Kushina speeds up, her cheeks turning red. "Be quiet, dattebane!" You're never home, and when you are, Naruto is present. "Allow me to have you."
That evening, the duo clad in their typical Shinobi attire arrives at Hokage's office. In eight years, this has also transformed. It now featured a pair of impressive seating arrangements for both Hokages.
Even though Minato seldom occupied his chair, that chair indicated to all visitors that they were engaging with him as well.
Hiruzen gazes at the joyful couple while puffing on his signature pipe. "Greetings, Yondaime and Kushina."
Minato's expression shifts slightly. "How often have I said to call me Minato, Sandaime-sama? You are not just my guardian but also the protector of all of Konoha and my predecessor." "You need not refer to me in that way."
Hiruzen smiles, "It would be the same amount of times that I have said we hold equal standing." Actually, technically speaking, since Konoha operates as a military dictatorship, you are one level higher. "I'm simply your advisor and hold the esteemed title of Hokage."
The two men burst into laughter. Kushina observes the interaction from a distance, and for the first time, she witnessed such engagement between them. Emerging from her daze, she addresses Hiruzen in her usual manner, "Greetings Old Man, How's everything going? Still not prepared to bite the dust?"
Minato clears his throat, and Hiruzen has a few metaphorical ticks appearing on his forehead. "I'm doing well too, Kushina, and sadly, I'm still not prepared to check out, as you put it," he said, gesturing to the paperwork surrounding him. "However, as you can see, if these tasks aren't completed soon, I might become trapped down here."
Before Kushina could respond more energetically to their talk, Minato interrupts, "Actually, that's the reason I came here." I see you are seeking help in this situation.
He gestures around the room, "I appreciate that you have assumed this role when it was my duty, but as you know, not everyone can be placed in this office."
As Hiruzen gestures for him to proceed, "Kushina is eager to return to active duty, now that Naruto has started at the academy. I highlighted the opportunity for her, and she is excited about it I would –
Before he could proceed, Kushina cuts in, "Directly to the point Minato, Old Man, I want to be here to fulfill my aspiration of becoming Hokage. "Can you permit me to work here?"
Minato internally exhales, grinning at his wife's strategies. "What are your thoughts?" He questions Hiruzen, who appears to be lost in contemplation, disrupting the quiet. He responds, "Are you certain, Kushina? This is standard office tasks with hardly any shinobi activity. I have known you since we were kids, and I don't understand-
Noticing Kushina's hair bouncing, he carefully chooses his next words, aiming to diffuse the rising tension with her. "I'll be as direct as you prefer; will you stop if you find it dull?" Because it's somewhat like a job. There are no specific office hours, and it is a rather unappreciated role.
"While it comes with the benefit of being esteemed by the entire village, the responsibility is also significant."
"Considering Minato, he suggested your name not due to your marriage or trustworthiness but because he envisions you stepping into this role after me."
"Should I mention when I retire or pass away in your terms?"
He let out a small laugh. "Is my understanding correct, Minato?"
Kushina gazes at her husband with a questioning expression. Minato exhales and says with a grave tone, "Indeed, that's the strategy; nothing slips past you, right, Sandaime-sama?"
"As you are aware, this responsibility cannot be entrusted to everyone, and not everyone qualifies for this position." This concerns the status and presence of our village.
I require a reliable person to monitor our Konoha internally while I eliminate its dangers externally.
And I have faith in you, Kushina. You are capable of accomplishing this. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it didn't benefit the village."
Listening to those patriotic and uplifting words from her Husband, or rather her Hokage at this moment, Kushina felt a wave of emotions wash over her. She recalled the reason she had fallen for the fool.
Prior to arriving here, it was merely a way to occupy time, but after hearing his explanation, she felt inspired.
Puffing out her chest, "I'm prepared for anything, and this tedious paperwork will never drive me away. I am not joking. "I will do my utmost within my capabilities."
Both Minato and Hiruzen grin at her demeanor. Hiruzen grins. "Then it's agreed." "Congratulations on your new role, Kushina, Deputy to the Hokage or, as I might call you, the future Hokage."
Kushina cheers and leaps towards Minato, embracing him tightly. Releasing him, she left him panting for air.
She leaped at unsuspecting Hiruzen, embracing him tightly as he exclaimed, "You're squeezing too hard, Kushina. If you don't let go of me right now, I'll actually kick the bucket."
Although he was actually quite content inside. Sensing her soft breasts pressing against his chest and enjoying the delightful fragrance of shampoo from her hair.
Kushina was considered one of the most attractive Kunoichis in Konoha, if not the entire elemental Nations, and her beauty had only grown over time.
Her long, vibrant red hair cascaded past her knees as it flowed freely. With body measurements of 95/56/88 (BWH), as noted by his possibly favorite pupil Jirriaya.
He was unaware of how he acquired them, yet he would never question them. Minato had been fortunate to be with her. To his knowledge, she was among the secret desires of numerous men, including civilians, Shinobi, and occasionally Kunoichis as well.
He still recalled her as a flat-chested tomboy chasing after boys and kicking their butts. Who would have guessed she'd turn into such a stunner?
Minato interrupted his wandering thoughts. "While this occasion is joyful, Kushina, you will need to undergo training for this role." Not just understanding the documentation but also handling interactions with nobles – "
