"Is he serious?" Minato was dumbfounded when he heard the news the next day.
He, like Xin, had assumed Nawaki's crush was just a fleeting thing, a passing fancy that would go away with time.
But no-Nawaki was dead serious about it.
"The Hyūga don't marry outside the clan. This is going to be next to impossible, right?"
"Impossible doesn't even begin to cover it. It's like declaring open war on the entire Hyuga clan. It's the same as trampling all over their traditions and honor."
"I'm thinking... maybe after some time, Nawaki will forget all about it. How about we take a mission, go out for a while?"
Xin honestly had no idea how to help with this, so his best option was to leave the village for a bit.
He figured if they went on a mission and stayed away for ten days or so, Nawaki might have already moved on by the time they got back.
"Sounds good to me," Minato grinned.
The Third Hokage had been hounding both him and Nawaki to become jōnin instructors, but Minato wasn't too keen on the idea. Taking on a mission seemed like the perfect way to dodge it.
"If we can find the right mission, that is."
The problem was finding a mission that suited three jōnin, one of whom was as overpowered as Xin. Regular missions weren't challenging enough for them, and they had no interest in assassination or intel-gathering tasks.
That really narrowed their options.
After all, S-rank missions weren't exactly growing on trees.
"That's easy. Leave it to me." Xin stood up and walked to his bedroom door, knocking loudly.
"Get out here. We need you for something. If you're not out in five minutes, Nawaki's problem is all yours to deal with!"
Thud!
Barely three seconds later, there was a loud crash from inside the room, like someone had fallen out of bed.
Hearing the commotion, Minato couldn't help but laugh.
By now, he was completely used to Tsunade crashing at Xin's place—and even more used to her taking over his bedroom.
In fact, Minato casually strolled over to the balcony, knowing what was coming next.
"What's the big deal? It's so early..." Tsunade grumbled as she emerged from the room, her hair a mess.
Her clothes were practically falling off her shoulders, leaving very little to the imagination.
Good grief...
Xin slapped a hand to his forehead.
"Can't you at least tidy yourself up before coming out here? You're not at home, you know."
"Your place is way more comfortable than mine. Your room is so clean; it's great for sleeping," Tsunade replied nonchalantly, pulling at her clothes without a care in the world.
"..."
Fine. You win. From now on, I'm locking my bedroom door every night. I'll only open it when I'm ready to sleep. Let's see you try to crash here then! Sighing, Xin rubbed his temples, watching as Tsunade flopped onto the couch.
"So, what's so urgent that you had to wake me up?" She yawned, still half-asleep.
