Namikaze Minato returned to the village. After finishing the meeting with Uchiha Ryun, he returned to his own home.
He opened the door. Inside, a red dressed, red haired girl who was eating potato chips suddenly stood up. "Minato, you're back. Hehe." The girl had her long red hair tied into a ponytail. Her skin was fair, and she looked very cute.
Hearing this voice, Namikaze Minato's mouth uncontrollably turned upward into a smile. "Yes, Kushina, I'm back. How have you been these past few days?"
The two were now boyfriend and girlfriend, and they lived together. This house, when it came down to it, was actually bought by Kushina.
Kushina was the child most favored by Uzumaki Mito among the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, Uzumaki Mito often gave her spending money, gave her various secret techniques, and gave her extra tutoring.
The Uzumaki clan within Konoha Village also amplified Lady Mito's behavior, treating her as the new princess of the Uzumaki clan, giving her money, sealing scrolls, and so on.
And Kushina used the money she had gotten over the years plus the money Minato earned from missions to buy this big house.
"Mmhmm." Kushina nodded. "I've been good. How about you? Was the battlefield fun? How many enemy nation shinobi did you defeat. Tell me about it, please."
Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato with a face full of worship. She knew Minato's strength. Since childhood, his two C rank jutsu could solve those adult bandits.
After growing up, he was even more incredible. Looking across the entire younger generation, only that guy Sarutobi Shinnosuke could exchange a few moves with Minato, but he still wasn't Minato's opponent.
Even Grandma Mito said that Namikaze Minato was a good young man. That had excited Kushina terribly at the time. She wanted to tell Mito about Minato's good points, but in the end, she held back.
"The battlefield isn't fun. Kushina, if possible, I hope you never have to go to the battlefield in your lifetime. Me going alone is enough." Namikaze Minato gently pinched Uzumaki Kushina's cheek and said with a soft laugh.
"Oww. You let go. Let go." Uzumaki Kushina's face was being pinched uncomfortably. Her eyes were teary as she pleaded there.
If it was anyone else pinching her cheek besides Minato, she would have long since kicked them out. Old fool. Have you ever heard the origin of Konoha's Red Hot Habanero.
Namikaze Minato suddenly realized he was pinching with a bit too much force. He quickly let go and rubbed Kushina's cheek for her.
Uzumaki Kushina snorted coldly. "Hmph. Fine, don't tell me then. Why did you pinch my cheek."
Namikaze Minato had a sudden idea. He snapped his fingers, then summoned a red rose and offered it to Uzumaki Kushina.
"Here, this flower is for you. Don't be angry anymore." The moment Namikaze Minato's sun like smile appeared, half of Uzumaki Kushina's anger vanished. Plus, with this flower.
Ahhhhhhhhh, so cheaty. Why. Kushina, can't you have a bit more self respect. How can you be bought off with just one flower.
Uzumaki Kushina accepted the flower and lowered her head, saying, "Oh." What. You ask me why I lowered my head.
If she looked up, wouldn't it expose how happy Kushina was right now. The corners of her mouth were raised, and she couldn't suppress it. In her heart, she was still giving herself hints, that she couldn't be so lacking in self respect.
Unfortunately, her hints failed. However, she expressed that this matter wasn't her fault. No matter who faced Minato, they would also be as elated as she was.
It was fortunate that Uchiha Ryun didn't see this scene. Otherwise, he might have laughed angrily. "I taught you the Summoning Jutsu for this. Also, why didn't you tell me about having such thoughts."
As Kushina's boyfriend, Namikaze Minato understood her to some extent. Kushina acting like this meant she wasn't angry anymore.
Then.
Namikaze Minato picked Kushina up. Kushina was startled. "Huh. Minato, what are you doing."
"Kushina always lowers her head. I can't see your expression. Lifting you up, I can see clearly." Namikaze Minato said with a smile.
"Ahhhhhhhhh. You're cheating. You can't do that. Cheating, cheating." Uzumaki Kushina's face was bright red, but the corners of her mouth carried a smile.
What she liked most was being lifted up high. Moreover, the person lifting her high was her dear boyfriend.
"Alright, little friend Kushina, I'll put you on the sofa. The floor is cold, and you always go without slippers. When your aunt comes, you'll be crying and complaining again." Namikaze Minato glanced at Kushina's bare feet and shook his head.
Then, Namikaze Minato carried Kushina to the sofa and set her down. Then he instructed, "Don't move. Wait for me here."
Uzumaki Kushina pouted but didn't refute. Immediately after, she saw Namikaze Minato bring a wet white towel, a dry fluffy towel, and a pair of fluffy slippers.
"Stretch your feet over." Namikaze Minato said. Kushina suddenly blushed. "I don't want to."
"Be good." Namikaze Minato started his sun like smile again. Kushina held out for one second before losing. She stretched her fair, jade like foot to Minato's hand, her face completely flushed, her head turned away.
Namikaze Minato smiled gently. "Isn't this better, then." Then he held Kushina's jade like foot with one hand and gently wiped it for her with the wet towel.
The towel was soaked with warm water. Moreover, while wiping Kushina's feet, he also used his fingertips to massage the acupoints on her sole with chakra. This was a massage technique he learned from Orochimaru that could alleviate period cramps.
(If you want to learn, just say so.)
Because Namikaze Minato's massage was too comfortable, Kushina couldn't help but moan softly. Although it was a bit embarrassing, she had to admit, Minato was very gentle and his technique was very comfortable.
After the massage, Namikaze Minato used the dry towel to wipe her feet dry, then set it aside and said softly, "The other one."
Kushina offered her other foot as well. Immediately after, Minato repeated the process, massaging it similarly and drying it.
"I've already cleaned and massaged for you. Remember to wear your slippers, understand." Namikaze Minato instructed patiently.
"Oh." Uzumaki Kushina pouted. Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded. Then he took the towels to the washroom, cleaned them, and hung them up.
When he came out, he saw Uzumaki Kushina wearing the fluffy slippers on her feet. He smiled slightly. Just as he was about to go talk to Kushina, suddenly the doorbell rang.
He was startled, not knowing who had come to visit. At this time, Uzumaki Kushina glanced at Namikaze Minato. Namikaze Minato shook his head, giving Uzumaki Kushina a "rest assured" look. Then he opened the door.
"Sensei. Big sis, we came to see you." The one speaking was Uchiha Obito. He said loudly, holding a fruit basket in his hand.
"Sensei, it was this guy who insisted on coming to disturb you. Sorry." Kakashi smiled helplessly and handed the fruit basket over.
Rin said cheerfully, "Minato sensei, we aren't disturbing you, are we. Back on the battlefield, we really have to thank Minato sensei for your attention and recommendation."
"So Obito and Kakashi both thought, after the war ended, we must come thank you."
Obito was loud and straightforward. Kakashi looked smug. And Rin was gentle and understanding. Only after Rin explained everything did Namikaze Minato understand.
So they came to thank him for recommending them to his teacher on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he smiled. "Come in quickly and sit down, kids. By the way, Obito, your big sister Kushina said she just likes your straightforward personality."
"She often says, if we have a child, she hopes they can be like you, an honest and straightforward person. Then, maybe we'll have to ask you, Obito, to help us look after the child." Namikaze Minato praised.
Uchiha Obito suddenly blushed. He scratched his head. Was he really that good. How come he didn't know.
"Hehe, big sis is really great. Only she praises me for being honest and straightforward. Anyone else would call me an idiot."
Hatake Kakashi glanced at him. "Hurry up and go in. Minato sensei has been standing at the door for so long. Soon, the wife will feel sorry for him."
"Oh oh. Right, right. Kakashi, let's go in quickly. And Rin, let's go together." Obito said with a laugh.
Nohara Rin's lips turned upward. "Mm." As she spoke, she actively took Obito's hand. The two of them walked into Minato's house like that.
Kushina had long since heard the voices of Minato and the three kids. Especially Obito. Every time he spoke, the corners of her mouth would also turn up.
This child was the least steady and most childish of the three kids. But this was also a form of innocence.
And Kushina herself had a personality similar to Obito's. She was also loud and straightforward, didn't overthink things. And she felt very affectionate towards Obito.
"Hey. You little brat, coming is enough. Why bring gifts. So formal with your big sis." Kushina suddenly became tough. She was meek in front of Minato, but she could swagger in front of her juniors.
"Big sis. Long time no see." Uchiha Obito grinned. He was also especially grateful to big sis. Big sis often gave him extra tutoring, teaching him taijutsu.
"Mm, not bad. You three have experienced war, and you've all matured and steadied a lot. Especially..." She still wanted to say something from the position of an elder, but suddenly her eyes widened, looking at Obito and Rin's held hands.
"Holy crap. Obito, Rin, you two." Uzumaki Kushina covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of disbelief. She, who hadn't sworn for several years, couldn't hold back anymore now.
Uchiha Obito grinned, his face a bit red. And Nohara Rin nodded. "Sister, Obito and I are together."
Uzumaki Kushina was originally somewhat surprised, but then returned to normal. "Actually, I knew you two would get together sooner or later. But I didn't expect it to be so soon. Especially with my brother's blockhead, how could he."
Suddenly Uzumaki Kushina thought of a possibility. "Little sister, you made the move." She quickly looked at Nohara Rin.
Nohara Rin smiled. "That's right, wife. I didn't want to wait anymore. I can't afford to wait. This war made me understand that cherishing the person in front of you is most important."
After saying this, Nohara Rin looked gently at Obito. She let go of Obito's hand and straightened his clothes for him. They had come in a bit of a hurry, so it looked rather messy.
"Ah. Little sister, that viewpoint is correct. Your sister here also actively pursued your sensei, you know. Now, aren't the two of us living very happily." When it came to women pursuing men, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly had a lot more to say.
Namikaze Minato rubbed Obito's head. "You brat, come with your sensei to cook."
"Oh oh oh." Obito reacted and followed.
Kakashi, "..."
Suddenly feeling the world was unfamiliar. I seem somewhat out of place.
