Inside the tent, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya were discussing how to make Shindai summon a Shinobi Hawk.
Minato Namikaze suggested, "Let's casually fabricate something about what we're planning to do to Hidden Sand Village. I think Shindai will immediately summon a Shinobi Hawk to inform the Third Kazekage."
Jiraiya agreed, "Then let's do that."
Minato Namikaze stood up from his chair and said to Jiraiya, "Then, Lord Jiraiya, please rest well. I'm going to Shindai's tent now to find Shindai and resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"Wait, Minato."
Jiraiya and Tsunade simultaneously stopped Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze turned around and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Jiraiya said awkwardly, "Shindai shouldn't be in his own tent right now. Am I right, Tsunade?"
Tsunade replied expressionlessly, "Hmm, that kid is right here."
Minato Namikaze was surprised, "Shindai is here too? Did he come here to help out to avoid a mission?"
Jiraiya cleared his throat and said, "No, Shindai is also injured and is here recuperating."
"Huh?"
Minato Namikaze was now full of questions.
Shindai was also injured? Seeing Jiraiya's reluctance to speak, it seemed Shindai's injury was related to Jiraiya and Tsunade.
What happened while he was away?
Minato Namikaze didn't think much further and said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, please take me to see Shindai, and then I'll need your cooperation, Lady Tsunade."
Tsunade nodded in agreement and led Minato Namikaze towards the tent where Shindai and Obito were.
Before even entering the tent, Minato Namikaze heard Shindai and Obito arguing.
"Does this have anything to do with me? It's all your fault, Shindai, for getting me beaten up by Lady Tsunade!"
"What the hell does it have to do with me! You're the one who, with a one-track mind, spilled all the beans. Couldn't you have embellished it a bit and then thrown all the problems onto Lord Jiraiya? As long as all the problems were thrown onto Lord Jiraiya, neither you nor I would have been beaten!"
"In that situation, who knew what to say! And was I wrong to tell the truth?! It was clearly your and Lord Jiraiya's problem, I'm truly too innocent!"
"Innocent my ass! You also knew about the puppet. That's knowing but not reporting, a double crime! You deserved that beating, it serves you right!"
After hearing Shindai and Obito's argument outside the tent, Minato Namikaze, based on his understanding of Jiraiya, had already guessed some of the truth.
It was probably Jiraiya who had Shindai make an improper puppet, which was then discovered by Tsunade, and finally, all of them were beaten up by Tsunade.
Minato Namikaze sighed.
One after another, they were all so troublesome.
Although he was mentally prepared, upon entering the tent and seeing Shindai and Obito, whose faces were swollen like pig heads, Minato Namikaze was still startled.
How badly were they beaten!
When Shindai and Obito saw Minato Namikaze, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Before Obito could speak, a familiar dark shadow darted out.
Hmm... it seemed just like last time when Kakashi hadn't even finished his retreat words after being discovered while spying on the Cloud Ninja, and Shindai had already darted out.
Shindai pounced onto Minato Namikaze and cried out pitifully, "Lord Minato, you're finally back! I've been bullied here! I've been bullied not only by Obito but also by Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade!
It was Lord Jiraiya who did the bad things, but everything was blamed on me. Lady Tsunade listened to Lord Jiraiya's slander and beat me up badly, it hurts so much!
Waaah, Lord Minato, I'm so badly injured. You're the best to me here. I want to ask Lord Minato to apply to return to the Konoha Ninja Hospital for more meticulous treatment!"
Obito stared dumbfounded at Shindai's dramatic act.
When did he bully Shindai?!
Obito was about to retort when he suddenly saw the person behind Minato Namikaze, immediately shrinking his head, lying obediently on the bed, and pulling the blanket over his head to play dead.
Minato Namikaze was also very embarrassed now. When talking nonsense, shouldn't one at least see clearly who they're talking to?
"Shindai, get off me first..."
Shindai clutched Minato Namikaze's clothes tightly and wouldn't let go, "I won't! If Lord Minato doesn't agree, I won't get down!"
"Heh, I bullied you? Jiraiya blamed everything on you? I listened to slander?"
Hearing that familiar sarcastic voice, Shindai's pig-like face immediately twisted in fear.
Shindai got off Minato Namikaze, his eyes tightly shut, swaying as if in a trance, murmuring, "Sigh, it's all Obito's fault for casting a genjutsu on me with his Sharingan, making me talk in my sleep. I'm asleep right now, so no matter who hears it, these words are just my sleep-talking caused by Obito's genjutsu. It has nothing to do with me, it's all Obito's fault..."
Shindai shuffled his feet to his sickbed, then quickly hopped onto the bed, wrapped himself in the blanket, and began to shiver.
Obito immediately became anxious. How could he be smeared like that?
Obito quickly pulled back the blanket and explained, "I didn't cast genjutsu on Shindai, and besides, I haven't even awakened my Sharingan! Lord Minato, Lady Tsunade, you have to believe me!"
Minato Namikaze sighed, helplessly saying, "I believe you, Obito."
Then Minato Namikaze turned to Tsunade and said, "Lady Tsunade, for my sake, please don't bother with the two of them."
Tsunade snorted heavily.
Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. Tsunade didn't speak, just snorted, which meant she granted him this favor.
Otherwise, if Tsunade were to beat Shindai again, Minato Namikaze would truly find it difficult to stop her.
Minato Namikaze said to Obito, "I came to let you know I'm back, Obito. I'll take you to another tent, to prevent you from arguing with Shindai again later."
Obito immediately agreed, "Okay!"
Obito couldn't wait to not be in the same tent as Shindai. Who knew what crazy stunt Shindai might pull again, causing him to be severely beaten by Tsunade.
Now Obito held one saying as gospel truth.
That is, 'When there is no danger, Shindai is the biggest danger!'
So, for his own life, cherish life, and stay away from Shindai.
Then Minato Namikaze said to Shindai, "Shindai, I'll take Obito to another tent. I won't disturb your rest. Please rest well, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Shindai poked his head out from under the blanket and bid farewell to Minato Namikaze, "See you tomorrow, Lord Minato!"
Minato Namikaze carried Obito on his back, then gave Tsunade a look. Tsunade understood and followed Minato Namikaze out of the tent.
