"I'm back!"

"Welcome back!"

As soon as Minato returned home, Kushina rushed out of her room quickly, a passionate smile on her face.

"Minato, it's finally a holiday, let's go—"

Before she finished speaking, Kushina saw Nawaki beside Minato, and her smile instantly disappeared: "Why are you back, Nawaki?"

"Hey hey hey, this is my home after all!"

Several black lines appeared on Nawaki's forehead: "I'm really sorry, I, this light bulb (third wheel), am really too bright."

"L-Light bulb or whatever, no one said that..."

Kushina turned her head guiltily, her two index fingers touching each other, poking: "At most, just a little in the way."

The corner of Nawaki's mouth twitched: "Did you just say what you were thinking out loud?"

"Don't mind those details..."

Kushina giggled, then cast a very concerned look at Mikoto behind the two: "By the way, who is this beautiful sister?"

Mikoto nodded slightly, her tone gentle: "Nice to meet you, my name is Mikoto Uchiha, Teacher Orochimaru's disciple. Please take care of me."

"Kushina Uzumaki, please take care of me!"

Feeling the gentle temperament of the girl next door from the other party, a sense of crisis grew wildly in Kushina's heart.

This subtle emotion was even perceived by Nawaki, who was always very obtuse in emotional matters.

"Um... I'll go back to my room first. Remember to call me for dinner."

Nawaki kicked off his shoes and walked quickly back to his room, his back looking a bit hasty.

"Teacher is on duty at the Jonin standby station this morning. Sister Mikoto, come inside first."

The three came to the living room. Minato brought fruits and snacks, and poured drinks for the three.

Kushina sat next to Minato very naturally, her small face tense, looking at Mikoto with a bit of vigilance.

Watching Kushina's food-guarding appearance, Mikoto couldn't help smiling.

She pointed to her own hair, looking at Kushina: "Your hair is very beautiful."

"Eh? Re... really?"

Kushina blushed, turned her head embarrassedly, and ran her fingers through her red hair: "Thank you... Minato also said so."

What an easy-to-understand girl!

Watching Kushina's reaction, Mikoto chuckled: "That means Minato-kun has good taste."

"Hehe, right?"

Kushina grinned: "By the way, does Sister Mikoto have business with Tsunade-nee?"

"I have business with Sensei."

Minato explained: "I will give Nawaki and Sister Mikoto special training later, and I plan to ask Sensei to help apply for Nawaki's withdrawal from his team."

"Special training?"

Kushina was instantly alert: "With Sister Mikoto?"

Nawaki, who was eavesdropping at the door: "..."

At this moment, he really wanted to rush into the living room and ask Kushina: Am I human? Am I actually human?!

"I said Nawaki is also there."

Minato couldn't help laughing, and Mikoto also covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Then I want to participate too!"

Kushina clenched her small fists, looking at Minato pleadingly: "Can I?"

"Mmh... alright."

Minato nodded. Herding one sheep is herding, herding a flock is also herding.

Although as a reserve Jinchuriki, Kushina basically didn't need to consider the issue of going to the battlefield, it was good to have more awareness of vigilance and means of self-protection, so as not to be inexplicably kidnapped by Hidden Cloud like in the original work.

Because there was a "king of grinding" (hard worker) like him who practiced with clones, Nawaki and Kushina had not been idle in the past two years.

Although Nawaki had been struggling with Rasengan, he also practiced a lot of Nature Release ninjutsu along the way.

And Kushina had the most outstanding cultivation talent of the Uzumaki clan in this generation. Before coming to Konoha, she had already mastered the Three Basic Jutsu.

In the past two years, she had also mastered tree climbing and water walking, as well as many basic sealing jutsu of the Uzumaki clan. Even the sealing jutsu Minato learned were given by Kushina.

The current Kushina, although limited by age and having obvious shortcomings in physique, was not worse than Nawaki in other aspects.

"In that case, we might as well graduate early." Minato suggested.

Actually, he had long decided to graduate early.

Once the war broke out, Nawaki would definitely go to the battlefield.

Therefore, even without the necklace incident, Minato would apply for early graduation at that time and form a squad with Nawaki, lest the other party get himself killed confusedly.

"Early graduation? Okay, okay!"

Kushina's eyes lit up: "Then can I form a team with Minato?"

"Of course!"

Minato nodded happily.

"Great!"

Getting Minato's answer, Kushina cheered.

"Hey hey, wait!"

Nawaki, who was originally hiding behind the door secretly expecting a Shura field (love triangle drama), heard Minato's words and couldn't wait to rush into the living room: "What about me? Minato, you applied for my withdrawal, you have to be responsible, right?"

Don't say it in such a misleading way...

Minato smiled helplessly: "You too, and Sister Mikoto too, okay?"

"Eh? Me? But Root..."

Mikoto was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

She couldn't lose her position in Root. After all, that was obtained by the clan ceding the power of the Police Force.

"I will explain the situation to Senior Orochimaru regarding Root, and keep a nominal title for you."

Minato explained: "Even if we graduate early, the three of us are just Genin. According to the rules, there must be at least a Chunin to lead the team."

Nawaki was puzzled: "Then why not ask Sis to lead the team?"

Minato was speechless: "Sensei has to be on daily standby and help in the hospital. Once war breaks out, she has to rush to the front line immediately. Do you want to exhaust her to death?"

"Haha, that's true~" Nawaki grinned awkwardly.

"Does Sister Mikoto have any other questions?" Minato looked at Mikoto.

"No more."

Mikoto shook her head.

The Uchiha clan valued strength above all else. In this atmosphere, even her gentle personality would inevitably be influenced.

Minato was four years younger than her, but his strength far exceeded hers. she had long been conquered by the strength shown by the other party.

Coupled with Orochimaru's arrangement, she subconsciously had a high recognition of Minato, and even faintly carried a bit of admiration.

Minato nodded: "Then it's settled!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

"I'm back!"

"Welcome back!"

Tsunade walked into the living room, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, and finally landing on Mikoto's face.

Looking at the other party's beautiful and refined face, and feeling the gentle temperament on the other party, the corners of Tsunade's eyes twitched slightly.

It has nothing to do with Minato!

Tsunade prayed silently in her heart, then showed a kind smile.

"This is..."

"Mikoto Uchiha, Senior Orochimaru's disciple. Senior Orochimaru is relatively busy recently, so he asked me to help teach her during training." Minato introduced.

Damn Orochimaru!!!

Tsunade roared in her heart.

But on the surface, she had to act like an elder: "Haha, I didn't expect that guy Orochimaru to accept a disciple too."

Whatever disciple or not, Uchiha or not, she didn't care about those at all now, only wanting to settle accounts with Orochimaru.

Bullshit 'help teach', that guy definitely has ulterior motives!

With Orochimaru's ability, does he need others to help teach a student?

Knowing each other for so many years, who doesn't understand whom?
