Chapter 80 Could Minato and his son both be...?
Kushina waved excitedly upon seeing Souji and Tsukiyo arrive:
"Souji, it's Tsukiyo!"
"Kushina!"
Tsukiyo glanced at the two ANBU monitors standing behind her, frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure, walked up to Kushina and the other girl, shook hands, and chatted happily.
The Souji simply greeted them, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise when the girls were chatting.
As for the two monitors... there was nothing he could do either.
As a Jinchūriki, Kushina had the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts, sealed within her.
Therefore, in addition to the seal on her body, there was also a large, vortex-shaped sealing barrier within Konoha to enhance the sealing power.
Kushina is forbidden from leaving this sealed barrier on a regular basis, and two members of the Anbu have been assigned to monitor her for this purpose.
Although ordinary Anbu members are only relatively strong Chunin, they are directly under the Hokage.
Even Minato, the Hokage's direct grand-disciple, couldn't remove these two.
The Souji was naturally unable to offer any assistance.
Anyway, it's been more than a year or two, and Kushina has long been used to being monitored, so she doesn't resist it much anymore.
In fact, judging from this situation, even if Minato had become the Fourth Hokage in the original timeline, he probably still wouldn't have been able to completely solve this problem.
Removing the two monitors was easy, but leaving them inside the sealing barrier wasn't because the Hokage was being deliberately difficult for Kushina; rather, the Nine-Tails' power was too great, and it could easily go out of control and cause trouble once it left the barrier.
Even if Minato became Hokage, he couldn't change that.
Thinking this, Minato arrived.
Good morning, everyone!
"Too slow, Minato!"
While greeting him, Souji glanced at the combat vest that Minato was wearing.
Although many people wear combat vests as everyday clothes, no one would wear them on a date with their girlfriend.
It seems that things are developing exactly as originally planned.
Minato witnessed a Jinchuriki unleashing a Tailed Beast Ball on the battlefield, so upon returning to Konoha, he decided to develop the Rasengan and put on a combat vest.
This is his next step in developing ninjutsu.
The Souji then looked at the three little boys walking in this direction.
Kakashi, Guy, and Obito.
Good morning!
"Obito! Let's have a race today!"
"Huh? This is too much trouble! I'm not doing this, you go find Kakashi!"
"Kakashi! Let's have a race today!"
Okay! I'll definitely do it next time!
"???"
Seeing the adults greeting each other, the three children started chatting on their own.
In fact, the three children from Minato's team also went to the battlefield in the Land of Rain, but their strength was too low, so Minato couldn't take them with him when he carried out important missions.
Instead, they teamed up with other high-ranking ninjas.
Although the Souji saw them, he was too busy to pay attention to them.
In any case, nothing major was happening to them at this point in time.
Just then.
"What did you say!?"
"Waaah!"
Kushina's voice was loud and angry, which startled the three children on the spot. Kakashi and Obito, who had often suffered from Kushina's iron fist of love, were especially frightened and their faces turned pale.
The original plan was for everyone to wander around Konoha together today, have lunch together, and then go their separate ways.
Kushina would go with Minato to the nearby training grounds to teach him various advanced sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.
However, Minato suddenly said that it wouldn't work today.
Minato said with a troubled expression:
"I'm sorry, Kushina... I wanted to practice ninjutsu somewhere else today... I came to tell you..."
"What kind of technique?"
"Um...I..."
"Other places?"
"Third training ground..."
"Is it a ninjutsu that even I can't be told about...?"
"No, it's because it's not finished yet, and it's a very dangerous technique. I don't want you to get hurt..."
"Really? I understand."
"Um?"
"If you hate being with me, just say so!"
"I never thought that way!"
Kushina was extremely displeased, and her long, bright red hair started to float and sway slightly, looking rather frightening.
The three children moved away silently, and Tsukiyo looked like she wanted to dissuade them, but didn't know how to start.
Souji looked around.
According to the original plan, other passersby would have come out to find Minato and leave by now, but it was not the right time, and there were no such passersby nearby.
The Souji clapped his hands lightly and smiled at the two of them:
"Alright, alright, stop bullying Minato, Kushina."
"Souji..."
"When has Minato ever lied to you?
He really is developing ninjutsu right now.
Although it's not appropriate to say it out loud yet, he will definitely tell you everything once the jutsu is completed, right, Minato?"
"Ah? Yes, that's it! Kushina, it's true, believe me! I'll explain everything to you once this technique is complete!"
"What kind of technique is it that needs to be kept from me... Hmph! Never mind!"
Kushina was still very unhappy, hands on her hips, pointing at Minato and saying:
"If you're going to leave, then leave! I don't want to see you today!"
"Kushina..."
"snort!"
After Kushina finished cursing, she turned her head away and left.
Souji gave Tsukiyo a meaningful look, and Tsukiyo understood and quickly followed.
Two ANBU monitors followed, but neither reacted to the earlier conflict.
They were only responsible for monitoring and preventing Kushina from leaving the sealing barrier, and ignored everything else.
Seeing this, Souji couldn't help but sigh, wondering why Minato and Naruto both liked this type of girl. Were they both masochists?
Minato stood frozen in place as he watched Kushina leave.
The Souji patted him on the shoulder and smiled:
"Alright, what else is there to look at?"
"Brother Souji..."
"Don't worry, I'll have Tsukiyo put in a good word for you, nothing will happen... I mean you'll be fine, Kushina won't kill you."
"Ha ha..."
"If you're going to develop ninjutsu, hurry up and finish it sooner.
The longer you drag it out, the angrier Kushina will get!"
"Yes, thank you, Souji-nii!"
Minato nodded, then told Kakashi and Obito about his plans for them, before quickly leaving on his own.
The development of the Rasengan... that was supposed to happen some time later.
Minato hasn't had much experience and growth yet, so its development might not go smoothly.
Not knowing whether the subsequent developments would change anything, Souji thought about it and decided to pay more attention to Minato's side.
After all, the development of the Rasengan would have caused Minato a lot of trouble later.
He could have survived the original development and even improved his relationship with Kushina because of it.
But now Minato's strength is slightly weaker, and he might run into trouble if things go wrong.
Everyone ran away at once. After thinking for a moment, Souji also left and headed to Konoha's secret archives.
This is a rare period of peace in Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War, and he doesn't know how long it will last.
He needs to hurry up and do two things.
First, I'm setting up the Shadow Division; second, I'm contracting a top-tier summoning beast for myself.
