Chapter 164 New Ninjutsu
Taking over as Hokage before the age of fifteen is simply too early.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, of course, would not agree.
After thinking it over, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not immediately agree. However, in his opinion, it would be about right for Minato to take over as Hokage when he was fifteen years old. Judging from his strength and skills, Minato would not have any problems even if he took office right now.
However, his age was rather shocking, so he only said he would consider it and did not refuse immediately, otherwise Minato might have changed his mind.
He briefly recounted his experiences during this period. Minato left the Hokage Building, and shortly afterward, an announcement was published rehabilitating Minato Namikaze from his status as a rogue ninja.
Yes, it's a release, not a clarification.
If it's a clarification, it means that Minato's previous attacks on the major ninja villages were instigated by Konoha.
If it is to be lifted, then that would be Minato's personal action.
Although it might seem like a pointless exercise, and anyone with eyes can see what's really going on, it's still a diplomatic face-saving project that needs to be done.
As for the reason for the cancellation, it was only said that it was the work of spies who sowed discord between Watergate and the higher-ups, leading to some misunderstandings between the two sides.
As the news spread, Minato returned to Tsunade's house.
"I'm back!"
Shuimen opened the door and entered the room, calling out as usual.
Upon hearing Minato's voice, Tsunade put down a pharmacology book in her hand and rushed to the entrance. When she saw Minato, her eyes lit up.
She hurried forward, pulled on the water gate, and checked it over carefully: "Why did it take you so long to come back? Did you encounter any danger?"
"No, something interesting happened."
Minato smiled. "Where's the teacher? How have you been lately? I haven't seen Kushina and Nawaki."
"Kushina and Mikoto went shopping, and Nawaki went out with his friends. As for me—"
Tsunade paused, her fingertips lightly brushing against Minato's cheek: "Apart from missing you, everything else is fine."
Hearing Tsunade's straightforward words, Minato felt a pang of tenderness in his heart: "I miss you too, Sensei."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled into Tsunade's arms, making him feel as if he were floating on a cloud.
"Hmm?"
Minato felt suffocated and gently pushed with both hands, but Tsunade suddenly tightened her arms.
After a long while, Tsunade finally let out a long sigh of relief and released Minato, her long but voluptuous legs trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Minato was finally able to catch his breath. Noticing Tsunade's reaction, he raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat subtle.
Tsunade lowered her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong, embarrassed and at a loss for words: "I—I got a little too excited."
In fact, this was the first time the two had been alone together since they had completely confessed their feelings, especially since Minato had been away for a month before.
Tsunade stayed at home, spending her days either worrying about Minato's safety outside or fantasizing about their future life, feeling uneasy.
Longing and desire were intertwined, which led to her being unable to control herself upon seeing Minato.
"It's okay, I understand."
Seeing his usually strong teacher adopt this posture, Minato couldn't help but smile.
After sensing the surroundings for a moment, Minato discovered that Kushina and Mikoto were still three streets away, and Nawaki was at a training ground on the outer edge of the village. Only then did Minato reach out and gently stroke Tsunade's face.
"I'm happy to be able to help the teacher."
Although the two had many private conversations during their chakra connection, this was the first time they had crossed the line between teacher and student in real life, which made him feel somewhat emotional.
Upon hearing Minato's words, Tsunade, who had just released her emotions, had a mixture of charm and joy in her eyes. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly bent down, picked up Minato's right foot, as if she were putting a noble crown on it, and murmured something softly.
This is a new ninjutsu that the two have just researched. Similar to the summoning jutsu, it belongs to a certain type of contract-based ninjutsu.
Minato wasn't comfortable with Tsunade experimenting alone, so he left a Flying Thunder God mark on her.
To show his respect for Tsunade, his teacher, he even changed the design of the mark.
He no longer uses the Konoha symbol, but instead uses his own name. After all, he is now a renowned figure, and the title of Yellow Flash is much more intimidating than the Konoha symbol.
To show his respect and love for Tsunade, Minato also printed a heart-shaped mark around her name.
However, because the Flying Thunder God mark cannot be erased and looks like a tattoo, which could easily corrupt children, Tsunade insisted on placing the mark in a less conspicuous location.
Minato was initially unsure, as the communication during chakra connection was too private, and given Tsunade's personality, she probably wouldn't rashly experiment with such an unknown ninjutsu.
To his surprise, Tsunade was so decisive!
He had just returned, and I couldn't wait to drag him along to study it together—
"How is it? Do you like this technique?"
Perhaps because she sensed Minato's respect and love for her, Tsunade's tone softened, and her eyes glistened with tears.
"I like it, but it seems there's still room for improvement."
Minato helped Tsunade up: "For example, by combining it with medical ninjutsu, one can transfer their chakra to the contracted target, thereby affecting the target's senses and achieving an anesthetic effect."
"Then I'll look into it some more."
Tsunade affectionately linked arms with Minato, displaying a demure and submissive demeanor, completely unlike her usual strong and resolute nature.
Soon, when Kushina and Mikoto received news of Minato's return and rushed home, Minato was already in the kitchen preparing a large dinner.
Tsunade also regained her usual bossy demeanor and helped Minato prepare the food.
"Watergate!!!"
As soon as she saw Minato, Kushina threw herself into his arms.
"Why were you gone for so long? I missed you so much!"
"Didn't we rush back as soon as possible?"
Minato gently patted Kushina's little head.
Kushina gently rubbed against Minato's chest, her nostrils twitching almost imperceptibly.
Then, she reluctantly crawled out of Minato's arms and pulled Mikoto in front of her: "Hey, don't say I'm monopolizing you."
Mikoto blushed slightly upon hearing this, but still looked at Minato with gentle eyes.
Minato opened his arms and gave Mikoto a big hug.
Seeing this, Tsunade pouted, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart. She longed even more for Minato to grow up quickly so that she too could have a legitimate identity.
Hobbies are hobbies, and feelings are feelings.
Although she has unusual hobbies, she also has normal emotional needs.
Moreover, she wouldn't debase herself like this if there wasn't a sufficient emotional foundation; after all, she has her pride.
Ignoring Minato's affectionate interaction with his two girlfriends, Tsunade turned around to prepare the food.
Unbeknownst to them, although Kushina was clinging to Minato's side, her eyes kept darting around furtively towards her, and no one knew what she was thinking—
