Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 556 Being a Guest
Lu Chen promised them that the remaining caged birds would be dealt with for them in a few days, and the matter was over.

After the matter was resolved satisfactorily, the people who had separated from the family gradually left the yard.

With the exception of Hiashi's father, everyone was pleased with the outcome. The Hokage had quelled the internal strife that threatened to weaken the village, Hiashi remained as clan leader, the ordinary branch families were freed from their caged existence, Lu Chen saw the excitement, and Uchiha Itachi began to reflect. This was a happy outcome for everyone.

After most of the people present had left, Hiashi thanked Minato and said, "Hokage-sama, thank you for your help to the Hyuga clan. From now on, our clan will definitely support you with all its strength."

Hiashi kept his attitude very humble and said this very sincerely. After all, Minato's prestige in the eyes of the branch family was much higher than that of him as the patriarch.

Moreover, Hiashi is actually a clan leader who is very aware of the current situation. Judging from the fact that he abolished the caged bird after Naruto came to power, he has a clear understanding of the situation.

Minato didn't take all the credit for this matter, so he shook his head and said, "I didn't contribute much. The fact that your clan's affairs were resolved so satisfactorily was entirely due to the efforts of Lord Lu Chen. I didn't do anything commendable."

Rizu was startled. He hadn't seen what had happened, and could only discern what was happening by the surrounding noise. It seemed this man had unsealed the caged bird. His family's secrets were so insignificant in the hands of someone else.

The word "sir" from the Fourth Hokage further illustrates Lu Chen's extraordinaryness. Although Minato is a humble person, he can only call the Third Hokage and Tsunade "sir". It is impossible for him to call others "sir".

So Hiashi thanked Lu Chen very respectfully and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu Chen, for your help to our Hyuga clan. If there is anything you need us to do, please feel free to ask."

Lu Chen didn't need any help from the Hyuga clan, and as for the Byakugan, V probably didn't need it either.

So Lu Chen decided to start praising Minato: "What I did was just a piece of cake. The fact that your clan was able to resolve the conflict satisfactorily is all thanks to the Hokage."

After a few more pleasantries, Minato said goodbye to Hiashi, "Patriarch Hiashi must have a lot to do after this conflict. I will not disturb you from handling family affairs."

Since he had completed the mission ahead of schedule, Minato decided to go back home. He had been so busy these past few days that he had hardly been home.

Lu Chen mixed in with the Anbu team following Minato and walked towards the door of the Hyuga family, completely ignoring the Anbu's wary eyes towards him. He even had the energy to guess which clan the person under the mask was from.

There was no need to guess who the guard was; he must be the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan. He had definitely gotten into the Hokage's guard through a backdoor.

Lu Chen secretly slandered Itachi, who was a little distracted, in his heart, saying that he was not professional as a guard. Even the Anbu next to him had to divert their energy to take care of him.

As for the others, Lu Chen had some recollection of them, most likely Genma Shiranui and his two companions. He couldn't remember the names of the other two, but they were all insignificant minions, and if a fight broke out, it would most likely be Minato who would protect them.

When Lu Chen walked to the Hyuga family's gate which was under reconstruction, he was thinking about what to do next.

What surprised Lu Chen was that Minato actually invited him to visit his home: "Lord Lu Chen, would you like to visit my home?"

Lu Chen didn't care whether Minato was being polite or not, he had already made the request.

So he decisively agreed: "Okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, and Jiraiya will be able to give me an answer tomorrow."

It was a good opportunity to meet the Nine-Tails. With the Nine-Tails chakra in his body, he should be able to communicate with the Nine-Tails through consciousness. Minato still said with a smile: "Since you are a guest, don't forget to bring a gift."

He even had time to make a joke. It seemed that Minato was not being polite. He really wanted to invite Lu Chen to his home. Perhaps he wanted his wife to use the special ability of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki to sense Lu Chen's good and evil. The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki had extremely special abilities.

"Now that I've mentioned it, I'll have to think carefully about what snacks I should buy you from the roadside store. As for what I bring, I'll have to see what shops are on the way to your house."

"It was just a joke, please don't take it seriously. Come with me to my house now. I'm a very good cook."

As he said this, Minato proudly boasted about his cooking skills, and his status as the younger brother of the family was immediately revealed.

After entering the Shuimen family, Lu Chen took out a bottle of high-end-looking wine.

Since we were visiting someone's home, we had to bring some small gifts. Sparkling wine from the Suqing world, a wine that even goddesses praised. Lu Chen bought quite a bit, which caused Aqua to have a lot of trouble for a while because she had no wine to drink.

"This is a fine wine I brought from another world. You can taste it later."

Ninjas were able to carry large amounts of supplies through scrolls, so Lu Chen's action of taking out a bottle of wine out of thin air did not arouse Minato's suspicion.

Minato happily accepted it, "Thank you for your expense."

At this time, a slightly reproachful voice came over.

"Minato you haven't been home in two days."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Minato's face. He smiled at Lu Chen without saying anything.

Then Kushina walked out of the house. When she saw the guests, she said embarrassedly, "We have guests visiting. Please come in." Then she glared at Minato fiercely for bringing people to visit without telling her.

After everyone sat down, Minato introduced him to his wife: "This Master Lu Chen is a friend of Jiraiya-sensei. He just helped me solve a lot of troubles. So I specially invited him to be our guest."

Kushina greeted Lu Chen with a smile.

Then he said to Lu Chen: "This is my wife Kushina." As for the identity of the Jinchūriki, he couldn't say it casually.

Of course, Lu Chen had some understanding of the previous Jinchūriki. Although it was a bit impolite, Lu Chen still used the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body to begin to sense the existence of the Nine-Tails.

Lu Chen also has the Nine-Tails' chakra in his body, so when Lu Chen felt the Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails in Kushina's body also felt these powers. It also saw Lu Chen's existence through the prison.
