Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

"what?!"

Mito Monzuki was stunned. She hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would disregard her father's feelings and punish her as well!

"Pfft!"

Chiba laughed out loud right in front of the two of them.

Faced with Chiba's mocking smile, Mito Monzuki couldn't care less and quickly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and pleaded.

“Uncle Hiruzen, I have devoted a lot of effort to the new medical reform department and managed it very well. Moreover, besides me, who else in Konoha can take on this important task now?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said calmly, "Tsunade happens to be free recently, so I think it's quite appropriate for her, the one who proposed the new medical reform, to take charge."

Mitomonzuki was speechless for a moment, standing there feeling wronged, tears welling up in her eyes.

She didn't understand. It was clearly Chiba's fault. Wouldn't it have been better if Chiba had just given in to her from the beginning?

Why take away the position of person in charge that she worked so hard to get, just for the sake of an ordinary citizen!

"Uncle Hiruzen, I...!"

Mito Mongetsu wanted to say something more, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had already lowered his head and started working on the documents on the table.

"In the office, remember to address me by my title. I have other matters to attend to, you two can both leave."

"...Yes, Hokage-sama."

Mito Mototsuki bit her lip and left the Hokage's office reluctantly, along with Chiba.

Not only did she fail to achieve any merit on this trip, she also lost the position of person in charge that her father had gotten for her. Her father will definitely scold her to death when she gets back!

Mitomon Tsuki has never been afraid of anything since she was a child, but she is terrified of Mitomon Homura's scolding, and she has begun to feel uneasy.

"Miss Mitomon, why are you so upset? A mere manager's position probably wouldn't even be of any interest to you, would it?"

As they left the Hokage Building, Chiba chuckled and teased.

"You bastard, you're still making sarcastic remarks! It's all because of you, you bastard, I'm going to strangle you!"

Having been "bullied" by Chiba time and time again today, Mito Mongetsu was so angry that she completely lost her mind and screamed as she lunged at Chiba.

"What are you doing?!"

With a slight exertion of his arms, Mito Mongetsu, who had thrown herself into his arms, lost her power and began to wriggle and squirm in his embrace, which annoyed him.

Aside from her intelligence, Mito Monzuki is top-tier in everything else—well, top-tier flat-chested. Fortunately, Chiba remained composed and didn't immediately provoke her…

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"Stop fooling around, or I'll spank you!"

Homura Mito, who had just arrived at the Hokage Building to discuss his daughter with Hiruzen, fell into deep thought upon seeing this scene.

"Didn't you say that Tsuki and Chiba had a very awkward falling out?"

...So this is what it's like to be embarrassed?

"Speaking of which, Chiba is indeed a very promising young man. If Yue really likes him..."

Mitokado Yan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

To be honest, he thought highly of Chiba. Although the boy had no family background, such a person would be easier to integrate into his Mitomon clan.

Moreover, his pampered daughter, who has always been arrogant, was seeing her so intimate with a man for the first time.

"Father!"

When Mitokado saw Mitokado Homura, she had been struggling in Chiba's arms for a long time, her whole body was limp, and her beautiful hair was wet and stuck to her face.

"Chiba, you bastard, let me go, I'm begging you!"

Mitomon Tsuki was startled and pleaded with Chiba in a tearful voice.

Swish!

Without even asking Mitokazuki to speak, Chiba voluntarily let go of her hand, her eyes darting around as she tried to find a suitable escape route.

He treated that girl's daughter like that just now; Mitokado Hōjō might just rush over and fight him to the death right now!

Before Chiba could even begin to offer some encouragement, Mitokado Homura appeared in front of him in a flash and placed his hand on Chiba's shoulder.

"What the hell?"

Chiba trembled, ready to transform into a paper doll and fly away, but Mitokado Homura suddenly revealed a kind smile.

"Don't panic, Chiba."

"I was young once too. It's perfectly normal for you young people to have some conflicts. It's no big deal."

"Huh? Mitokado Homura (my father) didn't scold me?!"

Chiba and Mito Mongetsu were both taken aback, and even exchanged a knowing glance. The current situation was quite different from what they had imagined.

"but!"

Mitokado Homura's face hardened, and Chiba and the other man's hearts skipped a beat. But the next moment, Mitokado Homura laughed again.

Chiba, Tsuki: "???"

"However, this is a public place after all. Your behavior just now was really inappropriate. You should be more mindful of your behavior in the future, understand?" Mitokado Yan instructed.

"Understood, Lord Mitomon (father)." The two quickly bowed their heads in response.

"Hmm, very good. I still need to discuss your matter with the Third Hokage, so I'll take my leave now."

Mitokado Homura nodded slightly in satisfaction, then patted Chiba's shoulder again and said, "Yue is a girl after all, so you should be more considerate of her in the future, understand?"

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve in the future, you can come to my house to play chess with me, and I'll chat with you."

"Okay, okay."

Watching Mitokado Homura's departing figure, Chiba nodded with a bewildered expression.

Chiba thought her father would be a difficult character, given how unruly Mito Mongetsu was, but to her surprise, he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

After how she treated his daughter, he was still so polite to her...

"Mito Monzuki, your father is actually a very nice person!" Chiba exclaimed.

"Father, he's not usually like this?" Mito Mongetsu was also confused.

Not only did she lose her job today, but she also lost her composure in front of her father. Shouldn't her father have given her a severe scolding?

How could he be so kind? Even on her birthday, her father always had a stern face!

"...Hmph, I don't want to talk to you. I never want to see you again, you damned commoner!"

After realizing that he had subconsciously responded to Chiba's words.

Mito Mototsuki snorted coldly, turned her head and walked in the other direction, but the blush on her face had not yet faded.

"Ha, as if I wouldn't even bother with you!"

After regaining his senses, Chiba also gave a cold laugh and walked towards the direction of Konoha Hospital.

……

Konoha Hospital.

"Phew, it's that familiar ceiling..."

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, and upon seeing the familiar surroundings, his tense body instantly relaxed.

"You're awake, senior brother. Let me get you a glass of water."

Just then, Chiba's voice came from the side. Minato quickly sat up and asked, "Chiba, how is Kyu?"

“She’s fine, but she left the village without permission and has been placed under house arrest by the three generations of elders. She’ll have to stay at home for the next month, which is why she hasn’t been able to come see you.”

Chiba handed the warm water to Minato and said with a smile, "Also, I've already reported those ANBU ninjas who almost killed you to the Third Hokage."

"That's it..."

Minato's heart finally settled down. He took the hot water, sipped it, and looked at Chiba with immense gratitude.

"Thanks to you this time, Chiba, otherwise Xiao Jiu and I would have been in danger!"

Chiba smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Senior brother, we're all family, so please don't stand on ceremony with me."

Chiba also gained a lot from Minato and Kushina. If it weren't for the need to keep the system's existence secret, Chiba would have liked to thank Minato in return.

Minato didn't say anything more, but silently kept this kindness in his heart.

Previously, he hadn't had much contact with Chiba, and his feelings for this fellow disciple weren't deep.

However, after this incident, Chiba's status in his heart rose sharply, ranking third.

"By the way, junior brother," Minato suddenly remembered something and asked, "What was that Rasengan you asked me about before?"

"Well, I heard from Jiraiya-sensei that you were developing a new technique to counter the Tailed Beast Ball, but I couldn't remember the name you came up with, so I simplified it to Rasengan."

After listening to Chiba's explanation, Minato nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, Rasengan... Rasengan... Rasengan... I understand!"

Minato's eyes suddenly shone with an intense light.

He raised his uninjured arm, and as the chakra spiraled together, a blue-green ball of light slowly took shape in his hand.

"As long as it remains the same in every direction and maintains a spiral state, this technique can remain stable."

Minato released the dumpling in his hand and looked at Chiba with excitement, saying, "Junior brother, you are truly a genius!"

"I only mentioned a name, and you've already imagined the moves. Is it possible that this genius is you?" Chiba thought to himself.

"That's great, Chiba. To thank you, I've decided to name this move 'Light Wheel Spiral Inspired Chiba Double Style Maru Zero Style'!"

Minato was overjoyed. The next time he encountered the Nine-Tails going berserk or other tailed beasts, he could use this technique to protect Kyu!

"No, Senior Brother Minato."

Chiba shook his head and said, "I heard you developed this move to protect Kushina. If that's the case, I think you should go to her and let her name it."

"She's under house arrest, and she'd be so happy to see you safe and sound in front of her."

"You're right, Chiba, I'm going to find Kyu!" Upon hearing this, Minato threw off the covers and prepared to change his clothes and run outside.

At this moment, the nurse who came to check on the patient quickly said, "Hey, patient, the doctor said you can't get out of bed, lie back down!"
