My older sister is Kushina

Chapter 77 Let's Check It Out!

With the end of the battle between Uchiha Shisui and Killer Bee, the second day of the ninjutsu exchange quietly came to a close, leaving only the final day.

The final day features only three matches: the ultimate showdown between Jonin, Chunin, and Genin.

Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others left together on the high platform.

The crowd gradually left the arena.

The swirling flower path also quickly left along with the departing crowd.

Soon after, he appeared in the Hokage's office.

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze stood by the window, gazing out over the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Is there any news about the identity of that person from last night?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head: "We haven't found any valuable information yet. I had people secretly investigate both embassies, and neither of them is missing anyone."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Could it be someone from Kumogakure or Kirigakure?"

Minato Namikaze: "Not necessarily. Right now, the ones who covet our Konoha the most are probably Kumogakure and Kirigakure. Although the two delegations have not lost any people, that is only on the surface."

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded; it wasn't impossible for the two delegations to hide someone.

Minato Namikaze continued, "I've had people continue their covert investigation."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "If it's confirmed that the man in black is from Kumogakure or Kirigakure, what are your plans?"

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment: "Let's handle this privately. Even if we have solid evidence of the man in black's identity, it's not advisable to escalate the conflict. Escalating the conflict with any village could trigger a new round of war, which would be detrimental to Konoha. Right now, what Konoha needs most is to recuperate."

During the Third Shinobi World War, which began not long after the Second Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze witnessed too much cruelty and suffering brought by war. As the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, he hoped that Konoha could enter a peaceful era, as could other villages and countries. Although he knew it was too idealistic, it was the goal he wanted to strive for as Hokage.

Uzumaki Hanamichi understood Minato Namikaze's thoughts to some extent. After the Third Shinobi World War and the Nine-Tails' attack, Konoha appeared to be the victor in the war, but in reality, Konoha was riddled with holes.

Minato quickly changed the subject, asking, "Ado, are you confident about fighting Killer Bee tomorrow?"

Uchiha Shisui's defeat was a significant disappointment for the people of Konoha. However, Namikaze Minato had anticipated this. Although many people were not optimistic about Wolf Fang, as Wolf Fang's recommender, he still had considerable confidence in Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Whirlpool Flower Path replied calmly, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to take it down."

Regarding the battle against Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Hanamichi was quite confident. Although Killer Bee had shown considerable strength in the arena today, he was still capable of suppressing him with his own power.

Minato Namikaze nodded: "If you can defeat Killer Bee, it should have a significant deterrent effect on both Kumogakure and Kirigakure. So your battle with Killer Bee tomorrow is very important for Konoha. I'm counting on you, Ado."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Don't worry, I'll do my best."

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Hokage's office.

After leaving the Hokage's office, he first went to the Anbu building to confirm the relevant work matters of the Anbu First Squad.

As evening approached, Uzumaki Hanamichi finally left the Dark Division.

In no time, he arrived at the fourth generation's house and had already reverted to his original form.

The late-night diner is closed tonight, so he plans to have dinner with his sister Kushina. Besides, Tamako followed Kushina directly here after leaving the arena.

Of course, he followed along, but it was just a shadow clone.

Tamako and Kushina Uzumaki have already begun preparing dinner.

Whirlpool Flower Path also quickly joined in.

After nearly an hour of effort, the table was laden with a sumptuous feast.

Minato Namikaze has also returned home.

Soon, Hakamichi, Tamako, and the four generations of the family happily ate dinner together.

The group ate and chatted at the same time.

Shortly after dinner, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Fourth Generation's house with Tamako.

The late-night diner is closed tonight, so the master and apprentice are relatively relaxed.

Uzumaki Hanamichi and Tamako didn't go straight home, but instead strolled around the village. Konoha was quite lively at night, especially the night market area.

The master and apprentice took a walk to digest their food after the meal.

However, as soon as the two entered the night market area, they encountered a familiar figure.

That figure was none other than Killer Bee, who had defeated Uchiha Shisui and displayed the power of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in today's Konoha Arena.

Killer Bee seemed to be in a great mood today. He was walking down the street, gesturing and humming a tune. However, when he saw the Whirlpool Flower Path, his movements suddenly stopped, and his face showed an expression of utter surprise and delight.

Uzumaki Hanamichi was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to run into Killer Bee at this night market. He and Killer Bee were quite good friends. He had met Killer Bee in the Land of Lightning during his three years of travels, and they quickly became close through their shared love of rap. However, at that time, he hadn't told Killer Bee that he was a villager from Konoha. He had already seen Killer Bee when the Cloud Village delegation entered Konoha, but he hadn't made a point of greeting him.

"Long time no see, Killer Bee!"

Whirlpool Flower Path smiled calmly and stepped forward to greet his rapper friend.

Killer Bee, slightly regaining his composure, immediately raised his fist: "Yo, Hanamichi brother, it really is you!"

Uzumaki Hanamichi also extended his fist and lightly touched Killer Bee's fist: "Yes, it's been a long time since we checked it out together."

Kirabi exclaimed, "Yeah, check it out!"

Tamako, who was standing next to Uzumaki Hanamichi, was very surprised. She did not expect that her master was a friend of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure. She had witnessed Killer Bee's strength in the arena today.

After a unique and warm exchange, Uzumaki Hanamichi revealed his identity as a Konoha gourmet to Killer Bee. At this point, there was no need to hide his identity as a Konoha villager.

In addition, he also introduced Tamako to Kirabi.

Killer Bee was pleasantly surprised. He didn't care about Uzumaki Hanamichi's identity as a Konoha villager; what he cared about was his rap buddy with whom he could have a good time.

"Want to grab a drink, Killer Bee?"

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi extended an invitation to Killer Bee, which could be considered as fulfilling his duty as a host.

Killer Bee immediately nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Afterwards, Hanamichi Uzumaki, Killer Bee, and Tamako headed towards a tavern not far away.
