Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 116 I've reached the age where it's time to "eat cabbages" (a euphemism for

"You two, stop revealing all the stupid things you've done!"

Hearing this conversation, not only Sakumo Hatake, but Minato's lips almost twitched wildly.

He had heard about Kushina's antics, but he didn't really know what exactly she did.

But now, after hearing what Kushina and Chiga did, I suddenly feel that it's really not easy for Kushina to have survived and grown up in Konoha.

"It seems I still have a lot to discuss with you two!"

Although Sakumo Hatake was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, it probably wasn't in good condition.

He felt that he had not done his job well enough.

The Third Hokage clearly instructed him to keep an eye on Chika and Kushina and prevent them from causing trouble, but there are still so many other things going on that he didn't know about!

It's truly a case of the devil being one step ahead of the saint!

"Ha ha!"

Kushina then realized that very few people actually knew what she had said, and immediately laughed it off: "Um, we just made this up for fun, Sakumo-nii-san, please don't believe it!"

"Whether it's made up or not, I'll ask the people involved. If it's true, you two won't escape six months of confinement!"

"Hey?! Bro, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Kushina was unhappy and took a few steps forward, wanting to argue with Sakumo Hatake.

"Senior Sakumo, these two are my newly accepted disciples, and they will be Kakashi's teammates in the future."

At this moment, Minato came to the rescue, pulling Obito and Rin Nohara forward and introducing them to Sakumo Hatake.

After this interruption, Sakumo Hatake didn't pursue what Chiga and Kushina had done. He just smiled at Obito and Rin Nohara and said, "Hello, I'm Sakumo Hatake. I'll be counting on you to take good care of Kakashi from now on."

"Uncle Sakumo, I am Obito Uchiha. Please rest assured that Kakashi is in my care. I will definitely protect him on the battlefield!"

Obito stepped forward, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and said with great enthusiasm.

Sakumo Hatake smiled but didn't say anything. He could tell that although this boy was good at boasting, he still had some talent.

But when it was Nohara Rin's turn to introduce herself, things were a little different.

"Uncle Sakumo, I'm Rin Nohara, I'm 8 years old, and I live in Konoha Village. I'm an only child, and my parents run a jewelry shop. I want to become a medical ninja like Lady Tsunade so that I can take care of Kakashi if he gets injured. Also..."

As Nohara Rin introduced herself, she stole a couple of glances at Kakashi.

"."

The more Chiga listened to this introduction, the more something seemed off.

Kushina crouched down, nudged Chiga, and whispered in her ear, "Sigh, this girl seems to be set on Kakashi. Didn't you ever manage to fool such a devoted girl before?"

Chiga scoffed, "I have plenty, but I just didn't find any I liked!"

"Hey~ I've known you for two years, and I've never seen you be affectionate with any little girl. I bet you've never even held a little girl's hand, have you?"

Kushina scoffed, thinking to herself, "This pig of mine doesn't seem to know how to pluck the cabbage yet!"

Compared to the embarrassed Sakumo Hatake, Obito was in a much more desperate situation.

Oh no, the goddess has already met Kakashi's parents, but I haven't made any progress at all.

Chiga stepped forward and patted Obito on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't overthink it. To be honest, I'm practically your second-in-command. Compared to Uncle Sakumo who hasn't given his opinion, I've already agreed to you two being together. Of course, whether you can win him over is up to you. So, Obito, you're making progress faster than Kakashi!"

"Get away from me!"

Seeing Chika constantly taking advantage of him, Obito burst into tears.

"Good, good! Kakashi, I'm so glad to have two teammates like you!"

Faced with Nohara Rin, who was determined to squeeze into his house, Hatake Sakumo seemed unsure of what to say and could only urge Kushina and Chiga on.

"Well, you two, come with me now. The Third Hokage is waiting!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina and Chiga bid farewell to Minato's team and followed behind Sakumo Hatake.

Soon, the three arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Third Hokage, Kushina Uzumaki and Chika Uchiha have been brought here. I'll be leaving now!"

After taking his leave, Hatake Sakumo closed the door to the Hokage's office.

"Old man, why did you call us over here? We haven't caused any trouble lately!"

Kushina, seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was staring at a report in his hand, said impatiently.

Chiga confidently declared, "Yes, Third Hokage, I can guarantee that Kushina-sensei and I have been behaving very well lately!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced up at the two of them, his face full of disbelief.

However, he didn't call the two over to punish them, so after putting down the report in his hand, he tried to give them a kind smile.

"Alright, I haven't received any complaints about the two of you in a long time. I didn't call you here because you caused any trouble."

"No, old man, you're better off puffing out your beard and glaring at me. Your laugh like that scares me!"

When Kushina saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, she knew that this was a serious matter.

Since it wasn't to punish them, it must mean they wanted something from them, which would be even more troublesome.

Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes at the two of them and continued, "I called you here to tell you that the new batch of genin has graduated, and there's still one group that hasn't found a suitable instructor."

"If you didn't find it, you didn't find it. I'm not planning on training any new people, so don't try to force any new ones on me!"

Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately waved her hand, indicating that she would rather die than accept a newcomer.

"Who said I asked you to bring it?"

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi scoffed at this and then looked at Chiga.

Chiga was stunned by the meaningful look in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

However, he asked uncertainly, "Third Hokage, you don't mean you want me to take you with you, do you?"

"what?"

Kushina was stunned.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, the two knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was serious.

Chiga said, "Hokage-sama, isn't it inappropriate for someone my age to be a mentor?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. You were able to consider the safety of your teammates during the Chunin Exams, which already makes you a qualified captain, not to mention your strength."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Moreover, as you all know, Konoha is currently short-handed. We don't have enough Jonin, so we have to make do with Chunin."

Chiga and Kushina stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi with dead fish eyes.

Keep making things up.

This is a lie.

It was clear that they didn't want to see the two of them causing trouble in Konoha anymore, which is why they tried every means to separate them.

That's a really bad excuse.
