Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 66 Visiting Kushina

"Alright then, aside from the initial intelligence gathering mission, which was a B-level mission, I'll consider this as you completing another S-level mission."

"Then thank you, Third Hokage!"

Minato, representing Chiga and Kakashi, bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi in gratitude.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand dismissively, then said magnanimously, "In return, you'll not only receive a generous bounty, but you can also exchange it for ninjutsu from the village. What do you want?"

Minato and Kakashi needed to go back and consider, but Chika didn't need to. She directly said, "Third Hokage, I want to exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Scroll of Seals!"

"." I was just being polite, why are you being so rude?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Minato and understood the reason behind Chiga's thoughts.

It must have been during this time that they witnessed Minato's amazing use of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Chiga to be so honest, immediately mentioning the Flying Thunder God Technique. He couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, "Chiga, the Flying Thunder God Technique is an S-rank ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals. One S-rank ninjutsu alone isn't enough, you know."

"Okay, then I don't need to exchange anything, I'll just keep it for now."

Chiga rolled her eyes at Hiruzen Sarutobi. She thought Hiruzen could use any kind of ninjutsu, but it turned out that it wasn't enough. Why was he so boastful?

"In that case, let's put the ninjutsu aside for now. Ask me anytime you've decided."

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only cough to cover his embarrassment, and then changed the subject, saying, "The fact that two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist died at your hands will probably spread throughout the entire ninja world."

He suddenly looked at Qianhe with a serious expression, and then said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, we should make a big fuss about the emergence of a genius like Qianhe."

"But at your age, if word gets out that you killed Kushimaru Kurihara, you will face endless assassination attempts."

"Therefore, regarding your killing of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, I will publicly state that Minato killed these two with your assistance."

"I hope you won't complain."

Upon hearing this, Chiga nodded, just as Kushina had concealed the fact that he had killed the Iwa ninja Jonin.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

Chiga nodded in understanding; he didn't want to be constantly targeted for assassination before he could grow up.

Minato: "..." It's like you're saying I'm immune to assassination attempts.

Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two checked the statements made to the outside world to ensure that there were no problems with the details.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "By the way, Chiga, it seems like it's been a long time since you've seen your teacher, hasn't it?"

Chiga nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, I'll make an exception and allow you to visit your teacher!"

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally wrote out an entry and exit permit and handed it to Chiga.

"Give this to the ANBU officer stationed outside Kushina's house. He'll let you in after he's looked at it!"

This entry and exit permit is exactly what Chiga needs right now.

It's been over a month since I last saw my master, Kushina. It's time to find some time to visit her.

Moreover, with his current chakra reserves, he can learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Coincidentally, this technique was one of Kushina's most proficient ninjutsu.

After carefully putting away his entry pass, Chiga thanked Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying, "Thank you, Third Hokage!"

Meanwhile, Minato, who was watching from the side, felt a little jealous.

He wants one too!

"Oh? Minato, do you want one too?"

Seemingly sensing Minato's thoughts, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, but he didn't intend to write it down. Instead, he looked at Minato with a half-smile.

Come to think of it, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that he had actually made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Minato, who is usually gentle and polite and never oversteps the rules, was able to secretly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to visit Kushina.

If he hadn't accidentally used his telescope to check if Kushina was staying at home obediently, he wouldn't have discovered it.

As for what he saw Minato and Kushina doing at Kushina's house, that's hard to say!

Spicy eyes!

Minato's heart skipped a beat, and he roughly guessed what was going on. He quickly and righteously refused, saying, "Third Hokage, there's no need. Since Kushina was put in confinement for making a mistake, it's already an act of kindness on the part of the Third Hokage for Chiga to visit her. It would be inappropriate for me to visit her as well!"

"I will tell Kushina-sensei exactly what she said!"

Chiga whispered to Minato.

[Negative emotions from Minato Namikaze, emotion value +80!]

"A barbecue!"

"make a deal!"

Seeing their little antics, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and then said, "Alright, you can go now. Leave the rest to the village. Get some rest when you get back; you've worked hard these past few days!"

"Third Hokage, we'll take our leave now."

The three parted ways after leaving the Hokage Building. They were all exhausted from the ordeal and had no energy to say anything more.

Chiga returned home and went straight to sleep.

After a day and a night, Chiga woke up, washed up a bit, and headed towards Kushina's house in the village.

Kushina's house is located on the outskirts of Konoha Village. It is a detached two-story house surrounded by trees and not many people live around it. The environment is elegant and can be considered a suburban villa.

Before Chiga could get close, she felt a probing chakra sweep over her. Chiga pretended not to notice and continued walking forward.

They soon arrived at Kushina's house.

Looking at the mascot at the door, Chika took out the certificate issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "I'm here to visit Kushina-sensei. This is a note approved by the Hokage, please take a look."

After a thorough inspection, the secret service found nothing wrong and allowed Chiga to go inside.

"Chiga!"

"Were you injured during the mission?"

"Did you sleep well?"

"Have you been eating properly?"

Kushina was overjoyed to see Chiga after not seeing him for so long. She opened the door and immediately started pinching and squeezing Chiga's cheeks.

This seems to be her way of expressing joy.

"Kushina-sensei, if you keep rubbing it, it'll get swollen!"

Chiga, who was well aware of Kushina's strength, quickly called out.

However, Chiga was also quite moved by Kushina's caring greeting.

"Okay, I got it. Come in with me now."

Seeing this, Kushina muttered, "I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

The two went inside, and Kushina then asked about the details of the mission.

Chiga didn't hide anything from Kushina and told her everything that had happened to her, except for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Kushina was also surprised after hearing this.
