Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 74 Kushina is preparing to cause trouble

"Hey kid, when I asked you about the rumors before, did you just brush me off?"

Fugaku Uchiha scrutinized Chika, his gaze lingering on her as if trying to discern something from her.

"What can I hide from the clan chief?"

Chiga gave an awkward laugh, and seeing Fugaku Uchiha's disbelief, he explained, "The Third Hokage told us to try our best not to spread this."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha examined the katana in his hand more closely, and then said, "So, the one fighting you is Kushimaru Kurihara, the user of the longsword 'Sewing Needle'?"

How did you know?

Chiga glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with surprise.

"snort!"

Seeing the doubt in Chiga's eyes, Fugaku Uchiha gave a slightly smug snort and said, "Besides the knife marks, most of the marks on your knife are thin, long scratches, which ordinary knives cannot do. The Exploding Blade: Droplets is full of explosive tags, so it would not have such marks. Only the Long Blade: Needle could create such an effect."

Upon hearing this, Chiga fell silent.

He didn't really want to say it, because saying it out loud felt like he was trying too hard to show off, but Uchiha Fugaku seemed determined to get to the bottom of it.

While Chiga was struggling with her decision, Fugaku Uchiha had already begun to make reasonable guesses.

"So I'm guessing you held off Kushimaru Kurihara, giving Minato time to deal with Jinpachi Murashi, and then Minato came to your aid?"

"That's about right!" Chiga continued, offering a perfunctory reply.

"What do you mean by 'almost'? It's either yes or no," Fugaku Uchiha said, dissatisfied.

"That was the plan that Minato-senpai and I originally made, but in the middle of the fight, I ended up killing Kushimaru Kurihara."

"."

Fugaku Uchiha fell silent. What did he mean by killing Kushimaru Kurihara while they were fighting?

What do you think Kurihara Kushimaru is, some wild boar by the roadside?

He was an elite Jonin, yet he died at your hands.

Even Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat shocked by this.

"Did you really kill Kushimaru Kurihara all by yourself?" Fugaku Uchiha asked incredulously.

"Mm." Chiga nodded.

"You're very good!"

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha didn't know how to praise Chiga anymore. He had thought that Chiga was already a genius for awakening the Sharingan at the age of seven.

But I never expected its growth rate to be so astonishing.

At the same time, he paid more and more attention to what Chiga had said.

The world of Naruto is, in the end, a world where strength reigns supreme.

Chiga already possessed the ability to single-handedly defeat an elite Jonin, and even believed that Minato was qualified to compete for the title of Fourth Hokage.

In that case, Fugaku Uchiha really needs to reassess his friend.

"Chief, you mustn't tell anyone about this, or I'll never have a peaceful day again."

Chiga gave Uchiha Fugaku a message.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

Meanwhile, at Kushina's home.

While Chiga and Fugaku Uchiha were discussing Minato.

Minato and Kushina are enjoying a tender moment together.

The two sat on the sofa in the living room, and Kushina rarely showed her delicate side, leaning against Minato.

Minato placed his hand on Kushina's shoulder, a happy smile on his face.

His hand drooped slightly, touching Kushina's front body intermittently.

I find joy in everything.

Kushina frowned, looking impatient, and said, "If you're going to do it, then do it quickly! Stop hesitating! Do you think I'm too young?"

"No, there isn't one like that. Kushina, yours is perfect!"

Minato gave an awkward laugh, not wanting to admit that he had a particular fondness for this kind of thing.

"What, mine is just right? You've tried other women?"

Kushina's anger erupted in an instant, "Fine, Minato, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I think you're planning to move into the memorial stone ahead of schedule!"

"Kushina, don't get agitated, I just misspoke."

Minato apologized repeatedly, and after much effort and signing numerous contracts of servitude, he finally comforted Kushina and they continued their previous game.

"By the way, Minato, since the Third Hokage gave you an S-rank mission and paid the reward, what did you exchange for the corresponding battle merits?"

"It's the Second Hokage's ninjutsu development notes. I want to learn from it and see if I can develop a ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals. If I combine it with my Flying Thunder God Technique, it will have unexpected effects on the battlefield."

Kushina nodded upon hearing this, then asked, "What about Chiga?"

Minato asked, puzzled, "Didn't he tell you?"

"That kid and I were having a good chat, but then Tsunade came asking me for money. After she left, he suddenly ran away and hasn't come to see me for the past few days!"

Kushina said with great dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Minato said, "I see. Chiga originally wanted to exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique, but the merits from one S-rank mission weren't enough, so he saved it for now."

"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, you obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique through the merits of an S-rank mission. Why can't my disciple do it?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina said in confusion, "It was within my expectations that Chiga would exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it was unexpected that he didn't get it."

Mentioning this, Minato also looked puzzled and said, "I also found it strange at the time, but I couldn't say anything in front of the Third Hokage."

After hearing Minato's words, Kushina became even angrier.

"That despicable third-generation old man! He's treating people differently! Why can't my disciple get one too?"

She suddenly stood up, ready to confront Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing this, Minato immediately stopped Kushina and explained, "After thinking about it, I realized that Jiraiya-sensei probably spoke up for me after learning that I wanted to exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique. That's why the Third Hokage gave me the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina calmed down a bit. "Speaking of which, that lecherous Jiraiya was indeed quite good to you."

"Of course, Jiraiya-sensei is actually a very nice person. Kushina, you shouldn't always call him a pervert! You can call him Jiraiya-senpai too!"

"Hmph, I'm not trying to be mean, but that lecherous Jiraiya is already quite old, yet he spends all his time out there looking for sex and doing nothing productive. He's either spying or on his way to spy, and he even calls it 'sources for his novels.' Do you think he's worthy of being called 'senpai'?"

Faced with the powerful Kushina, Minato simply gave up his idea.

After all, what Kushina said was true, and he couldn't refute it.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Since Jiraiya went to such lengths for you, shouldn't I do something for Chiga in return?"

Kushina returned to the main topic.

This photo was actually approved. I searched for ages and still couldn't figure out what the problem was. I spent two hours editing it late at night, and I was practically spitting blood!
