Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 239 Minato Namikaze: The Hokage truly lives up to his reputation as an expert in relationships!

To explain why things developed to this point...

Minato Namikaze was also completely bewildered.

He and Kushina Uzumaki are now close to the age where they should be discussing marriage.

The reason they haven't officially registered their marriage yet is simply because they're not clear about their future plans.

This actually demonstrates that the young couple has a clear understanding of their own lives.

Families with such clear planning have a clear and definite goal after marriage, and such families rarely make a mess of their lives.

Originally, neither Kushina nor Minato Namikaze were in a hurry.

The two have been together since childhood and now live together, so they basically have a clear understanding of each other.

Although Kushina Uzumaki was technically a princess of the Uzumaki clan, she didn't have much affection for the clan after what happened with Setsuna Uchiha.

A family member who is worse than an ordinary classmate in a life-or-death situation, and who constantly slanders everything about Konoha, is someone you'd be better off without.

Although their progress was slow after that, it was gradually moving forward.

Therefore, although they are only 18 years old and very young, they are already gradually getting the feel of an old married couple.

However, even long-married couples don't necessarily not get angry.

The story begins when the two were preparing to go out for dinner.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina were about to go out for a bite to eat when Minato was stopped by Shizuka Nadeshiko as soon as they got downstairs.

Kushina Uzumaki was naturally very curious as to why Shizuka Nadeshiko would stop Minato Namikaze.

Then I heard Jiraiya's past from Shizuka Nadeshiko.

Kushina Uzumaki was furious. As soon as Shizuka Nadeshiko arrived, she asked Minato Namikaze if he and Jiraiya were teacher and student.

Well, to put it simply, Minato Namikaze, that blond-haired kid, has such a good personality that, strictly speaking, Jiraiya didn't spend a single day seriously teaching him!

Even Minato Namikaze said that it counts, and that he also greatly respects Jiraiya.

He was just saying that casually; in reality, who in Konoha didn't know that Jiraiya was a major menace?!

However, Shizuka Nadeshiko took it seriously.

He excitedly recounted the promise between Jiraiya and Hisako.

Of course, if that were all, Kushina Uzumaki wouldn't have lost her mind in anger.

The crux of the matter lies in what Shizuka Nadeshiko said later: "Himiko-sensei has other students in our Nadeshiko Village, and they will all come to Konoha Village to find her husband..."

Kushina Uzumaki was furious!

In fact, a little thought will tell you that this is impossible.

It's impossible that the decision made by Nadeshiko Himiko was made by the girl herself.

After all, the agreement between her and Jiraiya was only for one person.

And it is quite obvious that this bug-like behavior was undoubtedly the work of the village chief of Fudoko Village.

Although the methods were somewhat underhanded, the village chief had gone to great lengths to ensure that the girls from Nadeshiko Village would marry into Konoha.

Of course, there's nothing to be ashamed of. After all, not to mention Fushiko Village, there are many villages that want to marry into Konoha, and Fushiko Village is not the only one.

In short, this was actually the trigger.

Kushina Uzumaki was furious at the thought of all sorts of women trying to steal her man, and immediately wanted to drag Minato Namikaze to get their marriage certificate.

Well, in many cases, men are indeed more rational, while women are more emotional.

Making this request at this time clearly indicates that Kushina Uzumaki felt unsafe.

In other words, she was afraid that Minato Namikaze would be taken away.

So she made the decision to ask Minato Namikaze to get their marriage certificate with her immediately.

Minato Namikaze, that blond-haired kid, has always been a rational thinker and make rational judgments.

So he said there was no need to rush, as they hadn't even finalized their plans for the future yet.

Then Kushina Uzumaki got into an argument with the other person, and in a fit of impulse, she naturally raised her hand and slapped him.

Then Kushina Uzumaki ran away crying.

……

After hearing what had happened, You Ya was speechless.

Turning to look at Nara Shikaya, Nara Shikaya was incredibly grateful for the mountain of official business in front of him.

If it weren't for these things, he would definitely have been dragged out by Yuya to deal with Minato Namikaze's matter.

Are you kidding me! Do I look like the kind of person who could handle this kind of thing?!

It's true that the Nara clan has always been known for its high intelligence.

But women are such creatures...

Nara Shika doesn't know what others are like, but he certainly won't get involved with them.

Yua remained silent for a long time, looking at Minato Namikaze who was still expectantly waiting for his answer. After pondering for a while, Yua rested his chin on his hands, put on a serious expression, and asked, "So... what do you think?"

Minato Namikaze was taken aback. He had come to Yua hoping that the Hokage could give him some guidance.

After all, everyone knows that Yua and Tsunade are a perfect match in Konoha, and they have a happy and fulfilling family life...

Okay, putting all that aside, let's talk about Konoha Village right now. Basically, when everyone encounters a problem they can't solve, their first reaction is to go to the Hokage.

If you can't find it, contact the subdistrict office. After all, who established the subdistrict office?

Hokage-sama!

Going to the neighborhood committee is like going to the Hokage!

The main problem with this equation is that it's absurd.

However, there's no other way. Under normal circumstances, ordinary Konoha villagers would have to go through the front desk downstairs, submit a report, and obtain Yua's consent before they could see Yua.

Minato Namikaze is also the Yua we see in this process.

You Ya is now filled with regret, deep regret!

Why would I agree to meet him just to hear some gossip about this blond-haired Minato Namikaze?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?!

He, You Ya, is no relationship guru!

If you really want advice, Yu Ya said, "I know you two are getting married in the future and have a son, so why don't you two get together?"

Isn't this absolutely bullshit?!

So Youya prepared to use what one of his masters from his previous life had taught him.

Nonsense literature!

"Me?" Minato Namikaze, the blond-haired boy, fell into deep thought. Yua's heart was pounding. "Say something!"

How can I keep fooling you if you don't say anything...?

Ugh, are you saying I should continue spouting nonsense?!

After careful consideration, Minato Namikaze said to Yua, "I do like Kushina very much, but her behavior today made me feel that she was a bit irrational... so I don't know if being with her is the right choice."

You Ya nodded, "Okay, okay, that's good that you answered."

So, You Ya continued with a serious expression, "Then why do you think she would do that?"

Minato Namikaze frowned, then continued to ponder.

The long silence made even Nara Shika, who was listening intently to the gossip, a little anxious.

However, when he looked up at Yuya, Yuya's gaze was directed at him as if he were facing Leifa.

So Nara Shika immediately lowered his head and continued to handle his official duties.

No way, if he even utters a single word, that bastard Yua will definitely dump the whole Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki thing on him.

He doesn't want to deal with this kind of thing; it's troublesome and doesn't bring any benefits. It's a thankless task.

Who knows, maybe when the young couple makes up or breaks up completely, they'll blame you for it.

Minato Namikaze thought for a long time, and looking into Yua's deep gaze, he seemed to understand something: "Hokage-sama, are you saying that Kushina did this not because she was irrational..."

It's not because she felt a sense of crisis!

Youya pondered for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "So that's what you think? In that case, what are you planning to do?"

Minato Namikaze pursed his lips and explained to Yua, "It's not that I don't want to be with her, it's just that, in my opinion, there are priorities, and some things are more important than marriage."

For example, I am still a Chunin. Although I am confident that I can pass the Jonin Exams and obtain a Jonin rank, I don't know what I should do after becoming a Jonin.

My idea is to discuss it with Kushina, and then we can choose a firm direction to follow. That way, we can be more stable, and once we're stable, I'll propose to her.

Yuya nodded: "So that's what you think... What about her? Do you know what Kushina thinks?"

Minato Namikaze stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment before looking up and saying, "I understand what you mean. Because of what happened with Jiraiya... Kushina feels insecure..."

I understand where the problem lay. Thank you so much for your guidance; I've learned a lot.

With that, Minato Namikaze bowed to Yua.

The Nara deer standing nearby were also dumbfounded.

No, did Yuya say anything?!

How did I get guidance?! How did I gain so much?!

Didn't he just ask a few pointless questions?!

What on earth were you thinking?!

However, when faced with Yua's gaze, which was like a searchlight, Nara Shika quickly lowered his head.

Forget it, I've already had my fill of the gossip, so I'd better not be the one to stick my neck out.

You Ya nodded solemnly: "Then go. Remember, follow your heart."

Minato Namikaze nodded solemnly and left the office.

After Minato Namikaze, the blond-haired boy, left, Yu Ya breathed a sigh of relief and lay back in his chair, then became somewhat puzzled.

Did I say anything?

Why does it seem like he's grasped the truth?

Wasn't everything I said just nonsense?

After thinking for a moment, Yuya looked at Nara Shikaya: "Shikaya, what do you think of the topics I just mentioned?"

The Nara deer immediately started fawning over him.

Yuya's lips twitched as he listened to all the compliments.

Never mind, I shouldn't have asked.

In fact, Nara Shika's praise was genuine.

after all……

He learned something today, okay?

If he encounters the same situation in the future, he can handle it using the same method he's using now.

……

After finishing his get off work and returning home, You Ya has practically no other work to do lately, having successfully completed the crucial project of selecting a university site.

He will only get busy again once the university successfully opens for the semester.

For now, let him take a break.

When he got home, he saw You Lu lying on the sofa in the house, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and barefoot. You Ya rubbed his forehead.

This girl is becoming more and more carefree as she gets older.

"Have the exam results come out yet?" You Ya asked You Lu casually.

While stuffing potato chips into her mouth, You Lu said, "It's out, Dad. Do you want to see? It's in my room."

"No need, just tell me your score."

When You Ya casually mentioned it, You Lu grinned and said to him, "You got a 92 in math! Dad, you must be happy with that score, right?"

You Ya was slightly taken aback, then turned to You Lu and said very seriously, "Dad is happy not because you got a high score, but because you are happy to get a high score, that's why Dad is happy."

If you're unhappy, how can your old man be happy?

You Lu clicked her tongue: "Dad, now I finally know how you tricked my mom into marrying you."

None of the boys in the class are as sweet-talking as you.

You Ya was taken aback, then her expression suddenly turned serious: "What do you mean?! Are there any boys in your class who are being flirtatious with you?!"

You Lu looked at You Ya speechlessly: "Dad, you know you're glib, don't you?"

You Ya persisted, "Never mind that, has any boy in your class confessed to you?!"

At this moment, You Ya's eyes were filled with murderous intent, just waiting for You Lu to say that damned guy's name.

You Lu looked at You Ya with a completely bewildered expression. It seemed she had triggered some incredible switch!

You Lu chuckled awkwardly, "Well, I was planning to visit my grandparents today..."

You Ya said coldly with a murderous look on his face, "You're not allowed to go anywhere until you explain yourself clearly today."

You Lu was trembling when she heard the sound of a key turning in the lock.

You Lu turned her head and looked over, as if she had seen a savior.

It was Tsunade, who had returned after opening the door.

So she quickly ran to Tsunade and hid behind her: "Mom, Dad won't let me go to Grandpa's house..."

Tsunade rubbed Yuya's head, then looked up at Yuya.

It was only then that Yuya realized that Tsunade had gone to the hair salon today, let down her ponytail, and had her blonde hair permed into a slightly wavy style.

With that foul-level physique, Yuya was stunned for a moment.

Tsunade blushed slightly. Although they had been married for a long time, this was the first time she had ever done something like getting her hair done specifically to please him, and even changing into a tight purple mini dress.

"If Yuu wants to go, just let her go," Tsunade said, waving her hand to let Yuu take the opportunity to leave the house.

Yuya realized that although Tsunade was very beautiful and alluring today, he would not back down when it came to his principles!

So he said directly, "No! Children this age shouldn't focus their attention on anything other than studying!"

Not to mention, she was actually flirting with other boys!

You Lu immediately shouted angrily, "Where did I flirt with other boys?! Dad, what on earth are you imagining?!"

Helpless, Tsunade finally adopted a shrewish demeanor to make Yuya leave, which calmed Yuya down.

"It really is... The child is in Konoha Village. If you really want to know about the child, why don't you just ask the Anbu?"

"I...I specifically got this hairstyle done today..."

You Ya thought about it and agreed.

The matter of You Lu's child is another matter.

The important thing is to spend some time alone with Tsunade first.

……

The following day, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki came together to thank Yua.

"If it weren't for Hokage-sama's guidance, I definitely wouldn't know how I feel. Thank you so much, Hokage-sama!"

Yuya silently looked at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki holding hands, and at the diamond ring on Kushina's right ring finger.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is really...

but……

What exactly did I do?

It was just a few pointless questions...

Forget it, at a time like this...

All you have to do is nod...
