"Mmm-hmm." Kurenai nodded in agreement, saying, "But that kind of bland food just doesn't whet my appetite at all!"
"In that case, won't you come out to eat?" Shizune asked, turning her head with a hint of sympathy for the siblings' plight.
“We want to too…” Wuyue sighed.
"But we have no money." Kurenai Yuhi revealed the helplessness in their hearts.
In this world of ninjas, strength reigns supreme. But money is also an indispensable element.
Before they were officially recognized ninjas, Mugetsu and Kurenai had no source of income. Their annual New Year's money was withheld by their mother, who claimed it was for their wedding expenses. Therefore, the two siblings never had any spare money.
Only when Yuhi Makoto has saved up a certain amount of private money will she secretly take her son and daughter out for a meal.
“You guys are living a really frugal life.” Tsunade shook her head slightly and said, “Speaking of which, your father seems to be similar. I rarely see him eating out out and paying for it himself. Kana was the housekeeper type, I never would have guessed.”
Kana is the name of Muzuki and Kurenai's mother. It's said that she was an excellent ninja before marriage. However, after marriage, she completely devoted herself to being a wife and mother.
"It's not just the housekeeper... she's even planned out our future," Kurenai muttered softly.
Her mother had been pushing hard to change her relationship with Mugetsu from siblings to husband and wife. She even said things like "good things shouldn't go to outsiders," something Yuhi Kurenai didn't quite understand.
She just felt something was off, and sometimes she didn't know how to face Wuyue.
Just as the group was chatting, the door of the barbecue restaurant creaked open again.
A boastful voice immediately rang out: "Hey, Kakashi! Do you believe I can eat ten pounds of barbecue today?! Hmph, that's better than you, isn't it!"
“Idiot,” another seemingly aloof voice replied.
As the words fell, three men and one woman entered the store. Wuyue glanced at them and immediately recognized them. They were Team 7 of this year's class: Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, and their leader, Jonin Namikaze Minato.
"Alright, Obito. You're disturbing the other guests. Find a seat first," Rin Nohara said softly.
"Oh, I see." Obito scratched his head. Although he was quite indignant about Kakashi calling him an idiot, he still listened to his goddess without question.
"Huh? Lady Tsunade?" Minato Namikaze, who was following behind his student, noticed Mugetsu's table and walked over with a smile. "It's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been a long time." Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "Shall we sit down and have a drink?"
"Please spare me, you know I don't like drinking."
"You're afraid that Kushina will smell it and cause you trouble, right?"
"Lady Tsunade is too kind." Minato skillfully changed the subject, turning his gaze to Mugetsu and the others. "Are they your students? I was quite surprised when my teacher told me the other day that you were personally leading the team."
"What, do you think I'm too old? Not as good as you young people?" Tsunade said with a half-smile.
Even in the face of Tsunade's veiled barbs, Minato maintained a gentle smile and said softly, "Of course not, I'm just a little surprised. This gentleman is Mugetsu-kun?"
"Uh, do you know me?" Wuyue blinked and asked.
"My teacher mentioned you, saying you are the most talented ninja of the younger generation," Minato said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Obito, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi all turned their gazes to Mugetsu, their faces showing surprise, astonishment, and doubt.
What the hell? !
Wuyue was completely bewildered. He had never met Jiraiya before, so why would the other party say something like that out of the blue? Then, he turned his gaze to Tsunade, and considering what this beautiful teacher knew about him, he felt that there was some unspeakable secret involved.
Tsunade showed no intention of explaining, lightly tapping the table with her fingers and saying calmly, "I can tell you're a little unconvinced by what I've said?"
Chapter 0038 The Shocking Water Gate
"Lady Tsunade..." Minato said with a helpless smile, "Where did you get the idea that I'm dissatisfied?"
He was a respectful and devoted student, not a rebellious one. Therefore, he held his teacher's words in high regard. At most, he only harbored a slight curiosity about Wuyue.
"Well, it's normal for you to be unconvinced before you've seen it for yourself." Tsunade seemed oblivious to the miserable expression on his face and continued, "Alright then, let my student show you a thing or two... Mugetsu!"
Uh.
Wu Yue didn't know what expression to make. Her beautiful teacher was really capricious! She was just saying it casually, there was nothing wrong with it! Why did she have to forcefully slap her in the face? Wasn't that a bit unfair?!
Moreover, what does "showing off your skills" even mean? Do you think you're some kind of street performer?
Thinking this to herself, Wuyue sighed with a headache and said, "Teacher, what do you want me to reveal?"
"That sounds a bit odd," Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Use your Lightning Release, that Chidori thing. Show it to him!"
A bird, a bird showing itself to him?!
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, then said with a face full of black lines, "Teacher, I think what you said is weird."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and said coldly.
"Fine, alright." Forced by circumstances, Wuyue had no choice but to yield to the evil forces. His hands moved with lightning speed, forming hand seals. Immediately, the chirping of birds filled the air, and a ball of azure lightning gathered in his palm.
"This technique..." Minato Namikaze paused, surprised, "It gathers lightning chakra in the hand and thrusts it out to generate a burst of power in an instant? Did you create this yourself?"
"I guess so." Facing Kakashi Hatake not far away, Mugetsu still felt a little guilty.
Little did he know that Kakashi was already beyond shocked!
Just now, when his teacher said that Mugetsu was the most talented ninja of the younger generation, he was somewhat skeptical. But the moment he saw this technique, he knew... he was probably no match for him.
At least for now, he doesn't have the ability to create ninjutsu. Not to mention, if the ball of lightning-attribute chakra in the boy's hand were to erupt, its destructive power would probably already reach the A-rank level.
"Impressive!" Minato Namikaze gave a fair assessment. "Mugetsu-kun's talent is indeed frightening; no wonder the teacher praised him so highly. However, this technique would be even more perfect if it didn't require hand seals."
Wu Yue knew why he said that.
During this period, Minato Namikaze was researching the development and practical application of hand seal ninjutsu. Soon after, he would find inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball and fully develop the "Rasengan."
Oh, right, Rasengan!
Muyue seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Senior Minato seems to be very interested in hand seal ninjutsu?"
"You found out, huh?" Minato scratched his head and laughed nonchalantly. "My fighting style is a bit special. If I could develop a hand seal-less ninjutsu, it would be a huge boost to my combat power."
"I see." Wuyue said casually, "Actually, I had thought about using a ninjutsu like Chidori without hand seals. But lightning chakra is too violent and cannot be compressed at a high density."
"High-density compression..."
Minato, as expected of one of the top geniuses in the Naruto world, immediately extended Mugetsu's idea and suggested, "What if, what if we first condense and compress non-attribute chakra, and then add nature transformation?"
"I'll give it a try." Wuyue seemed to suddenly wake up, and without regard for others, she stretched out her palm and began to gather chakra.
At this moment, everyone forgot the purpose of their meal, and their eyes were all fixed on Wuyue's right hand. Streams of chakra, flowing in different directions, gathered in his palm and then suddenly transformed into a chakra sphere.
"It...it worked?!" Minato's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
The problem he had painstakingly studied for years was solved by the boy in front of him with just one sentence, which was truly beyond his imagination.
"It seems to be working." Wuyue scratched his head and chuckled dryly. "However, I can't inject chakra nature transformation into it yet."
“No, you’re already amazing.” Minato took a deep breath to calm himself down. “At your age, I wasn’t even one percent as good as you.”
Mugetsu blushed slightly at the praise and said, "Senior Minato, you flatter me."
This thing wasn't originally his thought or philosophy. It was just borrowing from Minato's experience after he created the Rasengan at some point in the future. Now that the person in question is praising him, he's not so shameless as to accept it.
Minato shook his head and said, "I have to thank you. If it weren't for your insightful words, it would probably have taken even longer to complete this technique. I have a scroll here that records several sealing techniques, consider it a gift of thanks." As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it directly to the other party.
Wuyue didn't react for a moment, then said, "No, there's no need to be so polite."
"I need to go back first. Kakashi, Obito, Rin, you guys eat here for now, I'll come find you later." After saying this to the students, Minato hurriedly left the restaurant.
"He's probably planning to tell Kushina the good news, what a good boy." Tsunade's tone was not without sarcasm.
"Wait, Minato-senpai..." Mugetsu chased after him out of the barbecue restaurant and called out from behind.
"What's wrong, Mugetsu-kun?" Minato stopped and turned around, puzzled. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
“This…” Wuyue held the sealing scroll, preparing to hand it back to the other party.
Just then, a notification sound suddenly rang in her mind, almost causing Wuyue to faint.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, calmly inform Minato Namikaze that Kushina Uzumaki is actually your RB. Ask him if he's surprised and happy.
Second, he quietly reminded Minato Namikaze that Kakashi Hatake's true identity was a perverted gay man, and told him to be careful when taking a bath with him.
Thirdly, out of curiosity, I asked Minato Namikaze if Kurama (the Nine-Tails) cheered him on whenever he had sex with Kushina Uzumaki!
Chapter 0039 Kakashi's Inquiry
It's fucking toxic!
At this moment, Wuyue's face turned green.
All three options are extremely toxic! Especially the first and third ones. If you actually said them out loud... even the good-natured Minato Namikaze would probably beat himself to death in the street.
Even if we take a step back and assume Minato might not actually do it, if this got back to his wife, Mugetsu would probably be torn to pieces! That fiery temper of hers is no less intense than his beautiful teacher's!
In that case, we can only settle for a 50/50 split.
It seems the best approach is to pick on the weak. Isn't bullying the weak and fearing the strong just human nature?
Thinking this to comfort herself, Wuyue took a deep breath and said, "Minato-senpai, actually... actually Kakashi, he's a perverted gay man. Be careful when you take a bath with him!"
"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection and receiving the advanced talent reward of Sealing Technique."
Minato's smile froze on his face, and he said incredulously, "Mugetsu-kun, you're joking, right?"
"You, you should just take this as a joke!" Wu Yue no longer dared to look the other person in the eye, hurriedly said this, and turned to leave.
However, his behavior only made Minato more suspicious.
My prized student is really gay? No, that can't be!
However, Mugetsu-kun probably wasn't acting without reason. And thinking about it carefully, Kakashi really doesn't seem interested in girls. Rin has hinted at it so many times, yet he seems completely unmoved—that's quite intriguing!
As he turned to leave again, Minato's steps were noticeably heavier. He felt he needed to confront this problem.
Mugetsu had no idea the turmoil his words had caused in Minato Namikaze's heart. Of course, even if he had known, he would have been powerless to undo it. Once something like this was said, the more he explained, the more misunderstandings would arise.
Back at the barbecue restaurant, Wuyue sat back down in her seat, looking dejected.
He felt his actions just now were truly appalling; he had dared to slander others so casually. This was not something an upright man should do! Even if he was forced by the system, wrong is wrong.
Across from him, Tsunade seemed to have noticed his emotions and couldn't help but ask, "You chased after him just now, were you trying to return the scroll to Minato?"
"Yes." Wuyue nodded. Although things eventually took a completely different turn.
"He didn't want it, did he?" Tsunade picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Since he gave it to you, just accept it. There's no need to be so polite with him."
In Tsunade's mind, Mugetsu and Minato were both from the same lineage of the Third Hokage, and as fellow disciples, there was no need for formalities. However, she didn't know that Mugetsu's thoughts weren't about the scroll at all. The thought of unjustly harming a good young man made Mugetsu uneasy.
