Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Seeing this, the two looked at each other, took out the gifts they had prepared and handed them to Kagura.

Seeing the gift in front of her, Kagura was slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he received a gift from a disciple.

For some reason, he felt something strange when he looked at the gift in front of him.

After wiping his hands, he solemnly took the gifts from the two and looked at them carefully.

The gift from Rizu was a very exquisite ornament.

From the appearance, it looks like a lucky bamboo-shaped pen holder.

Its main body is a section of emerald green lucky bamboo, which has been carefully carved into a natural and elegant curved shape.

The sections of lucky bamboo are distinct, and each section delicately displays the grain and texture of the bamboo.

The bamboo leaves on the pen holder are lifelike, and the colors of the leaves are bright and realistic, adding a sense of agility and freshness to the entire pen holder.

This is not only a practical stationery, but also a fine work of art.

Even though Kagura wasn't an expert at this sort of thing, this gift looked very expensive.

It is indeed something that a traditional family like the Hyuga clan would give as a gift.

As for the gift from Minato.

They were several round objects stacked together, with a snow-white surface and a soft and elastic gelatinous texture.

Kagura was also stunned when she saw this thing, and said uncertainly:

"Is this... rice cake?"

Hearing what Teacher Kagura said, Minato blushed and nodded silently.

There was no way, he had just bought this gift at the last minute.

But on this New Year's Eve when it's almost dark, there are no shops open.

Finally, he had no choice but to buy a portion of rice cake, which is eaten by people all over the world during the Chinese New Year.

But compared with that kid Rizu, my gift is so weak...

Feeling Minato's embarrassment, Kagura also laughed softly.

He solemnly put away the gifts from the two, reached out and touched their heads silently, and said:

“Well, I like all your gifts.

Because I know that it contains your thoughts, and that is enough.

Okay, sit down first, and when Kushina arrives, we will start eating."

Hearing Kagura's words, the embarrassment on Minato's face slowly faded away, revealing a happy smile.

Following Kagura's instructions, the two took their seats and waited for Kushina to arrive.

But they didn't expect that they would have to wait for an hour.

Chapter 39: In order to be a matchmaker, the teacher really has good intentions

As the clock ticked, the four of them waited for a full hour.

At this time, Tsunade also began to realize that something was wrong. She looked at the clock and asked Minato and the others:

"Did Kushina tell you that she was going somewhere else after she came back?"

The two looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

Seeing this, Tsunade frowned even deeper, and said to herself:

“That shouldn’t be the case, Kushina is usually the most punctual.

And logically speaking, her house should be the closest to us.

There's no reason why she hasn't come over after all of you have been here for so long.

Could it be..."

When Kagura heard Tsunade's words, her heart skipped a beat.

Um...

By the way, after tonight it will be the 41st year of Konoha.

Konoha 41st year...

No way, do those guys in the Hidden Cloud Village have to be so inward-looking?

It's New Year's Day, why don't you stay at home and come here to be a human trafficker?

Thinking of this, he sighed secretly, then stood up decisively.

At this moment, his face was solemn, and he looked at everyone and said:

“Don’t worry, it’s obvious that something happened to Kushina.

Logically speaking, a Genin like her doesn't have much value.

The only reason they kidnapped her was because of her identity as a member of the Uzumaki clan."

But the problem is that Kushina's identity was intentionally hidden by Konoha's top leaders.

Why can these ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village find their targets so accurately?

But obviously this is not what he needs to consider now.

After roughly guessing what had happened, Kagura immediately began giving orders to everyone.

"Tsunade, go to the old man and ask him to send people to seal off the entrance to the village.

At the same time, we sent people to help search outside the village.”

Hearing this, Tsunade immediately nodded.

Without hesitation, she turned around and left.

Because of Uzumaki Mito, she had almost treated Kushina as her own sister over the years.

So after hearing Kagura's analysis, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

After Tsunade left, Kagura looked at Minato and said:

"You and I will split up and search for Kushina's possible whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Minato immediately nodded, stood up and was about to follow Kagura out.

At this time, the last Hiashi hurriedly asked:

"Teacher, what about me?"

As for his companion Kushina, Hiashi has also established a deep friendship with her over the past few days.

Hearing that she might have been abducted by someone outside, Rizu felt worried.

Seeing that everyone had a mission, but Kagura seemed to have forgotten about himself, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Kagura, who was about to leave, turned around and glanced at him, then said casually:

“Oh, you.

Just stay here and don’t go anywhere.”

"what?"

Hearing this, Rizu was also stunned.

Then I heard Kagura say as if explaining:

"that...

It is also possible that Kushina can get rid of those people by her own strength, and after she does, she will most likely come to me.

So just stay where you are, and if you see her coming, notify us immediately."

After hearing the explanation, Rizu looked as if he suddenly understood and nodded solemnly.

But what he didn't see was that a playful expression appeared on Kagura's face as she turned her back to him.

How come this boy has no vision?

Of course, his explanations just now were meant to fool Rizu.

Since the other party has taken action, it is definitely not something that a mere Genin can resist.

After all, Kushina's abilities were clearly lacking in actual combat.

And the reason why he wanted to keep Rizu here was to make things go according to the original script.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at Minato beside him.

You know, during this period, although the relationship between Kushina and Minato was not bad, it definitely did not reach the level between men and women.

In the original plot, it was because Minato saved Kushina in this incident that he won the heart of the beauty.

So just in case, he didn't dare let this kid Rizu run around.

Although the probability is very small, if the male protagonist of the script is replaced, how will Naruto be born...

So even though it was a bit unfair to Hiashi, Kagura could only use lies to keep him where he was.

Looking at Minato beside him, Kagura couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"Ah, in order to be a matchmaker, your teacher really puts a lot of effort into it..."

As the two walked out of the room, Kagura immediately said to Minato:

"Let's search separately. This way it will be more efficient."

After Minato nodded silently, he immediately ran in one direction.

A few minutes later, Minato arrived at the door of Kushina's house.

At this moment, the usual cute look on his face was gone, replaced by a serious yet sharp expression.

After Kagura guessed that Kushina might have been abducted, he was anxious but not panicked.
