Master, please become the Hokage

Looking past the cage, he looked towards his lover.

Today, Kushina's face was pale and her eyes were obviously from crying.

The bathed body exudes the fragrance of shower gel.

It was obvious that Kushina was extremely worried about her own affairs.

"Feel sorry......"

Minato Namikaze could only apologize subconsciously, which made Kushina worried.

Soon, Minato Namikaze noticed other subtle changes in Kushina.

It's a change in temperament.

Without waiting for Minato Namikaze to continue observing.

Several Anbu came over and opened the cage.

"Namikaze Minato, you are free..."

Several ANBU stated that Namikaze Minato was acquitted.

Because the latest investigation news shows that the culprit is not Minato Namikaze, but someone else.

That person is naturally the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

"Of course, Master Sarutobi Ryo has already discussed the specific matters with the Yondaime and other high-level officials..."

As several extras from the Anbu repeated the story, Namikaze Minato felt a little confused.

Because he didn't expect that he would be released so soon.

Or...acquitted.

Everything happened so suddenly that Minato Namikaze felt it was unreal.

It was not until he and Kushina left here side by side that his mind came to its senses and he realized that something was wrong.

"Kushina..."

The lover beside me wiped the corners of his eyes gently.

At first, Minato Namikaze thought that the other party was crying because he was worried about him.

But upon closer inspection, there seems to be another reason.

Tired, sad...even a little scared.

At this moment, Kushina was like a wounded animal.

When Minato Namikaze reached out to touch her, Kushina's reaction confirmed Minato Namikaze's guess.

Kushina shuddered suddenly and shrank to the side subconsciously.

Looking at her tightly clenched but equally trembling fingers, Minato Namikaze felt even more uneasy.

"I'm sorry... Minato... I... I'm just so happy that you can be released..."

Kushina lowered her head and sobbed incoherently.

She kept wiping her tears so that Minato Namikaze could not see her face clearly.

Minato Namikaze's expression slowly disappeared, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

The feeling of unease began to make him think wildly.

I couldn't help but think of something...

Could it be that Kushina went to see Master Liang?

With Minato Namikaze's level of thinking, this is the only thing he can think of.

It was Kushina who went to plead for mercy, and then... she must have suffered humiliation.

However, Minato Namikaze didn't know how much Kushina had paid...

Truth will come to light sooner or later.

But at this moment, Minato Namikaze could not see the whole picture.

Soon, the two walked out of the prison.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Minato Namikaze looked a little confused.

Kushina still kept her head down.

The two of them were clearly standing together, yet there was a sense of them drifting further and further apart...

And when the two of them left here.

A figure passed by him.

Her delicate appearance and white eyes are extremely impressive.

Minato Namikaze recognized the other person's identity from the corner of his eye.

Hinata Hiashi's wife...Hinata Hazuki...was supposed to be like this.

Hinata Yuzuki, who was passing by in a hurry, frequently went to the prison to visit her fiancé...who should have been her fiancé, because she had been freed.

Because Minato Namikaze and Kushina were preoccupied with their own affairs, they didn't pay any attention to Hinata Hazuki.

Just like that, the three of them quickly went in completely opposite directions...

......

The outskirts of Konoha.

Small bridge, flowing water...

Uzumaki Mito stood at the door, looking into the distance, thinking about something in his mind.

Soon, she saw Kushina and Namikaze Minato coming from a distance.

"!"

Uzumaki Mito's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously thought that he was seeing things.

It wasn't until she confirmed it again that she realized... Namikaze Minato had indeed been released.

only......

How can this be?

Given the crime that Minato Namikaze was convicted of, he would definitely not be let off so easily.

Could it be that... that kid Sarutobi Ryo has already grasped Tobirama's movements?

Just as Uzumaki Mito was thinking in his heart, the two people had already arrived.

"Mito-sama..."

Minato Namikaze had a complicated expression, and also some self-blame and shame.

He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and at this moment he just wanted to stop and live a good life with Kushina.

Because in less than two weeks, it will be the day when Naruto is supposed to be born.

In order for Naruto to come properly, he decided to...abandon those bad things.

This was the only thought in Minato Namikaze's mind at the moment.

As for Naruto...we'll talk about it later.

And Uzumaki Mito also keenly noticed Kushina's changes.

An imperceptible darkness began to grow in Kushina's heart...

Thinking that Kushina did not come back all night last night, Uzumaki Mito slowly opened his eyes.

"last night......"

As Uzumaki Mito spoke, Namikaze Minato immediately took over the conversation.

However, after a conversation, Uzumaki Mito's uneasy suspicions were confirmed.

That is......

Kushina did not visit Minato Namikaze in prison last night, but went somewhere else...

This made Uzumaki Mito suspicious.

After letting Minato Namikaze go back and have a good rest, Uzumaki Mito decided to ask Kushina where she went last night.

And...why was Minato Namikaze released?

Or rather...what exactly did Kushina do.

Chapter 170. Kushina, where did you go last night?

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath and prepared to express his final thoughts before leaving: "Mito-sama, about Tobirama-sama..."

Uzumaki Mito: "You go back first."

Namikaze Minato: "......"

Uzumaki Mito's indifferent response made Namikaze Minato slightly stunned.

He thought about it and finally left quietly.

Minato Namikaze felt that perhaps it was because Kushina was too sad that caused Lord Mito's dissatisfaction.

Or maybe...Mitsuto-sama also made efforts to get himself released?

The details about Minato Namikaze are unknown.

At this moment, he was extremely confused and could only leave silently.

Some questions can only be understood later...

With the departure of Minato Namikaze, everything returned to silence.

There are only the sounds of windmills turning and water flowing under the bridge...

Mito Uzumaki stared into the distance.

After a long while, she shifted her gaze to her adopted granddaughter.

"Kushina..."

As Uzumaki Mito spoke, Kushina's body stiffened slightly.

"Where...did you go last night?"

"..."

There was a long silence.

Then, Kushina began to sob.

She was as pure as paper, but a hint of darkness appeared in her heart.

Uzumaki Mito noticed this.

Just overnight, Kushina changed.

So what happened?

Looking at Kushina, the only member of the Uzumaki clan, who was trying hard to suppress her sadness.

Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but slowly clench his fingers.

Her adopted granddaughter is also the heir of the Uzumaki clan...the place where their hopes are placed...

Uzumaki Mito had always hoped that Kushina would be able to take over everything.

but now.

Because of the political situation, everything began to be subverted.
