Chapter 373 Minato's Team Dinner, Minato Namikaze's Speculation
"Minato-sensei, Kushina-neechan..." Nohara Rin, after her third battle against Konoha, pushed open the door and called out with a charming laugh, causing the Ishikawa spirit attached to her body to look up and be immediately struck by her appearance.
Inside the sun-drenched room, Kushina Uzumaki was wearing an apron and earnestly preparing a meal, while the renowned Yellow Flash, the Fourth Minato, was assisting her under the bright sunshine.
This warm and comfortable scene is a wonderful life that even Naruto could only dream of...
"You're here, Rin. Please have a seat. The feast will be ready soon," Minato Namikaze greeted her with a smile. Kushina nodded gently, displaying the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Kushina-neechan is so gentle today!" Nohara Rin muttered in surprise, glancing sideways. Given Kushina's lively personality, she usually wouldn't be so quiet.
In particular, she seemed to hear Kushina humming something softly, clearly in a very good mood.
[Uh, kids shouldn't speculate about adult matters. If I had to say, it's the nourishment of love...]
Ishikawa smirked in Rin's mind, his gaze playful, as if he could already picture some of the inappropriate scenes from last night.
If we calculate the time, Naruto will be born next October, and it is already mid-year of Konoha 47 here.
Although there's still some time before the war ends and the Fourth Hokage ascends to power, they're a legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend living together. How can they start their shameless, promiscuous life so early? How...how...how...!
We're all adults, this is only natural! Ishikawa understands and even envies this...
【The nourishment of love? ?】 A hint of confusion and longing flashed in Nohara Rin's eyes. Just as she was about to ask, the sound of knocking on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Hehehe, it must be Kakashi! Rin-chan, go open the door." Kushina urged without turning her head, making Nohara Rin's eyes widen slightly in surprise.
Kakashi? Why is that guy suddenly running around here instead of resting and recovering at home after being discharged from the hospital?
Although she didn't understand, Nohara Rin quickly stepped forward and opened the door. "Rin, you really did join the Anbu!"
Almost the instant the door opened, Kakashi saw Rin's unmasked ANBU uniform and was speechless with a complex expression.
Although he had heard about this from Minato-sensei, seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel incredulous...
Why would Lin suddenly decide to join the Dark Division?
Without Obito and Rin, how can the team continue its missions? Is Minato's team already defunct...?
"I'm sorry, Kakashi. I haven't told you these past few days because I've been on a mission. I hope you don't mind." Nohara Rin explained with a charming smile, making way for him to come in.
"Speaking of which, Kakashi-sensei was really young when he was young, both in appearance and personality..." Ishikawa remarked, looking through Rin's eyes.
Immediately, this seemingly pointless remark made Lin frown slightly, speechless for a moment!
"By the way, Kakashi. What brings you here today?" Ignoring the nonsense Ishikawa was spouting in her mind, Nohara Rin took the initiative to ask.
She had promised to ask Minato-sensei for guidance on training the Flying Thunder God Technique today, and she even specially invited Ishikawa over for it. Could something have gone wrong?
"Yes, Minato-sensei called me over to announce something." Young Kakashi said succinctly, glancing at the ANBU tattoo on Rin's shoulder as he made his decision.
Now that Lin has joined the Dark Division to train herself, he, a genius, cannot fall too far behind.
He's joining the Dark Side too!!
"Teacher, do you have something to announce?" Nohara Rin was unaware of Kakashi's decision, and then turned her curious gaze to her teacher, Namikaze Minato.
"Yes, we've decided to get married! So, we've taken advantage of the free time today to invite you all over for a meal to explain." Minato Namikaze announced with a smile, while Kushina happily served the dishes to the table.
"marry!!"
Instantly, Rin, Kakashi, and even Ishikawa inside Rin exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to witness history here.
"Congratulations, Minato-sensei, Kushina-neechan..." After a moment of surprise, Nohara Rin immediately reacted, smiling as she congratulated them and helped serve the dishes. She also understood why Kushina was in such a good mood today.
So, she's going to marry her teacher!
So, she also needs to prepare a wedding gift in advance.
It wouldn't have been appropriate for her to give a gift to Kakashi the Fifth Hokage when he got married, but this time she definitely wants to send her blessings.
"Me too, congratulations to Minato-sensei and Kushina-sensei." Kakashi chimed in, glancing at the spot next to him where they were one short and sighing inwardly.
If Obito were here, he'd definitely be shouting blessings for the teacher. With him around, the atmosphere would be even more lively.
pity……
"Don't worry, Obito will be alright. I believe in him, he'll definitely come back safely!" As if sensing what Kakashi was thinking, Rin turned her head and smiled sweetly and adorably.
In an instant, that smile, as gentle as a spring breeze and as bright as sunlight in the night, dispelled the gloom and instantly touched everyone...
"That's right, Obito will definitely be alright. After the war ends, I'll join you all in searching for him." Minato Namikaze assured him, which made Kakashi's eyes light up, but then his expression darkened again.
"But teacher, when will the war end?"
Seeing Kakashi's dejected expression, Nohara Rin was about to say something when Namikaze Minato laughed again, looking relaxed, "Well, although the village is under a lot of pressure right now, other ninja villages are also on the verge of collapse! Some villages are already discussing peace talks with the higher-ups. So, I predict that this war should end within three months."
"Three months!!" Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise and their faces lit up with joy, but this did not include the spirit Ishikawa.
He knew that after Konoha signed peace treaties with other ninja villages, the war was not completely ended, but rather it turned from open warfare into more covert local conflicts!
This probing intelligence tug-of-war will likely escalate into a new round of warfare next year, following the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha and the sacrifice of the Fourth Minato.
“But that was the original storyline. Now that Obito is gone and I'm here, nobody knows what Madara is thinking!” Shaking his head and muttering to himself, Ishikawa didn’t believe that Madara, the old man behind Kirigakure, would end the war so easily.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the Three-Tails is missing is something that neither the enemy nor Kirigakure can ignore!
"Alright, let's not talk about these annoying things anymore. The food's getting cold, Kakashi. Today we have your favorite saury..." While Ishikawa was lost in thought, Kushina interrupted him with a smile and started eating. "Rin, you should eat more too. Aren't you going to train with Minato on the Flying Thunder God Technique later?"
【Flying Thunder God!!】
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he immediately grabbed his chopsticks and reached for the saury. "Thank you for the treat, then I'll begin..."
