After the boy left and walked out of the building, two people walked out of the door on the other side of the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, you are too impulsive." Mito Katoyan pushed up his glasses, and as a senior advisor, he criticized unceremoniously.
The Third Hokage smiled and had no intention of explaining to his former teammate.
"That's the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Are you really so willing to let him go?" Seeing the Third Hokage's unwillingness to accept it, Mito Katobu changed his tone.
"Excessive protection is ineffective, and sometimes it can be counterproductive. Moreover, for a Jinchuuriki, only strong own strength is the best protection for her."
The Third Hokage glanced at Mito Kadoyan and continued: "Do you want to see Kushina trapped in Konoha for twenty years like Mito-senpai?"
Hearing what the Third Hokage said, Mito Kadoen sighed.
If there is anyone they feel sorry for the most, it is Uzumaki Mito. After the death of the Second Hokage, during the years when Konoha was in turmoil, Mito alone was the one who supported it.
But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but remind him: "Since the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki has been released, can we let Chen protect him alone
If something goes wrong with the Kyuubi Jinchūriki, the Kyuubi will fall into the hands of other villages. "
"You underestimate Chen's strength. There are not many people who can take Kushina away from him."
When she went to bed, Koharu had no doubts about Chen's strength, but she was a little unhappy with the third generation forcibly tying Kushina and the boy together.
To put it in more straightforward terms... She doesn't like Kushina very much, she prefers the eldest daughter of the Hinata family.
If she wasn't too old, the princess of the Senju family... well, Tsunade-hime would be quite suitable.
If Tsunade knew about Koharu's idea of sleeping with her, she would probably fight her with a kunai.
"I'm old?! Damn, believe it or not, I've been eighteen my whole life!"
Not to mention Koharu's little thoughts about sleeping with him, Mito Kadoyan was silent for a moment and said, "I hope your choice is right."
After leaving such words, he turned and walked out of the Hokage's office.
None of the three mentioned Danzo, or rather... they all deliberately ignored this tough teammate.
… …
After leaving the Hokage's office, Chen turned around and walked towards the Senju clan.
Standing in front of Kushina's hut, he knocked on the door.
Soon, the girl's voice came from inside.
"Kana?"
"It's me." Chen replied.
"Chen...Chen?! Come right away!"
She never expected that the boy would visit at this point. Kushina was surprised and a little panicked at the same time.
Like all girls who live alone, Kushina's living room is also full of fast food boxes and drink bottles, and clothes are scattered everywhere.
This is nothing, Kushina looked at what she was wearing. For convenience and coolness, she wore thin pink underwear.
How can I meet my sweetheart with a house like this and "cool" clothes
Therefore, after more than ten minutes, the little fox with a panicked face opened the door.
"Huan... welcome, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"I came so late because I have something to tell you."
"Uh-huh."
Kushina combed her hair and welcomed Chen in.
She didn't care what the boy was doing here at this hour. For her, as long as Chen could come over and play, it was already a very happy thing.
Even late at night, an inappropriate time.
"I'll make you tea." Kushina ran towards the kitchen.
Chen nodded and sat on the chair in the living room. Kushina placed the flower arrangements very carefully on the table, and it looked like Mikoto's handiwork.
After a while, Kushina came over with two cups of flower tea on a tray.
"Drink."
"Yeah." Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"How does it taste?" Kushina asked nervously.
"It's delicious. It's rare that you know my taste."
"Hehe~"
The two chatted casually for a while, and then Chen asked: "Kushina, do you still remember Uzushio Village back then?"
"...?" Kushina was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard such a question.
For her, Uzushio Village is not a very beautiful place.
There have been years of famine and war there. If Mito hadn't sent people to pick her up from the Country of Whirlpool in the end, maybe she would have died in the war like other tribesmen.
"In terms of impression..." After all, it was a memory from before she was five years old. Kushina thought for a moment and said, "It's not particularly profound. I can only find the approximate location from the map. I can't remember anything else clearly."
Actually, I said that, but how could I forget it, the corpses and wars everywhere.
It's just that it's meaningless and meaningless to say this kind of thing.
A trace of sadness flashed in the little fox's bright eyes.
"Sorry to remind you of bad memories." Chen sighed, "Want to go back and have a look?"
"Is that okay?" Kushina straightened up and looked into Chen's black pupils.
Although I don’t have a good memory of Uzushio Village, it is my hometown after all.
"Of course. I have a mission that requires me to go to the Country of Whirlpool. I came here tonight to tell you."
"Ah?... Is it just the two of us?" Kushina swallowed, shrank her neck back, and sat upright in the chair.
"Don't you want to go?"
"no… "
The sudden news that he could go back to his hometown and be with Chen was like a dream.
Kushina blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought of Kana.
Kana also lives in the Senju clan, not far from Kushina's house. Kana has never gone back in these years. If he went alone, it would be unreasonable if he didn't take her with him.
So, Kushina gritted her teeth and asked, "Can I take Kana with me?"
Chen understood what Kushina was thinking, but still shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, this is a mission, not a trip.
And... Minato will take her there in the future. "
"Oh well."
Kushina nodded with a mixture of regret and joy.
"I'm going to pack my things now~"
"Don't worry, the Third Hokage gave us a long time for the mission."
"Yeah." Kushina sat back on the chair again.
"By the way, this is for you."
Tatsu took out a scroll from his ninja bag and threw it to Kushina.
"What's this?"
"I brought you your Jonin vest and some distributed equipment from Uncle Hokage."
"Thank you!" Kushina took it excitedly, and then suddenly hugged the boy.
After they separated, she walked towards the house with a blushing face.
"Why are you going?"
Kushina narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I'm going to change my clothes, and you can see if they fit."
