Mikoto simply said what she wanted to say, literally.
"Brother Fugaku is also under a lot of pressure during this period. He drinks with brother Jie almost every night."
"I asked him what happened and he wouldn't tell me."
"He doesn't come to me much recently..."
"I have never seen him look like that. I just feel that he is under a lot of pressure. Maybe at that time, it would be better to vent to a good friend!"
Mikoto raised her eyes and stared at Aoba above the Hokage Rock. She felt that this kind of friendship between boys was very sincere, and it was often easier to solve problems than between men and women.
"this… "
Kushina turned to look at Mikoto beside her, confusion and confusion flashing in her eyes.
Am I overthinking it
Does caring lead to chaos
Even she herself wonders why
actually.
Minato also has many friends!
For example, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Akimichi Choza...
But when she saw Minato with them, she didn't have so many thoughts.
Is it because...
Is Qingyu handsome
Um…
possible!
Kushina thought silently in her heart. She felt that maybe it was because of Qingyu's good looks that she felt a little unconfident.
"Minato is gone!"
Just at this time.
Mikoto's voice sounded and reached Kushina's ears clearly.
Suddenly.
Kushina raised her head and looked in the direction of Hokage Rock.
Minato was no longer there.
Qingyu was the only one left.
"Well, let's continue shopping." After Mikoto's unintentional explanation, Kushina suddenly understood these things and felt much more relaxed, without so many worries.
"Hahahaha, okay!" Mikoto smiled, then stared at Kushina with a wink, continued to pick up the topic just now, and said, "Have you figured out how to reward Minato?"
"Here you go again..." Kushina's mouth twitched fiercely. She stared at Mikoto's head. She wanted to open the head to see what was inside.
…
Aoyu stood above the Hokage Rock. There was no one here now. He took a step forward and looked down at the Konoha Village below.
The scene in front of me was bustling.
Even people in the village realized that a war was about to happen.
They are still carrying on their own lives.
This is the meaning of the existence of the village!
Whether it is the First Ninja War or the Second Ninja War that has happened now, or the Third Ninja War and the Fourth Ninja War that happened in the anime but may not happen in the future.
Almost all of these battles took place outside the village.
The village ninjas are out fighting.
Provide peace and quiet to the village.
Protect family and friends in the village.
For ninjas.
This protection is the meaning of becoming stronger!
"I wonder if Danzo will do anything to Minato who wants to become Hokage..."
Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a chill flashing in his eyes.
He didn't want to cause any trouble.
Even more reluctant to get involved in anything.
Even if this time he faced the upcoming Third Ninja War, the method he proposed was to let Konoha Village establish a balance and avoid the occurrence of war.
From beginning to end.
Qingyu did not participate in the war itself.
but.
He has a bottom line in his heart.
Now that he has recognized Minato as a friend, if there are any obstacles in Minato's path to becoming Hokage in the future...
He wouldn't mind helping Minato clear these obstacles.
Just like the olive branch Minato had extended to him just now.
If Minato really became Hokage.
perhaps…
He will take over some ANBU things!
He couldn't say for sure now.
That might be ten years from now.
Such a long time is enough for too many changes to occur.
but.
Qingyu is certain of one thing.
Now he is used to living in darkness.
He didn't want to appear in public.
Being a low-key office worker is a choice that makes him very comfortable and peaceful.
"Now that the books on learning sealing techniques have been completed, it's time to prepare some other things."
Qingyu didn't stay too long on the Hokage Rock. He walked towards the stairs and slowly went down the stairs bit by bit.
Not long after he came down the stairs, he saw two girls walking towards him.
It was Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto.
The two people kept talking about shopping, but in fact they were very honest and walked towards Qingyu's direction.
"Qingyu, why are you here? It's been a long time!"
Kushina immediately greeted Aoyu warmly, but the enthusiasm on her face seemed more or less deliberate.
Mikoto stood next to Kushina, and she had changed from the winking look just now to a very introverted lady.
Especially standing with Kushina, who has a fiery personality.
It makes her look very quiet.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Aoba said calmly. He looked at Kushina and then at Mikoto.
how to say…
If only Kushina was here, he might go up and ask for advice on the sealing technique.
But Mikoto is also there.
Now the Uchiha clan seems to be in big trouble.
Although that was the crime that Yunyin Village wanted to impose, the crime was also imposed on the Uchiha clan.
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Qingyu waved his hands to the two of them, and then left quickly under their gazes, without giving them a chance to speak again.
"Ah... you... this..."
Kushina saw Qingyu leaving just after they met, and her face was suddenly confused. She looked at Qingyu's back stupidly, not knowing what to say.
"Kushina, do you feel that Aoyu is deliberately avoiding me?" Mikoto said, staring at Aoyu's back.
"That's not true..." Kushina didn't think too much about that. All she thought about was Minato's direction.
"Intuition." Mikoto sighed slowly. She felt that since the first meeting, the distance between the two of them had become farther and farther. And after carefully recalling it, she found that that time in Ichiraku Ramen, Aoyu He was also avoiding her, but she was just doubting Qingyu's identity.
"Maybe there is some misunderstanding here." When Kushina heard Mikoto talking about intuition, she suddenly felt a little convinced. Sometimes you can feel what's going on without any evidence.
…
After Aoba left the direction of Hokage Rock, he did not return to the ANBU dormitory, but walked towards the shops in the neighborhood.
He still had a little money on hand.
Prepare to buy some talisman-like things.
Prepare to learn the art of sealing and draw sealing symbols.
He has already begun to imagine the effect of adding the sealing talisman to the paper clone.
