[Hokage] Terukawa

Kushina Uzumaki, a powerful Konoha female ninja, is currently the girlfriend of Konoha's well-known Chuinami Feng Minato, nicknamed "Fiery Red Pepper".

On the way here, I asked a little curiously, "What is the origin of the nickname 'Fiery Red Pepper'?"

"First of all, it's because Kushina's hair is so--a beautiful red color, it looks like flames!" Namikaze Minato smiled unconsciously, and even had two blushes, handsome or not Handsome, just...it seems that somehow, she has a little more silly temperament, "Because she is not only powerful, but also has a very good personality-she is enthusiastic and cheerful, and getting along with her always makes people feel spontaneous. Inner happiness and relaxation—Hey Zhaohe, I bet you, I bet you will like Kushina, and you will have a good time getting along!"

"...Where did you get such overwhelming confidence." You just believe that we can get along well?I curled my lips secretly: In terms of personality, I still know how much I have... Think about it, I have lived in the mountains in my short four or five years of life, even if I have tried my best to maintain my social skills. But it's better than nothing... In short, it's definitely not a pleasing personality.Therefore, since the moment I stepped into Muye Village, I have made up my mind-absolutely talk less!Don’t I understand the principle of talking more and making mistakes, saying less and making mistakes less?Solving the problem from the root is called real problem solving (?).

However, it is a pity that Namikaze Minato's thoughts are obviously different from mine. He shook his head slightly and raised his eyebrows again: "You little devil of your age always likes to think wildly by yourself-listen, never put I think too badly, and... that's Kushina!"

"..."

I saw his proud, sure and determined look on his face, and suddenly felt that this sentence seemed impossible to answer.

Next is Namikaze Minato's endless Amway time.

...Okay, okay, I get it, I get it.

To be honest, from a personal emotional point of view, I don’t actually want to eat this dog food, but when I look at this issue from a rational point of view, it doesn’t seem so embarrassing—is it just the eyes of the beholder? Shih Tzu?I see.

I had a little urge to laugh, and at the same time, I quietly pushed back all the information about the surname "Whirlpool" that I just recalled in my mind when I wandered off - this is meaningless.I thought, there is only one Uzumaki family.And I have to say that Namikaze Minato is really an Amway expert, his praise comes as if he doesn't even need to think about it, but he praises his literary talents with witty words... It really makes people want to get to know that person better Ms. Uzumaki Kushina, and began to look forward to meeting this "Fiery Red Pepper".

As it turns out, a Shih Tzu is a Shih Tzu—I mean, it's an objective fact, not dependent on whether the person laying eyes on her is a lover or not.

Sure enough, she is a big beauty. Even the death color red and green caused by the olive green dress can completely suppress it, and she can even wear it with a special style.

Although... I always feel a little too enthusiastic, which makes me hard to resist _(:3)∠)_.

There is a strong salty fragrance wrapped in steaming heat, which is mixed with a little freshness. For me who has long been accustomed to eating aquatic products due to geographical advantages, it is a taste that can be easily identified-it is fresh The shrimp will be released after being immersed in the soup.Not long after, a few wisps of hot and spicy air appeared in the air, which was extremely alluring.

...Hey, I just remembered that the last meal I ate seriously was the breakfast that Oroko put a lot of effort into cooking that morning. ...Oh my God, calling that thing food is just flattering it. Seriously, isn’t this a prop in disguise to remind ninjas to eat well and maintain their health before they can continue to serve Ninja Village? ?

I wiped my eyes and looked up at the kitchen that my seat was facing.

The first thing that catches my eyes is always Uzumaki Kushina's beautiful red hair-ahha, Namikaze Minato really didn't deceive me.It really looked like a fire, warm and bright, and under the bright light, it seemed that it would emit a warm fire in the next second.She rolled up her sleeves, and with a spatula in her hand, the movements of stirring from time to time were smooth and natural, and the tails of her hair that flicked between the movements unconsciously added a bit of enthusiasm to her. It was just that such an ordinary and trivial matter as cooking came to her. It has become a top priority that deserves to be dealt with wholeheartedly.And Namikaze Minato was standing beside her, waiting for the "queen" to order. His hand movements were clean and neat. The "queen" pointed east and he would never go west, but... the "queen"'s request seemed not so easy to fulfill. Yes, a few times I saw him standing with his hands down, his back straight, but I could see a few traces of grievances that were hard to detect.

——As expected of the woman called Chili Pepper, she was so charming that she caught Namikaze Minato to death—look, she looks like a real queen, and while her knights are being directed around in the kitchen Also bubbling with happiness.

I was amused by my rich imagination... Hey, for some reason, I always feel my nose is a little sore.

I raised my hand and rubbed my face, and the next second I saw Minato touching Kushina's forearm, and then the two of them turned around to greet me at the same time as if they had made an appointment, and they were chatting again. In the hot air, each stretched out a hand to gesture a pair of scissors.

"Pfft—" I couldn't help laughing out loud, doesn't this look too silly?

I heard the sound of bubbles bursting suddenly from the dishes under the lid of the pot, and seeing the backs of these two people looking back in a hurry, I felt that a small chill that would have been chaotic for a long time was dispelled from all over my body, so A new warmth was injected into my heart as a filling, slowly spreading to my limbs.

Kushina's craftsmanship is really good.

After I put a small piece of steamed fish in my mouth with the mentality of trying it out, I realized this fact clearly.

The fish that will be steamed is undoubtedly fresh, with firm, well-textured white flesh.The fish meat is crushed along the texture between the teeth, first in pieces and then in pieces.The right heat makes the fish feel like it has a soul. It is firm and chewy while having a fresh and smooth taste, and then there will be traces of fresh and sweet, salty and delicious soup that only belongs to fresh fish. But it will not overwhelm the host in the slightest.The onion, ginger, and garlic perfectly cover up the fishy smell of freshwater fish, and at the same time, it also makes the protagonist have a long aftertaste.There is no excess in the milky white fish soup on the side, and the faint oily flowers are floating on the surface. The dual stimulation of taste and smell makes people feel like being directly hit to the soul.

Shrimp patties, salt-roasted eggplant, cabbage, tomato soup... Is Minato's daily life so happy?

I am well-mannered, but at the same time, I do not hide my gratitude to the host and my love for the dishes on the table-obviously, the two people opposite me are also quite satisfied with my reaction. Have fun.

"Sister Kushina's craftsmanship really lives up to her reputation - I really enjoy it."

After I tried to say thank you but was blocked by Kushina with the sentence "Don't say more useless scene words", I simply stopped talking about those useless etiquette: "If I want to use my own words, it is'Let One can't wait to swallow one's tongue 'it's a good meal."

When I said this, I saw Kushina and Minato across the table with satisfied smiles on their faces.The way their lips were raised and their eyes narrowed happily made me feel the real relaxation in Konoha for the first time, so I followed their example, relaxed my straight back slightly, and let myself lean on the on the back of the chair.

"Can I wash the dishes? Sister Jiushina must have prepared such a sumptuous table for a long time, right?" After a while, I stood up.

"Hey, Zhaohe, you're only five years old. What kind of dishes do five-year-olds wash? Do you have to step on a small bench to do the work? Just leave this work to Minato. You can talk to me. "She pulled me back to the seat without any doubt, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Besides, I haven't prepared for a long time. Every time Minato goes on a mission in a country farther away, I will prepare a richer meal on the day he comes back... …So except for fresh ingredients such as fish and shrimp, I prepared everything else a few days ago, which is not troublesome at all. For me, cooking can even be said to be one of the joys. "

Minato stood up and greeted us wisely, then turned and went into the kitchen. After a while, there was the sound of running water in the kitchen.

I nodded to Jiu Xinnai, and then I saw that her expression gradually became serious, and the temperature in her eyes did not drop, but at this moment, something seemed to be added to her eyes, and it was These things made her gaze equally deep and complex.

But to be honest, I'm actually not surprised at all - I just knew that she... or the two of them, had something serious to tell me....

I sat up straight again.

Kushina pursed her lips slightly, looking as if she was carefully considering her words—in fact, she even made her voice so gentle that it didn't even sound like a temptation.

She asked me: "Do you... accept Konoha?"

I was taken aback for a moment. After making sure that I heard correctly, and after carefully observing her expression, and repeatedly confirming that her question did not contain any sense of sarcasm, I just felt my throat loosen, and I couldn't help but move He raised his brows, and said teasingly: "Sister Jiuxinna, I almost thought you were mocking me just now... After all, my existence appeared at this juncture... Seriously, ask me 'what are you? How to make Konoha accept you' is more realistic." Seeing her squinting her eyes following my words, I sensed something was wrong, so I quickly stopped trying to die and answered her question head-on: "Okay Well, Konoha... If you don't talk about some of my own reasons, then I actually like it here," I hesitated, and still spit out the rest of the words, "But... I have already told Minato-san That's the problem." I spread my hands.

"I understand." Kushina nodded, but there was no trouble at all on her face.Immediately afterwards, she seemed to have insight into my doubts, and added to me: "The matter of your adulthood has not yet been decided...Let's talk about this matter when you become an adult."

After turning me back with one sentence, her tense expression finally relaxed, and even a smile appeared on that beautiful face, as if recalling something that made me feel happy from the bottom of my heart. Past events: "Konoha is indeed a very warm place... I can bet that once you get familiar with this place, you will definitely like it very much. However, I still have some questions to ask you personally, what is your plan for the next life ? And, when do you plan to go to ninja school?"

...?Ninja school?What is that?Do you mean a school that trains ninjas?

My eyes drifted for a moment, and I thought of the same unresolved "Anbu" before... Hey, why does this feel like a bumpkin entering the city?

The unfamiliar term made me think - although I don't know what the school that specializes in cultivating ninjas is like, it must be different from the Anbu I am going to.

How did you get it?

Nonsense, one is "Ninja School" and the other is "Assassination Tactics Special Forces".

"I'm not going to Ninja School," I said, "I'm going to Anbe."

Her expression changed immediately, and even the aura around her became a little scary.I have a hunch that something is wrong, but where is it...?Who knows, anyway, there is nothing wrong with quickly adding an explanation: "It was arranged by the third Hokage-sama. My background is a bit problematic. It was just right to enter Anbu. And before that, there was a person named Shimura Dan... Dan or something." , he has been..."

It's been...what's the matter?

I frowned and thought for a while, but I didn't think of any adjectives that were appropriate and euphemistic enough—after all, I was a high-ranking member of Konoha, so I still had to be sympathetic—thanks to Shimura Danzo's set of orders. The suffocating operation style seems to be quite well-known-well, to be honest, the word I want to use is actually notorious-it can be seen from Kushina's extremely ugly face.

I met her eyes, blinked innocently, then skipped the adjective and went on to the next sentence: "Although my going to Anbe was proposed by the third Hokage-sama, it was indeed decided by me—— Don't worry, sister Jiuxinna, I'm pretty sure I have the ability to be responsible for my own choices... What's more, judging from the actual situation at the time, there is no better result than this." I tapped suggestively With his own head, he added, "I should indeed thank the Third Hokage-sama.

Kushina clenched her fists violently and looked away.Her lips would open from time to time, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say it - it seemed that she chose another way than weak words.

She came forward and hugged me, the strength on her arm was very light, and the words she whispered in my ear were also very light:

"It was hard work," she said.

Did you work hard...?

Too much work.

Yes, it was really hard work.I think.

But compared to what I want to see and do, hard work is just the beginning!

I blinked vigorously, but it couldn't dispel the moisture in my eyes. When the warm yellow light from the room shone into my eyes, I felt for a moment that I was still standing in that golden ginkgo forest.

I also saw the water gate coming out of the kitchen with a complicated expression—hey, I noticed that the sound of the water stopped a long time ago, how long have you been eavesdropping there?

Of course he also saw my unfriendly eyes, but he obviously didn't intend to say anything about this issue.He even raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at me with those overly warm eyes, tolerated me, and told me——

"Zhaohe... child, I promise you, after today, Kushina and I will know nothing," he told me, "Actually, you can..." He pointed to his eyes.

Ok, I think I get it.I pull an ugly grin.

Actually I could cry.
