Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

Along the way, Minato never let go of Kushina, just like that the princess carried her back to Konoha, and didn't put her down until the Ahmon Gate.

The ninja on duty was napping in the guard box. He raised his head when he heard the sound. After seeing clearly that it was him through the light of the street lamp outside, he squinted his eyes again.

"Can you go home by yourself?" The two of them walked into the village together. When they parted at the fork in the road, Minato asked Kushina.

Kushina stared at Minato's blue eyes for a while. There was something she wanted to confirm again, but if she confirmed it again, it would seem like she didn't trust him.

Kushina wasn't sure if Minato really wanted to be friends with her. Under the circumstances, he probably just said that to comfort her.

Kushina lowered her head, she shook her head and whispered: "I can go back by myself."

"I see," Minato laughed, "There's still some distance between here and where you live. If you feel there's anything wrong, I can take you to your door."

Minato's smile was warm and his words were sincere.

Kushina raised her head and looked at him. She suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She felt soft in her heart. Facing Minato, she felt some cautious emotions for the first time.

Why do I have this strange feeling? Aren't I Kushina who is fearless?

Minato looked at Kushina staring at him with a confused look on his face, sighed slightly, he turned around with a smile and walked in front.

"Well... let me take you back. It's very late after all."

Kushina looked at him, hesitated, and hurriedly followed.

In the night, under the moonlight, the two people walked together on the path of Konoha.

The night was very quiet. The footsteps of the two people were obviously very light, but they also seemed very loud at this moment. Every sound struck Kushina's heart.

It was already late at night, and in two hours it would be daylight.

Kushina took a deep breath. Even in summer, the temperature at night was a bit cool. The air was filled with the sharp aroma of vegetation. This aroma diluted her fear of being kidnapped because she didn't know if anyone would come to save her. The doubts that arose, as well as the low self-esteem and despair that her identity as a foreigner had always brought her.

The fatigue from the long journey had also eased a lot, and she felt much lighter walking beside Minato.

"Kushina, it's better not to tell the adults about this matter. If we don't succeed this time, we are expected to be on guard, and Kumogakure's people will not dare to act rashly again."

Listening to Minato's words, Kushina nodded, "Yes, I understand. The village is very busy now. Now that the matter has passed,..."

"It doesn't matter," Minato turned to look at Kushina. He smiled and said, "I will protect you. No matter what danger there is, I will protect you well and will not let my companions be harmed."

At this time, Minato had just become a genin. No matter how good a genin was, how powerful could it be? Even if he defeated the three Kumogakure ninjas who kidnapped him, he still relied on sneak attacks, right?

But for some reason, Kushina felt extremely at ease when facing such a genin Minato. She seemed to have forgotten that he was the yellow-haired boy who never helped her when she was bullied in the past.

After what happened tonight, he seems to have become an extremely reliable person. As long as he makes a promise, Kushina will no longer feel afraid when he is around.

From Konoha to the border line, and from the border line back to Konoha, from the dusk of yesterday to the early morning of the next day, Kushina should have been very tired.

But she didn't. When she returned home and passed by Shancha's room, Kushina heard Shancha's even breathing. She must have not known that she came back yesterday.

She returned to her room, took a shower, put on clean clothes, and then lay down on the bed.

Tossing and turning on the bed, Kushina couldn't fall asleep no matter what. There was a sour swelling feeling in her chest. This sourness did not make her sad, but made her more and more excited.

Holding a pillow in her arms, she couldn't help but laugh. The flower-like girl had happiness written all over her face.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and I could vaguely see the layout of the room.

Kushina looked at the roof and muttered two words repeatedly - "Friends."

Apart from Naoki Kagura and the others, she had other friends for the first time.

There were some annoying guys who actually wanted to be friends with her.

Kushina felt that her life was like the skylight outside the window, becoming brighter and brighter, and everything was moving in a good direction.

"Namikaze Minato~" Kushina said Minato's name, and Minato's face smiling at her under the moonlight kept appearing in front of Kushina's eyes.

The girl seemed to have eaten a sweet and sour candy, and she jumped for joy.

From this moment on, Namikaze Minato seemed to be different from other people to her.

This is a secret in her heart, a secret that she is reluctant to tell anyone.

When it was daylight, Kushina finally couldn't resist the tiredness and fell asleep, and she slept until the afternoon.

When she woke up and went to the living room, she saw the note paper on the low table, which was written by Shancha.

Shancha told her that when she wakes up, she can go to Mito-sama's place to find her, and she will come back to cook for her.

"She knew I was back?" When did she know?

In the past, Kushina didn't feel much when seeing such notes, but it was different now. The change in her mood caused her feelings about other things to change.

Now, looking at this, she felt warm in her heart.

In fact, Shancha has been working very hard in the past few years to get closer to Kushina's heart and open her closed heart, but Kushina herself has been keeping others away from her.

Maybe my distant politeness had hurt Shancha's heart.

Kushina was thinking about whether to apologize to Shancha when she came back?

Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly heard someone talking outside the yard.

"Is anyone here?"

Kushina recognized this voice. She was slightly surprised for a moment and then hurried out. Outside the courtyard gate, she saw the yellow-haired boy.

Minato couldn't help but blush when he saw Kushina, who was still wearing pajamas. He touched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "I thought you were tired and would sleep until the afternoon. Did I... wake you up?"

Kushina was startled, looked down at herself who was still wearing pajamas, and instantly understood what he meant.

Waving her hands in panic, she stumbled to explain, "No, no, no, it's okay. I've already gotten up, but I haven't yet..."

Minato looked at Kushina trying to explain, and felt a little cute for some reason.

Sure enough, the thorns Kushina put up in school were all for self-protection. Apart from those thorns, she was actually no different from other girls, they were all cute and cute.

"Uh, you came to see me...what's the matter?"

"Ah," Minato came to his senses, "I want to introduce you to my friends. Kushina, you have always wanted to have friends, haven't you?"

"You know this too?"

Hmm... Minato didn't know how to tell her, she'd been making it obvious all along, hadn't she?

Minato had seen the envy and desire in Kushina's eyes many times when she saw others playing with their friends, but every time when Kushina noticed that she was looking at her, she would immediately look at her with a very scary look. Glare at him and hide all those envy and desires.

Minato knew all this.

"Kushina, even if you have to walk ten thousand miles, you still need to start with the first step. If I am the first, there will be more friends later, right?"

"..."

"Go change, I'll wait for you." He said softly.
