Cozy cabin with bright decoration.After entering the entrance hall, there is a long round table in the wide hall.The open kitchen is right next to it, so the owner can invite many friends to have tea and dinner together.Beside the narrow pavilion, there are several suites that are not too spacious or too small to entertain relatives and friends from afar.

This is a cabin that a middle-class ninja dreams of, full of vitality and everything this class wants to carry.

Friendship, family affection and even love.

In Konoha Village, there are many, many huts like this, but they are the most ordinary.It symbolizes Konoha's abundant economic strength and at the same time declares its prosperity.

Just as Konoha preaches to the outside world, the will of fire is passed on continuously and endlessly.

However, this is the residence of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.Her wife Kushina Namikaze is busy in the kitchen at the moment, entertaining her husband's teacher, Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin in Konoha

Namikaze Minato was a Hokage who came from a commoner class. Unlike the previous three generations, he did not have a prominent background, but his ninjutsu achievements were brought about by his flat silk talent.

Therefore, even after he was elected as Hokage, he did not choose to move to the area where a group of wealthy families gathered in Konoha Village.Once here, Namikaze Minato never liked the cold atmosphere there.Secondly, the wealthy families of Konoha, headed by the Uchiha and Hyuga families, still have a considerable gap between them and the ninjas who were born as common people in Konoha.

Bloodline theory is an iron rule that the ninja family abides by.In their eyes, it is impossible for ninjas born in the civilian class to produce powerful ninjas.

The line between blood inheritance is an insurmountable gap

Namikaze Minato dominates with the space-time ninjutsu. He is one of the few jounin in Konoha who can master this ninjutsu since the Second Hokage.But in the eyes of Uchiha and other wealthy families, this is more of an accident, or luck.

"The broth made by Kushina is still delicious as always."

Jiraiya put down the sea bowl in his hand and touched his round belly, feeling warm.

Namikaze Minato had a gentle smile on his face, holding his chin with both hands, looking at his master, the man who taught him the art of ninja.

"Jiraiya-sensei, how long will you stay this time?"

"Wait until after your succession ceremony. I heard that the ceremony for the alliance between Sunagakure Village and our village will also be held at that time."

Jiraiya had a laid-back look, and his cynical attitude made it seem like he didn't care about anything.

Namikaze Minato knew that although his teacher looked like a grown-up child, he was full of enthusiasm and extremely concerned about the people he cared about.

Although Namikaze Minato inherited the position of Hokage of Konoha, the inheritance ceremony that should have been held was never held.The top management of Konoha seemed to have collectively lost their voice. They allowed Minato to take this position, but did not allow him to have the reputation he deserved.

Because, at that ceremony, all jounin in Konoha, including Uchiha and Hinata, would swear allegiance to the new Hokage.Not to mention the complicated interests involved, it is very difficult for those arrogant ninjas from rich families to be loyal to a commoner Hokage.

Some time ago, Konoha's top management received a promise of alliance from Sunagakure Village.In order to show the friendship between the two countries and to show off to other countries, Konoha's senior officials wanted to make this ceremony very grand.By the way, they also remembered that their Hokage didn't seem to hold a succession ceremony.So, let’s do it together

Namikaze Minato knew that since he was the Hokage, there was actually a lot of dissent in the village.But his teacher actually wanted to protect him.

"Minato, do you know that when that old man in the Third Generation proposed to hold the succession ceremony, Danzo's old face looked ugly? When I think about it, I still want to laugh."

Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh.You know, for Danzo, a gloomy old man, none of the three disciples of Hiruzen Sarutobi likes him except Orochimaru.

"Yeah, that must be funny."

At this time, Kushina brought over a bowl of fruit, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

"By the way, where is Naruto?"

Jiraiya suddenly remembered that he had not seen any trace of Naruto on this journey.

“I don’t know where to go to play anymore.”

Kushina sighed and said.Because of Shikamaru, Obito did not turn black, and the Nine-Tails attack did not occur.By the way, Naruto, the fake one, became the real prince.

The son of the Fourth Hokage, he was born with a golden key in his mouth.Coupled with the fact that Namikaze Minato was the civilian Hokage who was very popular in the village, Naruto's status also rose.

"I'm furious"

Naruto's little figure ran in from outside, hurried to the table, took a glass of water, and drank it.

"What's wrong"

Kushina looked at her son fondly and asked.

"I saw someone bullying a little girl on the way back."

"Then did you help her?"

Kushina asked, stroking Naruto's fluffy golden hair.

"I originally wanted to help her. But Sasuke asked me if I liked this girl. I was angry at the time. How could I like her? Her eyes were all white and she looked so scary. So in the end I didn't "Go up"

Hinata family member

Minato and Jiraiya looked at each other and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, she was rescued by someone named Shikamaru."

"Nara Shikamaru"

Perhaps Naruto was very unfamiliar with this name, but Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya still remembered it.After all, the name of this child who mysteriously disappeared four or five years ago is still in the files of Konoha Anbu, and he is a target that must be found.

There was a solemn look in Jiraiya's eyes.Why did this person, who had disappeared for many years, come back in vain at this time?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the timing alone is worthy of suspicion.Moreover, he did not receive any information from the Nara clan.In other words, this child came to him, not the Nara clan.

"Is there anyone else around Nara Shikamaru?"

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and asked.

Naruto touched his head and said: "That guy seems to be accompanied by a very beautiful girl, who is said to be his retainer. Do you know that Sasuke's face turned red when he saw that girl?"

"Retainer?"

Jiraiya murmured to himself, thinking about this somewhat distant word.After all, after the First Hokage ended the Warring States Period, words like retainer had not appeared in people's ears for a long time.

"No matter what, Konoha Village will be very lively next."

Jiraiya shook his head and looked at Minato, with a meaningful smile on his face.
