Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

As a civilian who moved to Konoha from elsewhere due to the war, Namikaze Minato's living conditions can be considered very bad.

Especially after his parents passed away due to health reasons, leaving him at the age of ten, his life was even more difficult.

But fortunately, after the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded, some subsidy measures were introduced for orphans who lost their parents due to various reasons, and they could receive a living expense from the material distribution office every month.

Namikaze Minato was one of those supported.

Because of this, he was always grateful to the Third Hokage and Konoha, and regarded becoming Hokage and protecting Konoha as his goal, and he has been working hard for this.

In a clearing in the woods outside the civilian residential area, Minato wiped the sweat from his head and carefully pulled out the thrown shuriken from the tree stump.

Looking at the curled blade, Minato couldn't help but scratch his head in distress.

"Hey! It seems like this one won't last long."

"Really! Why is school on holiday? I don't have much money, so I have to buy my own shurikens for training."

"Looks like I need to save some money on living expenses this month!"

Minato put his shuriken into his ninja tool bag, briefly cleared the area, and looked up at the sun that was about to set. Red, like a ripe tomato.

A girl's face suddenly appeared in Minato's mind, and she smiled stupidly at the sunset.

"So lovely!"

"I haven't seen Kushina-san in several days, and I don't know what she is doing!"

Minato thought of Kushina and suddenly couldn't help but want to see her.

Hmm. Although every time she went there, she never felt good about herself.

"But Kushina's grandma is so gentle!"

"So he guides Kushina's training carefully, so he must be a powerful ninja, right? I'm so envious!"

"It's decided! I'll visit Kushina's grandma again tomorrow and ask her to guide me in my practice!"

"Well, I definitely didn't go because I wanted to see Kushina!"

Minato had a bright smile on his face and pumped his fists to cheer himself up.

After returning to his simple home, Minato packed up some food and settled today's dinner. Then he sat on his bed and started refining chakra.

As a child of civilian background, if you want to go further on the road of ninja, you can only make up for the gap with those children of big families through your unremitting efforts.

But fortunately, Minato's talent was good, and the knowledge taught in school was relatively simple for him. Therefore, you can free up a lot of time to hone your fighting skills and refine chakra.

After several years of study, Minato's continuous efforts, coupled with his own strong talent blessing, made his strength surpass that of the vast majority of students in the school, and he firmly stood at the forefront of his grade.

With his sunny and handsome appearance, gentle and courteous personality, and excellent grades, Minato became the focus of the school and was highly sought after by his peers.

But Minato didn't care about this. His goal would not be limited to competing with his peers in the ninja school. Naruto was his constant goal.

For this reason, the red-haired girl who shouted loudly for the first time in the classroom: "I want to become the first female Hokage of Konoha!" immediately attracted his attention.

From that day on, he suddenly felt that his dream was not alone.

Early the next morning.

Minato got up early, and his good habits had already made him accustomed to this kind of routine.

After tidying up his housework and eating something simple, Minato locked the door and ran towards the Senju Clan.

After the war, the residents of Konoha put smiles on their faces again. Minato greeted familiar people all the way through the area where civilians lived.

Outside the Senju Clan, two ninjas guarding in the dark immediately spotted Minato's figure.

"A kid is coming, I'm going to chase him away."

A ninja next to him who had obviously seen Minato shook his head to stop his companion.

"No, Mito-sama has told me that this child is Kushina's classmate. If he comes, don't pay attention to him!"

"Besides, didn't you feel the smell in the yard yesterday? Do you really think someone who dares to come to the Thousand Hands Clan to cause trouble can come back alive?"

A hint of wonder flashed in his companion's eyes, he nodded and lurked again.

Naturally, Minato didn't know that someone was observing him in the dark. He quickly ran to the gate of the Senju Clan, straightened his training clothes that were a little white from washing, and knocked on the door.

I was watching the rope tree where Kushina and Kyuubi were playing in the yard when I heard a knock on the door and stood up.

Opening the door, a head of golden hair looked shining in the early morning sun.

Naoshu was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's you! Little Sun!"

"Are you here to see Kushina? Come in!"

Minato was stunned for a moment by the name of the rope tree, but then he reacted with a big smile on his face.

"Senior Nezuki!"

Naoki took Minato into the courtyard, and Kushina, who heard the movement, put Kyuubi on the table piled with scrolls. Turning around, he immediately saw Minato following Nogeki, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.

Kyuubi shook the hair on his body that was messed up by Kushina in annoyance, glanced sideways at Minato, and showed a smirk on his lips.

A tail behind him quietly grew longer and pushed against Kushina's back. Kushina screamed and flew towards the rope tree.

Shengshu was stunned and was about to reach out to catch it. Kyuubi coughed suddenly, Naoki looked up and Kyuubi winked at him.

Naoki looked at the evil smile on Kyuubi's lips, thought of Minato behind him, and understood instantly.

The hand that was about to reach out was immediately retracted, the body swayed to the side, and he exclaimed:

"Ouch! It's such a strong force, I can't handle it!"

"Minato, help!"

Minato saw Namura standing in front of him suddenly move away. Before he could realize what was happening, a red figure rushed towards him.

Subconsciously he reached out to pick it up, but the red figure suddenly accelerated and crashed into his arms. Minato lost his balance and was knocked to the ground, and the two of them immediately rolled into a ball.

Kyuubi retracted the tail that was pressed against Kushina's back, gave Naoki a cooperative look, and swooped into the room.

Minato looked at Kushina lying on top of him and his face suddenly turned red.

"She's so close to me!"

Kushina exclaimed and sat up with her hands on Minato's chest. Seeing Minato staring directly at him, he punched him in the face out of shame and anger.

"You bastard Minato, you dare to take advantage of me! See if I don't beat you to death!"
