Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 66 Leaving Midway

When Mina Uzumaki entered Kushina's house, she discovered that Kushina had a lover named Minato Namikaze who was cooking in the kitchen.

Kushina had a lot to talk about with Mina, so she took Mina to her room. Afterwards, Minato served tea and snacks, told her the lunch time, and then went downstairs to attend to other matters.

"Kushina, you're living a really good life now."

Mina Uzumaki thought to herself with a hint of envy, "This kind of life is almost perfect, isn't it?"

"It's terrible. I'm completely under surveillance now. They've drawn a circle around me, forcing me to live only inside it. I haven't been outside for ages."

Kushina made a circle with her hands, indicating that the area of ​​her living barrier was very small.

"This kind of life is too stifling. When I was a child, I was almost kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village. Luckily, Minato saved me. After that, I couldn't go out anymore. Life is so hard now, Mina. I have to ask someone to pass on a message just to see you."

"Well, it's alright then."

Mina Uzumaki gave an awkward laugh. She had taken a look upstairs earlier and noticed that the house was two stories high and quite spacious, with well-furnished interiors.

It's much better than her small single room in Kusagakure.

Moreover, her treatment in Kusagakure was terrible; she was basically imprisoned at all times. If she hadn't shown her sensory abilities, it's uncertain whether she would have been able to leave Kusagakure.

He might never be able to go on a mission, nor would he ever encounter Yoichi. His future life would likely consist of being bitten to death in Kusagakure.

Kushina quickly shook her head, then asked, "This isn't good at all, Mina. Can you leave the village to do a mission now?"

"I should be able to, but my strength is too low, and I haven't mastered medical ninjutsu. Master Yang told me to study hard first, and he will take me on missions later, since I am already a member of Yang's team."

As Mina Uzumaki finished speaking, her face showed great certainty.

"That's great. Right now, I can't even leave the village, let alone go to Konoha Hospital to see you."

Kushina said enviously, then took Mina's hand and continued, "Mina, please come visit more often. I'm so bored by myself. By the way, do you remember the sealing technique the Elder taught you when you were little?"

Kushina was very happy talking about her childhood. She hadn't seen her family for a long time, and after coming to Konoha, only Mito Uzumaki could put her mind at ease.

Later, Mito Uzumaki died while transferring her Jinchuriki, and Tsunade was always on missions, as was Minato, so there were even fewer people to keep her company.

Now that she has met a childhood friend from her clan, Kushina is eager to tell him everything she has said over the years.

"By the way, Mina, the family you're staying at now, is it called Uchiha Yoichi? He seems pretty strange."

Kushina suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and started talking about it with Mina Uzumaki.

"Yesterday I asked him to pass on my address to you. At first, Uchiha Yoichi thought it was too much trouble and refused. But then he suddenly suggested that we shake hands before he would pass it on."

"shake hands?"

Mina's alarm bells suddenly rang, and then she casually glanced to the side and saw an orange dress and bare feet.

It's fairly safe, but it probably isn't to Yang Yi's taste.

"There must be something special about you, Kushina. Yoichi isn't that kind of person."

Mina Uzumaki said to Kushina with absolute certainty.

Kushina nodded in agreement, gesturing for him to continue: "That's what I felt too. Shortly after shaking hands, his body temperature suddenly spiked, and then he pulled his hand back. Mina, do you think there might be something wrong with Uchiha Yoichi's body?"

High body temperature?

Mina Uzumaki suddenly remembered that when she sealed that monster into Uchiha Yoichi's body, similar situations had occurred several times, but Yoichi said it wasn't a big problem.

"No problem, I know about this. It's one of Lord Yang's special abilities."

"Is that so? Since you think it's okay, Mina, then it's fine."

Kushina wanted to say something else, but then someone knocked on the door, and Minato Namikaze said from outside, "Kushina, lunch is ready, let's eat."

"Coming right away."

After saying that, Kushina turned to Mina Uzumaki and said, "Mina, let's eat first. Minato likes to study cooking."

The two then went downstairs, where a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table, which looked delicious.

Kushina was very happy today. The frustration of being trapped in the barrier had vanished with the arrival of her childhood friends.

The annihilation of the Uzumaki clan was an unpleasant memory for Kushina from her childhood, but seeing her clansmen today helped to dispel some of that unpleasant memory.

"Mina-san, I heard you've been studying at Konoha Hospital lately. Are you planning to become a medical ninja?"

During the meal, Minato Namikaze suddenly smiled and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Mina Uzumaki paused for a moment while holding the spoon, then said, "Not yet. I've only been studying for a few months, and there are still many things I haven't learned."

"If Mina-san is interested in this, I can ask the Hokage for you. He might be able to make you a Jonin in the medical team."

Minato Namikaze said with a gentle smile, but before he could finish speaking, Mina Uzumaki interrupted him, saying, "That won't be necessary. After you finish learning medical ninjutsu, I will follow Yoichi's arrangements."

Kushina, who was standing nearby, said, "Then he'll probably make you a medical ninja too, otherwise what's the point of learning medical ninjutsu?"

"If Lord Yangyi wants me to be a medical ninja, I'll be. But if he doesn't want me to be a medical ninja, then I'll heal him all by myself!"

Mina Uzumaki spoke firmly, and her words left Minato Namikaze speechless.

"This is really hard to persuade. It seems the mission the Hokage entrusted to me is going to fail."

Minato Namikaze thought to himself, and then stopped saying anything about making Mina Uzumaki a medical ninja. It was yesterday afternoon when the Third Hokage suddenly called him to his office and asked him to persuade Kushina's clansman today.

However, the other party's attitude was too firm, and it was impossible for him, a stranger who had just met, to persuade them.

After finishing her meal, Mina Uzumaki said goodbye, explaining that she had to study in the afternoon. Although Kushina had a lot more to say, Mina Uzumaki was adamant and left Kushina's house after finishing her conversation.

Not long after everyone left, Kushina realized what had happened and stormed up to Minato, demanding, "Minato, what was wrong with you just now? Why did you say those things to Mina? She left early because of those two sentences you said!"

Although she was asking, Kushina was already certain that Mina Uzumaki left early because of what Minato had said at the dinner table.

"Kushina, I was just asking. The Hokage told me to ask, so please don't be angry."

Seeing Kushina's anger, Minato Namikaze quickly explained, "Your clansman seems to be somewhat special. She possesses exceptional talent in medical ninjutsu. The Hokage wants her to become a medical ninja, so he asked me to inquire about it."
