Chapter 484 First Deepest Affection, Minato Namikaze

Unbeknownst to Minato, who was beaming with happiness, Li Yaoying's clone was following him from the hidden space beside him.

"Whether Shinjiro likes it or not, I don't know, but you'll definitely be pleasantly surprised later!"

Li Yao, who was connected to the Shadow Clone's consciousness, naturally saw the happy smile on Minato's face. He was trying to communicate with Kushina, and at this moment, he had completely suppressed the chakra in his body, just waiting to give Minato a big surprise.

soon.

With cheerful steps, Minato arrived at his own front door.

"Um???"

"What is Kushina doing?"

Minato looked puzzled. According to his chakra perception, Kushina was sitting alone on the bed, gesturing wildly and leaning back and forth.

Minato, lacking in posing skills, was unaware that Kushina's actions at that moment had a professional name: ...indescribable.

Despite his doubts, Minato didn't dwell on it. Instead, now that Shinji was awake, he could knock on the door.

"Snapped!"

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

Xin Jiunai, who was busy in the bedroom, froze for a moment, but then quickly recovered. She turned around and asked Li Yao with some confusion, "Minato, was someone knocking on the door just now?"

No, you misheard.

Li Yao lay on the bed, turned his head to look at the doorway, his pupils dilated in shock, his face blank with disbelief, and chuckled.

Let's go back one second.

With a crisp "snap," Minato's hand suddenly passed through the door, as if the wooden door had suddenly become a phantom projection.

"not good!"

With his abnormal nerves and sharp mind, Minato saw the hand passing through the wooden door and instantly realized that the current situation was the effect of some kind of ninjutsu, and then thought that Kushina was in danger.

"fly……"

The moment he realized that Kushina was in danger, Minato decisively used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to his wife's side.

However, his chakra was frozen and could not be circulated, so he could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

brush!

Realizing that his chakra was frozen and he couldn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique or other ninjutsu, Minato acted decisively, passing right through the wooden door and into the house.

"Minato, was someone knocking on the door just now?"

Upon entering, Minato, with his excellent hearing, not only heard his wife Shinjiro's questioning voice, but also a crisp and rhythmic striking sound.

"Is Kushina asking me?"

Completely bewildered, Minato found himself in front of his and Shinjiro's bridal chamber. There, on his meticulously prepared, pristine white wedding bed, lay a man who terrified him. The man turned to look at him, a smile on his face, and said, "No, you must have misheard."

What's going on?

Why...?

Even though Shuimen's nerve reaction speed was abnormal and his thinking was extremely agile, the scene unfolding before his eyes caused his brain to overload instantly, making him unable to understand what was happening.

Why is Li Yao here?

Didn't he transform into the Fourth Tsuchikage and go to Kumogakure?

Why didn't Shin Ku-na recognize Lee Yo?

wrong!

Why would his wife, Shin Ku-na, put pressure on Lee Yo?

Could it be an illusion?

wrong!

Minato's chakra perception did not disappear. He knew that Li Yao's genjutsu was powerful, but he also sensed it very clearly. At this moment, Kushina was not affected by the genjutsu chakra.

So here's the question!

Since she wasn't affected by the illusion, why did Xin Jiuna not seem to be forced at all, but instead excitedly released pressure on Li Yao?

Why is that?

Why did Shinjiro refer to "Watergate" when she said it to Lee Yo?

Why did Shinobu, who wasn't under the illusion spell, mistake Li Yao for herself?

At that moment, Minato's mind was filled with too many questions and doubts.

After rushing through these unanswered questions, Minato, still unable to find the answers, finally returned to reality.

No matter how many doubts or questions there may be.

The scene unfolding before Minato would instantly make any man's brain rush with blood, leaving him with only one thought.

"Li Yao, I'm going to kill you!"

For the first time since becoming a ninja, Minato lost his composure. Veins bulged on his face, revealing a ferocious expression. He roared wildly and charged at Li Yao on the bed, delivering a powerful punch.

However, what made Watergate even more insane and humiliated was...

Faced with his angry punch, not only did Li Yao's eyes widen and he wore an excited smile, showing no intention of dodging, but even his wife, Xin Jiunai, seemed completely unaware of his presence. Or perhaps Xin Jiunai was so immersed in the pressure Li Yao was exerting that she had no energy left to care about anything else.

In either case.

Minato was filled with rage and humiliation at the sight of his wife, Shinjiro.

puff!

Before his fist even touched Li Yao's despicable face, Minato was overwhelmed by endless anger and humiliation, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is the consequence of abnormal neurological responses and overly agile thinking.

The more you think, the more emotionally affected you become.

If you can stay calm, that's fine; exceptional quick thinking only brings the benefit of composure.

But once they lose their composure, they become like a spring compressed to its limit, unleashing even more terrifying negative emotions.

Minato was in this state. Having lost his usual composure, he was overwhelmed by the humiliating actions of Shinobu, which he could not understand. The intense negative emotions caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even as he coughed up blood, Minato's fist continued to fall in the same direction, instead slamming down on Li Yao's head with even greater speed and force.

With an excited expression, Li Yao watched as Minato's fist pierced through his head, then, seeing the astonished look on Minato's face, he smiled and said, "Push harder!"

"I've already tried my best!"

Xin Jiuna thought Li Yao was talking to her.

Minato's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He turned around in disbelief, looking at the happiness radiating from his wife Shinjiro's face, at her eyes that ignored him, at his wife... Minato's heart suddenly stopped beating at that moment.

The whole world instantly went into black and white.

Time and space seemed to stand still at that moment.

Memories of the past surfaced one by one, from the first time he saw Xin Jiunai and the touch of red that stirred his heart, to embracing Xin Jiunai under the moonlight and pledging their love for three lifetimes, and then to the two of them getting married a month ago and officially becoming a loving couple.

Memories of the past flooded his mind. Minato's eyes were filled with happiness, but his life force was rapidly fading.

Holy crap!!!!

"So this was all just a rushed, superficial visit?!"

Li Yao, who sensed that Minato's soul was dissipating, was directly shocked for a hundred years.

I never imagined that Minato loved Kushina to this extent.

If Kushina was under a spell or even forced by someone, Minato would only feel angry and guilty for not protecting her.

However, Kushina ignored his gaze, focusing only on releasing the pressure, and the sense of satisfaction she had never shown him before made Minato, who had lost his usual composure, instantly believe that Kushina had abandoned him.

Only those who have experienced love know the indescribable pain of being abandoned by the person you love most.
