Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 159 Kushina

Konoha Village, within the barbecue area.

"Ha! Obito! Do you have any objections to my arrival?"

A tall, slender figure with a full head of red hair hooked one arm around the neck of the short Obito, slowly tightening his arm and asking in a 'gentle' tone!

"You should know that I'm only here because of Lin!"

"You reckless fool, you don't have that kind of influence!"

"Ah! Let go! You're strangling me to death, you violent maniac! I really don't understand how someone as gentle as Minato-sensei could like a violent woman like you~"

"What! I didn't hear you clearly, say it again?"

As she spoke, the woman with striking long red hair not only did not loosen her right hand, but also slowly increased the pressure on it.

He tightened his grip even more on the stubborn brat in front of him!

"Kushina-san, don't be so angry, Obito didn't mean it~"

Seeing this, Nohara Rin quickly stepped in to smooth things over and plead for her friend who had courted death.

She didn't know what was going on. Kushina clearly cared about Obito's situation, but every time she talked to him, it would end up like this.

This is probably their unique way of communicating!

"Lin is the best. She's cute and so understanding. Come on..."

As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki, the mother of the future protagonist and known as the Red Hot Chili Pepper, loosened her grip on Obito's neck and hugged Rin Nohara, giving her a kiss.

At the same time, he couldn't help but scold, "That idiot, he always thinks of the future without considering the consequences. He must cause Lin a lot of trouble!"

"If only I could become half as clever as Rin someday, I wouldn't worry about her so much~"

"Ha! I'm Obito Uchiha, the future Hokage! Who needs your concern!"

Boom!

"Ah! Here it comes again! Here it comes again!"

"You really are a violent woman~"

Obito, who had just been punched, clutched his badly injured head, tears welling up in his eyes, while simultaneously denouncing the other party's brutality.

"Ha! You rash, clumsy brat, who's being violent again? Believe it or not..."

As soon as Toshiro stepped into the private room, this ridiculous scene greeted his eyes, leaving him speechless.

At this time, Kushina was just over twenty years old, and her temper was quite characteristic of the Uzumaki clan, making her irritable and easily angered.

Of course, this also has to do with Obito's self-destructive behavior!

Although Kushina Uzumaki was scolding him, she was actually quite concerned about the kid. She was afraid that he would get hurt on the battlefield because of his reckless personality and his tendency to show off.

That's why I often teach this brat a lesson, hoping to teach him a lesson he'll remember.

Although the other person's personality has obvious flaws, it is really hard to dislike him. He has a sincere passion for the village, ninjas, comrades, and Hokage.

This made her, who witnessed all of this, extremely worried that one day she too would receive news of the other's death.

"Ah! Toshiro-senpai, you've come too!"

"Please take a seat, we've been waiting for you..."

When the door to the private room was opened, Rin, who turned around to look, was the first to notice Toshiro's arrival and quickly greeted him.

At the same time, he gave Toshiro a somewhat apologetic smile, seemingly as apologizing for his companion and his teacher's wife's rude behavior!

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

After exchanging greetings, he was somewhat surprised by the scene inside the private room. He hadn't expected that even their teachers and their wives would come along.

This is quite surprising!

With a slow press, Toshiro sat down in the empty seat and greeted his tablemates, Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake.

As for Obito and Kushina, those two are still locked in a fierce battle, their foreheads touching, neither willing to give in.

Completely unaware of Toshiro's arrival...

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh! Kushina isn't usually like this~"

As Kushina's boyfriend, Minato Namikaze quickly spoke up, trying to salvage his girlfriend's image.

He spoke while awkwardly laughing. He knew that in his current state, his words weren't very convincing...

"Not at all! Seeing how much Kushina-senpai cares about Obito makes me feel much more at ease~"

He hadn't expected that it would be just an ordinary gathering. He had thought it would only be Toshiro and Kakashi, those three kids, but he hadn't expected that these two would also be drawn out.

While greeting Minato Namikaze, he glanced at Kushina's red hair across from him and remarked that it was exactly the same as in the TV series, and it was indeed dazzlingly red!

"What are you looking at!"

"Hmph! You have a problem with my red hair too?"

Kushina Uzumaki, who was arguing with Obito nearby, felt annoyed that someone was paying attention to her hair color.

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she was extremely sensitive; she sensed it as soon as the other person glanced at her.

If she hadn't sensed no malice, she wouldn't have just given the other person a quick retort; she would have made sure they knew that the title "Red Pepper" wasn't given lightly.

"I never expected it to be Miss Uzumaki graced us with her presence~"

"I was truly rude just now; I was merely recalling some old memories!"

"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Having already found solace in Minato Namikaze, Kushina, no longer as sensitive as she was as a child, refrained from relentlessly pursuing him, seeing his understanding nature.

If it were according to her old temper, she would have given the other person a good lesson if he had just glanced at her.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin!"

Seeing that his girlfriend didn't fly into a rage, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. He knew all too well that those classmates who had a "prejudice" against Kushina's hair ended up in a rather miserable state.

Upon seeing Toshiro arrive, who had been invited, she quickly interrupted the two who were still fooling around.

Their attendance at this dinner together was completely accidental.

When Lin told him the news after completing the mission, he didn't expect to participate in their activities.

However, Kushina, who was standing to the side, became quite lively after hearing this. She had been feeling quite stifled in Konoha and finally had some time to relax, so he didn't try to stop her.

After all, as a Jinchūriki, Kushina had to go through layers of approval every time she went out on a mission, which was quite troublesome.

At the same time, in order to protect her safety, the number of missions is also quite small.

It would be good to cheer her up.
