Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 237 Headache

"Minato! What's wrong? Why are you frowning?"

On a street not far from Minato's house in Konoha Village.

A thick, heavy slap landed on Minato Namikaze's shoulder, making a crisp cracking sound.

That wasn't all. The newcomer stretched out his arm and put it on Minato Namikaze's shoulder, showing absolutely no respect for a teacher.

"Ah! Jiraiya-sensei, you've come at the perfect time! I have some questions I'd like to ask you!"

Minato held his easygoing teacher in high esteem, as the latter not only generously shared his knowledge but also provided him with considerable assistance in other areas.

"Oh! There's something else troubling you~"

"Hahaha! It's time for me, the teacher, to show off my skills!"

"Speak! What problem can't be solved? For Jiraiya the Toad Sage, it's all a piece of cake!"

After laughing heartily, Jiraiya, as the teacher, took it all in and didn't even care what the other person was worried about.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go home! Kushina should have lunch ready, perfect for entertaining the teacher!"

After saying that, Minato led the way towards his home.

"Oh! Kushina has moved into your house?"

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! As expected of my disciple, Jiraiya! You haven't disgraced my name!"

"Ha! Ha! It's not as exaggerated as you say, teacher. Kushina just came over to tidy up and cook a meal!"

"Really? Nothing else happened in between?"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya let out a series of incomprehensible laughs.

After laughing, he didn't forget to bump the water gate with his shoulder, while giving the other man a knowing look.

"It was really just a simple tidying up of the room and making a simple lunch; nothing else happened..."

Minato Namikaze was overwhelmed by his teacher's enthusiasm and repeatedly denied it.

He couldn't even care less about the headache he had just been having.

"Really? By the way, when are you and Kushina planning to get down to business?"

Jiraiya naturally didn't believe this, but he didn't continue to make things difficult for his beloved disciple. Instead, he began to inquire about Minato's marriage.

"I'm about to discuss this with Kushina..."

As he walked towards his home, Minato Namikaze dealt with his teacher's concern.

……

"You mean, the Uchiha clan wants to take back Kakashi's Sharingan? If I remember correctly, that brat Obito gave it to Kakashi!"

After a hearty meal and drinks, Minato Namikaze confided his headache to his teacher.

"Yes! The Uchiha clan wants a different gift."

"Given that Kakashi has no parents, and although he's already a Jonin, he's still quite young, they asked me to go and inform him of this matter!"

"This is going to be a bit tricky!"

If they had insisted that this Sharingan was a gift from Obito Uchiha to Kakashi, even if the Uchiha had some objections, the Hokage lineage would have had something to say.

However, now that the other party is only asking for a different gift in exchange for their family's bloodline limit, they don't have any good excuse to refuse.

It's just a gift, what more do you want!

"What about Kakashi? What's that kid thinking?"

There wasn't a good solution, so Jiraiya decided to see what Kakashi thought.

"You know, what the Uchiha said isn't entirely unreasonable. After all, he's not a member of the Uchiha clan. Having a Sharingan like that might be okay when he's young, but once he's past puberty, that eye won't be much of an advantage!"

After inviting Minato Namikaze over, Fugaku Uchiha explained the pros and cons of the matter to Minato.

"Kakashi's attitude was quite firm; he insisted on keeping Obito's eyes!"

Minato Namikaze was somewhat helpless about this. He had just returned from Kakashi's house, where the boy felt extremely guilty about the matter and hoped to keep Obito's gift.

"Furthermore, the Uchiha also pointed out that as the news of Kakashi possessing the Sharingan gradually spread, it was not a good thing for the Uchiha."

"I'm sure the teacher knows about the 'caged bird' incident."

"This~"

If it were just the Uchiha clan, their teacher, the Third Hokage, could handle it.

But when the other party brought up the "caged bird" incident, they were speechless for a moment.

How could he not know about the "Caged Bird" technique developed by Hyuga to prevent others from taking away his Byakugan?

It was precisely because of the "Caged Bird" sealing technique that the entire Hyuga clan became as feudal as it could possibly be.

Even he, who didn't manage much affairs, had heard about the rift between the main family and the branch family.

"Things are getting increasingly complicated!"

Jiraiya scratched his messy hair, realizing he really didn't have any good ideas.

As for the Uchiha, if they were to resort to force, whether it was him, Minato, or Kushina, with the three of them there, he truly didn't care at all.

However, the Uchiha's attitude was sincere, and everything they said made sense. They even brought up the "Caged Bird" incident, so what else could he say?

Looking at Minato and Kushina sitting side by side opposite him, Jiraiya decided that it was better to leave this matter to someone else to worry about!

"Let the old man handle this!"

Since I can't solve my apprentice's problem myself, I might as well pass it on to my teacher.

Given how cunning that old man is, this kind of thing can definitely be resolved satisfactorily.

"Is this really a good idea? I heard the Third Hokage is extremely busy right now, preparing for peace talks with Iwagakure!"

"No problem, the old man is very experienced; he's best at solving these kinds of problems!"

Jiraiya dismissed his disciple's concerns.

"Busy?"

He knew that the old man, in his spare time, had used the ninjutsu that he had been so envious of.

"Well! That's settled then!"

"I'll tell the old man about this!"

He's very busy right now, preparing for the publication of his novel, and doesn't have time to waste on this.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of this matter, teacher!"

After Jiraiya left.

"Kushina! I think we should work together to develop a sealing ninjutsu to solve this problem~"

As the Golden Flash, he wasn't going to sit idly by and wait for things to resolve themselves. He was prepared to use his own efforts to help Kakashi preserve Obito's Sharingan.
