Konoha: Who's the good guy?

"Jing, who just came by?"

Kushina used the back of her hand to cool down her still burning cheeks as she asked through the kitchen door.

"My appointment letter for the Anbu should arrive soon."

"Huh? Wasn't he just transferred to a regular combat team? Where is he going to be assigned this time?"

"Guess what? If you guess right, you get a prize; if you guess wrong, you have to kiss me!"

"Hehe~ I'm not stupid! The Dark Division coming to notify you must be a fairly important department. You just came out of the Analysis Class, so it's unlikely you'll be transferred back. It must be the Intelligence Department or the Perception Barrier Class?"

"Wait a minute! Come on, a bet's a bet, open the door and give me a kiss."

"Oh dear, didn't we just come here?"

Kushina watched as the locked kitchen door was easily opened by Yamanaka Kei using a key made of earth-style chakra.

Her pretty face, which hadn't completely cooled down, turned red again.

"How can they be the same?"

Yamanaka Kei embraced Kushina's waist.

Let's savor the delicious food again.

This kind of thing might not seem interesting to long-married couples, but young couples can never get enough of it.

A burnt smell of food wafted to their noses.

Kushina lightly punched Yamanaka Kei's chest twice before rushing to try and salvage the food in the pot.

"Now you should tell me where you're going to work."

"Not guessing anymore?"

"No guessing, no guessing. I'm not going to fall into the same trap twice."

"Didn't you just say you weren't stupid?"

"Hmph~ It's precisely because I'm not stupid that I'm not guessing! You bad guy, you keep making me guess, it must be something I can't figure out."

Kushina wrinkled her little nose and made a face at Yamanaka Kei.

Her charming and adorable appearance makes one want to pinch her delicate, flawless face.

"It's the root."

Yamazakage smiled and spoke.

Clang~

Kushina's mouth opened slightly, and she lost her grip on the spatula, which fell into the pot.

She turned back to look at her boyfriend with a worried expression.

"Without the Seal of Extinction of the Tongue, and as a vice minister with real power, the Third Hokage probably wants to use me to check Danzo. As for Danzo, he probably has his own ulterior motives, but it's not a big problem."

The mountain scenery was explained.

"If you're going to deal with Danzo, remember to call me! I recently struck a deal with that stinky fox! Hehe~ I'll show you what true invincibility looks like then!"

Kushina's eyes were frighteningly bright.

Raise your right arm, trying to show off your biceps.

Her arms were just slender and fair, and they didn't really have much strength.

On the contrary, the 'criminal' found it quite adorable.

If it weren't for the sound of the door opening, the little tomato in front of me would probably have been caught in the clutches of the thugs.

"Kushina, with another little brat eating, cook an extra bowl. Kei, make arrangements later, I've been a bit bored these past few days, you know?"

Tsunade, with a small slug on her head, walked barefoot into the living room.

He pulled me over to the mountain view in the kitchen.

If she hadn't been so busy all morning and was starving, she would have loved to skip dinner and go have some fun!

Las Vegas!

It's such a wonderful place that she longs for!

"I understand."

Yamanaka Kei looked at Tsunade's usually beautiful face, which now appeared somewhat lewd under her winking and gesturing, and sighed helplessly.

Damn it.

Can't we just make good use of this face?

And the way you're talking, anyone who didn't know better would think I was going to take you to a brothel!

"Senior Kei, Senior Kushina, excuse me."

Kakashi Hatake changed into the slippers prepared for the guests at the entrance, walked into the living room with dead fish eyes, and bowed respectfully to Kei Yamanaka and Kushina.

"Don't look at me. This kid lost another teammate on a mission. The old man told me to help him calm down. What do I know how to calm down? I heard you're back, so I brought you back to give you a try."

Tsunade, looking impatient, half-reclined on the sofa next to her.

She is indeed a medical ninja, but Kakashi's problem is neither physical nor mental.

It's obvious that he harbors resentment because of Sakumo-senpai's death.

What's the use of giving it to her?

It would be better to add more illusions to the mountain scenery.

"Is Rin Nohara dead? Or is Obito dead?"

Yamanaka Kei's eyes twitched, and he turned to look at Kakashi, who seemed rather listless.

"...An unfamiliar Konoha ninja."

Kakashi felt uncomfortable being stared at by the mountain scenery, so he turned his head away and answered quietly.

Recently, Minato-sensei has been undertaking highly difficult tasks.

Their team couldn't keep up with Minato's pace, so they were naturally left behind.

Ten days ago, the Third Hokage suddenly ordered them to join forces with another team to carry out a mission.

The Chunin leading that squad didn't listen to his advice and acted recklessly with Obito, and the squad members weren't very strong.

Isn't it normal for two people to die?

In the end, he was the one who completed that task.

He didn't understand why this responsibility had fallen on his shoulders.

"Tell me about the process?"

When Yamanaka Kei heard that it wasn't Nohara Rin and Obito, he felt relieved.

Since I had nothing better to do, I asked about the whole story.

"..."

Kakashi stared directly into Yamanaka Kei's eyes, remaining silent.

According to the Konoha Ninja Management Regulations, C-rank missions are already required to be kept secret from unauthorized personnel.

For B-rank missions, it is necessary to first submit a report to the Hokage's office and obtain the Hokage's approval.

"Shall we start with the Hokage giving you a mission?"

Yamanaka thought he didn't know where to start, so she proactively suggested a time slot.

"...Confidentiality regulations."

"grass!"

The mountain scenery, which was almost choked to death by those four words, was so angry that it made her laugh.

Honestly, after being a ninja for so many years...

He always talks casually about tasks below A-level, but whispers about S-level tasks.

This is truly the first time I've ever seen Kakashi so stubborn!

I organized my words.

He spoke up again.

"I think your problem right now is a lack of effective communication. You need to take a few language arts classes first, and then we can address this issue of your mindset."

"..."

Kakashi frowned slightly, but still nodded in agreement.

Tsunade, who was reclining on the sofa waiting for dinner, almost burst out laughing when she saw Kakashi starting to torment Yamanaka Kei.

very good!

Finally, she's not the only one suffering!

"Let me play you a piece before we eat."

Yamanaka Kei held his forehead with one hand, realizing for the first time how exhausting it was to communicate with people.

Magical Naraku's Appearance Technique - Modified!

One-handed hand seal.

A modified D-rank illusion technique pulled Kakashi directly into the illusion.

Glancing at his system interface, Shan Zhongjing gave instructions to the system.

"System, bestow the [Master of Comedy] title upon Kakashi."

It's a green-themed entry after all, so we definitely can't send cannon fodder characters to it.

Moreover, Kakashi's way of speaking—so utterly unreliable, and when he does manage to utter something, it's so suffocating—is incredibly frustrating for him.

A pale green light, visible only in the mountain scenery, quickly merged into Kakashi's body.

Kakashi, caught in the illusion and experiencing intense emotional fluctuations with constantly changing expressions, failed to notice anything amiss.

"What kind of illusion did you cast on him?"

Seeing that Kakashi had been under a genjutsu for less than two seconds, and was now clutching his stomach and kneeling on the ground in obvious pain, Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked him a question.

"The revamped Naraku-sight technique, in addition to the effect of psychological fear, also interferes with the five senses: sight, hearing, and pain. Its difficulty of operation is probably above B-rank? The strength of the illusion... well, anyway, he can't break it."

"I'm asking about the content."

"The care and love from my father."

"...As expected of you."

When Tsunade heard that it was a father beating his son, the corners of her mouth widened even more.

I've been tormented by this brat all morning.

Should!
