Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Kushina was still worried and left Tsunade, who was under the influence of genjutsu, in the courtyard.

After kindly moving her back to the guest room and setting up a simple protective barrier, the two of them went out together to the Senju old house.

As for dispelling the illusion?

Stop messing around, how can we have some alone time if we untie this?

Yamanaka Kei and Kushina walked hand in hand to the Senju old house.

Despite the distant, disgusted, and fearful gazes of the surrounding villagers.

Kushina didn't even glance at those people again.

Grandma Mito once said that when her heart was filled with love, she would never feel lonely or afraid because of her status as a Jinchūriki.

"Grandma Mito, look, I'm not lonely or scared anymore!"

Kushina Uzumaki stood in front of the Senju mansion and murmured softly.

In an instant, with a bright smile on her face, she pulled Yamanaka Kei along and quickly ran into the old house.

"By the way, Kushina, Minato and I brought back one of your clansmen from this mission. She's a girl about your age."

As Yamanaka Kei helped Kushina pack her things, he began to talk about the mission.

"Huh?! Really? What's her name? She's new to Konoha, she must be having a hard time adjusting. Should I go keep her company? Does she have a place to stay? She must have suffered a lot out there, Kei, I..."

"Relax, relax, don't rush, I'll tell you slowly. Her name is Honoka Uzumaki, and before she was..."

Yamanaka Kei patted Kushina's little head and, under the gaze of her sparkling eyes, began to talk about Honoka Uzumaki.

Compared to Kushina's experiences, Honoka's early life can be considered fortunate.

When the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, she escaped safely under the protection of her parents. Although she wandered around for a long time, she soon settled in the Land of the Sea.

Because both parents were ninjas, even if they were just ordinary hunters, they could still make a decent living.

Later, by chance, Honoka's parents came into contact with an underground gold exchange and unwittingly ended up on the Summoning Island to help the researchers suppress some uncontrollable summoning beasts.

After her parents passed away three years ago due to injuries sustained during their early years as ninjas, Honoka took over their work, continuing to assist with research on the Shaman Island.

It wasn't until this trip with the mountain scenery and the water gate that she learned that the Spirit Island was being supported by the Hidden Mist.

Because they were saved by Minato, the survivors of the research institute were all packed up and taken to Konoha.

Having nowhere else to go, she naturally followed suit and came here.

"Ew~ This little boy is definitely not a good person. He actually used the 'hero saves the beauty' trick to lure an innocent girl! And he even took her home!"

Kushina wore a disgusted expression, but her worries were largely relieved.

Because of the excellent relationship between Yamanaka Kei and Namikaze Minato, she was also quite familiar with Minato.

Even though I still think this guy is effeminate.

But she also knew that Minato was a very reliable guy to his companions.

If he takes care of Honoka.

I certainly won't let Honoka feel as lost, helpless, lonely, and uneasy as she did when she first came to Konoha.

"Hahaha~ Absolutely! That little boy is no good! Haha~"

Without any psychological burden, Yamanaka Kei chimed in for Kushina.

On the way back, he had complained about Minato more than once, telling him to tone it down in front of him and stop showing off his love all the time.

But that guy just let it go in one ear and out the other.

One second she was agreeing perfectly, and the next she was lying down on her lap as a pillow!

We have to feed each other while eating, and when we're on the road, we either lean on each other or hug each other.

How could this guy be a good person?

"You're not a good person either."

Kushina grinned and made a funny face.

Similarly, the mountain scenery was labeled as not being a good person.

Don't think she doesn't know; among the Konoha ninja of the same generation, this guy has the worst personality.

He's clearly handsome and sunny, but when he plays pranks, he can send chills down your spine.

Those self-created and adapted illusions.

What little flying sticks are here? Here's a T for you! Third Brother's ecstatic game! There are mothers in Zaun! Northern Myanmar comfort delegation! The Shining Curse experience card...

With these names, it would take people to believe he's a good person!

"Finally, you've spoken your mind?"

Yamanaka Kei gently pinched Kushina's nose.

Seeing the girl's charming smile, I couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

"We need to hurry up and pack! Otherwise, if we get back too late, Tsunade might just tear the house apart."

Kushina immediately cowered at that wolf-like gaze.

"Tch, weren't you very brave before?"

"I used to be able to handle any kind of bravery without much trouble, but now I can't be brave at all."

"You're quite proud of yourself?"

"Hmm~"

I was busy for a while.

Kushina packed up eight large boxes of items.

This was only after she packed her own personal belongings; the original furnishings of the Senju ancestral home remained completely untouched.

Otherwise, let alone eight boxes, eighty might not be enough!

"Looks like I'll have to use the Shadow Clone Technique."

Kushina patted the dust off her small hands and was about to form a hand seal when Yamanaka Kei pressed her hand down.

"I'll show you something funny."

Yamanaka Kei took Kushina's right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then placed his palm on her wrist.

Chakra and spatial power converge.

In the blink of an eye, a Flying Thunder God symbol, about the size of a billiard ball, with two arrows rotating clockwise, appeared on her wrist.

"What kind of sealing technique is this? Hmm... it seems to be for maintaining the stability of some kind of power?"

Kushina blinked her big eyes, studying the mark on her wrist.

The Flying Thunder God Mark is essentially a technique that uses chakra to manipulate spatial power and leave spatial coordinates.

Then, a special sealing technique is used to preserve the spatial coordinates.

Although Kushina did not recognize the Flying Thunder God Mark of Yamanaka Kei, she immediately identified its essence.

"Wait, we need to lock this."

Yamanaka Kei quickly formed hand seals and gently placed his palms on Kushina's right wrist.

A small "scene" immediately appeared in the center of the Flying Thunder God mark, and a circle of complex sealing runes appeared on the outer ring of the mark.

"A lock-in seal? And you even wrote your name on it, why? Are you afraid people won't know I'm your girlfriend?"

Kushina's ears turned slightly red, and although her words carried a hint of reproach, her tone was full of joy.

She really likes this behavior of wanting to tell everyone they're together!

"This is my personal Flying Thunder God mark."

Yamanaka Kei was completely powerless against Kushina's coquettish appearance, so he tapped her forehead and explained with a smile.

Locking seal is an intermediate-level seal that can be cleverly integrated into many sealing techniques to form a combined seal.

It is a sealing technique that incorporates locking and sealing techniques, and can only be broken by brute force using chakra.

Otherwise, only the caster himself could use his own chakra to touch the other seal that originally existed inside.

That is to say...

Minato Namikaze was able to sense the Flying Thunder God mark left by the mountain scenery.

But because the outside was locked, his chakra didn't match.

Therefore, it is impossible to move using this marker.

"You're such a boss! Relax, tomorrow when I go to the Jonin waiting area, I'll tell them this is your personal Flying Thunder God Technique... Technique... Flying Thunder God?!"

"Um."

"Lord Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Um."

"...So, even if we're far apart, you can appear beside me instantly?"

"Um!"

"Wow, Jing, you're amazing!"

Kushina wrapped her arms around Yamanaka Kei's neck, showering him with compliments.
