Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious.
Lin Ye asked in confusion, "Who is this person?"
He has no money, is not a ninja, and has no system, so how can he get married?
However, marrying into the family would be acceptable, albeit reluctantly.
"This woman is named Kushina Uzumaki, and she is the most beautiful woman in Konoha Village."
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly spoke.
"Holy crap, wasn't Kushina Minato's wife? She just died, and you're already marrying her off. That's really insidious."
Besides, how could I, a fine young man, marry a widow, especially one with a child?
Lin Ye's face darkened, and he looked troubled: "Third Hokage, isn't this inappropriate? Kushina is, after all, the wife of the Fourth Hokage."
“It’s decided then. Minato just died, and I have to think about his wife and children. You are one of the few bachelors in the village, honest, and handsome, making you the most suitable person to take care of him.”
"By the way, you need to report to me immediately if she makes any move."
"Damn it, those damned third-generation bastards, how dare they say I'm an honest man? I'm really not taking this bait."
"Lin Ye, you already know my secret. If you don't agree, do you know the consequences?"
Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw through his thoughts.
"Sigh~"
Lin Ye shuddered. He had almost forgotten that this was the Naruto world, and a slight mistake could cost him his life.
He had experienced this firsthand three days ago. At that time, the Nine-Tails was resurrected, like a world-destroying demon. Countless ninjas were wiped out. Fortunately, he hid in Ichiraku Ramen that day and survived.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye quickly greeted him with a smile: "Respected Hokage, since it is a task assigned by you, I have no choice but to do it. However, I have a question in my mind."
Why did you choose me? After all, I'm just a commoner, and I don't know any ninjutsu.
"Haha! I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly burst into laughter: "The reason I sent you to monitor Kushina is because you are a commoner. Just think about it, Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If a ninja were sent there, how could she not notice?"
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
He cursed inwardly again, realizing he was now completely on the wrong side.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi had revealed this secret, how could he dare to refuse?
"Lin Ye, you should go back first! Kushina will be delivered to your home tomorrow. Remember, you must not force yourself on her."
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I guarantee to complete the mission."
Lin Ye said seriously.
He thought to himself, Kushina's nickname is Blood Red Hot Chili Pepper, how could he dare to be presumptuous?
"Alas! The hard times are about to begin."
Lin Ye sighed inwardly.
...
After Lin Ye left, Shimura Danzo, whose head was wrapped in a white cloth, emerged from the shadows.
"Sarutobi, is this person really reliable?"
"Don't worry, his parents used to be my guards, but unfortunately they died on the battlefield. This is a small compensation for him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi responded calmly.
"What do you plan to do about the Uchiha clan? They were the ones who caused this Nine-Tails incident."
Danzo's eyes were filled with a coldness.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "The matter has not yet been investigated, so do not jump to conclusions. The village has already lost over a hundred ninjas, and we cannot afford to have internal strife."
"But what if the Uchiha clan rebels?"
"Danzo, do you think I don't know about your underhanded dealings? We'll talk about this later."
"Hmph! Sarutobi, you...you'll regret this."
After saying this, Danzo left in a huff.
......
Konoha Ninja Hospital.
Third floor, room 306.
"Kushina, I'm entrusting Naruto to you from now on. I... will always love you!"
"Ah! No...no, Minato, don't leave me."
Kushina woke up from a nightmare, her red hair disheveled and her eyes filled with tears.
What happened three days ago is still etched in her memory.
"Waaah... Minato, why won't you let me die with you?"
"Wow~Wow~"
Just then, the cry of a baby broke her sorrowful expression.
"Oh, right, I also have Naruto. Don't worry, Minato, I will definitely raise him."
Kushina wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with unwavering determination.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Please come in!"
"Old man of three generations, what brings you here?"
Kushina looked at him with a pained expression.
"Ah! If only I could also use the Reaper Death Seal, then Minato wouldn't have to die."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, his words filled with self-reproach.
“It’s not your fault, this is his own choice.”
Kushina, lying in the hospital bed, offered a word of comfort.
The next second, he asked again, "Old man of three generations, what's the matter?"
She wasn't stupid; since the other party had come to her personally, it must be something important.
"Cough cough!"
"It is like this: now that Minato is dead, for your and Naruto's safety, I have decided to marry you off to a commoner so that he can take care of you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed and spoke his mind.
"roll!"
"You old man of three generations, Minato's body is barely cold, and you're already forcing his wife to remarry. Tell me, what exactly are you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately launched into a tirade of curses.
She initially thought the other person was concerned about her, but little did she know they had ill intentions.
Chapter 3 Marrying
"Kushina, don't get agitated. I'm doing this for your own good. We can't just let Naruto be born without a father, can we?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly offered an explanation.
"Humph!"
Kushina Uzumaki snorted coldly: "Third Hokage, I can take care of Naruto myself. I don't need your concern."
"Hey! To tell you the truth, according to reliable sources, the men in black are very likely to come to the village again. For your and Naruto's safety, I have to do this."
"Don't worry, you and Lin Ye are only husband and wife in name only. If he dares to bully you, I will never forgive him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes and came up with a reason that even he himself didn't believe.
Actually, the main reason he arranged for Kushina to marry was because he was worried that the Nine-Tails would come out and cause trouble again. That's why he asked Lin Ye to keep an eye on her so that he could report any accidents in time.
He originally planned to send his ANBU to protect her in secret, but then he gave up. As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and a member of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina had amazing sensory abilities, and he would probably be discovered before he even got close to her.
This would have the opposite effect.
"You...you're telling the truth?"
A hint of worry flashed in Kushina's eyes.
Although she wasn't afraid of the men in black, Naruto was still young. What if something happened to him? How would she explain it to Minato?
"Kushina, would I lie to you? You'll move there tomorrow. As for your original house, you can no longer live there; the village has decided to confiscate it."
“You old man from three generations, if you dare to lie to me, I’ll make you pay.”
Kushina nodded through gritted teeth.
For Naruto's sake, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Minato, I'm sorry. You just died, and I'm about to get married. I hope you can forgive me from beyond the grave!"
"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll go with you tomorrow."
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly walked out of the room.
...
"Waaah... Minato, what should I do? What should I do?"
"Kushina, what exactly happened?"
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful mature woman with long, straight black hair walked over, her face showing concern.
"Waaah... Mikoto-nee, the Third Generation just came by. He forced me to marry someone."
"How could he... how could he do this? I'm going to confront him."
Mikoto Uchiha was furious, her face turning bright red.
