Whether it was cooking or knitting, he shared everything he knew without reservation, patiently answering every question without ever showing impatience.

This sometimes made Kushina Uzumaki wonder how there could be such a patient and good-tempered man in the world.

In comparison, Minato, while he was also good to me, was a bit dull and quiet, and even when I was pregnant, he didn't give me much time.

That evening, Minato Namikaze was once again so busy with work that he forgot the time. When he got home, exhausted, he said to Kushina Uzumaki, "Kushina, pour me a glass of hot milk."

"I'm tired."

Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Minato Namikaze sprawled on the sofa, pursed her lips, and then went to prepare the milk.

Minato Namikaze: "!!!?"

Chapter 294 Sweating profusely

Although it was just a glance, Minato Namikaze was in a sensitive state at the time, and he instantly realized that Kushina Uzumaki's attitude towards him was different from before.

Although the other person had a fiery temper, they were still very caring towards me.

But now, I'm back late, and the other person is strangely unresponsive. Yet, when I just need a glass of hot milk, they act like this.

why?

He didn't understand.

Even after lying in bed, he couldn't help but let his mind wander. It wasn't until Kushina Uzumaki fell asleep with even breathing that he calmed down a bit.

It should be fine.

If there were other things going on, given Kushina Uzumaki's inability to keep secrets, she wouldn't be sleeping so soundly.

Comforting himself, Minato Namikaze also fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, in the afternoon.

Just as Minato Namikaze was focusing on his work, there was a knock at the door.

"Enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Genma Shiranui walked in.

His expression was somewhat solemn. After entering the room, he first scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and then his gaze fell on Minato Namikaze.

He closed the door and approached Minato Namikaze, lowering his voice to say, "Lord Minato, I have a report to give."

Minato Namikaze looked up and noticed that Genma Shiranui's expression was very serious.

Even during the Third Shinobi World War, the enemy rarely had such a solemn expression.

In an instant, Minato Namikaze's heart leaped into his throat.

Sensing that there was no suspicious person outside the door, Minato Namikaze thought for a moment but was still not at ease. He formed a hand seal, creating a soundproof barrier that separated the inside and outside of the office.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Genma Shiranui took a deep breath, then took out a notebook from his ninja tool bag and placed it in front of Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Hokage, this is what I discovered while I was on guard near Lady Kushina."

"In addition, there is information that I obtained on my own; please take a look."

Suppressing his unease, Minato Namikaze held the notebook in front of him.

On [Date], from 21:23 to 6:34, no incidents were reported.

On [Date], from 6:35 AM to 7:10 AM, I ate breakfast.

On [Date], at 7:11 AM, I went to the vegetable market to buy groceries.

On [Date] at 9:6 AM, the Shenyue Nebula arrived.

On [Month] [Day], at 10:38 AM, the Shenyue Nebula departed...

Lines of text accurately recorded Kushina Uzumaki's daily life over 24 hours.

Minato Namikaze quickly scanned the screen, and his eyes narrowed instantly when he saw the words "Shingetsu Nebula"!

Seeing this, Genma Shiranui tried to keep his breathing as low as possible.

Minato Namikaze is still watching.

One day, two days.

Almost every time he left home, Shingetsu Seiun would come. The time was not fixed, and each time Uzumaki Kushina would personally come out to greet him. The records describe Uzumaki Kushina's state as one of joy and excitement.

"Snap!" The paper made a sound under excessive force.

Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched as he continued to roll his eyes backward.

This isn't a record, since Genma Shiranui has just resumed the 'protection' mission. What follows is information that the other party personally gathered.

The record shows the date and approximate duration of Shenyue Nebula's visit to the home not long ago.

Inside the office, the sound of breathing was noticeably louder.

Genma Shiranui had already suppressed his breathing to a minimum, so it was obvious whose it was without even asking.

Minato Namikaze.

His eyelids twitched, and it took immense willpower to suppress the turmoil in his heart so as not to lose his composure in front of his subordinates.

But his heart was still pounding.

During this period of time, the way Shenyue Xingyun looked each time she came to report on her work and left was vividly recalled in my mind.

"Lord Hokage, aren't you going home earlier today?"

"Lord Hokage, you should take care of your health. The village needs you."

"Lord Hokage, I'm leaving now. Remember to go home early."

"Lord Hokage, are you still very busy lately?"

"Rip!" The paper tore open under the force. At the same time, it made Genma Shiranui's heart skip a beat.

He completely, completely, completely understands Minato Namikaze's feelings right now.

If it were him in this situation, he would probably be even more impatient.

After all... that's the Divine Moon Nebula!

The one who looks like a fairy, Shenyue Xingyun, is known to everyone in the village.

Genma Shiranui knew about the Shingetsu Nebula earlier than Minato Namikaze.

After all, he always saw her when they were in school.

From that moment on, Genma Shiranui knew that Shingetsu Seiun was a man he absolutely did not want to be 'enemy'.

During the two years he repeated a year and delayed graduation, he changed girlfriends one after another.

Classmates, senior female students, junior female students, neighborhood aunties... the speed was so fast that it even sparked a betting craze at the school.

The bet was about how long it would take for Shenyue Xingyun to walk with a different woman each time.

The answer is --- it's never the same.

There might be times when they were the same, but the fact that they didn't notice proves the other party's monstrous strength.

But at that time, although the opponent was monstrous, he still had a weakness—his strength was lacking.

A hopeless romantic is looked down upon by guys. Even if girls are swooning over him, there will always be a small minority who look down on his perceived weakness.

But since the Third Shinobi World War, that weakness of the enemy has disappeared.

Handsome to the point of being unfair, powerful enough to be known by all five major nations.

At this moment, Shenyue Nebula has evolved into someone no man wants to mess with. After all, if someone like that became your enemy, you wouldn't dare date a beautiful girlfriend.

At this moment, seeing Minato Namikaze trying so hard to hold back, he suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

So even the venerable Hokage couldn't escape it... Sigh~

"Alright, there's nothing else here, you can go now," Minato Namikaze finally spoke.

The voice was flat, almost deliberately so.

Genma Shiranui nodded and withdrew, reminding him before leaving, "By the way, Hokage-sama."

"According to the records, the time when the Jonin Shingetsu Seiun arrived was probably after nine o'clock in the morning."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "I understand."

"The protection mission continues."

Genma Shiranui left.

The door closed, leaving only Minato Namikaze in the room. The next second, he clenched his fists tightly!

His breathing was heavy and labored.

"Calm down! Calm down."

'It should just be a coincidence, I should just be overthinking it,' Minato Namikaze kept telling himself.

Recalling what Genma Shiranui said before leaving, Minato Namikaze gleaned two layers of meaning from it.

The first level, in the morning, under a clear blue sky, is a time when people generally wouldn't choose to do bad things.

But it's just average.

The second layer is a reminder to him.

If you want to launch a surprise attack, you need to choose the right time.

He looked at the clock on the wall; it was almost ten o'clock.

He took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and then a determined light flashed in his eyes.

The next second, his figure had vanished from the spot.

Chapter 295 Kushina, why are you sweating so much?
