Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

[Homecoming Water Gate Progress: 2/10]

The familiar notification sound rang out again. As he watched the progress numbers on the panel increase, a knowing smile appeared on his face as he sat in his office.

Yes, he's at work.

The teaching session, originally scheduled for this morning, was temporarily changed to the afternoon.

The reason is simple—he anticipated that Minato Namikaze would launch a surprise inspection.

From the moment the other party first used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return home, the seed of doubt was planted. And what he had to do was let this feeling of uncertainty continue.

If Minato Namikaze had come home and found him cooking with Kushina Uzumaki, he probably wouldn't have suspected anything. If Kushina had explained their relationship, the misunderstanding would have been easily cleared up.

But that wasn't the result he wanted.

Only by making Minato Namikaze miss his target as much as possible will his doubts grow and deepen.

After all, people won't feel at ease until they see it with their own eyes; they won't be satisfied until they do.

Looking at the progress on the panel, he composed himself and looked back at the documents on the desktop in front of him.

Analysis and assessment of ****'s personality and home arrival time.

The above clearly states that the probability of the other party making a surprise return home this morning is as high as 87%, while the probability in the afternoon is as low as 23%.

"What are you looking at?" came Uzuki Yuhi's voice from behind. Shinzuki Seiun calmly put away the documents and said, "Nothing."

"Work-related matters."

"Work-related matters?" Uzuki Yuhi asked with a suspicious look.

When did Shenyue Xingyun become so concerned about work? Could it be his work schedule?

Forget it, she couldn't be bothered with those things.

She has something more important to do now: "Close the door, I have an important report to give you."

……

"Kushina, this is a chili pepper from the Land of Wind. Although it doesn't look very appealing, it tastes quite good."

"It's very spicy, but also has a rich aroma. Would you like to try it?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "Hiss~" "So spicy, so spicy."

"Nebula, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "What are you saying? I'm teaching you how to appreciate the differences between different ingredients."

...

"Kushina, a Jonin, must pour a lot of emotion into cooking dishes that move people."

"What, you don't understand?"

"Feelings are... passion! Passionate, you know?"

"Perhaps you can exercise first and sweat it out; that will make you feel much better."

"Oh, right, Kushina, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of at home. I'll head back first. You can contact them yourself."

"Remember, exercise, exercise, passion! Keep the passion alive!"

Minato Namikaze's house.

Shinzuki Seiun patiently taught Uzumaki Kushina tips and tricks to take her cooking skills to the next level.

Whether it's tasting spicy food or exercising to get into shape, Shenyue Xingyun always finds a reason to leave when things are almost over.

"Whoosh!~"

A figure flashed through the bedroom, and Minato Namikaze appeared in the same spot.

He opened his senses again and felt Kushina Uzumaki's aura... which was not very stable.

"Minato!?" Kushina Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise; "Why are you back again?"

"Did you forget your documents again?"

Minato Namikaze felt a sudden pang in his heart as he looked at Kushina Uzumaki, whose face was covered in sweat.

He tried his best to calm his turbulent emotions and said, "Hmm."

"I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, and I'm always forgetting things."

Kushina Uzumaki: "Looks like I'm too tired."

"Minato, you must take good care of yourself. Don't worry, don't worry about things at home, I'm here."

Minato Namikaze stared intently at the hot sweat on Kushina Uzumaki's face.

How can I not worry?

"Kushina, what are you doing? Why are you sweating so much?"

"Oh, you mean sweat?" Kushina Uzumaki said. "I just ate chili peppers."

"The chili peppers from the Land of Wind have a very unique flavor. Would you like to try some?"

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki hold up the chili pepper in front of her, the pungent spiciness made Minato Namikaze lean back and quickly refuse.

"no need."

"Kushina, I remember you didn't really like chili peppers before? Why did you suddenly want to eat chili peppers?"

Kushina Uzumaki's nickname is "Red Hot Chili Pepper," so she has never liked chili peppers. What's wrong with her today?

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "Nebula made me try it."

He said that chili peppers play a big role in cooking, and even if you can't eat spicy food, you can still make delicious dishes with chili peppers.

"Shingetsu Nebula..." Minato Namikaze said calmly, "How did you get in touch with him?"

Kushina Uzumaki noticed that Minato Namikaze's tone seemed a little different than usual.

However, she didn't care. After all, although she had secretly admired it, she was still focused on learning to cook.

Have a clear conscience.

She laughed and said, "I ran into him at Mikoto's house."

"Let me tell you, you have no idea how amazing that guy's cooking skills are."

"I've never eaten anything so delicious in my entire life."

"So I asked him to teach me how to cook, so I can cook for you when I've learned."

"Really?" Minato Namikaze's heart finally calmed down, and he felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words.

“Of course,” Kushina Uzumaki said proudly, “I have improved a lot.”

"Just you wait, it won't be long before I surprise you!"

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

"I'm going to work now, you continue...practicing."

Minato Namikaze is gone.

He believed Kushina Uzumaki's explanation to a large extent. After all, they had known each other for many years, and he felt that what he had imagined before was indeed unlikely to happen.

As for Genma Shiranui's covert protection... let's just continue with it.

After all, there's still a chance of something unexpected happening.

In the following days, Shinzuki Seiun continued to teach Uzumaki Kushina how to cook.

To his surprise, Minato Namikaze did not launch any more surprise attacks in the following days.

"Has the misunderstanding been cleared up?" Shenyue Xingyun wondered.

"That won't do!"

"What will happen to my mission if the misunderstanding is cleared up?"

After some thought, Shenyue Xingyun changed her battle plan.

The teaching time for Kushina Uzumaki will be postponed.

Based on the approximate time when Minato Namikaze would return home, he scheduled the teaching sessions before Minato went home.

Kushina Uzumaki was somewhat puzzled by this, but Nebula Kamui provided a very reasonable explanation.

"Your cooking skills have reached the practical training stage. The lesson will be postponed so that Lord Minato can have a hot meal when he returns."

Kushina Uzumaki thought about it and realized that made the same sense.

Subsequently, their teaching time was postponed.

Shingetsu Nebula even created a shadow clone to sense when Minato Namikaze would leave work from a distance near the Hokage Building. As soon as Minato headed home, the clone would slip away.

After several attempts, Minato Namikaze started to panic again!

Chapter 296 Minato's Violent Tendencies

Minato Namikaze suddenly realized that men don't only feel distressed when they come home to find the food cold.

He would still feel uneasy if the food was hot, but one of the cooks had just left.

"Kushina." After being told once again that 'Nebula just left,' Minato Namikaze could no longer contain himself and asked in confusion, "Nebula... why is he in such a hurry to go back?"

"Didn't you invite him to stay for dinner?"

"After all... he's worked hard these past few days."

Kushina Uzumaki said, "I'll keep it."

"Unfortunately, he refused. Xingyun told me that his younger brother and girlfriend were waiting for him to come back and cook, so I felt bad for insisting that he stay."

"Oh, I see~" Minato Namikaze said with a smile.

Kushina Uzumaki: "Alright, come and try my cooking."

"I put in a lot of effort."

Minato Namikaze nodded, preparing to praise Kushina Uzumaki's cooking no matter how it tasted.
