Konoha's Embrace of Shadows

"Let me know that you are hanging out with this old pervert Jiraiya again, and I won't let you go..biquge"

After Kushina left her last words, she entered the state of confinement again. Genji had to complain about Kushina's confinement being a bit arbitrary!

But Jiraiya never came to Genji after that. It wasn't until a few days later that Genji heard from Tsunade that Jiraiya had accepted the instructions of the Sandaime Hokage and became a commander on the front line.

For this reason, Genji also sighed several times. He had already fallen a lot in Jiraiya's corruption, and it was a bit uncomfortable to lose such a scapegoat all of a sudden!

Time passed slowly, and Kushina's three-month imprisonment was finally over.

"Let's go and ask the third-generation old man for money!"

Kushina, who had just been released from the dark room, still remembered the small task of locking her in, and led Genji into Hiruzen Sarutobi's office in an aggressive manner.

In fact, as soon as Kushina appeared under the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already realized what Kushina was here for.

Before Kushina could speak, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already taken out some money and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the reward for your C-level mission."

Kushina counted the money, it was really one hundred thousand taels, every penny was a lot. She didn't expect that the old man was so generous and didn't think twice about handing the money into Genji's hands.

She is not short of money, so she doesn't care about this little money.

Genji smiled broadly, he finally had the fist blade, it was not easy!

"Kushina-sensei, let's go."

He couldn't help but urge Kushina, wanting to hurry up and go to the ninja tool shop to customize the fist blade, but something happened later!

And Kushina looked at the amiable Hiruzen Sarutobi with confusion, always feeling that Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a good mood today.

"Old man, what's wrong? Are you in such a good mood?"

"Ha, you've seen it, it's really good. Recently, good news has come one after another on the front line of the Kingdom of Thunder. Even the Cloud Ninja has temporarily given up the idea of ​​starting a war."

"Yeah, this is really a good thing. Is the Kingdom of Thunder Minato?"

Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up. She was very aware of her boyfriend's strength. His elusive flying thunder god technique was like a harvester on the battlefield.

"Yes, a large part of it is because of Minato's team. Therefore, I have agreed to his request to return to Konoha to rest for a month."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also confirmed Kushina's idea, and he even began to build momentum for Minato. A spiritual leader was needed on the battlefield to boost one's own morale and make the enemy frightened.

For Kushina, the last sentence was the great news. She had indeed not seen Minato for a long time.

But Kushina, who was not happy for a long time, suddenly thought that Minato was able to receive praise from Sarutobi Hiruzen because he had undoubtedly completed many important tasks, and there might even be the highest S-class among them.

This made her very unhappy again. In her opinion, the two were both lovers and competitors. If Minato showed off in front of her after he came back, it would be difficult for her to control the ancient power in her body.

Thinking of this, Kushina began to pat Sarutobi Hiruzen's table again.

"Sandaime old man, if there are any S-level missions, I will take one now. It must be one that can be completed before Minato comes back."

How could he not be clear about Kushina's little thoughts? When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this!"

"Don't say that, you know I will be very unhappy when I see Minato, and if I am unhappy, the whole of Konoha may be very unhappy!"

Is this a threat?

This is the threat!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the malicious Kushina and fell into silence. He spoke for a long time, but Kushina didn't rush him and just looked at him like that.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Speaking of which, I do have an S-level mission here!"

"What is it?"

"This is an S-level mission sent by a sealing ninjutsu development team in the Ninjutsu R&D Department. They hope to create a large-scale sealing ninjutsu. Thinking about it this way, Kushina, you can really try it with your skills in sealing jutsu."

"No need to try, it's just this mission, tell me the specific requirements!"

Kushina is confident in developing sealing ninjutsu.

"Okay, that's it"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly stated the mission requirements.

Genji had heard of the Ninjutsu Research and Development Department. There was indeed such a department in Konoha that specialized in the study of Ninjutsu, but he had never heard that there was a sealing Ninjutsu development class among them.

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's erratic eyes and the way he racked his brains when explaining the requirements of this sealing ninjutsu, there was no doubt that he was making up a temporary mission.

It's really hard for him.

Genji glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a sympathetic expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also noticed Genji's eyes, and then looked at Genji with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Genji nodded silently, agreeing not to tell Kushina.

After Kushina quietly listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's nonsense, she pulled Genji and hurried away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the house, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope I can trick Minato into coming back."
