The next morning, Kosuke woke up early as usual.

The sky was gray and not bright yet, it was very quiet outside, and even the servants hadn't gotten up yet.

In the past, he was the first to wake up among all the people in the family. He would get up early to go to the dojo to train. This was something he had to do regardless of rain or shine over the years.

But on this day, he didn't do that.

The biological clock he had developed over the years made him wake up at the same time, but he didn't move and just lay on the bed like that.

Seeing the light getting brighter and brighter, and hearing the movement of people walking back and forth outside, he knew it was getting late.

But he still didn't move.

Kosuke was thinking that maybe in a short while, his father Danzo would kick in the door with a dark face, then drag him out of the bed by his front, and sternly ask him why he was slacking off.

Kosuke waited and waited, but he didn't wait until his father came in. Just when he was confused, there was a small sound at the door of the room.

With a secret snort, Kosuke felt that he had guessed correctly, his father was coming.

The door was not kicked in. The person outside opened the door gently. To my surprise, the person who came was my mother.

She walked in with the medicine box and visibly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Kosuke had woken up early.

"Were you seriously injured last night?" she asked distressedly.

Kosuke was a little puzzled and asked, "How did mother know?"

His mother didn't hide it from him, "I woke up this morning and saw that the door was broken. Your father said it was you... He asked me to come and see if you were seriously injured."

"..."

The wound is not too deep, and it will be fine after simple disinfection and bandaging.

During this period, Kosuke remained silent. He was absent-minded and wandering, not knowing what he was thinking until his mother finished everything and stood up to leave.

"Father...Father, isn't he angry?"

The mother was stunned for a moment, then realized what her son was referring to. She looked at him gently and shook her head, "Although your father is always very strict with you and some of his methods are very tough, Yusuke, no matter what, you are His only child, he will not harm you.”

"..."

What his mother said was the same as what he had never said before. Kosuke could recite these words backwards and forwards.

Parents never care about what their children think or what their children want. They will only impose their will on their children, claiming that they will not harm you and are doing it for your own good.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

His mother saw the disappointment on his face, but she still said nothing.

Kosuke looked at the skylight outside the window and wondered, would his father really care about him? His own life was so tiring, why would he want to let his son continue to be tired?

He didn't understand.

~

The fact that Kushina and Minato were in love was not a secret, it was already public among their peers, and it was impossible for Naoki not to know about it.

However, Naoki knew Kosuke's thoughts, which inevitably made him feel a little sympathy for Kosuke.

For two consecutive days, Naoki didn't see Kosuke on the school grounds. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to Shimura Mansion to see what was going on with him. The Shimura Kosuke he knew was not a lazy person.

Kosuke deliberately chose the time after breakfast. At this time, Kosuke's terrifying father Danzo would rarely be at home.

As expected, Nozuki didn't see Danzo when he went there, which made him relax a lot.

Kosuke's mother was sitting on the porch knitting a sweater. She smiled habitually when she saw the rope tree.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Naoki. Are you here to see Yusuke?"

Naoshu nodded and said hello to her.

Kosuke's mother was very gentle, and Naoki wondered how such a gentle woman could live with a gloomy and terrifying guy like Danzo. Fortunately, Kosuke followed his mother. If he followed his father... he couldn't imagine it.

"Xingsuke is in the room. He has had some disputes with his father in the past two days and is a little depressed. Naoki, please help me persuade him."

Naoki agreed and went to Kosuke's room. When he knocked on the door and entered, Kosuke was lying on the bed in a daze with his hands behind his head.

"I thought something happened to you. It turns out you were just lazy at home, but it's really you."

Kosuke looked at him and smiled slightly, "I'll be lazy like this a lot in the future, you have to get used to it."

When he said this, Shengshu suddenly didn't know what to say and sat down next to him in confusion.

"By the way...Kousuke, you and your father..."

Kosuke was stunned, "Why do you ask that?"

"I met your mother in the corridor when I came here. She said..."

Yusuke let out a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's nothing, I just said something that angered him. In the future, this kind of thing should happen more often. It's no surprise."

Naoki looked at Kosuke's indifferent expression and felt that he was very different now than before, as if he didn't care if the sky fell. He had lost interest in everything and had no goal to work hard for.

It is really incomprehensible for a person who has always been very self-disciplined and motivated to suddenly become like this.

"I," Kosuke said with a smile, "I just don't want to be a puppet anymore."

"..."

"It has been 20 years since I gained the ability to understand. I have been trying to do things to please my father. Now, I suddenly don't want to do that anymore."

"Can you really do it?"

"Maybe," he twitched the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, "I can't get what I want, and the person I like... Rope Tree, I suddenly feel very tired, and want to find another way to live."

Naoki looked a little embarrassed, Yukisuke, he really knew about Kushina and Minato.

"Sometimes it only takes a moment to understand something. I was thinking, maybe I will die during a mission. If I have been so depressed before I die, I will regret it."

"Aren't you afraid of your father?"

Afraid?

He was afraid when he was a child, but later he cared too much. Now, he was suddenly relieved.

"The relationship between father and son shouldn't be one of flattery, right?"

Shengshu has nothing to say. Yes, the relationship between father and son should never be a flattering relationship, but should be equal emotional contribution and return.

"What about Kushina?"

When Kushina was mentioned, the smile on Yusuke's face gradually disappeared.

"She has never liked me. It's my problem. I am hesitant, indecisive, timid and cowardly. Even if I confess... I won't succeed."

Seeing Kosuke like this, Naoki felt sad for some reason.

Kosuke was right, and so was Kushina. Minato was a good man. If you look at it from Kushina's perspective, this was a very good marriage.

The two of them had gone through so much, and Minato entered Kushina's heart step by step based on his ability.

He murmured in a low voice, "Kushina, you are so good. It is her loss that Kushina cannot see your kindness. Yusuke is so good, even if it is not Kushina, there will be other good girls..."

Kosuke seemed to be really comforted. He raised his hand and patted Naoki's shoulder. He nodded, "Well, my love for Kushina ended here, but she did give me courage. Naoki, let's There will be good girls in the future, and they will only like our good girls."

I said this to Shengshu, but I also said it to myself.

Even if he doesn't know when this will happen in the future.

However, the courage gained through Kushina is real. No one is born like this. Kushina's life has ushered in a new chapter, and he should be able to do it too.

In the lair of the underground root organization, Danzo sat there with his eyes closed, and underneath him was a ninja wearing a beast-head mask.

"Kushina is currently dating a boy named Namikaze Minato. Namikaze Minato has a very good resume among the ninjas of his generation. However, he was born as a commoner and does not have a strong family background to back him up. If anything, he is good. In terms of connections, it’s probably that his jounin role went from being an irregular person at the beginning to Jiraiya later on.”

Hearing Jiraiya's name, Danzo opened his sinister eyes, "Oh? Jiraiya?"

The other party nodded, "Namikaze Minato, Akimichi Choza, and Aburame Shiwei, the three of them became Jiraiya's students after the war. However, Jiraiya was not a qualified Jonin and rarely took them out. Task."

The ninja wearing the beast-head mask continued to talk about Kushina and Minato, but Danzo couldn't listen anymore.

It's really ridiculous that his son Shimura Kosuke lost to a young boy with no family background.

"Minato Namikaze, please pay attention to this person from now on."

"Lord Danzo?" The lower ninja didn't quite understand what Danzo meant. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Minato.

Danzo looked at him expressionlessly, as if he could see into his heart through the holes in his eyes.

"Yes, just pay attention literally."

The boss has spoken, and as a subordinate, he can only obey orders, although he feels a little confused.
