This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 82 Teen Boys and Girls

The last rays of the setting sun had been completely swallowed by the night, and the Senju clan's territory was shrouded in tranquility.

Nishikawa Tetsu was stroking the heavy token in his hand, still thinking about the "Tsunade-hime hemophobia treatment plan" when he stepped out of the vermilion door and saw a... how to say it, rather unique scene.

He was less than five meters away.

Minato Namikaze was carrying a huge scroll, even wider than himself, that smelled faintly of blood and earth. He was bent over slightly by the weight of it, looking like a laborer being exploited by a landlord.

Beside him, Kushina Uzumaki held a bouquet of delicate carnations, her face still flushed with shyness, radiating a pink bubble of "a young girl in love".

A laborer, a young girl, a bouquet of flowers, and a huge scroll.

This combination just doesn't look right.

The three of them locked eyes, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Che?"

Minato straightened up in surprise, the scroll behind him swaying with his movement: "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, isn't this our police advisor and Blood Red Hot... cough, Kushina-san?"

Nishikawa Tetsu quickly put away the token, a signature mocking smile appearing on his face, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.

"So late at night, one person is carrying flowers on their back, and the other is carrying... what's that?"

"What? Are you preparing to inform Lord Mito that you're holding a wedding banquet? Celebrating your engagement ahead of time?"

"Engaged?!"

Kushina's face instantly turned bright red, almost dripping blood, and she nearly threw the carnation in her hand as if it were a shuriken.

"Nishikawa Tetsu, can't you use your foul mouth a little? We're just here to visit Grandma Mito!"

"Yeah, Che, don't joke around like that."

Minato smiled somewhat helplessly, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"These fish were specially caught by Kushina for Lady Mito. I just... helped carry them."

"By the way?"

Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow, walked over to Minato, and patted the huge scroll.

"Tsk tsk, this looks pretty heavy, doesn't it? To help a girl deliver goods, a police advisor is willing to be a porter. His dedication and stamina are something we can only dream of."

He leaned close to Minato's ear and whispered, "But Minato, you can't just rely on strength to woo girls; you also need a bit of romance. Isn't this... a little too hardcore?"

Minato's face flushed slightly, and he whispered in protest, "That was Kushina's feeling, not mine..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Kushina couldn't stand Nishikawa Tetsu's sarcastic teasing any longer. She hugged the flowers to her chest, put her other hand on her hip, and glared at him fiercely.

"But you! Coming out of the Senju clan's territory at this hour, with something in your hand all over your face? Are you up to something you're not telling anyone?"

"Something you're hiding?"

Nishikawa Tetsu shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"I came to visit Lord Mito with the utmost sincerity. Lord Mito not only received me warmly, but also entrusted me with an important task concerning the future of Konoha."

That's not wrong. According to the historical trajectory, Tsunade is the future Fifth Hokage. Healing Tsunade as soon as possible is extremely important for Konoha, because the Third Shinobi World War is only a few years away.

If Tsunade can overcome her hemophobia and return to the front lines, she will be a formidable force.

Furthermore, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is unique in the ninja world, and her presence would reduce the mortality rate of the wounded, so there's nothing wrong with what Nishikawa Tetsu said.

"A mission?" Kushina looked at him suspiciously. "Grandma Mito will give you a mission? Like cleaning toilets?"

"shallow."

Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head, adopting a mysterious and inscrutable expression.

"The specific details are classified as S-level secret, but... as payment, I have the right to come and go from here at any time."

He waved the token in his hand; although only a corner was visible, the Thousand Hands Clan emblem on it was still clearly visible in the moonlight.

Kushina's eyes widened.

That was a keepsake from Grandma Mito!

This kid actually managed to win over Grandma Mito?

"Okay, stop standing at the door."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, Minato quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Since we've run into each other, let's go in together. Che, would you like to go check on Lady Mito again?"

He had encountered Lady Mito a few times while taking Kushina home. He remembered her as a very kind grandmother who was also very gentle with Kushina.

"I'll pass."

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand. He didn't want to face that oppressive old lady again. What if she changed her mind or remembered some strange mission?

"I have something to do, I need to go back and prepare the plan. You two enjoy this... time alone."

After he finished speaking, he waved to the two of them.

"Hurry up, Minato! Grandma Mito's going to sleep if we don't go in soon!"

"Here I am, here I am."

Minato, carrying the scroll on his back, turned around, smiled at Nishikawa Toru, and made a "good luck" gesture.

As the two walked through the gate, their silhouettes appeared exceptionally harmonious in the glow of the lanterns.

One carries the burden of life, the other holds romantic hopes.

"This is youth..."

"And I have to go back and figure out how to scare a hemophobia patient even more."

He hummed an unknown tune and disappeared into the night.

Within the Thousand Hands Clan.

Mito Uzumaki listened to the commotion outside and smiled.

It's been a long time since it's been this lively.
