Uzumaki Kushina faintly heard someone calling her name.
Familiar yet tinged with fatigue.
She opened her eyes and saw Namikaze Minato covered in blood.
Kushina looked stunned, was she dreaming?
But she quickly remembered what happened.
Someone pretended to be Qingshu and poisoned her.
"How did you..."
Kushina quickly stood up and noticed three corpses lying around.
They were wearing the clothes of the Hidden Rain Village, two jounin and one chuunin.
"You...you killed him?"
"Um."
Minato flipped up his golden bangs and said with a smile, "It's quite lucky."
"Why don't you wait Mikoto? How smart are you usually?"
Kushina was a little annoyed, so she patted him on the shoulder and said, "One against three, what can you do?"
"I saw you were in danger, so I couldn't hold it back."
Minato scratched his head in embarrassment.
Although he knew that Qingshu was nearby, he still chose to take the risk.
Kushina was slightly startled.
She looked at Minato.
The summer sun reflected his golden hair.
Matched with a vague smile.
Still quite handsome.
It's this embarrassed expression, so silly.
Kushina couldn't help but chuckle.
It's like the cherry blossoms that suddenly bloom in spring. In the evening breeze, they look like colorful clouds, bright and moving.
Minato was stunned for a moment.
"Idiot, come to your senses."
Kushina waved her hand in front of his eyes, "The top priority is to find Mikoto and then treat you."
"Oh, okay." Minato struggled to get up.
"Are you still trying to show off? Give me your hand." Kushina glared at him, held his arm, and used her body to help him walk.
"that……"
Minato's heart was beating violently. It was the first time that he was so close to Kushina, so close that he could hear her breathing and smell the fragrance of her red hair.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Minato shook his head quickly, fearing that she would worry about him.
"Where were you calm before?" Kushina was amused by his nervous and reserved look.
"Ah...well...I..." Minato hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"You, if you could learn one and a half of Haruki-sensei's moves, you wouldn't be speechless."
Kushina noticed his sudden look of loss and smiled again, "But, I kind of like the way you look now."
"Huh?" Minato didn't react for a moment.
"Do you know the direction of Mikoto?" Kushina asked Mikoto without saying any more.
"This way." Minato was a little disappointed, but still managed to show the way.
The two became quiet again, Kushina didn't speak, and Minato didn't know what to say.
But walking shoulder to shoulder like this is also very nice.
So much so that he forgot about the pain in his body.
It wasn't until he saw Haruki and Mikoto that he reluctantly let go of Kushina.
But what surprised Minato was that the scene in front of him was too harmonious.
"teacher?"
When Kushina saw Haruki, she immediately showed an expression of surprise.
Just when Minato showed an envious expression, Kushina took his hand and walked to Haruki and said: "Teacher, help this guy heal quickly."
Minato's body suddenly stiffened.
There seemed to be sweat on the palm of the held left hand.
"Um."
Haruki's wooden clone who was following them had already seen the scene where the Minato heroes rescued the beauty. The reason why he didn't show up was naturally because he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.
Green chakra emerged from his hands, and it traveled around the wounds on Minato's body, and healed after a moment.
"call."
Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Minato's left hand, and said, "Fortunately, the teacher arrived in time."
Minato gradually came back to his senses, heard her words, and looked at Haruki.
He didn't tell Kushina the truth.
But Mikoto should have known it. His eyes came into contact with Mikoto's eyes and he suddenly trembled.
He felt a cold and huge chakra.
Could this be the Mangekyō Sharingan that the teacher was talking about?
This feeling of danger is comparable to that of the Third Hokage.
"Minato, when we get to the Fire Country metropolis, let's discuss it."
Mikoto's tone was cooler than usual.
Minato's smile suddenly froze, why don't you find a teacher?
He is the main culprit!
Injustice, really injustice!
"For the discussion between the team members, just click and stop."
Qingshu patted his shoulder and said, "Go and change clothes."
"Okay...ok."
Minato heard the implication of Haruki's words.
It’s really hard to be an apprentice!
He went to a secluded place to change out of his ripped ninja clothes, and within a minute, he returned to the team.
Qingshu has already started lighting a fire to barbecue.
Stringing up the little white rabbits that Mikoto had captured, and staring at the fire, she couldn't help but think of what she said about the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
The left eye is similar to a weakened version of Izanagi, and the mutual conversion between illusion and reality is called Ifu Yasaka.
The right eye can invalidate any pupil technique of the same level or lower level, and is called Huang Quanjin.
The pupil technique of the Mangekyo Sharingan is a reflection of the mind of the person who opened the eyes.
Mikoto witnessed the tragic experience of the Uchiha clan under Uchiha Itachi's Eye Technique in a genjutsu, so she wanted to erase his Eye Technique and awakened Huang Quanjin.
Haruki deceived her twice, which caused her to have doubts about reality and illusion, and she wanted to see and grasp it clearly, so she got Ifu Yasaka.
Ifuyazaka corresponds to the fictional road to the underworld in the neon myth, namely the underworld Hirazaka, but it is a place name that exists in reality, which means the transformation between fiction and reality.
Huangquanjin is another name for Izanami. She is the mother goddess in neon mythology and the goddess of filth in Huangquan. She represents the highest power.
Of course, although the Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful, it has its flaws.
According to Mikoto, both pupil techniques put a huge burden on her, and they are forbidden techniques that cannot be used frequently.
As for the specific situation, Haruki did not let Mikoto explain.
After all, once someone knows about it, it will become a fatal weakness.
To be honest, Qingshu was also a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, her two actions created another eye technique in Mikoto.
But there is no doubt that her Mangekyō Sharingan is the nemesis of the Uchiha clan.
For those who don’t know it, it’s almost like killing them for the first time.
He could imagine that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke might not be able to fight back when facing their mother in the future.
"Here, Mikoto."
Haruki was the first to hand the roasted rabbit meat to Mikoto.
After a pause, Mikoto started eating in silence.
She still has some resentment towards Qingshu.
Kushina looked at the two of them and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She pulled Minato's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what happened?"
"Nothing, what can happen?"
Minato shook his head, it was clearly him who was going to cause trouble.
Kushina glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions.
The three people in front of her are all the most important people in her life, and she believes that they will not harm her.
After lunch, Qingshu took the three of them and set off towards the metropolis of the Land of Fire.
Traveling all the way.
Mikoto's mood also returned to normal, except that the sparring session with Minato was not cancelled.
Haruki observed Minato and Kushina and was basically sure that their relationship was almost clear.
