Listening to the two of them complaining to each other, Namikaze Minato smiled knowingly. Unknowingly, his memory seemed to have returned to the period of his jounin career.
Akimichi Dontō was somewhat disapproving of Inuzuka's complaint that he was not popular.
"You guys are not handsome to begin with, and you are also a cultivator. It is normal for you not to be popular..."
Probably because Namikaze Minato was not efficient enough in placing the meat slices, Akimichi Donto also started to help.
After all, the Akimichi clan is full of foodie attributes, and is naturally an expert when it comes to eating barbecue. With his help, the grill plate was quickly filled with meat neatly.
"Tch, as a ninja, isn't it the right thing to practice hard and increase your strength?"
Inuzukajiu crossed his arms and retorted unconvinced.
In fact, Akimichi Dontou said that he is not handsome, which is already a statement of high emotional intelligence.
He has a thin, unshaven face, faint dark circles under his eyes, and the red mark of the Inuzuka clan painted on his face. This appearance can hardly be called handsome.
And his points deductions don’t end there. The ninja dogs that follow the Inuzuka clan are always there, which makes the already unhandsome Inuzuka Jaw even more afraid of letting people approach him. After all, his ninja dog Copper Maru is still huge.
For the vicious types…
Namikaze Minato suddenly thought that Inuzuka Kiba in the original novel seemed to be in his thirties and had not yet been able to start a family.
Maybe the companion ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan will cause this kind of trouble to their owners.
"You are right, so this mission to the Country of Grass depends entirely on you..."
Akimichi Toto flipped the meat slices skillfully with a faint smile on his face and did not argue with him.
Because when it came to the mission, Namikaze Minato also thought of the tense situation on the border, and couldn't help but warn: "Brother Jaw, brother Toto, please be careful on this mission."
"Because we secretly went to the border in batches to set up defenses, and you are the first batch of ninjas to rush to the front line. If there is an emergency, you still have to deal with it calmly."
"Unless it is confirmed that a large force of Iwa ninjas is invading the country, we must not take the lead in provoking a war."
In fact, although Namikaze Minato warned the two of them this way, he did not explain the specific reasons.
After all, it would not be a wise move to reveal the news to the frontline troops in advance that Kumogakure is also watching.
It can be foreseen that once Konoha and Iwa Ninja start fighting again, Kumogakure's side will definitely be dispatched to rob Konoha just like the previous sneak attack on Earth Country...
"clear."
"Don't worry, Minato."
Seeing Namikaze Minato's serious expression, the two of them became a little more serious and responded at the same time.
It was undoubtedly a bit unpleasant to talk about official matters at a dinner party. The topic soon changed, and Akimichi Tangtou talked about his son.
People who have married and those who have not yet married have different topics in some aspects...
Namikaze Minato was able to reluctantly participate in such topics, while Inuzuka Jaw realized that he had quickly become an outsider, and couldn't help feeling depressed again.
Not long after, the meat slices were sizzling on the oven plate, and bursts of fragrance came from it.
Under Akimichi Toto's skillful grilling skills, the first plate of barbecue was completed.
Savoring the rich aroma and tenderness of the grilled meat, the three of them raised their glasses together and drank the sake in one gulp.
In terms of food, the wine in the world of Naruto is no different from the Japanese sake in the real world. It is different from liquor and has a much lower alcohol content, so even though Namikaze Minato is not a very good drinker, he can still drink a lot.
As the meal officially began, Akimichi Toto immediately felt as if he had released his restraints, and the plates of meat slices were gradually piled higher and higher.
Inuzuka Jaw and Namikaze Minato knew his fighting prowess very well, so they were not surprised.
As for the other customers at the neighboring tables and in the store, although some people were stunned, most of them solved their doubts after discovering a ninja sitting on the table, dressed in the style of the Akimichi clan.
As you drink more and more alcohol, even though the alcohol content is not high, it will eventually become intoxicating.
Namikaze Minato was having such a good time chatting with Inuzuka Jubilee and Akimichi Donato that he also became drunk without knowing it.
Since we are all adults, we let the conversation go freely when we drink too much.
From the interesting things in the missions of normal topic types, to talking about the post-war situation of the five major ninja countries, from family affairs, to private life.
The show was about to end, and all three of them were a little drunk.
Inuzuka-chan suddenly asked to change the next scene. Akimichi Toto was a little puzzled, but after hearing Inuzuka-gna mysteriously uttered the words "love the world", he immediately shook his head.
On the other hand, Namikaze Minato flatly refused when he heard the name.
You should be able to tell from the name that it is a romantic place...
However, the name is somewhat similar to the name of the novel Jiraiya is currently writing. Perhaps he often used excuses to draw inspiration from the novel, so maybe the name came from this.
After all, two of the three people did not agree with this proposal.
Inuzuka Jaw also had to give up.
After walking out of the store, it was already late at night.
Namikaze Minato said goodbye to the two of them, and then hurried home under the moonlight.
The cold wind was blowing on the road, because it was still relatively cold in the late autumn night, so he wanted to wake up a little while walking home.
After all, it would be extremely embarrassing to meet Iori if he went back like this.
Iori has been taking care of Naruto as a nanny for more than a month.
Every day, he could only hand over Naruto to Minato Namikaze after Minato Namikaze returned home, and then he would finish his work for the day and go home from get off work.
So when Minato Namikaze walked to the door of his house, he could clearly see the lights on the windows of his house when he raised his eyes.
After taking out the key and opening the door, Namikaze Minato walked straight in.
"Lord Hokage, you are back..."
Hearing the door open, Iori held Naruto in her arms and walked out of the back room, smiling and bowing slightly.
Namikaze Minato nodded, took it from Naruto and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Iori."
"I came back a little late today and kept you waiting..."
Iori looked at Namikaze Minato who still looked a little drunk. She obviously understood what was going on immediately because of her rich experience. She just smiled and responded: "Anyway, this is my job after all."
"Little Naruto has fallen asleep. After you place him, please rest as soon as possible..."
After the explanation, Iori bowed politely again and then left.
Namikaze Minato sent Iori away, closed the door, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
In his arms, the infant Naruto was sleeping soundly. Although he was already over a month old, Namikaze Minato held him and felt no other obvious changes except for a slight increase in weight.
…
He walked back to the bedroom and carefully placed Naruto.
After confirming that he had not woken up, Minato Namikaze sighed: Raising a child is indeed not an easy task.
