Chapter 145 My son’s female classmate
It's common knowledge that Yamanaka Ino likes handsome men.
To date, her favorite handsome man is Uchiha Sasuke.
It's worth mentioning that her best friend and rival, Sakura, also has feelings for Sasuke.
Driven by a competitive spirit, she didn't want to lose to the girl who had once overcome her inferiority complex with her help.
So, after a few back and forth, a battle for Sasuke began.
However, she was more attracted to Sasuke's looks. As for his personality, she could only say that his cool demeanor was not bad, but it wasn't enough to make her particularly smitten.
Until today, she met Minato.
With just one glance, his handsome and gentle face struck her heart.
Unlike Sasuke's forced coolness, it was a more composed and reserved temperament that she, a young girl, could not resist. It made her heart flutter at first glance, and she was so captivated that she couldn't extricate herself, instantly forgetting about Sasuke.
Ino felt like she was in love.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ino glanced at Minato and noticed that he was looking at her with curiosity. Ino suddenly felt her breath become hot.
"Speak up! Naruto!"
"that----"
Naruto said with a bitter face, "His name is Minato Namikaze. He's currently living with me, and he already has a girlfriend."
"I don't believe it!"
Ino turned to look at Minato, her hands behind her back, striking a charming pose.
"Um—nice to meet you. I'm Naruto's classmate, Yamanaka Ino. What's your name?"
Minato nodded gently: "My name is Namikaze Minato."
"Ah, what a lovely name!"
Ino cupped her hands around her heart and smiled.
She just didn't know why, but the name sounded so familiar.
Shikamaru froze on the spot, his pupils trembling violently. He looked in the direction of the Shadow Rock, then at Minato, with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Um—Minato-kun, do you have someone you like?"
Ino pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and asked boldly.
"have."
Minato nodded.
Not only are there, but there's more than one!
Ino lowered her head in disappointment. She actually had someone she liked. Then what Naruto said might be true. The other person probably already had someone in a relationship.
Unlike the disappointment she felt when Sasuke rejected her invitation to a date, she felt a pang in her heart, followed by a sense of emptiness and oppression.
Ino felt that her love affair was over before it even began.
"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous—"
She bowed slightly towards the water gate, her tone tinged with embarrassment.
"There's nothing presumptuous about it; I don't think there's anything wrong with being straightforward."
Minato said gently, nodding slightly to the three of them, "You're Naruto's friends, right? Naruto must have spent a lot of time at school..."
I apologize for the trouble you've caused, but thank you for taking care of Naruto.
"Nonsense—"
Ino quickly waved her hand, feeling a little strange. Why did Minato's words sound like those of Naruto's parent?
Could it be some distant cousin?
Just then, Shikamaru suddenly raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder from behind.
Ino turned around and saw Shikamaru pointing at the Shadow Rock.
Ino looked in the direction he pointed and was immediately stunned.
Then her gaze swept back and forth between the Water Gate and Shadow Rock several times, and her eye twitched.
Speaking of which, isn't Minato Namikaze the name of the Fourth Hokage?
As the successor of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, although she was momentarily stunned by Minato's good looks and didn't immediately recall him, she still knew the Fourth Hokage's title.
Ino looked at Minato awkwardly: "Um—if I may ask, what is your relationship with Naruto?"
"They can be seen as father and son."
Minato didn't hide anything and said softly, "I am from another world. In this world, I am the Fourth Hokage, and also Naruto's father."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ino and Shikamaru opened their mouths wide, while Choji stared blankly at Minato, the bag of potato chips in his hand falling to the ground with a thud.
Shikamaru reacted the fastest.
Although he was shocked, he figured that the village leaders couldn't possibly be unaware of Minato's presence here, and he also noticed the strange looks from the passersby.
In a flash, Shikamaru chuckled. He glanced at Ino beside him and casually teased, "Should I call you Mrs. Namikaze or Mrs. Uzumaki?"
"Ugh, stop talking, you bastard!"
Ino's face immediately turned bright red. She had finally fallen for someone, only to find out it was her classmate's father.
Thinking of this, she punched Shikamaru twice.
The two punches landed very solidly, making Shikamaru grimace.
Minato also looked embarrassed, and gently scratched his cheek with his index finger.
My son’s female classmate?
He seemed to have seen a similar theme in his past life —
"By the way, Ino, don't you like Sasuke?"
Naruto glanced at Ino, secretly on guard.
I treated you like a classmate, and you actually want to be my mom?
"Well—I just feel that Sasuke is more handsome. As for his temperament and such, he can't compare to the Fourth Hokage at all."
Ino casually shrugged, but couldn't help glancing at Minato out of the corner of her eye, still harboring some wicked thoughts.
To be honest, after meeting Minato, she felt that Sasuke was just a little kid, and his temperament was far inferior to Minato's, which was a bit of a shock.
"Just call me Minato."
Minato waved his hand gently: "I'm only eight years old this year, and I haven't succeeded to the position of Hokage yet."
"Succession?"
Shikamaru's eyes flickered slightly; he understood the underlying meaning of those words.
Minato spoke with such confidence, as if he could succeed as Hokage at any time if he wanted to.
It's not a competition, nor is it a nomination—
Are you already a candidate?
Their strength must be considerable, at least enough to deter higher-ups from taking any rash actions.
Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't easily allow such a visitor from a parallel universe to roam around freely.
They're about the same age, so the age difference is just too big.
Shikamaru's mind worked quickly, and he soon guessed most of the key points.
However, what he was most concerned about was what kind of impact Minato's appearance would have on Naruto.
In the past, everyone looked at Naruto with cold and distant eyes, but today there was a different feeling.
Moreover, although Naruto still seems carefree and easygoing, he doesn't act as loud and boisterous as he usually does.
He stood quietly beside the Fourth Hokage, appearing more refined than usual, with a more relaxed and confident demeanor.
Is this the change brought about by parents?
This guy had a tough time before too—
But what will happen to Naruto after the Fourth Hokage leaves?
The feeling of never having something in the first place is completely different from the feeling of having something and then losing it.
Shikamaru worried that once Minato left, Naruto might become very lost and even unable to accept that kind of loneliness.
If that's the case, then the appearance of this fourth generation might not necessarily be a good thing.
However, on the other hand, he also wanted to see.
With the Fourth Hokage personally guiding him, how will Naruto grow?
Could it grow into the next Yellow Flash?
