Chapter 268 Good Wife and Good Mother Kushina
Chapter 268 Good Wife and Good Mother Kushina
While Nishikawa Toru was busy as a bee, Namikaze Minato was also having a hard time.
Jonin Class Office.
Minato sat behind the newly replaced desk, which still smelled of fresh wood, and looked at a report on the "Phase-by-Phase Training Results of the Flying Thunder Formation Technique," and sighed deeply.
"well……"
That sigh contained too much bitterness that could not be told to outsiders.
Minato still feels lingering fear when he recalls the Minami incident two months ago.
That was the most terrifying and unsolvable S-rank crisis he had faced since becoming a Jonin.
For a full two weeks!
A full twenty days and four hours!
No matter how much he lingered at the entrance of the Senju clan's territory, no matter how he tried to buy Kushina's favorite foods, or even shamelessly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport directly to Kushina's window...
He was always greeted by the fiery red-haired, blood-red pepper-like form and the merciless Vajra chain.
"Minato-nii, give up. Kushina-neechan said that men are all bad, especially fast men, they're even more unreliable."
This was the information that Kana Uzumaki relayed while munching on the limited-edition daifuku he had bought, over the wall at the time.
If it weren't for the fact that Tsunade's research had come to an end, and she hadn't been in a great mood, hosting a banquet at the Senju clan's territory and allowing him, a sinner, to attend, then all this would have happened.
In addition, Kana and Shizune, those two little devils, were working together like crazy at the dinner table, constantly saying things like, "Minato-nii has lost so much weight recently," and "Minato-nii looks so pitiful"...
He might not even get a chance to explain.
Even so, that night, despite Kushina's murderous gaze, he painstakingly analyzed every detail of the Konan incident for a full hour.
Finally, Kushina reluctantly gave a cold snort and accepted his explanation.
"This is too difficult... even more difficult than fighting the Third Raikage..."
Minato rubbed his temples, which were throbbing from reminiscing, and pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Fortunately, after the storm passed, everything returned to normal, and even became sweeter.
"Knock knock knock".
A light and familiar knock on the door interrupted Minato's thoughts.
Upon hearing this rhythm, Minato's previously tired face instantly broke into a smile.
Instead of shouting "Go in," he immediately activated the Instantaneous Movement Technique.
"Whoosh!"
The door was barely opened a crack when Shuimen appeared in the doorway, taking the exquisite three-layer insulated food container from the person outside with remarkable ease.
"Kushina, why are you up so early today?"
Outside the door, Kushina Uzumaki was wearing a light green floral dress, and her long red hair was simply tied back with an elegant hair ribbon.
Her fair face was flushed slightly from walking quickly, and her eyes revealed undisguised joy.
"I'm just worried you'll starve to death in the office, you busy person."
Kushina gave him a playful glare and followed him into the office.
Since they reconciled, delivering lunch to Kushina every day at noon has become her daily routine, except when she's on missions.
"What delicious food did you make today?" Minato carefully placed the food box on the table and eagerly opened the first layer.
A rich aroma of sauce wafts over.
"Ta-da! Special Teriyaki Chicken Rice! Also includes Tamagoyaki in Broth and Stir-fried Vegetables!"
Kushina proudly put her hands on her hips and pointed at the dishes that looked excellent and looked tempting.
"I've been learning from Mikoto-nee for a long time to master this level of skill! Mikoto-nee said that you not only have to lead Team 7, but also manage the Jonin class and develop ninjutsu. Most importantly, you also have to teach those kids space-time ninjutsu. It's extremely taxing, so you need to replenish your energy."
Minato felt a warmth in his heart when he heard the name Mikoto.
Fugaku-senpai and Mikoto-nee's wedding is next week, it seems Kushina has already entered her apprenticeship as a good wife and mother.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kushina. It looks delicious."
Minato picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of chicken cutlet, and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly.
"Mmm, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauce has completely soaked in, it tastes even better than what you get in restaurants!"
This is absolutely the truth.
Compared to the terrible dishes she made a few months ago, which were either undercooked or burnt, Kushina's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
"Really?"
Hearing Minato's praise, Kushina's eyes curved into crescents. She happily sat down opposite him, resting her chin on her hands as she watched him eat.
A cozy lunchtime always seems too short.
Halfway through the meal, Kushina glanced at the report on the "Phase-Breaking Thunder Formation Technique Training Results" on Minato's table and frowned slightly.
"By the way, Minato. How's that Flying Thunder Formation technique coming along? Are those three kids able to learn it?"
Mentioning this, Minato slowed down his eating and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Although the Flying Thunder Formation technique was developed by me based on the Second Hokage's theories and Che's ideas, and it reduced the spatial perception requirements for a single person, but..."
Minato put down his chopsticks and sighed.
"But after these three months, I've found that it's still a bit too much for Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tadashi."
"Their chakra control is indeed quite good, but the core of the Flying Thunder Formation lies in the fact that the chakra frequencies of the three people must reach perfect resonance in order to construct a stable spatial channel in the void."
Watergate pointed to a set of data on the report.
"Currently, the three of them working together can only teleport an inanimate object a maximum of ten meters. Moreover, their chakra becomes disordered after each teleportation, and it takes a long time to resynchronize."
"If they want to teleport living people or perform long-distance teleportation... at their current pace, they'll probably need some more time to refine their methods."
"The food delivery and rescue services that Che mentioned are not expected to be available in the short term."
Minato smiled.
"But that girl, Kana, is truly surprising."
"Kana?!"
Kushina was a little confused. She was now the Jonin instructor of Kana and Shizune, and the two girls had graduated not long ago. When it came to understanding Kana, Kushina considered herself the best.
The child's mind wasn't on studying at all; she couldn't concentrate on anything. Although Kushina knew Minato was teaching Kana some things, she didn't pay much attention, thinking Minato was just playing with the child.
"Kushina, you may have some misunderstanding about Kana's talent."
Minato recalled the time he spent teaching Kana in the courtyard.
"She doesn't need to understand those obscure spatial coordinate formulas, nor does she need to calculate the frequency of chakra."
"Just like Che said, she's playing around."
"While Genma and the other two were sweating profusely trying to synchronize their chakra, Kana merely glanced at the Flying Thunder God Technique incantation I had carved on the wooden block, and then..."
"Then, like a puzzle piece, she naturally inserted her chakra into the nodes of those techniques. She could even point out where the blockages were in Genma and the others' chakra flow."
"The day before yesterday, I took a test."
Minato looked at Kushina and said:
"I threw a Flying Thunder God kunai a hundred meters away, and then had Kana try to sense the coordinates. As it turned out, not only did she sense it, she also..."
"What else?" Kushina swallowed nervously.
"She also sent a wisp of her chakra directly to the kunai along that spatial coordinate. Although she didn't achieve material transfer, her affinity for the spatial ripples was almost like that of another version of me."
Kushina was stunned. She knew Minato's talent; it was simply heaven-defying.
"This...this is too exaggerated! Does it mean that our Uzumaki clan, besides having a lot of chakra and strong sealing techniques, has also unlocked the talent tree for space-time ninjutsu?"
"No, this has nothing to do with the Uzumaki clan. It's a talent unique to Kana."
Minato shook his head.
"Now I not only have to lead Kakashi and Team 7 on missions, but I also have to find time to tutor Genma and the others in basic theory."
"Fortunately, the framework of the Flying Thunder Formation technique has been developed. As long as they practice step by step, they will be able to master it sooner or later."
"As for Chanel..."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Minato's eyes.
"Perhaps it won't be long before I can teach her the real Flying Thunder God Technique."
After all, the amount of chakra that used to trouble Minato was not a concern for the Uzumaki clan.
