After the boy left and walked out of the building, two people walked out of the door on the other side of Hokage Office.
"Hiruzen, you are too impulsive." Homura Mitokado pushed up his glasses, and as High Advisor, he criticized unceremoniously.
Third Hokage smiled and had no intention of explaining to his former teammate.
"That's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, are you really willing to let it go?" Seeing Third Hokage's unwillingness to eat, Homura Mitokado changed his tone.
"Excessive protection is ineffective, and sometimes it can be counterproductive. Moreover, for a Jinchuriki, only strong strength is the best protection for her."
Third Hokage glanced at Homura Mitokado and continued, "Do you want to see Kushina trapped in Konoha Year 20 like senior Mito?"
Hearing Third Hokage say this, Homura Mitokado sighed.
If there is anyone like them who I feel sorry for the most, it is only Uzumaki Mito. After Second Hokage died, Konoha was supported by Mito alone during the turbulent years.
But after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but remind him, "Since Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is released, can we let Chen protect it alone?
If something goes wrong with Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the person dies, Nine-Tails will fall into the hands of other villages. "
"You underestimate Chen's strength. Not many people can get Kushina away from his hands."
Utatane Koharu had no doubts about Chen's strength, but she was a little unhappy about Third Hokage forcibly tying Kushina and the boy together.
To put it in more straightforward terms... she doesn't like Kushina very much, she prefers the eldest lady Hyuga Clan.
If she wasn't too old, the princess of the Senju Clan... well, that is, Princess Tsunade, would be quite suitable.
If Tsunade knew what Utatane Koharu was thinking, he would probably fight her with Kunai.
"I'm old?! Damn, believe it or not, I've been eighteen my whole life!"
Not to mention Utatane Koharu's little thoughts, Homura Mitokado was silent for a moment and said, "I hope your choice is right."
After leaving such a sentence, he turned around and walked out Hokage Office.
None of the three mentioned Danzo, or rather... they all deliberately ignored this tough teammate.
After leaving Hokage Office, Chen turned around and walked towards Senju Clan Compound.
Standing in front of Kushina's hut, he knocked on the door.
Soon, the girl's voice came from inside.
"Kana?"
"It's me." Chen replied.
"Chen... Chen?! Come right away!"
I never expected that the boy would visit at this point. Kushina was surprised and a little panicked at the same time.
Like all girls who live alone, Kushina's living room is also full of empty fast food boxes and drink bottles, and clothes are scattered everywhere.
This is nothing, Kushina took a look at what she was wearing. For convenience and coolness, she wore thin pink underwear.
How can I meet my sweetheart with a house like this and "cool" clothes?
Therefore, after more than ten minutes, a flustered Little Fox opened the door.
"Huan... welcome, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"I came so late because I have something to tell you."
"Yeah."
Kushina combed his hair and welcomed Chen in.
She didn't care what the boy was doing here at this hour. For her, as long as Chen could come over and play, it was already a very happy thing.
Even late at night, an inappropriate time.
"I'll make you tea." Kushina ran towards the kitchen.
Chen nodded and sat on the chair in the living room. Kushina placed the flower arrangements very carefully on the table. At first glance, it was Mikoto's handiwork.
After a while, Kushina came over with two cups of scented tea on a tray.
"Drink."
"Yeah." Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How does it taste?" Kushina asked nervously.
"It's delicious. It's rare that you know my taste."
"Hehe~"
The two chatted casually for a while, then Chen asked, "Kushina, do you still remember Uzumaki Village back then?"
"...?" Kushina was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard such a question.
For her, Uzumaki Village is not a very beautiful place.
There have been years of famine and war there. If Mito hadn't sent someone to pick her up from Land of Whirlpools in the end, maybe she would have died in the war like other tribesmen.
"In terms of impression..." After all, it was a memory from before he was five years old. Kushina thought for a while and said, "It's not particularly profound. I can only find the approximate location from the map. I can't remember anything else clearly."
Actually, I said that, but how could I forget it, the corpses and wars everywhere.
It's just that it's meaningless and meaningless to say this kind of thing.
Little Fox's bright eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
"Sorry to remind you of bad memories." Chen sighed, "Want to go back and have a look?"
"Is that okay?" Kushina straightened up and looked into Chen's black pupils.
Although I don't have a good memory of Uzumaki Village, it is my hometown after all.
"Of course. I have a mission and I need to go to Land of Whirlpools. I came here tonight to tell you."
"Ah?... Are we just the two of us?" Kushina swallowed, shrank his neck back, and sat upright in the chair.
"Don't you want to go?"
"No..."
The sudden news that he could go back to his hometown and be with Chen was like a dream.
Kushina blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen.
But at this moment, she suddenly remembered Kana.
Kana also lives in the Senju Clan, not far from Kushina's house. Kana I have never been back in these years. If I go by myself, it would be unreasonable if I don't take her with me.
So, Kushina gritted his teeth and asked, "Can I bring Kana with me?"
Chen understood what Kushina was thinking, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, this is a mission, not a trip.
And...Minato will take her there in the future. "
"Okay then."
Kushina nodded with a mixture of regret and joy.
"I'm going to pack my things now~"
"Don't worry, Third Hokage has given us a long time for the mission."
"Yeah." Kushina sat back on the chair again.
"By the way, this is for you."
Chen took out a Scroll from Ninja Pouch and threw it to Kushina.
"What is this?"
"I brought your Jonin Flak Jacket and some distributed equipment back to you from Hokage Uncle."
"Thank you!" Kushina accepted it excitedly, and then suddenly hugged the boy.
After they separated, she walked towards the house with a blushing face.
"Why are you going?"
Kushina narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'll go change my clothes and you can see if they fit me."
