Uzumaki Kushina and Minato

"Brother! When I grow up, I want to be like you and become a powerful ninja!"

Xiao Xing also said something very inspiring.

"You're so thin! Does anyone bully you at the Ninja Academy?" Shiyu asked with a smile.

"No! Everyone has been so nice to me since they heard you're my brother!" Xiao Xing said with great pride.

"Hehe." Shiyu patted Xiao Xing's head with her hand.

"By the way, the Ichiraku Ramen by the Teuchi uncle has upgraded its recipe and changed its decor. It's officially opening soon! Should we go try it!?" Xiao Xing was also very excited and dragged Shiyu towards the brand-new Ichiraku Ramen shop.

The Hokage Rock in Konoha houses three statues of the Hokage's heads, which stand quietly in the distance and can be seen from anywhere on the main street.

In the busiest part of Konoha Street, countless villagers were queuing in front of a shop, and the queue had already formed a long line.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ichiraku Ramen, which had officially opened for business.

"Welcome! This is what we're most proud of. We're open today! Ramen is half price!" The Teuchi was promoting the restaurant as much as he could, and it was already packed.

"Oh no, it's packed today! Ichiraku Ramen become this popular?" Xiao Xing and Shiyu were also taken aback by the sea of people.

"After all, it's the official opening. We'll probably have a hard time getting a table Shiyu comforted him. He spotted many familiar faces in the crowd, including Guy, Asuma, Shizune, Kakashi, and others.

"Ichiraku Ramen is really popular."

At that moment, a person dressed in Konoha Jonin attire ran over from not far away, seemingly searching for someone in the crowd.

"Minato?" A tall figure patted the blond Jonin from behind.

"Jiraiya- sensei? The blond Jonin is actually Minato Namikaze, and the tall white-haired ninja is naturally Jiraiya the Konoha Sannin."

"Come with me." Jiraiya mysteriously pulled Minato away. Seeing Shiyu, Shigure and Xiao Xing secretly approached, wanting to see what the two of them were up to.

Jiraiya called Minato to a secluded spot and then said, "Watch out, don't get scared!"

Immediately afterwards, a blue ball rose from Jiraiya's hand; this, of course, was the Rasengan.

"How about it? The secret technique you spent three whole years perfecting! I've mastered it, isn't that amazing!" Jiraiya asked, quite proudly.

"Impressive! As expected of Jiraiya- sensei!" Minato praised, then said, "However, there is another person in Konoha who knows this technique. He is your junior brother, Uchiha Shigure."

"Shiyu? This guy?"

"I have urgent business to attend to, "Minato said absentmindedly. He bowed and then went to find someone else.

Jiraiya was petrified on the spot.

Shiyu quietly shook her head. "Let's go, Xiao Xing, let's go find Minato and see if Kushina Uzumaki and the others can break the chakra seal on you."

Among the crowd in line, Kakashi, who had been arguing with Asuma, saw Minato and immediately ran out. "Minato-sensei, is there a mission?"

"Hmm, Kakashi, we're about to assemble. Minato was looking for Kakashi."

"However, we are still missing one person." Minato turned around and saw Shiyu behind him.

"Shiyu- shishu, it sounds too formal to call you that. How about we all call you teacher? That way we can show respect and acknowledge your seniority?" Minato suggested.

"Then shall I call you teacher? Calling you junior uncle or grandmaster uncle would be strange," Kakashi agreed.

Shiyu smiled and raised her hand, "Alright. Minato? Why am I on this mission?"

"Yes. We are both Jonin in this mission. Let's go find the Lord Third to accept the mission now!" Minato said.

Shiyu immediately said, "Before the mission, I need your help with something. This child is sealed. It requires the Uzumaki Clan's Seal Technique to unseal him. Otherwise, he cannot condense chakra."

Minato also let out a sound of surprise. After obtaining permission from Shiyu and Xiao Xing, he looked at Xiao Xing's abdomen and, sure enough, discovered the chakra Seal Technique.

"I see. I'm powerless against Seal Technique of this level. No wonder you had to go to Lady Mito. Luckily, Kushina is home. Let's go back first, and then have Kushina take us to Lady Mito to help Xiao Xing break the seal." Minato immediately set off.

From the preliminary rounds to Ryūchi Cave, and finally to the finals, Shiyu had no chance to do this. This time, he just happened to run into Minato and was determined to break the seal on Xiao Xing.

Soon, they arrived at Minato Namikaze's house.

Minato knocked on the door, and a woman with long red hair appeared in front of Shiyu. She had a hair clip in her left bun and a wristband on her left wrist.

She asked, "Huh? Minato, why are you back? Didn't you have a mission?"

"Sister, you're so beautiful!" Xiao Xing said sincerely, which made Kushina extremely happy.

At that moment, Shiyu felt a call from Kushina's bloodline power.

"Kushina Uzumaki? No doubt about it, she has the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan."

"Unlike before when I absorbed the dead Uchiha and Kaguya, this time I have a very good feeling. It seems that touching them will actually make them stronger?" Shiyu's premonition was accurate. Shiyu then looked at Minato and asked, "Minato? Kushina is from the Uzumaki Clan? Can I touch her?"

"Hmm?" Everyone thought Shiyu's request was strange.

"Huh? Little kid? Your outfit is pretty cool, isn't it? Is Kakashi your friend?" Kushina joked.

"Um... Kushina... This is my martial uncle, that is, Jiraiya-sama's junior brother, the Third Hokage's last disciple, his name is Uchiha Shigure Mizumon." He also scratched his head awkwardly.

"Oh, I remember now! The genius of Konoha!" Kushina was very enthusiastic, quite different from what I had imagined. It is said that when she gets angry, her hair will float up, turning her into a violent, blood-red chili pepper.

Shiyu was only five years old, so Kushina didn't think too much about it. After Shiyu touched her, a surge of bloodline power flowed into Shiyu's body, and at the same time, an even purer surge of bloodline power flowed into Kushina.

In a short while, Shiyu discovered that his bloodline had been perfected once again, and Kushina had also received a significant boost.

"I seem to have become stronger? My chakra has increased, what's going on?" Kushina asked in surprise, having never encountered anything like this before.

"This is my ability. I can help those with a bloodline to make their bloodline purer, which is why I am so strong." Shiyu couldn't help but tell a lie.

Then, Kushina pulled up Xiao Xing's shirt and saw the seal.
