"What method?"
Upon hearing that this technique could actually be resisted, Sakumo and the others became very interested.
"Curse Mark."
Hiruko them in suspense and revealed the answer directly.
"Captain Kazashiro, can't we really discuss this some more?"
At the entrance of the Torture Department, Tokiyoshi Kan held Kazashiro's hand, making a final struggle.
"Dame, go register yourself."
Kazashiro pulled his hand away, rolled his eyes, and ignored the other person.
"Okay, how about we go out for dinner together tonight?"
Seeing Tokiyoshi Kan Kazashiro was determined not to recommend him, Shi Haoguan could only settle for second best and hope to invite him to dinner to try and improve their relationship.
"Let's skip that. I have other plans for tonight. Alright, alright, the mission was already over when we entered the village. You can all go home and wait to collect your pay. I'll take care of the mission handover."
Seeing that the other party was still not giving up, Kazashiro's tone became urgent. After saying this, he suddenly disappeared into the Torture Department.
"Haha, since Captain Kazashiro has said so, let's not cause him any more trouble."
Maruboshi Kosuke was the first to speak up and take action, leaving the Torture Department area with a smile.
"Alright, then Tokuma, you..." Tokiyoshi Kan sighed, and was about to exchange pleasantries with Tokuma Hyuga when he realized that the little guy had already turned and left when Kazashiro spoke, and was almost at the street corner by now.
"Sigh, my old, indifferent teammate. Speaking of which, I really need to find some regular teammates. How about Kakashi? We were teammates back in the day..."
Tokiyoshi Kan muttered to himself as he headed towards home.
"Ahem, Kazashiro, the minister is currently interrogating prisoners in the dungeon. You can speak to me Jonin you have any questions."
Across from Kazashiro, a burly-looking ninja with several scars on his face forced a smile and greeted him.
"Uh, well, you don't have to laugh if you don't want to."
Kazashiro coughed lightly, somewhat startled by the other person's smile.
"Uh, yes."
Upon hearing Kazashiro's words, the ninja breathed a sigh of relief and adopted a blank expression.
The other Torture Department ninjas witnessed this scene firsthand. Although they really wanted to laugh, they couldn't bring themselves to do so in front of Kazashiro.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether your minister comes out or not. I'm here to hand over prisoners, Summoning Technique!"
Ignoring the reactions of the surrounding ninjas, Kazashiro found a relatively open space and used the Summoning Technique.
With the Katsuyu's help, a huge ice coffin appeared in the Torture Department, and through the ice, the captured ninja could be vaguely seen inside.
"I caught this guy while patrolling the border. I've already released the Fuinjutsu. If you're short on time, use Fire Style techniques to melt the ice. If not, just leave it in the sun."
After releasing the Fuinjutsu, Kazashiro clapped his hands and left the Torture Department in a hurry without saying goodbye.
"Is this what Jonin? He's not even as old as my son, but his movements are so graceful."
Watching Kazashiro's departing figure, one of the older ninjas sighed with emotion.
"Hey, don't forget that he's the Lord Third's disciple. If it weren't for his age, he probably wouldn't be called the Sannin; he'd be called the Four Ninja."
A younger ninja joked as he began to move the ice coffin in front of him.
Where are you planning to take it?
Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, the older ninja also moved closer.
"An incinerator, of course. Using Fire Style would waste Chakra. Just throw him in the furnace and then pull him out. Much easier."
The group hastily decided the fate of the Chunin, then carried him toward the incinerator on the lower level.
After leaving the Torture Department, Kazashiro's first destination was Minato's house.
Just kidding, that's Naruto, the future protagonist, and he has both Naruto! I absolutely have to get on his good side.
Uh, Naruto is so young now, he should be called a "clinger."
To be honest, I did hug the other person before, but that hug should be replaced with a "burst".
You should know that the cave Kushina gave birth was blasted flat by her own Ice Explosion technique, even though it wasn't intentional.
Knocking on the door of the Minato family's house, accompanied by a series of messy footsteps, Minato, whose blond hair had become disheveled, opened the Minato.
"Minato, you're not getting away! You have to explain to me clearly what's going on with this book!!"
As Minato opened the door, Kushina's roar reached Kazashiro's ears.
"Oh, well, I knocked on the wrong door. Goodbye."
Hearing Kushina's roar, even if Kazashiro was slow to react, he knew that a little quarrel between husband and wife was taking place in the Minato household to strengthen their relationship, and he immediately decided to leave.
"Wait, Kazashiro, you've come at the perfect time!"
Minato reacted quickly, grabbing Kazashiro's arm to prevent him from leaving.
"No, Brother Minato, I've come at the wrong time. Let go!"
Kazashiro was almost brought to tears by Minato's actions. He only wanted to strengthen his bond with Naruto and didn't want to get involved in their argument.
"Huh? Isn't this Kazashiro? You've come at the right time! Come in quickly and help me take care of Naruto!"
Kushina, her red hair flying as she held Naruto in her arms and a book in her hand, strode toward the door, where she saw Kazashiro being held captive by Minato.
Without caring whether Kazashiro was willing or not, he shoved Naruto into the other person's arms, then grabbed Minato's ear and dragged him into the house.
"Oh, this..."
Looking at Naruto in his arms, who hadn't cried out even after hearing the noise, Kazashiro felt that this kid in his arms had an extraordinary heart; no wonder he would amount to something great in the future.
"Sweetheart, little Naruto, don't cry..."
As he watched his mother grow further and further away, Naruto, who had just been praised by Kazashiro in his heart, suddenly pouted, tears welling up in his eyes.
Kazashiro hugged him and comforted him, finally stopping Naruto's tears before they could overflow.
After being held and comforted by Kazashiro for a while, Naruto finally got used to the other's scent. He blinked his big eyes and carefully observed the other for a while, then reached out his little hands to tug at the strands of hair hanging down Kazashiro's forehead.
"Damn it, stop pulling, it hurts!"
"Waaaah..."
"Okay, okay, pinch me however you want, please don't cry, or Kushina will kill me."
"Giggle..."
After Kushina resolved Minato's problem and watched him tear the unspeakable book to shreds, she finally smiled again and prepared to go find her beloved son.
Minato followed behind the other person with a wry smile.
Honestly, he didn't buy that "The Story of the Snow Woman," and he has no idea why it ended up in his study.
