After some eloquent talk by Akaseki, the meal was finished.
"Ranwu... Shall I take you home?" Akaseki said diligently after paying the bill.
"Huh?" Ranwu was stunned when he heard this.
Shinnosuke also looked at Akaseki in shock--could it be that... these two people are actually...
Then he was pulled away by Minato.
"Forest Street It's not like I've never been there! Third Uncle Fourth Uncle people like me so much!" Akaseki said specifically.
"No, no need! It's not the way!" Ranwu panicked a little.
From Ranwu's point of view, although today's Akaseki is weird and sometimes even more annoying than usual, but... he is also extremely proactive!
This makes Ranwu a little overwhelmed.
Seeing what Ranwu said, Akaseki didn't insist anymore and just said to Minato, "Minato, how long can you stay in the village? Let's go visit Kushina tomorrow."
"There are no tasks yet... When I first came back, I went to see Kushina once, and I just wanted to go again tomorrow." Minato smiled.
"That's it..." Akaseki understood clearly after hearing this.
It seems that as the war progresses, Minato's status is getting higher and higher.
Now I can go to see Kushina by myself without being led by Akaseki.
"Then I'll go too... I haven't seen Kushina for a long time." Ranwu interrupted at this time.
"Okay, let's go together." Akaseki nodded - since Ranwu said it, she can definitely go.
And Akaseki estimates that Kushina misses him too, so he should go and see her.
More importantly...
Akaseki glanced at it.
He also wanted to ask Kushina for advice about the Uzumaki Clan's Space-Time Sealing!
I don't know why, but after coming out of Sealing, Hikaru has been unable to recover chakra on his own, and can only use "Engraving" to absorb it.
Akaseki Of course, I don't expect her to recover immediately, but... I also care about this matter!
Although Akaseki was on guard against the light, on the other hand, he also had a sympathetic side in his heart for this "girl" who had not provoked or provoked anyone, but was first used as a weapon and deprived of emotions for more than ten years, and then Sealing ed for three hundred years.
The hidden dangers of being unable to recover chakra on your own are actually huge.
Although she has the ability "Engraving", which seems to be a substitute for restoring chakra in normal times, "Engraving" is an ability after all...
If at any time, Hikari's chakra is really exhausted and even "Engraving" cannot be used, then the only choice is to wait for death!
Akaseki estimates that the problem still lies with "Sealing Technique", maybe... Sealing has not been completely solved yet?
Of course, Akaseki couldn't tell the truth to Akaseki, or even tell the truth to Kushina. He could only ask Akaseki in an insinuating way tomorrow with his clever tongue.
After that, the five of them separated, Shinnosuke returned to the Sarutobi Clan's clan by himself, and Akaseki walked with Guang in the direction of the Uchiha Clan's clan.
Minato and Ranwu are just along the way...
"Minato, do you feel...Akaseki is acting weird today?" Ranwu asked a little uneasily, not sure yet, whether it was because he was worried about gains and losses.
Ranwu even began to doubt...
Could it be that "light" actually has any thoughts about Akaseki?
Could it be that Kensho Uchiha wants to marry Illegitimate Daughter to Akaseki so that he can take over as Clan Leader?
So...
Akaseki In order to express his feelings to her, he was so "attentive" to him today. Do you want to make them lose their minds?
Ranwu has started to have random thoughts...
"Huh? Is there any?" Minato looked puzzled and immediately said, "Ah... maybe he is more candid."
"Frank, frank... what are you talking nonsense about?" Ranwu's face turned red when he heard this.
Minato just smiled.
Minato said this just to dispel Ranwu's doubts. In fact, Minato saw a deeper layer!
Although I don't know the specific situation, Minato is already 80% certain...
There is something wrong with this light!
It's not just "Illegitimate Daughter of Clan Leader".
Minato has no way of guessing what the problem is, but Minato at least sees that... the strength of light is very likely to be stronger than Akaseki, and it should be much stronger!
Although in Akaseki's description, Sharingan has just been opened and does not have any ninja abilities yet, Minato noticed...
When Akaseki saw Hikari's ninja number before, he blurted out "Three thousand [bigger] than me"!
It seems to be just an instinctive language habit, but Minato understands Akaseki very well.
With Akaseki's character, if he didn't have any fear from the bottom of his heart, he would definitely have said "three thousand [younger] than me"!
From this sentence, Minato became wary of light.
Of course, Minato would not say these words to anyone. When he saw Akaseki alone, he might ask if he needed help - after all, Akaseki's attitude obviously didn't want to be known.
On the other hand, Guang reminded Akaseki seriously at this time, "That little yellow hair has been observing me before."
"Ah? Minato? It's impossible... I have someone I like." Akaseki shook his head repeatedly, with a tone of "Don't feel good about yourself."
Light:...
"I'm talking about 'observation'." Guang emphasized.
Akaseki reacted immediately...
"You mean he saw something?" Akaseki was nervous at first, and then sighed in his heart - As expected of Minato, he is still as sharp as ever.
And...
Light is also sharper than imagined!
It seems that although he was trained as a weapon, Guang is actually very sensitive to other people's attitudes towards him.
"Of course, it doesn't matter to me." Guang said calmly.
It was Akaseki who was worried that Guang's matter would be exposed. Guang just said "because you are so worried, I didn't show my strength for the time being."
Akaseki also shook his head and said, "If Minato... it doesn't matter."
After a pause, Akaseki added, "If one day you encounter any difficulties at Konoha, and grandma Chizuru and I are not here... the third person you can find for help is Minato!"
"You trust him so much? He... isn't Uchiha Clan?" Guang is still very unfamiliar with this kind of relationship.
Warring States Period, it is very rare for ninjas to trust their own kind...
As for other ninjas?
This is definitely a negative example!
"Of course! After I make the third generation Ninshu, I will let him be my right-hand man!" Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
Light:...
This set of Third Ninshu has been mentioned by Akaseki for a long time, but...
Guang didn't talk at all.
"Who is Kushina you are going to meet tomorrow?" Guang asked directly.
She heard that this Kushina seemed to be invisible...
"Yes...Kushina Uzumaki." Akaseki said tentatively.
The light remained unmoved by this.
Although Sealing is her Uzumaki Clan, she has no extra hatred towards the Uzumaki Clan.
Regarding her personal experience, Guang completely believed that "it was Shinobi World's fault." Akaseki didn't know whether to call her stingy or generous...
"Tailed Beast, you know, right? In order to maintain the balance of the villages, that... First Hokage, whom I respect the most, captured all Tailed Beast and distributed them to other villages. After putting these Tailed Beast Sealing in Jinchuriki's body, these Jinchuriki will have the power of Tailed Beast. First Hokage wants to use this as the cornerstone of peace..."
Because they were talking about "efforts for peace" and "the right-hand man who assisted Uchiha Clan in creating the Ninja Village era", Akaseki still respected First at this time.
But...
Akaseki Halfway through the explanation, I suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right!
"Jinchuriki? That is... Tailed Beast weapon? Isn't she still not able to see other people freely?" Guang said coldly.
Akaseki:!!!
Akaseki I almost forgot, light has this kind of perspective!
"That's right! That Hashirama Senju is just messing around!" Akaseki immediately expressed his attitude.
Light:...
Akaseki still looked unhappy when he saw Guang, so he further explained, "Actually... it's not that serious. Jinchuriki like Iwagakure usually appears on the battlefield as the main force in combat.
"Kushina is also protected because Nine-Tails is not under control yet, and...Minato and I, her friends, often visit her."
At this time, Guang's mouth curled up coldly and said, "Uncontrollable... In other words, everyone should still be afraid of Jinchuriki, or even reject them?"
Obviously, in terms of folk customs, Warring States Period will only be worse than the Ninja Village era. Light knows this very well - the reason why Uchiha Clan three hundred years ago chose to use light as a "weapon" and "obliterate all emotions" was essentially because he was worried that he could not control it, because... fear!
The light's "Yachihoko" is really too strong...
Especially when Uchiha Clan decided to infuse all the pupil skills in Mangekyō Sharingan that had been saved before into light, the tribe's "concern" for her reached its peak.
So...
Her human side was completely obliterated so that others could feel reassured.
"I don't know about the other Ninja Village. Anyway, Kushina is Konoha's ninja and my important companion!" Akaseki immediately cut with other Ninja Village.
Especially Kumogakure and Sunagakure...
Good luck, why are you so afraid of Jinchuriki?
"Is the Sealing in her body Nine-Tails... No wonder it's not easy to control." Guang nodded thoughtfully.
Tailed Beast has existed since the time of Ninshu, Guang naturally knows about it, and Akaseki sounds like she has encountered her before!
"I'll go tomorrow too." Guang said matter-of-factly.
"Ah? She is Uzumaki Clan after all. You may still have Sealing residue on your body. Let me go find out the information for you first..." Akaseki was stunned when he heard this, and was a little reluctant for her to see Kushina.
Even if Minato sees something, Akaseki has no intention of breaking the jar, not to mention that Kushina is different from Minato, Even if Minato sees something, he will keep it secret for Akaseki, but Kushina... is always being monitored and surrounded by Anbu's people, so there is no secret at all!
"I'm going to see that Kushina tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" Guang asked calmly.
Akaseki:...
"Then... let's go together."
