Shizune knew that Lady Tsunade was a strong-willed person, so she had no choice but to pretend to feel unwell and leave with Tsunade.
Mirai watched Tsunade disappear into the distance, then glanced around before whispering to Namikaze Minato, "Hey, Minato, teach me how to use the Spiral Pill sometime! Don't tell Tsunade... huh?"
"Ah... yeah! Got it, hehe..."
Surprisingly, both of Konoha's legendary figures, Lord Mirai and Lady Tsunade, had rather strange personalities. They seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined. Well... but that seemed pretty good too...
"Summoning Technique!"
Poof!...
A mottled toad with the character for "Loyalty" hanging around its neck was summoned by Mirai. Mirai said that it was Toad Loyalty, specifically responsible for safeguarding the summoning contract scrolls.
"Minato! Sign the contract here, and you'll be able to use summoning techniques!"
"Okay!"
Following Mirai's instructions, Minato quickly completed the contract.
Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram!
"Summoning Technique!"
Poof!!!
A cloud of white smoke drifted away, and Minato suddenly summoned a spirit beast.
"Oh??? Very good, Minato! You learned summoning so quickly... Let me see what you summoned. Hmm..."
Mirai thought, As long as it isn't Gamabunta. That guy has far too much of a temper! This is Minato's first time using summoning; if he summoned him, he'll be in for it.
"Hey!!!???"
Seeing Mirai's astonished expression, Minato looked utterly bewildered. He asked, "Uh, is something wrong? CC?"
"Huh!?? You again, Mirai! Why did you summon me out here???"
Asked by the toad, Mirai felt rather awkward. "No, no, Gamabunta, I wasn't the one who summoned you this time!"
"Not you? Is there anyone else who can summon me? Why don't I know about that..."
"Hm? Who's standing on this old man's head? Get down here and pay your respects to this old man!!!"
