Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the Fourth Hokage before him, unsure what he meant by what he had just said. Was he testing him? After all, the Uchiha Clan still had a certain amount of influence!
"Lord Hokage, you must already know what happened just now. If I hadn't stepped in to help, that girl would surely have come to harm."
"I only stepped in to help!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki said nervously. With his current strength, he still had no way of dealing with someone at Kage Level.
Besides, this was his first time meeting the Fourth Hokage, and he had no idea what the man was plotting. Still, he understood one thing: he was a good person.
Namikaze Minato wasn't surprised to see Uchiha Matsuzaki so nervous. He simply smiled.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not interrogating you. After hearing about what happened, I just wanted to meet you. I know there are a few geniuses in the Uchiha Clan."
"After meeting you today, I can see that your clan really is a breeding ground for talent! Hahaha!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki relaxed a little after hearing what Namikaze Minato had just said.
"You're still in school, right? After you graduate, would you be interested in joining the Anbu? With your talent, you're sure to go far!"
Namikaze Minato stood up and came over beside Uchiha Matsuzaki as he spoke.
Uchiha Matsuzaki thought it over, then said, "I'm not planning to join the Anbu right now. Besides, I don't think I'm very strong yet. If I joined the Anbu, I might end up holding everyone back!"
Namikaze Minato was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Good. You certainly live up to being part of the Uchiha Clan. All right, if you decide you want to join in the future, come to me anytime!"
"Ten seconds left until check-in..."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six... one. Check-in successful."
"All right, that's all. Those two have already received the punishment they deserve. If there's nothing else, you can head back." Namikaze Minato looked out the window as he spoke.
Uchiha Matsuzaki had successfully checked in, so there was no reason to stay any longer. He soon left.
Looking through the window at Uchiha Matsuzaki in the middle of the courtyard, Namikaze Minato wore a complicated expression. He didn't know what this boy would be able to change.
"That scared the life out of me. I never expected that after just a few words..."
"What makes me even happier is the check-in reward. It's practically a bug—unlimited chakra!"
The reward Uchiha Matsuzaki had received from checking in just now was unlimited chakra.
In this world, chakra was like the mana bar in a game. With an unlimited supply, he could keep using ninjutsu forever.
"Unlimited! Hahaha! Even if I run into a really powerful enemy, I can wear him down." Uchiha Matsuzaki laughed as he walked along the road.
As he walked down the street, Uchiha Matsuzaki suddenly remembered something.
"School starts tomorrow, I think. After the Third Shinobi World War, school was closed for a while, and today is the last day."
"And Mom and my little sister are coming home today!"
"I've already checked in twice today. I should head home. I'll get my things ready this afternoon and go to school tomorrow."
After muttering to himself for a while, Uchiha Matsuzaki arrived at the marketplace, planning to buy a few things.
"I didn't finish my run this morning, but I ran into her. Compared to that, running doesn't matter at all!"
Uchiha Matsuzaki looked at the people on the street and thought to himself.
What had happened today really was a bit unexpected, as if it had all been arranged by fate.
And so, Uchiha Matsuzaki happily bought a lot of things. By the time he finished shopping, it was noon. He then carried everything home.
