They all chimed in at once, terrified that Ye Liang might be dissatisfied!
After all, Ye Liang's strength was plain to see. If he truly became dissatisfied and left, it would not be good for Konoha either.
"Mm, I understand." Ye Liang was ecstatic inside!
But he still held it in.
Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat relieved.
Although Ye Liang was unhappy, since he had agreed, it meant he was still willing to remain in Konoha.
"Ye Liang, actually, there is one more matter I need to discuss with you."
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he looked toward Kushina beside him.
"I know Minato's last wishes as well. Since he thought highly of you and entrusted Kushina to your care, that proves his faith in your character. I am an old man and cannot meddle in you young people's affairs. Let things be as he wished."
He said it lightly, but the people below immediately sensed that something was wrong!
They had noticed something strange the moment Kushina stood beside Ye Liang, but they never expected Lord Minato to have an outsider care for his wife and child. It was truly unimaginable!
In this era, entrusting one's wife and child to another really only meant asking them to help look after them. People often died in the Naruto World, and their widows were often entrusted to friends and relatives to care for.
That was perfectly normal!
But after enough time passed, things could start to feel off!
Ye Liang was still single, while Kushina was in the prime of her life. If they failed to restrain themselves and did something, it would not exactly be unheard of!
Such things had happened often enough in Konoha before!
My Little Stories with a Widow.
I Fell in Love with My Friend's Widow.
My Forbidden Love with My Widow Sister-in-Law.
Me and the One on the Bus.
There were plenty of those, and every one of them was shocking and unforgettable!
Many male jonin had read them.
That was how terrifying it was!
"Lord Third Hokage, this will not do!" A square-faced jonin stepped forward. His name was Morino Ibiki, skilled in interrogation ninjutsu and the only jonin Ye Liang knew.
"That's right, Lord Hokage. Lady Kushina is the Fourth Hokage's widow. How can she be handed over to an outsider's care? In my opinion, even if she is to be entrusted to someone, it must be an upright and trustworthy person!"
"Indeed! If you ask me, Lady Kushina should be cared for by one of our own. Personally, I think Lord Ibiki is well suited for this role. He is mature and humorous, making him perfect for it!"
As he spoke, he winked at Morino Ibiki, clearly trying to coordinate with him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression instantly darkened!
They had just been praising Ye Liang's character, yet now they suddenly came out to exclude outsiders. He truly had no idea what these younger people were thinking.
Right now, Hiruzen Sarutobi only cared about Ye Liang's thoughts.
Ye Liang was a Kage-level ninja. If they angered him and he turned against the village, that would be a major disaster!
At that moment, Ye Liang finally spoke.
"Lord Hokage, since everyone is unwilling, then go find someone else. If I, Ye Liang, lose the title of Konoha Guest Elder, it will not cost me a piece of flesh."
He blew out his beard and glared, putting on an angry act. At last, no one dared speak.
What a joke, Minato entrusted them to me!
Ye Liang did not know what these people were thinking, but he truly was an upright person.
Minato had been willing to use his life to seal the Nine-Tails. How many people could possess such astonishing resolve!
Therefore, Ye Liang wanted to help him. No matter what others thought, Ye Liang truly wanted to take good care of Uzumaki Kushina. On one hand, he wanted to fulfill Minato's request. On the other, he wanted to see whether Naruto, without the Nine-Tails, would walk a different path.
As a Naruto Fan, he was looking forward to it!
Seeing that no one spoke, Hiruzen did not know what else to say.
These fools usually knew exactly how to flatter and smooth things over, but at a crucial moment, they could only let him down. Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea how to salvage the situation.
Just as Ye Liang grew angry and pretended he was about to leave, a pair of small hands gently grabbed his arm.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. I know you all sincerely wish to help our Namikaze family, but since my husband entrusted me to Ye Liang, that means he approved of him. I am a woman, and I must honor my husband's wishes."
Kushina gripped Ye Liang's arm with a resolute expression, as though she had set her mind on him.
Silence fell over the office once more.
"You're really willing to come with me?" A trace of surprise appeared on Ye Liang's face.
"Mm."
Kushina nodded.
These were Minato's last wishes. Moreover, Kushina did not want Konoha to offend such a terrifying enemy because of her affairs. It was also something a former Hokage's wife did not wish to see!
Now that the person involved had spoken, the other jonin could only fall silent. Only Morino Ibiki still wore a somewhat displeased expression.
"Alright! Meeting adjourned!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi announced the end of the meeting.
That night.
Ye Liang eagerly headed to Minato Namikaze's home.
Since Ye Liang had never had a house of his own, once Minato entrusted Kushina to him, it was practically the same as giving him his house for free.
Ye Liang was delighted.
After packing up his belongings, he moved in.
That very night.
Minato's house was incredibly noisy, far from ordinarily noisy. Even the neighbors next door were awakened by the commotion. No one knew what had happened; they only knew that Ye Liang fled back to Anko's house in the middle of the night!
Strong and hungry!
But no one asked about it, since they all understood.
The next day.
Anko angrily kicked Ye Liang out of bed.
"Weren't you thrilled last night?!"
"Why did you come crawling back halfway through?!"
"Go find your mature married woman!"
The three furious shouts rang out like thunder!
Ye Liang was speechless as well.
"Didn't I tell you last night? The moment I got there, that little brat Naruto kept crying nonstop. I lay awake in bed for half the night!"
"Heh, was it really Naruto crying? Why do I feel like you were the one crying? Maybe your body just can't do it anymore!"
"Damn! What did you say?!"
A surge of anger rose in Ye Liang, and he instantly pinned Anko onto the bed.
"Can I do it or not? Do you dare try me!"
A man could not be told he could not do it. Even though Ye Liang was easygoing, those words were still a fuse.
Anko's face immediately turned red.
Ye Liang's heavy breaths puffed against her face one after another, leaving her completely unable to resist.
She was already fifteen!
The perfect age for a young girl's first stirrings of love!
In his previous life, fifteen-year-old girls were already dating like crazy. Only in the Naruto World was fifteen still considered a child.
Ye Liang also sensed that something was off.
Since when did this little girl have such a good figure?
