Kushina Uzumaki watched Bieshu Feifan walk away, puzzled.
"Minato, is he a friend of yours?"
Minato was just as baffled.

So Bieshu Feifan simply started hanging around Might Duy full-time.
They took missions together and trained together.
This was fine too. Bieshu Feifan wasn't short of money anyway, and hanging out with Might Guy and Might
