Hikaru Hokage

It's still far from true love.

"No, although what you said seems to make sense, I feel that Lin is not like that. And...then what do you think is true love?"

Kushina doesn't think Nohara Rin is the kind of girl who is hesitant and only cares about her face, although her recent behavior is indeed very similar...

One moment, he peeked at Kakashi, and the next moment, he was busy taking her here to meet Hino Hikari.

However, this is normal, after all, Kakashi and Hino Hikaru both look excellent.

Even if it were her place, Uzumaki Kushina, it would probably be difficult to make a choice.

But Kushina never thought that Hino Hikaru would be so honest or calm when facing this problem.

It almost felt like he already had...a girlfriend or wife.

"Real love is of course a feeling. Face and figure are the foundation, but feeling is the most important..."

Although generally you won’t feel it without this foundation.

Hino Hikaru looked back into the eyes of the gossipy kunoichi while chopping vegetables.

"As soon as I see her eyes, love will well up in my heart unconsciously. I think that is the feeling of truly liking someone, rather than being hesitant and unable to say a word after meeting. kind……"

"You, you, you... I didn't expect that you are so young, but what you say makes sense."

Love?

As long as you see each other's eyes, you will well up...

Kushina recalled the way she looked at Minato, and the way Minato looked at her.

There are indeed times like this.

"Then do you feel this way about Lin?"

"..."

This woman is really the type to break the casserole and get to the bottom of things.

Hino Hikaru had no choice but to put down the spatula again.

"not yet."

"'Not yet'~ Just by your words, I have reason to believe that you will be a scumbag who goes around harming girls in the future."

Kushina smiled and hit Hino Hikaru on the shoulder, causing the spatula in his hand to almost fly out.

"..."

Scumbag?

Maybe I really can’t tell…

No, at most he just wants to awaken a few more abilities so that he doesn't really become a scumbag.

He is a good and upright man.

"Just kidding, just kidding, I'm sorry, let me help you cook too!"

Seeing that a pot of food was almost destroyed by her, and Hino Hikaru didn't speak for a long time, Kushina quickly bowed her head and apologized, and then forcibly took the spatula from Hino Hikaru's hand.

-

"Lin, didn't you say before that you like the bento I made the most? Why don't you eat a bite now?"

"Ah I……"

Nohara Rin went to taste Hino Hikaru's cooking, but she still remembered that Kushina also cooked.

She didn't take a bite until she was reminded.

Well, as expected, it’s not as delicious as Hino-san’s.

"How is it? I'm not familiar with the kitchen here, maybe it's not very good..."

"delicious."

Nohara Lin smiled and nodded.

Although she turned around and moved her chopsticks to other dishes.

"Is Obito okay now? Do you want to bring him dinner?"

Kushina looked at Kakashi, who came last.

"Fortunately, the Uchiha clan is taking care of him."

Kakashi remembered the polite rejection he had received in the Uchiha clan, and shook his head slightly.

But Obito's treatment is not bad, so they shouldn't need to worry about it anymore.

"Hmm! Light, the food you cook is so delicious!"

Uzumaki Kushina, who only started to use her chopsticks at this time, after trying a bite of the food, quickly looked at Hino Hikari who was sitting not far from her in surprise.

"Light?"

This woman sat directly in the main seat and regarded this as her own home. Why did she suddenly call him by his name?

Also too familiar.

Because he is rarely called by his name by other people, even as a time traveler, Hino Hikaru is really not used to someone suddenly calling him by his first name instead of his last name.

"What? Isn't your name wrong? This is the first time I've seen someone talk to me so openly when we first met, so I unconsciously wanted to call you by your first name."

Kushina carelessly sat cross-legged under the low wooden table, completely treating this place as her own home.

"Ah, by the way, you can just call me Kushina-sister, just like them."

"Oh."

Hino Hikaru nodded indifferently.

Has he spoken candidly before?

Well, maybe it was because of the filter in the original work, so I basically didn’t put any precautions against Kushina when we chatted just now.

"Kushina-san, what did you and Hino-san talk about?"

After seeing Kushina seem to become close to Hino Hikaru all of a sudden, Nohara Rin felt a little uncomfortable.

I'm also a little curious about what topics Kushina and Hino talked about during her absence.

"This one……"

Kushina held her chopsticks in her mouth and rolled her lively eyes.

"It's a secret that can't be told to Lin, right, Aguang?"

"Pfft... don't call my name like that."

Hearing the name "Guang", Hino Hikaru almost spit out his rice.

"I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to bear it because of Kushina-san's teasing."

Seeing Hino Hikaru's embarrassment, Kakashi on the side showed a little surprise and a smile.

"I didn't expect that I would still be called that."

Hino Hikaru shook his head helplessly.

---

"Okay, let's put aside the joking. Now that we've finished eating, let's go for a walk in the yard."

"To the yard? Why?"

It's still quite cold outside, wouldn't it be nice to stay inside?

And didn’t Hino-san say that he wanted to ask Sister Kushina something?

Nohara Lin tilted her head in confusion.

"Let's go, Kakashi."

However, Hino Hikaru did not explain Nohara Rin's doubts, but looked at Kakashi with his eyes.

Then he looked at Uzumaki Kushina who was walking at the front.

"Kushina, what do you think of Danzo?"

Now they were out of the house and into the empty yard.

"Tuanzo?"

This sudden topic quickly confused Uzumaki Kushina.

Didn't he want to help her subdue the two Anbu who had been following her? Why did she ask such a question in the first place?

Could it be that those two Anbu hiding in the dark are Danzo's subordinates?

"Don't you think that as a person who is neither Hokage nor an advisor to the elders of Konoha, he has too much power in Konoha? Moreover, he can always hide in a place unknown to most people in the village and do some things. Weird things often endanger people in the village, but even so, no one raised any objections to the existence of Danzo and his roots. Don’t you think this is strange? Something?"

"It's indeed... very strange."

Kushina nodded, then thought for a moment and then immediately raised her head emotionally.

"Yes, I feel that he has more power than the Hokage. The Hokage obviously agreed to let me go out of the village to do the mission, but his objection resulted in me having to stay in the village, and my marriage to Minato was also unavailable. ...Even, even my interactions and dates with Minato have to be interfered by him! How abominable!"

Originally, the rest time for Minato's mission was very short, and then he had to be blocked or monitored by Danzo. Kushina had long been angry with Danzo.

"There's no need to talk about such...private matters. I feel that the Namikaze Jonin is really pitiful."

Moreover, hasn't she considered that all of this is Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo playing tricks on each other?

One pretends to support, the other sternly opposes, and then the person pretending to support starts to talk nonsense to persuade people to give up, and then makes false promises.

Does this woman believe in this kind of trick that adults use to coax children?

Hino Hikaru only expected that Kushina would probably hate Danzo.

But I didn't expect Kushina to be so specific.

However, those Anbu lurking in the dark will probably be confused for a while after hearing this.

This is a good time!

"Quick, you can help me!"

Thinking of this, Hino Hikaru immediately gave an order to Kakashi.

Although he was a little confused, Kakashi, who also sensed someone was nearby, quickly made the same move as Hino.

The two of them ran towards both sides of Uzumaki Kushina like two black shadows.

Then at the same time, he used kunai to kill the two ANBU members who had not yet remembered their reactions.

However, the difference is that Hino Hikaru just knocked the opponent unconscious with kunai, while Kakashi directly...

He directly wiped the ANBU's neck with kunai.

"Kakashi, you are too murderous. This is a comrade in the village."

"What should I do?"

Kakashi thought these two Anbu were enemies, and he would no longer show any mercy to his enemies.

He even stabbed the other person in the chest after wiping his neck.

He perfectly followed Hikaru's previous advice to him, "Remember to hit the enemy with last hits."

"What else can we do? Kill them all and bury them."

As Hino Hikaru said, he looked back at Uzumaki Kushina's face at this time.

"By the way, leave the clothes and mask, they will be useful later."

"Ah."

Kakashi expressionlessly pulled off the clothes of the two ANBU.

"You, you guys, are you going a little too far?"

Although she acquiesced to the two of them to help her subdue the ANBU that had been following her, Uzumaki Kushina thought it was just a matter of simply making a fuss and knocking people out, instead of destroying the corpses and eradicating traces like now...

"It doesn't matter. Didn't Lord Hokage promise a long time ago that you will not send ANBU to follow you again? No matter whether we kill these people or knock these people out, he will just pretend that it never happened. of."

"You even know this, you...you..."
