Hikaru Hokage

"Gift."

"what gift?"

"Birthday gifts, everyone gave them, but you didn't."

"Teacher I just met today, how can I have time to prepare a birthday gift for you? Besides, our friendship is not that deep..."

"Oh, then I won't teach you the sealing technique tomorrow."

Not a deep friendship?

Well, her feelings are her own fault, right?

Kushina bulged her cheeks while still chewing the cake.

"..."

This is the only way to threaten, right?

Can this person also be a teacher?

It's not that Hino Hikaru doesn't want to give a birthday gift, it's just that he really hasn't thought about it.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. You are such a troublesome teacher."

Ah, teacher?

correct……

Hino Hikaru suddenly thought of a birthday gift for Kushina.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time and you are so inactive towards the teacher. If you want to learn something advanced in the future, be careful that the teacher doesn't teach you."

Apparently he didn't even open the gift from Tsunade.

But Kushina was a little impatient to know what gift this traitor wanted to give her.

"My gift to the teacher is——"

Hino Hikaru said as he pulled Tsunade over who was still sharing the cake.

"?"

Tsunade looked confused.

Don't you want to give a gift?

Did you pull her over to give her as a gift to someone else?

While thinking this, Tsunade secretly pinched Hino Hikaru's weak spot.

"Let Sister Tsunade accept Kushina-sensei as her disciple."

Brother-in-law Naoki is a disciple of Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato is a disciple of Jiraiya. Logically speaking, Kushina should be a disciple of Tsunade.

But she was not.

So Hino Hikaru planned to help her realize this dream. It just so happened that she was quite curious about strange power punches before.

"Eh?"

Tsunade didn't expect that the gift prepared by Hino Hikaru was actually her.

She has never thought about accepting any disciples, and she hasn't even taught Shizune yet...

The main reason is that she feels that she is very unreliable, loves gambling and drinking, and is afraid of disturbing others.

"Wha, what, you, you are not Sister Tsunade, why should you make decisions for Sister Tsunade? And... you still... think of this as a gift from you, how shameless..."

I have to say that this "gift" arranged by Hino Hikaru really went to Kushina's heart.

She had long wanted to take Tsunade-san as her disciple, but she had never been able to say it out loud.

And Tsunade is not in the village most of the time, she can't find her even if she wants to look for it...

"Don't forget it."

"Who said I don't want it! Ahem...I, I mean...it also depends on whether Sister Tsunade is willing to accept me."

Kushina sneaked a glance at Tsunade every time she said a word.

"Do you really want to be my student?"

After seeing Kushina's reaction, Tsunade, no matter how slow she was, understood that Hino Hikaru's proposal was not a whim.

"Ah, this, I...Tsunade-sister..."

"It's really greasy."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Kushina glanced at Hino Hikaru, and then finally responded loudly.

"Yes, I have always wanted to become Sister Tsunade's disciple! But, is it possible?"

"It's not a big deal, but let me tell you first, I don't have that much time... ahem, I may not be able to teach you well."

If it weren't for Hino Hikaru, Tsunade felt that she would not have gotten into such trouble.

But seeing how excited Kushina was, she still softened her heart.

"That's not the case. I think Sister Tsunade is the best teacher in the ninja world!"

No rejection, no rejection!

Very good!

Kushina was so excited that she subconsciously hugged the person who gave her this special birthday gift.

"Ah, I hugged the wrong person!"

After realizing that she actually hugged Hino Hikari, her stinky younger brother, Kushina quickly let go of her hands.

Then when he turned around, he saw the dissatisfaction on Nohara Lin's face as expected.

"..."

But what she didn't notice was that Tsunade's face also showed a blue expression at this time.

Chapter 76 Get married when you become Hokage

"Tsunade-sama, Kushina..."

Namikaze Minato couldn't find Kushina anywhere. After accidentally going to Obito's place, he found out that Kushina was celebrating her birthday at Tsunade's house tonight.

No wonder besides Kushina, Rin and Kakashi were not found in the village.

However, fortunately no accident occurred...

"She's here with me, what are you doing here?"

Tsunade had already vaguely guessed that Kushina probably had a fight with Minato Namikaze today, so when she saw Minato Namikaze knocking on the door, she wasn't too surprised and didn't give him any good looks.

"I'm here...to apologize to her."

Tsunade-sama seems like Kushina’s elder...

Well, she is.

Facing Tsunade like this, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel a little smaller.

"What did you do earlier? It's so late now."

Although she had seen the bouquet that Namikaze Minato was holding again, as well as a beautifully wrapped gift, as well as the other party's sincere expression, Tsunade remained calm.

Even now, no one has been let in from the door.

"Yes, it's my fault..."

Namikaze Minato's momentum dropped again.

"You also know how Kushina came here when she was a child. I saw that your relationship was pretty good before, so I didn't plan to care about you anymore. But now, I think you no longer cherish it after you get it? Or are you relying on Kushina? Nai likes you, so you can stop caring about her? You see, you haven't been seen all day long, and even for your birthday, Kushina can't even see you..."

"No, no, I definitely have no intention of not cherishing Kushina. The main reason is that there have been too many tasks in the village recently, and the Hokage just now... But I am also reflecting on it. I couldn't save time today, yes I was wrong, the fight with Kushina was also my problem."

"Is the mission important? I don't see any fighting on the front line. If you think the mission of finding Cat and Dog is more important than Kushina, I think you should go back early."

"Yes, it was my fault. I shouldn't make excuses. I will never do this again next time... Please, Tsunade-sama, let me see Kushina, or I can pass this on to her."

"Do you want another time?"

"No, I..."

Looking at Tsunade who was blocking the door like a mother-in-law, Namikaze Minato was sweating all over his body.

It seems that I won’t see Kushina today...

-

"This is the first time I've seen Minato show such an expression. It turns out he is so afraid of Tsunade-san. It's really funny."

Somehow, although she was no longer angry with Minato now, seeing Tsunade standing at the door like her biological sister and preaching to Minato like this, Kushina felt a little indescribable happiness in her heart.

Even if her happiness was a little bit based on Namikaze Minato's pain.

"It's not what he's afraid of..."

But looking at it this way, Tsunade really feels like an elder sister and a mother.

No... wait, if Tsunade is the eldest sister like mother, shouldn't he, the eldest brother-in-law, be considered as such?

Ok?

Thinking of this, Hino Hikaru couldn't help but glance back and forth at Kushina's face and Namikaze Minato's face in a strange way.

I thought it was a master-student relationship, but it turned out to be a father-daughter/father-son relationship?

"Shizune, clean up another guest room and come out."

"Yes."

Maybe Minato was more sincere in admitting his mistake, or maybe Tsunade was a little tired from talking.

In short, Namikaze Minato was let in.

And a room was arranged for him.

It really feels a bit like having a home-based son-in-law...

"Humph."

After seeing Namikaze Minato coming over, Kushina immediately changed her expression, looking like she was still angry.

"Kushina..."

"Put the things over there. It's getting late and I have to take a rest. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

After leaving such cold words, Kushina turned away and left without even looking at Namikaze Minato who was about to continue apologizing.

"Um……"

And Namikaze Minato could only continue to apologize.

Hino Hikaru, who was watching from the side, felt a little pitiful for him.

-

However, the one who was really pitiful tonight was not Kushina who was living here as a guest, or Minato Namikaze who was arranged to sleep in the house as a guest.

It was even more impossible that Shizune had a good night's sleep since she never heard Tsunade's "scream" again.

But... Hino Hikaru and Tsunade were forced to stop midway through the afternoon.

It was a long night for both of them, and they had no intention of sleeping, but there was nothing they could do.

Tomorrow, we must clear out everyone tomorrow!

Holding Kushina in her arms and thinking of Hikaru, Tsunade made a firm decision in her heart.

No one else is allowed to borrow it from now on!

-

Hino Hikaru also spent a long time before falling asleep.
