Chapter 100: Men should treat themselves better too!
When Kakashi and Obito sent the Daimyo and the Sandaime home in a covert manner, Gintoki, who was drunk but still sober, was left alone by Minato.
It's about the escort mission for the Daimyo-sama on his way back tomorrow. This kind of mission has been exclusive to Gintoki over the years.
Although he was very relieved about Gintoki, Minato felt that he still had to give a few words of warning not to take the daimyo to some strange places halfway. It would not be good to spread the word.
For example, the last time the Daimyo came to Konoha, he followed Gintoki to a human body sushi shop on the way back. He didn't recognize him because he was visiting privately incognito. It would be really bad if he recognized him.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I won't go to that place again. No one will eat that kind of sushi on an old man's wrinkled skin. He was kicked out last time."
"As long as you understand." Minato nodded subconsciously, but then he noticed something was wrong, "Wait a minute, Gintoki, there is an old man in that store? And what happened to being kicked out?"
"No, if the daimyo wants to try the work of the lower class people, I will satisfy him."
"Is it the Daimyo-sama?!"
Minato almost squirted out, his eyes twitched, and he looked at Gintoki with a black line on his forehead. He really didn't expect such a development!
I thought that the daimyo-sama might go to that kind of place to consume, but I didn’t expect that he was actually being consumed!
"Although no one patronized the Daimyo-sama that whole day, I told him not to give up! The most important thing is not to give up. As long as you don't give up, you will definitely be able to sell one or two sushi next time!"
Minato:......
Can the word "persistence and never give up" be used in other places? It shouldn't be used in this kind of place, right?
Boom!
A knock on the door brought Minato back to his senses.
"Come in."
The furniture store clerk who opened the door and walked in came to Minato and respectfully handed over an invoice and said: "Hokage-sama, the sofa has been delivered to your home."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Minato opened his mouth, read the invoice, opened the drawer and took out the money he had prepared. Although his heart was bleeding, he still reluctantly handed it to the clerk.
The bankbook, salary, etc. are all now in Kushina's hands, and she has picked out the money bit by bit from between her teeth.
The Sandaime is right, there are no married men who don't hide private money, they are all forced to do so.
There is no way. The sofa at home is really hard and I can't bear it after sleeping for two months. If I go to the guest room to sleep, it feels like being separated, which is not good.
It's better to change to something softer in advance. After all, Minato also has a hunch that he may sleep on the sofa often in the future.
As a man, you should be kind to yourself sometimes.
After the clerk from the furniture store took the money and left, Minato was just about to let Gintoki go when he suddenly thought of something else.
"Gintoki, I'll ask you to be the guard of the Rain Country in ten days."
…
The next day, Minato, who along with the Sandaime and several senior officials of the village watched Gintoki and the daimyo-sama leave slowly in a super high-end sedan, was pulled down by the Sandaime just as he was about to teleport back to the Hokage Building.
"Minato, I heard that you just bought a new sofa. Which store did you buy it from?"
Minato was silent as he looked at the Sandaime, who was carrying everyone on his back and had a slightly subtle expression on his hands, with even faint palm prints visible on his face.
Needless to say, this was beaten by Lord Biwako.
…
A week later, Gintoki returned.
Looking at the mission report handed over by Gintoki, Minato's expression was still subtle.
This time when escorting the Daimyo back, Gintoki didn't take the Daimyo to a human body sushi restaurant again, but he did go to a human body sushi shop on the way!
The daimyo once again tried to work as a civilian! He started doing that kind of business! And still no one came to visit him!
Minato was a little desperate and didn't even want to imagine the scene at that time. Once he imagined it, he felt that the scene was full of mosaics.
The daimyo was lying alone on the table, his body covered with various cooking ingredients, and not a single customer came to him for a whole day!
So pathetic!
"Don't get me wrong, we have customers this time! The daimyo-sama who has tried ordinary people's work is also very satisfied this time!"
"Huh? Really?" Minato asked quickly, although I don't know what to say about this kind of thing, but as long as the Daimyo is satisfied, that's fine.
"Well, even after eating it, the person vomited it out on the spot."
Minato:......
Sorry, Lord Daimyo!
…
A few days later, after receiving a specific meeting time notice from the Country of Rain, Minato arranged things in the village and set out on a day-to-day basis.
This time Minato went with the intention of learning. After all, I heard that the people attending this meeting were all big names from small countries who held all the real power.
And he is only the Hokage of Konoha, and the only things he can control are Konoha and Konoha surroundings. It is different from the situation in the Land of Rain where the leader of the ninja village is also the leader of the country.
Minato brought four people, Gintoki, Shisui and Hizashi from the Hyuga clan, the three of them were brought along in the name of bodyguards.
The reason why Minato brought Shikaku, who had just started working at the Hokage Building, was because Minato was optimistic about Shikaku and wanted Shikaku to learn from him.
Of course, this configuration also conveys other meanings. Bringing Uchiha and Hinata is to express his goodwill towards the two major families in the village.
The book records the famous saying of the First Hokage - the meaning of a village is to eliminate the boundaries between families and merge into one.
But even people like the first Hokage failed to do this.
Minato is determined to do it, but so far he still hasn't found any good method, especially the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan.
The situation of the Uchiha clan has begun to improve due to the reform of the police force in recent years, but like the Hyuga clan, the family concept is still too heavy.
His own generation must completely resolve this matter. This is the goal Minato has set for himself.
History moves forward, and it is the responsibility of future generations to surpass their predecessors and solve problems that their predecessors have not been able to solve.
…
Two days later.
Looking at the Yuyin Village that had changed so much in the past few years, Minato couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although the rain still didn't stop, the smiles on the faces of the people who came to welcome him came from the bottom of their hearts.
"Welcome, Hokage-dono."
Looking at Yahiko, who had yellow hair in front of him and was much more mature than the last time they met, Minato's thoughts were drawn back to the last time they met.
At that time, what Guisang said, "Maybe he will be my disciple." It became a prophecy.
"We meet again, Lord Yahiko."
Witnessed by the likes of Nagato, Konan, ninjas from the Country of Rain, and the people of the Country of Rain, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha held hands with the leader of the Country of Rain, Yahiko.
It also represents that the relationship between the two countries... no, at least two ninja villages has entered a new historical period.
