Chapter 76: Some things are happier if you pretend not to know! (Totally wrong!)
Konoha Fifty...I don't know how many years, but it was the year when Naruto turned two years old, at the end of summer.
Konoha, which had been at peace for many days, suddenly entered a tense wartime state due to something, and ninjas were sent out in batches by the senior officials.
Similar to Konoha, the other four countries... no, the countries with ninjas have entered a tense wartime state, as if the Fourth Ninja War is about to happen.
The five major countries, as well as the alliance of small countries led by the Rain Country, are actively preparing and constantly sending ninja forces to certain places.
Konoha, a small steel ball shop on the corner of Sanchome.
Three months ago, from the day this small steel ball shop opened, a certain silver curly became a regular customer here.
No matter it's windy or raining, you can always see a silver curly hair sitting next to the machine with dead fish eyes staring at it with no motivation.
"oh--!!"
Looking at the electronic screen in front of him, Gintoki's face rarely burst out with some kind of excitement that was about to break through the sky.
The congratulatory sound of the machine sounded, it was the grand prize!
"I hit it! I finally hit it!"
Seeing the small steel balls continuously pouring out from under the machine, Gintoki was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement, but he suddenly disappeared before he started to formally figure out how to spend the money he won today.
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Minato who was sitting at his desk and had just put down the special kunai in his hand with a serious expression. Gintoki's forehead gradually turned black.
Minato, who used the upgraded Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Gintoki over, looked at Gintoki, Kakashi, Obito, Shisui and Rin in front of him, and finally spoke.
"Gintoki, there is an urgent task that cannot be delayed and requires your strength."
"I know." Gintoki nodded solemnly.
"As expected of Gintoki, I know you must have noticed it. In this case, I will make the story short. Actually..."
Before Minato finished speaking, Gintoki turned around and opened the door to the Hokage's room, minding his own business.
"I'm so lucky today! Gin-san is not a stingy person. I will take you to let's party after winning money, Hokage-sama!"
Saying that, Gintoki stopped, turned around and gave a thumbs up, "Also, don't worry, a woman who gets in the way will never know!"
Seeing Gintoki's righteous face, Minato was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth.
At the same time, Gintoki suddenly felt that there seemed to be some strange arrogance behind him that was rising little by little and finally reached a certain limit.
"Gintoki? Who do you think is the obstructive woman?"
Hearing such a voice behind him, Ginshiro pretended that nothing happened, scratched his messy bird's nest-like hair, shook his head and sighed.
"Ah~ It's really troublesome. Don't you know that pretending not to know about some things is the basis for maintaining family harmony? The new arrivals in my husband's workplace are always young and beautiful juniors whom my husband can tutor alone after get off work. She is a young woman living alone who asks her husband to help at home. Only by ignoring these things can we keep the family on the verge of being broken apart intact and harmonious, Miss Jupiter."
"It's Kushina!"
Kushina whispered through gritted teeth, her clenched fists were clattering, her head lowered and her expression getting worse and worse.
Looking at Kushina, who had long red hair and her eyes were flashing fiercely like a beast about to target him, Minato's sense of crisis was instantly heightened.
"Wait a minute! Kushina! Gintoki didn't mean what he said! Please believe me! And the situation is urgent now, so first..."
Looking at Minato who was dripping with sweat and Kakashi and others beside him, Kushina, who could distinguish between public and private matters, finally decided to spare Minato for the time being and wait until the mission was over before questioning him.
"Yoshi, congratulations on learning how an aging housewife can keep her crumbling family afloat."
Gintoki gave Kushina timely applause and congratulated her.
In an instant, the anger that Kushina had just suppressed suddenly came up again, and the red hash marks on her gloomy forehead popped up one after another.
Looking at Kushina who was gritting her teeth and having dense veins on her forehead, Minato, who knew that it would definitely be worse if he didn't say a few nice words today, finally gave in.
"Gintoki, I'm sorry, I pulled you here without saying hello to you first, so what..."
Minato smiled apologetically and whispered, and then he clasped his hands and gave Gintoki a begging look to stop being jealous.
Gintoki-sama, who received Minato's look for help, leaned into Kushina's ear and whispered in a best friend's tone.
"Well, calm down, Mei Jinzi. Didn't I remind you before we got married? Men are just such creatures. There is nothing you can do if you can't control your heart. Controlling your salary is enough.
!”
Looking at Kushina, whose inexplicable arrogance was getting higher and higher, Minato suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in asking Gintoki for help.
But at this time, Laoermi...no, Laoerbu...neither, in short, the very shrewd Sandaime stood up with a dry pipe in his mouth and his hands behind his back.
"Old people feel uncomfortable if they don't exercise every day. Minato, I'll go out and do some exercise, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Seeing the Sandaime leaving with a smile behind his back, Kakashi and Obito, young men who had officially reached the end of their puberty, also noticed something in time.
However, because Minato didn't open his mouth, he didn't dare to run away rashly for the time being.
"Minato, didn't you say that you need to tell me some details of the mission separately?"
Looking at Kushina who raised her head and bent her eyes with a smile, Minato's heart skipped a beat. Although he wanted to defend himself and said that he didn't say that, he could only acquiesce because of Kushina's expression.
"Okay, everyone, please go out first. I'll listen to the Hokage's mission instructions carefully."
Seeing Kushina driving away people with a smile on her face, Minato also knew that he would not be able to get over this hurdle today!
Gintoki, Gintoki, you are so cruel!
…
Outside the Hokage, Sandai, Gintoki, Kakashi, Obito, Lin and Shisui stood in a row leaning against the wall, waiting for the private conversation in the room to end.
Maybe it was because Kushina had put up some kind of barrier, so the sound of conversation didn't come through at all, but for some reason, the building could be felt shaking from time to time.
Also because of the earthquakes from time to time, a layer of lime fell on Gintoki and others.
"Hey, are you going a little too far?" Kakashi, who had a big fish eye, looked at his elder brother Gintoki who was picking his nose with his little finger casually, "Hokage-sama just didn't inform you in advance to pull you here?"
