After Hatake Akira walked away, Yuhi Shinku's already serious face became even colder, and he added some strength to Yuhi Shinku's words.
"Why do you always make decisions for me!" Xihi Kurenai refused to give in. "And I don't remember you arranging any special training for me!"
"You didn't have any free time before, but now you have." Xihi Shinku said with a frown, "Besides, the entertainment activities scheduled in advance have been cancelled. You won't have any free time before school starts."
"you……!"
"Call me father!"
"Father..." Xihi Hong cried and immediately gave in. "Ming... He is a very good person and works very hard. This exam result is the best proof of that."
"Hong, you are still young. You can't draw conclusions about many things so early."
"But……"
"No buts!" Xihi Zhenhong pulled Xihi Hong home, "If you don't curb your prematurely mature thoughts, don't blame your father for using some tough measures."
Xiuri Zhenhong was really angry. Xiuri Zhenhong almost never refuted him, but this time her own daughter actually argued with him for a brat. It would be strange if Xiuri Zhenhong felt comfortable.
And when Yuhi Kurenai heard Yuhi Shinku say this, she immediately stopped talking. She believed that her father would do what he said.
With a gloomy face, Xiurihong followed Xiuri Zhenhong and reluctantly went home with him.
And Hatake Akira was hiding behind a stall at this time. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the father and daughter walk away.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that Yuhi Kurenai will quarrel with Yuhi Shinku for me.
If this were to happen, their newly-started relationship would probably be forced to be interrupted for a few days due to external forces.
Although premature love is a very common thing in the Naruto world, it is rare for parents to catch them in the act.
If they see this, I believe few fathers would be able to just laugh it off. Not taking action may be a sign of restraint.
After calming down, Hatake Akira left the commercial street with the gifts he had prepared and slowly headed towards Minato Namikaze's house.
……
knock knock knock.
"Minato, you called your friends today?"
Uzumaki Kushina, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the knock on the door and curiously stuck her head out, while Namikaze Minato, who was sitting at the dining table waiting, shook his head.
"No one said they were coming." Namikaze Minato stood up, "I'll go take a look."
"Well, the rice is not cooked yet. If you stay for dinner, I'll make some more."
"Haha, okay..." Minato Namikaze scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
How dark is the dark cuisine made by Uzumaki Kushina? Namikaze Minato has a say, but Uzumaki Kushina just doesn't know...
If the person who came was really an acquaintance and stayed for dinner, Minato Namikaze was afraid to imagine the scene that would happen.
Squeak.
The door was opened, and the first thing Minato Namikaze saw was Hatake Akira's striking silver hair.
"Ming?" A little surprised, "Why did you come here suddenly today?"
"Of course I'm here to get to know Mr. Minato's home." Hatake Akira called Mr. Namikaze Minato directly, and then without waiting for Minato's consent, he took advantage of his short stature and slipped into the house.
"Huh, he is...?" Uzumaki Kushina, who peeked out from time to time, also saw Hatake Akira and asked with some confusion.
"Hello, Master's wife. I am Hatake Ming. You can just call me Ming or Xiao Ming."
"Haha..." Uzumaki Kushina smiled awkwardly, then blushed, "You're so clear, and... Minato and I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't be considered your master's wife."
"And... when did Minato accept a disciple?" Uzumaki Kushina glanced at Namikaze Minato, wanting to get an answer from him.
"I just promised to teach Ming some tips on how to practice the technique of instant body movement...I haven't decided whether to accept him as my disciple." Minato Namikaze explained.
"This..." Uzumaki Kushina blushed and glanced at Hatake Akira, then shrank her neck and went back into the kitchen, "Stinky brat..."
Although she secretly disdained Hatake Akira, Uzumaki Kushina did not look unhappy at all. Instead, she hummed a little tune and her hands became more vigorous in cooking.
"Oh, the kid may not be sensible, but he has good vision. Let's let him go today." Uzumaki Kushina muttered softly, "I don't know what this kid likes to eat. It's so annoying..."
While Uzumaki Kushina was considering giving Akira Hatake a snack, the adult and the child in the living room had already sat down on the sofa.
"Akira, why did you bring so many things?" Namikaze Minato pointed at the many gifts that Hatake Akira had placed on the table. "Also, you spent a lot of money on these things, didn't you?"
"It's not much, just some of my pocket money." Hatake Akira pretended to be relaxed, "Besides, as your disciple, this is my first visit, I can't come here empty-handed."
"You are such a smart kid. I didn't agree to take you as my apprentice." Namikaze Minato smiled and ruffled Hatake Akira's hair.
"It doesn't matter if you disagree now. Just think of it as me preparing for the future relationship between master and disciple."
"What if it doesn't work in the future?"
"I can't refute what the teacher means in the future, but I don't believe you will give up such an excellent disciple like me."
Hatake Akira said this with conviction, and then handed Minato Namikaze a report card, "I believe that Minato-sensei is a man who keeps his promises, and I have completed your first two requests."
Minato Namikaze took the report card handed over by Hatake Akira and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Chapter 28 will gain more impression points.
Many people cannot refuse geniuses, or outstanding people.
Minato Namikaze is also included.
Although he has a gentle personality and generally does not look at people with tinted glasses, as a genius himself, he also has his own unique pride.
Geniuses appreciate each other, and that's how Minato Namikaze felt about Hatake Akira at this moment.
At first, he might just be surprised by Hatake Akira's special abilities, and thus began to pay some attention to Hatake Akira.
But after witnessing how Hatake Akira grew from a well-known last-place student to the top of the grade in just two months, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.
Hatake Akira proved that he was indeed a rare and fine piece of jade, which made Namikaze Minato want to carve him.
"You have made great progress, and I will not break my promise." Namikaze Minato first affirmed Hatake Akira's efforts, and then changed the subject, "But it is too early for you to call me teacher now."
"I understand, Minato-sensei. I feel it is indeed too early now." Hatake Akira nodded seriously.
"You...just try to be clever!" Namikaze Minato was quite helpless.
"I'm not being clever..." Hatake Akira tilted his head, "Minato-sensei is Minato-sensei, and a teacher is a teacher, they are different."
"Is it confusing?" Namikaze Minato tapped Hatake Akira's little head. "Forget it, call me that if you want. But I have a rule in advance. Before you pass my test, I won't admit it if anyone asks me."
"No one else will ask." Hatake Akira shook his head, "Minato-sensei won't tell, Kushina-sensei won't tell, and I won't tell either. No one will know."
"Alas... I really can't do anything about you."
Minato Namikaze smiled bitterly and shook his head. He found it difficult to resist the thick-skinned Hatake Akira, but it was also because of this that Minato Namikaze felt that Hatake Akira was different from others.
It seemed that in the eyes of Hatake Akira, there was nothing that could scare him.
Of course, if Hatake knew what Minato Namikaze was thinking at this moment, he would probably refute it immediately.
His future father-in-law was very popular in the past, and he was really scared.
To put it bluntly, Hatake Akira was just looking at the person and knowing Namikaze Minato's character, so he was so persistent and reckless.
"By the way, Minato-sensei, can you tell me what the third test is?"
When Akira Hatake came here today, in addition to asking Minato Namikaze for his experience in practicing the Flickering Technique, finding out Minato Namikaze's third test was also of utmost importance.
"Since you have already completed the first two requirements, it would be fine for me to tell you about the third test now."
Namikaze Minato became serious, "I know you want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique from me, but if you want to practice this S-level space ninjutsu, the necessary talent is essential."
"So, the third test is divided into two parts. The first one is to test whether you have the talent to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique." Namikaze Minato paused, "As for the remaining test, the time is not right now. I will tell you later."
"That's it..."
Hatake Akira nodded, and then guessed what the test item was that Minato Namikaze had kept.
Grab the bell.
This is almost a fixed test item passed down from Tobirama Senju. Many famous ninjas in Konoha have taken this test.
Moreover, the test of grabbing the bell is basically a reserved item when the "Class 7" is formed.
The "Team Seventh" mentioned here is not the Team Seventh of Prince Naruto's later team, but all the Team Sevenths that have existed in Konoha's history.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and Uchiha Kagami were the first Team 7 in Konoha's history.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are the second.
The third one is Team 7 led by Minato Namikaze.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to see what this "Class 7" represents.
The ninjas and teachers who come from Konoha's Team 7 are either the future pillars of Konoha or the future Hokage of Konoha!
Hatake Akira didn't think much about the position of Hokage. Not only was it tiring, but it also involved too many troubles. Hatake Akira wasn't interested at all.
But when he thought of the second half of Minato Namikaze's test of grabbing the bell, Hatake Akira felt a little worried.
The reason is not for anything else, but because there has never been a precedent in Konoha's history where a graduating class has four Genin members.
And because Hatake Akira had given Hatake Sakumo a preventive measure in advance, the probability of his suicide in the future has been greatly reduced, so Kakashi, who graduated early, will not become a cold-blooded task tool.
In other words, there is a high probability that Kakashi will be excluded from Minato's class.
Of course, it could also be Uchiha Obito, or more likely Nohara Rin.
The butterfly effect brought about by Hatake Akira's flapping of butterfly wings for six years has begun to show results, which undoubtedly makes the future of the Naruto world even more confusing.
But after thinking about it, Hatake Akira felt relieved.
Let the butterfly effect be the butterfly effect. As long as the main C is strong enough, everything in the future can be under control.
His flying thoughts only lasted for a few seconds before they were extinguished by Hatake Akira. He then looked at Namikaze Minato and asked anxiously.
"Minato-sensei, shall we test it now?"
"Kid, why are you still testing so late at night?!" Uzumaki Kushina put on gloves and brought a bowl of fresh fish soup, "Eat first, we can talk about your business later."
"Um...Okay, Master's wife, I'm just hungry."
Hatake Akira really wanted to refuse, but looking at Kushina's expectant expression and considering the future, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although only Namikaze Minato knows and has experienced Uzumaki Kushina's dark cuisine, as a man who has seen the finale, how could Hatake Akira not know about it?
