"Woooooooo..."

Kurenai Yuhi's attitude was just as Kushina had expected. After learning the truth, she showed the temper that all girls have, and she blurted out words condemning Hatake Akira in rapid succession.

But that was all. Xiurihong's words were not harsh, and her little fists did not have much killing power. If there were no tears on her face, most people would think that Xiurihong was just acting coquettishly.

"I'm sorry, Hong." Hatake Akira apologized decisively and sincerely, "Because starting from tomorrow, Team 8 will be disbanded, so I'm busy with the Team 8 reunion."

"Is that so... You should have said it earlier. I'm not unreasonable..."

Yuhi Kurenai sobbed, and in her heart she had actually forgiven Hatake Akira, but she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her eyes.

"It's because I didn't think too much. I discovered the mistake in time and came here to make up for it." Hatake Akira pulled Yuhi Kurenai into his arms, and regardless of her struggles, he used all his strength to hold her in his arms.

"So, are you willing to go to the party with me? By the way, I can meet my teacher, Minato Namikaze, and my master's wife, Kushina Uzumaki. It can be regarded as meeting some people in advance..."

"Ah."

The reply, as faint as a mosquito, reached Hatake Akira's ears. He could feel that the girl in his arms had stopped sobbing, and even through her clothes, he could feel the hot temperature of Yuhiko's cheeks.

Chapter 101: Stealing a kiss.

The last gathering of Class 8 was prepared intensively for most of the morning. Finally, just after noon, the barbecue prepared by Akira Hatake was served on the table.

It is worth mentioning that Kurenai Yuhi integrated into the team very quickly, but she vaguely felt that Kakashi had some opinions about her.

While helping Hatake Akira carry the barbecue to the dining table, Yuhi Kurenai asked the doubts in her heart.

"Ming, is there something I did wrong? I always feel like Kakashi is hostile to me..."

"Ah? No, even though Kakashi is a little dull at times, he's always nice to people close to him." Hatake Akira glanced at Kakashi's upright back and opened his mouth to speak for him.

"Oh, maybe I'm too sensitive..."

Xihi Hong did not doubt him, and then took a deep breath of the wasabi octopus lying on the plate in her hand, with a happy smile on her face, "Ming, your cooking skills are really good!"

"If you say that, I have to talk to you..."

Hatake Akira started talking, "My biggest dream before was to cook at home, feed the people I care about, and then just lie down and there will be peace in the ninja world..."

"Puchi..." Xihi Kurenai covered her mouth and laughed, "Is this the reason why you were so lazy before? I admire you a little bit now!"

"Don't laugh, be serious." Hatake Akira stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Yuhi Kurenai's nose. "Who wants to work hard if they can be lazy? But having said that, the current situation is not bad, it's quite fulfilling."

"It's quite fulfilling. So fulfilling that I've only seen you once in over half a year..."

Speaking of this, Yuhi Kurenai pouted her lips. After graduation, Hatake Akira was indeed like a different person, especially after completing that A-level mission outside the village, his genius had surpassed Kakashi.

Correspondingly, Hatake Akira also became busy. He was either doing missions or training all day long. After finally getting a rest at night, he had to run to the Konoha Hospital and even had to practice with Minato Namikaze for a while longer.

Although there was some resentment in Yuhi Kurenai's words, she felt more distressed towards Hatake Akira.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I still need to work hard before I can be truly at ease. Although my strength is enough, I feel it's not enough to protect the people I want to protect."

"I don't know Ming, who do you want to protect?"

"My father, Kakashi, Minato-sensei, Kushina-sensei, in short, there are a lot of people." Hatake Akira was being naughty and only missed out Kurenai Yuhi's name.

"Humph!"

Xihi Kurenai snorted and turned her head away, but after waiting for a while and seeing that Hatake Akira did not try to remedy the situation, she couldn't help but ask another question.

"Anymore?"

"Of course I didn't. Just because you didn't tell me doesn't mean I forgot." Hatake Akira stretched out his hand and scratched Yuhi Kurenai's nose. "You are one of the top three people I need to protect."

"Huh? Only in the top three?!"

Yuhi Kurenai was somewhat dissatisfied with what Hatake Akira said. The girl lost her temper and kept questioning Hatake Akira, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Then who's ahead of me?"

"Of course it's Kakashi and my father." Hatake Akira said as a matter of course, "And I think there was something wrong with the order I gave you just now. You are all the people I risked my life to protect. There is no order..."

"That's pretty much it."

Yuhi Kurenai was satisfied. After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention, she stood on tiptoe and quickly touched Hatake Akira's lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Hatake Akira was stunned. He didn't expect Yuhi Kurenai to be so bold.

And to be honest, Hatake Akira felt a little lost, mainly because the girl's lips were as soft as jade, which made him linger on the memory.

Click!

"What's wrong Kakashi?"

Minato Namikaze, who was chatting happily with Kushina and Might Guy, heard the noise. Following the sound of the chopsticks breaking, he gave Kakashi a concerned look.

"Nothing, unscrupulous merchants cut corners on the chopsticks."

Kakashi made up an excuse, and Minato Namikaze didn't care, and continued chatting with Kushina and Might Guy.

Secretly putting the broken chopsticks under his feet, he crushed them hard and stomped them into the mud. Kakashi couldn't help but turn around and glared at Yuhi Kurenai with his dead fish eyes.

Kakashi heard clearly what Hatake Akira said just now, which made him very happy. He couldn't help but sigh that he was still the most important person in his brother Hatake Akira's heart.

But then, Kakashi saw the scene of Kurenai Yuhi secretly kissing Hatake Akira, and the scene of Hatake Akira smiling foolishly.

I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it!

That was my brother’s first kiss!

Kakashi kept cursing Yuhi Kurenai in his heart, but then he remembered something and his face suddenly turned red.

"The barbecue is almost ready. Teacher, what do you think?"

It actually didn't take long to serve the dishes, and everyone was used to seeing Akira running around during every dinner party, so they had long been accustomed to it.

"Let's get started! I'll make a few dishes for you later!"

Minato Namikaze's words were greeted with everyone's cheers. Kushina loved the fun, so of course she wanted to join in.

"Since your Minato teacher has said so, I'll let you taste my cooking skills later!"

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air...

After Kushina finished speaking, except for Kurenai Yuhi, Hatake Akira and the other two were petrified. Their clapping hands stopped in mid-air and they didn't know what to do.

"Ahem, are you so surprised that you don't know how to express your thoughts?"

Minato Namikaze is an experienced firefighter and his reaction speed is very fast.

"Yes, yes, yes, Master's wife cooked for me personally. I am so moved... I want to cry..."

Hatake Akira put on a crying and laughing expression and gave Minato Namikaze a look.

Teacher, you'd better be honest.

"Don't be too touched. It's only right that your master's wife treats you this way." Namikaze Minato had a smile on his face and returned a look to Hatake Akira.

If you want to go, go.

Hatake Akira shook his head and could only sigh deeply. At the same time, he followed the lead of Minato Namikaze and began to flatter Kushina.

And intentionally or unintentionally, Hatake Akira always secretly encouraged Kushina to cook more for Minato Namikaze at home, which made Minato Namikaze secretly kick Hatake Akira under the table and gave him a warning look.

You kid, stop it!

However, Hatake Akira ignored him and gave Minato Namikaze a provocative look in return.

If I had known today, why bother then!

"Ming, why do I feel like the atmosphere is weird..."

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. This was the first time that Kurenai attended the gathering of Team 8. Although she did not see the private eye contact between Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato, a woman's keen sixth sense still made her realize that something was wrong.

"No? Master Kushina's cooking skills have always been great." Hatake Akira said in a high voice. Kushina was even more excited when she heard it. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to make a "delicious dish" to serve.

However, as soon as she made a move, Namikaze Minato grabbed her and coaxed Kushina into temporarily giving up this dangerous idea.

And Hatake Akira looked at each other and pulled Yuhi Kurenai's hand, motioning her to come closer to his ear.

"Hong, don't eat the food that Kushina-sensei makes later!"

"Ah? Why?" Seeing that Hatake Akira spoke in a soft voice, Yuhi Kurenai subconsciously followed Hatake Akira's speaking rhythm.

"Don't ask, just focus on your wasabi octopus."

After instructing Kurenai Yuhi, Hatake Akira once again joined the team that flattered Kushina, encouraging her to show off her cooking skills.

I let Minato Namikaze go last time for some reasons, so I can’t miss him this time no matter what!

Chapter 102: Time flies, the idea of ​​new ninjutsu.

When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the gathering of Class 8 finally ended.

However, when the party was just getting dark, Yuhi Shinku came to the gathering place of Class 8 and took Yuhi Hong away.

This was the only flaw in this gathering, and Akira Hatake's intention to trick Minato Namikaze did not succeed in the end.

This is somewhat of a pity, making this gathering less perfect.

Of course, if we ignore these two points, the party was still very successful. In the end, Minato Namikaze was even carried home by Kushina.

This was the first time that Hatake Akira had seen Minato Namikaze drunk since he met him.

"Goodbye, Kai!"

The three people who stayed behind to clean up the mess, after packing up everything, waved goodbye to each other.

"You too!" Might Guy waved at Hatake Akira and Kakashi with his big front teeth showing, "Youth will bring us together again!"

"You are right, youth will bring us together again..."

This time, Hatake Akira didn't think that there was anything wrong with Might Guy's words. Instead, he agreed with them very seriously.

Might Guy was very happy. He waved to the two of them again, then turned and walked into the night.

But when they had walked for quite a distance, Might Guy suddenly felt a pain in his nose, and the open-mindedness he had just pretended to be could no longer be maintained. Silent tears flowed down his chin and kept falling to the ground.

After spending such a long time together, the bond between the three of them had already reached a new level. Might Guy, who was extremely affectionate and honest, was able to shed tears after parting, which was already the greatest patience...

Similarly, after watching Might Guy leave, Hatake Akira felt uncomfortable.

If we want to get together to carry out a mission again, we may have to wait until the Third Ninja World War.
