Chapter 52: Chapter 52 The Sunshine is Outside, The Dullness is Inside
If it were someone else, Minato might have taken it seriously, but Sōseki is different. As a genius with a great reputation in Konoha, Minato naturally does not believe that Sōseki would need to ask him for advice.
Even Space-Time Ninjutsu, which is extremely difficult to train, was impossible to trap them at the very beginning. This is Minato's confidence in Sōseki, who is also a genius.
The most important thing is that Sōseki specializes in Medical Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, so he doesn't need to rush to train Flying Thunder God Technique.
'That means, he exchanged this Ninjutsu to help me train in it, and, in order to take care of my dignity as a senior, he also took the initiative to say that it is a mutual progress by asking me for advice!' Thinking of this, Minato's gaze towards Sōseki became softer.
Seeing that Minato was stunned, Kushina patted him on the shoulder unhappily, "You are too stingy. My brother is just asking you for a single technique."
Minato gently shook his head and said with a smile, "You misunderstood. Sōseki is a genius that even Hokage-sama praised, so why do you need to ask me for advice? He is just taking care of my reputation by saying this."
Hearing this, Kushina suddenly realized and nodded vigorously, "Let me just say, my brother is so good, so why should he ask you for advice!"
Minato didn't know whether to cry or laugh upon hearing this, 'Kushina, didn't you change your face so fast?'
"Then you guys can start discussing. I will prepare snacks and tea for you." Kushina said cheerfully while clapping her hands.
Then while humming a song, she hops all the way to the kitchen.
For her, such "lively" scenes have always only appeared in dreams.
In the living room, Minato looked Sōseki in a daze. For some reason, he seemed to be able to see his shadow of his past in the other party.
"Sōseki, thank you so much for what happened before. Without you, I might not be able to catch up with those Kumogakure's spies."
"No, I just did what I was supposed to do!"
"Chasing the enemy spies is not something you should do! So, thank you very much!"
Minato was originally an optimistic and cheerful person, and he could talk enthusiastically in the face of strangers, not to mention Sōseki who saved Kushina and had a very "similar" personality to himself.
In just a few words, the two began to talk familiarly.
When the topic turned to Flying Thunder God Technique, Sōseki hesitated and asked, "Minato-senpai, can I ask you a question before asking for advice?"
Hearing his future 'brother-in-law' ask this, Minato suddenly became nervous, 'Did he want to ask about my family situation? Do I have any propery in Konoha? Or, could it be that he wanted to ask about my emotional experience, asking if I ever had a girlfriend before? Or, is he going to ask me about my current work situation, about when will I be promoted to Jōnin?"
Thinking of this, Minato is a little bit troubled.
Sōseki didn't know that Minato's mind has wandered so far away, but he just asked inexplicably, "Minato-senpai, why would you want to exchange for Flying Thunder God Technique? Mastering this Ninjutsu is so difficult. If the you fail in mastering it, won't you lose a lot?"
When he heard Sōseki's question, Minato was relieved.
"It's because I almost lost Kushina this time, that's why I want to learn a technique that can let me appear by her side as soon as possible!" Minato smiled softly, and then, the corner of his mouth rose, "And, don't you think this technique is very cool?"
Sōseki couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, 'That's right, I almost forgot that this guy like to show off and boring underneath his sunny appearance!'
"Hey, why are you two chatting so vigorously all of a sudden?" Kushina sat down on her knees with a plate in hand.
"Haha, we are discussing that technique!" Minato smiled, never mentioning things like being cool.
"Oh, then I will listen to it too." Kushina rested her cheeks in one hand, looking like she was watching a play.
"Aren't you only interested in Fūinjutsu?"
"Hmph, do you mind about me listening?"
"Okay." Minato smiled dotingly, and then looked towards Sōseki, "Then, let's get started."
"Actually, I might be able to help you a little bit with what you said before, Sōseki."
Sōseki's eyes lit up and then he asked, "Minato-senpai, have you already started training in it?"
"It should just be a little bit more than the entry level!" Perhaps because he felt that his words were pretentious, Minato explained, "It may be that I am particularly compatible with the Flying Thunder God Technique, or it may be that I have a reason to train it successfully..."
As he said that, Minato secretly glanced at Kushina.
As a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, Kushina naturally noticed Minato's small movements in an instant, so she raised her fist and said, "Why are you looking at me when saying that? Could it be that your reason is to defeat me?"
Seeing that Kushina had no doubts, Minato was relieved and was also slightly disappointed at the same time.
However, Sōseki noticed that Kushina's drooping cheeks have already blushed quietly.
Sōseki, who was being fed with a mouthful of dog food, didn't care, and just thought secretly, 'Is it the strong emotions and beliefs that help Minato in training Flying Thunder God Technique? Or, is it that only when Minato's brain is full of Kushina can he show his true talent?' (T/N: Eating dog food means seeing public display of affection forcibly.)
Minato doesn't know how Sōseki is slandering him in his thought. He pauses for a while and then continues, "Anyway, I have indeed made great progress in training Flying Thunder God Technique. Now Sōseki, pay attention to my movements."
With that said, Minato took out a kunai and threw it towards the door, and then, he instantly moved to a position half a meter away.
This time, even Sōseki was really moved, "It's only a few days, but Minato-senpai, you have already successfully mastered it?"
Minato waved his hands again and again, "Actually, I'm still a long way off. Once the range exceeds half a meter, the technique will fail!"
Although it sounds inferior to Body Flicker Technique, Kushina and Sōseki are both geniuses, so they naturally understand the difference.
One is just moving at high speed to create an afterimage, but the other is truly moving through the space!
Kushina was absent-minded for a moment, and stared at him, "It's too much. How can such boring person like you learned such a great Ninjutsu! How can I fight with you in the future!"
Minato raised his hands in surrender, and smiled bitterly, "I just happened to meet the right Ninjutsu. The A-Rank Ninjutsu I exchanged when I graduated, didn't I need a few days to learn it?"
Minato, who didn't realize how much psychological damage it would cause to others after learning A-rank Ninjutsu in seven or eight days, continued, "Just like Kushina, isn't your talent in Fūinjutsu much better than me?"
Kushina nodded in approval, "That's true, although I haven't started with the S-Rank Fūinjutsu yet, I just need to look at the A-Rank Fūinjutsu, and I will automatically learn it in a few days."
As they said that, the two of them showed tacit smiles.
Then, they suddenly return to their senses.
They pretended to be forceful just now, they wouldn't hurt Sōseki's young heart, right?
