Chapter 388 Dog Food

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the glass curtain wall of the Konoha New District a magnificent golden-red.

After finishing the last stack of documents from the Ministry of Finance, Nishikawa Tetsu stretched out with a big yawn, his bones cracking.

"Phew... finally done."

He rubbed his slightly sore neck and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was right at the end of the workday.

"I've been so busy reconciling accounts and dealing with sponsors these past few days, I'm practically starving. I heard a new premium seafood buffet opened in the capital, and the reviews are pretty good..."

Nishikawa Tetsu stroked his chin, a smile playing on his lips.

"Eating alone is no fun, so let's invite Minato along, and also Fugaku-senpai. Hmm, inviting Minato isn't just to have him be a free Flying Thunder God pilot, it's purely to strengthen the bonds between Team 5! Yes, that's it!"

Having mentally prepared himself, Nishikawa Tetsu walked out of the Ministry of Finance with a clear conscience and went to the Jonin Squad office in the administrative building.

"Knock knock knock".

He symbolically knocked three times on the door, and before anyone inside could respond, he skillfully pushed the door open and entered.

"Minato, you're off work! Come on, let's go get something good to eat today..."

Nishikawa Tetsu's words were cut short, like a duck being choked.

The scene inside the spacious Jonin team office was extremely lively.

Minato Namikaze sat behind his desk, pen in hand, in the posture of grading documents, a hint of helplessness in his smile.

Three people were sitting opposite his desk.

Kushina Uzumaki was resting her chin on her hands, staring intently at Minato, her eyes overflowing with love that practically flooded the entire office.

On the sofa next to Kushina, Kana was sprawled out without any regard for her image, holding an empty bag of potato chips and forcefully shoveling the last crumbs into her mouth.

Shizune sat obediently to the side, holding the snoring Tonton in her arms and reading a book on basic medical ninjutsu in her hand.

"Well……"

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at this excessively heartwarming scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"What are you all doing here? Having a family meeting?"

"Brother Che!"

When Kana saw Nishikawa Tetsu, she immediately jumped up from the sofa as if she had seen a savior, rushed to him, and grabbed his arm.

"You've finally arrived! We've been waiting here for Minato-nii for almost an hour!"

Kana pointed at Minato, who was still looking at documents, and complained pitifully, "He said tomorrow is the weekend and he can't leave until he finishes approving all the documents for this week. I'm starving!"

Shizune closed her book and politely greeted Nishikawa Tetsu: "Tetsu-nii, we just finished a D-rank mission today. Kushina-neechan said she'd bring us here to wait for Minato-senpai to have dinner together."

"A D-rank mission?"

Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you guys just finish the Chunin Exams? How come you're already taking on missions so soon?"

"Go outside and talk outside, don't disturb the water gate operation."

Kushina pulled the group out of the office and then began to complain.

Kushina turned her head and complained irritably.

"He said that Kana and Shizune performed well in the exam, and since I, as their instructor, was bored out of my mind, he directly assigned us a task, and..."

Kushina rolled her eyes.

"That old man was so happy that he actually shoved that arrogant brat named Scorpion into my squad too!"

"Scorpion?" Nishikawa Tetsuya was somewhat surprised.

He knew the Third Hokage was in a good mood because Konoha had swept the top three spots, but he didn't expect that Sasori would have his privileges relaxed. Sasori had previously been restricted from leaving the village.

"Yes," Shizune explained from the side, "The Hokage said that Sasori-senpai proved his worth in the exam and allowed him to join Kushina-neechan's team on missions. However, if he wants to leave the village, he still needs to report in advance and must be accompanied by an Anbu."

"Where is he?" Nishikawa Tetsu wondered, realizing he hadn't seen him along the way.

"He went back to the lab after handing in the assignment." Chanel pouted. "He said that doing this kind of boring task with us was an insult to his art. Tch, that arrogant, short, red-haired slut!"

Nishikawa Tetsu silently gave Sasori a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of you.

"Che!"

Just then, Kushina suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes lit up.

She rushed to Nishikawa Tetsuya like a gust of wind, grabbed his other arm, and her face was full of smiles.

"You just said you were going to take Minato out for something delicious?"

"Uh... I do have that plan." Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Kushina's shining eyes and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

"Very good!"

Kushina clapped her hands excitedly and pushed Kana and Shizune directly in front of Nishikawa Tetsuya.

"Since you have so much free time, then these two little troublemakers are yours! Take them out for a nice meal, let them order whatever they want, and put the bill on Shuimen's tab!"

"Huh?!" Kana and Shizune were both stunned.

"Wait! Kushina, what about you and Minato?" Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes widened.

"Us?" Kushina turned her head and glanced affectionately in the direction of Minato's office.

"He's been so busy with exams lately, so of course I'm taking him out for some alone time to relax. You little third wheels, don't you dare mess things up!"

"I……"

Just as Nishikawa Tetsu was about to retort, he saw that Kushina's red hair was already starting to float, and her eyes were filled with the threat of "You're dead if you dare to refuse."

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

"Fine! You win!" Nishikawa Tetsuya gritted his teeth and agreed, then turned to Kana and Shizune, "Let's go, you two third wheels, your brother will take you out for a big meal!"

"Yay! I want to eat the most expensive one!" Chanel cheered immediately, completely oblivious to being abandoned.

……

Ten minutes later, Watergate finally finished approving the last document.

He looked at Kushina apologetically: "I'm sorry, Kushina, I've kept you waiting. Where are Kana and the others?"

"They went to eat with Che. That guy said he got a bonus today and insisted on treating everyone. I couldn't stop him!" Kushina lied without batting an eye, grabbing Minato's arm. "Let's go, Minato, let's go on a date!"

Looking at Kushina's radiant smile, Minato smiled gently and said, "Okay."

The two walked out of the Hokage Building side by side and strolled along the streets of Konoha as the lights came on.

A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and the aroma of food.

"Minato, look how beautiful that lamp is!" Kushina exclaimed excitedly, pointing to an exquisitely designed street lamp by the roadside.

Looking at her eyes, which sparkled under the light, Minato said softly, "Not even half as pretty as you."

Kushina's face instantly turned red to her ears, and she playfully punched Minato: "You're so annoying! When did you become so glib?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Minato grasped her hand, their fingers intertwined.

The two strolled sweetly down the street, the air around them seemingly filled with pink bubbles.

However, they were unaware that in the shadows of the street corner less than thirty meters behind them.

Three furtive heads were peeking out in this direction.

"Wow! Minato-nii would actually say something like that! I got goosebumps!" Kana covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with an extremely gossipy light.

"Kana, isn't it inappropriate for us to peek like this..." Shizune blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that! It's called intelligence gathering!" Nishikawa Tetsu said confidently, chewing on a skewer of grilled squid he had just bought. "I want to see just how cheesy Minato, who's usually so serious, can be when he's in love!"

Yes, Nishikawa Tetsu didn't take the two girls to eat; instead, out of some kind of wicked pleasure, he dragged them along and followed them all the way.

The scene ahead continues to deliver a high-intensity dose of PDA.

Minato stopped in front of a stall selling candied hawthorns, bought the biggest and reddest skewer, and handed it to Kushina.

Kushina took a bite and then handed the candied hawthorn to Minato's mouth.

"Minato, try it, it's delicious."

Minato didn't mind the spot where Kushina had bitten him, and smiled as he took a bite as well.

"Mmm, it's sweet and sour, very nice!"

Minato looked at Kushina with a gentle smile, his eyes so tender they could melt your heart.

Kushina's cheeks flushed even more. She bit into her candied hawthorn, her head slightly lowered, her toes lightly kicking a small pebble on the ground, and muttered softly, "Then...then will you buy me some every day from now on, okay?"

"Okay." Minato agreed without hesitation.

He reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of red hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind Kushina's ear, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her warm cheek.

"It's not just candied hawthorns. Whatever you want to eat or wherever you want to go in the future, I'll be there for you as long as I'm here."

The sound of the water gate was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm.

Kushina suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with emotion.

She suddenly tiptoed and quickly kissed Minato on the cheek, then turned and ran like a startled fawn.

"You said it! If you dare go back on your word, I'll tie you up with the Iron Chains!"

Kushina's voice came from ahead, filled with undisguised joy.

Minato stood frozen in place, feeling the fleeting, warm touch on his cheek, as if he had been immobilized.

A moment later, his face turned red at a visible speed, and even his ears turned pink.

He looked at the lively red figure in front of him, like a leaping flame, and a smile he could no longer suppress bloomed on his lips.

"I swear, I will never break my promise."

Minato murmured something to himself, then quickened his pace and chased after Kushina.

"Kushina, wait for me!"

……

The trio hiding in the corner fell silent.

"Click."

Chanel expressionlessly bit into a piece of cookie in her hand.

"I suddenly feel so full," Kana said, rubbing her flat stomach with a wistful tone.

Shizune hugged Tun Tun tightly and sighed, "Me too..."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the grilled squid in his hand and suddenly felt that this usually delicious squid was like chewing wax.

He originally came here to watch the Watergate scandal, but now he feels like a single dog walking on the side of the road who was suddenly kicked and forced to eat dog food.

"Let's go."

Nishikawa Tetsu took a big bite of the squid, turned around and left, his back view looking extremely desolate.

"Brother Che, are we not going to watch anymore?" Xiang Nai asked in confusion.

"I can't watch anymore! I'm afraid I'll get diabetes if I keep watching!"

Nishikawa Tetsu waved without turning his head.

"Let's go to BBQ Q! We'll have a good meal tonight! Let's make Minato and Kushina regret not eating with us!"

"Yay!" The two little girls cheered and followed immediately.
