Chapter 14 - At Kushinas (2/2)
The latter was a bit awkward in the beginning, never having consoled someone. Even the true Minato was pretty bad with this sort of thing, so he has no experience with it. He decided to do what his mother did to him when small, rocking her while whispering sweet nothing to calm her down.
Taking her bridal style, Minato was ready to enter the compound to put her in her bed, but he saw the gobsmacked expressions of Tsume and Mikoto.
”Uh, did I do something wrong?”
”Father hen” ”Cute” was the reply that he got from Tsume and Mikoto respectively. He shot a weirded out look to the latter, making her realize that she said it out loud.
Blushing in embarrassment, Mikoto quickly recovered her Uchiha composure and with the temperant of a true heiress, led the way and ask him to hurry up and carry Kushina in.
'What a weird girl, where is the gentle milf Uchiha Mikoto? I see just a strange brat. Meh, never mind she is still cute'
Entering the compound, numerous houses entered their sight, none of them awed by the display. After all, 2 of them are from reputed clan, and one of them was an intergalactic emperor that saw far more imposing things. Not knowing which one does Kushina reside at, they were at loss of what to do. Fortunately, a brown hair kid with a big smile a bit taller than them appeared.
”Yo, I'm Nawaki Senju, the future Hokage!” Seeing Kushina asleep in the arms of Minato, he scratched his head, mumbling how did Mito-baachan(grandma) was right ”Follow me I will lead to you to our house” and he turned tail leading the way
Catching up to him, Minato presented his group ”I'm Minato Namikaze. And this is Mikoto Uchiha and Tsume Inuzuka” With the 2 mentioned nodding in greeting. ”You said our mansion, do you live in the same house?” Inquired Minato curiously.
”Yeah. I live with Mito-baachan and Tsunade nee-chan. And since Mito-baachan is an Uzumaki like Kushina, and so they are family, she decided to let her live with us. Family should stick together is what she said”
”Hm, I see” 'What a shitty husband this Minato, he didn't even know the past of his wife. Or maybe Kushina hid it from him, because if not for me and Tsume talking to her the first day, she would have been excluded by other kids and live a pretty lonely and shitty life. That means Tsunade abandoned her all alone in this village. Well, can't blame her, she lost everything that she cherished'
During the walk to Kushina's house, Nawaki was silent, and so unlike his Naruto's self in anime. 'Well, the Uzumaki can be considered family to him too. Now that I think about it, he will soon die, should I prevent it? Nah, there is no way I can do it without casting suspicions on me, and this type of guy is too stubborn to be reasoned, I will just let him be Hokage in the afterlife while I take the post here'
