Chapter 51 - Pride or love? (2/2)
Seeing the blatant lie, she trembled in anger. But realizing that she can't do anything about it quickly deflated.
”Hmph! Someday I will be stronger than you and beat you till you faint!” Having said so, she stormed out of the room, but not before hearing the ”See you tomorrow” from Minato, making her stumble in her steps. How shameless can he be? Sending her flying and carelessly seeing her off like it was an everyday thing...Even if it's a sort of everyday thing when she tries to attack him because of AWLPS, it's the first time that he was this rough, making her think that maybe he did not appreciate her Fire Tornado.
'It must be because we took advantage of his moment of weakness. Now that I think about it, it was pretty low of us. I have to talk about it with the girls, we should not do that anymore. Hmph, it doesn't matter anyway, I will train hard and quickly grow strong enough to beat him up without tricks. Just you wait Minato!'
Seeing Kushina's body language passing from sulking to determination, Minato smiled and compared Kushina, Tsume, and Mikoto to Mebuki, Yoshino, and Hazuka. Doing so, he was a hundred percent sure that if he acts as he did now with the latter three, they will whɨnė pitifully instead of striving to become stronger, making him sure of the fact that those three are not worth his effort.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage office, a discussion was taking place between the light and darkness of Konoha.
”I will send Minato on a special mission Danzo, you can't have anybody following him this time” Exclaimed gravely Hiruzen.
Danzo cursed him internally 'Do you really think I would still have sent somebody? I'm not a babysitter, what the use of sending someone if I can't reap benefits' Nevertheless, he didn't dare to display this insolence outwardly and nodded.
Knowing that he will not do anything anymore, for the time being, Hiruzen sent him off. Seeing Danzo exiting the office, he sighed 'Each time I see you, you've become entangled in another layer of darkness. I hope for you that you will never betray Konoha for your own benefits, my friend. I will not let anyone threaten the village. After all, Tobirama-sensei counted on me to protect it'
His gloomy mood was swept away by thinking of the report on Minato. This kid was pretty good and his will of fire burns brightly, being willing to sacrifice himself for his comrades. And even if he was far stronger than anybody on the travel, he was still humble and helpful, not at all aloof or boastful. ”I hope he will show some interesting results for that mission, letting him as a genin supplier is a waste of time now that I know all I wanted to know, it's better to focus on grooming him”
It's a pity that because of those turbulent times, he couldn't have him familiarize himself with teamwork. But it will not be too late later on. And in the worst-case scenario, Hashirama and Tobirama worked alone but still finished Hokage.
