"Kei, who was here just now?"
Kushina used the back of her hand to cool her still flushed cheeks, asking through the kitchen door.
"Anbu, my letter of appointment should be here soon."
"Huh? Weren't you just transferred to the Regular Combat Team? Where are you being assigned to this time?"
"Take a guess? If you guess right, there's a reward, if you guess wrong, you have to kiss me!"
"Hehe~ I'm not stupid! If Anbu came to deliver the notice, it must be a pretty important department. You just came out of the Analysis Team, so it's unlikely you'd be transferred back there. That means it's either the Intelligence Department or the Perception Barrier Team?"
"Wrong! Come on, you made a bet, you have to own up. Open the door for a kiss."
"Aiya~ Didn't we just do that?"
Kushina watched as Yamanaka Kei easily unlocked the locked kitchen door with a key made of earth-style Chakra.
Her pretty face, which hadn't completely cooled down, flushed red again.
"Is it the same?"
Yamanaka Kei wrapped his arms around Kushina's waist.
He began to savor the deliciousness once more.
This kind of thing might not be interesting to an old married couple, but for young lovers, they can never get enough.
A burnt smell of food wafted into their noses.
Kushina lightly tapped Yamanaka Kei's chest twice, and quickly tried to salvage the dishes in the pot.
"Now you should tell me where you're going to be assigned."
"Not guessing anymore?"
"No guessing, no guessing. I'm not jumping into the same pit twice."
"Didn't you just say you weren't stupid?"
"Hmph~ It's precisely because I'm not stupid that I'm not guessing! You bad guy, you keep making me guess, so it must be a place I can't guess."
Kushina wrinkled her little nose and made a face at Yamanaka Kei.
Her charming and adorable appearance made one want to pinch her delicate, soft cheeks.
"It's Root."
Yamanaka Kei said with a smile.
Clang~
Kushina's small mouth opened slightly, and she didn't even hold the spatula in her hand steady, dropping it into the pot.
She looked back at her boyfriend with a worried expression.
"I don't have the Curse of Root's Silence, and I'm taking the position of a deputy minister with real power. The Third Hokage Old Man probably wants to use me to restrain Danzo, as for Danzo, he should also have his own little thoughts, but it's not a big problem."
Yamanaka Kei explained.
"If you're going to deal with Danzo, remember to call me! I've come to an agreement with that smelly fox recently! Hehe~ I'll show you what an invincible golden body is when the time comes!"
Kushina's eyes shone with a frightening light.
She raised her right arm, trying to show off her biceps.
But her slender, fair arm really didn't convey much sense of strength.
Instead, it made the 'thug' feel she was extremely cute.
If the sound of the door opening hadn't already come from the entrance, the little tomato in front of him would have been unable to escape the clutches of the thug.
"Kushina, there's an extra kid eating, cook an extra bowl. Kei, arrange something later! Your sister's been a little bored these days, you know?"
Tsunade, with a small slug on her head, walked barefoot into the living room.
She pulled Yamanaka Kei from the kitchen.
If she hadn't been busy all morning and was really starving, she would have wanted to skip the meal and go have some fun first!
Gambling City!
It was such a wonderful place that haunted her dreams!
"Understood, understood, understood."
Yamanaka Kei looked at the originally extremely beautiful face, which had become a bit lewd under Tsunade's winks, and sighed helplessly.
Damn it.
Can't you use this face properly?
And your tone, anyone who didn't know better would think I was taking you to a brothel!
"Kei-senpai, Kushina-senpai, sorry to disturb you."
Kakashi Hatake changed into the slippers prepared for guests at the entrance, walked into the living room with his dead fish eyes, and bowed respectfully to Yamanaka Kei and Kushina.
"Don't look at me, this kid lost another teammate on a mission. The Third Hokage Old Man asked me to guide him, but what the hell do I know about guiding? I heard you were back, so I brought him back for you to try."
Tsunade half-lay on the sofa to the side with an impatient look on her face.
It was true that she was a medical ninja, but Kakashi didn't have a physical problem, nor was he mentally traumatized.
It was clear that he had a knot in his heart because of Sakumo-senpai's death.
What was the use of giving him to her?
It would be better to have Yamanaka Kei use a few more Genjutsu.
"Nohara Rin died? Or did Obito die?"
Yamanaka Kei's eyes twitched, and he turned to look at Kakashi, who was listless.
"...An unknown Konoha ninja."
Kakashi felt uncomfortable under Yamanaka Kei's gaze, turned his head, and answered in a low voice.
Recently, Minato-sensei has been carrying out high-difficulty missions.
Their squad couldn't keep up with Minato-sensei's pace, so naturally, they were left behind.
Ten days ago, the Third Hokage Old Man suddenly had them join forces with another squad to carry out a mission.
The Chunin leading that squad didn't listen to his advice and fooled around with Obito, and the squad members weren't strong enough.
Wasn't it normal for two people to die?
He was the one who ultimately completed that mission.
He didn't understand why the responsibility had fallen on him.
"Tell me about the process?"
Yamanaka Kei felt relieved when he heard it wasn't Nohara Rin and Obito.
Since he was idle anyway, he asked about the whole story.
"..."
Kakashi stared straight into Yamanaka Kei's eyes, remaining silent.
According to Konoha's ninja management regulations, C-rank missions already required that no details be disclosed to irrelevant personnel.
For B-rank missions, a report had to be submitted to the Hokage's office first, and the Lord Hokage's approval obtained.
"How about starting from when the Lord Hokage issued the mission to you?"
Yamanaka Kei thought he didn't know where to start, so he proactively suggested a time frame.
"...Confidentiality regulations."
"Damn it!"
Yamanaka Kei, who was almost choked to death by those four words, was amused by his stubbornness.
Seriously, after being a ninja for so many years,
he had always casually talked about missions below A-rank and whispered about S-rank missions.
This was truly the first time he had seen Kakashi being so rigid!
After organizing his words,
he proactively spoke again.
"I think your problem right now is a lack of effective communication. You need to take a few language arts classes first, and then address this conceptual issue of yours."
"..."
Kakashi frowned slightly, but still nodded in agreement.
Tsunade, who was reclining on the sofa waiting for dinner, almost couldn't help but laugh when she saw Kakashi starting to torment Yamanaka Kei.
Excellent!
Finally, she wasn't the only one suffering!
"Before dinner, let me give you a little something."
Yamanaka Kei held his forehead, feeling for the first time that communicating with people was such a difficult task.
Illusionary Arts: Hell Viewing Technique - Modified!
He formed a hand seal with one hand.
A modified D-rank Genjutsu directly pulled Kakashi into the illusion.
Glancing at his system interface, Yamanaka Kei instructed the system.
"System, grant [Crosstalk Expert] to Kakashi."
It was at least a green entry, and he certainly couldn't give it to cannon fodder.
Moreover, Kakashi, who couldn't squeeze out a fart after poking him eight times, and whose way of speaking could choke people to death even when he finally did, was too much of a torment for him.
A faint green light, visible only to Yamanaka Kei, quickly merged into Kakashi's body.
Caught in the Genjutsu, Kakashi's emotions fluctuated violently, and his expression began to change constantly, completely unaware of the anomaly.
"What kind of Genjutsu did you cast on him?"
Tsunade saw Kakashi cover his abdomen and kneel on the ground in pain less than two seconds after being hit by the Genjutsu, and raised an eyebrow to ask.
"A modified Hell Viewing Technique. In addition to the influence of psychological horror, it also increases the interference with the five senses of sight, hearing, and pain. The difficulty of operation is probably B-rank or higher? The strength of the Genjutsu... well, he can't break it anyway."
"I'm asking about the content."
"Care and love from his father."
"...As expected of you."
When Tsunade heard that it was a father beating his son, the corners of her mouth widened a bit.
She had been tormented by this brat all morning.
Serves him right!
