The Shimura Residence.
Kaze knocked on Tanzō's door. After getting permission from his father, he bounced inside.
"Can't you act like a grown - up?"
Tanzō frowned and scolded his son irritably upon seeing his goofy look.
"When I was your age, I was already managing the Shimura..."
"Father, I've mastered the Flying Raijin Technique!"
Kaze interrupted Tanzō, hands on his hips and head held high, looking extremely proud.
Plop!
Tanzō was so shocked that he knocked over the teacup on the table. He didn't even notice that his clothes were soaked with tea.
"Kaze, you'd better not be joking with me."
Tanzō stared intently at his son, trying to find any sign of deception on his face.
"Really, father. It's a cinch even for a beginner to master the Flying Raijin Technique in three years."
Kaze said smugly, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"
Whoosh!
Kaze's figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a faint dotted silhouette in place.
Tanzō stood up abruptly with a thud, causing the documents on the table to scatter all over the floor.
His son... his son had truly mastered it!
The Namikaze Residence.
Minato had just pushed open the door and sat on the sofa, planning to take a break.
Suddenly, a figure dropped from the sky and landed right in his lap.
"..."
Their eyes met. Kaze stood up awkwardly, scratching his head.
"Sorry! I just learned it recently and still can't control the range well."
"Hey... why haven't you erased the Flying Raijin Technique on your body?"
Kaze had sensed the mark nearby and used the Flying Raijin Technique to show off to Tanzō.
"I haven't had the time yet!" Minato tugged at his pants and said irritably.
Once the Flying Raijin Technique is placed, it's extremely difficult to erase, even for Minato who has mastered the technique, it would still take a lot of effort.
He had just sat on the sofa, and his butt wasn't even warm yet. How could he have erased the mark?
"Sorry to disturb you. Goodbye!"
Kaze bowed to Minato and quickly left before the atmosphere became too awkward.
Ten minutes later, Kaze returned home.
Looking at Tanzō, who had waited impatiently for so long that he was fed up, he said awkwardly,
"Sorry, father. I forgot to leave a mark before I used the technique."
Tanzō strode up to Kaze, patted him on the shoulder, and said excitedly,
"Good, good. My son Kaze shows promise to be Hokage!"
Tanzō was so excited that he lost his usual calmness.
Since Tobirama, no one in Konoha had mastered the Flying Raijin Technique.
Now, his son had learned it in just three years.
How could he not be excited?
Kaze scratched his head. "But father, Minato has also mastered the Flying Raijin Technique."
"Then he is only fit to be a shadow assistant!" Tanzō said firmly.
"One day, you'll become the Hokage (the leader of Konoha), and Minato will assist you. With the two of you, Konoha will surely reach new heights!"
As he spoke, Tanzō paced back and forth in the room, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
If he was fated not to become the Hokage, he would spare no expense to push his son into the position.
He would let his son fulfill his lifelong dream!
"Hey, Dad, we're still a long way off!" Kaze said with a grin.
"You're still in your prime. How could the Hokage position be mine? The Fourth Hokage spot belongs to you!"
"Wait until you're tired of it, and then pass it on to me. It won't be too late."
"Kaze, do you... really think so?" Tanzō was touched upon hearing this.
He never expected that the one who understood him best and was willing to support his dream was his silly son!
"Of course, Dad."
Kaze nodded without hesitation and said sincerely.
Having a dad as the Hokage was way cooler than being the Hokage himself. He didn't have any hero complex.
He just wanted to live a more comfortable life.
"By the way, Dad..."
Looking at Uncle Tanzō, who was rarely moved, Kaze pretended to suddenly remember something and said.
"I need a batch of Kunai made of special metal. It's a hassle to perform the Flying Raijin Technique without them. What do you think?"
Ordinary Kunai couldn't bear the Flying Thunder God mark and would break after a few uses.
To execute smooth combos on the battlefield, Kaze needed a batch of special Kunai, the kind that was super expensive as hell.
Without a second thought, Tanzō waved his hand boldly and said.
"Take as many as you need. Go to Root tomorrow. If it's not enough, I'll find someone to make more for you."
"Got it, thanks, Dad!" Kaze replied happily.
With just three sentences, I got the old man to splash out millions on me. Guys, take notes!
The next day, Kaze had six special Kunai on him.
It wasn't that he only had that many; he could only carry that many at once, or his pants would keep falling down.
You know, he had just carried two whole boxes into his house!
Knock, knock, knock.
Kaze knocked on Minato's door.
"Kaze, what are you...?"
Before Minato could finish speaking, Kaze took off the six Kunai tied together and casually tossed them to Minato.
"Here, it's from your big bro!"
"Huh?"
Minato instinctively caught the Kunai.
Hearing what Kaze said, he immediately frowned and slapped the Kunai back into Kaze's hand.
"Get out of here. Take them back. I don't need..."
Kaze looked down on Minato with a snort, snorted heavily, and raised the Kunai in his hand.
"Special Kunai that can carry the Flying Raijin Technique!"
"Oh!" Minato took back the Kunai with both hands, carefully put them away, and sincerely said.
"Thank you, Kaze. How did you know I needed these?"
"
(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~
Kaze curled his lips disdainfully.
Come on, we're so close. Don't act all noble and upright with me.
"I've got a hundred or so of these special kunai in my room. They're taking up so much space at home."
A... a hundred or so?!
Hearing this, Minato's knees suddenly went weak and he almost lost his balance.
"It must be because of my impulsiveness last night!"
"But I can't use so many by myself. Oh, what do you think I should do?" Kaze boasted.
Hearing this, Minato patted his chest and said.
"Kaze, let's have a dinner party tonight. I'll cook myself and make sure Kushina doesn't get near the kitchen at all."
"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make sure you have your fill."
Kaze put his hands behind his back and nodded contentedly, "Well, good. I can feel your sincerity."
This kid Minato has been independent since he was a child and has mastered great cooking skills. Everyone who has eaten his food says it's delicious.
He's already won Kaze over with his cooking.
"Okay, then. Since there's nothing else, I'll be off." Kaze shrugged and said.
"Take your time." Minato closed the door with a smile on his face and then silently gave Kaze the middle finger.
"This kid Minato must be scolding me in the room right now." Kaze turned around and left cheerfully.
If teasing Ayako and Seiven brings physical enjoyment.
Then joking with Minato brings spiritual pleasure. Kaze is now in high spirits.
"Ouch!"
When passing a street corner, a kid dashed out at full speed and bumped into Kaze head - on.
"Are you okay?"
The kid adjusted the goggles on his head and bowed repeatedly to Kaze.
"I'm really sorry!"
