Chapter 29: Guilt and Blame

Minato flew back to the living room at home with a flying thunder god.

"Sir! You are here!"

Minato was overjoyed and very happy to see Xiayou.

"Yo, Yondaime."

"Sir, alone? Where are the first and second generation adults?"

"They didn't come."

"Oh. Kushina, what's wrong with you? Your body?" Minato quickly came to Kushina's side and asked hurriedly in concern.

"I'm fine. Come get something to eat, you've stayed up all night too."

"Okay, thank you!"

The two looked at each other affectionately, and a sour smell filled the air. Fortunately, it was not enough to overwhelm the aroma of bone broth.

Xia You ignored it completely.

He doesn't want to talk about some bullshit love story right now.

He just wants to work! I just want to complete the main quest as soon as possible!

…

Kushina's craftsmanship is indeed good.

The ramen is average, but the bone broth is really rich and flavorful.

Xia You ate two portions, his stomach felt warm and he was very satisfied.

Kushina only ate one portion, and she still looked a little weak.

And Namikaze Minato showed off three servings, which were very delicious.

Firstly, due to the series of battles last night and the busy night, he was really hungry.

Secondly, I was really happy. I finally became a father, and my wife and children were all safe and sound. Of course, I had a great appetite.

Minato finished the last mouthful of soup and put down the bowl with great satisfaction.

Then he looked at Xia You, then touched his head and said with a smile:

"Mr. made you laugh."

"It's okay, Ling Zheng's craftsmanship is very good! Thank you for the hospitality."

"Haha, I like to eat all the dishes Kushina cooks."

After the meal, the two parties also chatted about business.

"Sir, are you here this time?"

"Have a meal and chat a little while."

"Okay, I also have a lot of questions that I would like to ask sir for advice."

Minato was overjoyed. Although there were still many government affairs waiting for him to deal with in the village, they were not as important as here.

If it is true as the first and second generation adults said, this gentleman is comparable to the legendary [Six Paths Immortal].

If the other party casually reveals some information, it will be enough for Konoha to benefit a lot.

You see, Mr. Jiraiya has been running around for more than ten years just for a vague prophecy from [Big Toad Sage].

If we could get some accurate prediction information, why would we need to work so hard?

Of course, the most important thing is to be grateful, grateful to Xiayou for saving his and Kushina's lives.

Based on this kindness, Minato is willing to do his best to repay Xia You without harming his family and the village.

Not to mention just having a meal and chatting.

It’s no problem to hang out and chat every day!

"The Yondaime, looking at you like this, the village's higher-ups have already started to cause trouble for you, right?"

Minato was shocked, then relieved.

"Have you really seen through it, sir?"

The sharpest knives often come not from enemies, but from teammates.

Because I know where your weak spots are, you will know the pain no matter how deep you insert them, but they will not force you to tear your face apart.

"What!"

"Those old men and women, are you starting to make things difficult for you again?"

Kushina on the side suddenly became angry.

After Minato succeeded to the throne, she knew all too well how much exclusion and restriction her husband had suffered. It was so difficult.

Unexpectedly.

Now that the Tailed Beast Riot has just ended, they are targeting Minato?

Too shameless, right?

Minato said helplessly: "The village has suffered a great loss this time, and someone must be responsible for it."

"Why!"

"I sealed the Kyuubi for the village. It was obviously because of their poor protection that they were attacked."

"In the end, it was you and the previous Hokages who saved the village and sealed the Kyuubi again."

"Why do they still blame you?"

Kushina shouted excitedly, getting angrier the more she thought about it. If it weren't for Naruto, I would have wanted to rush into the [Hokage Building] and go crazy.

"Kushina, don't be angry, your body has not recovered yet!"

"Minato, what do they want? They don't want to force you to step down as Hokage, do they?"

"The chance of that is very low. And I will not resign or abdicate."

"But Danzo-sama and the two advisors, Yashiro used this as an excuse to pin the blame on me and seize some of the Hokage's power."

Minato was not a political novice, and he easily understood the true purpose of Danzo and others.

It is absolutely unrealistic to think that Minato, who has ascended to the position of Hokage with absolute military exploits, can be dethroned by a tailed beast riot.

But they dared to damage Minato's reputation and usurp more of Hokage's power.

Not only does this courage exist, but it is also very courageous!

Kushina continued to rage, furious.

"What? Why are they so shameless? They obviously had no effect at all during the riot last night."

"Now I'm the first to jump out and target you. It's so abominable! It's so abominable!"

Minato was a little helpless.

"It's really not good, but they have such personalities, I can't just turn against them, right?"

Danzo and others were all veterans of the Three Dynasties and disciples of the Second Hokage.

With Minato's seniority, it is really difficult to turn against Tiangang and defeat the superior.

If he really did it, not only would the Third Sarutobi be able to explain it.

Even the Daimyo Kingdom is likely to cut off financial aid to blame Minato.

"Minato, you can't compromise, you can't admit defeat!"

"You know what? You know what?"

Kushina grabbed Minato's collar and shook it repeatedly to emphasize.

If she were the Hokage, she would have just exploded with those old guys. Saying one more word would be considered a loss!

No matter what, she didn't want Minato to become a sinner of Konoha and be criticized by the villagers.

At this moment.

Xia You spoke.

"He can not compromise. But for you and the child, he will choose to compromise."

Kushina immediately turned around and asked:

"Sir, what did you say?"

"A tragic [Tailed Beast Riot], with casualties and losses; it will inevitably give rise to hatred."

"If there is a clear enemy, then this hatred can naturally be directed to the outside world."

"Unfortunately, this enemy is too mysterious and almost no one has seen it."

"Therefore, after losing their beloved villagers last night, it is difficult to focus their hatred on the vague enemy; they will only focus on the more specific Nine-Tails and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"If Minato does not take the initiative to bear this sin blame, actively attract this hatred. "

"Then the villagers of Konoha will focus their hatred on you, Kushina; of course, the Uchiha clan, who is suspected of controlling the Nine-Tails, will also be indirectly hostile. "

"In this way, in the next few years or more than ten years, you and Naruto will live in an environment full of malice and hostility. "

"This is what Minato doesn't want to see, and it is also the real reason why he wants to take the blame. "

"Minato, am I right?"

Minato was stunned again, and then laughed:

"Sir, you have a keen eye, and you can't hide it from me!"

Kushina was stunned in place, and then her eyes quickly turned red, and tears burst out.

She was still angry about the village's unfair blame and targeting.

But Minato had already considered the future, and was even willing to bear all the infamy and blame for her and Naruto.

This guy, still looks like this!

Under gentleness and kindness, there is love and responsibility.

"Minato, you can't..."

"Kushina, for you and Naruto, I must..."

The two looked at each other, and the air became sour again.
