Naruto: Modern Science in Naruto

Chapter 142: MSIN: Chapter 141



---

Minato's final action didn't yield any positive results.

The final outcome of the Byakugan Retrieval War, unfortunately, ended in Konoha's defeat.

Therefore, Konoha Hidden Village was in mourning.

The entire Hyuga clan was crying their eyes out, their hearts were breaking, and their wails were incredibly tragic, like a girl who had experienced some terrible event… like losing her jawbone during a facial plastic surgery…

During the mission, Konoha lost another six ninjas. Although it's a pity, it's something that's unavoidable during ninja missions.

And in terms of encounter frequency, Haori and Kakashi's team ranked first. But in terms of harvest, they only got a ping pong ball.

After the mission ended, Haori and the others immediately returned to Konoha. They didn't even get to meet the world's best scientist, Orochimaru, a second time.

This was a bit of a pity.

In a sense, it was also a fortunate thing. After all, Haori avoided being sliced up… But in reality, Orochimaru at this time could still be considered to be following the rules. He was far from reaching the level of madness he would later achieve.

After both sides of ninjas had evacuated, the long-destroyed Uzushiogakure once again returned to its tranquility, or rather, its silence.

Not to mention Konoha's own evaluation of this mission, upon returning to Konoha, each team had to make a detailed report on their encounters during the mission.

Haori and Kakashi's team were naturally among them. There was nothing to hide. They just had to tell the truth.

Although the mission failed, this kind of situation where a medium-sized force of ninjas couldn't handle it, the blame for the failure couldn't be placed on every ninja on the execution side. If it had to be placed on someone, it should be placed on the decision-making and command level.

Therefore, Haori and the other ninjas who participated in the mission probably wouldn't be punished.

However, if we're talking about Haori's mission report, it definitely wouldn't be just once. After that, he would have to give a speech to Kushina.

Unfortunately, this time, it wasn't Kushina who was startled first, but Haori himself.

...

Kushina, as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, was a strategic and epic destructive "weapon." She was always carefully "preserved" in Konoha. In fact, apart from that mission where she acted with Haori, she hadn't left Konoha since then.

After all, no one could let her experience such a dangerous event again.

During the war, she was definitely one of the ninjas who had a relatively easy time.

She could even stay at home all day occasionally. When Haori came to find her directly, there was a 50% chance that he would find her.

This time was no different.

"What? Marriage?!"

This was a message that caught Haori off guard. He fell silent for a moment.

Although he wasn't familiar with the Naruto storyline, he wasn't completely ignorant. He knew about the turning point events. It was probably the Nine-Tails incident that happened around the time of Naruto's birth… It was something he had to prevent no matter what.

Now that Kushina was talking about getting married, did that mean it was about to happen?

Then, he should speed up his preparations.

If there were any more accidents, then his progress would not only have to be accelerated, but it would have to be even faster.

As he thought about this, Haori's gaze shifted to Kushina's abdomen.

Could Naruto-kun already be in there?

It's unlikely.

Overall, Kushina's waist and abdomen were still slender like a girl's. Considering that Minato is a relatively proper person, it shouldn't be a case of…

Noticing Haori's gaze, Kushina instantly realized something.

He was already thinking about that aspect when he mentioned marriage?! Her face instantly flushed red.

Embarrassed? It's unlikely. This is Kushina. She's the Blood-Red Pepper. Most of the time, she would blush because of anger.

Okay, she was a little embarrassed about this.

She placed her left hand on her abdomen, as if she could block Haori's view.

Haori's Lightning Release was a very fast technique. Faster than his Lightning Release was his thinking. Faster than his thinking was Kushina's fist.

Haori could guarantee that the words "marriage before childbirth" hadn't even finished going through his mind before Kushina had already punched him in the head.

Two bumps caused by blunt force trauma appeared on Haori's head.

The effect of the attack was excellent and immediate. Haori's evil thoughts disappeared.

Why were there two bumps from one punch? Because Kushina was quite strong. After hitting the back of his head, the momentum caused him to bump his head against the low table in front of him.

So, they were symmetrical.

"Haori, I've warned you before. Try to stay away from Jiraiya-sensei, okay?"

The blush on her face hadn't faded yet, and Kushina sat down opposite Haori and began to give him a lecture.

As she sat down, she hid her abdomen under the table.

Uh, is she covering up? Could there be something she's hiding?

Anyway, to avoid getting punched again, Haori decided to stop discussing this matter.

He immediately raised three fingers and swore to the heavens, "Any thoughts that arise in my mind must be due to my excessive contact with Jiraiya-jiji. I will stay away from him in the future."

"I didn't expect Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, to be such a person. He's subtly influencing others like this."

Of course, Jiraiya would take the blame. This was Kushina's inherent belief. She felt that if the child she had "watched grow up" had certain thoughts, it must be because he had been in contact with a dangerous person like Jiraiya.

Because they were master and disciple, Haori had inherited this. So, he didn't feel any pressure taking the blame. If Kushina didn't believe him, he could even shave his head to show his sincerity.

Fortunately, after hearing his promise, Kushina nodded in satisfaction.

This made Haori breathe a sigh of relief. He brought the topic back to the main point and asked, "But, getting married during this time? The atmosphere in the village…"

He actually wanted to say that the war was so intense right now. It shouldn't be a time for marriage, right?

If he had studied the Naruto chronology, he would know that it was indeed not yet time.

"I'm talking about planning to get married. It's a plan. Of course, it's not happening now. Minato has a lot of things to do. His missions never seem to end. So, we'll have to wait at least until the Great War calms down."

"By the way, Haori, why are you so excited? Are you marrying Minato or am I marrying Minato?"

Haori said he wouldn't take the bait.

Minato's mission intensity was indeed the highest. Compared to him, Haori was practically taking it easy.

"But, the Ninja World War? It's almost at its final stage, right?"

Haori thought this, but he said, "Since there's still some time…"

"Teacher, first, I suggest you practice your cooking skills."

"Second, you should also work on your temper…"

Even though it was marrying the teacher, for some reason, Haori felt like he was marrying off his daughter.

Kushina's eyes narrowed slightly. She asked in a casual tone, "Oh? Do you think there's something wrong with my cooking and my temper?"

"…"

"Of course not."

Haori knew Kushina's expression well. So, he shamelessly denied his suggestion and even picked up his water cup to cover it up.

Can't I just pretend I didn't say anything? Do whatever you want.
