MSIN: Chapter 14

---

Kakashi, also being a sensible child, understood Haori's meaning. He also said, "Teacher Minato, we should also take our leave."

"What? Leaving now? I still wanted to have a fated duel with Haori. Plus, my training plan for today isn't finished yet. I also wanted to ask Teacher Minato…"

Obito was dissatisfied with Haori and Kakashi's request to disband.

What did he mean by a fated duel? When did Obito get infected by that watermelon head in the tight-fitting frog suit?

Haori slapped his own forehead. "Obito, bro, can't you read the mood?"

"Obito, we really should go," Rin said to him.

"Um, alright, if Rin says so," Obito said, scratching his head awkwardly. Then he agreed to disband.

(ShixT9: Simppppppp)

Obito's tantrum didn't require Kakashi to stop him, nor did it require Haori to intervene. Rin's single glance and word could KO him.

As teachers, of course, they accepted the students' good intentions.

Minato said, "Alright, you guys go get some rest. You can relax when you get back to the village. Especially Obito and Rin."

We'll leave Minato and Kakashi aside. They were already used to the pace of war. As for Rin and Obito, who had only been on the battlefield for three months, to be honest, they were really having a rough time.

This time they had seven days of rest, they could relax well in the village.

After Minato gave his instructions, they really did go their separate ways...

Haori had gotten a close-up look at the Yellow Flash, those three had gotten a close-up look at Blood Red Pepper. What more could they want? Everyone go home.

The only unfortunate thing was that Haori and Obito lived in the same direction, so he had to endure the latter's constant chatter on the way.

…

The next day, Minato invited his students to have barbecue. Of course, Shiraishi Haori was included.

In Haori's past life, his living expenses completely relied on the assistance money provided by Konoha. Eating barbecue was basically a luxury he couldn't afford.

After he became a Genin, Konoha had automatically stopped giving him assistance money. He and Kushina were not enthusiastic about taking on low-level missions, so his income was still insufficient. To eat barbecue, he would need to rely on Kushina. Otherwise, it was still a luxury he couldn't afford.

Now, he was hoping that Kushina would quickly finish developing the Inner Four-Symbols Sealing Technique, so he could get a few hundred thousand ryo from the mission reward. Then he could improve his standard of living.

So, was he going to accept an invitation to eat from the future Fourth Hokage?

The answer was: Why wouldn't I?

"It's been a while since I came back to Konoha. I'm starting to miss the taste of Konoha barbecue." Minato said after ordering at a certain barbecue restaurant.

Given Minato's amount and level of missions, he was definitely in the highest income group in Konoha, so even if he ate the entire restaurant empty, it wouldn't bankrupt him. Everyone knew this, so they didn't try to save him any money at all.

Rin and Obito were also dressed more casually. Although they still carried a few weapons, at least they weren't wearing their mission outfits from yesterday. After a night of rest, their spirits had improved a lot.

Resting on the front lines and resting in Konoha were two completely different concepts. On the front lines, you couldn't let your guard down, regardless of the time. But in Konoha, the rear area, there were basically no safety concerns.

Rin said that there had already been casualties among their graduating class. This was a very euphemistic way of saying it. The truth was that more than half of the new graduates had already been killed or injured in just these three months.

Even a kage-level powerhouse like Minato couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't run into problems in every battle. What about those brand new graduates? The battlefield was always accompanied by death, and death was always equal. The victims could be shadow-level powerhouses, ordinary Genin, Hokage's children, or nameless ninjas.

Returning to Konoha allowed these people who had come off the battlefield to temporarily forget about the heavy topic of death.

…

"You two are really developing forbidden jutsu?" Everyone chatted casually while eating barbecue. Of course, mainly it was Kushina and Minato talking, while the others were listening.

In fact, Haori was stuffing food into his mouth without any restraint. He didn't have time to talk.

Kushina was showing off her genius student to Minato, but she didn't expect such a huge reaction.

She said unhappily, "What's the problem? Didn't I teach you a lot of forbidden jutsu when we were younger? In my opinion, Haori's talent is even higher than yours."

Minato smiled awkwardly. Kushina seemed to enjoy embarrassing him in front of the younger generation? This wasn't a good sign.

"Well…," Minato hadn't finished speaking when Kushina immediately said to Haori, "Haori, show Minato your jutsu."

"Here? Not really a good idea." Haori hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and said hesitantly. Performing jutsu in a barbecue restaurant wasn't a good thing.

Kushina said "your jutsu." Haori naturally knew what to do.

You know, from this moment on, the Copy Ninja really became a Copy Ninja. Because his only original jutsu was going to be copied right now.

By a shameless time traveler.

"Just show him your jutsu, what's all the fuss about."

"Alright."

After getting another light whack on the head, Haori had no choice but to extend his hand.

Everyone was a little confused. What was he doing? Was he showing off the beauty of his hand?

Kakashi looked at Haori in front of him. He was two years older, a little taller, and had the same hair color, but his skin was pale, and he didn't look very strong. To be honest, he didn't really know Haori. Although they had been in the Ninja Academy for half a year, Haori had left almost no impression on him. In contrast, he remembered Might Guy very clearly.

It was inevitable. No one could forget someone who challenged them a dozen times a day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now I will demonstrate a new jutsu. Please watch carefully. This technique is called Chidori."

(ShixT9: Lmao the audacity, with Kakashi right beside him )

While speaking, Haori half-raised his forearm, and his right hand curled loosely. But the next moment, a piercing sound and a brilliant electric light appeared in his palm!

The blue lightning seemed to come alive, dancing in Haori's palm. His fingers seemed unable to contain this mass of chakra. Danger and destruction seemed to be imminent.
