No Danzo

"I and Mito-Sama already know about the arrival of Uzumaki Han and Kiyome. You should leave now, Yukan." Hiruzen said.

Yukan exited the room quietly.

After Yukan exited, Hiruzen started to speak," I will make arrangements for you both to stay in the village. You don't need to pay the rent for the first six months. This is the only thing I can do for you." Hiruzen said.

Han, for the first time in a while, felt happy.

"Thank you, Hokage-Sama." Han thanked Hiruzen while Kiyome bowed with him too.

Han and Kiyome were about to turn around and leave but stopped after hearing Hiruzen's voice.

"From now on, you are Konoha's citizens. I advise you to not reveal your clan and to dye your hair since there might be some danger. Also, meet Mito-Sama once." Hiruzen said as he thought,' How come I did not see Danzo coming in to ask for the Uzumaki girl?'

Meanwhile, Yukan was heading toward his house to meet his mother.

No one in Konoha other than Hiruzen, Mito and Danzo knew about Yukan's return.

On his way back, he saw Minato heading in the same direction.

'Is he going to my house?'

Yukan appeared in front of the calmly walking Minato, scaring him for a second.

Minato was not in shock for a long time after seeing Yukan and asked," Hey Yukan, how have you been?"

"Sexy as always. What about you?" Yukan replied playfully.

"I'm doing good too, cutie pie," Minato said.

Yukan took out the sword he had received as a hidden quest reward and used it on Minato.

Minato got critically injured and stayed in the hospital for a long time.

After that, Yukan's imagination ended and a super warm smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, where were you going?" Yukan asked Minato.

"I was heading for some fuinjutsu training," Minato answered.

"You are still doing that? Is it not over till now?" Yukan asked.

For the previous four years, Minato has been learning fuinjutsu and training in taijutsu.

"Like, no one is teaching me anymore, I am just practising it. What about you? Where are you going?" Minato asked.

"To my house and then I will go and meet-, Nah, I'll not meet everyone today, I'm tired, bye," Yukan said as he turned around and left.

Yukan reached his house after some walking and knocked on the door.

The door opened as his mother came out.

She was stunned to see Yukan for a second and stood in her place without moving.

Yukan moved forward and hugged her.

Aayu finally regained her senses when Yukan hugged her while she hugged him back.

Yukan visited Konoha 3 months ago and did not send any letter for the past one and half months since he was on the mission with Sakumo.

This made Aayu worry a lot.

"Are you back this time?" Aayu asked Yukan as Yukan felt his shoulder getting a little wet.

"Yes, mom," Yukan said as he rested his head on his mother's shoulder.

Not long after, a loud grumble came from Yukan's stomach.

He was very embarrassed, not because his mother was there but because there were people all around.

Aayu laughed and pulled Yukan into the house.

"Go and wash up, I will set up the table," Aayu said as she walked towards the kitchen.

Yukan went into the washroom and filled the tub with warm water.

Yukan slowly removed his upper and it revealed his body.

He had a well-built body despite being a 13-year-old, his back and chest were covered with scars from the battles.

Yukan sat in the tub with his eyes closed for some time and finally relaxed completely.

On the battlefield, he could never do this, not only because there was no warm water, but also because there may be an enemy attack at any time thus, not letting anyone rest completely.

Aayu set up the table and sat on a chair as Yukan walked in.

"Not lying, you look so good, do you have a girlfriend?" Aayu asked with a playful smile on her face.

"I don't, mom," Yukan said as he picked up the chopsticks to start to eat.

Aayu smirked and said," Well, a red-haired girl named Kushina came here almost every day to ask about you. It is about time that she comes for today."

The rice that Yukan had in his mouth almost spat out.

He somehow managed to swallow it and then asked his mother," Mom, why are you telling me this? Why would I need to know this? I have to go and train with my new sword, so I'll leave soon."

Aayu raised her eyebrows and had an 'Are-you-seriously-asking-that?' expression on her face.

He started to get up from his seat.

She said," Just telling, even your friend Minato comes here every day and they both seem to be close, but you have to go and train, so bye, cutie pie."

Yukan heard this and sat back in his seat.

"Weren't you leaving?" Aayu asked intentionally. Even though she had herself realized what was happening, she wanted to hear it from her son himself.

"I-I, you know, I just came back and I want to spend some time sitting at the dining table with my mother, n-nothing else," Yukan told his mother as his face started to get a little red.

'And he calls her tomato.' Aayu thought in her mind.

As Aayu was thinking, a knock came on the door.

She looked at Yukan, still red and not willing to move.

Aayu got up, went to the main door and opened it.

Minato and Kushina were standing outside together.

"Hello, auntie, I am here for dinner again," Minato said while showing his teeth.

"Yes, come in, Minato. You too, Kushina, there is a surprise for you." Aayu said as she invited both of them in.

Kushina was confused, but she soon went in thinking that the surprise was some ramen for her.
