Chapter 249

"The Messengers of Kumogakure...»

Yeruashi stroked his chin thoughtfully as he watched Rin leave, as far as he could remember, these people must be up to something.

Come to think of it, it should be about time. In a couple of days, Hinata will have a third birthday, and according to the rules of the Hyuga Clan, when the descendant of the main branch turns three years old, the descendants of the secondary branch install a bird cage, so no outsiders are invited to this birthday.

After thinking about it for a while, Yeruashi shook his head and smiled wryly.

This might be interesting.

In the original plot, the Kumo envoys threatened to resume the war if the Hyuga Clan did not provide a proper report, but in reality they were just targeting Byakugan.

After the Third World War of Shinobi, the Senju Clan finally withered, and the Hyuga Clan on the contrary quickly developed, taking their place. Hyuga became one of the two most powerful Clans of Konoha and tirelessly competed with the Uchiha Clan.

At the same time, Hiruzen maintained a policy of suppressing large clans. During the course of the war, the Third Hokage was forced to allow the Hyuga Clan to develop freely, and after the end of the war, he of course began to intensively suppress them. Apparently, Kumogakure understood the situation and decided to make a move.

This was a great opportunity for Hiruzen to show the Hyuga Clan that they should sit still, even if they had grown a lot during the war.

Because of the death of the messenger, demand the life of the Head of the Hyuga Clan and threaten to start a war? What nonsense is this?!

Not to mention Hiruzen, that old fox, even Yeruashi, who did not like to engage in such intrigues, easily understood the essence of the situation.

Just look at the end result.

Instead of Hiashi, Hizashi was issued, but in the end, after the return of the envoys, Kumogakure still did not start a war, the only result of this incident was the suppression of the Hyuga Clan by Hiruzen.

"Come out to say hello?»

"Forget it.»

Yeruashi thought for a moment and shook his head.

It doesn't matter.

Although Kurama has become a fat lazy fox, but the malicious actions of the Kumo messengers will still not be able to escape his perception, there is no need to concentrate on it. If it turns out that Kumo is not going to do anything, it will only create unnecessary tension.

He would take care of it when the Kumo envoys really decided to do something.

Yeruashi created a shadow clone and left the Hokage's office.

…

In one of the residences on the territory of the Uchiha clan.

The two women sat opposite each other on soft pillows, sipping their tea and chatting cheerfully.

One of them had bright red hair, it was of course Uzumaki Kushina, or better to say Namikaze Kushina.

Across from Kushina sat Uchiha Mikoto, the mother of Itachi and Sasuke.

"Naruto has already grown so tall.»

Mikoto poured a cup of tea and smiled at Kushina.

Kushina nodded, " Your Sasuke, too, looks like he'll grow up to be a real beauty in the future.»

"Hey...»

Mikoto smiled and looked around, " Where have these two already escaped to?»

Kushina took a sip of tea: "They ran to the back yard. Oh, my Naruto is so restless, by the end of the day I usually can barely stand on my feet.»

Mikoto replied, " I was lucky with that, Sasuke is usually looked after by Itachi, otherwise I would be in the same situation...perhaps you should find a teacher for Naruto?»

"It is difficult to find a good permanent teacher.»

Kushina shook her head, "I can handle this on my own.»

As they chatted, a man wearing wooden sandals walked down the corridor towards the back yard.

After looking closely at the passing figure, Mikoto and Kushina were stunned at first, and then abruptly stood up and greeted him, " Lord Hokage.»

"Never mind, I just came to observe Itachi's practice.»

Yeruashi looked at them with a smile and nodded.

Mikoto bowed once more and said thankfully: "Lord Hokage, you are so attentive to Itachi's practice, it probably takes a lot of your time.»

"No problem, I'm able to find free time for my own student.»

Yeruashi shook his head and looked at Kushina: "Are you all right? Minato asked me to take care of his wife and son, but I haven't looked in on you in two years.»

Kushina smiled at Yeruashi and said, " Thank you for your concern, Lord Hokage. We're all fine, I'm handling everything...you probably have a lot to do, in the past, Minato was often out of the house on duty.»

Kakashi very often comes to visit Kushina, so Yeruashi never came personally, but still ordered to give Kushina a decent allowance once a month, and if there were any problems, then the Shadow Guards were engaged in this.

"Then I'm calm, if you need anything, don't hesitate to contact Kakashi.»

Yeruashi nodded to Kushina and stepped forward, soon disappearing at the end of the corridor leading to the back yard.

Kushina and Mikoto bowed in the direction of the departing Yeruashi, and only straightened up when he left.

Mikoto looked at Kushina and sighed, noticing her gaze: "Are you thinking about the Fourth Hokage? If it hadn't been for the Kyubi incident...»

"No.»

Kushina shook her head and smiled a little sadly, "If Minato was still a Hokage, it would be very difficult for him to change Konoha like the Fifth Hokage did, and I wouldn't be able to tame the Kyubi.»

She was grateful to Yeruashi, because without him, not to mention such a quick recovery from the effects of the war and rapid development, Konoha would most likely have been destroyed in that incident altogether.

In her opinion, as Hokage, Minato made the right decision. Whether it is the rapid development of Konoha or the way the Shinobi of Konoha respect and honor 'Lord Kurama', all this confirms the correctness of his decision. In addition, Yeruashi saved her life so that she could take care of Naruto.

In fact, Kushina was a little uncomfortable with the fact that she received a monthly allowance and stayed at home all the time, but now Naruto is only three years old.

She's going to wait until Naruto starts going to the academy and go to Yeruashi to ask him to pick up a shinobi job...although due to the fact that Minato died fighting for Konoha, Kushina deserves all this, but she wanted to continue to be a shinobi and help Konoha.

"He really is a wonderful Hokage.»

Mikoto couldn't help but nod at Kushina's words, after all, even the legendary First Hokage couldn't tame the Kyubi.
