"You've vented your anger now, haven't you?" After Shimura Danzō left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato with a smile.
"No. I was chased by two Jōnin and two Elite Jōnin. How could my anger be quelled so simply?" Minato shook his head, speaking very unhappily.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Minato speechlessly. What a vengeful little guy.
"When did you learn the Flying Thunder God Stage Two? You didn't even tell me."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked as if he felt left out for being kept in the dark.
"I'm not one of those little brats who shows off everywhere just because they learned a new ninjutsu. These are meant to be kept as trump cards."
Minato spread his hands and spoke plausibly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in relief. As expected, Minato was mature. However, hearing a little brat call others little brats felt a bit discordant.
After chatting with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a while longer, Minato left the Hokage's office.
Giving Shimura Danzō a Rasengan today made Minato feel quite good.
But it wasn't enough. Minato planned to go back and train Kushina properly so she could master the Nine-Tails sooner. Then, firing a Tailed Beast Ball at Root would definitely be very exciting. Wahaha.
Thinking of Shimura Danzō's miserable state, Minato couldn't wait to go to the Ninja Academy to find Kushina.
He wanted Kushina to communicate with that tsundere fox, the Nine-Tails, as soon as possible.
Upon arriving at the school, he was surprised to find Uchiha Mikoto there as well.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Mikoto blinked playfully upon seeing Minato.
"Indeed." Minato shrugged.
He hadn't expected her to guess his thoughts without invitation. As expected of the woman he had his eyes on; she really understood him.
Minato chatted with Mikoto outside and teased her, making her blush all over. She was extremely cute.
Not long after, Kushina came out. She glanced suspiciously at the blushing Mikoto but didn't say much, directly clinging to Minato.
Actually, she had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't show it.
Besides, she had no evidence, so she couldn't get jealous blindly.
Kushina didn't know that by the time she caught evidence, she would already be used to the three of them being together.
This was Minato's plan: make it a habit until it becomes natural.
For the next month, Minato didn't go out on missions. Mikoto and Nagakaze used the time to consolidate their newly broken-through strength.
As for Minato, he used the invincible Shadow Clone Jutsu every day to grind various Development Points.
Then he accompanied Kushina in her training, letting her use the Nine-Tails' chakra while practicing Sealing Jutsu and ninjutsu, and communicating with the Nine-Tails.
One day, while Minato, Kushina, and Mikoto were on the street, they found people discussing excitedly.
"Did you hear? Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, and Lord Orochimaru joined forces to resist the attack from Amegakure and were bestowed the title of 'Konoha's Sannin' by the famous Demigod, Hanzō of the Salamander."
"Of course I heard. The title of Konoha's Sannin is spreading all over Konoha now. It's said that because of their obstruction, Amegakure withdrew from the war with Konoha."
"That's right. As expected of the Hokage's three disciples. To be able to stop a Demigod is truly incredible."
Minato was startled after hearing the villagers' discussions.
The title of Konoha's Sannin had appeared? He had originally thought about improving his strength a bit more, at least reaching the Quasi-Kage level like Jiraiya, before going.
He had also thought about meeting this Hanzō of the Salamander, known as a Demigod, to see how strong he was.
But the fight over there was already over. What a killjoy.
However, Minato didn't struggle with it too much. It was just the Sannin's rise to fame, not his own.
Because of his existence, plus the flapping of the little butterfly's wings, the battle for fame probably happened earlier.
The old man wouldn't let him go, so he had no choice. Otherwise, he would have run to the front lines long ago to farm Development Points.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about sneaking out, but with Kushina in the village, Minato gave up on the idea. Anyway, he had plenty of chakra now, so creating shadow clones to develop various points wasn't particularly slow.
Every Development Point was rising at a visible speed. Minato's main body used the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to train his body.
Not only could it increase Sage Body Development, but it could also strengthen his physical body. Why not do it?
"Wow, the Sannin! Tsunade-neesan is so amazing to be given a title by that Demigod." Kushina's eyes shone; she wished she could replace them.
"Silly girl, don't worship them. What you need to do is surpass others. Make the entire ninja world worship you because of your strength, not seek recognition from some so-called strong people."
Minato had no objection to the Sannin title, but he would absolutely never be complacent about being given a title because he lost to someone or was spared by them.
To live for a title, one must defeat the enemy and seize the title oneself.
Just like in the original story, he killed 50 Iwa-nin Jōnin in an instant and thus earned the title "Yellow Flash."
"That's true. Just like my 'Red-Hot Habanero' title. I only got it after beating my peers until they ran away at the wind of my name." Kushina understood immediately.
However, this analogy made Minato sweat a little. Well, as long as Kushina was happy.
"In that case, Jiraiya-sensei should be back in the village soon, right? After all, the war in the Land of Rain is over," Mikoto said from the side.
"Who knows?"
Minato wasn't sure either. Because of the butterfly effect, would Jiraiya still meet those three little ones, the founders of the future Akatsuki organization?
But regardless, Minato had no intention of intervening. Those guys were being watched by Uchiha Madara. His current strength didn't allow him to interfere.
Besides, he didn't need to intervene in their early development. The entire Akatsuki organization's descent into darkness only happened after Yahiko's death.
Yahiko's death was inextricably linked to the village's "King of Scapegoats." You really could see his jumping figure everywhere.
