The next morning, at Konoha Gate.
"Sensei, please take care of yourself."
Minato and Kushina said at the same time, their words filled with respect.
Jiraiya smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Well, see you next time."
Having said that, he suddenly turned around, and his figure became farther and farther away in the two people's sight, and gradually disappeared.
"Let's go too."
Kushina said and Minato nodded, and the two of them walked towards the interior of the village without directly using Flying Thunder God.
Because they don't have any tasks today.
"So beautiful." In front of a flower shop in Konoha, Kushina bent down and sniffed, a smile appearing on her face.
Minato was looking around casually, when suddenly his eyes were drawn to that place.
At the intersection behind, an old woman who walked unsteadily was being supported by a child who looked only five years old.
It was a little boy with short black hair. When Minato saw him, his eyes couldn't help but shrink, and he murmured in his heart: "Obito."
That was Minato's future disciple, Uchiha Obito, who died in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
"Thank you, kid. This is for you." After the old woman crossed the intersection, she took out a few pieces of candy from her bag with a smile and put them in Obito's hand.
"Thank you, grandma!" Obito said with a smile, then tore off the package, put a piece of candy into his mouth and started chewing.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, then he jumped up, scratched his head and shouted: "Oh no, it's late, I am going to be late!"
It seemed that because his movements were too big, the candy that he had just put into his mouth and had not yet melted was stuck in his throat, making his face turn red.
"Kid, are you okay?"
The old woman said anxiously, while Obito hammered his chest hard, as if to push the candy down.
Obito, who was still frightened, smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's okay, Grandma, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Having said that, Obito ran towards the direction where Minato and Kushina were.
"Minato, let's go." At this time, Kushina straightened up and said to Minato.
But at this moment Minato seemed stunned, with an indescribable meaning in his expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Kushina was stunned and turned slightly to the side.
"Bang!"
The next moment, a figure bumped into her, but Kushina was fine, and the figure sat down on the ground all of a sudden.
"It hurts so much."
Obito, who was sitting on the ground, waved his hands in pain, and Kushina, who was just bumped by him, also looked sideways and said, "Are you okay?"
Obito certainly didn't hurt her. He stood up from the ground, then quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry!"
"Yeah, that's okay."
Kushina responded, but before she could finish her words, Obito hurried past her again.
Minato turned slightly and looked at Obito's receding back, feeling melancholy.
His biggest regret in his previous life, apart from not protecting Kushina well, was not protecting his two disciples, Obito and Rin.
So when he saw him again, Minato couldn't help but feel some ripples in his heart.
"What's wrong with you?" Kushina grabbed his arm and asked with her head tilted.
Minato finally came back to his senses, chuckled, and said, "It's okay."
"Then let's go." Kushina said, and the two of them walked slowly forward.
At this time, Obito, who had already run to the end of the two people's sight, rushed over from a cross corner, but at this time, there was another thin figure running towards them.
In such a hurry, he had no time to dodge and could only stop as much as possible.
However, the figure on the opposite side seemed to be very agile. He turned around and just went around Obito who was rushing towards him.
Obito stepped on a stone, lost his balance and fell forward to the ground.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Kushina and Minato.
"Hey, you bastard, can you please not rush out so suddenly? It's very dangerous."
Obito stood up and looked at the white-haired boy in front of him who was much shorter than him. A hint of anger appeared on his face because of the continuous pain.
"I'm sorry," the white-haired boy said lightly, then he ignored him and walked away again.
"Stop right there, you damn bastard!"
Obito clenched his fists and was about to run forward to chase after him, but then he remembered that it was already too late, so he turned around and ran away.
"Kakashi."
The white-haired little boy was none other than Kakashi, who was already over three years old this year. Kushina and Minato recognized him at a glance, but the latter seemed to be concentrating at the moment and did not notice them.
As he passed by her, Kushina called him back.
Kakashi came back to his senses, then raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, a smile appeared on his calm face, and he said: "Brother Minato, Sister Kushina!"
Kushina narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled as well. Then she reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "You've grown a lot taller."
"Yeah." Kakashi responded.
Minato, who was standing by, noticed the pendant wrapped around Kakashi's calf and asked, "Are you training?"
"Yes." Kakashi nodded.
Kushina was surprised, because from the way he dodged just now, it seemed that Kakashi's skills and reactions were quite fast.
Unexpectedly, there was something tied to his leg.
"You are still so young, there is no need for you to practice like this, right?" Kushina said.
Little Kakashi shook his head and said, "In order to become a ninja like my father and brother Minato in the future, I must practice hard. This kind of training is also what Brother Minato went through when he was a child."
Hearing this, Minato chuckled and said, "Senior Sakumo told you, right?!"
"Yeah." Kakashi nodded and said, "Brother and sister, I have to continue my training. Goodbye!"
Kakashi said this very politely, and then ran around the streets of Konoha again.
Looking at Kakashi's departing figure, Kushina thought of Obito again and said, "Come to think of it, judging from the actions of that child just now, he should be a student of the Ninja School."
"Compared to Kakashi, he's quite a reckless boy." She chuckled, but it sounded like she didn't dislike Obito.
"Yeah, but he's also a very good little fellow."
Minato nodded. There were huge differences between Obito and Kakashi in terms of their personalities and ninja talents.
The two of them are respectively the dead last and the genius.
"Do you know the boy from before?" Kushina asked after hearing this.
Minato shook his head and chuckled in his heart: "Obito, you really haven't changed at all."
