Chapter 123: Cross-dressing, there are only zero times and countless times.
Yue Yan's Mother and Father used to be ninjas. Although they weren't very powerful, there was still an extra room in this house for Minato Namikaze to stay.
At night, after just finishing washing up and getting ready to read a book before going to sleep, Yue Yan saw Minato Namikaze teleport back using the Flying Thunder God Technique, carrying some late-night snacks and two ryo of sake.
"Yue Yan, have some late-night snacks."
Hearing this, Yue Yan didn't refuse and sat down at the dining table with Minato Namikaze.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, how are Kakashi and the others doing now?"
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze, who had just opened the late-night snacks, showed a helpless smile.
"Maybe Obito Uchiha's sacrifice had too much of an impact on Kakashi. Even though you recommended Jiraiya - sensei's books to him before, the situation only improved a little, just a little."
Minato Namikaze is a very responsible teacher. But at that time, when Obito Uchiha was in trouble, it was too far away. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique that could teleport, even if all of Minato Namikaze's chakra was exhausted, he couldn't make it in time.
Because of this, not only Kakashi but also Minato Namikaze blamed himself very much.
"Kakashi has now returned to the Anbu. As for Rin, I heard she's doing well at the Konoha Hospital. She should become a full - fledged doctor in a few days."
Now Minato Namikaze's team was more or less in name only. After all, Kakashi and Rin both had their own things to do and were very busy. The time they could meet was also very short.
"Yue Yan, really thank you. I've never seen Kushina so happy before yesterday." Minato Namikaze took a sip of sake and shook his head with a smile. "If you hadn't stopped me, after hearing Orihime's past, I really would have gone to the Grass ninja village."
Hearing this, Yue Yan waved his hand cheerfully.
"This is what I should do. As for the Grass ninja village, I killed about a hundred or so grass ninjas at that time. I sort of avenged Orihime."
"True."
After that, Yue Yan and Minato Namikaze chatted while eating. Soon, Minato Namikaze finished one ryo of sake.
Seeing Minato Namikaze reaching for the second ryo, Yue Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, do you have something on your mind?"
"Yeah." Minato Namikaze smiled. "Yue Yan should also know that although the current war is still going on, it's no different from being over. It's just that each village sends some ninjas to gain military merits. The war should end next year."
"It's August now. It should be over soon."
"After the war ends, I'll marry Kushina, and then I'll achieve my dream."
Minato Namikaze's face was now flushed from the alcohol, and his eyes were a bit blurred.
"I feel it's a bit like a dream."
"It is quite dreamy."
Yue Yan's thoughts drifted away, and he remembered a certain funny idiot wearing windproof glasses.
So much time has passed. Rin has been staying well at Konoha Hospital and hasn't left the village. Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha Clan and Black Zetsu, those two sneaky and despicable guys, simply had no chance to do anything to Rin. But Obito Uchiha still hasn't returned to Konoha. This isn't like Obito at all, the guy who could fight against the whole world for Rin.
In this regard, Yue Yan could only think that Madara Uchiha had some backup plan to deceive Obito Uchiha into carrying out the Moon's Eye Plan without having to kill Rin.
However, no matter what Madara Uchiha's backup plan was, after his death, Yue Yan would find Obito Uchiha and put Rin in front of him. Yue Yan didn't believe that Obito Uchiha, who could resist the erosion of the Ten-Tails' will, wouldn't change his mind.
As for whether the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident would happen again...
Looking at Minato Namikaze's happy smile, Yue Yan felt that no matter whether the future Nine-Tailed Fox Incident would occur or not, he had to make thorough preparations.
After all, both Kushina and Minato Namikaze were very kind to Yue Yan. In return for their sincerity, Yue Yan would never allow anything to happen to them.
Just as Yue Yan was thinking about whether to make more preparations for prevention, Minato Namikaze spoke up.
"Hey, Yue Yan."
Minato Namikaze scratched his face awkwardly and turned his head away with an embarrassed look.
"Kushina and I plan to hold our wedding in ryo months. We'd like to invite you then."
"Sure."
Yue Yan was a bit confused. Given his relationship with Minato Namikaze and Kushina, it was normal to be invited to their wedding. But why did Minato Namikaze have such an expression?
"Well... I don't really know how to tell you this."
Minato Namikaze tugged at his blond hair, looking very strange.
In response, Yue Yan shrugged, looking completely nonchalant.
"Senior Brother Minato Namikaze, given our relationship, I'll definitely help with whatever it is. Just tell me straight."
"Alright, since you've said so, Yue Yan."
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath.
"Kushina said before that she wants Kakashi and a few of my friends to be groomsmen at the wedding. We need a total of five groomsmen."
"Is there a shortage of groomsmen? I can be one."
"No."
Minato Namikaze shook his head, then looked up at Yue Yan expectantly.
But seeing Minato Namikaze's expression, Yue Yan had a really bad feeling.
Sure enough, Minato Namikaze said, "The number of groomsmen is enough. But when we count Rin, we still need one more bridesmaid. So, could you..."
"No, bye."
Yue Yan immediately stood up and was about to go back into the house. Come on, Dude. He was a big guy. Was it appropriate for him to be a bridesmaid? What? You say it's a pity for Yue Yan's face not to be a bridesmaid? No way. So what if he was good-looking? Good-looking guys don't become bridesmaids.
Seeing Yue Yan getting up to leave, Minato Namikaze quickly grabbed him and pulled him back to his seat.
"Yue Yan, I know you might not want to."
"
Yue Yan: (ー`′ー)
Minato Namikaze: (-_-lll)
"Alright, you're very reluctant, but apart from you, there's no suitable candidate."
Hearing this, Yue Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"What do you mean there's no suitable candidate? What about Sister Mikoto Uchiha?"
"Mikoto Uchiha is already married. Bridesmaids have to be single."
Minato Namikaze was also helpless. Apart from Yue Yan, he and Kushina really had no idea who else could take on this important task.
"What about Orihime..."
"Orihime is pregnant, so she's not suitable either. The others either aren't close enough or are already married."
Before Yue Yan could finish speaking, Minato Namikaze answered first, then looked at Yue Yan pleadingly.
"Yue Yan, I really don't know who else to ask apart from you. I don't want Kushina to have an incomplete wedding. Please, I owe you one."
Minato Namikaze grabbed Yue Yan's hand and stared at him affectionately.
Yes, in Yue Yan's view, Minato Namikaze's current look was indeed affectionate.
In response, Yue Yan pulled his hand back with a look of disgust, but finally reluctantly agreed under Minato Namikaze's repeated pleas.
It's just wearing women's clothes. Before, to anger Chiyo, he even used the Transformation Technique to turn into the appearance of Angel Yan. Being a bridesmaid or something, there was no Mondai... Well, the Mondai is actually quite big.
Just thinking about it, Yue Yan mumbled to himself that the famous saying from his past life was really true. Wearing women's clothes was either zero times or countless times.
Yue Yan was now thinking whether it was the karma he created before that got him cursed by that seven - thousand - year - old spinster, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
"Let's make it clear first. It's just this once. After the process is over, I'll take off the bridesmaid's dress right away."
"No problem."
Minato Namikaze patted his chest, indicating that everything was okay.
