Building a Love Nest Together? Is the Jonin Apartment Too Cramped?

"Obito! Obito!"

Nohara Rin ran forward in a panic, clawing at the collapsed pile of debris.

Kakashi, who had been indifferent, was also taken aback and quickly jumped down from the roof.

"I'm... hiss... Rin, I'm okay! Hiss... that hurts! Cough, cough... choking..."

Obito's voice came from under the pile of debris. Before he could finish a sentence, he gasped in pain several times.

"Stand back."

Yamanaka Kei's voice came from behind Kakashi and Nohara Rin.

Hearing his voice, and knowing that their teacher's close friend had chosen to help, the two quickly stepped aside.

*Water Release: Water Prison Technique!*

Yamanaka Kei formed a hand seal with his right hand, and the surrounding rain rapidly gathered on the pile of debris.

Almost instantly, all the debris was wrapped in a huge, pale blue water prison formed by the water sphere.

He raised and flicked his hand seal upwards.

The water prison, originally attached to the ground, lifted the debris it contained several meters into the air, and then moved horizontally to the corner of the wall.

Revealing Obito Uchiha below, who was hugging a calico kitten, trying to arch his back, and grimacing in pain.

"Obito! How are you! Don't move! Let me take a look..."

Nohara Rin rushed to Obito's side and took out a portable first aid kit from the ninja tool bag on her lower back.

She quickly treated the injuries on Obito's back.

Kakashi, who was on the side, took the mission target, the calico kitten, from Obito's hand.

His eyes were fixed on the final landing spot of the Water Prison Technique just now.

The Water Prison Technique, which had originally enveloped the entire pile of debris, rolled and surged as it fell, quickly stacking the debris neatly.

When it finally landed, it turned into trickles of water, silently disappearing into the surrounding rain.

Such outrageous ninjutsu control.

Kakashi had never seen it, let alone heard of it!

The Water Prison Technique could be used like this?

After the Water Release was cast, the water didn't just scatter with a crash?

Is this really a Yamanaka Clan ninja?

Shouldn't they be more proficient in their clan's secret techniques?

Is he an anomaly?

Or is this guy's clan secret technique even more powerful than Water Release?

Hmm?

Might Guy mentioned earlier that his team leader also had this name, right?

Kakashi, despite maintaining his usual cold, dead-fish-eyed expression, felt countless questions arise in his heart.

He watched Yamanaka Kei, who had already turned and left at some point.

The hand holding the calico cat's arm tightened slightly.

In the past, he had always believed that his strength was already quite close to that of the veteran Jonin, and all he lacked was combat experience.

Once his body grew a bit more, and his strength and speed improved further, he could definitely become a leader among the Jonin.

But now it seemed that he was too arrogant.

Among Konoha's Jonin, there might be many with mediocre strength, but there were also powerhouses like his teacher Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Kei.

"Hey! Kakashi, I got the information first this time, and I even caught the mission target!"

Obito Uchiha received Nohara Rin's careful treatment, his face still carrying a childlike smugness and pride.

As for the injuries on his body, they were just some contusions and bruises from being hit by heavy objects.

After applying the medicine, he would be almost completely healed by tomorrow.

In comparison, being able to make Kakashi suffer was well worth these minor injuries.

"You almost killed the mission target."

Kakashi held the calico cat under its armpits, his gaze towards Obito carrying a hint of disdain in its coldness.

It was just a D-Rank Mission, and it was already bad enough that he dragged his feet and caused the first capture to fail. Not only did he injure himself afterward, but he also almost injured the mission target.

Impulsive, reckless, emotional, not considering the consequences of his actions, lacking a sense of time, and always encountering various unexpected situations at crucial moments...

He never thought that he would one day become teammates with someone like this.

"Alright, alright~ Teammates should get along well... Huh? Did Senior Kei already leave? I haven't had a chance to properly thank him for his help."

Nohara Rin subtly shifted her position, blocking the line of sight between the two.

She glanced at the spot where Yamanaka Kei had been, trying to change the subject and act as the team's bond and lubricant.

In the street corner in the distance, hidden in the rain and mist.

Yamanaka Kei looked at the shadow clone of Namikaze Minato hiding behind the wall and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"If you're worried, wouldn't it be better to follow openly?"

"Kakashi is already a Chunin, but this child's personality and way of handling things are a bit extreme. I still hope he can recognize the importance of his comrades more. If he knows I'm there, it will always affect his true thoughts and decisions."

Namikaze Minato scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, euphemistically explaining Kakashi's problem.

He had good talent, strong strength, and was very self-disciplined, but he was affected by the Konoha White Fang Sakumo Hatake's incident, and some of his performances during missions really gave him a headache.

"Tsk~ His father died for nothing."

Yamanaka Kei curled his lips, and complained about Kakashi.

"He will understand one day."

Namikaze Minato sighed, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Back then, the renowned Konoha White Fang was once considered a strong contender for the Fourth Lord Hokage.

Who would have thought that he would commit suicide amidst a storm of rumors?

At first, he couldn't understand why Sakumo Hatake would make such a choice.

But after Yamanaka Kei's reminder and observing the changes in Konoha over the years, he truly felt the far-reaching impact of this event.

In the initial six months after White Fang's suicide, Konoha's mission casualty rate increased dramatically.

Although some higher-ups were unwilling to admit their mistakes, the Lord Hokage would always repeatedly urge the ninjas accepting missions to cherish their own lives and the lives of their companions.

Many high-difficulty missions would even emphasize during their release that they could be abandoned depending on the situation.

As long as there was a legitimate reason, they would not be held accountable.

The number of missions that were rigidly required to be completed at all costs was greatly reduced.

Many Konoha ninjas who were frequently dispatched on high-difficulty missions secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Who could say that White Fang's death was meaningless with such changes?

"Where's your main body?"

Yamanaka Kei didn't want to continue the topic of Sakumo Hatake.

He had also tried to change Sakumo Hatake's ending, but the Hatake Clan was from a samurai family.

Sakumo Hatake had his own beliefs and persistence, and it was by relying on this belief that he became the Konoha White Fang, famous throughout the ninja world!

So when the belief collapsed.

He couldn't persuade him, and no one could.

"This... Earlier, those researchers we sent back from Summoning Island have all been questioned by the Anbu through 'Reverse Hypnosis'. The new research institute has also started construction at Training Ground Zero. After Honoka found out, she took the initiative to request to undergo Reverse Hypnosis questioning as well."

"The main body accompanies his girlfriend, and the shadow clone accompanies his disciple. You're really working hard."

"Haha~ It's okay!"

"Bring Honoka to my house at noon tomorrow. Kushina, Nara Suzaku, Yoshino, and the others will be there. Let's try the new restaurant's dishes together."

"Honoka will be very happy to know that."

Namikaze Minato nodded with a smile.

Although the Anbu's Reverse Hypnosis wasn't as detailed as memory reading, it was enough to determine Honoka's position.

After questioning her and then meeting Kushina, who was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, even if the Lord Hokage knew, he wouldn't say much.

Then, Namikaze Minato thought of last night's embarrassing experience.

He took the initiative to ask.

"Kei, do you know the procedures for handling housing land approval?"

"Building a love nest together? The Jonin Apartment isn't spacious enough?"

"Ah? No, it's just that, well, I just think..."

Namikaze Minato's thoughts were exposed, and he almost couldn't maintain the shadow clone, feeling utterly embarrassed.

"Take your Jonin certificate and go directly to Nara Suzaku, he knows the ropes. When you move into your new home, I'll give you my best wishes."

Yamanaka Kei patted Minato's shoulder, interrupting his attempt to explain.

"Uh... what kind of wishes?"

"Nine babies in one birth."

"???"
