Chapter 24: Someone, arrest the lecher! Someone's trying to peep!
"Aniki Minato is here to soak in the hot spring too."
"Yeah, after my disciples finished their training, I just brought them here to relax. And we just arrived not long ago."
Looking at Minato Namikaze's smile, as warm as the sun, Yue Yan sighed that he truly lived up to his reputation as the little sun. He's damn handsome. It definitely wasn't because Minato outshines his understated handsomeness.
"Yue Yan, how's your learning of sealing ninjutsu going? You can ask me if you have any questions."
Hearing this, Yue Yan smiled and thanked him.
"As for sealing ninjutsu, it's okay. I just got started not long ago. By the way, did Sister Kushina come with you?"
"Kushina will come later. She said she's going to give some gifts to Kakashi and the others to celebrate their successful passing of the first round of the Chunin Exams."
As he said that, Minato stroked Yue Yan's head. He really liked Yue Yan, a clansman of Kushina.
"I'll trouble you to accompany Kushina more when I'm out on missions."
"Don't worry, Aniki Minato. I'll take care of Sister Kushina."
Yue Yan gave a thumbs up. His white teeth showed a strange Reflection under the light.
But looking at this smile, Minato always felt something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It seemed like his head was a bit heavy.
At this time, Obito Uchiha came up behind Yue Yan with a resentful look on his face, his words full of grievances.
"Yue Yan, you bastard, when did you start calling Teacher Minato Aniki? How come I didn't know?"
Realizing what Obito was concerned about, Yue Yan curled his lips and looked down at him condescendingly.
"Hehe, I'm Sister Kushina's younger brother. In other words, you have to call me Shishu."
"Damn it! I..."
Before Obito, who felt he'd been taken advantage of, could get angry, Yue Yan waved his hand as if in disgust.
"Don't call me Shishu, though. I'd feel ashamed having a disciple like you who got knocked down in one move."
Knowing that Yue Yan was referring to the fact that he was kicked flying by Might Guy in the first round of the Chunin Exams, Obito's big face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
"It was that bastard Might Guy who launched a sneak attack. Otherwise, I'd have roasted him with my Fire Release."
"Yeah, right. Then Might Guy would dodge your Fire Release and give you a kick, and you'd get kicked flying again."
"Ahhh, bastard! I'll challenge you to a duel!"
Watching Obito, who was fuming with anger after being goaded by Yue Yan in just a few words, Minato beside them just gave a helpless smile and had no intention of intervening at all. After all, in his opinion, this was a sign of a good relationship between the two of them.
"That's right, Obito. Yue Yan is right. If you're lousy, just train more! Don't make so many excuses."
When Kakashi also joined in the verbal attacks on Obito Uchiha, Obito completely shut down. Facing the merciless barbs of the two, Obito felt like there was no point in living. Kelp - like tears streamed down the corners of his eyes.
But his last bit of stubbornness made Obito can't help defending himself.
"Dang it! I just wasn't prepared. If I'd been ready, that bastard Might Guy wouldn't have stood a chance against me!"
In response, Yue Yan and Kakashi both shrugged. As Obito's good friends, they indeed knew that Obito was quite powerful, but all sorts of unexpected things always happened, and they didn't know what to say.
Just then, a loud shout came from the direction of the women's bathing area next door.
"Someone, catch the pervert! Someone's trying to peep! Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Hearing this, Yue Yan and Minato Namikaze exchanged a glance. Recognizing the voice as Kushina's, they didn't hesitate and quickly changed their clothes and rushed over.
Just as they arrived outside the door, they saw a middle - aged man with white hair and a Forehead Protector marked with the character 'Oil'. He was being tied up like a mummy by the golden chains that Kushina had extended.
Judging from the battered look on the white - haired man's face, he had clearly been beaten badly.
Moreover, the women who also rushed out of the women's bathing area, holding all sorts of things like brushes, bathtubs, and stools, all attacked the white - haired man at once.
It was not until they were tired from beating that they left.
Minato looked at the familiar figure lying on the ground. He was battered and looked a bit like he was enjoying it. Minato couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sigh. But he still stepped forward to help the man up.
"Master Jiraiya, you're at it again."
Beside him, Kushina, with her arms crossed and a look on her face that clearly said 'Praise me quickly', asked Minato for praise.
"Minato! I stopped Master Jiraiya from peeping. Come on, give me some props!"
"Uh..."
On one side was his girlfriend, and on the other was his teacher. Minato scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Minato sighed again and looked at Yue Yan, the only one present who knew the Mystical Palm Technique, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Yue Yan, could you please treat Master Jiraiya?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged. As soon as he heard that someone was trying to peep, he had already guessed it was Jiraiya.
Approaching Jiraiya, who was tied up like a mummy by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, Yue Yan used the Mystical Palm Technique to treat him.
Since the attackers were just ordinary people, Jiraiya's injuries weren't too serious and were quickly treated.
But this was also thanks to Yue Yan's increasingly proficient Mystical Palm Technique.
Looking at Yue Yan treating him, Jiraiya was quite surprised.
"So cute, yet you're a boy."
"Uncle, you're the first one to recognize I'm a boy at a glance."
Yue Yan couldn't help but think that Jiraiya, known for disappearing on his womanizing escapades, really did have sharp eyes honed over the years.
"Uncle?"
Am I really that old?"
Jiraiya argued indignantly. Although it was normal for Yue Yan, given his current age, to call him uncle, no one wanted to be called old.
"Anyway, your Mystical Palm Technique (Medical Ninjutsu) has reached a level where you could easily work at the Konoha Hospital."
Jiraiya sized up Yue Yan carefully. Among the people he knew, even Tsunade wasn't as good at Mystical Palm Technique (Medical Ninjutsu) as Yue Yan at this age.
"Of course. Yue Yan is my little brother."
Kushina grabbed Yue Yan and ruffled his hair. No matter how much Yue Yan struggled, it was no use.
Hearing this, Jiraiya remembered what Hiruzen Sarutobi told him.
He glanced at the red streak at the end of Yue Yan's hair and murmured to himself.
"Uzumaki Clan, huh?"
Jiraiya then noticed that he was still tied up by Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains. He looked at Kushina helplessly.
"Can you untie me first?"
Hearing this, Kushina finally released the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
Jiraiya stretched and complained annoyedly, "Come on, I just arrived and got tied up right away."
"Who told you, Teacher Jiraiya, to always peep."
"What? In your eyes, am I just a pervert who peeps?" Jiraiya's mouth twitched. He looked at Minato Namikaze with pity. Having a girlfriend like this, Minato Namikaze must be having a tough time.
Noticing Jiraiya's look, Minato Namikaze scratched his head awkwardly. Knowing better than to say anything, he decided to change the topic.
"This isn't a good place to chat. It's so late. Let me treat you, Teacher Jiraiya, to some ramen."
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze looked at Kakashi and the others standing beside him.
"Do you guys want to come too?"
Just as Obito Uchiha was about to say yes, Kakashi covered his mouth from behind. Not wanting to interrupt Minato Namikaze's reunion with his teacher, he politely declined and left with the tactless Obito Uchiha. Rin just gave a helpless smile, said goodbye to Minato Namikaze and the others, and then left too.
