Chapter 105: Kushina Uzumaki, the Love-Scornerer (Slayer of Single Souls)
Kamishiro met the Nine-Tailed Fox jinchuriki, who is Naruto Uzumaki's mother and Minato Namikaze's wife.
However, Kamishiro had a really bad first impression of Kushina Uzumaki.
After all, who would punch him right on the head as soon as they met?
Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if she punched him once. But why didn't she punch Rin Nohara?
Kushina Uzumaki looked at Kamishiro's indignant expression, squinted her eyes and asked, "What, not convinced?"
Obito secretly kicked Kamishiro with his foot and whispered, "Don't provoke Lady Kushina. She'll really punch you."
Kamishiro stuck out his neck and said, "I'm just not convinced!"
Kamishiro pointed at Rin Nohara and said, "If you punch Rin on the head once, I'll be convinced!"
Kushina Uzumaki, Rin Nohara, and Obito all looked at Kamishiro in shock.
Kakashi covered his forehead, looking like he was already convinced.
After a moment of stunnedness, Kushina Uzumaki clutched her stomach and burst into laughter. Rin Nohara's face turned dark.
And Obito...
What a love - struck fool. Not worth mentioning.
In the end, there was no bump on Rin Nohara's head, but there was one more on Obito's.
Obito voluntarily took the punch for Rin Nohara, and Kushina Uzumaki was no polite person.
Since Obito volunteered, she gave him one more.
Obito even seemed quite happy about it.
Looking at Obito still grinning foolishly there, Kamishiro and Kakashi said in unison, "Idiot. There's no hope for you."
Rin Nohara, sitting beside Kushina Uzumaki, asked, "Lady Kushina, are you going to see Teacher Minato?"
Kushina Uzumaki nodded, with a somewhat remorseful expression on her face. "Yeah, I want to go and apologize to Minato."
Kamishiro, who smelled the scent of Baji, had already forgotten the pain on his head. He asked curiously, "What's going on? Did the young couple have a fight?"
Kushina Uzumaki's cheeks instantly flushed red. She retorted, "What young couple? Minato and I aren't even an item yet. Don't shoot your mouth off, kid!"
Kushina Uzumaki lowered her head again and murmured, "I lost my temper with Minato when he came to see me just now... I didn't mean to. I was just so looking forward to it. He promised to practice with me every day during my time in Konoha... Maybe Minato is bored with me."
Kamishiro curled his lips and said, "With Lord Minato's love - struck brain, he wishes he could be with you all day long. How could he get sick of you?"
Kushina Uzumaki suddenly lifted her head and stared at Kamishiro with bright eyes. "Huh? Tell me in detail!"
Kamishiro recounted, "I used to live with Lord Minato, and now I live next door to him. Every day when Lord Minato goes out, he grins from ear to ear. I can even catch a whiff of that sickly - sweet smell of love in my room. Lord Minato is dying to see you every day. How could he get sick of you?"
If you punch me in the head just because you're annoyed about this, I'll look down on you! I'm not your tool to flaunt your love!"
Kamishiro's look towards Kushina Uzumaki grew more and more resentful.
If he really got a bump on his head because of this, he would feel so wronged!
Kushina Uzumaki automatically ignored Kamishiro's resentful look. Her disappointed expression vanished in an instant, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily: "Is this true?"
"Fake! I'm just joking!"
Kamishiro thought that Kushina Uzumaki was going too far. How could she even ask him again if it was true?
It's so cruel to not only hurt single people but also make them feel worse! It's way over the line!
Naturally, Kushina didn't buy what Kamishiro said about it being fake. She stood up with a'swoosh' and said, 'I'm going to find Minato!' Then she happily ran towards the Third Training Ground.
Although Kamishiro and Kakashi didn't really care, Obito, who had an even more love - struck brain than Minato Namikaze, couldn't stand it.
Looking at Obito's envious and somewhat unfocused eyes, it was obvious that he had substituted Rin Nohara for Kushina Uzumaki and himself for Minato Namikaze.
Kamishiro looked at the dazed Obito and felt it necessary to make him face reality.
Kamishiro leaned close to Obito's ear and whispered, "You're not Lord Minato, and Rin isn't that fiery - tempered Lady Kushina. Wake up."
Obito came to his senses, smacked his lips regretfully, and complained to Kamishiro, "What do you mean by that?"
The fantasy Obito had just had was so wonderful that he didn't want to wake up.
Kamishiro scoffed, 'I'm afraid that if you keep daydreaming, you'll be in la - la land forever. Stop daydreaming and go learn something right now!'
Obito looked puzzled, "Huh? Learn? What to learn?"
Kamishiro replied to Obito, "Lord Minato is love - struck, but he's also a master at flirting with girls. Lady Kushina has a fiery temper, but she's completely smitten by him. If you can learn a bit from Lord Minato, you won't need my advice. Your chances of winning Rin's heart will be extremely high!"
"Really? But is Teacher Minato really a master at flirting with girls? I've never seen Teacher Minato chatting with any girls on normal days."
Obito tilted his head, doubting what Kamishiro said about Minato Namikaze being a master at flirting with girls.
Kamishiro sneered disdainfully and said, "What right do you have to doubt me! Lord Minato has used all his flirting skills on Lady Kushina. Of course, you don't know!"
Obito sized Kamishiro up and down suspiciously, "Kamishiro, this is the first time you've seen Lady Kushina today, right? How do you know that Teacher Minato has used all his flirting skills on Lady Kushina?"
Kamishiro puffed out his chest, "That's because I'm the same kind of person as Lord Minato. I'm also a hidden master at flirting with girls! So... if there's anyone who knows Lord Minato best, it must be me!"
Kakashi, who accidentally overheard the conversation between Kamishiro and Obito, quipped, "Oh? Then where's your girlfriend?"
Kamishiro instantly blew his top and snapped at Kakashi impatiently, "Mind your own business! I'm still young and I don't want to flirt right now, okay?!"
Kamishiro impatiently asked Obito, "Are you going or not? Just give me an answer. If not, I'm going home!"
Obito said almost without hesitation, "I'm going!"
If what Kamishiro said was true and Minato Namikaze was a master at flirting with girls, it would be amazing if he could learn a thing or two from him. Then Rin would focus all her attention on him, just like Kushina Uzumaki on Minato.
Kamishiro urged, "Then let's go quickly. Just now Lady Kushina said they'd be at the Third Training Ground. If we're late, we won't learn anything. Maybe we'll only get to see Lord Minato and Lady Kushina kissing."
Obito immediately took Kamishiro and rushed towards the Third Training Ground.
Rin sighed and followed them.
Kakashi looked confused and asked, "Rin, are you going too?"
Rin shrugged helplessly and said, "I have to. The flowers and ingredients I bought are still in Obito's hands!"
"Uh... That idiot Obito."
Kakashi was at a loss for words and had absolutely no patience with Obito and Kamishiro.
Rin went to chase after Obito and Kamishiro. After a short pause, Kakashi also followed.
Although Kakashi pretended to be indifferent on the surface, he was actually quite curious about whether Minato Namikaze was really the master at flirting with girls that Kamishiro had mentioned.
