Lady Tsunade was momentarily stunned by the sudden gratitude.
"Ah... you two sit down first, dinner will be ready soon."
Lady Tsunade looked towards the kitchen.
She guessed that Roy had used her name to do something outside again.
However, good things are always right.
"Teacher..."
"Brother Minato, Sister Kushina."
"You didn't say you were coming over, I'll fry two more dishes and we can eat together."
After Roy put down the dishes, he greeted them simply and then went back into the kitchen.
"Lady Tsunade, your disciple is really good!"
"Whether it's his character or his talent."
Minato could tell that Roy was composed and handled things well.
He was excellent.
"Yes."
"Speaking of which, Minato, where's your teacher?"
Lady Tsunade looked at Minato and asked directly.
"My teacher... I don't know either."
Minato was a bit clueless.
When Jiraiya was mentioned, he really didn't know.
His teacher was always elusive.
Soon, Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi brought out the dishes Roy had made.
That's right, Kurenai Yuhi already treated this place as her own home.
Every day after school, she would come here first.
She would help Lady Tsunade tidy up the house, and then learn some Taijutsu and the like.
Most importantly, she wanted to wait for Roy to come back and cook with him.
"Shinku Yuhi's daughter?"
"She..."
"She used to be Roy's deskmate, and they had a good relationship."
Seeing Kushina's puzzled expression, Lady Tsunade casually explained.
"Do both of these girls like Roy?"
Kushina was a little surprised.
Minato was also very outstanding back then, but it seemed like such a situation never occurred.
And after Minato and she got together, it seemed even less likely for love rivals to appear.
What Kushina didn't know was that it wasn't that there were no love rivals, but that no one dared to be a love rival!
Firstly, Minato didn't have a clan and was considered a genius among common Ninja.
Those who valued clan bloodlines heavily would never allow a union with Minato.
Secondly, Kushina was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki!
And she had a fiery temper; no one dared to provoke her.
After dinner, Lady Tsunade and Kushina chatted.
Minato and Roy escorted Kurenai Yuhi home together.
On the way back.
"Roy, why do you want to become a Medical Ninja?"
"I've heard a lot about you these past few days; you might have extraordinary talent in Medical Ninjutsu."
"But your Taijutsu and Ninjutsu are also very strong."
"Have you considered developing into a combat-type Ninja?"
Minato was an honest person and directly expressed his thoughts.
He could suppress Might Guy in Taijutsu, surpass Kakashi Hatake in swordsmanship, and already master releasing 8 Shadow Clones simultaneously in Ninjutsu.
Excluding other unrevealed Ninjutsu, this was already a qualified Genin.
Moreover, Roy was only seven years old.
He had a long way to go in the future.
If he only confined himself to Medical Ninjutsu, it would be a bit too regrettable.
"Medical Ninja are very good."
"And in the future, Medical Ninja will also become the most important, even core, existence in a team."
"They don't conflict."
Roy said with a smile.
After the lessons of the Second Shinobi World War, Lady Tsunade had already submitted the idea of Medical Ninja joining combat units.
Roy also knew that it would definitely be implemented in the future.
"Medical Ninja joining combat units?"
"Indeed, if Lady Tsunade had been there this time, the front lines would have performed very well."
"But Roy, you should have a broader scope for development..."
"I'm afraid of death!"
Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, Roy directly interrupted him.
This guy's goal was Hokage, the inheritor of the will of fire.
Roy had no sense of belonging to Konoha, not even a little fondness.
Being a Medical Ninja was good enough, quietly developing in the rear, and then improving his strength.
These people simply didn't know how many crises were still lurking in the Ninja World.
Not to mention the distant ones, there was a powerful figure hidden in the shadows nearby.
The strongest existence of the Uchiha—Uchiha Madara!
"Afraid of death?"
"Roy... I..."
Minato didn't know what to say for a moment.
Everyone's pursuits and personalities are different, and Roy had his own choices; he had no right to interfere.
It was just a bit of a pity.
"Alright, I'm home."
"Sister Kushina said she's staying here tonight, so you can go home by yourself."
Roy entered the courtyard and closed the door directly.
Leaving Minato standing outside, somewhat bewildered.
"I didn't say I wasn't staying here either..."
Minato said blankly, then turned and left.
Inside the Hokage Office.
"Hokage-sama."
Minato appeared there.
Knowing that Minato had gone to Lady Tsunade's, an Anbu member had come to find him when he left.
"Minato, you completed this mission very well."
"Moreover, you prioritized the evacuation of your comrades and then successfully escaped yourself."
"Very good!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi began with a string of praises.
"It's all what I should do."
"Hokage-sama, is there an urgent mission for me so late?"
Minato asked with a serious expression.
He hadn't participated in the battle against Sunagakure.
Because he had other missions to execute.
And Minato also wanted to complete missions faster, establish his reputation, and improve his strength.
His goal was to become Hokage, someone who could protect Konoha.
"No mission."
"You should rest for a while, then consider things with Kushina."
"By the way, your teacher..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also mentioned Jiraiya.
"Teacher Jiraiya is still traveling outside, I heard he'll be back in a while."
Minato was a little confused.
Why was everyone asking about Jiraiya recently?
Could it be that the Village was facing some crisis?
"Okay, I understand."
"Minato, I think highly of you, keep it up."
"The future of Konoha needs young people like you to protect it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said cheerfully.
It must be said that this guy was very skilled with words.
"By the way, Hokage-sama, I met Lady Tsunade's disciple, Roy, today."
"His physique and talent are both very high, yet he only wants to become a Medical Ninja."
"If the Village can intervene, it should give him some opportunities for combat."
"His future will definitely not be that of an ordinary Medical Ninja."
Minato thought for a moment and still said these words.
"Roy?"
"I know, he is indeed a good talent."
"Minato, if you have the chance, you can talk to him more and guide him."
...After some casual small talk, Minato Namikaze left.
After he left, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became a little strange.
"Minato Namikaze... is also a good candidate."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then put the information about Minato Namikaze back into the drawer.
