Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 15 Important People

As evening fell, as soon as Rope Tree returned home, he smelled an enticing fragrance filling the room.

He rushed into the house without waiting. In the kitchen, Minato was cooking, and Tsunade was cleaning up the food scraps. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

For some reason, Rope Tree had a strange feeling that his parents were cooking when he got home, which startled him so much that he quickly shook his head and shook the absurd thought out of his mind.

Tsunade is one thing, but as his elder sister, she has shown him all the tenderness she has had over the years, taking good care of him.

But what the hell is Minato?!

This guy is two years younger than me!

"Huh? Nawaki's back?"

Noticing that Nawaki had returned, Tsunade looked him up and down and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"oh…"

Suppressing the absurd thought in his mind, Nawaki said "Oh," and then looked curiously at Minato: "What is Minato doing? Why does it smell so good?"

"Chicken stew with mushrooms".

Minato didn't turn around, tilting his head to stare at the chicken in the pot: "It's a pity we don't have suitable mushrooms, the taste might be a little off..."

"Is this flavor bad? It smells so good..."

Rope Tree sniffed the air, and its stomach immediately rumbled.

Minato shook his head without saying anything. Chicken stew with mushrooms should use hazel mushrooms, but unfortunately he didn't see any for sale.

These mushrooms are mostly found in Northeast China. They look ordinary, but they taste extremely delicious and are highly nutritious.

After that, you could try using Wood Release to cultivate some fungi, as well as vegetables and fruits. No wonder the First Hokage recorded so many planting techniques on the scroll…

With the power of Wood Release, you can grow any vegetables and fruits you want on the spot, and even try to cultivate new varieties!

In theory, he could complete dozens or even hundreds of generations of hybridization in a single day, cultivating rice that is several meters tall, pumpkins the size of washbasins, and strawberry-flavored watermelons. It is not impossible for him to single-handedly rid the entire ninja world of famine!

Thinking of this, Minato couldn't help but chuckle.

Indeed, some genes are already etched deep into the soul...

"What are you laughing at?"

Tsunade noticed the smile on Minato's face and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking that we can cultivate some high-yield crops, or more delicious vegetables and fruits in the future."

The broth in the pot had thickened, so Shuimen turned up the heat and prepared to reduce the sauce before serving.

"Cultivating crops, huh..."

Tsunade paused slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

"As expected, you people who have mastered Wood Release all enjoy this kind of thing. But my grandfather prefers growing potted plants. Speaking of which, you two have very similar personalities, both gentle and sunny."

Upon hearing this, Minato paused for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled as if he had thought of something.

Tsunade was immediately puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

Minato quickly shook his head: "No, it's nothing..."

"real?"

"real!"

Seeing Minato nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice, Tsunade instinctively sensed something was wrong.

She immediately raised an eyebrow, clenched her fist, and made a cracking sound: "No, come out honestly!"

"Um…"

Noticing Tsunade's actions, Minato's face paled slightly: "Then I said, you can't hit me!"

"I'll try my best..."

Tsunade had a stern face, crossed her arms, highlighting her magnificent breasts, and impatiently tapped the floor with her left foot, giving off a "you'd better tell me or I'll make you regret it" vibe.

"Um...Tsunade-sensei."

Minato swallowed hard, and thinking about the suicidal act he was about to perform, he felt a strange sense of excitement and anticipation.

"Do I look like your grandfather?"

Boom!

No sooner had she finished speaking than Tsunade punched Minato on the head.

Then there was a loud bang, and the water gate in front of her turned into a wooden sculpture.

Wooden Substitute Technique!

"You brat..."

Tsunade's forehead creased with a 'well' shape as she turned to look at Minato at the kitchen doorway. Minato was holding a freshly cooked chicken soup in his arms, smiling sheepishly.

"You got there fast!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, served herself rice, and sat down at the table.

After washing his hands, Nawaki sat down next to Tsunade, picked up his chopsticks, and eagerly took a piece of chicken.

"Delicious! Whew..."

"Eat slowly, be careful it's hot."

Tsunade picked up a piece of chicken and ate it slowly and deliberately.

"Minato's cooking is amazing!"

Rope Tree ate while praising the food.

"well enough."

Minato smiled; he was quite happy to hear that his cooking skills had been recognized.

The head chef at the hotel where I worked in my previous life once said that he was very sensitive to seasoning and cooking time, and that he was born to do this job, but it was a pity that he didn't study to be a chef.

Minato has some interest in cooking, but it's limited to making things he likes to eat.

He and Tsunade share some similar tastes, but relatively speaking, he actually prefers spicy food.

"I'm so envious... Not only is he a natural talent for ninjutsu, but he's also a great cook, and to make matters worse, he's handsome."

Nawaki suddenly sighed, "My sister is right. You really are the strongest opponent on my path to becoming Hokage."

Seeing his composed and mature demeanor, Tsunade couldn't help but smile.

Minato chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm actually not that interested in the Hokage."

"Huh—?"

Rope Tree stared wide-eyed, looking like, "Really? I don't believe it!"

"That's the Hokage, you know!"

"Hmm...I know."

Minato nodded: "Actually, I don't have any grand life goals, nor do I have any reason to become stronger."

Actually, there are such people: Obito in the future, Madara Uchiha, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and even the Otsutsuki clan, but these are things that cannot be said.

"So what is your ideal?"

Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a little curious.

In Konoha, while there aren't a single boy who doesn't want to become Hokage, they are definitely a rare breed.

"ideal…"

Minato pondered for a few seconds: "Hmm...like living a peaceful and happy life, protecting the people who are important to me, and things like that?"

"Eh—"

Nawaki was speechless for a moment: "How boring! And is this even an ideal? It's a real waste that Wood Release is with you..."

"No, you're wrong, Nawaki. When Grandpa founded Konoha, he hoped that future generations could live such a life."

Tsunade smiled slightly and flicked Nawaki's head with her finger: "Ordinary is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps it's because Minato possesses some qualities that ordinary people don't have that he awakened Wood Release?"

"Special trait..."

Does using cheats count?

Minato couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"But speaking of which...while protecting the important people, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for some girl, would you?"

Tsunade had just finished lecturing Nawaki when she turned to Minato and raised an eyebrow, a playful smile in her eyes.

"No."

Minato shook his head: "Right now, the people I'm closest to are you, Sensei, and Nawaki. How can you not consider them important people?"

"Eh..."

The siblings paused upon hearing this, their faces flushing simultaneously. They exchanged a glance and saw the corners of each other's mouths turning up in uncontrollable smiles.

"Ah-soo-ga... Haha, soo-de-sne~"

Tsunade gave a dry laugh, but her heart was twisting like a maggot.

This child speaks so shyly, but she loves it!
