Chapter 262 Minato: Sometimes reacting too quickly isn't good either!
"Minato Namikaze!!!"
A deafening roar, brimming with chakra fury, exploded in the spacious, bright office, causing the windowpanes to vibrate under the strain.
The Third Hokage, who was standing by the window smoking, was startled by the sudden roar. Fortunately, he recognized the voice and waved his hand, causing the newly appeared Anbu to disappear again.
"what?"
Minato Namikaze, who had just completed the Flying Thunder God Technique, was startled by the sudden roar.
He subconsciously raised his head, his azure eyes filled with confusion.
Just a second before, when the golden flash dissipated, Konan, who had no experience adapting to space-time ninjutsu, finally couldn't withstand the intense dizziness that made the world spin.
Her originally cool face turned deathly pale in an instant, her legs went weak, and she fell forward uncontrollably.
As the man with the fastest reflexes in Konoha, Minato almost instinctively reached out and caught the blue-haired woman who was about to fall to the ground, pulling her half-into his arms.
This set of movements is fluid and seamless, executed in one go without any hesitation.
In any other place, this would be a textbook example of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
But the problem is that right now, sitting in this office is a dangerous individual who was just imagining the sweet daily routine of delivering meals after marriage, with a shy expression, and who is also known as the "Bloody Red Pepper".
Although this dangerous individual's reputation has improved a lot recently, it should be noted that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
"Ku...Kushina?"
Minato looked at his fiancée, who was sitting in his office chair with her red hair standing on end like a cat with its fur standing on end, and his brain briefly went blank.
"Let me explain..."
"I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Kushina suddenly stood up, her face, which had been flushed with shyness, now turned a deep liver color with anger.
Great! I've been waiting here patiently for you to get off work, brought you a lovingly prepared lunchbox, and even fantasized about our future!
And what did you do? Not only did you go out for a stroll during work hours, but you also brought back such a beautiful blue-haired woman using the Flying Thunder God Technique!
And what's more! They hugged each other as soon as they landed! So impatient?!
Absolutely unforgivable!
"Minato! You womanizing bastard! I...I'll beat you to death!"
Kushina's eyes instantly reddened, a mixture of grievance and anger causing her to completely lose her composure.
"boom!"
There were no hand seals, and no weapons were used.
With a sob in her voice, Kushina slammed her fist hard on the equally ergonomic desk.
"Snap—Splash!"
That high-end solid wood desk, specially supplied by the research institute, was as fragile as a biscuit in the face of the monstrous strength of the Uzumaki clan.
It shattered into pieces instantly; the documents, ink bottle, and the poor insulated box were all blown into the air and scattered on the ground like rain.
"Kushina! Calm down! She's Konan! I told you, she's from the Land of Rain..."
While shouting and trying to explain, Minato hurriedly pushed the still dizzy Minami in his arms to Nishikawa Tetsu, who was actually no longer dizzy but was pretending to be dizzy and watching the show. Then, he narrowly dodged a flying table leg with a body-flicker technique.
"I don't care where she's from!"
Kushina was no longer listening to any explanations at that moment.
Looking at the mess on the ground and then at Minato's flustered appearance, tears finally streamed down her face.
"You bastard Minato! I'm never talking to you again!"
After saying that, she stomped her foot, turned around, slammed open the office door, and rushed out.
"Kushina! Wait!"
Minato watched that heartbroken figure leave, his heart aching with pain.
He didn't even care about the important confidential documents scattered on the ground; without hesitation, he transformed into a golden light and chased after them.
"I'm skipping this shift! Che, I'm leaving this to you. Please ask for leave for me!"
Only the urgent sound of the water gate remained in the air.
……
"Well……"
Nishikawa Tetsu, supporting the still nauseous Minami, looked at the office that had become ruins and the broken door that was still swaying in the wind, and smiled happily.
"As expected of Minato, his reaction speed is truly astonishing."
Nishikawa Tetsu sighed sincerely.
He was completely dizzy just now, and by the time he came to his senses, Konan had already collapsed into Minato's arms. The next second, the office erupted in chaos.
The entire process takes no more than three seconds.
"Is this...the kind of Konoha where people are simple and honest?"
Xiao Nan finally recovered a little. Her face was pale as she pushed Nishikawa Tetsu away. Looking at the broken wood on the ground and the ink all over the walls, her clear eyes were filled with great confusion.
"I've heard that Konoha ninjas are very enthusiastic, but isn't this way of expressing enthusiasm a bit too violent?"
Moreover, that red-haired woman looks so familiar, she seems to be... Minato's fiancée, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina?
"Ahem... This was an accident, Minami."
Nishikawa Tetsu awkwardly touched his nose, looking with some sympathy in the direction where Minato had disappeared.
"Um... that was Minato's fiancée. She might... well, have slightly misunderstood the physical contact between you two. Girls are always more sensitive in certain ways."
"Misunderstand?"
Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then understood. She recalled the moment she collapsed into Minato's arms, and a rare blush appeared on her usually pale face.
"This...this is so embarrassing, I have to explain it to her."
"Don't go."
Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand, pointed to the mess on the ground, and sighed.
"Your going will only make things worse. Going to explain now will just add fuel to the fire. Minato brought this trouble upon himself; let him deal with it himself. With his eloquence and emotional intelligence, he shouldn't... die."
"Let's deal with this mess first."
Nishikawa Tetsu walked into the ruins and tenderly picked up a piece of ergonomic chair wreckage that had been broken in two.
"This chair was a limited edition that I specially ordered from the research institute... It cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now it's completely ruined."
"This young couple treated me to a free gift out of pure kindness; this debt must be settled with Minato!"
Nishikawa Tetsu said through gritted teeth.
Why isn't it attributed to Kushina?
Cough cough, he's not Minato, he can't withstand the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.
Besides, isn't it only right for him to take the blame for his girlfriend? I don't think Minato would have any objections!
Then, he glanced at Xiao Nan, who looked somewhat uneasy.
"Let's go, Minami, I'll take you to settle in first. We'll officially start working tomorrow after Minato calms down that big, fuming cat at home."
"Today, let's welcome you and show you the local customs and culture of Konoha."
Xiao Nan looked at the messy office and shook her head helplessly.
"The people of Konoha... don't seem as friendly as Jiraiya-sensei said."
