Chapter 56 Kushina's explosive keywords

Minazuki Yuuki was jealous of Itachi's talent, so he kept blocking Itachi's promotion to Chunin and pretended to be Itachi's good friend.

To participate in the Chunin Exams, the team leader, a Jonin, must "recommend" the team in his own name, and then the team members must sign the application form.

If a Jonin leading a team wants to trap a Genin, then there's nothing that can be done.

Itachi was ultimately killed because Danzo wanted to use him as a pawn, so he sent someone to investigate Itachi's team leader, Jonin, and discovered that he was a narrow-minded person.

Immediately afterwards, Danzo suggested to Hiruzen Sarutobi that Itachi be promoted exceptionally, without going through the usual procedures.

"You must be Uchiha Kiyoshi. I hope you won't be like the other Uchiha and become disobedient."

Mizuki Yuuki glanced at Kiyoshi, clearly having a negative impression of the Uchiha clan.

Kiyoshi nodded slightly, without saying anything.

Seeing this, Mizuki Yuuki had the others briefly explain the situation before leading Kiyoshi and the others to accept the mission.

Genin can only accept D-rank and C-rank missions, and they usually start with D-rank.

Rank D missions do not involve combat; they usually involve doing odd jobs.

Yuuki Minazuki's task is to help out at the shop.

Kiyoshi and his two companions were responsible for cleaning and shopping, while Minazuki Yuuki was responsible for repairing the leaky roof.

"This is the mission."

Sarutobi Asuma went from being excited at the beginning to being utterly bored now.

"The initial missions definitely won't involve fighting ninjas."

Kurenai looked at the books on the bookshelf, and occasionally, when she saw something that interested her, she would take it out and flip through a few pages.

This is a bookstore that sells mostly bestselling books for young adults.

"We have guests."

Kiyoshi said.

In his opinion, this task was much better than finding a lost pet or helping to babysit children.

When you have free time, you can sit and flip through ninjutsu scrolls.

"Oh, it's you."

A red-haired girl was coming towards us, with a hair clip in her red hair.

"Kushina."

Kiyoshi put down the Fire Release scroll and greeted Kushina.

This shop is located in a fairly central location in the village, right inside the sealing barrier that binds Kushina.

"You work here?"

A familiar figure walked towards me, her red hair shimmering slightly in the sunlight, a hair clip tucked into her hair, and a hint of weariness in her eyes.

"No, I'm on a mission."

Kiyoshi pointed to the ninja headband on his forehead and said:

"I'm already a ninja, and I'm here on a mission."

"Kiyoshi, I didn't realize you were such a genius."

Kushina clenched her small fists and waved them in the air, seemingly trying to show off her strength.

"Is Kushina here to buy any books?"

Kiyoshi chuckled softly and walked to the door.

"Hmm, I've been a bit bored lately, so I thought I'd come see if there's anything interesting to see."

Kushina stopped waving her little fist, and disappointment was visibly shown on her beautiful face.

She could only move within the sealed barrier every day, which made her feel suffocated.

Especially lately, Minato has been extremely busy and has less and less time to spend with her, making her feel like she's been forgotten.

"Come in and choose."

Kiyoshi led Kushina to the section for the new book launches, allowing her to choose.

Kushina frowned slightly, resting her chin on her hand, looking conflicted.

"This one is good."

Kiyoshi pulled a beautifully illustrated book from the shelf. The cover was covered with colorful illustrations, making it very appealing.

In the original work, Kushina doesn't seem to have much interest in reading.

Naruto inherited Kushina's personality completely, and Naruto doesn't like reading.

Kiyoshi didn't think that Kushina, whose gaze was wandering and who was probably just looking for something to do to pass the time, would enjoy reading.

"So many paintings."

Kushina opened it and found it was like a comic book, with very little text and mostly illustrations.

"Then I'll take this one."

She looked up and shook the book in her hand.

"it is good."

Kiyoshi nodded and packed the books into a bag.

When I handed the bag to Kushina, a notification appeared on the entry panel.

"You have acquired a new entry: [Entry: The Legendary Nine-Tailed Fox (White)]".

[Entry: The legendary nine-tailed fox (white)]

[Requirement fulfilled: Initial physical contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.]

Progress: 10%.

[Effect: Enhances the vitality of physical cells, increasing chakra's ability to heal from injuries by 5%.]

[Note: Further advanced techniques are available.]

Does touching with your fingers count?

Kiyoshi looked thoughtfully at Kushina, who was carrying a bag.

My finger accidentally touched Kushina's hand, and the entry panel reacted.

"Kushina, this is my first successful transaction. Thank you."

Kiyoshi suddenly grasped Kushina's hands with both of them, as if he were very happy.

"Ah...is that so?"

Kushina didn't think much of it.

Kiyoshi's handshake lasted too long.

Just as Kushina was about to ask if she should let go, Kiyoshi finally lowered his hand.

"Who is that person?"

Sarutobi Asuma turned his head and watched Kiyoshi shake hands and talk with a red-haired woman.

He felt that the other person's red hair looked familiar, as if he had heard his father mention it before.

"I don't know him."

Yuhi Hong shook her head.

The Uchiha clan members all have black hair, which means this woman is not from the Uchiha clan.

"Thank you, you've been a great help."

The shop owner, who had been out for almost a whole day, finally returned to the shop, and Minazuki Yuuki had also fixed the leaky roof.

"In that case, mission accomplished, let's go back."

Yuuki Minazuki wiped the wet spots off his body and saw Kiyoshi and Kushina.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi..."

Mizuki Yuuki frowned slightly.

He remembered that the woman's name was Uzumaki Kushina. She was a descendant of the Uzumaki clan who had fled to the Uzumaki region. She seemed to have little contact with outsiders. He had only seen Minato Namikaze look for Uzumaki Kushina.

However, this woman's appearance did indeed match his aesthetic standards.

"Are the Uchiha clan really that popular?"

A feeling of jealousy rose within Mizuki Yuuki.

"Uchiha Kiyoshi, we should go back and hand over the mission. Let's not waste any more time."

Minazuki Yuuki tidied his messy hair, which had been soaked by water, and walked over with what he thought was a handsome smile.

"Hello, I am Minazuki Yuuki."

"Oh, hello."

Kushina nodded, feeling very strange. This man had a nice name, but his appearance was really not that great.

"Kiyoshi, weren't you supposed to be handing over your mission? I'll be going now."

Kushina didn't want to have too much contact with outsiders, and the Konoha leadership wouldn't allow it either.

She only approached Kiyoshi because they had similar experiences; otherwise, she wouldn't have had so much free time.

After saying that, Kushina quickly paid and left with the bag of books.

She has also carried out missions.

However, this was before he became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

After becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, she not only couldn't go out freely, but also had to constantly worry about the Nine-Tails' bewitching influence within her.

Mizuki Yuuki's expression was somewhat uncertain.

She glanced at Kiyoshi, her lips moved, but she said nothing.

He really wouldn't dare to openly oppose the Uchiha clan.
