A Warrior's Path

Chapter 79

All of them found it hard to suppress their emotions, after all a legend was standing before them. Just when they thought the surprise was over, Ryu dropped another one.

Ryu " Ah! They are also Naruto"s parents."

**BANG**

Another explosion happened within their minds. Shikamaru thought " That"s shocking, how could someone like him get a son like Naruto."

Neji was also shocked, but he calmed down pretty fast. Rather than focusing on whose parent they were, he focused on Minato"s strength.

Tenten looked at Minato with reverence, she yearned to become strong. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn"t catch upto Neji and the others.

Hinata on the other hand was nervous for an entirely different reason " Naruto"s parents!! Will they like me? What if they don"t? What should I do?... "

Minato and Kushina didn"t bother with their expressions, they scanned the two girls to see which one would be their daughter in law.

The instant both of them saw Hinata, they knew it was her. They felt proud seeing how their son bagged a beauty.

Minato thought " A Hyuuga, and she seems strong as well. Moreover she is a beauty. Way to go son."

Kushina " Cuuuuuute!! Hahaha, my son got a beautiful girlfriend. I bet their kids would be beautiful as well."

Ryu"s face twitched when he saw how both of them focused on Hinata. This only embarra.s.sed her even more.

Shikamaru was the first one to ask " How are they alive? I heard from my dad what happened! "

Ryu responded " To begin with, they didn"t die. Their injuries were very severe,so I placed them near here to heal. Usually an Anbu would be here to protect them but their wounds healed faster than I thought, so I went to fetch them."

Shikamaru knew Ryu was lying but he couldn"t point out where, also he was too lazy to care.

Kushina walked upto Hinata, she smiled gently and said " h.e.l.lo, nice to meet you."

Hinata was nervous " Hel.... h.e.l.lo."

Kushina couldn"t hold on, she suddenly hugged Hinata " Kyaaah, you are sooo cute!! "

Ryu staggered " The heck!! couldn"t she atleast try to act normal. "

Minato smiled wryly. He introduced himself to others. At first, Neji and others were stiff around Minato, but they relaxed after seeing how easygoing he was.

Kushina personally trained Hinata, sparing her from Ryu"s brutal training. When Kushina saw how Ryu trained the others, her expression darkened, her hair flared up as she asked Ryu

" Ryu! did you train Hinata like that as well? "

Ryu was sweating bullets when he heard Kushina, if he nods then he is in for a beating. But he still kept his poker face and replied.


" Nee san, Hinata is different. You know who she will be in the future, her life may be put in tremendous danger. So this is necessary."

Kushina pondered for a bit, she then snorted and left. Ryu"s back was covered in sweat " Whoa! dodged that one. Gotta give it to Minato for enduring her."

Ryu looked towards Minato and gave a thumps up. Minato watched the whole scenario. When he saw Ryu giving him a thumps up, he nearly fell down.

As training progressed Minato was astonished. He saw Tenten using storage scrolls, there was only one word in his mind " Genius ".

Minato walked towards them " Ryu, mind if I ask you something? "

Ryu smiled cheekily " It"s about Tenten, right? "

Minato nodded " Her affinity towards s.p.a.ce is not inferior to me. If you agree, can I take her as my student. "

Ryu shrugged " Ask her yourself, if she agrees then go ahead."

Minato was delighted, he went forward to Tenten " Tenten, would you like to be my student. You have the same affinity as me, s.p.a.ce. So are you willing? "

Neji and Shikamaru"s eyes nearly dropped from their face. This was the fourth Hokage, Dubbed " YELLOW FLASH ". And now this man wanted Tenten as his student, so yeah they were shocked to their cores.

Tenten stood there in a daze, she snapped out a few seconds later and asked " Lord fourth, why would you ask me? "

Minato " You can use storage scrolls with such ease that it"s like a muscle memory to you. That"s not possible unless you have a high affinity towards s.p.a.ce element.

My techniques are mostly centered on one single s.p.a.ce technique. I believe you can really become Strong, maybe even surpa.s.s me."

Tenten was excited, the fourth Hokage himself acknowledged her. She didn"t think further and bowed.

" Please instruct me, SENSEI!! "

Neji was a bit jealous but that"s all. He has changed a lot over the year they spend together. He was happy for Tenten. As for Shikamaru, he too was happy for her.

Ryu interrupted them " Shall we continue? "

Neji and Shikamaru shivered.

Three years later, Konoha Entrance Gate

A group consisting of seven members suddenly appeared. All of them looked towards the village with emotion. It"s been four years since they left. A lot had happened during this time but still there is no better place than home.

Minato spoke " Sixteen years... *sigh*"

Kushina on the other hand was excited, all these years she could only watch Naruto from afar. She couldn"t hold her son in her arms, this was like torture for her. But today it all ends. She can finally reunite with her son.

The eternal gate guards were sh.e.l.l shocked when they saw Minato and Kushina. They would never forget Minato, he is a hero in this village and of course the red devil, who would forget her once they know her.

The team casually strolled inside, along the way everyone looked at them, whispering. When they finally reached Hokage"s office, a crowd was behind them.

A women with light blonde hair with huge a.s.sets was waiting for them.

Inside Hokage office,

Sarutobi had already retired, now Tsunade was the fifth Hokage. She was overwhelmed when she heard Anbu report about Minato and Kushina. Sarutobi was also present. h.e.l.l, he nearly had a heart attack when he received this info.

Tsunade looked towards Minato and Kushina with suspicion. She knew what happened that day, she wasn"t there personally but she knew the details perfectly.

Tsunade asked with a plain tone " Care to explain how you are alive? "

Minato scratched his head, he said " Hahaha, Ask Ryu, he can explain everything."

Sarutobi eyed Ryu, he spoke in an irritated tone " I knew you had some hand in this. F**CK kid, you trying to kill me!!. I nearly had a stroke. "

Ryu just shrugged, he used the same explanation he told Minato. Sarutobi and Tsunade looked at each other, they forced out a smile.

" This brat is still holding things back! * SIGH * Anyway, let it be. He wouldn"t harm the village "

Later that day, Tsunade announced Minato"s return to the village. Everyone celebrated except Minato"s enemies. They shivered when they heard he was alive.
