It didn't take long before Nawaki was completely full and utterly satisfied. What he didn't know was that today's meal had been made by Xin. Tomorrow? Well, that was anyone's guess.
"Nawaki, you've got to finish all of it, okay? I went out of my way to buy it for you," Kushina said sternly, hands on her hips, ready to lecture.
"Also, next time, don't be so reckless! There are plenty of ways to save people. Don't risk your life like that again! Imagine how heartbroken Tsunade would be if you died!"
After hearing this, Nawaki, who had just settled in for a rest, plastered on a sheepish smile as he tried to assure her. "I'll be more careful next time, I promise..."
But as Kushina continued to scold him, Nawaki started giving Xin desperate looks, begging for rescue.
"Minato, didn't you have something you wanted to talk to me about?" Xin asked, stepping in to save him.
"Huh?" Minato blinked, confused for a moment, before quickly catching on. "Oh, yeah! I did. Let's go talk outside."
Seriously?! You're just going to leave me here to fend for myself?! Nawaki mentally screamed.
"Hahahaha..."
As soon as they left the room, both Xin and Minato burst into laughter, clutching their sides. Nawaki's helpless, pitiful expression was just too much.
Let him suffer a little. After all, running into a bomb to save someone is the kind of reckless behavior that deserves a bit of punishment. This would be a lesson-enduring Kushina's lectures would teach him a thing or two about being careful next time.
Xin was certain that after today, Nawaki would flinch at the sight of Kushina.
"You're not taking your team on a mission?" Minato asked, wiping away tears of laughter.
"I'm planning to take them out soon. They need to see the real world, face the harsh realities. Keeping them sheltered for too long... even if they grow, they won't be able to survive the storms ahead," Xin replied, stretching as he spoke.
"I'm thinking of taking them on a trip to the Land of Rain first, then maybe over to the Land of Iron. Let them witness the cruelty of war firsthand."
If you don't experience hardship, you can't truly grow. You need to see the storm before you can find the rainbow.
Minato clapped a hand on Xin's shoulder with a grin. "Careful you don't go overboard. Your team includes some high-profile individuals, you know."
