Perhaps spring was approaching, the season of revival.
While Obito and Rin Nohara walked together on Konoha's streets, in the barrier area, Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina were also walking together.
Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously, "Minato, that technique... I felt it was very similar to the Tailed Beast Ball the Nine-Tailed wanted to use. How did you develop it?"
Minato Namikaze replied, "I saw the Tailed Beast Ball used by a Jinchuriki on the battlefield, and I just referenced that... because I wanted to create a technique for you, Kushina, that could counter a Jinchuriki."
Minato Namikaze said to Uzumaki Kushina, showing off, "The name of this technique is 'Light Ring Popsicle Swirl Jiraiya Double Style Ball'!"
Uzumaki Kushina retorted, "So tacky! And the name is too long!"
Minato Namikaze, who didn't think the name was tacky at all, asked in confusion, "Is that so? I think it's fine..."
Uzumaki Kushina pointed to herself and asked, "It's a technique developed for me, right? If that's the case, can I name it?"
"I don't really care."
Minato Namikaze wasn't very concerned about the name of the technique; he just thought it sounded cool when he named it that way.
Uzumaki Kushina grabbed Minato Namikaze's hand: "Minato, come with me. I'll take you to a place where we can really let our minds wander."
Uzumaki Kushina pulled Minato Namikaze and ran forward.
Minato Namikaze, whose hand was being held, looked at Uzumaki Kushina's back, and his cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love.
Uzumaki Kushina brought Minato Namikaze to the top of the Spiral Tower.
Seeing the stunning scenery and the Hokage Rock that seemed within reach, Minato Namikaze exclaimed, "There's actually such a great place here!"
Minato Namikaze saw a butterfly fly past him, so he extended a finger, and the butterfly landed on his fingertip.
As the butterfly flew away, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly spoke, "Rasengan."
Minato Namikaze turned to look at Uzumaki Kushina: "Huh?"
"That's the name of the new technique... What do you think?"
Uzumaki Kushina asked Minato Namikaze with some nervousness.
"Rasengan..."
Under Uzumaki Kushina's expectant gaze, Minato Namikaze revealed a very sunny and gentle smile: "Hmm! A great name!"
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Minato Namikaze's smile and also genuinely broke into a happy smile.
...
Minato Namikaze followed Uzumaki Kushina to practice Sealing Techniques, and after a period of practice, Minato Namikaze went to perform a mission.
The mission of delivering food to Kamiyo, which was originally Minato Namikaze's, now fell to Obito and his team.
Then, not long after Minato Namikaze went on his mission, Kakashi and his two teammates also received a mission and went to perform it.
"Ugh... I'm so hungry. What's wrong with Obito and the others today? Why haven't they come yet?"
Kamiyo had been staying indoors all this time, tinkering with his puppets.
Now Kamiyo had completely lost track of time, unable to distinguish between day and night.
When he couldn't bear the exhaustion, he would sleep for a while, and when he woke up, he would continue working.
Kamiyo's puppet had already taken preliminary shape; the basic outline was done, and now it was time for detailing.
Just as Kamiyo was unbearably hungry, he pondered whether to endure a little longer or go out for a meal.
"I'll just endure a bit longer. After being hungry for a while, I won't be hungry anymore."
Just as Kamiyo was about to continue working, the door suddenly opened.
"You're finally here! I'm almost starving to death."
Kamiyo thought it was Obito and the others, but to his surprise, it was Uzumaki Kushina who appeared at the door.
"Eh? Kushina-neechan, why are you here?"
Uzumaki Kushina walked in, placed the food she was holding on the table, and said, "If I didn't come, with no Minato or Obito and his team to bring you food, I'd be afraid you'd starve to death here. Obito and his team have already gone on a mission. They told me, so there's no reason they wouldn't have told you."
Kamiyo thought back. When Obito and his team brought him food yesterday, they seemed to have mentioned going on a mission.
But because Kamiyo was fully focused on his work at the time, it went in one ear and out the other. He just perfunctorily agreed and didn't remember it at all.
Kamiyo scratched his head: "Oh, right, I forgot. But, Kushina-neechan, can you come out now?"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded: "Yes, I've made great progress while teaching Minato Sealing Techniques. Now the seal within me is very strong, and even outside the barrier area, I don't need to worry about the Nine-Tailed affecting the seal. However, I still need to observe for a period of time, so my time outside the barrier area is limited. When time's up, I have to return to the barrier area.
Looking at you, if Minato and the others don't bring you food, you won't eat until you're at your limit. From now on, I'll make food every day and bring it over to you."
Kamiyo stared blankly at Uzumaki Kushina for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "Kushina-neechan, why do I feel like you're being so nice to me?"
The next second, a bump appeared on Kamiyo's head.
"Get rid of the 'feel like'!" Uzumaki Kushina sat opposite Kamiyo and then said to him with a smile, "Perhaps it's because you, like me, came to Konoha alone from another Village, so I feel a kinship with you. Alright, hurry up and eat."
Kamiyo lowered the hand covering his head, opened the bento box, and began to eat.
Kamiyo, when he was quiet, was very quiet, but when he talked a lot, he really talked a lot, and he remembered food but not beatings.
Sure enough, Kamiyo couldn't control his mouth again: "Kushina-neechan, you should be a little gentler. Don't resort to violence so often. Look at Minato-sama, what a gentle person he is. You should really learn from him."
A vein already bulged on Uzumaki Kushina's forehead: "Eating can't even shut your mouth, can it?"
Feeling the signs of another beating, Kamiyo immediately shut up.
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Kamiyo's side.
Next to Kamiyo stood Kannazuki's bare body. Because Kamiyo hadn't made the skin yet, Kannazuki was currently just a humanoid figure made of Sand Iron.
Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously, "Is your puppet not finished yet?"
Kamiyo swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Not by a long shot. Many problems haven't been solved yet. For example, because Kannazuki is entirely composed of magnetic Sand Iron, I need to research a magnetic suppressor that doesn't affect Kannazuki's own magnetism, otherwise, this will happen during combat."
Kamiyo picked up a Kunai and tossed it into the air.
Suddenly, the Kunai was instantly attracted and attached to Kannazuki's body.
Kamiyo explained, "Strong magnetism will cause all metal to be attracted and attached to Kannazuki's body, which would be very fatal in combat, so the first thing to solve is this matter.
There are many other problems waiting for me to solve. Fortunately, I have the technological data Minato-sama brought me; otherwise, with my knowledge reserves at that time, I would have had to temporarily give up."
Kamiyo told Uzumaki Kushina about many of the problems he encountered. Uzumaki Kushina listened with a blank stare, completely unable to understand, and inexplicably started to get a headache.
After Kamiyo finished eating, Uzumaki Kushina took the empty bento box, threw out a quick 'I'll come back at mealtime tomorrow,' and then ran off directly.
Kamiyo shook his head and sighed, "Ah, so she's a bad student~ I was just casting pearls before swine."
