That is, it is accompanied by sweating and becomes sticky.

There was an unbearable feeling.

This happens every time she shakes hands with Kiyoshi, and she doesn't understand what's wrong with her.

"Kushina, this is... love."

Kakashi turned to a page in the book, where it was clearly written about the meaning of love.

"When you see someone and your heart skips a beat, it's a sign of destiny."

Kakashi's tone became enigmatic.

The more naive a person is in matters of the heart, the more composed and strategic they appear when guiding others.

Even if they were to put it into practice themselves, they would fail miserably.

"Destiny?"

Kushina repeatedly chewed on the word "fate".

The shrine maiden also told her the same thing.

She said that Qing Sihui was her destined partner.

What is a destined partner?

That is the spouse you are destined to be with.

"I understand, Kakashi."

Kushina waved and walked back alone.

Before long, she returned to her tent.

Regarding her training with the "Rasengan," Kushina was able to maintain a certain amount of chakra released and materialize it, even breaking a ball a hundred times stronger than a balloon.

A swirling chakra could be condensed in her hand.

However, it cannot maintain a circular shape and can currently only cause low-level damage, leaving marks only on the surface of soil and tree trunks.

Once you've fully mastered the "Rasengan," you'll be able to easily create deep craters in the ground and pierce through tree trunks.

"It's getting a bit hot."

Kushina licked the corner of her mouth.

Every time she saw Kiyoshi, she would feel very dehydrated and hot.

Kushina drank a cup of water and then went out to take a bath.

After taking a shower, I found myself still feeling a bit hot.

hum...

The piercing sound of chakra rang out one after another.

Feeling a bit confused, Kushina decided to continue her training to distract herself.

Possessing the chakra of the Nine-Tails and the immense vitality of the Uzumaki clan, she is so energetic that she can train for a long time, using more time to strengthen herself.

"Kushina."

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

Kushina subconsciously turned around and saw Minato Namikaze, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Minato, what are you doing here?"

Kushina asked, puzzled.

Why is Minato Namikaze here when he wasn't on another battlefield?

"I was passing by, so I used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to come and see you."

Namikaze Minato explained.

His gaze fell on the half-finished "Rasengan" in Kushina's hand, and his pupils contracted.

"Are you... learning the 'Rasengan'?"

"Yes, that's what Kiyoshi taught me."

Kushina held up the half-finished "Rasengan" in her hand.

A piercing sound, like the wind cutting through something, came from above.

"Kiyoshi said he taught me this technique to protect me, and that you created it by imitating the 'Tailed Beast Ball.'"

The easygoing Kushina spoke her mind.

"What? Kiyoshi can use the Rasengan too?"

This time, it was Minato Namikaze's turn to be puzzled.

He clearly never taught Kiyoshi this ninjutsu.

Could it be that the Sharingan was used to make the copy?

Minato Namikaze knew a little about the functions of the Sharingan; the deeper the eye power, the more likely one was to copy and replicate the ninjutsu of other ninjas.

"He... must have thought the same thing as me."

After a long pause, Minato Namikaze shook his head.

Since Kiyoshi was able to see that it was a secondary creation based on the principle of the "Tailed Beast Ball," and having frequently come into contact with many tailed beasts, there was no reason why Kiyoshi couldn't have thought of this.

As the saying goes, great minds think alike. Kiyoshi's idea just happened to coincide with his, except that he created it first. Therefore, Kiyoshi named it "Rasengan".

"Maybe."

Kushina spoke.

"I originally intended to teach you this ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze said with a bitter expression.

Unfortunately, he was always too busy, and Kushina could only stay in the barrier, unable to even go to a proper training place.

It is a sealing technique that can only be practiced briefly without affecting the surrounding environment.

Moreover, Kiyoshi said what he wanted to say.

He created this ninjutsu specifically to protect Kushina.

"It's alright, Minato, you can teach me now."

Kushina's eyes lit up.

With both Minato Namikaze and Kiyoshi teaching her at the same time, wouldn't she learn even faster?

"No, Kushina, I have to go."

Minato Namikaze apologized.

To pave the way for him, Hiruzen Sarutobi arranged many tasks for him.

One thing leads to another, and Minato Namikaze just can't stop.

In these extraordinary times, whether he becomes Hokage or not is not the most important thing; the most important thing is not to cause any harm to the village.

This is the true meaning of the "Will of Fire": ninjas must protect the village at all times.

The village is the option that comes first in the list of everything else.

"Ok."

Kushina said disappointedly.

Watergate is always like this, no one knows what he's busy with all day long.

Despite being the fastest ninja in the ninja world, he still didn't have much time to spend with her.

No wonder... the shrine maiden said that Kiyoshi was her destined soulmate.

Kiyoshi simply has far more time than Minato Namikaze, so he naturally has more time to spend with her.

"Kushina, I'll come see you again next time."

Minato Namikaze waved his hand, and then vanished without a trace.

Kushina sighed and lowered her head to maintain the chakra in her hands.

……

Sand Hidden Village.

"It is said that the Iwagakure faction has sent reinforcements to Konoha. Should we also send reinforcements?"

Luo Sha said in a deep voice.

Konoha is now an ally of Sunagakure, and Sunagakure is on the verge of collapse.

The conflict between Kirigakure and Sunagakure is very sharp, and some high-ranking ninjas have even proposed the idea of ​​peace talks.

However, Kirigakure has consistently emphasized that Sunagakure needs to show sincerity.

Luo Sha didn't know what constituted sincerity.

"Send them over there; building good relations with Konoha is the best course of action."

Ebizo spoke up.

Beside him were his older sister Chiyo, and a row of advisors and elders including Fujijuro.

Although the Kazekage is the ruler of Sunagakure, he is subject to their checks and balances and cannot be a complete dictator.

These advisors and elders are all veteran ninjas who have retired from the front lines.

They are also representatives of the various tribes that make up the village, and Rasa cannot ignore them and make decisions on his own.

The weekly report meeting is, in fact, a meeting for communication between the Wind Shadow and the elders.

“The village is currently facing a shortage of young and old people, so we really need to think more about the future.”

Tojuro said.

Despite his muscle atrophy and the fact that his hair and beard have turned completely white, his eyesight has not declined at all, and he remains active on the front lines. He is an old hero as solid as a giant rock.

"Then send Ye Cang."

Chiyo spoke.

Her son and daughter-in-law both died at the hands of Konoha ninja Sakumo Hatake, so she had a very bad impression of Konoha.

But these are extraordinary times, and we cannot act on emotion.

Apart from that, the other advisors and elders did not object.

Seeing this, Rasa summoned Yekura and ordered him to lead a force to support Konoha.

Once the fighting in Konoha eases, we can come to their aid.

Both are interdependent; if one is gone, the other will be in danger.

"I go?"

Ye Cang paused for a moment, then looked up, two thin strands of hair hanging down her cheeks swaying.

Her face, framed by orange hair, looked fair and youthful, especially her beautiful back revealed by the sleeveless top, which was visibly delicate.

"Please, Yekura."

Luo Sha said in a deep voice.

Yekura and Kiyoshi have met before, so their relationship seems to be alright.

It is said that Uchiha Kiyoshi was also at that camp, and his reputation is growing, making him a strong candidate for the next Hokage.

If Yekura can cultivate a good relationship with him, the alliance between Sunagakure and Konoha will become even stronger.

Post-war Sunagakure needs Konoha to rebuild more quickly and restore its economy.

The Land of Wind is a country that relies on imports, especially food, which it depends on imports from other countries.

During the war, food prices soared, causing immense suffering to the people of the Wind Kingdom.

"……Yes."
