Chapter 11 Kushina Recognizes Her Body (Ch 11)

He was not surprised to see Takehiko Namikaze Minato, after all, he liked to eat Ichiraku Ramen just like his future protagonist son.

However, Yue Yan did not expect that even Kushina would follow Minato today. Logically speaking, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she should be surrounded by Anbu surveillance at all times, but he did not even notice it.

Thinking of this, even Yue Yan couldn’t help but laugh at himself in his heart. With such little strength, he wanted to sense the elite Anbu. But speaking of it, shouldn’t he develop a perception ninjutsu? In this way, he would have more time to respond in the future battles.

Although he thought this in his heart, Yue Yan still respectfully called “Lord Minato”.

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze smiled gently and waved his hand.

“It’s Yue Yan. I haven’t seen you in the vegetable market for a long time.”

Although Namikaze Minato was Jiraiya’s disciple and was also highly regarded by the third generation Yuan Fei, he was a civilian ninja and would naturally have met Yue Yan, who had worked in the vegetable market for a long time, when he went shopping for groceries. After a few interactions, it was not wrong to say that they knew each other.

Before Yue Yan could say anything, the carefree Kushina curiously approached Yue Yan and pinched Yue Yan’s face with both hands, squeezing and pinching it.

“Hey, what a cute little girl.”

“I am a boy.”

As for gender, even though he is used to being recognized as a girl, Yue Yan still wants to argue.

However, Kushina ignored what Yue Yan was saying. She used brute force to suppress Yue Yan’s struggle and began to look at him carefully.

“Really? I don’t believe it. She’s so cute.”

While speaking, Kushina’s peripheral vision was also observing the single ponytail that Yue Yan had tied for ease of movement, and her attention was focused on the hint of red at the end of her hair.

After learning from the third generation Yuan Fei that Yue Yan’s ancestors might be from the Uzumaki clan, Kushina wanted to come and see. However, Kushina had never met Yue Yan, and only Namikaze Minato was familiar with Yue Yan. After Minato finished his mission, Kushina took Minato to find Yue Yan.

After all, since the death of Uzumaki Mito, she was the only member of the Uzumaki clan she knew. For her, who longed for clan members, it would be perfect if Yue Yan was really a member of the Uzumaki clan.

However, no matter how Kushina looked, she could not see any features that matched those of the Uzumaki clan except for the red at the end of Yue Yan’s hair. As for chakra, in her perception, Yue Yan’s chakra that could surprise Aunt Xia Shu was just that.

Kushina loosened her hand and gave Minato a calm look, indicating that he should ask.

Seeing this, Minato showed a helpless smile, but still asked Yue Yan indirectly.

“I’ve been curious before, Yue Yan, do you like red?”

Hearing this, Yue Yan blinked in confusion, not understanding why Minato, who was known as the warmest man in Hokage, would ask such a question.

Recalling the original work, it seemed that after Minato said that he liked red-haired girls, Yue Yan felt a chill and subconsciously protected his chest with his hands, looking alert.

Seeing Yue Yan’s reaction, Minato was a little confused.

“What’s wrong? I just noticed that you only have a hint of red at the ends of your hair. I wanted to ask if you dyed it on purpose. Why do you look like this?”

After staring at Minato’s sincere eyes for a long time, Yue Yan was sure that Minato was not a pervert, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indifferently: “This is natural. Even if I cut the red part, the hair at the end will turn red after a while.”

“I see.”

Minato nodded and looked at Kushina, asking her with his eyes if she was sure that Yue Yan was from the Uzumaki clan, but Kushina shook her head, saying that she couldn’t be sure and needed to test more.

Noticing this, Minato scratched his head. If he was still not sure, he could only experiment with vitality. But he couldn’t find a reason to beat Yue Yan up. Yue Yan would think that the two of them were testing him, which would always leave a very bad impression.

Just when Minato was in trouble, the store manager brought the ramen that Yue Yan ordered.

Seeing that his ramen was ready, Yue Yan thanked him and wanted to take the chopsticks on the table. However, the chopsticks in the disposable chopstick bucket on his side were gone, so he could only use those from other seats.

Yue Yan didn’t think much about this. Considering that the warm-hearted Minato was sitting next to him, he also asked: “Lord Minato, I’m out of chopsticks. Can you help me get a pair?”

Hearing this, Minato’s eyes lit up and he thought to himself that the opportunity for testing had come.

Today’s disposable chopsticks are still the square chopsticks carved out of wood. Although the edges are not sharp, in the hands of a ninja of Minato’s level, killing people is easy if used properly. What’s more, to test the recovery ability, you only need to make a small cut.

Minato kept a gentle smile on his face, picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Yue Yan. Just as Yue Yan took them, Minato quickly manipulated his chakra to shake the chopsticks, cutting a very small cut on Yue Yan’s finger.

Seeing Yue Yan subconsciously withdraw his hand due to pain, Minato smiled apologetically and said with concern: “Sorry, Yue Yan, are you okay?”

Hearing this, Yue Yan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

“The chopstick may not have been sharpened properly, and it got scratched by the barbs on the edge.”

Yue Yan is not stupid. He has already noticed something from Minato’s unnatural words and behavior. Together with Kushina’s undisguised expectant look beside him, he has guessed that these two suspect that he might be a member of the Uzumaki clan, and all the things that happened before were tests by them.

Yue Yan was speechless about this, and complained in his heart why couldn’t he just say it directly, why did he have to be so sneaky? Even though this was a common problem for the ninja profession, how could someone as sunny as Minato not avoid it?

Yue Yan had never thought about this before. Even if Minato and Kushina asked him in person whether he was a member of the Uzumaki clan, he would just say with a confused look on his face that he was not.

The red color at the end of his hair is purely coincidental. As for his huge vitality and chakra, they are the result of his super-shinigami physique and long-term consumption of energy cubes.

But then again, if Kushina admitted that she was a member of the Uzumaki clan, given her personality, she would definitely share the clan’s treasured sealing techniques with her if she knew that she was a member of the Uzumaki clan.

When he thought that the most flawed ninjutsu in the world was the sealing technique, and that even someone as powerful as Kaguya, the ancestor of chakra, and even the god of death, were sealed or part of the sealing technique, Yue Yan felt that he needed to obtain the sealing technique. Although using Minato and Kushina might not be a good idea, it didn’t matter.

After thinking it through, Yue Yan generously showed his cut finger.

Under the expectant gaze of Minato and Kushina, within a few seconds, the wound on Yue Yan’s finger healed. Either the bleeding stopped, or even the skin was completely healed.

In addition to using medical ninjutsu to recover, only the Uzumaki clan can have such powerful recovery ability. This also made Kushina finally confirm that Yue Yan is a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Kushina was so excited that she was about to accept Yue Yan as a member of the clan, but Minato stopped her by holding her shoulders and shaking his head. The meaning was simple: it was too presumptuous to rush into contact with him now, as it would appear that we are being deliberate and would disgust Yue Yan, a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Seeing this, Kushina suppressed her excitement, but she secretly decided in her heart that she must protect Yue Yan, her only clansman in this world. She would go to the Third Hokage later and ask him to hand over all the Uzumaki clan’s sealing techniques to Yue Yan.

As for the Third Hokage’s refusal to give it to her, Kushina said that the Third Hokage’s beard could be forgotten, as she would pull them all off and then burn down the Hokage Building.
