Chapter 103 Showing off is not a good habit

Wow~
The barrier covering the Mito family dissipated. Under the anxious gaze of the Third Hokage and his party, several people walked out of the room talking and laughing. Looking at them, Mito said, "Minato and Kushina's sealing technique was very successful. Unless I wish, the power of the Nine-Tails will no longer be able to affect my chakra."

After getting Mito's affirmation, all the Konoha high-level officials present smiled, especially the Third Hokage. Seeing that Konoha had such outstanding successors, he, the Hokage, couldn't stop smiling!
"Hahaha! Minato, you really did a great thing this time! Just tell me what reward you want. As long as it is something I can do, I will do my best to meet your requirements!" The third generation said with a smile.

The Konoha elders beside him also looked at Minato kindly, and all regarded Minato as their hope for the future.

If they knew that Rope Tree had just briefly suppressed the Nine-Tails in the sealed space, they would probably be so shocked that they wouldn't be able to speak.

"Um, there's nothing I want..." Minato smiled shyly. Facing so many Konoha high-ranking officials at once, he was somewhat nervous.

Seeing that everyone was praising Minato and no one was paying attention to him, Rope Tree immediately showed an unhappy expression. Tsunade, who had been paying attention to him, immediately noticed Rope Tree's expression and smiled and said, "How did Rope Tree perform this time? Wood Release is the nemesis of all tailed beasts. I think Rope Tree must have protected grandma well this time, right?"

Speaking of Wood Release, everyone turned their eyes to Nawaki, waiting for his answer.

As for Zhang Shan, everyone only knew that he was very talented in scientific research, but even the Third Hokage did not know his true combat power, so he was ignored by everyone.

Seeing this, Rope Tree knew it was time for him to show off, so he cleared his throat and said proudly, "That's right! I'm the main force in this battle with the Nine-Tails! With just one move of entanglement and Rasengan, the Nine-Tails can no longer rise!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Just as they were about to ask for details, Zhang Shan said, "Yes, if it weren't for Grandma Mito's Diamond Seal, you would have been killed by the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Sheng Shu was instantly embarrassed and said with a bitter face: "Master! Don't talk about this at this time!"

When the people nearby saw this, they all showed an expression of understanding, praised Nawaki a bit, and then turned the topic to Minato and Kushina, asking them about the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Minato answered all the questions without hesitation, and expressed his willingness to pass on the Eight Trigrams Seal to Konoha, which made the third generation people smile even more!
After all the Konoha leaders left, they were sitting in the room enjoying herbal tea. Rope Tree said to Zhang Shan with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Master, why didn't you let me show off just now! It was obviously me who suppressed the Nine-Tails!"

"What? You suppressed the Nine-Tails by yourself?" Kushina put down the red bean soup in her hand, looked at Nawaki with disbelief, then looked at Zhang Shan, and finally set her eyes on Mito.

Mito smiled and nodded, "Well, it was indeed Nawaki who unilaterally suppressed the Nine-Tails at the beginning, but we were able to remain safe and sound in the end, thanks to Xiaoshan's barrier technique."

Then, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Shan. Whether it was Sheng Shu's doubts or what Mito said, Zhang Shan needed to answer them.

Zhang Shan, however, drank his herbal tea leisurely. It took him a long time to speak. He first said to Sheng Shu, "Showing off is not a good habit. I can't accept it."

Rope Tree: I was suddenly educated...

Then Zhang Shan smiled and said to the others, "As for the barrier that protected us in the end, you all know that I know a little bit about defense. I was lucky enough to block the aftermath this time."

Kushina breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhang Shan say that he had luckily resisted the aftermath, but Minato, who knew Zhang Shan well, instantly realized that Zhang Shan must have made some big noise, otherwise Mito would not have mentioned it specifically.

"When you have time later, ask Zhang Shan or Sheng Shu."

Just as Minato was thinking, Zhang Shan asked again: "By the way, Minato, give me a copy of the Eight Diagrams Seal."

"Oh, okay." Minato nodded and agreed readily.

Although it is a bit troublesome to copy, I have to copy one copy for Konoha anyway, so it doesn't matter if I copy one more copy.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Shan got up and went home.

I have a lovely wife waiting for me at home, how can I waste time here?

"Master, are you leaving?"

"What else?" Sheng Shu followed Zhang Shan and sent him to the door.

At this time, Tsunade and Orochimaru were still at the door. When they saw the two men coming out, Tsunade immediately said, "By the way, I haven't introduced Zhang Shan to you yet, right? He is now Jiraiya's nominal disciple! Zhang Shan played an indispensable role in our Sand Village's rapid victory on the front line!"

Orochimaru also looked at Zhang Shan and said with a gentle smile: "I have heard about you for a long time. We finally meet today."

Zhang Shan scratched his head and laughed: "Actually, I'm not that famous~ Hahaha~"

Orochimaru's gaze stayed on Zhang Shan. Seeing that the other party spoke in a calm tone without any nervousness, he couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Zhang Shan.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Zhang Shan said hello and walked away from the Mito family.

Orochimaru is still a sunny and cheerful boy, full of yearning for the future and for becoming Hokage. Zhang Shan doesn't want to play with him for the time being; maybe when Orochimaru starts to study forbidden techniques in the future, the two will have more common topics.

. . .

The next day.

Xiaoguang forced the dazed Zhang Shan to go out with him for breakfast. To be honest, there was nothing delicious in Konoha for breakfast, not even soy milk or fried dough sticks, and Zhang Shan didn't like it at all.

But Xiaoguang insisted on holding her. If he refused, she would look at him with her big watery eyes and blink from time to time. Who could resist that?

So, even though Zhang Shan felt helpless, he went to the street with Xiaoguang to visit the morning market.

If I don't come, I'll always feel guilty.

The two happily ate breakfast and were about to leave when the whole street suddenly became lively.

"Oh my god! Is it really Mito-sama?!"

"Mister Mito! Take this fresh beef!"

"Mito-sama! This bundle of vegetables is for you!"

"Mito-sama..."

The merchants on the street held their own goods and kept stuffing their things into Mito's hands.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoguang and Zhang Shan both stopped and sighed: "As expected of the wife of the first Hokage, her popularity is higher than that of the Hokage, right?"

Zhang Shan nodded in agreement, and when he saw Mito chatting and laughing with the people around him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"For someone who has been pursuing peace all her life, this is probably what she wants to see the most."

The aroma of breakfast wafts through the streets, people’s faces are filled with smiles, and everything is thriving. This is probably the greatest affirmation they get after working hard all their lives.

After saying that, the two of them walked towards Mito.

"Morning, Grandma Mito!"
