Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

The Third Hokage found it hard to believe.

He was certain that the Uchiha clan had received the news and would try to win Xin back into their fold.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take a break."

It was strange that the Uchiha hadn't made a move.

But the Third Hokage had more pressing matters to worry about right now, as long as the Uchiha didn't cause trouble during this time.

As for stopping surveillance on the Uchiha clan, that was out of the question.

Even if he agreed, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado would never consent.

.....

The village's notification came quickly. As expected, the three of them were promoted to Chunin, leaving behind their Genin status.

To Xin's surprise, after their promotion, the village didn't rush to assign them any specific missions.

"Let's go have some barbecue. My treat!"

Upon hearing the news of their promotion, Kushina cheerfully sought them out, suggesting they go out and celebrate.

When it came to good food, Kushina always had a special craving for the barbecue from the Akimichi clan.

"Won't that be too expensive?" Uchiha Mikoto asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Kushina had treated them to barbecue not long ago. If she did it again, it would be too much.

"Not at all, Mikoto! I have plenty of money! You don't have to worry about making me broke. Eat as much as you want."

Hugging Uchiha Mikoto's arm, Kushina walked ahead with her, leaving Xin and Minato to follow behind.

"Why do I feel like Kushina isn't very happy?" Minato leaned closer to Xin, whispering quietly.

"Why don't you ask her and find out?" Xin replied.

You think I'm falling for that? Are you trying to set me up?

Minato leaped away, holding up his hands, signaling to Xin that he wasn't going to be fooled.

Trying to trick me?

No way!

I, Minato, have been burned too many times. I've learned my lessons well. Your little tricks, Yagami Xin, won't work on me anymore.

I just said it offhandedly. Do you really have to react that much?

They ordered a pile of meat and some juice. Kushina placed both hands on the table and leaned in, almost knocking heads with Xin.

"What's up?"

If he hadn't reacted quickly, they would have ended up bumping foreheads.

"Xin, what do you want for your birthday?"

"Birthday present?" Minato reacted even faster than Xin, while Uchiha Mikoto tilted her head, thinking it over.

Kushina's mention of it reminded her that Xin was about to turn nine.

What should I get him?

I want a gift too. I'm almost nine.

Minato tried to hint at Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto with his eyes, but they both completely ignored him.
