Chapter 48: Kushina Problem

(T/N: Please consider reviewing this Fanfic, Thanks and appreciate all who support me)

(T/N: Enjoy!!)

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts were something Asahi couldn't possibly know. He didn't feel that his face was that significant, considering that initially, he was somewhat bluffing. In reality, his strength wasn't overwhelmingly formidable.

Moreover, Asahi wasn't an edgy teenager with an air of superiority, acting like the world revolved around him. Why should someone automatically grant him face?

Therefore, when dealing with someone like Kushina, a treasure of the village, careful consideration was necessary.

Nevertheless, regardless of the situation, Kushina had to agree herself; otherwise, even if Konoha agreed, it would be meaningless.

How should he approach this?

Asahi looked at Kushina, feeling a bit conflicted in his mind.

On the contrary, Kushina, hearing Asahi speak with a senior-like tone and finding his young face, felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Uh... no, senior, there's nothing."

(T/N: She replied MC conversation which, readers can trace at chapter 45)

Kushina waved her hand, somewhat embarrassed.

Looking at Kushina's red hair, Asahi suddenly thought of a breakthrough.

Kushina's strength was indeed sufficient, but don't forget, she was also a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.

It could be said that every Jinchuriki had been deeply troubled by the issues of their Tailed Beast.

Kushina was no exception, and Asahi dared to assert that Kushina still couldn't easily suppress the Nine-Tails.

"Is that fellow inside you behaving?"

Thinking of a breakthrough, Asahi didn't hesitate and directly brought it up.

To successfully take on a disciple, he needed to showcase his own strength. Asahi understood this principle. As for how to solve the Nine-Tails' issue...

Apart from Asahi's powerful sealing techniques, even relying on his eloquence, with his rich knowledge, Asahi was confident in convincing the Nine-Tails.

After all, it was just a tsundere fox. Asahi considered it a piece of cake.

As Asahi's words came out, the expressions of Jiraiya and the others changed instantly.

Although they held a favorable view of Asahi, the matter of the Nine-Tails inside Kushina was of utmost importance and couldn't tolerate any negligence.

Originally, they thought the seal on the Nine-Tails was quite secure, almost imperceptible in everyday life.

In addition, Kushina's identity is also considered confidential, creating a situation that should have been foolproof. 

However, to their surprise, Asahi actually saw through it at a glance.

Even Kushina felt a bit uneasy at this point, unable to discern what Asahi really meant.

Jiraiya, probing, asked, "Senpai, can you perceive what's inside Kushina?"

(T/N: From now, I will change how the Sannin call MC, from 'lord' to 'Senpai')

Minato, who was already concerned about Kushina, also looked towards Asahi, eager to hear his thoughts.

Seeing the somewhat restrained group, Asahi couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

"It's just a fox, why act like you're guarding against a thief?"

"Um, hehe..."

Jiraiya and the others awkwardly laughed, and now there was no suspense—it could be directly confirmed.

Tsunade glanced at Asahi, thinking of his god-like strength back then. She doubted that Asahi would have any ill intentions towards the Nine-Tails.

Perhaps, this was a rare opportunity!

Thinking this, Tsunade directly spoke, "Kushina, Asahi-senpai is asking you. Just speak directly. Don't worry; he won't harm you."

Beautiful! Asahi silently praised Tsunade for delivering such an assist.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Kushina, no longer silent, felt relieved.

She didn't avoid discussing such matters, and her previous silence was only because she wasn't familiar with Asahi and felt it wasn't suitable to talk about these relatively confidential things.

But now, with Tsunade's statement, Kushina naturally had no more reservations.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Asahi. The Nine-Tails is quite well-behaved. Although it often tries to seize my body, I can resist it with sealing jutsu."

Kushina was straightforward, revealing the actual situation.

Hearing Kushina's words, Asahi stroked his chin.

Indeed, Kushina's relationship with the Nine-Tails wasn't as good as portrayed in the manga.

"Is that so... Do you need my help? I can help you with the fox issue."

Asahi asked with a smiling expression, his strong confidence startling everyone.

Asahi was talking about helping Kushina resolve the fox issue! They didn't mishear.

But that wasn't an ordinary fox; it was the Nine-Tails. 

In the past, to seal the Nine-Tails into Kushina, almost all the strong individuals in the village had mobilized. Yet, Asahi was casually saying this.

Indeed, he deserved the title of a senior; his perspective was different!

Tsunade's eyes sparkled, feeling that her bet this time was a win!

"Senior, are you serious? Can you really help Kushina with the Nine-Tails issue?"

A excited Minato Namikaze exclaimed, well aware of the daily struggles Kushina faced. 

As Kushina's boyfriend, there was no way he wouldn't be excited when someone claimed to help her.

Even Kushina herself was a bit baffled at this point.

Wasn't I just here for a date? How did I end up with such a big favor?

Is today my lucky day?

As for whether Asahi could deliver, Kushina didn't doubt it at all. 

If Asahi dared to make such a statement, he must have some tricks up his sleeve, at least enough to make her life easier.

Asahi glanced at the excited Minato, thinking, Your doting husband attribute is quite heavy; you're getting all excited over this.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you two newly-turned-adult kids."

At his words, Minato instantly bowed to Asahi.

"Please, Lord Asahi, you must help Kushina!"

Watching Minato bow, Kushina couldn't help but feel surprised.

Asahi, looking at the display of affection, thought, You guys, what are you doing?

I already asked if Kushina needs help; just say yes, that's it. Why this drama?

It's making me look like some heartless villain who refuses to help.

Indeed, when young couples fall in love, their intelligence seems to drop to negative values.

Now they can't even understand such a simple statement!

"I didn't say I wouldn't help. As long as Kushina needs assistance, just say it."

Asahi shook his head in silence, making Minato awkward, his face turning red.

Uncertain of what to say, Minato forced a laugh.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, looking at Minato and Kushina's lovely interaction, added to the awkwardness.
