Ordinary People

Chapter 39 Ordinary People

At the entrance of Konoha Village, in a corner of a wall.

Suzuki and Hanako came out at the same time.

They also spotted Minato Namikaze, who was pulling Kushina, coming out from the other corner.

"what?"

Hanako was clearly surprised and let out a small gasp.

Suzuki never expected to run into Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

The two of them graduated almost a year ago, and the last time they met was on the playground of the ninja academy.

Since they had already met, Suzuki didn't just pull Hanako away.

He smiled and politely greeted Minato and Kushina:

"Hello, Minato-senpai and Kushina-senpai."

Hearing someone greet them, Kushina Uzumaki turned to look at them, but quickly turned back to look at Minato Namikaze with a puzzled expression.

Clearly, she didn't remember who Suzuki and Hanako were.

After all, we only met once on the playground, and it's been almost a year.

But Minato Namikaze's memory is still excellent.

Then, this future Golden Flash, with a gentle smile on his face, politely greeted Suzuki and Hanako:

"Hahaha, Suzuki-kun, we meet again."

"And this junior, I remember you were with her the last time we met, right?"

"Haha, you two have a good relationship."

Suzuki gave the same gentle smile, ignoring Minato Namikaze's teasing.

He pulled Hanako, whose little face was flushed, and introduced them to each other:

"Yeah, Minato-senpai has already graduated. I didn't expect to see him again. We're really lucky."

"Oh right, this is Hanako, she's my deskmate."

Then, seeing Hanako becoming increasingly cautious, he continued speaking to Minato Namikaze:

"Yes, her idol during her time at the Ninja Academy was Kushina-senpai."

Upon hearing Hanako's praise of Kushina, Minato Namikaze glanced teasingly at Kushina, whose face had already turned red with embarrassment, and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be a Kushina fan~"

Hanako had already recovered by this time, and when she heard Suzuki introducing her to the two seniors, she didn't hide.

She walked confidently up to Kushina, took Kushina's hand, and then smiled as she said to Kushina:

"Blood Red. Um, Kushina-senpai, hello! You're so pretty and cool! I'm Hanako."

"Many girls at the ninja academy admire you, and I'm one of them!"

Suzuki was not surprised to see this.

That's just Hanako's personality; her petite, cute, and shy nature is just a facade.

Her inner strength and courage are actually much greater than many people imagine.

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki, after getting up close to her junior who admired her, was so speechless that she couldn't even utter a word.

After she came to Konoha from Uzushiogakure, few people became close to her.

She came here as an outsider, and she was bullied by students at the ninja academy from time to time.

Of course, they were all eventually beaten into submission by her.

She also knew that there was a group of junior girls in the ninja academy who admired her.

Blood Red Pepper has transformed from a mocking nickname into a cool and handsome one.

But really, we weren't that close, let alone saying it to each other's faces.

"Waaaaah, I can't take it anymore. Minato is so mean, I don't even have any fans."

"Hey, hey, hey, what's this tiny junior doing here?"

"No, no, no... Ah, this is so embarrassing."

Kushina's heart was in turmoil, her mind racing as she considered how to reply to this beggar junior.

Not long after, though in Kushina's mind a long time had probably passed.

She finally came to her senses, a hint of embarrassment still on her face, and smiled shyly while holding Hanako's small hand:

"Hahaha, that..."

"No way. Hanako, you're the cutest one~"

"Thank you, Hanako!"

"Hahahaha"

Kushina scratched the back of her head with her other hand and grinned foolishly.

Hanako saw that her senior wasn't so difficult to get along with, and smiled sweetly.

Suzuki and Minato Namikaze exchanged a glance, a hint of a smile in their eyes, clearly finding the exchange between the two amusing.

Just then, a shout came from afar:

"Watergate! Watergate!"

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze turned around and looked over.

A surprised smile immediately appeared on his face.

Suzuki quickly turned to look in that direction, involuntarily narrowing his eyes before putting on a polite smile again.

That's when Jiraiya brought Orochimaru and Tsunade here.

Minato Namikaze quickly stepped forward to greet her. Kushina smiled at Hanako and then followed Minato.

Seeing this, Suzuki had no intention of staying there as a third wheel or a passerby, and he took Hanako's hand and prepared to go home.

At this moment, Jiraiya was holding Minato Namikaze's hand, a triumphant laugh on his face:

"Hahaha, did you see that? Did you see that?"

"Isn't my apprentice pretty good?"

"Let me tell you two, Minato will definitely be better than me in the future!"

Orochimaru was somewhat surprised by Jiraiya's good luck, but his face still showed a hint of disdain.

"You think you can teach an apprentice well? Will you take him to see the women's bathhouse?"

"I'm definitely better than you, after all, you're the worst student."

Seeing this, and hearing these words, Jiraiya instantly wanted to fight Orochimaru, but fortunately Minato Namikaze pulled him back in time.

Just as the group was playfully bickering...

On the other side, Kushina Uzumaki had already taken Tsunade's arm.

She and Tsunade had a good relationship, and she was quietly comforting her distant cousin who had suffered a misfortune.

At that moment, Suzuki and Hanako also arrived nearby, preparing to leave directly, when Jiraiya called out to him:

"Hey, Minato, is this your friend? I just saw you two chatting happily over there!"

Minato Namikaze looked gently at Suzuki and Hanako, and replied with a smile:

"Ah, yes, Jiraiya-sensei."

"They are also my juniors, and they will all be graduating soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately walked over to Suzuki and Hanako in a very casual manner.

He approached the two of them, first giving Hanako a teasing look, then patting Suzuki on the shoulder and laughing heartily:

"Hahaha, not bad, kid. You already have such a cute girlfriend while still in ninja academy. You've got the style of the Toad Sage back in the day!"

"."

Suzuki was somewhat speechless.

Jiraiya had some idea of ​​what kind of life he lived when he was in the Ninja Academy.

From the moment Jiraiya first met Tsunade at the Ninja Academy, he was either being beaten up by Tsunade or on his way to being beaten up by her.

Nothing will change until now, or even in the future.

This demeanor is quite different from his.

But since they had already come over to greet him, Suzuki couldn't be impolite.

There was no explanation that Hanako was just his deskmate, and arguing with Jiraiya about such things was pointless.

So, he simply pulled Hanako along and politely replied to Jiraiya:

"Hello, Jiraiya-sama~"

This hero of the ninja world may seem carefree on the surface, but he is actually extremely meticulous.

He knew that Suzuki and Hanako would feel very awkward here, and judging from their expressions, they were about to leave.

So Jiraiya just laughed heartily for a while and didn't say anything more, but continued chatting with Minato Namikaze.

When Suzuki arrived at Orochimaru's side, he remained calm and greeted him politely once again:

"Lord Orochimaru, hello~"
