Chapter 112: Discharge from the Hospital
Two more days passed.
Medical ninja came into the ward to examine Kamishiro and Minato Namikaze.
"The injuries have healed. You can be discharged from the hospital. However, don't overwork yourself for the next week."
"Whoo! Finally getting out of here!"
Kamishiro jumped off the hospital bed and cheered. Although his days in the hospital were comfortable, it had gotten a bit boring after a while. After all, there was nothing much to do besides reading books.
Moreover, the inspiration he gained from reading these days needed to be put into practice. And Kanna needed to be repaired.
Right now, Kanna was still in pieces.
Minato Namikaze also showed a smile.
During these days in the hospital, he felt as if his body was about to rust.
Kushina Uzumaki, with a beautiful smile, said to Kamishiro, "Kamishiro, to celebrate your discharge, let me treat you to a meal."
Kamishiro looked at Kushina Uzumaki with a surprised look. "Really? That's great! Obito, Kakashi, Rin, you guys are getting a free meal thanks to me!"
Kushina Uzumaki looked at Obito and his two companions, squinting her eyes and asking, "Oh? Do you want to eat?"
"Ah, no no no, I've got something to do."
"I still have to go training!"
"I have to go help an old lady later."
Obito and his two companions quickly declined, fearing they'd be too late to turn down the offer.
Minato Namikaze gave Kamishiro a pitying look but still tried to persuade Kushina Uzumaki. "Um, Kushina..."
However, Kushina Uzumaki looked at Minato Namikaze sharply. "What? Do you want to eat too?"
Minato Namikaze immediately stood up straight and denied it. "Uh... No, I just ate. Forget it."
Kamishiro wasn't a fool and could sense something was amiss. He took a few steps back. "I think I'm quite full too!"
Kushina Uzumaki hooked her arm around Kamishiro's neck and said with a smile, "That won't do. Didn't you say you didn't have enough to eat last time? Right now, I'll make you full!"
All the hairs on Kamishiro's body stood up, and he quickly defended himself. "Lady Kushina, you said you'd take care of me. I didn't force you!"
Kushina Uzumaki smiled brightly. "Yeah, I did it voluntarily. I didn't say you forced me! Alright, let's go. I'll make you stuffed soon."
Kushina Uzumaki grabbed Kamishiro by the neck and practically dragged him out.
Kamishiro looked at Minato Namikaze and Obito's group with a pleading look.
Minato Namikaze and Obito's group deliberately averted their eyes and pretended not to notice.
It's Kamishiro's own fault for being so mischievous these days. Now, his comeuppance is here. They had advised him before, but since he didn't listen, there was nothing they could do.
And of course, Kamishiro knew he was acting up on purpose.
Who asked Kushina Uzumaki to give him a hard slap in the face as soon as they met and then send him to the hospital.
The narrow-minded Kamishiro thought that since he was injured, it shouldn't be a big Problem to act a bit during his injury. After all, he got hurt for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki!
However, Kamishiro overlooked Kushina Uzumaki's fiery temper.
Minato Namikaze was quite surprised that Kushina Uzumaki could endure it for so many days.
Several times, Minato Namikaze thought that Kushina Uzumaki was about to lose her patience, but she still managed to hold it in and continued to take care of Kamishiro through gritted teeth.
Kamishiro struggled desperately and shouted at Kushina Uzumaki, "You can't do this! You're repaying kindness with hatred! I was sent to the hospital with a thump from your tail!"
Kushina Uzumaki said matter - of - factly, "Yeah, that's why I've been swallowing my anger and taking care of you in the hospital these days. Now that you're discharged from the hospital, I've repaid my debt."
"It can't be that simple! I also helped Lord Minato suppress... Um~"
Minato Namikaze used the Body Flicker Technique and directly covered Kamishiro's mouth. "Kamishiro, you can't talk about this!"
The fact that Kushina Uzumaki was a jinchuriki was top - secret. If Kamishiro spilled the beans, it would be a huge Problem.
Since he couldn't talk about that, Kamishiro changed his tune. "Since you've repaid your debt, then we have nothing to do with each other. Why are you still trying to get revenge on me? Let go of me quickly!"
Kushina Uzumaki grabbed Kamishiro by the back of his neck and lifted him in front of her, smiling 'gently'. "I just want to invite you to have a meal now! Without any other motives."
Kamishiro realized that Kushina Uzumaki was determined to beat him up, so he pleaded to Minato Namikaze, "Lord Minato, won't you do something about her? She's out of control! I'm your benefactor!"
Minato Namikaze said to Kushina hesitantly, "Kushina, how about..."
Kushina Uzumaki turned to look at Minato Namikaze. Her red hair fluttered without wind, and her eyes glowed like light bulbs.
When Obito and the other two saw this, they were so scared that they stepped back repeatedly.
Not only were Obito and the others scared, but Minato Namikaze was also terrified. He instantly shut his mouth.
Kushina Uzumaki dragged Kamishiro to the alley outside the hospital and started to 'feed' Kamishiro.
"Um~ Ah! Oh~ Ow!!"
Half an hour later, the 'full' Kamishiro, with a bruised and swollen face, followed Kushina Uzumaki out.
There was a genuine, relieved smile on Kushina Uzumaki's face.
The depression of these days had finally dissipated. She felt refreshed!
Different from Kamishiro's bad impression of Kushina Uzumaki when they first met, Kushina Uzumaki had a good impression of Kamishiro.
When Minato Namikaze talked to her about Kamishiro, he made Kushina feel that Kamishiro was quite interesting.
At the same time, Kamishiro was a bit similar to her. They both came to Konoha alone. Unlike her, who had Mito Uzumaki's support back then, Kamishiro was all alone.
Additionally, if Kamishiro hadn't made the Nine-Tailed Fox pause last time, both she and Minato Namikaze would have been in great danger.
Kushina Uzumaki actually wanted to get along well with Kamishiro.
It's just that sometimes Kamishiro was really cheeky, and she almost lost her temper many times.
Kushina Uzumaki looked at the bruised and battered Kamishiro with a gentle smile on her face. "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."
Kamishiro instinctively shuddered and waved his hands like crazy, mumbling, "No, no, I'm full. Really full!"
Kushina Uzumaki raised her eyebrows and said, "This time it's not to beat you up. I really want to treat you to celebrate your and Minato's discharge from the hospital."
Kamishiro asked cautiously, "So, does that mean Lord Minato and Obito will also go?"
"Of course!"
"Well, okay then!"
Kamishiro rubbed his cheek. Since he'd already taken the beating, he might as well make the most of it.
Since he couldn't beat Kushina Uzumaki, he'd eat her out of pocket!
Obito leaned in front of Kamishiro and poked the bump on his head. "This huge bump might disappear in a little while, just as if it had never been there. It's really amazing."
Kamishiro winced in pain from Obito's poke. Just as he was about to curse at Obito, he suddenly went stock-still.
Obito's words suddenly sparked a faint inspiration in Kamishiro's mind.
