## Chapter 1087: Shanks and Eight-Tails Gyuki!
"What do you think?"
Inside the detached villa assigned to each elite jonin in Sea Ninja Village.
Minato Namikaze, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the sofa in the living room, looking gently at his wife.
Although Kushina Uzumaki had been appointed principal of the Sealing Barrier Specialist Ninja High School, the Ninja World side hadn't finished construction yet, so she had been staying here recently.
Sometimes she would also go to the Uzumaki Clan Land in the Kuri region to see Kagura Uzumaki and the remaining dozen or so clansmen, as she was the current clan leader.
However, Kushina had already decided to pass the position of clan leader to Nagato when he came of age.
She understood clearly that for the Uzumaki Clan to gain the World Government's importance, having a clan leader with the Rinnegan was crucial.
And the topic the two were discussing now.
It was the matter that Second Sea Shadow Tengen Uzui had called Minato Namikaze to his office to discuss that morning.
The World Government, through Tengen Uzui, asked if he was willing to leave Sea Ninja Village and transfer to the Space Research Institute of the Academy of Science to deeply research the greater possibility of the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.
At the time, Minato Namikaze subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He had been a ninja for so long, and had even put in countless sweat and effort since childhood to become a ninja, so how could he be willing to give up his ninja career?
But the smile of Kushina that appeared in his mind made him unable to say the words of refusal.
Finally, Minato Namikaze said he needed to go home and discuss it with his wife.
"Minato, as your wife, of course I hope you can accept this opinion."
Kushina Uzumaki met his gaze with the gentlest look.
"No matter what, scientific research on this world is safer than combat on the frontline."
"Moreover, the World Government's war is different. Before, you mostly faced familiar ninja, but in the future, you will be exchanging blows with almost unknown experts in different worlds."
"The risk involved is visible to the naked eye, and the probability of an accident is unimaginable. I... I really don't want to hear the news of your sacrifice one day."
"Do you know, even when you were in the Ninja World before, every time you went out on a mission, I was actually anxious, but I had to make myself cheerful, just to welcome you home with the best smile."
"But if you are no longer a ninja, but a researcher, can we live happily together forever, and in the future, there will be our child..."
His wife's affectionate declaration words deeply moved Minato Namikaze.
Especially upon hearing the last sentence, he had to admit his heart was moved.
His and Kushina's child!
If possible, Minato Namikaze naturally hoped to always accompany his wife and children.
Indeed, compared to these, the identity of a ninja doesn't seem so hard to give up...
Minato Namikaze thought to himself.
If he had to choose one of two, he would definitely choose a happy family.
Anyway, there were no citizens he needed to protect now.
"Alright, then I'll tell Adult Sea Shadow now that I accept the position of dean of the Space Research Institute!"
With the choice made in his heart, Minato Namikaze no longer hesitated.
"Thank you, my husband." Kushina Uzumaki knew that the other party had made a sacrifice for this family, and immediately showed a bright smile: "By the way, I can also join this research institute to help!"
"Okay!"
Minato Namikaze nodded heavily.
But his heart was still trembling.
Because he had never thought he would stop being a ninja.
No!
Minato Namikaze thought to himself: "Even if I'm not a ninja, I can't relax my cultivation. Who knows what matter will happen in the future? I must possess the strength to protect my wife and children at any time..."
Who says researchers can't be strong?
"Oh right, husband, I suddenly realized that the next period of time is just right for having children~~"
At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki said softly with a flushed face and shining eyes.
Minato Namikaze was startled.
After he left Sea Ninja Village, he would naturally have a few days with nothing to do, and the other party also had to wait for the school to be built.
Indeed, this was the best time to get pregnant.
It would be troublesome to have children later when they both got busy.
"Cough cough, I'll call Adult Sea Shadow first..."
Minato Namikaze shyly avoided his wife's gaze and reached out to pick up the Den Den Mushi on the coffee table.
But unexpectedly, Kushina suddenly stood up and said beaming with joy:
"I'll make a good meal tonight! Oh right, I need to ask where they sell red wine!"
Before she even finished speaking, she hurried out of the house, leaving Minato Namikaze not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
But his expression quickly returned to normal. He gazed at his wife's back view as she left and murmured softly:
"This is good enough. Nothing is more important to me than a happy family..."
Not long after.
Im in the Imperial Arms World received the report from his subordinates immediately.
Minato Namikaze agreed to become the dean of the Space Research Institute!
Im also showed a smile: "That's good. Naruto Uzumaki won't be an orphan in the future either."
He had some feelings for this 'character' whom he had 'watched' grow up until he achieved his dream, got married, and had children.
Perhaps the future Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't become a Hokage or a hero who saved the world.
But Im believed.
Naruto Uzumaki would rather have a complete family and a happy childhood.
At the same time.
Interesting things were happening on the Sea Star Mainland.
On a lush green small island near the Flower Country in the West Blue.
At this moment, a group of young men and women wearing black robes were sitting around a bonfire, enjoying the taste of roast meat and drink while chatting and laughing, making it very lively.
However, beside these fourteen people, there was also a strange creature.
It was about three meters tall, with a large body size, entirely pink, with eight octopus legs, two pointed horns and two curved horns, and a head that looked like a bull.
It was Eight-Tails Gyuki from the Ninja World.
And this was also his territory, named 'Eight-Tails Island'.
"Shanks, can't you stay a few more days?"
Gyuki asked gloomily.
He also used an octopus leg to roll up a wine bowl and pour it into his mouth, a pleased expression immediately appearing on his face.
The alcohol these people brought was really delicious. Of course, he hadn't drunk any other alcohol before.
When these people trespassed before and ignored his attempts to drive them away, a fight was naturally unavoidable.
But he found that he couldn't beat this guy named Shanks.
As for the others, their strength was not bad. In the Ninja World, they should be at the jonin level of Cloud Hidden Village.
Since he couldn't beat them, he could only chat.
As the two sides chatted, they sat together and started drinking alcohol and eating meat.
Soon, Gyuki found that the bold and cheerful Shanks was very easy to get along with.
After all, his personality was somewhat irritable, uninhibited, and kind.
Immediately, the two sides became friends.
"I promised to travel with them to the places the Roger Pirates went to back then. We've rested enough, so it's time to set off. How about it, do you want to come along?"
Shanks held a wine bottle in one hand and patted Gyuki's shoulder with the other, laughing loudly.
"This..."
Gyuki was a little moved.
He had been living here for several months and had long lost the initial freshness, so he naturally wanted to go out and explore.
"Hmm?!"
But just as Gyuki was about to agree, he saw Shanks suddenly stand up, his right hand instantly going to the sword hilt at his waist.
His entire body emitted a powerful aura, and his sharp eyes stared intently in the direction outside the island.
"What's wrong, Shanks?"
The other thirteen students of the Celestial Dragon Holy Academy saw this scene and stood up one after another, on vigilance.
"Someone's here, and they're very strong!"
Shanks reminded in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
