Chapter 339: The Minister of Finance
"You're back?"
The four members of Minato's team stumbled into the house, their movements unsteady, and soon saw Kawakaze sitting in the dojo.
"Sensei."
It felt as if they had been caught doing something wrong. In an instant, they sobered up considerably.
"Have you been drinking a lot?" Kawakaze frowned but chose not to scold them. A little sake every now and then wasn't a big deal.
"I've only had a little," Minato said, his speech slurred as he tried to maintain a facade of innocence.
"That's enough. You can go back; I have something to tell them," Kawakaze said with a laugh, waving Minato off and signaling him to head to bed.
"Okay, Sensei."
Minato obeyed, leaving Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato standing uneasily before Kawakaze.
"Sit down," Kawakaze said, gesturing toward the floor.
"Sensei, is there anything else you want to tell us?" Yahiko asked as he sat down, trying to shake off the haze of drunkenness and focus on the figure of Kawakaze in front of him.
