Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 41.
...
...
Two days had passed while Minato visited the Hokage, spending his time with friends as he did at that moment.
"So, you became a Jonin..." Minato said as they occupied an entire table at a barbecue restaurant, joined by a group of former classmates from the Elite class where they had graduated.
Minato, Mikoto, Kushina, Tsuna, along with the group known as Ino-Shika-Chō—Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Chōza—and other members who had graduated with them and survived the war, had gathered to celebrate its end. More than ten people were present.
"Yes... So much responsibility..." Shikaku muttered, not entirely pleased with the idea.
"Not just that, Minato. He became the vice-leader of the camp!" Chōza said while enjoying his barbecue.
"Really?" Minato asked, surprised, as he hadn't seen any reports about it.
"I haven't been officially appointed. It's just talk with Chōza. I've only been informally assisting the commander of Camp 10," Shikaku replied, shaking his head.
"You're the only one who managed to become an early commander among us..." Inoichi remarked, looking at Minato, who was surrounded by girls. 'And popular too, as always,' he thought with a hint of envy. Other girls were gazing at Minato with more alluring looks, but none of the four girls at the table would let anyone else approach him.
"You became a war hero, Minato. I always knew you'd be someone important or something like that. But fighting Hanzo, the Tsuchikage, infiltrating the Sand Village alone to get the antidote, fighting the Raikage and defeating him... I don't think anyone contributed more to the war than you. I don't even know why the village hasn't officially recognized all your feats yet. Damn, you're our age—what kind of monster will you become in the future?!" Shikaku commented in a tone full of boredom as he pointed at Minato.
"You think too much, Shikaku. Eat more!" Chōza said, offering him some meat, though Shikaku declined with a shake of his head.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed at that, and Minato returned to his meal.
"But you all became famous last year... I heard rumors about how you stood out in the fights against the Sand Village, and your actions gained recognition too," Minato said with a smile.
"Well, we might've stood out a bit," Mikoto commented.
The night continued as they ate and talked at the barbecue restaurant. After some time, everyone began to leave, saying their goodbyes, and each returned home. Mikoto, without a clan and unsurprisingly, went with Minato to his house, where she had been staying for the past few days.
"If that old lady tries to spy on me again, I swear I'll beat her up!" Mikoto said as they entered the apartment complex. She glanced at the door opposite Minato's, but there was no sign of the nosy neighbor. It seemed the old woman had been traumatized, at least for now. Minato felt relieved.
Unlocking the door and stepping inside while turning on the lights, he felt Mikoto's gaze on him, as if she were deep in thought about something.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Minato asked, turning to her abruptly, and Mikoto immediately averted her gaze.
"Oh, nothing, nothing! Can't I look?" she replied with a smile that Minato found suspicious.
"I hope you haven't been drinking, Mikoto," he teased while taking off his vest and preparing for bed.
"You were with me the whole night, you fool," she laughed, heading to the bathroom.
Despite always sleeping in the same bed, they each stayed on their side. However, Mikoto occasionally teased him, especially when they were alone.
Minato lay down, closed his eyes, and was almost asleep when he felt Mikoto climb into bed and pull the blanket over herself. He sensed that something was off.
"Minato..." she called from behind him.
He turned calmly, suspecting her tone. Mikoto had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Did you know I bought something today in one of Konoha's shops? I wanted your opinion... Do you think it suits me?" she asked.
Minato looked at her for a moment, trying to figure out what she was planning this time. Raising an eyebrow in intrigue, he noticed her hesitating, starting to grow embarrassed.
She simply got out of bed, still covering her body with the blanket for some reason, and stood on his side of the bed.
Suddenly, Mikoto let the blanket drop, revealing a red lingerie that accentuated her curves. She was nearly naked—something she had never done before.
Minato stood there, staring at her from head to toe, noticing every detail. Mikoto had never been so daring, and he was momentarily stunned by something so unexpected.
"What is it? Don't you like it?" she asked, seeing Minato standing there motionless while her face turned bright red. She spun from side to side and even did a full turn, hoping he would compliment her.
"You look beautiful," Minato murmured, still sitting on the bed, unable to take his eyes off her.
Unable to hide the blush on her face, Mikoto broke into a wide smile, clearly delighted. She stepped closer to him with light steps and asked again, tilting her face toward his.
"Really? Do you really think so?"
"Yes, you look beautiful," he repeated, staring at Mikoto but making no other move.
She realized her attempt to seduce Minato was working. He was speechless. The great hero of Konoha seemed paralyzed, and Mikoto took advantage of it. She moved closer, feeling his breath, and wasted no time in pressing her lips to his, initiating a kiss. Minato didn't resist, giving in to the warmth of the moment.
The kiss grew intense, filled with passion. Their tongues met in an almost wild rhythm. Mikoto, growing even bolder and feeling her body move on its own, lifted her leg, placing it on the bed as she straddled Minato. Her warmth was evident, and Minato knew he wouldn't be able to resist that night.
The two resumed kissing fervently. Minato grabbed her by the waist and gently laid her on the other side of the bed, positioning himself over her. Their hips touched, and the tension between them grew even thicker. Soft sounds emerged as she crossed her legs over Minato, pulling him closer to her.
He began trailing kisses down her neck as Mikoto closed her eyes, letting out quiet moans of pleasure. Minato continued, lowering his lips to her chest, almost brushing against her breasts.
"Should we be doing this...? It feels so good..." she asked, her voice laced with pleasure.
Minato couldn't answer as he looked back at her. They both knew where this would lead if they continued, and hesitation filled the air.
However, Mikoto decided to take the initiative to stop. With a teasing yet shy smile, she cupped his face and pulled him in for one last kiss.
When she pulled away, she looked at him with a soft, loving smile.
"Minato, we're not married yet... As much as I want to continue, it's better if we save this for the right moment," she said, though her eyes betrayed her words. Still, she was right.
He didn't try to kiss her again as she let him go, and he collapsed onto his side of the bed alone. Mikoto got up and went to the bathroom, smiling, leaving Minato dazed. He lay there, staring at the ceiling, while Mikoto changed into something more appropriate for sleeping in their shared bed.
When she returned to the room, Mikoto lay beside him, watching him.
"What's wrong, Minato? Are you okay?" she asked with a mischievous smile, knowing she had left him flustered without letting things progress further.
Minato didn't reply. He turned away, trying to ignore her. Mikoto chuckled softly, amused by how she had provoked and left him in that state. Although she hadn't let the situation escalate, she knew she could boast to the other women interested in Minato that she had managed to seduce him and that he desired her.
Minato was truly uncomfortable, as his lower body wouldn't relax after Mikoto's teasing, and he had to endure it.
In the middle of the night, Minato got up to go to the bathroom. He needed relief, all while hearing Mikoto's quiet giggles coming from the room. He wanted to curse her but chose to ignore it. Returning to bed, he tried to sleep as if nothing had happened.
The next morning, they were awakened by someone knocking on the door. Minato got up to answer it and found Kushina standing there with a cake in her hands.
"I brought this for breakfast," she said, smiling, unaware of the awkwardness the two were trying to hide.
After eating, they went for a walk through the village. On their way, they ran into Tsuna, who was handling matters related to her family's properties. She seemed quite busy as the only Senju appearing publicly, but she managed to find some time and joined the group.
"Hey, did something happen between you two? You smell like something suspicious..." she asked immediately, glancing at Mikoto and Minato, who both fell silent at her question.
Later that day, Minato had an important event: the ceremony the Hokage had mentioned days before. However, before that, the group decided to visit the property Minato had purchased two years ago. It was a large piece of land, with space for training and even a lake.
"When are you going to start building, Minato?" Kushina asked excitedly, looking around.
"Next week. I'll be hiring the builders and engineers to construct the house. I believe the planning is already complete," Minato replied thoughtfully. It was a shame there wasn't a Mokuton user in the village—it would have been a great help.
Minato stayed there with the girls, planning the property and discussing ideas they had talked about in recent days. It wasn't his first time visiting the site, but now everyone was making suggestions about what they wanted for the space. Mikoto, Kushina, and Tsuna were enthusiastic, each sharing their ideas. Though Minato listened, he already had everything planned out and was unlikely to change much.
"Well, let's head out. It won't be long before the event starts," Minato said eventually as everyone began to leave the property.
"Hey, did you notice how Hanabi was acting strange last night?" Tsuna remarked.
"That's true. At the barbecue, she wasn't acting like herself. Do you think something's wrong?" Kushina asked, concerned.
"We should check on her later," Minato responded seriously as they continued walking.
After some time, they began to hear loud sounds coming from the center of the village. As they approached, they noticed a large crowd gathered. Civilians, the great clan families, and shinobi were all present, as it was the main event marking the ceasefire and honoring the key ninjas who stood out during the war.
