"Xin, Minato?" Nawaki looked surprised when he saw them. "What are you two doing on the front lines?"
"We came with your sister. She told us to find you," Xin explained, spreading his hands. They were in unfamiliar territory, so sticking with Nawaki wasn't too bad. At least they wouldn't be randomly targeted, even if the work turned out to be hard.
They were on the front lines now-did they really expect an easy life? That was out of the question.
"That's great!" Nawaki exclaimed, pulling them into the tent. Embarrassed, he quickly tidied up the messy space. "It's a bit chaotic since I've been living here alone. You guys can stay with me from now on. This is one of the safest spots in the camp, so there's no risk of enemy attacks. You can rest easy here."
I finally understand why Tsunade is such a slob. It must run in the Senju family. Xin thought to himself. The sister is a mess, and so is the brother.
"It's fine; we'll help clean up. Right, Xin?" Minato nudged Xin, signaling him to start helping.
On the way here, Xin and Tsunade had been constantly teasing each other, leaving Minato with frayed nerves. But while Tsunade and Xin were close, Nawaki's relationship with them was just average.
Now wasn't the time to embarrass Nawaki.
Xin wasn't clueless, nor did he intend to make things difficult for Nawaki. Just as Minato thought, even though they weren't particularly close to Nawaki, they still had to maintain a certain level of respect. It wasn't like with Tsunade, where Xin could tease her without worry.
The three of them quickly got to work, and it wasn't long before they had the tent cleaned up. Both Xin and Minato were handy with their hands, and neither wanted to live in a dirty smelly space.
In this terrible environment, getting a good night's sleep was already a luxury. The least they could do was make themselves as comfortable as possible.
After some hard work, they finally finished cleaning up. As they took a break, Xin casually asked, "By the way, what exactly are we supposed to be doing? Didn't Orochimaru take you to the battlefield?"
"Sensei said I should stay in camp to gain some experience first. He'll take me to the battlefield later," Nawaki explained, his face filled with admiration as he mentioned Orochimaru. Clenching his fists, he confidently declared, "I'll study hard under Orochimaru- sensei and become a powerful shinobi like my grandfather, to protect Konoha, my family, and the villagers."
"Ahaha..." Minato scratched his head awkwardly. Nawaki's ambition seemed even more unrealistic than his own. Minato only wanted to become Hokage, but Nawaki? He wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hashirama Senju, something most people wouldn't even dream of.
It helped that Nawaki's grandfather was Hashirama. If anyone else had such lofty ambitions, they'd be laughed at.
At the very least, Minato was too shy to go around saying he wanted to be Hokage, to bring peace to the ninja world, and end all wars.
