"I'm glad you're alright Mina-kun," said Kushina, squeezing the air out of the said man.

"Kushina, I can't breathe," said Minato. She let him go. "I'm fine. Fugaku is the one that got hit with a genjutsu."

"Next time I'm coming with you."

"No you're not," said Minato, sternly as if he was talking to a child.

"Yes."

"I'm not getting into this with you Kushina."

"I'm coming with you on your next mission."

"You are not," said Minato.

"Oh yes I am. I'm a perfectly capable kunoichi that can kick anyone's ass," said Kushina, temper flaring.

"No, and that's final."

"You're not the boss of me!"

"Kushina you're being difficult."

"No you're being difficult. You treat me like I'm a liability."

"It's not that Kushina."

"Then what is it," asked Kushina. Minato sighed. How was he going to explain to her that he knew that she was perfectly capable in taking care of herself, yet he has this insane urge to protect her? This girl was loud and brash; she came into his life like a whirlwind and is always there.

"I'll tell you someday." He left in a flash.

"HEY MINATO, THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER!" She chased after him. She never give up, she wants to prove herself to him. Kushina knows she is just as good as Minato. She get him to understand someday.
