AN: I'm sorry, but the chapter 28 is the last part this story has; I decided to step into the play at this moment of the story, as the main pairing of the story didn't have much of the future and from some time playing with Daichi was just simply painful. The character of Kazekage was a chauvinistic hooligan who needed a strong leader whom he could follow – which meant clear rules, a charismatic personality and with dose of respect to his own culture as he was brought up in strong beliefs that couldn't be shaken even with belonging to the massive crowd of every race, village and country. Minato on the other hand was a girl who was emotionally damaged; she didn't understand that actions had consequences and wanted to simply beat both Daichi and Kushina to obedience, forgetting about the fact that when you use stick you have to toss carrot sometimes too. She also took them away from their training, making them both work at hospital, which was maybe not the worst, but actually useless job for both of them, without having the purpose for it; they were not supposed to learn how to heal people or actually learn at all – all job their did was only to pay off the debts they caused. And as much as it was a good choice to do something about the money, their beliefs were headed toward the fact they were punished and something was taken away from them instead of understanding that what they did previously was wrong.
Also, the romance between Daichi and Minato got shred to nothing; Minato didn't get soon enough that she liked the redhead and Daichi, who got constantly belittled and kicked around by his love interest lost his warm feelings toward her. After making him look bad in the eyes of his master it was slowly led to doom as even something like pity or sense of the fact she did something wrong didn't reach Minato and Daichi couldn't overcome his lack of respect toward women, as neither Kushina or Minato showed him that female kind was not the worst. The idea of Minato trying to be nice with cooking for the redhead was not bad, but it came much too late. Thus, the characters didn't tune into the same song and the story was leading to rather bland ending where everyone were hurt and unsatisfied.
Nevertheless, thanks for reading it and I hope you enjoyed at least part of it.

P.S. I'm desperately searching for BETA reader. Is there anyone who'd like to volunteer? I'd be very grateful.
