Betrayal

Summary:

Minato: "Betrayed...by my own wife..."
Or...
Kushina loves a good joke.

Notes:

Technically this is a direct sequel/continuation of a previous short in this folder, "I've Got A Plan (A Good Plan)" and "Rumors"...and you might need to read those for context. May, mind, but you may not...just sayin'.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Kushina: (runs up after decimating several enemy shinobi) "Hey guys! Still alive?!"

Fugaku: (takes out several enemies of his own) "Stayin' alive."

Inoichi: (takes out his own enemies; gives Fugaku a thumbs down) "Boo!"

Shikaku: (eye roll) "Terrible pun, Uchiha!"

Chouza: (shrugs; quietly) "I don't know, I mean, I thought it was kind of funny."

Fugaku: "Fuck you, Yamanaka! Fuck you, Nara!" (looks at Chouza) "You're fine, Akimichi."

Kushina: (grins) "Situation's looking kinda bad, eh boys?" (rubs hands together) "Shall I release our "Super Secret Weapon of Mass Destruction"?"

Inoichi, Shikaku, Chouza: (all share a confused look)

Fugaku: (smirks) "Oh...hell yes. Make me proud, Red!"

[Kushina braces herself, cupping her hands around her mouth...takes a deep breath and...]

Kushina: "RELEASE THE HOUSEWIFE!!!!"

=Ten Minutes Later=

[Inoichi, Shikaku, Chouza losing their collective shit in laughter: i.e. Chouza in tears, Inoichi laughing without making noise, and Shikaku wheezing]

Kushina: (fist pump in the air) "WHOO!!! Best jutsu EVER!!"

Fugaku: (mimes wiping his eye; grins) "I am so proud."

Minato: (distraught and sulking in a crouch against a tree) "Betrayed...by my own wife..."

Mikoto: (fighting a grin while petting Minato on the head like he's a puppy) "There, there."

Notes:

Please...ffs, do not take this seriously.
This scene popped into my brain jello at work and, as I would fail at drawing it in comic form, I had to write it out.
I'll see myself out to the trash can.
