Ayari's belly is getting bigger and bigger, so her appetite has become bigger, her whole body has become rounder, and walking has become inconvenient. She rarely goes out now, but Kushina and Mikoto still visit her from time to time.
.
Shin also regularly spends half of his day with her, and Ayari now only goes out when she is with Shin, because Shin can hold her up with chakra, making it easy for her to walk.
Fortunately, Ayari's mood is very stable and she is basically happy every day, which surprises many people.
I often hear that women become bipolar during pregnancy.
I would bring her some small gifts every day when I came back, bought from some commodity stores in the village. If they were not fresh enough, I would fly to other towns or cities to buy them.
Ayari said that instead of always buying things for themselves, they should also prepare some toys for their children in advance.
The family also hired some professional caregivers to cook nutritious meals suitable for pregnant women every day.
Ayari smiled sincerely and said that it was only when she saw her belly that she thought she was going to be a father.
It was really when the day was getting closer and closer to the birth of my child that I realized this deeply, that I was going to be a father.
Ayari's belly didn't show much in the past few months, and her pregnancy seemed to be just a talk.
Zhen's mood now became very strange, and he himself couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for this unborn child.
Is his child Neji or someone else...
You shouldn't say that, it's definitely not the original Neji, but if it were a boy, his name would still be Neji.
But in the world of Naruto, there is the concept of reincarnation. If we calculate the time, it is really possible that he is the Neji from the original work.
In the afternoon, Zhen finished his work and returned to the clan. Today Kushina came and sat with Ayari in the pavilion to chat.
I really feel that Kushina is more passionate about this child than herself. Every time she touches Ayari's belly for a long time, as if she is carrying her child, which makes me feel helpless and funny.
You have done all the actions, what should I do?
Zhen said: "You like children so much, why don't you just have one yourself?"
Kushina glared at him: "I'm not married yet, how can I say such things to a lady!"
The relationship between the two has also become very familiar, and they talk much more casually.
Zhen was suddenly startled. According to the time, Kushina and Minato were about to get married...
But now Minato is no longer the Hokage, and Kushina is a Jinchuriki. If Minato wants to marry Kushina, he will probably have to get Orochimaru's approval.
Will Orochimaru agree?
I'm really not sure. Orochimaru and Minato used to be in a competitive relationship. Although Orochimaru's current status can be bigger and he doesn't care about it, it's completely justified if he refuses, but it will only intensify the conflict with Minato.
"What are you thinking about?" Kushina asked again at this time.
Zhen smiled slightly: "I was wondering when Minato-senpai would marry you."
Kushina said angrily: "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing!"
She was also resentful about this in her heart, thinking why Minato didn't propose to her yet, did she really want to take the initiative on her own?
Kushina sighed secretly, looking at Ayari's swollen belly in front of her, she also wanted to give Minato a cute baby.
It wasn't just Kushina who was troubled by this, but of course Minato as well.
Although Minato was not that romantic, he was not a straight man either. Of course he knew what Kushina was expecting.
But Kushina didn't realize that getting married was not an easy task due to her status.
Originally, in Minato's plan, after becoming Hokage, he could marry Kushina without any hindrance.
Even if it takes some time, the Third Hokage will not embarrass them when they are in power, but will bring them together.
But now the Sandaime Hokage has resigned. Not only has he resigned, he has never interfered with the affairs of the village since then. Minato once visited the Third Hokage, but the Third Hokage he saw was just an ordinary old man.
image.
The current Konoha Village is completely out of his control.
Minato knew that he couldn't really wait until the day he succeeded as Hokage before marrying Kushina. Orochimaru was now in his prime, and if he had to wait for the day when he would step down as Hokage, he would have to wait until the year of the monkey.
He had no choice but to ask Orochimaru for instructions and express his desire to marry Kushina, hoping that the Hokage would approve it.
However, Orochimaru's reply was that the jinchūriki's body was not suitable for childbirth.
This was already a rejection, and Minato's heart instantly sank.
At this moment, he clearly felt that after losing the position of Hokage, he really lost a lot.
Every time he saw Kushina again, Minato felt extremely guilty and didn't know how to respond to her expectations.
Should we just go and tell her that the Hokage doesn't allow us to get married because of your status as a Jinchuriki?
In desperation, Minato had no choice but to turn to Shikaku for help, hoping that he would give him some advice, but Shikaku was unable to help with this kind of thing.
Some time ago, the clans of the major families were readjusted, and the three families of Ino, Deer, and Butterflies were all moved to areas near the outskirts of the village. On the contrary, Uchiha's treatment was much better than before.
This is also expected. Who in the village doesn't know that they, Ino Shikacho, were once die-hard supporters of Namikaze Minato. It is normal for Orochimaru to exclude them from the center of power. We can only wait until the future to plan for this kind of thing.
Already.
Shikaku said he could only find a way to persuade Orochimaru and offer conditions that Orochimaru would agree to.
But what bargaining chips do they have now? The whole of Konoha is under the control of Orochimaru. Minato himself is not a family ninja. If I have to say that I have the confidence, it is still the Ino, Shika and Butterfly family.
Shikaku thought about it and finally gave Minato an idea.
"Minato, why don't you go to Hinata's place and try it?"
Minato couldn't help but be stunned.
real……
As the deputy of the Hokage, Hyuga Shin has sufficient strength and fame. Now his status in the village can be said to be second only to Orochimaru.
Moreover, Orochimaru is basically indifferent to the political affairs of the village, so it is understandable to say that Konoha is now in charge.
At least, for most matters, there is really no need to ask Orochimaru's opinion.
"Maybe you can get the Hokage's consent through him." Shikaku said to Minato.
Minato had a pretty good relationship with Makoto. They had fought together before, and when he was seriously injured, Makoto found him and brought him back to the camp.
But this kind of relationship only exists on the battlefield. There are no political parties or factions on the battlefield. Everyone is a companion.
But after the war, the relationship between the two suddenly faded a lot. They almost never interacted with each other intentionally, and they only met and said hello occasionally.
On the contrary, Kushina often goes to Hinata's house because she and Makoto's wife have become close best friends.
Minato was thinking there, it seemed that this was the only way at the moment.
