In a mansion in Konoha Village, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely serious. The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his wife, Lake Biwa, were sitting in a tense manner, and opposite them was a young couple.
"Kushina, as we are about to give birth, there are some things that I need to explain to you clearly."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the red-haired pregnant woman in front of him with a solemn expression, and spoke in an admonishing tone.
Uzumaki Kushina also had a serious expression. It was rare for the Third Hokage and his wife to come to her house at such a late hour. She had probably guessed the reason.
Because tomorrow is her due date, her husband Minato had revealed to her in advance that because of her status as a Jinchuuriki, the village's senior officials might make special arrangements for her when she gave birth. But something she didn't expect was that until she gave birth,
This notice and arrangement were only conveyed to her the day before.
However, it was very surprising that the Sandaime came to deliver the message in person.
Probably understanding Kushina's thoughts, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued at this time: "Because of the precedent of his predecessor, Mito-sama, the Nine-Tails is very likely to break the seal when the female Jinchuuriki gives birth. In order to be prepared, tomorrow
I have to force you to give birth in a barrier a little far away from the village."
Kushina was slightly startled by the third generation's words. Although she had already understood that her status as a Jinchuriki was quite special, she never expected that she would do this just in case. She was kept away from the village to give birth, no doubt for fear of the Kyuubi accident.
Breaking the seal caused huge losses to Konoha Village.
Although she has long been accustomed to having the Nine-Tails in her body and being treated unfairly in various ways since she was a child, she will inevitably feel a sense of loss every time she encounters such a thing.
"As for the seal, I will also be by your side during delivery."
At this time, a gentle voice sounded from beside her, and then Kushina felt a warm hand holding her right hand on the table.
There was no doubt that the familiar temperature came from her husband Minato Namikaze. She turned around and saw the tall blond man, as always, looking at him with a gentle and reassuring sunny smile.
Hold her.
Sure enough, even though they had been together for so many years, her husband Minato's sunny smile was still so contagious and charming in her eyes, making her involuntarily feel like she was falling. She didn't know what she thought of, her
An imperceptible blush appeared on his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who pretended not to notice these details, continued: "Minato, Anbu Taji, and my wife Biwako will all be with you then."
"All of this must be done in secret."
Kushina nodded. Biwako was the middle-aged woman sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time. She was about 50 years old like the third generation. I heard that she was two consultants in the administrative department, Mitomon.
Yanhe moved to work as a clerk next to Xiaochun.
The Anbu's Taji is a senior medical ninja, and having them deliver babies is reassuring.
"Of course, my Zhili Anbu will also be responsible for guarding..."
Finally, Sandai finally thought about the security issues and added.
After explaining all these matters, he lowered his head and drank tea.
"After finishing what I'm doing, I'll go there in advance to prepare..."
After seeing the third generation finished speaking, Minato Namikaze's voice sounded again at the right time. Then Kushina felt the palm covering her hand and squeezed herself softly. And she subconsciously held it with her backhand, fascinated.
He smiled normally.
After a long time, Minato Namikaze left.
Obviously, as the current Hokage, there are still many things to deal with, especially since he has to leave the village in person tomorrow to take on the important task of protecting the jinchūriki's delivery. Arrangements in advance are of course essential.
Faced with the intimate interaction between the two young couples in front of her, even Biwako felt slightly embarrassed this time. As a last resort, she also chose the same tactic as Sarutobi Hiruzen to drink tea.
It wasn't until Minato disappeared that Lake Biwa said, "Kushina, I will take you outside the village tomorrow..."
"..."
What made her embarrassed again was that Kushina didn't seem to hear her words. The latter was looking at the direction Minato left, still with a silly expression on his face.
"Ahem, Kushina!" Biwako had to increase her voice.
"Ah...yes."
Kushina, who finally came back to her senses, was a little embarrassed. She smiled shyly and hurriedly responded: "Thank you, Lord Biwa..."
"..."
At this time, the village was brightly lit, and the streets of Konoha Village at night were constantly flowing with people and extremely prosperous.
It has been almost three years since the Third Ninja War. Although Konoha faced enemies from all sides in the last war and paid a great price to win, Konoha, as the largest nation in the Fire Nation,
The village has a very strong ability to recover after the war. Even though it is no longer as strong as Konoha during the first and second generations, it is far ahead of the other four countries, but it is still the leader in the national power of the five major countries.
The Konoha ninjas and villagers walking through the streets did not know that on the Hokage Yanyan, above the stone statue of the Fourth Hokage on the far right, a man in black robe wearing a one-eyed tiger pattern mask was watching indifferently.
Looking at the bustling scene below.
For a long time, he didn't say a word. His figure didn't move at all, as if he had melted into the surrounding darkness.
If you look carefully, you can see that the one eye exposed under his mask is a red three-magatama Sharingan...
"Ah, do you also miss your hometown?"
At some point, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The next second, a humanoid figure with light green hair and a white body emerged from beneath the masked man.
"What are you doing here?" The masked man did not answer, and he did not show the slightest surprise or surprise at the sudden appearance of the person next to him. Instead, he asked in an unhappy tone.
"It's really cold..." The white humanoid didn't seem to be angry after being questioned. He just complained a little and continued to say in a sinister manner: "My mission here is of course to help you."
"Are you looking down on me?" The masked man snorted, and finally turned his head and glanced at the White Jue clone.
At the same time, the three magatama Sharingan under his mask suddenly erupted with a burst of eerie light, which caught people's attention.
"I have made complete preparations. Even if the Jinchuuriki is protected by a golden flash, it cannot hinder my plan to destroy Konoha!"
"Although I am looking forward to this showdown between master and apprentice, it seems that the Kyuubi alone cannot destroy Konoha, right?" the White Zetsu clone said with a slightly innocent tone. He seemed to be completely unable to sense what Obito was showing at this time.
He exuded a general murderous aura.
Of course, Uchiha Obito understood that the truth was indeed what the White Zetsu clone said. The reason why he came up with this idea was because he accidentally heard Kakashi in front of the memorial tablet in Konoha, accidentally saying that Kushina was about to give birth.
After hearing the news, he came up with the idea of using the Kyuubi to destroy Konoha.
But at this moment, he was still in a somewhat crazy state. Especially when he looked at the brightly lit and prosperous Konoha Village below, the cold hatred and despair continued to grow in his heart.
"Perhaps I should remind you that what you are about to do is not in Madara-sama's plan." Bai Jue's tone was relaxed and playful.
Assisting Obito to complete the Eye of the Moon plan is Uchiha Madara's top priority for Zetsu.
"Madara-sama?" After mentioning this name, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but fell into a brief silence. At this time, his expression was also blocked by the mask and no one could see it.
After a long time, a colder voice suddenly came from under the mask: "It seems I should remind you that I am Uchiha Madara now!"
…
Late at night, at the home of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Shuikan.
After Sandai and Biwako left, Kushina hummed a song and did some housework as usual. Although she was about to give birth, her pregnancy was not an obstacle at all to her.
After doing all this, she sat on the sofa and rested again. Although it was already time to go to bed, she was not sleepy. She glanced at the ajar door on the side and could see inside through the crack in the door.
The lights are still on.
That room was the study room where Namikaze Minato worked.
Kushina Uzumaki tiptoed toward her husband's study with her pregnant belly. But just as she walked outside the door, she vaguely heard some strange sounds coming from the study.
