Chapter 32 Chakra Overflow!

"Judging by the dates, Kushina-sensei's delivery date should be in the next day or two."

"I don't know if all the efforts we made before will have any real effect."

Morning light streamed through the window and into the room. Feeling the light before him, Shinichi Hinata lay quietly on the bed for more than ten minutes before slowly getting up.

He glanced at the calendar pinned to the wall, then his gaze followed it to the window.

The Hyuga clan's compound is located in the center of Konoha, and there are no tall buildings around it. Shinichi Hyuga's window faces the Hokage Rock of Konoha.

His gaze fell on the Hokage Rock of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Not long ago, Hyuga Hizashi and other elite members of the Hyuga clan, who were responsible for protecting Kushina during her childbirth, returned to the clan's territory.

At that time, Shinichi invited Hizashi's family to his home under the guise of a family dinner. After the meal, Shinichi subtly inquired about the arrangements for Kushina's guard mission from Hizashi.

Despite the secret mission, Hijiri made no attempt to hide anything from his exceptionally talented nephew.

In the eyes of the Hyuga clan, the rules of the Hyuga family are greater than the rules of the village.

When Shinichi heard that the Hyuga clan members were not assigned to guard Kushina's delivery room, but only to guard outside the sealing barrier, he had a bad feeling.

Obito Uchiha mastered a space-time ninjutsu at the level of Kamui, although it is unclear how he managed to use the spatial coordinates within Kushina's delivery room to achieve spatial jumps.

However, one thing is certain: if members of the Hyuga clan were not assigned to guard the delivery room, they would not have been able to arrive in time if something happened.

In this regard, Shinichi also revealed that he had seen the man with the tiger-striped mask when he was training at Minato's house. He also told Hyuga Hizashi about Obito Uchiha's abilities in as much detail as possible.

At the same time, Shinichi also instructed Hyuga Hizashi to try to persuade the Fourth Hokage to grant them the task of being close bodyguards for the Hyuga clan.

Hizashi was completely unaware of much of the information Shinichi Hyuga revealed. Upon hearing Shinichi's words, Hizashi clearly realized that his nephew seemed to know something. He stared at Shinichi's face for a long time before nodding emphatically in agreement.

His nephew had shown amazing talent since childhood, and now, under the guidance of Lady Kushina, he had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. His future was limitless, and he would surely become a promising talent for the Hyuga clan.

Richa naturally took his nephew's arrangements to heart.

Moreover... if his nephew is right, this escort mission is probably not as easy as he imagined.

In the world of ninjas, accidents often lead to death.

His son Neji was still young, and Hizashi didn't want his son to lose his father so early. Even in this branch family of the Hyuga clan, Hizashi hoped his son could grow up healthy and strong!

After the uncle and nephew finished talking, Shinichi gave Hyuga Hizashi eight kunai that had been marked with the Flying Thunder God seal. Hizashi would then hand these kunai over to the other Hyuga clan ninjas who were responsible for protecting Kushina.

At this point, Shinichi Hyuga had completed all his arrangements.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

Shinichi Hyuga felt he had done everything he could at this stage, and now it was up to fate to decide what would happen next!

Getting up and walking to the door of his room, Shinichi Hyuga slowly closed his eyes, carefully sensing his Flying Thunder God coordinates.

His mastery of the Flying Thunder God technique is still in its early stages. He needs to calm down and carefully perceive spatial coordinates at a slightly longer distance. Although he cannot compare with the Fourth Hokage, who is an expert in the Flying Thunder God technique, he is on par with the Fourth Hokage's future grandson, Grandpa Hiro.

"Three Flying Thunder God spatial coordinates have converged together."

"Two Hyuga clan ninjas came to protect Kushina-sensei..."

As he carefully sensed the location of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shinichi slowly opened his eyes, and his furrowed brows finally relaxed.

Since giving Hyuga those Flying Thunder God Kunai to him, he would carefully sense them every morning. Some time ago, the Hyuga clan members were still responsible for the outer perimeter defense, but today, things have changed. This change made Shinichi feel a little more at ease.

After all, compared to the Hokage's direct ANBU, the Hyuga clan's elites were undoubtedly more reassuring to Shinichi.

...

The dim cave was illuminated by the candlelight all around.

Since noon today, Kushina has clearly felt something was wrong. Although her water hasn't broken and there are no signs of labor yet, the Nine-Tails inside her is obviously becoming restless.

Even with the Four Symbols Seal strengthened by Minato, it was still impossible to completely prevent the Nine-Tails' chakra from leaking out.

"Minato, hurry! You need to start reinforcing the seal on the Tailed Beasts!"

"We can't let the Nine-Tails' chakra leak out like this. A newborn can't withstand this level of chakra at such close range!"

Biwako was the medical ninja who delivered Kushina's baby, and she was assisted by a young female medical ninja named Taro.

At this moment, the two medical ninjas stood around Kushina's bedside, their bodies tensing as they sensed the tailed beast chakra emanating from her.

The older Biwako was alright, after all, she was the wife of three generations and had seen her share of big events. But the younger Tianlu was clearly less composed; seeing Kushina enveloped in red chakra, her legs trembled slightly.

Upon hearing the shouts, Minato rushed over instantly. While calming the medical ninja, he chatted with his wife with a smile. As he spoke, his hands gently caressed Kushina's lower abdomen. Instantly, the seal was strengthened, and the Nine-Tails' chakra gradually receded back into Kushina's body.

Minato's calm and composed demeanor influenced everyone around him. When the young Tian Lu saw Minato like this, her heart, which had been pounding, was finally at ease.

In the delivery room.

Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Daiki exchanged a glance, both reading a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.

Even before birth, there was an overflow of tailed beast chakra; it's unknown what will happen during the actual birth.

The two Hyuga clan ninjas were allowed by the Fourth Hokage to enter the delivery room to provide protection. In addition to the two of them, they were accompanied by four Anbu ninjas, making a total of six people in the internal security team.

In fact, Minato hesitated when faced with Hizashi's request to enter the delivery room to protect him.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is, after all, a kind of X-ray vision, and Minato did have some ulterior motives regarding Kushina's privacy.

However, when it comes to Kushina's safety, this matter becomes less important.

Of course, he spent some time with Hizashi and Hyuga Daiki and developed trust in their character before changing the guards.

The leak of Nine-Tails' chakra also put Hizashi, Daiki, and the other guards on high alert.

Time, too, slips away unnoticed.

Chapter 33 The Night of Childbirth!

The sun is westward.

After a long day of training, Shinichi Hyuga took a quick shower and then quietly returned to his room.

10 month 10 day.

After glancing at the calendar on the wall, Shinichi Hyuga sat down quietly to conserve his energy and chakra, which he had used up during training.

I don't know if the preparations I've made will be effective. This matter concerns my own safety, so I absolutely cannot take it lightly and must be extremely vigilant.

While Shinichi Hyuga was on high alert, Konoha Village was also under heavy guard tonight.

The Third Hokage sat upright in his office, showing no intention of leaving even when it was time to "get off work," quietly waiting for good news from his wife.

Meanwhile, Fugaku, who had previously been tasked by the Third and Fourth Hokage to investigate Obito Uchiha's whereabouts, was also busy out tonight and had not returned home even when it was time for dinner.

After this period of investigation, although they did not capture Obito Uchiha, under Fugaku's leadership, they did discover some clues about Obito's existence.

The place where Obito left the most information was actually the Naka Shrine in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Inside the shrine, there is a stone tablet that has been passed down since the time of the Sage of Six Paths. The stronger one's Sharingan eye power, the clearer one can see the contents of the stone tablet.

Noticing that the other party appeared most frequently in this place, Fugaku Uchiha realized that his guess might be true: the other party, like himself, had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!

This discovery immediately put Fugaku on high alert, making him even more focused on finding the other party. In fact, he even stopped going home for dinner.

Fugaku's wife, Mikoto, was the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother. Knowing that her husband would not be home for dinner, she would start preparing lunchboxes early in the morning. After preparing dinner for her son Itachi, she would entrust her younger son, Sasuke, to Itachi's care, while she herself would go out to deliver food to Fugaku.

Mikoto had complete confidence in Itachi; her eldest son was a genius in every way. In fact, Itachi sometimes did a better job of caring for Sasuke than she, as his mother, ever did.

The bright moon rises.

Itachi Uchiha sat on the veranda in front of the courtyard with Sasuke in his arms, gently patting Sasuke with one hand, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

“…”

Perhaps it was the terrifying talent of the Uchiha clan manifesting itself in Itachi, or perhaps it was a genius's sixth sense; in any case, Itachi sensed something extraordinary.

"Sasuke, no matter what happens, your brother will protect you!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at the bright moon in the sky and murmured softly, his eyes full of determination.

...

"Wow ah ah-"

"It hurts so much—"

Kushina's painful screams became a true "surround sound" in the cave. At this moment, all she wanted to do was drag her two best friends to her side and question them about what they meant by "giving birth doesn't hurt at all."

Kushina's voice even penetrated the thick rock wall, and could be heard clearly even by the ANBU ninjas guarding outside.

Inside the delivery room, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Daiki involuntarily turned their heads slightly upon hearing such a loud noise, but they quickly returned their attention to themselves.

Using their white eyes, the two stood on opposite sides of the cave, taking in everything inside and outside the delivery room.

Several members of the secret service gathered in front of the cave's stone gate and guarded the entrance.

"that..."
