Chapter 182 October

"Yuto, you guys might have to work hard lately."

Minato Namikaze laughed like a complete fool:

"Kushina's due date is approaching, and I can't work too late at the Hokage Building."

"Congratulations, Minato-senpai." The branch family boy's voice was soft.

"You're going to be a father."

"You should keep it up, Yuto. I've noticed there's a girl from the Anbu who keeps hanging around you."

"Hyuga Shio?" Hyuga Yuto remained noncommittal, handing a scroll to Namikaze Minato:

"As you requested, the place where Kushina-senpai gave birth will be located outside the village. The barrier has already been set up, and the list of ninjas responsible for guarding it is also here."

"Thank you." Minato's azure eyes crinkled with a smile.

"After Naruto is born, I want him to become your student."

Hyuga Yuto neither agreed nor refused, but simply changed the subject:

"Is that child's name Naruto? That's a good name. I've read Jiraiya's 'The Tale of the Steadfast Ninja,' and the protagonist seems to be named Naruto as well."

"Hahaha... You're right. I decided to use this name after reading that book. It means never giving up in any adversity. I hope Naruto can become that kind of person."

……

Minato left Hyuga Yuto's office, saying, "You guys might have a hard time lately," but he was still trying his best to complete his duties as Hokage.

However, it was clear that the young Hokage, who was about to become a father, was really excited. Every few hours, he would come down to chat with Yuto, muttering things like, "I wonder if Naruto's hair is blonde or red," and "Will he like this name?"

After sunset, Minato Namikaze returned home, while Yuto Hyuga stayed in the office to continue handling official business until late at night, when he finally finished everything.

Actually, according to his usual practice, Hinata Yuto would not approve all the documents. No matter which world he was in, there was never enough work to do. He would leave the less important things for tomorrow and do them slowly, which was a good way to balance work and rest.

However, after October, the boy who had separated from his family insisted on completing the tasks for the day without any delay.

Minato felt quite guilty about this hard-working attitude, and he promised that after Naruto was born, he would give Hyuga Yuto a break and leave the work to him alone, just like he did on the western front during the Ninja War.

Hyuga Yuto didn't explain at the time, he just smiled and thanked him, and continued working.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 9th.

noon.

Hinata Yuto stretched and tidied up the desk.

He took out the scroll he had prepared beforehand from the drawer, adjusted his expression, and went upstairs to the Hokage's office.

"Minato-senpai." Hyuga Yuto placed the items on the desk.

"Traces of the Hidden Cloud Village have been discovered in the eastern region of the Land of Fire."

"Let me see." Minato Namikaze glanced at it and frowned.

"What a bunch of warmongers. It seems they've exhausted all their goodwill in saving the Third Raikage. That was expected, but the timing isn't good..."

"I'll go." Hinata Yuto shrugged.

"Kushina-senpai is due to give birth in the next couple of days. The village and she can't do without you. I can manage on my own. I'm sure this is just a test by Kumogakure and won't escalate into a war."

"It's so good to have you here, Yuto." Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man who had separated from the family waved casually, picked up the scroll, and turned to leave.

The instant he touched the doorknob, Minato Namikaze behind him suddenly laughed:

"Yuto, come back soon. As Naruto's future teacher, I want him to see you as soon as possible, hahaha... I've heard that children imitate the things they see when they are born, and you are the most outstanding young man I know, resilient and gentle, a trusted successor to the Will of Fire."

The boy's hand, which was gripping the doorknob, paused slightly.

But in the end, there was no turning back.

"Minato-senpai, I promise you, I will be there on the day the child is born."

……

Donning an Anbu mask and carrying a ninja sword, Hyuga Yuto left Konoha Village alone. He didn't go east, but headed north.

That intelligence scroll was fake.

Of course, in order to deceive Minato, 70% of the contents of the scroll were true, with only minor modifications to the "time," "location," and "the combat power level of the invading enemy."

Thus, what was a cautious probe escalated into a provocative act that required the intervention of the village's experts.

In another week, this clumsy lie will be exposed. Konoha has a self-consistent internal inspection mechanism, and this trick cannot be hidden for long.

However, Hyuga Yuto no longer cared.

By then, no one will care about such a trivial matter.

Hyuga Yuto removed his Konoha gear, put on a black robe and a Hannya mask, and arrived at the agreed location.

Obito and Zetsu are already waiting here.

"Mr. Moon Goddess," Obito Uchiha began, seemingly having learned his lesson from their last meeting, as he spoke with respect.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be giving birth in the next couple of days. What are your plans?"

"Tell me your plan, kid."

"I will release the Nine-Tails and control this powerful monster with my Sharingan, but even with the Sharingan, I'm not guaranteed victory against the Fourth Hokage who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique. Besides, there's Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, and that Yuto Hyuga..." Obito paused, then continued:

"Rumor has it that he has already completed his cultivation of immortal arts."

Behind the Hannya mask, Hyuga Yuto's lips curled up slightly.

As expected, Obito had a way of obtaining Konoha's classified information... but at this moment, none of that mattered.

"Let's proceed according to your plan," Hyuga Yuto said calmly.

"Don't worry about anything else."

"Thank you, Mr. Moon God." Obito Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief.

The Moon Goddess persona that Hyuga Yuto established at the beginning once again came into play.

Even Obito, who was obsessed with Rin, subconsciously thought that Tsukishima was a powerful and arrogant person. Although she was difficult to get along with, such a proud person must be able to keep her word.

The Moon Goddess's prestigious reputation saved Hinata Yuto a lot of trouble.

Without discussing many details, Obito left quickly, seemingly still preparing for battle.

Jue merged into the underground, and before leaving, he gave Hinata Yuto a deep look.

After confirming that both of them had left, the boy who had split up the family lay down casually on a towering cliff, resting his head on his hand, thinking about tomorrow.

Obito was right. Even if he wasn't there, if his teacher, Minato, and Hiruzen were all fighting the Nine-Tails with all their might, the tailed beasts wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

It is necessary to weaken Konoha's fighting strength before the Nine-Tails descends.

But things must be done one at a time... Hinata Yuto stared straight at the sun in the sky, letting the intense light burn his eyes.

Let's deal with those tails first, consider them a dessert before the main course.

He flicked a piece of the Mask of God onto his forehead, and it flew into the sky with a bang and disappeared.

At this moment, there are still... 31 hours until Naruto is born.
