Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 350 Kushina: I can't say it...

Konoha Hospital:

Kushina came to check her body with a satisfied look on her face.

She is currently two months pregnant, but her pregnancy is not very noticeable.

Even her belly was very flat.

If Kushina hadn't suddenly felt nauseous and developed a craving for sour foods, matching all the signs of pregnancy, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have thought to bring her for a checkup.

After all, although the two had been trying to conceive, there was no doubt that they hadn't made any progress.

This unexpected and successful pregnancy brought them both happiness, but there were undoubtedly many things that needed to be addressed.

Kushina is also a ninja, but unlike Minato Namikaze, who has already become a Jonin, Kushina is still a Chunin. It's not that she lacks the ability, but Minato Namikaze felt that if Kushina were to become a Jonin, she might be assigned to missions outside the village, which would mean she would be less likely to be able to gather with the villagers, and she might even get injured during the Jonin Exams.

Therefore, after discussing it, Minato Namikaze and Kushina decided that Kushina would not be promoted to Jonin until she gave birth to the child.

Now that Kushina is pregnant, there are many more things to consider.

"Hmm, no problem. Strictly speaking, before four months of pregnancy, you just need to be careful not to eat anything too outrageous, and be careful with medication as usual."

Because the matter was of great importance, Tsunade also came.

Oh, don't get me wrong. If it were just a pregnancy, it wouldn't be a big deal. The main problem is that the pregnant person is the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Although we don't know how Kurama (the Nine-Tails) fared inside Kushina's belly, one thing is certain.

That was when Kushina was at her weakest during childbirth.

As for the Nine-Tails itself...

Yeah, he's basically been ruined by Kushina now.

That's not what Tsunade and Yua were worried about.

Rather, it's a similar situation to the Nine-Tailed Night in another world.

Who can be sure that someone won't suddenly jump out and pull the Nine-Tails out of Kushina's stomach and cause trouble?

Although Obito is currently 14 years old and theoretically shouldn't be able to cause trouble, who knows?

What if it's some kind of worthless, so-called corrective power?

Therefore, Yua still needs to insure Kushina.

"Thank you so much, Lady Tsunade!" Minato Namikaze and Kushina both showed great respect for Tsunade.

Yua didn't have much to say about this. To be honest, in terms of respect, Yua was not as good as Tsunade.

After all, Yuya's identity meant that there would be some distance between him and most of the villagers in Konoha.

Youya no longer cared about this.

Tsunade waved her hand: "If you understand, then go back. Remember to come back once a month. Also, if you can, spend more time with Kushina. As for your job, Kushina, we'll transfer you to an office position for the next few months. You'll also get maternity leave for the month before and the month after you give birth."

Yu Ya's standard for maternity leave is one month before and after delivery. Of course, sometimes the due date may be shorter or longer than expected because the due date is not accurate.

At this point, if the difference between your due date and actual delivery date is less than two months, you will be given two extra months; if it's more than that, it's up to you.

Anyway, a two-month due date means two months' salary.

If you have fewer days off than the required number, you'll get a few more days off, and your salary will still be paid.

If there are many days, then pay for fewer days.

Unless it's a situation where the due date is delayed by more than a month, then it's a matter of the hospital's due date, and the hospital will pay for the extra month's salary.

You Ya said, "I can let your due date have an error, but a margin of error of one month is sixty days, which is too outrageous. The hospital should definitely be held responsible."

Of course, at least so far, nothing like that has happened.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Minato Namikaze quickly replied, "I've already applied to our captain for a year's rest before going back."

Upon hearing this, Yua looked at Minato Namikaze in surprise: "A year's rest?"

Then he looked at Kushina: "You're really good to Kushina. But isn't it okay to take a year off? How much savings do you have?"

Every Jonin in Konoha Village, unless they are "officially" in a position, is a Jonin.

Those who work in the Konoha Ninja Army or official organizations cannot take leave voluntarily. They need to give a month's notice, or at least half a month's notice. If they want to take a long leave, they have to resign.

Of course, Minato Namikaze was just an ordinary "Jonin" and was not officially employed.

Therefore, he only needs to make the announcement this month, and he can take a year's leave next month.

As for the job situation a year from now...

Konoha Village is already short of people, let alone a Jonin.

However, You Ya's concerns are not without merit.

Compared to those with formal employment contracts, Minato Namikaze, who doesn't have a formal employment contract, shouldn't theoretically be able to save much money in a month.

After all, if you have a permanent position, you get free meals and accommodation, as well as various subsidies every month, including housing allowance, phone allowance, electricity allowance, water allowance, and so on.

To put it another way, if you have a government-affiliated position and receive a monthly salary of 800,000 taels of silver, you can save it all because there's nowhere to spend the money.

However, someone like Minato Namikaze has to spend his own money everywhere. If he can save 500,000 taels out of 800,000 taels a month, he can be considered very frugal.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head after hearing Yua's words and said, "I also have some side jobs, so I should have enough money."

You Ya was taken aback, then leaned closer and asked suspiciously, "What side hustle?"

Minato Namikaze blushed awkwardly and remained silent.

Kushina Uzumaki, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "It's writing novels, you know. Writing novels can bring in two or three hundred thousand ryo each month."

Yuya was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Minato Namikaze by the neck: "You little rascal, you're something else! Did you copy your good-for-nothing teacher Jiraiya?!"

Then Yua whispered to Minato Namikaze, "What kind of book are you writing? Is it exciting or not? What's the title?"

Minato Namikaze was covered in a cascade of sweat.

Tsunade, annoyed, pinched Yua's ear and said awkwardly to Minato and Kushina, "Sorry, sorry, this guy is always acting stupid!"

"No, no, no! It's alright, it's alright!" The young couple didn't dare to say anything.

Tsunade, holding Yua by the ear, prepared to leave. Before leaving, Yua clung to the doorframe and asked Minato Namikaze, "Send me the book title later. And one more thing, Kushina! That Nine-Tails guy..."

"You've been behaving yourself lately, haven't you?"

Tsunade, hearing this, turned to look at Kushina: "Kushina, the Nine-Tails is with you; it's not causing trouble, is it?"

Kushina remained silent for a moment.

She was a little unsure how to begin.

Because inside her sealed space...

Nine-Tailed Fox was clutching the fox's head and howling in pain:

"I've fallen again! I've fallen back to Platinum I! Why?! Why can't I ever reach Diamond?!!"

It's a little... hard to say...
