Unprepared!

Wuyue inwardly gasped, looking at Lin with a strange expression. She then said, "Um... before you go out, let's... let's get acquainted with the adult world first!"

Eh?

Nohara Rin froze, her cheeks flushing red. Clearly, the girl had grasped the deeper meaning behind her words. And, she didn't seem to object?

357 Questions about names

Konoha South Street, Mugetsu's residence.

Standing in front of a cabinet door, Kushina stood on tiptoe, seemingly wanting to reach the clothes on the upper shelf. However, the difference in height between her and the distance between the clothes was too great, and coupled with her physical limitations, her fingers could only touch the edges of the clothes.

"Waaah!"

Due to the force of inertia, her center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and she was about to fall backward.

"Kushina!" Just then, Miyu suddenly caught her from behind. "Idiot, you idiot! Why did you do something so dangerous?!" Her tone was tinged with surprise and fear.

Hearing the noise, Yekura, Samui, and Yugito rushed over to help, quickly laying Kushina flat. They then supported her like bodyguards protecting an important figure.

Under normal circumstances, the girls wouldn't have panicked so much. After all, Kushina was also a very skilled ninja. Even if she was about to fall, she could use her agility to protect herself before hitting the ground.

But things are different now!

Because she is not alone now! Inside her belly is the youngest life in the Wuyue family! How can she be allowed to act recklessly?

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it should be alright."

"Oh, that was almost trouble."

"Huff, should we get a checkup?"

The girls pushed Kushina down into a chair and started discussing amongst themselves.

"Isn't this kind of checkup a bit too much?" Kushina, heavily pregnant, looked exasperated. Even though it felt nice to be cared for, wasn't this going too far?

"You're the one who's being ridiculous! You knew you were pregnant, why did you do something so stupid?" Miyu scolded, clearly displeased. To be honest, she had just been terrified.

"I... I just saw you guys were so busy, and I wanted to get involved too." Kushina scratched her head and said, "Even washing Mugetsu's clothes would be nice. It's so boring watching you do this."

“Your honesty is the greatest help you can give us, Lady Kushina.” Yekura sighed and said, “Master’s inauguration ceremony is in two months, and I don’t want anything to go wrong then.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Miyu chimed in. “You should just focus on your pregnancy. Honestly, you’re about to become a mother, why are you acting like a carefree teenage girl!”

"But sitting here like this is so boring," Kushina complained, her face drooping. "It's so boring it's about to explode!"

Uh.

The girls exchanged glances, all wearing helpless expressions. After a moment of silence, Miyu said, "Since you're so eager to help, why don't you go for a walk in the streets and buy us some things we need? However, it's essential that Mokuto and Samui accompany you."

……

……

With a goal in mind and tasks to complete, Kushina finally radiated a newfound glory, her pregnant belly swaying as she embarked on her errand-running mission. A smug expression even graced her face.

In fact, this is quite understandable. After all, since Miyu suspected she was pregnant months ago, she had been under intense "surveillance." And after the pregnancy was confirmed, this "surveillance" even turned into control. Even most of her freedom was restricted.

For example, activities such as going on adventures, intense ninja training, and cooking classes were all prohibited. The reason given was that it was for the sake of the healthy and lively growth of the baby in her womb.

You see, a lively and energetic girl like Kushina is most afraid of having her freedom restricted. Naturally, she strongly opposed it. However, under the combined pressure from Tsunade and the other girls, this opposition was completely meaningless and was instantly suppressed.

She could only stay at home and rest peacefully during her pregnancy, even taking baths was done by Yecang and the other girls. It was practically queen-like treatment.

But this was precisely what troubled Kushina. She simply couldn't get used to this kind of life! Especially at this time, everyone was busy preparing for Mugetsu's inauguration as Hokage, while she sat in the living room like an idiot watching everyone work. What was this? It was so frustrating! She wanted to be a part of this family too; she wanted to help!

Therefore, she would be very happy even if she was assigned to do such trivial things.

Walking down the street, having bought everything she needed, Kushina was still completely satisfied, even though she was panting heavily. She declined Yukito and Samui's offer to help carry her things, and humming a little tune, headed home.

"Huh? Isn't that Kushina?"

Just as I reached the head of a small arched bridge, I suddenly heard a surprised shout.

Well?

Kushina turned her head slightly. "Ah, it's Mikoto. It's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time." Uchiha Mikoto walked over quickly.

Kushina then noticed that her belly was also quite prominent. "Huh? Are you planning to have a second child?"

"Yes, yes." A hint of unease flashed across Mikoto's face. "You're almost due, aren't you?" She had actually heard from Yui that Kushina was also pregnant with Muzuki's child, so she asked the question quite frankly.

"Probably two more months," Kushina calculated briefly, then said, "More importantly, have you and your partner named your child yet?"

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Tenzuki. If it's a girl, we'll name her Yuzuki," Mikoto nodded and said.

"Hmm, they all seem to be related to the moon." Kushina sensed something, but didn't think much of it. "Well, my little one... I'm going to name him Mirai, regardless of gender. Uzumaki Mirai!"

358 Shadow Asura

The land of fields is nestled among majestic and beautiful mountains.

Shhhhhh.

Several figures moved swiftly through the dense forest. They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, appearing as ordinary people, yet their speed was extremely fast. Moreover, their steps were synchronized and their movements were orderly, clearly indicating that they were not as simple as they appeared.

"Captain Ray, the border of the Land of Fire is just two kilometers ahead," a muscular man with a square face suddenly said, turning his head. "To avoid being discovered by those people from Konoha, should we slow down?"

“There’s no need.” The gaunt man named Ray waved his hand and said, “According to our intelligence, Konoha has not set up any outposts in this area. Let’s speed up our advance into the Land of Fire first.”

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the group quickened their pace again, leaving trails of afterimages in the dense forest.

Boom!

Just then, a huge fireball suddenly attacked from the side. Flames shot up and rapidly rolled towards the group.

"Oh no!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Quickly open!"

The group scattered and dodged at incredible speed. With a deafening roar, the fireball slammed into a towering tree, sending sparks flying in all directions.

Swish swish.

Just then, several Konoha ANBU ninjas appeared from all directions and intercepted the group.

"Damn it! Have we been exposed?"

"Damn it!"

"In that case, is retreat the only option?"

"Shut up, all of you!" Ray roared, "Kill these people with all your might, then proceed as planned!" If they retreated now, it would be too difficult to execute the plan later. Besides, there weren't many Konoha Anbu members in front of them. Therefore, they had to fight no matter what.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his arms and quickly began to form hand seals.

Earth Release: Earth Collapse Pillar!

Rumble.

A loud explosion.

Suddenly, huge cracks appeared in the ground. Countless pebbles and clods of earth were launched high into the air, transforming into pillars of stone that pierced towards the Hidden Leaf Village's ANBU.

Swish.

A figure suddenly burst out from the crowd of Konoha's Anbu. His chest, waist, and arms were wrapped in layers of dazzling lightning. He raised his fist and smashed through the stone pillars in front of him with great speed, then quickly charged towards the group opposite him.

"This speed..." Ray's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Not good, retreat quickly!"

However, his warning came too late.

The opponent was incredibly fast. In everyone's eyes, it was only the blink of an eye before they were upon them. The silver-white ninja sword drew a dazzling arc in mid-air.

Puff puff.

The dull thuds of the knife cutting into flesh continued, and bright red blood splattered everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, only Ray and another companion remained in the group; the others had become victims of the enemy's blade.

"You are... Shisui of the Body Flicker?" Ray stared in astonishment at the other's ANBU member, muttering to himself. Even though the other was wearing an ANBU mask, Ray recognized him from certain features.

"Kumogakure ninja, I know your purpose. You want to reclaim the Two-Tails' Jinchuriki?" Shisui flicked his ninja sword and said calmly, "You have no chance."

"Bastards!" Ray roared angrily, "You guys are going too far!" He raised his hands, forming a strange hand seal, and attacked Shisui madly.

His companion, seemingly anticipating this, turned in another direction.

Lightning Release: Fist of Lightning!

Ray's fists crackled with lightning, terrifying electric light coiling around their surfaces.

Shisui grabbed the blade with his right hand, and with a slight flick, was about to unleash a slash. But at that moment, two intersecting bolts of lightning, like a thin rope, instantly bound his waist. Immediately afterward, Ray's companion, pulling the electric rope, pounced on him with incredible speed.

"Hmm? This is..."

Even Shisui was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Perhaps he simply hadn't expected the opponent to employ such a tactic.

At that moment, when he tried to retreat, it was too late. A fist crackling with lightning was already upon his body. Although Shisui's blade had deflected him, the man pulling the electric rope was already in front of him. His body, like an incandescent light bulb suddenly turned on, emitted a dazzling light.

"Come with me, let's perish together!"

The Cloud Ninja took out a strange scroll from his pocket and unrolled it with one hand.

Zzzzz, zzzzz.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless bolts of lightning completely enveloped Shisui and himself. In an instant, they were like a powder keg that had been lit. The light shot straight into the sky.

Boom!

The enormous explosion was deafening, and a powerful shockwave rippled outwards.

When the smoke and light dissipated, only a deep pit with white steam rising from it remained in the arena, and everything around it was reduced to dust.

"Did you take him down?" Ray breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this, the mission couldn't continue. But taking down Shisui was at least a consolation prize.

However, not long after he had this thought, the next moment...

puff.

A long sword pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.

Ray turned his head blankly, only to see a stunningly beautiful face. Strange cherry blossom petal-shaped patterns slowly rotated around the pupils of her scarlet eyes. "Shadow Asura... Uchiha Yui..." With these final words, Ray's consciousness faded into eternal darkness.
