I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

Even if the way I escaped was beyond your expectations, I shouldn't just take the beating without any reaction, right?

Mikoto noticed the abnormal situation and rushed over immediately.

Kushina took a while to calm down, her complexion finally improved, and she shook her head.

"I anticipated that you would use the Great Snake Style Substitution Technique, and I let you use it on purpose. Otherwise, with your level, once you are blocked by the Diamond, you will not be able to control your own chakra at all."

"I was originally planning to let you go and fight with you for a while. But, the seal on my body suddenly loosened! I feel a little nauseous and want to vomit!"

"The seal of the Nine-Tails has loosened?!" Mikoto's face changed drastically, "This is no small matter, go find the Hokage!"

Feeling nauseous and want to vomit?

Kimura narrowed his eyes, thinking, and then said: "I have learned some medical ninjutsu from the dean, let me check it out."

"Yeah." Kushina nodded in agreement.

Kimura released a ball of crystal clear chakra, which stuck to Kushina's lower abdomen, and she immediately felt a wave.

"You are pregnant, so nausea and vomiting are normal reactions," said Kimura.

"Pregnant?" Mikoto was slightly stunned, then she smiled and patted the back of Kushina's hand, "Congratulations, Kushina! You're going to have a baby!"

"Pregnant?"

Kushina didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds, she reached out and touched her lower abdomen. Her expression gradually became serious, and she had completely lost her previous liveliness.

According to the experience of the previous Jinchūriki, Mrs. Mito, during the ten months from pregnancy to childbirth, the energy used in the seal of a female Jinchūriki will gradually transfer to the baby in her belly. Therefore, the strength of the Tailed Beast Seal will inevitably decrease.

"No wonder I always feel like..."

Kushina muttered to herself, then stood up and looked at Kimurano and Mikoto, instructing them, "Don't tell anyone what just happened!"

Volume 019: I Want to Improve So Much! : Naruto's Birth Crisis

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's pregnancy is a serious and confidential matter.

When Minato Namikaze learned that Kushina was pregnant, he was only briefly happy and then quickly contacted the Third Hokage to hold a secret meeting.

The only attendees were the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako, Kushina herself, and the people who first discovered her pregnancy, Kimurano and Mikoto.

There were five people in total, and they held a small meeting at Minato's house.

After Biwako checked Kushina's body and confirmed that there was no problem, she breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately frowned.

"This is ridiculous. As a Jinchūriki, you're just fighting so casually while you're pregnant! If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster!"

"hey-hey!"

Kushina laughed awkwardly and scratched her head, knowing that she was in the wrong and feeling a little ashamed.

Kimura thought for a moment and said, "I also have a share of responsibility. I should have decisively rejected Kushina's proposal to fight."

Namikaze Minato waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Normally, nothing would happen to Kushina after such a restrained fight like you. Pregnancy is something that most people would never think of."

The Third Hokage said: "Early detection is also a good thing. Now that we are only three months pregnant, we can make preparations early."

Biwako: "When Lady Mito gave birth, the seal was almost broken. We must be careful."

Namikaze Minato nodded: "I will accompany Kushina at that time and maintain the seal of the Nine-Tails at all times."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "Just to be on the safe side, Kushina should give birth inside the barrier outside the village. Biwako will be in charge of the delivery. Minato's ANBU and I will be in charge of the protection."

Then, the Third Hokage emphasized seriously: "This matter is a secret among secrets. Do not disclose it to anyone. Even the Anbu responsible for protection must wait until before the birth before notifying. Kushina, your belly is getting bigger. Try not to go out to avoid being noticed."

Minato nodded in agreement, looked at Kimura, and pleaded, "Kushina will probably be bored staying at home alone. You and Mikoto, if it is convenient, please come visit Kushina often to keep her company."

"Yes, we will." Kimura nodded in agreement.

……

After finishing the business, the Third Hokage and his wife Biwako left hand in hand.

After asking Kushina about her well-being, Minato Namikaze hurried back to the Hokage Building to handle government affairs.

Kushina let out a long breath, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed: "I'm going to jail from now on!"

"This is a serious matter and cannot be neglected. I will come to accompany you often." Mikoto smiled and comforted.

Kushina raised an eyebrow, looked at Kimurano, and smiled: "You are lucky, you won the previous contest!"

Kimura smiled and shook his head: "Don't mention it. I'm still a little scared when I think about it now. Fortunately, I was unarmed when I pounced on you, otherwise a kunai might have killed you!"

Kushina raised her chin and said proudly, "You underestimate me! I am from the Uzumaki clan, even if there are a few holes poked in my body by kunai, it's no big deal!"

"..."

Kimura smiled helplessly and admitted defeat.

Kushina rolled her eyes, her gaze moving back and forth between Kimura and Mikoto, and said, "I have a suggestion."

"?"

Mikoto gave him a questioning look.

Kushina giggled and said, "You and Ano move to my house and stay with me for a few months~"

Mikoto didn't dare to agree to such a big thing as moving casually. She turned to look at Kimura and asked him to make the decision.

"This is inappropriate."

Kimura declined politely. Isn't it pure torture to have hot flushes from morning till night every day?

Kushina chose to take a step back: "Then Mikoto will move in alone."

Kimura shook his head and laughed: "My woman, living alone in the Hokage's house, what's going on? It's easy for rumors and gossip to spread!"

Mikoto nodded in agreement, "Yes, people's words are scary! Senior White Fang was hurt by rumors, which led to the tragedy!"

Kushina reacted, patted her forehead, and said apologetically: "I didn't think it through."

Then, she refused to give up and continued to beg: "Then you two should move in together! Otherwise, I will be so bored at home alone!"

"I am such a lively and active person, trapped in this disguised prison, and you two can't visit me every day. What if one day I can't stand the loneliness and am devoured by the hatred of the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

"..."

Mikoto was a little hesitant when it came to matters concerning the tailed beasts, and couldn't help but look at Kimura again, asking him to make the decision.

Kimura frowned, suspecting that Kushina was exaggerating, but he had no evidence. After all, it was difficult to judge things in the personal spiritual realm.

Kimura thought for a while, sighed, and said, "For the sake of the Jinchūriki's mental health, Mikoto and I are willing to move in. But, will the Hokage agree?"

Kushina's wish came true. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Minato is very busy. Sometimes he even stays overnight in the office. He is eager for you two to accompany him! Didn't he ask you to do it before he left just now?"

Having said that, Kushina was afraid that Kimura would go back on her word, so she quickly dragged Mikoto out of the living room, saying as she walked, "Come, I'll show you around our new home!"

……

The residence of Minato Namikaze and Kushina covers a large area.

In a spacious courtyard, there are two three-story buildings, connected by a glass corridor on the second floor.

The building on the left is where Minato and Kushina live; the building on the right is prepared for future children to live in, and at the moment, it has temporarily become the residence of Kimura and Mikoto.

This arrangement not only ensures the convenience of visiting each other, but also takes into account the privacy of the two families.

Kimura was very satisfied. In this way, Mikoto could just deal with Kushina on a daily basis, and he could try to avoid the hexagram seal from getting hot.

However, such a spacious home is obviously not Naruto's home in the original novel. Perhaps, on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Minato and Kushina, along with this current home, were destroyed forever.

Now, Kushina is three months pregnant, which means that the countdown to the Nine-Tails Rebellion has begun in seven months.

Obito accepted the inheritance of Uchiha Madara and knew very well the weakest time of the Nine-Tails seal. He was also a student of Minato and had long known about Kushina and Minato's marriage. Now he must come to Konoha often to observe secretly, and sooner or later he will find out that Kushina is pregnant!

Obito will never miss this best time of childbirth!

Konoha is not like Kumogakure, and there is no mobile base on the sea far away from the land like Kame Island. The place where Kushina gave birth could not avoid the top perception of the earth.

Obito also possesses the top space-time eye technique in the ninja world, which can ignore barriers.

It's hard to guard against!

Is the tragedy of delivery night really unavoidable?

Kimura leaned on the sofa with a frown on his face, listening to Mikoto and Kushina's laughter in the kitchen, trying hard to think of a way to break the deadlock.

Volume 020 I Want to Improve So Much! : Kimura's Strategy

“Ding ding ding, dinner is ready!”

Kushina and Mikoto brought plates of sumptuous dinner delicacies to the dining table.

"Someone seems very unhappy. Did I disturb your world of two?" Kushina took off her apron and glanced at Kimura who was in deep thought on the sofa.

Mikoto glanced at Kimura and smiled at Kushina, "Ano is just thinking about something, don't get me wrong."

"Well, I'm thinking about life."

Kimura came back to his senses, smiled, stood up, sat at the dining table and picked up the chopsticks.

"Thank you both for your hard work. I'm getting started!"

"Well, let's get started!"

Mikoto and Kushina looked at each other and each picked up their chopsticks.

The three of them began to enjoy their dinner happily. As for Minato, he was still working overtime in the Hokage Building.

After a while, Kushina wiped her mouth with a napkin, pointed at the table full of sumptuous dinner, and said, "Ano, are you interested in guessing which ones were made by Mikoto and which ones were made by me?"

"Mikoto did all of this," Kimura answered without even thinking.

"Ah?" Kushina was slightly surprised, "Why do you say that? I stayed in the kitchen for a long time, how could I not cook a single dish?"

Kimurano raised an eyebrow and said, "Based on what I know about Mikoto, she would never let a pregnant woman cook."

"..."

Kushina drank up the juice in the cup in one gulp and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to get all of these right! Mikoto has always only allowed me to watch from the side and not to interfere."

Mikoto ate in silence, chewing in small bites, listening to the two people's conversation, a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Kimura looked at Kushina for a moment and couldn't help asking, "I see you seem to be in a very relaxed state of mind. Aren't you worried about any accidents during childbirth?"

"There's nothing we can do if something unexpected happens!" Kushina shrugged. "We'll just solve the problem when it arises. We've already made all the necessary preparations. There's no point worrying about it now."

Solve problems when they arise...

Kimura's eyes narrowed, and after savoring it several times, he suddenly shuddered.

Yes! Why are you so obsessed with preventing Obito from invading?

Wouldn't it be better to just assume that he will invade and then find a way to defeat him? !

Kimura's thoughts suddenly opened up, and he was extremely happy. He hugged Mikoto and kissed her cheek hard.

"You guys eat first, I'll go back and think about something!"

After saying this, Kimura hurried to the study in the next building.

Kushina blinked, looked at Mikoto, and asked, "Is he always this weird?"

Mikoto smiled faintly: "That's about right. Ano often thinks about something, and when he figures it out, he celebrates with me."

Kushina couldn't help but wonder, "The Uchiha's affairs are basically settled. What other problems have been solved that would make him so happy?"

Mikoto shook her head. "I don't know either, but Aye always asks me directly when she needs my advice. She didn't say anything this time, so it's probably not something we can get involved in. Eat quickly, you're pregnant, so you need to eat regularly."

"Yeah." Kushina nodded.

……

In the study in the next building.

Kimura stared at the white paper on the table, holding a pen, thinking silently.

The key to the Nine-Tails Rebellion was that the Fourth Hokage was alone and unable to protect both the infant Naruto and Kushina, who was exhausted after giving birth.

In other words, as long as someone shared the pressure with the Fourth Hokage and protected one of them, the Nine-Tails Rebellion could have been avoided.

But he must be an extremely strong ninja, otherwise he will not be able to resist Uchiha Obito.

Obito's paper strength: Wood Style, Fire Style, pupil techniques (illusion, single Kamui, Izanagi), ...
