I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

The Third Hokage made a "tsk" sound, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper. He wanted to smoke, but he held back because he was concerned that Kushina was pregnant.

Biwako said, "Even if he knew that childbirth is when the seal is at its weakest, he wouldn't be able to determine the day Kushina would give birth, right?"

Minato shook his head: "We can't have any luck. The other party has mastered the time-space pupil technique and ignores the barrier. As long as he often comes to the village to investigate, he will find out sooner or later that Kushina has not shown up for a long time. Moreover, he has an assistant who is good at perception. There is no point for Kushina to hide outside the village!"

That's right! That's it!

Kimura secretly praised and thought that it was fortunate that the senior leaders of Danzo were excluded from the confidential information, otherwise they would definitely change the topic to the fact that there was an Uchiha inside the village!

The Third Hokage pondered for a while and said, "Since the opponent is so strong, then it is meaningless to have ordinary elite jonin as guards. We must have the strongest of the strong!"

Namikaze Minato: "This could also be false information deliberately leaked by Kirigakure in order to distract our attention. The defenses at the border cannot be weakened. We must be careful of Kirigakure's sneak attacks!"

"Ok!"

The Third Hokage nodded in agreement. Kirigakure always likes to come up with some bizarre plots, for example, during the Third Ninja World War which had just ended not long ago, they sealed the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin's body and tried to sneak into Konoha and cause a rampage...

Namikaze Minato suggested: "Let's call the master back to the village."

The Third Hokage nodded and suggested, "Well, Jiraiya is traveling outside and has nothing to do. Also, call Tsunade back as well!"

"Tsunade?" Kimura was slightly surprised. "Doesn't she suffer from hemophobia?"

Biwako explained: "Tsunade's symptoms are relatively mild. Apart from being unable to face a battlefield with large-scale bloodshed, there are no other problems."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Biwako's face. "Otherwise, with her bad luck of losing every time she gambled, she would have lost all the property left by the first Hokage long ago. She has been entangled in gambling debts for years. If she doesn't do missions to earn rewards, how can she pay it off?"

"..."

Kimura twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless. He never expected that Tsunade would be free from her hemophobia ahead of time.

Sure enough, reality is the best medicine, forcing people to adapt as quickly as possible.

In this case, with two [Three Ninjas] assisting the Fourth Hokage, the young Uchiha Obito should not be able to cause any trouble!

Kimura felt relieved and relaxed.

……

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

After asking Kushina about her well-being, Minato hurried back to the Hokage Building to rearrange the village's defenses.

In the living room, only four people were left: Kimura, Kushina, Mikoto, and Yakushi Nono.

The legal wife and the third party happened to get together today.

Kimura and the dean looked at each other and at Mikoto who was kept in the dark, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Mikoto didn't know any of this, she only knew that Pharmacist Nono was Kimura's beloved dean, so out of respect, she was the first to greet him "Senior Nono".

Yakushi Nono immediately responded politely, and at the same time secretly looked at Mikoto, her face, figure, age, temperament... everything was identical.

After reading it all, Yakushi Nono felt very satisfied. It was great that Kimura had such a caring woman to accompany him in the village.

Afterwards, she used her superb conversation skills to start a friendly exchange with Mikoto, and before she knew it, they had dispelled the unfamiliarity between them, while at the same time not revealing her deep relationship with Kimura.

Kimura sat aside, secretly admiring that the dean was indeed an ace spy and had no flaws at all.

……

Volume 023: I Want to Improve So Much! : Time Management

Due to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's pregnancy, Konoha's security has been greatly increased.

No one is allowed to leave or enter the village without a valid reason.

For example, Yakushi Nono applied to leave the village to go to the orphanage, but unfortunately, she was rejected. Unless she went out to perform an important spy mission, she was not allowed to leave the village.

Given the situation, Yakushi Nono had no choice but to stay in the village, and his only serious task every day was to accompany Kimura.

Of course, they still get along as the dean and vice-dean to the outside world. After all, Kimura's only woman in public is Mikoto.

Monogamy and multiple concubines were very common in the Warring States period of the ninja world.

In the ninja group, polygamy is more common. There is no difference in status. It is just a first-come-first-served order. The children of wives receive the same education. Whether they can become successful depends on their personal talent; whether they can survive in the war depends on their luck.

After the establishment of the ninja village, the living environment became relatively stable, and polygamy gradually ceased to exist among the ninja community.

Simply put, in today's ninja village, if Kimura announced that he had more than two women, it would instantly attract everyone's attention and become the hottest gossip.

Moreover, once Mikoto knew the truth and found out that she was betrayed by the man she loved most, it was hard to imagine how she would react. It was only because Yakushi Nono had always acted cautiously that Kimura dared to cheat on her.

Besides, with the pride of the Uchiha clan, they would definitely not accept that the wife of the former clan leader would fall into such a state. This is a great insult!

Therefore, before Kimura has done enough deeds to gain the Uchiha's submission, even if Mikoto agrees to his cheating, the Uchiha clan will not agree!

If Kimura rashly exposes his harem now, it will only arouse the anger of the Uchiha people, and it is very likely that all previous efforts in Uchiha affairs will come to naught!

Taking this into consideration, Kimura was very careful.

He occasionally skipped work during the day to visit the dean's residence, and returned to Minato's house at night to accompany Mikoto.

Time management is very good.

Although Kimura is a ninja with a very small initial chakra amount and very poor talent in escaping techniques, he also has his own unique advantages - excellent physical strength and abundant energy.

Therefore, daily life with the two girls is easy.

The reason why he didn't practice physical skills despite his excellent physical fitness was because the risk was too great.

Physical training, punching and kicking, daily training will inevitably lead to injuries. The healing of the seal is triggered passively, so wouldn't the progress of the wedge seal be increased rapidly? The gain is not worth the loss!

Cherish life and stay away from physical exercises!

With the company of the dean and Mikoto, Kimura spent his days happily.

After more than a month, through unremitting efforts, [Qian Gua] continued to turn black, and Kimura's chakra volume gradually increased, finally exceeding [Liang Ka].

[Wedge Seal Devouring Progress: 41.68%]

[Bagua Seal Anti-devouring Progress: 18.000%]

[Otsutsuki Kaguya's possession progress: 23.680%]

At the same time, Kushina's pregnancy gradually became apparent, and her belly grew visibly larger. The one-year anniversary of Kimura and Mikoto's relationship finally arrived.

Mikoto is a woman who knows how to manage her life, and she always attaches great importance to the sense of ceremony on memorable days.

Mikoto discussed with Yakushi Nono, and then Yakushi Nono went to Minato's house to temporarily accompany pregnant woman Kushina for a day. Mikoto went out on a date with Kimura, and went to Yakushi's residence at night - this was the place where the two officially held hands and confirmed their relationship.

The night was long and the light was always on in the bedroom.

Mikoto changed into a new outfit tonight, with heavy makeup, fiery red lips, and a short dress with a deep V-neck and hip-hugging waist.

Against the backdrop of pure black fabric, the skin on her shoulders and neck was as white as snow, and her collarbone was crystal clear, with a pure white glow.

The long and straight legs are put together, fitting perfectly with beautiful lines.

The hem of the skirt just covered one-third of the thighs, and the ultra-thin black stockings concealed the delicate skin, which was faintly glowing under the soft light.

Paired with 10cm black diamond-studded high heels, her figure looks even more impressive.

This outfit can be said to be very bold. When worn by a noble lady like Mikoto, it is incompatible with her elegant temperament, and the contrast is huge. No matter how she poses, she does not look frivolous and wanton, but rather funny and cute.

Kimura couldn't help but put his arm around Mikoto's waist and said with a smile, "It's hard to believe you put so much thought into this!"

Mikoto's eyes were like water, and she smiled softly: "I'm glad you don't feel bored, Aye."

Kimura was slightly stunned and felt a little ashamed. His wife loved him so much, but he was secretly cheating on her.

Although I had to do this to fight back against the Devouring, I still failed him in the end...

Kimura sighed softly, "Mikoto, I'm really ashamed. I've always been the same and never brought you any freshness."

Mikoto shook her head: "How could that be? I am happy every day when I am with Aye!"

In the eyes of the beholder, all looks are good. No matter what Kimura looks like, in Mikoto's eyes, she is worthy of joy.

Anniversary time is extremely precious and should not be wasted at all.

Time passes happily.

The diamond-studded high heels fell next to the chair.

The originally exquisite stockings, like withered and dying leaves, fell on the high heels in tatters, casting mottled black shadows under the light of the ceiling chandelier.

Mikoto tucked her messy hair behind her ears, pursed her lips, and gently stroked the emerging Bagua seal with her fingertips.

"Aye, your [Qian Gua] has turned a lot darker!"

"Well, if we both keep working hard, this divination will soon turn black again." Kimura said with a smile.

During this period of time, he has been deceiving Mikoto in this way, attributing the credit of Yakushi Nono to Mikoto.

Mikoto only had a vague understanding of these things, so after listening to Kimura's words, she believed them to be true.

"Ano, will your medical skills be as powerful as Lady Tsunade's in the future?" Mikoto asked curiously.

Kimura smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Although there is no seal to heal and protect yourself, you don't need to rely on medical ninjutsu, but if you master Yang escape, you can use it to save the lives of people around you at a critical moment. In this ninja world full of surprises, it is still very useful.

Unfortunately, the dean will be heading to Kumogakure on a spy mission next week. [Qian Gua] There is no chance to dye it black before Kushina gives birth.

Kimura felt a little regretful.

Yakushi Nono's mission this time is to spy on the subsequent military deployment of Kumogakure, so that Konoha can accurately control the border defense forces and transfer the saved troops to the other side to guard against potential attacks from Kirigakure.

This task would take at least four months to complete. Now, there were less than five months left until Kushina's due date. And it would take another two months for the Qian Gua to be completely dyed black.

In other words, on the day Naruto was born, there was no way Kimura would be able to master Yang Release, his strength could not be improved to the next level, and he lacked the confidence to deal with unexpected events.

However, as long as Tsunade, the slug princess, returns to the village, it shouldn’t make much difference whether she masters Yang Release or not!

Volume 024 I Want to Improve So Much! : Tsunade Returns to the Village

It has been more than half a year since the end of the Third Ninja World War.

Konoha is still in the transition period from wartime order to post-war order. It is neither like wartime nor like post-war. There are always large numbers of ninjas rotating to the border, and the number of casualties continues to increase.

After all, the Yunyin side is still not at peace. It has been harassing the border and maintaining small-scale battles of a certain intensity.

After resting in the village for a while, the ace spy Yakushi Nono received a new mission to sneak into Kumogakure and spy on their military deployment plans.

……

In front of the main gate of Konoha.

Kimura and Mikoto stood side by side, watching Yakushi Nono's back disappear at the end of the tree-lined avenue.

At the same time, two figures, one big and one small, were getting closer and closer in the distance, becoming clearer and clearer.

The older one looked to be only twenty years old, young and beautiful, with long light yellow hair tied into a big ponytail, a blue-purple diamond mark on her forehead, red lips and white teeth. She was wearing a light green striped coat and black ninja high-heeled sandals. Her ten toes were as white and smooth as bamboo shoots, and her toenails were painted with bright red nail polish, which was bright and attractive.

The younger one was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with short black hair, a pure appearance, a slim black shirt and black pants, and holding a cute pet pig in his arms.

Obviously, these two people are Tsunade and Shizune.

Kimura narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Tsunade at this stage had not yet reached the stalwart figure of old age, and her figure was still within the normal range, so she could wear a regular ninja uniform.

"Ano, these two are Lady Tsunade and her disciple Shizune." Mikoto was worried that Kimura wouldn't recognize them when they first met, so she reminded him in a low voice.

"Ah."

Kimura nodded, and the Bagua mark on his abdomen began to heat up, even hotter than when he faced Kushina, as if it was on fire.

As the two approached, Kimurano and Mikoto greeted them respectfully, "Tsunade-sama, welcome back to the village!"

"Hello."

Tsunade smiled kindly, then gently patted Mikoto on the shoulder and said, "I heard about the sacrifice of Patriarch Fugaku. Please accept my condolences."

Mikoto bowed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Lady Tsunade. In fact, I already have a new family."

"Oh?"

Tsunade exclaimed softly, her dark eyebrows slightly raised, and she was secretly surprised. This remarriage was so fast! It seems that the man is very attractive!

"Which ninja is so outstanding?" Tsunade asked curiously.

Mikoto looked to her side with a smile in her eyes.

Tsunade followed her gaze and looked at Kimurano, smiling, "So it's you, your face looks unfamiliar!"
