Chapter 167 Expected Date of Delivery

"I didn't expect that the little red pepper would be scared."

Mikoto covered her mouth and laughed.

Kushina stuck out her tongue and laughed, "After all, I've never experienced it before... and I heard it's scary."

Mikoto then said seriously: "It's really painful, you have to be mentally prepared."

"But I believe you will be fine, I wish you and your child peace."

"Thank you."

Kushina held Mikoto's shoulders and thanked her.

The two then parted ways.

On the house next to her, a figure with a black robe and a cat face mask followed the direction Kushina left.

This sneaky figure was Kakashi who was responsible for protecting Kushina's safety.

Kakashi shuttled through the houses and followed Kushina to the vicinity of the Hokage Building.

"Come down, Kakashi."

Kushina said with her hands on her waist and raised her head.

Kakashi jumped down from the house behind him after hearing this.

The Uzumaki clan has the Kagura Heart Eye, whose insight is comparable to the Byakugan, so Kushina naturally knows Kakashi's movements.

"Master Kushina." Kakashi bowed respectfully.

"You call me old, it's better to call me sister." Kushina stroked her belly and waved her hand.

This made Kakashi silent.

If he called Kushina sister, then the unborn child in her belly would become his nephew.

However, Kushina did not hesitate and said, "It's up to you. Let's go find Minato first. Your mission is probably about to end."

"End?... I understand."

Kakashi looked up and saw that Kushina's belly had bulged a lot, and he had the answer in his heart.

Kushina is about to give birth, which means that his mission to protect Kushina is about to end.

The subsequent guarding work should be handed over to other Anbu masters or even the Hokage himself for personal protection.

After all, Kushina is not only the wife of the Fourth Hokage, but also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha.

Kakashi followed Kushina and Sarutobi Biwako to the Hokage's office.

Kushina walked in front and pushed the door open directly.

There were two Hokages sitting in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

"Kushina, you're here, sit down."

Minato was originally talking to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and when he saw Kushina, he immediately stood up and gave the Hokage's throne to Kushina.

Kushina didn't refuse, she sat on it, and at the same time let out a long sigh, "Oh, it's so tiring to walk with a person in my stomach."

Minato squatted down and gently stroked Kushina's belly, saying with a very doting expression: "You've worked hard."

Back then, when she was a girl, Kushina's dream was to become the first female Hokage of Konoha.

Now, although Kushina is not a Hokage, the Hokage will give up his seat when he sees her, which can be regarded as realizing the dream from another direction.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to sit upright and said, "Kushina, your due date is October 10th, and you can't move around freely from now on."

"You must stay in the barrier deployed by the barrier team and Uchiha Che, and you can leave after the delivery is completed and the seal is reinforced."

"During this period, your safety will be guarded by the elites of the Anbu, and the delivery process will be in the charge of my wife Biwako and her disciples."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained a lot, but Kushina didn't listen to it completely.

Kushina complained with a bitter face: "I have to be trapped in the barrier again... It's so troublesome to give birth to a child."

Minato held Kushina's hand and said gently: "The Third Hokage is also for your safety."

"It doesn't matter. When Naruto is born, I will take you out of the village to play for a while, and the work will be left to the Third Hokage."

Kushina finally smiled after hearing this.

Then, Minato stood up and looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, you have worked hard during this period. You can go back and rest."

"I will give you a month's vacation."

Kakashi has been guarding Kushina's safety day and night for nearly ten months. Although he has not encountered any danger, the length of this job is already very hard.

So Minato gave Kakashi a month's vacation, and Kakashi naturally agreed directly.

After Kakashi left, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage and his wife and the Fourth Hokage and his wife continued to discuss the details of the arrangements on the due date.

Kakashi walked on the road. At this time, the sky was getting dark. The autumn sunset was a large area of ​​​​fiery red and brilliant, which was very beautiful.

Kakashi looked at the sky. After relaxing from a long state of alert, Kakashi had a lot of feelings in his heart, which happened to be expressed through the sunset scenery.

Kakashi turned around, walked to a flower shop, bought a bouquet of flowers, and then walked to the cemetery of Konoha.

Kakashi took off his mask, his black cloak, and came to Lin's tombstone with flowers.

He replaced the vase in front of the tombstone with fresh flowers, then knelt on one knee on the ground and said to the tombstone, "Lin, Minato's child is about to be born."

"My protection mission has also been successfully completed."

"The next step is to wait for Master Kushina to give birth to the child safely."

"It's a pity... you and Obito can't see it."

"Don't worry, Lin, I haven't forgotten to avenge you."

"I have become stronger, but it's not enough. I will become stronger until I find the murderer who killed you, the masked man, and kill him with my own hands."

"Okay, I just visited Obito's grave, and now I'm planning to go back and rest."

"Goodbye, Lin."

Kakashi left the cemetery.

After a while, a mysterious man in a black robe and a tiger-patterned mask tore off the flowers Kakashi had placed for Lin.

"It was not me who killed Lin, but this fake world."

"This world no longer has any reason to exist."

"Lin, I will create a world with you."
