Chapter 225 Naruto’s Awakening
Chapter 225 Naruto’s Awakening
A few days later, in the Hidden Leaf Village, in the Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other and listened to the ANBU ninja's report.
"What are you talking about? The Fourth Kazekage's team did not enter our country from the border of Kawa no Kuni?"
The Konoha ANBU ninja who was kneeling on the ground nodded and answered Minato who asked the question:
"According to your order, we have dispatched additional troops to monitor the movements of the Sand Ninja at the border between the Country of Sichuan and the Country of Wind.
Yesterday, the ninja team on the front line sent back information that the Suna ninjas were indeed taking action, but they did not enter our country through the border of Kawa no Kuni.
Their people did not go east, but went south, and went to sea at the port at the junction of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Sichuan. "
"Go to sea?"
Minato looked at Uncle Hiruzen who was sitting next to him with some doubts. He was still touching his pipe and smoking silently.
"You go down first."
The ANBU bowed to the two Hokages and exited the office.
Hiruzen, who had been thinking for a long time, smiled and comforted Minato in a slow voice:
"Calm down, nothing unexpected will happen in this kind of diplomatic affairs."
Minato nodded, his doubts easing a little.
He is not an impatient person, but this time the Fourth Kazekage suddenly proposed to visit Konoha, which was quite important to him:
After all, this is the first time he has presided over foreign affairs after becoming the Fourth Hokage.
Moreover, this time coincided with his wife's due date, which somewhat left him with little to do.
After all, his wife is not an ordinary ninja, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
After experiencing the lesson that Konoha almost rolled over when the last Kyuubi Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Mito-sama gave birth, this time Konoha's top management paid 200% attention to this matter.
Since Kushina's jinchuriki identity has been well hidden by Konoha's top brass, only a few jounin and ANBU knew this information. Most of Konoha's ninjas and civilians simply gave blessings to the young Yondaime couple.
But in the realm they didn't know, the entire Konoha was in peace, but it had already entered a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside.
Compared to such a major event as the production of Jinchuuriki, the Kazekage's visit was not a big deal in the eyes of Uncle Hiruzen. He told Minato the plan he had laid out:
"Kushina's delivery room is now ready, in the most secret valley within the barrier of Konoha Hidden Village."
"Yes, everything is up to you."
"You kid...what are you talking about?
How could I be responsible for this kind of thing? This was all arranged by Lake Biwa. "
Uncle Hiruzen sighed and said angrily and amusedly.
After all, he is different from his second disciple Jiraiya. He is a sullen old pervert who cares about face.
On weekdays in the village, Uncle Hiruzen pays great attention to his own image, whether before or after retirement~
So, no matter how much attention he paid to a woman giving birth, he wouldn't be able to get into the delivery room by himself to supervise and provide guidance, right?
I'm afraid Jiraiya wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, okay?
After laughing, Hiruzen continued to explain to Minato:
"Since Tsunade doesn't want to come back, I can't give her strong orders.
But if you think about it carefully, she won't be able to help much with things like childbirth. "
This cannot be said in detail. When Tsunade left the village and took Shizune to wander around a few years ago, Minato only knew a little bit that she had lost relatives and lovers one after another during the war, and was overly sad.
However, Hiruzen knew that this was only a superficial reason; the real reason was that his female disciple, who had always been strong and courageous, was suffering from hemophobia.
Of course, Tsunade is unwilling to return to the village to help Kushina deliver the baby. It is indeed the reason that Uncle Hiruzen just said:
Although Tsunade Hime is a promiscuous gambler and drunkard, she is still an unmarried young woman in her late forties, okay?
Although things like delivering babies are nothing to Tsunade who is proficient in medical ninjutsu, you have to consider their psychology!
Kushina is also a relative of Uzumaki Mito's great-granddaughter. She was unaccompanied when she first arrived in Konoha and was taken care of by Tsunade.
In terms of seniority, Kushina had to call Tsunade aunt.
Although Sister Tsunade is definitely No. 1 in the world of pretending to be young, even her distant niece who is more than ten years younger than herself is married and has a baby. She is still married to her spare apprentice. How can she not have the subtleties of the fleeting time in her heart? idea?
In any world, there is no woman who does not care about her age.
"It's okay, we all understand Tsunade-senpai.
Moreover, the main problem for Kushina's production was the seal of the Kyuubi. "
Minato still had a gentle and embarrassed smile on his face, and he also felt that it didn't make much difference whether Tsunade, a "troubled old girl", returned to the village.
Because even he felt that with his mother-in-law's physical condition, giving birth to a baby was not a problem.
Moreover, when he was a boy, he had witnessed the "cordial interaction" between Tsunade and Kushina.
If you want to study why Kushina has the status of the number one female man in Konoha today, then the cultivation of Tsunade Hime back then must definitely be considered as the first contribution!
Minato didn't want his wife to receive a second education from Tsunade, nor did he want to inherit his teacher's glorious tradition:
He was almost punched to death by a woman!
"Hey, although Kushina is very strong, just in case...
Duo Ci, do you know this child? "
"Anbu medical ninja?"
"Well, she once followed Tsunade on the battlefield, so she was half of her disciple.
Let her assist Biwako and help Kushina deliver the baby. "
After hearing Hiruzen's careful consideration, Minato stood up gratefully and bowed, saying:
"I feel sorry for you and Mrs. Biwako to worry about our affairs."
Hiruzen looked at his young disciple with complex eyes, but the shadow of the black-haired boy in front of him seemed to flash past.
"In the blink of an eye, the little Taiyang from the ninja school will become a father~"
"You actually still remember this kind of thing~
It's just kid talk during school days. "
Hiruzen suddenly interrupted this pleasant chat and said with a serious face:
"Yondaime, after Kushina gives birth successfully, I will no longer interfere with the affairs of the village."
"Huh? But there are many things..."
Hiruzen waved his hand, interrupting Minato.
"There have been bad rumors in the village, saying that I supported you to take over as Hokage because of your love of power.
It's time to put an end to these rumors that are harmful to you with my actions.
Don't underestimate yourself. When I became Hokage, I was far from what you are today. "
Hiruzen stood up from his seat and walked towards the office door step by step.
“The most important thing in the village is inheritance, whether it’s the position of Hokage or the jinchūriki.
It will be up to you to convince Kushina about this matter from now on.
After all, your child, like Kushina, has the potential to become a Jinchuuriki. "
Hiruzen did not look back at Minato's reaction because he believed that Namikaze Minato, as the Hokage, had the consciousness to sacrifice his child's future and make him a candidate for jinchūriki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in the corridor with steady steps, his expression becoming more and more gloomy and determined.
