"Then you…"
"I'll help her deliver the baby."
"You even know how to do that?"
"Kushina helped me a lot before. Now it's my turn to help her."
Mikoto couldn't help but roll her eyes at the lover beside her.
'I have already studied this in the hospital, okay?'
Covering all of Kushina's lower body with a sheet, Uchiha Mikoto only bent down after putting on gloves and preparing the rest of the supplies.
"You can start pushing now, Kushina."
"Now?", Kushina, while tenderly staring into Uchiha Kage's eyes and pushing the mask that was in the way to the side of his head, gently stroked her belly.
"Seems like there's no movement… How about giving birth tomorrow instead?", Maybe it was a psychological effect, but the moment she saw Uchiha Kage, Kushina felt like her stomach stopped hurting.
"Stop fooling around, Kushina!", Mikoto finally couldn't hold back and exploded, 'You are about to become a mother, yet you are still acting so childish.'
"Yes…"
'Mikoto is scary…'
Kushina pouted slightly, then looked again at the Uchiha Kage who seemed a little different from "usual."
"Husband, can you help me give birth?"
"I…"
After entering the cave, Uchiha Kage had been like a puppet on strings, holding Kushina's hand at Mikoto's orders, silently watching her.
Now suddenly spoken to, he was dazed and didn't know what to say.
'Help her give birth? Does she mean using medical ninjutsu?'
'But is there any ninjutsu that can… directly take the baby out?'
Completely clueless on how to respond, Uchiha Kage actually started seriously considering the difficult question Kushina had thrown at him.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu?", After holding it in for a while, Uchiha Kage gave an answer that seemed to fit the conditions of the question.
"That won't work, the Nine Tails is still sealed inside me. Mind Transfer Jutsu won't work."
Kushina also seriously discussed it.
In her eyes, Uchiha Kage was an omnipotent person, childbirth should be no big deal for him…
Well, actually, she just wanted to talk to Uchiha Kage and distract herself a bit.
Also, to admire her husband's rare helpless and panicked expression as he faced her giving birth.
'So funny. I'm the one giving birth, but my husband is more nervous than I am…'
As she thought this, Kushina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Then use Yin Healing Wound Destruction for a C-section. That way, the baby can come out instantly, and healing can be completed at the same time."
Uchiha Kage really was nervous now.
Suddenly becoming a child's father and a woman's husband had thrown him off balance.
He didn't know what expression or attitude he should have in front of his wife.
Especially with another wife helping with the delivery…
'This dungeon is too hard. I'd rather go fight Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths…'
"No way. If it leaves a scar, that would be a huge loss," Kushina rejected the idea without even thinking.
She didn't care about the answer, she just cared about Uchiha Kage trying so hard to come up with one.
"Ah, it hurts… Hubby, touch me more…", Kushina was no longer satisfied with just holding hands.
"That's not your belly…", Looking at his hand, now placed by Kushina onto an even softer place, Uchiha Kage had mixed feelings as he met the gaze of Uchiha Mikoto, who had just lifted her head from beneath Kushina.
"Geez, hubby's so lewd. The baby's not even born yet and you're already eyeing its food!"
"Kushina, focus! You're giving birth right now!", Mikoto, annoyed, could only warn the red-haired kunoichi with a big belly again.
'This woman, flirting with Kage even while giving birth?'
"Ugh, it hurts so much. I'm never giving hubby another child again," After being warned by Mikoto, Kushina helplessly placed Uchiha Kage's hand back on her belly.
"Did you hear that? Don't take advantage of me when I'm passed out next time… Do it when I'm conscious… That way we can avoid getti—"
"KUSHINA!!!", Uchiha Mikoto really wanted to stuff a sock into Kushina's mouth now.
She was busy and worried sick down there, yet the one giving birth didn't care at all and was just showing affection to her man the whole time.
'Is there no justice?'
Even with the best temper, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Sorry, sorry, Mikoto… I was wrong.", Seeing the usually gentle Uchiha Mikoto getting angry at her again, Kushina quickly acted like a good girl.
"Ah! I almost forgot. This is hubby's first time meeting me, isn't it?", Kushina, not the brightest even before, had only gotten worse since getting pregnant.
Only now did she realize that, theoretically, this was Uchiha Kage's first time meeting her.
"Yeah…"
'Oh, so you do know?'
If he had known that earlier, he wouldn't have tried so hard to pretend to be her husband.
But now, Uchiha Kage finally understood Kushina's quirky personality.
'If this girl really is my disciple and wife, I will definitely have to spank her butt properly.'
———
"Naruto?"
Minato Namikaze was very interested in the boy who stayed outside with him to wait.
Although the boy was wearing a mask, his tone of speech was exactly like Kushina's.
'And the name "Naruto"…'
'Isn't that the name Kushina came up with?'
'Could he be…'
"Is your name Uchiha Naruto?", Minato asked curiously.
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto, but being called Uchiha is fine too… Anyway, Sister Mikoto said she could be my mom."
"Uzumaki?"
'Maybe there's something going on behind the scenes… That's why the teacher let Naruto use Uzumaki as a surname.'
Minato thought that to himself.
"Big bro, are you really the Fourth Hokage?"
Tonight's sky was dark, but the moon was bright.
Naruto also curiously studied the Minato before him.
"One hundred percent real."
Outside, besides him, the Hokage, there were also several ninja guards protecting Kushina.
All of them could prove that he, Minato Namikaze, was the current Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
"That's great! You're my favorite Hokage!"
"R-Really?"
'Where on earth did this kid time travel from?'
Looking at Naruto's sudden admiring gaze, Minato felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Too bad… you died right after I was born, otherwise…"
"I died right after you were born?"
That one offhand comment from Naruto stirred up monstrous waves in Minato's heart.
But very quickly, his excellent mental strength allowed him to calm down again.
'So that's how it is…'
No wonder the teacher sometimes looked at me with such complicated eyes.
"But you died protecting the village, you're the greatest hero of Konoha!"
Realizing he might've said something wrong, Naruto quickly tried to comfort him.
"That's good," Minato admitted that really was a comforting statement.
So comforting, it made him feel ready to die peacefully.
"Naruto, you…"
Just as Minato was about to ask more about the details of his own death, he suddenly noticed the boy in front of him was gradually turning into something like lines, becoming an illusion.
Like a pile of pixels.
Then the lines began to fade, and the boy's body slowly disappeared into the air.
"Teacher! Naruto, he—", Seeing this, Minato hurriedly shouted toward the inside.
———
"So tired…", Even though it was Kushina giving birth, Uchiha Mikoto felt more exhausted than when she gave birth herself.
But thankfully, she finally managed to get Kushina's belly to flatten one way or another.
At the same time, she safely delivered Naruto, newborn baby Naruto.
"So strange, this child isn't crying or fussing at all after birth…", A nearby female medical ninja, seeing this, reached out to open Naruto's swaddle and slap his butt.
But before her hand could land, Naruto started wailing loudly.
Then he looked around with a shocked expression on his face.
