Chapter 167 Expected Date of Delivery

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

Mikoto covered her mouth and smiled.

Kushina stuck out her tongue and smiled, "After all, I have never experienced it before...and I heard it is very scary."

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

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

"Thanks."

Kushina held Mikoto's shoulders and thanked her.

The two then parted.

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

This sneaky figure is Kakashi, who is 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 hips and her head raised.

Kakashi heard this and jumped down from the house behind.

The Uzumaki clan has Kagura's inner eye, which is as insightful as the Byakugan, so Kakashi's movements are naturally known to Kushina.

"Kushina-sama." Kakashi saluted respectfully.

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

This silenced Kakashi.

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

But Kushina didn't hesitate and said: "It's up to you. Let's go find Minato first. Your mission is probably over."

"End?... Got it."

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

Kushina is about to give birth, which means that her mission to protect Kushina is coming to an end.

The subsequent protection 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-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha.

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

Kushina walked in front and opened the door directly.

I saw 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 with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but when he saw Kushina, he immediately stood up and gave up the Hokage's throne to Kushina.

Kushina didn't have any excuses, sat down on it, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it's so tiring to walk with a person in your belly."

Minato squatted down and caressed Kushina's belly, and said with a very doting expression: "Thank you for your hard work."

I think back then, Kushina's dream as a girl was to become the first female Hokage in Konoha.

Now, although Kushina is not the Hokage, the Hokage has to give up his seat when he sees her. Thinking about it, it can be regarded as realizing his dream from another direction.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to sit upright and said: "Kushina, your due date is approaching October 10th, and you will not be able to move around at will."

"You must stay in the barrier jointly deployed by the barrier team and Uchiha Che. You can't leave until the production is completed and the seal is re-strengthened."

"During this period, your safety will be entrusted to the elite protection of ANBU, while the production process will be taken care of by my wife Biwako and her disciples."

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

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

Minato took Kushina's hand and said gently: "The Third Generation is also thinking about your safety."

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

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'll give you a month's leave."

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

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

After Kakashi resigned, 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 for the due date.

Kakashi was walking on the road. It was getting late, and the autumn sunset was a bright red glow, which was very beautiful.

Kakashi looked at the sky. After relaxing from the long-term alert state, Kakashi felt a lot of feelings in his heart, which he expressed through the sunset scenery.

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

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

He replaced the vase in front of the tombstone with fresh flowers, then knelt on the ground and said to the tombstone, "Lin, Minato-sensei's child will be born soon."

"My guardianship mission has been successfully completed."

"The next step is to wait for Mrs. Kushina to give birth to her child safely."

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

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

"I have become stronger, but it is not enough. I will become stronger until I find your murderer, the masked man, and then kill him."

"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 black robes and a tiger-skin mask ripped off the flowers Kakashi had placed for Lin.

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

"There is no need for this world to exist anymore."

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