Chapter 467 The Prelude to an Era: Mikoto Kushina is Pregnant
"Confronting the darkness within and gaining the Nine-Tails' approval? So that's the secret to becoming the perfect Jinchuriki..." The Fourth Minato looked at the scroll's contents and suddenly realized, then looked up with gratitude, "Well then, thank you for your hard work this time, Sasuke, Kakashi."
Unexpectedly, sending Sasuke this time not only resulted in successfully signing a peace treaty with Kumogakure to end the war, but also brought back such good news!
If it were Kushina, she might actually be able to achieve the level of an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Yes, this is what I should do." Sasuke nodded calmly, neither taking credit nor showing any arrogance.
He didn't care, but Kakashi stepped forward with a glint in his eyes. "The envoy from Kumogakure will arrive in Konoha in about two days to deliver the alliance treaty. Please ask Minato-sensei to prepare in advance so that everyone knows that the war is over and peace has arrived."
This is a great opportunity for the Fourth Hokage to demonstrate his prestige as Hokage, how could we not spread the word and promote it widely...
"Of course, I'll announce it together with Ishikawa and the others when they return. Kirigakure has officially signed a peace treaty with the village." The Fourth Hokage nodded in agreement, while giving Kakashi an approving look, somewhat surprised by his rapidly developing political acumen!
So, Kakashi is finally going to become his right-hand man...?
"The Hidden Mist Village has signed a peace treaty! Then why haven't Fourth Hokage, Senior Brother Ishikawa, and the others returned yet?" Sasuke asked curiously, not surprised that the Hidden Mist Village had signed the treaty.
Although his strength had surpassed that of his senior brother Ishikawa, he still dared not underestimate his opponent's power! Especially that ability to make people travel through time.
"They have other missions to complete, and judging by the timeline, they should be back in the next day or two," the Fourth Hokage said, scratching his head and keeping the others in suspense. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he told the two to go back and rest.
Although Sasuke was curious, he was too preoccupied with the fact that something that would determine his life or death was about to happen, so he immediately went home without any further gossip.
Kakashi immediately followed. This mission had greatly benefited him in his application of the Lightning Release Armor, and he needed to go back to consolidate his training!
Meanwhile, at Konoha Hospital.
"Congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant..."
The doctor looked at the test results and congratulated the beautiful woman in front of him, causing Uchiha Mikoto to tremble and subconsciously cover her lower abdomen with tears welling up in her eyes.
Pregnant? Based on the current timeline, is it you, Sasuke...?
"What? You said I'm going to be a mom??" Just as Mikoto's thoughts were overflowing with maternal love, a familiar shout of surprise suddenly came from the medical room next door.
"This is... Kushina?" Mikoto frowned and asked subconsciously, then heard the doctor next door confirm, "Yes, Lady Kushina. You are pregnant. Please tell the Fourth Hokage this good news as soon as possible."
"What a coincidence that Lady Kushina and Lady Mikoto are pregnant at the same time!" The doctor, who had also heard the voice, laughed and looked forward to it.
One is the son of the Fourth Hokage, and the other is the third son of the now-famous Uchiha clan. These two will undoubtedly represent the next era of Konoha!
"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."
Mikoto nodded gently, then turned and went out, only to bump into Kushina, who was in a great mood and looking very happy.
"Huh? What are you doing here, Mikoto-chan??" Kushina asked awkwardly, her face slightly flushed, as she saw her best friend Mikoto coming out of the gynecology ward.
I hope the other party won't find out she's pregnant!
How embarrassing...
"Hehe, I'm the same as you. Maybe our children will become good friends in the future!" Mikoto, who had given birth once, didn't hide anything and stared at Kushina's belly with a generous smile.
"Huh? Mikoto-chan, you're pregnant too??" Instantly, Kushina forgot her shyness, surprise, and gossip.
After Mikoto nodded happily in confirmation, Kushina's eyes lit up and she immediately dragged the other person out of the hospital.
"Slow down, slow down! Be careful not to hurt the baby in the first three months!" Mikoto hurriedly shouted to stop her, while slowing down her pace to hold Kushina back.
She's carrying Sasuke, the hope of the Uchiha clan, and she can't afford to have anything go wrong here!
"Uh, sorry, I'm used to it, I'm used to it!" Kushina hurriedly gave an awkward laugh, then leaned close to Mikoto's ear and whispered, "By the way, Mikoto, does childbirth hurt? And also, is taking care of a child tiring? I hate those naughty kids the most..."
"It's alright, you'll see when the time comes!" Mikoto glanced meaningfully at Kushina and smiled, then confidently patted her lower abdomen and blurted out, "But I believe that little Sasuke will definitely be very well-behaved and obedient."
"Little Sasuke??" Kushina was taken aback. Wasn't that the name of the famous illegitimate son of Fugaku?
Why did Mikoto give her child such a name?
"Uh, the specific name still needs to be confirmed by Fugaku. I was just saying it casually, so don't overthink it..." Mikoto quickly tried to cover it up, almost forgetting that Sasuke had said the child couldn't be called Sasuke anymore.
However, she still really wanted the child to be named Sasuke!
"Oh, I see... I understand now..."
Seeing Mikoto's melancholy eyes, Kushina, in a self-righteous and amused tone, suddenly realized something.
Is Mikoto trying to completely deny the existence of Sasuke's illegitimate son? Or is she even going to take away his name along with him?
Wow, as expected of the Uchiha clan leader's wife...
"Go for it, Mikoto! I support you!" Kushina cheered Mikoto with a fist pump, then turned and walked away with a smile, leaving Mikoto looking completely bewildered.
She still had to prepare ingredients for dinner, and then tell him the good news after Shuimen got off work!
Well, I should also mention some gossip about my best friend Mikoto, since her illegitimate son Sasuke is now a Konoha Jonin highly regarded by Minato.
A moment later, at the Uchiha clan's territory.
"She's... pregnant?" Upon hearing the news brought back by Mikoto, Fugaku and Sasuke, who had just sat down at home, stood up at the same time, their eyes filled with joy.
"Sasuke, it must be Sasuke!" Fugaku murmured excitedly, rubbing his hands together. Sasuke, standing beside him, was both surprised and felt very awkward.
Fortunately, the unexpected thing he was worried about didn't happen. Although he was a little late, "he" still came!
Yes, according to my birth date, my mother conceived me around this time.
"Big brother, so Itachi is going to have a younger brother too??" Little Itachi tugged at Sasuke's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "But Father, why did you say your name, big brother??"
"That's little Sasuke, you can also call him little Itachi, he doesn't have a name yet." Sasuke casually brushed it off, and was about to suggest to his parents that he should be renamed when his mother, Mikoto, suddenly spoke up with a surprising statement.
"Oh, right, Kushina is pregnant too, according to today's checkup! The Fourth Hokage is going to have a baby..."
"Naruto? How is that possible??" Sasuke froze in place.
Naruto is three months younger than him, so how come he's younger now?
Could their existence affect the past and cause Naruto to disappear?
