Chapter 534
[Kushina briefly recounted how Uzumaki Mito became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and how she was chosen as the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the end of her life.]
[Seeing Naruto's angry face defending her, Kushina did not hide anything and frankly expressed the pressure and suffering she was under at the time, and also told Naruto what Uzumaki Mito said to comfort her. 】
【"We were brought here as containers for the Nine-Tails, but before that, we need to find love to fill it... In this way, even as the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, we can be happy..."】
【Hearing this, Naruto couldn't wait to ask, "Then, mom... are you happy as a Jinchūriki?"】
【Kushina didn't hesitate to answer, and said softly, "Yes."】
["Tsk tsk, if Kushina Uzumaki hadn't fought on the battlefield during the Third World War, we might not know the specific identity of the second Nine-Tails Jinchūriki until now. Even so, she felt pressure and torment. I wonder what would happen if she fell into Naruto's situation. ”]
[“It shows that Naruto has an abnormally good mentality, so everyone suspected that he was brainwashed by Konoha at the beginning of Tianmu!”]
[“What a good child. Compared with his own miserable situation, he is more concerned about his mother’s mood after becoming a Jinchūriki...”]
[“Even the enemy tailed beast can empathize, so mother is even more sympathetic.”]
[Looking at her regretless smile, Naruto also smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. After calming down, Naruto asked about the Nine-Tails incident sixteen years ago. Hearing this, Kushina looked serious and began to tell the story of sixteen years ago, which happened on the day Naruto was born, October 10th sixteen years ago.]
[On this day, the Third Hokage and his wife came to the Fourth Hokage and his wife’s home and told them in detail that the seal of the tailed beast would weaken during childbirth. Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, the place of delivery will be set up in a secret barrier outside the village. 】
【After explaining the next arrangements, the two Hokage went their separate ways to complete their respective tasks, and Kushina, who was pregnant, was led by the Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, to the secret barrier outside the village. ]
["I've never heard of the saying that the seal of the tailed beast will weaken during childbirth..."]
["After all, there are very few female Jinchūriki, and even fewer who can survive to the stage of childbirth. It's normal not to know."]
["Here we go, did something unexpected happen during childbirth, or did Afei do something secretly?"]
["I tend to think it's the second one. Konoha has been prepared for the first one, right?"]
[On the street leading to the main gate of Konoha, Kushina happened to meet her good friend Uchiha Mikoto passing by with a baby in her arms, so she immediately came forward and greeted her excitedly: "Is it a girl?"]
["No, it's a boy." Uchiha Mikoto smiled and replied, and then the two exchanged the names of their children. Kushina, who was giving birth for the first time, wanted to ask for some experience in childbirth, but was immediately stopped by Sarutobi Biwako and forcibly dragged away. 】
【"Your delivery is a secret. Try to avoid acquaintances on the road." Sarutobi Biwako taught him. Looking at Kushina who was apologizing nonchalantly by touching the back of her head, Sarutobi Biwako said unhappily: "Also, leaving the village is also a secret. You have to endure the pain even if you start to have labor."】
【"Ah...Okay!"】
["Hey! It's Sasuke!"]
["Hahaha, it does look a bit like a girl!"]
["Ah, these two guys have already met at such a young age, no wonder When they grow up, their relationship is so awkward. "]
["Hehe, this is the expectation of the two mothers. Naruto and Sasuke are destined to be good friends!"]
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, then looked at Itachi beside him with some curiosity, and asked: "Does mom know his mother?"
"Yeah." Itachi nodded to show his affirmation: "Aunt Kushina is a good friend that mom knew when she was studying at the ninja school, and dad has a good relationship with the fourth generation Hokage."
"Is that so..." Sasuke frowned.
Although this is his mother's expectation, Sasuke really doesn't want to have a deep relationship with Naruto at the moment, especially after seeing that their relationship will become so awkward in the future.
["This woman is the wife of the third generation Hokage, right? Looking at her attitude towards Sasuke's mother, don't you think there is a problem? "]
["Are you talking about the rejection of Uchiha by the Konoha high-level? This will have to wait until the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Now they should just be a little wary. There is nothing wrong with this approach. "]
["Uwaaaaaaa! It hurts so much! "]
[In the middle of the night, a heart-wrenching cry of pain was heard from a well-protected cave. Minato was anxiously paying attention to Kushina's situation while trying his best to suppress the Nine-Tails that could break the seal at any time.]
['So strong! The Nine-Tails is trying desperately to break free!' Feeling the seal that was faintly collapsing, Minato cheered Kushina with sweat on his forehead: "Come on, Kushina! Come on, Naruto!"]
[At the same time, outside the cave, a figure wearing a black cloak and a mask on his face quietly solved all the guarding Anbu, and then ignored the surrounding barriers and sank directly into the mountain wall.]
["Hahaha, a scream full of energy, if nothing else, Naruto will definitely be born smoothly!"]
["No way, relying on the Fourth Hokage to suppress the Nine-Tails alone? Can't you find a few more people, or set up other seals to limit the power of the Nine-Tails? "]
["You're worried that it will affect the original seal. After all, the more seals, the better. If you don't control them well, it will affect the chakra of the Jinchūriki himself. So only masters like the Fourth Hokage can do it here."]
["It's really A Fei who's doing this. With that ability to ignore attacks, sneaking into combat is too easy for him. ”]
[Inside the cave, just when Minato was about to lose the seal and the Nine-Tails was about to break the seal, a loud cry of a baby replaced Kushina's cry of pain.]
[Minato looked at the baby held in Sarutobi Biwako's arms, his face was dull at first, then he wiped away the tears that flowed involuntarily, and smiled happily: "Hahaha... From today on, I will be a father..."]
[Kushina also turned her head and looked at the baby held in front of her, and whispered weakly but could not hide her joy: "Naruto... I finally see you..."]
