Starting the fourth generation Hokage

On the night of October 9, the 48th year of Konoha.

In a mansion somewhere in Konoha Village, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely serious. The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and his wife Biwako were sitting upright, and opposite them was a young couple.

"Kushina, you are about to give birth, and there are some things I need to tell you clearly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the red-haired pregnant woman in front of him with a solemn expression, and spoke in a tone of admonition.

Uzumaki Kushina also had a serious expression. It was rare for the Third Hokage and his wife to come to her house at such a late time. She probably guessed the reason.

Because tomorrow was her due date, her husband Minato had revealed to her in advance that because of her status as a Jinchūriki, the village leaders might make special arrangements for her when she gave birth. But what she didn't expect was that this notice and arrangement was not conveyed to her until the day before the birth.

But it was very surprising that the Third Hokage came to convey it in person.

Perhaps he understood what Kushina was thinking, Sarutobi Hiruzen then continued: "Because of the precedent of the previous Mito-sama, the Nine-Tails is very likely to break the seal when a female Jinchūriki gives birth. In order to be on the safe side, you will have to give birth in a barrier a little further away from the village tomorrow."

The words of the Third Generation made Kushina slightly stunned. Although she had long understood that her identity as a Jinchūriki was rather special, she did not expect that she would have to do this just in case. Asking her to give birth far away from the village was undoubtedly because she was afraid that the Nine-Tails would accidentally break the seal and cause huge losses to Konoha Village.

Although she had long been accustomed to having the Nine-Tails in her body and had been treated unfairly since she was a child, every time she encountered such a thing, she would inevitably feel a little lost in her heart.

"It's related to the seal. I will also protect you when you give birth."

At this time, a gentle voice sounded from beside her, and then Kushina felt a warm hand holding her right hand on the table.

There is no doubt that the familiar temperature naturally came from her husband Minato Namikaze. She turned her head and saw the tall blond man, who was looking at her with a gentle and reassuring smile as always.

Sure enough, even though they had been together for so many years, her husband Minato's sunny smile was still so infectious and charming in her eyes, making her feel involuntarily conquered. She didn't know what she remembered, and a blush appeared on her face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who pretended not to notice these details, continued: "Minato, Anbu's Daci, and my wife Biwako, will be with you at that time."

"All of this must be done in secret."

Kushina nodded. Biwako was the middle-aged woman sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time. She was about 50 years old, just like the third generation. It is said that she is doing clerical work beside the two consultants in the administrative department, Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu.

And Anbu's Daci is a senior medical ninja. It is enough to be reassuring to have them deliver babies.

"Of course, my Zhili Anbu will also be responsible for the escort..."

Finally, the third generation finally thought of the issue of escort safety and added.

After explaining all these matters, he lowered his head and drank tea.

"After finishing the work at hand, I will also go to prepare in advance..."

After seeing the third generation finished speaking, Namikaze Minato's voice sounded again at the right time, and then Kushina felt the palm covering her hand, gently pinching herself. And she also subconsciously held it with her backhand, and smiled slightly like an obsession.

After a long time, Namikaze Minato left.

Obviously, as the current Hokage, there are still many things to deal with, especially tomorrow he will go out of the village in person to take on the important task of protecting the Jinchūriki's childbirth. Prior arrangements are of course indispensable.

Facing the intimate interaction between the two young couples in front of him, even Biwako on the side felt a little embarrassed this time. As a last resort, she also chose the same tactics as Sarutobi Hiruzen to drink tea.

Only after Minato disappeared did Biwako speak: "Kushina. Tomorrow, I will take you outside the village..."

"..."

What embarrassed her again was that Kushina didn't seem to hear her words. The latter was looking at the direction where Minato left, still with a silly smile on his face.

"Ahem, Kushina!" Biwako had to deliberately increase his voice.

"Ah... yes."

Kushina, who finally came to her senses, was also a little embarrassed. With a shy smile, she hurriedly responded: "Thank you, Biwako..."

"..."

At this time, the village was brightly lit, and the streets of Konoha Village were constantly crowded at night, and it was extremely prosperous.

It has been almost three years since the Third Ninja World War. Although Konoha fought against enemies on all sides in the last war and paid a great price to win, Konoha Village, as the largest country, the Land of Fire, has a strong ability to recover after the war. Even though it is no longer as strong as Konoha during the first and second generations, and far ahead of the other four countries, it is still the leader among the five major countries.

The Konoha ninjas and villagers walking on the streets did not know that at this time, on the Hokage Face Rock, above the head of the Fourth Hokage stone statue on the far right, a black-robed man wearing a one-eyed tiger-patterned mask was watching the prosperous scene below indifferently.

For a long time, he did not say a word. His figure did not move at all, as if he had merged into the surrounding darkness.

If you look carefully, you can see that the one eye exposed under his mask is a red three-magatama Sharingan...

"Ah, do you also miss your hometown?"

At some point, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

The next second, a humanoid figure with light green hair and a white body emerged from beneath the masked man.

"What are you doing here?" The masked man did not answer, and he did not show the slightest surprise or surprise at the sudden appearance of the person next to him. Instead, he asked in a displeased tone.

"It's really cold..." The white humanoid didn't seem to be angry after being questioned. He just complained a little and continued to say in a sinister manner: "Of course my mission here is to help you."

"Are you looking down on me?" The masked man snorted and finally turned his head to glance at the White Jue clone.

At the same time, the three magatama Sharingan under his mask suddenly erupted with a burst of enchanting light, which caught people's attention.

"I have made complete preparations. Even if the Jinchuuriki is protected by a golden flash, it cannot hinder my plan to destroy Konoha!"

"Although I am looking forward to this showdown between master and apprentice, it seems that the Kyuubi alone cannot destroy Konoha, right?" the White Zetsu clone said with a slightly innocent tone. He seemed to be completely unable to sense what Obito was showing at this time. He showed a general murderous aura.

Of course Uchiha Obito understood that the facts were exactly what the White Zetsu clone said. The reason why he came up with this idea was because he accidentally heard the news that Kakashi accidentally said in front of Konoha Memorial Monument that Kushina was about to give birth. From this, he came up with the opportunity to use Kyuubi to destroy Konoha. Ye's thoughts.

But at this moment, he was still in a somewhat crazy state, especially when he looked at the brightly lit and prosperous Konoha Village below, the cold hatred and despair kept growing in his heart.

"Perhaps I should remind you that what you are about to do is not in Madara-sama's plan." Bai Zetsu's tone was relaxed and playful.

Assisting Obito to complete the Eye of the Moon plan is Uchiha Madara's top priority for Zetsu.

"Madara-sama?" After mentioning this name, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but fell into a brief silence. At this time, his expression was also blocked by the mask and no one could see it.

After a long time, a colder voice suddenly came from under the mask: "It seems I should remind you that I am Uchiha Madara now!"

…

Late at night, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Shuikan's home.

After the three generations and Biwako left, Kushina hummed a song and did some housework as usual. Although she was about to give birth, her pregnant belly was not an obstacle at all.

After doing all this, she sat on the sofa to rest. Although it was already time to go to bed, she didn't feel sleepy. She glanced secretly at the ajar door to the side, and through the crack in the door she could see that the light was still on inside.

That room was the study where Namikaze Minato worked.

Kushina Uzumaki tiptoed towards her husband's study with her pregnant belly in full swing. But as soon as she walked outside the door, she vaguely heard some strange sounds coming from the study.

"Fuck, where is this?"

"..."
