Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

October arrived just like this in Liu Yu’s nervousness.

...

Under the night sky, the roar of the huge monster instantly broke the tranquility of the village. Looking at the huge monster raging not far away, everyone widened their eyes in horror, and tremblingly said the name of the monster "Nine..."

.Nine Tails"

Looking at the horrified crowd, Kyuubi looked up to the sky and roared, then began to condense chakra in his mouth. A huge dark purple chakra collection was formed in Kyuubi's mouth, waiting to be sprayed out of his mouth the next moment...

"no, do not want....."

Liu Yu screamed in pain and sat up from the bed suddenly.

"Huhu-----"

Liu Yu breathed lightly, and reached out to his forehead with his right hand. What he received was a burst of warmth and moisture. When he looked at the place where he was lying before, he saw that it was already wet.

"I actually had a nightmare."

Looking at his current appearance, Liu Yu whispered to himself, he hadn't had a nightmare in an unknown amount of time, but he didn't expect that he would have this nightmare now.

.......

The next morning, Liuyu came to the door of the Hokage's office early to carry out today's duty. After all, he was a member of the Shadow Guard, and he still had to do the work of protecting the Hokage.

Inside the office.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kushina."

Looking at Kakashi in front of him in ANBU uniform, Namikaze Minato folded his hands on the table and said softly. Looking at Kakashi's current appearance, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but reveal a smile. The current Kakashi gave people

The feeling is no longer so cold. It seems that letting Kakashi perform the task of guarding Kushina was the right choice.

"But, it's not over yet..."

Kakashi asked in confusion. Judging from Namikaze Minato's posture, it seems that he is planning to end this mission, but isn't the mission of protecting Kushina not yet completed?

"Regarding the matter of childbirth, it has been decided that the ANBU directly under the Third Hokage will provide protection."

Looking at Kakashi's confused look, Namikaze Minato explained softly. As a jinchuriki, Kushina's power originally used to seal the tailed beast will be greatly weakened during childbirth, and there is a possibility that the nine tails will break free, so Kushina

The production will be carried out in a barrier far away from the village.

"Then I will go back to ANBU to carry out the mission."

After hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Kakashi also knew that he would not be needed for the next super-S-level mission, so he no longer struggled with this issue.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's take a vacation for the time being!"

Namikaze Minato softly rejected Kakashi's request to return to the ANBU. Seeing that Kakashi's condition had improved, Namikaze Minato would naturally not let Kakashi go out to perform ANBU tasks again.

.....

After seeing Kakashi leaving the Hokage's office, Ryūha knocked lightly on the door, and then walked in without getting Minato Namikaze's permission.

"Liuyu, what's the matter with you?"

Looking at Ryuu pushing the door open, Namikaze Minato asked softly. There was no intention of blaming Ryuu for being rude in his tone. He knew that Ryuu, a child, would not come to him for nothing.

"Hokage-sama, Sister Kushina is about to give birth!"

Looking at Namikaze Minato who was asking, Ryūha said directly. After Kakashi finished his mission to protect Kushina, Ryūha knew that Kushina was about to give birth. In other words, it was imminent for Obito to launch the Nine-Tails Plan.

"Um!"

Talking about this issue, Namikaze Minato also became serious and gave a slight hum. Ryuyu, who was closely related to Kushina, deduced Kushina's delivery date through what happened today, which did not surprise him. He now wanted to

I know what Liu Yu wants to do.

"When Sister Kushina gives birth, the power originally used to seal the tailed beast will be greatly weakened, and the nine tails may break free. If nothing happens, Sister Kushina will give birth in a barrier far away from the village.

in production."

Liuyu continued to talk about his deductions, and became more and more excited as he talked.

"What exactly are you trying to express?"

Looking at the slightly excited Ryūha, Namikaze Minato asked seriously.

"I would like to apply to be the escort for this mission."

Looking at Namikaze Minato with a serious face, Ryūha finally revealed his purpose. In the original book, those who served as guards outside the barrier were all ANBU directly under the Third Hokage. But those guys were under the influence of Obito who had the power of God.

There was no big use in front of him, so this time Liu Yu planned to go and perform the escort mission himself.

"You are worried..."

Looking at Riuyu's sincere eyes, Namikaze Minato asked softly. Before Namikaze Minato could finish speaking, Riuyu nodded lightly. Obito would definitely take this opportunity to launch an attack on Konoha.

White Zetsu can easily help Obito find the place where Kushina gave birth. As for the protective barrier, it is useless against Obito's divine power. Therefore, if you want to stop Obito, you have to have Ryūha.

"Don't worry, I will protect Kushina this time."

Looking at Ryuu's sincere eyes, Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly and rejected Ryuu's application.

"But...."

Liu Yu wanted to say something else.

"I am a father and Kushina's husband. I will protect them."

..

.....

Under the setting sun, in front of the commemorative monument. Kakashi half-crouched in front of a tombstone, gently wiping away the non-existent dust. When Kakashi's hand passed by, he could clearly see the words 'Nohara Rin' written on it.

'Three words.

He casually removed the dead branches from the flower pot beside the tomb and replaced them with the flowers he had just brought. Then he added a little water to the flowers from the small bucket he brought with him.

"Sorry! Lin, I haven't seen you for a while, but it's not that I have forgotten you."

After placing the flowers, Kakashi half-crouched in front of the tomb and apologized.

"Although this matter is being treated as confidential, I still feel it is necessary to tell you that Teacher Minato's child is about to be born."

Kakashi spoke softly to people who no longer existed, talking about this topic that was supposed to be confidential. Now Kakashi would only open his heart in front of Lin and Obito's graves.

"His generation will not have to experience war. It would be better if we could be born later."

Thinking that Mr. Minato's child would be born in a peaceful environment, Kakashi's face covered by the mask could not help but curve slightly, but then Kakashi's tone became lower again. He

I also hope that he will be born in a peaceful era so that he will not experience the pain of losing his relatives and companions.

"I have to go and report to Obito. I'm leaving first, Lin."

After finishing speaking, Kakashi stood up and took his things with him to go see Obito again.

"really!"

Ryūha, who was hiding in a tree not far away, said to himself, it was exactly the same as what he remembered. After Kakashi finished his mission of guarding Kushina and received a vacation from Namikaze Minato, Kakashi and

As in the original work, he took the time to visit Obito and Lin at the Memorial Monument.

After learning that Kakashi had ended his mission to protect Kushina, Ryūha knew that Kushina was about to give birth. If it was the same as in the original work, Obito should have appeared near the memorial monument after Kakashi left.

.

Therefore, after finishing his duty in the morning, Ryūha followed Kakashi secretly. Relying on the powerful concealment of the recluse, even Kakashi, an ANBU elite, could not completely detect that someone was following him.

Hidden in the tree, Ryūha quietly waited for Obito to appear. Namikaze Minato refused to take up the escort mission, so Ryūha could only keep him completely when Obito appeared this time, and he must not let him again.

The misbehavior continues.

...

Riuyu didn't wait long before Obito appeared in black robes and a black-striped mask. After Obito appeared, he went straight to Lin's grave and pulled out the flowers that Kakashi had placed in front of Lin's grave.

, and then threw it aside harshly.

In Obito's view, Kakashi, who killed Lin with his own hands, was not worthy at all.

Seeing Obito throw away the flowers in a paranoid manner, Ryūha just silently prepared to take action.
