Wandering the ninja world from the Valley of the End

"Jiraiya-sensei?" Looking at the people on the sofa, Minato exclaimed, "When did you return to the village?"

Jiraiya laughed loudly and waved his hands, "Sit down and say, sit down and say, I just returned to the village today and I heard that you became Hokage, so I came over here to congratulate you. Why, you won't find me an annoying old man."

"What did Mr. Jiraiya say? It's too late for Minato and I to be happy that you can come." A burst of laughter came, and Uzumaki Kushina in an apron came over, holding a plate of dishes in her hands, and was slowly Radiating heat.

Jiraiya continued to laugh and said: "Kushina is getting better and better at talking. Sure enough, it will be different after getting married."

When Kushina lowered herself to place the food, he quickly whispered to Minato beside him: "You have a way of doing it. The old Pepper has become such a wife. I am impressed by you, Minato."

"Jiraiya-sensei..." Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I heard you!" Uzumaki Kushina raised her head and showed a bright smile to Jiraiya, but Jiraiya trembled all over and immediately sat upright.

Kushina snorted and turned back to the kitchen.

"I take back what I just said, Minato, you've been working really hard these days." After the other party left, Jiraiya gave his disciple a sympathetic look.

"Haha...haha..." At this time, Minato still didn't know what to say except laughing.

The happy time passed quickly, and soon the three of them gathered around the dining table to have dinner, without talking during the meal.

After eating, Jiraiya took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, saying with emotion: "Konoha is better, especially Kushina's craftsmanship, I never tire of it."

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina was sitting opposite him, and the sound of running water came from the kitchen, where Minato was washing the dishes.

Kushina smiled and said: "The teacher will come here often, but Minato and I heard that the teacher has experienced a lot of things outside. It seems that one of Konoha ANBU's missions was in danger, and the teacher happened to pass by to help rescue him."

Hearing this, Jiraiya waved his hands with a smile and said, "They are all trivial matters. Trivial matters are nothing compared to Minato taking over as Hokage."

"It's not like Jiraiya-sensei's style to be so humble." On the side, Minato walked out after washing all the dishes and said with a chuckle.

Jiraiya snorted softly, took out a book from his backpack and said, "It's not like a disciple should slander a teacher. I, sir, have a lot of things that I don't care about. Now, you became Hokage and I haven't given you a gift yet." , this is a new book I wrote during my trip, "The Legend of the Perseverant Ninja", and I give it to you as a gift. This is signed by me, so you must cherish it."

Minato quickly took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, teacher. By the way, I don't know how long the teacher plans to stay in Konoha this time. Will he embark on another journey?"

Jiraiya thought: "This time, the itinerary has not been determined yet, but I should stay for two or three months. As for the journey, of course, I still have a lot of inspiration to use."

Noticing the disappointment on their faces, Jiraiya couldn't help but wonder: "Well, what's wrong? Even if you can't let me go, you shouldn't have this expression."

Minato sat down and said: "Actually, this is the case, teacher. Kushina is pregnant and has been for more than a month. We have calculated the due date, because it should be around October this year. It is a pity that the teacher will not be in the village at that time. "

"What, Pepper is pregnant?" Jiraiya exclaimed and looked at Kushina in disbelief.

"Yes, and we have already thought of the name, so we will use the name of the protagonist in Jiraiya-sensei's last novel, Naruto." Kushina said with a smile, and looked down at her belly gently.

Jiraiya said excitedly: "It's so abominable that you didn't tell me this kind of thing until now. Where is the wine? Kushina, go get the wine. I want to have a good drink with Minato tonight."

"No!" Kushina slapped her palm on the table in front of her and stood up very domineeringly, "The doctor told me that you can't drink alcohol during pregnancy, you can't even smell the smell of wine, so Jiraiya-sensei, Minato I can’t drink with you tonight.”

Namikaze Minato on the side shrugged, showing his own helpless expression.

"It's really boring. Even though I'm pregnant, I'm still so overbearing. I'm even more unreasonable than Tsunade." Jiraiya muttered, "Forget it, if you don't want to drink, just drink. But I won't be in Konoha in October, but it doesn't matter. I I will bring gifts for little Naruto when I come back. Which country's specialty do you want, the Country of Rivers? The Country of Tea? The Country of Snow?"

……

Jiraiya stayed at Minato's house until about nine o'clock in the evening, then got up and left.

The next day, Minato got up on time to prepare breakfast, and then went to the Hokage Building to start the day's work.

Konoha still maintained his unique rhythm and moved forward unhurriedly, while Kushina's belly gradually swelled. Minato was leaving the Hokage building earlier and earlier.

Jiraiya stayed in Konoha for more than two months, and embarked on a journey again in mid-April. The tentative destination was the far distant Snow Country, and he had no plans to return to Konoha in the short term.

But this was just an interlude. Over the years, the people in the village had long been accustomed to Jiraiya's coming and going.

Time unknowingly came to the golden month of October, and Minato, who had succeeded Hokage for almost a year, had become more and more proficient in handling various things.

However, his recent thoughts are not on Konoha's political affairs. The reason is very simple. Kushina's due date has arrived. According to calculations, she will give birth on October 10th.

This matter is not only a matter for their family, but also a matter for the entire Konoha. For this reason, the retired third generation Hokage Sarutobi came out again and accepted the things from Minato's hands in the recent time, allowing him to have more Spend more time with Kushina.

After all, the people of Konoha Village are not too familiar with Kyuubi. Although Kushina said that with her here, there will be no problems, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and other people of Konoha Village still can't believe it.

Regarding this matter, we can only say that people’s inherent cognition is difficult to break easily, especially when this inherent cognition has existed for decades.

Not to mention, when Uzumaki Mito died at that time, the Kyuubi had once made a big fuss in Konoha Village. That time there was a suppression by Byakuya, but this time, there was no suppression by Byakuya.

For this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen even came to Namikaze Minato's house to give instructions.

Namikaze Minato also took this matter to heart, but even Namikaze Minato himself did not think about what would happen.

Two days passed in a flash, and soon we came to the day of October 48, Konoha 10, which was also the birthday of Naruto Uzumaki in the original work.
