[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

There are still ten months until Kushina's due date.

After learning the news, the decisive and shrewd Yondaime Hokage continued to giggle at his two subordinates in the office for two days.

In addition to the joy of "being a father", there is also a headache that comes one after another - that is, what kind of name should he give his child.

"Teacher, don't worry, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"Ah, you will understand me when you become parents, so you better prepare early."

This kind of conversation would happen from time to time during Yuzuha and Kakashi's debriefing.

So much so that after the report, they both could still hear him whispering about what kind of name he should give.

Then, the two of them saw him messing up his brilliant blond hair in embarrassment, lying on the table and starting to laugh uncontrollably.

Kakashi & Yuzuha:......

On how to save the teacher who starts acting stupid for the fifth time

The two of them both sighed, couldn't help but put down their reports, and looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Not surprisingly, both of them saw the helplessness in their eyes.

Yuzuha shrugged and was about to speak when Minato, who hadn't heard a sound in his peripheral vision for a long time, finally raised his head.

He looked at the two speechless subordinates and said enthusiastically: "Have you finally finished the report? Then come and help me refer to the names."

Please, it’s been a while since I finished reporting, teacher.

Yu Ye slandered crazily.

Kakashi coughed, took a step forward and said, "Hokage-sama, we just reported that the Flower Kingdom invited our senior officials to..."

"Ah? What is the flower country?"

The corner of Yuzuha's mouth under the mask couldn't help but twitch.

After a period of weird silence, Kakashi's voice sounded a little weak again: "Ah... just..."

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

A few days later, Namikaze Minato returned to his normal state and turned back into the shrewd and capable Fourth Hokage.

At the same time, Kakashi also received the long-term task of "secretly protecting Kushina Uzumaki".

——"Let him see the whole process of human beings giving birth to life, and stay away from the dark missions of ANBU."

"What about Yuzuha?" After receiving this special task, Kakashi thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but ask his teacher.

The blond young man raised his eyebrows and replied: "Someone must take over your job. I have already discussed it with her, and she has agreed."

In the still, wet and cold night, heavy snow fell again, dyeing the village in white.

ANBU Building, Sixth Team Lounge.

"My part has been written, here it is for you." The silver-haired boy handed the scroll to Yuzuha, who was leaning on his head while writing the report.

She didn't even raise her face, she just stretched out a hand toward him and responded casually: "Well, I'll sort it out later."

Kakashi responded and placed the scroll in her palm.

After doing this, he couldn't help but glance at the high-level files on her desk, and silently lowered his eyes, "This period of time may be hard for you."

"Be careful when doing tasks..."

"I know," Yuye, whose train of thought was interrupted, put down the pen in her hand and took some time out of her busy schedule to roll her eyes at him, "I didn't expect you to be so verbose, Kakashi."

Kakashi:  …

A drop of cold sweat streaked across his forehead.

The silver-haired boy rolled his eyes subconsciously, quickly retracted his unnecessary emotions, and turned around to leave.

When eating in the cafeteria the next day, Kakashi finally understood the reason why this Uchiha did not accept this long-term mission.

"It's all because they gave me too much," she heard her explain. "Fortunately, I'm still qualified for Kakashi's task."

"Huh? In order to make money, senior has really worked hard," Xi Yan added teasingly, "But senior is still single, there is no need to work so hard."

It's to make plans for leaving the village in the future, Kakashi answered silently in his heart.

You are so realistic about working hard to make money.

Thoughts are fleeting.

By the time he reacted, the two of them had already walked away side by side.

The grievances of other ninjas came to my ears: "Ah, today's food is still not delicious as always."

"Be content, it's better than us taking military food pills every day." I don't know who continued, with a more decadent tone than the previous person.

He turned and left silently, trying to find a place to sit down.

After walking a few steps, Kakashi saw Akai wearing a green jumpsuit with sharp eyes.

As if telepathically, the watermelon head turned his head as fast as lightning and met his eyes.

The noise in my ears seemed to dissipate and turned into boundless silence.

Kakashi took a step back slightly: Oops!

The next moment, a shout that could penetrate the entire cafeteria sounded: "Kakashi, let's have a duel of youth!"

Since that time, he rarely saw Yuzuha Uchiha again.

At the beginning, Kakashi could still see her and another Uchiha standing in the building chatting for a while.

Occasionally, she can be seen standing with other children on the street buying sweets.

...Have you finally found a new friend?

Kakashi actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief rising in his heart.

In the next few months, when he accompanied Kushina to deliver meals, he would occasionally bump into her standing in the office reporting on her work, her face looking very tired.

After coming out of the Hokage's office, Yuzuha was not in a hurry to go home.

Instead, she sat down on the roof not far away and stared at the scenery in the distance without moving.

Over there is...

The silver-haired boy looked in her direction——

What caught his eye was indeed the fire shadow rock engraved with eternity. Even the sunshine was as bright as when he was late.

……

There are still three months until Kushina's due date.

In mid-July of Konoha 48, the second child of the Uchiha clan leader was born.

It is said that the child's name is Uchiha Sasuke - the same name as the Sandaime's father.

When Uchiha Itachi talked about his younger brother with Yuzuha, his dark pupils were filled with light, like fireflies rising in the snow.

How to describe that emotion?

Yuzuye guessed that it was probably like the warmth that would naturally show in Mingshu's eyes when he mentioned her.

——If I have to say it, it’s my brother’s love.

The next day, after she reported to Minato about the Uchiha clan, she casually mentioned the matter to her superiors.

This made the fourth generation Hokage, who was already very anxious about his child's name, even more depressed and discouraged.

Just when Yuzuye wanted to say something to comfort her, she saw the blond young man's eyebrows stern, and he clenched his right fist in the palm of his left hand, "Okay! We also want to give the child a famous name!"

Yuye:......

"Just call..." He opened his mouth to say.

The girl immediately showed a horrified expression and quickly interrupted him, "Teacher, don't say it. It won't sound good if you say it."

As soon as the words came out, Minato's face was full of frustration, "Really..."

Fortunately, the matter of the child's name was finally resolved satisfactorily.

Jiraiya-sama, one of the three ninjas who traveled all over the world according to Mr. Minato, returned to the village. He stopped by to visit the Yondaime Hokage and his wife.

According to Minato-sensei, the answer lies in "The Legend of Perseverance" written by Jiraiya-sama.

"Guess? The child's name." He said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with the name given by his teacher.

Seeing the teacher's confident look, Yuzuha took the manuscript from his hand and opened the first page hesitantly.

She glanced at it until her eyes caught the name of the protagonist.

At that moment, Yu Ye suddenly realized.

"Naruto...?"

"Just call me Naruto, doesn't it sound nice?"

"Yeah, but why?"

"Because, I hope he can be like the protagonist in it, a person who never gives up."

……

There is still one month left until Kushina's due date.

Thanks to the special nature of the Jinchuuriki, more and more Anbu are accompanying Kushina, not just Kakashi.

While everyone was being very cautious, this carefree red-haired woman even wanted to take Yuzu to go shopping together.

Unable to defeat his wife, Minato had no choice but to agree.

So before leaving, the Fourth Hokage told Yuzuha over and over again, "Don't let her run around, don't let her eat randomly, if she has a stomachache, call the ANBU..."

"Yes."

After a pause, he turned to look at his wife worriedly, and said seriously: "You too, don't run too fast on the road, and don't hit others..."

"You're so long-winded, Minato." Kushina interrupted him with a smile, "I'm an adult now."

"I'd be worried," he said.

"I know." She stared at him and responded seriously.

"Then also..."

Soon, the door closed, completely cutting off the chatter from the Yondaime Hokage.

The sun shines brightly, the grass leaves are green, and the sky in the distance is clear.

The energetic Kushina was shopping in the baby products store, and finally selected two pieces of clothing, looking at Yuzuha with a proud look on her face.

"How about my taste?" she asked, "But I don't know which one is better?"

Yuye compared it carefully and found that the two clothes were only different in color.

It’s simply hard to understand what a pregnant woman is thinking.

With a serious attitude, Yuzu thought for a moment and suggested sincerely: "Well, I think it's easy to use. The color doesn't matter."

"How is this possible?" Kushina glared at her, "What if he doesn't like it?"

"Is it a boy? If it's a boy, you shouldn't have to worry so much." Yuzuha said.

and many more……

Such a small child can't tell what color it is, right?

"What about this, do you think you should get ready now?"

Suddenly, Kushina picked up a stuffed toy and pulled her thoughts back.

She gestured in front of Yu Ye with a smile, and said with some worry: "Is it too big? But if it is too small, the child will eat it by mistake."

After thinking for a moment, the accompanying girl came to the final conclusion in a serious manner, "I think it's okay. Children shouldn't care so much."

Kushina: ...

A black line cut across the back of her head.

"...You, you'll know when you become a mother yourself," she puffed up her cheeks, "It's no use, just ask Liuhua to accompany me next time."

Pomelo leaf: I can’t ask for it.

But you're about to give birth soon, so Minato-sensei probably won't let you out!

"Hey, what kind of look is that? You must be secretly relieved in your heart, Yuzuha!"

Yuzu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and changed the topic, "Sister Kushina, do you usually go shopping like this?"

The other party tilted his head and replied: "Yes."

Yuzuha: Then Kakashi is too pitiful.

She raised her head silently and stared at a certain corner with sympathetic eyes.

Kakashi hiding in the dark:?

"Ah, by the way," Kushina suddenly suggested as if she thought of something, "When Naruto is born, you can be his teacher."

Yu Ye paused and pointed at herself with disbelief.

After getting a positive answer from the other party, she subconsciously declined, "Let Minato-sensei teach him. By the way, there's also Kakashi. He should be more suitable than me."

Kushina smiled slightly.

She clenched her fists, and the bones cracked, "You can teach me as long as you want. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

"……Yes."

……

There were still ten days until Kushina's due date.

Unlike other ordinary pregnant women, when a female Jinchuuriki gives birth, the seal on the tailed beast inside her body becomes extremely weak.

Therefore, at the last critical moment, the Sandaime Hokage and the Fourth Hokage began to prepare to dispatch elite ninjas and direct ANBU to prepare to transfer Kushina to a secret base outside the village for production.

——Kakashi’s long-term mission also ended.

He returned to the break room of Team Six.

As soon as he pushed the door open, his teammates jumped out from the corner with a roar, and came to him one after another holding unknown wild flowers picked by the roadside.

The flowers of all colors are delicate and beautiful, with the morning dew.

"Welcome back, Kakashi!"

"Congratulations on successfully completing the mission, senior."

"I'm finally back, Yuzuha can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Looking at the crowd of people crowded in front of him, Kakashi froze on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.

Yuzuha raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Look, Kakashi seems to be scared by you."

"Not really." The silver-haired boy replied.

The eyes on his black mask were curved in a rare way, as gentle as a crescent moon.

……

The day Uzumaki Kushina gave birth.

Based on the information Zetsu brought, Obito returned to Konoha.

It was night, and he was looking at the Huoying Rock in the distance, his black cloak rustling in the wind.

"Madara, have you really thought about it?" Zee leaned out half his body, and his emotionless laughter interrupted the memories of the past, and brought him back to the cold reality.

Obito came to his senses and instantly restrained his useless emotions.

He casually scanned the criss-crossing streets under his feet with his arrogant and indifferent eyes, and murmured: "Ah, my plan must not have been noticed yet..."

Black Zetsu answered him: "Probably not, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is not in the Leaf Village."

After a pause, Bai Jue continued: "But we know where it is, Madara, let me take you there."

The late night wind is still gentle, and the shadows of the trees are dancing under the moonlight.

He watched with cold eyes as Minato was immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the first time and began to implement his plan step by step.

——Using the newborn Naruto to force Minato to leave, he successfully captured Kushina.

At this moment, the Jinchuuriki, who had just given birth, was extremely weak, the seal of the Nine-Tails in his body was the loosest, and Minato was no longer protected around him.

Obito understood that at this time, it was the best time to implement his plan.

Feeling the other party's malice, Kushina raised her head with difficulty and tried her best to question.

"Pull the Kyuubi out of you to destroy Konoha."

If only the teacher known as the "Golden Flash" could be faster.

——He might not "die" at Kannabi Bridge.

Hearing such an answer, Kushina instantly showed an expression of disbelief.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity...?"

If only Minato-sensei hadn't been late.

——She might not have to die under the Chidori and the Blade.

Unwilling to sit back and die, she propped up her weak body and tried to use her remaining strength to resist Obito's attack, but it backfired.

"Stop struggling." He looked at her condescendingly, his eyes cruel and calm.

Ah, what if...

It's a pity that there is never if in the world.

The reality he saw——

It was she who killed herself in despair.

It was she who was being hunted by Konoha's top brass.

It was her crying and apologizing in the darkness, and her tears wetted his clothes.

The smile dissipated and gathered again like a stinging firefly, bringing endless hatred and anger. In the bottom of my heart, it was like a chaotic wildfire that burned away the little reason I had.

He already knew that he didn't care about anything anymore.

This world, full of hypocrisy, despair, and pain, should be destroyed.

However, the extreme hatred and anger deep in his heart were eventually covered up by calmness.

He looked at his master's wife, who had no power to fight back, and murmured coldly: "You were once a Jinchuuriki, this time you will die at the hands of the Nine-Tails..."

So, I wonder if this time, I will face the person I love...

Can you still arrive in time? Will you miss it so many times like before?

Let me, teacher, experience the despair brought about by this broken world.

Thinking of this, the corners of Obito's mouth hidden under the mask curved slightly, as if he was admiring the most beautiful thing in the world.

The dark pupils were filled with blood in an instant, and the patterns of the wind shuriken turned crazily.

"The art of psychic!"
