So, in the case that all parties were preparing their own hole cards and back hands, silently waiting for the time to come, time unhurriedly walked away more than a dozen sunrises and sunsets.

Then, on a sunny noon, Uzumaki Kushina, who was preparing lunch, suddenly covered her high bulging abdomen, and her motherly face, which was gradually revealing a different motherhood because she was pregnant with a new life, appeared with a mixture of pain and surprise.

A new life is about to come into this world.

Several of the shadows who took over Kakashi Hachiki's work to take care of Kushina immediately discovered the situation, and they quickly responded, and the female shadows who were selected specifically for this moment and mastered a certain amount of medical ninjutsu appeared and stabilized the situation of Uzumaki Kushina in time, while the other shadows went in different directions and brought the news that the wives of the four generations of Hokage were about to give birth to all the Konoha high-level officials who were concerned about this incident.

In order to ensure the safety of the human pillar force in the production process, Sarufei Hizashi specially asked his wife to serve as the person who delivered the baby for Uzumaki Kushina, and at the same time, the last few masters received by his subordinates from the "root" department were also included in the security team this time, and they made enough protective preparations in his opinion.

And when Bo Feng Mizumon received the news in the Hokage's office, he first shared his joy with Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaichi and others, who were joking and congratulating him, with a smile, and then temporarily handed over his work to Nara Shikaku as an agent, and couldn't wait to rush to the place where Bo Feng's house was.

"Although it's already quite mature and reliable Hokage, it's really ...... that Mizumon is still a young man, so he left his job and ran back in such a hurry Do I look like such a good tool? ”

Looking at the figure of Bo Feng Shuimon who disappeared in the blink of an eye, Nara Shikahisa, who was temporarily entrusted with a great responsibility, shook his head helplessly at first, and then lit a cigarette while complaining to Kaichi Yamanaka, who happened to be in the Hokage's office to witness the scene.

"There's no way, Kushina's identity is a little special, and I can't afford to let Mizuto not care," Yamanaka Kaichi didn't think there was anything wrong with Mizuto doing this, "Although the power of the Uzumaki clan is very advantageous when controlling the tailed beast, but the weakening of chakra during childbirth is still a very dangerous thing...... If you accidentally let the Nine-Tails go berserk, it may directly cause even more terrible consequences than the previous Third Ninja World War. ”

"After all, this is in Konoha Honmura......" Nara Lujiu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at the sunny sky above his head uneasily, but he couldn't settle down in the blue and clear sky, "Alas, I don't know if it's my delusion, obviously even the people of the Uchiha clan haven't been making much noise outside lately, but I always have a strange premonition that Konoha is being threatened by an invisible undercurrent." ”

"Probably the aftermath of the attack on Konoha that was launched by the 'Root' organization before," Yamanaka Haiichi also lit a cigarette and sighed, "Obviously, the large-scale war is over, but the scars caused by the war and the seeds of hatred planted by the war are slowly germinating...... It's not easy to create an era of peace for the Ino people to grow up with peace of mind. ”

"Who's to say it's not," Nara Shikahisa took a long puff of cigarette approvingly, then pressed out about a third of the cigarette butts into the ashtray on the table, and said with some energy:

"However, overcoming difficulties in places that children cannot see is something that adults should do...... Haiyi, would you mind accompanying me to do a little useless work, and take the possibility of a possible Nine-Tails rampage as a scenario, and temporarily formulate a plan to mobilize most of the Shinobi who stayed in the village when something happens? ”

“…… It's so easy to say, you bastard. Yamanaka Haiichi was stunned for a moment, and then angrily gave Nara Shikahisa a punch, "Do you know how much intelligence it takes to mobilize and how much energy it consumes?" And there are water gates, three generations of adults, and Jiraiya adults are in the village, and there is a great probability that this plan is doing useless work, don't you think it's a bit too much when you say this request? ”

"And what is your answer?"

“…… Pigs, deer and butterflies have always advanced and retreated together, so I'll accompany you to be a fool. ”

……

On the other hand, Jilai also received information transferred by the dark department directly under Bo Feng Shuimen.

"It's finally time."

The white-haired middle-aged hero put away the playful and uninhibited expression on his face, exhaled a long breath, and then turned around and disappeared into his room, and appeared in a business izakaya for several consecutive moments.

“…… Drinking like this in broad daylight, you shouldn't have lost all the deposit I gave you, right? ”

"Isn't it just a gratuity for one or two S-class tasks, and it's just a drop in the bucket for you, right?"

Tsunade, who was slightly drunk, raised his head from the wine table, stretched his waist very unvividly, accompanied by a sound of the cloth tightening to the point of almost tearing, Jiraiya's gaze was uncontrollably dragged by the pair of elastic spheres with huge gravitational pull, and after staring at the breathtaking miracle for a moment, he shook his head reluctantly, woke himself up from his unserious thoughts, and began to talk about the business of his trip:

"Tsunade, as we said before, if nothing happens today, then I will pass on the gratuity in addition to the deposit to you, but if something unfortunately happens as I guessed, I hope you can channel as many slug clones as possible, and then let them protect the injured villagers...... But in this case, it shouldn't be said to trigger your phobia, right? ”

"You really trust me, a useless old woman, Zilaiye."

Tsunade reluctantly smiled at his old friend, "I can also share some of the vision of the living slug-sama, right?" Maybe because you see the injured person covered in blood, you will be so scared that you can't even maintain the chakra output? Even so, are you going to bet your trust on me? ”

"Because the friend I can trust and can help, you're the only one left with Tsunade." Jiraiya scratched his head, half embarrassed and half embarrassed, and said:

"Nagato's kid isn't Konoha after all, and there's something to do with the transformation of the 'Akatsuki' organization; Orochimaru has left the village and disappeared for a long time, but even if they meet, it is estimated that there is no way for him to help; other people I know who have this strength are either hostile to Konoha in terms of position, or Kaguya Ren is the kind of guy who doesn't know what he will take the opportunity to do......"

"Then didn't I become the last person you thought of for help after so many people were chosen?" Tsunade shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Jiraiya with an elusive expression, "Do you know what kind of results your stupid words will bring, Jiraiya?" ”

"If beating me up cheers you up a little, uh, come on, I'm ready."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then puffed up his chest, and put on a fearless look, but said in a somewhat flattering tone:

"However, if you run out of breath out of Tsunade, can you treat me more or less? In that case, if something really goes wrong, I'll be able to participate as a combat force. ”

Tsunade took a deep breath, so angry that the chest of the loose clothes made a tearing sound, and then she raised her fist and smashed it into Jiraiya's sad face with a fierce wind, and yelled at him in some anger:

"You idiot!"

"Whoa—"

Jiraiya spun upside down, slammed into the wall of the izakaya with a "Peng", and then slowly slid down the wall with only a tiny crack appeared, like a puddle of mud, and fell to the ground and did not get up.

"Whew, whew, whew......"

Tsunade who was very careful to control his strength, so that he didn't collapse the entire izakaya, sat back in his place in a puff, looked at Jiraiya who looked like mud on the floor, and whispered to himself with a slightly frustrated expression:

"To you, Konoha is really so important that you don't even want to say more to me with a nice coaxing word?"

"Because...... Konoha ...... It is...... Our...... Hometown...... and memories. ”

The white mud on the ground struggled to bubble out of the lake, and muttered staccato words:

"Protect the ...... Konoha's words...... In spite of...... Tsunade, when are you ...... When I'm tired, there's always a ...... The hometown that can come back is in ...... Isn't it? ”

"But I'm standing in front of you right now."

Tsunade changed the posture of supporting his cheeks, condescendingly, staring at the white mud on the ground with a pair of red eyes that he hadn't seen on her for a long time, and asked in a slightly trembling voice:

"Even if it's time to speak up, do you want to continue to run away like this, Jiraiya!?"

“…… I dare not say. ”

"Did the atmosphere just now make you escape!?"

"yes, I'm sorry......"

Jiraiya, who was slumped on the ground, shrank his head, looking more like a puddle of mud that he couldn't hold up.

"You listen to me, Jiraiya," Tsunade took a big breath and said word by word to the guy on the ground who was so angry that she couldn't help but itch her teeth, "I'll give you one more chance, one more time to reorganize the language, and give me a good chance to explain the reason why you asked me to come back for help, and give me a chance to explain it without the slightest falsehood...... Speak it out loud and clear to me until I hear it, and I understand it! ”

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, talk about him left and right...... I'm going to settle in the Land of Water, and I'll never have anything to do with you Konoha idiots for the rest of my life! ”
