I could only recognize a few keywords here and there.
What Japanese foot, what demon.
"pregnant?"
After thinking for a moment, Uzuki Yugao took out a small notebook and wrote this down.
"On [date], Hyuga Hinazuki, wife of Hyuga Hiashi, experienced symptoms resembling morning sickness and uttered words such as 'Hiashi' and 'devil.' It is possible that the Hyuga clan performed some kind of religious ritual to pray for a child."
After finishing writing, Uzuki Yugao carefully put the notebook away.
In the ninja world, there are many different religious beliefs.
It's normal for the Hyuga clan to hold such a ceremony since they have never been able to produce an heir.
…………
Several days passed.
The third training ground.
When Qing Si arrived, a red-haired woman had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Kiyoshi, you're too slow!"
Kushina turned around, her bright red hair fluttering in the wind.
Those vibrant and innocent faces shone even brighter under the sun.
"Kushina, Kiyoshi arrived ten minutes early. We're too early."
Minato Namikaze scratched the back of his head and said.
Perhaps because Kushina hadn't left the village for so long, she was overjoyed to finally be able to leave the barrier left by the Uzumaki clan.
I arrived here early in the morning to wait.
"I think the timing should be just right."
Kiyoshi glanced at Kushina a few times.
She was wearing a close-fitting ninja combat outfit and a green ninja vest.
Unlike Minato Namikaze's traditional combat uniform, Kushina's outfit leans towards summer attire.
The chainmail she wore underneath was short, revealing her two fair and smooth arms.
Her red hair was tied back, leaving only long red stubble on her temples, which accentuated her beautiful face.
Kiyoshi... sensed the ripples of his pupil power.
This is his right eye.
He had just activated the kaleidoscope in his left eye and gained two new eye techniques.
Now there are signs of a breakthrough in the right eye.
Who should be chosen to break through the bottleneck?
Many people flashed through Kiyoshi's mind.
Not urgent……
He consoled himself in this way.
The right eye he opened was essentially the same as an ordinary Uchiha awakening a complete pair of "Mangekyou Sharingan".
A typical Uchiha can only house one eye at most, and at most one dojutsu (eye technique).
Even in cases like Obito's, there is only one eye technique: "Kamui".
The only difference is that the left and right eyes focus on "Kamui" in different directions.
Kakashi's new left eye is more offensively oriented, allowing him to transfer matter over long distances.
Obito's right eye is more defensive, capable of transferring himself or nearby matter into the "Kamui Dimension".
Kiyoshi acquired two eye techniques at once!
Once the kaleidoscope is activated in the right eye, the eye techniques will reach four terrifying levels!
It's important to know that the "Rinnegan" can only awaken one unique eye technique.
In other words, Madara and Sasuke can awaken their eye techniques a maximum of three times.
All the others are common basic abilities; the only difference lies in how well the holder develops those abilities.
"Kiyoshi, your task is to take Kushina outside the village."
Tsunade was the last to arrive.
She noticed that Qing Si's gaze was still somewhat evasive.
"no problem."
Qingsi nodded.
"By the way, why don't we have Lord Minato do these things?"
Kiyoshi looked toward Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze possesses the "Flying Thunder God Technique," "Rasengan," "Sage Mode," and many sealing techniques he obtained from Kushina.
It is also very effective against tailed beasts.
"Watergate is also responsible for the front lines."
"I see, I understand."
Kiyoshi said.
It's just a matter of political stance.
It's a very simple reason: the higher-ups want Minato Namikaze to achieve more!
As an Uchiha, capturing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki alive is a great achievement.
If there were any more, Kiyoshi would be too dazzling.
However, it was impossible to hide Qing Si's achievements; these were major events, and countless eyes were watching.
Therefore, the only option is to cool it down by cold treatment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has high hopes for Minato Namikaze, so naturally he wants Minato to gain more prestige on the battlefield and consistently trend on social media in Konoha.
That way, more people will support Minato Namikaze.
"I'm sorry, Kiyoshi, I really can't get away."
Namikaze Minato said apologetically.
The Third Hokage valued him highly and gave him a very important position.
I cannot let down the Third Hokage.
He also couldn't allow Konoha, which was facing a life-or-death crisis, to be in danger of extinction; he had to win battle after battle.
To protect the village he grew up in.
"Lord Minato, what is our relationship? How could I refuse such a small matter?"
Kiyoshi waved his hand.
I will take care of your wife and children myself, so you don't need to worry.
What you love is your life.
You fight for the Hokage title, while he fights for the Hokage's wife.
Everyone is trying to live, aren't they?
The only difference is the goal.
"Thank you so much, Kiyoshi."
Minato Namikaze was moved.
He often heard news of Kiyoshi's meritorious service at the front lines, and coupled with Kiyoshi's outstanding performance during their previous missions together at Kannabi Bridge, Minato Namikaze had a very good impression of Kiyoshi.
Minato would feel much more at ease if Kiyoshi were to take care of Kushina.
"Hmm... but I hope Kushina can teach me some sealing techniques. They don't have to be too difficult, just enough to stop the Nine-Tails in a critical moment."
At this point, Kiyoshi made his own demands.
Kushina, he wants her.
He also wants the sealing technique.
"Too."
Namikaze Minato nodded.
If the Nine-Tails is bound by a sealing technique, the battle will be much easier.
However, he has no right to teach sealing techniques.
The specifics depend on Kushina's decision.
"Hmm... If Kiyoshi wants to learn, I can teach him, but there are many things I can't teach him."
Seemingly fearing that Kiyoshi might misunderstand, Kushina clarified one point beforehand.
"It's natural."
Kiyoshi expressed understanding.
Even a genius like Minato Namikaze could only learn sealing techniques such as the "Four Symbols Seal".
The "Diamond Lockdown" technique, which can create barriers and seal tailed beasts, can only be used by those with Uzumaki clan blood.
Half an hour later, the group walked into the forest outside the village.
"Kushina, how are you?"
Tsunade asked with concern.
"I was a little agitated at first, but I calmed down quickly."
Kushina told the truth, her tone tinged with excitement.
In this way, she finally had the opportunity to go out and see the prosperity of the outside world!
"That way I can rest assured."
Namikaze Minato smiled.
Then he said:
"Kushina, I must go to the front lines now."
Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina.
He was able to return to the village from the front lines so quickly by taking military rations while using the "Flying Thunder God Technique".
Now that my chakra has been almost fully restored, it's time to get going.
"Then come back quickly, Minato."
Kushina said with some reluctance.
Minato Namikaze nodded heavily and disappeared from the spot.
If possible, he didn't want to be separated from Kushina.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
If the village is gone, someone like Kushina will certainly not have a good end, and it wouldn't be surprising if those greedy outsiders did something.
"Let's go back, Kushina."
Qingsi smiled.
He has already offered a salute to Hinata's birth.
He couldn't be impolite to the next generation of Naruto, Sasuke, and so on.
For each of them, Qing Si would personally give a gift.
