Chapter 716: Obito's Midwife
Chapter 716: Obito's Midwife
A month after Sasuke's birth, the Uchiha family welcomed a new addition, and their prosperity brought great joy to Uchiha Fuyuki. He decided to celebrate Sasuke's full moon with a banquet.
Fuyuki Kamizono, Yu Sheng Mu Yue, and Monkey Dachi were all invited and attended the celebration.
"He looks like a healthy child," Fuyuki Kamizono said with a smile, gazing at the baby in Uchiha Meiqin's arms.
"Yes, the birth went smoothly," Uchiha Meiqin replied with a smile.
"He might become a renowned ninja in the Ninja World in the future," Monkey Dachi said, stroking his long beard and chuckling.
"I will supervise his training personally and ensure he lives up to the name Sasuke," Uchiha Fuyuki said earnestly.
The name Sasuke was not chosen lightly; it was derived from Monkey Dachi's father, Uchiha Sasuke, a legendary ninja renowned during the Warring States Period.
"This child's ninja potential is exceptional," Yu Sheng Mu Yue said with a faint smile.
This was a conclusion Yu Sheng Mu Yue could make without using his Appraisal Technique, as he remembered Sasuke's abilities from the original story.
As he spoke, Yu Sheng Mu Yue cast an Appraisal Technique on Sasuke.
[Name: Uchiha Sasuke]
[Potential: SS (Rikudo Bloodline + Natural Talent)]
This value was within Yu Sheng Mu Yue's expectations.
Although Sasuke's early performance in the story was not as impressive as that of Uchiha Itachi at the same age, as the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, Sasuke's potential according to the rigid calculations of the Appraisal Technique was undoubtedly high.
After all, as the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, Sasuke had the potential to awaken the Rinne Eye.
Although the process would be lengthy without the help of the Six Paths Sage, there was still a chance for it to happen.
Uchiha Fuyuki's face lit up with joy.
For the others, this was just a moment of amusement, but for Yu Sheng Mu Yue, it was different.
Besides being a powerful ninja, Yu Sheng Mu Yue was also a legendary teacher, and none of his disciples were ordinary.
It was widely believed that Yu Sheng Mu Yue possessed exceptional insight, allowing him to identify his disciples' strengths and teach them accordingly.
"Brother Shizuru, who is that?" Uchiha Itachi curiously asked Shizuru, who was standing beside him.
In his memory, his father was a rather stern man.
Itachi was intrigued by his father's sudden happiness after hearing a few words from the blond man.
"Actually, you know him. He's my teacher, Yu Sheng Mu Yue, a great ninja destined to be remembered in history," Shizuru replied.
Shizuru had shared many stories about Yu Sheng Mu Yue with Uchiha Itachi to instill good values in him.
"So, he's the legendary Yu Sheng Mu Yue..." Uchiha Itachi subconsciously stood up and walked over.
He had always wanted to meet the teacher Shizuru often spoke highly of.
"Itachi, go and greet the elders. This is the Third Hokage, Enma, and the Fourth Hokage..." Uchiha Fuyuki said as Uchiha Itachi approached.
Although he was more interested in Yu Sheng Mu Yue, Uchiha Itachi politely greeted each elder as Uchiha Fuyuki instructed.
Yu Sheng Mu Yue also used his Appraisal Technique on Uchiha Itachi.
[Name: Uchiha Itachi]
[Potential: SS- (Rikudo Bloodline + Natural Talent)]
This was close to Yu Sheng Mu Yue's expectations, placing Itachi at the same level as Shizuru.
"How old is this child? He should be of school age, right?" Yu Sheng Mu Yue asked, turning to Uchiha Fuyuki.
"Yes, Itachi is five years old this year, and I plan to enroll him next year," Uchiha Fuyuki nodded in response.
"Fourth Hokage, what do you think of Itachi?" Uchiha Fuyuki couldn't help but ask.
Since Yu Sheng Mu Yue had already spoken about Sasuke's talent, Uchiha Fuyuki thought this was a good opportunity.
He wouldn't usually ask such a question to Yu Sheng Mu Yue.
"He's very good," Yu Sheng Mu Yue replied after some thought.
Uchiha Fuyuki's smile became even more radiant, surprising even Itachi, who had never seen his father so happy since he could remember.
"Thank you so much, Fourth Hokage," Uchiha Fuyuki said, expressing his gratitude while trying to suppress the smile that had formed on his face. No matter how hard he tried to manage his expression, his joy was evident.
"Is the golden age of the Uchiha clan finally here? First, we had Obito and Shizuru, and now we have Itachi and Sasuke," Uchiha Fuyuki thought to himself, filled with excitement.
Even if Itachi and Sasuke were slightly inferior to Obito and Shizuru, they were still rare talents. After all, Obito and Shizuru had already gained a notable reputation in the Ninja World by the age of thirteen.
Action: Four geniuses appeared in the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan need not worry about their development.
"Fourth Hokage, what do you think I should do at my age to protect the village and those I care about?" Uchiha Itachi suddenly asked Yu Sheng Mu Yue.
Fuyuki Kamizono and Enma both turned to look at Mu Yue, as this was an interesting question.
"Moderate cultivation, reading useful books in your free time, and remember to balance work and rest. Enjoy leisure when it's time to play, and engage in more social interactions. Konoha doesn't need a five-year-old to protect it."
Mu Yue squatted down, maintaining eye contact with Itachi, and answered with a gentle smile.
"Where the Leaves of the Leaf Village Dance, Fire Thrives Eternally. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new sprouts to grow. The reason Konoha exists is to ensure that you, the new generation, can grow up safely and happily."
Looking at Mu Yue, who was exuding a warm aura, Itachi showed a thoughtful expression.
Clap, clap.
Fuyuki lightly clapped his hands twice. There could be no more perfect answer than this. The reason why Konoha ninjas fearlessly rush to the battlefield to protect the village, even at the cost of their lives, is to provide better conditions for future generations.
Enma also clapped in agreement. Senju Tsunade had founded Konoha with this very idea, and Mu Yue's words were the perfect embodiment of the Will of Fire.
The applause seemed contagious, and soon everyone at the banquet was clapping, even those who hadn't heard what Mu Yue was saying.
Mu Yue patted Itachi's head, stood up, and pressed his palms together to signal for quiet.
This was Sasuke's full moon banquet, and he hadn't come to steal the spotlight. He had simply answered Itachi's question.
Mu Yue had no bias towards the Will of Fire.
In Mu Yue's opinion, the Will of Fire was a selfless and sacrificial spirit, essentially a force for good.
However, in reality, Konoha hadn't been able to fully realize this, making it somewhat embarrassing.
...
October 10th.
Today was a very special day for Fuyuki Kamizono.
According to the report from the Leaf Village Hospital, Kurenai would give birth that evening.
Due to Kurenai's special status, the hospital had assembled an elite team of medical ninjas for a joint diagnosis, ensuring there would be no problems.
Even though he trusted the hospital, Fuyuki couldn't help but worry about Kurenai at home while handling official duties, wondering if she might go into labor early.
Even with his shadow clone reporting back every hour, he still felt anxious.
"Mu Yue, I'll leave the barrier to you. I'm going to check on Kurenai." After work, Fuyuki couldn't contain his worry and rushed to the Hokage's office.
After a high-level meeting, it was decided that Kurenai's delivery would take place outside the village.
After all, if Kurenai's Nine-Tailed Chakra went out of control, it would be easier to handle in the uninhabited outskirts.
Of course, even though the delivery was outside the village, it wouldn't be any easier for Konoha. They needed to do a lot of things.
For example, constructing a barrier to suppress the Nine-Tailed Chakra and setting up various traps.
"Go and accompany Kurenai. Leave the rest to me." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Even someone as calm and rational as Fuyuki couldn't remain composed when it came to such a significant event as childbirth.
"Yeah, with you here, Mu Yue, there won't be any accidents."
Fuyuki thanked Mu Yue and hurried back home.
"Kurenai, how are you feeling?" Fuyuki's first question upon returning home was about Kurenai's well-being.
"I'm fine. I don't feel any discomfort," Kurenai said, scratching her head.
Then, with a carefree gesture, Kurenai patted Fuyuki's shoulder.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. It's just childbirth. Meiqin has given birth to two children, and she's fine."
Seeing Kurenai's optimistic attitude, Fuyuki felt a little more at ease.
Then, Monkey Leap Biyakko arrived at Fuyuki's home.
"Kurenai, it's about time. Let's go." Monkey Leap said.
To ensure Kurenai's safe delivery, Konoha had formed a special delivery team, and Monkey Leap was its captain.
"Fuyuki, you don't need to come with us. Stay with the protection squad; it'll be less conspicuous."
Fuyuki nodded.
Then, the three of them set off. Monkey Leap and Kurenai walked openly, while Fuyuki followed discreetly with the protection squad.
On the way, Kurenai met Meiqin, who was taking Sasuke for a walk.
Kurama eagerly walked forward and poked Sasuke's chubby face with her finger.
"So cute, is this Sasuke?" Kurama asked curiously.
She had heard from Fuyuki Kamizono about what happened during Sasuke's full moon feast, so she knew his name.
"Yes, Uchiha Sasuke," Uchiha Meiqin replied with a smile.
"Kurama, you're about to give birth too, right? You can think of a name now," Uchiha Meiqin said, glancing at Kurama's pregnant belly.
With her experience, Kurama was likely to give birth soon.
"Hehe, I've already chosen a name, it's Naruto," Kurama said, rubbing her belly and laughing.
"Fuyuki picked it, it's a good name, right?"
"Yes, it's a nice name," Uchiha Meiqin praised with a smile.
Hearing Uchiha Meiqin's words, Kurama smiled even more happily and reached out to poke Sasuke's chubby cheek again.
"Little Sasuke, Naruto will be your classmate in the future, so you have to get along with him well."
Sasuke scowled, wanting to sleep.
Kurama looked around and, seeing no sign of Fuyuki, leaned closer to Uchiha Meiqin.
"Speaking of which, that must have hurt, right?" Kurama asked with concern.
She had acted so boldly in front of Fuyuki because she didn't want him to worry, but in reality, Kurama wasn't indifferent about it.
"Kurama, you're afraid of something, what a surprise," Uchiha Meiqin chuckled lightly.
It was rare to see Kurama like this.
"After all, it's..."
Kurama was about to explain when Monkey Leap Biyakko interrupted her.
"Don't say it, let's go." Monkey Leap Biyakko pulled Kurama away.
A matter as important as childbirth couldn't be delayed.
So, under Fuyuki Kamizono's protection, Kurama successfully and safely arrived at the barrier.
"Yu Sheng Mu Yue, after I give birth, can you make me a midnight snack? I can't eat this or that during pregnancy," Kurama said shyly.
Before Yu Sheng Mu Yue could respond, Monkey Leap Biyakko, who was by Kurama's side, spoke sternly, "You can't eat whatever you want after giving birth either. You need to rest and recuperate for a while."
Kurama listened with a headache.
"I'll make you some nourishing and light dishes," Yu Sheng Mu Yue replied.
He had a good memory, remembering both the knowledge he had learned in his previous life and the help Kurama's family had given him.
"That's fine too, thank you, Yu Sheng Mu Yue," Kurama said, bowing her hands together in gratitude.
Even if it was light food, it was still Yu Sheng Mu Yue's cooking, far superior to other foods.
When it was time for the actual delivery, Yu Sheng Mu Yue stepped out of the delivery room, leaving only Fuyuki Kamizono and the ninja midwives inside.
It was best to avoid witnessing the childbirth; after all, they could protect Kurama just as well from outside.
"So Kurama-sensei is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast, no wonder she's so strong," Kaito said in awe from outside.
Until the end of the war, Kurama hadn't fully mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, so her Jinchuriki identity remained a secret.
There were few people Kaito feared, and Kurama was one of them. An angry Kurama was too terrifying.
"You're probably the only one who can truly understand this. Also, less chatting and more vigilance," Kakashi commanded.
All of Yu Sheng Mu Yue's disciples, except Asuma Sarutobi, were mobilized. Strong ninjas like Kakashi took on the role of bodyguards, while others like Haruno Rin assisted in the delivery room.
Kakashi was the captain of the bodyguard squad, and Kaito was only the deputy, so Kakashi had the authority to command him.
"I know I need to be vigilant without you telling me," Kaito retorted, carefully examining his surroundings.
They took this mission very seriously.
According to the information from Naruto Uzumaki and Asuma Sarutobi, Kurama's delivery had encountered a major accident.
It was this accident that led to the deaths of both Fuyuki Kamizono and Kurama, leaving Naruto an orphan.
Fuyuki Kamizono was Kaito's favorite teacher, and he also had a good impression of Kurama. Naruto was a great older brother who taught him ninjutsu.
Kaito was determined to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself. He wanted to stop Naruto from becoming an orphan and give him a childhood with both parents.
A few hours later, a baby's cry echoed through the delivery room.
The entire process went smoothly without any accidents, and there were no enemy attacks. The Nine-Tails inside the delivery room didn't go berserk either, leaving Kaito surprised by the calmness of the situation.
"Is it over just like that?" Kaito wondered to himself.
He wasn't exactly hoping for Kurama's well-being, but he hadn't expected reality to deviate so much from the future intelligence.
"It's good that I can see Naruto-niichan again soon, oh no, I mean Naruto-kun," Kaito thought.
