On October 10th, in the afternoon, Minato personally took Kushina to meet Biwako Sarutobi.
On the way, when Kushina was chatting with Minato, she suddenly saw a familiar-looking young woman who was walking with a child. Upon closer look, she noticed that it was her best friend, Uchiha Mikoto.
"Mikoto." Kushina happily waved to her.
She was very happy to be able to see her best friend again. After being pregnant for five months, she rarely went out, so she hadn't seen Uchiha Mikoto for a while.
She remembered that Uchiha Mikoto's belly was pretty big the last time she met her.
"Kushina, Fourth, long time no see." Uchiha Mikoto also smiled and replied.
Minato also smiled and nodded to Uchiha Mikoto.
"Is that your newborn child? Is he a girl? He's so cute." Kushina leaned forward and looked down curiously at little Sasuke.
"No, he's a boy." Mikoto smiled.
"What's his name?" Kushina asked curiously.
"His name is Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha." Mikoto said with a smile.
"Sasuke, isn't that the name the Third Hokage's father?" Kushina teased little Sasuke with her finger while asking.
"Well, Fugaku hopes that he will grow up to be as strong and excellent Shinobi as Sasuke Sarutobi," Mikoto explained with a smile.
"How wonderful." Kushina nodded in praise, then touched her bulging belly and said,
"I have a feeling that little Sasuke will definitely be good friends with my child in the future. Maybe he can become this child's boyfriend in the future."
Mikoto smiled and asked, "Kushina, are you having a girl, then?"
Kushina shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but I think it should be a girl. My prediction is usually quite accurate."
"Is that so? Then I'll look forward to the time when your child and little Sasuke can play together." Mikoto also found it quite interesting and smiled.
"Sure." Kushina smiled and nodded.
Kushina deliberately closed the distance and whispered in her ear, "Is childbirth painful?"
Mikoto was amused by Kushina's expression and said, "It turns out that you can be afraid, too."
Just as Kushina was about to explain, Minato said with a gentle smile, "Kushina, Biwako-sama and the others are waiting for us. We can't let them wait too long."
Only then did Kushina remember that they were waiting for her at the place where she would give birth. She had no choice but to wave her hand and say goodbye to Mikoto, "Mikoto, I have something to do today. See you another day."
"Well, see you another day." Mikoto held Sasuke with one hand and said goodbye to Kushina with a smile.
Kushina and Minato walked to the place they agreed with Biwako and soon saw Biwako and a man dressed in Anbu attire standing there.
"Kushina, you are late." Biwako frowned and said.
"Haha, I'm sorry, Biwako-sama. I met a friend on the way, so we chatted for a bit." Kushina stroked her head and laughed.
"Your childbirth is a big matter for the entire village. Why are you still chatting with the friends you met on the road at a time like this?" When Biwako heard this reason, she was baffled.
"Minato, you're at fault, too. Didn't you remind her?"
"I'm sorry for making you wait, Biwako-sama. Let's leave as soon as possible." Minato revealed an apologetic smile.
Biwako nodded and then walked out of the village with the two towards the cave that had been set up in advance.
The cave was located on the back slope of a very steep mountain. There was no way to climb up, and there was a river below.
Normally, there was no way to enter the cave, but this was not a problem for Shinobi at all. After confirming the location, Anbu and the others quickly built a road with wood.
When Kushina and Minato arrived at the cave, the sixteen Anbu elites were already in position, guarding the entrance of the cave.
Although Kakashi was wearing Anbu's uniform and a mask, Minato still noticed Kakashi in the crowd.
Before entering the cave, Minato patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said to all of Anbu: "Everyone, I'm counting on you."
All the Anbu bowed to Minato, saying that they would guard the entrance with their lives and would never let anyone in.
After entering, he saw Tsunade, who was already sitting inside.
"Tsunade-sama!" Minato greeted Tsunade in surprise. Nagasawa didn't tell him that Tsunade would come.
"A lot of things happened, and the Hokage Assistant said that some people might use this chance to cause trouble, so I came," Tsunade explained.
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama." Minato smiled gently, and at the same time, he said in his heart, 'Nagasawa, I'm so lucky you're around.'
...
In the Hokage's building, Nagasawa sat on the chair in the office, observing the entire Konoha through the huge windows of the office.
Minato went to protect Kushina, and the office was naturally empty. As the Hokage Assistant, it was very reasonable for him to sit in the seat of the Hokage.
Of course, Nagasawa did not come to the office for such a boring reason. Instead, the position of the Hokage's office was very good. From the Hokage's building, he could see everything in Konoha at a glance.
Although it would be safer for Nagasawa to protect Kushina as well, Nagasawa still chose to stay in Konoha and only sent a Shadow Clone there.
Besides, he had already left behind Flying Thunder God Kunai on Minato's side. If there was anything, he could teleport there at any time. He also didn't want Obito to send additional forces to destroy Konoha because of his arrival.
If they all went to protect Kushina, and Obito used this chance to destroy Konoha, there would be a significant loss. Maybe the amount of prosperity he had worked on so much would would be lost, and a large number of points would be deducted.
Nagasawa stood up in front of the big window, carefully looking at the road.
No wonder Danzo wanted to be a Hokage so much. Standing in the Hokage's office and looking down on everything feels really good. Nagasawa thought in his heart.
Rumble!!!!
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded, and a Wind Blade came in, cutting off everything in its path.
Nagasawa narrowed his eyes. That was the direction of Konoha's prison.
The prison and Wind Release. Nagasawa could only think of a person based on these two, the former elder of Konoha, Danzo.
Nagasawa used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the nearest Kunai to prison and then rushed towards the prison.
In fact, he was still very confused. Although Danzo was cunning and not a good person, he should not betray Konoha.
Danzo did a lot of things that affected the strength of Konoha, but Danzo himself thought that he was protecting Konoha.
Therefore, Nagasawa was not sure whether the person who released the wind blade was Danzo.
