Since then, Yuta has stayed home with his wife and children most of the time. He went to the front line every few days to leave a new shadow clone. He also trained Hizashi and checked his progress.
Yuta had trouble naming his four children. He could not think of any names. He gave up trying to name them.
Because Yuta came back, the family felt happy again. Yuta kept using the light of the beads to change his children.
By the end of the year, Ganta and the other three were as strong as chūnin. Nonō was almost as strong as a chūnin.
Minato started training late. He just became a genin. Nawaki became a chūnin after Ganta and the other three.
Kushina also trained with Yuta. She learned from Ganta that they trained with Yuta. She followed Nawaki to train too.
At first, Yuta did not see anything wrong. But after some time, Yuta saw that Kushina looked at his oldest son in a strange way.
"No, even though children in the ninja world grow up faster, you are still young. Why do you think so much?"
Yuta felt worried. If Kushina married his son, would the child of destiny be his grandson or Minato's child? Just thinking about it made him feel stressed.
But Yuta understood the ninja world. He thought his grandson had a better chance. Ashura's chakra only moves among the descendants of the Ōtsutsuki clan in the future.
Minato was just a normal person. Even though he was very talented, he could not create a son with Ashura's chakra.
"So I will still have to work hard!" Yuta felt down. He just wanted to help his family grow quietly and protect them.
He wanted to retire and live a comfortable life after the child of destiny was born. But now, his grandson might cause trouble in the future.
"No! In the original story, Ashura's chakra went into Kushina's son because Madara died. The direct line of Ashura, the Senju clan, only had Tsunade left. She was an older, unmarried woman. So as long as the Senju clan is not destroyed, Ashura's chakra will not go into my grandson in the future."
Before his grandson was even born, Yuta started to worry about him.
Then he looked at the nearby Nawaki with bad thoughts.
He wished he had not looked. When Yuta saw Nawaki, he almost threw up blood.
When Yuta looked at Nawaki, Nawaki was looking at his oldest daughter, Nonō.
"Your mother cannot avoid it, can she?" Yuta wanted to go over and hurt Nawaki. Nawaki could have liked anyone else. But he liked Yuta's daughter.
Now, the child of destiny would be either his grandson or his grandson-in-law. There was no way to avoid it, right?
"Oh! Why is it so hard to relax?" Yuta sighed in his heart.
"Should I try to marry Tsunade off?" Yuta thought. If he did this, his grandson would have a much smaller chance of becoming the child of destiny.
"But who should I find to marry that strong woman?" Yuta started to look for someone for Tsunade again. But he remembered that Madara would not die for more than ten years. Yuta felt a headache again.
"Forget it! I do not want to think about it anymore. If things get bad, I will fight until I die. Anyway, I cannot escape unless I kill Black Zetsu now."
While Yuta was still worrying about his family in the future, things in the ninja world changed again.
First, Hanzō did something strange. He did not care about the Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja. He attacked the Konoha troops with all his power. It seemed like he would not stop until Konoha was pushed out of the Rain Country.
Tsunade and the other two tried their best to fight back. But the Rain Ninja, led by Hanzō, still pushed them out of the Rain Country.
They could only build a defense line at the border of the Fire Country and ask the Third Hokage for help.
The Third Hokage got the letters asking for help from his three students. He thought about all the people he could send. He saw that Yuta, who was guarding the Land of Water, was the best choice.
Yuta had defeated Hanzō before. This gave him an advantage. It would also make the ninja there feel more hopeful. Also, the Third Hokage did not have anyone else to send.
So the Third Hokage thought about it. He decided to send Yuta to the Land of Rain to fight Hanzō.
Tsunade went to the Land of Wind to help Hatake Sakumo. The old woman Chiyo's poison was very dangerous. Jiraiya and Orochimaru moved to the Land of Water.
"It seems the name 'Three Sannin' will never happen again." Yuta's shadow clone looked at the order in his hand.
He thought this without meaning to. Then, he gave the order to Hyūga Hizashi to keep it safe. Then he made the shadow clone disappear with a "bang."
Yuta was playing with the four little ones at home. He suddenly felt strange. Kiko saw this. She did not bother him. She guessed there might be a problem at the war front.
Yuta got the memory of the shadow clone. He understood why this happened.
He sighed. "They really do not let me rest."
Kiko asked, confused, "What is wrong? What happened?"
Yuta told Kiko about the situation in the Land of Rain.
After listening, Kiko also told him to leave quickly. He felt very happy to stay home with her and the children for half a year during the tense time of the Second Great Ninja War.
So, the next day, Yuta went to the headquarters of the Water National Defense Line.
He saw Hyūga Hizashi give him the Third Hokage's order. Yuta started to get ready to give up his command of the defense line.
Three days later, Jiraiya and Orochimaru arrived. Yuta led them to look at the whole defense line. After seeing it, Jiraiya said loudly, "The preparation is very good! The whole defense line is very strong!"
Orochimaru also nodded quietly behind him. He agreed with Jiraiya. With such a strong defense line, the Water Country would have to attack with great force.
Otherwise, it would be hard to sneak into the Fire Country without anyone noticing and attack Konoha by surprise.
That night, Yuta quietly gave a scroll to Orochimaru. He told him to study it carefully and make the things on it as soon as possible.
Orochimaru looked at Yuta's great ideas on the scroll. He felt great admiration. Then, he put the scroll away. He told Yuta with confidence, "No problem."
Yuta had given him a lot of money for his research in recent years.
Orochimaru still cared a lot about what Yuta wanted. After hearing Orochimaru's promise, Yuta nodded happily. "Finally, the money was not wasted."
After giving up his command, Yuta left with Hyūga Hizashi.
Hyūga Hizashi was Yuta's student in training. He became Yuta's messenger. Yuta brought him along to teach him and keep him safe.
Because they traveled with Hyūga Hizashi, it took them a week to arrive at the Land of Rain.
Tsunade had been waiting impatiently. She became very angry when she saw Yuta. "Why are you so late? Jiraiya and Orochimaru left ten days ago. I am so bored here alone!"
Hyūga Hizashi felt a little embarrassed behind Yuta. Yuta was late because of him.
But before he could say sorry, Tsunade pulled Yuta into the big tent.
Hyūga Hizashi saw them hurry. He felt confused. "Is this blaming him? Or does she miss him?"
Hyūga Hizashi felt a little lost. "Forget it! I do not want to think about it anymore. Let's clean up Yuta-sama's place first."
So he turned and left. A ninja led him to Yuta's place here.
