Kushina is Naruto's mother, so her getting pregnant is normal.
But the timing is wrong!
The Third Great Ninja War isn't over yet.
Minato Namikaze has not yet become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
Of course, more importantly...
For the past month, Minato Namikaze has not been back in Konoha.
A month ago, Uchiha Kai had been the one.
At this, Uchiha Kai awkwardly touched his nose and subconsciously asked.
"Is it... mine?"
Kushina just looked at Uchiha Kai mockingly, without saying a word.
But her gaze was obvious.
'If not yours, whose could it be?'
'Do you have any idea what you've done for the past month!'
But now, everything was over.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina knew better than anyone how much importance Konoha placed on her.
She could barely hide the pregnancy in the early stages, but if it went on a little longer, it would definitely be discovered.
After all, a Jinchuriki's pregnancy is different from an ordinary woman's; her chakra signature could not be completely hidden.
The fact that Uchiha Kai could do as he pleased during this period was largely due to luck.
Because after Kushina and Minato Namikaze got to know each other, Konoha's surveillance on her changed from being heavily guarded to being strict on the outside but lax on the inside.
As long as she was in Konoha village, no one was guarding her, only restricting her from leaving Konoha.
Uchiha Kai was a bit stunned upon hearing this, although he had indeed worried about Kushina getting pregnant before.
Because he never took precautions.
It would affect his flexibility, dull his senses, feel awkward, and lead to a poor performance.
But he really didn't expect Kushina to get pregnant so quickly.
'Doesn't the world's plot have inertia? The transmigrator seniors misled me!'
'The plot doesn't follow the rules!'
'So easily...'
One must know, the child Kushina gives birth to is Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto is the 'savior' of this world, an existence equivalent to the world's protagonist.
How could the plot change so frivolously?
Uchiha Kai admitted that during this process, he had been hoping for a lucky break.
But, setting the facts aside, doesn't the world of Naruto bear any responsibility for this?
Seeing the flash of panic on Uchiha Kai's face, the mockery on Kushina's face grew stronger, followed by a deep sense of loss.
'Goodbye, Minato. I'm sorry. You will meet a better girl!'
If, during the time she was being threatened by Uchiha Kai, she had held a sliver of hope for a future with Minato Namikaze, then after getting pregnant, she had completely given up on that idea.
Kushina thought, looking down at her flat stomach.
A trace of motherly love flashed in her eyes, and she gently reached out to stroke it.
'From now on... you are my only family.'
Kushina had no intention of getting rid of the child. On the contrary, the pregnancy had become her spiritual support.
Once this matter was exposed, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she would surely be fine, but Uchiha Kai would be a different story.
The Hokage would absolutely not allow the Uchiha clan to have such a close relationship with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
In addition, Uchiha Kai was already on the fringes of the Uchiha clan.
In a situation where he was disliked by both sides, Kushina didn't even have to think to know that Uchiha Kai would definitely meet a bad end.
This way, she could truly be free...
And the facts were indeed so.
With Uchiha Kai's strength from a month ago, if something like this happened, he would definitely disappear suddenly on some dark and windy night in the future.
But, on the other hand, if it were only the Uchiha Kai from a month ago, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
However, Kushina's sudden pregnancy had indeed caught Uchiha Kai off guard.
He had originally planned to just get by, lay low in Konoha and watch the show, earn emotion points on the side, secretly become invincible, and be a master of laying low.
Treating it like a live-action experience of the Naruto anime.
Watch Naruto and Sasuke's passionate rivalry, and then do some things he liked.
Kushina's pregnancy made him discard this slacker mentality.
But on second thought, Uchiha Kai realized that having this kind of relationship with Kushina meant that he was destined not to just get by from the very beginning.
Kushina's pregnancy had merely brought that process forward a bit.
After the Third Great Ninja War ends, Minato Namikaze will become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha with the strong support of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Immediately after, Minato Namikaze would marry Kushina.
At that time, Uchiha Kai couldn't just watch and let Minato Namikaze be cuckolded, could he?
Realizing this point, Uchiha Kai rubbed his brow.
'I originally just planned to be a slacker, but my strength doesn't allow it.'
Uchiha Kai understood clearly that once the news of Kushina's pregnancy broke, it would trigger a series of chain reactions, and he would have no place left in Konoha.
After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan is not invincible.
At that time, it wouldn't even require Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Hiruzen Sarutobi to act.
Just Minato Namikaze leading an elite Jonin squad would be enough to easily kill him if they had complete information.
Unless Uchiha Kai defected from Konoha now, fled to a distant land, and hid himself within the ninja world.
But that kind of life, like a rat in the sewer, was not what Uchiha Kai wanted.
Life in Konoha was good, and Kushina was appealing. He wouldn't give up this kind of life.
Kushina's gaze never left Uchiha Kai's face, as if she wanted to see his despair, to see his panic, and use it to vent the hatred and depression that had built up in her heart during this time.
But she was quickly disappointed. After his initial brief panic, Uchiha Kai quickly calmed down and met her gaze again.
Uchiha Kai smiled slightly and said calmly.
"I understand."
Kushina was stunned to hear this.
'He understands? Does he really understand? This shouldn't be his reaction!'
But Kushina quickly resumed her sneer.
In her view, Uchiha Kai was just pretending to be calm.
"If you understand, then leave quickly. Do you need me to see you out today?"
"Leave? I have no intention of leaving."
Kushina frowned slightly, looking at Uchiha Kai in confusion.
She saw a crimson glow suddenly appear in Uchiha Kai's dark pupils, and the alluring Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared once again.
Under Kushina's gaze, the three tomoe began to spin.
As time went on, the tomoe spun faster and faster...
Scared?
No, right now, Uchiha Kai's heart was filled only with excitement.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Uchiha Kai, at this moment, was even starting to look forward to the future...
