Chapter 167 Pregnant Kushina (Subscription Request)
"Jiu Xing, don't move, I'll lean on you for a while..."

"Just for a moment..."

If there is anyone who can best understand the pain Kushina is feeling right now, that person is neither Kaoru nor Minato Namikaze.

That person can only be Jiu Xing who is silent now.

Because of the relationship of being an isomorph, Jiu Xing truly felt Kushina's inner confusion and helplessness at the moment, as well as the feeling of powerlessness to reverse the situation.

After an unknown amount of time, Kushina silently raised her head and looked at the seventeen-year-old counterpart in front of her.

Suddenly, Kushina smiled, a smile mixed with tears and relief.

"Well, this is my own business after all."

"Just leave everything to me."

"Kyuuki has done more than enough to help me keep an eye on Menma."

Looking at Kushina who was pretending to be strong, Jiu Xing hesitated and said slowly:

"Sister Kushina, do you want to leave Konoha over there?"

"With Minato Namikaze."

With Jiu Xing's current strength, it is not difficult for him to rush into Konoha alone and forcibly rescue Minato Namikaze from Konoha Prison.

Upon hearing this, Kushina just shook her head and looked at the lights of thousands of homes in Konoha in front of her.

It was as if I could see the Konoha of my own world from here.

"Jiu Xing, thank you for your kindness."

"If you really do that."

"Minato will die."

Kushina knew her husband all too well.

Although he attaches great importance to family, Konoha is also an indispensable part of his heart.

Originally, because of Menma's attack on Konoha, he had mobilized all his connections and begged the Fifth Hokage to show leniency.

For the crimes Menma committed, even dying ten times would not be enough to atone for them.

However, the Fifth Hokage did not kill Menma for the sake of Minato Namikaze, but only imprisoned him.

Now, because Minato Namikaze couldn't bear to see his son suffer, he released Menma and took the blame for Menma's crime.

A man was imprisoned in Konoha's prison.

He was locked up voluntarily.

If he wanted to leave, no one in Konoha could stop him.

If Jiu Xing really rushed into Konoha alone and rescued Minato Namikaze.

What awaits him is not the hope of life, but the arrival of death.

Namikaze Minato would rather die than bear the charge of treason.

The famous golden flash Minato Namikaze became an S-level rebel ninja of Konoha?
He couldn't do that anyway.

Minato Namikaze is the direct disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas of Konoha. He is one of the few members of the Uzumaki clan, and the fifth generation takes good care of him on a daily basis.

Lord Uzumaki Mito even entrusted the Nine-Tails to his family.

Now that the situation has become like this, Minato Namikaze feels extremely guilty. If Jiu Xing wants to take Minato Namikaze out of Konoha Prison.

He won't agree.

If Jiu Xing takes a hard approach.

Then the most likely possibility is that Minato Namikaze committed suicide on the spot.

Looking at Kushina's face, Jiu Xing also understood and continued:
"How can I help you?"

Kushina looked at the big boy in front of her and subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but at this moment she remembered the words of her husband Minato Namikaze.

For our children...

Never let Menma come back...

I guess Minato must have been in great pain when he made this decision.

"Jiu Xing."

"In the next few days, please take good care of me."

"please……"

"The sins he has committed will be borne by Minato and I."

Jiu Xing stared at Kushina in front of him in a daze, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"You mean..."

As if she knew what Jiu Xing was thinking, Kushina nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, I don't plan to take Menma back with me."

"If he is brought back to Konoha, he will definitely not escape death."

"But Menma's mistakes were too serious. The village was able to spare his life because of Minato and me."

"Now that he has escaped from prison because of Minato, he cannot bear the consequences of everything that has happened."

"As parents, how can we watch our children die?"

"So, please, Jiu Xing."

"I know this is too much to ask of you, and you have no obligation to take responsibility for Menma."

"But, right now, I can no longer find any hope of keeping Menma alive."

"This is my life's request, Jiu Xing."

Looking at Kushina's resolute look in front of him, Jiu Xing didn't know what to say.

She and Minato Namikaze were definitely dedicated parents, but they were not dedicated ninjas.

But since the other party was his counterpart, Jiu Xing couldn't say much.

"it is good."

Jiu Xing could only nod in agreement.

As Jiuxing and Kushina went downstairs, Xun was very considerate and cooked a bowl of ramen for Kushina and placed it on the dining table.

"Thanks a lot."

"Kaoru."

Kushina looked at the well-behaved and sensible girl in front of her gently.

She has always liked Kaoru, and in Kushina's eyes, Kaoru and Kaoru are like her own children.

"Humph."

Menma Uzumaki was still slurping noodles with an expressionless face.

The moment Kushina sat down, Uzumaki Menma slammed his chopsticks and said:
"I'm done eating."

"Go wash your own dishes."

Jiu Xing glanced at him and said.

"Tsk, I get it."

Uzumaki Menma reluctantly took his bowl and walked straight into the kitchen.

Kushina sighed as she looked at her son.

Picking up her chopsticks, Kushina was about to pick up a piece of Naruto roll and put it into her mouth when a sudden wave of nausea came over her.

Kushina suddenly covered her chest, bent over and began to retch.

"What, what's wrong?"

Kaoru looked at Kushina in panic.

She didn't put anything weird in her ramen.

"Would you like to see Sister Tsunade?"

Jiu Xing also looked at Kushina with concern at this moment. "Ugh... No, it's okay..."

Kushina covered her chest, took the cup of water handed to her by Kaoru and took a sip to relieve her discomfort.

"There's no need to trouble Godai so much... There's no need to trouble Lady Tsunade so much..."

Kushina subconsciously wanted to say the Fifth Hokage, but realized halfway through that the Tsunade she was talking about was not the Tsunade from her own world.

"You'd better go and take a look. How are you going to handle the next thing in this state?"

What Jiu Xing was talking about was naturally the subsequent negotiation between Kushina and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Kushina had already planned to keep Menma Uzumaki here.

But we still have to do some surface work, after all, Team Sakura will probably be here soon.

Looking at Kuyuki and Kaoru who looked concerned for her, Kushina nodded hesitantly.

Seeing that Kushina agreed, Kyuuki and Kaoru quickly put on their coats and protected Kushina as she went out. Before leaving, they said to Uzumaki Menma who had just finished washing the dishes, "Take good care of the house."

Uzumaki Menma looked calmly at the three people who disappeared into the night without saying a word.

And Jiuxing and Xun quickly took Kushina and knocked on the door of the Senju residence.

Now Tsunade is the only one left in the Senju clan. Tsunade doesn't like the extremely silent Senju clan land, so she bought a house outside for herself to live in.

However, as the door of the Senju mansion opened, a handsome man with long white hair appeared in front of Jiu Xing.

"Uh, it's broken."

Jiu Xing looked at the man in front of her with some surprise.

Kato Dan, Tsunade's lover, was not sent to the battlefield by Sarutobi Hiruzen this time, so he survived.

"Jiu Xing, Xun, what are you doing?"

Kato Dan looked at the two juniors in front of him with some surprise.

This is an extremely outstanding younger generation in the village, and it can be said that everyone in the ninja circle knows him.

"Who is this?"

Kato Dan looked at Kushina behind Jiu Xing and asked with some confusion.

"Is Sister Tsunade here?"

Jiu Xing asked directly without any intention of explaining Kushina's existence.

Tsunade knows Kushina, so all she needs to do is let Tsunade see what's wrong with Kushina.

"Oh, Tsunade is inside, come in."

Kato Dan scratched his head. Although he didn't know who Kushina was, he still let the three in.

Tsunade has always been very nice to Jiuxing. If Tsunade knew that I was hesitating and not letting Jiuxing in, she would probably punch me again.

"Tsunade-sister!"

Jiu Xing started shouting as soon as he entered the door.

"Here I come, you little brat, you're always yelling."

Before Jiu Xing finished speaking, he saw Tsunade walking down the stairs.

However, Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned by the familiar figure standing with Jiu Xing.

Uzumaki Kushina.

Just a few days ago, Jiu Xing told those people from Konoha in the other world to let Kushina come over.

So fast?
"Lady Tsunade, long time no see."

Kushina nodded slightly towards Tsunade.

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

Tsunade nodded slightly, then she came in front of the three people and said with a little confusion:

"You were yelling for Kushina to come over before, and now that she's here, why are you bringing her to me again?"

Tsunade could probably understand why Jiu Xing didn't want to care about the other Nine-Tails.

One is the person who raised you, and the other is your close partner.

It’s troublesome no matter how you choose.

"It's like this, Sister Tsunade."

Jiu Xing quickly explained the purpose of his visit.

"I see. Please sit down first."

Tsunade led the three of them to sit on the sofa in the living room, and Kato Dan also brought a pot of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

"Give me your hand."

Tsunade looked at Kushina, who looked much more haggard than in previous years.

Kushina said nothing, she just held out her hand to Tsunade.

Tsunade placed her fingers on Kushina's fair wrist with ease, but less than five seconds after she did so, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"What, what's wrong, Tsunade-sama?"

Kushina couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she saw Tsunade's face suddenly become so serious.

"Have you been retching a lot lately?"

As an experienced person, Kushina was suddenly shocked when she heard Tsunade ask this.

Is it possible...

"……Um."

Kushina gritted her teeth and nodded with difficulty.

"It's been about two months. Haven't you noticed?"

Tsunade couldn't help but wonder as she looked at Kushina who looked unhappy.

Two months...

Kushina brainstormed quickly.

There was indeed one time before Minato went to Konoha Prison for the last time, and the time was right...

pregnant myself.

"Then what should I do?"

"Tsunade-sama?"

Kushina looked at Tsunade for help.

"How to do?"

"Of course she was born."

Tsunade said as a matter of course.

In the ninja world where wars are most frequent, there are basically no abortion drugs. Population is power, population is everything. Unless the baby endangers the existence of the mother, this last resort is the only option.

Moreover, the scarce abortion drugs are contraband, and anyone who wants to undergo this type of surgery must go through a lot of procedures.

Very troublesome.

"What, what was born?"

Kaoru looked at Kushina with some confusion as her expression turned grim.

Jiu Xing looked at Xun who had no idea what was going on, and couldn't help but lean close to her ear and whispered to explain to her.

"Eh?"

Xun's face suddenly turned red.

Well, if that's the case, and I'm doing that with Jiuxing, will I get pregnant too?

"Lady Tsunade, this child, can you please not..."

Kushina looked at Tsunade in front of her with difficulty, who was completely different from the one in her own world, and spoke.
