Chapter 58: Konoha Year 48, October th
—The Third Parallel Universe—

48 years of Konoha

October th
Konoha Ninja Village
Hokage Building
A beautiful young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was sitting on the sofa in the Hokage's office with her bulging belly, drinking tea leisurely.

"I say, Xun, you are in this state now, why don't you go back and rest? I will be in charge of this place for the time being."

The 57-year-old Sarutobi Hiruzen looked helplessly at the pregnant Fourth Hokage in front of him.

"Third generation, after all, if I leave suddenly without telling you, if you encounter any problems, you will have to send someone to ask me."

"This is so troublesome. I might as well just stay here and save myself the trouble."

The 24-year-old Kaoru responded to the Sandaime Hokage with a gentle smile on her face.

"By the way, where is that kid Jiu Xing? Where did he go? He didn't come to take care of you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in dissatisfaction while reviewing official documents.

"He said he was going to make chicken soup for me..."

Xun had a happy smile on her face and spoke while stroking her bulging belly.

"Humph, this brat has a conscience."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have thought of something annoying and curled his lips.

"Third generation old man, it's not a good habit to say bad things about others behind their backs."

During the conversation, a tall young man came in hurriedly carrying a thermos bucket.

"Humph, you little brat, why don't you take your wife back home? Running around with a big belly is not what a pregnant woman should do."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the tall man in front of him with displeasure.

However, Jiu Xing simply ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen, carefully sat down next to Xun and opened the thermos in his hand for her.

If he could have persuaded Kaoru, he would have let her stay at home and take care of her pregnancy peacefully. There would be no need for him to come here and see Sarutobi Hiruzen's ugly old face.

Fortunately, the Konoha Hospital is right next to the Hokage Building, so if any problems arise, we can rush to the hospital as quickly as possible at any time.

"Come on, be careful."

Jiu Xing carefully opened the thermos, served a bowl of soup to Xun, scooped up the soup spoon, blew gently, and brought it to Xun's mouth.

With a smile on her face, Xun looked at her husband, whose eyes were full of her, and opened her mouth slightly.

Seeing Xun drinking the chicken soup he cooked, Jiu Xing couldn't help but smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sniffed the fragrance in the air and couldn't help twitching his lips as he looked at the couple in front of him who were being affectionate and showing off their love as if no one was around.

Lake Biwa, I want to drink chicken soup too...

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about his wife who worked in the hospital, Kyuuki had already fed the bowl of chicken soup in his hand to Kaoru.

Just when he was about to give Xun another bowl, a white and delicate hand held him down.

"I can't drink anymore~~"

"I ate too much today~~"

Looking at his wife's soft and coquettish appearance, Jiu Xing felt like his heart was melting.

"Okay, if you can't eat it, then don't eat it."

Jiu Xing held his wife's warm little hand with a gentle look on his face.

Then Jiu Xing turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen next to him, and said with a look on his face that he had gotten a bargain:

"Old man, drink the remaining chicken soup."

"Xiao Xun can't drink anymore."

"It can be considered as a way to replenish your body as an old man."

A well-shaped character appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead.

I endure it, I endure it.

These two guys, one is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the other is the Fourth Hokage, are the pillars of the village.

Don't be angry, don't be angry...

"How can you talk like that? Show some respect to the Third Generation Master."

Xun looked at her husband reproachfully.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Jiu Xing turned around and looked at his wife tenderly.

"Then let's go take a walk downstairs. You've been stuck here all this time. I'm sure the turbid air exhaled by this old man is making you uncomfortable."

Jiu Xing held Xun's hand with a concerned look on his face. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xun's well-behaved appearance made Jiu Xing quickly help her stand up.

"Jiu Xing, I'm just pregnant, not incapable of taking care of myself. There's no need to be like this."

Xun looked at her husband who was taking care of her so well. Her face seemed a little helpless but more of happy.

"It's necessary. If you get bumped or bruised, the baby in your belly won't be a big deal."

"What if Xun gets hurt?"

Jiu Xing said seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about~~"

Xun slapped Jiuxing in annoyance, then let the man lead her downstairs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the two people leaving with dead fish eyes.

Finally they left. When Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to open the window to ventilate the air, his eyes fell on the thermos bucket of chicken soup on the coffee table, which had only one bowl of it.

Although that brat Jiu Xing is a bit of a bastard.

But his craftsmanship is still pretty good...

at dusk
Jiuxing held Xun's hand and sat on a bench in the park, watching the children playing not far away.

"Jiu Xing, do you think our future children will be as lively as these children?"

Xun rested her head on her man's strong arms, her beautiful eyes gently gazing at the children playing in front of her.

"Of course, this is my and Xun's child after all. He must be the best child in the village."

The red-haired man put his arm around his wife's shoulders and spoke tenderly.

"I'm talking to you seriously~~"

Xun slapped her husband angrily.

"I'm also answering Xun's question very seriously."

The man held his wife's hand and was thinking about saying something when he found that his wife's face suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

Jiu Xing quickly asked with concern.

"I, I think I'm about to give birth..."

Xun said a little uncertainly.

However, before Jiu Xing could continue asking questions, a team of medical ninjas in white coats quickly appeared around.

One of the female ninjas immediately reached out and placed her hand on Xun's abdomen, and then her palm glowed green.

In less than a moment, she immediately opened her mouth and said:

"Master Jiu Xing, the Fourth-generation Master is about to give birth."

"We must get the Fourth Generation to the hospital immediately."

Hearing the words of the medical ninja who was on call at any time, Jiu Xing's face immediately changed and he said in a panic:

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

As these medical ninjas quickly took out the weapons they had to form a stretcher, Jiuxing carefully helped Xun lie down on it.

"No, it's okay, it's just having a baby."

"Kaoru, don't worry."

Seeing that her husband was even more nervous than herself, Xun couldn't help but speak gently to comfort her husband.

"Ok, I know."

"It's just having a baby."

"As long as Jiu Xing is here, nothing will be a problem."

Under the cover of night, a man in a black robe stood quietly on the rock statue of Hashirama Senju, looking at the Konoha Hospital which was tightly shrouded by the barrier.

A flash of scarlet flashed across his eyes...

"We have heard clearly that Golden Flash is giving birth."

A strange white creature emerged from the ground, looked at the tall man and spoke.
