"Why did you come back so early today?"
Just when Kushina was about to prepare dinner for Minato, he suddenly returned home.
"Leave the cooking to me."
Minato took off his Hokage robe, folded it and placed it on the sofa in the living room, then immediately ran into the kitchen.
"I'm just newly pregnant, there's no need for you to be so nervous."
Kushina was stunned for a moment, then said, "The doctor also said that as long as I don't do any strenuous exercise, there will be no problem."
Minato, who was already busy, turned his eyes and said, "I know, but my work at this stage is almost done, and the remaining daily tasks aren't too troublesome."
It had been nine months since the end of the Third Ninja World War, and all post-war recovery matters had almost come to an end.
So Minato's work gradually became easier.
"Being pregnant is the hardest thing in the world, so if you have time, leave the housework and cooking to me."
Minato said that although he could assign a few people to be responsible for this, he would rather do it himself.
As parents, watching our children grow up little by little until they are born into this world is what we call happiness.
"Um!"
Kushina smiled softly upon hearing this.
At this moment, her beautiful red eyebrows slightly raised and her eyes looked in one direction.
"Is it him?"
Kushina murmured softly, and Minato glanced over.
At this moment, at the window of Minato's house, Uchiha Yoruki was carrying out the task of guarding Kushina.
His expression was also a little embarrassed. In terms of perception ability alone, Kushina was even better than Minato. In the entire Konoha, almost no one could escape her perception.
In the room.
"I specifically asked him to be your bodyguard during your pregnancy," Minato quickly explained to Kushina.
"Oh."
After getting the explanation, Kushina also agreed with his decision.
But she still looked a little surprised.
Although Kushina knew that Minato had appointed Uchiha Yoruki as the captain of the Anbu, she also had some understanding of the latter's character.
If it were in the past, Uchiha Yoruki would never have agreed to let Minato assign him such a mission.
Thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but smile.
It seemed that Minato's actions after becoming Hokage had finally changed some things.
After a busy period, Minato finally prepared the food.
"Don't you want to invite him to join us?"
Kushina glanced out the window; of course she no longer held a grudge about what happened in her childhood.
Minato shook his head and said, "When the Anbu are performing secret escort missions, they cannot easily show up in front of the target."
"You know what kind of character that guy is. He won't break the rules."
Kushina pursed her lips and could only nod.
At this time, Uchiha Yoruki, who was leaning against the wall outside the window, raised his eyes and looked at the moon that was emitting soft light.
A smile gradually appeared on his face.
It was late at night and Kushina was already asleep.
Minato appeared on the roof of his house, next to Uchiha Yoruki.
"Thank you," Minato smiled.
At this time, Uchiha Yoruki looked at him with a slightly strange expression.
Minato noticed this and asked in astonishment, "What's wrong?"
"I really didn't expect that you can cook," Uchiha Yoruki said.
Minato couldn't help but be surprised by his focus.
The next moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Uchiha Yoruki and said, "I say, it's time for you to find a girlfriend, right?"
Although Uchiha Yoruki was a cold person, he was undoubtedly an extremely outstanding ninja.
After the Third Ninja World War, there were actually quite a few people in the village who admired him.
"I'm leaving."
As soon as Minato finished speaking, Uchiha Yoruki glanced at him and then disappeared over the eaves.
"This guy."
On the eaves, Minato murmured softly that after late night, Uchiha Yoruki would no longer have to carry out the guarding mission.
Because now in the entire Konoha, there was no ninja stronger than him, Kushina's husband.
Kushina's pregnancy news was undoubtedly the village's top secret.
So after the day she found out about her pregnancy, Kushina hardly ever met outsiders.
Apart from Minato and Uchiha Yoruki who was guarding her, the only one who accompanied Kushina was the unborn child in her belly.
After the war, Konoha, and the entire ninja world, moved towards peace.
Konoha, in the seventh training ground.
In the forest, Kakashi was training to improve his reaction speed.
Ever since the last sparring session with Shisui, the latter seemed to have been assigned to carry out some special mission.
So far, several months had passed.
"Tick, tick, tick!"
The sound of thousands of birds singing could be heard from there. Lightning flashed across the dense forest, and wherever it spread, things were immediately destroyed.
"Hoohoo."
After completing his training, Kakashi's breathing began to become a little rapid.
Only now did he realize how difficult it was to master the speed and space-time ninjutsu of Minato Sensei.
The training of reaction speed was different from ordinary ninja training. It was not only very boring but also carried certain risks.
Because in addition to voluntary reactions, this training also included the practice of subconscious reactions.
This kind of practice required stimulation from external factors.
At this moment, Kakashi noticed something and looked sideways. On a tree trunk, there was a ninja from the Anbu standing.
"Hatake Kakashi, the Hokage wants to see you," said the Anbu.
"I understand. Let's go immediately."
Kakashi stood up and said to the man, then he moved and disappeared from the spot.
His speed caused the Anbu to look slightly surprised.
Hokage's office.
"Teacher Minato, do you have a mission for me?" Kakashi asked as he walked into the office.
"You're here."
Raising his eyes and looking at Kakashi in front of him, Minato chuckled.
With a quick glance, Minato judged from the marks on his body that he had just experienced high-intensity training.
Even his chakra fluctuations had just begun to stabilize.
"Haha, it seems like it won't be long before you can complete your self-created ninjutsu."
Minato never doubted Kakashi's talent. If Kakashi had not been trained by Sakumo-senpai since he was a child, he would probably have taught him his own ninjutsu.
However, every ninja had his own training direction. If Minato asked him to learn his own ninjutsu, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Kakashi nodded and said, "Probably."
At this time, Minato stood up, stared at the boy in front of him, and said with a smile: "I called you here today to inform you of something."
Immediately his expression straightened.
"After discussion among the village's top brass, I am now officially issuing you a promotion order."
"Hatake Kakashi, from today on, you are a Jonin of the Konoha Ninja Village."
