Today was the most crucial moment!
There absolutely could not be another mishap! Chiba gently straightened his slightly rumpled clothes, took a sip of the mountain spring water, and drew a deep breath.
It was now the morning of Kushina's due date, around nine-thirty in the morning—October 10th, around nine-thirty.
According to the original plot, Kushina would give birth tonight, and Obito would infiltrate as well. The Nine-Tails' Rampage would unfold tonight!
Konoha now knew that Obito was about to attack and had set up multiple layers of defense. Obito should not have been able to break in without a sound.
However, those several layers of defense probably would not be enough to stop the darkened Obito.
He would probably still break in.

After all, as the Third Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi might not have needed much strength, but even Kushina was vaguely afraid of her. She was probably a capable female ninja as well. If prepared, she should not be killed by Obito in a single exchange. Moreover, Minato Namikaze was prepared this time, and maintaining the seal no longer depended on him alone.
