In the evening, with the heavy snow falling outside the window, everyone sat around a steaming hot Hot Pot, chatting and laughing as they Hot Pot.
Senga specially prepared a large plate of cherry meat for Kaguya. As expected, Kaguya, who loves sour food, fell in love with the taste at first bite and looked at Senga with admiration.
Seeing how much Kaguya was enjoying her food, Kushina couldn't resist picking up a piece and trying it herself.
Then she put down her chopsticks and said to Minato,
"Look at Senga, you should learn this from him, I want to eat it too!"
Minato, who was happily munching on Hot Pot Minato, suddenly froze. Kushina elegantly wiped her mouth and calmly asked,
"What? Is it that difficult?"
"No! It's not difficult at all! Senga, please teach me how to make this dish! I'll definitely learn from you!"
Senga had no time to deal with Minato; while serving Kaguya food, he said considerately,
"Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make more."
Kaguya nodded vigorously. This was the first time she had ever experienced being cared for and looked after, especially while she was pregnant.
The brothers Hamura and Hagoromo were not born naturally, unlike the current situation.
One thing is for sure: the child about to be born will definitely not be a "filial son".
While they were eating, Sena suddenly sat down next to Senga and called out in a clear voice, "Senga."
Senga reached out and patted Sena's head, smiling as she spoke.
Hello, Sena.
Sena opened her arms and asked,
"Senga, can you hug me?"
"Of course!"
Senga Sweet Commander up and let her sit on his arm. Sena giggled.
Naruto was completely dumbfounded. He was a bit of a siscon, but every time he tried to hug Sena, he would get slapped because Sena always complained that his beard was too ugly.
This left him utterly exasperated. The Nine-Tails inside him had even protested about it, as it considered the Nine-Tails to be very cool!
Incidentally, with the help of Minato and Kushina, Naruto's relationship with Nine-Tails improved rapidly. Nine-Tails is not so stingy now, and sometimes it will lend Naruto some Chakra to fight Sasuke.
Kushina smiled to herself from the side.
"Speaking of which, when Sena was just born, she wanted Senga to hold her. It feels like it was just yesterday."
Kaguya looked at Sena in Senga's arms, while her heart was filled with anticipation for the child that was about to be born in her own belly.
Senga saw through Kaguya's thoughts. He took Kaguya's hand and whispered,
"It'll be soon. I'll stay by your side these next few days."
Kaguya rested her head on the other side of Senga's chest and softly hummed in agreement.
Seeing this, Obito secretly glanced at Rin beside him, but Rin noticed him. Rin placed her hand on Obito's forehead and asked worriedly,
"Obito, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Feeling Rin's warmth, Obito felt like he was melting. He slumped to the ground, stammering,
"No, it's nothing, Lin, you're so kind..."
These words made Lin blush deeply. She quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head, saying...
"Ugh, everyone's here, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Kakashi coughed twice, having already removed his ancestral mask. The expression on his face gave off a sly, almost lewd, vibe.
He picked up a slice of meat, chewed it twice, smacked his lips, and commented.
"Still too green! It's lacking something!"
Obito knew Kakashi well enough to know that Kakashi was being sarcastic, and he immediately sat up straight, retorting,
"Yeah, it's better to have more spiritual nourishment. That stuff is so exciting, don't you think, Kakashi?"
"Uh, I don't understand what you're talking about, Rin. I think Obito is really sick. You need to take care of him!"
Obito suddenly activated his Sharingan and glared at Kakashi. His Genjutsu skills were quite strong, and this immediately caught Kakashi off guard, leaving him stunned.
While Kakashi was in a daze, Obito's hand moved like a blur, groping Kakashi's body. In no time, he had a copy of Icha Icha Paradise in his hand.
This copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" looks old; you can tell it's been read many times.
Kakashi finally snapped out of his daze. When he saw the Icha Icha Paradise in Obito's hand, he shuddered. He reached out to grab it, but Obito preemptively threw the book into Rin's hands.
Lin curiously flipped through the book and glanced at it a few times, then her face turned red at a visible speed.
Lin abruptly clasped the book together, her face flushed, and glared at Kakashi, scolding him.
"Kakashi! You usually seem so serious, I never expected you to like reading this kind of book!"
Seeing Rin's strong reaction, Kushina took the book "Icha Icha Paradise" from her. She knew that the author of this book was Jiraiya, but she had never read it.
Minato quickly stopped him upon seeing this.
"It's better not to read this book..."
However, it was too late. Kushina had already opened the book and was completely ignoring Minato, engrossed in reading it.
Every second she spent reading felt incredibly long to Kakashi. He looked to Minato for help, but Minato simply shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help her.
Kushina wasn't a naive girl like Rin. She finished reading with an extremely calm expression, then sighed softly, casually tossed the book to Minato, and said disdainfully,
That's it?
Minato casually stuffed the book into his pocket and echoed,
"There's really nothing interesting about it, but Kakashi is still in the Anbu after all, and it's a bit bad for the Anbu's image if he always carries around this kind of book. I'll keep it for him for a while!"
Kushina rolled her eyes and turned to chat with Kaguya. The two had a lot in common about children.
Kakashi's heart bled as he watched Minato take the book away. That "Icha Icha Paradise" was a rare, illustrated collector's edition, long gone from bookstores.
Obito felt a surge of secret pleasure, but he still put on a pained expression and said to Rin,
"Rin, I also bear responsibility for Kakashi becoming like this. I will definitely keep a close eye on him from now on!"
Kakashi watched Obito showing off and muttered to himself,
"Damn Uchiha..."
"Um?"
Madara and the others put down their chopsticks and all focused their attention on Kakashi's face. Even Senga looked at Kakashi with a half-smile.
Good heavens, Kakashi's words have really stirred up trouble for the Uchiha. He chuckled awkwardly a few times, then quickly pulled up his mask and fell silent.
