Inside Konoha Hospital.
Kakashi's delivery room.
Tsunade, still in her pajamas, pushed open the delivery room door and walked out, yawning as she went.
"That's it, Sakumo. I'm leaving. Remember to treat me to a meal when this is over! And don't forget my house!"
After Tsunade left, Hyuga Ao came out carrying a baby boy with sparse silver hair on his head.
She handed the baby to White Fang and smiled faintly.
"Aunt Tamako has fallen asleep for now. Uncle Sakumo, would you like to hold him?"
White Fang looked at the bloodstains on his hands, hurriedly wiped them on his clothes, and took Kakashi.
Kushina and Kana stood to the side, staring at the newborn Kakashi with eager expressions. They clearly wanted a turn holding him.
Babies in the shinobi world were nothing like those on Blue Star.
They were more mature at birth and did not look all wrinkled. Kakashi was already incredibly cute.
Even White Fang, famous throughout the shinobi world, became flustered when he took Kakashi. Seeing his strange posture, Hyuga Ao could not help laughing.
"Uncle Sakumo, be gentle! Gentler! You're holding a baby, not gripping a sword!"
"Your arm, your arm! Relax! Don't clamp him so tightly with your elbow. This is your son, not an enemy!"
"Ah..." Kakashi began bawling. Looking at White Fang's stiff hands and feet, Hyuga Ao felt helpless and ruthlessly stripped him of his right to hold the baby.
"Forget it, forget it. Uncle Sakumo, I'll hold him. A newborn's skull is very soft. Holding him like that could deform it, and he won't look good when he grows up. Let me do it."
"Oh... oh." Even the decisive White Fang was stunned at this moment. After Hyuga Ao urged him again, he handed Kakashi over to her.
