Nayuki's Pregnancy

Kawafune took Nayuki to the hospital. The staff all knew he was a major benefactor.

Quite a few people greeted him along the way.

Kawafune nodded and smiled patiently in response.

They made their way to the room where Tsunade was teaching.

Through the window, they could see Tsunade writing medical knowledge on the blackboard.

Below her sat a group of foolish Uchiha, listening attentively.

Treating illnesses and saving lives was a solemn matter. Any lapse could result in a patient's death.

So Tsunade looked stern as she taught, and showed no mercy when scolding people.

It made Kawafune, that lecher, think of some unhealthy Japanese films again.

Before long, Sakumo arrived to join the two of them.

"Why didn't you bring your sister-in-law for an examination?"

"Tsunade has the best medical skills. We're waiting for her."

Kawafune answered with complete confidence, and Sakumo wanted to strangle him.

It was just a pregnancy checkup, yet he insisted on waiting for Tsunade. Did he think Sakumo didn't know what he was up to?

"Forget it. Tsunade will be out soon."

Afraid that these two fools would make a scene at the hospital, Nayuki hurriedly stepped in to calm them down.

After the class ended, Tsunade came out and found Kawafune and the Sakumo couple waiting for her.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother Sakumo, Sister-in-law."

Tsunade had already put on a smile.

"My sister-in-law might be pregnant. We came to have you examine her."

"She only trusts your medical skills."

Kawafune sweet-talked Tsunade until she was delighted, while Sakumo rolled his eyes beside Nayuki.

"It's not as amazing as you say. It's just an examination."

"Sister-in-law, come with me."

After modestly brushing it off, Tsunade took Nayuki to the examination room.

That left the two neurotic brothers staring each other down. Clearly, Sakumo still hadn't calmed down.

"Calm down. Getting angry isn't good for the baby."

Kawafune gave an awkward smile and went over to comfort his brother.

Sakumo was stunned. The baby wasn't in his stomach, so what did his anger have to do with anything?

Then the two brothers started fighting in the hospital.

By the time Tsunade and Nayuki came out after the examination—

The two embarrassing idiots had finally gotten up and dusted themselves off.

They pretended nothing had happened.

"Is she pregnant?"

Sakumo's face was full of anticipation.

"Congratulations. You're going to be a father."

As soon as Tsunade delivered the news, Sakumo was overjoyed.

He picked Nayuki up and spun her around several times. His efforts had finally borne fruit.

"If you keep acting like this, I'm really worried about our child's future upbringing."

Cradled in his arms, Nayuki was beaming, but she still didn't forget to tease her husband.

"Fine. As long as he doesn't make me call him Big Brother in the future, I won't beat him up."

Sakumo agreed readily.

"Who's beating up whom? You should know that yourself."

As soon as Kawafune said that, Tsunade dragged him away. There had to be something wrong with these brothers' heads.

"Say that again?"

Sakumo had already put Nayuki down, but she grabbed his hand.

If not for the two women, another fierce battle between the brothers would have begun.

Tsunade pulled Kawafune into her director's office.

With the support of such a wealthy patron, the office was lavishly decorated.

The two sat on the sofa, and Kawafune did not forget the other matter he wanted to ask about.

"Can dystocia kill someone?"

"Huh? Yes, it can."

"But there are many different causes of dystocia."

"If there's severe bleeding, it can very easily lead to death."

Tsunade had no idea why Kawafune had suddenly asked such a question, but she patiently explained it anyway.

"Oh, oh. There are very few people in the Hatake Clan."

"I'm just preparing for the worst."

Kawafune casually made up an excuse. In the original story, Kakashi's mother had died young. He guessed there was a high chance she had either died in childbirth or during the Second Great Ninja War.

If the issue of difficult childbirth was handled, then either he or his brother could watch over things on the battlefield. There was nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll handle it personally. If I don't have time, I'll arrange for the best Medical Ninja."

"Even if a cesarean section is necessary, I'll ensure the safety of both Sister-in-law and the child."

Tsunade did not doubt him. Although the brothers were a little unhinged around each other, they were still very close.

"That's good. So when are you going to have one for me?"

Once the serious matter was settled, Kawafune started acting improper again.

He shifted closer to Tsunade and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Let go. This is a hospital. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."

Tsunade's faint struggle and unconvincing excuse did nothing to stop Kawafune.

"Later. Later."

With no other choice, Tsunade could only brush him off for now.

"When is later?"

Kawafune leaned close to Tsunade's ear and lightly touched her earlobe.

Tsunade's face instantly turned red.

Just as Kawafune was about to take things further, the office door opened.

"I didn't see anything."

It was Nayuki's voice, and then the door slammed shut again.

"What's going on?"

Sakumo foolishly tried to open the door, but Nayuki slapped his hand away.

By then, Tsunade had forcefully broken free from Kawafune's embrace inside the office.

"I told you it wouldn't be good if someone saw us, but you wouldn't listen."

As she spoke, she lightly punched Kawafune twice. No matter how one looked at it, she seemed to be acting coquettishly.

"It's fine. She's not an outsider."

Kawafune took it in stride. It was only his sister-in-law who had seen them. No big deal.

Tsunade once again experienced Kawafune's shamelessness firsthand. She rolled her eyes at him and returned to sit behind her director's desk.

"All right, then. Get back to work. I'm heading home."

Seeing that he would not be getting any more advantage, Kawafune stood up to leave.

Tsunade looked at him without speaking. The blush on her face had yet to fade.

"Remember, later."

Kawafune said with a smile before opening the door and leaving the office.

He found Sakumo and Nayuki still waiting outside.

"I didn't interrupt you two, did I?"

The flames of gossip burned brightly in Nayuki's eyes.

"No. Let's go home."

Kawafune had no intention of telling his sister-in-law about how he flirted with girls.

He snapped his fingers in a cool pose, and vanished from the spot.

"I told you we didn't need to wait for that little brat."

Sakumo stamped his feet in anger.

Great. They had waited for nothing.

"Haha, if you've got the ability, fly home too."

Nayuki could not help laughing. Taking Sakumo's hand, she walked home with him step by step.

Their future child could not be as stubborn as Sakumo, nor could he be as improper as Kawafune.

Thinking of how her child would have such a father and uncle, Nayuki could only silently pray for him.

Hopefully, he would have a happy childhood.

After returning home, Kawafune was still seated at the stone table. The servants had already replaced the tea; they were quite perceptive.

At that moment, Ghost Mastiff emerged from some hidden corner. Not catching Nayuki's scent at home had left it feeling deeply insecure.

"You still dare show your face in front of me?"

Kawafune had just had his intimate moment with Tsunade interrupted. Now that he had a target to vent on, it was simply a gift from heaven.

By the time Ghost Mastiff realized what was happening, it was too late. With its master absent, its dog life was hopeless.

Kawafune immediately subdued it with the Flying Thunder God.

Like lifting a cat, he picked Ghost Mastiff up by the scruff.

"Weren't you so damn tough? Go on, act tough for me again."

Kawafune held Ghost Mastiff up to his own eye level and stared directly into its dog eyes.

Ghost Mastiff's eyes were full of evasiveness.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off."

"I'm about to become an uncle."

"By next year, you'd better prepare the strongest pup for my nephew. Understand?"

Kawafune pulled Ghost Mastiff even closer.

The dog nodded its head frantically. It was just breeding, right? It could do that.

Ghost Mastiff would rather endure the torment of breeding than have Kawafune hold it by the scruff of fate.

"That's more like it, haha."

Kawafune tossed Ghost Mastiff aside and let out a perverted laugh.
