But in Torifu's opinion, Minato had done quite well this time.
He just hadn't had a chance to tell him yet.
"Ah! Kushina! How could I have forgotten about her?"
The moment Minato thought of Kushina, he hurriedly gathered his things and used the Flying Thunder God to return home.
Inside the room, Uchiha Chirori was keeping Kushina company and helping calm her down.
Naruto lay beside Kushina, his little eyes closed and his breathing even.
"This child doesn't look like me at all, does he? He's a little ugly..."
Hearing Kushina, Chirori couldn't help laughing. "All babies look like that when they're born. Haoyuan looked like a little monkey back then. He'll look better once he grows a bit."
Kushina could only hope her sister-in-law was telling the truth. No matter what, though, her love for Naruto would never fade.

Seeing this, Chirori said nothing. She quietly left the room and went back to rest.
Minato walked over to Kushina and kissed her forehead. "Does it hurt?"
Kushina smiled. "I've never been in this much pain before. I nearly smashed the bed to pieces."
Seeing the cracks in the wooden bed, Minato knew his wife must have gone through a great deal of pain.
"Little Naruto, welcome to our family. I'm your dad."
"Haha, Minato, he hasn't even opened his eyes yet. How could he understand you?"
Minato laid Naruto back beside Kushina and tucked the blanket around them both.

"We didn't lose anyone. Big
