Naruto's Birth

Izumi, who had been on the verge of striking again, was suddenly told to stop.

"That's enough, Izumi. Your identity has been compromised; it's easy to get hurt if you keep pushing forward."

Uchiha Chen said this hurriedly, grabbing Uchiha Izumi's hand to prevent her from getting any closer. He then stepped forward without hesitation, delivering a forceful kick to Danzo's uninjured left arm. Following his movement, a Kunai slipped from Danzo's hand and clattered to the ground.

This scene happened to fall right into the eyes of Uchiha Izumi behind him, causing a flush of embarrassment to instantly surface on her cheeks.

Although she knew in her heart that she wouldn't be hurt, having her senior point it out so bluntly still made her feel a bit self-conscious. Meanwhile, Danzo, hearing his master's voice, realized he had nearly ruined everything by attempting to attack just moments ago, a look of lingering fear appearing on his face.

However, he dared not make the slightest move now. He simply let the Kunai drop as he followed the momentum of Uchiha Chen's kick, falling to his knees and begging for Uchiha Chen's forgiveness.

Uchiha Chen successfully stopped Uchiha Izumi, who had wanted to vent her frustration due to the earlier embarrassment. He crossed his arms over his chest, staring coldly at the pathetic, disheveled Danzo on the ground as if looking at an insignificant ant.

He commanded in an unquestionable tone: "Danzo, the Nine-Tails will appear tonight. You must avoid hindering the Uchiha clan's actions as much as possible, while also providing assistance at the right moment without drawing attention to yourself. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Danzo felt a jolt in his heart. He couldn't fathom why his master was so certain the Nine-Tails would lose control, but out of reverence for his master, he replied in a low voice: "Yes, I understand, Master. Tonight, I shall do everything in my power to provide aid to the Uchiha clan and ensure no one notices."

However, Danzo's expression suddenly turned ugly. He hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to look up, meeting Uchiha Chen's impatient gaze, and cautiously revealed a shocking fact: "Master, I issued an order when I dispatched the Root members earlier... if the situation spirals out of control, they are to be responsible for assassinating the Nine-Tails jinchuriki. I wonder if this will affect your plans, Master?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Chen tilted his head slightly, glancing at Danzo from the corner of his eye. A look of contempt curled his lips as he mocked: "Those useless fools under your command couldn't possibly stop the appearance of the Nine-Tails. There is absolutely no need to worry."

He then turned his gaze to Izumi beside him, his tone becoming exceptionally gentle as he whispered: "Izumi, I have arranged everything. The rest of the time is yours.

Rest assured, this old dog wouldn't dare to resist." With that, Uchiha Chen turned and returned to the chair he had been sitting in earlier, lifting his legs and casually resting them on the table in front of him.

Listening to the faint sounds coming from below, he slowly closed his eyes and began to rest. After all, there were still many things waiting for him tonight, and he had to take this opportunity to recover his energy.

A long time later!

"Senior! Senior! Wake up! It's time to go back!"

Uchiha Chen gradually awoke to the soft calls in his ear. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at the satisfied-looking Izumi before her, and gently rubbed her forehead.

Uchiha Chen asked with a smile: "Do you feel better now? It's still early; you can play for a while longer." Uchiha Izumi replied with great joy: "It feels so good, thank you for being so kind to me, Senior."

As she spoke, she rushed toward Uchiha Chen like a nimble little rabbit and kissed his cheek without hesitation. Feeling the warm, soft touch on his face, Uchiha Chen instinctively reached out his arm and pulled Izumi's waist tightly against him.

Then, he cast his gaze toward Danzo below, whose face was as pale as paper, but said nothing. The next second, the void around Uchiha Chen suddenly twisted slightly. Under the pull of Kamui, the figures of the two gradually blurred until they completely vanished from the spot.

Only Danzo remained, a look of agonizing nausea on his face as he gasped for air, struggling to calm the discomfort in his heart.

As time flew by, the sun soon dipped below the mountains, and the night descended quietly.

"Ah~ it hurts so much!"

Suddenly, a series of harrowing screams rang out.

Just as Uchiha Chen, Danzo, and Uchiha Fugaku had all finished their preparations, Kushina began the labor process.

Namikaze Minato said nervously: "That... this is the first time I've ever seen Kushina scream in pain like this.

Is she really going to be alright?"

Namikaze Minato, who had been maintaining the sealing technique with both hands, watched the wailing Kushina with deep concern, his heart filled with anxiety, fearing that some unexpected accident might occur.

Hearing this, Biwako, who was in charge of the delivery, glared at Minato, replying with some impatience: "Don't worry, it will be fine. I have everything under control. Your primary task right now is to focus and keep a close watch on the Nine-Tails seal; there must be no mistakes!"

Namikaze Minato: "But, that..." Biwako: "Don't be so flustered, you are the Fourth Hokage. A man might have given up long ago, but a mother is very strong."

As the Nine-Tails struggled violently within the seal, the external seal began to grow unstable.

At this very moment, Namikaze Minato felt the immense power of the Nine-Tails' resistance in his heart while silently cheering for Kushina and Naruto. His eyes were filled with strength, as if he wanted to convey it all to them through his gaze.

However, at this critical moment, Obito appeared on the periphery of the seal. He gripped an Anbu member's neck tightly with his right hand, and after confirming the kill, slowly stood up.

His face, hidden by a mask, remained exceptionally silent. His gaze, sharp as a cold arrow, stared fixedly at the cave where the barrier was set up above.

A few seconds later, Obito moved like a ghost and eventually vanished into the stone wall. Only the breeze remained, sweeping across the silent night sky, along with the corpses scattered on the ground, quietly telling of the approaching danger.

Waa! Waa! Waa!

Finally, accompanied by crisp cries, Kushina successfully gave birth to the child. Her tears fell silently down her delicate face amidst her heavy panting. These were tears of joy, as well as expectations and hope for the future.

The few people nearby, completely unaware that danger was closing in, all wore expressions of relief.

With the sound of the crisp, loud cries of the infant, their hearts, which had been hanging in the balance, finally settled.

After handing Naruto to Minato and Kushina so the couple could take a look, Biwako carefully held little Naruto and slowly retreated, leaving more space for the couple, who were still immersed in the immense joy of having just welcomed their son.

Just as Namikaze Minato, moved, held Kushina's hand to comfort her sweetly and prepared to focus his energy on completely sealing the Nine-Tails within her body.

The anomaly occurred without warning!
