"Kushina really is pregnant!"
Guy looked rather wistful.
He had indeed been the one to ask Kushina and Minato Namikaze what they would do if they wanted a second child someday.
Wouldn't they have to face the risks of a Jinchuriki giving birth all over again?
That was what had finally convinced Kushina and Minato Namikaze to remove the Nine-Tails and seal him inside Naruto.

Soon, his features had taken on a completely different appearance, with firmer, more rugged contours.
"Well? Can you still tell who I am?"
Obito froze. He hadn't
