"Minato, Kushina's due date is approaching. We need to move her somewhere safe to await the birth."
In the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a grave expression.
Childbirth was extremely dangerous for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The seal would loosen during delivery.
There was a chance the Nine-Tails could break through the seal.
They needed to move her somewhere safe and arrange for the Sealing Squad to reinforce the seal during labor, until the child in her womb was safely delivered.
This would also prevent spies hidden in the village from causing trouble.
Thus, a jinchūriki giving birth was a highly confidential matter.
The fewer people who knew, the better!
"I understand, Lord Third."
Minato Namikaze naturally understood the gravity of the situation.
They were his wife and child, after all.
Nothing could go wrong, no matter what!
The two immediately began making all the arrangements.
A few days later.
Kushina Uzumaki was secretly moved to a delivery room in a hidden cave on the outskirts of Konoha.
During a jinchūriki's labor, the chakra suppressing the Nine-Tails would drain away in large quantities, greatly weakening the seal. Fearing that the Nine-Tails would go berserk and destroy the village, the village's leadership had specifically moved the delivery room outside the village, far from residential areas...
Multiple layers of soundproofing and genjutsu barriers surrounded the cave inside and out, and sealing talismans covered it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had specifically sent his wife, Biwa Lake, to help with the delivery.
Large numbers of Anbu stood guard around the perimeter.
With his pipe between his teeth, Hiruzen Sarutobi surveyed his arrangements and nodded in satisfaction.
With security like this, he believed even a fly would have trouble getting in.
"Minato, don't be nervous."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his shoulder with a kindly smile. "Nothing will go wrong."
