"Where is Nawaki now?" Hyuga Akira asked.
Minato Namikaze looked out at the dusky sky. "He probably went home."
After all, things weren't all that busy.
"Nawaki really has it easy as Hokage," Hyuga Akira couldn't help remarking.
In the original timeline, apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hashirama Senju, which Hokage hadn't been run off their feet?
Tobirama Senju had monopolized power, holding all of Konoha in his hands.
The later Hokage-Tsunade, Kakashi, and Naruto Uzumaki-had all been too busy to even go home.
Now, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, and Orochimaru helped Nawaki handle much of his paperwork, and the F4 hardly dared cause trouble anymore.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had been frightened by Hyuga Akira last time and no longer dared pull any tricks, making things even easier for Nawaki.
"Then I'll go straight to him." Hyuga Akira nodded and walked out the door.
Minato Namikaze looked at the documents in his arms, intending to take them home to sort through.
He followed Hyuga Akira downstairs.
"Kushina is pregnant now, isn't she?" Hyuga Akira asked, seemingly casually.
Minato Namikaze noticed nothing unusual and smiled happily. "Yes. If it's a boy, I plan to call him Naruto. If it's a girl, Naruko."
"Strong Will: Shinobi Resilience." Hyuga Akira thought of the book Jiraiya had written. It was quite popular among shinobi.
"Yes, the protagonist of that book." Minato Namikaze rubbed his nose. "Kushina wasn't happy with any of the other names, either."
Hyuga Akira rolled his eyes. Who would dare use the names Minato Namikaze came up with? They were all ridiculously elaborate.
"But be careful. When a Jinchūriki gives birth, the seal is at its most unstable," Hyuga Akira reminded him.
"I'll be careful." Minato Namikaze nodded solemnly.
Hyuga Akira and Minato Namikaze parted ways with Minato Namikaze at
