"Then I will bestow upon you the symbol of your submission to me."
Qing Siming Er got up and then planted the "Seed of Immortal Curse" for her.
On her fair belly, the two black characters "Qing Si" appeared.
This is the pattern of the "Spell Seed".
Er felt an extreme pain.
But she was used to enduring the pain, and her expression did not change at all, except that some sweat seeped out of her forehead.
After everything was over, Er felt that his power had increased.
If she were to use this power to employ the "Oni-Garuru Technique," it would likely be extremely powerful.
At the same time, she adopted an even more fervent and humble attitude.
"Woooooooo..."
Crane Wing Snowflake watched this scene in horror from the corner.
She was also chained and subjected to the same torture as Er.
With Ni as a test subject for reference, Kiyoshi's methods became increasingly precise.
"The Island of Spirits is now in your management."
Kiyoshi looked at the two he had raised and nodded in satisfaction.
The "Sage Spell Seed," a combination of "Sage Technique" and curse seal, while not as powerful as the original owner, is still sufficient to amplify the power of rogue or wandering ninjas who covet the Summoning Island.
As for the Sea Kingdom, they are not yet confident in challenging the Fire Kingdom.
Their actions had a completely different effect from those of rogue ninjas who acted out of greed.
"Yes, Lord Seiji."
Er suppressed the fervor in his voice.
“She has already atoned for her sins. You killed the Daimyo of the Snow Country, so you must continue to atone for your sins.”
Kiyoshi looked at the crane-winged snow in the corner.
Without the Snow Village ninjas aiding and abetting the evildoer Fuuka Nutō, the Daimyo of the Land of Snow wouldn't have died in internal strife.
The wind, flowers, raging waves, and turbulent waves do not possess such power.
"Woooo..."
Crane Wing Snow wanted to say something, but with her mouth stuffed with a silk ribbon, she couldn't say anything.
……
For many people who have worked hard all day, evening is just the beginning of enjoying life.
Kushina touched her stomach and looked up out the window.
During the time she spent with Kiyoshi in the Land of Snow, she... became pregnant.
It's an experience that's both exciting and terrifying.
She longed for the birth of a new life, yet feared she wouldn't be able to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.
She lived through war when she was very young, and her family members had long since died.
In the end, she was the only descendant of the Uzumaki clan to come to Konoha, where she lived with the elderly Mito Uzumaki.
"Naruto... is a good name."
Kushina thought to herself.
Because this was taken by Qing Si.
The only downside is that it shares the same name as the protagonist in the manga by Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze's teacher.
It's called something like "The Story of Strong Willpower and Perseverance".
Jiraiya had published adult books like "Make-Out Paradise," which made Kushina have a bad impression of him.
Jiraiya, in particular, had a penchant for spying on women's bathhouses, even though security at the bathhouses had improved considerably in recent years.
But Kushina still wouldn't go to public bathhouses to wash up; the thought of it made her uncomfortable.
She didn't quite understand why Minato Namikaze admired his teacher so much and considered Jiraiya a great ninja with ninja talent.
"Kushina."
While Kushina was lost in thought, she heard someone calling her name.
Looking down, I saw a smiling young man standing below the window.
It was none other than Minato Namikaze.
"Minato, what brings you here?"
Kushina asked a question.
"I've finished dealing with the root matters."
Namikaze Minato spoke.
In order to meet Kushina, he spent most of his day dealing with government affairs, and finally finished up most of the government affairs for this period of time.
"I bought two tickets, do you want to go see a movie?"
Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina, whose head was peeking out of the window, her red hair falling onto the window frame.
Kushina's lively and adorable face is absolutely captivating.
"This... let's just forget it."
Kushina touched her stomach.
Naruto is due to give birth in a few months, so it's inconvenient for her to go out right now.
"Not available?"
Minato Namikaze's hand, which was waving the movie ticket, froze for a moment.
He always felt that Kushina, who had returned from the Land of Snow, had become much more distant from him.
Minato Namikaze can only attribute this to his neglect of Kushina.
The root department's administrative affairs were actually not many; what they did most of was that he also took on the administrative affairs of the Qing Si (a government agency).
Kiyoshi was like a hands-off manager, not caring about anything except the most crucial issues.
In terms of status, Minato Namikaze, as the leader of Root, was definitely below the Hokage.
He was considered a subordinate of the Qing Dynasty, but he could only be a miserable worker, handling a large amount of government affairs.
"What a coincidence."
Mikoto, with her pregnant belly, saw Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
"Let's talk."
Minato Namikaze gave a bitter smile.
Since Kushina didn't want to go out and see, there was nothing he could do.
After seeing Minato Namikaze leave, Mikoto knocked on the door.
Shortly after, Kushina came to open the door.
Both of them were heavily pregnant.
The difference is that Mikoto is about to give birth, while Kushina is a little later.
"you……"
As someone who's been through it all, Mikoto also noticed that something was wrong with Kushina's stomach.
Mikoto didn't notice when she wasn't pregnant, but now it's quite obvious.
"The child's father is..."
"It's not convenient to say."
Kushina said.
"...Is that so?"
Mikoto had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart.
If I remember correctly, Kiyoshi went to the Land of Snow with Kushina a few months ago to carry out a mission.
Will something happen between them?
Thinking of this, a hint of crimson flashed in Mikoto's eyes.
The Sharingan almost uncontrollably manifested.
"Mikoto?"
Kushina called out, which brought Mikoto back to reality.
She forced a smile and said:
"It's been a long time since I've visited you, so I wanted to chat with you today."
Relationships between people require constant interaction and communication.
Feelings tend to fade over time if there is no contact for a long period of time.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've chatted with you."
Kushina smiled.
She naturally noticed Mikoto's large pregnant belly.
The two best friends tacitly refrained from digging deeper into the matter.
What do you want to name your child after birth?
Kushina asked.
"Sasuke Uchiha."
Mikoto replied.
"Sasuke, not a bad name."
Kushina nodded.
It's unclear whether Sasuke's father was a member of the Uchiha clan or if the child took Mikoto's surname.
"And yours?"
Mikoto asked Kushina the same question.
"His name is... Naruto."
Kushina returned.
She was wondering whether to name the child in her womb Naruto Uzumaki or Naruto Uchiha.
"Good to hear."
Mikoto nodded with a smile.
"Maybe the children we have will become good friends in the future."
Mikoto parted her red lips slightly and said.
"That's exactly what I hope for too."
Kushina waved her little fists with great energy.
The two women began to chat and laugh.
……
The itachi, having finished his training, has yet to see his mother.
He ate a little something and then heard a knock on the door.
When he went over to check, he saw a man with a dignified appearance.
