Long Live The Hokage

Kushina’s house.

“Grandpa, what’s the problem? Who’s life in danger?”

Masahiko closed his eyes tightly and didn’t respond.

Kushina and Minato looked at each other, then turned at Jiraiya blankly. Jiraiya spread his hands, indicating that he didn’t know anything…

After a long while, Masahiko opened his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face, “Minato, it must be hard dealing with Kushina’s training all day and night, right?”

Minato was startled and looked at Kushina, “It’s not like that, but I feel that I wasn’t a good training partner.”

Kushina smiled, “Well, Minato helped only during the day, so we can help Naruto with his practice at night.”

Masahiko raised his eyebrows, “Yes, but from now on, you two, lovely couples, should try and rest during the night, so you can receive the reward of your hard work all the other nights.”

“Elder, it won’t be….” Old Jiraiya was the first to react, and his eyes quickly turned to look between Minato and Kushina.

Kushina got irritated since she really didn’t get what he was saying, “Grandpa! What reward are you talking about?”

“Hehehe!” Masahiko smiled, “You two are going to add a younger brother or a sister to Naruto, the trouble maker.”

Minato was startled and looked at Kushina with surprise on his face. Kushina was stunned for a while, then her cheeks gradually reddened, and then she held her belly with both hands happily, “Really?!”

Masahiko nodded, “Although the life fluctuations are very weak, I felt it clearly.”

A fetus, just two or three days old… it’s not even a fetus yet. It’s just an ‘egg’ that has begun to divide. Except for Masahiko, who has an LVMax Yang Release, I’m afraid that no one can sense this minimal life fluctuation.

“I didn’t expect the ancestor’s Sage Mode to have such an effect.” Masahiko shamelessly attributed the credit to himself, “This is really….”

…..

The news of Kushina’s pregnancy hasn’t been spread. After all, it was just a ‘suspect,” and Naruto doesn’t even know yet.

Even though she was over thirty, Kushina’s personality is still like that of a young girl, holding her belly carefully every day, even though it still didn’t get bigger…

Kushina kept coming to Masahiko for seven or eight days straight to check if the still-not-babe is okay. And it wasn’t until a week later that the life fluctuations in Kushina’s stomach got stronger, and Masahiko finally confirmed her pregnancy.

At this time, she could inform a few people who are relatively close. Kushina told her good friend Mikoto the news, and Masahiko went to Tsunade.

Masahiko had to treat this matter with vigilance. The last time when Kushina was giving birth, she reached her weakest point, so letting Tsunade deliver her baby again is the best choice to ensure that everything is safe.

Inside the Legendary Suckers Casino, Masahiko won a few rounds to make up for Legendary Suckers’ bad management and then secretly pulled Tsunade aside.

“Great Grandpa, your gambling skills are as always top-notch.” It was this sentence every time, and Tsunade looked envious every time she said this.

“That’s natural.” Masahiko raised his eyebrows, “I have a business deal with you. Kushina is pregnant.”

Tsunade was startled, “Kushina? When?”

Masahiko pondered for a moment, “Be quiet. About… ten days ago?”

“Ten days…” Tsunade made the math, “That’s March next year! Don’t worry, Great Grandpa, just send Machiyama to me when it’s time, and I will take care of Kushina.”

“Take care of Kushina? What’s wrong with her?” Mito, the cloaked man, walked over after hearing this sentence.”

“She…” Tsunade paused and looked at Masahiko.

Masahiko pondered for a moment, “It’s okay, you can tell Mito and Hashirama, I can’t hide this thing from that bastard anyway, sooner or later he will know, and if I want to hide… huh? Hide?”

Looking up at the sky, Masahiko muttered to himself, “I almost forgot about it… there’s no safer place than the moon.”

………..

The evening.

Masahiko, who had been chatting with Mito and Hashirama for a day, returned to Konoha and went straight to Kushina’s house.

Naruto hasn’t yet arrived home, but Kushina’s house was still quite lively. In addition to Jiraiya, who was eating and drinking at her house, Mikoto was also there, and she was enthusiastically trying to help Kushina pick her second child… a name.

“Isn’t this too early?” Masahiko shook his head and laughed, “You have an entire year.”

Minato shook his head helplessly, Kushina was suffering from her pregnancy syndrome again, and she didn’t trust his naming ability. What could he do?

Well, you can’t blame Kushina. His record so far wasn’t great since it seems that he consumed all of his power on naming his techniques…

“Grandpa, can you tell if it’s a boy or a girl?” Kushina looked happy and expectant.

“Well, it’s going to be one of those traps where the whole world will keep wondering if it’s a boy or a girl.” Masahiko smiled, then shook his head, “I can’t tell, but according to probability, it should be a girl.”

“Probability?” Everyone looked at each other blankly.

Masahiko found a chair and sat down, “Probability is an esoteric subject. I won’t go into details. You only need to know that this child will be a girl.

Naruto is already enough as a trouble maker. After five or six years, and when Naruto is finally a grown-up, who can take care of himself, another troublemaker will come to this world, but at least it will be the female version.

On the other side, Jiraiya and the others have begun to think harder to find a suitable name for a girl.

Masahiko thought for a moment but found nothing. He raised his head and looked at Jiraiya, “Didn’t you write a lot of novels? Isn’t Naruto is the name you picked for one of your heroes?”

Jiraiya replied, “None… is suitable….”

Masahiko was stunned, “Wait… all of your heroes are single dogs, just like you?”

Jiraiya rolled his eyes, “Elder, your novel is good….”

“Ahem!” Masahiko interrupted quickly, “Stop talking about trivial things, just hurry up and think of a name.”

“Grandpa, do you still write novels?” Kushina was slightly curious.

Masahiko said perfunctorily, “Grandpa can do anything. But those novels were written in my early immature years. If you want to read something good, just wait for a few days, and I’ll write one for you.”

Kushina nodded thoughtfully, without delving into it.

“A girl’s name….” After squeezing his brain, Masahiko said, “The little princess of the Uzumaki Clan, she will be born on the moon, shouldn’t it have the word “moon” in her name…?”

“Tsuki… Tsuki? What the hell…”(T/N: Tsuki: can means both moon and month.)

“Namikaze… Suigetsu? No, we already have that name, and it’s a boy… a trap? Not now, not now, focus!”(T/N: Suigetsu: means water moon.)

“Kushina… Natsuki? This isn’t bad.”(T/N: Natsuki: means hope, princess, moon.)
