Kakashi arrived at Sora's house with the ingredients that Uzumaki Kushina would use for dinner, but was shocked to find her retching by the pool.
He hurried to Uzumaki Kushina's side and asked with concern, "Master's wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Uzumaki Kushina calmed down for a moment and replied, "It's not that I feel unwell, I just start retching for no reason sometimes. I should be fine."
Kakashi said seriously, "No, Master's wife, let me take you to the ninja hospital."
Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said, "Kakashi, it's okay. I just need to rest."
Kakashi shook his head firmly, "Teacher Sora isn't here, so I need to take care of his wife. Let's go now!"
Uzumaki Kushina clenched her fists and dug them into Kakashi's head, "How dare you try to control me!"
Kakashi felt like his brain was being drilled into pulp.
After releasing him, Uzumaki Kushina smiled softly and rubbed Kakashi's head. "It seems you've really grown up. Alright, Kakashi, please accompany me to the ninja hospital for a check-up."
Kakashi and Uzumaki Kushina went to the ninja hospital together.
When they arrived, they happened to meet Uzumaki Miyuki and Namikaze Minato.
Uzumaki Kushina waved to Uzumaki Miyuki and called out, "Miyuki!"
"It's Kushina!" Uzumaki Miyuki responded with a smile.
Uzumaki Kushina walked up to Uzumaki Miyuki and asked with concern, "Miyuki, are you feeling unwell?"
Uzumaki Miyuki touched her belly and said with a smile, "No, Kushina. I'm going to be a mother soon."
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uzumaki Miyuki in shock. "A mother... that means, Miyuki, are you pregnant?"
Uzumaki Miyuki couldn't stop smiling, "Yes, it's been two months now."
Uzumaki Kushina saw Uzumaki Miyuki's motherly smile and felt envious. "Wow, congratulations, Miyuki."
"Thank you. By the way, Kushina, why are you coming to the hospital?" Uzumaki Miyuki asked.
Uzumaki Kushina explained, "I've been retching for no reason lately, so Kakashi accompanied me to the ninja hospital for a checkup."
Uzumaki Miyuki and Namikaze Minato exchanged glances and looked at Uzumaki Kushina with knowing expressions.
Uzumaki Miyuki asked with a subtle smile, "Kushina, when did you start retching?"
Uzumaki Kushina thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it started not long after Sora left."
Uzumaki Miyuki then asked, "Do you have a loss of appetite? Feeling tired? Dislike greasy food? Suddenly craving sour things?"
Uzumaki Kushina was surprised, "Hey, Miyuki, how did you know all that?"
Uzumaki Miyuki showed a mysterious smile, "Let the doctor tell you."
Uzumaki Kushina was confused.
Uzumaki Miyuki did not explain further, but said goodbye, "Kushina, I'll come visit you tomorrow. We should go now."
Namikaze Minato said gently to Uzumaki Kushina, "Congratulations."
Uzumaki Kushina watched Uzumaki Miyuki and Namikaze Minato leave, her mind in disarray. She muttered, "What's going on?"
Kakashi lowered his head slightly and frowned.
The conversation between Uzumaki Miyuki and Uzumaki Kushina seemed to reveal a lot about Uzumaki Kushina's condition.
Namikaze Minato's "congratulations," plus Uzumaki Miyuki's pregnancy...
Kakashi looked up at Uzumaki Kushina in disbelief.
Uzumaki Kushina was confused at first, but when she noticed Kakashi's expression, she suddenly felt annoyed. "What's with that look, Kakashi? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"
Kakashi said hurriedly, "Master's wife, let's go get you checked quickly."
Uzumaki Kushina and Kakashi entered the ninja hospital.
As they walked, Uzumaki Kushina murmured, "Miyuki is pregnant. What's Sora been up to? We need to have a serious talk with him when he gets back!"
Kakashi, walking behind Uzumaki Kushina, pursed his lips after hearing this. If his suspicions were correct, there would be no need for any conversation.
Soon, Uzumaki Kushina completed her examination.
She stared at the paper in her hand with confusion. She confirmed with the doctor for the seventh time, "Is this true? Am I really pregnant?"
The doctor, who had already answered several times, said helplessly, "Yes, it's true. It's been more than a month. Please stop asking—there are other patients waiting for me."
Just as Uzumaki Kushina was about to ask for the eighth time, Kakashi stopped her and said, "Master's wife, let's go home first."
"Huh? Oh."
Uzumaki Kushina's mind was in complete chaos, and she barely noticed how they got home.
On the way back, Kakashi was tense and alert, watching their surroundings carefully. If anyone without proper business was watching them, he would deal with them immediately!
Fortunately, the journey home was safe.
After arriving home, Uzumaki Kushina sat on the sofa holding the pregnancy slip, lost in her thoughts.
"Hey, Sora will be so surprised when he finds out. Oh, since I'm pregnant now, I can't eat just anything anymore. By the way, Miyuki will visit me tomorrow. I should ask her what's good to eat during pregnancy."
Kakashi looked helplessly at the dazed Uzumaki Kushina. He had called her name several times, but she couldn't hear anything at all.
Kakashi finally shouted, "Master's wife!"
Uzumaki Kushina finally snapped back to reality. "Ah, Kakashi, you're still here. Guess what, Kakashi? I'm pregnant, hehe."
Kakashi's face darkened.
Could he leave now?
Wasn't he the one who had accompanied Uzumaki Kushina to the ninja hospital in the first place?
Kakashi said to Uzumaki Kushina, "Master's wife, please rest here for a while. I'll go find Lord Orochimaru."
After taking just a few steps, Kakashi, genuinely worried, created a Shadow Clone to guard the door.
After leaving Sora's house, Kakashi went straight to Orochimaru's base.
Kakashi arrived smoothly and found Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Kakashi. "What's wrong, Kakashi? Is there a problem with the Konoha Defense Force?"
Kakashi shook his head and said, "No, Master's wife just found out that she's pregnant, so I would like to ask you to perform a detailed examination for her."
"Kushina? I understand. Let me prepare and go right away."
Orochimaru quickly gathered some instruments and followed Kakashi out of the base.
After arriving at Sora's house, Uzumaki Kushina saw Orochimaru and said in surprise, "Lord Orochimaru, why are you here?"
Kakashi said helplessly, "Master's wife, didn't I tell you before I left? I went to find Lord Orochimaru."
Uzumaki Kushina thought for a moment. "Did you? I don't remember."
Kakashi suddenly felt helpless. Was forgetfulness a symptom of pregnancy?
Orochimaru put down the instruments in his hand and said, "Alright, listen to Kakashi, Kushina. You're pregnant. Now let me check your condition."
