"Yuzuru, I... I think I'm pregnant..."
During lunch, Karura suddenly spoke with some nervousness.
Uchiha Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Did you go to the hospital?"
Karura nodded, "I went this morning."
Uchiha Yuzuru pulled Karura into his arms, stroked her belly, and laughed, "That's wonderful! Kushina... have you gotten checked?"
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina's expression was a little dejected, "Yuzuru, my belly doesn't seem to have had any movement."
"It's okay, if anything, I'll just try harder."
Uchiha Yuzuru gently comforted Uzumaki Kushina.
When it comes to pregnancy, if you don't want to get pregnant, the chances are super high.
But when you seriously prepare for it, it's often difficult to achieve your wish.
So, for this kind of thing, the most important thing is to maintain a calm mindset.
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina slapped the table and said loudly, "Aren't you going to the Land of Rain in a few days?"
"Before that, you're not allowed to go anywhere else."
Seeing Uzumaki Kushina's domineering declaration, Uchiha Yuzuru immediately straightened up, "Mission accomplished!"
——
——
It took Uchiha Yuzuru a week to walk from the room door to the courtyard gate.
And it took Uchiha Yuzuru less than half a day to travel from Hidden Cloud Village to the Land of Rain.
When he was looking for the temporary Uchiha Clan compound in Konoha Village, he had left spatial markers all over the borders of the Land of Fire.
And now, with his Uzumaki Immortal body, he no longer had to worry about his Mangekyo Sharingan going blind, so Uchiha Yuzuru directly used Kamui to travel.
The Land of Rain was desolate, with ruins everywhere.
Besides dense weeds, there was almost no other vegetation.
Bones littered the ground, and corpses lay everywhere.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a drizzling rain kept falling, as if wanting to thoroughly wash clean this dark red land.
Uchiha Yuzuru walked on the road, with a few wild dogs following him at a distance.
From the drool flowing from the corners of those wild dogs' mouths, Uchiha Yuzuru saw the greed deep within them.
"The sorrow of the weak..."
Uchiha Yuzuru threw a few shuriken, eliminating all the wild dogs following him; he really disliked the feeling of being treated as prey.
After walking for half a day, Uchiha Yuzuru arrived at a dilapidated Village.
There was no sign of life in the Village, and it was gloomy everywhere, looking very oppressive.
Just then, Uchiha Yuzuru heard a faint sob.
He walked closer and found a baby crying beside a woman's corpse.
The baby had been crying for who knows how long; its voice sounded so hoarse and weak.
Uchiha Yuzuru walked over, and after confirming there was no danger, he gently picked up the baby.
The baby's swaddling clothes were already soaked, with only a card left on them. The content on the card was simple, with only three words written.
"Hydrangea..."
Seeing the name on the card, a cute loli image appeared in Uchiha Yuzuru's mind.
In the original story, Hydrangea was a Ninja from Hidden Rain Village, fiercely loyal to Konan.
After showing talent in Summoning Technique and space-time Ninjutsu, she was sent to execute an S-rank mission.
After her death, she was made into the "Animal Path" of the Six Paths of Pain.
Although her role was not extensive, her sweet appearance still left a deep impression on Uchiha Yuzuru.
He didn't expect to encounter her here.
After thinking for a while, Uchiha Yuzuru took out a military ration pill from his Pregnant, crushed it into powder, and mixed it with rainwater to feed Hydrangea.
Before long, Hydrangea fell into a deep sleep.
Uchiha Yuzuru held Hydrangea in his arms and continued to walk forward.
After only two steps, Uchiha Yuzuru stopped, "Come out."
When his voice fell, the surroundings remained silent.
Uchiha Yuzuru threw a shuriken at the nearby wall, and three Ninja wearing Hidden Rain Village headbands emerged.
Seeing their appearance, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Yahiko, Nagato, Konan... his luck today was really good.
"Excuse me... are you Uchiha Yuzuru?"
Yahiko asked politely.
A smile always hung on his face, giving people a sense of approachability.
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded, "You know me?"
"We've seen your portrait before," Yahiko explained, then suddenly said, "I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?"
"Ask Hidden Cloud Village to withdraw its troops from the Land of Rain," Yahiko said in a deep voice, "You must have seen the situation in the Land of Rain. They should have been living happy lives, but war destroyed everything."
"Please don't make the same mistake again. War is not the only way to solve problems. If there are any conflicts, we can sit down and communicate honestly."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "Why do you come to me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Yahiko smiled, pointed at Hydrangea in Uchiha Yuzuru's arms, "We saw your gentle side, so we believe you wouldn't do such a thing."
"When you see this baby, don't you feel any guilt?"
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head, "Not at all, because to achieve a more beautiful wish, one must endure the sacrifices in front of them."
Yahiko retorted, "If your wish is truly beautiful enough, as long as you say it, everyone will surely understand each other."
Uchiha Yuzuru became a little interested in the conversation and continued, "Why do you think people can understand each other?"
"Because that's how we Akatsuki members are," Yahiko said firmly, "From the initial three people, we now have dozens of companions."
"As long as we are honest with each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
"One last question," Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Nagato and Konan, who were silent behind Yahiko, and said indifferently, "What status do you have to negotiate with me?"
"If I remember correctly, the leader of Hidden Rain Village should be Hanzou, the Salamander. Wouldn't he be angry about your actions?"
Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then said as a matter of course, "We are also supporters of Lord Hanzou, and everything we do is for Hidden Rain Village. We believe Lord Hanzou will understand us."
"Hmph..." Uchiha Yuzuru sneered, turned, and continued to walk forward, "Being too naive will come at a price. My eyes have already seen your future."
"When you are at your wit's end, come find me in Hidden Cloud Village."
"Oh, and..." Uchiha Yuzuru paused, "Hidden Cloud Village will withdraw its troops from the Land of Rain in the next few days. I can't help you with anything else."
After Uchiha Yuzuru finished speaking, he waved his hand without looking back.
Anyway, Hidden Cloud Village's withdrawal was already decided in advance, and Uchiha Yuzuru didn't mind taking the opportunity to boost his favorability with the three of them.
