Hearing Iko's words and looking at her heavy expression, Masahiko was stunned for a long time.
"Sick … How could it be so sudden?"
Iko shook her head. "Sensei, Nanako -san has been in poor health for more than half a year. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you. As soon as the news of Kushina's pregnancy was passed to her, she immediately wanted to leave for Konoha, but she almost fell down. "
"Actually, she still insisted on coming, but I asked my clansmen to stop her …"
Masahiko sighed. "You did the right thing. Don't let her come if she's not in good health. It's the same for Kushina."
"Wait for me in the store for a while, I'll go find Kushina." Masahiko strode out, his appearance changed from Yuki to Masahiko.
"It seems that I won't be able to see the birth of the other Roaches." Masahiko was a little regretful.
Arriving at Kushina and Minato's house, a serious old woman appeared in front of Masahiko.
"Elder Masahiko."
Masahiko frowned, and it took a long time for him to react. "You are … Yuan Fei Lake Biwa, right?"
She is the wife of Sandaime Hokage Yuan Fei Hizen, and she is also a Konoha Jonin, but Masahiko doesn't have much interaction with her.
"It's me, Elder Masahiko."
"What are you doing here?"
"Yondaime-sama has a lot of things to do, so he can't accompany Kushina every day. Hizen asked me to take care of her so that Yondaime-sama can rest assured."
"Oh, I see." Masahiko nodded and looked inside the house. It looked very clean.
"Hizen sent his wife to be a nanny. Kushina is only a month pregnant, so there's no need to be so nervous … Is it for me to see?" Masahiko shook his head and muttered in his heart.
As they spoke, Jiuxinnai walked out from the inner room. She held her stomach with both hands, but her stomach didn't bulge at all. It was a very funny sight.
"Great Grandfather, you're here." Jiushinai's face turned red when she saw Masahiko. She put down her hand.
Masahiko wasn't in the mood to tease her. "Kushina, pack your things and follow me back to the Country of Whirlpools. Your grandmother … is sick. "
Jiuxinnai's expression changed. "I understand, Great Grandfather."
She immediately turned around and went back to the house to pack her things. Masahiko looked at Yuan Fei, who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Go and inform Ri Zhan that Jushina and I are returning to the clan."
Masahiko used the word "notice" directly. He didn't want to argue with them at this time.
Lake Biwa hesitated, "I understand, Elder Masahiko."
Watching her leave, Masahiko waited for Kushina to finish packing up before the two of them went to meet up with Iko.
"Don't you want to say goodbye to the Minato?"
Kushinai shook her head and took out a flying thunder god kunai from her pocket.
Masahiko was surprised. "It's so far, can the Minato use a flying thunder god to go back and forth?"
Kushinai took out another one. "I'll leave one more on the way."
Masahiko was speechless. This is called other people's space ninjutsu. Mine … I'm afraid it's fake.
After meeting up with Iko, Masahiko firmly locked the door of the Taobao store. Sara went to the Country of Whirlpools two months ago to open a store. It's estimated that his Taobao store will be closed for three to five years.
After hesitating for a moment, Masahiko took out a piece of paper and wrote: Obito, Rin, Sensei is going to go on a long trip. The next time we meet may be three to five years later. I hope that at that time, you will become independent ninjas.
After folding the paper repeatedly, Masahiko stuck it in the gap of the door.
"Let's go."
…
The Country of Whirlpools.
In Daimyo's palace.
Masahiko saw Nanako lying on the hospital bed.
After carefully examining her physical condition, Masahiko secretly shook his head.
"Natural aging …"
"Great Grandpa, grandmother's body …"
"Kushinai, don't worry. What you need to do now is to take care of yourself." Nanako said. She knew her own situation very well.
"Sensei, I want to talk to you alone."
Masahiko was startled. He drove away the group of people around the bed and sat down beside Nanako's bed.
Nanako also sat up. Although her physical condition wasn't very good, it wasn't to the point where she didn't even have the strength to move.
After a moment of silence, she said: "It's been almost 61 years since I was accepted as your disciple."
"61 years? I can't remember. "Masahiko sighed.
"That's right. In a few days, it will be a full 61 years."
Masahiko was silent for a moment. Nanako continued: "Sensei, the three of us are aging year by year, but you are getting younger year by year. Those who don't know you won't believe that you are my sensei. "
Masahiko smiled. "It doesn't matter if I treat you as my sensei."
Nanako smiled bitterly. After a while, she continued: "Sensei, can I see the birth of Kushinai's child?"
Masahiko hesitated. Nanako sighed. "Is that so? What a pity … "
"I can see it!" Masahiko said decisively. "I will personally take care of you in the days to come. Speaking of which, I haven't served anyone in my life yet … "
Nanako was stunned. She smiled and said: "Then I'll leave it to you, sensei."
…
As the days went by, Nanako aged day by day, and Kushina's belly grew bigger day by day.
Every night, Minato would come to the Land of Whirlpools to take care of Kushinai through the Flying Thunder God. Every morning, he would return to Konoha.
And Masahiko took care of Nanako.
After he fully mastered the Space Ninjutsu, Chakra's control ability has been greatly improved. His current level of Medical Ninjutsu is similar to that of Tsunade.
Relying on this level of Medical Ninjutsu can allow Nanako to survive for a while longer.
But even so, at the end of September, Nanako couldn't move anymore. She could only lie in bed and wait for Kushinai to come to see her.
"Nanako, it's about a month away." Masahiko said in a low voice.
Nanako's old face showed a smile. "Sorry for troubling you, sensei."
…
The day of Kushinai's birth finally arrived. One evening at the end of October.
In Konoha, in addition to Minato, Jiraiya and Tsunade also rushed over. In terms of midwifery, Tsunade the slug princess is more reassuring.
As for Masahiko, it's not convenient to do something like midwifery, and he can't leave right now.
Since yesterday, in order to maintain Nanako's life, he hasn't stopped casting Medical Ninjutsu. Almost half of his Tailed Beast-Class Chakra has been consumed.
"Nanako, listen, it's busy outside, Kushinai is about to give birth."
For the sake of Nanako, Kushinai's delivery room was arranged next to Nanako's room.
"Um …" After a long time, Nanako squeezed out a word.
Masahiko slightly closed his eyes. Naruto is about to be born, but he can't be happy at all. Although he thinks that there may be a chance to resurrect Nanako in the future, he isn't sure when he will have this power or even if he can. For now, it's just a psychological comfort …
"Wah-wah-wah …"
"It's born!"
"It's a boy!"
"Stay alert!"
The baby's cry mixed with the noise of the crowd.
Masahiko looked at Nanako with a smile.
"Listen, the baby is crying …"
