Shindai's research had yielded results, but the only drawback was that Shindai's own Chakra reserves were insufficient for him to use the Supernova Rinnegan; he needed the assistance of Uchiha Hikari.
What made Shindai heave a sigh of relief was that he didn't need to pay for damages.
Because this underground research base was already slated for demolition.
If he had to pay for damages, even selling Shindai's underwear wouldn't be enough to cover it.
Minato Namikaze was a bit disappointed to hear that Shindai had already chosen a name. After giving Shindai a few instructions, he let Shindai, Uchiha Hikari, and the members of the Military Police Force return first.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe, looked at the scene caused by Shindai's Supernova Rinnegan in the distance, and sighed, "The power is truly impressive. But Minato, it's time to confirm with her. I think she will join Konoha now, right?"
Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Yes, I am quite confident. When Kushina gives birth, we will officially confirm it with Ashita Natsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "By the way, have you told Kushina about that matter?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head, "Not yet."
"Then after you get off work, Sarutobi Biwako and I will accompany you to explain it to Kushina."
Minato Namikaze agreed.
...
Now that the underground research base was destroyed, Shindai couldn't continue his research. Since it was still early, Shindai and Uchiha Hikari prepared to go find Pakura, then wait for her to get off work so they could go home together.
Shindai asked worriedly, "Hey, Ashita Natsu, is your eye okay after using the Mangekyo like that just now? Will it affect your vision?"
Uchiha Hikari replied, "It won't."
"That's good... But doesn't using the Mangekyo Sharingan's pupil techniques always affect one's vision?" Shindai asked doubtfully.
Uchiha Hikari explained, "Because of the special nature of the Eight Thousand Spears, the burden of the Eight Thousand Spears itself on me is not heavy. As I mentioned before, the Eight Thousand Spears can use seals to transfer the Chakra of the person with the seal to myself or others regardless of distance, so this Chakra can also strengthen my pupil techniques and reduce the side effects of using them. However, if I use pupil techniques too frequently, my vision will still be damaged, but a person capable of forcing me to that extent has not appeared yet."
Shindai laughed cheekily, "Whoa, you're so arrogant~ But I like it! In that case, when I don't have enough Chakra in the future, if you transfer some of your Chakra to me, wouldn't I have a mobile power bank?"
Uchiha Hikari sneered, "You should go to sleep now; you can have anything in your dreams."
Shindai shamelessly leaned in, "Don't be so stingy. We're close!"
Uchiha Hikari pushed Shindai's face away, "Who is close? Am I even familiar with you?"
Shindai strained his neck, not letting Uchiha Hikari push his face away, "Don't say things that undermine our unity. We wear the same pants!"
Uchiha Hikari said with disdain, "Wear the same pants? I think it's wearing the same skirt, right? Do you think I don't know that you sneakily wore my and Pakura's skirts?"
Shindai froze instantly, "You, how did you know?"
Shindai didn't have any special fetish; he was just purely curious. Since Uchiha Hikari and Pakura liked wearing skirts so much, he suddenly wanted to see what he looked like in a skirt.
Shindai could swear he only snuck and wore them once... or twice. Well, every time Pakura and Uchiha Hikari bought new skirts, he tried them on, and it felt just like that.
Uchiha Hikari sneered, "How could I not know? Pakura knows too, it's just that she felt it was too embarrassing and was too shy to say it. Since you like to say we wear the same pants so much, I'll tell everyone about you wearing skirts!"
Shindai panicked immediately, "No! You can't do that. If you do that, I'll lose all face!"
Uchiha Hikari looked at Shindai's face carefully, "Face? Do you have a face? All I see is an incredibly thick layer of skin!"
Shindai begged Uchiha Hikari to keep it a secret all the way back.
However, Uchiha Hikari didn't actually intend to tell anyone. First, it was indeed too embarrassing to talk about, and second, she could use this matter to keep Shindai in check, so this guy wouldn't annoy her and Pakura every day.
...
At this time, at Minato Namikaze's home.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Sarutobi Biwako sat on chairs, and Minato Namikaze helped Kushina to her seat.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Kushina, "Kushina, you are due to give birth in about two months. There are some things I must inform you of. Lord Mito was the same; the seal almost broke during childbirth. To be safe, I am very sorry, but you will have to give birth within a barrier a bit further away from the Village."
Minato Namikaze smiled and comforted Kushina, "No need to worry. Since it involves the seal, I will be by your side when you give birth."
Hearing that Minato Namikaze would be with her, Kushina stopped worrying instantly and smiled at Minato Namikaze.
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "At that time, Minato, Taji from the Anbu, and my wife, Sarutobi Biwako, will be by your side. This must all be done in secret. Of course, the Anbu and the Hokage Guard Platoon will also be responsible for protection."
Sarutobi Biwako said seriously to Kushina, "When the day of the birth approaches, I will take you there."
Kushina nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Three days later.
Because the underground laboratory was destroyed, Shindai wanted to rest for a few days and, by the way, complete the orders that needed to be done, so he stayed in the studio at the shop to make puppets.
At this moment, a person was standing at the shop entrance, staring dumbfounded at the huge poster on the door.
"This, this, this... what is this!"
That's right, this person was Jiraiya.
Hearing that Kushina was about to give birth, Jiraiya returned to Konoha to take a look.
After seeing Minato Namikaze at the Hokage Building and hearing that Shindai's shop was already open, Jiraiya came to take a look.
No wonder Minato Namikaze told Jiraiya to prepare himself mentally when he left.
If he hadn't prepared himself mentally, Jiraiya would have passed out on the spot.
Jiraiya walked unsteadily, with his hands and feet moving on the same side, into the shop.
Uchiha Hikari looked up at Jiraiya, then immediately looked away.
A lecherous middle-aged man who seemed a bit familiar.
When Yakushi Kabuto saw Jiraiya, he immediately went up to greet him, "Lord Jiraiya, you're back."
Uchiha Hikari looked back over again.
So he was Jiraiya. No wonder he looked so familiar; he was the protagonist of the poster Shindai put on the door.
A super lecherous middle-aged man, judgment complete.
Jiraiya asked in a strained voice, "The poster at the door... what is going on?"
Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head. What could be going on? It's just using you as a promotional tool.
Yakushi Kabuto feigned ignorance, "Ah, this... I don't know. Lord Jiraiya, you can go into that studio and ask Big Brother Shindai."
Yakushi Kabuto decisively sold Shindai out, mainly because he couldn't take the blame himself.
Jiraiya walked heavily towards the studio.
