"You know that's impossible, Kushina."
Uchiha Yoichi lifted Kushina up, and seeing her dazed and unresisting, placed her on his lap and continued, "Give birth, and when the time comes, hand the child over to me."
"No, I can't. Minato would be devastated. I'm not a qualified wife..."
As Kushina spoke, tears silently streamed down her face.
"No one will know when Namikaze Minato is resurrected; it'll be as if nothing happened. I'll tell Minami that the child is mine from outside; they will only blame me, while you return to a normal family life..."
Uchiha Yoichi slowly comforted her, though this was merely his temporary plan.
For Kushina, the child was another sunk cost after her innocence. Once the child was born, she would be unable to sever ties with Uchiha Yoichi completely.
"Besides, you don't know Medical Ninjutsu and can't find a ninja to terminate the pregnancy. Are you going to seek out Minami or Tsunade?"
Hearing this, Kushina instinctively shook her head; she absolutely wouldn't let others know she was pregnant.
"No, I shouldn't do this to Minato..."
"He won't know, Kushina. As long as you don't say it, Namikaze Minato will never know."
Uchiha Yoichi grasped Kushina's hand, persuading her once more, "Think carefully, Kushina; this is the best plan."
Kushina fell silent after hearing this and didn't speak for a long time.
Having gone through the frantic chaos and anger, she was finally able to calmly think; terminating the pregnancy was indeed challenging, and within the Ninja World, few would do such a thing.
Moreover, as Kushina subconsciously touched her abdomen, she felt reluctant, not wanting to extinguish a life before it began.
Thinking it through, it seemed that giving birth was the only option left.
But after giving birth, should she really follow Uchiha Yoichi's plan? Kushina felt unable to accept the idea of giving her child to Uchiha Yoichi and pretending not to recognize them.
"...I need some time to think, you should leave first."
Kushina couldn't come up with a good solution; all she wanted now was to calmly reflect.
"I originally came for other matters, but ended up with quite the surprise."
Seeing the murderous look in Kushina's eyes, Uchiha Yoichi quickly released her, raising his hand to say, "Alright, on to serious business. The level of danger you face has increased again; it's best to move to the Uchiha Clan Land. I'll find a vacant house near mine or construct a new house for you and Naruto to live."
"I don't want to..."
"You should let me finish, Kushina."
Uchiha Yoichi interrupted Kushina's words and continued, "Yet another enemy has targeted the Nine-tailed. This enemy could be similar to the Six Paths Sage; today, the Second Generation Hokage rushed back to the village to warn me to protect you. This time, the enemy also possesses Space-Time Abilities, and we must arrange a Perception Barrier at your residence..."
No barrier could trap space-time ninjutsu, let alone the more powerful Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Only a Perception Barrier could serve as defense; as soon as powerful Chakra appears, Uchiha Yoichi would immediately use Flying Thunder God Jutsu to return.
"An enemy like the Six Paths Sage?"
When Kushina heard this, disbelief was written all over her face, suspecting that Uchiha Yoichi was merely making excuses to have her move closer.
Uchiha Yoichi sighed, "Tsunade knows too. After the Second Generation Hokage delivered the news, he hurried to the Sate Region because that figure also targeted the First Hokage, seeking powerful Chakra."
"Even if today's events never happened, you'd have to move to the Uchiha Clan Land. After I eliminate the enemy, you can move back; it must be done this way."
Kushina saw Uchiha Yoichi didn't appear to be joking, and given the submissive tendencies she'd developed under Uchiha Yoichi's influence, she coldly agreed, "I'll move for Naruto's sake, don't think I would forgive you!"
"Whatever you say, I'll have Minami and Mikota come to help you this afternoon, but what I said was true, Kushina."
"Who would believe...ugh~"
Kushina's mouth was covered again; feeling the strength with which Uchiha Yoichi held her, she knew she couldn't escape. But she was angry and wouldn't comply.
Nonetheless, with their frequent intimate encounters, Uchiha Yoichi was well aware of Kushina's sensitive spots.
With a thorough caress, he swiftly elicited responses from Kushina, who still furrowed her brows despite closing her eyes, but her cheeks reddened slowly, and her breathing grew hurried.
After a moment
Uchiha Yoichi sensed Kushina had subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist and was becoming proactive, prompting him to withdraw his hands.
"Let's stop here for today; your body isn't suited for that now. Remember to inform Naruto; someone will come to help you move tonight..."
After leaving Kushina's lips, Uchiha Yoichi advised her.
However, Kushina was still somewhat bewildered, her tongue extending outward, and only after two or three seconds did she regain her senses, feeling both shame and anger.
Then, wrestling free from Uchiha Yoichi's embrace and standing, her cheeks flushed as she said, "I know, no need for your reminders!"
