"I see..." - Kushina nodded calmly as she watched the nurse smiled at her baby.
Tina wasn't lying when she said she wasn't worried about Naruto's features because there were a variety of clans in the Elemental Nations with different appearances - "What's his name?"
"Naruto... Uzumaki Naruto... heir to the ancient Uzumaki clan and the prince of Uzu no Kuni" - smiled Kushina as she gave all the titles to her baby - "And my greatest treasure"
Tina smiled as she saw all the love that the mother was showing for her son, although she quickly remembered one detail - "I'm sorry, Kushina-sama, but I have to take Naruto-chan to get the necessary tests and don't worry, I will make sure that nothing happens to him".
"Thank you very much," Kushina nodded, though she was still worried. Still, she breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her baby's foxy features disappear, perhaps as a sense of self-preservation or instinct.
"That makes things easier, but I'm still going to make sure nothing bad happens," Tina said seriously as she left with the baby who now seemed to have fallen asleep.
"She doesn't look like a bad girl, neither do the other nurses," nodded the redheaded woman as she closed her eyes. No matter how much vitality the Uzumaki had, it did not change the fact that she had gone through labor and her energies were at a low ebb - "Better... sleep a little..."

It had been eight hours since Kurama had gone to Mikoto's room to be there when she gave birth to the little Uzumaki princess that finally come into the world, after many insults and death threats.
"Abu?" - The little newborn girl had already opened her eyes and was looking closely at her father. It was obvious that she could not focus well on his features, but unlike her older brother Naruto, she seemed to have an innate affinity for chakra detection - "Bu bu ga?"
"It seems that the little girl is not only in perfect condition, but she will also be a daddy's girl" - said Tsunade sarcastically as she saw how the little girl seemed to be following the redhead with her eyes.
"She is beautiful..." - said Kurama with a smile as he watched the little girl release her foxy features almost immediately when he felt he was close.
"Ga ga~?" - The little girl slowly extended her arms, but quickly returned them to their original position because despite being a Semi-Bijuu, she was still a newborn.
"Normally the mother is the first person to take the baby... but it seems that the little one wants you to be the first one to take it" - said Tsunade while Mikoto was feeling bad. It was as if she had done all the work and Kurama took all the credit.
"No... Miko-chan will be the first to take her" - said Kurama noticing how Mikoto seemed to be throwing a tantrum - "Izumi-chan is special to her..."
Mikoto gave her a smile as Tsunade let out a gentle laugh - "Okay, here's your baby, Mikoto"
"Come to mommy, my little princess," said Mikoto as she took care of her baby, who, despite everything, continued to watch her father.
Kurama approached his wife and daughter and kissed the woman on the forehead while looking lovingly at the little newborn girl.
The little girl slowly opened her mouth, then closed it quickly, as if she were asking for something.
"Looks like someone is hungry," Mikoto said with a small smile as he watched his daughter's action, so she slowly released one of her breasts and began to breastfeed her.
"Izumi Uzumaki..." - Mikoto muttered as he watched the little girl lovingly. She had black hair like her mother but with some red locks like an Uzumaki, her eyes were black like all Uchiha descendants, so it was quite likely that she would end up getting the Sharingan.
"Sorry for the intrusion," said Tina as she watched the little girl with black hair.
"Did something happen, Tina-san?" - Tsunade asked curiously.
"Two things, Tsunade-sama" - said Tina calmly - "First, Jiraiya-sama came to the hospital and asked to speak to Kurama-sama, and second, Naruto-chan has already received all his exams and is now with Kushina-sama".
Kurama frowned when he heard that Ero Sennin was looking for him but after a while decided to go see him. If he had come to find him despite the birth situation of Kushina and Mikoto, it meant that it was a serious matter.
"Ok... I will take care of Izumi-chan, you can go, Tina-san, you have done a good job" - smiled blond Senju but her expression melted when she saw how the baby was sleeping peacefully.
"Go, Kurama-kun... Jiraiya is looking for you" - said Mikoto with a smile as she observed her baby girl sleeping.
"I'm sorry..." - mumbled the redhead.
"You don't have to apologize, Kurama-kun..." - said Mikoto calmly.
"Tsunade-chan... how long will they need to recover?" - asked Kurama with concern.
"Normally it's six weeks, but with the vitality they have and the medical advances, they will only need three weeks to return to their optimum state, two in the case of Kushina because of her Uzumaki vitality," Tsunade replied calmly.
"Ok," the redheaded man nodded as he took one last look at Mikoto.
"Go... We'll be fine," Mikoto smiled as she nodded weakly so as not to disturb her newborn baby.

"Jiraiya..." - said Kurama when he saw the Sannin in front of him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your family time with the babies, but we need to talk about something serious" - said Jiraiya seriously while he looked around - "But it's better if it's somewhere else because this is a serious matter"
". . ." - Kurama stared at him for a few seconds and then followed the Sennin of Mt. Myoboku to another location.
"Tell me Kurama... have you felt anything strange in Konoha?" - Jiraiya asked as he walked past the redhead - "As if someone were calling you?"
"You mean, the blood resonance?" - asked Kurama in confusion because he had had this discomfort since he had returned from his trip to Mount - "Yes ... but I can't identify the reason"
"I see..." - murmured Jiraiya as he continued walking.
"From your words, it is obvious that you know the reason for all this," said Kurama seriously.
"Of course I know, I've known it for months" - answered Jiraiya - "But things are not so simple"
". . ." - Kurama frowned when he heard this because he still could not understand what was happening.
"Let's continue, I'll tell you when we get to a safer place to talk" - ended the Sannin as the two left the hospital.

"We hear that Kushina-sama is in labor at the moment" - said Mika as she looked at her twin sister.
"And according to Tina-chan's message, Mikoto-sama went into premature labor, but it was no problem because her baby developed much faster than expected" - added Rika as she looked around - "What do you plan to do?"
"I don't know..." - Hikari murmured with sorrow - "I think I'd better leave Konoha, as far away as possible..."
"Do you want that?!" - exclaimed Mika with surprise as her twin sister looked at her friend in discomfort - "Hikari..."
"I have thought enough" - answered Hikari with regret - "I can't do it... I can't just walk in front of them and demand from them when all this was an accident"
"I won't let you say that!" - Rika exclaimed angrily - "How can you say something like that?!"
"I know!" - exclaimed Hikari in tears - "But... I don't know what to do..."
"You have to talk to him" - answered Mika.
"I agree with my sister, you have to talk to Kurama-sama about this, after all, he is responsible for your current situation" - added Rika when she saw her friend's stomach that showed that she was a few months pregnant - "Kurama-sama has the right to know and he will"
"What do you mean?!" - exclaimed Hikari in surprise. She didn't want to talk about it with Kurama because she was afraid of his reaction.
Ever since he found out she was pregnant, he was asking himself a thousand and one questions.
"Jiraiya-sama is talking to Kurama-sama right now" - said Rika as her sister nodded.
"Why are they doing this?!" - Hikari exclaimed in terror.
" Because you need it..." - said Mika.
"You can't do this alone, Hikari-chan" - added Rika.
". . ." - Hikari tried to refuse her words but she knew they were telling the truth. She was the one who didn't want to risk it because she had honestly only had relations with Kurama once and the feelings between the two were almost non-existent - "But. . ."
"Don't think about depressing things, much less when they don't happen yet" - said the two twins at the same time as they nodded.
"Ok... I'll try..." - sighed the orange-haired pregnant woman. She was terrified because she knew that soon Kurama would appear in front of her house, and as if someone heard her thoughts, someone started knocking on her door.
"It's me, Jiraiya..." - said the Sannin from outside, and from his voice, you could tell that he was in pain.
"What has happened to Jiraiya-sama?" - asked the twins as they opened the door, noticing how Kurama was bringing a wounded Sannin.
"It's because this idiot didn't tell me something as important as the fact that I' d have another child..." - Kurama said with annoyance but quickly calmed down because he noticed the fear the girls were transmitting.
