The God Of Shinobi
Chapter 71 The Book of Jiraiya
Ten months have passed since Yahiko, Konan and Nagato came under Hanzo's watch. Already during that time Naruto also oversaw the movements of the Amegakure leader.
Yahiko's death was the reason for the formation of the new Akatsuki. I must not let my guard down, Naruto said inwardly.
Nagato just smiled looking at Yahiko and Konan who were fighting as usual. He turned his head and saw Naruto looking at the sky, making him approach the yellow-haired boy.
‘’Your face looks very anxious. Are you thinking of something?’’ ask Nagato.
‘’Aa, I only miss the people in my village,’’ replied Naruto.
Hearing Naruto's reply made Nagato recall both his parents, so he missed them too.
‘’Today on 10 October, right?’’ ask Naruto.
‘’True. What's wrong?’’ ask Nagato.

Minato & Kushina Residence
‘’Oh, are you reading My Story of a Brave Ninja? But, this is my first published work. The sentence is childish and I did not do a good job,’’ Jiraiya said.
‘’No. I don't think so. This story is very good,’’ Minato said.
Jiraiya smiled with her stupid face. ‘’Oh? Really?’’
‘’Iya. Each chapter is similar to one of your adventure stories Sensei. It's almost like an autobiography,’’ Minato replied.
‘’But, this is not for sale at all. For the next one, I thought I would add some exciting elements to spice it up a bit,’’ said Jiraiya smiling stiffly.
Minato opened the book again. ‘’The main character of this book, I think his determination to never give up is really cool. Sensei, he looks a lot like you.’’
Jiraiya smiled shyly while scratching her back head. ‘’Ka-You think so?’’
‘’So, I was thinking. I really wish my unborn child could become a shinobi just like this main character. That's why I want to ask your permission Sensei to name my son following him,’’ Minato said.
‘’H-Hey? Are you sure? It was just a random name that I thought of during a ramen meal,’’ Jiraiya said.
‘’Naruto .. That's a beautiful name,’’ said Kushina who emerged from behind the wall.
Kushina gave a greeting, making Jiraiya finally understand.
Minato and Kushina smiled. ‘’You are my sensei. And you're a great shinobi who has the true talent of ninjas. No one else like you.’’
‘’Good then. I also want to go,’’ said Jiraiya.
‘’In the meantime Kushina will give birth. Why doesn't Sensei stay a little longer to see our son?’’ ask Minato.
Jiraiya smiled. ‘’I have to do important research for next work. Besides, I will meet him when he has grown big enough.’’
Minato just resigned. The couple drove Jiraiya to the door. After seeing Jiraiya leave, the two people looked at each other.
‘’Minato, are you thinking the same thing as me?’’ ask Kushina.
‘’We met Naruto first. I was so surprised when I read Jiraiya sensei,’’ Minato said.
Kushina bit her lower lip. ‘’Naruto .. Could he be...’’.

The sky was almost dark, making Kushina head to the delivery place. However, he met his best friend in the middle of the road.
‘’Your baby is very funny. What's his name?’’ ask Kushina.
‘’Sasuke,’’ Mikoto replied.
‘’Sasuke, yes?"
Oh, I almost forgot. Whether that was true, the woman who gave birth felt a tremendous pain, even as if she wanted to die. Should I be careful? Dattebane,’’ whispered Kushina.
Mikoto just smiled stiffly. ‘’Itu...’’
The middle-aged woman escorting Kushina turned her head. ‘’Kushina-sama, we should arrive soon. Yondaime-sama must have been waiting.’’

After arriving at the secret delivery site, Minato ordered that all shinobi be on guard after he put up the barrier.
Tens of minutes have passed. Kushina's tears flowed from the corner of her eyes after hearing the sound of the baby crying, while Minato was wide with sparkling eyes.
