I, The New Hokage of Konoha

"Asuma! How dare you secretly smoke again! Get over here!"

"So annoying! What is a man smoking?"

"A man? How old are you? Immediately, pinch off the cigarette! Where are the other cigarettes you have hidden? Hand them over!"

"No more! Just this one in my hand."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Crack, crack, crack.

Next, there was a commotion outside the house.

In the end, Asuma, who had stolen the stolen goods, shouted in pain, "I won't return to this house." Then, he buried his head and rushed out of the house.

Biwako Sarutobi couldn't stop him. She was still angry and could only aim at the house. She scolded, "Hiruzen! Look at how good you are!"

"Cough cough! There are guests at lute lake! Jiraya, that kid is here!"

Hiruzen subconsciously choked off the pipe in his hand as he said this.

"Hmph! You guys chat first. Later, ask Jiraya to stay behind to eat. This kid always doesn't know how to walk through the gate whenever he returns."

Biwako Sarutobi didn't say anything more and gave a face to Hiruzen.

Inside the room.

Hiruzen lit his pipe again and took a deep breath, and said to Jiraya, "As you can see, this retirement life is not as good as you think."

Jiraya smiled awkwardly, "Asuma has grown up. It's normal to be rebellious."

"It's fine if it's just a little rebellious. But Asuma, this child." Hiruzen shook his head and did not continue.

Every family has their own problems.

Jiraya could not say anything more.

After enjoying the sumptuous meal prepared by Biwako, and as Jiraya left, Hiruzen finally asked: "When are you going to leave?"

He knew that his disciple was a restless person, and he did not want to keep him. After all, he did not need to be the Hokage now.

Jiraya smiled: "After visiting Minato's family, I heard that Kushina is pregnant. I have to see my future grand-student first. I think he will become a great Ninja like his father and mother in the future."

"It's Minato and Kushina's child." Hiruzen was also looking forward to it.

"Well, I'll leave now." Jiraya waved his hand and disappeared under the sunset.

Sarutobi looked at his back and did not move for a long time.

...

On the opposite side of Kushina's home, in a hidden observation point.

The white hair on his head and the black mask of the cat-faced Kakashi carefully stared at the opposite house.

It was the target of his long mission and his master.

"Kushina seems to have cooked more today than usual. Is she going to invite some guests?"

Through the small window in the kitchen, Kakashi could see that Kushina, who had a head of red hair and a lot more tender wives than usual, was happily humming a tune as she cooked.

'It seems that that person has a very high status in the mind of the teacher's wife. '

Kakashi took out a pen and paper, thought about it, and recorded it.

He quickly finished all of this and looked over again.

This time, he looked at Kushina's slightly bulging belly even more.

To witness the birth of a new life from nothing, for someone like him who was in a cold and desperate state, was indeed an indescribable feeling.

Time passed by.

Under Kakashi's observation, Kushina had already made a big table full of dishes.

At this moment, his teacher, Minato, who had finished his work day, returned home. He repeatedly apologized amid Kushina's complaints and helped her make the last move without stopping.

When everything was ready,

Finally, the guest that the husband and wife were waiting for arrived.

Jiraya, one of the three Konoha Ninjas!

From a different perspective, he was also his master.

Kakashi recorded it down again, then stretched himself, ready to rest.

With that person by his side, it didn't matter if the protectors were here.

Because the former was the biggest guarantee of safety.

At the same time.

At the home of the Minato couple.

Jiraya, who had just pushed the door open, saw the big table of dishes following the fragrance. He was surprised, "I heard you say that Kushina's cooking skills are superb, and I thought you were just bragging. After all, the red pepper didn't look like someone who could cook. Now it seems that I was wrong!"

"Of course! In my eyes, Kushina is a perfect wife. Of course, she will be a very competent mother in the future." Minato said proudly.

"Don't think that I will forgive you for your late return. You said you would return early to prepare dinner with me." On the side, although Kushina was happy to hear this, she still snorted.

"There's nothing I can do. The 4th Hokage Leader has arranged too much work today. I deliberately asked Shikaku to help me share the burden." Minato smiled bitterly and scratched his head.

"It seems that Minato is very trusting of the fourth-generation head!" Not only did his most proud disciple not get suspected by Yuki because of the elections, but he was still promoted, and Jiraya was very happy.

He quickly helped solve the encirclement: "I'm hungry. Come and eat. I also want to experience Kushina's cooking."

Seeing this, Kushina's attention was diverted, and she immediately led Jiraya to review the dishes she had prepared.

"Teacher Jiraya, quickly try this dish. I learned it from my neighbour's grandmother for a long time."

"Teacher Jiraya, try this soup again. Mikoto told me this is a thousand-year-old secret recipe of the Uchiha clan. It's only because I have good relations with people that I can get this soup."

"Teacher Jiraya, there's also this dish. As a chef, I made it myself. It's a good evaluation."

"Teacher Jiraya..."

""... "

"Minato, you should eat more!"

""... "

"Eh? Why aren't you eating? There are still so many dishes that you haven't eaten yet! Am I not good at cooking? No? Then let me finish all of them in one go! Is it easy for me to work so hard to cook so many dishes?"

In the end, after seeing that a large part of her hard work still had not been wiped out, the lion roared.

Seeing this, Minato and Jiraya, who didn't dare to provoke his anger, held their stomachs and quickly continued to work.

After eating at least eight people's meals, Kushina smiled and restored her gentle wife.

Jiraya looked at Minato with sympathy and then leaned on the chair like the latter, trying to digest the bursting stomach.

After a long time, when the two of them barely made it through, Jiraya asked:

"Have you two decided on the name of the child?"

Hearing this, Minato and Kushina looked at each other and smiled. The former gently touched his wife's belly and said:

"Of course! I like the protagonist in the story of strong perseverance. If only my unborn child could become a ninja like a protagonist. So, Teacher Jiraya, can I borrow the name of the protagonist?"

Jiraya was stunned: "Naruto?"

He was suddenly touched but still persuaded: "Is that really good? That's the name I thought of when I was eating noodles!"

"Naruto, that's a great name!" Before Minato could say anything, Kushina smiled and nodded to Jiraya.

Minato had a bright smile on his face and nodded.

"Kushina... Minato..." Jiraya whispered.

Then, he looked at Kushina's stomach.

So, this unborn child was Naruto.
