Naruto : Minato back to the past

"Dad, I'm back!"

Just as Minato and Kushina were waiting for ramen, a childish and crisp voice suddenly came.

The two of them turned their attention and saw the little girl standing outside the ramen shop.

She looks only three or four years old, with delicate features, but a little baby fat on her face. She looks like a porcelain doll, so cute.

"What a cute girl!"

Kushina couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It's Ayame, come in quickly."

The owner of the ramen shop seemed to be concentrating on making ramen, so he didn't even have time to turn around and responded to the little girl with his back.

"Thank you for the compliment. Sister, you are very beautiful too. The hairpin on your head is a little old, but it suits you very well."

Ayame said with a very polite smile, then walked around a few people and entered the ramen shop.

Kushina smiled when she received the girl's praise, and reached out her hand to gently stroke the hairpin that pinned her long red hair.

This hairpin was given to her by Minato. Over the years, except for some special circumstances, she never took it off even when sleeping.

At this moment, Minato was sizing up Kushina's expression. He stroked his chin and said, "It's indeed been a bit long. After dinner, I'll give you a new hairpin."

But Kushina shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, I will always wear this hairpin, just like I said at the beginning."

Seeing her determined look, Minato could only follow her.

"Your ramen is ready!"

After a while, the ramen shop owner brought up two large bowls of steaming ramen.

They have to say, although it is just simple ramen, the boss makes it very distinctive. Not only does it smell fragrant, but the color combination is also very appetizing.

"Boss, let's start." Minato said, looking at the ramen shop owner.

"Please!" the latter responded to him.

Kushina and Minato looked at each other, picked up their chopsticks, and started eating their ramen.

After taking the first bite, their faces trembled almost at the same time.

After chewing it for a few times and swallowing it, the two people said almost at the same time.

"Tasty!"

Kushina's cooking skills are quite good, so the former didn't actually have high expectations for ramen, a food that is not very nutritious.

However, Ichiraku Ramen is impeccable in terms of texture and taste.

"Of course, this is my father's secret recipe that took him more than ten years to develop."

At this time, little Ayame seemed to be standing on a stool, revealing her little head, and laughed quite proudly.

On the side, the owner of the ramen shop was naturally full of joy.

The two people, whose taste buds were stimulated, continued to eat ramen.

In the end, they even drank up all the ramen soup.

"Thank you for the food." Kushina and Minato put their hands together and said.

"It's really unforgettable and delicious."

Minato was definitely not a glutton, but he couldn't help but speak out.

"It's really exciting to get praise from the Hokage," the ramen shop owner laughed.

Beside him, the little girl's face suddenly turned surprised, then she stared at Minato and asked, "Big brother is the Hokage?"

Although a succession ceremony had been held, it did not mean that everyone in the village recognized him as the Fourth Hokage.

What's more, Ayame is so young.

"Yeah." Minato responded with a smile.

"That's amazing. I remember the previous Hokage was an old grandfather. Ayame thought all Hokage were like that." The little girl said naively.

"hehe."

Hearing this, Kushina and Minato couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, there is a big difference between Minato and Hiruzen in appearance.

After paying the money, Kushina and Minato strolled on the street again until it was time to go to bed, and then they returned home.

When she opened the door just now, Kushina's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong, Kushina?"

Minato immediately asked after noticing her change.

Kushina didn't seem to be able to answer him at this point, and rushed into the bathroom.

Then came the sound of vomiting.

Minato was stunned at first, because he had never seen Kushina like this before.

She inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and has not even been sick in more than ten years.

Thinking of this anomaly, his azure pupils suddenly shrank.

He immediately went to the bathroom. At this time, Kushina was washing her hands and mouth. There was a trace of tiredness between her brows that Minato had never seen before.

Minato asked in a trembling voice, "Kushina, what's wrong with you?"

Kushina tilted her face and said suspiciously, "I don't know. It was the same this afternoon. I suddenly felt nauseous."

After receiving her answer, Minato could no longer remain calm.

"Let's go to the hospital." Minato said, grabbing Kushina's hand.

The latter was still a little stunned. Before the former's words were completely finished, the two figures had disappeared.

"Minato, what's wrong with you today? You look so weird."

In the doctor's office, Kushina was sitting on a stool, and Minato was standing next to her, with an expression that seemed to be expecting something.

Just then, the office door opened and the doctor walked in holding a report.

The doctor came in front of the two of them, and then said with a little respect: "Hokage-sama, the test results are out."

"Your wife is two months pregnant, and vomiting is just a normal pregnancy reaction."

Although he had a guess in his mind long ago, when he got the definite answer, Minato's face suddenly showed ecstasy.

Kushina was still somewhat stunned.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened and then looked at Minato.

"Minato, did you hear that?"

"Um!"

"I'm going to be a mom!"

"I'm going to be a dad!"

The two were ecstatic, responding to each other's excitement at the moment.

However, Minato then controlled his emotions. After all, this was a hospital and loud noises were not appropriate.

The doctor was not surprised. No matter who they were, their reaction was the same when they received the news that they were going to be parents.

Afterwards, the doctor gave the two some instructions on what to pay attention to during pregnancy.

This was probably the first time in Kushina's life that she listened carefully to this knowledge that made her feel overwhelmed.

This is what it feels like to be a parent.

Minato and Kushina were naturally extremely excited, but according to the doctor's orders, pregnant women should not overexert themselves.

So after returning home, Kushina went to bed.

Looking at the face that was still smiling even though she was asleep, Minato also had a happy smile on his face.

Reliving this moment, Minato felt a lot of emotions.

He couldn't help but think of that night when he stood in front of Kushina with messy hair and the newly born Naruto.

Minato clearly remembered the questions Kushina had raised to him.

Because outside of Konoha, Minato did not immediately stop the masked man and the Nine-Tails, but chose to send Kushina to safety first.

That was because at that time, he was not only the Hokage, but also an angry husband and father whose wife and child were attacked by others.

The fateful night was approaching quietly, and at this moment, Minato had only one thought in his mind.

That is, I will never let that masked man succeed again!
