Chapter 2 A Danger Above

Yingren is a young man who has just entered the society. He looked at the blond and blue-eyed self in the mirror and immediately recognized the identity of this image.

Namikaze Minato, the fourth Hokage in Naruto...

He never dreamed that he would travel through time because he was overworked and dozed off on his desk.

He looked at the pile of scrolls and documents spread out on the table in the study and felt embarrassed. It seems that the previous owner of this body should have been working overtime before he traveled through time.

Could it be that the two people's situations were similar, which led to this time travel? Yingren couldn't help but have this weird thought in his mind.

Dong Dong Dong——

"Minato, I'm coming in?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then a woman's voice came from outside the door.

Yingren, who was in the room, was startled. He hadn't had time to get familiar with the new environment around him, and with this new body, he was naturally a little flustered.

What caught him off guard was that before he could answer, the door of the study was opened. Then, a pregnant woman with long red hair walked in.

"Ah, Kushina."

Minato Namikaze looked a little flustered, standing in front of a mirror, looking a little at a loss. But his eyes couldn't help but glance at the bulging belly of Uzumaki Kushina.

Then he recognized the identity of the woman in front of him at a glance, but what he didn't expect was that Uzumaki Kushina had been pregnant for so long. According to his observation, it was obvious that the protagonist Naruto was about to be born.

Because he had just crossed over, the fusion of his body and memory was not thorough enough. He immediately subconsciously searched the memory of this body. When all the information was received, he completely understood the time he was in.

The day before Uzumaki Naruto was born, the eve of the Nine-Tails Rebellion...

At the same time, it was also the night before Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina both died.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat. Is there a word of danger on his head at the beginning? Couldn't I have been one day later and traveled through time to become Naruto? That would have been great...

I was just a little bit away from being the protagonist, damn it...

"Minato, what's wrong with you?"

Uzumaki Kushina saw that her husband looked a little strange, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Is it because you have too much work and are a little tired..."

Then, without saying anything, she came forward to wipe the sweat off her husband's forehead.

Because Minato was slightly taller and Kushina was pregnant, it was obviously a bit difficult to wipe the sweat off Minato.

"...I'm fine."

Smelling the fragrance of the red-haired woman in front of him, and the slight coolness of her cold fingers touching his face, Ying Ren, who had never dated a girlfriend in his previous life, had a little embarrassment on his face, and subconsciously wanted to press Kushina's hand.

But when he thought that his identity at this time was Namikaze Minato, and the pregnant woman in front of him was his wife, doing so would obviously expose his abnormality, so he had to quickly retract this idea.

"Minato, are you really okay? If you are too tired, go to bed early." Kushina looked suspicious.

Kushina naturally saw the abnormality of Minato standing in front of the mirror blankly before. Although he quickly returned to normal, she was still a little worried.

And this time, Minato showed a little unfamiliar discomfort to her close contact just now.

Women are sensitive. As the wife of the Fourth Hokage, Kushina is of course more sensitive to her husband's abnormality.

Ying Ren also knew that he had lost his composure. In order to avoid revealing more suspicious clues, he quickly restored the tone and demeanor of the original Namikaze Minato in his memory. "I know, tomorrow is the due date, you have to rest well. There are too many things to deal with in the past two days, and I have to review some documents before I can rest."

"You go to bed first..."

Then, he tried to squeeze out a warm smile.

Kushina glanced at the pile of documents on the desk in the study, and probably thought that her husband might be a little strange because of overwork, so she nodded. At the same time, her eyes looking at Minato became softer and warmer.

After much persuasion, Minato Namikaze finally sent Kushina away. But what he didn't expect was that before leaving, Kushina kissed him on the face and left contentedly...

This time, because of the previous experience, Ying Ren didn't let himself show the embarrassment of blushing and heartbeating as before.

When the door of the study was closed again, Minato Namikaze in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he resisted Uzumaki Kushina, but he didn't have time to adapt to this way of getting along between husband and wife.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, a couple of talented men and beautiful women in the original work, originally had such a bright future. But with the collapse of Uchiha Obito's psychology and the twisted heart led by Madara, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was created. This family, which should have been beautiful and happy, was shattered.

Compared to considering how to adapt to this unprecedented couple model, he now has more important things to consider and face.

Because soon, he will face the biggest test since he came to this world, Nine-Tails and Uchiha Obito...

According to the original plan, he should prepare to leave the village and go to the barrier tonight. The barrier of the place for childbirth that had been chosen long ago outside the village had been set up long ago. At the same time, the Anbu responsible for guarding were also sent there early.

But he knew that the place should have been known by Uchiha Obito. When Kushina was about to give birth tomorrow, he, the apprentice who had been controlled and brainwashed by Madara, would sneak in there and wait for an opportunity to use the newly born Naruto to force him to leave temporarily, and then take Kushina away and release the Nine-Tails...

To be honest, in the original work, during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Minato Namikaze didn't have to risk his life to seal the Nine-Tails.

There were many ways to avoid dying in the line of duty.

First of all, Kushina Uzumaki, who was like a candle in the wind, had the ability to pull the Nine-Tails to death. If that was done, Konoha would temporarily lose the Nine-Tails, an important weapon, and the balance of the tailed beasts would be broken. Choosing to do so was obviously not good for Konoha. As the fourth generation Hokage, if he did so and let the village lose the Nine-Tails, he would inevitably be blamed.

Secondly, there was a more selfish choice, which could not only prevent Konoha from losing the tailed beasts, but also prevent the fourth generation from dying in the line of duty. That is to let the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen use the technique of Shiki Fuujin, but how can such a thing be deliberately proposed? Unless, Yuan Fei Hiruzen can voluntarily step forward.

As for the method with lower cost, there are also some. For example, let the Uchiha clan take action, such as the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku. He has the Mangekyō Sharingan. Even if he can't completely control the runaway Nine-Tails, it is absolutely no problem to help contain and complete the seal. Unfortunately, because of the suspicion of the upper echelons of the Uchiha, no member of the Uchiha clan was allowed to fight against the Nine-Tails during the Nine-Tails Rebellion...

Which method should be chosen to avoid being killed at the beginning?

In the study, Namikaze Minato frowned and sat back in his chair after thinking about it.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Why did he fall into the fixed thinking of how to seal the Nine-Tails? Wouldn't it be better to solve it directly from the source?

Since Uchiha Obito is in the dark and has already set his sights on the location of the barrier where Kushina gave birth, why not change the location temporarily?

As a time traveler and the fourth Hokage, Ying Ren is absolutely confident that he can break the death crisis that Minato Namikaze experienced in the Nine-tailed Rebellion in the original work.

Soon, a comprehensive plan gradually formed in Minato Namikaze's mind.

Then, he slowly stood up. With a thought, he silently recited a few words, and his figure instantly disappeared in the house.

"Flying Thunder God Technique...!"

...

The night was slightly cool.

There were no people walking on the central street of Konoha Village late at night. Looking around, there were only a few scattered stores that had not closed yet.

Only one or two drunkards could be seen on the road, stumbling and walking.

Somewhere in the distance, there would occasionally be a few barking dogs. Most people had gone to bed at this time.

If someone looked up at the center of the village, the building that symbolizes the highest institution in the village, the top office of the Hokage Building, they would find that the lights were still on.

Namikaze Minato was inside at this time, looking at the environment in the office with a little curiosity.

The layout of the room was very simple, with a semicircular desk piled with various document scrolls, and the window behind the chair overlooking most of the scenery of Konoha Village.

However, it was late at night, and it was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen clearly...

There was nothing else in the office except this table and chair. The remaining space should be the space that needs to be reserved when summoning ninjas in the village.

On the wall next to it, there were three photos, from left to right, they were Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It was the first time for Namikaze Minato to be in the Hokage office. At this time, he had not completely changed from the mentality of a time traveler, and still felt very strange.

After looking at the photos of the first to third generations of Hokage wearing Hokage robes, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to hang his own photo on it. It should be very handsome, right?

"Wait, hanging on it doesn't seem to be a good thing..."

Minato Namikaze's imagination was suddenly interrupted by a cold sweat, because he suddenly remembered that only after death, the photo will be hung on it...
