It's been almost 3 months since Kushina and I started the war against Kuruma.
During this period, I was constantly fighting using my physical strength and Reverse Cursed technique.
Kushina, on the other hand, spent half her day coming to her spiritual space and fighting alongside me.
Kushina's belly grew larger during this period, making it more obvious that she was pregnant.
Over the past 3 months, I have defeated and disassembled Kurama many times, but I could not find his soul essence, which I thought was somewhere inside his gigantic body.
Every time I defeated Kurama, I separated one part of his body from the others and cut it into small pieces to search inside, but I couldn't find anything.
While I was looking at Kuruma lying unconscious in front of me with a shrunken body because his chakra was depleted, I informed Kushina that I would start implementing my new plan.
When Kushina said she was ready, I placed my hands on Kurama's body and injected all the cursed energy in my body into Kurama and took a look at Kurama's soul as a whole.
----------
Kushina was resting in a special hospital room prepared for her some time ago.
The entire walls of the hospital room were covered with writings written in black ink.
While Kushina was lying in the hospital bed, she suddenly opened her eyes and got into a sitting position, cross-legged. After folding her hands over her belly, which had just started to swell, she called out to the room where there was no one, "I'm ready."
After Kushina made a few seals with her hands, the writings on the walls of the room moved to cover the doors and furniture as well. Immediately afterwards, a dark energy coming out of Kushina's body began to spread to the surroundings.
All Kushina was doing right now was manipulating her chakra to protect the baby in her belly.
After this process continued for approximately 1 hour, the energy leaking from Kushina's body began to turn into a mixture of black and orange colors.
After another 10 minutes, the two different energies combined to form a dark red energy.
While Kushina's skin tone was getting whiter and whiter with each passing second, the energy storm eventually calmed down and Kushina instantly fainted and fell onto the bed.
----------
"I finally did it, I captured Kuruma's soul essence hahahahah"
As I stood in the middle of the spiritual space where the traces of fiction were erased, I burst into laughter that I could not stop.
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed your mission, the reward is merging with the soul essence of the person you killed]
I instantly lost consciousness as a terrible pain shot through my body from every direction.
----------
Minato quickly entered the hospital room where Kushina was sleeping because when Kushina entered she said she would be out in half an hour.
When Minato entered the room, he saw Kushina unconscious in the hospital and worriedly wanted to approach Kushina, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
Minato sealed his hands several times, destroying the invisible wall between him and his wife, and checked her condition.
Making sure that Kushina was in good condition, Minato breathed a sigh of relief and left the room and called a few nurses.
After the medical ninja's check, they found no abnormalities other than the abnormally high vitality of the baby in Kushina's womb.
Minato was relieved to think that this was the Uzumaki bloodline, but he was wrong about this because the unborn Naruto had both a huge amount of chakra and a huge amount of cursed energy, and therefore a terrifying level of vitality.
After a short while, Kushina woke up from her unconsciousness. The first thing Kushina did after waking up was to touch her belly and control her baby with her chakra. Then she closed her eyes and looked into her spiritual emptiness.
His spiritual emptiness was somehow quite quiet, unlike his usual liveliness.
After wandering around the surrounding buildings for a while, Kushina found a red egg lying in the middle of her spiritual void.
When he approached in surprise and touched the red egg, he felt such fear that he quickly withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.
"Sukuna-san are you here!!!"
When Kushina received no response, she had a bad feeling and left the spiritual void.
When Minato saw that Kushina had regained consciousness, he asked what was going on, but the only answer he got was "I don't know."
As Kushina put her hands together, adamantine sealing chains appeared behind her, and in the next moment, the red egg in Kushina's spiritual space was caught by these chains and suspended in the air.
Meanwhile, Sukuna found himself in nothingness again. Based on his previous experience, he opened the system screen without hesitation and saw a text in front of him.
[Merge with Kurama's soul essence initiated]
[This process may be a little painful, please grit your teeth]
[You will gain new memories after merging]
[After the merger, you will have to fight a short battle with the consciousness of Kuruma in your soul. Whoever wins the war will own this soul in the future]
"Wtf system, why didn't you tell me before that this would happen? Anyway, it doesn't really matter"
While I was going to enter my system profile and check whether I opened the system window in time, the screens in front of me disappeared and I was presented with a screen with a loading symbol and the text %1.
As I stared at the screen in confusion, a terrible pain shot through my whole body and even into my consciousness.
------- Minato's house
While Kushina and Minato were sitting side by side on the right side of a four-person dining table, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his wife were sitting across from them.
Hiruzen was the one who started the conversation with a serious expression.
" Kushina, I have something to tell you about the birth. While Mito-sama, the jinchruki before you, was in labor, the seal of the kyubi almost broke. I'm sorry, but out of caution, I want you to deliver the baby in a protected area outside the village."
"But you know, the kyubi is gone and all that's left is a motionless egg."
"We don't know anything about this egg"
"Come on, Hokage-sama, I'm not even sealing it right now, yet the egg isn't showing any movement."
Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Biwako were astonished when they heard that Kushina had deactivated the sealing technique. Immediately afterwards, Hiruze's scolding voice was heard.
"Kushina, do you realize how what you're doing is endangering the village. How long have you been keeping it unsealed?"
Kushina was startled by Sarutobi Hiruzen's scolding voice and answered: "About 5 months"
While Sarutobi was about to scold Hiruzen again, he saw Minato's eyes, who was angry because he was yelling at his pregnant wife.
*Exhalation sound*
"Okay Kushina, if you are so sure, I will trust you. You will give birth in the hospital, but there will be a barrier."
Kushina showed a smile that she couldn't hide in the face of the unexpected surprise and thanked Sarutabi.
After the conversation continued for a short while, Sarutobi Hiruzen took Minato and left the house. Shortly after they left, Biwako told Kushina to follow her and took the lead in leaving the house.
While Biwako was taking Kushina to the hospital, they met Mikoto on the way. When Kushina saw the baby in Mikoto's arms, a short conversation took place between them, but before Kushina could continue speaking, Biwako grabbed her ear and dragged her after her.

By evening, the surroundings of Konoha Hospital seemed strangely deserted and quiet. Of course, if the person looking here had the author's perspective, he could easily see dozens of Anbu ninjas hiding in the shadows around. If he looked more carefully, he might even see someone wearing an Uzumaki mask hiding in the depths of space.
The ninjas standing guard around were being silently killed one by one by this Uzumaki masked man. Shortly after, the masked man stepped through the door of the hospital.
------
In front of one of the rooms in the hospital, Minato was gnawing on his fingers as he walked from side to side.
When he saw Biwako coming out of the hospital room holding a baby in his hand, Minato immediately rushed forward and wanted to touch his own child, but Biwako scolded him and pushed him away.
"The baby will be cleaned first and then shown to its mother. Your turn is last."
Minato wanted to place the flying lightning seal on the baby, just like his mother, but Biwako did not allow it. Minato said to himself that he was overreacting
Minato scratched the back of his head and didn't object to the biwako. When Biwako entered the room with the newborn sign at the end of the corridor, Minato was smiling like crazy while jumping on the spot and punching the air.
Minato's joy was cut short by a scream coming from the newborn room. Without hesitation, Minato burst into the room and peeked inside.
In the room full of baby beds, before Minato could react to the biwako falling on the floor and smearing blood around it, he saw a masked man holding his own child in his hands.
Minato was about to rush forward when the masked man took a kunai and pointed it at Minato's son.
"Don't you care what happens to the child?"
Minato frantically tried to persuade the masked man
"Wait, calm down"
"I'm already calm Minato, you're the one who needs to be calm"
After saying these words, the masked man threw the child in his hand out the open window.
Minato instantly disappeared and held his child in the air, but he saw dozens of explosive tags hidden underneath surrounding his child.
In the next moment, Minato threw the cloth surrounding the baby into the air and disappeared with the baby.
-----
When Kushina heard the noise outside, she stood up and left the room, not caring that she had just given birth.
As soon as Kushina left the room, an uzumaki formed in space swallowed her, and when Kushina regained consciousness, she found herself somewhere outside the village.
While Kushina was looking around, ready to fight, suddenly some chains grabbed her arm and legs and lifted her into the air.
When Kushina realized that she could not control the chakra in her body, she cursed the air.
"Where are you, dog? If you are a man, come to me."
Obito appeared from an uzumaki that formed in the air and looked at Kushina, who had helped him a lot in the past.
"If you did something to my son, you are now dead."
Without saying a word, Obito walked up to Kushina and exposed her belly.
Obito was astonished as he looked at Kushina's belly, which had no abnormalities except that it was red due to the new birth.
"Is Kyubi released?"
Obito quickly realized (or thought he understood) what was happening and smiled and disappeared.
As soon as she left, Minato appeared next to Kushina and untied the chains that bound Kushina.
"Kushina, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I'm fine, that strange man came, looked at my belly and disappeared. Is our son okay?"
"In a safe place"
The next moment, Kushina suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

While I was watching the screen in front of me inside the egg, I was trying to get used to the tingling feeling in my body, when the screen that said 20% disappeared and a warning appeared instead.
[There has been external interference in the merger process, please return as soon as possible, otherwise the merger will fail and unpredictable consequences will occur]
After the black shell around me shattered, I found myself in one of the streets in the middle of Konoha.
When I turned my head I saw the man with the uzumaki mask looking at me like he saw something strange and I understood everything.
"Get out of my presence"
Obito shook his head and shook his head, then looked at me with his sharingans spinning in his eyes, and in the next second, he split vertically in half.
"Know your place, fool ."
