บท 136: Extreme Danger
Three Kages meeting before the attack on the Land of Water.
—Hahaha! Those fools from Iwa are becoming more restless since they were locked up, and as expected, Konoha is helping us keep them at bay without realizing it is exactly what we want them to do —the Raikage was in a great mood, and everything was ready for the joint attack— Spending some money to hire that Akatsuki organization was also a good move to create more chaos, saving us many problems.
Of course, no one would say aloud that the death of the Water Daimyo was related to them. In fact, they didn't even know that Enel planned to kill him, but since there was already a precedent with the Fire Daimyo, they simply pretended not to know anything while still keeping their hands clean.
—Anko has done an excellent job poisoning the important points marked on the map —Temari was informed of the complexity of the poison used by the Seimeigakure kunoichi, barely analyzed later by the elderly Chiyo, along with how it would become harmless after a while— Currently, Kirigakure is using emergency supplies to sustain many areas and buying essential exported food at a high price, which is also emptying their pockets quickly.
After this period, the people of the Land of Water were low-spirited and discontent. Kirigakure had increased the number of accepted missions driven by the need to recover the invested money, but that only accelerated the "disappearance" of many of its ninja.
Kimimaro has been having a great time!
In a way, it could be considered that he had been avenging his fallen clan.
—The information provided by Ameyuri-san is simply invaluable —Mabui looked tired at the meeting while continuing to speak; she had a heavy workload to move everything discreetly without alerting any possible spies in her village, and her boss wasn't of much help— Without her, we wouldn't have been able to penetrate so deeply into various places, evading surveillance and stirring things up.
—Speaking of the dwarf, I haven't heard from her in the last two weeks —the Raikage turned to look at Enel, who seemed to be nodding off— The last I knew was that Pakura went to deal with the people of the Hozuki clan and other clans, as revenge for an ambush in the past. Did she get sick or something?
—Hmm? —Enel seemed to wake up when he felt everyone focusing on him— Ameyuri is fine, just a bit more moody than usual lately. After all, she grew up in Kirigakure, and it's normal for her to be a little uncomfortable with what's happening —he shrugged while covering a yawn with his hand and stretching with fatigue— That, or pregnancy is making her restless, who knows.
After starting the tactics against Kirigakure, although Ameyuri said she didn't mind, she still sought him out to quell some of her conflicting emotions. Perhaps due to the additional impulse, she ended up pregnant during the last month, while Enel ended up sitting on an ice block that steamed at the touch to recover.
And recently, pregnancy hormones had been wreaking havoc on Ameyuri, causing her great thirst and leaving Enel tirelessly struggling to calm her so she could sleep through the night.
At least he no longer had to worry about becoming a eunuch; he vividly remembered Ameyuri's promise, and honestly, it was a relief for him to know that this threat had now dissipated like salt in the sea.
—Congratulations... I suppose? —the Raikage had to secretly admit that he admired Enel a bit for being able to achieve this feat with such a crazy woman like Ameyuri.
—Congratulations! —Temari and the others present also offered their congratulations, while in their minds, they elevated Ameyuri for the next nine months as a threat they should not provoke under any circumstances.
Chiyo, in particular, secretly sweated a bit, as an older woman who was both a mother and grandmother and also a midwife on several occasions, knew what pregnancy hormones could do to a woman. She had seen it and lived it.
Ameyuri alone was already a wild danger even before gaining that strange fire ability, but now with her condition...
Then she remembered who the father was and shuddered.
What she didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who trembled upon hearing about Ameyuri's pregnancy. When Pakura and Anko learned of the news, the looks they gave Enel were very... enlightening, regarding their intentions about what would happen once they finished with Kirigakure.
It was perhaps the first time that Enel felt a chill down his spine and wondered if his One Piece physique could withstand it. So he left training to stay in shape and moved on to practicing the one that increased his strength.
But that only seemed to increase Ameyuri's thirst, and that's how things were at the moment...
—Thanks, everyone —Enel rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed but secretly proud and happy— In any case, the issue is that Ameyuri won't be able to participate in the attack on Kirigakure, and therefore, I will take her place.
In fact, Enel and Ameyuri knew that this was only a half-truth. Although Ameyuri was pregnant and going through changes, she was only in the early stages, and with Enel's medical knowledge, there was no problem if she wanted to fight.
The real reason she didn't want to get involved was even simpler; she didn't know how to face her friend and the new Mizukage, Mei Terumi, at this point.
The only person she still cared about a bit in that village.
She deserted Kirigakure while innocently misleading Terumi by not clarifying her own misunderstanding, kept three of the Seven Swords of the Mist with her, then provided critical information about the village to facilitate her man's plan, and now she also had emotional moments due to the pregnancy that she was ashamed to remember and made her feel more vulnerable than she would like.
She didn't know how she would react if she found her at this moment, and under no circumstances would she risk her baby suffering any harm. Her stomach hadn't even grown yet, but she could already feel the connection with the life growing inside her.
It was beautiful, she felt the same warm sensation as when she was with her parents.
The same feeling that so far only Enel had been able to give her.
And she would bathe the world in blood if anyone dared to take it away!
Yes, it seems that Ameyuri fell into the category of a "tiger mother," and Enel wasn't even surprised to realize it in the slightest.
Especially since Tsunade approached Ameyuri one night smelling of alcohol without knowing her condition, and Ameyuri's sensitive (and disturbed) sense of smell caused her to have a pregnant outburst, making Tsunade run for her life scared like few times before, while the lightning-charged Kiba swords passed inches from her head.
Even when she later learned the reason, she just patted Enel on the back while giving him a pitying look. The fact that she had to stand on tiptoe to do it made the scene somewhat strange for those who saw it.
Not even Kushina was so fierce when she was pregnant!
Of course, both she and Enel could prepare remedies to calm her, but...
Who is brave enough to give it to her?
Haku, Karin, Nemu, Maki, and Fu seemed so eager for the baby to arrive that they started preparing a room for when it was born without even talking to the parents.
Well, it was a way for them to set aside their nerves; let them have fun.
