Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 42.
...
...
Mikoto's transplant lasted the entire night, while her eyes were removed, losing all their brightness as they were taken out of her chakra flow, as if she had lost her vision and completely died.
They would be useless now, while the new eyes, after Minato removed them from the scroll filled with protective seals—which took so ti before he could finally retrieve them—were handed to Tsuna to implant into Mikoto.
When morning ca, she had finished, cleaning her hands and looking at Mikoto, who was lying there. There were layers of dried blood on her clothes and hers, while her eyes were bandaged, blocking her sight, since all the wounds caused during the transplant needed to heal and scar over, but most importantly, her body needed to get used to a new pair of eyes before she could finally open them.
Tsuna's gaze turned to Minato. He had stayed awake all night too, watching Tsuna work on the transplant. He approached at that mont, while Tsuna stepped aside to let him pass and check on Mikoto.
She was conscious, but silent.
Mikoto knew he was there, she just didn't say anything, while her lips seed to tremble slightly. Minato didn't say a word and then, he took her right hand with his left, and with his right hand, he touched her belly under her blouse to feel her skin.
He hadn't imagined this. That's why her pregnancy took him by surprise. And, when he finally began to feel the life growing in Mikoto's belly at that mont, he could tell that the pregnancy was already two months along. Life had already ford and was developing.
Minato would never have guessed without seeing any visible change in Mikoto's belly—which hadn't happened yet. His observation haki wasn't developed enough to sense sothing different there without focusing, and the last thing he had done in the past twelve months was check Mikoto's belly.
Mikoto's right hand gripped Minato's tightly. He looked at her, still blindfolded.
"Why didn't you tell ?" Minato asked. "You should've told ..."
He hadn't even suspected, and Mikoto hadn't acted strangely.
"I didn't want you to worry..." she said in a neutral tone.
"Well... I would've worried, but I also would've liked to know that I was going to be a father two months ago..." Minato said, while hearing Tsuna step away from them, clicking her tongue, washing her hands and cleaning the instrunts at the sink in that laboratory.
"She's jealous," Mikoto comnted, cracking a small smile, while Minato sighed.
"This isn't the ti for that... Mikoto," Minato said seriously.
"I'm sorry for that, Minato... But you know if I had said I was pregnant, you wouldn't have even planned to give these new eyes," she said.
"That's not true," Minato replied.
After all, he preferred to have the mother of his child able to summon a complete Susano'o than to have her vulnerable. Even if it could strain the baby, he was in a possible war against the village. So it was better for Mikoto to have her own power to protect herself along with the child inside her.
"But will you let fight?" she still asked.
"I'd rather not," Minato answered honestly.
"That's not an option now, Minato," she said.
"I know..." Minato said in the end, with a sigh, before looking at Tsuna, who had her back to them, still seeming angry.
"Go talk to her. I'm fine now..." Mikoto said, with Minato nodding and kissing her forehead.
"Tsuna..."
Tsuna was angry, so Minato approached her. She looked at him for a mont before turning her face away and continuing to take off her bloodied coat and put on her other clothes, tying her hair up before throwing everything—gloves and clothes—into a trash bag nearby.
She had gotten angry when she found out, obviously, but had set it aside to focus on Mikoto's eye transplant. After all, it depended on her. But now that the surgery was over, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
"I knew it would turn out badly... you and that... Uchiha living together..." she muttered.
"Why are you so angry?" Minato sighed. The girl was jealous.
"Mikoto is my wife, just like you," he said as he approached her from behind and hugged her, holding her gently, while the girl stiffened without answering him.
"You're jealous, is that it?" Minato asked.
Tsuna still didn't respond, but her body finally seed to soften in the situation.
"I shouldn't be... I know that," she murmured in the end, embarrassed.
"It's just that... knowing Mikoto will be a mother... I don't know how to explain it. I just... I wanted that too," she admitted.
Minato raised an eyebrow behind her, still holding her against his body.
"Are you on those days?" he asked, while she nodded slightly, a little embarrassed.
Now her hormones were pretty chaotic, added to the delicate situation. So, it could be said that the shock of knowing Mikoto and Minato would have a child left her a little shaken.
"You want that? Do you want us to have a child?" Minato didn't hold back the question, while she looked at him seriously. They had never slept together, so she was still a virgin.
"How can you ask sothing like that?" she murmured, her face slightly flushed.
"If that's bothering you..." Minato smiled.
"...Then let's get married after we confront the village leadership. No matter what happens, how about it?" he asked.
She opened her eyes. He had never talked about the wedding they would have, never set a date. Just that they would do it in the future and, with so many problems, no one really cared about it.
"Are you sure, Minato? We're in the middle of a war anyway," she murmured.
"I know, but still... I'll be at war married to four won. I can't let Mikoto have a child and it not carry my na. My child will not be a bastard, and he will be a Namikaze," Minato said, while Tsuna in front of him nodded before breaking into a smile, letting her happiness show at the fact that they would finally get married.
"Really?!"
She had changed from water to wine quickly upon hearing that—it was her dream, and her already stirred-up hormones quickly intensified it.
Minato didn't even have ti to react before Tsuna kissed him, then pulled away.
"Anyway, we'll deal with that later. Now let's get ready to return to the village and replace our clones. Mikoto needs care now. You can keep her at your house—no one will be able to get in there, and your mother will keep any suspicions away, right?" Minato said, while Tsuna nodded.
They got ready and finally departed. Minato and Mikoto replaced their clones at the apartnt, while Tsuna was sent to the clone that was at her house in the Senju clan.
Minato checked on Mikoto, who was already starting to recover, although she still needed to remain in bed. He teleported her to the Senju household with him imdiately afterward, finding Tsuna already waiting for them.
Mikoto went to Tsuna's room, where the blonde would take care of the Uchiha.
Minato spoke with Tsunade after leaving Tsuna and Mikoto in the room, explaining the situation, while Tsuna's mother couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him.
"So you're telling that now the Uchiha has the sa eyes as Madara Uchiha? The one Grandpa used to struggle fighting?" she said, not hiding her skepticism or even her concern, thinking it was a terrible idea to give that much power to an Uchiha.
"Kushina has part of the Nine Tails' power. Soon, she'll have all of it. Your daughter has mastered Sage Mode. Hanabi can already perform S-rank jutsus. Their power levels have all risen considerably, even surpassing you, Tsunade. One being stronger than the other won't make any difference. Kushina and Mikoto will have equivalent levels of raw power," Minato said, while Tsunade gave her son-in-law a strange look.
This boy was behind the four most powerful won in the Leaf Village, all from powerful bloodlines and with distinct abilities, and he himself would be married to all of them at once and build a family that was unusual in the village—especially with so many won from such strong clans.
Even with one of them being her daughter, Tsunade couldn't help but think how absurd this was. Minato had too much power in his hands, not to ntion he was already strong on his own, having made a na for himself in recent years.
Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina, and Hanabi—despite the village recognizing their strength—had all had their power increased exponentially without the village suspecting a thing. They couldn't even imagine the true power each of them now possessed, which is why all the focus was on Minato.
And they would co to regret the day they attacked this family—after all, who could survive a fight against five such powerful individuals? It made her wonder how Minato had been behind the rise in strength of each one. But if she were to ask that kind of question directly, Minato would deny that he was truly behind everything.
Of course, he had helped in many ways, but Tsunade herself had seen her daughter Tsuna learn Sannin Mode on her own, and the other girls had developed their strength independently—even though Minato had helped Kushina and Mikoto overco their power limits and reach another level.
'I wonder what kind of monsters will co from my daughter and the other three who will marry him...' Tsunade couldn't help but have that thought as she looked at Minato.
Minato looked at her.
"Anyway, I'm still the strongest, so don't worry," he said, flashing a smile at his mother-in-law.
While Tsunade raised an eyebrow at him, thinking how full of himself this brat was.
"Anyway... be careful..." Tsunade said with a more serious tone.
"I know..." Minato said in a serious tone. "I'm sure the village is going to set sothing up against . But I'll be fine. Right now, I just want you to make sure no one gets near Mikoto while she recovers. It'll take about two weeks for her body to fully adapt to the new eyes."
"I'll take care of it. My concern now is the explosion that girl might cause if soone tries to attack her... I don't want to see a bijuu inside the village," Tsunade comnted. She was talking about Kushina, already knowing for so ti that Minato had helped her control the chakra of the Nine-Tails without anyone in the village suspecting.
"She doesn't have that kind of control yet, and Kushina is already handling her power very well. She isn't controlled by the chakra full of hatred... So you don't need to worry about her," Minato said, and Tsunade simply nodded in the end.
"Anyway, I'll see you at the eting," Minato said, and he disappeared while Tsunade went to check on Tsuna and Mikoto. Nawaki was doing sothing outside, not bothering to hide the fact that he now had a new arm from the village.
When night fell, Minato gathered everyone—except for one person—at the secret location.
"Are you saying the leader of the Kurama clan betrayed us?!"
One of the mbers imdiately beca enraged upon hearing this from Minato, who had gathered everyone to say that they were reaching their limit and would soon have to act. He also inford them that the mber of the Kurama clan had spoken with the Hokage.
After all, Minato had scanned the entire village that very day, checking each of the people he had gathered there, evaluating their emotions, and the only one truly disturbed was the father of Mirage, his ANBU teammate.
The ninjas could very well mask their expressions, and this clan leader certainly could too, but Minato knew the emotions of each one, and the change in him compared to what Minato previously knew was far too great.
There were feelings of caution, fear, and nervousness in him—that's what gave him away. That's why Minato didn't bother bringing him into this eting.
"It doesn't matter now... We have no choice but to proceed. The nations must already be dispatching their armies, so we act now," Minato said in a firm tone.
They discussed how they would go about this and how the Hokage would do everything to persuade and even threaten them. Everyone was to remain alert.
Minato returned ho after two hours of eting, ignoring all the eyes on him, not even noticing that he was in several different places, switching with his clones.
He was about to fall asleep when he felt sothing. He imdiately looked toward where the Hiraishin signal was indicating a call.
"This... is the Uzumaki clan," he murmured, vanishing at that mont, finally heading to the call of the kunai Minato had given to Mu Uzumaki after the end of the Second Great War.
