Naruto: The Hidden Orphan

Chapter 4 Minato succeeds as Hokage.

  "But he still looks like a baby anyway." Kushina came to Yin Xiang's side, looked at the sleeping Yin Xiang, and her maternal instinct overflowed again, and she kissed Yin Xiang's cheek gently. The

  sleeping Yin Xiang stretched out her little hand and scratched her cheek.

  "Yin Xiang is really lovable." Kushina said and returned to her seat.

  "By the way, in three days, Minato-sensei will succeed as the Fourth Hokage." Lin smiled with narrowed eyes, "It's a pity that I won't be able to see it."

  "I won't be able to see it either." Kakashi also said with some regret.

  "Don't be so regretful, it's not a good thing, and there will be more headaches in the future." Minato said with a smile.

  After the few people finished their meal, Kushina and Kakashi cleaned up the table together. Because Lin wanted to play with Yin Xiang, she accidentally woke up the sleeping Yin Xiang.

  Although Yin Xiang was woken up, he didn't cry like other babies, but smiled at Lin.

  "Eh? If you look closely, Yin Xiang's eyes are lavender, so beautiful." Lin looked closely at Yin Xiang's eyes, and was so happy when Yin Xiang kissed her on the cheek.

  "Eh?!" Lin was shocked. She didn't expect Yin Xiang to do this. He was still very happy after the kiss.

  "Oh, little Yin Xiang hasn't even kissed me. It seems that he likes Lin very much." Kushina said jealously when she saw this scene in the kitchen.

  "What... I haven't been kissed by others yet." Lin said with a red face. She was actually embarrassed by a little baby.

  "Obito would be mad if he knew." Kakashi said at this time, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull, and Lin didn't blush anymore.

  "Really." After a moment, Kushina gave Kakashi a hammer, "Why are you saying these things at this time."

  "Yeah yeah..." Yin Xiang clapped his hands and nodded, seeming to be very happy to see Kakashi being beaten.

  "This little guy..." Kakashi looked at Yin Xiang's happy look and frowned.

  After that, Minato sent Kakashi and Lin away. After Kushina washed the dishes, she changed Yin Xiang's clothes, and then pushed the stroller with Yin Xiang out. It was just lunch time.

  Along the way, they met many people Yin Xiang knew. They all greeted Kushina and teased Yin Xiang. Of course, Yin Xiang was happy to please them. Among them were Might Guy and others, as well as people like Hinata Hiashi and Nara Shikaku who were the same age as Minato.

  As for the other twelve strong men of Konoha, only Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee were born so far, and they were the same age as Yin Xiang.

  This turn let everyone in Konoha Village know that Minato Namikaze and Kushina had Yin Xiang as their adopted son, and he was given the title of the fourth Hokage's son.

  After Kushina bought some small things for the baby that Minato didn't notice, she took Yin Xiang home.

  If Minato is careless, it's not true. He bought double the things except the baby carriage and the crib. This is for Naruto in the future, who is about to be born. Minato didn't come back until the evening.

  "What did you do?" Kushina asked immediately.

  "The third generation asked me to go to his place, told me some precautions, and inevitably expressed a few words of emotion." Minato scratched his head and laughed.

  "Is that so? This old man is really, he still treats us as children!"

  "You can't say that. The third generation is also thinking about me and told me something about Yin Xiang."

  "Really! What did he say!?" Hearing about Yin Xiang, Kushina also asked hurriedly.

  "We still can't find out who did it, but his clansmen were killed in their sleep. There was no time to resist. They have been peaceful for too long." Minato stopped laughing and said seriously.

  "Really..." Kushina also felt lost, looking at Yin Xiang who was entertaining himself in the crib. Fortunately, he was still young and didn't understand these words.

  In fact, Yin Xiang felt nothing after hearing this, and was even a little scared. What if these people come to kill him again in the future?

  "But it doesn't matter. We will protect Yin Xiang in the future." Minato comforted Kushina."

  Don't be afraid, what can you protect me from? You will die in a few months, and I will have no way to do anything by then." Yin Xiang said in his heart.

  When the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox came, he was only less than one year old. Even if such a small baby wanted to save them, he would be powerless. The Nine-Tailed Fox would blow him to death with a breath.

  The smile on Yin Xiang's face slowly disappeared, and he squinted his eyes. Kushina thought that Yin Xiang was sleepy, so she picked him up and rocked him to sleep. Yin Xiang really fell asleep while rocking him. This baby's body is too easy to get sleepy.

  He slept until noon the next day. When he woke up, he was hungry. Fortunately, Kushina had nothing to do and stayed by Yin Xiang's side. When she saw Yin Xiang wake up, she showed him a beautiful smile.

  After that, he got a basin of water, wiped Yin Xiang's face and hands with a towel, and then fed Yin Xiang milk.

  Yin Xiang was full after drinking half a bottle of milk. With such a small stomach, he couldn't eat much.

  Yin Xiang spent his time like this until the day when Minato succeeded as Hokage. On the day when Minato succeeded as Hokage, all the villagers in the village gathered downstairs of the Hokage building. It was very lively. They all liked Minato, the Fourth Hokage, very much.

  Kushina held Yin Xiang and stood behind Minato. Looking at the Fourth Hokage fluttering on Minato's divine robe, Yin Xiang also had some yearning in his heart.

  Not long after Minato succeeded as Hokage, a "big thing" happened. Rin committed suicide on Kakashi's Raikiri. Kakashi was also very distressed about this matter. First he lost Obito, and then he killed Rin "with his own hands". Kakashi almost collapsed.

  At Minato's suggestion, Kakashi joined the Anbu, and his mission was to protect Kushina in secret.

  Because Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she was very vulnerable during pregnancy and needed protection. Minato was busy with official duties and often could not go home, so this task naturally fell to Kakashi.

  Kakashi never went in, but just silently guarded on the roof, and would appear immediately if there was any movement.

  Kushina's belly was getting bigger day by day, and Yin Xiang's boring baby period passed day by day. Every day, he just slept and ate.

  Because Kushina's belly was getting bigger day by day, it was inconvenient to take care of Yin Xiang, so she invited a wet nurse for Yin Xiang, who could take care of Kushina while taking care of Yin Xiang.
