Chapter 237 - 237 (2/2)

On his first day back on duty, Ryo actually met two couples of acquaintances.

The first couple was that of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, and the other was that of Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno.

The Uchiha's were here for a scheduled check-up; Mikoto was 4 months pregnant.

Ryo's attitude was normal to Fugaku, but Mikoto, who had no context on her husband link with Ryo, still felt flattered and a little uneasy facing his hospitality.

After the checkup, Ryo said with a smile: Fugaku san, the child is very healthy, so you can rest assured about that!”

Fugaku was glad to hear that, and returned home with his wife.

The Haruno couple came later that afternoon. They looked remarkable enough for Ryo to notice them; he just glanced at them and did not ask more.

This was the 3rd child that Ryo heard of that should be part of ”that class”. Before coming to the hospital, he heard words about Choza's wife also being pregnant.

After finishing his day at the hospital, Ryo returned home, just to find Inoichi chatting happily with Chinse.

Looking at how excited his clan's head was, and remembering what he saw today, Ryo guessed why Inoichi would be so happy.

Using his Spiritual Power, Ryo was able to sense a new faint life signal from Inoichi's wife's body.

”Congratulations Inoichi Ni-san!”

By the end of the following month, most of the major clanheads in Konoha had pregnancies in their families. Kushina also sent someone to Konoha's hospital to ask Ryo to come to her place.

With the overall context, Ryo immediately realized why he was being called by Kushina.

Sure enough, when he saw his teacher, Ryo immediately felt that her unborn child had much more vitality than the average fetus.

'That the reincarnation of Asura for you; he's stronger than most!' Ryo though to himself.

”Here you are Ryo, come in! Yesterday, Kurama had informed me that I'm pregnant!” Kushina excitedly said to Ryo.

”Congratulations Kushina! I can sense your child already; he's going to be a great Ninja!” Ryo answered with a smile.

When she heard Ryo say that, Kushina was very happy. As she was about to ask him about medical tips for dealing with pregnancy, Kurama suddenly said: ”Kushina, switch with me!”

As soon as she heard him, Kushina nodded and gave him control over body. Immediately, he blocked her consciousness from the outside world, and said to Ryo: ”Kid, Kushina's pregnancy, do you know what that means?”

”I suppose that her Jinchuriki seal should be weaker! However, with you now not wanting to takeover, should this matter much?”

The Kyubi snorted and said: ”I would not take the initiative to take over, but the weakening of the seal would still give a better chance to anyone trying to separate me from Kushina!”

Just hearing these words changed Ryo's face greatly. While he could not foresee a way for Kurama to be extracted from Kushina, the mere idea was still frightening.
