Chapter 164: The House Is Getting Livelier and Livelier!
Oborotsuki invaded Obito's Kamui different dimension, took Killer Bee away, and immediately returned to Kirigakure.
He wasn't in a hurry to seize the Gedo Statue.
When he arrived back in Kirigakure, he ran into Yūhi Kurenai and Konan. Both women looked preoccupied. Seeing Oborotsuki return carrying a big, burly guy on his shoulder, they didn't even have the energy to ask questions in detail.
"You came back at the perfect time, Oborotsuki. Kumogakure is here causing trouble."
Konan walked straight up to him and spoke immediately.
"This guy—is he another spy from some ninja village? But you'd better go over there. The people from Kumogakure look aggressive and definitely don't have good intentions…"
Yūhi Kurenai glanced curiously at Killer Bee on Oborotsuki's shoulder and reminded him.
"Looks like I came back just in time."
After hearing what his two wives said, Oborotsuki didn't explain much.
"I'll handle this matter. Don't worry."
With that, he carried Killer Bee toward the ANBU prison.
The people from Kumogakure were obviously here for Killer Bee anyway. He had no intention of handing the Eight-Tails back to them so easily.
It wasn't that Oborotsuki wanted the tailed beast for himself.
But if they returned the jinchūriki to Kumogakure, they didn't have the strength to protect him.
Rather than letting Killer Bee fall into Akatsuki's hands again later, it was better to keep him in Kirigakure.
Soon, Oborotsuki brought Killer Bee to the deepest level of Kirigakure's ANBU prison.
After locking him in the innermost cell and layering multiple sealing techniques, he instructed the ANBU to guard him strictly. Only then did he turn and leave.
As he passed by the isolated interrogation room, Oborotsuki's heart stirred. He walked straight toward the interrogation cell where Yekura was being held.
The heavy door opened. Yekura was sitting leisurely on the bed, lost in thought.
When she saw Oborotsuki enter, her face immediately lit up with joy.
"I'm here to take you out today."
Oborotsuki said directly.
"Really…?"
Yekura was stunned for a moment, feeling a little overwhelmed with pleasant surprise.
"Why would I lie to you? Let's go."
Oborotsuki stepped forward and gently took her hand.
Mikoto had already arrived in Kirigakure—it was time to bring Yekura out too.
That way, the whole family could be together, living happily.
"Oborotsuki…"
Just as they reached the door, Yekura suddenly became worried. She hesitated and quietly let go of his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Will the people in Kirigakure… dislike me?"
Yekura felt uncertain.
After all, in the past she had caused great losses to Kirigakure.
If they saw her as an enemy, would staying in Kirigakure now cause trouble for Oborotsuki?
At this moment, Yekura's mind was mainly filled with concern for Oborotsuki.
She hadn't really thought much about her own future.
"Don't worry. I've already arranged everything. There won't be any problems."
"In this village, who would dare show disrespect to a woman of mine—Hōzuki Oborotsuki?"
Oborotsuki patted his chest confidently, finally reassuring Yekura a little.
After leaving the ANBU prison with Yekura, he headed straight home. The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle—everything felt almost dreamlike.
Yekura raised her hand, looking at the blue sky through the gaps between her fingers, her mind a little dazed.
"You won't have to worry about anything from now on."
"I'll protect you."
Oborotsuki said with a smile.
"Protect only me?"
Hearing his words, Yekura immediately asked back meaningfully.
That question made Oborotsuki's heart stir. His gaze unconsciously drifted toward Yekura's belly.
"I was actually planning to ask you…"
Yekura noticed his look and smiled gently: "What should we name our child?"
As she spoke, she softly stroked her belly.
Hearing this, Oborotsuki immediately showed a warm smile:
"Any name is fine. The most important thing is that our family lives happily together."
"Mm…"
Yekura felt very happy upon hearing this.
She nodded obediently.
"Come on, let's go home first. We'll talk about the baby's name later."
"I want to introduce you to a few good sisters."
Oborotsuki said with a playful smile.
"Good sisters?"
Yekura was stunned when she heard that.
Oborotsuki didn't explain. He simply pulled her along and soon arrived home.
Since Kushina and Mayumi were both at work, and Yūhi Kurenai and Konan had returned to the Mizukage building, the house was quiet.
Only Mikoto and little Sasuke were there, along with a few female ninja helping take care of little Karin and little Naruto.
When Mikoto saw Oborotsuki return home, she was very happy and took the initiative to greet him and help him take off his outer coat.
"This is…?"
Mikoto looked curiously at Yekura, while Yekura was also curiously sizing up Mikoto.
"This is Mikoto. Mikoto, her name is Yekura."
"From now on, we're all one family."
Oborotsuki smiled warmly as he introduced the two women to each other. Mikoto was slightly stunned at first, but she quickly showed a gentle smile:
"This house really is getting livelier and livelier…"
"Welcome to the family, Yekura."
"Please take care of me, Mikoto-nee."
Yekura smiled back warmly at Mikoto's kindness while giving Oborotsuki a meaningful glance.
However, neither Mikoto nor Yekura were the unreasonable or oblivious type. Both were perceptive and understood the situation.
They both clearly knew why they were here—and they both clearly understood that a man like Oborotsuki would never have just one woman.
So rather than feeling dissatisfied or throwing tantrums at the current reality, it was better to accept it peacefully.
Fighting against this man would bring them no benefit.
The world outside was stormy and chaotic. If they left Kirigakure, how could they possibly find peace and safety?
"Is little Sasuke sleeping again?"
Oborotsuki didn't care what the two women were thinking right now.
He smiled as he walked toward Mikoto and playfully teased little Sasuke in her arms. This little guy always fell asleep right after eating.
Such a carefree state was truly enviable.
"Is this your baby?"
Yekura, who was about to become a mother herself, also noticed little Sasuke in Mikoto's arms. She immediately walked over happily.
"Yes, his name is Sasuke."
Mikoto replied warmly.
"What a nice name. I wonder whether the one in my belly is a boy or a girl…"
Yekura said softly while gently stroking her belly.
Hearing this, Mikoto was a little surprised. She glanced at Oborotsuki, received a meaningful look from him, then turned back to Yekura with a smile:
"So you're pregnant too? That's wonderful!"
"By the way, Oborotsuki—Yekura doesn't have her own room yet, right? I noticed there's still an empty bedroom upstairs. Should we arrange it for her?"
Mikoto looked at Oborotsuki and asked.
"Of course, no problem."
"In this house, you two can make decisions about anything. Don't treat yourselves like outsiders."
"Then, Mikoto—could you show Yekura around the house and help her get familiar with everything? I still have some work to handle."
After saying that, Oborotsuki turned to Yekura, gave her a nod without further explanation, gave Mikoto a few more instructions, and then turned to leave.
