Boom!

  Makoto Uchiha arrived at the Hokage Office door and knocked gently.

  "Please come in." Minato Namikaze’s slightly tired voice rang.

  Makoto opened the door and entered, "Minato-Senpai."

  "Makoto, you are here." Seeing Makoto Uchiha, Minato's eyes lit up.

  Makoto said Makotoly: "Minato-Senpai, I don't know, why have you asked me to come?"

  Minato responded: "You should know that I have ended Kakashi's escort Mission."

  "Yes." Makoto Uchiha nodded.

  "I want you to be Kushina’s guard for the rest of the time. Of course, the Third’s Anbu also serves beneath you so you do not have to protect her 24 hours a day, but only the mornings. Okay?"

  "Yes! I will do my best to protect Kushina-Senpai." Makoto Uchiha had also guessed this was going to happen, and now that Minato requested it, he would naturally not refuse.

  He just did not know how Minato will persuade the Third to agree to have Uchiha guard the Jinchuriki.

  He also does not know if Danzo has already got wind of this.

  After all, anything he is interested in, he will catch wind of.

  And Danzo, the old stooge, will not help at critical times, he will most probably do bad things to advance his interests.

  Makoto Uchiha naturally considered him.

  It is just that he currently has no way to deal with him, with his current identity, he does not have much room to move about.

  Fortunately, the main preparations are ready.

  "I don't have much worry about there being errors in the Village, but I recently discovered a very serious problem." Minato said with a solemn expression, "I asked the Konoha Barrier Team to send reports every day, and also told them to give me the reports for the last 6 months. When I examined the reports, I discovered the monitoring report for the last months is abnormal."

  Makoto Uchiha thought about that feeling of being watched during the training session with Kakashi today.

  "The report of the Barrier Team shows that the Barrier did have an unusual reaction in the past month, but no matter how we investigated, we could not find any obvious issue.

  So, I secretly ordered the Anbu to investigate and even they did not find any suspicious people.

  The Barrier of the Village does not only cover the ground, it also covers the sky and even the underground.

  Three months ago, the Underground Barrier had an abnormal reaction." Minato solemnly spoke.

  Because of Makoto's dream, he has been very tense in the past few months, especially when it comes to Kushina, any slight issue he finds, obtains his immediate and full attention.

  Makoto said Makotoly: "This means that someone might have sneaked in, but why didn't the Barrier Team notice an abnormal reaction three months ago, even then, why did they not report it?!"

  "The Barrier covers a wide range, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, there is no way we can keep it fully operational at all times.

  Therefore, we at times, make it smaller, though the range decreases, the Barrier can still detect any use of Chakra, including from Ninja who use the Transformation Technique."

  "How can we then guarantee that the enemy has not sneaked inside through small summoning beasts?"

  Regarding Makoto Uchiha’s doubts, Minato explained: “No matter how small a summoning beast, it still contains Chakra in its body, the Barrier can still detect it.

  As for the abnormal reaction of the Underground Barrier three months ago, I also sent someone to investigate it, I concluded that it was not a trace of human activity.

  So, we treated it as a beast by mistake, and later it was discovered that a wild boar had entered Konoha from the broken wall in the west.

  It seems that the enemy used it sneak it."

  "It seems that the enemy's stealth technique is quite good!" Makoto Uchiha thought of Zetsu. Only it can enter Konoha from the ground.

  He had sneaked into Konoha three months ago and its target was currently unknown.

  As for the recent abnormal reaction, it seems to have something to do with him.
  However, based on that feeling of being watched he had today, it is obvious that Obito has also sneaked into Konoha.

  Maybe the time left is not much.

  This made Makoto wary.

  But thinking of Warwick's powerful investigative ability, he calmed down a little.

  As long as he gets a certain distance around him, even if he deliberately hides his whereabouts, Warwick will be able to spot and warn him, which gave him confidence.

  At least Warwick has not failed him yet.

  However, this matter also left Makoto Uchiha with more thoughts.

  He thought about how to synthesize the remaining Basic Equipment.

  [Prowler’s Claw] One or two pieces of this Equipment must be made, just in case.

  In addition, he needs to increase Warwick's combat power!

  "This is what worries me the most. If there is an abnormal reaction but we can’t find what it came from, then it means danger has already arrived.

  Makoto, your worries are very reasonable!

  Jiraiya-Sensei has already replied, and he will be able to rush back to Konoha within two days.

  You have worked hard during this time! "Minato Namikaze solemnly said.

  "Yes!"

  "To deal with emergencies, I also figured out a solution." Minato Namikaze continued:

  "According to my plan, when Kushina gives birth, I will set up places where she can give birth, one real and one fake.

  Both locations are equipped with Barriers, and Anbu guards are arranged at the same time.

  Jiraiya-Sensei will guard the fake one, and I will accompany Kushina during labour.

  Once my side is attacked, I will immediately use Flying Thunder God and transfer Kushina away from danger, and then bring Jiraiya-Sensei to provide support.

  If Jiraiya-Sensei encounters the enemy, Sensei has the strength to delay the enemy until Kushina gives birth, I will then teleport to him.

  What do you think of this?"

  Makoto Uchiha frowned slightly, and said, "I want to ask, who else knows this plan?"

  "At present, only you and me, as well as the Third and the 3 Advisors. When Jiraiya-Sensei returns, I will explain this to him face to face." Minato answered and then added:

  "Of course, I will tell the Third and Jiraiya Sensei about the birthing sites and you as well."

  Makoto Uchiha looked thoughtful and shook his head: "This plan is very good, but it's not enough!"

  "It’s not enough?" Minato frowned slightly, waiting for Makoto to elaborate.

  Now that Danzo knows everything, something will go wrong with this plan.

  Uchiha Makoto explained: "There are seven people who know about the fake and real locations, and there are four who know the real birthing site.

  Too many people know!

  My suggestion is that both of the birthing sites are fake!"

  "All of them be fake?" Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up, and said: "You mean we should set up three locations, but everyone else knows only about 2 locations and no one knows about the third 'non-existent' real location."

  Makoto Uchiha nodded, and added: "Yes! The best way to keep a secret is to even cheat your allies.

  On the due day, Minato -Senpai, you bring Kushina-Senpai and Anbu to the fake location.

  Then, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Kushina-Senpai to the real location.

  Although this is more troublesome and consumes more manpower and material resources, the losses would be lower in case of an accident!

  The three locations will be in a triangle formation so that even if the enemy finds the real location, the Third and Jiraiya-Senpai can arrive and provide support to them at the fastest speed.

  The Third should stay between the two fake locations.

  Minato-Senpai, you don't need to tell me the real location, just tell me which direction the real site is near to on the due day.

  My Sharingan can change things at the critical moment!"

  To be honest, the real location only needs to have a Barrier and yourself, it does not matter if it has Anbu or not.

  After all, when the Anbu meet a real expert, they are mere cannon fodder.

  "Makoto! Thanks for your help! Thank you!" Minato Namikaze solemnly thanked him, he then took out a special kunai and handed it to him.

  "Minato-Senpai, no need to be polite! If it is okay, I'll go back now to prepare for tomorrow's Mission." Makoto Uchiha took the Kunai with a serious face.

  "Don't worry, tonight is Kakashi's birthday. Let us go for a family dinner together. Only when you are full will you have the strength to deal with the enemy!"

  "Makes sense! Then I’ll bother you!"

  Makoto Uchiha only hesitated for 0.5 seconds before accepting.

  Recently, his mother has started to study new dishes again, she has begun making these weird things called orange egg rolls, he would rather not eat that.
