Chapter 437 Kaguya, We Have a Child
A Leo woman only reveals her softness and vulnerability after she completely trusts someone.
Kaguya Otsutsuki silently told herself, "Trust me one more time, trust the man in front of me."
Uchiha Mitsunori noticed her subtle movements and knew that her anxiety and unease had completely dissipated.
He gently turned her face, slowly leaned down, and kissed her lips.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was startled, her pupils contracted slightly, clearly not expecting him to kiss her suddenly, and her body froze instantly.
But just a second later, she relaxed and gently touched his lips with the tip of her tongue.
A thousand years of loneliness and pain, a thousand years of waiting and longing, all seemed to gradually melt away in this kiss.
She responded to his deep affection in her own way, conveying her feelings to him without reservation.
After a long while, Uchiha Mitsunori slowly stepped back, his forehead touching hers, their noses meeting, their breaths mingling, and their heartbeats clearly audible in the quiet space, like synchronized drumbeats.
"Kaguya, let's watch our children grow up together, and see all the clans of the ninja world join hands to explore the galaxy, okay?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the longing in his eyes and softly hummed in agreement, as if making a lifelong promise.
The pain of a thousand years is indeed terrible, but the warmth and protection before her eyes are even more precious. She cannot give up the happiness before her eyes and the opportunity to walk hand in hand with her beloved into the future because of the shadows of the past.
She stared intently at the three peaks for a long time before nodding, her voice carrying the domineering air unique to Leos: "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mitsunori was overjoyed and hugged her tightly: "Kaguya, thank you! Thank you for believing in me! I promise you, I will never let you down, and I will never let you suffer any more injustice."
Kaguya nestled in his arms, feeling his joy: "I believe you. But remember, every word you say today counts. If you don't, I won't forgive you."
Uchiha Mitsunori nodded vigorously: "Of course it stands! In this life and the next, I will never go back on my word! Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will fulfill my promise today!"
He never imagined that Kaguya would agree to his proposal so easily, or trust him so completely.
It takes immense determination for someone who has been betrayed by their closest loved ones to muster the courage to conceive a new life.
Uchiha Mitsunori felt a warmth in his heart, his eyes slightly warmed, and he raised his hand to gently caress her cheek. His fingertips traced her delicate skin, wiping away the barely noticeable wetness at the corner of her eyes. The deep affection in his eyes was almost overflowing, so intense it was impossible to ignore.
His hands were tightly around her waist, giving her no chance to escape, and his kisses were deep and focused.
After a long while, he slowly stepped back, his eyes burning as he looked at her, as if making the most sacred vow: "I will never betray you. Our child will be proud of you, will cherish you, and will never let you suffer any more injustice. I swear as the king of the ninja world, I swear in the name of the three peaks of the Uchiha clan, that in this life, you alone will protect you, love you, and cherish you forever."
The two fell silent again, simply embracing each other as if trying to integrate each other into their lives, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat, and enjoying this rare tranquility and happiness.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently stroked her long hair, his movements tender and soothing. His fingertips brushed against her hair, feeling her presence, and his heart was filled with contentment.
Kaguya buried her face in his chest, holding him tightly with her arms wrapped around him, feeling his heartbeat and deep affection, feeling this reassuring warmth, and her thousand years of loneliness vanished at this moment.
Time seemed to move exceptionally slowly in the Primordial Space, every minute and every second filled with warmth and tacit understanding.
There was no outside noise, no power struggles, no ethnic barriers, only deep affection for each other and aspirations for the future.
At this moment, they were not the king of the ninja world and the progenitor of chakra, but simply a pair of lovers who cherished each other and wanted to stay together like this until the end of time.
Uchiha Mitsunori knew that today's visit had achieved its purpose. It not only comforted Kaguya and eased her anxiety caused by the arrival of a new concubine, but also deepened the bond between the two, and even led to the most important promise of their lives.
He successfully dispelled Kaguya's concerns, making her willing to join hands with him to create a new life. For him, this was something more gratifying than unifying the ninja world or expanding the galaxy; it was the greatest achievement of his life.
He could clearly feel that Kaguya's feelings for him had changed from initial wariness and distance to dependence and trust. This transformation was something he had earned with countless acts of tenderness and companionship; it was his most precious treasure.
He wished time could stand still at this moment, so he could forever enjoy this warmth and happiness, forever hold the person in his arms, and never be separated again.
But he knew that he still had many things to do and many responsibilities to shoulder.
He gently patted Kaguya's back, his gesture tender and reluctant, indicating that he was leaving.
Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed to sense his thoughts, tightening her grip on his arm and burying her head even deeper.
Uchiha Mitsunori's heart softened, and he lowered his head to place another gentle kiss on her forehead.
The kiss was filled with tenderness as he softly comforted her, "I know you're reluctant to part, and so am I. I wish I could be with you every moment, never leaving your side. But I have a lot of things to take care of. I'll come see you as soon as I'm done, okay?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't speak, but simply nodded, her long eyelashes trembling gently on his clothes, her eyes filled with reluctance and anticipation.
"I'll wait for you here. Things at the palace are important. Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Uchiha Mitsunori grasped her hand, his fingers tracing her palm: "I'll be back as soon as possible. Take care of yourself, don't overthink things, and if anything happens, contact me with your chakra."
After a long while, Uchiha Mitsunori gently released her hand, his fingers lightly tracing across her palm as if leaving his mark. He looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
"I should go back now. I need to visit the other princesses so they won't feel uneasy. With a new princess in the family, they're prone to overthinking. If I stay here with you, it will inevitably cause unnecessary suspicion, which is not good for the unity of the clan."
Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded slightly, without trying to stop her. However, the aloofness in her eyes had completely faded, replaced by a hint of reluctance and understanding at their parting.
She understood his difficulties and his responsibilities, so she didn't complain. She would just wait silently for his return and be his strongest support.
Uchiha Mitsuhō raised his hand, gathering chakra once more. Pure white light emanated from his fingertips, originating from the same source as Kaguya's chakra. He drew a rift in the void, and on the other side of the rift, the star-velvet corridor of the royal palace could be vaguely seen.
He stepped forward and embraced her again, giving her a deep and long hug: "Once I've finished dealing with things at the palace, I'll arrange everything as soon as possible and spend more time with you."
Kaguya Otsutsuki nestled in his arms, feeling his last warmth: "I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you."
After saying that, Uchiha Mitsunori reluctantly released her and stepped into the spatial gate.
The moment his figure disappeared, the spatial rift quietly closed, and the Primordial Space returned to its former tranquility.
The night sky was as dark as ink, and the stars as bright as diamonds, turning the entire sky into the most magnificent brocade.
The reluctance I felt when I parted from Kaguya during the day still lingers in my heart.
He lightly raised his finger, and a crack appeared in the void, releasing the unique fragrance of the Ancestral Space.
The moment you step into the crevice, all the noise from the outside world is completely shut out.
Kaguya Otsutsuki changed into a white robe embroidered with golden magatama. Unlike the coldness and loss she felt when they parted during the day, this robe seemed to be filled with soft starlight.
"You're back."
Hearing footsteps, Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly turned around, a hint of barely perceptible joy hidden within her, like a lover who had been waiting for a long time finally returning.
Uchiha Mitsunori strode forward and, without saying a word, pulled her into a tight embrace.
His warm chest enveloped her, carrying the coolness of the stars outside, and also a sense of security that belonged only to him.
"Kaguya, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. As soon as the matter at the royal palace was settled, I came over immediately."
Kaguya Otsutsuki gently wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, all her unease vanished.
"Sanfeng, I know you're busy... It's good that you could come..."
After a long while, Uchiha Mitsunori gently released her and raised his hand to stroke her cheek: "Kaguya, tonight, I want you to belong to me completely."
Kaguya Otsutsuki lowered her eyes slightly, a faint blush rising at the tips of her ears, her long eyelashes trembling gently, and then she nodded slightly.
He placed a deep kiss on her forehead, wrapped his other arm tightly around her waist, and then returned to the tatami mat in the bedroom.
......
At this moment, the air is filled with a rich sense of life and sweet affection.
Without the constraints of being a king or ancestor, there were only two people in love, continuing their love in the purest way.
"Ding, the host has intervened in the River of Time... the talents of future generations are being enhanced..."
"It's done... Kaguya... We're having a baby..."
"Kaguya, feel it, this is the fruit of our love... this little life we created together..."
Kaguya Otsutsuki clearly felt a tiny life forming within her. It was a wondrous stirring, carrying the essence of her and Mitsume, and even more so, the blood ties that bound them together.
She slowly opened her eyes, gently stroking her lower abdomen, her heart filled with an unprecedented tenderness and anticipation.
"Hmm, I can feel it, this little guy seems... very active..."
