Inuzuka had not only shinobi but also his partner to challenge, but there were no other clan dogs willing to attack Kuromaru, who was about the size of a small horse. Given that I had worked on him a bit during the war, increasing his physical characteristics, it was hard to expect otherwise.
The clansmen grumbled for about a month, but they accepted it, and my frequent appearance (treating the torn idiot and examining the fetus) in the desire to support, helped - Inuzuka, thanks to the partner, were aware of my combat capabilities a little more than others, and animal partners could determine the degree of danger of a person much better than a man.
In general, the more the term went on, the more diligently the clansmen avoided getting in front of the irritated leader - if in her normal state Tsume had a heavy character and was quick to retaliate, then in her pregnant state she was able to terrorize the entire area. The only exceptions were Tsebami for obvious reasons and me, thanks to the shadows that could fix the mother-to-be without harming her. Even Kuromaru preferred to stay out of the house, hiding in the kennel.
- It's all right, it's good for them to get a beating," the kunoichi snorted.
- You know, chakra chakra chakra, but in the seventh month it is better not to resort to intense physical exertion, - frowned, shook his head, not approving such a frivolous attitude.
With a familiar effort I activated the basic iryonin technique and knelt down in front of the pregnant girl and put my hand on her bulging belly, assessing the baby's condition. A thorough scan revealed a well-growing baby girl without any abnormalities or damage, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. Sometimes I feel like I worry more about Tsume's condition than she should.
- Thankfully, she's fine, but Tsume, no jumping on rooftops in this condition, Kuromaru has already complained - or do you want me to seal your chakra control since you can't touch the source? I can! - I glared menacingly at my friend with my arms at my sides, fully supported by the older kunoichi. - You need to think about the baby's health and your own right now.
- Okay, don't start," Inuzuka sighed, waving it away, "I can recite your lectures by heart.
The kunoichi, who was very mobile and unable to stay still for long, found the forced restrictions quite hard to deal with.
- But you're in no hurry to comply," I shook my head and turned to Tsebami, who was silently watching us. - If Tsume continues like this, there's a risk of premature labor, which is not good for the baby's health.
