After receiving Yahiko's location report, Torifu immediately teleported the couple to Yahiko's location.

This is a building near a park, located in the inner city. It's reasonably close to the hill behind the city, about a half-hour walk each day.

It's faster by bike.

Yahiko looked at the two unfamiliar men and women beside Torifu, wondering what had happened.

Qu Feng glanced at the couple again: "We've done what we promised. Let my apprentice take you there for the rest. Oh, and remember to give them the proof."

"Live well and work hard in Konoha Village. Konoha Village will not let down those who work hard."

Then it turned into clouds and disappeared.

Yahiko accepted the job without really understanding what was going on.

"Although I don't know the situation, since Master has entrusted you two to me, I will take you to your lodgings."

The two were clearly still in a daze, and only understood after Yahiko said that: "Okay! Okay!"

As they followed Yahiko into the building where they would live, the couple still felt like it was all a dream.

It's as if I'll be back to my original state after I wake up.

"My lord... is all of this real? Does this place truly belong to us?"

When Yahiko heard the woman's question, he smiled and said, "Of course, my master has already given this house to you. Although I don't know the reason, since he made the decision, he won't go back on his word."

"No, no, no! We are not worried that Lord Qufeng will go back on his word. We just find it hard to believe... that such a good thing could happen to us."

Yahiko understood this feeling, after all, he had experienced it himself at some point.

"My master is... well, how should I put it, he has a kind heart, and he often spreads that kindness."

"I was an orphan when I was a child. My master picked me up from the Land of Rain. If it weren't for my master, I don't know what would have become of me today."

"So now that we have a house and have settled down in Konoha, we should just live a good life and not think about anything else."

After being comforted by Yahiko, the couple's mood improved considerably.

"I think you're pregnant too? How many months along are you?"

After hearing this, the woman carefully stroked her belly and said, "My lord, I'm already five months along."

This surprised Yahiko: "Five months already? Is your belly only this big?"

I remember when Tsunade was five months pregnant, her belly was already quite large.

I'm already seven months pregnant and will be giving birth in a few more months, so I'm currently focusing on resting and preparing for the baby.

The surgeries at the hospital have all been handed over to Tsuna.

The woman's belly, though five months along, was only just beginning to take shape.

It seems the family was quite poor, so the baby didn't get much nutrition while in the womb.

"Your belly doesn't look like you're five months pregnant at all, it's so small!"

The woman was also somewhat saddened by this: "My lord, you don't know, but since our family moved to the new Water Kingdom's capital, we have lost our source of income."

“The new capital is far from the sea, so my husband’s fishing skills have nowhere to be used. The surrounding rivers are all small rivers with little catch, so our family is getting poorer and poorer.”

Yahiko understood then that they were all people with tragic fates.

After the Water Kingdom relocates, the country will indeed gain a lot of financial benefits from communicating with other countries.

But these things have absolutely nothing to do with ordinary people. The money is all used for the country's development and construction, but these are all on a large scale.

It is of very little use at the grassroots level.

That's why this situation occurred in the royal city. Yahiko often went out and made his way in the news.

"I see. I suggest you go to the hospital in Konoha Village for a check-up as soon as possible, so as not to affect the fetus in your womb."

"Living conditions in Konoha Village are definitely much better now. If the doctor says you need tonics, try to eat more nourishing foods."

The woman nodded repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "We understand."

Yahiko then handed them the house certificate: "This is the house certificate. You can think of it as a land deed. As long as you have this, this house belongs to you."

The couple thanked Yahiko profusely once again, but Yahiko couldn't bear the scene and made an excuse to leave.

After Yahiko left, the couple sat on the sofa in silence for a long time.

Both of them felt as if the day was a dream.

Just twenty minutes earlier, they were worried about making a living, and the man decided to risk becoming disabled by carrying heavy objects to support his family.

But now they have arrived in the inner city of Konoha Village and settled into a beautifully decorated house.

All kinds of electrical appliances and household equipment are available.

Moreover, the woman was still holding the five thousand taels of cash that Qu Feng had given her.

All of this made the two of them hard to believe.

"Do you think Lord Qufeng really just acted out of kindness?"

"Didn't I say it was a bet with the Mizukage? We're really just lucky ones."

The wife was happy, but this happiness brought tears instead of smiles.

This is a cry of triumph after hardship.

She leaned on her husband's shoulder and burst into loud sobs.

The man lay on the sofa, tilting his head back, tears silently streaming down his face.

……

“Master, the house has been given to them, and I also discovered that the woman is five months pregnant.”

Qu Feng was shocked upon hearing this: "What? Five months pregnant?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The crystal has only just started to show some signs of pregnancy. How could she already be five months pregnant?"

Yahiko couldn't understand what his master was saying, so he could only tell his master what he knew.

"The couple was so poor that they didn't have enough to eat or wear, which may be related to that."

After much thought, Qu Feng concluded that this was perhaps the only possibility. Maybe the fetus was developing too slowly and news wouldn't arrive until it was truly stable.

"Here's what we'll do: go and send them another five thousand taels. We'll have to save this child no matter what."

Yahiko asked with some confusion, "Master... why do you care so much about this couple's child?"

Yahiko had a bold guess in his mind, but he abandoned it in just a second because it was impossible.

“The child in their womb is no ordinary child; it is the reincarnation of your master’s friend, Whirlpool Qinghe.”

Yahiko was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this: "What? Uzumaki Aokawa-senpai? The second prince of the Land of Whirlpools?"

Qu Feng nodded: "When your master's wife and I went to the Pure Land, we saw his soul. I did some tampering, so I can sense him after he was reincarnated."

Oh, I see. That makes sense now.
