God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 29

(Akame's POV)

Staring out from my bedroom window, the cool breeze gently brushed over my cheeks while the villagers celebrated my grandfather's 20th anniversary as the Uzukage.

"You say if you could fly
You'd never want to come back down
That you'd only have eyes
For that, for that, blue, blue sky..."

The warm, loving voice of Akahana singing soon filled my ears as she rocked back and forth on the bed behind me. Turning toward her, I couldn't help but smile.

Not long ago, I would have rung her neck, but... Somehow, I'm still reminded of the sisterly bond we had during the academy.

My eyes shifted to the large pregnancy bump that formed over the last 6 months. I could sense the evergrowing chakra coming from her unborn child.

"That song... I've heard Shinku sing it from time to time."

"Yeah. Shinku would always come by the shop for more than just equipment and a good time. He would always come by and captivate me with his songs. Not really something men do these days." Akahana chuckled lightly as she stroked her baby bump. Her eyes seemed almost distant.

"I get ehat you mean, while he didn't sing to me often like he did with you, he had his ways to captivate a heart."

I nodded and dropped onto the bed beside her feet. Letting out a soft sigh, I couldn't help but wonder what Shinku was up to while leaving her and the woman he got pregnant.

"Still. It's hard not to love him." Akahana smiled. I agree. But if he knows the truth, would he still feel the same way?

Just as I thought this...

"This Chakra..." It's unmistakably his chakra. Sensing the moment he arrived in Uzu, my heart pounded in anticipation.

With my other self gone, I was free to imagine my true feelings. And I was honestly a little scared.

I had no doubt that he wouldn't die out there with his strength. It was clear by how his Chakra felt that he was far from happy since he likely found nothing relating to himself.

"Shinku! Ugh..." Akahana leaped off the bed and attempted to waddle her way to Shinku, but the sudden entrance of Akahana's midwife, Lady Yuno, my mother Ruri, and Aunty.

"Ah. My lady, you must rest. Conserve your strength for childbirth, with how strong the young one is growing, the toll it will take on you later will only grow." Lady Yuno and I held her sides as she nearly tumbled.

"Tch. That bastard has some nerve coming back now after knocking you up and leaving." I frowned at my mother's words. Even before his awakening, she never approved of him.

"Mom. Please, not right now... Shinku isn't at fault. He already had plans to leave, and Akahana hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy until after."

"Screw that. The bastard should have been a lapdog, yet he runs around like he's better than everyone. He should have known that if you fuck recklessly then a baby was bound to happen." I sighed, knowing that even if I continued she would only rant even more.

"Ruri... Please settle down, some. Even if you aren't willing to admit it, he is indeed more powerful than our entire village. But that doesn't mean he's all knowing." Aunty Eto gently placed her hand onto mom's shoulder.
