512 Starting from One Piece

In the following days, Kaito stayed home with Kaguya, and during that time Yugao and Kurenai would frequently come over to look after her.

As a peak Six Paths-level powerhouse, Kaguya naturally didn't need that kind of care, but she genuinely enjoyed being fussed over like this.

After all, ever since the day she arrived on this planet, she had lived constantly on edge. She had finally used the power of the God Tree to give birth to two children—both famous for their extreme filial piety—and the life she had now was something she had never experienced before.

That day, as usual, Kaguya sat on the sofa resting. She gently stroked her belly and said to Kaito beside her,

"I feel the baby in my belly keeps moving!"

Hearing that, Kaito immediately pressed his ear against her belly. Suddenly, a soft, milky "Daddy" came from inside Kaguya's stomach.

"!?"

That one "Daddy" stunned Kaito so much that he froze. He shot upright, startling Kaguya.

She hurriedly asked,

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with the baby?"

Kaito stiffly turned his head toward her and slowly asked,

"Didn't you hear anything just now?"

Kaguya shook her head and said,

"No, did you mean the baby's movements?"

"No! She just called me Daddy!"

"How is that possible? Black Zetsu!"

Black Zetsu came running in from outside holding a broom, and as soon as she entered she shouted,

"Eh! I'm here, Mama! What did you call me for?"

Kaguya asked,

"You just called Daddy?"

"No, I've been sweeping snow outside this whole time!"

Kaito raised his hand to stop her. He pressed his ear to Kaguya's belly again and whispered,

"Alright, it really was the child in your belly. As expected of my kid—calling me Daddy before even being born!"

Black Zetsu was completely confused. She exclaimed,

"Nani? How can that be!?"

Kaito gently placed his hand on Kaguya's stomach and softly said,

"You should be able to hear me, right? Are you trying to come out?"

The moment he finished speaking, a pair of tiny hands appeared as a pattern on Kaguya's belly. The hands kept moving, as if trying to touch Kaito.

Kaguya's expression changed. She grabbed Kaito's shoulder and cried anxiously,

"The baby seems to be coming out!"

Kaito hurriedly held her and softly said,

"Don't be afraid, I'll just—"

He was planning to use his ability to remove the baby directly, but before he could finish, a door suddenly appeared on Kaguya's belly. The door slowly opened, and a little girl who looked over a year old floated out.

This scene stunned all three of them. Kaguya only felt her body lighten, and the next moment the child simply appeared before her.

Right after the child emerged, Kaguya's body returned to its original state—things like "getting out of shape after childbirth" simply didn't apply to her.

The little girl floated straight into Kaito's arms. He instinctively caught her and looked down. Though small, her long snow-white hair already reached her waist, perfectly covering her tiny bottom.

Her skin was snow-pale and smooth, like a delicate porcelain doll.

But the most striking feature was her blood-red eyes. In each eye, six black tomoe clustered like petals, radiating an eerie brilliance.

Kaito examined them and found that the power within these eyes was inexhaustible. He suspected they were a mutated version of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

And what had just happened was clearly the ability of the Door-Door Fruit—proof that she'd inherited one of the Devil Fruit powers he had absorbed in the past.

While he was thinking, the girl called out "Daddy," snapping him back to reality. This time she also called Kaguya "Mama."

Kaguya smiled so brightly her eyes curved like crescent moons. She reached out and took the child from Kaito, holding and gently rocking her the way she'd learned from Kushina over the past days.

...

Even though the child was no longer an infant, she clearly enjoyed it. Seeing this sight, Kaito couldn't help but smile.

Black Zetsu was thrilled as well. She clapped her hands and said,

"Little sister is too cute!"

The girl looked up at Black Zetsu and called out sweetly,

"Big sister!"

Black Zetsu instantly melted into a puddle on the floor. Her whole body tingled with bliss, and she could barely maintain her shape.

From this moment on, a brand-new sister-obsessed fanatic was born.

Kaguya looked at Kaito and said,

"We should give the baby a name. What do you think we should call her?"

Kaito had long prepared names for both a boy and a girl. Without even thinking, he said,

"Sakuya! My daughter will be named Uchiha Sakuya!"

Sakuya clapped her tiny hands and giggled. It was obvious she liked her name very much.

She hopped down from Kaguya's arms, landed on the floor, and wrapped herself tightly around Kaito's leg, murmuring,

"Li… like, Sakuya likes it!"

Kaito squatted down and hugged her. At this moment, he truly felt his life was complete.

The entire room was filled with warmth. Suddenly, Minato burst in from outside and shouted,

"Kaito! I'm here to learn how to make—eh? Thi—this!?"

Minato froze the moment he saw Sakuya in Kaito's arms.

Sakuya looked at Minato and called out,

"Minato-san!"

Kaito was surprised again. He couldn't help asking,

"Little Sakuya, you know him?"

Sakuya nodded, speaking more fluidly now,

"He often comes with Kushina-san to see Mama. I've seen him!"

Kaito paused for a moment, then pointed to a wall and said,

"Sakuya, what's behind that wall?"

"Mm… a big tree, and a little golden bird on it!"

Kaguya and Kaito exchanged a look—now certain that Sakuya's eyes also possessed the Byakugan's vision ability, but in full color.

Minato stood there dumbfounded. He swallowed hard and asked,

"Kaito, don't tell me… this is your daughter?"

Kaito nodded and replied,

"What else? Look at her—doesn't she look like me?"

"...She does, but are you sure this is a newborn? She could go to kindergarten already!"

"Any problem with that? She's my daughter. Being special is normal."

Sakuya put her hands on her hips, instantly overwhelming Minato with her cuteness.

He couldn't resist trying to hug her, but Sakuya suddenly lifted her tiny hand. A powerful repulsive force burst from her palm, sending Minato flying right out the door.

Sakuya floated into Kaito's arms and said with a pouty, muffled voice,

"No! Only Daddy and Mama can hold me!"
