The birthing hall smelled of sweat, sacred oils, and newborn warmth.
Sakura lay curled around Emiko, hair damp, breasts leaking fresh milk as her baby suckled noisily.
Naruto kissed her forehead, exhaustion heavy in his limbs, when a sudden sharp gasp tore through the calm.
"Ino…?"
He turned.
She was gripping the side of her birthing mat, nails digging into the silk, face flushed crimson as her belly tightened hard under her robe.
"Fuck— it's starting—"
Her voice broke into a moan as another contraction rolled through, this one so strong it sent a ripple of chakra outward, rattling nearby candles.
The midwife was already at her side, hands glowing as she pressed to Ino's swollen belly.
"First twin is descending," she said calmly, though her eyes were wide at the chakra readings. "You must breathe, Lady Ino. Two lives rely on it."
Ino's robe was stripped away.
Her belly gleamed with sweat under the sacred lantern light, wide and heavy, visibly shifting as the first baby moved lower.
She panted hard, breasts bouncing as her hips rocked involuntarily.
"N-Naruto—!"
He was there in an instant, gripping her hand, pressing his forehead to hers.
"I'm here. I'm right here."
She whimpered, tears spilling.
"It hurts so much more than last time—"
"I know," he whispered, kissing her trembling lips.
"You're so strong, Ino. You're perfect."
Another contraction hit.
She screamed this time — a raw, primal sound that filled the chamber and sent a surge of chakra along her thighs.
Between her legs, the midwife pressed down.
"First twin is crowning."
Ino sobbed.
"Get it out— please— get him out—"
Naruto kissed her cheek again and again.
"Push," he whispered.
"Push for me."
She bore down.
Moaned.
Cried out.
Her pussy stretched wide, slick and shining as the head emerged — pale blonde hair matted to newborn skin.
"One more," the midwife urged.
Ino screamed, her entire body arching off the mat, milk spraying from her nipples as the first twin slid free in a rush of wetness and chakra glow.
A boy.
Crying immediately, chakra flickering sky-blue.
Ino collapsed back, sobbing, shaking.
But the midwife didn't pause.
"Second twin is already descending."
Ino's eyes flew wide in exhausted terror.
"Already—?!"
Naruto gripped her face in both hands.
"You've got this," he whispered fiercely.
"You're the strongest kunoichi I know. Now push."
And as another contraction ripped through her womb…
She did.
