I don't own Naruto
Chapter one - he ran
He had done it, he had brought Sasuke back. Both of them stood at the gate wounded, injured, but alive. The guards at the gate grabbed them and rushed them to the hospital. Everything was going to be okay. Everything was going to go back to normal.
Naruto woke in the hospital. Not in pain, well, at least not physically. Things were going to go back to normal. Sasuke was going to become hero cause he killed Orochimaru and Itachi, he'll be welcomed back with open arms. He knew cause he heard the nurse say it.
What Naruto didn't want was normal, cause normal meant bad, and bad meant worse for him. Not that he was scared, he wasn't anymore. He just didn't want to go back to that. Stepping up to the window he looked and saw the welcoming party for Sasuke.
Everyone hugged or shook his hand, even some of the teachers. Naruto winced, he would have to leave once his wounds were healed, he couldn't stay. No one knew this not even Tsunade, he was pregnant. About 3 months pregnant, with Itachi's child.
---flashback---
Naruto smiled until he came upon the hotel room, he knew who was behind that door. He was on a solo mission, just grabbing a scroll for Tsunade. Naruto opened and closed the door quickly but quietly.
"Hello Naruto," came a voice from the body on the bed.
"Hello Itachi," replied Naruto.
Naruto didn't know why he was here, but he knew that he wasn't going to be taken away, it was too easy. He also felt a life altering moment was going to happen.
"I'm going to make a deal with you," Itachi started. Naruto shivered in anticipation, "but what if I don't want to make a deal with you?"
Itachi smirked just like Sasuke, but is was also different, "oh, but you do Naruto. You see I have left the Akatsuki, or rather I have killed them all. In order to finish my mission, you see, I never betrayed Konoha, it was mostly all a set up. I did not kill my clan, Madara Uchiha did, so it was my mission to kill him. Although it took longer than planned, The third hokage add more to my mission while I was on it. I was to spy on the Akatsuki, and take them down if I could. Which in the end I have, but you see I can return to Konoha, because the third is no longer in power. Now that I have completed my mission I will make a deal with you, and you will take it," Itachi looked at Naruto straight in the eyes, and that was when Naruto realized Itachi was blind.
"I see you have figured it out, do not pity me, I do not want it. As for the deal. I will impregnate you, and as for what you get in return, Sasuke will come back, to his home in Konoha." Itachi breathed in deeply waiting for scream, a yell, anything that Naruto like.
Nothing, Naruto didn't do anything except ask a single question, "why?"
Itachi smirked, "No one knows this, not even Sasuke. For the clan to be revived I have to do it, and I will for Sasuke, since he can not do it himself." Naruto looked utterly confused.
"Sasuke is infertile," everything hit like a ton of bricks, Itachi really wasn't an evil person, he just stuck with the worse job ever.
"Why are you doing this for him? Why did you taunt him? Why did you make him believe it was you?" Itachi's face soften a little, which startled Naruto, "I'm doing it, because it's one of his goals he can never achieve, because even though he does hate me, I do not hate him, he is my brother and I love him, as a brother should. As his older brother I know how Sasuke is, he wouldn't have understood at such a young age, and I knew I wasn't coming back, I made him believe it was me because he would have something to live for and someone to blame. He needed the motivation otherwise he would have withered away." Itachi looked sad at his last statement.
Naruto understood, Itachi lived the greatest regret, and accepted that. Naruto knew he could make this deal, granted it would be a long time before things really happened, but he knew it was him who had to do it.
Itachi stood and walked over to Naruto, "even though you may not believe me Naruto, I am going to show you was true love feels like, cause even though it is a deal, I am also doing this for myself." Naruto looked shock and Itachi took that time to claim his mouth.
---end flashback---
Naruto knew what true love felt like, cause Naruto fell in love that night with Itachi. Naruto understood Itachi and the pain he went through to protect his loved ones. Itachi had protected him as well, from the Akatsuki, although he didn't realize it at the time.
Naruto stepped away from the window, now that Sasuke was back. It was time for Naruto to quit. He had a family now, and he had to leave before it was too late. After Naruto had really thought about, he had to leave, so his children would not be hurt by the villagers as he was. He had to protect his kits.
Naruto turned as the door opened. What he did not expect was to see Hinata and Kakashi standing at the door, he welcomed them in, as the masked Naruto would do.
"Hey Hinata-chan! Kakashi-sensei! What are ya'll doing up here, I thought you would be with everyone else!" he smiled cause that is what the masked Naruto would do.
Hinata looked serious, "we know Naruto, that you're pregnant." Hinata was still a reserved person, and would blush with certain conversations, but she had a lot more confidence now.
Kakashi nodded in agreement, "what are you going to do, and who is the father?"
Kakashi actually sounded concerned, like a father would. Naruto looked away, out the window and into the distance, "I'm going to go away, and never come back. I may visit, but never to return here as my home. I will not let my children go through what I did. I will not put that on someone with a choice. I'm tired now, and I want to rest. Everything will be fine now. Orochimaru and Kabuto are dead, along with the Akatsuki and Itachi," Naruto grimly smiled at 'his' name, "I'll be fine. I know where I can go where I am welcomed."
Kakashi understood that Naruto had lived a many life times, and he was done. There was no long evil in this world that would need his help to defeat, he had a right to take a rest. But still who was the father, "Naruto, who is the father?"
Naruto stood and looked outside where Sasuke once stood, "the father is the brother of who is infertile. You find out sooner than you think. I made a deal, I'm just holding up my end of it."
Naruto then disappeared with a poof, and directly in his apartment. He had very few things, and right now he was glad for that. Packing what he needed, until he reached his new home. He had been planning this since his meeting with Itachi, he was going to stay with a family he had met on his travels with Jiraiya. He had written a few weeks ago, and they would love for him to stay with them. He had gotten really close to them when Jiraiya had ditched him for two months.
During his time with them, he helped around the house, and helped rebuild the house, since he had broken it. When he had finished rebuilding it, they told him, whenever he need a home to go to, they would be there. He had never felt more loved, cause they knew his secret and knew everything about him. Jiraiya had told them, without Naruto's knowledge, that his father wanted him to be a hero. They agreed, he protected his village everyday. Now he needed protecting for not only him, but his family.
Naruto closed the door, with out thinking, he locked, but laughed. He wouldn't be returning. Heading to the landlords door, he knocked.
"Hi, just returning this. I'm moving out, thank you for letting me stay for as long as I have!" Naruto smiled returning the key.
The landlord shook his head, he never really hated the kid. He really was their hero.
Naruto walked the long distance to the hokage tower. Looks were still there, the ones of hate, but he didn't give them a second glance, it was the last time.
Naruto knocked on the door, "it's open!"
Naruto walked in quietly and stood in front of his hokage. He set his forehead protector in front of her, "I, Naruto Uzumaki, am resigning as jounin shonbi for Konoha. I will no longer serve Konoha as a ninja, but as a citizen. In which as my choice as a citizen, I am leaving. I was proud to serve as a ninja, but I feel as though I am done with my job." Naruto bowed deeply to the hokage.
Tsunade was not only startled but shocked beyond belief, she had the power to deny Naruto the right to resign, but when he bowed, he really was done. She smiled sadly, she had no point in keeping him, the battle was fought and they had won. He had no purpose.
She smirked as he rose from his bow when she said nothing, "only on one condition." Naruto didn't like this
"In 5 to 20 years, you will return to become hokage of this village," Naruto's eyes widen. He didn't want to return, but it was his only way of getting out of the village now.
If he did the math correctly he would need 14 years until he child will take the genin exam, but it was difficult for outsiders to take the exam unless in the school already.
Naruto smirked as well, "I will accept them if you grant me one request when I return?" she narrowed her eyes at him, but nodded, "what is your request?"
"Well I don't know yet, but I'll figure something out, just gotta keep an open mind." he smiled, and waved. He poofed out of the room before heading to the academy.
He knew this would hurt the chunin teacher greatly, but he had worked on a letter before hand.
"Hello Kakashi," Naruto stated plainly.
"Hey Naruto, want me to leave a message for Iruka?" asked Kakashi not looking away from his book.
"Well there is a couple of things, give this to him, and please don't read it, and since Tsunade is hokage I can only leave for a period of time before I have to come back to do hokage training. I better hope that within those 14 years that you ask Iruka out and take very good care of him" Naruto had handed him the letter and walked away.
Naruto walked up through the gates ready to start his new life. Walking to the guards to hand him his travelers pass, Genma nodded and let him through.
Normally it would take two days of non-stop running to get to his destination, but since he was no longer a ninja at the moment and just a traveler, he could not use his ninja skills, cause they would just bring him danger, it will take him seven days. I guess it was time to relax.
