This idea wouldn't leave me alone. Sorry, not sorry.

Standard disclaimer.


"Bastard, you're coming home with us." Naruto smiled over his shoulder, past the blood staining the ground between them and to Sasuke who scowled right back at him.

"Naruto!" He heard Sakura scream as black dots started to fill his vision.

Sakura's face loomed in close to his own and he focused on her, "I did it. I brought him back for you Sakura-chan." He said softly, struggling to articulate his words.

Tears dripped onto his face from Sakura's eyes, "you idiot." Her voice was soft and it broke at the end, "not at the cost of your life." She sobbed and choked out, "I wanted us all to be together, as a family again. I want you to stay with us Naruto." Her hands lit up green, but they flickered and there wasn't much of it. "I can't save you, I don't have enough chakra." The tears came faster. "Please don't go?" She begged gently touching his face.

It was so very hard to see her face anymore. Black mostly filled his vision, but he could still see her green eyes. A smile was brought to his lips and he coughed up a bit of blood. His ears started to ring, and then he couldn't see her face anymore.

"NARUTO!" Her anguished cry was the last thing he heard.


When he came to he wasn't anywhere he recognized. For one it was dark, and for another, his eyes would not open. Where ever he was it was warm and inviting. It felt safe and he felt loved. It made absolutely no sense but it calmed his frayed nerves and let him just float.

He wasn't sure how long he had stayed in this warm place when he felt something brush against him. He startled and kicked his feet out coming up against something soft and pliable under his toes. If he could have his eyes would have been as wide a dinner plates. What on earth was going on? He thought frantically as the something from before brushed up against him again. This time he felt a hand, as it needed against his arm. He wasn't alone in here.

After his initial scare from the other being inside this cage with him, his hearing filtered in and he could hear twin heartbeats that went double the speed of the one steady strong one that seemed to echo around this place. Naruto had gotten used to the sounds and eventually curled up with the other being, their skin touching his brought forth feelings of comfort and safety.

Time spent in this increasingly shrinking space was hard for Naruto to measure. He wasn't sure if it was months, years, or even days, it felt like a long time but could have been a matter of hours.

His time here was cut short with blinding pain that went through his entire body, pressure on all sides of his body pushing him towards a dot of light that shined through his sealed eyelids.

He felt giant hands take a hold of his head, something being shoved up his nose, and down his throat, while the rest of him slid out of the slick and wet cage that he had been kept in. A relieved mewl escaped his vocal cords as the pain was suddenly gone.

The hands cradled him and he felt a pull at his belly button. A panicked sound left his mouth and his limbs flailed and his face scrunched up in frustration. He had let his guard down and now they were going to take Kurama from him, he should never have gotten comfortable.

"It's a healthy baby boy, Kazue-san." A light cheery voice said above him.

A wobbly sound that sort of resembled a choked sound accompanied an exhausted female voice. "Can I hold him?"

"Hold on Kazue-san. We aren't quite done yet. We need to get rid of the placenta-" A pain-filled grunt interrupted her. "Kazue-san?" A gasp came from the stern voice. "There's another head crowning. Takara-chan, please relocate the boy. We need to get this other baby out."

"Hai." The woman holding him said. Naruto felt the lady place him among blankets.

"One, two, three, push." The stern voice said over painful sounding grunts. "Good, again, Kazue-san. One, two, three, push."

A strangled cry came from the woman and soon a baby's cry filled the room.

"You did wonderful, Kazue-san," Takara said with a smile. "Two healthy baby boys."

Naruto blinked his eyes open, but the world was still blurry. He was a baby, wasn't he? The other baby's cries faded.

Takara lifted him from the blankets once more and settled him on his 'mother's' chest. "Both of them need to be fed now."

"Hai." An exhausted croak came from the woman he laid atop of. Something prodded the corner of his mouth and instinctual he latched on and began to suck. Another pain filled gasp leaped from Kazue's throat. Milky substance filled his mouth, it was extremely sweet and he guzzled it down.

"Don't worry, your nipples will get used to feeding them soon enough." The stern voice said from behind Naruto.

Naruto spits out the nipple, and he heard Takara giggle. "Come now, baby, you need to eat."

"Kazue-san, what do you plan on naming them?" The stern lady asked she sounded like she was cleaning up in the background.

"Minaka, the oldest and Minato, the youngest," Kazue said breathlessly.


Well, a penny for your thoughts?

NOT A NARUTO X KUSHINA STORY!

I'm thinking of making this a Naruto(Minaka)XHarem story. I already have a total of five girls selected, four of which are Uchiha. If you have any suggestions please keep in mind that if they are Kakashi's age, they are too young, and if they are Tsunade's age, they are too old.

Thanks!
