Summary : Naruto learned a lot in the past five years, but he never did learn when to leave well enough alone.
AN: For those familiar with the story, this here's just a re-write/over-haul of the existing chapters. I may or may not finish it, since I haven't been into Naruto for well over a year now and I've lost all my original notes on the story, but we'll see.
For those unfamiliar with this story, yes, this is MPREG. And slash. I don't take this particularly seriously, so I hope you don't, either. It's just a fun little exercise, originally intended to see if I could write what I used to hate most in fanfiction, (the MPREG bit, not the slash thing.)
This re-write is dedicated to all the wonderful readers who still, even after this long, take the time to review. You're fabulous, each and every one of you.

Prologue
It took two years of strenuous training on the road, with only Jiraya and his floozy of the evening as company, as well as another year of hard work at home after that, (still, unfortunately, under the lecherous moron's tutelage.)
It took him another year of simultaneously hiding from the Akatsuki, collecting information on the Sound Village, (currently under new management,) and selling his plan to the old hag and the Kazekage, enduring countless beatings from the both of them before he succeeded.
It took six months to master the jutsu necessary to veil his distinct chakra and equally distinct jutsu, both vital to the plan.
It took five months, six missions worth of pay, twenty-seven broken bones, (four of those belonging to him,) a ton of creative forgery, and six trips to the tailor before he could finally set things in motion.
It took three months of zigging, zagging, and other general attempts to disappear off the radar as himself and reappear as a rogue ninja from the Sand, (Gaara having agreed to this part of the plan only after breaking those four bones,) seven months of gaining enough trust and clout as a Sound ninja to get close to their new leader, and then an added month of pretending to heal from a nasty chest wound that had actually mended by the morning, before he realized the plan might just work.
Five years and ten months of planning, plotting, preparing, lying, conniving, and yes, even a little seducing, and he blew it all in six hours. To be more accurate, it was actually two deliciously active hours total, broken up by four hours of post/pre-sex napping. Of course, he had to wait a few more weeks before the full weight of his mistake settled like a lead balloon in his belly.
Well, perhaps a bit further south than that.
Despite the fact that the jutsu made him bleed once a month like a real girl, his cycle had been spotty at best, so he failed to notice its absence. It wasn't until he began throwing up every morning did it finally dawn on him; with the help of a plastic-cased piss-strip he snuck out at risk of death to procure, he figured out just why his period hadn't arrived as expected.
Uzumaki Naruto was with child.
Sasuke's child.
