DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, IT BELONGS TO MASASHI KISHIMOTO.

THIS IS MY FIRST NARUTO STORY PLEASE BE KIND.

The village was calm and quiet for once. The morning dew rolled of the leaves and to the ground causing it to look like the trees around the village was crying for things to come. It's like the trees and the animals could sense what was about to begin in the days to come. Naruto woke up with his arms wrapped around his love of his life. When she told him her feelings he was on cloud nine. She soothed him like no other as he stroked her pink locks of hair from her face. The nightmares he was having, have calmed to a trickle, he was happy so happy as his eyes close to sleep again. The next time he woke up Sakura was gone. He heard sounds in the kitchen and decided to get up. He found a pair of sweat pants and put them on heading to the kitchen to see what she was cooking. It smelt good thought Naruto as he entered the kitchen wrapping his arms around his girl's waist and kissing her neck lightly. Sakura smiled as she flipped a pancake then put her hands on his then said, "Did the mission go well." "Yes it went smoothly all though I think Sasuke didn't like me being his boss but it was good to see Sai again," replied Naruto. "How is Sai these days?" "He's doing well, he said for me to say hi to you from him, he misses the good old days," he said. Sakura smiled then said, "I don't, he's much more human now." "True very true," whispers Naruto smiling against her neck. "Breakfast is all most done get your shower in or you'll be late to see the hokage at 10 today." "Damm I wanted to stay here with you," as he kissed down her neck to her collarbone." "I know I want the same thing but I am needed at the hospital today but we can continue when I come back at 6 tonight." "I'll hold that to you tonight then."As he let go and headed for the shower. Sakura's smile faded a little as she thought how I am going to tell him this news.

Naruto let the water of the shower cascade over his body as he thought about Sakura; he knew something was wrong he sensed it. She wasn't telling him something important and it hurt a little but if he gave her space, she would tell him when she was ready. Getting out then drying off then dressing he came out with a big smile and a nice clean smell that Sakura could smell when he sat right beside her, he smelt of fresh water and spice that made her want to jump him and make love to him.

As Naruto swallowed his food he turned to Sakura and said," are you okay did something happen while I was away?"



"No! Smiled Sakura, "why?

"You seem a little sad that's all, did I do something wrong?" asked Naruto.

"No! Said Sakura, it's more like what we did Naruto."

"What you are talking about Sakura, I don't understand," said Naruto.

"Well I'm pregnant," stuttered Sakura, "about two months."

"Pregnant whispered Naruto shock written on his face, our anniversary night he thought, he looked at her as a slow smile crept to his face then yelled "I'm going to be a father!" as he started to laugh. He then grabbed Sakura and held her tight then said, "Was that all you were worried about? "Yes, said Sakura were only nineteen years old."

"Yes we are, but life for a ninja is so short, I'm going to try and be the best father and husband I can and that's a promise of a life time believe it," said Naruto with a big smile.

"I know you'll be a good father Naruto," said Sakura with a smile. She was happy he was happy and relieved.

Naruto looked at the time then said," I better get going, but I wish I could stay with you," as he rubbed her stomach in a loving way.

"I know but remember tonight you have something to look forward to," reply Sakura slyly.

"When I'm done at the Hokage, I have to tell otosan he's going to be surprised when he finds out he'll be a grandfather," said Naruto excitedly.

"I'm sure Iruka will be very happy indeed," said Sakura.

"I love you Sakura, take it easy okay," asked Naruto.

"I promise Naruto I'm only doing some paper work for Tsunade and Shizune, I can't do any anything that involves chakra," replied Sakura.

"Good I don't want you over tax yourself," said Naruto with a protective voice, then left.

Sakura smiled she loved that man as she looked down at her flat tummy she rubbed it gently then said, "Well I'm glad he's happy like I am, well then we better get going." As she opened the door she got a feeling of dread that something was going to happen, but she shook it off and left.

Naruto was jumping from roof to roof with a bright smile plastered on his face he couldn't be happier he was going to be a father. Something he never thought would happen to him after being alone for so long. He made it to Hokage Tower in record time moving two steps at a time until he made it to the door and saw a young chunnin sitting at the desk going through some paperwork that looked boring.

"Can I help you Naruto-san?" asked the Chunnin.



"Yes I have to talk to Tsunade-sama," said Naruto in a cheerful voice.

"Yes go right in she's waiting for you," said the young man at the desk.

"Thanks," said Naruto. As he walked in to the office to be greeted by Homura, Koharu and Danzo. He looked at Tsunade who had a sad look on her face as she looked up at him. She then said," you've met the council advisors Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu and Danzo said Tsunade.

Naruto bowed to the two Advisors and glared at Danzo who had a smug look on his face.

"It has come to our attention that your girlfriend is with child," said Koharu. "We the council cannot allow this child to be born," said Homura.

"W w what, what are you talking about," said a shocked Naruto.

"Because you are a demon," said Danzo.

"Enough Danzo," said Koharu,

"What we are saying Naruto is that we can't allow you to keep the child," said Homura.

"But why, I would make a good father, I don't understand!" yelled Naruto. Why am I never happy thought Naruto as he looked down to the floor.

"This is not fair!" yelled Tsunade." His probably just found out and now you're telling him this shit, what's the matter with you!"

"We don't care what this demon thinks and feels, just the fact that this child comes from him should be a crime," said Danzo.

Naruto and Tsunade glared at him with equal hate in their eyes. Homura and Koharu both stepped back in fear not so much from Tsunade's anger but because of Naruto's anger. It made the hair on the back of their heads stand on end as the air in the office got cold.

Tsunade looked over at Naruto and felt the killer internet rolling off of him. All directed at Danzo, Danzo's eyes widened in fear as he watched Naruto's eyes bleed red, Naruto then turned around and left the office.

Danzo was still standing in a daze and when he came out of it he was shaking in fear as no one has done that to him ever.

Koharu looked at Danzo and said," You should not have said that, now talking to young Naruto will only be harder."

"I have never seen the demon show it's self so quickly," said Homura.

"Neither have I," mumbled Tsunade.



"Who cares," said Danzo, "so long as the child from that beast is gone?"

Naruto ran through town looking for his otosan, he needed to talk to someone before he talked to Sakura. Looking for what seemed like hours he found Iruka coming towards him.

"OTOSAN!" Naruto yelled waving his arms to catch Iuka's attention.

Iruka smiled and waved to his son. But then realized something was wrong, when Naruto got close enough, Iruka saw the tears and the pain in his son's eyes.

"What's the matter Naruto?" asked Iruka.

"Can we talk in private?" asked Naruto?

"Sure lets go to your house it close," said Iruka. As they walked Iruka knew it was something big the way his son could not stop crying. As soon as they got in it Naruto and Sakura's apartment, Naruto collapsed on floor and wailed a sound that sent shivers down Iruka's back. He kneeled down and hugged his son he heard Naruto mumble about everything being taken away from him, Iruka didn't understand what was going on. Naruto then looked up and said his voice shaking," I found out today I was going to be a father, I was so happy. I went to see Tsunade today I thought it was for a mission follow up on the mission that I had just come back from. But it wasn't that, it was to tell me that Sakura and I can't have this child because of me. Because of the demon in me," as he broke down again and cried.

Iruka looked at Naruto in shock. Then the saddened look fell over his face like a shadow as he thought how could they, how could they do this to my son after all the shit he had to go through before I adopted him. It's not fair. They sat on the floor, both were crying, thinking the same, it's not fair.

End of chapter one.

A review would be nice.
