CHAPTER 1
Tenten stood in her garden working the weeds out humming to her self happily. Her life wasn't perfect but she was pretty happy. She had a nice home of her own and a blacksmithing shop of her own to run and care for. She also had four sons who were all wonderful in there own way's. Shun was ten the oldest and most helpful, Hide was eight and kind hearted she knew if the need for war came again he wouldn't have the heart for it. Then there were the twin Sanosuke and Renosuke. Those two were trouble for any one but there mother but they meant well. She felt sadness in her heart for them Shun was the only one really old enough to rememeber his father and Hide was way to little to even remember what the man looked like. It broke her heart to think there were no pictures to show them no way to tell them he was ever around. They never even had a body to bury when he died. It had been 6 years since he had passed unexpectedly leaving her and the boys alone for ever.
She stood from the dirt and dusted her knee's off looking towards the sky. It was almost lunch so she knew her boys should be home soon. She walked into her home and stretched throwing her long brown hair into a single bun almost laughing to her self as memories of life in Konaha came to mind. It had been eleven years since the war since her late husband snuck her away from her grieving and brought her to this town deep in the mountains untouched by the fighting and chaos. She was sure no one had missed her well maybe Lee and Guy but they had each other. When she witnessed Neji's death saw him leave this world, she knew that village had nothing for her. Tenten sat down and sighed running her hands threw her hair as she shook a little. To much time alone always did this to her, made her think of the things she didn't have and the men she lost.
Within seconds of those darkening thoughts ripping her to pieces she saw her boys rush in covered in mud and dirt laughing playfully. Shun blinked looking at his mother confused. He had no problem reading her like an open book she was clearly worried about something but he couldn't put a thumb to it. Tenten smiled at him trying to convince him other wise. She loved the fact that he took up so much like his father dark eye's quick wit, and a sharp face. Hide took after her she felt more then any of the other boys he had her eye's and face but his father's nose and hair color. The twins had her hair but the rest was there father. How she wished he could have met them and just been able to watch them grow.
"Momma" Said Hide as he sat next to her tilting his head. She smiled looking to him nodding her head.
"I know I know you guys are hungry give me a second." She said standing up and going back to the stove. She finished cooking and went on listening to the boys go on about there day. School in the morning and practice a little after was always there schedule but it seemed today was a little different.
"Momma today we got to meet real ninja for the first time it was so cool." Said Sanosuke as his brother all nodded there heads with him. She blinked curiously what were ninja doing in this town. That what she had liked about this place it was so far away from the ninja world that she never felt on edge or the need to even tell them she and there father were ninja's.
"It was odd mother they have a man they call a Hokage and I guess they follow all of his comands." Shun spoke up. She froze hearing the word Hokage that meant it was Konaha nin. but why would they be here and what would they do if they found out who she was. What if they labeled her a deserter or worse. What would happen to her sons.
"Well thats very odd did they have them speak at your school or say why they were here." She asked trying hard not to seem obvious. Shun raised an eyebrow giving his mother a curious look much like his father used too.
"Well they said that are village was now under the protection of Konaha due to trading of good between both villages. The Hokage is hosting a big festival I guess." Shun said reading his mother as she took in the information. Tenten gave a warm smile as she gave the boys there lunch and smiled.
"Well it's good to know we are safe." She said smiling as best she could trying to hide the fear that ripped threw her person.
"Now boy's I'm gonna open the shop I'll be busy for a while so clean up and do your chores." She said giving them all a kiss on there foreheads then walking out.
Tenten took the ten minute walk to her shop the slowest way she could. All she wanted to do was hide and disappear but she couldn't. The money from crop season kept them nice and cozy during the winter and there was no way she wasn't going to make that money. She was the best blacksmith in town her tools helped the village prosper greatly. So every season she would make a killing in sales on everything. She walked into her small shop and sighed softly to her self. All she wanted was a quiet day and she was doubting she was going to get one.
Naruto was in a great mood this village was going to be a great resource for Konaha the great mountain soil helped them farm larger amounts of crops then any other vilage and it was a wonderful asset to have. He thought it was a great move to make as Hokage. Hinata smiled looking up at her husband lovingly. They were having a great stay in the small village, the people were lovely and smart. The attendant the village gave them was a funny man. They could tell he loved this village more then the air he breathed.
"Now let me tell you great Hokage-sama not only are we known for strong healthy soil we also have the best cooking in all the lands." Jin said happily making his rounded face shine bright. Naruto raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Now that is a great way to get to my heart. I do love food." Naruto said chuckling along with Jin. The village was pretty busy people running around and Konaha ninja adjusting to the new changes.
"Oh good I'm glad to hear that because you are going to really enjoy all aspects of are humble home." Jin said. Naruto nodded his head as he listened to the man go on and on as they walked into the comphy restraunt. Hinata smiled and looked around. The people were kind and respectable, they had pride but were humble. She looked at her husband and couldn't help but smile. He was working so hard trying his best to make the village believe in him even more so. Things between them were great they had to children 6 and 4 who were smart and brave like there parent's. She was going to love bringing them here to visit. Sakura was right it was a well needed little brake from the kids for them.
The meal was pleasant and delicious everyone smiled and waved as they walked by. Jin looked at the young pair and smiled.
"You sir are what this village needs a new face with a bright and happy future." Jin said as Naruto nodded and hinata stared out the window. She couldn't help but smile at all the children getting excited over tonights event's. Naruto thought it would be a great way for everyone to get to know one another and get comfortable with everything by throwing a festival. Hinata stood smiling to herself as she watched most of the Konaha eleven walk into the front of the village.
"Naruto-kun the children are here." She said grabbing his hand as they paid there bill and walked out. Naruto smiled as his children ran to he and his wife hugging there legs. He looked at them and couldn't help but feel his heart warm. They were the perfect blend of he and his wife, Bolt was his near twin while Himewari was a mini copy of her mother. Sakura walked up holding Sarada's hand while sasuke followed a little behind. The road had been rocky but they all made it they were finally in a time of peace making families of there own. Naruto smiled at his brother as Sasuke just nodded his head to him. They had there ups and downs but they made it. Sasuke had gone missing right after the war but he made it back almost 6 years ago. Now he was reformed and happy he and Sakura have a 4 year old and there all in a good place.
"We finally made it." Sakura said pouting slightly. Naruto laughed as Hinata picked up their daughter.
"I know but it's worth it, the air is so clean up here." Naruto said hugging his friends.
Sasuke stood silently as everyone started talking about the upcoming event's for the night. He couldn't place his finger on it but this place had seemed slightly familiar and it made him uncomfortable. Out of all his time traveling in none of his memories had he traveled to this place but it felt like he had been there before. Then there was the little glances he would gain from the people here they would look at him a little confused like they felt they knew him but weren't so sure. He did not like it one bit. He looked at Sakura and sighed softly, she seemed to be having a good time so he figured he would keep his feelings to his self.
Tenten froze as she felt the chakra levels rise in the area. She knew at that moment everyone had to be there how could they not. Their dear friend was having a festival over a succesful trade deal going well. She was ready to flee but were would she go? She was so deep in thought she didn't even here the door to her shop open. The room that was once silent was now filled with Jin's loud voice filling the space.
"Now Sir this is one of the villages most prized shop's it's ran by a widow who make beautiful weapons and long lasting tools. We owe a lot to her skill's. We think her weapons maybe useful to your ninja also." Jin said pridefully like he made the store himself. Naruto and Hinata stood with the rest of the group as Lee rushed past them all screaming about something. Tenten froze as she was pulled into a hug so tight she felt her eye's would pop out.
"Ten-chan!"Lee cried out. Hinata blinked and looked at the woman infront of her. How could they have missed her like that. She didn't look like old Tenten long gone were the twin buns and pink shirt. There stood a woman with long hair swept to the side and a simple blacksmithing outfit on. Tenten hugged Lee back fighting back the tears.
"I thought you were dead I thought you killed yourself after well you know." Lee whispered still not letting go of his long lost sister. Tenten sighed and shook her head.
"No no no I just needed a break is all." She said sadly smiling at him barely noticing the crowd. Naruto was next to come up and hug her.
"Well it's good to see you almost didn't reconize ya honestly. What happened to your ear's panda-chan?" He asked playfully. Tenten couldn't help but laugh and swat his hand away as he went to pat her head. Hinata came up next to them and gave her a hug next. Tenten was overwhelmed really she had no clue what was going on. He wasn't made she wasn't called a traitor it was totally different then what she thought it would be. " I'm so happy your doing well for yourself ten-chan." Hinata said happily as they all bombarded her with questions.
Sasuke wasn't sure what all the big deal was about so what it was the panda girl he barely even noticed she was gone in the first place. Sakura had grabbed his hand and dragged him out quickly as the others started attacking her with hugs and questions. He wasn't sure what her problem was but he felt there was a little more to it then her excuse for needing more air.
"Well that was super crowded huh." She said putting there daughter on her hip. Sarada looked at him and smiled reaching for him. He took her and smiled a rare smile.
"Hn." he said looking around the busy street.
Shun sighed walking to his mothers shop all his brothers in toe behind him. He didn't like the look his mother gave him when she left he was worried for her so they decided it was time to pay her a visit. Shun turned the corner and froze for a brief moment in time. There in front of his mothers shop was the man who raised him for half his life, the man he thought was well... dead. With out thought he ran to him and the strange woman he was with.
"Shun!" Yelled Hide as they followed him weaving past the people. Shun's mind was racing, how could this be how was his father right there in front of him like this. He looked different but that was his father no doubt.
Sasuke blinked curiously at the small pack of boys running up to him. What could they want he didn't think this village had an orphan problem like Konaha once had. The boy stopped in front of him as his daughter waved to the boy who had to be about 10. Something was off and he confirmed it when he looked to Sakura who had a moment of panic in her eye's. The boy stepped closer to him and wrapped his arms around his torso crying tears into his stomach.
"Dad...Your alive" He cried. Hide looked at Shun and heard him say dad. That was when it clikced in his head that man had to have been their dad. He kinda reconized the slightly scary man but if his brother was saying it was him then he'd believe it. So with out a second thought the other boy was hugging him too. Sarada started to laugh softly.
"This is my daddy not your's" She spoke childishly. Sasuke Handed her back to her mother as best he could with the boys not letting him go. While the boy's clung to him crying he watched as the other two younger ones shrugged and went into the shop.
Tenten stood laughing as Lee went into detail about his life and how he had a son back in Konaha and how she should come back with them and how great it would be. She just nodded and listened while Naruto and Hinata stood smiling silent observers in a awkward situation she felt. She was surprised to here her twins yelling at the weird man to let there momma go.
" Sano and Ren be nice this is your Uncle Lee." Tenten said smiling as Lee and the others stood shocked.
"You had little ten's who's the man that did this to you who defiled the precious flower of team Guy." Lee shouted. The twins frowned and covered there ears. Ren then grabbed his mothers hands and started to talk.
"Momma Shun and Hide are hugging some strange scary guy calling him dad." Ren said nonchalantly Tenten blinked and frowned rushing to the front of the store. Right as she was at the door she saw him the man that changed her life. The man that gave her 4 children pushing her...no...their 2 eldest children with ease like they meant nothing. The push was hard enough it knocked her sweet little Hide to the ground. Tenten gasped as did everyone else and she rushed him kunai in hand. He left them there, abandoned them that was clear went as far as to fake a death then he comes back and pushes her children. She was not for that so in a flash she was in front of him a kunai to his throat death in her eye's.
"Touch my children again you bastard and I swear I'll rip your throat out with my bare hands." she growled out. Naruto rushed to them watching Sasuke raise his hand's. That inastantly put him on edge the last thing he needed was him murdering the woman for protecting her kids. Sasuke smirked and stepped away from her with ease as Naruto held her wrist.
" I don't know what's going on but let's not do this out here alright." He said a seriousness to his tone that threw Tenten. She dropped her kunai and stepped away rushing to her 2 crying boys hugging them.
"I have no clue why your children would think I was their father but you need to correct that." Sasuke said as Sakura stepped next to him linking arms with him a shit eating grin on her face as he spoke. Tenten froze and looked at him with disgust.
"Oh ok I see how it is then." She chuffed and started to recheck over her children. Shun looked at Sasuke with a look of complete betrayel and Sasuke didn't understand why. He was in no way shape or form anything to them. Sakura frowned and looked at her. She had to keep things level she wasn't sure what this woman could do or not.
"He said he isn't there father so why are you giving him that look." Sakura chided holding Sarada closer. Hinata walked out frowning. This situation was a mess and it was definatly something no one needed so she smiled and stepped foward as the lady of Konaha.
"Let's have a discussion at are home away from home here shall we." She said taking Naruto's hand suggesting they all follow. Tenten looked to Jin and asked him to close up the shop then follwed everyone to Naruto and Hinata's temporary place in town. Shun kept glaring at the man who wasn't his father feeling heart broken. How could he deny him like that, how could he lie to him and shove him with such force. Hide even got scratches on his palms from the shove. The home the Hokage was staying in was beautiful it used to be an old Inn but it was modified for the Hokage and his family. Hinata smiled and led everyone to the great room while she had a hand maid lead the children to another room. Shun shook his head and insisted on staying with them and Tenten wasn't about to deny him his request. Naruto sat at his desk while Tenten,Shun,Sakura and,Sasuke all sat across from him. Hinata brought in some tea and sat next to him.
"Now what is going on here." Naruto asked very confused. Shun was a brave boy Naruto could tell just from his presents alone. So he wasn't surprised to see the boy raise his hand to speak but then get cut off by Sakura starting to speak.
"Naruto I have no clue what is happening but this is ridiculous. That boy and his brother just slammed into him almost knocking over my husband and are daughter claiming for him to be there father. I don't know what Tenten told her children but how could he be the father when he's never been in this village before." Sakura said in a sharp tone. Tenten clenched her fists tightly but tried to keep her best face. Shun on the other hand looked at the woman his father was with and frowned.
"Sir this man is the father I knew when I was young. My mother told me nothing but how he was a great man of many skills who did anything for his family and died trying to make sure they stayed safe." Shun said in a matter of fact tone. Tenten was proud of him and smiled at him softly. Naruto looked at the boy and nodded his head. The boy Shun looked like Sasuke that was for sure. He had his eye's but Tenten's hair there was also the face he was very akin to a younger version of his old teammate and he sighed. Sakura was getting angrier and angrier.
"I demand answers Naruto how is it that they think these things." She snapped getting red in the face. Sasuke looked at her and frowned telling her to calm herself. Tenten frowned at the couple and spoke.
"After the battle I was away by myself crying debating on whether I should live or die. The love of my life had died right in front of us and I couldn't bare it. That was when this man right here came to me speaking of starting over finding a new home a new place to live and make great. That all I would have to do was come with him and it would all get better. So I did at first it wasn't love of course it wasn't I was a nin with no blood limit easier for his skills and traits to pass on if we had children. I was well aware of my place but after Shun was born it changed for us we had married and built a house together. We had Hide and things were great but I guess around the start of my third pregnancy things were sketchy around the border and a few of the men in town knew of his abilities and asked him to help them. That was when he died." Tenten said fidling with the wedding ring she was defiantly going to take off at this point." The men came back saying that he was distracted and hit over the head and dragged away. When they followed all they found was ash and bone and most of his clothing in the char. I guess he chose that as the time to flee and abandon us. I was left a widow and a mother of 4 on my own." Tenten said sadly.
Naruto looked at Sasuke who just stared at Tenten as if she had grown another head.
"I have no memory of any of that it couldn't have happened your delusional. Your not going to replace me with the one you lost." Sasuke said making Tenten and Hinata's eye's go wide. He knew he hit deep with that comment but he wanted to make it very clear to her that he wasn't going to deal with this nonsense.
"Oi teme watch it." Naruto growled knowing that comment hurt his wife also. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and frowned.
"I never traveled to this area while I was on my journey." He said trying to change the subject. He looked at Tenten noticing her moving something around in her hands. Sakura decided to speak again.
"I think there is some big misunderstanding really I mean maybe she ended up with some look alike ya know." Sakura continued on rambling as Tenten frowned and slammed the ring on the table.
"Here take it back." Tenten snapped looking away as Sasukes eye's went wide. It was his mothers ring the one he hadn't seen since before the war how she had it he had no clue but it took his rage to another level how had she done this. It was so lost he had to give Sakura his fathers wedding band instead and this was why because she was a thief. His vision went red and before anyone could stop anything from happening Tenten was against the wall choking with his hand around her throat. Shun stood shocked never encountering such brute strength that he went into panic trying to pry the man off his mother only to be shoved away so hard he fell back and hit his head on the table. Once again Naruto had to try and break them up while Hinata took Shun out of the room. The poor thing hit his head so hard he had passed out. Naruto growled seperating them only to realize he had activated his sharingan trapping Tenten in her own head.
Tenten stood frozen in place as the world around her was red and all she could see was blood. There on the floor was Shun covered in his own blood. She closed her eye's trying her best to keep it together as she watched the same thing over and over again. Constant images of her boy's being murdered before her eyes with no way to stop it... then finally nothing she welcomed the black out. Sasuke stepped back from Naruto releasing Tenten from her mental hold only for her to fall ears and eye's bleeding as she passed out.
"She's a lying thief she stole my mothers ring." He growled out as Sakura stepped hesitantly towards him. Things went to far and Naruto was not happy he knew something was off those children were his with out a doubt but he was in denial, Then he did all this to them he took it to far.
"You had no right to do that to her I think you lost your memory Teme. I think that hit made you come back to Konaha without a thought of your family." He yelled as Hinata came back in gasping over Tenten's state.
"She need's help" Hinata said moving them out of her way. Naruto nodded helping her lift Tenten up and laying her on the mats.
"Sakura help her please." Naruto asked. Sasuke gave her a look as if to say don't but she already had no intention too.
"I'm sorry Naruto but I refuse." She said tilting her head up as she walked out. Naruto was seeing red himself now as he cut Sasuke a look.
"You are not to leave this room, Hinata please go get help."
