The Modern Konohan Marriage
A/N: I've been pawing at this idea for a while but I finally did it 6/20-22/2012. I'm posting this entire story at once for the fact it is completed. I lost my cable a few days before this was written. This is set after the main story arcs, when all the fighting is over and Naruto is 20, but it does jump ahead at certain points. Be forewarned it is rated M for a slightly yaoi/futa/ sex reason, but there is no lemon…Maybe. Well Enjoy. R&R Please!
Disclaimer: I do not own the TV Anime "Naruto". I only own my OC. Please no flaming.
Ch.1: Explanation! Tsunade's Idea and Fantasy…
As two of the most respected and feared leaders on the entire council, Tsunade and Gaara had a loud enough opinion in the meetings that all leaders attended to pass or fail a law. Long since the wars had been over and this particular meeting was addressing another issue.
The offset in the population was quite unusually male. With most of these modern men being straight or bisexual and the lack of women, something had to be done to keep the majority of the population happy. As Tsunade thought back, she realized it was like this throughout history and the unhappiness lead to war. She had also realized that even with the constant wars, there had hardly ever been a dent made in the male population.
Tsunade had always had a fantasy that if it were true, more people would be happy and the population might slow down.
"Gaara, I'd like to run an idea by you later if you wouldn't mind." The blond said to her redheaded colleague.
"Fine, anything to get Kankuro off my back about socializing."He agreed.
This wasn't Gaara's favorite way to spend time with others but it wasn't the worst either. He thought of an excuse to go for a walk. As agreed he joined Tsunade for dinner.
"What's this big idea?" The Kazekage asked bluntly as he sat.
"I was thinking about the ratio of men to women. What if women could have two husbands instead of one? People would be happier in a steady committed relationship, so there would be less war. It should slow the population growth, and the only people left are gay men. What do you think?" The older woman rambled excitedly.
"Why couldn't you just bring it up at the meeting?" asked the youngest leader as his teal eyes glared through her.
"I thought perhaps you could back me up so it would pass. Plus isn't it nice knowing I trust you, you can confide in me too, Gaara."
"I see some flaws in your logic, but you should suggest it tomorrow. I suppose I could support it. Goodbye Tsunade." He mumbled before leaving.
The next day Tsunade brought up her idea and after a few weeks of discussing it, the law was passed. Once it was posted in the villages, many of the younger couples scrambled to find a third person. Most couples, now as trios, began setting dates for the ceremonies.
