And since I'm evil, "paragraph monsters" for everyone!
[ November 15th, 6:30 pm, Outside Rin's House]
Noboru had waited all day for Rin to be away from the target, and he finally found his opportunity as she had just put Naruto to sleep in his room and left back downstairs. He revealed himself from his hiding spot across the street from the house and made a beeline towards it while staying as quiet as possible. After getting tangled by a few nasty weeds, he finally made it through the yard and scales the wall to the second story.
[Downstairs]
Rin was cooking while contemplating the date she had been shoved into. Sometimes she felt as if she was gullible or something. ' Oh well, it's not like it's a romantic meeting or anything' she thought before she spied the baby bottle sitting on the counter, ' Shit, I forgot to feed him'. She picked it up and called out, " Kurenai-chan, could you go and feed Naruto quick? He'll just wake up fussing in ten minutes if he isn't and I can't leave the kitchen" she asked the genin who was sitting at the table. Kurenai nodded, took the bottle, and made her way to Naruto's room.
[Upstairs]
Noboru finally cracked the seal Rin put up to keep villagers, and the like, out of Naruto's room. Quietly, he opened the window and slipped through. He made his way towards the crib and brought out the picture. 'That's him alright' he thought. He went to pick up the infant, when the door opened and a young girl entered the room carrying a baby bottle.
When she saw the unfamiliar shinobi looming over Naruto's crib, her eyes widened and she dropped the bottle to start going through hand signs. Noboru, seeing that she was going through handsigns for a jutsu, quickly went for his tanto and made a thrust for her heart. Kurenai immediately stopped the sequence and, acting on instinct, put her hand in front of the incoming weapon. It traveled right through her left hand and inter her shoulder instead of her heart. Well into the throes of the effect of adrenalin running through her, she quickly grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the tanto, holding her enemy in place as she did the only thing she could think of given the situation. She cocked her leg back and let it fly as hard as she could right between his legs.
Had he not been so preoccupied with trying to pull his arm away from the genin, he might have been able to block the overly simple attack. But as it stood, he was clutching himself, trying to will away the pain, which was where his ROOT training came in handy. Kurenai took the window of opportunity to run over to the now crying infant and snatch him up with her good arm and attempted to make a dash for it. Attempted. Norboru was blocking her path and quickly recovering. She was trapped, she couldn't do a jutsu with no hands, and she needed help.
With all her will and the fear of what might happen, she forced herself to remember the gift of speech and screamed, " R-RIN-SENSEI!", right before taking a sandaled foot right into her face, sending her into the adjacent wall as she held tightly onto Naruto to protect him from the impact.
[Downstairs]
Rin was busying herself with dinner. Some jounin might have complained about being made to cook in this situation, but for Rin it was quickly turning into a hobby. She had never gotten many compliments about her cooking, mostly because serving food to the Inuzukas was like serving imported water to a dehydrated Suna nin. And after she moved out, she only really cooked for herself, if even. But now, she had two genin sitting at the table with sparkling eyes and drooling mouths, starting at her in admiration as she prepared tempura chicken.
Being only five years older than the two, she could only wonder if this is what being the mother of a family felt like.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Nanami, who looked up to the ceiling," Odd, it sounds like two people moving around upstairs", she voiced right before they could hear Naruto start crying and then a scream that turned Rin's blood to ice, " R-RIN-SENSEI!". Rin darted for the steps faster than anyone had thought her capable of, which incredibly doubled when she heard something heavy hit a wall upstairs, and Naruto crying harder.
[Naruto's Room]
Noboru was in a rage. This little bitch had the tenacity to kick him in the nuts, and now she was clutching the demon vessel like a vise. He quickly kicked her in the side of the head for good measure before wrenching her arm away, dislocating it in the process, and nabbing up the Kyuubi child. Right before he turned to the window, he noticed...well he didn't notice anything because the cognitive part of his brain was liquefied and leaking out of his nose and open mouth, a bluish white chakra covered hand palming the back of his head until he fell to the side, Rin snatching up Naruto before he fell. She looked from the wailing infant to Kurenai and looked horrified.
Kurenai was a total mess and barely conscious, her eyes threatening to roll up into her head. Rin could hear the other two genin had caught up. "Nanami!" she barked at the shocked genin, " Take Naruto and follow me to the hospital!" she ordered as she thrust the wailing infant into Nanami's arms. She checked over Kurenai to see whether she should treat her here or at the hospital. Unfortunately, she had too many injuries and Rin was still low on chakra from training. She picked up the blood covered genin bridal style and turned to Hiroshi, " You go to the Hokage and tell him what happened!" she barked at the still frozen genin.
He snapped out of it, " H-hai!", he replied before shunshinning out of the house. Rin and Nanami did the same, putting as much of their chakra into the jutsu as they could to get to the hospital faster. Rin reappeared a block away while Nanami was three blocks behind. As much as Rin wanted to run for the hospital right there and then, Nanami was carrying the reason for the intrusion in her arms and Rin knew she wouldn't stand a change in hell if the kidnapper had a partner.
When Nanami finally caught up, they both ran the rest of the distance to the hospital. Running through the hospital doors, she made her way to the reception desk, " I need a room and a second medic-nin immediately!" she yelled to the nurse. The nurse's shock turned into a hateful glare when she noticed the infant in the genin's arms, " Get out! We don't want you demon love-", she was cut off as Rin grabbed the nurse's collar and brought her and inch from her murderous face, " I said NOW!", she hollered with enough KI to cause the nurse to wet her pants.
"R-room th-322" she choked out before Rin threw her back into her chair behind the desk. She charged towards the room, grabbing a confused medic-nin and dragging him with her. Nanami followed quickly behind and shut the door of the room. The still visibly shaking nurse turned to the other nurse on duty who had seen the whole thing, " Umm, take over, I-I need to clean up", the wet nurse requested. The other could only nod dumbly.
[ With Hiroshi]
After his shunshin from the house, Hiroshi ran as fast as he could towards the Hokage Tower. Bursting through the double doors, he ignores the shrieking secretary whilst running towards the Hokage's office. He reached the office and burst through the doors, " Hokage-sama!", he shouted. Three and a half sets of eyes shifted to him, as the boy had interrupted a meeting between the Hokage, the advisers, and Danzo.
Hiruzen's annoyance towards the disturbance quickly turned into concern," You're one of Inuzuka Rin's charges are you not?", he asked authoritatively. The panting genin nodded, " Yeah. Some strange Anbu looking guy tried to kidnap Naruto. Rin-sensei killed him, but not before he seriously injured Kurenai-chan! Rin-sensei told me to tell you while they went to the hospital Hokage-sama." the genin blurted out.
Hiruzen noticed small amounts of tension in Danzo after hearing about the failed abduction. ' So Danzou, you still hold resources that should have been dissolved decades ago? You better hope I don't catch you red handed.' he thought before speaking again. " I see. It looks like this meeting will have to be finished another time. Anbu!" he called. Two Anbu, Ox and Weasle, appeared behind the startled genin. " Recover the body from the house" the Sandaime ordered the two, who then bowed and disappeared to complete their task.
Hiruzen leaped over his desk, picked up the genin under one arm, and shunshined all the way to the hospital, leaving two confused advisors shaking their heads, and one internally fuming Danzo, ' One of my best men...defeated... BY THREE BRATS AND A CANDYSTRIPER!' he bellowed in his mind before walking out of the room.
[Hospital]
Hiruzen and his load appeared right in front of the reception desk and a startled nurse, " Where can I find a woman with brown hair and purple face markings?", the Hokage asked the strangely attentive woman. The nurse, hearing the description of the woman who quickly downed her coworker, quickly spoke up, " Room 332 Hokage-sama", she supplied. With his answer, he nodded to the nurse, let go of Hiroshi, and went to find the room, Hiroshi right behind him rubbing his elbows mumbling something.
Finding the room, he opened the door to find Rin and another medic-nin, pulling a tanto out of a young Kurenai's shoulder and hand. Said girl had fallen unconscious due to the blood loss, and head trauma. Sarutobi couldn't help but cringe at the genin's condition. Seeing it wasn't a good idea to interrupt the treatment, he found a seat next to an exhausted Nanami holding a squirming baby Naruto, Hiroshi sitting in the seat on the other side of her. The observing crowd watched as Rin and the shanghaied medic mended Kurenai's hand and shoulder back together, flinched greatly when they relocated her shoulder, and nearly fainted/puked as they realligned Kurenais nose and mended her head and facial injuries.
An hour had passed by the time Rin was done and the other medic left. Kurenai's left side was swathed in bandages, her blooded dress discarded, with her head wrapped in gauze too. The bandages were more to keep the closed wounds safe and sterile until they strengthened to avoid reopening the wounds. The Hokage rose from his chair with Naruto, wisely snatching him up a half an hour earlier as Nanami nodded off and slumped forward.
The Anbu he sent to retrieve the body had reported to him 20 minutes ago that it appeared to be an Iwa shinobi, which made him grow concerned that maybe he was wrong about his insinuations, and more importantly, that Iwa knew about Naruto. When Hiruzen asked why it took so long to recover the body, the Anbu replied that it took a while to clean up the man's liquefied brains all over the floor.
"So, Rin-san, is she alright?", the Hokage asked the Kunoichi. Rin looked absolutely exhausted and knees looked ready to buckle. While she may have been training in the past three weeks, and her chakra reserves have gone up considerably, today's events were a little too much. She flopped into a bedside chair before replying, " No permanent injuries, but she's going to be in pain for the next few days...Do you know who Hokage-sama?", she asked the wizened leader.
" Anbu said he was an Iwa shinobi. Do you have reason to believe otherwise?", he asked, hoping to gain insight. Rin nodded, " He had a red headband. Only elite jounins and the Tsuchikage's personal guard wear that color, meaning he should have been able to put up more of a fight than he did. His clothes didn't match that standing either. Also, the plate was almost unscathed, probably taken off a dead genin. Lastly, the tanto", she picked up the tanto covered in Kurenai's blood. It was basically a black, straight piece of metal with a leather grip wrapped around the steel handle," This is a fire country design. An Iwa shinobi wouldn't be caught...well...dead using it. Whoever he was, he didn't fight the third shinobi war, I'll tell you that much. So...who would it be?", she asked again.
Hiruzen had to sigh, more in relief than anything, ' at least Iwa hasn't found out' he thought before replying," I have a suspicion, but without hard evidence, it would be impossible to connect him to it, and considering his stature within the village at the moment, I can't do anything against him", the aged Hokage stated frustratingly. Rin furrowed her brows angrily, " Does this suspicion at least have a name so I can prepare and avoid in the future?". The Hokage nodded. After all, it's not like he was one to protect the crinkled old warhawk.
" I believe you already know him. Shimura Danzo", he replied bluntly. Indeed Rin knew who he was, she was there when he made his interest known in turning Naruto into a living weapon. She had heard from her old sensei about his Root program as well, which was supposed to be disbanded years ago because of the inhumane results, and more importantly...the very lopsided failure to success ratio of the group's mission list. So Rin couldn't say she was surprised he'd want to get his hands on a jinchuruki by any means possible. " I'll tell the genin to avoid the old mummy later" Rin stated her mind as she looked at the snoring genin leaning against eachother in their seats.
Their conversation was interrupted as the form of Kurenai started to awaken. She cracked her puffy eyes, which were black not two hours ago, and looked at her sensei. The thing Kurenai did next surprised Rin since she didn't think about the prior incident yet. " I-is N-nar-rruto al-rrrrright?" she asked the surprised Jounin and smiling Hokage in a croaky and stuttering voice.
Rin got over her surprise and smiled at the bandaged girl, " He's fine thanks to you Kurenai-chan. If you hadn't protected him the way you did, he would e gone", Rin praised the girl. Kurenai smiled before noticing the tanto that was previously lodged in her shoulder, sitting on a cart of dirty gauze and used medical instruments. Without a further thought, she grabbed it up.
Rin looked at the genin questioningly. Kurenai managed to smirk through the soreness in her face, " I-I thhink I-I've eeearned it", she answered humorously. Rin chuckled, " I think you've earned more than that", she retorted. The Hokage nodded at this, " Indeed you have Kurenai. I never intended for you or your teammates to take such an active part in Rin's mission, so I think some A-rank hazard pay is in order for your bravery", the Hokage stated.
Kurenai blushed before her expression turned glum. " What's wrong Kurenai-chan?" Rin asked in concern. The girl sighed, " I-I was aaalmostt u-useless in ttthat fight. I-I ccouldnn't even c-casst a g-genjjjutsu before hhhe attttacked-d me. Th-the onl-ly thing I-I-I could-d-d d-dooo was k-k-kick him innn thththe groin a-and ssssssc-cream like a-a cc-civiliiian-n" Kurenai replied , downtrodden at her weakness.
The Hokage put his free hand on the girl's good shoulder, " You have to remember Kurenai, he was most likely a jonin, and you are a genin. Also, if I remember correctly, you are aspiring to become a genjutsu specialist. Most genjutsu based ninja are long range fighters for exactly the situation you were in. You were almost powerless in the fight because it was close range, and tight quarters at that.", the Hokage assured her, and Rin joined in as well, " Being a genjutsu specialist is a good goal, but even I've found that overspecializing can leave you blindsided Kurenai-chan. I have a few things I could teach you to shore up your mid range problems, and..." Rin tapped Kurenai's tanto, " your new toy could be an excellent solution for close range".
Kurenai seemed to cheer up a bit after that. Rin hadn't taught her that much before due to her concentration on Genjutsu. Sometimes she felt jealous that both Nanami and Hiroshi synced with their respective teacher while Kurenai was sort of the odd genin out. Now, after the attack, Kurenai could honestly say if Rin could teach her something that would make her a stronger kunoichi, who was she to pass it up because it wasn't her specialty? She smiled at the jounin, " H-hai Rin-s-sssensei!" she replied back as cheerful as a trauma patient could be.
Rin, happy that everything was well again, wanted to wrap things up, " Well, I'm sure dinner is a little overcooked-"
" Ah yes, the Anbu said whatever they put out in your kitchen smelled delicious" the Hokage interupted, earning a sweatdrop from Rin, "...sooo I guess we're gonna have to find alternate sustenance...Oi! Nanami! Hiroshi! Wake up already!", she hollered at the two genin, still sleeping in the chairs. They stretched and yawned before noticing Kurenai sitting up in bed.
"Kurenai! You're awake! Are you alright?" they shouted in unison. Kurenai tried to reply but Rin cut her off, " She's fine. Now let's go get something to eat before I resort to cannibalism. Hiroshi, go get a wheelchair for Kurneai" she ordered, causing the startled boy to snap at attention before flying out of the room. " Why not leave her here for monitoring?" the Hokage asked. He watched as Rin put on a scowl before replying, " I'd rather not leave her care to some of the people around this hospital. I'm a fully trained medic anyways so I can do as much for her at home, as can be done for her here." she stated cooly.
The Hokage decided it had something to do with Naruto and left it at that, " Well, I think I'll join you then, seeing as I haven't eaten since lunch. I would suggest a little ramen stand that your sensei frequented with his girlfriend", the old Hokage replied, changing the subject. Rin was about to reply when she heard something coming down the halls. squeak squeak squeak squEAK sqUEAK sQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!
The bristles on the back of Rin's head stood on end as she heard it come closer to the door, then her eye twitched and a vein popped up on her forehead, " HIROSHI! I SWEAR TO KAMI IF YOU THINK I'M GONNA LISTEN TO THAT ALL THE WAY HOME...FIND ANOTHER ONE! The squeaking stopped abruptly before starting up again, , it faded quickly into the distance before CRASH. They could hear a nurse hollering at what they guessed was Hiroshi. The Hokage and Nanami sweatdropped before the grumbling jounin turned to the Hokage, " Ramen it is", she replied bluntly as she helped dress Kurneai in her slightly tattered and stained dress.
A while later Hiroshi came back with a sheepish look and a non squeaking wheelchair. After helping Kurenai into the wheelchair, she stood back, " Alright, is everybody ready? She got two resounding and one stuttering " Hai", the last causing the first two to look shocked, " Holy shit! She can talk again!", Hiroshi stated the obvious in a less than tactful manner. Rin waved the two genin off as she got behind Kurenai's wheelchair, " Hai Hai. Worry about it later. Food time is now!" she stated. She was tired, hungry, and an Inuzuka by name, and she made it known.
[Streets of Konoha]
The strange procession made their way towards the small ramen shack, allowing the Hokage time with Naruto. Rin didn't think it was humanly possible to pull off some of the wierd faces he was making at Naruto, the infant giggling louder with each one. Rin had to smirk," You know Hokage-sama, I don't see why you didn't just take him into the Sarutobi clan", she pondered.
The Hokage seemed to sadden at the question before he spoke up, " I would have if it would have been beneficial to him. After my wife's death, there's been animosity between my sons and I. Put that with my duties and you have a clan compound with hardly anyone there at any given time. Then there's the problem with association. Why would the Hokage adopt a random orphan? Foreign powers would catch on, combined with the previous problem, and it would put him in even more danger than he is in right now. Iwa finding out would be a prime example", he stated solemly. Rin could only nod somewhat disappointingly.
The Hokage smiled at the jounin, " Don't worry Rin. If the assailant truly wasn't from Iwa, as you believe, then the secret is safe, and the mastermind has just lost a precious "tool" as he would say. He didn't have many when he was ordered to disband his organization, and I'm sure his numbers haven't increased significantly since then, so I doubt a second attempt would be too soon in the making", he stated. Rin perked up upon realizing something, she looked to the genin, " Should you be discussing this in front-". " Don't worry, they know. I've sworn them to secrecy about it before they even came to your house", the wizened leader assured Rin as they reached the flaps of none other than the Ichiraku ramen stand.
"Welcome!" they heard from a small brown lump of hair hovering from behind the counter. The group craned their necks to see a brown eyed little girl smiling up at them. "Hello little girl, is the owner of this place around?", the Sandaime asked. The girl gave off a cute pout, " I'm not liddle!. I'm aulready this many!", she protested, holding up four fingers.
" Already four. You ARE a big girl. So can you call the owner here?" Sarutobi asked the child again, this time getting a vigorous nod. The girl turned away from them and called, " TOU-SAN! SOME OLD BEARDY-FACE MAN WITH A FUNNY HAT WANTS FOOD!", causing the Hokage to facefault and the rest of the group to try and stifle their snickering. A man could be heard walking to the front, " Ayame-chan, what did I say about being polite to the custo...Hokage-sama!", he gasped when he saw the " beardy-face man" before quickly bowing to the Sandaime, " Forgive my daughter for her rudeness Hokage-sama".
After picking himself up, the Sandaime just waved it off, " Quite alright for a child and, sadly, quite accurate. So this is Ayame. How she's grown since the last time I've seen her", the Hokage reminisced whilst looking at the child bent sideways and staring at her father while he bowed. Teuchi straightened back, " Anyways, I'm sure you and your group are all hungry, so what can I get for you?", Teuchi asked the group.
After getting their orders, Teuchi went back to start cooking, dragging his daughter with him so she wouldn't cause more trouble. The group was left to sip their drinks and converse. Nanami and Hiroshi were bombarding Kurnenai with questions, and Rin and the Sandaime were fiddling over Naruto and conversing about the incident. As the conversation went on, the Hokage remembered something, " Ah, before I forget. I'll send Kurenai's payment tomorrow morning along with your weekly payment Rin", the Hokage informed the jounin, who nodded in response as she helped Kurenai reach her drink.
Hiroshi perked up upon hearing this, " She's getting paid? So what do we get?", he asked hopefully. Nanami decided to deflate his hopes, " You get dinner Baka!", she growled at him. Her attempt backfired. Unperturbed, Hiroshi put on a contemplative pose, " Hmm, a hard bargain. Throw in some "dessert" later and it's a deal!", he proclaimed at Nanami suggestively, wagging his eyebrows, and causing Nanami to blush a new shade of red before dumping the ice water pitcher over Hiroshi's head.
The Hokage just shook his head, " I can tell who Asuma has been teaching, " They're almost identical in their flirting" he stated. Rin couldn't help but laugh, " Couldn't be more true Hokage-sama. I swear, when he's not flirting, he's trying to swindle me into a da...date. Oh fff-".
"Found you!", Asuma cut her off as his head burst through the tent flaps. "Thought you could get out of a night of drinki...", he paused, and his victorious smirk disappeared as he set eyes on his father and a heavily bandaged Kurneai. He lef out a resounding sigh before speaking up again, " What happened?", he asked simply. Rin told him the story as their food was served and Asuma ordered, figuring he would be there for a while.
By the time Rin finished, Asuma looked a little disgusted and alot more pissed. He looked over to his old man, " Honestly pops, why do you even keep that gimp of a mummy around? All he seems to do is contradict everything you do and try to stab you in the back when that doesn't work. Just take him out behind a shed and slap an eploding tag on his back", he suggested bluntly. His father was imagining doing just that, and chuckled darkly, but shook it out of his head, " As much as I'd love to do that...heh...I don't have the evidence or the support. Until then, as the saying goes. " Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"", Hiruzen proclaimed.
Asuma shook his head, " There's also the saying, " Kill the snake before it bites you". And this particular one is aimed for your ass pops", Asuma retorted, pointing at the mentioned posterior. Hiruzen harrumphed, " You think a half bandaged mummy is going to get the best of me? You're a thousand years too early to be lecturing ME boy", the Sandaime fired back, fueling the argument. The two stubbornly bickered back and forth, Naruto just watching the funny men, for 5 more minutes until Asuma's food came, prompting the chunin to sit down and eat.
This was Asuma's first time here, so he was pleasantly surprised as the genin had been with the taste of the ramen, " Damn, this beats free birthday bar drinks any day! Which reminds me...", he remembered. Quickly finishing his food, he pulled out a cheap sealing scroll and unrolled it across an empty part of the counter. With a push of chakra, a cake came out. "...I...didn't have enough money for a present, but I at least had enough for a cake", he stated with a nervous smile, AFTER looking at the cake. Everybody else was too busy staring at the cake with a mix of blushes, bloody noses, drool, and an look of pure shock and horror on Rin's face, " Wh-why...WHY IS THERE A NAKED PICTURE OF ME ON THIS CAKE?", she hollered in anger.
True to her observations, there was an expertly made, icing scribed, picture of her naked form on the cake, obscenely straddling the cadle in the middle of it. Asuma nervously scratched his cheek, " Uh...yeah. The only bakery open at this time of night was an erotic cake store in the Yamanaka district. I...kinda pulled a prank on the owner back in my genin days. Looks like she got me back hahahaha!", he chuckled in a cold sweat.
Rin slammed her head into the counter eliciting a happy giggle from Naruto. She was too tired to chase him down and kill him. And really, it was kind of poetic in her exhausted state of mind, a birthday cake with a picture of her in her birthday suit. Sighing, she resigned herself to the awkward situation, " Just light the fucking candle so we can get it over with", she groaned. Asuma let out a breath of relief before smiling, " That's the spirit!", he exclaimed as he lit the candle...that looked alot like a penis now that she looked closer at it.
Before she could protest, Asuma started singing, prompting everyone else to join in, including and extremely amused looking Hokage and even Teuchi, who found he liked this batch of customers. By the time the song was finished, Rin was a shade of red that put a tomato. It didn't help that the wax from the penis candle that dripped down seemed to have lost it's peach color and just regular white.
' I wish this day would end' she thought before blowing it out, eliciting a cheer from everyone. Asuma picked off the candle, " Wanna lick the frosting off?" he asked with a chuckle. A vein bulged on Rin's forehead as she swatted it out of his hand, " NO I DON'T WANNA LICK THE DAMN FROSTING OFF!", she growled. The candle flew out of the ramen stand.
" What the hell is this?", a male voice came from the other side of the curtains. " It kinda looks like a penis candle", a very familiar female voice called back, causing Rin to pale. The curtains flapped as two people stepped in, both carrying babies. It was Yamanaka Inoichi with a wrapped bundle in the form of his two and a half month old daughter, Ino, and the other was none other than Inuzuka Tsume with a squirming Kiba.
" Oh! Here you are Nee-chan! I was wondering where you were. Having a birthday party...I...see.", she drawled out as she eyed the cake. " Umm, is that appropriate for a celebration with such people?", Inoichi asked as he tried to keep his blood in his head. Rin turned to Asuma with shaded eyes, prompting him to speak up, " Yamanaka erotic cake shop, only place open, owner pulled a prank on me", he stated quickly. Inoichi snorted, " Yuna's shop? What the hell did you do to piss her off?", Inoichi asked. Asuma sratched his head, " I can't even remember anymore, I think it had something to do with laxative.", he replied shruggingly.
" Why are you out at this time of night Inoichi? Usually you're at home now, unless..." the Hokage left off prompting Inoichi to respond. " Um...well...Izumi is having one of her..."off"...days and pretty much told me to find my own dinner, heheh", he sheepishly stated". What he left out was he had come home to hear Ino's cries being ignored by an irate wife who pretty much sighted in on him as soon as he opened the door. By the time the dust settled, Izumi locked herself in the bedroom and Ino was still crying. After seeing what Ino needed, he decided they should both let his wife cool off.
Tsume took her que after that, " Then I found the bum, wandering the streets while I was looking for Rin, and decided to go look for you together, the three of us being parents and all. I have to give you your birthday present after all", she proclaimed with a grin. Rin nodded, " Ah, I see...wait, wait, WAIT...I'm not a parent!", she argued with Tsume.
Tsume pointed at Naruto and the genin, " You have 4 kids and you're not a parent? That's funny Nee-chan! You're lucky too, you did it without stretch marks!", she stated with mock astonishment. The Hokage put on a snickered at Tsume's remark, causing Rin's eye to twitch. She swung her head to the genin, " I'm not their mother. Isn't that right guys-eh?", she stated before fixing her eyes on the two mock crying genin. " Kaa-chan! How could say such a thing?", Hiroshi wailed with Nanami picking up where he left off, " We've worked so hard just to gain your approval and love!", she sobbed. Kurenai even pitched in, " K-kaa-chan, I-I ccan't rrrreach m-my drink", she pouted trying to reach for it with her previously dislocated shoulder.
Rin slumped in defeat, her wish was looking more like a pipe dream. Tsume patted her on the back, " It's alright Nee-chan! Let's have some sexy cake and forget all about this terrible day!", she stated, receiving a chorus of agreement. Tsume turned to Asuma who had started cutting up the cake, " Yo! I got dibs on the left breast!", she called out. By this time Rin was foaming at the mouth anyways, so she wasn't really listening.
The next couple hours consisted of eating Rin...cake, a meeting of the babies, bringing Rin back to sanity, and all around a nice little celebration...as fucked up as it may have been.
Finally, everybody parted ways and Rin, with the genin in tow, dragged her ass back home. After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, hiding the apparently crotchless breastless unmentionables Tsume gave her as a present, and dragging Naurto's crib into her room for the time being until she could reconfigure the security seals, she turned to the reassembled genin. " We're taking a day off tomorrow...and this night will never be spoken of", she deadpanned with a solemn look of death. The genin didn't need to ask why, they just nodded their heads vigorously and all of them went to bed.
As Rin laid in bed and thought back on the day, she realized that it wasn't as bad as she had thought it to be. Her last genin's mental problems were starting to fade, Naruto was safe, and she could definitely say she wasn't as alone as she thought she was more than a month before. She could actually get used to this. Though, hopefully the days of birthdays, bandages, and burnt chicken would be a rarity.
?
It took a while to type this up, mainly because I've been reading fics as well.
Not much interaction between Ino and Naruto, but I felt like having them pop up for certain reasons. You'll see what I mean later.
And to those who were bored with this chapter, I'm sorry, and you have my heartfelt assurance that I don't have a heart and that I'm lying about being sorry :D
Time skip in next episode so quitcherbitchin
