Revealed Connections

Chapter 10

It was a quiet, peaceful time in Konoha. The biggest news at the time was the birth of Aburame Senkou, son of Shino and Yuki. Weighing in at whopping 15 pounds he was the second biggest baby born in Konoha in over fifty years. The record holder was Senkou's great uncle, Miyamoto Geninji, who was 20 pounds when he was born. Although Haruno Ohanami listened to the recent gossip about the big Aburame baby, she knew there was something even bigger than that going on in the Hidden Leaf. She had yet to come to terms with what happened a few days before with her daughter at the hospital. She was visiting with Sakura after her emergency with the baby when the Rokudaime showed up all of a sudden. At first she couldn't figure out why he was there. Even if it was a courtesy visit Tsunade-san had told her she was only allowing immediate family to see her daughter. Seeing her mother's confusion, Sakura explained that Uzumaki-sama had every right to be there because he's the baby's father. To say that Ohanami was stunned was an understatement. On one hand she was thrilled that her first grandchild would be born soon. On the other hand she wasn't comfortable with the married Hokage being the father of her grandchild. From the start Ohanami-san had the utmost respect for the Hokage but this situation with her daughter had her filled with conflicting emotions about him now. From the way he spoke to Sakura at the hospital she got the feeling he cared for her very much. He even mentioned that his wife was concerned about her too, which made the situation seem even stranger to her. Uzumaki-san even spoke to Ohanami with respect as Sakura's mother and reassured her that her grandchild would be cared for and loved. Haruno-san wanted so much to be understanding, but all of this was too much for her to swallow right now.

In the meantime, word of the Hokage's baby situation eventually got back to the council elders, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. They never really cared too much for Naruto, but had reluctantly come to respect Tsunade's decision to make him her successor. Now because of this situation they thought maybe they had some ammunition to back up their opinion that he should step down. Their only problem was that they were no longer the only one's on the council. Jiraiya and Tsunade had become Naruto's special advisors since he had become Rokudaime. The two elders figured Jiraiya, with his perverted sensibilities, would support Naruto's actions, but they weren't sure about Tsunade. Any vote for the Hokage to step down had to be unanimous. They hoped to be able to convince the other two council members that it would be best for the Hidden Leaf if Naruto did so.

It was pretty warm that morning, but there was a slight chill in the atmosphere in the council meeting room. The Hokage, his pregnant wife and mistress, all sat on the platform before the four council members. Mitokado-san and Utatane -san were present with their usual stern expressions while Jiraiya sat there with his arms folded across his chest with a smirk on his face. Tsunade's expression was pretty much unreadable. The others had no idea what thoughts were running through her mind right then. Koharu-san opened the meeting with what would have been a long drawn out speech about preserving the dignity of the position of Hokage if Jiraiya hadn't urged her to get to the point.

"My point is that as Hokage you must conduct yourself in a respectable manner as a good example to others, especially the younger generations."

She then grew quiet to allow the other council members to say their piece. Homura-san agreed with Koharu-san, which was expected. Jiraiya-san supported the Hokage, which was also expected. Everyone then looked to Tsunade to see what she had to say.

"I'd just like to know how any of this will negatively effect the Hidden Leaf. I mean, the Hokage is obviously happy as well as his wife and companion. And I say as long as we have a happy Hokage we'll be better off than with a miserable one."

"I figured you'd take his side," Koharu-san snorted as she gave Tsunade a disapproving glare.

"I still don't see how what they are doing is negative. It's not like he's not taking responsibility for both babies and both mothers. He's nothing like Akimichi Choji, who reportedly has fathered four children by four different women and barely spends time with his own kids. Now that's irresponsible."

"Indeed it is, but Akimichi-san is not Hokage!"

All the while Naruto was getting very irritated that the council was discussing them as if they weren't even there. He finally spoke up.

"Hey, I have something to say here!" The two women grew silent and looked towards the platform. "Look, you old bag, I've done nothing but put my life on the line to protect this village even before I became Hokage. So what in the world does my romantic life have to do with me doing my job, huh? This whole meeting's been a waste of time so I'm going to do the responsible thing and end it right now! Tsunade-san, Jiraiya-san, thank you for continuing to believe in me. As for you two old farts, FUCK YOU! Or better yet, go fuck each other since you're probably just jealous that I have a great sex life anyway. And from now on I want you to leave us alone or you'll regret pissing me off any more than you already have! This meeting is over. If you have anything else to say, tell it to my ass!"

Tsnunade lifted her hands in a gesture of utter defeat. She had wanted this all to end peacefully, but with Naruto's temper that was impossible. Jiraiya simply left with a big grin on his face. He was happy it was over because he had something special in store for Suki. Koharu and Homura were now furious with the Hokage for speaking to them in such a manner. Koharu's face was steaming as she spit curses at Naruto. Homura dragged her away telling her that he wasn't worth a heart attack. After all council members had cleared the room Hinata finally spoke.

"Naruto-kun…that was so awesome how you told off that old hag! It's so exciting seeing you speak your mind like that!" She hugged her husband around the neck and kissed his cheek. "I also think you look super sexy when you talk like that," she whispered into his ear before gently nibbling the lobe. That's when a pair of big blue eyes flew wide open and that famous foxy grin made its debut. Naruto realized that his emotional outburst had gotten all three of them pretty excited, and they were still tense from the atmosphere at the meeting. Sakura then suggested that they make use of the Hokage's mineral bath. It was just like a personal hot spring and had plenty of room to relax and play.

After letting Yusuke-san know he wasn't taking anymore appointments that day unless they were absolute emergencies, Naruto prepared the bath for his ladies. They really appreciated being pampered this way. Anything to help relieve their swollen ankles and any discomfort that comes along with pregnancy was very much welcome. Hinata and Sakura didn't waste any time settling down in the steaming waters. They chatted and cuddled while they waited for Naruto to join them. They weren't at all surprised when two Narutos showed up. They supposed he was in the mood for the 'guess which is the clone' game. So far neither woman was ever able to guess right, but they had so much fun trying. The two Hokages started off giving each woman a much needed shoulder massage. Both of their cheeks were slightly pink from both the heat from the bath waters and Naruto's magic fingers. Naruto number one was sitting behind Sakura massaging her breasts while Naruto number two knelt in front of Hinata as he kissed her and rubbed her belly. He occasionally reached up to gently pull on Hinata's nipples, which had gotten darker in color, longer, and more sensitive over time. He then leaned down to suckle on each one as he gently splashed the steamy waters over her shoulders with his hands. All his stroking and suckling was causing Hinata to become quite relaxed to the point that she didn't care whether he was a clone or not. That's usually how it went anyway.

While Hinata was getting the royal treatment, Sakura was doing just as well. Naruto number one was massaging her breasts in earnest now. Her B-cups had swollen to almost D-cup size in the past few months so they were now quite a handful. He would occasionally splash water onto her nipples, which would leak clear colostrum as he squeezed. He then ran his hands down her belly to reach between her thighs to slide his hands over her outer folds. Sakura leaned back to kiss Naruto number one on his chin as he slid his fingers deeper inside of her with each stroke. He leaned his face into hers to return the kiss as he massaged her tight walls. Meanwhile Naruto number two had Hinata laying by the mineral bath on one thick towel with another laying on top of her to protect her from exposure to the air. Her lower body was kept warm by his. He had her ankles on each of his shoulders and was nestled deep inside of his wife. He kept still for a moment to enjoy the warmth of her womanhood as he massaged her stretched belly. Hinata giggled as he traced the dark line down the center of her belly with a finger before leaning forward to give her tummy a little kiss. Her giggles became deep, throaty moans as he pulled out of her then slowly pushed back in. When Hinata turned her head to the side she could see the other Naruto had Sakura facing him bouncing on his lap. He would pause every few thrusts to suckle on Sakura's pink nipples causing her to pant in ecstasy. The surrounding atmosphere was now filled with steam from the bath and their combined passion. Both Narutos clung to each beautiful woman as they gave into that feeling of wonderful release before both of them disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"They were both clones?" both women gasped in surprise simultaneously as the Hokage stepped from the shadows.

"Oh yeah, and they gave a great show as I thought they would!" Naruto commented with a grin as he slipped off his kimono and joined them in the bath. "Although I did enjoy watching, now it's my turn." He gently pulled both women to each side of him to start their fun all over again.

The Rokudaime and his precious loves weren't the only ones enjoying carnal pleasures. A certain ANBU interrogator was basking in the afterglow of a most enjoyable session with Hatake-san. There was no bondage, no discipline, just straight, hot, sweaty, box-spring breaking sex. He always got like this before leaving on an A-rank mission. Megumi never asked about his missions, keeping with the ANBU protocol. He also showed her the same respect. Kakashi was leaving that night and most likely wouldn't be back for over a week so a good fuck was just what he needed to hold him until he got back. After Hatake-san left for his mission, Megumi headed to her post at the Hokage's tower. She had gotten word from another ANBU captain that a spy had been captured that had asked for her by name. No one was able to get anything out of him except that he only wanted to speak to her.

When she entered the interrogation room she wasn't impressed by the sight before her. In the center of the room sat a pitiful looking bespectacled man with long, gray hair. She could tell just by looking at him that the man was ill and thought it was no wonder he was so easily captured. At the same time something didn't seem right to her.

"I was told you requested me by name. What could you possibly want with me, Yakushi Kabuto?" Megumi inquired. She didn't even bother using her genjutsu because she could sense that his chakra was very weak and dwindling by the minute.

"So you've finally come, Megumi...or should I say Experiment 169?"

Just hearing those last few words from him caused something to snap in Megumi's mind. She suddenly felt very heavy and could smell damp grass all around her. She couldn't move or make a sound, but she could see and hear everything around her. The bloody corpse of a man laid about fifteen feet from her. She could hear the voice of a woman screaming hysterically until another voice that was cold and uncaring silenced her.

"It's a shame that Sanosuke felt it necessary to destroy one of my best experiments. The child had such great potential." The tall man then kicked the man's corpse and spat on his face. "Come, Ayame. I can still get some use out of you, after all. That stupid husband of yours isn't even worth mourning," the tall, pale man hissed. The now quiet woman just stood there for a moment, her spirit obviously broken.

"Please, Orochimaru-sama, let me have one last moment with him."

"Very well," he sighed. "Just make sure to be back at the lab in ten minutes."

The woman simply nodded as the serpent shinobi left the scene. After a few minutes Ayame walked over to the dead body of her husband and pulled the kunai from his chest . She then set the kunai in his chest cavity so that the blade was sticking up, took a deep breath, then fell heavily on the blade. She fell in such a way that her face landed on her husband's making it appear as if they had shared a kiss of death. After what seemed like hours Megumi found that she was able to move, so she came out of her hiding place. She walked over to the two dead bodies and peered down at them. She had never seen so much blood. It literally soaked the ground. After seeing this she did all she knew to do. She ran. She ran until she couldn't run anymore.

All this time Kabuto sat quietly in the interrogation seat watching Megumi, who was now a trembling mess on the floor. He had never met Megumi before but he figured out who she was after he saw those eyes of hers. He thought they were very much like his eyes. Those same eyes which stared back at him full of terror and shame.

"I'm sorry I had to cause you to remember such obviously painful things, but I had to know for sure it was you. Orochimaru had assumed Sanosuke had drowned you and your body had washed down stream. You were not even on my radar until I recently heard that there was a shinobi here who used her voice as part of her genjutsu. That got me curious. Finding you only became urgent after this damned incurable disease started eating away at my chakra. Listen, you and I both know you don't belong here. If they ever find out who and what you really are you'll surely be killed. Besides, your mother's brother wanted to see you for himself. As for me, I only have one request. Please return my remains to my wife and son. Even if you don't decide to return to us, at least let my family bury me themselves."

Megumi didn't know what to do. Hearing all this had shaken her to the core. Deep inside of her she felt like the Hidden Leaf wasn't her true home, but she kept those feelings buried deep inside of her. She knew she had to have come from somewhere else since Tsunade had found her wandering outside of Konoha, but somehow she had forgotten everything about her past except her given name. After those horrible memories flooded back to the forefront of her mind she understood why she had to forget almost everything. Otherwise she would have completely lost her mind. She felt she was on the verge of that right then when she looked over at the chair. Kabuto was slumped over with unseeing eyes staring at nothing in particular. Megumi had so many questions for him, but there was no use asking a dead man.

Next Chapter: What will Megumi do now that she remembers her true origin? Also, Kakashi gets an S-rank mission even he's not sure he can carry out. Things are about to take a bloody turn. On a happy note, the Uzumaki babies are born.
