"Shizune, you ready to go?" Naruto called, slipping on his ninja sandals. He fidgeted impatiently from his place in front of her front door, already wanting to go. Almost a month had passed since he'd asked Hinata to leave, and during that time, Shizune's stomach had grown exponentially. The brunette had joked that it was because of all the semen he'd pumped into her over the last thirty days, but both knew that it was impossible to hide the pregnancy any longer.
After all, she was already nearing the end of her fifth month. Together with the Hokage, the three of them had managed to coordinate a time to break the news to all of their friends at once. The woman had been nice enough not to assign missions to those on the guest list, and she'd even rented out a nice restaurant near the Hokage Tower.
Ironically, it was the same exact restaurant they'd eaten at a few months ago with Tosaeo and Sakura. A small smirk appeared on his face as he recalled the memory. Their friends had been thoroughly shocked; and that was an understatement. If he remembered correctly Kiba had choked on his own drink, and Shikamaru nearly swallowed his cigarette. Unfortunately, his mirth only lasted for a few seconds; he and Shizune were immediately bombarded with shouts and questions, most of them asking about how they could be so stupid.
It'd taken well over an hour, but with help from the Hokage, they'd been able to calm everyone down enough so that they could properly explain the situation. Their friends still weren't happy with what had happened, but they were at least supportive. In fact, once they'd heard how everything had happened, the girls (minus Hinata, who hadn't shown up) had swarmed the mednin with plans for baby showers and shopping for baby clothes. The guys, unfortunately, were a little less understanding. Neji, Chouji, Sai, Kakashi, and Yamato were the only ones who hadn't been overly upset by the news. He could sort of understand why most of the males were angry, but Shikamaru's anger had literally blind sided him (not that he gave a fuck). According to the strategist himself, he was disappointed that Naruto hadn't come to him for help.
They were friends after all, and having been through a particularly tough pregnancy with Kurenai, the jounin could have given him an ample amount of advice on what to expect. All in all, though, things had turned out much better than they'd hoped. Shizune slowly walked out of her bedroom, holding a hand over her enlarged stomach. She wore a tight fitting, dark, long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark pants, not bothering to hide her pregnant appearance anymore.
Now that their friends knew, there really was no point; everyone else would find out eventually, either from word of mouth or simply by seeing her walking down the street.
Smiling, Naruto reached an arm out and wrapped her in a one armed hug. "You look beautiful." Shizune scowled up at him. "You're just saying that." His grin widening, he nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. "Maaaybe." She playfully swung her purse at him, pouting when he managed to maneuver just out of reach of the leather bag.
"But I also mean it." The serious look in his eyes caused her to blush, and she shyly averted her gaze towards her feet. "You'd think I'd be used to your corny lines by now," she mumbled, slipping on her sandals. Standing up, she coughed lightly before looping her arm through his and walking out the door. As they walked arm in arm down the street, they received dozens upon dozens of shocked and curious looks from civilians and shinobi alike, every single one of them unable to believe what they were seeing Shizune, one of the apprentice of tsunade was pregnant.
Those who knew of her track record with kids and small animals alike shuddered in pity for the poor soul that would be born into the world as her child, and others were simply surprised that someone had actually managed to get close enough to the girl to impregnate her. It was no secret to anyone that getting a date with the kunoichi was next to impossible.
Hell, you'd have a better chance of escaping from Orochimaru with your anal virginity intact than to even get a cup of tea with the usually dead serious jounin. Not one person among the crowd could figure out how the two had managed to hook up, let alone have a baby.
No matter how they looked at it, Naruto and Shizune didn't match at all. They were both pleased to see that there weren't nearly as many angry or appalled stares as they'd expected, and those that did glare at them were either old buzzards stuck in the past or teenagers around their age who'd had a crush on one or both of them.
Despite the wide variety of opinions, they could all agree on one thing; whatever baby they produced would be the scariest motherfucker who ever lived. "So, were you worried about what everyone would say once they found out about us?" she joked, gripping his arm tighter against her chest.
"To be honest, I was more worried about myself than anyone else." Shziune laughed again, finding the pained look on his face absolutely hilarious. "What, just because the Hokage beat you up last time? That's only one person, and I promised that I'd protect you from Sakura. If worse came to worse, you could have used me as a human meat shield." The blond lifted an eyebrow at the girl walking by his side.
"I don't know whether to be amused or worried that you'd actually hop in the way of haruno's fist. But if that did happen I would break that idiots hands." The kunoichi laughed harder. If there was one thing she could say about their strange relationship, it was that it was never boring. With Hinata out of the picture, the two of them had finally been able to work through most of their issues starting from the first night of drunken sex.
It had taken nearly an entire week of talking, arguing, and admittedly sex, but they'd both realized that most of their problems had been simple misunderstandings. The only thing that bugged Naruto was that she still wouldn't tell him exactly what the Hyuuga had said to her to make her so afraid, claiming that it was something she wasn't yet ready to discuss. Still, they'd both been pleasantly surprised to learn that they had much more in common than they'd originally thought.
"Isn't the house around here?" Naruto asked, looking around at the surrounding scenery. It was a fairly unpopulated area on the outskirts of the village, surrounded by droves of trees and tall grass. As far as he could see, there were only four houses in the wooded clearing; all of which looked dilapitated and abandoned.
Shizune reached into her purse and produced a small slip of paper, glancing over it before pointing towards the house a few dozen feet away. "It's that one! She said it'd be the house with the apple tree in the front yard." Following her finger, the blond's face dropped. While he hadn't been expecting much in the first place, the house that stood before them was simply hideous. The paint was nearly gone, the yard was unkempt, the apple tree was half dead, and the place looked like it could fall apart at any moment. He turned his disappointed gaze on the excited girl to his left. "Ne, shizune. Are you stupid?" The ravenette puffed out her cheeks, turning her dark brown eyes on him in obvious annoyance.
"Quite you! Real estate in Konoha isn't cheap you know, and this is the only place in the village we could buy without a loan!"
"...Why don't we just take out a loan, then? Couldn't we get a better place if we did that? Besides, this whole neighborhood is abandoned! Did you ever think that it was empty for a reason?"
"No! A loan would just add to our financial problems, and after doing some math, I realized that we'd barely have enough money left over every month for the bare necessities let alone a child." The blond still looked unconvinced, so she poked out her lip and widened her eyes in an attempt to win him over another way. "Please? Let's just look at the inside first, and if you still don't like it, I promise we can go somewhere else." Naruto frowned down at her. Was she really trying to use cuteness to get her way? Shizune was a lot of things gorgeous, sexy, strong but cute wasn't one of them. Still, he rolled his eyes and began to walk towards the house. He'd let her think she won this time.
"ugh..Fine." The jounin's face lit up, and she grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the broken down house. They reached the front door in a matter of seconds, after knocking a few times on the front door, Shizune slowly turned the knob and opened it. "Excuse me? Is anyone in here?" she called, poking her head inside the house.
No sooner had the words left her mouth did a brown haired woman pop out from one of the adjacent rooms, causing the girl to blink a little in surprise. She'd barely been able to sense her presence; something that was slightly shameful to her as a shinobi. "Ah! Uzumaki- san, right?! Come in, come in! You're right on time!"
Naruto lifted an eyebrow at the woman's uncanny exuberance. At first glance, the woman didn't seem like the type to have such a cheerful personality. She looked to be in her early thirties judging by the minute wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. A pair of horn rimmed glasses were perched prominently on her nose, and the simple, dark kimono she wore gave her an air of maturity. In the back of his mind, he wondered if all real estate agents dressed so formally. Somehow, though, he felt as if it was just her. He stepped into the house and looked around, finding the place to be in much better shape than he'd thought it would be.
The wallpaper was dingy with age and mold, but if the walls were solid enough, they could easily either paint over or remove the paper altogether. A simple, dark wood stairway leading to the second floor rested in the corner, and two doors were embedded into the opposite wall.
"I'm Kimiko, your real estate agent! Hokage- sama says you're looking for a place to buy, and there's no better place than here! This way, this way! I'll show you around the house!" The real estate agent seemed to literally bounce towards the door, and shooting each other unsure glances, the shinobi followed her into the next room. "Here's the kitchen! It's really, really dirty right now, but I'm sure you'll have no trouble cleaning it up! It comes with a stove and refridgerator, too, so you can save a bit of money on appliances!"
They walked through the kitchen towards the door in front of them. "Through this door is the dining room! It's connected to the living room, and if you go through the door to your left, it'll take you back to the main hallway!" Shizune's smile was threatening to split her face in half as she was shown the house. Except for the excessive amounts of dust and dirt marring the walls and floors, it looked to be in pretty good shape.
Even Naruto had to admit that it was better than what he'd been expecting. After viewing the downstairs bathroom, the couple followed the woman up the small staircase leading to the second floor.
"The second floor is the best part of the house. All three of the bedrooms are located up here, along with another bathroom in the master bedroom," the woman said, opening the door to the largest room. Both shinobi nearly gasped at the size of it.
It was bigger than both of their rooms put together; though that wasn't saying much. "It's the perfect size for newlyweds such as yourselves!" The ninja froze. Newlyweds? Them? They exchanged surprised glances, unable to believe the insinuation of the real estate agent. "Uh...we're not married," Shizune mumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed by the statement. Kimiko too looked embarrassed, and dipped her head in apology.
"I'm sorry! I just sort of assumed since..." her eyes dropped to the kunoichi's stomach for a split second, immediately revealing her train of thought to the couple.
"It's completely my fault! Though I'm sure it doesn't bother you since you're dating with that purpose in mind, right?" Once again, the teens looked at each other. Scratching the back of his head, Naruto put on a blank face.
"We're not really dating, either." This time, the woman looked positively shocked. Rather than say anything else to potentially make things more awkward, she turned to lead them back towards the hallway.
"Ah...well, let's move on, shall we?" Although she was trying to change the subject, the awkwardness among them remained; most of it coming from Naruto and Shizune. The two of them barely spoke for the rest of the tour, only answering with a simple 'yes' or 'no' when asked a question.
By the time they'd finished viewing the house, the uncomfortable atmosphere surrounding them had become unbearable, so the real estate agent wisely excused herself claiming that she had another appointment on the other side of the village. "So...what do you think?"
Shizune asked, glancing at the blond from the corner of her eye as they walked back towards the inner part of the village. Naruto shrugged lightly, placing his hands behind his head. "It's fine with me.
Other than it being really dirty, I didn't see much wrong with it." The girl smiled, causing the boy at her side to do the same. He loved her smile. Her real smile, anyway. He'd been lucky enough to see a lot of it recently, and took great pride in knowing that he was the one who put it there. If he had it his way, he'd make her smile forever.
He grabbed the surprised ravenette's hand and focused on his nearest seal, using the Hiraishin no Jutsu to transport them closer to the village. They bounced from the outskirts to the center of the village, stopping only every second or so to locate the next seal.
"What are you doing?!" she gasped, trying to catch her breath after being pulled around for what seemed like hours. It was her first time experiencing the Hiraishin no Jutsu first hand. She looked around to see that they were on top of the Hokage Monument; more specifically, they were on top of the Fourth's head. Naruto placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her towards him.
"Shizune, will you go out with me you maybe later if you want me to stay maybe, someday you will be Miss Uzumaki?" The girl could only stare up at him. Her eyes were wide, her mouth was open, and her arms hung limp at her sides.
Out of all the questions that had run through her head that was one of the last things she expected him to ask her. Rather than answer, she launched herself at him full force and planted a deep, wet kiss directly onto his lips. "So, I guess that's a yes?" he asked when she pulled away long enough for him to speak. She looked up at him with the most venomous glare she could manage. "Cheat on me and I'll kill you." Smirking, he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers, immediately wiping the angry look from her face.
"I wouldn't dream of it."
With Obito
Inside a dark cave the only light in the dark is a few candles. Cave is a man with black spiky hair, an akatsuki cloak, and an orange spiraling mask allowing him to see out of his left eye. This the real leader of the akatuski Obito who has numerous of names Madara and Tobi, also the cause of the kyuubi attack on konoha also, the cause of the bloodline civil war in Kiri.
Next to him is a man who resembles a Venus fly trap with half is face black and white with yellow eyes. This is the akatsuki spy Zetsu.
Obito is stressing over due to the kyuubi Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki ruining his plans with killing Sasuke, Kabuto, and Orochimaru; have set Obito far behind he thought Naruto Uzumaki was still the same blonde knucklehead idiot brat but it seems that information was wrong all of it was wrong Naruto Uzumaki was never an idiot he's been very smart not just that but he seem to be a prodigy also, a prodigy in fuinjutsu one of the most dangerous arts in the ninja world and not just that but it made the uzumaki clan feared because of it and now another uzumaki knows fuinjtsu.
"Obito what will you do now, that Sasuke Uhicha, Orochimaru, and Kabuto are dead? I mean originally you were hoping Sasuke will kill Orochimaru and then using Sasuke and maybe Kabuto to. I mean the only people know the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation." Said Zetsu looking at a stress Obito pacing all around it would be funny if it wasn't so pitiful and sad.
"I have no idea the plan was when Sasuke kill Orochimaru he would then go after Itachi he would be so obsessed with his hatred he then he want to kill everyone who's responsible of itachi going rogue then it would be easy to manipulate him."
"Then I would get him to kill Danzo after that I would go to Kabuto get my army but now all those plans are out the window thanks to Uzumaki." God Dammit everything is ruin now that Uzumaki killed all my main pawns!"
"The only pawns you have now is Kisame and the rest of the akatsuki but you also seem to forget you have the white zetsu army".
"Yes that can work I can we can still kidnap Yamuto to use his Mokuton to empower the white zetsu army. And maybe you can learn the Impure World Reincarnation we could also infuse Orochimaru's cell into you to make you even stronger". Obito now having the famous uhicha arrogant smirk thinking how superior he is to everyone what being raised by a bunch of arrogant power hungry uhichas will do that to someone.
"Yes that could world with the cells of both Orochimaru and Hashirama that can work" said Black Zetsu finally getting involve in the conversation.
"Now that we have another plan infinite Tsukuyomi will continue has plan I will report back the akatsuki base and you Zetsu will go to the hidden village of sound and will retrieve the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu and Orochimaru cells.
"Yes Obito"
Land of Amegakure
The base of the akatuski there are 7 people in holograms except Pein aka Nagato and Konan.
"With the loss of 3 members we are short but thanks to the Kyuubi jinchuriki he had dealt with orochimaru. Deidara Tobi how did taking the Saiken Jinchuriki." Go turning his attention to the blonde and ravenette.
"It good he didn't stand a chance hmm" said Deidara in a smug confident cocky tone."Yea what Deidara-sempai said we did good we were even able to kill his apprentice.
"Yea, even thooug Tobi is an idiot he's right but I want to kill the kyuubi junchuriki for taking my kill Orchimaru yea."
"No Deidara I will take the kyuubi on the kyuubi jinchuriki" "Does anyone have a problem with that" said in a tone daring anyone to disagree with him. "No Pein-sama".
"Kisame I want you and Itachi to go after the Gyuki Jinchuriki I doubt both of you will need to take him on but it's more saver having you to together than one of."
"Yes Pein-sama' said both Itachi and Kisame.
