Hinata stood and watched as Itachi sparred with Kisame and Deidara at the same time. She was not comfortable about joining up with them and living with them. They were trying to hurt her friends and family back in the Leaf. But she soon found out that all the members of the Akatsuki left Leader and have vowed to kill him. Once they realized that they were just using them to get what he wanted.
A soft sigh pulled her from her thoughts as she looked down at the first of the many children that she and Itachi wanted. She gave him a son as his first child and she could still see the pride shinning in his eyes when he was told what she had. They decided on the name Kenryuku.
The first few days after she left the Leaf with him when she told Naruto that she was pregnant, they spent moving constantly. She was scared that Naruto would have went back and told her father and he would have found a way to find her and make her go home with him. But she was glad that it didn't happen.
"Hinata?"
Hinata shook her head then smiled up at Itachi as he came to a stop in front of her. "Just remembering the day that Kenryuku was born."
"I see." Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead then looked down at his son in her arms. He had her eyes. And he only hoped that he would not only be able to use the Byakugan, but also the Sharingan.
"Do you think that Leader will come for him Itachi?"
Itachi smiled. "By the time he gets the nerve to come after him, he will be strong enough to take him down without blinking an eye. He is strong one on one. But with all of us here, he wouldn't stand a chance and he knows it." Then he glared as he turned and looked into the bushes. "Well then. How did you find us?"
Hinata looked around Itachi to gasp when Naruto came out of the bushes. "Naruto!"
Naruto still had the haunted look in his eyes when he saw Hinata willingly step into Itachi's arms six months before. "I came to see if you were alright."
Hinata sighed. "I am fine."
"So you are one of them now aren't you?"
Itachi glared as his Mongekyo Sharingan flared to life. "Watch your mouth Naruto."
Hinata sighed as she stepped around Itachi with the baby smiling at his gasp. "I am me. Regardless of who I live with. Of who I chose to be with. I am who I am Naruto. I know that this must sound crazy to you but this is where I truly feel like I belong. I really feel like I am home here with Itachi and the others."
Naruto half heard what she said as he starred at the tiny baby in her arms. "When did you have the baby?"
Hinata smiled down at her son. "Just a few days ago. His name is Kenryuku Uchiha."
Naruto ducked his head as he turned to leave. "I didn't tell anyone what happened. I won't tell them this either. But just a friendly warning between friends Hinata. Don't come anywhere near the Leaf. Your name is in the Bingo Book now."
Hinata sighed. "I figured that Naruto. I wouldn't mind you coming to check on me but if you are only going to be like this then don't ever come back near me. Understand me Naruto? I made my choice. I won't go back on it. I don't want to hear you talking about how I am a traitor and everything else. Just go." Then she sighed as he walked off.
Itachi glared. "If he found us…."
"Then the Aunbu Black Ops aren't far behind them. We need to move."
"Exactly. First thing in the morning."

Later that night Itachi and Hinata lay in bed with their son between them. "Itachi, we need to leave the country. Go across the sea. Just until he is old enough to fight and defend himself."
"I was thinking the same thing. It won't be so easy for the Leaf to find us there. But that isn't all that is bothering you is it Hinata?"
"No. It isn't. If I was to be captured by them and then killed for following my heart, so be it then. It would be my blood on their hands. But it is Kenryuku. What would they do with him?"
Itachi reached over and cupped her face with a smile. "Nothing. To either one of you. They won't find you. Get some sleep. We leave early. I will carry you and Kenryuku. We go across the sea."
Hinata leaned over her son and kissed her husband. "I love you Itachi."
Itachi smiled. "I love you." Then he smiled as he watched Hinata curl up with their son and quickly drift off to sleep. 'I swear I will protect you. So will the others. They know that he is the only hope of defeating Leader. Then we will take control of the Leaf and make it into a place you want it to be.'
