Chapter 7:
Team 7 managed to arrive in The World That Never Was, and faced a seemingly unlimited number of shadows. Sighing, they readied their weapons. Team 7 gets rid of all the shadows in one alley, and moved on to the next. The process repeats, until eventually, a new type of heartless appear, Neoshadows. The Neoshadows were stronger and more annoying then the shadows, but they were eventually taken care of. When they reach the castle, Naruto commented on the scenery,
"It's quiet here. Too quiet…"
"Look out!"
Naruto manages to deflect the bullet with his key blade, a new type of nobody appeared, the Snipers.
'Snipers?' Thought Naruto. 'Just great…'
About ten snipers surround Naruto, and shoot bullets at him.
"Reflega!" The bullets are deflected, and kill the Snipers, but many more appear.
'Gah! That's it!'
Naruto uses a body flicker , and reappears in front of all the nobody's and takes them down, one by one. Naruto reappears in front of Sasuke.
"You stole all the fun, Naruto." Grumbled Sasuke.
"Should have jumped in sooner…"
Shaking his head, Sasuke starts walking away. Naruto and Hinata quickly follow.
Team 7 was getting tired of all of the heartless and nobody's. They faced about 10 different types of nobody's already, including Dusks, Creepers, Dancers, Samurai, Assassin, Gamblers (which turned them into dice or cards), Snipers, Dragoons, Sorcerer, and the real pain, the Beserkers.
"ARGH! Enough with the nobody's!" Yelled out Naruto as he finished wiping out the last one…at least for now.
Progressing through the castle, they kept coming, and Team 7 continued to get rid of them, but were getting tired quickly. In fact, they were so tired, that a stream of bullets nearly hit Naruto. However, his Saiyougan catches it, and on instinct, he performed Reflega.
"Who shot that!"
"The Free shooter of Organization XIII, member number II, Xigbar! Hold still would you!" Team 7 scatters, avoiding all of Xigbar's shots. Naruto and Hinata notice that they can't do their Kaiten for some reason, so they work to dodge rather then deflect the bullets, until Naruto remembered that he could reflect the bullets back.
"Ah time to reload." 'Reload? He doesn't have unlimited ammo!' Thought the members of Team 7. 'When he reloads, that will be our chance.'
Xigbar kept disappearing and reappearing in random places, shooting Team 7, but especially Naruto. The area around Team 7 warps, becoming a square platform. Xigbar appears in the middle, and starts shooting Naruto. Naruto puts up a hasty guard, but the bullets pass through the guard, and a steady stream of bullets hits Naruto. 'Got to make sure to dodge that next time…' The arena comes back to the way that it was before. "Ah time to reload." 'Now's my chance!'
"Blizzarga!"
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"
"Thunderga!"
"Oh fu…'
Xigbar is frozen solid, then melted with the multiple fireballs, and electrocuted with the Thunderga. Xigbar drops to his knees. When he shakily stands up, his gun disappears.
"Heh, look's like my time is up." 'But Luxord, Saix, or maybe Xemnas will finish what I started…' With that, Xigbar starts to fade away. "Wait, where are the other members?" Asked Naruto.
"Heh, wouldn't you like to know…" Said Xigbar, before he vanished with a smirk.
"Damn it, he's gone." Naruto said.
"Hmph, he was a horrible sniper…" Added Sasuke. Hinata chooses to once again, shake her head, not willing to make a comment.
"Hey, Hina-chan, are you all right? You haven't said anything in a while…"
"Oh, sorry Naru-chan. I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Just stuff."
"Well, onwards!" Naruto continues walking. Hinata and Sasuke follow, unsure of whether or not Naruto needs their help anymore. However, they resolve to stay at least until Organization XIII is defeated.
The castle seemed deserted, deprived of what remained of Organization XIII. However, as they continued to explore, they found seemingly infinite amounts of Nobody's and heartless. Five days had passed, and they finally encountered a member, who was staring at the moon. Without warning, he turns around and faces team 7.
"So, this is the infamous team 7, the group that eliminated the weak members of our Organization, 10 of them, I believe."
"Not quite, the Key of Destiny and the Flurry of Dancing Flames, Roxas and Axel, are still alive."
"Those traitors? Hahaha, traitors to the Organization do not belong in our ranks anymore. I, Saix, the Luna Diviner of Organization XIII, member VII, will make sure of that!" Saix holds a giant sword, a claymore colored blue, but only seeing the narrow side of it, until he abruptly turns it, revealing the spiked moon on the tip. He holds it in a reverse grip, the claymore behind him.
"Gulp." 'That thing looks very lethal...' Team 7 thought nervously as they summoned their weapons. Saix starts running at them, with his blade hitting the ground in front of him, making lethal shockwaves, which Team 7 avoids at all costs.
'Wait a minute! What's that white aura surrounding him? Is he drawing power from the moon? Must be, after all, he is the Luna Diviner…I'll snap him out of it!' Thought Naruto, who body flickered behind him, smacking him out of his beserk state. "I see…I underestimated you…beserkers! Arise!"
About 4 beserker nobody's appear and separate Team 7. 2 of them confront Hinata, and the other two confront Sasuke, leaving Saix and Naruto facing each other. Saix casts a barrier, preventing any interference from Sasuke and Hinata. 'Great, just great.' Saix, absorbing the power of the moon, begins rushing at Naruto again. His claymore continues to make shockwaves, which Naruto has to leap into the air to dodge them properly. 'That's it!'
Hinata and Sasuke, having already eliminated the Beserkers, could only watch helplessly when they discovered an invisible barrier separating them from Naruto. Naruto meanwhile, flickers toward Saix and smacks him around a bit. Saix counter-attacks by bringing his Claymore on Naruto's head, but to Saix's surprise, all he hears is a clang. 'Dobe, Konoha's number one unpredictable ninja, head full of rocks…' Thought Sasuke while smirking, while Hinata was worrying, and wondering if Naruto was all right. Naruto smirks, then performs some handseals. Sasuke had his Sharingan activated, but he couldn't copy Naruto's jutsu. "Kitsune-bi Release: Rapid Fire Flame Blast!" Naruto's nine tails have their tips surrounded by fox fire, and he quickly fires them like a machine gun. Saix takes the attack to his chest, and receives heavy damage, eventually dropping his claymore. After the rapid fire attack, Saix stumbles to the moon. "Where…where is my heart?" With that, he dissolves into nothing. The barriers collapse. Naruto falls to his knees. Hinata is immediately at his side.
"That was a tough battle, and that new technique drained more chakra then I thought, but I'm all right. What about you two?"
"We're fine, hasn't it been about a year in Konoha yet? Shouldn't you be heading back?"
"Oh yeah, well I have no way of getting back."
"I'll help you out." A dark portal appears and out steps a familiar face, with spiky red hair and green eyes.
"Ah Axel. Yes, you could help, but how would we get back?"
"I'll go with you. I need a vacation anyways." 'Especially since Roxas is gone…' Axel opens up a dark portal, and motions for Team 7 to go through, which they do. Axel closes it after stepping in.
-Back in Konoha-
"Ah, it's good to be home!" Exclaimed Naruto, while Hinata spots her two kids.
"Kaa-san! Otou-san!" The kids said as they hugged their parents.
"Hey, it's good to see you too, but I need to see Tsunade-baa-chan." Naruto said as he quickly ran to the tower.
'And I need to see Haku.' Thought Sasuke, who disappeared.
"What am I, chopped liver?" Axel asked.
"Don't worry Axel, you can stay at our house, and tell our kids about the Organization."
"Yeah, I'll like that. Lead the way, Hinata."
'So Axel is his name…' Thought both Kasai and Aoi.
-At the Hokage Tower-
'Hmm, Naruto should be due here right about…'
"TSUNADE-BAA-CHAN!" Said Naruto as he appeared out of nowhere.
'Now.' Thought Tsunade, who had a vein throbbing on her temple, and attempted to punch Naruto through a wall, only to have it replace itself with a log that had a fist shaped indentation in it.
"Damn, Tsunade. Still as old as ever, yet your punches still hurt." Naruto mumbled.
"Ah Naruto, just the man that I wanted to see. You're right on time too, unlike a certain perverted sensei of yours."
"Ah yes, how is Kakashi-sensei?"
"Still the same as ever. Right now, he's in charge of your twins. But enough about that. I'm officially retiring tomorrow. I want you and your wife to meet me in my office tomorrow at noon, where I will make a public announcement."
"Roger that. My wife and I will be there." Naruto flickers back home, where he finds his kids raptly listening to Axel recalling the fights that he witnessed of the Organization. Hinata was mentally taking notes on the leader and his last lackey, Luxord.
"Honey, I'm home!" Naruto said in a Ricky Ricardo tone of voice. As it was getting late, Naruto took his wife to bed, where they spent the night making love, luckily, with a sound barrier in place, otherwise, the kids would never fall asleep. (A/N sorry, no lemon this time.)
The next day, they met up with the Hokage at noon, as requested. Axel had disappeared overnight. A crowd was gathered outside of the Hokage Tower.
"Citizens' of Konoha! I am here to name my successor, the Rokudaime, but first, I'll tell you about him. About a decade ago, the great demon, Kyubi, attacked us, because either Madara or one disguised as Orochimaru manipulated her, but we discovered that a group of thirteen people manipulated him. This group, Organization XIII, is the reason why the great Kyubi, or Tear, as that is her real name, attacked. As many of the adults know, and some of the children as well, know, the tale that we told everybody was a lie. Kyubi, or Tear, could not be killed, and so, the great Yondaime had to use a forbidden seal to seal away the Kyubi, or Tear, into what you made him, the village outcast, Uzumaki Naruto."
There were many gasps in the crowd, most of disbelief.
"Now, I am proud to introduce the village outcast, what you made him to be, and your new Rokudaime Hokage, Namikaze Naruto."
There were many cries of outrage at this. Some of the villagers shouted. "HOW CAN YOU MAKE THAT DEMON HOKAGE!"
'Obviously, most, if not everybody, forgot our wedding and my clan name., though it has been a long time…' Thought Naruto.
In an equally loud voice, Hinata shocks everyone, including herself, shouted back. "LIES! NARUTO IS NOT THE DEMON! HE IS THE FORMER VESSAL OF KYUBI!"
"Aheheheh, that's not true anymore…" Whispered Naruto.
'What?' Thought Hinata. "Well, as I am sure that you are aware of by now, I AM the new Kyubi, Namikaze Naruto, the new nine tailed fox demon, although I like to think of myself as a half demon, or a kitsune hanyou." 'Oh yeah, that's right, but they don't need to know that.'
"AHEM! May I present to you, the Rokudaime Hokage, the former vessel of Kyubi, Namikaze Naruto!"
"Actually, I am the Kyubi now." Whispered Naruto to Tsunade.
This time, they was no arguments. However, not a single person clapped. Naruto, who was used to this, looked down sadly anyway, that is, until a single person started clapping.
'Hinata-chan!' Eventually, there was a scattered amount of applause, followed by the whole crowd giving him their applause. The newly instated Rokudaime had silent tears in his eyes, as he received a white cloak with blue flames at the bottom and on the ends of the long sleeves, with the kanji for Rokudaime on the back. "Thank you, thank you all!" 'This is the happiest day of my life!' Thought Naruto.
-One week later-
'This is the worst week of my life! All this damn paperwork!' Thought Naruto. 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.'Silently thought Naruto, as he made one shadow clone, and instructed it on what to do, before he flickered back to his home, not realizing that he just solved the bane of all kages. Naruto was testing a new jutsu, but it was incomplete. When he got home, he was greeted to the site of Hinata, throwing up into the toilet. When she finally stopped,, she looked at Naruto.
"Naruto, I'm pregnant again."
3 years ago, Naruto would have fainted right there. 2 years ago, he would have been speechless, and last year, he would have celebrated. This year though. "Good, I wanted more children. After all, we need to rebuild the Namikaze clan." Naruto says, before moving up to his wife and hugging her. "Congratulations, this means that I have to stay here for at least another year, and that you can't go with me to the final confrontation of Organization XIII."
"That's fine, after all, the kids want us to be around."
"That's right, I'll stick around, probably for a long time. After all, I left a shadow clone in my office, it'll handle all of the paperwork. Now, have you told the kids yet?"
"Not yet."
"Then tell them, tonight."
"OK."
-One month later-
The weird cravings of Hinata started again. Luckily, they had kids, so they sent them to fulfill their mother's cravings.
-Month 2-
Naruto and his family were afraid. Hinata, wife and mother, had some fierce mood swings, such as scolding her children for staying out barely 5 minutes late from their curfew, and beating up her husband for neglecting to do his paperwork, even though Naruto insisted that he left a shadow clone in his office every morning to do the paperwork. She was especially irritable after she threw up in the morning, while her stomach swelled to the size of a gigantic watermelon. She was told by the head medic nin that her baby was a healthy girl, but she needed more chakra to develop properly, so Hinata started to send some of her chakra to the baby everyday in the morning, and again at night.
-5 months later-
The violent mood swings, weird cravings, and her morning sickness, to the relief of her family, to be replaced by mild mood swings and constant hunger.
-6th month-
The Rokudaime decided to publicly announce that his wife was now 6 months pregnant with a girl. The Konoha 12 (everyone of the former rookies) are now Jonin, and they decided to go to the Namikaze manor the next day to hold a baby shower, well the girls did, most of the boys were dragged by their girlfriends, or in some cases, husband and wives. (Neji and Tenten were married for a year, Sakura and Lee were going out, Sasuke planned to marry Haku and invited her, Choji and Ino were still going out. Shikamraru was going out with Temari, who was not there. In his words. "How troublesome.") They held their baby shower the next day. The Namikaze family received female baby garments, mostly pale lavender clothes, pink shorts, and babies' underwear, a new bottle, and a set of diapers.
-The seventh month-
Hinata could not even get up from her bed anymore, and had to be carried piggyback by her husband, the Rokudaime, and she grew tired way too early, and usually went to bed at around 6:30 PM. Her family was grateful that they only had to suffer for another two months.
-8 and a half months later-
Naruto was in office, for once. He decided to start doing the paperwork, but he left a shadow clone at home to keep an eye on his family. All of a sudden, at 9:30 PM, Naruto received the information that he would receive after his shadow clone was dispelled. His wife was in labor! He left a note to his secretary, Shizune, and promptly used the completed Hirashin no Jutsu to get back home. Meanwhile, Shizune was alerting the hospital staff that they would soon receive the wife of the Rokudaime currently in labor. There was a mad scramble to get everything ready for her. Roughly 5 minutes later, the Rokudaime's children held the doors open, while the Rokudaime was holding his wife who was clearly in pain. He and his children were immediately sent to the emergency delivery room, where the kids were forced to wait outside, because Hinata wouldn't let her husband go, on account of having a death grip on Naruto's hand. Naruto was squinting in pain, trying to hold it all in, while his wife was bawling at the top of her lungs in pain. Eventually, Naruto couldn't withstand it anymore, and let out his own scream of pain. At approximately one in the morning, the doctors yelled out one final. "Push, Hinata-sama! One more time!" Hinata groans one last time, and a baby girl begins to emerge, and slid out easily when it was past its shoulders. The umbilical cord was still attached, and Naruto cut it off with the Oath Keeper, unknowingly blessing his baby to someday inherit her own key blade. The 5 minute old girl, born on Valentines Day, at 1:00 AM, was handed to a panting Hinata, after being washed off of blood. She immediately began to hug her new borne daughter.
She had short silver hair, fox ears, and a fox tail. She had tiny arms, a single whisker mark adorning her checks, and the tell tale signs of the Byakugan, with pale lavender eyes, like her mothers old eyes.
The kids were let in to see their new younger sister, while Naruto was still massaging his hand. Eventually, he stopped, and hugged Hinata, then picked up his daughter.
"She's beautiful. What's her name?"
"Her name shall be…"
The babies name will be revealed next chapter. This chapter was originally supposed to close off the Organization XIII plot, but somehow, it ended up based on Hinata' pregnancy, as you can tell. Read and review. Laterz.
