Chapter 21 Moving the Pieces
"So do you trust this Rhyu?" asked Danzo
"He wants Naruto dead just as much as I do." said Sasuke as he stood in front of the Hokage. "Besides we can always use his ninja's as cannon falter in our war with the rock village."
"Very well it will be your call in two months when you take this chair." said Danzo "Besides this report about Naruto having your brother's children is worrisome. We can't let them let start another Uchiha clan. Also this that gives us a good reason to go for war returning children to their true family is always looks good to the common people."
"Like I care about the common man." said Sasuke "I will kill those kids the moment I get my hands on them."
"Not the boy, you need as many males as you can get to restart your clan." said Danzo
"I don't want my brother's blood in my family." said Sasuke
"You need the males." said Danzo
"That is why I have a wife." said Sasuke "Besides they will be weak just like Naruto."
"Very well, send out the request for Reiji's help." said Danzo. Sasuke bowed his head as he walked out of the room.
Across town Chouji sat at a bar. "So Shikamaru has a kid?" asked Shino
"Yes, and so does Naruto and Sakura." said Chouji as he looked into his beer.
"I would appreciate if you don't tell Hinata that." said Kiba sadly "It will break her heart."
"Kiba sometimes I don't understand how Hinata can still be in love with Naruto." said Chouji "It's been years since they saw each other and you have two kids together."
"And the fact that those kids are still young is the only reason why Hinata hasn't made a break for the Ice village." said Kiba
"You must really hate Naruto then." said Chouji as his order of food arrived.
"No." laughed Kiba "It's funny I should hate him with every fiber of my being but I can't do it. I mean how anything is his fault?"
"Tell me what isn't his fault?" asked Ino as she walked up.
"Ino shouldn't you be with your kids?" asked Chouji
"Well it is already passing 11 so I'll let them sleep at my folks and pick them up in the morning." said Ino before looking at Kiba "As for your question, if Naruto had been killed when he was a kid then Sakura and Shikamaru would still be here. Tsunade would still be alive. Also if he had died then the Akatsuki would never have been after us for the demon in him and Sasuke may never have left us for the time he did."
"Ino that is a big stretch." said Kiba
"Then how about this without Naruto Hinata would love you." said Ino
"Ino are you forgetting all the times Naruto saved us?" asked Kiba "Besides it was Naruto who brought Sasuke back."
"Kiba you are a fool." said Ino as she got her drink from the bar.
A month later Des sat behind his desk looking over paper work. "Sir, we have a message from the demon country they have made peace with grave country." Said the aid as Des looked up at the news.
"What?" asked Des making sure he heard right.
"They have formed a peace." said the aid
"Those two hate each other they have been fighting each on and off for thirty years." said Des "It is because of those two fighting that caused our last war after grave attack bone country."
"Well they say they have solved their differences and Demon country has already asked to join our alliance." said the aid "The Cliff village is already asking for us to support the demon village entire into our alliance."
"They would Demon country is a new market for their goods." said Des
"Sir what do you want to do?" asked the aid.
"Nothing." said Des
"Tomorrow Naruto will be the one behind this desk not me, so let him make the choose." said Des
"Pushing the buck off again Des?" asked a new voice as Mai walked in.
"You know me better then most." said Des with a grin as he leaned back in his chair.
"Well we were on the same gennin squad when we were kids and the fact that we have been married for 42 years. You tend to learn a lot about people." said Mai as Des took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from his almost empty desk. The aid quickly left closing the door behind him.
"Wine, you don't like wine." said Mai as Des pored the wine out.
"Well both of us are retiring tomorrow." said Des as he handed his wife her glass.
"True." said Mai as she took the wine and rose it in the air. "Here's too retirement."
"Ya, you are going to get stuck with me at home all the time." said Des with a grin
"Don't remind me." said Mai with a matching grin as both drank their wine.
The next morning Naruto stood in a waiting room in his freshly clean ANBU dress uniform. "Don't worry about it Naruto." said Sakura as she tried to calm him down.
"How can I be calm?" asked Naruto as he passed the floor again "I haven't been this worried since Kushina was born."
"Naruto everything will be fine." Said Sakura as the door opened to show Saaya standing there.
"Naruto they are ready." Said Saaya as Naruto turned to Sakura one last time.
"Wish me luck."
"You will not need it but good luck." said Sakura as Naruto held out the door. Sakura quickly made her way out another door to take her seat in the front row of the massive gather of people inside the great hall.
"How is Dad doing?" asked Katara as she handed Kushina off to Sakura.
"He is worried." said Sakura just as she said that two lines of in their dress uniform ANBU marched out of a side door. They all marched in union son and with one quick movement they stopped and turned to face the ninja across from them. Then each one of them pulled their swords and held them in front of their faces. Naruto walked between the Anbu each one of the Ninja's snapping to attention as he walked by. When Naruto had walked though the ninjas they all turned to face the door across from them. The door opened and Des walked in dressed in the black and silver robes of the Aisukage. Naruto went down on his knees and lowered his head.
"Naruto Namikaze, you have done a lot for this village since you joined our village after being banished from your old village." said Des "You have proven yourself on the battlefield in defense of our village. You protected not just this village but all the villages with your seal of the demon gate. You have been chosen to become the 8th Aisukage do you accept this honor?"
"Yes, sir." said Naruto
"Then Naruto Namikaze it is my final order as the 7th Aisukage of the Village hidden in the Ice that I name you to take my place as the 8th Aisukage." Said Des as he took off his hat and placed it on Naruto's head. Then in one movement he took off his robes and draped them across Naruto's shoulders just like all the other Aisukage's had done since the founding of the village. Des now stood in his old ANBU armor and as he knelt down Naruto stood up. Naruto looked out over the gathering everyone held gone down on one knee like Des in salute to their new Aisukage.
Across the world Sasuke stood behind his new desk as 7th Hokage of the leaf village, he had taken office only two weeks ago and in three days he would begin his war against the rock village. The door opened and Hinata walked in "Lord Hokage, they are here." Said Hinata
"Good, show them in." said Sasuke, a minute later a man walked in. He had on a dark grey vest and plants. Across his back was a long bow and quiver. A short sword hung from his waste. The bottom part of his face was cover by a mask similar to Kakashi's only his like his pants, vest and shirt was dark grey.
"Lord Hokage, I am the ANBU captain from the village hidden in the grave." said the man "Me and my team are at your disposal."
"I was believed there was going to be more then a single team." said Sasuke as he activated his Sharingan making sure that it wasn't Naruto or anyone else he had seen during his time in the Ice village.
"If you like what you see more teams will come, it is too risky to move troops in mass now."
"I see." said Sasuke "What is it you except to do for us?"
"Who do you want dead?" said the Grave ANBU captain "Because I can hit a person at two miles away."
"If you could do that then how come Naruto Namikaze isn't dead?" asked Sasuke
"Because of two basic things, because of his sense he got from the fox he can hear the arrow in the air." said the ANBU "Then he uses that Justus of his and appear right in front of you sword out."
"What about his family?" asked Sasuke "They don't have that ability."
"It's an a matter of honor sir." said the ninja as Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "We may strike from the shadows and without warning but we don't kill unarmed civilians."
"I see that may be a problem." said Sasuke
"Sir, we will not kill them but will not save then either." said the Grave ANBU "Your ninjas can kill them, we will not stop you."
"That is acceptable." said Sasuke "Your mission is to cause as much death and pain as possible to the enemy when we launch our attack in three days."
"Very well." said the ANBU captain "We will be place."
Three days later it was a sunny early fall day in the rock village. A few ANBU stood on the roof tops keeping an eye out for spies from the leaf village. Most of their army was stations around the boarder of their nation awaiting the attack they all knew was coming. In the tall mountains that surrounded the Rock village four men hid in the rocks, their uniforms had changed clothes so that they could blend into the background. Slowly each of them pulled their bows back and in one quick movement an entire four man squad of Rock ANBU went down with arrows in their throats. Another war had broken out between the Leaf and the Rock.
A month later Naruto sat behind his home office desk looking over the reports that were coming in from the war that had broken out between the Rock and Leaf. From the reports it seamed that Sasuke would soon have yet another nation under his control. Now this war had nothing to do with him or the nation he know lead, it was going on across the world but still he knew something was up. First the sudden peace between the gave and Demon still didn't sit right and now the rock was falling a lot faster then it was suppose too. Suddenly a knock came from the doorway. He looked up to see Sakura standing there.
"Sakura is something wrong?" asked Naruto
"No." said Sakura as she walked up to her husband "Kushina is already in bed and my brother along with Saito is at a friend's house and Katara at a slumber party at her friend's house."
"I wondered why it seamed so quiet." said Naruto as he looked into Sakura's eyes. "Sakura I just want to say I am sorry."
"For what?" asked Sakura
"I have been so wrapped up in work that I haven't been spending time with you or the kids." Said Naruto
"Naruto you are getting settled into your new job, hell I am doing the same thing." said Sakura "We all need time to adapt to new changes."
"Ya, things are changing fast aren't they." said Naruto with a grin "I mean Kushina will be two in four months and two months after that Katara, Saito and Reiji will be assigned to the same gennin squad."
"That isn't all Naruto." said Sakura as Naruto looked at her. Slowly she took one of Naruto's hands and placed it on her belly. Naruto's eyes widened as he understood what Sakura was saying in her actions.
"Sakura-chan are you?" asked Naruto
"Yes, I know it is earlier then either of us would have liked but." said Sakura with a smile
"Its wonderful anyhow." said Naruto as he captured his wife's lips. Right now Sasuke and the war that was raging on the other side of the world was the last thing on his mind. They were going to have another kid.
