Chapter 38: A New Life
The Uzumaki clan was now a registered clan in Sunagakure with seven members with one on the way. Though if a certain red headed matriarch got her way there would be two on the way soon. As the woman slowly opened her eyes on the sturdy chest of her husband. She had been at peak ovulation so she made sure to take full advantage of this.
After both her and Naruto were established as jounin in Sunagakure, the Kazekage also handed her a retirement form. She had been a bit confused by this at first but after the explanation from Gaara she signed. He had told her that in Sunagakure there always has to be one representative of the clan for emergency meeting. Technically a heir or heiress could go but neither Mikoto nor Kari were old enough.
Seeing as she was pulling a jounin pension it was something she didn't mind to much. Naruto had been put on Gaaras personal protective detail as well. Basically it meant that he was paid a good amount for nothing unless Gaara left the village. He was technically on call while in the village though. Tsunade and Shizune were both jounin for the hospital while Iruka was a tokubetsu for the academy.
Tayuya nuzzled her head into his chest as he put his arm around her, "Morning Tayuya-hime."
The red head smiled, "Morning stud."
He chuckled as he looked at her with his blue, fox slit eyes. She smiled at him some more then leaned up to kiss him. He kissed her back then kissed her forehead, "With how aggressive you were last night I would be shocked if you aren't pregnant."
His response was a purr of approval from Tayuya. He smiled then rubbed her stomach, "I hope that it is a boy this time."
Tayuya nodded her head, "So do I."
After they stayed cuddling for a minute or two she ran her hand up his chest. He smirked, "Again sweetie?"
She nodded her head at him then he pulled her onto him with a smile. She went through another vigorous round with her jinchuriki husband. When they were done she slept happily in the bed as he got showered and dressed for the day. When he came out of the room he saw his daughters eating breakfast. He came and kissed both on the head then Mikoto spoke with a smile, "I made breakfast Tou-san, there is still some left. Is Kaa-san coming?"
The blond haired man smiled, "I don't think that your mother will be coming out of our room for awhile. I will have some though, thank you sweetie."
She nodded as she went back to eating. He sat down at the table with them as they all ate, "What are you two going to do today?"
Mikoto smiled, "Academy."
Kari played with her food a bit, "Mom was suppose to train me a bit this morning. Then it was suppose to be studying with Grandma. She said that I show potential in fuuinjutsu and medical ninjutsu."
He smiled at her, "Well I have a lot of books on fuuinjutsu, I can do some but not all of it. That is a subject that I am studying on as well. As for the training, your mother is tired but I can fill in as your sensei for the day."
His daughter gave him the same Uzumaki smile that he possessed making him smile at her. Mikoto finished her food then gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek, "Bye Tou-san, see you later. Bye Kari-chan, do good in training. Tou-san is a lot tougher then Kaa-san is."
That made it so the younger heiress had wide eyes, "Tougher? Someone can be tougher then Kaa-san in training..."
Naruto gave his little girl a devilish smile, "Come on Kari, let's get to training."
She gulped at this then slowly got up from the table. Naruto made a clone to take care of the mess from breakfast as he took his dear daughter outside to train.

After a few hours Tayuya woke up and came down the stairs just as the back door opened. She looked to see her youngest daughter dragging herself into the house. The older red head rose an eyebrow at this then looked at Naruto as he came in behind her, "Oh stop being so dramatic Kari."
The little girl ground, "I can't feel my legs! Kaa-san, save me! Tou-san is crazy!"
Tayuya smiled at this then came over to Naruto with a smile, "Hello Naruto-kun."
She gave him a quick kiss then looked down at their little girl who was in the house and laying on the cool tile floor with a smile. Tayuya shook her head, "How hard were you training her Naruto-kun?"
He shrugged, "A little tougher then one of our warm ups."
Kari looked at them both as if they grew extra heads, "You only consider that a work out!?"
Naruto looked at her with a smile then looked at his darling wife, "How easy have you been going on the kids with their training?"
Tayuya looked at him, "Well she is still young and my little girl. I didn't want to drive her into the ground... yet."
Kari looked at her parents, "I hope I won't be as insane as you two when I am older."
They smiled at her then Naruto lifted her up off the ground, "Come on sweetie, you have to study with Baa-chan and if you are late she will get upset."
The young girl whimpered a bit, "Why is everyone in our family crazy?"
Naruto smiled at her, "If we were normal then life would be boring."
His daughter shook her head then looked at her father, "You all are weird... I am going to be weird as well aren't I?"
The patriarch of the clan stopped on the top of the stairs to look at her. He gave her a kind fatherly smile, "You can be whatever you want sweetheart. If you want to be normal then you can be normal and we will love you all the same."
She smiled then jumped out of his arms and went to find Tsunade. He smiled at her then went downstairs to figure out something to do for the day with his wife.

A few weeks later...
Tayuya had not gotten her period yet. Something that she was excited about. She came down the stairs to find Naruto, Mikoto, Tsunade, Iruka and Gaara in a heated poker match. Tayuya didn't know how she felt about Mikoto playing poker already. She had made sure they didn't suck Kari into their corruption yet. To be fair though, Mikoto had her sharingan activated making it so she saw tells. If they wanted to invite her to play while she was doing that then it was on her.
The matriarch of the Uzumaki clan came up behind her husband and wrapped her arms around him. She put her lips next to his ear, "Sweetie, I'm late."
The blond man just stared at his cards then checked, "What is it you are late for Hime?"
His wife gave a sigh then smacked the back of his head, "What do you think I am late for dammit?"
Tsunade checked then looked at her with a rose eyebrow. Naruto looked at her then his eyes widened as the realization sunk in. He looked at her some more then at Tsunade, "Oh Baa-chan... can you do a quick check up on Tayuya-hime?"
The ex-Hokage looked at them then nodded before putting her cards on the table. The game went on hold as Tsunade pooled chakra into her hand then put it over Tayuya's stomach. She closed her eyes to focus then smiled as she opened her eyes. Tayuya was looking at her with an almost desperate look for it to be what she wants. Naruto looked at Tsunade as well then she finally spoke, "Pregnant."
Naruto quickly wrapped his wife up in a hug, turning her to kiss her. As they broke from the kiss Tsunade spoke up again, "With twins."
That made it so that the man lifted his wife up into the air and smiled, "Twins! We are having twins Tayuya-hime!"
She smiled at him as he put her down gently, "Yeah I can hear. Now then, I am going to go and rest while you all finish cards. Be prepared for nine months of pampering me."
He nodded his head as she went up the stairs. When she got up to the bedroom that she shared with her husband she closed the door activating the seal. She started to jump up and down and scream in happiness. She jumped onto the bed with a smile as she rubbed her stomach, "Not just one but two... do Kaa-san a favor and at least one of you be a boy. I want to give your Tou-san a true heir."
She continued to rub her stomach until Naruto came in about ten minutes later. The red headed woman looked at him, "You're done playing cards already?"
He shrugged, "Mikoto cleaned me out. Can't get anything pass that sharingan of hers."
Naruto climbed onto the bed with her and put his hand on her stomach as well. He looked at her with a smile, "Twins... I can't believe it. I guess that your insatiable need for me had some good benefits for our family."
Tayuya had a crimson blush on her face then muttered, "I didn't hear you complaining... Shithead-kun."
He smiled as he pecked her on the lips, "You're embarrassed?"
Quickly she reacted, "AM NOT!"
That made it so he had a large, foxy grin on his face, "Yes you are. You called me Shithead-kun."
His wife just gave him a glare, "How about I just call you asshole."
Naruto winked at her then pulled her into a kiss. She resisted at first but quickly melted into the kiss. After he broke from the kiss, "You can call me whatever you want Hime because I will love you all the same."
She growled at him, "Asshole... being all sweet. I hate that."
He nuzzled her neck, "No you don't... you love it. You can act all tough out there but in here with me you can't hide who you really are."
The red head grabbed his face and pulled him into another kiss. When they broke she glared at him a bit, "I am going to make the next nine months a living hell for this."
He rose his eyebrow, "Why? We both wanted another child... didn't we?"
The red headed matriarch nodded her head, "We did, but remember how insane you said I was when I was carrying Kari?"
He nodded his head at her then she gave him a foxy smile that could match his own, "Now I am carrying two."
Naruto just stared at her for a moment then blinked letting out a long sigh. He looked back up at her, "Well... it will definitely be worth it since we are having two more kids. Plus you looked very beautiful with your motherly glow while pregnant with Kari."
Tayuya smiled at him then kissed her husband, "Flatterer."
He nodded his head then got off the bed, "Well I am going to go and take a shower, since you are pregnant I should make sure you get nice and clean."
She smiled with a small blush, "Pervert, you just want to get me naked."
He rolled his eyes, "As if I need to do anything to assist in that department. I am fairly sure that you are the one who is friskier."
The red head stuck her tongue out at him, "You never complain."
He sighed then went to the bathroom to take a shower. It wasn't long before his wife was in there as well to make sure that her husband 'cleaned' her properly.

Back in Konohagakure...
The council sat there quietly as the clan heads were staring at them. That was when Shikaku spoke up, "So let me see if I understand this properly, because of you fools we lost not only a clan but also our Hokage?"
They sighed and looked at one another before looking back at the clan heads, "Technically the head of the Uzumaki Clan Head claims we are the reasons why."
That was when Tsume spoke up, "You ARE the reason why. We all were here when you openly accused his wife of being a traitor and a spy. You then help the now deceased Sasuke Uchiha to try and kidnap Mikoto Uzumaki. You are lucky that he only settled for leaving the village."
The two council members sighed, "Well our contingency plan didn't work either. We expected Danzo to keep the jinchuriki here."
The War Hawk stepped out of the shadows, "I told you that you reaped what you sow. You pushed him to the limit and he pushed back. I have to agree with the clan heads that you are lucky all he did was leave."
They shook their heads, "We will try to repair the relationship between us and the Uzumaki clan. With any luck they will be open to returning."
There was a scoffing sound and everyone looked over at Hiashi. The Hyuga looked at everyone then sighed, "You would have a better chance of reviving Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto Uzumaki can let any slight at him go, but you insulted his wife. You threatened his family multiple times and then you tried to take his daughter. We are talking about a man who would go fight the world for the ones he loves, you insult them and you fools burned that bridge. I would say the best to expect from the Uzumaki patriarch is that we may be able to establish talking terms."
Everyone in the room, other then the elderly council members, nodded their heads. They wanted to at least establish talking terms with the man that had touched their children's lives in so many ways. That was when the door opened at the Sixth Hokage walked in, his silver hair waving back and forth. He looked at everyone then sighed, "Yo... sorry I'm late." Everyone sweat dropped at this, apparently some things just never change.
