The Good Son

"Sasuke you are just going to have to take this nice and slow until you get used to talking to women." Kakashi commented as he lifted up his drink and took a sip before laying it down on his table.

Sasuke tried not to roll his eyes but that just ended up with Sasuke saying out loud. "Of course." in the most insincere manner possible.

Kakashi sighed as a response. His right hand holding onto a fork press down on a piece of meat and moved it in a circle in his nearly empty bowl. Sasuke crossed his arms almost defiantly annoyed already. As they sat in front of each other at the restaurant it became clear that if anyone looked at them at the moment it would have looked like a father and son argument.

"You're like the kid who goes to the beach and wants to go into the water but the water is cold and so he touches the water and then runs out". Kakashi replied almost bitterly.

"Just because i don't want just any woman, you think i am not trying?" Sasuke replied. "Your definition of Trying and my definition of trying are clearly different". Kakashi replied.

"I haven't told any woman off since I came back to Konoha". Sasuke replied with such speed that it almost looked like a five year old spitting out a response to their parents.

"Well you also haven't even given any of the women in Konoha a chance, a single date let alone given then 5 minutes of your time". Kakashi protested.

"Hn" Sasuke replied.

"You're just going to have to slip your foot into the water and take it out and repeat until you have done it enough that you aren't freezing when the water touches you and you can just jump into the water." Kakashi replied back referring to his beach analogy.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"All i am asking is that everyday you make the attempt to talk to one woman for 5 minutes and then….just leave". Kakashi asked almost pleading.

Kakashi made a walking motion with his fingers. Sasuke didn't reply but didn't state he wouldn't….. so kakashi didn't return with a response. That was a win for Kakashi and with that Kakashi paid their lunch and left on his way to the Hokage tower.

It took five minutes of stewing in his seat before Sasuke got up annoyed and began walking. The idea that Kakashi didn't think he could manage to talk to a single woman for 5 minutes was gnawing at his pride. He wasn't asking Sasuke to do it , he was challenging him to fail because he thought he knew Sasuke like the back of his hand. Sasuke reasoned with himself. Sasuke mentally boxed with himself as he walked. One side thinking Kakashi was playing him and the other side was a simple question. 'Do I even need to tell him I did it.'Sasuke told himself.

He would do it then not tell Kakashi in case he was trying to trick him. He would play it off as if he ignored him. And if he wasn't trying to trick him Sasuke would get some progress in rebuilding his clan by maybe finding someone of value among all the women. Sasuke mauled over the ideas for a while and then decided he would flip a coin.

Kakashi walked past Naruto's apartment and wondered if he was allowed to hope Naruto would find what he needed on this mission. As he stared at the front door he scratched the back of his neck as he wondered about it . Or if it was something he should just forget about and be pleasantly surprised if it happened. On Sasuke's part he decided he would walk to the center of Konoha and see if there was a single woman who sparked his interest. If they did he would talk to them for 5 minutes and then leave.

In reality he had no doubt there wasn't a single woman in Konoha that would draw his attention but he was trying. So he lied to himself about making an earnest attempt. By the time he reached Konoha center he did actually find someone interesting. He recognised an old woman who he had known when he was a genin.

Nekobaa was her name, and she had spent time with Itachi as well. Nekobba was an old woman with long grey hair. She wore a pair of dark cat ears that held her hair in place. She had a purple scarf that she wore over her Orange dress. Nekobaa noticed him first, she walked over to him a grin on her face.

"Sasuke Uchiha" She nearly yelled. Sasuke walked closer to her.

"I have to thank you for saving us from the goddess." She stated out loud with a hint of a smirk.

Sasuke couldn't tell if she was being serious or teasing him. Before he could speak to her another woman came from behind Nekobaa, she appeared wanting to find out what had pulled her grandma. The granddaughter wore a short sleeveless kimono with short pants. She had a nice figure on her and was attractive to just about anyone with a pulse. Nekobaa turned around to see her granddaughter walking towards her. She pointed at her granddaughter and then turned to Sasuke.

"Are you looking for a wife?" Nekobaa asked with a devilish grin.

Her granddaughter's face turned very red. Sasuke found her slightly more attractive now as her face was flushed but made no comment about it. Then before she could utter a word, she looked at Sasuke directly. Suddenly becoming speechless and very much crushing on him. Sasuke looked her over more closely as if examining her, she was cute but so were a lot of women. He was looking for something special, and he knew when it presented itself he would know. At Least he hoped it would be obvious that he had met the woman he wanted to rebuild his clan with and then he would act there and then. So far he didn't find a reason to give her the time of day so he wrote this one off.

"I noticed you didn't outright state you weren't looking or busy." Nekobaa stated in a surprised tone.

Sasuke looked back from her granddaughter to Nekobaa.

"Well…" Sasuke replied.

He wasn't able to finish his sentence before Nekobaa began to shake from excitement.

"Here is your chance Tamaki, he is on the market and looking". Nekobaa softly placed her hand behind Tamaki and pushed her forward softly.

Before Sasuke could react he felt all eyes on him. He turned around and found 20 women his age looking him over with a glee filled smiles on their faces. Some were winking and a few had strucken poses to entice Sasuke. Sasuke turned back to Tamaki and Nekobaa.

"Looks like you have a lot of competition". Nekobaa said in a happy tone.

Tamaki looked at her grandma turning her back to Sasuke. Before Sasuke even moved an inch he was surrounded by the 20 women.

For the next 2 hours Sasuke found himself dipping his toe back and forth. Every few minutes he would appear out in the open and try to talk to a single woman before finding himself surrounded again. That would lead to him trying to lose them for a few minutes before repeating the process and trying again. It was out of pride that he wanted desperately to reach his goal of talking to 1 woman for 5 minutes. Even though he had talked to Nekobaa for a while he needed to start over again because he left before reaching 5 minutes. Which led to Sasuke's predicament, while trying to get away from a crowd he had accidentally gotten himself into a building he didn't know.

Still pursued by them in bulk, he Lucked out found an empty locker room. While in said locker room he overheard the women nearing his location and decided to do what anyone else would do. He entered the first locker that fit him and closed it. It had four slits for ventilation, and he was safe from suffocating in fact he could even see outside the locker pretty well. And because they were slanted downward someone really had to go out of their way to see up the slants to spot someone there.

He was so sure that they would follow him even here, that it seemed logical at the time. Entering the men's locker room wasn't beneath them so he had to hide inside the locker until they passed he reasoned with himself. His sharingan would let him know when they left.

Sasuke pressed his back against the metal of the locker. Cornered like a wild animal he was stuck for the time until they left. He knew a single kick or punch would let him out or if needed Susanoo would obliterate the locker….. so he was very sure in his escape from the locker when he needed it.

Once he closed the locker he realised how restrained it was and that it was a bit warm there. It had been a warm day, and so the locker was warmer than normal. His elbows quickly ran out of room and it became clear he was very confined. Luckily for him he was skinny and not muscular or he would have even less room.

He waited for the sound to end and it took twenty minutes to do so. He then activated his sharingan to see outside the locker and made sure he didn't accidently alert everyone to his presence when he opened the locker with force. To his surprise most had left but five or six remained just outside the building. Clearly stationed outside the building in hopes to get a chance to see him if he circled back.

Another figure entered the building afterwards and went straight for the locker room he was in. When they turned the corner into the room Sasuke's eyes widened as soon as he saw her. There was no doubt in his mind that he was now inside a girls' locker and this had never been a guys' Locker room. He deactivated his sharingan and looked at the figure.

'Just great now everyone will think i am just as bad as Jiraya and Ebisu.' Sasuke thought to himself. The idea of living in a world where Sasuke, Jiraya and Ebisu would be uttered in the same sentence terrified Sasuke to his core. If he opened the locker now he would be labeled a pervert but if he waited too long and was caught he would also be labeled a pervert.

But Sasuke didn't allow himself to despair. There was a chance she would turn around and leave he told himself. Or he could wait and she would pick a locker far from him and do her business and leave. As she walked into the very center of the room, it didn't strike him that she would pick a locker close to him.

'What was her name?' Sasuke kept asking himself that question. This question popped into his mind more and more the closer she got. When she was nearly in front of him did he take a step back and feel the back of the locker on his foot. His eyes widened and he felt a rush of anxiety as he didn't know if he was caught. He stopped breathing and waited to hear her gasp or try to open the locker.

To his temporary relief he found he was safe. So then he began to breathe normally again. He switched back to trying to remember her name. He couldn't deny that he found it odd that he recognised her face yet her name escaped him. On her part she placed her bag on the bench in front of the locker. She was wearing loose fitting, lavender and cream color hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour. She was also wearing navy blue pants, black, low-heeled sandals.. He knew she was the one who had always been watching Naruto as a genin.

Sasuke years prior had spotted her because she was the one girl that didn't crush on him. Easy to stand out for that when almost every other girl in Konoha seemed obsessed with him. So he had liked her better than the other girls by default rather than by any other metrick. The super quiet girl that had a thing for Naruto, that was what he had nicknamed her in his mind when he spotted her. He thought it was a very accurate nickname.

She was close enough to the locker that he was able to see her face clearly…. so he took note of her pale skin complexion. That was the most noticeable trait about her, even more so than her midnight blue hair color. At first he gave her several quick looks, or peaks then he just outright stared at her. That happened when he realised she had no idea he was looking.

At this point he could assume with a fair certainty that she didn't see him and had no reason to suspect he was in the locker. Without fear of her noticing him looking he decided to give her a up and down look over. He thought to himself Naruto could do alot worse, now he wondered why he didn't even try going on a date with her. 'Sakura isn't so much better than her'. Sasuke thought to himself as he stared at her face. Back in the academy days and genin days she had short hair so that changed. Sasuke mauled over that fact as he looked her over.

She let her hair grow out,and it looked good on her. Even in the academy he had found girls with long hair more attractive than short haired girls. A fact all the girls knew when he was in the academy as he accidently told the wrong person that fact. While he was pondering his thoughts over, hinata removed her heavy jacket from her body and revealed a fishnet shirt beneath it. Sasuke froze in place as he suddenly realised that any moment his entire reputation would be destroyed.

He was certain without a doubt he would be revealed as she would open the locker and with that his reputation would be destroyed. 'KAKASHI….if i ever'. Sasuke thought to himself bitterly. The image of Kakashi laughing himself silly began to form in his mind. He shook his head side to side willing himself not to think about that now. 'Please turn around and leave' Sasuke repeated the thought in his mind over and over again. The very last thing he wanted to be caught doing was this. He activated his sharingan and looked around as best he could to see if anyone else was close.

As he looked around past Hinata he found two figures in the front and three in the room next to him. Hinata was the only thing stopping him from escaping with his dignity. He cursed himself for not calling her name out before she took off her sweatshirt. He deactivated his sharingan and thought about 10 different excuses he could have used earlier but couldn't use now . He could have told her that he had been tricked into the locker and was trapped. Or some other excuse now he felt it was better to wait for her to leave.

He was sure they would close soon, or at least he hoped they would. Hinata did something he didn't expect. She removed her shirt revealing a sizable bust in a black bra. Sasuke straightened his body upward almost immediately. As if spotting a quarter on the floor without even looking for it , Sasuke's body straightened up and his eyes suddenly focused on her. His mind did not follow suit as he couldn't think and was just reacting as events unfolded. Hinata casted off her shirt to one side.

Sasuke gulped immediately without thinking. Sweat fell down his face as he felt it warm. It was the kind of sweat one had when they consumed too much chilli and you began to sweat out of your face uncontrollably. His eyes slid down her face towards her bosom, his brain had left the moment he had seen them. What made the effect so much greater was that they appeared without warning and practically in front of his face at a great angle. Hinata was shorter than Sasuke and where he stood he was looking down at her from above. At a distance he could have shrugged off the effects but up close their appeal was undeniable.

She was so close to the ventilation slats in the locker that he could smell the scent of lavender on her. He had never thought about the scent before but he knew he enjoyed it now. He was drawn to it even. He felt his heart began racing in his chest and then he noticed a single droplet of sweat on her face. It quickly descended downward to her throat then traveled towards her cleavage, his eyes fell upon it unashamedly. His pants felt very uncomfortable suddenly. He couldn't find the idea in himself to close his eyes, he was too drawn to her at that moment.

Hinata placed a hand on the locker without warning. Sasuke nearly jumped back when it happened. As if life was there slapping him on the back of the head, then telling him to remember where he was. Not that Sasuke had any room at all to jump back, all he did was immediately feel the sides of the locker as he pressed himself backwards against the back of the locker without making a loud sound. He hoped she didn't see him now that she was closer to the locker.

Before Sasuke even had time to panic a new thought appeared in his mind. 'Oh' Sasuke thought to himself as he watched silently Hinata reach for her pants and take them off. She leaned in forward a bit as she used one arm to remove her pants legs. She was wearing black panties. Against her pale skin the black lingerie looked amazing Sasuke thought to himself as he admired it.

Sasuke's eyes slid down as she leaned in closer to the locker. Drawn to her cleavage, shamelessly he couldn't resist taking a peak with it so close. His pants were outright so uncomfortable they might as well been made of cactus needles because he wanted to cast them to the side and get looser fitting clothing. The scent of lavender was stronger now that she was closer and he enjoyed it.

A little too much as he began to think about whether this was her personal scent and if it was he wouldn't mind it. Once she was done with one leg she switched hands and used her other hand to lean against the locker. Sasuke silently watched without protest. Eventually removing her pants she placed them over her shirt by tossing them over . Hinata's pants slid off the bench when it landed improperly and fell to one side then hitting the floor. Hinata shifted her head to one side as if asking the world Really. She then tried to pick it up with her right foot. Before she could reach it with her hands it slipped and it fell behind her. Hinata pouted, a soft smirk formed on Sasuke's lips as he watched it.

Hinata turned around, turning her back to the locker and then she bent down to pick up her shirt. Sasuke's nose began to drip blood from it. 'So perfect' Sasuke thought to himself. Sasuke's ears turned deep red. Sasuke shook his head side to side for over 30 seconds so that he could snap himself out of it. Willing himself to regain control but then stopped himself from moving as Hinata suddenly looked at the locker more sternly.

She had stopped herself from doing anything else and was looking at the locker for the first time with real interest.. She looked at the locker and looked it up and down. The more she looked the more Sasuke's soul left his body. Something caught her eye a sudden movement but she knew something had drawn her attention. Sasuke suddenly felt intense fear erupt in him, fear that even orochimaru had not brought out of him when he had faced him in the forest of death when he was a genin.

Please Comment, Favorite and Review. I will post my chapters on sunday.

Bree chapter 4 . Feb 23

I have high hopes for this narrative, dear author. It's interesting to see how the current ninjas react to having children absolutely void of Chakra.

How that effects their society? The way they function and their laws? I think people would be in a state of disbelief, as well. They'd have to rethink their whole system. It's gonna be hard for the clans and people who built careers, and prestige off of skills and infamous feats...to realize all of that means nothing, because the very thing they all took for granted...no longer exists. So these teachings are lost w/ time. Damn.

NaruSaku is one of my favorite ships and I seriously hope Naruto, grows a pair during this mission and confront Sakura about his feelings. Even if she does turn him down, ultimately...he tried. Though, I always felt Sakura had latent feelings for Naruto. She just never acted on them.

As for SasuHina, that's a bit more nuanced and difficult to pull off. They're more of a slow burn couple. Yet I could see arranged marriages playing a big part in the future. I never really felt Sasuke was the type to stay in Konoha, because of too many bad memories, and resentment towards the council. If he was obligated to rebuild his clan...it makes sense for him to marry a Hyuga. Especially one cast off from ever being heiress, because she's deemed too unsuitable, but Hinata's perfect for securing ties for future alliances. Besides the Uchihas sprung from the Hyuga. I could see them having a amicable, but rocky pairing. Feeling each other out, incredibly reserved, dutiful, but Hinata's softness and submissive behavior maybe taken as weakness. On the flipside she reminds him of his mother. Since he finds darker features traditionally more beautiful and palatable.

Besides, Sakura is going to get her heart torn out by Sasuke, because she can't accept his refusals of ever loving her. He has that right to say, "NO". During the upcoming mission, her and Naruto have to air out their feelings and misunderstandings. There's a lot of chemistry and built up sexual tension between them. If not for Sakura's infactuation w/ Sasuke...Naruto and her would've been together.

If anyone gets knocked up first its Sakura. lol

Naruto downplays his pervish/hyper-sexual nature, but he wants Sakura badly. If she lowers her guard even the tiniest bit and shows vulnerability...Naruto's all over that.

Anyway, good luck and thank you for continuing this. (Ignore the D-bag w/ his religious zealot like devotion to Hinata and Naruhina. He's fucking crazy and hypocritical.)

I hope i deliver, on my side i hope i get a larger fan base. If i had to guess how it would effect their society, i would think it would lead to wars almost immediately. When the first hokage split up the demons among the countries he did it to ensure peace. Because he wanted to end the wars. Each tailed beast was basically a nuke so everyone had one so they cooled down. Without chakra the wars would start again because someone always wants more land and power. Their laws and the way the government would function probably shift back into a feudal system like that of japan during the samurai period. People would definitely be in a state of disbelief and fear. A part of their culture and tradition would be wiped out. Especially clans of prestige as they're power and status comes from their powers. If anything once the clans realised they no longer have children with powers will start to push their ninjas to war. One last war before the generation ends and there will be no more children with chakra. I thought Narusaku should have been cannon. Always nice seeing fanfiction with them, that said like most inexperienced guys once you get a girlfriend and have a relationship for a while you find your pair. I always thought Sasuhina as a couple had so many more interesting scenarios to build it. Because there is plenty to work there. Both from prestigious clans. Both have visual bloodline traits. Both are quite reserved. And she is the one girl who didn't fan girl over him so there is that intrigue for him. And for her he knows what it is like being apart of a prestigious clan and can relate in a way most can't. That is why i always thought there was plenty to work there. Sasuke was meant to help Sakura grow out of her genin days. The last part of her that needed to grow up and realise it was never meant to be. As for Sakura getting knocked up, any couple with Naruto has a high rate of getting knocked up lol. Thank you for your review i appreciate it and it helps me keep writing knowing someone read it.

MegaDarkly chapter 4 . Feb 24

Nice update! I will say that it is interesting with the route that you're going. I hope that you have an ending planned for your story.

I want to also say that you misunderstood my helpful hints on quoting characters. I will try to be brief on how I explain this because I know that Grammar is annoying to talk about.

Anyway, theseare quotation marks. Theseare Apostrophes. Theseare Parenthesis.

When your characters speak out loud, you should use Quotation Marks.

When your characters think, you should use Apostrophes with the words Italicized. Do not italicize words that are spoken. Only words that they are thinking in their minds. Never use Parentheses in your stories.

Use these guidelines when writing because these are how native English speakers write Narrative. If you want a visual aid to understand exactly how to write, then by all means, please look at my The Last One story and see how I use grammar in the story. You're also welcome to ask any questions about grammar to me by sending a PM to me. Also, if you get stuck or need help, you can write me for advice. I can help you work out ideas and plot things for your stories if you need it.

Anyway, I hope to see more soon. Thank you for the read.

Sorry to break it to you but i don't have an ending planned. I just write until the story shows itself on the paper. And when i am ready to wrap the story up i write the last chapter and then write the 2nd last then 3rd last then end the story. Thanks for the tips. I am also a native speaker but I am not used to writing dialogue. I read all my stories by listening to audible and having the author read the story to me so i haven't seen the mechanics hence why my grammar is atrocious. Thank you for your review i appreciate it and it helps me keep writing knowing someone read it.

Bree chapter 1 . Feb 26

Dear Author,

I do have one critique, actually...does everyone need to her paired. It's the sort of unrealistic that makes me role my eyes at the Boruto series, because it's so unlikely for everyone to have a child at the same time.

How are you pairing Karui and Chouji together? Is it a organic process or arranged? What about Kiba and Tamaki. Aren't they both just a joke on opposites. One's a cat person and the other likes dogs. It's...seems forced. Wouldn't it make sense for Kiba to be a bachelor and flirt around; until he was ready to settle down. Maybe hook up with a civilian. Chouji and Karui... literally mean heavy and light. It's a joke. Lol

I'm interested to see what you do with this. My only request is to avoid the Boruto storyline...it's trash in my opinion, but this is your story. So, best wishes hun.

Everyone needs to be paired because I think of it like Highschool. You leave high school and after 15 years everyone you knew is dating someone or married maybe even divorced. I think its natural that everyone eventually everyone you know or just about everyone has started something new with someone else. Of course when you see them after 15 years you don't know that X and Y got together with their current spouse recently or Z has been together for 10 years ect. With Boruto, if i had to defend it , in their world they have a very military centric world. For example Ino–Shika–Chō has 2 generations of clans united on a team with this team dynamic. Also i think if Naruto or Sasuke gets their girlfriend pregnant by default the rivalry will happen and then the other guy will feel the need to have a kid asap. But as for my story its going to be more like 3 couples have a kid then a year or 2 later 3 other couples and then another couple has a kid spread out. With Choji and Karui it will be organic and yes they are together. I'll show that couple happen from start to finish because i think it was the most random couple in boruto. With kiba and Tamaki it will be about physical attraction first then separation because of their cat and dog love differences and then affection. I think its a good idea to show an ortodox relationship that works. Because those happen to. And as for Boruto, i haven't watched the series much mostly just the Sasuke and jiraiya parts. So if i am following their storyline too much let me know. Thank you for your review i appreciate it and it helps me keep writing knowing someone read it.

MegaDarkly chapter 1 . Feb 24

These, "I" are quotation Marks. These, 'I' are Apostrophes. These, (I) are Parentheses.

Sorry, the review system for this site omitted certain things from my review. Hopefully, this shows up this way.

Well now i know how the system works and will keep trying to get it to a format that works best. Thank you for your review i appreciate it and it helps me keep writing knowing someone read it.
