Chapter 23 : The Reality of Life

The Wedding Day

Hyuga Mansion. 10 AM.

Hiashi was throwing fish pellets to the arowana fishes on the pond at the garden. It was a sunny day. The man was enjoying his morning routine.

He was interrupted by his eldest daughter, who was walking to him. She put the pellets in her hand and also threw some of them to the pond.

"I'm surprised that you came back here, Hanabi told me you and the kids had came back to live with your husband," Hiashi commented.

"Naruto's and his new wife are having a wedding reception today," Hinata replied, she certainly looked sad.

"They're holding a big wedding reception, i heard he's inviting the other Kages," Hiashi said, he pitied his daughter but he knew that it was better to be the first lady of Konoha rather than being the widow of the Hokage.

"Yes, i know," Hinata said, with sadness in her eyes. She was delightful enough that her father chose to stay at home and didn't come to the wedding.

"If it is possible, you have to make sure that Sarada woman to learn her position," Hiashi sternly said it. Hinata was surprised by Hiashi's words. "You are still a Hyuga princess, a royalty, you deserve to be treated much better than that girl must know that Naruto married her only out of pity," Hiashi added. There was a faint smile in her face, Hinata nodded and said "Yes, father."

"Big sister!" Hanabi ran into her with a red colored cellphone in her hand. When she arrived in front of Hinata, she quickly opened the chatting application in her phone and showed to Hinata and Hiashi. "This is madness! That bastard of a man made some ninja to transform be you and the kids," Hanabi explained. Hinata could immediately feel her blood boiled and anger in her vein.

That bastard of a husband.

Wedding Reception Location.

The woman with lavender eyes and dark hair walked through the crowd. She was so angry, she didn't care anymore if others are staring at her.

All eyes were on her and they're discussing about her and how on earth there were another form of her wearing a kimono seating in family's seating place.

But, no one was more shocked than Naruto Uzumaki himself. He was speechless when he saw his wife storming into the party, with her anger. He was so sure she was going to gentle fist her.

Sasuke and Sakura were too shocked, they could only freeze with their mouth wide opened.

So, Naruto had put a clone of Hinata on the family seating?

Hinata walked very fast and she's coming to slap the one who's impersonating her. The fake Hinata suddenly turned to be Konohamaru, the sight shocked everyone.

It was the first time they saw Hinata angry and it scared them. All of them were quickly standing up from the chairs and froze in their original form.

"Holy shit!" Shikadai cursed while covering his mouth. He immediately understood what's going on, the boy was staring at Lady Hinata slapping Konohamaru.

All eyes were on Hinata. Everyone saw what's going on.

Naruto immediately walked fast to Hinata and grabbed her arm before she started slapping Moegi and Udon and turning them to their original form.

"Hinata! Please stop!" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her away from Konohamaru.

"Naruto, what's wrong with you? I told you exactly that i wouldn't come, why did you make Konohamaru and some other ninja that you can command to do transformation jutsu to be me and the kids!? So, people would think that we agree of your marriage with your little mistress over there?!" Hinata was yelling at her husband. Everyone could hear what she's talking about. As if she wanted everyone to know that she actually disagreed with Naruto's wedding.

Sarada on the other hand was looking at them shockingly, the girl's mouth wide opened. Sarada covered her mouth while anxiety suddenly hammered her chest. She could feel her heart beat so fast, she was so scared of what could happen next.

"Sasuke was still standing there with Sakura clinging to him because of her postural instability. Sasuke could sense that something really bad would happen in few minutes. "Sasuke, just leave me, just go help our daughter," Sakura whispered to her husband. She was worried as well but still too drunk to act.

"You married her ...," Before Hinata had finished talking, Sasuke ran and immediately pulled her and Naruto to the dimension tunnel.

At that time, the only place that Sasuke remembered was Hokage's Office. The three of them were at the office.

"Sasuke, this is none of your business!" Hinata, still with her byakyugan on yelled to Sasuke with her index finger pointing at him. "It's my business with this lying cheating bastard of a man right here," Hinata was completely losing her calmness, she pushed Naruto with her gentle fist unto his chest, luckily for Naruto, Kurama lent him its chakra so it didn't throw Naruto's body away to the wall.

"Of course this is my business!" Sasuke yelled back at Hinata. "You're going to embarrass my daughter in public!" Sasuke's eye turned red due to the emotion. "Weren't you the one who told me that you wouldn't let your daughter to marry my husband?" Hinata cynically gazed at the Uchiha man. "Hinata!" Naruto broke the staring game between the two.

"I married Sarada without Sasuke's and Sakura's consent as well," Naruto coughed because of the damage Hinata had done to him. "Sasuke is just being a father who's trying to prevent more damage to his daughter's image and he also understands that Sarada loves me way too much it's impossible to separate her from me!" Naruto defended Sasuke.

"You both are disgusting men," Hinata was glaring at both Naruto and Sasuke, with her byakyugan.

"You also never say that i cannot hire a ninja with a transformation jutsu ability to be you," Naruto tried to defend himself. That only angered Hinata even more. She was almost going to gentle fist her husband again but instead she refrained from doing so.

"You know what? I don't care! I'm coming back to the wedding and i will let everyone know what kind of husband you are!" Hinata immediately walked fast to the door and right when she touched the knob, Sasuke hit the back of her neck in a very swift motion, causing the woman to immediately faint. Naruto immediately captured his unconscious wife.

"If Hinata or any of your children tries to do anything like this again, i will make sure to turn your life into a living hell," Sasuke glared at Naruto with his red and purple eyes. Naruto knew that he wasn't kidding. He knew how frightening Sasuke could be, but what he was afraid the most wasn't his own life, it was Hinata's and his children's lives.

"You should learn to keep your promise and make your wife behave," Sasuke said before leaving the office through the door.

Naruto's Apartment. 11 PM.

Sarada was gazing at the view from the window. She was expecting her husband to come back to her that night. He was probably arguing with Hinata about the arrangement.

She could imagine them fighting, with whom Sarada called "the old woman with cow tits".

She was probably screaming and crying to Naruto, expecting him to cancel the marriage because he was using other people to transform as her.

Then, her alarm rang again. It was the time for her to breastfeed Karuto. So, she did it. It wasn't easy for her to do so. Breastfeeding ruined her posture. She could imagine how nice it would be if Naruto was accompanying her, perhaps massaging her shoulders as well.

That night, Sarada had sleepless night. She had to take care of Karuto by herself. It was exhausting. He kept on crying and she had to give him breastmilk every four hours.

Naruto didn't come back that night. He appeared in the morning. The sun had already shining. Naruto visited his second wife on this way to the office. He found his exhausted young wife sleeping on the sofa with Karuto inside his baby box with her.

"Sarada ... why are you and Karuto sleeping outside?" Naruto hung his orange jacket and put on his working bag. Sarada woke up with headache, when she saw Naruto, she wanted to slap him but instead she was crying. She sat andhugged Naruto tight, very tight. "Please ... please be with me," Naruto was surprised seeing Sarada crying on his belly, wetting his white t-shirt. "I can't raise Karuto alone," She cried. "Sarada ... i'm here, we'll raise Karuto together, okay?" Naruto rubbed her shoulder, the girl tilted her head to gazed at her husband's blue eyes. He gulped. "I will sleep here tonight ... I will come to see you and Karuto for three times a week," Naruto said to the young girl. Sarada knew she shouldn't complain. He got a family in the other side he had to take care too. She couldn't ask him to pick her and only her. She hugged him even tighter, smelling his scent from his t-shirt, not wanting to let him go.

"Promise me that you will visit me often," she gazed at him. "Of course i will, Sarada-chan" Naruto replied the young girl as he rubbed her jet black hair.

Naruto's Old Apartment. 3 PM.

It was clear that the apartment had been refurnished so it would be nicer for Naruto and Sarada to be there. They have nicer wallpaper, bigger bed, newer kitchen sets and dining table, new refrigerator and tv and even new shower. The wallpaper was in soft beige color with a bit of champagne tinge. It looked nice but it was small.

It was the first time Sasuke and Sakura visited Sarada after a month their daughter's marriage. Sarada was there in the living room with her baby in the mobile baby box that Naruto had bought for her.

Their daughter looked exhausted with her dull skin and the bags under her eyes, she was wearing a red colored shirt and black legging when she was welcoming her parents inside the apartment. Sasuke put on his cape on the hanger and looked around the small apartment. He remembered that it was very untidy and uglier, Naruto certainly did something to make the apartment looked better.

"Do you need help in taking care of Karuto?" Sakura said to her, she was concerned with her daughter's well-being. It was her first time being a mother and it was at such tender young age. "How many times a week does your beloved husband come to visit you?" Sasuke asked to his daughter while sitting on the sofa. "He came here around three times a week," Sarada said. "Three times a week only?" Sasuke sneered. Sarada nodded. "Tch! He should have visited you everyday! You're a teenage girl raising a baby alone for god's sake!" Sasuke sighed. Despite not saying anything, Sakura agreed with what Sasuke said. Naruto, being the older one in the relationship and had experience with two kids should have known how much help Sarada needed to take care of Karuto during Karuto's first year.

Sasuke then stood up and walked around, looking every edge of the apartment with disgust in his eyes. "Such a small ugly place," Sasuke commented. "But, a girl like you deserves a small ugly place like this," Sasuke sneered at his daughter.

"Sasuke!" Sakura pinched her husband's arm and whispered to him. "You shouldn't be that mean to Sarada," Sakura whispered to him, she looked worried to Sarada, the woman turned her gaze to Sarada, looking at her with pity. A girl with so many potential destroying her own future for a man. She understood why Sasuke was still angry but Sarada's a stubborn girl, she wouldn't back off just because her parents told her to.

Then Sarada prepared snacks for them. She took out the chocolate pudding she made out of the fridge and presented it with vanilla rum fla. They all were eating in silence. Then, Sasuke and Sakura left.

When they were quite far away from Sarada's apartment, Sakura asked her husband "Why were you so mean to Sarada?" Sasuke gazed at his wife and replied "She should learn the consequences of her action."

Uchiha Residence. 6:30 PM.

Sakura was celebrating her birthday. She invited only her family that evening. Sasuke and her had prepared Korean foods for the guests.

"Happy birthday, my wife" Sasuke kissed Sakura's cheek from behind and put her pink and white cake with a mini-Sakura wearing her medic-nin white robe made of sugar on top of the chocolate cake.

The bell rang. Sakura opened the door and saw her parents coming, Mebuki was pushing the wheelchair with Kizashi on the wheelchair. Sakura helped Mebuki with the wheelchair going inside the house, she then helped her by pushing the wheelchair to the table.

"The dress you're wearing is very revealing for a woman your age," Mebuki didn't congratulate Sakura first, instead she commented on Sakura's red qipao that has quite high slit that showed her legs. "And happy birthday to you from us," She then picked the green box that she located under the wheelchair and gave it to Sakura. "Thank you, mother, father," she replied.

Kizashi and Mebuki didn't even greet Sasuke. It was always Sasuke who greeted them first.

"Good evening, mother, father, how are you?" Sasuke tried to greet both of them. It always happened with Mebuki side-eyeing him replying him with one letter "good" and that's all.

Sasuke never liked Sakura's parents, for how they had treated Sakura and how they had treated him, like an outsider. It took years to finally able to dine together like that with them, yet they still didn't like him.

Few minutes later, the bell rang again. When Sasuke opened it, it was Sarada, Karuto and ... Naruto. He was going to be angry but then he remembered that Naruto had already become Sarada's husband, it was normal for her to come with her husband. The couple then went inside the living room together, pushing Karuto's stroller inside. Mebuki who never saw her grand grandchild was so excited to see him, she stood up and then walked to Karuto's stroller and immediately carried the baby with her.

"Oh my, he is so cute!" Mebuki pinched the baby's chubby cheek. "Yes, he is, Mrs. Haruno," Naruto replied. Mebuki was so happy when she saw the sight of The Hokage in front of her. "It is such a pleasure to be a family of the Hokage," Mebuki shamelessly smiled and shook his hand. Naruto sheepishly smiled to her.

After Naruto and Sarada giving their gift and said "Happy birthday" to Sakura, the dinner was filled with awkward silence and Mebuki asslicking Naruto, with her fake smile and appraisals. "So, where do you live right now, Sarada-chan?" For a while, she didn't talk to Naruto, she talked to Sarada. "I live in Naruto's old apartment," Sarada smiled. "Oh ... is it the old apartment that Nanadaime lived at before he became the Hokage?" Mebuki asked. "Yes, but, Nanadaime had it renovated ... so, it is a lot prettier nowadays," Sarada grinned, she tried to defend Naruto knowing that her Papa, during the whole dinner was looking at both of them with displeasure in his face.

During the dinner, Sarada's alarm rang and it reminded her that she had to breastfeed Karuto. She picked Karuto up from the stroller and went inside the closest room of the first floor, her old bedroom.

When she was breastfeeding Karuto, someone knocked the room. She was expecting it to be her mother or Naruto. But, it was her grandmother who appeared before her. "Hey! Sarada! You're so lucky that Hokage wanted to marry you!" Her grandmother sat beside her. "And to have such a cute son from the Hokage," Mebuki said while looking and smiling at the baby who latched on his mother's nipple. "It must be nice to be Hokage's wife," Mebuki said. Sarada only smiled at her grandma while she was breastfeeding her son. She wasn't that close with Mebuki but with her being The Hokage's wife turned Mebuki to be incredibly nice to her. Somehow it felt nice for her how everyone turned to be so respectful to her despite her being the second wife.

"But, you should be careful too ... you know there are those people who dislike the notion of polygamous marriage, i saw it on TV how these people would bully the second wife, to the point of throwing snakes into her house and wrote "SLUT" on her door and walls," Mebuki warned Sarada. Sarada had that fear once in her heart. After a month went by, that fear disappeared due to how kind people were to her simply because she's The Hokage's wife. But, that fear erupted again in her heart. She was silent during the whole time with her empty gaze. "Sarada, don't think about it that much, your husband is the Hokage, he will never let you be hurt," Mebuki hugged the young girl from lateral side. "All you need to think is how to be his favorite wife now that you're also his wife," Mebuki whispered, she made sure no one could hear her message to Sarada. Then her grandmother stood up and walked to the exit. Sarada didn't say a thing. She was scared. Utterly scared out of sudden.

She realized how at that point perhaps Hinata hated her so much and how perhaps she could send people to hurt her, knowing that she's a woman from a loaded family, the Hyugas.

When Mebuki and Sarada were inside the room, Sakura pushed her father to stroll around the small garden behind her house. While Naruto and Sasuke were left just the two of them, eating Korean shaved ice cream with fruits on top of it. It was a moment of silence between the two of them. "Sasuke, how is Sakura?" Until Naruto opened his mouth and talked. "It's none of your business," Sasuke sneered. "I know you're still angry at me ... but i want you to know that i'm taking care of Sarada and Karuto so you don't have to worry about them," Naruto said. His words only made Sasuke angry. "Huh?" Sasuke scoffed. "Shouldn't you take care of Sarada just like how you took care of Hinata when she was pregnant with Boruto?" Sasuke added, he only side-eyed the blond Hokage. Naruto sighed. He knew what Sasuke meant. Better place to live. More time for Sarada. More help for her in taking care of Karuto. But, he's a Hokage. He couldn't have that much time for Sarada and Karuto, especially that he had to also give his time for Hinata, Boruto and Himawari. "I will try my best," Naruto said. Sasuke didn't say anything, he just mocked him with his expression by rolling his eyes.

After the event ended, all of them came back to their own houses. During the night walk, Naruto hugged Sarada who was pushing Karuto's stroller from beside. Sarada just smiled at him. He thought that he would feel like a king with two wives. But, it was more headache that he was expecting. He loved Hinata. He also cared about Sarada and he loved Karuto very much.

Naruto had voluntarily jumped into this tangled thread kind of life, so he had to be responsible for it.

"I promise i'll take care of you and Karuto," Naruto whispered to his wife's ear, causing the young girl's cheeks to change color. "I love you," she smiled at him as they were walking together to the apartment.

Naruto's old apartment. 8 PM.

Naruto visited Sarada quite often, exactly like how he had promised her to. Three times a week, sometimes he even came to her for four times a week and she didn't complain a bit about it and she never rejected his offer to have sex.

Sarada was wearing her loose t-shirt in dark blue with the same color shorts. She had put Karuto to sleep. The girl was staying on the bed while reading a book about cooking. She had to learn in being the housewife. She wasn't made to be a housewife. Her mother always supported her idea of becoming a full blown kunoichi, she could cook but she's not a great cook and she certainly didn't have that much patience in handling children.

She often cried alone when she was too exhausted in taking care of Karuto, it wasn't easy to breastfed Karuto with her low quantity of breastmilk and sometimes her child was adamant in drinking from the bottle, which made him to be prone to dehydration.

When she closed the book and put it in the desk, Naruto came inside their bedroom, still with his working attire. "Sarada, i'm home," Naruto said while walking right to the bedroom, looking for his wife and his son. He walked to the sleeping Karuto and watched the baby with a smile.

He was so excited to see Sarada, his young wife with her sensual teenage body and her pretty face. Naruto immediately bathed and came out of the bathroom only wearing a robe. He crawled on the bed to his wife, he crawled on top of her. "How were my sweet Sarada and my little Karuto doing?" He kissed her lips. "We're okay," Sarada replied the man.

She shouldn't bore him with her household duties and all her problems in taking care of Karuto. She shouldn't complain. She wanted to make Naruto happy.

Sarada could feel his boner grew on her legs, as he was kissing her with his hand touching her head. He then took off her blue top and her blue pants, the girl was only wearing her dark red underwear with a black bow in the middle of it. He then kissed her breasts and used his nipple to arouse the girl. "Naruto," there she moaned his name. His finger then went inside her private, rubbing her most sensitive spot of her private. The girl was shaking, moaning and her back arched. He kept on doing that until she was wet enough.

Naruto then pulled Sarada's panties, exposing her nude self. He then spread her legs and then he entered her. Ramming himself inside of hers, enjoying every bit of her body, being highly aroused by her helpless moaning. Her eyes were closed and her breath was fast. His wife wasn't as excited as usual. She would usually try to arouse him or take control. But, that night, she was different.

"Sarada, are you alright?" Naruto stopped moving though he was still inside of her and asked her. Suddenly, the young girl cried. He then got out of hers and sat up. His boner was gone when he saw her crying. He then laid beside hers and pulled her closer to his. She kept on sobbing to the point when her crying didn't exude any sound. Naruto could only rub his hand on her head, trying to calm her down.

"I'm ... tired ... i'm really tired ... i can neither be a good wife nor a good mother," Sarada sobbed until she wet Naruto's chest with her tears. "Sshhh ... you are a good wife and a good mother," Naruto tried to calm her. "I am lacking of breastmilk and i don't even have the energy to please my husband," Sarada's stress took a toll on her. She blurted everything to Naruto.

Naruto had that fear before. Sarada afterall was still a teenager and she had to take care of the baby by herself. Naruto observed his wife, her face looked gaunt, her body looked thinner, her skin looked dull. He could see how prominent her collarbone had became and how pointy her shoulder had became.

"Do you want me to accompany you to medic-nin tomorrow?" Naruto asked her. "Yes," Sarada said to him softly.

Naruto knew that he had to ask Hinata to change the visitation arrangement between Sarada and Hinata. He couldn't just meet Sarada three times a week. The girl practically just gave birth and she had to raise Karuto alone, as a teenager.

Uzumaki Residence. 11 PM.

Naruto came home a little late that night. Hinata was already tucking Himawari to bed. She was also ready to sleep inside Himawari's bedroom if Naruto came home too late that night.

When she wanted to sleep, she heard Himawari's bedroom door slowly opened and she could see her husband who was already in his pyjama was standing there, using his fingers to call for her.

"Naruto-kun, what is it?" Hinata came out of the room, pushed the door and closed it. She was already wearing her white silk long sleeve pyjama. Naruto pulled her wrist and guided her to their bedroom.

He sat on the bed and ordered her to sit in front of him, which she obeyed. "Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" Her lavender eyes were gazing at his blue eyes. She was unsuspecting towards him.

"I think ... i need to visit Sarada-chan more often," Naruto said, while looking into his wife's lavender eyes. Hinata inhaled and exhaled. She was angry, she wanted to hit Naruto right away. "Is it not enough for that bitch to have you three four times a week?" Hinata was going to yell but she remembered Himawari was already sleeping and she didn't want to wake her up. "Look ... she's a teenager raising a newborn ... she needs someone to be there for her," Naruto held Hinata's hands. "Naruto! A promise is a promise! Why do you want to break your promise?" Hinata raised her voice a little bit. "Now she's asking for you to come there five or six times a week and then what? For you not to come back here anymore? To stay forever with that slut?" Hinata added, veins starting to protrude surrounding her eyes. "Hinata!" Naruto was the one raising his voice. He was yelling at her. "I can't leave a teenager raising my son alone! Karuto Uzumaki is my son! my own flesh and blood! If you want me to be here, i can send you some clones if you want to!" He continued. "I don't care if you don't give me permission, i've told you already," Naruto ended his emotional outburst.

Hinata in her irritation didn't say a thing, she just stood up, walked out and slammed the door of their bedroom very loudly. Naruto could feel his head like being penetrated with thousand needles. The migraine kicked in badly.

"You should take care of that child, he is the child that will be my next host," Kurama's voice popped out in his head. "You know, it's easy for you to say, having two wives is damn stressful," Naruto replied the beast with irritation in is tone. "I want you to know that if your first wife ever try to hit you with her fist, i will always protect you," Kurama said. Naruto knew that. Kurama had protected him few times. "And if you ever want to discipline your wife, i will also gladly lend you my power," the beast said. "I might be a bastard for cheating on her and marrying Sarada ... but i will never hit Hinata," he replied the beast. "... or Sarada," he added.

1 AM. Naruto's Old Apartment.

Sarada was alone in the living room. She was breastfeeding her baby on the sofa while watching TV. Suddenly, there was a sound of crashed window followed with a big stone destroying the floor of the apartment.

The event shocked Sarada and her baby immediately cried. Then when Sarada was trying to calm her baby, another stone, smaller one was thrown to her room from the window, creating another hole of the window.

Sarada could see there's a paper attached to the stone and when he read what was written on the paper, her eyes widened.

'GET OUT OF KONOHA, YOU SLUT!"

Author's Note :

I have this headcanon that Sasuke is quite a patriarchal husband and father, he's the big man on the family. Despite, his wife working etc, he still thinks that as a man you have to both provide and be able to "lead" the family, including making sure how his wife and his daughter behaves. He loves Sarada for sure and he won't let even more damage happening to his daughter's well-being(and her reputation).

I also wrote Sarada having this hard exhausting depressing moment in raising Karuto. She's however still a teenager but she had to take care of a baby when all of her friends were still enjoying life as teens.

This path is getting more soap opera-y than ever anyway. But, a soap opera is somehow inevitable when you have two wives who dislike each other.

And also thank you for the comments, especially for Rayah19, Cuatro 04, Iam Vermillion, and Darkuro.

For the name Karuto ... i was actually inspired by Kalluto from Hunter x Hunter and i somehow portray Naruto as the man who likes to have "-to" in his son's name, just like Minato, to continue the legacy, so Karuto it is and i actually just realized after Cuatro 04 had commented that it meant cult and the story did have some cult involvement in it and Sarada even used the cult (Gonchato) to stir the chaos and somehow ended marrying Naruto.

And for the one who said that it's a porn fetish story ... i don't think the characters would get incredibly shamed by the other characters for doing so called porn/fetish thing in a porn-fetish story. This is mainly a (family) drama fic and i'd like to keep it that way.

Please comment some more if you want me to keep on writing the continuation this fic.

Naruto and Boruto and anything related to them certainly don't belong to me.
