Chapter 26 : A Year Later
Epilogue
Land of Wind's Main Hospital. 11 PM.
Naruto was having a work trip to the Land of Wind to do a meeting with the Kazekage and his staffs. It was happening just fine, but the man added one more day of his stay in the Land of Wind, to get himself a full medical checkup at the hospital.
The man was wearing a blue hospital robe while waiting at the private waiting room for a body scan. Suddenly, a man with burgundy hair entered the room. "Hey! Gaara! That's very nice of you to check on me," Naruto stood up and greeted his friend. "I have a free time until lunch," Gaara said. "So, what do you think of our hospital?" Gaara asked his friend. "It's great, i like it here," Naruto said. "Actually, i was wondering why you was so adamant in having a full medical checkup here and not in Konoha?" Gaara was confused with Naruto's action. "You know ... Sakura is the head doctor of Konoha hospital and she is technically my mother in law now, i don't want Sarada or Hinata or anyone in Konoha to worry about me if it turns out there's something wrong with my health," Naruto said.
Gaara was bewildered listening to his words. The second wife concept sounded very odd for him. Naruto's the first Hokage, or even the first Kage who had two wives. From where he came from, no one had a wife more than one. Some would have mistresses but never two wives, and if that's happening, only the first wife who was considered as the official wife.
"How is life with two wives?" Gaara asked his friend. "It is alright ... how about you?" Naruto asked him back. "You know i can't marry my partner," Gaara answered. Gaara's closest people knew that he was never attracted to any woman. Naruto's expression softened, the man gazed at Gaara's eyes "You are the Kazekage, you have the right to change the law here," Naruto said with his hand grabbing his shoulder. "You know things work differently here," Gaara sighed. "You know, few months ago there was a ruckus among the citizen because one of our high-ranking shinobi was caught having sex in a hotel with his partner, his same-sex partner," Gaara told a story. "You know, Sunagakure isn't Konoha, so everyone, the people and the council said that both of them must be punished," Gaara said. He remembered the man's face correctly. He was an old man, a widow with a daughter still in her teenage years. Gaara had known that the man was bisexual, a tall handsome old man in his fourties, also with the same color of red with the Kazekage, and with grey eyes. While his boyfriend was a man in his early thirties, a feminine man with curly black hair and dark pink eyes with golden skin. It wasn't a big problem until later on the council disliked him for speaking up to the media about his disapproval towards their decision to dismiss a group killing case by a group of Genin boys towards a transgender just because they thought that being a transgender was abnormal and such person needed to be killed. The council defended the Genin boys because "they're still children" and "whether that transgender exists or not is not important, the children's future is more important because they're promising young ninjas". Gaara himself was present during the meeting but he remembered how his boyfriend told him just to stay silent when they're discussing about the case and it was the right decision, they would have created a ruckus if the elders of the council knew what the Kazekage was doing at night at his own house.
"So, what happened to them?" Naruto asked. "The council said that they had to choose in between two choices, either to be thrown to the desert or to be jailed for five years and castrated," Gaara explained, he could never forget that meeting when he couldn't say anything out of fear of being caught for being another man who slept with a man. He just nodded and stayed quiet all the time. "The older shinobi has a daughter so he chose to be stripped off of his rank and went to get himself castrated and went to jail while the younger shinobi chose to be exiled to the desert," Gaara inhaled, he might be talking about another person but it felt emotional for him. "And the younger shinobi was found dead few days after he was exiled ... the post mortem report said that he killed himself," Gaara sighed. "Do them being caught has anything to with that shinobi defending that transgender who was killed by a group of genins?" Naruto asked. The question surprised Gaara, he thought that outsiders didn't know about it, they've tried really hard to bury the case. "Well, Shikamaru told me about it," Naruto added. Gaara only nodded. "Gaara, apparently you're here, i am done already with the checkup, we should go back to the office," a man with blonde hair with pink tips and blue eyes showed up in front of them, he was a man in his early thirties, he had slim physique and he was wearing a beige jacket, white shirt inside and black pants, the man sounded very soft and feminine. Gaara and Naruto stood up. "Naruto, this is Karasu Shou, he's my assistant and my second advisor," Gaara introduced Shou to him. Naruto immediately knew that he was Gaara's boyfriend. "Nice to meet you, Hokage-sama," Shou smiled at Naruto. The Hokage could feel how soft Shou's hand was. "Shou, could you please check on how long does it take for Naruto to be able to use the machine?" Gaara asked.
"Gaara, you can always live peacefully with Shou in Konoha when you're done being The Kazekage," Naruto said in a very low volume while grabbing his shoulder tighter. The red haired man smiled at his friend.
Gaara's Office.
Gaara was looking at the view from the window of his office. It was very sunny as usual. Something bothered his mind. What Naruto had said about him retiring from being a Kazekage and live a simple life with Shou Karasu, somewhere far from the city and the politics, maybe they could change their names & live there as a couple who paraded as two best friends in front of people while living peacefully.
Maybe he can retire in few years after Shinki was ready to be a Kazekage. That would be a nice retirement days if he could live peacefully like that.
"Shou, how's the result of Naruto's health examination?" Gaara asked as Shou was entering his office. The man was certainly far from being swift like a ninja.
"It's ... bad actually," Shou said. "How bad?" Gaara looked anxious. "It's not that bad," Shou put the files on Gaara's table. "It's an autoimmune disease, a rare one, he will need to take medication every single day for the rest of his life," Shou said. "And some injections too every two weeks," Shou added. Gaara moved closer and read the report. "In few years, perhaps, it will be almost impossible for him to fight or be the Hokage anymore," Shou walked closer to Gaara. "Ah i see," Gaara was relieved actually. It wasn't that bad. Naruto had few years to prepare the next Hokage.
But, then Gaara turned his head and gazed at Shou's eyes. "Shou, this is confidential, no one shall know about this," Gaara said. Shou formed a slight smile on his face. "You really care about the Hokage, i almost felt a little jealous you know," Shou giggled before giving Gaara a peck on his cheek.
A year later. Hospital. 11 PM.
"Karuto Uzumaki," the nurse called Sarada's son name. He was a one year old boy at that time and he didn't want to eat and he kept on crying.
So, Sarada brought him to the medical nin. Sakura told her to see the newly transferred medical nin, his name was Makoto. When Sarada entered the room, she was expecting a balding old man. But, she was surprised when what she saw was a handsome man in his early thirties, with ashy green hair, hazel eyes and clear warm fair skin. He was as tall as her father and he was wearing a white coat that covered his mint green top and grey pants. Sarada couldn't help but to blush at the handsome medic nin. She hadn't felt attracted to another man for a long time, it was Naruto and only Naruto in her life.
Then Sarada put Karuto on the examination table. The child was crying because of the fever. Then, Makoto put a stethoscope on the baby's chest, he also checked his ear, nose, eyes and mouth.
"Does he experience any diarrhea?" Makoto asked Sarada who was holding her child on the examination table. "No," Sarada replied. His warm hazel eyes really made her felt something, something she shouldn't feel because she's Naruto's wife.
"Ah, i see that his throat is red, let me perform a jutsu to reduce the inflammation and i'm going to give you a prescription for medication," Makoto said while preparing his hand to form a jutsu and then putting the gently on her child's neck, a soft green light glowed from his hand. The irritable child suddenly went calm. Sarada was amazed at Makoto's jutsu, it really calmed her son.
"That's all, Mrs. Uzumaki," His smile made her blush. "Sa ... Sarada is fine," she was stuttering. "So, Ms. Sarada, this is the prescription and please come back in three days if your son hasn't gotten well," Makoto said while handing the prescription to the young mother of one.
Sarada's Apartment.
Sarada never knew that there's a man that attractive in Konoha. She always thought that Naruto's the most attractive man in Konoha, according to her very own standard.
For the past few weeks, Naruto's presence in the apartment became less and less. He always said it was because of work. But, Sarada couldn't help but to think that was because of Hinata's request or perhaps just simply because Naruto enjoyed more of Hinata's presence than hers.
She ate alone that afternoon. Luckily for her that Karuto was sleeping. She was eating a cup ramen that night while watching the TV. Suddenly, she heard her bell rang. She left her ramen cup and walked right to the door. When she opened it, she saw a face that had made her blush, Makoto Takibana sensei.
He was wearing a green sweater, beige chino and smiling with a gold colored square box with a red bow on top in his hands. "Makoto sensei!" Sarada smiled back at him. "Hi, Ms. Sarada, i have just moved in here and i would like to give you pineapple cookies as your new neighbor," Makoto said. Sarada accepted the gift, she was so flustered she could only thank the man.
"How's Karuto? Is he getting better?" Makoto asked her. "Yes, he is," Sarada smiled, still flustered by his presence. "And ... since we're neighbors, you can always call me to come into your house to check on Karuto," Makoto smiled again.
After Makoto left, Sarada immediately closed the door with her heart beat even faster.
What is this that i'm feeling right now? This is a forbidden feeling! I shouldn't even feel that way about Makoto sensei!
That day, she managed to brush off her feeling. She kept on reminding herself that she was Naruto's wife. A wife of a dream husband.
Naruto's visitation was getting even less frequent. From three times a week, to twice a week, to once a week to once every two weeks. He always said that he was very busy with the work.
That night, Naruto visited Sarada in their apartment. After he had taken a bath, he changed into a white t-shirt and orange shorts. He went to Karuto's room and played with the child until he fell asleep.
Sarada who was already done writing on her financial note had an idea that she thought might make Naruto would want to stay more often with her. She started to change into a sexier lingerie. She wore a red colored transparent babydoll with a g-string. She blow dried her hair and she wore red lipstick on. For the final touch she put on a pair of sexy black shiny stiletto with pointy ends.
Naruto was yawning when he was entering the room. He was sleepy but he could feel his blood rushed into his penis when he saw his wife in a sexy attire sitting on top of their bed, crossing her smooth legs.
"Darling, i'm horny," She said in her sultry child-like voice. Naruto closed the door and walked immediately to the young woman who was on the bed. He didn't remember when was the last time Hinata wore such sexy lingerie for sex.
Naruto pushed the young woman's body to the bed. He then crawled on top of her, kissing the young woman's lips while touching her chest. "Sarada, you're so sexy," Naruto said, while kissing her neck, biting her skin lightly. Sarada stopped him for a while, she pushed his body. The girl stood up and suddenly performed a jutsu, a clone jutsu. There Naruto who was sitting on the bed could see that there were two Sarada in her sexiest form standing in front of him. He couldn't help but to touch both of her butts with his hands and slapped them.
"Let me pleasure you," Both of them knelt down on the floor. One of them pulled his pants to expose his erect member. Naruto's cheeks went pink when he saw Sarada and her clone started to lick his member, causing it to be even harder. He tilted his head back, he was enjoying every bit of it. "God you're good!" His hand was touching the girl's head and his other hand was on the bed, holding his body from collapsing to the bed. Sarada and her clone stopped licking once there's a precum. She then pushed Naruto's shoulder so the man would lie on the bed. Sarada then crawled on top of him, inserting his into hers and started to rock her hips, while her clone was rimming him.
"Since when did you become this naughty?" Naruto couldn't even concentrate, too much sensation that was overwhelming his whole body. Whether it's his sexy young wife riding him or it was her clone rimming him. Sarada didn't answer, instead she was enjoying herself on top of him. She was moaning his name.
The sex continued with him taking control at the end and almost taking off her babydoll. Naruto then performed doggy style on her with his fingers moving inside her clone's private. They both came in that position and her clone disappeared.
Sarada then lied on his chest. The hokage was still trying to catch a breath when Sarada suddenly asked a question that certainly had nothing to do about sex. "Darling, since Karuto is big already, can i work again?" She sat up on the bed. "No," Naruto answered. "Why?" Sarada asked, she sounded irritated. "Because Karuto is still a baby, he needs his mother to stay with him," Naruto sighed. "I can bring him to the office or i can just ask mama to take care of Karuto," Sarada insisted. But, the hokage wasn't convinced, instead his irritation grew. "No is no, Sarada-chan," Naruto replied his wife. "That's not reasonable! I want to go back being a kunoichi! I can't stand being a housewife 24/7!" Sarada yelled at the older man. "Sarada, i am tired, i have work tomorrow, i want to sleep," Naruto then laid on the bed with his back facing Sarada's face, he slept soundly immediately, leaving the young girl alone.
"I missed you so much you know!" She snuggled closer to her husband, with her small fingers on his shoulder. "Sarada, i said no, it means no," Naruto shouted. Sarada stopped touching his shoulder and got out of the room. She slept on the sofa instead. She's too pissed at her husband.
Every morning, Sarada went out with Karuto to the park, simply so she and her son would get proper exposure to the sun and sometimes she went to the market to buy things she would need to cook for her husband whenever he came home.
Since dr. Makoto moved to the apartment, she saw him almost everyday at the market, it took small chit chat between them every morning to find out that he's a single man in his early thirties, who was a medical ninja in the Land of Water, he moved to Konoha because he wanted to learn more about pediatric care, and he loved to swim and cook. Makoto was also so kind to Sarada, he often sent his baked goods to Sarada and they tasted great.
It was raining that day and Sarada forgot to bring an umbrella with her so she was stuck at the market alone. She immediately went for the closest coffee shop. It was crowded. She was lucky that her child was with Sakura that day.
"Over here!" A familiar voice called her. It was Makoto-sensei. He was sitting alone with a glass of coffe on his table, along with his shopping bags lying on the ground. The tall man was waving his hand to Sarada.
Sarada walked closer to him. She had heavy shopping bags in her hands. Makoto walked closer to her and helped her with her shopping bags and put them under the table.
Sarada sat facing Makoto, the handsome medical ninja, the doctor Makoto, the doctor of her son.
From that chat alone, Sarada found out about Makoto's fascination towards children and the knowledge about taking care of children, medically. She found a man who's so dedicated to his job attractive.
She also got herself accidentally talking about her problems in raising Karuto and how he wonderfully explained to her on how to solve them.
It seemed like their conversation just lasted forever, Sarada felt like the man could answer anything and he was a gentleman.
The conversation even continued when both of them were walking home together with Makoto handling Sarada's groceries and right when they arrived in front of Sarada's apartment, Makoto gave her groceries to say goodbye.
He made her not feeling sad and lonely anymore.
Every man has the fantasy woman in his dream that he loves to relive with his partner.
For Sai Yamanaka, his fantasy was a blonde dominatrix wearing body-hugging tight latex dress with a whip on her left hand and a metal handcuff on her right hand. They even had a box filled with kinky items both Sai and Ino loved.
For Shikamaru Nara, his fantasy was a student-teacher relationship. Where he would be this delinquent student who would get special detention by his sexy teacher in white crisp shirt and tight pencil skirt covering her smooth legs with feet covered in shiny black heels.
For Choji Akimichi, it was sleeping with superheroine fantasy. A fit woman in tight colorful spandex with a mini skirt on top of it, with a small cape too. Reliving his childhood fantasy in his bedroom.
For Sasuke, it was a lewd housewife fantasy. A woman cooking for him in just apron. Well, he was proud with Sakura being a working woman but once a while when Sarada's not around, they would do the scenario.
For the Hokage himself, Naruto Uzumaki, his fantasy revolves around the young kunoichi fantasy. A pretty girl who had just becomes a complete adult wearing that youthful kunoichi outfit, the tight sleeveless top that showed her toned arms and the mini skirt on top of her body hugging biker short that showed the shape of her round butt. Midriff that's shown when she's moving around. Underneath them all, a pair of white bra and undies. Plus point if she wore her hair twin tails.
Uzumaki Residence. Main bedroom.
Hinata was cleaning their bedroom. She was sorting all the outfits in their wardrobe. She found herself outfits that had made her cheeks blushing red.
Those sexy kunoichi outfits Naruto had asked her to wear when she was younger. From the realistic one, the one she used to wear when she was younger, the one that showed off her midriff, the one that's being matched with a biker short, and the unrealistically sexy one inspired by a game character that had incredibly high slit and cleavage galore in red.
One thing Hinata knew, his husband liked his woman youthful looking, almost adolescence. That's why she wore that cropped jacket, because it made her looked young. That's why she wore her bermuda short, because it made her looked young, that's why she cut her hair short, because it made her looked young. That's why she spent a lot in anti-aging skincare, so she would always look young.
But, there's always a point when she could never look like she's in her early twenties anymore. It was when she lost her womb. She thought that she lost all of her femininity, her fertility, her ability to have vaginal orgasm, and her plump skin.
Beside those outfits, there were the pornos Naruto loved, the blazing lady fighter. It all starred a female porn actress with long jet black hair with perfect tits, smaller than hers but perfectly round and firm with firm abs and shapely buttocks. "Tifa" was written at the DVD cover, at the back of the box, there was a scene of that "Tifa" woman exposing her perfect tits and ass, getting pounded by men in a soft-lit bedroom.
Then, her husband cheated on her with this young kunoichi of his fantasy. A fresh young kunoichi, with soft black hair, toned figure, long legs, and round butt. One she could never compete with in term of youthfulness. He liked Sakura before when they were young, she was his type and Tifa, the black haired pornstar was his type, the energetic woman with toned slender body and nice butt. She should have realized that Sarada's the spitting image of young Sakura, except that she had dark eyes and dark hair, exactly like Tifa. Sarada was also an active kunoichi, a fine strong kunoichi too, the one with ambition over her career, Naruto's actual type. Not her. It was always a girl like Sarada.
She could never be able to take her as her husband's other wife with an open heart. Even after she took all of his properties, she still felt a big hole in her heart. But, she couldn't leave Naruto. She couldn't stand losing the man whom she had loved her whole life, her one true love.
After all, he's getting nicer to her, spent more time with her and her family, more than spending time with Sarada and Karuto.
Maybe it's time to open up to him again, she thought
But, just when she thought that Naruto had slowly came back to her, it happened again.
How Naruto treated Karuto and Sarada like fragile beings that couldn't take care of their own problems.
7 PM. Uzumaki Residence. Himawari's Birthday.
There were two people inside Naruto's bedroom. Him and Hinata, they were having regular chat between wife and husband before he suddenly got a call from Sarada, his other wife. She told him that their child had fever and it stressed her how it still wouldn't go down after two doses of anti-pyretic, while sobbing on the phone. It was the first time Sarada had to face her child being sick and Naruto completely understood her anxiety, therefore he decided to come to Sarada's place.
"Look! Karuto is sick! I have to go now," Naruto was putting all of his stuffs in his bag. He immediately put on his orange jacket to get out of the room.
"It's just a simple fever! She's an adult with a medic nin as a mother, she can take care or Karuto herself! You promised me that Thursday would always be the day you'd be here, with your family! And today is Himawari's birthday! You promised you'd stay with us for her birthday dinner!" Hinata yelled at him while pulling his sleeve.
"Karuto is sick!" Naruto yelled at her while swaying his arm away, it hit his wife. He didn't mean it to happen but Hinata had already started crying.
He never hit her before. He barely yelled at her before, except that one time he almost hit her because she disagreed upon their marriage and she called Sarada "a juvenile slut" and it happened, he hit her, because she wanted him to prioritize their daughter, Himawari, instead of his child with that juvenile slut.
"Hinata, i'm sorry, i didn't mean it to happen, i'm really sorry," Naruto felt so guilty. He was just trying to pull his arm away but instead he ended up hitting his wife. He was going to comfort Hinata, but then his phone rang again, and it was Sarada.
He picked up the phone only to hear another woman sobbing, panicking about their child being sick. He chose to go to his sick child.
"Hinata, i'm sorry, i'm really sorry, but i have to go to my sick son," Naruto said once again before leaving the room.
He then left her in their bedroom. Hinata then sat on their bed. The kids haven't got home yet, she was there all alone, crying
She can't stand living like that. With him prioritizing his younger wife and their child over her and their children. She was tired, too tired.
She remembered how he didn't come home when Himawari was sick when they were younger, he didn't come home, he was too busy with his Hokage job. But, when Karuto was sick, he immediately rushed to the apartment for his new wife and child.
Maybe he only come home more often because he had his office inside his house, so it would be convenient for him to work and how Hinata was a better cook compared to Sarada.
Hinata also questioned her sex life with him, it wasn't once that Naruto couldn't manage to make love to her, he always blamed it on how tired he was, at the same time she questioned whether he made love this his young wife or not. Maybe when it come to sex, he'd still prefer his youthful second wife. It hurt her every time she remembered that her husband made love to a bouncy youthful woman, everything she wasn't.
She questioned herself again.
Why did she stay with him? Was it because of love? Was it because she wanted to be a good parent for her children? Was it because it's embarrassing to have a divorce? Was it because she's afraid that her father would scold her if she's no longer a Hokage's wife? Was it because she didn't know what would she do if she's no longer Naruto's wife? Why?
"Mom," Himawari's voice surprised her. The kid looked really sad as well. "Why are you crying?" She's still wearing her genin uniform as she opened the door to enter the room.
She sat at the chair in front of the bed. "Mom, is it because of Daddy again?" Himawari asked, with her soft voice. Hinata immediately wiped her tears with the sleeve of her outfit, trying to hide her feelings, pretending that nothing had happened. "It's okay, Himawari, you have nothing to worry about," Hinata tried to reassure her daughter.
"It must be because of Dad," Boruto suddenly showed up. He was getting even better in his swift steps. "Let me guess ... he won't show up for Himawari's birthday again, right?" Boruto sighed. Himawari had expected that, the girl grew up. The young girl was sad but she could only sigh.
"How was your mission, Boruto?" Hinata tried to divert the conversation, she didn't want Boruto and Himawari worried about her and their dad. Boruto's gaze softened, he pitied his mother. He pitied how she always clang to the idea of her husband being a good man or perhaps that he could still go back to the good man, like he was. But, the man changed. The man cheated on her with a younger woman, they had a child together and he married her. Boruto understood that his father changed and perhaps he would never go back to who he was. But, his mother didn't and it pained him to see her being so sad yet so hopeful.
Should he continue with his plan to separate Sarada and his father?
He wasn't caught but he knew that things were getting better between his father and his mother but turns out he still prioritized Karuto and Sarada over them. He couldn't let it happen.
Boruto thought.
