To start off thanks for 10kviews in just a week, the support has been great. So guys the way I have this story outlined it could honestly go either way, Good Sasuke or bad Sasuke? I was originally planning on having Sasuke redeeming himself and coming back to the village eventually but I kinda hate the guy. He just royally pisses me off, so if you guys want bad sasuke I could write that out. Leave a review on your opinion. I won't blindly follow whatever is most popular but I would like to hear what you guys.

Sasuke:

Good

Or

Bad

Now onto the story

"Sorry Izumi it seems I didn't hear you correctly, would you mind repeating yourself?"

"Naruto I'm pregnant. We don't use condoms, I was never in kunoichi classes in the academy or ANBU so I never learned any anti-pregnancy jutsu. It seems that you pulled out a little late once or twice and boom, here we are."

"Izumi-Hime I'm going to be completely honest here, I want you to keep the baby. I love you wholeheartedly and this was going to happen later on down the line. It's your body and ultimately your choice whether or not we abort but if you're impartial I would want us to start a family."

Tearing up Izumi raced across the hallway and into her boyfriends waiting arms. Pushing her face against her boyfriends chest she couldn't help but let out a few sniffles.

"I was so worried you would be upset with me. I know you love me but I was just so scared. But Naruto-Kun what are we going to do? You're not even sixteen years old and you're about to be a father. I'm stuck in an organization that's main goal is hunting and killing you. I can't just disappear from Akatsuki. Madara and Pain already have doubts about Itachi's loyalty, If I don't connect with the rest of the members for the mandatory yearly check in Zetsu and Madara will set out to find me. I don't doubt Madara has told Zetsu about my true identity and if they're both actively searching they will find us. What do we do Naruto-Kun, help me."

Instead of answering right away and forcing the both of them to a hasty decision, Naruto took ample time and effort to comfort his sobbing girlfriend. Just holding her in his arms, kissing her behind her ears. He whispered sweet, soft words of comfort and platitudes, telling her it will all be alright, because they were together. He rubbed her back, slow, smooth circles that reminded her of how her mother had comforted her when she was young and how Mikoto had always made everything feel like it was going to be okay.

" Shh, Izumi-Hime everything is going to be alright. We have time to make a decision, nothing has to be rushed. Itachi is supposed to meet them in three months, and you would need to meet with Kisame two weeks before that right? That means all of our preparations need to be done in two months, we have time to make a plan. I could contact Jiraiya and he could get us to one of his many hidden safe houses, or we could call your handler in Konoha, who was that?"

With a small sniff Izumi almost got herself fully composed for the serious conversation. The only sign that she wasn't the pinnacle of bravery she portrayed herself as was a hint in her tone. It was almost questioning, as if she wasn't confident in her abilities to protect herself and Naruto, not to mention the upcoming member of their little family.

"My handlers were supposedly Sandaime-Sama himself and Danzo. That being said I have never once received confirmation that my knowledge was being received. Every six months I left my information parcel in one of the five outlets given to me but I wasn't given a response like I was promised. No internal changes in Konoha were taken like I had prescribed they should be. It almost seems like they never received my hard work but I know that is not the case. I've seen some of Danzo's ROOT pickup my parcels and sent a raven to follow him back to Danzo. The raven saw Danzo carefully read the parcel and then burn it. I wouldn't put it past the cripple to manipulate Sandaime-Sama into beleiving I truly went rogue, he always was conniving."

"Interesting, that does make sense considering Jiraiya never showed any signs in believing you were on Konoha's side. I could contact him and have hi set something up for somewhere for us to hide. From what you have told me about both Zetsu and Madara's abilities that wouldn't stop them for long but it could give us time to plan a better move. Worst case I could ask Gamakichi to either go to Shikkotsu Forest to get in contact with Lady Katsuya or even Konoha and Tsunade-Baachan. I'm sure I could convince her about both your true identity and motives. She would be forced to tell the council but I can blackmail them into silence about who you are."

"You would direct the wrath of the whole Council of Konoha to yourself just to avoid people questioning me? Why, that's just unneeded?"

"Izumi-Hime, after the misadventure during the Chunin Exams with Gaara the Shinobi side has gotten over their hatred of me. The civilians and the Elders won't change unless something even more drastic happens. I can just get them to reignite their hatred of me, you would be just an afterthought if they thought their precious demon was turning treasonous. They would just think I convinced a naive girl to elope with me from a small backwater community. No one would bother questioning that if they were caught up in punishing their 'property.' I would do anything for you and our child Izumi-Hime, just say the word and I would act on your behalf. No matter how painful or vile, whatever you ask of me I would do, I love you just that much."

Being held in those big strong arms Izumi couldn't help but believe him. This amazing man loved her that much. The past nine months of her life had revolved around this man already, and it seemed he wanted to be the epicentre of it for the foreseeable future. Izumi saw no problems in that, if he wanted to she would let him, he had done a pretty good job so far. The next nine or so months of her life would already be consumed with growing his child inside of her, so why shouldn't she trust him with everything. It isn't like she hadn't ever given him her everything before.

"Izumi-Hime, since you're pregnant you can't protect me like you used to. I'm not saying you're weak all of a sudden but we need to think about our child. I refrained from mentioning because I know you didn't want me to worry but I know your vision is bad, according to Jiraiya, Kisame mentioned the damage when you and him were in Konoha before you and me met in that hotel. I've noticed your eyesight is close to gone but now it needs to be said. I need to be much stronger to adequately protect my new family. I tomorrow I will get Kichi to reverse summon me to Mount Myoboku and beg Fukusaku-Sama to teach me senjutsu early. He respects the need for strength in order to protect family, he himself has done just that for hundreds of years. It may take months but if I become a full sage like Jiraiya was never able I could protect both you and our child. Come, I'll take us to bed. It's been a very long and emotional day and we need rest for whatever the future has in store."

The next morning Naruto woke up earlier than his expecting girlfriend. He slowly rose out of bed as he didn't want to disturb her sleep, Kami knows she would need all the rest she could get. After making her some breakfast and leaving her a note explaining what he was doing he summoned his trusted friend Gamakichi and got him to summon himself back to his homeland. After a brief foray through the exotic foliage Naruto and Gamakichi found himself outside Fukusaku-Sama and Shima-Sama's door. Feeling extremely nervous about what he was going to ask of them he almost didn't knock. Over the time he had spent here with them learning the Toad's sacred art of battle he had a strong connection with the elders, affectionately calling them Ma and Pa respectively. Would they be disappointed in him, getting Izumi pregnant hadn't been planned but it was a responsibility that lay on his shoulders. The elder toads were very caring towards the young human and strangely he cared deeply about their opinion of him.

After knocking on the door he had to pause and catch his breath. He needed to be perfectly composed for the heavy favour he was going to ask of them. Being respectful had never truly been in his comfort zone but Izumi had tried to train him to show respect when the situation called for it. As the small toad answered the door Naruto tried to hold himself stiff, strong, and proud. How a prospective sage of the toads would hold themselves for the world to see.

"Ah Naruto-Chan, good to see you here, it's been a few months since you've come to visit. What are you doing here? Are you sick, you look you're about to shit yourself?"

"Umm, no Fukusaku-Sama. I'm not sick and sadly I haven't come here for pleasure. I need to ask a favour from you."

"Naruto-Chan what's with all this formal speak. Come in, come in. You know you're always welcome here so come and sit down. Ma had just made dragonfly mash so tell us what we can do for you as we eat."

Pa got himself, Naruto, and Gamakichi situated at their table as Ma set out food for them. After a few minutes of pleasantries and meaningless conversation Naruto prepared himself to ask the world of the old toad.

"Shima-Sama, Fukusaku-Sama. As I have told you and Gamakichi here I am dating a woman named Izumi. I must say thank you once again for not telling anyone, especially Jiraiya as we are trying to keep our relationship a secret for both of our safety. Recently we have come to find out that she has become pregnant. While we both do not regret that we are having a child together as we love each other thi does bring problems. As Jiraiya has told you an organization filled to the brim with exclusively S-class criminals after the Jinchuuriki of the world called Akatsuki has been formed and are after me. With Izumi becoming pregnant, my own level of strength is not sufficient to keep myself, Izumi, or our unborn child safe. I beg of you, Fukusaku-Sama, Shima-Sama. Please teach me senjutsu and allow me to be a sage of yours to protect my family."

Naruto bowed low to the ground by the end of the speech, forehead perpendicular to the wood grain floor of the hut. Ma and Palooked at the bent over Naruto, then back at each other. A non-verbal conversation occurred between the two regarding the situation in front of them. After almost four full minutes Fukusaku opened his mouth to speak.

"No."

Naruto's world collapsed around him in his despair.
