More fun!

Hinata quietly entered Naruto's apartment, still blushing up a storm. That Naruto trusted her so quickly, so fully... Well. It wasn't quite what she had wanted, but becoming his friend like this was still wonderful. She was useful to him, and he was so compassionate and kind to take in an orphan baby.

"Naruto-kun?" She called out softly. She heard a soft snore, and, face still red, she headed up to Naruto's bedroom.

He was sleeping, sprawled out on his bed, and baby Kasumi was snoozing on his chest. He had one strong arm around the little baby, as she slept peacefully atop him.

It was so adorable, Hinata had to strongly resist the urge to squee.

So cute! She thought. She set her bags of groceries down by the door, and hesitantly approached.

"Ano... Naruto-kun?" She said softly. Naruto snored quietly, and Kasumi whined softly in her sleep. Hinata stepped in closer.

"N-Naruto-kun...?" She murmured, a tiny bit more loudly. She was within a meter of the blond young man and his daughter. Still he slept on.

She got close enough to reach out and touch him. She hesitated, fretting several times... Before she took a deep breath, and slowly extended her hand to his shoulder.

"Naruto-kun-EEP!"

Naruto's other arm lashed out like a snake, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her into the bed against him.

"Mmm... Cuddles," he mumbled sleepily. Kasumi babbled a bit, and snuggled against Hinata and Naruto.

Hinata, upon realizing her position... Promptly passed out. But she was wearing a smile on her brightly blushing face.

Kakashi peeked into his most unpredictable student's apartment. While it was the weekend and he was on break, Naruto did have a baby and that was something he should probably check into.

Kakashi tilted his head as he perched on the windowsill. Naruto was sleeping... With a passed out Hinata pulled tightly against him. And Kasumi was wriggling her way off her parent, trying to get to the floor.

She slipped, fell... And Kakashi caught her with ease. She looked up and smiled a big, toothless grin up at him.

"Kaa!" She babbled.

Kakashi sighed.

"How about I take care of you, and let your mama and papa rest?" He whispered. Kasumi waved her arms about, still smiling happily.

"Bababa... Dada!" She cried, her eyes on Naruto.

"I'll take that as a yes," Kakashi said dryly. He tucked the baby girl in his arms, made for the kitchen...

But not before he held up a camera, and snapped a photo of the scene.

His adorable genin deserved to have this recorded for posterity... And he deserved some laughs.

Now some more omakes of Kasumi Uzumaki when she's older!

Because fuck the Otsutsuki.

Kasumi: "You are within range of my divination! Two Palms! Four Palms! Eight Palms! Sixteen Palms! Thirty Two Palms! Sixty Four Palms!"

Otsutsuki: "What the-Foolish girl! You didn't hit a single one of my teketsu points!"

Kasumi: "Haa... Haa... True! I can't actually use the Gentle Fist. I was just setting up for this. FLYING THUNDER GOD-MAXIMUM DISPERSAL!"

The Otsutsuki screams as over a hundred mini seals light up all over his body... And he vanishes in a burst of light.

Naruto: "What was that?"

Kasumi: "Well, Grandpa Minato had a big notebook that was basically 'Everything NOT to do with the Hiraishin', and one of them was to NOT try to teleport something with more than one seal on it... Otherwise it would be split into two parts."

Naruto: "And you teleported that guy with over a hundred seals on him."

Kasumi: "Yup."

Naruto: "So he's in over a hundred parts... Randomly scattered everywhere?"

Kasumi: "Pretty much, yeah."

Naruto: "... You know, if he's still alive, he is going to be pissed."

Kasumi: Grins "Yep!"

Naruto: grins back "That's my girl."

And an omake by Wheeness

The three Genin of Team 7 lie exhausted on the grass after another day of hard training.

Kakashi: "Alright, you three. Good job, today. Tomorrow, we'll be doing d-ranks to give you all a breather. So enjoy the rest of your evening." he disappears in a swirl of leaves

Sakura: sighs "Never thought I'd say this, but I almost prefer it when he barely taught us anything."

Naruto and Sasuke both let out tired groans of agreement.

Sakura: sniffs under her arm and cringes, stumbling to her feet "Ugh, I smell gross. Sasuke-kun, Naruto, I'll see you both tomorrow. I really need to shower right now!"

Naruto: sits up "Oh wait! Sakura-chan, don't leave yet! I've got something important to ask you and Sasuke!"

Sakura: "Eh?"

Sasuke: sits up "What? Don't tell me it's another dumb plan to try and figure out what's under Kakashi-sensei's mask."

Naruto: scowls "Oi, I just said it was important didn't I?! So I've been thinking…"

Sasuke: deadpan "Shocker…"

Naruto: growls "I'M BEING SERIOUS, YOU JERK!"

Sasuke: shocked, but nods, saying nothing else

Naruto: "Anyways, I was thinking about… stuff. Like how Sasuke's brother and that freaky shark guy went after me."

Sasuke: his fists clench and his face hardens, but is silent

Naruto: "If it hadn't been for Ero-Sennin, Super Bushy Brows-sensei and you… I'd have been totally done for. Kasumi would have been an orphan again, and I can't let that happen." he takes a deep breath "So uh, I was wondering if the two of you would be Kasumi's godparents? In case anything happens to me. So she'd still have people looking out for her, Y'know?" the seriousness is momentarily replaced with his usual bravado. "N-Not that anything will happen of course! I'm still gonna be Hokage after all! I can't do that if I'm dead! But… just in case, y'know?"

Sakura: eyes widened "Naruto…"

Sasuke: is silent for several moment, then speaks "Wouldn't Hinata have been a more fitting pick?"

Naruto: "Well, duh. I asked her yesterday! But apparently it's traditional for girls to have two godmothers and one godfather. The only other people I could think of were you two. Hinata's awesome, and her dad is pretty cool too even though he can be a stick in the mud, but most of the others don't seem to like me. So I don't think staying with them would work out best for her if anything happened."

Sakura: "Wow, I-I don't know what to say."

Naruto: "You don't have to say yes if you don't think you can do it! But my only other kinda options were Obaa-chan, and Ero-Sennin or Kakashi-sensei…"

The three of them shudder in unison at the thought of any of those three raising a child.

Sakura: "I completely understand."

Sasuke: "I…" he's struggling to put it into words "I'm going to avenge my clan. I can't afford to be weighed down by a kid."

Naruto: rolls his eyes "Well it's not like you'd be alone if that happened. That's why I asked Sakura-chan and Hinata too! Plus, after you kill your brother, you're still going to have to bring back the Uchiha Clan! Think of it as practice." He pauses "I know family matters a lot to you, Sasuke. That's why I asked."
