Author Note: I have no idea how a five year old talk but I'm doing my best.
I can't believe it. Inspiration on this one hit me when I was in school and
had a math lesson. It was going slow and I was bored because I needed help
and it just hit me. I wrote it down on paper as fast as I could and I just
loved it. To quote Inner Sakura: Hell yeah.
This chapter also contains the technical explanation about Satoshi's birth. I got a review in the first chapter asking on how they were able to have Satoshi, it was clear that Kyuubi had a big part in it as always but it got me to think a little more about the how-reason and this is what I came up with. I'm like on something that make's me obsessed with Satoshi.
Also I'm going to spice things up in this one, I'm not going to say anything else so if you want to know just read it. ^_^
What you left me
By Monkan
Chapter 4
The streets were crowded with people. Children were running from stall to stall to see what was there. Laughter drowned every place as everyone had a good time. Even Sasuke had found that he had a fun with Satoshi.
He laughed, watched with amusement and pride as Satoshi tried out different kind of activities and games. The boy had been in totally awn to what a real festival meant. They met their friends and followed with them for a while, they didn't have anything better to do. They soon meet Neji and Hinata with their daughter.
As they all walked down the street, Satoshi holding Sasuke's hand, they looked for some place to eat. Sasuke was stopped by Hinata as she saw someone she wanted Sasuke to talk to. Hinata was looking for supporters in a job and if she could get Sasuke to put in a good word for her then she had better chances in succeeding.
"Satoshi, go ahead with your friends. I will right behind you." Sasuke let go of Satoshi's hand.
"Ok, dad." Satoshi ran along with his friends to look at something that was higher up the street. One of the kids was further ahead and Satoshi ran even faster to catch up. Easily avoiding bumping into someone along the way.
The adult that saw him knew that when people said Sasuke's kid was a genius they didn't lie. Satoshi easily learned things he was challenged with and he didn't complain or anything. He just kept on smiling at the world around him. No one knew if Satoshi would have the sharingan eye when he got older or not but it was in his blood even if he didn't awoke the eye. Satoshi passed the ramen shop and stopped for a moment to say hi to the old owner. The old man was delighted in seeing Satoshi asked if was going to eat at him today. Satoshi shock his head before hearing the others yelling after him to hurry up. He said a hasty good bye before continuing running to catch up with his friends.
Satoshi didn't get far as a clearly drunken man came out of a bar and Satoshi ran right into him. Both Satoshi and the man fell to the ground at the impact.
" 'Ey, whasch where ya goin' schrimp." The man blurred out. His companions came out after him and began to laugh at their floored friend. They all wore the head band of the Hidden Mist.
The man got help from the closest one to stand shakily on his feet. Both leaned heavily on each other. "Did ya get knocked down by some little kid?" The others asked under the laughter.
"Shimatta. Of cous' not. Thisch little schrimp ran into me on purpoush."
Satoshi watched the pack of drunken men as they said a few ugly and joking words to each other. Satoshi's friends had come back when they saw the men and was now standing behind him. Never had they seen someone so drunk before.
The one that was the most sober looked at Satoshi for a long time before it clicked in his mind where he had seen the kid before. "Hey, ischn't ya the kitsune's kid?" He asked his friends.
Some of the people around froze as they heard that.
"Yeah, I remember now. It'sh hard not to shee the reschembling between them."
"The shame damn eyesh and hair. I never liked him wery musch." The first one said. "Good thing he'sh dead anyway. I don't get it how shomeone could love that demon."
"Yeah, you must be really dumb to love a monshter like that." Another one said.
Satoshi felt tears in his eyes. They where talking about his parents. Satoshi had heard something similar on his way home a few weeks ago, he asked his dad about it. Even if he didn't get much out of his dad on the subject he grasped that his dad had loved his "mommy" very much.
It hurt Satoshi to hear these mean men talk bad about his parents. "My parents loved each other." He said as tears ran down his cheeks. He was shaking with the anger he for the first time in his life felt toward another person. "You don't know anything 'bout them to talk bad 'bout them." Satoshi stood up easily but the tears just kept on coming. Some of the people that had stopped with what they were doing felt their heart break a little; it was the first time they had ever seen Satoshi cry.
"Mou, the shrimp talk like he know thingsh."
"I would rather...*hic* ...die then 'ave a demon in the family."
"Yeah, whatta dishgrashe."
"Stop it." Satoshi yelled at them. He ran forward and pushed one of the men, making him mad. Satoshi saw the man raise his hand to hit him and fell back down as he stumbled over his own feet in order to get away. Satoshi's friends yelled at him to get away and one of them tried to get closer only to be held back by the man's comrades.
"Thish teach ya a lesschon." Another hand grabbed the drunken man's wrist and held it in a steal grip. All of them looked at the stranger that had interfered. He had a long dark colure coat with a wide hat on his head (AN: Have you seen Get Backers so are the hat similar to Dr. Jackals) and he wore the head band with the Mist symbol on his arm.
"I don't just stand back to let someone hit a helpless kid." He simply said as he grabbed the man's arm and threw him over his shoulder. The man crashed into his friends. The stranger bends down to help Satoshi up. He dusted the kid's cloths of in the process. He smiled at Satoshi. "Your parents have raised you well to stand up even against some baka's like them."
He gave Satoshi's shoulder a squeeze before he left them. Satoshi looked after him until he was out of sight. He then felt another hand on his shoulder and turned to see his daddy kneeling down behind him. He didn't waste any time then. Satoshi throw himself into Sasuke's arms and cried against Sasuke's chest.
"Those men talked bad 'bout you and mom. They talked bad. I just wanted them to stop."
Sasuke felt tears in his eyes at the sight of his distraught son. Just once did he leave Satoshi out of sight and this had to happen. "It's alright now. I'm here. I'll make them stop." He stroke Satoshi's hair and back in a smoothing gesture. The fragile body was shaking with the big sobs that ripped through the little boy. Sasuke closed his eyes as he just held Satoshi close, resting his head on the top of Satoshi's. Sasuke had a hard time finding his voice again. "I won't let anything happen to you again." That was all he could get out. A noise behind him made his attention turn to something else then his son.
He saw the men had started to get up again and when they had seen Sasuke their fear had made one of them run away. Neji made sure he didn't get far. Sasuke felt like someone had ignited his blood with fire. It was burning in his veins. He knew he was losing control but at the moment he didn't care.
He let go of Satoshi and turned to the men. He walked over to them and before the one Satoshi could react he was pushed back down on the ground with a very angry Uchiha standing over him. The look in Sasuke's eyes told him that he was in big trouble and that made him scared. *This guy is crazy.* was all he could think.
"If I were to let you go could you promise me that I never will see you again?" Sasuke asked in a cold voice that made some of the others shiver.
All the man did was nod hasty and felt that Sasuke moved away from him. The man sat up and pulled out a shuriken out of his pocket.
"Watch out." Neji yelled as he stood with Satoshi secured at his arm. Some of the people around gasped.
The man threw the shuriken after Sasuke. For just a moment Sasuke just stood still where he was before turning around, catching the shuriken and throw it back much faster and harder. It hit the man's shoulder. He cried out in pain. When he noticed the dark shadow over him he looked up to see Sasuke standing over him again only this time his fully mastered sharingan was flaming in his eyes.
"I almost knew the word from a man of the Hidden Mist couldn't be trusted." Sasuke's voice was filled with venom as he walked even closer to the man that tried to crawl further away.
Suddenly a pair of arms held his leg. "Don't hurt him daddy."
Sasuke froze in place. *Satoshi.*
Every one looked at the little blonde boy that held onto his dad's leg while he looked up with big tear filled eyes. "Onegai (Please) don't hurt him, daddy." The voice wasn't louder then a whisper but it cut through the silence on the street like a knife.
Sasuke felt his own eyes slowly look down at Satoshi. Sasuke didn't do anything as his son held onto him more tightly. *What am I doing?* He thought. Sasuke looked back at the man on the ground as he had crawled as far as he could with a fear stricken face. *I am breaking a promise.*
Sasuke felt the sharingan disappear from his eyes to be replaced by his normal eye colour.
Satoshi whispered. "Onegai..."
That was all Sasuke could take. He fell to hi knees and wrapped his arms tightly around Satoshi. Holding the little boy as close as possible. He rested his head against Satoshi's, closed his eyes as he felt tears of his own fill them. "I'm sorry." Sasuke whispered to Satoshi.
*********
Meanwhile through a glass orb the event was observed by five people in almost the same cloths. The only difference between them was the colour and the symbols. The young looking woman that sat in the main chair had her hand folded under her chin. The other's sat in a circle around her; all watched the scene in the glass bubble. Three of them were men and two was women.
"So that's Uchiha Satoshi!" Kazekage said.
Tsunade nodded. "Hai." She continues to just look at the small family in front of her.
"You weren't lying what you said about that the boy. Even if that man talked badly about his parents and would hurt him, he still didn't want that man to get hurt. And he's almost six years."
"I know. He's so much like Naruto that it scares me sometimes." Tsunade said as she watched Sasuke and Satoshi leave the scene. Tsunade made sure that the orb followed them.
"I've been wondering for sometime now Tsunade-sama. It's been five years since the vessel for Kyuubi died." Raikage said. The man failed to notice how Tsunade flinched at the use of description for Naruto. "If he had still lived, do you think he could have made his dream come true, to become the 6th Hokage I mean?" The other three Kages saw Tsunade's eyes take on a downward shine.
She sighed. "Hai, I'm sure of it. Naruto had it in him to become a future Hokage of Hidden Leaf." Tsunade leaned back in her chair. "If I may ask? Why this sudden interest in Naruto? You didn't ask much when he died."
Raikage looked around for a moment buying some more time. "The question just came up in my head." The man swallowed.
"Tsunade, if I may ask?" The other female kage in the room said. "It is a little strange to me that Naruto..." She paused for a moment seeking the word. She had been careful to use his given name. "It's a fact that males can't have children. As far as I'm concerned it's impossible. Since I'm new at the post as a kage I don't know everything about Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke I wonder if you could tell me."
Tsunade looked at the much younger woman in front of her. She looked at the faces of the others and saw that even if they tried to hide it they too wanted to know.
"All right, you all know that Naruto was the container of Kyuubi?" All of them nodded. "What most of the people in Hidden Leaf failed to see in Naruto was that he wasn't the demon. When he and Uchiha Sasuke started to date both was happier then I ever had seen them. Nothing could come between them. It is true that when you find someone you love you'll do anything for them. That's what Naruto did." Tsunade looked in the younger woman's face and sighed. "He knew that because of him they would probably never be allowed to adopt a child. He came to me and asked for help. If I could find any way, and I he meant any way for them to have a child. I promised him I would look into it and I did, I looked at every area I could think of. In the end I found something that looked promising but it was dangerous. It was a forbidden Jutsu that are used to collect and contain a spirit or demon. If just changed a little it could be used to collect special parts of the object. Now we all know that Kyuubi's body is long dead but to be sealed in a host it creates an illusion body of itself with it own chakra. There for it had something like a real body. Kyuubi were male too but we are talking about a demon now. Even if Kyuubi were male he still had enormous amount of hormones and chemicals that are female. The male hormones were just more domain in his body and that made Kyuubi male."
Tsunade took a sip of the water she had on the table. "The jutsu would collect those female chemicals and hormones. That is the basic idea of the option I got up with. With the jutsu we could place those parts where in a normal female body would have them. The jutsu helped to keep them alive and in place if you like, so they didn't spread out into every part of the body. In short terms, we would able to create the chemical system for a pregnancy in a male body. I told them of my findings and also of the risk that would come with it. The hormones were after all from a demon and much more "aggressive" you could say. There was no way to counter it if they got out of hands. In short the one doing it could die if something went wrong."
Tsunade looked up into the face of the shocked Kages. "I send them home to think of it. I found them at my office two day later. Naruto said that he would do it since his body was used to the power of Kyuubi and could easily heal if something went wrong. The first few weeks I had Naruto under watch so if something happen I wouldn't be far away. Like I thought it took a tool on his body and I almost immediately had him off active duty. Ordering him to take it easy and if I found out he did something he shouldn't I would make his life more miserable, after Sasuke were done with him of course. His body was stressed because of the burden put on it but Naruto didn't complain much over it. He was just happy, always smiling. Later we would let him out more when it became more stabile."
Tsunade stopped again, looking like she was remembering something from that time.
"As I understand it he died after... giving birth to Satoshi?" Kazekage said. Tsunade nodded.
"That is the reason why Sasuke almost lost control just now. Naruto was killed just an hour after it was over. He was sleeping with Sasuke sitting with Satoshi in his arms beside him. A shinobi with the mist head band came out of nowhere and did some kind of ninjutsu, he killed Naruto with Sasuke watching. Sasuke have never been able to forgive Hidden Mist after that. He still haven't, he has just shut down those feelings for the moment."
"How cruel." The female kage said. She could fell her throat closing up with sadness. "What happen to the shinobi? Did you find out his motive?" Again Tsunade shocked her head.
"Iie, he didn't say anything. He took his own life before we could investigate more."
The room was silent. No one said anything. What could be said? In the orb Sasuke and Satoshi was sitting on a bench in the park. Sasuke was drying Satoshi's tears away.
All of them just sat there and watched them. "That kid really loved that Uchiha." The female kage said. "To do something like that, I mean even with the risk in it. Only someone that loves so deeply would be brave enough to do what he did."
Tsunade looked up her comrade again smiling lightly. "They both loved each other from the bottom of their hearts. They would do anything for each other. No one can deny that any more."
~^~in the park~^~
Sasuke and Satoshi was now sitting on a bench. Sasuke was sitting with his leg on the bench with Satoshi in his lap. He was resting his head on top of Satoshi's with his arms around Satoshi's waist. The little boy was resting against Sasuke's chest. It felt so peacefully. *So much different then just a few minutes earlier.*
Sasuke just wanted to get away from everyone for a moment with Satoshi. How fast everything turned around. He had had e good time with Satoshi and their friends before those men ruined everything. *Is it to much to ask for just one day without trouble.*
"Daddy, what did that man mean with kitsune's kid?"
Sasuke froze over. "What did they say to you?" His voice was calm.
Satoshi started to fiddle with Sasuke's shirt. "They asked if I was kitsune's kid and then..." Satoshi swallowed. "...they sad bad things." Satoshi looked up. "What did they mean?"
Sasuke let out a deep breath. "What they meant by kitsune's kid is your mom. You wouldn't understand much now of it. I'll tell you when you are older."
"But I want to know now. I wane know 'bout mommy." Satoshi said.
Sasuke sighed again. Everything was against him. "All right, you remember the grave we visited a few days ago, the one for Naruto?" Satoshi nodded. "That's you mom. What those men meant by kitsune is that Naruto had a demon soul locked inside of him. No one liked that demon very much and let their anger go out on Naruto because they couldn't harm the kitsune directly. Unlike me and a few others they didn't see that Naruto wasn't the kitsune. It's from Naruto that you got your blond hair and blue eyes. That's why they called you kitsune's kid, because you look so much like Naruto."
"You said you loved him, didn't you daddy?" Satoshi wanted to know as much as possible.
Sasuke smiled at that. Satoshi sure had a good memory. "Hai, as much as I love you. It still hurt here," Sasuke put his hand over his heart. "That he died but he left me you for me to take care of. Also I know even for the short time he saw you before he died he loved you as much as I do right now."
Satoshi didn't understand everything but at what he did he smile. It sounded like a fairy tale in his ears.
"How did he look like?"
Sasuke thought for a moment before reaching into one of his pockets and retrieving a photo. He held it up for Satoshi. "This was taken of me and Naruto about two years before you were born."
Satoshi studied the photo closely. "That's him daddy." Satoshi exclaimed suddenly.
"Who?" Sasuke asked.
Satoshi looked up at his dad. "The man that helped me before you came."
Tbc...
Author Note: So what do you think? It got longer then I thought from the beginning but that's a normal phenomenon. I write this story as I go along with my other stories. There for it can take time sometime but I'm constantly working on this one. Like I'm not doing the same on the other two too. -_-' Since it's almost time for the final race in school until summer it will be more hared then it all ready is.
I just love the cliff-hanger I've created in this chapter. Even I didn't know I could be so evil. What can I say, I'm learning. XD
The hard part in this one was to not make Satoshi sound so grown up but I think I sometimes failed and the drunk men was also hard 'cause I'm no expert on how drunken men sounds like. Sure I've met some drunks before but they were all Swedish. Not much help there.
But seriously, leave a note for me on how you like it and if there is something you don't get. Until the next time. See ya...
This chapter also contains the technical explanation about Satoshi's birth. I got a review in the first chapter asking on how they were able to have Satoshi, it was clear that Kyuubi had a big part in it as always but it got me to think a little more about the how-reason and this is what I came up with. I'm like on something that make's me obsessed with Satoshi.
Also I'm going to spice things up in this one, I'm not going to say anything else so if you want to know just read it. ^_^

With the jutsu we could place those parts where in a normal female body would have them. The jutsu helped to keep them alive and in place if you like, so they didn't spread out into every part of the body. In short terms, we would able to create the chemical system for a pregnancy in a male body. I told them of my findings and also of the risk that would come with it. The hormones were after all from a demon and much more "aggressive" you could say. There was no way to counter it if they got out of hands. In short the one doing it could die if something went wrong."
Tsunade looked up into the face of the shocked Kages. "I send them home to think of it. I found them at my office two day later. Naruto said that he would do it since his body was used to the power of Kyuubi and could easily heal if something went wrong. The first few weeks I had Naruto under watch so if something happen I wouldn't be far away. Like I thought it took a tool on his body and I almost immediately had him off active duty. Ordering him to take it easy and if I found out he did something he shouldn't I would make his life more miserable, after Sasuke were done with him of course. His body was stressed because of the burden put on it but Naruto didn't complain much over it. He was just happy, always smiling. Later we would let him out more when it became more stabile."
Tsunade stopped again, looking like she was remembering something from that time.
"As I understand it he died after... giving birth to Satoshi?" Kazekage said. Tsunade nodded.
"That is the reason why Sasuke almost lost control just now. Naruto was killed just an hour after it was over. He was sleeping with Sasuke sitting with Satoshi in his arms beside him. A shinobi with the mist head band came out of nowhere and did some kind of ninjutsu, he killed Naruto with Sasuke watching. Sasuke have never been able to forgive Hidden Mist after that. He still haven't, he has just shut down those feelings for the moment."
"How cruel." The female kage said. She could fell her throat closing up with sadness. "What happen to the shinobi? Did you find out his motive?" Again Tsunade shocked her head.
"Iie, he didn't say anything. He took his own life before we could investigate more."
The room was silent. No one said anything. What could be said? In the orb Sasuke and Satoshi was sitting on a bench in the park. Sasuke was drying Satoshi's tears away.
All of them just sat there and watched them. "That kid really loved that Uchiha." The female kage said. "To do something like that, I mean even with the risk in it. Only someone that loves so deeply would be brave enough to do what he did."
Tsunade looked up her comrade again smiling lightly. "They both loved each other from the bottom of their hearts. They would do anything for each other. No one can deny that any more."
~^~in the park~^~
Sasuke and Satoshi was now sitting on a bench. Sasuke was sitting with his leg on the bench with Satoshi in his lap. He was resting his head on top of Satoshi's with his arms around Satoshi's waist. The little boy was resting against Sasuke's chest. It felt so peacefully. *So much different then just a few minutes earlier.*
Sasuke just wanted to get away from everyone for a moment with Satoshi. How fast everything turned around. He had had e good time with Satoshi and their friends before those men ruined everything. *Is it to much to ask for just one day without trouble.*
"Daddy, what did that man mean with kitsune's kid?"
Sasuke froze over. "What did they say to you?" His voice was calm.
Satoshi started to fiddle with Sasuke's shirt. "They asked if I was kitsune's kid and then..." Satoshi swallowed. "...they sad bad things." Satoshi looked up. "What did they mean?"
Sasuke let out a deep breath. "What they meant by kitsune's kid is your mom. You wouldn't understand much now of it. I'll tell you when you are older."
"But I want to know now. I wane know 'bout mommy." Satoshi said.
Sasuke sighed again. Everything was against him. "All right, you remember the grave we visited a few days ago, the one for Naruto?" Satoshi nodded. "That's you mom. What those men meant by kitsune is that Naruto had a demon soul locked inside of him. No one liked that demon very much and let their anger go out on Naruto because they couldn't harm the kitsune directly. Unlike me and a few others they didn't see that Naruto wasn't the kitsune. It's from Naruto that you got your blond hair and blue eyes. That's why they called you kitsune's kid, because you look so much like Naruto."
"You said you loved him, didn't you daddy?" Satoshi wanted to know as much as possible.
Sasuke smiled at that. Satoshi sure had a good memory. "Hai, as much as I love you. It still hurt here," Sasuke put his hand over his heart. "That he died but he left me you for me to take care of. Also I know even for the short time he saw you before he died he loved you as much as I do right now."
Satoshi didn't understand everything but at what he did he smile. It sounded like a fairy tale in his ears.
"How did he look like?"
Sasuke thought for a moment before reaching into one of his pockets and retrieving a photo. He held it up for Satoshi. "This was taken of me and Naruto about two years before you were born."
Satoshi studied the photo closely. "That's him daddy." Satoshi exclaimed suddenly.
"Who?" Sasuke asked.
Satoshi looked up at his dad. "The man that helped me before you came."
Tbc...
Author Note: So what do you think? It got longer then I thought from the beginning but that's a normal phenomenon. I write this story as I go along with my other stories. There for it can take time sometime but I'm constantly working on this one. Like I'm not doing the same on the other two too. -_-' Since it's almost time for the final race in school until summer it will be more hared then it all ready is.
I just love the cliff-hanger I've created in this chapter. Even I didn't know I could be so evil. What can I say, I'm learning. XD
The hard part in this one was to not make Satoshi sound so grown up but I think I sometimes failed and the drunk men was also hard 'cause I'm no expert on how drunken men sounds like. Sure I've met some drunks before but they were all Swedish. Not much help there.
But seriously, leave a note for me on how you like it and if there is something you don't get. Until the next time. See ya...
