Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto.
Yo! Here's the third chapter! Enjoy!
Naruto shook his head. He couldn't believe what the demon fox
was trying to tell him.
(What? That's absurd! Tenten isn't pregnant! She, she can't be!)
Naruto sent back in disbelief.
(Oh yeah? Then what did you two do last night if not mating?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a female usually becomes pregnant
after a mating session, does she not?Face it kid! The female IS
carrying a cub, whether you're happy with it or not!) Kyuubi said.
Naruto stared wide-eyed at Tenten's stomach.
(S, so what you're saying is... That Tenten is pregnant, with
my child?) Naruto stuttered in his head.
Kyuubi mentally slapped himself with his clawed paw at the boy's
stupidity.
(Yes. The female is pregnant. The only reason she fainted, is
that the cub is beginning to demand more and more Chakra
from her.) Kyuubi exclaimed.
(B, but..! I have seen pregnant women before and, they didn't
look as drained as Tenten is now!) Naruto sent.
Kyuubi grumbled, but decided to answer.
(That's because they weren't carrying the cub of a stupid
teenager with a big and powerfull fox-demon in his stomach!
Now, listen! I am going to give you some valuable information!
In a week from now, the cub will be firmly attached to her
Chakra pathways. This means that after seven days from now,
abortion, as you humans call it, will be impossible.) Kyuubi said.
Naruto slowly digested every word. His brow furrowed in
confusion.
(What do you mean, Kyuubi?) Naruto wondered.
(Since I am sealed in your body, the cub will have certain
side-effects. The cub will, regretably, look completely like a
normal human. But the Chakra... Now THAT's a completely
different story! My Chakra is flowing in your body, whether
you like it or not! So naturally, a big part of it WILL be transferred
to the cub. I'm not sure how much, or what colour it is going to be,
but I AM sure that it WON'T grow any fangs, claws, or fur!
Regretably...) Kyuubi explained.
Naruto digested the information slowly. Then another thought struck
him.
(But Kyuubi, if the child demands this much Chakra from Tenten,
then won't that make the pregnancy really dangerous?) Naruto sent,
worry circling around his thoughts.
(The cub will drain a lot of her Chakra, that's for sure. But it won't
drain all of it. The female has too much Chakra in her for that to
happen. I... Look. The cub was conceived only a few short hours ago.
It has now started to grow. The cub just needed a chunk of her
Chakra to get itself started. That's all.) Kyuubi explained.
Naruto took some time to digest this information as well.
(So the Chakra drain will slow down on it's own now, right? She won't
get drained like this again, right? RIGHT?) Naruto sent worriedly.
The Kyuubi scratched it's chin with one of it's claws for a minute, fueling
the boy's growing agony and despair. The demon laughed.
Oh how he loved to torment the boy.
(Yes, the Chakra drain WILL slow down now. The cub is growing fast.
I can sense it. It's Chakra, allthough no more than the smallest thinkable
flicker, is growing more and more.) Kyuubi explained.
(But, but how-) Naruto was interrupted before he could finish.
(I don't know too much about these things, I am mostly guessing.
If you want to be certain, then go see that stupid Hokage of yours.
There's nothing wrong with the female or the cub. Now stop bothering
me boy, I'm tired.) Kyuubi stated irritadedly.
Naruto let out the breath he had been holding and relaxed slightly.
He wasn't completely calmed though. Naruto watched the gentle rise and fall
of Tenten's chest. His eyes were drawn down to her stomach. The blonde ninja
shakily put a hand on top of it. Tenten was pregnant. With his child. He was
the father. His next breath got stuck in his throat.
He was going to be a father. Him. Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto let out the breath he had been holding in his throat and swallowed
heavily. His thoughts were going a mile a minute.
(I... Can't believe it...! I'm... I'm going to be a father! I'm really going to be a
father! And Tenten is going to be a mother! It's, it's just... just...wow!)
Naruto thought.
He took in Tenten's face and frowned. Something was gnawing at his mind,
a bad feeling of some sort. He rose to his feet and started to gather up Tenten
into his arms.
"Come on, Tenten. I'm going to bring you to the hospital now. I know that
Kyuubi said that you were allright, but I don't really trust the bastard.
But don't worry, Tenten. I will definately protect you. Just like I promised."
Naruto wisphered.
Naruto froze as he remembered something. He gently putTenten down on
the bed again and spun around with a curse.
"Damnit! The thugs! I totally forgot about them!" Naruto exclaimed.
Naruto quickly dashed out into the living room and ran up to the thug
that Tenten had beaten. He roughly removed the weapons from his body.
The thug groaned weakly when Naruto pulled the weapons out, proving
that he was still very much alive. None of the weapons were buried even
halfway through his limbs, but the combined pain from all of the projectiles
digging into different parts of him at the same time had obviously been
enough for him to faint.
(Wuss.) Naruto thought with great dislike.
Naruto stood and zipped into the kitchen. He returned a few seconds later
with a first-aid kit. He tied a few bandages onto the bigger wounds while
ignoring the smaller ones. (He doesn't deserve this, but if I don't take care
of some of his wounds, then people will have all the more reason to believe
that I am Kyuubi and not just his host.) Naruto thought.
He finished what he was doing and made one last check to see that he was
breathing before going over to another thug.
He was still unconcious.
This wasn't that strange since it had only been about five to ten minutes since
his clones knocked him out. Naruto ran a quick check on his injuries and
concluded that he needed no bandages. He noticed, with personal joy, that
the thug had a lump on his head the size of Mount Everest. (Score one for
the Replications!) He thought.
Naruto checked on the last thug and came to the conclusion that he didn't
need any direct medical aid from him. The blonde grinned and raised his
foot for some additional revenge, but decided against it. He had hurt him enough.
There were already too many impotent guys running around in Konoha.
Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"Hmm... How am I supposed to sort this out? I need to take these guys to
the police. But I also need to hurry and take Tenten to the hospital! If I
take the thugs to the police first, then Tenten's condition might get worse.
And if I take Tenten to the hospital first, then the thugs might wake up and
either start trashing the appartment or chase after us. Aaah! What the hell
should I do?" Naruto pondered.
His hand stopped scratching and a light bulb went off inside his head.
"Wait! I know!" Naruto exclaimed and beat his fist into his hand.
Naruto bit his right thumb and made some quick hand seals. (I can't believe
I didn't think of this sooner!) He thought.
He slammed his right hand down on the floor and yelled:
"Summoning Technique!"
Black markings spread out from his palm across a small part of the floor
and a plume of ninja smoke erupted from it.
A pink frog the size of a motorcycle appeared. It croaked a greeting and
sat back while awaiting orders. It was wearing a blue vest with the mark
of Konoha on the back.
Naruto pulled out a scroll from his item pouch and conjured up a rope.
He used it to tie the three thugs onto the back of the frog. He made sure
that the rope was tight enough to prevent the thugs from falling off, and
light enough to make sure that the pink frog didn't suffocate.
Naruto then whipped up an empty scroll and hastily scribbled down a
short message on it. He put the scroll into the breast pocket in the frog's vest.
Naruto walked in front of the frog and pointed to the window.
"Alright, listen up! I want you to bring these low-lives to the police, got it?
Allright... GO!" Naruto declared and made a sweeping motion with his
hand.
The pink frog croaked and practically flew out the window as it made use
of it's powerfull legs.
Naruto hurried back to Tenten and made sure that she was breathing
okay before pulling her up into his arms. He secured his grip on her
and looked down at her worriedly.
"Don't worry Tenten! Whatever happens, I'll be there to protect you!"
Naruto declared.
Naruto opened the bedroom window and disappeared outside. He flew
across the rooftops as he hurried towards the Hokage Tower.
Tsunade was just putting away another pile of paperwork when the
door burst open. The Fifth Hokage looked up, slightly startled.
"Naruto! What's wrong?" Tsunade asked when she saw Tenten in
the blonde ninja's arms.
Naruto walked up to her desk and with a deep breath said:
"A lot."
... There's not much point in telling you how sorry I am, right? Thought so.
Anyway,like the other chapters, I took a look at this oneand saw that it was in need of some changes.
Nothing major at all. Just a few words here and there. Some of you might not even notice
the changes are even there.
Anyway, I have written a quick version of the fourth chapter, which I will turn into
a real chapter today.
Not much else to say, other than... See ya'll in the next chapter!
...please don't flame me.
