Alright, chapter 3 (with a surprise in depth look to a potential story concept-details are on the Discord)


Naruto sat in front of a picture of his beloved wife, a stick of incense, and a couple other small items one saw on a small shrine devoted to someone. He sat in the seiza with his eyes closed as he breathed steadily and harmoniously without interruption. Tsukiumi was near identical to his late wife it almost made him cry. Poor Yuuna was immediately attached to her, and needless to say he didn't know what to do, and so he decided to meditate and silently speak to his wife's picture-knowing he wouldn't receive a answer, but hoping one would come to him on what he should do.

~XxX-Earlier-XxX~

Matsu, Uzume and Miya all silently entered the master bedroom where Yuuna silently slept and surrounded the crib. Matsu smiled softly, "She almost reminds me of how Tsukiumi looked all those years ago when she was a infant on Kamikura." she whispered.

"She's gonna be a beautiful young woman when she matures." Miya agreed.

"I feel bad for any potential love interests, her father is likely to shoot them with a shotgun." Uzume smiled and nearly burst into laughter.

Matsu and Miya were almost inclined to agree. Naruto was a soldier, and a father... yea, let's not get into that one.

"So, what makes it so important to know that Naruto isn't ordinary?" Matsu asked softly.

"Here, give me your hand." Miya said and gently grasped her hand to Matsu's and extended a finger until it was about a inch away where Matsu gave a silent gasp and looked to Uzume and motioned for her to look.

Uzume shrugged and slowly reached out and much like Matsu, she paused as a small spark of energy jumped off her finger and made her give a quick jostle. She looked to Miya, "I-Is that?" she asked and Miya nodded, "B-But how?" she asked.

"Come with me so we can speak." she said leading them out of the room and back upstairs where Matsu resided.

XxX

The three women entered the room and closed the door, "So, can you explain to me why she seems to have a Tama, or a energy similar to it, and why she has as much power as Homura does?" Uzume asked.

"She's human, like her father, but I suspect that they are much like us." Miya said, "And much like us, we both know he won't reveal his past unless demanded." she sighed, "And I don't blame him for keeping his past a secret, who knows what could happen if he is found, I wouldn't want the possibilities to emerge."

Matsu and Uzume went silent, they hadn't taken that into account. Naruto only spoke of the pain he felt when he lost his wife, how his wife and now his daughter anchored him to the world of men. How he wanted to see her grow up happy and healthy, they didn't know what'd happen if someone found they had incredible power to their names.

However, they were brought out of their musings when they seen a image pop up on a monitor causing the group to stiffen, "We will continue this discussion later, right now we need to see why Naruto-san is rushing here with a Sekirei in his arms." Miya said as she and Uzume vacated the room. Running down the stairs as Naruto entered the house, Miya gained a look of concern when she saw Naruto carrying the unconscious Tsukiumi but no baby items, "Naruto-san, what happened, who is this?" she asked, she knew who it was, but she need not tell him that.

"I don't know, she was in some type of fight, I couldn't let her be kidnapped." he said, "Where do I put her?" he asked Miya.

"None of the other rooms have any sleeping mats, you'll need to put her in your room for the time being until she wakes up, I'll clean her wounds and such, you go out and get the baby supplies like you said you were. Don't worry, we'll be here when you get back." she said to him as she opened his door to allow him into the room where he sat the blond woman on his bed and pulled up the covers to her neck.

Naruto nodded to Miya as he stood up, "I'll try and be back soon, if she wakes, tell her what happened if she asks." he tells her as he leaves the premises. Naruto walks down the road with purpose. He knew names of powerful people, and Mikogami was one he knew very well. How may you ask, well that was simple; the man was once a weapons dealer before he was found to be doing human experimentation and was arrested on the charges, and sadly he was able to cheat the system when the children were proven to be orphans he had legally adopted-he didn't believe for a second it was the truth-and tried to see if he could use science to enhance their bodies.

Sadly one of the children were reported to have supposedly died, but he knew the truth, those two young women were alive and well, due to Naruto deploying with the Airborne Rangers in a covert mission to stop the inhumane experiments on the request of the Japanese government. Naruto took the distinct pleasure of being the one to personally put a bullet in between the mans eyes that night. The young children were spirited away and lost to the system once Japan had gotten the little girls back into safer hands, he also remembered the two women who picked them up as well. A woman who reminded him of his old friend Hinata, and a woman who resembled his Sensei, Kakashi.

He couldn't remember their names, but those uniforms, they were almost the same as that orange haired chicks from the other day.

Naruto waited til he was in a; somewhat empty alley-those thugs didn't know who they were messing with-before he jumped to the roof. He made quick speed to he location the more well off citizens lived and asked the location Mikogami and soon arrived at his door. Entering the door, he walked down the hall towards the location he sensed the chakra of the boy's life force. Breaking the door down with a kick he walked towards the stunned teen and man who drew his sword, "Who are you-wait I know you, you're that man who stopped me from getting my prize, the Single Digit water Sekirei!" Mikogami cried out.

"Yea, and I am here to tell you one thing kid." Naruto said as he stepped up to the boy.

"Nobody threatens Mikogami-sama and walks away untouched!" Mutsu growled.

"I'm not threatening him, I'm here to educate him. There's a difference." Naruto told Mutsu as he turned to the scarf wearing man, "And if you think that little butter knife you carry scares me, then I hope you have another stashed away, cuz if you want me to show you, I'll be glad to take that toy and ram it up your ass before ripping your head off your shoulders." Naruto said stunning the Sekirei, "See, that was a threat." he told Mutsu. Naruto then turned to Mikogami, "I'm only going to say this once boy, if you try kidnapping someone in this city again, I will show you the same treatment I showed your father the day I killed him for illegal human experimentation. Try me and I will be glad to put a bullet between your eye sockets, just like I did his." he said before turning to Mutsu, "See, that was me threatening him. Know the difference." he told him before he lashed out and smashed a fist into a young woman's face and then ducked under a swipe of Mutsu's sword and lashed a kick out into another girls face as he spun around.

Breaking through Mutsu's guard, he removed the sword from his hand with a swipe of his own and then channeled powerful Wind Chakra through the blade and pushed all of the chakra to the tip of the blade, "Earth Style: Grand Knocking" Naruto called out as he raised the sword up and plunged the wind enhanced sword into the earth causing a shockwave to blast out and knock the large group of Sekirei onto their asses as he pulsed a incredible amount of Earth Chakra through the blade to create a small scale earthquake in the middle of Mikogami's mansion that shattered a number of the stone columns and razed several walls down as the marble mansion shuddered in place.

Naruto turned to the horrified Mikogami, "This is your only warning kid, next time I won't rip a small portion of you home apart and knock your friends on their asses." he said as the shaking stopped as he walked out of the mansion, "Next time it'll be personal." he said as he walked away.

~XxX-M.B.I-XxX~

Minaka flipped through several papers and hummed to himself. He had been looking into Naruto's history, his past from his enlistment of the military, and he was a bit surprised. He hadn't realized there was more to Naruto's service as a soldier. Oh sure there was the fact he was deployed multiple times and his service record, but the men and troops he served with were more than that. He read files upon files from the men stationed with him and all them were tight as a group, a band of brothers, a band of heroes. Men who didn't care about social standing, racial belief's or blood feuds from bygone times.

A family, through the bonds they made.

So it made sense to ensure that one bond remained unbroken.

"Phoenix..." he muttered as he glanced at the photo. It was of a young Staff Sergeant Naruto Uzumaki from ten months ago with a full black German Sheppard puppy while in Afghanistan. It was labeled 'First Bath with Phoenix' and it showed Naruto in a large horse trough with the pup in his lap, a towel next to the tub, some rags, and a bottle of body wash. Naruto was sitting in the tub in a pair of shorts and nothing else as he hoisted the puppy into the air to show the camera as he grinned happily. Apparently, the pup had been found under a pile of rubble. It was mistaken as a human child crying, but when it was freed from the destruction, the pup was abandoned nearly until the young Sergeant stepped up and took the animal in.

And since then, it was with Naruto; be he at home or one deployment. The dog had lived with the platoon as a way to deal with both enemies and morale. Phoenix was a big part of the platoon's lives as they served in Afghanistan before Naruto came home on a day that changed his life forever. Sadly the dog was taken by another family which violated quite a few laws if he looked into them right as Naruto was the legal owner of the animal and was the original primary caretaker whenever he was deployed,and while the dog having been adopted by a surprisingly loving family it was still legally Naruto's animal. With news from Takami that Naruto wasn't to keen on having a cloned arm, he decided to take a different approach.

A mechanical arm, one still in the process of development.

While the arm was in the process of being made-both the flesh one and the mechanical one, he was doing a bit of legal work himself.

The dog was now under his care-not yet in Japan, but legally under his care as he hired several lawyers to point out the laws that the Military itself had broken in the dog's care and well being as Naruto had filed the paperwork to ensure that the dog was his by law.

XxX

Naruto walked out of the store with a box of Diapers and a bag of wipes in his arm. He had gotten the required items and was silently making his way back to the Inn to check up on his daughter. The store was literally three blocks away from the house, so the trip was quick and short. Entering the house he greeted Miya and Uzume as he sat the items down on the counter, "How's our guest?" he asked quietly.

"She's fine, and Yuuna is sleeping soundly." Uzume told him.

"Well, I got some things aside from the diapers and wipes. I figured while I was there I'd get those teething rings." he said pulling out a small blue ring. There were a couple others, but this was the one he pulled out.

"Well, you go head and put those in the freezer, I'm gonna go put the diapers and wipes in the room with Yuuna." Miya told him as she gathered the box.

Naruto nodded and went to do as she said leaving the two women to converse for a second, "Still gonna leave him alone about that secret of his?" Uzume asked her leader.

"Yes, Uzume, he'll tell us when he is ready." Miya responded softly.

XxX

Naruto sighed as he stood up, he wasn't able to come up with a answer.

He had missed the appointment with Takami when he had rescued the woman, he admitted it might have been due to him rushing out to threaten the boy with more money than he knew what to do with. However, he was drawn out of his musings when he heard the sound of feminine groans of his rescued visitor and turned to see Tsukiumi slowly sitting up, "Easy ma'am, you were hurt a few hours ago." he said picking up the damp rag that he had changed out on the table next to the bed.

Tsukiumi turned and saw the man looking at her, "Who art thou? Why and I here?" she asked as she placed a hand to her head.

"My name is Naruto, I was the one who saved you from that other group. I believe they wished to have their master either rape you or hold you hostage ma'am." he said. He wasn't going to delve into her past and not question what a Sekirei or even a Ashikabi was.

"I-I see... I thank thee." she said.

"You know, you have a strange way of talking." he said smirking almost at her shocked look as she turned to him, "Shakespearean, the old way of English. That hasn't been used in quite a while. but it's incredibly formal. Old Aristocrats talk that way, but I highly doubt you are a politician miss." he said to her.

"N-No, I am not some philanthropic monkey who sits in a chair all day deciding thy laws." Tsukiumi sputters, "And what about thou, you look like a country bum with that beard growing on thy neck." she told him.

Naruto laughed, "I suppose I do, it's been a couple days since I shaved." he said in agreement.

"But you do not deny being a bum?"Tsukiumi asked him.

"I'm an American, I don't give a shit what you call me." he said standing, "If you feel up to it, dinners almost ready. I just came up to check on your bandages and change the rag out." he said shrugging as he turned, unconsciously hiding his right arm from her, "Until then, you can sleep in my room as I take the couch, it'll let me be near my daughter if she needs me." he shrugged, "It's already paid for until I get what I've originally came for so for now anything you need here is yours." he said as he left the room.

Tsukiumi scoffed to herself only to pause when she saw the small shrine. There were three small candles, a burning incense, flowers next to the frame, and inside the frame, a photograph of the man who had walked out with a military uniform on embracing a woman who remarkably resembled her-shocking enough as it was-but she had her hair pulled up into a ponytail as she looked into the love of her life's eyes. They were young, incredibly so, most like a whole decade younger, but the love they had for one another was easily seen in the photograph.

He was a warrior, and a honorable one.

He wasn't some bum, and she had insulted a widower, she was a fool indeed.

XxX

Naruto sat with Yuuna in the crook of his arm and bounced her as the baby babbled as her papa played with her, "Boop boop boop." her daddy called out as the baby squealed happily, "Who's a happy baby? Who's a happy baby?" he asked her as the smaller blond waved her arms around, a couple of her waves hit her daddy, but the man simply laughed as he shook his head, some of his now shaggy hair waving into his face until blew it off, "Yes you are, you are the happy baby." he grinned happily.

Miya smiled softly as she watched Naruto play with his daughter, the love he had for her showing as the baby squealed and played as she brought the food into the dining room. Uzume was in the shower, and Matsu was in her room. Tsukiumi was awake, but she hadn't come down as of yet. However, the door sliding open drew both hers and Naruto's attention and stopped Yuuna's cries of happiness until she saw who was in the doorway, "N-No Yuuna, she isn't feeling well." he told the baby as she cried out for the blond woman.

Tsukiumi blinked and she looked to the baby holding her small chubby arms out to her, crying as she opened and closed her hands as if-oh wow, she really was asking to be held by the babe. She smiled softly as she sat next to the man-oh shit, now she really was the jerk of the world, she was brought out of her thoughts of potentially holding the child until she noticed the mans forearm wrapped in bandages, "If it is too much trouble to ask, but why does she wish for me to hold her?" she asked him as the baby cried out loudly, tears welling into her eyes.

"She has a photographic memory, well I assume she does. But, to answer your question, I think that she thinks that you are her mother." he told the blond woman.

"W-Well, I did see the photograph and I would not dispute the fact that I do share some resemblances with your betrothed. You how the people say you share a twin out in the world, it was uncanny how similar we looked to one another." she said. Yuuna's cry filled the air once more causing her father to wince from how shrill it was as he gently bounced her and rubbed on her back, "I-If it doesn't trouble you, I wouldn't mind holding her." she said.

Naruto shrugged, "I don't see why not. She seems to like you." he said as Tsukiumi held her arms out to the crying child and was surprised with how fast she silenced her cries as she nuzzled her head into the woman's shoulder, "She's so attached to you despite only meeting you, I haven't seen her take to anyone like that besides me." he said slightly shocked. He was actually amazed by the fact Yuuna took to a complete and total stranger, not even Michael-his old army friend-could hold her for long without her crying out for him until she got used to his presence and him consistently holding her over and over again.

"She is so small." Tsukiumi noted.

"She was a couple days early, but she's actually a bit larger than most babies her age." Naruto responded. Ninja children always grew at a faster rate than civilian children due to the larger chakra capacities they held.

"I see, and you also said her name was Yuuna yes?" she asked him.

"Yea, it was something her mother read in a book, and even now I am still trying to find where she got the name from." he chuckled as Yuuna babbled and looked at Tsukiumi and played with her long blond hair.

"She is a precious little thing, isn't she?" Miya said smiling.

"She is rather adorable I will admit, but I haven't ever saw myself as a mother before. It's a curious thought." Tsukiumi admitted. Yuuna cooed as she wrapped the longer hair around her hand, but Tsukiumi simply pulled it away with a tender hand and allowed her to play with her own hand-easily distracting the smaller child in her arms, "How old is she exactly?" she asked.

"She is about ten months, she's started to get her feet under her, and soon she'll need to be getting her twelve month shots when she becomes a year old." Naruto told his fellow blond.

Dinner was a silent affair, Uzume eating next to Miya and talking about her job at the small store next to the market. Naruto told stories of his younger years as a class clown and some of Yuuna's more adorable memories. Tsukiumi listened raptly as she shared some of her food with the babe who happily munched on the second hand meal from the woman who looked like her mother as she scooped up some corn and crushed it to feed her.

~XxX-M.B.I-XxX~

Naruto blinked in confusion, "So... what exactly does this mean? I mean, you said you were gonna make a arm, then you say you're not, I'm confused." he admitted. He was a infantryman, not a scholar.

Minaka clasped his hands together, "Due to some of your own personal concerns, and from the more minute details that Takami has informed me of, I destroyed the cloned arm we were initially preparing to make for you. That and there were some things that weren't growing properly like the initial tests had originally showed us, and no other cloned ligament turned out like the one we were making for you which is to say, a medical disaster. I think it was something I personally did when entering the mathematical equations and stuff that you need not concern yourself with cuz even I had a hard time coming up with the proper sequences to make you a new arm."

Naruto shrugged, "So, I just go home now, or are you doing something else?" he questioned.

Minaka nodded, "I assume you've played video games, right?" he asked and got a nod from the blond.

"Yea, but what does that have to do with anything with you making an arm for me?" Naruto asked.

"A very astute question, but it has everything to do with your new arm." Minaka said, "Ever play a game called Call of Duty, or one of the more modern versions?" he asked Naruto.

"Yea, I played it all the time when I was in the army, now, not so much, ya know, missing arm and all that." he said waving the half arm around.

"Well, I decided, that seeing as I can't make a physical copy of your original arm, that I would turn to science and technology much like the Advanced Warfare game for the Call of Duty series. This, mind you, will take quite a while and a lot of money, that if this works, will make you a legend." Minaka told Naruto.

"I don't wish to be a legend. I just wish to be able to raise my daughter. I was getting close to retiring anyways, but that was a whole other ordeal." Naruto waved at the man.

"No you weren't. You were barely a decade into your full service contract. You had the Grandfather clause, meaning you needed to serve the full twenty years or more in order to properly retire. You didn't have the Roth plan that is available today for the American service system. If you wanted to see your child grow up without much hassle, if your wife had survived-i do apologize for bringing her into this discussion, then you would need the additional ten years of service under your belt for you to retire." Minaka said.

Naruto sighed, "J-Just tell me, how long will this take for you to do?" he asked.

Minaka shrugged, "I dont know. Something like this hasn't happened before. No prototype, no design, nothing. This is going to be a highly sophisticated piece of hardware, and it's going to cost quite the penny to develop and test properly. Video games and television can use computer graphics technology all they like to make the depiction, but a physical representation of a mechanical prosthetic like the one I wish to design for you has never been attempted before. If anything, I would say a couple months for the designing alone if not longer." he told Naruto.

"I have bills to pay, and instead you literally wasted nearly a week of my time here, I could have been back home, doing things to help my child grow, and yet you convinced me to come here, simply because it'd be in the better interest of my fucking little girl." Naruto growled.

"I understand-"Minaka went to say only for Naruto to slam a hand down on the table causing Minaka to jump as the wooden desk jumped, "No you don't." Naruto told him, "Have ever been in a combat scenario?" he questioned.

Minaka shook his head "N-No, can't say that I personally have, though I have seen some things." he admitted.

"Well, let me tell you something. I literally gave up my freedom when I turned seventeen. I trained for half a year to understand the basics of how to kill a man with lethal proficiency. I slept in the rain, mud, snow and all other forms of hell. I walked around in muddy ass uniforms for months on end, no showers or baths for just as long. I walked across entire mountain ranges with wet and muddy boots for years. I was in scenario's where even the best men would break. When nights got cold to the point people suffered hypothermia and you had to stack up a whole squad to preserve your life. I literally was abandoned at one point in time on accident and had to fight over two dozen men to secure a mountain with nothing but the ammunition and rifle that I had one me as a specialist and nearly died from sixteen gunshot and shrapnel wounds. Trust me, a broken soldier I may be, but don't think for a second that any of my skills have gone to waste." Naruto told him.

"I am medically retired for less than a year, but let me tell you something else. You can take the soldier out of the army, but can't take the army out of the soldier." Naruto said as he got up to leave, "I apologize for my outburst, but let me just say, you could have tried this approach and informed me a couple years after you made the design of the prototype arm." he said before leaving.

~XxX-Mason Izumo-XxX~

Yuuna's cries filled the air once again and Naruto felt himself smiling softly as he entered the family room to see Tsukiumi rocking the babe in her arms as she tried to sooth her, "Oh, thanks god you came back." she said walking over to him.

"What happened?" he asked as he took her from the blond.

"S-She fell of the couch and bumped her head on the floor. I-I don't know if she's hurt or not." Tsukiumi said as Yuuna wailed louder.

"When did this happen?" Naruto asked as he looked at Yuuna's head to see if there was any blood.

"About three minutes ago. Miya is getting some ice to place on her head down at the market. Uzume is at work and so I was the only one here to watch over her." she told him.

"Well, let's just be glad this isn't the first time it's happened." he said as he sat down and kissed Yuuna's head softly, "Have you tried singing to her? She usually calms down if someone sings to her if something happens or if she's tired, that's probably what the main issue is." he said.

"B-But it's not even four inthe afternoon." Tsukiumi said.

"Has she had her nap?" Naruto asked her.

Tsukiumi shook her head, "I didn't know what time you usually put her down for a nap so I let her remain awake while the others did their own thing. I didn't even think to ask, I'm sorry." she apologized.

Naruto shrugged, "It's fine, just means she'll wake up later for her usual feeding tonight." he said clearing his throat, "Alright, let's try this." he said as he laid back into the couch cushions.

Just a small town kid, at heart!

How the good times pass so fast.

I wish I could go back in time,

Like a hour-glass.

Yuuna cried loudly, her sleepiness making it hard for her to calm down.

If you could hear me cry out for you,

I would give anything to comeback home, to you!

I'm coming home.

Naruto sang on, looking at his baby girl as Tsukiumi felt herself blushing as she sat down next to her fellow blond.

Just know that I'm coming home, to you.

Just know that I'm coming home, today.

No matter where that sun will rise,

I'm gonna fight for you tonight.

Just know that I'm coming home to you.

Yuuna sniffled, her her cries didn't let up even as her father sang to her.

It's the faces back at home,

Where we grew up.

A small house on a county road,

With my boys back home.

Yuuna sniffled again as she slowed her crying, the wails coming out as soft whimpers now.

As for Naruto, he thought back to when he was entering the army. Several of his new friends from the school systems had came to the graduation with Samui and jumped on or smacked him on the back grinning with the blond while cheering boisterously.

If you could hear me cry out for you,

I would give anything to come back home, to you~

I'm coming home!

Just know that I'm coming home, to you.

Just know that I'm coming home, today.

He remembered as he had gotten down on his knee and pulled out the ring and asked Samui to marry him. The shock on her face as she looked at the diamond ring in her boyfriends fingers

No matter where the sun will rise,

I'm gonna fight for you tonight.

Just know that I'm coming home, to you.

I'll never stop fighting for you.

I'll never give up up on you.

I'm coming home, to you.

Samui had nodded her head and allowed him to slip the engagement ring onto her finger before he stood up where she jumped into his embrace, now cementing her position as the future Mrs. Uzumaki in her boyfriend-well fiance's arms as the guys cheered and whooped around him. Fellow soldiers and instructors all clapping as the two blond's kissed one another while Kuisha and Sairaorg (2) clapped and took pictures of the moment.

I'll never stop fighting for you,

I'll never give up on you.

I'm coming home, to you.

I'm coming home,

He remembered putting on his Pinks and Greens dress uniform, getting ready to become a husband to the very excited Samui on the Fourth of July when he was on leave. The dress she wore was so beautiful it was almost like he had been gazing at a angel come down from heaven.

I'm coming home!

Just know that I'm coming home, to you.

Just know that I'm coming home, today.

No matter where the sun will rise,

I'm gonna fight for you tonight.

Just know that I'm coming home, to you.

The two blondes had spoken their vows with smiles of happiness and joy under a lovely full moon in the brisk Montana air that night, friends and family of the bride and groom cheering as they cemented their first kiss as husband and wife, surprisingly enough; Michael had been smacked in the face by the garter belt and his now wife had caught the bouquet of flowers-and now they had four kids and a fifth on the way.

Yuuna's sniffling was almost nonexistent at this point and Naruto smiled happily as he thought back to when Samui had come into the bedroom and presented him with the stick that would change their entire life, but would never come to be as husband and wife.

I'll never stop fighting for you,

I'll never give up on you!

I'm coming home, to you!

I'll never stop fighting for you,

I'll never give up on you.

I'm coming home, to you...

He nearly chuckled as Yuuna closed her eyes and wiggled a couple times before she began to softly snore in his arms. Standing up, Naruto silently walked into Miya's room and placed his baby girl in her crib and turned on the mobile once more and then powered on the night light and left the room and silently shut the door. Sitting on the couch he sighed, "Works every time." he said crossing his legs.

Normally Tsukiumi would scold a man for being so... cocky, but that sentence was more of a statement of how much he loved to sing to her whenever his child couldn't relax enough to rest. He had learned it all on his own without help. He had spent countless hours awake at night learning what his daughter needed, liked, disliked, wanted and all other things that the little blond had expressed as she grew.

This, was a parent who would do anything for his baby girl, to make her smile, the see her happy.

Tsukiumi smiled softly as she sat next to him and surprised even herself when she made her next move by leaning down and laying her head down on his shoulders, "Thou makest an amazing father, I don't think I've ever seen a man embrace parenthood as much as thee did tonight when his child was weeping." she said to him.

Naruto smiled as he looked to his fellow blond, "I've always wanted a family. Small house, large yard for the kids to play and run around in, couple dogs. Grill to cook on in the summer. Pool to swim in. Nice, comfortable, happy, peaceful. Somewhere I could call home." he told Tsukiumi.

"Sounds lovely." she said.

Naruto nodded, "I just wish I could have shared it with Yuuna's mother." he said, "Which surprises me seeing as she took to you so fast."he said.

Tsukiumi nodded, "Yes, I wouldst agree with you, I haven't ever thought of being a mother myself. I didst always wish for a child of my own, something to hold and watch grow from helpless to strong on their own." she said looking to Naruto, "S-She is a sweet thing, innocent, beautiful." she told him.

"Thank you."

Tsukiumi swallowed a lump in her throat, "I-I know that thou art still grieving thou lost wife, but can I ask something?" she asked him.

Naruto raised a brow, "Sure, I don't mind." he told her, "What is it you wanted to ask me?" he asked her.

"Please... become this lost birds Ashikabi..." she said climbing into his lap and gently grabbed his face and leaned in and pressed her lips to Naruto's own, the man too shocked to even act as wings of water sprouted from the woman's back. However, while the shock was very much still pleasant, Naruto couldn't help but see Tsukiumi as his dearly departed Samui, their faces were identical, the hair was just as wavy-though not as long-and golden as the sun. Naruto closed his eyes and allowed himself to relax as he wrapped his amputated arm around her waist to embrace her as he placed a hand to her cheek to deepen their kiss.

Upstairs, Matsu felt her jaws drop. Naruto had barely known Tsukiumi for a week and he had broken through all her barriers and managed to wing her?! Holy shit...

XxX

Back at M-B-I, Takami raised a brow as a image of a certain blond she had been seeing come and go the last few days pop up on her screen with a very specific picture of another blond as well, one that was quite infamous with her temper and hatred for a Ashikabi and was known to have killed the last eight that she reacted to.

Well, this should be fun.


So that is a wrap, LIKE/FAVORITE/FOLLOW to show the story some love and don't forget to leave me a nice long COMMENT/REVIEW to tell me what you think of this chapter, special shout-out's will be mentioned next chapter.

1: The song is Peyton Parrish I'm Coming home (Military Tribute) and I felt that this was a good song to sing as he played the guitar to remember the good times with Samui. No I don't own the song, but I do love it. A small note is that I personally wrote the lyrics seeing as NO website has them listed, and even a stone cold pipe-hitter infantryman that I am; I cried like a baby imagining and then writing this scene up.

2: Interpret as you wish, I just needed a couple random names for Samui's parents. It just so happened I chose those two.

And so yea, Naruto wings Tsukiumi. Let the games begin MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*Hibiki and Hikari are twins, so I chose a set of twin actresses for her and her sister. Originally it was going to be the Olsen twins seeing as I grew up on Full House, and I loved how they did the twins for the series. However, when I was scrolling through famous female twins, I remembered the Bella twins from he WWE/RAW/SMACKDOWN wrestling series and decided to go with them. And while; admittedly, I admire the Olsen twins, the Bella twins won me with their dark hair.

**Nikki Bella is a babe, like her sister, and I feel they would definitely do amazing as the Lightning Twins here.

***I don't care what anyone says about Johnny Depp, I love the guys acting, the man is a legend, so if you don't like a villain being portrayed by Depp, don't read, besides Minaka is akin to Jack Sparrow, but a bit more evil so that is why I chose him for the story.

****Seo is rough around the edges, and Gerard Butler can deliver such a position in real life.

*****A literal spur of the moment choice for Tatum to be picked for his character. I like his acting as well, so it fits.
