Naruto was sitting on his desk going through the papers he had. It was around 11:45 am as the phone next to the huge pile of documents rang. Naruto picked it up. "Hello, Sharingan company, Uchiha-sama's secretary here, " said Naruto. "Hey dickless, it's me, Sai, " said the person on the phone. Naruto rolled his eyes at his nickname which Sai gave him. "What is it Sai?" questioned Naruto annoyed as he went through the papers on his desk.
"It's about Kurama. He wants the meeting to be earlier because he's worried about you and your kids. He wants you guys to move in as quickly as possible, " said Sai monotone. Naruto choked on the air as he heard what Sai just said. He couldn't believe it. So soon?
"What? How come? What about the drug?" asked Naruto shocked. "Which drug?" asked Sai knowing full well what Naruto meant. He just wanted Naruto to never take it again even if it meant that he has to force him. "What do you mean which drug? Orochimaru's drug of course" yelled Naruto.
"Oh, this drug, " said Sai as he smiled. Naruto rolled his eyes knowing Sai was smiling and continued. "Now what about it? It will take a bit longer until the hence is gone, " sighed Naruto. "How long will it take?" asked Sai. Sai loved the image of Naruto. He was the one who saved him from loneliness after all and he didn't want Naruto nor Naruto's children to be in danger.
"I don't know. Perhaps one day after the birthday party, " said Naruto as he looked up to think. "Ok, I understand. Don't forget to resign from your job as a secretary, ok, " said Sai. Naruto nodded his head and answered with yes. Sai sighed and ended the call. Naruto sighed and continued his paperwork but what he didn't know was that someone heard the conversation with him and Sai.
"Naruto, " said Sasuke as he walked towards Naruto. Naruto looked up to Sasuke and raised a brow. Black eyes met red eyes. "Yes, Uchiha-sama?" he asked him. "What drug?" Sasuke asked angrily. Naruto tilted his head. Shoot. He thought. He had to play it cool. "What do you mean, Uchiha-sama?" asked Naruto not giving anything away. Sasuke walked closer to him. He was angry.
"You talked on the phone with someone about a drug, Orochimaru and my brother. What dirty things are you planning?" demanded Sasuke. He was already shouting at him and the employee could hear him. They snickered. They hoped that Sasuke would fire Naruto. Itachi, too, heard the shouting and appeared them. "What is going on?" he asked annoyed.
"Your little Secretary is planning something bad, " said Sasuke. Itachi looked at Naruto asking for an explanation. "Naruto, " he said sternly. Naruto stood up walked to Itachi and knelt. "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but Uchiha-sama heard me talking on the phone with the Kyuubi company and mistook something, " apologized Naruto as he looked at the floor. His eyes doll, just wishing to disappear from the planet.
"Don't believe him!" shouted Sasuke. Itachi had a decision to make. Either his brother, Sasuke, a family member or Naruto, his secretary, the best he ever had. Itachi looked between Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke was impatient waiting for Itachi to fire Naruto. Sasuke did this for his family company and his brother. He never trusted Orochimaru nor did he trust Naruto. Naruto was too good and he also looked familiar to someone he used to know.
But he wasn't sure. The thought of someone looking like the forbidden person's name and working for him but not being the person made him angry. Itachi took his time to think. Sure, this company was important to him and his family. His family built it up since this city existed. What am I supposed to do? Naruto is a good worker but he is suspicious. Itachi thought and finally decided what to do. He looked at Sasuke then at Naruto
"I made my decision, " he said. Sasuke rolled his eyes making a motion for 'finally' and was about to kick Naruto out. "Naruto you are still allowed to work here but I will have someone I trust watching over your actions, " said Itachi and turned around. He walked to his office, Naruto still on the floor and Sasuke was furious. "Itachi! You can't do this!" yelled Sasuke as he followed Itachi inside his office. Sasuke slammed the door shut and locked it.
Naruto stood up and walked back to his desk. He growled lowly. He just wanted a peaceful time while working in this company. He continued to work and after a few hours, he was allowed to go home. He drove to the hospital and picked up his children. He was happy to bring them back home.
~•••~
"Mama, " said Mito. Naruto looked at his daughter and smiled. "Yes, honey, " he said as he walked to his daughter. "Why are you sad?" asked Mito. Naruto was taken aback that his daughter sensed his sadness and smiled at her. "I just had a bad day but everything is fine now, " he said. Mito nodded her head and walked back to her room. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Naruto stood up and wanted to open the door but Haruto was faster. "I will get it, mommy, " he said and Naruto smiled.
He was so happy to be trusted by his children. Naruto opened the door and saw a classmate. "Excuse me I thought Mito and Menma live here, " said the girl. "Yes, the does. What do you need?" asked Haruto the little girl kinder than she expected him to. "I'm here to give them their homework. I have yours and Hima's, too, " she said smiling a bit at him. "Thank you very much, " he said and smiled back. He waved her goodbye and closed the door.
Naruto approached him. Haruto's behavior changed dramatically fast. He had become much nicer towards other people and Naruto liked that. "What is that?" he asked Haruto. Haruto turned around smiled at Naruto. "It's our homework, " he said. "Oh, ok. Wait homework? I thought I told Jiji to not give you any homework. I'm going to beat his ass, " said Naruto as he was about to storm out.
"No, it's fine, mom, " said Haruto, and Naruto calmed down. "Ok, if you say so. Tell me if you need help with your homework, " he said. Haruto nodded his head and went to his siblings. Naruto sat back down as his phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the caller ID before answering. "Hello?" he said.
"Hello, Naruto, " a female voice said. "Oh, hello, baa-chan, " said Naruto as he sat down. "Naruto, " she started sternly, and Naruto stiffened. "Stop taking these drugs, will ya, " she said. Naruto hummed and told her that he stopped taking them for a while now. "Ok, good. If you take them one more time then you might get cancer or worst, die, " she said, and he hummed again.
"Ok, I understand bye, " he said and ended the call. Naruto walked to the computer and started to look for some things to decorate for the party. He wrote a few invention cards and put them in a letter. He sat the for about three hours until it was time to make dinner. He stood up and walked to the kitchen to cook. He cooked Paella. It took him a while to finish it because it was his first time cooking it.
After the food was done he went to his children and called them. They sat together and ate. "This tastes so good, " said Menma. "Yes, totally, " agreed Hima. "Thank you. It's nice that you like it, " said Naruto as he smiled at them. "What is it called?" was the question Haruto asked him. "Oh, it called Paella. It's a portion of Spanish food, " said Naruto. "It's so delicious. I need to know how to cook this, " said Mito. They all laughed and continued to eat.
Later that day, Naruto read them all a good night story. After that, they all fell asleep easily. Even Naruto.
~••••~
The next morning, only a few days left until the quadruplets. It was early in the morning, around 5 am, as the doorbell rang. Hima stood up and opened the door. "Hello, " she said as she looked at the men in front of the door. "Hello? Where's Naruto?" asked the men. Hima looked at him suspiciously. She never saw him or ever heard of him. "Who are you and what do you need from him?" asked Hima eagerly.
The man gave her a closed visible one eye smile while the other man skilled with two visible eyes. "My name is Hatake Kakashi and this is my partner Uchiha Obito, " said the man now identified as Hatake Kakashi. "We are here because we have to watch over him, " said Obito. "No, " said Hima and closed the door. She walked back to her shared room and continued her sleep.
Kakashi glanced at Obito and Obito glanced at Kakashi. "See, I told you I should speak. Let me do this Bakashi, " said Obito and rang the doorbell again. They waited for about 30 seconds until the door opened revealing a small boy with blonde hair. "Who are you?" asked the small boy as he looked at the two men annoyed. "Hello there, little friend, I'm Obito Uchiha and this is Kakashi Hatake-" said Obito but the boy, Haruto, closed the door and went back to sleep.
Both, Obito and Kakashi grew impatient and rang the bell again but much longer than the last time. As the door finally opened, they saw two more children. "What?!" said the two annoyed. "Is it the two old men?" asked Haruto as he appeared behind Mito and Menma. "Yes, it is," said Mito.
At this moment Naruto walked in. He had a long orange T-shirt on which reached his tights. And underneath black boxers. "What is going on? Who is that person who's ringing my door like a little lost puppy?" asked Naruto as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked at the two men and raised a brow. "Ah, hello. My name is Hatake Kakashi and this is my partner Uchiha Obito and we are here because Itachi-Kun sent us to watch over you and your work, " said Kakashi.
Naruto nodded his head and invited them in. "Come in. It's still early. Do you want something to drink? Eat?" he asked them. Obito and Kakashi walked in and nodded their head. "I would like-, " Obito started but was interrupted by Mito. "Hey, can we eat pancakes?". "That's a good idea. We would like to eat it, too, " said Obito as he smirked to Mito, who only rolled her eyes at him.
A few minutes later, Naruto had made the pancakes and his children were ready to eat. Naruto called his children to the kitchen to eat. A few seconds later they all sat down and ate. Naruto was walking around the flat as he thought about how he would decorate it. Kkakshi observed him closely which didn't go unnoticed by Hima.
"What? Are you in love with mama?" she asked him and all of them looked at her except Naruto because he was too fixed on how to clean up this mess. "Hima!" yelled Haruto. "What?" she asked innocently. "You can't just say this," said Haruto as he shook his head. "But she ain't wrong tho," said Mito.
"Excuse me?" said Kakashi as he looked between the children. "You are excused," they sat and continued to argue. Obito was laughing his putt of as Kakashi looked offended. Four little five to six years old excused him? How is that possible? "Doesn't he wants to eat, too?" asked Obito as he looked at Naruto.
"Oh, mommy? No, he doesn't eat. And the reason? I'm not gonna tell ya, believe it, " said Menma as he continued to eat his pancakes. After a while, it was time to go to school. The doorbell rang and Naruto opened it. It was Shikamaru who was standing in front of the door. "Hello, Naruto;" greeted Shikamaru.
"Hey, Shika. Come in, " said Naruto as moved to the side for Shikamaru to enter. Shikamaru walked in and saw Kakashi and Obito but walked past them. He sat on the couch in the living room. "Have you eaten yet?" asked Shikamaru as he looked at Naruto. "No, he hasn't, " said Haruto.
Naruto shot Haruto a glare and smiled at him. "Eat," said Shikamaru. Naruto shook his head no. "Eat, now, " demanded Shikamaru. Naruto rolled his eyes and went to the kitchen and ate something small. He was chewing on a toasted bread angrily and glared at Haruto who laughed at him.
Shikamaru looked at the clock and stood up. "It's time to go to school, kids, " said Shikamaru as he opened the door. They followed him suit after they got a goodbye kiss from their mother. "I will have them picked up by Karin, later, " said Shikamaru as he closed the door. Naruto nodded and went inside the bathroom to change his clothes. A few minutes later he came out and had his work clothes on. He motioned Obito and Kakashi to follow him. They did just that and sat inside and drove off to work.
~•••~
They reached the company and Naruto walked in front of Kakashi and Obito. Both, Obito and Kakashi noticed the dirty looks Naruto got but didn't comment on it because they wanted to see Naruto's reaction. Naruto walked passes the people who were gossiping about him and walked to his desk. On his face a small smile as he had his peace from the others. He immediately started his work.
He went through all the paperwork checking if they are correct or not, sorting them out, and much more. Kakashi saw that Naruto was a hard-working worker and did his job good. Obito noticed the workers giving Naruto more work than he should have. It was now lunchtime as the workers took their breaktime to eat and rest but Naruto stayed where he was.
He continued with his work and never left his seat. Itachi walked outside and saw Obito and Kakashi sitting there without food and sighed. He walked outside to eat.
After the lunch break, the people all came back while Naruto continued with his work. Obito grew hungry and Naruto noticed it. He closed the laptop and put the documents in a clear and nice order.
He stood up and smiled at Obito. "Let's go and eat something. You both must be hungry," said Naruto as he walked to where Obito and Kakashi were sitting. Both nodded their heads and walked outside the office. Naruto took them to the ramen restaurant he went to last time with Itachi.
As they reached the restaurant Naruto was greeted by the owner. "Please follow me, Naruto, and you two, too," said the man. "Thank you, Teuchi-san," said Naruto as he followed the man now known as Teuchi to a private room. Kakashi and Obito followed suit. They sat down and ordered something. As the food came Obito and Kakashi started to eat but not Naruto.
He continued the work on the laptop. "Why aren't you eating?" asked Kakashi. Naruto shook his head and said he wasn't hungry. After the meal, they went back to work and Naruto continued with the documents. Then the phone rang and Naruto hoped that it wasn't Sai otherwise he would die out of embarrassment.
He picked up the phone and said hello. "Hello dickless, Kurama wanted to ask you if you already have documents for the meeting we will have with the Sharingan company," said Sai. Naruto glared at the air. "I'm almost finished, painter's face," said Naruto and he heard Sai laughing. "Ok, I understand. Then, see you later~," sang Sai as he ended the call.
Obito and Kakashi noticed the familiarity on the phone and questioned why both of them worked so well together. They used to work with Sai and both of them know how savage Sai could be. But it didn't seem to look like that with the relationship Naruto and Sai had. Naruto continued with his work till late at night. He looked at the time and saw that it was already half-past nine. He sighed and stood up. He said goodbye to Kakashi because Obito decided to bring Naruto home.
~•••~
"What did he do all day?" asked Itachi Kakashi and Obito. Sasuke, too, was in the room waiting for the report. "Well, it all started around 5 am as Obito and I rang their doorbell, " started Kakashi as he looked at Obito. "As we waited for Naruto to open the door, the door was opened by a small girl, " said Obito.
"This must be his daughter, Mito, " said Itachi. "I beg your pardon, sir, but it was another girl called Hima, " said Kakashi. Itachi and Sasuke raised a brow. "However, as we told her that we are here for Naruto she closed the door and went back to the room, " said Obito annoyed. "And this happened again with another boy and two more children., " said Kakashi.
"Skip that part and tell us what Naruto did, " said Sasuke as he rolled his eyes. Obito rolled his eyes at his younger cousin's comment while Kakashi continued. "He invited us in and we ate but he was doing something. He was running around the flat, " said Kakashi. "He was probably hiding the drug, " said Sasuke. "There were no drugs, Sasuke, " said Obito.
"Please continue, " said Itachi calmly. "Well, later the doorbell rang again, and Nara Shikamaru came inside. They were talking a bit and the Nara boy demanded Naruto eat at least something small, " said Obito. "What was the Nara doing over at his place?" asked Sasuke. "He was there to pick up Naruto's children and drove them to school, " answered Kakashi.
Sasuke and Kakashi nodded their head. "Then we drove to work. He was working past lunchtime and a few employees gave him more work to do than he should have done. But Naruto accepted it all, " said Kakashi. Itachi again nodded his head. "Then both of us grew hungry and Naruto seemed to notice it as he asked us if we wanted to eat, " said Obito in an 'as a matter of fact' type of voice.
"We then drove to-" started Obito but was interrupted by Kakashi. "Before that happened he got a call from Sai, " said Kakashi, and Sasuke's and Itachi's interest grew. "What did they talk about?" asked Itachi. I knew it! They were planning to harm Itachi, thought Sasuke.
"Well, let me quote what Sai said, " said Kakashi. 'Hello dickless, Kurama wanted to ask you if you already have documents for the meeting we will have with the Sharingan company, ' quoted Kakashi. "And what did Naruto say?" asked Sasuke.
"Well, he just said that he was almost done then Sai ended the call, " said Obito. "And what happened after that?" asked Sasuke. "We two ate and he was working till half-past 9," added Kakashi. "Is that everything?" asked Itachi and both Kakashi and Obito.
~•••~
Shikamaru left the kids at school and drove off. Mito, Menma, Haruto, and Hima walked inside the school building. They walked to their class and saw Sarada. Sarada then walked to them and hugged all four of them. "You are all fine, right?" she asked them with tears in her eyes. Hima smiled and nodded her head yes. They sat down and talked a bit until their teacher came.
"So guys, I want you to draw something for your parents, " said the teacher as she looked around the class. Haruto raised his hand. "Yes?" asked the teacher. "What should we draw?" he asked her. She nodded her head and said good question. "I want you to draw a family picture, " she said smiling. They all nodded their heads and started to draw.
Haruto, Menma, Hima, and Mito drew a picture with them, Naruto and Shikamaru. Mito and Menma added Sai and Orochimaru. Just because they didn't like him didn't mean that he didn't help them out when they needed it the most. And Karin of course, too. Sarada drew a picture of her and her parents. She included her grandparents and Obito. And two more people.
The girl who had visit Haruto drew a picture of her and her mother. She had no father. The other student drew a picture of themselves with their mother and father. They may have added their grandparents and uncles including aunts. After they were finished they had to explain who they drew. Sarada started.
"This is my family. My mother and my father. This is my uncle Madara and Obito. These two are my grandparents. And this is also my uncle. His name is Shisui. And the girl in the middle is me!" she said happily. She had drawn herself, her mother, and grandmother in a beautiful dress while the males had fancy suits on. It was a cute drawing.
The next one was the girl. "This is my small family. This is my amazing and loving mother, Hinata. And this is me, " she said as she pointed at herself her drawing. A few started to laugh at her. "Where's your father?" a boy asked. "My father and mother aren't together anymore. But I still see my father on the weekends. His name is Shino, " she said still smiling.
"Haha, Yua has no father, " said a boy. The kids started laughing and Yua looks down sad almost crying. "Shut up, " said Menma as he glared at the boy. "She didn't do anything wrong, " said Hima. "That was mean!" yelled Mito. "You wouldn't say that if you were in her position, " shouted Haruto. Yua looked at them with a shimmer in her eyes.
The teacher motioned them to continue with their drawings. It was now Haruto's and Hima's time to explain their drawing. "This is my big brother Haruto, " said Hima as she pointed at Haruto in her small drawing. "This is my father. He's like a real mommy sometimes. And he doesn't mind me calling him mommy!" she said happily. "This is my sister and this is me. This is a good friend of our father, " said Haruto as he looked at the drawing.
"And these two children are our siblings, " said Haruto. "I thought you are only twins, " said a random girl. "We are adopted, " said Hima. "But we are still family, " said Menma and all kids looked at them. "This is not true!" shouted another kid. The teacher rolls her eyes already having enough of it and cut the boy off. It was now Mito's and Menma's time to explain their picture.
"This is our father. And these are our two siblings, Haruto and Hima, " they both said smiling at them. "This is a good friend from our father and this one here, " Mito said as she pointed at Sai, " This one should be our father but father said he won't marry him, " said Mito as she pouted like the small girl she was. "And this is our father's godfather. We don't like him but he still helped us a lot. And this is our aunt, Karin. She is super nice, " said Menma.
"Wait. You would have two dads?" asked the teacher. "Yes, we would. Why is there a problem teacher?" asked Menma. "You see, it's always mommy and daddy and not daddy and daddy, " she said. "I know but daddy said no to him anyway, so it's fine right?" said Mito as she looked at her teacher. "Oh, y-yes I guess, " she said.
They continued with the explanation until it was time to go to the break. They played and had a few more subjects until it was time to go home. "Hey, " said Yua as she approached the five children. "Hey, " they answered. "Thank you for standing up for me earlier, " she said a bit shyly. "It's not a big deal, " they said.
They talked a bit and Sarada was picked up from her mother. She said goodbye and went home. Yua talked to the other four children until Karin came. "Can we wait a little longer?" asked Haruto. Karin looked at him confused until she saw the girl and she nodded her head. About twenty minutes later, Yua's mother, Hinata came.
"I'm so sorry honey, ai know I'm late, " she said as she walked to her. "Hinata?" asked Karin as she looked at her. "Karin? What are you doing here?" Hinata asked Karin. Karin told her that she was picking up her nephews and nieces. "I didn't know that you had a daughter, " said Karin. Hinata smiled and explained it to her.
They waved each other goodbye and went home. As they reached home, Karin cooked them something to eat while the children were doing their homework. After they ate and played they headed to bed. Karin stayed up until Naruto came. She heard the door opened and saw Naruto with another man.
"Naruto, you're finally home, " said Karin as she appeared from the dark apartment. "Hey, Karin. Thank you for watching over the kids, " said Naruto as he hugged her. She smiled and waves him goodbye. "Who was that?" asked Obito after Karin was gone. "Oh, this was my cousin Uzumaki Karin, " said Naruto. Obito nodded his head and smiled.
"Thank you for taking me home safely, " said Naruto as he smiled at him. "No problem, " said Obito and bit his goodbye. Naruto walked to the living room and laid on the bed exhausted. He hadn't eaten for a while. He may have had toasted bread but it wasn't enough. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Choke yourself to sleep
