…

Naruto sighed as he arrived home, he walked up the stairs, sensing all the people in his house, he noted he would need to stop offering people to stay in his house. For now, however, it was for the best, they all needed a place and didn't have any money. Naruto reached the apex of the stairs, and headed for his room, he was stopped by Haku walking out of his room and stopping him.

Haku bowed, "Naruto, thank you for your hospitality, you have shown such compassion for those who were once your enemy."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head grinning, "Don't worry about it Haku, you guys helped us out tremendously. If not for you I doubt I would have Hinata here with me right now, by the way, how is Zabuza?"

Haku sighed, "He is coming along; however, he won't be released from the hospital for at least another week. He will make a full recovery though I'm not sure how that's possible given the extent of his injuries."

Naruto nodded, "Granny Tsunade is incredible, she really is the greatest medic of all time. Some of the things she can do are quite extraordinary."

Haku nodded, "Indeed, I did see Lady Tsunade was quite the healer. I'm quite interested in the medical arts myself. I got to talk to her briefly about it."

Naruto grinned, "I'm glad, have you enjoyed the amenities here at my house?"

Haku shook his head glumly, "I'm afraid not, I've either been at the hospital with Zabuza, or being interrogated."

Naruto's teeth elongated, as he growled in anger, "What?! I sent explicit instructions you were to be left alone!"

Haku grinned at him, "Naruto, it's quite alright, I don't object to it. Lady Tsunade is graciously allowing myself and Zabuza to become ninja of Konoha. I figured we would be interrogated for information. They haven't been entirely unpleasant either. Ibiki was kind enough, Anko was kind after her initial gloating at haven beaten me in our last bout. I did challenge her to a rematch though. Tsunade was actually quite pleasant and not much of an interrogation, she just wanted to know my story, so she could properly know my ticks as one of her ninja. Danzo was the most unpleasant, he didn't believe me much, and most of his questions were centered around you and Hinata, instead of Zabuza and myself."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Haku what did you tell him?"

Haku raised an eye, "Naruto, I didn't tell him anything about you and Hinata. I promise, I found it odd, but he maintained that he was asking for the sake of the village, I didn't press about it."

Naruto growled, "That bastard has it out for Hinata, he forced drugs on her, made her tell him everything that happened to her. He then tried to have her imprisoned for being a traitor, told her she was guilty of treason. He then told her clan elders and they marked her with the caged bird seal, they tortured her with it. He has no place talking to anyone for this village anymore."

Haku nodded, "I didn't tell him anything about you and Hinata, except that you were very powerful the both of you. I was told by the elders of the village that he was interrogating me on their behalf."

Naruto nodded, "I'm sorry Haku. I really didn't want you to have to go through that."

"Think nothing of it Naruto. I'm so appreciative to be here. I've always wanted a place to call home, now I have one." Haku told him earnestly.

Naruto nodded, "I'm glad to hear that!" That said Naruto moved past him, heading to his room. He looked to the bathroom, the door was mostly closed, but partially cracked. He could hear the shower going, he knew Hinata was in there. He was exhausted from the entirety of the mission, and he still had to figure out what he was going to do about Danzo, he was starting to make moves again, and Naruto didn't like it. He dropped onto his bed exhausted, his eyelids were heavy, and he allowed them to close. Allowing sleep to take him, he didn't notice the shower turn off and Hinata walk out of the bathroom.

She walked out and frowned, Naruto was already asleep, she had missed him over the length of the mission. They hadn't actually talked much since she had gotten mad at him. She looked down at the purple floral lace babydoll lingerie, that was quite short, she was wearing and sighed. She had hopped she could make up being bitchy to him by wearing this, and hopefully making out or doing more. She had started to yearn for him, even leaving the door open tonight in hopes that he might come in and join her. She had left it as a clue. She bit her lips as tears began to build up in her eyes. She had wanted to have some fun with him, break the ice a little bit, then relax and have the conversation they needed to have.

She got up and pulled out her normal pajamas, a t-shirt, and pajama bottoms. Her lingerie was quite comfortable, but she wasn't going to wear it to bed if Naruto wasn't awake to enjoy it. She sealed it into a seal and placed it in her pack, not wanting Naruto to come upon it and get the wrong idea. Not that she thought he would dig in her underwear drawer without reason, but sometimes he grabbed her clothes for her when she asked him too, or if she needed a change of clothes for some reason he would grab them for her. She didn't mind, but she didn't want him to see that until she was wearing it for him.

Hinata sighed once more as she climbed into bed, Naruto wasn't under the covers, pulled the covers under him, then slid them back on top of him, and got under herself. She turned over and closed her eyes, trying to sleep. After about ten minutes she frowned, she couldn't sleep, she was seeing Kabuto every time she closed her eyes, and she felt all alone. Naruto was right next to her, but she still felt all alone. She hmphed, turning to Naruto, he was still out cold, she narrowed her eyes, gently grabbing his arm, she moved him onto his side, and snuggled under his arm and into his chest, she grinned as his arms instinctively wrapped around her tighter, she felt his warmth, and it transferred to her. She was warm now, and slowly drifted off to sleep. Naruto holding her, helped stave off the nightmares.

Naruto woke up in the morning, grinning at the woman in his arms, she was snuggled into his chest, and she was very warm, it made Naruto quite happy. Her lips were curled into a contented smile, signaling she wasn't being plagued by her nightmares at the moment. He leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of her head lovingly.

He then looked at the clock, and sighed, it was getting to be late morning, but his body was still fairly sore from the mission, and he didn't really feel like moving much. He knew he needed to train, he had been slacking lately and it reflected poorly this mission. He had been thoroughly beaten by Namu, and needed Kurama's chakra far more than he wanted to. He hated using her power, he wanted to win on his own strength not on hers. It was a good backup and he wasn't so stubborn as to not use it when he needed it. Still he hated using her power. He wanted to the strongest ninja in the world, without using her power.

Of course, training Hinata had taken a toll on his own training, and he knew that, but he wouldn't trade the time he spent with her for anything. He looked back down at her as she began to shift in his arms, clearly starting to wake up, she looked up at him, smiling gently up at him, "Naru." She breathed out as she looked into his blue eyes, getting lost momentarily. "A girl could get used to waking up like this you know."

Naruto laughed, "I enjoy it myself. Trust me."

Hinata smiled, and leaned up capturing his lips with her own, kissing him. However, reminding herself that she had to talk to him, she pulled away before he could deepen it. Naruto frowned slightly, upset she was pulling away from it.

"We need to talk." She told the blond ninja.

Naruto nodded, "Right, super excited about this." He told her sarcastically.

Hinata rolled her eyes, but before she could start he started for her, "Look, I realize I don't technically have a right to know everything, but I feel like you should've told me this one. I mean, it affects me too doesn't it?"

Hinata bit her lip, "I know how much you want a family, and now I can't give it to you. I…I wanted to see if there was anything that could be done before I told you."

Naruto's brows furrowed, he didn't quite understand, "Why?"

"BECAUSE! You want a family and now I can't give it to you." Hinata pulled away from him, turning away and allowed the tears to start falling, "It only makes sense that you would want to break up with me now. I understand, I get it. There's no reason to continue dating. I wanted to find out it if I could fix it. Then fix it, I would have told you everything after that! I-I just didn't want to lose you before I fixed it."

Naruto shook his head, "Hinata, I'm not going to break up with you. I still love you. We can figure it out."

"That's kind of you, you're always so kind to me." Hinata told him, as he sat up and put a hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her, "I can't let you do this though, I know you want a family, I can't give it to you, so I can't allow myself to be so selfish as to hold you in this shitty relationship."

Naruto shook his head, getting slightly angry, his voice rising slightly, "Why do you get to decide that! I love you, I don't want a family with anyone else! I couldn't have a family with anyone else! We can figure this out!"

Hinata was crying, "NO! We can't I've already exhausted all of our resources."

"So, you already talked to Tsunade? What about Kurama?" Naruto asked.

Hinata shook her head, "Kurama can't help either, we tried, and it was only extremely painful for me, and only made it worse."

Naruto nodded, deciding words weren't the best solution in this situation, he pulled her, though she was rather reluctant, into a hug. He held her tight as she cried more. Running his hand through her hair, he shushed her, "Hina, it's okay. I'm not going to break up with you, and you sure as hell aren't going to break up with me. I won't let you, because I know it isn't what you really want. I know you love me, and I love you, so why can't we be together? We can figure everything else out. We can adopt in the future if we have to. I don't mind that. It's still family."

Hinata nodded, and leaned up in his arms, kissing him on the lips, she deepened the kiss herself, opening her mouth and allowing his tongue access. They separated for air and Hinata hugged him tight to her, and asked, "I want kids too. I just want to have a normal life. I want to be a mother, I want to have my own children. He took so much from me, why did he take this as well?"

Naruto bit his lip, "I…I don't know Hinata, I wish I could tell you. He's a psychopath, he wanted to mentally torture you I imagine. I'm sure it was just another way to make you give up. To make you lose hope, and to hurt your spirit. It gave him another measure of control over you." Naruto told her angrily.

She lowered her head, "He still has so much control over me. I don't like it Naru. I just want to be free of him, and his influence.

Naruto nodded, "I know Hina, I know. I'm so sorry I let him get his hands on you again. I can't believe he was there."

Hinata nodded, "He just seems to be a constant threat, I can never let my guard down, not even in the village."

Naruto sighed, "I will do my best to keep you safe Hina. I'm sorry that hasn't been enough so far. I will do better I promise."

Hinata shook her head, "It isn't your job to protect me. I'm a ninja, I have to fight my own battles. I wasn't able to fight him after I exhausted my chakra. Your seal saved my life in the water. I was so far below the surface after landing. The impact broke even more of my bones I'm pretty sure. I wasn't going to make it, I was going unconscious and I used my last bit of chakra to activate your seal. I floated up to the top. Your seal saved my life, but then Kabuto was there. He healed me, so that he could move me, and make sure I didn't die. He wanted me alive for my…punishment."

Naruto nodded, he didn't want to stop her however, he wanted to know what had happened to her. He was happy she was opening up to him, "He slapped me until I woke up, then beat me. He cut off my top, and then got r-really angry. He screamed at me, angry that his m-marks were gone. Then he started beating me again. Hitting me and kicking me. It hurt so much. He did so much damage. Then he broke the virginity seal my father placed on me. I passed out soon after, when I woke up he choked me again. Before pulling me down, and scarring me all over my body again. Then he pulled his shirt off and was about to rape me when Haku saved me." Hinata finished this story with tears in her eyes.

Naruto nodded, "I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you. After Kurama and I finished off Namu I had no chakra left and neither did she. I collapsed and Gato took me away, he wanted to make me pay for costing him so much money. He cut me all over my body, then strapped me to a generator and electrocuted me. I didn't have the chance to escape until later, they left a knife in my shoulder and I used it to kill everyone. Including Gato."

Hinata nodded, "I don't blame you for not being there Naruto."

Naruto shook his head, "I blame myself. I need to start training harder."

"Can I join you? I need to get stronger as well. At a more rapid pace. I can't let him touch me again." Hinata asked him.

"It won't be easy. I'll be pushing myself to my limits daily. Can you handle that?" Naruto responded.

Hinata nodded, "I'll do my best."

"That's all I can ask. So, what happened when Kurama tried to help with your womb? How do I not know about it?" Naruto asked.

Hinata gulped, "Right, it was when you were still hurting after you were taken by the Akatsuki. You were on pain pills and Tsunade had come and told me she had tested my womb that I was b-barren. I broke down, I cried so hard I woke you up after she left. You came down and comforted me. Once we made it back upstairs you passed out, and I fell asleep. Kurama brought me into your mindscape, but blocked you. Then she talked to me about it. We decided we would try to lance the cells with her chakra. She possessed you and started to try, but like I told you, it made it worse, it was very painful, and Kabuto had set a trap. He appeared in this jutsu and talked to us. He threatened me, promised me he would get me back. That he knew where I was now, my exact location. He knows where this room is…"

Naruto growled, "I'd fucking love to see him try to come here."

Hinata's eyes widened, "N-No. I don't want him to try. I just want him to stay out of my life, to leave me alone."

Naruto nodded, "I know what you mean, but we both know that most likely isn't going to happen of his own volition. He is insane. Let's…not talk about that though. Instead you said something about cells, I still don't quite understand what happened to you. How did you make you…barren? If you can't tell me it's okay. I understand."

"He told me he was going to make sure I never had children, because he knew it was something I had always wanted. He then knocked me out, I had no idea what he actually did, I woke up and my abdomen exploded in pain. I never wanted to know what he did to me after that. My periods became extremely painful after that. Deep down I knew he did mess with my womb, but I didn't tell anyone, except Anko. Then Tsunade had to run extra tests after the Akatsuki run in. She found some inconsistencies that she had previously overlooked due to all my other medical needs. When she did more tests, she found me barren." She said, breaking down again.

Naruto held her tight, patiently waiting for her to continue with her story, "Tsunade came, and told me what he did to me. He injected a toxin into my womb. It attacks the lining of my womb to deform the cells there. It attacks other cells and tissue in my womb to protect themselves then they attack my eggs monthly and destroy them. It makes it impossible for the newly conceived baby or embryo to attach itself to the womb and attacks directly; causing it to be spontaneously aborted. It acts like a cancerous cell, but it won't kill me as it was engineered to stay inside my womb and not spread. My ovaries are safe. It just continues to replicate with chakra. Like the neurotoxin that he injected me with it disappears outside of the body and Tsunade can't study it or make an antidote because of that. She said that she could try to scoop it out because of the deformed cell it would just regenerate and come back, like cancer but even worse. There is no way to heal it…." Hinata continued to sob as she relayed the information Tsunade had given her.

Naruto didn't know what to say, what could he say? The list of atrocities that Kabuto had committed against Hinata just continued to grow. He took deep breaths to try and quell his anger, his fists clenched tight. Hinata leaned up to look at him, she grew worried, "You aren't mad at me, are you?"

Naruto looked at her shocked, "No! Why would I be?"

"You're angry and I'm the only one here and I can't have kids and I'm used in certain ways. I didn't tell you any of this. You could be mad at me for all these things." Hinata told him.

Naruto shook his head, "I'm angry purely at Kabuto. At what you had to endure. You've endured so much Hinata. I love you."

Hinata pulled him in tight, "I love you too Naru."

Naruto held onto her for a while, not letting her go anytime soon. He had no plans to let her go. He just held her tight. She leaned back and allowed him to capture her lips, they immediately deepened the kiss once again making out. This time however, they didn't stop after taking a breath, Naruto continued to kiss her, his hands on her hips as her fingers were splayed across his chest. They continued, Naruto's hands slipping towards her butt. He stopped kissing looking into her eyes, asking the question. She nodded to him, and his hands enveloped her butt. Squeezing it gently as she smiled. Then she captured his lips again, happy with the step they had just made. Naruto continued to feel her, as she snaked her own hands under his shirt, feeling his hard abs as she did.

The two stopped as they heard the doorbell ring. Naruto growled as Hinata moved to get up, "Let someone else get it." He captured her lips again, but she gently pushed him away.

"At least let me see who it is." That said, she activated her Byakugan and gasped, it was her father standing at the door. She started to get up telling Naruto, "It's my father, will you go get it, so I can get presentable?"

Naruto nodded, throwing on a new shirt and a pair of pants quickly so that he looked like he hadn't just gotten out of bed. He flashed down to the door, opening it and smiling at Hiashi. "Lord Hiashi, how are you today?"

"I'm well Naruto, I heard you and my daughter just returned from her first mission as an active ninja again. I heard it was rather…rough, I wanted to check on her." Hiashi told him.

Naruto nodded, "Right, well come on in, can I get you something to drink?"

Hiashi nodded, "A cup of tea would be wonderful."

Naruto created a clone and sent it to the kitchen to make said cup of coffee, "Sorry Lord Hiashi, Hinata is getting ready right now. After the…rough mission we decided to take it easy this morning."

Hiashi nodded, "It's understandable, breaks are needed. What happened out there Naruto? I heard from Tsunade that Hinata was almost taken again?"

Naruto set his jaw nodded, "Yes sir. I'm sorry, I failed you, Kabuto got his hands on her again."

"How?" Hiashi asked.

Naruto started to tell him the story, by the time he got to Hinata fighting Namu she walked down the stairs. Rushing in she hugged her father as he smiled at her. "Hinata I'm so glad you're okay! Tsunade told me you got into some trouble."

Hinata nodded, "It was nothing we couldn't handle father. We got through it, though it was a much more difficult mission than I thought."

Naruto nodded, "Hinata here beat an S rank ninja in a straight fight. She was incredible!"

Hiashi grinned, "That's my girl! Good work!"

The three continued to talk over tea until Hiashi got up excusing himself to attend to more clan matters, "Hinata, I'm so proud of you. You have endured so much, overcome so much, and now you are frighteningly strong! I would like to see how your skills match up against Neji sometime."

Hinata blushed, "Oh, father I'm not that good yet."

"I wouldn't be so sure daughter, I'm not so sure Neji could have beaten Namu like that." Hiashi told her, before leaving.

Naruto looked over to Hinata, to see her smiling from ear to ear, her father complimenting her strength and comparing her to Neji, it had helped make her day.

The couple then headed out to lunch, meeting Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Temari, Sai, and Shino at a Bar-B-Q joint that Choji liked to frequent. They all sat together discussing their recent missions. Ino had pulled Hinata aside and made sure her best friend was alright. They enjoyed their first of two days off. After lunch they did some light sparring with one another and then headed home to rest. Deciding they would hop into the hot springs in Naruto's house.

After the hotsprings they climbed in bed. Hinata cuddled up to Naruto and grinned up at him, kissing him quickly before cuddling into him.

The next day went largely the same, Hinata and Ino went shopping together for fun, Naruto went and hung out with Kakashi and Shikamaru, one of the few times they were together in the village lately. After they packed and had dinner, Tsunade met them at Naruto's house. She walked in and briefed them.

"As you both know, Namu was a scientifically engineered super soldier. We know he came from Tankus Village. It's a small village in the Land of Earth. You two will be going into the village undercover as a young recently married couple. Your home was destroyed, you are refugees. Hinata you will be using makeup to coverup your caged bird seal, and these blue contacts. Naruto, I assume you know a seal that can change your appearance much better than the transformation jutsu. I want the two of you to infiltrate, figure out who this man was, how Orochimaru and Kabuto got him, and make absolutely certain in won't happen again." Tsunade told them. "You leave tomorrow early in the morning. You are not to out yourselves as Leaf shinobi under any circumstances. You will be close to the Stone village. That being said, they still hate leaf Shinobi for the last world war. Especially you Naruto, as the son of Minato. It could start a political incident if you two were outed as active leaf shinobi. I'm sorry to send you two on such a difficult mission already, but I need this done right, you are the best team to do this. The strongest two-person man woman team I have to send in and look and act like a married couple. You two are already briefed on Namu and I don't want that going around very much. Everyone that has been told has been sworn to secrecy about it. Good luck you two, watch each other's backs and stay safe. This is extremely dangerous, and I hate sending you on this. I don't have much choice however."
