Yume whimpered once more, Naruto soothed her by licking her shoulder gently. "It's okay, we will be fine, we are safe." he said softly to her, to be honost Naruto himself was feeling sceared, religious cults had formed before, but nothing to the degree like this, and is seemed as though they had a death wish for him.
Naruto shivered, he was an importent person to the village, but that didn't mean they would stand by nad fight for him. Sure if he was Uzumaki Naruto, yes. But he wasn't that anymore he was Fluffy, he may be importent but he could be expendable.
"Burt what about the pups?" she asked suddenly "they will be fine" he told her, "they are safe here, no one no matter how strong can take on our village and be victorious, not even the nine-tailed fox." Yume nodded "I hope you are right, I hope they are safe."
Naruto assured her "they will be, and so will you, you haveme remember?" he said making a small smile form on her lips. He nudged her and they settled around each other for sleep.
Shikamaru stood before the Hokage, Kakashi, was silent for a long while before he spoke. "Okay, here is what we will do." Shikamaru listened intently. "I will contact both Gaara and the Raikage Killer Bee, and I will see if they have any information, then I will send one of the best spies we have."
Shikamaru nodded "excellent, we better make sure of what this is exactly before we jump to conclusions." Kakashi nodded agrreing with him "I suppose I had better withdraw any mission in that area, something tells me ninja from Konoha are not safe there."
Shikamaru nodded and left. Kakashi turned towards his windows and looked out upon his village, scanning it, then looking out to the horizon, dark clouds formed. "I wonder what kind of storm is coming" he said to himself silently.
The storm that came was very weak at first, the winds could barely even move the leaves. But the days went by and they slowly built up strength, the prophet and the followers of the Twelfth god grew in strength by traveling to small countries that held grudges against the leaf village.
Sound, Rock, River,Rice and all the small countries. All of them had always been pushed and shoved around, they had small numbers and were berated and controlled by the larger contries. They were lands filled with people that clung to traditonal ways, spurring away modern technologies and ideologies they banded together and formed a force that now began to hold a threat.
Kakashi had sent ambassadors, to see if they could make peace, Kakashi did not want another war, he did not want to see people he loved die anymore, it was a sad and awful thing. But his ambassadors either went missing, showed up dead or barely alive.
Kakashi had to push away his emotions, for on the battlefield and in war, one cannot have emotion. He sighed and resigned that he would have to contact and breath the contract that binded Suna and the Lightening country to him in war.
Both Suna and Kumo had told of the same sects within their lands as well. Some of Suna and Kumo nin had even went missing, beleived to have cut their ties and betray their countries. All in all the storm was growing and it was going to be a bad one.
Kakashi sighed, he knew war was coming, but he would not send his troops out to find it, he would wait. Wait for them to make the first move. Gaara and Bee agreed. The few spies they had sent to the base camps of the Twelfth followers had all sent back news that they would strike Konoha first.
So Kakashi told them that they would just wait and see if this rampent fire would burn itself out before it even started to burn the leaves.
However, not all was terrible in Konoha, in this darkening storm there were times when the sun peaked through the clouds to illuminate and bring to light a happy event. One of those events was the birth of three demon wolf pups.
Over the weeks Yume had gotten larger and larger as the life inside her unfolded and grew. Both parents were both worried and happy about the fact that they would bring new life into the world. However it seemed to feel to them as if that day would never come. Yume was anxtious and always uncomfertable all the time, she longed for the day when she would not have to menuver herself just to lie down.
Naruto helped out the best he could, make sure she was comfy, bring her food and bring her what she needed. He was always by her side. It wasn't for awhile befor she felt the pangs of longing for something, she felt restless, like she needed to search for something. So she would circle about the house and the yard looking for that thing, the4 thing she had no idea she was looking for.
Then the day happened, it wasn't any perticuler day, it was sunny and warm, but also had a nice cool breeze to it. Yume and Naruto were just sleeping when it happened, that small kick then the feeling afterwards in her stomach and in her heart when she knew, she just knew that the pups were on their way.
She turned to Naruto then and told him. He bolted up and ran for Kiba, who ran for his sister, while Hinata ran to Yume to help her. They situated Yume on a large clean mat. Naruto ran about fetching supplies as Hinata and Hana when she arrived listed them off in rapid speed. Naruto ran about until all supplies were gathered. Then he sat by Yume side and gave her encouragment and whispered words of love upon her, as he layed thosands of kisses upon her brow.
The first pup came quickly, it was a small little thing. Hana declared it a boy after sometime of cleaning it off. The pup squirmed about, it's eyes closed shut, the fur coloring was hard to disern since it was still wet, but it seemed to have either a dark blonde fur or light tan like his mothers only a shade or two darker.
Hana nestled the wreithing pup next to Yume's stomach Yume licked it once in recognition then began to push for the next pup on the way. Naruto licked both his first born son and his mate he felt happy feeling that small little heart-beat beneath him. Yume strained for another half hour before the next was born.
It was a larger pup compared to the other one who was already snuggling into Yume's side for milk. Hana declared that one a girl then placed it next to Yume's side as well. The girl had dark russet fur, but with a white chest and belly. She also had a small tip of white on her tail, and her ears had a little shade of black to the tips.
Naruto licked his daughter and breathed in her sweet scent. The last pup gladily came quickly, for he was the smallest of the litter. He barely spanned across Hana's two hands. However Hana declared that it was okay, and that with enough milk and love he would grow. He was a perfect little white fluff ball that began to whimper and moan quite loudly and quickly beat his sister to a teat for milk.
Naruto and Yume lay curled around each other and looked upon their pups, three perfect little pups. Kiba and Hinata congratulated them both and gave Yume a special tea to drink to help her recover. They then left the couple alone to name their pups. Naruto and Yume decided to go in order and looked to the pup who was born first. He had dried now and his coat was revealed to be a deep blonde like weat, he also had a white front left paw.
Naruto looked at him and the name came to him, the shade of the fur was just the same as his fathers hair. "Yume, I think we should call him Minato" Yume glanced to him "Minato, hnmmmm it sounds like a nice name, it flows good, is their a story to this name?" Naruto nodded "my fathers name...was Minato, he was strong and smart, and had the largest heart."
Yume nodded "yes, he sounds like a great wolf, very well...we shall name him Minato." Naruto licked her then little Minato. He whispered into the little pups ears "welcome to the world my son, my little Minato, you will grow to be a great wolf" the pup whimpered in answer. Naruto chuckled then turned to the next pup, the girl.
Yume spoke "I remember the stories that you spoke of, and your students, I always admired Gin, her caring and the love she could give, I would like to name her Gin, is that okay with you?." Naruto spoke up "Yes" he said almost crying "naming her Gin would be...beautiful, it would make me so happy."Yume licked Naruto then Gin.
Naruto nodded and licked his little Gin as well, then they turned to the youngest pup, "he reminds me of you so much, only his fur is more white then yours, it's pure and even whiter then snow." Naruto nodded "Ma, is pure, and snow is Shiro...how about...Mashi?" Yume nodded "yes, Mashi, it is perfect."
Naruto looked to his mate then to his pups, Minato,Gin and Mashi. They were perfect. It didn't matter if there was darkness forming or a storm coming, at the moment all that mattered to him in this very second was his mate and these little pups. He looked to the sunlight streaming through the window and he spoke "I will always protect you."
