Chapter 4
The day finally came for the Chunin Exam and Team 7 was excited to give it a go. Kakashi and Naruko met them at the starting place for the exam.
"Kakashi-Sensei? Naruko-Sensei? What are you two doing here?" Sakura asked.
"I have watch my team." Kakashi stated.
"I am part of the medical staff for the exam in case someone gets hurt." Naruko stated.
"That makes sense about Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto said.
"But what Naruko-Sensei then, Dobe?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, she's a medical ninja and there's a part of the test where medical ninjas are needed." Sakura suggested.
"That's correct, Sakura." Naruko said.
"What do you mean, Naruko-nee?" Naruto asked.
"There are three parts to the Chunin Exam; however, it may have changed since Kakashi and myself have taken it because it has to be updated every so often." Naruko said.
Suddenly, they heard the most annoying voice which was Lee who was with his teammates.
"SO YOU ALL ARE GOING FOR THE EXAM?!" Lee asked.
Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura nodded.
Naruko turned to Kakashi and said, "Wolf, I'll see you soon because I've to get the medical station ready."
Kakashi looked at Naruko and said, "Vixen, you know how crazy it is going to be today."
Naruko glared at Kakashi and said, "I'm aware, Wolf. Since when has our life as ninja not been crazy."
Kakashi chuckled as he watched Naruko leave. Then Kakashi turned to his team and said, "Good Luck with the exam." as he left.
After Kakashi had left; Sasuke and Lee got into it with each other. Sakura and Naruto was watching the whole thing until a turtle appeared along with Guy-Sensei. They watched as Guy-Sensei took Lee away then they went up the stairs and stood in front of what looked like stone doors. Then they saw Kakashi standing at the stone doors.
"Sensei?!" The three questioned.
"Sorry, for leaving quickly as I did earlier; but I am proud of the three of you." Kakashi said.
Kakashi moved away from the doors and watched as the his team go through those doors; he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if he had Naruko had children and then watch them go through those same doors as his team. He also wondered if he would make a good father because he had a feeling that Naruko would make a good mother since she thought of his team as their kids in a strange way; but Naruto saw Naruko as an elder sister and Sakura as well as Sasuke saw Naruko as a Jounin Instructor just like he was.
Then he realized that he would have to join his team at the next part of the exam which was the fighting areana; where his team would be paired up individually with a different Genin to fight against. Some would be from Konoha and others would be from other ninja villages. He made is way to next event to meet up with his team.
...Meanwhile at the Medical Station...
Naruko was fixing things to prepare for the upcoming event which was like a faceoff to see how the Genins had grown with their Jounin Instructors in their skills. She knew that three sand sibylings from Sunagakure were here as well and she was aware that Gaara was the Jinchuriki of Shukaku, the One-Tailed beast. She also knew that the tailed beasts would know that she is the daughter of the nine-tails automactically.
"Naruko?"
Naruko turned to see it was the Hokage and asked, "How can I help you, Hokage-sama?"
"Do you believe that Kakashi's Team is really ready for this? I want your oppion." Hiruzen asked.
"I do think that they're ready for this. They have proving the even Genins can take higher ranked missions not just low rank missions. Also, believe that Minato-sama and Kushina-sama would be proud of their son as well as a former student. If you get my meaning, Hokage-sama." Naruko stated.
"You're right." Hiruzen said.
"Also, Hokage-sama, there's a snake near by and he's after Sasuke." Naruko stated.
Hiruzen looked at her questioningly.
"I understand that he was once your student but the choice will be Sasuke's." Naruko stated.
Hiruzen sighed and said, "Kakashi, wasn't joking when he said you had a six sense about things."
Naruko smiled and said, "I don't keep anything from my husband; besides he likes the mystery that I have at times."
"That's saying something." Hiruzen chuckled.
"I suppose so." Naruko said, "I also enjoy the mystery that he has as well."
Hiruzen just shook his head.
"You're pretty sneaky by sending them sending them on that one high class mission even if the guy lied." Naruko stated.
"Touche." Hiruzen said, "Now, I must get ready for the skills event."
Naruko nodded and the said, "I'll probably be there in a second."
Hiruzen nodded.
~Meanwhile~
Team 7 was working on the first part of the exam which was the written part. Everyone was doing their best on the written part of the exam. Naruto, however was a little bit distracted because he had always hated written exams. He knew that Naruko-nee, Kakashi-Sensei and Iruka-nii would want him to try his best; so he would do his best.
While other Genins were also doing their best or cheating. Some of the Genins where finished with the written exam while others were still working on it. Then they were put through the interrigation process of the exam to see who would move on to the next part of the exam. From the 200+ Genins entered the room and only 115 Genins got to go to the next round; and that included Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke.
It was now time, for the Genins to be paired with who they be facing against. Kakashi was in the stands with Naruko standing beside him while his team approached him and her.
"Naruko, is there something the matter?" Kakashi questioned her.
Naruko leaned over and whispered into his ear, "The snake is here and he's after Sasuke."
"Don't say anything else." Kakashi said noticing that Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were approaching them.
Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke sat down with Kakashi and Naruko. As they watched who was going to be facing who in the areana.
...With the Sand Syblings...
Temari, Kankuro and Gaara were sitting with each other; when Gaara sensed the one-tail was uneasy about something that he retreated into his mindscape.
'Why are you uneasy?' Gaara asked the creature.
'The man with silver hair is mated to the daughter of the nine-tails.' The creature responded.
'WHAT?!' Gaara said.
'Not that it will do you any good but my name is Shukaku and I'm the one-tail.' The creature stated.
'I don't understand?' Gaara said.
'The nine-tails is family. However, before we were captured and put in vessels better known as the Jinchurikis; The nine-tails decided to take a human mate. We don't the status of his human mate, but his daughter is mated to the silver-haired one that has one of his eyes covered.' Shukaku stated.
'I still don't understand.' Gaara said.
'The female medical ninja that they call 'Naruko' is the daughter of the nine-tails and the silver haired ninja that they call 'Kakashi' is the wolf that has mated the nine-tails' daughter. She is aware of the Jinchurikis as well as all of the tailed beats.' Shukaku stated.
'So?' Gaara said.
Gaara and Shukaku continued talking to each other.
Temari and her other brother, Kankuro wondered why their little brother, Gaara was zoned out. However, they continued to watch who was going against who.
...Back with Kakashi and his team along with Naruko...
Naruko was sitting with her husband and his team. Naruto was jumping up and down with excitement well what appeared to be excitement while the other two trying to take it seriously.
"Naruto, calm down. I know that you're excited." Naruko stated sternly.
"Yes, Naruko-nee." Naruto said.
Sasuke and Sakura were surprised that Naruto listened to Naruko-Sensei.
Kakashi chuckled at Sasuke's and Sakura's shock of their blonde teammate listening to Naruko.
"What's so funny, Kakashi-Sensei?" Sasuke asked looking at Kakashi.
"Naruto, only listens to certain people that he considers like family to him." Kakashi stated.
"Like you?" Sakura asked.
"Naruko is one of them that he considers family along with a few others." Kakashi stated.
They watched as a lot of the Genins were fighting the person that they were to fight. Then they watched as Ino and Sakura faced off with each other in which Naruko thought of it as sort of like a cat fight. Then Naruto and Neji were up next to fight each other.
"Naruko?" Kakashi said.
"Hm?" Naruko said looking at Kakashi.
"You seem like something is going to happen." Kakashi said quietly to her.
"I have a feeling that Naruto will try and tap into my father's chakra." Naruko said quietly for only Kakashi to hear.
Kakashi was stunned because only he and the hokage knew that Naruko was the daughter of the nine-tails.
Suddenly, they were approached by the three Suna Genins.
Naruko turned to face them and so did Kakashi.
"Maa...can we help you?" Kakashi asked.
"We are the sand syblings." Temari stated.
"It's nice to meet you three." Naruko said with smile.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Gaara asked Naruko.
"Why should I be, young man? You have a great responsiblity placed on you just like Naruto does." Naruko said calmly looking at Gaara.
The three syblings were looking at each other then back to the young woman confused.
Kakashi remembered that Naruko said that she could sense the other tailed beasts and this young man named Gaara contained a tailed beast as well. Then he watched as Naruko turned from Gaara and his syblings back to the Hokage's box and he knew that something was bothering her.
"Maa...I'm sorry but something seems to have caught my wife's attention." Kakashi apologized to the three syblings.
The syblings were stunned at what the silver haired ninja had just said.
Then they heared her say, "Kakashi, there's a snake in our mist."
Kakashi was stunned to hear that Orochimaru was here of all places and he wondered if that had something to do with the feeling that she had earlier.
~(Time Skip) Three years later~
Naruto was returning to Konoha after training three long years with Jiraiya. He was happy to be back in Konoha. He met up with all his friends that he made then he started heading to the Hokage Tower with Jiraiya to talk with the 5th Hokage. He wonder how Naruko and Kakashi-Sensei were since he had been gone; he couldn't help and wonder if Naruko-nee and Kakashi-Sensei had a kid yet or not. He also had a new Icha Icha Book to give to Kakashi-Sensei.
...The Hokage Tower...
Naruko was giving her report to Tsunade and Sakura was there as well along with Shinzue.
"It's amazing that you and Kakashi are married but don't have any brats of your own yet, Naruko." Tsunade stated.
"Starting a family takes time to prepare for and I don't like to rush things and neither does Kakashi. However, we might start a family when actually feel ready for it." Naruko said, "In the mean time, Team 7 feels the void for now."
Sakura was surprised to hear that.
"So from what I understand is that you thought of Team 7 like your kids?" Tsunade questioned.
Naruko nodded.
"Then with Sasuke out there; how do you feel?" Tsunade asked.
Naruko sighed and said, "It's not easy knowing that a child at a young age made a decision like he did and it hurts because he had people that cared about him a lot. Kids make their own decisions wiether that decision is good or bad."
"Naruko-Sensei, I had no idea that you thought of us as family." Sakura stated.
Naruko smiled and said, "Only my husband knew because of my reactions to when you all returned from a certain mission given to you by the 3rd Hokage."
"That would explain the new window that was eventually made." Tsunade stated.
Naruko nodded.
At that moment, Jiraiya walked in with Naruto.
"Naruko-nee!" Naruto said.
Naruko turned to see Naruto and smiled as Naruto gave her a hug.
"Little brother, how was your training for three years?" Naruko asked returning the hug.
"It's was all good. Pervy-sage even had me look over his draft the of his new book that Kakashi-nii...I mean Kakashi-Sensei likes." Naruto said.
Tsunade and Sakura were shocked that Naruto had called Kakashi is brother for a moment.
"Kakashi is on his way here now, Naruto." Naruko said.
"Okay." Naruto said as went out the window to meet him.
Naruko immedately turned and faced Jiraiya.
Jiraiya gulped at the look that Naruko was giving him.
Shinzue, Sakura and Tsunade were surprised to see Jiraiya scared of Naruko.
Tsunade and Sakura went to look out the to see Kakashi's reaction to the new book. While inside, Shinzue witnessed Naruko take Jiraiya down immedately and said in a low growl, "Be glad Kakashi isn't here yet or your fate would be much worse. Also, he better not have Naruto let Naruto do something that I would've not to do."
Jiraiya knew that he had to tell Naruko about him asking Naruto to perform his sexy jitsu to help with his new book and he did which caused him a world of pain.
...Ouside...
Kakashi had just landed in front of Naruto.
"Yo, Naruto." Kakashi said.
"Hi, Kakashi-nii." Naruto said.
Sakura and Tsunade were watching and wondering how Kakashi was going to react to be called 'Kakashi-nii' by Naruto all of the sudden.
"Maa...Naruto, what are you calling me Kakashi-nii for?" Kakashi asked curiously.
"Well, you are married to Naruko-nee; so why not even though you still are my sensei." Naruto stated.
"I can live with that." Kakashi stated.
"Here." Naruto said handing Kakashi a book, "Icha Icha Tactics."
Kakashi was surprised and said, "What?!" as he opened it. Then Kakashi let out a low growl and entered the office.
When he entered he noticed that Jiraiya was on the floor then he saw Naruko and walked over to her knowing that she was upset.
"What did you do, pervy-sage?" Naruto questioned.
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and said, "I was punished for asking you to do something that you weren't supposed to."
Naruto gulped as he realized what the pervy-sage said and walked over to Kakashi and Naruko. He started explaining everything to them. Naruko and Kakashi listened to Naruto as he explained the whole thing to them.
Tsunade helped Jiraiya up off the floor when she heard, "Naruto, you know how I feel about you doing your unique jitsu."
"I know, Naruko-nee. It was just a one time thing to help him out with his book and I'm sorry. I know you told me that it would probably get me into trouble." Naruto answered.
"How often did you use the jitsu, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"A few times at the most, Kakashi-nii." Naruto answered.
Naruko sighed and said, "I know that you created that jitsu just to cheer me up when I couldn't talk, Naruto. Just use the jitsu for something better than for that pervy-sage, okay?"
"I promise, Naruko-nee and Kakashi-nii." Naruto said.
Sakura wanted to hit Naruto over the head.
Jiraiya knew that he had to apologize and said, "Naruko, I'm sorry because I didn't know that he had promised not to use the jitsu."
Naruko faced Jiraiya and said, "Next time, it won't be me or Kakashi that you have to worry about because I'm pretty sure the nine-tails was upset as well."
Tsunade realized what Naruko was saying.
Sakura was stunned by what Naruko-Sensei had said.
Naruto knew what Naruko was referring to because the nine-tails from what Naruko told him before he had left with Jiraiya was that the nine-tails well Kurama considered him a son since she considered him a little brother. He also knew that since Kakashi married Naruko that would make Kakashi-Sensei his brother-in-law since he married his sister, Naruko who he really did consider as a sister regardless of her being a princess.
"If I didn't know any better; it's like Kakashi-Sensei and Naruko-Sensei act like parents that worry about Naruto. Wel that's what it seems like to me anyway." Sakura stated.
Tsunade had to agree with Sakura on that note; but they were more like a sister and brother to Naruto.
Naruto motioned to Kakashi to speak with him privately for a few minutes.
Naruko raised a brow at this because usually Naruto would question both of them about kids; however, she had a feeling that it was something personal nature.
...Naruto's and Kakashi's private conversation in a privacy barrier...
"Kakashi-nii, can I ask you something?" Naruto said.
"Maa...Naruto, Naruko and I will decided when we are ready to start a family." Kakashi said knowing what the conversation would be.
"True, I wanted to know about that at first but I want to know something else. I can't understand why Hinata always blushes or even faints around me." Naruto said.
Kakashi knew that he and Naruko were aware that Hinata had been crushing on Naruto since they were young. He wasn't expecting to have this sort of talk with Naruto right now; but he figured that he would have to have the talk with Naruto sooner or later.
"Maa...Naruto, some young women react differently to the men that are crushing on or in love with." Kakashi said.
"You think that Hinata is crushing on me or even is in love with me?" Naruto questioned.
"Maa...it's a possiblity, Naruto." Kakashi said.
"When Naruko-nee confessed to you how did you handle it? Or even had feelings for you?" Naruto asked Kakashi.
Kakashi wasn't exactly expecting that but he figured that telling Naruto couldn't hurt and said, "Maa...Naruto, understand that the moment that Naruko came into my life; she automatically trusted me, the 3rd Hokage and Yamato. I was only 16 at the time and she barely knew me but she still trusted me regardless of it. We were friends first and our friendship became something more; however, Naruko became a Class S secret considering that she is the daughter of the nine-tails. When we finally admitted our feelings; Naruko told me that she didn't want to rush the relationship and I agreed with her." Kakashi said.
"How long did it take?" Naruto asked.
"Maa...Naruto, understand that we had to come up with a story for Naruko but it was before we went on a mission that I actually got an engagement ring for Naruko." Kakashi said.
"You mean that you told us when we were ten?" Naruto questioned.
Kakashi nodded.
Naruto and Kakashi continued talking in the barrier.
...Outside of the barrier...
"What's going on?" Tsunade asked.
"Apparently, Naruto wanted to talk to Kakashi about something." Naruko said.
"So, Naruko when are you and Kakashi going to have brats of your own?" Tsunade questioned.
Naruko blushed at the question but said, "When we feel that we are actually ready to start a family."
"I guess you two don't feel ready right now then." Tsunade stated.
Naruko sighed and said, "Kakashi is my husband and I understand that he feels that this isn't the right time."
"Well, you and Kakashi have a problem on your hands then." Tsunade said.
"What do you mean, Hokage-sama?" Naruko questioned.
"Well the council knows that you're married and are expecting you to have a child real soon." Tsunade said.
Naruko didn't like that the sound of that.
"Oh shit!" Tsunade said suddenly because she forgot Naruko's temper.
Sakura, Shinzue, Jiraiya and Tsunade took cover as well as the Anbu guards behind the Hokage's desk.
"Good thing, Kakashi-Sensei and Naruto are in the barrier." Sakura said.
"Can that barrier hold?" Jiraiya questioned.
...Back in the Barrier with Kakashi and Naruto...
Kakashi froze as he felt Naruko's temper rising and so did Naruto.
"Kakashi-nii, what's going on?" Naruto asked.
"I believe that someone has upset Naruko and the barrier is protecting us. However, I don't know about everyone outside this barrier." Kakashi stated.
"I wonder what set her off this time?" Naruto questioned.
"Maa...I would have to guess it would be the council of elders because some how they found out that we had been married secretly by the 3rd Hokage." Kakashi stated.
Naruto looked at Kakashi and asked, "Does that mean that they'll try to make you and Naruko-nee go ahead and have a kid?"
"Maa...they can try but Naruko taught herself all of the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero's tricks as well as the Yellow Flash's tricks." Kakashi stated.
"You mean, she learned my parents' techiques!" Naruto said.
Kakashi nodded.
"Why?" Naruto questioned.
"She figured that she could help you learn the techniques that your parents knew; so she learned them herself in order to help you." Kakashi said.
"I would like that." Naruto stated.
"I knew you would." Kakashi said.
So, Kakashi broke the private barrier and walked over to Naruko and simply gave her a kiss on her cloth covered lips which caused Sakura to blush.
Tsunade was actually stunned that Kakashi was able to calm Naruko down with a single kiss and so was Jiraiya.
Naruto, however knew that was the only way that Kakashi was the only one that could calm Naruko down and so did a few others.
"I still don't see how you do that, Kakashi-Sensei." Sakura said.
"Maa...Sakura, it's just something that Naruko and I have." Kakashi stated wrapping his arms around Naruko's waist.
Naruko blushed at what Kakashi stated then faced him saying, "Kakashi, you're the only pervert in my life and it's going to stay that way."
Kakashi blushed at Naruko calling him a pervert but smiled when she said that he was the only pervert for her and it was going to stay that way.
Jiraiya was amazed how two of the top Jounin Ninjas could be in love with each other so much that a simple kiss could calm them down regardless of their secret.
"I'm assuming that you know why Naruko was upset, Kakashi?" Tsunade questioned.
Kakashi looked at Tsunade and said, "Maa...it's not that hard to figure out, Hokage-sama. I don't blame her really because it's not exactly easy especially if you don't understand things or the reason why she would chose to wait for the right moment."
"What do you mean, Kakashi?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"Naruko has an uneasy feeling about something and I've learned in the past that when she has an easy feeling is to never doubt it." Kakashi stated seriously.
Tsunade was surprised that Kakashi had that much faith in his wife and then asked, "But if the pregancy happens before or during the uneasy situation?"
"Kakashi and I have plan should that happen, Hokage-sama. However, the council should realize not to force things because even creating a baby takes time and sometimes it doesn't happen right away." Naruko finally replied.
Tsunade was shocked by Naruko's reply.
Kakashi chuckled because Naruko was right about it taking time for a baby to be created and it also takes nine months to carry the baby.
"What uneasy feeling could Naruko possibly have?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
Kakashi looked at Jiraiya and said, "The uneasy feeling usually involves a mission but this one is completely different. It's an uneasy feeling that someone or something may cause a 4th Shinobi War and why she has that feeling; I don't know but I'm not going to question it."
Naruto and Sakura was stunned to hear that as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"Sometimes these uneasy feelings happen and sometimes they don't but she is still leary about them regardless." Kakashi said.
~Back to the Future inside the Morg (The past merging with the future slowly)~
Sakura, Guy, Tsunade and Sasuke were still confused at to where Naruto could have gone.
Sakura looked at Kakashi and noticed that there was wedding ring all of the sudden and asked, "When did Kakashi-Sensei get married?"
Sasuke, Guy and Tsunade looked and sure enough there was a wedding ring on Kakashi's ring finger.
"YOSH! THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE!" Guy said.
"No, it wasn't." Tsunade said.
Suddenly, the door opened and in walked a blonde male with blue eyes and he was holding a little girl in his arms.
"Who are you?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"Geez, teme, I was only away on a mission and suddenly everyone in the village is acting strange." The blonde male said as he put the little girl down.
"DADDY!" The little girl screamed approching Kakashi's body.
"Aurora-san, your mother will be here in a second to release the jutsu." The blonde said.
The little girl turned to the blonde male and said, "Uncle Naruto, why is daddy sleeping when he should be running the village?"
Sasuke heard the guy say the word 'Jutsu' in front of the little girl.
The other three heard the little girl say 'daddy' and 'Uncle Naruto'.
Suddenly, they heard, "SLEEPING JUTSU RELEASE!"
Then they heard a groan coming from the slab and turned to see Kakashi sitting up which the three of them turned pale white.
"Naruko, sometimes I wonder why you came up with that jutsu." Kakashi groaned.
"Well, we managed to get the guy finally and Naruto helped me. We just didn't expect it to take five days. Usually, we had never tested the jutsu for more than two days." Naruko said.
"Daddy!" The little girl said jumping up into Kakashi's arms.
"Hello, little silver vixen." Kakashi said hugging his daughter.
"Daddy, only you and mommy call me that but my name is Aurora." The little girl said.
Kakashi smiled at his daughter happily.
Naruko noticed the looks that her, Kakashi and Naruto were getting and said, "Geez, you three weren't aware that Naruto had used the sexy jutsu to be me for a while then disappeared?"
"Huh?" was all they could say.
Kakashi chuckled as two of his former students were confused.
"Mommy, why don't they remember anything?" Aurora asked.
"That's probably your grandfather's doing." Naruko said.
"Your father does like playing pranks but I think that this takes the cake, Naruko." Kakashi said looking at his wife.
Aurora giggled at her parents.
"Hokage-sama, your alive?!" Yamato screamed.
Naruko, Kakashi, Naruto and Aurora chuckled at Yamato's reaction.
"What's so funny?" Yamato questioned.
"After all these years, Yamato; you still can't tell the difference from my wife's jutsu and mine." Kakashi stated.
Yamato looked at Kakashi and Naruko then said, "I'll never understand you two."
Kakashi and Naruko chuckled and walked out of the morg with their daughter.
Sakura and the other three watched as the 6th Hokage and a woman who appeared to be his wife along with a little girl walked out of the morg.
Sasuke looked at Naruto and said, "What's going on here?!"
"Teme, how could you forget Kakashi-Sensei's wife and child? I mean seriously Naruko had been kidnapped during the 4th Shinobi war while she was pregnanet with Aurora-san. Kakashi-Sensei nearly passed out from the shock when learned that Naruko had been kidnapped while pregnanet and got really upset that someone had managed to get to her while she was in the village." Naruto said.
"WHAT?!" Sakura said in shock.
"It was crazy because Naruko had been missing for at least 3 months. The only reason that no one knew that she was pregnanet at the time was because she used most of her chakra to protect her's and Kakashi's unbor child." Naruto said.
