Hey~ everybody! Dark0Insanity here bringing the third chapter of The Blind Nuke-nin ^^ It was a little hard for me to write this, but I managed to pull through and even finished it earlier than I planned ^u^

Review Response:

Silvenstien- Thank you :) I'm glad that you love the idea and to be honest... I already have chapters 4-7 done X3

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto charaters, I just own my OCs

Enjoy~!

~Naruto's age: 1~

I huffed, exhausted from practically chasing after the now-walking Naruto that wanted to grab everything in his reach and bite it to help soothe his gums. While I was exhausted, Naruto was acting like it was a game and was laughing, squirming to get out of my grip so he could keep playing.

"Where do you get your energy, fishcake?" I wondered out loud, placing the energetic one year old inside the high chair with practiced ease even if I was blind, with the exception of using chakra to see. After he was secured in the chair, I stumbled to the freezer and took out some frozen juice popsicles to help sooth his gums.

Okono snickered as I gave the frozen juice pop to Naruto which he instantly started bite, Are you regretting your decision?

I scoffed, No. Besides, I think I'm getting the hang of this. I thought as I wiped off Naruto's sticky hands and face before an idea came to my head.

What are you thinking? He asked reluctantly,

I grinned maniacally, We've already messed up the story line a ton so who's to say I can't take in two more tykes instead of one more?

I laughed as I felt Okono bang his head against the walls of my mind, You are going to get us killed. Painfully.

No I won't. I said with a smug tone. Besides, we won't find out until we try will we?

~Naruto's age: 2~

Physically, I was sitting in one of the training grounds in a meditation-like state as I sat cross-legged on one of the many rocks.

Mentally, Okono was reteaching me how to teleport and how to suppress my chakra since I was a bit rusty seeing as I was busy raising Naruto and I had to be ready by the time it was time to continue our plans.

I was suddenly yanked out of my mindscape by instinct when I felt another chakra signature enter the room; I recognized the chakra to be Naruto's.

"Hello Naruto, is something wrong?" I asked without moving from my rock, mentally chuckling when the two-year old jumped out of surprise.

"...I had a nigh'mare." Naruto said quietly, walking over to me with a recognizable fox stuffed animal that I had gotten for his birthday in his arms. I place a small bit of chakra on the surface so it wouldn't get dirty since he dragged it everywhere he went.

I opened my arms and helped him into my lap, my chin resting on top of his head as he leaned against me, seeking comfort in my warmth.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, my fingers gliding against his cheek and wiping away his tears.

"Promise you won't laugh?" He shifted until I felt his eyes on me.

"I promise."

He seemed to like the answer as he shifted back into his original position, "I don' remember a lo'... but there was a gian' fox in a cage and he was s'aring at me really meanly and he said something but I don' remember wha'." I hummed in thought, letting the blonde fidget with my scarf as I conversed with Okono.

I didn't think he would meet Kurama this soon. I admitted, gently combing my fingers through his long spiky hair... We need to get our hair cut soon since we usually get our hair cut once every other month and we were due for another trim.

Well we are messing up the plot a lot.

... True

So, we are going to pay my old friend an early visit?

I chuckled at Okono's obvious amusement, causing Naruto to look at me, "What did Kono-jiji say?" I had told Naruto about Okono when he was almost two, but only a bit. And now he calls him Grandpa or Kono-jiji much to my amusement and his annoyment.

"He said that he would like to meet the fox."

Naruto tilted his head to the side, "Why?"

I hummed, "Remember when I told you about the fox that was forced to do bad things because of a certain man was controlling him, but then got sealed?" He nodded, "Did I tell you who the fox got sealed into?"

He started shaking his head before stopping, "What do mean who?" I smirked, taking my index finger and poking his stomach, causing him to squirm and giggle at the assault to his sensitive tummy.

"Well, because the fox got sealed inside you when you were born." He stopped, and stayed silent.

"Why is he angry, Tou-san?"

I'm glad you took my eye sight, I don't think I could handle Naruto's puppy dog eyes. I admitted as he looked up at me with most likely puppy dog eyes.

You're welcome.

I twitched when I heard the smug tone in his voice, but didn't answer say anything back at him since Naruto was still expecting me to answer his question, "I think he's angry because he doesn't like being caged up. But I'm only guessing, would you like to meet him?"

"Y-You can do that?!" Naruto exclaimed.

I laughed and nodded, "Yup, but you have to stay completely still, alright?" Naruto bobbed his head up and down frantically. I slid both of us off of the rock and carried Naruto to the other training ground that mostly consisted of water along with a few waterfalls and to me, this is the most relaxing place I could think of that would help my little fish-cake into relaxing.

"What are we doing?" He asked, sitting on one of the islands that was in the water and directly across from me and practically an arms length away.

"We are going to be meditating."

"Why are we medi-medica-tha' word you said?"

An amused grin split my face as I coughed to cover the chuckles that managed to escape, "Meditating. And helps for relaxing the body and mind. It's also how I train with Okono."

I could just picture Naruto's face and eyes lighting up, "Really! I wanna try!"

I chuckled openly and helped the overly excited fish-cake into the meditating position and convinced him to stay still and stayed still myself until his chakra fell dormant, signaling that he was most likely in his mindscape and with Okono's instructions, I placed two fingers on Naruto's forehead and gently let my chakra flow into his head until I felt a sudden pull.

I opened my eyes and found myself in the sewers facing a giant cage with Naruto facing it and two huge red eyes staring down at him.

"Well if it isn't my jailer."

"He didn't choose to be your jailer you know." I stated catching the attention of the two.

"Tou-san!" Naruto grinned, running up to me before barreling into my legs.

"Hey Naru-chan." I looked at Kurama and examined the cage, noting how small it looked from the outside, "You looked cramped, need some help?"

Kurama looked at me, "Yeah, let me out of the brat."

I glared, "If you value your dignity, you better refrain from calling my son 'brat.'" Pride bubbled in my chest when I called Naruto my son.

The fox scoffed, "And why would I?"

"Because he's my jinchuuriki and the father of yours" I jumped from the all-too-familiar voice from behind me and turned to find Okono standing behind me, his body made of shadows like always and in the same almost human form as always. I scooted away from Okono's killer intent and closer to Naruto until I was close enough to pick him up as we both watched the two bijuus discuss amongst themselves.

"Tou-san?" Naruto whispered so he wouldn't catch the attention of the two seeing as they were in a pretty deep conversation

"Hm?"

"Who's the shadow-guy?" I had to fight down a laugh on that one.

"That's Okono, he looks like that because he doesn't like anyone seeing what he really looks like." Naruto nodded, watching the two converse before snapping his head back to me, staring at me with wide eyes, "What's wrong?"

He took his hand that wasn't holding on to me and made open my eyes wider, "I thought... aren't you... huh?"

I bit the inside of my lip to keep from laughing at his confused expression, "I might be blind in the outside world Naruto, but that doesn't mean that I'm blind in our mindscapes."

His confusion grew, "Mind... scapes?"

I nodded, my red eyes flickering with mischief, "Uh huh, right now we're in your mindscape. Whenever you're in your mindscape you can do a lot of things. Watch this." I focused on the water in between Okono and Kurama and it wasn't long until a pillar of water erupted straight up, startling them both.

"Really Yoru? Really?" Okono huffed after recovering from the slight shock as Naruto and I laughed

"Yes Okono, really. Besides Naru-chan wanted to know some of the things you could do in the mindscape."

"Don't get mad at Tou-san, Kono-jiji." Naruto said, grasping on to my scarf while trying to glare at him only to succeed in making it look like a pout.

I smirked when Naruto pulled the puppy dog eyes on the bijuus only to pull him in a protective embrace when an unreadable glint made itself own in Okono's eyes, I just barely catch myself before a growl slipped past.

Kurama chuckled, "I guess you were right Okono, so I guess I'll consider your offer."

My curiosity peaked, "What offer?" I asked, looking at the two. I was answered by silence until Naruto's stomach growled, his cheeks flushing in embarrassment. I smirked, "Well I guess that leads me to my next question: What time is it?"

"About nine o'clock in the morning." Okono replied. I nodded before turning to caged fox.

"We might not be able to let you out, but we can work on something to make it so that you don't have to be in a cage the whole time." He nodded, nothing else, just a nod. But I... guess it was in gratitude? I took the nod as a signal to exit Naruto's mindscape and was met with the sounds of the waterfalls surrounding us. Without getting up, I started working the knots out of my upper body until Naruto's chakra was no longer dormant.

"Tou-san?" Naruto asked sleepily

"Yes Naru-chan?"

Another growl was heard, "... I'm hungry."

I chuckled, lifting Naruto up and started making my way into the kitchen, "Then I guess we're going to have to fix that."

"Ramen!"

~Naruto's Age: 3~

"Tou-san! Tou-san! Tou-san!" I heard Naruto yell along with the sound of footsteps running down the hall towards my room. I sighed, setting my book aside and taking the time to get my clothes on without tying my hitae-ate around my neck and secured my kunai-filled pouch for when something happened. Remembering that it was around this time that we usually ran out of food.

I am so glad you forced me to start bounty hunting, Okono. I thought, even though I usually go after the ones that are easy for me to defeat without wasting a ton of chakra.

I told you it would come in handy. I rolled my eyes mentally and put up a fake relaxed mask in front of my neutral expression that had followed me from my other life just as Naruto burst through my door.

"We're out of food!"

I gasped dramatically, "We're out of food?! Oh no! What are we going to do!" I smirked when I heard the three-year old groan, "I guess we'll just have to fix that. Do you want to come with me?" Naruto stilled, he knew that I don't take very long getting our groceries, but I knew that he really wanted to come with for the longest time.

"A-Are you sure?"

I chuckled, walking over and patting his spikey - but very fluffy - head, "Yes I'm sure. Okono, Kurama, and I have been training you and I think you are more than ready to come grocery shopping with me."

I knew that he was practically beaming, "Arigatou Tou-san! I'll go get ready dattebayo!" I grinned at his verbal tic, knowing how excited he must be when it slips out. After calling to him about grabbing only a few kunai and only some explosive tags, I walked to the entrance of the base and slipped on my sandals. I was looking at the purple sheet of chakra when Naruto walked - more like ran - to me and slipped his sandals on with lightning fast speed.

"Are you ready?" Naruto nodded excitedly, "Okay, but first you have to wrap one end of my scarf around your mouth alright?" I could sense the confusion leaking off of him but he did what I asked. Once I was certain that the scarf was around him securely, I wrapped the scarf around my mouth and held onto Naruto tightly before gathering up my chakra at the base of my feet and jumped through the sheet and instantly started swimming upwards.

I knew that he was staring wide-eyed at everything around us. When we reached the surface, Naruto climbed to dry land and started jumping up and down.

"That was so cool! How come the water doesn't go through the wall like we do?" He wondered out loud.

I chuckled as Naruto grabbed my hand as we started walking towards the closest non-shinobi village which was only about twenty minutes away, "Well, the wall is made up of different chakra than the nature chakra that surrounds the house and it makes the water not want to touch it and keeps us dry."

"What kind of chakra is it?"

"It's actually Okono's." I could practically feel the questions and confusion leaking out of him, "Before you were born, I had gotten injured pretty badly. Okono thought it would be best if I stayed in my mindscape while he took over. And I can guess that while we switched places, he made our home and hid it pretty well since the first time I was there I didn't even sense the entrance or anything else."

... Not far from the truth but I did leave some parts out.

"Ooh." Naruto said, even though I knew that he had more questions, he didn't press any farther and started to marvel and the scenery.

It wasn't long before we passed through the town gates. I didn't know the name of said village, but I did know that it was a non-shinobi village and the townspeople had no interest in it becoming one.

"Oh, is that Yuu I see?" I stopped eruptedly and turned to where the voice was coming from.

I smiled kindly at the familiar old voice, "Yup, it's nice to hear you Obaa-chan."

I sensed confusion leaking off of Naruto once more, "That's your Grandma?"

I heard chuckling coming from the old woman before I could answer Naruto, "Oh no child, it's just that everyone here calls me Obaa-chan seeing as I am the eldest in this village and it seems as though your father caught it as well." I felt my cheeks heat up as I pulled off a pout, causing both of them to laugh softly.

"It's not my fault." I muttered before speaking clearly towards the elder, "Has anything happened within the last year, Obaa-chan?"

She hummed in though, "Nothing comes to mind Yuu, but there was an odd-looking fellow with stitches covering his body and had on a black cloak with some red clouds on it strolling through town earlier today. Not sure if he left though."

I paled, "I see, well it was nice talking to you again. We have some grocery shopping to complete."

"Oh alright, but you should visit more often. The day's more exciting with you around."

I chuckled, "I'll try."

"Bye Obaa-chan!" Naruto waved to the elder who returned the wave and we started walking towards the open market to get our supplies.

"Do you have the list, Naruto?"

"Yup!" I grinned as he pulled out a list with the ink and paper infused with chakra, allowing me to write the things needed without help.

"Good-" I tensed, the feeling of being watched made my nerves go into over drive but I pretended that nothing was wrong and continued without a pause, "-job Naruto. Now where should we begin?"

"Can we start with ramen?"

I chuckled, "Sure." We got bored with just plain old grocery shopping after about five minutes of going from store to store, I came up with a game that practices stealth. There are two teams.

Guards and Thieves.

The purpose of the game is for the Thieves to get what ever the Guards are protecting without being seen. If you are seen, you lose. If you manage to get the object without being seen, you win. And this also helps Naruto with his stealth skills. When I asked the Store Manager if it was alright for us to play the game in his store, he agreed and told everyone in the store about it and thankfully they reacted positively.

With the everyone in the store the 'Guards' and us being the only 'Thieves' it ended up being really helpful for Naruto gain better control over his chakra and very entertaining for the civilians to try to find us. We own when we managed to pay for the groceries with the right amount of money and got out without being noticed, the only time anyone saw us was when we revealed ourselves outside of the store with our bags of groceries.

"Thank you for participating. Hope we can do it again some time." Naruto said his goodbyes and we both exited the village after sealing the food in containment scrolls and slipping them. I noticed another chakra signature following us out of the village.

Okono... I trailed off, my body visibly tensing ready for any attack that would - and possibly will - happen at any time.

I noticed, I could hear the tenseness in his voice, Grab the blond and start heading towards the field to your left. Try to make it as unsuspicious as possible.

I looked down at the three-year-old, a tiny plan already forming in my brain, "Hey Naruto?"

"Yes Tou-san?"

"Would you like to see something while we're out? I've came across it a few times in the past and I really think you'll like it."

"Sure!" I smiled, lifting him up and placed him on my back. He instinctively wrapped his arms around my neck enough to not fall off, but still allowing me to breathe normally.

"Ready?" I felt Naruto nod his head and I took to the trees. I heard him gasp at the sudden speed and felt him burrow his head into the junction where my neck meets my shoulder, "It's okay Naruto. I'm not going to drop you, but if you don't open your eyes your going to miss the view." I said gently as the person followed us and was currently jumping from branch to branch like me. A soft smile adorned my face when I heard a soft gasp filled with amazement.

Quick question.

Shoot.

Seeing as I'm a ninja, and pretty much every ninja out here has a bounty on their heads. How high is mine? I asked, finally stopping in the middle of the field and let the fish-cake down.

It's... fairly high.

He hesitated. Not a good sign.

I almost dreaded the answer I was going to get with my next question, High enough to get the attention of a certain miser?

Definitely.

I held back a few whimpers, I most defiantly did not want to face Kakuzu right now.

I had Naruto with me and that could only give him an advantage over me. I let Naruto run around the vast field for a while, Kakuzu's chakra signature drawing closer with every passing second.

What surprised me next was when I saw Naruto's chakra flutter at the corner of my vision and instantly after, he ran up to me and hung on to my leg like a life-line.

"Naruto?" I whispered, kneeling down to his height. He didn't respond and instead gripped me tighter.

"I finally found you, Eyeless Demon of the Snow." My hand twitched, instinctively moving closer to the kunais stored in my pouch. Kakuzu was standing a few meters behind me. I was just glad my body hide Naruto from his view.

For now at least.

"'Eyeless Demon of the Snow,' huh? So that's what they decided to call me. Could've chosen a better name, but what's done is done I suppose." I shrugged, an air of confidence around me.

Where'd you get the sudden confidence from pup?

I have no idea I'm just internally freaking out is all. I stood up with Naruto in my arms, wrapping the scarf around him before facing Kakuzu.

The miser scoffed, "As long as I get money I could care less about the names, but unfortunately that's not why I'm here."

...Eh?

I have a feeling I know where this is going...

... Don't tell me...

"I came to either force or accept you into the Akatsuki. The leader would've done this but we've searched a very long time for you. So, will you join?" I shifted my weight from foot to foot, making seem like I was thinking about it but really I was getting ready to test out my new jutsu.

Damn it, when did we get the attention of the Akatsuki?

I might've done something. I resisted the urge to introduce my palm to my face.

The seals to make our home impossible to enter if the person's an intruder are already placed right?

Yup, took control of your body and placed them while you were sleeping. But you may want to answer the miser soon, his threads are starting to come out.

"As tempting as the offer might be miser-san," I planted both feet on the ground and my chakra swirled around me, "I'm going to have to decline."

I disappeared into the ground in a flash, leaving behind furious Kakuzu behind me.

~Naruto's Age: 4~

Almost time for our little family to grow, Okono. I said out of nerves, mostly because I was worried that something could go horribly wrong and I would be detained and Naruto would be taken away from me.

You're going to be fine Yoru, and as long as you remember what to do when the situation arises we'll be fine.

I sighed, But what about Naruto? I just can't leave him here, I've had to run away from Kakuzu about five times in the past year or so and I'm not going to be very happy if he finds Naruto.

Okono huffed, Did you cover your tracks?

Yes.

Did you place seals around the base so that Zetsu or anyone else can't get in?

Yes.

Then as long as you keep teleporting to a minimum and cover your tracks, nothing will go wrong.

I ran my fingers through my hair that I had cut short thanks to the barber of the neighboring village. After thinking through the plans once again, I grabbed my hitae-ate and tied it around my neck before walking to the living room where I felt Naruto's chakra coming from.

"Tou-san! Are you going somewhere?" Naruto asked, looking up from the table to look at me.

I patted his head, "I'm going to the Land of Wind to pick someone up so I might be gone for an hour or two at most."

"Are you going to be teleporting there?"

Nodding, I answered, "Yeah, but even with me teleporting it's going to take a while for me to come back. Alright?"

"Un! I'll make sure no one comes in and if they do, then they'll have to deal with me!"

I chuckled at his enthusiasm, "That's my boy. Be good and don't destroy the house while I'm gone."

"I won't!" I stepped back from Naruto and with one last wave, I sunk into the ground Zetsu style.

Man I love this jutsu.
