"So, what are you going to do now?" Zetsu asked, amused by the little act from Madara.
'Even at his age, he still acts like a goddamn kid,'
"I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait until Naruto delivers and then, kidnap the baby and train him myself." He smirked.

Chapter Eight— Unconditional Love
-7th month in Naruto's pregnancy-
It was May; the weather hot, and humid. Konoha, which had the nicest weather from all the villages, was sweating and worry due the extreme temperatures.
People were in lakes, beaches; anywhere where water was enough and so you could enjoy the weather.
Shinobi, who were off duty, were relaxing with friends and lovers.
Or simply, enjoying the cool waters.
Just like Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyuuga Neji were doing right now.
Naruto, wearing blue shorts, no shirt; proudly showing, his now large size belly out in the open for everyone to see.
"God, this weather is going to kill me one day!" an exhausted blond said.
Naruto lay down, on the hot sand, drinking cold-ice water, rubbing his belly, smoothly.
"Well, it was you who wanted to come, not me." Neji said, smiling at Naruto.
Neji had black shorts, his silky hair undone, and his sexy-god like abs, exposing to the hungry female population around them.
"Hmph.
It was then, that they spotted the Sakura and Sai, walking along and talking.
"I'm sorry for been late it was Sai's-"
"It was Sakura's fault for showing me, like 5 different bikinis . . . and I ended up fuckin her right there-"
"OUCHH! GOD-WHY?" he yelled, in pain; rubbing the abuse area and glaring at his girl.
Yes. His, girlfriend.
"You don't have to give details you fuckin pervert!" she blushed.
"Pervert? You called me a pervert, when you're the one who comes up with more kinky tricks that any man- that I have met- could ever know."
Both Naruto and Neji laughed.
Now, Sakura's face could rival her unique color of hair.
"SAI-SHUT UP!"
-SasuNaru-
-Naruto's POV-
It's been almost two months since Neji and I started dating.
And to be honest, I'm the happiest man alive.
Thanks to him.
He's been there for me, beside me, holding on my hand-never letting go.
I can truly say that I'm starting to love him.
Yes, I still- l-like Sasuke-yes I know; he raped me, left me and did all the other horrible things but . . . my love for him was strong to the point of me pretending that nothing ever happened and letting those memories behind; and instead, I faked my hatred towards him but only god knows how deeply in love I was with him.
I know that if I see him, I'd probably smile at him – instead of charging at him or cursing at him.
Why?
Because what's the point of revenge, if the feeling would fade away; leaving you with nothing, only regrets.
I might forgive him someday – haha, yes, I'd have a decent conversation with him, but that doesn't mean that I forgive him for what he did to me.
Well, time will tell and, you may never know. . . Maybe, just maybe, he comes back to Konoha to stay.
Haha- that was hilarious.
Even if Sasuke comes back, begging for a chance to be with me- which I doubt it- I do not think I'd do it- I least right away.
Is going to take months and of course, Neji would have to move somewhere else for me to actually accept Sasuke . . . because I know, he's not going to give in that easily, just like me with Neji.
I just hope that Sasuke would stay away, hope he'll find a home and never bring his sorry ass back to Konoha.
My future is with Neji and he'll be the father of my son that I, once, hope Sasuke to be.
-End OF Naruto's POV-
-SasuNaru-
-Neji's POV-
Oh-my . . . this couple weeks, months- had been amazing.
I'm the luckiest man alive- to have an opportunity to be with an amazing person, friend and lover like Naruto.
I might sound cruel and an ass, but, I have to thanked Sasuke for destroying his last chance with him, giving me a chance to prove him that Sasuke is not the only option and that there was someone else who loves him- even more than Sasuke well, I don't think that you can called that love.
I know. . . I deserve and punch for that comment . . . but if you could see how happy he is, then you'll agree with me.
I worked so hard to make him happy, to heal those wounds that still are half-open and to make our future brighter.
Sadly, somewhere deep down, I know that . . . he still loves Sasuke- not as much as before, but he stills likes him.
And it hurts.
It hurts to know that he still cares about that bastard, even when he raped him and nearly killed him.
But, I know I have to wait. I have faith that one day, he'll love me just the way I do, or even more.
-End OF Neji's POV-
-SasuNaru-
-TWO WEEKS LATER-
It's been two weeks, since Karin separated from her team, wandering around villages like Kumogakure, Shimogakure, and Yugakure; wasn't something she loved to do.
Tired, hungry and thirsty, she hasn't made a stop, wanting to travel faster but it seems that her system had reached its limits.
After hours of nonstop, her body began to stop working properly. Taking her last step, she collapsed on the green grass, hitting her head, passing out instantly.
Her body lay there, untouched.
It was after hours later, a man stopped, staring at her body- shocked but he regained his composure and rushed to her side.
He was all alone, nobody that could help him carried the girl, but, he knew that he needed to help her; since she was dying.
In the heat of the moment, he made a clone, wincing at the kick he received- from his little friend- but ignored it.
She was dying and even at his currant stage, he could it.
Carrying the girl to the Konoha; sneaking her body through the shadows, until he arrived to his house, exhausted, but with a smile on his face.
Immediately, he ordered his clone healed her.
Yes, he was doing more than he could do, but, her life was a risk.
Therefore, no excuses, he did it; gasping for air since he had used the maximum of the chakra he could use. His vision started to get blurry, and he soon fainted, on his soft bed, next to the girl who was still unconscious.
Karin groaned, feeling his throat dry, but unwillingly, she opened her eyes- only to stared at a boy, with blond hair, tan skin; sleeping next to her.
'So it was true. . . I thought it was a dream. He saved me.' A small smile appeared on her face, before falling again into a deep sleep, joining Naruto.
She didn't care that it was a complete stranger who had saved her life.
Somehow, she felt that he was different, sensing the warm aura that surrounded him.
She felt save, loved and most of all, she knew that he had cared about her life.
And for the first time, in ages, she slept like- no words could describe how she felt.
She was happy.
-SasuNaru-
Sasuke and his two men were walking getting closer to Kumogakure.
Going up hill, to the nearest village, just outside Kumogakure; Sasuke stopped- staring at the deserted, bloody, destroyed village.
Houses, stores and buildings were destroyed; only ashes were at the scene, as a proof that once, there was a village.
Bodies, weapons and blood; decorated the streets, scattered everywhere.
"What the hell?" Suigetsu broke the silence. He walked forward, eyes widened, a shock expression on his face.
"What happened here?" he whispered as he looked around.
"Hn. Let's go." Sasuke said.
He didn't care about this village, or the fact that people had died.
No.
He didn't know any of them, and that's a good reason for him not to care.
Plus, it's over; there's nothing he could do, so might as well move on.
It will be a difference if someone was still alive and-
"Oh SHIT- there's a kid walking-damn he's alive . . . I think he's looking for his parents." Suigetsu said jumping to a neatest house trying to get a better view of the small infant.
'Damn, I should've kept my mouth shut!'
"C'mon Suigetsu, let's go." he took some steps but stopped at Suigetsu's words.
"Damn, he's looks like you Sasuke- wait no, except the hair. Yes, because his skin, eyes are just like you. Shit-Sasuke you got yourself a mini-clone!"
'Keep walking-MOVE! Ignored his stupid comments and keep walking. Even when you're dying to see him, because he could be like your future son- NNOOOoo! Naruto is NOT pregnant godd!'
Knowing that this internal battle won't stop, he turn around and joined Suigetsu, who grinned playfully at him.
The moment his eyes locked with the quivering body, walking, desperately- looking for his parents, Sasuke, he felt a strange feeling taking over.
"Maa," he could tell that the boy hasn't eaten or water in days.
"God, this is why I hate wars." Suigetsu said.
"I think we should help him. He's helpless and about to die any moment." Jugo spoke softly, facing Sasuke; mentally telling him that he would help him even if he disapproves.
'Damn, what is this feeling? Is just a random kid that lost his parents in a stupid war. He's not related to me, why should I care?'
He looked down. 'Because you know, that-that he could be your son- NNOOOOO!'
"Sasuke the kid needs us, let's help him at least until we find him a place to stay."
Jugo didn't wait, he head down where the small child was now crying out for his mommy.
Landing next to the sobbing child, Jugo nodded to Sasuke to make the move.
"Hey. Kid, kid stop crying . . . stop crying for god sakes." his voice, dark and hash only made the boy cry harder.
'Shit, like I know how to handle babies.'
"Kid, crying wouldn't solve your problem. Are you looking for your mother?"
At the word "mother" that the kid recognize by heart, he looked up, eyes red and puffy nose, he stared at Sasuke's eyes.
"Dada!" the boy jumped, happily, crying out the word 'dadda' as he hugged Sasuke tightly; afraid of losing his 'father' once again.
"Well, now he thinks you're his dadda." Jugo said, smiling softly, staring at the boy who was now, laughing; happiness clearly shown in his eyes.
"Kid, stop-GOD I'M NOT YOUR FATHER!"
He didn't mean to yell, but the kid was starting to get a little bit annoying.
"Wow, he kind of looks like you Sasuke, wait, he looks like you two; Itachi and you."
"Stop saying nonsense and let's go!"
The boy sobbed, giving his best puppy eyes look.
"Are you leaving him?" Jugo asked, touched by those eyes, he hoped Sasuke's decision would be the right one. And the one he hopes to hear.
Big black eyes looked at his own, clearly begging for him to take him.
In the end, they took the kid, fed him and even cleaned him.
Yes, even Sasuke had to admit that, that look, worked like a charm.
Now, clean and looking much better than before, Sasuke sat in front of the boy.
"What's your name kid? How old are you?"
The boy tilted his head cutely, "u-uki." he said, stuttering a little.
"I think he's about three years old." Jugo said.
"Well, since it's getting late and we have him; we should go and stay at the nearest hotel we can find." Sasuke suggested.
Both males nodded.
-One Week Later-
"C'mon Itake," Sasuke called out at the same boy they saved a week ago; the same boy who Sasuke, clearly said that he won't even bother looking after him.
Yet, Itake, yes they even named him- was with them, even when they had pass more than two opportunities to leave the boy behind.
Sasuke, even without knowing, he became attach to the kid.
'I wonder if-if I could have a boy like him.'
During this week, Sasuke's mind-or the way he thought- had changed dramatically.
Now, he actually wants, and hopes that the rumor about Naruto turns out to be true.
It was actually Itake, who changed him; warmed his cold heart with his bright smiles and his unconditional love.
Like the bastard he is, Sasuke had done horrible things to the poor kid- making him cry, yelling at him, scaring him with his Sharingan- and yet, the boy keeps coming back, with no fear in his innocent eyes and happy to see Sasuke.
After two days, Sasuke finally gave up, and opened his arms-giving the boy a big hug and, gave him one of his own raresmiles.
Since that day, Sasuke had improved-or gained- of his fatherly skills and more important, he started to experience a new feeling, the feeling that he stopped when Itachi killed his family; love, he started to love, again.
Itake reminded him of his childhood, when he was innocent, when everything was okay, and, when he still had his brother. Itake was the perfect mix of both Itachi and him. He was quiet, shy but most of all, he didn't give up so easily; truly a fighter.
Yes, Itachi's name was now an ordinary word in Sasuke's vocabulary. Now that Itachi is gone, he didn't see the point of hating him; he was dead, moving on.
Plus, now that be has experience love again, is time to forgive and forget; life goes on.
'Still, Itake, why the hell I let Suigetsu named him'
Indeed, it was Suigetsu who came up with the name.
Saying, or describing, how the kid looked like Itachi and Sasuke. At first he nearly killed his friend, but after thinking, and staring at the boy; he really had the resemblance of both brothers.
So he agreed, and so, Itake was claimed as their temporaryson.
Unfortunately, they knew that someday, they'd find the birth mother, or news about Itake's parents.
'Damn, I just hope that we find his mother because if we don't. . . we fucked up- we already are attach to this kid more than we actually thought- or should I say, more than I thought I'd.' Sasuke thought.
Unknown to them, that faithful day was closer than what they had imagined.
-SasuNaru-
It was strange to see Suigetsu, silent, daydreaming and most of all- he hasn't say a word about any suggestion that Sasuke had suggested.
It was a normal thing for him to yell, argue and even fight when something he didn't like, or thought it was a waste of time.
So, after two weeks of walking, he hasn't said a word, just the basics.
After feeding Itake, Sasuke sat in front of Suigetsu.
Suigetsu didn't even notice when he sat down, only when Sasuke yelled at him.
"SUIGETSU WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! FOCUS!"
"w-WHAT? Sasuke- did you call me?"
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" Sasuke yelled.
"Nothing."
"I had enough of your shitty attitude. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." he refused to look at his boss, feeling embarrassed for the real reason he's been acting like this.
Sasuke sat there, staring at Suigetsu, thinking of the possible reasons Suigetsu could be acting this way.
'If I remember correctly, he started to act like this . . . . Wait, I think it was a day after Karin left. . . No, it can't be . . . wow. Seriously?'
"Karin," Sasuke whispered, his eyebrow rose; a vision of Suigetsu and Karin, together, laughing and kissing.
He shivered, 'God-d . . . That's something else . . . but if he really loved her then why the hell he told all those terrible things to her?'
Suigetsu looked up, the glint of his eyes came back, as he looked around, for said red-haired but after finding no girl, he looked back to Sasuke- and groaned.
'Dammit! Now, he knows . . . he's going to ask me and AHH-h . . . I'm fuck-up!"
Sasuke smirked; finally, he knew the reason behind Suigetsu's lack of spirit.
"So," he smirked evilly.
"Sasuke cut the crap and ask me." he glared at the raven.
"Why did you tell her to leave, knowing you'll miss her?"
"Well, I didn't think you will actually let her go, you know- HEY, I DON'T FUCKIN MISS HER!"
"Sure. Says the man, who's now quiet, only talks when he needs to. Damn, even Itake is getting worry over your sorry ass."
Suigetsu just looked down, completely acting out of character.
"Well, there's nothing I can do now. I know that I did wrong, please forgive me; I promise to make it up to you in the future."
"Uh-h s-sure . . . are you okay?" Yes, he did stuttered but, is not his fault, especially when the Uchiha Sasuke, the cold hearted killer, who will kill instead of saying sorry- had just apologized to him- his member of his team- and had meant it.
Suigetsu looked at the side, where little Itake was sleeping peacefully.
"He changed you for the better, Sasuke. I'm glad you had changed, now, you actually win your future back and live happily."
Sasuke laughed.
It was a historical day for Suigetsu.
In one day, his love life was discovered. He was the first one who had received a sincere apology from Sasuke, and now, he had heard his laugh, which in his opinion was scarier than anything he had heard in his life.
"He did change me, but that doesn't mean I'll get everything I once had. Now, I have to work for it."
He stood up and said, "If you really love her, go look for her. Don't waste your time here . . . you're not even capable of fighting."
"B-bbut . . ."
"Think about it . . . and tomorrow, you'll tell me your answer."
He joined Itake and left Suigetsu all alone.
'Damn, this is harder than killing Sasuke.'
-Morning-
"I'm staying with you til the end. After we confirmed that he's having your son, then, I'll go and find Karin and bring her back."
"Deal."
-SasuNaru-
-Two Days After-
The team found themselves walking, again, through the dark forest.
Completely unaware of what activity was going on head of them.
It was when Sasuke spotted five men, yelling at each other, pushing women into a small cottage.
Sasuke stop, making his team stopped as well, both males ready to attack if they have to.
"Let's wait here, we don't need problems."
Both males nodded, they had Itake, so avoiding conflicts was better than risking everything; Itake's life.
But, someone had other plans for them . . . and it was none other than Itake.
"MaMMAa!" the boy squealed in delight, as he watched on of the females walked by.
Said woman, stopped, looked around for that tiny voice that hunted her dreams.
"Shhh, Itake, we don't want problems." Sasuke tried to calm the boy, but Itake kept calling out for his mother.
"ukE . . . mamma-mamma," Itake cried out his last call, and this time, the woman found them.
"Y-yuki?" she whispered, tears threatening to fall, as she looked at her son that she had thought, had died.
Yuki, the boy's real name, laughed, his eyes sparkled as he look at his mother.
Yuki, looked at Sasuke, and smiled at him.
Sasuke . . . knew it was time.
The way Itake had reacted; just by looking at the woman . . . it was his mother.
It was time to give up on his . . . temporary son.
Gulping, it was harder than it look, he looked at the scene in front of him.
It seems that the moment the woman looked at Itake, she tried to run, and now, she was fighting them.
"Jugo, take Itake," he gave the crying boy to Jugo and headed to save Itake's mother.
He didn't make a sound, or say a word; he just killed them, ending their miserable lives without regret.
"Itake!" they heard Jugo yelled, and both turned around, completely missing the little boy who ran between them; running towards his mother.
"Damn, for a little boy, he sure runs faster than me." Suigetsu joked, happy to see Itake with his real mother.
They all knew that this day would come, but none of them knew, how hard it would be loose Itake.
But in the end, it was all worth it; just by looking at his happy face.
After kisses and sweet words, both joined the team, who were just looking at the happy duo.
"T-thanks for saving my life. I don't know how I'm going to paid you, for everything you did for my son; you saved him. Just ask me anything and I'll give it to you. oh-h my name is Yuimi, nice to meet you." she bowed down politely.
Sasuke stared at her- in a trance- her eyes, her long-black hair, skin, her personality; everything, reminded him of his deceased mother, Uchiha Mikoto.
"Sasuke? Are you okay?" Suigetsu asked.
Sasuke shook his head, "Hn, nothing. Its nothing." he blushed when she gave him a beautiful smile.
"Nonsense, there's got to be something I can do for you?"
"It's okay. We need to go now."
Yuimi stared at Sasuke, who caught him starting at her- not sexually but in away Yuki always looks at her; in a maternal way.
It was obvious; she was a mother after all.
She, been naïve and kind, she walked and hugged Sasuke.
Sasuke was about to push the lady but, her words stopped him, making him weak
"Tell me what's bothering you. . . I could help you if you only tell me."
Those words hurt more than he thought.
Those, simple words that meant nothing- killed him inside.
Even at his age, he still misses the love of his mother.
And after witnessing the scene in front of him . . . his heart couldn't take anymore.
He collapse, tears as he hugged the Yuimi.
She smiled at him, stroking his soft hair and said,
"You look like you're having trouble with something. Even, when you look strong, dangerous- you're really an insecure person and you often ignored your real feelings. And sometimes, your instincts lead you into trouble and there's nothing you can do about it, right?"
Her words were like a deadly poison, spreading every cell, nerve of his body; reaching his cold, heart.
"You have saved my son; my everything, and now; I want to help you." she lifted his chin, forcing him to looked at her.
"Tell me what's bothering you," she smiled at him.
Sasuke closed his eyes, tears leaked out of his eyes.
"What's your name son?" she asked.
Sasuke opened his eyes; there were no trace of malice or kill intent in his eyes.
"Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke,"
Somehow, he knew she'll pull away the moment he said his name. it was the obvious thing to do.
After all, he was a serial killer; a rogue ninja, wanted in all nations.
He was ready, ready for her to scream, for her to get up as fast as she could and grabbed his son and leave . . .
But, nothing happened.
She was still there, near him, with the same warm smile on her face.
"Sasuke, tell me your problem." at this moment, she didn't care if he kills her; she knew he won't hurt her at all.
At that moment, something inside Sasuke's mind told him to trust Yuimi, and he did; he told her everything he went through, and his currant condition.
"I think, you just noticed that you might, actually want this baby, even when you keep denying it. I think, I think you should go to konoha and see for yourself if you want this baby. But, I know, that after seeing your love, pregnant, carrying the child and your future . . . you'll change your mind. I know for experience." her look change into a darker one, "When I found out that I was pregnant; I did everything to kill it, but my boyfriend, now husband, wanted to have it. Trust me Sasuke, is not going to be easy but in the end, you'll be happy to have him, to have someone who'd call you dad, someone who will wait for you; someone who will love you unconditionally."
She looked at Yuki, she eyes shone like stars; truly happy.
"Yuki was the best thing that ever happened to me. As, Uchiha Sasuke, the heir on one of the strongest clan ever existed, your duty is to restored your clan, but this time, your duty is to make the Uchiha Clan better, unlike the rest of your fellow members. Your son will need guidance along with the mother of your son."
"But-but I told you . . . he hates me I FUCKIN RAPED HIM! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL HE'LL EVER FORGIVE ME!"
"NO, YOU'RE WRONG! ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE UP? YOU'RE AN UCHIHA, ACT LIKE ONE!"
"What should I do . . . for him to forgive me?" he asked, refusing to look at her.
"You love him?"
This caught Sasuke off guard, because he didn't know if he loves Naruto.
"I don't know." he said.
"Sasuke, you should I least know what you feel when you're near him?"
"I feel happy. every time I think about him, my body will react and go numb, my temperature will rise and the need to touch him, kiss him; is stronger than any feeling I had felt."
"Sasuke, you, you clearly are in love with Naruto." she giggled.
Men could be manly, but, when it comes to feelings . . . they're weaker more than women.
"Look, go to Konoha and find Naruto, ask him for a chance to have a nice conversation, then, your heart will tell you what to do."
She stood up, Sasuke looking lost.
"C'mon . . . let's go inside the house, I'll make you something to eat and then, you'll go and seek him."
She walked and lifted Yuki.
"C'mon guys. . . Yuki-chan is getting hungry."
