Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't anything, but the character Rozari but hey if you wanna go off my story go ahead, as long as it isn't a copy haha.
Shikaku sighed, brushing the red curls back from the bruised porcelain skin, mind racing while sitting on the couch in the moonlight. He can't help but be sadden by the thought Yuri is never coming home, that little girl was a ray of sunshine during the dark times with a fiery attitude that didn't take no shit from no one.
He grinned at the thought of the girl chasing him and telling everyone she was gonna be , though he knew since she was the oracle that it wasn't true.
Yoshino will be so happy, she always wanted a little girl, or another child. But it wasn't destine, she just couldn't carry to full term it was dangerous to her health after two miscarriages, he never thought she'd get her wish. Shika knows she'll be happy, she adored Yuri seeing as the young girl followed her around as well trying to convince her to date him. Not to mention teach her cool jutsu, which she did often, she was a powerful child. And now he must raise her more powerful daughter he can feel the power radiating off her waves even in her sleep.
Not to mention her beauty the full lips and wild curls, slightly pointed chin and upturned nose must be all her father. The crimson red, thick hair and nicely tanned skin, shining emerald green eyes with thick dark lashes surrounding almond shaped eyes is all her mother. Shikamaru is gonna be a very lucky lad, he is on a different path now, and hopefully he'll be less lazy and more focused and able to learn powerful jutsu.
The window cracking had Shikaku looked up quickly to see Inoichi climbing through with a sundress and some PJs. "I figured you'd need some clothes for the little munchkin." He smiled down at the child who was still practically a baby. "Thanks, I was just gonna stick her in Shikamaru's cloths until Yoshino could take her shopping." Inoichi nodded while they both frowned at the bruises littering the pale skin, looking darker in the light from the window. Shikaku felt a hot rage come over him at the bruises on her tiny thighs and hips. Inoichi wasn't much better, he felt like throwing up, what sick perverted bastard would touch a 2-3 year like that. And how can this angel be so trusting of strangers. This is wrong. Inoichi raced to the kitchen to grab a wet wash cloth and came back handing it to the fuming Nara head the child whimpering in the breeze made him snap out of it, he wiped her down quickly cleaning off dirt and blood, sliding her into her borrowed PJs fast.
"You'll have to tell the hokage." Inoichi whispered watching Shikaku hold the little girl tightly, he nodded. "After all her health checks tomorrow, you'll write a full report after checking her mind." He nodded, "Where she sleeping?" "With Shikamaru, he's an easy going child so he'll let it slide and just cuddle which I can see she needs." Inoichi smiled, it's the truth, seeing as there's picture proof of said child cuddling with cousin at clan parties, even Chouji and Ino at big get togethers. He grinned a bit, his little daughter is a handful and has gotten into fights already at 3-4 with cousins, so there's no doubt there will be trouble between girls over cuddles and much more. Shikaku smiled at Inoichi already on the same wavelength seeing as Rozari will probably be a little trouble maker.
Picking up the slight toddler he carried her through the house on light feet. He heard Inoichi's whispered goodbye and the firm shut of the window. Sliding his son's door open he crept over clothes to his sleeping mat, smiling his son is so adorable he rolled the boy over slightly sliding Ro under the blanket next to him. His sons eye cracked open to peak at his dad, eyebrow raising at the girl in his bed. "Go back to sleep, I'll explain in the morning." A sleepy nod and he was out, unconsciously wrapping an arm over the snuggling girl next to him. Shikaku couldn't help but smile again, getting up he turned to leave to meet his wife eyebrow raised head on.
~~~~Hokage's Office ~~~~~
Iruka nervously entered the office, wondering why he would be called here at such a late hour but not willing to question his superior. Standing there he was shocked there was clone's working on multiple things, he hasn't seen things run this smoothly and military in a few years and surprising it comforted him. Looking around he noticed an anbu standing casually next to the hokage and blushed slightly.
"Iruka I have a mission for you," the hokage paused to have a pull on his pipe. Leaving back in his chair he gave the chunin a hard look, Iruka squirmed. "Uzumaki Yuri has made contact, sending back her daughter, though she has passed. She made a request or more like a demand that you will carry out, regardless of your feelings, being that you have other duties, you will have a teammate of a sense in my anbu. Being as this demand is important you will be debriefed on classified information." Iruka was in shock, he remembered Uzumaki Kushina and there's one other Uzumaki alive right now.
Everyone remembers Yuri, though she left while he was young, the stories were wild, but apparently so was the girl, seeing as she was an oracle this was one mission no matter his anger at the beast that took his parents. The hokage sat patiently letting the man in front of him come to terms with the information in front of him. Signaling Kakashi to secure the room and remove his mask.
"I see you realize whom in talking about, but the information you have isn't all correct, young Naruto was the fourth's son born on the day the kyuubi wrecked havoc on our mighty village. Seeing as the fourth was a master sealer know for his seals trained under a seal master. You'd think people understand the difference between a container and a monster. The only person that could let the monster loose is the child. Say if you were treated like dirt. Abuse and shouted at for things you have no knowledge of. Something your parents died to protect the village from. Something my wife died to prevent. Naruto is an innocent 4 year old craving attention. Someone who needs someone to love him in place of his deceased parents and make him the ninja they knew he'd become. I will protect these children. Being as they are the last relation to the Senju clan. Being as they are the last know Uzumaki of the legendary clans. Yuri has entrusted her nephew into your care, along with the fourths charge Hatake Kakashi. You will move onto the Uzumaki compound and live in the main house, in a few days I'll get the items sealed away put for your use. The sister house belongs to Yuri's own daughter. Yuri has demanded that Rozari and Naruto spend time together seeing as their cousins and all they have left. We are done here, you will pick Naruto up from the orphanage at 9, take him shopping for clothes and food. Defend him from the civilians and meet at my office at 2 pm. Rozari will be here after her check ups to meet her cousin. And Nara to give his report."
Iruka nodded, his mind swirling over the information given to him and the determination to protect the fourth's son and teach him to be the best shinobi possible. The Hokage watch the chunin leave with a determined face with pride and amusement. Leaning back in his chair blowing smoke into the air. The Uzumakis always leave a mark.
Sorry for the wait and any spelling errors. I finished this today and wanted to get this up quick no promises on the next update but I have ideas running rampant for future chapters. I just didn't have any motivation to write or any inspiration to continue for a while so I tried to make it long. Thanks for reviewing .
