Naruto woke up to dull pains in his side, rolling over he opened his eyes and came face to face with brown eyes.

"Cho-chotto..who are you!?" He shouted nervously, pulling the covers around him. Who the hell was this person and why was she in their house?

"SASUKE!" Scrambling to his feet he almost fell but the mysterious women caught him. "Sit back down gaki, before I force you too!" She said sternly, narrowing her eyes when Naruto didn't comply fast enough. "Now!"

Naruto did as told and bit his bottom lip. Where was Sasuke, he should have heard his shout...or was he hurt...or dead?

"Where is Sasuke, old lady?" Naruto asked slipping his hand under the mattress to get the kunai he kept there. "I wouldn't think about doing that if I were you, Uzumaki." She hissed, "After all the things I did for you and you're sitting here trying to do away with me...so ungrateful. This is why I stopped being a doctor."

"You...helped me?" Naruto asked quizzly and noticed that the woman had that infamous red hair, that was so known as an Uzumaki trademark. She helped him and she was an Uzumaki...he wondered briefly if she knew anything that could help him.

"Yes I did.." She huffed turning to look Naruto up and down, "By the way I'm Akahana's mother, Kogeru. Now, I won't say that it was a pleasure meeting you under these circumstances." She said and winked.

"Do you want to tell me exactly what's going on here? I know it's something, there's no way that a pregnant Uzumaki man just suddenly shows up in the perfect spot, where others of his kind is." She Kogeru said walking towards Naruto. "What do you want? Or should I say up to?"

Naruto was stunned as he looked at the little woman who started to do a quick exam on him. Pushing him to lay back she started putting pressure on his stomach asking if that hurted or not. As he watched her work Naruto wondered about how he was going to answer her question, it was simple.

"Well?!" She snapped impatiently moving lower down his body...what was she doing, oh no. "Wait...what are you doing?" He asked blushing as she grabbed the waistband on his pants.

"What does it look like, kami...I swear the kids these days have no common sense." Breathing through her nose, she looked at Naruto and explained all the things shes been doing to reduce his cramping, "You see, I need to check to see that no liquid has been discharged since the last time I checked."

"Okay..." Naruto said closing his eyes...this was so embarrassing. "You know that one of the problems that was making you cramp is that you're not drinking enough water. You need to drink tons of water so that you can use the bathroom. With going to the bathroom you are releasing all the pressure down there and cleaning out your system. You shouldn't hold your urine or anything, its bad, and it causes the cramping. But like your husband said you stretching out for the babies could have been a factor in causing the cramps."

"He's not my husband...yet." Naruto whispered under his breath. Kogeru looked at him before going on. "You need to take better care of yourself gaki and the triplets. So drink lots of water and eat lots of vegetables and fruit."

"How do you know that I'm having triplets?" He asked tilting his head to the side in thought. "Baka, from Sasuke of course." She said chuckling at the clueless boy. "But you still haven't explained why you're here, and getting chummy with my daughter."

"Well...ummm, ya see..it's..." He trailed off when the door opened and Sasuke strolled in with Akahana. "Oh Naruto san, you're up!" The young redhead said beaming.

Naruto smiled and nodded but quickly looked past her to his raven. "How do you feel, dobe?" Sasuke asked next to Naruto now, running his fingers through his hair. Reassuring himself that everything was fine. He felt like shit after when he was in the hallway waiting for Kogeru to come back out with the news on what was wrong with Naruto..which ended up being more than an hour later. But he suspected that she did that one purposely to spite him for threatening her.

"I feel fine, but a little achy on my sides...but other than that I'm okay." Naruto said looking up at Sasuke. "Thank god, is there anything we should be worried about?" Sasuke asked Kogeru but kept his eyes on Naruto.

"Like I told him is that he needs to drink lots of water. Plus he's going to need rest and a stress free time. Carrying triplets is no joke, the more you're carrying the riskier the pregnancy will be. So just take it easy Uzumaki. But you still have failed to tell me what you are doing way out here...when I know for sure that the last Uchiha resided in Konohagakure. Do you mind explaining why you're here, because my patience is wearing thin." Kogeru said and narrowed her eyes at the couple.

"Gomen Kogeru san, Akahana san. I have been deceiving you but to me our friendship is real. I came to Saikuron to learn about my heritage and we knew that when Uzushiogakure fell most of the ones who survived came to the land of wind.I have no hidden agenda, I just want to learn about my family and why I'm pregnant. Knowing full well that men can't but a doctor told us that their was a clan where men could get pregnant and we came to the final conclusion that it was my clan, the Uzumaki's who was renowned for their fuuinjutsu and longevity," Sighing he leaned back and linked fingers with Sasuke, who squeezed his hand in quiet support. "I just want to know about the family that I never had, about the skills that my clan was best at and maybe even have the privilege to learn about it. But I just want to know everything that I can about the Uzumaki's if possible." He bowed his head a little showing his respect to the quiet room.

He wasn't sure how they would take it but at least he let it all out. Naruto never liked deceiving people, so he felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders. He looked at Sasuke who smiled at him, encouraging and lovingly. He couldn't have done this without him.

"Why did you pick me?" Akahana asked, not understanding why her. She didn't look strong and she wasn't of the ninja world, so why someone like her.

"Because from the first moment that I met you, I just knew that you would give me the answers that I seek no matter what. Hana san you are a kind hearted person that even if you had no knowledge about the clan I would still want to be your friend." Naruto said smiling sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Plus you're a real beauty!"

Akahana was stunned by the sincerity she heard in his voice and in his words. This past month strengthened her relationship with Naruto and Sasuke. They were both one of a kind and she liked that the most. Here in Saikuron, nobody was as brazen and feisty as Naruto, to be pregnant he sure didn't let that hold him back and just in these past few weeks she had the time of her life. How could she not help him and there was an extra bonus of them being family! She just had to help and she knew the right person to ask about all things Uzumaki!

"I've got the right person for you Naruto!" She said moving closer to Naruto until a hand grabbed her arm. "What do you think you're doing Akahana!" Kogeru hissed, narrowing her eyes at her daughter. "They could be lying about why they need this information, I raised you not to be so gullible!"

"Mother! You can't be serious right now. Naruto. Is. Pregnant. For. Real!" She gritted out, slowly. "As you can see that he is an Uzumaki, a real one. No one can fake this, and you just took care of him. you're a doctor for christ sakes, I'm sure you would know if someone was faking being pregnant!" God she couldn't believe this! She knew that her mother had problems with this one 'gift' because she lost someone dear when she was younger due to complications with his pregnancy...but that was before she was born and Naruto needed her now and who better to do it then her, an Uzumaki who had experience with this. Why couldn't she just move on?

"Mom, if you don't want to help then thats up to you but I will help him. But it's a shame that because of something that happened more than thirty years ago, won't let you move on and help others who need your help."

"Fine do whatever you want," She said letting go of Akahana and moved to the door, turning back around she looked at the three still left in the room. Shaking her head she sighed. "I'll check on you in a couple of days, and I better not regret this...gaki." With that she left just the way she entered, swift and to the point.

Exhaling a breath as the tension level in the room went down, Naruto turned to Akahana. "Hana I'm truly sorry that I didn't tell you all of this right from the beginning."

"That's fine...but is there anything else that I should know. The way you guys came seemed sudden and secretive, plus you guys were in disguises and oh by the way Sasuke I forgot! You weren't in your disguise when you came to the door to let us in...what's the deal? I have a right to know if I'm risking my life and families for you."

Naruto and Sasuke was quiet for the longest and Akahana knew that something was wrong when Naruto started to tear up. She almost wished that she hadn't asked...almost.

"I'm going to be frank with you." Sasuke said rubbing soothing circles on Naruto's back, this topic seemed to be stressing him out, which wasn't good. "Naruto is being targeted by someone in Konoha. We suspect who it is but there isn't any proof, so we sent Naruto away to get out of harms way. I just met back up with him a couple of days before we came here and thats when I found out he was pregnant but because of that, I thought that it wouldn't be wise to stay where we were and decided to move. We wanted to know why Naruto was pregnant...which isn't a bad thing in the least but it still mystified us. Plus we were near here and Naruto should learn about his family so we picked this place to call home for however long we need it."

"Are you guys still in danger? Are they hot on your trail?" Akahana asked seriously, Sasuke thought he watched her face when he was telling her about all the problems that lay in wait for them and wanted to know if she was someone they could trust. "Not at the moment, but who knows for sure?" He said shrugging his shoulder, all they could do was wait. "I don't want Naruto or the babies hurt...so I'm going to ask you can we trust you?" He already knew his answer but wanted her to voice it.

"Of course! I can't believe that Naruto kun's own villager is trying to get him. And after all the things you told me he did for Konoha, I can't believe it!" She said balling up her delicate fists. "I can't believe that someone would harm a sweet innocent child, and you're adorable now so I can't imagine all the cuteness that you were then. But I'm glad that you made it out of that and still is the same kind hearted person you were then. It's good that they didn't taint you, because I wouldn't have been able to meet you if they did, and that in a twisted way...I am thankful." Smiling she was the one that time to look bashful, "And thanks for telling me everything, guys...Oh yeah like I was saying, I have the perfect person in mind to help you out!"

"Who is it?!" naruto asked excitedly patting the bed for her to come and join them, as Sasuke got comfortable behind Naruto, wrapping his arms around him. Blushing slightly at the two love birds she made her way to them.

"It's my uncle, my mom's brother. He's...nice once you get to know him, but he does know the history about the Uzumaki clan. He tried to explain it to me but I never paid any attention but since I now have a buddy to take the lessons with it might not be so boring."

"True, but do you really think that he will help me out?" Naruto asked scrunching up his face. "He might refuse and then who will help me? Ahhh, this is turning out to be more difficult than I thought."

"I'm positive that he will help because the one who my mom was so close to was his lover. So he should be able to understand where you're coming from the most. If he can help you out I think that he will try his best." She said nodding her head, a determined spark in her eyes. "He also loves me and since I'm his only niece, he'll have to help out my friend!"

"...But I don-"

"There's going to be none of that Naruto kun! He's going to help and that's that!"

...

A couple of days later~

"Hell no! I'm not helping...get out!" Akahana's uncle yelled at the three people standing in the doorway of his private office.

"Come on, Jirou-Ojisan...please he needs to know. You went through all of this before and you're always trying to teach me about our history when you have someone standing right here who wants to learn!" Hana san shouted, "Ugh what is wrong with you and my mom, you all say that you want more Uzumaki's to be interested in our history but when one actually wants to learn y'all shun him. He's already been through enough without you two adding on to the hate! Why did I even bother you two are the worst..." She said turning around, "Come on guys, lets get out of here."

Walking out of the room with Akahana, she cracked a smile looking at the two of them. Holding up her hand she counted down quietly. Five, four, three she mouthed, two, one. "Wait a minute, come back and explain your situation to me properly." Her uncle sighed in defeat, he couldn't let his cute niece down. She was his favorite...well only niece but still.

"Ah, thank you, thank you Jirou-Ojisan! You won't regret this!" She said jumping on the older man who looked like he was about to break from her assault.

"Thank you for hearing me out." Naruto said entering the room once again, but this time actually making it to the sofa and sitting down.

"So tell me, why do you want to know more about the Uzumaki clan young lady." Hana's uncle said, "By the way my name is Benjirou, I'm not one hundred percent sure yet if it's a pleasure to meet you."

Naruto looked at Hana, as if to say should he tell him that he was actually a man. He didn't know so he asked her with silent stares and she nodded that it was okay. Nodding back Naruto and Sasuke both released their cover of being Maki and Uchi and revealed their true selves, Naruto and Sasuke.

As they looked at the shocked man, as he looked at them in wonder and horror. He couldn't believe what or who was sitting in front of him. A whole bunch of emotions assailed him at once of the time that he had with his beloved. Juri. And then that tragic day happened and his life, his everything was taken away from him in mere seconds. Their child...who would have been the joy of his life was lost as well as his love . They should have been careful, they should never have taken that trip that would cost him two people he cherished.

Sighing he looked at the boy with his shimmering blue eyes and luscious golden locks...who was pregnant. Then his eyes strayed to the boy next to him who was all contrasts. Pale skin, dark hair and eyes...but one that was cold beauty was the love that he had in his eyes for the young man next to him, it was warm and welcoming.

"I take it that you have questions about this." He stated waving a hand at Naruto's stomach. Naruto nodded but didn't say anything, he was a little choked up at seeing all the emotions that was raging on the mans face. At that moment he felt sorry for bringing back memories that seemed to hurt him so much. "How far along are you?"

"I'm five months now," He stated then chuckled lightly when he saw the face Benjirou made. "I'm carrying triplets."

"I see...that has to be tough and riskier. What exactly do you want from me?" He asked a little uncertainly, what could he possibly want from a bitter old man.

"I want to know about the Uzumaki clan and fuuinjutsu. Why I'm pregnant and just about anything else that you would like to teach me." Naruto said smiling, "Oh yeah by the way I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is my fiance Sasuke Uchiha."

"Naruto Uzumaki...the EIYU, form konoha? Sasuke Uchiha the only survivor from the Uchiha massacre?" Benjirou shouted, with his eyes bugging out. This couldn't be, he had two legends and the strongest people the ninja world have ever seen in his home! "Y-You came all the way here for that...I would have gladly went to you Naruto sama, Sasuke sama."

Akahana watched the strange display as her uncle bowed his head for his earlier rudeness. What exactly was going on? It had to be big because her uncle barely apologized to anyone and never bowed his head. Just who were Naruto and Sasuke?

"It's fine Benjirou san, please stop bowing." Naruto said going to the man who was now bowing on the floor. "Please stop or do you want me to get on the floor with you but let me tell you right now that once I get down you all are going to help me up."

"Oh no! Naruto sama, this floor is dirty...I can't possibly have you on it!" He reacted quickly by standing up. "Please relax. You are pregnant and I would hate for something to happen while you were in my care. Please have a seat, are you thirsty? Can I get you anything?"

"Ummm if you don't mind can I have a glass of water?" Naruto asked amused as the guy sent Hana off to fetch some water for him. "And please drop the honorifics, Naruto is just fine."

"Okay Naruto san...Naruto." He corrected at the stern look Naruto gave him. "So I take it that you're actually a real Uzumaki...when I first heard about you I wondered but no one ever said that you were from the Uzumaki clan. But seeing this, I'm speechless. I know we had some powerful shinobi's in the family tree but not one now, in this generation. I'm amazed that you don't know about us, when your mother was apart of Konoha and most likely would have left something for you? Did she not?"

Naruto shook his head, "I honestly have no idea. I was raised an orphan, with no one to answer my questions and when I became of age I only had one goal in life and that was bringing this guy back home."

"I will be honored to teach you all the things that you need to know. Your fearlessness and bravery has reached over here and we think you for that. Without you and all the treaties and work you did to improve other countries has left us all with a sense of being and a personal connection with you...even if we've never met. Times were hard here until, you took matters into your own hands. Please look no further because I will teach you everything that I know to you for future generations to come." With that last statement his voice wavered and he turned away. This was hard for him but for Naruto he will do whatever it took to see that Naruto knew everything he needed to know. He knew that he would do justice for their lost clan and rebuild it little by little.

...

"Naruto kun you can do it, just concentrate on storing your chakra in the crystal." Jirou san said encouraging. "Yes, just like that. You've been doing excellent these past few weeks, and its good that you already had some knowledge about the white strength seal. Sasuke's been worried that you run out of chara too quickly and wants you to have some stored away just incase of emergencies. Which is smart, you can never be safe especially when you're pregnant."

"I know but it's hard, when I have to concentrate on my chakra flow and not harm the babies and then try to focus on pouring my 'controlled' chakra into the crystal on my head." Naruto sighed getting irritated, his back these days wasn't any good and he was starting to get hungry. But Jirou san was a big help and it amazed him that the old man had so much patience with dealing with him and his moods.

The most shocking is why he could have children. It's all thanks to the sage of six paths, he gave them the ability to have children. He was the one who is the creator of all things jutsu, being the one who defeated the juubi and made it into the nine bijuu showed just how strong he was. Back before his sons split into two which would later be the Senju and Uchiha clans, the younger son being the one who inherited his body while the oldest took his eyes, he helped the Uzumaki's. Their clan was dying out from some disease, that was effecting the women more so than the men, which ended in them losing most of their women. The sage granted the men in their bloodline to reproduce so that they could also help rebuild their clan without needing women. Which worked out for the best because if the sage never existed then he wouldn't be here today and for that he was grateful, even though he wasn't in the beginning. But knowing why he could reproduced helped him understand just how much a gift this was.

Naruto has been doing good with the seal training, even though he already knew how to seal things such as objects, living beings, and chakra but Jirou san made him do it all over again. What a pain but it started to move on to juicier things like how to do the yin seal-release for the white strength seal. He learned how to manipulate his chakra to affect the way the seal looked and worked. Some dangerous jutsu like three seal barrier and the tailed beast chakra seal...which will most likely come in handy in the future, and a bunch that he never heard of. Sasuke's been also training in seal technique too, which was good because he would have to make sure that nothing went wrong with kyuubi during labor. He shouldn't have to worry too much about that since kyuubi and him was practically family and he seemed to be enjoying having the little ones to entertain him...hope he doesn't corrupt them.

"Lets call it a day. You look exhausted and you need rest." He said rolling up scrolls that they were looking at. "Okay Jirou san, thanks for today." Naruto said leaving to go home, looking at his watch he noticed that it was after five. Sasuke should be waiting for him outside since he alway left around this time.

Opening the door he spotted his love leaning up against the wall next to the door. "Hey." Naruto said with a wave and walked closer to Sasuke who wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him closer to his lean body. "Hey, back." Sasuke said before leaning in and giving Naruto a well deserved kissed, he went too long without his dobe's love. He was starting to feel the withdrawal and it wasn't pretty, every touch from Naruto seemed intensified. God he didn't think that he could hold out any longer.

Pulling back he grabbed 'Maki's' hand and they started walking home. "How was your day?" Sasuke asked tugging Naruto closer and put his arm around his shoulders protectively as he watched people look at them...men with interest in his wife and women envious. Damn even in their disguises they got a lot of attention...he guessed they were just naturally good looking.

"It was fine, I learned how to better control my chakra flow with the triplets and with the flow of putting chakra in the crystal. How about you?" Putting his head on Sasuke's shoulder Naruto waited for his reply. "Nothing much really, just watched the clock until you got finished." He said smirking when Naruto started to blush. "You could have came with me if you wanted to..."

"No, it's alright. I didn't want to distract you from your studies." He said kissing the top of his head, "I know you're hungry so I made dinner before I left the house...is that okay or are you in the mood for something else?" He said wiggling his eyebrows.

Laughing Naruto hit him playfully, "No thats fine, whatever you cooked I know it'll be good and healthy."

"Then lets get back quickly and eat, then have some much needed me time...with you naked." Naruto looked at him as if he was crazy, did he not see the way he looked? But he knew he did and still loved him anyway...god isn't he lucky.

...

"Where did that little shit run off to?!" Sakura hollered as she trashed Naruto's apartment for any clues. Dammit she knew that it was too quiet in Konoha but she was too busy to notice, Orochimaru wasn't going to be happy with her. "Why weren't you guys keeping an eye on him?"

She yelled at their followers who all looked dumbfounded...ugh it was so hard to get good help around here these days. "Why don't you search the village, he's bound to be here somewhere...I hope." She said looking as they made no move to leave, "Now!"

"Hai!" They said and scattered, what was wrong with them?

"Fuck...where are you Naru chan?" She hissed knocking over a lamp and crashing dishes on the ground. Serves the bastard right for messing with me and mine. Little did she know that she was being watched.

Sai couldn't believe his eyes, he's been waiting for months to see her slip up. He's amazed that she didn't notice that Sasuke was gone too, if she did this place would be more messed up then what it was.

Sakura was about to leave when one of her ninjas came to kneel in front of her, "Sakura hime, Orochimaru requests your presence at once." He said sounding nervous, what could have happened now Sakura thought as she nodded. "What does he want?"

"I do not know. He doesn't tell me much of anything, I'm deeply sorry if this burdens you." She sucked her teeth and made her way to the window. "Whatever...lets go." Sai couldn't believe what he heard...Orochimaru? Isn't he suppose to be dead? Things just got more complicated and dangerous...what exactly was going on? He had to contact Tsunade immediately but he still had to follow Sakura. Pulling out a stroll and his quell, he made quick work of writing what he heard and learned and sent the letter by one of his rats.

Sai hoped that it made it to her safely as he quickly caught up to Sakura and her lackey. Now where exactly were they going?
