Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto.

Sasuke's eyes scanned the room slowly while his hands held a fighting stance. His Sharingan activated involuntarily. He heard footsteps rapidly approaching him from behind.

'"Hmph" he let out a smirk and swiftly held the hand which was to attack him. The attacker let out a gasp and quickly swayed his leg to force a kick. Sasuke's other hand held his leg not letting it anywhere near his stomach. He held the attacker down very lightly and held his arm over his neck applying a harmless light pressure over the windpipe and kept the other hand locked behind his back. Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan. That's it. He is done for. The attacker slowly let a smile fill his face.

PHOOF!

'Kage Bunshin (Shadow clone)?' Sasuke thought to himself.

Before Sasuke could fathom what had just happened the attacker approached him from behind yet again.

"AAAHHH!" The attacker charged at Sasuke.

As soon as Sasuke turned around he was welcomed by a splash of white liquid. It was too late to react, his head was soaked with the consistency of which he could only sense was…glue. His hands tried to remove the sticky substance but he only made it worse by smearing it on more.

"WHAT THE FU-"

"SASUKE! LANGUAGE!" Naruto yelled out. Naruto rushed to the scene when he heard his little brat of a child screaming his lungs out. But it was too late.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS MOTHER FU-" Sasuke said infuriated.

"SASUKE!" Naruto cut Sasuke off again before he could complete his heartwarming curses. By then Bolt – the attacker – was being dragged by Naruto by his ears.

"Don't worry we will get it off." Naruto tried to comfort Sasuke.

"THIS IS BLOODY GLUE! I HAVE TO CHOP MY HAIR OFF!"

"Can you calm down! It's not glue. It's just white paint, he just thickened the consistency. It is make believe glue. He uses it at school to scare off other kids."

"Ooouuuccchh Daaaad!" Bolt gave our cries trying to get out of Naruto's grasp.

Sasuke stared down at his fingers. He collected a few drops from his hair and smelt it. It didn't smell like glue, nor paint. It was pretty genius of Bolt though, Sasuke had to admit. Obviously not out loud.

"Scare off? Or bully?" Sasuke asked.

"Whatever it is. It clearly worked." Naruto mocked looking at Sasuke's sad state as he let go of Bolt. Bolt was left rubbing his ears trying to numb the feeling.

"It's really hard to take your taunt seriously when you have that pink apron around your waist." Sasuke said as he walked past Naruto reaching for some tissues.

"Wow." Naruto held out his hands dramatically. "I cook for this family and this what I get to hear!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto's shenanigans. "And when the hell did you teach him Kage Bunshin. Don't you think he is too young to learn that, not to mention it's a forbidden jutsu."

"I only taught him to replicate one." Naruto said as he bent over and looked Bolt in the eye. Bolt folded his hands and looked away as he pouted grumpily. Naruto pointed towards the corner of the room where two walls conjoined.

"10 minutes to the sky." He told Bolt sternly.

"No! No I didn't do it dattebasa!" Bolt protested.

"You know you did it dattebayo!" Naruto argued back.

"It wasn't me dattebasa!"

"Don't lie dattebayo!"

After sometime all Sasuke could hear was.

"…dattebasa!"

"…dattebayo!"

"…dattebasa!"

"…dattebayo!"

"…dattebasa!"

"…dattebayo!"

It was like he was stuck in a genjutsu with a broken alarm which had an unbearable synchronized tone of the Uzumakis, without a functioning halt button.

"…dattebasa!"

"…dattebayo!"

A nerve bulged out on Sasuke's forehead, he tried to control his anger. Just as he was about to give them a piece of his mind….

"SHUT UP SHANNARO!" shouted Sarada.

Great! That's all Sasuke needed, more immigrants to join the loony herd of catchphrases.

Bolt looked at Naruto and tugged his pink apron hoping to be excused this time. Naruto shook his head sideways declining the plea. A disappointed Bolt took his corner and held both his hands up reaching for the roof as his punishment.

Naruto gave out a little sigh and turned his attention back to Sasuke. "And also isn't that a little hypocritical coming from you? Sarada would have blown this house up if I wasn't quick enough to read and recognize her hands signs and turn the stove off."

Sasuke looked away sheepishly. "umm..well.. it's an Uchiha tradition to teach your child Goukakyuu No Jutsu (Firestyle Jutsu) once they are close to turning five."

"In the kitchen?" Naruto asked his face twitching.

It was an unspoken fact that their rivalry had gone beyond just outdoing each other. It had moved onto teaching their children to outdo the other. They both just shrugged the topic off, as they both knew taunting the other one would only reveal their own secrets.

Sarada broke the awkwardness, "Naruto oji-chan, your ramen has cooked."

"Aaa" Naruto said as his eyes beamed at the thought of ramen and he made his way back to the kitchen.

"What happened to your hair?" Sarada asked as she examined it.

Sasuke just looked over at Bolt as a response. Who didn't have his hands held up anymore. He had his hand in a position a guy knew far too well…was he about to urinate on his wall?!

"NARUTO!" Sasuke yelled out.

"WHAT?! WHAT!?" A panic struck Naruto came rushing out with a spatula in his hand. Sasuke vigorously pointed his finger at Bolt.

Naruto followed his direction and realized just in time. "BOLT!"

"Why is everyone screaming?" Sarada asked a frown forming on her forehead.

Bolt turned his head around with a huge grin on his face. His hands were still in position. As Naruto rushed towards him, he artistically sprayed his yellow fluid on the wall.

"I am Yellow Flash!" Bolt declared beaming.

He was flashing alright.

Sasuke quickly wrapped his palm around Sarada's eye. He didn't want to contaminate his daughter's precious innocence, at least not under his watch, at least not from Bolt!

Naruto too earned the title of Yellow Flash as he reached besides Bolt in the blink of an eye.

"That is not what Yellow Flash stands for! You really thinkthis is what your grandfather went around doing and got famous for?!" Naruto said as he haphazardly carried Bolt outside the window towards the backyard.

As a token of appreciation for Bolt's artistic exhibition, his bare behind bore the prize which was engraved in a ripe spatula marking.

Since Sarada was deprived of her eyesight, her other senses grew sharper. "Something is burning" she said, her fingers placed on her Dads protective hands over her eyes.

On hearing that Naruto rushed to the kitchen like a hysterical woman, hands flaring in the process "OH MY GOD MY PORK CUTLETS!"

"And Daddy your hands are painting my glasses." Sarada said annoyed.

Sasuke removed his palm not realizing he was still soaked in paint. He bent down to reach Sarada's height. Her glasses were almost covered in paint, though she could see through a few missed out spaces. Sasuke ran his painted finger over the tip of her nose, leaving a white mark. Sarada wrinkled her nose and rub her hand over it. Sasuke smiled at the reaction.

Meanwhile Bolt climbed his way back through the window, caressing his tender behind from the spatula assault. He witnessed the Father – Daughter moment and looked away grumpily. All he had gotten from his father today was half a sore ass.

"It comes off with Shampoo." Bolt said as he pouted, averting his eyes from Sasuke.

Sasuke's next gesture took Bolt by surprise. His eyes widened as Sasuke's paint soaked finger tapped Bolt's forehead with a light force.

"I will get you next time." Sasuke said with half a smile. Bolt placed his palm over his forehead feeling the after sensation. It was very unlike his Uncle Sasuke to show such a gesture, in fact any gesture towards him. His face filled with a smile, he took up the challenge.

"It will be real glue next time oji san!" Bolt said as he pointed a finger at Sasuke's damp hair with confidence.

"As if I will let you." Sarada said standing in-between the two with half a vision and hands on her hip in defense.

"My cutlets.." Naruto appeared back in the hall showcasing a pitch black coated circle of a cutlet. He sniffed, tears filling his eyes.

Suddenly Naruto's face was forced with a tissue. "We can make another batch dattebasa!"

Naruto looked at Bolt. He willingly accepted the tissue and wiped out his tears.

"Dattebayo!" Naruto responded enthusiastically. And the father and son gave each other a fist bump.

"I am sorry to interrupt the heartwarming moment but…isn't that the same spatula you used on Bolt?" Sasuke asked warily.

"umm…well.." Naruto laughed nervously scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"We are home!" The awkwardness was cut as Sakura and Hinata made their way back into the house. They placed their shoes outside and made their way towards the hall, oblivious of the ruckus taking place "Look who we found on our wa…What the hell happened here?!"

Sakura looked around, her house was in a mess! The furniture was out of order, her pink apron was stained in colors she couldn't even recognize, her kitchen was filled with smoke, one wall was covered in black char, and what was that god forsaken stench...wait what is that trail of liquid from the wall to the backyard. And is her husband covered in…glue?

"Mom…is that you? I recognized your voice. I must rely on my other senses now that I'm blind." Sarada said with a straight face with hands held out trying to reach for Sakura, like a blind man searching his way.

"WHAT?!" Sakura asked panic struck.

"She is kidding. Her glasses are covered in paint, that's all!" Sasuke said defensively as he held back Sarada.

"Well she clearly inherited your sense of humor! Two hours! Two hours is all we asked of you and now look at this place!" Sakura said catching hold of Sarada's hand and taking her to the washroom. "I will get her cleaned up. This room better get back to the way it was when I return!" she deadpanned looking at the two fathers.

"Iruka sensei please have a seat." Hinata said gesturing him towards the sofa. "We met him at the market and invited him over." Hinata told the rest.

"Maybe it is not the best time." Iruka said laughing nervously.

"Iruka sensei have some of my ramen!" Naruto said smiling broadly.

"You rather not." Sasuke said as he adjusted the sofa. Iruka lent a hand.

"Let me take over the kitchen." Hinata said as she tried to take the spatula from Naruto's hand.

"I..I will ..umm..keep this." He held on to the spatula to discard it later.

It was late evening by the time the hall was back to the way Sakura had left it, free of any stains. The Uchiha's were all cleaned up and dressed. And the two families along with Iruka sensei had a hearty lunch all thanks to Hinata and her lovely cooking skills.

The sun was setting and the adults were gathered around the table, sipping in their tea and chewing of their tea time treats.

"The house is so peaceful. How I wish it could be like this all the time." Sakura said stretching out hers arms.

"That would mean Iruka sensei would have to permanently reside in the park with our kids." Naruto joked.

"That doesn't seem like such a bad idea right now." Sakura said leaning back and closed her eyes, completely relaxed.

Even though Sakura was joking, Hinata shifted in her spot uncomfortably dreading even the thought of letting go of Bolt.

Sakura suddenly opened her eyes, "Oh since the kids are not here this is the perfect time to discuss about Sarada's Birthday!"

"When is it?" Hinata asked.

"In three weeks. I wanted to do something exciting, though nothing really gets her excited." Sakura said making a face.

"She has gone on her father it seems." Naruto laughed.

"At least she is not as unfortunate as Bolt who got your face usuratonkachi." Sasuke shot back.

"What did you say!" Naruto said forcing his hand on the table.

"AYE! Stop it you two! How can you still quarrel like kids!" Sakura said.

Naruto and Sasuke just looked away in different directions.

Sakura sighed. Quickly changed the subject, "What are you planning for Bolt's birthday?"

"Oh there are three months for that. We have a lot of time." Hinata said.

Sakura and Hinata both collected the used tea cups and empty bowls and made their way towards the kitchen still talking about the birthday plans.

"Hmph" Sasuke made a noise and smirked.

"What!" Naruto said.

"Nothing."

"What is it duck face!"

Sasuke shot a look at Naruto. He shouldn't have gone to that old taunt of his hair resembling the back of a ducks ass.

"Bolt's birthday is close to 3 months after Sarada's birthday." Sasuke said smirk still stuck to his face.

"Yeah so?"

"So…I beat you to it."

"What did you say!"

"I said I beat you to it. Dead last."

"Teme!"

"What is it now!" Sakura asked hands on her hip, irritated.

Naruto paced towards the ladies, grabbed Hinata's hand and rushed out the door. "We are going!"

"But..but..Bolt?" Hinata said caught a little offguard.

"We can pick him up from Iruka sensei later."

"but Na..NaNaruto-kun." Hinata turned around and looked equally confused as Sakura. "Sorry Sakura-chan, Sasuke-kun."

The door shut behind them. Sasuke turned his gaze back to his tea and sensed Sakura waiting for answers. "What did you do?" she asked. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders gesturing he had no clue.

"Yes yes coming coming!" Sakura said as she reached out to answer the unstoppable door knocks.

"H..Hi!" Hinata said looking sorry to have disturbed them.

"SAKURA–CHAN!" Naruto called out her name, overjoyed.

"Hinata? Naruto? What brings you guys here." Sakura asked inviting them in.

"We have some special news to share." Naruto beamed while Hinata blushed. Sakura just raised an eyebrow in response.

"But before that Sakura-chan, do you have anything to tell us?" Naruto said in a hushed tone.

"Like what?" Sakura asked confused.

"Any good news? About anyone..I don't know..maybe someone new to join us?" Naruto tried to ask slyly.

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked clueless.

"Hmm okay." Naruto concluded there must be nothing. "Okay.. okay then!"

Naruto walked the hallway taking Hinata with him and Sakura followed. He saw a very disinterested Sasuke looked their way from above his newspaper as they entered his view.

"We have good news to share!" Naruto said smiling broadly.

Sasuke waited impatiently for him to continue.

"Any guesses?" Naruto asked testing their patience.

"Gosh just out with it already!" Sakura said as she clenched her fist.

"Okay okay! We are pregnant!" Naruto finally said as he placed his hand over Hinata's shoulder bringing her closer to him. Hinata blushed at the sudden PDA.

"Oh my gosh! Congratulations!" Sakura said as she hugged Hinata.

"Thank you Sakura-chan." Hinata said timidly.

"Was it planned?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Hmm..no..not really." Hinata said looking away.

"We should celebrate! Let me serve some left over cake." Sakura said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Let me help." Hinata said as she followed her.

Naruto looked at the ladies and then turned his gaze at Sasuke and walked over to sit beside him.

"Congratulations." Sasuke said dryly.

"Thank you." Naruto said trying to show indifference to the pleasantry.

Sasuke returned his attention back to his newspaper.

"Hmph" Naruto made a noise and smirked.

No reaction.

"HMPH!" Naruto grunted a little more forcefully.

"What?" Sasuke slightly looked over Naruto from over his newspaper.

"In a matter of a few more months I will have another kid." Naruto said, his voice filled with pride.

"So…?" Sasuke asked not getting the point.

"So…now I beat you to it." Naruto said as he folded his arms trying to show superiority.

Sasuke's eyes widened. He relaxed his hands which held the newspaper and paid complete attention to Naruto, realization striking him.

"Wait..are you saying when we had this conversation last and you stormed off..it was for this..?" Sasuke asked curious.

Naruto just shrugged his shoulders conveying how obvious it was.

Sasuke smiled and soon it turned into a loud laugh.

Naruto was taken aback by the reaction, his superiority losing its ground.

"What?" Naruto asked. Sasuke continued laughing. "What?!" Naruto asked anxiously.

"You are pathetic. Wait till Hinata finds out how unplanned this really was." Sasuke said finally catching a hold of his laughter.

"Wait what? No no no! Are you crazy! You can't tell her that!" Naruto said petrified.

Sasuke smirked having realized how the tables turned so quickly.

"Can't tell who what?" Sakura asked as she placed four plates with cake on the table.

"Umm..umm..nothing!" Naruto said placing his hands ahead defensively.

"What is it!" Sakura asked as she saw Sasuke looking away and laughing. "Share the joke with us too!"

"It's nothing Sakura-chan. Just some silly guy talk." Naruto said as sweat drops formed on his forehead.

"Are you going to tell us or not." Sakura demanded.

Naruto was dumbfounded. He looked at Sasuke to rescue him. Sasuke cleared his voice and spoke, "He was asking me if we are sure we don't have any similar news like theirs to share."

Sakura shook her head and spoke brushing off the topic, "Naruto I told you there is noth.."

"He says because you sure look like you do." Sasuke cut her off.

Naruto looked over at Sasuke stunned. Sasuke was grinning away.

Naruto's attention went back as he sensed a shadow forming over him.

"Sa..Sa..Sakura-chan..I didn't " Naruto said shaking his hand in denial.

"What do you mean I look like I am pregnant!" Sakura's eyes glared devils green, hair spread out in anger and hands formed a tight fist.

"SHANNARO!"

Naruto said his last prayer of hoping to survive to see his soon to be daughter, Himawari.

A.N: Hello again! That was a surprisingly lengthy chapter for me! I hope you liked it! :D

I was asked where Himawari was in the last chapter. Well according to me Himari and Bolt have at least 5 years age difference. Since in the manga Bolt is in the academy while Himwari isn't, it is safe to assume she isn't older than 5 years and Bolt to me looks like he is at least 10. But gain this is my assumption. And since no exact information is given about these kids and since this is a fan fiction story, I think I will stick to this.

Also I am excited to announce that I will be uploading a new chapter early next week. It will be sidetracking the current story line, but it is still between chapter 699 and 700. Let's just say it is like a bonus chapter! I hope you will enjoy that as well.

Btw did anyone get a chance to watch The last Naruto movie? I am dying to watch it!

Also is anyone missing Itachi as much as me in this story? Maybe I could do something about that ;)

Let me know if you guys liked this chapter. Their rivalry never ends! Any ideas, views, suggestion are welcome!

REVIEW PLEASE!
