Once Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kushina arrived back inside the hidden leaf village, Sakura helped Hinata start planning her baby shower. Everyone was so excited since they didn't know whether or not it was going to be a boy or a girl. Sasuke made a point of saying that he hoped it would be a girl, because the last thing they needed was another Naruto around. However everyone knew he was just teasing about it. That afternoon Sasuke helped Naruto introduce the triplets to their grandmother. The boys welcomed her with open arms as she came over for lunch, but for the first time in her life Sasame didn't quite know what to say.
"It's nice to meet you Sasame." Kushina said greeting her with a warm smile but all she could do was stand there and stare blankly up at her. Inside she felt so embarrassed because she couldn't move or say anything at all. "What do you say Sasame?" Sasuke asked his daughter trying to remind her of her manners. "Oh it's alright Sasuke, I don't blame her for being a little shy and unsure about me, I mean right now I'm a stranger to her. And as a ninja she has been taught well to always be on top of her guard." Kushina told him when suddenly Sakura came in through the door carrying a pizza.
"It's about time." Sasame said. "Now she talks." Sasuke said with a roll of his eyes. "So, how did the baby shower go?" he asked his wife. "Uh, alright, I guess." Sakura said with a shrug as she carried the pizza into the kitchen and Sasame raced inside it after her. The two boys were already seated down at the table and waiting patiently for their food. Sasuke slowly walked inside the kitchen as Sakura placed the pizza box on top of the counter and started getting plates out of the cupboards. "Oh come on Cherry I know you, whenever one of your friends is having a baby I can't get you to shut up about it." Sasuke told her.
"Now come on and tell me what's going on." He told her. "Nothing's going on." She answered as she grabbed ahold of some napkins and started setting the table. "Wow you and Naruto really are related. You're as bad of a liar as he is." Sasuke told her. "Come on Sasuke leave her alone, if she wants to keep it a secret than it's none of your business." Naruto said as he grabbed a plate and took a piece of pizza out of the box and sat down in-between Sasame and Sakori. "Yum!" he exclaimed. "I'd never thought I'd say this but Naruto's right." Sakura said as her mother grabbed a piece of pizza and sat down next to Naruto. "Hey!" he shouted as Kushina giggled at him. Her children could be rather adorable at times.
"I just want to make sure that there's nothing wrong with you that's all." Sasuke said. "Well you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." She assured her husband before giving him a peck on the lips. That's when suddenly Naruto's cellphone rang. "Can somebody get that, I sort of have to take care of something. You know," he began before taking a sip of his soda and then running out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. Sasuke simply just rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Hello?" he groaned after he grabbed ahold of Naruto's cellphone and answered it. After a few moments went by his eyes widened. "You're joking." He said as everyone else turned to look at him. "Alright don't worry we'll be right there." He said before he hung up. "What was that all about?" Sakura asked him. "That was Hinata, she's going to have the baby." He explained. "Naruto get back in here!" Sasuke shouted down the hallway as Naruto quickly flushed the toilet and ran back into the kitchen. "What did I miss?" he asked as he continued to zip up his zipper. "That was your wife, she's in labor." Sasuke told him.
"Ah nuts! Come on guys we have to hurry up and get her down to the hospital fast!" he exclaimed as he quickly grabbed ahold of Sasuke's hand. "Calm down Naruto, we have plenty of time to get there." He told him. "Yeah I know but still the baby could arrive at any moment, and I still have to be there with Hinata while she's going through labor pains. I mean for crying out loud Sasuke, I'm about to become a father do you have any idea what kind of huge responsibility that is!?" he cried. "Oh gosh no Naruto tell me." Sasuke said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes before everyone rushed out the door.
…
Naruto paced the hospital lobby floor. He hadn't gone inside Hinata's room when she was about to deliver for the fact that he was afraid that he might pass out when his child was born. "Gee Sasuke, were you this nervous when the triplets were born?" Naruto asked him. "Yes but part of it was Sasame wasn't breathing and I wasn't sure if she was going to be alright." He answered. "Don't worry Naruto, I'm sure Hinata and the baby will be just fine." Sakura assured him with a grin. "Gee thanks for your support Sakura." He told her. "No problem." She began. "I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew." She said. "And I can't wait to meet my new grandchild." Kushina said when suddenly the nurse walked down the hallway.
"Which one of you is Naruto Uzumaki?" she questioned. "That's me, is my wife alright?" he asked her. "Yes, your wife and your son are both doing just fine." She answered. "My son? You mean_" Naruto began. "Yep, your wife has just given birth to happy and healthy baby boy." She told him happily. "And you may go and see them now." She told him. "Great, do you guys want to come?" Naruto asked turning to the rest of his family. "No thanks, we'll be back there later. That'll give you some time to get to know Boruto a little bit." Sakura answered.
"Alright and thanks again Sasuke." Naruto said. "For what?" Sasuke asked him. "For the name choice." Naruto answered. "But I didn't_" Sasuke began shaking his head. "I know but you helped give us the idea. I mean after all Boruto means bolt, like a lightning bolt. And you use that lightning cutter that my dad taught you so it's sort of like a homage to both of you."
Naruto explained with a mischievous little giggle. Sasuke grinned back at him before he turned and followed the nurse down the hallway. That's when suddenly Sasuke noticed that something had fallen out of Sakura's pocket and he bent down to pick it up. It read; Tryouts for the Konoha talent show begin November 1st! "Uh Sakura, do you mind telling me what this is all about?" Sasuke asked when Sakura simply just blushed back at him.
