Family
"HAKU! HAKU!" the blond jumped in order to reach the zone where the boy was standing and gave him a big hug "I can't believe it's really you!"
"Hey, hey, easy Naruto-kun" said Haku being victim of the amazing friendship show
Naruto let go and put a hand in Haku's shoulder "I see you still sound and look like a girl" he greeted joking with a big smile
"And I see you are still noisy and orange-wearing" he replied with a nice smile "I apologize for the aggressive welcome; we received a group from the sand country a couple of days ago and they resulted to be impostors. I ordered Tohru to be extra cautious" he explained
"I understand, but some members of my team will need attention. After all, some of them are out cold" said Naruto referring to the shinobi at the feet of the cliff
"I have already ordered a group of medics to come here", said a young man in an 'I'm-here-kill-me' yellow vest who presented a pair of white eyes Naruto recognized easily.
"Who are you?" asked the blond
"This is Tohru-san, my second in command, an expert in genjutsu" explained Haku
"Well, more than being an expert, it's the only technique I can use. My name is Kasugano Tohru, I'm twenty years old and it is a pleasure to meet you. Please forgive my rudeness just a minute ago. I have to say your skills are amazing, to fight so many of my illusions at the same time; you did better than most of your team" explained Tohru with a friendly smile
"What? You mean, all those guys were illusions?!" asked Naruto with disbelief
"Uh huh, and not only that: the giant rock and the rock prison of that blond girl" explained Tohru
"All genjutsu?!" Naruto couldn't believe it
"Yep, all genjutsu" added Haku
"Why did you asked for reinforcements with such a guy on your side?"
"Well Tohru-san may be capable of holding a group of people, but he can't stop a whole army" explained Haku
"Yeah, I don't have enough chakra even to stop all your group, my team helped me to entertain those I couldn't manage" said the white eyed using his hand to refer to the five girls to his side
"Kunnoichi? All of them?" Naruto questioning again
"Yes, we are all women. Got a problem with that?" asked back a girl in red
"Now, easy Subaru-chan, lets go meet our new teammates and do the proper introductions, ok?" proposed Tohru
"Ok" accepted Subaru crossing her arms
OoOoOoO
Five minutes after, the medic team had arrived, checked the unconscious and brought the team to top shape, giving some soldier pills and healing the wounds, which were only superficial.
"Welcome, I'd like to apologize for the harsh situation, my name is Haku" said the girl-look-alike boy. He was dressed in a light blue kimono like shirt, light purple pants, a pair of sandals and showed no headband. His hair was long and loose, with the endings to the outside "I'm the current leader of the Waterfall village as my predecessor was killed a few days ago. I'm 18 years old, and used to be a hunter ninja in the hidden mist village" said the boy with a nice smile that made him look even more like a woman. At the mention of the passed away, a shadow covered Sakura's and Naruto's faces "this man is my second on command" he said putting his hand on Tohru's shoulder
"Thanks, Haku-kun. Hello there, I'm Kasugano Tohru, the one in charge of the defenses and general well being of the village; I'm 20 years old" Tohru could easily compete against Naruto's outfit about which one would catch more attention: he wore a pair of pale green pants, a bright red t-shirt and a his 'I'm-here-kill-me' yellow vest; his dark brown hair was long, reaching his waist, and his eyes were of a pale lilac-white without pupil "I'm a member of the village militia, I don't have a rank but I received some shinobi training"
That explains his basic level in Jyuuken. Surely one of his parents was a Hyuuga, but I don't remember anyone who left the clan in order to live in Waterfall village thought Hinata
"Wait! You are the one in charge of defending the village right?" asked Temari
"Why, yes, that's right" he answered
"Then you are the one in charge of that man in black robes and green mask right?" Temari again
"No, those black robed men were just illusions, genjutsu" explained the yellow wearing
"What?!" Sakura said with disbelieve
"But he damaged me for real" appealed Tenten
"His genjutsu affects directly your mind, not only your senses. Your mind makes it real, it's a psychosomatic effect" explained the girl in dark clothing
"And who would you be?" asked Shino curious about his attacker
"Mornia" she simply said
"Mornia-chan, is a Gennin kunoichi from the hidden snow village; she's 16 years old and her technique is…" started to explain the little girl with pink hair
"The usage of Dark Chakra" finished Shino taking a good look at the girl; she had pale skin, almost as if she was dead. Her eyes and hair were jet black, her hair was slightly curled in the end. She was using black very elegant clothes and a black light armor with a white Ying-Yang design in the back and the chest, the armor covered part of the arms and legs.
"I thought the Dark Chakra was just a theory" was Shikamaru's input
"Apparently it has come out from the formula" said Kankurou
"Hey! Mornia is Mina's best friend! Don't talk about her as if she was not here, that's mean!" said the small pink haired girl
"You are Mina right?" asked Gaara recalling his meeting with the small girl
"Y-yes" she blushed at the sight of the Kazekage, Hinata knew that reaction all too well "Pikeru Mina, I come from a temple on the west side of the continent. I'm not really a ninja, but I found myself stuck in this conflict. 15 years old"
"WHAT?!" yelled Naruto
"I thought she was our age" said Konohamaru
"HELL YEAH, BUT COMES THIS GIRL IS OUR AGE-TTEBAYO!" Kept yelling Naruto
"She does look younger than she is" admitted Hinata
"Mina may be small, but she's reliable" said the cat eared girl
"You, you are the one I fought back there" recognized Lee
"Yes, that's right. My name is Kanya. I was a Chunnin in the grass village but came here running from the plans of Orochimaru, I'm 15 years old" she said swinging her tail
"Can I ask, why do you look so different?" was Sakura's question
"Well, advanced Jutsu never came to me easily; as a matter of fact I was only able to catch the basics, like Henge and taijutsu. I had difficulties even with bunshin and substitution, so I chose to focus on what I could do, becoming an expert of the Henge jutsu. Now I can transform my body to have different abilities, depending the situation I'm thrown at. For example I can become as fierce as a tiger!" she said as her fur changed to a striped pattern and claws appeared in her hands "or as resistant as a crocodile" and her skin became rough and scaled, to then return completely to her usual looks
"Well you at least can do Henge" said Tohru "I never learned to use any ninjutsu, even substitution"
"Continuing with the presentations" said Haku "the girl in the red haori is Subaru, and next to her is Kanami, in the dark green haori"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Kobayashi Subaru, Gennin of the hidden village in the snow; I'm 15 years old and hope we can all get along just fine" Subaru had a pretty face and a very developed body; she wore a black fishnet behind her haori and white pants, her hair was black, and shone blue in the light, her eyes were purple.
"I'm Nakamura Kanami, 15 years old, Gennin of the hidden snow" she said with a small bow. Kanami had a beautiful face, long brown hair that fell over her ears; she wore mauve pants and t-shirt over which she used her dark green haori
"Why all the snow nin are Gennin?" asked Moegi
"The snow was a village that suffered lots of changes recently; therefore, they haven't been given the opportunity to participate in the Chunnin exams, this year will be the first one they will take part" explained Sakura
"But even if they are Gennin, these girls' skills of are at least Chunnin" said Haku confidently "Well, everyone" he said referring to both waterfall and snow shinobi "I'd like to introduce my good friend, the skillful Uzumaki Naruto" he said
"You forgot strong and handsome" corrected Hinata with a smile, Haku answered the smile
"The skillful, strong, and handsome…" said Haku
"And future Hokage!" added Naruto
"…and future Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto" finished Haku
"Heh, yeah that's me dattebayo!" said the blond with a large smile and his hands behind his head "I'm Chunnin rank, I'm 15 years old, Konoha ninja, and leader of the team. This is my wife, Uzumaki Hinata" he said referring to Hinata with his hand
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm 15 years old, Chunnin" said the white eyed with a bow
"Wow, I didn't know you were married Naruto-kun!" said Haku
"It happened just recently, Hina-chan and I have been together for about two years now" explained the blond
"I see; it's a pleasure to meet the wife of such a great man" said Haku bowing
"Thanks" giggled Hinata
"And the rest of the team, here is Inuzuka Kiba" continued the blond
"Ho'cha doin'? Name's Kiba, 15 years old, Chunnin, this is my buddy Akamaru" he said rubbing the back of the ear of the large dog, who barked happily
"Next is Aburame Shino" continued the blond
"16, Chunnin" Shino said simply bowing slightly with the head
"Akimichi Chouji"
"Good day! Akimichi Chouji, 16 years old, I'm also a Chunnin" he said eating some potato chips, the last he had
"The guy with the bored look is Nara Shikamaru, believe it or not he's very smart" explained Naruto
"Troublesome, 18, Chunnin, if you have to know" he said with his hands in his pockets
"The blond girl is Yamanaka Ino"
"Hello! I'm not only a very skilled and extremely good looking girl but also a medic nin Chunnin, I'm 15 years old!" she said joyfuly
"Next is the brunette with buns, Tenten"
"Hi, I'm 16, Chunnin also, it's a pleasure to meet you" she said showing a 'v' with her hand and wrinkling
"The serious looking guy is Hyuuga Neji"
Neji bowed "Hyuuga Neji, 16 Years old, Jounin; I'm looking forward to work with you"
"And the fuzzy eyebrows, Rock Lee"
"Greetings!! I'm the handsome green devil of Konoha, I'm 17 years old!! I'm happy to be able to fight along so skilled shinobi!" he said saluting first and then doing his nice guy pose "Our fires of youth will surely…" he continued talking about the youth and the fires but no one seemed to pay him any attention
"There he goes again" sighed Kanya
"Uh, is he always like this?" whispered Subaru to Kiba
"Pretty much" he admitted
"Uh, Lee? Thanks for the speech, but, do you mind if we finish this off?" asked Sakura
"Yeah, this is troublesome enough as it is" said Shikamaru
"Certainly! I will continue explaining the fires of youth after Naruto-kun finishes!" said the green spandex nin
"Thank you" said Naruto "This is my sister Uzumaki Sakura, she's one hell of a medic nin! One of the best in the world dattebayo, she's 16"
"Hi" Sakura waved her hand, and blushed a little with the praising "we will be working together, nice to meet you"
"It's our turn! We are the infamous Konohamaru corps!" said Konohamaru "I'm the leader! Konohamaru of the Leaf, future Seventh Hokage! Don't be fooled by my outstanding skill, I'm only 12 years old"
"The mathematic Shinobi, Udon, 11 years old" said the boy with glasses continuing the introduction
"The Kunoichi with adult's sex appeal! Moegi, even if I'm gorgeous, I'm also young, I'm 11 years old" finished the girl
"Konohamaru corps!!" said the three in unison
"Quite the attention caller isn't it?" said Kanami with a good hearted tone
"…noisy…" said a monotonic Mornia
"It think it was funny, I like these kids" said Subaru
"It remembers me Naruto-kun when he was younger" said Haku
"Can't help being a role model" said Naruto with his hand behind his head
"Who's the other girl?" asked Kanya noticing she had not introduced herself as a member of the corps
"She's my younger sister, Hanabi, Hyuuga Hanabi" explained Hinata
"Good evening, I'm Hyuuga Hanabi, Gennin ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, I'm 11 years old, it's a pleasure to meet you" she said bowing and with an outmost respectful tone
"Uh, she is so formal" said Tohru being a little surprised
"SHE'S SO CUTE!" said Mina hugging Hanabi, clearly making her feel uncomfortable because of the excessively affective demonstration
"Leave Hana-chan alone" said Konohamaru pushing Mina a little and standing between the older and the younger girl
"Oh! And she's got a boyfriend!" cheered Mina smiling
"Wha- no- really-that's not how it is" both Konohamaru and Hanabi said
"Uh, really? I would have swear…" said Mina buying the excuse
"but, that's not it, right? Hanabi-chan?" asked Konohamaru nervous
"Yes, yes, Konohamaru-kun" she answered also nervous
"I see…that's a shame because the two of you look so nice together! I mean, you talk and move the same way" Mina finished making the Gennin blush
"Anyway" Naruto continued saving them from a longer scene "These three are the sand siblings, Temari, Kankuro and Gaara"
"My name's Temari, I'm 18, my rank is Chunnin"
"Let's get this over with, I'm damn bored. I'm the puppet master Kankurou, I'm 17 years old and I'm a Chunnin"
"I'm Gaara, the Kazekage, at least for the few people who are still loyal to me. I'm willing to help you defeat this treat, and recover the control over my village"
"Lastly, but not least, Hatake Kakashi-Sensei"
"Who? Me?" asked Kakashi from behind one of his perverted books
"Hatake…?" asked Subaru
"…Kakashi?" finished Kanami, both girls looked at each other
"…I see…" was Mornia's only answer
"Haku-senpai, could he be…?" asked Kanya
"I see, that makes sense…" said Tohru
"What makes sense? What are we talking about?" Mina hadn't catch a glimpse of what was apparently something important for her teammates, something related to Kakashi
"Yes girls, he is…"
"What is he? Haku? What's going on?" asked Naruto
"Well, Kakashi sensei is a very famous person, it wouldn't be a surprise if…" started Sakura
"No, that's not really it, Sakura-san" said Haku "but pay no attention to it since it isn't something important to you, at least for the moment. Let's get going, the village is nearby"
oOoOoOo
Hidden Waterfall obtained its name because the entrance was behind a big waterfall in the middle of the forest; however, the most impressive part of the village wasn't it's exteriors, but what was behind the waterfall.
The city was build behind a colossal tree, which served as the center of the village, with a small temple at it roots; water filled a large area around the tree and the gap between the blocks of the city, multiple traditional built houses, shops, warehouses, and gardens were on sections of solid ground connected by bridges; the ceiling of the village was covered by numerous branches of the central tree and sections of the forest, which continued around. Above the village, even though, enough sun filtrated through the vegetal ceiling to illuminate the village.
"Kakashi-san, can I ask you a favor?" asked Haku as soon as they entered the village
"Uh, sure, if I can do it I don't see a problem with that" replied the ex-ANBU
"Would you mind going to the little temple below the large tree in the center of the village? There's the main gathering point for the militia and the strategic command of the defense. I think you might like to exchange strategies or something with the main leader of our forces there" assured the boy
"Uh…ok, sure" replied Kakashi not completely getting it, and with the feeling that something was amiss; even so, he got on his way
The rest of the group started to walk towards the northern part of the village
"Say, Haku, how come you're alive?" asked Naruto "I remember, well…the Chidori going through your chest, as well as burring you…"
"That's not a nice story Naruto-kun, and certainly it doesn't fit the welcoming and reunion of good friends" explained Haku
"Then can you tell me how Shibuki died!?" Naruto asked again
"He died as a true hero, defending the village against the first attack. It was a terrible force, the strongest approach of the enemy so far and the village would have been destroyed if he had acted any other way" explained Haku full of proud for his predecessor "It seems that you met him; you should be proud of him, he was a great Shinobi"
They continued walking through the streets; a lot of shinobi were walking around, checking the structure of some semi destroyed buildings, carrying weapons and equipment for one side to the other, or running messages from the front defenses to the head quarters. Even with the large number of ninja moving in the streets very few of them carried a Waterfall head protector, there could be seen ninja from almost every village, Hinata even saw one of the Sound helping carrying some kunai.
"Why are there so many Shinobi from so many different villages?" asked Hinata "are they allies? Or refugies?"
"A little bit of both, the village was a little place with almost no enemies, therefore a lot of Shinobi who ran from the war came asking for shelter and Shibuki accepted them all without questions. The problem came when a few days ago, the Sound with its alliances came to this village; the village itself was too small to really take the interest of any force, but with such a large number of shinobi refugees here, it started to bring attention" explained Haku. Finally they reached a large four stories tall building with a very traditional construction "Come in, we'll talk further in my office"
OoOoOoO
Kakashi reached the small island that served as base because of its large roots; a lot of movement could be seen in the zone, shinobi carried information from the guarding posts, along with weapons and requests for men or equipment; others trained around or made plans on tables full of maps and documents. A small temple rested in the base of the monstrous tree. Kakashi walked towards it.
He opened the door slowly. Inside there was a man looking at table at least three times larger than the ones outside; several lamps were illuminating the place, but Kakashi couldn't see clearly the face of the tall man in front of him
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked the man hastily without even giving Kakashi a look "I'm busy right now"
"Uh, well my name is Kakashi, and the boy named Haku asked me to come here and talk to the man who coordinates the military forces of the village, who I think is you" said Kakashi from the door with a lazy voice "but I suppose I'll come back later"
"Wait, you said your name is Kakashi? Like in HatakeKakashi?" asked the man raising his face. His face was slim but a little more squared than Kakashi's, his hair was a little shorter than the Konoha ninja, but had the same silver tone
oOoOoOo
Haku leaded them to a large office located on the top floor of the building. It was very similar to Tsunade's back in Konoha and had a large desk and a some living room furniture
Haku offered them to take a seat as he asked for some extra chairs to a guard. He explained how he was currently both, political and military leader of the waterfall village, and how Tohru was the one in charge of having the village running smoothly and the defense of the main entrance. The Snow team sensei was the one coordinating the military advances of the village, meaning they would have to introduce to him whenever they could.
"I understand" Naruto said after the brief explanation about the village organization "however, our mission consists on something more than that, and it could also affect the defense of the village"
"What is it Naruto-kun?" asked Tohru
"The Sound stole an urn from the treasure chamber of the Hokage tower in Konoha. According the fifth, it contains a very strong demon, capable of stopping the legendary Kyuubi"
"If Orochimaru was to use this new weapon against us…" Haku voice showed fear
"It would probably mean the end of the village" Naruto finished for him
"That's why we must be very, very careful and look for that urn as soon as possible" Hinata said
"Even so, no one knows the exact location of the Sound base. There is no hint to where the urn could be, right?" asked Haku. Naruto and Hinata negated with the head "then we can't do a thing, but hope that they don't find a way to control such a terrible power"
OoOoOoO
Far away from the village, said urn was in dark laboratory. Kabuto, Orochimaru's second in command, was making several tests in order to try controling the power of the beast sealed inside it; so far, nothing had thrown good results, and Orochimaru was loosing his patience.
Kabuto removed his glasses and massaged where these rested, retiring his attention from the papers he was studying. He checked the hour: it was almost midday and Orochimaru would enter the romm any second now, asking for results, which he didn't have.
And talking about the Devil, Orochimaru entered the laboratory, Sasuke closely behind and after the Uchiha a black haired girl with tanned skin.
"Do you have any good news Kabuto?" asked Orochimaru
"Not yet, Orochimaru-sama, her powers are far too strong to be controlled without sealing her in a human" explained the medic nin
"Sealing the demon? Creating a Jinchuriki? But it could take years until the container could fully control the power!" said Orochimaru
"Not if the container is a very strong shinobi" Kabuto said as his hand tried to reach the girl behind Sasuke, but the said Uchiha gripped his wrist strongly pressing it
"Leave her away of your filthy experiments" he said cold and monotonic, releasing the hand. Kabuto held his damaged wrist trying to ease the pain
"Easy Sasuke-kun, if you don't want that little girl to be harmed you must provide another subject for the experiment, kukuku" laughed the snake Sannin
Sasuke closed his eyes and left the room in silence. The girl stuck out her tongue to Kabuto and left following the Uchiha
"Ne, Sasuke, why are you sticking with that pedophilic gay old man and his even gayer clown of a sidekick?" asked the girl
"I would have gotten rid of both a long time ago Hikari, since Orochimaru no longer has anything to teach me; however, he got some info I'm interested in" he said taking a look at his katar blade "and also there is this dark god or something he made contact with. It would be foolish to act without further information, especially since that thing told him about that damn urn. So, I'll play 'puppet' for a little while. Come on; let's get the troops ready. We need to find him a fit subject for his wicked experiments"
The girl just sighed and with a funny grin answered.
"Ok 'nii-san' "
oOoOoOo
"Kouta? Is that really you?" asked Kakashi
"Of course it is me, you bastard!" said the man with a light hearted tone walking to Kakashi
"But how is that possible? I thought you were killed in that mission in the Snow country!" Kakashi said as both men embraced each other
"It takes more than a few weaklings like those to bring down your older brother!" said the man looking Kakashi in the eye "I went into hiding, and then I heard that you had brought back the princess and freed the country; however, you left before I could find you. The village of the snow restarted its business and asked me to be Jounin instructor. Soon after that, the Sound village started its military campaign and things happened one after another. I haven't got the time to go meet you, so I tried sending you several letters but I never got any reply. I'm afraid you never got any of them"
"More like I don't check my mail box" Kakashi corrected
"Is that so? I see you've changed a lot from the obsessive, perfectionist 'genius' boy I left so many years ago" laughed Kouta
"Yes, but you could have sent a hawk or something" said Kakashi
"Yeah…I suppose that really never crossed my mind" apologized Kouta
"I see we both have changed. Let's see those things you were analyzing when I entered and we can catch up while we see maps and strategies"
"But I see you're still serious about business… come on little brother!"
Both silver haired men turned and focused on the maps before them and talked for hours, until the sun rose again the next day
OoOoOoO
In the blink of an eye five weeks passed. The Konoha shinobi started to work helping in everything they could. Sakura, Hinata and Ino used their medical training to help in the village hospital. Shikamaru helped as tactician with Kakashi and Kouta. Tenten and Lee gave support to Kanya in the training grounds of the militia. Neji and Kiba joined the scout groups along Subaru. Naruto, Tohru, and Haku focused on keeping the village in good shape and running. Gaara and Mina could be seen going together from one place to the other, however it was more like Mina was following the Kazekage rather than the two being with each other. Chouji volunteered to help in the hospital, everyone accepted as it was better than having him waiting in the guarding posts eating some snacks. Temari and Kankurou helped Kanami with the reparations of previous battles among the village and on the guarding spots. The four little Gennin of the leaf were left to continue their training with some occasional input from any of the older shinobi. Just like Mina and Gaara, Shino and Mornia were also helping in everything they could, constantly switching roles.
The days were long and terribly stressing, especially for Naruto, as he always returned to the little apartment Haku had given to the couple at late hours. Hinata used to wait up awake really late just to find Naruto terribly tired, thus he went to sleep almost instantly, waking up at the next morning just to take a quick shower, dress up and leave again for the rest of the day. Hinata understood how things weren't easy for anyone, but after weeks she was starting to miss Naruto, after all, they had spend three years together and now they were seeing each other almost as much as in their Gennin days
One night Hinata couldn't sleep. She felt totally uncomfortable in the bed, which was weird because she usually slept well. Not wanting to wake Naruto up she left the bed. She had a terrible head ache, and nauseas. She though the stress and long days in the hospital could probably be affecting her when she threw up, loosing her small dinner.
"Honey? Are you ok?" asked Naruto from the door of the bathroom half sleep
Hinata looked out from the bathroom wanting to answer that everything was ok, that she was just having a rough week, but something else came from her mouth "No, I'm not, AS A MATTER OF FACT I'M NOT!" she found herself shouting at her husband! "YOU ARE ALWAYS SO VERY BUSY! YOU COME BACK LATE AT NIGH AND WE ALMOST NEVER TALK ANY MORE! I'M LUCKY IF I CAN ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR DAY BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP! FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN GOING DOWN! I'M TIRED OF THIS! I WANT TO RECOVER THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU ONLY HAD ME TO TALK WITH; THOSE WERE SOME VERY, VERY SWEET DAYS! BUT NOW YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME!" Hinata slammed shut the door of the bathroom, leaving a surprised Naruto outside
"Nani? Hinata, what was that?" Naruto tried to open the door, but it was locked "Hinata? Come on, my love, open the door" Naruto knocked the door, but got no answer "Hinata? COME ON HINATA OPEN THE DOOR!" he said knocking harder "DON'T MAKE ME BREAK THE DOOR TO THE BATHROOM!" Hinata started to cry
"Maybe coming to this mission wasn't the best idea; maybe we married to soon, I don't know if this will work out anymore" she said through the door
"Oh, don't worry, it will work out, come out and let's talk this out"
"No! Go away Naruto, leave me alone!"
"Fine Hina-chan. Have it your way!" he said turning his back to the door, grabbing his jacket and jumping out of the window into the city
After some seconds of silence, Hinata called her husband "Na-naruto?" No answer came and she called again "sweetheart?" again no answer. She opened the door and found the window open, the curtains weaving dancing with the new morning wind and no blond to hug her. She felt as lonely as when she was a little girl, that 'weird and dark' little girl, she cried again. Why didn't he tried to talk to me longer? Is it that he doesn't care for me anymore? He should have tried to make me come out a little more!
OoOoOoO
"I don't understand, Gaara, what's up with her?" Naruto had come to one of his best friends, and the only one that was awake at any hour in the day, even the first hours of the morning
"She's maybe under too much pressure because of this entire situation, and the conditions aren't helping her. Give her time, come back home earlier today and talk to her. I'm sure it will help both of you. And don't worry about your work, I'll cover you up" Said Gaara, putting one hand on Naruto's shoulder and slightly smiling to his friend
"Thanks Gaara, you rock" Naruto smiled
oOoOoOo
It had been a though day at the hospital, one of the northern guard posts had been attacked, and several injured shinobi had entered in emergency. Most were treated swiftly, but there was this one which had lost a lot of blood, and his situation was critical
"We need to perform a blood transfusion!" said Sakura "We need to find a donator!"
"What type of blood is he?" asked Chouji
"The report says he's A, but I'm not sure, the report isn't confirmed!" said Ino
"I can't wait until it's confirmed! I'll take my chances, find me an A blood type donator!"
"I'll do it!" said Hinata "My blood type is A"
"Ok, Ino, please take a sample and send it quickly to be examined" Sakura knew that even in this thigh situation she had a process to follow "find me quickly other two or three donators!"
Ten minutes later the results came, with very important news
"Sakura, we can't use Hinata, we must use the other donators" explained Ino
"Why?" asked Sakura
"Check out her blood analysis" said the blond handing the paper to the pink haired
"Oh my god!" she said reading the analysis
OoOoOoO
One hour later, things had finally calmed in the hospital and the three girls were talking in the bathrooms; they were washing their hands after a long day of work
"Uh, hey Hinata, can I ask you something?" asked Sakura
"Sure, what is it?" accepted the white eyed
"Have you been feeling different lately?" the pink haired questioned
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe feeling a little sick in the morning? Or having weird changes of humor?" asked Ino
"Well, I did felt nauseas this morning, and I yelled at Naruto today. I don't like to admit it, but I've been feeling a little depressed when he isn't home" said Hinata shyly "Why? Do you feel the same? I think it's because of the stress"
"Well, I do feel tired, but I think it's because of different things" said Sakura "have you skipped your period?"
"I skipped it last time, but I've heard its normal when stressed, or under certain situations of pressure"
"Well, I'm afraid that's not your case girl" said Ino
"What do you mean? You couldn't possibly mean…" trailed the Uzumaki
"Hinata, you are pregnant!" said Sakura happily
"Congratulations!" said Ino
"Oh my god!" said Hinata taking her hand to his mouth, for a second it seemed as if the white eyed was going to faint
"Hey, Hinata, are you ok?" asked Ino
"Y-yes, don't worry" said Hinata breathing "I am really going to have a child?"
"Yes you are!" confirmed Sakura
"I-I'm going to be a mother!" said Hinata happy and surprised. The child of Naruto! This is a dream come true! "I have to tell him! Could you two please cover me?"
"Sure thing, go now, we've got everything under control" assured Ino
"Thanks girls, you are the best!" said Hinata giving them a hug before running out of the bathroom
Sakura ran behind her and yelled from the door "Hey! Don't over do it!"
oOoOoOo
Naruto, Tohru and Haku were analyzing a little problem with the supplies of the village when a knock on the door called their attention
"Come in" said Haku, the door opened to reveal Hinata
"I-I'm sorry, can I speak with Na-naruto-kun, ple-please?" she said playing with her fingers
"Uh, I don't see a problem with that" said Tohru
"Yeah, go on" Haku approved
Naruto went to the door; he knew something was happening. Hinata didn't say a word, but with a look she asked him to follow her. They went to a nearby park, took a seat on a bench and stayed in silence for some seconds
"Uh Hinata? About, this morning…I…"
"I'm pre-pre-pregnant" she said simply, interrupting him
"Nani?" he asked looking her in the eye, she only blushed a little and affirmed with the head "Oh my god! Hinata that is awesome!" he said standing up, taking her by the waist and lifting her in the air, turning around.
For a moment there wasn't a war knocking at their door, there was no pain, no doubts, they weren't even shinobi but a simple young couple who was going to have a baby
"Na-naruto-kun, I feel a little dizzy"
"I'm sorry!" he apologized leaving her softly on her feet again
"It's ok" she said giving him a hug
"I can't believe this!" he said with a huge smile answering the hug "We are going to have a child!"
"Yes Naruto, you are going to be dad"
"I'm going to be a dad" he repeated "I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!" he yelled to the world at the top of his lungs with absolute happiness, this was the best day of his life
