Chapter Twelve: Revelation

Naruto and Sasuke met little resistance in their mission, until they reached the base where they were to free the prisoners. Sasuke was famous in these parts for killing Orochimaru. As they reached the base, loud noises could be heard from within.

"What the hell is happening in there?" Naruto asked in a loud voice.

Sasuke had predicted this. With their captor dead, they were beginning to riot and fight, trying to break free of their cells. It now dawned on the two young Shinobi why Tsunade had chosen Sasuke for this mission. Seeing the one who killed Orochimaru might put them at ease. The young Uchiha hoped she was right, as he stepped into the long hallway lined with cells on both sides. The roars and clashing grew louder as they saw Sasuke.

"You killed Orochimaru! Have you come to end us all as well?" One prisoner with pale skin asked.

"You can't kill us all Uchiha!" Shouted another with black hair.

"I think he's come to set us free…" Said a third in a quiet voice. He was a big man, and he looked incredibly powerful, yet he seemed so timid. Sasuke nodded at the big man.

"You are right Jugo. We've come to set you free." Sasuke threw Naruto the cell keys, and the blonde used the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to open all the cells at once. The former prisoners started to file out orderly, having been calmed by the admission to leave peaceably. Jugo, however, stayed still. Naruto called out to him.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Jugo was a special person, one who stayed here not because he had to, but because he was dangerous. He was the source of the Cursed Seal, the very same one that Orochimaru had branded Anko, Sasuke and the Sound Four with. Sasuke shook his head.

"He's the reason I have the Cursed Seal Naruto. His blood is what ultimately led Orochimaru to create the Seal. Jugo considers his very existence to be an anomaly."

The two Shinobi started to leave, following the prisoners they had freed, leaving Jugo behind. Their mission complete, they began to return home, to the women they loved.

Hinata stayed in bed each day that Naruto was gone. She was a month and three days pregnant with Naruto's child. She wasn't sure how to tell him this. They were both sixteen, and she never imagined being a mother at such a young age. She was just drifting to sleep, as a knock on her door came. She opened her eyes slowly, and Tenten came into the room and sat by her friend. She spoke in a soft voice.

"Hinata, come with Sakura and I, to the main gate. We're going to wait for our guys together. Neji, Sasuke and Naruto are coming back today. I know you want to tell him your big news."

Hinata sat up, and wiped her eyes. She had been silently crying again. She hated to watch him go on missions, especially since she had found out about Akatsuki pursuing him. She knew as long as they were both Shinobi; there was nothing she could do. She rose, and drew her clan leader robes over her body, taking care to not move her stomach more than she had to. The Hyuga and the weapons master met Sakura just outside the compound gates, and they started to walk quietly, not speaking, as a few heads turned to the main gate.

Naruto and Sasuke had taken a day and a half to get to the base and another half day to free the captives. As they started home, the pair was joined by Neji, who was returning from a solo mission. The three friends talked about their lives, their missions, their loved ones and their girls. Upon reaching the main gate, they saw their girlfriends waiting for them. Hinata waited for Naruto to come to her, which was the first thing he did. Sasuke went to Sakura, and Neji to Tenten. Each of the couples went their separate ways. Naruto and Hinata went to their spot by the lake, where Hinata had decided to tell Naruto. Sasuke and Sakura went to the Uchiha Manor, where they went directly to the bedroom. Sakura had long waited for this day, as Sasuke laid them on the bed, and drew his shirt up over his head, and started to kiss her neck. Sakura discarded her entire outfit, ready for him. Sasuke disrobed, and thrust himself inside her, and Sakura let out a sharp gasp of pain, and Sasuke slowed his pace, easing himself along her vaginal walls, feeling her spread for him, granting him entry. He began to thrust deep inside her, as each time he did, Sakura let a cry of sheer ecstasy escape her lips. This continued for about three minutes, until Sakura forced him on his back, and she took control of the slow passionate sex. Sakura worked her hips, grinding them against the Uchiha's, until they both climaxed and released all their tension in an earsplitting orgasm.
Hinata and Naruto had walked to the lake, and they had entered the water unclothed, and the blonde and the Hyuga stayed there for hours, until Hinata got out, and sat at the water's edge. Hinata had chosen this place to tell him since it held fond memories for the young couple. She stood up, and got dressed, all except for her shirt and jacket, leaving the bra to hang. She was happy that she was having a child, but how would he react? She was about to find out.

"Naruto. Do you remember what happened the night I came to you in Suna? Do you remember what we did?"

Naruto thought back to that night, a month and four days ago. He remembered that Hinata had arrived as soon as he had showered and dressed, and then she tackled him to the floor and then… they had made love again. He nodded and smiled.

"I remember. It was a passionate night."

Hinata smiled as well, happy that he remembered that much.

"It was a good night. But in that night, my body started to change. Something started to grow inside me that night."

Naruto was known for being a little slower than most, so he didn't understand.

"What did? What started to grow?"

Hinata averted her eyes, and placed her hand over their growing baby, and whispered.

"Your child Naruto. I'm pregnant."

Naruto was taken aback by these words, and he had to ask to be sure.

"What?"

Hinata sighed, knowing that he was frightened.

"I'm one month pregnant with a baby."

Naruto put his arms around her, and hugged her gently. He kissed her cheek, and then her lips in a reassuring gesture.

"I knew what I was doing that instant. As long as this is ok with you, I'm willing to give up everything to be with you."

This made Hinata tear up out of happiness that he was willing to stay with her even though they were only sixteen, and already expecting a child. She gave him a soft kiss, and he wiped her eyes clear, and he brought his hand up to her cheek. He nuzzled against her neck, and she put her arms around him, and they held each other. Their new arrival would be born in about eight months time.
