A/N: Some things I forgot to make clear in the last chapter. Naruto in this fic is 16 years of age. Fu is 17. Hinata and Yugito are 16 going on 17. Now, since I got so many nice reviews for the first chapter I decided to update sooner than I had planned! Hope you enjoy it and please review! The more reviews I get, the faster I'll be updating this =D.

Heaving a sigh, Shizune sat down in a nearby chair and rubbed her temples. "Let me get this straight." She said, pointing to Fu. "After the mission Lady Tsunade sent Naruto-kun, you decided to 'thank' him by taking him into your bed and having intercourse with him."

Fu blushed slightly. "You make it sound so dirty Shizune-san, but yes. I thanked Naruto for saving our village by making love with him. I never have and never will regret it." She said, hugging a now sleeping Sayuri close to herself.

Rubbing her temples a bit more, Shizune moved her gaze to Yugito. "You knew about this and allowed it to continue despite knowing the trouble it would cause later on."

The Nibi Jinchuriki gave a nonplussed shrug. "Yeah, I did. Fu-chan is a Jinchuriki just like Naru-kun and myself." Her gaze hardened a bit. "A little something you may not know about Jinchuriki: we need to find a purpose in life otherwise we end up like Gaara-kun used to be." She explained. "The last thing we need or want is another psychopathic Jinchuriki running around screaming for blood."

This time it was Fu's turn to sigh. "I wasn't that bad, Yugito-chan." She countered, having heard all about Gaara's rampage from Naruto.

Focusing her attention on Naruto, she had one final question. "How in the world have you managed to keep this secret from everyone for this long?"

Naruto chuckled. "Shizune-neechan, who do you think you're talking to?" He asked, shaking his head, trying to keep his laughter quiet so as not to awaken his daughter. "Back before I first made Genin, I was the king of pranks! Nobody ever caught me except Iruka-sensei. I used to lead ANBU on chases throughout the village for hours and STILL manage to escape." Sighing, he winced a bit in pain before continuing. "I didn't hide it from anyone anyways. Baa-chan knew about it and much to both mine and Fu's displeasure, so does Ero-Sennin."

It was then that something clicked in Hinata's brain. "So is that why you always vanished two or three times a month without a trace?"

In response, Naruto just gave his teammate his fox-like grin. He knew that would be enough of a response for her.

"I knew it!" Yugito said excitedly. "I knew you were sneaking off to see someone. You smelled like beetles and peaches every time you came came back. You denied it but I knew it!"

Shizune couldn't believe it. Naruto, the boy she thought of as a younger brother was a father! Not only that, he had managed to hide it from her for so long. The worst part of it was that Tsunade herself was in on the secret! "Naruto, don't you think you and Fu are a bit young to have a child? Why did you do it?"

At Shizune's question, Fu hugged her daughter even closer, fear that Shizune wished to take her away creeping in.

Naruto gave a snort in response. "Shizune-neechan, me and Fu are both ninja. It's like Anko says: Old enough to kill old enough to... well do other stuff." He had to amend the last part for the little ears in the room, asleep or not, there was always a chance Sayuri would hear him and wake up. "Besides, I wasn't with Hinata or Yugito then, and the nobody in the village except them would have been willing to love me that way."

The young Jounin lowered her head slightly at Naruto's comment. She knew he was correct about that fact. Despite all he had done for the village over the years, the majority of Konoha still held a strong hatred for him. "I'm sorry Naruto, Fu. I didn't mean it like that. I just thought you two would have been more careful."

"If we had been more careful, Shizune-san, Sayuri would never have been born and I'd be all alone in Taki either being sent out on seduction mission after seduction mission or I'd be dead." Fu said just loud enough for the elder girl to hear so as not to awaken her daughter. "I'm glad it happened. I can't even picture life without my baby girl any more."

Yugito sighed. "Ya know, it's times like this I wonder if any of the other Jinchuriki have lived as hard of lives as we have..."

In the land of Yuki no Kuni in the royal palace, Princess Koyuki stood in the room of the two young girls she had come to think of as sisters. Smiling slightly at the sight of them, she recalled that fateful day when she had found them...

~Flashback no Jutsu!~

Koyuki walked down the streets of Yukigakure, observing the repairs being done and making mental notes of things that would need to change in order to improve the village and bring it back to its former glory before her uncle took over. She was roused from her thoughts when she heard one of her guards shout and saw a white tiger with black stripes zoom by, carrying one of the bags of food she'd brought with her in it's mouth. "Ah! After that tiger!" She called, immediately racing off in the direction the tiger went. Around forty-five minutes later, the princess found herself without her guards in an abandoned building where she had followed the snow tiger.

Said tiger was currently backed against a corner of the room she was in, seemingly guarding something behind it as it growled and pawed at the air in front of it, warning Koyuki to stay away. In the silence of the room, the princess was able to hear a sound, like a soft whimper she knew did not belong to either her or the tiger. No sooner had she heard this sound than did the tiger before her change into a young girl about ten with snow white hair and midnight blue eyes. When the girl had changed back, no clothes had appeared with her so she stood there naked with a bag of food hanging from her mouth.

The young girl quickly removed the food bag and set it on the floor before reaching behind her and pulling forward a smaller girl probably no older than four or five onto her lap and began talking into the child's ear in a soft tone. "It's ok, Kisa-chan. Onee-chan is here. I'm here honey. I won't leave again for a while, I promise." The elder of the two young girls said. Once again reaching into the darkened corner, a tattered blanket was brought forth this time and wrapped around the child who shivered violently against her elder sister's body. She was dressed in a shirt about two sizes too small filled with holes and a summer skirt which did little against the weather in the village.

"Hime-sama!" One of Koyuki's guards called as he entered the house.

Holding up a hand, Koyuki ordered the guard to remain back as she took a couple of steps forward.

This action however, caused the elder of the two younger girls to retreat back further into the corner, holding her younger sister close. "Please! Take the food back if you want it, just leave Kisa and I alone!" She cried as Kisa clung tighter to her.

Taking another tentative step forward, Koyuki spoke in a soft comforting voice. "It's alright child, I mean you no harm. Is this where you live?"

The girl shook her head. "Stay back!" She screamed. She had learned the way of the streets well these last few years. Rule number one: Trust nobody except family. Kisa looked up at her sister for a few moments before a violent shiver overtook her again and her eyes closed as darkness overtook her.

"KISA-CHAN!" The elder girl screamed, trying to get her sister to respond. After about a minute of this and with Koyuki now approaching faster, she made a decision. 'Forgive me, Kaa-san, but I do this now to protect Kisa-chan.' Biting her finger, she drew blood and made a few quick hand seals. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

A large snow tiger appeared between the girl and Koyuki. "Why have you summoned me, Amaya? You know Kaa-san will be unhappy with you. You are still not of age to take the test to freely summon us." It spoke.

"Forgive me, Yuki-chan. Kisa-chan is in danger though! She running a bad fever and she just passed out! I can't go anywhere though because this woman and her guards are blocking the way. I am certain Shirayuki-sama will understand." Amaya spoke.

Nodding and growling slightly, Yuki stared at the woman before her who had stopped moving forward and was now slowly backing up. It took a few moments, but recognition crossed the tiger's face. "Koyuki-hime?"

The princess blinked a few times before responding. "Do I know you?"

"No Hime, however, my clan is familiar with you. The family Toukan loyally served your father until the time of his death when your uncle stole the throne. Kisa and Amaya's parents fought valiantly with the Snow Tiger clan alongside them but in the end they lost leaving these young ones the only surviving members." Yuki explained. "Amaya, trust Koyuki-hime. She will cause you no harm." Once more, her attention turned to Koyuki. "I have a request of you, Hime-sama."

"I will be happy to hear a request of the noble Snow Tiger Clan of Yukigakure." Koyuki responded.

"Take these children with you and give them a home. They have nothing left for them and they need a good home before they die on the streets. Do this for our clan and we shall swear loyalty to you and your family." Yuki explained.

"Hime-sama..." Amaya whimpered slightly. "Yuki..."

Said tiger once more turned to Amaya. "Trust me cub, this woman will be good for you and Kisa."

Amaya sighed deeply and nodded. "I trust you, Yuki-chan."

Nodding once more, Koyuki spoke. "You have my word as Damiyo of Yuki no Kuni that I will protect Kisa and Amaya with all that I have."

Turning back to Koyuki one last time Yuki said,"One more thing you should know. Kisa contains our boss's mate, The Gobi no Ookami." That said, Yuki vanished in a puff of smoke and darkness claimed Amaya too. It had been a long time since she had rested and her body simply gave out.

Sighing slightly, Koyuki turned back to her guard. "Find the others and bring them here now."

"Hai, Hime-sama."

~Flashback no Jutsu... Kai!~

Over time, the princess had gotten to know the two girls quite well. It turns out that Amaya was given her power to transform into a snow tiger by her summon clan as a means of staying alive and protecting Kisa who is turns out was mute and unable to speak.

For the longest time, it was only Amaya who was able to understand the motions and gestures Kisa made and translate what they meant. Eventually however, the teachers at the palace had managed to teach Kisa, Amaya, and Koyuki herself sign language so that they would all be able to communicate back and forth without trouble.

Smiling at the memories, she looked down at Amaya and Kisa once more and kissed each girl on her forehead before saying. "Goodnight, girls. Sleep well."

~Back with Naruto and Co.~

Yugito shook her head to clear it. Honestly, the idea that anyone else had lived worse lives than her Naruto and Fu just made her sad. "So Shizune-san, what brings you here?"

Suddenly snapping her head up, Shizune looked at Yugito. "Oh! Thank you for reminding me, Yugito-chan. I came here to check up on Naruto-kun and make sure his recovery is going well." She said, getting up from her seat and moving to Naruto. Preforming hand signs, her hands glowed a soft green and she ran them over Naruto's body, frowning slightly as she did.

Seeing this, Hinata voiced what all three girls were thinking. "Is something wrong with Naru-kun, Shizune-san?"

Said medic turned to Hinata smiling slightly. "Not really, it just seems that Naruto's chidori wound is healing a lot slower than it should be... given his... accelerated healing he gains from his tenant." She sighed. "If I had to guess, it's from the tainted chakra of Sasuke's curse mark, and because of that my normal chakra isn't affecting it."

Standing up, Yugito moved over to Shizune, her left hand glowing with Nibi's chakra. "Here Shizune-san. Use Nibi-chan's chakra and combine it with your healing chakra to fix Naru-kun's wound."

Shizune seemed to think to herself for a moment before nodding and taking Yugito's glowing hand. Preforming singled handed seals this time, her hand once more glowed a light green but there were a few specks of dark blue mixed in as well. Placing her hand down on Naruto's chest, he winced slightly but she sighed in relief as she saw the wound slowly begin to heal. Shizune knew now that it would work, all she needed was time.

Unfortunately, time was not on her side for no sooner had she begun healing Naruto then did the door to his room fly open to reveal Sasuke Uchiha garbed in hospital clothes in full level two curse seal mode with an active chidori in hand. "TIME TO DIE DOBE!" He screamed as he flew into the room aiming directly for said blonde.
