Chapter 6

1 ½ years later: Somewhere in Lightning Country

It had been one and half years since Naruto and Jiraiya had left Konoha. Jiraiya had not wasted anytime in getting started with Naruto's training. He had Naruto relearn all the basics, since his fundamentals were amateur at best. That didn't mean he didn't do his other research…far from it actually. He took a page from his protégé's book and used his shadow clones to do his peep-spy-OBSERVING. The best part was that every time Jiraiya would get caught, the clone would just disperse before anyone recognized him. It didn't have the same thrill as being there in person, but it was painless and he was still able to focus on Naruto's development so it was the best of both worlds.

"Okay, that's enough for today, Naruto," Jiraiya said as he stepped out of his defensive stance

Jiraiya had put Naruto through his paces today and it showed. The unstoppable machine known as Naruto was on all fours and panting heavily. Jiraiya used Naruto's unlimited stamina against him by making Naruto waste all his chakra (which was a lot) on making clones that would do various chakra exercises or studying things he missed in the academy.

With the original body, Jiraiya would make Naruto work out on a routine that Gai would think was too much. Of course Naruto, being Naruto, accepted the challenge head on. It wouldn't have been too bad, if his clone memories didn't distract him every time they dispersed. Every time Naruto would get distracted, he would have to restart his current exercise test from the beginning. Jiraiya would wait until Naruto was almost done before he would signal a clone to disperse. Which would cause Naruto to falter and he would have to try again. He said he did this so Naruto would become more accustomed to unexpected attacks, but Naruto thought the old Pervert was getting back at him for all the times he ruined his research opportunities.

Soon Naruto was able to regain his breath and he pulled himself to the makeshift campsite where he and Jiraiya resided.

"We're having beef stew tonight," Jiraiya said as he stirred the ladle that was in a large bowl.

Naruto grunted in acknowledgement as he collapsed onto the log near the campfire.

"I know you always ate ramen, but I've told you before, you need to eat other things to balance out your diet," Jiraiya said seriously.

"I'll keep that in mind, mom," Naruto said sarcastically.

Jiraiya just lightly bopped him on the head before handing him a bowl of stew. The two ate in companionable silence while staring at the stars above.

"So…we've been gone for a while now…" Naruto stated as he stared at the moon. It reminded him of the beautiful lavender orbs of the girl who had snuck into his heart.

"Don't worry brat, your princess is still waiting for you. She's head over heels for you so you've got nothing to worry about," Jiraiya said before he gave a boisterous laugh.

Jiraiya noticed that Naruto wasn't laughing with him or looked relieved. He had a rare look on his face. His façade showed he was contemplating something.

"Oi brat, what's going through that rock of a skull of yours?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto just turned to his sensei and sighed before he looked down. "Jiraiya, what does it mean to be in love?" Naruto asked just above a whisper.

Jiraiya's playful side faded away when he say that his pupil was dead serious. Jiraiya sighed before he looked up at the starry night.

"Ain't that the million dollar question…?" Jiraiya said sarcastically, "To be honest with you, Naruto, it's the greatest and the worst feeling in the world. When you're in love and it's reciprocated, you feel like you're on top of the world and nothing can stop you. When it's unrequited, it's the most painful feeling that one can feel. It's also so confusing because love isn't logical. It just...happens," Jiraiya finished.

"Heh, I know the feeling. To be honest with you, Pervy Sage, I didn't think I could fall for someone who was my complete opposite. When I think about her, everything feels at ease and I can just relax. It's insane though, she's always on my mind and it makes me nervous…" Naruto muttered at the end.

"Love is scary because it makes you feel things that you've never thought you could feel. It's odd like that. You've got a good thing with Hinata. The way she acts around you is an obvious sign that she has some strong feelings for you and now you know your own. A couple years isn't going to change her opinion about. It might just strengthen your bond since you now realize how much you need her in your life," Jiraiya said as he looked at Naruto.

"Yeah, but you never answered my question, Pervy Sage, you just described how it feels…" Naruto said lightly.

Jiraiya laughed lightly. "To be in love…it's the ultimate commitment. It's a sign of trust and maturity that shouldn't be taken lightly. It means your heart is willing to share everything about you in hopes that person will do the same for you," Jiraiya said sagely.

Naruto hummed in agreement before he turned back to the night sky. "I feel like that, but I'm still scared…There are many things that could happen if Hinata-chan became involved with me…" Naruto said seriously.

"So?" Jiraiya said in a deadpan fashion. "You've never let anything stop you before…you know what is going to happen if she gets involved and without a doubt she is going to get involved so your only option is to get stronger to protect her and everyone else. You've never backed away from a challenge, and I seriously doubt you will now," Jiraiya finished.

Naruto chuckled lightly. "You know me too well sensei…It's kinda late, I think we've had enough heart to heart conversations for tonight," Naruto said as he got up and stretched.

"Yeah, I started to feel like a pussy with all this emotional crap," Jiraiya joked which got a laugh out of his pupil. "In all seriousness though, you can talk to me when you need too, brat. You don't have to bottle it up. It's actually unhealthy if you do."

"I'll keep that in mind, sensei," Naruto said as he went into his tent.

Jiraiya waited a couple seconds before he signaled his clone to come out of hiding. "Did you get all that?"

"Of course, I'm the gallant Toad Sage, Jiraiya! This task was easy considering my skills!" the clone puffed out his chest which caused the real Jiraiya to roll his eyes.

"I didn't know I was this cocky…" Jiraiya muttered to himself as the clone handed him the notebook with the transcript of his and Naruto's conversation.

"This will make an excellent chapter in my new book. Women will be swooning over the hardened but profound sensei as he guides his wayward student about the ways of the heart…I can't wait till we get back to Konoha to finish our research with these two," The original rambled.

"Who would have thought that the Hyuga heiress and the village pariah would make such a research worthy couple?" The clone said nonchalantly before he gained a perverse look. "You know…Hyuga women tend to fill out earlier than regular Kunoichi…"

Both Jiraiya's started to chuckle perversely. "Lucky brat…" they said at the same time.

"Lucky us, we'll be even richer because of those two! Icha Icha: Denial will be our best work ever!" The clone exclaimed before he and Jiraiya felt a massive wave of killing intent.

They turned ashen pale as they saw their Jinchuriki pupil stalking over to them with the Kyubi cloak already around him.

"Err…I think I hear my mother calling!" The clone said as he dispersed.

"Traitor…" Jiraiya muttered before he experienced the second worst beating of his life.

Back in Konoha

"A-Achoo!" Hinata sniffed lightly, rubbing her nose. 'Was someone talking about me?'

"Hinata! Where is my sake!"

Hinata jumped in surprise, rushing to get Tsunade's "I won't work late to finish paperwork without sake," sake. "Coming Shishou!"

A Few Weeks Later

Naruto had forgiven Jiraiya after he torched the pervert's notes. The two were currently walking into a non-descript village. The two were walking at a leisurely pace while paying attention to their surroundings. Unfortunately, they didn't notice the group of men observing them from the rooftops. They were all wearing black cloaks with red clouds on it.

"So where are we going, Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked as he rested his hands in his pockets.

"We're going to gather some information," Jiraiya said with a perverted smile.

"I really don't like that look, Pervy Sage…" Naruto said nervously.

Naruto's intuition proved to be right because Jiraiya lead them to a brothel house. Naruto placed his head in his palms while Jiraiya giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Why the hell are we here, Ero-Sennin?" Naruto muttered through his hands.

"Here's a little secret, Naruto. Brothel houses are the best place to gather information. No one expects a prostitute or a stripper to be listening in on your conversation. They also know how to coerce information out of men without making it seem obvious. Most of my informants work in brothel houses as courtesans or bartenders," Jiraiya said seriously.

"I never really thought about it that way…" Naruto responded.

"Of course you wouldn't. Konoha forbids their Kunoichi from having to do missions like this. Compared to other Shinobi Villages, Konoha has the greatest respect for their Kunoichi. Sure some can request a seduction mission if they want, but Konoha will never force them to do one," Jiraiya said.

"But why would someone volunteer for such a mission?" Naruto asked confused.

"There could be any number of reasons Naruto…They could get a thrill about seducing men or maybe they just wanted to experience it. The reasons differ for every person. Hell some men even sign up for it. The point is that Konoha doesn't force seduction missions like how some other villages do so I'm not surprised that you didn't know the true purposes to the brothel houses. Didn't Kakashi teach you to look underneath the underneath?" Jiraiya said playfully at the end.

Naruto just looked away in embarrassment for not thinking about it earlier. Jiraiya earned back another notch of respect from Naruto for their brief conversation. Of course Jiraiya had to ruin the moment with another perverted comment.

"Of course I wouldn't mind looking underneath the underneath of these women's clothing…" Jiraiya giggled perversely as one of the women waved to him in a sensual manner.

"Don't wait up for me, brat! I've got to gather information…like that chick's bra size…" Jiraiya muttered the last part to himself as he ran into the brothel house like a kid going into a candy store.

"Stupid Ero-Sennin…" Naruto muttered as he walked off in the opposite direction.

He didn't know how long he was walking or where he was going, but Naruto found himself on the outskirts of the nameless village. He just stood there as he watched the sun lower itself past the horizon. He felt calm for a little while as he watched the orange sky.

Naruto suddenly tensed as he felt multiple chakra signatures coming towards him. He narrowly dodged a blow that was aimed at his head and hit his assailant with a powerful spin kick which knocked his assailant into one of his partners. Naruto turned around and felt his blood run cold. There were 5 men standing in front of him and all were clad in black cloaks with red clouds on it.

"Akatsuki…" Naruto muttered to himself as he thought through different plans to try to escape. Even with his training, he didn't think he could fight against 5 Akatsuki members at once.

"Uzumaki Naruto, jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko. You will be coming with us…" The main Akatsuki member said.

"Like hell I will!" Naruto shouted back and got into the defensive stance Jiraiya had taught him.

"It wasn't a request," The man said as he charged Naruto head on as his teammates flanked him in a 5-pointed star formation.

Naruto summoned a shadow clone who threw the original in the air as the five men converged on the clone. The clone dispersed, but it did its purpose by getting the real Naruto out of the way.

The original summoned another clone that launched him away from the Akatsuki members and towards the village. He also summoned at least 20 clones and had them run in different directions so he could confuse or separate the Akatsuki members.

It would have worked if the Akatsuki members hadn't decided to stay together and hadn't placed a marker on the original Naruto when he wasn't looking.

Naruto was forced to turn around as he noticed that his clone misdirection wasn't working, and if he went any further, civilians would soon be caught in the crossfire. Naruto decided that he would have to use a whole bunch of high powered jutsus to alert his perverted sensei of his whereabouts.

"Last chance to come peacefully, Uzumaki," The leader said to Naruto.

Naruto didn't respond, instead he created five clones which made their own Rasengans in each hand. It was at this point that Naruto realized that his Jutsu library was very limited.

Other Side of the Village

Jiraiya was enjoying his time with his lovely ladies and a bottle of sake. He had actually gathered his Intel about half an hour ago, but he decided that his apprentice could use a break and he could use some relaxation.

"Tell us another riveting tale Jiraiya-dono," the brunette bombshell that was attached to his right arm said.

"Of course I will, beautiful! You see this one time I was stranded on a deserted island for months. I managed to escape by tying a couple of sea turtle-" Jiraiya's plagiarized tale was interrupted by a loud explosion.

Jiraiya's eyes widened as he immediately went into serious mode. He jumped out of the establishment and ran towards the source of the explosion. He knew, without a doubt, that Naruto was somehow involved in this mess. He doubled his pace so he could get to the epicenter of the chaos.

It was madness on the streets. People were running around and dust from collapsed building clouded their vision, causing more panic. Finally Jiraiya was able to get to his destination and what he saw filled him with untold fury.

Jiraiya saw an Akatsuki member holding a wounded Naruto by the throat will while Naruto's arm hung limply to his side. Jiraiya quickly made a Rasengan and sent the Akatsuki member flying. Once he was sure that the member was down for good, Jiraiya went to his fallen pupil.

"Naruto, are you alright?" Jiraiya asked with concern laced through his voice.

Naruto coughed a bit before he accepted Jiraiya's helping hand. "Yes, I'm okay, Jiraiya-sensei…" Naruto said as he coughed some more.

Jiraiya's eyes narrowed and he gave a devastating punch to Naruto's stomach. Naruto's eyes widened before his henge fell off to reveal a man with black hair and an Akatsuki cloak.

The man coughed more before he turned his pained look to Jiraiya's cold gaze. "How'd you know I wasn't the kid?" the man had to ask.

"Naruto never calls me 'Jiraiya-sensei,' he always calls me 'Ero-Sennin,' or 'Pervy Sage,' but never 'Jiraiya-sensei.' Now where is he?" Jiraiya said menacingly.

The man just chuckled before staring defiantly at Jiraiya. "He's long gone from here. Maybe you'll find his corpse after we extract the Kyuubi from him!" The man started to laugh hysterically before foam started to fill his mouth.

Jiraiya let out a curse as he threw the body away. He was really angry with himself for letting his godson get captured. He could only pray that he could find him in time.

Unknown Location

Darkness was all Naruto saw and was aware of. He couldn't remember anything and he felt all his limbs being restrained. It was odd, but he felt extremely tired as well. He felt physically exhausted and he couldn't feel his chakra.

"WAKE UP!" a voiced yelled and then Naruto felt a fist collide into his face.

Naruto opened his eyes, but closed them quickly when he noticed that he was in a sterile, white room with a floodlight shining directly into his eyes. His bleary vision was able to make out two figures standing in front of him.

"Must you be so forceful, you brute," a second voice said. It had that uneasy, silky tone that Orochimaru used in the Forest of Death, Naruto recalled.

"I lost three men bringing this brat back so excuse me if I'm a little pissed!" The taller man said to the smaller one. The small one waved off the man's hostility.

"Well at least you woke him," the smaller man said as both of them turned to the awoken Naruto.

"Who the hell are you and where the hell am I?" Naruto said as strongly as he could, which wasn't very.

The bigger man punched Naruto in his stomach, causing all the air to expel out of Naruto as he lurched forward.

"Now, now, if you beat him to a pulp now, then you won't have anything to do later," the smaller man said seriously.

The bigger man grunted before he walked out of the room.

"Now that the barbarian has left, we can finally chat, Naruto-kun," the smaller man said in a deceptively smooth voice.

"Who are you and what do you want with me," Naruto rasped out.

"My name is Hiruko, and what I want? I want what makes you special," Hiruko said with a sinister smile.

"You want the Kyuubi? So you do work for the Akatsuki!" Naruto said.

To his surprise, Hiruko just chuckled. "No I do not work for the Akatsuki. That was just a ploy to throw off any search that comes for you. They will suspect the Akatsuki holding you while in actuality you are here," Hiruko said as he gestured to the neon white room.

"So, where is here and who do you work for?" Naruto asked confused.

"You'll know eventually, Naruto-kun. After all, my employer is interested in your heritage," Hiruko said smoothly.

Naruto just snorted. "Good luck with that, buddy. I'm an orphan. I don't have a heritage," Naruto said smugly since he denied the man what he wanted. To his surprise again, Hiruko just chuckled.

"Everyone comes from somewhere, Naruto-kun and I know who your parents are. It was actually the reason why I was allowed to send my employer's men after you," Hiruko said.

This peaked Naruto's interest. Even though he was tied down and had no access to his chakra, he still wanted to know who his parents were, especially since it was the reason he was in this current predicament.

"Who are they?" Naruto asked.

"Eager are we? Well I don't know if I should tell you?" Hiruko teased

"Tell me, dammit!" Naruto yelled hoarsely.

This actually amused Hiruko even more, "You are in no position to be making demands, but I do want to see how you will react to this revelation," Hiruko said as he circled around Naruto.

"Your mother was a Konoha Kunoichi that was originally born in Uzushiogakure. Her name was Kushina Uzumaki."

"Wait, why do I have my mother's last name?" Naruto asked confusedly.

Hiruko smiled that serpentine smirk that looked so much like Orochimaru. "Well, it will be obvious to you when you hear who your father is. You, Naruto Uzumaki, are the son of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Your father is the Yellow Flash and he's the one who sealed the fox within you."

Naruto's eyes widened as he processed everything Hiruko just said. "No…NO! YOU'RE LYING, YOU HAVE TO BE!" Naruto screamed in frustration.

Hiruko seemed to be amused by Naruto's outburst. "What do I gain from lying to you? Nothing, that's what, I have to admit your reaction is quite entertaining. What's the matter? Can't handle the fact that your father condemned you to save your precious village? Did it bring back old wounds of watching other kids with their parents?" Hiruko taunted.

"Shut up…SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled, red in the face with anger.

"Well, it looks like I have other things to do, but before I go, here is a little parting gift…enjoy!" Hiruko said as he pulled out a photo of a red hair woman with her arms wrapped around the Yondaime Hokage.

Naruto stared at the picture for who knows how long. So many emotions whirled around him as he gazed at the smiling faces of his parents. He felt angry, sad, betrayed, but he also felt relieved somewhat happy. He finally knew that his parents were great shinobi, but he felt so betrayed by his father.

Naruto slipped into his mindscape so he could avoid seeing their smiling faces. It was too much for him to see them so happy. He looked at the cage that held back the greatest Bijuu on the planet. What he saw shocked him.

Naruto stared at the fox behind the bars. There were shackles all over him and what looked like pikes sticking threw its palms. Naruto walked closer to the fox and he could hear slight whimpers of pain.

"What the hell is going on?" Naruto said as he stared into the pain filled eyes of the fox.

"Seals…" it whimpered out. "They have placed many seals over the main one…" Kyuubi gasped out.

"Can't you just overcharge them, Kyubi?" Naruto asked desperately.

"…No…Power…being siphoned off…so tired…must rest…Don't…Don't die on me…Ningen…I am…only resting…need…need…to recover…" Kyuubi panted out as he closed its massive eyes.

"Oi fox…this isn't funny…wake up! WAKE UP, DAMMIT!" Naruto said desperately.

Even if he hated the fox, it was Naruto's only companion and his only constant Naruto really had. Without the fox, Naruto felt something he never really felt before. He felt truly alone. He was alone when he was younger, but now he didn't have the fox's chakra to give him some sense of stability.

Naruto was knocked out of his mindscape when a fist collided with his jaw. "Welcome back, sleeping beauty. Now it's time for us to have some fun," The man from before had returned.

Naruto didn't reply. He just spat out the blood from his mouth onto his assailant, this lead to a new flurry of strikes.

From behind a glass panel, Hiruko and one of his assistants watched on. "Are you sure this is a good idea, Hiruko-sama?" The assistant asked.

"Yes, I do. Every time that brute inflicts a wound onto Naruto-kun, the fox subconsciously sends it's chakra to the damaged area. We'll be able to fill the siphoning seals in nearly half the time with this method. Besides, that barbarian of a Raikage said he wanted Naruto-kun to be broken in every sense so he could be 'remolded,'" Hiruko rolled his eyes at the last part.

"You don't believe he can be remolded, Hiruko-sama?" the assistant asked.

"I don't think he can be broken. He's been through worse in his own village, I doubt these cretins will be able to break him. It doesn't matter to me though. I'm only concerned about the Kyuubi's chakra and his DNA," Hiruko finished.

"Hmm, he's going to 15 in a couple of months," the assistant said absent-mindedly.

Hiruko smirked. "Well why don't we get him a special birthday present than…?"

4 Months Later

Naruto didn't know how long he was bound to the sterile white room, but it felt like he was there for years. He couldn't sleep because the lights would be constantly on him and he would always be in pain from his most recent "interrogation." It was the same routine for only Kami knows how long. He would be woken up whenever he tried to sleep, then he would be used as a human punching bag for about an hour or two. The medics would come and treat him to the bare minimum and give him some slop to eat. After that the real torture began.

He would be isolated for what seemed like day. There was nothing to do but to think. He thought about his current situation, he thought about his life back in Konoha, he thought about his friends, he even thought about his parents. His thoughts would take odd twists and turns, sometimes they would be happy about everything and he was able to maintain some hope that he might be able to go home. Soon those thoughts became very dark.

He would question what was there left in Konoha. He would think about how the villagers ignored his father's wishes. He remembered a long time ago that the Sandaime had told him that Yondaime wanted him to be a hero to the village.

At first, he despised his father for what he did to him. But when you're trapped in a room with only your thoughts, you tend to think things over. He thought objectively what his father did to him. What would he have done if he was put in the same situation. Eventually, Naruto accepted what his father did to him and he started to respect him for trusting him to carry this burden. Naruto concluded that his father didn't expect Konoha to react so negatively to his Jinchuriki status. He really found it hard to blame the man when he had to make an impossible decision.

Naruto then remembered that his father had essentially damned his own soul to the depths of the Shinigami's stomach to protect the village. He remembered that the Sandaime had used the same seal and he asked Jiraiya about the mechanics of it. Once he found out about the ultimate sacrifice, he wept for the tortured souls of the Hokages. Now he wept for his father's soul that was trapped forever in a fight with part of the nine-tailed demon fox.

His father gave up everything so he could live, to save the village and Naruto started to feel ashamed that he held the man with such animosity not too long ago. He had forgiven his father for what he did to him.

Naruto turned his gaze from the man who looked just like him to the woman who was his mother. Naruto had to admit, she was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her vibrant red hair was swaying in the wind and her bright violet eyes shined with happiness and love. She smiled at his father who smiled back with equal amount of love. He didn't know much about either of them except their names, but he could see that they really loved each other. After all; a picture is worth a thousand words.

Naruto wished that he could share the love he had with someone like his parents did. His dark thoughts kept echoing that no one would love a monster like him and he probably won't even survive the place he was currently in. Oddly enough, he was able to quell his traitorous thoughts when he pictured Hinata. If he was honest with himself, Naruto would probably say that it was Hinata's image that kept him same throughout this whole ordeal. The thought of her waiting for him in Konoha kept silencing his constantly dreary thoughts, but then what if she moved on? He had been gone for, he estimated, about 2 years.

For some reason though, he felt like Hinata wouldn't have moved on. It was a weird feeling but it stopped the downward spiral of his thoughts.

After a few more months of the same routine, Naruto was able to figure out his role. He was some key to a lab experiment. Hiruko would check on him and usually try to get a rise out of the blond. From the fragments of information he got from Hiruko, Naruto was able to piece together some clues about what was going on. Hiruko needed him because his mother's clan had a ridiculously long life span and because his employer wants to have access to his father's Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) which required his father's blood to activate the seals.

One day, Hiruko's goons dragged Naruto out of the white room and into a laboratory. It looked like something out of a science fiction movie. There were machines all over and human sized test tubes against the wall. In the center of the room was a surgery table with a single fluorescent light above it. The goons dragged Naruto to the tables and strapped him to it. They also tore off his ragged shirt so his torso was exposed.

This was the first time Naruto was able to see his seal. He could see at least 5 other seals surrounding the main seal and they were pulsating red. That couldn't be good.

Hiruko came up to the restrained Naruto. He was dressed in a surgeon's outfit and had a white mask covering his face. "Ah, you are about to be part of something momentous!" Hiruko cackled in glee.

"Oh and what would that be, Hiruko-teme?" Naruto sneered.

"I see you're still using that unbecoming nickname, Naruto-kun. Well it doesn't matter, you are about to be a part of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in human history. We're going to be giving birth to your children!" Hiruko said.

Naruto just looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Confused? Well you should be. Without any context that sentence shouldn't have made any sense," Hiruko responded casually.

"What we are doing is we're trying to clone a child so that they will possess the fabled Byakugan. We have the Hyuuga Heiress's DNA, but we weren't able to do anything productive with it. Now that we have you, we'll be able to manipulate the DNA with the Kyuubi chakra and your Uzumaki traits to negate the damaging properties of the Kyuubi," Hiruko finished.

"How the hell did you get Hinata-chan's DNA? I swear to Kami that if you had hurt her, I'll rip your fucking throat out!" Naruto roared.

"Who is this Hinata-chan that you speak of? Could she be the Hyuga heiress? We acquired this blood over 12 years ago. Hmmm, I wonder how intimate your relationship with this Hinata-chan is…" Hiruko said smoothly.

Despite his current predicament, Naruto blushed at Hiruko's choice of words and looked away, much to the amusement of Hiruko.

"Well I guess you should feel lucky then, you're going to be the father of this Hinata-chan's children…well if everything goes according to plan…oh by the way this is going to be excruciatingly painful," Hiruko said as he made 5 incisions where the seals were.

Some of the other scientists and medics came over and attached a lagged machine to Naruto's torso. The machine had these weird tubes attached to it and the medics inserted the tubes into the incisions that Hiruko made.

Naruto felt some discomfort, but he didn't feel a lot of pain. That is until he they turned on the machine. Blinding pain seared through out his body as he felt the machine suck the chakra out of his body. It felt like he was being torn into two pieces. As much as Naruto resisted, he couldn't hold in his screams of pain for any longer.

Hiruko smirked as he heard Naruto's cries of anguish. He looked over to his control panel to see that the percentage bar was only at 10%. "Well, it seems like we've got a long way to go," Hiruko said to himself.

It felt like hours of torture for Naruto. He was in so much pain, but he couldn't scream anymore since his throat was hoarse. There was sheen of sweat covering his forehead and he was panting heavily.

"Okay, we've reached maximum capacity, starting phase two," Hiruko announced as he flipped a switch. The red chakra went from the red machine to the three test tubes that were adjacent to it. The scientist operating the machine started flipping some switches as the chakra was sent into the tube.

Naruto, Hiruko, and the scientists watched in morbid fascination as they watched the globs of flesh start growing with the red chakra surrounding them like a blanket. The globs continued to grow until they started to resemble a human form.

"It's working!" Hiruko exclaimed as he continued to observe the monitors. Finally the process was coming to an end. Naruto could barely make out the features of the children in the tube since his vision was blurred from unshed tears and the pain.

Soon the sounds of water being drained echoed the through the room. It was soon replaced by the sounds of three infantile cries.

Hiruko walked over to the extremely tired Naruto and smirked. "Congratulations Naruto-kun, you're the father of triplets," Naruto was able to hear before he finally blacked out.

Chapter End

A/N There you go! The kids are finally born! Surprised that there's more than one?

Until next time!
