"So this was Konoha in the Godaime´s times" said Tsubaki, lifting her straw hat. She was dressed in her new Akatsuki cloak and tied her hair to look more like her mother. "The one I know is different, more… modern?"

"What were you expecting? It´s been years since this" answered Kisame, searching for the place where they entered last time. He found it and they penetrate the village. "Now, you have to be careful with a lot of people here, specially…"

"Gai and Kakashi-sama, yes, I know. I did my homework in the future" she walked inside. Father and daughter started walking, the older pretty much worried. If something happened to Tsubaki, Kazumi will kill him and let´s not talk about what Itachi would do… he would end up being shark fin soup! Both of them sat down in a dango store and ordered something. She ate with appetite.

"You know? You look a lot like Itachi when you are eating dango" he commented casually.

"Yes? He does that much?"

"Yeah, he has a sweet tooth" answered the shark. "When he was pregnant with you, the first months he suffered a lot of pain and couldn´t eat as much as he needed, but once they calmed down he started eating a portion of dango per day."

"Yes?"

While they were talking in other part of Konoha a teenage missing nin was walking from side to side in his cell. He couldn´t believe it! Konoha allied with one of his clan´s murderers to capture him… well, he was going to kill them all. He was so enraged that he didn´t noticed the black mass sneaking inside the dark room and opening his door. The Uchiha kicked the door next and opened it.

"It seems that you have gotten too relaxed with the security, Tsunade" he smiled and left the room. He started looking for Obito. He found the one eyed shinobi in the Hokage´s office. He went there to watch on him until he was alone, but he heard something he shouldn´t have: they conversation about the Uchiha massacre.

"Look I don´t know exactly who ordered it, but I know Itachi made a deal to keep Sasuke alive" said the older Uchiha. This made the boy´s eyes widened. Itachi… wanted to save him? He made a deal with whoever ordered the murders of his family to keep him alive? "He is suffering a lot… Do you have any suspects as to who did it?"

"I have a lot of suspects with reasons and power to order an ANBU to exterminate a clan about to do a coup, three main ones. I bet you know who they are?" the blond woman answered, joining her hands. The two others kept silence. She took their silence as an answer. "Exactly"

"Damn, this is going to be complicated" commented the former Akatsuki leader. "I am not going to be able to shut my eye while I´m here."

"You are staying in my home, we will both share the security" said Kakashi, serious. "What I really want to know is who gave you those archives, Lady Tsunade. Akatsuki must have had it under seven locks…"

"Yes, but only for those who aren´t members, Itachi could have taken it… but you are right, we have someone to watch that they are not copied or something like that and it´s not easy to escape his notice" he gritted his teeth. "Besides we always revise the packs of our members so they don´t take out anything important…" he felt into notice. "It must have been the twins."

"The twins?" she never got her answer, as a sensor shinobi entered the room and said that he noticed some strange chakra entering the village. They went into alert and Sasuke too. He knew this chakra well too much. It was his niece´s chakra along with Itachi´s partner… probably her babysitter. Obito transported Kakashi and himself to where the chakra was and the silver haired ninja suffered a déjà vu. There were Gai, Asuma and Kurenai, fighting with Kisame and…

"It can´t be… Itachi Uchiha!" he said and soon he found out he was mistaken. This person, in the same pose as the raven haired former ANBU when he has last visited the village, looked a lot like the Uchiha traitor, but was definitely a she (even with his feminine appearance Itachi managed to make you know he was a male) and her Sharingan was different. "You are not Itachi, who the hell are you?"

"Tsubaki" she answered.

"Who?"

"The younger twin" clarified Obito. "She and Kazumi are Itachi´s daughters"

"That explains the similarities…" said Kurenai. Then she opened her eyes. "Hey, why is she so old? She couldn´t be a teenager if she is Itachi´s kid!"

"Time travel jutsu… yes, I couldn´t believe it at first too…" he gave the girl a harsh look. "What are you doing here?"

"Hunting a traitor" she answered. Obito frowned, he knew she wasn´t there for him. The twins were loyal to Konoha, helping their mother in his espionage mission and manipulating events to achieve something he himself wasn´t exactly sure. But then again, they weren´t afraid of doing pretty awful things to achieve their objectives. "Don´t try to resist"

"Be careful with her eyes, she is a natural at Tsukuyomi" warned the older Uchiha and the fight started. Sasuke, who was watching them, noticed how powerful Tsubaki was, managing to put Kakashi and nearly catch Obito too in her genjutsu. And the other Uchiha… there was no way he could keep him trapped and beat the information out of him, he was sneaky as hell with his Kamui. He decided to take his leave and then return once he finished his training with Orochimaru… if the old snake ever recovered from his illness.

"He escaped" warned Tsubaki in Obito´s ear in the middle of the battle and the other understood. As soon as the Akatsuki retired he transported himself to the dungeon and found out the empty cell… and a nasty note in a very known awful handwriting. Kakashi used the same technique to reach him. "What happened? How did he escaped? Obito, are you… who is Zetsu?"

"My EX boyfriend" answered the Uchiha, then clarified. "Rin´s father"

"Oh… eh… well… you escaped from home, so…"

"He is not worried about his child nor me" he crunched the note. "Not a bit"

"Then why…?"

"He said he will kill me and then Rin"

-In another time-

"Ow…" Madara put a hand on his belly, feeling the place where the child has kicked him… wait, it was kicking! Finally! He rubbed his stomach with affection. "You know, you kick a lot harder than your sister, I bet Hashirama was right about you being a boy"

"Is there something wrong, mama?" asked Maki, entering the room with her usual wooden spoon. It was Tokka´s turn to take care of him and she was on the kitchen, making something the raven wasn´t sure was edible.

"Come here" he grabbed his daughter´s hand and put it on his belly. The little girl at first didn´t understand, but then felt the slight kick. "The baby is moving!" she cheered. "Hello, baby! This is your older sister! Grew up fast, I want to meet you!"

"I bet he wants to…" he stopped when he noticed someone on his door. His eyes narrowed. "Go up to your room, I need to do something"

"But…"

"Now" he ordered. The kid pouted but did as she was told. Once she was out of view the adult hid his bulging stomach and opened the door. There was a representative of the council of elders, looking serious. He let the man in and sat down with him. The clan head thought he was there to yell at him for revealing something to the Hokage, but he decided to go carefully. "What brought you here, Hideki-sama?"

"You know why" the old man answered activating his Sharingan and focusing it on his middle section, startling the younger male a bit. "It seem that you have been very occupied lately… with the Hokage."

"I can explain…" he said a little bit scared.

"There is no need"

"What?" he had always expected for those closed minded old farts to call him an abomination and many other names for being able to bear children.

"Madara-sama, there is an old saying that says don´t look a gift horse on the mouth" he tried to put a hand on his belly, but the pregnant man moved away from his reach. The elder looked at him in the eyes with a serious gaze. "Don´t worry, I don´t want to hurt it. It´s our gift horse, specially if he inherited the genes of the two most powerful shinobi and the legitimate right to inherit the leadership of both the Senju and Uchiha clans… of course if it´s a boy."

"You are…" he refrain himself before he could say something offensive. He didn´t like a bit what the man was saying. The council thought of his child as a way to gain more influence on the village and probably control on the other founder clan. Of course, with those greedy old farts everything was about power.

"Now listen to me, you have already failed to bring a proper heir into the world" Madara nearly growled, knowing that he was talking about Maki. He was calling his daughter a failure because she was a girl. "Don´t worry, we are not mad at you, a lot of people make that mistake in their first or second tries… make sure this one is a boy."

"That can´t be control…"

"Then make sure to bear one, I don´t care how many times you have to try" he lifted from his place. "Eat well and take rest, you will need it to bring a healthy heir into the world" and he left.

"Assholes!" finally blew up the clan leader, throwing a lamp into the wall. He was enraged, how dare those old men to think of his baby as a political advantage? Tokka, who was in the kitchen and heard everything, thought the same. She quickly served dinner and ordered another shinobi to guard the house and left for the Hokage tower.

"Tokka-san? What are you doing here?" asked Hashirama. Tobirama was there too, helping his brother to sort some documents. After they heard the history the older Senju was fuming. How could they! Just when he thought that he managed to make things right… "Those stupid old farts…"

"Were you expecting something else from them?" asked the albino, crossing his arms. "I was waiting for a better moment to tell you this, but… our own council knows about the… you know, too and aren´t happy… well, not exactly."

"What does not exactly means?"

"It means that… they had the same reaction. They expect an heir that would give them some control over the Uchiha clan and…"

"This is enraging!" finally exploded the Shodaime. "Not only they dare to think of my child as some kind of politic good, but they dare to… to…" he gritted his teeth. "Argg, this is why I hate politics, it´s so full of selfish assholes that…"

"Hashirama, please settle down" advised the younger brother. "You can´t just go to yell at the elders, believe it or not, they have a lot of power in the village" he frowned. "Maybe I can find out a solution, but while I´m at it, I highly suggest that neither you nor Madara speak to the elders in your clans"

"It´s easier to say than do" he sighed and tried to get the anger out of his system. "Try to distract me, it´s almost time to go home and I can´t be angry around Madara and the baby, it´s not good for them"

"Neither is an idiot visiting him to talk about how a group of old stuck up farts plan to use his baby, but they did" Tokka said, crossing her arms. "I can tell, all his appetite vanished as if it was never there in the first place… he didn´t even took a bite of my special…!"

"Tokka, with all due respect, no one in their right mind would ever eat something cooked by you" she frowned at her white haired cousin. This little scene seemed to relax Hashirama a bit, but in a corner of his mind he made a note to have a word or two with the elders. He walked home, leaving the rest of the paperwork to his brother, only to find his daughter taking a nap and his lover singing a nursery rime. He smiled and hugged the raven haired male from behind, startling him a bit, but then he calmed down.

"Have your cousin already told you what happened today?"

"About the clan elders? Yes, she told me that…"

"No, about the baby" the brunette put a confused face. The Uchiha clan leader grabbed his hand and brought it to his expanded belly. The Senju didn´t understand for a moment, but a light tap against his palm was all he needed to do so. "It started today"

"It´s kicking!" the father cheered. A look from Madara shut him up. "Sorry" he apologized and got out of the room to sit down with his lover on the garden entrance. "This is so great…"

"What? That this little brat is playing kemari with my internal organs?"

"No, it´s just that… he is kicking. It´s so especial…" he rubbed his boyfriend´s enlarged belly. He remembered that in his past life during the three pregnancies Madara had in Konoha he was feeling so guilty about what he was going to do that he barely saw him in those days, losing a lot. He never sense Byakuya kicking before, neither Sorato and Maki, Izuna… oh, God, Izuna! He was never there for his little son. Now he promised things were going to be different, beginning with this… "Thank you for sharing this with me"

"Why not? You are the father" he took a peek inside. "Not the best father in the world, but you are making an effort" then he smirked in a wicked way. "The Uzumaki bitch is the perfect example. What happened to her?"

"I heard from Tobirama that she was banished from her clan, I don´t think we will heard from her again."

"Cheers for that"

-Back with Sasuke-

The Uchiha was woken up for the ninth time on the night. He tried to cover his ears with a pillow, but it was no use. It has been some months since he came back to the lair and he found out that Orochimaru´s strange sickness was really pregnancy. After hearing an even stranger history about how he got with child when he was younger and conserved the kid in some kind of… he didn´t know, but apparently the snake was completing the pregnancy now. When he gave birth and Sasuke thought the wait for his training was over, Mitsuki proved to be an even bigger nuisance than he had first thought. Specially because…

"Can you shut up that brat?!" he yelled, getting up from bed. It was two in the morning and no one in the lair could sleep because for such a tiny being, the albino kid had huge lungs. His cries kept him awake for all the night and when he could finally train he ended up failing asleep even over his kunais. "I can´t sleep!"

"Sorry, Sasuke, but the baby has some gas and…" said Kabuto. He wasn´t happy either, looking as needed of sleep as the Uchiha. The silver haired medic helped with Mitsuki´s birth and since then he was appointed as official collaborator of the new mother in taking care of the child. His nights since then has turned for the worst, now he was condemned to change diapers, prepare formula and cleaning puke from his lord´s shirts from when the baby puked over them.

"Just calm him down!"

"You think you are getting the worst out of this, you stupid kid?" answered the glasses wearing man, nearly falling asleep while yelling at him. "Just put some cotton in your ears and problem solved!"

"It doesn´t help! And what about my training?!"

"Be a little bit more understandable, Orochimaru-sama has just given birth, he will resume your training when he is a little bit better!"

"I want it now" the nerd when a frantic snake called him and he left running. Sasuke grunted and tried to sleep again, not succeeding at all. He frowned and crossed his arms, laying on the bed and tried to sleep. God, it was impossible, thought the raven with his pillow over his ears. "Let me sleep!"
