Naruto stood up and felt like pacing. Then he began to tidy up the office, filing away papers, sorting scrolls etc. he was alone in the office at the moment and as Shizune walked in , she realized what he was doing. He was 'nesting'. It was something that most mothers did right before delivery time. He turned to speak to her then doubled over in pain as his water broke.
"Shizune ...hospital." He wheezed out as his first contraction hit.
Shizune ran over to him. "ANBU, help me get him to the hospital quickly!" she yelled.
One of the ANBU immediately ran over and teleported him to the hospital. Sakura who was on duty at the time , ran up to them and quickly began making preparations in one of the delivery rooms, the largest on they had in fact, as two of the Anbus ran off to find Iruka and Tsunade. Their fastest eagle was sent to Suna to inform Gaara and as the word spread, all of Naruto's friends began making there way at the hospital. A few of the council men showed up as well, wanting to make sure that the Uchiha heirs would not be harmed in any way. There were seven Anbu agents on guard duty as well under their orders and Ino, Hinata and Sakura would be the ones assisting Shizune and Tsunade threw the delivery.
They quickly changed him into a hospital gown, much to his embarrassment and then made him sit up, propped up with pillows. As the contractions hit, they helped him breathe threw it and after a while Naruto began to panic.
"Is the village gonna be okay with so many Anbus here?" he asked scared.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, the boy really was too devoted to the village.
"Yes Naruto its fine. Now try to concentrate on breathing okay?"Tsunade said kindly.
"But what about the paperwork?" Naruto mumbled after a particularly painful contraction. "I still have a whole pile to get done."
"The paperwork will be fine." snickered Shizune.
"But shouldn't someone be at the office in case of an emergency or something?" he asked again.
"Naruto the office is fine, the village is fine now concentrate on breathing." Iruka said placatingly but sternly.
Iruka had been allowed in since he was Naruto's birthing coach and was now standing next to the panicking blonde. Then the contractions got worse as he got fully dilated and Naruto began to whimper from the pain.
Sakura who was timing it nodded. "We're almost there Tsunade -sama." she said..
Finally it was time and Naruto began to push. Iruka stayed by his side and began to help him threw it, telling him it was gonna be okay etc. He had almost finished pushing out the first one when Kakashi showed up, late as usual. He had been let threw by the Anbus since he lived with the blonde and all that and he hurried to the delivery room. He walked in the door after washing up and being prepped and saw the 1st baby halfway out. The copy nin then did something that he had never done before, his eyes rolled over and he promptly fainted.
One of the laughing Anbus quickly picked him up and carried him back to his friends. They all decided that they would never let him live it down.
Meanwhile with Naruto...
"Push Naruto!" Tsunade yelled. "You can do it."
"Kyaah! I'd like to see you push an elephant threw a goddamn keyhole!" Naruto screamed in pain as he did as ordered.
Chiyuki was helping to dull the pain, but it certainly wasn't enough in his opinion. It hurt more than the Chidori had.
"Damn you Sasuke! I'll kill you!" he screamed as he continued to push.
Tsunade chuckled. "That's the spirit Gaki." she laughed as she handed Sakura another baby.
As he pushed he continued to promise certain death for Sasuke. He even went so far as to say he would castrate him with a rusty old spoon. Sakura and the others were thoroughly enjoying the ways he came up with to torture Sasuke and so was most of Konoha from his loud mouth. Even Anko and Ibiki were taking notes, the boy really knew some good stuff. For the next few hours Naruto was in labor and his screams could be heard all over the village. The women kept switching up as assistants in order to stay fresh since it was such a long and grueling labor. During the night, Hiashi showed up as well surprising the others. He stayed until the delivery was over and then waited patiently to see the blonde. The labor had been so long it was actually nineteen whole hours.
Chiyuki had kept her word and the babies were delivered safely with no flaws on them and were perfectly aware. She began healing her kit as soon as he was finished and worked tirelessly until it was all done before falling asleep in her cage out of exhaustion. Naruto was exhausted but happy, he finally had a living blood relative and was now a parent.
"So what are you gonna call them Naruto?" Sakura asked smiling.
Naruto smiled back. He and Iruka had picked out the names together and as the babies were brought to him in the order in which they had been born, he began to name them. All the babies had nine cute little tails , pointy elvish ears and the whiskers on their cheek like there mom.
The first on was Daisuke, he had black hair and blue eyes, then Shinosuke with blonde hair and blue eyes, Kisuke with black hair and eyes, a little girl Suzuke with blonde hair and eyes, Tatsuke a girl with black hair and blue eyes, a boy Mitzuke with blonde hair and black eyes, a girl Naduke with black hair and eyes, Tsunake a girl with blonde hair and eyes, she had sorta been named after Tsunade except for the ending of her name and then there was finally Ritsuke a little boy with black hair and blue eyes.
The others all noticed a certain theme with the name , particularly with the last three letters of their names but wisely said nothing.
Then Naruto yawned. "Tsunade protect the village, Iruka protect my babies and Sakura please feed my babies for me okay?" Naruto said tiredly. "I'm just gonna take a little nap." he told them and drifted off.
The others smiled indulgently as they saw the tired blonde fall asleep, he really had earned it. The elders and all his friends were all allowed to take a quick peek at the babies under Iruka's watchful eye and then they were ushered out by Tsunade and told to come back later. Then Hinata, Iruka, Sakura, Ino and Shizune fed the newborns and put them back to bed after.

Naruto woke up nine hours later feeling fully refreshed and healed to see Kakashi staring down at the babies curiously as if they were aliens. It was obvious that he had no experience with this kind of thing.
"They wont bite you if you pick them up you know." Naruto said causing the copy-nin to jump in surprise.
"They're just so small though." Kakashi said, looking as if he were a bit afraid of them.
Naruto laughed. "Trust me Kakashi, after pushing them out, I know for a fact that they're not small at all." he said.
Then he hopped off the bed and walked over to his babies. He marveled at their cuteness and picked one up. Then he noticed all the flowers in the room and the gifts.
"Who are these from?" he asked surprised.
"They're from the villagers." Kakashi said smiling. "The elders also made yesterday and official holiday."
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise pleasure at that. He felt happy that his babies birthdays would be a holiday instead of a curse like his had always been. Then he turned to Kakashi.
"Thank you Kakashi for being here." he said.
Kakashi smiled and nodded. Then he teleported away after muttering something about 'informing a little dolphin about him waking up.'
A few minutes later Tsunade and Sakura walked in and after giving him a full checkup , told him that he was perfectly fine and all healed up but would be kept until the next day just in case. She was obviously not taking any chances with her precious Gaki.
"So how does it feel to be a grandmother Baachan?" he asked Tsunade with a grin.
Tsunade flushed with pleasure. "I think I'm gonna be letting a lot more gray hairs if they're anything like you were brat." she said.
Naruto snickered but then tensed up as he sensed a few people approaching. "The elders are coming." he said seriously , his voice strained.
The two women nodded in understanding and waited for them to arrive. The council members came and walked in.
"Rokudaime-Uzumaki congratulations on a safe delivery." the elder from the Aburame clan said.
Naruto nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you very much." he said.
"We are aware of the circumstances surrounding your conception and we would all like to thank you on the behalf of the entire village." said the chairman. "I know that we have all made life hard here for you over the years and no amount of apologizing can make up for it, but by having these children you have made us all very happy. We were all uncertain of the future of the Uchiha clans bloodline and you put our fears to rest by not only giving us a child , but actually nine of them all at once, single-handedly restoring the clan." said the chairman smiling.
Naruto nodded solemnly. "All I have ever wanted was what was best for this village. You're right, no amount of apologizing can make up for the pain and humiliation I have suffered at your hands. I can honestly say that if I was really the demon you all accused me of being, you would have all been wiped out by now as demons are very big on vengeance. However as I truly care about this village, I will let the past remain in the past, all I ask is that you treat my children better than you have treated me. I may have put up with everything you threw at me before and never fought back, but I assure you, harm my children and I will rain hell down upon your heads. My children are innocent in all this, the same way that I was and I will allow no one to ridicule , torture, beat , rape or try to poison them the way they did to me." he told them, deadly serious.
The elders nodded. They could understand where the boy was coming from in that and were all guilty of persecuting him.
"We understand and agree." said the chairman.
Naruto nodded. "Do I have your words on that?" he asked seriously.
The chairman and the members of the council nodded. "Yes you do." said the chairman , a bit outraged that there words were being questioned.
Naruto gave them a cruel smirk. " then I will have a contract drawn up and it will have to be signed in blood of course. It will not only be legally binding, but if any of all the villagers as well as you or your descendants break the contract you forfeit your very souls since the grim reaper will be coming for it." he told them.
The chairman blinked in outrage at this. "Our words should be enough." he hissed.
This time Naruto laughed. "Your word? You mean like the one that you gave to my father to make me a hero of this village but instead made me the most hated scape-goat for all the people? I am not the fool I used to pretend to be Mr. Chairman. You've given your word that I will be the next hokage and that you will not interfere with the way I raise my children. You've also given your word that my babies will be protected, well I've learned from experience that your words are not worth much when it comes to me. Do you think that I don't remember your face from the day when I was raped the first time Mr chairman, I was only five at the time, barely. You looked at me with scorn and was against even having the third Hokage allow me to go to the hospital for aid. This is my reassurance that you and your council will keep your word. You could always refuse of course, but since you did give your word to do so then it will just prove to me once again the real worth of your words." he told them coldly.
The chairman and council members knew they were trapped and began to realize that this boy truly was no fool, in fact it was obvious that he was a genius. He had played them skillfully and trapped them in their own game.
"Very well, we will do so." said the chairman.
Naruto nodded and after allowing them to look at his babies, they left him in peace. Tsunade walked up to the blonde and glomped him.
"You handled that well Gaki." she said grinning. "You got those bastards good ."
Naruto grinned. "I learned from the best." he said looking at her and she flushed with pride.
Then he bullied her into returning to the office and then turned to Sakura as soon as she left.
"Sakura, would you and Hinata be their godmother?" he asked.
Sakura flushed and nodded happily before glomping him. Then he kicked her out too and told her to go home and get some rest. As soon as she left Hiashi showed up with Hinata and Hanabi.
"Congratulations Naruto ." Hinata said smiling.
Naruto nodded and gave her one of his genuinely rare smile. " thanks for helping out Hinata-chan." he said then. "To be honest I was wondering if you wouldn't mind being there god mother along with Sakura."
She nodded shyly. "I-I would love to Naruto-kun." she responded.
Naruto nodded and thanked her. Then she and Hanabi walked over to the babies and Hiashi stayed to talk with him privately.
"How are you feeling?" he asked the blond.
"Much better now that that's over." Naruto said grinning. "After this eye opening experience , I've developed a healthy respect for women."
Hiashi laughed. "I would imagine so." he said then. "That was very clever the way you manipulated the council this morning." he told him seriously.
Naruto sobered up. "They've had that one coming for some time and only a fool would ever trust those liars." he said coldly.
"I am on that council too Naruto." said the older man.
Naruto looked him directly in the eye. "I know Hiashi and I have taken that into account. I consider on of the only real friends I have so I will ask you this, when the chips are down who's side are you on?" he asked seriously.
Hiashi responded without blinking. "When the chips are down, I will be on your side Naruto." he told him truthfully.
Naruto nodded and they talked for a bit more until he left. Ino brought Naruto his meal and helped him feed the babies, then Naruto went back to sleep knowing that he had done the right thing.

the next morning...
The next morning after breakfast and another check up, Naruto got ready to leave. Iruka, Tsunade, Kakashi, Ino, Sakura, Shizune, Sakura and Naruto carried the babies in their arms as they walked out of the hospital and out onto the street. Naruto's eyes widened in surprise when he saw all the villagers waiting for him. The villagers began to clap and cheer as he passed by. They called out to him and treated him like the hero he truly was, thanking him for restoring the Uchiha clan. He gave them all a reserved smile and thanked them graciously as he hurried home. He was actually glad to be surrounded by all the Anbus for a change. His friends were all glad that he was being treated better but they could see the strain on his face and his reserved attitude towards them as if they were about to attack him and they couldn't blame him.
They reached his home and helped him to get the babies all settled in, then they left him to bond with his babies in peace. He held his babies one at a time and sang to them as he played with them. He talked to them mentally as he often did and then he fed them again and put them to bed. That night he woke up and went to change and feed them.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next day Jiraiya showed up with Gamabunta. Naruto brought the babies out to show the large from and it teleported away with something suspiciously looking like tears in his eyes. Then Jiraiya came in and looked over his 'grandkids'. Naruto could tell that the toad sage was actually pretty proud to be their grandfather and the next day before he left, he left various gifts for the babies and gave Kakashi two of the latest unprinted Icha Icha books in return to keeping an eye on his grandkids for him.
Gaara and Neji showed up two days later and was immediately brought over to the Uzumaki household. Neji looked more relaxed and Gaara looked adorable while pregnant. Naruto made them the godfathers and then he , Iruka and Gaara went off to the nursery to talk babies for a while.
Kakashi and neji sat there in the kitchen , staring at each other for a while, before Neji spotted on of his new Icha Icha books. His eyes widened and he immediately borrowed it from Kakashi to read before he left. Kakashi in turn, was delighted to meet another fan and they talked about it avidly until the others returned. Naruto rolled his eyes when he found them and realized what they were talking about. He shook his head at the fact that he knew another perverted genius, honestly he must be a magnate to them or something.
Gaara and Neji stayed for three days and then left with Naruto's promise to follow the following week for their wedding. Since the babies were so young, Naruto had decided to work from his estate for a while and had created six blood clones to help him with the kids. Since they didnt poof when you hit them and actually had to be beheaded or fatally wounded to be destroyed , it worked out well. They also didn't drain you of Chakra once they were made. Chiyuki also began making the changes to his body as well and he now had nine beautiful tails, pointed elvish ears like his kids and a more effeminate appearance. It had seriously hurt since his body was literally being re- arranged but in the end he decided it would all be worth it since he would now be able to use the foxes chakra completely without the side effects.
Over the next few months , he trained, learned out to be a parent, hurried to Suna for a wedding and help to run the village that would one day be his. His kids grew rapidly, just a bit faster than normal kids and were extremely intelligent for their age. He was extremely thankful and extremely proud of them. He continued to train in his mind with Chiyuki and he began manipulating the world inside his soul into what he wanted it to be. Chiyuki no longer lived in a cage, or rather it didnt look like one. Naruto had managed to make it into what her old home had looked like based on her memories. He also made his kids enter his mind-scape in order to spend time with their "other mother".
