Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Being a dad means demanding peace over justice. No matter who hit whom last.

Daisuke and Kushina had this whole sibling rivalry thing going on. Maybe it was because they were so close in age, being only ten months apart(Yes, Sasuke is able to impregnate Naruto that fast. No, they will not be research material for a new Icha Icha novel.) and their rooms being next door to each other.

When they were toddlers and doing that whole hitting thing because they didn't know any better was the worse period in Naruto and Sasuke's child rearing life. Thank Kami that Rai and Fugaku were easier to deal with.

The memories that Naruto and Sasuke had of Daisuke and Kushina when they were toddlers...

"She hit me first." Daisuke pointed to his younger sister a pout forming. At three years old he was already known as a prodigy among villagers. What else do you expect from an Uchiha?

"No, I didn't. He hit me first." Kushina stomped her little foot and pointed back at her older brother.

Naruto gave a sigh. Why did he have children again? Oh right, stupid Sasuke and his need to repopulate the whole damn clan. Couldn't he just want to repopulate half the clan?

"I don't care about who hit who first. What I want to know is why any of you two considered hitting one another? Do you know how lucky you two are to have someone else your age to play with? When I was your age I always wanted a brother or sister."

Kushina and Daisuke looked down at the ground ashamed. Mama never yelled she talked to you in this real tired voice that made them wanna cry.

"We were bored and we both Usa on the floor and we both wanted to play with her." Usa was the bunny plushie that Hinata had gotten for Naruto and Sasuke and any children they would have.

"Couldn't you just have shared?" Naruto knew this question was useless when it came to small children that were spoiled by their parents.

Kushina and Daisuke shook their raven heads. Naruto prayed that if he had anymore kids they would turn out like Sasuke. No, wait that isn't a good idea. Konoha couldn't handle another insufferable emo genius.

But Sasuke had the worse end of the deal...

Sasuke considered himself to be patient when it came to dealing with his children. He wasn't quick to yell and shout at them, at least for now when none of them were teenagers. Daisuke and Kushina tested Sasuke's little theory out everyday.

"Daisuke, Kushina please sit down." Sasuke said. He was ready to snap. They were twelve years old. He made a promise not to yell at them until they were thirteen. Couldn't the months go by faster? Stupid thirteen year long New Year's resolution.

"I'd like to point out that this is all Daisuke's fault. He know how that I have this medical condition that forces me to go to the bathroom first thing in the morning."

"Yeah, the disease is called vanity." Daisuke chortled.

"I'm not vain."

"No but you're middle name is."

"Actually, Kushina's middle name is Mikoto," Sasuke said getting sick and tired of hearing his children's voice. Wow, he never thought he say that. "I want you two to stop your needless arguing. You two need to behave properly. Kyoko never gave me as much trouble as you two did and thank Kami that Rai and Fugaku are angels."

Daisuke and Kushina shifted in their seats. Daisuke hated being compared to his perfect hyperactive annoying sister. He was the prodigy, she wasn't. If Kyoko was better behaved than he was, something was up.

Kushina felt herself get a little sad. After she dropped out of the Academy(Being the first Uchiha in history to not graduate) and had to deal with the whispers of the village gossips and her father and mother's reaction she sought to make her father prouder of her more than anything else she did.

"Why the long faces? Naruto will kick my ass if I make you two cry. And then he'll do his 'I-was-right-Sasuke-was-wrong dance and make a bigger idiot out of himself. If that's possible."

"Daddy, if me and Daisuke promise that we will be the bestest of friends will you not compare us to any of our siblings?" Kushina pleaded doing the puppy dog face. It wasn't as good as the Nara's kids but it would do in a pinch.

Sasuke frowned realizing his mistake. "You and Daisuke don't have to be the bestest of friends I just want you two to stop fighting. It's killing your mother. " Sasuke opened his arms knowing that this moment, as many a parenting book taught him, was a hug moment. The children hugged him.

Daisuke in the middle of hugging his father also realized something. "Wait, Dad I thought you said the only thing that could kill Mommy was if Ichiraku Ramen closed down."

"Don't try to ruin my emotional speech."

Author's Note: I felt like Sasuke's part was bit forced. I originally planned it just to be Naruto's part but then I decided I wanted to write about how Sasuke would handle the situation. Sasuke and Naruto handle parenting very differently. Just like most mothers and fathers.

This one was bit tough but I got through it. This one also addresses the question of how far apart in age the Uchiha-Uzmaki children are from one another. Here is how it goes.

Kyoko is one year older than Daisuke. Daisuke is ten months older than Kushina. Kushina is two years older than Rai. Rai is three years older than Fugaku. Yeah, Fugaku seems to me was a mistake. But they(And I!) love him anyway. In fact if you remember from chapter 13 I confessed that Fugaku was my favorite of Naruto and Sasuke's kids.
