Hey guys, here is the bonus chapter I promised for you. I suppose you can skip it as it serves no direct influence on the story line. Basically, this is Naruto's dream journal where he writes down all the dreams/memories he has.
(Dream Journal)
Sakura stood in front of Naruto, who was clutching Naruko's hand tightly. The redhead girl in turn, dug her nails into his hands, as apprehension gripped her heart.
"Well, what's the prognosis, doc?" Naruto asked, giving a nervous laugh as he felt tears slide out of his eyes as he saw the serious face. He knew that face, that was the face Sakura had had when, she died.
"I some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is ... you won't be having a baby." Sakura said, pausing as Naruko cried out, not trying to hold the tears back anymore as she buried her head in Naruto's shoulder. Naruto himself looked so depressed, like death hadn't already taken enough from him, fate had decided this for him. Looking at Sakura, however, he saw her faint smile as she flipped the clipboard over, allowing Naruto's trained eyes to scan the pages.
"The good news is, though, you're having twins." Sakura said as Naruko paused for a second before releasing Naruto's neck, then grabbing Sakura tightly as he began to throttle the pink haired girl.
"You upset me so much, Sakura-chan. Why did you do that?" Naruko asked as tears of joy streamed down her face. "Isn't this wonderful, Naru-kun?" Naruko continued as she looked at her husband.
"Very, only, there's one problem. We have about 8 months left now." Naruto said as he turned to look out the window across the village. "Oh well, we can worry about that later. SAKURA! Call Sasuke over, we're having a party to celebrate." Naruto shouted as the girl nodded before running out as Naruko looked at Naruto's face as he smiled at her.
"I know I'm going to regret asking, but 8 months until what exactly?" Naruko asked as his strong arms encircled her, pulling her close to him.
"8 months until Obito attacks, because then the seal will be weakened. I have 8 months to get so strong that he'll never get close to you. I refuse to let what happened with you, to happen to our children." Naruto said as Naruko hugged him tighter.
Naruto glared across the black pool of water at the reverse image of himself. His signature sword clutched in the Anti's hand as he blocked Naruto's path. Behind him sat Naruko, her hands bound together along with her feet.
"So, you represent the darkness within me, huh? I don't suppose I could convince you to tell me what I need to do to get past you?" Naruto said as he slid his own blade free, only for the Anti's to appear right in front of him with his sword in a downward slash.
"Sure, you need to DIE!" The Anti said as he feinted a thrust before switching to his non-dominant hand as the blade slid past Naruto's guard, leaving a shallow cut on his cheek.
Naruto heard a gasp as he looked at Naruko, seeing an identical cut on her cheek.
"So, you ready to decide?" Anti-Naruto asked as he pointed his blade at Naruto's throat.
Naruto looked down the blade, seeing the look in his Anti's eyes. Recognizing the look, he sheathed his sword, the Anti smirking as a bright light shined behind him.
"Good job, punk, but the darkness inside of you has many layers to it, and I'm just getting started." The Anti's voice sounded from all around him.
Naruto was laying beside Naruko, Jiriya having left them to go and do perverted things. As he played with his sensor abilities, keeping track of Jiriya, and the other shinobi in the town, who was actually hiding his chakra quite well. To a normal sensor, it felt like a civilian's, but to Naruto, he could feel the breath of the chakra, controlled, flowing with finesse, like a trained shinobi.
However, he was brought out of his thoughts as a knock at the door alerted him. He pushed himself up, Naruko remaining asleep as Naruto moved silently. Sending a pulse through the door, his eyebrows shot up as he sensed a familiar chakra signature.
Grabbing a fish off of a plate that Naruko had prepared for him, he bit into the body as savory fish meat flooded his tongue. Continuing to the door, he opened the door to see his older brother, and a large man with blue skin, a Mohawk, and a giant sword that Naruto recognized as Kisame Hoshigaki from the Bingo Book.
Pulling the fish out by the tail, he flicked his wrist at Kisame as he sent the fish tail smack into his face.
"Hello, brother, are you ready to tell why you executed our clan?" Naruto asked as Itachi started to enter the room, only to be stopped by a line of seals. "Yeah, isolation seal, ingenious isn't it?" Naruto asked rhetorically as Itachi tried to grab him, only for the boy to grab his wrist, using a chakra scalpel to sever the tendons as his hand went limp.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Sasuke says hey." Naruto said, as a flash of annoyance flashed across Itachi's face before being hidden behind the perfect mask of indifference.
Well, since there is only one person left, would someone like to volunteer to fight? Be warned, should you lose, you will be eliminated from the finals." Hayate said as he coughed into his hand. Everyone watching intently before a hand went up, Haku smirking at his opponent as Naruto jumped over the railing, landing on the balls of his feet like a cat.
"Well, looks like we will get to test ourselves against each other after all. I look forward to our fight, where I will beat you!" Haku said, setting his body in the ready stance for his style. However, he, along with everyone, was confused as Naruto smiled at Haku before reaching behind him to untie his headband from his overcoat.
"What are you doing, Naruto-kun?" Haku asked as Naruto folded the headband with care before tossing it to Naruko who caught the metal in her hand as she brought it to her chest, placing it inside of a pocket.
"My headband represents my allegiance to Konoha, just as yours does. But, it also marks us as friends, and as long as I was wearing that, we were friends. Now, I can't acknowledge you as my friend, and so, I won't hold back against you, so come at me with the intent to protect Konoha!" Naruto as he kicked off, a kunai already in movement as Haku managed to block it with his Senbon.
Naruto couldn't believe it. It seemed so out of character for the shy bluenette that he almost tried to release what must surely be a Genjutsu. However, her swaying hips, and boy trapped with his hand in her arm, only confused him more. As she reached him, though, he smelt the problem.
Hinata smelled worse than Tsunade after a hard day. Naruto almost laughed as he saw Haku's uncomfortable face as his girlfriend dragged him down the street toward his apartment complex. She paused only for a second as she turned the bottle she pulled from her cleavage up, and swallowed at least half the contents before pressing her lips to Haku as she kissed him deeply, the boy trying unsuccessfully to get away from her.
"No, pretty boy, the night is just getting started. You may look like a girl, but underneath those clothes, I've seen what sets you apart as a man among boys. And I intend to have a lot of fun tonight." Hinata slurred out as Haku tried once more to get away, only for Hinata to bury his face in her cleavage as he fell unconscious due to either the flumes, or lack of oxygen.
Naruto couldn't help it as he began laughing at his friend's predicament, even as he filed the knowledge of Hinata's drunk personality away for further use. He then saw Hinata meet Sakura, who was walking with Ino as they were talking about their training.
"Hey Washboard, Slut!" Hinata yelled as she grabbed Ino's breast, nailing Sakura upside the head with her trusty bottle as she threw Ino through a wall into a bathhouse, where Naruto heard a girly scream as Ino ran out, old men with towels watching her as she ran away.
"Yep, definitely going in the files." Naruto said as he smiled, walking off to find one of his fiancées.
"Well, Naruto-san, now that you have revealed yourself as an Uchiha, you will be named head of the clan, as well as one of the remaining two Uchihas." Homaru said as he pushed a paper towards Naruto, who looked at the page with masked anger.
"You will also be placed under the CRA, along with your brother. You will take at least 8 wives, along with your brother, who you will inform." Koharu said as Sarutobi watched with a slight smile on his face as he saw Naruto's icy glare land on the elders.
"1. I'm perfectly aware of how the CRA works. 2. How about I make up the difference, 8 for me, 5 for my brother, as well as 3 children within three years?" Naruto said as he gave a look that left no room for argument. Yet, from somewhere inside of themselves, the elders found the strength to argue with the dangerous boy in front of them.
"No, the deal will not be negotiated with. You will each take 8 wives, and have however many children we require, or you will both be placed under arrest for treason, and your chakra sealed, along with your Sharingan." Homaru said as he sat up, leaning on the table on his arms as Naruto looked up apathetically.
"That you require, or that Konoha requires. You had best be careful, don't forget that the Hokage is right here with us. You can't bully your way around with me, and I know for a fact that you can't have me arrested for refusing to have children. I will fulfill the agreement of the CRA, but my brother will take no more than 5 wives, now then. As you have just pointed out, I am head of the Uchiha clan now, and with that comes certain perks, such as access to the Uchiha vaults. And who knows what I may find in there, like documents of a planned attack on a Hidden Village; I have to wonder what would happen if these plans were to be given to the public?" Naruto said with a blank face as he used his shinobi mask to intimidate the elders.
"How do you… Well, it matters not, you wouldn't dare do such a thing as it would reveal the less than savory nature of your ancestors. The public would demand you be killed as soon as those documents hit the ground!" Koharu as she had a look of arrogance on her face as she rose to leave, only for Naruto's voice to hook her ear as she turned around with a glare.
"Really, would they, let's not forget who covered the whole incident up. My brother, who happened to be an ANBU Captain at the time. I would say that he wouldn't take his former home village that he sacrificed so much for executing his younger brothers. I wonder how many secrets he could leak to the other villages, and various criminal organizations before you managed to stop him. Also, I know that should I die, Naruko will die killing and destroying this entire village in her rage. Then, not only will you have lost the Sharingan, but a chance at the Rinnegan as well, along with your jinchuurikis. So, just let me tell you, should you try to force me, or my brother, or my beloved, to anything against their will, those documents will be the least of your worries." Naruto said as he kicked the chair out from under himself, Shushinning away.
Naruto smiled as he looked at the kunai in front of him; it had taken a full year to perfect this technique, the seals, and the material of the kunai, but he had done it. He would have to remember to thank Naruko for access to her father's scroll over the Hiraishin, it had been instrumental in Naruto new jutsu, which he was about to test out.
Creating a sealess Shadow Clone, he placed his palm on the back of its neck, right over the junction of the spinal column to the brain stem, a small black mark being left behind. Then, Naruto twirled the kunai around his finger as the clone began to run away. Naruto gave it ten seconds, which was plenty of time for his clone before he smirked, throwing the kunai as high as he could before he saw the kunai turn in mid-air to point towards the fleeing clone, and flew at it.
Within seconds, Naruto felt the rush of knowledge from the clone as he reviewed its memories of running through the forest, dodging around trees, only for the kunai to follow his movements before finally striking him on target directly on the seal.
"Excellent. Now all I have to do is tag that traitorous Obito, and my kunais can track him to the ends of the world." Naruto said as he turned back towards Konoha.
"I don't see what the big deal is about this gaki!" Hidan yelled as he walked beside Kakazu towards their target, Naruto Uchiha.
"Well, for one thing, he's Itachi's little brother, and from what he tells us, he can almost match Itachi at his best, Itachi that is. Also, if Zetsu's info is too be trusted, he goes by a secondary name along with 'Konoha's Black Lion', 'The Modifier'. According to Zetsu, he got this name due to his ability to take Konoha clan jutsu and adapt them to his purposes." Kakazu said as Hidan looked excited at sacrificing someone strong.
"Still, he steals from his village to gain strength, sounds like something normal to me. I think God-sama is just scared that Itachi may be considering siding with his brother, rather than God-sama." Hidan said as he gave his trusty scythe a few test swings.
"True, but his Futon: 64 Drills, Katon: Lion's Roar, Torch Blast, and Shinigami's Arrow are all assassination jutsu that he modified from another clan's, or famous shinobi's, jutsu. He also possesses the Sharingan, so he is not to be underestimated. He is also the youngest person to earn an S-Rank in the Bingo Book. One last thing, apparently, a Hunter-nin was found by Iwa, almost dead. He had witnessed a fight between Naruto and an unknown shinobi, and reported on his death bed that he saw Naruto Uchiha take on the appearance of a giant silver metal beast. And the fact that he is rarely seen away from one of his wives, who are all powerful kunoichi, three of the being jinchuurikis as well, we may actually die on this mission." Kakazu said as Hidan's smile only grew at the prospect of fighting such a strong opponent, and sacrificing him to Jashin.
Little did either Akatsuki member know, Naruto was perched in a nearby tree, having heard the entire conversation as he ran back towards his nearby camp where Naruko sat, eating her dinner of rice balls after several bowls of ramen.
Naruto was breathing heavily as he wondered into the cave, seeing his downed brother. He had fought with all his power, but had ultimately drawn with the Snake, who had managed to mark his brother with that accursed Curse Seal. However, he would find a way to free his brother from his control, even if it was the last thing he did.
As his strength left him, he began to fall forwards, only for a body to catch him. Looking up, he saw the blood red hair, and smiling face, of his girlfriend, Naruko.
"Did you have fun, Naru-kun?" She asked as she helped him to the cave, where she gave him a chakra pill as he used his healing jutsu to fix his many wounds, also trying to lower Sasuke's fever. This continued for several minutes as Naruto channeled more chakra into the jutsu, only for Sasuke's body to grow ever hotter.
"Kuso, his body is trying to reject the Curse Seal, and is heating up his chakra network similar to how the blood heats up to purge diseases. If this continues, he could lose the ability to use chakra. I've got to find a way to funnel off the excess heated chakra. Naturally, I would prefer to use myself, but-" Naruto said to himself as he mentally jotted things down like a doctor, only to be interrupted by Naruko placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Use me. Kura-chan can purify it once it's inside my body, and if it keeps your brother safe, I don't mind." Naruko said as Naruto looked her in the eyes for a second before turning back to look at the heavily sweating Sasuke.
"Okay, but if it starts to get to be too much, let me know and I'll stop." Naruto said as he placed both hands on Sasuke's forehead, then taking one of Naruko's and placing it under his as he felt the fire travel up her arm almost instantly.
Naruko also felt it, it was like someone had poured lava into her bloodstream, and acid in her bones as she bit through her lip in pain as she tried not to show that it hurt. Removing her mind from the task, she spoke to Kurama inside of her.
"OI, think you could help me by purifying this chakra before I bite something off ad kill myself and you with me." Naruko asked as Kurama nodded, sighing at the annoying girl, honestly, did she just volunteer for any old painful thing because she thought that Kyuubi would patch her up. Thinking for a second, the fox bijuu smirked as a cruel plan came to mind.
Meanwhile, Naruto was focusing intently on Sasuke's temperature, and chakra levels, after all, it would do much good to fix him if he died of chakra exhaustion. Looking at Naruko, he smiled as he kissed the girl's forehead, only for him to frown as he removed a hand from Sasuke's head as he checked Naruko's temperature, finding it reaching boiling.
"Kuso, Kyuubi, you better fix this, or I'll find a worse punishment for you than being stuck inside a human!" Naruto threatened, knowing that the fox could hear him.
Then, he removed his other hand from Sasuke's head as his temperature returned to normal, placing both hands on Naruko's cheeks as she looked at him through half-lidded eyes.
"Naru-kun, it's so hot. I feel like a fire is burning inside of me, and it needs to be put out, please put it out, Naru-kun." Naruko begged as she began removing her clothes, Naruto trying in vain to stop her as she pushed into him, his back pressing against the cool, soft moss of the walls as Naruko pulled his tongue into her mouth, sucking on it as her hands slid down his body.
"Hey, Naruko, do you want to go on a date?" Sasuke asked as the trio walked down a main street towards a training ground as Naruto wanted to get some more practice with one of his secret jutsu that not even Naruko knew.
"If I say yes, will you stop asking me?" Naruko asked as she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Naruto's brother.
"Uhh…" Sasuke trailed off as he didn't have an answer to that. He looked off to the side, blushing at being called out in front of his brother.
"Why exactly do you ask me if I want to go on a date with you, despite knowing that I'm dating your brother. I would hope that you aren't shallow enough to think I would dump your brother to go out with you. So tell me, or your brother why you keep asking me on a date." Naruko said as she looked at Sasuke, who bit his lip as he considered running away with his dignity in tatters.
"I don't need to know why he does it, I already know, Sasuke knows too, he just doesn't want to admit it for fear of looking weak. After all, no one knows that I'm an Uchiha yet, so its up to Sasuke alone to maintain our clan's appearance of strength and dignity. I won't tell you, since it doesn't effect me, so if you want to know, you'll have to convince Sasuke to tell you." Naruto said as he fiddled with the handle of his sword as he tried different ways of drawing it.
Naruko looked expectantly at Sasuke, who still refused to look at her, although now it was more due to fear than embarrassment, what if she laughed at him, he couldn't handle that.
"Sakura. I-I-I. ANIKI! Can you just tell her please." Sasuke started before he shouted at Naruto, who smirked as he kept looking forwards.
"Nope, it's your confession, not mine. It means more if you admit it, rather than just hear me say it." Naruto said as they entered the training ground, Naruto smirking as he sensed a rapidly approaching chakra signature.
"Fine, since you want to be mean Aniki!" Sasuke said, sticking his tongue out before turning back to Naruko. *Sigh* "I, may possibly, beamasochist." Sasuke, running it all together as Naruko looked confused, as Sasuke took a deep breath, going slower this time.
"I'm a masochist. I like the girls who are more tsundere, and play hard to get. It's why I don't like the fan girls, they're just so, they'd strip naked and spread their legs in the middle of the street if they thought it would make me choose them as my wife. I prefer it when they make me earn their affection, that way I know if it's more realistic, and just some crush. Kaa-chan would beat me if I didn't choose the girl I actually loved as my Head Wife." Sasuke admitted as he looked at Naruko, waiting for the laughter to come.
Only, she rushed the young Uchiha, wrapping her arms around him as she buried his head in her chest, squealing, "Aww, Sasuke, wants to be in love. That's so adorable."
"He may have forgotten to mention that he's partial to redheads, and related colors, which is strange because almost every Uchiha born has it ingrained into their brains that black hair is the best, as most Uchiha's are born with black hair, myself excluded of course. Come to think of it, Itachi always preferred brunettes over ravens. And I preferred blondes, huh, weird how us three brothers all went outside the norm." Naruto said as he began talking to himself, glancing into the trees to see a flash of pink before it vanished back towards Konoha.
A/N: Well, there you guys have it. The bonus chapter, not exactly what you may have thought, but this way you can some into my mind, and hopefully get some answers for the questions that all of you decided not to post as reviews. Then again, hopefully I left you with lots more questions, and you'll be forced to keep up with this story to find out the answers. Now then, the quote that I decided to base this off of.
They say dreams are memories of a past life
So how do you know that this isn't a dream
And those dreams you have every night
That they aren't the moments of consciousness in reality?
And how do you know that when clarity grips your mind
That when you dream of a better time or place
How do you know that your mind
Hasn't given up on life and just drifted off into your basest desires?
Have a good day guys.
