Chapter 82 New Additions
Sakura Haruno walked through the halls of the demon fox hospital she had been transferred to the main hospital since there was almost no one to transform, some had even said that the war with the humans was now all but over. She walked down the corridors for a moment she forgot that she wasn't in the Leaf hospital however when she turned the corner and saw two demon foxes looking over some paperwork. Sakura moved to the nurse's desk were a former Leaf village nurse sat at work.
"Welcome back Dr. Haruno." stated a nurse as she handed some paperwork to Sakura "Enjoyed your vacation."
"I will not forget it." said Sakura with a smile, she couldn't tell her about the trip into demon ape country but she could tell her about the most important thing "Naruto-kun proposed to me."
"Congratulation." said the Nurse with a smile "I guess I will have to get used to calling you Doctor Sakura Namikaze."
"Someday but not right now." answered Sakura
"Well in time you will have a bunch of little kits running around." stated the nurse as Sakura smiled at the idea of being a mother and of her and Naruto's kits. "Judging from the number of vixens coming in to confirm their pregnancies there are going to be a lot of kits running around in ten months or so."
"How many this week?" asked Sakura knowing that one of their jobs was to send weekly reports on how many births happened and how many foxes became pregnant.
"We had 15 couples come in to see if they were pregnant this shift alone and that is on top of the three births." said the nurse as Sakura looked at the wall clock.
"The Shift only started 90 minutes ago." stated Sakura as the nurse nodded her head
"If you don't believe me check out the list yourself." stated the Nurse as she handed Sakura the list of names of the couples that had come in. Her eyes widened a bit as she saw the name Mr. and Mrs. Inoichi Yamanaka.
"Well looks like Ino may have a little brother or sister on the way." said Inner Sakura "I would say it is a little weird but then again they are what in their early 40s and foxes can have kits until 60. I mean Lady Tsunade is coming in today for a checkup and she is 58."
"I just wonder if Ino already knows?" responded Sakura as she handed the paper back as suddenly the front doors on the other side of the room opened up as a pair of doctors came rushing in beside a gurney. Sakura looked at the figure on the gurney only to have her heart stop for a moment as she realized it was lady Tsunade. Instantly she ran to her side.
"What is going on?" asked Sakura
"Contractions and labor pains." said a doctor "I think she is going into labor."
"No shit!" yelled Tsunade
"I'll take it from here." ordered Sakura as she turned to another doctor as they moved toward the elevator "I want delivery room one ready by the time we get to the floor. Also get a message to Jiriaya and my pack they will want to be here."
Unaware of the situation going on with her master in the demon world Shizune and Kakashi where looking over a map of the island where the demon feline camp was located.
"According to Neji they have guard posts on either side of the only bridge leading onto the island." Stated Shizune as she pointed to a spot on the map "Once pass far guard post there is around a hundred yards before a massive stone wall twenty five feet high with lookout towers ten feet above that."
"What about the human population?" asked Kakashi
"They are on the far tip of the island and seams for the most part to be unguarded." stated Shizune "Neji has actually spotted demons visiting the older people there."
"Family members coming for a visit." answered Kakashi as he still mentally slapped himself for missing Neji's report because he was getting some sleep.
"Does he have a count of the enemy yet?" asked Kakashi
"Over three thousand demon felines." stated Shizune as Kakashi rubbed his temples, both of them knew that even if the resistance could call up everyone capable of fighting. They would only have two hundred or so ninjas, they could stretch that number by using civilians and genin which had been trained during their time on the run but they were still outnumbered. Their only hope was that the Mist's information was correct and that they showed up. The mist ninja army numbered in the thousands but demons were naturally stronger. They had to outnumber the demons to stand a chance. "However what really matters is what happens in two weeks when the wedding happens. Hopefully the number drops during the wedding and if they are drunk then we can send them running."
"Do we know where the supplies are?" asked Kakashi knowing that was one of the key reasons they were going on this mission.
"There are four warehouses located inside the fort but Neji can't get a good look without risking being seen." stated Shizune as Kakashi nodded his head as suddenly a strange roar filled the air.
"What is that?" asked Kakashi as he and Shizune ran toward the window only to see something either one of them had seen in their lives. There hovering twenty feet above the beach was a strange craft, it had sloped front with darkened windows with two wings coming from the top part of the craft. On each tip of the wings roared two engines which sent a small stream of flames down toward the beach. The two ANBU teams that had been with them since the beginning taking defensive positions.
"What that hell?" asked Shizune
"I have no idea." stated Kakashi as he saw one of the ninjas throw a kunai with a paper bomb at the craft however it never made contact as a cylinder which hung on the front of the craft turned and fired. The kunai was blown out of the air long before it made contact.
"Don't try that again." stated a voice from the craft "I mean you no harm in fact I am here to help."
"We need to run." whispered Shizune as Kakashi nodded his head.
"If you run away you will ruin your best chance of saving humanity." stated the voice as Shizune and Kakashi both wondered how the craft could hear them though the outer walls of the building yet alone see them. "If you're wondering how I heard you turn around."
The both of them turned around to see another much smaller craft powered by four small fan like engines right behind them. The machine was only a foot across as it hovered at their eye level as a camera zoomed in on them, the scariest thing was that it was that it made no noise whatsoever.
"Who are you?" asked Kakashi
"Come outside and I will introduce myself." stated the voice as the craft landed on the beach. Kakashi and Shizune slowly moved toward the craft which had powered down on the beach, they looked around to see six small craft maybe the size of a hawk however attached to each of those machines was a same weapon which had blown a kunai out of the sky. Suddenly the front of the craft lowered showing a duel seat and the controls of the craft. Sitting in the lead seat was a figure dressed in a deep navy blue uniform; he looked strangely human apart from the salt and pepper fur around the face apart and the ape like face. Attached to the side of the head around the place where the ear should have been was square object which moved out to form a green visor over one of his eyes. Everyone watched as the figure slowly got out of the craft, first he took off the visor and pulled an object out from the side of the craft. The object extended to form a cane as the figure stood up like an old man.
"I haven't flown a Raven scout aircraft since I before I went to the war college it's hard on these old bones." stated the figure as he moved slowly toward the two Leaf ninjas, his hand gripping the cane.
"What are you?" asked Shizune as the figure stopped a few feet away from the two ninjas.
"I young lady am Dr. Han Winters the last of the demon apes." stated Dr. Winters as he offered his hand "Naruto and Sakura asked me to find you and to help."
"If you're the last demon ape then we could kill you and end a demon race." stated an ANBU as he held a kunai in his hand.
"You could but you would only be speeding up my natural death and it would end you since the Bee drones behind you would revenge me before destroying themselves and the Raven." stated Dr. Winters as he pointed to the drones which flew automatically over their heads. "Maybe a sign of trust is needed to ease the tension."
Everyone watched as he moved his hand so that his forearm was in front of him. He tapped his wrist two times as his forearm started to glow a deep green, before anyone could ask a keyboard and screen appeared. The two items appeared to be made out of light as Dr. Winters used his other arm to type in a command. Once he finished the drones instantly started moving, they moved toward the Raven before entering compartments located along the side of the bird.
"There I am disarmed." stated Dr. Winters "Now will you allow me to help."
"Alright, let's talk." stated Kakashi
In the demon world the legendary sannin Jiriaya was as scared as he had ever been in his life as he sat on a long metal bench located in the maternity ward waiting room. He didn't even notice until he heard his name.
"Sensei." stated Naruto as Jiriaya looked up to see Naruto standing there with a cup of water.
"Sorry Naruto didn't notice you." said Jiriaya as he took the plastic glass in his one arm.
"I don't blame you." stated Naruto "I am sure I will be in the same state when it happens to me."
"I shouldn't have gone out." stated Jiriaya "She went into labor and I wasn't there."
"You were having breakfast with your old students, and she wasn't supposed to go into labor for another weak." explained Minato as he walked up to his old sensei. The waiting room was filled with the Namikaze pack, along with Naruto's friends and more than few former leaf ninjas who wanted to check on their former leader.
"I still should have been there." stated Jiriaya as he looked to the double doors which lead to the delivery rooms, since the birth was high risk not even he was allowed in. "It is also a pain that I can't be there."
"She is in great hands." stated Minato "My future daughter-in-laws hands."
Before anyone could say anything Sakura walked out of the operating area, she had on a pair of medical gloves and mask. Instantly Jiriaya jumped to his feet and ran toward Sakura.
"How is she?" asked Jiriaya as everyone gathered around her.
"Stable." answered Sakura "However a natural birth is out of the question now if we tried that it is certain death for all three. We have to go with a c-section however the risk to Tsunade is very high and we may lose her as we focus on the kits. I need to know what you want us to do?"
"So you want me to choice between Tsunade or the kits?" asked Jiriaya as Sakura took a breath
"In a way, there are only so many doctors in there." stated Sakura "If we have too do you want us to focus on Tsunade or the kits? You are listed as the one who makes the medical choices for her when she can't."
Jiriaya took a breath as he faced the most difficult choice in his life as he thought about what Tsunade would want.
"She would want her to save the kits first." answered Jiriaya as Sakura nodded before heading back into operating the room as Jiriaya sat back down in the first chair he could find.
Jiriaya wasn't the only one sitting down; in the human world Shizune and Kakashi were sitting around a table with Dr. Winters. Not even Kakashi's mask could hid the stun expression as Dr. Winters explained the history of the demon apes and the truth behind the transformation agent.
"I don't understand why are you the only survive?" asked Shizune "I mean you said you were in a clean room but there has to be more than one clean room."
"My punishment was to work and live alone in a clean room cell. Near the end we knew that our race was lost." Stated Dr. Winters "By then more than a few of my coworkers decided to end their lives and join their families."
"Why didn't you?" asked Kakashi knowing that suicide was among the highest killer of the resistance.
"I decided that I had to do something to save the other races which survived the bio weapon better than we did." stated Dr. Winters "That is when I tried to but my work was twisted and they decided to turn humans into demons."
"Why didn't you stop them." demanded an ANBU as Dr. Winters looked at him "We could have lived in peace."
"I could have stopped it but the only way I could have been to destroy all nine living demon races. I already had the destruction of six races including my own on my shoulders. I couldn't do that if I could destroy nine races to save the human race, I had to sacrifice the human race, I didn't want to force the turn on humans which is why no human has been turned into a demon Ape" stated Dr. Winters "However I never gave up hope that I may save all the races. The demon races have reached a safe population level; with my help and the help of the human resistance in the demon world we can end this war."
"How do you want to end this war?" asked Kakashi
"In just under two months is the traditional world wide celebration of the end of the last demon war. When that happens all the demons in this world will return for a grand planned celebration because of the anniversary of the demon war and the pacification." stated Dr. Winters "We will active seals which will destroy the bridge between the demon and human world."
"We are not pacification." stated Kakashi
"Not yet but if you carry out your attack on that fort you will be." stated Dr. Winters as Kakashi looked at him.
"How did you know about that?" asked Kakashi
"I have spy drones about the size of house flies and I have been monitoring the high level military meetings of the other nations." stated Dr. Winters "They know you are coming to attack them and when you do they will take all of the resistance fighters and the last large military force the humans have."
"It's a trap?" asked Shizune
"Yes." said Dr. Winters as he lowered his head a bit "I am sorry to dash your hopes but it is a trap and if you attack you will lose everything."
"How about giving us some of those wonder weapons?" asked an ANBU "We could kill a lot of demons with those."
"Which is why you will not get them." stated Dr. Winters with such force "I am here to save lives not help you take them."
"So if we can't attack what do you think we do?" asked Kakashi
"We have three major options and a few others less likely options." stated Dr. Winters "The first option is turn you all into demon apes…by your choice of course. The remaining humans will become the new demon apes and rebuild the nation which was destroyed."
"I wouldn't want that." stated an ANBU "We fought demons for almost a year why would we choice to become demons now."
"It is your choice not mine, I will not force this one you." stated Dr. Winters "The second option is that you run and hid for two months and wait for us to seal the demon world off and let us finish off the rest of our plan."
"Two months we have to last just over two months longer?" asked Shizune
"Correct, and the separation will last at minimal a thousand years." explained Dr. Winters
"I am not sure we have enough in to last two months not without fresh supplies and some victories to give people hope." admitted Kakashi
"I can supply you with whatever you need." stated Dr. Winters "However victories is the only thing I can't give you."
"What are the other options?" asked Shizune
"The other major option we have come up with is to take all the humans to the ape capital and without turning you give you the city." stated Dr. Winters "I would give you the nation, the only thing that you wouldn't have access to would be the high power weapons. I would leave that in the hands of the AI. In time your children and grandchildren will shape their new home."
"The bad options?" asked Kakashi
"Turn you all into demons of your choice and have you join whatever race you want. The last option is I use my anti-mater bombs to turn most of your world to ash destroying the landing seals for the demons to come to this world. However that would pretty much make 78% of all the land area useless for three hundred years." stated Dr. Winters as the humans blinked "The choice is yours, we picked the one we want to do but in the end it is your race so it is your call."
Minutes seem like hours in the waiting room as everyone waited for news, time seamed even longer for Jiriaya because it was his kids and the vixen he loves in there. Finally after what seemed like forever Sakura walked back out of the delivery room. She let out a deep breath as she rubbed her eyes.
"How are they?" asked Jiriaya fearful of the answer.
"Tsunade and the little boy are still touch and go but stable." said Sakura
"I thought they were all full grown, she was only 10 days away from the due date." stated Ino
"He is full size but he is having trouble breathing that is why he is on oxygen." explained Sakura
"Can I see them?" asked Jiriaya
"Of course." answered Sakura as she led Jiriaya down a side corridor and toward recovery rooms. She stopped outside the door.
"Aren't you coming in?" asked Jiriaya as Sakura shook her head.
"No, not yet." answered Sakura "One of the rules which Lady Tsunade taught me was always give a new family time together alone."
Jiriaya took a breath as he walked into the room; it was set up like any other hospital room. A single bed was set up near the center of the room. That is where Tsunade was lying with a blanket covering most of her body. An IV ran down into her arm with a heartbeat monitor attached, there was also two small baby beds located beside Tsunade. For a moment Jiriaya just stood there not sure who to go to first.
"How long are you just going to stand there?" asked Tsunade as she tilted her head and looked toward Jiriaya "I already did the hard part, you just have to say hello to them."
Jiriaya slowly started walking toward the three of them.
"They aren't going to hurt you." said Tsunade "And I have way too many painkillers running though my veins to do anything to you."
"Well they are your kits." said Jiriaya as he finally reached the first of the small beds. He couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the sleeping newborn demon fox. She was wrapped in a pink blanket to keep her warm since her new beach blonde hair was still just coming in. If it wasn't for the fox ears and the muzzle she looked almost human. Even though he had written all those love stories he never truly believed in love at first sight, he was one to believe that love had to grow like a tree. That belief went straight out the window as he looked at his newborn daughter. Even though he had never seen her before he was instantly in love with her as he placed his hand beside her and rubbed her check. The newborn instantly moved toward her father's hand.
"Hello Raylai." said Jiriaya as he remembered they had agreed to name their daughter after Tsunade's grandmother. Tsunade just smiled as she watched father and daughter.
"You do realize that there are two of them?" asked Tsunade as Jiriaya left his daughter's side and moved to his son's. He was smaller than his sister maybe that was why he had to be on oxygen. His son had snow white fur over his boy; he was currently sleeping with oxygen tubes in his nose. Slowly he placed his finger in his son's palm. His son grasped the figure tightly in his hand, just like before with his daughter he felt a deep and instant love for him.
"Well looks like Hiruzen has your strength." laughed Jiraiya as he looked at his son who was name after their old sensei.
"Well, look at who his mother is." answered Tsunade "By the way they are our children not just mine."
