I do not own naruto anime, manga or other released formats.
Naruto was not having a pleasant day, one problem after the other. First his best friend Minato decides that Naruto had served more than enough time in ANBU. So the new hokage decided to simply tell him that he should try being a teacher for a squad of genin. This cause Naruto to simply walk to the nearest ramen shop and ordered enough ramen to feed a family of 5. He kept muttering, while he ate until Kushina decided to stop by the same ramen stand. She could not understand what would make Naruto look so upset. "He took me off ANBU duty! Can you believe it, and what's worse he wants me to be a jounin teacher to a group of genin. Tell me Kushina have I done something to make our venerable Hokage hate me so much? Did I miss a birthday? Did I insult the hokage in someway that I was not aware of?" Kushina heard that and she stopped eating, why she stopped eating? because she started laughing to hard to be able to eat. "No, Naruto has your beloved wife told you any news lately? Anything about her health maybe?" Naruto could hardly remember anything bad happening, he tried really hard to remember but Mikoto did not mention anything. He did notice that she was a little nauseas, and had occasional faints and other discomforts. But he attributed with over work. What could Kushina know that he didn't.
Kushina did of course know that Mikoto had a big surprise for him, but how could he not notice? "Naruto, I don't mean to pry. But how many times a week do you make love with your wife?" The wife of the ramen stand owner was now definitely listening in on this conversation. Naruto could not help but to blush at the question. "5, it was not that many. I wish I had time for more, but between Clan duties, and then ANBU I just didn't have enough time in the day." At that moment every single person had a very strange reaction. The men found knew respect for the blond Uchiha, the ladies were flat out envious of Mikoto. "Naruto believe me when I say, that Mikoto is getting to enjoy you a lot more than the typical marriage. Minato can do 3 and that is max. 5 times in a week? And you only have 1 kid?" Kushina finished her serving of ramen, and Naruto was just starting his last. "What? they do teach basic sex ed in the academy you know. And don't tell anyone but that pervert's books can give couples a few ideas to keep things fresh in that department." For an instant every single women nearby, found a new respect for Icha Icha. Who knew that the pervert's books actually served as a marital aid.
Naruto finished his last serving and decided to speed his way towards his home. He just had to find out what Kushina was insinuating. If it was what he was suspicious about, then Minato's decision would make sense. He jumped through his bedroom window and saw little Itachi looking at some of his old student photos. "Something I can help you with son?" Itachi looked at his dad, and with a bit of shyness, he asked. "Dad, when do I get to go to the academy?" Naruto rubbed his son's head, and smiled. He wanted to go to the academy already, that made him feel proud. "When you are 6 years old, so that would be in a little while. But in the mean time you can prepare with my training. You want to be the best don't you son?" He simply nodded his head and told his father that he would make him proud.
He walked out of the bedroom to see, a smiling Mikoto. It was clear that she had been listening to their conversation. Naruto told his son to go outside and trained. Itachi obeyed without asking why he needed to train at that moment. "Well my love, when were you going to tell me?" Naruto asked Mikoto while holding her close to him. "Lunch is going to be a little late. Is that what you mean?" Mikoto joked at his expense. He rubbed his hand on her stomach. "No, I mean why did you not tell me that you and I were going to be bringing another child into this world?" Mikoto was surprised, she immediately blamed Kushina and Minato. They must have told Naruto, she had been careful to give him the special surprise after a nice dinner. "So what do you think? You ready to have another little boy around the house?" Naruto kissed her with all the love and care that he could. "I am happy if the love of my life is happy. So the question is are you happy, my beloved?" Mikoto always smiled at who her husband always seemed to be thinking about her happiness. The honeymoon period was over, or so would be for many couples. But Naruto was not the typical ninja, he always seemed to do something romantic to keep the couple growing closer as time progressed. "So why so early my darling." He smiled at her and told what happened at the hokage's office. "So my husband will be able to dedicate more time to me, before he gets saddled with a group of genin. Yes, this is definitely my lucky day!" Mikoto was smiling, but a chibi Mikoto in her mind was jumping and dancing out of sheer joy and doing the victory sign. "Seems that way, but who knows maybe I can also help you train our little boy about his future as a big brother?" Mikoto simply told him to wait a couple of months. Let their child enjoy his training and play time. He would have responsibilities soon enough.
Madara was looking at his organization. The place where they had made their base seemed less of a cave and finally looked like a place people lived. Tsunade had secretly stolen Orochimaru's cloning techniques and with the facility finally finished. She started to make a few clones for each of the members. Sasori practically wanted to kiss the snake princess as he called her. This meant that he would have a lot more materials to improve his current puppets, and be able to replace his own body more than he ever had planned before. The other members found their clones to be a little creepy at first but then realized that they could use the clones as expendable troops. This would make work a lot easier, and in the eyes of the treasurer of the organization a lot more profitable. Tsunade of course did it to have ready bodies to use the cursed seal on so she could prolong her life. Madara had given her the duty to work on perfecting the extraction process. He simply wanted to make certain that the Jinjuriki would survive the extraction. Saving the 10 tails beast was one of his goals, but he did not want to take the easy way to achieving that goal. No innocent lives sacrificed to achieve their goal of world peace. Hidan of course was not too happy, this meant that he could not sacrifice many lives to his lord. Madara quickly put a stop to his whining and told him that the world would always have crooked, evil, and greedy people in it. He could always sacrifice some of them and no one would miss them one bit.
"The sooner the extraction process is perfected the sooner we can start our noble goals. The sooner we can do this, the sooner that beast will be free from the painful fate that the sage of the six paths subjected her too, and the sooner we can one day have world peace. So if you have free time, perfect that extraction process. I can't wait till I see that precious grandson of mine, I have few things to discuss with him, and I really want to know why he chose to abandon my old dream."
Tsunade was smiling at that part, Naruto had indirectly helped her with her own goal, but he was loyal to Konoha and that fraud that they called hokage. She still believed that she was the only one worthy to be hokage. If Naruto was busy talking with his grandfather he would not be there to defend Konoha, a perfect chance to exact her revenge.
