2 weeks later
Sasuke's tiny bump had started to look much bigger than normal. He was 2 1/2 months pregnant but he looked 4 months. So he stopped going outside because he didn't wan't people to think he was fat. Sasuke sent Naruto out to get him some chocolate and cucumber's, so he was alone in the apartment looking at himself in the mirror. He felt horrible and happy at the same time, happy for the children and horrible for how he looked. He was also having mood swings like crazy, one minute he was happy and the next he was throwing pans at Naruto for spilling milk.
He hadn't started crying yet which was a good thing, at least to him. He had an appointment with Tsunade today, which is why he sent out Naruto to get him something to eat then he and Naruto would go see Tsunade.
" I'M Back Dattebayo! How are my little babies?!" Naruto ran to Sasuke and hugged his stomach, nuzzling the bump and putting light kisses on it.
" Stop it, idiot" But Sasuke didn't stop him, instead he smiled and rubbed Naruto's head.
" Now how is my cute darling" Naruto stood up strait, and kissed Sasuke.
" Im fine, but I'm pretty hungry so let me make lunch"
" Alright!" Naruto didn't mind because he would watch Sasuke when he was cooking while sitting at the table. Sasuke would sway his hips with his cooking, showing Naruto his perky ass. But, Sasuke refused to have sex with Naruto because he thought he looked fat. Though Naruto thought he looked beautiful, after all he was carrying their children.
" Ok here's the food" Sasuke placed a plate of cooked cucumber's and melted chocolate on top. It was the only thing Naruto felt queasy about, He loved Sasuke's cooking but he's been eating cucumber's for the last two weeks. He was pretty sure, his poop smelled like burnt grass. They finished eating about 10 minutes later and both dressed. Sasuke of course wore a sweater which Naruto bought for him even though it was like a 100 degrees outside. They rushed toward Tsuande's office, not needing anybody to see them.
They finally made it to her office, with her just looking at them with a weird expression.
" Um Tsunade, aren't you supposed to examine me"
" huh, oh yeah right, Just surprised at how big you are. Anyway let's go" They walked to Tsunade's private room and Sasuke did exactly what he did the last time he was in the room. Tsunade checked Sasuke's body raising her eyebrows several times. She even checked his chest which Naruto found hilarious.
" Ok well your in good condition, though Sasuke how do your nipples feel?"
" W-what, M-my N-Nipples" Sasuke sputtered at Tsuande's question.
" Yes how do they feel?"
" Um well, they feel a bit sensitive. and for some reason they always feel hard" Sasuke blushed, feeling embarrassed from talking about his nipple. Tsunade narrowed her eye's and started examining Sasuke's nipples. She slightly touched now of them with her nail and Sasuke let out a small moan. Let's just say, Naruto had reason to cover himself.
" Well, for some reason even though your not a woman, your having the same symptoms a pregnant woman would get. But they got it because it's supposed to help them breast feed to their newborn. But you don't have breast's, and males don't have the substance which makes the milk. Wait let me see if there's anything there with my equipment." Tsuande turned on the moniter and put gel on Sasuke's chest, Sasuke shivered. She rolled the equipment on Sasuke's chest and almost tripped over herself.
" What is it Tsunade!?"
" Well, you know how I said it was amazing how you got pregnant, now I'm even more amazed that your creating milk within your body! I can see that your chest is making room for the milk, milk! That shouldn't even be possible..wait" Tsunade then noticed that the same chakra that was holding the children, was creating the room for the milk. Her brows furrowed, questions ran through her mind. It was enough Sasuke got pregnant because of kyubi's chakra, but to actually make milk? It was like... like the chakra was purposely trying to make Sasuke pregnant. But, why? Why would-
" Bachaan! Hey bachaan! You've been out of it for a while!"
" Huh, oh yeah, Sorry I was just... Never mind. Anyway, You are healthy Sasuke. Though you are a little bit bigger even for having twins. But that could be because of the children's gender."
" Gender? What's the difference?"
" Well, there can be instances that where having a girl get's you really big or maybe the boy too. See, it also depends on the person to, many factors have to come into consideration. But no worries, this is normal so don't be worried. But I might have to pull you out of the village faster, by 4 months you'd look like 6 months or even bigger depending. Anyway i'll inform you on the next appointment, so you can go now" They left feeling both happy and confused, but their happiness wouldn't last for long. Fate intervenes, a test of courage and will.
That Night
Sasuke woke up in the middle of the night, feeling somewhat contemplative. He walked to the balcony, holding onto the rail. He shivered, then something was heard, but he just thought it was his imagination. A curse was heard, pain hit him and along with that Darkness.
3 hours later
Naruto awoke in cold sweat, heaving as if had been running a mile.
" Sasuke" Naruto turned to wake up his lover only to find emptiness. He tried calming down thinking Sasuke was in the restroom, he walked to it and knocked on the bathroom door. Only an eerie silence answered Naruto. Naruto opened the door, seeing no Sasuke, Naruto started to panic. Naruto searched throughout the entire apartment, he didn't find him. Naruto put his Ninja sandals and rushed out of the apartment. He made a hundred clones to look throughout the entire village, none of the clones found him. The original rushed to the hokage's tower, crashing into the window. Ultimately, waking a snoozing Tsuande up.
" Huh, what the! Naruto what the hell are you-"
" Bachaan! Sasuke... I can't find Sasuke! He's not in the village Baachan!" Naruto started to heave again, Tsunade got on her feet once she heard what Naruto said.
" Calm down Naruto, just calm down... Tch" The day where most of her jounin and anbu where gone, and Uchiha had to go freaking missing. Shit she had to think, she had to think quick. Damn, they were her only options.
" Shizune! Go get me Nara Shikamaru! NOW!" Shizune who had also been dozing off, woke in a flurry, following Tsunade's order's. Now she had to make Naruto wake from his panic. She grabbed his shoulder's, and started to shake him.
" Naruto! A hold of yourself! If you really care about Sasuke, then step out of it! You need to find Sasuke! Stop being a damn crybaby! And Look for the mother of your children!" It may have been a bit harsh, but it was exactly what Naruto needed. Naruto awoke from his panic and determination shone through his eye's. The door's slammed opened revealing a sleepy looking shikamaru and panicy Shizune.
" Tsunade-sama, I brought him as fast as I could!"
" What the hell's happening? and why is Naruto in his underwear?" Naruto looked down to see, he was indeed in his underwear.
" Nara Shikamaru! That information is irrelevant! I am assigning you an A-rank mission! Which will include 4 other's including Naruto! This will be your first mission as a chunin!" Shikamaru stood up straiter at the sound of Tsunade's voice, knowing she was serious.
" Hai, but what is exactly the mission?"
" Uchiha Sasuke went missing some hours ago, you need to gather a team and you need to find him immediately! And bring him back! NOW GO!" Naruto and Shikamaru rushed out of the room.
" Shikamaru Im going to put some clothes on, I'll meet you in front of the gates" Naruto ran towards the apartment, eye's flickering red. Shikamaru rushed to ninja's he would get, feeling nervous for the burden that was placed on him. Naruto arrived before anyone else, feeling edgy and deep feeling in the pit of his stomach formed. The other's arrived, with faces of shock and seriousness.
" Naruto! You made it here before all of us! Don't worry well get Sasuke back and kick those guy's asses!" Kiba seemed excited for the prospect of fighting high level ninja. Though it did make Naruto smile just a bit, but the redness from his eyes stayed.
" We can't be talking all day, Shikamaru have you came up with some strategy and plan. From what I heard about the enemies, there's a strong possibility that there gonna ambush us." Neji seemed like the most serious, though only cause he was always that way.
" For a start, as this is a rescue operation, In other words the enemy can easily gain the initiative. Therefore I will decide on a deployment formation that will respond quickly to any assault by the enemy. If you ignore me and move of your own accord we will all die. We will go in a single file formation. First of all the all-important spearhead will be.. Kiba that's you! You and Akamaru go on walks year round and since your nose is very sensitive you can distinguish booby traps that carry the enemy's scent which makes them easy to find... and second in line will be me the squad leader. I can give orders as required in any situation from my position directly behind kiba. And in the middle... in the number three position is Naruto. The middle position is best for you since you're capable of executing quick moves and are able to respond immediately to anything in front or behind. you're the cornerstone.. and you have shadow clone too. And fourth in line is choji. you don't have speed but your ability to strike is the best among the squad members. Line leader Kiba, I, and Naruto will launch a surprise attack. in other words you role is to attack the routed enemy. And then on the tail end will be you Neji.. You are assigned to the most difficult position of rear lookout. You will use your Byakugan to constantly check that there are no loopholes in the ranks. Got it? Take a careful look at this." Shikamaru took out a scroll and started to write something on it. They were able to see the exact position they will be in. Shikamru started to check all the weapons they were carrying to memorize their fighting structure.
" Last thing, Sasuke and I aren't close friends. In fact I don't particularly like him. However, he is also a shinobi belonging to the village hidden in the leaves. He is a comrade! Therefore I will put my life in the line to help him! That's the way of the leaf! In this case even I can't just sit back and be a sluggard. Because I am responsible for all your lives" At that moment, Naruto stopped seeing Shikamaru as a lazy guy but that of a trustworthy friend. Everyone's spirit increased, and their will to fight shone.
" Alright let's g-!'
" Wait!" A very distressed Sakura stood behind the team.
" Sakura?!"
" I'm sorry but I can't take you on this mission. Tsunade told me only a five man squad, I don't need to carry more lives over my head." Sakura cried tears of despair.
" Naruto.. This is a.. once in a lifetime request.. Please bring.. please bring Sasuke-kun back... please!" She could say no more.
" Sakura-chan, I plan on bringing Sasuke back. and once I do, we'll all eat some ramen" Naruto smiled gently at her and she giggled in-between her crying. It was somewhat Like a truth between the two of them.
" Alright let's go!"
" We've lost a little time.. let's hurry!" And they went, none foretelling what would happen.
With Sasuke
Sasuke awoke feeling dizzy, opening his eye's slowly. His eye's widened at what he saw. 3 men and a woman were circled around him.
" Hmph, he finally woke up."
" Can we even call him a he, I mean look at him"
" It doesn't matter we just have to get him to Ochimaru-sama!" They all smiled at him evilly, for they knew what they were supposed to do with him before he got Ochimaru. Sasuke closed his eye's, hoping his lover would find them in time. But, One of the guy's pulled out a bottle of pills, poping it open.
" Sasuke-sama, this is for the cursed seal, we will make sure you don't die" The guy forcibly opened Sasuke's mouth which made Sasuke accidentally swallow the pill. Pain hit him which went strait to his stomach, Sasuke feared for his children and their lives. But before he could even open his eye's, he was put in a sealing barrel.
" Alright were done for now"
With Naruto
" Shikamaru"
" What wrong?"
" There's a smell of blood nearby. The smell of the other two impinged on the five others including Sasuke...But the five are moving away from the smell of the blood! What should we do?"
" Tch."
" Let's hurry up and catch up to Sasuke!"
" Shut up Naruto! That's for shikamaru to decide! Don't play the boss!"
" Shikamaru?" Poor choji, had to ask.
" The fact that there was the smell of blood probably means that a battle occurred somewhere. If we go to that location we should be able to gather some information.. we must be attentive as we near the spot. So we would have to switch over to a reconnaissance pattern and approach walking slowly..."
" While all that's going on Sasuke will be crossed over the border of the land of fire."
" Shikamaru! what are we going to do!?"
"... Alright let's pursue Sasuke!"
" Alright! That's what I was waiting for!" Naruto's eye's flashed red.
" However... the fact that there was a battle means they'll have their guard up. There will probably be traps and maybe an ambush."
" Alright! Im going to use my justu to clobber them!"
" Hey! The enemy's smell is everywhere!"
" Everybody Stop!" They all stopped on a single branch.
" Everybody take a look above you." paper bombs were placed on the trees. Making it a barrier. They had no other choice than to take a detour. But instead they just went through, noticing the few flaws with the barrier. Neji used his justu and saw the sound four, they readied themselves for a fight. They moved closer to get a better eye on them. Shikamaru and Neji were in the front but couldn't see where Sasuke was.
" He's in that barrel, but I can't see through it since it's secured with barriers. I wouldn't think that the guys who wanted Sasuke would kill him that easily."
" You might be right about that." A kunia was thrown to them, carrying 3 paper bombs. the boys were flown away by the force of the explosion.
A heavy start to an inevitable battle.
