Chapter 72 Peace and Storm
Naruto did not want to move, he did not want to open his eyes and didn't want to even think about what was waiting for them back in the village, for the next week there was no other problems outside of their small little world. There was no work, no war, there was no risk of invasion, and there were not even the normal everyday problems like laundry. It was just the four of them enjoying time together before they had to go back to their normal lives.
Flashback
"So are we sure we want to do this now?" inquired Sakura as all four of them gathered around the kitchen table late one evening. The kids where all asleep and all the chores where done but they all had an important diciencition to make.
"No." admitted Naruto as the three women looked at him "It just doesn't feel totally right to me to do it during a war."
"This war may drag on for years," countered Ino as Naruto nodded his head in agreement.
"I know but still…" started Naruto
"Naruto-kun we all know you have a strong sense of honor and duty but it is time to put yourself and this family in front of those for this small amount of time," advised Hinata "Besides we aren't going far so if something really bad happens we can come back. Also Tsunade is now in the village."
Flashback
Naruto sat behind his desk in the Onikage building in the center of Shimagakure, his focus was on the small mountain of paperwork which had built up during his time in the field. On top of the normal readiness reports there were the reports about the war on the sea being waged by the ships of the Green Sea Dragon fleet. After the attack on the village hidden in the Mist those ships had been sent out to do raiding attacks on shipping and even a few coastal attacks. A knock at the door was not unexpected.
"Enter." said Naruto without looking up from his paperwork, he heard footsteps walking toward him but said anything.
"So the shoe is on the other foot now Naruto." said a voice which caused Naruto to blink before lifting his head to see Tsunade standing in front of him, dressed in a worn traveling cloak with a bag over her shoulder.
"Lady Tsunade?" said Naruto with a smile "What brings you down here?"
"Well the Leaf isn't the village it was supposed to be and I am looking for a place to retire." explained Tsunade "Maybe help out at the hospital but mostly just enjoy my time."
"Well you have come to the right place," said Naruto with a wide smile.
"And I have heard you are engaged to Sakura, Ino and Hinata and have three kids with them." inquired Tsunade as Naruto smiled before nodding his head. "Three women at once Jiraiya would be proud of you for that."
"Only for that?" laughed Naruto
"Well we would all be proud of you becoming a Kage but I thought that would be kind of unspoken." Said Tsunade as she messed with Naruto a bit, the tables were turned she was the ninja and he was the kage.
"Well either way welcome to our village, old lady." said Naruto with a smile.

"Alright." confirmed Naruto "So where do we want to have the ceremony."
"Better question is where to have the honeymoon." corrected Ino with a smirk.
End Flashback
"What is normal anymore?" thought Naruto as he wondered what would be considered normal now. Normally having multiple wives was unheard of but it was common for demons and since last night, there was now three Mrs. Namikazes.
Flashback
Since this was going to be a wedding of the Daimyo to the wedding itself would take place in the government building in Shimagakure with the repetition taking place both inside the building and the streets of Shimagakure and Nadeji. A massive street festival was planned to mark the event and special guests had been invited from the land of Animals, Meteors, Bronze, Savannah and the only nation north of the land of Wind not to go to war against them the Land of Demons.
The columns, which held up the dome of the roof, had ribbons hanging from them as well as wrapping around them. Three red carpets had been lied out so from above it looked like a T with chairs set up in the open areas to for the guests. There was a live string group beside the center area where the actual ceremony would take place. Standing over it all was the statue of the first Onikage in this case, it happened to be the man being married in the room. In the future, more statues of Onikages would be added but for the moment, the bronze 8 ft. tall statue stood alone.
The real Naruto stood in the center of the room with people seated both behind him and infront of him, He had elected not to wear his official robes since it would have gotten in the way while dancing. Instead, he wore traditional black robes with his clan seal on it, the black had highlights of orange around the edges and his sword was hanging from his hip.
His nerves where getting to him as he stood alone and the music started playing, they had no grooms men or bridesmaids since their was only one groom and three brides. The only other person standing with him was a former priestess from the Land of Demons who had actually become a demon herself and now led a small order in the Land of Granite. True the head of the Land of Demons and one of Naruto's old friends Priestess Shion was in attendance but it felt right to have a demon priest do the ceremony.
The music started as Naruto turned his gaze toward the red carpet to his right, there coming down the walkway carrying little Minato was Sakura's mother. Minato was sleeping in the arms of his grandmother before moving to take her seat; moments after she reached her seat Sakura's father along with Sakura came out. Naruto looked past his future father-in-law toward Sakura. She wore a beautiful red silk kimono, the edges where highlighted in the same shade of pink as her hair. A Pink slash was around her waist and the red silk was inlaid with pink flowers. Sakura smiled as she carried a group of her favorite flowers lilies. Around her neck was the tight golden necklace with her Aquamarine birthstone that Naruto had given her before he became Onikage. Naruto moved forward and took Sakura's arm from her father and led her to the center.
Moments later the music began playing again as Naruto and Sakura turned to see Ino's mother carrying their daughter forward in the same way Sakura's mother had carried Minato. Then came Ino with Shikamaru taking the spot of her late father. Ino wore a kimono almost identical to Sakura's only the colors where different, Ino's was a deep rich purple with a light purple highlights. Like Sakura she wore the necklace she had gotten years earlier, her's was silver with a blue sapphire birthstone in the center. Both Naruto and Sakura moved out and took Ino's hand and took her from Shikamaru. She carried a a group of red roses which had been taken from her clans own plant.
That left only one person, the music started again as all three of them turned to the last red carpet where Lady Tsunade came up carrying the last of the three children and took her place in the seats. Then taking the place of Hinata's father who was currently waging war against them was Neji. Like Sakura and Ino she wore a kimono only her's was white with highlights in a rich silvery blue. A new necklace of white gold with a center blue Zirocon birthstone. In her hands she carried her favorite flowers, sunflowers. Hinata smiled as Naruto, Sakura and Ino each took her and led her toward the center where the priestess was.
"Alright then, let's get started." Said the Priestess as she looked down at her book and began to reading aloud.
End Flashback
The ceremony was a little complex because of all the brides but in the end there was now three Mrs. Namikaze. Naruto slowly stood up and moved off the giant bed, his bare feet coming to rest on the wooden planks of the private beach house. Naruto moved toward the balcony which had a built in staircase which led down to a small dock so that a whoever was staying here could go straight from the water to the bedroom without having to go into the rest of the house. There was also a spot for sunbathing and other places to rest.
Flashback
The music was playing as the seats in the rotunda had been taken away to make a dance floor, the massive conference room to the right of the rotunda had been turned into the dining area. Even so, most of the action was taking place on the dance floor. The first dance was between Naruto and Sakura with Ino and Hinata dancing together. This was because Sakura is first mate followed by Ino and Hinata.
Naruto smiled as Sakura placed her head on his chest as they moved around the floor. Outside they could hear the sound of fireworks going off over the village as the entire village celebrate the wedding. As the music died and the dance came to an end Naruto kissed Sakura.
"See you soon." said Sakura with a smile as Ino moved in to take her spot, while she took Ino's spot with Hinata. Then a new dance happened and when Naruto pulled Ino up from the dip in she whispered something in his ear, which caused him to stop dancing and blood to rush to his face. She grinned as she pulled away to leave him for Hinata.
"Something wrong Naruto-kun?" inquired Hinata as they started dancing, during the dance Naruto whispered what Ino had said into Hinata's ear. To his surprise Hinata grinned before whispering something that made Naruto blush even more, then as she pulled away she did a play bite on Naruto's ear.
"So let me guess you're in for an interesting night?" inquired Kakashi as he walked up to his student who was looking at the three Mrs. Namikazes who were gathered together.
"More interesting than I thought." admitted Naruto before smiling.
End flashback
He turned his gaze around to see Ino, Sakura and Hinata asleep on the bed each in a different state of undress lying on the truly massive bed.
Flashback
It was after midnight when the four of them left the party and headed toward the private house located in the small-hidden bay which was only a few miles away from the city. There was a small collection of houses which could be ranked out for vacations and honeymoons. When they arrived Naruto was quickly forced into the bedroom by his wives.
He sat on the bed and waited he knew that he should prepare the surprise for them but the bottles of massage oil, they had a week so he could use it another night. He stood up and moved to the bottle of wine which had been left there as a gift from the staff. He opened it and poured a glass for himself and the others. He lifted the glass up to his lips and prepared to drink when the door opened and the three of them entered. Naruto's eyes widened as his wine glass dropped to the floor, luckily it did not break instead it only spilled the red liquid on the carpet.
"Like what you see Naruto-kun?" asked Sakura as she strutted into the room, she wore a tight red lace top with golden rings in the front for fast unlocking by whoever got to undo it. Falling from the bottom of the bra was clear sea through red silk, which went down past the panty set.
"Of course he does Sakura-chan." Said Ino as she stepped forward, she wore a deep purple corset which forced her breasts up and was attached to her bottom panty set by straps. In between her breasts and at the front of her womanhood was a bow in a lighter shade of purple.
"He loves all three of us." Said Hinata as she moved forward, she wore a white bra which contained her massive breast, above her panties was another strip of lace which attached to the fishnet stockings which ran down her legs.
"Of course we do." Said multiple voices as the three girls turned to see two more Naruto's standing there. The Naruto's had changed out of the normal cloths they all wore different colored boxers either black, orange or red.
"So we are doing clones?" inquired Hinata as the sliding down behind Naruto opened up to show copies of Hinata, Sakura and Ino. Each of them where dressed in matching lingerie apart from colors to the kind worn by the originals, Sakura's clone was in Ino's lingeria, Ino's was in Hinata's lingerie and Hinata's was in Sakura's lingerie.
"This is going to be very fun," said Ino as they split up, in truth none of them knew who was a clone and who was the real one that would be a process they would figure out during the fun full night.
End Flashback
Over the course of the night, the clones fell away until only the four real people remained. They fell asleep together on the bed. Naruto tried not to laugh as he noticed that some of them had switched some pieces of the clothing. He moved out of the bedroom only to notice a small file on the private kitchen table.
"I hate work," cursed Naruto as he opened the file and looked at the daily report on the state of the war. Even on his honeymoon, he could not escape the war, even though the war had been dragging on for almost four months nothing had changed. All the reports said the ninja nations where gathering forces and preparing to move south but they had been sitting outside of Celin in the land of wind for three months and showed no sign of moving. The attack on Kirigakure had thrown everything upside down. The once great ninja nation with a long history of civil war had fallen back into its old habit and civil war now gripped the nation. Add to the fact that the demons had claimed three great victories in as many battles had forces some of the smaller ninja nations to reconsider the wisdom of going to war.
"Morning Mr. Namikaze." said Hinata as she came out of the bedroom wearing only a tight pair of shorts and a light blue blouse.
"Morning Hinata Namikaze." said Naruto as he kissed her.
"What nothing for me?" inquired Ino as she walked out of the bedroom; she was wearing shorts as well but with only a sports bra on. She was moving her hands around as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail using a purple band to hold it in place.
"Morning Ino Namikaze." said Naruto as he kissed her followed moments later by Hinata.
"What is for breakfast?" inquired Ino
"Whatever we order." added Sakura as she walked out rubbing sleep from her eyes as she wore black sleeping pants and a red top. "There is a kitchen staff which will bring you whatever you want within reason."
"So what do we want to do after we eat? Sakura Namikaze" inquired Hinata as she kissed Sakura.
"Well since this is our honeymoon and we are on a beach side house with its own dock I was thinking either some sun bathing or a swim and followed by some sex." Offered Ino
"Sounds like a plan to me?" said Naruto as he wondered what sort of swimsuits the three of them had packed with them or if they had brought any at all, it was a private beach house. All three of them nodded this heads but before they could do much of anything their was a knock at the door.
"Must be a surprise breakfast from the staff, like the wine last night." offered Ino as Naruto moved to the door. When he opened the door he did not find a staff member there instead he found Sasuke Uchiha standing there with two swords hanging from his belt and dressed for combat.
"Sasuke you better have a good reason for being here?" inquired Sakura
"I do." confirmed Sasuke as he looked at Naruto.
"What happened?" inquired Naruto fearing the answer
"Leaf forces managed to land forces behind our lines near the village of Buin." stated Sasuke
"Damn it." cursed Ino "We had this who week planned, why now?"
"Buin isn't that a farming village on the coastal road?" inquired Hinata as she looked toward Ino.
"It is." confirmed Ino "But it is all cliffs there; there shouldn't be a place for them to land."
"They did, early reports are they used robes to climb up during the night. Our forces are gathering to force them back into the sea." Explained Sasuke "Your honeymoon is over before it really begins the war is back on, we need to go or else we will have to meet them at our walls."
"God Damn it." Cursed Hinata "Why now?"
"Ask your sister she is leading the assault," reported Sasuke
