Hey, hey!

Wowww. Only 11 chapters left! It's a shame this story will still be on going when I post my next story. I don't want to overwhelm you guys.

Anyways, This chapter continues on to Naruto and Sasuke getting educated in politics and ends with something a little sweet for you guys.

Enjoy!

Naruto clicked his tongue against his teeth for the 20th time since this big social event started. He was thankful he was guarding Hinata as a 'mission'. So he got to wear his Konoha ninja attire. Hinata was sitting beside him dolled up in a way he still hasn't gotten used to. She was meeting with the Fire Daimyō and other major noble clans.

She wanted to look her best.

Hinata shined bright in snow white and gold. She took a very traditional look, like on the day they wedded. Face painted white with bright blood red lipstick. Her hair was done similar to that day as well. The same halo and all. Neji mimicking the same look he wore that day as well.

It drove Naruto insane.

Even Hanabi looked nice. She had a jutsu over her caged bird seal so her forehead was empty to the public eye. Hanabi wore a white robe like Hinata, but with no gold trimming and less hair accessories than Hinata. She still had her face painted white and bright red lipstick on as well. Her hair cascading down her back and out her face with two black hair clips.

This was all fine and dandy. Naruto just listening to his wife be a politic. Serving as clan leader and councilwoman. Everything was okay, except for the piece of shit man over in the corner.

The swine that was leading Amegakure to the ground. The man that Hinata was directed to find and dance with and gather intel. Lure him to show her who the real person was in charge of Akatsuki. He was here because his village was being stripped from him and he had to sign all the deeds over to the nobles buying each section from him. All profit going back to the reconstruction of Amegakure of course.

That man looked like a kicked dog. Naruto wished he was more than kicked.

"Relax. Annoyance is written all over your face."

Naruto looked over his shoulder to Itachi before looking back at the man. Itachi was in a nice pair of black robes. His robes held dark red trimming and the Uchiha clan symbol on the back. It was simple, but the material looked nice and heavy.

"I can't help it. Why isn't he locked up with Obito?" Itachi shrugged his shoulders as he followed Naruto's sights. "He was denounced. Publicly ridiculed and having his village taken from him in broad daylight. True he is not locked up like the weak-minded monster he is, but he is being stripped of his manhood and honor for all to see."

Naruto grunted. Still not really satisfied, but he liked the way Itachi worded it. "Okay. That makes me feel a little better."

Itachi smirked at Naruto. "You don't care in the slightest about this man's corrupt criminal record. What he's done to those people in Amegakure. You care about the fact he danced with your wife."

Naruto glared at the man now. Kurama begging to have a slice of his skin. "He kissed her. What would you do if you were me?"

Itachi smiled at the question. It was a chilling smile. "Do I have to really tell you?"

Naruto grumbled. This whole setting was irking his nerves now. "You should have come here dressed to match your wife. You look like you don't want to be here. Like you're a ninja."

Naruto frowned. "I am a ninja."

Itachi hummed at this. "So is your wife, but she arrived dressed for the occasion. You not interacting is making her and Konoha look like Neanderthals. Can Konoha only produce ninja's? Killing machines that can't operate with the rest of society. I get annoyed at these gatherings just as much as the next person, but I suck it up because it benefits my family's name and our village. So, if I have to suck it up. You do too."

Naruto gave Itachi a pointed look. He was right. Naruto was being an ass right now.

Itachi watched as Naruto lifted his head and slightly squared his shoulders so he could play politics with his wife. Naruto walked up behind Hinata and she turned to look at him slightly surprised. Neji was beside her and looked just as intrigued. "Naruto. This is Mr. Bono. He is clan leader and second advisor for Bath Village. His family is infamous for owning parts of the docks and boarders for everyone to conduct foreign trade."

Meaning nothing comes and goes without his family's say.

Naruto immediately connected the dots. This man was important. Don't say or do anything to fuck this up.

Naruto bowed politely to the older gentleman before giving him a charming smile. "I've heard so much about you and what your family has done. It's an honor to meet you."

Naruto has no clue what this man or his family has done, but it sounded convincing.

Mr. Bono had to be in his early 50's or late 40's. He wasn't old-old, but he wasn't their age either. Far from it. "Mr. Uzumaki. What a pleasure to finally meet one of the men that has stolen the heart of such an admirable woman. Such fire she has. Lady Hinata even had the gusto to deny my marriage proposal to be my fourth wife when she was 17."

It took everything in Naruto's soul to keep his composure. This man was old enough to be Hinata's father and he had the AUDACITY to request to court Hinata when she was 17?! Sasuke knew more about this structure and about arrange marriages and Naruto remembered years ago Neji said Hinata was going to be sent to marry some rich old man.

He wasn't lying. Hinata could have ended up with this man.

Naruto replied with a hearty smile. "Yes. Hinata is a smart, independent woman. Perfect all around the boarders. I'm lucky she chose someone like me."

Mr. Bono gave a hearty laugh in return. "Certainly! I had no clue Lady Hinata was so rebellious in her taste in men. However, speaking of boarders."

Naruto was going to choke this man. If he caught him alone he was going to strangle him.

Mr. Bono continued like what he said wasn't insulting. "Lady Hinata. My family owns about 50% of the travel and trade boarders. Along with the docks. The other 50% has been a problem for decades for us to figure out who the ownership belonged to. It's been a bidding war for as long as I can remember. The Fire Daimyō said the land and docks would not be touched until the rightful owner has surfaced. I personally thought the Fire Daimyō was just saying that to pocket the money himself, but he's reached out to me last week and said the Hyuga clan has provided the correct documents to show who owned the land and docks."

Hinata smiled politely at Mr. Bono. It was a very condescending smile. "Yes. You are right. It took some time of shuffling through the Hyuga clan documents of property ownership and who we've been working with for years. However, I found the clan. Something happened so my father stopped using them and had went to you."

Mr. Bono smiled at this. Growing impatient with Hinata avoiding answering his question. "Yes. You have been a loyal customer."

Hinata nodded her head. "Yes. Unfortunately since finding out the clan that owned the docks and boarders is still active. I will go back to using them. So, the Hyuga clan and our businesses and investors will not be using you anymore Mr. Bono. We will be going back to the Uzumaki clan. Since they owned the other 50% and according to my books the Uzumaki clan charged about 20% less than you. That adds up over time as you know. I reached out to everyone the Hyuga clan has investments and ownerships in and they were happy to take up this opportunity."

Neji smiled at Mr. Bono. "20% might not seem like much for some, but to small businesses it could mean the world. Also, for people in our business Mr. Bono. 20% could go into the seven figures range after a year. This would be saving us a lot. Please understand that is the reason we did not renew our contract last month."

Naruto watched as Mr. Bono turned a dark red color. Anger evident on his face, but he was smart not to voice it. "I see. I understand. I should not be surprised. You are a cunning replica of your father Lady Hinata. Down to the very money hungry, wicked T."

Before Naruto and Neji could even react to the out-of-pocket words. Hinata stepped closer to him and her warm smile turned to frost. "Thank you. Have a nice day."

With that Mr. Bono turned about and swiftly left.

Naruto finally smiled a real smile and let out a heavy breath. "What…What in the world? Is that how it is in all these upper-class meetings?"

Neji chuckled at Naruto. "Yes. Get used to it. Especially since you're heavily apart of it now. There was a reason Hinata wanted to introduce you into this world Naruto. There was a reason the Hokage shifted you to be with Hinata for the next few months. The Uzumaki clan had their wealth in foreign trade and traveling. You have a…very ample amount of currency in your family's name. The Fire Daimyō had set it aside in his account until the rightful owner retrieved it. Be lucky you have a noble man like that around. Not a Mr. Bono."

Naruto shook his head and looked so lost. He had no clue about this world. He never associated himself with these people and he was one of them all along. "I have no clue how to run any of this. Finances. Contracts. Jurisdictions. Anything. This isn't me."

Hinata smiled at Naruto and he immediately relaxed around his pregnant wife. That smile she was giving him, was the smile Hinata always gave Naruto when she told him she had faith he could conquer something. "It's alright Naruto-kun. I will help you."

Neji placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Me as well and I'm sure Sasuke could contribute." Naruto nervously nodded his head. Okay. He could do this. Neji smiled at him. "Congratulations Uzumaki. You've reached the seven-figure range over night."

Naruto thought he was going to faint.

Sasuke sat at the dining room table. Naruto sitting across from him and Hinata in the middle as they had tea among one another. Even Naruto had a cup. It was green tea and he rather enjoyed green tea.

Sasuke was going through the finance books Hinata retrieved from the Fire Daimyō in regards to the money made over years from the docks and boarders. Also documents that Hinata recently discovered about Naruto's family owning them. "I'm retiring. There is no need for me to work."

Sasuke was joking, but partially serious. If he wasn't such a competitive fighter, he would really consider it.

"This is ridiculous. You were rich this whole time and if anyone had just done their research or spoken up you would have already had this income, Naruto. How was this so hidden Hinata?" Sasuke looked at Hinata who was silently going through her own finance books with a fine-tooth comb.

"Many people of certain finance stature like to make investments and business moves either anonymous or under an alias name. Considering Hyuga's, Uchiha's and Uzumaki's are constantly targeted for either our eyes or in your case Naruto-kun, your massive chakra. A lot of our families conducted business under an alias. I had to go back about 20 years to find out the original name was Uzumaki instead of the alias name your family used."

Naruto furrowed his brow together. "There has to be other Uzumaki's. I know we all pretty much disbanded years ago and everyone did their own thing." Hinata nodded her head, but kept conducting her business.

After a while Hinata made a sour face. "I…try to understand Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun like how they try very hard to understand me."

Sasuke and Naruto looked at one another before they waited for Hinata to continue. She finally looked away from her books and stared at Naruto.

"Historically. The Uzumaki clan did not originate from Konoha. Like the Uchiha and Hyuga clan." Naruto frowned at this. "So…I'm a foreigner." He looked at Sasuke and saw he looked equally lost at hearing this.

Hinata closed her eyes tightly. "I am not good at talking for long periods. Also, I just found this out maybe a few days ago with Ino's help. So, I will try my best." Naruto reached over and held Hinata's hand. She opened her eyes and saw him smiling at her. "Whatever it is Hinata. I won't blame you. It's history. We already know my past gets pretty dark."

Hinata smiled back and nodded her head. "According to the intel squadron and reaching sources outside of Konoha. The Uzumaki clan came from Uzushiogakure village. I do not know much about the village other than it was primarily home to the Uzumaki clan like Konoha is home to the Uchiha and Hyuga clan. Uzushiogakure was destroyed during war time. Your mother grew up in that war time and many Uzumaki's fled to Konoha because of an alliance shared with the Senju clan. The Senju clan had the honor of producing ninja's that became the first and second Hokage."

Hinata paused for a moment. It was a sad story really. Naruto's background was always sad to think about. "The first Hokage's wife was an Uzumaki. She was also the first host for the nine tails. Umm…sorry Kurama."

"It's fine." Naruto smiled at Hinata, but she's known by now the tone difference. It was Kurama that said it.

"Thank you. Well. Kurama you might not remember all of this. Considering Naruto-kun was the first to really lift your restrictions. However, when the first Hokage's wife grew elderly, a new host for Kurama was needed. Your mother, Kushina was chosen then. When that happened pretty much all inheritance from the first Hokage's wife transferred to your mother. As a thank you for taking the burden on for being the host for Kurama. So, it is your money Naruto-kun. It's all yours."

Naruto leaned back in his chair and looked at the books Sasuke had on his side of the table. "Man. This is a lot."

Hinata nodded her head. "Yes. I understand." Naruto let out a nervous laugh. "I mean. I don't want to screw this up. I want to leave stuff behind for our kids. I want them to have all this fortunate stuff we're being blessed with right now. I'm famous for screwing things up. How the hell am I gonna handle all of this?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto annoyed about his slight tantrum. He understood a little. Itachi ran their family's finances. Sasuke didn't touch it or pay it any attention for that matter. He simply lived off his ninja salary. It was easier that way and Naruto was used to doing that as well. Now he had to adapt to something bigger.

"We'll help you. Stop worrying. I understand some of the stuff I'm looking over and if we get stuck there are people for us to ask for help." Sasuke waited until Naruto looked more comfortable with everything before he looked at Hinata. "So. I heard you were rather vicious out there at the meeting Hinata."

Naruto finally smiled joyfully. "Man. She was a BEAST. Did Itachi tell you about the Mr. Bono story? Him and Neji were cracking up over that for a while."

Sasuke nodded his head. "Yeah. He told me. I'm glad I wasn't there. I wouldn't have handled that rich filthy man's arrogance as well as Naruto. I'm glad he was there with you, even though you didn't need him there."

Naruto shook his head. "No. I think we should attend these meetings more often. I mean, I'm forced kind of now to attend them. Still, I think to support Hinata it would help for us to be there. We'll look stronger. What if Itachi can't make it to all of them? You don't want to miss out on a good opportunity for the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke grinned at Naruto and his eyebrows lifted in amusement. "Talking like 'one of them' already." Naruto sent Sasuke a pointed look, "I wouldn't go that far, but seriously. I think we should both start attending if we can."

Sasuke rolled his eyes at this, "Fine." He looked back at Hinata to focus on what he was talking about. "So. Did you get what you wanted Hinata? After you demolished Mr. Bono. How much did he end up losing with you pulling away from him by the way?"

Hinata hummed as she rubbed her belly. "4.1 million yen a day. My clan has hands in about 80 percent of all the goods and services that Mr. Bono depends on being needed for. His family was granted a high status based on my family's business. Without it he is deemed upper middle again."

Sasuke made a 'Hn' sound as acknowledgement. "Upper middle class? If that. 80 percent? I for see him having to sell what his family owns sooner or later with that loss." He stared at Hinata for a while before the gears in his head started to turn. "Itachi wasn't there to bid for anything in Amegakure. Was he? You wanted him to meet that Bono guy. What do you have planned you little sneak?"

Sasuke had a grin on his face. He's gotten so use to Hinata's 'nice-nasty' ways that he knew all along Hinata had secondary goals and ambitions from this social gathering.

Naruto looked over at Hinata just as interested. "You're so naughty Princess."

Hinata blushed at the attention and continued to rub her tummy. "Everyone won at the meeting. It was a success. Naruto-kun retrieved his rights and inheritance from the Uzumaki clan. Me and Neji were able to retrieve a few business rights and jurisdictions in Amegakure and Itachi will soon own the other 50% boarder and docking rights after Mr. Bono has to liquidate and sell his family's ownership. I recently discovered Mr. Bono liked to frequent brothels and gambles. He was spending his money poorly and was sinking in debt."

This was fair for Hinata to do. Politics and entrepreneurs were ruthless. They happily sent her 'gifts' including bottles of wine or alcohol. When her father passed, Mr. Bono sent her a fifth of liquor wrapped neatly with a bow. They found your weakness and exploited you.

Hinata finally smiled as she envisioned everything she planned. "Itachi has agreed and wanted to buy Mr. Bono's property. For disrespecting his brothers marriage while you were not present. That is what he said. It will work out perfectly. With the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan owning the trade routes. I will split it 50/50 on how we use those route. So it's equal profit going to both clans. That way my business partners are no longer forced to go to the same routes and they get fair deals. Everyone wins."

Naruto slowly shook his head as he looked at Hinata. Just blown away. "You are SO good with this. It's insane. You're a walking business book." Hinata held her blushing cheeks and closed her eyes in embarrassment. "I just want things to be fair, and for our family to be thriving and okay."

Sasuke pushed out a dark chuckle. "You're monopolizing. You know that." Hinata opened her eyes and looked at Sasuke meekly. Sasuke looked at his sneaky wife and couldn't believe how someone that looked so innocent could be so dangerous.

"So say the Uchiha clan and Uzumaki clan own all the trade routes for all over. You're married to both of them. You cannot own or be invested in 80-90% of businesses AND partake in owning trade routes. It would cause a lot of ruckus and other businesses would be suing you for monopolizing the markets. Using your husbands businesses and keeping all the accounts separate, it doesn't incriminate you as conducting monopoly. Considering we have a 'choice' to allow you to do these things and our clans are not 'managed' by you. Hence you working with Itachi. Hence Neji being at the meetings and Naruto actually being involved. Your hands are clean."

Naruto actually laughed at this. "This is rich. Oh man! I can't believe a poor, street punk kid ended up in a whirlwind of politics and corruption. I never imagined my life like this." He looked at Hinata and smirked. "I can't believe you wanted to be a TEACHER. No way with your brain and guts Hinata."

Naruto eyed Hinata a little longer before he tilted his head. His silly demeanor changing over to being serious. "What's wrong?"

Hinata pouted at Naruto finally catching on to her being in discomfort. "I…thought it was my Braxton hicks contractions, but I think…it's not."

Both males immediately took action. Naruto went to go call Tsunade. She was Hinata's midwife and Hinata wanted an at home birth. While Naruto had left, Sasuke went to Hinata and helped her to the bedroom to undress to go to the bathroom.

He helped her into the shower to sit down on the bench and run warm water on her. One of the few times Sasuke was thankful they had a larger home than most.

This shower was perfect for him and Hinata to fit in. So he could help her during labor. The bathroom was a traditional cherry wood color. The walls matching the dark color as well. It was a soothing spa type feel. The shower was big enough for him, Hinata, Naruto and Tsunade. Surrounded by clear glass and water coming from all sides of the closed space, including the top.

Sasuke should have known Hinata wanted nothing but the best when it came to her enjoying the water.

"Granny is on her way."

Sasuke looked up and actually smiled for a moment at Naruto. He wasn't hyper or alarmed during the situation at hand. Making it more stressful or an extra duty for Sasuke to calm him down as well as Hinata.

If Naruto was stressed, he was doing a good job at covering it. "How are you feeling Princess?"

Hinata's head was leaned back on the wall as she closed her eyes to relax under the warm water. "Hmm. They are…strong contractions. They take my breath away. Can you make the water a little warmer?"

Sasuke nodded his head. He had undressed to some water trunks and was completely wet at this moment. The water was coming from everywhere, but he had the pressure set at medium. Steam filled the room as Sasuke turned the heat up.

Naruto opted to wait for Tsunade before he walked in the shower and got soaked. He smiled at Hinata through the glass and watched her face relax slightly from the added heat relaxing her during her intense contractions.

This moment would be engraved in his head forever.

Hinata was holding her belly as another contraction washed over her. She was naked and while she was very much conservative and the thought of Tsunade coming in and seeing her naked panicked her. She was much too uncomfortable to care.

Sasuke sat on the shower floor and rubbed Hinata's swollen feet. Happy that it was pregnancy swollen and not dark chakra-pain swollen. Hinata moaned lightly at the feeling and opened her eyes to look at Sasuke.

He looked up and they stared at one another. Her light grey eyes were bright. Having a lavender mixture that put a calm aura over him. Even in this moment. "Sasuke-kun. You look very handsome."

Sasuke blinked at her. His hair in his face almost blocking his view. She must be very uncomfortable to voice her inner thoughts like this. Naruto chuckled as he heard Hinata. He turned to answer the front door after hearing the knock, but before he left he chimed in. "Yeah. He's pretty fucking hot."

Sasuke shook his head at the two. His cheeks dusted slightly, but he would say it was from the heat of the shower.

Finally Tsunade came in the room and looked at the scene. She smiled at Hinata and looked over at Naruto. "You can go in with her."

Naruto gladly did and Hinata smiled as now both Naruto and Sasuke were by her side. Both men catering to her body. Rubbing both of her feet. Tsunade smiled as she placed her medical bag on the bathroom counter. "How far apart are your contractions Hinata?"

Said person held her stomach again as another contraction hit her. This one stronger than the last. "Ohhhh. Ah. Ah. Ah. About twelve minutes apart m-ma'am. Ohhhh!"

Naruto reached over and held Hinata's hand. She squeezed her eyes tight again and groaned from the long contraction. Tsunade walked up to the glass and looked at Hinata. She nodded her head in encouragement. "You're doing good. Just breathe Hinata. Nice deep breaths. Let the water ease your pain."

Soon the contraction was over with and Hinata relaxed again against the wall. She squeezed Naruto's hand to let him know she was okay. Hinata opened her eyes again and looked at Naruto, who was starting to look concerned. "It's okay. I handle pain good when you and Sasuke-kun are around me."

Naruto let out a wobbly chuckle at hearing her. His hair drenched and blocking almost all his view. Hinata giggled when she watched him move his hair to the back so he could see her better.

Sasuke looked over at Tsunade as he started to rub Hinata's legs. "When can she move to the birthing pool?"

Tsunade hummed as she slightly opened the bathroom door to peak into the bedroom. Their bedroom was more than big enough for the pool and it would be better when transitioning Hinata to the bed afterwards. "Shizune is finished now. We have it heated and ready to go. Can you get up Hinata? Contractions are getting closer. I want to check and see how dilated and thin you are soon. That will determine a lot."

Hinata nodded her head and huffed her puffy red cheeks as she stood up. Sasuke and Naruto right there to help her up. Knowing she was going to be stubborn and try to do it all without asking for help.

The two men guided her to the pool. It was decided Naruto would sit in the pool first and Hinata would sit in between his legs. Sasuke would sit in front of her and cater to her needs until delivery. The three of them got into the pool and Naruto slightly grunted. It was hot to him, but he knew Hinata loved this temperature.

Sasuke watched as Hinata groaned again and how she rocked her head side to side in Naruto's hold. "Another contraction?" Hinata shook her head. "No. I'm just becoming miserable."

It's been over an hour and back-to-back contractions. The worse part now was Hinata knew this wasn't nearing the end.

Tsunade walked up to Hinata and smiled. "Alright. This will be a little uncomfortable, but let me check your cervix." Hinata nodded her head and Sasuke moved to the side as Tsunade got in the water briefly to check Hinata's progress. She took a quick ultrasound wand and scanned it over Hinata's belly before she measured her cervix.

When Tsunade stepped out the pool she had Shizune wrap her in a large robe before she smiled at Hinata. "Good news is, everything is nice and healthy. Heartbeats are nice and strong. The babies are thriving. Not so good news is you're at 5cm dilation. Meaning you have either another hour or several more hours."

Hinata groaned as another contraction hit her.

Tsunade chuckled a little. "You're in active labor that is for sure. You're thinned out and you're mucus plug is almost out. You're giving birth in a few hours Hinata. Just be patient. Endure. You've endured a lot worse. This one will give you two beautiful prizes."

Hinata curled into Naruto's chest as she nodded her head in understanding to Tsunade. The former Hokage stepped out into the living room to give the young couples their privacy.

She came in an hour later to check Hinata and she was 7cm dilated. Another hour and she was 8cm dilated. The third hour Tsunade came in Hinata was still 8cm dilated. When she left the room again Hinata groaned in misery.

She was straddling Naruto's lap at this point and he was rubbing soothing circles on her back as Sasuke kept her hair wet and her forehead damp. Hinata sobbed from being so uncomfortable. Her frustration showing as her purple tails appeared along with her white ears. Her claws racked along Naruto's back as she was getting more and more upset.

"Naruto-kun. Sasuke-kun. Why is it taking so long?"

Both males frowned. Four hours in. They were all pruned up and Hinata was breaking down. She didn't want any pain medication for the birth though. They understood, but jeez. This was mentally taking a toll on all of them, especially Hinata.

Naruto leaned Hinata up and kissed her forehead. She looked at him with big puppy dog eyes and overly dramatic large tears as they pooled out her big eyes. "Hinata. You're killing me. I just want you to be okay. It's gonna be okay. Just a little while longer. Okay?"

Hinata sniffed her red nose and Naruto wiped away her tears. Gosh. Her and Sasuke said they wanted a lot of kids. Naruto would refuse if it meant more births like this. He couldn't take Hinata in this much pain.

Hinata started to sit up again as another contraction hit her. They were five minutes apart now and she wasn't getting any breaks. This time she pulled away from Naruto and got on all fours. Sasuke held her head up so she didn't drown herself in the water as she held her head down groaning.

Naruto and Sasuke saw something red and brownish float on the water and their eyes grew wide. Hinata's tails thrashed in the air and she actually growled. Naruto looked at her completely caught off guard. The water was now a bit discolored and that was when Tsunade came back in. "Sounds like delivery timeeee!"

Sasuke frowned at Tsunade. What the hell was wrong with her and Naruto? They made jokes at the worse fucking time.

"Alrighty Naruto. Remember we planned for Hinata to lean against you. So you could hold her still and lift her if she was having trouble. Now do your part."

Naruto took a deep calming breath before he reached over and maneuvered Hinata back to their original position. Him leaning his back against the pool and Hinata in between his legs. Her back against his chest. Just as Tsunade expected. Dark veins started to travel Hinata's body and she was slightly resisting Naruto's hold.

"Alright Kurama. Do your thing. Show some dominance to this dark chakra."

Tsunade got in the water and watched as Naruto-Kurama closed their eyes and encased Hinata and Sasuke in red chakra. "Relax Hinata. Do it for me and Sasuke. Please." Sasuke looked at Hinata and turned her head to look at him. "I know it hurts. I know you're hurting. You're almost there. You will soon rest. Like always. Me and Naruto aren't going anywhere. We'll be right here."

Hinata whimpered as her body relaxed and Kurama's chakra pushed back her dark chakra. Tsunade smiled at this. "You know. All those years ago. I was wrong. I'm glad you three kept relying on one another."

Naruto looked at Tsunade and the two smiled at one another before Tsunade leaned over and check Hinata's cervix. Hinata grunted in pain and Tsunade whistled. "Aww she's ready. Your mucus plug came out. That is that brownish bloody thing that was floating about. Shizune just removed it, and your water has broken. Hinata darling. I feel the first baby's head right here. It's time to push."

Tsunade looked at Naruto as she gave orders. "You hold her thighs some Naruto. Lift them a little and it will help her push." She then looked at Sasuke. "You hold your hands right under mine in the water. I'm going to guide you to pull out the first one. So be gentle."

Sasuke lost his breath for a moment. That was NOT part of the plan. Still he numbly nodded his head and did what Tsunade told him to do.

Tsunade looked at Hinata and grinned. "Alright. Give me a push Hinata. Push. Push. Push. Push. Push. Pushhhhhhhh and breathe." Hinata let out a painful whimper at the end and more tears fell down her face. Sasuke looked at her and immediately felt horrible with how miserable Hinata looked.

"Don't look at her. Look at your hands. Look at the progression Sasuke." Tsunade nudged him slightly to get his attention. "Alright Hinata. Again. Push. Push. Push. There is the head! Now breathe."

Sasuke's eyes widened like saucers as he started to see the baby's head crown. Holy Shit. This was it.

Tsunade looked up at Hinata and saw she stopped crying and was just now over all exhausted. "Okay Hinata. Look at me. I need you to give me a big push okay." Said person shook her head no.

Naruto was holding Hinata's thighs and was actually getting a workout from the pushback she was giving him. If he wasn't holding her, she'd surely would struggle a little more with this delivery. Naruto leaned over and nipped Hinata's shoulder with his fangs. More of Kurama's features started appearing on him. "Stop that. I'm here with you. Sasuke is here with you. You're not alone anymore Hinata. I've got you. Now and forever."

Hinata whimpered at his words and looked at Tsunade with new determination. "O-Okay. I'm ready."

Tsunade smiled at Naruto and Hinata and nodded her head. "Okay. Now. PUSH. PUSH. PUSH. THERE HE IS!" She gently pulled along the jaw and sure enough the rest of the tiny baby's body slid out onto Tsunade's hand that she guided into Sasuke's. "Alright. Lift him up."

Sasuke listened to Tsunade and lightly shook as he held their blonde-haired baby. Tsunade reached over and sucked out fluids from the tiny bundle. Sasuke watched as their baby boy grew agitated from this, and the little bundle started to cry.

Sasuke immediately shushed him and laid him on his bare chest. "It's okay." Tsunade placed some cream around his eyes and gave Sasuke a pair of medical scissors. "Okay. Last thing connecting Hinata to him. She wanted you to do the honors."

Sasuke looked at Hinata confused. This was clearly her and Naruto's child. Both Naruto and Hinata smiled at Sasuke and their faces showed their minds were made up. Sasuke had a wet smile on his face as he took the scissors and clipped the umbilical cord.

Tsunade smiled as she looked back to Hinata. "Alright. Are you ready for the last one? I know you can do it Hinata."

Hinata smiled at Tsunade and nodded her head. Naruto kissed Hinata's shoulder and whispered how proud he was of her as she pushed again. Hinata pushed three more reps before Tsunade had Hinata help pull out her second born bundle of joy. "You are indeed one strong woman Hinata. Congratulations. You are done giving birth to two very healthy baby boys."

Tsunade gave Naruto the scissors and let him cut the umbilical cord as she proceeded to clean the second born the same way as the first.

Soon the additional work of delivering the placenta was done. Soon the three navigated from the pool to their bed, and they could finally take in the moment. Alone. In their home. With their newborn sons.

Naruto watched as Hinata fumbled a little to get their firstborn son to latch on. Their second was more eager and wasted no time. "Taifū. I like that name Hinata. You picked a good name. A good mixture of me and you."

Sasuke smiled as Hinata finally got Taifū to latch properly and she began to relax with both babies. "Yes. Also, Taika. Well thought out. It reminds me of you." Hinata looked up at Sasuke and giggled. "You Sasuke-kun."

Naruto laughed at them. "Both of you. You both are like an inferno when you get upset with one another. Everything you two touch turns to fire when you both get upset. Perfect name for this kid. A good representation of his parents."

Sasuke leaned back in the bed and rubbed Taifū's soft hair. He looked just like Naruto. Whisker marks and all, but then he'd open his eyes and there it was. Hinata's eyes. Taifū was going to have the Byakugan. "Taifū. The wind and water together is rather deadly. Perfect combination for you and Hinata as well. He'll be the first blonde-haired Hyuga."

Naruto was closer to Taika. He mimicked Sasuke and softly played with Taika's hair. Their son was pale like Hinata. With pitch black hair like Sasuke. When Taika opened his eyes, as he fed off Hinata, he had multicolored eyes. One like Hinata's and one pitch black like Sasuke's.

This was going to be interesting.

"He's already a unique kid. Both of them are so adorable. You did amazing Hinata." Naruto smiled at Hinata and kissed her cheek. "Man. Five hours of labor and delivery. You want to do this again?"

Hinata smiled as she looked down at her sons. Her beautiful little boys. "I would. I would love to."

End of chapter

Our trio is now parents! So, Taifū means 'Typhoon'. I was thinking water and strong winds. It would fit perfectly for a Naruhina duo combination. Taika means multiple things depending on how you put it. However, in this story it means 'Big fire'. Sasuke all the way, but Hinata if she is pushed to her limits. So the SasuHina combo.

I made Naruto rich. The Uzumaki clan rich. I like to write about finances and I've watched way too much Wolf of Wall Street and read too much into Stock Market Black Tuesday. I like writing about the elite what can I say.

Now, if you are a devoted reader of mines. You know I'll give you 2-3 nice chapters before it goes down hill again. So, next chapter. Angst all the way. You have been warned.

See you Wednesday!
