Loving A Loser Is Hard Chapter 10

*o0o*

Hinata fled, running as fast as she could. Idiot! she scolded herself. He's with his ex wife... but why were they kissing? Did I actually believe Naruto never hooked up with his ex wife before? Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of the scene she had just witnessed.

Before she could take another step, she looked up and found herself staring into familiar bright blue eyes. How... how did he catch up so quickly? she thought, her heart pounding.

"Hey, Hinata," Naruto greeted, his voice filled with warmth. "You came to visit me, right?"Hinata nodded, too flustered to speak.

"Don't run so fast," Naruto laughed. "What, did you forget to turn the stove off at home? Come on, let's go." He reached for her hand, his touch gentle. "Is it okay if I hold your hand?"

Hinata nodded again, her heart racing for an entirely different reason now. Naruto smiled, holding her hand as he led them back to the Uchiha residence.

As they stepped into the Uchiha residence, Naruto noticed Hinata's slightly frazzled expression and turned to her with concern. "Hey, Hinata, is everything okay? he asked, his eyes searching her face for any signs of distress.

Sakura, who had followed them inside, added, "Yeah, did something happen?"

Hinata forced a smile, trying to steady her voice, even though her heart was racing. The image of Naruto kissing Hiyama flashed in her mind. She had seen it happen, and the casual way Naruto brushed it off only made it worse. "Yes, I thought I left the oven on," she lied, knowing it was easier than admitting the truth.That she had walked away because she felt like she was intruding on something she shouldn't have seen. "But you're right, everything's good."

Naruto grinned, relieved. "See? No need to worry. Next time, just use the phone, silly call home to have maybe your sister or father check," he teased gently. "Now, come on, take a seat."

Princess Hiyama, blushing terribly as she tried to fix her hair, stood up and walked over to Hinata, her eyes scanning her curiously. "I'm Hiyama," she introduced herself. "And you are...?"

Hinata froze, her mind racing with possible responses. What should I say? she wondered frantically. Hi, I'm Naruto's third baby mama? Or maybe, I'm his girlfriend who spent one night with him, and now I'm pregnant, but he just wants to be friends? She inwardly cringed. Or how about, I'm his ex-girlfriend who hooked up with a psycho teammate, and Naruto had to save me... and guess what, I'm pregnant?

Before Hinata could find the right words, Naruto spoke up, cutting through the tension. "This is Hinata, my ex-girlfriend and now best friend, who's currently carrying my child."

Naruto, with a stern voice, pulled the red-haired woman into a headlock, gently messing up her hair with his fist. "Hiyama, I've told you before kissing isn't necessary as a greeting," he said with a sigh, trying to downplay the situation. Maybe I misunderstood the situation, but with her arms around him, kissing him, I can only hope Naruto's casual words were genuine.Princess Hiyama, blushing terribly as she tried to fix her hair, stood up and walked over to Hinata, her eyes scanning her curiously. "I'm Hiyama," she introduced herself. "And you are...?"

Hiyama raised an eyebrow but then smiled warmly. "Hi, Hinata. I'm Princess Hiyama, Naruto's ex-wife. What a pleasure to meet you. I'm also Miyako's mother."

"Hey, food's ready!" Sakura called out, bringing the dishes to the table.

Hinata sat down, feeling a bit uneasy about the situation as she watched Hiyama sit closer to Naruto, making sure she was as close to him as possible. At least Naruto seemed uninterested in her advances, which gave Hinata some relief.

Sakura came to the dining table carrying dishes. As she served everyone, Hinata couldn't help but notice the food. This doesn't look great, she thought, eyeing the slightly overcooked rice and the fried chicken with its charred spots.

To her surprise, Sasuke ate everything without a word, seemingly unbothered by the less-than-perfect meal.

Naruto, however, couldn't resist teasing. "Well, Sakura, it looks like you still need to work on your kitchen skills. Now, Hinata she's an awesome cook."Before he could say more, Sakura smacked him on the head. "What did you just say, you jerk?"Miyako burst into laughter. "Daddy has a bump on his head, Mommy!" she exclaimed, giggling and pointing at Naruto.

Naruto, now sporting a huge lump on his head, was moaning in pain in the background.

Menma, sitting on Sasuke's lap, joined in the laughter. Sasuke smirked and added, "That's why you should just eat and keep quiet, loser."

Sakura, trying to calm her anger as she clenched her fists, asked, "Princess Hiyama, what brings you back to the Leaf?"

"Well," Hiyama began, "my father has stepped down, and my brother, the prince, is going to be the new ruler. He's got amazing ideas that will be great for the village. I asked my brother if I could return to the Leaf, and he agreed, especially since I have citizenship here, thanks to Naruto." She reached over and linked her arm with Naruto's, causing Hinata to feel a pang of discomfort.

"But the real reason I'm here," Hiyama continued with a smile, "is that I've made a decision. Naruto was busy eating his food, oblivious to the tension building around the table. Hiyama stood up dropping her chopstick and faced "Thank you for all your support. I love you, and I want us to date for real."

Naruto suddenly started choking on his food, caught completely off guard. Sasuke quickly leaned over and smacked him on the back, helping him catch his breath.

"Hiyama, stop teasing," Naruto managed to say between coughs.

"I'm not teasing," Hiyama replied seriously. "I really love you, Naruto, and I'm going to prove my love for you. We're going to be a real family."The table fell into an uneasy silence, everyone processing her bold declaration.

"Thanks, Hiyama," Naruto said with a polite smile. "But I'm actually taking a break from dating right now, if you don't mind. I'm about to have three kids, you know."

"Yes, and that's exactly why you need a wife," Hiyama insisted.

Naruto chuckled and gestured around the table. "Well, as you can see, all the mothers of my kids are here, so I think I've got things covered."

Hiyama pouted slightly, clearly not satisfied with his response. "Why are you being like this, Naruto? I heard you were at the top of the 'Sexiest Single Men' list. You were number one, and I quote, 'looking for love.'"

"Those are just articles," Naruto said, brushing off Hiyama's words. "I don't really agree with them. If it benefits the Leaf Village, I just do the interviews."

Naruto smiled as he started clearing the table. "Don't tell me you actually think I'm cute," he teased. "Remember that time when I first met you and Toshinori? You told him how ugly I was and how it was impossible for us to be related."

Hinata watched as Hiyama's face shifted from sadness to a mischievous grin. "Hey, Naruto, are you still ticklish?" she asked playfully before suddenly reaching out to tickle him.

"Hiyama, stop teasing," Naruto managed to say between coughs.

They both headed to the kitchen, Menma fast asleep in Sasuke's arms. "I'm going to take Menma to bed," Sasuke said to Sakura. "Should I take Miyako too?"

"Of course," Sakura replied. "This is her home too.

Let's go, shorty," Sasuke smiled at Miyako, noticing she was wearing a shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol. Hinata caught sight of it and smiled softly.

"So that's Princess Hiyama," Sakura remarked to Hinata. "It's surprising, right? When we went to rescue her, she and Naruto were fighting like cats and dogs. It was almost laughable when he told me he had to marry her.

After Hiyama rushed back, she said, "Oh, so Hinata, Sakura is your best friend, right?"

"Yes," Hinata replied, wondering where Hiyama was going with her question.

"So it's cool that she hooked up with your crush and had his baby?" Hiyama asked.

Hinata was shocked. Just then, Naruto came back, blushing. "Come on, let's talk," he said. "Hiyama, leave Hinata alone."

Hiyama smiled. "Are you trying to get me alone?" she asked, as Naruto pulled her with him.

"I think I should go," Hinata said, noticing that everything seemed to be covered. "Thanks for the food."

"I'm sorry," Sakura said. Hinata could tell she was genuinely remorseful. "I was trying to make dinner better. I'm working hard to be a good mother to Menma and the baby, and I want to be a good aunt to Miyako and to your and Naruto's child. This is such a mess, it sounds like a sitcom. But it's okay we have enough love to share."

Naruto returned with a very pissed-off Princess Hiyama in tow. "Don't even bother coming back to see Miyako," she snapped, her voice laced with fury. "I'm staying here tonight." Without waiting for a response, she stormed up the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the house.

Sakura shot Naruto a "what the hell" look, clearly baffled by Hiyama's outburst. He responded with a look that said, "She's just mad because she didn't get her way." Sakura nodded in understanding, though the tension in the air was unmistakable.

Naruto turned to Hinata, his expression softening. "Hey, Hinata, are you on your way home? Let me walk you," he offered, his concern evident in his voice.Naruto then asked, "Is it cool if I leave Menma and Miyako here tomorrow? I have a mission early and I Know Miyako misses her mom."

"Yeah, that's fine," Sakura said. "But aren't you going to take Princess Hiyama with you?"

"Please, can you handle her today?" Naruto requested. "I promise I owe you one."

"Yeah, no problem," Sakura replied. "I definitely can't wait to call in that favor."

Hinata quickly put on her shoes, waved goodbye to Sakura, and started walking home with Naruto.

"Hey, it's still early, Hinata," Naruto said.

"Yeah, but are you tired? Maybe you want to stop by my place for a little while. It seems like we haven't talked in a while," Naruto suggested.

Hinata joked, "Well, you were unconscious for two days."

"Great," Naruto replied as they arrived at his home. Hinata felt a surge of pride as she remembered how hard Naruto had worked and saved up Ryo to buy this place. As she stepped inside, a wave of happiness washed over her, relieved that Naruto was no longer living in that tiny apartment. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder how different her life might have been if they were together would they already be married by now?

Still caught up in thoughts of what it would be like to live there with him, to be his wife, Hinata was brought back to reality by Naruto's voice.

"Hinata, come with me to the living room," Naruto said. "I'll put on a movie for us."

Hinata hesitated for a moment before sitting down, frozen in fear as memories of her and Kiba watching a movie together flooded back.

*Flashback: Hinata's Trauma from Kiba*

"Hey, Hinata. Thanks for agreeing to come to my house today," Kiba said with a smile."Of course, Kiba. I haven't seen you since the ice cream date," Hinata replied."Yeah," he said. "Come on, let's watch a movie." As they watched a ninja movie together, things seemed to be going well. Kiba put his arm around her, and Hinata felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. As the movie progressed to a raunchy sex scene, Kiba paused the film on NinjaFlix.

Kiba turned to Hinata and said, "You know, Hinata, we still have weeks before our wedding. Don't you think it would be okay for me to see you naked?"

"What?" Hinata asked, confused.

"Yeah," Kiba continued. "I promise I won't touch you, but you could let me see you naked. I'm practically your husband. Come on, take your clothes off, like she did in the movie. You can do that, right?"

"Kiba, I don't know if I feel.."

"You don't know what, Hinata? Naruto tossed you aside like you were trash. I've been the only one in your corner. Don't forget, your best friend has his child. I'm just asking you to get naked. It's not a big deal."

"Okay, Kiba," Hinata said, tears streaming down her face. "I'll do it."

"Do it slowly," Kiba instructed.

Hinata slowly removed her clothes until she was only in her underwear. "Okay, I'm done. Is this enough?" she asked, her voice trembling."Is this enough?" Hinata repeated as he reached into his pants. "Don't worry. You should be happy you got me hard."

Kiba looked at Hinata and said, "Wow, you have an amazing body. Could you take off your bra?"

With a heavy heart, Hinata complied. Kiba continued, "You don't need to be so shy. I'm going to be your husband soon. Your body is for me."

He then asked, "Could you also take off your panties?"

Hinata felt uncomfortable but did as he asked. Kiba's behavior became increasingly explicit. As he touched himself, Hinata felt a deep sense of distress. Kiba instructed her, "Get on your knees," she positioning herself so that her ass was facing him. Kiba's moans grew louder. "Say my name," he demanded Hinata. Hinata said, "Kiba."

Kiba looked at Hinata and said, "Wow, you have an amazing body. Could you take off your bra?"

With a heavy heart, Hinata complied. Kiba continued, "You don't need to be so shy. I'm going to be your husband soon. Your body is for me."

Afterward, Kiba got up and said, "You're so hot. I'm eager for us to be together. Every day is hard. Get dressed, and I'll take you home."

Naruto's Pov

Hinata sat down next to Naruto, her distress evident. Naruto frowned, noticing her discomfort. "Please, sit. I'll find something on NinjaFlix," he said gently.

As Naruto watched Hinata flinch, he felt a deep concern. "Hinata, you're safe here. Please, sit next to me."Hinata moved closer, sitting beside him. Her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable," he said, With her voice trembling. "Please don't ask me to take my clothes off."

Naruto's heart ached as he saw her cry. Naruto's face turned grave. He turned to Hinata, gently holding her chin to make sure she met his gaze. "I'm not Kiba," he said firmly. "I'm not sick like that. I would never force you to do something like that. I'm sorry that happened to you. And remember, Black Zetsu is a corrupting force that has been influencing Kiba for a long time."

Naruto thought back to his previous conversation he has with Sasuke about Kiba:

Naruto was shocked when he spoke with Sasuke. "What exactly did Hinata go through?" he asked.

Sasuke replied, "Kiba didn't force her into physical contact, but he did force her to watch him masturbate. I guess some of these incidents happened while watching movie and other dates with him. Naruto, promise me you won't watch the recording that Ino managed to capture with her mind control jutsu. I couldn't let a man like that live if he did that to Sakura . Just know that Kiba made her watch him often and took pleasure in her distress. He would frequently apologize, pretending it was normal because he was going to be her husband soon."

He continued with reassurance, "You're safe here with me. I'm here for you, no matter what."

"I'm here if you want to talk," Naruto said gently. "How about I get us some wine or beer to help us relax?"

He immediately regretted his words, feeling they might sound inappropriate. "Sorry, that probably sounded stupid. Like a pervert trying to loosen you up for later."Hinata chuckled softly. "Sure, I could use something to relax." Naruto handed her a beer, and they began to drink. As the movie played, which turned out to be quite funny, Hinata leaned on him. It felt comforting to be together in this way.She smelled just like I remembered vanilla and lavender. We were enjoying popcorn when my hand accidentally brushed against hers. "Sorry," I said."It's okay," she replied.

Her face was so close that I couldn't resist leaning forward. Our lips brushed in a simple kiss, which I pulled away from. But Hinata leaned in again, and this time, our kiss deepened. Her tongue explored my mouth, and I kissed her back harder, a small moan escaping her lips. Before I knew it, I was on top of her, her hands reaching under my shirt. Even though it had been a while, our bodies remembered each other.

Breaking off the kiss, I sat back up. "Why?" she asked. I couldn't let it go any further. I wanted this to work, but having sex wouldn't lead us down the path I wanted.

"I'm sorry, Naruto . You said you didn't want a relationship. I should go." Hinata tried to pull away, but I grabbed her, and she flinched from my touch. "You're not ready for this, Hinata. We've just become friends, and I don't want to ruin that."

"I understand," she said. "I don't think you do," I replied. "It's just once I have you back in my arms, I don't think I'll be able to let you go again."

"Naruto, I want to say thanks again. I didn't think I could feel this way," Hinata said. "I came to ask you, do you think it's possible for us to stop being just friends and maybe be something more?"

I was shocked. She wasn't saying what I wanted to hear, not today. When Princess Hiyama asked me to take her out on a date, I agreed, but when she asked me to spend the night, I said no earlier.

"Shit, why now?" I thought. I wanted to be with Hinata too, but I had already promised Hiyama that I would take her out. If this was going to work, I had to make sure Hiyama knew that I loved Hinata. I needed to tell Hinata that I wanted us to have a real relationship, without any more drama. I had to express my feelings so Hiyama would understand that we had no chance. I also needed to sort out the child custody arrangements for Miyako before I could be with Hinata.

I thought quickly and said to Hinata, "We've been drinking, and things sort of got out of control. Can we revisit this topic another time? It would be better to make choices when we both are sober.

I hoped I hadn't blown my last chance at starting a relationship with Hinata. I prayed she would wait for me while I figured things out so we could be together.I felt relieved when Hinata said, "You're right, Naruto. Don't mind me. Do you want to stay the night?" I asked her. "Yeah, I would love that," I said. "Let me call my father so he won't worry."

I pulled out an old pair of T-shirt and shorts and placed them on the bed. After Hinata called her father, she said he told me to give his love to his grandkids, I smiled, feeling blessed that things were working out like this.

"It's beautiful," Hinata said. "Sometimes it's hard, you know? When I look at Menma, I see you and Sakura and how happy you guys are with your child. And seeing you being a father to Miyako is so nice. Now that we're having a child, my family wants them to be included because they will be siblings."

"Yeah, you'd think it wouldn't work, but the love for the children outweighs the conflicts we've had," I said. "It's not my business, Naruto, but do you still have feelings for Sakura?"

"No," I replied. "I loved her, but what happened between us was painful. We were in such a dark place, and nothing we did that night was out of love. If anything, we hurt each other and ruined our relationship."

"I know Sasuke loves my son, but it must hurt knowing I'm the father of her first child," Naruto said. "I know that feeling will always be there. I'm sorry Hinata. I want things to be perfect for you."

"I get it now," I said, reflecting on Sasuke's words. "Sasuke used to call me a loser because I hated losing. I lost Sakura to him, so I thought I'd one up him by getting her pregnant. Even though I have the girl of my dreams, I felt like a loser for giving up. But Sasuke told me something important today. He said I'm only a loser when I believe I am one. He said he'd stop calling me a loser once I truly believed I'm not one. He reminded me that I'm an amazing father, a great friend, and that I put my whole heart into protecting the village. I have two beautiful children, so why do I keep acting like a loser? He told me I'm a winner and that I should start acting like one."

"Hinata, I'm so sorry for everything Kiba did to you. I wish I could have been there for you. It breaks my heart knowing you might have been waiting for me to save you. I always wanted everyone in the village to be safe. I regret that I wasn't braver. I should have been more open, but I was so focused on protecting everyone, including keeping my past with Sakura to myself. If I had been more honest, perhaps things could have been different, and Kiba might not have acted the way he did."

Hinata listened. "Naruto, you're not a loser. You've never been one to me. I fell in love with you, even though you doubt yourself. Anyone can stop being a loser and become a winner. You're not a loser, Stop, Naruto. None of this is your fault. It's not mine either, and certainly not the fault of this child. We need to focus on healing and moving forward together. Let's help each other overcome the wounds of the past." Her words struck within me. Overcome by emotion, I pulled her close and kissed her tenderly. The kiss deepened as we both embraced in that moment." I think it's time to get some rest. "

"Yeah thank you Naruto" Hinata went to his guest bedroom, closing the door behind her.

*o0o*

Kiba's Pov released day

The door to cell 005 slid open with a soft hiss. "Kiba, come with me," Sai said. Kiba followed in silence. Sai led him to a room and handed him a set of clothes. "First, you need to bathe and change."Kiba glanced at the clothing. "Sai, these aren't mine."

"You're no longer a shinobi," Sai explained. "So you can't wear shinobi attire. These are for you now."Kiba frowned. "When can I see Akamaru?"

"First, you need to get cleaned up and dressed," Sai replied. "I'll make sure you get to see him afterward." After Sai left, Kiba washed his face and noticed a rubber band. He used it to tie his hair into a ponytail. Looking at his reflection, he saw the seal across his stomach. The seal only Naruto could break. He put on the white shirt, gray pants, and slippers, feeling exposed without his headband.

Akamaru bounded towards Kiba, barking excitedly and licking his face. But as Kiba tried to communicate, he realized he could no longer understand his loyal companion. "I'm sorry," Kiba cried. "I can't understand you. I'm so sorry, boy."

Sai approached and said, "Kiba, we need to leave."Kiba reluctantly followed Sai. "You should know the rules," Sai continued. "Your a regular citizen now, you're not allowed to make any contact with Hinata. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Kiba replied."Also, Shino has requested that you not see him either."Kiba nodded. "I understand. Let's go, boy." As he walked with Akamaru by his side, the whispers of the villagers followed him. Their harsh comments cut through the air, each one a reminder of his disgrace.

"There he goes. I heard he beat up Hinata at the rehearsal dinner," one villager said with disdain.

"Yeah, and Naruto had to save her. What a coward to hit a woman," another added.

"That's horrible. I saw him at the ice cream shop one day. You should've seen how he treated her," someone else chimed in. Each whisper and judgment felt like a physical blow. Kiba tried to ignore them, but the weight of their words pressed heavily on him, making each step a painful reminder of his actions.

As Kiba walked with Akamaru, he realized how much he relied on his sense of smell. It was gone now, and the world seemed diminished without it. He used to be able to detect even the faintest scents, but now, the lack of this ability made him feel disoriented. He nearly bumped into Hinata as she walked past, moving as quickly as he could to avoid her. Being thankful the wind blew her hat off her head causing her to switch directions. His heart raced, and he silently prayed that she hadn't noticed him. The weight of guilt and regret pressed down on him, making each step feel heavier.

Kiba was suddenly yanked into the air and slammed against a wall with a force that left him breathless. Before him stood an ANBU with a fox mask, his presence suffocating. "Kiba, you are not to be that close to her," the ANBU warned, his voice cold and commanding.

Kiba, who had never known fear like this, felt his entire body tremble. Without his chakra, he couldn't sense the ANBU's approach, and the sheer force of the push left him wondering if he had broken something. His vision blurred, and he struggled to focus on the figure in front of him.

"I wasn't trying to... I didn't see her... I can't sense her," Kiba stammered, panic rising in his chest. "You only avoided her because I interfered," the ANBU stated, his tone unyielding. "Go home."

Kiba's legs shook uncontrollably as he stood, his body instinctively sensing the danger he was in. The fox-masked ANBU glanced at Akamaru. "Watch him," he ordered before disappearing into thin air.

"Shit... was that Naruto?" Kiba muttered, a cold sweat breaking out across his skin. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks without his chakra, without his abilities, he was nothing. The fear was overwhelming, gnawing at him from the inside. To think that Naruto was so powerful, this is how it feels to be weak, to be utterly defenseless.His mind flashed to Hinata, her tear-streaked face, her voice pleading with him to stop hurting her. The memory was unbearable, and now, feeling the weight of his own weakness, it crushed him even more.

He continued with his therapy sessions with Shizune, struggling to believe the village had actually given him a retirement check and a large amount of Ryo that he didn't think he deserved. He wanted to reach out to Hinata and Shino, but Shizune advised him to wait until they discussed it further in their sessions. Though he was home, it didn't feel like he was truly living. Every time he closed his eyes, the nightmares of what he had done to Hinata and the other women haunted him.

*o0o*

Today, he was supposed to see Naruto. He knew he had to apologize to the women he had wronged. Originally, Naruto had been adamant that Kiba would have to make the apologies alone. But recently, Naruto had a change of heart and decided that they would both face the women together, understanding the importance of making amends.As Kiba entered the Hokage Mansion, he was directed to a seat, his senses on edge. The loss of his sense of smell was unsettling he had been so accustomed to navigating the world through scent that he hardly needed his eyes before. Now, without his ninja reflexes, he felt vulnerable, almost blind to the world around him. When Naruto finally appeared, Kiba was startled by how close he was before he even noticed him.

"Kiba," Naruto said, his tone steady. "Let's get this over with."They walked down the hall to a small conference room, where Ino was already waiting. "For your protection," she said, "we need you to wear handcuffs." Kiba didn't resist; he knew this was necessary.As women from the Stone, Sand, Mist, and Lightning villages began filing into the room, there was a tense silence.

Ino addressed them, her voice calm but firm. "Hello, ladies. We've brought you here to speak with Naruto Uzumaki." The mention of his name sparked a cheer from the women, momentarily lightening the heavy atmosphere.

Naruto glanced at Kiba, who stood silently, feeling the weight of what was about to happen. This was a moment of reckoning, and there was no turning back.

"Hello, ladies. I'm Naruto Uzumaki," he began, his voice steady but carrying the weight of the situation. "You've been brought here to hear a painful truth. I see you are wearing my Leaf pendant, and I'm sorry to say this is the first time I've actually met all of you." The crowd erupted in shouts and murmurs, but Naruto raised his hand, signaling for silence. "Please, let me finish. My fellow teammate used a Transformation Jutsu, so you were never actually with me."He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing. "Unfortunately, it's not all Kiba's fault. He was under the control of dark chakra from powerful user. That chakra user has been destroyed. We felt it was crucial for you to know what truly happened." Turning to Kiba.

Kiba stood up " I know I can never fully apologize for what happened. I promised you that I would come back and bring you to the Leaf. As granted by the Hokage, if you choose, you will be able to receive Leaf citizenship and financial support, which will come from my personal account. While this cannot undo the past, it may help with the future."

The room fell into a tense silence as the woman exchanged glances, a mixture of disbelief and hurt in their eyes. Finally, one woman, her voice trembling, spoke up."I can't believe this," she said. "We were all led to believe that Naruto truly loved us. I thought I was special to him, that we had a future together."

Another woman, tears streaming down her face, added, "I was promised a life with him, a family. How could Kiba do this? I thought he was Naruto. I thought he was the one who would marry me."

His face was a mixture of shame and regret as he tried to speak, but the women's anguish was overwhelming, leaving him at a loss for words

One of the women, her voice filled with pain, addressed Kiba directly. "You used us, played with our hearts. We trusted you, thinking you were Naruto. You took advantage of our feelings and hope. How could you live with yourself knowing the pain you've caused?" Another woman, her voice cracking, said, "And now, you come here and offer financial support and citizenship? It's not about the money. It's about the trust and love you shattered. We believed in a future that was nothing more than a lie."

I was unable to meet their eyes, murmured, "I am so sorry for the pain I've caused. I was controlled by dark forces and had no control over my actions. I wish I could undo the hurt I've caused, but I know I can't. Please, understand that it was never my intention to deceive or hurt you."

The women looked at each other, their expressions a mix of anger and sorrow. One of them finally spoke up, "We need time to process this, to understand what's next. The promises and the lies have left us with more questions than answers."

Ino stepped forward, her voice carrying a note of sympathy."Hello, ladies. I want to make it clear that Kiba has faced severe consequences for his actions. He is no longer able to pursue his dream of becoming Hokage. His chakra has been sealed from him, which means he has lost all his ninja abilities. Kiba, once a skilled ninja and the heir to his clan, is now unable to communicate with the hounds of his clan or use his skills.

I understand that this may not make up for the pain you've experienced, and I don't expect forgiveness. But I hope you see that Kiba has lost everything that defined him as a ninja. This loss is even more devastating to him than it might seem from the outside. He is trying to make amends in whatever way he can, even though he knows he can never fully undo the damage he has caused."

He stare at Naruto and he seems pissed. His fist was clenched. Naruto said, "I have to tell you all something. Even someone like myself I'm not a god. I'm a Leaf ninja, but honestly, I'm disappointed. You should have more respect for yourselves. Just because someone promises to marry you, doesn't mean you should believe them so easily. You don't even know me," Naruto continued. "Let me guess, when Kiba impersonated me, you were drinking, right? I don't know your names, your villages, or anything about you, and I never spoke to you again after that. Think about it I'm globally known. If I wanted to reach out to you, I could have at any point, but I didn't. That should have been a red flag. Don't just agree to anyone who might be using you."

The women were initially silent, processing Naruto's harsh but honest words. One woman finally spoke up, her voice shaky but determined. "You're right, Naruto. We should have been more cautious and not let ourselves be deceived so easily. We let our emotions cloud our judgment because we were desperate for love and connection."Another woman added, "We believed in the promises because we wanted them to be true, not because they made sense. It's painful to realize we were used, but it's a lesson we needed to learn."A third woman, with tears in her eyes, said, "One of the women stepped forward, her voice steady despite the anger in her eyes. "Thank you, Naruto, for coming in person to speak with us. You didn't owe us anything, but we appreciate your efforts. However, as for the offer of help and compensation, we refuse to accept it. We don't want anything that comes from the deceit and pain caused by Kiba's actions. We need time to heal and to find our own way forward."

"The women nodded in agreement, some wiping away tears, while others looked down in shame. They knew Naruto's words were hard to hear but necessary for them to move on and regain their self-respect. Kiba lowered his head, accepting their decision with a solemn nod.

Kiba, standing off to the side, felt a surge of confusion and resentment. What the hell? Did Naruto actually feel bad for me? he wondered, baffled by the conflicting emotions. He couldn't understand the other day when he sprained my shoulder he didn't seem to care at all.

"We're done here, Ino," Naruto said, his voice flat and emotionless. "Okay," she nodded, turning to leave.

"Let's go, Kiba," Naruto added. "I wasn't sticking up for you, but I can't just follow the logic behind why they would believe a lie like that."

As Naruto stepped closer, Kiba could see the darkness in his once-bright blue eyes. "I don't forgive you," Naruto said, his voice steady with cold determination. "But I won't let my hatred for you ruin my life. I'm going to marry Hinata, and you, Kiba you'll have nothing left."

Kiba sneered, his anger bubbling over. "Fuck you, Naruto! And that pink-haired slut you call a friend. Sasuke gets a happy ending, huh? After everything that bastard did, he still gets to keep all his powers and is still considered a hero of the Leaf. A hero who joined a gang to kill you, Naruto. A hero who tried to kill the Kage. A hero who tried to kill his own wife. It's funny how he gets to be around, the most dangerous person in the Leaf, but I guess it's okay as long as he's sucking your dick, Naruto."

Naruto's jaw clenched as Kiba spat his venomous words. His patience was wearing thin, but he maintained his composure barely. Kiba's insults cut deep, but Naruto refused to let them get to him.

Ino quickly stepped in, holding Naruto back. "He's not worth it, Naruto. Just let him go. He has nothing now."

"That's fine, Kiba," Naruto replied, his tone icy. "You're just a regular citizen now harmless. You can spew all the hate you want, but it won't change anything."

Kiba gave Naruto the middle finger before storming off, heading back home, the bitter taste of defeat lingering in his mouth.

Hiyama's POV

Hiyama was changing into her pajamas when she heard a knock on the door. It was Sakura. "Hi, Hiyama. How are you settling in?" Sakura asked.

"Pretty good, thanks for letting me stay," Hiyama replied.

"I'll be heading back to Naruto tomorrow," Hiyama said. "Are you sure? Have you talked about that with Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"Before I left, he told me it would always be my home, especially since that's where our daughter lives," Hiyama explained.

Sakura eyes narrowed. "Hiyama, I don't mean to overstep, but you're being pretty selfish. It's really kind of Naruto to look out for you and Miyako. He even married you, and everyone can see that you two weren't a love match to begin with. Don't you think you're being unfair to Naruto?"

"What? You have no idea what you're talking about," Hiyama snapped. "You don't understand anything about Naruto and my relationship, so back off. Selfish? I laugh. You got pregnant by your husband's best friend. The same guy your best friend has been in love with. And I'm selfish?"

Sakura was stunned. "You are... Lucky, he's such a nice guy, letting you into Menma's life when you wanted to give him up."

"How dare you," Sakura yelled.

"Sakura, enough," Sasuke's voice called out. "Sakura, let Hiyama settle in. It's late."

"You should stay out of Naruto's business," Hiyama shot back, her voice sharp. "If you had, you wouldn't have had his child." With that, she slammed the door, her heart pounding with anger.

I was frustrated that Naruto wasn't taking my advances seriously when he pulled me away from Hinata earlier. I always wanted to meet Hinata.

"What the hell was that, Hiyama? Why did you say that to her? We're all trying to work through this difficult situation," Naruto snapped.

"Why do you care?" I shot back, narrowing my eyes. "She's not your girlfriend. Don't tell me you still have feelings for her." I gave him a look that screamed, Give me a break.

"Hiyama, I can't discuss this now," Naruto said, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. "I have to walk Hinata home."

"Why? Isn't she a Kunoichi? Can't she take care of herself?" I retorted, irritation bubbling up inside me.

Naruto sighed deeply, his patience clearly wearing thin. "I don't have time for this."

"Fine. But tomorrow, take me out on a date, and I'll let you go walk Hinata home."

"Fine, we have a date tomorrow," he agreed reluctantly.

"Also, spend the night with me."

"No, I can't do that," he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

I reflected on everything, realizing that it only made sense for me to grieve the loss of my beloved Toshinori. When I see Naruto, I can't help but be reminded of Toshinori, my childhood friend, the one I loved with all my heart. After Naruto agreed to marry me, treated me so well, and welcomed both my daughter and me into his home, how could I not fall for him? But my village needed me, and my little brother needed my help, so I had to leave.Now that I'm back, I'm ready to give it my all. I'm sorry, Hinata. I saw the way she looked at Naruto she might like him, but we have a deeper history.

*o0o*

Sakura's Pov

"Sakura, why did you do that? It's not your place to fight with her just because she's speaking the truth," Sasuke said, his tone firm. "You can't speak for Naruto's heart."

"I'm not saying who Naruto should be with. He should decide that for himself," Sakura replied calmly. "But why are you so against Hinata?"

"I'm not against Hinata," Sasuke responded, his voice softening. "It's just a very difficult situation. Hinata's best friend has been torturing her mentally for months, and she's haunted by nightmares she can't shake. And to make matters worse, because it's Black Zetsu, most of it might not even be Kiba's doing or it could have nothing to do with Kiba at all." "Naruto and I are on different skill levels as shinobi," Sasuke began, his voice steady. "With Kiba, this could have happened to anyone Rock Lee, Shikamaru, or even Shino. It happened to Kiba because he was in love with Hinata, and Black Zetsu knew Naruto loves her. That's why she was targeted."

Sakura blinked, the weight of Sasuke's words sinking in. She had never thought about it like that.

"Listen," Sasuke continued, "What Kiba did shouldn't be forgiven, but there's no way to tell if he would have done it without the influence of Black Zetsu. Naruto is upset because he didn't notice what was happening. He was too caught up in his own turmoil Sakura, you hid a child from him, and at the same time, he had to adopt a daughter. He thought the woman he loved was happy with another man. He's beating himself up about it, and you can't even tell."

Sasuke paused, his eyes meeting Sakura's. "I'm not saying which woman is best for Naruto, and I'm not on anyone's side. But, Sakura, you need to stop interfering in Naruto's life. Stop judging the women involved. I heard you tell Hinata that Naruto still loves her that's not your place. Step back. We're about to have a baby, and we already have major trust issues. We can't afford to complicate things further."

Sakura's eyes widened, her voice trembling as she asked, "You don't trust me?"

Sasuke's gaze hardened, the weight of his words hanging in the air. "Sakura, you literally had sex with my best friend, someone I consider my brother, and you hid the truth from both of us. I've stood by, taking everything you've thrown at me, fine, I deserve it, but Naruto didn't. You were manipulated by Black Zetsu lies. Kiba spreaded, but the lies were enough for you to sleep with Naruto."

Sasuke's voice trembled with restrained anger. "Sakura, if you really want to stop all this drama, then mind your own damn business. Stop forcing the two of them together before you ruin his life even more."

Sakura's face paled, and Sasuke continued, his voice laced with pain. "He actually cried, Sakura. He told me he was sorry he fathered your first child. He cried and said he didn't regret Menma he loves him and feels complete because of him. but it breaks his heart because his first child was born from a pity fuck. From a woman who didn't even love him."

The harshness of his words hit like a hammer, leaving Sakura visibly shaken, her eyes welling with tears. Sasuke had laid bare the deep wounds, the raw emotions that Naruto had confided in him, and the heavy burden of their actions weighed on both of them.

Sakura took a deep breath, her voice softening. "You're right, Sasuke. I'll stay out of it. I have no right to say anything about their relationship." He paused, then added, "If you want to help, maybe you could offer to take Menma more often while Naruto deals with his ex-wife."

Sakura's voice. "But their marriage wasn't real, Sakura," She reminded him.

"How do we know that for sure?" Sasuke countered gently. "Maybe they actually developed something deeper. He was only with Hinata for one day just one time. How does he know he wants to spend the rest of his life with her?"

Sakura considered his words, the complexity of Naruto's situation weighing heavily on her mind. The truth was, no one could really know what was in Naruto's heart but him, and the tangled web of emotions and obligations made it even harder to untangle.Sakura nodded, her expression softening as she realized the weight of Sasuke's words. "Sasuke, you're right. I'm wrong, and I'll stop," she said quietly.

Sasuke pulled her into a gentle hug, his voice full of affection. "Thank you. I love you, but please, focus on us. You're pregnant too, and I love you. We need to take care of each other." He looked into her eyes with a tender smile. "We haven't even been intimate in a while. Let's go to bed."

Sakura smiled back, feeling the warmth of his embrace and the reassurance in his words. "Okay, let's go to bed," she agreed.Sakura climbed into bed with Sasuke, her heart still heavy from their earlier conversation. The words they exchanged had left her feeling hurt and unsure. As she lay down, Sasuke turned to her, his expression softening."Sakura, come closer," Sasuke murmured, leaning in to kiss her.The kiss started gentle but quickly grew more intense, When they finally pulled apart, Sasuke's gaze was serious.

"Sakura, I can't lie to you," he said, his voice tinged with frustration. "I'm pissed off right now. When you act like that, it makes me feel like you're seeking Naruto's attention. And you... you're my wife. Not his.Sakura let out a moan as Sasuke's finger slid into her panties, a mix of anticipation and tension coursing through her. "Don't make me jealous," he said, his voice low and commanding.

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as he noticed her reaction. "Wow," he said, a hint of surprise in his voice, "That turned you on, huh? I just finished lecturing you, and you're already soaking wet."

Sasuke's voice dropped to a low, seductive murmur. "Do you enjoy being spoken to roughly? Tell me what you like. I want to know every detail.Sakura was conflicted as Sasuke's finger moved inside her, bringing a mix of pleasure.

The roughness of his touch and his probing question stirred memories of her past with Naruto. As Sasuke continued his movement faster, she found herself moaning, unable to ignore the lingering echoes of her previous experiences. "Yes," she admitted, her voice trembling. Sakura's body trembled as she recalled Naruto's breath on her ear and his rough words.

"Sakura your such a selfish bitch she heard Naruto voice between his moans as he fuck her.

Did it turn you on when I gave you a lecture earlier? Did it remind you of that night you fuck Naruto? Is that why you enjoyed being with him?" Sakura nodded. Sasuke continued to finger Sakura, making her moan with each movement. "Is that so?" he asked, his voice dripping with intensity. As he removed his clothing and climbed on top of her, Sakura pulled off her shirt and bra. "You know," Sasuke said as he moved down to suck on her perky nipple, eliciting another moan from her, "your behavior seems like you're angry that no one is fighting for you." He paused, a smirk on his face. "You're such an attention whore," he murmured, his breath hot against her skin. With swift movements, he thrust into her. "I think I've been too gentle with you," he said as he lifted her and began to pound into her. She screamed his name loudly, "I'm just as strong as Naruto! Oh my Hokage!" Her voice trembled as she climaxed against Sasuke.

The problem is, he flipped Sakura onto her knees. "You don't want me to make love to you," he said, slapping her ass. "You want to be fuck into submission and that what I'm going to do."

He had one hand on her shoulder, thrusting into her harder and deeper. Sakura moaned, overwhelmed by the intensity. She loved the way he spoke to her, the force of his movements, the sound of their bodies meeting, and his grunts. It was perfect.

The room seemed to shift as Sakura looked up at him. His eyes changed, and he unleashed his chakra. "No, he couldn't," she thought as his voice echoed ominously. Her vision blurred into black and white. "Sakura, do you even know what it feels like to be here with me and have sex? I'll keep you here for 30 seconds, but for you, it will feel like days."

As he thrust harder and deeper, Sakura gripped the sheets tightly, overwhelmed by the intensity. She lost count of how many orgasms she experienced, feeling herself fade in and out of consciousness. Finally, as she returned to her bedroom, she heard him cry out, "Sakura," and felt him come inside her, panting and breathing heavily.

"Just remember, Naruto could never do that for you. Only your husband, the last living Uchiha," he said. "I love you, Sakura," he whispered before she drifted to sleep, a smile on her face.

Naruto's Pov

Naruto felt emotionally drained after confronting Kiba. Seeing Kiba, weakened and afraid, brought him a grim satisfaction he hadn't anticipated. He had been ready to beat Kiba mercilessly, but seeing him so vulnerable was oddly comforting. Yet, Naruto had to remind himself of the bigger picture: Kiba's abuse of Hinata.

The taunts Kiba threw at him mocking Naruto with crude remarks about his interactions with Sasuke lingered in his mind. Despite the small sense of relief he felt from Kiba's diminished state, Naruto struggled to push past the bitterness and focus on the real damage Kiba had caused.

There was a knock at Naruto's door, and Hiyama entered. Her bright red hair was styled in a high ponytail, and her green eyes sparkled with determination. She wore a green dress and held a basket in her hands.

"Great timing," Naruto said, gesturing for her to come in. "We need to talk."

Hiyama set the basket down and took out a sandwich she had made. Naruto devoured it with appreciation, nodding his approval. "That was good."

Hiyama took a deep breath, her expression serious. "Naruto, can I speak first?"

"Yeah," he replied.

"I'm in love with you," she confessed. "I truly love you and want to be your wife for real this time. Please, before you say no, hear me out. I know you're lonely, and so am I. We've both lost great loves. I know you're being kind, but you probably haven't been this close to anyone in a long time."

As she spoke, Hiyama moved to sit on Naruto's lap, straddling him. She leaned forward, her eyes locking with his. "Let's try for real," she said softly, leaning in to kiss him.

Naruto gently lifted Hiyama off his lap and set her down. "I can't do this," he said, his voice steady but filled with sadness. "I promised to take care of you, and I intend to keep that promise."

Hiyama's eyes were filled with confusion and hurt. "Naruto, I don't understand.

He shook his head, regret evident in his eyes. "We were just kids when all this started. They shouldn't have put us in this situation. I regret what happened.Hiyama's eyes welled up with tears, but Naruto remained resolute. "I'm sorry, Hiyama. I just can't offer you what you're asking for right now."

"I'm sorry," Hinata said softly, her voice barely a whisper. "I was just nearby and thought I'd drop off some food. I'm happy for you both." She began to turn away.

"No, Hinata, wait!" Naruto called out, his voice urgent. "You don't need to pretend to be happy or leave. Please, stay. I need to explain what Hiyama means to me and our history before this becomes an unnecessary obstacle."

Please come in. Hiyama spoke up, "Hinata, stay. It's important for you to understand. It's okay, Naruto. Tell her everything. I'm fine with it."
