AU inspired by the series 'A Sister's Love' by Mattwilson83. Cover belongs to Sincity2100.
The following involves a rather odd and extreme change to the cannon. This involves what I think would happen if Naruto was in a polygamous relationship with Hinata and Hanabi and how that would affect them. I will eventually also jump forward to the time of Boruto. I feel I should mention that Himawari won't feature in this story, as Naruto will only have had one child with Hinata and Hanabi each.
I've also decided to change it that Sakura married Rock Lee instead of Sasuke, as I've always felt they would've made a great couple.
Furthermore, while I have rated this story M, no explicit content will be featured. I just felt I had to give this story a mature rating due to the nature of Naruto being in a Polygamous relationship. If you think I should change it please let me know.
This is also a remake of my now deleted story 'A Non-Traditional Journey'. I decided to start from the beginning as I felt I approached the concept wrong. In that polygamy would likely be seen as more of an outdated concept then a non traditional one, so I've decided to change how the characters view this practice and how they judge Naruto for it. I've also decided to do a few more chapters focusing on the early years of the relationship, as I jumped right to Boruto after two short chapters. This way we can see more about how the village reacted to Naruto taking a second wife. I also didn't do much to show how I think including Hanabi would affect the Uzumaki family. I intend to change that here. This first chapter will pretty much be the same as the original, but following chapters will show stuff not seen in the original story.
Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi were currently on their way to the Hyuga compound. Hinata was also carrying her and Naruto's infant child Boruto. About a year ago, Hababi had confessed that she two had fallen in love with her sister's husband. To her surprise she had been invited into the relationship and the three had been secretly together since. When the relationship started Hanabi had moved out of her childhood home and in with Naruto and Hinata. She had done this under the guise of wanting to be more independent and that was only living with them until she could find a place of their own. Truth was, she had no intention of leaving.
The three of them had decided to keep the relationship secret, because not only was Naruto married to Hinata, they knew issues could arise if their polyamorous relationship became public. They felt this was especially important, as they feared the controversy could destroy's Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage. Unfortunately, secrecy was no longer an option, as a few days ago, they had discovered Hanabi was pregnant. This was something they initially hoped to avoid, but they always knew this was a possibility. Because of this they decided the best thing to do was tell the truth before Hanabi started to show.
They all decided to Hinata's and Hanabi's father first. They feared there could be dangerous repercussions from this, especially considering the Hyuga Clan would no longer have any legitimate heirs.
Upon arriving at the Hyuga Compond, they were quickly granted an audience with Hiashi Hyuga, Hinata and Hanabi's father and head of the Hyuga Clan.
"Thankyou for seeing us on such short notice Father, I hope we didn't interrupt anything important," stated Hinata bowing to your father.
"No, my schedule was fairly open today," responded Hiashi. "I must say though, I was rather surprised by your visit."
"We have something to tell you. Something important," stated Naruto.
"What is it?" asked Hiashi curiously.
Naruto was about to speak before Hanabi grabbed his arm.
"I think it'll be better if he hears it from me," stated Hanabi.
Naruto nodded.
"Father, there's something I must confess. I didn't move out to seek more independence," confessed Hanabi.
"What do you mean?" asked Hiashi.
Hanabi took a deep breath.
"This won't be easy to hear but, Hinata wasn't the only one who fell in love with Naruto. I to am in love with him," confessed Hanabi. "The three of us have been in a secret relationship for nearly a year and I moved in with them to be closer to them."
"What?" asked Hiashi who had become enraged.
"But that's not all," added Hanabi. "Father, I'm pregnant."
Hiashi was silent for a few minutes before whispering. "Get out."
"Father?" asked Hanabi.
"I SAID GET OUT. ALL OF YOU" yelled Hiashi. "Not only have you disgraced the clan by partaking in a disgusting relationship, but now you are having a child out of wedlock. You're a disgrace to the clan and I want you out of my house right now."
Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi stood up and prepared to leave, but Hiashi wasn't done yet.
"Naruto you will pay for the disgrace you have got brought upon the Hyuga Clan and for what you have done to my daughters."
They left before another word could be spoken.
"Well, that could've gone better," sighed Naruto.
"I think we should just be glad he didn't kill us right then and there," added Hinata who was also trying to calm down a crying Boruto.
Hanabi meanwhile was quiet and silently rubbing her belly.
"Hanabi is something wrong?" asked Hinata.
"I'm scarred Hinata. What if he tries to take my child from me for what I've done?" asked Hinata.
"I don't think we need to worry about that right now. We should just focus on getting you through this for now," stated Hinata.
"And I promise you Hanabi, I'll do everything I can to make sure he doesn't take our child from us," stated Naruto.
"And if I'm honest I'm more worried about you," said Hinata putting her hand on Hanabi's forehead. "What if he tries to brand you with the Caged Bird Seal for this?"
"I guess that is a possibility, but I don't think we have to worry about that right now. He didn't force you to get the Caged Bird Seal and not only did you marry outside the clan, you also changed your last name, meaning you gave up any claim you had to the Hyuga Clan," stated Hanabi.
"That is true. In fact, there may be a way we can use that to our advantage," said Hinata thinking out load.
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.
"Don't worry about it for now. It's a question I'll ask Father after he's hopefully calmed down," stated Hinata.
"Let's hope he calms down. I can't imagine what I'd do if he tries to hurt one of the people I love," said Naruto placing his hand on Hanabi's stomach.
"Naruto I have faith you'll do everything you can to protect me and our child. That's why I love you as much as my sister does," said Hanabi embracing Naruto.
"Anyway, there's one more person I think we should tell," stated Naruto.
"Are you sure you want to tell Kakashi-Sensei on your own. We'd be happy to go in with you," said Hinata.
"No, this is something I think I should do myself," stated Naruto.
"Naruto, if you can't become Hokage because of me, I just want you to know, I'm truly sorry," said Hanabi.
"Don't worry about it," said Naruto smiling. "Being Hokage might be my biggest dream, but I have other dreams I can focus on now. I have Hinata, Boruto, you and soon I'll also have our child."
The three of them headed to the Hokage Office, so they could tell Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage and Naruto's teacher who was currently mentoring Naruto on becoming the next Hokage.
Naruto went in alone and immediately confessed to Kakashi about his secret relationship with the Hyuga sisters and how he was currently expecting a child with Hanabi. Unsurprisingly, Kakashi was disappointed to hear about this news, but he was approaching it much more calmly then Hiashi was.
"Naruto, I hope you understands that this will complicate things for you. Especially with regards to your ambitions of being the next Hokage. The Leaf Village might not want someone in a polygamous relationship leading the village, especially when he has an illegitimate child with one of his partners," stated Kakashi.
"Sensei, I knew the consequences of this relationship when it started. As we both know being Hokage has been a lifelong dream of mine and I am also one to never go back on my word, so I was prepared to do everything I could to become Hokage. That being said, I love them both and I can't imagine my life without them. If being in this relationship prevents me from becoming Hokage, that is a consequence I am willing to face, because making Hinata and Hanabi happy is just as if not more important to me," declared Naruto.
Kakashi sighed and got up from his desk.
"Thankfully for you, your deeds in the recent war still make you the best candidate for the position, so the village might be willing to let you become Hokage, in spite of the outdated relationship you've decided to pursue. And the fact that you're willing to give up your dream for the women you love might work in your favour, as it shows your willing to go above and beyond to protect the people you care about. I'll have a talk with the other village leaders and hopefully I can convince them that training you to be the next Hokage is still in the best interest of the village."
"Thankyou Sensei I appreciate that," said Naruto.
"I can't promise anything though, so I recommend you prepare for the worst," suggested Kakashi.
"I already have," stated Naruto before leaving.
Having told the truth to both Kakashi and Hiashi, the three of them headed home. They continued with their current routine. Naruto went out to train, Hinata stayed behind to look after Boruto and Hanabi also stayed behind to help look after the house. Normally Hanabi would also use this time to get some training in, but she had been told to take it easy until the baby came.
When night fell and it was time for bed, they surprised Hanabi with a change to the relationship rules.
As Hinata was legally married to Naruto throughout the relationship, only she shared a bed with Naruto every night, while Hanabi had to sleep in her own room every night they didn't share quality time together. This was also done to help keep their relationship a secret. Because, the relationship would soon become public knowledge, they decided the rules had to change.
Hanabi had gone to wish them goodnight like she'd always done, when she heard Naruto say, "Hanabi wait, come in a moment."
Hanabi entered to see Naruto and Hinata lying in bed but something was different. Naruto was positioned more in the middle then he usually was.
"We've been talking and we feel we haven't been treating you as an equal in this relationship," stated Naruto.
"While I'm the one whose relationship with Naruto is public and I'm the one he is legally married to, you are just as much a part of this relationship as I am," stated Hinata.
"And so, if you'd like, we'd like you to share our bed with us every night from now on," said Naruto patting the empty space. "But only if you want to."
Hanabi smiled and without saying a word, she climbed into bed with them. Hanabi lay her head on one of Naruto's shoulders, while Hinata lay her head on the other. With that the three of them fell asleep.
The next morning, they had some errands to run and they had all decided to do them together. While they normally all went out together, no one really paid them much attention, but now that their relationship was about to become public, they had a feeling they would get a lot of judgemental stares from now on. They didn't mind however, because as long as they had each other they knew they would be alright.
Little did they know, that some people would find out sooner then others.
"NARUTO," someone loudly screamed.
"Well, I guess we knew this was coming," sighed Naruto, as Hinata and Hanabi laughed.
A pink haired, green-eyed woman ran up to Naruto and grabbed him by the collar.
"Hey Sakura, how you doing?" asked Naruto
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HINATA?" screamed Sakura.
"So, I guess Kakashi Sensei told you the news?" asked Naruto nervously.
"You bet he did and I can't believe you Naruto. Not only did you betray Hinata by seeing her sister behind her back, but now you're gonna have a kid with her," berated Sakura. "How could you cheat on the woman you claim to love?"
"I didn't cheat on her. Didn't Kakashi tell you about the nature of the relationship?" asked Naruto.
"He did, but I don't believe it for a second. Considering how much Hinata loves you, I doubt she would agree to share you with anyone, especially with her own sister," stated Sakura.
"Then it might surprise you to find out that it wasn't actually me that invited Hanabi into the relationship," groaned Naruto. "In fact, I'm not sure if I had much say in the matter at first."
"Wait what?" asked Sakura loosening her grip.
"It's true Sakura. Hanabi came to speak to me because she felt guilty about the feelings she had for Naruto," interjected Hinata. "I'd always had a feeling she liked Naruto to, but upon hearing it from her I felt the only fair thing to do was invite her to join our relationship."
"But why? How can you possibly be ok with that?" asked Sakura.
"Well, my sister's happiness is important to me and I knew being with Naruto would make her happy, so it seemed like the most logical thing to do," stated Hinata.
"And you were ok with this?" asked Sakura turning back to Naruto. "Oh who am I kidding a pervert like you probably loves the fact that he gets to have two women in his life."
"Like I said I didn't really have much say in the matter at first, but I figured why look a gift horse in the mouth?" stated Naruto honestly.
"Do you even love Hanabi or do you just like the fact that you get to have two special people in your life?" asked Sakura.
"I'll admit at first I didn't know her very well, but over the last year I've grown to love her in the same way I love Hinata," answered Naruto.
Sakura threw him to the ground.
"Unbelievable, at first you couldn't get a girl if your life depended on it and now you have two," she groaned. "I'm just glad my husband would never do something so disgusting."
As Sakura said that a man in a green jumpsuit, with a black bowl haircut and bushy eyebrows came running around the corner. He was also carrying a sleeping infant with slightly spiky, dark pink hair. It was Sakura's husband Rock Lee.
"Sakura, I know this news came as a bit of a shock but you didn't have to run off like that," he said. "Also, did you really have to scream? You made poor Metal cry."
"How could I not scream, after discovering Naruto's done something completely disgusting?" asked Sakura.
"Look, while I'll agree the concept of polygamy is a bit outdated, it's not really any of our business what Naruto does in his personal life," stated Lee.
"Don't you defend him," lectured Sakura. "Anyway I don't have time for this, I'm late for my shift at the hospital. Are you ok to take care of Metal for the day?"
"Don't worry Sakura, Metal's in good, youthful hands," said Lee smiling while giving a thumbs up.
"Alright I'll see you tonight," said Sakura, giving Lee a kiss on the cheek. Before leaving she turned to glare at Naruto again. "We will finish this conversation later."
Sakura left and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief over the fact she hadn't beaten him to a pulp.
"You know I knew people might not react positively when the relationship became public, but I didn't think anyone would get that mad," sighed Naruto scratching his head.
"Don't mind her, I think she just needs time for the news to sink in," laughed Lee. "Also I've always felt that you and Sakura have a sibling like relationship, so I can understand why she'd get angry at you when she feels you've done something bad. I'll talk to her when she gets home, hopefully I can calm her down."
"Thanks Lee, I appreciate that," stated Naruto. "Do you have anything you want to say about this."
"Like I said, this relationship might be an outdated concept, but its none of my business how you decide to live your personal life," stated Lee. "I gotta say though you've shown a lot of youthfulness for having two girls fall in love with you. For that I applaud you."
"Thanks I guess," said Naruto.
"Anyway, I'd better get home. Let's just home Metal doesn't wake up again because he's got so much energy it's hard to get him back to sleep," said Lee rocking his son.
Lee left and went about his day.
"I'm glad that's over," sighed Naruto. "Let's just hope this day can't get any more stressful."
Unfortunately, it could, because at that moment, a representative of the Hyuga clan appeared and knelt before the three.
"Lady Hinata, Lady Hanabi, Naruto, Lord Hiashi wishes to see all three of you right away."
Hinata, Naruto and Hanabi all looked at each other nervously. What could Hiashi want to talk to them about. Whatever it was, they had a feeling it wasn't good.
Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi nervously returned to the Hyuga compound. They feared what this conversation with Hiashi would bring, because they knew it would involve the fate both of Hanabi and her unborn child. Whatever happened Naruto was determined to protect one of the women he loved and the child she was carrying.
They went to Hiashi's chamber and found Hiashi waiting for them.
"Hinata, Hanabi, Naruto thank you for coming. Please have a seat," gestured Hiashi.
They all took a seat in front of him. His calm demeanour made them nervous, especially considering how angry he had been the day before.
"Before we begin, I just want to apologise for my outburst the day before," stated Hiashi.
"It's alright Father, we had a feeling the news would come as a shock," said Hinata.
"Indeed, but regardless my behaviour was inexcusable, and I apologise for that," Hiashi reiterated by bowing. "Now let's get to the point. I'm sure you know why I've called the three of you here?"
"Does it have to do with Hanabi and her baby?" asked Naruto.
"Yes," sighed Hiashi. "The three of you have caused a lot of trouble for me, as I arguably have no legitimate heir to take over as head of the Hyuga Clan. With Hinata marrying outside the clan and taking her husband's surname, she has forfeited any right she has to being clan leader, which also extends to her son Boruto. As for Hanabi, she has become pregnant out of wedlock from entering an… unusual relationship."
"What does that mean for me?" asked Hanabi.
Hiashi took a breath before answering. It was clear he didn't like what he had to tell them.
"Normally it would result in your banishment from the clan, along with the branding of the Caged Bird Seal," stated Hiashi.
"In other words, she can no longer be heir to the Hyuga Clan?" asked Naruto.
"Indeed, in situations like this, we would normally pass clan leadership to the next in line. Sadly, that is no longer possible," stated Hiashi.
They all bowed their heads in sadness as they remembered the passing of Neji, Hinata's cousin who had given his life to save Hinata and Naruto's in the recent war.
"I noticed you said this is what you would normally do. Is there an alternative in this case?" asked Hinata.
"There is, but you're not going to like it. I've talked to the clan elders and they've agreed to have Hanabi reinstated as heir, provided she agrees to the following conditions. She is to leave her relationship with Naruto, return home and her child is to be raised as a Hyuga. The child will never know its father and the child will eventually become a part of the branch family!" explained Hiashi.
"The Branch Family, but if I'm to be reinstated as heir shouldn't my child be the one next in line for leadership. Will my child even know I'm its mother?" asked Hanabi.
"Unfortunately, your child becoming clan heir isn't possible. Due to the illegitimacy of its conception, it would be dishonourable to name it clan heir. Furthermore, as your child will only be half Hyuga we can't guarantee it will inherit the Byakugan, further damaging its legitimacy as clan heir," stated Hiashi. "As for your other question, your child will be allowed to know you are their mother and you will be permitted to be a part of your child's life. But it will never be in the main family, only the branch family. To make up for what you've done, you will be allocated an acceptable partner within the clan, through whom you will produce legitimate heirs. This is the only option I can offer Hanabi I recommend you take it."
Hanabi looked like she could nearly cry.
"I can't do that father, I can't befall my child to the same fate as Neji, because I know it'll eventually grow to hate me. Also I don't want to leave Naruto, I love him. And how can you expect me to raise my child and not let them know who their father is?"
"Then I'm afraid you are to be banished from the clan and branded with the Cadged Bird Seal," stated Hiashi.
"Hold on," interjected Hinata. "Before you do anything to Hanabi I have a question. I've given up my rights to the clan and I wasn't branded with the Cadged Bird Seal. Did taking Naruto's surname prevent this from happening?"
"Yes, by marrying Naruto and taking his surname, we lost any right we had to use the Cadged Bird Seal on you," answered Hiashi.
"Does that mean Hanabi would be safe from the seal if she took my surname?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, if Hanabi were to take your surname, she would be protected from getting the seal. Unfortunately, you'd have to make sure she's protected until you are able to do so, because once the clan elders hear that she has denied returning, the clan will want her brought back and branded immediately," stated Hiashi.
"Then we'll just have to make sure she's protected until we can change her name," stated Naruto before turning to Hanabi. "Provided that's what you want, I wouldn't ask you to do anything you didn't want to do."
Hanabi embraced Naruto.
"If it means I get to stay with you and our child is protected, I'll do whatever I have to," she cried.
"Then its settled. Lord Hiashi, we're leaving, don't try and stop us because as strong as you are we both know I'm stronger and I'll do whatever I have to protect both Hinata and Hanabi," declared Naruto.
"I am not going to try and stop you. I have caused my children enough pain, I am not going to be the cause of anymore. If being with you is what Hanabi wants then I'll accept it," stated Hiashi. "Go, I'll tell them you needed time to think about your decision."
"Thank you, father," said Hanabi,
The three of them got up to leave, but Hiashi had one more thing to say. "Naruto take care of my daughters."
"I will I promise," declared Naruto and the trio left.
After they had gone Hiashi couldn't help but sigh at the whole situation.
"Naruto what is it about you that allowed you to capture the heart of not one, but both of my daughters?"
After leaving they immediately headed to the Hokage's office to tell Kakashi about the situation. Kakashi was once again annoyed by this, but nevertheless agreed to help Naruto in any way he could. Not only would he help them in getting Hanabi's name changed, but he also agreed to help protect her until they were able to do so. The issue was that Kakashi was having trouble finding Shinobi who were willing to stand guard around the Uzumaki home.
Before the end of the day, word had spread through the entire village that Naruto had taken a second wife. Kakashi felt that this wouldn't be too big a deal. While he knew the other village leaders would have some issues with Naruto taking a second wife. He believed the other villagers would simply accept it, given all the good Naruto had done for not just the village but the entire world. Little did they know trio's troubles were just beginning.
Thanks for reading. Like I said, for those who are fans of the original, you'll have noticed that nothing much has changed so far, but the next chapter will show how the village reacted to Naruto taking a second wife and what they plan to do in response to the villagers.
Until next time, thanks again for reading. Please leave a review. I would love to hear what you think, especially if it helps improve the story.
