"Would you stop pacing, Naruto?! You're giving me a migraine!" Kushina yelled and scolded her daughter as Naruto wouldn't stop walking back and forth within the kitchen.
"Then stop biting your nails! You're stressing me out too!" Naruto voiced strongly back to her mother.
They were both in the kitchen filled with worry. It had been just over three hours ever since Tobirama was locked within the living area with Naruto's most precious men in her life. Her Godfather, Jiraiya. Her father, Minato. Her teacher, Kakashi and his lover, Iruka. The four men had completely sealed the living room shut from the two Uzumaki women and left them to phantom the possibilities. Somehow, they all ended up in a negative way.
Kurama was in his human form, reading a book as he sipped on his cup of coffee at the kitchen table. "Don't fret over this, women. Naruto, you trust that water-boy and Kushina, you've taken a great liking to your future son-in-law. Trust that he'll do right with the Dolphin. There's no need to worry about those other Ningen. He's dead serious about Naruto. Trust him."
Kushina's brow twitched and threw an apple at Kurama's head. He swiftly ate it in one bite. "Shut it, foxy! Of course I trust Tobirama and already see him as my future son. It's Minato I'm worried about. That man's emotional as it is! Do you know how long it will take for me to cheer that man up?! He's handing over his only daughter to another man already! Jiraiya won't be making it any easier with his pervy comments!"
Naruto added in her two cents of stress. "What will I do if Iruka-sensei kills Tobirama, Kaa-chan?! I've imprinted on him and those shitty men won't even let me be with Tobirama to talk about this! Tobirama even agreed on it and sent me out like I'm some 5 year old."
"Well let's be honest, Kit. You went ahead and visited Tobirama's family without him knowing, for their permission to be with him. It's his turn to take the wheel. He is a man and you can't just brush him aside and take the lead constantly. It will damage and hurt a man's pride. Making him think that he's not a man enough to take care of you. Kushina, so what if Minato gets emotional. Fix him up by showing your goods. You're still young to carry another 1 or 2 babes with the blondie."
Kushina went to retort when her mind when to wonder and grinned. "No complaining there. It's been a while since I last laid my hands on my man. What do you think, Naruto? Does a sibling sound nice? Even at your age."
Naruto looked to her mother in thought. "That would be awesome! Dattebayo! But this is dad we're talking about. Sex isn't just going to distract him from living my life with Tobirama. He'd probably want for us to live together till I'm in my fifties."
"That's true." Kushina sighed before she got an evil gleam in her eyes and looked to Kurama. "You know, I've heard your talks to Jiraiya about your time with Matatabi. You don't happen to have those 'toys' on you, do ya? I think it's time I discipline Minato a bit. He may be a Hokage, but I'm still his wife."
Naruto wanted to cringe at the crude remark, but looked to Kurama with a raised brow. "Mind if I borrow some too? As much as I love Tobirama, I'm not just ready to give up my dominance on him just yet."
Kurama smirked with a glint in his eyes. "Now this is why I like you Uzumaki women. Always entertaining and good to chat with." He looked to the living room door and winked at the scheming red-head and blonde. "We'll talk more about this later. It seems they're done."
Kushina and Naruto rushed to stand a few metres from the door and stood expectantly. First, Jiraiya came out with a large grin and held up two thumbs. "He's got my vote, brat. He's got a good head on his shoulders and I can see the both of you working and living together fluidly." Jiraiya approved of Tobirama and spotted Kurama. Quickly walked over to the Bijū and started a light and perverted conversation with the fox.
Kushina placed a light hand on Naruto's shoulder as her daughter sighed in relief. Naruto really wanted for these men to accept Tobirama.

Kakashi walked out next with heavy shoulders, but a bright eye smile as he spoke. "I approve, Naruto, Kushina-san. Tobirama has explained wisely what his intentions are and specifically what his feelings are towards Naruto. I have no complaints and he knows what's going to happen if he does wrong." Patting Naruto's head before joining in on Jiraiya and Kurama's conversation. It was surprisingly easy to talk to the immortal chakra-being.

Naruto felt her heart speed up when her father walk out with puffy red eyes, yet he had a small tired grin on his face. "Dad…?" Naruto whispered hopefully.
Minato wiped his eyes and nodded. "He's a good man, Naru-chan. He has my blessing and my trust." Minato locked eyes with his daughter and started crying again.
Kushina sighed at her overly-sensitive husband and went to go comfort him in another room. Yes, comfort is what Kushina had in mind.
Naruto didn't stop her mother. They thought alike.

'So far so good.' Naruto mused, yet her heart was still racing as her palms grew sweaty. Her eyes widening as Iruka came out with a blank expression.
Iruka approached Naruto and placed a steady hand on her shoulder. "Naruto, you know how much I love and care for you, right?" he asked calmly and saw her nod with her eyes swimming in warmth as she touched his hand that was on her shoulder. "I just have one question for you before I give my verdict."
"Okay…?" Naruto whispered and swallowed the lump in her throat. Where was Tobirama? Oh Dear Kami. 'Please don't tell me Iruka-sensei killed him already! Castrations! Bodily harm!' Naruto wished to rush and check on Tobirama, but right now as Iruka's question had captured most of her attention.
"How much do you love him, Naruto? Tell me honestly." Iruka dropped the lingering question that had been in his mind ever since Naruto told him about the Second Hokage. Out of everybody she could give her heart and soul to, it was a Hokage. The Second Hokage of the Senju clan, no less.
Naruto didn't hesitate. "I would live for him." Her eyes burning with conviction.
Iruka released Naruto and crouched on the ground. "Damnit. Damnit. He said the exact same thing. Tobirama wouldn't die for you, but he'd live for you. Saying that…"
"If I died for him, it would be painful for him to live his life. I'd want Tobirama to live for me." Naruto explained her choice of words with a soft smile as she looked down to Iruka. "And I would live for him."
Iruka waved a hand dismissively as he couldn't look at Naruto. "Just go to him already before I change my mind." Naruto had grown so much over the years that Iruka wondered where that little prankster went at times. 'I guess even kids like Naruto falls in love. Damnit. I'm mad and happy at the same time.'
Naruto frowned and knelt before Iruka. Wrapping her arms around him tightly and whispered softly in his ear. "Don't forget, Iruka-sensei, I'll always love you too and never forget about you. You'll always be a big brother to me. The responsible big brother that I'll always be able to talk to since Kakashi-sensei is a big pervert and Kurama is insensitive. You're my number 1 nii-san." Releasing Iruka and walked into the living room. Closing the door behind her.
Iruka sighed as tears streamed down his face. "Damn, they grow so fast."
Kakashi, Jiraiya and Kurama and all sighed from the table. "Yeah."
Naruto:
Naruto walked into the living room area and found the atmosphere extremely heavy. "Tobirama? Are in you in here?" Naruto voiced aloud to the empty room as she couldn't spot her partner anywhere. 'At least those men didn't close the curtains to make the room gloomier.' Naruto closed the door behind her and stepped further into the room with a frown. "Iruka-sensei couldn't have killed him already. Right?" she muttered and looked behind the curtains and behind the couches to find the blue Hokage. "Nothing." Naruto sighed. "Where is that idiot?" Naruto was tempted to just leave her house despite all the tension she built up worrying over Tobirama's well-being. She really wanted to know what happened and then again, she didn't want to hear a word. Naruto stood in the middle of the room and sighed heavily. Seriously, where was that man?! "EEP!" Naruto squealed in shock as strong arms encircled her waist and soon found herself on her back, looking to the ceiling. She glared lightly as Tobirama's face came into view. That sly smirk on his face made Naruto want to punch him. Naruto opted to flicking his nose. "Where the heck were you?! I was worried!"
Tobirama placed his hands either side of his beloved's head and lowered his face to her. Barely touching noses as he whispered. "I was around. Just watching you trying to find me. Very cute indeed." Placing a light kiss on her nose that made her blush lightly. "I've got you now, My Blonde Vixen." Kissing lightly around her jaw.
Naruto giggled and tried to push Tobirama away. "S-stop it…it t-tickles." Pulling his face away and held his head in her hands. "Mind telling me why you're wearing a genjutsu on your face, Tobi-love." She was soon wearing Tobirama's sly smirk when a tinge of pink dusted his cheeks.
Tobirama sighed and released the henge.
Naruto's eyes widen and bursted out laughing. "I knew it!" The blonde chortled and ignored Tobirama's glare. "I knew you wouldn't get off unharmed!" Naruto died down her laughter and tightly traced his busted lip with a soft finger. One of his eyes was black and blue as his nose looked a bit busted. There were slight cuts on his face with Naruto reaching up and kissed each injury. "Thank you." she whispered tenderly and leaned up to hug him tightly. "Even if your face is busted up, i still find you handsome."
Tobirama hugged his partner back and snuggled into her neck with a heavy sigh. "I thought I was going to die. Your family is crazy." He muttered and gained a light giggle from Naruto. Tobirama felt Naruto push him onto his back and allowed her to do so. Looking up to his Angel with a raised brow. "Can I help you, Love?"
Naruto ignored her burning cheeks at the name he gave her and ran her hands over his toned chest. Leaning down to whisper. "Just checking where else those protective men have harmed my Water-boy." Caressing his abs and elicited a strangled groan from the man beneath her. Naruto smirked as she inspected his body slowly and lightly. Watching as Tobirama wouldn't give her the pleasure of showing how he felt on his face, but Naruto could see it all in his eyes. "You're good." Naruto whispered in his ear and leapt off him. Walking over to the exit and looked over her shoulder. Seeing his confused look as he gazed to her from still on the floor. "Is something wrong, Love?" Naruto found her new pastime. Teasing Tobirama.
Tobirama sat up and looked to Naruto with a confused frown. "I don't think so…I just…thought that…you know. We'd…" he coughed nervously and looked away.
Naruto giggled and walked back over to Tobirama. Patting his head lightly before turning his head to look at her. "As much as I'd love to be mated with you…" Placing a finger on his advancing lips and said clearly. "I'm old school, Tobirama. No matter how tempted I am to have you in me, I want to wait till we're married. Can you accept this one condition?"
Tobirama wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and pulled her onto his lap. Placing a gentle kiss on her lips and replied. "As much as it's killing me to have you, I will respect your wishes, Naruto. You mean everything to me that not even time can separate us. I want to be with you more than anything and to start our lives together." He kissed her neck and locked eyes with her. "The reason why my face is like this is because of your father. I asked for his permission for you to live with me…in a certain cottage by the forest."
Naruto's eyes widen in shock as she gasped. "Y-you…"
"Yes, Naruto. I rebuilt the cabin while you were out declining the marriage proposals. It was also why I haven't been sleeping lately. I would like for us to live together in the home that connects us." Waiting patiently for her answer and added on. "I'll understand if you don't want to live together right now, but remember, I'm willing to wait for eternity for you. I can wait."
Naruto leaned into Tobirama with her head resting on his shoulder. "Forever." She muttered softly. Just loud enough for him to hear.
Tobirama held Naruto tighter. "Forever and beyond then."
4 months later: Tobirama and Naruto's home
Tobirama gazed down to his sleeping beauty and traced her jawline softly as she slept. It had taken some time for the village to come to terms with their relationship. Mainly, Naruto's female friends. Every moment with Naruto in their home had been the best days of his life. Tobirama wasn't afraid to admit that he was totally smitten and deep in-love with the blonde resting in their bed. Tobirama leaned down and pressed a tender kiss on the lips he loved so much. Gently waking his fiancé from her sleep and smiled softly at her as her eyes opened slowly. "Morning Beautiful." He voiced deeply.
Naruto blushed and returned Tobirama's smile. "Honey, it is only 7 o'clock. Why'd you wake me up this early?" reaching a hand out of the covers and caressed his check where his red tattoo was. She wasn't mad, but she was tired. Last night was a long and draining night. It was their engagement party after all…except it was celebrated with the entire village. Naruto had to slip away after three hours with Tobirama managing to fight through his crying fandom a couple of hours later. They had slept the night away in each other's embrace and didn't care about the engagement gits at the moment.
Tobirama chuckled and laid down next to her. Tucking her into his body with her sliding in place perfectly. "Guess what tomorrow is, Naru-koi." He whispered in her ear as he placed light kisses around her face.
Naruto was still getting use to his affections yet she groaned as she pushed his face away. He knew she'd attack him if he kept it up, that's why he does it, but Naruto had enough will to hold on for a while longer. She looked him deep in his velvet red eyes and replied. "Saturday."
Tobirama smirked and pecked her lips. "And it's the first day of spring." He added.
Naruto looked confused as she gazed to him. "I don't get it. What aren't you telling me?" wrapping her arms tightly around his middle and rolled them over so he was on his back and rested her chin on his chest.
The blue Hokage chuckled and tucked a strand of loose blonde hair behind her ear. "Tomorrow is when we officially become Husband and Wife. Did you forget already? Tomorrow is going to be our very private and very small wedding ceremony before the village wide wedding in two months."
Naruto's eyes lit up in remembrance and happiness. "Ahh that's right. Our big day." Naruto purred and snuggled into his chest. Releasing a long and heavy sigh.
Tobirama patted Naruto's back and replied. "Are you okay, Naruto? Are you having doubts about getting married this quickly? I can reschedule the wedding and have…"
Naruto slapped a hand over Tobirama's lips and sighed again. Looking down at him and said clearly. "I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever so stop fretting over it. But after we get married comes our first night together as man and woman." She was him frown a bit and added on bluntly. "I'm a virgin, Tobirama."
"You shouldn't worry about that, Love." Tobirama whispered tenderly and stroked her hair gently. "I'll take good care of you and be gentle. It will hurt at first, but I'll be there with you and hold you with all the love I possess."
Naruto flushed a deep shade of red and flicked his nose. "I k-know that…" she huffed before she confessed. "I'm just iffy that you've already done it with other women, that's all. It would be nice to be your first too, Dattebayo."
"Naruto, I wasn't a virgin when we met over fifty years ago." Tobirama muttered with Naruto whacking over the head with a pillow. He lightly glared at his fiancé. "What now?"
Naruto rolled her eyes. "I kind of figured that out a long time ago that you were quite the player despite being aloof." She tapped his lips playfully with a teasing smile. "I'm just glad that I caught you in the end and that this…" she groped his firm bicep. "Body is all mine after those vowels are exchanged."
Tobirama threw Naruto a dirty and lustful looked. "Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, you're going to be the death of me before those vowels are even uttered. But be warned, My Love, as soon as the Minister allows me to claim the lips of my wife, I will be bringing you straight back here and to this bed to make 50 odd years' worth of love to you." he rolled them over till his fiancé was pinned beneath him. Hearing her giggle made his heart explode and littered her neck and face with butterfly kisses. "And I don't ever plan on letting you go. Forever…"
"…And beyond then." Naruto whispered breathlessly.
5 year later: Senju Cottage
The 22 years old Naruto sat on the living room couch looking to the paper before her in disbelief. "Oh my Kami…" she whispered in shock and stood up suddenly and moved into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She noticed that her hands were trembling and gulped in the air as she swallowed the water. She closed her eyes tightly when she felt strong arms encircle her waist tightly as her blonde hair was moved out of the way of her neck. Naruto instinctively craned her neck to give better access to her mate.
"You're not going to work today, Love?" Tobirama whispered huskily as he lapped at her pulse point. "It would be bad if the Hokage was late for work, but I'm sure the village will survive without their leader for an hour or so." Tobirama suggested but stopped kissing his wife's neck when she didn't respond to him. "Naruto? Is everything okay?" Turning his wife around to look her in the eyes, yet she didn't meet his gaze. "Love, what is it?" holding her face lightly between his calloused palms.
Naruto drew in a shaky breath as the paper in her hand crumbled in her fist. "Tobirama…" she started of softly and slowly looked him in the eyes. "We need to talk."
Tobirama froze. "No." his voiced cracked. "No, no, no, no. You're not doing this right now, Naruto. You can't be doing this to me!" Tobirama stormed out of the kitchen and assumed the worst case scenario.
Naruto frowned and followed after her husband. Seeing that he was about to walk out and shouted at her stubborn partner. "I'm 3 weeks pregnant!"
Tobirama froze once more. His hand on the handle of the door and slowly faced his wife with his eyes large at what she said. "W-what…?"
Naruto unfolded the paper and held it before him with a shaky and soft smile. "We're going to be parents, Tobirama. I'm going to be a mother." Tears of happiness were pooling at her eyes.
"F-father…me?" he pointed to himself with a shaky finger. "Y-you mean, you're not s-sick…y-you were…"
"I'm pregnant." Naruto stated again with confidence. "I'm going to be a mother and you're going to be a father."
"Parents." Tobirama muttered and zoned in on her belly. Moving slowly over to the blonde that captured his heart and placed a hand on her middle. Looking to her in her eyes. "I'm going to be a father…"
"I'm going to be a mother." Naruto replied and squealed when Tobirama picked her up and spun them around.
"I'm going to be a father!" he shouted in joy and kissed Naruto all over her face as she laughed and cried in delight. "A father!" He stopped spinning and held her tightly.
"A mother!" Naruto cheered along with her husband and mate. Bringing their foreheads together and smiled brightly at him as she slipped her arms around his shoulders. "Baa-chan believes that there is a high chance of our baby being a girl."
"Which means our baby is most likely to be a boy." Tobirama sat with Naruto in his arms on the couch. Holding her closely and kissed her lips. "Our dear Hokage is going to have a baby."
"I'm not a Hokage in this home of ours, Tobi-love." Naruto scolded and laced her fingers with his.
Tobirama's lip twitched and caught sight of her wrist. "I know the perfect name if you're interested." Seeing his wife and Hokage raise a slender brow on question. She must thought he was mad to have a name already chosen that they'd both approve of. Especially since her parents are currently having their 'third' child already. Names were kind of hard to come by now that were truly unique and capable with each family. Tobirama brought her wrist into view and kissed the inside of her hand. "How does Madara sound for our son?"
Naruto's eyes bugged out at what her husband was saying. His gaze moved to the bracelet on her arm, which Madara made for her, that he was holding with Naruto looking to Tobirama with soft and teary eyes. "Really, Tobirama?"
"Yeah. Really." He whispered and kissed her cheek. "I'd be more than happy to name our son after Madara Uchiha."
Naruto burst into tears and kissed Tobirama passionately on the lips. Mumbling through the kiss. "I love you, Tobirama Senju."
Tobirama chuckled. "I love you too, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." Holding Naruto close to his frame as his eyes wondered to the single seat on the other side of the lounge. Seeing an astral figure of the namesake of his unborn son gazing to Naruto with love, adoration and respect. Their eyes locked with Tobirama nodding at the ghostly figure of Madara.
Madara said nothing and returned the nod. A ghost of a smile touched his lips as he parted with the wind. He would wait for Naruto in the Pure World.
Tobirama smiled and looked to his wife. She was happy and so was he. "Forever…"
"And beyond then." Naruto completed.
