Kiba stormed down the halls of the Hokage building. Rage like he had never felt before coursing through his veins. He couldn't believe it. After all these years. After everything they went through together. She had lied to him. To all of them.

Bursting through the big double doors, Kiba jostled into the ANBU guard as he headed straight for his Hokage. The shouts of the guards and people in the room fell on deaf ears as he stared straight into her bright blue eyes, grabbed her by her throat, lifted her out of her chair, and rammed her against the wall.

"Why wasn't I told!" he hissed. "Why didn't you tell me!"

Naruto held up her hand to stop the guards from acting. No matter how off Kiba was acting he was still her friend and she was curious as to what was wrong with him.

"What are you talking about, Kiba?"

He slammed her against the wall again. "Why didn't you tell me?" he said again, a snarl echoing deep in his throat. "I should have been told. The moment you made me his Sensei I should have been told!" he yelled spittle flying from his mouth. "Does Shikamaru even know?"

"Do I know what?" Shikamaru drawled from his right. Fingers poised and ready to activate his kagemane at any moment should Kiba pose a threat to Naruto.

"Do you know that Kaien isn't your son!"

Gasps filled the room as Naruto's eyes widened. All was quiet as everyone in the area waited to hear Naruto's response, but the one thing no one expected to hear was the quiet little voice that rang in the silence.

"Shikamaru's... not my father?"

Everyone turned to look at the young ebony haired genin standing with his two teammates. "Kaien.." Naruto started but the young boy took off as soon as she spoke his name. Turning back to the man in front of her she ordered, "Let me go Kiba."

"Naruto what is he talking about?" Sakura, who had been at the meeting, questioned.

"Oh, didn't she tell you?" he sneered. "Kaien is-"

"Kiba don't do this." Naruto pleaded, tears starting to fill her eyes.

"What, don't want everyone to know who his real father is?"

"I'm his father." Shikamaru stated firmly.

"Like hell you are." he growled to Shikamaru. But one look at him and he knew. "You know? Don't you? All this time you both knew and never told us."

"Told us what?" This time it was Hinata who questioned him. She had been inching slowly towards her husband in hopes that she could get him to let go of their friend.

"That Kaien is Sasuke's son!" he yelled as he shoved Naruto towards her husband. Shikamaru caught her and wrapped his arms around her gently to help her stand on her own two feet.

Naruto's hand came up to rub her neck tenderly as she refused to look at anyone in the deathly silent room. They know! They know! Echoed in her head as she stared at the floor.

Too deep into her inner turmoil she failed to hear the click of heels cross the wooden floor, and was back-handed across the face.

Raising her hand to her cheek she turned shocked eyes to see Sakura standing before her, hand still in the air. "How could you!" she raged. "You knew how I felt about him. How much I loved him. How much I wanted to be with him." Tears quickly started to overflow down her face. "How could you do that to me."

Overcoming her shock Naruto looked at her friends. Seeing the hurt and disappointment in their eyes ignited a spark within her. "Don't give me that bullshit, Sakura! You, all of you, have no right to judge me. Don't act as if you didn't know! All of you, like everyone else in this village, have absolutely no right to get angry with me!" she yelled.

"Look underneath the underneath, right? Just look at my son and tell me that none of you actually saw that just maybe he might be related to Sasuke!" By now she wasn't quite sure what had taken her over, but after the years of mistreatment as a child she was finally was going to say the things she's had on her mind. "Tell me!" she demanded.

"I'm blonde. Shika is a brunette, and you all are telling me that in the twelve years Kaien has been alive none of you have questioned where the blue tinted ebony hair came from? None of you!" she snorted. "Just like when I was a kid. right? Blonde hair and blue eyes and no one thought, 'Huh doesn't that little boy look like the Yondaime?' You all chose not to see it because you didn't want to and I won't have you giving me shit because I didn't tell you!"

She turned to look at Shikamaru, rose onto her tiptoes and kissed him on the corner of his lips. "I'm going to find our son." she spoke spoftly and pushed pass the shinobi staring at her.

Sakura made to grab her, but Shikamaru quickly took hold of her wrist. "Let her go Sakura. She needs to check on our son."

"But he isn't your son!" she shot back harshly.

"I have raised that boy since the day he was born." he spoke cleary so nobody would ever question him on it again. "I was there every time he woke up crying in the middle of the night. Every cold he had I helped take care of him. Ever dream, every nightmare, every time he fell, every achievement, every moment of his life I have been there. There is no doubt in my mind that that boy is MY son! Mine!" he pointed to himself. "I don't care which man put his DNA into him to help bring him into this world, because it will never change the fact that he is and will forever be my son!"

With those words hanging in the air Shikamaru left to go find his wife and the son not of his blood, but of his heart.

Naruto ran out of her office, down the hall, and out of the building. She had to find her son. To explain to him what had happened. Why he was here. Why his parents did what they did.

She quickly activated Sennin Mode and searched the entire village for his chakra. Looking in the direction she felt it in a small smile tugged at her lips.

She ran to the west side of town, through the market place, over the creek, and up the largest hill that overlooked that side of the village. On the top were several tall trees, and she found him sitting with his back against the biggest one. The same one she used to lay with Shikamaru underneath before Kaien was born. The same one they used to take Kaien to play under and have picnics. The very same one that she had so often come to to find her children alseep under, curled up next to their father.

Sighing, she slowly walked over and sat down next to her baby. While not much of a baby anymore, being twelve and a genin, she knew, as every mother knew, that he would always be her baby. Whether he liked it or not.

She looked to him and he was silently crying. Tears running down his face she reached out to pull him to her. She wanted nothing more then to hold him as he cried, but he slapped the hand that reached out to him.

"Don't touch me." he didn't yell. He was calm. Very, very calm, and it scared her a little.

"Kaien, honey..." she started. "Will you please talk to me. Let me explain."

"No!" he stood. Fists shaking at his sides. "I don't want to hear anymore lies!"

"Sit down, son."

Kaien whirled around and came face to face with the man he had thought his entire life was his father only to find out he wasn't. A man he loved so much had spent years lying to him. He didn't want to hear anything out of his mouth. "I'm not your son!" He shouted for the first time.

He started to walk away, but was quickly grabbed by the shoulders and spun around. He looked into deep brown eyes. He had never in his life seen his father look so stern. Shikamaru had been a lazy, but respectable father. He let Kaien do pretty much whatever he wanted within reason, and was there for him when he failed. To impart his wisdom about why things happened the way they did and what he could to do to make things better. He had always had so much respect for this man standing in front of him. Had loved him, trusted him, but he lied and all that trust and respect and love was gone.

"Listen to me well, Kaien." he leaned down so they were of a more even height. "You are my son. You will always be my son. Even when this is all over. When you have listened to your mother and I and have heard the whole story. Even if you decide you don't want me as your father. That doesn't change the fact that to me, you are my son. Now sit and listen to your mother."

Kaien knew that if Shikamaru wanted to he could kagemane him to sit there the entire time. But Shikamaru walked over to his mother and sat next to her and leaned against the tree as Naruto leaned into him. He closed his eyes and just held her hand.

They were giving him a choice. If he wanted to leave they'd have actually let him. And while he wanted to leave he appreciated that they were giving him a choice. So he sat with his legs crossed in front of him and waited for them to start.

"Before I tell you everything I want to know something first." Naruto stated. With a nod from Kaien she continued. "What happened on your mission with Kiba?"

Kaien titled his head to the right and thought about what he wanted to say. "We went to deliver the scroll to Uncle Gaara. Everything was fine actually. We did what we were supposed to, stayed the night, and headed home the next day. The first day was normal and then the second day we came across some rogue shinobi. Kiba-sensei and Akamaru got separated with Hikaru. I was by myself as I fought of one of them. Then I heard Mayu-chan scream." he was looking at the ground. Tracing unknown patterns in the grass.

"I knocked my guy out and ran to where I heard her. One man had her pinned down and the other was laughing and egging his buddy on. The things they were saying it pissed me off! I felt this uncontrollable rage build inside me at the things they said they'd do to Mayu-chan. I don't remember what happened next." He scratched the back of his head.

"Everything went black, or white, or red I don't really know. The next thing I know Mayu-chan is next to me and I'm covered in blood. I killed them." he grew quiet. Naruto made to reach out to him, opened her mouth to say something, but Shikamaru stopped her. Pantomimed for her to hush and they waited for Kaien to continue.

"The next thing I do remember is Kiba-sensei in front of me checking to see if the blood was mine. I told him it wasn't that I killed the two men. Mayu-chan was scared still and shaking. I noticed because she was holding the back of my shirt and it was making me jerk a bit. Kiba-sensei asked me to explain what had happened. I tried. I started with how I found Mayu-chan, and as I was explaining I felt that rage again. Like I wished they were still alive so I could kill them again. I told this to sensei, and when I looked up at him he looked like I had punched him in the gut.

"Then he got angry really angry and started cursing, and damning you mom. I didn't know what I had done wrong. He was in such a rush to get back. Talking about how he was going to kick your ass. I didn't understand, but I do now. Sort of. And I feel pretty much the kind of rage at this moment." There he finally looked at them.

Naruto's soft gasp drew Shikamaru to open his eyes and look as well. There spinning lazily was one perfect tomoe of an underdeveloped Sharingan.

At Kaien's confused look Naruto smiled softly and grabbed a mirror out of her weapons pouch. "Take a look." she said.

He took the mirror and was surprised at what stared back at him. He had never seen anything like it in his life. "What.. What is that?" he asked reaching as if to actually touch his eye.

"That Kaien, is the Sharingan. A blood line dojustu passed down to you from your biological father." He was curious she could tell. While Sasuke is his father Shikamaru raised him, and she could see his brain working through hundreds of possiblities much like it would in her husband.

"We..." and here she gestured between Shika and herself, "weren't hiding this from you. We planned to tell you when you were sixteen. This is a long story so get comfortable, and I'll leave out some of the more adult scenes from the story as well." She smiled when his face turned a little green.

"Your biological fathers name is Uchiha Sasuke. He was my best friend and teammate along wth your Aunt Sakura. But he was also considered a traitor, a deserter, and was an international war criminal. This is the story of the last few days on his life, and how he gave up everything for his family. And in the end realized that one person's happiness was worth more to him then his life."

Yes I am aware that I called Naruto a boy. It's supposed to be that way.
