Chapter One

---

Raiden took her Uncle's hand in her tiny pink, manicured hand and walked close to him. She was really tiny and looked so delicate beside the well rusted man. The little girl was about her guardian's knee high, and he himself was a good tall-tall height. With hair as fluffy and white as a sheep's, and huge circle eyes, it was hard to see a relation to the tall blonde that accompanied the maiden. Her cloak was white and had pink flowers, and she pulled the fur collar around her face as young Raiden really infatuated with the colour white. Her cheek pressed against him, and the gruff man just grunted and pulled the little girl close to him. She shuffled her feet, turning her footsteps into a long line instead of individual footprints. The tall Gennin let go of her hand and wrapped her arm around her afraid she might disappear like a ghost.

She looked up at him with her pretty face, his tan face was an odd sight seeing as it want winter travelling with a girl that was as white as a bone. His hair was dirty looking, and his face cut into someone who was more of a Western Swordsman than a ancient ninja.

The Sannin's daughter lead the way and with her searching eyes, they seemed to glide through the crowded street like fish. Her eyes were looking everywhere, everything was so bright. Not even the Sand Country was this fantastic. It had to be the most glorious village she had ever been to. "I hear the Hokage is a handsome model too, he poses for the magazines. He's a big celebrity, Uncle. Can I get his autograph, pleeeease?"

"No, Raiden." Jiraya had a strange choice of names, but then again Jiraya wasn't expecting a girl or wasn't even expecting to be expecting a girl. He was still surprised at even his age he would keep the kid.

"Uncle, Konoha is amazing, I love the Fire Country. How comes you or mommy won't take me here more often."

"Because people I hate live here."

The words caused Raiden to stop, which caused the tired Uncle to stop to and wait for his bratty niece to follow suit. "we can't stop, Raiden, we have to keep moving." She didn't budge. "C'mon, the sooner the better."

Naruto pulled the scarf to his face, it was convenient to travel now because no was going to search so many people when it was snowing. The only hassle was that he had to carry so many things like books and clothes because he was travelling with a child. Jiraya could care for the the child alone, weaker and older than he was since he last seen in public.

Suddenly, the little girl burst out, kicking the loose snow around her feet, more happy than angry. "That's no good! We won't come back! I hate this place!"

Naruto was taken back. He really hated Sasuke more like it, but he would tolerate his face and body for Raiden's sake. "Ha ha ha. So fast?"

"Any enemy of Uncle is an enemy of me!" She thumbed at herself with a triumphant smile.

"You mean mine."

"Yeah," she reached into his sleeve, "hee hee." Her hands were so cold, so it was good Naruto had warm, sweaty hands.

"Ah, Hayate." The publisher waved down Naruto in the street. It was so close the the deadline that it had to be hand delivered or it would not have made it on time and Jiraya was in no state to move about on his own in such bad weather. Maybe if the weather was not as cold, he wasn't so young anymore.

"Here is the manuscript for the next book." Naruto handed off the package, without so much as batting an eye. He and Raiden needed to get out of Konoha as soon as possible. He looked back at the gates and noticed they were still new Jounin's that had never seen his face and it wouldn't remain like that for so long.

The publisher bowed and hurried back to the buildings where his meal was waiting and getting cold. "D Rank Mission accomplished," Raiden beamed. She looked at the man gleefully looking over the work and sending a thumbs up in their direction, "do you think mommy will pay us."

"Nope."

She slouched, "aww..."

Naruto shifted his bags. "After this we can go home and see, Jiraya."

"But I'm hungry, we've been travelling for days."

"Two days, Raiden." They had to stay on track.

"Please." She begged.

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

He couldn't look down at his little niece, he new she was using her cursed eyes on him.

Without realising her eyes met with his.

Her yellow puppy eyes.

"OKAY!" He exclaimed, squeezing his eyes tight. It was worse than Sasuke's sharrigan, he huffed. "Fine, we can go eat at Ichiraku,"

"Is it really good?"

Naruto coughed to clear his voice, in a deep manly tone he vocalised in his sexy, thundering and emphasising the importance of this occasion: "It's the BEST ramen shop EVER."

"HOOOOOAH!" Her eyes were the size of saucers, "REALLY, REALLY AMAZING?" Dare she use the word, "Superfabulousamazing."

"Duperfabulousfantastic," came Naruto's voice in a low rumble a mere inch away from her face. Then he went back to his normal voice. "Come on, it's near by."

Raiden loved her Uncle Naruto, because he was more of a kid at times then she was and never needed to take a nap.

It was still here, his favourite place in the whole wide world.

Ichiraku.

The smell of lime, noodles, sauces and broth filled his lungs, and he took it in at once. There was the farting sound of bottles being squeezed to a drop, the shouting and bubbling pots, bustling cooks and a grumpy, familiar old man with his sweet daughter by his side. He ushered the white haired child beside him into the room, "this is my favourite ramen joint in the entire world, kid." The kid looked around, inspecting the premises.

The young child saw nothing wrong and was in fact, quite pumped to eat at Ichiraku.

"Hey, Uncle, can we sit here," the child pointed at the two free seats at the centre. The stubbly, blonde man walked to the counter and took a seat as his partner-in-crime, struggled to climb onto the stool. "Uncle, I can pay--"

"Don't waste your dad's money," the blue eyes bore down on the soft, cute yellow pair until the younger gave up in a childish pout, muttering swear words under breath. "Can I get a menu," he called a waitress, who recognised him immediately and pointed him out to her father before disappearing into the back room. The old man just smiled and went back to serving his customers, keeping an eye on the young man. "Raiden, you like pork, try the Pork Ramen. It's really good here, they make it the right way."

The waitress returned with the menu handed both to Raiden, Raiden passed it along to her Uncle who didn't even bother looking and just admired the newly renovated Ramen shop. They had gotten new banners and new stools and new uniforms. "Hey, Grampa, you renovated? Place looks pretty nice." He took out a note book and jotted down some notes on the quality of the store and the menu prices in secrecy.

The old Ramen vendor chuckled, "you should know it's because of our new Hokage, he's a real good guy. He's changed a lot. Real friendly." He looked up, "but you know, when he was elected I was pretty surprised. But, by then you had left right, Naruto... Or was it before or after-"

"After," Raiden looked between the two adults. It must have been before her birth.

"We were all worried about you..." He felt the man's silence and moved on to the next choice topic, "Is that Jiraya's kid, she looks like him."

"Hey that's not a compliment for a girl," Raiden just laughed, soaking up the attention. The whole place looked so much better in Naruto's eyes. "So this village. He made it into a cool place. I don't think I could have done something like this," the air of the ramen shop had gotten colder, and he made sure that Raiden's cloak was covering her entire body, but still had a means for her to eat. He placed his hand on top of her head, which annoyed her to no end. "Decided yet."

She opened the book up. "Okay, I want a Miso Ramen. What do you want, Uncle?"

"I want two Miso and one Curry and one Pork Ramen, hmmm... You guys serve milkshakes now?" Naruto read the milkshakes list, "a banana-mango milkshake, please, put it all on one bill." He noticed the little girl becoming surly again, and placed his gloved hand on her forehead. "c'mon, let me pay when I'm able to. Soon you're gonna be a big lady and then your husband will be buying all your dinners." She just began shaking her head side to side in denial, and he kept trying to hold it still with the palm of his hand.

"I have to go to the washroom, I'll be back." Raiden hopped off her seat and to the bathroom in the back room.

"Eat up," the waitress cheered putting down the first round of ramen bowls down before the hungry warrior. Naruto finished his first and second bowls before Raiden returned with wet hands which she promptly wiped her hands on Naruto's cape, which he had gotten used to because at least she washed her hands.

"Itadakimasu," She put the noodles to her mouth and smiled, "mmmmmmmm. Delicious, I love it." Naruto didn't answer, he was already on his forth bowl and finished it and set it on the pile happily moving to the milkshake. "You're a monster, Uncle."

He just laughed, "are you done yet?"

"I just started, mou." She pouted, trying to catch up.

"Take your time, sweetheart."

"No!" She shouted, but she took her time.

"By the way," Naruto asked with a smile, his eyes hidden and chakra spilling into the store like a poison fog. Many of the customers were beginning to back away from the man who was once Naruto. "Who the fuck are you, Raiden is left handed and she eats with a fork."

The masculine voice laughed softly. "Nice of you to have noticed Uzumaki. Don't worry about the girl, she's fine."

"Fuck you, Sai. Where's my kid." Now a bubbling pot of salted rage.

Sai merely laughed, he enjoyed pretending to being Naruto's special little girl. "She's with Sakura, the Hokage's orders. Let's take this outside, shall we?"

Naruto consented leaving the restaurant quickly, throwing on his pack, much to the relief of the customers with Sai in Raiden's form trotting along side him. "Get out of that body, Sai."

"Mou, but I like this body. I like being Naruto's favourite little girl." He looked off to the side, knowing Sasuke that wouldn't be for long. "Take off that scarf, you're not fooling anyone."

The scarf came off, unravelling as it fell. His face was serious and looked hard, as if you punched it you were going to be sorry. There was no baby fat, as if Naruto was striving to be different from Sasuke Uchiha in every form. Sai could only imagine for solid and manly that body under those rags and bags was really buff. "Naruto! You're become a real man," but he mad a hand swipe, "but I'm married."

"Shut up," Naruto whispered, he looked away.

Sai paused his lightening thoughts, looking back at Naruto twice.

No way.

No way.

Sai had to look at Naruto like a piece of meat on sale, like a appraiser with a priceless artefact.

He wasn't going to let his first friend live it down, he reeked of it. More accurately, he was like a newly bathed maiden surrounded by unicorns.

At twenty-six Naruto was practising abstinence like a virgin, monk, goddess, whatever. This was some funny shit, and the very pissed Naruto followed in suit, trying to pry out of his former team mate what was so hilarious and why he refused to tell him of his daughter's situation.

The village had changed since Naruto had left, Sasuke seemed to go mad at times, doing things that he would have never done if Naruto had remained by his side. Many things that happened were happy things.

But all in all, Sasuke was still a boring, no fun bastard.

When Naruto was gone things were boring, now something exciting was happening. He wondered what type of face Sasuke would make, he had become an expressionless, all business bastard. That guy was a bastard. And he was boring and deep down Sasuke knew that he was boring and bastard.

Sasuke owed the smiley ninja big, after all the things Sai had stumbled upon, things he wished he never saw and things he wished he didn't know. He couldn't hate Sasuke despite Sasuke being a bastard just as much as the Hokage couldn't bring Naruto back to Konoha.

It wasn't like when Sasuke left, there was groups sent out just to find him.

And For Naruto.

For years they just waited for Naruto to return.

And why did he return?

To deliver a fucking manuscript, it pissed Sai off the no end. Naruto had been silent for a while, speaking only to hand off his backpack at the Jounin check-in. Sai would look back to see if Naruto had fled, but he wouldn't flee.

Not without that bratty kid, that nearly cut Sai's arm off, she was so fast. If Sakura hadn't grabbed her, the artist would have been a very unhappy man and he would have a lot of explaining to do to his family.

Sai knocked on the door to a beat, "Sai-is-here." He sing-songed.

"Come-on-in," Naruto's head raised at the sound of that familiar voice.

The Hokage's door opened up to reveal Naruto's Jounin Instructor, who was white and very aged. Sai waved and Kakashi walked up and snuggled his wife for until he noticed a very annoyed Naruto. "Oh hello Naruto. How are you?"

Naruto pretending to be civil, but he was more than annoyed now, "Reporting a lost or kidnapped child, Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi pulled Sai away, and pointed the the opened door before escaping with his wife. Less in fear, and more in excitement of being reunited with his wife.

"AH! Uncle!" The little girl who was being restrained by some sort of jutsu, tried to make a run towards her Uncle but she more futilely running in one spot.

The Hokage made some hand gestures and released the jutsu, allowing Naruto to grab the girl and check for injuries.

His eyes met with the smirking Hokage's.

"SASUKE!!!!!"

Sakura stood nearby Sasuke, her hands folded as she sat by a window. Her hair had lightened with age and was more of a pastel pink, was filled with white flowers braided into a loose, cascading bun. The white scientist jacket Sakura wore made her look softer and more feminine, yet under the jacket was a long black dress. Overall, Sakura had matured into a beautiful career woman and had a serious look of a doctor. Naruto could tell that Sakura was trying to avoid looking at Naruto but when he sought out her green eyes, they were filled with worry and concern until she turned away.

Tsunade and Shizune sat to the right of Sasuke, with a table full of medical papers. Tsunade looked so haggard, her withered form in a seat and a shawl over her shoulders. Her eyes fell upon Jiraya's daughter and tears fell down from her eyes and rolled to the floor making wet spots on her lap.

Naruto pushed Raiden behind him, who squeezed her eyes shut. Raiden was radiating fear and pulled closer to him, hiding behind his strong back.

Shikamaru and Neji were by each other's side, Neji body pulled protectively against the bored Jounin. His back to Naruto, his right arm restrained until Shikamaru ran his hand over it and it became relaxed.

Naruto's snarl was frozen in intensity, he looked forward, alert. Desperately wanting to reach back and rub her shoulders as if to calm the both of them down. Himself, and his dear Raiden. Naruto fought the urge to look at his little Raiden and moved his attention to Tsunade, as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world, one of the pure things left in this world.

Sasuke was in full Hokage gear, he looked at Naruto as if he was on the agenda and licked his lips in a very Orochimaru way. Naruto had to admit, Sasuke looked as handsome as he did in the pictures, the blonde remembered comparing Sasuke's body to his. Sasuke was slim and elegant, so Naruto strove to be strong and grew rough around the edges. Eventually, he lost the elegance of being a Ninja, but made up for it in many ways. He was after all, Naruto.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Sasuke purred, a sensual voice that one would use in the bedroom, in privacy, rather then between in a group and surrounded by friends. Piercing eyes, on Naruto, as if no one in the room existed but he and his former rival. "Run away Gennin, Naruto Uzumaki as well as being charged with the disappearance of Legendary Gama Sennin, Jiraya."

"I won't say anything about that matter, it's up to him to say it himself."

"That girl--" Tsunade tried to steal another glance at the girl, but Raiden had completely hidden herself away under Naruto's shaking cloak. She really looked like that man's child, that poor girl would have a rough childhood.

She had a really sweet face for someone who shared blood between Orochimaru and Jiraya. But, it wouldn't explain why Jiraya was missing for so long.

"--Is his daughter." He didn't bother to move Raiden, as she had dissolved into tears. "If you'd like to hear the story, I was hoping the spare the story until Raiden was older. Perhaps another time." Raiden was now fully wailing from under his cloak, and he felt awkward without consoling his adopted daughter.

"Please... Leave her out of this. It's my fault after all."

Sasuke looked Naruto in the face.

Naruto didn't flinch.

"sigh."

Sasuke rose from his desk, pointing at Naruto.

"Very well, Tsunade, please take this girl to bed somewhere. It's past her bedtime. Naruto, stay here. Everyone else, leave." Neji bowed out, giving Naruto a sympathetic look leaving the door open for others to follow suit.

Naruto pulled the girl apart from him, causing her to wail loudly. Raiden couldn't understand if he had told her. Even he didn't understand why everything happened the way it did.

"No... Daddy," she cried out pulling on him in all places. Raiden never called him daddy unless she was scared, but he could never be her daddy or her parent. He was just a man who helped raise her that she desperately wished was her father. "Daddy! DADDY!"

Naruto pulled the girl from him, she had never been apart from him since her birth. His child probably wouldn't sleep easy tonight. He knelt down to the red carpet and met Raiden's weeping eyes. "Listen, Raiden. I need you to be a good girl for Tsunade, she's gonna take care of you, okay?" He shook her shoulders again as to force her into shaking her head up and down. "Look, I'll be back as soon as possible... Tsunade is Uncle's friend. Okay?"

Sasuke smirked.

"Okay. Be a good girl, I love you, okay?" He kissed the girl on the forehead and rubbed her shoulder.

Naruto wiped away his tears that were tiny, but seemed to be as big as Raiden's.

"I'm going to be fine."

"Let's go brat," Shikamaru lifted the girl over his shoulder, she flung her arms and legs and tried to roll free but she was small enough for a Jounin to manage.

"DADDY! DADDY!" Her wailing was piercing now, "Waaahhhhhhh! No! NO! PUT ME DOWN! I HATE YOU!"

Her make-up was smeared and ran down her face, making her not so soft and cute, but surly as usual. Tsunade rose from her seat and moved towards the little girl, who looked at her with fear, hiccuping.

"Sakura go with them and then go home," Sasuke ordered. Sakura threw her old flame a dirty look.

"Shikamaru, you don't have to be so rough with the girl," Tsunade followed the Jounin out of the room and Shizune closed the door behind them.

"I can walk!"

"You're gonna run away," Shikamaru replied the little girl.

Neji tapped Shikamaru's shoulder and took the little girl off his shoulder, "you shouldn't be carrying a kid in your condition." Neji shifted the girl mid-air and carried her down the hall, bride-style and it seemed to calm her down.

Shikamaru really wanted to light up a cigarette, making a lighting motion his his thumb instinctively. "We're already the enemy, maybe if we're lucky she'll calm down and we can pin this all on Sasuke."

"Don't talk about me like I'm not here! MOU!" She rested her head against Neji's chest.

"You're Orochimaru's kid, huh?" Neji asked, not realising he was opening pandora's box.

Raiden went silent, "I don't know who that is. I want my mommy."

Tsunade sighed, "you men don't know anything about children. Where are we going to keep this child for the time being? My rooms a mess."

"I don't want to go anywhere with the pink pig!" She cried out, Neji just ignored the volume of her cries as much as he could. He was going to be a father soon, and he had to show Shikamaru that he could handle a kid or two.

Sakura ignored the girl in a professional manner, cocking her pink glasses. "Well I have an extra bed where Hoshino stays when he's over. Hoshino will be at his father's place tonight. I hope Sasuke won't do anything weird with Hoshino around."

Shikamaru thought about the air-headed Uchiha heir, who was sweet, but clearly just a silly kid. "That poor Hoshino."

---

Sasuke's hand was open like a beggar.

"What are you doing! IDIOT!" Naruto yelled, they were supposed to discuss business, not to play children's games.

"Let's try this again," Sasuke sighed, "for slow people."

Sasuke closed his hand.

Sasuke opened his hand like a beggar.

"I don't get it, Sasuke."

"It's not free." Sasuke emphasized, offering his open hand.

Naruto sighed, "JUST close your hand and tell me what you want!"

Sasuke sat the table, intensely looking Naruto with his Sharrigan spirals.

"What will you give me?"

"Anything."

Sasuke rose from his seat. "Anything, Naruto?" "

Naruto looked at Sasuke, think of the little girl he had poured his heart into raising as his own. "Everything-- If I can give you, I will." But Naruto wasn't stupid, he needed to protect himself. He just hoped he would live long enough to see Raiden get married and bury Jiraya. "Let's write up a contract and get things sorted out, shall we?"

"We? Such an adult, Naruto." Sasuke was impressed, his eyes slit deceptively.

Naruto only laughed angrily, folding his arms. "You have to lay down the law with children," Sasuke wasn't taken a back, nor was he angry. "Isn't that the way we used to do things in Konoha. And don't slouch."

Naruto was getting more and more interesting by the second. "I just thought I did what I wanted," his voice was silky, they weren't talking about contracts anymore and Naruto really wished they were. He pulled up a chair to the left of Sasuke, who was already drawing out a high quality scroll. One that would be used for soul binding contracts.

"What's that for, we don't need a scroll like that." His hand touched Naruto's rough ones that was marred by scars and burns, Naruto looked him in the eye and Sasuke was convinced in his heart that this scroll and blood might not be enough to bind Naruto to him.

Uzumaki tried to focus on the paper at hand, not at the soft, moisturised fingers interlacing with his own. His rival, no... the winner of all their childhood spats. Snake beat Toad. Sakura kept Sasuke in line. But the two didn't seem to be a close as they once were, Sakura even seemed depressed and worried.

He should have took her with him when he ran away, but she probably would have cried the entire time.

Naruto had to think fast, he couldn't fight the Hokage of his former village and he wouldn't get away with his murder so easily as he would not only act as like Kyuubi killing yet another figurehead. Plus he didn't want to hurt anyone anymore. He bit his lower lip, Sasuke was moving.

Taking the blonde's rough locks in hand Sasuke used his Sharrigan examine the strands, they were slick and greasy in his fingers and he seemed to be using children's shampoo. Probably from living with Jiraya's daughter.

His potential seemed to be wider, with a body more adult that Sasuke's own. With cuts and marks that even Kyuubi couldn't heal. Naruto would do well. With Naruto so close, the smell of strange spices, a bit rustic smell, was filling the Hokage's lungs. His skin was tanned darker, making Sasuke look like the moon in comparison to the beach. "We need one to restrain you, Naruto."

Naruto shivered, "you're weird."

Sasuke had taken a long time to respond, ninjas popped in and out of the office trying to talk to the Hokage and leaving flustered after seeing him with Naruto. Whenever the door opened, people would pretend that they weren't looking but would run to see the last thing before the door closed. The former Kyuubi container only feared that this would become something bigger than Kyuubi itself.

Naruto said nothing, he couldn't reach Sasuke anymore.

He wasn't the Sasuke he knew.

"I don't have Kyuubi anymore, Sasuke."

"I am well aware," Naruto went away. "I need to extra precautions when dealing with such a dangerous Missing-nin." He finally lifted up his quill, writing up the words inbedded with chakra in an elegant scrawl. "For-" Naruto was written in elegant calligraphy, "you." Uchiha was written as his last name.

Naruto looked at the name that Sasuke just wrote and he followed, right beside it his own name.

He felt his head and heart throb, Sasuke was really getting into making the list too, but he stopped and waited to answer any questions that Naruto might ask.

"Do you even like me, Sasuke?"

There was a lot of things he didn't need, but he definitely didn't need to be permanently married to a crazy, near-extinct-clan-leader right now.

Sasuke turned to look a Naruto, murderously.

Naruto had never been more afraid of Sasuke than he had now, his heart was beating rapidly as if he had met a strong opponent. As if he were in a death match with his childhood rival and Sasuke was using a forbidden jutsu as a finishing move. "It's a logical question, this proposal is all of a sudden. I've never even gone on a real date."

Sasuke's frightening chakra forced Naruto to shut up.

Sasuke wrote down, "eight children."

Eight children!

What was this, a marriage contract? He had to stop his former team mate before he got really excited.

"HEY! Raiden is a handful and she's only four." And she barely slept, when she was a baby she cried all the time and mostly because she wanted to be with Jiraya and not with him. "Where are you getting these kids anyway..." He looked at Sasuke, who looked back with confidence. "Oh no... Not me, Sasuke. Just take my body down to the--"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, DOBE! I'M THE HOKAGE AND I'LL DO AS I PLEASE!" Sasuke never yelled like that before, it must have been the stress of getting the contract written down right.

Naruto's eyes widened, much like this. OO;;

He couldn't give in to Sasuke, it wouldn't be easier down the road.

"NO WAY SASUKE! HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN A MAN GIVE BIRTH! YOU'RE FUCKING OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!" He yelled, much to the astonishment of the Hokage and the eavesdropping people in the hallway. Naruto was panting, he had screamed back so loud.

"I love you, Naruto." Sasuke confessed, resting his head on Naruto's strong shoulder. "You're the only one who still stands up to me, even when at my mercy."

Naruto turned red and sighed.

"Don't confess like that," tried to shift the weight off him, "this is the first time I've ever heard you say something like that." Naruto's eyes softened, "and I don't love you, I'm actually furious with you to the point of wanting to murder you." Sasuke took the information in slowly, it was what he expected. "This is a little much, and this contract is so that you won't take Raiden away again or hurt her. Do you really want to start a relationship like this?"

Sasuke was silent for a long time.

"Can we at least try?"

"I'm not too crazy about them, Sasuke." Naruto said, pointing to the word 'children,' but he looked over the rest of the contract and it was mostly written up to protect Naruto from Sasuke. "But it's not like I hate them either." Sasuke was much relieved, but it was barely clear as he straightened up.

"I'd like to have them," Sasuke had almost said, 'I'd like you to have them' but he caught his words before he said it. His red eyes met Naruto's blue. "I'm not going to force you, Naruto."

"We'll see," Naruto pushed Sasuke's hand to do it, as he was unfamiliar with it. "Put a question mark there. No at the end."

How could Sasuke keep such a serious and straight face? The Uchiha didn't even burst into laughter or make a smile. He was either angry or apathetic, his emotional rage was small.

"Good," Sasuke signed his name and sealed the words with his blood, "that girl is Jiraya's daughter, isn't she? I hope you won't be as foolish as Jiraya when it comes to giving birth to our children." Naruto caught Sasuke on the plural, but Sasuke just went on in a monotone, but happy tone. "But we're in our twenties, I think you'll do fine. I've been hearing from Sakura that's it's the best time to produce a child these days."

"He didn't have much of a choice," Naruto bit back, wondering if he was to follow suit.

"Some people wait till they're too old," Sasuke continued, waving his quill in a matter of fact way, mostly ignoring the now fuming man beside him. He began drawing the next line in the contract. "People like Jiraya," he added, with full understanding of what he was saying.

"SHUT UP!"

"Naruto," Sasuke motioned with a line. "Sign here."

"Ah," Naruto picked up a normal brush and sloppily dipped it in ink. "Sasuke, does this mean this is our marriage ceremony."

He hesitated to sign his life away, even if it meant that Raiden and Jiraya would mostly be left alone. But it would mean that Naruto would not be able to live the free, Sennin lifestyle that he loved. "I'm not going to complain, this was better than being killed or arrested... It's a good contract."

Naruto brushed his name on the page and sealed the contract with blood.

"Naruto, don't cry."

"I'm not crying," Naruto wiped his tears away briskly. He was supposed to be manly, but he was overwhelmed. His heart was beating violently from the moment they walked in, Naruto was scared for his life... And for his daughter's.

Sasuke rolled up the scroll and put in in his desk for safekeeping.

"This should do," Sasuke finally spoke.

He had gotten off easy considering the punishment he would have received for being a runaway ninja and being a former cage for Kyuubi and... At least some good had come out of it.

Naruto was almost fearful of what was next.

"Home."

Naruto sighed loudly, "well, I guess that was a mild ceremony for someone who's a hero and someone who's a Hokage!" He made his way to the door waving his arms thinking of how much he was missing out on, now that he was married to a boring bastard like Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at the blonde incredulously, he nodded to the well wishers that were crowding the door. He noted the unauthorised personnel, but the Hokage did get married. "Well, I suppose should have asked Tsunade to do it. Even though this marriage is more than valid because I am the Hokage."

Naruto opened the door and pushed past the eavesdroppers, spotting a Kakashi and Sai in the crowd claiming they weren't listening in. "That's not the point! There's no rings or anything, no cake, no peop--" He looked around, "WELL we're surrounded by people now.

Naruto waited for a reaction from Sasuke, who was in the midst of being congratulated. Sasuke muttered an apology and Naruto continued his rant, pointing and stomping his feet, "I know I'm a criminal and kinda asking for much but--" He folded his arms and frowned, sighed and continued walking "you really are a bastard."

The was a hush, and the pair made their way out of the building, with the belongings Naruto had dropped off previously.

Already the women were starting to congratulate Naruto on his marriage status, as it would be the polite thing to do as he was now the Hokage's wife. Naruto looked away, to the crowds, mostly fuming and ignoring his now husband as he would be unable to for the rest of his life.

The pair had all eyes on them, the distance between the pair closing as they got closer and closer to the Uchiha compound and the winter air got colder.

It seemed as though the shops in the area had been reopened, but the buildings were still vacant.

Naruto looked at the mansion.

"Fuck, I gotta clean this place up now?"

"This is my home too," Sasuke tried to remind his wife that he was also an able husband. "And it's yours also," he followed in a hushed voice.

Sasuke's eyes widened, "That reminds me, there's one... Two things we have to do now." He shuffled a bit and Naruto felt his body seize up, "Can I not come close?"

Naruto's face was red, "I though you did as you felt."

He had a bad feeling in his stomach.

Before he knew it, Sasuke was kissing him on the lips. A fiery kiss that made him weak at the knees, he pushed against Sasuke to force him to stop because he would have if he were the old Naruto but Sasuke was devouring him in a way a starving man would have. When Sasuke stopped, he was already dizzy.

Sasuke's eyes were the same, apathetic. He was still a jerk, but

"I forgot to kiss the bride."

Naruto's eye twitched.

"TEME! What else did you forget to do?!"

It was as if Sasuke had cast Mangenkyo Sharrigan.

Sasuke's eyes lowered, a faint blush on his cheek.

The corner of his lips turned up.

Naruto felt his blood boil and then became icy in realization.

Author's Note:

Yep. If you're wondering, Sasuke just forced Naruto to marry him in the first chapter, why didn't Naruto fight back and kill Sasuke and why am I writing this?

Naruto can't kill Sasuke because Sasuke's his friend, he has a little girl whom he doesn't want thinking he's a murderer and he IS a missing nin/"Kyuubi." He would have been killed right there and then for "revealing the village's secrets so Sasuke had to think long and hard on how to protect him...

I also write what I want to read, when I want to read a fanfic like this, I write this. If you wonder if I hate Sasuke, I think he's alright. Just answering and giving it away.

But reading is half the fun and if I reveal everything now it'd be boring.

The title is from the song by Do As Infinity called The Magic Word ～Would you marry me?

So please review!

Omake

Naruto felt Sasuke's warm skin on his back, his thigh sticky. Pain shot through his body, Sasuke hadn't held back last night. As if he had applied all that effort he would have used all those years back, training and training in just taking Naruto his first night.

"Get out, Sasuke," Naruto ordered followed by pained whine. The Hokage mumbled deliriously, until finally pulling out. Naruto withered inside, he had just had sex with a man. He felt so embarrassed he buried his face in the pillows and hoped Sasuke would go away.

But Sasuke chose to snuggle against him, pressing up against his thigh. "Go away."

"Mm."

Sasuke was content to lie there until there was a knocking on his door, he quickly threw on whatever clothes he could (mostly Naruto's) and opened up the door.

"Dad, I heard a loud pounding noise that night! BANG! BANG! BANG! AND A AUGH!" Came the sweet pink boy, bouncing up and down in the wooden halls. His hair was all tossed and messy from sleeping.

Basically, he looked like a Sasuke that had been turned upside-down and dipped into pink dye. He had inherited Sakura's pink hair and her green eyes, but mostly looked like Sasuke.

Sasuke looked down at his son with calm, Uchiha poise.

"Me and Naruto were making mochi."

"Wow, Mochi!" The boy was still bouncing up and down, really excited. He had seen Naruto in pictures. He was supposedly very funny, and Sai thought he was funny and Sai had good taste and drew funny pictures. "For breakfast?"

"Son, Uchiha's don't eat mochi for breakfast."

"Aww." He really wanted to eat Mochi for breakfast. "Why was Naruto screaming?"

"Because he didn't move his hands fast enough because he's an idiot." He motioned, teaching his son the ancient art of mochi making. He lifted the invisible mallet and pounded, then allowed Hoshino to turn the invisible Mochi. "Don't be an idiot, son. Making mochi is all about teamwork." Sasuke warned gruffly.

"Ohhhh!" He understood now, Naruto hurt his hand being hit by the mallet, it was all about teamwork. "When can I meet Naruto?

"After you bring a note to your mom." He quickly used his chakra for evil and created the note that fell into his open palm.

"Can I read it?"

"Never."

Hoshino seemed not to get the message.

"Okay son, I love you, have fun." Sasuke waved the boy off, not caring that the young Uchiha heir didn't even bother changing his into proper clothes.

"Oh, dad," the boy said, turning around before heading out the door. "I wanna make mochi next time with you and Naruto so tell me. Okay, bye."

Sasuke stared at the closed door, face expressionless.

"Never."
