Note: I don't own any thing as usual.
OoOoOo
Sasuke rushed through the doors of the hokage tower, pushing pass every official nin in the building. In the office, Naruto was doing paperwork when Sasuke slammed open his doors.
Naruto jumped in surprise and asked," Sasuke? What are you doing here?"
"Naruto, we need to talk NOW!" Sasuke commanded, closing the doors behind him.
"What's going on, Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked around for any eavesdroppers, and he told the hokage. "It's my daughter. Tsukiko's been kidnapped."
"What?"
"Tsukiko is kidnapped by Orochimaru." Sasuke lowered his voice. "He's back, and he already found out about our affair."
Naruto had on a look of shock on his face. "He's back. How did he find you after all these years?"
"He followed the scent off my clothes. I don't know why it took him long enough, but he just found me here." Sasuke explained. "Also, I have something I need to tell you."
Naruto nodded. "Alright, spill."
Sasuke sighed. "Tsukiko inherited your chakra."
Naruto blinked. "What?"
"She inherited your power... the power of the nine-tailed demon fox." Sasuke repeated. "I found out about this yesterday when Tsukiko got into a fight with a few kids."
Naruto took the time to take in this information, and he cursed to himself," Curse that fox..."
"What was that?"
Naruto placed down his pen, and he told him," I'll help you, but there's one problem."
"What is it?" Sasuke asked, feeling impatient.
"It's the council. They don't want to see me going around town with you. After all, you were charged for adultery." Naruto explained to him.
"So, you're saying you're not going to get your butt out of your office 'cause I'm the bad guy here?"
Naruto nodded. "That's what I'm saying."
Sasuke felt angered by his words, so he went over to his desk and slammed his hands down on it. He stressed," Naruto, you know that this whole thing wasn't my fault completely. You're involved in this too! You're the one who dragged me into this mess in the first place. You're the one who bedded me and impregnated me. I took the punishment while you just sat in your office, watching me suffer all by myself. I even got the scar to prove it."
He lifted up his shirt to reveal the letter A branded on his chest.
Naruto is at loss for words. "Sasuke, I-"
Sasuke pulled down his shirt and interrupted him, "I took the responsibility of this affair. Why didn't you you speak for yourself, Naruto?"
"I-"
"Are you afraid that you'll lose your position as hokage? Are you afraid what people might think of you if they found out? Tell me, Naruto, what are you afraid of?" Sasuke questioned.
Naruto thought about this for a moment. Sasuke could be right about one thing; he could lose his position as hokage if he admitted his crime. But that's not what he's worried about. He's not afraid to lose his job or get thrown at by insults, but he's scared of the consequences. He remembered reading about punishments in one of Tsunade's books, and he learned what villagers do the culprit of an affair. They either kill them or imprison them. Boy, Naruto doesn't want that. He remembered what happened during the affair. It all started the day after Neji went on a mission with Lee and Tenten.
OoOoOo
Flashback... 3 years ago...
At a grand ball, Naruto was walking through the crowd, waving at the guests here. Then he saw Sasuke standing outside on the balcony. Naruto finally made his way through the crowd and went over to the balcony, where Sasuke stood leaning against the railing, looking out.
He leaned against the railing and greeted," Hey Teme, how have you been? Are you missing your husband already?"
Sasuke snorted. "Very funny, Dobe. I've been doing fine since Neji left, and I'm not sure if I'm missing him or not."
Naruto nodded, and turned around so his back is against the railing. His heart beated faster against his ribcage, causing him to think that it will burst out of his chest. Even though Sasuke is married, Naruto is still in love with him. He tried to forget him, but everytime his name is mentioned, he imagined Sasuke coming up to him, pouring out his feelings for him. Naruto sometimes flirts with him without knowing it, and Sasuke didn't seem to mind since he feels the same way about the blond. They wanted to confess their feelings for each other, but the engagement stood in their way. Even though they're separated now, they still think of themselves as inseparable.
Naruto asked the raven," Sasuke, would you mind coming to my house? We could just talk over some tea. It's been awhile since we last saw each other."
Sasuke looked at him blankly, and repiled," Okay, but I can't stay long 'cause Hiashi is being so protective of me since I'm the 'bearer' here."
Naruto chuckled as he lead the Uchiha over to his house. There, the two men were sitting at a table in the bedroom upstairs. Naruto poured tea into two cups, and handed one to Sasuke, who took a tiny sip from it. Naruto took a seat across from Sasuke, and he started speaking," So, how are things with you and Neji? Any luck of having a child?"
Sasuke sighed. "Those six months of marriage is like hell. I've been constantly watched by bodyguards hired by Hiashi, I never get some free time anymore, and whenever I'm doing something, Neji always walks by, making sure I don't do anything stupid. No, we didn't concieve a child yet."
"You're probably wishing that you could have my child instead, hmm." Naruto grinned.
Sasuke glared at him for a moment, and then let himself relax, admitting," Pretty much. I don't want to give birth to a child that is born in a family full of loons, and this is not how I want to revive my clan. Stupid arranged marriage... stupid Hiashi... stupid Neji..."
Naruto chuckled at his response, and then just remembered something. He said," Oh, I almost forgot what I'm about to show you. Don't move!"
He got up and dug through his closet. Sasuke got up to see what Naruto is looking for in the closet. The blond stood up and held up an orange piece of baby clothing.
Naruto said," I made this for you just in case if you ever concieved a child. I know orange is not your color, but I thought it would be something that your child would like."
Sasuke took the piece out of his hands and he replied," Thank you, that's very... thoughtful of you."
Naruto grinned. "You're welcome, and it took me days to finish this."
"It seems like you did." Sasuke took a step towards Naruto as he does the same.
When they got close, Naruto whispered against the raven's lips," Neji is very lucky that he has you to as his 'wife.'"
"Shut up, Dobe."
Then they leaned in close until their lips touched, closing the distance between them. Soon this turned into a make-out session. When Naruto realizes what they're doing, he pulled away, saying," I shouldn't be doing this."
"Naruto-"
"Sasuke, you don't have to say anything. I shouldn't be kissing a married man. It's forbidden by law."
"Naruto, please-"
"But there's one problem, I'm still in love with you, Sasuke. It drives me absolutely crazy, and I couldn't bear those feelings I have for you any longer. Sasuke Uchiha, I love you!"
"Naruto- wait, what?"
Sasuke went speechless after he said that. He thought,' The dobe was in love with me... after all this time? Why couldn't he have spoken about it sooner?'
He didn't say anything, but just stood there and stared, causing Naruto to have anxiety. Naruto said," Sasuke, don't be mad. What I said is true, I'm in love with you. I-" He stopped speaking when Sasuke placed a finger on his lips.
Sasuke told him," Naruto, calm down. It's okay, I feel the same way about you too."
Naruto wrapped his arms around the younger Uchiha's waist, pulling him close. He asked, "You never loved Neji, didn't you?"
"I never liked that guy ever since we first went to the academy together." Sasuke replied, tilting his head upwards to kiss Naruto.
As they continued to make out, they started to walk towards the bed and collapsed on it. Sasuke is lying on his back while Naruto is on top of him. Soon they started to take off each others' clothes before they would go even further.
... End of Flashback...
OoOoOo
Naruto would never forget the night, he had an affair with the raven. He sighed in defeat, and stood up from his desk. He looked at Sasuke and he told him," Okay, I'll help. Just meet me outside my office. I'll be there in a moment."
Sasuke nodded and left the office, leaving Naruto in the silence. When Naruto is alone, he sat down on the floor in a lotus position and meditated, trying to contact the demon fox inside him.
OoOoOo
/In Naruto's consciousness/
"What is it now, Kit?" The demon fox questioned, feeling irritated.
Naruto demanded, "Sasuke just told me that his daughter inherited your power, and I want to know, Kyuubi!" He pointed a finger at him. "You gave her that power, didn't you?"
Kyuubi laughed sinisterly. "Foolish kit, when you say HIS daughter, shouldn't you say OUR daughter?" Naruto glared. "Foolish human, didn't you realize that I'm part of who you are? You're the one who 'captured' the Uchiha and impregnated him in the first place. Your genes determined the child's DNA as well as the Uchiha's. Don't blame me for this. Your child has our power 'cause you have the power. After all, you ARE her father."
Naruto looked down at his feet, realizing that the fox is right. This is his fault. He mumbled," This is my fault. I'm the one who gave her that power, not you."
"Yes, you did! The child was born on November 10, the day Sasuke was charged for adultery." The fox explained. Then he showed his vessel an image of Sasuke giving birth to the child. Naruto watched him scream as he forced the baby down until he heard a baby's cry. Then he saw Sakura handing Sasuke his child... their child. Naruto got a good look at the child's face; she does show quite a resemblence to him.
Naruto hung his head down in shame while the fox laughed evilly.
/End of Naruto's Consciousness/
OoOoOo
Naruto opened his eyes and got up from his sitting position. He walked out of his office and closed the door behind him. He looked at Sasuke and he said," Let's go!"
After he said that, he and Sasuke left the building, ignoring whispers from the staff.
OoOoOo
Out in the forest, Tsukiko was tied to a tree while Orochimaru and Kabuto were observing her.
Orochimaru stated," There's something interesting about that child."
"How so?" Kabuto questioned.
"I don't know but something about her seems to be somewhat... fascinating." Orochimaru rubbed his chin.
Kabuto nodded and observed the little girl more.
Tsukiko struggled against the chain, screaming," LET ME GO! LET ME GO SO THAT I COULD DESTROY YOU!"
Her red eyes, sharp claws, and barred teeth returned once again. Kabuto smiled and chuckled evilly when he noticed this.
He looked up at his master, and told him," I think I know who Sasuke had the affair with."
"Who would that be?" Orochimaru questioned him.
Kabuto answered," It seems as though Sasuke had slept with the Uzumaki boy."
Orochimaru smiled evilly. "Ahh... so Sasuke had the child with Naruto, eh?" Tsukiko perked up when she heard her father's name. "Now I know why the child has such power. It's all because her father has it and must've passed it down to her."
Tsukiko couldn't believe what she is hearing; she had no idea that Naruto is her father after all this time. She couldn't help but wonder why her mother didn't tell her. Was it because he was afraid?
Kabuto noticed her expression, and told her," Awww, did you hear that, little girl? Your daddy is no one other than Naruto Uzumaki, the 6th hokage. You must be disappointed in your mommy right now, aren't you?"
Tsukiko just stared, thinking,' Why didn't Mommy tell me that my daddy is Naruto?'
Kabuto turned his head away from her when he saw two shadows, and he announced," Well you look at that, your parents are here."
Orochimaru did the same, and he smirked. "Sasuke, so good to see you and your lover. Did you come to pick up YOUR daughter?"
Naruto demanded," Let her go, Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru laughed. "Never! This child not only has the blood of the Uchiha but has the power of the nine-tailed demon fox as well. The child will be perfect for my new body."
Sasuke declared, "I'm never letting you have my daughter! You don't know what kind of chaos her power will unleash! She needs to learn how to control it, or things will get out of hand. Besides, you remembered what happened the last time Naruto let out that power. do you?"
Orochimaru remembered what happened the last time he battled Naruto in his demon fox form. Naruto almost killed that snake with all that power he unleashed. Orochimaru turned to look at the two, and he said," I'll do my best to contain the power within this child. I don't care what happens as long as I could have a body that is powerful and has Uchiha blood."
Naruto and Sasuke started to become furious at his last statement. Tsukiko struggled more against the chains, creating a huge racket.
Orochimaru told her," Now now, child, you don't want to break Uncle Orochimaru's chains, do you?"
Tsukiko glowered up at him, and demanded," LET ME GO!"
"Never. You are to stay right where you are."
"I SAID LET ME GO!" Tsukiko struggled more, causing the chains to snap. Sasuke gasped when he saw what she just did. Tsukiko then stood on all fours, growling up at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru smirked. "You think you're powerful enough to defeat me? You have no control over that kind of power."
"That's exactly what happens when you develop that power at the age of three." Naruto acknowledged. "You better watched out or things will get chaotic."
Orochimaru looked at him and then back at the little girl, who charged at him. Sasuke was about to interfere when Naruto held out his arm in front of him. Naruto told him," Sasuke, it's best if you stay out of this. Things are just about to get worse!"
Sasuke nodded and stood back, watching the scene unfold, feeling a sense of worry.
Tsukiko continued charging at Orochimaru, growling like a beast. She jumped at him and clawed at his face. Orochimaru grabbed the demon girl off his face and threw her. Tsukiko landed on all fours, skidding to a stop. Then red chakra started to surround her, giving her an almost fox-like appearance. A tail formed out of that chakra.
Sasuke asked Naruto," What's happening to her?"
Naruto watched in horror as his daughter is starting to turn into more of a demon fox. She reminded him more of himself when he used the Kyuubi's power. He experienced it many times in his life, but he learns to never give in to the Kyuubi's influence ever again. He explained to Sasuke," She's showing the nine-tailed fox's cloak."
"The nine-tailed fox's cloak?" Sasuke questioned.
Naruto nodded. "Yes. I've experienced that before and let me say that it's not a pretty sight to see."
"What do we do? How do we stop it?"
"We need to stop it while there's only one tail. If we wait any longer, then things will soon go out of hand." Naruto explained. Then he digs into his pocket to pull out a piece of paper with a symbol on it and hands it to Sasuke.
"What's this?" Sasuke asked, looking down at that piece of paper.
"This is a seal that will help suppress the fox's chakra immediately."
"Okay. But how are we going to get close to her? I know that she's not going to think straight and attack whoever is close." Sasuke questioned his lover's plan.
Naruto explained," We need to find something to distract her with." Then he saw Tsukiko jumping at Orochimaru, biting at his arm. "That's done. Sasuke, it's best if you just stay back. I'll handle this."
Sasuke protested," Naruto, she's my daughter. I could handle her very well-"
"Sasuke, she's my daughter too! She has my power, therefore my responsibility." Naruto assured him. "Just trust me on this."
Sasuke nodded and watched his lover take steps towards their raging daughter. Tsukiko and Orochimaru are now standing opposite of each other. Tsukiko is growling while Orochimaru is standing there, smirking.
Orochimaru said," Quite impressive, little girl. But not enough to defeat me!"
Tsukiko growled and jumped at Orochimaru's face, scratching and beating the crap out of him, causing blood to splatter everywhere. She continued to beat the crap out of him until his body went limp. She got off of him and roared up to the sky in victory. Her perked up when she heard footsteps coming nearby, and she quickly turned to see Naruto heading towards her. She put herself in a defensive postion and growled at him.
Naruto held up his hand, saying," Easy, girl... you don't want to hurt me... It's me, Naruto...", as he aproached the three year old cautiously.
Tsukiko then started to relax a little, and Naruto took that as a chance to tame his daughter. He quickly placed the seal over his daughter's forehead, and the red chakra Tsukiko is producing vanished. Tsukiko was about to fall when Naruto came in and captured her in a hug. Tsukiko opened her blue eyes and looked around to see her mother, Kabuto, and Orochimaru's dead body.
She asked," What happened?"
Naruto explained," You went all demon fox-like on Orochimaru and Kabuto, and you somewhat killed one of them. Are you okay, Tsukiko?"
"I fine... Daddy..." Tsukiko responded, hugging her father.
Naruto blinked in surprise at her response. He thought,' Since when did she started calling me, Daddy? She never knew her father, unless...'
Kabuto stated," Isn't that sweet? Like father, like daughter. I knew there's something interesting about this child."
Naruto shouted," Cut the crap, Four-eyes! Sasuke and I are not going to let you take our daughter away. She may have been concieved from a love affair, but she has Uchiha blood and Uzumaki power."
"How touching... it's too bad you won't be alive when you see what I will do to your lover and your daughter." Kabuto declared, raising his glowing hand, preparing to attack. Before he would strike, he felt a sharp pain going through his back and he looked to see Sasuke behind him, stabbing him with a kunai.
Sasuke glared at him with his sharingan, and he said," Your days of hunting for me are over."
Kabuto smirked and coughed up blood as he entered the darkness. Sasuke pulled the kunai out of Kabuto's back, letting his body go limp. Sasuke went back to his lover and daughter, and hugged the both of them. Tsukiko felt happy that she finally has a family altogether; her mommy, her daddy, and herself. They pulled away from the hug and stood up.
Naruto said," Let's go home."
"Alright. All this fighting has really gotten me tired." Sasuke replied, picking up his daughter and raising her up on his hip.
Naruto stated," Geez how much chakra did you lose? As I could recall, you didn't do much fighting since I took away your position as shinobi."
"I only lost some because for one, I was carrying your child, and two, I spend the rest of my time raising Tsukiko." Sasuke explained. "Does that answer your question?"
Naruto chuckled as he led the two back to Konoha. When they got back to their village, they were greeted by a mob of villagers.
One man from the mob asked," Hokage, what are you doing with that traitor? The man who bought shame to us all!"
"Traitors like him don't deserve to live!" Another yelled.
The mob continued to scream and mock until Naruto yelled," SILENCE!"
The mob stopped screaming after Naruto shouted at them to shut up. Naruto said," That's better! Now, I'm off to confirm with the council that I found the guy who Sasuke had an affair with", walking through the crowd with Sasuke following.
The crowd soon followed the hokage to the platform, where they do executions to prisoners and traitors. Soon as they got there, Sasuke quickly ran up to Naruto and grabbed him by his arm, asking," Naruto, are you sure you want to do this? I know you've always dreamed of being hokage and having a child of your own, but do you really need to do this?"
Naruto answered," I need to do what I must to rid away those feelings I held for three years. Like you said before, Sas, you're not the only who was involved in the affair. It's my duty as hokage to admit my crime, and I must do this." Then he turned to Tsukiko. "Tsukiko, when I'm gone, promise me that in the future you will think things throughly before you do them?"
Tsukiko nodded. "I promise, Da-" She got interrupted when Sasuke covered her mouth with his hand. Naruto smiled and placed a kiss on Tsukiko's forehead before freeing his arm from Sasuke's grasp. Naruto walked up the steps of the platform and turned to face everyone.
Sasuke watched as Naruto faced the crowd, waiting for everyone to listen to what he has to say. He thought,' I can't believe he's going to do this.'
Sakura made her way through the crowd to see what's going on, and she was shocked when she saw her old teammate standing on the platform with a look of pride. She knew what Naruto was going to do; confess his crime and turn himself in.
She muttered," Oh no..."
Hinata was sitting in her carriage with her father and looking out the window til she saw Naruto standing on the platform. She paniced and yelled at the driver," Stop the carriage!"
The driver stopped the carriage immediately after she yelled at him to do so. Hinata opened her door and quickly ran up to the crowd, with her father yelling," Hinata, get back in the carriage!"
Hinata ignored her father as she made her way through the crowd, not caring if she knocked over someone. When she made it over to where Sasuke stood, she asked him," Sasuke, what's going on?"
Sasuke looked at her and replied," Naruto is going to admit his crime and turn himself in. Do you know what they do to culprits who are involved in adultery?"
Hinata nodded, thinking about the punishments they do to people charged with adultery; either imprisonment or worse... execution. Hinata turned away for a moment, hiding her tears that she's shedding.
Naruto looked at everyone in the crowd, and he announced," People of the leaves, I have a big announcement. All of you have already heard of the affair that Sasuke Uchiha was involved in three years ago. Today, I found out who the culprit is..."
A man from the crowd yelled," WHO IS IT?"
Naruto closed his eyes for a moment before looking up. "The culprit is... me."
The crowd gasped in shock and started whispering to each other, denying that their hokage would do something like this.
Naruto stated," I know what you're thinking, 'I don't believe it', 'how could he do something like this', or 'Why did he get involved with Sasuke Uchiha?' But look at the daughter Sasuke has. Did you notice the resemblence?" The crowd thought about Tsukiko for a moment and realized that she does resemble Naruto very much. "It's all true, I did have an affair with Sasuke, and had a child with him. I've been riddled with guilt for years and I think it's time I let it out. If anyone needs punishing, it's going to be me! This whole was my fault! I'm the one who dragged Sasuke into this mess. I'm the one who bedded and impregnated him while his husband was on a mission. I'm the one that needs to be punished, not him! Even if it's imprisonment or execution, I'll be willing to take whatever punishment you could throw at me. I knew I had this coming all along."
After he finished his speech, a group of ANBU cops surrounded him and held him down to the ground. Sasuke was about to intervene when two ANBU cops held him back by his arms, listening to him call out his name.
One cop held up a sword, saying," So it's true. You are the lover of Sasuke Uchiha AND the father of Tsukiko Uchiha. Well, it's about time you admit it!"
He raised his sword up high, raising the spirits of the crowd. They chanted," Kill... kill... kill..."
The ANBU cop mocked," Well, look at this. The crowd is waiting for the kill! Now prepare to... DIE!"
Right when he was about to stab Naruto with the sword, a loud voice called," HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"
Everyone turned their heads to see Neji standing on the roof of a building close to the platform. He is looking at them with a serious look on his face.
Sasuke looked at his former soon-to-be-ex husband, and muttered," Neji..."
Neji shouted at the crowd," I'm ashamed of you... of all people."
"Stay out of this, Hyuga! This bastard here is found guilty for sleeping with your husband. Aren't you suppose to be angry?" A woman from the crowd shouted, causing everyone to shout as well.
Sasuke covered his daughter's ears with his hands, mumbling," Geez... language. Doesn't anyone notice that there's a child present here?"
Neji narrowed his eyes, and he stated," I would be angry, but I decided against it since Sasuke and I have been put under arranged marriage. But I must say that Sasuke was in love with Naruto, so that explains why he cheated on me in the first place. His daughter may be Naruto's child, but she was like my kid. I began to realize what my uncle should've done three years ago. Accept the child and raise her as our own. Here you are, wanting to kill our current hokage for his sin. I find it disgraceful. Unhand that man NOW!"
The ANBU cops released their hold on Naruto, allowing him to get up on his own.
Neji continued. "I know that Naruto is guilty about the affair, and I already found out long enough that it's him. I found out about it while I was keeping an eye on him. When I saw the cuts on his chest, I figured that he did this out of guilt. I thought about exposing him at first, but then I realized that this something I will regret later on. I already convinced the council that instead of killing Naruto, we should put him on probation." Then he turned to Naruto. "What do you think, Naruto? Are you willing to accept it? I'm letting you live on a whim. Do you agree?"
Naruto looked at Neji and nodded. "Yes, I accept."
Neji nodded back. "Then it's settled. Everyone, I declare that Naruto Uzumaki is found guilty and that Sasuke Uchiha should be free."
The crowd cheered after he said that. Neji jumped down from the roof and landed next to Sasuke.
Sasuke asked," Neji, why would you do this? I thought you wanted to expose Naruto for his bad deeds."
"I did, but something changed my mind." Neji answered, looking at Tsukiko. "Whenever I think about it, all I could think about is your daughter."
Sasuke smirked as he says this. "So my cute daughter changed your mind, huh?"
Neji frowned. "Yes, she did."
OoOoOo
After the event that happened at the platform, Naruto was sent on probation for six months. Sasuke is now free from the case, and he can do whatever he wants. He still didn't get his shinobi position back, but he still made a living by doing paintings. The Hyuga clan finally agreed to break the marriage between Sasuke and Neji, which means Sasuke could marry whoever he wants. After months of probation, Naruto and Sasuke got married, and finally gave what Tsukiko wanted... a family. Naruto resumed his position as hokage and changed the laws a little. He offered Neji to be his personal advisor but Neji politely refused and decided to do what's best for his village and his clan. Tsukiko trained to become the best ninja there is, and finally got the her demon fox chakra under control with the help of Naruto.
OoOoOo
Twelve years later...
Tsukiko is walking on the streets, in her ninja outfit consisting of a blue sleeveless shirt, a pink apron-like skirt with shorts underneath, and black boots. Her hair has grown longer and is down to her waist. She wore her forehead protector like a headband, and also wore long fingerless gloves. She's been told by many people that she looks so much like her father, only with black hair.
"Tsukiko!" A voice called to her.
Tsukiko turned to see her parents' old friend, Hinata, running towards her. She flashed her huge smile and greeted," Hinata, what's up?"
Hinata stopped running, and she replied," Tsukiko, I have terrible news to tell you. Neji has already passed away", with sadness in her voice.
Tsukiko looked at her with shocked eyes. She started to feel sad about the loss of her old friend, Neji Hyuga. Neji died from cancer. He found out about this while he and his teammates were heading home after a mission complete. He noticed something was off with him when he suddenly saw his vision becoming blurry and collapsed in front of the gates. At the hospital, he found out that he had brain cancer. He fought cancer for ten years until his time is up. Tsukiko did often visit him while he was still in the hospital. The last time she talked to him was last night.
Tsukiko looked down and tried her hardest not to cry. Hinata looked at her with concern, and she told the raven," Before he died, he wanted me to give you this", handing Tsukiko and envelope.
Tsukiko took the envelope and tore it open, pulling out a piece of paper. She opened up the folded pice of paper and read it silently to herself, only to find out that it was a will. She looked at Hinata with shock, and asked," Did he really want me to keep all of this?"
Hinata smiled. "He wanted you to have all of his money as well as his estate."
"Why me? I'm not related to him and you know that."
Hinata shrugged. "I know. Since he didn't have any kids, you are the only option he had left. So he decided to place his inheritence on you because he trusts you and loves you as if you were his own child as well."
Tsukiko couldn't help but smile as well as tears forming in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away with her hand before hugging Hinata, who then hugged her in return. When Tsukiko released the Hyuga girl from her hug, she quickly ran off, yelling out a good bye. Hinata waved back as she watched the raven run at full speed.
At home, Sasuke was sitting in a chair, holding his newborn son. His son's name is Tao, and he is eight months old. He has Naruto's blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, like Sasuke's. Sasuke looked over at his eight year old son, Daisuke, who is playing with his action figures. He looks like the miniature version of Naruto, only he has coal eyes like Sasuke's. Sasuke smiled at his son as he watched him play with action figures.
Then he heard the door being slammed open and looked to find his daughter standing there in shock. Sasuke got up and asked," What's going on, Tsukiko?"
Tsukiko answered," You're not going to believe this... Hinata told me that Neji passed away and left me with this", holding out a piece of paper.
Sasuke gently shifted his son into one arm and took the paper from her. When he read it, his eyes went wide as dinner plates. He stated," You are given the money as well as the Hyuga estate. But why?"
Tsukiko explained," I don't know but all I know is that Neji trusted me enough to keep all his treasures as well as his estate. He also seemed to think of me as if I were his own daughter."
Daisuke stopped his playing and went up to his older to sister. He hugged her leg and looked up at her with his coal eyes, saying," You're rich, Tsuki. When are we going to move out?"
Sasuke chuckled. "Daisuke, no one's moving out. We have to tell this to your father first."
Daisuke pouted. "Fine."
Tsukiko thought about all the things that happened when Neji was around. She remembered that the first time she saw him, he was attacking her mother, telling him that he found out who her father is. Three years later, he helped prevent her father from getting executed and finally cleared Sasuke's name. Everyday, he would come by and see her, asking her what she's been up to. Now he passed away and is probably up in heaven now.
Tsukiko gazed up at the ceiling, and she whispered," Thank you, Neji."
OoOoOo
A/N: Finally the last chapter, and I'm done with this story. Yay! I hope you enjoyed reading this. Thank you, guys, for reading and reviewing!
