Breaking the Habit

Chapter 16: I'm Breaking the Habit Tonight

Days had gone by and no one had heard anything further involving Sasuke but rumors spread far and wide about Akatsuki and the attacks on villages. What wasn't spoken was the fact that the villages attacked contained Jinchuriki; or those who harbored the tailed beasts. Fear was taking over and the eyes of the villagers once again fell on me and in turn my son. Not only was I the carrier of the Kyuubi but rumors had spread saying that I loved a traitor and had spawned him a son thanks to my cursed boarder. I'm pretty sure they'd be even more scandalized should they learn the truth of Kizuna's real parentage.

I hadn't seen nor heard anything pertaining to my son's real father, Itachi. Whenever Akatsuki was mentioned his name was left out of it, not that too many people actually knew the traitor Ninja's that Akatsuki consisted of. There were many rumors and many nin from many villages were dispatched to seek information.

I spent my time with my son and starting a new training regiment. Day in and day out in the presence of others was a refreshing change from my deprived childhood and yet I currently found it smothering. Every move and action was watched and monitored for my safety and the safety of the village. Ba-chan didn't like it but I was being watched in case I too decided to turn rogue and leave the village behind and join the ninja revolution. No one could even tell me why Jinchuriki were being collected let alone what the reasoning behind it was. It was all very strange.

It wasn't like they could collect the nine tails anymore. We were one, she and I. It left me safe from Akatsuki for now. There was no telling whether or not they would discover a way to separate us and remove the Kyuubi. Gaara had already been attacked and saved. He no longer carried the Shukaku within his body. It was at a great cost since his village lost the life of chiyo-basan.

From my understanding there are only a few of us left. Perverted Hermit who has been training me left on a mission so I've been training with Kakashi Sensei and Yamato Sensei in the hopes that I can control my ability with wind and perhaps even create a new move. I find it hard to keep my chakra going even with the Kyuubi's help. It was hard work but somehow I managed it.

It was during my training that we got news of Orochimaru's demise. It was even more surprising to hear that it was at none other than Sasuke's hand. It had only been two months since he had left and he had already accomplished what two Hokage's could not.

Usually such a success would be celebrated but Sasuke was a rogue ninja and no one had a clue what was going on inside of his head. We all knew he wanted revenge on his older brother but at what cost?

"Take a rest Naruto. You're already down to six clones and they're dwindling and disappearing fast. You've used up most of your chakra and you have managed to come pretty far," said Kakashi Sensei as he turned to the next page of his pervy book.

I collapsed onto the soft grass gasping, my sides aching with my effort and my feet swollen from standing for so many hours. The clear blue sky went dark as a towel was tossed atop my sweat drenched forehead. I removed it wiping away sweat in the process.

"When is the last time you've had a medical evaluation," asked Yamato Sensei as he knelt on my right side.

I racked my brain and thought back, "I guess a month or two before Sasuke left, why?"

"You should probably go for another visit," said Yamato Sensei with as much delicacy as he could.

At that I struggled to sit up, cringing at the dizzy spell that fought to take over until I was finally sitting up and starring into his suddenly way too serious face.

"Why?"

"Your chakra has been pretty drained lately and I don't think it's just from your training. We've both seen you train before and this is the first time we've seen your chakra this drained and you looking this…."

"Drained? Pale? Unstable," provided Kakashi Sensei looking up from his book which he then put his bookmark in and closed.

"Well the Kyuubi and I have merged that might have something to do with it," I said trying to convince myself more than them. Somehow deep down I had realized that the cunning fox had been awfully quiet and I doubt she was being so willingly.

Something was draining her and in effect draining me as well, more so than was normal. I had felt this drain before and I was afraid to go through it once more.

"Why don't we end this training session so you can go home and relax a bit with the little troublemaker and I'll send Hokage-sama your way later this evening," said Kakashi Sensei with his mask stretched out in what was supposed to be a reassuring smile but I felt anything but reassured.

With that said I did just as suggested. I entered the small apartment I now lived in, in the small compound beside the Hokage's tower and hopped into the shower. No sooner had I turned the shower off that a knock sounded at my door and the excited trill of Kizuna filled the house.

"Too~san! Too~san?"

"I'm coming Ki, one sec," I called out as I hopped into a pair of sweat pants and a loose fitting tee shirt.

"Too~san," was muffled into my right leg as I was nearly knocked into the hallway wall by my sons exuberant almost two legged hug.

I leaned down and lifted him up and into my arms planting a big kiss on his forehead and then giving him a big hug.

"Did you have fun with Auntie Sakura," I asked as he leaned back and gave me a large grin.

"Yes! We played and Uen ate bugs," my son exclaimed.

I looked behind my sons head at Sakura's blushing face, "bugs," I asked with a grin.

"They were both playing in the sandbox and apparently Yuen found a bug and attempted to pop it into his mouth. Luckily Shino happened to be over to drop off some information for Lee's next mission and warned me before it could be swallowed."

"Sounds like you all had quite an adventure," I said as I put Kizuna back onto the floor. He however refused to let go of my hand.

"I brought some of Ichiraku's ramen why don't we get the boys in their highchairs and settled and then once their eating I can give you a quick exam," she said as she pointed to the large metal tin beside the door.

"News sure travels fast around these parts," I responded dejectedly.

"We can't let anything happen to our number one surprise ninja, can we," she asked with a grin.

We set the table and had the brats seated with small bowls of ramen carefully cut up so there were no choking hazards with juice cups filled with milk beside them. As they at I leaned back on the couch and lifted my shirt so that Sakura could place her hands on my stomach.

She closed her eyes and I watched as chakra gathered at her hands and she moved them along my abs and past my belly button stopping and then moving back up. Her chakra faded and she opened her eyes giving me a sad smile.

I knew the answer before her mouth opened but I allowed the words to come out anyway, "Looks like another Uchiha is on the way."

I closed my eyes and felt her move my shirt back into place. I heard her stand and her footsteps as she walked away. I could hear her in the kitchen talking to Kizuna and Yuen but it was all muffled. I found the room covered in darkness and was thankful I had the foresight to put my arms over my face as the tears fell unbidden down my face. I took a deep breath and then quickly wiped my face, sniffling a few times and then wiped my face and my nose once more. I went back into the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water. I patted it dry and made my way back out into the kitchen.

"Pass me some of that ramen Sakura, might as well get my share since you paid and I'm eating for two again."

To Be Continued…

Thanks for reading, sorry it took so long. It's been crazy lately. Getting old sucks! I have issues with my kidneys now so no more dark soda and I'm limited on the amount of tea I can have. Oh, and I also discovered that I have Scoliosis. Apparently it's pretty bad and my chiropractor doesn't believe me when I said I was tested as a kid. Life goes on… Chapter 17 coming soon~!
