The Simple Shinobi Life
Chapter 1: New Family
"Strange isn't it? One minute your nothing, the next you're Dad." – My cousin Mashood Bhai
"Hatake-san please sit down!" The nurse said firmly. The silver haired jounin was walking along the hospital lobby room, then up the wall, across the ceiling, back down the wall, and back across the lobby. A cigarette was in between his masked lips, as he puffed away quickly.
"Jeez Kakashi-sensei, calm down, she'll be alright." Naruto pleaded. The Copy nin didn't here him. His thoughts revolved around what his wife was going through in the maternity ward.
"When did you start smoking?" Sasuke asked above his newspaper.
"Asuma hooked him." Naruto answered.
"Will you two shut up?!?!" Kakashi yelled.
"SHH!!" The nurse warned. Kakashi turned to the nurse and flipped her the bird. She turned up her nose and continued her work at the front desk. Kakashi was sweating bullets. This is taking too long he thought. What the hell are they doing in there? Suddenly, the door opened, and the doctor walked out.
"Hatake-san-" He began but was interrupted by Kakashi charging through him and running into the room. His wife was screaming in agony. He rushed to her side and held her hand.
"Honey are you alright?" She squeezed his hand with so much force that she broke all of his fingers.
"I hate you Kakashi I hate you!" She screamed. She squeezed furthur causing his fingers to break even more. Kakashi bit his tongue to hold back the pain. His wife's scream could be heard all over the hospital. And then it stopped. All that was heard, was the sound of a baby crying. The nurses brought the baby to her, wrapped in a pink blanket.
"It's a girl she said." Kakashi's face swelled with happiness over his wife's accomplishment.
"We're not done yet," the doctor piped up, "the second one has to come out."
"Second one?" Kakashi and his wife said together. Kakashi turned to his wife and put his good hand on her head.
"One more push honey." He pleaded. She used all her strength and gave it one more try. Once again, her agonizing scream was heard throughout the village this time. Over in Hokage tower, Tsunade looked up from her paper and out the window towards the hospital. She's giving birth today?? She thought. She stood up and poofed from her office. The doctor held the second baby in his hands and walked over to Kakashi and handed him over in a blue blanket.
"It's a boy." He said with a smile on his face. Kakashi looked down at his two children. The girl had dark eyes and pink hair, while the boy had silver hair and green eyes. He looked to his wife and gave her a kiss on the head.
"Well done Sakura, well done." He whispered.
Pop! Tsunade appeared in the room and walked up to the couple with their two chidren. The nurses and doctor bowed their heads in respect of the Hokage. "So these are the two angels eh?" She asked with a pearly white smile. Sakura nodded her head, her pink locks shaking slightly.
"What shall we name them?" Kakashi asked. Sakura thought a moment and gave her daughter a kiss first, then her son.
"Rin…and Obito." She whispered. Kakashi fought back tears. He looked down at his two children.
"Our little Rin and Obito." He said, choking back tears of joy.

"Give it back!"
"No! I saw it first!"
"Come on give it back!!'
"No way!"
"Daddy! Obi-chan took my doggy!"
"Did not! It's mine!" the little silver haired boy ran towards the hallway when he found himself airborne. Kakashi held him by his shirt collar and watched as his 4-year-old son tried to run in mid air. The Copy nin chuckled behind his mask.
"Now Obi, isn't that Rin's doggy?" Kakashi asked gently. Obito shook his head vigorously.
"No it's not! This one belongs to me!" the little runt squealed.
"How can you be so sure?" Obito was tired of trying to run.
"It says my name right behind the ear! See?" He showed his father the name written on the ear. Kakashi frowned.
"Obito, this says 'Rin' on it." The green eyed boy looked down at the ear.
"Oops." He said quietly, blushing. Kakashi smiled and set him back down. The little boy walked over to his sister and handed the dog back.
"Sorry Rin-chan." She grabbed the stuffed animal and held it to her face.
"It's ok Obi-chan." She replied. Kakashi knelt down and ruffled both their heads.
"Now play nicely you two. Uncle Naruto will be here soon." Both kids' faces lit up.
"Yay!" They said together, "Do you think he'll bring presents this time?" Obito asked Rin.
"Now you two," Kakashi started, "Your Uncle Naruto is a very busy man. You can't expect him to have gifts for you all the time." They both sighed.
"Oh Kay.." they said together in disappointment. Kakashi chuckled and walked towards the kitchen. A pink haired woman was fixing dinner for the family. Kakashi slid his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her head.
"Good evening, my handsome husband." Sakura greeted as she continued cooking.
"And how is my ultra sexy wife doing?" He whispered into her ear. Sakura giggled and turned her head to give him a quick peck on the lips.
"When are Naruto and Hinata arriving?" Sakura asked. Kakashi looked at the clock.
"Oh any minute now." He said. There was a knock at the door. Kakashi walked down the corridor and opened the front door.
"Hey Kakashi!" Naruto greeted.
"Naruto! Hinata! Glad you could make it!" He moved aside to let his two friends come in. They shook off the snow and walked inside the house, taking off their coats and hanging them on the coat stand. "How are things at the office Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked Naruto. The blonde young man scoffed.
"C'mon Kakashi you know I don't accept the honorific from you guys," he said playfully punching his former teacher, "but it's hectic as always." Sakura walked into the living room to greet them.
"Good evening you two!" She greeted enthusiastically. "How's my favorite couple doing?" Naruto took a seat on the couch, Hinata moving slowly not the damage her unborn child. "How's the baby?" Sakura asked.
"Coming along just fine." Naruto said with a smile.
"Uncle Naruto!!!" Obito and Rin screamed running towards the 6th. Naruto got off the couch and knelt down with his arms spread open.
"Hey there are my two favorite kiddies!" Naruto said in a loud voice hugging both kids as they came crashing into his arms. Hinata smiled at how much the kids loved Naruto.
"He's going to be such a wonderful father." Hinata said. Kakashi nodded in agreement.
"He's always been great with kids," he said, "it started with Konohamaru. Then it progressed from there. His team sure did love him too." Kakashi gave Naruto a sly smile. "And besides, being the Hokage means that you have to love the entire village." Naruto smiled up at his mentor.
"You should've seen him the night of the coronation." Hinata said quietly, a hint of pleasure in her voice. Sakura raised in eyebrow.
"So Naruto isn't just wild in public eh?" She asked. Hinata blushed furiously. Naruto nervously put his hand behind his head.
"Uncle Naruto," Obito asked, "were you crazy before you became Hokage?"
"Aha…" Naruto began. Sakura finished it for him.
"You should've seen him! He used to paint silly pictures on the faces of the previous Hokages!" Rin and Obito put their hands to their mouths and gasped.
"You were a naughty kid Uncle Naruto?" Rin asked her dark eyes wide. Naruto chuckled.
"Yep! I used to be the biggest prankster and still am to this day!" Obito pumped his tiny fist in the air.
"I'm going to be just like Uncle Naruto, and pull the best pranks ever!" Kakashi sighed. One Naruto is enough to handle he said to himself. Naruto grinned and reached into his coat pocket.
"I've got something for both of you." He said. The twins' eyes popped out of their heads and their faces lit up like Christmas trees. Naruto pulled out two Konoha hita-ate's and handed them to each child. They squealed with joy, took them and gave Naruto another hug.
"Thank you Uncle Naruto!" They said in unison. Naruto laughed.
"You're welcome you two." He looked at them both. "Now if you two ever need anything that mommy and daddy won't get you, you come to me okay?" They nodded their heads vigorously. Sakura scoweled.
"Naruto! You don't have to do that." Naruto winked at Sakura and Kakashi.
"Hey, you're my two best friends. It's the least I can do." Sakura silently thanked him and Kakashi smiled. Sakura looked to the kitchen.
"Dinner's ready!" She said. Kakashi went inside and started setting the table for 6. Hinata stood up slowly.
"Let me help please." She offered.
"No, no don't worry about it Hinata-chan." Sakura said quickly. "You're in no condition to be working. Here you're our guest!" Hinata blushed and nodded her head in gratitude. Kakashi set the table and sat at on end of the head. Naruto sat at the other, Hinata and sat wit han empty seat for Sakura, and the twins sat in there seats. Sakura came back with a steaming pot. She lifted the top off. Naruto, Rin and Obito yipped in glee.
"Ramen!" They all said together. Kakashi and Sakura laughed, Hinata smiled at her husband's predictability. They all broke chopsticks and said in unison.
"Itadakimasu!" They all dug into the meal put before them. Before long, everybody had eaten to their full. Naruto sat back and let out a sigh of relaxation.
"Sakura," he said with his eyes half closed, "if I didn't know better, I'd thought that you and the old man shared recipes." Sakura smiled.
"Always glad to know I can still cook." She said happily.
"Mommy is the best cook in the world!" Rin said pumping her chopsticks in the air.
"Nuh-Uh!" Obito disagreed, "Daddy is!"
"No! mommy!"
"No! daddy!" The two siblings glared daggers at each other. The four adults laughed.
"Now you two," Kakashi began, gently, "there's no point in arguing. Everybody knows that mommy is a better cook." Obito's face fell. Kakashi leaned in and whispered to his son. "But between us, I do cook better." Obito smiled again and nodded his head in approval.
"Alright time for bed you two." Sakura said. They got up from their seats and started to make their goodbyes around the table. They went to opposite ends of the table and ended up with either Naruto of Kakashi. They ran into their beds, Kakashi in pursuit. He tucked in Rin first, and kissed her goodnight, then to Obito and did the same. The Copy Nin walked back from the room and took a seat on the couch where the Naruto and Hinata waited. Sakura was in the kitchen making coffee.
"So Kakashi, have you considered my offer?" Naruto asked. Kakshi sighed.
"Yeah I've mulled it over," he began, "but being back in ANBU seems like so much responsibility. I'm sure most of it will be stationed away from home." Naruto waved his hand in dismissal.
"You won't have any such thing. In fact I need you here more than out there." Kakshi raised an eyebrow.
"What exactly did you have planned for me?" Naruto leaned in.
"Head of ANBU Division at Head Quarters." Kakashi's eye widened.
"What about Sasuke? He's more than qualified."
"I've already made him Head of Hunter Nin squadron. He's had enough experience with being a hunter nin, and has proved to be the best at it." Kakashi thought it over again.
"Give me another day to think about it." Naruto nodded his head. He turned to Sakura who arrived in the living room with a tray. Kakashi got up and helped her out.
"Sakura, how is the medical recruitment going?" Sakura set down a cup of coffee in front of the blonde Hokage.
"It's going well. We have 14 potential candidates, all of which who have studied under Shizune-san and myself. Soon, we will have a full team, enough to run the hospital." Naruto smiled.
"That's good news," he sighed, "ah only if baa-chan could see what progress we made."
"Well I heard from Shizune-san that she's coming back soon." Naruto's head turned sharply to meet eyes with Sakura. Kakashi's and Hinata's too.
"Really?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded her head.
"Yep! Seems like she's ready to come back home and also settle down." She winked as she said the last thing. Naruto almost choked on his coffee.
"You mean…" Naruto turned his wedding ring towards Sakura. She nodded with a smile.
"With who???" They all asked. Sakura hesitated a bit then whispered.
"Jiraiya-sama…" All three nins almost jumped out of their seats.
"REALLY??" they chorused.
"Keep it down!" Obito and Rin cried from their room. They all took their seats quietly. Kakashi picked up his coffee and drank through his mask.
"Kakashi you still haven't taken that mask off?" Naruto asked.
"I know! I've STILL Haven't seen his face yet." Sakura added. Naruto raised his eyebrows.
"After all these years and you still refuse to show your face?" Kakshi shrugged.
"I've grown too accustomed to it," he said simply, "and I find it amusing when people get frustrated over what's behind my mask." Naruto and Sakura sweat dropped.
"Ano…Sakura-chan?" Hinata inquired. Sakura turned to her friend.
"What's up Hinata?" The Hyuuga girl leaned in a bit.
"I want to come in tomorrow to get a check done about my baby." Sakura smiled.
"Sure! Just stop by the office when you can and I'll give you the check-up myself." Hinata bowed in thanks. A few hours passed by, the friends laughing and reminiscing about their past. At around 10:30, Naruto stood up and walked over to his wife.
"I think we better go," he said, "I've got a huge load of work tomorrow." Kakashi nodded and stood up. Sakura did the same. They walked to the front door, and helped get their coats. There was a light December snow outside, and a slight wind chill. Sakura helped Hinata outside and Naruto shook hands with Kakashi.
"Keep the offer in mind Kakashi." Naruto said with a smile. Kakashi nodded.
"I will." He responded. Sakura went to stand next to Kakashi as they waved them off. The Uzumaki's waved back and poofed back to their apartment within Hokage Tower. Sakura and Kakashi turned around to walk back inside. Kakashi picked up the cups from the coffee table and Sakura began to wash the dishes.
"So what will you do?" Sakura asked. Kakashi turned his head to her.
"I don't know," he simply responded, "It sounds tempting but what about Obito and Rin?" Sakura picked up another plate and continued washing.
"Well he said it'll be a desk job, so it shouldn't be too time consuming." Kakashi nodded. He brought the remainder of the items in and slid his arms around her waist.
"Maybe," he said, "maybe it's best if I just stick with regular mission work."
"Yeah but if you do that, there's the chance that you will be away for a long time. Isn't that worse than coming home late from the office? At least we know where you are." Kakashi shrugged.
"You're right." He said planting a kiss on her lips. "I'll talk to Naruto tomorrow." Sakura smiled and turned around in his arms to kiss him more deeply this time.
"I love you Sharingan Kakashi." She whispered.
"I love you more my little cherry blossom." Sakura smiled as she kissed him again. She broke off the kiss and grabbed him by his belt buckle.
"Wanna use that new form of taijutsu again tonight?" Kakashi narrowed his eye and smiled devilishly behind his mask. He picked up his wife bridal style and walked into their bedroom.
(A few minutes later)
"Obi-chan what's that noise?" Rin asked her brother, the lights out. Obito listened hard. He sighed in boredom.
"Mommy and daddy are just wrestling again." He replied. "Just go back to sleep." She nodded and put her head back on her pillow.
