October 9 had been a rather quiet day in a very slow week, so it wasn't all that surprising that Uchiha Fugaku decided to call in sick the next day.

On the morning of the 10th, Fugaku managed to convince his wife that Sasuke was old enough that she could leave him for a day. Besides, Itachi and the rest of the clan would be happy to look after the boy. They had not been able to spend much time together lately, what with his work, and her looking after the children, and both really needed a break.

So, while one Uzumaki Kushina was going into labor, Fugaku and his wife snuck off to a semi-reputable love motel in the capitol to play "Sexy kunoichi interrogator".
