Naruto: Mangekyou Sharingan

Chapter 18: Married With Children...

Four year old Uzumaki Kasumi stared at her father with wide curious red eyes. Her long messy blond hair had fallen all over the place and she shook them out of her face. Uzumaki Naruto simply smiled as he stared back at his daughter who simply tilted her head to the right. Naruto penned off a few more sheets of paper and stacked them neatly. The chunnin who brought in the paperwork brought in another stack for the Hokage to sign off and file away. They were amazed to find that Naruto had finished all the paperwork and was playing with Kasumi who giggled at her father's antics.

They set the stacks of paperwork down and took the paperwork that they were required to take. Kurenai walked in a few seconds later, her long raven hair tied up into a bun with strands of it falling down to her back. She was carrying another daughter, who was two years old. She was named Asuka. This particular girl had purple eyes, a mix between her father and mother's respective eye colors and blond hair. Currently, Kurenai was three months pregnant with another child. She hoped it would be another daughter.

Naruto moved to pick up his second daughter. Unfortunately, she had a knack for grabbing onto anything shiny and long. Naruto's hair was shiny and long. The blond Hokage spent ten minutes bouncing around as Asuka giggled, tugging her father's hair back and forth. Her father was very funny indeed. Kurenai saved her husband by pulling the child out of Naruto's hands and playing with her. Naruto sighed and picked up Kasumi who stared at her father, tilting her head to the side.

"Otou-san, can you show me how to throw those metal stars?" she asked.

At the age of four, Kasumi's speech capabilities were as good as a twelve year old's and she was sharp and intuitive. Qualities befitting a ninja. Her red eyes caught almost every detail when she wanted to pay attention.

"No. When your mother is okay with it, then I'll show you," Naruto replied as Kasumi pouted.

"Otou-san! You promised me last month!" Kasumi whined.

"Yes, but a month isn't long enough," Naruto smiled softly as he tapped Kasumi on the nose, "don't worry. Your father is the best in this village,"

Kasumi pouted but had to laugh as her father began tickling her, filling the room with peals of a child's laughter, a beautiful thing indeed.

Naruto sighed contently. Yeah, life was really good. A family. A wife. Hokage. Peace. Everything he ever wanted. All he had to do was pay attention to any disturbances and watch for danger, anything that would befall his family in a bad way. Like a watchful wolf, his sharp eyes caught every little detail.

Kasumi and Naruto played whenever Naruto finished the paperwork and he doted on Asuka. Jiraiya popped by and decided to pick up Asuka for a little teasing and good fun. He got more than he bargained for. Asuka had a lot of fun, hanging from the white-haired sannin's long white hair. Jiraiya danced around in pain and embarrassment trying to get Asuka off his hair. Kasumi giggled at the funny white-haired man's antics. Naruto smiled as his children enjoyed the dancing toad-man.

A quarter of an hour later, Kasumi had fallen asleep on Naruto's lap who had taken to paperwork again. Asuka got tired and dropped off Jiraiya's hair. Kurenai picked up the toddler who muttered, "Mommy," and snuggled in even further.

"Hey, Naruto," Jiraiya rubbed his aching scalp, "I've got some bad news and some good news,"

"What would that be?" Naruto asked as he squinted at the trade papers. Did the Mizukage have to write so... squinty? Naruto couldn't really read it at all. He could barely make out the characters. It was black ink on a paper that looked like random swishes and crosses for the love of god.

"Bad news? Akatsuki leader made an appearance in Kumo. He wiped out the whole chunnin and some of the jounin there," Jiraiya frowned.

"What?" Naruto snapped.

"I said, the Akatsuki leader made an appearance in Kumo. He wiped out the whole chunnin division and some of the jounin there," Jiraiya repeated.

"Kurenai-chan, could you take Kasumi and Asuka?" Naruto asked.

Kurenai nodded and picked up Kasumi and Asuka before leaving. This was not meant for her ears.

"How exactly did that happen?" Naruto asked.

"He just showed up and began leveling the village," Jiraiya sat down across from Naruto who had pulled out a jug of sake, "all the available or off-duty ninja in the village tried to stop him. It was like trying to stop the Kyuubi, only worse,"

"What was the damage assessment? God knows how bad it can be," Naruto sighed as he slumped into his chair.

"I highly doubt Kumo will be able to recover anytime soon," Jiraiya sighed, "more than half of the village is nothing but rubble and the civilians didn't even have a chance. Only one for every fifteen civilians survived,"

"What about the ninja population?" Naruto tossed back a few cups of sake, "and Mai, the Raikage?"

"Ikazuchi Mai? She was hurt pretty badly in the fight. She barely managed to survive getting away from an attack. Casaulties? 836 Chunnin, 42 Jounin, and 52,054 civilians dead. Genin counts at 121 and rising," Jiraiya sighed, "remaining forces? 502 Chunnin and 321 Jounin left. Most of those that survived were actually out on missions,"

Naruto fished out a few papers.

"Konoha... We number at 302 Anbu, 602 Jounin, and 1049 chunnin. Shizune-nee-chan, you out there?" Naruto called out.

Shizune poked her head in.

"I need you to help me out here. Get me a hundred jounin not on duty and two hundred chunnin. Send them to Kumo and help them secure the area. It's in chaos right now and I would prefer that Kumo not fall into anarchy," Naruto stretched his tense body, "my question is what's that guy's next move,"

"Hokage-sama, I don't mean to be rude but why?" Shizune asked.

"Kumo has been devestated," Naruto answered, "Jiraiya, go gather some more info. Something tells me that is only the tip of the iceberg,"

Shizune and Jiraiya left and Naruto left the office for that day. He came home to the Uchiha compound. Sasuke was out on a mission and the house was empty except for the sound of a mother and two children. Naruto chuckled to himself and entered the house.

He heard the gleeful squeals of his children as they proceeded to grab him. Well, more like tried to tackle him. Naruto picked up Asuka and swung her around, his heart flying upon hearing her giggle of delight. Kurenai watched the scene happily. She had been right when she saw Naruto messing around with a class of academy students. He was good with children and almost everything he did with them, he tried to bring a smile to their faces.

At night, Kasumi and Asuka had been put to bed and Naruto sat in the living room with Kurenai leaned up against him.

"To tell you the truth, I'm more than a bit apprehensive of all this," Naruto sighed, "hopefully, Konoha will be spared of all this,"

"Well, you better stay safe," Kurenai tapped Naruto's nose a few times, "if you die, I'll come to hell, tear it up looking for you, and beat the tar out of you,"

"If I died, you would follow me," Naruto grinned, "you flatter me,"

"Don't get used to it," Kurenai smirked as she stood up and walked off.

She tossed a coy smile to the man she had left.

To Naruto, it didn't make her look coy. It made her look desirable. With a light growl, he reappeared next to Kurenai and carried her off to the bedroom.

'Told ya, Anko,' Kurenai thought as she passionately kissed her husband.

Anko slapped her head in exasperation as she watched the couple through a telescope, 'No dango for a week! How do you do it, Kurenai?'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning...

Naruto stood in front of the ninja force assembled to help Kumo.

"As you have been briefed, you know of the situation in Kumo," Naruto frowned, "I need you all to go and help police the area. Also, the Raikage has my permission to use you as she needs within Kumo. The following includes police force, rebuilding, and border patrol. Therefore, the shinobi of Kumo will be freed for missions. Kumo is our ally and I intend to help them,"

Naruto narrowed his eyes, "Be advised. The Akatsuki leader did this. If you run into him, then there's nothing I can do for you. Are you still willing?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama!" echoed hundreds of voices.

Naruto smirked and most of the ninja could have sworn Naruto was more of an Uchiha.

"Get going!" Naruto yelled.

All the ninja blurred into action, disappearing. The only evidence that they had been there were the small dust clouds of their departure. Naruto turned and shivered. He had had to haul his butt out of his nice, warm, and comfortable bed with that soft plushie of his. Yesterday night had been fun as well. Naruto had forgotten how many times Kurenai had screamed his name that night. Thank god for sound-proof seals that let in noise but kept it in...

The blonde Hokage entered his office and dropped into the chair and fell asleep by accident after polishing off all the paperwork.

Old lady Tsunade as Naruto had so honorably labelled her walked in on the sleeping Hokage. She checked the stacks of paperwork to find them all done.

'How in the world does he do this as fast as Arashi?' Tsunade wondered.

She took a swig of sake and opened Naruto's drawers. She found sake in the drawer as well.

'Kyomaru's Sake! That brand is so rare and expensive!' Tsunade's eyes widened in shock.

Her eyes traveled to the dozing blonde. He was still asleep, his head propped up on an arm. Tsunade quietly picked up the sake and left. She was going to enjoy this, yes she would.

After she left, Naruto cracked open an eye and opened the drawer.

'Hopefully, Tsunade loves how pee tastes like,' Naruto smirked as he pulled out the real jar of Kyomaru's Sake, "alright, Jiraiya, coast is clear,"

Jiraiya dropped in from the window.

"You sure Tsunade won't kill you?" the white-haired sannin asked, his voice and face full of mirth.

"I can run," Naruto shrugged, "now, how about a drink?"

"This stuff is good, Naruto," Jiraiya grinned as he tossed it back.

"So, I want the remaining Anbu posted on high-alert. The jounin as well. Everything will proceed as normal though," Naruto narrowed his eyes, "I feel like something else is off,"

"We all have that feeling, Naruto," Jiraiya tossed back another cup and left as the cry of Naruto's name from a certain slug sanning echoed over Konoha.

'Uh, oh!' Naruto grinned before Tsunade burst into his office.

He bolted as the old woman chased after him and for the whole day, villagers watched the former Godaime Hokage of Konoha chase the beleaguered Rokudaime Hokage of Konoha. In the end? Naruto got away and went home for the day...

Naruto slumped onto the couch in an exaggerated way. Kasumi, the little four year old popped out of nowhere and landed on her father's stomach, causing him to gasp and explode into smoke. It was replaced by a pillow and Kasumi started whining.

"Otou-san! Let me pounce you!" she pouted.

Naruto simply stood up from behind the couch and ruffled Kasumi's blond hair. For a four year old, Kasumi was a very stunning child. Her deep red eyes and blond hair contrasted each other to the point where Naruto thought that he could have been blinded.

He picked up his eldest and held her to him, "Maa, maa! When you're older. You'll be able to pounce me,"

He tried to poke her but Kasumi grabbed his finger before he could. He raised an eyebrow.

"Otou-san! Don't try to poke me," Kasumi giggled.

"How'd you know?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Otou-san!" Kasumi giggled, "I can see you coming before you actually do it,"

Naruto's eyes shot open and he almost dropped Kasumi in shock, "What?"

"Did I do something wrong?" Kasumi asked with a slight hint of fear.

"No! No! You didn't do anything. This is a bit unsettling," Naruto frowned, "tell me, Kasumi. How far ahead are you able to see?"

"I don't have much time, otou-san," Kasumi replied, "I just see this... weird thing, like a second otou-san and you appear there,"

Naruto sat down with Kasumi and Naruto sat her on his lap.

"Kasumi-chan, do you know what a bloodline limit is?" Naruto asked.

Kasumi simply stared at her father.

"It's a special ability passed down through family," Naruto replied, "you seem to have my bloodline limit,"

"Otou-san, what's an ability?" Kasumi clambered closer to her father as he admired her small size and stature.

"It means something that you can do," Naruto replied, "the ability I and your uncle Sasuke have is called the Sharingan,"

"Sharingan?" Kasumi stared at her father and almost fell over as the dark and dancing blue eyes she knew became blood red, three marks appearing around the pupil.

"Don't be scared, Kasumi-chan," Naruto picked up his daughter and hugged her close as his eyes reverted to their normal blue, "the Sharingan allows me to foresee enemy movements a few seconds before they execute it. There's a whole bunch of other stuff that the Sharingan can do but... you'll know when you're older,"

Kasumi tilted her head in wonder.

"Don't worry, I'm here to protect you. As long as I live, I'll never harm you or anybody I love," Naruto reassured his daughter.

He set her on the floor. Now why don't you run along and play?" Naruto smiled.

Naruto watched as Kasumi's feet make a slight pitter-patter sound as she ran out of the house. Naruto settled back and took a stroll down memory lane...

--Flashback--

Naruto faced off against a man he had come to hate and respect. As Uchiha Itachi stared back, he wondered if it was folly or courage that made the blonde stare at his eyes.

"Mangekyou Sharingan: Tsukuyomi," Itachi murmured as his eyes took on the shape of a tri-tipped shuriken.

The sky became red and the surrounding forest became a wasteland. However, Naruto was not restrained at all. No... In fact, he was still standing there freely.

"Mangekyou Sharingan: Kai!" Naruto yelled as the world shimmered away.

Itachi raised an eyebrow in wonder.

"So, you have finally attained those eyes," Itachi said monotonously.

"Through fire, blood, and steel," Naruto replied.

Itachi took note of their surroundings, "So, my foolish little brother has died. Pathetic,"

"Pitiful is how I would describe it," Naruto arched an eyebrow, "it seems as though your Mangekyou has destroyed your heart,"

"Perhaps, but I am all the more stronger," Itachi replied as he shifted to prepare for a long fight.

"Perhaps," Naruto said from behind Itachi, a Hiraishin kunai held at the Uchiha's throat, "but I am stronger,"

"We shall see," Itachi murmured as he burst into ravens.

Naruto scanned his vicinity with red eyes and blocked a kunai strike with his own before lashing out with the Tenkage Ansatsu-Ken. Itachi leapt away from the blade of pure chakra and gazed at him.

"You have grown, Naruto-kun," Itachi frowned, "perhaps, I can test my capacity now,"

"Well, I'll kill you," Naruto smirked, which Itachi found fitting, "to show you I'm a lot better,"

"We shall see," Itachi murmured.

The battle proceeded as Naruto and Itachi both pushed their respective Sharingan to the limits. Fire, genjutsu, and blades of chakra clashed against each other as jutsu after jutsu smashed into each other in epic proportions.

"Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu!"

"Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu!"

"Katon: Karyuu Endan!"

"Raiton: Izaguchi no Jutsu!"

"Ninpou: Kokuangyou no Jutsu!"

"Kai!"

"Suiton: Teppou-dama!"

"Katon: Kyuukyoku Hosenkya no Jutsu!"

"Suiton: Suijin-Heki!"

Hour after hour of fighting and soon, Itachi found himself being beaten back.

"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled.

Itachi dodged it and leapt away but Naruto had pointed his hand in the Uchiha's direction.

"Hijutsu: Uzumaki no Jutsu!"

Itachi replaced himself with a log and watched as the log was torn to wood chips.

Naruto reappeared by him and sent him into the ground with a flipping kick, bring down his foot on the Uchiha's back. Naruto pounded the ground with another Rasengan, only to miss again.

At his limit, the Uchiha knew that he was going to die this day. So, he prepared himself for a final stand. He timed it and opened his eyes, Mangekyou Sharingan spinning.

"Amaterasu!"

Naruto had reappeared right in front of the Uchiha with chakra blade extended. Only with a quick Hiraishin did he get away but he was forced to drop the chakra fang as black flames consumed it.

'Well, there goes my favorite weapon,' Naruto groused mentally.

Itachi slumped over with a sigh.

"It seems that you are stronger," Itachi leaned against a tree before laughing at himself.

"So, your philosophy is true," and with that, the former prodigy of the late Uchiha clan passed away, leaving a tired Naruto to take the head back to Konoha...

Throughout the whole fight, Naruto and Itachi were both using the Sharingan to try and break each other mentally while trying the more subtle methods of hypnotism. They were equal...

That night in Konoha, Naruto slept like a rock after consuming more than ten jars of sake...

---------------------
--End Flashback--
---------------------

Kurenai sat down next to her husband as he took a walk down memory. She would admit that she didn't really know every aspect of Naruto. She had found out that most of his techniques were self-made after he learned chakra nature manipulation and chakra shape manipulation. She found out that he was one of the Uchiha clan members through his mother... Naruto acheived the Mangekyou Sharingan... Naruto took down the Akatsuki bit by bit. He had even killed Orochimaru at the age of twelve, one of the legendary Sannin. He was now the most powerful shinobi to grace the five elemental countries and respect went wide and far.

He knew the Hiraishin no Jutsu and the Hirameki no Jutsu. No army could stand against him as he was a master of Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

Naruto couldn't really mind it all now... Instead, she watched him everyday... She watched him as he progressed from chunnin to jounin to an Anbu captain. He had taken a status as one of Konoha's elite jounin and raised his apprentice, Aiko, now a decorated shinobi. Kurenai watched as Kasumi dragged her father off to play and as Asuka, the two-year old giggled in joy as Naruto made fire dance in his palms. Yeah, she was really lucky...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Akatsuki leader grimaced. If he had to supress this power twenty-four seven, it would take all cognitive functions just to do so. He wondered around about how a blonde shinobi would cope when he came to fight...

Meanwhile, Naruto sneezed once as Kasumi jumped him from behind, causing him to fall over.

"I pounced otou-san!" Kasumi giggled.

"Otou-chan is sick!" Asuka squealed with glee.

"I'm fine," Naruto chuckled.

"Well, you might need to go to bed, Naruto," Kurenai raised an eyebrow.

"I'm fine, Kurenai-chan," Naruto brushed off the concern.

"No, Naruto. I'm serious," her voice lilting at the beginning before drawing it out into a drawl.

At that, Naruto's hair stood up on end, "Well, you'll need to keep me in bed,"

"With pleasure," Kurenai purred as she swaggered away.

Naruto simply arched an eyebrow and formed a clone before switching himself with it while he went into the house at light speed after his wife. Needless to say, the children never knew...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi was walking with Naruto's apprentice, Aiko. The redhead had just returned from an assassination mission down in Kiri. The wet weather hadn't suited her at all... She had tagged along with the silver-haired man, staring at the silver-white locks with curiousity.

She glanced once at the orange book Kakashi was reading and fumed. Her sensei didn't really read those books anymore but she knew he was somewhat of a pervert... Heck, everyman was a pervert. They were a menace to women, albeit small... The only exception were gay men and thank the heavens that there were only a few. There were no real gay relationships in Konoha... However, bondage was on the list... The most famous couple? Umino Iruka and Mitarashi Anko... A simple Senei Jashuu did the trick quite well...

Kakashi? The man was still single but he had his eye on the ramen girl, Ayame. A pervert was a pervert...

Her sensei had been the first to marry and have a family. The only person who did not have relationships was Naruto's distance cousin, also rival, friend, and target for jutsu, Sasuke... Kiba... slept around... He was no whore but he sure was a 'butch'... Hinata... The shy Hyuuga girl was a young woman who ran her clan with a headache to boot. Her periods made her very irritable, an uncharacteristic trait of the usually patient and enduring woman. Ten-ten? One has to see it to believe it.

She and Neji had a little... accident after both had too much to drink from hanging out with Naruto. The current Hokage at that time was a drinker who could hold his liquor very well. He emptied a bar of its sake before even turning into a somewhat tipsy drunk. Naruto had been wondering if Neji and Ten-ten were even considering marrying and had poked Neji, both literally and figuratively about it...

Shikamaru? He would have applied for a transfer to Suna but found it too troublesome. He had been eying Temari of the Sand for the while and Naruto found it hilarious to sit back with some sake and watch the lazy genius run away from wave after wave of sand.

To be honest, I always thought that the older brother worries over the younger sister, not the younger brother worrying after the old sister... Strange...

I also want to make a correction. Temari was eying Shikamaru but the guy always gets blamed for everything...

Ino? No one really knows but Aiko and Naruto both thought that Ino liked... chunky men. To be honest, Chouji took his family pills while on a mission and got Tsunade's help. If it weren't for Ino, he would have been swamped by the multitudes of fan-WOMEN that were chasing after the muscle-filled Akamichi. Chouji can often be seen with Naruto having a ramen eating contest since Chouji's metabolism is higher, he eats more and gains no weight.

There are a lot of women who would kill for that.

Sakura? Naruto found it really strange that she would date Rock Lee or even at least give him a chance. She had screamed at horror at the eyebrows that looked like caterpillars...

Shino? Still a bachelor and running from fan-girls chasing after him after they glimpsed him half-naked... Upper body, mind the dirty minds...

Kurenai and Naruto-sensei... They were the most talked about couple ever. Especially since one of them was the Rokudaime Hokage of Konoha and the other was the former Ice Queen of Konoha... The children were the darlings of Konoha, nicknamed the royalty of Konoha.

Aiko continued with Kakashi as they arrived to find a clone of Naruto playing with his two daughters.

They both cast out their senses and found both in the main bedroom... Maybe they would come back some other time...
