The Crimson Angel

Hey all. Sorry for the wait. I’m going through a bad patch in my life at the moment and haven’t had the time or the energy to write, but I will finish this story.

Okay, I need a question answered. Do you think I should wrap this story up, and have one last chapter, or continue with what I have planned, which is for the Uchiha family and some others to move to the abandoned village and make it a village of their own. I have idea of how to do that, but what do you think? Do you think this story has gone on long enough?

Let me know and I’ll get writing.

Once again this is not edited, so please ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes. My sister will get around to editing for me some time and will have the edited version up soon.

Enjoy

Chapter Twenty Five

Six months later, Naruto groaned as he sat on the couch. His stomach had swelled, and it was larger than the last time he was pregnant. He had a hard time doing anything. He glared at his surroundings, he was still in Konoha. Sasuke had persuaded him to not be so rash about his decision, he had only agreed to wait until the babies were born, he was having triplets this time. But he was determined to leave as soon as the babies were able to travel, with or without Sasuke. He sighed, he guessed he did have concerns, what about the twins? Was it fair to them to make them leave. They had friends and liked being ninja’s. In the abandoned village, they would be alone.

He thought back to the time when Tsunade had asked him to become the next Hokage, no one was more surprised than himself when he turned the offer down. He had once wanted to be Hokage more than anything in the world, but these days, it didn’t seem that important. His main job was as the Crimson Angel, and being an angel was what he enjoyed, and then being a parent was also a full time job. If he had taken the offer, he would have had to put the village before everything, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to do that. His children came first.

He remembered everyone had indeed been very surprised when he had turned down Tsunade’s request at him becoming the sixth Hokage. He could remember the looks on everyone’s face.

Shaking his thoughts away, he heaved himself off the couch, his back aching from carrying all this weight around, and went into the kitchen. The twins would be down soon and he wanted to get started on breakfast. He smiled grimly as he realised what day it was. Today was 10th October, his birthday. He didn’t want to celebrate it, as there was no point.

After breakfast was ready, he served up two plates as the twins entered the kitchen. He placed the plates in front of them.

“Thanks Da.” Amaya said cheerfully.

“Hn.” Kanaye said.

He turned back to the breakfast and was about to dish up his and Sasuke’s, when his husband came into the kitchen. Sasuke smiled at Naruto, who was as big as a house. - not that he would tell the blonde that - Naruto was due to give birth in three weeks. Standing behind Naruto, his hand reaching for the swollen belly, he kissed his lovers neck. “Morning.” He whispered.

“Morning teme.” Naruto smiled, but frowned as Sasuke steered him to a chair.

“Sit.” The dark haired man ordered, and dished up a plate of food for Naruto and himself. He placed a plate in front of Naruto and the blonde obediently began to eat.

Naruto looked up when he heard giggling and frowned at his twins who seemed to be whispering to each other. When they realised they were being watched, they pulled apart and smiled innocently. “May we be excused, Da da?” Amaya asked.

“You may.” Naruto answered, with a pout. His twins had been whispering and laughing for a couple of days now, and he wanted to know what was going on. He saw the smile on Sasuke’s face and glared. So the teme knew what was going on.

Sasuke’s smiled slipped off his face when he looked over at Naruto. His leg trembled as his lover glared at him. He quickly ate his breakfast and took his plate to the sink. “Leave the washing up till later.” He ordered and left the room. “Oh and make sure you finish your breakfast.” He called.

Naruto poked his tongue out and finished eating. After taking his plate to the sink, he tapped his fingers against the counter. He hated being kept in the dark, and especially now as his emotions tended to take over. Sighing, he waddled into the front room where the twins were once again talking quietly and Sasuke was reading a scroll. The twins quickly pulled apart and looked innocently at him. Naruto felt tears fill his eyes and slip down his cheeks. He tried to storm out of the front room and stomp up the stairs, but in reality, he waddled to the stairs began to climb, getting tired halfway up and having to lean on the banister to rest.

“Sasuke, help me up the stairs.” He snapped.

Sasuke smirked as he grabbed hold of Naruto and lifted the smaller man off his feet. It was a little awkward with Naruto’s stomach, but he managed to carry Naruto up the remaining steps and into their bedroom. He placed his crying lover down on the bed and sat beside him, his hand massaging Naruto’s stomach. It wasn’t too long before Naruto had fallen asleep.

Leaving the bedroom, he returned to the front room. Amaya looked up. “Is Da da okay?” She asked. “He was crying.”

“Yes, but no more whispering. He’s very emotional at the moment. I don’t know if it’s a good idea for Da da to even go tonight-” He stopped when Amaya used her puppy dog eyes, he groaned as he felt his resolve weaken, and when she pouted, he caved.

“Fine, but we wont be staying long.”

Amaya smirked at her brother, who just shook his head.

Later in the evening, Naruto was awake and sat miserably on the bed. He sighed, as Sasuke rummaged through their closet. He pulled out the yellow dress that Kiba had bought Naruto a month ago for a joke. He heard Naruto growl and he put it back. One day, he would get Naruto into it. He instead pulled out a pair of loose black pants and a black and orange shirt.

He took one look at Naruto and glared. The blonde was being difficult, he said wouldn’t move until he was told what was happening. Sasuke placed the clothes on the bed and held out a hand to Naruto, the blonde turned his head away and crossed his arms. “Naruto, stop being childish.”

Before he could answer, the bedroom door opened. Amaya poked her head in. Her puppy dog eyes and pout were already present on her face. “Please get ready Da da. We have a surprise for you.” Her lip trembled and Naruto caved. She shut the door, and snickered.

Sasuke hid his smirk as he helped his dobe dress. After a lot of struggling, Sasuke helped Naruto down the stairs and out the front door. The twins were already gone and Naruto wanted to know what the hell was going on. He turned his head and winced as pain flared in his stomach. He shook it off as he had been having pains all day, and just accounted it to the babies kicking.

When they arrived at Ichiraku ramen, which had adapted into a restaurant about a year ago and when they stepped in:

“SURPRISE.”

Naruto gasped in shock and smiled at all his friends, and his twins, who were smiling up at him. Even though he never wanted to celebrate his birthday, it seemed his children had taken it into their own hands and now he knew what all the whispering and giggling was about. He hugged Amaya and Kanaye and greeted all his friends. He looked around, and wondered where Sakura was, not that he wanted her here, but she had been a constant annoyance in his life, always trying to get Sasuke away from him. He frowned, now that he thought about it, he hadn’t seen her since she had tried to apologise to him, and that was quite a while ago.

He looked at Sasuke as the taller man settled him into a chair. “Ne Sasuke?”

“What dobe?”

“Where’s Sakura?” He knew the answer as Sasuke’s eyes flashed and looked away. “You passed judgment on her, didn’t you?” When Sasuke didn’t answer, he stood up and leant his hands on the table. “Sasuke?” He growled, his eyes bleeding red. “Tell me.” He demanded. He suddenly cried out as a pain in his stomach felt like a knife slashing into him.

Sasuke was by his side in an instant, and Tsunade not far behind. “Naruto.” Sasuke yelled as Naruto collapsed, already unconscious before he hit the ground.

“Sasuke-kun, hurry. We have to get him to the hospital.”

Sasuke nodded and lifted Naruto off the ground and teleported them both to the hospital. He placed his husband on the gurney and ran alongside it as the doctors rushed Naruto into a room.

Tsunade as the head doctor, took the situation in hand and decided it would be best to do a c-section. She shooed Sasuke out of the room, and he reluctantly left, only to pace up and down in the hallway. He was soon joined by Amaya, Kanaye, and Iruka. The twins sat on chairs, faces white and Amaya, trying not to cry. Kanaye reached over and took his sisters hand.

After an agonising wait for what felt like hours, Tsunade opened the door, a big smile on her face. “You can come in now.”

Sasuke and the twins rushed into the room, all with big smiles on their faces. Naruto was propped up in bed, looking exhausted, but happy. He held his two daughters in his arms and his son was led on his legs.

Sasuke’s heart melted and he lifted his son from Naruto’s lap. The boy was blonde and when he opened his eyes, Sasuke saw the boy had blue eyes, making him a Naruto clone. He looked over to his two daughters and saw they had black hair and black eyes.

“What are we going to name them?” He asked.

Amaya held up a hand. “I have name.”

Naruto smiled. “What is it?”

“Kaida.”

Naruto looked over to Sasuke to see him smiling. He nodded. “I like it.” He looked to his daughter on the left. They were identical, except the one on the left had a birth mark on her shoulder. “Kaida.” He said to her. He then looked at his daughter on the right. “Kaiya.” He looked up at Sasuke and raised an eyebrow.

Sasuke nodded. “I like them.” He smiled and turned to look at his eldest son. “Have any ideas?”

Kanaye smirked. “Haruki.”

Sasuke looked over to Naruto, who was smiling and had tears running down his face. They nodded at each other.

“Welcome to the family, Kaida, Kaiya and Haruki.” Naruto said.

Over the next few days, the new additions to the family settled in nicely. Sasuke was the one to go on assignments, and Naruto was happy to stay at home this time. The twins helped out as much as they could between missions.

One night, after the twins and the triplets were asleep, Naruto was sat on the couch and Sasuke was sat beside him.

“Sasuke, why did you pass judgement on Sakura without telling me?”

Sasuke flinched. “After what she has done, she deserved it. And I didn’t tell you because you wouldn’t of let me. I did it so you wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore. She was also crazy.”

Naruto sighed, and massaged his neck. He just nodded, and stood. “Okay.” He held out his hand. “Lets go to bed.” He didn’t know how he felt about it all, but what was done was done.

Sasuke took the offered hand and allowed Naruto pull him into the bedroom.
