Naruto called Ishoo to the living room after putting the groceries away.
He took her in his arms when she came running, and lifted her up.
“Ishoo-chan, how would you like to start training like me and Papa trained when we were kids?”
Ishoo’s eyes widened hugely. “Now?”
“Hai” He grinned at her.
“Uh, not TODAY now, but very soon. Would you like that?” He said.
She grinned ear to ear and hugged him.
“Hai Tou-chan! Yay!!!!!”
He let her down.
“I’m going to call a friend for you to meet, watch this” he grinned. He bit on his finger.
“Kuchiose-no-Jutsu!”
Shima appeared in a puff, wearing an apron and holding a wooden spoon, which she promptly used to bonk Naruto.
“Naruto! Don’t you know it’s almost lunch time?”
“Ouch… sorry, Sennin baa-chan, I wanted to do this at a better time, but we need your help.”
Shima looked around and took a good look at Naruto, then Ishoo, who was crouched next to him and blinking at her, and glared at Naruto, fuming.
Naruto realized he was at his new home, with his daughter, whom he had not introduced to the toads yet. He gave an apologetic smile.
“Um, Sennin Baa-chan, this is my daughter Ishoo. Ishoo-chan, this is Shima-sama, Mother of the Toad Ways.”
Ishoo bowed to her, and Shima nodded back. She then turned to Naruto, fuming.
“You give me a great-granddaughter and introduce me to her like THIS? Baka! Baka! Baka!” she yelled at Naruto, beating him up with the wooden spoon.
“Gomen-dasai, Sennin Baa-chan, ouch! Please stop! Ouch! We need your help!”
“Hmph.” She stopped and took a good look at Ishoo, entered sage-mode and stared at the little girl, who started blushing and fidgeting, for a long time.
“Naruto, you have been given a great gift…” the toad said in awe.
Naruto grinned proudly. “I know that, dattebayo. But…” he went serious “She needs training and I thought maybe you could help.”
The toad walked around Ishoo, then hummed something and put a hand over the child’s eyes. Ishoo blinked drowsily and crawled to Naruto’s lap, falling asleep right afterwards.
“Hey, why did you do that? And how did you do that, ttebayo? Genjutsu?” Naruto asked.
“That is not genjutsu and we need to talk in private.” Shima dropped the sage mode. “Be a decent host and get us some tea, would you?”
Naruto blushed and nodded, taking his daughter to bed. He returned to find Shima sitting on the kitchen table.
“Be a good boy and find me a tall stool to use when I’m here later on, would you?”
“Uh, hai” Naruto mumbled and put the kettle on.
“I think you have no idea what she is, right?”
He nodded, picking up a tiny shot glass and a mug for himself.
“Gamamaru-sama told us that when he himself was little more than a tadpole, the Ougama Sennin before him visited the Lands of Eternal Summer, and met one like her.”
Naruto almost dropped the kettle.
“How could you travel so far back then? We only know about that continent from the few people who cross the ocean for a year to get here, and none of them are ninja.”
Shima nodded.
“One ninja left these lands and traveled there, and when he got there, he used the kuchiose so our elder could help him understand how things work there.”
“The people there are very different from us, Naruto. The then Ougama Sennin said that when the flower of chakra was consumed here, the gods forbade the people from there to come to these lands, and filled the people’s energy pathways with their own holy energies, so they wouldn’t be able to ever use chakra.”
Naruto gasped.
“So they can’t use jutsu at all? How do they defend themselves?”
“They used some kinds of taijutsu, and when there is a matter of great dispute, they should consult their ancestor spirits, who mediate between them and the gods, through people who are born with the ability to summon them.”
“Ancestor spirits? Like, um, uh, ghosts?” Naruto shivered.
Shima sighed. Naruto had always been afraid of ghosts.
“Yes. They say the gods decided to do things this way so that people would forcibly have to rely on each other and nobody would be able to become insane with lust for power. The ancestor spirits are bound to the gods, and their powers are limited by them.”
Naruto pondered about that. “Seems like a sensible way to prevent war.”
Shima chuckled.
“Oh, that doesn’t prevent war. They have their wars, and politics, and all the other problems we have, for they are free people, like us. The only difference is that nobody is able to wage war without support from their whole nation, and since most people don’t like their lives to be perturbed, their wars are much fewer and in a lesser scale than ours.”
“That doesn’t explain people like my daughter.”
“That is a different thing. The gods send people like her, who they call emissaries, to help restore natural balance after great wars. It’s like you and the prophecy, but emissaries aren’t exactly human. Their souls and bodies are made by the gods from their own energies, and because there are many different gods, who each command different aspects of nature, there can be summoned different types of emissaries for different tasks. Though I don’t know why an emissary would be sent here, neither do I intend to understand. The gods have their reasons.”
Naruto put his chin on his hands and pondered.
“Hmmmm, so maybe that’s why I could see Ishoo-chan when nobody else could sense her today…”
“What?” Shima asked.
“Yesterday me and Sasuke left her at the Inuzuka’s so we could move house, and Ishoo-chan disappeared while playing hide and seek with their kids this morning. Nobody could sense her, but then I got desperate, entered sage mode and saw her. She was laughing her head off at everyone, the little brat.” He smiled at that.
“Hmmm”. Shima stood up on the table and entered sage mode, studying Naruto, who blinked at her.
“You didn’t see her because of sage mode, you saw her because she melded her being with you.” She stated, and took a sip of tea.
“Huh? I don’t understand, Sennin Baa-chan.”
Naruto looked at her uncomprehendingly, and wished Sasuke was here. His husband had a much better head for understanding complicated stuff like that.
“Somehow she absorbed some of your essence within her. It’s that part of her that is yours that you see when you enter sage mode.”
Naruto remembered the day they had adopted her.
“The day we met her, the beasts told me to feel something, and then everything went crazy, like… like… like going on sage mode, but not because I was drawing the energy. It felt like I was carried away by a tsunami, and drowned on it. After that, I just knew… just knew she was ours.” He whispered the last part.
Shima nodded.
“And now she has started developing her abilities.” She said.
“Yeah. But… that didn’t feel like anything I ever sensed. Even though I could see her, I couldn’t sense anything. That’s why I called you here, so maybe you could help us out on how to train her, so she won’t get into trouble.”
“Hmmm. Let’s wake her up and see what it was.” Shima got up again and looked expectantly at Naruto, who got up and turned to go to Ishoo’s room.
“Hey!” She bopped him. “Carry me, you inconsiderate dobe!”
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
It was lunchtime when Sasuke and his team reached Tanigakure.
“Ok, let’s see where we can get some grub to go while picking up these supplies…” Kiba said.
“No need, we’re escorting a cook. He will make us lunch when we reach him.” Shizune explained.
“A what? We came all this way to escort A COOK?” Sasuke complained.
“Not ANY cook, the BEST okonomiyaki and dorayaki cook in all the lands!” Shizune smirked.
“Okonomiyaki…” both men drooled. The closest thing they had to that in Konoha was takoyaki, and it didn’t come close.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
They were outside now, the sun being kind enough to warm the air a bit. Ishoo had put up such a huge fight not to wear shoes or socks that Naruto gave in and let her walk barefoot, after Shima told him to just let the child do as she pleased.
“Ishoo-chan, show me how you hid from everyone this morning, please? But don’t move from wherever you are.” Shima asked and watched.
“Hai!”
Ishoo stood beside one of the trees and closed her eyes. They felt distracted for a second, and then she was just not there.
Naruto stood there quietly, like Shima had asked him to be. He watched the toad turn on sage mode and look around.
“Thank you, dear, you can come back now.”
Naruto felt a tug inside him, and could see her again. He picked her up and they went inside.
He sat Ishoo on a chair and kneeled to rub her feet, which were still warm. He smiled and tickled them instead, and the girl almost fell off the chair laughing.
“What do you want for lunch, Ishoo-chan? It’s time to eat, let’s see how good your Tou-chan’s cooking is” Shima said, occupying a corner of the table. Naruto froze. He had no idea what to serve Sannin baa-chan.
“Hn. Tou-chan can make us yummy chards, and soft warm eggs, and Tsume-sama gave us a bunch of yum-yum umeboshi oniguiri!” Ishoo said, after a thought.
“That would be excellent, Ishoo-chan, I also like warm soft eggs and chard very much. Be about your business, Naruto, I’ll take care of her while you cook.”
Naruto looked crestfallen at them, but sighed and got up to make their (overly, to him) healthy meal.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
“Who could ever imagine YOU eating junk food…” Kiba chuckled as Sasuke munched contentedly on his tomato, mackerel and umeboshi okonomiyaki.
“Tch. There’s a lot you don’t know about me, Inuzuka. My grandmother made these for me when father was away for a few days.” Sasuke smiled at the memory. Ever since they had their daughter, the memories of his own childhood brought more happiness than angst, and he was grateful for that. He had missed being able to remember his own family without the pain.
“Why only when he was out?” Shizune asked.
“Yeah, Choji’s mom makes them every day for breakfast.” Kiba added.
“Exactly.” Sasuke gave them a meaningful smirk.
They pictured a fat Sasuke and laughed themselves silly.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The team was exhausted when they finally entered the gates. Coming back with a cartload of goods – ingredients for the cook, who was nice, but mostly silent, through the entire trip, and a ridiculous amount of booze, mostly sake, but also three boxes of evil looking hard liquor neither Kiba nor Sasuke had ever seen, but had made Shizune widen her eyes – had been tough, even with Akamaru pulling it.
It didn’t help that bandits had ambushed them on the way back. Apparently, the liquor was ridiculously expensive, and since the war every original member of Konoha’s 11 was worth a lot of money, along with Sasuke’s coveted state of the art Rinnegan. However, exactly BECAUSE of that, and also because Naruto and Sasuke’s marriage had been THE biggest gossip everywhere, no elite ninjas would lay a hand on them. Sasuke’s powers could be dealt with by an organized, well strategized group, with some creativity, but Naruto’s were at least 10 levels higher and nobody wanted to risk having the last Jinchuuriki alive after them, especially now that he had not one, but nine beasts at his disposal, AND all the other powers of the Sage of the Six Paths.
So it was a very large group of non-elite, but very hopeful ninjas that jumped on them, and it took over an hour to get rid of them all due to their sheer number – there were over fifty of them.
They entered the Hokage compound and delivered the cook and their load to the staff gratefully as the last rays of sun left the sky, and dragged themselves up the stairs to report at Tsunade’s office.
“You’re back.” She remarked without even looking at them. Shizune rolled her eyes and excused herself.
“Anything else before we can get home, Hokage-sama?” Asked a very tired Kiba.
“Oh? Oh, yes. Sasuke, tell Naruto I will dock his pay for today for not showing up.” Sasuke raised his eyebrows at that. “And prepare your home for the party tomorrow night.” His mouth fell.
“Excuse-me, what?”
“You didn’t think you would get away with marrying and becoming parents and moving house without a celebration, did you? We’ll make it a housewarming party. Expect about thirty guests, tomorrow at six pm. And prepare the dojo to serve as sleeping quarters for the children, it should be an all-nighter.” Tsunade didn’t blink when she saw the look on Sasuke’s face. “You will find instructions in this envelope. That is all.”
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Naruto woke up with a start when Sasuke touched him. He carefully moved the sleeping child on the couch and followed the frowning man outside, rubbing his eyes.
“Blurt it out.” Sasuke said.
“Huh?”
“Tsunade said you didn’t show up today – by the way, she’s docking your wages for the day – and Kiba was late for the mission. I’m giving you five minutes to explain yourself, and count your blessings for that; Tsunade put it in her mind to make us host a damn housewarming party tomorrow for half the village.”
“Huh? What? A party?”
Sasuke hit him over the head.
“Wake up and tell me what the fuck happened while I was out, dumbass!”
Naruto rubbed his eyes again and focused.
“I had to take care of Ishoo-chan’s training; she scared the Inuzukas and me half to death today.” He said, yawning.
“The kids were playing hide and seek in the morning before I got there, and nobody could find her. I didn’t either, until I used sage mode” he yawned again “and so when I got home with her I called in Sannin baa-chan. She and Iruka-sensei will be working together to train her and get her ready to enter the Academy next fall. After everything was settled and all it was too late for work anyway, so we showed Ishoo-chan some of the stuff she’ll see with Iruka, and then she was tired, I was tired, everybody left and we decided to take a nap.”
Sasuke was standing in front of him with his arms crossed, his eyebrow up and his mouth hanging open. Naruto kissed him.
“Let’s go inside, it’s cold out here. I’ll make us something to eat and you can tell me about this party later, sounds cool.”
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Sasuke decided not to waste more brain cells with his husband and went to the couch to get their daughter up for dinner, hoping she would make more sense than him.
He sat down next to her, quietly raised her shirt and blew on her tummy. She woke up with a sleepy grin.
“Hi Papa…”
“Hi, sleepyhead, time for dinner, how was your day?” He picked her up.
She looked at him, widened her eyes and started clapping and jumping on his lap.
“Papa! Papa! Papa! I’m going to the Academy! Iruka-sensei came and said I can start next year! And I met Shima-sensei, she’s a lady frog and she’s really funny and she hit Tou-chan on the head a lot! And we played hide and seek and Tou-chan couldn’t find me but then his face looked funny like Nagumi-san’s and he did and then we played more later and Shima-sensei and Iruka-sensei didn’t but they said that I can play hide and seek as much as I want in the Academy and that they’re gonna teach me a bunch of fun stuff and then Shima-sensei sang a frog song and Iruka-sensei made hand signs but I don’t know what they were and then he looked funny and PAPA I’M GONNA GO TO THE ACADEMY!” She actually screamed the last on his ear, and he winced, and then chuckled as he remembered that Nagumi-san, who sold greens at the market, had rather glaring taste for bright yellow eyeshadow. He also decided to talk to Iruka or Shima whenever he got his hands on them.
He carried her to the table, where Naruto was ladling some leftover okayu.
“Don’t even try to complain, it’s almost one in the morning.” He said, yawning.
They sat and ate listening to Ishoo-chan telling her account of what had happened, played with her a bit and when she got sleepy again they both put her to bed. Naruto lingered at her door for a few minutes, and then gave Ishoo a plump worm Choumei to sleep with, which the girl promptly hugged, half-asleep.
He took his clothes off and slipped under the covers.
“Naruto” Sasuke said as he snuggled close to him.
“Hmmmmmm?”
“I set the alarm clock for 6 am so you can wake up and start prepping whatever she wants, there’s an instruction paper on the coffee table and I’ve already got everything that had to be arranged today done. Don’t wake me up until 10 am or I’ll make pantyhose out of your intestines; we had to fight a shitload of people over her booze today. Good night.” Sasuke kissed him, hugged him and threw his leg over his hip.
“Love you too, teme.” Naruto mumbled, and fell asleep.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Naruto woke to the sound of the alarm clock being thrown to the wall and a satisfied sigh from behind him right after.
He quietly slipped out of the futon, pulled some clothes out of the closet, and tiptoed out of the room.
Halfway into his shower, a very sleepy little girl carrying a plump pillow-sized worm got in and pulled the shower curtain, pushed said worm into his belly, where upon it disappeared with a small popping sound, and raised her arms with her eyes closed, pretending to be snoring.
Naruto pulled her pajamas off and picked her up.
“Ishoo-chan, we have to be really quiet this morning so Papa can sleep some more, so don’t scream, but me and you are going out to get some things after breakfast, ‘cause we’re gonna have a party today, ok?” He whispered.
“A…” Ishoo covered her mouth and whispered instead “A party?” goggle eyed.
Naruto nodded and put his finger in front of his mouth. Ishoo nodded.
“Shhhhhhh” She hushed.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
They went over the instructions during breakfast.
“Lemme see… Soda or juice for the kids” he looked at Ishoo and calculated his chances of survival until the end of the day if he bought soda.
“Juice.”
Ishoo looked at him and raised her thumb. She also remembered the epic chewing out Naruto had got when he had tried walking home with carbonated sugary beverages.
“What kind?”
“Um, apple, lychee…” she put her finger in her chin. “Pear… mugi tea… and peach. Oh, and tomato!”
“Ok, that’s done… next, disposable plates and cups for everyone… oh wait, no chopsticks?” He frowned and read further “Ooooooooooooh, Tsunade baa-chan got okonomiyaki and dorayaki for us, no cutlery needed, ttebayo!”
“Oko… okonomi… what’s that, Tou-chan?” Ishoo asked, unsure how to say the word.
“Okonomiyaki, it’s like a pancake that you put whatever you want on top, mushrooms, green onions, tofu or cheese, meat, fish… it’s really tasty, dattebayo. I used to eat it with Ero-sennin, sometimes.” His face went soft when remembering the old pervert.
“I wish I had met Ojichan Jiraya, Tou-chan.”
“Me too. He would get all dopey with you.” Naruto squeezed her hand. “Now, what’s next?”
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
It took them two hours and a half to get everything, but thanks to Ino’s mom lending them a cart and Ino lending a hand to them herself, they only had to make one trip.
“Oooi! We’re home!” Naruto yelled, holding the front door open. “Ladies first.”
Ino and Ishoo went in, carrying flowers.
“Sasuke! Get your lazy ass up and come help me out, this crap is heavy, dattebayo!”
Ino and the little girl giggled while getting vases for the flowers.
“Hn.” Sasuke came out of the corridor, holding a coffee cup. “Ino”. He nodded at her.
“Ohayo, Double-U!” She greeted, and he rolled his eyes.
“Sasuke if you don’t help me out with this cart I’ll make you EAT IT!” Naruto yelled, trying to make it pass through the door. His husband calmly walked over, grabbed a pack of juice bottles and put them on the table. He repeated the process, and then went back to finishing his coffee.
“What the fuck?”
“I just helped you, baka. Stop fighting with the damn thing and pick up the packages one by one.”
Naruto shot eye-darts at him, but started to unload the cart.
“So, how many people are on the guest list?” Ino asked.
“Let me see… B, Gaara plus brother plus sister plus Shikamaru, Iruka-sensei with Kurenai-sensei and her daughter, Kiba and his sister, plus most of the Inuzuka pups…” Sasuke started reading the list as he sat down and pulled his daughter to his lap, kissing her and helping her reach the flowers to arrange on a vase. “Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei, Hinata ‘and guest’” he looked at Ino and Naruto questioningly, and both shrugged. “Konohamaru and his team, Sakura with Rock Lee…”
Ino and Naruto looked at each other and both said “Wait, WHAT?” at the same time.
“Yeah, we ran into them yesterday on our way out, if they walked any closer together you’d think they were glued.” He smirked.
“Seriously? Sakura and Rock Lee?” Ino said, sitting down.
“Ask Kiba and Shizune, they saw it too. And smelled, or so Kiba says.”
“Hey, Bushy brows is a cool match for Sakura-chan, he’s nice, responsible, got a steady job…” Naruto said defensively.
“No sense of fashion…” Ino said, giggling.
“And who are you coming with, Ino?” Naruto asked.
“Um… Chouji.” She blushed.
“I see you decided to stop dieting.” Sasuke said sarcastically, and smirked when Ino tried to hit him from across the table.
“Chouji is NOT fat anymore!”
“Yeah, and I’ll bet partial Baika-no-Jutsu is a handy talent on a boyfriend!” Naruto laughed, and ducked to avoid her punch.
“Wait wait wait, look here, Shizune with Ten Ten?” Sasuke looked twice to confirm the names.
“Holy crap, isn’t that pedophilia or something?” Ino commented, trying to read the paper upside down.
“I always thought Shizune and Tsunade baa-chan had an, er, agreement.” Said Naruto, doing the same.
“Apparently not.”
“Damn, this party gonna be good!” Naruto said, almost falling over with laughter.
