If you spotted the accidental duplicate paragraph in the previous chapter before I edited it out, then congratulations! You now know how my editing system works. If I start writing a paragraph that I don’t like the look of, I’ll start the paragraph again underneath, and rewrite it until I am happy with how it looks. This time, however, I was on such a roll that I completely forgot to delete it until I read back over it later on.
You may also have spotted the new fic cover if you’re on ffnet, or the embedded image on AO3. This is the “really cool drawing” I was talking about – and as I predicted, it is really, really cool! In fact, it’s the best drawing I’ve ever made so far. If you’re reading this via affnet, or just want to get a better view, then head on over to my deviantart profile. There are now three uploads there, including a picture of young child Haru, a WIP of the drawing and the full image, titled “Godfather-in-training.”
Bear with me on the AO3 upload – I’ve never added an image to a chapter before.
Lots of technical stuff in the first several paragraphs, so prepare yourselves. This is unfortunately the only way for me to fully explain the plot points you need to know.

“I think it’s best I start from the beginning.” Tsunade remarked. As she spoke, she set about heating up milk for Haru. “When I was first made aware of this jutsu, I decided to look around and see what I could find. My research led me to an interesting discovery.”
She handed a bottle to Naruto, showing him how to feed his son. He didn’t really need any practice though, as the baby immediately began to drink without any help. It earned a chuckle from the Senju, who remarked that Haru seemed to have inherited his father’s appetite.
“In the few years before the second great war, a clinical trial was conducted, where the leading doctor of the time tested the effects of a new jutsu he’d created, with the intention of improving the chances of a pregnancy being successful. There wasn’t a lot of information, but from what I gathered, he lost his wife and daughter during a miscarriage and wanted to ensure that there were safer ways to bear children. The trial consisted of thirty people – ten pregnant women, ten non-pregnant women who were trying to conceive… and ten men.”
“But why did he trial with men if he was catering only to women?” Kakashi asked.
“He wanted to test the passive effects of this jutsu, so he chose a target group that had no chance of getting pregnant whatsoever.” She replied. The staff had resumed their work by this point, but were of course listening to the explanation as they did.
“During the first week, twenty-three of the thirty test subjects complained of severe fatigue, and five of those wanted to quit the program. But to the doctor’s dismay, the sealing array he’d used made it impossible to remove once it had been created. He had specified the end of labour as a reason for the jutsu to cancel itself, but neglected to implement any exceptions to this rule. They were all trapped with the jutsu – even the men.
“By the second week, two of the pregnant women had had miscarriages, and the extreme fatigue had extended to all but one of the participants. Rigorous testing was carried out to understand the cause of these problems, and eventually the combined efforts of both a Hyuuga and an Uchiha revealed that the jutsu was sourcing the participants’ own chakra in order to run, and the amount that it was draining was causing excessive chakra exhaustion. The strain that was being placed on the body by this was what caused the miscarriages.
“By the third week, nine of the pregnant women had miscarried, three of which had died alongside their baby. Six of the women who had been trying to conceive found that they were pregnant – and their fertilization dates all linked to the first time they’d had intercourse after being given the seal.”
Shizune spoke up at this, a horrified expression on her face. “So he’d created a jutsu that made you extremely fertile, but cost so much chakra that the baby couldn’t make it anyway.”
“Yes. Mounting pressure caused the doctor to become frantic in finding a solution to the problems – or at the very least a cure. He began taking and testing blood of all remaining participants, looking for patterns that might help him to understand what was happening. Instead he discovered that one of the males had chemicals in his blood that were only ever present in pregnant females.
“He took the male in for testing, and discovered that he had been taking part in intercourse with another male partner. He was pregnant, which led the doctor to find that the jutsu didn’t just protect the baby – it created a whole new, functioning reproductive system within males.
“In the end, twenty participants lost their lives to the trial. Four pregnant women, six of the women who’d been trying to conceive and all of the men. All but one of the women involved had miscarried, with the exception of those who had been unable to conceive in the first place.”
“But one of them made it through?”
“She was an Uzumaki, and her abnormally high chakra levels allowed her to hang on for just long enough to give birth to a healthy boy, but she died in the process.
“After the trial ended, the doctor had lost his job, and no one else would hire him because of what happened. In the end he begged the current hokage to categorise his jutsu as forbidden, and eventually took his own life.”
Naruto absorbed the information for a while, then turned a wide-eyed gaze to the hokage. “So why didn’t I die?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” She answered. “Your chakra levels aren’t just abnormally high – they’re through the roof! Even if you hadn’t had enough, the fact that you had the Kyuubi in you would likely have given you the boost you needed – although I don’t know what would have happened to Haru if that had been the case.”
“I think you’re forgetting the most important thing, hokage-sama.”
All eyes turned to Kakashi as he spoke up, his visible eye narrowed in thought.
“When a jinchuuriki goes into labour, the chakra that usually focuses around the bijuu’s seal is diverted to protect the baby.” He continued. “But when Naruto gave birth, I saw no sign of the seal weakening – in fact it seemed to be completely dormant. I believe that while Naruto’s body was focusing its chakra on the birth, the jutsu drained a part of the Kyuubi from the seal and implanted it into Haru.”
Tsunade inwardly cursed her ignorance – she’d completely forgotten about that!
“What does this mean for Haru?” Naruto asked.
“He seems to be fine enough, even at such an early birth. I think, due to your high healing rate and Uzumaki vitality, Haru grew much faster than normal. Three times as fast, in fact. So when you went into labour today, while we all thought it was far too early, it was actually probably quite late. Your due date would have been last week.
“As far as his eye goes… well, do you know how chakra paper is made?”
Always the quick thinker, Kakashi let out a gasp as he caught what she meant. But since Naruto didn’t seem to know, she continued.
“There is a special kind of tree which is almost constantly fed chakra as it grows. When you use the wood from these trees to make paper, it gives it certain properties which allow you to see what your elemental affinity is by channelling chakra into it.
“In theory, the same thing can happen to lots of different objects… or people. You, Naruto, are an example of that. Your whisker marks came from being in direct contact with the Kyuubi’s chakra while you grew.”
“Then, my mother was a jinchuuriki?”
Kakashi glared at her, silently conveying a message.
‘He doesn’t know about his parents.’
She responded with a deep frown, before busying herself with taking the now sleeping Haru from Naruto and placing him into the baby cot next to his bed. Her actions helped her to tactfully ignore the blond’s question, as he was now distracted by keeping an eye on his son.
“Since he’s potentially absorbed part of a bijuu, my theory is that Haru is a natural jinchuuriki. His body is accustomed to the Kyuubi’s chakra flowing within his system, to the point where it will most likely mix into his own as his own chakra coils grow.”
“Mix together!? Then what’s going to happen with him?”
“Honestly, I’m not sure. The concept of chakra-boosting a person like this has never been breached before. If I could guess, he’s going to have a great control over the Kyuubi’s chakra within him. You may find he has much keener senses than most his age too.
“Besides that, there’s no way of knowing what might happen. You might be able to sense him from a long distance… but he might also make use of his stronger chakra whenever he gets angry. Tantrums will be fun.”
“It sounds to me like Haru will make a wonderful ninja when he’s older, though.” Naruto mused, pride ballooning within him. “I can only imagine what he’d be like if he masters the sharingan too.”
“If who masters the sharingan?”
The loud voice came from the entrance to the hospital room, where an upset-looking Sakura stood. For a moment she glanced around, frowning, before her eyes landed on Naruto. Her expression turned into an outright scowl as she marched over to him, a fist clenched and cocked back- only to be stopped as Tsunade moved to block her path. The Senju sent a look towards Shizune, and she shepherded the other two doctors from the room.
“What’s going on here?” She shouted, loud enough to startle Haru. As his cries filled the air her attention was finally turned to him, and she caught sight of his face. Some kind of realisation seemed to click into place, and she pushed past Tsunade to dash towards him.
Before she could get anywhere near to Haru, Sakura found herself suddenly thrown to the floor, and a Kunai was pointed at her face. Killing intent flooded the room as Kakashi leaned over her, his face devoid of emotion.
“I don’t care if you’re my student…” He whispered dangerously, terrifying the girl. “If you harm my godson, I won’t hesitate to slit your throat.”
A hand on the jounin’s shoulder broke his concentration, and he turned to see that it belonged to Naruto. There was an expression on the teen’s face that he just couldn’t read, but it was enough to calm him down.
Kakashi reeled in his killing intent, the tension in his shoulders slipping away as he allowed his offensive stance to drop. Interestingly enough, the intent had served to somehow calm Haru down. He straightened up from his crouch, offering a hand to Sakura. Once he’d helped her to her feet, he walked back to the corner of the room – but this time placed himself in front of the cot.
“Why are you here, Sakura? I thought you went home.”
The question came from Tsunade, who was giving her a very stern look. Sakura looked up to her, seemingly remembering why she’d arrived in the first place.
“I came to find you, hokage-sama.” She answered in a shaky voice. “It’s about Sasuke.”
“What about him?”
“He… he’s joined Orochimaru.”

[Earlier that day]
Sakura let out a smile as she left the hospital, taking a moment to breathe in the cool air. Tsunade had taught her how to tend to wounds today, and had brought her around to different patients in the hospital to practice with.
She’d been able to get the techniques down fairly easily – from suturing to applying casts, each task had been easy enough to get a hang of. But it was what her sensei had told her just before her dismissal that really pleased her.
‘Well, now that you know the basics of medical care, I think it’s time you started to learn iryo-ninjutsu.’ She’d stated. ‘Starting from next week, we’ll work at the hokage tower.’
She supposed to others it wouldn’t seem like such a big deal, but to Sakura it was the fact that Tsunade believed she was ready for it. That she believed in her.
Checking her watch, Sakura realised that she’d been dismissed earlier than usual. Early enough, in fact, that Sasuke might still be sparring with Naruto. The training field was in the same direction as Sakura’s house, so she figured she might as well drop in and watch her crush totally kick Naruto’s butt.
The girl was suddenly dragged from her thoughts as she spotted a familiar face down the street.
“Sasuke-kun!” She called out, but the Uchiha did not turn. As she ran to catch up with him, she noted that he had a particularly full rucksack on his back.
‘That’s unusual.’ She thought. ‘He only wears that bag when we have an overnight mission’
Sasuke turned as she finally caught up, levelling a glare that was far more intense than his usual scowl.
“Let me guess, the dobe sent you to change my mind.” He spat.
“No, I haven’t spoken to him since this morning. Why?”
The Uchiha’s eyes flicked to the ground for a moment. “It doesn’t matter.”
He turned to continue walking once more, but found a hand on his arm.
“You’re leaving, aren’t you?”
It was more of a statement than a question, and for some reason it infuriated him.
“No, I just decided to take a shower underneath a waterfall.” He replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “It’s none of your business anyway. You wouldn’t understand.”
“Then make me understand!”
Sasuke tried to wrench his arm out of her grasp, but she held firm.
“Why?” She pleaded. “Why now? I thought you put everything with Orochimaru past you!”
“I had, until that asshole took away the last reason I had for staying in this godforsaken place.”
The casual remark was laced with contempt, but it held an undertone of pain. As if he was sad about something, but angry too.
“Please, Sasuke, tell me what’s going on!” Sakura begged, trying to ignore the sting of his last comment.
‘He doesn’t think of me as a reason to stay.’
Lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating his features. She realised with a start that his sharingan had activated, whirling dangerously. It was soon followed by a deafening clap of thunder, which caused her to flinch despite knowing that it was coming.
“What’s going on?” Sasuke repeated. “What’s going on is I am about to walk out of those gates, and nothing you say is going to stop me. So do me a favour and let go of me.”
“At least tell me why you’re doing this…”
“Why don’t you ask Naruto who he decided to fall into bed with?”
“I- what? What’s that supposed to mean?”
Her arm had slackened in her confusion, giving him enough time to snatch it away and continue walking with an indifferent snort. He barely made it three steps before his arm was caught once again.
“Look, if you’re going to leave… then take me with you.”
Sakura’s request surprised herself almost as much as it surprised him.
“I’ll come with you. We can go to Orochimaru together, just the two of us. If that’s what it takes for us to be together, then-“
The Uchiha suddenly vanished, appearing behind her in an instant. She was too shocked to move as he leaned in close, whispering in her ear:
“Sakura… thank you.”
A fragile glimmer of hope sparked into existence. The familiar butterflies began to flutter around in her stomach as she felt Sasuke move closer…
“But I don’t swing that way.”
Before she could even respond, a hand shot, hitting the back of her neck in a chopping motion. Sakura’s vision faded to black as her consciousness switched off, and she fell into his waiting arms.
By the time she awoke, Sasuke was long gone.
////
“I came straight here when I woke up, so I could tell you.” Sakura continued, tears streaming down her face. “But… but when I saw Naruto I remembered what he said, and…”
“And you thought it would be a good idea to attack him in front of two elite shinobi.” Kakashi frowned.
“I’m sorry, I just…”
“Don’t worry about it. It’s happened now. We have bigger things to worry about.” He sent Naruto an expectant gaze, noting with a start that he was staring solemnly at his bedsheets.
“I… had a nightmare.” The began to explain. “About Itachi.”
“Itachi? Sasuke’s brother Itachi?”
“Yeah. I woke up shouting his name, and Sasuke was there. I was confused from waking up so suddenly, and he was yelling at me, asking why I said his brother’s name.”
The teen tugged gently on Kakashi’s jacket, motioning towards Haru with his head. The jounin understood, carefully picking the baby up and handing him to his father.
“Before I could say anything he used - well, I think it was a genjutsu. But he went into my mind, and he was viewing my memories. He saw a memory…”
Tears began to well up as that horrible day flooded back to him.
“He… I…”
“It’s okay, Naruto.” Tsunade soothed him, already knowing what he was about to say. “Take your time.”
“When the old man died, I… I went out of the village for a while. I was upset, so I s-sparred with some clones. But I wasn’t fully healed from the fight with Gaara, so… I couldn’t move.”
Even in his emotional state, Naruto could see the way Kakashi tensed up. It was clear that he’d put the pieces together.
“I sensed Sasuke’s chakra, or I thought it was Sasuke’s chakra, so I called out to him… but… but it wasn’t Sasuke.”
“It was itachi.” Kakashi stated, his one visible eye hard and cold. Naruto just nodded, glad for the input.
“I tried to move, but he held me down. And he… Itachi…”
A lump had formed in Naruto’s throat, and suddenly his voice wouldn’t work. The tears he’d tried to hold back spilled over as he attempted to speak, only for his words to turn into a sob. He caught sight of his sensei staring at him from the corner of his eye and, rubbing the tears from his cheeks, turned to look at him.
The jounin had a searching look in his eye, like he’d asked a question and he was waiting for an answer.
‘Do you want me to continue for you?’
He nodded his head a fraction, blinking away new tears as he received a returning nod.
“Sakura, listen to me.” Kakashi spoke up. “What you see and hear in this room is an S-class secret. If word gets out about it, believe me, you’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
His voice was much softer than before, but it still retained an edge to it that made Sakura immediately uneasy. She let out a noise of agreement, not really trusting her voice at that point.
“Naruto was raped by Itachi Uchiha.”
The words hung heavy in the air, only adding to the tense silence as Naruto found himself flinching at the word. But Kakashi wasn’t finished. He motioned to Sakura to come forwards, gently lifting Haru from Naruto’s arms. The teen allowed it, knowing that he wouldn’t allow any harm to come to the baby.
“This is Haru.” The jounin explained, crouching down so that Sakura could see him better. It was fortunate that his eyes were closed, because he really didn’t want to be dealing with that conversation right now.
Sakura looked, wide-eyed, at the tiny baby before her. She knew immediately what Kakashi was trying to show her, but the man still spoke.
“Haru is the product of a forbidden jutsu that Itachi used.”
“Then, Naruto is…” Sakura gaped. Even knowing what he was about to say, it was still a shock.
“Yes. Naruto is Haru’s father.”
“Does… does Sasuke know?”
“No.” This time it was Naruto who spoke, having composed himself. “He only saw a little bit of my memory, so he… he thought I was doing it willingly. He has no idea Haru exists.”
Kakashi placed Haru back into the cot as Sakura’s expression changed.
“Oh my god…” She exclaimed. “He… I can’t believe this.”
The girl looked up at Naruto, a sort of cold sadness in her eyes.
“You were his reason to stay.” She mumbled. “He wanted to stay… to be with you.”
“What are you saying?”
“I’m saying when Sasuke saw that memory… he was heartbroken.”
Naruto stared dumbfounded at his teammate as that information sunk in.
“Sasuke loves you, you idiot! And now he’s gone… and it’s all your fault!”
Sakura’s words were like a slap to the face, but Naruto barely felt anything as the shock sank in. Sasuke… loved him? That pretentious teme, who’d held a grudge with him for years, actually had feelings for him?
“You drove Sasuke away.”
Her voice was broken. Empty. All the anger had melted her away as a numbness took its place, and Sakura wanted nothing more than to lock herself away.
She turned and ran, disappearing out of the door and down the corridor. Kakashi began to give chase, but hadn’t taken more than a few steps when his legs gave way, and he just about landed into a crouch. His head was spinning as all the exertion over the past few hours had finally reached a peak, and he was forced to watch as the girl disappeared around a corner.
It only took the jounin a couple of seconds to recover, but it had been enough to catch Tsunade’s worried eye. She sprung into action, trying to herd him out of the room when Naruto’s voice stopped her.
“No… please, can you stay?”
The Senju let out a sigh. “He’s used up far too much chakra today, he needs to rest.”
“Well he can rest here, right sensei?”
The jounin shrugged, not bothered where he gets to rest so long as he got there soon.
“It’s fine by me, hokage-sama. I’ll look after him.”
She couldn’t help but let out a snort at that, but motioned towards the bed anyway.
“I guarantee you’ll fall asleep within ten minutes.” She replied. “It’d be more like Naruto looking after you.”
“We’ll see.” Kakashi shrugged again, removing his weapons pouch and jacket and squeezing in next to Naruto. Being a maternity bed, it was slightly wider than most, and it was actually quite a comfortable fit so long as neither of them tried to move around too much.
As the jounin settled himself, Naruto took it upon himself to lay his head on the older man’s chest. This way, he reasoned, Kakashi would get more pillow space and be more comfortable.
“This seems familiar.” He remarked with a smirk.
The slow beating of his sensei’s heart was hypnotizing, drawing him into a daze. Even despite the emotional day, Naruto couldn’t help but smile. He had a family now, and that was enough for him.
He was vaguely aware of the way Kakashi’s arm pulled him close as he drifted off to sleep.

I’ve decided: The possible main pairings for this fic are now down to 2. Feel free to guess or vote. Though, I don’t know why I’m even suggesting you guess – it’s pretty damn clear who those two pairings are.
Edit - Ope, I did the edit-and-forget thing again.
