Chapter 16

Tsunade was sitting at her desk finishing the last of her paperwork for the day. She had sent Shizune home early, and was alone in her office.

"I've been working nonstop for the past week. Thank Kami I can finally retire soon." Tsunade thought as she eyed the drawer where she kept here sake. "No! I need to focus, once I retire I can get drunk."

As Tsunade got back to her paperwork, she heard a few knocks at the door.

"Enter!" Tsunade yelled thinking it was Shizune coming back to check on her.

"Uh shishou can we speak with you?"

Tsunade looked up and was surprised to see Sakura and Hinata standing in front of her desk.

"Oh Sakura it's you. Sure what do you want to talk about?" Tsunade said as she smiled at her apprentice.

Sakura looked at Hinata, and they nodded to each other. Sakura slowly lifted up here sleeve to show the three rings on her upper arm.

"So you got a tattoo, I didn't think you were the type Sakura." Tsunade said with a smirk.

"It's not a tattoo Tsunade-sama." Hinata said surprising the blonde Hokage.

"What do you mean it's not a tattoo? Then what is it?" Tsunade said as she stood up and walked over to Sakura.

"Uh I think it's best for you explain this Sakura." Hinata said as a slight blush crossed her face.

"Shishou this is...this is...a mate mark." Sakura said as her cheeks turned bright red.

"A what!?" Tsunade said in a slightly upset tone.

"It's a mate mark, I got it after Naruto and me...you know did it." Sakura said the last part in a quite tone.

"That little bastard, he just couldn't keep it in his pants could he." Tsunade sighed as sunk back into her seat.

"It wasn't Naruto's fault." Sakura said surprising both Hinata and Tsunade.

"What, how is it not his fault?" Tsunade said as she leaned forward.

"I...I seduced him." Sakura said trying to avoid her master's gaze.

"Well, well that truly is a surprise." Tsunade said with another smirk on her face.

Tsunade then looked at Hinata. The poor girl looked as if she was gonna pass out any second.

"Well, I really doubt you came here just to tell me that you slept with Naruto." Tsunade said as she leaned back in her chair.

Hearing this snapped Hinata out of her stupor.

"Uh hai Tsunade-sama. We were sparring earlier, and I noticed something strange when I activated my Byakugan. It appears that Sakura can access some of the kyuubi's chakra through the mark on her arm." Hinata said making Tsunade's eyes widen.

Instantly Tsunade was on her feet, inspecting Sakura. Her hands glowed green, as she scanned through Sakura's vitals. She hovered her hands over Sakura's body, but when she came to the mark on her arm a chill ran down her spine.

"Yeah there is definately some of the kyuubi's chakra in you, but except for that you seem...wait hold on a second." Tsunade said as she hovered her hand over Sakura's stomach.

"What is it shishou." Sakura asked confused at her masters sudden exclamation.

"Uh Sakura have you been feeling well lately?" Tsunade questioned looking Sakura in the eyes.

"Um I have been feeling a little sick the last few days, but what does that...you don't mean!" Sakura said as her eyes widened in shock.

"Yes Sakura you're pregnant, congratulations." Tsunade said with a smile on her face.

Hinata's eyes shot open when she heard this. She turned to Sakura and watched as a flurry of emotions flashed through her features.

Sakura started to hyperventilate as she place her hand on a nearby chair to steady herself.

"Holy shit, how am I gonna tell Naruto!? Are we ready to be parents!? Fuck I'm freaking out! Okay Sakura calm down." Sakura thought as she tried to calm her breathing.

"Hey you should be happy, you're gonna have Naruto-kun's baby. Plus he'll be ecstatic to hear you're pregnant." Inner Sakura said trying to comfort her outer self.

Sakura was shaken from her thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked to see her master smiling at her.

"Sakura you should be happy, you're gonna be a mother," Tsunade said as he smile widened. "Something I will never be able to experience." Tsunade said the last part under her breath so no one could hear what she said.

Suddenly what Tsunade said finally had sunken in.

"I-I'm gonna be a mom," Sakura said in as a hushed tone as a smile spread across her face. "I'm gonna be a mom!" Sakura yelled as she hugged Tsunade and Hinata.

"Congratulations Sakura." Hinata said truly happy for her friend, but there still was a small twinge of jealousy.

"So how are you gonna tell the gaki?" Tsunade said as she pulled out a sake bottle.

"I-I don't know, I'll tell him in a few days once I figure this all out." Sakura said as she finally sat in the chair she was leaning on.

"Well you can tell him after I officially announce Kakashi as the Rokudaime Hokage." Tsunade said as she filled three cups of sake.

"That actually is a good idea, alright I'll tell him after the ceremony," Sakura said with a smile.

"Now how about a drink to celebrate!" Tsunade said as she handed Sakura and Hinata a cup.

"Shishou I really shouldn't." Sakura said as she tried push the cup away.

"Sakura we both know that one drink won't hurt the baby, so it's fine." Tsunade said as she handed the cup to Sakura.

"Yeah you're right, well cheers." Sakura said as she raised her cup.

"Cheers!" Hinata and Tsunade said as they to raised their cups.

They all clinked their cups and downed their drinks.

(The Next Day)

Naruto walked towards where he was supposed to meet Tenten. He found the training ground, and he saw that Tenten was already there practicing with her various weapons. Naruto opted to just sit back and watch her for a moment. The weapons mistress of Konoha didn't disappoint. Naruto was amazed at the gracefulness Tenten possessed with each weapon, and how she effortlessly switched from weapon to weapon without missing a beat. Then he watched as she threw kunai and shuriken with accuracy that stunned him. Naruto was mesmerized by her flexible movements elegant movements.

But Naruto was shaken out of his trance when a kunai whizzed by his face and dug itself into the tree behind him.

"Are you gonna just stand there and watch, or are gonna come over here and fight me!" Tenten yelled with a wicked grin on her face.

Naruto turned to look at the kunai that had missed his face by mere inches.

"You could have killed me!" Naruto said as he approached Tenten.

"Well you're lucky that my aim was off." Tenten said as her grin widened.

"Oh I'm gonna get you for that." Naruto said as he pulled out a kunai and took a fighting stance.

"Come and get me foxy, and don't you dare go easy on me." Tenten said as she jumped back and unwrapped a scroll.

Instantly a barrage of kunai came sailing at Naruto. He quickly jumped over the kunai and started charging Tenten. She was expecting this and she pulled out her own kunai. Their blades clashed causing sparks to fly. They started to fight for dominance, but Naruto's superior strength was starting to overpower Tenten. But just before Naruto overpowered her Tenten smirked and raised her other hand. Naruto turned and spotted a piece of ninja wire wrapped around her index finger. With a flick of her finger Naruto was completely wrapped in ninja wire.

"Submit." Tenten said as she place her kunai to Naruto's neck.

Naruto just smirked before he puffed into smoke.

"Shit a Kage Bushin!" Tenten said as she spun around trying to locate Naruto.

Suddenly Naruto jumped out of some nearby bushes with a Katon Rasengan in his hands.

"Shit!" Tenten yelled as she jumped out of the way.

Naruto flew past where Tenten was and slammed the Rasengan into a tree. The tree exploded into a ball of flames, and was completely incinerated.

"Holy fuck Naruto!" Tenten said as she watched the tree disintegrate and turn into a pile of ashes

"Hey you said not to hold back." Naruto said with a grin as he activated his bijuu made.

"That I did," Tenten replied with a smirk. "Why don't you show me what the hero of the shinobi world can do."

Instantly Naruto was in front of Tenten. She barely had time to react before he was throwing a punch at her. She managed to raise her arm and block the punch, but it still hurt like hell. Tenten then tried to kick out Naruto's legs, but he jumped over her kick and landed behind her. She spun around just in time to receive a kick right in the stomach. The wind was knocked out of her as she went flying through the air.

Naruto was next to her in an instant.

"Shit! Tenten I'm sorry are you alright?" Naruto said frantically as he kneeled next to her.

"I am now." Tenten said with a smirk on her face.

"Wha.." Naruto tired to say, but when he heard click behind him he turned to see a dozen kunai flying towards him. He looked down and saw that he had kneeled right on a tripwire.

Naruto rolled out of the kunai's path. When he looked back up Tenten was charging him again.

"You're to easy to fool Naruto." She said as she swung her kunai at him.

But she was surprised when Naruto grabbed her arm and spun her around, slamming her back into a tree. Then she felt the cold steel of a kunai against her neck.

"Submit." Naruto said as a clone came up and disarmed Tenten.

"Never," Tenten said defiantly.

"I bet I can make you submit." Naruto said with a smirk.

"How do you..mmm" Tenten started to speak, but she was stopped when Naruto pressed his lips against hers. It was a gentle kiss that showed the respect and admiration they both held for each other.

Naruto dropped the kunai in his hand and wrapped his arms around Tenten's waist. Her arms wrapped around Naruto's neck, as her fingers tangled in his hair. Suddenly Naruto was surprised to feel Tenten's tongue asking to enter his mouth. He smirk, that was supposed to be his job, but Tenten never liked when men had all the control. He happily opened his lips, and their tongues met.

Tenten tried not to moan when her tongue met Naruto's. Naruto was being so gentle and loving with her, and she loved every second of it. But the need for air caused them to separate, much to Tenten's disappointment.

They both separated and just stared into each others eyes. Her brown eyes met his blue ones, conveying all the emotions they held for each other. But she suddenly felt Naruto grasp her hands and hold them tightly.

"Tenten-chan before we continue this relationship I have to tell you something." Naruto said causing Tenten to tilt her head in confusion.

"Okay Naruto what do you need to tell me?" Tenten asked slightly worried he might say that they couldn't be together.

Taking a deep breath Naruto began to speak.

"If we get together you'll have to share me with a few other girls." Naruto said causing Tenten to go wide eyed.

"What do you mean?"

"Since I'm the last Namikaze and the last male Uzumaki, Tsunade-baachan instituted the Clan Restoration Act for me. This means that I'm allowed to take on multiple wives to help restore my family." Naruto said as he watched Tenten to gauge her reaction.
