Chapter 63: An Expected Surprise
Naruto beamed at Nia as he sat down on the chair to her right side and took her hand. They squeeze each other's hand in anticipation as Tsunade set up the ultrasound machine.
"Excited, sweetie?" Naruto breathed and Nia nodded frantically, biting on her lip to keep the emotion in.
This would be their first ultrasound.
"Okay, Nia," The blonde woman smiled warmly at the girl one she finished setting the machine up. "Could you please lie back and lift up your shirt so I can see your stomach?"
Nia nodded, layed back and lifted up her shirt so her small bulge would be in view. Tsunade fiddled around with the transducer and put a special gel on it. She placed it on her stomach and Nia squealed at the touch. It was so cold!
"Are you alright, Nia?" Naruto wondered, panicking a little.
The Hokage looked at Nia with a shocked and apologetic expression.
Nia only giggled. "Yes, I'm fine. It's just cold. Please, carry on."
The genin squeezed her hand and smiled in relief.
Tsunade switched the screen on and the inside of Nia's stomach appeared on screen. Naruto and her watched the screen intently, waiting impatiently. Tsunade watched, too, and moved the transducer around the girl's stomach, spreading the gel around. It felt so cold and strange. It started to warm up, though, and Nia relax.
Suddenly, a shape appeared on the screen and they made out a head and body. It really was inside her!
"AH! THERE IT IS!" Naruto pushed up out of his chair and pointed at the screen. "NIA, LOOK! THERE'S OUR BABY, YA KNOW!"
Nia only smiled and replied, "Yes, I see. Oh Naruto, look how big our baby already is."
Naruto kissed her hand.
"It looks like..." Tsunade started, moving the transducer around. Shee smiled and said, "You guys have a baby girl. Congratulations."
"Oh!" Nia breathed and looked at the ninja.
He beamed a grin at her and kissed her lips.
"She looks in very healthy condition," The Hokage added. The couple's and eyes widened. "Can you see her little heart thumping?"
"Yes. Oh, it's so cute." Nia shared.
"Wow," Naruto grinned sheepishly before he kissed Nia again.
"Hang on..." Tsunade said and the happy couple both break from their kiss to look at her.
They watched the screen, studying its shape. The shape looked odd now, not really a baby anymore. It almost looked like an alien and their hearts sunk for a moment. But then the Hokage moved the transducer around and the baby came more into form.
There was another sac.
Tsunade grinned.
"Ah...there she is." She turned to the expecting couple's confused expressions and chuckles. "Congratulations. You guys have not one, but two baby girls."
"OH YAAAA!" Naruto cheered with a fist pumped in the air. "WE REALLY ARE HAVING TWIN BABIES! ALL RIGHT!"
Nia covered her mouth with her hand in surprise and utter happiness. Her heart rate picked up and the beeping on the heart monitor sped.
Oh my gosh! I really do have two little ones inside me. I am going to have twins! Who would have thought?
She looked up at Naruto and he looked absolutely joyful. There were tears in his eyes, just like there were in hers. He gazed at her with so much love that she nearly convulsed. He kissed her deeply.
"Twins!" She squealed and Naruto smiled wider. "We're having twins! Oh, I can't believe it."
"Yes, sweetie," The blond stroked her cheek. "Twins. Amazing. Thank you, Nia."
He looked so awe-inspired and in love with her that Nia couldn't help but to cry harder. Tears rolled down the genin's face, too.
For the first time in his life, he was going to have a family. He was going to be a dad of two.
He wiped the tears away and chuckled in joy and Nia joined him.
"Thank you," They tell Tsunade, who was packing up the equipment.
The sannin smiled at them and nodded.
"My pleasure. Would you like a picture?"
"Yes, please," Nia whispered, sniffing.
"I'll print one out." Tsunade smiled and walked out wheeling the equipment with her.
She came back around ten minutes later and handed them an ultrasound picture. She and the others congratulated the expecting parents once more.
"So you got any baby names picked out? You're about twelve weeks along so if you haven't thought of none, you have plenty of time to think," Shizune said.
"We sure do know what to call our babies!" Naruto replied with his signature grin. "I named one of them Naruta."
Everyone except for Nia sweatdropped.
Why's it sound so close to his name?
"And I named the other baby Nisaki," Nia added.
"Well, that's a lovely name," The women responded.
"Thanks."
"Now we'll leave you two be for a moment to celebrate, but we'll be waiting for Naruto boy at the village gates. He really needs to start on his training," Fukasaku spoked, standing atop the slug princess's shoulder.
"Understood, Grandpa Sage!" Naruto nodded.
And so, the three left, leaving Naruto alone in the room with his girlfriend.
"Oh my gosh," Nia breathed a laugh.
Naruto beams at her and wiped away her tears with his thumb. He looked into her eyes for some time and laughed.
"I can't believe it. I never imagined I'd ever have twins, let alone a family. And I get to share them with you."
"Oh, Naruto," Nia sobbed and kissed him with as much passion as she could muster.
Naruto responded and she noticed he was much more gentle than usual. He pulled away after a time and was smiling, glowing really.
"You have made me the happiest man alive," He said and pecked her lips sweetly once more.
He touches his forehead to hers and they stayed there for a time, breathing in each other's joy. Naruto then lets go and looked down at the ultrasound Nia's holding and she looked, too. He smiled and touched each little head with a finger.
"I can't wait to welcome these two into the world. Thank you, Nia."
She grinned, glowing also, studying the picture. She couldn't be any happier. She was going to have her hero's babies! All that was left was to marry him.
They squeezed each other's hands and kissed again.
"Okay, sweetie... It's time for me to go," Naruto then said suddenly.
"What? But now?"
"Yes... I feel the strongest urge to train and avenge what the Akatsuki, especially what Tobi, did to you and our babies."
"And don't forget what the Akatsuki done to Jiraiya-sensei." Nia reminded him.
"Trust me, I haven't. I'll avenge Pervy Sage's death too, ya know!"
"Good luck, my hero," Nia kissed him on the cheek. "Work hard for me and our babies, okay?"
"Of course," The blond then got on his knees and lifted her shirt up, kissing her belly. "Did you hear, Naruta? Nisaki? Daddy's gonna be away for a little bit to train and is going to need you both to wish him good luck. He loves you!"
"Oh Naruto..." Nia sighed happily.
"As for you..." He stood back up and embraced Nia. "Your hero loves you more than anything in this world."
"Awww. And I love you too," Nia melted.
And so, the two would head to the village gates, where Naruto would say his goodbye to everyone. Just one problem: Naruto had no idea where Mt. Myoboku even was. Bigger problem: It takes a month to get there on foot. But no worries. the old toad, Fukasaku, came prepared. He Reverse Summons as both him and Naruto disappear, leaving the others in the Leaf to solve the rest of Jiraiya's clues.
Naruto found himself in a strange place. He was is in the Land of the Toads, Mt. Myoboku.
Gamakichi himself summoned Naruto here, and so now, they all eat. Shima made all the food. Except it was all grubs, caterpillars, and unappealing things humans wouldn't eat. It made Naruto nearly vomit smelling it. Tasting it made him really do it. He would have to get use to not eating ramen for awhile.
Now that that was done, it was time to get to training and the basics of Sage Jutsu. Sage Jutsu wasn't like ninjutsu, since that used "inner energy" (Or, the chakra inside a person.) Sage Jutsu used "outside energy". Sage Jutsu used all of nature from the atmosphere and terrain to get the energy to flow in. All the nature energy could give a boost to the user by mixing up the three energies inside, making a person a lot stronger.
Still, Naruto didn't understand. Only a ice cream analogy from Gamakichi, who was accompanying the young man, was what got Naruto to catch on. Fukasaku wanted to show the process instead of explaining it so he made a hand sign, gathered some nature energy and touched a big frog statue. He lifted said statue all by himself, much to the awe of the blond-haired ninja.
That was what Nature Energy-enhanced Sage Jutsu could do, but Naruto himself couldn't see nature energy or take it in. So how does he do it? Well, there's one thing Naruto has to do first: He has to die.
Dying meaning he would stop being human, instead he'd be a frog forever. Absorbing nature energy meant one's ability to sense nature energy around you and draw it into yourself. By becoming one with nature you also gain full control over the nature energy, entering and leaving your body. It means sitting still. When you cease your flow of animal instincts and harmonize with the flow of nature, you will be able to sense nature energy for the first time.
Using ninjutsu chakra will tire up a ninja, while using nature energy will not tire up the ninja. In fact, the use of nature energy by a ninja will give the ninja the ability to heal himself quickly and conserve his internal energy.
The secret toad oil of Mount Myoboku coming from a waterfall had the ability to attract nature energy into one's body, however, it can turn you into a frog if you are inexperienced when it comes to absorbing natural energy.
A ninja must have the three types of energy: mental, physical, and nature balanced. If they have too much of the nature energy it can turn them into a frog forever, it wont be reversible.
Fukasaku revealed that toad oil had the ability to acquire natural energy, and if Naruto rubbed some on his skin, he would begin to sense natural energy; however, a side affect was that Naruto began to transform into a frog, gained webbed hands and amphibious pupils. Using his baton, Fukasaku knocked the natural energy out of Naruto, reverting the transformation.
Gamakichi explained that his jab about Naruto dying referred to the fact that he'd lose his humanity once he became a frog forever, and Fukasaku revealed to Naruto that even Jiraiya retained frog features after using sage mode.
Naruto decided to expedite his rigorous training using his shadow clones, which Fukasaku allowed. Despite being constantly beaten by the sage toad, Naruto began to sense the natural energy around him. In order to test Naruto's progress, Fukasaku asked Naruto to use senjutsu to lift a toad statue, which the genin was able to do, much to Gamakichi's surprise; Fukasaku mused how Naruto had picked up the basics much faster than Jiraiya ever did. Fukasaku then told Naruto how to absorb natural energy without the use of toad oil, but decided to give the shinobi a break from their training.
He then proceeds to give Naruto the very first novel Jiraiya ever wrote - The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi.
As Naruto reads the book, he realises that the hero of the book is also named Naruto. He sees Jiraiya's photo on the back of the book and begins to shed a tear as he recalls a memory from their training days, in which Jiraiya had hoped to change the world with his books and expressed gratitude over having Naruto as a student. Naruto had mocked his books and how they never sold, and Jiraiya had retorted that he would not give an autographed copy to Naruto. As Naruto smiles, he thanks Jiraiya for giving him something much more priceless.
Meanwhile, Madara notifies the other Akatsuki members that Sasuke has successfully captured the Eight-Tails. As they prepare to seal it, Pain reveals his new body and proceeds to declare that the Six Paths of Pain are heading to Konoha; Zetsu, Konan, Madara and Kisame begin to seal Killer B into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, only for the jinchūriki to be nothing more than an severed octopus appendage.
Later at Mount Myoboku, Naruto attempted to channel without the toad oil to no avail, only causing himself and his shadow clones to begin their frog mutation. Fukasaku informed Naruto that the key was to focus, and thus led Naruto atop a bunch of spires, telling the blond to learn how to concentrate and stay still without moving, lest he plummet all the way down. After Naruto fails to do so, being caught by Fukasaku's tongue, the sage toad remembers Jiraiya's training.
After learning that Jiraiya had done the very same training but had taken years to master it, Naruto claimed he did not have such time and thus created two shadow clones to expedite his progress. After a short while, Naruto and his two shadow clones manage to balance themselves on a board placed upon a spire, sitting without moving for an entire day, even through a period of rain. As Naruto manages to enter into a perfect sage mode, Fukasaku marveled how quickly Naruto had managed to use senjutsu without the aid of the toad oil and how he may surpass Jiraiya very soon. However, a bird landed on Naruto's shoulder and he loses his concentration, falling straight to the ground.
After his fall created an impact on the ground, Naruto realised that he had not been injured in anyway; Fukasaku revealed that Sage Mode granted the user much more durability, agility, and strength, making Naruto even more agile and boosting his already rapid recovery rate. Fukasaku then adds that Naruto has one more step to master - the art of the frog kata, a exclusive to those who have mastered Sage Mode.
Meanwhile, Taka sequester themselves in a hideout in Kumogakure. Suigetsu expressed dismay at the fact that his Executioner's Blade was left behind in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning, and asked Sasuke whether the Akatsuki would really hand over the power of a tailed beast to them. Sasuke responded that he did not need that power now that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, only for him to clutch his eyes as his vision became blurred.
Karin, however, alerted them that she sensed a chakra signature outside their hideout. J, a Cloud shinobi, had located them and attempted to use a Messenger Lizard to communicate back with his partner, K; however, Sasuke kills the lizard with his sword as Jūgo dealt with J.
At the Raikage's office, the Kage is infuriated that Sasuke of the Akatsuki had kidnapped his brother and demanded to know why the Hokage of Konoha had not dealt with him yet. Wanting to retrieve his brother, the Raikage ordered his aide to gather intel from Tsunade regarding Sasuke and dispatches Team Samui, a squad trained by Killer B, to retrieve him from the Akatsuki's clutches; he also decided to host a Five Kage Summit to deal with the problem of the Akatsuki.
Back at Mount Myōboku, Naruto began to wonder whether he could try something under the effects of Sage Mode, but dismissed the thought to Fukasaku. After getting the hang of Frog Kata, Fukasaku and Naruto decided to rest up for the night. However, after the sage toad fell asleep, Naruto quietly left and decided to attempt a technique using Sage Mode. After having succeeded, Naruto mused to himself that he shall try to continue honing this technique in secret, without anybody finding out.
However, he was tired at the moment and needed to rest. When he got back to his sleeping area, his mind drifted away.
How was Pervy Sage wherever he was? How was Sasuke doing with whatever it was he was trying to accomplish? How was Nia with his babies?
It felt rather lonely for him not to have the warmth of the girl sleeping next to him. Soon, he would be able to have her live with him once things settled down.
"Oh Nia..." He sighed softly. "Are you thinking of me too? Do you really believe I can do this?"
"Good luck with your training! Do your best for me and the babies, honeybun!" The genin remembered her words.
A new found confidence swept over him.
What am I asking? Of course she believes in me! Why wouldn't she?
And so, morning would soon arrive as a group of unfamiliar faces appeared outside of Konoha. A group of seven, all with orange hair with the exception of one who had blue hair, schemed what they were planning to do once inside the village.
"Go now..." The leader of them said. "Today... we kill the guardians and capture the Nine Tail's jinchuriki: Naruto Uzumaki."
