Chapter Eight: Big Brother
Third Person POV__
"Wow, Nii-chan you are going to be a Ninja then. When you become Hokage you better give me the best missions." Kenta exclaimed excitedly as he bounced up and down.
"You bet, If ya'll become ninja we will all be kicking ass!" Naruto exclaimed as he was practically bouncing in excitement.
The old Hokage had been talking with Mizuko and Naruto was finally getting acquainted with his new family. They were all excited to hear about his time in the academy, and before he knew it he was telling them about the pranks he played on the teachers.
They were quick to ask more and more, Nanami and Kenta quickly asking to be included in the next one.
"I'll even teach you all I have learned. We will be the best ninja! Dattebayo!" He yelled excitedly and they quickly nodded.
"You can't do that. Mama would beat you three up with a stick. She is going to want you to behave and listen to your teacher." Karin quickly stated and Nanami pouted.
"Don't listen to her. Karin can be a snitch sometimes." Nanami whispered.
"I'm not a snitch!" Karin yelled her face flushing a scarlet red.
"That's exactly what a snitch would say!" Nanami shouted back as she kicked Karin's shin. "Brat!" Karin yelled throwing herself at her younger sister.
Naruto watched in horror as his two new sisters began fighting they were biting and pulling hair.
"Hey! Break it up!" Naruto turned to see Ryuu running towards them and quickly start separating the two girls.
"What's going on here?" Mizuko waddled toward them.
"Mama!" Both girls pulled away as Mizuko's came to view, the Hokage following behind her.
"Are you two fighting." She asked in a sickly sweet tone. "She started it!" Nanami pointed at Karin. "We weren't fighting. Just wrestling." Karin stated quickly.
"And you are lying to me? You know better than to fight among each other!" Mizuko scolded as she placed her hands on her hips and her frown deepened. Both girls glanced at each other with a grimace.
Before they could react Mizuko had hit them both upside the head and they both let out a whimper as waves of hot angry chakra came from Mizuko.
"You're both in trouble! I hope you are ready for repetitions on your seal work because I want 50 pages front and back of Kanji by tomorrow. See if you two like fighting then, and in front of the Hokage no less." She hissed out and they both looked up at her in horror.
"But mama!" Karin stammered out.
"That's too much, we will never finish!" Nanami gasped out in horror. "Ah, so you want to write out your Kanji with your nondominant hand? Alright, 50 Pages on your non-dominate hand for fighting in front of the Honorable Hokage! " She nodded and the two girls paled but stayed quite.
"I apologize that you had to see that Hokage-sama." Mizuko bowed and the Old Hokage chuckled and waved it off, saying it was no big deal.
"Looks like somebody's in trouble." Kenta giggled and both girls turned and glared at him. "Be quiet baka." They both hissed at him.
"Are they not friends?" Naruto asked Ryuu confused and worried.
"Huh, yeah they are friends. Why do you ask Nii-chan?" Ryuu asked as he glanced at Naruto.
"Well, they were fighting and hitting each other pretty hard." Naruto pointed out and Ryuu waved his hand. "We always fight. Nanami and Kenta are sometimes yanking each other's hair out or playing around together. Sometimes we get along sometimes we fight. That's what family is for." He shrugged as Karin and Nanami were still fighting with each other.
Naruto looked at all of his new siblings curiously. So this was his new family.
____
They had gone to Naruto's apartment and were picking his things up. His new mama helped him pack what he was keeping and what he was throwing away.
"Okay now watch carefully." Mizuko held a brush pen within and had a scroll opened up,
They had gathered all around her to see what she was going to write.
"We have a lot of clothes, and things we need to seal away. What would be the best seal to use?" She asked as they all settled around her.
"Storage seal with at least some moderate weight capacities." Ryuu stated and Mizuko nodded.
"Yes, Now how should I draw my base seal?" She asked and turned to Fumiko."Fumiko, which base should I use?" She asked and Fumiko hummed.
"Hexagon, It has six sides so it will be balanced enough." She said as she looked at her mother hoping she said the correct answer.
"We can, what other bases can we use?" She asked and they all looked at each other for a moment.
"It's not a complicated seal, we can use a normal triangle and space, time and stasis seal. If we were doing a bigger seal for heavier things then a hexagon would be a better choice." Karin added and Mizuko nodded.
"For simplicity, we will use a triangle. But Hexagon is good as well." Shes stated as she began to draw.
" Mama, What are you doing?" Naruto asked in confusion. "we are drawing a seal. Back before our Village was destroyed we Uzumaki were world-renowned Seal Masters. With our prowless, even our Civilians could make seals. And so we learn the craft. It is not easy and I will be teaching it to you as well. But these are seals." She quickly says as she pulled her brush away and lets the ink dry for a second. She then placed the box holding Naruto's things down on top of the seal
"Uzumaki Style, Fuin: Level three storage." she exclaimed and the box vanished in a puff of smoke.
Naruto's eyes widened as the box vanished. "Where did it go?" He asked as he looked around and even checked underneath the paper.
Mizuko chuckled and smiled. "It was sealed within the scroll. Don't worry you will be studying with Tadashi and Hisashi. They will also start their seal training since they are three. I will make sure you learn at your own pace. We all learn seals at a different pace and we all have strengths and weaknesses." She smiled and Naruto looked at her with wide eyes.
Soon they were walking out of the apartment building.
They were all rowdy and following Mizuko who was going to the market to buy groceries for dinner.
Naruto was quiet, he was very happy to have a family but he could not help but be a bit confused.
For example, Karin and Nanami were now chatting and giggling together although earlier they had been trying their best to hit each other.
Another thing that confused him was how he could still feel that constant buzz around him. He was noticing that everyone felt a bit different.
Karin was like a nice cold river. Fumiko was like static almost like a broken TV on a blank static screen or maybe like when it was about to rain and there were large clouds of lightning. So was Ryuu who had that same aura around him that Fumiko had. Nanami was hot like a campfire crackling in the night.
He glanced at Kenta who was swinging Tadashi and giving him kisses on his cheeks. Kenta was like a river as well.
Both Hisashi and Hayami were like the great big hashirama trees in the village, or maybe like nice wet and soft soil after it rained.
Yukio was the only odd one out, His presence felt like a breeze. It reminded him of when he would sit in his apartment balcony and the wind was blowing against his skin.
He was so busy trying to figure out what everyone around him felt like that when he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder he jumped.
"Is something wrong?" Mizuko asked concerned. Naruto glanced up at her. "Mama, why does everyone feel different?" He asked confused as he looked back at his siblings.
"Hmm, I am assuming you can feel their chakra?"Mizuko asked and Naruto looked confused. "What's Chakra?" He asked confused.
"Chakra is an energy inside of us. It is a mixture of our Physical and Spiritual energy. For us, we are sensitive to chakra. I am assuming your Chakra had been sealed up before so you didn't notice. But it is all around us. Your siblings all have different kinds of chakra. That is why they feel different." She smiled softly as she kept walking.
"Everyone's chakra is similar because we all have one of the 5 chakra types Wind, Fire, Water, earth, and lightning. But if you pay close attention you will notice that they are all a bit different." She finished and kept walking forward.
Naruto wrinkled his nose and looked at the civilians around him. Since he was paying attention to them he noticed the soft hum of their chakra.
His eyes widened slightly. He had not noticed them before because his siblings had these massive presences. But he could feel the small pools of chakra of the people around him.
Some were calm and smooth. Others were jittery or even hot and angry.
"Why are ours bigger than everyone else's?" Naruto turned to Mizuko who chuckled.
"As a clan, we have massive chakras compared to everyone else. You'll find it easier to find us than anybody else. How do you think I was able to tell that you were an Uzumaki."She patted his head and turned to a merchant.
Mizuko quickly began picking out vegetables and asking for prices.
"Of course Miss the total is-Oye brat I thought I told you not to come around here." The merchant's face turned red in anger as he noticed Naruto in the crowd of red-haired children.
"Brat?" Mizuko turned and noticed Naruto's pale face.
"Excuse me, Are you talking to my son?!" Mizuko gasped as she turned to the man in shock.
"No, It's that trouble-making brat." He sneered as he pointed to Naruto.
Mizuko could feel her anger flare as the man pointed his grubby finger at her oldest child.
"How dare you speak to my son like that!" She snapped as she turned to the man furiously.
"Your son?" The man spluttered out. Mizuko instantly grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him toward her.
"Yes! My son! How dare you speak to him like that!" She yelled at the man in anger.
"Impossible that brat is an orphan!" He exclaimed in shock. People were quick to notice the commotion and stop to see what was happening.
"Preposterous! I lost him many years ago and have finally been able to reunite with him. I am his mother! There is no possible way my little boy is an orphan!" She snapped back at him.
"You can keep your merchandise. There is no way I am buying food from such a despicable person! Just you know that we Uzumaki-Senju will never forget this! Good day. Come children don't talk to men like that. It might be contagious!" She sneered loudly and walked away from the stand.
The kids all glanced at the man who was staring at them in shock. "You heard mama, Don't look at it. It might be contagious." Karin led her younger siblings forward to their raging pregnant mother who was storming down the main road.
Naruto was being dragged down the road as well and he was staring at his new mother with wide eyes.
People moved out of the red-haired woman's way. People stared at her in shock from her previous outburst. "How dare that old greasy bastard talk to one of my babies that way." She hissed as she walked up to another merchant.
The kids crowded around the angry red-haired woman.
"Oh, mama's furious." Kenta gulped as he stood beside Naruto whose hand she was still holding.
"She's scary." Naruto whispered back to Kenta who nodded in agreement.
"Mama, You're squeezing Naruto-nii's hand." Kenta poked Mizuko who turned to him quickly.
"I am what?" She looked down and flush. " Oh my goodness. I'm sorry honey." As she noticed she had been squeezing his hand.
"It's fine mama." Naruto replied still looking at her in shock. "I just got so mad. That greasy old man I'll never forgive him for talking to you like that. If I wasn't eight months pregnant I would have jumped over that table and showed him a thing or two." she huffed as she turned back to the merchant.
"We will be getting these vegetables." She quickly picked them out and handed it to the merchant.
He looked at her for a moment and then at Naruto. Mizuko glared at the man.
"Do you have a problem with any of my children? If you do, Just know that the other guy got lucky." she signaled to the merchant two stalls down who was still staring at her in horror.
The man quickly shook his head. "T-that would be fifty Ryo m'am." He stammered out. She scoffed and unsealed a coin purse from her wrist quickly counting the money.
"Hmph, I was starting to think this village was full of child-abusing scum. Luckily it seems that it was just a one-time case."
She picked up the basket and started to waddle away. "Come, kids, I still have to cook dinner." She called out, her anger dimming slightly.
They all quickly followed her, even little Hayami seemed to be behaving as she was wrapped on Mizuko's back.
Although Naruto found her a bit scary when she was angry. He could not help the small smile on his face at the thought that someone was willing to protect him like that.
___
The apartment was not too cramped but it was a one-bedroom. Mizuko had insisted that they only needed one room. When the Hokage asked her response was. "How could I sleep in peace if my children are not nearby. One room is all we need."
She had cooked a large healthy meal with rice, meat and plenty of vegetables.
At first, Naruto had been a bit against eating the vegetables but Mizuko quickly began a lecture on how he would not be able to be a strong ninja without it. And if he didn't eat it his baby siblings would all end up being taller than him.
That and the fact that they tasted great.
Naruto was smiling widely, his new family would defend him, eat with him, teach him and be there for him.
Secretly he did not mind eating the vegetables Mizuko had cooked, it was the first meal he ever had with his family and he wasn't sure if it tasted great because he was surrounded by people who loved him or if his mother's cooking skills were the best. But he made sure to get a second helping of everything.
"That was great!" Ryuu smiled as he was helping in picking up the dishes.
"Well, I am going to bed." Nanami quickly stated.
"Ahem. You don't think you will be getting out of your punishments? 50 pages front and back on your non-dominant hand ." Mizuko stated and Karin groaned loudly and slammed her head on the table. "She remembered." Nanami groaned loudly as well.
___
That night they set the futons down. Naruto was confused when he noticed that all of the futons were placed close together.
"Now everyone settle down and get some sleep." Mizuko stated as she was changing Hayami's diaper.
"Maaamaaa!" Hayami squealed as she rolled and crawled away flopping onto the futon.
Everyone started crawling in and just laid anywhere on the Futon.
Naruto looked around and decided to lay down at the edge a bit apart from the rest of his siblings. He was still a bit shy and everything was new to him.
"Lights out." Mizuko called out as she turned the lights off.
They were a bit chatty and Naruto listened as they spoke in quiet whispers.
The day had been long, he started to think back about everything that happened.
He met his new family, at first he had been scared that they would not accept him. but they accepted him as one of their own easily.
When the merchant had yelled at him, he had feared that his new mom would also act the same way. His heart had nearly stopped, for a moment he thought they were going to treat him like everyone else.
But he had never expected for his new mother to get so angry at the man. To be honest he had never seen anyone that angry in his life. But he felt a happy buzz in his chest when he noticed she'd defend him so fiercely.
He was brought out of his musing as he felt a small hand on his cheek, He looked up to see Hayami staring down at him with her big violet eyes. She smiled widely at him as she laid down beside him.
He stared at her wide-eyed as she snuggled into his chest. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, before he knew it he was fast asleep.

Naruto POV___
I woke up to someone talking. I was smiling as I thought of my dream. My eyes snapped open as I felt something move around by my arms.
I looked down to see Hayami sprawled out beside me. I quickly sit and noticed that I had moved in my sleep and that all around me my family was sleeping. They were like a pile of limbs and somehow we ended up moving throughout the night.
I quietly sat up and noticed almost everyone was sleeping. Fumiko was reading a book to Tadashi who was eagerly trying to turn the page.
I couldn't help the smile on my face when I realized it wasn't a dream. I had a family now. I still didn't know how to act around them but I would be the best big brother I could.
___
It was rowdy Mama had us eating breakfast and then brushing our teeth. We were going to go to work at the temple again.
"I can't wait to live in the temple. When it's fixed we will be able to live there, And maybe we can become Uzumaki priests." Fumiko smiled as she ate her food.
"Uzumaki Priests?" I looked at her confused and she nodded.
"Mama told us once, back in Uzushio there were priest and priestesses. They would dance and sing. She says they were special kinds of warriors and that they used the Masked temples to bring back our ancestors. And they would also have seal masters who would be able to do amazing things."Fumiko nodded happily.
"Here I'll show you. They danced like this." She quickly got up and started to sing.
"From the ocean, we rise, O, Strong warriors who's ashes scattered in the winds. Listen to the waves and the tides of our island home. Whirlpools are dancing the wind is singing. return home oh go home. " She sang loudly and began to dance, I watched in awe as she moved around and sang.
"Warrior to the core and masters of the seals. But part of the ocean and to seafoam return. The whirlpools are dancing and the wind is singing. Young and Old the ocean we call home." I noticed that even Hisashi was trying to sing along and I turned to see mother smiling and start singing.
"Children of the ocean and tides we are, the island we call home where the whirlpools dance. So dance to this old tune and remember where you're from. The ink is in your blood and the oceans on your mind Sing and dance, Dance and sing for the ocean loves you and awaits you. The whirlpools are dancing to our familiar song, we carry them from old and when death comes and claims you return to the ocean foam, where we will be back home!" I couldn't stop smiling as everyone was singing loudly.
Mama was swaying and singing as she got Yukio and Hayami ready to go out. I found myself wanting to dance with them as well.
"So they sang like that?" I asked excitedly.
"You haven't seen anything yet. When mama dances she looks amazing. She says it's an ocean dance. We sing it for our fallen clan members who didn't make it back to the island, although we aren't islanders anymore it's still our homeland." Ryuu nodded and mama flushed.
"Well, I can't dance around as much right now. But once the temple is fixed I'll teach you all about our homeland." She smiles and pats my head. I couldn't help the smile on my face as I thought about learning more.
Before we knew it we were back in the temple. A man named Tenzo was helping mama. We were stuck throwing away the rotten wood that had been at the temple.
The entrance was almost finished, but I had barely felt the time go by. Mama was singing and working. I was playing with everyone while we took breaks and let the pile of wood build up.
Hayami was always following me too. Karin said it was because she liked my chakra, she said it was nice, warm and windy.
"Yamyam-chan that's her new nickname. It's like her name Hayami." I say as I carried her in my arms.
"Yamyam-chan. I like it!" Nanami squealed. "It's like Fumiko's nickname Fu-Chan." Ryuu pointed out.
"What about Yukio, he's also a baby and needs a nickname." Karin pointed out.
"I got it! Hear me out. Yukio will be Yuyu-chan and Hayami will be yaya-chan!" Nanami stated and we all nodded.
"But I like Yamyam-chan for Hayami." Fumiko meekly stated.
"My idea is better though."Nanami crossed her arms. Fumiko backed down meekly and Karin huffed. "Yamyam and Yuyu, and Naru-nii chan came up with the nickname first." She stated and Nanami huffed.
"Why are you taking Fu-chan's side?"She asked hotly.
"Because unlike you Fumiko will just go along with it even if she doesn't want to. So be nice to her you headstrong bull." Karin huffed and nanami gasped.
"I'm no bull." She huffed and Kenta giggled. "Out of the way, these two idiots are about to fight." He pulled Tadashi and Hisashi away from them.
"Hey! Who you calling an idiot?" They both snapped as they glared at Kenta. "Hey, calm down. No need to start fighting. besides, do you want mama to see you fighting?" Ryuu spoke up and they both grimaced.
"Yeah, and we can use both Yamyam and Yaya as nicknames." I say and they both huffed.
"Saved by my nii-chans, I thought they were going to tag team me." Kenta let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey get this wood!" I turned to see a big pile of wood waiting for us.
"C'mon we have work, Paper, rock, scissors. Whoever wins gets to stay here and watch the kids." Ryuu says and we all nod before beginning an intense game of paper, rock, scissors.
___
Another day went by and my weekend was over. Everyone was excited about going to drop me off to the academy. Mama had stated that she would walk me there and that she would see about signing Karin, Ryuu, and Kenta up. Since they were the only ones old enough to go.
"Books, notebooks, pens, and pencils. Alright, You backpack is all set."Mama stated as she double-checked my backpack.
"Everyone ready to drop off your big brother Naruto?" She asked as she handed me my backpack and picked up a waddling Hayami.
"Yeah!" Nanami squealed. "Yeah!" Tadashi copied her actions and looked back at her. "Hohoho, It seems you are learning from the best young Tadashi. If you keep up you'll be like a mini-me."She smirked as she rubbed her chin.
"We don't need two idiots running around." Karin huffed as she put on Hisashi's shoes.
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Nanami protested loudly. "Girls it is too early for your bickering. Now, this is the first time we walk your brother to the academy and the first time you will see where you will be going to school to." Mama scolded them as she was wrapping cloth to keep Hayami on her back.
"Maybe we can start school too." Ryuu smiled excitedly.
"Hand Yukio-chan."Mama quickly grabbed Yukio's hand and opened our apartment door.
"Alright everyone file out!" She called out.
"Ryuu, Hisashi, Nanami, Tadashi, Karin, Fumiko, Kenta, Hisashi, and Naruto. Alright. The gang is all here, let's go." She smiled widely.
I was walking beside Mama and we all hurried to the academy. Mama waddled as she walked and she looked a bit funny but that's okay cause I still love her.
"Mama, why is your tummy big?"I ask her. I had been curious for a while now.
Mama let out a loud laugh. "Naruto, Honey. I'm pregnant." she smiles back but I was still confused. What did that mean?
"What's that? Is that a kind of food you eat?" I ask.
"It means she's gonna have a baby soon. Before you know it mama is going to leave and come back with a very tiny baby." Karin smiled widely and my eyes widened.
"You have a baby in your tummy? Did'ja eat it?" I asked worriedly.
"Well, that's where babies grow. It's like a seed that was placed in my stomach and it grows there where it's safe and warm. When it is big enough I'll go to the doctors to take it out." she smiled at me and I nod.
"So is it a boy or a girl?" I ask and she shrugs. "We will find out when the baby is born. I don't really mind as long as my baby is healthy." She smiles as she rubs her stomach.
"So that means, Imma have 10 kid brothers and kid sisters." I say as I look down at my hands and she laughs.
"Don't worry you'll be a great big brother. Hayami already likes you and I think the twins do as well. As for the girls, well they're a bit fussy but no sweat."
___
They were all excited to see the academy and I was happy showing them around. They were my kid sisters and brothers. I also have to become much stronger too. If anyone tries to bully them I'll show them what it means to be Uzumaki. Dattebayo.
I showed Mama the front office and she was talking to the lady at the front desk about applications. I couldn't hear what they were saying but mama had a serious expression and was nodding.
"Alright, so I spoke to the secretary. She says you can't join until next term." I could feel Karin, Kenta's and Ryuu's disappointment.
"But I will make sure you guys all caught up so you can enter to the correct class. I was given the First and Second-year syllabus and we also have Naruto's old textbooks at home. So give mama a few days to learn the material and I'll be homeschooling everyone!" She smiled widely and they blanched slightly.
"But I'll do that while I am recovering from the baby. Right now we need to progress on the temple before the baby is born."
"Now I also want to talk to Naruto's teacher. So everyone stay out here." She smiled and I felt my face go pale. If mama talks to Iruka sensei when I do pranks will he call her and will she make me do 50 pages of kanji like she did to Karin and Nanami or worse will she get upset and lecture me!!
"Come on Naruto, They told me he was in the teacher's office. I am sure you know where that place is at as well.
____
Mizuko POV
I had Naruto lead me to the teacher's lounge. I knocked on the door and they quickly let us in. I notice some teachers instantly looked at Naruto and I could feel their chakra buzzing with different emotions.
"I need to speak with Iruka-san?" I called out as I looked around the room. I couldn't help but become nervous in a room full of ninja.
"That would be me. I hope Naruto's not caused any trouble for you, Miss." A man olive tan skin stated as he walked right up to us. He had his brown hair in a ponytail and a scar on his nose.
What I want to really know is why this village has such handsome men?! This should really be a crime, First the Gate guards, then some of the ones working in the office at the Hokage tower, Even
the wood-styler helping me at the temple was kind of cute if you remove that god awful protector he wears on his face.
They should call this the village hidden in handsome with all the single good looking shinobi men, who I was still terrified of. A sin! This whole village was full of 'em. Kusa men looked like absolute shit compared to them. Only Akio had some good looks to him.
"No, Naruto's hasn't caused me any trouble at all. You see I was told you were his main teacher. Is that correct?"I ask him and he nods.
"Well, then it is a pleasure meeting you Iruka-san. I'm Mizuko Uzumaki-Senju. I've recently taken him in as one of my own. As his mother, I want to make sure I was acquainted with his teacher." I say with a smile as I shook his outstretched hand.
"So you got adopted?" Iruka glanced at Naruto with wide eyes and then back at me as if assessing me.
"Yup, Jiji made it official already. And guess what, I have 9 Kid brothers and Sisters. They'll be joining the academy next year too." Naruto smiled widely at his teacher.
Iruka's eyes slightly widened. "Wow. Congrats Naruto. That's great to hear."He smiled widely and patted his head.
"Also, Iruka san. I just wanted you to know that if anything comes up you can always call me up. I know most of my kids can be a bit troublemakers. They just have way too much excess energy and sitting around all day doing work is not their strong suit. " I say and I notice him cock a brow.
"Excess energy?" He asks confused and I nod.
"Uzumaki like Naruto are born with massive chakra reserves. We tend to lack in chakra control and so it is a bit hard for them to sit still for long periods of time. I will work diligently on his chakra control and clan training, but I also want to make sure he excels here as well. And since you are his teacher I am sure it would be beneficial for you to know that tidbit of information since it might affect his ninja career." I say and he nods.
"Alrighty then, Naruto make sure you listen to your sensei and behave and don't think I won't punish you if you are misbehaving in class. Try your best as well." I ruffle his hair and kiss his forehead as I hand him his bento box.
"Okay mama." he smiles and nods to me. "So if any issues arise, give me a call and I'll come running. Okay." I smile at him.
"Of course, if anything happens I'll contact you then." he nods and bows. I bow back at Iruka -san before leaving the teachers lounge.
____
We went back to the temple and Tenzo-san had been shocked to see that all I did to use wood style was build up my chakra.
That's when he showed me the hand signs to some of the Jutsu that he used. I had been shocked when I realized how much easier it was with them. I was able to make more with less chakra and hence I was less exhausted.
We had finished the foundation and the porch. We were even able to replace the massive columns and we were going to start with the outside tomorrow.
The kids had left to go to the park and play. Of course, they asked for permission first before leaving.
When they came back they were all sweaty and tired from playing. Even the youngest two had played their fair share.
We finished at around 4:00 pm and we quickly went to pick Naruto up from the academy.
___
We had waited outside for a bit but soon we saw his familiar blond hair coming out of the building.
"Big Brother over here!" Nanami shouted loudly as she jumped up and down.
"Don't be so loud."Karin huffed and Ryuu sighed as they both started to fight again.
"Oh, would you look at that. Karin practically called you a-" Kenta started off before I interrupted him.
"Kenta, stop instigating fights." I say sharply and he quickly shut up.
"Hey, You guys are picking me up too?" Naruto asked wide-eyed.
"Well for today we will." I smile as I ruffle his hair.
___
Before we knew it a month had nearly gone by.
I was due any day and for the temple, we had only managed to get all of the outside and all of the important parts of the inside.
We were also remodeling the entire inside.
I had almost replaced all of the old seals.
I made sure that no one that was not an Uzumaki would be entering the innermost parts of the temple.
I had also found some of Mito-sama's work.
I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her seal work. Her lines were so smooth and clean and all of her seals had almost seemed perfect. She must've been a level fifteen seal master or maybe even a grandmaster.
I could feel myself become giddy in learning her seals and sealing style.
As for Naruto, I had placed the seal of a thousand eyes on him.
The only complication I had was of the odd seal on his stomach. The way it was placed showed the mark of a level ten or higher seal master. Not Mito's level but very high up in the ranks.
But there was something about it the was just so unnatural. Some of the functions had seemed nearly impossible with normal seal work.
Like if the Shinigami himself had finished off the seal. But whatever it was they must've paid a high price for a seal like that.
I had managed to draw the seal of a thousand eyes on his back and the freckle ended up on his left wrist.
I had been upgrading the seal as well. I wanted a more connection with the seal so I added a pulsing system. If we were ever in trouble we could send a pulse of chakra to the seal and alert one another.
Since they were going to be ninja I figured that it would be easy to be aware of each other.
"Alright we are gonna go home and eat. Tomorrow we can come back and work on the temple." I say as I stretched slightly.
"Mama." Yukio smiled as he was walking towards me.
"Mama, what do you want us to do with this?" Fumiko called out as she held up a toolbox.
"Place it inside the temple over there. We don't need it getting lost."I yell back and turned to grab Yukio.
I paused for a second as I noticed he was not there.
"Yuyu-chan.It's time to go." I say as I look around and waddled toward the corner he had just been coming from.
"I swear he was here a moment ago." I mutter to myself as I look around.
"Yukio!"I yelled as I looked around.
"Okay, we are ready to go." Naruto smiled as he carried Hayami in his arms.
"Wait a moment. We have to find Yukio. He was right here."I say with a frown as I take a look around and start to look for his seal.
My mouth felt dry and my heart froze as I felt his seal moving away from us.
"They took Yukio, Someone has taken my baby!" I screamed as I ran toward the direction of his chakra.
My mind went blank as I chased after his seal.
"Mama, what happened?" Karin yelled but I could barely hear her as I ran.
"Your brother has been taken. Someone took my baby" I screamed in horror as I glance back at them.
They might be trying to take another one.
"Oh god, What do I do. They are already so far away!" I was breathing heavy as this happened.
"Mama!" Tadashi squealed as I collapsed.
My head felt fuzzy and I was finding it hard to breathe. "We have to find your brother."I whimper out as I felt something run down my leg.
My eyes widened as I felt my water break.
"Mama!" I could barely hear them as I was on the verge of passing out. My breathing was heavy and I was so scared for my little boy.
" We have to get a ninja. Hurry, get someone to help us." I stammer out as I tried to calm down but I was almost sobbing. Someone had taken my little Yukio.
"Stay here, I'm going to get help." I heard naruto say as he ran off.
"My baby, they took my baby." I held on tightly to Karin's hand. I could hear Hisashi crying loudly, probably scared.
I wanted to comfort him but I could barely get myself together.
"Ryuu help me set mama, down." Karin called out and everything around me swirled. I was panicking and in labor.
Maybe it was the scare and panic that caused me to go into labor now.
My vision blurred and I felt everything go dark.

As I opened my eyes I notice I was in a bed.
"Her heartbeat is stable again."
I opened my eyes and looked around.
"My children, where are my children?" I asked and the nurse placed a hand in mine.
"They are in the waiting room." She tried to calm me down but I try to stand up.
"No! Bring them here. I need my children here now!" I scream as I tried to get up.
"Please calm down. You are in labor." The doctor tried to say and I let out a scream as I felt a contraction.
" I do not care, I will not be still unless my children are in this room with me. Now! " I scream out as I kicked a nurse and tried to stand up, ignoring the pain.
"Bring her children, they can sit in that corner over there. M'am please calm down. We will bring them here." He says and I tried to settle down. I could see a nurse leave and a minute later I could feel their seals come closer and I calmed down slightly.
"Someone took one of my younger children. They took my little Yukio, Get some ninja. Tell the Hokage. My son was Kidnapped." I say grabbing to the doctor's hand.
"The Hokage has been informed." The doctor stated and I gave a nod.
"Mama!" they all seem to rush to my side.
I look at them and relaxed a little. "Someone took your brother and they are getting further and further. Karin bring me a brush and ink." I say and she quickly nods.
"Ryuu, Kenta as one of the oldest you will protect your siblings. Do not let them out of your sight. They could attack again." I say sternly as I grimaced from the pain on my contraction.
I glanced at Naruto who was staring at me as well.
"Naruto, you are the oldest and the one with the most shinobi training. You will be the one to find your brother." I say through heavy-lidded eyes.
Karin returned and gave me the ink and brush.
"Take your shirt off." I instructed him and he quickly did.
I activated the seals and I could see the massive matrix of the seal of a thousand eyes on all of them.
I gritted my teeth, my chakra control was a bit bad at the moment and instead of just revealing his seal I had shown everyones. Maybe even Yukio's who was far away.
"Come closer." I say as I began to add more to his current seal.
It took me longer than usual to draw the seal but I was able to do it. I waited for my contraction to end before finishing the seal.
"Uzumaki Style, Fuin: Seal of a thousand eyes, The Guardian." I heave out as the complex seal itself merged with the one he already had.
I took his hands and pushed my chakra through him so he could feel the seals present.
He glanced around to see that he could feel his sibling's chakra through the seal.
"Concentrate. You have to find Yukio's." I say as he closed his eyes to concentrate.
The seal took some practice to get used to, but we barely had time.
"Do you feel it. The one that is the furthest away?" I ask and he slowly nods.
"That is your brother. You have to save him." I say while panting as I felt another contraction.
"Go to the Hokage, tell him you can locate Yukio and save your baby brother. You can do it." I say through the pain and he nods as he runs out of the room.

Naruto POV
I hurried out of the room and made my way to the Hokage tower. I had been there plenty of times before and they would let me through the security measures easily.
I found Jiji in his office ordering other ninjas to find Yukio.
"Jiji! You have to send me with them!" I yell out before the ninja could leave. I was out of breath and my heart was pounding out of my chest.
I couldn't believe someone was had taken my baby brother while we were not looking.
He didn't say anything as he stood up and walked toward me.
"These runes, You have seals all over you." He stated an angry look in his eyes as he stared at my arms and face.
I look down and notice the seal was still not compressed and I had lines of ink all over my body.
"Mama gave it to me, It was to find Yukio. She placed a tracking seal on all of us so we could never be taken away. Yukio's must be active too. She gave me the main seal to track them down." I say loudly.
"I know where he is. Please let me take you to them." I say loudly, he had to let me go with the ninja and find my baby brother.
What kind of brother would I be if I didn't rescue him?
"Tracking seal?" he asked and I nodded. "Mama isn't a ninja and she is in pain. She can't track down Yukio but I can. Unlike my sisters and brothers, I already started in the academy. I'm the only one that can track down Yukio."I plead and he closed his eyes.
"Cat, Carry him on your back and let him help find the boy. He might be the only chance we have to finding the culprit before they try to leave the country." He says with a frown.
"Yes, Hokage-sama.Climb on my back boy." She kneels down and I quickly climb on.
"Which way?"Another masked Anbu asked and I closed my eyes.
"That way." I point to the direction I felt my baby brothers seal.
My head hurt from how fast we were going. I was quick to close my eyes and just point out the direction of the seal.
Before I knew it there was a loud explosion.
"Stay here kid." The cat Anbu stated as she sat me down by a few tree roots.
It was almost night time and I could hear them fighting.
I was so busy trying to find my baby brother that I barely noticed when a ninja with a plain white mask jumped in front of me.
I recoiled as I notice Cat kick the masked ninja and send him tumbling away.
I was terrified. I could feel the way they moved their chakra and now they were moving around so fast.
I took a deep breath ignoring the fight between the Cat Anbu and the blank-faced one. I started and crawl through the small bushes following Yukio's seal.
I tried to make my chakra really small so that they didn't see me.
They ignored me as they fought against each other.
I noticed a masked ninja holding a crying Yukio as he dodged the bird masked Anbu.
I crouched down and tried to think of a way to get my brother.
I notice a kunai and some loose ninja wire.
I grabbed them and looked around and noticed a limpy looking tree.
I had to set a trap, that was my only option
It took some creativity but I was able to set a small trap in a branch.
I held the kunai nervously. Compare to the ones in the academy this one was super sharp.
I waited quietly trying to make myself as small as possible.
When the white-masked ninja was close enough to the branch I cut the Ninja wire and the branch swung forward.
The Bird face Anbu was quick to attack and was able to stab him and make him let go of Yukio.
I dropped the Kunai and ran to catch my baby brother.
I threw myself forward and I was able to catch him at the last moment. He was crying loudly and he had a gash on his arm.
I quickly ran away but another masked ninja jumped in front of me and swung his tanto.
I closed my eyes and held my little brother away so he would not get cut again, but I heard the sound of metal and looked back up to see that cat had stopped the masked ninja from killing us.
My heart was beating out of my chest and I quickly ran forward to my hiding spot. I used the kunai to cut my shirt and make a bandage.
I was sweating and crying too. I didn't want to see my baby brother hurt like this!
I tried hard to remember the first aid class Iruka sensei had taught but I hadn't paid much attention.
"I'm Sorry Yukio, If only I had listened to Iruka sensei, I could help you more." I sniffled as I also started to cry.
Yukio was still sobbing loudly as I tied the piece of cloth on his arm and pulled him close.
"Shh shh it's okay, Big brother Naruto's gonna protect you." I whisper as I notice I could also see his seal on his body.
I held on to him and the Kunai as I tried to get him away from the fighting. I could feel mama's seal and I tried to follow it.
"It's okay Yukio. We are gonna make it home. " I mutter as I could hear the distant sound of fighting.
It was getting darker and darker and I could barely see in front of my Yukio was now whimpering in my arms but I diligently followed Mama's seal. She was in konoha and we would be safe with her. She'd know what to do.
"The ocean breeze that we call home, we all return to the same home. Red hair so bright and faces cheer, Warrior come home, warrior come home." I tried to calm Yukio by singing the bits of the songs I remembered from mama.
I was tired, my eyes were heavy, and my feet hurt from walking But mother's signature was a lot closer.
I turned back around when I heard something moving through the trees.
I stayed quiet and settled down with Yukio so I could use one hand to bring out a Kunai.
"Get on, I'll take you back to the Hokage tower." The cat appeared in front of me. I felt her familiar chakra and I felt myself calm down as I climbed onto her back and held onto Yukio tightly.
I finally relaxed as she moved quickly through the forest closer to mama's chakra.
I glance to the sides and notice other animal faced anbu flank her as we went back home and I finally let myself relax.
__
When I woke up I noticed Yukio curled up in my arms. The ripped shirt bandage I had made was now replaced by white bandages.
I slowly got up and noticed my entire body felt stiff. I look around and recognized the hospital room. I closed my eyes and noticed that I could still find everyone's chakra.
"Come on Yukio. We have to go to mama." I whisper as I slowly picked him up. he whimpered but curled up against my chest.
I carried him out of the room and notice nurses walking around and working. I ignored them as I followed mama's chakra.
I slowly opened the door and took a peek inside. Mama was sleeping on the bed. Everyone else was sleeping on the couch and on a futon.
"Mama?" I call out and mama instantly woke up.
"Naruto?" She says as she sat up on the bed.
"You're safe." She smiled as she looked at me and I nodded. "Yeah, and I managed to bring back Yukio." I say holding him up and she let out a choked sob.
"You're both safe." She cried as she motioned me forward. I smiled as I hurried to her.
__
You already know the bitch made, dumb ass who tried to kidnap yukio. I don't even have to tell you.
Did ya'll think Danzo would take no for an answer.
The second the root ninja saw the seal on Yukio they knew they could not take him back to base. They knew they were going to be caught as well
