Big 40! First time hitting this number on a book :V

The blond was in a state of shock, it had been a day, the calm after the storm... but it wasn't calm, he was angry... furious. That damn snake Sannin had really did make everything around him a living hell... Clad in black, Naruto stared down at the ground, dirt being slowly placed over a coffin... "The third Hokage... will always be with us. He made this village what it is today... As a father... a grandfather... and an idol to all of us." It was a Jounin saying these things, but it was flying over Naruto's head...

He flinched when he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. Turning he felt the empathy radiating from his Fiance... knowing he had to deal with this twice... he supposed there was one thing not knowing your parents did a good thing, he didn't have to deal with their funeral... His grim thoughts were cut through as he saw Jiraiya a little ways away, and he gave a small wave to come over where he was. Following his request, he walked over, Ryouichi staying behind, muttering to him about seeing Haruki and Iren.

"What is it pervy sage..." He said much duller than Jiraiya could give him credit for. "I have a favor to ask." Naruto looked at him expectantly as the toad Sannin scratched his head. "I need your help finding my teammate." The blond instantly glared at the floor, "Done, Ryou probably already has his spies looking for him no-" "I'm talking about Tsunade." His chattering was interrupted by that, spiraling him into confusion. "Tsunade? Why?" Jiraiya could only frown sheepishly. "I'll just get straight to the point, I think she should be fifth Hokage."

Naruto tilted his head. "Why can't you do it?" The man groaned, seemingly hearing this before. "Because I can't, I have my spy network to run, not to mention my research!" Naruto rolled his eyes at that one. "Not to mention she was so much better at these types of things than I was." The blond crossed his arms. "Really? Cause last time I heard of her, she was spotted gambling away the senju's fortune and drinking herself to sleep." Jiraiya sighed, "People have a weird way of coping killing people Naruto." He said seriously before muttering. "And dealing with people that they lost..." He turned, staring back at the funeral that had slowly started to disperse... only a few staying back.

"Fine. I'll help, but you have to talk Ryouichi into it. He apparently has met her before, so if anything will help us, it's him." Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders, he already planned on doing that, knowing that the boy's mom and Tsunade's grandma was distantly relatives. "That shouldn't be hard." Naruto snorted at that before looking back towards the funeral. "Do you have a plan to kill the snake?" Jiraiya sighed and shook his head, "No, fortunatly though, sensei disabled him quite heavily." the blond looked at him questionably. "He took his ability to use his arms." Rolling his eyes. "Yeah well, that won't stop him much, that bastard probably knows enough sealess jutsu that could level Konoha."

"That he does..." 

Naruto's arm twitched again for the third time during their conversation, Jiraiya noticed it the first two times but the third it started to bother him. "What's wrong with your arm kid?" Naruto grimaced, knowing he couldn't hide it... Slowly pulling up his sleeve, a pattern occured up the blonds hand and towards his arm. "I... might have done something stupid." Jiraiya stared at the arm in surprised as he grabbed it. "What the hell did you do??"

...

Ryouichi walked into the vacation home, hearing a fairly loud cry and frantically seeing his ninja and maids running from room to room, their hair completely messy. Iren was one of them as she suddenly saw Ryou and ran to him. "Oh, thank god! Ryou! Please, He wants one of you!"  Hardily missing a beat, he walked into the room where Haruki was, his eyes were full of tears and a pout on his face, that was until he saw his father and his eyes shined, the glossyness from the tears made it look like he was estatic from seeing him. "Hey Haru-chan, are you getting everyone to fuss over you?" He cooed at the little babe who slowly rolled on his stomach and  waved his hand up towards him.

Picking him up, he heard many thumps, turning around he saw all of the ninja and maids in a heap on the ground. "Oh come on, you are supposed to be the Damiyo's best, How hard is it to take care of one infant." Haruki took that moment to giggle as Ryouichi babbled back. "Daddy missed you, you missed me and Homura kicking butt! Then your mamas took down this GIANT raccoon, yeah we did!" The babe didn't seem to understand much but it did look like he lolled his head to the side each time he heard more, smiling through it all, he saw his eyes sparkle.

"You are so adorable." Ryouichi kissed the babes cheek before, giving the baby a twirl, his foot on the ground, his balanced was surprisingly good with the wiggling child in his arms. Pausing his twirl, he noticed a few of his ninja and maids staring at him, "What? I can be cuddly too." turning his head, he slowly sat down on the chair, his eyes still on Haruki. "So, Iren, tell me what was that about someone seeing him?" He asked curiously. It was concerning to say the least, but eventuality, it was going to happen.

"A female genin questioned who his parents were, apparently the whiskers was what made her ask." Ryouichi hummed, shrugging his shoulders. "Well, it's just a genin, how much of a issue can it be." Iren frowned, only for a knock to resound at the front door. Ryouichi frowned before waving Iren to grab Haruki, he walked over to the door and opened it... to see a familiar pink haired genin... "Sakura-san, how may I help you?" "Well, shit... this complicates things." 

...

Somewhere far outside the forests surrounding Konoha, a cursing snake sannin. "Damn that bastard!" Orochimaru stood staring at his arms, completely and utterly paralyzed, the necrosis spreading up his arms. "Do not fret, Lord Orochimaru. This should be fixable." Kabuto who had followed after the sannin who had been throwing what could be seen as a tantrum, though it was a normal reaction for losing the ability to use your arms. The snake sannin gave a grunt and paused. "Unfortunately not, that damn monkey used the repear death seal on them, the only possible way of restoring them is digging into its stomach or..." He paused thinking of his old teammate. "Kabuto, we're leaving."

Looking up at the snake summoner, the pale s rank missing ninja smirked. "We're paying dear Tsunade-chan a visit."

...

"I have a question..." Sakura who had been standing there at the door, trying to rack her brain around to figure out how to ask. "What is it?" Ryouichi was dreading it, but it was inevitble. "Sandaime-sama told me once... that Naruto's whisker were a byproduct of his mom being close to the Kyuubi." She stared off before looking forward, her eyes showing determination, and she was sure that she was right. "Naruto is the Kyuubi Jinchuriki... and he has a son with you. Am I right?" She had picked up all the signs, the resemblance of the little baby to the two that seemed so inseparable, the sudden leave from Konoha, the powerful and dense chakra that Naruto used... The cry that team 7 had heard when visiting Naruto off...

The Sandaime's wording of the Kyuubi's presense and the hateful looks Naruto got whenever he was out and about... she used to see it... and the only way for Naruto to have a kid with the other teen... was that he would be a Jinchuriki and to say Ryouichi was impressed was an understatement. "Someone, give this girl a medal. You are right, Haruki is our child." Ryouichi eyes suddenly sharpened, as was the intent to silence the pink haired genin. "If this gets out..." "N-No, you got it wrong!" She waved her hands as she slowly pushed them down. "He's my friend... I told you before, that hasn't changed."

Ryouichi's eyes faltered, seeing that she genuinely seemed apologetic. Giving a sigh he opened the door wide as he looked at her expectadely. "Come in, I have a lot of explaining to do... and I doubt Naruto would like to do that when he comes home." Sakura stared at the open door before slowly walking in, not expecting the story that followed...
