uzumaki-shinachiku

The disgruntled staff made their annoyance heard when Naruto breezed past them and their inquiries. Kakashi requested him, he wasn't barging in. Naruto rolled his eyes and knocked on Kakashi's door. Besides, soon this would be HIS tower and they would work for him. "Come in," Kakashi called from the other side. Naruto entered the room and shut the door. "Find anything, sensei?" Naruto leaned over the desk in anticipation. Kakashi sighed and picked a folder from his messy desk. "Why are you interested in this house again?" "I told you already'ttebayo." "Tell me again." Kakashi's tone shifted from lazy to serious, a rare occurrence for the lazy

Note: Sorry again for the delay. Here is the first half of chapter 6. I’d say There will probably be 8 chapters in total. Stay tuned! Banging woke her from her sleep. She sat up straight, searching the room for the source. The room was bright for this early in the morning. She glanced at the clock… but it was blank. Sakura scrambled from the bed and grabbed the clock. Someone had deliberately unplugged it. Work started hours ago. More banging came from the kitchen. Someone hissed in pain. “Got dangit.” Naruto turned, jerking in surprise when Sakura was right behind him. She grabbed him by his collar, bringing him close

Note: Sorry for the delay. I wasn't sure where to cut this chapter and I'm not completely satisfied with it. Nothing interesting happens. Sorry about that, but not all chapters can be interesting! Bag in hand and child in another, Sakura maneuvered through the crowd. Lunch time approached, but lunch was the last thing on her mind. 'Who cast a genjutsu on him?' Sakura asked a multitude of questions, but Shina answered none of them. Whoever cast the jutsu knew how to lure him into the forest and take him who knows where. He insisted 'papa' came to take him home. She didn't know whether to believe him since he called Naruto his papa on and off.

Naruto got up much earlier than he normally did. Our rather, he couldn’t sleep in at all. Worry clouded all his thoughts. Why did he always end up caring for strangers so much? He sneezed and wiped his nose in annoyance. He’d make a special allowance for Shina. He was just a kid, and not even a bratty one.  He wondered if Sakura would have even let the child stay if Shina caused too much of a fuss. When he reached the Hokage Tower, he nodded respectfully to some of the secretaries and continued on toward Kakashi’s office. He hoped Kakashi would be there so early in the morning.  For once, he lucked out. Kakashi had just e

‘Ok… papa.’ To hear anyone say that to him, let alone a little boy who looked so much like Sakura, was shocking to say the least. He had no words. In the end, he bid Sakura a silent farewell and waited until she firmly shut her door before he turned away. A dad? Him? It was a silly thought. Naruto rubbed his head bashfully, he’d never admit out loud how his heart jumped out of his chest with what seemed like joy. Why would he be so happy over a confused little boy accidently calling him ‘papa’? Naruto paused and turned toward the clear sky. The stars were clearly visible, but the moon seemed to be hiding

Naruto stared into the boys startled eyes. He snuck up on him, but he squatted there for at least a minute or so before he spoke up.The boy looked even worse than he had earlier. Flushed cheeks, wild eyes, swimming in his own sweat… Naruto was grateful he found him before he got any worse. Naruto moved to grab the boy, but again, the boy moved away from him. This time, Naruto noticed how confused and conflicted the boy appeared to be about this strange game of cat and mouse. Naruto backed off again, pondering his next move. He could catch the boy easily, but… he didn’t want to scare him half to death either. Naruto put on a

This is a pilot chapter, meaning I'm not sure if it will continue if no one is interested He regretted heading into the forest by himself. He usually came with his mom and his dad, but his mom was much too tired to go with him and his dad absolutely had to go to work with none of his usual excuses to stay home. He couldn't blame them for not being able to come. His dad constantly took breaks from work, or snuck out to check up on him, or even took him to work with him. But as his mom said, his work would eventually catch up with him and he wouldn't be able to have any breaks. His dad worked non stop for days, just to make sure he could be at

She waited a few days before coming to his office. She had to build up the courage and certainty to follow through. She ventured all the way to the Hokage’s office, each step sent a terrified chill down her spine. She couldn’t back out now. After a few knocks on the door, she entered. He seemed surprised to see her there. She hadn’t come to see him since the day his divorce was finalized. “Naruto.” “Eh?” She scrutinized him. “I need to see the REAL Naruto.” The clone thought about her request before it grinned. “Sure thing, Sakura-chan!” Sakura crossed her arms and waited for t

She stirred her tea slowly, watching the brown liquid ripple inside of the warm cup. She didn’t know how long she stirred it, but watching the tea calmed her nerves. He did it. Naruto divorced Hinata. He was the talk of the town. People noticed when he moved out of his home and into his own. In fact, it was one of the only indications that they divorced other than word of mouth. Naruto never wore a ring.   Neither did she. Sasuke never got her one.   To be honest, Sakura expected Naruto to return to Hinata within a few weeks or months, but now a half a year had gone by and he seemed happier than ever. Naruto smiled more, joked more, lau

It was strange to process his own divorce forms. Hinata signed them weeks ago, but they only just arrived on his desk. He shocked her when he asked about a divorce nearly half a year ago. She never expected it. He sat down with her, waiting for her to question him. He wanted her to ask what he’s been doing for the last few months, what was wrong, why he wanted a divorce, but she asked nothing. Naruto explained himself to her when she failed to ask him anything. A small part of him hoped she would come to understand him and change their routine. ‘Look, it isn’t going to work like this. We have to be partners, but it’s l
