“Talking”

 

`Thinking'

 

`Kyuubi talking”

 

Flashback

 

~~~~~~~~~

 

“What are you doing here? Satoshi said you wouldn't be back until tomorrow.” Naruto asked, keeping his back toward Sasuke.

 

“I forgot something. I'm on my way out now.” Sasuke replied in a distant tone.

 

`Forgot what? Protection?' Naruto thought sarcastically. The ancient fox within him couldn't help but let out a small snicker. Naruto glared at him and that shut him up quickly. “Shouldn't you be on a mission, today?”

 

“No. Why?” Sasuke answered in an almost rude way. Naruto sighed and he closed his eyes.

 

“Sasuke, we need to talk.”

 

“About what?”

 

“Our family, us and this damn relationship that isn't fucking working anymore. What the hell happened?!” Naruto yelled losing some of the self control he had.

 

“Not, now Naruto. I have to go.” The Uchiha heir sighed, waving off the blonde.

 

“That's right Sasuke, leave. Turn your fucking back on this whole damn thing like you always do.”

 

“What the hell do you want me to do then, huh?!”

 

“Open the fuck up! Talk to me, again!”

 

“For what, Naruto? You wouldn't understand a damn thing I tell you anyway!”

 

“What the hell is that supposed to mean? Sasuke we've been married for 18 fucking years. I'm probably the only one that can understand you!”

 

“Naruto, what the hell is this about?!”

 

“Damnit, I know you've been cheating for the past 2 fucking years! Don't start lying to my face again, Uchiha!” Naruto yelled, slamming the can he was holding down on the counter, causing it to almost explode.

 

Sasuke fell silent as he let Naruto's words sink in. Just then, Raiden, Satoshi, and Amatsuki walked into the house. The twin boys immediately sensed the tension coming from the kitchen, as soon as they opened the front door.

 

“Satoshi and Raiden, take your sister to the park for awhile. Don't ask questions, just go.” Sasuke said calmly. Naruto turned away from his kids, so they couldn't see the anger in his eyes but it was radiating off of him in droves.

 

“Hey Amat, you wanna go to the park and then go bug Uncle Jiriya?” Satoshi asked childishly. He kneeled down to her eye level.

 

“Yea `Toshi. Can chichi-ue and otou-san come with us?” The blonde asked, with a wide smile.

 

“Umm…no hime, they have something to talk about. So they have to stay home. It'll be fun we promise. But, the next time we go chichi-ue and otou-san can come with too. How about that?” Raiden smiled.

 

“Okay! Let's go.” The little ball of energy yelled ecstatically. She literally dragged her older brothers out the door. Naruto turned back to Sasuke, anger, hurt, and rage filled the blonde's eyes.

 

“How long have you known?” Naruto gave a hollow laugh.

 

“Ever since you fucking started. It wasn't that hard to figure out. The signs were obvious. You coming home late with your hair and clothes messed up. You making excuses that you're on missions when you're not. Shit, I've even seen you with my own eyes, Sasuke! If you're going to cheat then have the fucking decency to not do it out in the open, unless you're trying purposely to get caught.” Naruto said, hurt filling his voice.

 

“Then why didn't you say anything?” Sasuke said emotionlessly.

 

“I figured you would have, but I guess I was wrong.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Why? That's the best you can come up with. The only reason is because when something was wrong you always talked or at least hinted something was up.”

 

“Things change, people change Naruto.”

 

“Fuck the Confucius shit Sasuke! Answer me this: When was the last time you spent any time with Amatsuki, hmm?”

 

“I've spent plenty of time with her.”

 

“Asshole, you don't even look at her. Even when you do you look at her you glare like she's not even fucking yours. You barely even talk about her.”

”How the fuck should I know if she's mine or not?! You've cheated on me before and the twins were lucky to even be mine!”

 

“That was a fucking low blow! That affair was a one time fucking thing! Of course Amatsuki is yours, one) you were the only one I was with, two) she has your genius, three) she has your bloodline trait, the Sharingan. What the hell do you mean the boys were lucky to be yours? Right now, I wish they were Neji's!”

 

“…”

 

“You haven't been apart of this family since our daughter turned one. What the hell is was the point in having a family, if you were only going to walk out on them?”

 

“Shut up your incessant rambling, it's annoying. This affair first started out to relieve the stress of work.”

 

“So you found comfort in another's arms instead of being with your family. What then, huh? What the fuck did it turn into after that?”

 

“It turned into…something different.” Sasuke said looking away from Naruto.

 

“Damnit Sasuke, look at me! You've been leaving us for a second you started!”

 

“Yes…no…maybe.”

 

“Then why didn't you just come out and say it? Why don't you tell your children why their father isn't ever around? Or why you're never there for them?”

 

“Because it would crush them. You and the children are my life.”

 

“Ya know Uchiha, that's where you're wrong. We were your life, some time ago. But that ended the first day you turned your back on them and began your affairs.”

 

“What are you trying to say?”

 

“Fuck you, fuck this relationship, it's fucking over.” Naruto yelled. He closed his eyes and walked passed Sasuke. He was trying to push back the tears that threatened to pour out his eyes. The pissed raven grabbed Naruto's arm and pinned him to the wall. Both males locked gazes.

 

“You will not take my children away from me.” Sasuke said in a dangerous tone. Naruto narrowed his eyes. He could hear Kyuubi growl inside his cage.

 

“I'm not. I'm taking my daughter away from you. Trust me Uchiha, I love the twins with all my heart, but they have a good life here. If I were to take them away then that would hurt them. Amatsuki is young enough to start over, not live in a house full of anger or hate. I don't want to ruin any of their lives for my own selfish reasons.” Naruto said with defiance in his eyes.

 

“You are not taking Amatsuki away from here either.” Sasuke growled out.

 

“You don't even care for her. If you care as much as you say then what is her favorite color?”

 

“Pink”

 

“Grey…”

 

“Why did ask that?”

 

“It's the simplest and most obvious question about Amatsuki. That proves my point you don't care enough.”

 

“Naruto, you are not going anywhere with Amatsuki. I swear if you take her…”

 

“What will you do? Track us down and drag us back. We've been there and done that. You remember how well that turned out. Now let me go.” Naruto roared.

 

“Naruto, you take any of them and I will kill you this time.” Sasuke responded coldly letting go of the blonde male. Naruto's eyes widened for a fraction of a second.

 

“Sasuke try to kill me and we'll see who will fall.” Naruto replied in a deadly growl. He walked out the door and made it to one of the other houses in the compound. Naruto doubled over and began sobbing uncontrollably. The blonde was only putting up a strong front to do what he had to do and not show any weakness.

 

He was hurt beyond repair. Naruto believed that Sasuke was the only one that could mend his wounds from the past. He also believed that he could mend Sasuke's wounds also. But he was wrong. And now, Sasuke was not only taking it out on him but on his children too. Naruto sensed Sasuke's chakra signature coming from the house. As quickly as inhumanly possible Naruto covered up his own before the bastard could find him. Before he knew it Sasuke was gone, probably off to his lover's house.

 

With tears streaming down his whiskered cheeks, Naruto hurriedly made the hand signs for the transportation jutsu and poofed to Iruka's house. The Kyuubi-vessel tried to wipe his face as best he could before he knocked but the tears kept coming. Naruto quickly knocked on the door three times.

 

“Coming…” Iruka called from the other side of the door. A few seconds later a cheerful Iruka answered the door. He took one look at Naruto and quickly went into mother mode.

 

“Naruto what happened?” Iruka asked frantically. Naruto began crying full throttle again. The scarred chuunin draped an arm around the blonde's shoulder and led him inside.

Iruka took him to the couch, where he sat down and put Naruto's head on his lap.

 

“Shh, Naruto. Calm down.” The older male said in a soothing voice. He stroked Naruto's golden locks, trying to get him to calm down. After an hour of crying and a bunch of mumbled or broken words, Naruto had gone down to a few sniffles and hiccups.

 

“Now, will you tell me what happened?” Iruka said gently.

 

“Sasuke and I had a fight.” Naruto said hoarsely.

 

“About what Naruto?”

 

“It was about…” Naruto bit the inside of his cheek. He didn't know whether to tell Iruka the truth about Sasuke's cheating or just skip it completely.

 

`Kit, you're gonna have to tell him sooner or later. It might as well be sooner rather than later, don't cha think?' Kyuubi purred in the same gentle tone Iruka had used. Naruto sighed.

 

“Naruto, you can tell me. It's okay.” Iruka stated softly.

 

“I decided to confront Sasuke on his affair he was having and we got into this big argument about how he didn't care for his family anymore. Well, how he didn't give a rat's ass about Amatsuki. He accused me of cheating on him again and Amatsuki not being his.”

 

“What the hell was he thinking?! Having an affair and accusing you of cheating on him. Wait until I get my hands on that little…” Iruka fumed but didn't raise his voice.

 

“Iruka-tou-san…” Naruto said calmly.

 

“Oh, but please continue.” Naruto couldn't help but have a small trace of a smile. He was glad he had someone like Iruka.

 

“Iruka-tou-san, I told him I'm leaving him.” Naruto's voice broke with the whole statement.

 

“Oh, Naruto, I'm sorry.” Iruka said wrapping his arms around the younger man. Naruto couldn't shed another tear but he could fell them wanting to come out.

 

“Iruka-tou-san I have made a choice.” Naruto said into the others arm.

 

“What is it?”

 

“I can't tell you but you'll know soon.”

 

“Naruto…please tell me you aren't going to…” The look in Naruto's eyes answered the unfinished question.

 

“I'm sorry tou-san but it's the only way.” Naruto sniffled. Tears brimmed the brunette's chocolate eyes.

 

“Naruto, please…” Iruka said hugging the blonde tighter.

 

“I can't Iruka-tou-san. It would be impossible for us.” Naruto squeezed Iruka as well. “I love you tou-san.” Naruto whispered.

 

“I love you too, Naruto.” Iruka choked back a sob. Naruto pulled away from Iruka's embrace. He looked into the eyes of his ex-teacher. He knew this hurt Iruka more than anyone but it had to be done.

 

“Don't worry Iruka-tou-san.” Naruto tried to give him a reassuring smile but even that failed. “I have to go though and get Amatsuki and tell Raiden and Satoshi.” Naruto said softly. Iruka nodded a constant river of tears rolled down his face. Naruto gave his father figure another hug and was out the door. But not before he whispered something into Iruka's ear.

 

Naruto now set out to find his family which wasn't hard, since their favorite place to go together was the park. When he found them, he saw Amatsuki playing on the slides and the twins sitting on a nearby bench watching the surrounding area like hawks. Naruto smiled. Amatsuki was the first to see the blonde male.

 

“Chichi-ue!” Amatsuki yelled happily, running and jumping into Naruto's arms. Amatsuki nuzzled his cheek. “Did you and otou-san finish talking?” She asked curiously. Naruto froze for a second, but then his eyes softened again.

 

“Yea, we did.”

 

“Okay, everything's all better right?”

 

“Yes, it is. So, hime what trouble did you and your brothers get into?” Naruto asked gently as Raiden and Satoshi walked over.

 

“Well, first me, Raiden and Satoshi pulled the bestest trick on Uncle Jiriya ever.”

 

“Oh and what was that?”

 

“Well first Raiden did the sexy jutsu and then Satoshi did it too. They were crawling all over uncle Jiriya. Then out of no where uncle `Riya had a massive nosebleed and passed out. I think it was after Raiden whispered something into his ear. Then we put him into auntie `Nade's bed with her in it. She woke up hit him over the head and threw him out the window. It was really funny.” Amatsuki said animating the whole thing with her tiny hands.

 

“Is that so? I'm surprise Tsunade didn't beat Jiriya to a bloody pulp.”

 

“She was close though. Yep, after that `Toshi-onii-san took us to get ice cream.”

 

“No wonder why you're so hyper.”

 

“Of course, chichi-ue! I'm gonna go play on the swings, again.” Amatsuki jumped out of Naruto's arms.

 

“Don't wander off, Amatsuki.” Naruto said to her. The blonde haired girl nodded her head and ran to the swing sets. Naruto could hear her laughing all from where he was at. He looked at Satoshi and Raiden, who were trying to hide their worry but weren't doing a very good job at it.

 

“You two have been a bad yet somehow good influence on her.” Naruto smiled.

 

“We only learned from the best.” Satoshi smiled back, throwing his arm over Naruto's shoulder.

 

“Yea I guess so.”

 

“What's got you so bummed chichi-ue?” Satoshi asked.

 

“There's something I need to talk to you two about.” Naruto uttered solemnly. His face fell.

 

“What about chichi-ue?” Raiden asked, knowing half of the story.

 

“There's no easy way to say this but, I'm leaving your father and Konoha. I'm also taking your sister with me. You two will be staying here.”

 

“But why?! Can't you two make up about it like usual and everything go back to normal?” Satoshi said.

 

“Not this time, Satoshi. It's something that can be easily mended. Besides, it's far too late for reconciliation of any type.”

 

“Why?” Satoshi demanded.

 

“Otou-san, threatened to kill you if you took either one of us anywhere.” Raiden said out of the blue.

 

“WHAT?!”

 

“Raiden, I thought your father told you to leave.” Naruto said raising a slim eyebrow at the other blonde male.

 

“It was a clone. Otou-san threatened to kill you about something, but the clone got there to late to hear what.”

 

“I caught your father cheating and I left him.”

 

“Wait, hold the phone…otou-san has been cheating on you. Then when you tell him you're leaving him he threatened homicide if you took us with you.”

 

“Yes Satoshi. You two can't say a thing to him about it though. We are leaving tonight.”

 

“TONIGHT?!” Raiden and Satoshi yelled together.

 

“Yes, tonight. I need you and Rai to get Amatsuki's things together and hide them. I have to go talk to Tsunade-baa-chan, before I do anything.” Naruto said in a final tone. There was no room for arguing when he said it like that.

 

“What…” Satoshi began. But Naruto gave him that look that got the question stuck in his throat.

 

“Okay chichi-ue. We'll see you later at the house.” Raiden said against his brother's wishes. Satoshi briefly glared at Raiden but that withered away seeing the point he had. The raven walked over to Amatsuki and picked her up. He bought her over to Naruto. Naruto took the bundle of joy into his arms and smiled.

 

“Sweetie, you want to go on a trip with me tonight?” The blonde asked faking happy.

 

“Where are we going?”

 

“That's going to be a surprise for the both of us okay.”

 

“Is Rai, `Toshi, and otou-san going with us too?”

 

“Umm…Amat we can't go with you. Rai and I have to stay here and protect Konoha while out baby sis is gone.”

 

“But what about otou-san `Toshi?”

 

“He won't know you're gone. It's going to be our little secret.” Raiden said. Amatsuki nodded at them all. Naruto hugged her and gave her back to Satoshi.

 

“Make sure she doesn't say a word to anyone about it. Don't let her out of your sight either.” Naruto said.

 

“Yes chichi-ue.” Naruto nodded and took of to Hokage tower. He only had a few hours to prepare to leave. He was going to get Amatsuki away from Sasuke even if he had to become a rouge ninja to do it. The blonde sped up determined to get to Tsunade's office first. He took his usual route through the window. But to Naruto's surprise and dismay, Tsunade was actually awake and signing papers.

 

“Baa-chan, I need to talk to you.” Naruto said entering through the large window behind her.

 

“What about, gaki?”

 

“First off, what was my reaction to you becoming Godaime (sp?)?”

 

“You were furious. You didn't believe I could do it. Not like I wanted to do it in the first place.”

 

“Right, did you say you could defeat me with one or two fingers and which ones?”

 

“One finger and it was the index.”

 

“What move…?”

 

“An imperfect Rasengan. What is this? Twenty questions?” Tsunade asked a little peeved.

 

“Just making sure you weren't Sasuke.” Naruto answered.

 

“What's the matter with you, brat?” Tsunade shot her head up to look at her little brother.

 

“I need your consent to leave Konoha by tonight.” Naruto replied.

 

“Tonight?! Do you realize how much paperwork that has to be done for someone to leave? It would take at least three days. Wait…why do you need to leave and why tonight?”

 

“Baa-chan, please. I can't say but I need to leave Konoha and soon. I will leave here with or without your consent, baa-chan.” Naruto begged. Tsunade sighed.

 

“I need your signature before you go.” Tsunade breathed out. “Where are you going?”

 

“That, I don't know. But anywhere but here will be fine.” Naruto responded. He took a blank sheet of paper from Tsunade's desk and wrote down his signature. Instead of putting Uchiha Naruto, he wrote down Uzumaki Naruto. Tsunade looked at the paper and noted the last name.

 

“What's going on with you and Uchiha?” Tsunade asked skeptically.

 

“Nothing anymore.” Naruto pushed the paper back to Tsunade and left before she could ask anymore pressing questions.

 

The blonde hurried back to the compound and packed lightly. The only things he packed were two pairs of clothes, Tsunade's necklace, and his ninja tools. He went back downstairs cooked dinner for everyone and headed back upstairs to get some sleep for the long journey he had ahead of him.

 

By the time Satoshi, Raiden, and Amatsuki walked in from visiting Itachi, Naruto was already sleeping. The trio smelled that dinner was already cooked and waiting. For once they ate quietly. Amatsuki was not her usual self, the chatter box. She could tell something was wrong and no body wanted to tell her. Satoshi and Raiden knew that this was going to be their last meal together for awhile, but they didn't know what to say without giving up the secret. After a quiet dinner, Satoshi took Amatsuki upstairs and gave her a bath. He got her ready for bed and tried to put her to sleep.

 

“But `Toshi, I'm not tired.” Amatsuki whined/pouted.

 

“I know, but you have to have a lot of energy for your trip. You don't want to keep stopping because you didn't get a lot of sleep.” Satoshi said tucking her in. Her eyes went wider than usual.

 

“I forgot! Goodnight aniki.” She kissed him on the cheek and before you know it she was out like a light.

 

“Goodnight.” Satoshi replied softly smiling at his youngest sibling.

 

“Are you okay, Satoshi?” Naruto whispered.

 

“Yea, I'm fine. I'm just gonna miss you guys a lot.”

 

“Don't worry she'll be back before you know it. She's not going to stay away from Konoha forever.”

 

“But the house is going to be so dreary without her or you. Why can't she stay?”

 

“I don't want Sasuke raising her out of spite for me. If or when he does bring someone else into this house she would be confused as to why they're here, raising her. I don't want that type of lifestyle for the little one.”

 

“I see. Come on, chichi-ue. Let's go downstairs before you have to go.” Satoshi said.

 

“Sure.” Naruto and Satoshi walked out of Amatsuki's room silently. They walked downstairs and sat at the table with Raiden.

 

“You guys know I love you both very much.” Naruto said looking at Raiden and Satoshi.

 

“Yes chichi-ue.” They both said. Both Raiden and Satoshi didn't want to lose Naruto or Amatsuki even though they didn't show it.

 

“I'm so proud of you both. You were never a mistake no matter what anybody says okay. But be sure to never disappoint me or your otou-san.” Naruto choked out.

 

“That's probably already too late because we're helping you run.” Satoshi laughed and scratched the back of his head.

 

“You're probably right.” Naruto smiled. “We'll send you letters, okay. Don't worry, we'll both be fine.”

 

“Chichi-ue please don't go.” Raiden said finally breaking down his emotionless façade.

 

“C'mere, I…we have to go. If I don't then you guys would be susceptible to a house full of arguing. That's something I don't want.” Naruto said holding Raiden and Satoshi to him. Seeing these two, the ones who can hide their feelings the best break down like this, made Naruto regret his decision but not change it.

 

“Please at least come back soon, chichi-ue.” Satoshi sniffled lifting his head from Naruto's shoulder.

 

“Your sister will be back in a few years.”

 

“How come you won't come back?” Raiden asked noticing the little slip up. He still had his neck buried into Naruto's neck.

 

“You two go upstairs to bed. It's almost time for us to go. It wouldn't be wise for ya'll to be up when Sasuke gets back neither.” Naruto replied completely ignoring Raiden's question. Satoshi gave Naruto another hug, never wanting to let go. The raven hurried up to his room before he lost it and followed Naruto.

 

“Love you, chichi-ue.”

 

“Love you to Satoshi.”

 

“Come on, Rai. We have to do what chichi-ue says.”

 

“I'll be up in a sec.” Raiden said. He looked back at Naruto. “I want to go with you.”

 

“That's out of the question. You have to stay here with your brother.”

 

“Why?”

 

“You know why. Satoshi might put up a tough front like everything is okay, but underneath he's a big softy. He'll need your support and advice to help him through this. And you need him as well.” Naruto ran a hand through Raiden's blonde hair.

 

“I don't want you to go though.” Raiden held on to the Kyuubi-vessel tighter.

 

“I told you before, Rai, I'll keep in touch. You never know when I'll be watching.” Naruto continued to comb his fingers through the silky strands.

 

“You promise?”

 

“For sure. Sorry we couldn't have our little spar I promised you.”

 

“There will be other times. You won't be gone forever.” Raiden let go and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

 

“Maybe, take care of your brother and father for me.”

 

“I love you, chichi-ue.”

 

“I love you too Raiden. Get up to your room.” Naruto said, shooing Raiden up the steps. Raiden nodded and ran upstairs to his room. Naruto sighed, he too went upstairs. The blonde went into the master bedroom and picked up the small bag. Naruto twirled his wedding ring around his finger. It was a silver ring with a rare orange and blue diamond in the middle of the Uchiha crest and Uzumaki swirl.

 

`Kit…'

 

`I know Kyuubi, I know.' Naruto slipped the silver band off his finger and placed it on the dresser by the bed. He stalked out the door and quietly into Amatsuki's room. Naruto grabbed the bag packed for Amatsuki and placed it on his back. He gently scooped up the small blonde and slid out her bedroom window. He blended in with the moonless sky of the night. Clad in all black, it made it easier for him to move undetected through the forest.

 

Without hesitation, Naruto raced to the main gates of Konoha not wanting to face Sasuke in the dead of night. Before he left though, he made a clone and heneged (sp?) it into Amatsuki to at least fool him for a while.

 

`I hope that the clone lasts long enough. I don't want Sasuke finding us out so soon. But he probably won't be back soon.' Naruto thought. He looked down at the sleeping girl, cradled in his arms, determined to give her a better life. Naruto picked up the pace, reaching the gate in record time. He nodded to the night guards and casually walked out of the gates. Away from Konoha and away from Sasuke, with no intention of returning himself.

 

Iruka watched silently as Naruto raced to the gates of Konoha. The scarred chuunin hugged himself letting his son's last words replay in his mind tearing at the mere memory.

 

`I'll miss you tou-san and thanks for all that you've done for me. You were the one who rescued me from the darkness.'

DUN DUN DUN!!! Another chappie down and more to go. This chappie actually had me crying. I feel really bad for Naruto and the kids. Okay how many thought that Naruto would actually leave? Show of hands. Okay, now how many people want to kill Sasuke? Next chappie might be a filler to explain the whole thing with Neji and everything, plus the story is moving too fast it seems like. If there's anything that you want to be explain leave it in a review. But until next time peeps. Ja Ne.
