Kingdom of Secrets

Chapter 5

Weeks went by until word of the Mizu Clan's demise reached the Uchiha Kingdom. A day later, Kakashi and his men brought the leader of the Mizu Clan and his family into the throne room. All of them were chained. The leader was badly bruised along with his two sons. The knights lowered them to the floor. "Your highness," Kakashi said, bowing.

"I see you have completed your task, Kakashi." Sasuke said. He was sitting on his throne with Karin sitting on hers. Naruto was also in the room sitting in Itachi's chair. Iruka stood beside him. "I believe a reward is in need. What would you like?"

"Your thanks is enough," Kakashi said.

"Alright," Sasuke said. He stood up and grabbed his sword. "Then how about I give you the honor of killing the leader of the Mizu Clan?"

"No please!" the leader's wife cried out. "Please don't kill him."

Sasuke glared at the woman. "You think you have the right to ask me that?" He motioned to the two knights holding the leader and the eldest son. They brought them before Sasuke and Kakashi. "Well, you'd be wrong." Kakashi and Sasuke raised their swords and stabbed them through the chests of the leader of the Mizu Clan and his eldest son.

"No!" the leader's wife yelled. She threw her head back, slamming it into the knight behind her. She grabbed his sword and charged at Sasuke.

"How foolish," Sasuke said as he dodged her swing. He then side stepped her body as her head rolled towards her second son. The boy and his three sisters cried as Sasuke turned his blade on them. He began walking towards them, when Karin spoke up.

"Sasuke, love," Karin said. "Why don't you give that boy to me?" Sasuke turned and stared at her. "I mean, surely they understand their place now." She stood up and walked towards Sasuke, wrapping her arms around him. "I bet they had no idea what their father did, but it looks like they might have a clue now." She let him go and stepped towards the Mizu boy. She cupped his chin. "Yes, I think I like you. Sasuke, please give him to me."

Sasuke lowered his sword. "And his sisters?"

"Please spare them," the Mizu boy begged. "I'll do anything."

"Where are the members of the Yuga Clan hiding?" Naruto asked. All eyes turned to him. "Do you know?"

"I... I don't," the boy said. "But I'm sure my brother knew. It may be in his journal."

Naruto nodded. "Sasuke, I also ask that you spare them. The innocent shouldn't be blamed for the wrongs of the family."

"Alright," Sasuke said. "Karin, do whatever you want to the boy. Just remember that you are my wife and the Queen of the Uchiha Kingdom."

"Oh, I know," Karin said, walking back to her throne.

"As for the three women," Sasuke said. "You will serve Naruto while forever asking for his forgiveness for what your clan has done. And if you do anything that displeases him, your heads will be put on spikes to warn others against doing the same. Do you understand?" They nodded. "Have them cleaned and give them some clothes. I will not have them carry their clan's symbol any longer." Sasuke walked back to his throne. "And clean up this mess." The knights nodded as they pulled the four remaining members of the Mizu Clan from the room.

Naruto spent the next few days puking and Misao, the oldest Mizu daughter sent for Tsunade. Tsunade confirmed what Naruto already knew. He was pregnant with Itachi's child. The council congratulated him, but all Naruto felt was sadness. This child would never know who his father was. Itachi would never hold his child.
