Twentieth Stage: New Additions

"Menma get back here with my kunai," Shikadai called out as he watched his little brother run around waving the weapon. The little four-year-old child with black hair and blue eyes pouted and stuck his tongue out at his Chunin brother. Boruto and Sarada were also behind Shikadai ready for the B-ranked mission they were supposed to be going on shortly with their Sensei. 

They were made Genin at ten years old and now at twelve, they were Chunin. They were climbing the ranks quickly that was for sure. "Alright you little booger, give Shika the kunai," Sarada called playfully, the boy turned to her with a frown, he could never resist his sister so he slumped his shoulders and gave back the kunai to his big brother. 

"Isn't too early you little mayhem," A sleep-riddled voice called from behind them. They turned to see their father yawning a bit. "Why didn't you wake your mom up, you know he likes cooking for you guys before you head out."

"He's been so tired lately with the council we decided to make our own food," Boruto grinned, Naruto smiled and ruffled his hair. 

"Next thing I know you'll be moving out, how time flies."

"We'll never leave, we'll be watching over you forever," Sarada chimed hugging him around his torso. Naruto kissed her forehead with a grin. 

"Now, now Sarada I'm not old yet," Naruto laughed as he stood back up at full height. "Come back with a success do you hear me."

"Yes, father!" They chimed together before heading out to meet with their sensei. Normally family members were not placed on the same team for the sake of having them branch out and work with others but Naruto's children were a special case. Boruto and Shikadai's jutsus were grounded in them tag-teaming, just like the 'Lightning Release: Double Lariat' Ay and Bee had going for them. Sarada on the other case worked beautifully as a genjutsu mistress like her Papa, she had strength on her side as well but she just molded into the dynamics the twins already had.

"Now you little mayhem, what are you doing out of bed." Naruto crouched down to his height as the boy looked down twisting his foot into the wooden floor.

"I wanted to see them off but Kushina wouldn't wake up and Mikoto was cleaning under the bed of monsters," Menma ranted as he stomped his little feet into the ground. Naruto pulled him into his chest and allowed the little boy to huff and puff. Mikoto was Menma's twin sister and Kushina was Shikamaru's daughter. All of them had Naruto's eyes, it was really shaping up to be a blue-eyed clan of Namikaze. It was almost creepy to Shikamaru and Sasuke whenever they all sat down to dinner and these blue-eyed children and husband looked over at them. 

"Alright let's head back to bed, it's 5 in the morning," Naruto picked him up and carried him back to the toddler room all three shared. Sure enough, Mikoto was now crawling out from under the bunk bed. Kushina had a single bed across from the bunk one and Naruto could see her crimson hair peeking out from the tops of the blankets she had buried herself under. The poor child hated feeling cold. 

"Mikoto back in bed, no monsters are here," Naruto said gently as he watched her crawl into the bottom bunk to go back to sleep. "Alright buddy, here you go." Naruto hoisted Menma in the top bunk and kissed his cheek before heading out and closing the door behind him. 

He went back to bed and was greeted with a surprise. 

Over the years Sasuke's hair had taken on a similar appearance to Shikamaru's only his was straight and silky while Shikamaru's stayed up no matter what. But that wasn't the point, he had left with them being asleep now they were very much up and active if the 69 position was anything to go by. To make things all the more enticing, they were fingering each other, as if waiting for him to get back and feed them. "And then Ay wonders why I'm so tired all the time." Naruto stifled a yawn as came over stripping out of his night clothing. They had two hours before Menma woke up again, enough time to get their desires over with.
