Mission: Confrontation

"And that's what's going on." She made sure to leave out the part that she found out today. Mebuki sighed in relief she feared that the rumors were true. Sakura leaving the house at early hours, even before she or Kizashi woke up only made matters worse.

"You could have just told me it was a mission Sakura we're close enough to be able to tell each other these things." Sakura looked down in shame honestly she didn't know why she didn't tell her mother the truth. "Well, now that that's behind us you and Shinachiku can move back in."

A silence hung over them, to be honest, she didn't want to leave Naruto all alone in his apartment. "Kaasan I was really hoping to stay at Naruto's it would be a hassle to move everything we got for Shinachiku." She has been of course just using excuses it wouldn't really be a hassle with the help of Naruto's clones

Mebuki was confused that Sakura didn't want to come home, she found it odd. Then the realization hit her, she did walk in on them about to kiss. "Oh, I see," Mebuki said grinning mischievously. She stood up wiping away the nonexistent dirt from her pants. "Your Otosan won't be happy. But as long as you two don't do anything r rated I'm fine with it. Just visit sometimes and bring that cutie with you." Mebuki waved goodbye to the group before descending down the stairs from the Hokage mountain.

An awkward silence hung over the two as what they were about to do before being interrupted ran through their head. "Uh I'm going to go Shinachiku made a mess and I don't want this stuff sticking."

"R-right." He watched her leave, but all he could think about was that she willingly stayed with him at his small apartment. Admittedly it got lonely there over the years which was why he didn't stay there much only to sleep and sometimes eat.

He smiled and looked down at the lively village he hoped to be the leader of one day. Naruto's happy thoughts soon disappeared as he thought about the conversation he, Sakura, and Tsunade had. There was no way that Shinachiku was his and Sakura's child so, then why was he so worried?

The council hated him ever since he was born, but taking away his freedom to be in a relationship crossed the line. Sighing he decided to get up and head back home to check up on Sakura and Shinachiku. The last time he gave Shinachiku a bath, he also had a bath and water all over the place. But with Sakura's temper, he feared for the small child's life.

As he walked through the village with the image of Sakura soaked while Shinachiku laughed at her, he chuckled to himself. He wasn't even watching where he was going too busy lost in his thoughts that he ran right into somebody. He crashed right into the Hyuga heiress who was out and about with Tenten.

"Gomen Hinata." Naruto held out a hand and Hinata shakily took it with a blush adorning her face.

"Geez Naruto lost in your thoughts?" Naruto laughed off Tenten's question.

"Where's Shinachiku and Sakura?" Naruto was about to say at his house but then realized that would only cause more questions and the last thing they needed was more rumors. Thinking quickly, he came up with a good excuse.

"They're at the baby store." Hinata looked up at him she silently wondered why he was lying to them. She could tell by the way his eyes shifted somewhere else other than Tenten.

"Oh well, then I guess we're heading there then." Naruto was panicking, he knew they weren't there, but they didn't or so he thought.

"A-actually Tenten-san I think we should head to the training fields." Tenten lifted an eyebrow the only reason why they asked Naruto where Sakura was because they wanted to see Shinachiku.
