Early the next morning Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, TenTen, Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, Hinata, Shino, Lee, Ino, Sakura and Sasuke, were gathered in the dining room of the hotel. They were finishing up their conversation.
"You may wonder around and do what you wish today before the festival. However, don't forget this is still a mission keep your eyes and ears open." Stated Asuma holding a smoke from his finger tips.
"Okay Asuma sensei." Replied the 'rookie 12' except Sasuke whom grunted. They all walked out the door of their hotel. After a few minutes of consideration they all decided to stick together for a while. As they walked they eventually came across child laughter and turned to see they were at a park. Nearly all of them shared a small smile in memory of their own childhood.
"Hey guys, is it just me or does that kid look familiar?" Questioned Choji. Everyone turned to look where Kiba had pointed only to see a small child roughly 4 years old. The child was a girl and rather short. Her hair was long reaching her lower back and was placed in a single long ponytail. Her hair colouring was odd having sun blonde hair with silver streaks making it seem ash or platinum blonde if you weren't looking for details. She was wearing a light blue cheongsam dress with an orange vine pattern and had no sleeves. Creating a sense of déjà vu for the Konoha ninja. She wore black bike shorts under her dress and blue ninja sandals completed the outfit. Despite these traits it was her eyes and face that truly shocked the leaf ninja. Her eyes were a blinding sapphire blue and on her cheeks were three very thin whisker marks.
"She looks like a female Naruto!" Exclaimed Ino and TenTen. Voicing the thoughts of everyone present.
"I highly doubt it. I mean who would have a child with Naruto?" Stated Sakura not believing anyone would like the blonde boy.
"Hn. There is no way, no one would marry the dobe." Said Sasuke with contempt. These comments caused all the rookies and their senseis to shake their heads at the stupidity of the statement. Considering, that Naruto was actually highly sort after by females outside of Konoha and that was before the reveal of his heritage. Before the argument could take place Kiba let out a wolf whistle.
"Man check her out!" Declared Kiba causing the group to look towards where Kiba was indicating. They saw an incredibly beautiful woman around their age, walking extraordinarily graceful towards the park they were standing near. She had straight, long silver hair with black streaks that reached her knees. She was dainty looking, despite being about 5'6 in hight and she also had pale skin. Her face was extremely feminine and gentle looking, her lips were blood read and she had deep azure blue eyes. She had an hourglass figure, perfectly proportioned and a very suitable bust size. She wore a black battle kimono which sat off the shoulders and reached her calf in length. The kimono flared outwards in an upside-down V shape at the knees. The black kimono was outlined in silver and decorated with a purple and silver butterfly pattern. The sash that tied the gown was purple and was outlined silver with the rest of the kimono. On her feet she wore black ninja sandals. This was the woman that currently had Kiba drooling, however the others noticed something Kiba hadn't. An engraved wedding band on her left hand.
"Sorry Kiba looks like she's taken." Said Hinata with a giggle. Before Kiba could respond a shout was herd.
"Otōto (little brother) look out!" Called out a girls voice.
Before the group could react a small child ran straight into Sasuke, knocking them both over. Causing Sasuke to glare and the child to look sheepish. Once everything had settled the group got a good look at the child and it caused them to freeze and hold their breath. Why? Because the child looked exactly like a young Naruto, just with slightly longer hair. It was simply confirmed by them with the expression on the child's face and when he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Otōto (little brother) Are you okay?" Said a boys voice.
The group turned and saw the same girl form earlier, with another slightly taller boy beside her.
The boy was obviously a brother to both the girl next to him and the boy still on the ground. His hair was just as bright as the other boy, the only differences being that it had black streaks, was shorter and was styled in strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal cowlick of hair partially hanging over his forehead. The boy had the same sapphire blue eyes as his brother, as well as the same whisker marks. Whereas the fully blonde boy was wearing a burnt orange shirt, black shorts and ninja sandals. The black and blonde hair boy was wearing a dark green tank top with a black jacket, black shorts and ninja sandals. They were broken out of their thoughts when the boy called back to his siblings.
"I'm okay Nīsan (big brother), Onēsan (big sister)." Confirming he was the youngest of the three.
"Good, that means you can apologise to the man you knocked over." Said a melodic and soft, soothing voice. Everyone looked towards the origin of the voice to see the gorgeous woman from earlier.
"Okaasan (Mother)!" Yelled the children in shock. The group looked wide-eyed, surprised that she has three children all looking the same woman however, had amusement twinkling in her azure blue eyes.
"Musuko (son) you need to apologise and where is your Imōto (little sister)?" The second part was directed to all the children. Meanwhile the Konoha ninja looked like their eyes would fall out.
"I'm here Okaasan!" Yelled another girl voice.
The girl was definitely the woman daughter there was zero ability to doubt it. The girl was a carbon copy of her mother except she had matching whisker marks with her sister. The girl had silver and black hair that went to her mid-back and was put in a braid. Her eyes were a cross between azure and sapphire blue. She was wearing a violet cheongsam dress with white flowers. She wore black tights underneath the dress and had purple ninja sandals to complete the outfit. The girl was out of breath like she had been running laps. Her mother shook her head in amusement. Before looking pointedly at her, son who sighed.
"I am very sorry for running into mister, I should have been watching where I was going." The boy said bowing slightly. Sasuke looked like he wanted to say something but simply nodded his head and excepted the apology. During this a bunch of the rookie 12 and Kurenai were still in shock. The woman had four children all the same age! Kurenai was surprised but most of all sympathetic, she had already given birth to only one and it hurt like hell!
"Excuse me miss, but which is the eldest and what is their names?" Ask Sakura who sadly has been unable to conceive her own child yet. The woman smiled softly in response to her question.
"The black and blonde haired boy is Ryuu, he is the eldest. The silver and blonde haired girl is Atsuko, she's the second eldest. The fully blonde boy is named Hikaru, he is the third eldest child and finally we have Miyu, she is the youngest child." She said with pure happiness and pride lacing her soft voice.
"How old are they?" Asked Ino in excitement. It wasn't the mother who answered.
"We're four and a half!" Yelled a very happy Miyu. Making everyone think they heard wrong. Ryuu noticed and rolled his eyes.
"You didn't hear wrong. We're quadruplets. I'm the eldest by three minutes." He said in a bored tone of voice. Before another comment could be said Atsuko quickly changed the topic.
"Okaasan, Did you come get us to go shopping for the festival tomorrow?" Asked Atsuko curiously.
"As a matter of fact I did. Actually we need to go if want to be on time for the tailor." Explained the mother genteelly. The kids gave a small bow and quickly said their goodbyes as did their mother, before leaving. Everyone stood their blinking.
"Does that mean Naruto is married to that babe?" Asked Kiba in shock and pride.
"No way in hell. The whiskers could just be a result of a bloodline." Said Sakura, trying to convince herself more than anyone.
"Really? What about the blonde hair and a mini Naruto?" Asked TenTen.
"One of his grandparents could have blonde hair for all we know! The so called mini Naruto could just be a genetic mix." Exclaimed Sakura failing to convince herself and everyone by this point.
After that emotional battle the groups wandered around Tsukigakure and eventually went back the hotel to get ready for the festival the next day.
