Naruto groaned lightly as he started to awaken. He was faintly aware that his head was resting on someone's lap. He could also feel the warm tingling of healing chakra on his head.
When Naruto finally opened his eyes he spotted Sakura hovering over him. She had an annoyed look on her face as her glowing green hands hovered over his head. With another groan Naruto sat up, which surprised Sakura.
"Ugh what the hell happened?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his still aching head.
"Well after I told you I was pregnant, you passed out and hit your head on the table you baka! I had to make sure you didn't get a concussion, and suffer any brain damage, well anymore brain damage." Sakura yelled, but she let out a sigh and calmed down. "What happened Naruto? You said you wouldn't freak out! Are you not ready to have kids!?"
Naruto could see that Sakura was starting to panic, so he leaned over and gently kissed her effectively silencing her. When they separated Naruto grabbed Sakura's hands and looked her right in the eyes.
"Sakura-chan you don't know happy I am to know that we are gonna be parents. You just caught me off guard with the news, and I was just shocked. There's nothing I want more in this world than to start a family with you and the other girls. I'd give up on being Hokage to have a family with you all." Naruto said in the most sincere voice Sakura had ever heard, and it brought her to tears.
She immediately wrapped her arms around him pulled him close, as she cried into his shoulder.
"Thank Kami I thought you weren't happy!" Sakura said into his shoulder.
"Sakura-chan being a dad has always been one of my greatest dreams. Since I grew up without my parents, I've always wanted to have kids so I could treat them the way I always wanted to be treated as a kid." Naruto said as Sakura released him from the hug and looked back into his eyes.
"But what if we aren't ready? What if we're bad parents?" Sakura said as she broke his gaze and looked to the floor.
"Sakura-chan don't you ever think that. We'll be the best parents ever, and we're more than ready, believe it!" Naruto said with his foxy grin.
Those few words immediately lifted Sakura's spirits and a small smile spread across her face.
"Do you really believe that we're ready?"
"Sakura-chan I know we're ready. You're one of the strongest people I know, you've done things that I couldn't dream of doing, so I think we can handle kids."
Sakura's smile widened when he said this.
"Dammit he's right we are ready for kids. I know we can do this."
"Oh are baby is gonna be so KAWAII!" Inner Sakura squealed like a little school girl.
"I have one question though." Naruto said shaking Sakura out of her thoughts.
"Uh sure Naruto ask away."
"You're the medical expert, so how did this happen so fast?" Naruto asked, which made Sakura look at him as if he was the dumbest person on earth, well he was sometimes.
"You do know that if you have unprotected sex, that it significantly increases the chance of pregnancy right."
"Kit let me talk to the girl, I can explain what happened." Kurama said surprising Naruto.
"Oh hey Kurama, haven't heard from you in a while. Why would you want to talk to Sakura-chan, she already explained it to me."
"Because kit that's not the reason she got pregnant, so just let me take over for a minute so I can explain this to to her."
Naruto looked at Kurama skeptically for a second before he shrugged his shoulders and let Kurama take over.
Sakura was about to say something, because Naruto started to space out one her. But she knew he was talking to Kurama so she patiently waited for him to finish. After a few moments Naruto opened his eyes, but Sakura was surprised to see red slited eyes instead of Naruto's normal blue ones.
"Hello child." The Kurama possessed Naruto said in a deep voice with a small smile.
"Y-You're Kurama, what have you done with Naruto." Sakura said as she started to back away slowly.
"Calm down gaki, Naruto let me take over for a bit so I could explain some things to you."
"O-Ok so what did you want tell me?" Sakura said as she started to relax slightly.
"I want to explain to you exactly why you got pregnant. It has to do with the mate mark on your arm."
Sakura lifted her sleeve and looked at the rings on her arm.
"When the gaki bit you and gave you that mark it infused his sperm with my some of my chakra. This increased its potency tenfold, which almost guarantees pregnancy."
"So your telling me that if Naruto bites any of the other girls, they will be pregnant too."
"Precisely, you're pretty smart for human. I can see why Naruto chased after you for so long. That's why I had Naruto bite you first. He loves all of you girls equally, but you were his first love. So you have a special place in his heart, and my thanks."
"What are you thanking me for."
"You were one of the first people to truly acknowledge Naruto, even though it might not have been in the best way. You don't realize how important you yelling at Naruto actually was when you were younger. When you yelled at him it made him feel like he belonged. You treated him like a normal person not some 'demon child' that needed to be ignored."
Hearing this made Sakura go wide eyed. She didn't realize it was so bad for Naruto, that someone yelling at him made him feel accepted.
"That Hyuuga girl may have loved the gaki longer than you, but when Naruto truly needed someone she wasn't there for him. She always watched and supported for him from afar. Although she has changed that lately, so she has earned my respect."
Hearing about Hinata made Sakura upset with herself. Kami if only she had realized Naruto needed her back then, things could have turned out so different. Kurama saw the self hatred in her eyes and decided to speak up.
"Don't beat yourself up child. You didn't realize how much Naruto needed love back then, but you're here for him now and that's what matters. You don't realize how much you truly mean to Naruto. You were his pillar of strength, that kept him going no matter what."
Sakura formed a small smile, as a blush spread across her face.
"That's why I made you matriarch of Naruto's new family."
"What did you say?" Sakura asked her interest piqued.
A smile spread across the possessed Naruto's face.
"That mark you have on your arm is a special one. It has three bands for a reason. That specific mate mark makes you the matriarch or 'leader' of the rest of Naruto's girls. It's more of a symbolic thing, you won't have any real control of the other girls. The other girls will only have one or two rings. The other girls closest to Naruto's will have two rings, like the Hyuuga girl for example. However other girls the gaki is with will only have one ring."
"Kurama I can't thank you enough for giving me this special gift." Sakura said as she hugged Kurama.
This surprised the Kyuubi. He had never had anything like this happen before, so he just sat there wide eyed. When Sakura release Kurama he was blushing lightly. Letting out an embarrassed cough Kurama continued.
"Just treat Naruto right child, because if he puts his trust and love in you, I'll do the same."
With that Naruto closed his eyes, and when they opened again they returned to their normal deep blue.
"So what did Kurama want to tell you?"
But suddenly Naruto felt Sakura pull him into a tight hug.
"Sakura-chan?"
"Just be quiet Naruto." Sakura said as she held him closer.
A smile was on both their faces as they held each other. After a few minutes of just holding each other Sakura spoke up.
"So should we tell the other girls the news?" Sakura asked getting excited at the idea of telling her friends.
"We will, but we need to tell someone else first."
"Who?" Sakura asked, but when Naruto answered her face went completely white.
"Your parents."
