[fanfic] A Beautiful Occurrence Chapter 5
This is the part 2. The whole chapter is too big to post in the same entry.
“Oh, that bastard.”
Sakura looked at Naruto strangely with a little bit of concern. Did he forget? How could he forget when he was the one who was the most motivated to bring Sasuke back?
“Are you okay, Naruto? You are not sick, are you? If you are sick, you can come to me, you know. I can heal you. And don’t call him that.”
“Nahhh. I’m okay. Don’t worry about me. Ne, Sakura-chan, you still like that bas-I mean Sasuke. He is a jerk-you know that, right?”
“Well…” Sakura blushed. Obviously she still had a crush on that avenger boy.
“And here I thought you were with thick-brows.”
All the blood drained from Sakura’s face, and she shivered at the cold accusation.
“Naruto!!!”
Naruto laughed-Sakura’s reaction was priceless-which led to a verbal fight between the two. The banter of the two close friends could be heard within the stall until Sakura had to excuse herself.
That was Naruto’s second goodbye.
9000000000000000000000000000000000000009000000000000000000000000000900
He had already packed what he needed for his journey the night before: food, bottled drinks, blankets, the dress, scrolls, and some other essential items. Now he was on his way to the Hokage Tower to ask the Hokage’s permission for an absence. He was not planning to be a missing nin. That would be troublesome in a long run-Tsunade would send some people chasing after him if he went missing. Hiding and running was not his preferred way of living. Moreover, he needed to say his last goodbye to Tsunade.
As expected, Tsunade’s face was grim when Naruto said he would be living. Of course Naruto didn’t tell Tsunade the true reason why he wanted to leave-he could not tell her now or ever. Or anyone else, for that matter.
The Hokage didn’t make a sound for almost five minutes, and Naruto almost thought she would say no. He was about to give her his ultimatum when he heard her speak.
“Tell me again: Why do you have to leave?”
“The Kyuubi. That thing needs to be in his natural habitat-otherwise it will go berserk. I don’t want that to happen. So I need to go to some forest or something. You have to understand, Hokage-sama.”
That was half-truth, actually. The Kyuubi really like to be in its natural state, but he wouldn’t go berserk from it. Well, Tsunade didn’t need to know that.
He called me “Hokage-sama.” He must be desperate if he’s doing that. How serious is this situation?
“And I don’t want you to send anyone trailing after me, either. The Kyuubi will know, and it won’t like it. You won’t like it either if that demon decided to kill every human in its close proximity,” Naruto continued with a very serious face.
“You have planned all of this, haven’t you? Even if I don’t allow you to go, you will still go, right?”
“I-”
“And don’t you think I will buy that crap about the Kyuubi needing some space. Do you think you can lie to me? I’ve known you long enough to sense it in you. Besides, you are a terrible liar, Naruto.”
“Old hag! I’m no-”
“Fine. If you want some space, I’ll give you space. You must be pretty desperate to come and lie to me like that. Do whatever you must do. I give you my permission.”
They looked at each other for a moment, Tsunade trying to read Naruto’s reason from the emotions flitting through the boy’s eyes. She didn’t come out with anything because then Naruto bowed in a thank-you gesture.
“But with one condition. You have to come back after a year.”
“That’s not fair! I don’t know ho-” Naruto tried to reason with her.
“I don’t care. It must seem unfair to you, but you are the one who’s being unfair here, Naruto. I don’t want to lose another promising ninja.”
I don’t want to lose you.
“But, Tsunade-sama, I-”
“Silence. Fine, I’ll give you one and a half years, and that’s final. If you are gone longer than that, I’ll send people to track you down, understand?”
Naruto opened his mouth to argue again, but at one look at Tsunade’s grief-stricken face, he decided against it. Instead, he nodded his head to show his understanding.
“Promise me you’ll be back. No matter what happens, promise me you’ll be back here to see me again. Promise me, Naruto.” There was a hint of fear in her voice.
Not to disappoint the disturbed Hokage, Naruto slowly nodded his head again.
“I want you to say it.”
“I promise.”
This time, Tsunade smiled. Naruto had promised her; she could be relieved now-that boy would surely come back.
Bowing his head once again-this time as a gesture of respect-he excused himself and left the Hokage’s office before Tsunade suddenly decided to change her mind.
90000000000000000000000000000000090000000000000000000000000000000009000
He had been on this route before, so it took less time for him to reach his destination. It was almost afternoon when he finally arrived in front of the cave opening. The bandits’ old headquarters looked abandoned, just as Naruto had thought. The spider-webs covering the cave’s opening indicated that nobody had gone through it in some time.
The abandoned cave was quite cozy inside; it was big and tall enough that Naruto didn’t have to bend all the time. There was stuff scattered around the cave floor that was left behind by the bandits: pots, blankets, a gasoline lamp, knives, cutlery… The list went on. In short, the cave had all a person needed for a small house.
Satisfied with the cave’s condition, Naruto ventured outside to find a water source, and not surprisingly, he found a clear water source near the cave. You see, the cave was situated at the base of a mountain, which had a river flowing from the top. No wonder the bandits picked this cave as their headquarters. They even built a makeshift shower and cleaning deck at the riverbed.
Naruto couldn’t be happier about his new home right now. He circled the place some more to memorize its outline whilst picking up small, dried sticks for firewood. It was getting darker, and even though it was hot during the day, night could be chilling.
He started a fire at the middle of the cave, throwing sticks on one by one so the fire got bigger. When the fire was big enough to warm up the whole cave, he started to clean up the place. He let out a huge grin when he finished cleaning. Now he had a comfortable, warm home to call his own: He had a space to sleep, a small kitchen, and a roof to cover his head.
This was a sweet beginning for Naruto.
900000000000000000000000000000000000000090000000000000000000000000000009
Naruto’s life quickly fell into a routine. Every morning after he woke up, before anything else, he would go out to train. After the sun got slightly higher and the morning fog vanished, he would go to the river to take a bath and do some washing as well. While he was bathing, he also put up a trap to catch fish; the trap looked like an open basket, which he placed against the river’s current.
Finished with that, he would scout around the forest for food by hunting or searching for wild fruit. This way, he also could keep an eye on wild animals-which, to this day, never appeared near him. He had a suspicion that it might have something to do with the Kyuubi. Wild animals-especially predators-could sense the stronger predator and, by nature, would always keep themselves at a safe distance. For once, Naruto was thankful he had the Kyuubi sealed in him.
In a short time, Naruto had gotten to know the forest quite well. He knew where to hunt his rabbits or wild chickens and where to find the sweetest fruit. He also discovered the most efficient way to catch fish without breaking a sweat. All in all, he lived like a caveman.
However, as his pregnancy progressed, his stomach became larger, and at one point, he found out that it was impossible for him to go hunting anymore. Since he brought some food from Konoha, he could survive on that, but that only lasted for a week.
Naruto knew the day to leave the cave-today-had had to come no matter how much he dreaded it. Today he needed to go to the Field village’s town to get some supplies. Going to the village was not what he dreaded so much. In fact he felt a little happy to be with humans once more after spending almost two months alone.
The thing he dreaded was that he had to be in disguise, and since he had a very big stomach at the moment, the most appropriate disguise was to be a pregnant woman. Actually, Naruto had already predicted this, which was why he bought a dress. Yes, he didn’t buy that dress for Kurenai-sensei but for himself.
Oiroke-no-jutsu could do the trick, but he didn’t want to risk anything. He wanted to keep as low a profile as possible-even the smallest of blunders would ruin his plan. Moreover, he might have a lot of chakra to pull off the jutsu, but he didn’t have lot of energy; he got tired really easily nowadays.
900000000000000000000000000000000000900000000000000000000000000000000009
At the town, the people on the road were staring at him. Naruto pretended that he didn’t notice it-at least the stares were not of hatred. The villagers’ stares were shocked stares. How could they not stare? Naruto was a one ugly, flat-chested, pregnant woman-like a cross-dresser gone wrong. Yet nobody dared to say anything; they just smiled when Naruto caught their eyes.
Pleased that the villagers didn’t have any ill-intentions toward him, he made his way to the nearest grocery store. Quickly picking out what he needed, he paid the grocer and left as quickly as his heavy body would allow-which was not very quick at all. Finding an empty hallway on his way out of the town, he created three clones and commanded them to bring the goods back to the cave.
Creating those three clones almost left him breathless. He leaned on the walls nearby and stayed still for a while to catch his breath when he noticed somebody coming over to him.
“Are you alright? You look exhausted. Come, I can give you a drink. My stall is just nearby.”
Naruto looked up to see a girl stretching out her hand to him, waiting for him to accept her invitation.
“Thanks.”
When they reached the stall, the girl served him a glass of iced tea. It was bliss to Naruto, because it had been so long since he had drink something flavoured-a caveman didn’t have flavoured drinks; they only had spring water.
“I have never seen you before. What’s your name? I’m Kagura.”
My name?
“Maki. My name is Maki.”
“Mika-chan, then. How far long are you?”
“Huh?”
The girl named Kagura chuckled.
“I mean your pregnancy. How many months? I’m already three months along. I bet you couldn’t guess.”
“You are pregnant, too? I’m about three months, too. Yeah, I can’t really tell you are pregnant. You are so small!”
“Yeah, and you are so big! I guess different people have different signs, eh?”
“Yeah, maybe, I guess. I don’t really know. This is a whole new thing for me.”
“Oh my God, you, too? This is my first, too, you know. This is just my luck. I’ve wanted to go to the delivery class for a while now, but the midwife won’t hold that class for just one person. Do you want to go with me? Please, please. I’ll treat to anything you want after that.”
Anything, she says?
“Ramen?”
“Of course. My stall is a ramen stall, after all. Haven’t you noticed?”
90000000000000000000000000000000000000900000000000000000000000000000900
The class went smoothly. The midwife was a nice old lady, and she patiently showed both soon-to-be young mothers how to breathe correctly during the delivery. Naruto felt silly doing something like this, but he was glad he came-at least he knew how to do that “push-push” thingy now. And Kagura was a nice pregnancy buddy, too.
After the class, they went back to the stall (while she was absent, Kagura’s assistant had taken over), and Naruto got to eat as much ramen as he could. Kagura was just too happy to see Naruto eating like that-it showed that somebody liked her cooking. The new friends chatted the day away while Naruto inhaled his ramen.
When he got back to the cave, it was already starting to get dark. But Naruto didn’t care; he was one satisfied pregnant man: He was full from the ramen, and he got some baby clothes from Kagura, too-she received too many from the villagers when they threw her a baby shower. He slept soundly that night, blissfully unaware of changes that were happening to his body.
The next morning, he went to the river as usual to take a bath, put up the fish trap, and wash clothes-he still managed to do all that, even though it was a bit difficult. He was scrubbing his body when he saw it. Unable to control his shock, Naruto screamed his lungs out and promptly fainted-butt-naked!
He was woken up by the sound of something bristling, which sounded very familiar. Naruto recalled that he always heard this sound when he faced the demon fox, and, as he thought, it was the Kyuubi. Usually when he was facing the demon fox, he always felt a little bit frightened, but not this time. Instead of being afraid, he was angry.
“What’s the big idea, stupid fox? What’s the meaning of this? You told me I was pregnant before; now you want me to be a woman? What is the t-thing under my-my belly? Where the hell that h-hole come from, huh?”
“That is where babies come from,” the Kyuubi answered nonchalantly.
“You mean, I have a v-va…v-va…” Naruto couldn’t say the word.
“Vagina. Yes. How else can you give birth? From your mouth? I know you are stupid, but I did not know you were this stupid.” Kyuubi huffed, apparently put-out by Naruto’s stupidity.
Naruto didn’t know what to say. He knew he needed “something” to give birth, and he was thinking of cutting open his stomach to get the baby out. Looked like the Kyuubi already had its own way. The only thing was that the Kyuubi’s way had shattered his manly pride completely-first he got pregnant, now he had a vagina? What kind of man would that make him?
He looked down in defeat. There was nothing he could do now to save his manly pride. He was officially a half-man now.
‘Anything for you, baby,’ he mused while rubbing his swollen stomach.
“Hey, Kyuubi,” Naruto started, finally calm enough to ask the Kyuubi what he always wanted to ask. “How come I’m already this big when I’m only three months pregnant? Are you not telling me something? Don’t tell me this baby is some kind of giant!”
“Stupid brat. Of course it’s big; you will deliver in two months. That’s normal.”
“Two months? But it’s supposed to be nine mo-”
“I told you not to compare me with humans! I’m different; the baby will be different. Get it right this time.”
“Different? How different? Hey, Kyuubi, answer me. Hey, don’t go! Hey!!”
But the Kyuubi already was retreating further into its cage. Holding a conversation with a human was not its favourite pastime, even if the human was his holder.
With a brush of one of the Kyuubi’s tails, Naruto was sent back to consciousness just to find that the sun was already high, and he was naked on the riverbed. However he couldn’t pay attention at his state of nudity, because he was more concerned with the news he had just heard from Kyuubi.
How different? How different?!! Damn that Kyuubi, always explaining things halfway like that!
“Oh, that bastard.”
Sakura looked at Naruto strangely with a little bit of concern. Did he forget? How could he forget when he was the one who was the most motivated to bring Sasuke back?
“Are you okay, Naruto? You are not sick, are you? If you are sick, you can come to me, you know. I can heal you. And don’t call him that.”

“And here I thought you were with thick-brows.”
All the blood drained from Sakura’s face, and she shivered at the cold accusation.

How different? How different?!! Damn that Kyuubi, always explaining things halfway like that!
