-The Hokage Building-
Hiruzen was sitting on his chair, standing in front was Jiraya, and his genin team. The latter was with his team because they had just finished a mission, a D-ranked mission to be exact. They were about to leave as they got their reward from the task when suddenly...
"I DON'T CARE IF HE IS IN A MEETING WITH KAMI HIMSELF! I'M GOING IN THERE AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" Shouted an angry female voice that was unfortunately familiar to the two men.
As they raised their heads after a moment they were greeted with a sight that would have put the Shinigami to shame: a vengeful looking Anzu with fires of unholy rage burning around her form and licking away at the ceiling. The sight was made all the worse for Jiraya since Anzu locked her eyes firmly onto him. Jiraya could swear that if looks could kill, he'd be nothing more than a smoking crater where he sat.
Behind Anzu were three men who were assigned to guard the door of the Hokage, they peered out into the waiting hall outside the Hokage office and observed her path of hell. The place looked as if a bomb had gone off with cracks, fumes, and embers on the floor, ceiling, and walls. They saw the secretary desperately run and disappear around the corner, trying to get as far away from the walking 'holocaust' as fast as humanly possible while an Anbu guard was groaning in pain on the floor. None of the men could blame him since he now looked like a human-sized pretzel with his arms and legs clearly being broken and bent in a position that were simply not natural.
They would do good to remember to send him a card and some flowers in the hospital.
Anzu finally ended her hunt when she raised her hand and pointed accusingly at the at the white haired Sannin.
"There you are, you bastard! When I get my hands on you I'm going to burn out your balls throughoutly into a crisp!" Roared the furious Sarutobi, causing the two men and three genin to subconsciously take a step back in fear and cover their manhood's at the mental image their minds had conjured up.
As Anzu walked towards Jiraya with the intent to reach on to his neck and begin wringing his neck, Hiruzen frowned at his daughter - Not actually knowing anything what happened - he shushined and appeared between the two: his daughter and student.
"Anzu, what do you think you are doing in my office?" Sarutobi Hiruzen half-roared to his daughter, which made the kunoichi flinch, but her expression remained a promise of painful hell as her gaze remained on Jiraiya. Seeing this, Hiruzen knew that something must have happened that causes his daughter to be like this. "Calm down and tell us what's going on? I don't know what Jiraiya did to you, perverted as he may be, we can still discuss this peacefully. He's been with his new genin team the whole time doing a mission and he would never do anything that would get you this mad at him. I know him better than that." Said the Sandaime Hokage, really hoping he would be able to calm his angry daughter down. Although as he tried, he recalled only one other time ever seeing his daughter this mad: the one time he haven't appeared on her chūnin celebration when she was promoted from the genin rank because of his post.
"Here the whole time?! Here the whole time except for that night at Tanzaku Gai where he got me drunk and we spent the night at that shitty hotel where he knocked me up!" Shouted the surprisingly angrier kunoichi.
"Huh…?" Hiruzen muttered as all sound seized around them. He honestly couldn't quite believe what he just heard and was soon joined by Jiraya's genin team, which moments later glanced snidely at their Jōnin-sensei.
"Are you all deaf or are you too thickheaded to understand?! Well, here it is, plain and simple so that even you dumbasses can understand!"
The other three were still frozen.
"That bastard student of yours got me pregnant! ME! YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTER, HO-KA-GE-SAMA!" She roared at her father, uncaring of her image and attitude.
This of course got an immediate reaction from the famous shinobi.
Hiruzen's eyes grew to the size of saucers on his wrinkled face as his jaw hit the floor.
The genin shinobis present: Teuchi, Minato and some civilian teammate, was doing a perfect imitation of a gaping fish since their brain had shut down, simply not being able to compute what their ears just absorbed. While their sensei...
Jiraiya…he just fainted.
To say that the God of Shinobi was shocked when his daughter told him that she was pregnant was an understatement, however, his war-tempered and experienced mind made him immediately perceived things. It was simple, his student slept with his daughter and was now carrying his child.
"A-Anzu, please calm down! All this stress can't be good for my grandchild." Hiruzen pleaded gently at the end. While glaring at the knocked out student of his, his eyes flashed with murder. 'The gal of this brat...'
Surprisingly, this comment seemed to have gotten through to Anzu. She paused to gather her thoughts and started to calm down a bit after taking a deep breath.
Quickly Hiruzen got over his shock and went over to Jiraiya to roughly awaken the young Sannin.
When Jiraiya's eyes started to open up his mentor helped him up onto his feet before the male white haired shinobi looked towards the cause of all the excitement.
"Y-y-you're p-p-preg-pregnant?" Jiraiya barely uttered above a whisper, the shock still clearly in his system.
"Isn't that what I just said, you teme(idiot)?!" Anzu retorted with gritted teeth, severely wanting to gauge his eyes out with a blunt kunai while simultaneously trying to control herself.
"B-b-b-but y-you can't be- I mean," Jiraiya stuttered, "The incident? I-we-there's no way that you got-"
"Tell that to my fucking uterus, you bastard!" Bellowed Anzu as she took a step around Hiruzen, who was still doing his best to maintain his calmness, towards to Jiraiya as her murderous intent returned full force.
"Anzu-chan, stop it!" Hiruzen voiced out in a low but begging tone. The Sandaime was fearful of what the stress would do to not only the baby but to his daughter as well, he may not be as knowledgeable as a med-nin, however he wasn't hailed as the professor for nothing, after all. Even the little midget genins was trying to get their 'sensei-in-law?' to calm down by going in between the two.
These actions started to calm herself down once more as she tried taking even more deep breaths followed by mentally counting to ten sheep jumping over the fence.
...
Time passed quickly, the news of Anzu Sarutobi bearing the child of a Sannin quickly spread throughout the village and it became the heated talk by the civilians and shinobis alike, along with the news consisting of the Hokage's wife, Biwako, who was also pregnant and was nearing her due date much early than Anzu's.
Anzu also found her temporary life in the village to be quite peaceful and relaxing. However, the big reminder of her being pregnant started to lean its head in as time went on when she began to show signs of her pregnancy.
In the same duration Hiruzen, her friends, family, Jiraiya's genin team and even Orochimaru all visited Anzu whenever they could. They randomly did it one or two at a time or all together.
It was during those visits that they noticed that Anzu had a sort of glow around her, one filled only with the happiness that came along the path of motherhood. However, they became worried when they saw her condition, she was skinnier and seemed malnourished compared to when she was an active kunoichi, Hiruzen and Jiraiya especially, they inquired if she was doing fine, which she smiled warmly every time and responded of her being perfectly fine.
The most noteworthy of all this was that, Jiraiya and Anzu were now living together under one roof, in Jiraya's apartment, which was quite huge to be honest, it wouldn't be inferior when compared to the Hokage's Mansion. It was nightime in Konoha, Anzu was sitting on a safe as she tenderly rubbed her belly. It was at this time that Jiraiya suddenly came out of the guest room, since he gave his original room to her, and since Anzu wasn't quite keen on the prospect of sleeping on the same bed as the Toad Sage, she was more than happy to accept. Just because they had a child together doesn't mean they have to love each other, stop now, that's not how it worked, not to mention that, initially, they have no feelings of love or the sort towards one another, or maybe Jiraiya does.
"What are you doing up so late?" Jiraiya asked.
"I could ask you the same." Anzu retorted.
"True, but I did ask first."
Anzu groaned. "Okay, fine, I couldn't sleep and thought that some time with my unborn child could help. What about you?"
Jiraiya was silent for a moment. Before disclosing the thing that was bothering his thoughts. "Sarutobi-sensei tasked me with a big-ass mission that's going to take years to complete, I wouldn't go before our child is out on your belly though. I... Don't want to miss that." Jiraiya said as he carefully poured some water on a cup, which Anzu received. "I thought that you'd sleep like a log, given how I heard pregnant women would be."
"I spent all the day sleeping, so yeah, guess that I messed my sleeping cycle," Anzu said as she emptied her water cup in one go. Jiraiya refilled it without a single word from the Sarutobi.
"Do you hear that?" Jiraiya asked.
"Hear what?" Anzu said, taken aback. Was somebody trying to break into their home? "I hear nothing."
"Exactly. No noise of the war, no loud clasing of kunais, just peace. I think I'm getting used to this to be honest."
"I didn't realize that. However, you're right, I can get used to this lifestyle, honestly, I can't wait to be a mother." Anzu said warmly while her gaze remained on her stomach.
"I've never realized the fierce infiltration teammate I have would become so gentle, if your enemies heard about how 'The Shadow of Kinder' was in this moment, they wouldn't believe it."
"Stop it." Anzu laughed then suddenly, she began to cough abruptly.
Jiraya got concern and held her on her shoulders. "Are you really okay, Anzu-chan?"
"... I'm fine, no need to worry." Anzu merely chuckled as if it was nothing.
"Really?" Jiraiya asked further, not letting go of his concern.
"Yeah! Really, now stop it." Jiraiya knew better than to anger her, not when she's currently pregnant, Sadly, he earned that the hard way, as when she wasn't happy he and the others around became victims of any mood swings that took over her mind. At any moment she'd be as happy as can be, angry as all hell, and sad to the point of spontaneously crying her eyes out. Fortunately there seemed to be a constant pattern of Biwako and her brother dealing with the sad Anzu while Hiruzen and Jiraiya, unfortunately, were always seemed stuck with the angry one. To the latter two's misfortune her anger usually ended with them acquiring various physical injuries such as black eyes, concussions, and even fractured or outright broken noses and jaws.
Jiraiya got the worst of it when his brain let him go a little too far once again during the Sarutobi's first trimester. When it was obvious that Anzu's already impressive assets began to enlarge due to milk production, the famous pervert just had to make an offhand comment about his supposed to be wife not being able to stand correctly, let alone move. Normally, such a comment could be shaken off with some annoyance, but it was regrettably spoken when anger was Anzu's main and sensitive mood at the time. The result, to Jiraiya's immense misfortune, was a near two month recovery period in intensive care… again.
"By the way Anzu-chan, can I ask you something?"
"Was is that, Jiraiya?"
"Did you ever imagine your life turning out like this?"
Anzu wondered about the question. The answer was a definitive "no". Since she was young, her picture of the future was her being married to someone whom she loved, have a happy life after retirement, with her time fully concentrated on their children. They would have at least two children. Maybe even train a genin team of her own either that or helping to shape the minds of the future generation of shinobis, like her parents.
Yet fate had different plans for her. A simple night on a bar got her pregnant with Jiraiya's child. Being here in Konoha, and raising a kid alongside Jiraiya? No, that never entered her mind.
Yet something that at first appeared some sort of an accidental intercourse turned out to be rather...pleasant. Being pregnant wasn't an easy job, but Anzu considered it as much rewarding. And while living with Jiraiya didn't appeal to her one bit, the Toad Sage was a much nicer housemate than she had expected. In all these months, he had never broke once the rules she had set. It almost felt like the old times with all the missions they had completed together.
"No." Anzu finally answered. "Not that I complain. I already achieved something while being a kunoichi of Konoha. I feel that... Now that I'm pregnant, it was a new experience opened to me, that felt I am doing something with my life again, but not the things which I expected to be. What about you?"
Jiraya thought for a moment before responding. "Like you... I also have dreams before this. However, as of now I'm dreaming of marrying you and have a couple more brats with you. Live here together in my home and take care of the children we have."
" Even if it was an accident chained by responsibilities such as fatherhood was something I greatly enjoyed imagining...being here with you and taking care of our brat is a nice change of pace."
Anzu shifted on her seat, she turned her gaze towards Jiraiya's eyes, which she saw nothing but only sincerity and warmth, this shocked her. She began to fidget as a blush was slowly crawling over her neck. "Heh, I didn't know you had it in you, I thought at first you would dream about your 'research' and spying on women in some hot spring."
"I see. But, Anzu, don't get me wrong, I'm no pervert..." Jiraiya finished with a wide grin on his face. "I'm a super pervert!"
What responded to him was a cup thrown harshly on him, which he didn't expected incoming so it hit his head, hard.
"Ow!" Jiraiya hissed in pain as he clutch his head.
"Behave yourself Jiraiya."
Jiraiya chuckled, but didn't say anything in return. They both continue talking until Anzu finally said.
"You know...I think that maybe we should do this more often. Or at the very least whenever we can't sleep."
"I'll have to buy more snacks for us then. Good night, Anzu-chan."
"Good night, Jiraiya."
...
It was a few months later when the magical moment came and Anzu's water broke before she went into labor. Thankfully everyone was prepared and transported the Sarutobi to a private room in Konoha's hospital, one expertly sealed off by Jiraya to everyone. With a famale med-nin overseeing the delivery, everyone was excited beyond belief in their own way. Jiraiya himself was believing more and more by the second that this would be the happiest day in his life.
If only he knew how significant this day in history would become.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" Screamed Anzu as she was starting to push, fully clad in a hospital gown and a sheen of sweat coating her face.
"Come on, Anzu-chan, you're doing fine." Jiraiya said in soothing excitement as he stood next to the mother of his child.
Anzu gulped in more air to let out another agonizing scream. "Damn you, Jiraiya! This is all your fault, you bastard!" She roared at the Sannin as she crushed his hands that held hers as a sign of support. The white-haired male did his best to not grunt in pain, but he couldn't help himself from falling to his knees from the woman's deadly grip.
"That's it, Anzu-sama, you're nearly there! I'm starting to see the head!" The medic-nic exclaimed.
"Just hurry the hell up and get him out of me!" Anzu shouted back.
"You're doing great, Anzu. Just a little more and it'll be all over soon," Encouraged Jiraya.
"Oh, don't give me that! I wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for you!" Screamed Anzu. With a sporadic mind in the heat of the moment, she suddenly raised her free hand to strike the young Sannin in the face.
Jiraiya took it in like the man he was, which resulted in him getting a nosebleed and groaning a bit in agony.
Jiraiya was pulled out of this when Anzu screamed again. "Get this fucking brat out before he kills me!"
"It's almost done, Anzu-sama! Just one more push!" The medic-nin eagerly encouraged.
"You heard her, you're almost there! You can do it!" Jiraiya added with a growing smile, despite the nosebleed flowing on his chin.
Anzu homed her honey brown glare at him. "Shut up! I'd like to see you try and push out a brat that doesn't want to leave!"
It was but another minute or so when Anzu gave one final shout of exertion and the first cries from a baby silenced the room. The medic-nin wasn't stopped, and with a tender smile on her face she gently grabbed the newborn, cut the umbilical cord, cleaned and wrapped him up in a small blue blanket before handing him to a waiting Anzu.
Just as the medic-nin handed the baby to her the woman she gently said, "Anzu-sama, allow me to introduce you to your son, Ogata-Sarutobi Kajirama."
The tired but happy Anzu gazed down at the still crying baby in her arms with glistening eyes. "Hello, little one." She cooed as she brushed her hands over the baby's bright white hair and round face, smiling with as much love as she could muster.
Soon Kajirama stopped crying as he looked to his mother to show his curious and bright brown eyes. After what seemed like an eternity of childish contemplation, he finally smiled back, making him look all the more adorable to everyone.
"Look, he has Anzu's eyes, but his hair and face looked like me. He's like a mini me." Jiraiya said with a chuckle, somehow getting over his injured state.
"Yes, but it looks like he has Anzu's nose, chin and ears. His skin tone is even a lighter shade like both of you, and his eyes are the same shape as hers." Spoke Hiruzen as he came over to see his grandson in all but blood.
"He's beautiful, Anzu!" Gushed Biwako who was behind Hiruzen as she looked down at the newborn to see her grandson. She then wiggled her finger over Kajirama's face, who was following it around with innocent eyes.
"He is, isn't he?" Anzu whispered weakly more to herself. She couldn't keep the smile from her face as she took in every detail of her baby. In her mind he was the most adorable thing she'd ever seen, and might as well have been the most beautiful and precious entity in the world.
"Don't you agree, Jiraiya?" She asked without looking away, however, if one was more attentive, one would notice her dropping head.
"Definitely, and when he gets older he'll be a killer with the ladies," Jiraiya chuckled with a slight gleaming gaze. "Hundreds will be chasing after him."
"Ha! Like any of those little hussies or tramps are good enough for my sweet little Kaji-chan. I'm not gonna let any of them even attempt to sink their claws into him. Yes... I... Won't ever allow that..." Huffed Anzu in an abnormally feeble way, never breaking eye contact with Kajirama as he smiled back and even gurgled a bit as if laughing.
Jiraiya finally noticed how her head was unnaturally dropping and raising as if it took the last of her strength to do so. He came over to her side, while looking over her pale and skinny frame, his eyes with with worry and concern... Also apprehension. "Anzu? Are you alright?"
"I..." Anzu tried to speak, but couldn't. This made Jiraiya all the more alert as he got goosebumps and his hair was on edge.
"What is it? Tell me! C'mon now..."
Hiruzen, Biwako and the med-nin finally got to notice her abnormality, as they took their eyes off the newly born Kajirama.
"Anzu-sama? Anzu-sama!"
"Anzu!? What's happening to you!"
"Akira, what's happening to Anzu!?"
It was as if she couldn't hear the worried and hysterical voices around, she kept her gaze on her son. "Ka... ji... rama-...chan..." Her hand, which was caressing the newborn's forehead lost all strength, as it dropped on the side of the bed.
Jiraiya noticed Anzu's chakra signature fading, which finally did it as his emotions got out of control, as tears accumulated within his eyes.
"Anzuuu!!!"
