Birth

Kurotsuki wiped the sweat from his brow from his most recent bout of seizures, he would cut out that disease if he wasn't useful… he groaned as he climbed to his feet looking at the full moon setting in the west through the window of his room, the determination that boy had… he growled at the thought but a sickening smile rose to his lips as he felt the mass of chakra flood his chakra pathways, the pain of it rampaging through his body brought his thoughts to an end, "When that smear can no longer prove useful I'll tear him apart, bit by bit…"

The blood red 'scar' covering his palm and fingers raced with abysmal raiton as he fell to the floor once again…

=========================================

Shirohi placed his fist to his palm as he slightly bowed, speaking a few words of prayer under the light of the Full Moon, as he finished he straightened his back as he stared at the stars, a familiar but elusive energy coursing through his veins. The more time he spent under the moon the more he could feel it… reluctantly rising to his feet he turned to find Yumi waddling towards him, "You should be in the manor…"

The warmth his worrying gave her couldn't easily be described, Yumi softly giggled as she waved her hand, "With you here, this is the safest place on the planet… even if it wasn't you'd massacre anyone who dares touch me," her smile was vicious but Shirohi only saw it as beautiful, ever since she held his child there was a sort of 'glow' cascading her and her smile only caused it to radiate, "Could you feed her? She's quite hungry," resting her head on his shoulder Yumi looked up towards Shirohi's soft, nearly imperceptible smile, her heart racing as she watched it slowly grow…

With a soft nod Shirohi placed his hand on her stomach, channeling pulses of chakra into the womb as the two stood in silence, Yumi stared up at the moon and softly muttered, "How happy do you think she is?"

Shirohi softly shook his head, "The goddess couldn't possibly be moved by someone like me, I can simply continue paying my respects and hope she continues looking over me…"

Yumi gave a soft chuckle at his words as she thought, 'If only you truly knew…' she softly trembled as a few unknown wisps of energy filled her womb, with her knees becoming weak Shirohi stopped channeling chakra as he worriedly asked "Are you okay?!"

"Mhmm," Feeling a sense of pleasure from the potent energy flood through her body she could only hum in agreement as she nodded her head, as the feeling faded as gasped, "It's c-coming," Shirohi's eyes went wide as he picked her up just as he was about to Shunshin, Yumi chided "No! It could be disorientating for the baby, just walk slowly if she wishes to come out under the moonlight so be it…"

Shirohi seemed conflicted and his expression gave it away, Yumi softly muttered in his ear, "Leave me here and go get Tsunade," seeing that he was reluctant she slightly raised her voice, "Now!"

Carefully setting her down Shirohi disappeared into the darkness, Yumi looked up towards the moon and uttered a few words of prayer followed by a request, "… Moon Goddess, grant your blessings upon this child, allow her potential to be on par with your beloved champion, I'll be forever grateful and will serve you diligently in the afterlife…"

Yumi shook as she heard a soft yet paradoxically young yet mature voice enter her mind, "No~" as streams of tears ran down her cheeks Shirohi flickered in front of her…

The screams of childbirth followed by a strong aura filled the woods, and following this day many children would hear terrifying bedtime stories about traveling the woods at night…

=========================================

Pale white with a shade of grey skin, small tufts of pure white hair, unbelievably smooth skin… Shirohi couldn't put her down, his thumb glided across the infant's cheek as he looked up towards Yumi only to find her talking with Shizune occasionally looking his way with a smile…

"*gaah*" with an adorable grunt Hanhai grabbed Shirohi's shirt and softly tugged, Shirohi couldn't stop the chuckle that followed if he wanted to, Hanhai's eyes opened reveal a pale whiteish-blue over his shoulder Tsunade spoke, "Spend a few days with your daughter, make sure to continue checking her chakra to make sure there isn't any major fluctuations…" gripping Shirohi's shoulder Tsunade continued "Use this as a reminder why you want to grow stronger, or use this to find the reason you want to grow stronger…"

Finished with her words Tsuande walked through the net of trees, leaving Shirohi staring off into the distance deep in thought only stirring from his thoughts as his daughter; Hanhai let out yet another adorable grunt as she began to suckle on the fabric of his shirt, with a warm smile he stood up as slowly walked to Yumi who carefully took her while pulling up her shirt revealing her pert bust, out of habit Shirohi averted his eyes "I'll be back, I have something to do…"

Nodding Yumi softly spoke "Don't take too long," as Shirohi faded into blades of grass she turned her eyes to Shizune, "If you want his attention you'll have to step up and snatch it for yourself, he may be gifted in all things related to Shinobi but he's severely lacking when it comes to personal relationships…" Yumi eyed Shizune for a moment before continuing with a small shiver, "Although he is blessed in bed…"

Shirohi was beyond happy, his daughter had been born with her chakra unlocked, he could feel the familiar fluctuations of the mutations in her chakra as it slowly circulated through her chakra network, while her chakra pool was incomparable to a genin it was still leagues above other infants. Just from his gentle probes he could feel that her chakra pool was nearly the same depth of an adult civilian, it's density was something that shocked him though. Hanhai's chakra density was nearly at the level of his, and the aura surrounding her was something comforting to him.

She had the same aura that his mother had, the same serene yet powerful feeling that while subtle made itself known… it wasn't strong enough to be felt from more than a meter away, appearing infront of Kushina with a wide smile he spoke "She's born—" he didn't even get to finish as Kushina grabbed him excitement coursing through her veins causing her chakra to manifest "Let's go!"
