"Nagato -(cough)- you -(cough)- have to leave -(cough)-(cough)- me. You cannot keep -(cough)-(cough)- carrying me like this -(cough)-(cough)- or else you won't -(cough)-(cough)-(cough)- survive." A voice weakly said between laboured breaths and bouts of coughs.

"I cannot Naruto-nii." A determined voice said back to the first. "I promised kaachan I would always protect you."

"And -(cough)-(cough)- so -(cough)-(cough)- did I. Remember Nagato-ototo no matter what I will always be your big brother and I will always love -(cough)-(cough)- you."

"NIISAN NO!"

SPLASH

"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun!"

"Hmh."

"I have been calling you for the last five minutes and you haven't been answering me dattebane!"

"I'm sorry Kushina-chan I must not have heard you."

"It's fine Naruto-koi." Kushina said with a sigh as she shot the figure seated next to her, a tall ruggedly handsome violet eyed man with unruly spiky red hair that shot out in every possible direction, a worried look. "You were thinking about him again weren't you?"

"Hai." Naruto confirmed in a faint voice as a pained expression crossed his face. "How did you know?"

"You blanked out after I suggested naming our son after him so it wasn't hard to tell you were thinking about him." Kushina revealed as she took one of her husband's large calloused hands into her delicate own. "We don't have to name our son after him if it's too painful Naruto-koi." Kushina softly told her husband knowing now that the name she had initially thought was a good one for one of their soon to be born twins was in fact not, judging from the pain she had seen flash in her husband's eyes when she suggested it. "We can name him Ashina after my grandfather instead. He was the first Uzukage dattebane!" Kushina suggested earning an slight amused chuckle from Naruto that caused her to blush.

"I would like that Kushina-chan." Naruto told his wife with a smile as he stood up from the sofa they were seated on before holding out his hand for her to take. "Come on let's go to Ichiraku's and get you that ramen I know you're craving right now."

"How did you know?" Kushina asked as she took her husband's hand who steadied her very pregnant form to prevent her from falling.

"I didn't." Naruto confessed. "But Kushina Uzumaki has never been one to say no to rame-OWW! Kushina-chan why did you hit me?"

"Because you called me a pig dattebane!"

"I didn't call you a pig I just said you never say no to ramen."

"That's calling me a pig!"

"How is that calling you a pig?"

"You are saying that I can't say no to food Naruto-kun that's calling me greedy!"

"I'm not saying you cannot say no to food. I'm saying you can't say no to ramen. Like right now you can't say no to my offer to go to Ichiraku's."

"I can."

"Then say it."

"I don't...urghhh let's just go to ojisan's!"

"Hehehehehe I told you. You couldn't say it Kushi-cha-OWWW!"

"Shut up and let's just go dattebane!"

Konoha Streets

"Niisan!" A loud voice yelled to the right of Naruto and Kushina interrupting their advance towards Ichiraku's as the two of them turned to face two teens running their way.

"Ototo. Rin." Naruto greeted the two teens who stopped in front him and Kushina with a slight smile. "What are you doing here I thought you were helping kaachan at the children's hospital?" Naruto questioned the two teens who he knew had volunteered to help his mother at the new children's hospital she had built for the children mentally scarred by the Third Great Shinobi War. Rin doing it because she was his mother's apprentice and Obito doing it because he simply wanted to help the children and spend sometime with his girlfriend Rin.

"We were Naruto-sama." Rin said respectfully to the man who was not only the hero of the Third Great Shinobi War beside her sensei but also the man who saved her and her team. "But Tsunade-sama asked us to find you she wants to see you."

"Kaachan wants to see me?" Naruto questioned surprised as he wondered what his kaachan wanted to see him about that she would send out one of her understudies to personally find him.

"Hai niisan she does." Obito confirmed earning a sigh from Naruto who turned his gaze from the teens and onto Kushina.

"I am sorry Kushina-chan." Naruto apologised as he shoot his wife an apologetic look. "But that ramen will have to wait." Naruto added knowing that he couldn't keep his kaachan waiting or else he would regret it later.

"It's fine Naruto-koi." Kushina reassured her husband. "I haven't seen sensei in a long time."

"I don't think tousan is with kaachan Kushina-chan." Naruto told his wife doubting his father was already back in the village since he only left two weeks ago.

"Actually he is niisan." Obito told his surrogate big brother.

Konoha Children's Hospital

"Ero-tousan you're back?!" A surprised Naruto said as he and Kushina entered his mother's second office her first being at the village's main hospital.

"I told you not to call me that brat!" An angry Jiraiya reminded with a tick mark on his forehead as he turned to face his son.

"He'll only stopping calling you that once you stop being a pervert Jiraiya-kun." Tsunade told her husband with a glare before she also turned to face her son. "Isn't that right Naruto-chan?"

"Hai it is nominuke-kaachan(drunkard mother)." Naruto replied with a smirk earning an angry look from Tsunade.

"I told you not to call me that brat!" Tsunade snapped in the same angry tone as Jiraiya's causing both him and Naruto to chuckle.

"He will only stop calling you that once you stop being a drunkard Hime." Jiraiya said with a smirk enjoying how his wife's words had come back to bite her.

"Naruto-nii!" A voice said excitedly behind Naruto and Kushina turning everyone's attention to the office door where a black haired teenage girl stood smiling.

"Shizune-imoto." Naruto greeted his little sister who ran up to him and hugged him. Earning a smile from both their parents who smiled at the heartwarming scene playing out before them.

Though Shizune was actually Tsunade's dead friend Dan's niece and Naruto was an Amegakure war orphan that Jiraiya and Tsunade found wounded by the bank of a river after their fight with Hanzo. Both Sannin considered them they children and the two vice-versa considered them they parents. Which they legally were Jiraiya and Tsunade having adopted Naruto after learning that a gas Hanzo used on Tsunade had left her barren. Then later Shizune after Dan, the two sannins' friend, died.

"What are you doing here niisan?" Shizune questioned her brother as the two of them broke apart, wondering what he was doing here since it was odd from to come visit them at the hospital especially the children's one.

"Kaachan called me here." Naruto told Shizune as he turned his gaze back to his mother. Shooting her a questioning look as he waited for her to tell him why she had summoned him.

"Shizune-chan can you wait outside." Tsunade requested, knowing that what she wanted to say wasn't for her daughter's ears.

"Hai kaachan I will go help Rin-chan and Obito." Shizune said shooting her brother a quick smile before she left the room giving her mother the privacy she indirectly requested.

"What did your spy network find out tousan that you couldn't tell me in front of Shizune-chan?" Naruto asked his father after his sister left.

"The Third Raikage's corpse was stolen." Jiraiya revealed earning a shocked gasp from both Naruto and Kushina.

"The Third Raikage's corpse was stolen?" A shocked Kushina questioned her sensei/father-in-law as she spoke for the first time since entering Tsunade's office.

"Hai."

"By who?"

"We don't know Kushina-chan." Tsunade told her daughter-in-law.

"Does Minato know about this?"

"No he doesn't Naruto. Tsunade-chan and I thought we should tell you first." Jiraiya told his son as he shared a glance with Tsunade.

"Tell me first why?"

"Because Naruto the guards who were guarding the Raikages' tomb were killed by paper shuriken." Jiraiya revealed to his son telling him what his spy in Kumo told him.

"Paper shuriken." Naruto repeated confused before his eyes widened as realisation dawned on him. "Konan." Naruto whispered, understanding now why Jiraiya thought to tell him first. Because the culprit used paper ninjutsu similar to his and his brother's childhood friend Konan.

"You think it's her?" Kushina questioned knowing exactly who Konan was her husband having told her along with Jiraiya and Tsunade about her. (A/N: Jiraiya never met Ame orphans)

"It could be her Kushina that's why we thought to bring the information to Naruto first." Jiraiya told his student.

"Did your spies get the culprit's description or their possible location?"

"No Naruto they just got information that the Third Raikage's body was stolen and that the culprit used paper shuriken to kill the guards." Jiraiya regrettably revealed wishing he had more information for Naruto. Who nodded at Jiraiya before he gained a thoughtful expression as he thought of all that he had just heard.

'Konan you're alive. What have you been up to all these years?"

"N-Na-Nagato-kun." Konan whimpered as she called out the name of the man she lay sweaty under. Riding out the high of her release as she rocked her hips to help the man whose back she was digging her nails into reach his own. Which he did with a grunt, releasing himself inside of her before breathlessly collapsing atop of her equally sweaty and spent form. The two of them remaining the way they where as they simply lay there listening to each others heavy breathing.

"Do you think he will join us tomorrow?" The man asked, breaking the silence between the panting pair as he raised his head to look down at Konan with his lone visible rippled metallic violet eye.

"No I don't Nagato-kun." Konan heavy-heartedly told the man she loved not wanting to lie to him. "Not after we retrieve the Kyuubi."

"Are you saying that we shouldn't retrieve the Kyuubi?" Nagato questioned. His expression hardening as he glared down at Konan. "Are you saying that after all the pain and hatred we have seen in this world we should give up our dream of true peace?!"

"No," Konan told Nagato gently as she affectionately placed her hand against the side of his face to calm him, which he did. The rising anger Nagato felt receding as his hardened expression softened. "I'm saying that we should reveal ourselves to him and try convince him to join us later. After his anger over what we do to the village he has grown to love tomorrow diminishes." Konan explained wanting to show Nagato that her earlier words weren't her telling him he had to chose between the Kyuubi or his brother.

"You are right Konan." Nagato said with a sigh knowing that the woman under him was right like she usually was. "Tomorrow I will send my Preta and Asura Paths to retrieve the Kyuubi instead of personally going like I planned." Nagato stated knowing his Preta Path had the means to extract and control a bijuu and his newly acquired Asura Path had the strength to handle any resistance they may encounter.

"And what do you need of me?" Konan asked Nagato ready to do anything for him like she always was. Before blushing as she saw the pure look of unhaboured lust Nagato shot her that told her what he needed of her.

"You know what I need from you Konan."

"Hai Kami-sama I do." Konan said obediently using the name she knew turned on her lover. Who immediately hardened again inside of her as she had intended. Konan gasping as she felt Nagato pull out most of his thickness out of her, leaving in only the tip before letting out a pleasure scream as she felt him slam himself back down into her. That was quickly silenced by Nagato who brought his lips down to hers, silencing her pleasured scream and the rest that followed as he repeatedly took what he needed from her.

Konoha

"Still up for that ramen Kushi-chan?" Naruto asked Kushina as the two of them left the Children's Hospital. Already knowing the answer but deciding to just ask anyway.

"Of course I am dattebane!" Kushina immediately told her husband answering exactly as he had predicted she would. They had been in Tsunade's office discussing things ranging from the Third Raikage's missing corpse to Shizune's progress as Tsunade's apprentice for the past three hours. And now unlike when they initial left their home for Ichiraku's when she was just hungry, Kushina was now starving and really carving a big bowl of salt ramen or ten. And no one absolutely no one was going to stop her from getting them not even the Shinobi no Kami(God of Shinobi) himself.

"Kushina-chan. Naruto-kun." A grandfatherly voice greeted the couple causing Kushina's left eyebrow to twitch irritably as she and Naruto turned to face the very person she said wouldn't stop her; Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama." Naruto greeted Hiruzen with a smile earning one back from the Sarutobi who smiled at Naruto oblivious to the disdain the man's pregnant wife felt at seeing him.

"Naruto-kun. Minato-kun and I were just looking for you to discuss the daimyo's new budget for the vill-"

"Naruto-koi is not going anyway." A sickly sweet voice said interrupting Hiruzen who turned to face it's owner; Kushina. Or rather an angry Kushina whose once violet eyes had now taken on a glowing all white chilling appearance. Her ankle length red hair swaying behind her dangerously like the nine tails of the Kyuubi no Kitsune as she gave off a murderous aura that caused the Shinobi no Kami to gulp fearfully and Naruto, who she wasn't directing her anger at, to take a cautious step back away from her.

"Kushi-" Hiruzen tried to reason not knowing what he had done to incur the wrath of the Akai Chishio no Habanero (Red Hot-Blooded Habanero).

"Naruto-koi is not going anywhere Hiruzen-sama or else I will tell Biwako-sama about your hidden stash of Icha Icha Paradise am I clear?" Kushina asked in the same sickly sweet tone causing beads of fearfully sweat to form on Hiruzen's forehead.

"Hai you are Kushina-chan the Daimyo's new budget for the village scroll can wait."

"Good." Kushina said her mood doing a one-eighty as she smiled warmly at the man who she was moments ago giving a murderous look. "Hiruzen-sama. Naruto-kun and I are off to get some ramen. You can joining us if you want." Kushina invited smiling warming at the man she saw as a surrogate grandfather.

"No I have a meeting with Minato-kun." Hiruzen informed. "That doesn't require Naruto-kun." Hiruzen quickly added to be on the safe side and avoid incurring Kushina's wrath over her husband being needed in the meeting he was about to attend. Which he was but Hiruzen wouldn't tell her that not after her frightening display moments ago. "But thank you for the offer Kushina-chan." Hiruzen said before he promptly excused himself and left the couple.

"Come Naruto-koi let's go to ojisan's I'm starving dattebane!" Kushina hungrily announced as she moved in the direction of Ichiraku's. Naruto promptly following her as he dared not to do anything else out of fear of Kushina doing to him what she just did to the Third who got in the way of her ramen.

'Kami help whoever else who does.'

Outside Ichiraku's

"Finally ramen!" Kushina excitedly said as she took a whiff of the mouthwatered aroma surrounding Ichiraku's. "Ojisa-" Kushina began to excitedly greet as she moved to enter Ichiraku's but stopped as she heard some yell her name causing her left eyebrow to irritably twitch again as she turned in the direction of the voice.

"Kushina-chan Naruto!" Tsume Inuzuka called out as she, Mebuki Namikaze, Hitomi Hyuuga and Mikoto Uchiha all made their way to the couple. The four woman each holding their newborns Kiba, Menma, Hinata and Satsuki respectively.

"Tsum-" Naruto began to greet the four woman he knew since coming to Konoha when he was six but was interrupted by Kushina who stormed over to her four friends and bonked each of them on their heads.

"OWW Kushina-chan what wa-"

"We are not talking to any of you right now dattebane!" Kushina informed the four cutting off Hitomi before she turned back towards Ichiraku's. Storming into the stand to get the ramen she was determined to get.

"NARUTO!" Kushina called to Naruto who still stood outside the stand.

"I'm coming!" Naruto called back to Kushina before turning back to the four women who were shooting him curious looks wanting to know what that was all about. "She's craving ramen." Naruto simply explained earning understanding nods from the four woman who knew to never get between Kushina and her ramen least of all a pregnant one. "Well I will see you later." Naruto added waving goodbye to the four who waved back before he quickly made his way into Ichiraku's.

"Sheesh Kushina-chan can really be something sometimes." Tsume stated after watching Naruto go in.

"She can." Mikoto agreed. "I really feel sorry for Naruto." Mikoto said pitying her friend who had saved her little brother Obito's team.

"Why?" Hitomi asked wondering why Mikoto felt sorry for Naruto.

"Kushina-chan's delivery is tomorrow." Mikoto elaborated causing the three other women's faces to cringe, all of them now sharing the same feeling as Mikoto.

"He'll survive he's not called the Gunshin(God of War) for nothing." Tsume confidently stated knowing Naruto was undeniable strong and there was nothing Kushina could do that he wouldn't survive tomorrow not even in her labour induced angry state.

That Following Night

Secret Location

'Kami help me I'm not going to survive this.' Naruto thought as he sent more chakra to his hand to stop it from being crushed by Kushina's vice grip. Who was yelling angrily at him as she pushed as hard as she could.

"AHHHHH I HATE YOU NARUTO YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU BASTARD!" Kushina angrily yelled at her husband glaring murderously at him.

"Come on Kushina-chan you doing great just keep pushing you are almost there." Naruto encouraged his wife ignoring the murderous look Kushina shot him that his mother had prepared him for by forcing him to assist her with multiple child births.

"SHUT UP NARUTOOOO!"

"Tousan how is the seal?" Naruto asked turning away from Kushina to look at his father whom he had asked to maintain Kushina's seal during her delivery.

"It's weakened but it's fine Naruto." Jiraiya reassured his son. "Focus on Kushina."

"Jiraiya-kun's right Naruto-chan." Tsunade told her son from her spot next to Biwako at the foot of the bed Kushina lay on. "Focus on Kushina-chan we need her to give us one more big push." Tsunade informed her son as she craddled the top of the head of the first baby that needed one more big push from Kushina so it could come out.

"You heard her Kushina-chan just one more bi-"

"SHUT UP NARUTO I AM NOT DEAF I HEARD HERRRRRRRR!" Kushina screamed as she tighten her hold around Naruto's hand. Giving Tsunade the one big push she need before stopping as she and everyone else heard the wailing of a baby over her screams.

"It's boy!" Tsunade announced with a smile as she held up a red haired wailing baby boy for Kushina and Naruto to see. Confirming what the two new parents already knew before handing the baby, her grandson, to Biwako to clean so she could deliver the second baby that she knew swiftly followed the first. "I need you to give me another big push Kushina-chan." Tsunade instructed her daughter-in-law who tightened her vice grip around Naruto's hand and did as she was told.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kushina screamed as she pushed as hard as she could. Giving Tsunade another big push, before stopping when the wailing of a second baby filled the room.

"It's a girl," Tsunade happily announced as held up her wailing granddaughter for Kushina and Naruto to also see before moving to clean the baby next to Biwako.

"You did it." Naruto said smiling proudly at his tired panting wife.

"We did." Kushina corrected as she shot her husband a weak smile. Before kissing him as he brought his lips down to her own.

"Tousan tigh-" Naruto began to instruct but stopped as alarm bells went off in his head. "Kaachan move!" Naruto yelled to Tsunade as he sensed a massive chakra signature approaching her and Biwako at incredible speeds.

"Na-" Tsunade began to say but was silenced by a light blue streak that created a dust cloud as it moved into the room throwing her and Biwako back.

"Tsunade-chan!" Jiraiya yelled as he prepared to run into the dust cloud that had formed in front of him where Tsunade once stood. But was stopped by Naruto who grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

"She's fine." Naruto reassured as Jiraiya turned to face him. The sannin immediately noticing the change in appearance of his son's once violet eyes that were now glowing orange-yellow orbs, their pupils having taken on a cross like shape. "Kaachan's fine." Naruto repeated sensing his mother, unlike the now dead Biwako, was fine along with his children too. Whose current position was the reason why he had stopped Jiraiya from charging into the dust cloud why he himself didn't.

"Naruto-kun." Kushina gasped as the dust cloud cleared to show her and Jiraiya what had prevented Naruto from acting. There in front of them stood two cloaked figures that Kushina, Jiraiya, a wounded Tsunade and Naruto easily recognised.

"Izuna Uchiha." Naruto addressed the black haired cloaked figure on the right that he had easily recognised as Madara's dead brother who was killed by Tobirama. Having seen his picture in one of the scrolls at the Senju Compound Library. "Sandaime Raikage." Naruto addressed the hulking dark skinned lightening covered cloaked figure on the left having easily recognised him as the Raikage whose corpse was stolen. "Let my children go." Naruto angrily snarled at both the ripple eyed men in front of him with narrowed eyes.

A/n: So this is a re-attempt at my story Pein's Brother after gaining some new ideas I decided to reboot it.

Now the general idea is still the same but as you can see certain things have changed for the better hopefully. E.g the main pairing is no longer a harem but simply Naru/Kushi.

Also in this one Nagato won't be godlike. He will be at the strength he fought Itachi, Killer Bee and Naruto with; Demi-godlike. Also his Six Paths will be powerful shinobi e.g Izuna Uchiha and A whom you've already seen in this chapter.

Naruto will have the abilities I gave him in the Last Asura with a few bonuses.

Also my original Pein's Brother is dropped. I'm writing this new unrushed version along with The Return. Which I will update once I finish off the half written chapter I have on my pad.

Finally please give me your much needed feedback and tell me what you think of this version compared to the first.
