Naruto laid on the bed he was borrowing. Sasuke's room was a few doors down and since the massacre... The house has been pretty empty. He stared up at the ceiling, seeing a red stain that had yet to be removed. He frowned, remembering the ROOT ANBU from that night.

'Damn-it... if only... if only I was stronger then,' Naruto thought, touching his eye-patch, 'maybe I could've done something... and maybe Itachi wouldn't be on the run.' he rolled over on his side and looked at the glass of water on the night-stand. Picking it up, he drank it until it was empty. But he was still thirsty. Sighing, he got out of bed with glass in hand and walked out into the hallway and down the stairs. Walking to the kitchen, he went to the sink and turned the handle for cold water. Once the glass was full, he drank it immediately, not wasting a moment before he filled it again.

When he was done, he began to walk back to the room he was borrowing... when he saw Mikoto sleeping on a dark-blue recliner with a very thick blanket. Her eyes were puffy and her eye-liner was all over her face. She looked like she cried herself to sleep. Walking a bit closer, Naruto saw a piece of paper in her hand... with the Hokage seal on the back of it.

"What did Dad do that made her cry?" Naruto whispered to himself as he set his glass on an end-table and reached for the paper. As he did, Mikoto twitched, making him freeze. He stood still, not wanting to wake her up. Once he knew that she wouldn't wake up, he grabbed the paper and read it to himself. "Mikoto Uchiha, due to the re-cent event... we are instating the CRA... you are required to find a suitor within the next few months. We would usually provide one for you, but we are short-handed after the events of the Nine-Tails Attack... as such, you are to find a possible suitor for the repopulation of the Uchiha clan... or else we will enact Clause 2 of the CRA when your son, Sasuke Uchiha, graduates from the academy... making him the head of the Uchiha Clan... and your... husband... you have our most sincerest apologies... The Hokage and Shinobi Clan Heads," Naruto whispered out-loud.

He re-read it, over and over again. Making sure he didn't misread any of the words. His entire body began to twitch in anger. All the while, he remembered a lesson Guy had taught him in his... 'History' class.

"Now as we know, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, along with Madara Uchiha, were the founders of Konoha. Although most people say that it was just Hashirama, the records say otherwise," Guy stated, standing on one leg with a 100-pound backpack on his back while reading a book with Naruto on his shoulders, who was doing a handstand while having two rocks on his feet.

"O-Okay, sensei," Naruto said, trying his best to pay attention while also balancing

"Now, after the First Hokage had passed the title of Hokage to his younger brother, Tobirama. The Second Hokage enacted a... uhh," Guy began to blush, taking a deep breath, "an act. While the Senju clan was well in number, they still had great losses, along with the Uchiha and other clans that had begun to join the village. After years of war, their numbers had become low... and as such, Lord Tobirama created the Clan Restoration Act or CRA for short. This act allowed Male members of the clans to take on multiple wives, hopefully producing many offspring,"

"... Why would you want more than one wife?" Naruto asked, tilting his head, "isn't that, cheating?"

"W-Well, yes and no. You see, the idea is to have multiple wives with different people as... well... *sigh*, as much as I like this law, there are several problems with it, my young student," Guy stated, closing the book and grabbing Naruto. Setting Naruto on the ground, Guy walked to the chalk-board on wheels and began to draw a diagram.

"This is what a normal family tree looks like... it looks like a tree," Guy stated, "this is all fine, as this is what would normally happen with clans of large size... but, with the CRA. The male clan members would have multiple wives as to prevent clause 2 of the CRA... which does this," Guy then began to draw another diagram, one that wasn't so... out-ward.

(I know it's a meme, but this was the best I could do and I did not make it. I used Google Images to find it)

"This only happens when either A; there are no potential suitors for a female member of the clan or their inability to... ahem, reproduce at a rapid rate. Or B; the last male clan member has yet to graduate the academy and in order to preserve a pure blood-line, must marry and have a child with the closest living female relative," Guy explained

"I... I don't feel so good," Naruto said, slowly lowering himself onto the ground as he held his stomach

"Thankfully, that hasn't been used since the Uzumaki Slaughter when the Senju clan would have to marry into their cousin branch... but most children were lost. Lady Kushina, thankfully, had you and your siblings, so the CRA didn't go too far. And thank kami that Lord Hokage loves you. Most of the time they would just choose something just for the pleasure of it rather than love," Guy said, making Naruto vomit

"Blahhhhh!"

"Oh no," Guy said, looking at the mess Naruto had made.

Naruto continued to look at the paper in his hands as he gritted his teeth and ran. With the paper still with him, Naruto ran out the door and into the cold night. He ran and ran, going to the one person who knew what to do. The only person he could trust... He ran straight for Garou.

Garou was sleeping peacefully on his bench in the park, using a light-blue blanket Bang had bought him earlier in the day. As he snored, he was suddenly awoken by shouting, "GAROU-SENSEI! GAROU-SENSEI!" he heard. Cracking open an eye-lid, he saw Naruto running to him with tears going down his eyes with a piece of paper in his hand.

"What do you want, kid? I was having such a nice dream," Garou whined, turning over

"G-Garou-sensei! R-Read this!" Naruto shouted, presenting the paper to him.

"Kid, it's 12 in the morning. The last thing I wanna do is read when it's not even the ass-crack of dawn," Garou said, pulling up his blanket

"P-Please read it! Garou-sensei! I-I wanna save my friend!" Naruto insisted. Garou groaned as he reached for it, holding it up to the nearby lamp-post to read it.

Garou stared at it for a few moments before sitting up on his bench. He then got his face closer to the paper, Naruto hearing Garou grinding his teeth. Naruto saw his sensei's body begin to shake.

"Really? Making a mother marry her son?" Garou managed to say as Naruto suddenly felt... scared. Naruto's entire being, his soul! He felt like he was going to die as Garou was giving off an aura that reeked of more death than... even Danzo could give off. Naruto collapsed to the ground as Garou crumpled up the paper and chucked it into the nearby garbage can.

"Naruto... I have a question to ask," Garou muttered as Naruto nodded

"Y-yes?" he stuttered

"What makes someone... a shinobi, in the village?" Garou questioned

"U-uh, f-from what G-Guy sensei said. S-Someone w-who wants t-to protect t-their village a-and the p-people t-they love," Naruto responded, Garou turned his head and looked at him

"And do you want to follow a village that does... this?" Garou pointed at the trash-can, "making sons mothers. Is this entire village built upon the idea of incest?"

"I-I don't know," Naruto replied, still stuttering as Garou was releasing a lot of killing intent.

"When I first came here... I saw people smiling. Children playing. I heard laughter like no other. But then as I began to stay... I notice some things. Prostitution is a legal job. Child labor. Murder for money. Kidnapping for the highest bidder. Then I found you, being beaten up because you were 'dying'." Garou seethed, standing up, "I first hated this village... and now.. I loathe it with a passion," Garou then smiled a devilish smile as he began walking

"W-where are you going?" Naruto stuttered

"Naruto... go get Shizune... and ask her to bring some rope and two burlap sacks," Garou replied, looking at his student, "I plan on damaging this village the only way I can think of at the moment... I'm going to kidnap the last of the Uchiha's... and we're going to Japan!"
