The Twin Jinchuriki

Y/N! Uzumaki - Jinchuriki x Sasuke Uchiha

{This story uses the reader’s name, but the reader is Naruto’s non-identical twin sister, so I have given the reader Kushina’s red hair and Minato’s blue eyes. ALSO shoutout to @the-fictional-wife for inspiring this story!}

13 Years Ago:

The Nine Tailed Fox snarls and roars loud enough to shake the ground, Minato and Kushina steady themselves as they hold their newborn babies in their arms.

“M-Minato… What are we going to do?” Kushina weakly asks her husband, rocking her blonde son as she speaks to soothe him.

Minato contemplates the possible outcomes of this situation, but they all end badly.

“I need you to run. Take our children with you-“

“No! Minato, I won’t leave you!” Kushina argues and stands her ground as angry tears well up in her green eyes.

The blonde Namikaze man groans in frustration and locks eyes with the orange beast.

“Kushina… I’ll seal half of the Nine Tailed Fox inside of myself and the other half in Y/N. I know it may seem harsh, but our daughter is strong, just like her Mother.”

The Red-Hot Habanero whimpers at Minato’s words and sobs softly. How could parents do something like this to their own children? How could she place this kind of burden on her newborn babies, especially their daughter? Kushina had to push those thoughts aside and place focus on protecting the Leaf Village and everyone in it.

“Alright, let’s do this before it’s too late.”

The 4th Hokage prepares the ritual and places his red-headed daughter in the centre. Her twin, which they named Naruto, lays closely outside of the ritual circle.

“To my children…” Kushina’s strained voice began to speak to the defenceless babies as Minato completes the final touches of his Reaper Death Seal.

“… I want you to grow up strong. Eat your vegetables and don’t be too picky. Always stand by each other’s side and take care of one another. I wish that I could be there to watch you both grow up, but… Your Father and I will see you again one day.”

***

The Present Day:

“Naruto, come on! We’re gonna be late! Not only did I set your alarm for you, but I tried to wake you up three times on my own! I swear, you could sleep through a typhoon!”

I peg Naruto’s ninja headband at him, which hits him directly in the face.

“20 points for Y/N Uzumaki! Hah!”

“You’re so dead!”

Naruto jumps out of bed and chases me around our shared apartment, laughing playfully.

“Are you two finished?”

A familiar voice draws Naruto’s and my’s attention towards our window, where we notice our Sensei and teammates watching with both annoyance and amusement.

“Sorry, Kakashi Sensei! Naruto slept in AGAIN. Didn’t you, you knucklehead?”

I headlock my blonde brother and give him some classic sibling affection. A good ‘ole noogie.

“Naruto, you are SUCH a pain. If it was just me, Sasuke and Y/N, maybe we’d be on time for once!” Sakura groans and rolls her eyes.

I blink a few times to process the words that just came out of her dirty mouth before snapping back.

“Naruto is NOT a pain, Sakura. You just wish that you could have an awesome brother like him.”

Sakura scoffs and crosses her arms, much to the amusement of our other teammate, Sasuke Uchiha. Huh, a genuine smile. Well, half a smile, anyway.

Naruto shoots me a grateful look before throwing on his ninja attire, then, the five of us set off for another adventure as Team 7.

(Hello beautiful readers! I was hesitant to post this first part of my new story, but I’d like to hear what you guys think of it! I’ve had writer’s block the last few days, so it has been a STRUGGLE. Thanks for reading!)

*Sakura POV of same story*

She fumbled with her clock as she tried to cover herself with the thin sheets. As she

turned make to her man she quickly realized he wasn’t asleep. Once you’ve spent as much time with a person as she had with Uzumaki Naruto you start getting their breathing patterns down.

She sighed and began playing with his hair. It was nice and soft and it let her mind wonder. The small life that was growing inside her brought feelings welling up in her chest that she didn’t experience with Sarada. A love that she thought only possible in fairy tales.

It had nothing to do with Sarada of course, she loved her more than life itself. It most definitely had something to do with the blond knucklehead fake sleeping beside her.

So she tapped her fingers against his hard head to get him to open his eyes.

‘It’s improper to stare at a married man like that Sakura,’ she remembered Ino saying. She just found it endearing is all that her best friend could be such a good father. She loved watching him carry Himawari around, she envied their father daughter relationship greatly. She wished Sarada had something like that, but Sasuke hadn’t found it in himself to at least visit.

Plus, she found it kinda hot seeing him so fatherly. Still she kept that to herself and watched from afar as his world came crashing down. It was an affair, of all things Hinata had an affair with another man. Sakura had never gotten a concrete answer as to who the man was but by proxy of elimination who Naruto affiliated himself with it wasn’t hard to discern.

So she did what she always did. She healed him, she didn’t come into it with an intimate relationship in mind. Naruto was her best friend first and foremost. So she helped him move, helped him feed himself, helped him dress for his Hokage ceremonies, saw him off at his diplomatic missions. She quickly found herself allowing feelings long thought buried to resurface.

‘You’re basically his wife at this point,’ she remembers Temari saying.

‘It’s really nice of you to be there for him like that,’ Tenten said.

‘Just make sure you keep his best interests at heart,’ Tsunade said.

Then one day Hinata had shown up at her door. She wasn’t quite sure how she should feel towards the woman, she felt anger but most of all she felt betrayal. She had entrusted Naruto’s heart to this woman and she crushed it.

‘Are you and Naruto together?’ She asked, Sakura remembered it down to the date.

‘What do you mean together exactly?’ She asked back.

‘Are you sleeping with him.’ It was a statement more than a question.

‘And if I was would that be a problem?’

The look on her face looked like it didn’t belong on it. There was rage and she activated her byakugan. Sakura inwardly scoffed, what right did she have to fight over a man she lost with her own actions.

‘I-,’ she faltered her face falling, ‘I wanted to try to work on us. But the only thing he wants to talk about are the kids.’

‘You should have thought about that before you broke his trust.’ She flinched as if Sakura had hit her.

‘He was gone all the time and when he was home he seemed stressed so I didn’t want to pile on to his stress, Boruto was acting out and I felt alone. I needed support and-,’ she stopped short, ‘We both agreed it went to far, I regret it everyday.’

‘You should,’ Sakura said, ‘I get it. Trust me I get it. But it doesn’t excuse what you did. I trusted you Hinata, I backed off for you! You didn’t only betray him you betrayed me as well. He’s lost everything he wished for and it’s because of your actions.’

She lied or at least she didn’t say one way or the other if Naruto and her were sleeping together. She hadn’t crossed that boundary yet she was scared too. So in all of her wisdom she went to Ino of all people for advice.

‘He trusts you Sakura, be careful not to break that trust.’

So she did she took it slow and at his pace. It wasn’t long before they both had fallen for each other all over again
