The sun was high now.
Naruto lay in the center of the Harem Seal House's master bedding chamber, silk sheets tangled around his hips, his skin kissed with sweat, seed, and lipstick marks in various shades.
His cock, finally soft.
His breath, finally calm.
His eyes, only half open.
Around him, they lay in silence.
Sakura, head on his left shoulder.
Hinata, draped across his chest.
Ino, curled beside his legs.
Sasuko, arms crossed but close.
Tsunade, leaned against the bedframe, watching them all.
Each one wore the same expression:
Satisfied.
But beneath it?
Something deeper.
Something sharper.
Something inevitable.
It was Hinata who whispered it first.
Her voice was small.
Gentle.
"I didn't take the contraceptive seal this week…"
Sakura's head lifted instantly.
"What?"
Hinata didn't meet her gaze. "I didn't think I needed it. Until last night."
The room went still.
Naruto blinked.
"Wait—Hinata—you mean—"
Sasuko sat up. "You let him finish inside you unsealed?"
Hinata's cheeks turned red. "Y-You all got turns. I thought—if anyone…"
Ino sat upright, glaring. "So that's it? You're going to keep it if you're pregnant?"
Tsunade stood slowly, calm but firm.
"We all knew this was coming."
Sakura's fists clenched the sheets. "We said we'd talk about it when the time came. Not sneak off and grab the first load."
Hinata turned to Naruto.
Eyes wide.
Soft.
Hopeful.
"…If I'm carrying your child, would you… want it?"
He opened his mouth.
Then stopped.
He looked at all of them.
Their bodies.
Their hearts.
Their histories.
And none of them looked away.
The silence broke with Sakura's voice — low, trembling.
"Then maybe we all need to stop playing games…"
She looked at Naruto.
"Do you want a child, Naruto?"
"Do you want it with her first?"
Naruto sat up slowly.
The room burned with tension.
Sex wasn't the only thing they were sharing anymore.
Now it was blood.
Now it was legacy.
And if one of them bore his heir first…
The rest would never forget.
