[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4512691/1/Medicinal_Lullaby Medicinal Lullaby]] is a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fanfiction written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/368229/Shivakashi Shivakashi]]. Starting from just after Naruto finds out about the death of Jiraiya in the series, it [[ForWantOfANail deviates from the series canon]] when a heavily pregnant teenage girl called Kensha shows up on Naruto's doorstep. Kensha is a princess Naruto was hired to guard near the end of [[TimeSkip his three years of training with Jiraiya]] who fell for him when he took her out of her GildedCage to see the world. They made love on their last night together, but Kensha was forced to flee her overbearing father when she fell pregnant. Naruto decides to shape up and prepare for fatherhood, despite his responsibilities to Konoha.

-->'''Pein:''' You seem ill prepared, Jinchuuriki.
-->'''Naruto:''' It's a weekend.

* KickedUpstairs: Naruto comes to think of the position of Hokage as this, once he realises the position is ultimately a DeskJockey one. As he puts it, "Hokage is a job for when you retire." [[spoiler:Kakashi gets stuck with this when the position is forced on him.]]

-->'''Naruto:''' Let's get one thing straight here Sasuke... I do not want to be here. I can think of a good twenty things I'd rather be doing right now, most of which involve lying down. So I'm going to make this quick, and then I'm going to forget you. I have no tolerance for you any more. [...] I feel like I'm obliged to ask you why you're doing this so suddenly...though I know the reason won't change the outcome of this battle.
-->'''Sasuke:''' I'm about to [[spoiler:destroy your village]] and yet you show almost no concern.\\

-->'''Kiba:''' I gotta respect you for getting back here in one piece. I mean, going on some super S-class mission for years and then taking the Akatsuki head on? Not to mention [[spoiler:killing Kisame]]...man, I almost forgot about that. Wow...I guess you can't get more unpredictable than that.
-->''Naruto's clone dispels downstairs, letting Naruto know that Hitomi is back in Konoha and racing to see him immediately.''
-->'''Naruto:''' [[LampshadeHanging You're about to eat your own words, dog boy.]]
-->'''Hitomi''': DADDY!

-->Weren't girls supposed to play with dolls and stay clean?
-->Weren't they supposed to lose arm wrestling matches against guys?
-->Weren't they supposed to fuss over their figures rather than instigate ramen eating contests with whoever looked at them wrong?
-->They certainly weren't supposed to skip out on ikebana and try to worm into the boys' separate practice.

* [[spoiler:WeHardlyKnewYe: Poor Kensha really only exists to bear Naruto's child then die and leave him as a traumatised single parent.]]

-->A single, crimson eye surveyed the swarming town of Otafuku Gai over the distance of several acres worth of treetops. [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife So many humans, so many lives. Such a waste.]]
-->Alas, Madara always prided himself as one who could look at the big picture. [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans The end would justify the means-despicable they may be.]]

-->'''Madara:''' Besides, I thought you could do with a little sex-
-->'''Sasuke:''' ARE YOU SHITTING ME?

* CoolPet: Hitomi adopts a baby [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_%28animal%29 fisher cat]] which she calls Fuzz-wad.

* SimpleStaff: Oh it may ''look'' like one, but watch out when Naruto has his Stick!

* AdultFear: Nothing terrifies Naruto so much as the thought of any kind of harm coming to Hitomi.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Kensha; Kisame really had no ''reason'' to kill her otherwise.]]

-->Alas, Madara always prided himself as one who could look at the big picture. [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans The end would justify the means—despicable they may be.]]

-->'''Madara:''' Besides, I thought you could do with a little sex—

* QuitYourWhining: In one of the fic's biggest [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]] Naruto bluntly calls Sasuke out on his endless, obsessive, self-pitying {{Wangst}}.

-->'''Sasuke:''' I'm about to [[spoiler:destroy your village]] and yet you show almost no concern.
-->'''Naruto:''' Why would I be concerned about you? You're still the same, impulsive child that left the village ten years ago. Apparently Orochimaru gave you power and nothing else. But that was all you wanted, wasn't it? How did that work out for you?

Naruto decides to shape up and prepare for fatherhood, despite his responsibilities to Konoha.

* WriterOnBoard: While it doesn't derail her writing, Shivakashi's preferences shine through pretty strongly in the fic: she doesn't like Sasuke and has a dim opinion of the way he's EasilyForgiven in canon, leading to [[spoiler:Naruto eventually facing him, telling him he's "tired of him" and crushing him, with Sakura [[SlashedThroat finishing him off]]]], although she still allows him to be appropriately BadAss; and she doesn't consider Hinata's ShrinkingViolet character and [[CannotSpitItOut inability to Spit It Out]] a good match for Naruto (the fic was written before [[WhamEpisode chapter 437 of the manga]]) and thinks it fair that she simply misses her chance with him when [[spoiler:he and Sakura become lovers]].

* BerserkButton: Madara is [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy fully aware]] that [[PapaWolf Hitomi is Naruto's]] and does ''not'' want to press it:

* [[ButICantBePregnant But She Can't Be Pregnant!]]: Kensha was on protection when she and Naruto made love, but the power of the Kyuubi was able to overwhelm any feeble human preventative measures. As [[spoiler:Ino]] puts it, he has "super-sperm".

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Starting with Kisame and Kensha, the series eventually adds Zetsu, Konan, Sasuke, Karin, Suigetsu and even the Kyuubi to the tally.]]

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4512691/1/Medicinal_Lullaby Medicinal Lullaby]] is a ''{{Naruto}}'' fanfiction written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/368229/Shivakashi Shivakashi]]. Starting from just after Naruto finds out about the death of [[TheObiWan Jiraiya]] in the series, it [[ForWantOfANail deviates from the series canon]] when a heavily pregnant teenage girl called Kensha shows up on Naruto's doorstep. Kensha is a princess Naruto was hired to guard near the end of [[TimeSkip his three years of training with Jiraiya]] who fell for him when he took her out of her GildedCage to see the world. They made love on their last night together, but Kensha was forced to flee her overbearing father when she fell pregnant. Naruto decides to shape up and prepare for fatherhood, despite his responsibilities to Konoha.

Epic in scope, the story goes well beyond the bounds of the ''Naruto'' manga, following the characters through over a decade of their lives. The story tracks Naruto's growth as not only a father, but as a ninja and eventually as Konoha's greatest champion and defender. Spanning 38 chapters and still incomplete, the story is currently on indefinite hiatus due to a combination of real life events putting the author under pressure and [[JumpingTheShark baffled bewilderment at the direction the actual series has gone in]] sapping her enthusiasm for writing. Hopefully it will some day be resumed.

* HotDad: Chapter 9 is called 'Girls like Boys with Babies'. It's practically a RunningGag that fatherhood has made Naruto ''extremely'' attractive to the women in the series. He even has "a brief, horrifying insight" of Hitomi's friend Leela coming on to him when she reaches her teenage years.

* StrangeGirl: Hitomi again; her biggest complaint about ikebana classes at the academy is that she's not allowed to eat the flowers.

** ArtisticLicenseBiology: Contraception does not work that way. PHYSICAL contraceptives such as condoms prevent the sperm from even reaching the egg to fertilise it, but chemical ones like the Pill (which is the kind Kensha was on) actually inhibit ovulation, so there isn't even an egg for the sperm to fertilise. Of course, that's not to say that, since ''Naruto'' is a fictional series set in an alternate pseudo-mediaeval-Japanese-supernatural setting, she wasn't on some kind of fictional contraceptive which would justify this.
