Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4512691/21/"I...I can't have children." Sasuke spoke the words he wouldn't admit in front of Ren. He had become quite an imposing figure over the years; tall and dark, strong and pale, with a voice that was both chilling and formidable. But now it sounded around the sparsely furnished room with disbelief and emptiness.
Madara cocked his head to the side.
"Well of course," he said simply with a shrug as though the answer had been obvious the whole time. Which it had; to others of the group, anyway, for a good year now. But until this moment Sasuke had refused to see reason. Madara decided to grant his young heir an explanation.
"Receiving the cursed seal decreases potency exponentially. Its boost of power mimics a steroid and increases estrogen production as a reflex," he paused for a moment, rubbing his chin, "Of course, the mangekyo sharingan has a similar effect. I've noticed a pattern of the more powerful of our family having less children. Sometimes none at all."
Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing. He placed a hand on the side of his head, almost as if to steady himself.
"And you didn't tell me?" he hissed when he found his voice once more, "You let this happen? You let me waste my time with Karin?"
Madara laughed, apparently taking the matter quite lightly.
"Let it happen? What difference would it have made? You had already gone to Orochimaru before you met me, and you had already killed your brother for the eye. What was done was done by the time I came around."
Sasuke's nails were digging into his palms, his temper rising like the volcanoes of Demon Country.
"Besides, I thought you could do with a little sex—"
"ARE YOU SHITTING ME?"
Sasuke was breathing hard, his head was spinning.
Madara leaned back, not quite expecting an outburst of that magnitude.
"Hn. Clearly I was mistaken. So sorry."
Sasuke wanted to smash the man's face in, he almost made an attempt, before remembering that Madara would most likely pull that annoying stunt that would cause his fist to go right through him.
