Disclaimer on account (I think)
"No matter what happened...Why do you care so much about me!?" His best friend -and future Hokage- chuckled, making him think he was being mocked. He wondered why he can still chuckle after a war, a ferocious battle with his best friend, and after losing his arm as well as allies.
"Don't you already know?" he smirked half-heartedly. "Heh, look at you, talking so much now 'cause you can't move..." Sasuke's response was quick.
"Shut up and answer me!" he yelled. The blond moved his eyes to look at the avenger. His face a bloodied and bruised.
"That's because you're my friend." Sasuke wasn't satisfied with that answer.
"You already said that once. What does that mean to you?" The demon vessel was silent for a moment.
"If you want me to explain it I'm not really sure how to put it.." Sasuke was depending on his answer, he couldn't mess this up. "It's just that when I hear you blabbering about carrying about carrying everything on your shoulders…"
"..I can kinda ...feel the pain too." The avenger was shocked by his answer, but then again...it was Naruto. What can you expect? "It really hurts. There's no way I can just ignore it!"

A dark raven haired man opened his eyes with a smile. It's time to head back to Konoha. He got up and went on his way. Smiling knowing who will be waiting for him back in his village. Soon enough, after about twenty-five minutes of walking, he could be the big gate. He sighed.
He walked slowly and to his time to the gate.
"I'm back." He said to the two at the gate. He couldn't quite remember their names. Two heads perked up.
"Sasuke-san. Welcome back. It's been a month and a half since the last time you were here." One of them said with welcoming eyes that made Sasuke think that it truly was his home, he chuckled.
"It's been that long already?" It was more of a statement than a question, but the other one responded anyways.
"Yep. But nothing' has changed though. The usual; the Hokage trying to not do his paperwork and the head medic yelling at him." Sasuke laughed (which in the past would be pretty rare). He smiled at the mention of his wife and best friend.
"Well I'm going to head on. Bye." He walked and waved behind him. He could hear the two shout "Bye!" at him. He stopped walking for a moment, glanced around, closed his eyes and breathed the air. I'm home.

"Hey mama?" a little girl with glasses and dark hair inherited from her father asked with curious eyes. Her mother smiled and looked down from her book leaving it on the table.
"Yes Sarada? What is it?" Sakura said in a kind voice. Sarada hesitated.
"Well. Um… How come father never comes home first when he comes back? Aren't we his first priority?" Just like her daughter, she hesitated to answer.
"How should I say this…" It was frustrating trying to find a good answer. "Your father cares about us a lot. But…" The young girl tilted her head.
"But?" she repeated.
"But...Well...it-it's just that we aren't really his first priority though." Seeing the confusion and hurt in her daughter's eyes, she scrambled to continue.
"Your father loves us! But Naruto -the Hokage...has done so much for him. He never gave up on him and he's also your father's best friend. Even now they both would do anything for each other. Their bond...is inseparable. That's why your father always goes to him first. And of course the latter welcomes him with open arms."
"So basically father loves us, but Hokage-sama is his first priority?" Sarada questioned.
"Well, it's something like that."
…
He strode in the office like it was the most normal thing in the world, he might not have been smiling but he was radiating of excitement and happiness. Nobody tried to stop him except the new guard.
"Excuse me- uh pardon but, you can't enter here without permission." He stuttered, frightened by his appearance. All Sasuke did was raise an eyebrow and the rookie took a step back. The other one that was with him spoke up.
"It's fine dude. He can come in whenever he wants to." The rookie looked confused.
"What?"
"That is the Hokage's one and only best friend." And he dragged him out along with himself by the back of his collar as to leave the two by themselves. The jinchūriki looked up with a grin spreading on his face.
"You're back!" he shouted as he ran over to hug him. Sasuke laughed and hugged back.
"Yeah I'm back."
It's very… short. So short it's stupid. I'm sorry guys. Well it doesn't matter, I guess. It's a one shot after all.
