I've decided to re-upload this story, unfortunately I've seemed to misplace my flash with all the chapters on it, this was the only chapter that was saved solely to my computer so it could take a while for all the chapters to go back up. I was going through some personal issues in my life and when coupled with the whiny PM's I got it just made me say "Fuck this game!"... but after some quality alone time, good food and meditation I'm back. I'm back into my normal mind set so, I will continue to write this story how I want to and if you happen to disagree with how I do somethings go fuck yourself okay? Okay.

Muahaha! You thought you had vanquished me before but no! I have returned to- Oh wait sorry wrong place.

Anyway I'm back after not writing for quite a while.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

The sun was beginning to set over Konohagakure casting the entire village in it's warm orange glow. Two figures, obviously men by their build, were standing on top of a building. Well, one was standing the other was crouching.

"Just our luck huh." the crouching man said.

"... Yeah." the other man sighed.

Uzumaki Naruto and Hatake Kakashi, the two men were enjoying the peaceful moment after their mission. Kakashi as usual was reading a book from the Icha Icha series, the plot line wasn't as good from when Jiraiya wrote it but this new author did an okay job. The man at least had the respect to put a disclaimer in all of his books. The silver haired Jounin snapped his book shut and looked down at Naruto.

"You ready Naruto?" he asked.

"Just a few more minutes... that breeze feels nice, ne Kakashi-sensei." Naruto replied.

"Yeah, okay." he said.

Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath before exhaling. He loved this time of day, it wasn't quite night yet but at the same time it was far from day time. Plus he wanted to stay here as long as he could, he had hoped that the mission he and Kakashi had just finished would've taken longer. On all days, this day... Or as Sakura called it "Team Day!". Oh how Naruto loathed this day, don't think him an ass he loved Sasuke and Sakura with all his heart but there was only so much he could handle. On this day every year for close to nine years now, the original members of Team 7 would gather at a restaurant Sakura would pick and catch up with one another. Well actually it was more like Sakura and Sasuke would talk about their ever growing relationship while Naruto and Kakashi sat there and nodded.

"So, three hours of how awesome their love life is and how everyday they get more and more in love... makes me want to throw up." Naruto sighed.

"I agree, but I'd rather deal with that then her tears of "Don't you two love us?" and those puppy dog eyes." Kakashi said.

"I guess you're right, c'mon le- Where is it?!" Naruto stood up in a panic. "I just had it!"

"What, where's what?!" Kakashi asked.

"My copy of Icha Icha Assassins! I just had it!" Naruto yelled.

"Uh oh! Um okay let's not panic! Maybe you dropped it when we got up here?" now Kakashi was really worried.

"Found it!" Naruto proclaimed. "It was in my kunai pouch."

"Well now that the danger has passed shall we go?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto slipped the book back into his kunai pouch before giving Kakashi a confirming nod. The two jumped off to the restaurant that Sakura had specified.

"What could be keeping them? I told them this restaurant at six thirty!" Sakura whined.

Sasuke looked over at his girlfriend and calmly sipped his water.

"Relax Sakura. Kakashi and Naruto had a mission remember? They might be a tad late." he tried to explain.

"What if they don't show up?! Those two are so busy I don't think I'll be able to re-schedule this!" she whined again.

Sasuke sighed before running a hand through his hair. Sakura ignored him and looked out at the street, keeping an eye out for a flash of blond or silver. She craned her neck to get a better view while continuously checking her watch for the time, it was already a quarter to seven. She had almost given up hope when she spotted a sight of silver and blond slowly making their way towards the restaurant. Smiling, she rushed over to the pair before grabbing their hands.

"Naruto! Kakashi-sensei!" she smiled at them. "I didn't think you two would come!"

Kakashi gave his usual eye smile and Naruto let out a nervous chuckle.

"We would never do anything to upset you Sakura, ne Kakashi-sensei?" he said.

"R-right..." Kakashi chuckled.

She smiled then dragged them over to the table she and Sasuke had claimed. Kakashi was placed next to Sasuke while Naruto and Sakura sat together. Instantly Sakura began talking about her and Sasuke's relationship, how they were planning on marriage soon. Expecting this, Naruto pulled out his book and started reading.

"Naruto!" Sakura steamed.

"Yes...?" he asked.

"What do you think you're reading?!" she yelled at him.

"I don't know what you're getting all upset about. I didn't see you throw away the copy I gave you for your birthday three years ago." Naruto said.

Sakura blushed and looked down in an attempt to hide her shame. An awkward silence came over them and Kakashi decided to pick things back up, of course this made Sakura go right back into her talking of her relationship.

"We know that it's a serious step but Sasuke-kun wants to be married before we have children." Sakura continued.

Naruto sighed as he shut his book. "Yep, I'm out."

They all looked at him as he stood up from his seat next to Sakura. Before he could get so much as two steps away from the table Sakura obtained a vice like grip on his wrist.

"Naruto, you just got here." she complained.

"Yes, and so far all you have done is talk about your relationship." he said. "You'll have to forgive me if that's not what I define as quality catching up."

He tore his wrist from her grip and straightened the sleeve of his shirt.

"Now, if you'll excuse me. I've got Chunin to train and take on missions tomorrow." he said as he walked off.

Sakura watched him walk off before turning her gaze back onto Kakashi.

"Sensei, what happened to us?" she asked. "At one time I couldn't get five minutes away from him, now I'm lucky to get five seconds with him."

"Do you want the real answer or some made up answer about how busy he is?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura didn't specify so he decided to give her the cold truth.

"While it is true that Naruto is busy, but it's also so much more than that." he began. "Even if Naruto wasn't a Jounin or a sensei."

'Naruto is a sensei?' Sakura thought.

"Even if you weren't a Chunin and Sasuke wasn't a civilian. The two of you have almost cut him out of your lives, this is the only day you two actually want to see him and he, much like myself, can't stand this day." Kakashi finished.

"I see." Sakura mumbled.

Kakashi didn't say another word as he stood up from the table and walked away. Sasuke was glad that they were alone again, he had to tell her, he had put this off for far too long. Before he could say anything Sakura stood up.

"I'm gonna go Sasuke-kun, I've... got some thinking to do." with those words she much like to previous two guests walked away.

Sasuke sighed, now he had to wait even longer to tell her. A pair of arms circled his neck and a figure leaned onto his back.

"I thought you were going to tell her." the figure, obviously a woman by the voice, said.

"I was, I will. She just took off before I could." Sasuke replied. "Give me three days Kaede and then you can move in."

Kaede giggled and kissed his cheek. "I'll hold you to that Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke gave a weak hearted chuckle in response.

Now, several things I need to clear up before we go any further.

1: I did not describe anyone yet on purpose. I plan to do that as the chapters come to, for instance, Naruto will be "shown" next chapter.

2: Since I have no idea how the manga is going to end I decided to put my own twist on things.
a: Obito/Tobi is dead and the Juubi has been safely sealed again.
b: After the war some old wounds resurfaced between villages and so many including Konoha are fighting eachother again.
c: Sasuke was safely returned after a battle with Naruto, his status as civilian will be explained later.

3: This is set 9 years after the manga so Naruto and his generation are 25-26

4: I did not make Sasuke a cheater because I'm one of those "Sasuke sucks boo!" peoples. His reason for the other woman will, like many things, be explained later.

The chapters will be written the exact same way, save for a few things I edit. So be prepared to re-read all the things you read before...

I hope that cleared up some questions any of you may have had while reading this, and I hope you will stay tuned for the next installment.
