A/N: This is an OC as main characters fanfic. In case you didn't read the summary, I'd like to state again, this is a post-699 AU. That means that it DOES NOT follow canon. I take some elements of chapter 700, but the Gaiden never happens in this. Thank you.

KONOHA 11: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? PT.1

Marriages, positions and children after the war.

By: Yamada Hanako for the Konoha Shinobi Connection

The war is over – has been for 8 years. The Konoha 11, now 25 or 26, have long since reconciled with Uchiha Sasuke. Their world is back to the way it was before, with a few exceptions: their marriages for one, and their children.

Uchiha Sasuke and his wife Uchiha Sakura (nee Haruno) live in the Uchiha family mansion, with five year old daughter Jomei and two year old daughter Sarada. Sasuke is now a revered ANBU captain, and Sakura is the Head of the Hospital – a position inherited from her shishou, Tsunade-sama.

Our new Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto and wife Uzumaki Hinata (formerly Hyūga heiress) have just moved into the Hokage Residence, with five year old daughter Emiko, and two year old son, Boruto. Hinata's a jonin, and Naruto had finally achieved his goal of Seventh Hokage – although, not before his sensei had a chance at it first.

Hyūga Neji and his teammate Tenten are happily married, and with the elimination of main and branch in the Hyūgas, Hyūga Neji is now clan head. They have one daughter, five year old Chisaki.

Similarly, Nara Shikamaru and wife Temari of the Sand have two children – daughter Tetsumi, five, and son Shikadai, two. Temari is a Konoha jonin, having left her village of Suna to marry Shikamaru, and Shikamaru is both the Jonin commander, like his late father, Shikaku, and Hokage Adviser.

Yamanaka Ino and her husband, Sai, have two children as well: five year old Nina and two year old Inojin. Ino is head of the Yamanaka family and interrogator for the T&I division. Sai? Well, he's a regular jonin now, and generally serves as a chunin exam proctor as well.

These five families lead happy lives, older children in the Academy and their younger children having fun as toddlers. Konoha is finally at peace, the Akatsuki are gone, and perpetual peace seems to be on the horizon.

Today, on the eighth anniversary of the end of the Fourth Shinobi War, this reporter signs off. Happy anniversary!

Yamada Hanako has been writing for the Konoha Shinobi Connection for four years, since she was 22. She is a society columnist, reporting on the ninja families of Konoha, and the Konoha 11 in particular. Yamada Hanako is the author of Ninja War, Ninja Savage and is considered something of a civilian expert on shinobi, especially the shinobi of Konoha.

A/N: Some clarifications: I don't usually put an A/N at the beginning like that, chapters will generally be a little longer than this little news article piece, and the Konoha Shinobi Connection is a magazine/newspaper in Konoha that basically connects shinobi and civilians. Yamada Hanako is not our main character, nor is the main format of this story news articles.

Reviews are appreciated, I will use flames for my fireplace. Thank you!
