It had been 4 years since the best night of her life, she had married Shikamaru, they had been careful in their lovemaking ever since because she didn't want to get pregnant just yet, Sakura had to many things to do such as complete her duties as Head of the Kamizuru Clan.
Sakura glared at her sleeping husband "Shikamaru if you don't get your lazy bum up right now, I'll get Kanpecki to slobber all over you again" she threatened in an angry tone, Sakura's hands were placed on her hips.
The words Kanpecki and slobber made the 22 year old adult male to sit straight up in bed to stare at his beautiful pink haired wife "You know your beautiful when your angry right" he smiled sheepishly when Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Then I must be gorgeous because I'm more than a little angry Shikamaru, you promised Yukimaru that you would help him get ready today for the move to the new compound" Sakura huffed and flipped her floor length hair.
Tsunade had been working on a compound for the Kamizuru Clan and it had just been finished yesterday, Shikamaru had promised their 13 year old adopted son Yukimaru that he would help him pack up his things for the big move today.
"I'm going" Shikamaru jumped to his feet, he knew better than to argue with Sakura when she took that tone with him, and he knew damn well that Sakura would make good on her threat of getting Kanpecki, Yukimaru's companion to tackle him and slobber all over him.
'Hmmph Men' Sakura's eyes twitched in irritation as she walked slowly down the hall, Sakura wanted to get this all done today, so that they could have a nice relaxing meal with all of her family and then get a goodnights sleep.
Tomorrow was Yukimaru's academy graduation exams, she had already been contacted by Minato who had taken his place as the Hokage again, his son Naruto was in training to be the 6th Hokage, and he was currently dating Hinata.
Back to her previous thoughts, Minato had contacted her and she knew that she was in the running for becoming a jonin instructor, Asuma and Kurenai who had retired when they married had a child named Yuuki who was a little whirlwind.
The only ones left were the younger generation and Sakura knew that Neji had gotten a letter as well along with her brother Shino and Chouji, one of them would refuse though because there were only three graduating teams this year.
It seemed like everyone was getting married nowadays, the world had become peaceful, so people were pairing up left and right, the thought briefly crossed her mind as Sakura pulled the laundry off the clothesline.
"Kaa-chan, otou-san is being lazy again" Yukimaru called out to her from his attic window, the boy had always loved being high up once he had gotten over his fear of heights "Do you want me to tell Kanpecki to slobber on him again" he hollered down to her.
"No just tell your father that if he doesn't get his lazy bum up I'll be telling his mother" Sakura smirked when Yukimaru was dragged from the window as Shikamaru put him a gentle headlock and gave the short haired teen a noogie.
After all these years Shikamaru was still terrified of his mother, one time she had kicked him out of the house and so he trudged back to the Nara compound to spend the night on the couch, Yoshino had once again thrown the frying pan at him only that time it had whacked him.
Shikamaru woke up with her leaning over him and Yoshino scowling from her spot on the loveseat holding the dreaded frying pan, Sakura had forgiven him for whatever they had been fighting about and he was allowed back into their house.
Speaking of Yoshino and Shikaku, they had just appeared in the backyard walking through the gate she had put up for the pups Midori had, had over the years until it was officially impossible for her to have anymore.
"Hello Mother" Sakura had gotten use to calling Yoshino her mother a couple years ago, not only that but she also called Tsunade her mom just like with her two male parents, she couldn't choose between any of her family so she just accepted them all.
"Sakura-chan how are you dear" Yoshino reached out and pulled Sakura into a quick hug "And where's my son and grandson at" she crossed her arms and tapped her foot, the two males quickly scrambled from the house.
Of course Yukimaru was going to act all innocent "Yoshino-obachan" he cuddled up next to the older woman and stuck his tongue out childishly at Shikamaru who had trudged out slowly behind him sulking the entire way.
Before Yoshino could nag at Shikamaru, Yukimaru distracted the woman "Otou-san helped me pack up my room, I am so excited to see the new house" he hugged Yoshino making her forget what she had been about to do.
'So that's their game' Sakura shook her head, she wouldn't rat the two out, Sakura would allow them their fun until Yoshino caught on and then they would be completely on their own like usual when Yoshino scolded both like they were 5 year olds again.
"As for your earlier question Mother, I am doing fine, can't say the same for Midori, she's still recovering from her surgery" Sakura was getting worried about her companion, she didn't know how old the wolf had been when they had bonded but she was sure Midori's time was ending.
"Ah is that poor girl still having a hard time" Yoshino had warmed up to the wolf over time and hated to see Midori suffering like she obviously was when Sakura nodded her head Yoshino patted her hand "Just don't forget the time you spent with her" Yoshino was blunt.
Sakura gave Yoshino another quick hug before walking into the house carrying her basket, Suzumebachi and Hidan, her advisors in the clan would be here soon to talk about somethings and Sakura wanted at least half of the house packed up.
"You two better get back to work" she huffed and set down her basket of clothes to twist her hair up to keep it out of the way while she worked "And don't you dare get lazy again Shikamaru" Sakura warned eyeing said man before he snuck around the corner.
He remained silent for a moment "Yes, my beautiful gem" he finally called back, after their wedding Shikamaru had started calling her that, he knew better than to laze about the house today of all days.
Yoshino smiled widely at Sakura "How you stand that lazy man as your husband I will never understand but I know the Nara lure" Yoshino eyed Shikaku hungrily, she would never tire of her own husband so many creative ways to have fun in the bedroom with a Nara as your partner.
Sakura had caught onto what Yoshino was hinting at and her cheeks burned red, Shikamaru wasn't lazy in the bedroom in fact he often, she shook her head to rid it of the naughty thoughts and moved through the house sealing things in scrolls and shoving them in a bag.
As they were passing by the front doors, they slammed open and Suzumebachi, Hidan and their child Hibiki came waltzing in "Sakura talk now, pack later" there were several things to go over before they settled into the Kamizuru Compound.
When the six of them, Yoshino and Shikaku went back to their home leaving the Kamizuru's to chat, settled into the living Suzumebachi who was holding a squirming Hibiki unfolded a letter that had come from all the remaining Kamizuru.
"The minute we get settled into the compound, you Sakura as the head of the clan have to make sure the houses are suitable and then we will all go to the gates and wait for their arrival" Suzumebachi read out loud.
"Once the others arrive we will escort them back to the compound and get them settled, over the course of the next two weeks, Shikamaru as your husband will go around and write down information on the Kamizuru and then file it away" was read out next.
Shikamaru sulked but he knew the duties as clan head "Sakura will then fill out a report and turn it in to Lady Tsunade" Suzumebachi flipped a page, and then pulled her son up from where he was sliding off her knee.
"Getting to know the clan members individually will follow and then helping them out with whatever problems they have will come after that" she finally finished "Hibiki sit still" Suzumebachi huffed, little kids were ridiculous.
Sakura giggled but stood with Shikamaru and went about packing the rest of her belongings soon enough they had moved into the compound, and then Sakura started her duties once the other Kamizuru's had arrived and settled in Sakura, Shikamaru and Yukimaru went to bed.
The next day would determine if Sakura got to be a jonin instructor over the three teens she wanted to instruct this is a new chapter starting in Sakura's life as she learns how to be a good sensei and clan leader.
