Uchiha Sasuke. The supposedly sole survivor of the Uchiha clan. He came back to Konoha a year ago saying he wanted to start over and regain broken relationships with people back here. Of course, he was talking about us—Naruto and I. That's when I thought, he must have come to his senses about how horrible it would be to focus your life only on getting revenge. Unfortunately, I found out that he has successfully that bastard brother of his. So now he's back here. Repenting for his sin, as he calls it. Of course, Naruto, as a newly elected Hokage, had to take careful measures knowing that Sasuke was once a threat to Konoha.
"He needs to be given a punishment before he is truly accepted in Konoha." The elders—the ones who usually give advice and suggestions on the things the Hokage will decide—cautiously advised Naruto.
Naruto, who was confused and unadjusted to his new job, had to appoint Sasuke as his personal assistant. Like how Shizune was to the late master Tsunade. Everybody was shocked, furious and most of all, perplexed. At first people didn't want to believe in him as their Hokage, seeing as this was still new to his job and not everybody knew him that well yet. But in the end, Naruto proved the townspeople and yes, even the elders, wrong.
"I believe Sasuke." He once said in an important gathering with the elders, leaders and head jounins. I can still remember the smile on his face that day. It was beaming so much energy. He truly did believe Sasuke—the only best friend he's ever had and the first person he has deeply trusted.
It's a good thing that Sasuke has been a great help to Naruto—assisting him day and night with all his needs. Yes, even preparing tea for him every now and then. Naturally, since I am Naruto's wife, he's been trying to reach out and help too. Although the bad thing is, he's doing it in our house—the place wherein Naruto and I share our privacy. It disturbs me to know that Sasuke might just pop out of nowhere when Naruto and I play some confidential games. Yes, I mean that particular game.
It's feels weird to know that Sasuke lives in the same building as us. He lives on the rooftop part of the house. He has his own bed, furniture and a little kitchen that Naruto provided when Sasuke first moved in. Naruto and I live on the second floor of the building, beside his office—so he can easily access it whenever he needs to.
Naruto and I got married two years ago. I was still a medical ninja who works for Master Tsunade then—high, cheerful and free-spirited. Everytime I would get day offs I'd instinctively go to Naruto's house and we would talk, laugh, play videogames, watch TV and even eat ramen together. He was the only friend I could come to before. Everybody was busy doing their jobs. Ino became a permanent apprentice of Shizune and were training in the mountains. Shikamaru and Chouji became jounins and they were busy handling the Chuunin exams. Hinata, Ten Ten, Lee, Neji, Kiba and the others were usually sent away on missions. That's why Naruto's the only one left in the village I can hang out with. Fortunately for him, well…I fell in love with him. And so I told him when we were drinking alcohol one time. I knew he had a little crush for me ever since but I was shocked to hear that he felt the same way I did. And so we hooked up. We would have dates, hold each others' hands and make-out on Naruto's rooftop until morning.
It lasted for a year. Until he finally proposed to me. I still remember the exact words he said.
"Sakura, I cannot imagine life without you. I want to love you forever. Please, will you marry this idiot?"
I found it really corny and funny, although I didn't understand why I cried so much that day. With the memory of that blonde dimwit handing out a beautiful Sapphire ring on a starry, black night on his rooftop and saying really cheesy words to make him marry me.
"YES!" I exclaimed happily, embracing him and smiling uncontrollably like it was the best thing that happened in my life. Apparently it was.
That was the first night we slept together.
We woke up with our arms tightly wrapped up around each other and finding out about the unexpected arrival of the infamous Uchiha Sasuke that morning.
