Chapter one: 3 more years

Sasuke chewed on his left index fingernail. He chewed, chanting '3 more years' over and over in his head. Then he thought the name 'Naruto…' and bit down to hard on his finger. Said finger began to bleed.

" Damn it! Not again!" he reached for the medical tape he had bought seven years ago. He could take the small pain, but he didn't want to get in trouble with Sakura. Wrapping his finger with practiced prowess, Sasuke stared at his right hand. Every single finger on it had a small scar. From his chewing.

And Sasuke smiled. Because in three years he would have his Naru-chan back. But this time he wouldn't let him go.

Tsunade walked around the three bedroom apartment, satisfaction written all over her face.

" I'll take it. Arigato, Ebo-san. This place is perfect for my friend." the younger man merely smiled.

Tsunade pulled out her wallet and paid for the apartment.

" Arigato, Hokage-sama, arigato." nodded the young shinobi. This would pay for groceries for his wife. They were expecting. Tsunade nodded and looked around once more. She turned abruptly and left the apartment, one thought on her mind: three more years.

" Okay! We only have three years to get ready for this trip back to Konoha. Are you ready?"

" Hai, Chichi!" said six voices in unison.

" Alright, Renji try to finish that new genjutsu you started, Kaname work on your ninjutsu, Kon work on Rasengan, you're almost there, Ketsuki start the next combination of taijutsu, Kyo work with your katana, you've been focusing to much on your shurikan and senbon, and Suki start healing the pile of ants you're brothers so kindly left for you in the courtyard." a chorus of "Hai!" met Naruto's ears. He smiled.

He had trained his and Sasuke's children well. Now, all he had to do was wait. 'Three more years…'

( Hello again! How is everyone? I know this is weird, but eh, posting two of the chapters {that are actually complete} sounded like fun. Te-he. See ya later, cheerios.;))
