Chapter 2
It was 8am when the Tsunade's door was knocked on. She had stayed all night signing papers and worrying about her favorite group of Kunoichi.
"BAA-CHAN" Naruto barged in after she ignored the knocks. Behind him walked in his best friends Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru.
"What do you want brat?" She said with a lot more anger than she had before. She loved these guys as well but she also knew the real reason why the Kunoichi left and she knew that there might even be a chance that they manage to stay away, even though they told her they wouldn't.
"Where's Hinata-chan? She was suppose to meet me for breakfast this morning" Naruto accused glaring at the old blonde woman.
"And Sakura, she didn't come home last night" Sasuke said, his voice calmed but his eyes showed anger.
"Ino was suppose to have dinner with me last night and didn't show" Shikamaru said lazily but unlike the others, his eyes showed worried.
"Tenten didn't come to training this morning" Neji lastly added. "She always the first one there and today she is nowhere to be found"
"Neither of them are" Sasuke added.
"Because I sent them on a last minute mission" She mostly lied. She had plan this so called "Mission" with Tenten for months and then she added the other three minutes before they left.
"WHAT?!" Naruto yelled expressing everyone's state of shock. "LAST MINUTE MISSION! How could you do that to us Baa-chan! I didn't even say good bye to Hinata" Naruto whined and although the other stayed quiet Tsunade watched as their expression changed from angry to match Shikamaru's worried one.
"How long will they be gone?" Neji asked.
"A year" She answered.
"That's a long time for a last minutes mission" Shikamaru said, eyeing the Hokage.
"Well it was" Tsunade yelled.
There was a moment a silence between the males before Shikamaru broke it.
"Did Ino take her Tea's? She can't sleep without them?" Shikamaru suddenly asked taking Tsunade by surprise.
"And did Tenten take her medicine?" Neji asked. "And Sakura" Sasuke added.
"What about Hinata, did she take her baking stuff" Naruto asked. "She always more comfortable when she cooks"
Tsunade stared at the men in front of her and felt her heart quicken. "You guys really love those girls, huh?"
"Of course we do Baa-chan" Naruto asked, his eyes filled with hurt. "Why would you even ask that?"
Tsunade open her mouth and closed it back again. "No reason, you idiots" she said shaking her head.
"Hokage-sama… please answer our questions… if they don't have those we can take them to them" Neij stepped at front and pleaded.
"Send us with them Hokage-sama" Sasuke also pleaded.
"Sorry boys… I can't" She said as looked down at her desk full of papers. "The mission is classified"
"But…"
"I said I was sorry… Now leave. I have paper work to finish" She said angrily and sat back down and resumed to sign papers. The four boys looked at each other before bowing their goodbyes and leave the office.
Once they were outside they stood in a circle looking at each other confuse and worried.
"One year… sounds like a long time" Naruto said in sad tone. "I can't be away from Hinata that long"
"This seems strange" Shikamaru suddenly said.
"What's on your mind Nara?" Sasuke asked.
"This mission… it seem so sudden" He said mostly to himself.
"Speak you mind Nara" Neji order.
"Yeah Shikamaru. What's all the mumbling about?" Naruto asked.
"5 months missions take upon days to organize. One year missions take months to plan" He said, looking at his friends.
"What are you saying?" Naruto asked.
"I don't think they're on a mission" Shikamaru said. "I think they left"
/Time Skip/
5 years later
Once again Autumn sprung itself onto the 4 Kunoichi. 24 now they were pretty content with their life. They were far away from Konoha, with their children, far away from what once cause them heartache.
On this faithful day, just like the day they had decided to leave Konoha. A lot has happened since then. They moved to their recent home, in a small village in the rain village. They had resign as ninja's three years after that when Tsunade asked them to come back.
It was meant to happen they told themselves, never had they expect to come back really, they just stayed Konoha ninja's to gain protection until they were in safe place.
Still so, they never let their abilities weaken, they trained every day because that was the life they were use to.
Also they have given birth. Hinata gave birth to a beautiful blonde girl with pale blue eyes. She named her Nurico Uzumaki. Sakura had a handsome black hair boy with Jade green eyes. She named him Obito Uchiha, because in a way she felt like he looked like Obito, her sensei's best friend and late evil master mind. Tenten had a boy as well, he had short brown hair and white eyes. She named him Yodamaru. Ino had twins (Ino: Curse you! Why couldn't his sperm be lazy as well?!) one boy and one girl. The boy had blond hair and blue eyes while his sister had brown hair and brown eyes. She named them Inomaru and Shikara.
Flash Back
It had been 8 months exactly since they left Konoha. They had found this small village far away where the people were nice and the village wasn't under attack every 5 seconds.
There they found a doctor that helped them through their pregnant months, even warning them that being so much time together could cause for them to go in labor all at the same time but since the suggestion seemed ridiculous and they only knew one and other, they ignored that particular warning.
And so on September 27, they all went into labor together.
"Seriously Ino, who names their kid Shikara?" Sakura asked as they all laid one beside the other on their hospita bed's. It had been only hours since they gave birth to their kids.
"Inomaru is a cute name but Shikara" Tenten said worriedly.
"It's like you asking her to hate you" Sakura said as she waved her hands in the air.
"Look guys… this are mine and Shikamaru's kids. It is a tradition to name our children with those names because we are the Ino-Shika-Cho formations. It's a thing we have between our families and it is a blessing I had two of them!" Ino said angrily as her eyes started to water. "I know I might not see him or Choji again but I will keep this tradition going" Ino said firmly.
The three girls looked at each other and then back at Ino and said nothing else.
"And beside look who's talking?" Yelled Ino. "Who names their child after a evil man that tried to kill us all?"
"If you must know… even though Obito Uchiha was bad man, he wasn't always. In fact he just go blinded by losing his love" Sakura explained as a matter of factly. "He wasn't always that man we knew"
"Whatever Sakura" Ino rolled her eyes and face the other way, avoiding her best friends eyes, Sakura did the same.
Tenten and Hinata looked at each other and shook their heads, not even because they were mother now did they stop bickering with each other.
"Ummm guys… I got a confession" Hinata small timid voice broke the silence getting the girls attention.
"What is Hinata?" Tenten asked.
"I put Naruto's name on Nurico's" Hinata confessed as she looked down at her hands. "I named her Nurico Uzumaki"
The girls were silent for a moment until Ino sigh. "I named my kids Shikara and Inomaru Nara"
"Yodamaru Hyuga" Tenten said.
"Obito Uchiha" Sakura sigh.
The girls looked at each other with sad eyes and realized that they were hard to shake off.
"We can't hide forever you know" Sakura suddenly said. "Someday they will find us and if they don't the kids are going to want to meet their fathers… Their meeting can't be helped" Sakura said in sad tone.
"We know" Said Tenten. "But we'll just wait for that moment to come by itself"
The girls looked at each and nodded in agreement.
End Of Flash back
Since that day the girls did everything together, it was like that promise bounded them for life and each day they waited for the moment they dread so much to come hoping each year to another year to come without it. Too bad their years of hiding were almost over.
