Chapter Two

Naruto entered the office and the first thing he saw was his former best friend, Uchiha Sasuke. His gaze hardened and he looked at Tsunade.

"What's the deal, obaa-san? Why is he here?"

Sasuke leaned back against the wall, well out of reach of Naruto's fist. He had only too much experience with the blond's fighting style and didn't particularly want a fist in the face...or the gut for that matter. Tsunade approached Naruto and said calmly,

"I've granted him clemency for his actions since he did away with both of the wanted Uchihas and Orochimaru."

Naruto crossed his arms and said,

"So he killed off a couple wanted ninjas...that's no reason to accept him back with open arms."

Tsunade looked at Sasuke and saw the hurt on his handsome visage. She really felt for him because she knew that he didn't have to come back to the village if he didn't want to... He also didn't have to accept the marriage proposal, but he did. She looked back at Naruto and said,

"Also, I've told him that in order to stay here, he has to abandon his Uchiha name and adopt a new one...yours."

Naruto gaped and looked from Tsunade to Sasuke and back again.

"That bastard?! Adopt my last name? Are you joking? He'll ruin the good Uzumaki name!"

Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at the blond dobe's antics. Unfortunately, Naruto saw this and said,

"Wipe that smirk off your face, teme! You are not adopting my last name if I have a say in this!"

Tsunade put a hand on his shoulder to stop his advance toward Sasuke and said,

"But you don't. Listen, you two are getting married in two months and you will both move into the Uchiha compound, now christened the Uzumaki compound. You will treat each other with respect," she started. Naruto snorted and interrupted.

"He lost my respect when he tried to kill me, twice!"

Tsunade hit him over the head.

"Don't interrupt kuso gaki!"

Naruto rubbed the sore spot on his head but didn't say anything further. He shot a heated glance at Sasuke and received a pained look in response. This softened Naruto's anger a little, but not completely.

"You'll treat each other with respect...or at least whatever it was called when you two were friends before...and go about your business like the married couple you will soon be."

Sasuke closed his eyes and folded his arms in front of him. Naruto saw this nonchalant behavior and thought to himself, 'Yep. Still the same old teme.'

"Now, as for his missions...Sasuke will only be given D-rank missions for a year and at the end of that year, he will undergo the Chuunin exam along with you, Naruto. He will not be allowed out of the village on any type missions until he's attained Chuunin rank and has proved his continued loyalty to Konoha."

Naruto nodded his confirmation and said,

"All right then. If I have to marry him, then I will. Just don't expect us to have sex or anything."

Tsunade shuddered at the thought and said,

"Just move your things into the compound, Naruto. You two are dismissed."

They left the office, Sasuke staying behind Naruto a little, still staying an arm's length away. If all went according to Tsunade's plan, then Team 7 will be up and running again in no time.

Okay, that's another chapter done. I know it's short, but I'm running low on creative juices and need to refuel. Just asking this, but should I raise the rating and put a lemon in the story? Tell me what you think I should do in your review.

Lots of love,
