It was a week later, with no missions forthcoming and simply training with Tsunade even more that Sakura decided to sit down with the entire family and broach the topic of relocating to a much bigger house, hopefully Chojuro had remembered to ask them about it.

"What's up Sakura-chan" Naruto asked, holding Ganko because for once the little blonde didn't want to stay close to his mother, that week mission had given him and Tsuyoi separation anxiety and it really broke her heart on that.

Sakura bit her lip and looked to Chojuro, who nodded, Kakashi and Mei caught the look, but Sasuke remained oblivious "Don't tell us your going on another mission" the Uchiha groaned eyeing his twin nephew and niece.

And while she really wanted to laugh at that she didn't "Nope, Chojuro-kun mentioned this to you, but I think it's time we found a bigger house to accommodate us all" Sakura leaned back cuddling into the eighteen year old swordsman's side.

"R..right s..soon we'll have a n..new baby to worry about, not to mention w..we have to make sure that the little ones are safe in their environment" Chojuro explained eyeing the four babies, three of them playing in their playpen.

Not surprised that the topic was just now coming up "I think Sakura is right, we are getting crowded in here, plus when we started this was only just to be a temporary solution" Kakashi mused trying not to sound mean, though it didn't upset the pinkette in the least.

Even Mei had something to say "Why not individual apartments then, that are on the same floor, giving each of us our own spaces but allowing us to visit each other at the same time" the auburn haired woman suggested.

The older blonde in the house popped up "That's a great idea you know, two to an apartment unless you have babies" Naruto exclaimed bouncing Ganko on his knee, the little boy having the time of his life trying to stay on and laughing at the same time.

"I'll share with Naruto, someone has to keep him out of trouble and make sure the place stays clean" Sasuke shrugged just accepting the idea like it was no big deal and Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this had been easier than thought.

Chojuro smiled and wrapped his arm around Sakura rubbing her arm reassuringly "Hope you don't mind sticking with me" she smiled up at him, the others falling silent for a moment to give them a little bit of privacy.

He nodded "Anywhere you go S..Sakura-chan I'..I'll be right behind" Chojuro vowed their eyes locked until Kakashi cleared his throat lightly, while he was happy Sakura was happy with the swordsman, he still didn't want to see them do that in front of him.

And to get the attention off of that little moment "So when do you think we should start looking for apartments" the silver haired nin inquired, he had the day off, but he didn't know if the others did as well, which wouldn't be nearly as fun.

"Why not now, I don't think anyone is to busy right Naruto, Sasuke, Chojuro, Sakura" Mei smiled kindly at the four teenagers, the latter duo being the oldest while the former duo were still only fifteen as their birthday's hadn't come around yet.

They all shook their heads and after each grabbing up a toddler, Sakura swiping Ganko from Naruto despite the blonde pouting and Tsuyoi being picked up by Chojuro to Sasuke's chagrin, while Kakashi and Mei carried their own twins, Hisoi and Hosomi, they all set out.

In search of apartment buildings only twenty minutes into their trek "Ooh what about those aren't the nice Sakura-chan, I bet we'd be able to fit everyone in one of those you know" Naruto oohed and awed over the building.

Sasuke rubbed his forehead "No harm in checking it out right Sakura" he turned his head to spy his adopted sister at the back of their group, lost in her own world with Chojuro and her twins, he smiled at the sight of them, before nudging her gently in the side.

"Right" she blinked "Let's go see what they are like" Sakura nodded shaking her head free of the cobwebs glad that the Uchiha hadn't made fun of her for being oblivious to what he had said as they all headed in to check the building out.

Once in, it only took the lot of them to realize this was not the place for them, inside was like a dingy bar, the apartments were practically falling apart at the seams, so just as quickly as they started, they left that building.

The amount of time they spent in there was ten minutes total and when they were outside again, the swordsman in their midst shuddered "Th..that was horrible, I'..I'm never judging a building by how nice it looks outside of it a..again" Chojuro cringed.

Kakashi and Mei shared an amused smile, while pointing out various things to Hisoi and Hosomi as the two fraternal twins were growing bored, eight minutes later and after checking out their second building the group of them found their third apartment building.

"Let us hope this one is much more promising" Mei sighed looking up at the building as they all went in, just five minutes in and she was looking much more interested as they were let on to the fifth floor which had many open apartments.

Their guide was a gentle person as he pointed at two doors "On our left we have the only six and five bedroom apartments, while on our right, we have one three bedroom apartment, the rent is only 2,000 ryo a month 24,000 for a whole year, that includes utilities" he explained.

Much more than each of them could have ever hoped for and so Kakashi took the initiative sure that the decision would be unanimous on these particular apartments "We'll take them, all three of the apartments" the silver haired nin stated.

Sakura nodded followed by Naruto, Sasuke, Chojuro and Mei "Exactly the three bedroom apartment will be filled by those two, the five bedroom for me and Chojuro, and the six for Mom and Dad" she ticked off her fingers.

Eager to do business with shinobi, the papers and leases were quickly signed and the six of them, minus the four children quickly became the proud new owners of an apartment, which was then followed by packing all their belongings and moving them to their new homes.

All which took over two weeks to pack and then unpack and settle in, it was hours after they'd unpacked the last scroll that Sakura flopped down on her couch "Can't believe we really have our own place Chojuro-kun" she smiled at the pale blue haired teen.

"I ne..never th..thought it would be possible either, but at least the others a..are on the same floor as us and w..we don't have to go far to talk to them" Chojuro relaxed in his chair, glad that he had been able to keep it.

Of course they'd also sold the old Haruno house and visited Kizashi and Mebuki's graves to let them know what was going on it had become a bi-weekly arrangement to visit the two Haruno's and tend to their headstones.

She giggled "Yeah…ooh that's Tsuyoi-chan" the pinkette hopped up rushing to the two year old girls side, where she was settled into her new nursery with her brother, the blonde was sitting up looking around but Tsuyoi looked unsettled.

But at the sight of her mother the tiny dark pink haired blue eyed girl reached for Sakura "There, there my sweet Tsuyoi-chan, everything's okay see not so scary" she soothed knowing that Tsuyoi was feeling very confused in her new surroundings.

So in order to help the two toddlers become accustomed she scooped her two children into her arms and carried them around going through each room slowly and pointing familiar things out, even if it was a different building.

The two children settled eight minutes later upon seeing their play pen "Looks like they won't be going back to sleep" Chojuro chuckled as the twins reached for their playpen signaling they wanted to play and left with no choice, she placed them down.

Childish laughter filling the air moments later as the two siblings played "Right at least they got use to their new surroundings pretty quickly, I should write that in the diary" Sakura nodded disappearing to her new bedroom and rummaging around in her pack for the newest diary.

-Diary Entry 503-

(Today we finally settled into our new home a five bedroom apartment, it wasn't long after unpacking that Tsuyoi-chan and Ganko-kun woke and became confused of their new surroundings, Tsuyoi-chan let out a cry.

In order to get them use to their new home I took the twins around on a tour of the apartment and pointed out familiar things, it only took eight minutes before they settled and got comfortable enough here in the apartment.

Pretty sure though that seeing their playpen and toys helped them quite a bit on that front, anyways, I'm sure that's not the last thing that's going to happen today and I'll be writing down a lot more later, farewell for now)

She ended the diary entry not wanting to write to much considering that the twins still had a lot of growing up to do and if she had to buy another diary so soon she was going to only buy a diary and write down the important things.

With that Sakura put what felt like her millionth diary away in the bedside table drawer, grabbed her camera out of it and went into the living room to get a pic of her adorable children playing with their toys in the playpen, in their new home.

"Smile for the camera Ts..Tsuyoi-chan, Ganko-kun" the only one they knew as their father piped in and the twins looked up toys in their hands and smiled as wide as they could just as their mother pressed the button after remembering to turn off the flash.

The sixteen year old disappeared back into her room for another five minutes, took the developed picture and taped it into the scrapbook, before scribbling something underneath of it, before returning "This is nice" the teenager flopped down on the couch intending on resting for a while.

A few minutes later her boyfriend joined her, lifting her head up to place it on his lap and running his fingers through her hair "What about the other tiny humans, don't you usually take pictures of them as well" Hageshi piped in from the corner of the room, in his bed.

Jade eyes shot in the basset hounds direction "Maybe later Hageshi-kun if Mom and Dad come over for dinner with Hisoi-kun and Hisomi-chan" Sakura said after a few minutes, she didn't really have to take a picture of the four children every single day, but she did.

Because she wanted to remember their childhood for the rest of time and share with them what she had to go through when they'd been children "Not to mention Naruto and Sasuke" Chojuro announced, those two boys wouldn't miss their adoptive sister's food no matter where they lived.

In fact both Sakura and Chojuro were expecting their presence in the next couple of hours or so "I'm never leaving my children behind again, that was pure agony on that solo mission" the pinkette admitted suddenly.

Hageshi tilted his head to the side red eyes narrowed in thought "Does that mean Sakura-chan that we'll be going along on your next mission" the albino ninken looked as excited as she'd ever seen him and the others lifted their heads with hopeful looks in their eyes as well.

"Of course and myself as well, I have a duty to Sakura-chan as w..well" the blue haired teen interjected, glancing to the children he'd been helping raise from the moment they were born, he wouldn't leave his girlfriend to watch after them on her own.

Not more than an hour later a loud knock came on the door drawing Ganko and Tsuyoi's attention, they both struggled to their feet to peer out through the vertical bars of their playpen, it was adorable and they watched them mother go answer the door.

To reveal their uncles "Naru, Sasu" both twins exclaimed in excitement reaching for the two teenage males and were promptly scooped up and hugged before being pulled back so they could see more than just black or orange in Tsuyoi's case.

"And a hello to you to my cute little niece" Naruto tickled the little dark pink haired, dark blue eyed girl on the tummy gently causing the girl to let out squeals of laughter and try to squirm away from her Uncles hand.

She wasn't really trying to get away as she enjoyed the attention and off to the side her brother was getting the same attention "We were wondering if you'd mind us having dinner with you" Sasuke asked once Ganko got tired of being tickled.

"Was kind of expecting that and of course Sasuke, Naruto, you two are always welcome no matter if you have your own apartment or not" Sakura nodded enveloping her adoptive brothers in bone crushing hugs after they'd set the twins down to their frustration and started pouting.

Off to the side her boyfriend nodded "Mizukage-sama and Kakashi-san might join us as well, but we're still waiting to see on that front" Chojuro scooped Ganko and Tsuyoi up, one in each arm and spun very carefully while talking to keep them entertained.

"No need, we're here and look we brought Hisoi and Hosomi" Mei's voice called from the still open doorway, her fraternal twins perched in her arms and peering around with wide onyx and green eyes as they saw their once again new surroundings.

It was adorable, Chojuro placed Ganko and Tsuyoi back in their playpen, this time they were joined by their littlest aunt and uncle to play some more "So long as it's alright with you Sakura-chan" Kakashi scratched at his cloth covered cheek.

Sakura lifted a pink brown before a smile curved her lips upwards "Of course Dad, you, Mom, Naruto and Sasuke are always welcome to join us for dinner, that's why we got apartments on the same floor to visit each other without having to go to far right" the pinkette nodded.

Mei's green eyes softened "And Ao-san wh..whenever he's here on business" the pale blue haired teenager included the hunter nin, who was missing from their group, someday they'd have to talk over dual citizenship between Leaf and Mist, but not right now.

Sasuke and Naruto shared a small smile enjoying the usual antics of their family, adopted sure, but they were happy nonetheless "What exactly are we having anyway" the blonde tried to sniff the air to see if he could determine what was for dinner, but couldn't smell anything.

His adopted brother rolled his eyes and snorted "Naruto, Sakura hasn't even started dinner yet" the raven haired teen scuffed the boy over the back of the head gently out of sight of the quartet of little ones that were a little preoccupied at the moment.

"Do you need any help Sakura-chan" the auburn haired woman offered her adopted daughter help in the kitchen, jade eyes lit up and the two females disappeared into the kitchen, leaving the males and the seven ninja hounds to watch over the children in the family.

Kakashi plopped down "I still can't believe Mei is pregnant again" the silver haired nin sighed, it had been a shocker considering they hadn't planned to have another child, and he'd thought she'd been taking the birth control medicine, she had as she'd told him, but she'd still ended up pregnant.

None of his adopted children were sympathetic of him and the blue haired teenager wisely didn't speak up not wanting to start any arguments about how he should have been more careful, he didn't want to turn into Ao after all.

Who'd really taken to being Tsuyoi and Ganko's Godfather and honorary Uncle to Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, Hisoi and Hosomi, nearly forty minutes later the two females called everyone into the kitchen, Kakashi and Chojuro grabbed the children and they all sat down to eat supper.

Which was delicious as always "What is this Sakura-chan" Chojuro was the first one to ask as he'd never tasted anything quite like the meal he was currently eating, of course it had been a long time since he'd had it.

"Mist Village Cuisine, Mom gave me a recipe book from Mist, said you'd appreciate it" Sakura admitted sheepishly hoping that he did indeed like it, Chojuro let his gaze wander back down to his plate before gracing her with a tender smile that had her cheeks turning red.

The twins clapped their hands together and let out giggles and the two teenage parents turned to feed Ganko and Tsuyoi "Regardless of where it came from this is delicious, isn't that right" Naruto nudged his adopted brother in the side.

Getting the feeling his adopted sister really enjoyed the food that had been made herself "Exactly and we'd be happy to eat it anytime you make it" Sasuke nodded followed by scooping a large bite onto his fork and eating it.

The Mizukage giggled lightly "It's kind of my fault actually, the little one in my womb wanted food from their dual village" Mei smiled sheepishly and cradled her stomach, which was now only starting to show that she was indeed pregnant again.

Her husband turned "Then don't hesitate to ask me to cook should you want it again Mei-chan" Kakashi offered wanting to make things easier for the woman he'd married and produced three children with, even if one was still unborn.

Mei blushed and the six of them settled down to enjoy the rest of their dinner, and intermittently feeding the little ones seated around the table in their high chairs, before all the food had been eaten and the dishes were washed by the three younger males considering Sakura and Mei had cooked.

It was an unspoken rule after all that cook should never have to do dishes and the two females were all for them doing the dishes as they took the four children back into the living room to play for a little while longer.

Eventually Sasuke and Naruto left an hour later after sitting and chatting about with the others in their family, and an hour after that, Kakashi, Mei and their two fraternal twins left, because Hisoi and Hosomi were tired.

And twenty minutes after the departure of the rest of her family, Sakura and Chojuro put Tsuyoi and Ganko in their dual crib for bed time, before taking showers and dressing for bed themselves, after bidding each other goodnight crawled into their beds in their new rooms and went to sleep.
