Misaki – sorry, I wasn't able to reply to your review, so I will here. Also, I had to use Google translate on it, so I'm not entirely sure I completely understood everything, so if I did make a mistake, I apologize. I'm only bilingual, and my French is pathetic. Only in my English do I have any confidence.

Ok! So, I think you asked if Sasuke was to be tried, because he shouldn't be. You're right, and he's not. As a missing-nin, a trial is not an option; death is the automatic punishment. However, in my fic, he's being given a choice of an alternative punishment and a chance to redeem himself, mainly because Naruto has been pushing hard for it. But, he isn't exactly sane at this point, and he doesn't like some of the conditions, so he keeps saying "I'd rather die." And, at this point – he might just. (I'm so not giving away my plot!)

You brought up the over-protectiveness of the family, of which I am well aware. It's the weakness being taken advantage of as the first (and so far, only seen) part of the alternative punishment. You asked if the Leaf fails to offer a good candidate, if he'll be allowed someone from another village, such as Gaara. The answer is no; that would defeat the purpose of forcing him to be tied to the Leaf – instead he would be tied to that other village, and just as much a threat to the Leaf as he ever was. So, if he refuses their chosen candidate, he'll be put to death. Though, if it wouldn't mess with the plot so badly, I'd consider Gaara as an option – he'd accept Sasuke if only out of compassion; which would completely annoy Sasuke beyond all belief! (I like seeing him mad, don't you?)

As for your questions about the other tailed beasts and hosts; in my fic, Bee and the eight tails live, everyone else was already dead. Well, except Gaara, but he was resurrected without his beast. So, at the end of the day… they're dead. I'm not big on turning this into a zombie fic, either, so I'm leaving that completely alone. As to who won, well, the bad guys are dead, but so are a lot of the good guys, and in that sort of war… how is there any such a thing as a winner? The people who lived must now pick up the remains of their lives, and try to heal; and the Kages are all now trying to work together to prevent it from happening ever again. I suspect that's going to be much like the U.N. in reality – good in theory, bad in practice. The weakness in politics is that it is made up of human beings and we all fail. Politics just has a lot of people together working on huge and important things, so the failures tend to be a lot more spectacular, and have much greater effect. (Yes, I am a pessimist.)

Umm…. Your last question was if this was going to be a male pregnancy or not. Honestly, I haven't decided yet. I do know that currently the council would love to force Sasuke to have kids – it would give them a bigger safety net, and they are just that self-serving. I also know at this point Sasuke wants to die himself, so it is highly unlikely he'd want to bring anyone else into the world. (Suicidal parent… bad idea.) Naruto hasn't made a choice yet to save Sasuke or let him die, so I doubt he's thinking about any Uchiha babies. (Spoiler : I'm so not letting Sasuke die yet! Maybe later, but not yet.) If I do, I can guarantee it will be complicated, dangerous and angsty. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Sasuke!

As for everything else, (and a lot of this, actually) you'll be seeing it later! Enough spoilers!
