One week has passed
IN TSUNADE'S OFFICE
"Come in, Sasuke and have a seat."
Sasuke enters Tsunade's office and sits down on the chair she indicated.
"I invited you into my office to talk about Sakura's and the baby's condition."
"Is there something wrong?" (Sasuke panicked)
"No, I just want to talk to you about the results I just got today. Yesterday, I took a blood sample from Sakura to examine if there are any changes and apparently 75% of her blood has turned into Uchiha blood which means that her body is accepting it."
Sasuke sighs out of relief "So, she will wake up soon?"
"That depends on Sakura but seeing this progress, it won't take two weeks." Tsunade smiles
"And how about the baby?"
"The baby is fine. She didn't suffer from this. Sakura keeps her safe, now we only have to wait for Sakura to accept your blood completely and wake up."
"Hn. I do have a question about the blood transformation. Will my blood change anything in her body?"
"Well, we would have to…"
KNOCK KNOCK
"Yes."
"I'm sorry for interrupting, Tsunade but the Sixth Hokage wants to see you immediately."
"Ok, Shikamaru. Sasuke we will talk about this subject later, but at this moment I really don't know. Besides, keep doing what you have been doing the past month because her progress is remarkable."
IN THE HOKAGE'S OFFICE
"Kakashi, why do you need me right now?"
"Tsunade, members of the ANBU have informed me this morning that they have seen Orochimaru and Kabuto in one of our nearby villages."
"What is that snaky bastard doing in the Land of Fire…"
"That is what I am wondering about too. Do you have any idea?"
"At the end of the war, he decided to live in one of his hideouts with Kabuto but I don't know what he has done the past 2 years. Since he is in one of our nearby villages, I suppose he is coming back to Konoha."
"Well, I don't trust him. Even though he helped during the war, I think we should be careful and take measures. Just in case. He always haunted Sasuke down, in search of his sharingan. I don't know if he knows about Sakura's condition, but if he knows that Sasuke is vulnerable, he might resurrect the idea to collect the sharingan."
"I understand your way of thinking. So what do you want to do?"
"First, I want to keep this between us. If more people know about Orochimaru's nearby presence, the whole village would panic. Second, I want you to check in on Sakura every hour. She is pregnant and in a coma so I don't want any strange person nearby her. Third, I will ask Naruto to spend more time with Sasuke. We need to protect the Uchiha family no matter what."
"You are right, Kakashi. But Sasuke is intelligent, so wouldn't he notice these measures?"
"If I asked other people than Naruto and you, than he would have noticed. Since you are Sakura's doctor, he trusts you. Besides, Naruto is worried about Sasuke's health so, as a friend, he will take care of him."
