"So let me get this straight." Minato says after a long explanation. "You are from the future where only six of you are left due to a war started by my former student and said former student was behind the attack the night you were born. You had a daughter who was murdered by your teammate Sasuke; Mikoto's son. Who left to join Orochimaru. Who gave him the Curse Mark. Also Orochimaru has two Uzumaki under his control and you were Hokage in the future and you ordered the remaining members not to use the jutsu that brought you back. Yet they disobeyed you and piggy-backed on your jutsu and the last two did the same for the ones' that went after you."

"That about sums it up, yea." Naruto says nodding his head.

"I'm so sorry you two." Mikoto says with tears in her eyes.

"It's not your fault Mikoto. It's Fugaku's since he pulled you in-front of the blade that killed you." Naruto says.

"We need Itachi back here. So we need Sasuke to understand why Itachi killed everyone. He needs to know what Fugaku was planning and that Itachi was never ordered by the Hokage but the elders. Itachi is a hero for protecting us from civil war and more deaths, since we would have been weakened and other Villages would have attacked and wiped the Hidden Leaf Village off the face of the map." Sakura says.

"Well I think that we should end this so that we can be back with our families in time for supper." Sarutobi says.

"I think that's a good idea since we have to do this again tomorrow for Pervy-sage." Naruto says. "More people know than what I'm comfortable with, but I suppose that it's necessary I guess."

"Pervy-sage?" Minato asks. "Do you mean Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Yea. The first time I met him was when he was peeping on women in the hot springs and he called himself the Toad-sage. So I told him it was more like Pervy-sage and the name stuck ever since."

"That is a perfect nickname for him." Kushina says laughing.

"Well I should be going. Bye Naruto" Sakura says and kisses Naruto's cheek. "Love you." Sakura says which get's an 'Awww' from Mikoto and Kushina making the duo blush and Sakura leaves in a swirl of water.

"You do look good together." Mikoto says and then disappears in a swirl of leaves as does Sarutobi.

"Naruto I'm sorry if this is painful, but what was Haruka like." Kushina asks.

"She was amazing. She had your hair color and her mother's eyes and face. She had my taste for adventure." Naruto says and starts to get a little teary. "She couldn't wait to start the Academy. Only 3 years old and wants to be a ninja. Excuse me wanted to be a ninja. I'm just glad people saw me as a hero otherwise she would have been treated the same as me if not worse."

"I'm so sorry son for the life you had." Minato says. "I still can't believe that you punched me." He says with a small chuckle.

Naruto wipes the tears out of his eyes. "Well I was pissed at you for the life that I had. After we talked I forgave you though. When I talked to Mom she laughed when I told her that. I'm still surprised that I went from Genin to Hokage. That's exactly what I told Ibiki during the first phase of the Chunin exams. He told us that if we failed to get the 10th question right we would remain Genin forever. That's when I stood up and slammed my hand on the desk and told him to give us the question and even if I got it wrong I would still become Hokage no matter what, believe it."

"Well I'm very proud of you Naruto." Kushina says smiling. "I'm glad we get to see you again and live our lives like we were meant to. Even if we don't get to raise you from a little baby and watch you grow into the man that you were or will be." Kushina smiles.

"So am I." Naruto says with a smile.

With Sakura:

"Mom, Dad I'm home." Sakura says and Mebuki and Kizashi come down the stairs smiling. (Not because of that you perverts)

"Hey Sakura, how did your test go?" Kizashi asks.

"Well we passed, but barely." Sakura says sitting down.

"What do you mean sweetie?" Mebuki asks sitting on one side of Sakura and Kizashi sitting on the other.

"Well when we started the test we all disappeared from view and when Naruto and I tried to get Sasuke to work with us. He told us to leave him alone and that we would only slow him down." Sakura says. "So Naruto and I went to go get the bells ourselves and we got them by working together and Sasuke was tied to the post. Well when he tried to get himself loose Naruto used something called Chakra Chains. He said that is was a kekkei-genkai from his clan. So then Kakashi-sensei told us not to feed Sasuke, but we did since we would be given a chance to try and get the bells again using teamwork. When we tried to give him food sensei appeared and told us that we passed."

"Well at least you passed. Now where would like to go for supper to celebrate becoming a Genin?" Mebuki asks.

"Can we have sushi?" Sakura asks.

"Whatever you want Sakura this is your night." Kizashi says and the Haruno family head to the Sushi restaurant.

At the Uchiha Compound:

Mikoto was walking down the streets of the baron compound. She could still hear the sounds of children laughing and the sounds of screaming as Itachi killed everyone. She arrives at the main house where they lived and more memories flood her mind. "Sasuke are you here?" She asks and Sasuke jumps out with a kunai in hand.

"Who the hell are you?" Sasuke asks. "Drop the transformation you sick freak."

"Sasuke Uchiha do not speak to your mother that way." Mikoto scolds activating her Sharingan.

"No. I saw you. Itachi...he killed you and father. I saw him. He showed me with his Mangekyo." Sasuke says trying his hardest not to cry but failing miserably. "I need to kill him to avenge everyone." Sasuke says and the kunai drops to the ground with a dull thud. Sasuke makes the 'Ram' hand seal. "Release, release. RELEASE!" Sasuke yells trying to dispel a Genjutsu.

"I'm real Sasuke, this is not a Genjutsu." Mikoto says. "Certain things happened that I can't tell you about, brought me back along with Naruto's parents and I'm guessing Itachi didn't show you what really happened that night. I also don't know why he showed you what supposedly happened. I have been given permission by the Hokage to tell you some of what really happened that night. Not all of it since you are still fragile and could break. Now before I do you have to promise me that you will not interrupt or I will stop. So...do you promise me?" Mikoto asks and Sasuke nods his head. "Okay let's go sit down on the couch." Mikoto says and they both move to the living room and sit down on the couch. "Okay then, Itachi was ordered to attack by certain people, but not the Hokage. Itachi thought he was only following orders. He was ordered because your father and the rest of the Uchiha Council were planning a Coup de'tat against the Hokage and the village. If your father and the council got their way they would've started a civil war. Which would've weakened the village and lead to a full scale war against the Leaf and we would've been destroyed. When Itachi got here he charged at your father. Only before Itachi got near him your father pulled me in-front of him. Itachi tried to move his sword to miss me, but it was already too close and he killed me. Before I died I saw anger flash in your brother's eyes." Mikoto starts to cry and so does Sasuke. "If you want to hate someone hate your father for what he did not Itachi. If your father wasn't so hell bent on power we would still be alive and a family. No matter what you think Itachi is, he is a hero for what he did."

"So Itachi was protecting the Leaf by killing father and everyone else?" Sasuke asks and Mikoto nods her head. "Who are the loser's parents. I thought that he was just some stupid orphan that no one cared about."

"You will not talk about my friends son that way." Mikoto scolds. "They did care about Naruto but they were taken away from him the when the Nine-Tails attacked. The reason that everyone hated Naruto was because he was born the same night of the attack. They saw him as the demon incarnate. I just saw my friends in all of the pranks he did and his attitude." Mikoto explains. "As for who they are I'm not allowed to tell you that by the Hokage's order and no one can no that I'm back or Naruto's parents. Not yet anyway since it would cause havoc and this needs to be done in a controlled manner. Do you understand? I'm not saying you can't talk to Naruto and Sakura since they were there when we came back. I suppose your sensei can know as well." Mikoto says. "Since he will be from the future in the morning anyway." Mikoto adds to herself.

View of all three families a few hours later:

"Night Mom, night Dad." Sakura says from her room.

"Night Sakura." Her parents say as they lock up the house.

"Goodnight, Sasuke." Mikoto says closes the door.

"Mother?" Sasuke says.

"Yea Sasuke?" Mikoto asks as she opens his door again.

"Are you sure this is real and not a dream?" Sasuke asks.

"I'll tell you what Sasuke. How about this I'll sleep in here tonight so that way when you wake up in the morning you will know that I'm back okay?" Mikoto asks and Sasuke nods his head.

"Night Mom, night Dad." Naruto says hugging them and has tears in his eyes. "I have always wanted to say that. I love you both so much."

"We love you too Naruto." Kushina says and kisses his head. "Goodnight Naruto."

"Goodnight son." Minato says and they let go of each-other and head to their rooms for the night.

Next Morning Normal P.O.V:

When Kushina and Minato go to Naruto's room they notice that he isn't there. They look throughout the entire house, but still can't find him. "Minato where is he?" Kushina asks with panic in her voice. They then hear something coming from behind a closed door. "I guess we found him." Kushina says and goes to open the door only to have Minato stop her.

"Do you remember what room that was supposed to be?" Minato asks.

"Yea that was gonna be the nur...oh right." Kushina realizes that Naruto was in the nursery. "Minato there has to be something that we can do."

"I don't think that there is anything we can do Kushina." Minato says as they make there way to the kitchen. "He and Sakura have been through something that no parent should that was caused by their own teammate no less, just for fun and to hurt them. Also remember it has only been a few years for them and being back here probably dug up all those memories. You know seeing her running around the Compound or feeding her at the table, laughing at the sounds she'd make. Healing takes time." He says and they start to make breakfast.

A few minutes later Naruto comes down and there is a knock on the door. Minato goes to answer the door as Naruto sits at the table. "Little Kakashi is that you?" Minato asks as he opens the door.

"Sensei?" Kakashi asks. "How are you alive? Wait did..."

"Kakashi-sensei what are you doing here?" Sakura asks as she comes up to the door.

"Why don't we take this inside you two." Minato says leading the way.

"Okay first why are you here Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asks.

"Isn't it obvious Sakura." Naruto says looking at Kakashi. "This isn't the Kakashi from this time-line. Am I right?"

"As always Lord Hokage." Kakashi says rubbing the back of his head. "I see that you perfected that jutsu."

"Yea I also brought back Mikoto Uchiha so that chances of Sasuke defecting are slimmer." Naruto says.

"Hold on a minute." Minato says stopping all conversation. "This Kakashi is your Kakashi from 15 years in the Future?"

"Yea." Naruto says casually

"Okay then I'm just gonna go over here." Minato says going back to the stove.

"So Kakashi I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Shika and Ino." Naruto says. "What's done is done. I'm actually glad you're here even if you did disobey me. So what I want you to do when we are not training as a team or doing missions I want you to build up your reserves to the point that you can do 5oo Shadow Clones and still be able to fight. Understand?"

"Yes sir." Kakashi says.

"I also want you to get better at elemental manipulation. That means doing elemental manipulation exercises for all the elements that are not your affinity and create new jutsu's if possible. And I also want you to improve your Taijutsu. It's good but it can use improvement. Losing your leg once is proof of that." Naruto says.

"Yes sir." Kakashi says.

"It is so weird seeing Little Kakashi taking orders from a 12 year old." Minato says looking at the sight.

"Imagine how I feel sensei." Kakashi says. "At this moment in time I'm his sensei, but we know that no matter what time frame we are in. Naruto Namikaze is the Sixth Hokage. By 'we' I mean all who came back in time."

"Naruto can I speak to you for a minute?" Kushina asks finally speaking up.

"Sure Mom." Naruto says getting up and following her into the living room. "What is it?"

"Naruto you can try and hide the pain all you want, but I can tell just by looking at you that you are suffering and so can Sakura. I saw how she was looking at you. She knows exactly how you are feeling." Kushina says.

"What do you..." Naruto says.

"Naruto we heard you in the Nursery. We can also tell you've been crying hard." Kushina says cutting him off. "Naruto you don't need to hide your pain. Go ahead and cry you have every right to with all that you have been through."

Naruto shakes his head. "No I just need to remember that it hasn't happened yet. Sasuke's still here, there is no war, Haruka hasn't been born yet. I just became a Genin."

"Naruto." A voice calls for him and he turns around. 'SMACK'. "Don't you dare say that. That isn't true and you know it." Sakura says with tears flowing from her eyes. "You don't need to hold anything in anymore. Remember what I told you when we got married."

"Yes I do. How could I forget? You told me that I now have someone to share my troubles with. I am no longer alone." Naruto says and he starts to cry and hugs Sakura. "I'm so sorry Sakura I should have done more to protect our little girl. I should have asked granny to put Anbu stationed around your parents house."

Sakura let's Naruto go. "No Naruto it's my fault I should have listened to you and left her with Ino. At least Ino could have protected her until help arrived. My parents never stood a chance."

"Kit summon me." Kurama says.

Naruto bites his thumb then starts to do the hand seals and slams his hand on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu." Naruto says. 'SMACK' 'SMACK' "What the hell Kurama!?" Naruto yells as he and Sakura rub there cheeks where they were hit by Kurama's tails.

"That was because you two need to stop wallowing in pity and just get stronger. Use your pain to help get stronger and protect others. I apologize for hitting you but it was the only way to get your attention." Kurama says and Minato and Kakashi enter the room.

"Kurama how are you here but Naruto is still breathing?" Minato asks.

"Minato, Naruto summoned him." Kushina says still not taking her eyes of Kurama in shock that he was summoned like a normal summon.

"How?" Minato asks.

"Long story short. A few years after Kurama and I came to an agreement he asked if I would like the ability to summon demon foxes and they would be my clan summon. I agreed and now both Sakura and I and whatever children we have will be able to summon foxes. Since we are back in time though we would have to be reacquainted with all of them." Naruto says. "Kurama stays in the seal since he obviously can't leave permanently, but can be summoned by me, Sakura and whatever children we have. I adjusted the seal so that way when I die Kurama goes back to the demon summoning world."

"I see." Minato says. "That's interesting well breakfast is ready. Kurama good to see when you aren't trying to kill everyone."

"It is nice to see you too Lord Hokage and you as well Kushina." Kurama says and disappears in a ball of fire.

"I'm trying to get it to where Kurama can be free, but still use his chakra as if he was still in me.

"Long way to go Kit."Kurama says.

"Shut it Fur-ball." Naruto retorts.

"Same to you, you hairless ape." Kurama replies laughing.

"So how about that breakfast then we meet Sasuke at Team 7's meeting place." Naruto says. "Or can you get there on time without us sensei."

"I prefer getting to a place on time rather than doing D-Ranks for two months without the use of Shadow Clones." Kakashi says.

"It's because he is always late to everything and when I became Hokage I told him that if he was late even once he would do D-Ranks for 2 whole months even if we were in war time." Naruto says laughing at his sensei's misfortune. "I probably should talk to Sarutobi and see if he will do that as well."

"You like torturing me don't you Naruto?" Kakashi asks.

"No if I wanted to torture you I would burn all of your Icha Icha Paradise books in-front of you. One torturous page by torturous page." Naruto says with an evil grin.

"Oh that's cold Naruto." Sakura says with the same grin. "I like it. Well let's get something to eat and then meet with Sasuke at the bridge." Sakura says everyone agrees.

They eat breakfast while making fun of Kakashi and catching up and then they go to Team 7's meeting place.

"Well since we are all here. How about we get started on missions then work on teamwork exercises." Kakashi says when they appear at the bridge and everyone agrees with what Kakashi says.

Leaf Forest:

"This is Blondie I have target sighted waiting for orders." Naruto says. "Why can't we get a mission that is 'kill Tora the demon cat'?" He asks.

"This is Pinky. I too have target sighted and awaiting orders." Sakura says. "I know, but this is our mission. Too bad you can't punish Kakashi for giving us these names. Although I do like Sasuke's"

"This is Emo-King target sighted awaiting orders." Sasuke says.

"I like it too and it fits him well. So does Kakashi's." Naruto says.

"Gray-Haired Pervert here. Capture target...NOW." Kakashi says. "I hate you Naruto."

"Target captured." Sakura says a few minutes later.

"Confirm red ribbon on left ear." Kakashi says.

"Affirmative." Sakura replies.

"Okay team good Job." Kakashi says as he appears where they are. "Let's go back and return Tora to Madam Shimji and we will be finished with missions for today."

Administration Building:

"Oh thank you for rescuing my poor Tora." Madam Shimji says strangling the poor thing.

"Time to make sure we never get this mission again." Naruto says. "Excuse me Ma'am, but do you like having your cat runaway from you."

"How dare you say such a thing. I love my Tora." Madam Shimji says strangling the cat in a hug.

"Naruto what are you doing?" Sakura asks worried where Naruto is going with this.

"Don't worry Sakura I know what I'm doing." Naruto replies. "What I'm saying is the reason your cat always runs away is because of how you hold it. Try holding it like this." Naruto says taking the cat and holding it in his arms and gently petting it and it purrs in his arms and he starts thinking of holding Haruka when she was a baby. "That should be how you hold your cat so that way it doesn't runaway." Naruto says handing the cat back.

"Thank you young man. Hokage you have very exceptional Shinobi under your command." Madam Shimji says. "Here is your payment."

"Thank you and please give the Fire Lord my best." Sarutobi says taking the money.

"I will. Come on Tora time to go home." Madam Shimji says.

"Why didn't anyone else think of doing that?" Sarutobi questions the entire room.

"I guess no one thought of it." Kakashi says.

"I suppose that you are right." Hiruzen replies. "Now then Team 7 for your next mission..." Sarutobi starts.

"Actually sir." Kakashi speaks up. "I was actually going to have them work on teamwork exercises and learn what their affinities are."

"Are you serious Kakashi." Iruka says standing up. "That is something that should wait until they are at least Chunin."

"Iruka-sensei aren't you forgetting that Sasuke and I already know one jutsu. Because I recall doing a Mud Wall to block his Fireball." Naruto says.

"Well now that's settled Team 7 move out." Kakashi says and they leave the building and head to Training Ground 7.

At Training Ground 7:

"Okay team first of all let's test your affinities." Kakashi says as he pulls out three pieces of paper. "Who can tell me what this is?" He asks.

"That's Chakra Paper." Naruto answers and starts to explain. "If a ninja channels their chakra into it, it will tell you what your affinity is. If it becomes wet you have a water affinity. If it burns then you have an affinity to fire. If it crinkles then you have an affinity to lightning. If it turns into dirt then you have an affinity to earth. Lastly if it splits in two then you have an affinity to wind."

"Correct." Kakashi says. "Also a ninja may learn an element that they don't have an affinity to." Kakashi hands them the paper. "You know what to do." He says and they channel chakra into their papers. Naruto's splits in two and crinkles. Sakura's becomes wet and crumbles into dirt. Sasuke's crinkles. "Okay then Naruto has a wind and lightning affinity. Sakura has a water and earth. You Sasuke it seems has an affinity to lightning."

"I thought that my affinity would be fire." Sasuke says in surprise.

"While the Uchiha clan may be known for fire it doesn't mean that they will have an affinity to it." Kakashi says. "In fact I remember an Uchiha having an affinity to water. Sakura I know quite a bit water style and earth style jutsu's. Naruto I don't know any wind style jutsu's so I will help you with your lightning style jutsu's same with you Sasuke."

"That's alright sensei." Naruto says. "I will just get a scroll or book on wind style jutsu's."

"Okay now that we know what affinities that you have let's get started on teamwork." Kakashi says as he jumps back. "I want you two work together and take me on. You can use anything and everything at your disposal. Begin...Now." Kakashi says and Sasuke charges at him head on and starts with a kick to the head which was blocked by Kakashi.

"Sasuke what don't you get about working together." Naruto says as he and Sakura jump in. Naruto jumps over Kakashi's head who looks up and sees Naruto throw a kunai at him.

"Shit." Kakashi says and does a quick substitution and the kunai pierces a log.

"Where do you think he his?" Sasuke asks.

"Below!" Naruto yells and everyone scatters as Kakashi's hands appear out of the ground. Naruto does a quick series of hand seals. "Lightning Style: Lightning Strike Jutsu." Naruto says and focuses lightning chakra into his fist and punches where Kakashi's hands were. When Naruto hit the ground it was destroyed only Kakashi wasn't there, but a log. "Dammit." Naruto says frustrated that he missed. "Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto yells and 2 clones appear and transform into Windmill Shuriken's. "Sasuke take those weapons." Naruto says and Sasuke does what was asked of him.

"Now what?" Sasuke asks.

"Just wait." Naruto says as he creates more clones and have them go into the trees to flush out Kakashi. A few minutes later Kakashi appears out of the trees fighting off 5 clones. "Now Sasuke!1" Naruto yells and Sasuke throws the Windmill Shuriken's at Kakashi.

"What?" Kakashi asks and looks and sees a Windmill Shuriken fly at him. He dodges the first one only the second one that he didn't see transformed back into Naruto who had a punch ready. Kakashi caught his fist and the Windmill Shuriken that he dodged transformed back into Naruto who threw a volley of kunai at Kakashi and as the kunai hit he collapses into mud.

"Mud Clone." Sakura says shocked.

"Earth Style: Head Hunter Jutsu." Kakashi says as he grabs Sasuke and pulls him under and Sasuke's head is the only thing above ground.

"Sakura take on Kakashi and I'll get Sasuke out of the ground." Naruto says as Kakashi appears once again.

"Sure thing Naruto." Sakura says and she starts to do hand seals. "Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death." Sakura says and next thing Kakashi knows is a tree is wrapping itself around him. "Give it up Kakashi-sensei." Sakura says wielding a kunai. "You can't win now."

"Did you forget that I got out of this once before." Kakashi says and he breaks the jutsu.

"No I didn't forget." Sakura says smiling deviously. "That was all a distraction."

"What?" Kakashi asks and he gets punched in the gut by Naruto and kicked in the head by Sasuke from the side. Kakashi goes flying to the lake and Naruto is there going through hand-seals.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Shock Jutsu." Naruto says and lightning chakra forms in his hand once again. "Give up sensei or get electrocuted." Naruto says as he lowers his hand to the water.

"Okay you three win." Kakashi says quickly and Naruto cancels the jutsu and helps his sensei and subordinate out of the water. "Naruto when did you learn those two jutsu?" Kakashi asks standing up.

"Oh I learned how to do them in a book I read in the library." Naruto says so Sasuke doesn't get suspicious. "Same with the Mud Wall that I used during our fight, Sasuke."

"Well you used them quite well." Kakashi praises. "And you certainly caught my Mud Clone off guard with your Clones transformed into Windmill Shuriken."

"That was the idea." Sakura says as she twirls a kunai on her finger.

"Well it seems that you have gotten better at teamwork since the bell test." Kakashi says "That's enough for today. Tomorrow we will get you started on learning jutsu's."

"Yes sensei." The Genin reply in unison.

"You're free to do as you wish for the rest of the day." Kakashi leaves in a puff of smoke.

"We'll see you tomorrow Sasuke." Sakura says and she and Naruto leave the training ground.

"What did you want to do?" Naruto asks.

"I was thinking about working on that water jutsu that I had trouble with." Sakura says.

"I thought that you perfected it already?" Naruto asks confused.

"No I almost did I just couldn't create the right amount for it to be counted as perfected." Sakura explains.

"I see." Naruto says. "Well be careful about where you train and also don't strain yourself. If you feel exhausted stop."

"Says the person who pushed themselves beyond their capabilities." Sakura counters.

"Sakura we were in the middle of a war. I had no choice." Naruto says. "Promise me you'll be careful."

"Alright I promise." Sakura says and she kisses Naruto tenderly on the lips and then they part.

"I'll see you later tonight." Naruto says.

"Why?" Sakura asks with a quizzical look on her face.

"Because I'm taking you out tonight." Naruto says smiling is foxy smile. "Where something nice, okay?"

"What did I do to deserve someone like you?" Sakura asks as she places her hand on Naruto's cheek and he places his own on hers.

"You were yourself." Naruto says and he kisses the back of her hand. "I'll see you later tonight milady." Naruto says and leaves in a swirl of leaves.

"Naruto you are such a romantic." Sakura says and she leaves in a swirl of leaves as well and heads to her home.

With Naruto:

"Hey son how was missions and team training?" Minato asks as Naruto walks inside.

"It was good." Naruto says as he sits down on the couch and memories start flooding his mind. He gets a sad look on his face and Kushina looks in on her son and feels helpless.

"Naruto, are you alright?" Kushina asks as she sits down next to her son and puts her hand on his left shoulder.

"Yea I'm fine." Naruto says wiping the tears out of his eyes. "Just had a memory came into my head. That's all."

"Was it about Haruka?" Kushina asks and Naruto nods his head. "What was the memory?"

"I just came back from the battlefield." Naruto starts. "Sakura was in here playing with Haruka. Haruka saw me and..." Naruto says and his eyes start to flood with tears once again. "And she ran up to me with a smile plastered onto her face. Every time I saw that smile all the worries that were on my mind just washed away. Like they were never there to begin with. Haruka knew how to brighten my day even after being on the battlefield for 8 months." Naruto buries his head into hands and starts to cry. "I hate myself. I should have killed Sasuke a long time ago then Haruka wouldn't have been killed. It's all my fault."

"Naruto no it's..." Kushina tries to say, but Naruto stops her.

"Yes it is." Naruto says looking at her then looks down again. "I never told anyone this, but during the third year into the war I was MIA and I ran into Sasuke multiple times. I still believed that he had some good in him. I should've dealt the killing blow then, but I didn't. It's my fault that Haruka was killed. I let that bastard continue breathing after all that he had done."

"Naruto it's not your fault and the reason is you were only trying to save a long lost friend." Minato says. "But you need to tell this Sakura. She has a right to know."

"I know." Naruto says taking deep breaths. "I planned on telling her tonight. I'm gonna go and get cleaned up." Naruto then heads upstairs to take a quick shower.

Time Skip:

Naruto knocks on Sakura's door and her Mom opens the door. "Hey, Naruto." Mebuki says. "How are you tonight?" She asks.

"I'm doing good." Naruto says smiling. "How are you?" He asks.

"I'm good. Sakura should be right down." Mebuki says stepping to the side to allow Naruto to enter.

"That's fine the reservation isn't until 8 anyway." Naruto says and Sakura walks down the stairs. She is wearing a red silk dress that hugs her curves and has a single strap on each shoulder. Her hair is flowing behind her. "Wow. You look beautiful." Naruto says not taking his eyes off his little vixen.

"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura says as she goes up to him. "You look pretty handsome yourself." Sakura says checking out Naruto's clothes. Naruto is wearing a simple suit with an orange tie. "Well shall we get going?" Sakura asks

"Yes we shall we." Naruto says and Sakura wraps her arm around his and they walk-out the door.

"So where are we going that you asked me to dress up nice?" Sakura asks.

"You'll see." Naruto says. "But first I have something to tell you and if you want to break-up with me I will completely understand."

"Naruto I will never leave you." Sakura says smiling.

"Sakura I'm gonna tell you something and you aren't gonna like it. It's my fault that Haruka is dead." Naruto says sadly. "You remember when I was MIA?" He asks.

"Yea." Sakura says confused.

"Well I ran into Sasuke multiple times and we fought. I had multiple chances to deliver the final blow, but I couldn't." Naruto says. "I could've prevented all that had happened if I would've just ended him when I had the chance. If you want to break-up with me I understand since I'm responsible for our daughter's death."

"Naruto I told you that I am never leaving you." Sakura says as she looks into his eyes. "You were just trying to save a friend."

"But Sakura if I would've just killed him then Haruka would've still been alive along with your parents." Naruto says.

"Naruto stop blaming yourself. It isn't healthy." Sakura says. "I should know as I blamed myself too for not having her stay at Ino's. If anything we both are at fault. So let's just stop and go to dinner alright."

"Okay." Naruto says and they continue walking to the restaurant.

"Naruto are you serious?" Sakura asks as they stop in-front of the restaurant. "The Leaf's Dragon is one of the most expensive restaurants."

"I know, but you're worth it." Naruto says and he kisses her cheek and they enter the building. "Reservation for Uzumaki." Naruto says to the host.

"Ah yes, Uzumaki right this way." The man says and the duo follow him to a table that is dimly lit by one light that is hanging from the ceiling. "Your waiter will be right with you."

"Thank you." Naruto says and the waiter walks away and leaves the couple alone.

"Thank you, Naruto." Sakura says placing her hand on his. "This is one of the most romantic things you have ever done."

"I try." Naruto smiles and their waiter appears.

"Welcome to the Leaf's Dragon what can I get you to drink." He asks.

"I will have a glass of water." Naruto says.

"Same please." Sakura answers.

"Alright I'll bring your drinks out shortly." The man says and he leaves.

"Naruto these prices are steep." Sakura says as she looks at the menu.

"Don't worry about it." Naruto reassures her. "Order whatever want." Naruto opens his menu to see what he would like.

"Here are your drinks." The man says as he returns and places them on the table and pulls out a pen and paper. "Have you figured out what you want or do you need more time."

"We need a few more minutes." Naruto says.

"That's fine take your time." The man says and he leaves.

"Let's see lot's of good choices." Naruto says.

"How about we split their special?" Sakura asks. "It's rice, pork, beef and sushi."

"That sounds perfect." Naruto smiles and a few minutes later the waiter returns.

"Have you decided on what you would like?" The waiter asks.

"Yes we have." Naruto says. "We will take your special."

"Excellent choice." The waiter says and he picks up their menus then leaves.

After an hour of eating and talking Naruto pays for their meal and they leave the restaurant. "Naruto I had a wonderful time tonight." Sakura says as she puts her head on Naruto's shoulder.

"I'm glad." Naruto replies and they continue the walk back to Sakura's in a peaceful silence. "I guess this is good-night." Naruto says as they stop in-front of Sakura's house.

"I guess it is." Sakura replies. "Thank you again for this wonderful night."

"You are most welcome my vixen." Naruto says and Sakura kisses him on the lips as she places her hand on his cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow for more missions and training."

"Of course you will." Sakura replies and she enters her home for the night.
