I do not own Naruto in any format, this is fan fiction

I also would like to say one last thing about any mention of my bashing a certain pink haired Haruno. If I receive one more insult about how my story is garbage because I supposedly bash that screaming banshee, I will write a story that makes Naruto so down right evil, that Orochimaru will seem like an absolute angel by comparison, and that story will not have simple negative remarks about her. I will write her death to be the most humiliating and painful thing I can imagine. Believe it!

Time sure flies when you are having fun or training as much as Naruto and Sasuke where. It did not seem that long since the clan had the meeting. The meeting turned out to be a major success, almost the entire clan accepted that indeed they needed to be more open and involved with the village, only a couple of the older generation said that they should remain isolated because of the danger of being betrayed. The large majority did as their clan head proposed. The wall around the Uchiha compound and around the district was torn down. Minato smiled as it happened.

The next big thing was that the grandson of Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got tired of challenging Minato to fight for the position of Hokage. Even though Minato took it easy on the kid, he did give the kid quite the severe beating. It was clear that if he ever wanted to be Hokage, he needed to train a whole lot longer and harder. Naruto smiled as he heard the kid say that to his own of personal trainer. He even told him to stop with the nonsenses of the easy path to being a Hokage. In his words, "If you know such an easy path, then why aren't you Hokage?"

Naruto just finished his current training session with Sasuke, and he felt that he did so good they were on their way to Ichiraku to buy him a few plates of the ramen of his choice. That is when he saw Konahamaru being picked up by the throat by a ninja from Suna, the guy had looked like a bundle on his back, make up on his face and was wearing something he considered a cat eat hoody. Next to him was a blonde girl with the most extreme hairstyle he had ever seen and has what looked like a huge fan strapped to the back of her waist.

"I know you three are here for the exams,but the kid you are holding is the grandson of the third Hokage, if you don't want to have a political incident that could have your entire village banned forever from taking the chuunin exam here. I would put him down gently." The guy said the brat bimledinto him and he did not apologize. "I did apologize, but you want someone to kiss your rear and not an apology." This was going nowhere. He looked at the three and smiled. "Brother one, are you going to sit on that branch all day, come on down and join this friendly discussion."

Both Kankuro and Temari feared the worst as their brother jumped down from the tree. "I do believe you are right Brother nine. I can almost say mother would find the taste of your blood quite tasty, but let me deal with this, and then you can help prove my existence in the exams." The guy was called Gaara by his two siblings. "Do as he says right now, or I will kill you both!?" Kankuro gently let go of Konahamaru and apologized form being so rough, Konahamaru again apologized for his comment and bumping into him. The three left a very grateful Konahamaru.

"Dad do I have a bunch of aunts and uncles I don't know about?" Naruto told Sasuke to follow and he would explain. As they reached Ichiraku they both took their seats. "No Sasuke, I only called him brother one because it is common courtesy to do so between jinchuriki. That guy is the jinchuriki of Shukaku the one tailed beast. So I called him brother one, I hold the nine tails so he called me brother nine, see we can know what tail beast we have because the biju can identify the others jinchuriki. No need to be rude in a situation like that."

"Naruto we have not seen you in a while, what's new in your life?" Naruto smiled and simply decided to be open with him. The man was an old friend of the family after all. "Well you know how busy married life is, my wife likes it that we eat at home. My kid did something that made me really proud, so I decided to treat him to some delicious ramen. So go ahead so order whatever you like, you earned it.". Sasuke was blushing and rubbing the back of his head. "Daad, you are embarrassing me." Teuchi had to ask why did Sasuke call Naruto that, last he remembered his father was someone named Fugaku Uchiha.

"Mikoto and I got married, I got to marry the girl I had a childhood crush on, talk about being lucky. So since I am his stepfather Sasuke here is my youngest son." Sasuke said that he was nicer to him, and more interested in his life than Fugaku ever was, he was even teaching him better than Fugaku ever did. "He treats me like a son, so why should I reject such a good father? So I call him dad. You should see how much happier mom is."

"You know Naruto I always pictured my daughter married to a nice guy like you. I guess Mikoto won and she lost." Naruto stopped eating his miso ramen, and watched his son eat his beef and chicken ramen. "I know the wish of a parent for his child's happiness. But I would not despair if I were you. I seem to call Ayame had a good friendship, if not a starting romance with my eldest son. If everything works out the way I am planning Ayame will be able to retake that romance once again."

Teuchi asked him how would he overturn the council's declaration of his treason against the village. Naruto finished his ramen and watched hjs son do the same. "The truth, Teuchi, the truth shall sent my first son free, and allow him and your daughter a chance at happiness. Teuchi could not believe it, he hoped but was simply too hard to believe. "I will keep it a secret, till Itachi is back and then we shall see if my daughter can still love him after all this time." Naruto paid for the ticket for both his and Sasuke.

The two then decided to go and see how the new renovations were coming along, the wall was replaced by a beautiful pathway of flowering trees and benches for people to sit under. Yamato could definitely work miracles with that wood release. The cherry trees looked beautiful as they were getting ready to blossom for the first time. "Dad, why make the space here the walls something like this." Naruto smiled, "It a symbol and a gift my son, this is meant to show the village and the people that visit the village that the days of isolation are over for our clan, this is what I call a beautiful welcome to those that wish to visit us."

Sasuke asked if this would not make it easier for people to try and do them harm? Nature explained "I said we were now more open to the village, but did I ever say that we were not secure? Come and take a closer look at the trees and by benches. Sasuke could not understand until he got closer to look. They had surveillance seals carved into the trees and into the benches, it was made to look like an artistic rendition of the Uchiha clan symbol. "See son, I want the clan to have the trust of the village, but I would sooner die, than to put my family at risk. My decision will not cause your mother a single tear, at least not while I live."

The two went home but felt like someone was following them. Naruto turned around and with only one hand sign he released the wind style: great breakthrough jitsu. It sent the person flying till she hit a wall. "Sakura, I told you time and time again. I will only train Sasuke, go ask Kakashi to train you, and stop wasting my time!" Sakura recovered from hitting the wall. "I just want to talk to my future mother in law. Because Sasuke will be mine!" Sasuke did not bother telling her no for the thousandth time.

Mikoto feeling chakra being used near their home, decided to see what caused it, deep down she was sure it was her husband. She arrived as Sakura finished talking. Thanks to her loud voice she heard every single word. She appeared next to Naruto and kissed him with a lot of passion and love. "My husband has told me of your intentions to woe our youngest son, his decision stand, Sasuke is quite happy with Haku . I like my husband shall never let you or any other woman use him as a social stepladder."

The next thing they saw was Ino leave her hiding place in tears. It was clear Mikoto sensed her presence and her words made her sad that like her rival she would not be allowed to marry Sasuke. She could not help but to go to the hospital. There she found the one named Haku, even she had to admit she was rather pretty. But what shocked her the most is the cheer kindness she treated her patients with. She simply had to ask one of the nurses her opinion of her. "So this doctor Haku what sort of person is she?"

The nurse smiled, and told Ino to take a seat. "Doctor Haku, well she is the most kind doctor we have, she treats everyone with such tenderness that it makes our patients simply be completely relaxed even in our hospital. She will treat you regardless of your financial situation. She has even paid for the hospital costs of treating kids of the local orphanage. You should see her smile when she tells our nurses how happy she is with her lover, I would never imagine Sasuke Uchiha being that romantic, but he sends her a dozen roses every Saturday. If you look at the nurses station you will see them."

Ino saw the large bouquet of red roses, and it had a card, 'to my beloved ice princess, Sasuke.' There was no mistaking the handwriting, it was really Sasuke who sent her these flowers. Ino unlike Sakura accepted what she saw, and decided to let Sasuke be happy, even if it was not with her. Maybe she should reconsider Shikamaru's proposal of being her boyfriend. They guy was lazy as hell, but he was nice and she knew him most of her life.

Sasuke and family discussed what happened when they went to have their ramen. Mikoto was not happy to hear they went out to eat, when she actually could have cooked a healthier meal at home. Naruto told her it was a reward, Sasuke had earned it, he finished learning all the basic knowledge about sealing techniques after all, he deserved a reward. Mikoto understood why her husband did it, she was still frowining at them, but she understood his reason.

"Honestly Mikoto, I did not know it would make you this upset. I guess I should have bought him a book." Sasuke hearing that told him that if that was the case he would ask for the new Icha Icha book that just came out. That made Mikoto realize that their son eating that ramen was not such a bad reward after all. The last thing she wanted was for her so to start reading those perverted books.

The following morning Mikoto got up bright and early to pack two storage scrolls with everything her husband and son would need for their exams. Naruto prepared a snake bite kit just in case. They both look rather impressive dressed in the same clothes and color. She wished them good luck and asked them to come back safe. Naruto told her that the minute he got his chuunin vest, they would start planing for their church wedding. This made Mikoto so glad that she kissed him. She kissed her son on the forehead too not wanting her son to feel left out. 'Mom, stop it, I am not a little kid anymore!'
