2 Months have past now and the day was November 22 thanksgiving day, and we find the whole crew at the view of all the leaf village ,enjoying how beautiful it was at night, Sasuke who has woken up saw this, and asked"you brought me back here, b-b-but why?"noticing this the others where surprised to see the last Uchiha finally awake from him his defeat.
Naruto answered his question ,by saying" Ill show you why", as he picks up something he left ,for his return, which was the crystallized flower, that he kept over the years "this is why ,whenever I thought of you I always called it my home ,this is what made me think of you," making Sasuke believe "over the years I was so fixated on getting revenge on Itachi ,that I forgot that I had another family here all along, Naruto thank you for making me realize this" he said to Naruto with a smile.
Midori on the other hand who was happy for her fathers old friend becoming good, tugged on his pant leg and asked" daddy speaking of homes and families ,are we going to see mommy again, huh are we?"making Naruto laugh at his now 6 year old daughter, whose birthday was on October 15th ,5 days ahead of her fathers ,"yes honey but Ill be coming home later ,I've got something I've got to do first OK."
Not wanting his little girl to miss seeing her mom without him, Naruto tells her "if you want ,go to uncle Konohamaru's place and play there ,and Ill pick you up after I'm done, is that OK""OK daddy "she said in a cheery tone ,Naruto then summons Gamatatsu ,and asks him to take Midori to Konohamaru's home ,to which he happily agreed for a snack.
Later on in the Hokage's office ,we see Naruto explaining to Tsunade how the mission went ,plus completing the long time mission of returning Sasuke home,"incredible you kept your word ,I guess you all have passed the missions great work ,even to the 6th Hokage"Tsunade said ,in a surprised voice.
Before the crew could leave though ,Naruto says to them "hey guys dont leave ,what about your pays, you cant spend thanksgiving without buying a turkey ,here 50 ryo for each of you ,happy thanksgiving" smiling as they left ,as for Sasuke however ,Naruto said to him "not you,I want you to come with me ,there's someone I want you to meet, for the first time in your life again."
We now come to the home of the Nara's ,where we see Shikamari , Temaru, and their grandparents seated at the table, praying until a knock came at their door ,and who do we see ,no one other than Shikamaru himself, "daddy his kids yell out as they run toward him, and snuggle on him.
"Kids please that's enough ,I miss you too"Shikamaru says, in a happy tone Yoshina then says"welcome home Shikamaru, we really missed you" in a calming voice, then in a mean voice she yells to her husband"Shikakau, dont just lay there ,your son returned home ,say hello" Shikaku does so in a bored voice ,he then asked"how was the mission son", Shikamaru responded "it was fine dad ",Temari then walks in ,and says"well wed love to hear all about it, at the table, now come on lets eat" kissing him on the cheek afterwords, making him blush.
In the Hyuga household we see Neji arrive ,with a bouquet of flowers, knocking on the door ,and who answered but little Tum Tum ,and when he did, he said"hello father, welcome home" Neji replied "thank you Tum Tum ,may I please speak to your mother now?", Tum Tum nodded ,and said"sure shes in the kitchen."
We now see ten ten preparing the turkey ,while rocky and colt set the table ,and when Neji came home they ran to hug him, ten ten however added a kiss on the lips ,and said in an exited voice "welcome home honey ,we missed you how was the mission", Neji later replied"the mission was a big success ,you'll even be in for a big surprise tomorrow ,oh I got you something"Ten tens only reply to that was,"oh Neji thank you for the flowers, now sit down so we can start our dinner."
We now go to Naruto and Sasuke heading to Sakura's favorite hangout ,which was at a dumpling shop ,where they see Sakura chowing down on some diet dumplings ,Sasuke felt a little nervous about talking to her ,until Naruto backed him up, saying"I'm right behind ya pal ,come on your lady awaits" carrying him to Sakura.
When Sakura was done paying for her meal ,she turns around to see Naruto ,and say "hey welcome back ,so how was the mission" this made Naruto reply, "why dont you ask the rogue shinobi himself", as he steps aside, Sakura saw who Naruto was referring to, and said" is that who I think it is?"in a surprised voice.
Naruto's reply to the question "yup thats him Sasuke Uchiha ,like I promised I brought him back", Sakura turns her attention to Sasuke ,and says"after all these years ,I never thought I would ever see your face again ,oh Sasuke welcome back" hugging him ,while crying in happiness.
Naruto saw this ,and said "looks like you two have a lot to catch up on ,Ill see you two lovebirds tomorrow "reffering to them as he leaves,when they look into each others eyes afterwards ,"thank you Naruto"Sakura said ,before she and Sasuke kiss.
At the Inuzuka household ,we find Kiba was about to enter his home ,until a woman bumped into him ,it turned out it was his sister with her son Koinu, coming to see if the thanksgiving party they are throwing ,could be held at his house ,to this Kiba replied"sure ,I'd also be happy to catch up on what my little nephew was doing ,while I was away" making his nephew respond "man uncle Kiba your the best."
We now go to the Akimichi house, where we see Ino deep fry some delicious corn dogs ,for a big feast she planned to have for thanksgiving "mom should'nt we wait for dad to come home ,we usually dont eat without him" Asuma asked his mother ,Ino then said"Asuma I dont think your father will be home this time son,I think this would be the only time we start without him" trying not to let her son know shes crying for him.
Asuma just said "well I bet he wont mind if I just start with the barbacue ,it just looks so good" but as Asuma was about to grab a barbacued meat from the table ,a loud voice was heard saying"you better not take a bite out of my barbacue young man ,because I called dibs on it first!" this made Asuma look at who was at the door ,and boy was he glad to see it was his own father.
"Choji you came home, oh how I've missed you"Ino said ,hugging her chubby husband ,while hiding the fact that shes crying ,"dad welcome home ,I was worried you weren't gonna come" Asuma said ,in a happy tone ,Choji then replies"you know daddy will never miss a meal, especially on thanks giving, and you know what I've changed my mind son, of course you can have the first barbecue"giving his son the barbecue he was about to eat.
Ino sees the bond between them ,smiles at this, and says"come on you two ,lets chow down " as they eat like pigs ,chowing down every bite of their dinner ,and finally we come to the home of the Uzumaki's,where we find Hinata dressed in a white bunny costume, with no stockings, that looks like a one piece bathing suit ,with a fluffy tail at the bottom, and despite the large tummy Hinata looked hot in it.
That didn't excuse the fact that Hinata still missed Naruto but tonight she was in for a big surprise.
thats all the little reunions between the team but not to worry Im saving the best for last for Hinata in the next chapter in the meantime please review
