Sasuke and most of the leaf shinobi arrived at the gate and ran straight to the hospital. As the secretary saw them enter she put up a sign. Room 203. Sasuke and the other ninja ran to the room hoping their friend was awake and healed. When they entered however they were greeted to the sound of crying and the heart monitor flat lining. 'Naruto no!' Sasuke felt the comfort of his sensei's hand on his shoulder and his wife turned and saw his and collapsed into his chest wailing. Tsunade looked like she was about to break down and Jiraiya pulled her into a hug. The only one who was unaffected was Hinaata as she continued compressions on Naruto.

There was a blinding white light and a man whispered into Naruto's ear.

"Wake up son, your mother and I need to talk to you but you are short on time. Naruto's eyes flew open at the mention of his mom and dad. He knew nothing of them except that Kyuubi had killed them in his emotional rage started by Madara Uchiha.

"Mom, dad? Am I dead?"

"We will have to see when were done done."

Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage stepped up to the blonde followed by Kunisha Uzumaki. She ran up and pulled her son into a tight embrace crying tears of sorrow because her son is dead with her but happiness because she knows he won't have to deal with the treatment of the villagers anymore.

"Naruto, son I have to tell you about your inheritance and how you can save your relationship."

"Dad Ino hates me there is no relationship to be saved."

"Fine then you can figure it out." Minato started to fade and added as an afterthought,

"Naruto your inheritance is held by the third until you turn 18 or you tell his your are ready to take on your heritage as Namikaze."

"Dad I already have taken on my heritage but have not received my inheritance."

Son the Third will gove it to you when he feels ready. Now good bye son and go to the Namikaze complex!" With that both Minato and Kushina faded from view and turned into the face of Hinata and Ino looking down on him.

The monitor stopped the solid beep and as a faint heartbeat was detected. Everyone stopped, and looked on in disbelief as their friend's eyes opened and took in the scene.

"Uh...hey guys what's up?" Ino stared in shock before she smacked him.

"Don't hey whats up us! You were just dead!" And she leaned down and planted a kiss on him again.

"Ino I am sorry for everything if you will accept my invitation I believe we need to talk after i am released from the hospital."

"I agree Naruto and one more thing, I miss hime." The bedridden blonde broke out a foxy smile as Ino blushed as she realized what she had just said.

"Of course Ino-hime." Naruto then looked around the room and saw that everyone but Sasuke and Sakura was there.

Sasuke sat alone on the hospital roof deep in thought. He thought back to his first mission at Tazuna's bridge where Naruto took a firestorm of Senboi to protect him, and he thought of the time he almost left the village only for Naruto to stop him. He then thought back to his wedding night.

Begin Flashback

Sasuke sat in his finest clothes and thought for the millionth time that hour, 'I'm not ready, I will make a horrible husband for Sakura-chan!' Sauske heard the door open and ignored it. It was probably just someone looking for a bathroom. Instead he found his best friend and the best man of the wedding Naruto standing there.

"Sasuke you aren't getting cold feet are you?"

"Of course not I just am thinking of how I will fail Sakura-chan as a husband." Naruto placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder,

"Sasuke you will do fine! And even if you do have problems you two love each other! They will work themselves out." Sasuke feeling better decided to ask the question that has been plauging his mind for the 2 years he and Sakura have been dating.

"Naruto have you found a girl you like yet?"

"No but I can;t have a family I am a demon vessel, people want me dead and will kill them to get me." "Naruto just have Kyuubi pick out a mate for you he has a good eye for strength and morals." Naruto was shocked he hadn't thought of that.

"Great idea Sasuke! Well lets go get you married!" And the two men walked out into the church to the altar where Sasuke would marry Sakura.

End Flashback

'Now he is gone! I swear when I find Orochimaru I will make him suffer until he begs me for death!'

"Sasuke-kun, he is alive and waking up!" Sasuke turned to see his pink haired wife.

"How are things between him and Ino?"

"Well she kissed him and he started calling her hime again but other than that no change. Lets go see and you can judge for yourself."

With that the pink haired girl wrapped her arms around her husband's and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Sakura I don't know where we would be without Naruto."

"Niehter do I Sasuke-kun, niether do I."

2 weeks pass

Naruto walked up the familiar steps with his new mask and ANBU gear he had recieved one last promotion, he was now certified to lead a War group of ANBU a privledge usually left to people like Inoichi or the Nara clan. He produced 12 red roses as he knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Inoichi Yamanaka. The Yamanaka pulled Naruto into a bear hug.

"I like the new mask looks more feroucious than the last fox!"

"I agree, Inoichi-san is Ino-hime home?"

"Yes she is outback, if you go through the side door you can surprise her."

"Thank you Inoichi-san."

"Naruto just remember the same rules apply as before regarding dating my daughter!"

"Inoichi-san I have to explain myself to her first."

"I know just saying it now rather than later." The older blonde Jounin entered the house and closed the door.

Naruto opened the side door and came into the Yamanaka's back yard. As Ino turned around she jumped up and embraced him burying her eyes in his hair to absorb the tears.

"Ino-hime when I said I asked you out from the fox it wasn't what you thought. He has been picking out sutable mates and your are te best choice. Your strong so I don't have to worry about your safety even though I will non-stop. Your beautiful and I have liked you for a long time. Can you ever forgive my stupidity?"

"Naruto-kun, I over reacted and didn't let you explain so I guess I have to." She walked to the blonde and he pulled her into a hug and he smiled as she nuzzled against his side of the neck.

"Ino-chan I believe I owe you dinner since we didn't finish last time."

"That you do Naruto-kun."
