Third Person POV:

Three months came and passed. It was becoming imperative for them to find Sasuke but no matter where they went or how far they traveled the team Tsunade sent out couldn't find him. Ino was being followed by Kakashi and the man that had been the informant got severe punishment. Tsunade even joined the search party at one point. They found no trace of him. Time was drawing near and in a few days Sakura would be having her daughter. Neji, Hinata, and Rock-Lee followed every trace they got when finally they spotted him. Finally. Neji told Hinata to report back to the Hokage hoping to get her out of the way. He loved her and knew that she would be no match for Sasuke, hell even he wouldn't. But she had to be protected. Hinata reported back as fast as she could. Tsunade sent reinforcements to them but when they got there…blood stained the ground.

Sakura's POV:

I was cooking dinner for Naruto and I but then all of a sudden this sharp pain hit me. It would pass but then it would come again in an instant. When I fell to my knees Naruto was there whispering in my ear I could hear him asking what was wrong but it hurt so bad I could hardly think strait. "My mom…get my…mom!" I yelled at him. He was gone from my side and a few minutes later my mother replaced him. I was thankful that she had offered to stay at our house until the baby came. I heard her telling me that it was time. I was in the hospital and then everything went black.

Naruto's POV:

Oh my God. Oh my God. My heart was racing, I felt sick, I felt happy. What should I be feeling?! I was son confused. I stood at Sakura's head just as we had disgusted when we were talking about Kushina being born. Sakura was out of it but continued to do as Tsunade said. I was worried about her; I was worried about my daughter. I was worried about my hand. Sakura had probably broken it already. Everything happened so fast. The room was filled with doctors and telling her to push and breathe and then the room was filled with a tiny little cry, at that moment I knew I was screwed. This little girl would get whatever she wanted when she wanted. When they cleaned her up they gave her to me. I felt the tears sting my eyes. Pink hair and blue eyes just like in my dreams, I put my finger in her tiny little hand. She cried and cried "Shush…daddy's here everything's okay" I whispered to her. I leaned down and kissed Sakura on the head and then let her hold our daughter for the first time. She smiled at her. "I can't believe something so beautiful came out of me."

"I can." I told her. From the start we could see that Kushina looked just like her mom, all except for her eyes. My heart was filled with so much joy I felt like I was going to burst. Tsunade smiled at the little one. When we finally got out of the operating room we went to a regular room and would be staying there for two more days to make sure the baby and Sakura were okay. Hinata informed me about the search party and that Sasuke had been found. I looked at my daughter as she said those words and new that Sasuke would never lay a hand on her. That was my daughter. Hinata picked up her godchild and smiled at it. She started to hum a small song to her. Kakashi was next. He cooed and cooed over our little one. He looked at me "You better take care of her if you know what's good for you." He also came by and kissed Sakura on the head as she was sleeping. To my disappointment the mask did not move. The rest of the twelve came in one by one to see her, all of them but Rock-Lee and Neji. My mind was filled with worry but at the same time my heart was filled with pride. Kureina brought hers and Asuma's son in to us. She looked down at our girl, "Children are gifts to this world" Hers had been born a few weeks ago.

When everyone was gone and my daughter and Sakura were sleeping away I went to the old woman's office.

"Any news?" I asked her. She sighed I was guessing she was tired. "No, I sent in reinforcements but there has been no word."

I sat down. I felt a little out of it. There was so much to take in and there was so much to put out. I was thinking about my daughter and Sakura. I was thinking about Sasuke and the other team members. I was confused. I was sick. I was tired. I was happy. What should I feel?

"They are both going to be fine." She said to me. I left her and thanked her. I decided to take some time and go and get some ramen. I was told congratulations there too and decided to take Sakura some. When I returned she was breast feeding the baby. I felt the blood come from my nose. I turned around quickly. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry" I kept saying.

"Well next time knock you idiot! But don't worry about it I can't be mad, today is our little girls Birthday after all." When she finished I took our little girl and gave her the food. "Thanks I was starving." I bounced her and cuddled her. Sakura watched me with her for the longest time. "You know, you're going to be really good with her." I didn't respond I just continued to look into my daughter's face. Her beautiful face.

Sakura's POV:

I watched Naruto with my daughter, and at that moment I felt love for him. I knew it was love, but the kind of love a mother sees when the father holds his daughter. I loved him because he loved our daughter not because of who he was yet. He was still a very dear friend but I felt it in my heart something was changing and when I looked at that little girl I knew she would change everything. She was a miracle and they did those kinds of things.
"Have they heard anything?" I asked him. He stopped bouncing her and answered me "Not really. They've seen him and Hinata is back but she sent in reinforcements and no one has come back yet."

"Naruto, we need to find a baby sitter. For three hours a day."

"Why?"

"We start training when my body can handle it." He agreed with me. We heard people rushing and screaming outside. I looked out the window to the gates of the village. "Oh my god" my heart sank. "Its Neji and Rock-Lee! Naruto this looks bad. Get out there!" He handed me our daughter and ran to the gates.

Naruto's POV:

Two men were carrying in the boys. Blood dripped from them, there bodys…it was horrible. Hinata was already racing beside me looking to Neji.

"Neji! Neji!" When she got up to him she grabbed his hand and she put her free hand to her mouth and her eyes opened wide. I came up to him and tried to help. His body was cold as ice. The other members of their clan finally got there and Tsunade rushed by everyone to check on them, She checked Neji as he seemed to be the worse. "If he is going to make it we need to get him to the hospital now." She said. Hinata started to cry. Her father held her as she tried to reach out for her cousin again. The old woman then went to Rock-Lee. "He is in critical condition but take care of Neji first." She looked behind these two men. "What the hell happened out there?"

The man carrying Rock-Lee answered "We barely got away. We could only save these two."

I felt the anger hit me. I started walking toward the gates. Tsunade grabbed my arm. "Think about your daughter" Was all she said to me. All she had to say. I looked at my two friends and I looked at Hinata. How could this be happening? A few years ago Sasuke was a villager here and now he was destroying lives.

I went back to Sakura's room covered in blood. "You need to clean up" was all she said to me. I took a shower there and when I came back to the main room I saw Sakura crying, the tears hitting our daughter who was squirming. I picked her up and sat on the bed beside Sakura. I wrapped one arm around her. "He won't get her." I promised her.

Third Person POV:

Tsunade tried everything she could. She hated this part. She walked out to the waiting family members and informed them they would be starting the grieving proses of things. Hinata screamed in pain. She wanted to do anything to take that away. Rock-Lee would live but he would be in the hospital for quite some time. The man that was carrying Neji lends down to Hinata and spoke to her. "He was afraid this might happen. He told me to tell you to lead this family to the best ability you can. That he had faith in you, and that he loved you. He asked you to take care of the girl that was just born and to become stronger. Make him proud he told me to tell you." The man then got up and walked away. The sun was shining brightly outside but nothing was bright about this. Tsunade hated it, she hated when the sun shined and people died. Naruto had heard Hinata's yell and came out of the room he was staying in. He was by her side in a moment and then he looked to the Hokage. "Please tell me…" Tsunade shook her head. Naruto's tears began to fall. He punched the wall. "This can't be happening"

"I'm bringing that ass back home" he growled. Tin Tin arrived at the hospital after getting back from a mission with Guy. When they got there Tin Tin was as distraught if not worse than Hinata. Guy cried quietly. Kakashi put a hand on his rival's shoulder. Nothing about this was right. Tsunade then spoke up. "Rock-Lee spoke to me while he was still awake. He informed me that Sasuke was not the one that did this." They all looked at her.

"Then who the hell did?" Naruto barked.

"They don't know." She replied.

Sakura finally got out of the hospital but that day was the funeral as well. Ninjas, villagers alike arrived there. The picture of Neji was there and Naruto wanted to rip it down. His heart burned with a since of pain. He and Neji didn't always get a long but he was still a fellow ninja. This couldn't be happening. The twelve had made it through everything. Through Pain, through Life, why now? They cried as they said their final goodbye to one of the twelve.
