I do not own Naruto so please don't sue me!

I will try to update as often as I can but there are no guarantees due to work.

Day 21 – Midlife Crisis

Sasuke watched as Naruto poked at the Chashu slice in his ramen instead of scarfing it down like he always does.

"What's up with you?"

The kyuubi let out a long sigh. "I'm so exhausted and I just want to crawl into a hole."

"You're the most hyper, well only hyper person that I know in Konoha. You've got Hinata, a baby on the way and you're one step closer to becoming Hokage. What's there to be depressed about?" Sasuke explained which earned another sigh from Naruto.

"That's just it, those are steps towards adulthood. We can never go back to bring teenagers like we once were."

"You're not having a midlife crisis on me, are you?" The Uchiha questioned, pushing his empty ramen bowl away from himself.

"I think I am. Think about it Sasuke, we can never go back to how we were before. No more pranks or irresponsibility."

Sasuke scoffed. "Don't you mean how you used to be and are? I never once have acted that way, even as a child. And you just pulled a prank on Sakura a week ago at the hospital."

Naruto waved his hand in disagreement. "Nah, that wasn't a prank."

"You used the Henge no Jutsu and impersonated Sakura giving people fake medical advice. How is that not a prank?"

The blond-haired boy again disagreed. "Meh, that was just a typical Tuesday."

Sasuke face palmed. "Sakura beat you up because of that and you needed to be admitted for two days. Is that also a typical Tuesday?"

"Pretty much."

The Uchiha sighed as he continued eating his own ramen.

Sasuke sat on the back porch with Sakura as she took a bite of watermelon.

"What's got you so pensive?"

That snapped her husband out of his daze. "Naruto. He's having a midlife crisis."

"That's pretty normal actually. I sometimes have small ones when I feel overwhelmed."

He arched an eyebrow at her words. "Really? From what?"

"Mostly my work. I sometimes think, was being a doctor what I really wanted my career to be?" Sakura replied, glancing over at Sasuke. "Sometimes I feel like pursuing another career, one that isn't so demanding of my time. But who has the time for that? We need to make a living."

"Sakura, if you want to go back to school and study, then do it. We can afford it; money is not an issue."

"But that money-"

"-Is an inheritance which is more than we can spend in this lifetime. I'm sure my family would approve as well." Sasuke finished for her, grasping her hand in his.

"Thank you, but I don't want to make any decisions now." She said, placing her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Take all the time you need."

Thanks for the reviews!
