(Story Starts)

==With Naruto and Sakura - Next Morning==

The sun was high over head as Sakura lied down on Naruto's shirtless chest as they both lied in a bed. Sakura looked up to see Naruto's sleeping face, her Naruto-kun, her husband of just over a day. Normally she wouldn't be the kind of person who like taking afternoon naps but in this case she didn't care.

Naruto and Sakura are now officially wedded couple. Since Naruto brought Sakura at his home, Sakura's new home. Sakura couldn't help but smile as woke up the morning after their wedding. She woke up and stretched her arms, after stretching she looked at her new ring. She smiled as she rubbed the still sleeping Naruto's cheek, her husband.

'Mrs. Sakura Kurosaki.'Sakura thought Sakura. 'I will spend the rest of my life with Naruto-kun...and now I'm married.'

'Yes, we are.' Inner Sakura said. 'Just imagine what our future will be like.'

'I'm so proud of you Sakura-sama.'

'Thanks, Sode no Shirayuki.'

Sakura smiled as she dreamed up a future in her mind. True she knew they would have their ups and downs as a married couple, just like everyone else. However the important thing was that she loved in no matter what and together they would build their future together. But those downs would never equal the highs as she dreamed of a house full of laughter and love, where children could be born and raised. And includes Noriko.

'Naruto-kun will make a great father when the time come.'Sakura thought. As she remember the time after their party.

==Flashback Started==

After the wedding ceremony it didn't take long to reach the reception area, it was their back yard was now covered with a wooden dance floor. Dozens of small tables filled in the rest of the area with a larger center table.

"Congratulation you two." Mebuki said as she hugged her new son-in-law.

"You know what to do, musuko?" Kizashi asked with a teasing.

"I know, tou-san, I will have your word." Naruto replied chuckled.

"That was just beautiful." Tsukiko said.

Neither Naruto nor she had ever to shake so many hands but finally they got to sit down at their table. After their drinks which included demon fox wine.

"I don't know, if there are words to describe how beautiful you look Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he and her sat side by side waiting for everyone to be severed their drinks.

"Thanks and you are handsome, dear husband." Sakura said as she kissed her husband again. Just saying husband made her smile. They separated from their kiss when the sound of a ringing glass filled the air. They turned to see Shikamaru standing up with a glass of wine in his hands.

"I have been informed that it is the troublesome traditional for the best men to give a toast to the married couple." Shikamaru announced. "So that is what I am going to do."

"Naruto and Sakura, we all became ninjas together and we have all been on missions together. Maybe it was those dangerous times we had as young ninjas that allowed all of us to become good friends. Naruto and Sakura started out as teammates and then became friends, when we were in the Academy. For a time Naruto's heart was shattered by his former parents, only caused Sakura to see that her heart longed for Naruto. When he met her and Sakura had his heart by repair his own heart what she had carried. However she quickly won his heart. Now they are not only teammates but they are husband and wife. I wish them both the best of luck and I offer you this bit of advice. Naruto the woman is always right, even when they are wrong they are right."

People laughed at that as they lifted their glasses and toasted to Naruto and Sakura. However the speeches where not done yet as Ino stood up.

"Well…well Forehead, looks like you beat me to the alter by a few weeks." Ino said with a grin. "I remember when we were little girls talking about our weddings, well I did most of the talking. I remember how we planed everything out in a vain attempt to outdo each other. Now the future never turns out how you plan and all our day dreaming never live up to the real thing does it?"

"The real thing is by far better." Sakura answered.

"Well I wish you two the best of luck in everything and of course have fun with each other." Ino said as she raised her glass "To Mr. and Mrs. Kurosaki, may their days be blessed."

After they drank the servers started delivering food to each of the guest. Choji's mother had pulled some strings and got a food company that their clan owned to provide the food.

==Flashback Ended==

The food and the friends where amazing but after they had cut the cake came another moment in a long line that Sakura would never forget. Like their first dance as husband and wife, spending times with their friends and family but not all of the memories where happy.

However in time the party had to end and Naruto and Sakura had to find a place for their own honeymoon later on. Now Naruto awoke with a small start (or second), his mind trying to readjust from the events of the other day. 'Oh, right, me and Sakura are now married.'

Naruto glanced down saw someone is already awoke already first...

There, in all her snoozing glory, was Sakura Haruno, 'or' should he say, Sakura H. Kurosaki.

His newly-wedded 'wife'.

He stared at her wide-eyed with a smile for a few minutes, he was happy that he got his dreams came true, until he eventually just turned his head back towards the ceiling and stared at it, his body completely still now. How the hell had any of this happened? Yesterday, he tries to kill himself, and the next thing he knows, he's now married to a girl that he had always wished for but could never have. It was almost like one of those bad romance novels where the hero tries to show his love for the heroine but fails spectacularly and gets driven to despair before attempting suicide, only for the heroine to conveniently remember that deep down she's always had a burning passion for him and saves him from that same despair before the two of them finally get together and have dirty, animistic sex like before.

Yep, exactly like a romance novel, except without the animalistic sex, which is a shame because that's the best part, too.

This thought saddened him a little, and even though he couldn't see them, he knew his eyes were reflecting the dreadfulness within his own heart. He knew that Sakura didn't love him. She only did this because she wanted to try and keep him alive. Yet, at the same time, her words last night rang through his ears.

'I swear to you...I will do everything in my power to make you happy...'

Despite his suspicions, he actually dared to put his hope into her words. For so long, he had wanted this, wanted someone who would care at least a little about him, yet now that it had happened, he found himself unable to believe it.

He looked at Sakura again, this time drinking in her image with his greedy eyes, trying to commit it all to memory in case this all proved to be a dream after all. Her slim body had pressed up against him tightly, though not so tight that it was uncomfortable, and her shoulder-length hair had fanned out a little on the bed, forming a small pink halo around her head. She had a small smile on her face, one that showed she was comfortable, while her right hand was laying lightly on his chest. Truly, she was now the goddess he had always viewed her as, and he hoped that at the very least Kami would allow this memory to stay with him forever.

No doubting sensing that he was up, Sakura's eyelids fluttered open, allowing her to groggily take in the room around her, before slowly turning her head to look at him. The smile stayed on her face as she leaned towards him and whispered, "Good morning, husband," before kissing him lightly on the lips. She then rested her head on his chest, her hand idly twirling on it while listening to his steady heartbeat. It felt soothing to her, the rhythmic beating pulsing in her ear, and she was tempted to tap her fingers gently in sync with it.

"Good morning, hime." Naruto replied.

"Can't believe we're married...now our dreams came true." Sakura said with a happy smile.

"Yeah...since we been a lot when we're kids? You or Ino always told me talking about weddings, right?" Naruto comment.

Sakura giggle about that and replied. "Yeah, since I never thought its our best wedding ever." Sakura smiled, which made him smile about it, as he sat up straight in the bed.

"So...what are we going to do for our honeymoon?" Naruto asked.

Sakura frown of thought of that as well. Since its was their first honeymoon for their wedding. Now she gave a cheeky smile and grabbed her husband's hand. "I was thinking that maybe we could go elsewhere, like the Capital or-"

"Nami (Wave)."

Sakura looked at him in a confused manner. "Nami?"

Naruto nodded and smirked. "I say we go check out Nami no Kuni and see just how much they have gotten back on their feet. If anything, we'll just go visit that old drunk Tazuna and his family, see how they're doing. It shouldn't take more than a couple hours to get there by tree-running, and we could possibly stay a few nights there."

Sakura blushed a little before giggling and smiling seductively. "Oooooh! Have our honeymoon in Wave, koi? I think that would be lovely!"

Naruto smiled. "But...we'll have a friend to accompany us."

"I see." Sakura replied. "When we're leaving?"

Naruto looked back to his wife before grinning mischievously and said. "Maybe tomorrow, I'll stopping by at Old man for taking permission to have an honeymoon until our friends will gave us gifts, then take Noriko staying to my in-laws." Which getting a nod from Sakura. "Come along, saiai. The stores call."

Sakura cheered a little and led him out the door. Until they prepared breakfast, as each of them create kage bunshin of Naruto and Sakura appeared and then look each other with a nod. And prepared to pack their things to get ready for their honeymoon.

==With Hitomi - At the Random Training Grounds==

As Hitomi is now starting her new life; since she is learning dual swords style with a scroll Naruto had obtained. After the wedding; this morning its her own day. With Hitomi practicing a few slashes with her bokkens. As she needs to perfected her stance. Now as Hitomi got her message from Naruto. Hitomi will change her dream and new role; now Hitomi is still wearing the same clothes during the chunin exams. With a help of her kage bunshin; since her status is still a Jinchuuriki and a broken one too. With Kurumi will be help her with her new life and training, since Naruto overpowered her friend and partner.

Everyone from the rookie nine have been ignoring her and rejecting her. Shikamaru stop talking to her the same with Chouji, when he found out what his former parents did ignored and abuse Naruto he was upset for the way they acted towards the blond for the cause by Hitomi herself. Ino has also stop talking to her and she was ashamed that she was her best friend, during each birthdays. Kiba was furious with her parents's outburst on Naruto, they rejects Naruto for training him to be a ninja he hated her so much that he was now calling them 'monsters!'.

Shino hasn't said a word to her but he was rather disappointed with her for mistreating her brother by Minato and Kushina so badly. Rock Lee was deeply disappointed in her parents's treatment towards his former blond-turn-sunset friend, his respects with the both heroes and sannins for them vanished when he heard the things each of them said to him, it seems he was wrong about the them, he thought that they're good people but now he has change his opinion admired to Naruto about their neglected actions. Tenten was also disappointed in each of them? She thought of Kushina as her idol like Tsunade, she even told her that she give kunoichis everywhere a bad name. As for Neji, well, Hitomi didn't wanted to meet him. Hinata was the only one from the rookie twelve plus that was still talking to her, Hitomi was grateful to her but the others were thinking that sometimes she was to kind for her own good. She was about to find out how wrong she was.

':You need to focus, Hitomi. Don't get distacted!:' Kurumi stated.

'Right!'

As she double slashed in same horizontal, slashing, slash and stab, parry, counter and thrust. With Hitomi wipe out all her clones with the bokkens, until someone called her. Since she saw completely doing well without a instructor like Hayate or Yugao. As she was sweating out in her body, since the rest of the rookie were still ignoring from the announcement...and the truth... Although Hinata still had things to do at the every moment with Sasuke.

"Well...I knew you be here." Which made Hitomi turn her attention and saw Sayuri with her two training wakizashi-size bokkens on one hand in her shoulder. As she toss a water jug and with Hitomi catches it and drink it from her heat on her body.

"Thanks." Hitomi said as she return it to Sayuri.

"You're welcome." Sayuri replied as she took the jug back, before she notice her hair. "I never thought to see this...did you dyed your hair?"

"Yes, Sayuri...but what are you doing here? And how did you know?" Hitomi asked in wondering.

Sayuri smirked. "Simple...I notify my parents for some training? I was here to trained with my Yontouryu after my teachings with Yoruichi-sensei and Sasuke-nii, since I was saw someone in the training grounds with kage bunshin to spar with, that new kenjutsu you are learning? Since I look closer to your face which it made me realized it was you...Hitomi. Then you are learning to use dual wield combo with ninjatou and wakizashi, huh." She said.

Hitomi nod about it, as she was the only friend since Ino broke our her friendship. Now since Hitomi will regain her friendship soon. "Yes, since Nii-san save me from Tenmaku Uchiha."

Sayuri frown about the traitor's name. "I've heard of him? He was the younger brother of Inabi-san, one of my father's best U.P.F. Operative. I've heard of him? He is still worship Madara during the founding when Naruto-niisan healed us from the 'curse of hatred' our first Uchiha inherited that Will. Since he is still admired him." She explained. "Right after they turn our backs on him and then became a rebel and a became one of Danzo-san's Ne ANBU when Naruto-nii told us about the responsible of the Kyubi attack 13 years ago."

"I...see..." The former red-haired said.

"So...you want to spar?" Sayuri offered.

Hitomi was surprised about Sayuri's sudden change of heart. As she didn't thought of how much she lost few of her friends of the Rookie 12+, now as she asked. "But why?"

Sayuri sighed, "Itachi-niisan told me Naruto's hatred and grudge is starting to fade towards your former parents, before Naruto-nii told him to need some time? I heard you signed the emancipation to leave, after he got his reputation to be their hero now." She explained. "Since it's your path to regained your redemption, since you had your coincidence when you defend Konoha...so few the villagers saw you defend the kids...so I will help your support to regained your pride." Which made Hitomi disbelief of how she did save few people. As the purple haired feminine stared at the ground of how much that the cost.

"Thank you...Sayuri-chan."

"Hn." Sayuri replied. "Come on...you don't want to see Naruto-nii and Sakura-chan are going on the honeymoon tomorrow for their departure."

"Nii-san and Sakura are going on the honeymoon tomorrow!" Hitomi disbelief.

Sayuri nodded. "All the Rookie 12+ needs to meeting at the Yakiniku Q. Everyone was going there...you're coming?" He insisted.

As Hitomi was insisted to going there. Since she was invited now. She couldn't deny it but replied. "Sure, Sayuri... I'll go." Getting a smile from Sayuri.

"But you better select a gift? Since Nii-san got ours prepared for Naruto-niisan and Sakura-chan." Sayuri said, getting a nod from Hitomi since she will find a gift for Naruto.

==At Yakiniku Q Restaurant==

All the rookie 12+ plus Karin, Tayuya and Kin were enjoyed their times seating and eating together. Since before Tayuya and Kin were released from the prison and gave them a 24/7 watch. Since Haku and Shizuka were spending time together when they're on a date; since Shizuka's mother; Sayaki allows her daughter to stayed Konoha for have her own daughter will be the next leader before Haku's decide when he can go to Nadeshiko whenever he pleased. Laughing about they enjoyed the buffet.

As Chouji, the usual one always eats meat whenever he wants, it was his favorite BBQ Restaurant. With Yuzu is starting to like him after all when she was invited to his parents place when they tried to made curry. It was delicious, seriously. Since Karin meet Karin? Since having same names as each other; so called themselves by surnames like Kurosaki or Uzumaki, or Kuro (black) Karin and Aka (red) Karin? Its because of their hair of course; considering as a nickname for sure; only each Karin only. Since those two were pretty get along just fine. Also...Kiba and Kin were starting going out; gaining a congrats from Tayuya and Karin for their first date soon. As Shikamaru the same usual boring stuff, while Ino were having time for eating less fat meat. As Akamaru were not allowed to have pets in the restaurant; so Kiba will gave him some later.

Also as for Shino...well Shino, of course. Since it was his first time for being with Nadeshiko kunoichi; Chiaki was completely understanding when Shibi knew about the Nadeshiko. Since he gave his blessing to her, if Shino will spend time and get to know her better. Since Sayaki will considered her as bodyguard for her daughter in part-time. As for Lee and Yakumo, after the Invasion and the wedding? They been trained each other and the taijutsu specialist were having time to control his inner-powers; 'Sanshō̄o', while Yakumo improving her genjutsu under guidance of Kurenai; after the wedding? She had new clothes during her training with Lee and Naruto with his Rokushiki; She wore a long sleeved dark green Kimono with pink linings with a black obi sash that held it together with a pair of biker shorts under it and wore a mesh shirt under the kimono and dark blue sandals. As for Kurenai? She did secretly spending time with Asuma when they came in this restaurant for some lunch with their students; it was their celebration of Naruto and Sakura's wedding.

Also there's Yugao and Hayate; since after Hayate was discharged from the Hospital with his condition his healed by Sakura. And also Gai was invited after all minus Kakashi? Since he still had his issues after all. And also the Ichigo Group; Renji went to Ichirakus to spend time with Ayame, Shuhei is with Shizune, while the rest of the Gotei 13 were in the Soul Society minus the their lieutenants. Keigo, Chizuru, Mizuiro and Tatsuki?

Tatsuki got her first sight about a man's named when Itachi brought him here for celebrate...one of the best Uchiha genjutsu specialist, and the best ANBU besides Itachi; he is a friend of his, and the man can use his shunshin or body flicker; he had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that were turned upwards at each end. In the anime however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. And his face is resembling of Kagami Uchiha.

His name is Shisui Uchiha, renowned as "Shunshin no Shisui (Shisui of the Body Flicker or Shisui the Teleporter"), he had great mastery of the Shunshin no Justsu (Body Flicker Technique). Shisui would often make practical uses of the Body Flicker Technique to fade out of sight, leaving no trace of either his presence or his destination. He often made use of this to signal private meetings with Itachi whenever he was with company. In battle, his speed was shown able to seamlessly dodge barrages of projectiles from his enemy and likewise outpace them. He was also a proficient taijutsu user, able to defeat Itachi in several sparring matches.

Shisui's mastery of the Sharingan rivalled that of Itachi's, since his best friend had his final stage; that cause him jealous with admitted of how Naruto did create a pair of sharingan for his own to transplanted; both being highly praised for their noticeably high skill and sheer power in its usage. Since Tatsuki went approach to Shusui to greet him, which the master of body flicker couldn't help of how this girl is so...so...beautiful. So they introduce themselves and talk each other before starting eating and/or while eating.

Now there's Sasuke and Hinata along with Itachi and Hana? Since Sasuke and Hinata were spending time together after all. Since Sasuke still spending time with Hinata; since during the meeting with Hiashi and Mariko after the wedding.

==Flashback Started==

"Hiashi-sama, Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha have arrived." The Hyuuga branch member said as he appeared in Hiashi's study. Since her wife return to the Soul Society after their discussion about the future.

"Tell them to enter." Hiashi said and the branch member nodded before opening the door and letting our couple enter the study.

"It's an honor to meet you, Hiashi-sama." Sasuke said as he bowed.

"It's an honor to meet you too, Sasuke-sama. My daughter has told me so much about you. Please sit down." Hiashi said as he instructed the couple who nodded and then sat down.

"Why…did you call us here…tou-san?" Hinata asked.

"I'll get right down to the point; Uchiha Sasuke, I want to give you my daughter's hand in marriage." Hiashi said.

"NANI?" The couple yelled.

"F…father! Are you serious?" Hinata asked, blushing.

"Of course I am, Hinata. Sasuke is strong, the last of his clan known for their kekkai genkai and on top of that, he's the one that helped you become stronger. Sasuke, did you know Hinata trounced her sister during their latest sparring match and even matched up against Neji?" Hiashi asked the Uchiha.

"Really? You really did all that Hina-chan?" Sasuke asked Hinata.

"Y…yes. I…I even started to work on my own specialized Jyuuken, Sasuke-kun." Hinata replied.

"That's awesome, Hina-chan!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"And it is because of that I chose you to become her husband. I already discussion with Fugaku about this, since he and his wife accepted my daughter to be their in-law. The council wanted to give her someone else but I convinced them that you were the right fit and the effects you have on her is the proof we need. Also, it would help unite the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan together forming a powerful alliance. Now of course, I don't expect you two to get married right away, this is just a formal meeting in order to finalize everything. Sasuke Uchiha, do you object to any of this?" Hiashi asked. "Since you trained her to a Quincy, since the Elders were already discussion about our ancestor is also a Quincy? Each of us trying to learned its arts. So...you can help us with those arts."

"Of course not. It would be my honor to marry Hina-chan!" Sasuke said, making her blush. "And I will be the Founder and the Chief of U.H.A.Q.D; the Uchiha-Hyuga Alliance Quincy Division? Since I will be the man can recreate the Quincy arsenals and Uryu-sensei gave me some tips, and even if the Sharingan provide to kill the target with a predict movements, and counter it as well, while the Byakugan provide a long-range attack if two doujutsu together. since Naruto-senpai will need some time to have theories about the mutation of two doujutsus, and if he guess about the mutation will be 5% or less about it."

"I see. Since if Naruto-san is correct or not. Then will be no choice to leave it that." Hiashi said.

"Let's hope so, when the future came." Sasuke stated.

"And what about you my dear daughter. Do you mind having Uchiha Sasuke as your husband?" Hiashi asked.

"I…I would be more than happy….for Sasuke-kun to be my husband." Hinata said blushing.

"Okay then, since you two consent, I'll simply go and tell the council about this. But before you two leave, I need to tell you something Sasuke." Hiashi said.

"What is it, Hyuuga-sama?" Sasuke asked.

"If you do anything and I mean anything to cause discomfort or misery to my daughter, I will personally kill you. Understood?" Hiashi warned Sasuke with his Byakugan activated.

"H…Hai, H…Hyuuga-sama." Sasuke replied, nodding his head in fear.

"Okay then, you two may leave." Hiashi said and the couple nodded and bowed before leaving. Then, the Hyuuga branch member from before re-entered the room.

"Hiashi-sama, do you think it is wise to marry your daughter to a Uchiha?" The man asked as he said the name Uchiha with some distaste in his voice.

"I understand your concern Koji and if it was with any other Uchiha then I would have objected but you see, Sasuke is extremely different from any Uchiha I have ever met. Unlike them, he does not carry an air of utmost arrogance though he is confident and he respects everyone and is fiercely loyal to his nakama, since Naruto have them to change their heart. But also, anyone who can make my daughter smile the way he does is worthy of her hand in marriage. Does that answer your question, Koji?" Hiashi asked.

"Yes, Hiashi-sama." Koji replied.

==At outside of the Hyuga Estate==

"Man Hina-chan, your dad can be very scary." Sasuke said as he and Hinata were walking around the Hyuuga Estates.

"He…he can be though it is mostly because he wants to protect me." Hinata replied.

"I know...same goes with your cousin Neji." Sasuke stated.

"What did you mean?" Hinata asked, surprised at the comment.

"Well..." Sasuke replied for some explanation during the Chunin Exams.

'==Inside Flasback - Start - During the Chunin Exams=='

Sasuke decided to explore the place since he had nothing else better to do. While he was walking he took out his naughty picture of Hinata in the hot springs, getting a huge blush and a bit of a nose. As he was about to put it away he bumped into somebody.

"Watch where you are going Uchiha?!" Neji spoke with a glare.

"Sorry!" Sasuke apologized, about to put the picture away, but Neji grabbed.

"What is this?" Neji said as he was about to look at it. Sasuke quickly took it back.

"It's nothing." Sasuke said as he put the picture away, but he then felt a massive amount of killer intent from Neji. Sasuke turned to the Hyuuga to see a menacing aura around him and his eyes shaded by darkness.

"I knew you were no good!" Neji said, his KI rising with every second. Sasuke just looked at him with one thought in his mind.

'Oh shit!'

'==Inside Flashback Ended=='

"Did you..." Hinata is about say about her boyfriend is a peeking tom unlike Jiraya. Since Neji chasing around the tower for the picture he taken, secretly. He hope if Hinata will beat him into a pulp.

"I know I'm such a pervert when comes in the hot springs. So slap me." Sasuke explained felt regret, with his eyes closed before he receive a slap, then instead a slap, a tap a chin which he open his eyes and saw Hinata smiled.

"Its okay, since I'm a kunoichi. I am allowed myself to make my own damn decisions. I love you, Sasuke-kun, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you if we'll 16 or more, and start a family with you like Naruto-san and Sakura-san. Plus...I will always be with you." Hinata said with passion and conviction. "But...next time...don't do that, okay."

Sasuke smiled of how Hinata's words.

"And...I love you," Hinata said as she kissed him passionately.

Sasuke's eyes widened when he felt Hinata's lips on his. They were soft and they felt perfect on his lips. After a minute they both pulled away, each had a dreamy look on their face.

"Guess that means we're official, right?" Sasuke asked.

Hinata nod and replied. "Yes, Sasuke-kun...it is...come on, I just want to have your parents blessing for sure."

"Guess you're right." Sasuke replied.

==Flashback Ended==

"Yeah, she told me she will need some training to do with Yontouryu." The Uchiha Quincy said. Getting everyone had his point.

==At the Yakiniku Q Restaurant - Outside in the Entrance==

Hitomi was nervous to see the rest of the Rookie 12+? Since Sayuri will accompany her for facing Naruto and Sakura for being newlywed married at the time. Since she is holding a present box on her hands; a white bow with red ribbon, since she couldn't find the right gift for her only twin brother. As her biju suggested.

':You sure, about this?:'

'Yeah...this time...I will make things right.' Hitomi replied.

When Sayuri called. "Come on. Let's go." Getting a nod from Hitomi then Sayuri went to the entrance and opens it.

==Inside the Yakiniku Q Restaurant==

As the everyone turn attention on the entrance, before they heard the sliding door opens, which they saw Sayuri came in, and then Naruto felt a signature along with Sakura, as the sunset-blond turn his head and saw Hitomi came in, as the rest of the rookies recognized that face minus her hair. As Hitomi hide the present and went to the seat behind the rest, since Sayuri sigh about this.

With Naruto and turn his glance at Itachi. "Did you tell Sayuri about this?" He asked.

"Yes, since she or myself will pay the meals for herself." Itachi replied, which Naruto was silent about this.

"Naruto-kun...hope you need to let it go...it doesn't concern you." Sakura stated, which made Naruto sighed.

"Fine...guess she needs to let her be...alone." Naruto replied. Which made everyone have their point now, and continue their celebration.

'Naruto...I suggested that it's time to gave her a chance since you gave her your designs.' Zangetsu stated.

'Yeah, since this is why I had to stop my grudge, now.' Naruto replied.

As Naruto called the waitress until she came in. "Gave her some same order, since I will do the paying." Which made the waitress turn her head at the former red-head turns out that it was same girl during the finals.

Which the waitress hesitated and replied. "Eh...Hai." As she went to the kitchen to gave a order.

Itachi saw it with a smirked. 'I know you can do this, and gave her a chance after Hitomi...then your parents.'

==Hours Later==

Naruto head jerked out, as he forgetting about give some new weapons to Sasuke and Chouji. As he took a scroll on his shihakusho; getting attention from everyone. As unrolled the scroll for need some space. Unsealed a hammer appeared out in the seal with a poof of smoke; which getting TenTen's eyes landed on the hammer. Almost immediately, her eyes lit up.

'What a beautiful hammer...I've got to go see it. WAIT! I can't give myself from those conversation! But it's so shiny, and sharp on the back of the hammer, and...GET A GRIP! Must ...not...steal...hammer.'

"Whoa, Naruto. Is that a new weapon?" TenTen curious.

"It sure, does." Naruto replied, as he grab the hammer.

'Let's hope Naruto will be giving me that hammer!' TenTen thought.

"Here, I think you could put this to good use, Chouji." Naruto handed Chouji a Kyojū Hanmā (Behemoth Hammer) he had made the newest weapons; which made TenTen flinch which she saw Naruto gave the hammer to Chouji. It had a long handle, with a a blade bayonet behind the hammer; black colored. "This is a Kyojū Hanmā (Behemoth Hammer). I forged by myself with the forge hammer I obtained it."

Chouji took the hammer, slightly straining under it's weight and light. "Whoa, this hammer is light and not heavy? How did you can able to made the hammer lighter?"

"I forge this into a gravity hammer? Since the you can channel your chakre through the handle and strike or slam it on the ground and create a shockwave emits a kinetic pulse about ~4.5 meters.

"Thanks, Naruto." Chouji said. "Since Tou-san will be pleased for having this weapon for fitting with some of my clan's fighting style."

"That's good to hear." Naruto replied. "And now..." As he rolled the scroll for another one, and unsealed the Shin Shusui, that made TenTen's eyes more sparkled from the sword.

"Naruto, is that one of your Shusuis'!" TenTen exclaimed. Which made everyone admitted about Naruto's new weapons.

"Yup, but no...this is no ordinary Shusui, since its a great sword - Shin Shusui was once by the legendary Samurai sword I was able to re-create its capabilities. Now if someone became its owner, the sword will be pleased. Since I made this new black sword for Sasuke if this blade possessed it power to tremendously increase the damage potential and destructive power of the user. While it is capable of dealing heavy blows and is extremely hard, and makes it harder to wield."

"Its harder to wield it?" Sasuke asked before stepped.

"Yup, its quite a bit heavier than Yubashiri." Which made Sasuke eyes widen, turning his gaze at his sword is strapped on his back. As Naruto continue. "Which was extremely light, so it could be anywhere from normal weight to a good deal heavier than normal swords."

"I see." TenTen understood.

"Can't believe it...Itachi is right! Naruto-kun did made weapons and seals." Shisui admitted. "I just want that Shusui katana, since my name and the sword is kinda opposite." Which made Naruto flinch of a certain interest. As the orange-blond turn his head at Shisui and replied.

"Come by at my shop after our celebration." Getting a nod at Shisui.

"So...can I have that sword like my Shigure?" TenTen said gave him a puppy eyes.

"Hmm..." Naruto frowned, when TenTen have hope for have the same sword, as he toss at Sasuke before he think fast by grab the sheath that shocks him, looking at Naruto with wondered. "I believe Sasuke is the only choice to have Shin Shusui have his possession."

"NO FAIR, NARUTO!" TenTen exclaimed.

"Sorry, TenTen." Sakura said. "Since Naruto-kun constructed each weapon for joining Naruto's organization." Which getting Hitomi interest about Sakura mention about the organization.

"The Organization?" TenTen asked wondering.

"Yes, when rest of the Rookie 12+ gained or earned the promotion or have great leadership or skills or experience. Since with me and Sakura-chan were founders, so...Sasuke and Shikamaru were the only candidate to joined the organization." Naruto explained which made the everyone amazed about the organization he and Sakura formed.

With Ichigo smirked and guessed. "Let me guess...you are forming a Neo-Gotei 13, correct?" Which made the Ichigo's friends surprised about Naruto did name the organization after the Soul Society's Gotei 13.

"Are you serious?" Rukia surprised, getting a nod from Ichigo.

"Yup, it was serious." Ichigo replied. "Since Naruto and Sakura formed the Organization, so Naruto will left before Sakura will do the rest? Since both founders will witnessed each of the rookies experience and skills, since that's why Naruto select Sasuke and Shikamaru to be in this organization."

"I see." Orihime understand.

"Troublesome, guess old man did have me in this troublesome organization, while drinking with Shunsui-san." Shikamaru stated complained.

"Oh, lighten up, Shikamaru. Since our dads did made friends with the Shinigami captains after all." Ino said, before continue. "I hope I can be in this organization too."

"It better piggy." Sakura mocked causing Ino irritated.

As Ino took out her tessen. "You wanna fight! Since you've been in the hospital for those procedures if I can joined in the Medical-core, Forehead!?" Then Sakura stood and drew her zanpakuto.

"Oh, I'm hell in the ready, piggy! Since you can't catch up and match with my knowledge after I married with Naruto-kun!"

"Guess I will be going tell Shizune-san if that's okay!"

"Bring it on, porker!"

As the lightning shoots out on their eyes and clashing each other with a catfight. Everyone in the table sweat-dropped about that seen.

Naruto was chuckled about this scene is prepared to stop. "Girls, girls. You two can't fight in the restaurant if you want a major incident." Which made Sakura and Ino calm down and return their seats and take another bite from the piece of the barbecue meat.

As Sasuke draw the sword on its sheath with a surprised look about the blade is purplish black like the normal Shusui with a distinct crimson red hamon. Its crimson red hamon (hardening line) is Kanemoto style, having the appearance of a saw or sharp teeth. With a whistle of Sasuke. "Wow. Guess this blade has one heck in a "temper" there."

"It is, Sasuke." Naruto replied. "Guess its yours."

"Thanks, senpai." Sasuke replied, as he place the sword besides the kusanagi after he had discarded and displayed his sword to his home. Which made TenTen pout of how disappointed about Naruto didn't receive new weapons if you are willing to join the organization by earned and gain more experience.

"Well...were we better enjoy each other." Chad stated which made everyone nod for agreed, as they start eating and chatting each other. As Ino turn her eyes at Hitomi eating alone at the time and watching them to enjoying each other.

==With Hitomi==

'Is this what I felt alone and ignored when Nii-san was watching us during our birthday... Did he...always feel like this?' Hitomi thought feeling sad, she watching at Naruto and Sakura's celebration with his friends and family. As she starting eating her meal with chopsticks...alone. Since she felt a shame for all those years blaming herself that drove and drift her only brother she had. Now things will be completely worst when Naruto left the Namikaze family...now...she is now her brother's shadow...completely.

"I know how you felt." A voice called her, which getting her attention and saw Isshin sitting front of her. "I know Naruto did made you and your former family's life miserably...he was completely upset and disappointed at you and the rest when he told us about you." With his eyes closed with disappointed. "I did love my kids and include Ichigo when my wife Misaki died that day."

Hitomi went silent for not replied, with Isshin saw her expression about how she felt regret, with a sighed, "Listen, kid. I know Naruto did defeat you after all...since you left a scar on your cheek and the other is on stomach." Which made her chopsticks stop to able reach to eat it of how she remember when she got two scars.

Isshin continue. "You better apologized with my grandnephew Naruto after all... He is now have his own time is now." As he stood and said. "Enjoy yourself kiddo. And good luck for regain your redemption." As he walk towards everyone before she heard 'KANPAI!' from everyone. As Hitomi took the glass and raise in the air and said. "Kanpai."

==At Night - Outside at the Yakiniku Q Restaurant==

With Many of their friends bit for farewell and prepared to leave before Naruto paid the bills along with Sakura and Sasuke? Since each of them knew Chouji is always ate on his appetite when Yuzu came around, since now they are separate ways; as Chouji (before saying goodbye to Yuzu) and Shikamaru are heading home now before they separate part, then Ino is heading home alone with TenTen since her place is not far from Ino's flower shop, Shino heading home with Chiaki, then Haku and Shizuka as well heading to penthouse building, then Kiba were heading home with Akamaru and...Kin; since she will staying at the Inuzuka Compound? Since Tsume and Hana like her if they want a sister or daughter-in-law which made Kiba embarrassed, then Sasuke and Hinata went home with Itachi, Sayuri and Shusui for saying good bye for Tatsuki, then the Ichigo group along with Karin (Uzumaki) were heading to where Haku and Shizuka is heading to Naruto's penthouse. Which leaving Naruto and Sakura remain in the table before its between former siblings in the different table.

"So...why are you here?" Naruto asked, which made Hitomi eyes widen for a sudden question, as she stood and took out the box and went to Naruto and place in the table and Hitomi replied.

"It's your...um...wedding present."

Which Naruto stared at the present which if he did not hesitated and then he grab the box with Sakura was curious of what's inside, as he untie the bow and opens it reveal to be something that causing Naruto surprised of he had recognized...it was a Uzumaki pendant; a small red swirl pendant with small chain for its neck; it was the time Naruto didn't have the same pendent when her was 3 or less. Since Naruto didn't have since when Kushina considered as a Disgrace Uzumaki for what she made a mess.

Which he didn't have one now...is now he accepted. "Thank you...for this gift." As he stood and went to the Entrance with Sakura left behind. Hitomi was completely disbelief of how Naruto did gave her a chance now. As purple head turn her eyes at Sakura and spoke.

"Take care of Nii-san, okay."

Which made Sakura nod, then stood and replied. "I will...since you need to keep yourself worthy to regain your friendship. And til then...You better have to made your decision for your life's worth," That cause Hitomi gasp with her eyes widen of her words. As Sakura finished. "Hope you better take care yourself, and good evening." Now she walk away leaving herself in the table, before the waitress saw Hitomi with her eyes widen.

"You better head home, now." The waitress informed. "It's getting dark."

Getting a nod from Hitomi and stood and prepared to leave. Once she was outside then which she turn her head on her attention and saw Shizune with TonTon besides her with her arms crossed and eyes closed. "I knew if you are attending to harmed Naruto-kun for all the things during years of his neglected life." As she open her eyes and continue. "Naruto-kun gave you a chance, does he?" Which made Hitomi nod.

"Yes, all I want is to make things right, since everything of my life is completely restore if I had my new dream for be a teacher instead being a first Female Hokage for my dreams. I just...I want to be a proper kunoichi instead being a daughter of the hero." Hitomi said with sad and regret expression of how much her life almost fades, getting a sighed from Shizune.

"Look Hitomi...if you want to gain more forgiveness and regained your redemption...its time for you to cross paths to be in a normal..." Shizune said. "So which path you take...? Stay being shunned and ignored...or create your own new path?" Which made Hitomi silent of which path she'll take; since with Hitomi left the Namikaze family and made her own new life for herself without her parents support and her godparents.

Hitomi take a deep breath and replied. "I choose...to create my own new path." She declared, which made Shizune smiled.

"Good answer, Hitomi...you will be now recruited in the medical core, and you have some lot to learn to be finished your skills." Which made Hitomi surprised with a smile as she bow and replied.

"Thank you, Shizune-san!"

Shizune chuckled of how she's like her former mother after all. Since she stated. "Good...now your training will be start two days."

Hitomi stood and nod. "I will Shizune-senpai! I will made my own nindo, Dattebayo!" Which made clap her hand on her mouth with made her embarrass about her verbal tic. As she clear her throat and said. "I better go now, Shizune. Good night!" As she turn and ran to her apartment leaving Shizune and TonTon tonight.

"Well...guess she got her spirit back...guess this will be interesting after all."

==Next Day -At the Gates of Konoha==

Naruto and Sakura stood in front of one of the Konoha's main gates with each with their belongings ready, two backpacks slung over their shoulders that had various clothing and some storage scroll contained inside it (and gifts). The gates were wide open, ready for him to set off and make their way to their first honeymoon. Now all the Rookie 12+ were in the gates of Konoha along with Sakura's parents or Naruto's in-laws along with their adopted daughter.

Naruto smiled. Shortly after he had given Chouji the gravity hammer, Chouza had come over, to thank him for giving Chouji a weapon that actually fit with some of the Akimichi fighting style. All ready, Chouji was working hard to get used to his new weapon, so that when he could, he would be able to use it to protect his friends.

Now Everyone from Rookie 12+ except Hitomi came with their Senseis to say goodbye to Naruto and Sakura. Next was Shizune, Mikoto, Yoruichi, Kisuke and Hiruzen. He hugged all three of them as Hiruzen gave wish them for their new life. Naruto was more than happy to accept. Rest of Ichigo's friends went back to their world via Senkaimon.

"So, that means we're going, now." Naruto declared.

"well, squirt, we be seeing you at 2 weeks when we had our schooling." Ichigo said.

"Yes, guess we will be going now." Naruto replied.

"Good luck, Naruto." Orihime said. "Take care."

"I know, Orihime-neechan." Naruto replied.

"We will be seeing you and Sakura soon, Naruto." Rukia say goodbye to his lil'brother figure or nephew.

"Thanks, Rukia-neechan." Naruto replied as turn his glance at Renji. "You are going to remain here for a while?"

"Yes, Naruto-Sōtaichō (Captain-General/Captain-Commander)." Renji replied gave him a salute.

"Sōtaichō?" Naruto confused.

"Yes, Ichigo told me that you established your organization so you and Sakura-taichō (Captain/Unit Commander) were founders of your organization." Renji explained, before asked. "So its okay if I call you Sōtaichō?"

Naruto nod. "Only if we on a mission." Getting a nod from the lieutenant. As he went to Sakura and her parents.

"And don't forget use protection." Sakura's mother; Mebuki stated only to Sakura blush like mad .

"Mom!" Sakura yelled with irritation embarrassed.

"Just take care with our son-in-law." Kizashi said.

"I know." Sakura replied.

"Come on, Sakura-chan! We're leaving." Naruto called Sakura he walked towards them and made sure he had everything before turning back to look at everyone.

"We'll will see you all in 2 weeks or days more!" He said as everyone waved back at him and said more goodbyes before Naruto and Sakura walk to the road and left.

==With Hitomi==

Hitomi saw Naruto and Sakura are leaving for their honeymoon against the pole. Now she attend to see them off now. Which many of the villagers were happy to see Naruto and Sakura for their honeymoon.

Besides, back during the Third Shinobi War, it wasn't all that uncommon for spouses to find each other while young, especially since genin were crucial for stealth and sabotage missions. It usually happened along the lines of a boy and a girl to be paired off and sent to go destroy some critical target, only to succeed in the mission and go into hiding while the enemy looked for them. That type of closeness only grew more and more, allowing the two to learn each others strengths, weaknesses, personalities – basically anything and everything there was to know about the person who might die alongside you. If they both survived and got sent back to Konoha, they often found themselves gravitating to each other, usually in the two getting to know each other to an almost scary degree before getting married in the end.

Now Naruto and Sakura got their dreams came true...to be husband and wife...and a family...

==At the Moment==

As Naruto and Sakura make their way to somewhere make sure if many people came through and saw Two Autobot escorts stood patiently waiting as they readied to escort them to the first honeymoon destination. Since Optimus sending Arcee and Drift.

With Sakura spoke before glancing at Arcee and Drift. "You must be Arcee and Drift of what my husband to me."

Arcee nod. "That's right, since Naruto called us for a ride after all."

So...shall we?"

Nodding to the two Autobots he walked towards them and made sure he had everything before turning back to look at everyone. As Drift transforms into a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Car, while Arcee turn into a motorcycle. Which both Naruto and Sakura learned to do such like transports. As the transport door opens with Naruto and Sakura get on, with that and they drove off; as unknown to them. As the Akatsuki Zetsu emerges at the ground.

"So...it has seems the brat and his wife are on their little honeymoon." White Zetsu said.

"I agreed. We better report this, since its our opportunity to tell them we will keep our low-profile until we'll ready to obtained the Jinchuuriki." The Black said.

"You sure about that...since the Autobots came here to ruined Galvatron-dono's scheming for sure." White Zetsu stated.

"Guess we better report now." Black Zetsu replied as the plant Akatsuki sunk in the ground.

==Meanwhile==

The newlywed couple had stopped on the border to Nami via Drift in vehicle mode, right where Tazuna's bridge began. Sakura was laying down besides Naruto slightly, though she was quite proud of herself for keeping up with the others. Seems Sode no Shirayuki really did change my body to help with the transition. Still, I need to make sure I do some pretty heavy endurance training in the near future until they reach to Nami. Kami only knows what would happen if I tried to use her own kekkei genkai for extended periods of time right now. As they arrived in base from the bridge, with the Autobots were remain hidden and guard this position.

She straightened and moving towards Naruto, who gave her a slightly worried look. "You alright, saiai (love)?"

Sakura just smiled and kissed his cheek. "Don't worry, koi. You know as well as I do that I had been slacking off in my physical training before. I'm just slightly winded, that's all."

Naruto nodded his head before taking her hand and leading everyone across the bridge. Naruto stretched a little and sighed happily. "I do so love the ocean. The very smell of it relaxes me."

Naruto smiled softly and nodded his head. Sakura noticed this and smiled herself before leaning in to catch the corner of his lips with her own. She then said, "I wonder how everyone is. It's been nearly a year since we left."

Naruto grinned. "Tazuna's more than likely still a drunkard, and Inari's probably having to beat the girls off with a stick because of his rugged studliness from inciting the village to drive out Gato's men. Tsunami's also going nuts trying to keep them both in line, especially now that her little boy is a girl magnet."

Sakura playfully smacked his chest, though her own grin showed that she was thinking the same thing. "Don't you dare start turning that boy into a pervert. Let him grow older before he has to worry about such things."

Naruto's grin turned more mischievous than before, and he swooped down to pick his wife up into his arms, making her squeal a little as he carried her bridal-style. He kissed her forehead before saying, "Awww, but Sakura, you know as well as I do that the moment he finds out we're married, he's most likely to go and try to find the girl that's destined for him as well. After all, he's going to need a strong, dependable woman of his own to keep him in line."

Sakura blushed some more and threw her arms around his neck, sing-songing, "Remember, koi, flattery is everythiiiing~"

They shared a quick peck on the lips before separating to laugh, and Arcee smiled as she rolled her eyes? Since she did remained of Optimus (Orion) and his sister Elita. Since when comes with humans were bonding for sure. With Sode no Shirayuki in Sakura's mind along with Inner-Sakura.

Dear Kami, if they're already acting like this when they're sixteen now, I doubt I would have to wait long for my grandbabies. The thought of little blond-and-pink haired with orange-and-lavender highlights babies with blue and green eyes filled Sode no Shirayuki with a grandmotherly glee she didn't even know she possessed, since they have Noriko for sure, which would have bothered her on a normal occasion, but she found that she really didn't care with all the happiness being sent into the air.

After a little bit of walking (mostly just for the sake of looking at the beautiful scenery), walkiing to a cliff and saw a whole view of a town that sparked her memory, until soon they exited the forest, the group stopped at an enormous sign that spanned the width of the bridge. Their widened eyes were filled with shock – and in the case of the Autobots, confusion – as they took in the words carved to read, "The Great Naruto Bridge."

Sakura slowly turned to the boy and said, "Naruto, I didn't realize that they had named this after you."

Before the boy could say anything, Drift called over from one of the pillars, "Hey, look over here!"

On one of the pillars sat a bronze plaque, which Drift read aloud:


"Let it be known that it was at this spot where a young tokubetsu genin of Konoha named Naruto Kurosaki showed this village what it meant to hope. It was here that he and his team – his girlfriend genin Sakura Haruno, and Team 7; genin Sasuke, Sayuri, Hitomi, their jounin teacher Kakashi Hatake and Hitomi's mother Kushina – fought and defeated the Demon of the Bloody Mist, Zabuza Momochi and his apprentice Haku. When the tyrant Gato, who was choking this village of all life and happiness, came to betray Zabuza, it was Naruto who he against the tyrant by unleashing his beast within him. Let it be known that it was here that a man redeemed himself in the eyes of Kami by fighting by joining his new hope, because of the words of a young boy who never stopped believing in the goodness of others. When the tyrant fell, this young boy and his team made their stand on this bridge to help the village fight off the mercenaries under Gato's employ. May it be forever known that this boy will be called the Hero of Wave for as long as this village continues to exist."


Naruto's eyes teared up a little as he grinned, while Sakura smiled widely and snuggled into his chest more. She reached up and cupped his cheek, causing him to look at her. Some tears of her own were in her green eyes as she leaned in and quietly said, "Do you see now just how important you are? Not just to me, not just to Optimus or Shizune, but to an entire country you helped save. You brought these people happiness and hope when they needed it the most, and they would have been more than devastated if you had ever died. Even when Konoha is realized of how they looked at you, you would always be a hero in the eyes of these people here."

When he nodded, she kissed him again and jumped down to the ground before snatching his hand and leading past the gate at a running pace.

"Looks like your reputation in the ninja world's off to a good start." Arcee comment.

"Yeah, guess that's our stop, right?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, since we wait for the Decepticons for reveal themselves in the light when the time came." Drift said getting a nod from Naruto and Sakura.

"We'll patrol here, and you go on a fun." Arcee declared.

"Thanks Arcee-san. But...try not to do some boring patrols like Izumo and Kotetsu."

"Oh! You mean those two guards were sitting around doing nothing but watching the gates in day in and out?"

Naruto smirked along with Sakura. "Yup...since those two of my brother-figures were doing nothing after all." He replied.

With Arcee and Drift look each other then turn their heads at Naruto and Sakura, with Drift. "We'll keep that in mind? Since I will doing my own meditation while guarding this spot."

"And I'll scout ahead for any trouble." Arcee added.

Naruto and Sakura couldn't help with a chuckled with Sakura spoke. "Guess if Izumo-san and Kotetsu-san will do some...weird like Lee-san and Gai-sensei." Which made her hushand shiver his spine and shoulders of what Naruto's other brother-figure after all. Which the two autobots were keeping in mind.

==At Nami no Kuni's New construct Watchtower==

It had been a quiet day so far. More often than not, the only people who crossed the bridge were merchant caravans and the occasional tourist, but it had seemed like there wasn't much of anyone today. Still, it was important that someone keep a lookout, and that was the reason for the watchtower. Basically, the tower was large stone spire with a guard's outpost at the top, outfitted with several multi-range binoculars and telescopes to keep an eye on any activities that happened around or on the bridge. While all of the mercenaries formerly under Gato's employ had been chased out of Wave, there was always the chance that some of them would try and avenge their boss or try to pass on structural weaknesses in the bridge to some other crime lord. The idea was that if the guards on the Watchtower saw them in time, then the newly-formed militia would be able to run the intruders off before they could destroy any of the pillars.

Tashi yawned a little before returning to watching. It was a good thing the shifts changed every few days. Having to do this boring work would have driven him mad if he had to do it for weeks on end. He had heard some rumors about two ninjas over in Konoha who did nothing but watch the gates day in and day out for the last several years. Tashi didn't really know what drove them to do this, but he figured laziness probably had something to do with it.

Or maybe they were homosexual and used the down time for the two men to be..."alone". Hell if Tashi knew, and he didn't really want to.

==Back in Konoha==

Two men sneezed simultaneously in their seats before looking at each other briefly and sighing loudly.

"Hey, Kotetsu?"

"Yeah, Izumo?"

The first man lowered his head and said, "Why is it that everyone thinks we're gay? Is it the fact that we always do gate duty together?"

The second shrugged while, inwardly, he grinned mischievously. "Don't know. Now shut up and cuddle with me."

"WHAT?!" Izumo screamed as he fell out of his chair, while Kotetsu just laughed, thinking, 'Idiot.'

==Back in Nami - Watchtower==

So far, the only traffic today had been a few early merchants who had journeyed through the night. Whatever it was that they had been carrying, they were desperate enough to risk bandits and wild animals to get here. Tashi didn't know if their destination was here or elsewhere, but it must have been important if they were willing to go to such risk. Aside from that, though, the rest of the day had been quiet.

Tashi was about to go and switch places with Iori, the other guard on duty, to take a break, until he gazed out on the bridge one last time and noticed something heading towards them at a running pace. Zooming in, his mouth dropped a little when he saw a familiar blond boy with orange highlights from months back being led by his pink-haired with lavender highlights teammate. He then smiled widely and turned to shout down the hatch, "Hey, Iori! Get Elder Tazuna to the square, and soon!"

A bleary-eyed older man snapped out of his nap from the yell, looked up from where he was sleeping and rubbed his eyes. "Why, Tashi? What's the emergency?"

"Man, get your ass in gear! The Hero of Wave's returned!"

The group was getting closer to the town proper, but they began to slow when they noticed several of the townspeople gathering to meet them. Slightly confused, they slowed down a little, until Naruo happened to see an old man with a sake bottle and a kid in a bucket hat at the front waving at him and calling his name. Grinning, he picked up the pace again, reaching the cheering crowd in a matter of seconds. Laughing, he pulled Inari into a quick brotherly hug before lightly punching Tazuna on the shoulder.

The old man laughed and returned the gesture. "Naruto, you crazy little kid! What are you doing all the way out here? Now look at you two? You look like 16."

Naruto laughed again. "Yeah, we been training for during the chunin exams? Since we had a 'special' room for allowed myself and Sakura-chan for training about 2 years in that room and change our age. Maybe I just came here to see how you all were doing! Still as drunk as ever, I see!"

Tazuna, rather than get angry, just smiled and took a swig from the bottle. "What can I say, kid? Life has been good for all of us, and I'm still kicking. No reason not to celebrate!"

Inari was practically bouncing in place as he rapidly asked, "Are you guys staying for a little while, Naruto?"

Sakura giggled as she strode up to Naruto's side and pecked his cheek. "Probably for a few days, Inari. Things have been hectic back in the village, and we just needed a breather for a little bit."

Several of the people gaped slightly at Sakura's gesture, before Inari let a sly grin onto his face and asked, "Hey, Naruto, are you and Sakura... you knooooow?" He raised his pinky finger in a crooked fashion.

Sakura blushed and hid her smile behind her hand as she turned her head away, giggling. Naruto just laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head as a small blush of his own crept onto his cheeks when he replied, "Actuallyyyy, we're kinda...sorta...a little more closer than that."

Now even Tazuna had that sly grin on his lips as he slightly leaned towards them. "Oooooh? And exactly how close are we talking about here?"

Naruto's blush increased, Sakura's muffled giggles got a little louder, and they both held up the hands wearing their wedding rings. "We...uh...kind of...got married."

Everyone was stock still, the same look of shock on all their faces, before Tazuna turned to all of them with a wide smile on his face and screamed out, "PAAAAAARRRRRTTTYYYY!" Everyone let loose a might cry and began rushing towards their various homes to make preparations for the night (or, if anything happened like last time, week) ahead.

Tazuna, in the meantime, grabbed both of them in a quick hug and said, "Awww, that's great, you two. Wait until we go talk to Tsunami! She's going to want all the details." He turned to his grandson and said, "Inari, head on back home and let your mother know. I'll lead our fine companions through the village and meet you there." The young nodded and scampered off.

Naruto had stilled at the word "details," especially since the events of the last few days could hardly be considered something to chat about over dinner, but Sakura just gently walked up and rubbed his cheeks, saying quietly, "I know you don't want to talk about it, koi, but they are going to ask questions about this. We don't have to mention...THAT if you don't want to; we only have to tell them the general details." He just silently nodded and put on a happy smile for the old man who turned back to them.

Tazuna hadn't said anything, but he had noticed the small slip in Naruto's demeanor. Still, the kid would talk about it when he wished to, and Tazuna wasn't going to push him until then. Letting out a (supposedly) drunken laugh, he turned back to them and gestured towards the village. "Come on, all of you! I'll lead you through the village and show you how much things have changed before heading on to my home. I guarantee you, you're going to be surprised!"

==At Tazuna's House==

After a rather interesting trip through the town (with the ladies all drooling at the sight of the new shops), the group made it to Tazuna's house on the riverside. The place had been spruced up quite a bit, with new painting on the sides and a new tiled roof in place. It even looked like Tazuna had made some expansions to it, allowing for a few more extra bedrooms, which Naruto and Sakura sighed a breath of relief at since they didn't want to impose upon them. It just wasn't proper decorum to go to someone's house unannounced and wind up sleeping on their floor or, worse, making them sleep on the floor so that their guests could have beds to sleep in.

As Tazuna opened the door, he called out, "Tsunami! Guess who's decided to stop by!"

Said woman looked up from making lunch to see two very familiar faces walk in, and she smiled and rushed over to engulf them into a large hug. She certainly was looking better than the last time they had seen her. She now had this air of content and happiness surrounding her, no longer stressed out and fearful of possibly disappearing in the middle of the night and waking up in Gato's slave pens – or, worse, his personal harem.

Tsunami pulled away from them and took the sight of them in with her hands resting on her hips. "Well! Look at the two of you. You've both certainly gone a long way from being those uncertain children on their first big mission. And what's this I'm hearing about you two being married? Before I saw you got your age is change. I'm going to want details later!"

Tazuna laughed and swatted his daughter's shoulder lightly. "Aww, enough of your motherin', woman! Is lunch almost ready?"

Tsunami returned his swipe with one of her own, replying, "Almost, Dad, and make sure you clean up before you sit down. Oh, and no sake at the table. Your liver doesn't need anymore damage." She smirked before returning to setting the table when Tazuna faked a wounded look.

Sakura giggled and said, "Let me help you, Tsunami," taking the plates from the woman and setting the table, despite her protests that Sakura was a guest.

With Naruto spoke. "Guess Inari is not arrived home during the Chunin Exams. Since I have some 'friends' are here to provide back-up while we stay here. Don't pay them much mind – they'll be like 'ghosts' the entire time."

Tsunami blinked a couple times at the display before giving a mental shrug and putting the smile back onto her face. "Well...It's very wonderful if I can meet the both of them. To think, we now have both the Hero of Wave staying in this house. Now if only Inari would return with the rest of my groceries so that I can serve us all lunch-"

A loud slam sounded behind them, and everyone turned to see Inari pressing his back to the door in fatigue and desperation, a wide-eyed look on his face while he held onto the grocery bag for dear life.

Tsunami frowned at his display and placed her hands back onto her hips. "Inari! Where have you been, and why did you slam the door like that when we have guests?"

Whatever the boy was going to say wound up becoming a squeak out of his terrified mouth, as everyone heard light scratchings on the door while a multitude of young female voices crooned behind the door, "Inaaaariiiii-kuuuuuun..."

Naruto and Sakura glanced at each other, trying to painfully hold in their laughter at the boy's predicament. Inari, however, turned pale before throwing the bag into the air, waving his hands and screaming as he ran up the stairs, "THE FANGIRLS ARE BACK! HIIIIIIDE MEEEEEE!"

The couple couldn't hold in their laughter any longer and let it out loudly, Sakura hanging onto her husband's shoulder in an attempt to hold herself up while her remaining arm was clutched around her abdomen. As Sode no Shirayuki appeared before she saw the bag, she had managed to catch the bag before it crashed into the floor, though she didn't bother hiding the mirthful grin on her face, while Inner-Sakura on Sakura's mind quietly snickered.'Poor Inari...since its his first time to have one rapid fangirls like Sasuke.'

Tsunami, on the other hand, just sighed and shook her head before taking the bag from Sode no Shirayuki's arms. "It's good to see you again, Shirayuki-san? Since I haven't forgot about you since Zangetsu-san is still in Naruto-kun's mind."

"Likewise." Yuki-onna replied.

Tsunami continue. "I swear, they get more and more bold everyday. Soon enough, it wouldn't surprise me if they started to try scaling the walls to his bedroom window."

Her unasked question was answered when Inari blurred past them towards the basement. "OH KAMI! THEY'RE CLIMBING UP THE BUILDING! NOWHERE IS SAFE!"

This just set the married couple off again, Naruto now having to wipe mirthful tears out of his eyes while Sakura just forewent holding on to him and fell to the floor, unable to breathe from her peals. Until Zangetsu appeared behind Naruto with shook his head of how Inari got some fear on fangirl syndrome.

==Later==

After calming the boy down (and convincing him to put down the hammer and nails to board up the doors and windows), the group managed to have a nice lunch, thanks to Tsunami's quick thinking of sending Inari out for more supplies at the news of Naruto's return.

Tazuna leaned back and sighed in content, relishing the feeling of a full stomach. It may have only been around four months between Kaiza's death and Gato's own demise on the bridge, but they were hard months of near starvation and sleepless nights due to empty bellies. Sure, they were a fishing village, but they couldn't survive only on fish caught from the docks and Gato destroyed as many boats as he could to make sure he kept them under control. Until the bridge had been built, the villagers had been forced to turn to Gato to get food, turning into laborers for the twisted businessman's drug and smuggling operations. The more desperate and those Gato had been leaning heavily on had been forced to sell sons and daughters into slavery or beg on the streets. The man never forced his thugs to take those people; he always cherished the feeling of power it gave him to their looks of utter defeat as they begged at his feet.

Sakura, despite Tsunami's repeated protests of guests helping, gathered some of the plates from the table and followed the woman into the kitchen to set them in the sink. Afterwards, the group settled into the living room, Sakura walking over to the couch and putting her husband's head in her lap as she stroked his whiskers. Zangetsu and Sode no Shirayuki just sat on the other side of them, grinning at the sight of Naruto purring to his wife's ministrations, while the others took seats in the various chairs around (Tsunami having to hold in her girlish squeals at the cuteness of the two).

Tazuna leaned comfortably back into his armchair before asking, "So, what's the plan for you guys? I highly doubt that it's because you just wanted to check in on this little old village. So how's little Noriko-chan doing?"

Sakura smiled. "She's fine, staying with my parents or koi's in-law's place. Partially, but mainly it's because my dearest koi and I, haven't had any sort of a honeymoon yet, and what better way than to spend it with old friends?"

Tsunami blushed at the word 'honeymoon', remembering hers and Kaiza's quite well, but it soon faded when she looked at them in a confused manner. "Do you mean to say that you hadn't really planned out a honeymoon before getting married? I thought that was always part of the bridal preparations."

It was now both children's turn to blush, but Naruto just chuckled a little. "Unfortunately, the marriage between these two was a 2 weeks or days more, as we were had our dreams came true at the time. Besides, better to spend our first honeymoon relaxing amongst friends since they're too young to be doing other 'activities'. Now we're sixteen before we have our training to change our age, and we planed a second one where we are starting a true family." Getting a nod from Tsunami.

Naruto was quite content to simply lay there in his wife's lap and let her stroke his face, but a thought soon came into his head, causing a small pang in his chest when it did, and he turned to look into her inquiring gaze.

"And where are the two of you headed off to?" Tazuna wondered.

"We better need some fresh air...since I had something to do." Naruto declared. As he took out two books on his possession. And went for a walk, with Sakura accompany.

==Outside - At Nami==

The walk through the village had been quick, as everyone was too focused on the upcoming celebration that night to notice them for more than a second. Still, while it made Naruto smile that these people would cheer him on because they were grateful for what he had done, it was nice to not be hounded by everyone wishing them well and inquiring about him. At least these people had a reason to glorify him; after all, helping to save entire villages usually has a tendency to make those people love you for it.

Sakura gently snaked her hand into his, offering some silent comfort to the young man. She didn't know what Naruto was feeling, but she was certain that it was similar to what she had felt yesterday after seeing her mother – confusion, restlessness, and a certain sense of suffocation. She might have stabilized herself, but Naruto was still teetering back and forth from everything. He may not have shown it, acting like he was alright in front of Tazuna's family, but it was still going to be a long time before his turmoiled mind was finally able to settle peacefully.

'Koi needs to come to terms with all that's happened. It's not enough that he's finally had the chance to vent his hate and grudge; his own feelings are still mostly negative towards both himself and others. Despite me loving him, he probably still feels worthless, as if he's failed in every aspect of his life. Even marrying me is a hollow victory, because it took him sacrificing nearly everything to get this far.'

Slowly, she leaned up towards him and kissed his cheek, causing him to glance at her with a small smile. She then leaned her head against his shoulder and sighed happily, reveling in the way he felt to her. 'Still, I'll be there for him. Time heals wounds, especially when there's someone helping you.'

They continued walking until the town gave way to the small forest nearby. The trees were rustling slightly with the wind, but it was only a small breeze. Sakura heard the leaves flow and sway against each other, loving the sounds of nature around her. Naruto, oddly enough, felt a small wave of calm overcome him when he heard the sound of the blowing wind, rather than the leaves. They continued walking in silence, listening to nature call its soothing tones, and soon the forest gave way to a small clearing on a hilltop overlooking the village.

As Naruto took out his light blue Magatama, and throw it to the see and enchanted. |"Rage of Tides, Roar of the Seas. Leviathan! Arise!"| As the magatama splash at the water; As Naruto took out his sky blue Magatama, and throw it to the sea before it dunks the ocean and enchanted. |"Rage of Tides, Roar of the Seas. Leviathan! Arise!"| As the magatama splash at the water; while the magatama is on deep the sky blue is starting to glow and explodes with a serpent head is reveal to be Leviathan.

["What did you need, Naruto?"] Leviathan asked.

"Rayleigh-sensei. I know about you been guarding that artifact relic when Hagoromo told you to keep it safe to prevent it not to fall in the wrong hands which it belongs to Kagome." Naruto told his summon which made Leviathan's eyes widen of he know the next location of the relics.

["Did you decode the coordinates for where is the 2nd relic is in the Tome of Hagoromo and retrieved?"] Rayleigh/Leviathan asked with curiously. Which made Naruto nod.

["Yes, Naruto. It's true, since Hagoromo told me if you have prove yourself worthy to allowed to possessed that relic...the Kagome no Obu (Orb of Kagome)."] Leviathan explained. ["Since you gave me no choice, is it's time to gave you the artifact."]

"Thank you." Naruto said to his mentor and gave him a bow for respect. "And I will make sure I won't let others to fall their wrong hands to the Kagome no Obu...or should I say...the Apple of Eden (Eden no Ringo)."

Leviathan smirked of he accepted to have that relic...and he prepared to submerges underwater to retrieve it. As Sakura went to her husband and said. "You sending Rayleigh-san to retrieved the artifact that Altair is mention it before?"

Naruto nod at his wife as he went to her and wrap his arm around her shoulder and replied. "Yeah...since its the most powerful and a dangerous item that was once belong to the First Civilization. The sooner I will possessed Hagoromo, Kagome and Hamura's relics."

"I guess your right, koi." Sakura agreed, as she gave him a kiss on his cheek. And the Kurosaki newlywed turn their heads at the beautiful ocean.

==At Konoha - Moment Later==

Minato Namikaze was on his family's training ground; with his chakra were sealed and under house arrested. 7 years, Minato thought as he tried to catch his breath as his mind drifted to his wayward son. 'It has been 7 long years since you left us, Naruto.' The Namikaze had tried his damnedest to try and bring back his son. With his blood removed with Kushina is completely gone...permanently, forever...so no one can stopped him.

After the Chunin Exam and few of the rookies like Ino, Sayuri, Sasuke, Kiba, Chouji and Shikamaru were under teachings by Naruto during the exams. Since had transform into a monster like Kushina mention it when he defeat the strongest shinobi in Iwa, and his daughter too. Naruto is so powerful and stronger. Since they tried to trained Hitomi to match his power.

Later Jiraiya revealed to Minato or his family minus Hitomi, that Naruto was 'the Chosen One' and Sakura about the 'Sword of the Moon and Sword of the Snow', and the 2 Child of Prophecy, but not Hitomi? When the Prophecy is change. Minato wasn't too thrilled hearing his daughter wasn't the 'Child of Prophecy'.

Soon after the Fire Daimyo had heard about Minato abused, neglected and ignored Naruto as a trash and that Naruto and Sakura was the two 'Child of Prophecy' the Fire Lord had ordered Minato to step down as Hokage and Hiruzen retake the title of Hokage; due of his age is de-aged back to his younger days.

The Fire Daimyo told Minato or Kushina they were correct that when the village is in danger that the village came first, family second but they're were wrong when the village is not in danger, family came first not the village, it comes second from then on Minato Namikaze who was known as the Greatest Hokage ever became known as the Worst Hokage ever after that Minato lost his Clan status and also the Seated of the Uzumaki Clan was stripped remove and given to the other 2 Uzumaki refugees like Karin and Tayuya.

Hiruzen after retaking the title of Hokage had put out an negotiated with the Soul Society in the afterlife was approved is unlike Naruto's 'uncle' Ichigo. Now Naruto have his own spy network besides Jiraiya's. Now Naruto is the Second Rikudō Sennin...and the Black Savior.

And the Fifth Hokage title were also denied Tsunade or Jiraiya to earned it. It took so much tears, blood, and even begging from the former Hokage to convince Naruto's replacement parents (when they have return to the Soul Society for gave some gifts to his son and daughter-in-law; and also as their ambassadors along with Ichigo) to gave his son back, as Minato had even bowed and cried in front of others before Kitsune (Naruto Sr) and Yuki-on'na (Sakura-yuki). 'Out of all of us, for nothing!' Minato thought as he let out a sigh, 'You loved Naruto more than we have, damn you...Kitsune. Yuki-on'na.'

Inside the Namikaze-Uzumaki mansion, Kushina (with her hair his shaved) was looking at old pictures of her family and only noticed how the pictures after the day Hitomi was begun to trained and ignored Naruto, that Naruto was slowly fading away into the background…like a ghost. 'Naruto, my little maelstrom.' Kushina thought as tears formed in her eyes as she watched the smile fade into a stoic look on her son's face before seeing how Naruto's body was slowly melding into the background of each photo. She could name Hitomi's flaws, favorites, and even the former red-head girl's embarrassing secrets while with Naruto…she couldn't even remember the sound of the former blonde's voice without crying as she would remember that day.

Kushina's own students had disowned her for abandoning and neglecting her own 'flesh and blood' child. Anko, Kurenai, and Yugao (when she told her friends about her along with Anko) had turned their backs on her with just cause as even Kushina would have done the same if the shoe was on the other foot. 'My little maelstrom,' Kushina thought as a tear fell on the last happy picture with her and an infant Naruto being held by Kushina's now-former students, 'I hope you can forgive me for what I have done.'

Turns out...they're all still under house arrest for three years for released...since with their reputation is faded away. And many villagers are now lost respected to them when her grandmother Tsukiko punished her brutally. Now Kushina and Minato cannot restart the family when she got her seal on her womb sealed and sterile.

After the invasion from Oto (Sound) and Suna (Sand), the village had thank Naruto and Sakura and the rest of the rookies and includes Hitomi for saving lives from danger and everything earned for gratitude with Naruto's allies for his actions were it not for Naruto being the son of a great war hero. But like the Legend himself.

==Meanwhile==

Kitsune (Naruto Sr) was currently sipping some tea in a shop near the Hokage tower, before he change his mask into a masquerade with white lens along with a large scarf on his neck to conceal his mouth as the sun fell down over the horizon. He just got back for few things? With his wife Yuki-on'na (Sakura-yuki) is on the hospital. He had run in there a while ago to talk to Hiruzen over a few things when his adopted son and daughter-in-law were on the honeymoon. Chuckling to himself, he'd decided that he could wait until they got back. The kids needed a break anyways. Best not to disturb their relaxation.

A waitress had brought him some dango he'd ordered, and he absentmindedly chewed on it while he thought about the other day. 'Well...things went well since musuko is on the honeymoon for now. Since it will be take days until...'

"Mind if I take a seat here?"

Kitsune looked up to see a brown-haired average-looking civilian by the name of Kanonji standing nearby a seat. What made this guy so special was that he was one of the contacts that kept an eye on Jiraiya's spy network and funneled information to him whenever the man came through. To actually seek Jiraiya out must have meant that something big was coming up pretty soon. Turns out Kitsune or his son taking some tabs from Jiraiya to his son since Hitomi's refusal.

He swept his hand towards it in a nonchalant manner and said, "It's a free world."

Kanonji sat in the chair and stretched his arms a little. "Crazy last few days, huh? Since we had you as a replacement to Jiraya-sama. Kushina's trail punishment, then that business with the Daimyo and the council had Minato-san's title is stripped. Shocking, to say the least."

Kitsune shrugged and reached for another dango. "That's a ninja village for you. Always with the politics."

Kanonji nodded his head and reached out his hand towards the menu, dropping a miniature scroll unseen near the plate before grabbing the cardboard stand. "What sounds delectable?"

Kitsune picked up the scroll and unfurled it near the plate. "Dango's always good." He then glanced at the message, and his eyes widened slightly in shock before his heart turned cold through the mask. 'Oh shit, this is really, really bad!'

Kanonji locked eyes with the shinigami and discreetly nodded his head in seriousness before saying aloud, "How is it today?"

Kitsuen swept his hand near the plate closer to the man, dropping a few bills hidden to everyone but them. "You can try the last of mine if you'd like. I find that I have some place to be."

The man just nodded and reached for the remaining stick, taking the money as he did so, and waved it in thanks. Kitsune paid his bill at the counter before rushing over to the Hokage Tower and leaping up to the Hokage's office. As he slipped through the open window and closed it, with Sandaime was older Nartuo. "What is it?"

As Kitsune remove his mask and said with a serious look. "Old man. Order some ANBU! We've got a serious problem on our hands!"

The Sandaime eyebrow and said, "How so?"

==With Naruto and Sakura - At Nami==

As they been waiting for leviathan to return, Sakura took the Hagoromo's Codex from Naruto and look some pages about Leviathan; her husband been reading it many times during the travels secretly.

Page 23 - The Sea Serpent

- A Large Blue Serpent with swimming wings and a silver haired man with glasses. With a Jolly Roger Flag; was a Roger Pirates flag. (AN: Inspired by FF4 series and the human form also summoners called Eidolons. Since summons allows to change into humans before.)

"A massive sea serpent that effortlessly controls water and rules all who dwell in the oceans. The raging swell of his "Tsunami" is enough to consume even the fiercest of foes."

When i travel through those oceans by my ship. When my ship and my crew were starting to shake? Something attack us below when I trespassed 'his' territory.

A giant sea serpent, and went on to become one of the most prominent summons alongside Bahamut, being known by titles such as "the Sea King", or "Lord of All Waters". In the later titles of the series, Leviathan's prominence diminished as Bahamut gained more status and popularity.

Born of the Northern Sea itself, he is the Lord of All Waters, and unchallenged champion.

After I defeat Leviathan then he change into a human; he was most distinguishing traits are his round glasses and facial hair, which is arranged embattled across his lower jaw. He also has a scar over his right eye, which he has had for many years.

His name is Silvers Rayleigh, also known as the "Dark King", is the former first mate of the Roger Pirates, known as the "Right Hand of the Pirate King". He became a coating mechanic in Sabaody Archipelago at some point after his friend Roger died and the crew was disbanded. He served as my mentor in the use of Haki during my travels for gaining new abilities and power. Before he trained his student name Luffy.

Rayleigh is light hearted, casual, and fun loving, much like his captain Roger was. In the past, he was shown to have been impatient with the antics of the younger crew members, and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. However, he has changed his personality in his older years, becoming much more relaxed even when training Luffy.

Though he often has a serious air, Rayleigh enjoys going with the flow and appearing in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, especially given his status and age. He often comments on his age and how his body "does not work the way it used to", much like Garp; turns out that was Luffy's grandfather.

Rayleigh is not often headstrong, looking before he leaps and taking time to plan ahead before taking action, although he does not hesitate to act if needs be. Even when entering into an unfortunate or unplanned situation such as engaging a Marine admiral in combat or having his ship sink in the Sea King infested waters of the Grand Line, Rayleigh remains completely calm, pushing forward through adversity with no hesitation.

He, like his friend Whitebeard, seem to enjoy talking about the past and its great times, as well as the good old days of their near bygone era. In spite of this, he appeared reluctant to get into the darker topic of the Void Century. He is typically open and talkative, such as when it came to the mysterious Void Century. He was willing to divulge the whole truth to someone named Nico Robin if she wished, but she declined his offer.

As stated by Shakky, he loves alcohol and women, which he proved when he is first introduced saving Keimi from being mistreated by Disco while holding a hip flask. Despite once being enemies with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh seems to have great respect for their captain, like Roger, and shed a tear for Whitebeard's passing.

Now I started to learned Haki for now...

As Sakura closed the journal of how Hagoromo made friends and companions with the soul summons. Now since Naruto did possessed those weapons, and now Sakura had the Celestial Fairies; now Sakura possessed Kendo, fencing and archery. Since Sakura was training with her new ability since she haven't use it for a while when she was training.

As the ocean is burst out reveal to be Leviathan emerges in the ocean floor. As flash of sky blue light engulfs the sea serpent. As the light reach the cliff edge and the light fades reveal to be Leviathan is now human form as Raleigh; holding a golden small-size ball is about the size as a apple with linings and symbols.

As Rayleigh approaches to Naruto and hand him a orb on his hands with a stern look. "You sure, there is no turning back?" He asked.

Naruto nod. "Yes, since I maybe taking the honeymoon first and second is find the relic." Which made Sakura surprised and look at Naruto.

"You were planning this?" Sakura exclaimed. Which made Naruto sighed as he take the orb and went to his wife.

Naruto went to Sakura and handed his wife with the artifact. "I did had to find a gift for our wedding...so I gave you this." He explained. "So...I gave you this, as your wedding gift."

Sakura was surprised. "Are you serious?" Getting a nod from Naruto. "You were going back here for this artifact as my gift?" As Naruto nod again which Leviathan/Rayleigh smile about it.

"Which is why Leviathan told me about it since before I decoded the Tome to where the other relics for sure." Naruto explained. "And that's why I want you have it. Since I have my forge hammer."

Sakura's tears falling on her cheeks, of how Naruto got herself a gift. As ran at him and gave him a passion kiss and hug her beloved husband. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!"

Naruto smiled. "You're welcome, Sakura-chan." Naruto replied before he gave her a warning. "But you better be careful if this artifact is not used for personal gain. It was meant for help others." Getting a nod from Sakura.

"I will." Sakura replied.

With Naruto and Sakura had their time together in the cliffside of the Nami, before the sun fell down over the horizon.

==At the Unknown Location==

"Are you certain?" Galvatron asked while seating his throne with his Dark Star Saber on his right hand.

"Yes, since the description about two blue metallic beings? One is a samurai and the other is a female is Drift and Arcee. Since they are on a bodyguard duty while the now-called Kurosakis were there enjoying their honeymoon." Zetsu reported via hologram.

Galvatron snarl of how the first human prime were on their pathetic honeymoon which made him sick. "Very well...keep it post. And tell Madara that we need more energon to prepared...soon."

"Hai." Zetsu replied, as the hologram is fade leaving Galvatron seated before the decepticon leader called.

"Get me Sideways and Skyquake!"

==Back in Nami==

The village party was in full swing. Some paper lanterns were strung high up all along the streets and in the square, while the various vendors were strung along the road hawking their variety of foods and desserts that the public were relishing with glee. Many travelers to the town were confused as to the sudden need to celebrate, but most just went along with it and had a good time spending their money (which the merchants of Wave were more than happy to take).

Naruto and Sakura were sitting on a bench in the square, happily devouring their treats while chatting with the rest of the group. It wasn't really a festival – more of just a really big dinner party – so no one was really dressed really extravagantly in anything like kimonos or the like, which Sakura was grateful for since she had her own kimono for the battle.

Inari was sitting really close to the two, twitching slightly whenever he thought he heard one of his fangirls nearby (who seemed oddly reluctant to approach the two celebrated guests, probably out of awe and embarrassment), which provided no end of amusement for them. It turned exceptionally hilarious when he turned and paled when he saw several of them hiding near the street corners and staring at him with glowing eyes of want, all of them whispering, "Inari-kuuuuuuun..."

Sakura suppressed the urge to laugh as she turned to her husband and asked. "Please tell me I was never like this like those sickos did to you?"

"No," he replied with a shake of his head, trying to suppress his own guffaws. "Thankfully not. You mostly just gravitated towards him whenever he entered your field of vision, but never actively followed him all over the village. I believe that particular achievement lies with Ami. I mean...he and I have opposites? I was able run away from her after all. I think she even once snuck into his bedroom and watched him sleep one night or myself included since I was manage to loss sight of her." He finally let a laugh out. "I heard his scream from halfway across the village, until Hinata heard her boyfriend screaming for help if she'll beat her into a pulp! Hell, I'd never even seen Sasuke run that fast in training and then Ami comes sprinting along right behind him with a dog collar and leash, screaming about how she was going to make Sasuke her pet, since his parents and siblings felt sorry of its my fault for training him and been the 2 best students in the Academy! I heard that afterwards, Sasuke came to me after training to beg to made seals for his room? He had a room renovated so that the door and windows had nearly seven kinds of locks and seals to prevent anyone from getting in aside from him. What's even more hilarious was that not even two weeks later, he woke up one morning to see Ami laying right on top of him and talking about how it was going to be so wonderful to wake up to his face every morning they were married. His scream that time could be heard over in SUNA, and poor Sasuke needed three weeks with the Yamanakas doing mind-wipes and therapy before finally getting over it!"

The entire group started laughing at the Uchiha's misfortune, before they all heard a little female voice call out, "Inari!"

The boy's head snapped towards the voice, fearing for a second that one of the fangirls had gotten bold enough to approach, but his face displayed relief when he saw a blue-eyed girl with long dark-brown hair done up into a small ponytail walk up quickly to join them. She appeared to be around his age, wearing a light-pink t-shirt with blue pants, and she had this annoyed little scowl on her face.

As soon as she approached, Inari dived for her and landed at her feet, hugging her legs with all his might. "Ageha! Thank Kami you're here! The she-devils! The she-devils won't leave me be!"

It really was getting harder and harder for Naruto and Sakura not to laugh at this, but Ageha just scowled a little deeper at him before turning towards the fangirls (who now seemed to take a slightly pale look). With a glare the Shinigami would fear, her head seemed to enlarge like Iruka's on a bad day in the classroom as she screamed out, "SCRAM, YOU!"

The fangirls scattered to the wind, and Naruto and Sakura fell off the bench as they let out their laughter. When Inari shot to his feet and wrapped his arms around the girl, proclaiming, "THANK YOU, AGEHA! MY DEAR, SWEET GODDESS OF PROTECTION! I LOVE YOU!" Sakura nearly peed herself, she was laughing so hard.

Ageha turned a little red before letting out a snarl and smacked Inari across the head. "Dang it, Inari! Why is it that you always have to rely on me to protect you from them? Grow a spine, already, and tell them off! Running away only encourages them!"

Inari clutched his throbbing head but managed to let out a "Yes, Ageha," which seemed to satisfy the girl. She then turned to the now-recovered couple, and her eyes lit up the moment they landed on the pink-haired with lavender highlighted young woman who was trying to get her sniggers under control. Like a blur, she appeared in front of Sakura, her hands clasped in front of her while her eyes glittered with adoration. "Sakura-dono! I'm so happy to see you again! Do you remember me?"

Confused, Sakura looked at the girl closely, trying to put a face that seemed similar to the girl in front of her. To be honest, she hadn't really interacted with many of the villagers here. Most of them were workers on the bridge, but her mind then sparked a little as she remembered a little girl running up to her and asking for food, before few months back in chunin exams.

Sakura smiled and pointed to the girl. "I do recognize you! You were that little girl that came up to me the day I was with Naruto-kun and Tazuna!"

Ageha let out a squeal and latched herself onto Sakura, screaming out. "She remembered! Sakura-dono remembered me!"

Naruto snickered a little at the helpless look on his wife's face, but he gestured to her in a "What can you do?" kind of way. He certainly felt as such when he was dealing with the Konohamaru Corps. Sakura shook her head and gently smiled at the girl when she raised her head. "I almost didn't know who you were. You've changed a bit since that day, especially with the long hair."

Ageha blushed a little, and muttered out. "You had long hair when you were here last and the same snow lavender highlights." When she said this, Naruto snickered some more as he remembered the Konohamaru Corps all wearing the same type of goggles that he once wore.

Sakura's eyes widened again, this time in embarrassment – How does Naruto deal with Konohamaru and his friends when they are like this? – but she smiled at the girl and said, "Well, it looks lovely on you."

Whatever the girl was going to say was cut-off by a scream over towards the front gate, and the ninja jumped to their feet and pulled various weapons out of pouches before running towards the disturbance.

Before they got too far away, Naruto quickly turned and formed the Ram seal, before activating his Rinnegan, deploying nearly a hundred Kage Bunshin all over the square and yelling, "Protect the villagers!" Before he manifested his Tsunami Hebi Naginata via light blue naginata.

The various bunshin nodded and started to canvas the town, as Naruto turned back and ran to rejoin his wife took out Sode no Shirayuki.

When the group reached the bridge, they saw one of the townsmen on the ground clutching a bleeding wound on his shoulder, while the woman who had screamed was hovering over him while staring at the intruders with confused horror.

Naruto immediately tensed when he saw the men. All ten of them were wearing red shirts and pants with brown flak jackets on their chests, and on their foreheads sat hitai-ates bearing the mark of Iwa. 'What the hell? What is Iwa doing here? It's too soon for them to have found out, unless...there's a spy somewhere in the village. Either way, it looks like they're taking this seriously, since they all look to be at least Chuunin if not Jounin.'

The ninja who appeared to be in charge stepped forward. "We do not wish to cause an international incident, even if your country is on the weaker side, so I will ask again. Where can we find Naruto Kurosaki?"

The gate guard just scowled and spat at the man's feet. "You think I give a damn about your shinobi politics? You'll find that not many people in this village fear death, and you'll be hard-pressed to find one of them who would betray the Hero of Wave."

The leader's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand in preparation for a jutsu as he said, "Very well."

Not wanting to risk any casualties, Naruto flicked a shuriken at the nin, missing his head by centimeters before embedding in the ground. Distracted, the nin turned to look at the approaching group, allowing the two villagers to slip away.

Naruto approached them cautiously, and preform his stance as he said, "I am Naruto Kurosaki. May I ask why shinobi from Iwa are terrorizing innocent villagers while looking for me?"

The head shinobi lowered his hands from the seals and stood at attention. "Kurosaki-san, we have been ordered by the Tsuchikage to request that you come with us to appear before him."

Naruto cocked his head to the side as gripping his sword, and he begun to spin it a little around his hand. "Oh? And what warrants this behavior? Surely the Tsuchikage would like to avoid a diplomatic incident with both the Fire Daimyo and the Wave Daimyo together? In fact, why wasn't the emissary sent straight to the Hokage, as this could be considered more of a kidnapping and therefore an act of war? The very fact that you are attempting this in front of said woman shows how little intel you've actually been given, and I personally think that all of you are complete and utter morons who need to rethink just how much you really want to live before I rip out your spines and use them for skip-ropes."

One of the other Iwa nin growled and stepped forward to point at the boy. "Listen here, brat! I don't fucking care if I have to drag you back kicking and screaming! Better just to kill you now and take your corpse back! It's the best a little freak of a Namikaze deserves with your fake bloodline! Hell, we'll even take along your little whore as well! Doesn't matter if she has your bloodline or not; we'll still have fun passing her around the village for a quick fuck!"

Naruto's face never even changed, but the quickness in which he threw the bisentō into the man's brain was unbelievable, sending the corpse crashing to the ground with the metal spear buried into the man's forehead – hitai-ate and all. He then closed his eyes and breathed deeply before slowly opening them, making the Iwa nin piss themselves in fright when they saw the ripple-slitted eyes before them. As Naruto extended his hand and the naginata re-calls its master to his hand then twirl it in both hands and then quick shift his stance by bend his arm and then end of the pole on its armpit.

The leader knew that this whole mission was about to become F.U.B.A.R. and really should have just ran, but he still had to try and salvage the whole ordeal. "Kurosaki-san, nobody else has to get hurt. Really, despite what he just said, no one is trying to pull anything here – the Tsuchikage really only wants to talk. Just come with us and-"

*And what?* The deepness of his voice and the demonic mask donned on his face showed that the boy was now becoming dangerously close to releasing more of Hollow's power and therefore was getting increasingly agitated to their presence, til resume his stance. The boy's gripped his hand on the plwere flexing rhythmically, as if he could hear the pounding the Iwa nins' hearts. *You honestly think that a few threats at those I love and vague assurances of my safety are going to be enough to get me to come with you? You're no different than the village I serve – a bunch of self-centered, worthless hypocrites who barely see beyond their own delusions of grandeur.*

By now, the racket had started to attract various other village members, while the Konoha nin were starting to position themselves to protect the civilians better. Sakura had placed herself on the far end, before healed the wounded, wanting to keep out of the blast zone should Naruto cut loose, but she kept feeling this vague tugging from her heart on her chest. Since she did made her bonding with Naruto.

Whatever the case was, it felt gooood...

Naruto just cracked his neck and settled into a loose stance, but his gaze turned upwards to the sky. *You know what the funny thing is? You would think that a ninja village would be more receptive to things that can be deemed 'odd' – be more mindful of those who protect them everyday. But since the day I was born, I have been shunned, abused, starved, and just overall neglected by every person in my former family in the home village, both ninja and civilian alike. And for what? A so-called hero of Konoha will save their home by training their daughter which she had a so-called demon fox that resides in my gut? A fox that is so incredibly 'evil', since many villagers saw her a hero when I was completely ignored! Until they gave me a second chance to live life with those I care for?*

He shook his head before gazing at them again with cold eyes, and he raised his right hand, as the the glowing sky blue brights reveals to be the same magatama. Slowly, a vicious smile crept onto his lip through his mask, as more and more of the sky blue reaitsu exuded from his body – to which Sakura shuddered and smiled in ecstasy as crimson crept into her green eyes.

==At Naruto's Mind==

Hakuto, within the mindscape, noticed an odd interaction and grinned maliciously as he watched some of the new source of energy split off into a different direction from the main flow./'Oh, PLEASE let someone do something stupid! I reeeally want to see how the kits react to it!'/

He chuckled a little and settled in to watch.

==Outside Mind==

Naruto place his pole in the side. ['I guess its your first time to use this?'] Leviathan curious. Getting a mental nod from his mentor.

'Yes.' Naruto replied, before he un-donned his mask, now the orange-blonde place the magatama on the head of the spear, as the spear is engulfed with water. As place the other hand on the other, then prepared to twirl the pole weapon then move the air with a furious spin then then slam the pommel of the naginata that causes the geyser of water in the air.

As the water devolves, which made the Iwa nins' eyes all widened as the full implications of this hit them square in the face.

This wasn't just some clan head and Future Fire Guardian; it was a legend.

Naruto is now wearing a full body blue armor decorates dragon features; his helmet is Dragon Head with jawbone on cheek as a protector, the chest armor is face of the dragon and two wings on the shoulders, blue and black gauntlets with a claw of the dragon on the elbow, blue waist armor with made of dragon tails and blue boots with two horns or claws on the knees. And the spear is now a shape like or unlike a arrow or harpoon (think Final Fantasy 9; Kain's Lance). (AN: Think MU's Dragon Armor: wikia . nocookie _cb20110320070728/last-arena/images/4/4d/ DragonArmor . png)

"Ōritsu Hebi Ryūkihei (Royal Serpent Dragon)." Naruto declared.

Which made the squad of iwa surprised of Naruto's new appearance? During the Chunin Exams? Tsuchikage's top shinobi was defeated by the same man along with his wife did defeat the Sandaime Tsuchikage's granddaughter with her strength is highly equal then Tsunade's and even he is the most powerful shinobi in Konoha to earned the title as "Moon Slayer" and Sakura earned the title from the hospital in Konoha called "Miracle Cherry Snow" (Kiseki no Sayuki). Few of the spies in Konoha from the different shinobi village tried to find out of what's the secret of Sakura's skills in scalpel and even their training regiment? Since they been in their shop for a while when Sakura went to the hospital. Since many of the surgeons were curious about her skills is magnificent, so they want to know her secret.

As the Iwa team were nervous like the time Naruto did transformed like that 'monster' when he defeat Ulquiorra. Now they need overwhelm him since the rumors in Nami that he can wipe out Gato's thugs with a single technique and knocked them life before he was standing.

Naruto narrow his eyes in the Iwa ninjas' direction, then he made a crouch until the Iwa is ready to defend themselves for he is ready to charge, and then a blur which made them startled before they look up and saw him sending dive down at them with a reverse gripped both hands. (AN: Check the Final Fantasy Dragoon Jump attack and the KH2 Nobody Dragoon's Jump attack.)

Then dived down in a high velocity speed. which the Eight of them jumped aside to the spot to dodge it; that one was impaled in chest before explodes that causing a shockwave which it hits them on the force.

When the Iwa nin looked up again, recovered from the blast, is which they heard a cracked that cause them attention and saw Sakura appeared with Sode no Shirayuki strapped on the side, which made then shiver and saw her smile on her face, since they also heard a rumor about temper is completely rivals both Tsunade and Kushina combine.

One of the other Iwa nin snarled and shunshined right behind Sakura, holding a kunai to her neck while his free hand covered her mouth as he screamed, "Stop right there, Kurosaki! One more move, and your pretty little whore dies!"

Naruto paused slightly, causing the nin to think he had won, but Sakura just smirked under his hand and raised her extracted her hidden blade to jam her blade into his eye, putting out his sight half-blind. The man screamed, loosening his grip as pain surged through him, and she then ducked out of his grip, extracted another hidden blade and spun around, slashing out his neck and nearly decapitating him. When she straightened again, her eyes had changed completely crimson, and she smirked before flashing over to her husband.

Naruto glanced at her out of the corner of his eye at Sakura. "We always prepared for any circumstance?"

Sakura nodded. "Yup, since they never know about our new capabilities."

The head Iwa nin didn't know the extent of the abilities these two possessed, but considering to the fact that they just took out three jounin before they could really react, he realized that he needed to do something and fast if he was going to have any sort of success on this mission. Reaching to the radio on his ear, he spoke hurriedly, "Chuunin! Move into position! Diplomacy has failed! I repeat! The Kurosaki have turned aggressive!"

As twenty Iwa chuunin shunshined into the area, Hiruzen sighed as he and two ANBU guards appeared closed the distance towards the two and watched their backs. "You know, Naruto, if this kind of excitement is going to be normal for you when you go on trips, I'm leaving you behind from now on."

Naruto just smirked and cracked his neck. "Yeah, yeah. It's not like you don't attract your own brand of trouble. I thought its our first honeymoon?" Which made the Sandaime nod for he had his point.

"I know. Since I decide to see if Tazuna-san will negotiate with Konoha for some resources."

"Yeah. I see your point." Naruto replied, as he glancing at his wife, he nodded his head towards the bridge and then smiled maliciously at the nin in front of him. "I once heard that my 'former' father had a flee-on-sight order put on him by Iwa due to his actions in the war."

Both he and Sakura flashed past the nin, him beheading one while her slashing another's jugular and nearly severing his neck completely, and Naruto paused long enough to turn his head to them and say, "Let's see if my wife and I can match that!" He then flashed further down the bridge after Sakura.

This didn't deter the Iwa shinobi, as the head ninja then yelled, "AFTER THEM! THEY MUST NOT ESCAPE!"

The jounin raced down the bridge, and the chuunin made to follow, but most were blocked when Hiruzen threw a multitude of a shuriken and whispered, "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" causing hundreds of them appear and forcing the chuunin to dodge to the ground. Sakura appeared behind him then raised her foot and slammed it down, forming a small crater that threw the ninja off-balance.

As the Iwa struggled to their feet again, since they did not know that was the Sandaime, Hiruzen sighed dramatically and shook his head. "Children these days. They just don't know when to quit."

One of the chuunin reached his feet and drew a kunai before he snarled, "As if an old man like you could handle themselves against an elite group of chunnin from Iwa without any help!"

Hiruzen closed his eyes and snapped his fingers until the ANBU appeared besides him which made the Iwa shocked about the Konoha send ANBU in front of them, to which they draw their swords. The de-aged Hokage open his eyes to the group and smirked before raising a finger at them. "A few things wrong with that statement. One, acting arrogant is not the same thing as being confident; it just means that you're too stupid to see what's in front of you."

Another finger raised. "This leads to number two, as your blindness and stupidity just caused your entire group to commit several crimes against Konoha shinobi right in front of their Hokage, which really is me since Onoki didn't mention it to you about it. To be honest, I'm rather surprised that none of you realized this fact the moment Naruto said it. I'm guessing either the intel Iwa receives is rather shoddy quality and has not realized of my ascension, or their shinobi are all incompetents."

Several eyes widened as this realization dawned on them, and Hiruzen raised another finger. "This also leads to number three, as no doubt you think that strength in numbers will help you here, despite the fact that I just forced you all to your knees without even really trying. Please! I've taken on punks like you in greater number and barely gotten a scratch. Add in to the fact that my assistant is better than your average jounin, and you have no chance against us."

A fourth finger joined the others. "The fourth thing is that since I am the Hokage, a reinstated like Onoki is still as always since he didn't select his predecessor, that means I was aware of your attack thanks to my new spymaster, and he is currently leading ANBU reinforcements to back us up within the next few minutes."

His thumb then extended out. "Finally, the last thing is, even if you somehow managed to over come both of us and evade his father or my old student and the ANBU..." He then twirled her finger to tell them to turn around. The chuunin did, and their faces paled.

Sitting on the rooftops and off to the sides sat the hundred clones that Naruto had summoned earlier, and all of them were holding copies of Zangetsu and different weapons like wrist blades, naginata and swords like Naruto's form.

One of the clones smirked and hefted their weapons. "Yeeeeaaaahh. Either way, you're gonna get raped six ways to Sunday."

The chuunin all turned back to the old Sarutobi and Sakura, and with Sakura just smiled and clenched the hand she'd counted with into a chakra-empowered fist. "Any last words?"

The nin that had spoke started trembling and whimpered out, "Mommy..."

Hiruzen smirked at them and replied. "Good enough. CHAAAAARGE!"

As the Hiruzen, Sakura and the multitude of clones all jumped into the fray, the chuunin could only think, 'Why us, Kami? Why us?'

==Later==

Naruto had managed to catch up to Sakura and were rapidly approaching their destination: the monument gate at the middle of the bridge. As soon as he had approached her, she turned her head to him, still had his armor on and asked, "What do we do now?"

Naruto grinned a little as they began to slow. "As of right now, they've only been underestimating us, which is the reason why half of their force is now dead. However, they are still jounin and are now more aware of what we can do, and no doubt some of the chuunin managed to slip past Hiruzen-jiji. We need to keep them occupied until help can arrive. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll take another couple of them down. Take a shot at one-hit kills if you see an opportunity, but for the most part, focus on evading all of their attacks. If I know my father, he'll get here soon enough, but if you feel yourself flagging, go and head back towards Sandaime-jiji. They only want me, it seems, and will probably ignore you if they think it'll make it easier to capture me."

She focused a glare at him and snarled. "Forget it! If I get out of there, you're coming with me! Either we survive this together or we die together – nothing else!"

Naruto chuckled as they stopped at the gate. "As you wish, my wife."

They stood there for a few seconds, back to back, waiting for the inevitable. The jounin would follow – Naruto knew it. They wouldn't dare just give up and stay behind to terrorize the villagers. Nami may only be a small country, but if Iwa were caught red-handed in attacking them, it would cause a political backlash that would potentially find Iwa standing alone against the other four great villages as well as the minor ones. When you're adrift and without allies, it tends to get very hard to survive, and Iwa will not risk that, especially considering how they are still hurting after the Third Shinobi War. Konoha may have been hit pretty hard in the Sound invasion, but it was still quite manageable in comparison to the countless Iwa shinobi who died before. No, at this point, they were better off minimizing as much damage as they could, and the only way to do that now was to get both Naruto and Sakura into Iwa's custody. Once they were, Konoha wouldn't have as much of a position to demand retribution, as they would be more focused on trying to get the kids out of there.

He whispered lowly, "They're almost here. The moment they arrive, strike. Don't give them any opportunities to re-orient themselves; keeping them off-guard is about all we have for the moment."

Sakura nodded and crouched into a starting position, with her hidden blades extracted; since its light. Naruto readied Kain's Lance and slipped into a stance, steadying his breathing. Since the lance was so light to wield for him, he could use it more defensively, but he still needed training in these types of things for them to really be effective. 'Just a few minutes, saiai. Just hold on for a few minutes, and help will arrive.'

The Iwa nin appeared, and the two children burst into action before the nin could even blink, flashing away from each other towards the outer ring. Naruto crossed blades with one, nearly initiating a dead-lock before using his momentum to flip over the nin, while Sakura managed to dart between two and clip their sides with her wrist blades. The cuts weren't deep, but it was enough to shock the two nin and allow her to jam it behind her into the second nin's back, hitting his lower left, before flashing to the side and heading towards Naruto.

Naruto, after flipping over his opponent, managed to quickly turn as he landed and cut deeply across the man's back, leaving a very nasty slash that went from his right shoulder to his left hip. The man went down screaming, the cut deep enough to where it severed his spinal cord, and Naruto flashed towards the middle.

As the two approached each other, both glanced at the other for a split second and smirked as they thought, 'Screw being defensive. They won't know what hit 'em.'

Naruto then reached the middle of the circle, impaled the lance on the ground, and grabbed Sakura's forearms to swing her around, while Sakura reenforced her body with Shunko to minimize the damage to herself.

One nin's head was turned nearly completely around from the force of the girl's foot striking his cheek, while another got clipped across the chest and was sent flying from the bridge, where he died on impact with the water. The rest of the nin were lucky to only receive a few broken ribs and being sent to the ground when they tried to roll with the force of the attack.

Naruto ended the move by throwing his wife into the air and grab the Kain's Lance into his hand before swinging full force in a circle to hit any struggling to their feet. Sakura, in the meantime, quickly grabbed as many kunai as she could from her holster and began to pick off the ones who were furthest from the center of the circle within seconds, her new eyes helping her to focus more easily on her prey and her enhanced body moving faster than they could run.

When she landed and stood back-to-back with Naruto, a hidden blade in each hand and her arms in a cross-guard position with her bracers, there were only three jounin on their knees as they clutched their wounds but were still breathing somewhat steadily, while the last two jounin and the seven chuunin who had managed to catch up to them were now dead.

The children's ambush had taken only one minute.

They both then heard a slow clapping and a deep chuckle, and Kitsune (Naruto Sr) stepped over the side of the bridge, an easy grin on his face, while a company of ANBU nin shunshined into view along with the Shinigami lieutenants and seated officers. While the ANBU glanced between the children and the downed ninja, Kitsune just shook his head. "Serves the fools right for underestimating you based on your age. If they had been anywhere decent, they would have questioned why you had stopped and then observed from a distance. You showed that you have a bloodline, and they should have assumed from the get-go that you have full mastery of it, whether or not they think it's true."

Naruto reverts into his state and raised an eyebrow at the man, as he smirked. "So...what? You would have preferred that they took us seriously and prepared for our ambush? For shame, Tou-san, letting two inexperienced genin take on five jounin and seven chuunin alone."

Kitsune just snorted and waved it off. "We'd gotten here around the same time as you did. At first, I thought that you had sensed us, but when you slipped in battle stances, I had assumed you were followed and had our group hold back. No sense in showing all of our cards when we can set up a back-up trap in case your own went haywire."

Sakura just shook her head before glancing at her husband and grinning. She sashayed over to him, causing his eyes to trail down to her hips and making him gulp, and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. When she pulled back, she purred lowly, "Let's go back, koi."

Naruto nod at his wife, since before that.

He glanced around, looking at the dead or dying, and he noticed the body of the head nin who was doing most of the talking earlier lying on the ground. Walking over and crouching down, he looked more closely to see a radio earpiece stuck to the side of his head, and Naruto grabbed it and straightened again, looking at the device in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a burst of static, and an elderly voice called out, "Team leader, come in. What is your status? If the Kurosaki have run off, do not pursue!"

Naruto turned to the ANBU standing nearby the nin and made a chopping motion to the neck. The ANBU complied and knocked out the three remaining Iwa nin before they could say anything. The ANBU then knelt down and check to ensure they were unconscious before turning back to Naruto and giving him the green light.

Naruto raised the earpiece to his ear, and he donned his hollow mask with voice cut through the silence. *Am I correct in assuming that I am speaking to the Tsuchikage? No. Don't bother answering. It'll reach his ears soon enough anyway, so do me the favor of shutting up and listening. My name is Naruto Kurosaki, the Black Savior and the Moon Slayer. I don't care what my former parents did to you and Iwa, and I have a feeling that you don't either. However, I will give this one and only warning. If you ever pull another stunt like this, what Minatao did to your soldiers will seem like mercy in comparison to what I will do to your village. If you want to talk to me that badly, then you will come to the Hokage and request to do so like a civilized human being. If you and your kind leave us alone, then I will do the same. If you try to capture or kill myself, my wife, or my future children ever again...*

He let out a dark maniac chuckle. *Well, let's just say there will be only four major ninja villages when I am done. Catch my drift?* He then crushed the earpiece in his hand.

Silence passed over the bridge again, and Naruto turned to the others as his remover his mask. "Sakura and I will head back now to continue our honeymoon. We'll see you in the village square when you're done here, tou-san."

The Masked Naruto nodded and turned to the men to give them their orders, while Sakura, her own shunko now gone, stood next to Naruto before the two flashed away.

==Meanwhile in Rock Country==

Deep in a tower overlooking the mountainous village of Iwakagure, there was a small conference room. The room was sparse, save for a meeting table, some chairs, and a radio communicator near one of the ends. Around the device sat four people, and one of these people was Onoki he still had his old uniform. Hanging off his neck behind him was the Tsuchikage's brown diamond hat.

Ōnoki gazed at the device in front of him, a blank stare on his face as he went over the young man's words in his head. Many in Iwa would call for the boy's death for saying that, or at least those amongst the civilians and lower-ranked ninja – hence the reason why this operation was supposed to be a secret and limited to only the thirty nin he had spared. Iwa ANBU would have been overkill, and you don't send them on escort missions unless the person was a Daimyo or a relative of one – in other words, someone you could not afford to have die under your watch. Not to also mention the fact that if he did send them, it was basically a declaration of war to any who recognized them, since ANBU were also known for being the primary executioners of shinobi. The equivalent would have been like sending a headsman and his axe to escort a prince to a potentially hostile kingdom – it was like saying, "We are taking this person, and he and/or she is mostly likely just going to be killed upon arrival."

Ōnoki scowled as he gazed at the nervous subordinates that surrounded him, gritting his teeth hard as he asked as calmly as he could, "I believe I had given explicit orders to those men that the Kurosaki was 'only' to be approached and asked to come with them. If the boy refused, then they were to merely extend an offer to come here of his own free will and assured safety and then LEAVE! So do you want to tell me how I managed to lose thirty good men under my command on what was only supposed to be a DIPLOMATIC MISSION?!"

The jounin commander cowered a little but managed to reply, "Ts-Tsuchikage-sama, I-I had thought that, um, given the number of men used, the former son of the Namikaze, Kurosaki was supposed to go with them no matter what. So, uh, I, um kind of gave them an order before they left to make sure that he did-"

"IDIOT!" Ōnoki roared. "Do you have any idea what kind of political backlash we may receive because of that?! In case you failed to actually read the intelligence reports I had given you, the boy and his wife not only are both under the care of his goddamn Hokage, but he had also managed to garner interest from the fucking FIRE DAIMYO! Whether or not it is true is irrelevant, because if it did turn out to be true, we could see sanctions placed on us worse than what Suna had! Those thirty nin were meant to act as a PROTECTION detail if the boy and his wife accepted, should any of the other villages get the smart idea of trying to kidnap either child on the way here! But NOOOOOOOO, they just had to take the threatening stance due to their strength in numbers, and LOOK WHERE THAT GOT THEM! Hell, they even attacked both the boy and a villager from a neutral village right in front of ONE OF THE FUTURE 12 FIRE GUARDIANS, THE BODYGUARDS OF THE FIRE DAIMYO! IF THE FIRE DAIMYO FINDS OUT THAT HE'LL THE TELL THE EARTH DAIMYO THE ACTIONS YOU CAUSED AND HAD OUR VILLAGE TERMINATING!"

The man paled, but whatever he was going to say was cut off when Ōnoki made a motion, summoning an Iwa ANBU, and said, "Take him and execute him. Preserve the head. We'll need it in case the Earth Daimyo comes calling."

The ANBU saluted, slapped a suppression seal on the man, and shunshined both of them away.

Ōnoki sighed and leaned back into his chair. He really was feeling his old age, and often wondered how it was that the Hiruzen Sarutobi had continued doing his job the second time around before he re-take his seat and had his de-age is younger days. 'Maybe I really am getting too old for this. Since I never get to chance to talk to him to de-age me. Unfortunately, if I retire, then I'll have to pick a successor who wouldn't be stupid enough to do what the idiot just did, and they are few and far in between. Maybe Kurotsuchi when she's a little older and learned to temper her personality a little bit when it comes to the village. Loyalty's one thing, but fanaticism could cause major diplomatic problems. Or maybe her father, Kitsuchi, once I can find a more suitable replacement for him on the field. Yes, he could do.'

He then turned to the remaining occupants and leveled a stare at them before saying, "In case you have not realized, Iwa is still severely undermanned due to the Third War, even nearly twenty years after the fact. I wanted to ask Naruto Kurosaki to come here in order to persuade them to join our forces in a joint village operation, or at the very least, I wanted offer him the possibility of taking some Iwa girls as his wives to foster cooperation. We cannot take another hit like what happened in the Third War, and doing this would have allowed us to come to an agreement with Konoha for a more permanent cease-fire now that they have a Kurosaki back in the village, since the Namikaze Clan is strictly liquefied its clan status, and even their Jinchuuriki daughter. Now, because of that fool's idiocies, it'll be a long time before anyone would ever be able to approach them with such an arrangement, as they'll now be watching us and any other village too closely for us to gain anything from the agreement."

Ōnoki sighed again and got up from his chair. "As of right now, I want no one even thinking of approaching the Kurosaki. Their skills with their bloodline are an unknown during the chunin exams since he overpowered Ulquiorra or Koumori, and they may treat us as a threat the next time they see an Iwa nin. I will not lose any more ninja under my command because of a diplomatic SNAFU. Start informing the rest of the higher-ups – tell them we have adopted a wait-and-see approach to the matter. In the meantime, I'll go and prepare for the inevitable message from the Earth Daimyo."

==Back at Nami==

Naruto was lying on the bed in the guest bedroom, his hands behind his head as he stared blankly at the ceiling. Sakura was in the bathtub upstairs, while Naruto had used the single shower on the ground floor.

'Today...was the first time...'

The thought sent a shudder throughout his body before he shook his head. 'No! Get over it! You've seen death before during joint team's first C-turned-B rank mission! Now is not the time to lose it! Come on, get it together!'

"Koi?"

Naruto turned his head to see Sakura standing in the doorway now wearing her her pajamas - a white shirt with navy shorts. She was fidgeting slightly as she couldn't seem to hold her gaze on any one spot, and she silently closed the door behind her before she just stood there, as if she didn't now what to do next. When Naruto gently smiled at her and held out his hand to her, silently beckoning, she slowly approached the bed in a timid manner for a few seconds, her mind fighting with her body, before rushing to the boy and burying herself in his embrace.

Naruto pulled the bed covers over the two of them with one arm while holding Sakura's shaking body in the other. She had buried her face against his chest, and he complied to her silent command by wrapping the other arms around her, drawing her even closer into a tight embrace.

The two were silent for a little while, allowing them to draw comfort from each other's touch, until Sakura raised her head and gazed into his eyes. "Koi...what have I become?"

Naruto kept his soft smile on his face while he leaned in to kiss her forehead. "It's okay, Sakura. It was our second kill out in the field and-"

Her eyes turned fearful as she gripped his shirt harder and said forcefully, "That's not what I meant! I 'know' it was my second kill during the forest of death, now its the third and I know it's going to be hard to get over! Naruto, I'm scared not because I had to do it, but because-!"

Her head dropped and she leaned against his chest again as she said lowly, "...Because I enjoyed it. I 'enjoyed' watching those men die. I even thought that they all 'deserved' it. Koi...what am I turning into?" A few tears escaped her eyes, and she whispered out, "Have I...become a monster?"

Naruto's eyes hardened, and he cupped his wife's chin and made her look at him as he shook his head. "No! Don't you dare start blaming yourself! I know you, Sakura-chan! I know you, and I know for fact that my saiai is not cruel! You did what you did because they threatened us! If they had hurt you, I would have done worse! FAR worse! And I would have thought they deserved it as well, even if their bodies were nothing more than paste! You, my saiai, my blossom, my angel of mercy – you do not have the capacity to be evil! So don't you ever dare think that you are a monster, because no monster can ever hold the light you have inside you!"

He calmed down a little and then pecked her on the lips before he gently bumped his forehead against her own. "Because I won't ever let that light inside you die. Okay? So don't worry anymore, because no matter what happens, I will still love you."

She gazed at the boy- no, 'man' she loved, shock splayed a little on her sorrowful face, before the shock gave way to relief and a little happiness. She once more buried her face into his chest, and Naruto stroked her hair and kissed her head as she quietly sobbed.

Outside the door, Sode no Shirayuki gazed through a small crack in the door frame upon the scene with sadness before she quietly closed the door. Still, a small smile crept onto her face, though it still had a hint of sadness to it. 'Don't you ever think of leaving this world before him, Sakura-sama. Because if you did, I don't think that boy would last longer than a day before he joined you. Like Sakurayuki-sama told me to...just take care of him...he needs you like Kagome-sama when Hagoromo-sama needs her.'

She disappeared in the ice returns to Sakura's mind. Tomorrow was a big day.

==Next Morning==

As Naruto walked through the forest to the clearing, with his full attire he listened to the wind blowing through the trees. He didn't know why that sound alone made him feel so at peace, but he wasn't about to question it. After all, he had a feeling things were about to become even more hectic than usual in the time to come, and he was going to need all the peace he could get.

The trees gave way to the clearing, as he took out a sheathed katana that Naruto got it from Itachi, that turns out it was Kushina's gift. Since Naruto did unwrapped his gift since and took out a note along with it and read it out loud:

,',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',

- Naruto-kun

I know you still upset about your Kushina-sensei's actions? Since I salvage the sword you broke, the Jinsoku Karyū (Quick Swirling Current). So I had Tenzin to repaired it and adding and implanted the same metal you obtained it. Since this made this blade is stronger and endurable. (AN: Jinsoku Karyū is a Ninja Sword.)

So...gave them a chance...if you are still willingly to gave them a chance...

- Itachi

',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',',','

Naruto was sighed about Itachi gave him the same sword that he broke it, since Tenzin had that blade fixed, as he could see the sun still climbing over the horizon, bathing everything in its yellow morning light, contrasting the ocean waves that were a pale blue, not yet turning the darkish hue of later on in the day. Alone on the hillside, Naruto took a breath before he took out his ninjato.

He began practicing his swordplay, performing swings and slashes against an imaginary opponent in high speed. He spent a few hours practicing to perfect his sword skills before he fell on his knee, panting. He still remember both of his damn godparents!? He was not fond of Jiraiya and Tsunade since when he was young he pushed his parents to focus on Hitomi as per a prophecy and decide to give her both the toad contract and the slug contract. Not that he and she cared, he had the white tiger contract and the Elder Dragon contract. Which were 2 of the most powerful contracts out there with toad or slugs be just below them. Since his sibling figure decide to have the each of their own summons.

He looked at sun is almost rising, as move his sword straight back and channel his chakra on the blade and yelled. "Fūton: Kazekiri!(Wind Release: Wind Cutter)" He unleashes a blade of a crescent wave shots at the sun that still rises, as the gale vanish.

He held the sword there for a few more seconds before sheathed it in scabbard with a click and place it in the sword holster in place, making sure it was secure for the trip back to Tazuna's.

He looked out across the horizon again, and even though a few more tears fell down his cheeks, he allowed a set, determined smile onto his face. "My future is my own. No more complaining, no more fending myself to the garbage. I'll fight to my last breath for those I love and what I believe in, and screw anyone who tries to stop that. I fight for me and mine – no one else. And if the world doesn't like it and tries to push me, then I'll push back even harder and prove to them that I bow to no one."

Dropping to his knees and raising his hands, Naruto screamed out to the horizon, "YOU HEAR ME, WORLD?! MY NAME IS NARUTO KUROSAKI! YOU CAN BEAT ME! YOU CAN MAKE ME SUFFER! YOU CAN TRY TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING! I'LL NEVER LOSE THE WAR! AND I'LL NEVER LET YOU WIN! YOU HEAR ME?! I WILL NEVER BE NEGLECTED AND BROKEEEEEN!"

He then laughed with relief, as if he felt his heart get a little lighter than before. Sure, it was going to be hard, but then again, life was never easy or else it wouldn't mean anything.

Amongst the trees, Sakura stood there, fully-dressed and awake, watching him with a happy smile on her face as a tear fell down her own cheek. 'There's my man. Welcome back, my darling koi...'

==Meanwhile at Konoha==

Hitomi was walking the streets heading for her destination until she passed the Yamanaka flower shop; she remembers that by this hour Ino should be working as part of her shift. She enter the shop to see Ino putting some flowers in their rightful place, she turned around to greet the guest because she heard the door been open. She smiled but her smile faded as soon as she saw the kushina-like face that she recognized her purple eyes with her red hair is dyed change into purple haired genin during the celebration, she quickly turned her back to her while Hitomi was expecting this kind of behavior from her best friend. After all she hasn't forgiven her for the things she and parents did to Naruto in the past, Hitomi gaze at her she wanted to talk to her even if she was going to ignore her.

"Hey Ino, how are you doing?"

The Yamanaka didn't reply she still had her back turn to her while she continue to assemble the flowers, Hitomi sighed. "Of course you won't talk to me, you haven't forgiven me for being not told you about I had a brother, you have every right to treat me like this, since I've met you, but I came here to tell you that even if you won't talk me I want you to know that you're still my best friend Ino..."

The bleach blond was still doing her work while a few tears escape from Hitomi's eyes. "You don't know how sorry I am, for throwing our friendship during my 1st birthday, because of me, I have also threw away Naruto-niisan's childhood with me. Because of my former parents did. They pushed him away to trained me of the most important person in my life, my own twin brother."

Ino was still doing her work with her back turn and Hitomi was sobbing softly. "You have every right to hate me, but I lost many friends respected me, no matter what you're still my best friend and Naruto-nii will remain my brother and nakama, even if he hates me or not and my former parents did, and my former godparents. It's time for a change I promised you. I will never be selfish ever again this is a new me, I will also earn your trust again Ino, the same with Naruto because I love you both…"

She was going to say something else but the sound sobbing interrupted her, she notice that the sobbing was coming from the Yamanaka who stop assembling the flowers. Ino look back at her drying her tears, it was futile as more tears emerge from her sky blue eyes.

"Look what you make me do redhead. I have wet the flowers in my tears."

Hitomi chuckle at her comment seeing that Ino was crying she went to her giving her a big hug, she accepted her hug feeling maybe she will forgive her and they can forge their friendship once again. Ino broke the hug while drying her tears, Hitomi was happy this at least Ino didn't seem to hate her.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you. I know I did wrong, I shouldn't have abandoned you when you needed me the most I know you were feeling terrible for what happened at the Chunin Exams but I was so upset with you."

"It's all right Ino, you don't have to apologize. I had it coming I'm just happy that you're not angry at me anymore."

The bleach blond frowned. "Who says I'm no longer angry with you, I'm still am your friend? But you better apologize to Naruto when he returns with forehead in his first honeymoon, or I will never forgive you."

"I will, after all. I have time to write my apology speech? I just hope he will accept my apology."

"We'll just have to wait and see, by the way Hitomi? I thought I heard wrong but when you were talking to me I kind of heard that you did you say 'former' to your parents and godparents? That's not the kind of word to call your parents and godparents that you like?"

Hitomi only sighed and explained. "I signed a emancipation contract for myself to moving/leaving out to my parents? And I've decide to disowned them along with my godparents. And refusal for being under apprenticeship to them, I decide to dyed my into purple and change my surname as 'Fujibayashi', that way I have no concern both Minato and Kushina are no longer parents before my former mother's punishment by my mother's mother Tsukiko-sama. And I live in the Apartment complex in Red district that Naruto-niisan used to lived? So…the landlord doesn't bother or mind about being a daughter of the former Yondaime, that's why I am longer their heiress like you did. Since I am still a Konoha-nin? That means I can take care myself without a parent."

Ino's eyes widened in shock while her mouth was wide open, did she heard right did her parents; the Kiiroi Shinkō (Yellow Flash) and Shinko Shi (Crimson Death) who were once her parents, along with Tsunade the Namekuji-hime (Slug Princess) and Jiraiya the Gama Sennin (Toad Sage) just said that she didn't care for her parents and godparents and they can rot in hell what was wrong with this picture? Okay maybe she was dreaming perhaps she was working too much, never EVER she was going to hear Hitomi saying that she is no longer the daughter of Hokage. She quickly pinched herself and she was still standing at the flower shop while Hitomi was smirking at her, she looked at her in the eyes and out her hand on her forehead maybe she was having a fever making her delusional.

Hitomi sweat dropped seeing the Yamanaka's reaction. "Ino I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. I am no longer only child to the Namikaze anymore, or the Uzumaki."

"Okay, who are you and what have you done with redhead, Budō-tōbu (Grape Head)?" Causing Hitomi's left eye twitching for her new nickname.

"It's ME OKAY! So cut it out!" She said highly annoyed. "I finally realize he was not worth my time along with Sakura, I understand what he said earlier today and I went to the Wedding Ceremony between Naruto and Sakura. Before he save me from that 'man', and also gave me swords of his. I couldn't take it anymore, they only keep training me for matching with Naruto!? They way to talk to convinced by the Prophecy need to change if they convince me to change my mind. So I left and the I started to hate them for shunned my only brother I had!"

Ino was still shocked. "I…I can't believe you have gotten over them so fast just like that?"

"Well Ino, after he was being rejected so many times by them? I finally got the message Naruto was right all along, I will never care for someone like Minato-san, Kushina-san, Jiraiya-san and Tsunade-san? They have lost responsibility themselves in his life and they refuses to have any help from him, it will be better if we let them do things on their own without their only children and restarted their family too."

Hitomi continue. "They might want to get their pride back and restored, after all haven't you heard, after Minato's house arrest along with Kushina, we all know that a Ninja who leaves the village without orders from the Hokage the punishment is death."

"Obviously they will find him guilty along with his wife for their crimes, let's not forget that they betrayed the 'Will of Fire' that also counts as a crime in their abused, ignorance and favortisim, either way no matter what the sentence will be I am longer their daughter of Nii-san's declaration to chose his path in leaving the Namikaze Clan for their neglected actions."

Ino nodded in agreement knowing that her best friend was right. "Anyway I have to get back to work. I'll guess I will see you later, Hitomi."

"Yeah and there's somewhere I have to be. I will see you later Ino." She reach for the exit.

"Hey Hitomi!" The bleach blond called.

"What is it?" She asked while looking back at her.

"When you said you love me and Naruto both, in Naruto-kun's case what kind of love are we talking about?" She grinned a little.

Hitomi gasp while her face flushed. "It's nothing like that honest! I love him as a brother nothing more well, take care Ino." She quickly left the shop.

The Yamanaka smirk seeing her reaction. 'Well, well, maybe there's something more that Hitomi wants to earn from Naruto besides his friendship or sibling after all who would've thought... That includes... Her redemption.
