An: Thanks for the faves follows and reviews. I'm going to try to update more frequently. This chapter I worked on a lot planting seeds.

The night before

Sakura

She held the light into the eyes of the child.. Asuna is losing her sight. Doctors have predicted she'll be blind by twenty eight. The honey eyed child blinked behind the lens as the sensors were connected to her head. In order to attempt to save her sight her mother allowed her to be tested at the facility.

It's day two of her new prescription, coupled with specialized eye drops is the combination that their hoping for the best results. Today alone she tested 2 wheel chairs, and kid size home lifts. At lot was on the line, in her years after continuing education in pediatrics and opening an hospital she's becoming more involved in the medical world. She had a suspicion Naruto pitched her to the prime minister but she actually qualified for something of this importance. She knows his daughter hearing weighs heavy on him and she wants to try her best to help them. When Naruto married Hinata he finally settled. She didn't seem him as much in fact the kids see each other at school more then they do as friends. The tradition of their trip long forgotten after Neji. Tenten never comes around anymore she did open a small weapon shop but hired employees to take over while she laid low. Ino and Sai are content. Kiba is trying to give his daughter family. Hanabi well Sakura didn't hear much about her anymore and she didn't pry Naruto or Hinata for an update about her. Choji and Karui were probably the most stable of them all. Gaara had won another term as prim minister. The relationship Konoha has with Suna rubbed the other nations the wrong way and tension had been rising. Life had lead them different ways but they sometimes managed to all hang out and if not then the kids. She stretched her neck tossing her long pink tress over her shoulder and began writing down the observations of Asuna.

She missed her girls already. She shot a text to Naruto to have them call her tomorrow. Mikoto had been so excited she forgot her cell.

Sasuke

His black black eyes scanned the quiet city. It had to be fresh after midnight morning. Things were subtle now for him. He's settled into being on the streets again. Lurking and policing this city and his nation. He had family here so he wanted to protect it for them.

Taking a right he saw a man far off standing in the street. His eyes squinted and he parked the car getting out.

"Hey you lost?"

The man slightly turned and Sauske eyes saw eye hole and orange.

"Hey!" He yelled pulling out his gun and running after the man who bolted. His feet marched at the ground. Running to the end of the street taking left only to be meet with surrounding high rises, parked cars and himself. Taking deep breaths he turned around looking every way until he fell right on a car and slide down. His breathing became harder as he pulled out his phone and his thumb tweaked to find her contact.

He winced as his heart hammered his rib cage and the air intake and out take worked his lungs.

His lips dropped as he felt saliva slipping out the corners. Sakura is working. It was the only thought. He had making him decided against reaching into his pocket he grabbed the brown bag his wife always stuffed in his pocket and began breathing into it as fear and adrenaline took over.

He blinked into the blank space as he could filter if the man he saw was real or not.


Current timeUzumaki estate Mito

Sumire

Sumire had climbed down the camper. Mikoto had talked with her mom then her and Yoda went to the lake. Sumire knew then and there she would not go in.

She follows her mother into the kitchen she hopped on the counter as the spices from Mr. Chojis bbq is in the air. Her mother stood in front of the counter with pots before she turned and stuck her tongue out at her.

Sumire blushed a smile and stuck hers back out.

"Your not going swimming?"

Sumire shook her no looking down at herself. "My Tshirt will cling to me so"

Her mother bitterly sweetly laughed. " I would be lying if I said I didn't do the same at you age. Hiding"

Sumire eyes blinked up to her mother.

"It can't be helped. Let's make lemonade then"

Sumire smiled hugely before hopping down and running towards the basement to get the fruit and sugar.

Naruto

He held Himawari on his chest stepping into the water. He could feel her tiny fist clutch his arms.

"It's okay"

"Daddy!"She screeched

"It's just water"

Her blue eyes widen before she relaxed and laid against.

Boruto swam by with a huge smile on his face. "Good work Hima!"

"Yeah" Kawaki screamed from a few feet away and clapped. "Go Hima!"

Mikoto and Yoda joined him clapping and cheering her on.

Her fright turned to curiosity.

Mikoto

She hovered in the water next to Yoda and Kawaki. Shikadai swam over.

"Why is Sumire hiding?" The Nara asked

"Why do you care?" Yoda asked.

"She's probably playing with her dolls" Kawaki says

They all bust out laughing.

"Shut up Kawaki" Yoda Chime

"Your so mean to her" Mikoto said suppressing her laughs. "She doesn't play with dolls anymore" She defended.

"I just play around with her. " he says then looks ahead

"What?" She asked

"She has to be tough she is second eldest you know. "

Mikoto got that. She was an older sibling herself. "I know what's that like."

School would start again soon. "Seventh grade"

"Kawaki Mikoto grab a kid" Ino shrilled

They turns to see her with Cho Cho Sarada and Inojin.

Mikoto swam and reached for her sister as Kawaki got Cho Cho.

Her sister black hair quickly became wet as Boruto began splashing them.

"Grrrrrrr" she growled at him as Cho Cho cried.

"Boruto stop!" Uncle Naruto yelled at the boy.

Sarada began failing her arms and kicking her legs in the water to get to him.

Mikoto laughed as she held the wild child in place causing waves.

"Aw I'm sorry Sarada" the Blonde boy says.

Her sister stopped her tantrum while calling. "You mean it?"

Splash.

Sarada squealed as Uncle Naruto deadpan with a giggling Himawari.

"Me too big brother" she says.

"That's enough! Boruto go inside everyone let's get back at it " Her uncles said followed by the groaning boys.

Mikoto held the still frowning Sarada as Uncle hauled the boys away and Yoda swam back by her to hold Cho Cho.

Sumire

Sumire had began stirring the pale light yellow drink and made herself a glass when her Dad brought in a screaming Boruto.

"Hinata I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He acts out so much" he says.

"What happen?" Her mother asked.

"He splashed Sarada twice in the face"

His mother paused for a minute before walking towards her red face brother and took his hand. "I'll talk to him. Sumire can you serve everyone"

Sumire was peeking from the kitchen as her mother took Boruto to the back of their home. Her Dad a little behind them. Sheesh.

Boruto and Dad relationship was different from hers and their father. In fact even the way dad treated Kawaki was different from herself and her sister. He was much more gentle and patience with her and Hima.

There's a few seconds of quiet before The door slide open and the still dripping boys came in. Her heart froze as she saw his wet skin around mark faced and she blushed.

"You guys want Lemonade?" She asked Nervously before a big grin split her face as Shikadai Shinki Kawaki and Arya surrounded her.

She poured the pitcher carefully into the glasses as they each took one. She watched disgusted as the boys drank the liquid then burped loudly. Boys were gross well, she looked at Shinki as he burped really loudly but it's cute on some boys.

She pressed her fingers together nervously before sneaking another look at him.

He is adopted but his mannerism is just like his dad. He was very short and younger then her by two years. She was kind of tall , her hair was long as ever and her body was so weird. Her mother told her she was fine but still she's ashamed of these changes. Suddenly she felt like a giant around him.

"Sumire"

Her thoughts are reeled back in and she sees those green eyes encased in his tattoo like birth defect. She blushed. "Hey Did they all leave?"

"Their fighting over the shower"

"Oh" she said and that huge feeling came back to her. Her mom was a small women And next to her dad she was tiny. Aunt Sakura was taller but still Uncle Sasuke was bigger then her. Aunt Ino was probably the tallest lady she knew and the same hight as Mr.Sai. Yet her next to Shinki wasn't like that. Gah why did she feel like this every since her mother gave her a bra everything's been confusing.

"I can ask my mom if you can go in her room"

"Nah, I'll go in Miss Ino's camper"

There was an awkward silence as he tossed the glass in the sink gently. "Thanks Sumire"

"No problem" she blinked and watched him leave.

Hinata

Naruto had changed into something dry as she ran the bath water in their room. She could hear husband pause before leaving. Boruto sat in the tub as she cleansed him carefully making sure to comb each strand of his hair. Boruto is extremely fond of her and extremely critical of his father. Her heart faltered at the thought of their relationship. All Boruto and Himawari knew is their father busy schedule.They didn't know what it was like before.

She picked him up out of the tub and dressed him on her bed.

"Boruto you can't be so rough with friends. You have to handle them with care sometimes."

"I was only kidding!"

"I know but Sarada wears glasses right?"

"Yes"

"You have to be mindful of that. Always be mindful of people around you."

"Mindful?" He question. His one green one blue eyes stared at her with a tilted head. Her heart melted over. He was almost his father replica. Safe for those exotic eyes and her nose.

"It means to think of others before you act"

"Okay." He says. "It wasn't a big deal! Dad just exploded" he pauses with his hand under his chin. "What can I do to make it better"

"Apologize to her"

The boy sighed and his mother smiled at him while pinching his round cheek. "You'll do great"

Naruto

Ino was sitting with Mikoto, Yoda, Sarada and Cho Cho as Sumire joined them with drinks. Naruto stood in front of the boys as they lifted the plywood. His son is growing up. He put a lot of responsibility on Kawaki but he just treated him like he wanted his father to treat him if he had been around. Sumire and Himawari could do no wrong to him but sometimes he wonders about Boruto and Kawaki more. They were his legacy. It was something he and Sasuke couldn't do together as Sasuke didn't have a son. Maybe one day if he and Sakura did have one Naruto could be the one to give him advice. If he does a good job. It must be difficult to be a father to only girls. He never knew he would be one until Himawari. Sumire seem to just come with her mother and he accepted her raised her as his own but his youngest daughter almost completely having his face. It was much softer then his but he could still see himself there. He wanted to protect her from all things. When he looked at his sons he was anxious he spent so much of his life trying to be a good person. He wanted them to be too. His daughters he didn't have to worry about them. Sumire is passionate and Himawari kind. Kawaki is responsible and dependable. Boruto is self center and loud and to be honest he sees himself in him so much to a point where he wasn't sure if made him proud or terrified. A little bit of both he supposed.

"Sarada" his son yelled the girl stood up from the tent and walked away.

"No Boruto"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Sarada shook her head. "You went too far! I'll tell my Papa!"

The alarm grew on Borutos face and Naruto laughed out loud as Sarada Ran away with Cho Cho following her.

Boruto terrified faces sweat dropped as he walked towards him.

"Dad she won't forgive me!"

In that moment Naruto admired him silently. His two tone eyes and frown made his heart squeeze. In ways Boruto was nothing like him. He was adorable almost pretty. Especially when he sees Hinata DNA through the blonde hair and blue eyes. "You really messed up Boruto"

"What can I do?" He asked with a hint of frustration but desperation.

Naruto sighed amused at his son trying to win the perfect mixture of Sakura and Sasukes blood over. Naruto had a ghost of a shudder run through him as he thought about how hard his son will have it. "You figure it out"

Boruto frowned but then grew determined before running back towards the house.

Mikoto

She had ran after her sister following them to the garden.

"Boruto is so annoying " Cho Cho says

"Yeah!" Sarada shouts

"You should kick his butt!" The chief daughter eggs on.

Sarada balled up her fist and nodded. "Yeah! YEAH"

"I'm sure he didn't mean it." Kawaki says.

Mikoto amusement left as she hears his voice and pauses as he walks past her to the girls.

She walked forward as well.

"He's a pest but I'm sure he thought it was a game."

Sarada looked around towards Mikoto. "Maybe Sarada didn't think it was a game" Mikoto says

He stood up from bending down to Sarada looking back at her. "What?"

Why had she said that. She had plan to help Sarada forgive the Uzumaki but her words didn't match up with her thoughts and Kawaki is walking closer. Blushing a smile she stood her ground.

"Maybe" she breath. "Maybe Sarada didn't think it was a game at all"

It took him a few seconds before he figured her out. She was teasing him.

"You right Mikoto it wasn't a game" Sarada says and walks back to Cho Cho. Stubborn as ever.

"Fine let him suffer trying to make it up to her. I tried while you made it worse!"

She laughed more at him and stuck her tongue out at him. "He has to say it on his own. I know that would mean a lot to Sarada" she says softer.

"They get along don't they?" He asked "Sarada and Boruto"

"Yeah "

Mikoto looked back at her sister strut and Cho Cho do a cart wheel. She smiled at them. It was amazing how simple things were for them. It use to be that way for them.

"Go Cho Cho! You been practicing!" Sarada clap and cheered her friend on.

Cho Cho nodded. "Yeah I can show my boyfriend"

Mikoto deadpan. "Boyfriend?" She blurted out.

Cho Cho looked back at her. "Yes from the TV. Jimi is cute" she peeped with both hands on her cheeks.

She turned away from the girls.

"That be pretty sad if your sister and Cho Cho had boyfriends before you"

Mikoto face heated and she looked up at him.

"Gah Shut up!"

He laughs at her.

"Sumire and Boruto will get someone before you" his face dropped and she in turned laughed out loud at him then continued. "Even Hima-"

"No!" He barked it startled her.

"Himawari never" he says and Mikoto startled then her heart turned warm. With remaining giggles.

"Do you think seventh grade will be different?" She decides to change the subject for the sensitive brother.

"No why would it?" He asked. "We're still the same yeah?" He asked and turn to her with one of his eyebrows rising.

Mikoto smiled and nodded. "Yeah" she whispered.

Hinata

She been at her laptop typing when her distressed son burst in.

"Mom it didn't work!"

"What didn't?"

"My apologies please help me"

"Okay" she says clapping her hand. "Let me tell you a thing about us girls Boruto. Good food will always calm us down"

Naruto

He had all but been abandoned making the shed but he didn't mind the boys worked hard already and deserved some fun too. He was hammering a board when he saw Hinata in her shorts marching along with Boruto. Her exposed thighs that are usually hidden caused his eyes to linger and follow her. He hadn't seen her this uncovered in a while. What surprised him more was her holding fishing rods, bags and a basket as she walked up beat next to his son. Maybe he been too hard on Boruto by not giving him advice to make things right for Sarada. Hinata wanted him to spend time with them and teach them.

Dropping his tools he slowly followed them.

They sat by the edge of the lake two fishing poles and a waved basket by their side. He saw a few high quality fish in the basket from few feet away.

"What a haul " he says making himself present. He's impressed they were able to catch Mahi Mahi and fresh tuna.

"Dad Mom is so smart and strong!"

Hinata held a small smile at their son praise.

"Your very right about that son and beautiful "

"Ew"Boruto says but he's smiling.

Naruto chuckled at his son. Complimenting a flushing Hinata and dramatic Boruto are probably some of the most wholesome moments he has. Sometimes he lays it on extra thick to see his son and wife embarrassment. He focused back on the basket. Their were pairs of everything. Two tunas two Mahi's hey had only enough to feed themself. Choji BBQ wouldn't been done but he made an abundance for everyone.

He took off his shoes and sat behind Hinata on the dock. His hands pressed on her waist over her shorts as his head rested in her shoulder. He felt her melt into him and he squeezed her tighter before wrapping his arms underneath her chest tightly hugging her.

He heard a small noise escape her and she leaned forward so his blue eyes were eye level with her face.

"What was that"

He sees for a second she's flustered before she softly shakes him away. Her rejection stinging his ego only slightly but fueling him more.

Lazily he sat back and on the dock watching her squirm.

"Our boy's determined to get squid."

Somewhere stored in Naruto's memory from Sasuke his daughters loved squid.

Boruto's fishing pole started to pull.

"Mom!" He panicked

Hinata started to reach for it

"No wait hold on" Naruto said noticing Boruto was doing it himself while grabbing her elbow and pulling her back down softly into his chest.

"Reel reel reel reel reel " he's telling his son.

"It's too hard!"

"What if it's the squid"

Boruto growled and began pulling in even faster.

Naruto hid his amusement as Hinata sat up to hold Boruto shirt keeping him from falling in the water when the fish came flying up its yellow and green hues shined and they deadpan.

"Awww another Mahi" the Boy grunted.

"It'll be okay Boruto" His mother smooth him immediately on her feet "Here have some water"

Naruto stood up and pulled his shirt over his body before running and jumping in.

Hinata

"Naruto!"

"Dad!"

She yelled at the same time of her son.

When he came back up he held two slimy creatures in his hands.

"Go Dad!" Boruto cheered

Hinata watched as the boy ran to his father and played with the creature. In the end Sarada and Mikoto would enjoy the fish. It will be an apology from Boruto and a welcome for the girls who she knew missed their parents.

She began making a small pit as Naruto came around with the basket of meat.

She rubbed margarine on the pain and added spices as Naruto and Boruto sat around her. Naruto grabbed his knife and held it in Boruto hands "You have to respect your meal always but with living creatures you have to be a little more humble"

"Okay dad but their so yummy"

She could see Naruto smiling behind him but kept up his lesson. "Focus Boruto"

The father helped the son filet the fish before he began doing it own. Hinata tossed the Squid on the cast iron pan as she placed the fresh tuna in leaves she washed early on rice.

When she was done she grabbed the wooden bowl she brought with her and made three squid on the stick giving it to her son sending him off watching him walk away to find the youngest Uchiha.

"The Tuna is for you, Mahi is for Sumire and Kawaki"

"Playing favorites. So naughty"

Hinata shook her head no. "maybe a little but there isn't enough fish in the lake to feed us all"

Naruto sat in his amusement before he noticed her packing their area.

"Aren't you going to eat?

"No there both for you"

She said while grabbing her bag and a water bottle she settled against him running the water down his hands then hers before grabbing a handful of rice and tuna bringing it to his mouth.

He gladly accepted making sure to lick the sauce that stained her fingers.

Blushing as he leaned forward and grabbed a handful himself bringing it to her mouth.

"It's for you dear"

"Quiet Open up" he demanded and she gives in taking a bit and the fresh tuna rice and sauce was very delicious. She was met by something better her husbands lips.

Pulling away she opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Your all wet" She told him "let's get you dry. You can't get sick" she says. Knowing he would collapse in his desk before he took a day off especially after this rarity of time off.

They stood up side by side walking back.

"I'm alright" he said and she's off her feet into his arm. She blushes as they began to walk up the hill.

"Let's see if our boy is successful this time" Naruto tells her.

Hinata giggled, happy and content. The odd air around Naruto and Boruto dissolved. She knows those two care about each other. They just have a different understanding then the rest of the kids. In the end Naruto was proud of him and Boruto admire his dad.

Naruto

He watched as Boruto and Sarada ate their squid and the Uchiha girl was no longer upset but smiling as Mikoto ate hers.

He put Hinata down who told Kawaki there may or may not be more food bythe river he took the Hint and went to go get his.

Cho Cho made a fuss but her five star father gave her the first plate of food. Everyone chowed down at the Yamanaka Camper. He set next to his wife and the shed had been pushed to the back of his mind. He could finish tomorrow. He's well rested and spending time with his family. Tonight is for his wife.

As the sunset and she finished eating he immediately picked her up startling everyone.

"Naruto!" She shriek

"Dad" "Daddy" "Dad " Boruto Sumire and Kawaki question.

"Sorry kids sometimes when love calls you have to go running" he said sprinting away.

Sumire

She smiled at her father antics as Kawaki blushed and Boruto is confused.

"Your Dad still an idiot"

"Dad?" "Papa!" Mikoto and Sarada jumped up to hug the still in uniform Sasuke.

She greeted Mr. Uchiha with a wave.

Naruto

Hinata made him take a hot shower put on socks and a robe. She followed suit and joined him on their bed. His hands went under her robe and exposed her thigh.

"Impatient " she says

"I've waited long enough" he says when in reality she's been waiting.

She seem to finally let loose then and kisses his neck and down his body. He closes his eyes. He had wanted to rock her world but she always going things like this. Putting him first. He didn't have the will or heart to stop her. Selfishly he accepted her because he knew he could and she wouldn't mind or fuss. Spoiled, he is so spoiled.

How long has it been? He's a mess. He thought when she finished he could immediately go to her but he's so tired he can only lazily touch her as he gathers all his strength back.

However her loud moan reminds him she's been waiting pushing back whatever lag he had he dived right into his wife.

Hinata

She hates how weak she is for him. How she can't control herself now even as she gets older when it comes to him. It didn't take much for her reach heights when he is near but she should have more will then this she shouldn't be this crazy over him but she is and her body is and it doesn't take much at all. She muffled herself. At least she could control how loud she is now. Opening her eyes Hinata Stared at him her. She notice he was trembling and he seem very concentrated. She already felt wonderful but was he was trying to keep going? She was okay he didn't need to do that. Breaking his contractions to meet him with her hips he lost himself unexpectedly and a loud groan escaped his pink lips as his body fail viticm to hers and she to had one more rapture by feeling his. She squeezed him so tight to her until she heard snoring.

A chuckle left her lips as she held him on her chest. Not too upset they were stuck like this. The kids could burst in any minute but he looks so peaceful. Naruto only snored this loud when he goes to sleep extremely pleased. She loved it eventually she made them both decent. She brushed her teeth and changed while laying a sheet over him.

Walking into the hall she hugged her sides feeling giddy. It had been a while but that doesn't matter. For her husband , for Naruto she will always wait and be willing and make him feel safe to come to her even if it's not for long or consistent. Being married wasn't just about that at least not for her. Being his wife, having his children, his meals and his home. Doing his laundry and sometimes when they have time. She'll spread herself completely for him.

If he's just having a bad day at the office and she could make it better for him she's content. She's happy. She wonders how he would feel if she published that in her new book.

When she walked outside she saw the kids around a camp fire with marshmallows and chocolate.

Choji and Karui stood by them and rose their beers to her she waved back and began counting her children. Kawaki Sumire and Boruto. She didn't see Himawari. She scanned the area but arguing caused her to pause and see Kiba.

"My friend is sleep the least you could do is stay another damn hour" he barks picking up their crying daughter putting her into the Jeep.

"Shut up your scaring her"

The man grunted. "You could win an Oscar with that act".

"It's not my fault your so damn violent"

"What do you want from me? I'm tired of fucking doing this with you"

"Guys " Hinata says and walks to his side.

Tamaki was crying and screaming at him. "Your so embarrassing I don't even know why we try"

"I'm here for my kid because she's mine and you probably have here everywhere she doesn't need to be chasing rich guys like you do" he yelled "FUCK " followed and everyone could feel the hatred in how loud he screamed it.

Hinata was slapped with a gush of wind as Naruto and Sasuke were pulling Kiba away. Hinata watched her husband and she felt terrible. He either is in a deep comatose sleep or light sleep where anything wakes him up. It's getting worse as he goes on this way. Even though he's a hero to many including her he's still human.

So much for him getting rest. Hinata stepped in the car. Sasuke was here she noted before looking at the crying mother and child.

"You can come inside Tamaki"

"Yeah right " she says.

"Mommy" Wasabi says.

"Who knew one week would have me locked in for life" Tamaki says and looks at her daughter.

"Mommy it's okay don't cry Daddy's just upset he will get better"

Tamaki shook her head no but smiled at her child. "Your right"

" Wasabi why don't you go with Boruto and Sarada while I talk with your mommy"

Wasabi nodded as Tamaki helped her unbuckle and Hinata opened the door she jumped down and ran to her friends.

Hinata felt proud of her son a few feet away soothing her before she turn back to the women.

"What's going on?"

"He hates me for what I did it lingers and it hovers over us. "

"Why stay together"

"Because he is a good guy, he has a good job. He take cares of me and Wasabi. He stepped up and I love him for that. He can't let it go and it's making all of us miserable"

"You can stay and be miserable or you can just go. Free everyone involved"

"Is that what you did?" She sniffed

"Yeah I did and it's the best decision. He never let you suffer and you can always call us if you need anything"

Hinata knows she could've been Tamaki. When she went to the trip and Naruto was there they went alone to the lake. Away from his wife away from her husband. Kawaki had fell asleep they could've easily lost them self now knowing how he felt about her back then but they didn't. They tried to do the right thing by their spouses so many times but in the end it didn't work out.

"If you want she can stay here. While you figure things out."

She nodded. "Tell him I'm going home"

Sasuke

They held the man who had tears in his eyes looking away from them. "I can't forgive her. No matter how much I try. You make a women mother and you take her in. Leaving behind all your dreams to put food on table and in Tamaki's case in Gucci. My beautiful wonderful kid is the only thing that keeps me"

"You can't live like that" Naruto argued.

"You know what it's like Naruto, no you don't Shion never slept around and got you arrested with your kid in there"

"Tamaki was young I'm sure neither of you thought you become connected through Wasabi" Sasuke told him.

He's quiet for a long time before he composes himself. "I miss Tenten" he says randomly.

Sasuke and Naruto look at each other then him.

"That's the kind of girl you get knocked up or Marry not the one I choose. Naruto you should warn your sons about these hoes"

"Okay you had enough let's get you into bed."

"You sure there's room?" Sasuke asked Naruto. His best friend was a social butterfly.

"Damn it" Naruto said at the new problem.

"I can take him to the city on my way back"

"Your going back so soon?"

"Sakura has the night off so"

"No then we can't delay you. If your wife is waiting" Naruto teased.

As if he had room to speak on that. "What did you say earlier? When love comes calling"

Naruto barked out a laugh. "You heard that?"

"Yes unfortunately"

"That women is too much" Naruto shudders.

Sasuke saw the goofy look on his face. "What?"

"It's nothing really, it's just I tried to focus on her and she just ended me "

"In any case your iron will lacks somewhere "

"Bullshit, I bet Sakura ended you plenty"

Well yes she did but he didn't need to know that. He likes to think he's the only one who clam that temper.

"Jeez he is heavy how much did he drink ya know"."let's take him to the basement there's a small cot" the blonde said.

They got Kiba down and flipped him on his stomach with a bucket near by.

"Kiba puke in the bucket and not near my wife hard work ya know"

Sasuke looked around at the jarred fruit and vegetables.

"You have any white cherries?"

Naruto went and grabbed him a jar. "Himawari also has a three rows of Sunflowers out there. Also some fancy paper wrapping" Naruto hinted.

He could've went to the store but he knows she would be surprised he was here and feel better knowing he checked on the girls.

He followed him up to Sumire's and Himawari's room. He saw his daughter things spread about mixed in with others.

"It's a pig sty" how could such cute little girls could be so unorganized.

"Is your OCD flaring?" Naruto rebuttal. "Here red and gold"

"Thanks Naruto"

"Don't mention it, just make it up to your niece. That paper is expensive I should know I bought it for Christmas ha know"

Sasuke was in debt of a four year old but it will be worth it. Sakura is working hard down there everything would be closed but crappy convinced stores by time he would make it to her.

"How is she?"

"Hima's fine. Her laugh is louder then most kids and sometimes her speech struggles but she pushes through the doctor says her siblings are the reason for the rare ability to control the disorientation of her voice."

"I wouldn't question you but how everything happen. You never gave an explanation"

"It was accident. You know that's very hard on Hinata and all of us"

"She's the same women we saw holding Sumire back then." He paused. Hinata wasn't the most physical but he's seen her protect Sumire. The day Himawari cut her ear. A few laws were broken." Kawaki drove your car!"

"Everybody has us under a microscope. You will too?"

"Forget it" Sasuke said. It didn't matter. He trust Naruto but still Sakura response to the situations. The lengths she goes to help Naruto and most their friends. Sometimes not always legal.

"We took such measures for Sumire. I hadn't mean to keep you and Sakura in the dark about what's going on"

"I get that. Sakura did what she could but seriously you were there when she miscarried I think we're past sensitive topics" he could've named so many times but that time still stung.

Naruto paused. "Hinata sometimes" he says the and stops and Sasuke could see the pain it caused Naruto to say that. "Sakura and Ino getting to Himawari saved us from a lot of scrutiny. That day"

He gets a man wanting to protect his wife.

"I don't mean to pry." Sasuke told him. He didn't get much out of him but it has to do with Hinata. He should respect this boundary Naruto put up but if they needed help again they needed to know the situation. At least Sakura should. Now they know it was a concern with Narutos wife.

Usually he and Sakura were the ones who kept intimate things from Naruto but seems Naruto wanted to keep things discreet about what happen with Hinata that day. Whatever it is Sasuke would have to wait on Naruto's time to tell him.

Naruto

Naruto watched him walk towards Himawari garden. No he didn't want to talk about it. No he didn't want to tell anyone but knowing Sasuke and Sakura would aid him anyway made him happy. More then it should. He never expected more from them but to be around but they actually care. About him and his family.

He sighed as he watched the night. People began to scatter into the house but Sai stood down by the lake with Himawari. As he became close he realized his daughter was bouncing around on the beach moving rocks along an elaborate path. Everything in his body wanted to go back to bed but his heart pulled him to her there.

"Hima"

"Wait" Sai said " for a four year old her asymmetrical ability is very impressive"

The surprised father studied the giant rock placement of yellow and brown rocks making a huge flower head. Sure it's pretty but Sai expressed it a bit over the top she's just a kid playing around.

"Naruto I never seen such prefect circles from a child this young. Does she like art?"

"She" he stumbles a bit of putted by the artist burst of euthanasia's. " Paints pictures of us"

"Let me see"

Naruto pulled out his phone and showed him a picture of the ones on his desk.

"Wow Naruto!"

"What?" He asked looking at the awkward drawing of his face.

"It's abstract and astonishing!" He wiped the corner of his eyes. "It's self taught from the mind at such a age give me that paper. I can submit it into the children's art exhibition"

"Whoa whoa Sai" Naruto laughed. "It's just a painting" he says and he really didn't want to give it away.

"My son will inherit my pieces. It's called Generational wealth. "

Naruto looked down at his phone then daughter. "It's not about the money". "I'll talk about it with my wife and Himawari"

"Okay, just put that painting in a dry safe place" he urged.

"How much do think that is worth"

"How old was she when she made it?"

"3"

"Then 3"

"Hundred?"

"Hundred thousand"

Naruto was so stun he deadpanned.


In the end Naruto allowed the kids to have fun with each other and finished the shed with the guys. Choji and Kiba were the first families to leave. Kiba took Wasabi with him and said he and Tamaki would be having dinner to discuss things. Naruto wished him well. The next family to leave was The Yamanakas it was odd to hear Sai praise his daughter work but if anybody knew about the art world it was Sai. Himawari seem to pay attention but not really. Sai wanted to give her a lesson before the fall exhibition to see if this is something she wanted. Hinata told him we would have to discuss it more and left it at that. Gaara had the service collect his children and nephews as they flew back to Suna. The Uchiha girls stayed for a few weeks. Sasuke visited frequently. They went swimming camping and fishing with Naruto and the Uzumaki bunch until those five weeks were over.

Mikoto

She Said goodbye to Sumire who seem a bit down. She wrapped her arm around her back and hugged her close. "It'll be okay"

"Your right" Sumire nodded before she greeted Sarada.

She looked from her her friends purple hair blowing in the wind then back to the awaiting Kawaki awkwardly they hugged.

"See ya " she says and grabs her bag over her shoulder to get in her uncles car.

Uncle Naruto drove them back and when she walked into her house. She could she her mother dusting.

"Mom!"

"Mama!"

Sakura

She reached and grabbed a handful of her children's and held them close to her.

"I miss you both "

"I miss you too " Mikoto smiled as Sarada hugged her leg tighter.

She missed them more then she could ever say. She enjoyed her job and helping people but being a mother trumps all. Sharing these two with Sasuke was her best accomplishment.


A week before school.

Sasuke sat in a recliner. They were settled in their farm house because it's more secluded from the city. He had to admit when his whole family was together he could do things like sit in a recliner and watch a game. Sakura and Sarada were out shopping. Mikoto hadn't wanted to go and locked herself up in bed al day. He's checked on her twice and decided for a third time he would go again.

Standing up he walked down the hall. A wall of photos of his daughters meet him. His lips curved as he past it. His sweet angles were everything to him.

When opened the door. He saw his daughter lazily against her headboard her black hair cuffing her face and green eyes a bit misty.

"Dad could you knock" she says

He raised his hand and hit the door once.

"They left me!"

"You said you didn't want to go" he reminded.

"I changed my mind" she shakes her head.

"What's the matter?". "Your in a mood"

She smiles and sits up better in her bed. "I'm just like my Papa then"

He walked in closer and sat on her bed. "How's your singing?"

She shrugs. "I haven't practice much Sumire and I just sang all summer until Kawaki and Boruto kicked us out ha ha ha" she laughs at the memory then sighs.

"Dad I have a feeling, that things will be different you know at school"

He watched as she blinked to herself with a pout. Rising his wrist he poked her forehead and she looked at him and smiled.

She was pretty just like her mother. She's growing up and that's something he hadn't noticed.

"Things will always change but me your mother and your sister will always be here changing with you"

The girl sat in those words and when she thought about that it made her feel less lonely about going to a new school without Sumire again and having a schedule with no familiar faces.


Next chapter will be Kawaki's then to finish it'll focus back on the adults. Last chapter Sarada's prologue.
