A\N: I am so sorry for not updating for months now but I've been so busy, then I fell ill. I'll try to update better now but school is in session so I make no promises. Please read the author's note at the end of this chapter, to all my new followers welcome... Enjoy


Inoichi watched his friend as he slaved away at his desk. He'd been standing there for a few minutes now trying to think of what to say to him. Two weeks ago Uzumaki Kushina had walked into this very office and asked Konoha's current Hokage for a divorce, and of course Minato granted it. As everything did in a village run by ninjas, the news traveled fast through the shinobi ranks and towards the civilians as well. Besotted women now knew their handsome and gentle Homage was now single and were elated at the chance. Only his closest friends knew how bad he was handling the split. One of Minato's prized student's Nohara Rin had come by a week ago to visit and Minato who would usually give her his undivided attention had ignored her for half her visit as he did paperwork with only one worded responses the remaining time she spent there (according to ANBU Tiger).

"Minato it's Shikaku's birthday, you can't spend it cooped up in your office, a few of our friends are waiting for us so we can celebrate, so come on" Inoichi insisted softly as he held open the door of the office. A few moments passed before Minato sighed, dropping his pen as he rose from his desk. "As long as we don't go to a bar" "No problem" Inoichi agreed with a large smile as he closed the door behind himself and began walking in step with his fellow blonde. "So where are we going? " "Kadoshi's"


Minato glanced around as he walked through the glass doors behind Inoichi and a bell jingled overhead. He'd only been to Kadoshi's once three years ago, and it'd been with his students to celebrate him becoming Hokage, he'd then been too busy to come back, though he'd sometimes order in. The shop had been big before, but it now utilized it's space better, gleaming oak tables arranged to spread out around the stained wood floor, a small wooden stage out around the left wall and the counter stood in between two passageways with gleaming glass cases filled with baked goods.

"Welcome to Kadoshi's Teas and Bakery, my name is Saki, you must be the remaining members the guests were talking about, I'll take you to them". Saki led Minato and Inoichi to the passageway on the right and through a hallway were there was only one regular wooden door on the left , three shoji doors on the right and one shoji door at the other end of the hallway that'd lead to the backyard. They stopped in front of one of the shoji doors to the right and Saki opened it to a private room filled with their friends "it's about time you got here! "


A/N: It's been hard trying to get this chapter written out but am glad it's uploaded now. I haven't made much headway with this story, maybe three more chapters to update after this before I hit a wall in the writing process. But in the meantime I have had an idea for a new story and I wanted to run it by you guys. I love writing black women so most of my main female characters here will most likely be black. The idea is of a threesome relationship and it's a Narutoverse! Story so if you review tell me how u feel about it and I'll see about posting the pages I already have written. I'd like to see your guesses as to who the two main male characters will be;-)
