- Naruto… Naruto… NARUTO! – A blonde man was getting out of his thoughts as a loud voice made him get back to reality.

The blonde man was dressed in a black suit before he looked at the source of the voice that woke him up.

- Oh, Shizune – Said the blonde man looking at a petite short raven haired woman that was dressed in a simple red dress.

- Get ready, she's about to enter! – Naruto nodded after he remembered what he was doing here.

There was a person behind a desk, looking at him expectantly it was the old woman from the council, Koharu and there were some people dressed properly for a special day, Naruto sighed as he remembered the situation that had lead him to this.

Naruto smiled as he watched Tsunade eating, Shizune was doing the same thing that he was doing, they were amazed looking at the busty woman and the way she was eating, it seemed like pregnancy was doing wonders on her on this department, still, Naruto was happy to see her acting like that, free without worries, the only thing she had to worry now is her pregnancy and he was making sure that she didn't do anything stupid.

That's why, tonight they were celebrating her, she had retired from being the hokage, that's why there were celebrating right now, this was her retirement party and everyone was celebrating, Tsunade lost her focus on the food when someone called her from the microphone.

- Oh right… I have to say something – She got on her feet with the help of Naruto and he remained on his place as the woman moved to the center of the room.

Tsunade looked at everyone, they were smiling at the way their late hokage was acting, she wasn't being her usual self and the most amazing thing of is that it wasn't due to the alcohol, she was just letting herself free from all the formalities.

- Okay everyone… Thank you for being here with us to celebrate my retirement, and I mean you really have to celebrate as I think I'm not the best hokage you could ever had – She laughed and many did the same – Okay, speaking in a more serious way, I want to say thank you to all of you that supported me through bad, normal and great times – She smiled, she was getting emotional – I will never forget your support, and even if sometimes I said that I hate the job and wished that I should do other things, I don't regret taking the leadership of this great village – Everyone smiled – But there's one person that I need to thank personally, well, two actually but the first one I already thanked her for helping me through all this time, I'm talking about Shizune of course, please I want you to clap for Shizune – Tsunade encouraged the crowd.

Everyone cheered for Shizune and the raven haired woman got on her feet and greeted everyone, she felt so embarrassed but still, she greeted the people that were accompanying them tonight.

- But there's one person that I should thank the most… This person made me believe years ago that there was still hope, that there were reasons to keep on fighting, he made me change the way I was feeling in more than one case – She smiled – Of course I'm talking about my favorite man in this world… Naruto Uzumaki, please come here dear – She told him.

Naruto was a little surprised to hear that but he did what she asked him to do after Shizune was picking him on the elbows, he walked towards the older woman and she smiled at him.

- Naruto… My love, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have come to this village, so everyone that liked me as a hokage has to thank you for that – Many people cheered for the younger man while he was caressing the back of his head a little embarrassed – You were always there for me, you encouraged me and motivated me to be better, and now we're sharing a greater responsibility and I hope that now, we walk towards that path in a better way – Naruto was surprised to hear her talking like that.

But he got more surprised when the older woman got a little box from her breasts and when she opened she revealed a gold ring with a diamond in the center, everyone on the room were shocked to see this display of emotions.

- Naruto… As you can see I can't kneel due to my current physical state so I'm going to ask directly… Would you marry me? – He didn't expect to hear that.

The people on the room included Shizune gasped, the raven haired woman didn't knew about Tsunade's plan to propose to Naruto, she looked at them in a excited way, she was very eager to know what was about to happen.

- Yes… Yes, I want to marry you! – Naruto smiled at her before he got as close as he could to kiss her.

Everyone on the room cheered for the couple while they were kissing, Tsunade was letting out some tears while Naruto was kissing her.

Yes a wedding is always a special occasion or at least that's what Naruto thought before Tsunade started to rush him, she already wanted to marry him one week after she proposed.

- But why? Don't you want a big celebration? – Asked the blonde confused.

- There's something you need to know Naruto… I'm a little worried that our child will come to this world without us being married – She finally confessed.

Naruto nodded after he heard that, there wasn't any taboo against children born out of marriage but still, he knew that Tsunade found this important as she was raised with those sort of values and he respected that.

- Okay, but how are we going to do that? We have to organize everything quickly! – Naruto was getting a little worried about that situation.

- Don't worry I have everything planned… We'll have a simple arrangement, just signing some papers will make us a married couple – Tsunade smiled.

- And the reception? – He was confused but still nodded at her words.

- Don't worry, we'll just have a simple party after the ceremony – She clarified with a smile on her face.

Naruto was a little skeptical about this, but still, seeing the way she was smiling and her motivation, made him hug her and accept her choice, it was her wedding after all, and that's one of the most special occasion for a woman and if she decided it to be like that, then, he wasn't going to complain.

Naruto's thoughts were interrupted when heard the sound of clapping, the people in the room were watching the happy bride dressed in white heels and a white simple dress, as this was a formal ceremony and not a huge one, she wasn't wearing a veil, Naruto smiled as he saw the way she looked, her huge belly catching everyone's attention.

He smiled at her when she finally got closer to him.

- Thank you for coming, today we're going to celebrate a special day, we're going to celebrate the special union between two of the most respected shinobi of our village, Tsunade Senju and Naruto Uzumaki – Everyone clapped after they heard Koharu say their names – According to Konoha's law I need to ask this…. Is there someone that rejects this union? – Asked the old woman.

All the people stayed in complete silence no soul wanted to say anything.

- Okay then, let's continue with this ceremony, Senju Tsunade, do you accept to marry Uzumaki Naruto? – Asked the old woman with a slight smile.

- Yes, I accept! – Tsunade smiled at the younger blonde who just got a ring out of a little box before he put it on Tsunade's finger.

- Uzumaki Naruto, do you accept to marry Senju Tsunade? – The younger man nodded with a smile and a finger was placed on his finger by Tsunade – Then, as there are no objections, please sign this papers – Said the old woman and the couple did as they were told – Congratulations, by Konoha's law you're officially married… May this be a good and successful marriage… You can kiss the bride now! – Koharu looked at Naruto and he nodded.

With a huge grin on his face, Naruto claimed Tsunade's lips softly while the rest of the room cheered for them, Naruto took Tsunade hand by hand and they moved towards a special place to celebrate, the rest of the guests walked behind them.

The place was close to the hokage's office, there was an open bar and many food to choose, also there was a huge chocolate cake, Tsunade's favorite, she insisted to have that as she was craving chocolate cake, Naruto smiled as he remembered the moment were they discussed the cake thankfully after a long discussion they ended up agreeing on that chocolate cake, as he thought about his wife, he looked for her in the room she was talking with Shizune and many of her friends.

- You lucky bitch – Said a brown haired woman with red paint on her face, she was wearing a tight black dress with black high heels as she approached Tsunade.

- Oh, Tsume… I'm glad you came! – Smiled the blonde at the brown haired woman.

- How could I not? It's your wedding, but to be honest I expected something pinker and fancy you know? Something worth of an ex hokage – Said the brown haired woman and Tsunade giggled as she heard her friend.

- I wish I could make happy my friend but as you can see… I have a big round problem that doesn't let me act as I wish – Tsunade pointed her huge belly and the brown haired woman laughed.

- You're right… But come you should look happier, you caught the most attractive man in the shinobi world, you must feel proud about you… You didn't even needed money to keep him by your side! – Tsunade rolled her eyes at her friend's comment.

Her friends were always joking about the way their relationship worked, it was as if Tsunade was Naruto's sugar mommy.

- Yes… I hate to admit it, but this time you're right… I hope nothing weird happens as it's not usual for you to be right! – Tsunade mocked her friend.

- Meany – Pouted Tsume before pinching Tsunade's elbow – Now I pity Naruto for marrying you… He'll have to deal with your attitude! – Laughed Tsunade at her friend's comment.

- Don't worry, he likes the way I act – Tsunade assured her friend.

- Yeah right – Tsume thought that Tsunade was lying but the smirk didn't disappear from the blonde's face – You lucky bitch… You know what, he's a keeper, so try to make him happy… If you don't do it, I'm sure that any woman would take him away from you – Tsume assured her.

Tsunade just laughed before she got closer to Shizune and started to touch her butt, the raven haired woman was surprised of this display of affection in front of Tsunade's friends, still, they didn't seem to realize what was happening.

- You're right… But don't worry I know that I don't have to worry about the hypothetic possibility that he would cheat on me… He wouldn't need it anyway – Tsunade smiled at the her friend.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Naruto had just drank all the contents on a glass with ice cubes before he got approached by his best friend.

- Hey Naruto – Said Sasuke with a big grin as he approached the blonde man.

- Oh, hey Sasuke… What's going on? – Asked Naruto as he was watching his wife from afar.

- You don't seem too excited about this, come on man… This is your wedding you must celebrate like you hadn't before – Sasuke encouraged the blonde but he seemed a little off – Come on, you're Jiraiya's apprentice, how do you think he would react if he saw you acting like this after your married that beautiful woman? – Sasuke asked and Naruto sighed.

- I guess, he'll hate me for marrying the woman that he loved more than anyone – Naruto was a little negative tonight.

- Did something happen? You're acting kind of weird today – Asked the raven haired man with a more serious expression as he looked at Naruto.

- There's no point in hiding it, you need to know the way I feel right now – Naruto sighed – I feel weird, I think this wedding was too rushed – Sasuke nodded.

- But isn't that the way it works for us? – Sasuke's question confused Naruto – I mean, in our career it seems like death is always chasing us, dying young is a possibility… We're not like the civilians that can wait until they meet the love of their lives to get married – Sasuke smiled at him.

- But, I am with the love of my life – Naruto looked at Tsunade.

- Then enjoy your time with her, you're married, you both belong to each other now, forget about anything else right now and enjoy the reception as most as you can – Naruto was surprised to hear Sasuke talking like that.

- You're right… I'll see you in a few minutes – Naruto walked towards the guy that was in charge of the music so he could put something more slow and relaxing.

Naruto then, walked towards Tsunade and she smiled when she saw him approach her.

- Hey baby – She said with a big grin on her face.

- Hey Tsunade-chan… Would like to dance with me? – Naruto took her hand before she answered but seconds later she nodded.

They were dancing in a slow pace, looking at each other's eyes in a loving way, this wasn't the way Naruto was expecting to get married, but he was marrying the woman of his dreams, his teenage crush and the one that haunted many of his dreams when he was younger, he realized at this moment, that he was a lucky man for marrying this amazing woman and he realized that the ceremonies didn't matter as long as you're with your special person.

Two months later…

After they got married, Naruto could swear that time was moving in a fast pace, during these two months, he learned a lot of things, like the things that many people warned him before about marriage were true, but still, no one prepared him enough to deal with his pregnant wife.

Tsunade got more demanding as she wanted specific things, she was having weird requests when she was craving something, seafood with ice cream at three in the morning, but still, he couldn't disappoint her and always gave her what she needed.

Anyway, he's still doing the things that he used to do before they got married, he still cleaned the house, he was right now cleaning the room that the three of them shared.

Naruto was moving some heavy boxes, but when he moved the last one, the downside broke due to the weight it was carrying, there were many folders, but one of them caught his attention as it was colored in black, the other ones were beige, he instinctively took the black folder and placed and he threw it on the bed so he would place it on the top of the box, but when he threw it on the bed, the folder opened, something caught his attention, his name was on it.

The blonde man read the whole document with the help of a clone before his eyes got bigger.

Meanwhile Tsunade was getting back from buying some stuff, Shizune was walking behind her, they announced their return and both of them were surprised to see Naruto coming out of their room he had a serious expression, the bag that Tsunade was carrying fell on the floor as she realized that Naruto was carrying a black folder.

- Naruto—She tried to explain.

- Tsunade… What's the meaning of this? Why are leaving everything you own to me and why does this document speak about your death getting closer!? – Naruto asked trying to suppress his sadness.

Shizune was surprised to hear that, and Tsunade was too shocked to say anything.

- W-wait… Naruto I—Tsunade mumbled, she really didn't know what to say, but suddenly, something unexpected happened to her.

Tsunade's water broke.
