The next few days went by swiftly. Sasuke and Sakura were spending more time with Sarada, as well as working on their jobs. Sasuke was working more and more with Sarada on her training and helping her master the clan's Fireball jutsu and working on more shuriken training. Sarada was improving fast. Soon, he was going to pass down the Chidori to her. He knew that she could handle it. There was no rush to master it though, so he was going to take it slow with this technique. Sakura also worked on her hand-to-hand training more. Together they showed Sarada a few things they came up with while they traveled together. Every once in a while, they would train and spar against each other on their travels, to make sure they were staying in top condition.

Sakura had been to the hospital once to check up on everything. So far, so good. There were no cases of the virus in the hospital yet. They were getting more information from other hospitals on what to look for if it did come into the hospital and procedures to take. The entire team was ready in case there was an outbreak of the virus in the leaf. Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura had a plan ready to enact at a moments notice.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was checking in with Sai and Kiba on a daily basis. So far, there was nothing going on outside of the village. Sai kept the Anbu Black Ops on rotating shifts and made sure that there was a sensory ninja working at all times. Sasuke had given Sai all the information he had on the Otsutsuki clan and what to look out for. That was Sasuke's biggest worry while he was home. Them coming and attacking the village, coming after him and Naruto, possibly Sarada for her Sharingan or Boruto since he had been given the Karma mark and was cursed with possibly becoming a vessel for an Otsutsuki clan member.

Naruto was keeping in daily contact with everyone on his Task Force while spending time at home with Boruto, Himawari and Hinata. Naruto and Boruto spent time everyday training in the yard. They worked on his Rasengan so the next time Sasuke saw it, he would be impressed with Boruto's growth. It would take a long time to master the Rasegan though. After training everyday they would sit down and play some of Boruto's video games. Himawari spent time playing with her father. She wanted nothing more than to have a little bit of his time. It made her very happy. In a few short days, the Uzumaki household was filled with drawings filled with love done by Himawari. Each one had all four members of the family in them. Spending time together, smiling, laughing and being a real family. Hinata loved seeing the smiles on her family's face as they spent time together during this stay-at-home order. She defiantly didn't mind having Naruto home more either.

Today, on the other hand was a different kind of day. They had their first virtual meeting with the task force. Sakura had all of her notes on the hospital ready to go. Everything was organized and she knew what was the most important. She also had updates from the other Kage's documents. She took a few days to go through all of them so Sasuke didn't think she was overworking herself again. He always worried about her overworking herself, but he was on to talk.

Sasuke wasn't sure what to talk about since nothing was going on. He sat in on the five kage submit meetings when he was able to make it to them. Naruto considered him his Shadow Kage and wanted Sasuke in on as much as possible. Specially since his missions were so important to not only Konoha, but all of the ninja nations. Whenever Sasuke had a major update on the Otsutsuki, Naruto would pass it along to the rest of the Kage.

Sakura sat up her computer on the dining room table and laid out her documents. She was ready and excited to be part of the task force.

"Sasuke!" She called with love in her voice. "It's almost time for the meeting!" Sasuke walked into the dining room to meet her. He noticed how excited she was and before the cameras came on for the meeting Sasuke gave Sakura a quick peck on the lips. She smiled.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

"I guess. I'm not sure what to say. Nothing's happening so far." Sasuke said.

"In this instance, that's a good thing." Sakura responded as she sat down and logged on to the video chat. Sasuke sat down next to her, putting his arm around her and resting his hand on her hip, out of sight of the camera.

"Is that Naruto?" Sasuke asked as the chat appeared. Naruto was the first one logged on. His face took up the entire screen.

"Sasuke! Sakura!" He yelled.

"Naruto, back up. You're too close to the screen." Sakura said.

"And you don't have to yell." Sasuke said annoyed.

"How's it going being home, Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"It's good to be home." he simply responded rubbing Sakura's hip.

"Are you sick of Sasuke yet, Sakura?" Naruto joked.

"I'll never be sick of Sasuke." Sakura said smiling as she turned to look at her husband. "We've actually been having a lot of family time with Sarada."

"She's almost mastered the Fireball jutsu." Sasuke said.

"You should see Boruto. We've been working on his Vanishing Rasegan. He wants to make you proud as your student. I've already told him I'm proud of him, but that doesn't seem to mean much." Naruto said awkwardly.

"Just keep spending this extra time with him. It'll mean more soon." Sakura said. "What about Himawari?" Naruto smiled wide into the camera.

"My office is full of her drawings." Naruto held up one she drew of Naruto and Boruto training in the yard.

"That's so sweet." Sakura smiled.

"Our house is filling up with art work. She loves having me home everyday. She wanted to be in on this call so she could say hi to everyone. I told her, maybe some other time." Naruto laughed.

"Sorry, guys. My Shogi match with Shikadai ran long. He might actually beat me one day." Shikamaru said as he joined in.

"I doubt that." Naruto said.

"Hey, everyone!" Kiba said signing on.

"Looks like I'm last." Sai said as he signed on.

"Great. Everyone is here." Naruto said. "Thanks for coming... or logging on... whatever. How's everyone's time off going? Sasuke and Sakura already told me they're enjoying this extra time together and with their daughter."

"I bet you're enjoying it, huh Sakura?" Kiba said giving the camera a knowing glance. Sakura looked away from the camera embarrassed. Sasuke gently rubbed her hip as he watched her embarrassment. Sasuke didn't know what to say, so he gave Kiba a dirty look in the camera and pulled her closer to him.

"Kiba. Not cool. Sorry, Sakura. It won't happen again." Shikamaru said. "I've been spending more time with Shikadai playing Shogi. He's getting better. He's not on my level yet, but he's getting there. So, what's this about Sarada?"

"She's close to mastering the Fireball jutsu." Sasuke said still trying to calm Sakura. He reached over to the computer and turned off the camera and microphone so he could talk to Sakura in private while the rest of them talked about their families. "Sakura, are you okay?"

"Sasuke, I can't believe Kiba said that. It's one thing for Naruto to joke about it. But Kiba..."

"I'm sorry, Sakura. I didn't know what to say when that happened. I should have. I'm so sorry. Sakura..." he whispered as he hugged her.

"I'm going to kill Kiba." Sasuke thought as he kissed her forehead.

Once Sasuke got Sakura calmed down they turned their camera and microphone back on and rejoined the group.

"Welcome back." Naruto said. "Sakura are you okay?"

"I'm fine. But if anyone says anything like that again, once this quarantine is over I will track you down." She said remembering the comment which brought her to anger.

"Okay, okay. Sorry, Sakura!" Kiba said scared.

"Anyway, now it's time to get down to business." Naruto said. "We'll start with updates from the Anbu Black Ops."

"Thanks Naruto." Sai said. "I have Anbu Black Ops patrolling outside the of the village around the clock. Every shift has at least one sensory user per area. We're social distancing while we patrol. And so far, no one has reported anything unusual to me. I keep in contact with Naruto and Sasuke everyday. So, for now that's all I have to report."

"Thanks, Sai. Kiba, you're up." Naruto said.

"I have patrols inside the village around the clock as well. So far, so good. Everything that is supposed to be closed is closed. We're seeing very little traffic inside the village. Everyone is wearing masks and social distancing as well. It seems like everyone is following the rules and my police force doesn't have much to do besides our normal jobs."

"Thanks, Kiba. Sasuke."

"Uhh... nothing to report... move on to Sakura." Sasuke said awkwardly.

"Okay... Sakura" Shikamaru said.

"Thanks." Sakura grabbed her papers and started going over all of the data she got from the hospitals in the ninja nations. As she finished going over one section, Sasuke would hand her what she needed next. He had been listening to everything Sakura said when she talked about all of the medical things and knew what was coming next in her information. While he was home, he was determined to show Sakura he could be a good husband. He knew she wasn't doubting him, but he was doubting himself as a husband and father. It had been a while since he started coming home to his family, Sakura always told him he was doing a great job as a husband and father, but no matter what, because he missed so many years of his daughter's life and moments with his wife.

"So, basically, the hospital is working with the rest of the nations. We have plans in place and as more cases arise around the world the teams of medical professionals are working together to spread the information as quick as we can. For now our hospital is seeing no cases of the virus and that's probably all due to Naruto closing down the village and quarantining everyone." Sakura said.

"Thanks, Sakura. Now Shikamaru and I have been in daily virtual meetings with other Kage where I heard some of what Sakura said. Not that I understood much of it when I heard it in those meetings and I certainly don't understand it now that Sakura has gone into full detail." Naruto said.

"It's okay, Sakura. I understood everything and took notes. Go on Naruto." Shikamaru said.

"Anyway, it sounds like our plans are working smoothly so far. Everyone is doing a great job. So just keep doing what you're doing and if anything happens you know me and Shikamaru's phone are on 24/7. Everyone should keep their cell phones charged and on at all times. And make sure that you're spending time with your family. We've been given more time to do so. Including me, it's not always meetings for me. My office is plastered with my daughter's drawings." Naruto grabbed the same drawing he showed Sasuke and Sakura earlier and held it up. "Himawari did a bunch of these and I've been training Boruto a lot too. Oh, Sasuke. There is something I want you to do."

"What's that?" He asked.

"I want your opinion on how the Anbu are stationed and working." Naruto said.

"Is Sai okay with this?" He asked.

"We're all a team, Sasuke. Any help is welcomed." Sai said with a smile on his face. "Besides, what we're doing is under your jurisdiction anyway."

"Alright, when?" Sasuke asked.

"Meet me at the gates after the meeting and we'll get started." Sai said.

"Sounds good." Sasuke replied.

"Just wear your masks, you two." Sakura said with a stern voice. Sasuke turned his eyes to Sakura and smiled.

"Yes ma'am. Ino doesn't let me leave the house without one." Sai said.

"Neither does Sakura." Sasuke said nudging and lightly teasing his wife to make her smile. Which worked as she was able to crack a small smile.

"Alright, good. Then we'll end this here so you guys can get on that." Naruto said.

"Good meeting. Except that one part." Shikamaru said. "Call if you need anything." The video chat was closed.

Sakura closed the computer and sighed. Sasuke rubbed her back.

"Sakura... are you alright?" he asked worried.

"I'm fine, Sasuke." She said.

"No. You're not. I know you too well for that. That comment from Kiba is still bugging you." He said. "Just ignore him. It's not like he's married anyway. He wasn't wrong after all. I am enjoying being home with you and our daughter. Waking up every morning to your face and spending extra time with you is something I miss when I'm away. Sakura, just remember, I love you more than any and I always have." Sakura smiled hearing the thoughtful words from her husband. She threw herself into Sasuke's chest and hugged him tight.

"I love you so much, Sasuke." Sasuke held her close with his arm on her back. He had a warm smile on his face. A smile that he only ever showed to Sakura and Sarada. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear. "I'm okay now."

"Alright. I have to meet Sai, but I'll be home later." He said standing up. Sakura stood with him.

"Be safe and take your mask." She said.

Sakura reached behind her and grabbing a mask off the stack of masks that she made. Sasuke put out his hand and Sakura placed the mask in his hand. He closed his hand around hers and pulled her into him and gave her a passionate kiss. One that made her forget all of her troubles for a moment and put her back in that happy place she had been in since she found out Sasuke didn't have the virus.

"I'll see you soon." Sasuke said and raised his hand and poked Sakura's forehead with two fingers and left to meet Sai. Moments later he showed up and met Sai. As he walked up he slipped on his black mask with the Uchiha crest on it.

"Sasuke." Sai said as he put his white mask with the Yamanaka clan symbol on it. "I'm glad you came."

"Sorry I'm late." Sasuke said.

"Sakura still upset about that comment?" Sai asked.

"She's okay now." Sasuke said. "When she joined me on my atonement, I learned quickly how to calm her nerves."

"That's something I could never figure out about her when I was teamed with her and Naruto." Sai admitted.

"The way I do it, it's something only I can do. Sakura has always given me all her love. Somehow I know what to do. She makes my body move on it's own." Sasuke said looking down at his hand.

"It's called love, Sasuke." Sai said laughing. "Let's go check out the Anbu."

"You're sure you're okay with this?" He asked.

"Of course!" Sai and Sasuke walked out of the village visited all of the Anbu patrol areas, Sai set up around the perimeter of the village. "I used some strategies from the Foundation in putting together the patrol. One of the only good things that came from the Foundation."

"It looks like you're doing everything right. I'll send my report to Naruto in the morning. Keep me posted if anything happens." Sasuke said.

"Thanks, Sasuke and I'm sorry." Sai said.

"For what?" Sasuke asked.

"The things I said about you when I first joined Squad 7. I was wrong. Sakura let me know I was wrong... quickly."

"She hit you." Sasuke said knowingly.

"Yes." Sai said remembering the strong unexpected punch from the young kunoichi.

"I guess I should apologize for that. It was my fault. Sakura has always been that way. I saw her hit Naruto a few times. I always thought it was a kind of funny." Sasuke said thinking back on his and Sakura's past.

"Did she ever hit you?" Sai asked.

"Never. Although, there were times that she should have." He responded.

"Be grateful that she hasn't. Her punches hurt." Sai said. Sasuke smiled. "She's stronger than any villain or ninja out there."

"That's my Sakura for you. She always had that strength deep down inside of her. She just needed someone to help bring it out of her." Sasuke started walking back into the village.

As he walked back into the village he was hounded by a camera crew from the local village news station. As they saw him they ran up to him pointing the a camera and microphone in his face.

"Sasuke Uchiha, is there any truth to the rumor that there is a secret Task Force run by the Hokage?" A female reporter asked him.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that. If you have questions about that they should be sent to Naruto or Shikamaru." Sasuke tried to turn and walk away when he was asked another question.

"You're married to the doctor Haruno at the hospital. Has she given any inclination to what the hospital is doing?" the reporter asked. Sasuke turned back around.

"My wife prefers to go by Doctor Sakura Uchiha. She has told me the hospital has plans, again if you have any questions about them they should directed to Doctor Sakura Uchiha or someone else at the hospital. That's all you're getting out of me. If you are going to run anything about my wife, make sure you use her proper name. Doctor Sakura Uchiha." Sasuke said and turned away, not going to answer any more questions from people who couldn't even credit Sakura with the right last name.

Later that evening, Sarada was watching the news, while Sakura was making dinner and Sasuke was writing up his report on the Anbu Black Ops positions on his computer. As Sarada and Sasuke sat on the couch the news started a new story.

"Konoha may have a secret Task Force consisting of several prominent members of the village. We caught up with Sasuke Uchiha to get a comment about it. Uchiha refused to comment. When asked about his wife's position at the local hospital here is what he had to say:"

"Dad, you're on the news!" Sarada said and paused it so Sakura could come watch the segment. When she was in viewing range she continued playing the segment.

"My wife prefers to go by Doctor Sakura Uchiha. She has told me the hospital has plans, again if you have any questions about them they should directed to Doctor Sakura Uchiha or someone else at the hospital. That's all you're getting out of me." Sasuke groaned watching the segment.

"The media is... annoying..."

"Ha ha ha. Sasuke is on the news." Naruto laughed.

"There's a reason I didn't tell anyone about the Task Force though. I'll have Shikamaru send a statement in the morning. But with the news I got a while ago... this isn't going to be fun anymore." He thought as he watched the news in his office before dinner.
