I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

Reunion

Isamu: Wow, it's hot.

Naruto: You've never been to the desert, have you?

Isamu: No, I've never even seen a desert before now.

Sasuke: It doesn't matter anymore because we're here.

The can see the Sand Village in the distance.

Isamu: Thank you.

Upon reaching the village, they notice that it's heavily guarded.

Itachi: Don't be alarmed, it's just a precaution in case Danzo makes his move.

They head for the guards who draw their weapons upon seeing Hinata.

Guard #1: A Hyuuga?

Guard #2: You must be from the Leaf Village, state your business.

Itachi: I wish to speak to the Kazekage, tell him that Itachi Uchiha has arrived with the help I said I would procure.

Guard #1: Wait here.

The guards send someone to contact Gaara, the messenger returns some time later.

Guard #1: Follow me.

The guard leads Naruto and the other to the Kazekage Tower, they enter the Kazekage office where Gaara was waiting.

Naruto: Hey, Gaara. Long time, no see.

Gaara: Nice to see you again, Naruto. I wish we had time to catch up but things are getting hectic. As you can see, my shinobi are on full tilt. We've suspended all mission for the time being and sent messages to those on mission to complete them immediately if they can and hurry back to the village.

Naruto: Why does Danzo have such a hair across his ass for you guys?

Gaara: It's not just us, he's been antagonizing other villages that he deems to be a threat, even if they've been on good terms with the Leaf and Fifth Hokage.

Naruto: He's either crazy or he has a surprise in store. I've met him, so I know he's not crazy.

Gaara: So, what are you thinking?

Itachi: Infiltration and destroy them from the inside.

Naruto: Right.

Gaara: It could work. You're all from the Leaf so it won't raise any suspicion against us or any other village, except for you. Who are you?

Isamu: Who, me? I'm Naruto's cousin, Isamu.

Gaara: Cousin?

He looks at Naruto.

Naruto: Oh, yeah. I found my father's clan in the Village Hidden in Hostility. Don't worry, Danzo doesn't want to tangle with those madmen in that village.

Gaara: And what about you? The last time I even heard you're name was when you almost killed Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke: Let's just say that I've come to my senses.

Gaara: So when do you plan to begin?

Itachi: As soon as we formulate a plan, so we're going to have to speak someone who has some information on the village.

Naruto: Where's Sakura?

Gaara: She's most likely at our new hospital, I'll have someone take you to her.

He calls for one of his shinobi to take them to the hospital. Along the way, they notice how tense everyone in the village is.

Naruto: These guys seem ready for anything.

They finally reach the room in the hospital where Sakura was resting where Naruto gets any idea.

Naruto: Hey, Sasuke.

Sasuke: What?

Naruto: Stay out here.

Everyone except Sasuke enters the room and finds Sakura asleep.

Naruto: Wake up, sleepy head.

Sakura: (waking up) Who is it?

Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki and you'd better believe it.

Sakura: Naruto?

She wakes up fully.

Sakura: It is you!

She hops out of the bed and hugs him.

Naruto: Easy, easy. I'm a married man, now.

She looks him in the eyes and takes a look at Hinata who gives her a telling smile.

Sakura: Congratulations, Hinata, you've got to tell me all about it.

Naruto: You two can dish later, I've got a surprise for you.

Sakura: What?

Naruto: Close your eyes.

Sakura: Why?

Naruto: Just close them.

She obliges Naruto and closes her eyes, she hears the door open and another pair of footsteps.

Sakura: I wonder who that is.

Naruto: Okay, open them.

She opens her eyes and finds Sasuke looking at her.

Sakura: Sasuke?

Sasuke: How are you, Sakura?

She speechless as she just stares at him for a minute, Naruto turns to Hinata, Isamu, and Itachi.

Naruto: This is a tender moment.

Then she surprises everyone and punches him in the stomach, dropping him to the floor.

Naruto: Whoa!

Sakura: That's for knocking me out and leaving me on the park bench, you douche bag.

He struggles to get back to his feet.

Sasuke: Sakura, I…

She cuts him off by hugging him and kissing.

Sakura: It doesn't matter anymore, you're back.

He hugs her back and smiles.

Sasuke: Just don't hit me again, please.

As they stand their in each other's arms, Naruto whispers to Itachi.

Naruto: Uchiha Clan 2.0 just got started.

They break their hug and Sakura notices Isamu.

Sakura: Who's he and why does he look like Naruto?

Isamu: I'm his cousin, Isamu Namikaze. It's nice to meet you.

Sakura: Namikaze?

Naruto: Yeah, I found by father's clan.

Sakura: Wow, sounds like you've been busy.

Itachi: I'll give you time to catch up, we'll formulate a plan this afternoon.

The four of them leave Itachi who seemed to have needed some rest and Isamu who didn't want to face the unusual heat more than he had to, they walked around the Sand Village talking.

Sakura: So, what's marriage like?

Naruto: It's great, man.

Hinata: Yes, we couldn't be happier.

Naruto: Right. Hey, Sasuke, you restarted your clan, yet?

He stares at Sasuke and Sakura for obvious reasons, Sasuke looks a little bashful while Sakura blushes and looks away in embarrassment until Hinata throws up.

Sakura: Are you alright? I didn't want to say anything earlier but you looked kind of nauseous.

Hinata: It's fine.

Naruto: No, it's not. She's been getting sick every morning for the past few days.

A red flag goes off in Sakura's mind.

Sakura: Hinata, let me see your stomach.

They duck off between some buildings, Naruto and Sasuke block them from view to give them some privacy as Sakura checks Hinata out. When finished, they return with Sakura smirking at Naruto and Hinata glowing it seems.

Naruto: What?

Hinata: I'm pregnant.

Naruto: What?!

Sakura: I can't be sure until I get back her back to the hospital and check on her properly but, yeah.

Sasuke: Wait, I can see.

He activates his sharingan and can see faint traces of a different chakra from her own forming in Hinata's stomach.

Sasuke: She's pregnant.

Hinata runs up and hugs Naruto.

Hinata: I'm so happy, Naruto.

Naruto: Me, too.

When they break the hug, Naruto looks at Sasuke and Sakura.

Naruto: FACE! Now you two have really got to get movin'.
