Epilogue

It was a warm sunny day in Konoha also known as the village hidden in the leaves. Everyone was busy going about their usual day. Sakura ran as fast as she could to the flower shop owned by the Yamanaka family. It was the first stop upon entering Konoha. The moment she returned Tsunade told her Karin, Ino and Akane had their babies and they were all four months apart she was very excited to see the new additions.

She ran into the flower shop and stopped at the counter taking large breathes in and out. She cleared her throat and looked up only to see Inoichi staring at her oddly. She took a deep breath forced a smile.

"O-O-Ohayo, Inoichi-San."

"Ohayo Sakura-Chan, you're back from your mission already?"

"Yup it was a success."

"Which I'm not surprised, your generation of shonobi sure put us old timers to shame." He laughed. "If you want to see Ino she's upstairs. She'll be happy to see you're back and well."

"Thank you." She bowed before making her way upstairs. She knocked on the door.

"It's open!" She heard her best friend say. Sakura opened the door smiling widely.

"I'm home Ino-pig." She teased as Ino rolled her eyes not looking from her paper.

"Still the same loud mouth billboard brow girl I see." She smirked knowing she hit a nerve. Sakura's eyebrow twitched a bit but she sat across from Ino.

"Whatever, I could go on but I don't wanna hurt the new mother's feelings." Ino looked at her and laughed.

"So you heard?"

"Of course I did, so…boy or girl?"

"Girl."

"Name."

"Inuzuka Kiyomi."

"That's cute, where is she? Does she look like Kiba?" Ino got up and removed her glasses.

"You have no idea." She walked out the kitchen and returned shortly rolling the bassinet into the kitchen. "I had her in here with me earlier but once she dozed off to sleep I rolled her into the living room so I could get work done. I stared at her all day." Sakura stood up and gasped looking at the cute baby. "You're free to hold her but just know she's spoiled."

"I don't care, I love new babies." She placed a receiving blanket on her shoulder before picking her up. "Ino, she's so pretty."

"Thank you." Ino smiled happily.

Sakura stared at the baby she looked exactly like Kiba, she had brown hair and her eyes were browns. However she had a lot of Ino's features. She was going to be beautiful as she got older. Her heart melted when Kiyomi smiled at her.

"Ah so cute, how many months?"

"Four."

"So Karin had her baby early December?" Sakura asked while sitting on the chair she watched at Kiyomi sucked on her tiny fist.

"Yes, she and Sasuke had a son name Shiro he was born December 1st, Shino and Akane had a son named Shinji who just born August 3rd, he's a month now and my daughter was born April 2nd."

"So they're definitely going to be in a team when they get become genin."

"I know, I just feel it."

"What are you working?" Sakura asked Ino. She rolled her eyes placing her glasses back on.

"Kiba's reports." She grunted. "He swore he couldn't do it so I told him I would do it for him if he cooked dinner and cleaned the house for a week."

"And he did it?"

"That's how much he hates writing his reports." They both began laughing.

After spending time with Ino she brought some flowers and gave them to Akane and Shino. She stayed with them for an hour. She told them about her mission and how the children were great learners. She then gave Shinji a quick exam and told the couple he was in perfect condition.

After she left from there she went over to Sasuke and Karin's house, she knew Naruto was there already. As she knocked on the door she heard a loud laughter of a baby. Karin opened the door and smiled.

"I was wondering when you were gonna show up." They gave each other a hug.

"I had to see the other babies since I knew I would be here the longest." She gave Karin a bouquet.

"Thank you Sakura."

"Hey Sakura." Sasuke smiled at her as he was relaxing on the couch.

"Hey Sakura where have you been?" Naruto asked holding up the eight month old infant in the air causing the baby to squeal in laughter.

"Hey guys, I went to see Ino and Shino's babies." She sat down next to Naruto. "I see you got acquainted quickly." She smiled looking at him.

"I sure did, I have to admit even with him having half of Sasuke's genes he's a cute kid." Sasuke glared at him as Karin laughed sitting next to husband.

"How was the mission?"

"The mission was pretty tough but it was worth it. The children were very excited to learn from us." Sakura smiled as Naruto handed her Shiro. He gave her a big toothless grin making gasp. "Kawaii." She hugged him.

"He's friendly isn't he? That's definitely not a Sasuke trait." Naruto smirked as Sakura and Karin laughed. Sasuke rolled his eyes ignoring his idiot friend.

"Anyway, are you guys attending the banquet tonight?" Sasuke asked.

"Yup we'll be there. I wanna see everyone after all it's been a long time." Naruto said making a silly face at Shiro causing him to laugh. Sakura smiled looking at Naruto.

That night everyone from the village gathered to celebrate another year everyone in Konoha were at peace. Loud music was playing, drinks and food were being served.

"I love drinking, drinking is always the best part of the parties." Shikaku said as Choza and Inoichi agreed.

"Tou-Chan don't drink so much." Shikamaru lectured his father from across the table.

"Hey listen here Shika-Shikamaru, I'm an adult if I wanna drink damnmit then I'mma drink!" He told him. Choji laughed and bit into his large sandwich.

"He told you." Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he drummed his fingers against the table.

"Alright don't come complaining to me when Kaa-Chan chews you out." He muttered.

"Hey guys mind if ya teammate sits with ya?" Ino smiled holding her daughter,

"Hey Ino." Choji smiled. Shikamaru lazily placed his hand up saying hi.

"Ah look at my cute granddaughter." Inoicihi swiped the baby from Ino. "Now this is what you call a fine work of art. She's so cute. Guys look at my granddaughter see how perfect she is, you're jealous aren't ya?" He badgered Shikaku and Choza who rolled their eyes. Had to hear this nonstop. Ino shook her head and sat down next to Shikamaru who looked at her.

"Where's Kiba?" He asked taking a sip of his sake.

"He's over there with this team." She answered. "I thought I come and talk to you guys for a bit, as you know Shino and Hinata never been ones with a lot of words. Oh yeah Sai is sitting with Hinata, I heard they were dating but no one knows for sure because they're so quiet." Choji and Shikamaru instantly looked at Ino. "How strange is that? I mean if they're really dating that came out of nowhere." Shikamaru and Choji chuckled.

"I guess you should tell her now Choji." Ino raised her eyebrow.

"Tell me what?"

"Well a few months ago I started dating Karui."

"From the hidden cloud village?" She furrowed her eyebrows as he nodded.

"How the hell that happened?" She moved next to him. "Tell me every detail and leave nothing out."

"Oh boy." He moaned.

"The mission was truly awesome, it was so much fun working with all the little kids. The kids from the Sand Village are very interesting, I can't wait to have my own kids." Naruto excited explained while standing up. Sakura blushed and placed her hand on his back.

"Naruto."

"Still hyperactive as ever." Kakashi chuckled folding his arms.

"I'm already fired up for my next mission." Sakura slid a bowl of Ramen towards and he instantly began eating it. Akane giggled cradling her son.

"Naruto-kun you always been one of a kind." She giggled.

"The thought of him having kids in this village is quite frightening, hopefully they'll take after Sakura." Temari teased as Sakura's blush grew deeper.

"The restart of the Uzumaki Clan huh that's scary." Shizune laughed. A loud crash was heard startling them.

"Lee I told you not to drink!" Tenten yelled at him. Lee then kicked Naruto in the back of the head making him spill his ramen.

"My ramen!" He growled and glared at Lee. "Lee, I'm gonna kill you." He rolled up his sleeve and chased after Lee.

"Naruto!" Sakura's called fell on deaf ears. Tsunade placed her hand on Kakashi's shoulder.

"Hold on to the Hokage positon for a bit more, we have a lot of work to do before we give him the hat."

"I agree." Sakura watched Naruto having fun as Sasuke jumped into the fight. She laughed to herself. Something told her she didn't make the wrong decision looking back at how her and Naruto started off and the growth they did over the years she knew he was her destiny. She honestly couldn't wait to start a family with him because she knew it was something he wanted more than anything and she was glad to be by his side.
