So... I appreciate the reviews you have all given and you will get a little more detail into the nine years before the story, not much just some. And we get to meet Naruto's other students. Plus Sasuke gives Sakura the news in this chapter, but the real confrontation is in the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Naruto sighed as he entered his apartment it was only nine in the morning, he still had to go meet his team and tell them the news. He went over to the stand with the three pictures on it and lightly traced a finger over all three. He sighed again before going to his room, he went over to his night stand first. Putting the two lavender bands on his left forearm, he looked down at them and allowed a small smile to grace his face.

"Here."

"Wait, aren't these your hairbands?"

"They'll bring you luck."

He smiled at the memory before going over to his closet to retrieve his favorite flak jacket. Pulling out the mentioned garment his hand traced the rabbi-er "Bunny" patch sewn onto the left part of the neck guard. Another smile as another memory came to.

"Is that a rabbit?"

She held his flak jacket close to her chest and fixed him with the hardest glare he had ever seen, well, from her.

"It's a bunny."

"O-of course it is! Heh heh, that's what I meant to say."

She closed her eyes and grinned at him.

Naruto let out a small chuckle as he zipped up his jacket. Sighing one more time as he left his apartment, he decided to go to Tsunade first, she would have some kind of game plan for his team. He made it to her office in record time and entered through the window. The way she sat behind her desk made it seem like she was waiting for him, without turning she waved her hand for him to come in front of her. She had several papers on the desk, all of them transfer papers.

"Naruto." She said.

"Baa-chan." He replied.

"I'm sorry about Hisoka." She told him.

"Thank you." He said quietly.

"Normally I don't do this, but you being you and all." She started. "I'm giving you and your other two students the next week off. Train, relax, go break off a piece whatever."

Naruto blushed at the last suggestion.

"I'll see if I can't find another Chunin or Genin to fill the empty slot." She told him.

"Alright, I'll see you later then." He said and left the same way he came in.

Sakura sat in the small office she had aquired in the hospital. After the ordeal with Hisoka and two other critical patients afterwards, she decided to take a break. She looked at the two pictures on her desk and sighed at the one on the left, the photo of Team 7. She smiled softly at the scowl Naruto was giving Sasuke, it was hard to believe that those two ever became friends. Then she looked at the picture to the right, her and Sasuke, she picked it up and brought it closer.

"I remember this, one of the happiest moments of my life." She said to no one.

The picture had Sasuke behind her with his arms around her waist while she had one hand on his shoulder and another over one of his. She was wearing her casual clothes while Sasuke wore a larger version of the clothes he wore as a Genin only with pants instead of shorts. In the picture she was beaming while Sasuke held the small smirk he always used, this was taken one week after they officially started dating.

"Maybe if I try to- No, no that wouldn't work. Perhaps-

"Sakura."

"Oh! Sasuke-kun! I thought you left already."

"Put the book down Sakura."

"What?! But I'm not even close to helping your problem."

"You've been reading too long."

He pulled the book from her hands then helped her up.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Be quiet for once."

He kissed her after that, her first kiss, their first kiss.

Sakura giggled at the memory, looking back at it she would have noticed the subtle gestures Sasuke was giving her before that. She was so deep in her research that she had almost shut everyone and everything out. She let out a chuckle before putting the picture back.

"It's only eleven-thirty, I still have ten hours..." She sighed and rubbed a hand across her forehead. "... Let it be over..."

Naruto looked up as the small patch of land that he designated as the team meeting area came into view. He spotted his other two students chatting with eachother, the two Date's, he found it odd when they put family on the same team at first. Of course, his thoughts changed after he put them through the bell test, they worked together perfectly. Hitomi with her water jutsu, Keiko with her fire jutsu, even if they missed they would used the steam as cover. He smirked, remembering the first time he almost felt the sting of their attacks.

"Huh? Leading me into a tight area, not bad you two."

"Don't get too comfortable Naruto-sensei!"

"Yeah! Ready Keiko?!"

"Ready!"

The two girls threw more shuriken and kunai at him, he let out a bark of laughter as he jumped back. When he looked back they were gone, to his left Keiko went through a series of handsigns, to his right Hitomi did the same.

'A double jutsu huh? Not bad for a couple of Genin.'

Naruto's smirk fell when Keiko stopped on the tiger seal and Hitomi stopped on the bird seal. His eyes widened as Keiko spit a fireball at him and Hitomi shot a water bullet at him. He was impressed that two Genin had mastered some pretty powerful elemental jutsu. He jumped out of the way as the two techniques clashed causing steam to coat the area. Suddenly two figures came rushing out of the steam with Tanto's drawn, he quickly got over his initial shock and grabbed the two girls by their wrists and threw them away. The scene that followed was comical.

"Wha...? Hitomi! Get your boobs outta my face!"

"Get your face outta my boobs!"

The sisters wrestled for a bit before untangling themselves.

Those two girls, sometimes it was hard to believe they were sisters. They were so different but so much alike, Keiko being plain in the way she dressed, Hitomi being flamboyant with her outfits. Hitomi bubbly and constantly smiling while Keiko was calm most of the time and didn't smile all that much, when compared to her sister anyway. The sisters stopped their conversation as they noticed Naruto coming their way.

"Naruto-sensei!" They both shouted to him.

"Hey!" He shouted back.

Keiko had changed her outfit again, not by much though. Her black hair had a choppy look up front with her bangs framing her face while some fell in the middle covering the leaf symbol on her headband. Two more long locks of her hair fell down the length of her torso stopping just below her waist while the rest was gathered into a choppy ponytail that traveled down to the back of her knees. She had on a crimson sweater that hung loose on her body trying to hide her lack of breasts, of course that plan went out the door as she wore her Chunin vest zipped all the way up, the sleeves covered her hands too. Her black pants stopped at her ankles and bunched up as they met the black ninja sandals she wore. She had shuriken holsters on both of her thighs and kunai pouch on the back of her waist, while her tanto was strapped to her lower back with the hilt closer to her right hand. She ran up and stopped just before him.

"Well hey there, Pyro-chan." Naruto smirked at her and ruffled her hair.

Keiko puffed up her cheeks before turning away from him, he chuckled and removed his hand from her head as they waited for her sister. Hitomi quickly caught up to them and stopped with a jump in front of Naruto causing her sizable bust to jiggle. She smiled up at him with her eyes closed. She had changed her outfit too, she had on a fishnet shirt that stopped at her navel with a blue half jacket over with fur around the hem and hood. The sleeves of the jacket were white and short sleeved, she had on arm sleeves that covered the top of her hand and traveled up to mid-bicep. Her black hair had a glossy shine to it, obviously well taken care of, and was pulled into two messy pig-tails while her bangs covered her right eye. She wore black booty shorts with gray thigh high stockings and black ninja sandals. Much like her sister she had shuriken holsters on both thighs and her kunai pouch on the back of her waist, her tanto was strapped to her lower back but with the hilt closer to her left hand.

"Well if it isn't Busty-chan too." Naruto smirked at her.

Hitomi blushed and covered herself. Keiko laughed before Hitomi muttered something along the lines of "At least I have breasts.". Now both sisters were covering themselves.

"Ahem." Naruto cleared his throat.

Both girls instantly looked at him with their teal eyes shining up at him. Great, now he felt bad having to break the news to these two, why oh why did they both have to have a crush on Hisoka?

"I have some news girls." He started.

"Is it a new mission?!" Hitomi asked.

"New techniques?!" Keiko asked.

"No... It concerns your teammate." He said.

Both girls instantly quieted down and looked at him.

"Hisoka... He's dead." said Naruto. "I'm sorry."

Keiko and Hitomi didn't say anything for a minute before they both started crying, softly at first then heavily as the information sank in. Keiko was the first to bury her head into Naruto's midsection followed closely by Hitomi. He put his hands on their backs and rubbed soothing circles.

"Relax you two." He tried.

Both girls gave two more shudders and sobs before backing away from Naruto, they wiped their eyes before looking up at him.

"I know that this is hard. Hisoka was special to us all, but we have to move on." He said. "Baa-chan gave us the week off to relax, or train or... Nevermind. She's going to try and find another ninja to fill the empty position. So until then go get some rest you two, if you want some training come find me and I'll gladly help."

The two girls nodded before walking away, most likely to their home. Now he felt bad, he had never seen such looks in their eyes. He sighed before turning back to his own home.

The next two days flew by for Sakura, she had tried to find Naruto to talk to him but he seemed to vanish. She didn't mind, he was probably on a mission or something, she could always try and talk to him later. She hummed a small tune as she walked into the house she shared with Sasuke. She was in a good mood today, a small number of patients all with minor wounds and she got off early. She decided to give Sasuke a surprise by coming home early.

"Alright, that's everything Sasuke-kun. Oh I'm so excited!" A woman squealed.

'The hell was that?' Sakura wondered.

Sakura set her bag down and walked towards the room where the voice came from. There she saw Sasuke standing in the doorway with a pale dark haired woman in the room.

"Sasuke-kun?" She asked.

Sasuke jumped as he turned around.

"S-Sakura?! What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I got off early, who is that?" She asked again.

Sasuke looked back at the woman before taking a deep breath and looking at Sakura again.

"Sakura, this is Kaede. She's, she is." He gulped. "She is the mother of my child and soon to be wife."

Like I said the real confrontation you know Sakura pissed the fuck off. Will be in the next chapter
