One thing that he didn't wanted to there it was with them, not that Neji minded to be with Shikamaru or Naruto, but Sasuke, it might been just a little out of hell mode. Even if they all waited outside of the nursing room. They all had to wait outside for Naruto to come out of the roo, if he could ever make it out, unless Sakura had told them so, but hadn't came out of the room yet. And there he was waiting in the hallway with a parrot onto his shoulder, Shikamaru onto his side trying not roll up his eyes with annonyance, and the ex-revenger before his eyes who stood up next to the door, with his eyes shut closed. A little too much uncomfortable with that weird silence throughtout the air.

A little too much to handle.

And Toji agreed with him with a little scratch onto his furry green neck. He couldn't bare to be at the same place or the same time. But, however who would be able to do it for his cousin's husband. Much to his displeasure. He felt Toji's nice comfort to his cheek. Seriously, Toji?

That parrot had been a welcoming present for Neji when he finally decided to move out of the Hyuuga household. And somehow had wished he hadn't developped an admirance for birds. Hadn't been for the curse mark justu, he wouldn't have taken any care until now. Not only he was free from the curse, but had gotten himself stuck with a living and speaking out parrot, here and whom followed him everywhere he goes, and even into the bathroom! Which it often drove him nuts, sometimes.

Not so much for Tenten, whom had taken a sudden attirance for the parrot after she moved with him, when he should have the one. However, Toji was still and acting up like a little boy despite the fact he was growning up. Innocent, unless it was for screaming all night, which kept him awake at the first nights, when the green parrot refused to sleep alone at the living room and at the dark. But, anyways, Neji had slowly became friends with the parrot who seemed to take care of the horizons he couldn't catch up to see and despite his byakygan was slowly recovering on its own, there were a few angles he wasn't able to see as easier as it had been before. After all, it almost did sealed with the curse mark after he almost died at war.

And he felt so different now. Yup, Tenten was right this morning. But the sex had been great, this was a thing that they've both agreed onto that. Well, they've declared their feelings towards each other at first even at the most unexpected and later came the sex. Easy with it, Hyuuga. You still need to buy condoms, man. Or maybe taking things easily, like Sakura had said after she examined him back at the hospital's office. Even after five years, he was recovering nicely and would probably regain his total full strength, if he didn't forced himself. Like he had said his back almost killed him, the night before and like Tenten had said, he's been pushing up far too much..

Again.

"Neji, sad?" Toji's words had awakened him from these long lost memories. He opened up his eyes and stared at him up from the corner.

"Nope. I'm not. Just thinking.." He comforted the bird. But there was a lot to deal with.

"Huh, that parrot follows you anywhere you go, right?" The lazy and silent ninja smirked back to his side when the parrot searched for comfort onto Neji's neck. Which he almost found irresistible here.

"Even in the bathroom, sometimes.." He remarked without any joke, even if it sounded like one. But not always, at least. Once, the parrot flew out into the bathroom when the man was relieving his bladder, once which it almost scarred him off and out of nowhere. When he did heard Toji squawking out loud as he flew in and landed onto the sink as he stared his master, innocetelly. And to which it was doing nothing to Neji's surprising face.Stupid bird!

However, some naivety had somehow calmed the young man's mind, and especially after the war that had taken place five years ago. An innocent matter that Neji had almost didn't believe could still happen even. But there he was today with this parrot, here and with him. Still free without the curse mark and yet stuck with a parrot onto his shoulder.

"It's good to have some company, around." Neji had answered back as he brought up his finger to scratch up Toji's cheek as the parrot closed up his eyes, with felt the bird happy here as he had gotten to be now. A free man and to be able to chose his way of living and with the person he wants to be now.

"No kidding?" Shikamaru had replied back as he held up a snicker towards the ex-branch member of the Hyuuga clan here. Which Neji only shrugged it off.

"Well, as long he doesn't pee on you, although.."

"I don't think it ever happened. Maybe Akamaru had done once after my battle with Hinata, at the Chunnin exams. Even Shino did." Neji had followed up back when it caught Sasuke's attention as if he had missed something important.

"What battle? And with Hinata?" The last Uchiha member had stated back out of an sudden curiousity. Which had brought up back Shikamaru's and Neji's attention. Not to mention Toji who kept yelling up the word "Battle." As if it was new to him.

"Oh right. You weren't there then, after you've gotten that stupid neck mark from Orochimaru, man..And this is where I have to explain, keh. What a drag." The seventh hokage's adviser had complained about.

"To keep it short and away from anybody freaking limited lives. Let's just say that Neji here had hard time with his cousin for his dad's death and with the rest of his family, for a very longtime. Until Naruto had set him straight in battle at the final exam and to which you've still missed. Well, almost."

"But Hinata had gotten stronger ever since, now. I've seen it." Which it left Neji perplexed. Who could had known that the last Uchiha had been a supporter of his cousin? Well maybe, because when Hinata had first gotten pregnant with Naruto, she had gotten cranky with her husband and had often drove him insane, before with all the cravings and hormones, not to forget moodswings. Feelings she dealt today, even. Or maybe, she had been the only girl who was sane enough to not have had fantazied onto him unlike other girls like Ino or Sakura. Or maybe, Sasuke was just being polite towards his best friend's wife's strong status. Uchiha had gotten weird, lately. But to answer his question, yes. Hinata has gotten a lot stronger, lately.

And scary and more scary than her little sister could ever be.

Well, as long you don't step onto her feet or cooking, you'll come out and face the day, out alive. Neji had known something about it after he'd been forced to stay into Naruto's and hers appartement to eat a spicy curry dish to which it almost send him up to the hospita a few weeks before when he told her that she needed some rest while Boruto had been crying. She nearly went red, insane completely when she whirled her hardened and pissed face at him as if he had offended her as a young woman and new mother. Oh No..He almost sweated up back at that terrifying memory. But likedly, it was mild and not strong..Oh God. Or else, she would have stabbed him or punch him with her cooking spoon. He really hoped she'll come back onto her old self, again. The nice kind. Not the mean one with the spoon!

"True. But back then, I was a different man." Neji had cleardly interrupted the lazy Nara, before he could've had said anything."I was filled up with vengence and hatred after my father's death. Stated that every normal people with different strenght was weaker than me. Telling them they were nothing but losers, much like Lee and Naruto. However, after that battle with Naruto and with the last scroll that was brought up to me and written by my father before he was killed, I did learn something. That I've could choosen up my own destiny and be free. Chose to make my own decisions. Just like I've done by protecting my cousin and her husband." And with the scarred darkened scars he carried onto his chest and lower abdomen, not to mention his back that he could've had been remained paralyzed much like Rock Lee could've had been before after his battle with Gaara. And Tenten whom had almost lost her dignity by failing up easily at her own battle with Temari. He went rough with Hinata and to which he almost did killed her with hatred, before and if it wasn't for Naruto's own speech, Neji would still have followed up into that same path..

But not anymore.

"Which I've still missed, I guess.." Sasuke had guessed up. Not to mention he almost had been disqualified, if he hadn't shown up.

"Yup. Third time is a charm, man.." Shikamaru had followed up back."Man, you could've had learn a few things with Neji here instead of dealing or siding up with the bad guy. It would've had spared us a lot of trouble, you know?"

"As if I've could had known better." Sasuke scoffed back for answer. Which made Neji fold his arms against his chest as he stood silent and kept on listening here. He scrowled up, here. Oh Damn. He could've had crossed up the same path like Sasuke, if he hadn't been well surrounded with family and friends. He had friends and family, however, not so much for Sasuke whom had been played for the most of his life. Neji had held an grudge towards the family who made his father sacrified himself but it had been his own choice to do it so. However, not so much for Sasuke. If the late Uchiha Itachi had been honest before, none of this matter would have had happened..

"It would have spared us to create a fourth war, you know? If that clan of yours wasn't so into the power or being obssessed with it-" Shikamaru had groaned annoyingly back towards Sasuke who rose up and stepped foreword toward Nara here.

"I mean I get it!" Sasuke had went up again in a argument with Shikamaru, until Neji had cut them before it gotten way out of control. It was no use, to start a fight or relieving old scars from the past.

"It's no use. What is done is done now. Can't go back onto it." Neji had shut down his eyes and took a deep breath out."Naruto had gave you a chance, Sasuke. And no matter what I think about you, you better not waste it, this time. A strong friendship like that, it itsn't to be taken for granted." A few years before he had taken this battle with Naruto, Neji could've had sworn he would have taken a similiar path like Sasuke but he was now glad it hadn't been the case. He had became an better person and grown man who didn't needed hatred to fufill his way of getting his own way to live his life. Hell no. He would've had killed everybody into the Hyuuga family clan, even Hinata. Oh God. He could've had become like Sasuke. Not to be able to have a few friends or a girlfriend. Like Tenten. A simple normal life. And look where things had gotten for him, now. The guy up here had still a long way to go if he wanted people to gain his trust. And with the uper arm he lost with his battle with Naruto, it had been a reminder of him to not let himself get ahead of anger here. And close to lose his own humanity.

"No. I won't. I had my lesson." And it sounded like a promise. Which Neji had taken as a way from Sasuke's own words."Despite of you not baring up to see my face around. You still don't like me, around." As if Hyuugas or Uchihas had ever liked each other. Maybe when his father Hizashi had looked for help and Sasuke's late father, Fugaku had come around, once. In a laughing and desparate matter. They still didn't liked each other as much as before.

"And especially not around, Hinata. I may be her cousin, but I'm also an protective brother. I still don't trust you, Sasuke, but if it means for Naruto's sake or anybody else's, I might as well accept it. By the way it is.."

"Hn." That sound had made the lazy Nara scoff which made the things between them less harder to handle.

"And I thought you've had given up onto that line. Cause I've felt you talked way too much for your sake, man."

"Hn." And Sasuke had shut his mouth once more from speaking out.

"The hell, man." Shikamaru had replied back and looked back up at Neji."So, I heard that you and Tenten had been going off, for a while now. So, how is it?" That answer left the Hyuuga man a bit perplexed. His eye had almost twitched up at the sound of it.

"Oh that? Well, we're doing just okay..." He blurted out as an quick reply, but Shikamaru wouldn't had it. He just smirked back at his face which made Neji holding up back a wince. Just how much did the guy had known about him and Tenten? Unless, he spotted them, before.

"Just okay?" Seriously? And he thought that the lazy Nara had thought that all women were a drag to talk about. However, a few things had changed since ever since Shikamaru had gotten out with Temari.

"It's not like it's your bussiness. But like I've said before; we're doing just fine, now.." Neji had spared the long way of explaining how his life had been with a woman as like with his teamate and girlfriend.

Or maybe a life partner, if everything goes okay...As long he doesn't screw things out.

...

"It's nothing to worry out..Other than the fact, you've just passed out into your own office, Naruto." Ashamed, as he sat onto the examining bench to where he had been taken by three strong men, after he volunteerly passed out. One was his brother in law, his rival and best friend and adviser friend with a lazy attitude. Naruto was sitting up onto the seat as an certain long blond haired woman had just finished to examinate him as she was sitting on her chair and filled up the papers she had onto her desk.

"You're sure? Shouldn't you prescibe me some antidepressants for that? I mean, I felt the world spinning up, before.." He asked up back when the blond haired woman exhaled back in defeat.

"Hinata-chan makes you live an hard time, no? I don't think it's bad, but if she comes up and stabs you at night with a knife? Let me know.."

"Ino!" With a little laugh, Ino whirled around with her chair when she faced him. The tall and long blond haired woman had changed much throughtout her chunnin years and after the war, as she had accepted the job here as the nurse of the of the office and managed to hold up with the flower shop of her family with the help of a few cousins coming up from the Yamanaka clan. Close up to the Hokage's own office. She wore a white cloth to which covered her purple tunic and skirt and ever since she'd been engaged to Naruto's uncomfortable teamate and friend, Sai whom had recently started to create a few art courses for the new genins to come and get a view of their own thinking, psychology feeling and from the way art would able an option to help them to express their feelings, here. Express their emotions throughtout art. Which had been a good idea.

"Calm down! All women go through that and after giving birth. Well, not all of them, but still. It's been that for generations and generations." Ino had followed back. To Naruto's disappointement. Well, he kinda had wished her to give him a kick onto the back of his head, like she and Sakura had often done before. But the annoying girl had grown up, onto an adult now and acted like one.

"You say that as if you've lived it.." The seventh Hokage had whinned about it as she waved up her hands towards him, in surrounder.

"Well, not as much but from what Lady Tsunade and Sakura had told me, it's practically normal. Hinata just needs to believe and that she still believe you still love her for who she is and not for her body figure. For herself like when you two started to date after the war and not for attractive feeling much like sex and there's more into life than sex..If you were a woman, you'd know-" Ino had been cut out as Naruto shook and grabbed his head in desparate mood. Oh Boy, Ino really thought he was going to pass out again. When he spoke out, loudly and desparate. Which he sounded up here. The twelve year old boy she often had seen before.

"Oh God! How many times, do I have to hear that word? Why? Why?"

"What word?"

"Sex! Why do I have to keep on onto listening to it? Why?" However, Ino just blinked up as if it was natural. Sex was just a natural matter for anybody therefore Naruto shouldn't be having a meltdown, here.

"Because it's a normal thing when you are in a relationship with somebody. Whetever is a woman or a man. Remember when you first kissed Sasuke, and that Sakura and I, and mostly all girls had wanted to kill you back in class?"

"Argh, don't remind me.." He groaned back at the sudden and horrible memory. And not to mention, it had been his first kiss with his rival and friend. Oh Lord..Hope it doesn't get onto Hinata's hearing or else she'll probably kick him out of the place, unless she did see back then..Oh dear lord.

It had been a stupid mistake, that's all and people had known how to move on. No?

"I suspect, it wasn't only the matter that had occurred back there at your office, no? Something else had happened, no?" Ino had asked back more seriously this tiime when he brought his attention right back to her when she folded her arms against her chest here as she stared up at him.

"Uh?"

"The reason you fainted like a girl? I don't think it's just blood pressure, Naruto, it must be something else too, you know?" Ino had followed back as she rose up an arched eyebrow as the reminding matter when he fainted onto the floor of his office when he had an sudden anxiety attack. Or so. After seeing three naked men into his office from what he had believed to see. Not that people would believe it.

"Other than baby blues?" Or post partum. Maybe. Fliching up with discomfort, Naruto had heard that a few women whom had given birth before, may have had hard feelings against their new born babies as they wanted to kill them. At this close range..Uh? Hell no! No Hinata is way too nice and was the kind of one who loved children even if they were her own. Theirs. He should say. They are gonna be fine, for sure unless she explode up like Sakura whenever she gets very mad.

And very mad. MAD. But Naruto held on onto living here and so did Hinata.

"Naruto.." Ino's voice warned him onto telling more than he should.

"Argh, I think it's just stress and the lack of sleep, that's all. One day, Boruto would probbly stop crying on its own. The little guy is what? Five months old? He'll get tired.." He defended his kid's actions. It wasn't Boruto's fault, after all. The little kid could only cry for getting attention even if it's Boruto had pooped or was even for hunger. However, the new mom and dad had selflessly just wanted this drag nonsense to end. Oh man.

"Unless he has fever-"

"Nope. Sakura had said it was teething. I mean every kid has it!" He cut off back with determination. Well, all kids who were going through with teething had fever. Or hadn't they? Or did he gotten himself unclear? Oh boy, did it creeped him? Yeah, it sure did. Now, it did freaked him out.

"Or probably Boruto just wants to test your patience now that you're Hokage and all. You must be very occupied. And yet, Hinata has been with you-"

"Or probably, I'll just leave it, like it is..I mean, I'll probably know when Hina is gonna kill me, someday if I don't help her out.."

"I don't think she would, Naruto. Hinata-chan is far too nice to kill-"

"She had almost threatened me to block off all my chakra points if I'm not being helpful with her on Boruto. So, yes, she can be evil when she wants, you know?" He exploded back with defense and loud enough to make her ears boil up.

"Looks like someone had spend far too much time with Neji-kun, lately.." Ino had remarked back with a smirk to the corner of her cheek.

"While that guy has been recovering, he guided her through training with Hanabi, or more like observing it. That bastard. And Sasuke is no better!" Naruto had harshly talked about the two important men in his best friend and brother in law. He even could had heard them sneezing outside of the door. Right outside of the nurse's office and as they have been listenening through the door. Even a parrot's squeaking up shout was heard. These bastards!

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"I kinda watched him peaking over my wife's boobs, before I've even left the appartement with him.." He gritted through his teeth when Ino just giggled nervously. Since when the lost Uchiha was rumoured to be a pervert? After all, Hinata had the curves and the boobs for a woman who could make a man fall down onto his knees, but Sasuke Uchiha? It had to be a miracle, and now that she has weird and unusual moodswings, the guy would soon be dead if he had gotten himself caught.

And Naruto. Oh, be prepared to watch your ass and with the special vision she has, it wouldn't be easy to go unoticed.

"Oh come on. You can't be serious. Or jealous, I mean Sasuke had barely looked up onto anybody or at any girls. Nor Hinata had been in the picture. All that had been there, even before he wanted to get along with Sakura after the war.." Ino had clearified with a snicker but had turned out to be serious in a second thought. "And I've meant by wanting to go with Sakura.."

"What do you mean by that?" His attitude had switched up when Sakura's name has been brought up. When Ino shrugged up in defense.

"Come on. You know that she and I talk a lot about all and everything, but lately she had told me she kicked him out of her place and because she didn't wanted to get tricked once again, by him. She had gotten pretty much heartbroken by him, remember that? And didn't wanted him to give the thought he could get her easily, as he did before.." The blond haired woman had revealed out by defending her friend.

"I know what you mean by that.." He had been lucky to have someone who can love him and him to love back. Hinata had been that person and the person he least expected to love him, when he felt down by anybody throughtout his entire childhood. Until he had learn to stand up for himself and without the help of anybody. He kept a straight goal to his mind. By becoming the most powerful hokage ever. That even a failure could achieve and become stronger than everybody whom had laughed up at his face who suddenly baffle and shut up with astonishement.

However, with Sakura it hadn't been that easy ever since the war. She had been pretty much occupied at the hospital. A busy shinobi, or mostly it had been just an excuse for her to avoid Sasuke around. The man who used to have had broken up her heart so many times before, had asked her for help. Help for him to move after he'd been released from prison. However, after that brutal and unthinking move he did, his ass got backed out down onto the street. Poor Sakura. Things had gotten pretty weird with her and Sasuke.

"Like I said, I know what you mean." Naruto had recalled back when she added up once again.

"I hope you do. Cause, it doesn't matter if you're still best friends with Sasuke or not, Sakura is my own best friend from a very longtime and soon to be my bridesmaid at my wedding. Like I said, if Sasuke ever thinks or manage to make a brutal move on her again-"

"Don't worry about that. She's a big tough girl and she had kicked my ass so many times, before she did with Sasuke, Ino!" And Sakura was tired to get hurt by him. But with Sasuke whom felt, like he still didn't wanted to give up on her. No matter how she kept pushing him away. Even if it meant for him to suffer. Ahh, what love could do to humans, lately had been hard.

"Doesn't matter that. Cause even a tough girl like her or like Tenten, aren't able to not feel heartbroken-" Ino had stopped right back into her tracks before she did say too much when she whirled around and slapped her mouth shut. But the blond haired man had caught her saying it.

"Hey wait, what do you mean by Tenten not being able to not feel heartbroken-"

"Forget what I've said about Tenten-chan. It's not my bussiness-"

"But you just said it!"

"And I just said to forget it!" Ino had cut him back using the tone she used as a teen when she used to get annoyed. And frowned back away from his face."Listen, if you really think that something is wrong with Boruto, I could always avalaible to check up onto him, but I'm sure it's only temporary period." The blond woman had said back up at him."And if it's as worse it seems like you've said, I'll call up Sakura and tell her to reconsider her opinion after I examinate Boruto."

"Very well..." He followed up back looking a bit sober and really hoped that somehow it would easy the lack of sleep between him and Hinata, cause if Boruto was really sick, it'll might be the time to reconsider all the facts on A to Z. Even if the little kid was a little too young to have teething, at only five months old. However, the thing about Tenten, Naruto would want to get know more onto it. Sooner or later. It kinda peaked it out his curiousity. But first deal with Boruto and be less of a coward onto backing away on his fatherhood duty. Be more of the brave man that Hinata had fallen for and married.

"So, if you told me what happened before at your office, maybe it would made you feel better.." Naruto had gulped up at this line as he reminded himself how he had gotten himself here, in the first place! Oh what? Oh no! Not that statement..Just please, no! He looked horrified back at the woman here.

"Not sure, it would work.." Please, don't make him say all the details! Just no, Ino! Just no, please! But the Yamanaka woman just wanted to know more as she just sat there with a snicker as she used before.

"Try me and I'll see how I can convince Sakura to give Sasuke a second chance.." It wasn't such a good idea, although it sure was. Cause deep down, the pink haired woman wouldn't want to give a chance to the ex-revenger. At least, not right away with the brutal move he just had done. But anything was possible with Ino, since she was the only whom had known better Lady Tsunade's most trusted and former student.

The hell with it! Naruto decided to come up open.

"Well, let's just say that I've developped an sudden thing about guys being naked.." The blond haired man grimaced back when he had seen how Ino's nice expression had changed into confusion. He turned his head towards the door with leery until he looked back at the medic-nin. Naruto sighed back in defeat.

"You see, it all started last night.."

...

Meanwhile, from the other side of the door...

"Hey, you guys hear anything? Cause I'm pretty sure it got quiet, for a second."

"Damn, my back.." The Hyuuga winced back at the silence when he felt Shikamaru's elbow onto his back as Sasuke shook his head in defeat. He, whom nothing had interested him before was now peaking over at the voices behind the door. No, he wasn't a pervert or anything like it, but since he had heard Ino saying his name along with Sakura's, it gotten into his interest.

"Nope, it gotten too quiet. Too much quiet.." The Uchiha's ear was also pressed toward the door here as much it had been for Shikamaru whom groaned. The ex-revenger had dropped out a deep sigh.

"Man, what a drag. When it was getting good here." The lazy Nara had sighed back in defeat."Hey Neji, what did Ino meant by that and with Tenten?" He had followed up back as he wondered up after he pulled away from the door along with the other men. As much as the Hyuuga man pulled back away when he felt his back hurt through his spine. He felt his back getting itchy and especially from last night's beautiful relaxing moment as Neji rememembered. Tenten's relaxing hands hadn't been a memory to forget. Intoxicating. But it was fading away now letting the pain come in. Calm down, Neji, calm down. After he showered, dressed up, had feed up Toji and had breakfast with Tenten. And with his headband covered up his bare forehead, he went up with Toji on his shoulder, to Konoha Hospital for an health checking routine with Sakura and had wanted to do an complete report onto the misson he came back from, until this madness with Naruto and Sasuke had come up along..

Nothing out of ordinary, even if Sakura had told him that even if he was healing nicely from the injuries he'd taken five years ago, he still needed to go easy and not be too pushy over his body strength as much when his lower back reminded him of the past pain. He was lucky enough to be able to go onto missions, even. But he might as well end up with a cane once he gets much older..

And if he kept on playing or forcing himself around.

"Ohh, that? Nothing that seems to be important to say or to be told." He assured back as he wipped off his nose with his long sleeve after he and Sasuke had been harshdly talked behind their backs as they've stood up close to the door and listened up to the conversation. And without using the byakugan.

"You're sure? You did looked stiffed when she mentioned your teamate.." Sasuke had to drag up back. Did he? He hadn't noticed not much as Toji had yelped out about it as he flown back onto his shoulder, while he had been holding up onto his wings while they were listened to the door, like idiots. But had somehow wished that the parrot had puked out onto Sasuke's stupid haircut, then.

"So? It's not your bussiness, Sasuke.." But the ex-branch member had known better though. Ino must have found out about Tenten's lost parent before and from the way Tenten's mother had abandonned her and had left her under the hands of an evil man, must have been running around the village. Strangers from other countries whom had illegaly walked to the village, from many years ago. And yet, he was sure enough that this matter with his teamate remained private. Neji was sure that Tenten wanted to keep this matter a secret to herself and to nobody else. Well, expect him. When he found this out back from an old photo, five years ago. And yet, she didn't wanted to do anything with her mother. At all and to which it had been her final decision. He couldn't force her, either way. And like she had told him before; she had found her own family and friends, including him. As a friend and teamate but as a lover and boyfriend. She formed and built up her own strength and with him by her side, forever.

Yes. Boyfriend. He finally admitted to himself. About damn time.

"Damn, what had gotten to him anyways?" The lazy Nara had dragged on again. Man, and he thought he had been the smartest of them all. But wasn't talking about him but of Naruto here as he pointed the door. Where the seventh hokage was still being held and examined after the three of them had dragged him here.

"Dunno. Other than I've just moved with him and Hinata's, for a few weeks..Dunno, what dragged him into that nonsense and freaking thing." Sasuke had followed up back when he felt his stare towards him, with annoyance."What?"

"Did you just said you've just moved up with them?" Neji had followed up back at him with interest. But not in the good way out here. He watched Sasuke shrugging off his shoulders as it didn't meant him of the mess he might he have to deal with and even if it was by confronting Hinata's balky cousin here.

"Yeah. So, is that a problem?"

"Never said it was. I just don't trust your judgement, and towards you being with my cousin and nephew onto the same roof."

"And Naruto-"

"I know that Naruto can defend himself and so does, Hinata. However a kid like Boruto, just don't even think of getting away onto him or else you're gonna have to cross paths with me.."

"Is that a threat?" The ex-revenger scoffed back as he lifted up an eyebrow. As if he was ready for a challenge here.

"If you say so." Neji had added up. As long he leaves Tenten away from the conversation. A bickering fight with the last Uchiha would be much better to handle. He really wanted to protect her from any exposure and from any shame here. The last thing she needed was to be laughed up at the face by anyone here, and with the last Uchiha's own laugh. However, the guy wasn't laughing here. His features had switched up into an hardened one when he realized the worst coming from his best friend's wife's own cousin.

"Don't tell me; you think that I'm willing to attack or kidnapping a kid? Are you out of your mind here, Hyuuga?" Sasuke had realized that point coming from the thoughtfull Neji who only shrugged as he scowled back at him, which it left the lazy Nara drop out a sigh as he mumbled something like he was grateful he didn't belonged to any weirdo clans like Sasuke's or Neji's.

"Nope, I'm not. I'm pretty sure serious, you know." The young recovering man had welcomed up the idea with pleasure. After all, it wouldn't be the first time that someone had stolen somebody with byakugan carrier. Hinata had been the first one who had almost been kidnapped before and if it hadn't been for her father, she might would have been dead and the secret of the kenkkei genkai would have been discovered through its own ennemies's eyes. It was also rumoured that the Uchihas might had been under the impression as well even if it had been a rumour. And even if Boruto didn't developped the powerful kenkkei genkai at all, he might be a threat to the strangers outside of the village, though.

"And when was that?" Sasuke's hardened voice had woken him up when he came back to the present. When he blinked back as much when Toji had almost missed to bite him back at the ear. When he almost backed off with a waving hand that almost sent the parrot into an angry screaming squawk here.

"Last time I've checked, you mean? Oh, when I had nearly died once. Onto that retrieval rescuing mission when all of us genins, except Shikamaru here had tried to get your ass back into the village whenever you liked or not." Neji had cut him off back a little bit too much toward the ex-revenger's frustrated face."And the war that nearly costed all of ninjas here, theirs lives. Including mine."

"So, it's all about you here. Taking off the spotlight in order to shine? How delightful-" Sasuke had scoffed back but he got cut off when Neji hadn't finished with his speech when he approached up more to face up the man with a scowl. When Naruto's best friend and rival didn't do much better than him here.

"Why not? You've already had yours blow up onto anybody's bussiness, here. I think there's a need of a refreshing changing up, here..And besides, who needs a guy who has a duck's ass stuck onto the back of his head? To be taken seriously with his problems? And to re-start an demolished clan back into life?"

"Why you-"

"Seriously, you guys? Come on, just give it up!" Shikamaru had decided to jump in through the fight that was starting to take place here if he hadn't pushed the two shinobis away from another. Annoyed than to be at some kindergarten place. When the two of them and both from powerful clans were blaming and pointing each other back at the same time. Even Toji had agreed it, even if he didn't quite understood a thing.

"He started it!"

"Awrk!"

"Man. What a drag and I've thought you guys had grown-" BOOOIINNG! The loud and shaken sound had surprised both of the three men out of their own conflict. They've turned all their attentions toward the door where the sound was heard. When they've all stood in shock and trembled when they heard Naruto trying to speak as an unreasonable and angry Yamanaka Ino was heard and her anger had been horrifying to feel and to hear.

"You moron!"

"Wait, Ino-chan! I can explain everything-"

"Get out!"

"But I-"

"I SAID GET OUT!" The woman had pushed out all of her voice out which made three men shiver when they backed out a step and held their breath when the door was opening up slowly. Revealing an groaning and moaning with annoying pain, seventh hokage, Naruto who held up an icepack onto his aching and hidden groin through his darkened pants and wrinkled up orange sweater. He scowled up in shame as he walked out with his eyes shut with shame. To the astonishement of the three men here, damn. Even Sasuke was strucked up here into shock. Nothing dangerous but strucked here as he couldn't believe it that his friend had gotten kicked in onto the most painful section. That no man wanted to to ever feel.

And to which, Ino was sending angry glares to them up in here. And boy, she did looked pissed.

"What are you guys staring up, here? Ever seen an angry shinobi and medic-nin woman here, before?"

But all three of them except, Naruto had shaken their heads in denial. Damn, even Neji and Sasuke had done it fast before they've said anything. They were too damned frightened to say anything else towards the lady. Ino only scowled back by dropping out a sigh to Naruto whose back was still shown up back at her face or more like he wanted to hide himself away from everything here.

"Oh and, Naruto, one thing here.."

"Yeah?" The blond haired man with whiskers had gulped hard when he refused to meet her glare as much with the pain he was holding up with. With both hands. When he figured as if he was at the center of the attewntion here with Shikamaru, Sasuke and Neji here, who also stood up with shock expressions.

"Bring back that icepack, when you're done and say 'hi' to Hinata-chan and Boruto for me. And if your kid still gives you nightmares at night, call me and I'll see if Sakura can take you back.." Ino had clearified back. Like an order when he nodded and fast before she could change her mind onto helping him.

"Sure thing. Thanks."

"Good." The blond haired woman had followed up with an twitching and angry eye but before she closed up the door she gave one look to Sasuke with an glaring. Or more like a warning one here. And to which it made him gulp up as well.

"Oh, and Sasuke?"

"Yeah?" He dared to ask even if he really didn't wanted to face an certain death penality coming from Sakura's best friend who once ran for and was madly in love with him, until his true colors made her realize that he was not better than any other men here, alive.

"Screw you. You big asshole." And when the ex-revenger had wanted to say something up, the door got slammed up onto his face. Much to his shock here as he turned up for support coming from the two other annoyed guys.

"Gee. And I thought I've would have gotten up worse here.." He turned around to meet the other guys's annoyed stares which it were to say that even if Ino was acting up quiet mood, something deep down was definally burning up here.

"Don't get your hopes up too much, man. I know Ino, here. And when she tells you that you are a big asshole, she sure means well as if you're about to die, here. No kidding at all." The lazy Nara had followed back up with an dragged up sigh as he scratched up his ear with his finger with disgust, too much for Sasuke or to Naruto's displeasure.

...

So what do you think? Liked that sort of bickering battle with Neji and Sasuke? I sure did! And Naruto almost creeping down onto his pants, it was sure funny despite for the serious matter here. Be nice and sent a review, please? Thank you!
