Hey, hey!

Nothing to add, enjoy the chapter!

Hinata sat in Neji's study, in his home that was now their temporary home.

Her chair was turned from the door and she looked at the mountain of books on the shelves imbedded in the walls. Neji hated to be compared to Hiashi, just like her, but Neji had the same style as Hiashi.

Right now, Hinata was ignoring some tasks on her to-do list. There were numerous folders on her desk. Two of them of importance that she wanted to share with Naruto and Sasuke soon. Finalized report from Obito that Hinata has been working with Ino and the intel department on. The only reason Hinata dedicated helping that department so much was simply because they helped her for certain matters.

Like Hanabi.

Hinata's leaned into the large dark cherry colored leather chair. She folded one leg on top of the other as she focused on a family painting hung above the wall of books. It was of Neji and his father, Hizashi. It was odd, Neji really didn't see Hiashi as his father. He didn't see her mother as his mother. Neji only saw Hanabi and herself as his sisters. Everyone else didn't matter to him.

So why did they mean so much to her?

In her relaxed position Hinata started to bite her thumb nail as she continued to look at the painting. How well off were they that they had family paintings for goodness sake. Heavens forbid Neji's father just got a picture taken and blew it up to a bigger size. It would have been less time and money. Very unlike her family to go the bland route though.

This brought a smile to Hinata's face. "Are you okay?"

Hinata heard Naruto at the doorway and slowly turned around to smile at him. He could easily see it was a fake smile. "No. Hanabi has spoken out of order again, and I just had to resolve the matter with her sensei." This happens at least once a month. It was becoming a burden.

Neji usually handled Hanabi. Now Hinata was beginning to see why he stressed so much.

Hinata and Hanabi weren't getting along at all. Hanabi only came to her when she was in trouble or needed permission for something. Other than that. Hanabi steered clear of Hinata.

It hurt Hinata honestly.

Hinata ignored that topic. Best handle that another day. "Are the boys still sleeping?"

"Yeah." Sasuke came into the study to answer this. Him and Naruto walked in and sat on the extra chairs in the study. They were big and comfortable. Neji definitely invested in his home. "What's wrong? You've been quiet and isolating yourself with just the boys today."

Naruto nodded his head. Agreeing with Sasuke. "One of those days?"

Hinata still smiled at them. They always took care of her. Naruto and Sasuke always returned the affection of Hinata taking care of them. "Yes. I am rather tired. My sister is stressing me. Duties that I relied on Neji to do, I have to do because I cannot trust Hanabi to help pick up the slack. I want to do new things within the Hyuga clans infrastructure, but it is time consuming. I cannot seem to find enough time for everything. So, this is all just personal issues that I will handle day by day. Today is just a rough day."

Hinata in the past would have never told them what the problem was. She would have tried to endure it until she crashed. However, things were different now. Their relationship only gets stronger day by day. The more they understand each other.

Some days Sasuke was not okay. Some days Naruto was dejected and some days Hinata was isolated. It happens, considering all of their backgrounds.

Hinata smiled down at the folders on her desk. She slid them over to Naruto and Sasuke. "I've gotten the final reports from intel and interrogation squadron. Uchiha Obito. What we've been working on. We finished. Everything is extracted. Please read it."

The folders were the same. One for Naruto and the other for Sasuke. They both looked at Hinata before taking the folders to read.

Believe it or not. Naruto was a fast reader, so he finished reading everything before Sasuke. He rested one arm over his head, behind the chair he sat on, as he looked at Hinata. "I'm not really surprised. Kurama told me about majority of this. He knew it was an Uchiha, just not the fact it was Obito. So, Obito was Kakashi-sensei's teammate. Pretty much dies out on a mission. Gets 'rescued' by this ancient man, Madara Uchiha, that somehow kept himself alive long enough to brainwash Obito."

Sasuke nodded his head in agreement with Naruto. "Obito witnesses Kakashi killing the love of his life. However, Obito failed to realize that his teammate Rin was going to go back to Konoha, and destroy it with a tailed beast that the enemy sealed inside her. That's what Kakashi told us, when he told the story of the team seven he was on. So, Obito sets up the downfall of the original Akatsuki, which wasn't a bad organization in the beginning. So he could create this Akatsuki. That wanted to destroy the world."

Naruto looks at a random spot on the oak table. "Yeah. He comes back to the village. During the most vulnerable time of my parents life. Tortures my mom. Extracts Kurama from her and causes havoc on the village. Fights my dad and uses Kurama to try to kill me. My parents jumps in, of course, to stop Kurama and they die."

Sasuke looked at Naruto before he looks back at the documents in the folder he was holding. "Obito met with Danzo before the Uchiha massacre, and formed an agreement with Itachi to carry out the massacre. Of course Itachi was willing to take this to his grave, that he wasn't the sole person to kill our clan. He would want to take all the burden. Still, Obito assisted in killing off Uchiha's. His own clan. He really did start all of this."

Sasuke shook his head. His family produced utter psychopaths. Himself included.

Hinata looked down at her desk and recalled the Akatsuki mission. "Obito worked closely with this thing called Zetsu. Obito treated it like it was his minion or something. However, upon closer investigation. Zetsu is hundreds of years old. If not more. It was using Obito. Hoping to use Obito as a gateway to awaken something more dangerous."

Naruto looked at Hinata curiously. "How were you all able to figure that out?"

Hinata looked back up to Naruto, "Itachi called in his former partner. Kisame. Ino was scared at first, but we were able to probe his mind with his cooperation. Getting his cooperation by offering…exoneration from all Konoha's bounties against him. Kisame knew all the time the true mission of Akatsuki and that 'Pain' and Konan were being used. A lot of research was done on Zetsu to realize it's age and the fact it's not human."

Hinata was hesitant for a moment before she spoke up. "I volunteered for Ino to search my mind. Maybe on anything I missed while defending myself against Obito and Zetsu. I had my Byakugan activated, yet Zetsu numerous times snuck around me. I didn't know how it knew about my blind spot. Only you two, Kakashi-sensei and Neji know where my blind spot is."

Hinata opened her study drawer near her hip and pulled out a profile picture. "It's…a theory. However, historically this creature Zetsu is said to be the creation of this woman. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. The mother of the sage of six paths. She has the Byakugan. So, Zetsu would know all about my blind spot. Reason why I struggled so hard to defend myself."

Naruto and Sasuke blinked repeatedly as they looked at the historical picture. This was academy history. Naruto looked at the picture and she did in fact have Hinata's eyes. Or Hinata had her eyes. This was insane. All of this.

Sasuke nodded his head as he looked at the picture. "You did the right thing risking it all to get this intel. Not for just me and Naruto either. For the grand scheme of things. Something tells me you're not done with the intel squadron by a long shot. Are you?"

Hinata smiled somberly as she looked at the picture of Kaguya. "Me and Ino…we work very well together. We were able to piece all of this together. The intel squadron has voiced their need for me and Ino to stay paired together. Considering what they have done in the past to help me in regards to the Danzo and Hanabi situation. I am forever in their debt."

The fact that they made Hanabi being at lunches with Danzo before Hiashi's death go away. Hinata asked for their help, and they helped. It comes with a price of course. Naruto could just see Hinata looked like the soul was being sucked from her just thinking about it. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do Hinata. You can't-"

He paused when Sasuke elbowed him. Already sensing where Naruto was going with this. He was going to bring up Hanabi, because honestly. Hinata's been bending over backwards for the girl lately and they could see it was starting to take its toll on her.

Hinata looked at Naruto. Waiting for him to finish. She looked at him confused. "What is it?"

Naruto bit his bottom lip and closed his eyes. "Hinata. I just want to be honest with you. I don't want you to take this the wrong way. Alright?"

Hinata of course nodded her head. Naruto ignored the warning look from Sasuke and proceeded. "I know I said a while ago that you were doing all of this for your sister, and I know I'm big on family and being there for them. Still, you just can't…you can't keep letting Hanabi do this. You and even Neji. You guys carry her on your shoulders and put her on this pedestal. You can't keep putting that stress on yourself by someone that just keeps dumping more on your plate."

Hinata slowly nodded her head in understanding as she looked away at Naruto and at an empty space. "Neji is gone. If I do not protect my sister. Then who will? Hanabi doesn't have to love me. I've done awful things to her-"

"You do realize you snapped on your sister not only at your weakest moment, but because she did the most insane shit ever and went fraternizing with Danzo. When you specifically told her not to. She also knew you were hurting and tried to take your foot off with a door."

Naruto said this with a serious face and Sasuke closed his eyes. This could possibly be an argument. Usually Sasuke started the arguments and sat back to watch his evil doings.

Hinata frowned at Naruto. "Hanabi was young. She still is young. She didn't understand the importance of me telling her that. I scared her that day when I was covered in black veins."

Naruto gave Hinata an annoyed look. He was still slouched in the chair and had one arm draped above his head, over the chair. "Hanabi was 14 when Hiashi died. She was actively dating. So, she can madly fall in love with Konohamaru, but can't listen to basic orders? She had already made Chunin at the time. Yet can't listen to ORDERS? You're really going to sit here and tell me it was because of her 'age' Hinata? She doesn't listen to anyone. Not Neji. Not you. Not her sensei's. No one. You can't keep doing this with her. Acting like Hanabi is more valuable than you because she doesn't have the same past as you and Neji. That doesn't make her better than you, EVER."

Naruto wasn't trying to argue, but the Hanabi subject was long overdue. He didn't want Hinata flat out smacking the hell out of Hanabi again, but he didn't want Hinata to let her sister walk all over her. Just because Hinata felt guilty.

Hinata sighed and ran her hands through her hair. "I agree. She's just getting more and more rebellious the older she gets. It's a handful. I feel like sometimes Hanabi purposely picks just to get that negative reaction out of me, so she can still view me as a monster."

Sasuke finally relaxed in the chair as he looked at Hinata and slowly nodded his head. "If she's anything like me. She'll find a way to be upset with you as long as possible. I still struggle with having a brother relationship with Itachi. If Itachi catches me on the wrong day, I do everything in my power to remind him that what he did was inhumane and hurt me. That being said, if I catch Itachi on the wrong day…he's going to remind me not to test his patience."

Hinata smiled for a moment at this. "I understand. I will try to be a bit more stern on Hanabi. Making sure not to go overboard."

Naruto smiled at this and even smiled at Sasuke for backing him up, even though Sasuke didn't want to be involved in the light argument. "That's all I'm asking Princess."

Hinata smiled as she looked at her two handsome husbands. She bit her bottom lip and looked at the two folders they placed back on the table. "I will not be taking on such intense missions from intel for a while anyways. Just staying in the office for the most part. Helping when I can."

Naruto and Sasuke watched Hinata blush as she looked at them. "Since I am pregnant. I cannot do certain tasks for that department anyways. I do not want to get injured or anything."

It was silent for over 60 seconds.

Sasuke blinked and Naruto blinked. Processing what Hinata just said. Naruto thought back to all the times they've had sex. Lately he was a condom person. He slowly turned his head to look at Sasuke. Who was not a condom person.

This was Sasuke's child.

Sasuke looked at Hinata with wide eyes before a smile slowly graced his face. "When did you find out?"

Hinata smiled bashfully at him. She looked modest and Sasuke looked proud. "I had my doctor's appointment with Lady Tsunade yesterday. I'm eight weeks pregnant. So still very early. One heartbeat."

Naruto smiled at the two of them. Happy for his lovers. "Do you think you'll get your baby girl?" Sasuke looked interested in the questions as well. He wanted Hinata to be happy. He wanted her to have her little girl she's been pining over.

Hinata held her flushed cheeks. "Oh I would be happy as long as we have a healthy baby. A little girl would be a blessing though."

Naruto looked at Hinata and grinned. A mischievous look on his face. "Pfft. I'm sure you're getting your girl, Princess. You've been riding the hell out of Sasuke. At this point, you deserve missionary for the next few months."

Both Sasuke and Hinata blushed heavily from the brash statement. Hinata hid her face in her hands and squealed while Sasuke shot Naruto a glare. Naruto laughed at this and got up from his seat to go to the kitchen. "I'm making snacks. The boys should be waking up from their nap soon. You two want anything?"

Hinata let out a happy sigh as she uncovered her face, "Yes. I am coming now." Sasuke watched her get up and stopped her as she walked by him. He gently pulled Hinata on his lap and wrapped his arms around her.

Hinata relaxed in his hold and massaged Sasuke's hair as he buried his face in her chest. The two stayed in a peaceful silence for a moment before Sasuke pulled away and pulled Hinata into a kiss. "Thank you. For helping me with my dream."

Sasuke said this and Hinata blinked. She remembered that Sasuke's dream was to rebuild his clan. To have a family. So far, Sasuke was about to have two children. He was happy. He was feeling complete and accomplished.

It was rare to catch Sasuke in such peace. It's been tense for a few months since finding everything out about Hinata. Naruto and Sasuke were worried about her, and to see her pull through slowly but surely and continue to be the matriarch for her people. All while helping Naruto and Sasuke achieve their dreams and tend to their needs as their wife.

Sasuke appreciated her. He wanted Hinata to know that he appreciated her blessing him with another child.

Hinata cupped Sasuke's face and looked him directly in his eyes. Showing all her affection she had for him. It was beautiful. "I love you Sasuke Uchiha. I'd do anything for you. I'd do anything for Naruto-kun. For our family."

Sasuke smiled at this. It was a soft smile and he rubbed her hips as he looked at her. "Well then, listen to Naruto. You know he's coming from a good place when he talks about your sister. His presentation is just horrible. When Naruto talks like that though, me and you both know that's his warning. He's trying to contain the fact that Hanabi is in fact, annoying him and he's trying to hint that if he sees or hears about her being disrespectful to you again. He's going to flip."

Hinata nodded her head in understanding. "I know. I don't want him or you to worry."

Sasuke smirked as he ran his hands through Hinata's hair. "Do you worry about me?" Hinata looked confused at the question. "Of course." This made Sasuke chuckle, "Alright then. Of course we will worry over you. End of discussion."

He arched his brow at her. Challenging her to rebuttal. Hinata bit her bottom lip and smiled. Her husband's just wanted what was best for her.

Hinata's eyes were covered.

Naruto was guiding her hand and Sasuke was behind Hinata as she walked. Their boys running around them as they navigated Hinata. Today they went back into their new home. Everything was rebuilt from the ground up and they just walked in to look at everything.

It was a modern twist. More conservative technology that had an elegant look that fit Sasuke and Hinata's taste. Yet not too advance that it gave Naruto a headache.

The house inside was open concept. Like Neji's home they were staying in. A large island and kitchen that Hinata really stressed she wanted. With quartz countertops that were a dark charcoal color. The kitchen was slightly dark. Fluctuating between black, charcoal and gray. The stoves where connecting to the wall and were high from the boys, and the backsplash was solid white with splashes of gray.

They had a large refrigerator with double doors and it was stainless steel. The high-top chairs around the quartz island were smooth black as well. Lights hung from the ceiling over the island and they had dimming control. The kitchen having spot lights that you could adjust.

The kitchen screamed comfort for Hinata. It was a good mixture of Hinata and Sasuke.

Naruto mainly focused on the living room. He wasn't like Sasuke. He didn't lounge in the bedroom. Naruto liked movies, gaming and an open room to study his craft in. The living room had a large fireplace for cold winters and a fuzzy lamb rug. The living room already was fully carpeted. An off-white thick rug, to match the practically all white room.

The couches were the biggest argument, however Naruto won it. They got leather. Sasuke and Hinata didn't want it because in cold weather it would be cold to sit on, but Naruto was mainly in the living room area. So he won. They got black leather couches. Three-seater, two-seater and a giant recliner.

Naruto kind of got that one for Hinata. She looked cute when she would curl into the big recliner and read a book while drinking her tea. So fucking adorable. He'll just put a throw blanket on it during cold season.

Naruto's biggest pride and joy was the TV. Not too big. He wasn't that flashy, but a good 55" that hung high enough the kids couldn't touch it. Surround sound speakers and all installed throughout the living room. There was a black granite table in the middle of the room that had a department for Naruto to store his scrolls as well.

This was his room.

The master bathroom was something Hinata and Sasuke wanted to work on. Another cool colored room. Hinata was big on a nice shower. Large, glass and shower heads everywhere. Like the old one. They had a large separated bathtub in this bathroom and the toilet was in a closed off area in the bathroom. The vanity was quartz black as well. With modern flat faucets that were matte black.

It was a five-bedroom home. Right now the extra rooms were used as studies and meditation rooms. The boys shared a room and Hinata had it a nice neutral blue color. They also transitioned to beds now instead of cribs. They were officially toddlers.

Their master bedroom was something they all worked on. Naruto didn't want anything huge like last time, yet Sasuke actually liked the space. Hinata didn't mind whatever Naruto and Sasuke picked size wise. As long as they had long large windows. So Hinata got her large windows, and Naruto and Sasuke settled on medium size. That way Naruto didn't have to walk TOO far to the bathroom at night.

Naruto and Sasuke had a surprise for Hinata though. They saved the bedroom walk through for last. When they walked in their bedroom, with Hinata's eyes covered by Naruto's hand. Sasuke opened the door and directed her to the corner first. In the back, near the walk-in closet. "Okay. Now look."

Naruto uncovered her eyes and Hinata blinked as she focused on a desk with a laptop and wires around it. The laptop was on and it was a video conference on. Neji was on the other side looking at her with a small smile.

"W-W-What? D-Did you two? F-For me?" Hinata looked between Naruto and Sasuke and her mouth was hung open in complete shock. They hid this from her so well!

Naruto smiled when Hinata gave him a tight hug. She turned and looked at Sasuke and he leaned his forehead on hers instead to show his affection.

"You all are making me want to throw up."

Sasuke closed his eyes in annoyance from hearing Neji. He still grew annoyed with him.

Hinata giggled and rushed over to the laptop and smiled at Neji. "Nii-san. Are you ready for next month?" Neji grinned into the camera and Hinata watched as a curious head poked out from behind Neji. Her nephew Ōchō. "Am I ready to dump Ōchō on Naruto so I can get a peace of mind? Yes."

This just made Hinata burst out laughing.

Naruto and Sasuke watched as Hinata chatted with Neji. It's been three months since the twins birthday party. Granted, Hinata did go visit them in Amegakure for the birth of her niece with Naruto. Sasuke very adamant that he didn't want to see Neji or Tenten at the moment. Giving his congrats and love to his new niece though.

So, right now, it's still been a little under three months since Hinata has seen her brother and his family. She missed them.

Sasuke elbowed Naruto and leaned over to whisper in his ear. "Thanks. For letting me take some credit for your gift." Naruto smirked in return. He's been working on this surprise since the twins birthday party. When he was talking to the contractor. "Blow me later and it's even." Sasuke just smiled as a reply.

A vacation was looming around the corner.

No Hinata's sister. No Hyuga clan. No ninja duties. Just love and family.

Plus tension that needed to be resolved in the family.

End of chapter.

So, family beach trip is next! Plus, pregnant Hinata!

This is still the 'healing arc', so keep in mind emotions and confrontations are still happening. Specifically with Sasuke and Neji. Next chapter will be the pow wow of Sasuke/Neji and Hinata/Tenten.

This chapter is like the gateway to the vacation chapter. Gearing everything up, but these details had to be added. Like how Naruto last chapter was working on a surprise with the home contractor and this chapter you read what the surprise is. Just little details I wanted to add.

Well, see you all Saturday!
