Naruto had quite the problem put on his lap, as Hinata left with Izumi in tow he was left with the nervous red face of Hanabi in the arms of his wife. "So me and Hanabi were talking…" That pause and the words of one Namikaze Satsuki told him what he needed to know. Although he had done this all for Satsuki it seemed that he was the one who was seen as the head of their clan and therefore the one whose genes needed to be carried on to the next generation and not the Uchiha that they had originally planned. "And we have decided if you were ok with it that she became a member of our clan." A period of silence was left as Naruto tried to process that statement.

"Satsuki…" Naruto voiced not knowing what to say, in a tone his wife knew all too well.

"Don't Satsuki me. When we decided to marry and have wonderful children like Izumi we were thirteen and we were about to go on a suicide mission of my own making… I didn't mean for you to get dragged into that, and I for sure did not want you to surrender your life to me Naruto. I was happy, happy that you would do what you did for me without thinking about what you wanted, what other people wanted. And I am reminded daily what a wonderful person my husband is…" Satsuki paused, closing the distance between her and Naruto cupping his face lovingly. "And ever since that day thirteen years ago you had never thought of yourself, I know you had women who were attracted to you and those who would attract your attention over the years yet you stayed loyal to me. Even when I betrayed your trust you ran to my side and defended me when you had all the right in the world to throw our relationship away and leave me to my fate." She looked at Hanabi for a moment on the other side of the room, remembering the first time she realized that the twenty-one-year-old had feelings for Naruto and how antagonistic she was with her while frowning. "It's my turn to think about you for a change."

Without saying a word to Satsuki, Naruto looked at Hanabi sporting a flushed appearance, not sure if this was the right course of action. He had grown up thinking that he would have been with one woman for all of his life, and sure Satsuki was not his first option but speaking to the vestige of Uzumaki Kushina in the Kyuubi's seal he knew that she approved of the Uchiha despite wanting to find someone more like her, so he had no intention to act on that law that allowed him to have more than one wife and was caught off guard by the ambush. "Are you sure this is what you want? I am sure that you could get any guy you want, you don't have to settle for this. I want you to be happy... Hana..."

Hanabi retreated into herself, this is why she didn't want to tell him about Konohamaru, and this is why she never gave up on him. Namikaze-Senju Naruto was the only man for her, she knew it when she was twelve years old as much as she knew it now, and this was why she had agreed to it when Satsuki presented the possibility to her. She clutched at the first Hokage's necklace she received from the man himself she had Satsuki's blessing and she was not going to let this opportunity to be with him slide. "There's no one..." Her voice was low and soft.

"Excuse me?"

"There's no one else I would rather be with..."

"What if some..."

"No, no, NO!" Hanabi sounded genuinely scared of that outcome. She moved to Satsuki's side, taking Naruto's other cheek. "I will never love another man like I love you, Naru-nii... No Naruto." She looked deep into Naruto's eyes, still seeing conflict in them. "I don't care if I can't be with you without you having Sats-nee in your heart as well, as long as I am with you I don't care if I can't have you to myself. Cause there is no one else but Namikaze Naruto for me." She finished not breaking eye contact.

Naruto was in a whirlwind of emotions, he didn't know what to do. He had rejected similar advances in the past, and he knew that Satsuki would not co-sign this if she did not approve, but he still had reservations about this all. A soft sigh knocked him out of his thoughts. Satsuki's hand had traveled down to the nape of his neck pulling him down to match her height, with a light headbutt she connected their foreheads. "This has always been us, us against the world, Namikaze Naruto. I Namikaze Satsuki..." This was the first time she had referred to herself using the same family name. "... I Namikaze Satsuki had vowed to you that I would be at your side no matter what... No matter what form... And no matter how long... I vowed to you not at our wedding seven years ago, but thirteen years ago in that park that I would be your wife until death do us part. And yet you are the one that never wavered. And for that I love you..."

"Satsuki..."

Keeping their foreheads together, Satsuki continued. "That's why I want you to accept Hanabi, that's why I want to welcome Hanabi into our home... Naruto, you deserve happiness. You have suffered so much because of me... Because of this village. Let us make up for it, let me help you become the happiest man in Konoha. Let us be surrounded by the family you deserved." She gently pecked him on the lips. "I know this will be hard to accept but I hope you do because that's how much I care for you. What do you say?"

Naruto looked into Satsuki's eyes reflecting the same care her words had, he could not help being lost in them before turning his attention to Hanabi, looking at him expectedly. 'I guess there's no saying no to this one.' Naruto thought, closing his eyes. "You win..."

"You mean?" Hanabi's eyes lit up at Naruto's words.

"It can't be right away, because officially we have to bring this up at the next clan meeting but..." Before he could finish, Hanabi tackled both husband and wife to the ground.

"I'm so happy Naru-nii, Sats-nee..." The couple was taken aback when tears graced Hanabi's delicate face. "Thank you for letting me be a part of your family... I love you Naru-nii." Hanabi spoke on top of the pair, hugging them both tightly.

(...)

"Congratulations?" The voice of Hyuga Neji entered Naruto's ears as he was downing a Sake bottle, the pair were joined by Kiba and Rock Lee the next night on a night on the town. It was a kind of celebration or therapy session of sorts as Naruto was still apprehensive about the turn of events.

"Is it really?" Naruto spoke resting his head in his arms. "And are you sure you are okay with Hana being in that type of relationship?"

"I am probably the wrong person to ask..." Neji said, trying to comfort him about how his father-in-law was the twin brother to his father, making Hanabi both his sister-in-law and his cousin, having married Hinata for political reasons.

"Ah, I kind of forgot about you and Hina..." Naruto confirmed, closing his eyes.

"Well, at least you are not like you know who..." Kiba said, pointing at Rock Lee sleeping in the booth the four were in, hugging a bottle of alcohol. "You're going to need to take Tenten off his hands because clearly, he missed his shot."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Naruto grumbled, not willing to play Kiba's game. However, he would not back down if he would have had Kiba continue to poke at him.

"Would you like to have Ino join you and Sakura?" Neji jokes.

Kiba froze, he did not expect Neji to know about him and Sakura. He wondered how much the Hyuga knew. "You knew?"

"Hehehe... Haruno eh?" Naruto chuckled, rolling his head on the coolness of the table. He had no idea, then again it was on brand with how the women in their graduating year acted towards the opposite sex, if a guy wasn't being chicken shit about asking one of them out, they were promptly rejected with Naruto not knowing why. It seems that the Kono-Suna twelve were destined to pair off with each other, Kankuro and Shikamaru being the exceptions. With that said he could not help worrying over Temari, the Kazekage's temper reminded Naruto of the stories around his birth mother, and not wanting her to live a life of regret like Tsunade... But he will cross that bridge later... Hopefully not like Hanabi's. "Never thought she was your type."

"Can we forget about this?" Kiba questioned, clearly wanting a subject change. He feared how much Neji knew.

"We could, but I am curious to know if you had her accommodate your particular kinks or are you two not that far yet?" Neji slyly said.

Naruto perked up in his seat, interested in what Neji had hinted at. Given the traditions of the Inuzuka clan, Naruto could do no wrong in having his mind running. "Ooo... Please do tell." Naruto was at the edge of his seat, clear in his lack of information on the matter.

Kiba sighed it seemed both the male and female pairs of the Namikaze-Hyuga clans were completely rotten to the core. Especially these two, after the incident thirteen years ago Kiba would have preferred if Naruto continued to have a hate boner for Neji for what he did to Hinata during the Chunin exams instead of the brotherly relationship they have now. He would have preferred Choji or Shikamaru to be here, them being either supportive or indifferent to his choice in romance or what he likes in the bedroom. "How much do you know?" He questioned Neji, afraid of the amount. "And how much to keep you quiet." Neji just smiled at the attempted bribe.

"No fair, I need to know this."

"To each his own, what they do is not any of our business." Neji retorted, looking at Naruto's disappointed face he asked the young father a question. "How do you go about having a baby?" Successfully changing the subject, much to Kiba's relief, Kiba knows the hefty price he will have to pay one day.

Naruto looked at Neji like he had grown a second head. "Are you serious?"

"As serious as I can be, plus you know I can't ask others our age."

"There's Choji?"

"I mean Clan heads, we are the only ones our age."

Naruto blinked, not sure if he should make fun of him or give him genuine advice, so he defaulted on both. "In a word... Are you a virgin?"

"Of course not." Neji scoffed at the question, he and Hinata needed to be able to have some intimacy after all.

"Well you are halfway there, wine and dine her a little..." Naruto paused to stare at Kiba. "Inuzuka take notes..." He returned to Neji. "And when you get home don't pull out..." Naruto laughed when both Kiba and Neji narrowed their eyes at him. "But in all seriousness take your time, and make sure it's something you want to do. I trust you will always take care of Hina no matter what you decide and when. You were never the one to stand on clan business. If you were..." Naruto shrugged. "I would not have had to kick your ass to high heaven. And we could have been friends sooner."

"I doubt it." Neji replied.

"Get a room. you two." Kiba finally made himself known, not wanting any part of this family talk, clearly not ready himself.
