Welcome to Chapter 5 everyone. Here's what to expect from the following chapter. Back in my original story, people expressed that they felt Sakura had cut ties with Naruto, due to having negative views on Polygamous Relationships. Here they have also expressed that Sakura is being too self righteous, so I aim to show them reconciling here. I hope I was able to do it in a believable way.

Furthermore, I mentioned at the start of the story that there will be no intimate scenes in this story. While I intend to stick to that, there will be moments where they talk about their intimate life, as a way to help other characters understand the nature of their relationship. One could argue that Hinata would never talk about her intimate life. While I do believe that's true, for the sake of the story I've made it that her relationship with both Naruto and Hanabi has made her more willing to do so.

That's all from me. Enjoy.

The next few weeks were relatively calm for the Uzumaki family. Now that Naruto knew how far the Hyuga Elders we're willing to go, he decided to stay home until Hanabi could change her name. This worked well, as with him around no Hyuga dared attack. This had also done a lot to ward of further vandalization from other villagers. Hiashi also came over whenever he could. While his presence for security was unneeded, he wanted to make it clear to the entire village, that he was supporting his daughters and not the Hyuga Elders. This had also been beneficial, as even fewer Hyuga were lurking around Naruto's home. They knew that if the Clan Leader wasn't supporting the elders, this wasn't a task worth pursuing.

They had also managed to convince most of the village, that the rumours about Naruto using the power of the Nine Tail's to corrupt Hinata and Hanabi were false. Hiashi publicly announced to the village that the rumours were made up by the Hyuga Elders, to ensure Naruto got less support from the village. He also let the villages know, this wasn't a decision he supported and was actively helping defend his daughter. Tsunade also stepped in to confirm the corruption rumours were false, as she had examined both Hinata and Hanabi and saw no evidence that proved this. This had been enough to convince most of the village that Naruto hadn't forced the Hyuga Sisters to be his wives and that both were indeed in love with Naruto. There were however still a few that were sceptical. To make matters worse, much of the village were still repulsed by Naruto's actions. Regardless of all he'd done in the war, they were disgusted that he had decided to have two wives. Many still held the belief that Naruto let his accomplishments go to his head and he believed he was free to do whatever he wanted.

They felt this could cause a lot of damage to the village's reputation, especially considering Naruto was in line to be the next Hokage. How would others feel about their leader doing something as old fashioned as taking a second wife? Would it make them believe their leader was a tyrant and how would that reflect on the rest of the village? Because of this most of the village agreed they would never acknowledge Hanabi, as Naruto's wife and their child would not be legitimate either. It didn't take long for these facts to reach the Uzumaki Household. They knew they would face hardships going forward, but as long as they had each other, they knew they would be ok. They were just glad there were still some villagers who supported them.

Most of Naruto and Hinata's old academy friends, had come around to add extra security and were willing to help the family run errands, as neither Naruto or Hinata wanted to leave Hanabi. Although most of their friends were supporting them, that didn't mean they immediately accepted the situation. Sakura's best friend Ino had a similar opinion to Sakura, accusing Naruto of being a disgusting pervert who had betrayed Hinata. Thankfully, she calmed down once she heard Hinata's side of the story. Ino's husband Sai on the other hand was impressed by Naruto's ability to have two romantic partners, as this wasn't anything like the traditional relationships he had read about. Both of Hinata's old teammates had accepted the relationship was genuine when they heard Hinata's side of the story.

Shikamaru's teammate Choji didn't seem particularly bothered by the relationship and simply congratulated them. Finally, Tenten who was the former teammate of Neji and Lee had similar suspicions as Sakura and Ino, but didn't argue about it when she heard the full story. The only person who hadn't come around was Sakura. This surprised everyone, because as Naruto's former teammate and one of his closest friends, many felt she would be one of the first to support him, but she hadn't come to see them since she initially confronted Naruto.

Naruto just hoped she would come around, because he didn't want their friendship to end because of this. Thankfully, this day would come sooner than they thought.

At the Lee house, Rock Lee was getting ready to head to the Uzumaki home, as he had agreed to help with security that day. Sakura had a shift at the hospital and was coming out to say goodbye to Lee and Metal and was surprised to see Lee getting Metal ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Lord Hokage has asked me to help with security at Naruto's, since many others have had to go on missions," answered Lee.

"That's not compulsory you know, you don't have to go," stated Sakura.

"I know, but Naruto's my friend and I want to help," stated Lee.

"You can't be serious," stated Sakura. "How can you possibly support this?"

"As I said Sakura, its none of our business what Naruto does in his personal life. If he wants to have two wives, that's up to him," said Lee.

"But its disgusting and perverted," argued Sakura.

"Both Hinata and Hanabi are ok with this. I don't see the problem," countered Lee.

"The problem is Naruto cheated on his wife and he's having a child with another woman," spat Sakura.

"Again, they're all ok with this, meaning he didn't cheat," stated Lee.

"I don't believe that's true. Considering how obsessed with Naruto, Hinata was growing up I doubt she'd be willing to share Naruto with anyone. Especially, her own sister," argued Sakura.

"Please tell me you don't believe the rumours of him corrupting them?" asked Lee.

"Of course not. I don't think Naruto would go that far," answered Sakura.

"Then what do you believe exactly?" asked Lee.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Sakura. "Naruto obviously manipulated Hinata into thinking this is what she wants. We both know she would do anything for him, so I'm sure it was easy to manipulate her into letting him take a second partner, or he would leave her."

"Do you really think Naruto's that cruel?" asked Lee.

"No, but I do think he's a big enough pervert," answered Sakura.

"Sounds to me like you're only basing this off what you know about Naruto and not what you know about Hinata," argued Lee.

"No, I'm not," countered Sakura. "As I said I don't believe Hinata would want to share Naruto with anyone. He manipulated her into doing so."

"I do agree with some of that," stated Lee. "After Naruto and Hinata had gotten together, I believe she would've fought any woman who even dared to flirt with him, but you also have to remember how much Hinata loves her little sister. You were on the mission they went on to rescue Hanabi after she'd been kidnapped. You told me that Hinata was willing to betray Naruto if it meant she could save Hanabi. To me that says there is only one person Hinata cares about more then Naruto and that's Hanabi. I think it's safe to assume Hinata would do anything to make her happy. Including sharing the man she loves."

Sakura couldn't argue that Lee had a point. But she had another argument.

"Ok fine, maybe Hinata does love her sister so much that she's willing to share Naruto with her, but that doesn't mean Naruto had to say yes. I honestly think he only agreed to this, because it meant he could have two women in his life."

"And what's wrong with that?" asked Lee.

"What's wrong, is that I seriously doubt Naruto loves Hanabi the same way he loves Hinata. He was just happy to have another partner. In fact, I now doubt if Naruto even loves Hinata," stated Sakura.

"You act like someone can only have love in their heart for one person," stated Lee. "Some people get married more then once, whether it be through death or divorce. So, people clearly can have love in their heart for more than one person."

"Its not the same. In those instances, couples have stopped loving each other or one of them dies. Sure, someone can love someone after they've loved someone else, but how can you accept someone can love two people at the same time," argued Sakura.

"So, you're saying, we should only love one person at a time? In Naruto's case he can't say he loves Hanabi, while he loves and is with Hinata? Which should be the same for everyone?" asked Lee.

"Exactly," answered Sakura thinking Lee had come around.

The next question was difficult for Lee to ask, but he knew it had to be said.

"Then why did you marry me?"

This confused Sakura.

"What are you talking about, I married you because I love you."

"But I wasn't your first love. Some might argue I wasn't even your second," stated Lee.

"Ok yes, I loved Sasuke at one point, but when he was finally ready to give us a chance, I turned him down. And I did this because he had hurt me to much and I wanted to be with someone I could trust and rely on," stated Sakura. "That's why I fell in love with you, because I knew I could trust and rely on you to be a good husband."

"Naruto could've also been that," argued Lee.

"You know I never thought about Naruto that way," countered Sakura.

"Actually, I don't. You and he were always close, and you were the only girl he had eyes on for years," countered Lee.

Yes, he had a crush on me, but we were always just friends," countered Sakura.

"That doesn't change the fact that if you'd given him a chance he would've said yes, and he would've been just as an attentive husband as I am," argued Lee.

"Lee that is not fair, I chose you and married you because I knew you were the one I could love the most and who would love me the most," stated Sakura starting to cry.

"And I'm grateful for that truly, and I know Naruto and Sasuke weren't the only ones who admired you. You could've had any man of your choice, so I feel extremely lucky that I was the one you chose," said Lee calmly. "But that doesn't change the fact that I wasn't the first man you loved. As we know, I'm not one to hold a grudge, but I do sometimes wonder if marrying me and having Metal is just a consolation prize, because while I believe you when you say you and Naruto are just friends, I know a small part of you will always love Sasuke."

Sakura was speechless.

"Look I'm sorry I upset you, but I just felt I needed to put things in perspective. I don't want your friendship with Naruto and Hinata to be ruined because of this. You and I are proof that you can love more than one person in your lifetime. That's exactly what's happening with Naruto. Yes, Hinata was his first love and Hanabi's his second, but by some miracle he's able to love them both at the same time and they both love him. The three of them are happy with this arrangement, so who are we to judge?" asked Lee.

Sakura had no counterargument for this.

Lee knelt down and picked up Metal.

"Now I told Lord Hokage I'd help today and that's what I'm going to do. Metal can play with Boruto in the meantime," stated Lee. "And before you say something like, 'I don't want our son hanging around a family like that', he's going to eventually, because Boruto and Metal will be in the same class. I love you Sakura, but Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi have made their choice and they're happy with it. There's nothing we can do about it, so we might as well accept it."

Lee left the home leaving Sakura to think about what he said.

Most of the day was 'normal' for the Uzumaki family. Lee, Shikamaru and Sai had shown up to provide extra security and their children, along with Boruto were being supervised by the Uzumaki's. Although he knew he was being overprotective, Naruto refused to leave Hinata and Hanabi alone until the issue with the Hyuga Clan was resolved. Hinata and Hanabi didn't mind however, as it showed they truly did marry the best man in the Leaf Village. Anyone helping with security were also fine with this, because not only were their children being guarded by the strongest ninja in the village, but they also knew Hinata would provide quality childcare. They also couldn't deny it would give Hanabi plenty of practice for when her own child arrived.

Unknown to the Uzumaki, there would be an unexpected visitor that day. Thankfully, it wouldn't be a hostile one. They heard a knock on the door and Hinata stood up. Hinata had agreed to answer the door from now on, as it allowed Naruto to protect Hanabi.

She was surprised to open the door and see not just Lee but also Sakura. The latter of whom was looking very guilty.

"What's going on?" asked Hinata.

"Nothing bad I promise you," answered Lee. "Do you remember how Lady Fifth was going to give Hanabi her checkups until the mess with the Hyuga Clan was resolved?"

"Yes?" queried Hinata. "In fact, I think she was going to give Hanabi one today."

Sakura stepped forward.

"Lady Tsunade is unavailable today. She was going to reschedule, but I volunteered to give Hanabi a checkup. I know you probably don't want me in your home after the last incident, but if you'll let me, I'll happily check on how Hanabi's baby is doing."

To Sakura's surprise Hinata smiled.

"Of course Sakura, come on in," said Hinata gesturing inside. "But remember I'm not the one you need to convince."

Sakura was just happy Hinata was one of the most forgiving people in the village. She stepped inside and followed her into the living room.

"Sakura, what are you doing here?" asked Naruto who was surprised to see her.

"She's come to give Hanabi a check-up. And while we agreed to make all our decisions together, I think the choice to let her do this rests with Naruto and Hanabi," stated Hinata.

Sakura was fully prepared for both Naruto and Hanabi to kick her out.

"Naruto, about before I…"

"It's ok Sakura, I'm not mad at you," Naruto stated calmly.

"You're not?" asked Sakura.

"We knew people might not react positively to this, so we prepared for the worst!" explained Naruto. "In fact, I had a feeling you'd react the way you did, especially considering our history and my reputation as a pervert."

Sakura chucked at this.

"Well, let's just say someone helped me see things from a different perspective," said Sakura thinking of her husband.

"Glad to hear it, because I don't want our friendship to end because of this," stated Naruto.

"I don't think it should either," said Sakura.

"Either way, I'm fine with you giving Hanabi and our child a check-up. In fact, there's no one I'd trust more," stated Naruto. "But there's still one more person you need to convince."

Sakura looked at Hanabi who was looking sceptical.

"If Naruto and Big Sister trust you, then I will as well, but I'm warning you, if you do anything to harm my child there isn't a healer in the entire universe who will be able to fix what I do to you."

"If you say so," laughed Sakura.

"She's not kidding," warned Hinata. "I'd be careful if I were you."

"Noted," said Sakura a little more nervous.

Sakura then gave Hanabi her check-up and despite the lack of equipment, was able to use her skills as both a medical ninja and a doctor to see how Hanabi's baby was progressing.

"Well, both you and the baby are healthy, and the baby is progressing as normal," said Sakura.

"Good to hear," said Hanabi

"But if you want to know the gender, you'll have to wait till you can go to the hospital for a checkup," stated Sakura.

"We're fine with not knowing the gender, we want to keep it a surprise," confirmed Hanabi.

"That's fair," said Sakura.

"I just hope we haven't pulled you away from the hospital for too long," said Hinata.

"Actually, I asked for a personal day," stated Sakura. "My visit here was of my own choice. In fact, Hinata, I was actually hoping to talk to you."

"Sure, what about?" asked Hinata.

"Well, actually I was hoping to speak privately, would you mind if we went for a walk?" asked Sakura.

"I don't know Sakura, I don't want to leave Hanabi right now," stated Hinata.

"It's alright Hinata, Hanabi is more than safe with me," interjected Naruto. "And I think having a talk with Sakura might be good for all of us."

Lee had let Naruto know about the conversation he had had with Sakura that morning, especially with regards to how Lee thought Sakura wasn't considering Hinata's opinion on the matter. Because of this, Naruto was happy to let them talk privately.

"But what about the kids?" asked Hinata.

"I can't expect you to do all the childcare. I'm happy to watch them till you get back," answered Naruto.

"And it gives me plenty of practice," laughed Hanabi who had started playing with the children.

"Well, if your sure, but I'll still try to be back as quickly as possible," stated Hinata.

Sakura and Hinata left the house and began their walk around the Leaf Village. They walked in silence for a bit, as both felt awkward about starting the conversation they were about to have. Hinata then noticed a tea house and suggested they sit down to talk about everything. After they ordered some tea and dumplings, Sakura decided to cut to the chase.

"I think you know why I asked for a talk," stated Sakura.

"You want to ask about my relationship?" asked Hinata.

"Yes. It's come to my attention that I jumped to a negative conclusion based solely on my history with Naruto," stated Sakura. "And I haven't really taken your feelings into consideration."

"Like Naruto said, we all expected you to react that way," laughed Hinata.

"Do you all just have a negative view of me now?" asked Sakura.

"No, we just know what you're like," laughed Hinata.

"Still, I've realised that I didn't have the full story, and I acted poorly," said Sakura. "I know you already confirmed this the last time we spoke, but I think I just need to hear it again when we're alone. Is this really what you want?"

"It is, more than anything in the world," answered Hinata.

"But why? To say you were in love with Naruto growing up would be an understatement. You were obsessed with him, so it amazes me you'd want to share him with anyone," stated Sakura.

"In every other case that would be true, if I saw another woman even flirt with Naruto, I don't think I could be held responsible for my actions," laughed Hinata.

"They why did you make an exception for Hanabi?" asked Sakura.

"I think you already know the answer to that," answered Hinata.

"Lee did help me see logic to the situation. He reminded me of that mission we went on together to rescue Hanabi and the lengths you were willing to go to save her. Which included betraying Naruto. Lee also said that Hanabi might be the only person in the world you care about more than Naruto," stated Sakura.

"I wouldn't go that far," said Hinata. "Don't get me wrong, I love Naruto with all my heart, but there's a special bond between an older and younger sister that can be greater than anything, which includes the responsibility an older sister feels towards their younger sister."

"I guess that's something I can't understand as I'm an only child," sighed Sakura. "But I guess that means you'll do whatever it takes to make your sister happy."

"That's correct," confirmed Hinata. "Even before Naruto and I got together I suspected she liked him as well. Because I could see she looked at him the same way I did. In fact, after Naruto and I got engaged I could see a lot of sadness on her face, because she felt Naruto would never be hers. I think she hoped her feelings would fade, but they never did. In the end she was filled with guilt and felt the need to tell us the truth. So, one day she came to us and confessed she was in love with Naruto. To everyone's surprised I immediately invited her to join us."

"Without asking Naruto if he was ok with this?" asked Sakura.

"Yes, Naruto does express that he feels he had no say in the matter, but he wanted me to be happy, so he didn't fight it," stated Hinata. "He also admits there was no point in looking a gift horse in the mouth."

"That doesn't surprise me at all," sighed Sakura. "I'm also guessing Hanabi was overjoyed when you asked her to join you and Naruto."

"Overjoyed would be an understatement," laughed Hinata. "Especially considering she feared I would hate her, but she's my sister I could never hate her."

"And I'm guessing the rest is history?" asked Sakura.

"Pretty much. Hanabi moved in with us shortly after and not only did we both grow closer with Naruto, but we also grew closer as sisters," said Hinata.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you and Naruto still go ahead with your marriage, because from what I can see you're trying your best to treat everyone as equals?" asked Sakura.

"For a variety of reasons," stated Hinata. "Our wedding date was close when Hanabi confessed, and we feared people would become suspicious if we suddenly called it off. Hanabi also didn't want to ruin our special day, and we all agreed this could help keep our polygamous relationship a secret."

"Not much of a secret now," joked Sakura.

"Well again we feared how the village would react upon finding out," stated Hinata. "As you can see our fears were warranted."

"Yeah, can't say I blame you for keeping it a secret," laughed Sakura.

"If I'm honest though, I'm kind of glad the secrets out," admitted Hinata.

"Really? But it's caused you guys so much trouble," stated Sakura.

"I know, but I sometimes feel keeping it a secret prevented Hanabi from being an equal part of the relationship," said Hinata. "She even told me once that she often felt like a third wheel to Naruto and my relationship, but she didn't mind as being with Naruto made her happy."

"Is that why she had her own room in your house, to help keep the relationship a secret?" asked Sakura.

"That's correct, we also had special rules when it came to quality time as I was Naruto's legal spouse," admitted Hinata.

Sakura was surprised Hinata had been so open about her and Naruto's private time, as there would've been a time where Hinata would've fainted by just thinking of the topic. Sakura had a feeling she'd regret this, but she was now curious about how their relationship worked.

"What kind of rules? Did he spend three days with you and three days with Hanabi and he got you on the final day of the week?" asked Sakura.

"No, if Hanabi wanted to spend quality time with Naruto, I had to be there," answered Hinata.

"Wait, you mean you guys…"

"Yes, we all spent time together," interjected Hinata not wanting Sakura to finish her question.

"Isn't that awkward?" asked Sakura.

"It was at first, but we got used to it and we keep our minds on Naruto," stated Hinata.

"I'm guessing as his wife you still got alone time with him?" asked Sakura. "I mean you got pregnant a year ago."

"Yes, but I tried to limit the alone time to when Hanabi was away on missions so she wouldn't feel left out," confirmed Hinata.

"In fact, while I was pregnant with Boruto, we decided to amend the rules of solo quality time, because we knew Hanabi deserved alone time with Naruto as much as I did. If I was away, they could do whatever they wanted," stated Hinata. "I think Hanabi was glad when I returned to mission work after Boruto was born."

"I'm guessing that's how Hanabi ended up pregnant?" asked Sakura.

"I'd say so, because I went away on a mission for a few days and a few weeks after I got back, we discovered she was pregnant. I wasn't happy, as we wanted to avoid this to keep our relationship a secret, but I guess it was going to happen eventually. I think Hanabi also liked the idea of having Naruto's child, can't say I blamer her," said Hinata thinking about her own child with Naruto.

"And that's what led to you guys deciding to make your relationship public?" asked Sakura.

"Yes, because we knew it would only be a matter of time before people found out," confirmed Hinata. "I'm glad though, because it means no one has to keep their love a secret and I feel this has made Hanabi an equal in our relationship."

"And because of that, I'm guessing you now split your time with Naruto evenly?" asked Sakura.

"What do you mean?" asked Hinata.

"He spends three days with you, three days with Hanabi and you alternate Sundays," stated Sakura.

"No, we all share a bed now and we'll be turning Hanabi's room into a nursery for her child," Hinata clarified.

"Wait, so you mean all three of you…"

"Yes," interjected Hinata. "As I said we're all equals."

"You know what, I don't want to know anymore. I still think its gross," stated Sakura.

"You're the one who asked," stated Hinata.

"I didn't think you'd tell me, I thought you'd faint when being asked a question about your intimate life," said Sakura. "I knew you'd gotten more confident over the years, but I didn't think you'd be this confident."

Hinata chucked.

"Being with Naruto has allowed me to find confidence in myself I never thought I'd have, but I think inviting Hanabi to join us has allowed me to find even more confidence," said Hinata.

"Clearly," groaned Sakura.

Realising they'd gotten of track, Sakura decided to steer the conversation back to her initial question.

"So, do you think Hanabi's the only person you'd be willing to share Naruto with?" asked Sakura.

"Yes, Hanabi's my precious little sister and I want her to be happy. Being with Naruto makes her happy, so I'm more than happy for us to be a marriage of three. But to every other woman our Naruto is off limits," answered Hinata.

"How does Hanabi feel about all this?" asked Sakura.

"Admittedly, I think we'd both prefer to have Naruto to ourselves, but I think she's just happy she's allowed to be with and be loved by Naruto, especially considering he loved me first. We also know that given the circumstances, this is the best outcome we could ask for and we're both happy with that," answered Hinata.

"No offence Hinata, but I can't decide if you're the weirdest older sister in the world or the most considerate," stated Sakura.

"I can understand that, Hanabi herself feels I'm the greatest older sister ever for allowing this to happen," laughed Hinata.

"Can't imagine why," said Sakura sarcastically.

Now convinced that the relationship between Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi was genuine, they spent the rest of their time at the teahouse discussing other topics. When they were done, they headed back to the Uzumaki home. Sakura apologised to Naruto for her actions and admitted that she now believed their relationship was real. Naruto however admitted there was nothing to forgive, as he had never been angry at Sakura and was just glad, they were still friends. Sakura was starting to see why the three of them worked together so well, as they were arguably the most forgiving trio in the village. Sakura then asked if she could stay for the rest of the day. It meant she could spend time with her son, it added extra security, and she could help anyone in case they got hurt. Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi had no objections and reminded Sakura that she was always welcome in their home.

The day continued without much drama. Not a single Hyuga dared attack their home and aside from the needs of the children the day was stress free.

Come evening everyone was preparing to leave, when they heard a knock on the door. As before Hinata was the one who answered.

"Lord Sixth?" asked Hinata seeing Kakashi on the other side.

"Good evening Hinata, may I come in?" asked Kakashi. "I have good news."

"Of course," said Hinata gesturing him inside.

They headed back to the living room, where everyone else was present.

"Sensei, what's up?" asked Naruto.

"I have news. You would've heard about it by tomorrow, but I thought it was best I come deliver the news in person," answered Kakashi. "You should have no more trouble from the Hyuga Clan."

"You mean?" asked a hopeful Hanabi.

"Yes. Welcome to the Leaf Village. Hanabi Uzumaki," stated Kakashi.

Hanabi was nearly brought to tears of joy. While they knew their issues with the rest of the village weren't over, she was just glad that tomorrow she'd be able to walk through the village a free woman. Naruto and Hinata also hugged her, because now, they felt no one could say she wasn't a member of their family. In their eyes their family had gained a member and they would soon gain another in eight months. And now that none of them had to worry about an attack from the Hyuga Clan, they decided the next thing they would do was help Hiashi with the issues he was facing from the Hyuga Elders.

Thanks for reading. Please review and let me know what you think. All Feedback is greatly appreciated, especially if it helps me improve the story. I'm particularly proud of how I portrayed the reconciliation here, because while I believe Sakura would have things to say about Naruto being in a polygamous relationship, I feel she would come around upon hearing the full story and because she and Naruto have a long history.

If you think I'm wrong, feel free to let me know. See you next time.
