(Skip the chat between Sarada and Chouchou if you found it boring and too long to read it all.)

With Sarada and Chouchou

"Ne, Sarada. Isn't it a perfect day for us to relax, and have our beauty rest like we deserved to?"

The question came out from the mouth that still busied eating yakisoba buns, of the Akimichi heiress, Chouchou.

In the middle of noon, Sarada and Chouchou came to their usual spot in a sweets shop that they regullary have snacks after a tiring day with missions.

But they have a day-off today, so they decided to spent it on chatting what's on their mind for all the busier times they couldn't met.

It was like girls time for the two best friend, and it was.

They were talking about all the event that happens a few months ago, mainly about their adventure to find Sarada's father, and Chouchou's real 'parents'.

It was unnerving, over-emotional, and risky, but in the end the Uchiha family reunited at last, and Sarada was glad that her parents had cleared everything to her. All started from a mistake led by one of her Papa's former teammate.

She should had relized it sooner, to this day she's still feel guilt whenever she looks at her Mama.

And a few months ago after the Chunin Exam, she found out that she'll become a sister. Because Papa had informed her that Mama was pregnant.

It's been five months since then. Sarada had been a big support to her pregnant mother. Papa had been home more regularly, tending to her every moment. Eventhough Mama said it was alright, it all changed when they discovered that Sakura was having triplets.

Words spread wide to their friends and peers. The night there were cheers, hollers and congratulations. Never had she seen Papa so atonishly happy.

Their conversation was normal until Chouchou spoke something off-topic a bit but still concerned.

"How's that hunk of a dad of yours? Still out there venturing on the Unknowns? Must be tough for you."

Sarada almost choked on her black tea.

It's rare for her Papa to be at home, but today is one of those day when he'd visit and spend quality times with her and her Mama.

What Chouchou just asked made also wondering more about their married relationship.

How Mama and Papa can go through everything and still love each other? And she knew the answer clearly now.

That's because i'm exist. I'm the proof of their connection. The fruit of their bonding. The result of their love.

"Chouchou, don't tell me you got infactuated with my Papa the first time you'd seen him."

Sarada was sure her father wasn't known only for his skills, but also his looks. The red head she'd seen in one of her Papa's old picture, Karin or something looked happy when she was standing next to him.

She heard from auntie Ino that she herself used to had a crush on her father, and her Mama had to fight with her for his attention.

"But he's so utterly handsome, i can't help it. With his sharp gaze and cool attitude, any woman would fall for that. Your mother is one lucky lady."

Sarada smiled lightly at the remark, she knows well her Mama didn't love her Papa for his appearance (at first). She loves him for who he is. She'll always understand her Papa's love for Mama, eventhough she hadn't seen a single display of affection between her parents, yet.

Because she's so much like him, that sometimes her mother would gushingly recommended her as a daddy's girl. She was embarrased, yet she was proud of it, too.

It's really ironic, it took her a long time to know the connections in families are. And it took her only a day to know many reasons why her father loves her mother very much.

"Anyway, your father isn't the only good-looking one, your mother is as much as a beauty as he is.

Hah~ like a goddess to match with a god. You're the daughter of the most outstanding couple i've ever known.

Without those glasses, you'll be prettier than even me.

Boys would flocked around you like bees to flowers.

Mou~ i'm so jealous of you. Out of all parents, you got the best, and i'm not including Boruto's and Inojin's for that matter."

Sarada just raised her hands up defensively, not used to being complimented, especially when it's either about her or her parents, she was just being modest.

"It's not big of a deal, Chouchou. Besides, my Papa is home today.

He said he has a report with the Nanadaime and he has to train that Baka-Boruto again, since he was so persistent about it.

The dark-skinned girl nodded thoughtfully, chewwing on her third order of snacks she's called previously.

"Aren't you worried he would steal all of your father's time with you? You seem neglected about it."

Sarada shook her head. She may not had seen him since she's a toddle.

And his time in the village and with their family is limited until he finished his top secret mission.

But she respected his decisions, and Boruto has been a lot more serious in training, instead of finding shortcuts.

His clothes no longer neat and tidy, they're ripped and dirty, but it proved his efforts and spirits in following her father's footsteps instead of his own father's. Her Mama also agreed with it.

"Nah, Chouchou, Papa had already trained me our famous clan jutsu, the Great Fireball Jutsu. So it was also a way to bonding.

Thanks to him, Boruto also has a motivation to train hard now. It's a good way to help him improving."

Chouchou nodded again, swallowing her dandos. She then drinks her beverage and eats her buns, said to her friend absently.

"Speaking of your father, does he know about how many gifts and letters your mother had been recieved during his absence?"

The Uchiha heiress flinched a little, her pose stiffened at the information she'd been restored for most of her life.

During her Papa's absence, there's been rumors, gossips, bad words about both her Papa and Mama that she preferred not to speak out loud.

She sometimes also the talk of those villagers, she felt irritated back then, but not complaining much, since she's a reserved person.

But the thoughts of those gift baskets, chocolate boxes, flower boquets, they're infuriated her to no end.

Just imagine what her Papa would think if he ever found out Mama was being unwantedly courted behind his back. His reaction wouldn't be pleasant. What worse is what he would do once the info was transmitted to his ears.

He could go into a silent rampage, hunt down all the man who flirted or tried to pursue Mama, threat ruthless words directly to their faces, and she would gladly join in to avenge her purposely.

There's no way her Papa would let any of those man get away with it alive. She knows Papa is very possesive and overprotective of Mama sometimes.

"I mean, i wouldn't blame her.

Your Mama is such an eye catcher, she could have any man she wants. Eventhough over these few months with her pregnancy

Even auntie Ino is envious of how her hair so shiny compares to hers.

I'd feel bad if some crazy lady out there, tries to come face-to-face with Sakura ba-san and insults her. It would be insane."

Sarada paused her internal muderous plot with her Papa once he knows about men keeps giving Mama lecherous looks and wolf whistles.

No one dares bad mouth to the head Medic and the Godaime's disciple, unless they want an early death wish.

She used to hear stories anout Mama from auntie Ino about their childhood. Mama was a different person back then. She was shy, meek, quiet and an easy target for bullying. The reason was because of her insecurities, mainly about her forehead.

Sarada touched her fingers briefly to her own forehead. Now that she think about it, their foreheads are nearly identical to one another.

Papa had told her once that she got that trait from her mother. And that's one of the traits he loves the most. It's when he display the ultimate expression of love for only them.

Her Papa didn't know much about Mama's childhood, asides from a couple of times he caught sights of her spying on him, or her answering the hard questions in classes, or during the lunchbreaks.

But she remebered her Papa wore a visibly remorsal and saddened expression when he told that her Mama had confessed to him once, and he just asked who she was and ignored her.

Papa even sulked as if he had unintentionally committed a crime.

He was self-loathing when he had heard that Mama was bullied when she was young, and can't do anything to ease her pain and misery, cruelly brushed them as nothing important at all, just plain normal to him.

If her family has to stumble into them someday, both her and Papa, on Mama's behalf would beat them to dust if they intended to make fun of Mama
again. And it would be an unforgettable punishment.

"It's a surprise to think that Sakura ba-san was bullied in her childhood. You and me, both of us were also got bullied, too, remember?"

She remembered bitterly, both her and Chouchou had their respective bullies for their own personal reasons. Chouchou's being about her chubby state and her gluttonous appetite.

And hers being a nerd and fatherless. Not long when they promoted to Chunin, those bullies failed and unable to enter anymore.

Serves them right, i bet Mama's weren't even get to Genin, anyways. Who do they think they are, messing with people around, they should mind their own bussiness, if they can't get any dumber.

"You know, i'd heard from my mom that she used to hold a grudge against your cool Papa, from that she also disliked your Mama a bit ."

Chouchou decided to change the mood once more, sensing her friend's gloomy presence.

"Eh? Karui-san had a grudge on Papa once, and Mama was also involved?" This was new to her.

The Akimichi girl nodded her head while still eating her buns.

"Mmhm, i don't know clearly. But your father might had made a bad stunt on her old mentor from her village back then. And your mother may had the fight my momma picked which was to your father at first. Or so i thought."

Chouchou was silent for a moment, deep in her thoughts on the recentfully informations from her mother from her own father.

Then she smiles again in a playful gesture, waving her hand.

"But ironic, isn't it? We're best friends, and half-side of our parents used to hate one another. Yet we still get along well and held no tensions at all.

You wanna know why my momma didn't say anything bad to you when i invited you to come over?"

Sarada nodded, she also questioned why her friend's mother was so quiet upon seeing her when she first come to Chouchou's house.

Chouchou grin in a girlish smile while looking at her friend and said.

"Remember when we first met?

We saved each other from being bullied, and befriended each other. We shared snacks, we shared chats. You even remembered what's my favorite chips flavor was.

And you're one of the only girls who didn't make fun of my appearances.

After telling my momma on the day we met, she was mad at first. Then she felt relieved, because she knew you'd saved my life despite being her former enemy's daughter. She liked you for that. And so do i."

Sarada smiled, Mama didn't say any bad words when it comes to Karui-san, only a bad start between them at first.

She even told her that Karui-san had threatened the Nanadaime once.

"My pops had once told me that, he and your Papa had never interacting once. But he admired him for his charms with girls and wanted to be like him.

But he soon laught, remembering he had seen your Papa carried his bag filled with flowers without him even noticing then during Academy, refering to your father as a walking garden."

Sarada giggles at the funny story about her father from Chouchou.

The two laught at the cool Uchiha Sasuke used to have a bag full of flowers as a child, unawared of it.

The laughter stopped shortly afterwords. Sarada thought maybe she would ask her Papa later, about the flower bag tale she heard originally from Chouji-san. It would be fun for sure what his reactions would be.

As they chat daily things again, Sarada has more questions to ponder.

I wonder what's Papa doing now when he's in the village? Would he be at home, or at the Hokage tower to discuss his missions with the Nanadaime?

I know he'd said that he would visit us more regulary. But what does he do here apart from long-term duty outside the village, or this dimension?

What does Papa do when he has free time, bored and have nothing else to do? Report his missions? Training Boruto? Or training solo himself? Relax somewhere i don't know?

At home doing chores and errands? Preparing meals while Mama's at work? Maybe i'll never know.

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸

With Sasuke, the Uchiha Patriarch.

Speaking of which, Sasuke was also wondering what's he been doing in his free time, with nothing else to do.

Report mission were accomplished. Training Boruto til he's tired enough to whine, wanting to go home, because his mother wanted him to do houseworks, or clean his room.

Chores and errands at home had been done perfectly. Meals had been well-prepared.

All by his doing, in a whole half-day, no troubles at all. It was the least he could do, for all the things Sakura had done in the past 10 years taking care of their only child, and the whole time he hadn't been there with her.

And Sasuke had been questioning himself why was he doing here, in front of a bath house, with two of the team members from the Team Ten, Shikamaru and Chouji.

With his own teammates, Naruto and Sai. Along with Kiba, Shino, and surprisingly, Lee.

It was one of his rare days with enough spared time to get some shut eyes. Until the dobe got the ridiculous notion of having a man get-together.

And it had to be in the bath house, of all places.

He didn't know how the blonde idiot could convince his own advisor, an Academy teacher, a canine trainer, a Jonin reporter, another clan Patriarch, and an exam referee to have a day off? And spend it in a plain, simple, normal bath house.

Naruto grins at the men and said boisteriously like he always had.

"Alright, gang! Let's this be our first whole men get-together, since Sasuke's also here, too. Let's have a blast relaxing in the hot spring on our day-off like we deserve to, dattebayo."

Most of the men cheers, particulary Kiba, Chouji and Lee would.

Sasuke just stared dumbfoundly at Naruto, like he had grown another mouth. And a big one for sure.

In the men side of the hot spring area, the shinobis were enjoy their most from the tough day off duty. It had been Naruto who suggest it.

He had a clone to do his paperworks while he could go out freely.

Thankfully, Shikamaru had also left a clone of his to assists Naruto's so it wouldn't be a huge mess.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Kiba were sitting on short wooden chairs to wash their bare torso, and their hair.

The rest were relaxing in big hot spring tub. Akamaru was on the other side opposite to the three men washing himself with his kit, Akemaru.

It was peaceful with some occasionally casual chats, mostly from Naruto and some others.

Since the last war, many facilities had been improved to fit their conditions. The whole room with a random topic was normal.

Until Naruto had to brought it out.

"So Sasuke, anything going on between you and Sakura-chan lately? I should have a right to know, since i'm your teammate, remember?"

Naruto grins playfully, with a tone of a reasonable seeker who wants to be nosy about personal informations.

Sasuke ignores him and continues washing his wet hair with his sole arm.

What Naruto asked piped the sudden interest to the rest of the men in the tub. They also want to know if there's something going on related to the Uchiha couple.

"Aww, c'mon, Teme. Out of every married couple i see, i didn't get to see you guys being lovey-dovey at all.

H*ck none of us knew when and where you guys had married. It's unfair, you know."

"Hn." Sasuke still ignores him.

Naruto pouted grumpily and retorts. He pretends to splash some of the water from his bucket toward the Uchiha Patriarch, but Sasuke manages to dodge it effortlessly.

"Argh, what would it make you to speak?! Do you even like this when you around either your own wife, Sakura-chan or your own daughter, Sarada-chan?

Because it's very unacceptable, 'ttebayo!"

"Hn, Dobe. None of you here will ever know what the connection between Sakura and i is. It's confidential."

"You act like you're the only man in Sakura's life, Sasuke. Well, you aren't. Because each of us here had at least interacted with her long before you do."

Sasuke looks past Naruto forward to see Kiba was the person to spoke out.

He arches an eyebrow in question.

"You maybe Sakura's first and only love, but that doedn't mean you're the only one here with a first love on her. Besides Naruto and Lee, us men in Konoha 12 had used to have a crush on Sakura before we all settled down."

Sasuke blinked once, his exposed brow furrowed in confusion. If this was a joke, he wouldn't buy it.

"Like i'd believe it, Inuzuka."

Kiba since war, was still the most wary and supicious to the Uchiha patrarch.

The reason was particular stemmed from his dislike to the prodigy since their Genin days.

"Oh yeah? Want to know one of the reason why i dispised you back then? Sakura was my first crush. She liked Akamaru and never acted like any other girl. She has the spunk and the boldness, and i'd liked it. We once had a flirty conversation together during recess a year before graduation day.

Even with that, she was still pining for you back then. I was so p*ssed.

During the time you were gone away. I'd tried to asked her out multiple times. But she kept denied it, in a polite way.

That just made me angrier at you."

Sasuke's eye widened slightly. He knew Sakura was well-loved. But other than Naruto or Lee, he didn't know anyone else that had liked her more than a friend. Least in their group.

Surprisingly, Shino also confessed, after his former teammate.

"Yes, i also once held an affectionate fondness for Sakura-san back then. She may frightened at the sight of my bugs, at first. Then she got used to them, and treated them with the same gentleness like with her patients whenever they have problems.

I admired her kindness to even small creatures such as insects that were dear to me."

He admitted, cheeks flushed a little.

Naruto was baffled by the Aburame instructor's confession. So is Sasuke.

"Sakura huh? She's maybe a bit crazy over her infactuation for Sasuke. But i saw her as a formidable partner in shoji. And her wide intelligence is outstanding more than anyone i know. I liked her fierceness. Not like Temari's, but still close enough. She was troublesome when it comes to Sasuke. But she's okay, i guess.

I mean, she is  the only woman to knows Sasuke well."

Shikamaru idly spoke while laying down the water more until it reached to his collar bone. He has his arms crossed behind his head, his eyes were closed.

Sasuke starts to think that his wife was secretly a main attraction to other boys when they were young.

Chouji also had his part in this.

"Sakura had once cooked for me during a contest against Ino. If it weren't for my minor disease interupted back then, maybe i'd had said that she's a better cooker. Don't tell Ino that, though.

Sakura's nice and she could be a bit commanding. But she's still kind to let me eat all of the dishes she saved for me. It's very thoughtful of her.

I even thought that we may had made a great couple, a silly reason was that our surnames were related to seasons."

Now Sasuke thinks this was getting ridiculous.

How come he'd never noticed of it once? Was it so obvious? And does Sakura know of it? He hoped not. Lee's expression was saddened a bit, that's when he says.

"Neji... He did like Sakura at some point.

Something about despite her fate, Sakura-san still has hope and believes in the good and also the bad.

I'd known it for a while, but i didn't hold grudges against him. He's my teammate, and i wouldn't mind at all if he's with Sakura, had he been alive.

But then i'd kept having suspision that he and Tenten was an item before."

Sasuke's visible pupil shrunken a little as his eye widened to the fullest. He didn't react to the last information though.

Neji too?! Is he kidding him?

So all the males in the Konoha 11 used to have a crush on his wife?

Naruto gives a long whistle at the confession. Lee said again, but this time it was about the past.

"For my reason, i fell in love with Sakura-san when we were kids. But i never once confessed to her until the Chunin exams."

The other men minus himself, Sasuke, Naruto were surprised.

"Is that so? I didn't know."

"So you were in love with her? I'd never noticed."

"That's very surprising, considering that we didn't met you til later."

Something clikced in Naruto's mind.

"Oh yeah, that brings back memories, dattebayo. But there's one thing i didn't know or didn't get it. How come you know Sakura-chan's name when you hadn't even talked to her once back then?

I thought you were trained in a different area since you're older than us by a year?"

Sasuke was also curious about it.

"Well, it happened when we were five, or six.

I was working on my taijutsu in a forest which located near the Academy's playard. Then i noticed someone ran toward one of the trees near my training spot.

I heard loud thumpings like someone was praticing, by punching using the tree as a training partner.

Neither of us noticed the other's precense so i carefully approached to the sound. That was then i saw Sakura-san furiously using her fists to punch agaisnt a huge tree. I was in love at first sight.

She was so determined. So energetic, so confindent. Like an angel.

Her chakra flares brightly like a burning star in the light of the sunset. I swore i could even feel her spirit arose when her power was boosted.

From that moment, i would forever devoted to her. I'll always protect her from afar, even when she needn't it."

The other men were in awe at what Lee just said. But Naruto relized something else. A long distant memory.

"Wait, you said you first seen her when she was punching a tree?!"

The Uchiha man didn't know what he's up to now.

"Yes?" Lee spoke confusedly.

"That was when i fell in love at first sight with her too, dattebayo!"

Sasuke's eyebrow rose high to the line of his hair. His eye widened again. So are the other men.

The bushy-browed man was speechless, didn't know what to say.

"It was sunset, and i was standing in the hall at the Academy. Then i saw Sakura-chan dashing through me, rambling somthing without a second thought directly to the playard.

I was wondering why she was in a hurry, so i followed her. Then i spotted her punching a tree like it has provoked her mad.

Before my eyes, i'd never seen anyone that cute while they were angry.

Until i met Sakura-chan. Her monstrous strength, it frightened me yet amazed me at the same time.

She even punched me hard on the chest when i was too close to her. I was knocked down the ground and could only stared at her as she continue praticing on the tree."

So now Sasuke knows the first reason why his friend had a crush on Sakura.

"Naruto, exactly what did you hear her saying when she was passing by you?"

The blond Hokage turns to him. He scratches his head to remember. Then he clickes his fingers as he relized.

"I remember. Thanks to my keen hearing, i know what Sakura-chan had said. She said something about "he doesn't even know me" and "he refused my silly confession just because of that" and "had to make him acknowledges me", that's it.

Why do you ask, teme?"

Sasuke recalls that he and Sakura had a short conversation, if that was even one when they were in the Academy.

She'd confessed to him through her sputtering. Then he rudely asked who she was. Afterwards she ran off frantically. He relized something may not important yet it concerned.

But Naruto beat him to it. By saying it out loud for everyone to know.

"Hey, you were there, Sasuke... And Sakura-chan was running out from the classroom you were in... There was no one else in there.

Were you the one rejected her?!"

All eyes directed to the raven haired man. Too embarrassed with nothing to hide his face, Sasuke nods his head.

"So does that mean, the moment Naruto-kun and i saw Sakura-san and fell for her at the same time that day, was because you rejected her?"

Someone whistles at the statement.

"That's what i call 'hit two dorks' hearts with a jerk's word'."

Kiba made a comment dryly. Naruto shouts a furious "Hey!" while shaking his fist, ready to aim at the dog trainer. Then the two began to argue. Their place was splashed by water from the brawl.

Shikamaru signs in agreement with Kiba's earlier comment.

"What a drag back then."

Everyone else had their own opinions on this. Sasuke lowers his head down in shame, ignoring the constant splashing beside him, or the water splashed directly to his face.

He didn't want to hear it ever again. He was the cause for Sakura to gained two idiots for former admirers. And for him, two somewhat, so-called, self-imposed former rivals in love.

Then Naruto had to say something else to rub salt on his wound.

"Other than that, i'd never seen you interacted with Sakura-chan much. I'd been with her through most of our childhood, don't you know?"

He grunts in reply, not liking the fact.

"There wad one time me and her, along with Kiba and team 10 try to rescue a boy named Yota."

"Yota?" Sasuke questioned, never heard of the unfamiliar name before.

"Yeah, he's one of Orochimaru's experients, a boy who had the ability to control the weather. If i remember correctly, he also had a crush on Sakura-chan back then."

Chouji remembers it, so did Shikamaru.

Besides Sasuke, the only ones who didn't heard of it were Shino, Sai and Lee.

They feel like they've been left out on some of the things. especially Shino who was used to being forgotten temporarily when it comes to problems.

Kiba snaps his finger, remembering of that time when he encountered that boy.

"Oh yeah, we met him at that tree house in the forest. Man it was fun whenever with him around."

Chouji chimes in while chuckling at remembering a particular memory involved Sasuke.

"I can't still get over the fact that he managed to put Ino's flowers into Sasuke's bag without him noticing. The sight of the cool prodigy carrying the flower bag in the public like a garden seller was just too hilarious!"

Naruto and Kiba let out howls of laughter upon being reminded.

Shikamaru chuckles out loud along with his former teammate at his statement. Sai's lips quirked up a bit in amusement. Shino snorts out a little. Lee laughs a little at this new info.

Even Akamaru and his kit were snickering.

"So it was him?! He was the culpit?!"

Sasuke shot up in bewilderment. A flashback of him coming home to see a bunch of pink flowers inside his bag. He'd thought it was some affectionate prank from the Yamanaka.

His mother had giggled while his brother smirked at him.

His father did grin in amusement once.

Face flushed red in ambarresment, Sasuke grumbles at being the laughing stock by a humiliating memory. What's more shameful is that Sakura had been there to witness it.

And she had probably laughed along with them at the stupid sight he had uncosiously displayed for them to see.

To make it worse, his dobe of a best friend has to add one other particular memory when they were Genin. Another moment when he was at his most embarrased state when it comes to Sakura.

"Hey, did you know, there was this other funny moment about Teme.

It happened when team 7 went on their very first C-rank mission in the Land of Waves!"

Sasuke shot him an accusing glare.

"He asked me first once during our tree-climbing training. That was the fisrt i heard him questioning anything.

And it was about Sakura-chan! Unbelivable, -ttebayo!

He asked me what tips Sakura-chan had given me through whispering then. I was shocked at first and you know what i had said?!"

Most of them leaned on for his answer.

"Naruto..." The Uchiha patriarch gives him a low warning growl.

"I said 'i'm not telling you' in a cool way. His reaction was so priceless that i'd tried so hard not to laugh out loud to further irks him out of his shocked state, -ttebayo!

The first time he asked somthing about Sakura-chan and i'd totally snuffed him out completely!"

The men side of the bath house was filled with howling laughters again.

That was the last straw!

Sasuke uses his only hand to strangle Naruto's neck while he's still laughing. It resulted a hand wrestling, neck locking battle between them while others still enjoy the given infomation.

During his death chokes, Naruto keeps sputtering embarrasing things about his best friend.

"Ha ha, not only that i get to witness their very first kiss front row right on a motorbike! You should have seen his face that time. Who would have thought that Sasuke could pull a face as red as a tomato, -ttebayo?!

During a mission when they were both on a mission respectively to find cures for my disease. I get to know the juicy part that Sasuke had made Sakura-chan a ring. Because i know that teme was getting jealous over Sakura receiving many praises from men there.

It was so funny, -ttebayo!"

Sasuke has just dunk the blond man into the water out of anger.

That starts another brawling all the while chuckling was heard.

After having their stomachs hurt for laughing too much, Naruto wiped his tears as he changed the topic.

"By the way Shino, is it true that Iruka-sensei would celebrate a reunion for the senior Academy classmates this tonight? Man, i can't wait for all our other classmates to gather so they could realized how awsome i'd become, -ttebayo!"

"You mean how awsome i'd become?"

Another brawl happens between the blond man and the brutenette.

"Yes, Naruto. The headmaster wants his old students to reunite once more. And it would be a pleasure to have all of them attend on time. Especially since Sasuke's here too."

"Hm, now i think about it, we haven't thought much about those days while in Academy.

And i'm not sure whether they would thought of Sasuke the same."

As they talking about their times during the Ninja Academy, the Uchiha thought back about his time back then. He didn't want to remember much since there was only the loud noises of chattering and shrieking.

Besides the lessons and the dreadful avoidance from the crazy fangirls, he also had fights with Naruto.

About Sakura, he didn't interact with her much. He was still guilty when he had thought that she had a normal childhood at first.

At a time the Yamanaka had told him that she had to defend Sakura from mean girls for bullying her. It was her forehead that made his wife the target for brutal teasing of the rest of the classmates that wasn't part of the Rookie 9.

From that info, he didn't know what else that had occured to her before they was formed a team.

Because he disn't want anything to do with anyome else that wasn't from his clan, like he had intially. It may sound rude but most of Uchihas would had done the same.

What matters to them only.

Because they has nothing to do with him. What mattered to him that time was his family.

But ever since war, Sasuke found himself getting to know more about the rest through Naruto. And the blond always update him daily news about Sakura.

And it was inconsiderate of him, to act so selfish when he was merely a teen. Not a single time thinking more than a few seconds about what the pinkette has been through while he was gone. After they married on the road of their journey, Sasuke would observe every little thing that concerns her doing.

It was his way of getting to know her more, when she was no longer that twelve year-old fan girl. The only memories of her growing stronger in his eyes before his desertion. It was like she turned into a whole new person.

To him, Sakura was an open book, that's a fact.

But there was also time, even he couldn't see what she's hiding or thinking, as if she was a shut book.

It was in the bad times, when Sarada was out for training, he'd confront her.

She wouldn't speak a word to him at all. And that upsets him a lot. Some nights Sasuke had to sleep in an empty bed, with cold sheets, clutching her pillow to him tightly to make up for the lack of warmth due to her absence.

The others times would be when he realized that he didn't know any minor things about her.

Like one time before her birthday when Sarada was just a baby.

That Yamanaka was there.

Sasuke's flashback.

When he was home, with a family. Nothing to worry at the moment.

Sakura was out buying groceries so he was home alone with little Sarada. The baby was sleeping peacefully on the playmat beside him.

On a sunny day in the middle of spring, the Uchiha Patriarch was contented to relax. Drinking tea while reading newspaper with his sleeping daughter nearby at his reach, there was nothing that could disturb the tranquility.

A number of quick knocks were heard, almost disturbed Sarada from her sleep.

Patting lightly on her stomach, Sasuke signed as he stood up from his sitting pose to face the person who had intruded his time.

The knocking was still there.

It was smaller than the dobe's so he knew who was behind the door. And his guess was corrected.

It was the Yamanaka heiress, his wife's best friend.

"Took you long enough. Can't you see i was trying to hold this giantic bouquet of daffodils?" She complainted as she motioned to the not to big, yet not so small bunch of daffodils.

"You're a kunoichi, you should know how to lift those weightlessly." Sasuke replied back with a flat tone.

Ino huffed while barging in pass him.

"Excuse me if i'm not as strong as your wife. Speaking of Forehead, where is she? Is Sarada here or with her? I want to see her."

The blond was just as loud-mouth as Naruto. Those two are so alike.

"If you meant Sakura, then she was out bying groceries. Sarada was napping until you nearly disturbed her awake."

Sasuke closed the door as he trotted in to see Ino placing the boquet in a pot, cooing at his still sleeping daughter. He didn't like being in the same space as Ino more than a second.

Sakura could handle her easier.

"Hello Sarada, is your auntie Ino. If you want to comeby my shop again, pursue your Mama to do so for me, okay? Such a cute little angel."

Sasuke was annoyed that the blond woman invaded his space for too long.

"Aren't you suppose to leave now?"

Ino glanced up at him in mild irritation. She rose from her crouching position near Sarada, crossing her arms across her chest as if he offended her. Sasuke was unfazed by her.

"Not so fast mister. I'm not leaving until my best friend's party was settled.

And i'm sure that it won't go well enough if it was left in your care. Sakura doesn't need to be affected by you at all."

Sasuke clicked his tounge in annoyance. He put his hand on his hip as he grunts out his thought.

"What's wrong if i was one to give Sakura a party? Besides it wasn't until a few days later. I still have to deal with dobe jabbing me countlessly on attending his son's first birthday. Not to mention Sarada's."

"Talkative aren't we? when it comes to Sakura, you just had to voice it all.

If i may ask, Sasuke-kun, do you know her as much as me, hmm? If so, tell me something about her that i had yet to know."

Ino taunted him in a challenging tone, with that sadistic smirk on her face. The Uchiha man racked thtough his brain.

"I know she's bad at lieing."

"Snore... we all know that. That's one of those major spectrum about her.

Something else you may never noticed of.
Like i don't know, her secrets perhaps? Or is there anything that you still didn't fully understand about her?"

Sitting on the couch after lifting Sarada off to cradle her, Sasuke pondered. Was there anything about Sakura that he didn't know? He was sure that after years he should. He has to. She understands him more than himself.

So was it bad to not know her as much as she knows him?

"I'm not saying that she hides something bad from you. Just curious if you ever noticed her forehead a tad bit abnormal?"

"Never before."

Ino made a face of disbelief. The raven haired man answer it so casually, like he sees everything about Sakura is normal.

And it's true.

"Seriously, not once?! I thought you'd saw it as huge or weird."

"There's nothing wrong with Sakura's forehead. For the record, a bigger forehead means it houses a larger brain inside. And Sakura's one of the smartest i'd ever known."

"Psh, touche. But that's not the only reason. Do you know she has a second mind?"

Sasuke snaps his head to her. A second mind?

"How did you know that? Did you invade her mind at one time or something?"

"Yeah, i did. You weren't there back when the second part of the Chunin Exam take place. Because i got the chance to look inside my best friend's mind for once. And that was definitely the last time i'd want to be there.

That girl's brain is undescibable."

Staring down at Sarada for a moment, Sasuke looks up again.

"So was there anything Sakura hadn't told me?" He asks. He just need to know if he still had the advantages of knowing his wife as much as she did.

"Well, there was one time when Naruto was chased down by ANBUs for being a suspect of the chakra virus. The reason was because Tsunade-sama thought he had infected Sakura with it. Turns out Sakura was allergic to the bell gingers Naruto had eaten that day.

I didn't know she has an allergy. Who knows what could go wrong without knowing it?"

Sasuke's eyes widened again. Sakura was allergic to something?

He relized that maybe he hadn't tried his best to understand Sakura as much as Ino had. He felt slightly ashamed and irritated. Then Ino said something that mad him recoils in surprise.

"And to think her first kiss was with Naruto. But then again it was out of  a desperate situation to save his life."

He heaved a sign of relief. He couldn't take another heart attack that Yamanaka kept throeing at him with Sakura's secrets that he had yet to know.

"I mean, Sakura is an eye catcher, Kizashi-san said to me that he was tired of keeping all the suitors from all over nations out. Also with the gifts piling in his house."

That was the last straw.

"Get out!" He grunts in a low voice. Ino looks to him.

"What's the matter? Tired of my presence here? Or is it that the thought of me knowing Sakura more than you upsetting you that much?"

That taunting voice again.

"No, i can do this on my own. You needn't be here."

Ino has this wide smile that makes him irked. As if she was here to mess with him about Sakura's life.

"Fine, but so you know here's something to make you feel better."

She tossed a magazine on the coffee table. It has the colorful label words read 'How well you know your wife?'

He stares at it blankly then looks at her.

"Hey, it's the least i could do after finding that Sakura's own husband doen't kniw much about her as he thought. Well, i'm off now, send my greetings to Forehead, ta-ta."

As she exited his home, leaving a doubtful feeling inside his chest. Did he know Sakura so little compared to the rest of their friends, more specifically Ino or Naruto?

What's this painfully familiar feeling?

Sarada was still napping, but her soothing sound couldn't calm his troubled emotion.

Sasuke snaps out of his thought after the flashback as he walks back to his home. It's true that with him leaving periodly, from when he was a rouge nin to now, he would miss out vital moments in the village.

The magazine, he's immediately tried when Sarada was still napping. But the results were lower than he hoped, to his disappointment. He tried again and again but it isn't getting any higher his expectation.

It was futile to try on such a silly piece of paper, but he couldn't shake away the feeling of being so left out on his wife's life.

He'd hid the magazine from his wife since then, not wanting her to know of his low knowledge on every aspect of her life.

It was nearly evening now, and he had a few hours before the reunion.

Sakura must be doing her shifts at the hospital. A month later and she will have to rest for her maternity leave.

Sasuke has a small smile as an image of Sakura chatting gently to their babies sleeping inside her womb apperes in his mind. In four months they'll have one more girl and two new boys to love. Three new additions in the revived Uchiha clan.

His wife has spoken to him about naming them names similar to his late parents and brother.

At first he didn't want their children to be burdened with names of his deceased family. But he still wanted them to have some connection to his father, mother and brother.

The night they were conceived is when Sakura spoke to him more about her past and everything they when through.

Another of Sasuke's flashback.

At night, the couple was laying on their bed. It was after the battle with Momoshiki went successfully and everyone went home to rest.

There was something bothered his wife, Sasuke noticed.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

"Huh?!" Caught off-guarded, Sakura looks up to her husband in question. She couldn't hide her eyes away from him. No matter how hard she tries, he can still see through her easily.

"You know about the Academy reunion that Naruto had told from Iruka-sensei?"

"Aa, the dobe had informed me during one of my visits a few days ago. But i didn't want to attend.

What's the problem?"

Sakura looks up at him directly, and he immediatly recognized the trobled look plastered on her worrysome face. He pulls her closer to comfort her.

"You know that before Ino came into the picture, i was just a shy and meek little girl? My forehead was always the subject for bullying by the rest of the class that wasn't our friends back then."

Sasuke recalled seeing her several times. His wife used to have her hairbangs covering her pretty eyes, hiding away her cute face from the world to see.

That was the reason for her insecurity.

He was enraged by the thought of those insolent brats that had picked on her cruelly.

There's nothing wrong with it. I don't think it's big nor ugly. I'll prove it. You're nothing those scums had said back then. You're more than what they could believed to be."

He swiftly kissed her forehead multiple times, mostly on her rhombus seal.

"S-Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura was flustered that her husband was repeatedly pressing his lips on her brow. His hold on her was tight she could barely move, due to the shocking sensation of having his warm mouth on her most hated feature.

"Your forehead is one of those features that i loved about you."

The pinkette feels her face heated more by his confession. The target of those girls' mean teasing was yet her husband's most favorite traits about her.

Suddenly she feels his kisses move down to her eyes, then her cheeks, now nearly approach to her lips.

"W-Wait, Sasu---"

She was cut of when the raven-haired man's mouth crashing onto her into a hot lip-lock. Her temperature may increased if they keep getting this.

Soon, they broke their kiss, a thin line of saliva attatching their lips.

"I don't care what those people had said about you, Sakura. But they meant nothing to me at all.

They're blind to realize how breathtaking you look right now."

He then made advences on her as he took her (his) black shirt off. That was the only article she wore, accompanied by her lace panties. With him leaving his torso bare and black pants to clad on.

Soon, both of their clothes, or what lacked off were tossed on the floor carelessly.

The Uchiha couple were drawn into a flurry of passionate dance. Limbs tangled, tongues twisted, and hands entertwinded into each other's hair or other parts.

It was a good thing that in rare moments, Sarada didn't hear the loud noises from her parents's room. Otherwise it may kept her awake.

Sasuke took every chances to assault on every part of his wife's delicious torso. watching attentively every reaction form on her beautiful face. There wasn't a day he didn't think her anyless gorgeous than now.

It was like she was getting more and more beauteous as she ages. Like a goddess.

How can she manages to pull off such a shy innoccent look, and yet still has this alluringly seductive touch that turns him on effortlessly?

He'd always thought she attractive since Academy days. He just didn't express it. Even when they were Genin, he was entranced by her beauty that Kakashi had may or may not noticed.

He better not noticed it.

Her pink hair is soft to the touch and as silky as lace. He thought he's imagined it has a glow even in the dark like a halo when sunset takes place. He even has a dirty dream of how her hair would feel like warpjng around his length. He buried his face in her hair just to smell her unique scent that makes her Sakura.

"There's no rumor that i liked long hair, but if there was, i'd prefer your hairdo."

Her green eyes are the only eyes he'd glady lost into. Those deep expressive pools of emerald gemstones have the spell to see through his barriers. She rarely ever closed them when they connected since she knows he would always search for them even in the afterglow.

"Everytime you glance at me, it's like you can easily see through me with just one look alone."

Her soft full lips they utter the sweet voice of a goddess that he can't never get so lucky to hear. His name is the only thing she would speak in all volumes when they reach their high. And it was music for only his ears to capture.

"I'd never get tired of hearing your voice. I thought it used to be annoying, but i'd rather have that way to be greeted by silence all the time."

The same lips he's nipping til' they're red.

Her skin is smooth and also emits a somekind of seraphic musk that only comes from her. His mouth salivated as he uses his mouth to mark it. Sucking and biting hard all the while licking and kissing in between. The white, milky skin that was now blemished with many of his love bites that he had planted on her as he made his way downward.

"To this day, i can't still believe that you're mine. No matter what reason i give you to hate me, you'll always love me. And i'd kept wishing that this wasn't just a genjutsu."

Her breasts, to her may small, but to him they were perky yet succulent. He could still lay on they to hear the soothing sound of her hearbeats. His teeth pinched onto her nipples playfully and he suckled them hard. In response, she squeaks an adorable yip.

"Those people may had said bad things to you in the past, but i think otherwise. You're everything a man would want, need to be with. And i'm lucky enough to have you all to myself."

He smirks slightly, but she didn't see it as he paid attention to her stomach. There was the scar she had received during her battle with Sasori the puppeteer. He kissed it softly to make her at ease. The stretch mark from pregnancy didn't make her anyless perfect to him. The place where will soon house their future children. He couldn't wait for more to come. He always likes a big family.

Now came to the most sacred part.

He can still remember vividly all the times he had tasted her down there like a starved man. He hated sweets, but she was his only exception. He'd thrusted his tounge, his fingers and lastly his member into it many times and it would feel like the first time.

He pinched the bud there, he sniffed the arouma and bit her inner thigns.  He even licked from the base of her thigns to the top of her feet, worshipping her.

"Sa-ssu-ke-kun!"

"Ssh. Don't fret. This is for you, my sweet Tsuma. I'm doing this for you only."

When fore play wasn't enough, they both had reached their limits.

When he entered her in one swift move, they both groaned as if this was still like their first time.

"Don't even bother what those people say. Even if we weren't in the same team or from different places, destiny will always draw our paths cross to each other. I'll find you, even if it takes me forever or recarnations to."

Even at their early thirties, their souls and their feelings will still at the stage of thirteen. The kind of love that burning bright and never fade.

He buried his face into her neck, Susanoo hand holding her close, other hand rubbing her sensuoslly.

She screams as their orgasm reached their height and he collasped on her. His seed spurted deep inside her womb. It was the feeling of being filled again and again yet it was still new to them.

"I love you, my tsuma."

The familiar forehead poke rose her up from her hazy thoughts.

They embraced each other tightly that night. On Sasuke's part however, he hugs her tighter than usual, as if afraid to let her go. That was a night three new miracles were conceived.

Sasuke snaps out of his second flashback with almost a hard-on upon remembering those vivid details.

He would arrive to the hospital to pick up Sakura safely to the Academy. Naruto talked him into going anyway. And besides, he had to watch out for his pregnant wife for the rest of those outside their friend circle who dare try to mess with her.

When night comes, the Academy was opened with lights on for the reunion.

Lots of people were gathered, chatting animatedly after years of distance. There were teardul greetings, heartfelt cheerings and loud howling of excitement.

There are even some people who arrived late in the middle of their work.

They either shared their experience or boasted their achievements these past years.

Iruka has hosted for them, both those who either passed to Genin or never was to the very same class they had studied since very young.

The whole Rookie 9 was fully attended.

Even Sasuke was reluctantly there too, but only since Sakura comes.

And not that he needs defending her and glaring at those people who had made her life miserable. But still he was there, only arm around her pregnant belly protectively. Sakura wasn't minded at all.

Sasuke shot intimidating glares whenever other women stared at him with looks of awe and longing.

The staring was shut down to terrified glances and they immediately avert their eyes elsewhere. Sasuke signs.

Those women, they're keep eyeing me as if my wife isn't even here. As if their own husbands weren't even exist. Then again some of those women, according to Naruto, was still single. And ugly...

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio had also attended together. For some reason, Ino  brought a bouquet of flowers eventhough no one else did.

When asked, she said "In case something bad happens, these flowers will come in handy, you'll see."

They were confused with her answer.

"Ah, i still remember those days when i pull pranks on you, Iruka-sensei. It sure brought back memories."

Naruto signs as he talked with his old Chunin teacher yet still one of his father-figures. The headmaster laughs heartedly as he remembers those days when he had to yell at Naruto for his recklessness.

"Yep, i'm sorry again for those hard times, Iruka-sensei."

"Nah, it wasn't a problem.

The past is in the past. And i'm proud that you's made this far, Naruto." The headmaster pats his favorite former student on the shoulder.

"Can't believe your dream came true, Naruto." A male classmate spoke up.

Naruto and Iruka both turn to meet some of the other classmates who either failed or fell behind.

"Yeah, who would have thought?"

Another spoke, still in disbelief that after years, the assumed to be deadlast knucklehead of the class had finally achieved the goal that people thought seems impossible to him.

The blond Hokage scratches behind his head. He pointed his index finger in front of him and said.

"Yeah, i sure had shown you all that i could become Hokage.

And yet you don't believe it, dattebayo."

"Well sorry 'bout that, if there's anything we could do to pay you up just ask. You're the Hokage afterall." The other male classmate joked.

"Heh, you can smack your mouth on someone else's face for the inccident you caused upon me and Sasuke-teme there on our graduation day years ago, Tobio and Ichiki!"

The two males, mainly Tobio gulped nervously at being caught for the laughable incident that had caused the now Hokage the victim of the Uchiha's fangirls rampage.

"Y-You re-membered? B-But i thought..."

"N-No buts, or else i'll find you and put the end to your case!"

The two males shivered and nodded vigorously at the threat he may pull. Naruto and Iruka laughed heartedly as they eased the feared males that they were only teasing.

The Uchiha couple was watching people interacting when Sasuke was alerted to see other people approaching them. It was those who he didn't know outside the Rookie 9, including those previous women. His grip on Sakura and her pregnant stomach was tighter as those people came closer.

"Hi, um...Sakura...-san." One said first.

It was a female. One of those fan girls who used to squealed over him back then. Sasuke suspects they hadn't changed at all.

"Yes?" Sakura smiles nervously. Sasuke's grip on her still tight, glaring deadly in alarm.

"Well, i...um...i'm sorry... for had been treating you badly... when we were still in school. I hope...you can...forgive me..." The nameless woman looks behind to the other meekly wordless peers who was averting eyes from the dark glare of the Uchiha Patriarch.

"Forgive us...too. If it's...ok with you?"

The woman looks scared and ashamed of all those horrible acts she had caused during their youth.

She was stuttering and puting her hands in a praying position.

Sakura was hesistant. She looks up to her husband, but he was still sending those other classfellows the same glare she'd seen toward enemies. In fact he'd glaring at those who wasn't their friends.

Said friends stop their chatting to look over the little show the nameless woman had put on.

"What's going on there?" Kiba asks.

"It's possible that woman was trying to beg for Sakura-san's forgiveness."

Shino answered. Hinata was concerned. Ino was eyeing suspiciously at a trio of women from the back who were having their eyes directed at Sakura, each have a different expression.

"If you feel deeply regretted over those unproud acts you tormented to my wife, i suggested you and the rest to work more on your apologies."

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chides as the woman flinches broken-heartedly.

Her husband grunts unapologectically and continue glaring, especially at the trio at the back of the class.

The pinkette turns bac to the woman infornt of her and has a small smiles on her face.

"I forgive you.

You may acted bad toward me in the past, but since you're feel sorry about it, i hope that we could somehow befriend again in the future."

The woman seems relieved upon hearing that.

"Thank you so much, i was afraid you still hold grudges against us. To know you forgave us so earnestly gives most of us here hope that we could redeem ourselves and could be your friends."

"Well i don't!" A voice shouted.

Everyone gasps and turn their eyes to the direction of the small group of women at the back of the class.

Ino grips her flowers tightly in preparation while Sasuke silently growls, pressing Sakura closed against him protectively.

Iruka squints a little to see it was a few of those girls he'd expelled due to violation and lack of education. He remembered them vaguely due to their constant bullying on poor Sakura. Without Ino's report to him, they would still picked on the pinkette by then.

A purple-haired skank and her lackies, a spiky redhead and a chubby lass. They were standing at the tallest stair of class watching down people.

"Watanabe-san, Wataka-san, Wanari-san.

To what problem made you interrupted the peaceful atmotsphere of the reunion?"

The nameless purple skank spat rudely.

"Oh i'll tell you, sen-sei. The problem is that some of our former classmates decided to seek friendship and forgiveness from the forehead freak."

Some gasped again as the skank waltzed down carelessly until she was inches away from the Rookie 9, so are the other two. Sasuke almost activated his Sharingan out of anger.

The rest of Rookie 9 were mostly narrowing their eyes to her. Akamaru besides Kiba exclaimed a loud bark.
Naruto pointed at the group and spat loudly back.

"Hey you! Just because you're here for the reunion doesn't mean you have the right to insult one of my best friends."

The redhead spoke for her friend.

"You don't make rules here, Naruto. Eventhough you're the Hokage, you don't stick your nose into other people's business."

Hinata barged in politely. She won't let anyone talk back to ber husband like that. Even those who tried to mess with Sakura. Afterall, she herself used to be bullied too. So she won't let Sakura dealing with this again.

"Why did you have to be so crude toward Sakura-san? What had she ever done to you?"

The third woman with the orange hair tied in long knots spoke.

"She gets attention from boys too much that we hated her for it. Even Sasuke-kun glanced at her a few times. What did the males see in her anyway besides pink hair and a huge forehead?"

"What's wrong with that?"

All attention drew back to the omniously baritone voice of the said object of the topic.

Sasuke spoke again, resisting the urge to use the Susanoo to teach these b*tches whose wife they're insulting. Sakura was still in his singular arm, looking concerned.

"Why would you think Sakura isn't beautiful with pink hair and a wide forehead?"

All the women gaped. So did the men. And the rest of the Rookie 9.

No one in this room, minus Sakura ever heard the Uchiha Sasuke said someone beautiful at all. And he said it like a fact written in the Unviveres itself.

Sakura flushed bright pink. Her husband not only attentive and being content with PDA, but he'd also stated that she was beautiful with those most insecured features of her.

The three women regained their breath and spluttered aimless nontions.

"B-But but it's huge!"

"I-It's abnormal!"

"Totally creepy and unnatural at all!"

"They make her ugly!"

"Y-Yeah!"

Sasuke glares harder and the women shut their mouths out of fear.

"So? Not a problem to me."

That was his only reply. The women were shell-shocked. Sasuke looks around to everyone in the class and did something that no one had thought of.

"My wife is beautiful, no matter who or what said otherwise, she'd remain the same, beautiful. In fact she's the most beautiful woman that i've ever laid my eyes on. She's more beautiful than any other woman in this room or out there."

All gasps louder this time.

Sasuke wasn't one to spoke out loud his feelings or a talkative person, but when it comes to those who were dear to him, he'd make exceptions for them.

"All these year in the Academy, you women had kept flaunting over me as if i was a prize to win.

Sakura may used to be like you, but she'd changed for me.

She sees me both in my best and my worst self. She understands me when no one else could. She loves me despite everything. We shared a bond that's strong and a connection that's unbreakable. And our proof of love had formed in the form of our firstborn daughter, Sarada.

And soon, the three little others inside Sakura's womb. Her pink hair stands out like the bright and warm spring sunshine in my dark world.

And her forehead bears the strongest seal of strength known to kunoichis and also my declaration of love."

Sasuke raises his hand to tap gently on Sakura's infamous forehead. His look was one of tenderness. The Rookie 9 got to witness the exchange between the Uchiha couple. So are the rest of the class. Then the most shocking surprise was yet to see.

Uchiha Sasuke smacks his lips directly to his wife in an intense yet passionate kiss. The whole class hollowered in screams of shock. Some might even faint from this.

A few guys in the Rookie 9 cheers and whoops.

While the women swoons at the ultra rare and romatic display of the stoic Uchiha man.

Naruto's face screms of speechlessness but then it cringes when he spots Sasuke's slightly peeked eyes and the couple's mouth exposed some of their tounge twisted with saliva.

Then they seperated, Sasuke wipes of the remained spit on Sakura's lower lips gently.

Ino grins while Hinata was still flustered at the intimate display.

Even Iruka's eyes widened.

The three women were speechless, couldn't believe their eyes. But the middle one, the purple skank wouldn't give up.

"So what? You could do better. What does she have that i don't?!

Why did you love her so much?!"

Sasuke turns from his wife, the gentleness gone to a look that could kill to the bratty women.

"I don't remember you ever done anything that was note-worthy. Honestly i don't even remember any of these women's names, nor the faces of those who failed the Genin exam.

Those who weren't the Rookie 9 winced as Kiba whistles lowly.

That was a low blow to the ego.

The skank and her possies deflated, looking crestfallen as they they whined pathetically.

"B-But m-my name's Ami!"

"M-Mine's Fuki!"

"K-Kasumi!"

The Uchiha Patriarch shrugged nonchalantly, clearly not interested and spoke bluntly, to their disappointment.

"Like i care to remember. The thing is, my wife is countlessly better than you three could combined. Sakura's a well-known Heroine in The Fourth Ninja War. Head of Konoha Medical Hospital. And the best mother and wife that my children and i could ever have.

If you asked such a question regarding my marriage to her, no wonder you're still single."

The whole room erupted in laughter and howls of agreement.

The three women were ashamed, so much their faces were beet red and lowered themself down. Ino stood besides Sakura and draped an arm across her shoulders and spoke for the first time after Sasuke's speech.

"It's true what this guy just said.

Miss Eggplant and her lackies over there just trying to hide themselves in fear that their secret would be discovered. They might as well don't want to attend."

She points her nailed finger to the three shameful women.

"Fuki had taken the job of a local toilet janitor, she was still reeked that some of you must avoid her if you want your nose safe from the stench of urine."

They laughed again at said person.

Ino continue throwing the gossips she knows to make them look bad about how they had made best her friend felt. Sasuke wasn't bothered, but Sakura looks anxious at her former bullies as they being humiliated. She felt bad for them despite their cruelty to her from childhood.

"Kasumi had returned to farming after she got kicked out, and you could tell she's still smelly and have dirt on some of her flabby torso, or in her curly hair, even if she washed. Is lucky we didn't got hit by her giant afro hairdo again."

They laughed while pointing at the teary woman.

"And lastly Ami, her parents thought she'd failed so they forced her to work in a store as a receptionist. But at night she'd sneak out and work at a shady bar as a prostitude, sleeping with numerous drunkards."

The class hollered again in laughter.

The only ones who weren't laughing were the Rookie 9, Iruka and the Uchiha couple.

Most of them watched in pity as the former bullies of women crouched slowly down in shame as if they wanted the ground to swallow them. The rest of the former classmates now turn them as meekly little mice who tried to run away.

"Ino, could you please stop?"

A voice uttered make the laughter low down until silence.

They turn to see Sakura spoke as she released her husband's hold and crouched down to the whimpering women.

"I don't forget what you'd done to me. But i'm willing to let it go and move on if you redeem yourself and we could be friends. What do you say, friends?" The pinkette extends a hand, waiting for a handshake.

But it didn't came.

Instead her hand was slapped away by the middle women.

The class gapsed yet again.

"You think just because you have our dream man and make the world better by your hands, we have to befriend you?! Well, in hell we would!

Why did you have everything? Why is it that you who have the good stuff?"

The purple-haired skank stood up and spat again.

"I hate you, Haruno Sakura! To me you're just a pink forehead alien freak who brainwashed people into worshipping you and have all warped around you pinkie. Why don't i take some of your precious stuff?!"

Sakura was in alarmed as the skank was about to make attempt to kick on her pregnant stomach. Then suddenly  Ino steps in.

She throws the flowers right into the skank's opened mouth. The skank screeched as she tried to spit the flowers out. Worse, her friends didn't do anything to help her.

"Oops, sorry, thought you were another hideous pot needed flowers."

"Ino, why you! This again?!"

"Well hun, it's your old friend, Silver Wolf's hybrid. Be careful, this time they really poisonous."

"WHAT?! NO! HOW DARE YOU! Fuki! Kasumi, do something." The skank screams as everyine laughing at her again.

"Sorry Ami, but we don't want to."

"Iruka-sensei had warned us."

"You know well. Watanabe Ami, you're banned to attend any further reunions. You could get out the class and never contact with any of us ever again until you learn how to appreciate."

Iruka commands as soon as Naruto barged in next.

"And as the Hokage, i declare you are arrested for attempting of harming children and pregnant women, especially my best friend."

"Yeah, mine too!"

Ino puts her hands on her hips. Sasuke grits his teeth as he growls warningly with murderous glare.

"No one, especially the likes of you insult my wife and harm my unborn children." He roars as the Susanoo was summoned to grasp the women. Half the class screams in terror.

"Sasuke-kun, calm down!"

Out of nowhere, ANBU guards break in through windows and grap the skank and her lackies by the elbows.

With his summoned skeletal left arm, the raven-haired man shield his wife and their babies away from the screeching women as they being dragged out by the guards.

"Well, that was utterly troublesome."

Shikamaru mutters as Chouji munches his chips. Ino pats her best friend's shoulder in symapthy.

Sakura was saddened that she couldn't heal some pain from her childhood. The babies inside her womb were kicking, likely to cheer her up.

Sasuke wasn't entirely calmed down after someone tried to attack his family.

He knew coming here would be a horrible idea. He has to take Sakura home for rest so she won't have to think of this again.

As they walking back to their rebuilt home, Sakura still have that sad and remorseful look.

"It wasn't your fault they acted like that Sakura."

"I know, but i feel bad. I could have done something else instead of let that happened."

"It's their big mistake to try to attack you, after years. They're not mature at all. To act like that toward you. What matters the most is that you and our children are safe."

"Yeah, maybe it would better if they learn they mistake and move on from another place." Sakura said as he absently carresed her belly.

"In another place." Sasuke echos.

He hugs Sakura closer to keep her warm as they made their way to home where Sarada was either waiting or sleeping.
