So if any of you like lemons: Go to my profile. I have published a ongoing book of Naruto lemons...so yeah please check it out!

"Man, this place is huge! Are we really going to be the only people living here? That's awesome." Suigetsu spun around in awe, even though the Uchiha compound was barren and gave me a chill walking through it, it was still beautiful in design. After the massacre, Naruto and I had come here and cleaned all the blood stains we could find since we both knew the village would not do it for us. Naruto puked but we did it anyways and I'm glad we did. Having everyone see the stains from Itachi's so called mission would be horrific and I didn't want him to deal with the sight or smell of the blood of his family members when he returned home.

"Yes, the compound was designed to house over a hundred members so it is quite large." Itachi sighed in a morbid familiarity at being home after so many years. He ran his fingers along the walls, feeling every familiar crack either being left by his projectiles the night of the end or just by age and wear and tear. Even with his eyes closed he could picture the compound down to the most minute of details. Bloody or not.

"It is very nice Itachi-sama. There is a lot of nature surrounding it so I have access to the birds easier. Thank you once more for providing me a home." Jūgo smiled contently as he took in the area around him. He truly was a Disney princess, the birds flocked to him and chatted with him. Whenever he held an arm out, a creature would perch on it and hum a soft tune. (A/N: small birds are super fuckin' creepy...I hate them so even writing this made me shiver)

"Why the fuck is it so far from the center of the village? I don't want to do a damn hike every time I need shit. Wasn't the Uchiha clan some hot shit...why the fuck are they isolated from everyone?" I was slightly surprised Hidan was the one to pick up on it, but he was possibly the only one who really was willing to say anything about it. Even Deidara seemed perplexed by it, though he also seemed kind of smug since he realized not everyone thought the Uchiha were as cool as they acted.

"That is a story for another time...you'll probably learn about it in two weeks, give or take a bit." I chuckled awkwardly, moving past it to break the tense atmosphere as they were shown around before their homes were decided. I'm guessing he;s waiting for Shisui and Sasuke so they can have a say as well. It's a possibility that they'll turn the police station into an apartment complex for them to live in since it's closest to the exit and not taking up homes of the previously murdered family. Itachi stopped in his tracks and a second later I did as well a familiar raging chakra enveloped my senses. (A/n Hinata isn't a sensor fully but most hyuga are pretty good at sensing in general). Everyone else stopped in confusion and they turned around to face where Itachi and I were. The elder Uchiha brother opened his hazy onyx eyes and his features softened just the slightest.

"Hello little brother." Itachi spoke cooly as he took in the ever so slightly blurry features of his beloved brother. He took in the form of his brother and smiled softly, he was handsome and looked healthy.

"Aniki...YOU ASSHOLE." Sasuke yelled out in angsty anger, his dark coal eyes brimming with tears of conflicting emotions. He rose his fist, his chakra fluctuating and readying himself for a powerful hit as he aimed it straight towards Itachi's face. Itachi stayed completely still, awaiting the punch he felt fully deserving of. Right when Sasuke's hit was going to land, Shisui flickered in faster than the eye could follow and yanked Itachi's long ponytail, getting him to move out of the way.

"Now now little Emo-suke-chan is that the way we treat 'Tachi-chan when he finally came home. That's pretty shitty." Shisui chided, wearing his shit eating grin as he wrapped an arm around his best friend. Shisui looked completely the same with his striking yet more bubbly Uchiha features, if only just a bit taller and his curly hair a tad longer.

"Shisui-san don't!" Itachi said just the slightest it flustered in only the way Shisui could. All these years later and getting his hair pulled still got more reaction than anything else. Everyone was shocked at the sight, nobody had managed to get a reaction like that out Itachi...ever. Sasuke was having an overflow of feeling, after being in the foundation and havng suppressed his feeling to keep Danzo off his ass, seeing his bother after so long brought up everything he had hid away.

"Tachi-chan? Oh man that's priceless. Look at him." Kisame was thorougly enjoying his composed partner looking so...awkward. He needed to take notes from this Shisui guy.

"Is that guy really an Uchiha un?" Deidara finally spoke up for the first time in days. There was nothing but surprise as he looked at Shisui, he was clearly an Uchiha but Deidara found himself thinking it was a possibility that there was an Uchiha that wasn't a complete artless asshole...Sasuke was definitely not it though. Sasuke looked at Itachi and blinked back his tears before letting Shisui pull him into Itachi so they could hug. He gripped tightly around his elder brothers waist and they mumbled inaudibly so that only they could hear what was happening. Itachi let a single tear slide down his face in joy. Itachi apologized over and over, promising an explanation as soon as they got settled in, Sasuke pounded a fist into his brothers chest...not at all softly. He stood up, happy he could see his brother before his sight faded completely and pressed his fingers into Sasuke's forehead, Sasuke's face went blank at the action, but the glistening happiness and adoration that was in his eyes said it all. Shisui, Kisame, and I were grinning like maniacs and Jūgo looked pleasantly happy at Itachi's happiness.

"Ahh, the irony that Duckbutt and I's first reaction to see you is to punch you in the face. I guess we really are alike sometimes." It was as if Shisui and Sasuke finally realized the rest of us were there.

"Imouto!!!!!!" Shisui's stupid grin widened even more than it had and he flashed right in front of me, scooping me up and spinning me around in a hug.

"Shisui-nii!!" I wrapped my arms around him just as tight.

"Awe look at you, you're so cute!" I laughed happily as he planted kisses around my face. He stopped spinning and set me back on the ground, patting my head affectionately before getting a terrifying gleam in his eyes and turning to Sasuke. "Isn't she so cute Sasu-chan?" I looked at Sasuke and he was as stiff as a board standing next to Itachi. I finally got a good look at him and just wow. He was definitely tall, at this point he was almost Itachi's height. His hair was slightly longer but it still stuck up like a duck's feathers. His face had lost all of his baby fat and his jaw was sharp and defined. His eyes were penetrating. He was dressed in the ANBU uniform of those in the foundation with his blade resting at his hip and the white and red wolf mask attached to his belt. The close to the skin black pants and shirt not hiding the muscular form beneath. Man he really is gorgeous, it was almost unfair how dark and handsome he and Itachi were. Sasuke broke out of his thoughts and shifted his eyes from me to Shisui, scoffing.

"Hn. Whatever, she's still a freak." There was the smallest of smiles playing on his lips and I grinned back at him.

"Wow, over 3 years and I get a 'Hn'? I feel so touched." I wiped away a fake tear and was nudged forward by Shisui, Itachi doing the same to Sasuke. Both were amused that our dynamic hadn't changed even with the time apart. I took another step forward so that there was limited space between us and launched myself at him.

"Idiot." He scoffed but still caught me and wrapped his hands around me. One was tangled tightly in my hair and the other resting on my back. Mine were wrapped around his waist and squeezing him tightly. He was alive and ok, Danzo didn't do anything to him. His cheek was resting atop my head and I could feel his breathing, I could smell him. It felt so foreign yet so familiar and right at the same time.

"I missed you and your damn monosyllabic responses." I pressed my head further into his chest, smiling stupidly. After almost 9 years of spending time together friends or otherwise, being apart for so long was crazy. Deidara turned away in annoyance, he was pissed at me for the whole Tobi ordeal and now I was blatantly getting so friendly with another Uchiha asshole in front of him. He was beyond mad...and not the blow up somebody kind, the silent seething anger that was rare for the hot head. Sasori noticed his partners distress and anger but he did nothing, it wasn't his place nor did he care enough to ask. He was more interested in how I acted with my friends and family, seeing a side of me that was different than the one I showed in the Akatsuki.

"Hn. I missed your stupid self too." That was the best I was going to get from him but it didn't matter, he was here and safe and finally was able to be with his elder brother again. There was a whoosh in the air and Sasuke and I were forced to separate before we were sliced by the giant blades of Hidan's scythe that was embedded into the ground where we were just standing.

"Dude, what the fuck?" I spoke exasperatedly, my heart skipped a beat in nerves at what the hell just happened. Sasuke growled and his sword was drawn and clashed with Hidan's blade in a furious strike. Hidan was pulled back this time by Kisame and Sasuke was subdued by Shisui. Kakuzu's hands retracted from his body and he had a firm grip on Sasuke's sword as well as Hidan's scythe. As entertaining as a fight would be, he didn't want to lose the money I promised and getting kicked out within an hour of being accepted was not an option.

"That's so cool!" Shisui stared at Kakuzu's threads in amazement, he saw the bounty hunters profile in a bingo book but never really read up on his skill set so seeing this in person was so cool.

"What the hell is this stuff." Sasuke spoke coldly, eyeing the threads halting him from moving his sword. He'd never seen a jutsu like this one before.

"Dammit fish face let me go. I'm going to fuck this pretty boy up not kill him even if Lord Jashin wants his blood." Hidan thrashed but Kisame's tight grip was unrelenting and almost impossible to escape.

"I would but...nobody believes you." Kisame grinned menacingly, tightening his grip to a painful level getting more annoyed hollers and threats from Hidan. Sasuke saw the sharpness of Kisame's teeth and immediately thought of Zabuza. The large ass swords confirmed it and he shuddered thinking there were two of the crazy swordsmen now. And this guy seemed even scarier if his stature and shark-like features had anything to say about it. "Why are you trying to kill the mini Uchiha anyways?"

"That fuckin' asshole kissed the hot bitch!" That got Shisui to lose it in laughter, Sasuke's cheeks were the softest of pink but he had an arrogant smirk on his face, and I...I wanted to disappear in a hole right about now.

"You told them?" Sasuke was oozing arrogance.

"Wait-I was drunk...dammit Hidan!" I huffed and glared at him, Kisame was snickering and Sasori and Kakuzu looked interested as well.

"Who tainted you Imouto, who let you drink? 'Tachi you were supposed to make sure she stayed pure and innocent forever!" Shisui whined, using a hand to tug on Itachi's hair getting a grunt of annoyance.

"Aa. I wasn't apart of that decision."

"Ohh so you're into pretty boys. Man I got this in the bag." Suigetsu slurped his water as he watched the scene fully amused with the free entertainment. This was so much better than Orochimaru's hideouts. Looking at Suigetsu, he noticed the similar teeth and though he was smaller and less menacing, Sasuke wasn't dumb enough to think the water user was any less powerful than his sensei in learning Kenjutsu. Sasuke finally got a good look at the rest of my companions and just had to wonder what kind of freaks I made friends with. His eyes flickered between Itachi and I in questioning.

"Who the hell are these losers Aniki?" Jūgo was the first one to step forward, his hulking form for somebody barely 2 years older than me towered over Sasuke who was finally released by Shisui. The Uchiha boy tensed but instead of a violent outburst like Hidan had, the cursed boy bowed his head lowly.

"I am Jūgo. Your brother is my cage, it is an honor to meet somebody that Itachi-sama and Hinata-hime speak so highly of." Suigetsu came forward and threw and arm haphazardly over Jūgo's shoulder and another around mine.

"Yo, I'm Suigetsu Hozuki Hinata-chan's teammate and a swordsman of the mist...Your Sasuke Uchiha right? Gotta say, for a pretty boy I'm a big fan. You riled up Orochimaru-sama even more than when Hinata-chan escaped." Sasuke's eyes narrowed in distaste at the two of them. Within seconds of hearing Suigetsu's non stop rambling to whoever would listen, he already decided that the white haired boy was a more blood thirsty Naruto. And though we have been on a break, he didn't like that I had other teammates, he believed he Naruto Zabuza and Kakashi were my real teammates.

"So before Duckbutt gets all possessive over his precious Aniki and decides to hate all of you, let's do some more actual introductions."

"Oh I'm first...friends of 'Tachi-chan and Imouto are friends of mine." His smile dropped and he had on the most menacing look I have ever seen, it even made Sasuke shiver. Shisui was never overly threatening but at the speed he moved to mess with Itachi he was obviously skilled."But if you so much as look at them wrong...I'll kill you." His shit eating grin immediately dispelled the tense air he created as he chuckled. "But that's besides the point. Hey, I'm Shisui Uchiha!" All of them looked at him like he was crazy. They were positive now that Shisui was insane and the only Uchiha genes he received were from his looks. For Kakuzu an avid checker of the bingo book, the name Shisui was familiar, he was definitely no average Jonin.

"Sasuke Uchiha." And that was all we were going to get from him.

"Kakuzu. You are Shisui of the body flicker correct?" Shisui rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, giving a yes. "Hm. You have powerful and expensive friends Hinata." I guess that is his way of approval?

"I'm Hidan you fucking Uchiha bastards."

"Hn. Never thought I'd meet a person more crude than you freak." Sasuke mumbled lowly and I rolled my eyes. Zabuza was more foul mouthed than me but Hidan takes the cake.

"I'm Deidara un." No mentions of any threats toward Itachi or his art or anything, my heart was constricting with pain. I needed to fix this sooner rather than later.

"Sasori no Akasuna." Shisui looked at Sasori in confusion, his Hiruko shell was scary and kind of creepy.

"Is that his real body? His chakra moves oddly through it."

"No, he's a puppet master." Shisui nodded in understanding. "Ok so now that everyone knows each others names... Sasuke, Shisui." I had both of their attention.

"I have given the former Akatsuki a home in our compound but it is your choice on where they are going to have their residence. I will not give them a home wherever you do not agree. Furthermore, little brother, I know it is selfish but I would like to live with you once again with whatever time I have left." To those of us who knew of Itachi's illness, the words were more ominous than anything. Shisui's eyes narrowed but he still put a fooling smile on his face. Most Uchiha hide behind a stone mask but Shisui can fake a smile and use that as his mask. It is almost more unbreakable than just staying stoic.

"Do you even have to ask 'Tachi-chan?" Sasuke was a bit more reluctant. His eyes flickered around the compound and I could see the hidden pain and anger raging behind his onyx eyes. Itachi felt selfish asking his brother to return home with him, but yet again he wanted to be selfish. He felt as though there was possibly so little of his life left that he could just enjoy his limited time with his family. he could feel his vision fading in and out and his body was burning with sickness but it didn't matter because he got to see Sasuke and Shisui one last time.

"Hn. They can stay at the police station." Ah so I was right, that is where they are staying. Itachi Sasuke and Shisui will most likely move into Shisui's old house, I don't think Sasuke would want to go home in the slightest.

"While you show them their home and then have a nice brotherly chat, I'm going to go let everyone else know I'm home. Duckbutt do you know where Naru-kun is?"

"Where else would the dobe be this early?" Sasuke scoffed like I was an idiot and my question kind of was. At this time he would have either just woken up or was headed straight to Ichiraku Ramen since he's on a day off.

"Yeah dumb question." I gave Sasuke one last hug and promised to come back as soon as I could, he was due for another training session with his partner in the foundation tomorrow afternoon so I'd probably find him before he left. We needed to discuss the finalized plans of Itachi's surgery and see if Sasuke is willing to help. Time is ticking and if we can't start it tomorrow, the next day will be the latest I think we can wait before Itachi is completely blind. "Oh yeah Kakuzu, Hidan. Clean yourselves up and be ready by 6... my family has invited you to dinner. And please... if you won't dress up, at least wear a shirt." My eyes met Hidan at that and he smirked, puffing out his bare chest. I let out a soft laugh at him and stuck out my tongue.

"Sure thing hot bitch."

"Bye guys, I'll come by tomorrow and you can meet some other people!" Shisui pressed a soft kiss to my head and then grabbed Itachi's bag to lead them to the compound. Before Deidara could leave I grabbed his hand.

"What the hell do you want un?" He was bitter, his blue eye was burning with a ferocious anger and disappointment. He shook my hand off him and glared down at me, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"Just...ugh...I know you're mad and you have every right to be but before you hate me forever just meet me at the outskirts of my compound at midnight. You can't miss it." I pleaded slightly with my eyes and he looked away before letting out a nasally huff.

"Fine un, but if I'm not satisfied I'm leaving hmm." I smiled a sad smile but I was more determined than ever to get him to stay. He was the one who was almost didn't come in the first place and no way in hell am I going to let him leave because of me not telling the full truth.

"And I will help you not get caught." It was another promise, much like one I made with Sasori on either I do something or help them do something else. I turned around and headed for the exit. "Bye Dei."

"Hmm."

I hauled ass over to Ichiraku Ramen. Seeing Sasuke made me that much more excited to see Naruto and I was moving at what felt like godspeed across the rooftops to get there. I was excited to see Naruto and was hoping he was at home because I really didn't want to race all over town trying to find him. He would also know where Kakashi and hopefully Gaara are, both of whom would be much harder to find so finding the blonde would be the best bet for me. I skidded to a stop outside the little corner shop, letting the flavorful and savory smell of ramen envelop my senses. It definitely brought back memories of all the entertaining conversations Team 7 had there.

I dropped from the roof and walked slowly forward, trying to sense his chakra in the busy area. There was no hint of it anywhere. I moved the sheet to the side and peaked in. Old man Teuchi smiled and greeted me with a smile then when he finally recognized me, it grew that much more kind.

"Hoho it's wonderful to see you again Hinata-chan, it has been a while."

"That it has Teuchi-san, this place looks amazing!"

"Thank you for the praise. What can I make for ya today? Do you still eat your usual?"

"It's been forever and you still remember? That's amazing but nope. I'm going to surprise Naruto so can you get me two bowls, one Pork Tonkatsu and one Miso with extra pork belly." He let out a guffaw and gave the order to Ayame who started right away. As much as I'd love to buy more I kinda and going to be broke for a while with Kakuzu getting all of my money...so I can only get us one bowl each and then Naruto can choose what flavor he wants.

"Coming right up, he's sure going to be happy."

"I hope so." I bounced impatiently as the food cooked. Teuchi handed me them in two to-go bowls and I hightailed it to Naruto's apartment. As soon as I got to the door, I could feel chakra inside of his apartment, it was slow so it had to be him sleeping. I raised my fist and pounded on the door obnoxiously loud so it would wake him up. There was a loud thump and a cry of annoyance before he reached the door and swung it open. He was rubbing his eyes tiredly and frowning, his otter hat all askew on his head. He was a lot taller than I remember, and though he was just waking up and had drool on his face, he had grown to look a lot more mature as well. In no time he would have ladies all over him, he was so cute.

"Oi pervy sage why...wait who are...HINA-CHAN! YOU'RE BACK 'TTEBAYO!" I was scooped up into his arms and he clumsily maneuvered through his mess to the couch, throwing me on it and plopping besides me. "And you brought ramen, you're the best!"

"I know." I jumped onto him and wrapped my arms around him, he was definitely larger than last time we were together. He spluttered awkwardly at the affection but then giggled happily and hugged me back. "I missed you Naru-kun. I bet you got a lot stronger while I was gone." He puffed out his chest pridefully and my favorite foxy, sunlight inducing grin was on his face and for a second it felt like all my worries had melted away...that it was just me and the sun, me and Naruto.

"Of course 'ttebayo. All that time with pervy sage wasn't for nothing. I bet I can even beat Kakashi-sensei. I have lots of cool jutsu's to kick but with."

"I wouldn't go that far though I think we'll have to spar to find out." I chuckled, he was always so positive and energetic it was a welcomed change. I missed this so much.

"Yeah and when Teme is done with that Danzo bastard he can join too!" I moved from hugging him to sitting back on the couch, though I was leaning into his side as we opened our ramen bowls and started eating. I was about half way through mine when Naruto was watching each bite with jealousy so being the amazing person I am, I gave him the rest of mine as well. He told me about his adventures with Jiraiya and even some of the training he was doing here with Kakashi...the rasen-shuriken isn't too far away and his seal mastery is apparently one to envy. Someday soon he will be able to use the Flying Raijin as well and when that happens, any enemies are fucked. Naruto is at a completely different level than before and I have no doubt that he would kick my ass if we went into a full out battle. I picked up the bowls to throw them away not wanting to add to the clutter that is his room and when I turned around to walk back Naruto had on a mischievous look.

"Hina-chan." He used a finger to make a come-hither motion and I did albeit very confusedly. He yanked my arm and pulled me into his lap, his cerulean eyes boring into my own. "See that, I made you come with one finger, imagine what I can do with two." I was stunned into complete silence. I have heard a lo of pick-up lines, in fact they never fail to amuse me but this one...coming from Naruto of all people had he shook. I opened my mouth and then lost it, laughing until I was crying. It was the greatest line and most smooth thing Naruto has ever done and I have no doubt that Jiraiya told him to say it. (This is my fav pick up line ever used and I lost my shit when I heard it.)

"That is the greatest thing I have ever heard in my life." I got out between wheezes. Naruto was grinning happily and laughing along as well. I used to always use pick up lines on him as a joke and he finally came up with one that put all of mine to shame.

***

(3d pov) because I haven't done one for Naruto yet...

When Naruto saw Hinata for the first time in over three years he was shocked. She was so...so beautiful. Her hair was as long and lustrous as ever and her face was no longer rounded and chubby in a cute way, she was more womanly and too pretty for him to even describe. His heart beat faster, he was nervous. Hinata's smile was like a flower and Naruto felt a happiness different than what he felt with his friends, it was like he was feeling something for the first time. It was scary and made his chest stop working but it was also intoxicatingly amazing at the same time. When they talked it was like no time had passed between them, she still smiled with her eyes and laughed at what he said.

She still had that unwavering belief in him that he was going to be a hero, that he was strong enough to be the Hokage and save the world. It made her that much more wonderful. She took care of him, just like when they were little. She didn't just come home and tell him, she came home and brought him food, she cleaned up his mess for him, she even shared her food because she felt like he needed it more. She wasn't just strong or pretty, Naruto believed she was beautiful because of that kindness in her heart that was also like raging waves when she was angry. When she took his bowl to the garbage, the sunlight entered through the blinds and he felt clammy again, it was an odd feeling that was foreign. He got a perfect view of her profile, she was so beautiful. He lifted his calloused hand in impulse to trace the beautiful outline of her face with his fingers but then she turned back to him and he dropped it and blurted out something else to help his heart from beating so erratically.

He released her from his hold and then she rested back against his side, still letting out soft little giggles at his amazingly executed pick-up line. She was practically glowing in happiness at being reunited with him, all she needed was to find Kakashi and the 'orogional' Team 7 would be back together. But before even trying to find him, she was going to find Shika. Their last meeting was...passionate to say the least and she missed his snarky lazy ass responses. For the moment it was feeling as everything was going right in the world.

"Naru-kun, where are Panda-kun and Kashi-sensei going to be today?"

"Kakashi-sensei promised to train me today dattebayo but since he's always late don't expect him to be there until later. Gaara-kun is staying at a secret inn by the Hokage tower! I'll take you there 'ttebayo." Naruto felt like his mind was going blank when she smiled appreciatively at him and laced their fingers together. She crossed her legs over his and pressed a kiss to his hand.

"I'm really glad I'm home. I can't tell you how much I missed you. I also have a few people I really want you to meet and I know duckbutt wants you to meet 'Tachi as well."

A/N: Yayyyyy sasuke is back! So yeah more reunions and fluff and stuff next chapter, finally fixing things with Dei, dinner with Hidan and Kakuzu...then things will get heated and it will finally be decided if I kill off Itachi or not. I added some more stuff with Naru that I thought was cute and may or may not have gotten the idea from the light novel... oh well.

: Ok so i didn't know what K-pop was until last year when somebody sent me super junior sorry sorry and I loved it...then i went into the hole and like 4 months later learned who BTS is. That was the end of it all for me and I am OBSESSED. I low-key have spent like so much time learning about them and listening to every song and ugh My bias is either V or Suga (if you don't know their real names, those are the stage names)  but I can't decide.........I love them all so much though and it kills me. Jimin is the sexiest though and ugh I can't with his falsetto. The biggest compliment ever was when my bother told me (btw he is a huge dick) that I sang as good as them..I was ready to cry. so yeah. I love K-pop.. if not BTS...I really like EXO because of their album Tempo...amazing listen to it
