Author's note: Sorry it took me so long! First we moved, and then my laptop went all screwy on me (I still don't know what is wrong with it) and I am also studying to take my certification for my massage therapy license (Wish me luck), so now I have finally finished this story! Yeah! I am trying to work on my Tsunade one shot, but I have hit a road block, but don't worry, I will put it up! Read, enjoy, Review, please!

Alerya: Who is going to do it this time?

(Chirping of crickets in the distance)

Alerya: I'm out of my Naruto OC's. There isn;t anyone else left! (Pauses) Well, I can just make these people give it (snaps fingers and three Inu Hanyou appear, two girls and one boy)

Izayoi: Alerya, we don't even belong in Naruto! (Looks like Kagome, only with Dog ears, fangs, claws, and dark violet eyes)

Alerya: Iza, you are addicted to the anime and manga, help me out here!

Idara: We all like it, and it does deal a little with youkai, just different than us (Looks like Inuyasha's mother, only with Silver hair, amber eyes, dog ears, fangs and claws)

Katsuro: Alerya doesn't own Naruto, just plot line and her OC's (Looks just like Inuyasha)

Izayoi: Can you write about us next?

Alerya: I'll try, but I'll have to do my sequel to this one at the same time. (Thinking: Why did I have to call these three?)

"Why does the Hokage have so much stupid paperwork? Can we even afford to waste the paper all these are written on?" Naruto muttered, beginning to bang his forehead on the desk.

"I don't know. Do you really need to oversee all of this, or can we delegate most of it?" I asked as I began examining the multiple requests, suggestions, along with the occasional complaint. Coming to a conclusion, I said, "Most of this stuff we can. Do you really need to personally approve what students can do for detention at the Academy?"

"No, the principal should know his job well enough to be able to handle that on his own," Naruto agreed, "Let's sort through all of these and decide which is important enough that I personally need to over see."

That took about three hours, and once that was done, we brought in the heads of every department for an emergency meeting.

"Okay, everyone, we need to change a few things. We can't afford to be wasting so much paper on things that you are all competent enough to do on you own, and I need to be able to spend some with my family. Once a month, I want detailed summaries on what is happening with your areas. For requisition and budgets, try submitting those quarterly, and that way it will be easier for us to see any excess and deficiencies, which will make it easier to correct them."

Iruka, representing the academy principal who was sick with bronchitis, looked at the paper I had given him and smiled, "This makes a lot of sense, Naruto. How much did Hinata help you with this?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, "Most of it was her idea. She is the main force behind the office running smoothly."

"I had to learn a lot of things like this when I was training to be the Hyuga clan head," I replied, "Just on a smaller scale. Even though I have given up my position, it is nice to see that my training has come in handy."

"I like this idea," Ibiki Morino said, "It will drastically cut down on how much time we have to spend with reports and such."

"Hey, one thing about this job is I have to trust people will do theirs, right?" Naruto remarked, "I think this is a step in the right direction. I will still issue missions and receive mission reports. That won't change. Does anyone have any ideas or complaints with the changes I've suggested?" No one answered, "Good, you are all dismissed."

Once they had left, Naruto grabbed my hand and pulled me down onto his lap, "Thank you so much for your help today, Hinata-hime. That should make this job a lot easier and leave us plenty of time to spend with the twins. Speaking of Minato and Sayuri, how exhausted do you think Tsunade-baachan is from babysitting them the whole day?"

I giggled as I gave him a quick kiss. The twins were sixteen months old now, and walking and getting into everything. "Worse than we are at the end of the day. She is fifty-six, or somewhere around that age."

"How about we get them and go out for ramen at Ichiraku's? We haven't been in over a month."

"Sure, I like the sound of that. I really am not in the mood to cook tonight, but we need to wait for a moment, we still have that bit of unfinished business to take care of," I reminded him.

A few minutes later, a knock sounded from the door. "Come in!" Naruto called out while I got off his lap and headed toward a closet that most people wouldn't notice. Konohamaru Sarutobi, now a Chunin, and Tenten came in, both looking confused by their summons.

"Good performance in the Chunin Exams, Konohamaru," Naruto said with a grin, "You came in third place in the tournament. I'm sorry I couldn't come."

"I understand, Boss, stuff happens," he replied with a grin. All that remained from Sasuke's attack was a scar on his face. He had been placed on a team with Hanabi, and Ebisu double-teamed with the other sensei when needed.

"Tenten, how are Neji and Hizashi doing?" I asked.

She laughed, "I have never seen Neji smile so much until you removed the seal from him, Hinata. Hizashi is doing well; he just has an ear infection right now and is keeping us up at night." Hizashi was their son, and was almost six months old.

"Boss, why are we here, unless you want me to teach at the Academy like Tenten-sensei does?"

"Maybe he wants me to tutor you in kenjutsu, because from what I hear from Hanabi, your aim needs some work," Tenten teased.

"I called you here because I have something which belongs to each of you," Naruto said. I silently opened up the cabinet behind me and pulled out two katanas in glossy, black sheaths. I handed one to Konohamaru and the other to Tenten.

Tenten looked at her new weapon with awe, "A Whirlpool Katana?"

"Like the ones you and Hinata-sama have, Boss? Awesome! Can you please teach me how to use it? I can't wait to show Hanabi!"

"Draw your blades, so that your katana will know whose blood it must not taste again." They both did, Konohamaru's sheath turned a dark green and Tenten's turned a dark red.

"Thank you," Tenten said.

"Don't thank us, you are the ones who proved yourselves worthy," Naruto replied. "Kakashi is going to teach you two how to use those things. He was, after all, taught first hand by Konoha's Katana Mistress."

"At least now he has decent excuses to be late, thanks to little Obito," Tenten laughed. We all joined her. Since the birth of his son eight months ago, Kakashi's excuses had finally gotten believable, and he was only, at the most, an hour late. Rin threatening him with diaper duty for a month if he ever fell back into his old habits again probably helped as well.

They both left and we locked to office up and headed home. About a month after Sasuke's defeat, we had moved into the old Namikaze properties, which had only received minimal damage from the Akatsuki's attack. Tsunade met us at the entrance, holding a giggling blonde toddler in each arm.

"We're home," Naruto said as he took little Minato from her. Minato looked more like Naruto every day, while Sayuri increasingly resembled me, except for her blonde Namikaze hair. I retrieved my daughter from her adoptive grandma and cuddled with her, relishing in the closeness after a day's separation. Most of the time, the twins came with us to the office and played or napped while we worked. "Want to get some ramen with us, Tsunade-baachan?"

"Sure, these two wore me out," Tsunade grinned as she tickled Sayuri's feet. The little girl squealed and kicked her feet.

As we headed toward Ichiraku's Naruto took my free hand and grinned at me. I smiled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Who would have believed this? I'm now nineteen, a Jonin, the Rokudaime Hokage's wife, mother of two adorable twins, and I have removed the Caged Bird seal from my Former clan. I will never regret jumping in between Naruto and Pain. Look at what has happened to me because of that! I began to giggle, which got Sayuri laughing.

"What's so funny?" Naruto asked.

I just laughed again, "Nothing, just remembering a few things. I'm grateful and happy with my life. I wouldn't change it for anything. Why can't I laugh about that?"

"No reason why not to. I know what you mean. I wouldn't change any thing either, except for the amount of paperwork I have to do."

"Isn't that what Shadow Clones are for?"

Our combined laughter rang through the streets of Konoha, making others smile. It was a good time for us, and it is our responsibility to keep it that way. I welcomed the challenge, with Naruto at my side.

A/N, take Two: And That's a wrap, everyone! Thank you everyone who has read, left a review, voted in one of my polls, or just done something. I had fun with this, and keep your eyes open for what ever it is I'll do next!
