PinkBlossem (:

It has been 7 years since Sasuke has left the village. And through his journey with Orochimaru and Team Hebi, he has decided to come back to Kohona. It was where he was born after all, but there was something more here in Kohona. He didn't quite know what it was, but he felt the need to come back. Something deep inside of him was telling to come back and he felt as if Naruto had something to do with this feeling.

He glared, "Dobe."

"What was that Sasuke," Karin, his team mate in Hebi, ask. She was kind of short and had bright ass pink hair. She wore glasses and the slutest clothes. She was madly in love with Sasuke and hope to help him with his second goal.

He ignored her and continued walking towards Kohona. He was in no rush to get there. He knew once he'd get there that Naruto would try to kill him and Sakura would burst into tears and cry saying her love for him. He scuffed.

'She's probably the same; Still in love with me and wanting my children. Just what I need, another Karin' he rolled his eyes at the statement of two Karin's. One was enough for him.

He told his team mates he was going back and two out of three decided to come back to him. The two that drove him insane the most, Karin and Suigetsu. Suigetsu was a great swordsman that was his first man to recruit when forming Team Hebi. He was loyal, but when him and Karin got in fights, it drive Sasuke up the wall. Both of his Team mates reminded him of the two at home. Suigetsu is so cocky and loud and Karin is obsessed over him and weak, but she has amazing chakra control.

Juugo decided not to come with Sasuke. Sasuke didn't mind much, but it was Juugo's decision and he didn't want to question him.

He could see the gate to Kohona and he couldn't stop thinking of everyone in Kohona and how much they must have changed. 7 years was a long time. He could see the Hokage tower. Tsuande was going to murder him. She can just picture her now. He shivered.

Would anyone accept him back in Kohona? They have too, they've been searching for him and he came back willingly. Questions filled his head as he took his first steps into Kohona.

"Sasuke," The guard at the gate questioned. It was a man's voice, but Sasuke couldn't identify the guard because of the masks. He looked towards the guard and noticed there was two. One was very fat and one was very tall and skinny. "The Hokage will see you."

Sasuke nodded as the very tall one walked towards the tower.

'Smart man, he knows not to touch me' He thought the guards were going to grab him and drag him to the tower. He followed the guard and noticed couple bugs on his back that crawled up and disappeared into his shirt. Sasuke thought it was very unusual until it hit him, 'Shino'

Sasuke smirked following him.

When they reached the tower, Shino knocked on the door, "Hokage, we have someone who would like to see you," Shino said seriously.

Sasuke was getting ready for the impact that the Hokage would throw at him. He was ready for anything.

The door opened and Sasuke saw the Hokage with her gear on and her head down. He stood quietly with his team in the middle of the room. Sasuke was ready for the screaming.

As soon as the Hokage looked at him, Sasuke knew he wasn't ready anymore.

"DOBE," Sasuke yelled. "You're Hokage?" Sasuke glared.

Naruto chuckled, "I told you this was my dream, Teme."

Sasuke didn't say anything, but stared at Naruto wondering what else has changed in the village.

"Back to what is at hand, Teme." Naruto said seriously. "Why did you come back?"

"I killed Orochimaru and Itachi. I have no reason to continue to be away from my Village. I wish to return with my team mates and hope to start a family here." He said as if he practiced multiple times.

Naruto nodded understanding, "You do know that there will be consequences?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Of course, Dobe."

"You will announce me as Hokage, Sasuke. I am very upset with you. After everything this village has done for you. After everything Team Seven has done for you. You will be punished, but I will allow you to come back to the village. You and your team mates will be interrogated. You and your team mates will not be allowed to leave the village for 1 year and no missions that are bigger then B ranked missions will be assigned to you. You are a Chunin and competitions will be arriving soon that you will be able to compete if you wish to be a Jounin." Naruto informed him.

Sasuke nodded slightly annoyed that the dobe was telling him what he could and couldn't do. He never pictured this day would come.

"You're dismissed." Naruto nodded towards the door. "Oh and Teme, be on your best behavior while you're here. You wouldn't want to upset more people then you've already upset. "

Sasuke nodded again and exited the building. He turned and was surprised to find Karin and Suigetsu already gone. He rolled his eyes knowing they were either tired or hungry. He started walking towards his manor and realized how deserted it was.

He found his house and walked around, having the memories flood into his mind. He didn't like the feeling here, but he knew it was time to move on from the past. He got his revenge and it was time to focus on his next goal. He started to clean the manor.

Hours later, he became extremely hungry and he knew it was time for a break. He went out to shop for food.

As he was walking down the food market, he continued having memories flood his mind and he didn't notice his name being called. He finally paused and felt a bump in the back of his back. He could only imagine it was the pink-haired ex-team mate. He was getting ready for the tears. He turned around to find a head of blonde on the ground.

He watched as Ino stood up with a shocked face, but then smiled, "I knew it was you!"

Sasuke growled not wanting to deal with a fan girl.

"Shikamaru, I told you it was him!" Ino shouted behind her.

Sasuke looked up to find Shikamaru walking towards them. Shikamaru was quite tall. He locked eyes with Sasuke then wrapped his arm around Ino.

Sasuke didn't show it, but he was surprised to see the two dating. Who else is dating?

"Sasuke," Shikamaru acknowledged.

"Shikamaru," Sasuke shook his hand showing a change.

Ino and Shikamaru noticed this changed, "So what are you doing back," Shikamaru asked.

"My first goal is done and I hope to achieve my second goal," He stated calmly as if normal.

Ino slightly glared at him, but asked, "Who all have you seen?"

"The dobe and Shino," he answered.

Shikamaru nodded his head while Ino smirked, "you'll be quite surprised on how everything has changed here."

"Would you like to come to a party with us at Neji's? I think you'll be happy to see everyone again." Shikamaru asked politely.

Sasuke was about to decline, but he was very curious how much everyone has changed. He nodded his head, but explained he had to drop off his groceries first. Ino and Shikamaru helped them and oddly, Sasuke couldn't stand to see them kiss every now and then. It gave him a feeling of jealousy. He didn't have feelings for Ino though, he wanted the feeling they felt for each other.

They all walked together to Neji's house. Sasuke half expected a tea party from the overly polite ninja, but instead got a loud and outgoing dance party. Many people were dancing, but the people he knew the most were sitting at a bar looking area or a circle couch in each other's arms.

He finally got to see who was dating who. From what he say, Neji and Tenten were together and so were Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke couldn't find any other couples he really knew, but this was all shocking as it was. Everyone seem to be grown and Sasuke couldn't believe the difference.

Ino and Shikamaru walked over to the other couples on the couch and sat by them. Ino waved over to Sasuke for him to join them. He thought against it, but he wanted to see if the others would accept him in so he walked over to the couples.

"Uchiha," Neji question as if it wasn't really him.

Sasuke smirked, "Hyuuga."

Sasuke took his time to look at his old comrades. Neji was bigger and more muscular; it could be comparable to Sasuke. He still had his long hair and his head band on his forehead. Sasuke looked at Tenten who was in Neji's arms. She was more mature and still had those two buns on her head. She extended her arm to shake Sasuke's hand. While she shook his hand, she smiled. Then that's went Sasuke felt it.

"You're married," Sasuke stated.

Tenten giggled and nodded her head, "Yes, to this hunk of a man right here, "she said as she kissed Neji on the cheek. "That's not all, I'm with child." Tenten said as she rubbed her tummy.

Sasuke's eyes widened, "Congratulations, "Sasuke bowed in honor.

Neji smirked while Tenten snuggled closer to him.

Sasuke turned to Naruto and Hinata. Hinata was on Naruto's lap with a bright red face. Naruto was laughing at something Ino must of said because they were both laughing extremely hard where Sasuke thought they might lose their breathe. Naruto's arms were around Hinata and she had recently cupped his face to smile at him and then Sasuke say the second ring of the night. 'The dobe is married too.' But when Sasuke turned to Naruto's hand, there was no ring in sight. 'He must be engaged.'

Sasuke inwardly congratulated him in his mind. 'he finally realized Hinata was in love with him.'

Hinata has grown to be a beautiful young lady. She was very elegant, but seemed still very shy. Naruto was still the hyper-active knucklehead he will always be, but Sasuke knew that Naruto has changed at lot because of earlier today. It still didn't process in his mind that Naruto was Hokage.

Sasuke felt out of place as the couples around his cuddled with each other. Sasuke didn't even want to sit by them. He walked off to the bar area and ordered a drink.

"Sasuke? Hey," a voice called out.

Sasuke looked over to see Kiba. Next to Kiba was Shino, and Lee. Everyone looked so much older and stronger. He didn't think everyone could change this much. He mentally slapped himself realizing that Kiba was talking to him.

"What are you doing back, "Kiba asked with his slight smirk on his face.

Sasuke's eyebrows ALMOST twitched. No one smirked like him. It annoyed him when people tried to act like him. "I killed Orochimaru and Itachi. I have no reason to not come back."

"But do you have a reason to come back," Kiba questioned.

'When did Kiba start talking so smart' Sasuke questioned. Sasuke was more annoyed that this question was bugging him so much. He wasn't ready for this question to spring on him. Sasuke simply shrugged.

Kiba shook his head almost in disappointment. "Well, I'm sure everyone is glad to have you back, but once Naruto has the opportunity, He's going to murder you, "He said with a smirk.

Sasuke shrugged, he knew Naruto would try to beat him up sooner or later, but Sasuke was waiting for it. He wanted to see how strong he really has gotten.

Sasuke downed his drink then walked away from Kiba with a short hand shake. Sasuke didn't know why, but he felt like something was missing. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something was missing. He shook him head and walked towards Naruto. He wanted to go home. He felt out of place.

"Naruto," He started. Naruto was drunk off his ass and it disgusted Sasuke. Sasuke honestly wished Naruto would go back to ramen. "I'm leaving"

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a rosy face. He stopped laughing and lifted Hinata off his lap and sat her down on the couch. He whispered something in her ear that made her giggle and nod. Naruto walked over to Sasuke and placed his arm around his neck, "Let's go talk, Sasuke"

Sasuke raised his eyebrow, but nodded.

They walked outside and Naruto placed his hands behind his head while smiling, "Tomorrow, I want you in my office and I'll give you your first mission back. I want to see what you got, Teme."

Sasuke was slightly surprised Naruto could actually speak full sentences with the alcohol he ingested. He must not be as drunk as he thought. Sasuke nodded at Naruto, "Does my team need to be there?"

Naruto shook his head violently. "No, no, no. They are still being interrogated as we speak and won't be out for a couple of days."

Naruto patted Sasuke on the back quite hard and Sasuke glared at him. "Glad to have you back, Teme, but you need to lighten up or else you're not going to have as much fun."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked away.

"You can't even notice what is not there, "Naruto sloppily said then walked back into Neji's house.

Sasuke growled, 'What is with everyone becoming so smart?' He rolled his eyes and didn't let what Naruto said bother him. He walked home and climbed into bed for a good night's rest.

The next morning Sasuke woke up to a bright shining morning with birds chirping and kids laughing. Sasuke wasn't use to walking up like this. He groaned, but got out of bed and got ready to go see the Hokage. He was honestly excited for a mission.

He walked outside of the manor right as two kids ran past him laughing. Sasuke watched them run by him and the corner of his lips lift slightly. That's what he wanted, but he was missing and important piece of the puzzle; a wife. And he wouldn't have just any wife, no he wanted a strong beautiful wife who was proud and respected the name of Uchiha. He needed to start looking for a wife.

Sasuke was determined to start as soon as he got back from Naruto's office. He wasn't to start his family as soon as he could. At the rate everyone was going, all of the good women were going to be taken. He had thought about Tenten, Hinata, and even Ino becoming his wife, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't like the idea. Tenten didn't seem like the mother type to him. He didn't want to be the one watching the kids while she was always out of missions. She also seemed too much of a boy to him. Hinata was way too shy for his liking. Uchiha's were outspoken leaders who took control and Hinata wasn't that type. And Finally Ino, he shivered. He didn't want to talk about that one.

Then there was Sakura, he thought long and hard about her, but just like Ino, he didn't even like thinking about it. He didn't need a fan girl as his wife. And Sakura was weak. When he thought of Sakura, it was the opposite of an Uchiha.

Sasuke then realized he didn't see Sakura at the party last night. He continued to think if there was any sight of pink, even on the dance floor, but he couldn't remember any. He tsked. He was glad he didn't have to see her so soon.

Then he felt a weird feeling in his stomach. Sasuke ignored it and pushed the thoughts aside and continued his journey to Naruto's office. He shivered again. That sounded weird.

Sasuke didn't bother to knocked and walked right in to his office. Then Sasuke realized his mistake when he saw Neji, Shikamaru, Ino, and Tenten all in the office with ANBU gear on. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, 'They're all ANBU' He had a different type of feeling in his stomach and pushed that aside as well.

"Hello Sasuke," Naruto greeted then turned back to the other ninjas, "Please leave as soon as you can. This is a very important mission and I hope you will ask her to team up with you if she isn't too far behind with her patients. She will help you greatly. I also want a full report on how she is doing and that she is safe," Naruto glared down at the ground.

Sasuke became confused. Whoever 'she' is was causing Naruto pain. Naruto looked up with a serious look on his face.

"Also tell Gaara I expect a visit from both of them. Tell him he can't keep her to himself forever." Naruto glared even harder at the ground.

Ino giggled while Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "Oh Naruto, she isn't dead. She is just very busy with everything that is going on in Suna. She'll visit you as soon as she can."

"Full report on her," Naruto demanded.

"Yes, Sir," Neji reported back. They all bowed and exited the office. Sasuke stepped aside and watched them exit the room.

"Yes, Sasuke come here." Naruto said as he sat back in his seat. "After you leave here, you will be interrogated. Then your mission will be a simple D ranked mission. Your goal is repopulate your clan, correct," Sasuke nodded, "Then you will go to the academy and teach a class a couple justu's. Their teacher is currently out because his wife is expecting her baby tomorrow, so you will teach the class for a couple of days and we'll see what happens."

Sasuke groaned, but nodded. "When do I start?"

"Tomorrow,"

Sasuke nodded then walked out of the office.

Naruto chuckled, "Well then, dismissed," he smiled; glad to have his best friend back in the village.

PinkBlossem (:

The Next day Sasuke was ready to teach the kids some things he had learned when he was in the academy; the close jutsu and replacement jutsu. He smirked remembering Naruto trying to do this jutsu.

As he walked into the room, it got silent and all eyes landed on him. Sasuke kept his cool; it was just a bunch of kids.

"Since your teacher is out, I'll be replacing him. Today we're going to learn a new jutsu." Gasps were heard around the room with excitement, "Have you guys leaved the clone jutsu yet?" All of the kids shook their head no. "Okay, so that's what we're going to learn today. " Sasuke stood in front of the class and demonstrated the jutsu. "It's only three symbols: Ram, snake, and tiger." He showed them each symbol. "Then you're going to concentrate you Chakra and say, Bunshin no jutsu"

Everyone nodded their head and some repeated the words out loud.

"Okay, one at a time, you're each going to come up here and try this jutsu. Let's start with," Sasuke paused looking around the room. He saw a kid with brown hair that had bright blue eyes. He was smirking and talking to the girl who was next to him. She seemed to roll her eyes. 'He's being cocky, huh'

"You," He pointed to the kid, "give it a try."

The kid's eyes widened, but then narrowed. "I have a name, "he yelled and glared at Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked, "You do?"

The class laughed at Sasuke's joke. The kid grumbled and walked in front of the class, "Bunshin no Jutsu," a clone of the kid appeared next to him, but it was weak looking. Sasuke thought of Naruto. The kid became frustrated and tried again, "BUNSHIN NO JUTSU," he screamed and this time two clones came out. They looked perfect. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and walked over to the clones and poked one of them. Like he thought, it disappeared.

"Instead of focusing on showing me up, focus on your chakra." Sasuke stated. The kid rolled his eyes and walked back to his chair. Sasuke pointed for the next kid to come up and try, but Sasuke was too focused on that one kid. Sasuke turned around and grabbed a piece of chalk and threw it at the kids head, "Pay attention."

The kid gave him a death glare. Sasuke smirked and knew he got on the bad side of this kid, 'This is going to be a fun couple of days.'

In Suna

"Gaara-kun, you asked for me," A petite beautiful woman walked as she knocked of Gaara's office.

"Come in Sakura," Gaara said.

Sakura walked in the office to five people. Sakura smiled and tackled Ino, "Ino I missed you, " they both laughed. Sakura jumped up and hugged everyone else. "I've missed everyone."

Everyone smiled and took turned hugging Sakura.

"Sakura, you know why they're here, right," Gaara asked.

She nodded, "The Akatsuki."

Gaara nodded, "As you all know, there was been word that two members of the Akatsuki are heading this way. Reasons are unknown, but we will figure out why. I do thank Naruto for all the help and sending you guys for us. Suna is at Kohona's services if there is anything we could do."

Tenten and Ino smiled while Neji and Shikamaru nodded.

"I trust you guys to gain more information about the Akatsuki, so I will let you guys go." Gaara nodded for them to leave.

Everyone bowed and left. As they walked out, Ino and Tenten were asking Sakura how she was doing in Suna.

"I've been fine and if everything goes according to plan, I will be able to come home in a couple months. The patients from the war are all going well and I have successfully trained Suna's staff for anything to happen after I leave." She smiled, happy to finally be going home after a year.

"You're really coming home soon, "Ino yelled excited.

Sakura smiled, she missed her friends.

"Let's get back to the Akatsuki," Neji interrupted. Everyone nodded and looked at Neji. "Ino and Tenten, you're going get as much information about the Akatsuki as you can around Suna. Shikamaru and I are going to go outside of the village and get some information as well." Everyone nodded. "Sakura, you're staying here and continue your work." Sakura nodded.

"Okay, let's go," with that everyone split up.

Sakura went back to the hospital and she walked into the hospital with a smile. She was so happy to see her friends again. She missed everyone. She couldn't wait to see Naruto again. Last time she saw him was at Neji's and Tenten's wedding. She felt tears in her eyes. She refused to cry anymore.

'I'll see you soon, Naruto. I miss you.' She thought as she picked up her clipboard to continue her work. 'Soon'

PinkBlossem (:

Well I hope you guys like it. I know there are a lot of details and this chapter may be boring, but it will get more excited once Sasuke and Sakura meet. I know Sasuke is really mean right now, but I promise that will start to change. If you have any suggestions you would like to happen, just leave a comment. Thank you.
