Two days after the battle with Danzo and his followers, the village was starting to get back to normal. Neji was stated to be forever blind. The only way he would see is with his Byakugan. The loss of his site was heavy blow leaving him in despair. Eveyone was happy to have Ino back and impressed with her skill. Her father held her so tightly her friends had to pry him off so she could breath. Ino managed to talk her parents into allowing Thor to live with them.

Tsunade dropped all charges against Sasuke attacking the elders however received and earful about being a team player from both her and Sakura. With Sasuke back in the village Naruto had been spending every moment with Hinata neither getting tired of the others company. Tenten began training harder in hand to hand combat and weaponary. Her fight with Bullseye and being called Black Widow sparked something in here. With the severe loss of ANBU many ninja received offers to fill the ranks. Tenten was one of candiates.

Shikamaru was in the Hokage manor with Tsunade looking at the village. "The Avengers did one heck of a job huh?" The sorceror asked.

"They sure did. So what now?" Tsunade asked knowing there was more to his plan.

"We expand. I request you call the other four Kage. It's time to propose Avengers International."

Sasuke and Sakura went to a restaurant together as a late anniversary dinner. He took her to a high class place outside the village wanting to make up for lost time. Sakura enjoyed her night as she talked catching Sasuke up as he talked to her briefly about his time in Mephesto. "All I thought of was you. Seeing you again was what drove me on over and over again. No matter what happened I kept my focus on you because I wanted to say, I love you. Your love saved me at my darkest time." Sasuke then pulled out a small black box. Opening it Sasuke revealed a heart shaped diamond ring. "I never want to leave your side again. Marry me." Sasuke said lovingly.

Sakura was unable speak. This was what she had wanted to hear her entire life and now it was happening. "I-I...Yes. Yes I will marry you!"

After dinner Sasuke escorted Sakura back home where the two told her parents who were uneased at how young the couple were. But soon they understood how the couple loved each other and gave there blessing.

Sasuke left Sakura and began walking home. The young ninja felt like he was walking on air. He passed by a man who asked, "How is everything tonight?"

"Couldn't be better." Sasuke replied.

"Excellent. And you remember our agreement?"

Sasuke stopped and turned to the man whose eyes were solid red. "Blackheart." The ninja hissed.

"Now is that anyway to treat the man who freed you?"

"Save it. How is Kakashi?" Sasuke snapped.

"He is being well taken care of. All you have to is stick to our agreement."

"I will bring you Naruto."

"Exellent Kakashi and I will be waiting."
