Naruto grinned at the maiden lying in his arms, curled up to him like a tiny child, clutching onto his shirt, while he had his arms securely wrapped around her underneath the covers of their bed.

It had been a long time since the fourth Shinobi war and Konoha was in a time of peace. Once the war was over, the first thing young Uzumaki Naruto did was find Hyuga Hinata, the one and only girl to ever love him.

He was shocked when she confessed to him in front of Pein, and seeing Pein hurt her, it had pushed him over the edge. Here was a girl who loved him, truly loved a monster like him (even though he wasn't really one) and she had been stabbed. He saw red and let the Kyuubi's chakra consume him.

They had gone straight into war, and Naruto never had the chance to talk to Hinata about that day. Did she really mean it? He asked himself that countless times, until he finally reached her.

They had won the war, and once Konoha had recovered from the damages, Naruto had asked Hinata out. She of course said yes, and they eventually got married. Years later, they had a beautiful baby girl named Sunako (Wallflower SunakoxKyouhei tribute) and she was considered Konoha's sunflower.

As her father was the Rokudaime Hokage, and her mother was the first lady, she was always treated kindly within the village. Which was good that she wouldn't have to live a childhood like her father.

Speaking of fathers, he could remember the day he found out he was going to be a father.

~flashback~

Hinata nervously paced about the spacious apartment, or to be more precise their apartment. They were newly weds, just married, and were hoping to save up some money first before having kids. That's why Hinata was pacing nervously, she was pregnant.

She knew Naruto would love the child, but, it didn't ease her monetary worries. A child was expensive, and while both we're jounin it would be tough to make ends meet. Not to mention Naruto usually get's sent out on a mission for long periods of time, so, how will he be there to help raise a kid?

Those were the kind of thoughts that plagued Hinata Uzumaki-Namikaze's mind as she waited for her husband to arrive home.

It didn't take long before the front door swung open and in popped one Uzumaki Naruto in the flesh, all covered in dirt, grime, and blood from the mission. She smiled at him, greeting him with a kiss and telling him to wash up, and then she told him she had to talk to him about an important topic. He grinned and kissed her back, before nodding and heading off to take a quick shower.

Hinata sat down at the kitchen table, in one of the white and tan wicker chairs, and tapped her fingernails on the table, while gently resting her left hand across her stomach, rubbing back and forth absentmindedly while waiting for Naruto to emerge from the shower.

Pretty soon she heard the door open, and the pattering of feet, before her view of the kitchen sink was blocked by a very toned, and very naked, upper body of one Uzumaki Naruto.

"Hina-chan, I missed you so much! Whatever it is you have to tell me, it'll be okay." Naruto grabbed her hand in his and rubbed his thumb over it soothingly before kissing her hand, urging her to go on, but never letting the hand go.

"Well Naruto-kun, I, well I'm pregnant. About one month along to be exact." Hinata sheepishly peeked up from her previous position with her head lowered, to see Naruto's face contort into shock, as if processing the information. Then his shock slowly turned into a grin before he picked her up and spun her around over and over again, shouting I'm gonna be a dad!

She grinned and kissed him passionately, which he eagerly returned before they had to break apart for air. Hinata then let out her worries.

"But, Naruto-kun, can we afford a child? I know we were planning to wait. Will we be good parents? I've never had much of a family, and I know you never had parents, and, and will yo-" Hinata was silenced by another kiss from Naruto, this one chaste and loving.

"Hina-chan, relax. We'll manage it, okay? We can do it, if I have to I'll pick up an extra missions, and you know that I will be Hokage soon, I'm just starting my training. You'll be a great mother Hina-chan!" Hinata giggled and Naruto and couldn't help but smile as he eased her fears, just like he always had since they were little.

"And you know something Hina-chan?" Hinata looked at him, her eyes questioning.

"What is it, Naruto-kun?" Naruto half grinned. "At first, I wanted a little girl, a beautiful little girl who looked just like you, but then I thought about it and I'd prefer a boy, because, if she's half as beautiful as you are, then she'll have guys chasing after her. And as a father, I don't know if I can handle that." Hinata laughed and shook her head at her husband, who was now kneeling down in front of her tummy, resting his head there, his arms wrapped around her thighs.

"Naruto-kun, if she's like me, then she'll find a boy like you who will always treat her right. And, well, that's not something you'll have to worry about until sixteen years from now." Naruto laughed.

"You're right Hinata-chan...I worried for nothing." And with that he kissed her stomach, staying in that position. He was truly happy, it was one of the happiest days of his life.

"...Okaa-san you can't tell Otou-san. He will kill him!" Sunako said, her long waist length blonde hair tied in a low french braid, with her side bangs all swooped to one side with a blue and white tiger Lilly on the opposite side of her bangs. She had pale blue eyes, and tan skin, like her father. She was the spitting image of her father, save for her brains, she definitely inherited that from her mother.

Their 12 year old son, however, Tadashi was the complete opposite of his older sister, with his black spiky hair and pale pupil-less eyes. He was quiet and shy only to strangers. He didn't like to be the center of attention like his sister did. Hinata clapped her hands together and smiled!

"Suna-chan that's great news! Your first kiss, its a magical thing, dear. Always treasure it. I promise not to tell your father, but he will find out eventually you know." Sunako nodded at her mother, grinning.

Hinata loved both her children equally the same, but there was just nothing like the close mother daughter bond they had. Hinata had never really known a mother's touch, and Naruto never had parents, so Hinata made sure she and Naruto we're always in the kids lives, and that they wouldn't have to suffer what both did as Children. They wanted only the best for their son and daughter.

"Kaa-chan. I-I-I think I l-love him. But how do you know w-when you love someone? How did you know you loved Tou-san?" Sunako said, her shy side coming out (something of her mother) and a cute light red blush adorning her cheeks. Hinata smiled at her daughter, happy that she had found someone to love like she had. And she knew Kyouhei Uchiha very well. He was a polite boy, good and strong, he was just like Sasuke though, cold, stoic, and a fun sucker. But like mother like daughter, opposites attract.

"Well Suna-chan, when I was a mere academy student, I...well...it's hard to explain but as soon as I laid eyes on your father I knew that he was my one. At first it was just admiration, I admired everything about him, and then the more I got to know him the more my feelings developed and before I knew it I was in love with your father. Suna-chan, it's not something I can really explain, but, when your with that person, that special someone, you just know. Your heart will tell you if he's the right one or not." Hinata said, frowning that she couldn't really help her daughter all that much.

"Thanks Kaa-san! I'm going to meet up with Inoko-chan! We're going to train for a bit, I'll be out late so don't wait up for me kay?" Sunako said, grabbing her katana and hugging her mom before dashing out the door. A huge smile adorning her face. Hinata couldn't help but smile in return.

"Kaa-san I'm hungry!" Tadashi said, his nose currently stuck in one of his favorite manga's 'Wallflower' (but he wouldn't let anyone know that, it was his secret)

"What would you like Tada-kun?" Hinata responded walking into the kitchen and putting on her orange and yellow polka dotted apron. It was absolutely god awful looking but Naruto had picked it out for her when they first got married and she loved it.

"Ramen...and maybe some Lo Mein noodles." Hinata grinned and nodded, getting to work on making dinner. She glanced at the clock hanging on the green wall of the kitchen, and grinned. Naruto would be home soon, and just in time for dinner!

---

Sunako jumped from rooftop to rooftop, absolutely elated at the events of earlier this morning. She blushed at the mere memory of it. The way he had pushed her up against the wall, the way he had his face so close to hers, and the way he looked into her eye's and told her to, 'shut up.' and then kissing her. She couldn't help but want to squeal. She would tell Inoko later, taking this time to privately reminisce about it herself.

~Flashback~

She was mad. Furious. Once again Kyouhei Uchiha had humiliated the crap out of her. She had had enough of it. She had liked Kyouhei since the first day of their last year in the academy when she actually got to know Kyouhei. He was popular with all the girls, much like his father was and still is, and all the girls fawned over him, though he showed no interest in them. Despite that, however, Kyouhei just loved to tease Sunako. This was the last straw.

"Y-you I-Idiot! Your wrong! That never happened on the mission." Sunako said, crossing her arms in a huff, defending herself against his ruthless barrage of the retelling of their couple mission, all about how she spluttered and nearly failed the mission because she couldn't muster up the courage to play the role of wife to Kyouhei for this undercover mission.

"Heh, your weak and annoying. You almost cost me the mission." Kyouhei said, his demeanor and gaze stoic as ever, his green eyes as cold as ever. Unlike many believed, Kyouhei had inherited his mother's eyes which were a recessive trait, and was unheard of, because all the Uchiha had onyx eyes. Even his younger sister had onyx eyes.

"At least I have a heart! You don't feel emotions! Your a heartless bastard, and I hate you!" Sunako shouted, now stopping to stare at his back, face red and chest heaving up and down. Kyouhei turned around, slowly, his face unreadable, his spiky raven hair being blown by the slight breeze. He was the exact carbon copy of his father, except for his eyes.

He took a step towards her, calmly, and she took a step back for every step he took forward before he had her pinned against the wall, his right arm supporting himself on the wall, on the side of her head, and his other hand was free. He looked at her for a long time, quiet, eyes staring into her endless pale blue ones. And then he smirked. That cocky annoying smirk she hated and he took his free hand and put two fingers under her chin, lifting her head up to his, showing to him a faint blush she was trying to desperately hide.

"Then, try and hate this." and with that he quickly pressed his lips to hers, his soft ones meeting her equally soft ones. Sunako's eyes went wide as saucers, and her face grew an unhealthy tomato red, before he pulled away.

He looked at her, stoic on the outside, but absolutely melting on the inside, falling head over heels for this girl.

Damn her, he hated her for that. For making his heart race, and making him feel...things he's never felt before. She was annoying to him for that. But when she had said she hated him, his heart broke just a little, and that just wouldn't do. Because Sunako was only allowed to love him, Kyouhei Uchiha. No one else. She was his. All his.

Sunako couldn't speak, her brain and body frozen in place against the wall. Kyouhei smirked and walked away, but not before coyly turning around and uttering one word. "Merong." He simply said, turning his back to her again, secretly grinning and just now allowing his blush to surface. He loved how speechless she got. It let him know he had that affect on her. (A/N: Merong in Korean is like the equivalent of making fun of someone or like :P yanno?)

Sunako didn't know how long she stayed there, standing against the wall, her fingers coming up to touch her lips, already missing the feeling of Kyouhei's on hers. She was so shocked, she couldn't believe it. But she had to tell someone quick or she was going to burst, so she dashed back home to her Kaa-san. If anyone knew what to do, it would be Kaa-san.

---

"Welcome back Kyo-kun!" Sakura called from the kitchen, hearing the front door open and seeing her eldest son standing in the doorway. He smiled at her, deep down he was a momma's boy.

"Hn. Kaa-san, I see your making food. What are we having tonight?" Sakura smiled as she chopped up tomato's and replied, "Your father get's back from his week long mission so I'm making his favorite dish, spaghetti." Kyouhei nodded, inwardly cheering. Like father like son, Kyohei loved tomato's and his Kaa-san's spaghetti sauce was the best. Too bad he didn't know that before cooking lessons with Hinata, his mother was a horrid cook and had nearly poisoned team 7 on multiple occasions.

"Kaa-san! Kaa-san!" Manami called, running down the steps and into the kitchen, her little feet padding against the floor. Manami was ten years old and she was just like her mother, loud, and she had a temper when she was mad. Despite inheriting her dad's raven hair and onyx eyes, she had Sakura's face. Her hair was short like Sakura had her hair when she was little, with the same red ribbon tied in her hair Ino had given her. "Today, at the academy, Tadashi played this prank on me and he glued my hand to my desk! It won't come off!" at this, Manami held up her hand to see the block of wood that had to be cut from the desk.

Kyohei chuckled a bit, seeing the block of wood. It was too damn funny. Sakura outright laughed. "Oh Mana-chan, let me fix that." she motioned for Manami to come into the kitchen and she put down the wooden spoon she was stirring the pot of sauce with and allowed green chakra to flow through her hands, dissolving away the glue and heeling the skin that came off with it.

It paid off to have the head of Konoha's hospital as your mother.

"Hn. What did our little Manami get herself into this time?" Sasuke said, appearing silently in the kitchen, and stood behind his daughter who had green healing chakra around her hand. She pulled her hand from her mother's and turned to face her daddy, arms crossed and she let out a harrumph.

"Tadashi glued my hand to my desk at the academy today!" Sasuke sighed and knelt down in front of the ten year old. "And what did you do in return?" Sasuke questioned, Manami grinned.

"I spit a fireball at him Tou-san just like you told me to!" Sasuke smiled and patted her head saying that's my girl, but then received a good smack on the head from Sakura. "Baka! Don't be telling our daughter to do such things." Sasuke sighed. The dope's son was such a devious little thing.

"Anyway I made your favorite tonight, Spaghetti." Sasuke smirked and hugged his wife gratefully, then he started walking upstairs to wash up, followed by his two children who were told to do the same by their mother before dinner.

Ah The Uchiha family at their finest.

---

Shinji sighed as he lied down on the couch, wanting nothing more than to sleep. The academy always took a lot out of him, and he found it all troublesome. The academy was so boring to him.

His peace was interrupted however when his loud and obnoxious sister, Inoko burst through the door. "Kaa-san! You are NOT going to believe what I found out today." Ino smiled as she came down the steps, looking beautiful as always. Her hair was still in a pony, only this time it was low and to the side of her head, resting on her shoulder, and her bangs were flipped to the opposite side.

"Yes, dear?" Inoko was an EXACT carbon copy of her mother. Loud, blonde, determined, and obsessed with looking good. The only thing she inherited of her father was his shadow possession jutsu and his smarts, where as her younger brother inherited her mother's mind possession jutsu.

"Kyohei kissed Sunako!" Ino's mother's jaw dropped at this. "No way! Ahhh Inoko-chan this is so juicy! I gotta tell your aunt Sakura. She'll just die." as she said this, Shikamaru walked through the door. Having grown up with his wife, he knew the look on her face very well. He sighed at his troublesome lover. Why did he get married? It was so troublesome.

"Tou-san, make them stop. I'm trying to sleep." Shinji called, his tone that of a whine. Shikamaru sympathized with his son, unfortunately there was nothing he could do.

"Ahh Shika-kun welcome home. You won't believe what I just heard. Kyohei kissed little Sunako!" now normally Shikamaru was reserved but at this he did allow himself to show a little surprise.

"Ya don't say huh? No matter, just let them be. It's to troublesome. Son, take this advice...woman are troublesome. Never get married." Ino whacked Shikamaru on the arm for that one. The look she gave him promised pain if he continued. And no sex. He couldn't live if his wife withheld that from him...again.

He sighed and shook his head. His wife may be troublesome, but she was worth it. Having the family he has now, a son and daughter he loves dearly, a little troublesome doesn't hurt anyone.

---

Kyohei knew he was in for trouble the moment his mother came barging into his room demanding to know more about his little kiss with Sunako. Tch. Like hell he would talk to his...mom...about that sort of thing. The only one he had told was his best friend Hiroaki Hyuga.

"Hn." was his reply. His mother glared shaking her head at him. Like father, like son.

"Kyohei Uchiha you tell me right this instant or I'll give your baby pictures to Sunako-chan." Kyohei's face twisted into alarm. No. Anything but those. Damn his mom was good, no wonder she had managed to melt his fathers icy heart.

"I...we were arguing. She was making me mad and said she hated me. I erm backed her against the wall and told her to "hate this" and then I kissed her and um walked away and said Merong." His mothers face twisted into glee as she clapped her hands like a little school girl. She knew Kyohei would come to love Sunako one day. She giggled. When they we're young, Sakura had always joked to Naruto how her son would end up marrying his daughter. He always vehemently denied the idea, saying his daughter wasn't dating until he was thirty.

She came to the conclusion that Sasuke was the same way with his daughter, so it must have been a guy thing.

"I can't wait until you have to face Naruto. He's very protective of his daughter." Kyohei paled at that, but would never let anyone know he was absolutely scared of his godfather. Not a bad fear, just a fear when it came to his daughter. Because Naruto protected his daughter closely against any boy that so much as looks her way.

"Hn. Don't remind me." Sakura giggled. "Your father was shaking in the knees when he had to ask your Grandpa for my hand in marriage. He would never admit it, but he was scared shitless. The first ANBU captain was scared shitless of a civilian man. Go figure." Kyohei smirked at that. Good, at least his father had been scared too.

"Where is Tou-san?" Sakura pointed behind her. "He's out back training with your sister. Maybe you could talk to him about this. I know you hate talking about your feelings, but your father understands you very well, you may feel better after talking to him." Kyohei nodded standing up, he had long since surpassed his mother in height, having inherited his father's tall stature that his father had received from his deceased grandfather.

He walked passed his mom and out towards the back. He didn't want to talk to his dad, but he knew his mother was right. And he couldn't disobey his mother because deep down...

...he was a mamma's boy...

---

Hinata smiled to herself as she made dinner, elated that her daughter had finally found someone to love and take care of her. She giggled to herself to, picturing how Naruto would react when he found out his daughter was in love with his rivals son. Not to mention the wrath the boy would have to endure.

She couldn't help but laugh, Naruto throwing on Rasenshuriken after another at the boy saying there was no way in hell he would let Teme's son date his daughter. With Sunako following her dad screaming to stop. And then Sakura would give him a good smack, Sasuke would just roll his eyes and get into a fight with Naruto, and Hinata would just watch this all happen.

Yes she could picture it now.

"I'm home Hinata-chan! Mm mm something smells good. Whatcha makin?" Hinata smiled and looked back over her shoulder at her husband, watching him take of his father's white and red jacket and hanging it on the wall.

"Ramen with a side of Lo Mein noodles." The Hokage whooped in approval at his Hinata-chan's homemade Ramen and proceeded to hug his wife from behind, resting his head on her shoulder.

"How was work today love?" She asked, straining the Lo Mein noodles as she did so.

"Same old Paperwork. I swear Hina even with my clones I still can't get it all done. But the good news is that I just signed an alliance with Kirikagure. I know we've had our differences in the past, but the new Mizukage is a nice young lady who holds no grudge against Konoha." Hinata smiled and congratulated her husband. He truly was the greatest Hokage Konoha had ever seen. He had done WONDERS for the village.

"How were the kids today?" Hinata smiled as she recalled hearing of her daughters first kiss. God she was growing up! Hinata could remember when she was just a tiny infant, no older than a few months old.

"They we're fine. Tada-kun stayed home and relaxed today, and our little Sunako returned for her mission." Naruto nodded. "How is Suna-chan these days? I feel like I hardly see her anymore. I remember when she was just a little toddler learning to walk for the first time. Remember Hina-chan she knocked over your favorite vase?"

Hinata smiled and nodded recalling that rather funny incident. "Well dear, our Suna-chan is growing up. She's nearly seventeen now. She has missions, life, and friends, she no longer needs us by her side 24/7." Naruto nodded. He just couldn't let go of his little girl, his first born.

"Can we have another child Hina?" Hinata nearly dropped the spoon she was stirring the ramen with in the pot and blushed. But she smiled, they had always wanted a huge family.

"Someday I suppose yes. But let's wait until Tada-kun is out of the academy, ne?" Naruto nodded and squeezed her tighter before finally letting her go.

"I'm going to wash up for dinner. I stink." Hinata laughed and motioned for him to go upstairs. This would give her enough time to set the table.

She loved her family, and she wouldn't trade them for the world.

---

"Tou-san?" Kyohei called as he walked into the backyard. His little sister was panting heavily and had burns around her mouth. Looked like the little tyke was finally learning Katon jutsu.

"Hai?" His father asked, not taking his eyes off of his younger daughter, Manami, as she performed the seals again for Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu.

"Can I talk to you, erm...privately?" Sasuke finally looked at his son and nodded before bending down to kneel in front of Manami and patted her head, telling her she was doing great and to keep practicing. And to go to her mother to heal her burns. Manami nodded and bounded back into the house, smiling at her older brother who smiled back.

"What's this about Kyohei?" Sasuke said, crossing his arms and taking a seat on one of the training logs. Kyohei walked out to where his father was and sat next to him, almost as tall as his father but not quite yet.

They always say your kids will pass their parents in height.

"Well, when did you know you loved Kaa-san?" Sasuke rose his eyebrows at his son, totally not expecting his son to be asking about love of all things. To probably the most emotionally stunted person when it came to love (prior to marrying Sakura, that it).

"Hn. After Orochimaru had kidnapped her right before my eyes, and when I thought I would loose her. Why?" Kyohei rubbed his head in frustration, preparing to drop the bomb.

"Well when I'm around this one girl, she makes my heart feel funny, almost light. And my stomach feels weird, and I always want to be around her and her smile makes me happy. A-and I kissed her..." Now Sasuke definitely wasn't expecting that. His son was like him in every aspect. Skill, looks (minus the eyes), attitude, even appetite. However unlike Sasuke, his son was raised in a caring environment so he wasn't a total ice cube.

"Who is this girl?" Kyohei dropped his head and sighed.

"Sunako-chan." Sasuke allowed his eyes to widened at that. Sunako? The dope's daughter of all people? No. No this couldn't happen, because then he would be related to the idiot. He refused.

"The dope's daughter?" Kyohei nodded, trying to hide his blush. Just her name made his cheeks feel a little hot.

"We're you scared when you asked Ojii-san for permission to marry her?" Sasuke looked at his son. Debating. Should he say he was or brush it off? On one hand his son was trying really hard to figure this out and swallow his pride, on the other hand he didn't want his son to think he was a wimp. But he supposed if his son was trying he would too.

"Terrified. I was a wreck on the inside. He was very protective of your mother, but once I...told him I loved her with all my heart...he said okay. But not before chasing me around the kitchen with a knife first." Kyohei had to chuckle at that. The mental image was to funny.

"But, don't tell Kaa-san but I'm terrified of Naruto-Oji-san." Sasuke looked at his song sternly and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Son, we are Uchiha men. We are stronger than the Uzumaki's. You can do it." Kyohei nodded.

"Thanks...Tou-san." And then he did something he hadn't done since he was a little kid, and as much as Sasuke denies it, he missed the hugs his son used to give him. He stood up and hugged his father, who was surprised at first but returned the hug.

Then Kyohei jumped from rooftop to rooftop. He had a mission he needed to complete. He couldn't stand her not being his any longer.

---

The Uzumaki's we're eating dinner, as always, being loud and obnoxious telling stories, with their ever quiet mother just smiling, nodding, and laughing along.

She loved the noise, welcomed it even. Growing up in a house full of silence, and having silent dinners, she had welcomed the change and enjoyed watching her most precious people banter.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hinata had volunteered to go get it and opened the big wooden door to see none other than Kyohei standing outside, looking like a nervous wreck.

She smiled, it looked like Sasuke's son was a fast worker, asking permission to date his daughter already. "Ahh Kyohei-kun, welcome. Come on in." Hinata said, hugging the boy who returned the hug. Of all his aunts he liked his Aunt Hinata the best.

"Am I interrupting?" He asked, peering into the kitchen to see the family eating dinner.

"Not at all, dear. Hold on a second." Hinata walked into the kitchen and told Sunako-chan that she had a visitor, while her father was having an animated conversation with his youngest child and first born son, Tadashi.

Sunako walked into the foyer and gasped at who was standing there. A blush forming on her cheeks. What was Kyohei-kun doing here? And why did he look nervous?

"Kyohei-kun? What are you doing here?" Kyohei looked at Sunako and smirked, rarely ever smiling. The way she said his name made his insides turn to jelly.

"Ahhh hello Sunako. Is your father around? I'd like to speak with him." Sunako nodded, grabbing Kyohei's hand and leading him into the kitchen, both teens blushing at the contact.

"Tou-san Kyohei-kun is here." Naruto looked up from his food and smiled.

"Well if it isn't my nephew. How ya been squirt?" Kyohei scowled at his old nickname. He was seventeen now, not five.

"Hn. Don't call me that." Naruto smirked.

"Until you can beat me in a one on one fight, I will not." Sunako giggled at her love interest and her father.

"Can we talk for a minute? Privately?" Naruto looked at the serious face on Kyohei and nodded, motioning him into his office/study. Whatever paperwork he couldn't finish at the tower he brought home to work on them in his spare time.

They walked into the room and Naruto pulled out two chairs for them to sit down in.

"What can I do for ya?" He asked his nephew, curious as to why he was here so late in the evening. Kyohei suddenly tensed. He looked a little nervous.

"Ano, Naruto-Oji-sama, I would l-like to ask for permission to date your daughter, sir." Naruto looked at Kyohei before laughing. He was busting at the seams.

"Good joke, kid. But seriously what is it?" Kyohei sighed.

"I was being serious." Naruto's face suddenly went stoic, the aura in the room changing to an ominous one, and his body went rigid. Kyohei didn't show it, but he was shaking like a leaf.

But he was a Uchiha, and Uchiha's always got what they wanted.

"Hell no! Why should I let you, Teme's son, date my daughter?" Kyohei faced Naruto head on. "Because we both love each other." Naruto laughed.

"Sunako-chan? No way she isn't even interested in boys yet." Kyohei sweat dropped at his uncle. Sometimes he really was thick headed.

"Did she tell you me and her kissed?" Naruto's eyes flared at this. "YOU WHAT?!" Naruto wasted no time in hurling Kunai at Kyohei, before Kyohei ran out of the room and out in the backyard.

By now the whole family had come to watch the ordeal. Hinata was right. Naruto was chasing Kyohei who was running for dear life, and once Hinata had told her daughter of what they had talked about (she had eased dropped) and then her daughter ran after her father pleading for him to stop.

And then wouldn't you know it in pop's Sakura-chan and Sasuke with their younger daughter Manami who instantly rushed for Tadashi's side.

"What the? NARUTO!" Sakura shouted, her anger mark appearing. Having been on the receiving end of her world famous chakra filled punches more than once, Sasuke knew to back up and go stand next to his friend, Hinata.

Sakura had caught up to Naruto and gave him a good smack on the head, causing him to tumble to the ground with a lump on his forehead.

"Sakura-chaaaaan what was that for?" Naruto asked, rubbing his head, momentarily forgetting about Kyohei who had made his way to Sunako's side and slipped an item into her hand.

"BAKA! What are you doing attacking my son?" Naruto growled and looked towards his daughter to see her smiling and looking into Kyohei's eyes while Kyohei for once wasn't smirking but slightly smiling.

"He kissed my daughter." Sakura sighed. "Idiot. Let them be. She's going to be seventeen now. You have to let her grow up." Naruto scowled and crossed his arms like a child, turning his head away from his sister and teammate.

She whacked him upside the head again told him to stop acting like a child. Sasuke was proud of his wife, besides Hinata, the only woman who was really capable of giving the dope a good beating was his beloved wife.

"Naruto-kun, just look at them..." Hinata said softly, having gone to her husbands side to heal the lump forming on his head. He turned to his left and saw Sunako laughing and smiling at Kyohei as he told her something. Naruto hated to admit it, but his daughter was happy.

"She'll be seventeen soon, but just because shes grown up doesn't mean she won't always be your little girl." Naruto hated when his wife was right.

"Kyohei, come here." Kyohei nodded and hesitantly stood in front of the Hokage. The Hokage lifted him by his shirt and had a stern glare.

"If you make her cry even once, so help me squirt I will hurt you. And don't you dare ever think of violating her. Your both too young for that." Sasuke and Sakura had to agree there, even Hinata. They were still young, and had so much more to live for first.

"Hai." Kyohei said as Naruto put the boy back on the ground, and Sunako came up to him, hugging him and smiling as he hugged her back.

Though Naruto didn't like it, he knew his daughter was growing up, and he watched as his daughter stood on her tip toes and kissed a blushing Kyohei in front of all the adults.

They couldn't help but smile at the young couple though, after everything.

Ahh to be be young and in love.

Epilogue: Two years later (they are 18 and 19)

---

Sunako and Kyohei had been dating for two years. They had good times and bad times, and of course Naruto's continuing threats towards him kept the two together.

Kyohei and Sunako were a nervous wreck. It was one thing to ask for her father's permission for them to date, but it was another thing to tell him that he had gotten his daughter pregnant. Before marriage.

"Kyohei you little asshole! Get back here! How dare you defile my daughter!" Naruto shouted as he sent a dozen Rasenshuurikens shooting at his nephew, who narrowly dodged them all as he ran.

They say the chase had gone on for three hours around Konoha, and that it became known as the great Uchiha race.

But that dear reader's is another story, for another time.
