I Do Not Own Naruto

.

Blooming in Light

.

Leaning against the solid chest of her husband as his single arm wrapped around her she watched as Naruto's son and Itachi's son played with her daughters.

Sarada had ebony hair, onyx eyes and her face. While Satomi had her pink hair, onyx eyes and her father's face.

Boruto and Isamu yelped as he was the girls chased after them.

It had been three years since the night of the attack, three years since Yagura's attempt to steal the Sharingan and Isobu. Since Yagura's death though, life had smoothed out considerably around her and them as she watched the children play.

Sakura smiled as she watched Kizashi join the fray while Kakashi sat with Satomi taking her perch in his lap.

Since the death of Yagura she had found herself more at ease with the Haruno family. So much so that it didn't feel like a strain, though they mourned the loss of their real son Haruki, they did not mourn the imposter who had been posing as their child. They had seemed rather offended and infuriated. But once everything was sorted out between them and here she did not mind her weekly teas with the Haruno family, she could even go without Kakashi or Sasuke escorting her.

Also, since the death of Yagura her husband had been down an arm, not that it really slowed him down. She knew that he still worked in the elite force of the ANBU and he reported solely to Kakashi. What he did, she didn't know and didn't ask. If he ever felt like sharing what it was he did with her then she would listen to him. Until then though she wouldn't press him. However, he reminded her that he loved her once a day, and she did the same for him. They weren't going to lose sight of what was important to them.

Gaara had married recently, she had attended the wedding last month and she had been happy for her fellow jinchūriki. It also made her feel better knowing that he was happy and not alone.

Shikamaru and Temari were officially an item, they were testing out their relationship slowly.

Because of Gaara's wedding Ino and Sai were together, officially. Kiba had tried to instigate Ino's jealousy, when she asked to prove she wasn't in love with him still, because it had been nearly four years since she had dated anyone, he had said to kiss someone. She had kissed Sai, Sai had kissed her back and the rest was history.

Kakashi was good, he was a happy grandfather and Sakura knew he loved playing hide-and-go-seek with Satomi and Sarada, who played it to conceal their chakra. It was all fun and games to him and she loved him for it. After the twins had been born he had all but lived at their house helping her and Sasuke out as they adjusted to life with babies, one arm and a new, restricting seal. It hadn't been easy and she knew if it hadn't been for Kakashi she would have gone insane.

Itachi was officially the Fifth Hokage, he was currently working on closing the war at this moment, but she didn't think it was going away anytime soon. The villages just would never get alone, and there were too many past offenses from the others to forgive. Still, Sakura commended her brother-in-law for trying. She gave him more respect though because he was currently taking on Uzumaki Naruto as his protégé, and Kami knew it took the patience of a Kami to handle Naruto at times.

Speaking of Naruto he had done well for himself over the last three years. He and Hinata had a handsome son who looked exactly like Naruto named Boruto, and he was a sweetheart at the moment. Naruto and Hinata's marriage was one of the strongest she had ever seen, and they still had that cute air of innocence around them in everything they did. They were currently expecting their second child.

Uchiha Izumi was a busy mother of a handful six year old and a clingy year old now, both traits she said came from Itachi. Isamu and his brother, Isao were both quiet, but then all Uchiha seemed to be inclined to being silent. They were a menaces according to Izumi though but Sakura didn't see how that was when they were so sweet.

Kisame was getting married this coming fall, to Anko of all women. That was something no one had seen coming until it hit them all.

As to what had happened Mei, and Ao, they had all disappeared shortly after Sasuke was not sleep deprived and his body was used to one arm. Sakura had never asked what happened because she was relatively certain she knew.

Which was why she just leaned back against him and watched their daughters play.

.

Sasuke kept his arm secure around his wife, his hand resting on the slight swell of her stomach where their third child was residing at the moment and watched as his daughters tormented Boruto and chased Isamu or sat with Kakashi. He loved this, it was all so peaceful that he couldn't look away as he watched them.

They were so innocent, they were so sweet, and he could never remember that being him.

He was going to defend it with everything he was, and everything he could be as he watched them all play and laugh. This was the most beautiful thing in his life and he was going to continue to enjoy savoring it as he watched them and kissed his wife's head.

"I love you," she murmured.

"I love you," he whispered back and his fingers slid over her shirt absently. He was hoping for a son, but he'd be happy with healthy. She giggled a little when he slipped under her shirt to trace her skin and he smirked as he pressed his lips to her hair to hide his smile of contentment.

This was beauty to him, and it was serenity.

This was perfection.
