The Red Flames
Chapter 27

Sasuke P. O. V

I was now looking for Naruto and I stopped when I saw him on the swing.

I went towards him.

- Sorry, Grandma Tsunade... Nee-chan... I promised... I wouldn't die... until I become Hokage... - Naruto said.

I widened my eyes a bit and then looked at the Hokages faces.

- OH YEAH! THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI! THIS IS BAD! THE RELEASE JUTSU CAN'T BE ACTIVATED WITHOUT US BEING THERE, RIGHT?! - Naruto said. I smiled a bit and said.

-You're dead... and you're worried about what happens to the world?

- OF COURSE! We can't leave it like that! - Naruto said.

I looked at him and said.

- Hotaru, Kakashi and Sakura still remain. They'll figure something out.

- I hope so... how can you act like that when you're leaving your fiancée behind? - Naruto said looking at me.

I widened my eyes and looked the other way.

Because... it hurts too much to think about that.

Hotaru P. O. V

I started to wake up and saw that Sakura was healing Otou-san.

I slowly sat.

- Hotaru. Otou-san said.

- I'm fine, don't worry. - I said.

- Thank you... - Sakura said.

I smiled a bit and got up.

- Where are you going? - Sakura asked.

I looked at the sky and said.

- They finished it... I'm going there. When you're done and when you both can walk come to where we are. You know where right, Otou-san? - I said. He nodded, so I teleported near where they were.

I looked and I saw where they were... I widened my eyes... so it come to that huh?

so it come to that huh?

- Thanks Nee-chan. - Naruto said.

I was only looking at their massive wound.

- Never mind me... Hotaru... heal him. - Sasuke said.

-Shut up and stay quiet. - I managed to say.

- I'm sorry beautiful. Sasuke said.

-You... y-you better be... you duckbutt. - I said crying.

Naruto and Sasuke smiled.

After a while I was done. We all sat there and started talking.

- You know... once Kurama told me something which I found completely truth so I told Itachi what Kurama told me and he just smiled... something that was rare, he would never smile, just smirk. Do you guys want to know what it was? - I asked them both.

They nodded.

- Kurama said "You and Itachi have something in common." Now, I ask you guys. Do you know what is it? - I said.

They looked at each other but the both said no.

- Both of our brother are idiots! - I said smiling.

- HEEEEE?! NEE-CHAN THAT'S MEAN!!! - Naruto said.

I laughed and Sasuke smirked.

- Nii-san... arigato. - I said and he grinned.

- OH YEAH! Nee-chan congratulations! - Naruto said.

- Huh? I said confused.

Then he pointed to the ring on my finger.

- Sasuke got punched by Kakashi-sensei because of that! It was hilarious!!! - Naruto said.

- STRIKE 3! You know Nii-san, our Otou-san can be very scary. He punched Sasuke too! He's worse than Kaa-san when it comes to being mad! - I said.

- HEEE?! Really?! - Naruto said surprised.

- Yes! Sasuke got scared and all! - I said.

- Oi, oi... I'm right here. - Sasuke said.

We laughed.

- Do you understand now? - I asked Sasuke.

He then looked at me and he let a tear fall which I cleaned immediately and kissed his forehead, and then whispered.

- I take that as a yes love.

- You better treat her right or I'll rip off your other arm! - Naruto said.

I sweat dropped.

- I will. - Sasuke said which made me smile.

Then Sakura and Otou-san arrived and widened their eyes.

- Don't worry, they'll live. - I said and then I looked at Sasuke.

- I'm sorry. Sasuke said to Sakura and Kakashi.

- You should be... baka. - Sakura said.

I smiled.

- Now, let's go. - I said helping Sasuke while Sakura helped Naruto.

With that we went to where we were before.

Naruto and Sasuke then released the Infinite Tsukuyomi, after that Sasuke took the bijuu out of those stone balls and stopped controlling them.

Naruto and Sasuke then released the Infinite Tsukuyomi, after that Sasuke took the bijuu out of those stone balls and stopped controlling them They ran towards me and they were now all on top of me.

- I'm glad you're all okay. - I said smiling.

- GUYS! AHHH! STOP, YOU'RE HEAVY! - I said and with that they stopped.

Sasuke was now by my side.

- You did well kid. We're proud. - Kurama said which made me grin.

- You better treat her right brat! - Kurama said to Sasuke.

- I will... I'm sorry. - Sasuke said.

I looked at the sky and smiled... Itachi... we did it.

I hope you're all happy and proud.

It's finally over.

*2 Years After*

Hotaru P. O. V

2 years have passed.

The first year was basically funerals and construct Konoha and healing everyone.

After that Sasuke was arrested for what he did and Naruto has been in the hospital since Tsunade has discovered a way to give Naruto and Sasuke an arm. Otou-san is Hokage now and today we are having a meeting with the 5 Kage so they can free Sasuke once for all.

We were now at the meeting.

- Let's start. Otou-san said.

- I vote on killing Uchiha Sasuke! - Raikage said.

- WHAT?! me and Naruto said in unison.

- He deserves it! - Raikage stated.

- YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?! - I said.

- He saved you! He broke the Infinite Tsukuyomi! - Naruto said.

- I DON'T CARE! - Raikage said.

- WE SAVED YOU ALL AND YOU DON'T CARE?! HOW DARE YOU?! YOU OWE US THAT AT LEAST!!! - I said irritated.

- He tried to kill us! - Raikage stated.

- Maybe if you had been through what he did I bet you would do the same or worse! - Naruto said.

- He lost everything! His parents, his clan... all because the current elders and the Third Hokage from that time told his elder brother to do so! - I said frustrated. They all looked at me.

- Every village has his dark secrets. Yours is what Captain Yamato said when we went to you and BEGGED you to NOT kill Sasuke. YOU OWE KONOHA! - I said.

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly tried to attack me, but since I'm faster I reappeared behind him with a kunai against his neck and Naruto was also doing that, while Gaara had sand around me and Naruto to protect us. - YOU JUST TRIED TO ATTACK WHO SAVED YOU! Naruto said.

- What's the meaning of this, Kazekage?! What side are you on?! - Raikage said to Gaara.

- I won't let you hurt them. And I agree with them. - Gaara said making the sand stop surrounding me and Naruto, while me and Naruto put down our kunais.

- I agree as well, he did helped us. - Mizukage said.

- WHAT?! HE BROUGHT THE PREVIOUS HOKAGE'S BACK! - Raikage said.

- SO?! IT HELPED! - I said mad.

- HE COULD'VE USED AGAINST US AND YOU DIDN'T STOP HIM! WHY?! - Raikage asked.

- EVERYTHING WAS UNDER CONTROL! I WOULD HAVE NEVER LET HIM USE THEM AGAINST US! AS YOU SAW HE DID NOT! I HAD EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL! I said.

- Just because he's your fiancé doesn't mean he does not deserve to be punished! - Raikage argued.

- HE'S BEEN IN PRISON ALL THIS TIME!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE?! - I said.

- ENOUGH! - Otou-san said.

- Let's decide. - Gaara said.

- Who agrees on pardon Sasuke? - Otou-san asked.

- Me. - Mizukage said.

- I do. - Gaara stated.

- Me as well. - Otou-san said.

- Me too. - Tsuchikage said.

- YOU'RE ALL CRAZY! - Raikage said.

- They're right, he did help us. - Tsuchikage said.

- FINE! But if he does something wrong it's your responsibility! - Raikage said pointing at Otou-san.

- I understand that. - Otou-san said.

With that we left the meeting.

- Nee... Hotaru? - Otou-san said.

- Yeah?

- Did you really had everything under control? - Otou-san asked.

- OF COURSE I DID! - I said.

- You didn't... did you? - Naruto said.

- D-Doesn't matter now! The psycho duckbutt is normal and good now! - I said.

- You just lied to the Kages! - Otou-san said.

- I learned how to lie with the best! - I said winking at Otou-san.

They sweat dropped.

With that Naruto left, me and Otou-san went to prison to take Sasuke out of there.

On our way back Otou-san said.

- I know you guys wanted to marry after the war, would you want to marry in a week?

I widened my eyes and looked at Sasuke who was smiling and then of course we said yes.

*Wedding Day*

Hotaru P

Hotaru P. O. V

So today is the day!

Sasuke told me that tomorrow he'll be leaving since he needs to understand himself, I get it so I don't mind, I mean it's sad but it's okay.

Hinata has been helping me with the wedding dress.

She and Naruto are FINALLY together and also are going to marry SOON! Which makes me very happy, of course!

- Ready? - Hinata asked me.

I nodded slightly.

The wedding was simple and all of our friends were there, it went amazingly well and I'm now officially Uchiha Hotaru, which I'm not gonna lie... IT'S PRETTY COOL!

The party was now over, me and Sasuke went to his old house.

We were now there and he suddenly pins me to the wall and kisses me, but in need of air we then stopped.

- Someone is eager! Should we continue this is your bedroom? - I said amused.

- Our bedroom. And yes we shall. - he answered.

He picked me up bridal style and took me to the bedroom, he laid me down in the bed and we started kissing.

It heated pretty fast, our need for each other's touch was too much.

- Are you sure? - he asked.

I smiled at his question.

- Of course I am. I'm yours and you're mine. I'm 100% sure love. - I said.

He smiled and caressed my cheek, and started kissing me again.

Well........ let's just say that.... it was a busy and noisy wedding night! *Next Day*

Hotaru P. O. V

I woke up and notice that Sasuke was still asleep which made me smile.

Since he was leaving today I promised Naruto that I would go get him from the hospital.

I got up without him noticing but when I gave the first step my legs trembled and I almost fell.

I sweat dropped.

So that's what happens when you have sex all night long!

I managed to go to the bathroom and take a shower, then I ate breakfast.

I left a note in the bed so when Sasuke wakes up he can read it, with that I left and went to get Naruto.

Sasuke P. O. V

I woke up and looked beside me but Hotaru wasn't there, but there was a note.

"Love, I went to see how Naruto is doing and Tsunade asked me to help her with the artificial arm. I'm sorry I wasn't there to give you a good morning kiss. Last night was perfect, thank you love... for making me so happy.

I love you, always"

I smiled, you make me happy too beautiful.

I got ready and went to the gates to leave.

Sakura and Kakashi were already there.

- Good morning. - I said.

- Good morning. - they said in unison.

- I'll be blunt, you should still be in prison right now. But we have heard your plea and all your actions up to now have been pardoned. Breaking the jutsu for the Infinite Tsukuyomi played a big part in the decision. As well as the fact that I am your father in law and I happened to become the Sixth Hokage, and of course that Naruto and Hotaru, the key figures in ending the war, testified in your behalf. Including Hotaru even pointed a kunai against the Raikage's neck just to prove her point. Don't forget that. And please don't get too reckless. Otherwise, I'll be held responsible. - Kakashi explained.

- Understood. I'm sorry and thank you. - I said to him.

- Must you go? Hotaru and Tsunade-sama are almost done with the artificial arm. - Sakura said.

-

I need to understand my feelings. How I should view the shinobi world, this world. - I said.

- W-What if I said... I'd go with you? - Sakura said.

I raised an eyebrow, she does not give up does she?

- Oi, oi, Sakura. He's married to my daughter! - Kakashi said sweat dropping.

- Like Kakashi said, Hotaru is my wife now. Besides, this is a trip to atone for my sins. My sins have nothing to do with you. - I said.

She got depressed.

- Married... nothing to do with me. - Sakura said.

I sighed.

- Take care Sasuke. Kakashi said.

I nodded.

With that I left.

Hotaru P. O. V

I was on the top of a tree and Naruto was against the opposite tree then I heard.

-

I didn't think you'd come to see me off.

I looked down and saw Naruto giving Sasuke's head band to him

I looked down and saw Naruto giving Sasuke's head band to him.

- You kept that thing? - Sasuke asked surprised.

Sasuke accept it and I jumped off the tree and landed smoothly beside Naruto.

- H-Hotaru? - Sasuke said surprised.

I smiled.

-

I thought that you were helping Tsunade. - Sasuke said.

- How do you think Naruto got out of the hospital?! He needed my help, otherwise he couldn't. - I said amused.

- N-Nee-chan! I would have done it anyway! - Naruto said.

- No you wouldn't! - I said singing.

I went towards Sasuke and kissed him, after that I said.

- Good morning love..

He smiled.

- Good morning beautiful. Sasuke said.

- Here. This is for you. - I said and took out from my neck Itachi's necklace.

- That's... - Sasuke said.

I nodded.

- No, he gave it to you so you could have him closer. - Sasuke said.

- Love, I already am close to him, I have his eye powers! - I said.

He took it and put it on which made me smile.

- Oh, right! Nee-chan? - Naruto said.

- Yeah?

- I wanted to ask you this since I saw you... why are your legs trembling so much? - Naruto asked.

I blushed tremendously.

-N-No r-reason! - I said immediately.

Sasuke smirked.

- You bastard! What did you do to her?! - Naruto asked.

- Nothing bad... actually - Sasuke started.

- SASUKE! DON'T YOU DARE! - I said.

He then kissed my forehead.

- Just go home and rest beautiful. You'll be better tomorrow... I think. - Sasuke said.

I started blushing again which made him smirk.

- Take care, Naruto. - Sasuke said.

- You too, Sasuke. - Naruto said.

- Come back soon. I said to him.

-

I will. I love you beautiful. - Sasuke said.

- I love you too. - I said hugging him.

And after that he left.

- Nee-chan...

- Yeah?

- I'm glad... I'm happy.

I smiled.

-Me too Nii-san... and thank you. They're proud. - I said looking at the sky.

- Yeah... I bet they are. - he agreed.

- Now... LET'S GO EAT RAMEN!!! - I said.

- YES! DATTEBAYO! - Naruto said happy.

- YOU PAY!!! - I said grinning.

- HEEEE?! - he said.

-

I WON THE BET! REMEMBER?! - I said amused.

- F-Fine... he said.

We looked at each other and started laughing.

This is the start of a new life... a new journey ahead of us.
