"That's right! I wouldn't expect anything less from Kakashi's student!" Roared Guy Sensei who was seated in a wheel chair and I walked on over to where they were.

"Well she has become one of our strongest kunoichi and is becoming well-known," said Tenten like a proud mother.

"You guys were watching the whole time?" I meekly asked and started to grow somewhat embarrassed.

"Yeah! You did great out there!" Complimented Tenten.

"You have a way with kids," smiled Neji and I made an 'eh' face because I wasn't one hundred percent sure about that.

"Haha maybe right now I do, but not when I was a kid," I nervously chuckled. "I tried beating the shit out of a classmate of mine during my academy days, so I wouldn't exactly say I have a way with kids."

"No way! I wish I could've in your year during the academy to see that! That little shit probably deserved it," huffed Tenten.

"Even at such a young age, you were still kicking ass!" Sniffled Guy Sensei with animated tears running down his cheeks and I sheepishly scratched the back of my head.

"It was all pent up anger and pain that I bottled up inside and I took it out on her which probably wasn't the best idea."

"Clearly not," agreed Neji who placed his hands on my shoulders and led me with his team for a bite to eat.

~Two Months Later~

"People are so tiring," I rested my chin on the palm of my hand with my elbow propped on the edge of a round table right outside of a bakery. "I thought Naruto would be the only one to gain so much popularity but I somehow got mixed into it."

"Well, y-you were part of the war and you played a big part in it," said Hinata as she grabbed a cinnamon roll from the center of the table and placed one of everyone's plate consisting of me, Kiba, Shino and Akamaru who lay on the floor as he warmed himself up with the sun.

"Where's my fame and glory?" Sulked Kiba as he slammed his forehead on the table before a light bulb appeared over his head and he immediately raised his head. "Wait! If I marry you (Y/n), then that means I'll be famous too right?"

"Pfft, watch them not bat an eye in your direction even if you were to marry me," I smirked as I took a bite of my cinnamon roll and he pulled at his hair.

"It wouldn't be a surprise," Shino sipped on his green tea and an irk marked appeared on Kiba's forehead followed by a growl escaping his lips.

~Two weeks later~

"Last one, what do you think this is?" I held up a whiteboard and on the whiteboard was a drawing of the back of his hair.

"A duck's butt?"

"It's your hair! That's how it looks like!" I cackled an ugly laugh and he scowled at me from behind bars.

The door creaking open prompted me to look to my left and I saw Ibiki and Kakashi Sensei enter.

"Sasuke Uchiha, your sentence is officially over and you're being released now." Ibiki unlocked his cell and undid the straightjacket that was on Sasuke.

Sasuke stretched his arms out and we could hear them pop and so did every inch of his body.

"Let's go," instructed Kakashi Sensei who held the door open and led us out of the prison.

Sasuke was finally able to step outside after almost a year. The bright sun burned his eyes and he held his arm over his eyes as they slowly adjusted to his surrounding.

"Congrats on no longer being a prisoner!" Shouted my friends who were waiting outside.

Sasuke remained standing next to me with his usual stoic face faltering at the sight of them. "I... didn't expect anyone to come see me."

"If you're going to be part of us again then we might as well show you some camaraderie," shrugged Shikamaru who extended his arm out to him.

Sasuke stared at his hand for a couple of seconds and slowly extended his arm out and shook his hand.

"The infamous Uchiha returns," said Neji as he patted Sasuke's shoulder.

"And guess what? He agreed to get the prosthetic arm!" I announced to them.

"How?! He didn't want to because he kept saying it was a reminder of what happened and to atone for sins!" Fussed Naruto with his arms over chest.

"I agreed to marry him," I said with a closed eyed smile as I latched onto his arm.

"WHAT?!" Drastically shouted everyone and I started to burst into a fit of laughter as I took in their horrified expressions.

"NOOO!"

"That son of a bitch!"

"I'm kidding!" I let go of Sasuke's arm and fanned my face to cool myself down. "He barely got out of prison and you guys are going to end up sending him back."

"Because that's not suppose to happen!" Shouted Kiba with Akamaru barking in agreement.

"Settle down morons," chided Sakura and the boys suspiciously eyed the Uchiha.

"It's crazy to think how we were battling in a war just a year ago," I aimlessly stared up at the sky and every memory and moment from the war flashed before my eyes before I recalled the bittersweet memories from my childhood.

The sacrifices, the loss, the heart wrenching pain, the heartbreak, the tears, the love, the hard work, and the struggles. I experienced all of that in my eighteen years of life and all of that was....
