Natsuko and Gaara's Wedding

"Are we really surprised?" Tsunade asked looking at the wedding invitation sitting in the middle of the hokage room. She and Jiraiya having finally tied the knot a few months after Naruto. It was now seven months after Naruto and Hinata's wedding, and sitting in front of Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Tobirama, Hashirama, and Hirizen. Was an invitation from the sand to the Kazekage's wedding to Natsuko. 

"The way those two'd look at each other when they were kids, no, I'm not surprised." Jiraiya said, laughing before scratching his chin

"Though, I have to admit… at first I figured they'd tye the knot right after the war." He said and Tsunade huffed, turning,

"At least now we have information on why Minato, Naruto, Hinata and Temari left for the sand village a few days ago." She said and Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. 

"The kazekages a good kid." Hashirama said, Tsunade hummed

"If he wasn't Natsuko would've locked him in the ground." She said, Jiraiya paling

"Thats a…. That's a good point" He said remembering when Natsuko had done so to him for peeping, leaving him there overnight. And as such Jiraiya hasn't peeped into the opposite baths while in the leaf.

"You two've already come up with a color scheme?" Minato said and Natsuko nodded alongside Gaara, 

"Our favorite colors red and dark blue. You know." Natsuko said laying on the couch, her head in Gaaras lap as she looked at Minato. she wore a teeshirt and black sweatpants, everyone else also wearing casual clothes Temari hummed

"Actually, those two colors compliment eachother, well chosen." She said, before standing, grabbing Natsuko's arms, which knocked her off the couch, her and Hinata dragging her away for a moment, well Temari dragged… once Natsuko was on her feet, Hinata more… pushed her forwards

"Hey wait! Can we talk about this!!" Natsuko said, Temari looked back

"Just come on." Temari said and Hinata grinned, 

"Nope." She said

"Gaara, you guys keep planning the other parts of the wedding, Natsuko needs to do something she's been putting off." Hinata said back and Gaara nodded, before turning back

"Oh? What hasn't been done yet? You guys have done everything right?" Kankuro said and Gaara chuckled, 

"She said she still hasn't picked out her Shiromuko yet. So I'm guessing that's exactly what their doing right now." Gaara said, 

"Really, man I thought she'd have already gotten it, she's had this idea of one since we were at the academy. Though I… didn't see her much after she left the academy." Naruto said and Minato looked over

"Oooooh, that's pretty, and Gaara has no idea?" Temari said, looking at the dress before her, a perfectly sewn Shiromuko, a very light teal with dark blue and red detailing. 

"You think? And no, I don't think so. I was incredibly bored, like worse than when I left the Anbu, so I learned to sew…what?" She said looking at Hinata and Temari, 

"I keep forgetting you were anbu… before hokage." Hinata said and Natsuko nodded, lifting up her left sleeve where the mark of an anbu agent could be seen.

"Hey Natsuko, when did you graduate the ninja academy? Or when you joined AnBu?" Minato asked and Natsuko hummed, as she sat on the couch, Gaara next to her and Temari on the other side, while Minato sat on the floor with Naruto and Hinata, Kankuro sitting in the chair across. Natsuko put a finger on her chin

"Let's see.. Naruto was 12 when he graduated, I left…. I was 6 years old. I joined the AnBu when I was 8 left when I was 11. Then we all met a year after at 12." She said putting her hand on her chin as she looked across the room attempting to recall the memories. Scrunching her face up

"You never talk about the AnBu, what was it like, you know" Naruto said and Natsuko hummed

"Everyone thinks it's so cool to be AnBu, but it's really boring. Like, reeeeeally boring you know. I think it'd be more fun to watch paint dry." She said  spreading her arms as she gestured, before falling back against Gaara, who oofed, before she looked over at Temari, who looked over,

"What?" She said Natsuko sitting up quickly before clapping her hands together

"Temariiiii will you pleaseee…" Natsuko started looking over at Temari who sighed, pushing her face away, causing Natsuko to fall from the couch, as she stood rolling her eyes

"You're helping" she said Natsuko pumping her fist in the air, a small cheer as the two left to the kitchen. The wedding planned, now it just… had to happen. 

"What just happened?" Hinata said, 

"Temari knows how to make curry." Gaara said, Naruto putting his hands behind his head

"That explains it." Naruto said, laughing

"Wow.. we were just brats but now look at you two." Kankuro said looking at Gaara and Natsuko, Natsuko's very light teal almost white with dark blue and red detailing Shirokumo sitting on her shoulders, her hair in a braided crown around her head, with small cherry blossoms pinned between the loops. A pink carnation sitting on the right side of her head, the flowers complimenting eachother beautifully. Gaara had his hair brushed back, wearing his black Kaiku with dark red detailing lining the outfit, with the Kazekage symbol on the back, a circle with half red and half of it yellow. Their backs had been turned when the group walked in, looking out at the sand village from the 'wedding quarters' as the elders had dubbed it. Looking towards the horizon. Turning as She heard Kankuro's words, Natsuko grinned, 

"You look amazing sis." Naruto said from beside Minato,

"Thanks." She said, grinning,  Looking at the mix of black suits with Temari's dark violet sundress, Hinata's sundress a lighter shade of violet. Temari wore her hair in the usual pigtails, while hinata had hers down. 

"Hey hey, Natsuko, I thought you two lovebirds would never get married." Jiraiya said, slinging an  arm over Natsuko and Gaara's shoulders. 

"Pervy sage.. You made it." Natsuko said turning hugging the man.

"You think I'd miss my second protèges wedding? As if" He said, Natsuko laughing

"So you missed dad's wedding?" She asked and Jiraiya turned

"I..  hey.. that, no…hey is that Tsunade over there?" He said before walking away, Natsuko and Gaara laughing to eachother, walking around the reception, before Ino hugged her around the neck, causing Natsuko to stumble a moment

"Hey girl congrats. Hey Kazekage, I thought you two would be the last to be married." She said Natsuko turning 

"Sakura and Sasuke havent yet?" Natsuko asked and Ino shook her head,

"They plan to, I think?" She said, before walking away, Natsuko grabbing Gaara's arm as they walked around,

"Lady fifth. On behalf of the Uchiha clan, Thank you. And congratulations." Fugaku said and Natsuko grinned, 

"Hey lord Fugaku. Thanks." Natsuko said,

Natsuko and Gaara continued on to have three children, Mahoshi and Mihoshi the twins, and their older son Shinki. Who would grow in a world of peace instead of a world of war, one thing Natsuko had hoped for. The three of them made up the new generation of sand siblings
