I had spent so much of my life preparing only for the Fourth Great Shinobi War and what lead up to it, that I had never spared any thought to what I would do after if I had survived. Since the world was so much more at peace now, I was no longer really needed for assassination missions, especially since I had no further need to go on extended trips. In lieu of that, Kakashi, as the Sixth Hokage, made me an emissary for the village. 

I spent years communicating with the other nations, travelling back and forth to them all. At first, it was fine, but after I was married to Sasuke and discovered I was pregnant, I was promoted to being the village's lead emissary, which meant I mainly stayed in the village and had the regular emissaries all report to me. This meant I worked closely with the Hokage and with Intelligence, which meant both Inoichi and Ibiki.

Sasuke and I were not the first of our age group to be married, despite being the first couple to get together. Naruto and Hinata got married first, neither wanting to wait, and they had a huge ceremony. It was not only a big deal for our friends, but also for the village and for the Hyuga clan since Hinata was the heiress. 

Sasuke and mine's wedding was shortly after it though, a smaller and more private affair in comparison. We kept it to only our brothers and our closest friends. His old Taka team managed to come to it, but otherwise it was full of my friends. I was honored that so many people came to be with us on our big day.

Sasuke did have the ambition to rebuild the Uchiha compound, and he started to restore the buildings and clean them all himself in between his missions. He had wanted Itachi to move back in, but respected his brother's wishes and understood why he didn't want to. Itachi wasn't far from us though, he got himself a small home very close to the compound, and he visited often. 

After our wedding, I moved into the compound and was officially a part of the Uchiha clan, though I fashioned a new symbol to wear on my clothes. It combined the Uchiha and the Hyuga clans together, since I would never stop being a Hyuga. Neji was sad to no longer live with me, but since he had begun dating Tenten just before my wedding, I knew he wouldn't be lonely in our home for long. I did miss living with him though, and made frequent trips at night to sit together on our old porch for tea with him.

My husband and I may not have been the first in our group to wed, but we were the first to have a child. Our son was born within a year of our wedding, and we named him Takai, which meant a 'the next world', since he is truly my next world, my new purpose, my new piece of my soul. Takai was born with my white eyes, but Sasuke's spikey black hair. He grew to have closer to my personality, at least in that he was very social to everyone.

Takai was followed a few years later by our daughter, who we named Akira, which meant 'morning dawn' since she was again the start of something new for us. She had Sasuke's black eyes, but thankfully inherited my long straight hair and not the Uchiha spiky hair.  Naruto and Hinata had a son around the time Akira was born, and they named him Tomomi, inspired by my own name since it meant 'friend.' 

Several of my friends all had kids around that time, including Ino and Sai, Choji and Karui, Lee and Sakura, and Shikamaru and Temari. Neji and Tenten waited longer to have children since Neji was busy leading the clan and working on changing the clan's laws for the branch family, but he eventually had twin daughters around the time Lee had a second son and I had a surprise third child, a son we named Hikaru. 

Hikaru looked like a completely miniature Sasuke in every way, though he had the kindest and sweetest personality out of all our family and was almost always smiling, which just melted my heart to see his innocent smile on his look-a-like Sasuke face. Takai was outgoing and personable, Akira was proud and arrogant like her father (and her mother), but Hikaru was just a little angel, soft spoken and polite to everyone.
