The Godmother [Naruto Uzumaki]

CHAPTER ONE

      When love comes, then it will never leave. That is what my father always used to say to me in my teenage years. He never had any other woman after my mom passed away. All other men I know would have another wife after a few years, but my dad is different. He believes in the one true love, and so do I, but I never found the one. But I am glad that at least my two best friends found love, together.

            Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga, now Uzumaki, and me, of course, have been friends ever since I could remember. The blonde little ball of sunshine I met was always the one to cheer me up, no matter what drama and problems I faced. Just imagining a world without him and his bright smile, his determination; I would have been nowhere near, where I am now. He is one of the reasons why I continued with my path and live a life to my fullest.

            And that shy girl who was always sitting in the back; she is by far the nicest person I ever met. Her heart is pure and  fragile. She was incessantly for me and Naruto like a little sister, a child even; somebody we wanted to protect, forever and always.

        Hinata has had a crush on Naruto since elementary school. She told me that in our senior year, but I knew it; technically everybody knew it, everybody except for Mr. Uzumaki himself. The Hyuuga heiress was always blushing like crazy whenever the name Naruto Uzumaki fell. She was so adorable!

        But nevermind, even when Naruto was in love with another girl, Haruno Sakura, and the fact that he was oblivious to Hinata's feelings; somehow they came together after high school. Or more specific on prom. And that may be the only thing I enjoyed on the evening...

        We write the year 2015, seven years after our graduation; I am an adult and have finished university. My working place - no-other than the Konoha Hospital. I have always dreamed to be a doctor, to be able to help people and save human life. Tsunade is a really good teacher, she is one of the best doctors in Japan, and to top it off, she is also related to Naruto.

        "[Name], can you help me over here?" A female voice calls and, turning around, I find the emerald eyes of Sakura Uchiha.

        "Sure!" And with that I walk over to her. As I take a closer look on her face I notice dark circles under her eyes.Somebody, must keep her awake the night - and no - I do not mean her husband, but more likely her two-years-old daughter. Sarada is her name, I think.

        Sakura and I get along pretty well, but I am not much informed about her private life. I hear the most things from Naruto or Hinata. These two stayed pretty much in contact with Konoha High's "it-couple"; more likely drama-couple, but well, they seem to be happy now. Sasuke and Sakura matured and even married; now they also have a child. I never imagined that that would ever happen between these two.

        "Didn't get much sleep?" I ask her as we walk towards a hospital room. She shakes her head and chuckles a little.

        "Not really, Sarada is constantly crying. Sasuke and I have some baby-shifts. And apparently I have to stay awake from 4 am to 6 am." the pinkette explained and I just nod.

        "Being a mother must be a really hard job-"

        "It is. I never imagined it like this, but I guess it's worth it. Sarada is such a beautiful child. And even if Sasuke won't admit it, he loves her..." she trails off; a giggle escapes me. I must say, they are adorable.

        "I cannot imagine Mr. Grumpypants to play with a baby." I comment and Sakura turns to me. She looks to her left and her right, then leans to me.
