Noones POV

It was finally Sasukes release date and the whole Uchiha family were in a hurry preparing everything.

Hinata was making favorites foods.

Itachi was helping set up the table as the kids cleaned up around the house and got ready.

Itachi of course would not be staying. He had another mission and wouldn't be back for a couple of days. This time he was needed in the sand.

They suddenly heard the bell ring and Itachi quickly slipped out of the back door as Hinata wipes her hands clean and took her apron of.

"Really, why would you ring the bell?"

"It's being polite dobe."

"Teme it's your home just open the door!" With that the door was slammed open and Hinata took a step back before it hit her.

She looked a little shocked at the quickness it was slammed open.

Naruto looked ashamed and scratched the back of his head.

"Ne sorry Hinata but Teme has been pissing me of all morning."

"I'm not a baby. I could have found my way on my own."

"Hey Hinata said to take care of you. If she hadn't asked I wouldn't even have bother-."

Sasukes glare turned towards Hinata who looked confused. Sasuke was already irritated with Naruto now he felt like Hinata was meddling to much by sending Naruto to him all the time.

If she knew him so well she should know he hated being around the Dobe.

"Tou-san! Welcome home." Came a lively voice of Asami who quickly bowed but didn't hug Sasuke. she understood what was going on they all did so they were taking it slowly to keep their father feeling calm.

His rage has been the main factor for the past month. Mainly because being in bed rest has been hard for him.

"Hn" Sasuke eyed Asami as she smiled lovingly at him. Made him still fee uncomfortable. He hated this feeling he didn't feel like himself. He felt trapped and he was on the board of going crazy.

Suddenly Itzuki and Hayato walked towards them they both bowed and smiled at Sasuke also.

"Uncle Naruto are you staying?"

"iie I think family time would do the dobe some good time!"

Hinata smiled and shook her head.

"Naruto I made some barbecue-."

"Well don't mind if I do Hinata!!"

Naruto zoomed in picking Asami up and running with her giggling.

Hinata smiled and shook her head. She turned to Sasuke and went to help him by grabbing his arm.

Sasuke instantly took his arm from her grasp and walked in. Hinata felt a pang in her heart, but smiled.

Itzuki and Hayato frowned at their fathers attitude.

Itzuki not being one to keep quiet spoke up.

"Tou-san it's hard to believe that this was you younger."

Sasuke glared at Itzuki making him frown. Hayato feeling a little afraid at Sasukes attitude took a step back and hid behind Itzuki. Sasuke stared at the shy boy that was hiding behind his older brother.

Sasuke instantly had flash backs of Hinata hiding behind objects while peeking at Naruto when they were younger.

"Yeah well I'm not to happy right now kid."

"Yeah but even if tou-San was mad he never treated kaa-San like you have-."

"Itzuki enough! You know tou-san is having a hard time."

Itzuki bit his tongue to keep quiet at his next retort he had had enough of his tousans attitude with their kaasan . At the hospital he was always mean they had hoped he would be happy to have been released today.

Hayato gasped silently as his Tou-sans glare was directed at him. He was not used to this tou-san. His Tou-san was always gentle and nice to him. His Tou-san has never been angry with him.

Granted Hayato has always been a good and obedient child. Straying from conflict or avoiding it completely.

"Sasuke please go in boys go sit." As the boys turned and quickly walked towards the dining room Hinata smiled at Sasuke.

"We should go eat before Naruto finishes half the barbecue!" Hinata giggled but Sasuke only frowned.

"Hn"

Hinata walked infront and Sasuke followed looking around he stopped and looked at photos filling the wall by the fireplace. He slowly walked towards the wall and stared at all the photos.

Every single one had from him smiling and with each child from different ages. From when they were born. He froze as there was some with Itachi and his kids. Everyone was smiling and it looked like he and Itachi were laughing at something and the scene was captured forever.

His hands were clenched having mixed feelings. He heard the fire crackling and in an instant he picked up a small firewood with the fire burning. He held it in his hand and brought it closer towards that photo his hand was instantly grabbed and he looked down towards Kenji.

Kenjis eyes were blurry from tears that were unshed.

"Tou-san please don't- I know you don't remember b-but you and uncle Itachi have a great friendship.. just-just give him a chance. I'm not asking now but later."

Sasuke stared into eyes Identical as his. He would say the twins looked like him but they had traces of their mother.

Sasuke sighed and clenched the peace of wood in his hand. Ignoring how it burnt his hand.

Hinata who was near them grabbed a tissue by one of the tables and went up to Sasuke. She slowly grabbed his hand. This time Sasuke didn't take his eyes of her. Watching her every move.

Hinata slowly took the piece of wood throwing it back into the fire place and cleaned his hand of the debris.

Hinata smiled at him. And it made Sasuke react taking his hand back. He turned from them and walked towards the other room that was the dinning room.

Hinata turned towards Kenji and cleaned his cheeks of the tears.

"Kaa-san May I be excused from eating! This is all my fault!"

"Kenji you can't keep blaming yourself it's not right-."

"How can I not if I hadn't been envious and jealous-."

"Kenji we all get like this sometimes. Who do you consider the strongest person you know?"

Kenji didn't miss a beat and looked at the way his father had just passed through.

"Tou-san!"

"Yeah well even he's felt envious and jealousy. I have also! But let me remind you that is why you have family to remind you that even after these thoughts or feelings you are still an amazing person. You are an older brother Kenji! If Hayato or Asami were In trouble would you be there?"

"Of course!"

"Then remember that you are loved and you are treasured. I love you Kenji and so does your tou-san."

Kenji was still in denial putting the blame all on himself so he just nodded and wiped his eyes.

Hinata smiled after him as he walked away. She turned towards the photos and shed a tear but before it could fall further she wiped her eyes. It had been a hard month since he had awakened but she wasn't giving up on him remembering them.

She walked in to find Asami wiping Narutos mouth as he chewed away. She smiled and looked around.?Kenji asked Itzuki for the fish and Itzuki handed it to him.

At least they are getting along slightly better then before it had been months.

Hayato handed Sasuke a bowl of rice and placed some meat on his bowl getting a nod from Sasuke, but that nod was enough to get Hayato smiling from ear to ear.

"Hina eat!! I missed your cooking sooooo much!!" Naruto yelled out while stuffing more rice in his mouth.

Hinata giggled and sat down at Sasukes right side.

As the family sat down and ate sharing food and laughing and talking Itachi decided to leave smiling to himself.

If his little brother would let go of the hate he'd find out how lucky he is to have those people around him.

Itachi jumped into the air and sat in a tree looking out into the blue sky.

Hope it's going well! I like it so far! 🥰
