Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto... HINATA DOES.... uhhh I meant Masashi Kishimoto does, I own some of the characters here like the enemies in the story!

A/N: I accept flames but don't burn me too much. Enjoy! Note: Sorry for the grammar I'm just thirteen and I'm pretty new to this fan fiction writing stuff! This is a NaruHina fic! This is actually my second creation. The first one is Naruto's son, which I removed from the site to rewrite it. To those who already read Narito's son, this is like the prequel to it... or something like that...

Prologue:

A couple of months have passed after serious incidents had befallen Konoha; peace is in the land once again. Team seven took their second Chuunin exams where they proved that they are worthy of the title. Team 7 was no more; it's just a memory for them as they walk in their own paths as chuunins. After accomplishing a couple of S-rank missions, (together once again) the three earned quite a name. People would call them great Nins but more would prefer calling them 'legends'. Tsunade seized this time to promote them because they have proven themselves too much already. She formally promoted them as an elite ninja, as a jounin. They were just seventeen when they became elite ninjas. At the age of 18 they were already leading their own band of Genins. Naruto grew quite tall and handsome. He was still a loudmouth but he proves himself righteous of being called as one of the "Legendary nins". His students look up to him and learned a lot. Sasuke on the other hand, grew tall and handsome too. He became more kind; he was able to express his self now. But he had accepted no students yet; much like Kakashi. What surprised everyone is that he was dating Sakura. Well the pink haired Kunoichi grew much more beautiful. She improved a lot when she stopped letting her world revolve around Sasuke when she became fourteen. Still surprised and quite happy, she is dating Sasuke for over a year now.

Naruto recalled this as while he was sitting in his desk. "A pretty boring desk job for a Hokage…" Naruto thought and then he sighed. It has been a week since Tsunade proclaimed him as the Hokage. Everyone was happy and accepted him as the new Hokage. "Even I would drool and sleep like Tsunade-obachan if everyday would be like this." He thought. The room was very silent, only the rustling of the wind as it hit the window and the ticking of the clock can be heard. Naruto and the others are at the age of 20 by now. He then looked at the clock with drowsy eyes and saw it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Naruto developed a habit of daydreaming late in the afternoon since his boring desk job started. He then sat up and approached the window. He looked at it and saw his reflection. He still wore his orange outfit but with the Konoha vest and the Hokage robe. He then decided to go for a walk. After passing the long hallways of the building, he reached the front desk.

"Hokage-sama… are you finished with your paperwork?" the woman at the front desk that is older than Naruto asked him.

A bead of sweat ran down through Naruto's faces passing his whisker-like lines in his cheek. He grinned at her and the woman sighed; she knew that he left his paperwork unfinished again. "I'm just going out for a walk…" Naruto said

"I guess I'll let someone finish your paperwork." The woman sighed again.

"I appreciate it…" he smiled at the woman and left the building. Naruto then made his way through the streets slowly. Some people still looked at him coldly but some smiled at him and greeted him. He'd smile and greet the people back too. After minutes of walking slowly in the street, he reached his destination… the Hokage monument.

There were six faces now in the mountain and one of it is his. His face was the only smiling face in it, the other five had very serious look in their faces. He stood there for a while, breathing the fresh air and staring at the six faces. He laughed as he recalled his prank when he was still an academy student while he looked at the first four faces in the mountain. He was the 'dead last' and now he's the 'dead first'. He laughed again as he saw Iruka-sensei's angry face. He then thought about Iruka-sensei, the first man who became close to him. He laughed again because he recalled that Iruka-sensei is now a married man. After recalling and laughing back at his pranks he left the Hokage monument before sunset and made his way through the streets again and into the forest inside the gates. After all his accomplishments he still felt incomplete. There is still a hole in his soul. It then hit him; he had no family, no REAL family that is. He only has friends he can trust. Sasuke has Sakura, Shikamaru has Ino and the others as well were starting a family of their own. He sighed as he thought that no one would want to spend the remaining years of their life with him. Who would want to marry and love a man who has a monster inside him? He asked his self. He then arrived at the training area and the Genins that were training there greeted him, at the distance, he saw someone he knew.
