The war was finally over. Everyone had gone back to their perspective villages and the world was at peace. Or that is what everyone was hoping had happened as Naruto Uzumaki had just done was everyone had said would only happen if the world was ending.

"Naruto would you mind running that by me again for a second there I thought I heard you say that you wouldn't become Hokage" Tsunade said as she was only a hairs width away from joining the other kage that had agreed to come see Naruto accept the role.

"That's right I said I refuse to become Hokage" Naruto stated emotionlessly.

"Why" Gaara asked wondering what had happened to his friend

"Don't get me wrong I still plan on becoming Hokage just not right now. I am only 17 and to be honest I want to eventually start a family and I don't really think I would have the time if to even date if I was Hokage" Naruto continued in front of the entire leaf console along with the five kage. "And I don't plan on becoming Hokage until i am at least married and have already had at least one kid in the academy. But even then I might still reject it"

"But you were saying it had always been your dream to become Hokage. Or so I have heard" the Raikage said

"Be that as it may that has always been my second dream. My first has always secretly been to have a family. However I have seen first hand how that position destroys family. I lost my mother and father because of that position. The old man Sarutobi and Asuma had a falling out and even after they patched things up they were still more like strangers than family because of that position. Tsunade you lost both you fiance and your little brother because of that position. You also lost your grandfather and your great uncle both the first and second Hokage's because they had that position. I am sorry but after this war I realized I am not willing to risk the chance of having a good family if that means i can become Hokage" Naruto finished sternly.

"I can see where you are coming from and agree with you Naruto this position isn't meant for those who wish to have a family. I became Mizukage thinking it would only have a small impact on my love life but my love life basically vanished once I did so. However after what I saw in the war I highly doubt that you would be saying any of this if there was not someone who had caught your eye already so would you mind at least telling us who you wish to peruse" the Mizukage said getting an agreement that he should tell the console so that they may 'help' him find a girl that would be suitable as he was the village hero. Tsunade had a good idea as to who he liked but was about to have a heart attack from his answer as was one other console member.

Out in the village

Ino yamanaka had been having a surprisingly good day despite how she felt when she woke up. Today was the day she was going to tell Naruto that she had held feelings for him. The sad truth was that she had held these feelings ever since the failed sasuke retrieval mission having seen what sasuke was willing to do to his own comrades just to get power sickened her. Thus her feelings for him died that very day. Surprisingly he had asked her out after the war ended and he came back to the village. She however turned him down stating she no longer held feelings for him. So when he asked who she did hold feelings for and why after she told him much to his dismay.

Flashback

"But if not me then who"

"Naruto"

"The dope why him I mean now I can see how he is strong but what attracted you to him"

"Simple after you stabbed the village in the back I watched as he put his life on the line just to help his comrades even you when he was still trying to bring you back despite how you stabbed him in the back worse than anybody else in the village yet he still stuck up for you still tried to get you back. Naruto is funny, kind, compassionate, strong and loyal to a fault, hyperactive, acts before thinking sometimes, and can be dense as hell but you know what I love him and wouldn't change a thing about him. Now if you'll excuse me I need to find him as I was planning on confessing to him today"

End flashback

'Where the hell is he. I have checked every single spot he normally is at three times already! Wait I already know the usual spots to find him and have been to each three times….CRAP…..I am as bad as Hinata. Well at least she had the guts to confess to him already' Ino thought as she continued looking

Back with Naruto

"Well…." Naruto said as he looked at Hinata's dad hoping he would make it out of here alive and with his permission to date Hinata as he turned to face the Hyūga clan head. "I was hoping to ask for permission from you in a more private setting but that's not gonna happen now so what the hell here goes nothing. Mr. Hyūga i would like permission to date your daughter Hinata Hyūga. I understand that the proud Hyūga clan may not like the idea that some nobody orphan wants to date their heiress and that I am probably just trying to latch onto a rich and powerful family but I assure you that is not why I wish to date your daughter. I also can assure you that I am no meer orphan either. During pain's attack I nearly lost control over the Nine tailes after watching Hinata be struck with what I feared would be a fatal blow. However I must express my thanks to both pain for doing so and the furball for trying to take over because when the two events accrued i realized that I was in love with your daughter for several reasons and when the furball almost successfully escaped the seal because of my fear of losing her I meet my father and later would meet my mother when again the furball tried to take over as I learned to control his power without his influence. It was after these three events that I saw I not only loved your daughter but also in reality was in more than acceptable position to date your daughter with your permission that is"

"well I guess hiding who your parents are won't work any more not to mention it is no longer needed go ahead and tell him who they are" Tsunade momentarily cut in.

"Thank you granny. Anyway Hiashi Hyūga head of the Hyūga clan I Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki approach you as the clan head of both the Namikaze clan and the Uzumaki clan and ask that you permit me to date your daughter Hinata Hyūga of the honorable Hyūga clan" Naruto asked as he bowed to the clan head waiting for an answer.

"What about the cage bird seal? Your children would be branded with it should things progress to that point as they wouldn't be full fledge Hyūgas. So I am afraid…"

"Sir before finishing I believe you should know where the Hyūga got the seal from. The Hyūga received it from the Uzumaki and there was a contract put in place that should the Hyūga altar the seal as they have seeing as how the original only would seal away the byakugan should a branch family member die in the line of duty. After speaking with Neji I have found that the alterations make it so they can inflict pain and also reduces the range of the and overall performance of the byakugan. As clan head of the Uzumaki I have full knowledge of every single seal that the Uzumaki ever created. As well as how to remove any seal my clan has made alterations or not sort of seals that cost a life to even place as they cannot be removed. Also with how your clan had treated me in my younger years I would be well within my rights to not only institute the punishment for breaking the contract with my clan which I will be doing either way mind you, but also well within my right to demand that no Hyūga be allowed to wear the Uzumaki clan whirlpool crest"

"I see you are now playing hardball but seeing as how my clan does not wear the the Uzumaki clan crest and we will be facing punishment from you either way you have made it so that you have no leverage over my clan so I have no re….." Naruto cut the Hyūga head off yet again much to Hiashi's annoyance.

"That is where you are wrong. Every ninja of the leaf wear the Uzumaki clan crest. Weather they know it or not. As the Uzumaki clan crest is used to help make the leaf on every leaf ninja's head band. Not only that but it is on every chunin and jonin vest. Therefore by demanding that no Hyūga be allowed to wear the Uzumaki clan Crest no Hyūga would be allowed to be a leaf ninja as it would mean they would have to be allowed to wear my clan's crest thus forcing your clan out of their political power as your clan would have to join the civilian console as every one of your clan would have to resign from being shinobi except for the specific Hyūga that I let still wear the crest of my clan. However that would be limited to Hinata and any kids I may have with her as she would no longer be a hyūga upon my marrying her should our relationship reach that point"
