Prologue: Hinata

It has been 14 months since the war.

The raven haired beauty walked by the gates of the Hyuga residence... "Father, I have been invited t- to go somewhere.. With Naruto kun, and I won't

be back for a long time. It's a dangerous mission, but if we make it, I promise I will bring something back worth while! May I please go?" Hinata

whispers pleadingly to her half asleep father, awoken by her tardiness to return home.. 'Another night over at Uzumaki's house..' Hiashi thought to

himself. "You really care for this boy Hinata?" Hiashi asked in a stern tone "Y-YES. Yes I DO!" Hinata belted confidently, hoping, pleading that her father

would accept this journey she was meant to leave on. "If you go with him, you may not be here when the house needs you the most. What happens

when I d-" Hiashi attempted to finish his sentence but was interrupted by a confident Hinata "You will NOT die! I know I will be gone, but don't worry. It

will only be a few years at the most." "A few YEARS?.. Fine" Hiashi accepted grudgingly..

Prologue: Naruto

Naruto, the Orange Hokage, waited in the cherry tree in front of the Hyuga house gates... as he sat in the tree, he heard the argument below "A few

YEARS?.. Fine." Hiashi accepted grudgingly.. "Naruto Uzumaki, do you SERIOUSLY think you can even attempt to hide from ME? A SENSORY TYPE NINJA,

FROM THE HONORABLE HYUGA CLAN?!" Hiashi screamed at the pink flowered tree top above him. There was something different though.. He was

smiling. "Hey there Hinata's dad! I didn't see you there!" Naruto nonchalantly added, hoping not to piss off the father of the girl he has been trying to

develop some sort of relationship with for over 14 months. "You know damn well I knew you were listening. You had best be glad that I knew your

mother and father as friends, not enemies. If it weren't for that I wo-" *slap!* "Father stop! Naruto kun saved us! More than anyone could have done

within the past century! You had better be glad that he chose me to join him. Maybe this will help our political standpoint!" Hinata added slyly.

Naruto jumped from the tree, landing right next to Hinata, he grabbed her hand, softly holding it, he looked at her father and whispered "No matter

what happens to me, I will make sure your daughter gets back home safely. I never go back on my word bec-" "Yes because that is your NINJA WAY! I

said yes! Now begone, before I change my mind!" Hiashi added with a smile. Naruto turned to leave, but not before Hiashi added "Oh and Naruto" "Yes

Hiashi sama?" again, he smiled, glad the little runt had learned some respect "I don't think there is another man in this village to whom I would trust

my daughters life. Don't let me down." as he said it, the words became nearly a whisper. "If anything happens, I will recommend you for the position of

next hokage, Hiashi sama. I won't let you down." And with that, Hiashi knew he was speaking only the truth.

Naruto awoke from his slumber the next morning. The blonde ninja stroked the hair attempting to sprout from his chin. "I'll finally have some time alone

with Hinata chan... A LOT of time" Naruto thought to himself. The orange hokage never left his dinky little apartment. How could he? He grew up here...

*knock knock knock* "Oi! Loser! Wake up!" "Naruto! Come on! Get up!" Sasuke... and Sakura? "Oh come ooonnnn! Give me a minute to wake up

dattebayo!" Naruto opened the door to find the couple standing before him. Pink hair finally grown out past her shoulders, she stood there with her

aloof boyfriend. "Hey moron, at least put some clothes on. Ever heard of women? They don't wanted to see all of (he pointed towards Naruto's nether

regions) that"Sasuke smirked as Naruto glared at him..

What a surprise!

Naruto gathered his clothes. Naruto had his own Hokage garb to wear... A big jacket, synonymous to the one his father had worn, but this was black,

the kanji on the back were orange and said "Honorable Citrus, The 6th!" Once a goof ball, always a goofball. Once dressed he headed out with his old

team mates. "Hey, since you woke me up, we're going out to get some breakfast." Naruto added a little flustered. "Fine. Where to?" "Oh I know! Let's

go to get some BBQ!" Sakura said enthusiastically. "Barbecue? This early..?" Naruto asked, befuddled by Sakura's sudden craving "Well MAYBE I WANT

SOME BARBECUE!" Sakura yelled. And then the most peculiar thing happened.. She started to cry! "Sakura wait no stop! I didn't mean t-" ...Naruto had

gotten the hint. "Sakura... Don't take this the wrong way but... are.. are you ...pregnant?" Naruto asked, hands covering his head, waiting for the

punches. "Ah geeze.. Well we WANTED to wait until we ate to tell you, but I guess it's a bit late now. Yes. We're having a baby" Sasuke added. He

looked as if he couldn't contain himself...

"I KNEW IT!" Naruto belted. "I knew there was something going on!" Sakura stopped crying and instead was smiling "We had no idea until just

yesterday. Tsunade and Shizune were getting tired of my random mood swings and decided to see if I was pregnant. I got a little angry at the notion

at first, but when they confirmed, I was extremely happy. As you can see, Sasuke is a bit excited himself!" She was grinning ear to ear as she said it.

Genuinely happy.. "Well loser, are we going to eat, or aren't we?" Sasuke added with a smirk "Keep calling me loser ya bum! I'm Hokage now, like I

said I was going to be from DAY ONE!" Naruto added proudly "Anyway, if the mommy wants barbecue, I guess that's ok. Let's go."

After the odd breakfast, the trio headed to the Hyuga residence. Naruto was so excited, he was shaking. The hokage, SHAKING.

"Naruto are you alright?" Sakura asked "You've been awfully quiet since we left the barbecue"

"Yea, yea.. I- I'm good." Naruto smiled as he said it "I'm just nervous... I really want to know what's out there, but I don't want her getting hurt"

Sasuke sighed "Look, I've never even spoken to the girl, but let me make 1 thing clear: The many times I have seen her, she has always been looking

at you. She trusts you with her life. And you're strong. Don't worry. Loser." Sasuke again, added with a smug little smirk. "Thanks Sasuke.." Naruto

whispered.

The three arrived at the Hyuga residence to find Hiashi standing at the gates waiting for them

"Naruto, dammit I said you could take my daughter with you, that doesn't mean be late to pick her up! What if she needed you?! Don't make me r-"

Hinata grabbed her fathers ear lobe. Hard. *YANK* "Father he is NOT LATE!" Hinata looked genuinely angry at her father.

"He is just on time! I told him 11 am and look! It's 10:30!" She shoved her watch into his face "If anything YOU should be getting scolded for nagging

everyone who passes you by this early in the morning!" Hiashi had a deep look of shame and surprise by his daughters outburst, and his own failure to

cool his jets on the day of his daughters departure. "I... I apologize. I am just worried about you. I know I haven't shown it in the past, but believe me

my daughter, I do love and care about you." Hiashi said with sadness in his voice. "I love you too father." She grabbed her fathers head and embraced

him in a hug "I will be ok. I promise." She released him and proceeded to walk with the trio. Naruto, arms around her waist, kissed her on the cheek.

"Do not worry Hiashi sama. As I said before, she will be fine with me!"
