An Odd Alliance
The Hokage sat by his desk, working through the mountains of paperwork which he had to do. It was dark outside and the moon was full with not a single cloud in the sky. The village was quiet for once.
Knock, knock…
"Enter." The Hokage said without looking up from his paper work. In came a woman in her late twenties. She had long indigo hair, pale skin and her eyes were white with a hint of lilac in.
"Naruto-kun, isn't it about time you come home to bed. It is getting very late. Besides, I miss you." She said as she walked over to the Hokage.
"I miss you too Hinata-kun. But I need to get this paper work done." He said before giving her one of his cheeky-fox-grins.
"Hm… You really give this village everything you got, don't you." She said quietly.
"Yes, I suppose I do, as it is my duty to do so." He stopped writing and looked up at his wife. "So, is Tsuki asleep yet." He asked before he placed Hinata on his lap.
"Yes, she's sound asleep." She then leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek. "But I really do wish that you would come home tonight." She said in an almost pleading voice.
"Hm… Give me half an hour and I shall be done by then." He said as he gave her a kiss on the lips before she stood up to allow him to carry on with the damned paperwork.
"Alright, but not a second longer. I'll be waiting outside for you." She said, smiling as she walked out of the door.
Half and hour later…
As Hinata was standing outside, she noticed someone leaving the building. She immediately recognized him and she ran over to greet him with a hug.
"Whoa, easy now. I said I'd be out in half an hour. I don't break a promise." He then took her up into his arms, so that she was in a bridal carrying position. They then had a long kiss before Naruto started using his speed to get them both home in no time.
As they entered their house, they noticed that their daughter was standing in the hall, with one hand covering her mouth as she yawned.
"Tsuki, what are you doing up this late, I thought you were asleep." The couple said as they rushed towards her to pick her up.
"I had another nightmare." She said in a sleepy and scared voice.
"Oh Tsuki, We're so sorry we weren't here, but I needed to get your father home from that office of his." Hinata said as she cradled Tsuki in her arms.
"It is all my fault, I was working late again." Naruto said as he started to stroke his hands through his daughters indigo hair. He then gave her a kiss on the forehead before suggesting, "How about I take you upstairs into bed and tell you a story? Would you like that, hm?"
Tsuki's eyes grew bright at what she just heard her father say. "Yes please, father." She said as she leapt form her mother's arms into her father's. Naruto turned to face Hinata, "I'll meet you in the bedroom." He then turned around and started his way up the stairs towards his daughter's room.
About 15 minutes later…
Naruto entered the bedroom yawning, to find that his wife was already asleep in their bed. He thought to himself, I can't blame her, look at the time. He then took off his clothes, apart from his underwear, and lay down next to his wife, putting an arm round her.
The next morning…
When Naruto woke up, he walked over to his closet to put on his outfit. He didn't wear what the previous Hokages' had worn. Instead, he wore long black trousers, which had many hidden compartments, which were not visible, a red sleeveless shirt, which had the sign of the Hokage in white on the front, black ninja sandals and he wore a black cape which also had the sign of the Hokage in white, but on the back. His hair was now long, he had it in a ponytail which reached halfway down his back. His physical appearance was incredibly similar to the fourth Hokage, you would have thought that they were twins.
Just as he had finished putting his clothes on, Hinata woke up. "Are you already heading off to work?" She said sleepily.
"No, no. I'm taking this morning off. As you know, it is Tsuki's first day at the academy. I wouldn't want to miss it." He said with a proud smile filling his face.
"Don't you think she is too young to start in the pre-genin class, I mean everyone else will be older then her." Hinata said as she sat up.
"No, I believe she can do it. She has been working extremely hard. Her strength and fighting are high, far above average, so I see no point in letting her wait until she'll be the same age as the rest in her class. I thinks she deserves to be with classmates who are at similar standards as her. Don't you think?" He said, tuning around. Hinata then stood up and walked up to her husband, putting both arms around him as he did the same to her. They then kissed before Hinata said, "I know you're right, I just hope that the other kids won't think that she is getting special advantages as she is your daughter. Even though I know she is good enough to be there." She then finished and kissed Naruto again.
Knock, knock…
"Come in." The couple said at the same time.
"Mum, dad, I made you both breakfast." Tsuki said as she poked her head around the door smiling.
"Really, when did you learn to cook?" Naruto said in surprise.
"I've been teaching her. I thought it would be useful." Hinata answered. With that, all three went into the kitchen and sat down at the table. After a while, they had all finished eating.
"Mm, that was very good, just as good as Ramen, in fact." Hinata and Tsuki chuckled at this as they knew how much Naruto adored Ramen.
"Really? You mean it?" Tsuki said standing up, a tear of joy appearing in her eye. She knew that her father had just given her a compliment, and a good one at that.
"Yes, I really do. Now, you better hurry up and get ready for your first day at the academy. You don't want to be late." As soon as he was finished saying this, Tsuki was already gone. She had inherited Naruto's speed.
'That is some kid you got there kit.' Kyuubi said. 'It sure is Kyuubi, she is very strong.' 'She still hasn't activated her gift yet, so she still isn't anywhere near as powerful as she will become' 'Her gift? What are you talking about Kyuubi. What have you been up to?' Oh you'll soon find out.'And with that, their conversation ended.
Tsuki was now back downstairs. "Come on, we're going now Tsuki." Said Naruto.
"You're coming?" Tsuki said grinning at her father.
"Yes, and so is your mother. We wouldn't want to miss it." He said as both Hinata and him grabbed Tsuki's hands. So all three started their way to the academy.
At the academy…
Nearly everyone was present in the classroom. Iruka had also arrived not long ago. Everyone was chatting, that is, until the door opened and everyone saw who was standing in the doorway.
"Well, well. If it isn't my old students. Class, please welcome Uzumaki Naruto, the Hokage and Hyuuga Hinata, his wife. Oh and of course, their daughter, and your classmate, Uzumaki Tsuki." Everyone else were silent as they were speechless at the sight of the three of them. Then a hand was up.
"Yes." Iruka said whilst pointing at the girl who had raised her hand.
"Um, Iruka-sensei, did you really use to teach the Hokage and Lady Hinata." She said in a quiet voice.
"I'll answer that one," Naruto said," Yes, Iruka-sensei was our teacher and is now one of our closest friends. I still do consider him my teacher, even though I don't go to school .anymore. But then again, you're never too old to learn a new trick"
"Wow! Iruka-sensei, why didn't you tell us that you know the Hokage." Everyone said at exactly the same time.
"I guess it just slipped my mind." Was all Iruka had to say. Naruto and Hinata just chuckled at this. "Anyway, Tsuki, why don't you take a seat so we can begin." Hinata and Naruto bent down, each giving Tsuki a kiss, on the cheek, before she turned around to take a seat. The two of them then left the room together, with Hinata hanging onto Naruto's arm. Anyone who saw the two could tell that they were deeply in love.
A while later…
The two of them had decided to go for a walk through the village, as they hadn't done that for a while. They were still arm in arm.
As the two were walking, they recognised someone who was working in the flower shop, so they decided to go and greet her.
"Well hello Ino. How have you been?" Naruto said as they entered.
"Hokage-sama, I didn't expect to see you two here. Oh, I'm fine thank you very much." Ino said as she was finishing the bouquet she was making. "So what about you two, you seem to look especially happy today." She said, noticing the wide grin on the two faces.
"Today is Tsuki's first day in the pre-genin class." They both said.
"Already, I thought she was only 9 years old, don't they have to be 11 to go to the academy?" She said.
"Well, yes. But she has advanced so much that we saw no point in her waiting." Jinata stated.
"I see. So how is she by the way?" Ino continued.
"She's good. Thank you for asking. So how's Sai doing? I haven't heard from him in a while." Naruto said.
"He's good. But he's been caught up in his office, working on a new jutsu. You both know how he can be. Anyway, sorry, but I must get going. I have customers waiting. It was nice talking to you." Ino said as she waved them goodbye.
They continued their stroll for about another hour before Naruto had to return to the office.
At the academy…
Nearly everyone on the class were talking whilst Iruka was explaining the basics to them on the board. "It seems that you've all lost your concentration. Why don't you all go and have lunch now. And when you get back I expect your full attention." But everyone had already left the classroom before he was finished. Everyone, except for Tsuki.
"Tsuki, what's on your mind." Iruka sounded worried.
"Oh nothing. It's just that I've heard so many stories about you from my mum and dad. And I've been really excited to meet you. That's all." Tsuki smiled as she saw Iruka's expression change. He was now smiling.
"Hm. I see. So what did they say?"
"Oh lots of things. Like the time when you passed my dad, so that he became a genin. I'm sure I don't need to remind you what happened, and how you were such a good friend to my dad. Also the time when you and my mum had to baby-sit the Hinoiri triplets. I could go on all day, but I know you know all of the stories." Tsuki then started laughing.
"I guess that last one was a funny story." Iruka also started laughing. After a while they both settled down.
"I think you better go and have some lunch before it's finished. Don't be late to class." Iruka waved Tsuki goodbye.
