Summary: There is a rumour going around the village that had everyone curious: the Hokage has gotten himself a personal assistant. But because she is not a shinobi, she is hardly qualified. So her purpose is under scrutiny, is there something more? Rumours get more creative when people realize how gorgeous the hokage's assistant is.
A/N: Hello everyone. I must say that I struggle at writing, mostly from lack of time and a muse, but of course there are moments where I become inspired to write.
The Hokage's Assistant
1. The Rumour
There was a rumour around the village that had everyone curious; the newly named Hokage had gotten himself a personal assistant. True to fact that every Hokage before hand had had an assistant, but what was curious about this assistant, is that she is a civilian. It is a well known fact that each and every Hokage's assistant had and has to be a special elite shinobi. To have a personal assistant -- being around the Hokage at all times, they are silently considered the Hokage's bodyguard -- of the Hokage possess no skill in offering protection, just serves no purpose.
To say that there was a commotion based on that fact alone, it was nothing compared to the wild upheaval that ensued after hearing that said female personal assistant was beyond beautiful. Rumours about the assistant and the Hokage took a less than respectable turn; each man having heard a hint of the rumour had nose bleeds; each woman became flustered and felt a bit scandalized themselves; the whole ninja clans had been outraged -- it was, of course, not right to partake in such a scandal, it had nothing to do with the fact that some clan members did not acknowledge the man as deserving of the title -- and had become more insistent in their demands of reassigning the woman.
There was a rumour, which could probably be true, because it was said by a woman who had heard it from the wife of a man that had delivered a package to the hospital and had heard a stray conversation from a nurse who had told her co-worker this (this is a remembered quoted conversation of the two nurses):
Nurse One: " Poor man, I had heard from Sakura-san that he will certainly be out of duty for quite a while, he had sustained a hefty amount of bone damage. I heard that he has five broken ribs, a broken leg, a twisted arm and a cracked hip. And don't even get me started at the amount of chakra damage he has throughout his system. He could be in inactive duty for at least 2 months, and that is only if he is even allowed to go back to duty."
Nurse Two: " What could have possibly happened?"
Nurse One: " Well I heard it from Sakura-san herself, she had been reprimanding the man heavily when he was conscious. It seems that he had gone ahead and made some lewd comments to the Hokage's assistant. Telling her that she was nothing but a common 'you know what' and that the Hokage should not sully his reputation by parading with a such a harlot."
There were many more conversations between the nurses, but the rest of the story went that the Hokage and his assistant happened to be at a restaurant, enjoying a quality dinner after a long day of heavy work and not very appealing cafeteria food. It seems that the ninja (who, with confirmation from the bartender, been under the influence of heavy drinking from the bar; girlfriend broke up with him, was what the bartender had said about the young man) had gone up and made a mess of the dinner, and after some insults towards the Hokage's assistant and the Hokage himself, he had also gone ahead and groped the young lady in front of everyone.
The woman who had heard from the wife of the man who delivered the package had said that the nurses had deemed his punishment quite fitting, and she too herself agrees.
After that incident, there was no more talk from the clans of having the assistant be replaced with someone more qualified. After the wrath faced by the man who had dared insult the assistant, they had smartly kept their opinions to themselves. They were not willing to face the wrath of a man they had rightfully named the most powerful and skilled shinobi of the village. It is not just a title, it is an honour and a recognition.
The rumours did not stop though; they were still spoken, and passed like wildfire around the village of Konoha, for there was a new turn of events that could very well confirm one rumour to be true.
A girlfriend of a cousin that had a friend who knew the boyfriend of the girl (who happened to be the assigned waitress to the Hokage and his assistant that night) testifies, adamantly states under oath, with a cross of her heart that there could be some truth, and maybe even give actual truth behind the rumour that the assistant and the Hokage were a couple. She says this (of course this is just a repeat of a conversation, and this may not be all she said, some passed on information have a way of altering):
Waitress, when she was speaking to her boyfriend at home: " Sweetheart, I swear to you, when that man had started talking about the assistant as a whore, a common hussy, the Hokage had broken the glass of wine in his hand. I saw it crumble to pieces before my eyes like dust, and don't even get me started with the utensils! The fork was literally ripped apart and I am really amazed that that man did not have any stab wounds. I say this because the Hokage himself was eating stake and there was a knife at his disposal. Anyway, the Hokage had turned red, and I don't mean his face. His eyes were red, and even though I was not that close to the commotion -- honey I would never put myself in danger -- I could literally feel death coming. I mean I am amazed the man is alive."
After that particular information had been spread through relatives, who told friends, who told acquaintances, who shared it during functions and events, and of course being overheard by some eavesdroppers, there was an energy that seemed to envelope the village in a frenzy and eager curiosity.
The talk of the town by the academy students and children: Naruto Uzumaki, hero of the village, is making kissy faces with his assistant.
The young girls had found it romantic, while the boys had found it acceptable, because Kagome Higurashi was indeed a gorgeous girl.
The talk of the town by the women (kunoichi and civilian alike): Kagome Higurashi bewitched/won the heart of Naruto Uzumaki/hero.
Some women found it romantic, while others seemed to be plotting ways to get rid of Kagome from the picture (they were so jealous).
The talk of the town by the men: Naruto Uzumaki is one lucky son of a bitch.
Everyone wanted to know his secret to get their own women; some wanted to be him, wanting the chance with Kagome; some were spiteful, but were silent in their protests because they all heard about the man in the hospital; some wished it not to be true and refused to believe the rumour, becuase Kagome Higurashi is indeed one gorgeous girl, had to be a perfect 10, and they wanted her available.
A/N: I enjoyed writing this.
