knock,knock
'Whoelse could it be?' was the thought that came into the present hokage's mind when he was disturbed from his sleep. On the wall was a calendar with a few red circles drawn. Today was a day with a red circle, below the circle was written 'my birthday' by none other than the hokage. The clock on the wall showed that it was 8.30 am.
'Gak! it's so early…no wonder tsunade-baba was always sleepy. I practically sleep here every night but…sigh….the mountains of paper work…never become smaller, erm…maybe its my ruler's fault (yeah he does measure them)' Naruto, with wrinkled clothes, looked at the door with a frown, debating whether to answer the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
With the thoughts, it was safe to say that konohagakure was maintained by a hardworking hokage, and to the extend sleeping in the office and forgot about his birthday or could say holiday and day-off never once popped up in his mind since he was made the hokage 4 years ago.
'Jeez, feels like she is knocking my head rather than the door'
"come in", naruto said with a frown.
"took you long enough to wake up" the kunoichi walked to the desk and put down another stack of paper work.
"WHO says I was sleeping" naruto grumbled.
"Whatever, naruto, don't you think you should take a day off? You spent a whole week sleeping here already." The kunoichi clearly realized the hokage's condition, and she, of course, knew that it was naruto's birthday, but didn't feel like reminding him the fact, as naruto always said he didn't have anyone to spend it with.
Naruto:"Ino,is there something wrong with you? You normally will make sure I don't escape from the work, NOW you're telling me to get a day-off?"
Ino :" (grrr…feel like kicking him) take it as a reward for working hard these past few years? Besides, today is a weekend and it is such a fine day, don't you want to spend time with rookie-9 and get updated with their life?"
Naruto: "…there are a lot of work to do, not to mention the latest pile that you had just dumped on my desk and I know that with you being my assistant. No gossip will escape from my ears."
Ino: "are you indicating that I always gossip?(ARG! I would kick him now if it is not his birthday and that I'm so kind)"
Naruto:" Ack!No,no, I'm just trying to say that you're very informative ( a good way to get out of trouble with women)"
Ino: "Hmpm! At least you know that, back to the topic, you really don't want to have lunch and spend time with them? Today is a rare day where everyone is free from mission,you had missed a lot of our gathering already, let's don't miss this one right?(please let him say yes.)"
The gathering was actually naruto's birthday party
Naruto:"erm…well, I guess going away for a few hours won't hurt"
Ino: "good, cause I'm going to make you go no matter what, it's 11.30pm in the bbq restaurant ( Yay, mission accomplished) ."
Naruto: … (Waiting for her to go away)
Ino: "I know that look; you're being so cold nowadays. (Waving the mails in the air) I had collected your mails when I was on the way here. Hehe! A lot of them, looked suspiciously like love letters."
Naruto: "Ino…"
Ino:" seriously, we are already 25 years old, and here you are, ready to marry to your paper work."
Naruto :" Ino, I understand your worry, but I haven't come across anyone that suits me or even close to that, kyuubi in my body just make things worse."
Ino"That is because you didn't put any effort in it."
Didn't have any good excuse, naruto sighed and started to read the mails with Ino's help.
Ino: "Hey, look this letter is quite interesting."
(On the cover)
To precious Uzumaki naruto
Naruto: "'precious'? Another fan's?"
Ino: "haha, totally like love letter, oh…wait…see carefully, the cancelled part before precious."
Naruto and Ino both shocked and stared at each other as they suspected that it was 'my'
