AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hi! This is my first time writing a fanfiction after reading so manyxD. Reviews and constructive criticisms are always welcomed, but please try to be nice:P

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any Naruto characters...but all the ocs are mine and there's going to be quite a few xD.

Naruto Uzumaki was having a pleasant dream. Or, at least, he was...until he felt a heavy body collide with his stomach.

"Wake up daddy! Wake up!"

Naruto groaned in pain and blearily opened his eyes, a massive headache pounding his skull. The first thing he managed to see was a mass of blonde hair, as yellow as his own. A pair of bright green eyes peered at him.

"Come on daddy get up! We have to hurry or we'll be late!"

Naruto muttered something unintelligible and pulled his blanket back over his head only to have it yanked back down. There was a shift on the bed as his wife woke. Saiko, who had been lying next to him, yawned and opened her eyes revealing a matching set of green framed by her heart shaped face. She chuckled when she finally seemed to register what had woken her. "Aren't you getting a little too old for this, Natsuki?"

Natsuki turned away from Naruto and gave her mother a bright grin. "Nope, I'm never too old to annoy daddy."

A couple of seconds later, Naruto, who had closed his eyes, felt a wet cloth slap his face.

"Okay! Okay! I'm up!" Naruto growled. He caught the offending piece of cloth before it could hit his face again. His daughter let go of the cloth and immediately jumped off so he could get up. Naruto sighed and force himself out of the warm bed, rubbing his eyes as he did so. Natsuki smiled innocently up at him.

"So what's so important that you had to wake me up at…," Naruto glanced at the alarm on his desk. "…6:30 in the morning?"

"Have you forgotten daddy?" Natsuki pouted in a way that Naruto would normally have found adorable…if it wasn't 6:30 in morning. "Today's my first day as genin! We're supposed to meet at the Academy at 7:15!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Naruto glared at his daughter. The ringing in his head didn't help his mood in the least. "You're old enough to go to school on your own."

"Oh, daddy," Natsuki said in an exasperated manner all the while giving him an 'Are you an idiot?' look- the one she'd learned from her mother. Confused, Naruto turned to his grinning wife.

"What?"

Saiko gave him a smile that was one half amused one half sympathetic. "Sweetie…The new jonin instructors are supposed to meet today."

Naruto raised an eyebrow "So?"

"So…I clearly remember you promising Umino-san that you would be a jonin instructor"

It took a moment for his wife's words to register. When it did, Naruto's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about? I never said anything like that."

"Yes you did," Natsuki giggled. "We all heard you."

"But," Naruto sputtered. "I would never agree to something like that; I hate responsibility!"

Saiko tilted her head, her long dark hair falling over her shoulders. She leaned forward and rested her elbows on the bed, her head cupped in her hands. "Well, I suppose you we're rather drunk last night. Do you at least remember that we invited Umino-san and Hatake-san for dinner yesterday?"

"Of course I remember!" Naruto said indignantly. "I'm not dumb you know."

Saiko hummed. "Okay, well…after dinner, you men insisted that we pull out the sake. Being the good and kind wife that I was, I agreed and did so after putting Takeru to bed. While I was entertaining Hatake-san, you, Natsuki, and Umino-san were having a chat."

"Yeah!" Natsuki beamed proudly. "Iruka-sensei was saying how proud you must be to have a daughter that graduated at the top of her class!"

"I think I remember that," Naruto grimaced. "And please stop yelling Suki-chan…you're hurting my head."

"Oh, sorry," Natsuki said sheepishly, twirling her hair.

Saiko chuckled. "I didn't hear much of your conversation with Umino-san, but I do remember at some point you stood on top of the dining table and swore you'd become a Jonin-Instructor. I believe you said something like, 'No worries Iruka, I'll help you! I'll be the best Jonin-Instrutor in the world! Believe it!' Then you proceeded to do a jig on the table,"

Naruto groaned and put his face in his hands. "Tell me I didn't"

"You did," Natsuki nodded trying, but failing to hide her grin. "It was a good one too. I kept thinking you would fall off the table, but you didn't."

"Yes, I never knew you had such amazing dancing skills, dear," Saiko said wryly.

"Alright, alright, enough teasing." Naruto growled. "Are you certain I promised to become a Jonin-Instructor? I was clearly drunk at the time. Surely Iruka knows anything I said was said because I was inebriated."

"No, you should have seen Iruka-sensei's face when you agreed to be this generation's Jonin-Instrutor." Natsuki recalled. "He was so relieved. Sensei was looking desperately for one more Jonin willing to train a new team of genins."

Naruto sighed. "And I suppose if I refuse now, I'll be the evil guy who breaks his heart,"

"And the hearts of the cute little genins who would be sent back to the academy if they don't have a trainer," his daughter added unnecessarily.

Naruto shot his twelve year old an irritated look. "And do you remember where the Jonin Instructors were supposed to meet?"

"Hokage's office 7:00 sharp," Natsuki chirped cheekily.

What time was it? 6:30? Naruto groaned.

"You're doing a good thing, honey," Saiko pushed herself up from her elbows and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Umino-san appreciates it. Look on the bright side…you may end up being the Jonin instructor for Natsuki's new team."

A look of horror crossed Natsuki's face. "Oh no! I had forgotten about that." She sent her father a pleading gaze. "Please tell me, you'll reject if you end up my instructor. Just tell the Hokage you want to switch. I'm sure Tsunade-sama would listen to you… if it's you."

Naruto pretended to be affronted, but there was no hiding the smirk on his face. "What are you saying Suki-chan? You don't want your old man to teach you his tricks? I'm hurt!"

Natsuki narrowed her eyes. "If you think…,"

"Okay, enough of this," Saiko said firmly. "Natsuki, you've got thirty minutes before you have to arrive at the Academy, you'd best get going."

"But mom…,"

"No, buts darling; Have you got everything?"

"Yes," Natsuki muttered.

"Kunais, shurikens, wires, your leaf forehead protector…"

Natsuki's eyes widened and she felt the top of her forehead. A blush crept on her cheeks. "I'll be right back," she said before dashing back to her room.

Naruto chuckled as he watched his daughter leave. "She may be top of her class, but she's still as scatter-brained as ever."

Saiko rolled her eyes. "I wonder where she got that from."

"Hey!"

"Naruto, you've got fifteen minutes to freshen yourself up, get dressed, prepare anything you need, and arrive at Hokage tower if you want to be on time. I hope you aren't planning to make the fifth Hokage wait."

Naruto pulled his wife to him, ignoring her cry of surprise and wrapped her snuggly in his arms. Before she could yell at him, Naruto pressed his lips to hers, enjoying the warmth of her mouth. When they finally parted, he gifted her with a confident grin. "Who do you think I am? I'm Naruto Uzumaki, shinobi extraordinaire, carrier of the nine-tails fox, defeater of Pein, hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, husband of the most beautiful woman in the word, and father to two annoying brats. With all that I've survived all little time pressure is nothing at all."

And with that said, Naruto stepped back and shunshined away. No doubt to the bathroom.
