Naruto Uzumaki, the 6th Hokage, was waiting patiently in the waiting room. He was thinking about a lot of things. Like, WHERE IS HINATA? He screamed in his thoughts.
Then Hinata came. The one with long purplish black hair. The one that actually noticed him in their childhood. The one who really loved him. The one who had a baby in her hand.
"Naruto… our baby!"
Then Naruto decided.
" Narina."
12 years later.
" MOMMY! I'M GOING TO THE ACADEMY!" Narina screamed at full volume. " Jeez! Where is she?"
" Narina! You don't have to scream! I have ears, you know! Ah well, did you get your lunch?"
" Yup! Um… Well… I took more than what I needed."
Hinata was confused. " Why?"
" Oh.. um… there's this girl at the academy who really doesn't have a lot to eat. And she's reaaallllllllyyyy skinny. "
" Oh? Well then, take as much as you want!"
Narina beamed. " Thanks mom!" Narina started to go but then she turned back. "Mom? Where's dad?"
" Narina. You should know where he is. He's at the Hokage's office like usual. Tell him to make sure he eats his food. And you be careful at the academy! Don't learn dangerous moves! And try not to hurt anyone! I'm so worried!"
"Mom! You know I would NEVER do that!"
"O and one more thing, Narina."
" What?"
" Don't play pranks on your teacher."
Narina didn't have to knock as she stepped into her father's office. She'd been here about a gazillion times. Everything was a mess as usual. No change there. Her father was trying to put some papers in a file but they all fell out and went straight to the untidy floor. Naruto cursed but after he saw Narina, he said, " OH DRAT!"
" Really?" Narina asked with a doubtful look on her face as she picked up the papers from the floor. She handed them back to him and said, " Mom told me to tell you to eat your food."
" Huh? What food?"
" The one mom gave you and that is probably sitting on your bed." Man, her dad must be the most absentminded guy in the village. Narina wondered if he ever forgot to put on his underwear….
" Whoops… Ah well. I'll just have to go to Ichiraku again." Narina noticed a small grin forming on his face. Then Narina got the picture.
" Your purposely forgetting your lunch all so you can go to Ichiraku!"
" My daughter is so smart! I wonder who she got it from?" Naruto started to wonder about it.
" Definitely not you!" Narina replied. Then she started laughing.
Suddenly, her dad appeared right in front of her and placed a hand on her shoulders and whispered, " I'm proud of you Narina and I'm happy that you're my daughter." And he ended their conversation with a kiss on her forehead.
Narina was wordless for a second. Her dad had never done that to her. So why now?
But she pushed the thought away and smiled.
A big, wide smile.
