Does Anybody Read That Naruto Manga?
by ODG
"Ew, daddy, it's him again." Hanami peeks over her father's shoulder as he holds her in his arms. Naruto scans his eyes around the park, seeing no one.
"There's nobody here, sweetie—" Naruto stops abruptly as she smashes his cheeks together with her small hands.
"Shhh, daddy. I'll protect you." She says in such a cute voice that her father can't help but melt inside.
"Okay. I'll leave myself in your capable hands."
"Yeah. You can trust my kay-bubble hands…" She pops out of her father's arms and lands rather softly on the ground. The pink haired girl runs quickly away with her hands trailing behind her in proper ninja fashion.
Naruto's eyebrows shot into his hairline.
'My daughter is a freaking ninja prodigy…' He thought proudly to himself.
Then she disappeared up a tree.
A TREE.
She was only five.
FIVE!
Naruto was geeking out until he saw a two blurs, one black, and one pink, shoot out of the top of the tree. It was an actual boy with dark hair and familiar looking eyes.
"I'm not gonna give up, that's my ninja way!" Hanami shouts an equally as familiar phrase.
"You have nothing to do with my sins!" The boy shouts as he blocks the little girl's attacks with lightning speed.
Naruto was speechless. Where… had he heard those things before..?
"They made a manga about us."
Naruto turns quickly to see Sasuke smirking as he walked up to him.
"I saw the stupid look on your face as you watched Hitsuji and Sakura's clone imitate our fighting styles…"
'They are imitating our fighting styles..?' Even though Naruto was more mature, he was still a little slow the the party in some areas…
All his excitement stopped when he saw them delivering what looked to be miniature version of a bone-shattering punch to each others' faces. The little children fly in opposite directions dramatically, equally matched.
"BABY!" Naruto leaves the still grinning Sasuke to rush over to his 'fallen' daughter.
Before he reaches her, she pops up and walks to the boy, Hitsuji, and helps him up to his feet. The two share a giggle and shake hands, suddenly the best of friends.
"Come on Hitsuji, I'm tired of playing ninja." Hanami grins as her friend runs off towards the jungle gym.
"First one to the top wins!" He shouts as they both commence in the most awkward and fumbling struggle to get to the top, when just a moment ago the two were zipping along the tops of the trees in the park.
It left Naruto speechless again at how they went from being prodigies to little five year-olds once more.
"They were just playing. They really don't know what kind of talent they have, but it doesn't matter. They won't need to use those skills. Not while we're still alive."
Sasuke's voice sounds beside him.
"So, they made a Manga about us?" The whiskered Hokage says in disbelief to his friend whom he had not seen in, well, five years.
"Yeah. some crazy guy draws it, and he made you the main character." Sasuke scoffs.
"'Cuz I AM the MAIN character! AHAHAHA!" He laughs loudly, Sasuke joing him for a muted chuckle. When things died down, Sasuke to out the Manga from under his arm and throws it at his old team mate.
"He begs Karin to read it to him every night. It's called 'Naruto'."
"WHAT!?" Naruto yells loudly again, making Sasuke wince a little. "Does anyone read that Naruto Manga?"
"It ended years ago. Pissed a lot of people off." Sasuke grunts. "Karin refuses to read the ending until this day, or see the movie…"
"Wait… there's a MOVIE ABOUT ME!?" He stops and corrects himself. "Em… I mean about us?"
Sasuke rolls his eyes.
"Does Sakura hit you over the head with a rock every night to keep you this dumb?" The dark haired man narrows his eyes at his friend who suddenly couldn't stop moving his eyebrows in a very suggestive manner.
"Oh, something gets rocked every night, and its not my head, teme!" He boasts loudly, elbowing the annoyed Uchiha in the ribs.
"The mangaka of Naruto had you married to Hinata." Sasuke says to shut him up from talking about his other team mate in such a way in front of him.
"WHAT!? But, I barely know her..? That mangaka is crazy…" The Seventh scratches his head curiously. "If I ended up with Hinata, then who did you end up with?"
Sasuke stays silent before turning on his heel and calling for his progeny. "Hitsuji! Mama is calling for us…" He totally ignores Naruto who is utterly clueless as to why his friend was dodging his question.
"Who, Sasuke? Tell me!" Naruto pokes at Sasuke as he hoists his daughter onto his shoulders.
Silence and the shuffling of Uchiha garb.
"Tell me, or else I tell your son about who really was your first… and maybe second, kiss…" Naruto winks playfully as Sasuke grabs Hitsuji's head, covering his ears.
"Ooooh, big people talk!" Hitsuji chimes as Hanami giggles and skips around the three males.
"Sakura. I'm married to Sakura in the manga."
Sasuke says in a very restrained manner.
It seems as if a dark storm cloud gathers over Naruto's head, and he starts to twitch a little.
"Ooooh… my daddy's angry too!" She continues to laugh excitedly. kicking her heels into the air from her perch on her father's shoulders.
Sasuke grabs his son and puts him on his own shoulders, returning his glare.
"You're still such an idiot… it's only a manga…"
"She's my WIFE!"
"I didn't touch Sakura! It was the stupid mangaka!"
"I AM AN AVENGER!"
"DON'T USE MY LINE AGAINST ME!"
On a bench in the distance sits Sakura and Karin who watch their husbands fight over a silly little manga…
"Children." Sakura sighs as Karin nods her head in agreement, then changes the subject back to the matter of real importance…
"So, are you a MinaKushi shipper?"
"Who isn't?"
-The End.
