Naruto ended the fourth great war with the help of Sasuke. After the war, he was rewarded with his life goal of becoming the Hokage he was over the moon his life was great until a few weeks later that Sasuke and Sakura got together Naruto had to fake a smile the whole way through the news.
Then to add more oil to the flame's Hinata the girl who admitted to being in love with him tells him she realized it wasn't real love but admiration for him for making her a better Kunoichi and she's now with Kiba.
For Naruto it was one step forward two steps back he had to listen to boring talks in council meetings showing little to no enthusiasm whatsoever always putting on a fake smile for everyone.
The ANBU didn't stay in his office he didn't want them there he would call them if needed he spent most of his days looking out at the village that he's now in charge of whilst his clones do the paperwork.
He'd see couples walking on the street's when he decided to leave his office and they'd wave to him or say hello and he'd do the same back but deep down he was miserable.
Alone and miserable he didn't really socialize with his friends or if he did he sent his clones nobody knew it was a clone or if they did they never said anything.
Naruto's sat at his desk in his office when his assistant Moegi informs him that Team Guy is here to see him Naruto informs her to let them in and he sighs as he waits for them to enter.
He stands at the window as they enter then he sits down in his chair "Team Guy another mission completed I see."
Maito grins and sticks up a thumb "Of course Hokage-Sama were always 110% fired up for each mission."
Naruto smiles "You do know you can't actually give 110% right."
Lee smiles "Hokage-San we always give 110%."
Naruto nods "Of course you do so any problems."
Maito smiles "Nothing we couldn't handle."
Naruto nods "I see well you've been away for two weeks have a rest for the next two days."
Maito smiles "But Hokage-Sama we must train."
Naruto sighs "Maito, Lee I know you could train 24/7 365 days a year but Tenten I'm sure enjoys some rest after a mission."
Maito looks at Tenten who looks tired he nods "I understand Hokage-Sama a two-day rest couldn't hurt."
Lee sighs "But Guy-Sensei."
Naruto sighs"Lee have you not even noticed your arm is covered in blood you need to visit the hospital and listen this time I know you are stubborn but it's for your own good."
Lee nods "Understood Hokage-San."
Naruto nods "Well then dismissed enjoy your rest oh Maito I heard Kakashi was looking for you something about a race to Suna then Iwa then Kumo then Kiri then back here."
Maito grins "My eternal rival has picked a perfect time he thinks he can beat me I'll see about that."
Tenten smirks as she leaves Kakashi's going to hate you Naruto-Kun.
Standing at the memorial stone Kakashi shivers Why do I feel that Naruto is punishing me.
Just then Maito drops down beside him "Kakashi my eternal rival I heard from our Youthful Hokage that you issued a Challenge a race to Suna then Iwa then Kumo then Kira and back here I didn't think you were that devious but I accept let's go."
Kakashi just sweat drops Naruto how can you be so mean."I am sorry I have a mission."
Maito smiles "Never knew you were a chicken Kakashi I guess you will always be number 2 in our rivalry."
Kakashi sighs "Fine, your on."
Maito smiles "I knew I could count on my eternal rival."
Back at the Hokage tower Naruto's back at the window looking out on Konoha he doesn't realize but Tenten has re-entered she placed her scroll against the wall earlier and forgot it when she left "Hokage are you OK."
Naruto turns around "Tenten when did you get back here."
She smiles "I left my scroll Hokage-Sama."
Naruto nods "Call me Naruto, Tenten, and OK."
She smiles "So are you OK, you seems conflicted in your emotions."
Naruto sits on his chair "What do you mean Tenten."
She sits on a chair "You're happy that you're the Hokage it was your dream but I sense sadness buried deep down and I know it's clones you send when we all get together so what is wrong may I ask."
Naruto sighs "You've all heard about my youth and how it sucked."
She nods "Yea it made me really angry actually I mean how can they do that to a child but I'm sensing something else Loneliness I think it is are you OK."
Naruto sighs "I'm fine Tenten."
She sighs "Why do I not believe you come on you can tell me."
Naruto raises an eyebrow "There's no getting rid of you is there."
She grins "Well you did give me two days rest I have to thank you for that by the way, so come on tell me."
Naruto sighs "Fine did you know about my feelings for Sakura."
She nods "Yea I think everyone kind of did minus Sakura herself what about it."
He sighs "I guess I was in love with her but well it was one sided and now Sasuke's back there together and well it sux."
She nods "Yea I guess that it would if I'm honest I did use to like him but it changed when he left yes he's back but it still doesn't change the fact that he left and he helped Akatsuki who were after you, it's still weird that Sakura completely ignored that."
Naruto nods "Love makes people do messed up things."
She nods "Yea what happened to Hinata though now she was like in love with you for like forever well that's what Neji told me."
Naruto nods "She admitted to me she loved me when Pein attacked but after the war, she came to me and told me it wasn't actually love for me but admiration for me."
She nods "Oh, wow that Sux."
Naruto nods "Tell me about it, so how about you I know you had a thing for Neji how are you doing since he died."
She sighs "Yea it's been tough I miss him he changed a hell of a lot thanks to you I have to thank you for that also hearing about Fate this, Fate that it was driving me up the wall not to mention I had two other weirdo's who never shut up about Youth, I think someone's out to get me sometimes."
Naruto chuckles (A proper actual chuckle not faked) "I know the feeling I was on a team with an emo who had a stick up his ass about the Uchiha being better than everyone else and a girl who worshiped that emo forever."
He bites his lip "She didn't get serious until after Sasuke and I left and then we had the most laziest SOB I've ever known as a Sensei."
He chuckles "He was never on time always like three hours late spent most of our first year neglecting me and Sakura for the EMO I had the same opinion as you even if I was on the team with the girl I liked."
She chuckles "Wow, Kami must really hate us two I wonder what we did wrong in a past life."
Naruto smirks "No idea something probably bad."
She grins "Yea, must have been really bad I mean like really really really really really really bad if you know what I mean."
Naruto nods "Maybe we stole something from her or something like that."
She chuckles "Yea maybe well I better go I need a rest I'm off to the hot springs."
Naruto nods "Enjoy."
She grins "OH, I will thanks again my whole body is sore, oh before I go what was with that fake challenge to Guy-Sensei from Kakashi."
Naruto smirks "Let's just say now as Hokage I'm making Kakashi pay for all his tardiness."
She laughs "Karma's a bitch right wait that means they'll be gone for more than two days more like a week or two, thanks, Naruto that will give me enough time to recover I don't know how Guy and Lee do it."
Naruto nods "No problem enjoy your rest."
She waves as she leaves, Naruto thinks That's probably the longest conversation I've ever had with Tenten.
He stands up and looks out the window and sees her rushing to the hot springs he smiles he looks away from the window when he hears a puff of smoke and then a voice "Kakashi says your so mean to do that to him."
Naruto smirks "Karma Pakkun for all his tardiness over the years so who's winning so far."
Pakkun chuckles "Maito but not by much."
Naruto nods "OK."
There is another puff of smoke and Pakkun's gone Naruto nods and smirks then he sighs he then leaves his office "Moegi I'm going out I won't be long why don't you take your lunch break."
She smiles "Yes Boss."
He nods and Shunshin's to the Hokage Monument and sits on top of his father's head and sighs "Quoting Shikamaru here but life is so troublesome"
He hears chuckling behind him then someone sits next to him he looks beside him and sees Anko.
She grins "I couldn't agree more Hokage-Kun but why is life so troublesome may I ask."
He grunts "Women I guess."
She grins "Oh is it the fact that our cute Hokage is single."
He rolls his eyes "Don't mock me Anko."
She just nods and they remain silent just looking over the village.
