Flowers of Trees

by xellos540

The Hyuuga and the Sarutobi clans are well-known in Konoha, yet Hanabi and Konohamaru managed to become chuunins without knowing of the other's existence. Now this is about to change! Will the differences between our obnoxious shinobi and prideful kunoichi result in disaster? Or maybe the sakura flowers will not be the only thing to bloom this year?

1. Author's notes

Hello, everyone!

I present you my Konohamaru x Hanabi fanfiction story, starting with a prologue following these author's notes. A few more chapters are "done" already, so they might be posted relatively soon. This is meant to not disturb the frequency of updates even if I'm stuck on later chapters, though...

Timeline and setting: after the Fourth Great Shinobi War, therefore I assumed my own ending to the current events. I also took liberties with Hanabi's personality, although this will be (hopefully) explained further in the story. There might be some inconsistencies concerning the age of the characters. Konohamaru and his peers are 16, Hanabi is 15, meaning Naurto is around 20... or at least he should be.

Warnings: the story contains major manga (and consequently anime) spoilers. The story will probably contain violence, coarse language and mild adult themes. The rating may change to M. My lacking English skills should be a warning as well... probably.

Pairings: mainly KonoHana, but NaruSaku and one-sided Moegi x Konohamaru and Moegi x Udon is mentioned (at least at the moment).

Disclaimer: Naruto manga is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and other concerned parties. I am not a member of any of those and therefore I don't own Naruto in any form. The only thing I own is authorship of this fan-made story.

Okay, enough words wasted, I believe, so onto the prologue (next chapter actually)!

Updates:

1. I am in the process of correcting all chapters, mostly removing typos and such, but I am also changing some strange sentences and incorrect information.

2. For those expecting straightforward romance I have good and bad news. Good: you will find it here. Bad: you have to read through many adventure or one-sided crush chapters before "things" get serious.
