Author's note: Hey guys, so I've finally decided to take the leap and start with this multiple ships fanfiction though it is mostly Naruhina centric, especially the prologue. It is going to have multiple chapters. I have only ever written Naruhina so I apologize if some of the other's seem out of character. It's a little difficult to juggle so many relationships but I'm excited to try! Constructive criticism is welcomed and I'd love to see your reactions to see where I can take the story! I've got the first couple chapters roughly done so I'll upload those as soon as they're refined. Okay guys, sorry for the long-ish rant but enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters.

Prologue

The whole village was gathered here today. Today was the day the seventh Hokage was to be named and though people knew who it was they were still crowded around the Hokage building waiting for their present Hokage to come out and speak to them.

Today was better than his own inauguration. Today was the day he would pass down this village to his very own legacy, what more could a father ask for? He thought nothing could surpass the day he himself became Hokage but that moment was outshone by many others that had occurred in his life.

Now he was a minute away from addressing this entire nation and let them praise the seventh. His son. Pride threatened to pour out every pore on his skin and his goose bumps rivaled those on his wedding day. Taking one look at his son he beamed, he knew being a father was rewarding, hell he would've been proud of his children with whatever they ended up doing but this, his son wanting the same dream, chasing it and capturing it was mind blowing. It threatened to destroy his calm façade.

He could not however break down here. He had a Hokage to appoint, right now, in front of all of Konoha, in front of their friends and family. Taking one bold step out onto the white castle like balcony Naruto took a big calming breath.

"Hello Konoha shinobi and civilians!" His voice was loud and excited, obviously not being able to contain the happiness he felt.

The crowd went crazy for their beloved 6th Hokage, sure it took a lot of effort to get them to acknowledge him but in the end it was more than worth it. Looking out to the sea of people he noticed there was more than he had at his own inauguration; that of course is reasonable since his son was loved since the day he was born, by everyone.

Looking down he noticed the Uchiha family front and centered. All five of them clearly waiting for his son to make an appearance. To the right of them stood the Nara's, Shikamaru and his wife standing behind their children. He was looking for Ten Ten's family and spotted some buns running through the crowd and he chuckled, they were a bit late. Getting his mind back on track he cleared his throat.

Beaming down at the crowd the Uzumaki started again. "I stand here today ready to pass down the respectful title of Hokage." Again more cheering followed. " I have enjoyed my many years as Hokage serving this wonderful nation. I am proud to announce that with peace obtained within all of the great nations we now live without fear." At this the crowd went insane. They were all very thankful for their Hokage, it was him who had achieved that level of peace since the fourth great shinobi war. "That being said, I now present to you your seventh Hokage, Uzumaki Neji!"

There wasn't a force on earth that could contain the hollering and cheering that erupted when the young man stepped up onto the balcony to stand beside his father. After a minute, the crowd quieted down now ready to hear the acceptance speech of their new leader.

"Konoha!" Neji's voice was exactly like his fathers. It was strong, determined and filled with compassion. "I stand here today beside the best Hokage we've ever had hoping that I will live up to his expectations as well as yours." The younger Uzumaki breathed in calmly and looked straight toward his father. "There is not one day that goes by that I do not feel pride for who I am and who my parents are, they've both had hard lives and look at what they've created! I mention both of them because without my mother my father would not be the man he is today!" Some whistling ensued and Neji smirked at his father who was smiling sheepishly. It was true, everybody knew it. His father would be lost without his mother.

"I hope to always follow in the Rokudaime's footstep and continue establishing peace within our nations. That is what a Hokage does, he steps up to protect those around him and I plan to fulfill this promise everyday for as long as I remain your seventh Hokage!" finishing his speech Neji looked down to see the audience looking at him intently, almost as if they were in a trance.

Finally it was his father that broke them out of the moment. "Your new Hokage, Uzumaki Neji!" Just as Naruto finished the crowd erupted in a mixture between squeals, applause, screams and admiration filled gazes. Naruto softly placed the Hokage robes on his son and finished by hugging him tightly.

"I'm very proud of you Neji, proud to call you an Uzumaki, proud to call you my son. You deserve this son that's why you're Hokage now." Stepping back Naruto went beside his wife who was patiently waiting for both her boys with his other children who were also in awe at their elder brother's speech. He briefly hugged her, leaving an arm around her shoulder and joined her in watching their eldest son get praised and loved while remembering the days that had lead up to this event.
