Disclaimer Notice: I dont own Naruto or any part of that franchise, all rights go to Kishimoto and the people he deals with... All I own is this story's concept. I make no money from the publishing of this story; it's simply for mine and any openminded fan's enjoyment.

Author's Note: Before you flame me because this doesn't fit your narrowminded mentality, please keep in mind that this is fanfiction.. not the real deal! If you can't or won't understand that, please feel free to not read it. I promise you, it won't hurt me a bit. For those who stick around, CONSTRUCTIVE critisim is always appreciated. Enjoy!

Author's Note pt 2: While this story is in canonverse, it is an AU for multiple reasons. 1) It diviates from canon pairings 2) there is no boruto or himawari, even though Naruto and Hinata are married at the beginning 3) Naruto takes the title of Hokage in his mid 20s instead of 30s. I hope this clears up any confusion. Oh, and for those who don't know or confuses Shion with Shino, Shion is a character from Naruto Shippuden the Movie. She is a priestess who can foresee the future that Naruto, Sakura, Lee, and Neji were tasked to protect.

Dearest Naruto Kun: I require your assistance to ensure the survival and passing on of my inherited "gifts", which you previously said you would help me with. My entourage and I will be arriving in Konoha in a week's time to discuss and begin the process. I'd also love to become reacquainted with Sakura, Lee, and Neji and become acquainted with the rest of your team. Until then, my thoughts and love are enclosed in this letter. Xoxo, Shion

Upon receiving and reading the letter from his old friend, Naruto Uzumaki and Konoha's 7th Hokage, felt a deep thrill at the thought of seeing the beautiful blond headed Shion once again. 'Hmm, guess I should let the requested ninjas know about the meeting. I wonder if my Hinata would like to be included on Neji's behalf?' the orange hokage thought to himself, stroking his whisker marked face. He quickly types out a text to Sakura Uchiha knowing she'll pass along the request to her elusive husband Sasuke, Kakashi Hatake, Yamato, Sai, and Rock Lee. 'I'll ask Hina to be Neji's stand in when I go home tonight' he thinks to himself as he returns to the daunting task of neverending paperwork.
