Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: Something from a fairy tale.
"Nee, Shizune-neechan, what are you doing in Obachan's desk?! And yeah, where is she?!" Naruto said loudly as he entered the Hokage's office and saw Shizune looking annoyed at the pile of office papers in front of her.
"Shut up and read that!" she replied a rather harsh command, as she threw Naruto a piece of paper folded in half.
Naruto grinned as he said, "My, my , nee-chan, you're starting to act like Sakura-chan and Oba-chan! Did you notice?"
He beamed more as Shizune gave him an almost dagger look. He glanced at the paper she give him and saw:
To Naruto
The blonde shinobi , open the letter and read aloud:
Dearest Naruto,
I'm out to go to the Bird Country to make some treaty in there. Anyway, no higher rank missions since all countries and villages officials are in the Bird Country to have some peaceful agreement with each other. If emergency happens, I trust Shizune, Kakashi, and you of course to take over of the situation.
He grinned before he continued. It's nice to know that she trust him on times of difficulties, though it sounded so unlikely of her. He suddenly felt suspicious.
Naruto, since you have no mission to do, I'll give you and some of your fellow ninjas something to work for. Next week, our allied Kages of different villages will come with me to visit Konoha and see the improvement of our village since the last attack of Orochimaru.
I want you to make some play or presentation for our IMPORTANT visitors and who would be your colleague when you already become the Hokage. Might as well, bring a good impression right?
Naruto frowned at what she said. He knew something's wrong with her, stroking his ego like that, he felt excited though at the idea of pleasing the Kage's. However, the next paragraph made his eyes grew wide and read a bit faster.
And yeah, I want you to have a play of the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". Anyway I already help you with the cast, the list is actually below.
Sakura- director
Naruto- Beast
Hinata- Beauty
Kiba- Beauty's father
Neji- admirer of beauty
Ino- Mrs. Teapot
Shikamaru- Mr. Teapot
Chouji- Mr. and Mrs. Teapot's child
Shino and Tenten- costume and lighting director
Rock Lee- special effects director
I already assigned Kakashi and Gai to help you out. Jane!
Signed:
The Godaime Hokage
P.S. Naruto, try to do something I don't like and I'll kick your butt out of Konoha, okay? Mwah!
"Nani?!!" he shouted.
"Oi! Oi! Kakashi-sensei! Gai-sensei! Will you please move out of the way, I'm the director!" Sakura shouted at the two in annoyance. This is their first meeting/practice and all that two did is doing that stupid debate on who is stronger.
"Ah, Gomen ne, my beautiful Sakura-chan. What me and your sensei doing, is just showing a mere appreciation of the spring of youth that would stay with the two of us until our dying day!!"
Sakura groaned inwardly.
'What the hell is Tsunade-sama thinking, having this two for help?' she thought as she doubted the 5th Hokage's decision for the first time in her life.
She decided to call the cast and gave them the folders that the 5th asked to give to them. It includes the script her and Hokage did, the costume's design and all the details about the presentation.
"That's it. The story characters must have memorized that by tomorrow morning" Sakura said as she pointed the script. "Tenten, Shino and Rock Lee, it's okay if you won't attend the practices, just make sure everything's ready next week. Tenten you could take their measurements." She continued as she saw the two jounins glaring at her.
"What?" she asked coldly.
"Ahm… what about us?" Kakashi and Gai asked with puppy eyes.
"You go and make the stage" then she leave.
Next day…
"Father, do you really have to go? Why don't you just stay here with me, it will bring me more happiness" Hinata said as she clasped her hands.
"Beauty, my child, I wanted to give you a better life. And I'll be back sooner, I promise. Anyway, what do you want for a present?" Kiba delivered his lines almost exaggeratedly.
"Just one rose my father, just one rose..." the Hyuuga-heiress said with teardrops in her eyes. She watched as Kiba leave and muttered, "And just come home alive, father… That's more than enough…"
"Okay! Nice one, Hinata. Kiba, loose a little bit okay. Next scene!" Sakura said looking excited.
"Nee, Hinata, I didn't know you're that great!" Naruto said that brought a color of crimson to the purple-haired kunoichi's face.
"A-arigatou…" she stuttered as she muttered a word of thanks. The blonde shinobi didn't heard her though as he went to practice his scene as well.
Afterwards…
"Oi Naruto, loosened a bit okay?! You're acting stiff!! I'm planning on having a kissing scene of you and Hinata so go to her and practice!!"
"Nani?! A kiss?! Demo Sakura-chan… Does Hinata knows this? Maybe she will not agree… Beside, why do I have to be the Beast? I don't look like one, right?!" he yelled.
"Naruto…" Sakura muttered as a vein in his forehead twitched. Naruto sweatdropped.
"It's for the Kages!! If you don't want you may pack your things and prepare to get your ass kicked outside Konoha!! No, Hinata doesn't know this yet so you tell her. I'm quite sure she will agree if it's for the village reputation. And Tsunade-sama chose you to become Beast since you should know the feeling having the Kyuubi inside you and yeah you really look like a beast!! Any questions? If you don't have any, then shut the hell up and go to Hinata!!" Sakura growled at him.
'She really looked like a monster when she acts like that!! Creepy!!' Naruto thought as he had the spine-chill.
"Sakura-chan… how am I supposed to tell her? Maybe you could tell her instead of me?"
"That's your problem Naruto. I'm too busy with a pile of works Tsunade-sama leave to me and Shizune-chan. So if you don't want to fly outside Konoha without wings, you better leave me alone!! I'm too tired with just that two alone, so you back off!" Sakura shouted as she pointed her finger to Kakashi and Gai playing rock, scissor, paper… She sighed as Naruto leave her scratching the back of his head,
'What had I done to deserve this?' she thought.

"A-anou…H-hinata…" Naruto muttered at the back of Hinata who was sitting in the ground and reading her lines. She didn't seem to hear him though.
Naruto began to twiddle his fingers nervously as he feigned a rather choking cough. The girl looked back and fell back in shock as she saw Naruto standing in front of her.
"N-na…na…ruto…kun…" she stuttered with bulging eyes as a hint of red appeared on her cheeks. The blonde boy didn't seem to notice though as he was so busy thinking how he should say it to Hinata. He sat beside her.
"H-hinata…Anou…" he started twiddling his fingers as the girl looked confusedly at him, muttering a soft, "Eh?'
"H-hinata…I…we…You… kiss…need…" Naruto stammered blushing madly. Hinata almost frowned in confusion.
"N-naruto-kun…Gomen ne…demo… Wakarimasen…" she asked looking at him with concern when she saw he held his breath.
"We…need…to…kiss…Hinata…" he said slowly as he became redder and redder. He looked at the girl beside him who wore that horrified expression on her face as she blushed madly. Afterwards, she fainted.
"Hinata! Oi, Hinata!!"
--
Naruto waited for Hinata to wake up, he was getting impatient on waiting when he his gaze dropped into the angelic face of Hyuuga Hinata.
'Well, she looked beautiful when she's asleep…Ehehe…I just noticed now…' he thought as his right hand moved to touch the pale skin of her cheeks. He was in trance when he felt how smooth her skin was.
"Ugggh…" a moan from the unconscious girl made Naruto snap from his reverie. Slowly, the girl opened her eyes. He felt at lost.
As if the time has stopped, she looked into his azure eyes and he did the same, looking at each other as if they were both fragments of a beautiful dream. Her hands slowly rose up as she muttered his name.
"Naruto-kun…"her white eyes gone wider as her face tinged with the finest color of red, she screamed, "Aaaaaiiiiiiiiyyyyyyyyiiiiiiii!!!".
"Oi, Hinata!!! Don't faint on me again!!! OI!!!!!!!!"
After one hour…
"Sodane… Demo…" she said as she blushed again after Naruto explained everything to her.
"Yapari…Sakura-chan's idea is impossible! I can't get you to agree with me!!" he sighed.
"Iie… Not that Naruto-kun… It's just that… It's just that…"
"Eh?? Not that?? So you agree?? By the way, are you okay?? Your face is so red Hinata, are you feeling sick?" Naruto asked obliviously.
"Iie…I'm fine... It's just that…" she trailed off again, blushing a heavier shade of red as humanly possible.
"Eh?? It's just that??"
"IT'S GOING TO BE MY FIRST KISS!!!" she snapped. Silence. She sweat dropped.
"Ehehe. Is that so Hinata? It will be my first kiss too!! Well, at least from a girl! That Sasuke-teme took my very first kiss!!" he said clumsily, feeling awkward of talking about kissing to her.
She sweat dropped again, smiling worriedly as she thought, 'that's my problem Naruto-kun… I don't know how I am going to kiss you…'
--
"Hinata-sama, is there something troubling you?" Neji asked her as they went out together to go to the play's rehearsal.
"Anou… Neji-niisan… Can you tell me how to kiss…?" she asked innocently that she didn't notice the shocked expression and a murderous glint that her cousin's eyes emitted.
'Who taught Hinata-sama of such things?? I'll kill him whoever he is!! Waaaa!! What do I do?? She's asking me how??!! No! NO! Hinata-sama is not that kind of girl!! She's not going to have incest!! No!' Inner Neji thought as he shook his head vehemently.
"Neji-niisan…?" Hinata looked up to the taller Hyuuga. He feigned a cough.
"Why did you ask?" he said regaining his cool composure. Deep inside though, inner Neji is rambling and panicking, thinking of how he shall get out of the situation.
"Anou… It's just that… Naruto-kun…" she paused.
'so it's Naruto!!!'
"Is this matter troubling you a lot Hinata-sama?"
"Hai… It's like a matter of life and death…"
'Waaa!! Hinata-sama is so anxious to know!! What shall I do!!! I promised to myself that I will always make Hinata-sama smile...' he glanced at his younger cousin, 'but this is so improper!!! Hinata-sama, why???!!!'
Just as he was thinking of a way to help his cousin, he spotted a bun of familiar brown hair. He called frantically, "TENTEN!"
The weapon master approached them wondering why the Hyuuga prodigy sounded so frantic. She was surprised when he suddenly grabs her shoulders, looks at his watching cousin and said, "Hinata-sama, first you have to look your partner in his eyes"
Neji looked at Tenten swallowing more than a couple at times before he continued, ignoring his team mate's confused look. He grabbed her hands and placed it around his neck, pulling her towards him a little more.
"Neji?? What's this? What are you doing??" Tenten asked looking a little bit worried.
"Then you placed your arms around your partner like these. Do you understand what I'm saying so far, Hinata-sama?" he asked his cousin ignoring his team mate's questions.
"Hai, Neji-niisan… What's next??" the shy girl nodded attentively.
"Then bring your face closer…" he paused, his breathing becoming instantly rugged as his lips come around one centimeter from Tenten's lips. He can smell her warm aromatic breath.
"Ne…ji??" she asked staring at his white orbs. Her voice becoming more frantic as his was.
"Until your lips meet…" with that he lands his soft lips onto hers.
Hinata stood dumbfounded. She can't believe that Neji-niisan will actually do it. She thought he was just going to show her a little, but she really didn't expect that he'd go on kissing his own team mate. She blushed.
'So that's what I'm supposed to do with Naruto-kun'
The kiss broke and Neji asked her, "Do you get it now Hinata-sama??"
"Hai Neji-niisan!!! Arigatou!!!" she said smiling sweetly at him before running away. He smiled, not noticing his enraged team mate clenching her fist so tightly.
"N…E…..J…I…!!!!!!!"
Before he knew it, he was flying into the sky.
A/N: eh, yeah?? Shall I continue? Please let me know… Read and review!! Arigatou!! Mwah!!
