An: I must thank you for those that reviewed. I would like to respond to Moon Spirit in some of the points addressed because they are good points with Hinata being older in how that may affect Neji in some ways. For the moment my aim is to focus on these two but you bring up very good points when Neji is introduced. I think I'm going to have to say he still lost his father and he is still bitter towards the main house however his father's role in intensifying that is not as pronounced. I'll keep your points in mind when developing his character through this story when it comes about. As for the age difference I thought it would go well with bringing out the shy and timid Hinata in when their personal relationship develops later on and it becomes romantic. I hope to introduce a few twists that I think would be unique to this story however I know there is only so much on unique content that there can be especially for those of us that frequent this site often.


Hinata after leaving Naruto's apartment made her way to the Hokage's tower in hopes of setting things into motion that would hopefully bring about some small reprieve to Naruto's lonely existence.

She instead of heading straight to the Hokage's office went first to the branch of the tower that housed the jonin lounge. She soon found one of the eccentric jonin known as Anko. The lovely woman was at the moment entertaining two male counterparts known as Genma and her captain's boyfriend Hayate.

By entertaining Hinata means that Anko was threatening to remove certain body parts that classified aforementioned persons as males if they didn't keep their eyes from wandering when she was talking to them.

Hinata although somewhat enjoying the scene needed to have what she came to do get done. "Anko-san I am sure Hayate-san would not be so careless especially considering his budding relationship with a well known and very deadly ANBU captain. If she did ever hear of this she would do considerably more than just castration to Hayate and possibly Genma for being involved." Hayate had only looked relieved for a split second at her interruption until her veiled threat was unleashed. Anko got a small glint in her eye as she look at Hayate.

Hinata continued. "Anko-san I need to speak to you."

Anko was about to boot them out when Hinata added "And Hayate-san after I speak with Anko." She was sure she could use the situation to her advantage in some way.

Genma merely made a quick exit seeing as he was not needed while Anko's attention was on the young "ANBU babe" as he had referred to Hinata on several occasions. Hey she was only a few years younger and was obviously an early bloomer and was going to be well endowed.

Anko released the poor man that remained as she walked to Hinata. "Sure, what's up princess?"

"I heard you were having some trouble with your neighbors recently." Hinata began not really wishing to beat around the bush.

"Yeah, the fuckers just keep complaining to the landlord none stop. He has already threatened to throw my ass out twice now." Anko stated in an irritated tone as she crossed her arms over her ample cleavage finishing with an annoyed huff.

"I am going to be making a proposal to Hokage-sama about repairing one of Konoha's apartment buildings and was wondering if you would like to give you support in the endeavor as a means to finding a place where you can live in peace." Hinata said.

Anko for a moment blinked a few times. "Fuck yeah I'm in." After a moment Anko got suspicious. "What is the catch?"

Hinata gave Anko an innocent smile. "No catch."

Anko raised an eyebrow. "I'll believe that when I have a new apartment."

Hinata bowed. "If you know of anyone else that would be interested I would like you to have them talk to me since the more support the better off the proposal will be."

Anko just shrugged. "Sure I let my friends know if they are interested."

Anko looked over at Hayate. "Your up you sick freak and if I ever catch those eyes of your wondering over this hot piece of ass you will never get again you'll be finding out what that girl of yours is paid to do." With that Anko left.

Hayate hesitantly stepped up to Hinata to speak with her. "You're cough cough not going to cough cough tell her are you? Cause cough cough it was all a mis cough understanding." Hayate finished explaining the situation.

"That Hayate-san depends on if you will help me if I need your help in convincing Uzuki-san in helping with a small project." Hinata said cryptically.

Hayate felt a little relieved and didn't have any qualms in showing it since the Hyuuga probably would have subtly read his mood change anyways. "Oh anything to help you out. Thank you Hinata-sama."

Hinata waved him off. "I'll let you know how my talk with her goes. I hope you two were planning on moving in together." Said Hinata as she was leaving the room.

She was about to walk upstairs when she heard the yell. "What the hell did I just agree to?!" For the first time Hinata could remember Gekko Hayate said a full sentence without coughing through it and it was music to her diabolically scheming ears.


Hinata waited patiently as Yugao Uzuki was relieved from her position since she had requested her presence. Not unheard of but on her days of Hinata usually tended to stay away from the Hokage tower if it was possible. Yugao Uzuki greeted Hinata as she exited the office and the two began to walk down the hall towards the ANBU.

"Ah Hinata what do you need that couldn't wait until I was of duty?" Uzuki asked in a tone that clearly didn't mind the interruption to her day's routine.

"A couple days ago you had asked if I had any ideas as to how to address several issues such as the need for ANBU to expand their facilities to allow for safe houses as well as a temporary facility for members to be housed when returning from long term missions since the current dormitories are about to be expanded to accommodate the increase in need for better indoor training facilities for the ANBU members. I have found a solution to that and I was hoping to get your support of it. However the solution is too big to fit within the target budget given. I believe I have a solution for that but I wish to have you support in both areas before I continue to arrange for this proposal to go to the Hokage." Hinata explained.

Uzuki nodded and surprised her lieutenant had found something for the ANBU's problem although the workings made her curious because it seemed her subordinate was bout to bring together a complex offer before the Hokage. "Would you be so kind as to give me a detailed explanation of this solution and the problem caused as well as the solution to that problem before I give my approval."

Hinata nodded taking in a breath. Political maneuvers were so much fun to set up. "Well I had my attention brought to an apartment building that has seemed to become under disrepair. It seems to be more than capable of housing the space ANBU would need however there is the repair cost that the budget may not cover for the entirety of it. As well as the fact that it would need to be purchased from the current landlord. The budget problem could be solved in the fact the building is already an apartment building and the surplus of space could be used by the ninja who wish to have a secure apartment building with little worry about the security since it would also be a ANBU safe house and dorm. This however would require a substantial amount to be put upfront to make the building livable and appealing I believe if the Hokage will not approve a bigger budget I can use my clan to take up the finances as an investment opportunity." Hinata finished looking over at her counterpart. They had stopped walking from the office some time ago.

If Uzuki had been talking to anyone else she might be gawking at them. Hinata's ability to not only bring about a solution but turn it into a possible political maneuver like she was when a problem presented itself was astounding. Not only that, Hinata had apparently thought of all the loose ends to this idea.

"Alright I think I'll give my approval however I would make sure your clan is willing to finance this before you bring it to the Hokage. Our budget is near it's maximum already so I don't find it likely he will approve a bigger budget for the proposal. I don't think the Hokage had heard anything of a decent solution yet to this small problem so yours has a good chance of meeting his approval if everything plays out right." Uzuki commented as they were returning to the Hokage's office in order for her to return to duty.

"There is one thing I would like to point out Uzuki." Hinata said before they parted ways. "Someone will have to supervise the safe houses to ensure none of the ninja living in the building disturb the rooms." Hinata set the bait.

Uzuki frowned slightly that was a problem. "Yeah, we would have to assign an ANBU member to live there or watch the place."

Hinata let a small smile and all too sweet smile slip onto her face. "Aren't you and Hayate-san looking for a place to stay together soon?" Hinata presented it as an innocent question but the implication was clear.

"Oh no. Let me rephrase hell no! I am not being the one put up there. It's already going to be a big enough pain getting use to Hayate-kun living with me I don't need to have to sleep half awake. Besides I have missions just like the rest of the ANBU." Uzuki was ranting and raving now.

Hinata held her hands up so Uzuki would be silent. "Sorry just thought you might want some more time with Hayate-san since I'm sure the Hokage wouldn't mind keeping you within the village more under that circumstance."

Uzuki stopped her ranting and took the time to think on that point. Finally she seemed to accept that point. "Think the Hokage would really take it easier to allow me more time with Hayate-kun and supervise the building's occupants? Think Hayate-kun would even go for this? I haven't officially asked him to move in with me yet."

On the outside Hinata was nodding. On the inside her mind was saying "Gotcha bitch!"

They exchanged goodbyes and Hinata left to proceed to accomplish the most enjoyable part of this little plan she was about to spring upon the Hokage, convincing her father this would be an sound investment both financially and in gaining favor from the Hokage. Something he always kept on eye out for.


She entered the compound and the first attendant she sees of the day was none other than her cousin Neji.

"Good afternoon Neji-san." Hinata greeting was crisp and polite, but also held warmth since she had always thought of Neji as an unofficial brother ever since his father passed. The circumstances were not talked about within the clan… ever. She supposed she should have been stronger and been able to fight back but she had only been six at the time. Neji had only vague memories of his father that had kept him happy after his father's passing; however he had gained a small bitterness and resentment when the curse seal had still been placed on him and that resentment had only grown as he aged.

Neji looked at Hinata when she had addressed him. He kept his face blank and responded with the automatic response given to any member of the main family while he bowed to them. "Good afternoon Hinata-sama is there anything you need?" His words held no warmth only a cold emptiness. Hinata really wished she could do something for him and she had. She had taken the time to help him in his Jyuuken and Byakugan when he had trained them. That had only made him develop a begrudging respect towards her for being the heiress she was suppose to be.

"Neji-san would you let my father know I would like to see him to discuss some issues. I'll be having some tea in the dining room if you need to find me." Hinata said as she made her way towards that area. Neji only nodded and set to his task of informing the clan head.

After she had some tea Neji returned informing her that Hiashi would see her in his study. Neji lead her there and excused himself after informing Hinata was outside. Her father despite becoming more respectful to Hinata's accomplishments still always made her wait a small amount of time outside his study before allowing her in.

Once he did she wasted little time before entering and exchanging greetings. She sat in front of the exquisite desk in order to discuss the issues with her father.

"I have a proposal for the Hokage that I will be giving later." Hinata began.

"I see. Why do you wish to discuss this proposal with me if it is meant for the Hokage?" Hiashi questioned giving his daughter his full attention since this involved the village leader.

"There is a problem that I can foresee him from approving this proposal; however I think our clan could use it to benefit financially from it." Hinata continued.

Hiashi was intrigued slightly however, the clan was already well off in its business endeavors.

"That is hardly reason for us to take interest in it as a clan." Hiashi retorted.

"That may be true. I believe the Hokage may see this as a favor from the clan if we were to give support because the proposal will solve a problem he has been plagued with for some time." Hinata continued.

"I see and what will this investment involve and how will our clan benefit financially since the political gains are already mentioned." Hiashi was curious as to how much gain the family could get.

"The investment would be the cost of ownership of the building and restoration. The building is an apartment building that has come under disrepair that would be ideal for the ANBU expanding their facilities as well as being able to lease the apartments to ninja, who I'm am sure would be more than happy to be under the protection of ANBU directly." Hinata explained.

Hiashi pondered on the situation for a moment. There was little to go wrong since most ninjas were already paranoid about security and being under the watchful eye of ANBU if you weren't doing anything illegal was a very good plus.

"I approve and you may put all expenditures on the clan's account concerning the building. I hold you responsible if this does not work out to our benefit." Hiashi commented finally.

"I understand." If Hinata was anywhere else she might be jumping for joy. Her plan was coming together flawlessly.

Hinata shortly afterwards left once again for the Hokage tower. She had gotten the verbal approval of her captain and her father for the proposal now all she needed was the go ahead from the Hokage. She was sure the ninja would not pass up on the extra protection and security of ANBU nearby would provide them.

She was soon waiting for the Hokage to call her in to give her proposal to him. Soon enough the Hokage allowed her into the office. She gave him a polite bow and greeting before taking her seat.

"Well Hinata what can I help you with?" The Hokage asked with a smile.

"I believe I have found a solution to your problem with the ANBU facilities." Hinata responded.

The Hokage raised a curious eyebrow but kept filling out signatures when the report or request called for it. "Oh that would be quite an accomplishment since I have yet to hear of a proposal to fit within the budget asked."

"What a propose is we renovate an old apartment building in one of the less popular Konoha districts and I already have one in mind since the landlord seems like he could use an out. I think the building's appearance and location would be ideal for discreet operations but also it is big enough to allow for the also if we allowed several of the jonin and chunin although possible risks for breaches in security will bring about a great deal of security in themselves so long as there is a supervisor placed within the building to make sure the ANBU section is not trespassed on by unauthorized people, which Neko has commented an interest for the position. As for the building initial purchasing cost I believe that is within the budget expenditures however the renovation is not covered. The Hyuugas are willing to support this out of their own pockets however they wish to have owner ship of the non-ANBU section in order to allow to collect rent from the occupants. I would like to point out target occupants would probably be more of eccentric ninja such as Anko who have problems within the civilian populace." Hinata could see she was winning the Hokage over with the idea especially since he always looked for ways to help his subordinates that had fallen on hard times and lessen their burdens.

"Where the building located you had in mind?" The Hokage asked as he signed his name once again on a document.

"I believe it was the apartment building just off the corner of Seventh Street and Minato Boulevard." Hinata chimed

The snapping of the Hokage's pen resounded through the quiet office. Oh that wasn't a good sign especially the Hokage blanking out his face. "Not acceptable find another location." The Hokage said in a stern tone.

Okay, a little stronger of a reaction than Hinata had anticipated but all was not lost she could get him to see her point of view. "Now wait Hokage-sama just hear me out."

"I will not throw him out on the street like he had been before!" The Hokage roared.

Hinata just stared at the Hokage slack jawed. Her control of her facial features forgotten trying to figure out if she was more shocked at the Hokage raising his voice or the fact that Naruto had once lived on the street.

Hinata bowed her head. "Apologies Hokage-sama that was not my intention or aim when I put this together I had hoped to help Naruto-san."

The Hokage brought his composure back after his outburst. He had lost his cool when he had though Hinata could be so cold after walking Naruto home. Perhaps he jumped to conclusions.

"I am sorry Hinata. Please explain the aim you had when proposing this to me and not just to ANBU but how it would benefit Naruto as well." The Hokage said in a calm tone.

"Hai, Hokage-sama have you visited Naruto's home recently?" Hinata's question took the Hokage off-guard a little.

"Not as of late I have been unable to find much free time to be able to make a trip over there." Hinata nodded at the explanation.

"He may have a roof over his head but if you ask me it's not much better than the street you took him off of. He has furniture that was either ransacked or pulled from dumpsters. I found his living conditions appalling. My aim was to provide Naruto with a suitable home while giving him the round the clock security you try to provide him from time to time with the ANBU assignment. I believe the ninja living there would be a positive influence on him since I had observed on occasion that instructors do not fully fulfill their duty as teachers to Naruto. I also think if they just spend some time with Naruto-san they will be able to look past whatever it is that is making people keep their distance from him. I think if all else Uzuki-san is capable of keeping them in line while they live in the same building as him." Hinata revealed her reasons and goals with this proposal.

"Where will he live while the building is being renovated?" The Hokage voiced his one immediate concern.

Hinata actually hadn't thought about that minor detail then she remembered the blackmail she had. "I have a friend that would be more than willing to allow Naruto to stay at his place and I trust him to behave himself."

The Hokage had to admit he doubted if someone like Anko did take up residence within the building the civilian populace may be deterred from visiting Naruto's home while the Kyuubi festival was celebrated. With Neko on the grounds as well it would provide Naruto with immediate protection if he ever needed it while she was off-duty. Hinata had some good points and had obviously put some thought into this for Naruto's sake. The landlord was an old friend though but still the building was worth a decent amount that would make him live comfortably if he was willing to sell it.

Hinata watched as Sarutobi picked through her proposal and a smile spread across his face. "I approve. I will leave this project's orchestration in your capable hands, Captain."

Hinata bowed her head before her head, but snapped it back up realizing what the Hokage had said. Sarutobi chuckled. "Don't look so surprised you have been demonstrating an outstanding ability to lead and also show well thought out and planned maneuvers when you set you mind to it. Also I need a replacement for Neko if I'm going to keep her close to village in order to fulfill the role you suggest for her. I you would be one of her top recommendations as her replacement. Dismissed."

Hinata stood and bowed as she left still stunned by her on the spot promotion. This had gone considerably better than she had hoped.


Hinata awoke early to ensure she had several things put in motion today before the majority of Konoha was awake. She her list of responsibility was fairly long today but most of it was centered around her decision to help Naruto have a better life. She left her room and also grabbed a bag lying next to the door that was of considerable weight considering the cargo. She had her ANBU outfit since most of her duties for the day would be fulfilled while behind the mask. The sun was not quite dawning over the horizon yet as she made her way to her destination to start her day off. She found her target still asleep in the window. She crept in throw another into the adjacent room. The target snorted and seemed to be waking up only to return to his rhythmic snoring of just a few moments ago. She quickly exchanged the package for the target items and made her way for a quick and quiet exit out the same window she had used to come in. As she left with her mission accomplished a small smile crept to her face that was hidden from under her mask. He was in for a surprise once he awoke for his day.


Nezu (AN: I was told this was Japanese for mouse: aka Hinata's ANBU codename but correct me if I'm wrong.) made her way to the Hokage tower in order to retrieve the note the Hokage had prepared for Naruto's landlord in order to help with the purchasing of the building. She also had to make sure Hayate was prepared to have Naruto shoved into his apartment at any time in the next few days depending on when the renovations started. That would be an enjoyable chat since it might deal with partially torturing the man. Oh well too bad for him if he didn't like it.

After retrieving the note Hinata made her way to Hayate's apartment hopefully he hadn't had too much of a fun filled night. Hinata knocked on the apartment door. No one answered so she knocked again. She didn't have time to be patient about this Naruto was do to be at school in two hours. Finally she heard some stumbling going through the apartment as someone made they way to the door. It was answered by none other than Yugao Uzuki wearing nothing but a slightly oversized t-shirt. She smiled when she recognized Hinata. "Hello captain what can I do for you?"

"Is Hayate-san around or is he too worn out from last night's activities?" Hinata had sit through the occasional "girl" talk of Uzuki describing some of the things she got Hayate to do while in bed.

Uzuki giggled at the jibe. "My word a Hyuuga with a semblance of a sense of humor no one will believe me. Let me go get him he's a little dazed but otherwise fine."

The door opened enough for Hinata to see into the house. She wished it hadn't. There Hayate lay handcuffed to the bed posts with the biggest smile Hinata had ever seen on the man and he was still asleep.

'Well at least he didn't have a dildo strapped anywhere so it couldn't have gotten too kinky.' Hinata realized how far in the gutter her mind had wondered and snapped it back to the purpose at hand despite Hayate now standing in front of her trying to get some feeling back into his extremities.

"Uzuki-chan said you wanted cough cough to talk to me." Hayate said.

"About that favor you owe me. I found something you could help me with." Hinata began.

"Huh? What favor?" Hayate began until it suddenly dawned on him as he had a coughing spree.

"Oh! But I thought." Hayate glanced back at Uzuki who had gone back to lie on the bed. "I thought I was supposed to agree to live with her when she asked." Hayate whispered holding back a cough that tried to escape mid-sentence.

"Oh come on you know you would agree to that regardless." Hinata said.

Hayate's wide eyes and frantic shaking of his head said otherwise. He leant down again. "Don't get me wrong I love the sex but I don't think I could handle it she sometimes has me at my limit now when I'm around. She hornier then most guys are and a hell of a lot kinkier too!" Hayate frantically whispered. Apparently a particularly bad memory entered his head and he whimpered. "Do you know how much sex she is going to want if I move in with her?"

Hinata frowned behind her mask. Okay apparently she was forcing the guy to do a lot more than she had originally thought but hey there were probably tons of guys who would trade shoes with him.

"Alright so what it's just sex. Not like your running a marathon…" Hinata just stopped already seeing where her point was mute. "Never mind, this part is a lot easier to fulfill. All you got to do is let a tenant of the current building where your new apartment will be just have him stay here while the renovations happen, that's all." Hinata explained.

Hayate thought a bit then looked back at Yugao once again. "Please tell me he's a kid cause if she tries to talk me into a threesome with another guy I just may scream." Hayate coughed out making sure to keep his voice low enough for Yugao not to hear.

Hinata actually blanched a bit and had the bile rise up her throat. "No! He's only nine years old. He's just a kid." Hayate let out a huge sigh of relief at hearing that.

"Okay fine I'll do it, but you so owe me for this addition onto our original terms." Hayate said.

"How about I get her to tone down the kinkiness?" Hinata deadpanned.

Hayate started to fish a bit. "Could you also get her to want sex like only once a night?" whimpered out.

Hinata really did try not to laugh she truly did but the way he had asked and Hinata's former captain's tendencies were just too much. For the first time in a long while Hinata had a full hearty laugh and just couldn't stop. It was several minutes after Hayate had given up on her stopping and grumbled a goodbye to her while pointing out his question wasn't meant to be funny as he shut the door. Hinata wiped the small tear that had formed in one of her eyes before leaping off in order to purchase the building.

The purchase went rather smooth especially when she told the landlord if he wanted to remain a tenant of the building she would allow him to so long as he would collect rent for the Hyuugas and report any needs the ninjas that would move on the lower section of the building. He had liked the offer and had also agreed to vacate the premises while the renovations happened. The building was purchased within budget and now all that remained was the get the estimates so she could get the work done on the Hyuuga's tab.

It was almost too easy. She took a look at her watch to make sure she caught Naruto leaving for school and found she had missed it by a good fifteen minutes. 'Awe crap I hope nothing happened yet I was wanting to know what areas I could recommend Uzuki to focus on since hopefully she'll help train him with all her free time." Hinata let the perverted giggle escape her lips as she remembered Hayate and Uzuki this morning. Things were going to be interesting for poor Naruto that was for sure. Especially if Uzuki had any time off while he stayed at Hayate's place. Now that she thought about she hoped he wasn't scared for life or something.

Nezu reached the academy in time to see the teacher who seemed to be accusing Naruto of stealing while he tried to explain how he had gotten them which telling the man they had just been there in the morning with a note saying they were his wasn't all that convincing. Nezu sighed at seeing this and figured she'd have to run some interference and hopefully sucker punch the teacher to cooperate. ANBU sometimes was so much fun.

With a simple shunshin into the room next to the teacher Nezu was in front of the class. "Is there something wrong?" She calmly asked the teacher.

The teacher whirled on her with one hell of on irritated expression as he waved the books in front of her. "This brat walks in with brand new books that he obviously stole from another student since he was not issued these and I know that for a fact! Also his story is too fishy to ignore." The teacher added as an afterthought.

"You know for a fact he stole them or that these are not the books he was issued?" Hinata calmly asked.

"What does that matter it's obvious since he's a little thief!" The teacher was clearly angry with her inaction and seeing she wasn't going to act without a response he finally clarified. "Fine I only know for a fact her was issued a different set since I issued it myself."

"Well in that case, I am to inform you Naruto was issued this new set after the Hokage saw his previous set and felt that were inadequate and should have been replaced." The teacher just stared at her open mouthed.

Hinata turned to leave. "Oh there is one more thing." Hinata turned back around slammed her right fist into the teacher's stomach causing him to lose his breath and double over. Her other hand grabbed the man's scalp behind his head and slammed his face into the desk that was in front of him the audible crack was deafening as the students stared wide eyed at what Nezu had just done. "Lying as well as falsely accusing a ninja of Konoha is a severe showing of disrespect make you do not repeat your sensei's mistake." She received several nods from the students as they were still dumbfounded at what they had just seen. So it was bullshit but it was good bullshit since those kids probably wouldn't lie to their parents any time soon if they were ninja. They sure as hell wouldn't do it to any ANBU.

The man had slumped down to the ground holding his broken nose groaning in pain. Hinata bent down and spoke low so that the students couldn't hear her. "Continue to tamper with Naruto-san's learning curve and I'll do much worse than a broken nose and a few bruised ribs." Nezu patted the man's shoulder as she left. "I'll be sure to send the school nurse."

She was just about out the door when Naruto voice called out. "Tenshi-chan." Hinata stopped a twisted her head to show he had her attention. "Thank you."

Hinata merely nodded before she continued on to inform the school nurse she was needed.

After Hinata left Sasuke spoke to Naruto for the first time in a non-condescending way. "Dude, I think I'm in love."

Naruto snorted. "You don't even know what she looks like bastard."

"Who needs to? I just wish she would beat the shit out of me like that." Several of Sasuke's fan girls gasped at that declaration giving shouts of she would never get the chance to harm Sasuke-kun.

Sasuke-kun heard their teacher groan a quiet and slightly gurgled "No you don't."

Sai, the weirdest of all in the class, made himself known. "Duck ass how could you be in love? You're gay."

Sasuke's response was to emit a low growl in Sai's direction along with as much killing intent as he could muster for a nine year old. Sai seemed to remain oblivious to Sasuke's ire. Sai however was more occupied with dodging the random projectiles thrown in his direction by the ugly fan girls.


Nezu set out to finish her preparations to make sure Naruto's living space would get an overhaul. She not only had the renovations to go but also the furnishings for the ANBU sector which would be tacked on to the last of the available funds the budget allowed. She had stayed and observed for a while after the incident to make sure nothing else happened. She was pleased to see the man's replacement had been more indifferent to Naruto's presence within the classroom. She couldn't stay the entire time since she had to get several carpenters and specialists to estimate the costs on fixing the building. She was also debating on whether to keep it looking fairly run down in order to not draw attention to the place. Ultimately she figured first off the ninja didn't want to live in something that looked like a dump and second most people knew the ANBU symbols that depicted either a building was under their protection or watch, which would be put on the building although subtle it still meant the enemy had the symbols too since it was hard to ensure security on matters that were known to the public.

Nezu had a lot of work still cut out for her and she needed to get started if she was going to be able to show Naruto to his temporary home, which she still needed to get a key from Hayate for.


Naruto had been having one of the better days within his rather short existence and he had a feeling he owed it partially to Tenshi-chan. Sasuke had been civil to him about as much as their little rivalry got. The asshole of a teacher had gotten a face full of desk courtesy of Tenshi-chan. Yes, life was looking up for Naruto. He thought that until he saw the note tapped to his door from the nice landlord. He apologized of course for the inconvenience but Naruto was suppose to find another place for the next few days while some major repair work was done to the building. Naruto sighed as he came to the only logical conclusion of he would be staying out in the woods for a while. He moved to start backing a few meager things such as instant ramen bowl a few pairs of the only jumpsuit he owned. A full kunai poach so he could at least get some target practice in. He sighed once more and lifted the pack on his shoulders.

Hinata was waiting for him to get ready to leave. She had returned to her Hyuuga robes since he shift had ended. She would get an early start tomorrow with supervising much of the work the various contractors would do. She swore she saw dollar signs floating through there eyes as they added up on the work needed to be done to the building. Naruto seemed so down at having to leave she almost felt sorry for him. Too bad where she had landed him as a roommate for the next few days wouldn't be too bad so long as Uzuki behaved herself.

"Ready to go meet your roommate for the next few days?" She enjoyed the distance in which Naruto jumped into the air. He got a good five feet and for a small boy with a loaded down back that wasn't bad.

"Don't scare me like that Tenshi-chan!" Naruto screamed as he rounded on her pointing an accusing finger at her.

His anger was quickly forgotten as she gave that simple innocent smile as she started down the stairs. "Hey, where are you going?" Naruto quickly fell in behind her.

"I told you we need to go meet you roommates for the next few days." Hinata said a graceful tone.

"Huh, what roommates?" Naruto obviously wasn't following what she was saying.

"When I heard you were going to need a place to stay for a few days I had asked a friend if you could stay for a couple days. He owed me a favor so he agreed." Hinata explained the situation.

Naruto made an "o" with his mouth not that Hinata could see it from where she was.

They made their way to Hayate's apartment complex and Naruto for his part remained calm… mostly for him. "Woah this place is so cool! Look they even have a small swimming pool off to the side!" Naruto said as he was bouncing on the balls of his feet. Hinata did very unHyuuga like thing and sighed at least that would wear off after a bit she hoped.

She walked Naruto up to the second floor wear Hayate lived and stepped up to the door and unlocked it. She cracked the door open only to hear Uzuki scream. "Oh God Hayate-kun!" Hinata quickly slammed the door back into place. Damn that Uzuki. She glanced over at Naruto to see if he had heard that.

Apparently he had because he voiced his concern. "Umm wasn't there someone screaming? Should we make sure they're alright?" Hinata had to think fast.

"No they're fine Naruto we just caught them at a bad time. They're doing cool down stretches." She glanced at the door hearing footsteps. "Probably just one of them got a really good stretch in from her partner." Hinata said trying to not think of how many kinky things Uzuki was probably doing to Hayate.

The door cracked open to have Hayate in at least his boxers. He glanced at who was there. "Oh is this the runt?" He asked as he eyed Naruto.

"Hey! I'm not a runt!" Naruto retorted with a pout.

Hinata folded her arms over her chest while adding some killing intent. "Didn't I let you know I was bringing him over later this evening?" Hinata's tone was stern and held an undercurrent of annoyance.

Hayate started to glance from here back to the room. "Well, you see Hinata. Uzuki kind of has the rest of the week of in preparation for her move to the new apartment where she'll be supervising. She kind of felt today and the next couple days could be afforded to come here and umm 'help me pack' for the move as well." Hinata's eyebrow began the twitch. Just great Uzuki couldn't control herself and this would cause her to take Naruto into the Hyuuga compound, which convincing her father would just be a field day.

"Well, you two enjoy packing up I'll find Naruto somewhere else to stay." Hinata hadn't finished her sentence two seconds before a slender arm rapped around Hayate's shoulder dragging him back from the door. Hinata even heard the sultry voice of Uzuki telling Hayate she was ready for another round.

The door slammed close with a thud and the repeated thumping as those two continued with their activities at the door. Hinata looked over at Naruto already seeing the question on the tip of his tongue. "Indoor sparring." Hinata deadpanned and seeing the next question as the boy's eyes lit up at the word spar. "No, we can't join or watch." Hinata grabbed his hand before the boy was scared for life. She would just have to hope that she didn't have to kill half her clan just so the boy could stay at their compound in peace. She just might do it too after having to deal with those two and their overactive sex drives… damn young adults and their sudden urges. Well, to Uzuki's defense constant urges that she already kept in check most of the time while on duty that in itself was a miracle sometimes considering Hayate worked in the tower from time to time.


"Alright Naruto-san you will be staying at my family's clan compound for a while. When we talk to my father do not talk unless spoken to and always address him as Hiashi-sama. Other than that even if he insults you keep your mouth shut or I may not be able to convince him that you should be allowed to stay for the next couple days are we clear Naruto-san?" Hinata voice held a gentle quality while keeping a firm emphasis he needed to listen and agree with what she said. Naruto only nodded as he understood how serious she was.

Hinata greeted the gate guards who scowled as they saw Naruto following their heiress. They remained quiet on his presence though as he followed her in. She lead them to their family dining area so they could have some tea and a snack before confronting her father. Unfortunately for them he was also taking the time to nourish his body as well along with his youngest daughter Hanabi.

Hinata took a seat across from her father and motioned for Naruto to take the last seat at the table. A branch member brought both her and Naruto a cup of tea.

Hiashi at first didn't even bother with the issue that Naruto the village pariah was within his house waiting for Hinata to explain the situation. Seeing that she was not going to prompt the conversation however for whatever reason he began it.

"Hinata why is Naruto-san in my compound?" Hiashi tone made it clear he was displeased with this development.

Naruto already getting where this was going began to get up before Hinata's hand landed on his shoulder forcing him back to his seat. It remained there as she spoke to her father ignore Naruto who had been about to protest. "The Hokage asked me to look after Naruto and provide him shelter."

"I see and you felt obligated to indulge this request knowing my view on the matter why?" Hiashi countered.

"I felt obligated as his new captain to indulge this small favor as a show of appreciation." Hinata hoped that tidbit of information would appease her father and it seemed too for the most part.

"I am happy to hear the good news. As for Naruto so long as he doesn't cause problems he will be welcomed for the duration of his stay do please make sure he stays out of the way." Hiashi finished.

"Thank you, I was hoping since Neji-san was attending the academy as well he would be willing to escort Naruto in the mornings when they are to attend." Hinata added.

"I believe Neji-san could handle the added responsibility in the morning I'll to it that he knows of it." Hiashi began to leave.

"I must attend a council meeting this evening." Hiashi simply stated as he left the room.

Naruto had remained glued to his seat thanks to Hinata's iron grip on his shoulder. Surprisingly he had remained silent like Hinata had asked.

Hinata stood as well after finishing off the last of her tea. "Come on Naruto-san I'll show you to the guest quarters where you will be staying."

AN: kind of my first draft of making this a hilarious scene but I went with a more down to earth clever Hyuuga approach to the problem that I could see Hinata taking as both a bold move in order to be able to show her father she was capable of planning and taking the seat as clan head. Anyways enjoy the little off the wall scene. Also many aspects of this were derived from the fourty-six laws of anime.

The administrative staff within the Hokage tower had learned over the years and had a posted list of people look out for when they were pissed, exuded any killing intent in all directions, or walked around ready to kill the first person to speak to them. Now not commonly known Hinata had made her way onto that list merely by combat reputation and how ruthless she could be. So when she walked in with a calm but stern look that seemed to be almost an exact replica of Hiashi's I'm going to gut someone's calm face the staff dove for the nearest object of cover if applicable. The poor Hokage's secretary had to remain at her station however, there was much cowering and shaking when Hinata asked if the Hokage was busy.

"Nope, not at all go right on in." The secretary squeaked as she felt the waves to killing intent rolling off the Hyuuga prodigy.

Once Hinata saw the Hokage's doors within site they seemed to suddenly bubble up slightly expand and explode in a spectacular ball of fire.

Hinata walked into the office and stalked towards the aged leader as her chakra began to encircle her body flaring in righteous fury. Sarutobi oblivious to the destruction coming his way because he still had his head down working on catching up with the paperwork only heard Hinata's footsteps. Uzuki watched as her friend reared her hand back to the oblivious leader as he read over an important document and watched in slow motion as her hand whistled towards the leaders head. The Hokage's eyes lifted up just in time to see the hand coming. The slap rang out through the office as the Hokage was sent from the force through the window behind him only to explode upon contact with the ground. Several yards outside the Hokage tower having demolished a fruit stand causing that particular sector to look like a fruit salad had been thrown about to vandalize the buildings.

Sarutobi at a nearby stand winced at the memories of his exploding clone he had left. He was a dead man walking from the look on Hinata's face. He rubbed his cheek slightly man she sure slapped the shit out of him. The Hokage didn't have long before Hinata had found him and he started backing away slowly he watched as a waiter tried to seat her only have have his head lopped off and his body soon became an unending fountain of blood still standing. The now blood covered Hinata resumed her stalking towards the Hokage to unleash a wrath that only kunoichi's were capable off. The Hokage was backing away when he bumped into the small café's band they had play from time to time for the customers. He grabbed the singer's microphone while he ordered them to play a soothing song. Hinata's anger was lulled by the entrancing melody. Soon enough she forgot why she was pissed off at the Hokage making him make his move for a quick encounter before she could remember and just as quick and exit. The Hokage was home free back in his office enjoying another victory over the insurmountable odds he faced on a daily basis. Yes, he still had some life left in those old bones whether it is by killing them softly through music or slitting their throats to give them eternal rest.


Omake brought to you by finding the 46 laws of Anime on The Fifth Rider of Armageddon's profile when I ran across one of his stories and getting a kick out of it. It had been a while since I had seen them and reread them. If you have never read them please look those up you should get a good laugh. It was random and I tried to keep to as many laws as I could that would apply to Naruto.

AN: It really is nice to know what you think and a great deal more when you bring up points that some times a writer overlooks when making changes such as I have done. Some of you expressed some concern for the age difference being larger than you felt really necessary if at all. I had considered a closer age but I think five years is good for some of the ideas I'm trying to iron out with this story. I do plan on taking some time with this story to make sure it's not rushed but I hope to keep you on your toes or at least give you a good laugh here and there if you have any pairings you would like added in by all means PM them to me. I like trying to bring a little interesting twist to a classic pairing in hopefully some way as you can see from the above chapter. Hope you continue to enjoy my story and please read and review.
