Naruto's Promise of a lifetime at the Hinata Hotsprings

Chapter 2: Under New Management;

Alright here it chapter 2 of the love-Hina/Naruto crossover enjoy:

EDIT: I went back to change the catch up to include Naruto's younger siblings, as they will be included in the story later.

Story begin;

17 year old Naruto Namikaze was currently dreaming of Tokyo University and of marrying his long-time Girlfriend Naru Narusegawa. You see after that moment 13 years ago Naruto and Naru had become nearly inseparable, they would visit each other as Naru's home in Tokyo wasn't far away, in fact it was a sort train ride away, so Kushina, Naruto and Hikari who wanted to tag along with her Onii-chan, would hop on the train and visit 'Na-chan' as Naruto took to calling her, and she would respond by calling him 'Ruto-kun'. when it came time for Naruto to attend school he ended up going to the same junior high and high school as Naru, much to the two's delight.

He also became best friends with a girl names Mistune Konno or Kitsune as she was called as she would have her eyes narrowed in a way that looked like a Kitsune, it didn't help that she was a prankster, but Naruto and his sister didn't mind that as they were pranksters themselves.

Naru had moved into the Hinata inn a while ago as she could no longer stand her family, of course she was offered a place at the Namikaze compound however she didn't want to impose especially seeing as the Hinata Inn was turned into an all girl's dormitory, and to be frank Naru wasn't too fond of Jiraiya and Kakashi, she hated perverts and those two were two of the biggest perverts around.

So with Naru moving into the Hinata House as it was now called Naruto could be found either their or at home practicing with his parents on his ninja skills. Naruto had recently master his father's Hiraishin no Jutsu [Flying Thunder God Technique], and he had finally finished the Rasengan, not only had he mastered the technique within a week, he also completed it after a couple of years after truly mastering his wind element, normally this would involve someone being able to cut a leaf in half using their wind chakra and then cutting a waterfall, however Naruto took it a step further being able to cut patterns into the rock and then cutting a river in half, then furthering it he started cutting rocks and then cutting patterns into them, he then used the trees as practice, he wasn't worried about causing deforestation as he had also managed to unlock the Mokuton [Wood Release] Kekkei Genkai. Every tree he cut down he would grow another, only the new ones would outlast the previous ones seeing as chakra was running through the news better than before. after mastering his Wind Element he began to add it to his rasengan, after months of hard work and many shadow clones, he completed the rasengan, dubbing the new technique Fūton: Rasenshuriken [Wind Release Spiralling Shuriken], it was a devastating jutsu his parents and grandparent had ranked as a SS-rank Kinjutsu [forbidden technique], due to the level of mastery over the wind element one required and the damage it does to the victim, which is the slashing of the body at the microscopic level due to tiny blades of wind caused after the explosion of wind chakra once the jutsu hits. It doesn't help that Naruto was able to throw the damn thing much to His parent's joy.

Anyway that's beside the point, Naruto had become very adept at his shinobi training according to his parents and grandparents he was mid to high jōnin in skill and had high Kage chakra reserves. His younger sister Hikari was also very formidable in the shinobi arts, she was every bit as deadly as their mother and crazy strong like their grandmother, Hikari also showed great promise in the field of medical ninjutsu. especially with her perfect chakra control which was surprising for an Uzumaki, because of her large chakra reserves no one expected her to be able to learn med-ninjutsu but she did and just as good as her Obā-chan.

And let's not forget Kurama, Naruto's trusty pet/partner, Kurama was now the size of a Labrador and slowly getting bigger. Kurama had found himself a mate a while back, a beautiful white furred vixen by the name of akiko, when the two had kits, the twins Kenji and Hikari loved playing with them as they got older.

the last thing naruto recalled was how his family increased in size since that day he promised Naru about Tokyo U. Three years after the twins were born kushina gave birth to little Arashi who had blonde hair and violet eyes. He was a smart little guy and was loved just as much as his older siblings.

then after another three years, little Naruko came into the family, now you probably wondering why she's called Naruko, well you see that's because she was the spitting image of her eldest brother only she inherited more of her mother's looks however she had blonde hair usually tied into to two pigtails, she also strangely had the whiskers marks like Naruto. She was also just as mischievous like her big brother.

"Naruto-kun, there's someone here to see" came the voice of his mother Kushina Namikaze, breaking him from his thoughts.

"Kay, I'll be down in a second." he replied. He finished getting dressed in his normal attire of a black with grey sleeves t-shirt and jeans. his hair like his father's and even more like his grandfather's was messy as hell and spiked up everywhere, and his jaw-length bangs running down either side of his face ever present, he tried tidying it up a bit but to no avail, sometimes he wished he had hair like his mother and sister, nice and straight and that cool color of red he liked.

Running down into the sitting room of his house Naruto was met with his Parents, Minato and Kushina were sitting in their normal spots, Minato was in his armchair and Kushina was on the couch nearest to him, opposite them in another armchair was Hina Urashima, or Hina-Bā-chan as Naruto and Hikari call her.

"Naruto, come and say hello to our guest" his mother said.

"Hello Hina-Bā-chan, how are you" Naruto greeted, bowing before going and sitting next to his mother.

"Hello Naruto-kun, y how you have grown, I bet Naru-chan has to beat the other girls of with a baseball-bat ufufufu" Hina said chuckling behind the sleeve of her kimono. Naruto simply blush and rubbed the back of his neck while chuckling sheepishly

"She has help, not that she needs it" Kushina said striking a pose.

"Well that's neither here nor there, the reason why I have come by is that I have decided that as I am getting on in years, I would really like to see the world. However I wouldn't like to leave the girls to fend for themselves therefore I have come to ask Naruto here to help my grandson Keitaro take over for me as I travel" Hina asked.

"Sure I don't mind visiting more than often, plus it will be cool to run a hotel" Naruto said smiling, he had always liked hanging around the hotel and it great he had an excuse now to stay there nearly all the time now.

"Yeah Sochi that's the main reason why you agreed" Kushina said with a knowing smile. Naruto blushed and tried glaring at his mother, failing due to his blush still visible.

"Well I'd like to thank you then Naruto for helping an old lady in her time of need" Hina said

"Don't mention it Hina-Bā-chan" Naruto replied.

"He's there most of the time anyway" Minato said looking up from his book he was reading these books from America based on a character named Lincoln Rhyme, he was a quadriplegic, but was also a master crime scene investigator and solved crimes from his Manhattan town house. They were really well written, and he also likes a good mystery which these books gave.

"Tou-chan seriously ttebayo" Naruto whined his verbal tick surfacing in his excitement, much like his mother.

"Alright Mina-koi I believe we teased him enough for good while for now" Kushina said hugging her son while smiling, Naruto just pouted at his parent's behaviour. They were always teasing him like this, he was just glad they haven't started asking when the wedding was or when Kushina can expect grandbabies.

"Good now that, that is settled I must make my leave, please take good care of my Hotel Naruto, and any repairs you can make will be most appreciated" Hina said as she made her way to the door

"Of course, Hina-Bā-chan you can count on me" Naruto said, as his mother guided Hina out while saying her goodbye.

"Alright I need to get to prep school, I'll catch you later Tou-chan, see ya later kā-chan, imōto, otōto, Naruko-chan" Naruto said as he walked out the door.

"Bye Naruto-kun" his parents said

"see ya later Aniki" Arashi replied, Kenji was away with his kendo club and wouldn't be back until later today,

"Bye Onii-chan/sama" Hikari and Naruko said waving enthusiastically. And with that after saying goodbye to Kurama and Akiko and their kits, Naruto left to go to prep school.

-At the Prep School later on -

For the last couple of months Naruto and Naru have been attending a prep school preparing them for their entrance exams into Tokyo University. Unbeknownst to them so has Keitaro, small world right? Now in another reality, we would witness Naru be absolutely obsessed to passing the exams and have those glasses that stereotypical Japanese smart types wear in anime, however because of Naruto's presence Naru has a more laid back type of attitude, that's not to say she doesn't study, or needs to wear glasses, She does study with Naruto and they have been kicking ass in all their exams, and she wears glasses but those sexy type of glasses.

Naruto was finished all his study seminars and mock exams so he looked around for his Girlfriend, he was then glomped from behind

"Ruto-kun where were you this morning, I waited for ages before deciding to go myself?" Naru asked, turning around he was met with the sight of his gorgeous girlfriend, Naru, who was dressed in a hooded sweatshirt with Salem written on it, a grey short skirt, white socks that looked like leg warmers and brown shoes, her brown hair was done up in two braided pig tails and she had her glasses on her.

"Sorry Na-chan, but I got held up when Hina-Bā-chan showed up with a job offer this morning" Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck while chuckling sheepishly,

"Oh, what did she want?" Naru asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well she said she was going to tour the world as she was getting old and she wanted to travel before she got really old, so she asked me if I can help her grandson Keitaro to run it while she's gone" Naruto replied

"NANI!" she shouted

"Yeah, supposedly he's having a rough patch with finances and she gave him this job to help" Naruto said

"Well I know the girls won't mind you, but seriously she's getting her GRANDSON to manage an ALL-GIRL Dormitory, I mean what's the bet this guy's a pervert, oooh I swear if I catch him peeping just once I'll end him" Naru said cracking her knuckles.

"Heheh, don't worry Na-chan I doubt that'll happen plus I'll be making repairs to the building so stuff like the hole in your floor will be gone" Naruto said trying to calm Naru down, she always was quick to get over excited.

"Oh good, also the roof tiles will need replacing and there's some doors that need to be put back into place properly…" she started, Naruto just put everything she said down on the list, he'd get some clones to do a greater part of that work when they were all asleep.

As they were heading out they missed Keitaro in a trance shaking everyone's hand, if they had been any slower Naruto would have witnessed Naru showing some of his grandmother's strength without using chakra.

-With Keitaro-

Today wasn't one of Keitaro's good days, this morning he was having that dream again about finally getting into Tokyo U and marrying his childhood sweetheart, however his grandmother ended up in it trying to kiss him. He then woke up and got ready only to end up getting a phone call from his grandmother asking him to call to the hotel for a job. Of course he was interested as he needed a source of income.

Then when he went to the prep school, only to find he wasn't doing badly, it didn't help that he already failed his entrance exams twice, but when he looked at the top of the list he saw the names Namikaze Naruto, and Narusegawa Naru, he could've sworn he heard those names before. Oh well.

After getting heckled from his 'friends' Haitani and Shirai, he headed to the hotel, embarrassing a young girl on the way. When he got there he checked around calling for his grandmother, never hearing one peep, although Kitsune and Su were happily snoozing in her room

-At the Hinata Café-

Naruto was currently chatting with Naru and Haruka Urashima, Keitaro's cousin was also there, she was a woman of average height with dark brown hair and brown eyes, she had a brown short skirt with black tights, a pink shirt and a white apron on.

"Hey guys I'm just going to go and soak in the springs and then check on Su and Kitsune, so I'll see you guys later" Naru said heading towards the hotel,

"See ya in a while Na-chan" Naruto called after her.

It was a short while then that Naru found herself at the dormitory. Seeing as she needed to get some fresh clothes she headed to her room to pick out her usual outfit of an orange skirt, brown tights and her yellow turtleneck blouse. She then headed to the changing room and stripped and placed a towel around her body. She then headed into the outdoor bath.

"Ahh that feels so good" she half-moaned, she felt someone else in the bath but because of the steam she thought it was Kitsune,

"Oh hey Kitsune. Hey do you think my breast are bigger, I think I jumped up a cup size or two" she said finally spotting the figure of her friend, she went the hug her friend to get Kitsune's verdict only to find… "Kitsune?" she asked

"Well Actually eheheh" Keitaro said,

"HENTAI" Naru screamed decking him in the face launching him out of the bath.

-Meanwhile with Jiraiya and Kakashi-

In the headquarters of Gama-Sennin publishing Inc. its president and Vice president Jiraiya and Kakashi, who were going over the script of the latest Icha Icha Movie, suddenly had one of those eureka moments

"Jiraiya-sama did you feel what I felt" Kakashi asked his boss and idol.

"Yes my student, another has joined the way of the Pervert" Jiraiya said sagely

The two bowed their head to the new pervert.

-With Kushina and Tsunade-

The blonde and two red heads suddenly became enraged

"Kā-chan, did you feel that" Kushina asked her mother-in-law

"Hai, Kushina-chan, another man has joined their ranks" Tsunade said "I blame that Old perverted toad for this I know he had something to do with this" Tsunade said menacingly, Kushina nodded her head in agreement.

-Back with The two Super Perverts-

Jiraiya and Kakashi suddenly sneezed and then felt as if someone walked over their graves,

"Crap I think we need to be careful when we go home tonight," Jiraiya said shivering still

"I think you're right Jiraiya-sama, Rin still has me on the couch after she caught me reading the latest book in the Icha Icha series." Kakashi said

"Well you have my sincerest sympathies my boy" Jiraiya said

-With Naruto and Haruka-

Naruto and Haruka were on their way up the steps to the Hinata hotel when Naruto had the sudden urge to deck the next guy he met but couldn't explain it, however he had to contain his laughter upon the scene he and Haruka stumbled upon when they reached the entrance to the hotel.

Naru and Kitsune had the poor guy tied up and the poor guy was only in a towel covering his privates, and Su had him surrounded with her tanks [toy tanks but still kinda dangerous, as most of Su's stuff is dangerous].

"Oh Keitaro, It's you" Haruka said looking at her cousin. The guy then teared up

"Haruka-ba-chan" he said somehow breaking free of the rope in the confusion and hugged Haruka, who then proceeded to smash him on the head with her elbow

"How many times do I have to tell you? It's Haruka" she said, the girls then looked to Haruka.

"Haruka-san you know this molester" Naru said pointing at Keitaro.

"Why do you say that, Na-chan" Naruto said confused as to why Naru would call Keitaro a molester.

"I was in the bath and this guy felt me up, Ruto-kun" Naru said running to him and hugging him for comfort, then poor Keitaro felt a heavy pressure, press down on him and looked towards the source to see Naruto consoling his girlfriend and his fringe covering his eyes, then this image appeared behind Naruto and Keitaro could swear it was the shinigami himself.

"He did WHAT" Naruto shouted

"I'm so sorry, it was an accident, I didn't know this was an all-girl's dormitory, my grandma said she had some work for me and to call over, I swear, please don't kill me" Keitaro said begging for his life

"Alright now, let's just go inside and sort this out like adults" Haruka said starting to get annoyed, Naruto stopped leaking his Killer intent towards Keitaro, he and Naru went to the sitting area in the main lobby and waited for the others to come in, Kitsune and Su were next, Su hanging of Kitsune who was leaning on the back of the couch Naruto and Naru were sitting in, Keitaro and Haruka then came in.

"So Keitaro How's Tokyo U, you would be in your Third year now right?" Haruka asked her cousin

"Wait you mean he's a Tokyo U student?" the girls asked

"Tokyo U, what's that, does it taste good" Su asked.

"Whoa that's cool what's it like going there" Naruto asked

"Well you see heheh" Keitaro said getting embarrassed as he was caught in a lie.

"So Mr Tokyo U, what's your major" asked Kitsune wanting to know about the new guy.

"Oh well, I was planning on majoring in Law, but…." Keitaro started only to be cut of

"You here that, we have a lawyer in our midst." Kitsune said pulling a fan out of nowhere to fan herself with posing in an over exaggerating stance, "Once he graduates he'll be loaded heheh"

"Wait a minute, this is Keitaro as in Hina-Baa-chan's grandson right" Naruto asked as Kitsune went into her own rant about getting together with the Tokyo student,

"Yes, this is my cousin Keitaro Urashima, however due to the age difference between us he insists on calling me 'Auntie' all the time" Haruka said blowing a puff of smoke.

"Wow, sorry about before Keitaro, but I kinda get overprotective of Naru sometimes" Naruto said rubbing the back of his head

"That's okay, I'm the one who should be sorry" Keitaro replied.

"Anyway it'll be nice working together, Hina-baa-chan asked me to watch over the hotel as well" Naruto said, "Name's Namikaze Naruto by the way" he said holding his hand out for a handshake, which Keitaro took,

"And this lovely lady here is my girlfriend Narusegawa Naru" Naruto said gesturing towards Naru, who blushed an atomic blush.

"Ruto-kun stop it" Naru said slapping him playfully on the shoulder.

"Anyway I need to get back to the café, so Naruto, Keitaro good luck and take good care of this place" Haruka said, as she walked out the front door.

"See ya later Haruka" Naruto said as the woman walked out the front door

"Come on Ruto-kun" Naru said as she dragged him upstairs.

"Gah, see ya later Keitaro" Naruto said.

"Well I'm going to go back to sleep" Kitsune said Su following right behind her. Keitaro made his way after Kitsune and Su were out of sight.

-With Naruto and Naru-

Right now the two were looking over a few things in terms of study, or at least Naru is, Naruto is busy doodling into a sketch book he has.

"So what do you think of Keitaro, Naru-chan?" Naruto asked taking a pause from his studying,

"Well besides the whole peeking on me, he seems like a down on his luck guy, I think we should give him a chance" Naru said looking at her boyfriend.

"Yeah I get that vibe as well although I'm pretty sure I saw him flinch though when Haruka said he was a Tokyo student" Naruto replied, he noticed it was subtle but not subtle enough for him to notice it. "Anyway, what're you studying there Naru-chan" he asked looking towards the books she had in front of her.

"Just looking over the English ones again" Naru replied looking at Naruto.

"You know I told you not to be overdoing it, too little or too much study isn't good you know" Naruto said his face full of seriousness.

"I know, I know" she said putting the books down, she then got up and went over to where Naruto was which was on her bed, she probably would have just had a simple futon, however when she was moving into the Hinata Dormitory Naruto insisted she get a bed and he even helped set it up. Any way Naru went onto the bed and snuggled up against her boyfriend tired of the day's events.

Naruto looked towards his girlfriend with an amused look upon his face.

"What are you thinking about Na-chan" Naruto asked.

"I was thinking about what it'll be like when we finally get into Tokyo U, ya know" Naru said, which she was, she was thinking about what classes to take and what to major in and so on.

"Oh, well you won't have to wait long to find out, with the way we've been treating this we are sure to get in" Naruto said. Himself and Naru have been going at this smartly, rather than focusing all their time doing nothing but study, they have breaks and weekends off, this way they give time for the information to sink in, also rather than study on their own they study together constantly, always quizzing each other. This also helps the information stick, also if they got stuck on anything they would always be quick to ask Minato or Tsunade, whom became very knowledgeable about most subjects in Japan, and the rest of the world.

"Do you think so" Naru looked to him, she trusted Naruto but she couldn't help but feel worried.

"I know so. You can't expect to remember anything if you're always adding knew knowledge and not letting anything sink in, that's like when cooking you can't just put in all the ingredients at once otherwise you don't allow for all the flavors to mix properly and ruining the dish" Naruto explained.

"Huh well when you put it that way I guess your right" Naru said,

"I sometimes am, especially when talking about food" Naruto said with his vulpine grin, Naru couldn't help but giggle

"I love how you always know the right thing to cheer me up Ruto-kun" Naru said snuggling deeper into Naruto's chest, as Naruto laid back on his back. Naruto chuckled

"Well I try, Na-chan." Naruto replied still smiling. It's true though Naruto will do anything it takes to keep those he loved happy.

This is how the two stayed until Naru drifted off to sleep. He then went to work, erecting a sound barrier around the whole in her floor, Naruto went through some hand seals and stopping snake he casted a simple Mokuton jutsu to manipulate the wood to grow across the whole patching it up and making it look like it was never there. Taking down the barrier he went to go find Keitaro and see what he was up to.

-With Keitaro-

Keitaro was currently cleaning the outdoor springs, and he made sure to put up the sign to say he was cleaning so as not to be disturbed. He was almost finished when he heard the door opening.

"Sorry girls but I'm cleaning here at the moment" Keitaro said looking up from sweeping the area.

"Just me Keitaro," Naruto said walking in with a broom.

"Oh Naruto-san, what are you doing here?" Keitaro asked.

"Giving a helping hand, remember we're in this together." Naruto answered.

"Thanks but actually I'm nearly finished here, I also managed to get the windows clean and swept the floors. All that's left really are a few structural repairs like the tiles on the roof but other than that, she seems to be ship-shape" Keitaro said "So why did Obā-chan ask you to co-manage with me?" he asked.

"Well it's because of the fact that she's known me since I was born, My clan lives nearby, so I was always playing around here, it also doesn't hurt that I know the tenants so at least they have a friendly face running things along with you." Naruto said shrugging.

"Oh, you know I used to play here as a kid myself, in fact I made my first friends here" Keitaro said with a far off look on his face, "It was also here I made a promise to a girl here to get into Tokyo U together"

"Ah so you're not a Tokyo student" Naruto said with a smirk letting Keitaro he's been found out.

"Well to be honest I never claimed to be a Tokyo U Student, you guys just assumed it although I didn't help by not correcting the situation" Keitaro said sheepishly.

"No problems man, but word of advice tomorrow you should come clean to them, they're good girls and if you don't give them any reason not to, they'll give you a chance" Naruto said face devoid of any joking or aloofness.

"You think so?" Keitaro asked the younger man

"Of course, most people don't like being led on, plus to gain trust you must first give trust, and trusting them not to hate you for not clearing up a messy situation is a good start" Naruto replied.

"Huh, I guess that makes sense, yeah I'll tell them tomorrow, thanks Naruto" Keitaro said with a smile on his face

"No problem man, now let's finish cleaning this bad boy so I can head off to bed" Naruto said with his signature grin.

With that the two men cleaned the open air bath, and then headed off to bed. However Naruto made sure he was the last to fall asleep, as he sent an army of shadow clones to take care of the rest of the repairs not to mention waxing the floors and taking inventory of what might be needed. With that taken care of Naruto got into the bed his beloved Naru was sleeping in and sensing his arrival Naru immediately snuggled into him for warmth and comfort.

Naruto's last thoughts before drifting off were of how awesome it was going to be to run this place.

-End Story-

Okay as you've seen Naru and Keitaro will be a little different than how they are in the manga/anime, why? The butterfly effect. Naruto's presence in the story affected a lot of things, like Naru not falling for seta seeing as she grew up and fell for Naruto instead.

Now Naruto and Naru will remember Keitaro, eventually but for now they just feel a sense of familiarity around him.

Also the whole deal with Naruto not asking about Keitaro's time is he got focused on the whole Keitaro not being a Tokyo U student, however he might and might not remember that conversation sooner or later. We'll just have to wait and see.

Anyway, thanks for putting up with me about this story. I'm re-reading the Love Hina Manga to re accustom myself with the story, that and college, projects, and the occasional curve ball life has decided to throw to me recently. But I've got it taken care of and I have some time now. Now those of you reading Moonlight Warrior, the next chapter should definitely be out sometime this week.

EDIT/ (25/10/14): sorry chapter 3 is taking a while , i've been pretty busy as life has been a bit hectic for me over the summer, but I am working on my stories and should have the next chapters up soon

Thanks for being patient.

Kilroy7087 Over and out.
