One dream gets closer another taken away :D
Naruto Uzumaki let out an annoyed sigh as he lay in bed the new morning sun shined through his window waking him up. He opened an eye to look at his alarm clock in big red numbers it shown 5 am. Naruto sat up and gave out a big yawn. He walked towards his bathroom and turned on the shower stepping in. The warm water helped wake up his body and mind. After turning off the water and getting dressed he headed to his kitchen to eat breakfast. Naruto's breakfast always consisted if ramen and a glass of milk. While eating he contemplated on what he should today.
'Well baa-chan gave me three days of vacation for escorting that official to the capital and killing those assassins so I might as well as train.'
Naruto finished up his breakfast and ran out the door leaving the dishes on the table. He bounded to the training ground and upon reaching it he noticed no one was around.
"Well this should be fun!" Naruto made a hand sign and 20 clones appeared.
All the clones looked around at each other and smiled.
"Okay everyone you know the drill!"
The clones yelled in unison "HAI!"
In an instant all of them charger at the original. Naruto created a Rasengan and struck it at the ground causing it to explode infront of him sending debris flying everywhere 10 of the clones jumped seeing this while the other 10 were to slow and were caught in the attack. They poofed away the 10 in the air threw kunai, Naruto jumped back and took out two paper bombs and through them at a speed only he could see.
BOOM
They exploded defeating the rest of his clones. Naruto landed and made a hand sign 30 clones appeared.
Three hours later…
Naruto was sitting on the ground panting.
'That was fun ha wish Sasuke-teme was here though, training would be more challenging.'
To every civilian he was still thought of as a hero upon his return. Yet all of the Konoha 11 knew that he and Naruto had an all out fight and Naruto had ended up knocking some sense into him. Sauske realized with his brother dead he was all alone until Naruto got it through his head that he still had friends in the village. Sauske was reinstated with no trouble thanks to the council they were bent on reviving the Uchiha clan and gaining more power. Sauske was ranked as an anbu captain and one of the best at that.
'I wonder how much longer he'll be gone a simple A ranked mission shouldn't have lasted five days.'
Naruto shrugged his shoulders and put the thought at the back of his mind. He got up and dusted off his legs before turning and running back to his house. He was going to get cleaned off then bum around the village for a while. Naruto reached his front door then stopped his door was slightly open. Naruto whipped out a kunai and silently crept into his house. He heard footsteps in his kitchen and made his way in with no noise. A woman with short pink hair was washing his dishes and didn't seem to notice him. Naruto was put at ease and put his kunai away.
"Sakura-chan what are you doing here?"
Sakura turned and gave him an irritated smile.
"Well I came to see how you were doing I haven't seen you in about a week."
Naruto scratched the back of his head and gave a little chuckle.
"Ha I was on a mission escorting an official to the capital and just got back yesterday… wait why are you doing my dishes?"
"When I looked for you I saw that you left some dirty dishes, honestly Naruto do you ever clean after yourself?"
Naruto stuck his tongue out at her "You know my place isn't as bad as it used to be."
Sakura could only cringe at the memories dirty clothes everywhere, dishes piled high, dirt everywhere. As Naruto got older he learned the importance of cleaning and now his apartment was clean enough minus the few dirty dishes.
"Okay your right about that."
They both talked for a while just catching up after about 20 minutes Sakura brought up the real reason she came.
"Naruto look the real reason I came was… Tsunade-sama wanted you to know that your ceremony for taking over for hokage has been moved up.
Naruto's face lit up "WHAT…REALLY WHEN!!!"
Sakura covered her ears at his happy yelling.
"She moved it from three months from now to one."
Naruto was still grinning like mad "That's great but why would she want to speed it up?"
Sakura sighed 'Because she's tired of all the paper work and not being gamble when she wants.'
"She believes you have achieved all of the qualifications faster than expected."
Sakura waited to see if Naruto could hear the lie in her tone but being the same old Naruto he ran and hugged her.
"Thanks for telling me Sakura-chan!"
She giggled a little even though he has become a powerful ninja deep down he's still the same blonde knucklehead. Naruto released her from his grasp and she backed away a little.
"Alright I am going to head to the shopping district and run some errands."
"K thanks for the news Sakura-chan."
Sakura left his apartment and Naruto was sitting at his table with just one thought on his mind.
'I am going to be the hokage.'

Hanabi was currently sitting beside her father and looking at the elder Hyuga council. An emergency meeting was just called and she had no idea why. Her father seemed deeply troubled his brow furrowed. She looked around seeing that the elders were speaking amongst themselves. Then after a few minutes they stopped and looked directly at Hiashi. Hiashi finally broke the partial silence sounding a little irritated.
"Will you please enlighten me on why this meeting has been called?"
The oldest of the elders spoke first.
"Hiashi-sama we have called you here because we have a proposal that will benefit for the entire clan."
Hiashi raised an eye brow "What would that happen to be?"
An elder coughed and drew the attention of both Hanabi and Hiashi.
"We have all been watching the branch member Neji Hyuga your nephew closely and…"
The elder froze as Hiashi was starting to radiate a killing intent.
"AND WHAT!"
"W..w..well we believe that it would be best for the clan that in three months when you step away from the head of the clan… he takes your place."
Hanabi's mouth dropped and Hiashi radiated anger.
"What do you mean take over Hanabi is the heir she will take over as head after me."
The elders put on an emotionless façade.
"Hiashi-sama he has shown the most skill of any member of the clan he has defeated you and both of your daughters. He is highly intelligent, one of the most honorable ninja in the village, and his use of the Byakugan is on par to none."
Hiashi cooled a little as Hanabi seemed to grow angrier, she burst.
"How dare you bring this up there is no way my father would allow a branch member to become the head of the clan."
Hiashi studied all of the elders and looked at his daughter with a sad gaze.
"Hanabi I am afraid that I cannot over rule them in this choice."
Her head darted to her father.
"What do you mean you're the head there's no way they can overrule you right?
"I am afraid that if all of them choose Neji I have no power to deny them."
"He is right Hanabi we are sorry but Neji is the best choice for the safety and strength of the clan."
She looked at them and then her father he didn't meet her gaze. For the first time in her life Hanabi felt powerless after all of the hard work her future seemed to have been ripped from right under her. She shot up and ran out of the room and out of the compound not knowing where she was running only knowing she had to get away.
Hiashi shook his head and glared at the elders.
"We are sorry Hiashi-sama but it is for the best of the clan."
He rose and left to his study he had much to think about.
-----------------------------------------------
Naruto was laying on his bed content with life at the moment. He had nothing to worry about he had great friends, there were no major threats like the Akatsuki, and he was going to achieve his dream in a month yep life was good.
'Yet I can't shake the feeling that something's wrong…'
A few knocks on his front door caught his attention. He got up and trolled to his door a little drowsy from lying in bed doing nothing. Upon opening it he found a sight he never thought he would see.
Hanabi crying…
She stood there looking a little out of breath. Her eyes were red and a little puffy with fresh tears falling her face. She looked up to meet Naruto's crystal clear blue eyes.
"C…Can I come in?" Naruto nodded and stepped out of the way as she stepped in he closed the door and turned to face her. With her back turned he put his hand on her shoulder trying to get he to face him.
"Hanabi-chan what happened?" She wouldn't turn and he could still hear sniffling.
He did the only comforting thing he could think of at the moment. Naruto stepped closer and encircled his arms around her. Hanabi tensed not use to this kind of affection but calmed a little as his he rested his head on top of her head he nuzzled a little making her blush.
"Hanabi-chan what happened? I promise I won't tell anyone."
She lowered her head and stepped away from him a little to turn around but still have his arms rapped loosely around her waist. Naruto brought a hand up to brush away a few stray tears then put his arm back in the position from before.
"A meeting was called today by the elders…"
She paused and took a small breath keeping her tears back.
"And they told my father that instead of me… Neji-san will be taking over as head of the clan and not me."
She buried her head into his chest and let more tears fall. Naruto instinctively brought a hand up to slowly caress her back trying to sooth her.
"Hanabi-chan it'll be alright."
"No it won't, all of that training all of the isolation from other people my age just so I could be brought up to act cold, calculating, and emotionless doing everything for the damn clan."
She paused a little out of breath.
"A..and to have the one thing that made it worth it ripped away… tell me how that fair, how is is that okay!"
She looked up into his eyes looking for any sign of an answer that would make everything make sense. A frown was apparent on his face he had no answer.
"I… well I have no clue I'm sorry you shouldn't of had to go through any of that no one should."
She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest again. Naruto rested his forehead on the top of hers. He kept hold her until the cries stopped only left with the occasional hiccup. Naruto backed away a little but her hold on him became tighter.
He spoke in a soft tone "its okay I'm still here I'm not going anywhere."
She loosened her hold and Naruto quickly scooped her up. Hanabi gave him a questioning look and he just flashed her a foxy grin.
"Trust me when I was younger and I cried I always wanted to sleep."
Hanabi was about to say she wasn't a little kid she was 15 but a yawn escaped her small mouth. Naruto reached his room and sat her down on his bed.
"Well you can take a nap here I'll be in the living room if you need anything."
As he got up he felt a small hand grip his wrist.
"Naruto could you please just stay… until I fall asleep?"
A small smile snuck onto his lips.
"Yea I'll stay just scoot over."
Hanabi scooted to give him room. Naruto put his left arm around her and Hanabi blushed before snuggling a little closer. She ended up resting her head on his right shoulder and draping her left arm over his chest a blush was apparent on her face but she kept her eyes closed. Both of them had one thought on their minds.
'Today I get some of the best news I have ever heard then I find out Hanabi's biggest goal was taken away from her but holding her like this feels good… Wait that's wrong she's 3 years younger and Hinata-chans sister.'
'This has been the worst day I've ever had I get my dream taken away from me and my father didn't even try to stand up for me. The only good thing to come from it is that I have gotten closer to Naruto-kun… wait why did I call him Naruto-kun and why would I want to get close to him… I am just here for comfort and Naruto's good at that.'
Hanabi fell asleep her mind still battling over that she just came for comfort. Naruto felt her breathing get slower until finally it evened out. He looked down and smiled Hanabi looked like an angel when she slept there was no scowl just a look of peace.
Naruto was awoken from his thought when he heard a knock at his front door.
'I swear if it's another crying friend I am going to have to get a bigger bed.'
Naruto slowly rolled Hanabi off of him he stood up and Hanabi let out a small whimper and her brow furrowed. Naruto bent down and stoked her face a few times until she relaxed and he went for the door. He opened it and on the other end was an enraged Neji.
"Hey Neji what's up…
