(A): I do not own Naruto or any of the characters or concepts except my own. This is my first story so constructive criticism is appreciated. I do not update regularly so chapters will come out when they come out.

Chapter 2: Decisions

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Writing

Biju and Summon, Same as above but bold

Hiruzen POV

After the words had left her mouth there was a knock at the door. Looking at the door then to the young girl a sense of nerves stole over the old man. These were the men he had asked to be brought here. They are the men he trusts. They are all strong and single, able to marry his granddaughter.

"Enter" as the command left his lips, the door opened, but his eyes never left the blue eyes before him. It was only when the sound of shuffling stopped that he looked at the men.

Kakashi Hatake; the last of the Hatake clan, dog summoner, captain of the Anbu Black Ops, Anbu Inu who guarded Naru when she was young, known as the copy ninja or sharingan Kakashi, one of the strongest shinobi in the village, and last student of Naru's father.

Gai Might; premier taijutsu master in Konoha, one of the strongest men in the village, very loyal and protective of his comrades, one of Naru's Anbu guards, Genbu, known as Konoha's Green Beast.

Hiashi Hyuga; clan head of the Hyuga clan, elite jonin, powerful political leader in the council and with the daimyo, Minato's teammate and best friend, sent branch members to watch over Naru and bring her fresh food.

Genma Shiranui; last of the Shiranui, projectile specialist, Anbu guard to the hokage, Kitsune, knows a version of Minato's hiraishin, saved Naru from numerous mobs.

Each man cares about the young jinchuriki and would protect and care for her to their fullest. He wished that they could be closer to her age but only someone with power behind their name could protect her right now. A clan heir would not save her. She needs someone that the council cannot say no to.

"You called for us, Hokage-sama." Stated Hiashi. His smooth voice and straight face not showing any emotion. Naru was silently watching from her chair against the wall behind them. None of the men had noticed her. Hiruzen walked behind his desk to address them.

"Yes. I have some important news to share with you and then someone will need to make a decision."

Each man looked at the other in confusion. "Very well Hokage-sama." Said Genma.

"Thirteen years ago a tragedy struck our village when the Nine Tails attacked. You all know this. What you don't know is that that same day I hid away a child, a new born girl, in plain sight. This child still faced hardships but they could have been much worse. I have had her trained in secret by not only myself but a few that I trust. Today is one that has and will change her life. For your part, as men that I trust above all others, is that one of you will marry that smart, powerful, beautiful young girl and protect her not only physically but also politically. Is that understood?"

The men nodded.

"Now, each of you know the young lady in question in some form. She is the one who will choose who it is that she will marry. And she will choose right now. Do not look behind you and Hiashi no turning on your Byakugan. I want her to feel comfortable as she determines her future. So no staring at her." With that said he nodded towards the young blond who nodded back.

He watched as the young girl looked at the backs of each of the men. Probably reliving memories from when they had helped or saved her in some form judging by the emotions crossing her face. Each man was close to 'Naruto'. She paused in looking at the men and just stood there deep in thought until her face went blank.

Hiruzen understood that she was talking to the biju sealed within her by her own father. They had met when Naru was four when she was being beaten by some villagers. He found out afterwards that it was orchestrated by the now former orphanage matron. Naru quickly befriended the nine tailed fox and now asks him for advice on things that she is uncertain with.

The men before him shifted slightly as minutes went by but did not look back for they understood the big decision that the girl was having to make.

Finally Naru looked up with determination in her eyes and nodded at him.

"Alright gentleman, it looks as though she has come to a decision. The man she is going to marry is..." with those words he watched as she raised her hand and pointed. "Kakashi Hatake."

The silver haired man stepped forward and waited for his future wife to join him before the hokage. He glanced to the side when the others gasped and a glint of gold had entered his vision.

Eyes widened at the sight of Naru, recognition crossing their faces. "Yes, Naruto Uzumaki was in fact Naru Uzumaki Namikaze. Now Kakashi, you must protect her but don't smother her. Let her fight and learn but keep her safe from those who wish to use her. The wedding will be tomorrow morning here in my office. Kakashi you will have to grab your formal clan Kimono. I will take care of Naru's. All of you are invited to attend and would one of you pass the invitation on to Iruka? Tell him to come an hour early though. We didn't get the chance to tell him anything due to my former teammates."

Genma nodded and stated he would since they live in the same building.

"Is it alright if I bring my daughters? They could help Naru get ready and be her confidents." Asked Hiashi.

"That would be up to Naru to decide."

"I have no problem with them coming. I can see myself becoming great friends with Hinata so this would be a great start."

"Very well then. We will meet here by six in the morning and you two," waving his hand at Kakashi and Naru," will be married by eight. The council meeting will be at noon. This way the paperwork will be filed and final when it starts."

Everyone nodded in agreement to the plan. "You are dismissed then."

The men and Naru leave the room while the Hokage draws up the papers he will need for tomorrow.

From now on I will try to include suggestions to other stories at the end. Here is the first one.
