Yo, Vanguard Rider here with the second chapter of the story
Blessings
Recap:
"Hina-chan, go to my bedroom, now! It's your father," Naruto shouted inside the apartment.
Hinata was shocked, then proceeded to take Megumi and went to Naruto's bedroom.
"Now, what do you want, Hiashi?!" Naruto asked angrily.
Now:
"Don't worry, Naruto. I mean no harm," Hiashi started.
"Says the father who disowned his daughter last night!" Naruto said angrily, ready to attack.
"I'm sorry about Hinata, but this is about her that you need to know," Hiashi said. Naruto forgot his anger andbecame curious.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"I'll tell you, but first, may I come in?" Hiashi asked.
"Ummmm…..sure," Naruto said as he let Hiashi in his apartment.
Inside the apartment:
"Now, what do you want, Hiashi-sama?" Naruto asked, sitting on the table and Hiashi beside him. Hiashi was shocked at his politeness.
"I want to tell this to both you and Hinata," Hiashi asked without emotion.
"Wait, a moment please," Naruto said as he stood up and walked to the room. A minute later, Hinata came out with a baby in her arms, this made Hiashi raise his eyebrows.
"Naruto, you child?" Hiashi asked, pointing at Megumi.
"H-his ad-dopted c-child Megumi, o-otou-sama," Hinata answered shyly, sitting beside Naruto with Megumi in her arms.
"I see….," Hiashi said, "Naruto, I thank you for taking Hinata with you," he continued, bowing.
"Why are you bowing, Hiashi-sama?" Naruto asked. Now Hinata was shocked at his politeness.
"The reason I disowned Hinata because I was protecting her.
"What do you mean protect her?! She's your daughter for God's sake!" Naruto exclaimed as he stood up. A hand made its way to Naruto's, and it was Hinata's. Due to the exclamation Naruto did, Megumi started to cry. Hinata was shocked then proceeded to quiet down Megumi. Naruto put her hand around Hinata's shoulder, she blushed but continued to quiet down the child. Naruto put his other hand on Megumi's then proceeded to hold it, he also put his head on Hinata's shoulder. Megumi opened her eyes then saw Naruto and Hinata. She giggled for a bit then became tired and slept again.
Hiashi continued, "As I was saying, I am protecting her now from the Caged Bird Seal. I don't want to have one of my daughters sealed, but since they were expecting Hanabi to be clan heir, this gave me a chance to free Hinata from the clan. I'm sorry that I treated you horribly during these past years. The council forced me and were going to put the Caged Bird Seal on you, but since you're free from the clan, they can no longer place the Caged Bird Seal on you. Instead of the clan teaching you more about the Gentle Fist, I will tell Neji to train you instead, starting tomorrow. Please forgive me, Hinata," he bowed again.
"Th-thank you o-otou-sama, I forgive you," Hinata said happy. She gave Naruto Megumi, then went to her father to hug her. Hiashi hugged back, after letting go, she sat back to her original place, next to Naruto and held Megumi again.
"Hinata, how-how can you forgive me that easily?" Hiashi asked, shocked.
Hinata gathered her courage and said, "Because, father, if it weren't for you, we shouldn't be together now." She leaned on Naruto's shoulder and Naruto put his hand around Hinata, having a big grin on his face.
Hiashi chuckled, which shocked the two, and said, "Looks like he won the bet."
"Hiashi-sama, what do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"You see Naruto, your father and I made a bet. He already knew they would have a boy, and if ours were a girl and got together, he wins," Hiashi said still chuckling.
"Wait! You knew my father? Who was he?" Naruto asked excited to know his father.
"I can't tell you that, Naruto, but I can give you a clue. Do a henge into yourself without your whisker marks. Let me say this, Naruto, you look like your father but you act like your mother. And the subject you're going to succeed in is fuinjustsu since your parents were seal masters."
"Wait! You also knew my mother? Who is she? Wait a minute, don't tell me, you're just going to say that you can't tell," Naruto said, a bit saddened.
Naruto went to the bathroom and henged to himself without whisker marks. He looked at the mirror then stared at disbelief. He disabled the henge and ran to the dining room. Hinata was worried and Hiashi was emotionless.
"Y-you mean to tell me, Hiashi-sama, that my father is the Fourth?!" Naruto asked in a loud tone. Hinata was shocked and Hiashi thought, 'He finally figured it out.'
"That is for you to think. I will be going now," Hiashi said before going out.
"Naru-kun, are you okay?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Hina-chan," he said assuringly.
Hinata hugged him with her free hand and Naruto hugged him back.
"Don't worry, Naru-kun, your little family will be here to support you all the way," Hinata said while soothing Naruto.
"Thank you, Hina-chan, you don't know how much this means to me," he said then kissed Hinata full on the lips. Hinata kissed him back. The kissed for a minute, then Naruto broke the kiss and kissed Hinata and Megumi on the forhead. Naruto looked at the time and saw that it was almost 12:00.
"Hina-chan, where did the time go?" He asked jokingly.
Hinata looked at the clock and paled. She missed training.
"Don't worry, Hina-chan, we cannot do anything about it. And besides, you have a good reason for not coming to training," he assured her.
"Your right, Naru-kun, thank you," she said.
They ate lunch, got ready, and left the apartment. Hinata, along with Naruto and Megumi, who is in The basket, went to training ground #10 where Hinata's teammates were. They saw Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai eating their lunch.
"Hey, Hinata-chan!" Kiba shouted, making the others look in his direction.
"Hinata, it's good to see you again." Shino said.
"Hinata, why did you miss training?" Kurenai asked strictly.
"U-Ummm….," Hinata started.
"Kurenai-sensei, she was having some problems with her new home and her father visited her," Naruto answered her.
"What problems?" Kiba asked angrily.
"D-don't worry, Kiba-kun, otou-sama disowned me, but in truth, he was trying to save me from the Caged Bird Seal," Hinata said.
"Then, who are you living with?" Shino and Kurenai asked in unison.
"With me of course!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Now, she finally has a mother and father to take care of her," Naruto finished.
"What do you mean, Naruto?" Kiba asked.
"Kiba-kun, Shino-kun, we would like you to meet Naruto's adopted daughter, Megumi," Hinata said as Naruto showed the other boys her daughter.
"Where did you find her, Naruto?" Shino asked.
"In the woods."
"Okay team, now we should go on a mission, how does that sound? Naruto, you can come with us if you want," Kurenai said as she stood up.
"Really, thank you, sensei," Naruto said.
Team 8 plus Naruto went to the Hokage's office to get their missions.
When they went inside, they saw Tsunade talking with Kakashi.
"Yo, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto greeted him.
"Yo," Kakashi greeted him back.
"Now let's see the missions we have here...," Tsunade said as she looked through scrolls, "Okay! Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai I'll give you a D-rank mission..." Tsunade said.
"Wait, what about Hinata, Tsunade-sama?" Kurenai asked.
"Don't worry, she'll be assigned for another mission, this mission requires Hinata." Tsunade answered her.
"Come on boys, the demon cat has escaped again," Kureanai said angrily.
"Oh, come on! Without Hinata on this mission, we won't be able to finish it," Kiba complained.
"No use, Kiba," Shino said.
"Fine..." Kiba agreed.
"Hokage-sama, I forgot to give you this," Kurenai said as she gave Tsunade a picture. Tsunade looked at the picture and said," Awwwwww. How cute!"
"Ummm, H-hokage-sama, w-what i-is that y-you're holding?" Hinata asked, curious of the photograph.
"A picture about you three," Tsunade said as she showed Hinata the picture Kurenai had taken yesterday. Hinata let out an 'eep!' before she fainted. Naruto quickly, but carefully put the basket down and caught Hinata in his arms. Naruto sat down and put Hinata's head on his lap and put the basket near him. He also began stroking Hinata's face. Naruto didn't care about anything but the beauty on his lap until a cough made him back into reality. He looked up and saw Kiba, Shino, Kurenai, Kakashi, Akamaru, and Tsunade staring at him.
Naruto said, "What? Can't I look at the face of my girlfriend?"
"G-g-girlfriend?!" Kiba shouted, Shino arched an eyebrow, Kurenai gave Hinata a smile, Kakashi gave Naruto an eye smile, and Tsunade gave a smirk.
"What? Is there a problem?" Naruto asked again.
"No, nothing Naruto, we were just surprised that you have a girlfriend at this age," Tsunade said.
Hinata woke up after she said that. When she opened her eyes he saw Naruto's blue eyes looking at her.
"Hinata-chan, you're finally awake!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Y-yeah," Hinata said.
"Well, we better leave. See ya later Hinata," Kiba said.
"I agree," Shino said.
"Bye Hinata," Kurenai said as the three left.
"Bye," HInata said.
Naruto stood up then he also brought Hinata up, lastly he took the basket and carried it with one arm.
"Okay, as I was saying," Tsunade started, "I'm giving you three an A-ranked mission."
"What?!" Naruto promptly shouted, "Who will take care of Megumi-chan?"
"I agree, Tsunade-sama, besides I don't think I'm ready for an A-ranked," Hinata protested.
"Don't worry you two. This A-ranked mission doesn't consist on you three leaving," Tsunade said.
"Then, what does it consist of, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked.
"Hiashi recommended it. He told me to let you three into this mission."
"T-tou-s-san recommended us?!" Hinata asked, shocked to say t least.
"Yes, this mission consist of cleaning a abandoned compound."
"What! This A-ranked mission is just cleaning a house?!" Naruto said.
"Yes, due to its size. It is a compound after all," Kakashi said, "We'll be right over."
"Good, you're dismissed," Tsunade said before they left.
"Alright, let's go to the compound she's talking about," Kakashi said as they headed to the direction of that particular compound.
It took them a few minutes before they appeared in front of the compound.
'T-this compound…..' thought Kakashi as he recognized the gates. The left side of the gate contains the Uzumaki symbol while the right side of the gate contains the Namikaze symbol.
"Whoa, this is one big compound!" Naruto exclaimed.
"I-I a-agree," Hinata said.
"Alright let's go inside. Hinata, you'll take the kitchen, I'll take the living room, while Naruto, you'll take the second floor."
The two nodded Hinata went to the living room, Kakashi was cleaning the living room, Naruto was performing the shadow clone jutsu. Hundreds of Naruto popped into existence. A third of it went to help Hinata in the kitchen. A second third of it helped Kakashi in the living room. The remaining went upstairs. A few were cleaning the bathroom, the others went to the guest bedrooms, another went to the dojo, one was taking care of Megumi, the remaining along with the original were cleaning the master bedroom. The original went inside and saw a large bed, a crib, pictures on the nightstand. Naruto saw two scrolls on top of the bed. One red and another yellow. On the surface Naruto's name was written on it. Naruto was curious. He took the yellow one first and began to read:
Dear Naruto,
Hello Naruto, my son. I am sorry for sealing the Kyuubi in you. If you get this then it means that me and Kushina died. I am truly sorry for sealing him in you. I know that I will die an early death, so I gave you someone who can keep you strong. Forgive me, Naruto, remember that I always love you.
Your father,
Namikaze Minato, Yondaime of Konoha
A tear fell off Naruto face as he began to read the red one:
My little Naruto,
If you're reading this then it means me and Minato are dead. I'm sorry if we couldn't be there to hear you first words, see your first steps, your first day at the academy, the day you become a genin and so on. We died so we can give you a better future. I hope you can be happy and remember that we are always with you, ttebane!
With love,
Kushina Uzumaki, wife of the Yondime
P.S. If you see your godfather, Jiraiya, please whack him in the head for me.
P.P.S. You are betrothered. The documents are in the study room of the Namikaze compound.
Naruto let his tears fall freely from his face and said, "I love you too, Mom, Dad."
After a few hours they finished cleaning. Naruto got the memories of the clones and was shocked of the size of the house. Hinata noticed that Naruto's eyes were red and puffy.
"Naruto, are you okay?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just happy to know that I finally know who my parents were," he answered.
"Who were they?" Hinata asked.
"His parents were Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina," answered Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, how did you know that?" Naruto asked.
"I was his student when I was young," he answered.
"Really?!" Naruto asked excited to know about his parents.
"Yes, and I will tell you another time because I'll be helping you two move in," he said.
"Move in?" Naruto and Hinata asked in unison.
"Yes, Tsunade asked me to do this before you came in."
"Okay then let's do this," Naruto said as he made a hundred shadow clones. The hundred shadow clones went to Naruto and Hinata's apartment and took their stuff and sending them to the Namikaze compound. They finished after an hour and the three (Naruto, Hinata, and Megumi) are settling in the compound. Naruto was in the study room with fifty shadow clones learning fuinjutsu. Naruto was looking at the betrothal and was shocked to say at least. He found out that the person he was betrothed to is Hinata. He saw that they will get married when they both became sixteen or if they both become chuunin, whichever comes first. He left the study and went to the dining room where Hinata was cooking dinner. Megumi is in the basket on the table. She started to cry, so Naruto took a bottle and fed her. After he fed her, she quickly became asleep. Hinata was serving dinner.
"Hinata-chan, you're a really good cook," Naruto complimented her as they finished eating.
"Th-thank you, Naruto-kun," Hinata said.
"Hinata, there is something I have to tell you," Naruto said as his face grew serious.
"What is it, Naru-kun?" Hinata asked.
"Do you know what happened thirteen years ago?"
"Yes that was the attack you the Kyuubi right? And your father defeated him."
"Yes, dad beat him but he can't kill him because he is a demon so he sealed it in a newborn baby. Do you know who the baby was Hinata?"
"Y-you m-mean…."
"Yes, the Kyuubi was sealed in me. Dad wanted everyone to treat me as a hero, but I ended up as the demon. I understand if you don't want me anymore."
Naruto felt Hinata hugging her and crying on his chest. "T-thank you, Naruto."
"What for, Hinata-chan?"
"Y-you've been saving us all this time from the Kyuubi. Thank you."
"Hinata-chan, I also have some other news."
"What is it, Naru-kun?"
"I am betrothed," he said simply.
"No, no, no, no! I don't want you to leave me."
"Don't worry about that, Hina-chan, I won't leave you. Do you know who I'm betrothed to?"
Hinata shook her head.
"I am betrothed to you," he said then he gave Hinata a deep passionate kiss. Hinata was shocked for a moment then he began to kiss him back. Her arms were wrapped around his neck while his were wrapped around her waist. They kissed passionately for several minutes. Then the separated, leaving them breathless.
"I love you, my beautiful vixen."
"I love you too, my handsome fox."
The three went to the master's bedroom. Naruto and Hinata put Megumi on the crib, sleeping soundly. Naruto and Hinata were cuddling on the bed. Hinata's head on was Naruto's chest. Naruto's arms were wrapped around her waist.
"Goodnight, my Hina-chan," Naruto said.
"Goodnight, my Naru-kun," Hinata replied as she cuddled on his chest before sleeping.
'Thank you Kami for giving me a wonderful child and an angel who will always be by my side. Thank you for giving me this blessing,' he thought as he slept.
