Chapter 3: "Godmother!"

Not only were Aki newfound friends astonished, but also her cousin as well. Hinata couldn't help but to be hurt that her closest cousin had not deemed it important to inform her of such fact, while Sakura was extremely jealous of this Aki Hyuuga.

Oblivious to the other's troublous thoughts, Aki proceeded to hug her Nana.

"Nana, you couln't believe how happy I was when I found out you became the Hokage!" Aki said.

"Yeah, I can only imagine 60,000 yen will make anybody happy," replied the embittered Hokage, as Aki nervously scratched her head, disturbingly similar to Naruto's 'I got caught' expression.

Not able to hold it anymore, Hinata asked, "Aki, how come Tsunade-sama is your Godmother? and what about 60,000 yen? "

"Well, Atsuko is my best friend, it's only natural that I became the Godmother to her first born, and AKi here, made a bet with her dad that I would return to Konoha anyway" answered the Hokage herself as Aki beamed at her beloved Nana. With twinkling eyes, she added, "Yeah, and Nana has always visited us when she could, right Nana? Remember that time at the Dancing Bear when ..." but she never got to finish when a hand came rushing to hush her up.

---------------xXx-------------------- Somewhere Far, Far Away :( ok approximately 14.5 kilometers ):

"Hurry up dobe," said a quiet, yet forceful voice.

"If you hadn't let that idiot get ahold of your damn hair and you shouted like a girl!!!"

"Yare, Yare, what's done is done, we'd better get going before Hokage-sama gets angry," replied a bored voice.

"Since when have you cared when she gets angry?" replied an indignant voice.

"I must agree with dickless here, Copy Nin, Uchiha does scream like a girl, not as bad as the Hag, but close" added a cheery voice.

Holding said screaming Uchiha was all Naruto could do from stopping the raven haired Jounin from killing his comrade.

Thanks to the silent order for them to stop arguing the group was able to reach the Hokage's office on time to meet the rest of the party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aki was barely containing her laughter as Sakura encouraged her to finish her story about the time Tsunade had been fooled by her little Godchild into drinking water and making her believe it was Snow's finest sake, so smooth and fine, it almost tasted like water.

Embarrassed and peeved by the fact that her own subordinates were laughing at her, Tsunade was contemplating a route of escape when the rest of Team Kakashi showed up.

"Tsunade-baachan!" a shout was heard.

"Huh? So much for stealthy ninjas," said Tsunade as she buried her head in her hands, her day was only getting worse and there was no sake by hand, her deceiving goddaughter had confiscated it at first glance.

"Baa-chan! We're back!" the loud blond continued to shout.

Weary and suffering with Naturo syndrome the rest of the team quietly made their way into the office, which was already crowded. What met their sights was the usual group of SITH or SHITy Kunoichis as Sai usually called them, though not at their faces, and another woman, one whom they didn't know but would soon wished they had never met.

"Hokage-sama, mission completed," said Kakashi as he observed Aki from the corner of his eyes. As far as he knew, he thought he had already met all Hyugas, but this was a new face, so he did what he always did, tried to read as much as he could off her and then continue to ignore her. Yet the more he looked, the more he kept looking, until Tsunade had to clear her throat to get his attention, but he was soon relieved to find that he had not been the only one gawking.

The mission report was suspended in account of Naruto loudly asking who was the dark-haired chick sitting next to his obaa-chan.

This time, Sakura did the honors and introduced her new friend, "Aki, this here is Sasuke-kun, Narutard, and Kakashi-sensei, guys this is Aki Hyuuga."

"What about me, Hag? Or is your sight already failing, it's good though, you won't have to see yourself in the mirror anymore," said Sai as he turned towards Aki and said, "Enchanted, ma cherie, it gives me great honor to make an acquaintance with another member of your prestigious clan," as he took her hand and softly kissed it.

Aki could not help herself and gave him an enchanting smile in return, while everybody else was falling to the grounds. Never had they ever seen Sai be this cordial to anybody, they didn't even know he could form adequate greetings, let alone in another langauge.

French! The idiot speaks to her in French and calls her Ma Cherie! What the hell is a macherie anyway? Iit's probably something poisenous!!! Fumed indignant Inner Sakura.

"Yo," was Kakashi's composed greeting.

"You're Hatake Kakashi? Ah it's such a pleasure to meet you!" exclaimed Aki as she got rid of Sai's hold and made her way towards the Copy Nin.

Never had Kakashi been so proud of himself and thankful for his fame, who knew being in the Bingo books was this great. Beaming at the beautiful Hyuga, he gave her his famous one-eyed smile that had her making googlie eyes.

"Koyuki-hime never mentioned how handsome you were," she said.

"Hey! Did she say anything about me?" asked Naruto, who was not the only one annoyed that his sensei seemed to take all of Aki's attention. A certain Uchiha was also annoyed that Hyuga had basically ignored him; no female had ever done such a thing.

"You are?" asked Aki, although she already knew the answer.

"How dare!,…I am Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage! Believe It!" was his exciting, if not exhausting reply.

"Riiight"

"Áki, if you're done tormenting that baka, get your butt here and sign this," said Tsunade as she forced a quill on the girl's hand.

As soon as she had neatly scribbled her name on the scroll, Tsunade said, "Good, I have a mission for you already."

"Ah Nana, you cheated!" said a pouting Aki.

"She's a kunoichi?" Asked an incredulous Naruto, but nobody seemed to pay attention, since this was news to everybody else besides Tsunade and Hinata.

"Stop your whinning, you'll have three days before departure and since this is a joined effort, you'll be practicing with Kakashi's group, so you can get a better feel for this mission. Kakashi, you'll be debriefed soon, now Everybody Get Out!"

Soon enough everyone was scurrying away, even Aki was quietly making her way out until she heard, "Not You! Aki"

She then turned to her cousin with pleading eye and Hinata could only smile and run for her own life.

Important Notes: Hey everyone (Who actually reads this!) I hope you all like this chapter.

Here are somethings I must clarify: SITH stands for Sakura, Ino,Tenten, and Hinata, but can also be converted into SHIT, leave it to Sai to change the anagram into SHITy. I also couldn't resist putting the "Believe It"" like the Eng. Dubbed version says, It just tickles me purple! I also want to give a shout out to my beta xXnarutofan22Xx!
