Hi Guys!

"Memories"


"Grandpa, Can I ask you something?" asked Natsuko nervously while fidgeting.

"She really is just like you, Hinata." thought Hiashi.

"Sure, Suko." replied Hiashi. He patted her head to ease her nervousness.

"Well, I was wondering If you could tell me about Kaa-chan." asked Natsuko. Hiashi was surprised by the question, he knew Natsuko would want to know about her mother but never thought that she would ask him now.

"Grandpa, please can you tell me just a bit about Kaa-chan? Tou-chan never talks about Kaa-chan and whenever I try to ask him, he always changes the topic." said Natsuko confidently.

"Let's see... Hinata was always calm but never confident in herself, she worked harder and strived to change herself for the better. In the 4th shinobi world war, her bravery and confidence was exceptional and I am proud to call her my daughter." said Hiashi.

"I wish I could've met her." said Natsuko sadly.

"There you are~~Suko-chan~~~." said Konohamaru.

"Hi Uncle Konohamaru!" said Natsuko running towards her uncle and giving him a tight hug.

"Go downstairs. Hanabi and Haru are waiting for you." said Konohamaru. Natsuko made her way downstairs.

"You know, Tou-san. You shouldn't have told her about Hinata Onee-chan now." said Konohamaru seriously.

"Relax, Konohamaru. There is no harm in telling Natsuko a little about her mother." replied Hiashi.

"I know, It's just that I don't want her to be sad. Naruto Onii-chan's already hurt. You miss Onee-chan badly too, don't you?" said Konohamaru.

"...Yes..." whispered Hiashi.

"I'm going downstairs. Are you coming?" asked Konohamaru.

"I'll be down in a few minutes." replied Hiashi. Konohamaru walked downstairs, leaving Hiashi in silence.

"Hinata..." thought Hiashi.


"Auntie Hanabi~!Haru!." yelled Natsuko, in hopes of finding her aunt and cousin.

"Suko-chan~~~." said Hanabi and ran towards her niece, embracing her.

"Auntie, Where's Haru?" questioned Natsuko.

"She's sleeping. You know, the birthday girl should also get some sleep, tomorrow's gonna be a big day for you." replied Hanabi with a small smile.

"Okay, just give me a few minutes." Natsuko asked in a pleading voice. Hanabi agreed and went to her room in the Hyuga compound. Natsuko ran towards the Hyuga garden. One day, Natsuko accidentally heard her uncle and aunt's conversation in which they were talking about the garden and how Hinata used to take care of the plants and just sit there peacefully. Natsuko laid on the grass and sighed as the wind blew past her.

"I wish you were here...Kaa-chan..." whispered Natsuko as tears started falling down her porcelain face and fell asleep on the grass. Hanabi who was watching her, cried silently.


"Yosh, all done." said Naruto while sighing. He stood up from his chair and disappeared in a flash. He appeared in front of the Hyuga mansion and made his way inside.

"Naruto Onii-chan." said both Konohamaru and Hanabi. Naruto smiled at them.

"Hanabi, can you bring Suko-chan here?" asked Konohamaru, she nodded and went to the garden.

"Naruto Onii-chan, How are you feeling?" asked Konohamaru, concerned for his health.

"I'm always good, Konohamaru. You worry too much." said Naruto.

"Onii-chan, you-" said Konohamaru but was interrupted when the 8 year old ran past him and hugged her father like there was no tomorrow.

"Yay, you're back!" said Natsuko, delighted by her father's return.

"Ready to go home ttebayo?" asked Naruto. Natsuko nodded.

"Hai ttebane." replied Natsuko.

"Well, see you guys later." said Naruto.

"Bye Uncle Konohamaru, Auntie Hanabi. Say goodbye to grandpa, Haru and everyone in the clan for me." said Natsuko with a wide smile and waving back. Both daughter and father vanished.

"Natsuko really calms people and makes the atmosphere more friendly." stated Hanabi. Konohamaru nodded.

"So, what did you get for her birthday?" asked Konohamaru, trying to lighten the mood. Hanabi smiled sadly.

"It's something that reminds me of Onee-chan and you know her, she loves anything that is related to Onee-chan." said Hanabi.

"Yeah, It's been 8 years." said Konohamaru.


Both Naruto and Natsuko were eating their ramen.

"I win ttebane!" declared Natsuko as she slurped the last of her ramen.

"No fair ttebayo!" answered Naruto with a pout.

"I'm seriously going to throw up just by watching you and your daughter have a 'ramen eating contest'." said kyubi

"You're just jealous because you can't eat this much ramen." said Naruto to kyubi.

"For once, you're right but you got defeated by your daughter." said the kyubi.

"Okay, Suko. Time to eat your veggies." said Naruto getting into his father mode. Natsuko followed her dad's orders.

"Go brush your teeth." said Naruto sweetly.

"Hai." answered Natsuko and went upstairs to the bathroom.

Naruto took of his robes and dressed in his Pajamas and flopped on his master bed and after a couple of minutes, Natsuko jumped on his bed and laid down.

"Okay now, We've got a big day ahead of us. You have to go to the Academy and I have to give the genin teams some missions and then we're going to have a huge party." said Naruto with a big grin.

"I can't wait!" said Natsuko excitedly.


"Come on, Suko-chan. Rise and shine, Hime-sama." said Naruto. Natsuko just groaned.

"You'll be late for the academy." said Naruto.

"I'm up!" said Natsuko, running towards the bathroom to change. Naruto chuckled.

"Okay, Breakfast done, Lunch packed, Bandages and medicines checked, Hiraishin Kunai checked, Books and notebooks checked and extra ramen checked. Now you're all set." said Naruto. Naruto then wore his Hokage robes and with Natsuko on his shoulders, he appeared in front of the academy. Naruto put Natsuko down and crouched to her level.

"Happy Birthday, Natsuko!." said Naruto happily as he embraced his daughter and kissed her cheek. Natsuko grinned widely and returned the hug. Naruto stood up, waved and disappeared.

Naruto sat on his chair and began to give the missions to the genin teams.


At five, Natsuko entered her house and she saw darkness everywhere. She moved forward and after entering the hall. The lights were switched on.

"Happy Birthday, Suko~!" shouted the people in the house with glee. Natsuko was surprised and then quickly laughed. She could see all her aunts, uncles and friends but could not see her father, she got disappointed. Naruto who was behind his daughter, tapped Natsuko's shoulder gently. This startled Natsuko and she turned to find her father grinning at her.

"I would never miss your birthday, ttebayo. I'll always be there for you, no matter what." said Naruto sweetly. Natsuko's eyes were getting teary and tears started spilling from her eyes. She embraced him and he gladly returned the hug.

"Arigatou, Tou-chan." thanked Natsuko.

"Uncle Konohamaru, where is grandpa?" asked the midnight-haired girl. Konohamaru patted her head.

"He had a meeting but he'll come as soon as it's finished." replied Konohamaru.

"Suko-chan~~~~!" said all of her aunts who were hugging Natsuko tightly.

"Back off Forehead, I'm her favourite aunt." stated Ino.

"In you dreams Pig, I'm her precious aunt." retorted Sakura.

"Ladies, I think you all are forgetting something. I'm her number one aunt." said Tenten.

"Ten, I don't want to be rude but I'm her special aunt." said Matsuri.

"Wrong, sister-in-law. I'm Suko-chan's sweetest aunt." said Temari. All the women in the party started glaring at each other.

"Suko-chan, who is your favourite aunt?" asked all the women in unision. Natsuko gulped and mouthed 'Help me' to her uncles who were shivering from their wives. Even Naruto, who was afraid of every single one of them. All of them heard footsteps and turned around to find the most dangerous kunoichi.

"Who died and made you all queen, I'm the girl's real and most favoured aunt." said Hanabi calmly, folding her arms against her waist. Hanabi is very possessive about her niece. All of them stopped glaring and started laughing and Natsuko calmed down. All the men sweat-dropped.

"I will never understand women." said Sasuke.

"They are just too troublesome." said Shikamaru.

"Don't even give you food when you make them angry or sad." said Chouji.

"Just throw weapons at you like you're some kind of a practice dummy." said Lee.

"If you don't give them what they want, they'll take over your position as Kazekage." said Gaara.

"I'm lucky. My wife is on a mission." said Kiba.

"Don't forget that your wife is not the only one who is on a mission." said Shino.

"I know, I know. I get it. Your wife is on a mission too." said Kiba angrily.

"I'm glad I'm single." said Sai.

"Me too." said Kankuro. Everyone glared at them.

"Sure, they are troublesome and all but we love our wives." stated Shikamaru and everyone nodded. The men looked to see Naruto sitting on a distant sofa.

"Come on, Kid. Enjoy the party." said kyubi.

"Kurama, do you think I'm a good father?" questioned Naruto.

"Truthfully speaking, you are." answered kyubi.

"Tou-chan, are you okay?" questioned the birthday girl.

"Yup!" said Naruto. Natsuko knew that look and she knew there was something that troubled her father.

"OKAY! Time for the Suko-chan to blow the candles and make a wish." said Hanabi. Naruto took Natsuko's hand and took her to the table where the cake and varieties of dishes were placed. The cake was quite large and was a pineapple flavoured cake and had eight small candles. Natsuko stood in the middle, clasped her hands and closed her eyes.

"I wish Kaa-chan was here with us." wished Natsuko and blew the candles. Everyone clapped and cheered. After cake and dinner had been eaten. It was time for the presents.
