The Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto

"So, how excited are you exactly," asked Hinata, who was comfortably positioned in the crook of Naruto's neck with his arm draped casually over her.

Naruto inhaled the crisp morning air and gazed over Konoha from their vantage point atop the fourth Hokage's head. "I don't know, five in a half? Six maybe."

Hinata jabbed him in his side. "Liar. In a few hours your life long dream of becoming Hokage is about to come true. There's no way you're just a 'five, maybe a six.'"

Naruto turned in gave her a huge cheese grin, "It's better then I ever imagined. Not only am I now going to be the Hokage but also I get to have the most beautiful woman in the entire village to stand next to me while I do it. "

"Oh? And who's this?" She asked teasingly. "Should I be jealous?"

"You can be if you wanted to, but that some personality disorder to be jealous of themselves," he tightened his arm around her and started far too seriously than Naruto rarely ventured. "You are by far the most beautiful woman in this entire village and I want to stand by no one else but you from now till eternity."

A deep blush formed on Hinata's face as she buried it in her hands in embarrassment. Though she had come a long way since childhood Naruto still had a certain sway over her that reduced her to a blushing, stuttering schoolgirl.

"Na-naruto-kun."

Naruto gave her a quick peck on the top of her head and shot up from their perch. He peered over to where a large crowd was gathering near the Hokage's tower.

"It's time. Are you ready Hinata?" He asked, excitedly.

Hinata's resolved waivered a bit as she stood to her feet. "I can't believe you talked me into this Naruto. I hope this isn't received as disrespectful."

"Aw, it will be great. The past Kages would want to join in the fun."

"Ah…"

"Got the button?"

"Yeah," Hinata replied as she held out the trigger.

"Okay," Naruto confidently said as he straightened his leaf headband and adjusted his trench coat. "Count to five," he ordered as he vanished.

"One… Two… Three… Four…" Hinata pressed the button and couldn't help but cover her face as the Hokage Mountain erupted in a display of fireworks and noisemakers. Streamers and confetti blew over Konoha in jolly festivities. Hinata couldn't see through the smoke clearly but could hear Naruto loudly over the intercoms over on the pavilion.

"Naruto is here!"

A/N: Well… Yeah… R&R
