Chapter 6: To Become Hokage

…

I love my sister; she is very precious to me.

…

I can't even begin to think, nor do I want to think, about how different my life would be without her.

…

I don't think there is anything I wouldn't do for her if it would make her happy. I want to become hokage one day. When I become hokage, everyone will have to respect me and treat me like I'm somebody.

…

But that isn't the only reason why I want to become hokage.

…

The same would be for my sister when I take the hat. When I'm hokage, people will no longer ignore us. Not only will people treat me like I'm somebody but they will all see how wonderful my sister is.

…

I want to become hokage.

…

But

...

If Minako-chan asked me to, I would give it up.

...

I would give it up… for her…

I'm glad though that she believes in me and thinks that I can achieve that goal. With her believing in me, there is no way I can fail!

The only thing she wants is to be at my side as I climb my way to the top. I know she will watch my back as I watch hers.

To start that journey…

To become hokage…

Tomorrow we will be taking the first step, by becoming academy students.

…

Look out shinobi academy of Konohagakure! Uzumaki Naruto and Minako are headed your way, dattebayo!

Fun Fact: I actually had this typed up on 2 December after publishing chapter 5.

I figured this way I could easily update it without having to worrying about editing… and I'm procrastinating on that presentation I mentioned last time.

I should have the next chapter out by the first week of the New Year (if not sooner) I could have it by Christmas (it's pretty much done as of 2 December 2015 but that's the end of my backlogged chapters that only needed editing) Hopefully I will increase my tucked away chapters so I can update somewhat often.

Note: If you haven't already, please take my poll on my profile about Minako's skills. I would greatly appreciate it.

19 January 2016 Note: obviously I didn't post this when I said I would. I actually have been thinking about chapters for this story and came up with two chapters that I want to place before the chapter I originally wanted to post next. I'm kind of skimming through the years before we reach canon but I'm trying to develop the characters and their interactions linearly. If I don't do this now then we might end up having several chapters like some episodes of Naruto (and other anime) that are long, drawn out flashbacks taking up several episodes (in this case chapters) so I'm trying to get that done now.

My Main Excuse for this late update: I was catching up on reading fanfiction, playing Story of Seasons, and sleep after finals. The week of Christmas and New Years I had to work at my dad's office because his assistant went out of town to visit family during the holiday. After New Years I started my Sailor V costume, it's coming a long pretty well (I still have more adjustments to make for the mock costume though). Today is now my first day back to classes. You can thank my ADHD and slight boredom for finally posting this chapter since my SAS programming class is kinda review today (even though it's been 2 years since taking the SAS 1 class) Good luck everyone will school/work and thank you for reading.

Teams Note: I will eventually have a poll on team placement. I had hoped to have that poll out by the beginning of the year but I want to have some chapters out that show Minako's interactions with all the different characters we all know from Naruto before I ask you all to decide.

OC Note: I will also be working on some OC's that may/may not be seen on Minako's team (depending on if you want her to have her own OC team or if you want her to replace some other main character from the rookie 9 from the main teams) I figure by giving you all some idea of the OCs that you can make the decisions later. I plan on creating (possibly) 2-4 new OCs (2 civilians and/or 2 clan children)

PS: send me a PM or let me know in your review if you would prefer civilian or clan children (the clans would already be established i.e. Inuzuka, Nara, Yamanaka, Hyuuga, Aburame, Akimichi, Sarutobi, etc But Uchiha will not be included unless I get many requests for one.)

If you have a clan you really want to see an OC for then let me know. I may even take a try at a making an OC related to one of the other Naruto characters that aren't part of a well-known clan.

PS: I'm sorry this is short. It's more of an interlude to the start of more events in Minako/Naruto's POV.
