Shikamaru came inside the office and saw that Naruto was asleep.
"Troublesome Hokage." muttered Shikamaru with a small smile and started to wake him up by shaking him a little. Naruto awoke startled but then calmed down and looked at his side.
"Oh, Hi Shikamaru. What happened?" asked Naruto as he yawned.
"You fell asleep in your office last night and let me remind you that the Kages are going to arrive today." said Shikamaru.
"Oh Damn, I forgot about the whole meeting!" yelled Naruto.
"The arrangements have already been made and they will probably arrive in an hour or so. You should sign and read those stack of papers on your desk." said Shikamaru as he closed the door and went outside.
"Great, Now I have to finish yesterday's papers as well as today's." said Naruto aloud to himself.
"I should go and first apologize to Natsuko. I really sounded like a selfish brat but I can't bare to watch her sad." thought Naruto. Naruto was about to leave when he heard a knock.
"Come in." said Naruto. The door opened to reveal Konohamaru.
"Good Morning, Naruto Onii-chan." greeted Konohamaru.
"Hi Konohamaru. Is Natsuko okay?" asked Naruto with complete worry in his voice.
"She's fine, Onii-chan. She just went out to play and I thought that she needed to have some time alone. Suko said she'll be back soon." replied Konohamaru.
"I see... Has she eaten anything? It's snowing heavily outside. Did she wear her jacket and muffler? What if-"asked Naruto non-stop but was cut off by Konohamaru.
"Suko is fine. Natsuko ate before she left and was wearing enough clothes to protect her from the cold." said Konohamaru. Naruto sighed in relief. Killer Bee broke in the Hokage's office.
"Yo Naruto. How are you doing? Where is Hime-sama? WEE!" said Killer Bee loudly.
"It's nice to see you again, Naruto." said Gaara. The Kazekage entered with his sand gourd.
"I'm finally here!" said Kurotsuchi as she landed in the Hokage's office.
"It's always good to see all the Kages." commented Mei.
"Hi everyone, we'll begin our meeting shortly in the conference room." said Naruto. All nodded and headed towards the conference room.
"This is my mission report, Onii-chan."said Konohamaru. Naruto thanked him.
"There aren't any missions for you today, so go home and rest. I apologize that you and Hanabi had to look after Natsuko for the whole night." said Naruto. Konohamaru opened the door but before leaving, he turned around.
"You shouldn't apologize. Me and Hanabi would look after her anytime and we, no , everyone are here for you." said Konohamru before walking out the door. Naruto transported himself to the conference room where everyone were seated.
"Shall we start, Hokage?" said Gaara.
"Yes."said Naruto. All the Kages looked at each other and then faced the Hokage.
"What?"asked Naruto.
"Well, where is Suko-chan? She always attends the meetings and we have to give Suko-chan her birthday presents." said the Mizukage.
"She's busy."said the Hokage.
"Ya know, you're a bad liar." commented the Raikage.
"He's right. You should practice lying because you're really bad at it. Can you just tell us what happened?"said the Tsuchikage.
"I yelled at Suko on her birthday."whispered Naruto, ashamed to call himself a father.
"So that's what happened. I thought it was something big and disastrous like- YOU DID WHAT?!"yelled Kurotsuchi. Naruto told them the about the whole party while the rest of the Kages listened and restrained the Tsuchikage.
"And that's what happened."said Naruto.
"I believe you should apologize to Suko-chan."said Gaara.
"I was going to but Konohamaru told me that Suko should have some time alone to think through things."replied Naruto. After that the Kages discussed about the social, economical and various subjects.
"Good, the meeting was a success. We decided that we'd stay in Konoha for two to three days."said Kurotsuchi cheerfully.
"Sure. I'll tell someone to show you all to your rooms. Now if you all excuse me I have paperwork to do and then patch things with my daughter."said Naruto and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Today was a quiet, chilly November and a beautiful girl was walking along the streets of Konoha. Natsuko was now going to her special place; Naruto and his daughter always came to their special place. Somewhere on the outskirts of Konoha, there is a small house built by Naruto and that is the only place where the Anbus are not present. Natsuko reached the place, the grass was everywhere and flowers filled her sight and in the center was the house. Natsuko sat on a bench and watched the snow. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet except for the twittering of the birds. She was watching the tinted blue flakes hitting the ground and grass; melting instantly on the grass. The sky was painted with scratchy gray and black hues. Hundreds of unique little snow drops fell around her, catching in her midnight blue hair and on her dress. Suddenly, she remembered what happened last night on her birthday and tears started filling her eyes.
''Come on, Natsuko. You shouldn't act like this."said Natsuko to herself but couldn't keep the tears from falling.
Tears started to freely fall and some fell on her pendant and it started to glow and as a reflex, she quickly pulled the necklace from her neck and put it on the grass and stepped back. The light started to shine more rapidly and it momentarily blinded Natsuko. She rubbed her eyes and after a few seconds adjusted them to the light and peeked out between her fingers to see a figure.
