Aftermath

(A FemNaruHina Romance)

To headlem: A LeeSaku.. sure. As for Sasuke and Karin.. uh uh. Karin is SOOOO over Sasuke having felt the light (Naruto's chakra) on top of that if Sasuke ever gets his head screwed on correctly he may have a chance to love someone until then his love's name is Hatred. On another note Hinata in my mind will ALWAYS stutter. She may combat the bulk of it but I firmly believe it will slip out from time to time. It's what makes her so adorable, in full agreement with you there.

To Shadic1978: First when I read your statement I couldn't prevent the voice being George Takei's. Second that wasn't creepy in the slightest (sarcastic). Third, indeed.

To EveJ Hina: Mhm.

To every other reader of mine out there (all 20 of ya) thanks for boosting up my views by visiting over and over. :P Just kidding. I know there are more of y'all out there but I don't know you because YOU DON'T REVIEW/COMMENT. *Ahem* Please review/comment I love reviews and I love responding to reviews people put even if it's a one word review like "Cute." Also I haven't gotten a lot of constructive criticism which is surprising to me. I actually want some people so please if there's anything you see wrong or you think I could do better, speak up, I need to learn more this is my first time writing after all I know there's something I don't know about writing and someone has noticed so inform me!

To loveTheWriter: All my chapters tend to be around a thousand words. I'm going for consistency rather than a whole lot of fluff and nonsense to get more words in. It's a problem I had in high school English as well. :P

Regardless, ON WITH THE CUTENESS! *WARNING: Cuteness factor will make adorable puppies and kitties look like monsters* (I hope ;D)

Chapter 7

Konoha Hospital

Naruko yawns loudly, attempting to sit up and stretch she finds her arms restrained. Curious she tugs at the restraints only to find them tighten and suddenly is aware of something very warm and very much alive pressing into her back. Looking over her shoulder she find Hinata there hugging her tightly. Feeling blood rush to her cheeks making them grow warm Naruko slowly turns over to face Hinata and watch her sleep. The pale-skinned kunoichi is sleeping with her mouth slightly open and slightly smiling. She mutters incoherently as Naruko just stares at her smiling to herself. The blonde slowly brings up one arm to stroke Hinata's cheek.

Hinata starts to rub her head against the hand and slowly wakes up. Naruko watches her eyes drift open and seeing them recognize her she shows her signature grin before leaning in and kissing her softly. Hinata having blushed at being discovered finds her mind melting at the kiss as she tries and fails to organize her thoughts from the mush her brain has been reduced to.

Naruko chuckles slightly at the blissful expression on Hinata's face and goes back in for another kiss unable to resist the feeling of her soft lips.

Hinata having recovered from the first kiss finds herself being kissed once more. Resisting the call of bliss she returns the kiss to the surprise of Naruko. She allows her hands to roam over Naruko's back and turns her head to deepen the kiss.

A cough snaps the two back into the real world where they both look over at the door to see a very smug Sakura.

"You two might want to get out of that bed Lord Hiashi will be here any minute as well as Kakashi-sensei."

The two both blushing furiously, Hinata more-so, nod and get out of the bed. Hinata ducks behind the curtain to her actual bed just in time as Hiashi enters the room and seeing Naruko assumes the other bed is Hinata's, he enters the curtained off bed. Naruko losing her blush decides to hunt down Kakashi since he's likely taking his sweet time.

Pausing by Sakura she looks at her and says "Please don't embarrass Hinata by spreading around what happened. She's closed off enough as it is."

Sakura nods her agreement though her face still appears smug. Just wait til Ino hears this. 'Hell yeah!'

Naruko gives Sakura a deadly look. "I meant don't tell anyone about this.. Especially Ino she's such a gossip it'll be all over town within an hour."

Sakura's expression becomes a pout. "Well.. can I at least tell my boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend? Sakura I thought you were still in love with Sasuke."

"Nah.. he's lost all that from me. I'm talking about Lee."

"LEE?! HELL NO!"

"Wh-what? Why the hell not?!"

"Lee would just go all 'Flames of Youth' explode from Naruko's and Hinata's love or some shit. That's even worse than Ino!"

Sakura sighs but is in total agreement and just nods her acceptance of remaining quiet to Naruko.

Naruko, now satisified, heads off in search of her sensei, the number 2 laziest person in Konoha, Kakashi.

Konoha Memorial

Kakashi stares at the memorial stone remembering Obito, Rin and all the other friends he's lost. He replays the battle against the Ten-Tails when Obito finally seeing reason (thanks to Naruto) stabs Madara in the back while simultaneously beheading him. Knowing that wouldn't take long he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and transported what remained of Madara into his dimension. Knowing that the only way to trap him was to die and seal off his Sharingan (since Kakashi couldn't enter the dimension only send things into it and Madara's Sharingan used Susanoo rather than dimension control) he looked to Kakashi and smiled.

"I'm sorry for becoming worse than trash Kakashi-baka."

Doing some handsigns his Sharingan turned white and faded away leaving that eye blind. Before he could disspell the Ten-Tails however, the beast grabbed Obito and ripped him off of its head. Raising Obito to its eye it crushed him into nothing and roared its rage to the world before going on a rampage.

Naruko lands behind Kakashi jerking him out of his memories.

"Naruko.. what's up? I was just on my way to see you."

"I know Sakura-san told me. I figured I best find you rather than wait around all day for your lazy butt to show."

Kakashi gives his eye smile. She really has grown. I suppose its time.

"Well Naruko-chan I've got some news for you. It involves my position."

"Yeah you're acting Hokage right."

"Yep. It took some time but I finally convinced the elders to allow you to become Hokage. In recognition of what you did during the war."

"Wh-wha?"

"You're the Sixth Hokage now. So good luck and bye."

Kakashi suddenly vanishes in a poof of smoke and floating leaves. Naruko stands there dumbstruck then realizes something. Shit that bastard just left me a ton of paperwork didn't he?! I'll kick his ass for this!

Hokage's Office

Naruko walks in to find that the desk is indeed overflowing with paperwork and groans out loud only to be pushed aside by Shizune who is holding yet another stack of paper.

"Damn that lazy bastard. He's worse than Tsunade-sama! Naruko what are you doing here? Oh wait, Kakashi said something about you taking over Hokage. Well you better get to work these papers are backed up for days and they need to be signed TODAY."

Sighing Naruko makes her signature hand sign and says, slightly depressed, "Kage Bushin no Jutsu" Twenty Naruko's filled the office and all look at the paperwork groaning as one. The original speaks up.

"Ok guys.. Each of you grab a handful of papers, a pen and go into the hallway I'll summon more to help out."

"Hai.."

For the next hour Naruko repeats the process of summoning clones, instructing them and sending them out. The entire building is filled with sitting Narukos as well as the roof all doing paperwork. The original Naruko sits behind the Hokage desk exhausted from all the summons so soon after her crazy journey back from Suna just two days ago. I thought it was just Baa-chan's own laziness that let paperwork pile up. I never saw this much when the Third was Hokage. I guess I'll be dealing with this from now on. But.. Hokage.. Naruko grins and says out loud to herself. "I finally did it."
