Chapter 8
As the week passed by, Naruto couldn't stop thinking about the first night he had spent together with Ino. He felt so complete and was happy considering the circumstances. Ino had talked to him about that night and told him she was happy about that night to and wish they could have more like it. One week exactly had passed when they got a phone call from Jirayia's lawyer. He had told them to meet at his office so they could discuss his will and last wishes. They were about to walk out the door. Ino spoke up,
"Naruto, are you sure your ready to do this? This is a big day. I'm not even related to you or Jirayia and I don't know if I can do this."
Naruto looked somberly at his now confirmed girlfriend.
"Ino don't worry, this last week you've spent most of your time with me. You helped me get through all these troubles, so it's my turn to be there for you."
As he said this, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into a tight hug. He started to tear up when her heard the blonde speak up.
"Naruto, it's OK. I'll be right here for you if you need me. I'll do all I can do to make it through this with you!"
With that statement heard, Naruto walked out of the door with Ino and they made there way to Ino's house. Inoichi would be driving along with the couple. They were meeting Shizune and Tsunade. When Naruto went to the principals office to tell Tsunade about the situation, she yelled at him for pulling such a sick joke. She finally believed him after he told her about the notes and meeting Shizune. They arrive at Ino's house,only to see Shizunes car out front.
""I wonder what Shizune is doing here already She was just supposed to meets us at the lawyers office. Weel I guess we'll find out inside won't we Ino?"
Ino nodded as they made there way into the house. They were greeted by Inoichi and Shizune and later Tsunade when she came out of the bathroom. The ladies wearing black dresses and the males were wearing dark colored shirts and khaki pants. Shizune commented on Naruto's attire.
"You look very well dressed Naruto. I'm sure Jirayia would be proud to see you like this. If only it was under different circumstances..."
Naruto watched as Shizune started to tear up.
"It's alright Shizune, I know Jirayia wouldn't want us to be sad about this. He'd want us to move on and be happy again!"
Thats when Tsunade walked into the room. She was a rather "Large" woman in her chest area. She was the school's principal and apparently her and Jirayia had once been good friends, or at least good enough for her to be in the will at least. Naruto remembered how his perverted godfather had talked about how he had always had a crush on the busty blonde, but he had never had the courage to ask her out. Everyone was broken out of thought when they heard Inoichi speak up.
"Alright everybody, lets head to the lawyers office, we don't want to be late do we?"
Everybody nodded and agreed. Ino, Naruto, and Inoichi rode in one car and Shizune and Tsunade rode in Shizune's. Naruto was still trying to figure out the relation between Shizune and Tsunade. As they foundn there way to the lawyers office, everyone was deep in thought. Naruto and everybody were basically wondering the same thing as each other. What was in the will and last wishes? Inoichi, being older than Naruto and Ino already had an idea of what was going to who. As they arrived at the office building, the reality finally hit Naruto. They were here to discuss the belongings and wishes of his comatose state godfather.
"Ino, I don't think I can do this..."
Ino looked at her boyfriend and took his hand and tried to console him.
"It's ok Naruto, you've got all of your family here to help and support you. I'll be here with you no matter what. You can count on that!"
With those words Naruto rose up and took Ino into a much needed hug for the both of them. She could feel tears hit her shoulder and she rubbed his back and head.
"Thank you so much Ino. I don't know what I could do here without you. You truly are amazing."
Ino nodded her head and they made there way inside they were greeted by the lawyer who would be guiding them today.
"Hello, I'm Ibiki Morino. I was Jirayia's lawyer. I am very sorry to her about Jirayia, he was truly way to young. Shall we begin the meeting?"
As everybody nodded, they made there way into the lawyers office. It was a well kept office. There were several pieces of furniture and a water fountain with several cups in the corner, but water was the last thing on there minds at the moment. Ibiki sat everybody down and began to speak up.
"Alright everybody, Jirayia left a will on paper and it is quite lengthy. You all might want to take a seat. I will be reading this word for word so you will be hearing exactly what is written. I have already read over it to make sure it is safe and that everything is right. Let's begin."
Hello everybody, if you're reading this will that means I have either passed away or very close to it. I have some things I would like to give to the people very special to me and some things need to go some certain places. First off I want to start off by saying that I am really honored that you all are here to listen to my last will and testament. I have what I want to say to everybody listed below.
Inoichi Yamanaka, Thank you so much for being my friend in life. You and Dan were the best friends a man could ever ask for. I wish could've had more time to spend with each other. I've kept my promise of keeping all of us in the will, I hope you do to. Remember that old shoe box I always had on my shelf wherever I lived? It's in a storage unit about 15 miles from your house, you should know which one. I'm giving you that box because it has memento's of our childhood and I want you to keep them. The lawyer will give you the key. Live a long and happy life. I'll truly miss you.
Tsunade Senju, You were my great friend and my biggest crush in my childhood and I dearly regret not asking you out earlier in my life. You were always there for me and I tried my best to be there for you. I wish you the best of happiness in your life. I wish Dan could be here to make you happy. I want to give you a locket that Dan gave me when we were kids. I always thought of you when I had it and always thought you should have it. Much love and have a great life.
Shizune Senju, You were always like a daughter to me. I loved you like you were my own. I am so happy I got to see you grow up a little bit and become so successful. You did great with your life and I will always be proud of you no matter what anybody says. You are so much like you mother Tsunade and even more like your father Dan. I am glad to say I raised such a brilliant child. I want to give you my old house in town...
Once Shizune heard this part, she gasped a bit because that house was very valuable and she was more than surprised that it was given to her. What was he giving Naruto then? She was quietly worrying.
And everything inside of it. I hope you can find happiness in your adulthood and never have a frown on your face. I love you Shizune. Make me proud!
Naruto Uzumaki, Where do I start? Naruto I am so proud of you and how you turned out so much like your mother and father. They would be so proud to see there boy be so grown up. You have been a great person in your life and I am so proud to call you my grandson. We might not have spent a lot of time between us together but the times we did are the times that I will hold precious to me. I am glad that I can call you the son that I never had. You and Shizune are the children I never had and I expect you to watch out for each other. Naruto, I love you and I will always do so. Whenever you are down just remember that things always get better from the bottom. You will always have people there that will love you and support you. I wish I got to spend more time with you, I love you Naruto. Your probably wondering what I left you. As you know I was a considerably wealthy man with my book company, so I have a lot of money saved up in my bank account. I am giving you my fortune to say. You don't gain access to all of it until your 18th birthday, but you are allowed to use portions of it for necessities until then. I also left with my lawyer a couple of items owned by your parents that I wanted to give you. First off is your mother engraved sword. She was very skilled in Kenjustu and she had this sword since she was a child, it literally has loved engraved on the sides. From your father is a little smaller. It's his YingYang necklace that he treasured ever since he was a child. He always called it good luck and amd I thought you should have it. Your parents loved you so much Naruto, and they always will. Naruto I know you will do big things in this world so get ready. I trust you. I love you Naruto.
Everybody in the room was tearing up and Naruto would've been straight up crying if it wasn't for the lawyer speaking up yet again.
"There is one more thing on the letter."
I would also like this to be told to Ino Yamanaka. You make Naruto very happy and I can see that he loves you with all his heart. Please don't break the boys heart. Knock him on the head if you need to keep him straight. All I want is to see you two kids extremely happy. I know you were made for each other, I hope you have a very happy life with the Baka.
Now it was Ino who was crying as Naruto held her tightly. Naruto was on the verge of tears as well.
"Ino it's alright, he just wants me and you to be happy with each other."
The lawyer continued reading.
If by the chance I am in a coma when this is being read, I want you guys to pull me off life support please. I want to go peacefully and I know that's what people would want. I love all of you with all of my heart, Please be careful and safe. I love you.
Everybody in the room except Ibiki was crying now, not at Jirayia's words, but the fact that they had to take him off life support. They had to respect his wishes and Shizune spoke up.
"I'll go to the hospital and do it. I don't think anybody should have to go through with it. Especially you Naruto. I don't want you there."
Everyone nodded and thanked Ibiki for his help. They all left in there respective vehicles and made there way home. Inoichi got to Naruto's apartment and let him out, then Ino spoke up.
"Daddy, can I spend some time with Naruto? I don't want to leave him alone right now. Please!"
Inoichi nodded his head as he already knew she knew the rules about things like this. Ino got out and ran to Naruto and smiled for the first time that day. At least he day would end up happy.
"Come on Ino, lets get inside. You must be freezing, I'll make you something to eat to!"
Ino blushed as Naruto always took care of her and she loved it. Why he cared so much she would always wonder, but she didn't mind.
"So Naruto do you want to watch some TV or a movie? I'm kinda bored."
Naruto nodded and smiled.
"Sure Ino, whatever you want to do, I'll be fine with. Tonight is gonna be your night!"
Surprised at his new attitude all of the sudden, she decided to just go with it. She loved it either way. She decided to see how far she could go.
"Hey Naruto, if it's my day then could you give me a foot massage? I'd really love it!"
Naruto looked at Ino and smiled immensely.
"Sure Ino, I'll do anything you want me to. I just want you to be happy. As long as your happy then I'm happy."
Ino blushed and then pulled Naruto into a deep kiss. The kiss went on for about 2 minutes until they ran out of breath. They were panting and they both liked it. They again had the burning sensation in there stomachs. They both truly loved each other and they knew it. But they would wait to say it and make sure. The rest of that day just consisted of the two making you a lot and cuddling with each other just embracing each other. Thats when Naruto got a call he had been waiting for. It was Shizune.
"Naruto, I was just calling to tell you that it's over. We pulled him off life support and he was gone in 7 minutes. I'm sorry Naruto. I call back later to check up on you."
Naruto said bye and hung up the phone and went to sit next to his girlfriend again. Ino could see he was sadder and had guessed what happened.
"It's alright Naruto, he's in a way better place now. He would want you to be happy and live on. Do what he wants."
Naruto looked up at his blonde girlfriends eyes and noticed a small tear and hugged her. They stayed in the hugging position for quite a whule and before they knew it, it was 5:00 o' clock. Ino was about to call her father to pick her up when Naruto spoke up.
"Ino can I ask you a question. Will you please move in with me?"
Ino was taken by shock at the question.
"Move in with you?"
Naruto nodded.
"yeah, I just don't want to be alone anymore and I want to be with you."
Ino giggled slightly and replied.
"Naruto I would love to but you know my father would never let me do that. You know that."
Naruto looked at her with his signature grin.
"Well how about you just spend the night here then again. I really don't want you to leave me. Please Ino."
Ino looked sadly at the blond. She decided she would stay the night with Naruto but they did skip school today and tomorrow is a friday so her father probably wouldn't mind.
"Alright Naruto, let me tell my father that i'm staying here tonight...Again!"
Naruto ran up and hugged her and wouldn't stop talking.
"Thank you so much Ino, you have no idea how much this means to me. You truly are the best thing to happen in my life!"
Ino calmed her boyfriend down and called her father and informed him that she was staying with Naruto. He was surprisingly ok with it and said be safe. She guess he really did trust her enough to be with the Baka for an extended amount of time.
"So Naruto what are we gonna do about dinner? I was thinking we could order pizza, is that alright?"
Naruto nodded and told her to choose what they got and from who. She ended up calling Papa Johns and ordering chicken and tomato pizza with stuffed crust. She was about to pay the delivery man but Naruto butted in and payed him.
"A pretty lady shouldn't have to pay for her meal now should she."
He winked at her earning a blush and a giggle. It got him a kiss to when he closed the door, and he thought about how he should do that more often. They continued and ate which led to a miniature food fight which led to Naruto and Ino both having to shower because they were covered with pizza and sauce. Naruto was a gentleman and let his blond girlfriend go first.
"Ladies first Madam."
Ino giggled and gave him another kiss.
"I think I might be really falling for you Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto looked at her and smiled.
"And I think I might be falling for you too Ms. Ino Yamanaka. But of course who would be to stupid not to! Your amazing and beautiful and the sweetest person I ever have and will ever know."
Ino leaned in one more time and gave him a deep kiss, and they felt something they haven't really felt before, fiery passion. It felt like fireworks going off in there mouths as there tongues fought for dominance and they broke apart and still hugged each other not wanting to leave each others embrace. They didn't notice they were getting themselves dirtier by being together but neither of them minded. Naruto broke the silence.
"Well Ino, while you take a shower I'm going to check over what Jirayia left me. Have a nice shower."
Ino nodded to him and they went opposite ways. Naruto called the bank in which his godfathers accounts where located.
"Hello, welcome to Konoha International bank. How may we help you today sir?"
Naruto cleared a lump in his throat.
"Yes I would like to check the assets in account #43624531. It was given to me in my godfathers will and I have all of the information for it."
As the call progressed, Naruto handled all the information to the nice lady and after a good 15 minutes there were all ready to tell him everything he had wanted to know.
"I would like to know how long the account has been active and how much the account itself holds please."
There was a silence and the helpful lady spoke up.
"Alright sir, it looks like this account has been active for over 25 years, and in total there are exactly $1,586,986.52in this account. Any thing else you would like to know sir?"
Naruto was in shock but answered quickly and hung up. Jirayia had a little more than a million and a half in his bank?! Naruto had never known his book company had been so successful. He had to give the man credit. He was a genius. He turned around to see Ino with a towel around her head.
"Whats wrong Naruto? Did something happen?"
Naruto didn't know how to tell her about the money.
"Uh yeah, I just checked Jirayia's bank account and he has over 1.5 million dollars in it.. That old perv was loaded!"
Ino looked at him in shocked.
"What are you going to do with the money when you turn 18 Naruto?"
Naruto looked at the ground and nodded.
"I guess I'm going to take out enough to get started and living well and I'll start saving up in it again after a while. I'm not gonna waste his legacy."
Naruto was interrupted by the phone ringing again. He picked it u and it was Shizune again.
"Hey Shizune, is something wrong?"
There was a brief pause and then a answer.
"No there isn't anything wrong. I just wanted to inform you that the funeral has been planned for next week on Thursday. It's at 11:00 am, I'll pick you up so don't worry about transportation and location. I'm sorry Naruto."
Naruto stood still and began to speak again.
"It's alright Shizune. I can get through this with everybody, especially all of my family."
With that being said he looked at Ino and both of them smiled and Naruto turned back to the phone.
"Besides, Jirayia wouldn't want us to be sad. He'd want us to be happy with each other, and I think I'm gonna make him proud of me!"
Naruto and Shizune said there goodbyes and Naruto went to take his shower and he took a relatively quick one. By the time they were all clean and dressed for bed, it was 8:45. They decided to sleep a little earlier than they usually do. As they cuddled together, they both embraced there love for each other and never let go. They were both truly happy in spite of all that had happened that day. They both woke up the next morning at 6:30 and were both refreshed and ready to get up. Ino had been irritated because her pillow (Naruto's Chest) moved out from under her and she pouted.
"Maybe I wasn't done sleeping you Baka!"
Naruto leaned in and kissed her and smiled.
"Yeah but we have to go to school today, I don't want you to get into trouble."
Ino was always happy that her boyfriend cared so much about her and she loved it.
"Naruto I love how you put me before yourself. Your are truly a gentlemen."
At that Naruto blushed and pecked Ino on the cheek and then left to let her get changed. They both walked out of the door at 6:55 and made there way towards the school. They were passed by a school bus on the way there and were waved at by their respective best friends. As they walked into school and made it to their 1st block, Ino had been pulled away from Naruto by Sakura.
"So Ino, how is your relationship with Naruto going right now? You two seem really close and it's so cute to see you two blondes together!"
Ino blushed and hugged her pink haired friend.
"Thank you Sakura so much for accepting me and Naruto together. You have no idea how much it means to me! Thank you so much!"
As Sakura was talking to Ino, Kiba had pulled Naruto away as well.
"So Naruto, how are you two idiotic blondes doing?"
Naruto whacked Kiba right on the head.
"SHUTUP YOU DOG BRAINED IDIOT! We're doing fine I hope you know. I'm the happiest I've been in a while."
Kiba spoke up again but this time it sounded sympathetically.
"Oh and Uh Naruto, I'm sorry about your godfather Jirayia. If there is anything I can do then don't be afraid to ask me man, alright?"
Naruto looked at his best friend and the bumped fists, Naruto knew he had the best friends and family one could ever want to have. He was a total peach and happiness right now. As the day passed by, they found themselves at lunch together just sitting with each other. Ino was in Naruto's lap and Naruto was stroking her hair. Ino spoke up.
"Naruto, when we get home we need to work on our Exit Project a little bit, at least come up with a title or a subject to go over. It shouldn't be that hard."
Realizing what she had said he nodded slowly and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She wondered how he was always so sweet and kind. But she guessed some things were always just best left unanswered...for now at least.
