Konohamaru and the konoha ninja chronicles

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters, only Masashi Kishimoto does.

I have added characters from other cartoon animes here as well such as avatar, inuyasha, yuyu hakusho, tenchi muyo, dragon ball z and from tenchu: stealth assassin's series from the video games; only the names and somewhat the characteristics but also completely different people. I am giving credit where it is due. Also there are romance pairings. Main: konohamaru x hanabi, naruto x hinata, chouji x isaribi, udon x moegi, neji x tenten etc.

This story takes place during the shippuden timeline, konohamaru is 12, naruto 16, hanabi is 11 and everyone their respective ages as they appear it also closely follows the manga and anime timeline and events. I also took some names from other fanfics because I like the characters. Giving credit where it is due.

Chapter Nine: Finally

Scene: At Hyuga Compound:

The next day, Hanabi woke up bright and early for her training; she first mediated and tried to clear her mind of yesterday's events. Her day with konohamaru and the time they spent together. Specifically the make out session, she had with him yesterday. She began her training after getting something to eat and bathing. She saw Hikari and Neji sparing in one of the outside training areas in the hyuga compound. She decided to find hinata and train with her instead of bugging hikari and neji interrupting their training.

Hinata was outside practicing her jyuken stance going through the movements and strikes of the formidable hyuga style. She stopped when she saw hanabi coming toward her. Hey, hanabi said hinata smiling gently. Hey, hinata said hanabi calmly but somewhat disturbed. Are you ok, hanabi asked hinata concerned? I'm fine, said hanabi calmly.

Are you sure, asked hinata; you look like you didn't get enough sleep yesterday. I'm fine, hanabi snapped suddenly. Hinata gasped. I'm sorry, sister, she said to hinata. There are some things on my mind that's all. It's ok, hanabi said hinata calmly, you can talk to me about it if you want to, my bedroom door is always open and I will always lend an ear if you need to talk. I'm quite sure that going to neji, hikari or father about some things can be uncomfortable. You got that right mumbled hanabi.

I definitely don't want to go to father about what's bothering me now. I'll talk to you, but just not now, said hanabi. Ok, when you are ready, hinata replied. Can we train for a bit, asked hanabi? Sure said hinata smiling. They both got into the hyuga stance; hinata started forming hand seals and stopped, Byakugan! She yelled as the veins around her eyes bulged and her eyes got cracks around the pupil. Hanabi formed hand seals as well, Byakugan! She yelled out as well and the veins around her eyes bulged out as well and cracks formed on the inside of her eyes.

They both sparred for a good while trading blows, looking for a weakness in each other's technique and form, trying to strike each other's chakra points by thrusting their palms at each other and trading kicks which can also stop an opponent's chakra network if a chakra point is struck with a précised kick. They stopped fighting and started panting because they were both heavily tired after sparring for a couple of hours.

They both bathed and had cleaned up and put back on their regular ninja outfits and went back outside to the training ground they were previously training in. Hanabi, hinata suddenly said after drying off her face with a towel. Huh? Said hanabi. What is it sis, she said with a towel around her neck. Neji has been teaching you the lightning palm technique, he invented didn't he. Yes, replied hanabi, He taught hikari too. He also has been working with me on another technique, called the lightning palm current technique. I haven't fully mastered it yet but I'm close, said hanabi.

Hm, said hinata. Why do you ask, asked hanabi. I want to show you something, a technique that I developed on my own, said hinata. Just like the Uchiha clan is a clan of fire jutsu users and invented their own fire techniques, the hyuga clan is clan of lightning jutsu users and we create our own lightning techniques, hinata also said.

Hanabi smiled at her sister and thought about how much hinata had changed. She was still somewhat shy and quiet and timid but she was much braver, tougher and more outspoken than she was before. She was also more sure of herself and more confident, even seldom arrogant at times. Hinata had become a very powerful chunin and clearly the top chunin kunoichi in konoha next to sakura and could even beat some jonin but her potential as a shinobi and chakra levels were capable of becoming much more powerful than she is now and has the potential to become S- Class if she wanted, she had grown a lot in becoming a ninja but still could improve much more.

She only got shy and timid around her long time crush naruto, which hanabi along with hikari, the entire hyuga clan and all of the konoha eleven and konoha fifteen knew about. Even the hokage, master jiraiya and most of the jonin knew including the jonin senseis. The only one who was oblivious to hinata's feelings for naruto was naruto himself. Hanabi mentally chuckled in her mind about how dense, fox face or naruto could be at times and how smart he could be at other times.

Hanabi had long since abandoned the thought of seeing hinata as the weak hyuga heir, who is her sister and she knew that, hinata was now stronger than her and that she was well on her way of becoming and taking the position as the first hyuga heir and in becoming leader. The hyuga council was already nominating her as being the next leader. It, at first made hanabi jealous with rage and anger but she had begun to understand hinata and become extremely close to her sister now and that she had come to terms with hinata being stronger and she losing the position as being first heir and the favor going back to hinata, again.

In truth, she wanted it that way because that was the way it should be and she only dreaded the day she might have to receive the hyuga curse mark seal and be put in the family's branch house. The clan had become more peaceful over the years and the main and branch families are closer together now and have joined together in peace, thanks to Naruto Uzumaki and what he said in the chunin exams to neji. Even some of the main house's techniques are being taught to branch members and the branch member's techniques to the main house. If for some reason, hinata could not fulfill her role as clan leader when the time came; then she would be next in line for the title and in succession would be neji after her than Hikari, since, both neji and hikari have a closer blood relation to the clan's main house and leader of the clan. However, hanabi sometimes, doubted if hinata still wanted to be first heir and be leader to the clan. It seemed like hinata struggled internally on that, and hanabi would talk to her about it but know she could do nothing for her sister, even though she wanted too. She would support, hinata in whatever choice, she would decide to make when the time came.

Yes, of course said hanabi, show me sister. Hinata took the hyuga defensive stance and concentrated, her palms glowed as she pushed chakra into them and then it started to radiate with electricity and lightning. The electricity around her palms crackled. She let he fingers down said for the index finger and the middle finger on both her hands. She moved her arms in a circular motion as the electricity began to build up and around her fingers as she created the electricity and began to guide it( movements like in Avatar, where fire benders bend lightning) and shot the bolt of lightning from her fingers into the sky.

Wow, hinata that was great! Said hanabi amazed. So you mastered the lightning palm current technique. Yup, said hinata, neji taught me, he was the one who invented it after all. I want to show you my technique now, she said I will demonstrate. First, said hinata, you will have to use the lightning palm current technique on me. What? Said hanabi frantically, I can't do that, I haven't mastered it yet, I will hurt you and besides that technique takes a lot of chakra control and precision, it's like being on the edge of life and death, one false move and you could fry yourself with lightning.

I know said hinata calmly, just trust me, I won't get hurt, I promise. O, Ok said hanabi still concerned, here it goes. Hanabi's palms glowed and electricity crackled as she pushed chakra and lighting chakra into her palms. She gathered the lightning in her fingertips and did the movements for the jutsu the lightning ran through her body. Hinata took a deep breath and got into a defensive stance. Hanabi then lost control in her chakra and lost her balance slightly and shot the lightning towards hinata's face. HINATA, LOOK OUT! Shouted hanabi.

Hinata stood still stationary and unmoving, waiting for the lightning to hit her, she put her fingertips in front of her and her finger tips glowed with lightning chakra. The lightning connected with her finger tips, she guided the lightning after taking control of it and shot it out her other finger tips of her other hand into the sky.

Oh my god!, hanabi shouted running towards hinata to see if her sister got hurt, I'm sorry, she apologized to hinata, bowing to her frantically and continuously apologizing. It was an accident; I didn't mean to do it, said hanabi. It's ok, said hinata to hanabi trying to calm down her frantic sister. Its ok, hanabi, I'm not hurt. You could have been, if it wasn't for my recklessness, said hanabi, it won't happen again I assure you. Father will kill me for this, if he finds out, said hanabi sadly.

No, he won't said hinata. Huh? Said hanabi. He won't if we don't tell him about what happened here. What father doesn't know won't hurt him, right, said hinata smiling to hanabi. What? You won't tell him, you would do that for me, despite what happened here. Yup, said hinata that what sisters are for, to have your back and I know you would do the same for me. Yeah, I would said hanabi smiling softly.

That jutsu was so cool, said hanabi changing the subject excitedly, where did you learn that sis.

You've got to teach me that. I will said hinata that was the whole point in showing it to you. I created it after observing, studying and training with the lighting palm current technique. This jutsu is what I like to call the Lightning current redirect technique. As you can see the motions are fluid and flexible. In order to do it you have to have perfect chakra control and be able to guide the lightning to wherever you want it to go.

It's hard to do this jutsu if you haven't mastered the lightning palm current technique. With this jutsu you can redirect or turn back any of your opponents lightning based techniques if it's used correctly. It takes a while to master and it's better to train with someone who uses lightning based attacks to fully master it. The only time this technique becomes difficult to use is at close range combat with an opponent using lightning attacks because it becomes more difficult to repel attacks that are close to you.

Ah, said hanabi. Here I will go through the motions with you. Hanabi and hinata continued to train using the lighting palm current and lighting current redirect techniques for a while before calling it a day and resuming tomorrow. Hinata went off to meet with sakura and the others and hanabi went to go see moegi.

Scene Change: At Sarutobi Estate:

Konohamaru woke up and bathed and gotten dressed. He started with meditation near one of the training area of the sarutobi estate. In the background daichi and kotetsu and shigeru were sparring. Konohamaru tried to clear his mind of his thoughts. Thoughts about hanabi and his time with her yesterday. Specifically, the passionate make out session he had with her yesterday. He stopped meditating and decided to train with his cousins. Right, said kotetsu, I'll be heading off, I've got to report to the hokage, she has some things for me to do. He then waved at shigeru and daichi and vanished to go to the hokage's office.

Hey guys, said konohamaru, you guys want to train. Sure said shigeru and daichi. Good, said konohamaru, you two against me. What? Shigeru and daichi said shocked. Are you sure, konohamaru said shigeru, this will be really hard for you. Yeah, joined in daichi grinning, you'll get slaughtered by us, whether you are stronger than us or not. Together, you don't stand a chance against us. We will see about that, said konohamaru grinning.

Fine, said daichi getting into fighting stance, let's do it. We won't go easy on you said shigeru getting into fighting stance. I don't expect or want you too, said konohamaru getting into fighting stance. I need a workout specially now to work, off what's going on with me and hanabi. Let's, do it said konohamaru. All three of them vanished and daichi and shigeru attacked with punches and kicks at konohamaru. He countered and attacked back with his own punches and kicks. They were all blurs in movement while they were sparring. They trained for a couple more hours, until konohamaru was too exhausted to continue. Daichi and shigeru were also tired but not in bad a shape as konohamaru.

Wow for a two against one fight, you gave us a run for our money, konohamaru said daichi. Yeah you put up quite a fight, said shigeru grinning. They all got cleaned up and put their ninja outfits back on. Than daichi spoke up suddenly, hey, konohamaru what made you spar and train so much harder than you usually do, is something on your mind, asked daichi. No, konohamaru said quickly, I'm fine, he lied. Shigeru, eyebrow raised to show he was not buying it.

Ok said daichi and left to go see tenji and his teammates. So, what's up said shigeru, I know it's not nothing, want to talk about it he asked. Maybe later, he said. Ok, said shigeru, whenever you feel like talking just come get me, he said to konohamaru. Ok, said konohamaru, I promise and he walked out. Where are you going, asked shigeru. To get a little fresh air, replied konohamaru and he walked out leaving the sarutobi estate to do some thinking, he then decided to head towards the saito estate and see inari.

Scene Change: Utatane Estate:

Hanabi walked to the Utatane estate to see moegi. She knocked on the door of the Utatane mansion. Hello, lady hanabi, replied a servant, whom bowed, are you looking for moegi-san. Yes, replied hanabi, is she here, hanabi asked.

Yes, she is replied the servant. I will get her for you, she than bowed and went to get moegi. Oh, and one more thing, said hanabi to the servant, you don't have to be so formal with me, it's just hanabi and you don't have to bow.

Ok, said the servant with a smile and went to go get moegi. Moments later, moegi came walking up to the front door. Hey, hanabi she said smiling at her and they have each other high five. (A girl high five or something similar)

Hey, moegi, she said back. What's up said moegi? I was wondering if we could talk, said hanabi, actually I was thinking we could call all the girls together for a chat, she said. Moegi gasped. If you are calling all the girls together than, something must of happened with you, and you need us to help you through it or need advice, it must be serious than, said moegi.

Yes, it is said hanabi seriously. Alright, round up everyone, said moegi, even kaede if you want me too. No, not kaede, I'll talk to her separately first. Why not, asked moegi, she is our friend after all. Your right, said hanabi, kaede too. Ok, said moegi, I'll meet you at the tea shop in 30 minutes with everyone. Ok, said hanabi and than hanabi left. Moegi then ran at top speed around konoha to each of their friend's homes and got everyone together.

Scene Change: Tea shop in konoha:

Hanabi sat drinking her tea and waiting nervously and anxiously for moegi and her friends to show up and than a group of girls walked in talking and laughing. It's about time, said hanabi a bit impatient and irritated.

Sorry, hanabi they said a little shocked by what she said. Sorry, apologized hanabi, I'm just a bit off today. No, kidding, girl said karai, you are way off, she said jokingly. Hanabi gave a small smile. All the girls crowded around hanabi and sat down to talk.

So what's up said matsuri, if you called us all here than it must be something important? Yeah, said hibari, what's up hanabi. Moegi told us that you were a bit off and told us that you wanted to meet with all of us and talk, we are a bit concerned, added kaede.

Well, said hanabi, I don't know where to begin or how it happened. It happened to me so fast. Well was it an incident, said karai. Yes, replied hanabi nervously. Of what kind asked matsuri. Was it a romantic incident, asked hibari.

Uh, said hanabi blushing a deep red as her cheeks flushed as she recalled the memories of the day before. Ha! I knew it said moegi, I just knew it. Why else would you call us all together so suddenly unplanned to hang out? So, said matsuri, who was the romantic thing with, who was it?

Well said hanabi nervously and put her fingers together like hinata. Was it inari, asked matsuri? No, said hanabi shocked and a bit mad. Have you forgotten that he and kaede here are dating now, said hanabi? Oh, sorry about that, said matsuri to kaede and hanabi. It's ok, they both said back to her.

Was it Udon, asked karai? No way, said hanabi quickly. What about tenji, said kaede. No, said hanabi shaking her head again and it's definitely not futaba either. What about Nobori, said kaede. Hanabi again shook her head.

Shibuya, said karai?

What? No way! Shouted hanabi. First off he is hardly seen and I haven't seen him in a while and second he is cool and all but not my type.

Well everyone else has a girlfriend than, ranmaru is in the river country, akio is forest country and tanishi is in genjutsu tree village so we know it's not them and they hasn't been back in konoha recently or in the past couple of months, said matsuri. The ones that don't have a girlfriend we already named such as Udon, Tenji, Nobori, Shibuya, and futaba, said moegi.

Wait a minute, was it shigeru. Said moegi once more. No, way he is my team mate, said hanabi shocked. So, shrugged moegi, inari was your teammate too, but you two use to date. Yeah, you do have point, said hanabi thinking.

Well with process of elimination, we know who it isn't and everyone else is already taken and off the market, they include Inari, daichi, kouji, and hikari. That's everyone said karai.

Hanabi was hoping that they wouldn't guess who it was or didn't say his name. She went over this in her mind a thousand times over.

Wait a minute, said kaede, speaking up and interrupted hanabi's train of thought; we are forgetting someone else, someone important. What about konohamaru, she asked. Everyone turned to hanabi and looked at her. Hanabi blushed beet red and was about to faint, something she never did before. She put her fingers together like hinata and became very quiet, which was not like her.

Oh my God! Said moegi, kaede and everyone else. It was konohamaru! You did something with konohamaru they all gasped in shock. Hanabi nodded her head to say yes, as she continued to blush from embarrassment.

Well said matsuri don't keep us waiting in suspense, tell us what happened. Don't leave out any details and give us all the juicy parts, added karai grinning.

Well, ok stuttered hanabi. It happened yesterday. We hung out all day and spent time together and we had been doing that lately for the past two weeks, now. Yeah, said moegi I noticed that you, two were spending a lot of time together. Everyone else nodded in agreement. What happened yesterday, said hibari.

We went to his cousin Iroh's tea shop. Aw man, said karai I love the tea there; it's just to die for! She blurted out. Everyone stared at her sending her angry glares for interrupting hanabi. Oh, sorry, she said nervously and put her hand behind her head like kouji and konohamaru and chuckled nervously.

Anyway, said hanabi we met with his cousin iroh and we all talked for hours and his cousin left us to get supplies for his tea shop before closing, he asked me and konohamaru to watch the shop and we did.

What happened next, said moegi and everyone at the edge of their seat. Well he showed me how to make jasmine tea and one thing led to another and we kissed. What! They all said. Was it a short one or a long one, said karai excitedly. A long one, said hanabi, more like a make out session. WHAT! They all said and giggled.

Wow, I knew something would happen between the two of you, eventually said hibari but not like this. Well did you like it, asked matsuri? Yes, said hanabi, in fact I loved it and I couldn't stop myself either, I don't think he could either, she said softly.

But now that it has happened, I'm confused and I don't know what to do or what to make of it. This changes our friendship and I don't even understand my feelings for him, said hanabi frustrated.

It will work out, said kaede soothingly to her, you just have to take your time and sort things out. You need to find out how he feels, said moegi. Don't rush in either said, matsuri; these things take time to develop.

It's best to keep talking about it and to mediate on it, said karai. Also, you need to give him time to sort out his feelings too said hibari mostly how or what he feels about you. Hmm, thanks, guys, said hanabi, you are the best, she said smiling.

What are friends for, said moegi but don't take our word for it talk to someone else like hinata or tenten about it and see what they say, another person's advice or input is always good especially if they have had experience with it, themselves.

Ok, I'll do just that, I'll catch up with you guys later said hanabi getting up and jogging off to find her sister and tenten. The girls sat at the tea shop and continued to talk.

Meanwhile: Scene Change: Yuki Estate

Hey, Inari, said konohamaru as he knocked on the door. I'm coming, he shouted from behind the door in the Saito mansion. Inari opened the door, hey, what's up, konohamaru, he said smiling. I need to talk with you and the guys, can you round of everyone, he said seriously but not hikari.

Uh, said Inari quizzically, and gasped. Something happened to you didn't it, ok he said I round up everyone, this must be important. It is said konohamaru, seriously. Why not, hikari asked Inari. Because he will be all sarcastic, and poke fun at me and I don't feel like dealing with that right now, said konohamaru flatly.

Ok, said Inari shrugging, works for me. I'll see you in a few at Ichiraku's with everyone. Ok, said konohamaru as he walked off to Ichiraku's and Inari ran at high speed to round of all the guys except hikari.

Scene Change: Ichiraku's:

Konohamaru sat at Ichiraku and ate his ramen and juice. He was nervously and anxiously waited for inari and his other friends to arrive. In the distance a group of boys came walking over talking and laughing. Well, said konohamaru, your late, he said seriously. I understood if you guys had important things to do, but in coming here you could have walked or moved a little faster, he said irritably.

Man, what's stuck up your butt, today, said tenji. GRRRRRR, konohamaru growled at tenji and shot him a (if you say another word I will promise you pain) death glare. Whoa, take it easy, konohamaru, said tenji nervously I was only joking.

Konohamaru continued to glare daggers at tenji, making tenji extremely nervous until Udon broke the silence. So what did you call us here for, it must be serious and important if you did this so suddenly and unexpectedly without letting us know, we were going to hang out today, said Udon.

Udon, knew how to play peacemaker and crowd or damage control with people, and with his friends, he had a lot of experience.

He also knew his teammate and best friend, konohamaru well and he knew that something was bugging him and when he gets seriously irritable to back off and let him have his space for if anyone did get in his way and irritated him would be in a world of pain. Even inari, kouji, daichi, nobori, shibuya, hikari and the others knew better than to mess with konohamaru when he was like this.

Well, said konohamaru as he turned his attention to Udon and stopped glaring daggers at tenji to answer, I called you guys here to talk, I've got a serious problem and I need you guys advice.

Tenji sighed in relief and sat a seat that was away from konohamaru at the time being, he didn't want to be on the receiving end of konohamaru's wrath, when he got angry or irritable the way he just was.

So, you need our help said Inari speaking up. Yeah, said konohamaru. Of course we will help you out, buddy, you are our friend, right, said kouji. Ditto, said Tenji and apologized to konohamaru, which konohamaru accepted and made peace with. Everyone sat close to konohamaru to hear what he had to say.

So, what's up said shigeru, what's going on, I sense it earlier today, are you finally ready to talk. Yeah said konohamaru. I had a situation yesterday, a problem if you will, he said. What kind of problem, said Inari. Well, said konohamaru, nervously, it's not easy for me to talk about.

Come on, konohamaru, it's us said Daichi; you know you can talk to us. Yeah said tenji.

So, is it a girl problem, said Udon. Did you get into an argument with someone, again, said inari?

Is it something, romantic, said Kouji? Uh, everyone said in shock, and looked at kouji. No one knew something like that would ever come out the mouth of kouji mitarashi. They thought clearly that he was not the kind of person to know or talk about stuff like this. What? Said kouji, I have my moments, he shrugged and I am a lot more perceptive than you guys give me credit for.

Perceptive? Said Daichi can you spell that word or even know what it means he grinned. THAT'S IT, DAICHI YOUR DEAD! Bring it on, Casanova, daichi smirked.

QUIET, BOTH OF YOU! Konohamaru, roared. B, But, they both stuttered out in protest. I SAID QUIET! He barked again and shot them death glares. They instantly got quiet not wanting to provoke or test konohamaru further. Man, I swear, said Udon can't you guys, do anything or go anywhere without fighting.

I can answer that for you, said tenji, nope, it's nearly impossible for them. I agree, wholeheartedly on that, said Inari. I second that, said Shigeru glaring at them angrily.

Well they better get along for their sakes, if THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM AND DON'T WANT TO BE BEATEN INTO A BLODDY PULP!, yelled konohamaru, Now is not the time!, he yelled again at them.

Try to calm down, konohamaru, said inari and Udon, reassuringly. Let's get back to the topic at hand, said Udon. Yeah, said konohamaru mumbled still fuming a bit over kouji and daichi. Kouji and daichi looked over at konohamaru nervously.

Anyway, said Nobori whatever is bugging you must be serious or else you wouldn't have called us here and you wouldn't be so stressed. So, who was it? Who did you do something romantic with?

Was it kaede, asked tenji? Absolutely not, said konohamaru, she is dating inari here. Inari waved at tenji to confirm it for him. Oh, sorry said tenji fast, I didn't know. It's ok, said inari and konohamaru.

Was it moegi, asked shigeru, no, said konohamaru. Helloooo, she is my girlfriend said kouji a bit irritated. So what's your point, shigeru shrugged? What? Said kouji. Come on, kouji it was just a guess, don't get so bent out of shape, I said that because they are close friends and we don't know what it the problem is yet, said shigeru.

Oh, Ok, said kouji calming down. Well said Udon we can do the process of elimination, It's not kaede because she is dating inari, it's not hibari because she is dating daichi, it's not karai because she is dating hikari, it's not moegi because she dating kouji and not matsuri because she is dating tenji as of today and definitely not mia she is a slut, so that is everyone not unless it is some other kunoichi in konoha from our graduating class.

Konohamaru, hoped that they didn't guess who it was even though he knew the inevitable was about to happen and he didn't even want to hear her name, but knew he was going to hear it anyway and mentally prepared himself for it.

Hey, said Inari we are forgetting about someone, someone extremely important, my teammate, we are forgetting about hanabi.

Everyone looked at konohamaru. Konohamaru looked down and put his fingers together nervously like hinata and blushed beet red and looked like he was about to pass out.

What? They all said in unison. Oh my God! They all said, Hanabi! They said again You did something with hanabi! They said in unison. Yes, said konohamaru nervously and shyly. Hanabi as in hanabi hyuga, said tenji. Yeah, said konohamaru, embarrassed that all the attention was on him. Whoa, dude!, said Nobori, hanabi hyuga, that's quite a catch!

Oh wow said kouji this is freaking sweet! Hey, did you do something extreme or wild like make out with her, yeah, said daichi. Daichi! Said shigeru glaring at his brother, hold your tongue. Man, said shigeru your such a perv, sometimes in a bad way, said shigeru.

Hey, I'm not a perv, yeah and there is no other way to be one, yeah said daichi angrily. Yes, there is smirked kouji and I guess you are the only one who knows about it, right daichi said kouji laughing,

ha, ha, ha. KOUJI, IM GONNA KILL YOU! Said daichi.

Ha, ha , ha sick perv, kouji taunted and teased daichi payback is so sweet, said kouji. YOUR GONNA GET IT, KOUJI! Bring it, pervy, boy said kouji.

CUT IT OUT, BOTH OF YOU, NOW! Said inari to both of them or else I turn you both into frozen popsicles!, said Inari as his ice chakra was felt by everyone close and the air got cold around them. He glared daggers at kouji and daichi.

Daichi and kouji got nervous, it was rare for inari to get that mad and they quieted down, not wanting to test them further, for they knew he could and would do it and would carry out his threat.

Inari's eyes started to turn to ice revealing his ice eyes (Hyougan) ( Hyouton, kekkei genkai's or bloodline limit's full power when chakra is pumped into the eyes and is seen all over the body visible)

Calm down inari said shigeru, they aren't worth it, besides they are our friends, shigeru reminded him. Inari calmed down, his eyes turned back black again and the his ice chakra faded along with the cold air it brought around them which had everyone shivering and apologized to them and kouji and daichi apologized back. Well said Udon to konohamaru, who was sweat dropping on what was going on in front of him.

Yeah, konhamaru admitted we actually did make out. Whoa, dude, said tenji way past cool. How did it happen said Udon, well we hung out yesterday and spent the day together and we have been hanging out the past two weeks. Yeah, we sort of noticed, said inari listening to konohamaru and grinning.

Konohamaru blushed at this and continued.

We went to my cousin iroh's tea shop and talked, we even watched the tea shop while he was away and he was about to close down and had no customers. I showed her how to make tea, one thing led to another and we kissed, which we did for about 30 minutes or so, We barely let each other go and were all over each other.

Whoa, said Inari. Are you mad said konohamaru nervously at him, No said Inari grinning but I never even made out with her like that and the way you described, nowhere near it in fact. You guys must have some deep feelings for each other.

That's the thing, said konohamaru, I'm confused, I don't know what to do or think and I don't know how to feel right now, I'm frustrated.

Well said, Inari we are here for you if you want. You got to sort things out for yourself, said Shigeru. Give yourself time and her to sort through your feelings, said Udon. She will come around eventually said tenji. Meditate on it, added kouji that helps. Everyone all looked at kouji and stared, what? Said kouji. They couldn't believe that kouji was giving wise and good advice and excellent advice at that. Also get another opinion like shikamaru or naruto another point of view wouldn't hurt, said daichi. Also be open minded said nobori.

Thanks, guys said konohamaru getting up and turning to leave you're the best. What are friends for said Inari? Man said tenji, does hikari know about this. No, said konohamaru, deadpanned and I want it to stay that way tenji, you know how he is, if he finds out he will never let me live it down and you know how protective he is of his family specially hanabi, hinata and his sister.

Ok said Tenji I won't tell him but he will find out anyway. I can deal with that, said konohamaru and will when the time comes, bye guys he said running off to find naruto and shikamaru. Does, naruto know, said inari shouting at konohamaru, I'm going to tell him now, said konohamaru shouting back to him and jogging off. Meanwhile the guys continued to sit at Ichiraku's and talk.

Scene Change: Ikegata Estate:

Hinata and Tenten were doing light sparring in one of the Ikegata clan training areas of the estate when hanabi had found them walked up to them. They stopped when they saw hanabi. Hey, hanabi what's up said tenten? Hey, tenten-neechan I need to talk to you and my sister.

So, hanabi, are you ready to talk now, asked hinata. Yes, said hanabi. So what's up, said tenten. Something happened between me and konohamaru, yesterday at his cousin iroh's tea shop. Oh, said tenten smirking. What, said hinata smiling and grinning. He and I not only kissed yesterday but made out too. What? Both girls said, falling over anime style.

Wow, hanabi said tenten you guys must have really wanted each other said tenten. Yeah, said hanabi blushing and smiling softly. Hmm, said hinata smirking and thinking. I wish I could have something like that with naruto-kun, she thought. I envy you, sister, she thought to herself and staring at hanabi.

Well I am confused about my feelings for him and unsure of what to do. Well said hinata speaking up, you need to sort things out and then talk with him, said hinata. I agree, said tenten but give it time, she said for yourself and him. Everything will work itself out. It will, said hanabi almost doubtful. Yup, they said together. Thanks, guys said hanabi and she turned to leave and sort things out on the way to find konohamaru. Hinata and tenten went back to training and discussing what hanabi just told them.

Scene Change: Nara Manor:

Checkmate, naruto, I win said shikamaru grinning at him. Aw, no fair, shikamaru said naruto, your better at this game than me and you play it more and everyone knows you're a genius and the genius of the Nara clan, no doubt.

You lost, naruto and you can't use that as an excuse, get over it, said shikamaru grinning. Fine, a new game than, said naruto. Let's set up the shogi board again. Besides said shikamaru, you're a hard working fighting genius, so that makes us even, hey, naruto said shikamaru. I guess, so said naruto chuckling. Your drag, sometimes, said shikamaru.

Just than konohamaru, walked up to them and greeted them. Hey you look like you've been doing too much thinking, so what's on your mind, konohamaru said shikamaru. I have something to talk to you guys about, said konohamaru. Oh, said naruto grinning, sure thing little bro, fire away.

Well, said konohamaru, something happened between me and hanabi yesterday, he said. What of it, said shikamaru as he moved one of the shogi pieces to start the game, again. Me and hanabi-Chan kissed and made out yesterday in my cousin Iroh's tea shop while he was away, we were suppose to watch his shop for him and we did, it just sort of happened that s all, he stated bluntly.

What? Said shikamaru and naruto falling over anime style. Are you serious, konohamaru said naruto, man that's some news to put on bro, he said. What? Said shikamaru again, shocked, you've got to be crazy kidding me, here, man this is "such a drag" (troublesome) and with hanabi hyuga, hiashi hyuga's daughter no less.

Konohamaru, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into shikamaru warned, especially dealing with hiashi hyuga and one of the hyuga clan, no less. I somewhat do, I'm confused about my feelings for her and don't know what to do or anything and this also changes me and hanabi-Chan's friendship forever. Yeah you got that right, how troublesome, said shikamaru.

Well, said naruto, sort through your feelings for her and if you feel strongly for her than go for it. Tell her how you feel especially since it seems like ice princess feels the same way. True, said shikamaru, I gotta agree with naruto there. He's right but give it time for you and her first. Ok, got it said konohamaru, thanks guys, said konohamaru leaving to find hanabi. I'll catch up with you later, he said waving to them.

They waved back and resumed their game of shogi. Oh, naruto, shikamaru smirked it's your move. Uh, said naruto looking at the board and saw what shikamaru did. Darn it! Curse you and this game shikamaru, said naruto shaking a fist at him. Shikamaru could do nothing but laugh.

Scene Change: Busy streets of konoha

Konohamaru and hanabi ran through the streets of konoha, one looking for the other, they were not looking were they were going and then suddenly they collided with each other. Ouch, said hanabi, you should watch where you are going, pal she said getting up but not knowing who it was.

I could say the same for you, lady, said konohamaru also getting up and not knowing who it was and then they saw it was each other. They gasped.

Konohamaru? Hanabi-Chan? They both said in unison and in surprise. They both straightened themselves out and got nervous and began to fidget. S, so how are you doing, hanabi-Chan said konohamaru. I, I'm fine, said hanabi, how are you, she asked him. I, I'm ok, he said back. Hanabi-Chan I have to talk to you about something, said konohamaru. I do too, replied hanabi.

They both stuttered and got even more nervous and afraid. I can't do this, said hanabi as she backed away from him and ran off to the hyuga compound. I, I got to go too, said konohamaru lying and wanting to get away too and ran to the sarutobi estate.

Scene Change: Hyuga Compound:

Grandfather! Hanabi bellowed looking for her grandfather. I'm in the meditation room, said Laoshi loud enough for her to hear. I need to talk to you grandfather, said hanabi frantically and in a hurry.

Ok, he said calmly getting up from his meditation, let's go to my private quarters. Laoshi waked with hanabi behind him to is private quarters or his room and shut the door.

Alright, hanabi lets sit down and talk, said Laoshi. What's all the fuss about? It's me and, and, and she stuttered out. Konohamaru? Laoshi calmly answered for her. Yes, she said in surprise, how do you know, she asked.

My dear, granddaughter, I've known for quite some time about your feelings for him and how he feels about you. I've always, secretly and silently supported your friendship or a relationship between you two for a long time, now, he said. What? Hanabi said. You need advice about what to do as far as your feelings are concerned, hmm?

Yes, grandfather I do said hanabi calming down.

You need to calm yourself, my dear first, and meditate on what to do, search your feelings and give yourself time to do that and when you find what you are looking for them tell him how you feel. You already know how you feel; it's just understanding it and then confronting it mentally, physically and emotionally said Laoshi.

What if he doesn't feel the same way, what if he rejects me, she said.

Even if that were so, you know that you told him how you felt about him and that is the most important thing, because it's better to do that than to regret it and not tell him how you feel at all and wondering what could have been or what if. You must do it for yourself, not him, he will have to sort through his feelings as well and make a choice but know that you made the right one in telling him how you feel. Besides I get the feeling like he won't reject you.

What makes you so sure, said hanabi.

Call it a sixth sense, said Laoshi grinning. Now go hanabi, find him and tell him.

Yes, grandfather, I understand she bowed to him and got up and turned to leave. What about, father said Hanabi concerned. Don't worry about your father; said Laoshi, I will handle it. Ok, said hanabi as she hugged her grandfather, walked out the hyuga compound in a hurry to go over to sarutobi estate.

Scene Change: Sarutobi Estate:

Cousin Iroh! Yelled konohamaru. Konohamaru walked throughout the estate looking for Iroh. Hey, konohamaru said one of his cousins. Hey, Takato, said konohamaru. If you're looking for cousin iroh, he is in the fire and earth meditation room down the hall. Ok, thanks, takato said konohamaru.

Your welcome, konohamaru, said takato as takato walked off to train.

Konohamaru ran down the hall to the meditation room and asked to come inside. There was a sarutobi branch house servant woman's/ninja leaving for the door, he walked over to konohamaru. Honorable Grandson, you're not suppose to me in here, Iroh-san wishes not to be disturbed.

Konohamaru growled, as the title of honorable grandson rolled off of the servant woman's lips. GRRRRRR, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT, shouted konohamaru at the servant.

The servant woman gasped. Honorable Grand- .

Konohamaru shot her angry glare that said (Don't you dare finish that sentence and you know better than to call me that, glare.) He continued to glare daggers at the woman until she out of nervousness, apologized and called him by his name, satisfied, he apologized for yelling at her and smiled saying that she should take it easy and that although she is a sarutobi by blood, she has her own life other thing serving all day long and she had her ninja duties as well.

She thanked him but still said Iroh didn't want to be bothered. Iroh took this time to speak up.

It is ok, said Iroh calmly I was just finishing up, you may go now, he said to the servant woman and take konohamaru's advice about her own life and ninja duties to heart, he said with a smile.

He is right you have more to your life than just serving the main house of our clan. She bowed to Iroh and konohamaru, thanked them again and then left.

So, you wanted to talk to me said Iroh. Come, sit down and meditate with me. Konohamaru sat down and began to talk.

Yes, I need to talk to you, it's about me and hanabi.

You have feelings for her don't you, and something happened to you, yesterday at the tea shop while was away didn't it, Iroh said.

Well, said Iroh now becoming serious, what did you do.

Well, cousin iroh, konohamaru began to fidget and become nervous, he never saw his cousin iroh this serious before. I, I kind of made out in your tea shop, yesterday with hanabi, said konohamaru nervously.

WHAT! Boomed, Iroh, as his chakra became heavy and earth started to raise from the ground and levitate in the air and streams of fire blasted from the flaming candles surrounding him where he was sitting.

YOU DID WHAT, AND IN MY TEA SHOP, NO LESS, bellowed Iroh angrily. Y, yes, stuttered out konohamaru, I'm sorry, cousin iroh he said. IT'S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES, Now konohamaru! he said to him pushing chakra to his fist and it glowed red with fire as a huge flame surrounded his hand and reached for konohamaru, it is time for you to learn discipline, respect, and time for your punishment!, Iroh thundered.

Suffering will be your teacher! Iroh said seriously with a line he took from Ozai said to Zuko years ago when, Ozai punished zuko for being a coward and not fighting him in combat when he argued out loud with a clan council member during a war meeting, by burning and permanently scarring zuko's eye with fire chakra from his hand. This happened back when ozai's cruel years as a father compared to the present (Like in Avatar).

Ahh, said konohamaru putting his hand over his eyes. I have one last thing to say, said iroh seriously and it is that, you should have came to me before, he said grinning at konohamaru and falling down laughing hard and holding his stomach.

W, what said konohamaru surprised, hey, you tricked me, he said upset folding his arms across his chest. That was a sick joke, cousin iroh he said to him and how did you know about me and hanabi, I don't remember telling you that.

Iroh sat up and his laughing stopped, I couldn't help myself, you were practically asking for it, he said jokingly. Also, I knew something was up yesterday, my sixth sense told me so. When you get my age, you acquire something like that.

I'm not that old yet, grinned konohamaru jokingly.

Hey, watch it, said Iroh grinning at him.

Well said Iroh, you must be confused about your feelings for her and her feelings for you and your pretty scared too, I bet.

Konohamaru nodded his head at this.

You have to search your feelings, konohamaru and look inside yourself and see what it is that you truly want and you have to give it time, time for yourself and her. If you do not tell her how you feel, you will regret it, said Iroh.

What if she rejects me, said konohamaru?

That might be a chance that you have to take, regardless, said Iroh calmly. Nothing ventured nothing gained and you will always have your friendship with her even though it has changed since yesterday and will never be the same again.

Yeah, I know, konohamaru said sighing. I guess I have to go talk to her than.

I have a feeling that she will not turn you down, though, said Iroh.

Oh, what makes you think that, asked konohamaru?

Just my sixth sense telling me said Iroh smiling.

Hm, I see said konohamaru smiling and getting up to leave, thanks cousin iroh he said to him before he left to find hanabi.

Don't mention it, said Iroh before konohamaru left, I at least thought he was going to stay a bit longer to meditate with me before leaving thought Iroh out loud to himself. Oh well he said and went back to meditating.

Scene Change: Busy streets of konoha, in front of Ichiraku:

Hanabi waited in front of Ichiraku hoping that konohamaru would show up, konohamaru came running up to her, hoping she would be there and she was. Konohamaru, said hanabi smiling to him and waving her hand. Hanabi-Chan said konohamaru jogging up to her.

We need to talk, konohamaru, she said. I know, he replied back. I have a place where we can talk, another secret place that me and niichan go to sometimes. Konohamaru led the way.

They reached the top of hokage monument and they stood on top of the head of the third hokage.

Hanabi listen started konohamaru, about yesterday, I don't know what came over me yesterday but I want to talk things out with you. I'm sorry if I offended you yesterday.

No, you didn't said hanabi softly; I hope I didn't offend you she said. Konohamaru shook his head. It's just that, I don't want our friendship to change, she said.

It won't, we are still best friends, hanabi-Chan said konohamaru. Can we really, she said look what happened yesterday; we can't pretend nothing happened and go on with our lives. I know said konohamaru, sighing running his hands through his dark brown spiky hair.

We need to be truthful and honest with each other, he said finally. There is obviously something there between us and more than just friends and I don't know what it is but I want to find out, he added.

I know said hanabi, I want to find out too, she said and I know I feel something.

Well so do I, said konohamaru taking a deep breath before saying what he wanted to say. Hanabi-Chan said konohamaru. Yes, konohamaru said hanabi back.

I need to tell you something, do you remember when we were at Ichiraku and we were catching up with each other after not seeing each other for a while and it was right before the mission to the land of birds and kaede.

Yeah, replied hanabi, what of it. Well, he said nervously remember when I said I was crushing on another girl other than kaede but that it wouldn't work out between us and I never told you, who she was, he said.

Yeah, I remember that conversation because I also remember you saying that, she replied.

Well, the girl I was crushing on but wouldn't work with was you, hanabi-Chan, konohamaru said.

W, What, hanabi gasped in shock at this. Konohamaru continued even after seeing her reaction. I have had feelings for you like this ever sense we were in the academy together. It's been a long time but even though I dated kaede and was crushing on other girls, I know that none of them held a candle to you, hanabi-Chan. I know that don't feel for them like I do for you.

That's all I have to say, I can see you are surprised and didn't responded well with what I said, so I will take my leave and you can think about it, I hope this doesn't change our friendship. Konohamaru walked past, hanabi and was leaving.

Hanabi was still in shock, I can't believe he is interested in me and after all this time, the guy I have the strongest feelings for likes me back, and he is just going to casually leave, I got to say something, hanabi thought.

Wait a minute, don't go, said hanabi frantically. Konohamaru turned only to look into white, milky soft eyes and purple lavender hair, who was inches from his face. W, what when did she get so close, he stuttered out in his mind.

She grabbed konohamaru's hands in hers as he looked on at her in shock. I have something to tell you too, konohamaru, she said softly smiling at him, it's now or never, I got to do this she thought.

I like you too, konohamaru, she said. W, what, konohamaru was in shock yet again. She likes me back, impossible, is this a dream, he thought. No, this isn't a dream, she said reading his mind. Uh, he said still shocked. It's practically written all over your face, she said.

I've, liked you since we were in the academy too, and that day we talked at Ichiraku and I talked about crushing on another person but I said it might not work out, well that person was you.

Konohamaru was shocked even more by this.

But I was too afraid to tell you and didn't want to be rejected said hanabi.

You didn't, he said finally coming out of his shock. She nodded her head.

Yesterday was great, she said and I loved kissing you, you're great at it she said. Konohamaru blushed at this, really he said. Well so are you, he said. Hanabi blushed as well.

So, are we going to make this official said, konohamaru? Yeah, said hanabi from this day forward we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Yes! Said konohamaru celebrating. Settle down, fathead! Said hanabi irritated. Sorry, he said nervously.

You will ruin the moment, she said, what moment he said calming down and looking into her eyes, as she looked into his. They both stared for a minute and then tilted their heads to the side and leaned in close and gave each other a deep and passionate kiss.

They wrapped their arms around each other and closed their eyes and continued to kiss for a five more minutes, not letting each other go or letting up. Then they finally broke away and held each other's hand and they smiled.

Well, konohamaru said Hanabi. Call me, Kono for short, he said smiling softly to her, we are a couple now so you have that special allowance.

If that's the case, than call me Nabi, for short she said to him. How about Nabi or Nabi-chan, he said excitedly. Fine, fine she sighed and then smirked at him. Let's go tell our families, said hanabi, starting with yours. Ok, said konohamaru. They then left the top of the hokage monument to tell their families but first heading to the sarutobi estate.

As they left, in the shadows of the trees, to figures watched the whole thing. Hm, good so they are finally together, said the first figure. Yeah, said the second. You got to love, the Byakugan, said the second. Let's tell everyone, hikari said the first figure. Right, said hikari but let them tell our clan. Uncle Hiashi will not talk this well, neji. Do not worry about Uncle, grandfather, will handle that, he said so himself, said neji, and hinata will be overjoyed.

He, He, He, said Hikari, now I get to tease and rag on both konohamaru and hanabi for this, I will never let, konohamaru live this, one down, he grinned mischievously. Hm, said neji smirking, let us go, said neji as they disappeared.

Scene Change: Hokage's Office:

So that's what happened, said Tsunade. Yes, lady Tsunade, said hikari and neji in unison.

Alright said tsunade, you are dismissed and they vanished. Hm, said Tsunade grinning, well Jiraiya it looks like I win the bet. Jiraiya stepped out from the shadows of the corner in Tsunade's office. I guess you did, said jiraiya grumbling. Pay up, said Tsunade. Here said jiraiya, handing her the money, you when this bet Tsunade but you won't when the others.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go see Iroh, Azula and zuko and give them their money too, he said grumbling and disappeared.

Hm, said Tsunade, Now that I have won, something bad will happen, she thought, I better keep a look out for anything and keep everyone updated and on alert but now I wonna celebrate, konohamaru's and hanabi's new relationship, she grinned and that meddlesome, stick in the mud, Hiashi better not ruin it, either, she thought. I've already talked to my old friend, hanabi's grandfather Laoshi, what he can't handle I will. Everything is already in place in case something goes down and now to leave, as she made a shadow clone of herself with 25% percent of her chakra, while the real one left.

Scene Change: Sarutobi Estate:

Hey, cousin Iroh, hey gloom and doom, said konohamaru as konohamaru and hanabi walked up to him as Iroh was doing some training with azula and zuko in one of the training areas. (Gloom and Doom are the nicknames konohamaru gave Zuko and Azula, often saying it together, Gloom being Zuko because of his gloomy and serious personality at times, and Doom being Azula, when she gets angry she can be scary also because she intimidates and scares away almost anyone she comes across except for those that know where well and for her ruthlessness and mercilessness). Zuko and Azula frown at their nicknames sending their cousin konohamaru an angry glare. Konohamaru ignored the glares as they stopped training and let them know the news.

Guess what guys! He said we are together; me and hanabi-Chan are in a relationship now. What? They all said in unison except for Iroh grinning because he already knew it would happen. Wow, I didn't think you had the guts to tell her, konohamaru, said Zuko ,grinning. Ditto, said Azula.

Congratulations, they all said Ozai, kotetsu, and Fire Lord Azulon walked by and heard this and they congratulated the two.

Fire Lord is the name and title given to the Sarutobi Clan leader and anyone who holds the title of clan leader past and present similar to the title of hokage and the or clan leaders tend to be the strongest in the clan such in the case as the fire lord.

Thanks, cousin kotetsu and cousin ozai and Great Uncle Azulon, said konohamaru. Hanabi bowed to him said thank you as well.

Azulon Sarutobi is the younger half brother of the third hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi in which they have the same mother but different fathers, in which both their fathers were brothers. Sasuke Sarutobi (Hiruzen Sarutobi/third hokage's father) and Sozin Sarutobi (Azulon Sarutobi and unnamed brother's father). He is father to Ozai and Iroh, grandfather to Zuko, Azula, the late Lu Ten, and kotetsu. He is great grandfather to shigeru and daichi. He is also the late Asuma's uncle and konohamaru's great uncle. He is a legendary and renowned shinobi and powerful as he is low-level S-Class. He was called Azulon "of the great gates" after a S-ranked technique he invented which he named after himself called the Great Gates of Azulon.

His sons surpassed him in strength, Iroh being a bit stronger than Ozai, and he losing some of his strength due to old age.

We have to celebrate, said Iroh tomorrow, we will all together and have some of my famous hot jasmine tea.

What? Everyone including ozai and azulon fell down anime style. What? Said Iroh was it something I said.

Uh, said konohamaru maybe, cousin Iroh but me and hanabi-Chan got to go as they ran out of the estate and headed towards the hyuga compound.

Iroh and the others were heard arguing about his tea and how obsessed he is over it. What is wrong with you, Uncle! Said zuko, you can't celebrate everything with tea! He's right uncle, said Azula. Hm, said Ozai and azulon. He has a point, dad said kotetsu. So, you are agreeing with him now, kotetsu, said Iroh huffing and folding his arm across his chest and looking away.

To think that you are suppose to be my son, said Iroh dramatically, where did I go wrong. Tea makes everything better. Everyone did a sweat drop at this.

Boom (thunderous stomp)

A giant told the size of a house appeared with jiraiya sitting on top of its head. Yo, said jiraiya. Master Jiraiya said azula, zuko, kotetsu and ozai. Azulon-sempai said Jiraiya. How are you? It's good to see you too, again jiraiya, it's been far too long as they greeted each other. Hey, Ozai, hm, smirked ozai as he greeted jiraiya and azulon. Oh, he said to Iroh, zuko and azula, here is your money as he gave it to them and they took it. I wish I could stay long but I will catch up with you all, said jiraiya I have a celebration to attend. Kotetsu, Iroh, Azulon-sempai, Ozai, I will catch up with you guys, later. He jumped back on the toad and it poofed away and the others went back to arguing about tea and celebrations.

Scene Change: Hyuga Compound:

Wow, congratulations, hanabi said Hinata overjoyed and excitedly and you too konohamaru-kun. Thanks hinata-neechan, he said blushing shyly. Yes, congratulations are in order, said neji and hikari walking up and grinning. Oh, no said konohamaru sighing and slapping his forehead. Oh, yes said hikari. It's payback time, he said.

Konohamaru has a girlfriend, a girlfriend, girlfriend, konohamaru has a girlfriend, ha ha ha, said Hikari laughing and pointing at konohamaru, who was blushing from embarrassment. Stop it, hikari! Said hanabi angrily. Oh, said hikari, smirking.

Don't you dare, said hanabi angrily at him, you better not say it.

Hanabi has a boyfriend, a boyfriend, a boyfriend, hanabi has a boyfriend, kiss, kiss, said hikari. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

She blushed a deep red and got angry, HIKARI, IM GONNA KILL YOU! she said as she started to chase him. Neji, hinata, and konohamaru did a sweat drop at the scene in front of them.

That's enough, hikari said Laoshi stepping out from the shadows. Hikari stopped, sorry grandfather, he bowed to him. Hey, said neji we will meet you guys later at the barbeque as he , hinata and hikari left the compound. Ok, said hanabi and konohamaru back.

Congratulations both of you, said Laoshi smiling. I've been waiting a long time for this day. Eh! Said konohamaru. I thought I was going to get more gray hairs and be in a wheel chair before the two of you got together, he grinned jokingly. What? Said konohamaru you knew this whole time. Laoshi nodded yes.

He also supports us, said Hanabi. Wow, sweet said konohamaru. He bowed to Laoshi. Thank you Lord Laoshi. Your welcome, konohamaru, but you don't have to call me Lord Laoshi, I'm not head of the hyuga clan anymore, Laoshi or Laoshi-san will do just fine, he smiled.

Come, hanabi, konohamaru, your father is in the lightning mediation room. They walked to the meditation room and a hyuga guard let them in.

Father, hanabi, and you, Hiashi said glaring angrily at konohamaru. What is the meaning of this? Hiashi asked. Hanabi has something to tell you, Hiashi, said Laoshi, calmly.

Speak, Hanabi, said Hiashi sternly. Well, father, said hanabi nervously. Konohamaru put his hand on her shoulder, she turned to him and he nodded for her to continue and assured her that everything would be ok, she continued.

Father, she said I have a new boyfriend. Oh, said Hiashi and who might that be, he said.

It's konohamaru, he and I are boyfriend and girlfriend now. WHAT! Boomed Hiashi as everyone covered their ears. Lighting sparked and began to strike violently around the room. Hanabi and Konohamaru took a step back. Hiashi's Byakugan was activated as he glared angrily back and forth between his daughter and konohamaru.

WHAT! Hiashi boomed again, I ABSOLUTELY FORBID IT, YOU HANABI ARE NOT DATING THIS, THIS BOY, NOT NOW OR EVER! Boomed hiashi venomously. AND YOU, KONOHAMAMARU, YOU ARE NEVER TO COME HERE AGAIN, NOW GET OUT!

Father, said hanabi gasping. Konohamaru growled at this and stepped beside hanabi and put his hand in hers. No, he said. WHAT,! Thundered hiashi. I said no, konohamaru said flatly.

HOW DARE YOU, DISRESPECT ME, BOY! AND IN MY OWN HOUSE, DO YOU KNOW, WHO I AM, I AM HIASHI HYUGA, THE LEADER OF THE HYUGA CLAN, THE MOST POWERFUL CLAN IN OUR VILLIAGE.

I am not just a nobody, said konohamaru, I'm konohamaru Sarutobi, I am the grandson of the third hokage. So you are boy, said Hiashi seriously.

I will be hokage, someday; just you wait and see added konohamaru.

Hokage, ha, you're a joke, you will never be hokage, give up your foolish dream boy, or it will get you killed someday, Hiashi said mocking him and laughing.

Konohamaru growled at him and balled up his fist. He will be father, said hanabi calmly. What? Said hiashi. He will be hokage, someday, I believe in him. I won't break up with him, I finally realized how I feel about him and I won't let him go for anyone, not even you father, no matter how much you hate him or disapprove of him.

YOU DARE TO DISOBEY ME, YOU DARE TO DEFY ME, HANABI! Yelled hiashi. I AM YOUR FATHER AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY!

No, father! Shouted hanabi back.

THAT IS IT, FOR YOUR DISOBEDIENCE, YOU WILL BE PUNISHED! AND I EVEN HADN'T BEGIN TO THINK WHAT SEVERE PUNISHMENT YOU SHOULD HAVE YET!

ENOUGH, HIASHI! This is gone on long enough! said Laoshi. Father, stay out of this, said Hiashi angrily to his father. You dare to talk to me like this, Hiashi I am your father! The way you are talking to me will not be tolerated. Hiashi gasped. Father, he said shocked.

I warned you didn't I, he said angrily at him about your temper towards me and everyone else and I warned you about hanabi and konohamaru. Stay out of their relationship, it is for them to handle and decide, not for you!

Father! Hiashi shouted.

Enough! I have spoken and if you decide to overturn my decision than perhaps you would like to deal with not only me, but the hokage as well.

What? She has a hand in this too. She cannot interfere with hyuga affairs, It's not her place, hiashi said angrily. On the contrary, konohamaru is not a hyuga, unlike hanabi and she came to me and we talked and we agreed that if you don't stay out of hanabi's and konohamaru's relationship that there could be dire consequences.

You went behind my back, father, knowing this was more of a hyuga matter, you betrayed me, said hiashi angrily.

No, my son I did not betray you, I am doing what I thought it best to do for hanabi by supporting her and protecting her from you. I knew that you would act this way and would not listen to reason, said Laoshi angrily as well.

She is my daughter father; I can and will protect her, said Hiashi seriously.

Are you protecting her now are you supporting her now, ask yourself these questions hiashi, said Laoshi. Hiashi calmed down and thought. Laoshi calmed down as well and then sighed and continued to talk.

The Sarutobi Clan knows of their relationship and if they find out they will not be pleased said Laoshi as he continued. Konohamaru, is the heir to the Sarutobi clan and its rightful heir at that and you would also have deal with my old friend Azulon, who is the current fire lord, and he will not be too happy about it and neither will Iroh and especially Ozai, you know how he is and can be. He is also your friend. Not to mention that the Saruobi Clan is the second strongest clan in konoha.

I can handle Ozai, we have been friends long enough and I know him well said Hiashi now calmly.

Even if you do, interfere with hanabi's and konohamaru's relationship and it will end your friendship with him and you will have, full force of the Sarutobi Clan on you, the hokage, myself and a couple of hyugas in the clan who will disagree with you, mainly neji, hikari and hinata.

Alright fine said Hiashi you have my permission hanabi, do as you please, Hiashi waved them away.

Konohamaru and hanabi smiled and hugged each other.

Laoshi looked at his son, Hiashi apologized to his father for his outbursts and manners towards him, which shocked, hanabi, who had never seen her father at submissively to anyone but the hokage.

Know this, he said to konohamaru seriously, I will be watching you, boy and you will have to truly prove yourself to me, many times over if you ever want to convince me that you are good enough for my daughter.

Yes, sir said konohamaru bowing to him. Hiashi sneered at him folded his arms across his chest and looked away, humph, he said you may go.

Konohamaru and hanabi walked out and left the hyuga compound and went to the barbeque restaurant. Well Hiashi, said Laoshi calming down and smirked. I believe I win the bet and you owe money. Hiashi grumbled to himself and gave his father the money. His father left while counting his money and left Hiashi to continue to fume over losing the bet and over the situation with hanabi and konohamaru.

Scene Change: Barbeque Restaurant:

Konohamaru and hanabi walked in and were greeted by everyone from the konoha eleven to the konoha eighteen, including shibuya who heard from hikari, udon, shino, naruto and the other konoha eleven and konoha eighteen, kakashi, Yamato, jiraiya, the hokage, shizune, Anko, Genma, Ebisu, Raido, Aoba, Iruka, Ibiki, shikaku, chouza, kaede and many more people they knew. Even Ayame and teuchi from Ichiraku ramen bar were there.

Wow, I never knew so many people wanted us to hook up said konohamaru. Yeah, said Hanabi amazed at everyone that showed up.

Who did this anyway, who got everyone together for a celebration four us, said konohamaru and hanabi.

Well, said Izumo coming up to them with kotetsu with him, who just entered along with Iroh, zuko, azula, ozai and Laoshi, it was Master Iroh's idea and he had been planning this since, yesterday. After, your friends heard, they got everyone together including master jiraiya and the hokage.

So, you guys are finally together said naruto, jiraiya and tsunade walking up along with inari, moegi, udon, chouji, shikamaru, shigeru, daichi, matsuri, hinata, hikari, nobori, shibuya, kaede and neji.

Yeah and it feels great too said konohamaru putting his arm around hanabi's neck and hanabi kissed him on the cheek.

Awwwww. Everyone said which made konohamaru and hanabi blush different shades of red.

Well everyone said Tsunade, lets party. Yeah! Said shouted everyone. Konohamaru, hanabi joined everyone else and as they talked, laughed, danced and had fun the whole day.

One thought that popped up in everyone else's mind, who were there, was that finally, finally after all this time after three years, Konohamaru and hanabi were together, finally.
