[Naruto And Hana's Bedroom]
Naruto was currently in his joint bedroom that he shared with Hana and getting dressed after his shower. He was awakened not long ago by his wife and told that the Hokage had summoned him for a mission and that it was urgent. Neither of them liked having to part ways so soon because they've only been married for a couple of days. They didn't even get to have a proper Honeymoon together. Naruto made it a mental note to ask Tsunade if he and Hana could have a vacation together once he got back from his mission because the both of them certainly wanted to spend some more time together rather than be parted so quickly. Hana even thought this may have been payback for her fight with the Hokage but even Tsunade wasn't that petty.
Once Naruto had his orange trousers and white tee shirt on, Hana entered the room with a smile. "Naruto-Kun, I have something for you." she told him.
"You do?" he asked, turning to her. "What is it?" he wondered.
Hana stepped in holding something that she got for him. "It's a gift." she answered.
Naruto smiled brightly at the awesome new jacket she got him. The jacket was mostly black with the same red swirly design on the back and with orange flames decorating the bottom and the sleeves. It also came with a hood that could be zipped inside of the collar for concealment. Hana stepped behind her husband and helped him into it. She stepped back once he got his arms through the sleeves and zipped it up.
"Do you like it Naruto-Kun?" she asked, watching him check himself out in the mirror.
"Like it? I love it!" he replied. He then turned back to her and started rubbing the back of his head. "But now I feel bad because I haven't gotten you anything." he told her, trying not to look ashamed.
Hana responded by leaning in to hug him. "You can get me anything you want to when you get back Naruto-Kun." she told him. "But right now, what I want more than anything else is for my Husband to promise that he'll come back home to me safe and sound." she said softly.
Naruto hugged her back before speaking lovingly in her ear. "I promise Hana-Chan, I'll come home to you." he told her. "And I never go back on my word." he added.
"I love you Naruto Uzumaki." she replied. "I love you so much." she told him.
"I love you too." he told her just as lovingly before meeting her lips in a long and passionate kiss.
[The Gates Of The Compound]
About ten minutes later, Naruto was at the gates to the Inuzuka Compound with Hana and the Boys. Hana was now wearing her work outfit because she had some work to do at the clinic today. Naruto kissed Hana one more time before getting down on one knee to pet the Huskies.
"You Boys be good now you hear?" he asked as he pet one of them behind their ears where they liked it. "I'll be sure to bring each of you treats when I get back from my mission." he told them which got all three dogs to bark happily from their new master's promise.
Naruto then headed off to the Hokage's Office while Hana walked with her Boys to her clinic. Along the way, she felt she was being followed and sure enough, she turned to see a familiar friendly face.
"Oh, hey Anko." she greeted as she stopped to talk with her old senpai.
"Hey Hana." she greeted back as she walked up to talk. "I understand that congrats are in order." she remarked, hearing about how she and Naruto were now married.
Hana blushed a bit. "Thanks." she replied. "Naruto-Kun and I are very happy together, Mom and the Boys love him and I have really high hopes for the future." she told her.
Anko would walk with Hana now to the clinic and all the while, she walked with her hands behind her head and a smirk on her face. Hana knew her friend very well and as time went on, she became more and more irritated with the Jonin. After about fifteen minutes or so, she couldn't take it any longer and turned to face her.
"Anko, you and I both know what's on your mind." she said with annoyance.
"Come on." said Anko. "Now that you're married, you're allowed to talk about sex without being considered a slut or a pervert." she replied.
Hana sighed and looked forward while they walked. "Then just go ahead and get it out of your system." she told her.
Anko smirked again and turned to her while they kept walking. "So, how is he under the sheets?" she asked her. "Is he the one who's dominating you, or is it the other way around? I'm only asking because I've seen you both switch from top to bottom." she told her.
"Have you...been watching Naruto-Kun and I while we have sex?" she asked her.
"You really should learn to make sure your windows are closed." she remarked, seeing Hana's eye twitch.
"And I take it that you enjoy watching people have sex?" she asked her.
"Not as much as I enjoy having it." she replied. "But seriously, I have to ask if you're the Dom in the relationship or if he is." she told her.
Hana took a moment to think on that before answering. "Personally, we prefer to call it leading and following." she replied. "But I suppose if that's the term you wish to use, we take turns. There are times he's the one in control and then there are times he lets me take the lead. Now if you're wondering who dominates who, Naruto-Kun doesn't really have the personality to be a Dom. He's too soft and gentle for be the dominant type in our relationship. However, he won't let me dominate him either." she explained.
"Glad to hear that the kid can at least please ya." she responded. "But let me know if you two want someone to act as the filling of a Naruto and Hana sandwich." she joked.
Hana about lost her cool and turned to shout at her. "NEVER!" she barked. "Naruto-Kun and I have taken our sacred vows to one another during our Joining. Naruto-Kun and I will never have anyone else but one another until death do we part." she finished sternly and actually scaring Anko a bit.
"Easy Hana, easy." said replied with her hands up in defense. "I was only joking...a little." she replied quietly saying the last part.
"I'm sorry it's just..." replied Hana. "The bond he and I have now goes far beyond just sex. He and I are one and I can't bear the thought of loosing him." she told her.
Anko smiled and responded by placing a hand on her friend's shoulder. "I'm sorry Hana, I didn't mean to make you upset." she told her. "Tell you what, since Naruto is on his mission and I've got nothing I'm really doing tonight, how about you come over and we'll watch another porno together. You may even learn some fun new tricks to practice with Naruto in the bedroom for extra spicy nights." she winked, making Hana blush a bit.
"I think I could make some time to visit my friend for a dirty movie." she replied. "If there's some Dango and Sweet Red Bean Soup involved too." she added.
"It's a date." she replied and like that, Anko was off and Hana clocked herself in at the clinic to begin work.
[Hokage's Office]
Naruto arrived in the Hokage's office shortly after he'd been summoned. Upon entering, he saw Tsunade sitting behind her desk with Shizune behind her and as always, holding Tonton in her arms as well as Neji, Tenten and Lee standing before her. They all looked like they were waiting for him as well.
"Baa-San." said Naruto, walking into the room and up to the desk. "Hey guys." he added, addressing Gai's team.
"I'm glad that you're here Naruto." replied Tsunade, simply ignoring the Baa-San remark even if it pissed her off to be thought of as an old woman. "I'm asking you here because Neji, Tenten and Lee are about to go on a mission and I'm adding you to their team for additional support." she told him.
"Well, I'm ready for whatever you have for me." he told her, forming a fist and punching the inside of his other hand.
"Glad to here it." she replied, before addressing everyone. "I'm sending all of you to the Land of Seas in the south. There's a group of pirate ships that are attacking local trading vessels. For the Daimyo of the Land of Seas and all their Nobility, Trading is crucial to their economy and when you have a small fleet of Pirates attacking their ships and looting their trading goods, they're at a risk of a collapsing economy and their people losing jobs and money. You're mission is to go to the Land of Seas, meet with the Daimyo and then find the Pirates and deal with them." she explained to all of them. "Any questions?" she asked.
Naruto did raise his hand and got a nod from her to ask. "No offence, but is a fourth member to this team really needed to deal with a bunch of Pirates and if so, where's Gai?" he asked her.
"Both of those are good questions and I'll answer them for you." she replied before leaning forward in her seat and placing her elbows on the table while lacing her fingers under her chin. "First of all, Gai's on another mission and will still be away for a few more days. By then, you'll already be on your way to the Land of Seas." she explained. "Secondly, this is an A Rank Mission because we've received intel that the Captain of these Pirates is a Rogue Jonin from Kirigakure. His name is Rokuro and he's a very dangerous Assassin." she finished.
"That's truly disgraceful." said Lee, balling his hand into a fist.
"I agree completely." replied Neji. "For someone to overturn his loyalties to his village and become a bandit or a pirate is absolutely disgusting." he added.
"Well, what are we waiting for then?" asked Naruto. "We should be off to the Land of Seas." he told all of them.
"Tsunade-Sama, when are we to depart?" asked Tenten.
"I'm giving your team three hours to get ready, then I want you out the southern gate and on your way to the Land of Seas." she replied. "And please all of you, especially you Naruto Uzumaki." she said, pointing a finger at him accusingly. "You're meeting with a Feudal Lord and his Family. Furthermore, the Land of Seas are our friends and allies. Be on your best behavior and be on time. We've sent a message to him in advance, telling him that you'd be there in five days." she told them.
"Yes Ma'am." said Lee with a salute.
"Yes Tsunade-Sama." replied both Neji and Tenten in unison.
'Why am I always the one she says "especially you Naruto" when she sends us to meet a Feudal Lord? I'm not that bad am I?' he asked in his mind.
"If that is all, then you're dismissed." she ordered and the four of them were off.
[Down The Hallway]
Naruto was walking down the hallway, with Gai's team when he crossed paths with his mentor and friend, Jiraiya who looked a whole lot better now. Naruto smiled and stopped for a second after telling Neji, Tenten and Lee that he would meet them at the gates.
"How's it going Ero-Sannin?" asked Naruto to the old toad sage.
"Much better." he replied. "You look like you're going on a new mission." he remarked.
"Yeah, I'm filling in as the fourth man for Gai's Team and headed out to the Land of Seas with Neji, Tenten and Bushy Brow." he told him.
"Really?" asked Jiraiya. "You've only been married to Hana for a couple of days and you're already leaving her?" he asked with a brow raised.
"Yeah." he replied, rubbing the back of his head. "Hana-Chan and I didn't really think things all the way through before we undertook our Joining. She and I are gonna talk to Baa-San when I get back and ask for a vacation together as a Honeymoon." he explained.
Jiraiya smiled at that. "I'll try and talk to her about that as well." he told him.
"Thanks Ero-Sannin." he replied smiling before walking past him. "Anyway, I'm headed to Ichiraku's for a couple of bowls of Miso Ramen before I leave. I'll see you later." he called back to him as he made his way out.
Jiraiya smiled and continued to make his way to his destination.
[Hokage Office]
Tsunade was going over some more paperwork at her desk when she heard a knock. She replied, saying that it was open and then looked to see Jiraiya enter the room. The old toad sage's smile vanished when he saw his old teammate staring at him with that cold and hard look. He knew she was still pretty mad at him.
"Now Tsunade, I know you're still angry but please don't look at me like that." he said with a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face. "I told you, what happened at the bath house was an accident. I didn't mean to fall into the ladies side, I was running and I tripped." he explained.
"And why were you running again?" she asked with a brow raised. "Because I recall Tsuma Inuzuka looking pretty steamed before you fell in." she remarked.
Jiraiya was sweating more and rubbing the back of his neck. "Tsunade, what happened-" he began before she cut him off.
"What do you want Jiraiya?" she asked, not looking mad but just annoyed. She really wasn't interested in hearing him try and lie his way out of this.
"It's about Naruto." he replied.
"Well, what about him?" she asked.
"I've had something on my mind for a while now and since you're the Hokage, I have to get your permission before I can go through with what I want to talk to him about." he told her.
Tsunade seemed genuinely interested now because Jiraiya looked like he was really serious when he brought this up. "I see." she replied. "And just what is it that you want to talk to Naruto about and why do you need to talk with me first?" she asked him.
[Ichiraku's]
Naruto was currently eating at his favorite shack, the Ichiraku's. He was getting as much as he could now because he wasn't sure how soon he'd get to have ramen again. Based upon what he learned from Neji and Tenten, they were gonna be gone for at least a few weeks and he wasn't sure if the Land of Seas had any good ramen like home did. Naruto had just finished his third bowl before his friend Ayame handed him a fourth one. Naruto was surprised actually because he didn't order a fourth bowl this time and this wasn't a standard miso pork ramen which was his favorite, but the special which was actually the finest and most delicious as well as the most expensive. Naruto turned his gaze to the lovely young ramen waitress who smiled brightly at him.
"Um, Ayame, I didn't order a fourth bowl." he confessed. "Especially one of your most expensive bowls." he added.
"Yeah I know." she smiled again. "But this is on the house. Dad and I wanted to offer you our personal congrats for your marriage." she told him.
Naruto was surprised by that. "Wait, when did you?" he asked.
Teuchi laughed and stepped forward from the back of his shack. "Your friend Ino is quiet the gossip." he replied. "She stopped by yesterday for her usual diet ramen and told us how you married a lovely young lady from the Inuzuka Clan. That is true right?" he asked.
Naruto smiled. "Oh yeah." he answered. "Hana-Chan and I couldn't be happier together." he told him.
"Well, please bring her by sometime for a bowl. We'd really like to meet her." said Ayame.
"I'll talk to her about it sure." he answered.
"Enjoy your ramen Naruto." said Teuchi as he stepped back into the back again. "And once again, congratulations." he added.
Naruto smiled and looked down at his bowl of ramen which had such a large selection of meats and beans along with eggs and even seafood. Naruto took his chop sticks and lifted some noodles to his mouth and his eyes lit up at how good this stuff tasted. Naruto was gonna leave his village today with a very satisfied feeling.
[Konoha Streets]
Naruto made his way to the gates of the village shortly after he finished his lunch. He couldn't help but notice how good his new orange flames jacket looked and how comfortably it fit on him. Now that he really thought about it, he received very few gifts from anyone. His potted plant which he moved to his new home with Hana was given to him by the old man shortly after he was moved into his old apartment when he was five years old. When he was twelve, Iruka gave him his first leaf headband which symbolized his status as a Konoha ninja. Truth told, he actually had to earn it like any other student in the academy, but he felt like it was a gift because it wasn't just your average Hitai Ate. It was Iruka's and he asked to wear it so many times and in the end, he gave it to him.
The point was, very few people have ever given something to him that they didn't have to. Hana's gift was special like the few others he had because it was given to him out of love. Naruto had plenty of people in his life who were precious to him, but Hana was someone who he loved now more than anyone else and who he knew loved him back just as much. Naruto kept thinking about these things as he made his way down the streets towards the gates. He really wanted to take some time to shop around for a gift for her and surprise her with it when he got home. She went out of her way to show her love for him by buying him a very nice gift and now he wanted to do the same for her. Maybe something like a necklace or a pair of earrings.
While he walked, he heard talking up ahead and looked to see Sakura and Ino. He stopped where he was for a moment and just looked on as the girls kept walking and talking till they both noticed him and stopped as well.
"Hey Naruto." said Ino smiling only to wonder why the long silence.
Naruto and Sakura just looked at one another for a long while with the pinkette feeling a little awkward now as Naruto just looked on at her with a totally emotionless expression.
"Naruto I..." Sakura began before stopping herself.
Naruto then picked back up and walked right past them both. "I have a mission with Neji, Tenten and Bushy Brow." he replied, not even looking back at his teammate. "I'll see you again in a week or two." he added.
Ino turned to look at Sakura who let out a sigh. "I take it things are still tense between you and Naruto." she observed.
"Several days ago, he and I had a really bad fight." she admitted. "It ended when I said something and really hurt his feelings. I wanna make things right, but he's done everything to avoid me." she told her.
"Why would you even pick a fight with him in the first place?" Ino asked her. "Was this about him and Hana?" she asked.
"Well...yes." she answered. "I wanted to know how and why he got with her and so quickly." she explained.
"And what happened?" she asked her.
"Like I said, I said something I shouldn't have." she replied. "It's been several days now and he still won't talk to me and he hasn't shown up to our training field with Sai and Yamato-Senpai." she told her.
"Well, I think you should give Naruto a little more time to himself." Ino advised. "I'm sure he can't stay mad at you forever and once he's been angry about it long enough, just say you're sorry. Naruto's a really nice guy and you're one of his friends so I'm sure he'll forgive you." she told her.
Sakura and Ino would continue talking as they made their way to Konoha General where they'd work throughout the day.
[Konoha's Gates]
Shortly after his encounter with Sakura, Naruto would arrive at the gates of his village and meet up with Neji, Tenten and Lee. Once everyone was ready to go, they headed out and took a turn to go southward so they'd be taking the road towards the Land of Seas. Naruto did take one last look at the village as they walked and thought about Hana. Thing was that he had gone on many missions before this one and always had known he was gonna make it back once it was done. This time however was different. This was his first mission away from Hana shortly after they've been married and he felt this sense of responsibility to make good on his word and come home to her to take care of his wife. Naruto had a real sense of being a husband now.
After only a couple of minutes, Lee decided to talk with Naruto. "Hey Naruto, I noticed the new jacket. Where'd you get it?" he asked him.
"Oh, Hana-Chan." gave it to me." said Naruto grinning. "In fact, she gave it to me as a gift before I left the house this morning. Isn't she awesome?" he asked with his face looking all happy and dreamy while he thought about her.
"I had heard that you have recently been married to Kiba's Sister." said Neji. "I'm curious as to how this came about." he added.
Naruto blushed as the thoughts and images all rushed through in how only a couple of days, they went to her sneaking into his bedroom, seducing him, later them both professing their love for one another, confessions of what they both kept secret from one another, their joining and later moving into a new house together on the Inuzuka compound after less than a week.
"It's a long story." Naruto finally told him.
"Well, I'll tell you what Naruto." said Tenten who smiled as she remembered hearing the whole thing from Ino. "You should get her a gift when we get back." she told him.
"I was thinking the same thing." Naruto replied. "I just don't know what yet." he confessed.
"Well, a lot of woman do love jewelry so I'd recommend something like that." she suggested. "The Land of Seas has a lot of different gift shops as well so it may be worthwhile to consider shopping around for a decent present to get her." she told him.
"Yeah, that's actually a really good idea." Naruto thought. "Thanks Tenten." he added.
The troop of four would continue on the road and talk to pass the time. On occasion, Lee would challenge Naruto to a race and Naruto, not being one to back out of a challenge, would accept with Lee promising that if he lost, he'd continue the rest of the trip to the Land of Seas on his hands. Tenten and Neji would watch on in mild irritation.
[Hokage's Office]
Tsunade sat behind her desk with Jiraiya standing before her. The both of them have talked for a while now and Jiraiya had just finished explaining what his plans for Naruto were when he got back. The blonde medical ninja sat back in her seat before letting out a tired sigh and then responded to his request.
"I'll admit Jiraiya, I can see why you wanted to come to me about this." she told him. "When you said this was important, you certainly weren't kidding at all." she added.
"So, have you come to a decision?" he asked his old friend and teammate.
"I hope that you'll understand why I'm a little hesitant in granting you your request Jiraiya." she replied. "I know where you're coming from and Naruto does have the right to know the truth, but telling him now puts not only his life in danger, but the village as a whole." she explained.
"Life is full of risks Tsunade." he retorted. "Not that I don't see your point at all and I understand your position as Hokage is to only ensure the safety and security of the village, but things are much different now. Naruto's much older and a lot more stronger than he used to be." he explained. "Lastly, it's been nearly two decades since Minato and Kushina had died and I'm not even sure if his Father's enemies are still looking for revenge anymore." he added.
"That is true." she replied, crossing her arms and really thinking about it. "Naruto's a lot stronger now and has shown this during his last battle with the Akatsuki in the Land of Wind. If he was strong enough to take on S Ranked Criminals like the ones within that dangerous organization, then maybe he really is ready to know the truth." she figured.
"Also, he's almost sixteen years old." Jiraiya added. "The Kid's a married man now and has been through a lot his whole life. If things were different, I would have told him who his Parents were shortly after he graduated the academy. The only reasons I haven't told him yet is because I needed him to focus on getting stronger and to know what was at stake if he was to go up against either the Akatsuki or Orochimaru. Now that he has an understanding of these, I think he's ready. More importantly, he's married into a powerful Clan in Konoha and I think he deserves to know about his own Heritage and where he comes from." he finished.
"Yes, I see your point." replied Tsunade. "With the Inuzukas willing to accept him and his own progress as a capable Ninja, I think it's time to tell him too." she agreed.
"Then you'll do it?" he asked. "You'll tell him everything?" he asked.
"When he gets back from his mission to the Land of Seas, we'll tell him together." she replied. "I think it's best if both of us explain it to him since he places a great deal of trust in the both of us." she added.
"I see your point." he agreed. "And maybe, we can talk about having Kakashi present as well. He was Minato's student and friend for a very long time just as Naruto is his now. He is also someone who Naruto trusts and looks up to, not just me." he explained to her.
"Yes, I like that." she replied. "But what's the best way to approach it?" she asked him. "You know how excited he can get and this could be a lot to take in all at once." she told him.
"Well, maybe we'll warn him first of the dangers of knowing the truth before we tell him." he answered. "Naruto may be shocked when he hears this and he may have a hard time fully accepting it. This way, he'll understand why the truth was kept from him." he suggested.
"Then when he gets back, we'll all meet at Konoha General." she decided. "It's mandatory for all Village Shinobi to receive check ups at the Hospital after they return from a mission. You, Kakashi and I will tell him then when he arrives for his examination." she told him to which he nodded his head.
"Then the time has come for Naruto to finally know who his Parents are and what happened." replied Jiraiya. "It's time for Naruto to know that his Father was the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha." he stated.
[Anko's Apartment]
Hana would arrive later that night at Anko's with her boys and once Anko answered the door, she invited the Inuzuka heiress into her apartment so they could relax and enjoy one another's company. One of the nice things about Anko's place was she didn't mind if the dogs wanted to either play around on the floor or sit on the couches anywhere because she did a weekly cleaning every Saturday. Hana took a seat on the couch with all of her boys sitting with her, leaving one last seat for Anko. The snake Jonin walked up and handed Hana her bowl of sweet red bean soup and a plate of dango before sitting down with her friend. She was also kind enough to grab some treats for the boys. Big and thick animal bones for them to chew on.
She then looked over to her friend with her perverted smirk. "Which do you wanna watch first?" she asked. "Raising Ryan's Privates", "Schindler's Fist" or "Glad-He-Ate-Her"?" she listed off.
"Why do you have to always grab the ones with the most disturbing titles?" she asked her.
"Because creativity within the name means it could be a decent story and some of the hottest sex scenes." she answered. "So which one first?" she asked again.
Hana pointed over to the first one. She hadn't scene a good gay porno in a while and figured it be a great way to kick off the evening. While Hana and Anko watched the movie, the Jonin would look over to her friend with another smirk. "Y'know, we should invite Naruto over one night." she suggested. "He could learn a thing or two about sex just from watching a few of these." she told her.
"Maybe." replied Hana after taking a sip of her soup. "Problem is Naruto's not very comfortable with pornographic material like movies or novels. It's one of the reasons why he and Jiraiya had such frequent arguments during his training trip. Naruto wanted Jiraiya to focus more on his progress in training as a Ninja, while Jiraiya wanted him to focus on peaking at girls while they bath." she told her.
"Do you think Naruto was a peeper?" she asked with a brow raised.
"Well, I don't really know." she answered. "Truth be told, I never really thought about that much. I don't really believe that he's the sort to peep outside women's locker rooms or the ladies side of the hot springs. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised given that he was a prepubescent boy during his travels with a notorious pervert so it would only make sense if Naruto was peeking at women when they were naked." she told her.
"And that really doesn't bother you?" she asked her.
"Why should it?" she replied. "I've been watching porno with you since I was sixteen. So far, you've made me watch everything from fantasy and role playing sex scenes right down to pissing orgies. I'd only be upset now if Naruto was cheating on me and there's no way that he would. He loves me and I love him and that's all there is to it." she finished, turning back to the screen.
"Well, I'm happy for ya." said Anko. "Now all I need is someone who's willing to put up with me." she said, turning back to the screen as well.
"I'm sure you'll find the right guy." said Hana. "There's someone out there for everyone and that includes you." she smiled.
[Days Later]
Naruto would travel with Neji, Tenten and Lee for several days, heading southward till they'd crass the borders through the Land of Tea where'd they'd take a ship and set sail for the two day voyage and reach the Land of Seas. Naruto remembered his trip here years ago with Sakura and Sasuke and seeing the old harbors to the island nation made him feel a little nostalgic. Still, he got off the boat and would follow Neji, Tenten and Lee to where they were to then stay at their next inn. It was the dead of night and they'd have to travel a few more hours before they'd reach the palace of the Sea Daimyo. Neji personally tutored Naruto on how to present himself properly to someone as high as a Feudal Lord. It was an annoying process for the young Hyuuga, but he manged.
Meanwhile, Hana was over visiting her mother's house. The both of them were having a nice evening together, chatting and having a nice hot cup of tea while they talked. Not long after they started talking however, there did come a knock at the door. Tsume smiled when she caught the scent of who it was and got up to answer. Hana then saw her little brother enter the room with his hands in his pockets and by the look on his face, a lot on his mind too.
"Kiba." said Hana, seeing her younger sibling for the first time in days.
"Hey Sis." he greeted back.
Kuromaru got up to greet Akamaru and soon, he left with all his grandsons following so they could talk while leaving Tsume alone with her own children. Soon, it was Tsume, Hana and Kiba alone in the living room.
"We're having Tea right now Kiba." said Tsume, breaking the silence. "Would you like me to make you a cup? Water on the stove is still nice and hot." she told him.
"That would be great thanks." he replied, followed by Tsume nodding and leaving the room to her two children.
Kiba was quiet at first and then looked back up to meet his concerned sister's eyes. "Kiba?" she asked.
"Hana, can we talk please?" he asked her.
Hana smiled and got up. "Of course we can." she answered. "What did you want to talk about?" she asked him.
"About what happened days ago with you and Naruto." he replied. "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for the way I acted." he confessed, looking off to he side.
Hana smiled again and brought her arms around her little brother to hug him and was delighted when he hugged her back. "Apology accepted." she told him before leading him over to the couch she was sitting so he could sit with her. "Like I said before, Naruto and I are both sorry for what you saw when you came home. We had hoped for a more...appropriate time to tell you the news. We simply didn't expect you to come home as soon as you did." she explained.
"It's just...I never expected something like this to happen between you and one of my friends." he told her. "Naruto's a nice guy, but even I never would have thought of him as the sort you'd wanna settle down with." he explained to her.
"Then I'm guessing that you've got a lot of questions you'd like to ask me." she replied.
Kiba nodded and sighed before asking "How and when did this all happen?"
