So I got a request from a reader to make a one shot of Naegi and Minato and I couldn't get this out of my head so I decided to add this to the story. I'll be making one of Shikaku too if you want. Sorry it's not a chapter but it's coming!
THIS CHAPTER DOES NOT MEAN THAT NAEGI IS PERMANENTLY PAIRED WITH MINATO. IT IS A ONE SHOT!
But guys…..134 reviews, 219 Favorites, and 305 Followers! You guys have made me so happy and special as an author! THANK YOU!
And a big shout out to angrypixels for being the 130th reviewer! Yay! I would of put down the one reaching a hundred reviews but so many guest reviews make it hard to figure out who is it.
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. I DO OWN MY OCS.
Minato Namikaze
He was curious.
She sat a few rows in front of him, facing the front of the class. Her thick black hair was tied back, a few stray strands framing her face. He couldn't remember what color her eyes were-ah, wait. They were green, a forest green. Like the green leaves that grew on saplings.
Sapling.
It was even her name.
Naegi. Naegi Sarutobi.
The Hokage's daughter. What a peculiar little girl.
She loved to talk to the Inuzuka girl, giggling and whispering when they thought Kazou Sensei wasn't looking. Unfortunately for them, Kazou Sensei was always listening.
He flinched at the sound of chalk smacking against their foreheads, their yelps sounding throughout the classroom.
"Oi! Sarutobi! Inuzuka! Pay attention!"
"..Hai, Sensei," came the weak reply from Naegi while Tsume grumbled.
Minato chuckled softly.
Poor thing.
His blue eyes flicked over to the Nara heir, Shikaku. He and Naegi often tormented each other by poking each other or Naegi trying to draw on his forehead when he was asleep. They seemed close, but considering that they were Clan heirs, it was to be expected. The chance of an arranged married between the two clans was possible. It made him rather feel a slight pity for the dark haired girl. As the Clan heir, she had such restrictions and duties on her shoulders; it made Minato glad his parents did not belong to a Clan.
When he looked over back to Naegi, he was startled to see her fierce green eyes staring at him. She was frowning at him, her long dark lashes dusting her cheeks.
He gave her a small smile, softening his features. They had been classmates for about a few months or so and they have never spoken. He wanted to know what made her tick, what made her life with such life and delight. She always seemed to smile and laugh. Her giggles were infectious, making her cheeks glow with some unknown light and her eyes shone with some mysterious light. It made him wonder, that despite her laughter so young and light, her eyes seemed so old and tired.
She made a face at his smile before turning back to the front, not seeing his smile drop to a slight frown. Why? Why did she not smile that smile she gave Shikaku or Tsume? The silly, playful grins she gave the one Hyuga twin?
Was it because he was not part of a Clan?
She seemed so friendly to the others in their class so why just him? The other students liked him, the girls seemed to giggle and blush if he smiled in their direction, so why just her?
A slight nudge from the boy next to him made him look over. "Getting the cold shoulder from Sarutobi, eh?"
Minato frowned. "Yes. Why does she act so differently to me when she's nice to others?"
The boy shrugged. "Who knows? She's a girl. They're weird. Maybe she has a likes you and doesn't want to admit it?"
Minato looked over a Naegi again, watching her giggle at what Tsume whispered to her.
He knew he wanted to become Hokage.
But for now…
He wanted to make her smile.
….TA-DA~!
