Ok so lets have a recap Hinata confessed her feelings to Naruto, they went out he told her he loved her, they got a mission to the caves, fought the Akatsuki got the priest back and Naruto is about to ask a question to him.
I am sorry about not being able to finish the story sooner but my brother was home all of Friday and he isn't the nicest person he didn't let me use it at all and the weekend is always busy time for me so I couldn't do it then either well I am back now so I will finish this story. Some of you had concerns about why Kyuubi apologized for Hinata's mother that will be explained in this chapter… if it doesn't follow the real anime/manga story tell me so that way I can fix this story I want to make this story as believable as possible.
The Cherry Blossom Tree scene takes place four months after Hinata confessed, it took awhile to get back to Pai since they were on high alert and they were sort of injured.
I don't own Naruto I don't own Naruto I don't own Naruto -sigh-
Naruto Vs. Hiashi
" Umm Mark can I ask you something" said Naruto scratching the back of his neck trying to not make it a big deal of course Mark other hand had pretty good idea why Naruto was acting so nervous. " Sure young one ask what you wish" said Mark making sure not to sound unsurprised by what Naruto would say next. " Why do they call you guys priests?" said Naruto quickly maybe too quickly, he was avoiding the real question was he ready or just embraced.
Mark tripped over his footing as he heard such a dumb question. " Ouch that must of hurt" said Naruto picking him off the ground. " Now I know that's not your real question please state what you want I will not judge" Mark said grabbing Naruto's hand and dusting off his robes. " Ugh you got me… I want to see if theirs anyway that you would marry me to Hinata Hyuuga" said Naruto sort of whispering that last little detail to Mark. " Of course I can Naruto I be happy to do so but first don't you need to buy a ring and propose to her ? Oh and then get the consent of her family of course" Mark said stating the facts to Naruto.
" Well we are close to the village of Pai were theirs a bunch of markets I can buy her a good ring their but I need you to stall her for awhile ok Mark" said Naruto running up to the town still a few feet behind Hinata. " Ok Naruto" said Mark yelling at him and running up to Hinata. " Hey their Mark I hope Naruto didn't scare you too much with all his questions" said Hinata still oblivious of what exactly the men were talking about. " … Yeah …I guess you can say that so Hinata I like you to walk with me to a store in the Pai village will you come" said Mark staying as calm as he could possibly be while trying to trick Hinata. " I love to, does Naruto know?" Hinata said looking at Mark as he nodded to her question.
Meanwhile in the village Naruto spots a small jewelry store with lots of rings of all sizes and all shapes he decided to go with something that would match Hinata's wonderful white eyes they weren't just white though they had all sorts of small colors on them. Then he saw it was a gray ring that as you put it in the sun it would lightly reflect colors from the surrounding area it was perfect for her. " Hey lady how much for this ring I would like it for someone very special" said Naruto pointing it out to the old women at the shop.
" Ah sonny you have a really good eye that ring is our finest one in the whole shop I say about 90 coins" she said picking out a light violet ring box to put the ring in. Naruto took out his frog pouch and paid 90 coins all he had left was 1 coin he sighed at his current coin loss. He grabbed the small box and ran off to find Mark and Hinata who were standing over an herbal shop and Mark buying a couple of cinnamon smelling herbs from the vender. Naruto looked at the map and saw a small Cherry blossom tree up ahead next to the Sai village he went to Mark to see if he could get him to give them some privacy for about an hour or two.
"Hey Mark is it ok if I go propose to Hinata at the edge of Sai village do you know how to get their?" Naruto said trying to not get nervous at what he was about to do. "Yeah Naruto I do and yeah sure I will give both of you plenty of time to talk to each other alone" Mark said with a big grin in his face he really liked seeing other people happy together, that was the reason he became a priest. "Alright thank you Mark I will make sure to ask for Hiashi's approval when we get to Konoha" Naruto said eager but still very nervous.
Naruto walked up to Hinata and hold her hand as they neared the old Cherry blossom tree which was in full bloom as they got closer Naruto started to sweat a bit but not enough for Hinata to be concerned about. He got to the stone next to the tree and sat down on it with Hinata on his side, the wind blew softly threw her hair bringing the smell of the cherry blossoms into his nose making this moment even more memorable to him. " Hinata I known you since I was eleven and we gone out for about four months, I love you with every ounce of my heart" Naruto said as he bent down on the ground grabbed the box opened it showing the ring to her. " Will you marry me Hinata Hyuuga?" Naruto said holding her left hand waiting for the answer of his love.
She couldn't believe he was actually right their on his knee asking for her hand in marriage this is what she dreamt of every night how one day Naruto would be hers and only hers. She started to cry but not sad tears, these tears were of pure joy and love she felt for Naruto. " Yes Naruto I would love to marry you" Hinata said grabbing the ring and putting it on her finger then jumping into Naruto's arms holding him softly and kissing his lips softly but eagerly. They spent a hour just holding each other not moving an inch, not wanting to waste this other perfect moment together.
Mark soon arrived looking at the two from a distance and slowly having a smile on his face to see two people that love each other dearly be happy. " Hey you two are you guys ready to go home" said Mark coming up to them. "Yes Mark we and my fiancé are" said Hinata looking over Naruto who had his silly fox grin on his face. As they neared the gate Mark waved of towards the Hokage's office to report the mission giving time to Naruto and Hinata to talk to her father.
Naruto saw the Hyuuga house hold closing up with two guards at each side of the gate to the entrance. "Hinata Hyuuga your back from your mission… what is Naruto doing with you madam?" said one of the guards looking at Naruto with that stare that he usually got when ever he was around the Hyuugas . " Me and Naruto came to speak to my father please let us through" Hinata said staring at the guard back, Naruto just stood their confused about the whole thing. In her house Neji came up and saw them, " oh boy… this isn't going to end well" Neji said kind of feeling bad for both of them he learned to like the Uzumaki boy and his own cousin as well.
" Its ok Neji we will be fine" said Hinata coming up to her fathers office she gave two knocks at his door. "Come in" said Hiashi with a firm tone. " Hey sir I came to ask you for your permission to marry your daughter I promise to make her happy and be loyal to her" Naruto said not wasting Hiashi's time. " I can not allow that you will not merry my daughter!" Said Hiashi with a glean in his eye as if he was about to kill Naruto.
" Father I know he has the Kyuubi in him but Naruto is harmless he can control him now" said Hinata with her voice a bit shaky but not stuttering. " You don't understand Hinata that beast killed you mother!!" Said Hiashi with pain in his voice. Hinata remembered back in the caves when Kyuubi apologized for her mother's death at that time she didn't understand why.
Of course she wasn't going to ask him why she didn't want the Kyuubi to dislike her for being nosy. " Father that was the Kyuubi not Naruto, you cant blame him for something he didn't do, just because they share the same body doesn't mean that he is responsible for what The Kyuubi did before he was sealed into Naruto" Hinata said slowly turning to Naruto who was having a very odd staring contest with her father.
Hiashi turned away from Naruto in defeat he was a harsh ruler for his clan but as a father all he wanted was his daughter's happiness. " As the head of the Hyuuga clan I cannot agree with this… but as your father I will allow you to marry the Uzumaki kid but you cannot live in the Hyuuga clan any longer you are vanished from the area for a week and you can no longer live here but I will buy you a house my daughter" Hiashi said smiling at Naruto and Hinata. Back at the Konoha temple Mark prepares.
