Now on with the story.
Naruto was just stepping out of the tower, getting ready to head towards the location he was planning to meet with the guys until he heard someone running towards him. He turned around to see an out of breath Shizune running towards him. "You've been a jonin for how many years now and still don't know how to use the body flicker technique?" He asked.
"Oh shut up, you're not the one who has to be the one to tell the Hokage to act her age." Shizune said between breathes.
"No, but I do have to be the one to save one un-encourage able perverts ass whenever he gets busted." Naruto countered.
"Point taken." Shizune said, fully recovered, "Anyway, the Hokage just remembered that she has something for you that were supposed to be crucially important."
Naruto gave a small sigh, "Too bad that seal can't make her mind match how old she is trying to look." He said, just as the two started to walk back into the tower.
"And her maturity." Shizune said.
"You're one to talk." Naruto countered, "Considering how you got Ibiki to show up to work in a big dress w/makeup, I never thought I could hear so much laughter coming from the TI headquarters."
"What, I thought just maybe they might freak out faster if he dressed like a woman." Shizune said, despite the embarrassing blush that was on her face, "You know, one of those scar them for life deals."
"Yeah, but how were supposed to know that Anko would just so happen to have a camera with her." Naruto said.
Meanwhile, around the same time Naruto was called back, down at the barbeque pit, there sat the all the guys Naruto asked to join him for a guy's day out. This consisted of Sasuke, Kakashi, Iruka, Shikamaru, Shikaku, Might Guy, Rock Lee, Choji, Choza, a mangled looking Kiba, Shino, Shibi, Inochi, Neji, Ibiki, and surprisingly enough, Hiashi himself.
Konohamaru and Udon are there as well, considered the plebes of the group, this was Naruto's idea of giving them the chance to enjoy the chance to hang out with the guys, or any other friends while they can, especially if they end up in a relationship. Or in Konohamaru's case, to enjoy his freedom while he can since he now falls under the CRA now.
"So tell me Hiashi, why the sudden change in personality?" Inochi asked his friend and fellow clan head, "As I recall, every time we asked, we get shot down, even when Minato became Hokage."
Hiashi gave a small sigh, "Mainly because I didn't trust my council enough to leave them alone with my wife and firstborn because they were just as conniving as the main." He said, "Especially when Minato died and it became known what was done to Naruto, the council decided to make a move to compete with the Uchiha clan to become the most powerful."
"Don't remind me." Sasuke said, "Those were some of the worse times of my life, because my father was too busy turning me into another prodigy, like Itachi. In some ways, the only people to treat me kindly enough to let me have a childhood were my mother and Itachi."
"Yeah, when Minato-sensei sacrificed his life that day, everything went downhill." Kakashi said, while still reading his prized book, "Especially when the council got out of control."
A loud "SAY WHAT!" Could be heard throughout most of Fire Country, and everybody knew right away who that voice belonged to.
This was when Jiraiya walked in, "Sounds like the brat found out about his latest brides waiting for him outside of the village." He said, before joining the others. When he noticed Hiashi there, he crossed his fingers and checked to see if it was a genjutsu. When proven that the man was real, "Oh, so it isn't my eyes playing tricks on me."
This caused most of the group to laugh at that, with Hiashi looking more embarrassed. Deciding to help his uncle out, "What do you mean by outside of the village, Lord Jiraiya?" He asked.
"Well, I guess some girls were wanting to move here and get to become a part of our young stud's pack of wives and their countries decided to make it as beneficial to them by making it into a somewhat political marriage so to speak." Jiraiya explained.
"This reminds me that while I was digging through my personal archives, and found something that I just about forgot about." Hiashi started to say until a loud . . .
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? GET ME NEUTERED?!"
Hiashi continued on, "Anyway, when Minato and I found out the gender of our children, we agreed upon an arranged marriage between Naruto and Hinata."
"I bet that would give the council a heart attack." Neji said.
"Oh it did." Hiashi said, "Although looking at it brought back both happy and painful memories."
While getting confused looks from most of the men, Jiraiya and Kakashi knew right away what he was talking about, "Kushina wasn't too pleased about that, was she?" Jiraiya said, knowing about his friend's temper.
"Yes, one minute I was about to explaining it, the next thing I know, the main door explodes and there she was, clubbing everything in sight." Hiashi said.
"Wait, you mean she clubbed you and Minato for making an arrange marriage?" Shikaku asked.
"Actually, she was using Minato as a club." Hiashi said, causing every male there to go wide eyed at that, "That is one of the reasons why Minato showed up to the office looking like he got struck down by a harsh hurricane."
Jiraiya gave a weak chuckle, "Yeah, that's Kushina alright." He said, "One time, while she was training with Tsunade, when her weapon was knocked out of her hand, Kushina threw the first thing she could get her hand on and Minato just happened to be within her reached."
This got the group to shiver at that, "I was there when it happened." Kakashi said, "It became even more painful when Lady Tsunade countered with one of her kicks and sent him flying over the forest, all the way to the top of the Hokage Monument."
Now their eyes were just about to explode from their sockets, yet they decided to end it there. "So any idea how much longer until Naruto shows up." Shino asked, still finding it hard to believe that a man who can take out entire armies on his own, yet can be pounded to a bloody pulp by his own spouse.
"He just came in the door." Was the reply from the mentioned person, as he took a seat between Sasuke and Kakashi, "Right now hoping I can survive the night."
"Why, because somebody threw in some new future wives your way without asking you?" Kiba asked, wanting to get somewhat even for the beating he got yesterday.
"No, it's what do I tell my current fiancés and getting to walk away 100% male." Naruto said, "Especially considering what each one can do, especially when one of them is ANBU."
While every male shivered/paled at that thought, "Anyway, how about we order up some food." Choza said, diverting their attention from such scary thoughts.
Over at the dango stand, four friends were having a little girl talk, which the main topic was on relationships. Kurenai started first by talking about Iruka and how good he is with little Asuma. She even started doing the whole mother routine by showing them pictures, getting awe's from Hana and Yugao, while Anko gave a mental one to help maintain her image.
When the pictures were being put away, "So when I've seen you two come in, you were pretty much glowing and limping, I take it you both had a wild night last night?" Anko asked.
The pair blushed from head to toe. Even though they were used to Anko's forwardness, yet this time, they knew what were happened when they explained it to her.
Back with the guys, who were just sitting and laughing, until Naruto felt a strong shiver go down his spine. Shikamaru, being the observant genius that he is, "Something wrong, Naruto?" He asked, getting everybody's attention.
Naruto shook his head to help clear his thoughts, "I think I just gained another fiancé." He said, while taking a bite out of his brisket.
"What makes you say that, Naruto?" Lee asked.
A loud "YOU'RE KIDDING! WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!" was heard.
When everybody with in a 20-mile radius went wide eye at that, especially those who recognize that voice, "Does that answer your question?" Naruto shot back.
Here is the latest update. The next chapter will focus on the girls and their time in the village, as well as Naruto's departure, which I'm still working out the details. Sorry for the long wait, and right now I should be back in the routine again. Read and Review.
