Chapter 14: Crumbling Secrets
The warm, pleasant sunlight shone through the Curtains and lit the room, Naruto opened his eyes, expecting to be alone in the room 'like usual' Hinata's face was only 4 inches from his own, she was wide awake and looking deep into his eyes "How long have you been watching me ?" he laughed, she giggled "I have been watching you sleep for the last 15 minutes to be truthful Naruto, im sorry but you are just too cute when you sleep" She pecked him on the cheek and got up, he pulled her hand and embraced her in a warm morning kiss, she smiled and poked his chest "if you don't let me get up I wont be able to make breakfast for us ... and you do love my cooking don't you" Naruto burst out of the room and sat at the kitchen table before she realized he was gone "Is this answer enough ?" Hinata nodded and felt her heart beat harder than usual 'I really do love this man'
Breakfast consisted of Bacon, Eggs and orange Juice, Naruto leaned back and held in a burp "That was amazing Hinata ! just like you" She blushed and moved in for a kiss when she noticed someone outside the window, She jerked back and pretended she was flexing her back. Naruto turned to the Window and saw Sakura, Ino and TenTen staring in. Naruto opened the door with an annoyed look " Naruto is not here right now Baka, this automated Shadow clone with disperse in 5 ... 4...3...2..." Sakura's eyes began to flame and smoke began to plume out her ears "AUTOMATED SHADOW CLONE MY ASS ! CHAAA !" she powered a fist with pure chakra and collided with Naruto and sent him spinning backwards into the room, she composed when she saw Hinata "Oh ... hey Hinata, beautiful morning aint it ?" Ino and TenTen entered and sat next to Hinata, in the background Sakura was kicking Naruto's unconscious body.
"you forgot we were coming Hinata ?" Hinata shook her head "No i remembered ... Naruto on the other hand" she turned to Naruto's perished body and the gleaming smile of Sakura as she planted her foot on his chest as if she conquered a mountain. "Naruto is all healed up and no sign of scars" Hinata nodded 'except the scars you gave him Sakura ...' "Okay il go scan his mind and we can leave you guys" Hinata's eyes widened "No Ino WAIT ! Don't" Ino turned to Hinata, Hinata did not seemed sad or hiding something dangerous "Why not ? he didn't do anything did he ?" Hinata's eyes shifted back and forth and she began playing with her index fingers "No reason ... i mean there's nothing wrong"
Hinata was nervous about what people would say about their relationship, she would tell them but she did know when.
Ino and Tenten Laughed "Well in that case, okay ill do it now" Hinata jumped up to stop Ino from pulling the Mind Transfer Hand sign, but it was too late, Ino entered Naruto's mind. After 5 minutes of silence, Ino dropped the Hand-sign and just Stared at Hinata with a smile larger than a watermelon slice. Sakura kept poking Ino "What ! what is it ! tell me dammit !" Ino looked at Hinata with question in her eyes, Hinata signed and nodded "UUH ... Fine tell them" Ino stood up and embraced Tenten and Sakura in a group hug and screamed "NARUTO AND HINATA GO OUT AND THEY HAVE KISSED ... LIKE SO MUCH OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" the group began to scream and jump up and down and Hinata just sat there staring in surprise "you guys don't mind ?" They looked at her with Wide bright smiles "Are you kidding we are so happy for you ! its about time he realized"
They all ran to Naruto and gestured to Hinata "sorry, he is kinda unconscious ... Maybe your kiss can bring him back to life ?" Sakura laughed evilly, Hinata wanted to surprise them so she walked forward leaned down and Kissed Naruto deeply slipping a little bit of tongue in, just to screw with their heads. They all stood there with their mouths open to the floor and their eyes twitching. Naruto woke up and scratched his head "Where the ... how the ... What !?" the girls (apart from Hinata) Jumped up and down screaming again, they ran to Naruto and hugged him to death.
Hinata and Naruto walked hand in hand up towards Tsunade's office, Sakura and Ino went to go tell everyone while Tenten went to go tell Neji personally, knowing she could calm him down if need be. Hinata knew everyone would find out by the time the day ends so they did not mind showing everyone by holding hands. They knocked and Tsunade called "Come in" they entered and sat on the chairs in front of her desk "Soo .. whats up love birds" she said grinning widely "Hang on a minute, you called us Granny-Tsunade !" Tsunade shot a hard look at Naruto "Indeed i did, and if you call me Granny-Tsunade again ill will disable your ability to have kids ... if you catch my drift" Naruto gulped hard and silenced "Naruto ... i invited you so that i can tell you the results to a test" Naruto groaned "NNOOOoo i thought all my tests were over guuuh please don't send me back to Iruka Sensei" Tsunade shook her head "Not that kind of test ... A paternal test Naruto ... We know who your Father and Mother are" Naruto looked blankly and a tear rolled down his cheek "Really ? ... i can know now ?"
Tsunade nodded "The Third Hokage wanted to keep it all a secret to protect you, i think you are far stronger than any of us so i doubt it matters, and when we tell the people, you will be treated with respect" Naruto stood up "Who are they !" Tsunade gestured to Naruto "woooah now sit sit, lets start with your mother her name was Kushina Uzumaki, she was a strong witted, feisty red haired women" Naruto stood shocked "The red haired women was ..." Tsunade nodded "Yes, your mother, you possess the yellow hair of your father however" Naruto looked up "And he was ?" tears of hapiness and confusion rolled down his cheeks "Your father was Minato Namikaze ... The forth Hokage who saved and sealed the Kyuubi inside you ... You are his son" Naruto stared blankly then he lowered his head into his hands "My own father gave me this curse ... this darkness" his sobs increased "HE DID THIS ... Why ?" Tsunade placed her hand on his shoulder "I can only imagine it was because he believed you were strong and would grow to control the Kyuubi and save the world with its power, he put both his and Kushina's love and trust into you"
"Are you okay Naruto ?" Hinata kissed his cheek and rubbed his back" Naruto nodded and squeezed her hand, he controlled his tears and raised a little smile at the both of them " I should be fine, i am the son of the Hokage after all ... and some day i will take my place as Hokage and continue my fathers dream"
