"Sa-Say that again granny?" Naruto said. "Okay Naruto. I am getting old, I need a succesor, and you're best fit. Once I retire, you will be the Sixth Hokage. I will be retiring in two weeks, so get ready for your anoguration." Tsunade said, looking straight at Naruto. Once Naruto registered what Tsunade had just said, his eyes went wide. All he could to was helplessly stutter and breathe. After about two minutes of this, his eyes went up into his skull, and he fainted, hitting the ground with a soft thump.
Tsunade sighed and picked up the prone boy. "I'm gonna take him home and inform his family. While I'm gone, Hawk, you do my paper work!" She said, sticking her tounge out and vanishing, smoke and dust trailing behind her. Hawk sweat dropped and mumbled something about Tsunade just wanting to get out of her duties before reluctantly picking up a stack of paper.
As Tsunade walked through town, still carrying an unconcious Naruto, she heard a man yell, "I hope this means the demon brat is dead!". She turned to see who it was, and she was overwhelmed with rage. The man who said it was non-other then the Hyuuga elder who came before her no more then a week ago, complaining about Naruto and Hinata's relationship. Everyone around who heard, stared at the elder with malice and a killing intent. The villagers had come to love Naruto, except for a select few.
"Now now Tsunade-sama, why don't you let me carry his body to the grave?" He said in a mocking tone. Tsunade's rage was indescribable. She calmly gave Naruto to a nearby villager and faced the elder. She cracked her neck and gave an evil grin to the elder. For each calm step she took towards the elder, he took one shaky step back. He was about to turn and run when he hit something behind him. He turned around to see an enraged Hiashi Hyuuga.
Hiashi grabbed the back of the elder's collor and held him in place, waiting patiently for Tsunade who was steadily advancing on the terrified Hyuuga. She smilled warmly at Hiashi and said, "Thank you Hiashi." Hiashi returned the smile and said, "Anything for a dear friend and the Hokage." The elder blinked and that was that. Tsunade was apon him, looking down at his terrified figure. "Is that any way to treat the Hokage-to-be?" She said. Everyone's eyes widened when she said this, including Hiashi's.
"Tsunade-sama, do you mean the demon bra-" The elder started but was unable to finish. He was cut off by an over powered uppercut to the chin, sending him flying to the other side of the village. "No, the demon is not going to be hokage." She said, earning suprised and hateful glares from the villagers. "Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki is to be Hokage!" She yelled after him. At this cheers erupted from the whole village, realizing what Tsunade had said. The cries of approval and cheering were defening, causing Naruto to stir slightly.
Hiashi grinned and nodded to Tsunade, who despite herself, couldn't help but let a tear role down her cheek. She quickly wipped it away and went to retrieve Naruto. She carried him the rest of the way, followed by Hiashi. When they reached the Namikaze estate, they were greeted by Sasuke Uchiha who opened the door. After seeing Naruto in Tsunade's arms, he let them inside and led them to the living room. Kushina walked in and saw the prone figure of her son laying on the couch. "What happened to Naruto!?" She cried, running over to the blonde.
"Don't worry Kushina, he's fine. He just fainted after hearing some news." Tsunade said, a grin creaping across her face. Kushina looked at her questioningly. "What would this news be?" She asked. Tsunade's grin widened and she said, "In two weeks, the brat's gonna be Hokage." They heard a smash behind them and they all turned. Minato and Sasuke were standing there wide eyed and jaws to the floor. The smash was made by a water glass dropped by Minato.
"M-my son... is gonna be... Hokage?" Minato stuttered out. "No way... he finally did it..." Sasuke said, picking his jaw up off the floor. Minato, however, was still stunned. Then, without warning, he fainted in the exact same way Naruto did. Kushina sighed and said, "Like father like son." The room erupted with laughter. Even Hiashi managed a slight chuckle.
Tsunade was the first to recover and she said, "So who's gonna have the honor of telling Naruto's friends?" Sasuke stood and said, "I think I should do that." Tsunade nodded in understanding. "Very well, try and make it quick." She said. Sasuke nodded and left the room, first heading to the Hyuuga compound.
Sasuke arrived at the Hyuuga compound and knocked on the stone-clad doors. Two gaurds appeared before him. "State your buisness!" The one on the right said. "I seek an audience with Hinata Hyuuga regarding Naruto Namikaze." Sasuke said calmly, though he was aggitated by the gaurd's rudeness. "Follow me sir." The gaurd on the left said, obviously the nicer one. Sasuke pointed to the gaurd on the left and mouthed, "I like him better." to the rude gaurd, smirking when he saw the gaurd's eye twitch.
The nice gaurd motioned for Sasuke to follow. "My name is Ko, Hinata-sama's personal bodygaurd." he said as they approached the main-branch house. Ko knocked on the door and it was answered by Hanabi (Hinata's little sister). Ko bowed and said, "Good evening Hanabi-sama. Sasuke Uchiha wishes to speek to your sister about Naruto-san. Is she here?" Hanabi nodded and led them to Hinata's room. Ko bowed to Sasuke and left his company.
Sasuke knocked on Hinata's door and a muffled, "Come in." could be heard from the other side. He slid open the door and saw Hinata sitting at a dest, witting something into a scroll. She turned and said, "Oh, Sasuke! H-hello, did you need something?" Sasuke shook his head. "No, I need to tell you something that you should know about Naruto." He said. "W-what!? D-did something happen to Naruto-kun!?" Hinata asked, concerned for her boyfriend. Sasuke grinned and said, "Yes something did happen. but nothing bad. Naruto just got some news. He's gonna be the Sixth Hokage."
Hinata's eyes widened asshe sat back down, shocked. Then, her face changed and a look of pure happiness appeared. "He acheived his dream..." She said, smilling and looking at the ground. Sasuke smilled warmly and said, "Yeah... he has." She got up and said, "Thank you Sasuke, I'm going to go see Naruto-kun now. I can't wait to see the happy look on his face..." She said. Sasuke nodded in understanding and said, "Okay. I'm gonna tell everyone else. Where's Neji? I'm gonna tell him next."
Hinata's smile was wipped of her face and she looked down at the floor. "Umm... Neji-nii-san... he... died.. in the war..." She said, obvious tears rolling down her cheeks. "Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't realize. You have my condolances." Sasuke said, bowing low. "It's okay, Sasuke. He died protecting the shinobi world, and that didn't go unnoticed." Hinata said, her smile returning. "But that's in the past. We have to worry about the present." She continued. "Yeah and with Naruto as Hokage I well being..." He muttered. Hinata giggled and said, "You and I know he'll be an amazing Hokage. Now, I'm off to go see him. Goodbye Sasuke." She waved goodbye and they went their seperate ways.
Sasuke was walking down the street as he heard, "Shut up Chouji! And stop eating already!" He turned to see three shinobi. The girl had long blonde hair and a slim body. She was dressed in a purple outfit that was a little revealing. One of the boys had black hair put up in a ponytail, a lazy and annoyed look in his eyes. He was dressed in Kanoha's jounin uniform and black pants. The last person had long brown spiky hair, reaching down his back. He had a large build and was wearing Akimichi red battle armor. "Hey guys." Sasuke said approaching the group. They immediately got into their battle stances when they say him.
"What are you doing here Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked. "Nobody told you? I'm back in Kanoha for good." Sasuke said nonchalauntly. Ino leapt at Sasuke and gripped him in a bone-crushing hug. "Yay! Naruto did it!" She said. "Y-yeah... now get off." Sasuke said, prying the fangirl off of him. "Oh, and speaking of Naruto, I have some news about him to tell everyone. He's to be the Sixth Hokage." He continued. It suddenly got earily quiet, until of corse Chouji broke it. "Alright! He did it!" He yelled, hurting everyones ears.
"Yeah, he did. He deserves it too." Shikamaru said, smilling up at the sunset sky. Ino giggled and nodded at Chouji's enthusiasm. "Well, I've got a few more people to tell, so see you guys around." Sasuke said, turning and waving goodbye.
"Guy-sensei!" A ninja in a tight green jumpsuit and bowl cut black hair yelled. "Yes my youthfull apprentice Lee?" A ninja in a tight green jumsuit and bowl cut black hair siad (wait... deja vu). "Did you hear about Naruto-kun!?" Lee said, beaming up at his teacher. "What about Naruto!?" Guy said, matching Lee's excitement. "He's gonna be Hokage!" Lee said, throwing his arms in the air. "Oh this is the most youthfull thing I have ever heard! We shall go congradulate him! We will sprint o our hands all the way to his home!" Guy yelled. "Yosh!" was his reply, and the strangest ninjas in Kanoha were off to congradulate Naruto.
Lee saw a girl with buns in her hair and grabbed her as they ran. "Tenten!" He yelled. "What the hell Lee!?" Tenten yelled back, hitting Lee on the head. "We are going to congradulate Naruto-kun on becoming Hokage!" He replied. Tenten's eyes widened then she grinned. "Finally.." She whispered, and followed the over-excited pair.
Hinata walked up to the steps of the Namikaze estate, overwhelmed by the sheer size of the house. She finally got up the courage to knock and the door was answered by Tsunade. "Ah, Hinata. It's about time you got here. Naruto's still passed out on the couch." Tsunade said, pointing behind her at a snoring Naruto. Hinata giggled as she looked at him lovingly.
Tsunade motioned for her to enter and she stepped inside the huge, compound-like, house. She looked over and Hiashi and Minato were talking with eachother as if they knew each other forever. She tensed up when her father looked over at her. She relaxed when he smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Go wake him up." She smilled at her father as she went to sit next to the prone boy.
She lifted his head and set it on her lap. Running her fingers lovingly through his spiky blonde hair, she bent down and whispered, "Wake up Naruto-kun." Hearing her voice, Naruto's eyes slowly opened, but once light hit them he groaned and shut them again. Hinata giggled, making his eyes shoot open and stay open. "Hinata?" He said, looking up at the pearly white eyes that greeted him.
"Congradulations.. Naruto-kun." She said as quietly and sweetly as she could. This sent Naruto's heart soarring and he grinned back up at her. She leaned down and gave him a sideways kiss. "I'm so proud of you, my Naruto-kun." She said, still inches away from his face. "Thanks Hinata. I love you." He said, kissing her cheek. Hinata blushed and said, "I love you too Naruto-kun."
Naruto sat up and went to the other side of the couch. Before Hinata could protest, he pulled her over to him so that his hands were around her waist and her back to his chest. He held her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder, burying his face in her hair. She could feel his cheeks curve up into a warm smile, and she couldn't help but melt into his arms.
Hiashi and Minato looked at the pair. They smilled and behind their backs, gave eachother a high-five.
