The Door to Success is Always Marked Push

(Why won't this damn door open?!)


It was the day that Naruto had been waiting for his entire life. It was the day of his inauguration into being Hokage. Naruto would be the Rokudaime.

Naruto was awake early, because the young man could barely sleep the night before from the excitement. Yet, even with the lack of sleep, Naruto was running on his the energy that his excitement created. The blond fox had kept his wife awake most of the night with him.

The inauguration was to be held at four. The day couldn't have gone by slower. When four o' clock finally did come, Naruto was early to the office. From there, he had to head to the arena where for all of Konoha to hear a speech given by their old and new Hokages.

When Naruto arrived, he stood in front of the back door that would lead him up the steps to the balcony that would stand in front of all Konoha.

The blond turned and smiled at his closets friends. Sasuke, Sakura, Sai, Kakashi, and his wife, Hinata stood smiling back at him. Naruto nodded at them and turned toward the door. He grabbed the handle, and pulled.

The door didn't budge. Naruto gave a nervous chuckle and pulled again. The door still didn't move. The smile was gone by now.Naruto grabbed the door with both hands and tugged as hard as he could. The door remained unmoving.

"Why won't this damn door open? Open, dattebayo! Open!" Naruto yelled, pulling with all his might. The boy let go of the handle and backed up, preparing to ram it down. Then, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He looked at Hinata, and she softly pushed the door open.

"…I love you so much, dattebayo." He laughed, giving her a hug.
