Sibling Help II
"There, there Nii-san. I'm sure things will go better next time." Konohamaru smiled at Naruto reassuringly. "Sakura was just in a bad mood today."
"I seriously doubt that things will go better next time…" Naruto groaned. He moved his ice pack from his head to his crotch. "Some plan that turned out to be."
Konohamaru smiled sheepishly when Naruto glared at him. Recently, the boy had been coming up with plans to hook Naruto up with various women in the village. While Naruto had protested, Konohamaru had argued and stated that his rival and a future hokage needed a beautiful woman by his side. He had been against the idea at first, but when the scarf-wearing ninja had suggested pairing him up with Sakura, Naruto had reluctantly given his matchmaking plan a shot.
Needless to say, the plan had failed. Naruto had gone along with Konohamaru's plan and had tried wooing Sakura with flowers and lame pick up lines. He couldn't remember all the details, but the entire plan had ended in failure and pain.
To Naruto's horror, this was just the first of many plans Konohamaru had concocted in order for him to get a girlfriend. At first they had just been lousy pick up lines and asking for dates, but as more plans failed, new plans got more crazy and barbaric.
Eventually, when wooing Sakura proved fruitless, Konohamaru had suggested broadening his horizons. Naruto had tried dating Ino for a while, but that had proved to be to much of a taxing and demanding relationship. He didn't have the cash to buy her jewelry every other day and he could see why Shikamaru had broken up with her. Next he tried Tenten. While they had gotten along great and enjoyed each other's company, for some reason Neji had attacked Naruto in a furious rage. Tsunade had to spend a week unlocking all Naruto's chakra points that Neji had sealed. When he finally did get out of the hospital, he was shocked to find out Neji and Tenten were dating.
Once he had dated most girls he knew in the village, Naruto had suggested throwing in the towel for the time being and staying as an eligible bachelor. Konohamaru refused, and Naruto was shocked when he managed to get in touch with girls he had met outside the village. His most memorable match up was when Konohamaru had tried pairing him up with Temari. The child had neglected the fact that the sand kunochi was in a relationship with Shikamaru. When her boyfriend found out, he use his shadow possession jutsu to make Naruto do the YMCA dance on top of the hokage monument for the whole village to see. He had tried a few other people, but they all proved fruitless.
Naruto shuddered when he thought about the few times Konohamaru had tried setting him up with older women. The less said about his dates with Anko, Kurenai, and Shizune, the better.
"The plan was flawless. She just wasn't the right girl for you." Konohamaru smiled.
"You say that all the time." Naruto groaned. "Look, I think I've gone on a date with pretty much every girl I know. They either don't like me, want to stay friends, or demand too much from a relationship. The world isn't going to end just because I don't have a girlfriend!"
"You can't accept that, Nii-san!" Konohamaru said. "Every future hokage needs a girlfriend!"
"Oh really?" Naruto asked, a smug look crossing his features. "So where's YOUR girlfriend, Konohamaru?"
"Girlfriend? Um… well, that's… er…" Konohamaru laughed uneasily, looking away from Naruto who wouldn't stop staring at him. "L-Look, I've gotta go! I'll find the perfect match for you, promise!"
"I look forward to that day." Naruto said, rolling his eyes as Konohamaru hopped off the bench and ran away.
"Hm… what girl would date Naruto Nii-san?" Konohamaru thought to himself as he walked through the streets.
He had tried every girl Naruto knew in and outside the village. Who else was left?
"Maybe he's into younger girls?" Konohamaru thought curiously.
"Who's into younger girls?"
The grandson of the Sandaime turned to the speaker. He smiled when he noticed one of his classmates standing outside the Hyuga compound.
"Hi, Hanabi-chan." Konohamaru smiled. "Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about what kind of girls Naruto-nii likes."
"Why?" Hanabi asked curiously.
"Because every future hokage needs a beautiful woman by his side and he's girlfriendless." Konohamaru replied, crossing his arms. "I've been trying to set him up for months, but I've had no luck at all."
"That's too bad." Hanabi said, patting his shoulder in consolation. "Which girls have you tried pairing him with?"
"Everyone!" Konohamaru admitted miserably. "Operations NaruSaku, NaruTen, NaruIno, NaruTem and all the others were failures! Who else is left?"
"Hanabi? Who are you talking to?"
Konohamaru's eyes widened when he saw who had addressed them. A beautiful woman with raven hair spilling down her back and with curves in all the right places came out of the Hyuga mansion, smiling sweetly at the both of them.
"Oh, hello there." Hinata smiled, looking down at the boy. "Who's your friend, Hanabi?"
"This is Konohamaru. He's been trying to get Naruto-kun a date." Hanabi answered for her sister.
"A d-d-date? W-With Naruto-kun?" Hinata stuttered. "W-Why?"
Konohamaru smiled. A girl blushing when some guy's name was mentioned was always a good sign.
"Tell me something, Hinata-san. Are you single?"
X.X.X
"Okay, what wacky scheme have you prepared this time?" Naruto asked and Konohamaru pulled him along.
"No plan this time." Konohamaru replied smilingly, surprising Naruto with the answer. "I just asked this girl if she wanted to go on a date with you. She agreed immediately."
"That's a first." Naruto admitted. Usually Konohamaru would trick the girls into a date of get him to flirt with them a little bit. This was the first time he'd heard that some girl agreed to go on a date with him.
"There she is!"
Naruto's eyes widened.
"Hinata?"
The girl waved shyly at him and Konohamaru and Naruto approached. Hanabi noticed the duo coming and pushed her sister towards them. The two young adults stopped in front of each other and stared at one another for a while.
"Um… Konohamaru? Why is Hinata here?" Naruto asked.
"Ano… Konohamaru said that you wanted to go on a date with me, so…" Hinata trailed off, twiddling her fingers nervously.
"Yeah!" Konohamaru smiled. Naruto opened up his mouth to protest but the younger boy stopped him. "Nii-san, how could you have ignored her for so long? Look at her! She's the perfect woman for you! Nice face, adorable attitude, pure and innocent, curves in all the right places, bustier than any other girl in the village…"
"…Have you been hanging out with Jiraiya again?" Naruto asked, giving Konohamaru a suspicious look as his descriptions got more explicit.
"Onee-san has actually liked Naruto-kun for a long time." Hanabi smiled, shocking the teen. "She talks about you all the time. She always talks about how strong you are, how good a person you are… you're mentioned on every page in her diary."
"Hanabi!" Hinata blushed, embarrassed by the compliments Konohamaru was giving her and what her little sister was revealing.
"She even stalked you for a while too." Konohamaru smiled.
"You… you don't say." Naruto muttered, at a loss for words.
Naruto stared at the girl across from him who was busy trying to get Hanabi and Konohamaru to stop mentioning embarrassing things about her. When he thought about it, Hinata was actually a really beautiful girl. She was kind, caring, and was probably one of the only girls who had never hit him or harmed his body. And if what the two kids said about her was true, than he had been ignorant of her affections for far too long. Maybe dating her wouldn't be a disaster like all the others had been…
"…Would you like to go on a date with me, Hinata?" Naruto asked, surprised when he felt his face get hot.
"E-Eh?" Hinata stopped arguing with her sister and looked at Naruto.
"…Go on a date… with me." Naruto repeated.
"O-Okay…" Hinata stuttered.
Naruto smiled and grabbed her hand, making her blush as he did so. He pulled her away from her sibling and his friend. Naruto's grin widened as he felt Hinata's hand in his.
"Today is definitely going to be a good day." Naruto smiled happily, offering his arm to Hinata who grabbed onto him without a word.
Konohamaru nodded as he watched the couple walk away. It had taken a few tries, but he had finally gotten Naruto a girlfriend.
"They look good together." Hanabi mentioned, tapping her chin with approval.
"Every future hokage needs a beautiful girlfriend by his side." Konohamaru announced proudly.
"Then where's your girlfriend, Konohamaru?"
"…"
"…Well?"
"…Want to go on a date with me, Hanabi-chan?"
The girl just smiled, giggling at the boy's blushing face.
