Sasuke stared at the little girl that looked at her at with big, bright eyes. She watched as her little look-a-like runs to her, jumping up and down in glee.
"Are you my Aunt Sasuke?"
Aunt Sasuke
Oh gosh, what the fuck is happening.
Sasuke was broken out her thoughts when Naruto steps in to pick up the excited child.
"Yes baby girl, this is your aunt Sasuke" he tells her as he holds her in his arms.
Mikoto lets out a small squeal, clapping her small hands together in response.
"Do you want to carry her Sasuke?"
The little girl claps even louder while her aunt just stares, unsure of what the hell to say or do.
Suddenly, before Naruto could pass the little child to his former teammate, a dove enters his office and sits on his head with a note attached to itself. Mikoto reaches up and detaches the note before Naruto could so he just settles to watching her reads the note intended for him the best she could.
"We...are...on...the...way! Mama signed this!"
Sasuke frowned, "Mama?"
"Hinata" Naruto reminded her before kissing his godchild on the cheek. "Good job Mikoto-hime."
Sasuke watches the little girl beam brightly until what she had just learned was processed in her mind.
Hinata was on the way here.
"Why is Hinata coming?"
Naruto turns to look at Sasuke, smirking at the question, "You'll see."
That night, all of the Leaf villages came to the Town Square; all commoners and ninjas alike. Everyone was eager to hear why Tsunade-sama had called them all down here. The Konoha 12 was there too and Sasuke who was planning to stand on a roof to watch but was instead dragged down by a persistent Sakura to stand with them. Sasuke irritably stood next to her former pink-haired teammate until Tsunade calls for everyone's attention.
"People of Konoha, I come before you today to tell you that I am retiring and I will have a village hero as your next Hokage."
Almost immediately, her audience bursts into a frenzy, trying to guess who the hero is.
"People of Konoha! I give you, NAMIZAKE NARUTO, CHILD OF NAMIZAKE MINATO & UZUMAKI KUSHINA AS YOUR SEVENTH HOKAGE!"
Some of the villagers gaped, some had their jaws dropped but most of them were cheering, excited to see their new Hokage.
Naruto then appeared before them, stepping out and walking onto the balcony to stand by his predecessor. Majority of the females in the audience flushed seeing him including Sasuke, Sakura and Ino too of course. Naruto's muscled body was clad in a black shirt, black pants and a red jacket with black flames on the sleeves. He lifted the Hokage hat off his head, revealing his handsome face.
"I will carry this mantle with honour and dignity. I promise all of you that I will lead this village to greatness and I always keep my promises!"
The entire village erupted into cheers, nobody can find fault with the jinchurriki, he was after all their hero for defeating Pein and saving them all the last time. He was strong and he seemed to still find it within himself to be compassionate after the childhood he had. It touched them so all they could really do was support him.
"Now. My first step as Hokage is to formally build alliances with other villages and first on my list is the Sound Village."
Now everyone was staring at Naruto as if he just declared he had two penises.
Oto? They had invaded Konoha before and what's more, it was once under Orochimaru's rule until it was overrun 3 years ago by the mystery group Dragon Warriors that was lead by the Lady Banshee who killed Orochimaru personally in the attack. It was said that the Lady Banshee became Otokage and took over the village. The thing is, Oto had grown to be quite an upstanding village afterwards, they made good trade with civil villages like the Rice Village and Star Village and kept good relations by providing their trade partners with ninja bodyguards from their village. It was quite a surprise.
However, Oto was still not to be messed with. Everyone heard the reports. The attack the Dragon Warriors inflicted upon Oto was merciless and bloody. It was said to be a gruesome battle. It was told also that Orochimaru and Kabuto died painful deaths, their separated limbs were sent to each Ninja village to inform them that Oto was under a new rule then but declared no ill will, just a reminder not to provoke the Sound in any way.
Several ninjas shuddered. Nobody could understand why Naruto would want to create relations with a village that had such a fearsome leader like that.
"People of Konoha, let me introduce to you, my best friend since I was 4 years old and the current Otokage. Uchiha Hinata!"
In a swirl of Sakura petals, a fair-skinned woman with long blue hair that ended at the waist appeared at Naruto's left. She took off her large Kage hat and revealed that it was who the village remembered as Hyuuga Hinata but was all grown up now but didn't she die?
The supposedly dead Hyuuga was dressed in a black sheer sleeved shirt with a black bandeau over it and black fitted pants with black heels. She wore a fair white jacket that ended at the ankles, similar style to Naruto's but instead of the flames on her sleeves, she had the Uchiha symbol on the side of her arms.
Sasuke stared, unable to comprehend that this was Hyuuga Hinata. She looks up and sees her brother with two other people perched on the roof of the Hokage Tower, donning Sound Village headbands.
Aniki..
"Konoha, I have come here in the hopes our villages can be good allies. I was originally from here so I now firsthand how fearsome the Will of Fire can be. We know our reputations haven't been great in the world and we wish to change that by allying ourselves with the Village Hidden In The Leaves. We believe that this relationship will bring us much goodwill for ourselves and for each other in the long run. We look forward to this arrangement very much."
With a smile that could melt the Sun, the Leaf villagers were charmed by the Otokage's words causing Naruto to smirk.
"SASUKE!"
Sasuke cringed. She was just about to turn the corner to head for the Hokage Office. Naruto told her to come by an hour after the ceremony to see him. Reluctantly, she turns to see the entire Konoha 12 including their sensei behind her with looks of determination.
"If you want to ask how long I knew about this, I only found out about Naruto two hours ago."
Ino scowled, "How did you know?"
"I received a message to head to the Hokage's office but I met him instead of Lady Tsunade."
Sakura frowned, she felt that it was unfair that Naruto forewarned only Sasuke and not her too. Sure, he and Sasuke had their bond but wasn't she a close friend to him as well?
"Did you know about Hinata? That she was Lady Banshee?" Kiba asks.
Almost immediately a shudder went through the majority of the others. Some of them had heard the stories of the bloodbath Oto got in their invasion by Lady Banshee and her Dragon Warriors.
"I knew she was coming but I had no idea about anything else."
Shino sensed that Sasuke wasn't lying so he stopped Kiba from pressing any further.
"They can come in too."
Everyone turns to the side to see a beautiful spectacle-wearing redhead with red eyes, wearing a Sound headband around her waist. She wore a purple bandeau, black skirt with slits at the side, fishnet leggings and black boots.
"I'm Karin Uzumaki. You're the Konoha 12 right?"
Uzumaki?
