Dear diary, thankfully the Princess let me and Scott go in the morning. Apparently she wants to introduce Scott to her parents.
N-Naruto, s-save mee! :O - Scott
I hope the Queen recognizes Scott from last night! :D
Oh I'm sure she'll recognize the boy who disturbed her slumber with poetry. Quite the first impression you made, Scott! :) - Char
I-I'm dead… O_O - Scott
Lol, sucks to be you!
Anyway! I'm off to granny's! Later peeps!
Bobcat mansion
Sitting in the main living room of the mansion, on sofas opposite to each other with a small tea-table separating them, Madam Bobcat and Naruto glared at each other. Sitting beside Naruto and clad in her uniform, Leon happily helped herself to another slice of cake which was on the table.
Madam Bobcat began, "boy, you will visit the viscount." She narrowed her eyes at Naruto, daring him to defy her.
Wearing a formal black suit with an orange tie, Naruto pouted at her, "you're relapsing to your evil ways again, granny. I thought this was gonna be a family outing!"
Leon snickered, "well, future family if it goes well." Naruto glared at her. "What? You want cake?" said Leon offering up a spoon for him.
Naruto turned away with a huff, "the cake is a lie." He narrowed his eyes at Madam Bobcat, "just like the ramen you promised!"
The old lady sighed and rubbed her brow, "boy, it's just a marriage interview."
Naruto shook his head, "but I don't wanna go! I have a girlfriend!"
Madam Bobcat blinked in surprise, "…drat." She scowled. "There goes ten years of planning." She sighed, "okay fine just go for the experience and come back."
Naruto frowned, "can't I just skip it?"
Madam Bobcat raised a brow, "you want to make a girl cry by not even showing up for her marriage interview?" She smirked, "I like that. Coldblooded."
Leon slapped a hand on her cheek, "oh no! She's relapsing!"
Naruto smiled, giving Madam Bobcat a trusting look, "bah, you worry too much, sis. Granny isn't evil, she's just kidding around."
Madam Bobcat rolled her eyes, "anyway, tell me. Can I bribe your girlfriend to move on to greener pastures?" She smiled, a calculating look in her eyes, "everyone has a price after all."
Naruto gaped, "h-holy crap, she's relapsing!"
Leon chuckled and set her plate down on the table, "quick, Naruto! Let's rap the evil outta her!" She posed like she had a mike in her hands and put her arm around her brother's shoulder.
Poof!
A pair of shades appeared in Naruto's hands and he snapped one on himself and slid the other onto Leon's face. The girl chuckled with amusement as Naruto proceeded to put his own arm around her shoulder and posed his other hand's fingers in a peace sign.
They looked like a two headed singer.
Madam Bobcat paled, leaning back with fright in her sofa. "N-Not this again." She gulped, "I a-ask to please stop."
Naruto kicked off the jam session, "we ain't gonna stop, till we groovin at the top!"
Leon followed up with a attitude filled frown, "our muse is the shopper and our music's the shop!"
Madam Bobcat groaned and put her head in her hands, "s-stop it children, my head will drop."
Naruto and Leon grinned at her, "aww, you gonna cry? Have a lollipop!"
Madam Bobcat took a shuddering breath and tried to steady herself against the onslaught of wickedly bad rhymes.
She looked up and glared weakly at them, "o-oh my god-"
Naruto and Leon took that as an invitation to continue and sang with a grin, happily interrupting her.
Naruto said, "prepare to be awed!"
Leon said, "from home to abroad!"
Madam Bobcat sighed, "good lord, you two are like peas in a pod."
Leon raised a brow, "eh, that's odd."
Naruto scratched his chin, "don't I got a rod?"
"W-What?!" shrieked Madam Bobcat.
Leon and Naruto finished, "don't matter. End of day, our rhymes you'll applaud!"
They both finger-gunned each other and blew smoke off their fingers, chuckling happily.
Madam Bobcat gaped, looking at Naruto and Leon in shock as they turned to her and grinned with mischief.
Madam Bobcat shook her head in disbelief, "m-my word." She frowned, "you ought to be tanned for such a juvenile gag-"
Naruto and Leon beamed at her, smiling widely and simply ecstatic at the request for an encore!
Naruto went, "I don't mean to brag!"
Madam Bobcat's eyes widened in terror, "n-no," she whispered in a horrified voice.
Leon jammed, "don't wanna be a drag!"
Naruto grooved, "don't go raisin no red flag-"
Madam Bobcat surrendered, bowing her head, "O-Okay! You win!" She said with frazzled eyes, her hands clasped before her as she pleaded. "W-We'll do as you wish! No bribing anyone, ha ha." She looked up and managed a trembling smile, her demeanor still in awe of her grandchildren's sheer lyrical prowess, "j-just no more gutter music? Please?"
Naruto and Leon's eyes widened. "Gutter music?!" They yelled and glared at her, pouting and looking affronted.
Leon turned to Naruto, "looks like granny needs to hear more jams, brother dearest."
Naruto nodded sagely, "she doesn't know what she's missing out, sister biggest."
Leon blinked, she scowled and clonked Naruto on the head. "Oi! You calling me fat?"
"Ow!" Naruto yelped. Rubbing his head, he pouted at her. "What? You're the one who told me to call you big sis." He snickered. "You're the biggest, right?"
Leon growled, "you wanna start a fight?"
Naruto smirked, "you wanna face my might?"
Madam Bobcat began sobbing, "I-I bemoan my plight!"
Leon and Naruto blinked in surprise and turned to the defeated woman, who was pinching her brow and was now praying for divine intervention. Leon and Naruto smiled brightly at her, "not bad, granny! We'll make you a jammer yet!"
Madam Bobcat frowned with confusion, before it hit her that she had rhymed along with them. "O-Oh no," Madam Bobcat paled.
"One of us! One of us!" Naruto and Leon sinisterly whispered, making grabbing motions at her and flapping their hands around like creepy aliens. "Here we are! Here we are!"
A butler then entered the living room, stopping before Madam Bobcat and informing her, "madam, the car is ready to take the young master and lady to the viscount's estate."
Madam Bobcat gasped with relief, "t-thank god!" The butler frowned in confusion. Madam Bobcat quickly shook her head and regained a modicum of her composure and turned to her grandchildren. She commanded, "Naruto! Leon! Get out and leave for the car, you hellions!" She clasped her fingers before herself and smiled, "I shall prepare a grand feast for you by the time you return. But p-please, leave me in peace for now!"
Chirping happily at the promise of a fest, Leon and Naruto sang back, each of them saying one line after the other with Leon starting,
"A feast, oh wow!"
"We want the yummy chow!"
"After the viscount's powwow!"
"It better be so good we yell,"
"Holy cow!"
Madam Bobcat's face went blank as she lost all hope of retaining her sanity. She ordered her butler to go bring her some hard ice wrapped in a towel. The butler inquired if it were to cool her head. Madam Bobcat said no, it was to bludgeon herself unconscious.
Laughing, Leon smirked vindictively, but quickly changed it to an innocent smile. Naruto grinned good-naturedly, he knew Leon still held a grudge against the older woman. He didn't mind his sister tormenting the older Bobcat as long as it was harmless. And hey, he was having fun with his sis! So win-win for both of them! Granny was looking a little too desperate though, so maybe they should cut her a break. He elbowed Leon, giving her a meaningful look.
Leon blinked and then pouted back, saying with her eyes, 'aww, that's it?'
Naruto shrugged and smiled, as if saying, 'let's come up with more stuff and experiment on granny later.'
Leon snickered and nodded.
The both of them stood up and followed the butler as he led them out of the room, but right as they exited, Naruto asked Madam Bobcat something he should've asked right at the start.
"Hey, granny. What's this viscount's name?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I'd feel awkward going to his house and going, 'what's up dude? What's your name by the way?'"
Madam Bobcat sighed, "he's Lord Turkish Persia."
Naruto and Leon blinked. They went, "say what?"
Madam Bobcat followed up with, "it's his daughter Juliet Persia you have the interview with."
Naruto and Leon's jaws dropped and their eyes popped out. They yelled,
"Say, what?!"
Leon and Naruto stood blinking in shock for a few seconds, astonished that Persia's father had arranged something like this. There was no way Persia would have been okay with this.
Naruto pursed his lips, "…yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out."
Leon turned to him with a frown, "huh, why? We gotta help her!"
Naruto pouted, "hey, I just got accused of being some master manipulator yesterday." Madam Bobcat's eyes shone with pride as she heard this, she beamed at her grandson with approval. Naruto continued, shaking his head, "you know that if I step in it really won't be an issue anymore." He shrugged, "besides, it's their love story. What sounds better? Oh yeah, Naruto saved our butts! Or, yeah our love can move heaven, earth and scheming fathers!"
Leon chuckled. "Yeah, I see your point." She crossed her arms, slightly troubled, "but we can't just do nothing right? Also, it'd pretty much be an insult to Persia's father if you don't even show up."
Naruto scratched his head, "but if I show up I'll ruin things. Like what if Inuzuka and Persia are having a moment with Persia's mom and dad? If something like that happened to me and Hasuki, I'd be pretty bummed." He shrugged, "I could always kidnap Persia later if things don't work out."
Madam Bobcat was crying tears of joy that someone else in her family understood the utility of a good kidnapping. Overcome with the relief that she wasn't alone in her views, she had to leave the room and go for a walk in order to contain her elation.
Naruto leaned close to Leon and whispered, "you know my abilities right? This really isn't a problem." He chuckled, "I mean the other day my clone found some creep tailing Hasuki when she got lost in the streets. Some kind lady saved her before my clone intervened." Naruto grinned sharply, "too bad there wasn't anyone to save that bastard from me." He turned to Leon with a happy smile, "so! No probs really! I'll get a few clones to monitor the situation and help out if needed!"
Leon glared at Naruto, "you take the tension out of everything." She sighed as she and Naruto walked back to the sofa and sat down. She grumbled, "if this were a story you'd be the most broken and out of place character, you know." She eyed him with a frown, muttering, "seriously, I still can't believe you're a freakin alien."
Naruto looked at the ground sadly, sniffling and rubbing his eyes, "a-are you saying I shouldn't b-be here, sis?"
Leon's eyes widened, "n-no! I didn't say that! You're my brother!" She wrapped her arms around him in a side hug. "You're my hero!"
"…hehehe." Naruto turned a shit eating grin to her. "I'm your hero?"
Leon narrowed her eyes, "don't let it get to your head, you're still an annoying nuisance half the time." She smiled, "but yeah, you did help me a lot."
Naruto smiled back at her. "You guys saved me too, sis."
Leon sighed, "let's not get too sappy."
Naruto nodded, "yeah, that's pretty crappy."
Leon chuckled, "let's just smile and be happy."
Naruto grinned, "yeah, with a touch of wacky."
Leon let him go and leaned back in the sofa with a giggle, "you really got me hooked on this rhyming thing."
"Yeah… I'm thinking of becoming a singer." Naruto beamed at her. "You know! Like moon-walking and stuff! But-but I can do it on water and on walls! It'd be so cool! And learning how to dance will be a piece of cake! Heck, I'll make up my own dance moves!" He grinned, "I can do a ton of things! Like breakdancing! Or I can just go for a martial arts theme and go full frog katas! Remember? That stuff I showed you with my eyes like a toad's."
Leon smiled bemusedly, "you know… I think that'd actually suit you." She scoffed, "hey, at least you'll have everyone beat in special effects even if your songs end up sucking. Just do that weird light show you always do."
Naruto glared at her, "thanks for the vote of confidence, sis."
Leon grinned and ruffled his hair. Naruto scowled at her. Leon said with a smile, "what about college? You made a huge deal of it before mama and tou-san."
Naruto frowned, "yeah… I can't find any which are willing to accept me in Touwa. I wanna go to the same one as Hasuki."
Leon smiled. "Lucky for you, Aby and I managed to create a cultural exchange program with some of the top colleges in Touwa and the Duchy. If you apply through that you can get admission based on merit. So study hard!" Leon tilted her head, "Airu-senpai, Persia and the Princess helped with their connections of course, so thank them later."
Naruto looked at Leon with disbelieving eyes. "R-Really?"
Leon nodded, "really. I got right on it once you told us your plans." She smiled, "big sis has your back, dopey."
"T-Thanks, sis." Naruto gave her a teary eyed look, smiling lightly, "it… feels nice ya know? Hearing my sis telling me I can rely on her."
Leon scoffed, "well, get used to it." She smirked, "I ain't doing it for free you know?" She put her hands before herself and wiggled her fingers in the air, snickering as Naruto paled and leaned away from her.
Naruto gulped and muttered, "damn you Stockholm syndrome."
As Leon was busy snickering and Naruto was busy grumbling, a butler approached the two of them with a phone in his hands.
He said, "young master and lady, a certain Komai Hasuki wants to speak to you." He held the phone before himself, handing it to Naruto as he put his hand out. He bowed once and left to tend to his daily tasks.
Naruto huddled beside Leon and hit the speaker, and immediately Hasuki's voice rang out.
"Hey! Naruto! Leon! Persia got kidnapped by her father! All of us Cats and Dogs are going to storm her home and help Inuzuka-kun get her back! You guys coming?"
Leon glared at Naruto, who'd begun snickering. She said, "you really suck the tension out of this."
Naruto smirked, "I know. I'm awesome right?" He chuckled, "doesn't mean we can't have fun."
Leon raised a brow, "what? You'll bring Sasuke out again? Sic 'im on the viscount's men?"
Standing up, Naruto shook his head with a snicker, "nah, I think I'll just breakdance and see if it distracts anyone. Gotta start somewhere right?"
Leon barked a laugh and nodded, "that I want to see, dopey." She stood up as well, and joined Naruto as they began making their way out.
Hasuki's voice rang out again, "hey, you guys coming or what?"
Naruto grinned, "coming, Hasuki!"
Leon grinned, "we know the address, meet you there!"
"Okay! Hurry up, guys!" said Hasuki, before cutting the call.
Naruto and Leon quickly jogged out of the mansion and got in the rear passenger seats of the car, instructing the driver to set off at once.
The car drove off towards their destination. Leaving the mansion grounds and heading off into the future.
A future where there were many struggles. Many battles. And many trials.
But with those hardships also came many joys. Many triumphs. And many happy beginnings.
The tale of Uzumaki Naruto doesn't end here. He goes on to do many things in the coming days. Makes new friends, brings the two nations closer with the help of all his allies, and spends as much time as he can with all his friends and family.
Naruto and Teria remained best friends even after high school. The two of them often coming up with new inventions and also having fun going to movies or buying comics for each other. Once she was old enough, Naruto gave her a permanent position in Kurama Corporation as a lead researcher. Teria would go on to split her time between being a robotics engineer in her university and a seal master in Kurama Corporation.
Kochou also hung out with Naruto whenever he popped by to visit Teria. Though she'd always grill him on how Airu was doing and if he'd made any moves on him. She'd often help Teria and Naruto with their research on seals.
Naruto and Airu continued their little competition of one-upmanship, neither of them giving the other an inch. Their win counts were well into the hundreds by the time Airu graduated out of Dahlia Academy. Airu took a much less active role in business once he graduated, instead focusing on the political side of things. He still advised Naruto throughout the years, often using it as an excuse to hang out.
Maru entered Naruto's shit list the day Sayori took an interest in the boy. Maru was well aware of this and did his best to piss off Naruto by openly flirting with the girl in front of him and by calling Naruto his father-in-law. Naruto bore it with a smile because Sayori seemed to like him. Naruto would later ask Airu to put a bounty on Maru's head and Airu would advise him to stop being an idiot.
Naruto and Hasuki remained in love throughout high school. And after graduating they both joined the same college. A few years later they both moved in together. Much to Kougi's horror. Owing to the fact that Naruto wanted to be a singer, and Hasuki wanted to be an actress they both took things slow. Only being engaged to each other for the moment, deciding to see how Inuzuka and Persia's marriage went before going further.
Naruto and Leon stayed song buddies, despite how it embarrassed Leon whenever it was brought up before anyone who wasn't family. Though they might never admit it out loud, they each thought the other was the best sibling in the world barring Kai and Kuri. They always had each other's backs. And they were always the first to tease and make fun of the other at every opportunity. When Leon became a teacher in Dahlia Academy, Naruto immediately popped into her class to embarrass her before her students. And when Naruto had his first hit song, Leon was the first to babble to the reporters how adorkable he really was.
Naruto often visited Vermie and Maramute even after he left their home. Vermie and Naruto would usually spend their time outdoors in the town, going from shop to shop or just sitting together and chatting in the park. While Maramute would often discuss business and occasionally have a light workout with Naruto.
Kai and Kuri became extremely sullen when Naruto and Leon left their home for higher education. They returned to normal after a while once they got used to it. But they'd often make it a point to go visit their elder siblings in Touwa at least once a month, just to catch up and hang out with them.
Cait and Naruto wrote and published a book on dick jokes. The two of them had each other on speed dial would often call each other in the dead of the night when the sheer brilliance of a new dick joke struck them. Cait often lamented how Airu cut his time with Naruto short by stealing him away, but took solace in the fact that Naruto's mind was as sharp as ever.
Sieber got tired of Cait and Naruto's shit and decided that if you couldn't beat them, join them. It was a sad day indeed when the world lost another sane person. Cait and Naruto cackled like hyenas on that day, before Sieber shut them up by barking orders at them to do some menial chore or the other. It was only years later that Cait and Naruto realized that she'd only joined them to disrupt them, for their joke output had substantially reduced ever since Sieber joined in on the fun. Sieber's response when Naruto and Cait confronted her on this?
"I'm willy sorry."
Naruto and Cait burst into proud tears and hugged the blank faced woman, who chose to bear it for the greater good of lowering the number of vulgar jokes in the world.
Due be being an inactive ninja, Naruto's skills and physical condition deteriorated over the years, despite the trouble he took to keep up a training regimen. He would hit up Rex once every few months to compare notes on workouts, training and diet. Rex, still crossdressing throughout the years and opening his own designer clothes franchise, would always welcome Naruto with a hearty laugh before becoming serious and getting into the nitty-gritty of maintaining a healthy body and lifestyle.
Aby and Somali got married a few years after graduating high school. They had two children, two daughters named Singa and Pula. The girls picked up their mother's habit of calling Naruto 'Kitty.' They treated him more as a cat than a person. Whenever Naruto greeted the girls with a cheer, they'd climb on top of him, call him Uncle Kitty and then they'd either pet his head, if Naruto was lucky, or his cheeks, if Naruto was unlucky. The girls giggled with delight whenever they got the Uzumaki purring. Somali would laugh happily at the sight, finding it adorable. While Aby would smirk and take pictures, no doubt to make fun of Naruto later.
Scott and Naruto remained the best of bros. Char and Naruto tolerated each other and often resisted the urge to prank the other to oblivion. Though they became sort of friends as they got older and more mature. At first, the King and Queen weren't very impressed with Scott, finding him lacking in clout, influence and pedigree. But once they saw how much of a schemer he was and how he and Char fed and flourished on each other's diabolical plans for the prosperity of their nation, they become much more accepting and even invited him to spend the summers with them in the royal summer house.
Scott would always consider Naruto to be one of his best and greatest friends, and Naruto felt the same way about him. Scott also felt like stabbing Naruto with pointy things whenever he took his jokes too far. Naruto always lamented that Scott never gave his jokes the appreciation they justly deserved.
Kurama left Naruto to go explore the world. He'd done that right after Naruto had graduated college. He'd left the core of his chakra with Naruto while taking only enough chakra to manifest himself outside. He'd explained to Naruto that he wanted his freedom, that being in a container for so long was taking its toll on him.
Naruto could always feel which part of the world Kurama was at, the beast would go from forest to forest, from one country to another. Occasionally he'd feel Kurama stopping by in villages and countryside towns. He had no clue what the beast was up to, but the feelings coming through their connection were often of joy and relaxation. Every few years, Naruto would wake up to find a gift basket in front of his home, with odd souvenirs and trinkets from random places of the world. A red paw print would lay stamped on the side of the basket.
Persia and Inuzuka returned to their respective countries after graduating high school. Promising each other that they would meet again, and that they'd try their hardest to change the world to be more accepting. Persia joined the noble circles with the support and guidance of her father. While Inuzuka joined and helped his brother with politics, trying to pass legislation which supported unity between the two countries. Persia and Inuzuka would often stare at the moon at nights, wondering what the other was up to.
Until Naruto got sick of watching Romio's moony looks and just flashed him over to Juliet. He dumped the dumbfounded man into Juliet's hands and told him to ring when he wanted to go home. Romio and Juliet gaped like idiots as Naruto disappeared in an orange flash. They eventually decided that they were having a wild dream and went wild with making out. It was only an hour later when Naruto called Romio's phone that they realized they were indeed in reality. The two of them were unable to look at each other in the eye for a week following that for how embarrassed they were.
Juliet first punched Naruto in the gut for doing that to her, before she happily hugged him for doing that to her, thanking him a million times for being an absolute angel. Naruto insisted that he was an alien, Juliet insisted that he was an angel. Much to Naruto's embarrassment.
Romio beamed at Naruto for being a total bro. But then Naruto asked for travel fares. Romio scowled at Naruto for being a greedy asshole. Naruto then chuckled and said that the only fares were a promise to do his best to keep Juliet happy. Romio teared up and grabbed Naruto in a strong hug, nodding his head rapidly and shouting his promise for all to hear.
And ten years after they graduated high school, Romio and Juliet got married on Dahlia Island. With the venue being the very school where they had fallen in love.
Sitting with Hasuki and Kougi in the audience, Naruto smiled as he watched Romio and Juliet at the altar, staring into each other's eyes. Eyes full of love, and smiles full of exhilaration and fear for the future.
Feeling a tear trail down his cheek as his friends said their vows and kissed each other, Naruto took Hasuki's hand into his own, as he heard her choke up with tears herself.
Naruto softly whispered, turning to the woman, "I know I say this a lot but… I love you, Hasuki."
Hasuki turned a tear filled smile to Naruto, wiping her eyes with her hand. "I love you too, Naruto."
They both smiled at each other and slowly leaned in…
Kougi decided to make himself known, "guys, I'm right here." He frowned, "am I invisible or something?"
Naruto and Hasuki sighed and backed away.
Naruto turned to Kougi with a grin, "aww, do you want a kiss too, Kougi?"
Kougi glared at Naruto, "not from you. You sister stealing bastard."
Naruto was about to retort-
Hasuki prodded his shoulder, "uh, Naruto." She pointed towards the altar. "Aren't they kissing way too long?"
Naruto turned his head and indeed saw Romio and Juliet still engaged in their kiss. Naruto squinted and peered closer, before he barked a laugh. "Hah, the dude fainted!"
Hasuki blinked, "what?" She stared for a few seconds, before she started chuckling when the priest himself intervened to check on Romio's condition.
Snickering, Naruto stood up as more and more people began gathering around Romio, whose eyes were happy swirls of unconsciousness. "Come on, let's go make fun of him!" said Naruto.
Hasuki stood up with a laugh, "you mean congratulate, right?"
Naruto just chuckled and made his way with her towards Romio.
Naruto smiled as he joined the concerned people around groom, his gaze washing over each and every one of them.
All around him in the wedding hall were his friends.
All around him were his family.
All around him were his loved ones.
Naruto stared up and saw three crests on the ceiling.
The crest of the White Cats on the left.
The crest of the Black Dogs on the right.
And the crest of the Academy in the center.
Naruto smiled and whispered, speaking to the spirit of the academy itself.
"Thank you, Dahlia Academy."
He stared smiling for a few more moments before the current of the wedding's festivity drew him away.
He joined his loved ones with a cheer, celebrating his friendship and companionship with them.
And was from the bottom of his heart…
Forever grateful for meeting them.
