Hinata was out to buy some gear in the main Konoha marketplace, when she heard some familiar voices.
"Ducky!"
"Ah! Kasumi-chan, no!"
Hinata looked and blushed hard with a smile as she saw Kasumi running from Naruto to a large display duck at a nearby shop. She gazed at it in wonder and put her tiny hands all over it as Naruto caught up with her. He took her hand and led her away.
"Ducky!" Kasumi insisted. Naruto laughed.
"No, no Ducky!" Naruto stated. "Now hold my hand."
"No!" Kasumi said stubbornly. She slipped her hand out, and locked eyes onto Hinata. She beamed and ran at her.
"Hina-mommy!"
"Ah!" Hinata reached out and caught the little girl, who eagerly hugged her. Hinata laughed softly, and hugged her back as Naruto again caught up.
"Ah! Hey Hinata-chan!" Naruto said cheerfully. Hinata was able to keep control of herself, as she held the wriggly Kasumi.
"H-Hello, Naruto-kun," Hinata returned quietly, "um, out shopping?"
Naruto frowned.
"I'm trying to, but since she learned how to walk she's able to run!" Naruto sighed, and rubbed the back of his head. "She just wants to see everything!"
Kasumi looked over Hinata's shoulder, and wriggled out of her grip.
"Ah! Kasumi-chan!" Hinata gasped, as the three year old ran off again. She and Naruto both pursued, but didn't have to go far. Kasumi was pressed up against a window, her chubby cheeks flat against the glass, as she stared in longing at some candy. She looked at Naruto.
"Daddy! Candy!" She said.
"No, you already had candy Kasumi-chan," Naruto said sternly. "You can't have more."
"Candy!" Kasumi insisted again, "please Daddy? Can I have candy?"
Naruto sighed. "Okay, we can all have some candy," he said, "but we're getting some for Hinata too!"
"Hina-mommy!" Kasumi cried. Naruto chuckled, and went into the shop to get some. He came out, and handed some to his daughter, and then to Hinata. Hinata took it, blushing up a storm.
"Candy!" Kasumi cried again, happily eating it.
"Is it good, Kasumi-chan?" Hinata asked. The little girl nodded happily.
"Very good! It's like... Chocolate! But better!"
"Like chocolate but better, huh? Heh... Ugh, and now she smeared it all over her face," Naruto sighed. He knelt down and pulled out a wipe from his pouch, wiping his squirmy daughter's face clean. "There you go. Better?"
"Yes," Kasumi said. Her eyes lit up again, and she dashed away.
"AH!" Naruto shouted, "KASUMI!"
Hinata took off with Naruto, as the little girl once again charged at something that had seized her attention-This time, a cart of shiny toys. She picked up a pink bunny purse, and held it up.
"Get! Get!" She said. "Please Daddy? I want it!"
Naruto frowned. "I don't know..."
"I-I've got it," Hinata said, fishing some money out of her pouch and handing it over to the merchant. He chuckled and waved it off.
"No need! Free for two heroes of the village, and their adorable daughter," he said. Hinata turned bright red, even as Kasumi took the purse and struggled to put it on.
"N-No, she's not my-!"
"Hina-mommy!" Kasumi cried, and Hinata was kneeling down and holding her immediately.
"What's wrong, Kasumi-chan?" Hinata asked urgently. Kasumi sniffled, her bunny purse twisted around her neck.
"It hurts..."
Hinata smiled, fixed it, and got the purse around Kasumi's shoulder properly.
"There you go, no harm done," Hinata said warmly. Kasumi beamed, hugged her, and kissed her cheek.
"Hina-mommy! Thank you!" Kasumi said. Naruto knelt down next to them, all smiles.
"Thanks Hinata," he said, "you're going to be a great mom someday."
Hinata felt faint. She was going to fall over again... No, not now...!
"Kitty! There's a kitty!" Kasumi cried, now off and running again... But Naruto had snagged her by the back of her dress. He pulled her back.
"No, we'll go see the kitty together, ya know?" Naruto insisted. He looked at Hinata. "Uh... Hey, if you're not doing anything, would you like to go with us? I've still got more shopping to do and-"
"S-Sure!" Hinata squeaked. She carefully took Kasumi's hand, and held it. Naruto took the other hand of the little girl. They headed out slowly, Kasumi swinging from their hands with happy sounds.
It really was like they were a family already...
"Flowers!" Kasumi giggled, as she spotted the Yamanaka Flower Shop, "flowers! I wanna go see flowers! Can we, can we?"
"Well, it would be nice to see Ino," Naruto said. He smiled at Hinata. Hinata nodded.
They went into the flower shop, Kasumi let go to wander around. Ino was working at the front counter, and brightened when she saw her friends enter.
"Hey Naruto! Hey Hinata!" She beamed. "So what brings you here?"
"Kasumi-chan wanted to see some flowers," Naruto said. Hinata went over to sniff some wysteria, and admired it. These would look nice in her room...
"Auntie Ino!" Kasumi said happily, running up to the counter. Ino blushed and cooed over the adorable little girl, as she always did.
"Awww! Hello Kasumi-chan! You're sooo cute!" She said happily. Kasumi reached out for a vase, but Naruto grabbed her and held her away from it in a hug. He laughed.
"Yeah, but she's really getting into trouble lately," Naruto said, "she's so energetic!"
He nuzzled and tickled Kasumi, making his daughter laugh. Ino flushed a bit as she looked at this display, and bit her lower lip.
Things Hinata definitely noticed, as her grip tightened on some flowers she had picked up.
"Love you Daddy!" Kasumi said happily. "Can I have flowers?"
"I already got you a purse and candy-twice," Naruto said with a laugh, "you're such a greedy little girl!"
"Sorry," Kasumi said, frowning. Ino cooed, and picked a sunflower from the shelves. She handed it to Kasumi, who brightened.
"There you go, it's on the house for such a sweet little girl!" Ino giggled. "But you, Naruto... I'm gonna want something in exchange."
Ino wrapped some of her hair around her finger as she gazed upon Naruto, who smiled back at her gratefully.
"Oh? What do you want, Ino?"
"Well, I'd like you to take me out to-"
"Ichiraku's," Hinata stated tensely, her Byakugan activated. Ino and Naruto started, as she had suddenly appeared next to Naruto.
"Yes, take us out to Ichiraku's," Hinata said tensely, "like good friends do."
Ino looked surprised... But nodded slowly, giving Hinata a slightly tense smile.
"Of course! I'd love to! We can all go," Ino said smoothly, a competitive fire igniting in her eyes.
One that Naruto, as usual, completely missed as he tended to Kasumi waving her new flower about happily.
Just some cuteness. Hope you enjoyed! And these omakes too!
Boruto stands frozen, shock and horror flooding his entire system as he sees what lies on the floor of the Uzumaki Family's living room.
Three bloodied corpses.
BORUTO: Mom... Dad... Himawari...!
Standing above the still warm bodies is none other than his older sister, Kasumi Uzumaki, bloodied kunai still in hand. Her face lacked it's usual cheer, instead replaced by an emotionless stare that held Boruto in place.
BORUTO: Kasumi... What the hell happened?! Why did you kill our parents and Himawari?!
KASUMI: I finally did it, my pathetic younger brother. I created a jutsu that finally allowed me to surpass our father, and I decided to test it the only way I knew how.
BORUTO: By killing him, Mom, and Himawari?!
KASUMI: Him, yes. The others... were a part of what comes next.
Boruto unconsciously took a step backwards at the way she said next
BORUTO: W-What comes next?!
KASUMI: "Now that I've killed Father, I am the strongest shinobi alive. The only people who can hope to stand against me are Otsutsuki Clan members and the cyborgs of Kara." she sighs "And that's just so incredibly boring to look forward to. All they rely on is their raw power or their cybernetic enhancements to carry them through battle. Once you figure out how to deal with those, they're disappointingly easy"
BORUTO: What does that have to do with Mom and Himawari?!
KASUMI: "Isn't it obvious? It's not about them. It's about you." she steps forward, causing him to step backwards again in fear "You are the only other person I can think of who is capable of reaching the level I'm at now. My killing them serves to motivate you to become stronger."
BORUTO: "I-I don't understand! This isn't like you at all! Where did this come from?! You aren't like this at all!"
KASUMI: The older sister you knew was only an act I used to gauge your potential. Now that I've attained this power and sufficient grasp of your abilities, I no longer need it.
BORUTO: DON'T FUCK WITH ME!
He charges wildly at her, but without even trying, Kasumi has him pinned down to the ground with both arms behind his back.
KASUMI: She shakes her head "Foolish. Isn't this what you wanted? To fight the older sister you wanted so desperately to surpass in order to prove yourself? You always talked about how you hated Father as well."
BORUTO: he struggles to no avail "NOT LIKE!" he starts to choke up. "N-Not like this at all..."
KASUMI: "Perhaps you need more motivation." she picks up a kunai and makes ready to stab him, causing him to scream. "Run, run away and cling to your pathetic life. Then one day, when you're just as strong as I am, come and stand before me!"
BORUTO: "NO! DON'T! YOU CAN'T-!"
Himawari... Snickers. Kasumi's lips twitch. Naruto groans, as Hinata and HImawari begin laughing.
KASUMI: gives up and begins laughing "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
NARUTO: "Himawari!"
HIMAWARI: "Sorry Daddy! Sorry Mommy! I couldn't-Heeheehee! Big Sister was just so... Lame!"
KASUMI: "AHAHAHAHAHA!"
BORUTO: "YOU-YOU-YOU BAS-!"
HINATA: "AHEM."
Boruto: "YOU... How could you-?!"
KASUMI: "Heeheehee! The look on your face!"
BORUTO: "THAT WAS FUCKED UP!"
HINATA: GLARE
BORUTO: "WELL IT WAS!"
KASUMI: "Yes it was! But it was hilarious!"
NARUTO: "Haaa... And that's why I'm still the prank master!"
HINATA: "Ahh... Happy Halloween, everyone. Let's have candy!"
BORUTO: "That was evil!"
NARUTO: "That is what Halloween is all about!"
HIMAWARI: "Mwahahahaha!"
Written with Wheeness.
