This is my first ever NaruHina Fanfic. I like the couple very much second to ShikaTema. I have decided to make a fanfic about the events after The Last Movie and it covers before Boruto. This story is pure fanfiction. If there is any similarities to other stories, my apologies but it's not my intention and I swear I never copied it from any authors' work since I never read a single Naruto or Boruto Fanfic. I hope NaruHina fans will like it. You can leave a comment or send me a private message for any suggestions to improve my story.
Amidst the dangerous attempt to breakthrough the walls of Earth, it didn't stop Naruto to break out together with the woman he loved since childhood without realizing it. The woman he always cared about, the woman he respected, the woman he believed in, and the woman who had shown him unconditional love that he never used to know and feel since birth.
When he was a kid, he used to be wandering around the village being teased, criticized and discriminated by its people because of the demon fox living inside him. Despite being dissed by people, he never lost sight to an optimistic tomorrow and served those criticisms as a purpose to make people acknowledge him and now he was acknowledged by people as a hero who saved them from despair.
The woman who was a bit nervous through his actions managed to achieve confidence that he would be careful breaking through those walls.
Hinata always believed in him. He gave her courage and hope when she was so down and almost giving up. She was shy, kind, and soft-hearted and turned out to be her weakness. Those weakness which changed her after being a prisoner of a life she didn't want to have. She was like a prison on a cell of obscurity but she overcame those because of Naruto. She grew up to be a splendid Kunoichi of the Leaf.
The moon and the stars were so bright that evening. Only their shadows could be seen. They held hands, their bodies moved closer to each other and their lips met. A very precious moment for lovers who were deeply in love...
A pleasant evening on the Leaf Village. Naruto was walking on the village's street after coming back from a mission. He was kind of anxious and also felt discomfort. He was in a deep thought as well like a kid who had something to ask on someone but was shy to tell him. He kept on walking towards the very familiar apartment to him. He was in the front of the apartment but was still uneasy. He was walking back and forth over and over again searching for words to say. He stopped and scratched his head. After a while, he started walking back and forth again.
The door opened. Both him and the man inside were surprised, shouted and fell down. They looked at each other, scratches their heads and burst out laughing.
They stood up, Naruto felt uneasy again and looked away. The man wondered why he acted that way towards him.
Instead of asking him what's wrong the man said...
"What brought you here?"
Naruto looked at him faking a laugh with his hand scratching his head...
"Ha-ha-ha.hmm. uh..nn" he answered.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT IDIOT?" He shouted at him feeling annoyed.
Naruto was still stuttering speaking to him.
"Umm.. ummm.. let's go grab some ramen, my treat. I just got home from a mission and maybe we could talk about something for while too. I have something to tell you...ha-ha-ha..." he said while laughing awkwardly.
The man raised one of his eyebrows in confusion.
"Talk about what? Is that something very important? I have important things to be done tonight.." he replied to him.
"Is that so...?" Naruto replied with a low voice and a down shoulders.
"Are you okay, Naruto?" He asked him with a worried tone.
"No, it's okay maybe we could talk about it some other time. Sorry for bothering you tonight I thought you have free time he-he-he. See you!" He said turning his back to the man.
"Wait up!" He called at him. Naruto turned to face him. He had his calm face while the man with a serious face.
"I think I could manage to have a short while. Let's go grab some ramen. Remember it's your treat." He said and winked at him.
Naruto smiled at him feeling so relieved.
"Yay! Thank you so much Iruka-sensei!" He blurted with a cheerful face.
"Two extra-large miso with pork cutlets please!" Naruto ordered.
Iruka was silently staring at him smiling. After a few minutes, two miso bowls were served in front of them. Naruto drooled upon gazing on a big miso bowl in front of his eyes.
"Thanks for the food!" Naruto muttered and started eating. Iruka picked some from his bowl too and started munching.
"What do you want to tell me?" Iruka asked.
"Hmm. Can we talk umm.. about it later? Ummm.. I'm enjoying the ramen..." Naruto replied while munching the food inside his mouth.
"You're right, you can't talk properly while eating." He replied.
Burp!
Naruto burped while rubbing his tummy. He looked so glutted. Iruka was silently staring at him.
"You know what Iruka-sensei, it's been a while since we come here eating together." He muttered.
Iruka's expression was surprised upon hearing those words from Naruto. Iruka was one of the first people to acknowledge Naruto. He treated him like a family. He was a family to him. Both of them grew up all by themselves after the incident of the nine-tailed demon fox attacking the village. Both their parents were killed during the time.
Iruka reminiscing the events when the nine-tailed fox assaulted the village and his parents died. He used to hate Naruto at first because of that but, later on he realized that he was like him at all. He looked at him while he was rubbing his full tummy.. he secretly smiled at him.
A moment later, they waved goodbye to Ayame and Teuchi. They walked towards nowhere after leaving the Ichiraku. Iruka spoke breaking the silence.
"You have something important to tell me, right?"
Naruto was shocked from a sudden question from him. He, again felt uneasy.
"Hmm. Uh.. yeah he-he-he" Naruto replied while rubbing his nose.
"Are you okay Naruto? You look so disturbed." Iruka muttered.
"Huh? Hmm. Not really. I.. umm.. I just don't know where to start honestly..." he blurted.
"Just tell me already. I have something important to do too remember?" He demanded.
Iruka wondered. Gazing at him suspiciously.
Naruto paused for a moment and took a deep sigh.
"Iruka-sensei..." he started.
Iruka was patiently listening to him.
"I am getting married soon, ya know?" He said smiling at him.
"You should get married soon too.." he added.
Iruka dropped his jaw at his words. He was so shocked at his revelation. He could not believe that his student and the grown up man he treated as a family was going to have his own family anytime soon. His expression changed. Iruka smiled at him. He tapped his shoulder. Naruto was surprised by his gesture, he silently gazed him.
"Naruto, you had grown a splendid man. I am so proud of you. Now that you are going to start a new chapter of your life you should be more responsible and make sure you will take care of Hinata and make her happy." Iruka muttered.
Naruto slightly smiled and spoke.
"Aight! That's why I must enjoy the remaining days of my life being single like eating ramen, go out with some friends, or maybe drink some alcoho--" Iruka didn't let him finish his sentence and smacked him on the head.
"Idiot! Don't let yourself get used to drinking alcohol and give Hinata problems in the future. Look you are now acting irresponsible. You should be helping her in the preparations. Come with me and we will apologize to Hinata and to her family." Iruka muttered while dragging Naruto towards the Hyuga's premises.
"Wait up, Iruka-sensei!" Naruto screamed.
Iruka let go of him and turned his back from Naruto. He was upset.
"I didn't teach you such manners, why are you acting like that?" Iruka blurted.
Naruto's expression changed. He was a bit sad, their backs facing each other.
"I'm sorry... I don't mean it that way but..." Naruto paused and bit his lower lip.
"I am meaning to ask you..." he said with a low tone.
"Will you come at the wedding as my father? Naruto asked.
"That's what I am going to tell you..." he revealed.
He left the man with a scar on his nose in awe. He closed his lips and took a deep sigh. A fresh warm drops of tears were flowing on his cheeks. He wiped his face and turned his back to a silent Naruto, he was staring his back.
"Leave it to me!" Iruka replied.
Naruto turned to face him.
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei." Naruto smiled at him.
