Chapter 10
A.N: I am thinking of featuring Itachi and Naruto's daughter in one of the future chapters but I haven't decided the name I am between the names Minako, Mito, and Mikoto what do all of you think is the best name.
Temari Nara Part 3
"Wau." said the pink-eyed woman" I had never heard that part of the fight."
"Neither did I until after the Fourth Shinobi War," said Tsunade with a sad smile in her face and a bit of an empty look in her face that disappeared rather quickly.
That showed those who knew her that her son's death had become easier for her over the years and they breathed a sigh of relief for her that death had almost destroyed her so they were glad that it had become easier.
"If you want to see how good a shinobi was, see the people he or she trained and how they became?" said the Tsuchikage" Everyone could become a great shinobi but very few can become great teachers and that's harder."
"Well Kakashi is a great shinobi," said Tsunade looking at her grandson with pride in her eyes making the future Hokage blushed through no one could see it because of the mask.
Sakumo looked at his son and Sakumo wanted to laugh so much at the look on his normally stoic he was looking everywhere but at his adoptive grandmother and father who both had proud looks in their faces directed at him.
He himself was never good with the proud looks and good words his biological father was not the friendliest person in the world through he knew he had been proud of him and he was his son so he never became great at it no matter how often he got them from the two of them.
"I didn't mean only him and you know it." said the oldest Kage present
"What do you mean?" asked the future Tsuchikage
The female Hokage folded her fingers lowered her chin on two of them and looked her in the eye and said" Who do you think helped Ibiki Morino to perfect his torturing and interrogation techniques making him the second most feared and second-best interrogator in history, who do you think helped Maito Gai become the taijutsu master that he is now surpassing almost everyone with his skill, or who taught Asuma Sarutobi how to use his Wind Release making him a better wind user than many in Suna and one of the best Wind Users in history only being surpassed by a few and his chakra blades training helping him to become the shinobi he became a shinobi so good that won him in his youth a place in the Twelve Guardian Ninja. Who do you think thought Kurenai Yūhi illusions so great that many Uchiha had trouble replicating or even breaking them let alone winning against her?"
"Really?" everyone especially their students looked at them
"Yes," said Asuma" Wind affinity is an extremely rare affinity in Konoha, only a hand full of people have it and even fewer can use it with Minato-sensei being the most powerful of them all and if I wanted to use it he was the only one who could teach me and he was also willing to do it."
This time everyone turned to the blond-haired Hokage with curious looks" Yes I have Wind affinity which I have inherited from my father only and it's the kind of chakra, I use the most because if that." Temari looked at him so he was a Wind user like her and according to the other man (who apparently was the son of the Third Hokage) he was the strongest she wanted to know just how good he was like everyone she had heard stories about him and wanted to know how much of it was true and how it wasn't.
"Yeah he is the best Wind user right now through even in the future he is pretty high in the list."
"Really there is some better Wind User than him. Who?" asked Shikaku
The future woman smiled and said" Your grandson is pretty high up in the list." and laughed at the look in his face at that and she wasn't the only one of his friends who was doing the same thing while Shikamaru was blushing with his laughing too.
'He is kind of cute.' through Temari before shaking her head at to get rid of the thought she shouldn't be thinking something like that for someone younger than her.
"Where did my grandson get the Wind Chakra abilities?" asked Shikaku
"His mother." was the answer he got
"I sure hope through Ibiki hasn't become a really mean interrogator through." said the Fourth, turning his head at the man in question with a look in his eyes that made the fearless interrogator gulp the man in front of him was the only person he feared and not in a way that he could hurt him because that was true but he didn't want to disappoint the man he was the closest thing to a father he never had.
The people who worked for him looked at the man they had never seen that look on his face and never thought they would ever see it, after all, he was fearless and didn't care what everyone thought of him but they understood they had the same thing regarding the Yondaime Hokage everyone wanted to make the man proud and those who were his students or close to him tried even harder to make him proud.
"No, I am an angel," he said smiling slightly almost impossible to see but the blond-haired man knew it was there
The man huffed and said," Yeah, just as much as I am." giving him a smile so bright it made the sun look pale in comparison
Everyone shook their head 'No you aren't an angel but you are pretty close.' everyone who knew him thought to themselves
"I guess you are right they are really good shinobi in their respective fields." said Kurotsuchi turning to the Wind Mistress, she asked," So Temari how is your relationship going?"
The youngest blond blushed and tried to hide it while glaring at the future Tsuchikage and saying" We do not have any kind of relationship besides being good friends."
"Yeah, so the fact that he glares at every guy that comes in a walking distance of you is just that he is a really close friend and not that he is jealous." teased Kankurō his older sister he really enjoyed do it.
"Yeah," continued Kurotsuchi" and you glare at every girl that so much as look at him the wrong way. In your opinion at least."
"He is just easily manipulated and some cruel woman would take advantage of him that's why I am careful as to who can get close to him and he doesn't glare at every guy that comes with on walking distance of me just a few that he clearly thought had bad intentions."
The Temari in the past was blushing while Tsunade was smiling remembering Dan and her doing a very similar thing once upon a time Dan was thinking the same exact thing.
"Of course, not he just glares at everyone who isn't his friend or us," said Gaara pointing to himself and Kankurō while smirking at the blush on his older sister's face the smirk isn't like the one, he had in the past it was teasingly instead of mailing or dark.
"I don't know what you are talking about." she was glaring at everyone who was laughing but there was a small blush in her face that made everyone just laughed louder and harder.
Tsunade turned a smirk on the younger blond and said" Of course the two of you are just friends so you are going to help me convince him to accept one of those marriage propositions that I have lined up for him. Right?" she continued smirking and did, even more, when she saw her rise from her seat and the angry, shocked and hurt look in her eyes.
When she saw the look in her Hokage's eyes, she sat down and asked:" How did you know?"
"So, I really have feelings for whoever this guy is?" asked Temari
"Well," started Hinata" You did end up married to him so I would say yes." as she finished she smirked at the future Nara Matriarch
The medical-nin smiled a knowing smile and said" The look in your eyes. And besides everyone but he knows you love him and the other way around." she stopped for a while and then decided to say something else" And also, I was in the same position you are now a long, long time ago."
The Suna Kunoichi snorted before saying" Are all guys that oblivious?"
She shrugged and answered" All the ones I've known yes. Through they were worse." at the younger bond's disbelieving look she continued" You have met my youngest grandson where do you think he got that part of him."
The teal-eyed woman chuckled she was right her youngest grandson was the most obvious man in the entire world" They couldn't have been that bad right."
Tsunade smiled remembering her fiancé and son shaking her head she said:" No they were worse." but she was smiling she loved them very much and she found that side of them cute at least until other people tried to take advantage of them then she became angry at the person in question.
Dan and Minato had their arms crossed looking very similar to each other glaring at the woman through only Shikamaru saw the similarities between the blue-haired man and his father's best friend." I was not that bad." he told his fiancé
She looked at him in the eye and said:" And how did the two of us got together?"
The older man started thinking and said" I…right I guess you are right. But you were a lot younger than me and the granddaughter of the First Hokage so it wasn't really right for me to do the first move."
The woman snorted" You were oblivious and so was our son and I am guessing my youngest grandson is too right?" she asked her future granddaughter-in-law who nodded smiling it was a cute side of him through it could become a problem sometimes" Figures." murmured the older blond but she was smiling.
Mito turned to her granddaughter and asked:" Why did you have to ask her about your youngest grandson?"
Golden-brown eyes turned to green and said" No one knew I even had a son that was done to protect him from people who wanted revenge on grandfather the same thing was done with my youngest grandson after my son died. If he had lived it wouldn't have been a problem but because he died it would put my grandson in danger." her eyes then turned hard as she said," and there is nothing more important to me than my grandsons' safety both of them I just hope he forgives me for not being there for him."
"You were." said the future Hinata getting a look from the woman in question" You did you raised him until the day he went to the Academy."
"Yes, and I sealed those memories when he entered Academy."
"You did that to protect him Tsunade and everyone knows it." Hinata smiled at her grandmother-in-law she would have done the same thing for her children and grandchildren too if she was in the same place as she was" You were between a rock and a hard place you did what you had to do and he understands and doesn't blame you and never will." she smiled at the woman reassuring and got a smile in return.
"I know I shouldn't believe you but as you said I have met your grandson." she paused and looked at the older woman before asking" How did you do it?" at the questioning look, she took a deep breath and asked again" How did you make him realize he loved you? I would have asked my mother but I know my father never loved her and well she is dead. And as much as Baki is a very important person in my life there is only so much he can help with that."
The Kazekage and his wife were a bit sad yes it was true they didn't love each other but they did love their children and none of them would be there for them when they really needed them.
Baki was feeling guilty he couldn't help the girl who was like a daughter to him but at least he was still in her life.
"I will answer you but let's just finish this meeting," she said smiling at the younger girl she had been in her positions a long time ago but she still remembered like it was yesterday
"Thank you," said Temari shyly blushing a bit
Her parents turned to give the future Hokage a grateful smile at least someone was there to guide her.
The conversation then turned to politics everything was going good there was peace in the five Great Nations which made everyone happy that was until the preparations for the Anniversary of the Fourth Shinobi War was mentioned the war had been three years ago but this would be the first time they organize the festivals in remembrance of those who died.
"We can't make them festivities on the exact same date as the war ended you all know that right." the other Kage nodded
"Yes, we were planning on doing it a week after the actual date." Said the Raikage
"Why would we make it after the actual date?" asked the Raikage
"Because of the fact, the war started on October 8th and ended on October 10th and no citizen of Konoha would participate in anything on that last date," answered Hinata
"Why?" asked Hashirama looking at his future great-great-granddaughter-in-law curiously" Didn't we lost shinobi too?"
"Yes, many," she said remembering everyone they had lost not only during those two days but also before leading to that war" but October 10th is also the anniversary of the Kyuubi attack and the anniversary of the Fourth Hokage death and there is nothing else allowed to happen on that date. Even in my time when he has been dead for almost eighty years what they had done for the past twelve years happen again."
"And what exactly is that?" asked the Yondaime Hokage giving everyone a hard look the others were curious too.
"Well if someone dies (Even if the person in question is a hero of the village) or is born in the week previous, during or after the Kyuubi attack those records are altered so that it doesn't coincide with his death. The week previous, during or after everyone wears only black and in the exact place, he died everyone puts flowers there, on October 10th we actually thought about planting flowers there but no one wanted as they wanted to put the flowers themselves so we forgot it and continued with the former rituals like the fact that in those weeks the shops only sell his favorite things or that on October 10th there isn't a Hokage on Konoha. The only thing during that time are the festivals and everything else in his honor. The only time the remembrance in his honor wasn't done on the same date was the day of the Fourth Shinobi War and even then, we did everything for him before burring the dead of the war. Only one person has his birthday on that date and that's Naruto."
"Why?" asked Minato honestly confused he didn't care about being remembered and he considered an offense on everyone else putting him before the others.
"Because you are a very well-liked person not only Hokage that should have been clear seeing what they have written in your grave." he again gave her confused looks and this time he was right he had been dead because he was alive, he would have strongly disapproved of the writing
'Minato Namikaze The Yellow Flash, The Yondaime Hokage. A son, father, and friend to us all. Our beloved protector. Our god. He will live forever in our mind and hearts as our hero.' she chuckled to herself yes her father-in-law wouldn't like it.
"That's better I had quite a lot complains form everyone to not make the festivals on the same date as the anniversary of the Kyuubi attack and of course you are invited too." she said the others" But I am warming you the food during those days is very limited."
"Really the term-limited is an understatement," said Kakashi
"I don't see why you are complaining you like Ramen are the others I worry about the ones who don't like it," said Tsunade smiling at her grandson
"There is nothing wrong with liking a certain type of food," he said crossing his arms reminding her of when he was younger and would insist, he was right even when he wasn't and she couldn't help but chuckle quality.
"All right, all right how about we continue with the politic talks so that our citizens can't say that we don't do anything." the other chuckled and the talk again turned to politics and plans becoming boring for everyone other than the Kages.
