Author note: I don't own Naruto or Dbz they belong to their respective creators.
Also, sorry... When I said this wouldn't be a slow burn romance. What I actually meant is that Naruto and Kimora will be in a relationship, from the very start.
Sorry for the bland chapter.
Naruto Z.
Chapter 2
Twelve years later.
Friday June 16. 1:30 pm. Three days after the Mizuki incident.
Naruto's Apartment
Naruto smiled, as he walked out into the warm, sunny afternoon.
'So, I should be hearing from Kimora-chan at any moment now...' Naruto thought.
And right on que. Naruto felt her enter his mind and mindscape.
'Naruto-kun…I've just finished my chores... Are you ready to meet up? ' A soft and very familiar, feminine voice called out to him with her mind.
And Naruto's smile widened.
At feeling her presence, her chakra, and her happiness and love for him. Just like she could feel coming from him.
And they're very happy to share such a special bond with each other.
'I'm ready Kimora-chan! So do you want me to come to you... ' Naruto thought back eagerly.
And Naruto hears her giggling.
'Don't worry, I'll come to you...It'll be quicker that way.' Kimora thought back.
Naruto nodded.
'Ok! Dattebayo!'
And in a flurry of wind and leaves, his best friend/ beloved girlfriend, Hatake Kimora was there.
She stood at 4.8ft, compared to his 5ft height. Has C cup breasts and shoulder length white hair, in a bob cut style. She has a beautiful face, and bright silver eyes. And is wearing a white kimono blouse, a white, mid-thigh skirt and black sandals.
And Naruto's heart skip a beat, as he stares at his beautiful girlfriend. And then he's standing right in front of her and holding her hands. As he lets his feelings of love and happiness for her intermingled, with her mutual feelings for him
"Hi Kimora-chan! How's it going! Dattebayo! " Naruto yells cheerfully, with a happy smile on his face.
And Kimora smiled brightly at her boyfriend. A smile that Naruto loves.
"Hi Naruto-kun, I'm doing good...And how are you?" The white haired girl asked, as she hugs him tightly, and kisses his cheek. Then rests her head under his chin, with a happy sigh.
At this Naruto grins. And hugs her back tightly and kisses the top of her head, then nuzzles her hair.
" I'm doing great, now that you're here with me! Dattebayo!" Naruto says excitedly.
Kimora giggled.
"And I'm glad to hear that." Kimora says happily, and enjoyed cuddling with her boyfriend.
" We're done hiding." Kimora whispers to Naruto.
And Naruto smiles.
"Awesome." the boy cheered quietly, "Because, I really hated keeping us a secret! Dattebayo." Naruto whispered back, and kissed her hair again..
And Kimora nods slightly, while smiling against his neck, and kisses his neck.
An action that caused the boy to shiver, and the Hatake girl's smile to widen.
" I know you did, and I hated it too." Kimora agreed.
They stood there for a few minutes. Before Kimora moved, and pressed herself into her boyfriend's side, while resting her head on his shoulder.
"Let's get going Naruto-kun...You have an appointment with Hokage-sama to keep after all." Kimora said to her boyfriend. And prompting him to move.
And Naruto nodded with a smile. As he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and started walking with his beautiful girlfriend. With both of them ignoring the stares and glares from the villagers.
"Right...Let's go Kimora-chan! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.
Hokage's office. A half an hour later
Now Naruto and Kimora, were standing before Godaime Hokage, Hatake Sakumo, and his chief adviser, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Both of whom were seated. And Hiruzen was puffing on his smoking pipe.
And the young couple, stood shoulder to shoulder and holding each other's hand.
Much to the amusement of the two older Shinobi.
'Ah young love.' Sakumo and Hiruzen thought to themselves.
Then Sakumo smiles.
"Well, your Shinobi photo looks good Naruto-kun…And here I was expecting you'd try something…More flashy for your photo. "Sakumo finally comments, with a chuckle.
And Naruto smiles widely
" Thanks Hokage-jiji… And actually ...I had originally planned to pose menacingly, while wearing war paint on my face, and hands for my picture...Hehehe." Naruto laughed nervously, while scratching the back of his head, "But thankfully my…Kimora-chan, talked me out of it! Dattebayo!" Naruto loudly confessed. And blushing in embarrassment.
Causing Sakumo and Hiruzen to suppress smirks at hearing the blond haired boy's slip of the tongue
"And I was happy to help." Kimora smiled with a bkush, and suppressing a giggle. Also having caught her boyfriend's slip, and finding it funny how he corrected himself.
'Not ready to tell Grandpa we're dating yet, even though we agreed to stop hiding.' Kimora teased.
'Um...Nope, not ready yet! Dattebayo! '
Kimora just kept her smile up.
If Sakumo or Hiruzen noticed their brief silent communication they didn't show it.
"And it's a good thing Kimora-chan talked you out of it…Wouldn't you agree Hiruzen." Sakumo chuckled
Causing Kimora's blush to deepen.
"Indeed." Hiruzen agreed with a smile, " But I think Kimora-chan, only intervened to protect his dignity... Because she usually likes, and thinks it cute, when he pull those type of stunts." The elderly Sarutobi added, with a chuckle. "
And Kimora's face turns serious..
"And you are correct, on both accounts Sandaime-sama." Kimora nods.
While Naruto looked at his Saru-jiji in amazement.
"But how'd you know Saru-Jiji? Dattebayo?" Naruto asks loudly, and his head tilted in confusion.
And both Hiruzen and Sakumo chuckled this time. While Kimora let out a giggle.
" Just call it a gut feeling my boy." Hiruzen smiled.
And Naruto shrugs.
"Ok Saru-jiji, if you say so! Dattebayo!"
Then the Sandaime stands to his feet and faces the Godaime.
"Anyways, I think I'll be taking my leave… And do you want me to be there for the Jounin meeting? Hokage-sama. ." Hiruzen asks, and takes a drag on his pipe..
And Sakumo smiles.
"No...I can handle that myself. But I'll sent and ANBU to fetch you, if I need you're help."
And Hiruzen returns the smile.
" Thank you for your generosity Hokage-sama…."Hiruzen then looked at Kimora and Naruto, and still smiling, "And I'll see you both later, Naruto-kun, Kimora-chan." Hiruzen says.
"Bye Saruj-jiji/Sandaime-sama." Naruto and Kimora chorused.
Then Hiruzen was gone, disappearing via Shunshin.
With Hiruzen now gone. Sakumo smile turns predatory smile. At he regards his granddaughter and surrogate grandson
And Naruto and Kimora both gulped nervously, at the sudden shift.
'What's he...' Naruto and Kimora thought, but were interrupted.
"So Naruto-kun... When were you going to tell me, about you secretly dating my granddaughter hmm?" Sakumo smirked, "And no, your little slip of the tongue, just a moment ago wasn't what clued me in...And neither did the fact, that you were holding her hand the entire time, for that matter."
And it took a moment for the reveal to hit the couple, and Sakumo wasn't disappointed with the results
Naruto was blushing crimson, his eyes wide in shock, and splutters in embarrassment, . And Kimora wasn't much better off. Seeing as her shocked eyes were wide as saucers, and she too was blushing madly.
Much to Sakumo amusement.
'Yeah, their reactions didn't disappoint.' Sakumo thought to himself
" knew, Hokage-jiji! Dattebayo! " Naruto yells loudly. As he pointed his finger dramatically at the Hokage.
And Kimora sighed, as her shock slowly faded. And her blush receding.
"I should've known, you'd figure it out quickly grandpa." Kimora mumbled.
And they didn't bother trying to lie to deny it. They didn't want to.
"I did… And Hiruzen and Kagiri-chan know as well by the way. And know me and your mother support your relationship." Sakumo nodded with smile.
And Kimora sighs, and her shoulder slumped.
"I don't know why I'm surprised that Kaa-chan also knows. But I am." Kimora admits tiredly.
"And of course the old monkey already knows to! Damnit! Dattebayo! " Naruto growls. And his arm dropping to his side.
"And how long have you known Hokage-jiji?" Naruto asked, his tone resigned.
"From the very start of course."Sakumo smiles.
And then Sakumo's face becomes dead serious, which immediately gets the young couple's attention.
" But I hope, you'll consider going public with your relationship soon… Because, keeping a relationship secret is just as hard, if not harder than having an open one." Sakumo warns, and his tone serious.
And Kimora and Naruto both flinch at their grandfather's (grandfather figure in Naruto's case) warning.
Naruto sighs in frustration.
"I get it Hokage-jiji… That's why we decided to stop hiding! Dattebayo!" Naruto nodded excitedly in understanding. As he wraps an arm around his white haired girlfriend's waist, and holding her close, causing said girl to blush." And it's not like me and Kimora-chan, truly wanted to keep things a secret..."The blond haired boy sighs. " We just thought, (begrudgingly) that dating in secret for a while, would be a smart move... Considering my status in the village, and her dad, really not liking me...And do you have any idea, how long I've wanted to shout from the roof tops, that I'm dating the kindest, strong, and most beautiful girl! Dattebayo!" Naruto shouted in frustration, and his free arm flailed wildly.
And Kimora was now blushing crimson. But there was a big smile on her face.
"While that was over the top...Still thank you Naruto-kun." Kimora said quietly.
And Naruto smiled widely at her.
" Anytime Kimora-chan" Naruto whispered back
And Sakumo chuckled again at the display.
"Understandable, and I can't imagine how frustrating it would've been for both you and Kimora-chan..."Sakumo smiles, "Anyways, that'll be all for today… Since, I have a meeting with my Jounin in about one hour... But sometime soon I'll take you and Kimora-chan out to celebrate... How does that? "
And Naruto smiled widely at the offer.
"That sounds awesome Hokage-jiji! And I'll see you later! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.
And Kimora-chan smiles, just as widely as her boyfriend.
"That sounds great." Kimora agreed, "Bye Grandpa."
Que Konohamaru trying to assassinate the Hokage, and a man, who the young couple quickly found out was named Ebisu, showing up and scolds Konohamaru, before dragging him away by his ear.
But just before he leaves. Ebisu couldn't resist giving the couple a peace of his mind
"Kimora-sama, you shouldn't associate yourself with a thug like Uzumaki… You'll only tarnish your reputation if you do." Ebisu scolded her, and then he turned his attention to Naruto and glared at the boy. "And brat, you better wake up and realize that Kimora-sama's to good for the likes of you. "
And Kimora and Naruto both glared back at Ebisu.
"Screw you Glassesman! Dattebayo!" Naruto yells angrily, and gives Glassesman the bird.
"And with all due respect Ebisu-san, mind your own business on who I keep as friends or as a boyfriend." Kimora deadpanned and looked pissed.
Ebisu frowned at be ignored. But it's when he noticed the Hokage's reaction that gave him pause.
For Sakumo was smiling, a bone chilling smile at him. Causing the glasses wearing Jounin to nearly wet himself in fear.
And I'd appreciate if you'd not go criticizing my granddaughter's choice of boyfriend…' Or insult my surrogate grandson, Naruto-kun in front of me ever again…Because the consequences will be severe if you do… Am I understood Ebisu?" Sakumo said, his face now stern and serious.
And Ebisu nods rapidly.
" course… My apologizes Hokage-sama." Ebisu stuttered fearfully.
And Naruto, Kimora, and Konohamaru all snicker at Ebisu's pathetic plight.
Meanwhile Sakumo smiles pleasantly, "Good, you're free to go."
And Ebisu quickly leaves, while taking Konohamaru by the hand and dragging him along for the ride.
With Kimora and Naruto sighing in relief that he's gone.
Just outside the Hokage's office, moments later
Naruto and Kimora walk out of the Hokage's office, and walk down the hall, while holding hands.
"Jerk! Dattebayo!" Naruto says.
"I agree. " Kimora concurs.
And Naruto, sensing his girlfriend was still angry, even after glasses man left. Squeezes her hand.
"Are you alright Kimora-chan?" Naruto asked.
And Kimora huffs in annoyance.
I'm fine...But I really don't like that guy." Kimora said, referring to Ebisu.
And Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, I don't either!" Dattebayo!" Naruto loudly agrees.
Konoha's streets. A few minutes later.
Still holding hands, Kimora and Naruto walked side by side, down the street.
And both of them noticing the glares from the villagers, and hear their vile gossip about their relationship.
'Is that what they cooked up?' The young couple thought to each other.
'Like I would force Kimora-chan into dating me. How disgusting.'
'Like Naruto-kun would force me into dating him. How ridiculous!'
And while Naruto did his best to ignore it.
The Hatake girl on the other hand couldn't ignore it. And she was getting pissed, at hearing the slander directed at her boyfriend. As she glared back at the villagers, with an emotionless look and leaking a bit of her killing intent.
And this shocked the villagers, and frightened them. But surprisingly, a few looked ashamed.
'That's right, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.' Kimora thought darkly to herself, and hiding her thoughts, and feelings momentarily from her Naruto.
But she forced her dark feelings down, and locked eyes with her blond boyfriend and smiled at him.
"So, maybe we should quicken our pace Naruto-kun." Kimora suggested, while now ignoring the villagers. Like her boyfriend was doing, "Because, it seems like we're not wanted here…So I think it best that we quickly vacate this area." The white haired girl says loudly, and causing some villagers to flinch.
'And for the safety of the villagers, because if I stay here to much longer... I'm going to hurt someone.' Kimora darkly added in thought, with anger.
A thought that Naruto heard.
And Naruto nodded, with a smile... As he to looked around, as if just noticing the villagers, and he winked at her. And then, she knew he was about to do something… Rash.
"What are you …' Kimora began
Only to let out an "eep," when her boyfriend suddenly picks her up bridal style, and held her tight.
And her anger at the villagers was completely forgotten... As Kimora blushed slightly, and her heart raced, at her boyfriend's sudden action . As she unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
"W..what are you doing Naruto-kun?" Kimora stuttered slightly in surprise.
And Naruto smiled widely at her.
"Getting us out of here of course... Because like you said, we're not wanted here! Dattebayo!" Naruto replied loudly, and a wider smile on his face, "So our second usual spot?"
And Kimora smiled back, while looking her boyfriend in his eyes.
" Yes, our secondary usual spot." Kimora agrees, with a nod.
As she snuggles closer in her boyfriend's arms, and rests her head on his chest.
"Right! Hang on Kimora-chan! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed loudly.
As he dashed off, down the streets of Konoha.
Several minutes later.
And Naruto (with Kimora still in his arms.) Was now stands in a clearing, which is surrounded by forest, and near the foot of the Hokage's Monument.
This was their second favor spot. Next to sitting on the Yondaime's head together. And this is where they always train together.
"You can put me down, anytime you want Naruto-kun." Kimora smiled.
And smiling back, Naruto quickly set the white haired girl back onto her feet.
"Hehe… Sorry about that Kimora-chan." Naruto apologized, while scratching his head nervously, " I kinda got carried away! Dattebayo!"
And Kimora giggled.
"No worries…Besides it was fun..."Kimora smiled, with a tiny blush on her face. "So, are you up for a spar?" The white haired girl asks with a grin.
As she leaps twenty away from him, and enters her fighting stance..
And Naruto grins back at her.
"I'm always up for a spar! You know that! " Naruto exclaimed happily at his girlfriend.
As he put his hands together for the cross seal of the Kage Bushin no Jutsu.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Naruto then shouted.
Then three dozen shadow clones appeared in puff of smoke.
And Kimora's eyes widening in shock at the sight..
"Wow.. You can make that many shadow clones and not die , or even look winded! That's some stamina you got Naruto-kun!" Kimora said, with an impressed look.
And Naruto chuckled.
"And I can make a lot more…So shall we begin! Dattebayo!" Naruto said confidently.
Kimora nods, as her shock quickly wears off.
"Alright then…Tsubaki no Maki!" The white haired girl shouted. As she simultaneously created two bone short clubs from both her arms, and without needing to wait for her bones to regenerate.
And Naruto and his clones smiled, as they pull out a kunai In each hand. And assumed slightly sloppy fighting stances
"Let's get wild!" Naruto exclaimed loud.
As he mentally commanded, twenty of his clones to charge the white haired girl. And Kimora just smiled. As she dash at them in blur of speed.
And so, the Hatake girl danced, spun, and twirled. As she evaded, and redirected the clones slightly clumsily strikes. Before lashing out brutally with her bone clubs, and easily dispelling all the clones, who had been within her reach.
And the remaining sixteen clones, threw kunai at the Hatake girl.
Only for Kimora's arms to became a blur, as she easily deflected the rain of steel.
And as Naruto watched his girlfriend at work. He whistled appreciatively at seeing his girlfriend's display of skill and agility.
"Wow! That was awesome Kimora- chan! Dattebayo!" Naruto yelled excitedly.
And Kimora smiled again, "Thanks…But it's my turn now."
And dropping her bone clubs, to point her fingers at Naruto and his clones.
"Finger Drilling Bullets!" The white haired girl whispered. As she fired her fingernails at Naruto and his remaining clones. They were blunted, but still had enough force to dispel his clones.
As for the original Naruto, he was dodging the fingernail bullets, the best he could, and has his intercept the ones he couldn't dodge. As he then rolled, jumped , mid air flipped, and cartwheeled to get away.
And Kimora kept shooting at him, and soon his remaining clones had been all destroyed.
He then spotted a nearby large tree, and ducked behind it for cover, just as several more bullets hit his hiding place.
And as Naruto tried to make more shadow clones, when out of the corner of his eye he caught a blur of movement. And saw a pale palm, which now sported a foot long bone blade, rushing at him.
Reacting on instinct, the boy spun away to escape, and drew two kunai as he retreated . Only to be frantically blocking and dodging an instant later, as Kimora was again in his face, and attacking him rapidly with her bone blade palms.
And kunai and bone blade clashed against each in a repeatedly, in series of slashes, thrusts and parries
But despite his best efforts, most of Kimora's slashes got through, but only caused minor cuts to his orange jumpsuit.
"Did you really think, that I'd let you make more clones? Naruto-kun." Kimora asked, with sweet smile on her face. As she kept on slashing at him, and pushing him back.
A now slightly sweating Naruto, smiled back at his girlfriend. As he continued his frantic blocking and dodging.
"To be honest, I had hoped you wouldn't catch up to me… As fast as you did Kimora-chan!" Naruto admitted.
Then the white haired girl's knee suddenly lashed out, and hit the blond haired boy in the stomach, making a grunt of pain to escape the boys lips. Then the girl side kicked Naruto.
"Oopf," Naruto grunted again, and gritted his teeth. As he was sent skidding back twenty feet. With his feet tearing up ground .
The blond hair boy saw his girlfriend's bone blade palms rushing at him again, and he again blocked with his kunai. One high, and one low
And Kimora and Naruto were now deadlocked , kunai against bone blades. The boy gritted his teeth, as he struggled to hold his lover's bone blades at bay. However, despite his best efforts, Kimora's blades was inching closer towards his face, and stomach. And his kunai were beginning to crack.
Naruto then sighed, but there was a smile on his face, " I conceded, Kimora-chan."
And Kimora smiled back at him. As she retracted her blades into her palms, and then grabbed his hand, and started walking.
"Rematch." Naruto grinned.
"Sure" Kimora grinned back
And neither child, noticed a familiar white haired figure who was concealed in the trees.
For on a tree branch nearby, Kagiri smiled. As she watched her daughter and her self-appointed, adopted son, Naruto spar a second time.
One hour later, 2:30pm
Over the next hour the young couple sparred three more times, with Kimora winning 2 out of 3. But Naruto and his clones didn't give her easy wins, and managed to beat her once. And it took her a long time, and a lot of energy to win.
And now they were having fifth spar, which was just reaching it's end.
As Naruto tackled Kimora via his clone throw technique, in a desperate last move. And Kimora couldn't dodge in time, due to his sudden speed increase. Thus she got hit full force, and they were both sent flying along the ground.
And after rolling a couple times, for twenty feet or so, they finally coming to a stop. And Kimora looked up to Naruto on top of her, with a knife hand strike a millimeter away from her face.
The girl also found, that her boyfriend's clones had her surrounded, with their weapons at the ready.
And Kimora sighed, but she smiled. Being proud of her boyfriend for beating her again.
"I guess this is your win… And I think that's enough sparring for today. Great job." Kimora panted lightly and sweeting.
And Naruto also smiled, while also panting tiredly.
"Thanks, and you were awesome to Kimora-chan! Dattebayo! " Naruto exclaimed, as he hugged his girlfriend tightly, "But yeah, I think we can called it the day for today's training." The blond haired boy agreed, with a wide smile on his face.
And Kimora blushed at her boyfriend' praise. While wrapping her arms and legs around his neck and waist respectively. And then flipping them around, so she was now on top, and pressing herself tightly to him.
" And for my reward for winning the most matches… I want to finish what we started outside your apartment door not to long ago." The white haired girl said in a cute tone, and a smirk on her face.
And Naruto grinned up at her.
"Gladly! Dattebayo!" The blond haired boy eagerly retorted.
And his girlfriend giggled, as she move her face closer his, and kissed his lips. With him quickly kissing her back.
Clap, clap, clap
Flinching, Naruto and Kimora instantly pulled away from each other. And scanned the trees to spot the intruder.
And saw Hatake Kagiri, standing on a high branch of a tree. And was wearing a white kimono and black sandals.
"Kaa-chan?" Kimora asked in surprise.
While getting off her boyfriend, and standing up. Then offering her hand to help him up.
And the blond haired boy smiles, and happily accepted the offer. As he took his girlfriend's hand and pulled himself up to feet, and stands by her side.
And Naruto was also surprised to see his adoptive Kaa-chan. But smiles happily at seeing her. The woman who took care of him since he was a baby, and treated him as her own child. Even though she couldn't officially adopt him.
"Hello there Naruto-kun, Kimora-chan." Kagiri greeted with a smile.
As she dropped down from her perch.
"Hi Kaa-chan! Dattebayo" Naruto said excitedly, with a wave and bright smile.
"Hi Kaa-chan." Kimora also greeted, with a happy smile also on her face.
"So, how long have you been watching us Kaa-chan?" Kimora suddenly asked.
"From the very start, and good work on the spars both of you.." Kagiri congratulated, before grinning " And my you're both moving really fast aren't you, considering the fun you two had at the end.
And Kimora and Naruto blushed in embarrassment at being caught.
"But me and your Grandpa approve, so it's all good... All I ask of you, is that you take care of my little girl Naruto-kun." The white haired women teased, with a smile.
"Kaa-chan!" Kimora whined loudly, while still blushing "I can take care of myself you know!"
And Kagiri sighed.
"I know you can sweetheart, but Konoha Shinobi always look after each other. Please remember that and take it to heart." Kagiri said gently, and still smiling.
And Kimora nodded.
"I will Kaa-chan." Kimora relented. And understanding what her mom meant.
"And of course I'll protect her! Dattebayo! " Naruto shouted angrily, " Even though, I know she can take care of herself, and that it'll probably be the other way around, since she's strong! Dattebayo!" The blond haired boy, loudly added.
And Kimora smiled at him, for his faith in her. As did Kagiri.
Then Kagiri's face got serious.
And Naruto and Kimora both got nervous.
"Me, and my team are being sent out, on a mission tomorrow morning Kimora-chan…And I expect to be gone." Kagiri told them..
"I see." Kimora smiled sadly at her mother.
And Naruto hugged Kimora tightly to comfort her. With Kagiri walking over and hugging both children.
And Kagiri smiled at her children, one biologically hers, and the other in spirit.
"However, before I leave, I want to take you both out for ramen, to celebrate your graduation." Kagiri smiled."
And Naruto and Kimora both smiled widely.
"Sure Kaa-chan!" They said happily.
And Kagiri just laughed, as they all vanished in a Konoha Shunshin.
The Ramen Stand.
And Naruto, holding Kimora's hand, came rushing into the ramen stand. With Kagiri following closely behind them.
"Hi old man Teuchi, Ayame- neechan! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed. As he took a seat.
"Hello Teuchi-san, Ayame-chan." Kimora and Kagiri also greeted with smiles, as Kimora sat next to Naruto, on his left. While her mother sat on his right.
And Teuchi and Ayame smiled at their three favorite customers.
" Hello, Kagiri-san, Naruto-kun and Kimora. "Ayame smiled.
And Teuchi smiled warmly at his three favorite customers.
"Hi there... So what can I get you three today?" Teuchi asked.
"5 extra large miso, chicken, and beef ramen! Dattebayo!" Naruto immediately shouted.
"1 large shrimp ramen for me." Kimora added.
"And I'll get 1 large veggie ramen please." Kagiri said.
And Teuchi nodded.
"Coming right up… Ayame-chan come, I'll need help with this order" Teuchi said.
Ayame nodded.
"Coming dad."
Now it being only the trio in the ramen stand. Kagiri could have a chat with her daughter and her boyfriend, and have bit of privacy.
'I guess now is a good a time as any, to confirm whether they're going to take the next leap in their relationship or not.' Kagiri thought to herself with a smile.
A smile that caused Naruto and Kimora to sweat nervously.
"So, Kimora-chan, since you and Naruto-kun are dating, and have been for over a year... Do you plan to move in together? Kagiri asked "Seeing as you're now Shinobi, you are legally allowed too. " .
At this both Naruto and Kimora blushed lightly. And they both reach out and took each other's hand and held on tightly.
'Should we tell her' Naruto asked his girlfriend via mind- link.
And Kimora gave a mental nod. As she holds his hand tighter.
'Yes, because she already obviously suggests... So, it's better to just tell her now, and get it over with.' Kimora thought back.
And Naruto mentally nodded, along with telepathically sighing.
'Good point!' Naruto agrees, " But can you be the one to tell Kaa-chan! Dattebayo!' The blond haired boy mentally pleaded.
And Kimora giggled within his mind.
'Don't worry Naruto-kun, I'll tell her.' Kimora thought back, with a mental smile.
And from Kagiri's perspective, she'd always found their non verbal interactions to be fascinating.
'It's like they can communicate with each other without speaking. Kagiri thought to herself. But focuses on her daughter, as she answers her question.
"That's correct Kaa-chan. We plan to move in together...If we have to pass our Jounin -sensei's test that is." Kimora began.
And Naruto nods at what his girlfriend said. The blond haired boy is also unfazed at the mention of there being another test. Since Kimora had warned him about that already.
" And we talked it out about a few months ago. So it isn't like a spur of the moment kinda thing! Dattebayo!" Naruto added.
And Kagiri smiles teasingly again.
"Well, even though you're still rushing ahead to live together. And you have my approval and I imagine your grandpa's as well.
And Kimora nodded.
Then Naruto frowned in concern. And both Kagiri and Kimora noticed immediately
"But, I have a big secret about myself that I have to tell you, before you commit to anything Kimora-chan... A secret that might change your mind about me, and make you not like me anymore." Naruto said sadly, as he hung his head.
And Kagiri and Kimora both were shocked at what they just heard, but for different reasons. And though Kagiri hid her shock, her daughter couldn't.
'What's he talking about?' Kimora thought, 'Why would he think, I'd never abandon him like that.' The white haired girl thought, and slightly hurt.
And Naruto heard her thoughts. But didn't reply, due to shame.
But Kagiri on the other hand knew why her surrogate son had said what he said.
'So, he's going to tell her... And so soon after he found out.' Kagiri thought to herself.
But Kimora quickly recovered, and held his hand tighter. With a determined look on her face.
" Don't worry Naruto-kun... I won't let anything you tell me, to affect the way I see you. Nor will I leave you, regardless what you tell me. " Kimora assured him in serious tone, while giving him a reassuring smile.
'I wonder what secret it could be? Because, I can feel how scared Naruto is about telling me… So it must be a big one.' Kimora thought through their mind-link, but didn't pry.
And the blond haired boy smiled brightly back his girlfriend .
"Right! Dattebayo! " Naruto agreed, with a smile, and his smile turned sad, "And I'm sorry about hurting your feelings.." The boy apologized, knowing he had hurt her and feeling guilty about it. Then his smile returned slightly, "But don't worry… I'll tell you before this day's out... That's a promise! Dattebayo!" The blond haired added.
And Kimora nodded.
"Ok. And you're forgiven" The white haired girl smiled
After that they made light conversation. And Naruto told his girlfriend, and adopted Kaa-chan how he graduated.
And both Kimora and Kagiri laughed themselves to death, at hearing their Grandpa/ Father in Law was knocked out by Naruto using his Sexy Jutsu.
"That was mean, to do that to Grandpa Naruto-kun." Kimora chided her boyfriend, while still laughing.
Naruto, who was also laughing. responded.
"But in my defense, I didn't think it would work! Dattebayo!" The blond haired boy exclaimed.
And Kimora just shook her head.
And no, neither Kimora nor Kagiri, thought any less of the blond haired boy for creating the Sexy Jutsu.
It was not long after Naruto told his story, that their meals arrived.
One hour later. Outside the Ramen Stand.
"I'll see you both when I get back, and please look after each other…And I love you both very much."Kagiri smiled.
"I love you to Kaa-chan." Naruto and Kimora chorused, as they hugged their Kaa-chan. And after a moment Kagiri let go.
"Please come back save." Kimora added.
"Yeah, come back safe Kaa-chan! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed.
And Kagiri smiled at them again, and a moment later vanished in a Konoha Shunshin.
Kimora then turned to look at her blond haired boyfriend. And wordlessly took his hand into hers, then pulled him along.
And Naruto quickly matched pace, and was now walking next to her. And wrapping his arm around her waist and again holding her close.
"You wanted to tell me something, so let's go and have a talk.." Kimora whispered, as she snuggled into his side and, and again rested her head on his shoulder.
Fifteen minutes later. The Hokage's Monument.
Naruto sat on the Yondaime's head, and motioned for Kimora to do the same.
But Kimora smiled down at him, as she slowly sat down in his lap, and wrapping her arms around his neck.
As he wrapped his arms around her waist in return and held her tightly.
"I prefer to sit like this with you. You know that." The white haired girl admitted, and still smiling.
And the boy smiled at her.
"And I can't say no, to having my beautiful girlfriend sitting in my lap." Naruto said, as he kissed her hair.
At this, Kimora blushed and smiled at him.
"So...You wanted to tell me something important, something you wrongly think will make me leave you." Kimora asked, her face now serious
And Naruto sighed, and his face became serious as well "Right...So you remember the Kyubi's attack? And how the Yondaime was said to have killed it."
And the white haired girl nodded.
"Hard not to... It's common knowledge really." Kimora replied.
While wondering why her boyfriend brought up a widely known, and tragic event in Konoha's recent history.
And Naruto nodded solemnly.
"Right, well that was a lie...The Yondaime couldn't kill it...Because you can't kill a Bijuu using normal methods." Naruto explained.
And this shocked Kimora... But before she could ask any questions, the blond haired boy continued.
"The only option the Yondaime had was to seal it away…" And here Naruto paused," "And he sealed it inside of me." The blond haired boy revealed tearfully.
And Kimora gasped, as her eyes widened in surprise.
"So, that's why the villagers hate you…Because those bastards don't understand that you're the jailer, and not the jailed." Kimora angrily spat, as she hugged Naruto tighter.
And Naruto's eyes widened in shock, and he began to cry. As he also hugged his girlfriend tightily.
And saying thank you over and over again.
And after a few moment of silence, the blond haired boy found his voice again.
"You don't hate me...I'm so happy that you don't hate me" Naruto whispered in small voice.
And Kimora's heart broke at hearing and seeing her boyfriend look so fragile, that now tears were falling from her eyes as well .
"No, I don't hate you…I could never hate someone, because of something you had no control over." Kimora answered tearfully.
"And are you're sure you still want to live with me? Despite knowing you might get hated by the villagers." Naruto asked with a sob.
And Kimora nodded.
" I'm sure, and no, I don't give a damn what the villagers think of me … I still want to be with you, live with you, and will never abandon you." A teary eyed Kimora quickly declared.
And as his blue eyes locked with her silver ones. Naruto could sense she was truly sincere.
And a wide and relieved smile came to Naruto's face.
"Then my home, is now your home my beautiful Shiro-Hime! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, with tears still falling from his eyes, but now they were tears of happiness and relief.
And a now blushing Kimora (at the nickname and being called beautiful) smiled brightly at the blond haired boy, while still crying.
Then she suddenly kissed him on the lips and he kissed her back.
"Thank you Naruto-kun." Kimora said, and again rested her head on her boyfriend's chest and relaxed.
"No, it's I who should be thanking you Shiro-hime. For always believing in me, and always being there for me. " Naruto whispered to her, as he ran his hand through her hair, and held her tightly around her waist.
Which caused the white haired girl to smile and hum, at the pleasant feeling of his hand running through her hair.
'I love you.' They both thought to each other.
The Hokage's Tower. Nearly 2:30 pm
The Jounin-senseis chatted quietly amongst themselves. (except Kakashi, who was lean against a wall, by himself. ) As they waited for the Godaime Hokage to arrive. They did not have to wait long.
As a few moments later, in a flurry of wind, and leaves the Godaime Hokage, Hatake Sakumo appeared in the room.
The Jounin immediately stood at attention, except for Hiruzen who remained seated.
"At ease my fellow Shinobi..." The Godaime ordered.
And the Jounin present did as ordered.
"I'll now be handing you your Genin team assignments... Please step forward, as I call your names. And you're free to leave after you've been called." The Godaime said.
Thirty minute later.
The Godaime, quickly handed out the Genin team assignments.. Though Sakumo hesitated with the next team assignment, as he looked at the folder.
Team 7 was written on the folder.
'Hmm... Well, my son won't be happy about this, that's for sure... Since he's sort of overprotective of his daughter, but is lazy about it.' Sakumo thought to himself in amusement.
"Ok, the next Genin team assignment...Which is team 7, is led by Kakashi." The Godaime ordered.
And Kakashi kept is expression blank as he took the folder and nearly cursed out loud at seeing one of names of his Genin.
'Sigh, …'Why on Earth would Hokage- sama give me that brat Naruto. When he knows I really don't like him?' Kakashi thought to himself.
Sure, Naruto was the son of his Sensei, but as Kakashi watched Naruto grow up, and Kakashi grew to greatly dislike the boy, for his childish antics and bratty behaviour. As far as Kakashi was concerned the blond haired brat was an a disgrace to his father's name and to the Shinobi way, for not taking his training seriously.
'And what's worse, he could get my Musume killed with his stupidity.' And how did he pass again?' Kakashi mentally adds. While suppressing his growing anger..
Also, Kakashi doesn't leave right a way,
And seeing his son was still there, Sakumo raised an eyebrow in surprise. And gained looks of interest from Asuma and Kurenai.
"Is there a reason your sticking around Jounin Kakashi?" The Godaime asked.
And Kakashi nods.
"I just wanted to get something off my chest with you father, when we are alone." Was all Kakashi said.
" I see, then you may stay if you wish…"The Godaime nods.
" The next team assignment, is Team 8... Which is to be a dedicated tracking team, due to having an Inuzuka, a Hyuga and an Aburame being on the same team. Team 8 will be led by Kurenai."
"Thank you Hokage-sama… I will be sure to train them to the best of my ability." Kurenai said graciously, and she was happy to get the team she requested.
A moment later Kurenai disappeared in a Shunshin.
" Asuma, you'll be leading Team 10, which is the new Ino/Shika/Cho formation. " The Godaime said,
And Asuma nodded.
"Thank you Hokage-sama. And don't worry, I'll be sure to whip them into shape." Asuma smiled, and happy that he got the team he requested
The Godaime smiles.
"And I'm sure you will Asuma-san." The Godaime said.
Asuma then vanishes in a Shunshin a moment later.
Kakashi then looked as his father.
After team 10, Sakumo only had a few more teams to assign. And soon it was only the father and son standing in the office.
And for a few moment, the father and son duo, just stared at each other. Before Sakumo broke the silence.
"So son, you wanted to have a word with me?" Sakumo prodded.
And Kakashi nodded.
"I do...I'm just informing you now, with the Uzumaki brat becoming my student...I'm going to make life difficult for him, until he agrees to leave my daughter alone or he shapes up." Kakashi warns, before leaving via Shunshin.
Now alone , Sakumo sighs. And lowered his head in disappointment of his son's behaviour.
"I see...In that case, I guess it's now time for Gohan-kun and Naruto-kun to meet...Because Naruto-kun will need the best training he can get., to impress my idiot son.. " Sakumo said to himself.
Chapter end
Author note:
Also, while the ending of chapter should've been hint enough. I'm just going to come out and confirm anyway. Which is, Naruto will follow DBZ logic in regards to gaining quickly gaining power, and learns skills and special techniques very quickly.
