Disclaimers: Naruto isn't mine and it will never be.

Author: Okay then! Why are the mother's dead? Well... the other shinobi's MUST have a child but I found out that I could pair them with no girl. Sasuke has Sakura, Shikamaru has Ino, Naruto has Hinata, and Lee has Ten Ten (Yes, they're a couple here). The other boys need a wife you know, but I think I'd better not put their wives. Sakura and Hiana (OC) were both dead but with apparent reasons. The others do not. Well I can't just use the same excuse over and over again so let's just say that the other mothers were dead for a certain reason. There. Did I get it clear? Okay then! Arigato for the reviews! I appreciate it.

Chapter 4:

"Naruto-kun?"

"Hai Hinata-chan?" Naruto tilted his head a little to look at his lover. Hinata smiled at him. "Nothing. I'm just happy to say your name."

They walked together a little more until they passed a huge cherryblossom thee that was currently in bloom. "Sugoi!"

Hinata went towards the tree as a petal fell on her hand. "Sugoi! Naruto- kun, come here. Look. The sakura petals are so beautiful."

Naruto placed his hands inside his pocket and walked towards Hinata. He looked at the falling petals and smiled. "They are."

"I'm glad you agreed with me." Hinata said, not taking her gaze off the petals. "But you are wrong with one thing."

Hinata looked at him in confusion. "Nani?" Naruto looked at her and kissed her lips gently. "Nothing is as beautiful as you, Hinata-chan. Nothing."

Hinata blushed as she smiled slightly. "Arigato Naruto-kun." Naruto merely smiled as he looked directly at Hinata's eyes. "Hinata, under this cherryblossom tree I promise that whatever happens, I will always be with you."

Hinata smiled but stayed silent. Naruto caressed Hinata's cheek with his hand.

"And with this kiss I seal our promise."

Once more, their lips touched each other gently and passionately. Hinata opened her mouth as Naruto's tongue slipped to savor every inch of Hinata's sweet taste.

As they parted, Hinata had this smile at her face as she clung into Naruto's arm as if never to let go.

"Hinata stop clinging to me like that. You'll make me trip." Naruto said as he smiled slightly. (A/N: Plushies for those who could guess where I got that line!)

Hinata giggled. "Gomen ne Naruto."

"Come on Hinata. It's late. We better get going." "Hai."

=Uchiha Household=

After Naruto and Hinata left, all the other visitors except Neji left. Naruto went back to Sasuke's house right after he got Hinata home.

"So Sasuke, what are we going to talk about." Naruto asked. Neji looked at Sasuke. "Okay then. I'll get straight to the point. I felt Itachi's chakra coming towards Konoha."

Naruto bolted from his seat. "What?! Does the old hag know about this?" Sasuke nodded. "Yes. Tsunade-sama told me that among all shinobis, excluding herself, only six people could stand against my brother."

"Who are those people?" Neji asked. Sasuke looked at the three kids then looked at Naruto and Neji. "Us."

"What do you mean 'us'?! I mean, I know that the three of us can already stand against Itachi. But the KIDS?! They're still genin. Not to mention genin WITHOUT experience of ANY missions. How are they going to stand against him?!" Naruto exclaimed.

Neji glared at him. "Naruto, calm down. Tsunade-sama was the one who told him that. Are there any other news?"

"Yes." Sasuke nodded glumly. "The sound is staring to wage a war against us. This is my brother's entire plan. I have a feeling that he's behind this all. I don't know how but I'm sure of it."

Naruto bolted up again. "And let the kids, your kids, MY STUDENTS have a war experience before they even experience a mission to capture a cat, to pick up garbage from the river, and all those crappy class D missions?! As their soon-to-be teacher, I won't allow it! They haven't even passed my test to be a true genin!"

"No Naruto-sensei. I know we can face it." Keiki's voice cooed. The three of them looked at the table to see the three 'sleeping' kids with their faces faced towards them. Their eyes snapped open, indicating that they were awake the whole time.

"How long have you three been awake?" Neji asked. "Ever since you started talking about that Itachi-whatever guy." Reika said.

Lan stood up from his position and went towards Sasuke. Keiki followed then Reika. "Naruto-sensei, we would want to take the test NOW." Lan said.

Sasuke and Neji looked at their kids' faces. They were so full of confidence. Confidence that the three shinobis have never seen before.

Naruto nodded. "Alright then. The test will occur within one hour. Sasuke, may we use your backyard?" He asked. Sasuke nodded.

Naruto muttered his thanks and disappeared. Sasuke and Neji looked at their kids as they were preparing for the test.

"Lan. Keiki."

"Yes father?"

Sasuke looked at his two sons. "Do not use the chidori, alright?" Keiki frowned. "Not use the chidori?! Mou! I've been looking forward to using it!"

"Keiki, stop being such a spoilsport and obey father. I'm sure that there has to be a reason." Lan said. Keiki frowned. "Maa, maa, alright."

Neji looked around to look for Reika. He found Reika meditating her chakra throughout the ground. Neji smiled at his daughter's improvements.

Hiding his chakra as hidden as he could, he sneaked up behind her and was about to hit her back with the gentle fist when her eyes sudden snapped open and managed to stop his hand before having direct contact with her back.

She winced as her father managed to hit her with two fingers. No matter how little or light the touch is, the gentle fist is still the gentle fist. Neji smiled. "You've gotten better Reika."

An hour later, the three rookies were standing side by side while Naruto was standing in front of them. Sasuke and Neji were sitting down on a wooden couch to watch the test.

"Alright you three. I have decided that since we're going to start the test tonight, I'm gonna change the rules. This test will occur until five in the morning. It is currently four so the test will go on for a hour." Naruto explained.

"What kind of test is this, anyway?" Keiki asked. "If the three of you manage to make any damage on me, you pass. If not. Fail. That is the rule."

'Augh. I hate tests like this. But I gotta pass.' Reika thought. 'After this I'll ask papa to treat me to ice cream.' Keiki thought. '........' That was Lan's expression.

"Ready... Start!"

The three kids separated ways. Reika activated the byakugan as Lan and Keiki activated the sharingan. Keiki was the first to attack as he threw a bunch of kunais at Naruto with an unbelievable speed.

'This boy reminds me of Tenten.'

Naruto caught one of the kunais and threw it at Keiki. It hit Keiki's left arm. 'I'm not yet done.' Keiki thought as he threw another kunai at him. Naruto caught it with ease. "Is that all you've got?" He asked. That's when he noticed that there was an exploding note attached. 'Crap.' He hurriedly threw the kunai towards Lan's direction.

Lan managed to evade. He noticed Reika was crouching up on a nearby tree waiting for a perfect time to attack. 'I gotta keep him busy as Reika prepares for an attack.' He thought.

Taking out a bunch of shurikens from his pouch, he threw them all at Naruto, using the Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Skill). Unfortunately, Naruto saw through this technique and evaded every single one of them. Hidden or not.

"You're quite good, kid. But not good enough." With that, Naruto did the Kage Bunshin and made them all attack Lan.

"Lan!" Reika got out from her hiding place and attempted to attack the real Naruto. She saw it through the byakugan (A/N: Can the byakugan do that?).

Unfortunately, Naruto evaded the attack effortlessly.

"Gee... Naruto has gotten stronger." Neji said. Sasuke nodded in agreement. "You're right. I just hope that the kids will be able to pass."

Naruto made more kage bunshins and started to attack Keiki. "Keiki!" Lan stopped fighting the kage bunshins facing him and ran towards Keiki. Making the right hand seals, he placed his palm on the ground. "Kaji no Tate (Shield of Fire)!"

As the kage bunshins made contact with the barrier, they all disappeared with a poof. Naruto and the remaining clones looked surprised. Keiki took this opportunity and nodded at Reika. Reika got the hint and attacked the clones.

Every clone was pierced with a senbon needle with great aim as they all disappeared. Naruto was quite shocked about that, thus giving the trio the opening that they need to attack him.

Reika made her way toward Naruto's back and held him in place. "Go!"

"Katon Housenka!"

"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu!"

The fire jutsus hit the target, but then...

POOF!

The three gasped. 'Another clone?!'

Suddenly, three other clones appeared behind the three without them noticing while the real one was standing on top of a nearby tree. "It's five now, kids. Game over."

With that, the three unnoticed clones knocked the three kids out.

'Naruto has really gotten good. He was merely playing with the kids.' Sasuke thought. 'He will be a very tough opponent.'

Neji sighed. 'The kids have improved, but they are still no match for Naruto. He has great skill that could possibly beat me.'

Naruto jumped off the tree and picked Lan up. "Come on you two. Help me in here." Sasuke nodded and carried Keiki as Neji carried Reika. They set the kids down on the couch inside the house to rest.

"Whew. Those kids sure are something. They have great potential. If trained more, they are going to be great shinobis." Naruto said.

Sasuke hned. "Naruto, you were merely toying with the kids. The only technique that you used what Kage Bunshin."

Naruto laughed lightly. "I wasn't exactly toying with them. But it's true. They have great potential."

"Will the kids pass?" Neji asked. Naruto shrugged. "I dunno." He said teasingly. Sasuke and Neji's eyebrows twitched.

Half an hour later, the three kids finally woke up. They frowned as they remembered what happened. Naruto went near to the kids. "How are you three feeling?"

Keiki was the one frowning the most. "Bad." "Why?" "We failed. We didn't made a single damage to you."

Naruto placed his hands on a thinking position. "Well... you're right."

"I knew it." Keiki said. Lan was frowning and Reika has this 'darn it' look. "But don't you worry guys because..." Naruto was cut off once again by Reika.

"...there's still a next time. Hn. I don't wanna wait for the next time."

Naruto frowned at Neji. "Neji is this girl really your child?" Neji glared at him. Naruto turned back the kids.

"Will you just stop cutting me out?! As I was saying, I was about to say that you guys are wrong with one thing." Naruto said.

The three kids looked at him in confusion. "You all passed!"

They blinked.

"The..." "...three of us..." "...passed?" (This is Lan, Keiki, then Reika) Naruto nodded.

"WE PASSED! I'M A NINJA! I'M A NINJA!" Keiki squealed in joy. Lan had this small smile and Reika had this relieved look.

"Now that the three of you are now official genins..." Sasuke cut off Naruto. "Kids, as much as I know that you are so happy in being a genin, this is no time for celebration." He said.

The kids tilted their heads in confusion. "Why is that?" Lan asked.

Neji walked over. "Get some sleep first then Tsunade-sama would be the one to explain. Naruto, you need sleep too."

"Ano sa, ano sa, I don't need it." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed. "Fine. Just at least let the kids rest. Kids, wake up at seven."

"Hai!" In that instant, the three-genin rookies fell in asleep. What they do not know was the war was starting to fire out.

Author's notes: So how is it? I hope that there aren't any other confusion here. I did what I can in this chapter. Any other questions will be answered once you ask. Reviews please!
