DISCLAIMER: I own nothing from the Naruto Universe or any anime that somehow ended up here. This is for fun and entertainment only.

A/N: I originally uploaded this story at my Wattpad account and plan on finishing this here. I would try to make it much more interesting for you all but just know that this chapter as well as the other three chapter before this are similar from the story in Wattpad and I'm only going to change it as I update it more.

-Never Enough-

-CHAPTER 4-

"I mean it. I like you Naruto Namikaze"

Those words kept on echoing on her head every damn minute and she can't concentrate on what she is doing. Menma is getting worried on how her face kept on getting red and even ask if she needed a doctor which she denied.

Dressing up she decided to go and visit her aunt and grandmother to ask for some advice.

Her grandmother Tsunade and her aunt Shizune were the ones Naruto trust the most out of her whole family mostly because they are the only female relative that she could go to. Her aunt was the one who she could come to if she has a problem mostly when she feels upset about her father since if she told her grandmother about it she would most likely hurt her father. And let's be honest she is closer to her grandfather than her grandmother but their still close its just her grandfather is a carefree man while her grandmother is the strict one in the family.

Arriving on the hospital that her grandmother owns she immediately go to her aunt's office to talk to her. Unfortunately turns out that Shizune is currently operating someone, and she can go to her grandmother because she is also rather busy. Deciding to just wait patiently for her aunt to come she think on how she is going to respond to Shikamaru's confession. She got lucky when the bell rang and Shikamaru said that he would wait for her answer but that doesn't mean that it would stop him from helping her and courting her.

_SHIKAMARU's POV_

Waiting for the one you confess to is kind of nerve wracking, but I could deal with it.

Its currently Sunday a few days after I confess to Naruto and right now, I'm currently on my work with my mother taking care of dad and my sister. I must work harder since it is nearing my little sister's seventh birthday and I want to make it special for her.

Smiling at a new costumer I ask her what I could get for her. Seriously I don't know why my boss always told me to become a cashier for the cafe. With most of the costumer's female I am being forced to be either a waiter or a cashier. Boss just give me a promotion and making me the manager of the cafe infuriating a few workers at first who worked here longer than me, but they then accepted it saying that I needed it more. A few moments later the bell ring signaling everyone that a new costumer came in I looked up and saw Naruto and a woman who looked a little like her must be a relative.

"Welcome to Thunder God's Cafe what can I get you" I said politely smiling at the two of them I saw Naruto look at me in shock before a tint of pink caught my eye and I smirk. Heh, looks like she's just in denial then. The woman next to her ordered and the two of them walk to find a seat.

"Does Shika-chan know them?" I hear someone say behind me I look behind me and saw the daughter of my boss Nova Dreyar

Nova Dreyar is like an older sister to me always trying to cheer me up. She's the one who convinced her mother Mrs. Mirajane Dreyar to allow me to work here at the cafe. She is currently 19, just two years older than me. I hate it when she calls me 'Shika-chan' makes me feel like a kid.

"Just the blonde one Nova-san...and stop calling me that!" I answered

" I told you to call me Nee-san. Soo, I saw the look you gave her. Is she the girl you kept on talking about?" She asks me grinning slyly. And as if on cue her mother my boss suddenly appeared beside her wearing the same expression as Nova.

"Maybe" I answered since they already know. I remember the day that my boss somehow manages to force me to tell her about my interest on Naruto and she told her daughter about.

"Oooh, so did you finally confess?" Said Mirajane Strauss Dreyar.

I nodded and they started to bounce around trying to contain their excitement while the other waiters and cashiers just shook their heads before returning to work.

"What did she say?" Nova asked

"Nothing, the school bell rang, and she just ran away from me" I answered back then told them that she returns to ask for some time and the mother-daughter duo just nodded their head and started asking me other question. The two of them are really invested in their matchmaking hobbies.

"Mirajane stop harassing your employee" I heard someone said before seeing a red-haired woman with brown eyes and a frown on her beautiful face.

"Oh, Erza I am doing no such thing" I heard Mirajane said smiling sweetly.

Erza Fernandez is a great friend of my boss and our best costumer, yet she can eat all our stock of strawberry cheesecake if Mirajane or her husband would allow her to.

"Then stop trying to meddle into their love life you she-devil"

"Like you could do something about its Titania did you forget that I'm the reason you ended up marrying your husband"

What a great friendship they have.

_NARUTO's POV_

"So let me get this straight, the boy you like confess to you. Yet you decided to run away" A black haired woman in a doctors outfit said

"I didn't run away, I-I told him that I needed some time to think," said our blonde protagonist

"In short, you ran away"

"Shizune-Oba, can you please stop repeating yourself and as I said I ask for some time" The now named Shizune merely raised an eyebrow before sighing

"You ask for some time to think AFTER you ran away. Why did you run when you always get confessed to a lot of time? Seriously you sometimes remind me of your father when he was your age" She said shaking her head but whispered the last part so she wouldn't hear. It's best not to mention the blonde man at times like this

"Er, you know I just need some advice I don't need you lecturing me on how I should react on being confessed to by someone I like"

"But that is the same thing" Shizune said

"You know what, we can just stop talking about why I ran" Naruto pouted

"Yea sure come on I'm hungry let's talk about it while eating" Shizune said dragging the pouting blonde behind her.

Arriving on a well-known cafe just a few blocks away from the hospital the two decided to order when Naruto looked up, she came face to face with a very familiar face and ended up blushing which is seen by her aunt and said familiar faced stranger. After the two ordered they leave the cashier/order station to look for a table that is unoccupied.

"So that's him huh" said Shizune while smiling slily at her niece who just kept her head low blushing in embarrassment

"Yea, that's him" Naruto said without looking up which make Shizune grin but hey, it's obvious now that her face is physically telling everyone about it

"So did you plan it?"

"Plan what?"

"Going in this particular cafe" Shizune said thanking the waiter who bring their cakes and drinks to their table

"Why would plan that?" Ask a confused Naruto

"Because you know that he is working here" Shizune answered emphasizing on the first word

"I didn't even know that he worked here" said Naruto looking at her aunt like she's crazy

"Oh really"

"Yes really"

"You sure?" Shizune tried again

"Yeah, I'm sure" Naruto said once again nodding her head

"Really, really sure?" Shizune now started being amused on how Naruto kept on nodding her head and acting like a child for once in her life

"Yeah, really really sure" Naruto said again looking at her aunt with wide eyes before realizing what she is doing when she saw Shikamaru in her peripheral vision looking at her direction amused before resuming his conversation with a pretty blonde haired lady making her pout at not having his attention even when she kept on being a Tsundere though her aunt and grandmother often say that is a combination of a tsundere and kuudere which she is NOT!

Shizune noticed her sudden change of mood and stifle a laugh. It's been a long time since she last saw her niece acting like how she really is, a childish, energetic and overly optimistic kid who loves to have everyone's attention solely focused on her before her mother's death.

It's kind of a refreshing change and it also give her hope that it is still possible to get that Naruto back not that she doesn't like the current Naruto it's just that she missed the old Naruto she only hopes that her older brother would not try to interfere in this blossoming feeling that her niece have or she might distance herself more to not just her father but everyone around her.

"Jealous?" Shizune teased her niece once she got out of her inner thought

"W-what j-jealous on whom?" Naruto stuttered waving her hand frantically before Shizune pointed at Shikamaru's direction

"W-why would I be jealous" Naruto said looking at her lap once again

"I don't know you tell me" Shizune said leaning in the table with her plate finished

- SCENE CHANGE -

" So, what do you think Kakashi" a white-haired man said looking at Kakashi

"Hm, I don't know" Kakashi said after thinking on the man's preposition

"What do you mean that you don't know? Isn't she your sister?" The man asked looking at the young adult before him

"Yeah, but I haven't talk to her outside of business since she's a kid" Kakashi said looking guilty

"You don't talk to her on that long?" Repeated the man with his eyebrows raised in disbelief

"Hai Ojiisan" Nodded Kakashi looking anywhere but his now identified grandfather

"Did your father did the same?" Said grandfather asked with an eyebrow raised hoping that his eldest treated his granddaughter like a princess

"Yes" The young man shook his head now feeling like a child once again upon seeing his usually goofball of a grandfather's stern look

The answer on the young man makes the older man sigh before a voice interrupted their conversation

"Um Mr. Jiraiya sir" Both men looked up to find a couple of teenagers holding up a pen and a small notebook

"Um sorry to disturb you sir but. Can we please have an autograph?" Said the one from the middle who looked like he is the same age as his youngest grandson

The older man who is now identified as Jiraiya smiled before signing their notebooks and taking a picture with some of them. The others may have managed to recognize Kakashi who is wearing a hood and a face mask and ask him to also sign and take a few pictures with him

"Looks like you're now a successful man huh Kakashi" Jiraiya said making Kakashi nod

"I want you to try and bring it up to her when you see her again" Jiraiya said getting back to business

"Why don't you just tell her then?"

"I have to go on a few businesses trip first before I can go back to Japan" Right he forgot that his grandfather is an extremely busy man being one of the most successful writer/director/company owner who is well known internationally.

"Alright I'll try to convince her into taking up the offer once I get back to Japan" He must also tell her that the movie that they are doing is going to be big and a lot more expectation must be met specially since everyone know that the director is the leading actress's little sister not to mention that both are the grandchildren of Jiraiya Namikaze the most influential man to ever exist

Kakashi and Naruto live a life with a lot of people even strangers who they didn't know expecting them to meet up all the expectations given to them with their grandfather being a well-known man around the world, their grandmother being the best doctor out there, their aunt slowly surpassing their grandmother, a father that is hailed as a prodigy and their late mother who was a great actress/business woman like Naruto they are now being expected to surpass their older family members. And don't get him started on Menma. With both his sibling being extremely influential at a very young age he is being put on a lot of pressure thankfully Naruto is always there guiding him in every step he takes

- SCENE CHANGE -

"So, father say that huh"

"Yeah, and he really sounds upset too. Maybe...maybe we really pushed her too far" answered the guy on the other side of the call

"Hm, I guess we do"

"Mr. Namikaze." A woman called knocking in the door

"Yes, what is it?" Minato Namikaze ask looking at the window deep in thought

"Well, I guess I'll hung up now. You do your job dad" the guy on the phone said before hanging up

"Your mother is here sir, do I let her in?" that surprise Minato as his mother doesn't visit often like his dad

"Let her in"

A few weeks had past, and Naruto still didn't give him the answer. She kept on avoiding him and when she did look at him and got caught doing it, she would have a full-blown blush on her face prompting Shikamaru to laugh quietly
