Hello readers and welcome to the next chapter of this story. Now I hope that you guys/(maybe) some gals still are enjoying this but I am hoping to get towards the end of this story to work on my VERY neglected other stories. Now like I say every other time I talk about my stories I AM NOT going to stop this just randomly or anything like that. I also have no plans to just rush through this; it will go at a pace I feel is comfortable enough to not make the rest of this worse than what I already have. Course I do have some regrets. Like I feel I don't really have enough focus on the romance in this story for the most part. Something that makes me a bit upset but I just kind of lost my hold on it. Partially because I made a harem in this story. But I asked the readers for what I should do about the relationships and I can't change that in any of my current stories. So…I guess I'll try my best but who knows what will happen.

Chapter 84

+Hokage tower; underground room+

After Tsunade sent a response back to the Tsuchikage she got a response relatively fast seeing as the haws had such a long distance to travel. On the reply was for the most part just a date and a time. Something that the Tsuchikage was allowed to pick the time for their group meeting seeing as he was the one who initiated the meeting. It was the rest of them that had to fit said meeting into their schedule. After all it wasn't very productive to have hawk after hawk fly just for something as simple as a meeting time. Still the time eventually came and Tsunade quickly looked around the room which was filled with strange batter devices that made the room smell of chemicals. All of these devices were then set up to blocky tvs and a strange device that was set up for record her picture. Over all it was quite a wild and mad scientist look to the room but this was the set up with what was some of the most advanced technology their world had to offer.

"Okay everyone let's get this process started." Tsunade called out and watched as the few people in the room quickly got to work activating the power generators and making sure the set up was all ready for her. Finally, after a few minutes of prep time the tv's lite up with power coursing through them. Soon enough each of the screens went from a blank backdrop to showing to the various kages sitting in chairs.

Finally after everyone arrived the Tsuchikage coughed and brought all of their attention to him.

"Well thank you all for coming…even if some did take their sweet time in getting here." Onoki told them.

"Tsk, I got here on time you old fart. Its just takes time for these stupid things to warm up." A growled out.

"Hoh? Who would have ever thought the man that prided his lighting style to have electricity problems" Mei added in with a light laugh that only made the large man even more annoyed.

*sigh* "Can we please keep ourselves focused on the matter at hand?" Gaara asked annoyed "If you would Tsuchikage-san." He added.

"Right…at least the youngest of you brats have some respect…I am sure that everyone has been learning about these creatures with black blood running around and causing problems." Onoki started with his complaints being muttered under his breath. He then glanced around at the images on his side and saw no one confused. "Perfect I am sure that you have done your own research and learned various things all by yourself at the price of your ninja…I am here today to say that I personally find this process far to slow and dangerous for the problem at hand. From what I know currently the most we wait the more creatures will be made seeing as they never seem to stop hunting down towns to convert." Onoki explained seriously.

"Unfortunately it is worse than that. A while ago I had a team of ninja raid some Orochimaru's bases where they first encountered those creatures. Apparently, my bastard of an old teammate is the reason we are having issues…but I still don't know just what he is planning." Tsunade told them.

"Tsk of course the problem started with Konoha…its always the leaf causing problems." Onoki muttered not caring that everyone heard him.

"Oh shut up you old bastard." Tsunade growled out annoyed.

"You are old to! You just hide it under that damn jutsu of yours." He complained

*cough* "Can we get back on track please? These machines don't give us much time to talk." Mei told them glancing off the screen.

"…Right anyways let us meet together in person to discuss the response to this problem without having to worry about such things." Onoki told them refocusing himself. "Let us meet in exsactly one week at noon in the land of iron." He added with everyone simply agreeing with him. After which every one of them turned off their screens and refocused on what was going on in the room they were actually in.

In Tsunade's case the smell of burnt chemicals became practically unbearable and the heat they gave off made the room swelteringly hot.

"God I hate these stupid things we really need to find a way to make electricity without these horrible things." Tsunade complained

"Well when you figure it out let me know" Shikaku told her uncaringly ignoring the glare that was sent his way.

=Meanwhile=

After finally getting home and putting stuff away Naruto finally sat down in his apartment only for a knock on the door to sound off from his front door.

"Ugh…of course after I finally get to relax." Naruto muttered but still stood up and walked over to find that it was Hinata at the door. "Hinata-chan what are you doing here?" Naruto asked confused. Afterall even if for the girls it was more of a vacation than anything else but he still figured they would want to relax at home for a while after finally getting back.

"Well Naruto-kun after you spent so much time with Shizuka-chan I figure it's finally time for me to get a turn." Hinata told him with a smile.

"Your turn? You spent a good portion of the time after the wedding with us." Naruto told her seeing as the girl practically refused to leave them alone much after 'letting' Shizuka have her wedding day to herself.

"Y-you mean you don't want to spend time with me?" Hinata asked looking disappointed. Something that destroyed any chance of Naruto denying her desire seeing as it was such a simple thing.

"No! I love spending time with you. I just thought you would be tired. What do you want to do?" Naruto asked her and watched as she instantly went back to being happy.

"Excellent. Meet me in an hour at my house and I will let you know what we are going to be doing." Hinata told him and happily walked away from him.

"…I feel like she just played me like a fiddle." Naruto muttered watching the girl leave but didn't actually find himself being all that annoyed by this fact. So, he just sat down and decided to be lazy until he had to get ready for his date.

+1 hour later+

After being lazy for a little while Naruto quickly got dressed in his normal casual wear and calmly waited in front of the Hyuuga compound. Soon enough though he saw Hinata come out to greet him in a rather nice but simple kimono.

"Hey Hinata are we doing something fancy today? I can change if I need to." Naruto told her seeing the discrepancy between their outfits.

"Nope don't worry about it Naru-kun don't worry you look good enough to me." Hinata tells him with a small smile and a kiss on the cheek.

"T-thank you Hinata-hime" Naruto told her blushing a bit while being surprised how forward she was being today. "Well shall we get going to wherever you want to go?" Naruto asked.

"Well…actually I have a little surprise for you to start off with before we go" Hinata told him still standing still even as Naruto looked at her curiously. Finally, after a few seconds of him waiting Hinata calmly pushes a smaller teen out from behind her. "You see Hanabi wanted to come with me after hearing what I had planned for today." Hinata told him with a smile. Meanwhile Hanabi couldn't help but gain a blush on her face as Naruto looked at her. Currently she was wearing a kimono just like her sister but hers as a slightly darker shade of purple.

"Well hello again Hanabi-chan I hope you enjoy yourself with us then." Naruto told her with a smile.

"Y-yea." Hanabi muttered blushing even more after noticing the fact her voice stuttered at first. Course Naruto didn't notice anything wrong and simply brought his focus back to Hinata.

"Welp I guess do you want to take the lead and show us what you have planned for us?" Naruto asked ready to get started making Hinata giggle and do just that.

The group of three then began walking through Konoha with Hinata in the lead and Naruto and Hanabi walking close behind her. Though Naruto was rather confused as he felt Hanabi walking close enough that every now and then she would accidentally brush against him. Still seeing as it wasn't actually harming anything he said nothing and simply continued walking to what ended up being a tea shop.

"Huh well tea is nice but I don't know why we couldn't have just gotten it from her house or even from my apartment…oh well it will be nice to have some properly brewed tea." Naruto thought with a mental shrug as they sat down and each ordered a different type of tea and quickly found themselves sitting with said tea in front of them.

"Ah this is nice." Naruto happily told them as he felt the teas warmth relax him as the flavors filled his mouth. "But what made you want to come for tea? I'd have figured you would want to get your fix of cinnamon buns after being away from them for so long." Naruto told her teasingly.

"I-I'm not that bad" Hinata told him with an embarrassed blush. "I just thought it would be nice to relax with tea as our first part of our date…though I am a bit surprised that we each got a different type." Hinata told Naruto then glanced over at her sister. "In fact let me try some of yours." Hinata told her with a smile and before the slightly younger girl could say anything she found her tea stolen. If one was to look over at this moment they would notice the slight pout Hanabi had on her face before glancing over at Naruto's tea cup with a blush. She then took said cup and quickly took a sip before setting it back down in front of Naruto.

"I-if we are going to be trying each other's teas then its only fair if we are all stuck doing it." Hanabi told them with the blush still on her face. Something that only grew worse when she saw Naruto shrug the action off and continue drinking like nothing happened.

"I want to be mad at sis for stealing my stuff…but I guess she was hinting that an indirect kiss would be the start of today's plan…I just wish that Naruto had more of a reaction to it like I did." Hanabi thought. After all while today's day was seemingly brought on randomly it was actually far from the truth. For after Hinata came back they finally had a conversation that ended up with a plan for Hanabi to show the blond what she has decided. After all now that she decided that she wanted to act on her feelings she must make said blond notice that they are actually there.

Sadly though even with this event going on the rest of their time at the tea shop was spent on mindless chatter and the indirect kiss was all but ignored. But eventually they finished their teas and moved on from the shop. They then continued until they reached a clothing store.

"Umm didn't you girls just go shopping?" Naruto asked confused.

"Why of course we did. But Hanabi happens to need some new outfits…I promise it won't be long and we can go to our real date destination. Ok?" Hinata asks tilting her head a bit to the side.

"Heh don't worry Hinata-chan that's no problem with me…I'm happy whenever I get to spend time with you girls." Naruto told her giving her a quick kiss on her lips.

"hehehe, that's our Naruto. Always the pleaser." Hinata tells him with a smile.

"…if you are done, I'd like to get started." Hanabi grumbles pushing past them by squeezing between them and into the store.

"heh well I guess she is just a bit impatient." Hinata states with a small giggle as they follow her into the store. The next few minutes was filled with Hanabi glancing through the clothes on sale while grabbing various articles and piling them on her arm. Though Hanabi eventually decided to acknowledge the two of them again and walked over to them.

"Okay I am ready to try some outfits on…do you guys mind telling me how they look?" Hanabi asks getting a cheesy thumbs up from Naruto.

"Don't worry Hanabi-chan we are happy to help you." Naruto told her without hesitation. This ended up being all the girl needed as she walks into one of the changing booths leaving Hinata and Naruto alone.

"Sorry that I am making you do this Naruto-kun. I meant for this just to be a nice relaxing date before we had to get back to missions…but I owed her a favor." Hinata told him awkwardly.

"Don't worry Hinata-chan its nice to see that you care for your sister enough to change your plans for her." Naruto told her not bothered by the current situation at all.

"Hehehe Naruto-kun I am sorry for lying to you but it is for a good cause I promise…after all even if they hide it every man is a bit of a pervert. And all perverts think about the different types of girls." Hinata thinks seeing as Hinata felt Hanabi's attractiveness was more of a 'girl next door' kind of appeal. Though before she could think about this further Hanabi came out with her first outfit.

(AN: Before I get any further let me state yet again that Hanabi is older than in the anime (though she is still younger than them). She WILL NOT be in any sexual situations unless there is yet another time warp seeing as I don't feel right about writing about a full-grown adult and basically a young adult/older teen (nor should ANYONE feel right about doing this) But seeing as she is capable of making her own choices she can flirt with anyone that she wants and with her sister helping her out then there could be more situations when said events take place. BUT don't expect anything other than what I would assume is todays PG/PG-13….but to be honest I barely know what stays in that realm and doesn't anymore with what I see some kids watching…I only know that you WILL NOT see her get to a M rated scene while I am writing it. As for her acting out of character…love makes you act strange….just let it work with that)

So both Naruto and Hianta watched as Hanabi came out in a strapless dress said dress was pink and color and only reached her knees leaving a good portion of her legs to be seen

"What do you think? Hanabi asked doing a quick spin.

"It looks good on you." Hinata told her happily.

"…it seems a bit short." Naruto muttered but found his statement ignored by both girls. *sigh* "I guess pervy sage is right….when a girl has her mind set on it; nothing can change it." Naruto muttered as Hanabi went back into the changing room. Soon after this Hanabi came out wit a few other outfits until she finally stated that she only had one final outfit left. But when she came out Naruto couldn't help but be shocked by what he saw.

For while all the rest of the clothes were a bit more mature than he expected this one took the cake. Hanabi currently was in a sports bra that hugged her modest chest like a second skin. Due this her toned stomach was in open view for anyone to look at just above a pair of leggings that seemed to be a size to small for her. Basically for Naruto it seemed like an outfit any woman should be in or else they would have to deal with perverted men being unable to take their eyes off of them.

"So, what do you think?" Hanabi asks looking at Naruto who was still visibly stunned.

"I-I feel like you shouldn't wear something like that anywhere but maybe in your house. There is no reason to let perverts get a free show." Naruto told her seriously.

(I have nothing against girls wearing these but I will be honest. I think that it is giving perverts far to much ease to stare at you like a piece of meat. Wear what you want…just stay safe)

"Hmm it does seem to be a bit tight….you must be growing again." Hinata told Hanabi making Naruto's eyes travel to a spot that made him blush.

"I-I'm gonna leave it to you girls to figure out this outfit then." Naruto told them making both of them laugh.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun we just figured you would need something to wake you up after having to look at clothes for so long." Hinata told Naruto with a smirk.

"…not funny." Naruto told her with a small pout. But this didn't stop either of the girls from clearly enjoying the moment.

"Oh don't be that way Naru-kun. Here let's go to the final spot of our date." Hinata told him with a gentle shove.

"…ok let's go" Naruto told her already over the annoyance from their teasing. Still he complied with Hinata as Hanabi went to the counter to pay for the outfits she chose to actually buy and then they left for what would be the final part of their journey.

~Outskirts of Konoha~

After walking a decent way yet again but none of them truly minded. But finally they apparently reached the destination seeing as Hinata stopped in front of a building and waited for the other two to catch up.

Naruto quickly looked at the building and visibly was confused.

"The hot springs? But how is this a part of the date when it's separate baths?" Naruto asked.

"I know it seems weird…but this one happens to have a mixed bathing option for today so we will be able to relax with each other." Hinata told him happily.

"But what about Hanabi?" Naruto asked. Seeing as while he was more than comfortable seeing Hinata and have seen her many times now he knew it had to be awkward for a younger sister to be around her sister and her boyfriend…let alone without any clothes on.

"It will be fine trust me. Now let's go" Hinata told him pushing him into the building. Now he still had loads of questions and concerns but seeing as for once Hianta is being completely dominate he decided to simply shrug it off and let her enjoy her rare moment of confidence.

So, he walked into the men's changing room and honestly felt a bit nervous.

"I have no idea why Hinata is acting so different today but I hope she keeps this confidence. It's rather nice to see her not so down…but this still feels like there is something weird going on right now." Naruto thought as he quickly finished getting changed and walked into the hot spring. Much to his surprise there really wasn't that many people relaxing in the hot spring but there was no surprise that there was more men then women. Afterall when there is a chance to see naked women without being killed of course the perverts would show up.

"Actually now that I think about it with all of these perverts around I don't know if I really want my girlfriend here let alone her sister…" Naruto thought with a glare at no one. "Its too late now…but I will make sure people know not to mess with them." Naruto thought while unknowingly releasing enough KI to make everyone feel a bit antsy around him.

~Girls Changing room~

"Ok are you ready for the last step of the plan?" Hinata asked as she got out of her clothes.

"…yes…I just wish that there wouldn't be as many random people there. I would much rather it just be us." Hanabi admitted with a blush. Afterall she had no desire to have a bunch of random people look at her body.

"I know it sucks. But there would be to many questions from far too many people if we booked it alone. Plus, part of the plan counts on those creeps as well." Hinata told her turning to her sister. "You were the one who wanted a chance to get him to look at you as more than just my little sister. So, come on and do the final push with me…after all if I could get passed my nerves to keep Naruto-kun as my boyfriend then surely you can as well." Hianta told her with a small smile.

*sigh* "I know…let's get this over with" Hanabi tells her sister and after taking a deep breath pushed past the cloth barrier.

"Just keep your confidence." Hianta told her following right after her sister.

=Hot Spring Bathing area=

After Hinata and Hanabi entered the main area of the hot spring they quickly spotted the blond sitting a bit away from anyone else and quickly walked over to him. Though they both tried desperately to ignore all the looks they swore were boring into their bodies. But finally they reached Naruto who was desperately trying to not look at both of them currently with a blush on his face.

"Aww how cute. You are still shy to see me? I thought we were past that?" Hinata teasingly asked Naruto making him even more embarrassed.

"Shut up. Its just different seeing you in just a towel." Naruto admitted to her as Hinata got into the water right next to him.

"How sweet." Hianta tells him with a smile giving a quick kiss to his cheek. Course while she did this Naruto was focused on her and missed the fact that Hanabi quickly sat down on his other side of him. In fact he only noticed when he felt her brush against him.

"H-hanabi-chan you are a bit too close." Naruto told her feeling a bit awkward. But of course, much to his surprise instead of getting away from him she leaned against his shoulder making him tense up in surprise. "W-what are you doing?" Naruto asked her still tense.

"Hmm? I am trying to relax just like you." Hanabi told him simply holding back a laugh at the look she got from Naruto.

"I mean you shouldn't be this close to me." Naruto told her bluntly.
"Oh…I'm sorry Naruto-kun but its just with this many people here I have to show them that they can't come bother us." Hanabi tells him partially honest.

"But we aren't together….but I guess its fine if you just want to keep safe." Naruto told her.

"No we aren't…but you could fix that quite easily." Hanabi muttered out loud enough for Naruto to hear.

"W-what?" Naruto asked in surprise only to be ignored.

"D-did she just say what I think she did? There is no way that she actually likes me right? I mean that was just teasing…right?" Naruto thought as they all enjoyed the warm water. After this event the group stayed close together with only Naruto noticing the jealous stares he was getting. Still even he managed to enjoy himself until they finally decided to head out of the bath. So, with that in mind they got out of the water and quickly got changed. Course after this they really didn't do much other than Naruto walking the girls back to the Hyuuga compound.

"Welp thank you for the day…it was interesting but defitlently better than just being lazy today." Naruto told Hinata with a smile.

"Heh don't worry about it. I know it was strange but I tried to make a plan that we would enjoy even with Hanabi joining in." Hinata told him giving him a quick hug. "Now have a good night Naru-kun. Thank you for coming." Hinata told him before heading into the compound leaving Naruto only with Hanabi.

"Well thank you for coming as well" Naruto told Hanabi awkwardly rubbing the back of his head. Course what he didn't expect was for Hanabi to suddenly kiss him on the cheek and start to head back in. Course right when she reached the gate she shyly looked back at Naruto with a blush on her face.

"Thank you for the date." Hanabi told the stunned Naruto before she continued to enter her house. After she left it took another minute or two for Naruto to get over his surprise and finally think about what just happened.

"There is no way that Hanabi likes me like that as well…right?" Naruto asked himself while looking at the large compound.

=Hokage office=

"Come in" Tsunade calls after hearing a knock at her office door. She then looked up from her work to see it was Ayame that entered the room. "Can I help you Ayame-san?" Tsunade asked the younger of the two ramne cooks.

"I have thought about the question you gave me long enough now. The answer I decided to follow is-"

And that is where I think I am going to end this chapter. Now the date is a bit rushed I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of that but I am ok with the results that I got for having to use such a small amount of time. Now before I go I would like to state that Hanabi WILL NOT be in any M rated things other than maybe if a time work brings her to be a lot older. I just don't want to write about young kids in such situations and have NO desire ever to do so. Anyways I am sorry for the 'sort of' teaser at the end but I just couldn't help it. Anyways I guess just Ja Ne.
