Naruto led his family to the gate entrance to the water park. The longer he looked at it, the more nervous he got. He wasn't one to be nervous, but the amount of merchandise that had his face on them made him queasy. Not to mention the amount of people.He didn't want anyone to recognize him, and make it hard for him to have a fun time with his family. And the stomach pains were a problem, no matter how many pain pills he took. He could tell Hinata was thinking the same thing.

"Lets go somewhere else..." Naruto sweatdropped and turned away from the entrance.

"But... daddy!" Himawari grabbed onto her father's arm and begged to stay. Naruto almost relented, but figured it was best it they left.

"Sorry, Hima. But let's go somewhere even better!" Naruto tried to cheer his daughter. Hima solemnly agreed. Boruto didn't care, on the outside anyway. On the inside he was furious, thinking it was just like his dad to back out at the last minute.

Naruto thought of different places to take his family, there weren't many options in the land of waves, he wasn't familiar with the place. Too much had changed since the last time he'd been there.

After a few minutes of thought and talking with Kurama, they both agreed it was time to go somewhere else.

"Okay. Hinata, what about the valley of end." Naruto turned to his wife. He was uncertain of the trip, but it would be a good time to show them places of the past. After his battle with Sasuke, he had it rebuilt, and now it stood tall and proud like it did before his catastrophic fight with his friend.

Hinata scrunched up her face in thought. The idea pleased her, and she was okay with it. She'd already told the story of Sasuke and Naruto's battle anyway. Hinata nodded and smiled at Naruto. Taking Hima's hand, she and her family started the walk back to the hotel where they were staying. After they'd packed, they quickly said goodbye to Tazuna and his family and left in the balloon.

"Okay Hima, do you see what I see?" Boruto formed goggles with his fingers and curled them around his eyes like glasses.

Hima stared out the window. "Give me a hint!"

"Its green."

"That's not a hint, everything is green outside!"

"Not everything Hima! The sky is blue."

Hima pouted and begged for another hint.

Naruto felt a wave of guilt wash over his body. He wasn't very keen on breaking the news to them.

Hinata snuggled closer to Naruto as she slowly drifted off to sleep. She was always busy around the house, waiting up for him when he came home from work, it made him feel guilty. He brushed the hair out of her face and smiled.

How did I get so lucky..

The trip back to the Leaf was quiet and uneventful. The final valley was not a tourist attraction, as he had kept his final battle with Sasuke under the radar, so it didn't have a ton of people around. It was still a monument, dedicated to the first Hokage, but it wasn't world famous. Naruto grabbed a few necessities from their house for their trip on the road. Deciding not to take any means of transportation besides their own legs they set off for the valley of end.

"I'm tired daddy.. hold me." Hima lifted up her arms wearily and begged her dad to pick her up. Naruto was thankful she wasn't that heavy, and agreed. Trained ninja have high stamina, but Hima wasn't even in the Ninja academy yet so she wasn't very prepared for the trip.

"How much farther?" Boruto turned to his mother and asked. Hinata looked towards Naruto.

"About ten, fifteen minutes?" Naruto grinned sheepishly. "I haven't been here since it was rebuilt."

Hinata nodded and activated her Byakugan. "Its about fifteen minutes out. You were right!" She deactivated her Doujutsu and smiled at her husband.

Naruto made an exaggerated bow. "Thank you m'lady!"

Boruto glanced at his mom and dad. They were married for so long, yet they still act like a couple on their honey moon. Why? He'll never know. While he was thinking, the conversation suddenly turned.

"Come on! It wasn't that bad!" Naruto blushed furiously under his wife playful gaze.

"Yes it was! You were a terrible liar, sometimes anyway." Hinata grinned teasingly at her husband, playfully poking him in the gut.

"I didn't see another option."

"I think it was sweet though!"

"Are we talking about the same thing?"

"Probably not. Although, it doesn't matter anyway. We're here."

Hinata turned her attention to the massive water fall that stood in from of them. Full erect statues of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stood before them, facing each other. The water fall was beautiful.

"Okay! I packed for a picnic, so let's get going!" Naruto made a few clones to carry the basket, Hima, and Hinata in their arms and they all jumped to the top of the mountain. Setting his items on the ground his clones followed with his precious cargo. Hima was awestruck by the sheer size of the statues and couldn't stop looking at them. Boruto didn't portray much emotion.

Why did I have a mini Sasuke...

Naruto sighed as he watched this son sit on the grass, seemingly having a mental conversation.

Hinata quickly set out the food with Naruto's help, grinning at her kids as they played together in the grass. Boruto finally got out of his mental dilemma, and started playing with his younger sister.

"I can't help but notice that he's much happier around Hima and you than me. Does he hate me that much?" Naruto sat down besides his wife. Hinata stopped and watched Boruto before answering.

"No... I think it's because your keeping that secret from him, he holds a grudge against you. That's one thing I know he doesn't take after you. You never used to hold a grudge when your here a kid. Not for very long anyway." Hinata smiled softly and laid her head on Naruto's shoulder. They quietly watched their children play and explore before calling them to eat.

"Ooh, cookies!" Hima grabbed a cookie and started munching on it as soon as she reached the blanket. The menu consisted of cookies, sandwiches, orange juice and Apple slices. They all ate their portion and started to set up their gear for the night. Naruto had surprised them by saying that he'd brought hear for camping. No one but Hima was thrilled with the idea since it was a common occurrence to sleep outside when your a ninja, but Naruto had figured they wouldn't be back to the village in time so he was well prepared.

After everyone was tucked into their sleeping bags, and a fire was started, they all started to drift off to sleep. Naruto snuggled close to Hinata and her sleeping back and wrapped his arm around her.

"Night Hima, night Bolt, night Hinata." Naruto whispered softly.

"Night."

"G'night."

"Night Daddy! Sweet dreams!"

Don't know if you could tell, but I hit a major writers block. If anyone has any ideas about where else he shouldn't take his family, please share them! I had to get this chapter up so you guys wouldn't feel as if I abandoned you guys. It's choppy, as you can tell.

Gomen...
