Upon reaching the bottom of the mountain, Naruto and the others headed towards Konaha. Similar to how their second vacation began, he went home to grab some stuff, and left in the balloon again. Boruto and Himawari were confused when they were given winter clothes.

"I'm sorry if they aren't the ones you wanted but it's the first thing I saw, and if you need different ones we can always buy more." Naruto grinned, handing his kids their gear. Boruto accepted with a scowl, and Himawari gladly took them in her arms and exclaimed about how soft they were. Hinata was given Winter clothes also. She looked at Naruto confused.

"Just where are we going?" She wondered. She tried to listen to Naruto giving the pilot the coordinates, since it was not a trip the owners usually took, Naruto had to give them directions, but she couldn't hear well enough. Deciding just to trust Naruto, she sighed and focused on the surroundings. Boruto and Hima were trying to figure out how to put on their gear, talking quietly to each other.

Hinata chuckled quietly. Boruto looked at her.

"What are you laughing at?"

Hinata shook her head. "Nothing... just that you two get along so well. It's adorable!"

Boruto groaned. "Dad said almost the same exact thing this morning..."

"Well it's true! You guys are my children, it's only natural to feel like you are the most adorable children in the world." Hinata smiled sweetly at her son. Himawari was giggling at Boruto's reaction and started teasing him.

Hinata smiled as she gazed out the window, and then to the empty seat beside her.

I'd better get used to it... that seat will be empty permanently soon.

Trying to calm herself before she stared crying in front of her children, she started thinking happy thoughts. She was startled from her thoughts when Naruto appeared besides her.

"Were almost there!" He said grinning enthusiastically, his eyes sparkling. "It's been a while since I've seen her, and I'm sure she'd love to meet you! I met her when she was a client for a mission we had here."

Hinata couldn't help but wonder who he was talking about. It was a her so... Hinata mentally face palmed. What's was she thinking?

Smiling at her other half she answered sweetly. "Oh? Who is she?"

Naruto grinned mischeviosly. "She's a princess... She's an actress... She is-!" Naruto paused unceremoniously. Now she was confused. She never knew there was a mission in his past that involved a princess that was an actress.

Wait... what was his favorite movie called? Was it something like... Princess Gale!

Hinata stared alarmed at Naruto. "You don't mean.. Princess Gale?"

Naruto nodded. "She was involved in a long Political dispute between the royal line. Her Fathers brother was trying to take over when she was a child, and he launched an all out assault on the country that resulted in her fathers death. She was taken to another country, and became an actress, years later when she was older, we took her with us and went back to settle the country and elect her as their new leader."

"Wait.. you took her with you? I thought she was the client."

"Yeah.. She didn't want to be queen, so we had to knock her out just to get her on the boat. It was fun! We even sat in on the filming of the movie."

Hinata shook her head. Sometimes he got excited over the simplest things. He was acting more like a child these last few days, maybe it had something to do with his adventures.

"Alright.. you haven't told me her name. Her real name." Hinata chided softly.

Naruto chuckled. "It's Koyuki Kazahana, You didn't know?"

"No... i'm not a fan." Hinata smiled.

Naruto looked aghast but before he could say anything the pilot told them they had reached their destination.

"Alright! Kids, you are about to meet the actress from one of my favorite movies! Remember!... stay close to us." He finished off his dramatic speech quietly and turned to grab his luggage. Hinata grabbed her share and Boruto took Himawari's hand.

After thanking the pilot and telling him the next time to be there to take them home they were on their way to the palace.

"I got her number... surprisingly. She already knows were coming, so she should send guards. She had gotten married to the guy from the show, imagine that, and... I forgot his name... oh well. She has a son."

Naruto silently stared at his family in the awkward silence. "What is it?"

"You must have been a really big fan." Boruto grinned.

"I was... I guess actually getting to know the star personally, and saving her life can make you really appreciate it more." Naruto smiled remembering his escapades in the land of snow.

His thoughts were interrupted by an obnoxious beeping sound. Glancing to his right, he saw a car roll up besides them. Two men came out of the car. One was an older man, in his late forties, and the other was a young man, maybe sixteen excitedly glancing at Naruto.

"Are you Naruto Uzumaki?" The older one calmly spoke. The young one seemed eager to know what Naruto's answer would be.

"Yes." Naruto grinned.

"Queen Koyuki has sent us to escort you to the palace. Please, make yourself comfortable." He motioned to the car, opening the door. Naruto shrugged and told Hinata to go in first. After his whole family got into the car he sat on the last open seat. There was a total of six seats, three on one side and three on the other. Naruto, Hinata and Hima were taking up the one side while Naruto was on the other side with the young man.

"So... I forgot it wasn't a shinobi country.. I still haven't gotten used to traveling in these hunks of metal..." Naruto nervously attempted to strike up a conversation with his seat mate. The boy looked hesitantly at Naruto, who assumed he was scared of him.

"Wait... are you scared of me?"

"No! No way!" The boy yelled."uhh.." he stopped nervously. "It's just that.. your so cool! And your the Seventh Hokage.. I've never actually met a Hokage before.. or any Kage for that matter." The boys face lit up as he talked to Naruto.

"Oh.. is that right? Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, my Wife Hinata, my son Boruto and daughter Hima." Naruto pointed out each family member individually, the boy eager to meet them. Shaking their hands he introduced himself as Shikume and proceeded to talk to Naruto.

"So.. what's it like, living in a shinobi village? Or being Hokage?"

"Well.." Naruto scratched his head. "It's pretty cool I guess. Not very much fun having to deal with all the diplomatic stuff but it's okay.. It's really tiring and I don't really get much time off. I'm not very smart as you can see, so I'm not very good with the paperwork side of things. But I get to protect my friends, and my family. It has been my dream since I was a kid ya know!" Naruto beamed. "My dad was Hokage, my non biological grandma and grandpa were Hokage's, and my sensei was Hokage."

The boy was shocked.

I get the feeling this so personal information. Why is he telling me this?

As if he could read his mind, Naruto looked over curiously at him. "I hope i'm not making you uncomfortable."

Boruto retaliated. "Yeah.. the old man thinks everyone wants to know about his ancestry."

"Hey! I'm just really proud of it ya know!" Naruto half yelled irritated.

Shikume chuckled. "You guys are funny. And Lord Seventh, I never thought that a Hokage would act like you do. I thought they would usually act like my mother around people who weren't family."

"Your mother?" Naruto asked confused.

Shikume nodded. "After I heard my mother say you guys were coming to our castle, I begged to be able to go with Kisuke to greet you."

Naruto paused, thinking. "Wait..." he turned to Shikume. "Your Koyuki's son?!"
