Story Start
Naruto approached the Hyuuga Compound, wearing black pants, boots, and a nice t-shirt that did little to hide his physic from others. In his hands was a bouquet of flowers, as he had stopped by the Yamanaka flower shop, and bought them, and bid Inoichi a good day while the man's wife had backed away in fear of him.
The smile on his face turned to a frown, as he saw the small army of Hyuuga guards at the front gate ready for a fight, and Naruto instantly knew what this was about. A certain someone or possible some people were trying to prevent Hanabi from going on a date with him. Not surprising really given the snooty clan Hanabi was from and how they did not wish to taint their supposedly noble blood with the Hyuuga Heiress being with the "demon boy" of the Leaf.
Even if he was a Namikaze.
"I'm here to see Hyuuga Hanabi," said Naruto trying to be respectful to the guards though they looked anything, but respectful to him, and ready to strike the moment they saw an opening.
"We cannot let you pass on the orders of Hyuuga Hiashi and the Hyuuga Elders. Hanabi-sama is banned from leaving the Clan Compound until further notice," said the leader of this small army of Hyuuga members.
"You mean she's stuck in the house until they stamp that Cage Bird Seal on her forehead like they did Neji. Right?" said Naruto seeing some of the Branch members stiffen and saw some were sympathetic to Hanabi since the girl never used the seal.
"That's not your business demon," said the lead Hyuuga.
"I am making it my business you sack of shit. However, I'm not without compassion, as I'm going to give you a choice, and I suggest you choose wisely. Either you go back to your Masters to tell them to let Hanabi-chan come out on for our date or I'll make you do it after I giving you each a beat within an inch of your life. Decide!" said Naruto, as he saw them get into Gentle Fist stance, and the Namikaze could only shake his head at their stupidity.
"We cannot let you pass," said the Hyuuga again.
"Why is it you people always have to do things the hard way with me? Even when I am being civilized, you still think its some farce, and let your fears override common sense," said Naruto before throwing the bouquet into the air and charged the small Hyuuga force.
They didn't stand a chance.
When it was over, the leader of the group was the last to fall after having Naruto's hand on his throat, slowly squeezing it to make breathing difficult, and finally slammed the man face down on the ground. Walking to the door, Naruto caught the flowers he had thrown into the air, and kicked the door down before walking through its halls to where Hanabi's chakra signature was located.
At the Cage Bird Seal sealing room.
(With Hanabi)
"Hyuuga Hanabi, it is the decision of the Hyuuga Elders, and Clan Head Hyuuga Hanabi that you be branded with the Cage Bird Seal immediately so your older, clearly smarter sister can take her rightful place as Hyuuga Clan Heiress. After the sealing, you will be moved to the branch house, where you will be forced to produced multiple children with different male branch family members, and continue to do so until barren inside. Anything to say before we proceed?" said the Hyuuga Elder leading this proceeding.
"That this practice is wrong and that my Father should be ashamed of himself. How can you do this your own child and not think of Mother?" said Hanabi seeing Hiashi scoff like her words would reach him.
"Your Mother's marriage had nothing to do with love my failure of a child. She thought it did and I let her believe it until you werw born," said Hiashi coldly seeing Hanabi now scowling at him after the realization of those words reached her mind.
"Monster! You killed her after I was born and convince everyone it was of natural causes," said Hanabi seeing Hiashi smirk along with the Hyuuga Elders.
"It has always been the tradition of the Clan Head to have at least two children and then have them compete for the right to be in the Main House. Why should Hinata's birth and then your's years later be any different? Though you wouldn't understand tradition just like she didn't want to believe our marriage was not out of love," said Hiashi seeing Hanabi becoming angrier by the second.
"May you burn in Hell with the rest of these inbred monsters," said Hanabi seeing the group before her scowling at the insult.
"You'll regret saying those words to us after the sealing my dear. Of that, we will make sure of, and may even help in your breeding," said another Hyuuga Elder smirking at the girl before him.
Anything else that would be said was silenced by the sound of fighting outside of the room and the body of a Hyuuga was sent through the wall for them to see before the form of Namikaze Naruto stepped through it.
"I'm here for my date with Hyuuga Hanabi. Step away from her now!" said Naruto seeing the Hyuuga Elder in charge of the sealing glaring at him with his Byakugan.
"Not a chance. This fool of a Hyuuga is going to be part of the Branch family and breeding stock for our clan," said the Hyuuga Elder before moving the ink brush in his hands towards Hanabi's forehead, but stopped halfway when he found his arm was no longer attached to his body, and was now on the floor, with Naruto standing next to the Elder with a blue reiatsu-made katana.
"It wasn't a request," said Naruto kicking the Elder into the wall.
"Demon abomination!" said Hyuuga Hiashi standing up preparing to strike Naruto down.
"Says the man that killed his own wife. I may have some demonic blood in my veins, but no demon would dare kill his mate, and the bond the two share. Such a pathetic thing you are Hyuuga Hiashi. It's a good thing Hanabi-chan is more like her Mother then you," said Naruto seeing Hiashi practically snarling at him.
"Don't compare me to your defiled blood monster," said Hiashi, as he moved to for an instant kill against Naruto, and missed with his intended strike before being socked in the face towards the wall before aiming his Cero at the Hyuuga Elders about to strike from their own positions.
"I'll do what I must to get my point across you weak fool! Hanabi-chan will not be made a Branch family member and she will certainly not be your breeding machine for your little inbred clan. Come on Hanabi-chan, let's get the Hell out of here," said Naruto helping the girl up to her feet and gave the Hyuuga a once over to make sure there were no marks or any other seals they may have put on her.
"Thank you Naruto-kun. When I came home, they surrounded, and locked me away in my room until now. I tried to fight them, but they were too many, and I...I'm just so weak! I'm not worthy of being a girl of interest for you," said Hanabi, as she was about to run away fleeing to her room, but Naruto's grip on her hand never left, and found herself soon in his arms while crying.
"You're not weak Hanabi-chan. You didn't stay silent when given the option. You still spoke out against the sealing, your Father, and insulted them all despite knowing what was about to happen. There is strength in you Hanabi-chan. Strength they fear and have tried to keep suppressed for so long," said Naruto before looking at the Hyuuga Elders glaring at him for the inference in their clan affairs.
"You won't get away with this!" said Hyuuga Hiashi seeing Naruto looking at him now.
"I disagree. Try to stop me from taking her away from this Hellhole and I will do what Itachi did to the Uchiha Clan leaving only a handful of people to rebuild this fallen clan," said Naruto seeing Hiashi tense and saw the Hyuuga Elders did too.
"This isn't over," said Hiashi knowing that the laws of Konoha would bring his daughter back and not even the demon boy could fight them.
"Your right. Its not over. It will be though after I proceed to rip out your spine in public should you try anything!" said Naruto taking Hanabi out of the sealing room and quickly out of the Hyuuga Clan Compound.
"What do we do now?" said Hanabi looking up at her crush.
"I thought it was obvious? We go on our date!" said Naruto before handing the girl the flowers he tucked away.
"B-But my Father! And the Hyuuga Elders, t-they...they will...," said Hanabi knowing they would sent out the entire clan to hunt him down.
"Do nothing. They talk a big game, but Tsunade won't stand for their actions, and neither will I for that matter. After what just happened, you deserve to have a good time, and enjoy tonight," said Naruto seeing Hanabi look unsure for a moment, but then saw that resolve in her, and saw the girl nodding with determination.
"I would love to go on our date Naruto-kun. Though I need some clothing considered proper for a date since my robes are not meant for it," said Hanabi looking down at the state of dress she was in and blushed knowing what lay beyond the robes was only one article of clothing.
"I know just the woman to help you before we go on our date," said Naruto knowing her state of dress wasn't something for the public eye.
(Namikaze Estates)
"So that's what happened? Every bit?" said Candice with a twitching eyebrow and saw Hanabi blushing under the Thunderbolt's gaze.
"Down to the last word. Tomorrow, Hanabi-chan is going with me to the Hokage to make sure they don't try anything, and decided before that she gets the date that was about to be denied. Think you can help her Candi-chan?" said Naruto seeing Candice being conflicted right now, as she was clearly jealous of Hanabi getting time with Naruto, and didn't like helping her rival even if she didn't know they were rivals for the Namikaze's heart.
"Of course Naruto-sama," said Candice though she knew that he knew her words were stressed before leading Hanabi to the her new room.
"Thank you for doing this Candice-san," said Hanabi, as she sat down in the chair with the mirror present, and saw in the reflection the Thunderbolt summon a closest of clothing that would fit the Hyuuga girl.
When the two finally came downstairs, Naruto smiled at how beautiful Hanabi looked, and then his smile widened slightly at the way the two seemed to be closer to each other a little.
"You look beautiful Hanabi-chan. Thank you for making this possible Candi-chan," said Naruto seeing the girls blush at his praise.
"Thank you Naruto-kun/sama," said the two girls at the same time.
"If the lady would take my hand, we can get our date started, and show you the time of your life," said Naruto extending his hand and Hanabi taking it with a blush on her face.
(With Naruto and Hanabi)
Naruto smiled at Hanabi, who was blushing most of the time around him, as she had never been this close to her crush in such a way before, and to feel his arm wrapped around her body felt good. They talked openly to each other during their walk to the restaurant about their likes, dislikes, hobbies, and anything else they could think of. When they got to the restaurant however, the waiter refused to seat him claiming the new "no demons" policy, and had a right to refuse customers even if they were with a Hyuuga. After flipping the man off before telling him the afterlife would be cruel when dead, Naruto decided dinner could wait back at the Namikaze Estates, and just enjoy their time out together.
All the while getting surprised looks from people when walking by.
"Naruto-kun, they're staring at us," said Hanabi, as she was still shy at being seen around him, and he just chuckled at her trying to somehow hide under his larger form.
"Let them. You're happy being next to me right? Show it," said Naruto seeing Hanabi look up and nod before straightening slightly while trying to not look shy at being close to him.
(Namikaze Estates-Hours Later)
"I really had a wonderful time Naruto-kun, but I don't want to impose staying here at your home, and be an unwanted guest. I could stay with one of the other girls tonight until we see the Hokage and...," said Hanabi, but a finger from Naruto's hand touched her lips, and silenced any further words.
"Nonsense. You are my honored guest tonight. I have more then enough room for you to stay here if only for the night. Candi-chan will help you get settled in," said Naruto seeing Hanabi looking not so sure.
"Did the date go well?" said Candice coming down the steps giving a respectful bow to both of them.
"For the most part though the restaurant was less receptive then I would have hoped. No matter. I'll prepare us a meal while you go with Candi-chan to change into something more casual," said Naruto before giving Candice a smile and a nod.
(Hokage Tower-The Next Day)
The new female Hokage was not having a good morning, which she originally suspected was going to be the case for many years to come until Naruto took her position, and did his own thing with the village. Speaking of the gaki, he was currently in the room, telling her what had happened the previous night with the Hyuuga Clan when heading their to take Hanabi out on a date, with the girl right beside him telling about what she learned, and how they were going to possibly retaliate against the Namikaze. Hanabi did not want to have the Cage Bird Seal on her head, as it was barbaric to do that to family, and had desired its removal since the moment her Uncle Hizashi had been hurt by it when she was a child.
"Well, I can see why you caused a lot of damage, which explains why there are so many Hyuuga members in the hospital right now with missing limbs, and broken bodies. The issue with the Cage Bird Seal has always been an issue after the Hyuuga Clan came to the village shortly after its founding., but they were able to dodge the issue, and have built up enough of a political power base to let it drop when that power is needed," said Tsunade, as she had been swamped early that morning in helping Shizune heal so many Hyuuga at once, and all them had to be sedated after they kept saying "The demon did this! The demon did this!" constantly to her.
It was annoying to say the least.
"No doubt Hiashi will try to make a case out of this with you at the next Council meeting, demanding his daughter be returned to him, and that I be punished for interfering. Is there anything you can do to keep Hiashi off her back?" said Naruto seeing Tsunade thinking for a moment and then saw her snap her fingers.
"I got it! Hanabi will become my apprentice," said Tsunade before going through some files she had to look for some previously logged paperwork and more documents to put some new paperwork in motion.
"Me? Your apprentice?" said Hanabi, as she didn't know if it was possible since Tsunade was a well respected Medical Nin, and one of the Sannin turned Hokage!
"Sure! Besides, I was planning on doing it anyway. I read one of the reports on you, and it had information that you had some medical knowledge as well as being able to make healing creams and salves" said Tsunade seeing the girl blushing at her praise.
"But will that keep my clan and Father at bay from trying to take me back?" said Hanabi, as she knew they held considerable sway in the political realm, and could try to wrestle this out of the Hokage's hands.
"Damn straight it will. One of the oldest laws of Konoha pertain to apprenticeships and how they have to only have the consent of the parents if the student is not legally an adult. The moment you graduated Hanabi, you legally became an adult, and therefore you don't have to get consent from your Father much less your clan. If you accept my offer to be my apprentice, where you live from now on, who your with, and what you do on your down time is entirely at your discretion. All I require is you utmost commitment to being trained under me in everything I teach you from medical training to my superhuman strength to pound possible perverts that get in your way. Speaking of pounding perverts," said Tsunade, as she picked up a book and threw it at the wall, and going through it to hit Jiraiya right off his perch to go sailing down into a crater below of his own making.
"Impressive," said Hanabi knowing such a skill could be useful when mixed with Gentle Fist.
"Yep! Your eyes also benefit the healing arts because they can see things most wouldn't at first glance. The world needs more medics and I want an apprentice with the means to truly revolutionize the world with what I have to teach. Do you want in on the ground floor?" said Tsunade seeing Hanabi nodding excitedly and Naruto just grinned in approval too since it was clear he wanted the girl to be strong too.
"I would be honored!" said Hanabi as she wanted to get as strong as possible to be worthy of Naruto.
"Great! Just sign here, then here, and then finally your initial here," said Tsunade, as she handed the paperwork to Hanabi, who gave it a quick read over, and then signed it before Tsunade stamped it with her seal of approval.
"Congratulations Hana-chan. You are now an apprentice to the Hokage," said Naruto with a smile on his face.
"Thank you Naruto-kun," said Hanabi trying to keep her blush under control under his praise.
"When you aren't busy with your own training or your boyfriend, I want you at the hospital learning from me, and when its not possible to learn from me then you'll be learning from Shizune. Almost everything I know, she knows too, and can help teach you when my Hokage duties keep me from teaching," said Tsunade, as she saw Hanabi nod knowing the woman had a very demanding job, and had to manipulate the schedule to make this work.
Hanabi went to train after a quick bow to Tsunade and kiss to Naruto's cheek.
"You've got some big balls for what you pulled yesterday Naruto. Not to mention your dating the girl in the middle of all of this," said Tsunade seeing him grinning.
"I live dangerously. Comes with the occupation and my blood. After Yoru entered my head to train me, I was taught more then just physical combat, and the powers I now possess. Even when I came to the Hyuuga Compound yesterday, Hana-chan stood defiantly against her Father, and the Hyuuga Elders while giving them a piece of her mind. I find that be very sexy," said Naruto grinning further at Tsunade seeing the woman smirk.
"So strong women rock your world huh? Well just be careful when around Anko or the Inuzuka Clan females since they can be pretty strong in their own right," said Tsunade seeing Naruto nod at that knowing all about Anko and the Inuzuka's to a certain extent.
And there was also Candice and other servants to consider too.
"I'll keep that in mind," said Naruto before getting out of his chair and leaving the room.
"You kind of have to Naruto since the C.R.A. applies to your current status as the last remaining member of the Namikaze Clan," said Tsunade seeing Naruto stop at the door and look back with a smile on his face.
"I know. And only the strongest of women are going to be allowed into it if I find them worthy," said Naruto before walking out of the room.
'Damn! Now If only I were 30 years younger,' thought Tsunade before going back to her paperwork while ignoring the chibi Tsunade in her head dressed strangely like Anko telling her to be naughty.
A good shovel induced hit to the head of chibi Tsunade, some burying of the body later, and Tsunade had ended it...for now.
