Konnichiwa minna-san. I'm back with the second 'Change'. Again I'm saying, it's not a one shot. Now let's get going with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, its plot or its characters. They all belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
Drastic Change
Change 2: Change's Effects
Hinata knocked on the door of the Hokage's office, but there was no response. She knocked again, but again no response. She knocked for the third time, still no response. Then she finally entered the room.
What she saw was seven piles of assignment papers, but there waswas no sign of Naruto. She looked over the assignment papers and chuckled at the sight. No wonder Naruto didn't respond to the knocking. He was busy with the bowl from which the ramen wad quickly vanishing in his mouth.
Upon hearing the soft chuckling, Naruto looked up and blushed. He quickly began removing the piles of assignment papers as he put his bowl of ramen under the table.
First impression...
"Ho-How can I help you?" he asked.
The way he spoke was polite, so it was easy for Hinata to realise that he hadn't recognised her yet. More mischief got into her again.
"Ah, well, I'm from Kirigakure." she replied, obviously making that up.
Naruto was surprised as a number of questions flooded his mind. 'Kirigakure? I thought they'd only send Shinobi for ninmu. But she... judging from her dress, she has badge of a Shinobi... but then again... definitely no... but...'
"Umo Nanadaime-sama, daijoubu desu ga?" the disguised Hinata asked.
"Huh? Oh... daijoubu, datt-daijoubu." Naruto replied. He was going to say 'dattebayo' but stopped as he realised that she was his client, not any friend that he could act casually with.
"I see. Actually I have a phobia of crammed places, so can we go somewhere else and talk?" Hinata asked.
'What? She has a phobia of cramped places? If this is a cramped room, then does she sleep in the forest? Anyway, I gotta take her out before she dies here and I'm framed as the worst Hokage in the history. I don't want to surpass Kakashi-sensei in this thing!' Naruto thought, then he said, "Okay, we shall go to somewhere else. But before that, may I have your name please, ma'am?"
"Hai. H... Hanako desu." Hinata replied. She hoped that her stomping while speaking wasn't suspicious to Naruto.
"Okay then Hanako-san, we shall go somewhere else and talk." Naruto said as he stood up from his desk and the both made their way towards the exit.
It seemed easier than said, but actually it wasn't. Naruto was in a deeper thought than before. 'Where should I take her? I only know Ichiraku Ramen. Where the hell should we go, dattebayo?!'
He was woken up from his thoughts by the cold breeze in the open streets. He looked at Hanako (Hinata) who was walking a few yards away from him, but still was very close to him, like she had a habit of doing so. He thought for another second and finally had an idea. 'Matte, I know a place!'
They walked for another ten minutes. Naruto wondered if everyone who saw them was thinking that he was going to get divorced and marry her or something else. He felt awkward.
Hanako (Hinata) could feel the awkwardness rising inside Naruto. She smiled and looked away, but when she saw Boruto, she became protective of her new self. However, she missed Sarada.
Boruto's POV
'Is that Tou-chan? Who's that woman with him? Is she his client? Or is he... Sonna! By the way, is that Tou-chan's Kage Bunshin? I gotta check it out.'
"Byakugan!" I say as I activate mine. I look at Tou-chan, but turns out that it's not his Kage Bunshin, but Tou-chan himself. Quite unexpected.
"Oi dobe! What're you doing?" a familiar voice comes. I find put that it is Sarada's.
"Nothing, really." I reply.
"Then why's your Byakugan activated? Are you stalking someone?" she says. The I notice that I forgot to deactivate mine.
"Arigatou and no. I just needed to check a thing." I say.
"Hmm. Actually I came to check on Papa as well. You see, he's been away for a few years now, so when he came back, he had to treat us." Sarada says.
"You too? I came to check on Tou-chan as well. Look." I point at the direction, "He's hanging out with a woman."
"Are you sure that's not his client?"
"C'mon Sarada, I thought you knew better than this. None of his client would walk so close with him or hold his hands." I reply.
"Then maybe he's finished his work and decided to hang out. What can we do about it?" Sarada says.
"Decided to hang out? If he's finished his work, then why not come home? Why not spend some more time with Kaa-chan and Himawari? Why hang out with an other woman?" I say, trying not to fall behindbehind the conversation.
"Well look. That woman's chakra's similar to Hinata-san's." Sarada points out. I look at the directed direction with my Byakugan activated, and what she said just now was true. Not even a flinch of difference. It really is Kaa-chan's. The key to all the mysteries appears. I look at Sarada whose eyes were sparkling.
"Then why don't we have some fun?" she suggests. I smirk.
"Yeah we shall."
