Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Hinata awoke to find herself lying on her bed with Naruto beside her going through her dresser putting her cloths in a bag. The first thing to come to her at that moment was a sense of overwhelming joy that the events of a few hours ago were in deed true and not just some wonderful dream. She was engaged to Naruto. The thought filled her with warmth that she could feel in her very soul. It was so weird though that Naruto had just asked her to marry him when yesterday he was going on and on about wanting to marry Sakura. Could Naruto just be using her as a last resort? No, what she felt from Naruto when he kissed her and proposed was a realization that she was the only one he wanted to be with. When they kissed there was no doubt in his mind, she could feel it. Now the only thing she could think of was why was Naruto putting her stuff in her travel bag?
"Naruto? What are you doing?"
Naruto looked over to see that Hinata was awake and gave her a smile that made Hinata almost melt.
"Oh you're awake. I'm sorry for going through your things without asking, but Uncle Kenji told me to have your bags packed before he is finished talking to your dad."
"Why do my bags need to be packed are we going somewhere with your uncle?"
"Well…you heard about me being the grandson of the Grand Master and how I'm going to be the next Grand Master right?"
"Of course I did, it was all Shino and Kiba could talk about."
"Well, I have to travel to the Village of Heaven to meet my family and train right now and you are coming with me. You see Uncle Kenji says that my grandfather would like to see me married before he dies and the rest of the family wants to meet you as well."
"But Naruto, we've only been engaged for 2 hours, don't you think things are going kind of fast?"
"Normally, yes things are going to fast, but Hinata you and I are not a normal couple. We are one of the few couples in the world who are actually meant to be together. All those years we were not together were painful for you right?"
"Yes they were painful Naruto."
"I know that now and every second that we are not together is painful for me now to. Hinata this is one of the few cases where rushing into marriage is actually going to be good for our relationship. I want to be with you Hinata and for once in my life things are actually going perfect for me. I want you to be a part of my new perfect life…will you?"
"Naruto, you know you never have to ask that. I'll always be with you."
"Great. I have your bags packed now so why don't we say goodbye to your dad."
Naruto takes Hinata's bag and flings it over his shoulder, he then holds out his other hand for Hinata. Hinata blushes and holds Naruto's hand and together they walk out of her room.
Hiashi and Hanabi were waiting for them near the entrance of the house. He was still getting used to the fact that Naruto was now not only the husband to his daughter, but also one of the most powerful ninja in the world. It was a lot to swallow. Hanabi on the other hand was very happy for her older sister and that Naruto finally noticed Hinata after all these years. She was the first to say something to the new couple.
"Goodbye big sister I know Naruto will make you really happy and you'll love his family. Say hi to Kenta for me, he's really cute and nice, but what daddy never got was that I only like him as a friend. I hope now he'll stop asking me to keep hitting on him. Besides he's already in love with this girl from the Village of the Mist. So just say hi for me."
"I'll do that for you, goodbye Hanabi."
Hanabi runs off leaving them with Hiashi.
"Neji is waiting to say goodbye to you with the rest of Naruto's friends by Lord Kenji's ship. I just wanted to say goodbye to you and (He cringes a bit)….Lord Naruto alone. First of all I know that I don't have to worry about you taking care of my daughter because Lord Kenji has assured me that you will be well taken care of. I just want you to know that you have made me very proud today Hinata and that I give you my complete blessing. You are a great ninja. I love you very much and I want to see grandchildren."
Hinata threw her arms around Hiashi crying.
"I love you to father."
Naruto also threw his arms around Hiashi.
"Oh come here dad!"
Hiashi's face was now eight shades of purple. This was the most uncomfortable he had ever been in his whole life. Hinata and Naruto finally let go of Hiashi, said their goodbyes, and made their way to Kenji's ship where they found everyone waiting.
Kenji walked up to them.
"Well everything has been loaded on to the ship so you can say your goodbyes to everyone now, I'll just wait."
Sakura and Sasuke came up to them.
"Well Naruto I can finally admit your better than me. You now have every advantage over me: You're the one who killed the Akatsuki leader, you're from a more prestigious family, and you're not going to be marrying Sakura. See every advantage. I guess you want to rub it in now."
Naruto grabbed Sasuke and hugged him.
"Are you kidding Sasuke you and me are like brothers and I would never make family feel bad, that is if you want to be my brother?"
"Ok Naruto I'll be your brother, but you've seen the way I treat my brothers right?"
"Goodbye Sasuke."
"Goodbye Naruto."
Sakura turns to Naruto.
"Naruto I'm so sorry that you and I never worked out."
"Don't be I'm not. If we had gotten together then I would have never gotten together with Hinata, besides I'll admit now that you and Sasuke make a much cuter couple then you and me."
"Thanks Naruto."
"Don't mention it and remember if Sasuke and I are brothers, you're my sister."
"Goodbye Naruto."
"Goodbye Sakura."
Shino and Kiba approached Naruto and Hinata.
"Naruto I can't believe that you finally got a clue and fell for Hinata. You know if you didn't fall for her soon me and Shino were going to flip a coin to see which one of us was to marry her."
Hinata all teary eyed said.
"Oh thank you guys I always knew you cared."
"Well I relieve you two of that obligation, because me and Hinata are going to be very happy."
Shino speaks up.
"We know that Naruto."
Hinata hugged them both.
"Goodbye you guys I'll miss you."
Shino and Kiba both said goodbye and allowed Neji, TenTen, and Rock Lee to say farewell.
"Goodbye Naruto you were a good friend and a powerful opponent. Normally I would say that I will train hard to surpass you, but Guy Sensei said that with the training you will receive that you will be unbeatable."
"Don't worry Lee I'll always need a sparing partner."
At that moment Guy appeared out of know where.
"Lee!!!!!!! You hear that!! The Grand Master wants to use you as a sparing partner!!! You will have to train hard just to take his punches!! Now 1000 laps around the village now!!
"Yes Sensei!!!!!! I will train hard to take those punches like a man!!!! Bye Naruto!!!
Lee and Guy run off leaving everyone else thinking that the two of them really need a life.
Neji turned to Naruto and Hinata.
"First of all let me say I'm sorry once again. I have always called you two weak and now fate has made you mightier then I could have ever dreamed of.
Hinata hugged Neji.
"I forgive you and so does Naruto."
"Yea I can't stay mad at you Neji."
"Naruto I know you'll make a good husband."
TenTen kisses Neji.
"Speaking of being a good husband did you know that Neji and I are getting married as well."
Hinata and Naruto at the same time yelled.
"What!?"
"Yea I gave her the ring last night we haven't told anyone yet."
"Well congratulations."
"Just don't tell anyone ok."
"Fine we won't."
Neji and TenTen wished Naruto and Hinata off and then Gaara, Temari, Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru approached them.
"Naruto it's too bad you got engaged before you and I could have some fun."
"That's ok Ino I think Hinata and I will have enough fun for a lifetime and besides don't you already like Choji."
Choji almost choked on his chips.
"What!? You like me Ino?
"Well the thing is…….um….you see……I saw you use that jutsu with the pills and the wings on your back and you looked so bad ass that I've kind of been thinking about you a lot lately"
"You really think I looked bad ass?"
"Well you don't look bad ass now."
"I see so you only like me when I'm thin is that it!"
"Yes!!!! That's all I ask Choji is that you just be thin for me. Am I really being that selfish to want a thin husband?"
"You want to me to be your husband?"
"I never said that."
"Yes you did Ino. Fine you want a thin bad ass husband, than I have a few demands of my own to discuss with you. Bye Naruto I have to go, Ino and I have to go plan our future."
"But Choji maybe if we just……."
Choji took Ino and carried her off.
"So Shikamaru if this day has taught me anything then I should be asking you when you and Temari are getting married."
"You don't have to because Temari and I are not "getting" married…..we already are married."
Normally Hinata and Naruto would be surprised by this, but the way today was going this was not at all surprising.
"How long have you two been married?"
"About a year now."
"And you didn't tell anyone until now why?"
"I told my parents and her brothers, that was about it. I didn't think it was that important to tell everyone else."
"You do love her right?"
"Meh."
"What? What do you mean Meh?"
"All I'm saying is that I enjoy spending time with her, I enjoy talking with her, I enjoy sleeping with her, and I would die for her, but other then that I don't feel comfortable doing anything to mushy."
"Temari how do you feel about this?"
"I'm fine with it. I know he loves me and that he's too much of a lazy ass to tell me how he really feels."
"Gaara how do you feel?"
Gaara just turned his head and a rain cloud appeared over his face. Temari tries to speak for him.
"He's just being dramatic. Gaara is just a little uncomfortable with the idea of Shikamaru being a part of his family, but he'll get over it."
"She's right I will "get over it" in time. Lord Naruto I would like you to know that I wish you all the best."
"Thanks Gaara and please don't address me as a lord."
After Naruto and Hinata said goodbye to Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya they boarded the ship and Kenji took some time to say his own goodbye.
"Kakashi you have done well as a sensei and I know that Arashi would be proud of you."
"Jiraiya, Naruto told me about all you've done for him and I want to personally thank you."
"Ah Lady Hokage could you do me a big favor."
"What would that be?"
"Naruto told me about a ninja named Umino Iruka and since he happens to be away from the village right now, when he comes back please give him this letter from me."
"I will."
"Oh and one more thing are you sure you wouldn't want to come with me, we could do some things that would be illegal in 3 countries."
"No that's ok I'm fine right where I am."
"Ok…well bye everybody."
Kenji boards the ship and it takes off into the sky with everyone waving goodbye. When the ship is out of view Jiraiya turns to Tsunade.
"You know Kenji could have given you a night of sex so unbelievable you would forget your own name."
"How would you know and why is it so important that I sleep with him?"
"Let's just say that the women who have sex with Kenji are usually more open to new ideas with other guys."
"Lucky for me I will never have sex with him."
She thought for a moment and then asked.
"Jiraiya, you really do believe that it would be the best sex of my life?"
"Remember that feeling you got when he kissed your lips…well just think about how good it would feel if he kissed your…….
