A/N: I don't want to make this story long, but as I write it, it becomes longer than I expected, so it might take more than 15 chapters depend on how I play out all the details. Probably 2 more chapters and hopefully we will reach the climax; so be patient with me, I need some set up before I could wrap this story up nicely; but I will make the next two chapters as interesting and worth reading as possible.

Ino's genius plan #1: Execute: Ino, allies and helpers: unknown for now
Naruto's body was shaking with anger as he ran toward Hinata; he didn't know what to make of the figure in front of him. This was Hinata, but it was also not Hinata. The Hinata in front of him was wearing something like a dress with no shelves or collar, which revealed most of her breast; the dress was very short and tightly embraced her body that everyone could see every line and curves of her body. The problem was that they were in the middle of the winter and Hinata was shivering under the icy wind. It must be that brainless Ino that made Hinata wear something like this; what if she got a cold? His blood boiled faster and faster as he approached Hinata; to make the matter worse, every men around the gate was looking at Hinata like some kind hungry animals looking at food. Ino, that stupid woman, what was she thinking in her little brain, to kill his wife under the cold weather, and even worse display her like a toy in front of those hungry pervert eyes.. He took his jacket out and put it on Hinata.
"Naruto-kun, when did you.."
"Take this and go home to change immediately."
"But we just, we didn't even begin our date yet."
"I don't want this date anymore, let's go home."
Hinata tried hard to held back her tears. She had expected his date for so long, had done everything in her power to make it a memberable date, she was so scared of screwing this up, and the result was this. She screwed up her long-awaited date before it even started. What was the problem? Why was Naruto-kun so angry?
Seeing tears in her eyes, Naruto immediately explained
"Hinata, I'm sorry. It is not because of you. I just don't want you to catch a cold. Let's go home to change so that we could begin our date again. I don't want to screw this up, believe me, I really want this date."
"Naruto-kun, really, do you really want to continue this?"
"Of course, Hinata, sorry for being a jerk. I was just overreacting, that's all."
"Do you not like this dress? Do I look really bad in it?"
Naruto frowned as he asked,
"Did Ino ask you into wearing this?"
"Hai."
Flashback:
It was the day after Naruto left. Hinata was on her way back home after the trainning with Neji, then Ino appeared out of nowhere and confronted Hinata,
"Hey Hinata, do you want to go shopping with me?"
"Shopping. I've never went shopping before, but I might need to go home."
"It is still very early, and why would you need to go home? Naruto was on a mission, isn't he? Won't you feel a little bit lonely? Let's go shopping, I'll make you into a wife that every husband would desire."
"But"
"Let's go"
So Ino dragged Hinata from store to store, trying countless fashionable dresses and skirts.
"Ino-chan, I don't think I need to have a dress. I'm very comfortable with my current clothes."
"That's the problem. You are now a married woman, you need more than comfortable clothing, you need sexy clothes, those that will knock your husband out with just a glance. Look at this dress, with this, Naruto could never resist you."
"But..it is too revealing."
"Listen to me, Hinata. Although you are married now, you are very inexperienced in making a man desire you. To keep Naruto's heart, you have to make him desire you every day, every minute, every second. Listen to me, every man is a pervert, once you hold their weaknesses in your hand, feeding their eyes and minds with every image of you, of your sexy body, of the way you move your hip or sway your breast a little, with all of those mental images, they would never leave you, never."
"That stupid Ino."
Naruto tightened his grips. That stupid Ino, more like making him desiring her, she made every man in the village desire her, HIS WIFE, and how stupid she was to think that she had a lot of experiences in relationships. According to Otouchan, desire was the first step to a marriage downfall. No wonder she had not even found herself a man. But he would not tell her his secrets because NOW he didn't mind at all having to witness her living the rest of her life alone, never blessed with children.
"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun."
"That's not your fault, it is Ino's for not considering the weather. I just don't want you to catch a cold. And beside.." he smiled brightly as he continued "I think you look better with your old clothes. Hinata is best with just being Hinata. You don't have to change for me. I like you best when you are just being yourselves."
"Thank you, Naruto-kun."
"Let's go home. I can't wait for the date, dattebayo."
In a corner, Ino talked with her allies and supporters as the couple headed home
"See, the plan worked wonderfully. He cannot resist her even for just a second and immediately takes her home to finish their deeds. Hee hee hee! This operation is a piece of cake. Tsunade-sama should not gather too many people, only me is enough. Let's head to the Hokage's Tower and let her know that our mission is an immediate success."
Ino's genius plan #1: Execute: Ino, allies and helpers: unknown for now. Results: Imaginary success, reality fail.
A/N: if you wonder where was Neji, look at the other corner just across Ino's one. He was lying unconsciously on the ground due to the loss of blood from massive mega nosebleeds.
Tsunade's pre-plan: Execute: Tsunade, allies and helpers: none.
In the Hokage Office.
"Tsumade-sama. According to our investigation, Naruto and Hinata have not falled into Ino's plan as she reported." Shizune talked while looking at the report.
"I guess so. It would not be easy."
"I still cannot believe that Naruto and Hinata could be so navie."
"They are still very young, and as shinobis they have to handle various dangerous and intense situations, there is no time for them to learn about love. For Naruto, he has to bear the burden of creating peace for the whole shinobi world. For Hinata, she has to bear the burden of becoming the next heir, she has to become strong and worthy with the title. And we, adults, never teach them anything but how to become a strong shinobi and how to kill. To be honest, not a lot of shinobis care about relationships, and most of us live alone until the day we die. Hiashi has taken advantages of the situation, right before they have a chance to ask others and learn about relationships, he has poisoned them with false information and advises, making it more difficult for us to reteach them and guide them to the right path. Besides, it is a very sensitive subject and not easy to explain clearly to them."
"But don't they all have guidance? I mean Naruto has Jiraya-sama and Kakashi, I don't want to say it, but Jiraya-sama is the pervert saint and Kakashi is quite a closet pervert. And Hinata has Kunerai."
"It is true. But Jiraya didn't do anything but peeping and flirting, the same habit of my gambling. I believe he didn't do anything beyond that. Even if he did, do you think he would show it to a 13 year old boy or teach him about it? Naruto was still very young at that time, and they had better thing to do. I think Jiraya thought Naruto was enough a pervert to take care of himself in the future. And Kakashi, to be honest, he is no better than Naruto even with or without Icha Icha. He could not do a thing, remember the time when he read a page from Icha Icha and what became of his face after that?"
They both laughed uncontrollably until Tusnade stopped and continued:
"About Kurenai, sure she could teach Hinata about relationships and stuffs, but she might think that Hinata could not need them in the near future, she is still very young after all. Besides, Hinata has her special training, and I think that is one of the reason Kurenai does not want to distract Hinata with stuffs that she might not use in the near future."
"So what we need to do now, Tsunade-sama?"
"We have a whole army to support us and distract Hiashi when the time comes. For now call Naruto in, I need to talk with him."
"Hai, Tsunade-sama"
XxXxXxXx
"Bachan, what's up? I think we all agree on the fewer missions per month, don't tell me you want to change your mind now?"
"Of course not, and yes I did change my mind but not in a bad way. You can stay here at the village for now, help me with my paper work and learn how to be a Hokage."
"What? You don't want to cage me in this village, do you?"
"Of course not. Naruto, I'm getting old, and believe it or not, being a Hokage is not an easy task. I need some help, and I also want to train you. There is a lot to be learn, just having new and powerful ninjustsu is not enough. I want you to spend more time in the village, trying to understand more about our shinobies, strengthen your bonds with everyone in the village, and in the mean time you will properly be prepared to become a good leader."
"I'm feeling ok with interacting with everyone in this village now, everyone seems to like me, I don't have any problem."
"Naruto, there is something I don't want to tell you, but it's best if you know about it. Sasuke...*sigh* I never approve you to bring him back, but since it is important to you, I don't mind letting you do what you want. During these two years, you might not be aware of this because you were not in the village that often, but Sasuke had gained substantial supports from many shinonies and villagers, even many elders from the council and noble clans. At first, people didn't like him, but with your guarantees and pleads, they have changed their mind and tried to accept him once more. To everyone eyes, now he is a hardworking, talented shinobi who has resented his past mistake and willing to do anything to pay for his sins. Even without Sharingan, his talents have surpassed countless elite ninjas. Everyone is enchanted by his charms, talents, and his cool attitudes. Many people has compared you to him, saying that he is much a better representative for our village. He even has influences within my offices, I have many time seen him with his fan girls from the tower, he has his own fan club within this Hokage tower."
"Bachan, isn't it a good thing, that he is loved and respected by many, isn't it what we always want?"
"Naruto, answer me this. Do you trust him from the bottom of your heart?"
Naruto looked down. He was not a fool, he knew, he knew deep in his heart from the moment he brought Sasuke back that he could not trust Sasuke. Even now, he still had nightmares about what Sasuke could do to the village that it woke him up and made him shiver helplessly for the whole night. He still believed in Sasuke though, he still trusted the old Sasuke, the part that was still somewhere in Sasuke, that he would change. He still hoped that he could somehow wash all his pain and hate away. He sighed, he knew from the last time he checked on Sasuke that there was something up, there was something wrong, although he could not find out what. Sasuke was too calm and too perfectly fine to be true.
"What do you want me to do, bachan? Do you want me to kill him?"
"Could you bring yourselves to do that even as I ask you to?"
"I will die with him."
"Then forget about it, just stay at the village. Watch over him closely and do what ever you want to do. As long as you stay in the village, as long as we have you, there is no need to worry. But.." Tsunade smiled deviously as she continued "we still need to pay off the last debts, and in order to do so, I have prepare for you a very great job that you will like."
"What? Bachan, I think the whole contract is off, I am not your slave anymore, why do I have to pay off your debt?"
Tsunade's eyes now filled of tears and she began to sob uncontrollably. She continued to talk between the sobbing,
"Here *hic* I have *hic* been so nice to you *hic*. I never want you to be my slave *hic*. It was an accident *hic*. And you should be grateful for me *hic*, if not for that, you could never find a wife like Hinata *hic*.With your brain and appearances *hic*, it is highly possible that you will be alone for the rest of your life. I have done countless things for you *hic*, have you ever seen any Jinjuriki who could leave the village and do what they want like you *hic*? I even save S-rank missions just for you *hic*, I even help you to bring Sasuke back *hic*, I even defend you in front of the council and other Kages *hic*. Now you are all powerful and mighty *hic*, you don't need to care about me anymore *hic*, let the debtors kill me and throw my body for crows to eat *hic*; that way you don't have to even make a funeral for me *hic*... *hic* ...*hic*. I just want to ask you one more favor *hic*, when I die could you put my left over bone in the same tomb with my dear Dan *hic*. And when you have children, please tell them that their Baa-baa loved them very much *hic*..*hic*..*hic*"
"Bachan. I'm just kidding. Please don't cry. I'm sorry. I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
"Really?"
Even a baka like Naruto could not help but be surprised at how quickly those tears left her eyes, and how her face turned into a very brightened one, full of hope and delight. He sighed, she was still his bachan after all, how could he deny her of anything.
"Of course Bachan, you know that I can not deny you of anything. Just say what you want."
"Oh, Naruto. Look at this; I have a plan to publish a book, your book, about your adventures and tales, how you grew up and became a man you are today. I want to have at least 12 volumes of them, so I need those books to be as detailed as possible, making them as long as possible, of course adding a lot of interesting events and even romance to trigger the reader's curiosities and interests."
"The way you say it makes me think that you want me to write it."
"Who else could do the task? Do you think I have money to hire someone to write your story? It is about your life after all, so you should be the one to write it. Think of this as a chance to let this whole world know about you better. It is one of the step to become a Hokage."
"But it is a lot of work, and you want me to help you with the paper work, so I have to work with paper all day, you know how bad I am working with paper and pencil."
"You just bad with tests and exams, this is different. You know how to write, right? That's enough, Shizune will help you with the paper work. Don't you always want to spend more time with your friends and Hinata? This is a perfect opportunity. Use it well."
"You are right. Thank you, bachan."
"Oh, one more thing, to educate young shinobies about marriage I have opened a workshop about relationships and how to become a successful married couple. Take Hinata with you to the Tower this Saturday, it will be very helpful to both of you."
"That would be great. I'll be there. At what time, bachan?"
"In the evening, of course."
"But we have dinner with Otou-chan every Saturday night."
"It's such a pity. All of your friends will be there. Don't blame me later on if they have children faster and more than you even if you are the first to get married. I wonder what you will think if Sai has at least two this year while you still have zero."
"We are working really hard at it. Believe me, bachan, otou-chan has told me some secrets to have a bunch of children in no time."
"But nothing has happened yet, hast it? This workshop might help you to achieve your goal faster and more effectively. There are many secrets that even people like Hiashi do not know."
"Um, sure. I'll take Hinata there. I'm sure Otou-chan would not mind."
"Don't tell Hiashi about it, and tell Hinata to keep it a secret, too. Don't talk to anyone about it, even your friends. I have told them to keep silent too; so don't discuss with them about it. This is supposed to be a secret mission to strengthen our village. It is important that only a few know about it so that people from other village could not copy us and reproduce faster than us. On the second thought, don't even tell Hinata about it, just take her here on Saturday, think of some excuses to both her and Hiashi. Remember, when you get you foot out of this door, don't open your mouth to say a word about this workshop. Don't tell anyone. This is a top secret mission."
"Oh, it sure sounds very important. I will not say a word about this. I promise."
"Good, very good. You can leave now. Go to the mission hall to collect your money for the last mission."
"Wow, you are strangely nice today, bachan."
"You are not my slave anymore, and besides if you do a good job on the book, we can pay off our debts once and for all."
" You mean your debts."
Tsunade's pre-plan: Execute: Tsunade, allies and helpers: none.
Results: unknown effect in the future. Mission completes.
"Shizune, you can take off the silence ninjustsu now"
"Hai, Tsunade. I also placed a genjustsu outside this office. There would not be a soul who know what is really going on in here."
"With Hiashi, too much caution is never enough, but I have a lot of back up plans. There is no need to hurry."
A/N: I really want to wrap up this story and move to the next one, but I also don't want to rush the plots; so please tell me what you think. Is this story too slow? Too fast? Too boring? or too much information? Is there anything you want me to change about this story or is it ok the way it is? If possible I would not change too much though since I have the plot and ending all play out, but any contructive criticism is encouraged and will be taken into consideration.
Also once I finish this story I want to do another long story about Naruhina, so any ideas or requests are welcomed.
And don't forget to review if you like this chapter.
