Ok so here's chapter 8. I hope you enjoy it! Please review! I need more feedback! I own nothing.
"Come on you idiot! This is your sixth plan! Don't you think Hiashi knows you're up to something?!" Kiba yelled, having the guts to voice what the others were thinking.
"I got it this time though! Look Shikamaru possesses Hiashi with his shadow possession jutsu then Chouji will grab him with his huge hands so when the shadow possession is over he still can't move! Then you, and Neji convince him that I'm a good guy for Hinata and not a total loser!" Naruto explained feeling confident about this plan, after all sixth times the charm right?
"And shall I tell him about the lotus of youth and how it blooms between you and Hinata?" Lee had sparkles in his eyes and a twinkle in his smile.
"Ughhhh yeah bushy brow go ahead and do that...anyway I'm calling this operation success 6.0!" Naruto threw his fist in the air and started marching towards the Hyuuga compound.
"Where do you think you're going Naruto?" Neji asked in his typical calm voice, "don't you remember? You're not allowed anywhere near the compound. So go and do whatever you've been doing these past 5 missions."
"Oh right. Hehehe I forgot. Just convince him I'm a good guy. Report back to me when this is done!"
As Naruto walked away the guys looked at each other. Kiba spoke first.
"So are we actually going to do this mission or do like we did with three to five? I don't know about you but I know a certain gal I'd like to spend time with. Neji understands me right?" Kiba winked and gave a wicked grin as he nudged Neji with his elbow.
"Let's just try this one", there were groans amongst the group, "look guys I know it's troublesome but we owe it to Naruto, he's done a lot for all of us."
The group mumbled in agreement as they headed towards the Hyuuga compound. Neji walked inside going to fetch Hiashi. The two were walking out moments later.
"I'm telling you, Tenten made you a huge chocolate cake, but it's too big to carry inside so it's outside on a wagon," Neji was running out of lies to tell Hiashi to get him outside.
"This better not be another mis-" Hiashi was stopped in his tracks, "wha? I..I can't move! Neji! What is the meaning of this?! This is another one of those stupid plans that brat has concocted isn't it?"
Moments later, Chouji's expanded hands clasped tightly around Hiashi. Neji gave an unapologetic look knowing he won't be able to sneak Tenten into the compound for months.
"This is another plan by the blonde idiot sir," Kiba told Hiashi, "but you have to admire him, he's come up with six plans just to convince you he's worthy of your daughter."
"Six? You have all only tried something like this twice before," Hiashi looked confused. Maybe that was slightly admirable.
"That is correct sir. We have only tried talking to you twice but he actually came up with 6 plans in total," Neji told his uncle.
"Please Hiashi sir! You must let Naruto date Hinata! The lotus cannot fully blossom if it is not nurtured and loved! They need each other for it to blossom!" Lee shouted, twirling among a shower of sparkles to emphasize his point. They all stared at him a look of confusion on all of their faces. Kiba pushed Lee out of the way.
"Ignore him, look the point is Naruto isn't a bad guy. If he's dating Hinata you should be happy because he cares about his friends more than anyone I know. And he cares for Hinata. If he's going through the effort to think of these plans he must really love her. Why not give him a chance? Invite him over to dinner, get to know him. What's the harm?" Kiba told Hiashi. All the other boys nodded in agreement.
At this point Chouji was growing weary and Hiashi sensed that. He broke free of Chouji's grip and stared hard at the boys.
"Hinata has failed me enough already. I cannot control her skill level but I can control who is courting her. The orphaned brat of this village is not one I'd want to call my son-in-law. Now, get out of my sight. And Neji? I think we should have a chat tonight after dinner." He glared at Neji so intensely that the Hyuuga prodigy gulped audibly.
~Meanwhile, we find Naruto killing time in Tsunade's office~
"I just don't get it granny Tsunade! Why wouldn't he want me for his daughter? I'm an excellent ninja, with amazing skills and determination. I really care about her and I take care of my friends! I just don't get it!"
Tsunade stared at the boy pacing her office. She was rubbing her temples trying to get him to shut up. He has been in her office for hours for the past 6 days. It was driving her crazy. Especially since he wouldn't shut up about Hiashi and his approval. She had an idea. She stood up abruptly and shouted.
"I will talk to him Naruto! Just. Get. Out. Now!" Naruto ran out of the hokage's office fearing Tsunade's wrath.
Tsunade walked quickly to the Hyuuga compound wanting to get this over with. She pounded on the door and waited for someone to open the door. A few moments later, a guard opened the door.
"Oh! Uh Lady Tsunade, what brings you here?" The guard asked
"Hiashi, I need to speak with Hiashi. Now please." Tsunade followed the guard into the main house. She was led into an office where Hiashi was seated.
"Ah, Lady Tsunade. What brings you here?"
"Look Hiashi, I don't have time for small talk. I've had a little pest in my office for the past few days and all he talks about is you and Hinata. It's driving me crazy. I am ordering you to allow Naruto to see your daughter. Whether or not he lives up to your standards shouldn't matter. If your daughter is happy then you should be happy. That's kind of how it works." Tsunade began to walk away. As she was almost out the door she called out.
"Plus, if it helps, Naruto is not just an Uzumaki, he's a Namikaze. He's the fourth's son. That should please you." With that last bit of information Hiashi sat up and decided he needed to reevaluate his previous decision on the boy.
