Finally, a night of Naruhina love
I own nothing save for Original content
Naruto was asleep on his desk, with a massive scroll on the side not being used as a makeshift bed.
"Buddy, are you... done?" Kuroi said, confused on the sight he saw
"I told you he'd be asleep. No one believes the old man." Deivion told Kuroi
"Yes yes, I see, you happy now? Okay boys, get the constitution and government of the new nation ready for transport!" Kuroi said, and directed 4 soldiers to the massive scroll, and slowly carried it away
"Did you see that thing? No wonder why he's asleep." Draco said coming in as the soldiers went out
"Dude, we were in here, of course we saw it. Now lets wake him up, there's one more objective he has to complete in a few weeks, or our heads are on the chopping block." Kuroi said, holding up a old blowing horn with the head of a wolf at the end
"Let his sleep, he worked on that 20 hours straight." Deivion argued
"Too late." Kuroi said and blew a sound not unlike a air horn into his ear
"I'm up!" Naruto jumped up on his feet
"Congrats man, you have completed all but one objective." Draco said
"Whats that?" Naruto asked, already starting to fall asleep
"You got to, how they put it, have a way to create heirs. In other words, get married." Kuroi said, and preparing for a breakdown
"WHHHAAAATTT!" Naruto snapped, the lack of sleep and the news taking its toll
"Why am I the fore bearer of bad news?" Kuroi asked his fellow advisers
"Cause its in your job description of personal adviser to the emperor." Draco said, reading his job description
"Give me that!" Kuroi snatched it out of the claws of Draco
"Two weeks left and I have to find a wife!" Naruto yelled
"Relax soon to be first emperor of the elemental nations, we, your ever awesome advisers, have a plan to get you a match for eternal happiness." Kuroi said, obviously sugar coating it
"In English not insane!" Naruto yelled at him
"We found the perfect wife for you." Kuroi said in fear
Naruto calmed down, and rubbed his eyes. He knew he had to get a grip before he continued.
"Tell me who." Naruto ordered
"Hinata Hyuga." Kuroi answered
Naruto just looked at him. The room was filled with a eerie silence.
"Are you kidding me." Was what Naruto finally said
"I sorry?" Kuroi asked
"Why would she want me? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but, maybe she's moved on. I know she had a crush on me as a kid, but come on. She's 15, that's 3 years, she's moved on, probably found someone else." Naruto explained
"That's not what this says." Draco said, holding a perfectly copied Hinata's diary
"You guys are low, stealing a girls diary." Naruto said
"Did you see the guy that copied it into this, he can write as fast as Rock lee could run." Draco explained and tossed it to him
Naruto read the pages from when they first meet to present day. Every day or so at some point in the entry, in everyone, she would talk about him. She'd ask where is he or what is he doing, and try and get herself enough courage to find him and say she loved him.
"Where is she?" Naruto asked
"She and her clan have taked refugee in the land of lightning." Draco answered
"Hang on, let me get out of these clothes for a new pair, and a shower. Tell Ryu to wake up, we are going in about half an hour." Naruto said and was off
45 minutes later
"Why do you have the map Ryu, I mean, I'm the navigator here." Naruto said, while the dragon just scoffed at this and kept flying with the map still in his front claws.
The were nearing the new Hyuga residence, and it looked almost exactly the same as the old one. He landed, and the guards instantly panicked with the massive dragon at there doorstep.
"Halt, who goes there?" One of the guards asked
"Is it the same two of you that are guarding this place as the last time I came 3 years ago?" Naruto asked
"You still didn't answer my question." The guard said sternly
"Naruto Namikaze." Naruto answered
"Naruto? I remember you now." the guard said
"Position didn't change?" Naruto asked
"Nope, in the lower branch, it doesn't change much." He replied
"Can I come in?" Naruto asked
"Of course, but your large friend must say outside." The guard replied
Naruto thanked him and entered. He was surprised just how similar the two buildings were. While he did like seeing memories recreated, he wanted to find Hinata, and he found her outside in the garden. She was far more beautiful than he ever imagined. She is now 5' 2", her eyes had a tint of lavender color to them, but it was enough to make them enchanting. She had long, stomach length dark blue hair, and her skin was fair, but looked without touching it like silk.
"Hello Hinata." Naruto said calmly, but on the inside he was freaking out
"W-who are you?" Hinata asked
"Its been a while, but its me, Naruto." Naruto replied
Hinata looked at him, and then a blush came over her cheeks. She cringed up, but then jumped him and hugged him. Her grip tighted, and nothing could get her off him.
"Its you, its really you. N-naruto." She said with so much joy in her voice
"A-are you alright Hinata?" Naruto asked, now showing some of his nervousness
"Now I-I am. For these 3-3 years I dreamed a-about you. T-they say you destroyed the village, but I know you d-didn't cause it. Y-you were trying to save it, but you were risking y-your life for my life, s-selflessly, and you saved me. Even in t-that arena, you saved me, a-and taught me I can do things, I-I h-have the ability to achieve. Thank you for a-all that you've done." Hinata explained, and was crying into his shoulder with happiness, and to her shock and happiness, Naruto hugged her back
"Hinata, no one has ever said that about me. No one's ever said anything like that to me. Thank you." Naruto said, but someone was watching, and then striked
"Hinata! What do you think your doing!" Hiashi roared
"F-father!" Hinata was startled to death and jumped off Naruto
"You, after what you have done dare show your face here?" Hiashi asked in the threatening tone at Naruto and got in his face
"I was trying to see as a gesture of good faith how Hinata was doing after all these years." Naruto shot back, and using his size advantage to make Hiashi back off a little
"You slimy son of a bitch. You destroy our home then come and try and seduce my daughter? You will pay." Hiashi said and drew his sword
Naruto wasn't wearing his armor, so he got worried. Then a black shape dove out of the sky, Ryu. He hovered over Hiashi and he back off, and when enough space was created he landed. The dragon let out a massive roar, whipping Hiashi's robes, and nearly ripping them off.
"Oh, by the way, this is my new friend." Naruto said
"Get off my property, and never come back, you hear me." Hiashi warned
"Buddy, does that sound reasonable?" Naruto asked the dragon, and charged a fire blast
"No no no, don't do that, Kami, can't you think of any solution other than incinerate?" Naruto stopped his dragon
"Naruto?" Hinata asked
"You'll see me again soon Hinata, I promise." Naruto said, and the dragon flew away with him on his back
3 hours later, back at the base
"How long has he been moping like that?" Draco asked, looking in on Naruto
"Since he got back 2 and a half hours ago."Deivion replied
"Well someone should go in and talk with him." Kuroi said, and all of them looked at him, "God." he muttered then went in
"Leave me alone." Naruto said, not even looking at him
"Whats wrong? What happened?" Kuroi asked
"Hiashi you bastard!" Naruto turned around and sliced his desk in half with his sword in rage
"Hiashi, what did he do?" Kuroi asked, having the first one answered
"Everything! He ruined everything! Thanks to him I can't go back! Everything was so perfect, I had her in my arms, she gave me happiness I never had before in my life... and he destroyed it!" Naruto raged far more than he ever had
"Calm buddy, calm, we knew something like this would happen, so we planned accordingly." Kuroi said
"Really?" Naruto stopped raging to listen
"So you can't see her with him knowing, so you do it when he doesn't know about it. Consider it a date behind his back." Kuroi said, and Naruto hugged his friend
"Thank you buddy, thank you so much." He said
"You... crushing... me." Kuroi staggered out
"Sorry. I'm just relieved." Naruto said
"Do you usually have problems with mood swings like this?" Kuroi asked
"No, not really." Naruto replied
"Don't worry, we'll send a messenger to get a message to her via air mail for a date, say Friday." Kuroi said
"Alright, make sure he or she's a good shot." Naruto warned
"Don't worry, she's not just good, but the best we got." Kuroi issued
That night, Hyuga refuge
Hinata could hardly sleep. She couldn't wait for Naruto to return. With a missed chance to say she loved him, she needed another. A arrow shot through the open window, and landed at her feet. There was a scroll attached to it, and she read it.
Dear Hinata,
I know our time together was brief, and I regret it, but I will make it up to you. On Friday, if you want to, get ready in your best clothes and wait out back at about 6:30, I will come and pick you up for a date. It is entirely your choice, but if you choose to, you must be discreet.
From, Naruto
'Oh course I would Naruto. I will see you on Friday at 6:30.' She thought, and fell fast asleep with amazing dreams
Friday, 6:00
"Draco, are you sure this outfits going to work?" Naruto said through a dressing room door
"Positive, that suit will totally work." Draco replied sure of himself
"Okay, if you say so." Naruto said and came out wearing a silk suit
"You look great, you'll be bring her home in your arms bridal style in that." Draco complimented
"Good, cause I hate wearing these sorta things." Naruto replied
"Remember pal, just be yourself." Kuroi said
"Guys, I know the pressure on me right now. If she doesn't want to marry me, we all are going to say goodbye to our heads. Trust me, I'll do this in the name of our heads... and our love." Naruto said, and the Ryu flew off
Hyuga Refuge: 6:30
Hinata snuck out and was now in her garden, sitting on a bench waiting for Naruto. She wore a long, lavender dress, with long silk lavender gloves and sandals. She had makeup, not too heavy, but then again not too light. The only makeup she had was eye liner, lavender eye shadow, and red lipstick. To avoid getting detected, Ryu landed on a large tree, and used his natural camouflage in the dark to hid himself. He lowered his long neck, and Naruto walked down to his head, then gently jumped off his head to reach the ground.
"H-h-h N-naruto" Hinata greeted
"Hinata. You look... amazing." Naruto answered breathless, to which Hinata blushed
"Hurry, w-we must leave, b-before someone f-finds us." Hinata urged, and Naruto brought her to Ryu
"Don't be afraid, he's my partner, he only attacks people that I don't like, or he doesn't like. He just needs to get to know you." Naruto explained, and helped her up
She and Naruto walked across the dragons neck, and Hinata sat down on a saddle on his back. Naruto sat behind her, cause if he didn't, the force of wind as Ryu was flying would rip her right off. Silently, Ryu took off into the orange sky.
Kumogakure
The night life of Kumogakure was not unlike the night life of Konoha, alive and lots of people. Ryu landed on top of a building near a restaurant, and lowered them down on his head.
"Thanks buddy. Don't go far." Naruto said to the dragon, and he flew away
"This l-looks amazing." Hinata said amazed about the restaurant
"This place, I guess its alright for its low price." Naruto replied
"Low price? My family couldn't even get into this place." Hinata said
"Well the Oriental Dragon gave me his bank account, something about he doesn't need it cause he's living on borrowed time or something. With the money that in the treasury, nothings too expensive." Naruto explained a little boastfully
"Wow." She quietly said
"You alright?" Naruto asked
"Yes, I-I'm f-fine." Hinata answered
"I will show you to your reserved table." A waiter said, and the two followed
'Naruto has gained a lot in three years. I hope I can tell him, but I have to tell him at the right time.'
The two almost got to there table, but Hinata was nearly hit by a kunai. Naruto looked behind him to see several Hunter nin behind them. One of them was the one that got away from one and a half years ago
"Not you again." Naruto said
"Time to settle the score, someone else wants your head." The hunter nin said
"You k-know him?" Hinata asked
"Unfortunately." Naruto replied
"That's your girlfriend? I'll enjoy raping her after I kill you." The nin said
That ticked Naruto off. He didn't have his sword, but he did have it on Ryu. However Ryu was fast asleep on top of the building, and when Ryu slept, it was damn near impossible to wake him up. He did have a form of armor built into the clothes, just in case, but he was worried about Hinata.
"Hinata, catch! This will help you!" Naruto said
He threw her some gilded wristbands, a banded silk and cotton with gold painted chain-mail grafted to it to her. She put them on, and the used them to block a overhand strike from one of the nin's swords. Another joined in, and Hinata used the wristbands as shields to block there attacks.
"RYU! WAKE UP YOU OVERGROWN IGUANA! I NEED YOUR HELP HERE!" Naruto roared as he got the Nin in a choke hold
The dragon still didn't wake up. One of the Nin grabbed Hinata, but she elbowed him in the neck and then juken striked him in the temple, killing him instantly. The other had a worse fate. She kicked him with her heels in the nuts, and then thirty two palmed him in the face. The one Naruto had elbowed him in the gut and ran. He didn't get far as the massive head of Ryu came down and swallowed him whole.
"So now you come you lazy son of a..." Naruto said till he got cut off by Hinata
"A-are you a-alright?" Hinata asked, coming over to Naruto
"I'm fine. You were great at fighting." Naruto said, to which she blushed, "Care for me to treat you to dinner?"
"Y-yes please." Hinata answered, then thought 'He is such a gentleman. I don't know if I can even say it to him I'm blown away by him.'
45 minutes later
After the two ate, and got to learn a lot about what happened over 3 years, they went back to Ryu. Naruto wasn't done just yet with Hinata, and had a place to take her for the night.
"Hinata, I want to take you somewhere. Somewhere I've shown no one else ever before." Naruto said, and offered his hand
"Y-yes please Naruto." Hinata answered
He helped her on, and Ryu flew off high into the sky. They flew hundreds of miles in only a few minutes, till they reached a secluded place in the mountains. It was a small lagoon with lots of cherry blossom trees, and short, sweet grass. Ryu flew up onto a rocky outcrop near there to keep watch.
"T-this is beautiful." Hinata said amazed
"I found this place flying a year ago, and told no one about it. I figured it would be a great place to finish our date." Naruto said
'This is my chance, I have to do it.' Hinata said to herself, but Naruto beat her to it
He came closer, and hugged her close. Hinata flushed like a red beet, and lost the confidence to say.
"Hinata, this past few hours has been better than my entire life up to this point." Naruto said to her
"I-I-I..." Hinata tried to say something, but it would not come out
"But what made it so great was the feeling I get when you are near me." Naruto and continued
"Every time I'm with you, I come alive. You are what complete me, you are what allows me to function. I can't live without you Hinata. I love you Hinata."
'Hinata, say it now, say it now, its perfect' Hinata thought, then said " I love you too Naruto."
'Everything's in place, I can do it, this is too good to be true.' Naruto thought with joy.
"Please Naruto, d-don't leave me." Hinata said, and the moment now was perfect for what Naruto had planned
"Hinata Hyuga, Heiress to the Hyuga clan, will you marry me?" Naruto said, going on his knees, and showing her a platinum and red emerald ring
Hinata could not believe her ear's. Naruto wanted to marry her. This was like a dream, but it was real.
"YYEEEEESSS! I will Naruto!" She yelled happily, then passed out
"Thank you so much Hinata, not only have you made me find love, you saved my life. I am forever in your debt." Naruto whispered into her ear, even though he knew she couldn't hear him
He picked her up bridal style, and put her by him under a tree. He fell asleep with her in his arms, and it was the best sleep he ever had.
Next day: Hyuga Residence
Naruto was going to just drop Hinata off at the gate and fly away, but it didn't go like that. The guards instantly jumped into attack mode and the whole guard force appeared in front of them, unfazed by the fact Naruto had a dragon on his side.
"You dare come back here?" Hiashi's voice asked
"Well, I was dropping this lovely lady off, figured it was the proper thing to do." Naruto answered
"Get out, now, before we kill you slowly and painfully!" Hiashi yelled and the guards agreed
As soon as he said that, a contingent of 700 soldiers, led by Kuroi clad in the light helmet, gauntlets and boots, and the chain-mail armor. Hiashi and his poesy stopped in there tracks.
"Perfect timing as usual." Naruto said to Kuroi
"I try." Kuroi meekly said
"Hinata, get out of there!" Hiashi said
"No." Hinata sternly said
"What?" Hiashi said in sheer surprise, and Hinata got off Ryu to get right in his face
"I will not father. I have lived in your tyrannical shadow for my entire life. You have dictated how I lived and kept me in my shell for that whole time, berating me, and crushing my self confidence. Naruto has given me what you should have given me. I relinquish my ability to be heir to the Hyuga clan. Also father, me and Naruto are going to get married, and theirs nothing you can do about it. If you or any hyuga come anywhere near us at the wedding or after, I will personally order Naruto's entire army to kill you and everyone else of my 'family'. Goodbye Father, and rot in hell!" Hinata exploded in a surge of self confidence, which left Naruto and Hiashi with there jaws wide open
"Well I didn't think that would happen. See ya." Naruto said, and everyone else left
Hiashi just stood there, cut deep by his daughters words, and turned around silently. The rest of the guards went back to there posts
1 week later: the gathering of Daymio's
"Naruto Namikaze, you have performed all of what the deal entailed, just like the dragon said you would." One of the Daymio's said in surprise
"Nobody listens to me. I just don't get that. Everyone listens to demons, but not omnipotent beings from a higher powers." The dragon said, appearing behind them in his human form
"Sensai, please don't do that, its okay with me, but not with other people." Naruto said
"Sorry, still getting used to that." The oriental dragon said, and floated down to Naruto
"By the decree of the deal, we the daymio's of the elemental countries, relinquish all power to the government formed by Naruto and his group, to with they gain all rights, previously established laws, and lands to be governed as willed." The Iron Daymio said
"I thank you for seeing it my way. Draco, give them there going away package. In exchange, you will be given a comforatble amount of money for which you can use for your retirement on a nice beach resort island." The oriental dragon said
"Thank Oriental-Sama." The Daymio's said as they bowed, and left
"Well Naruto, this is the first step in cleansing the land of the underworld influence, get to it boy. I'll see you at the wedding. I'm the priest." The dragon said and teleported away
"Sir, we have a huge crowd of people, what should we do?" A soldier said
"Let them come and see me. A ruler should be seen after all." Naruto said
"Um... Naruto, a-are you sure I-I'd be a good E-Empress?" Hinata asked, getting closer to Naruto
"You do great Hinata, especially with how its run, your perfect. Just believe in yourself." Naruto said to her, and gave her a kiss
The two stepped out and walked through the massive crowd of people. There were mixed reactions among them, but all agreed on one thing, that it was the start of a new era, a new beginning of unity. Might as well make the most of it.
MHG: I loved writing this chapter, especially the Naruhina moments. It just gives me a kick of happiness when I write them. See you next time, and the coranation and wedding awaits.
