As Shinata and Somari walked into the house, they were greeted by Shikamaru and Temari.

"Kyoshi is here, where have you two been at" said Temari?

"Just practicing, soon we will be full pledge ninjas so we have to be at our best" as Shinata smiled at Temari.

As Somari came in she sat next to Kyoshi with a board game, she smiled and placed the pieces for the game of Shogi. As the board was set up each one took a turn hoping to defeat the other, Kyoshi looked at Somari and told her to stop for a minute.

"Why are you letting me win? I can tell the way you are playing you are forfeiting the game, play for real this time, I want your best Somari" said Kyoshi.

Temari heard what Kyoshi said and was glad that he was not intimidated by her daughter's intelligence. Temari quickly call Somari over to talk to her.

"I know you like Kyoshi but letting him win isn't going to make him like you more, you have to be yourself and that is what he wants. Now have a good time and beat the pants off that Uzumaki" as she smiled and hugged her daughter.

As they continued to play the game she could tell Kyoshi was very smart, she had planned out moves far ahead but he was still able, to counter most of her moves. As Shinata watch the game she became instantly board and decided to go out and train some more leaving her brother and best friend to their boring little game.

"Shikamaru I really like Kyoshi, he is very nice and very well mannered and a mother's dream for their daughter. I'm so glad that he didn't turn out like his father" as she looked at the two playing shogi.

"I told you he was a good person but he is like his father, he still can't see that our daughter likes him. It's like when Hinata had a crush on Naruto. He could not see what was in front of his face, I hope Kyoshi catches on quicker to her feelings" as Shikamaru looked at the two.

As Shikamaru's older sons walked through the door, they thought they would tease their little sister about her crush but was stop dead in their tracks by their mom who told them to leave her alone and let her have some privacy with the young little blonde kid. As they were deathly afraid of their mother they obey without questions and headed up stairs. The two played shogi all night but neither could get the upper hand, they both decided to play again tomorrow.


As Shinata and Kyoshi started their way home early in the morning from Shikamaru's house they could not wait to get home to eat breakfast. As they approached their house they saw Tasamine and Kimmi and Oshida heading to the porch, it was tradition for them to all to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together as a family.

As they sat at the table they all stared at their mother as she sang and fluttered around the kitchen, usually it would be the servants that would cook but she always did when Naruto and her had a romantic night.

"Don't you think you cooked too much food, mom" asked Kimmi looking at the large spread of food at the table?

"Yeah this is way too much even to feed the Nara and Akimichi family" said Tasamine.

As their father came down he quickly grabbed Hinata by the waist from the back and pulled her ear lobe with his lips seductively.

"Naruto not in front the children as she playfully hit his forearm with her hand.

"We are 18" said the twins"

"I am 16" said Oshida"

"I'm 14 "said Kyoshi.

"And I am 11 going on 12 said Shinata

As their parents came to the table smiling at each Hinata looked at her oldest daughter.

"Eat eat, Kimmi you are too skinny dig in" said her mother.

"I'm on a diet mom so I can't eat that much" as Kimmi looked at all the food.

"Nonsense if I had your figure as a young lady Naruto would have notice me a whole lot sooner" as she smiled at her husband across the table.

"I'm gone I have errands to run said Kimmi looking completely embarrassed at her mother's comment".

"Me too" said Tasamine following closely behind his older sister

Oshida said he was going back to bed to catch up on some sleep.

And Kyoshi looked at his parents and replied "I'm just too uncomfortable to sit at the table with you guys.

Shinata smacked her forehead" man I always get stuck in the most uncomfortable situations" she thought.

"Oshida where's Kanna? Why didn't he come home with you" asked Naruto?

"He said he was sleeping over another friend house and he said he would catch up with me tomorrow" replied Oshida.

As Naruto wondered what friend house he stayed over, he looked at his younger daughter and asked did she feel like training with her old man? As Shinata looked eager and ready to go practice with her father.


"I can't believe my mom said something like that, in front everyone at the table saying she wished she had my body when she was younger" said Kimmi as she looked aggravated.

As Tasamine tried to calm his sister down, they saw their younger brother Kanna running from the Hatake's brother. As he dove behind his older siblings begging them to protect him from his attackers.

"Get out of the way Tasamine and Kimmi, he's sullied our little sister by sleeping with her" said Takashima Hatake!

"I did not sleep with her! I went to visit her and I accidentally fell asleep" as Kanna peaked around his older brother and sister.

"Then why were the both of you naked in the bed and why did you run" said Genshui!

"We were hot in that small room that's all, you're blowing this it out of proportion" screamed Kanna!

"Do your mother and father know that Kanna was over last night? I'm sure we can come to an agreement on what to do" said Kimmi?

"No, we did not tell our parents if they should find out they will be so mad at Tanisha. We cannot have Kanna running around telling everyone he slept with our baby sister" said Takashima!

Tell you what, give our little brother a 60 seconds head start and if you catch him you can beat him, does that sound fair" said Tasamine?

Both of the Hatake's looked at each other and agreed.

"You can't be serious? What the hell is your problem with me you're my brother and sister" as he looked at his siblings?

"Look, what if it was Shinata that had some pervert do that to her? Wouldn't you be mad at them and want retribution for taking your little sister's innocent? You're getting off easy, they could easily tell our father and you really be in trouble so take your punishment like a man" said Kimmi!

Kanna took off running as fast as he could but the brothers gave him 30 seconds and then began their chase for revenge.

"He really is one big dumb ass and he needs to be neutered, the little pervert" said Kimmi as they walked to their destination.


As the day finally ended all the Uzumaki's came home to relax. It had been a grueling day for Shinata and Somari. They had trained all day and even when they got home. Naruto had informed them that tomorrow was the gala to help stop the Dark Cloud invasions of other countries. They were to be dressed in formal wear and told to be on their best behavior, Naruto looked directly at Shinata and so did the rest of the family.

"Man knock over one display and people never forget" said Shinata.

"You knocked over 16 displays not one" as her mother crossed her arms and stared down at her.

As they all ate their dinner, they went to bed and waited for tomorrow's big event.


As the Uzumaki family walked into the grand ballroom they were greeted by many delegates, advisers and peacekeepers. As Naruto walked away he had to meet a delegate from the Land of Rice who was terrified that they might be put into an unnecessary war. He had sent many messengers of peace to the Dark Cloud village but they never returned until yesterday, four human heads were in a box that was sent to the Lord of the lands telling him to surrender without fighting. He quickly alerted all three countries for assistance to help stop Shou's invasion, many said that they would not enter unless the Rokudaime would agree to talk at the peace treaty meeting in four days. As Shinata and Somari walked around they were extremely bored, it was nothing but a bunch of uptight know it all and politicians using big words to describe a simple situation. The only part of the gala that they did like was the dancing, as Kavul Inuzuka walked over to Shinata and smiled. Everyone knew that the Kavul had the biggest crush on her; it was more obvious than Somari's crush on Kyoshi.

"Want to dance Shinata" as he looked deep into her eyes.

"Sure but can we dance to a faster song; I don't like slow dancing" as Shinata stood up?

As they danced, Hinata smiled at her daughter for dancing with one of her friends children. As they danced, they laugh and joke all night with each other. Even Somari had the courage to talk to and dance with Kyoshi. As Shinata walked away, she saw a blonde hair woman come up to her father and started talking to him.

"I need to see you tonight Naruto-kun and I can't wait any longer, I need you now and so do the children. I have waited for you for three days and you have been a no-show. Now I'm asking for you to … As she was cut off.

"Are you out of your mind? What if Hinata had seen you? We have to be very careful not to be seen together. I was going to see you tomorrow afternoon, you have to be patient. I can't let my family and friends find out about you, you took a big risk for nothing you need to leave"... As he looked over and saw Shinata heading his way Naruto quickly told the blonde woman to leave.

"You forget I am a ninja and this is second nature to me so make sure you come to the hotel or next time I come to your house with the children" said the blonde woman as she walked away.

"Dad who was that woman you were talking to and why did it look like you were arguing with her? And what were you talking about to make you look so angry at the woman" said Shinata?

"She just someone who is the secretary to a delegate and wants me to meet with their advisor that's all" said Naruto looking kind of nervous.

Shinata knew her father was not telling the truth, she figured tomorrow she would follow her father to get to the truth, if he was seeing another woman behind her mother's back. As Naruto walked over to his wife he quickly grabbed her hand and began to dance slowly as their bodies connected into one.

"See Shinata I want my husband to be like your father, open about his feelings toward the woman he loves" said Somari looking star stricken at the two love birds.

"I really do hope my father does love my mother with all his heart" as Shinata stared at the couple.

Somari really didn't know what she met by that but she figured Shinata was just in one of her moods.
