The next morning the whole Uzumaki family was still talking about last night gala, everything went all right without so much as one mistake. As everyone ate their breakfast and headed to their daily duties and school, Shinata made sure that she would follow her father to see if he was really going to meet the blonde woman last night. As they prepared to leave he kissed his wife and said goodbye to his children.
Shinata decided to act like she was sick at school and head to her father's building and spy on him. As Kyoshi, Kanna and Tasamine got prepared to leave the village for peace summit, they wonder why Kimmi refused to go. She had told them that she was assigned a special mission that was A- ranked. Shinata decided to practice one more time before going to school, she still could not control her chakra well but she had learned four jutsu moves on the scroll if she used a vast amount of chakra. She noticed that all the jutsu's that require vast amounts of chakra she could do with ease but a simple henge still cause a lot of problems for her to master. As her and Somari walked to school, she was quiet the whole time. Somari figured that maybe she was nervous about taking the genin exam and that she would not graduate.
As they did their basic training Shinata decided to act like she was sick and go home, she knew that her father ate lunch around 12 PM so she decided to wait after he comes out and follow him.
As she waited for her father to come out she saw Somari running toward her, she really didn't want to expose her business to her best friend that her father maybe cheating.
"I knew for a fact you weren't sick, what are you up to Shinata" asked Somari?
"Look I know you're my best friend but I need to do this by myself, this is very personal for me" said Shinata.
Somari never seen that look in Shinata face before, she looked like she had found out something very bad they could destroy her whole world.
"Shinata I can help you if you like? What are you doing down here, why don't you go in there and talk to your father instead standing outside Hokage Hall" said Somari?
I have to spy on my own father; something just doesn't feel right since last night. I could feel it in my bones and soul something is definitely bothering my father" as she looked at Somari.
"Look you are not a spy so let me help you, with my shadows I have the perfect camouflage. You know that your father would definitely know if you were trailing him, so let's stay in the shadows until he shows.
As they waited for Naruto to come out, they saw everyone except him. Somari noticed a man was going in the opposite way from the workers that went to eat; he was tall just like Shinata's father but had dark black hair.
"Shinata if you are to use your bloodline ability would you be able to find your father" asked Somari?
"Yes I would know his chakra signature from anywhere" as she looked puzzled and why Somari asked that question.
"Look at that man he's walking the opposite direction, that may be your father using a henge so check with your Byakugan".
As she activated her bloodline, she looked at the man and saw that it was her father but he was not using a henge technique. Shinata just figured he was doing it the old-fashioned way by dyeing his hair black. As Somari used her shadow technique a shadow came in and surrounded them making them invisible against the dark walls in the alley. Shinata was very impressed by Somari jutsu and stealth to follow her father, Naruto looked around having a funny feeling that he was being watched. He had seen nothing out of the ordinary and continued walking to his destination. As he arrived at the hotel he looked around one more time and knocked on the door with a series of secret knocks. As the door open it was the same blonde woman that was at the gala, she quickly hugged Naruto and two blonde children came in and hugged Naruto also. Shinata and Somari's mouths dropped to the ground as Naruto shut the door, as they saw the events that transpired in front of their eyes, Naruto had another family. The pre-teens decided to leave after witnessing such a betrayal to her family and especially his wife and mother of his children Hinata. As a young girls walked away from the scene neither one said a thing, then Somari began to talk.
"Wait a minute your father would never do such a thing, he's the Hokage she can be working as a spy for your father. We never know the things he does being the Hokage, I know your father he would never do something as selfish as cheat" said Somari.
"That's the same woman from last night, I heard her say to him she would tell my mother. He looked nervous when I asked him about it, he said that she was an advisor to some delegate, clearly that is a lie" said Shinata!
As the both walked in silence Shinata mind was racing the whole time on what to do.
As she walked around the village until dinnertime, she decided to see if she can get any information from her father in a discreet way. As she sat at the table eating she never said one word, her family was shocked about how quite she was. As each Uzumaki sibling got up and did their house chores, Naruto went to the living room and began to go over documents for the peace treaty summit that was in two days.
"I have a question to ask you, what makes a man cheat" said Shinata?
Hinata just be happened to pass by and heard what her daughter said. Naruto looked confused and thought about what he should tell his daughter, as he took a deep breath he looked deep into his daughter's eyes.
"Well a man who cheats on the one he loves really doesn't care about her feelings, sure a man will say that he felt unloved or he was bored with their relationship. But if a true man loves someone deeply than he would be happy because true love is a blessing" as Naruto began to look over the peace treaty documents again.
"Hey dad I have a question? I came to see you today but you were not at the office around lunchtime where did you go if you don't mind me asking" said Shinata?
" I went to eat at the Ramen stand like always do and I came straight back to work, sorry I missed you but weren't you supposedly to be at the Academy learning your jutsu "said Naruto as he stop looking at the papers?
"I was sick" was her only reply. Dad you would never cheat on my mom would you? I mean she is your world right? When we were at that party, that woman you were talking to seem to like you and she gave me a bad vibe that I can't shake off. You two looked very angry at each other and I could not understand it, why would she be that mad at you?
"Like I said she was just an advisor to a delegate and she did not like what I had to say about certain topic that's all" said Naruto as he began to read the documents once again.
As Hinata came into the room she asked Shinata to let her father work and come practice with her. Hinata knew for a fact that Naruto was lying, she knew everything about her husband. Hinata wanted to ask Shinata about this woman that was arguing with her father. They came outside she told Shinata to tell her about all that happened that night. As Shinata did, Hinata thought it was strange that a woman was arguing with him and he did not tell her. Shinata told her mother that she followed her father and he went to the hotel and saw the same blonde hair woman with two blonde hair children, Hinata temperature rose when she heard this she wanted to confront her husband, she decided to look into it herself personally and see if there was any truth to him having an affair. She told Shinata that she would keep her secret and she would not tell her father what was told to her.
As Naruto and Hinata laid in bed together he quickly grabbed his wife in a warm embrace, she quickly pulled out his arms.
"Is there something wrong or did I say something wrong" as Naruto looking worried?
"No I just don't feel good tonight; my stomach is hurting that's all" as she looked at her husband.
Naruto knew that she was not telling the truth but he figured she had her reasons and turned around and fell asleep. Hinata mind raced on her husband who might be committing adultery, out of anger she took her foot and placed it on his back and pushed him off the bed. As he came down with a heavy thumped on the floor he looked at his wife.
"Sorry I had a nightmare" was her only reply.
Next day Hinata went to the hotel where Shinata said that she had seen her father at, as Hinata approached the desk she asked to speak to the manager.
"My if it isn't the Hokage wife, good morning Uzumaki-sama it is a very great honor to be in your presence. So how can I help the Hokage's wife" said the hotel manager?
"Is there a blonde hair woman and two children that are at this hotel? And if they are what room are they staying at" asked Hinata?
"Yes there was a blonde hair woman staying here along with two children who were also blondes, I think she left yesterday with her husband. I think she is now back home in her village I'm not sure which village she came from but I know she had an accent" said the hotel manager.
"She had a husband? As Hinata felt relieved from the hotel manager statement about her having a husband. May I ask what her husband looked like" as Hinata wanted to make sure it was not Naruto.
"Tall guy with jet black hair and eyes, I think his name is Micaval Tashou Chen? I don't quite remember how to pronounce his name that well" said the hotel manager.
"Is it Mikado Tae Shin" asked Hinata nervously?
"Yeah that's it, very tall well-built man, I think he was a ninja" said the hotel manager.
"He didn't even to bother to hide his alias name and he used the Kyuubi power to change his face once again but why? It has to be because he doesn't want the villagers to recognize him "thought Hinata.
Hinata's heart was broken; her husband could have had another family on the side. Now her mind was in a dark place, she thought what if Naruto became bored with his life with her. She decided to give her husband the benefit of the doubt and hear his side. As she left the hotel she headed straight to Hokage Hall, she had one million questions to ask her husband.
As she went inside the building everyone gave her the greeting of Uzumaki-sama and bowed with great respect. As she approached her husband office she walked directly in as the guards bowed to the Hokage's wife. As she walked inside she had many questions to ask her husband but only asked one.
"Naruto are you having an affair" was the only question they came out of her mouth?
Shikamaru and Naruto looked confused at the question that was asked. Naruto had asked Shikamaru to leave while they had a little talk.
"Why would you think that? I haven't given you any kind of indication that I was cheating" as Naruto looked hurt at the accusation.
"What about the woman at the party and her children" said Hinata?
"How do you know about that woman at the party and her children? How did you come across this information" asked her husband as he stood up to look at his wife?
"So it is true, you have another family don't you? How long have this affair been going on" said Hinata?
"You have to believe me they are not my family, I can't talk about this until next week but you must trust me" as he gave puppy dog looking eyes at his wife.
She decided to trust her husband but until then he would sleep on the couch.
As Naruto prepared for his trip their children were shocked that he was sleeping on the couch, in all their years they never saw their father not sleep in the same bed as their mother. As Naruto got up in the morning and left for work he told his sons that they would leave tomorrow morning for the delegate peace summit, as Hinata came down the stairs she told Naruto that they should talk before he left. Naruto was glad that Hinata had started back talking to him and was making an attempt solidify their relationship. Hinata on the other hand figured she would spy on her husband to make sure he was telling the truth. As Naruto left for work he decided to walk Shinata to the Academy. Shinata started to feel bad about her mother being mad at her father; she wanted to tell her father that it was her fault that he was in the predicament by her loose lips. As they approached the Academy, all the students came out and greeted the current Hokage as they stared in amazement. They notice he did not were the standard Hokage clothing but that of a Jonin. As he left he headed to the opposite way of the Hokage Hall and into pasture fields of a farm, as he approached the barn there stood the blonde haired woman smiling. As they walked inside the barn she began to talk.
"What took you so long? Why did you have me come out here to boredom farms? The children just keep bugging me about going back to the village" as she rolled her eyes at Naruto.
" Let's put it this way I could not take the chance of someone finding you, me being the Hokage means I have to keep a certain image it would not look right me hanging around you. I need to get you and the kids out of here" said Naruto.
"I knew it you do have another family! You lied to me and now I catch you with this.. this.. Woman" screamed Hinata!
She quickly darted toward the blonde hair woman and attacked fiercely; Naruto quickly tried to stop his wife from attacking but was struck by her Byakugan causing him to freeze up. As Hinata attack the blonde woman the woman countered every blow, Hinata knew that stance the woman was using was from the land of Kirigakure. Hinata quickly caught the woman's wrist and struck her in the center of her breast causing her to collapse, the woman looked up and smiled at her.
"Damn Hinata you truly have gotten better or is it the lioness that will protect her family no matter what the cost" as the blonde woman gasped for air.
"Asami Lynn Yamada the wife of the Mizukage but what are you doing here in the Konoha" asked Hinata so shocked on striking her friend?
"Shou Kanazawa killed my husband and tried to kill me and the children as well, many loyal supporters got us to safety and Naruto and the elders gave us secret political asylum. The Dark Cloud village has sent many assassins to find us in the Land of Mist, they are afraid it we are a alive that we will gain support through sympathy for what they have done to our family at the peace summit. All the Kages and entrusted elders were sworn to silence they cannot tell anyone because there may be a traitor in everyone's village. That was our downfall someone close to us betrayed us and my husband died because of that betrayal" as Asami looked at Hinata.
Hinata had never felt so much shame in her life, she didn't trust her husband and she struck him and her friend because of her mistrust, Naruto quickly got up and walked over to his wife. He told the ANBU bodyguard's to show themselves, he told Hinata that the only reason they didn't attack was because she was the wife of the Hokage. As she looked around with her Byakugan she noticed that there were 13 of them protecting the former Kage wife. Everything now sunk in, Naruto was sworn to secrecy and he could not even tell his own wife. Asami was going to make an appearance at the summit to tell the atrocities that the Dark Cloud village had done to her people, that they were beaten, starved and being imprisoned for no apparent reasons.
"I am so sorry Asami I did not mean to hurt you; I thought my husband had another family. Why don't you take off that blonde wig that's what threw me off" as she smiled and offered a hand to pull her friend up.
"Anyone tries takes Naruto away from you will surely regret the day they met you" Asami said laughing hard.
As Hinata begged for forgiveness from the two, she promised Naruto that she would never let her insecurities guide her mind again. As Hinata walked along beside her husband she wondered why she felt so insecure to such a high degree. Asami smiled at the two, they were the same when she met them in their 20s, and they love each other and did not want to see the other leave or feel sorrow's pain.
