A/N: I present chapter 12, in all its glory. Enjoy!
His face was stern, while the elders in the room wore for probably the first time genuine smiles towards him, What were they smiling about he came here to give them an answer they wouldn't like.
A sound of ample applause took him from thinking, now they were smiling an clapping What were they doing trying to be sarcastic, or just flat out annoying towards him.
"What's there to be smiling an clapping, I came here to reject every offer the council gave me.
"Naruto my boy, you pass." Homura stated.
Now his mind just flat out didn't understand what was going on. He passed? What the hell had he been trying pass? Were they just messing with him, judging by their smiles they weren't.
"What did I pass?"
"The final examination to become Hokage." Koharu stated proudly.
Now he was beginning to think he was in a genjutsu, this was all to surreal Becoming Hokage was his dream no here he stood being told he had passed the final examination, even though he hadn't known he was under examination.
"W-wait was all the dates a setup, and if so what's the purpose of them?"
"It was to test your diplomatic skills, which according to all the girls you did take out, they all had one thing in common; it was always fun." The old man said.
"We did this same thing to your father, we even left your mother off the list; she didn't take it to well when he told her of the dates; but we go the same outcome with him as with you." Koharu chimed
What outcome had they hoped to achieve putting him through the ups an downs of love.? Getting him to stand up for what he wanted? Just what was it they hoped to achieve.
"What was the outcome?"
"Every Hokage even down to Lady Tsunade has had someone to stand beside them, through everything. Judging by the pink lip gloss on your lips I take you an Miss Haruno are an Item now? Thus proving you found the person to stand at your side to give support." Homura said sternly
"So this whole thing was setup just so I could be certain Sakura-chan would be by my side.?"
Seriously if that's what they wanted why couldn't they have just told him up front about it. It was just all a big mess.
"Naruto, the objective was to see if you would stick to being you or conform to others wants. The dates were devised like problems you could face in the seat of Hokage. An we must say you handled them well, even down to Shion-sama; now Tsunade if you will." Homura spouted.
As if by script Tsunade stood up from her desk an looked at the boy in front of her, he had finally done it; he was going to be Hokage.
"Now accepting this offer will change everything about your life. No more running around on crazy missions, you will sit in an office with paperwork, and assign missions, an take care of the village."
"It doesn't matter, I dreamed of becoming Hokage; I'll take on any challenge it gives as long as any paper work. I;ll take care of the village an make everyone proud." He spouted.
"Good, you take over next year, so for now go home an relax." the Hokage said with care.
He gave them a brief nod before leaving the room, he was going directly to her house to tell her the news. He always loved to see her face when she got news that she liked, this was sure to set her over edge.
His pace to her house was a steady walk, he had all the time in the world to arrive, because he knew she would let him stay over. He was now on the street of her house.
He walked slowly up her small front steps, knocking on the door immediately after reaching the top.
She came to the door immediately still in her pajamas. The way the sun made her look prettier. She just smiled an moved from the door allowing him entry to her house.
He had only been in it on few occasions, this was maybe his third time. It never stopped stunning him how well the entire house was placed together.
He took a seat next to her on the couch where she was once again watching a romance movie marathon. He didn't care he had what he wanted, an thats all that mattered.
"So how did things go with the Lady Tsunade?"
"Oh about that, I got some news."
She was puzzled it was always rare that he got news straight from the Hokage Then again when had any of his news actually been any good anyways.?
"Oh really, that must have been so exciting." she said in a lazy tone of voice.
"Is that anyway to speak to a future Hokage?" He spouted.
Had she heard him right 'future Hokage'; the blonde knucklehead had finally realized his dream.
"You're going to be the next Hokage?" she wailed getting inches from his face.
"You know it, know what's even better?"
What could have been better than becoming Hokage for him? Very few things like free ramen or things like that.
"What makes it even better."
"Knowing you're going to be right at my side through it all."
His wide grin came to rest on his face, she just stared at him. How could someone like this ever say things that seemed to be right out one of the romantic movies she watched frequently.
Her lips pursed to a soft smile, taking in his current rise was all to much. Then being told that she was going to be with him through it all made her happier than anything else.
"Of course I will be." That was all she said as their lips met once again a mending of orange an pink.
He loved the girl at his side, as she loved him. They were exactly what each needed. Naruto needed someone to keep him in line, while Sakura needed someone to keep her together. It was like destiny created them just for each other, It may have not taken a month, but they had the love of a lifetime.
