NARUTO IS OWNED BY MASASHI KISHIMOTO.
"Alright! This is awesome! Finally I have my chance. Can't blow it!" thought Naruto as he was walking down the streets of Konoha with an extra pep in his step. He was heading towards the Hokage's office, he almost felt kind of sad that it wasn't his office anymore, he did hold that spot for 50 years before he retired, and then he died that night, only to be brought back 68 years back into the spot. But he didn't care, he had his chance with Hinata.
"Excuse me sir, is it alright if I see the Hokage for a few minutes? It's important." Asked Naruto to the guard that was on duty.
"One sec," then the guard spoke into his mic, "sir, Naruto Uzumaki is here asking for you, are you available? I see, okay." Then he turned back to look at Naruto, "you may go through."
"Thank you!" Naruto walked past the guard entered a hallway that lead into a spiral staircase that brought him up to the Hokage's office. He was about to knock on the door but it swung open and out stepped Asuma and Kurenai. He always wondered why they never just came out and told people that they were together, eventhough everyone in the village can notice it. Naruto stood aside for them to pass and then quickly stepped in to see the old Hokage sitting at his desk working on his calligraphy as he often did while smoking his pipe, which oddly enough looked exactly like the same kind Shikamaru grew accustomed on using in his old age. The room was filled with books wall to wall, books he had read long ago as an old man, he was surprised to see how the room had stayed pretty much the same throughout Hiruzen's, Tsunade's, and his career, well except for the fact that when granny Tsunade was in office there were a lot more bottles of Sake laying around, some full, some empty, some half full, some half empty, and some definitely broken. "Hello Lord Hokage." Said Naruto as he bowed, it was great seeing him alive again.
"Hello Naruto, what sort of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?" chuckled the old Hokage as he put his paintbrush down and laced his fingers together.
"Oh I'm not in trouble sir, hehehe." Laughed Naruto while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh no? hmmm strange, you are ususally here because you are in trouble. Hahaha. How can I help you today?"
Naruto hesitated about asking something like this to the old man. "Sir, I'd like to discuss something with you, you may find it strange and bizzare, but please bear with me."
"Okay, go ahead…" said Hiruzen with a confused looked on his face.
Naruto took a deep breath, "well here it goes." He thought, "Sir, I know about my parentage."
The Hokage looked shocked, "what do you mean you know about your parentage? Who told you!?"
"Actually sir, my parent revealed themselves to me." Naruto stated nervously, he rolled up his jacket and shirt revealing the seal to the Hokage.
"But how!?" the old man gasped.
"Minato my pa, and Kushina my ma, both appeared to me one day and told me everything, they told me that they were sorry for not being able to watch me grow up, and that they wished that it could have been different." The old man saw a tear run down Naruto's cheek.
"I guess you know the truth about why you have grown up an orphan then?" the Hokage beamed at Naruto.
"Yes I know everything. I know about my inheritance that I receive upon the age of sixteen, and my true last name is Namikaze, but in effort to try to keep me safe I have to use my ma's maiden name of Uzumaki. And I also know that I do have a Godfather, Jiraiya Lord of Toads, I know the whole 9 yards, sir."
"So why are you here Naruto? To exact revenge on me for keeping all of this a secret from you?" said the Hokage with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"WHAT!? Heavens no! I appreciate what you have done for me, trying to keep me safe and all. I just came here today for a favor, I know I can't have my full inheritance until I'm sixteen, but I was wondering if I could possibly receive a small amount from it, I'd like to buy a gift for a special someone, and seeing as I am not a genin officially and therefore I cannot get paid for completed missions I can't buy the gift without asking for help. I just need a small amount maybe 300$ just until I graduate and can make a living for my own. Pretty please Lord Hokage?" Naruto was getting worried, because this might arise suspicion.
"Okay Naruto, just this one time okay? After this you will have to wait four years like you are supposed to." Hiruzen grabbed a sheet of paper from his desk and started writing a note, then handed it over to Naruto. "Now take this note to the bank and you will receive the money. Is there anything else you would like to talk about?" asked Hiruzen as he stared at Naruto.
"No sir, that is it, oh, no wait, sir you might want to keep an eye on Mizuki, I think he might be up to something. Now if you will excuse me I have to get ready for tonight." Said Naruto as he reached for the door.
"Got a hot date tonight?" prodded the old man.
"She isn't hot, she is GORGEOUS!" Naruto bowed before the Hokage and left the office closing the door behind him.
"Have a good day Naruto, hopefully next time you come and visit won't be because you are in trouble." Laughed the old man to himself.
Naruto ran staright for the back, where he had to wait there for what seemed hours before he could get his money. The teller gave him the money and just as quickly Naruto stuffed it inside froggy wallet and bolted straight for the village's jewler. He thanked the nice lady at counter and left the store with a small box in his coat pocket.
"Okay money, check, gift check, all I need is to go to the market to buy a few groceries, and then go home to cook and shower and prepare for my date. No pressure." Naruto nervously grinned at his thought.
It was around 3pm when Naruto got to the market, he quickly zoomed trough the isles picking up certain ingredients for tonight's meal. He was running through the isles as fast as he could. When suddenly he ran into Shikamaru knocking him backwards. "Damn it Naruto you are such a drag sometimes!"
"Sorry Shikamaru." Naruto reached a hand to pull up his young old friend, it was funny seeing him again so young without his really long hair and goatee. "Hey listen, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so you'll have to excuse me, but would you like to hangout sometime, maybe some ramen and a movie?"
"You wanna hang out? We barely talk or know each other!?" exclaimed Shikamaru with a heavy sigh.
"Yeah, I wanna hangout, it's how people get to know each other and become friends. This Saturday, around noon? You in?" asked Naruto excitedly
"Yeah, sure, I guess. I guess I'll see you Saturday then. Later Naruto." Said Shikamaru with a lazy look in his face.
"See you there!" and with that being said Naruto ran for the cashier and paid for his groceries. He ran straight for home going as fast as he could run. He finally made it home, he quickly set his bags down while he pulled out his key to open the door to his apartment. He was totally horror struck as to see his old place a mess, "oh fuck me sideways! I was such a slob, fuck I don't have time for this." "SHADOWCLONE JUTSU!" 3 clones appeared next to him. "Okay y'all know what to do, you two start cleaning this place, and you start preparing dinner." The 3 clones saluted him. Naruto quickly threw his jacket on his chair, went into his bathroom, he undressed and hopped in the shower and made sure to get extra clean. He turned off the shower went to the sink and brushed his teeth. Rinsed, flossed, put on deodorant and cologne. Then he went to his dresser and pulled out a clean pair of boxers a plain black tshirt and a pair of khaki cargo pants. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was 530pm. He was getting nervous, he just hoped that his clones had finished cleaning and were almost done with dinner. He opened the door to his bedroom and was relieved to see his apartment clean and fresh smelling with all 3 clones in the kitchen putting the last finishing touches on dinner.
"Okay guys thanks for the help, release." And all 3 clones vanished. He reached into the fridge to get the container filled with cinnamon rolls. He quickly placed them in the oven, "they should be done in time for dinner." Then he heard his phone ring, it was Hinata, he began to get giddy and nervous at the same time. "Hi Hinata!"
"H-hello Naruto, just calling you to let you know I am on my way. That is if you still want me over for dinner?" asked Hinata nervously.
"What!? Of course I do, I can't wait to see you!"
"O-o-okay, I'll see you soon Naruto."
"Okay Hinata." Naruto hit the end call button and decided to serve two plates of food which he placed at the small kitchen table. He grabbed the ice cold pitcher of water and placed it on the center of the table along with two glasses. He did one final inspection of the place, everything was perfect. He made rice with pork, with a side of Hinata's favorite bean jelly. He heard a knock at his door. His heart was going a mile a second. He quickly ran to the door, and opened it looking as cool as possible to reveal a beautiful Hinata standing at his doorstep, fiddling with her fingers as usual whenever she got nervous, she was wearing a pair of orange capris with black sandals and her usual poofy jacket with her clan symbol at her sides. She took his breath away.
"W-what is it N-naruto? You are s-staring." Said Hinata turning bright red when she noticed Naruto looking at her with his jaw halfway down the floor.
"What?" Naruto snapped back to reality. "I was just admiring your beauty, you look amazing." With that compliment Hinata felt her face getting hotter. "Come on in, dinner is ready." Naruto reached for her hand and held it as he led her through the living room and into the kitchen.
"Naruto is holding my hand, Naruto is holding my hand, Naruto is holding my hand, does he like me!? Am I dreaming? Is this a cruel genjutsu? I hope this is real. It feels so real. Hes holding my hand with comfort and warm, I can die a happy girl now. I have to try and talk without stuttering, I have to be confident." Hinata thought to herself.
"Here is your seat," Naruto said as he pulled the chair out for Hinata, she sat down and he pushed her in all gentleman like. Naruto saw her gaze upon the food, and knew she saw her favorite dish, he just smiled. He was glad Hanabi told him everything about Hinata after she died. He knew Hinata inside and out, he was prepared. Naruto grabbed the pitcher a poured her a glass of water. Then he sat down in his chair. "Well dig in, I hope you like it. I cooked it myself." Naruto said with a smile.
"Bean jelly, pork with rice, and what is that smell? Cinnamon rolls? All my favorite foods! How did he know!? Hinata grabbed her chopsticks and started to eat. Naruto watched her in amazement. How the love of his life was eating his cooking. "This is delicious…N-naruto…how did you know this was my favorite?" asked Hinata, halfway done eating.
"I had help, from a friend." Naruto said with a smile, his plate was already empty. He took a sip of water when he heard the oven timer beeping. "ooo desert is ready. He put on his oven mitts and pulled the tray out of the oven and into the counter. He placed the fresh cinnamon rolls on a plate and put the next to the pitcher of water. Seeing Hinata's empty plate, he picked up the dishes and put them in the sink. He then sat back down in his chair, staring deep into Hinata's beautiful eyes. Which made her turn red…again. "Go on try a roll." Naruto encouraged hinata.
She picked one up and started eating, "it is delicious, Naruto. This is the best date ever!" she quickly gasped and placed both hands on her mouth surprised she blurted out the word date. She was scared that Naruto might think less of her.
"Well I'm glad you like the rolls, and yes I agree, this is the best date, ever." Naruto said with a big happy smile, which made Hinata's heart melt. And she started to fidget with her fingers again, Naruto quickly reache behind him in his coat pocket and pulled out the small box. "You know this is my first date also. So it's extra special that it is with you Hinata."
"R-really?" Hinata asked in amazement. Growing hotter by the second, as her heart rate jumped through the roof.
"Yes really Hinata." Naruto said as he stood up and walked up next to her. "ive been wanting to ask you to dinner for so long but I never knew how to ask you. I guess I was just blind, but know I can see. Hinata, there is something I've been wanting you to ask for a long time time…" he reached for the box and opened it revealing a beautiful silver necklace with beautiful flower pendant on it. "…would you like to be my girlfriend?"
Hinata couldn't believe this, her crush, the boy she liked and loved just asked her to be his girlfriend. Her face suddenly turned back to its normal color and instead tears were rolling down her eyes. "Y-y-yes Naruto I would love to be your girlfriend!" Hinata got up off her chair and tackled Naruto to the floor hugging him tightly fearing that if she let go she would lose him forever.
"So now that we finished dinner and desert, and we are now officially boyfriend/girlfriend what would you like to do?" asked Naruto to his beautiful new girlfriend
"H-how about we take a walk to the park holding hands?" aske hinata with a small blush.
"Okayyy Hinata sounds perfect!" said Naruto happily. As they got up he remembered that necklace was still in his hand. "Hinata wait, let me put your necklace on you." She quickly let her jacket slide down a little so Naruto could place the necklace around her neck with ease.
"Thank you N-naruto for the lovely gift, you are the best boyfriend ever." Said Hinata blushingly as she hugged her boyfriend.
"You are welcome, and you deserve it for being the best girlfriend ever! Now come on let's take that walk." Naruto said holding Hinata;s hand as he opened the door shocked to find out that it was raining heavily outside. "Bummer, looks like that walk will have to wait." Said Naruto as he closed the door. "wanna watch tv instead?"
"okay." Squeaked Hinata with joy. They both sat on the couch side by side, very close. Naruto put his arm around Hinata holding her close, making her feel warm and safe, she put her hand on his and laced her fingers with his.
Naruto reached for the remote with his free hand and turned on the tube. The tv came on and said. "Stay tuned for 'The Big Bang Theory.'" To which Hinata replied, "Definite the best date ever."
Naruto snuggled to his girlfriend and sighed, "Best date ever, indeed."
