-Naruto Shippuden -H-: Chapter 002: Kakashi Hatake - Sixth Hokage-
"A, a secret, what kind of secret could you be talking about?" asked Naruto as he and Hinata laid in their bed.
"Oh, well, ummm, ummm, we are going to have a child." said Hinata as she began to blush ever so brightly.
"A child, what, our..you...serious?" asked Naruto as he started to sweat and fell out of the bed.
"Yes, I could not be any happier, but this is certainly a new expirence that makes me feel nervous." said Hinata with a smile and shyness.
"Hmmm, we will talk about it in the morning, you are very tired right now dear, just relax and let yourself rest." said Naruto as he kissed Hinata on the forehead and laid beside her with the thought of their unborn child in his mind.
"I wonder what we will name him, uhhhhm, or her?" asked Naruto to himself as he fell asleep.
The next morning, things are going on their usual track in Konohagakure, and Kakashi is slow to get up and accustomed to the routine again.
"Kakashi, it is seven in the morning, time to get up and start looking over the feedbacks from the other villages." said Shizune to the sleepy man.
"Just, five more minutes." said Kakashi as he had a copy of Icha Icha Tactics on his face.
"That's it, I am going to throw that book away unless you get up!" yelled Shizune in a comical manner as Kakashi immediately got out of his bed.
"Okay, okay, I am up, but that bed is soooo cozy." said Kakashi as he walked towards the mirror in the living quarters of the Kage's mansion.
"Sorry if I scared you, I had to do the same thing with Tsunade when she was Hokage." said Shizune in an apologetic manner.
"Ah, don't sweat it, it was my fault for being up too late last night anyway." said Kakashi as he finished putting on his Hokage attire and started to walk up the steps that led to the office.
"It can be a stressful job, even more than being on the battlefield, eh?" asked Shizune.
"Well, I would not say it is that bad, it is just all of the documents and paperwork, they are endless, it is almost like I am under a genjutsu or something!" said Kakashi who was already looking dazed as he and Shizune arrived in the office.
"It is no genjutsu, this is the jutsu known as being Hokage, if you know what I mean." said Shizune as she handed Kakakshi two cups of his favorite coffee.
"Hooo boy, never thought I would get this acquainted with coffee, it sure can be a life saver." said Kakashi as he chugged both cups almost instantly.
"My goodness, it seems you were very groggy this morning, but that should do the trick." said Shizune as she handed Kakashi the reports for the day.
"It is eight in the morning now, looks like you will not be too busy today, when you are finished, you can come by my place, that is... if you want." blushed Shizune as she slowly walked out of the door.
"Hmmmm, is she still trying to bedazzle me, oh silly girl, the only thing that will have my attention is all of these reports for the next eight hours!" said Kakashi as he began to intensely sign off on all of the required documents for the day.
The eight hours passed quickly as Kakashi finished up on signing the last of the documents pertaining to the Allied Chunin Exams that were to be held in a month. Kakashi got up and cleaned the office before leaving his room.
"Only thing to do now is wait for Naruto and Hinata to get back from their honeymoon, then I can ask him for that favor." said Kakashi as he laid in his bed and looked over at the picture of his genin team.
"Well Rin, Sensei, Obito, today sure was monotonous, but it was also peaceful, there was a lot of festivities going on in the village today, I did not get to participate obviously but at least the village is being protected just as you three would want." thought Kakashi to himself as he stared at the ceiling.
"Well, well, if it isn't my rival slacking off on the job yet again, the passion of youth is lost in you." said a loud voice as Kakashi rose up out of the bed.
"For your information Gai, I have just finished all of my reports for the day and was just waiting for Shizune to return with any additional updates for my field duty." said Kakashi in an aggravated tone.
"Sorry to bother you, but I was just wanting to make sure that my number one rival was ready for his field duty." said Might Guy with an optimistic tone.
"Don't worry I am, just take it easy yourself Gai, after all, I have been hearing that you have been trying to train again despite your injury." said Kakashi as he got into his shinobi outfit and equipped his book.
"Yeah, this injury sure is a pain, but what better way to retire than from using the eight gates against the Ten Tails Jinchurikki Madara!" said Guy as he sat proudly in his wheel-chair and remembered his bout against Madara two and a half years prior.
"It sure was something else, there is no reason for you to feel depressed Gai, what you did during the war was an ultimate act of self sacrifice and what it truly means to be a shinobi." said Kakashi as he places his arm on Gai's shoulder and gave him an assuring look as he left the mansion to report to his fielf duty.
"Thanks you Kakashi, I will be sure to show off more of my heroics in the next game of Janken, just you wait my rival." said Guy as he wheeled his way back to the hotsprings.
Kakashi reported to the southern border of Konohagakure, along with Kiba and Shino, to start up his three hour field duty for the day.
"Man, this bites, no missions of interest and now I am stuck here looking at the horizon for the next three hours." said Kiba with an aggravated tone.
"You are irritated, why is that?, because you hate to remain on a job that requires you to remain as motionless as an insect." said Shino as stoic as ever.
"No, it is your word-play that pisses me off." said Kiba as he sat down to observe his post.
"You guys sure are entertaining, but this field duty will be over in no time, afterall I had to undertake eight hours of paperwork prior to." said Kakashi with a sweat.
"Goodness, maybe I will just remain a jonin for the rest of my life then, hehe." said Kiba who hated the prospect of being confined to a desk for most of his day.
Elsewhere, Naruto and Hinata were on their way back from the Land of Lightning and had finally arrived into the Land of Fire.
"I cannot still shake that thought out of my head, being a dad, that is something else." said Naruto with a lound and excited voice.
"I wounder if it is like when Miso Ramen and Beef Ramen get together." continued on Naruto in his ditzy manner.
"Yes, it was definatley a surprise to me as well, I was feeling a little dizzy when we first arrived at the island, so I decided to go see a nurse and that is where I found out about it." said Hinata.
"Oh really, I thought you just ate too many flower garden salads." said Naruto who was ignorant of what Hinata said.
"We are almost back in the village, let's keep this a secret between us for now, we can announce it to everyone else soon, but I just want it to be a surprise." said Hinata who started to blush again.
"Sure thing, the look on everyone's faces will be awesome, I cannot wait to see Kakashi-sensei and Sakura's reactions the most." said Naruto who was so excited he was shaking.
"Oh wow, you really are excited about this." said Hinata as the two made their way back to the village.
Back on the Island where Naruto and Hinata had their honeymoon, the hotel they were staying in was being eyed by someone.
"Oho, so they must have left my now, I was certain that, according to the data that was presented, there would be at least one more day before the hero Naruto Uzumaki departed back to Konohagakure." said an older man wearing a suit and tie, emerging from the forest that surrounded the hotel.
"It seems I am too late for now, but with Naruto's commitment to his wife, I am sure that they will be fine." said the old man in the suit as he was approached by a janitor that kept the hotel clean.
"Excuse me sir are you okay?" asked the janitor in a concerned manner.
"Oh I would not worry about me." said the old man in the suit as he pulled out a kunai and stabbed the janitor in the abdomen.
"Time to leave, if Naruto is not here, this place is worthless to me." said the old man as he ran off into the location of the Land of Lightning's border.
"Jesei, was Naruto at the Island off the coast of the Land of Lightning's beach?" asked a voice from a radio that the man in the suit had in his ear.
"No Antoine, he was not their, but I will be sure to find him and issue him a challenge that he cannot refuse." said the man whose name was Jesei Leikough.
"Naruto Uzumaki, the big boss sure is excited at the prospect of meeting you, I would just hate to keep him waiting much longer, please be a good boy and stay in Konoha for me." laughed the elderly Jesei as he was determined to arrive in Konoha to confront the Uzumaki.
Elsewhere, Kakashi's field duty came to an end, and he decided to return back to his bedroom in the Hokage's living quarters.
"Man, that sure was another smooth day, not a single sight of any trouble at all." said Kakashi as he took of his Hokage hat and immediately fell onto his bed.
"Well Obito, Rin, Sensei, the evening was not so bad either, things went good while I was out patrolling the border of our village, though I wish I could have a little bit of sake, anyway I will talk to you guys tomorrow." thought Kakashi as he always remembered to speak with his former team in his heart every morning and evening.
"Hmmm, now maybe I should go to the library tomorrow before my work begins and find a new book to read in my off time, yes, and maybe I can ask Shizune to come with me, that wou..." said Kakashi as he dozed off into sleep as night had arrived.
"Kakashi sensei!" yelled Naruto as he ran into the room of the sleeping man.
"Wooooaaahhhh!" yelled Kakashi as he jumped out of his bed.
"I have good news, me and Hinata's honeymoon went very well, excellent in fact!" yelled Naruto with much joy.
"I see Naruto, that is good, but did you really have to wake me up at three in the morning!" yelled Kakashi as he fell back onto his bed.
"Oh sorry, I will tell you more about our honeymoon in the afternoon." said Naruto as he shut the door the Kakashi's bedroom.
"Honeymoon, honey...moon, honey..." murmured Kakashi as he dozed off into sleep once again thinking of how hungry he was.
The elderly man in the suit continued on his way towards Konoha with the intent of meeting Naruto Uzumaki.
"Damn, it seems night has finally arrived, heh, this will make it easier to infiltrated the Land of Fire without being noticed at all." said Jesei as he arrived at a watchtower where a shinobi from Kumogakure was watching over the border.
"Hmmm, seems he is asleep right now, I guess times of peace had only manged to lower the guard of these worthless shinobi nowadays." said Jesei as he performed the rabbit and ox handsigns. "Ninja Art: Countless Homing Shuriken" said Jesei as many shuriken were launched up at the sleeping ninja high atop the watchtower he was in.
"Guaaaahhhh!" screamed the Kumo shinobi as he awoke the find his body pierced head to toe with shuriken before dieing from the injury.
"Maybe next time, I will come across a Konoha shinobi!" said Jesei as he ran out of the Land of Lightning's border and had his target set in Konohagakure.
"I am sure the boss will not mind if I leave a few more corpses in my wake." said Jesei as he was suddenly greeted by a figure standing in the forest to the right of his position.
