A/N: Let Chapter 2, BEGIN!


*knock knock*

"I'll get it!" Koji shouted. Koji ran up to the front door and opened it, revealing Naruto, Hinata, Boruto and Himawari.

"WE HAVE ARRIVED!" Naruto said, gesturing his arms out and the air and to the side (like Maria does in sound of music).

Koji rolled his lavender eyes. "You're so weird, Uncle Naruto."

"Just for that," Naruto picked Koji up and threw him over his shoulder like a bag of flour. "You're coming with me!"

"WAIT! WAIT! OK OK I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" Koji screeched. Naruto put the screaming boy down, while Hinata made her way to the kitchen.

"Hello Tenten." Hinata greeted cheerfully.

"Hey Hinata. How are you?" Tenten asked.

"I'm just fine. How are you?" Hinata replied.

"Better now that Neji's finally home." Tenten said. Hinata smiled at her words. Hinata then felt a tug at her sleeve. She turned around to face Himawari.

"Hey Aunt Tenten!" Himawari greeted.

"Hey Himawari. What's up?" Tenten asked the girl.

"Not much, but um, where is Uncle Neji and Akane?"

"Neji is outside helping Akane train. You can go out there if you want."

"Ok!" Himawari turned around and sprinted for the back door. When she got out there, she saw that Naruto, Boruto and Koji had also made their way outside. Koji, Naruto and Neji were all standing out to the side while they watched Boruto and Akane having a practice fight out on the grass.

Himawari ran up to Neji. "Hi Uncle Neji!"

"Hello Himawari." Neji gave a genuine smile to the girl.

"Who's winning?" Himawari asked, gesturing towards the fight.

"Akane seems to be kicking Boruto's butt." Koji said.

Himawari liked the sound of that. "Go Akane!" She shouted.

"HIMA?! WHY AREN'T YOU ROUTING FOR YOUR OLDER BROTHER?!" Boruto shouted.

"BECAUSE AKANE'S BETTER!" Himawari shouted back.

Boruto stopped fighting. "I feel the lov- OMPH!" Boruto was cut off when Akane roundhouse kicked him and he fell down.

"That's not fair! You have Byakugan AND weapons!" He shouted. Akane knelt down on one knee next to him.

"That was taijutsu, idiot. Just admit it." Akane said and got closer to his face. "I won." Akane was like her mom in that she hated it when people were sexist, like when saying that guys are better in battle than girls were.

Akane ran over to her brother and gave him a high five and her dad a smile.

"DINNER'S READY!" Tenten shouted from the kitchen. Boruto made his way over to his sister and dad.

"Well, at least you tried." Naruto said. "But you wanna know something?"

"What is it?"

"When I was 12, and your Uncle was 13, I beat him in the Chunin Exams." Naruto whispered. Boruto seemed shocked.

"You beat Uncle Neji? How is that even possible?"

"Lots and lots of determination. After all, if I wasn't a good shinobi," Naruto stood up and put his hands on his hips like a hero would. "THEN HOW DID I BECOME THE HOKAGE?"

"I've been wondering that too." Boruto said sarcastically.

"Just for that, I'm eating your food." Naruto threatened.

"I LOVE YOU DAD."

"Of course you do. Now come on, let's go eat."


"Thank you for the meal, Tenten." Hinata said.

"Oh, it was my pleasure. Thank you for helping, and thank you guys for coming. Have a nice night!" Tenten replied.

"Goodbye!" Boruto, Naruto, and Himawari said. With that, the Uzumakis' left the house.

Neji and Tenten retired to the couch, and Koji and Akane went up to their rooms. Akane took off her forehead protector, and placed it on her bedside table. After placing it down, she stared at it for a second. She then remembered something. She put it back on and traveled downstairs to the living room where her parents were.

"Mom, Dad?" Akane said, gaining the attention of her parents.

"What is it Akane?" Tenten asked. Neji motioned for her to come sit between him and Tenten.

"Well, do you know what's coming up?" Akane asked.

"No, what?" Neji asked.

"Um, it's the Chunin Exams." She said. Neji and Tenten shared a look.

"Ok, what about it?" Tenten asked.

"My Sensei suggested my team for the exams. I waited for Dad to come back to tell you two. I think Boruto and his teammates are going as well." Akane said.

"Well that's great news isn't it? Aren't you excited?" Tenten said.

"Well, yes, but I'm also a bit afraid." Akane said.

"Well, at least you'll know someone there, but why are you afraid?" Tenten asked.

"I don't think I'm ready. But I didn't want to let my team down. They really wanted to do this."

Neji then about how Akane was like Hinata. He smirked to himself. "Trust me Akane, you'll be fine." He said, confident of his daughter. Akane looked at her dad, surprised. Sure, her father was supportive of her, but he was usually a man of no emotion.

"You really think so?" Akane asked.

"I KNOW so." He said. Akane gave him a big hug.

"Thank you…" Akane started. "...daddy."

Neji was shocked. Akane also didn't show emotion unless she needed to, like her father, and rarely ever calls Neji 'daddy'. This just played with his heart-strings.

"You're welcome…" Neji said softly.

But then Koji just had to ruin the moment.

"MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!" Koji shouted.

"SOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN?" Tenten shouted back. Koji came bounding down the stairs and into the living room where the rest of his family was.

"I was wondering something." Koji said.

"Ok, what is it?" Tenten asked.

"Do we have any ramen?" Koji asked.

Akane face palmed, returning to her old self. "You nitwit. We just ate, and it's 10 o'clock at night! How can you possibly be hungry?"

"You spend too much time with your Uncle." Neji scoffed.

"Is that a bad thing? I always have to be with him so I know when he goes Ichiraku- I mean, I love being with my Uncle!"

"U-huh." Tenten said, crossing her arms over her chest. "My dear son, I love you and all, but is that really all you came down here for?"

"Yes. No? I don't know…" Koji said.

Neji sighed. "The ramen is in the top shelf above the stove, but don't make yourself sick."

"Thanks Dad!"

"You're actually giving in to him, Dad?" Akane asked. "That nitwit."

Neji just gave his daughter a smirk in return.

"Alright, ramen boy, you and your sister need to go to bed, so go upstairs and eat your ramen in your room." Tenten said.

"Fiiinneee." Koji said. Koji went over to the couch to grab Akane's hand, and drag her upstairs.

"Wait, Koji! I didn't say go- GOODNIGHT!" Akane shouted.

"Goodnight!" Tenten and Neji shouted back.

"We have the weirdest kids." Neji said.

"Um no, I think it's just our son." Tenten laughed. They sat together in comfortable silence before Neji spoke.

"Hey, Tenten?" He said.

"What is it?" Tenten asked.

"Do you think… do you think Akane will…you know…pass?" Neji asked, with a worried tone in his voice.

"I think she has a fair shot, yes, but if she's like us, she'll probably take it again when she's 15." Tenten said.

"You're right. It's just…" Neji trailed off. "I don't want anything bad to happen to her. I mean… she's still my little girl…"

"Awwwwww. You're so sweet." Tenten said, scooting closer to her husband. "But, I wouldn't think to much about it, I'm sure nothing bad will happen."

"You're probably right." Neji sighed, putting his arm around her. The two of them sat in peace before Tenten talked again.

"Hey." She started. Neji looked over to see his wife. "Didn't you say something earlier about celebrating?"

He thought for a second before smirking. "Hm. I think I did." He then launched himself at his wife and she fell back on the couch, with him on top of her. He then lowered his head to claim her lips as his own.

They continued making out for awhile, and thought that before they could go any further, to go upstairs and continue in the privacy of their room.

So, they ventured upstairs and into their room. Neji closed the door, while Tenten made her way over to the bed. Neji then snatched his wife and her carried onto the bed where they continued their previous activities.

After all, isn't what they're about to do, what celebrating means?
