Well lets not get sentimental :') ON TO THE CHAPTER!

Chapter 12: Contracts

Cole and his son stood before the gates to the Hyuuga compound. "Alright," Cole thought. "Faze two: Get Naruto hitched start!"

The gate guard bowed to the quests and said, "Welcome to the Hyuuga Compound Uzumaki-sama. Hiashi-sama and the rest of the elder council are waiting. If you would follow me..."

Cole smiled to the man and said, "Thank you, lead the way." The guard turned and lead the Uzumaki duo into the compound. Once they crossed the gate, two things happened. The first was a nonstop barrage of questions from Naruto. Ones about the compound, who the guard was, why they needed to be escorted, why their eyes looked weird. But the most important question was why he had the feeling someone was following them. Cole hadn't even noticed the little stalker until Naruto had the feeling of being watched.

Cole just thought to himself, "Damn Hinata. You are really good at this whole unnoticeable thing. No wonder Naruto never knew you were watching over him." Cole turned his head in the direction of the little girl. Hinata had been hiding behind the corner of a building and when Cole looked at her and smiled she gave out a barely audible 'eep' and ran.

"Tou-san? What are you smiling at?" Naruto asked. Cole looked down at his son and said, "Oh, nothing Naru-chan. I was just happy."

. . . .

Once they arrived at the main house (no pun intended), they were greeted by Hiashi and his wife Hannah (A/N: Hanabi hasn't been born yet, so Hannah is still alive!). "Welcome Seinaru-san, Naruto-kun, to the Hyuuga Compound. I am pleased to see you are on time and well dressed," Hiashi said. Hannah gave him a curious look and said, "What else would they be? They are a noble clan such as our own. I wouldn't expect anything less."

Cole chuckled and Naruto looked somewhat confused. The little boy looked between the two Hyuuga's and was about to ask why they thought they wouldn't be on time. But before he could ask, a small flicker of movement came from behind Hannah which caught his eye. He titled his head to looked behind the woman but still couldn't see what was behind her.

Hannah noticed the little boy trying look behind her and felt someone holding her kimono. She smiled and turned to the little girl hiding behind her. "Come on Hinata-chan, why don't you say hi."

Hinata let out a slight 'eep' and looked down to her twiddling fingers. She only looked up to steal glances at the two males. She did a deep bow and introduced herself, "H-Hello, m-m-my n-name i-is H-Hinata." Hiashi instantly looked annoyed and reprimanded his daughter, "HINATA! Introduce yourself properly."

Cole saw Hinata's sad look and tried to console her before she would start to cry. But surprisingly a little blonde beat him to the punch. "Don't worry about it Hinata-chan," Naruto said in consoling tone. He glanced at Hiashi before he continued, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. And this is my Otou-san." Cole just had a look of slight surprise on his face at what his little three year old did. "Damn son," INNER COLE thought. "Slick moves."

Hiashi was a little more shocked, but for different reasons. When Naruto tried to support Hinata, he noticed that a) his daughter instantly stopped from crying, and b) had a blush that no three year old should have. He thought to himself that he would have to watch the Uzumaki child, no one would just come in and swoop up his little girl without going through him first.

. . . .

Naruto and Hinata hit it off pretty well once Hinata opened up a little more to him. They talked all though dinner, much to Cole and Hannah's amusement. And very much to Hiahsi's annoyance. Hiashi wasn't able to ask a single question he had for the Uzumaki with their children in the room. He looked to the elders and could tell they were thinking the same thing.

He was about to do something about it when Naruto asked a question to his father, "Hey, tou-san. Can me and Hinata-chan go outside and play. Cole smirked and responded to his son, "I don't know...why don't you ask Hiashi-san, and Hannah-san." The two three year old turned to the two older Hyuuga's and released something akin to a S class kinjutsu, the "Twin Puppy Dog Eyes of DOOM!" Hiashi and Hannah nearly needed to shield their eyes from the children in a attempt to not turn into mushy parents that let their kids do whatever they wanted.

After a brief second Hiashi said, while still trying not to look them in the eyes, "Yes, you may." The two instantly bolted out the door into the courtyard. Hannah looked very happy with the development. "I have never seen Hinata this open with anyone other than myself," she said in happy disbelief. Cole smiled warmly to where the kids ran off to, "Naruto seems to have that kind of effect on a lot of people. He is full of surprises..."

Hiashi cleared his throat, "now that the children are no longer here, why don't we get down to business?" Cole turned back to the Hyuuga head with a look of absolute seriousness. "Ah, yes. I believe you had some questions for me?"

"Indeed," Hiashi started. All of the elders stared at Cole's face as to tell if he was lying or withholding any truths. "I wanted to know how you really came to know of the treachery of the Kumo delegation." Cole let out a long sigh and said, "Well I guess new introductions are in order, but remember this, what I am about to tell you is a S class secret and is to only be discussed with me or the Hokage. If I even here of you disclosing this information to anyone without my permission I am at liberty to kill not only you, Hiashi-san, but the entirety of the Hyuuga clan. Are we clear?" Cole let some killing intent slip with his words.

This caused all of the elders to pale and shack slightly. Hiashi just gulped slightly and nodded.

Cole instantly pulled a 180 with his mood and took a mask out from his sleeve. He stood and put the mask over his face. "I am known as the Oracle, Seer of the future, and chosen one of the Rikkudou Sennin to raise the Child of Prophecy," Cole said as he did his intricate bow he hadn't had the chance to do in three long years. Hiashi looked at the man before him. "And you expect me to believe that," he deadpanned. "If you do not tell the truth then I wil-" he was cut off by Cole who raised his index finger to shush the Hyuuga. "I am completely truthful, Hiashi-san," he said as he slid his mask to the side of his head. "I never lie, and if you are wondering, no, I am not truly an Uzumaki. It is a cover I am using to keep myself hidden while I raise the Child of Prophecy. Hokage-sama already knows this and is allowing the facade." Hiashi could tell by just looking into the mans eyes, he was telling the truth.

"Well then," Hiashi started. "This, is a lot to take in. Am I correct to assume the 'Child' is Naruto, and that he plays a key role to the worlds future?" Cole raised a thumbs up, "Bingo."

Hiashi sighed and thought for a moment. A thought appeared in his head "Does Naruto have the potential to unlock the Rinnegan?" Cole shrugged and said, "It's is unlikely, but not entirely impossible. There are certain DNA modifications that can be done to him to unlock the doujutsu. But, if you are wondering, no Rinnegan in history is as powerful as mine, other than the Rikkudou Sennin's. So Naruto could use it, but not to the extent that I can."

Hiashi began to think again. He didn't know what to say about the new information. "Who were Naruto's real parent?" Hannah spoke up. Cole looked over to her, a little happy that she a least wanted to know something about Naruto, and not just if he could unlock the Rinnegan. "I am not at liberty to say, you would have to ask the Hokage for that information, but it really shouldn't be that hard to guess when you piece together who the only Uzumaki in the village was and who he looks almost exactly like."

The Hyuuga's only need that much to put two and two together. Hannah began to stutter, "Y-you, m-mean Kushi-chan and...and...and..." Cole stopped her before she could go on, "Ah, ah, ah. S class secrets don't get said out loud without permission." Hannah nodded vigorously and Hiashi looked somewhat pale. Not only was the child the heir to the Uzumaki clan, but also heir to the Namikaze clan, and the proverbial 'chosen one', AND the son to the Yondaime Hokage! The child was basically the closest thing a ninja could get to being a prince.

Cole looked at all of the shocked Hyuuga's in the room and thought it would be the perfect time to pop his little question, "Also, Hiashi-san, Hannah-san, if you would entertain a idea of mine, and I know it is a little old fashioned, but hear me out here. I would like to have a marriage contract between Naruto and Hinata."
