"You're going to have to make the best of the time you have before leave. Because I don't see any other way for this to work out..."
. . . .
Naruto went into deep thought for a pregnant moment while Tsunade and his father started going over plans for the future, ways to explain Sasuke's disappearance and to keep people from going after him. Naruto's brow furrowed as he continued to think. He NEEDED to think of a way out of this. He sat there until Kurama pitched in with an idea. "Why don't you just use the Hiraishin to flash in and out of the village whenever you want to come back?" the Fox offered with a lazy drawl. Naruto's eyes snapped open and were as wide as they could possibly be. "DAMMIT KURAMA WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER!" he yelled and he smacked his forehead...Hard.
Cole and Tsunade looked at him with a look of shock and confusion. "I honestly thought you or the Gaki would be able to figure that out. Seems y ain't as smart as I thought Kit." Kurama deadpanned as a large bead of sweat rolled down the side of his head. Naruto growled in frustration as he tried to not pull his own hair out. "Naruto, the hell is wrong with you!?" Tsunade questioned the smaller blond.
Naruto just hung his hand and summoned a Hiraishin Kunai. Without saying a word Cole got the message and proceeded to face palm, with both hands. Tsunade raised an eyebrow, still confused. Cole sighed and fell into the couch. "The Hiraishin. He could just flash into Konoha for a day or two and then be halfway across the world in an instant." he groaned as he continued to bash himself for not thinking of that.
Tsunade gawked at them and proceeded to join them in the face palming party. They all sat there contemplating their own idiocy for a few minutes before Naruto walked over to the door. "Yeah I'm just gonna go home. Don't wanna stick around and learn that I am more of an idiot then I already am." he mumbled as he began to open the door. Tsunade stopped him before he could leave though. "Wait! You still haven't given me a report on how the training went." she said in a tired tone.
Naruto just sighed loudly and looked at her. "The privacy seals are up right?" he asked and she nodded in return. "And they won't let out chakra signatures, right?" he asked, and again she nodded. "Alright then," he said as he let Kurama's chakra cloak form on him for a moment. Tsunade gawked at the amount of power he was giving out, and the fact that it looked down right amazing. Naruto dispelled the cloak. "I can hold that for a few hours. So, the training was a success. Bye!" he said as he sauntered out of the office.
. . . .
Naruto calmly walked his way down the roads of Konoha, heading over to his parents house. He knew he could just Hiraishin there, but that just felt like abusing its power...that and he just felt like walking off his little lapse of stupidity. As he walked he noticed the subtle glances, the muffled words, the well known look, and the loud...squeal of fan girls? "Namikaze-sama~!" a group of girls ranging from sixteen to twelve all squealed as they started to chase after him.
Naruto's face paled before he narrowed his eyes. "Yeah...no." he said as he flashed the fuck out of there. Abusing the Hiraishin be damned! He flashed into his living room...right next to his pregnant mother. "HOLY MOTHER OF SHIT! DON'T DO THAT BRAT!" she said as she damn near had a heart attack and jumped about five feet back. Naruto laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "S-sorry Mom..." he said with a nervous chuckle. Anko huffed as she walked over to him and bopped him on the head. "Yeah ya better be twerp. Welcome back." she said with a smile and gave him a quick hug. Naruto smiled and hugged her back and then sat down on the couch. She sat next to him with a loud sigh and put her feet up on the ottoman. "So, where's that husband of mine?" she asked in a mischievous tone.
Naruto shrugged and leaned back a bit into the couch. "I think he's still talking to Oba-Chan." he said as he closed his eyes and thought over the days events. He had finished his training a day early, hung out with Bee for a bit, got a gut check from Sasuke and his disappearance, and had a quick lapse of idiocy that Kurama was still laughing about. All in all, today kinda sucked. He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose after recounting the crap of the day. Anko raised an eyebrow at him. "That bad a day huh?" she asked her adopted son. All Naruto did was nod with a sigh. Anko nodded a couple of times. "Yes, yes I see...well...why are you here? And not with your little Hime-chan?" she asked with a sly smile. And then something happened that Anko didn't expect, Naruto hung his head and sighed heavily.
She raised a concerned eyebrow at him. "Uhh...is there something wrong in paradise there twerp?" she asked the blond. Naruto just groaned and leaned back into the couch. "Well...I trying to find a way to explain that I'll be in and out of Konoha for weeks or months at a time for the next three years..." he started to say before Anko interrupted him...along with Hinata. "WHAT!?" they both yelled at the same time. Naruto jumped out from the couch and looked at his girlfriend who had just appeared out of nowhere. "H-H-H-Hime! What are you doing here!?" he asked trying to quickly change the subject.
Hinata didn't take the bait. "Oh No. No changing the subject. Explain. Now." she said in a commanding tone. Naruto paled and gulped nervously before he started explaining his situation. All in all, she took it kinda well. Kinda. He started to see tears well up in her eyes and he started waving his hands frantically. "B-but don't worry Hime! I can use the Hiraishin to flash back to Konoha whenever I want! I just won't be able to stay for more than a day or two..." he said before she burst into tears and held onto him for dear life.
Anko watched the events in front of her and felt a little awkward. She stood up from the couch and started scooting out of the living room. "I'll...ah...I'll just be going...let you guys...uh...work this out..." she said as she left the living room and headed over to her and Cole's room. Just before she left the living room Cole walked in. "Hey I'm-" he started to say before he saw Hinata crying in Naruto's arms. His face went blank as he just walked past them and followed after Anko. "You got any Sake in there?" he asked his wife. "Yeah, and some snacks in case they take a while." she said as she walked on. Cole nodded and followed after her. "Good, I feel this might take a bit..."
Naruto didn't pay his parents any attention. He just focused himself on calming Hinata down. He held her while stroking her hair and muttering soft and comforting words to her. After a few minutes she finally stopped crying. She sniffed and looked him in the eye. "I can't believe this...I just get you back and you are forced to leave again..." she said through sniffles. Naruto smiled sadly at her and wiped away a stray tear with his thumb. "Tell you what," he said in a soft voice. "How about I come back to the village, every Sunday, just to visit you. How does that sound?" he said to her. She pouted at him and buried her face in his chest. "I want to see you everyday...Why can't I just have you?" she said into his chest. Naruto felt a pang in his heart at her words. "W...what?" he breathed. She looked up at him and sniffed once more. "Naruto...I love you more than anything...I hate seeing you leave me, it just crushed me every time that you leave, that it could be the last time I ever see you...Why can't I just have you? I know it's selfish, but I want you all to myself. I love you Naruto, and I want to be with you forever..." she said to the blond, and right as she finished, he claimed her lips with his own.
She let out a small squeak when he first kissed he, but quickly settled into his embrace and kissed him back. Without breaking away from her he dragged her over to the couch and sat down, her in his lap. They continued to kiss as Naruto brushed her lips with his tongue. She graciously complied and began to fight for dominance. And surprisingly won out over the blond.
They continued to kiss and moan for what seemed like hours before they separated from each other, panting and looking heatedly into each others eyes. The first one to recover was Naruto. "Marry me." he panted as he held Hinata close to him. She sobered instantly and flashed a crimson blush. "W-w-what!?" she squeaked. Naruto pulled her closer and planted another long kiss. "It doesn't have to be now," he said when they separated again. "When I get back," he said and gave her a quick kiss on her chin. "Hinata, I love you more than anyone in the world. Hyuuga Hinata, will you marry me?" he asked with pleading eyes.
Hinata flushed with the biggest and brightest blush she had ever had. After a moment of silence she leaned in for a slow, passionate kiss. "Of course my Kitsune Kishi. Of course I will marry you."
