I wish this was longer, but honestly I loved writing this chapter.

In a stinky bar

"You are a terrible liar." Mika said to Tsunade, who froze. "You just said Orochimaru wanted only to say hi, that is a laughable conclusion. Besides, you looked at Shizune, and she started to panic. Really, I'd work on that."

Hinata nodded, her eyes in their normal state, picked up a lot. "You are sweating and your pulse is up. You are lying. More so, when Jiraiya said you'd become Hokage, you looked ashamed, and terrified. You are hiding a lot, I would venture to guess it has to do with your connection to old Snake Face."

Tsunade turned, growling lowly. "Who are they, Jiraiya? Why'd you bring two random genin to annoy me."

The man sighed. "Two of the most capable genin I have ever met. Mika bested Naruto here, using the Nintetails power, easily. Hinata bested one of the best living Hyuugas with two created moves. Both mastered the first two stages of sealing in a few weeks. Really, they may be more capable than we are."

She stared at them, for a long moment. "Really... I wouldn't guess, they're scrawny."

"So are you?" Mika said.

That made her laugh. "Fair enough."

Naruto growled. "I don't understand any of this! Why does she have to be Hokage?"

Hinata sighed. "Open up a history book, Naruto. She saved our asses in the Second war! No one, in our history has done more expect maybe her Uncle The Second Hokage. She literally founded all medical aspects of the Leaf. She Made the system for medical ninjas, and saved us from Lady Chiyo's poisons! She is a heroine in every sense of the word. She is unparalleled in medical skills as well as taijutsu and has super strength. She is a seal master even better than Jiraiya, and she has the bloodline of a Senju and Uzumaki, so her chakra levels are massive. She is our best candidate by miles."

"You did your homework." Tsunade. "Pity, it won't be enough. Being Hokage is a fool's bet."

Naruto then, to no one's shock, literally charged Tsunade right over the table. "Why you! Wanna take this outside, I'll demolish you!"

Hinata jabbed his leg, knocking him down. "ENOUGH!" Her killer intent flaired and Naruto paled. "She is going to be the Hokage, she has no choice." Turning, Hinata gave Tsunade a look. "I know of your loss, of Dan and Nawaki. My father told me that story, years ago, before he lost his compassion. I am dearly and deeply sorry for that. No one deserves that, but many have lost countless people. Some like Mika and Naruto never had anyone to lose. The village you swore to protect, it needs you again. To help it, if only until I take the mantle."

Mika smirked, only he knew this secret, one Hinata swore him to secrecy. They only spoke of it once, and it was the one time they drank Sake the day after the Invasion. They tended not to talk about it, mostly out of barely remembering that day, but that fact he did remember.

"What?" Naruto and Tsunade said.

She sighed. "I want to change the Hyuuga ways, I need to help people like Naruto. I want to save Orphans who are sold into ROOT and abused. I need to better our home. To be Hokage, is the only way I can do this. You need to help me with that."

Tsunade frowned, her eyes contemplative. "Do you really want to do all that?"

"That and more. The village has so many issues, so many traumas, someone has to heal it. Naruto wants to be Hokage, but he is lazy, sloppy and weak willed. He believes in how he wants to world over how it is. He would be a bandage Hokage at best, a place holder by default of being powerful. That is it."

Naruto looked hurt, betrayed, but it was a fact. Naruto was not the kind to really make any real changes, he could not see what was wrong clearly enough to change it. He also had no diplomacy, or interest in growing the right way. He looked for shortcuts, he would never make a good Hokage.

Tsunade turned to Mika. " What is your dream then?"

"To Join ANBU, get powerful and become either head of ANBU or the Jonin. I would like to fix the Orphanages and help Orphans get proper training. I am a pretty good, but I am almost entirely self trained. How many people with your level of potential, have been ignored for Dead teams? I was on one and here I am, one of the strongest of my year."

She sighed, contemplative. "I..."

"OUTSIDE, Right now, you and me!" Naruto barked, and the Two Adoptive siblings sighed.

They sighed even deeper when Tsunade ignored their points and went outside to humiliate Naruto who failed to use the Rasengan on her. She gave him a week to master the Rasengan and she would be Hokage and give him her legendary Necklace.

"So much for that." Mika muttered. "Why is Naruto such a joke? No diplomacy at all."

Hinata sighed. "I cannot really remember why I was so infatuated with him..." She scratched her head. "Really, it is a blank to me."

"Let's go mediate, we can spar tomorrow."

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
