Two days later at Naru's apartment…
Naru was excited as she finally became a Shinobi.
She wanted to look her finest, to be certain that everyone would remember her face. With some white and some red, and a tiny dash of orange, she was ready. Itachi acted as if his heart was going to flatline after seeing the beautiful face of his beloved.
"How do I look for my photo?" She smiled as the older Uchiha was stuttering like a fool as he could not think of any words to say.
Naru looked very confused at the boy as his face was red as a flower. Before Naru could ask if he was okay, she noticed what time it is and decided to get a move on, saying goodbye to a bewitched Itachi, who stood as still as a statue.
"How very smooth of you, Uchiha." A voice laughed from behind.
"Hatake Kakashi!" Itachi gasped as the white-haired pervert was chuckling at his reaction.
"Seems Naru has a way of lowering your guard. You could've easily sensed me coming a mile away." The former captain reminded as Itachi coughed in embarrassment and try to regain his composure.
"She caught me by surprise. I was no match for her beauty." Itachi admitted as the masked man gave his hidden grin.
"She looked like a geisha. Didn't know you were into something like that." Kakashi chuckled as if he thought of the older Uchiha as kinky.
That was the pot calling the kettle black.
"Are you here to mock me or is there something I need to know." Itachi grumpily huffed.
"The Hokage wanted to see you and Iruka this afternoon to talk about your future wife." He answered as Itachi listened with great seriousness.
It must be from last night when Mizuki attacked Naru and almost killed her.
"Alright, I will be there soon."
Later at the Hokage's office…
Naru had the biggest grin on her face as her goggles were on her head.
"Well, what do you think? I think it really captures my individuality and what I am as a ninja." She explained as the Hokage looked upon the picture, "Even Itachi was blown by it-."
"Retake it, Naruto." The Hokage ordered the young girl, using her nickname.
"Nani? No way! I spent three hours to put up that makeup, I worked really hard on it." She whined to the elder.
"This picture will be on your profile and tells what type of ninja. But in this picture, you can hardly tell it is you." The Third sighed, "You look more like a geisha."
"Itachi likes it…" Naru huffed with her arms crossed then realized something.
She had the upper hand.
"Transform!"
POOF!
Just as the smoke cleared, Itachi entered the room, unaware of what is going on.
"Lord Hokage, you wish to see me and-?"
Before them, was a vision of the future and beauty, with no clothes but radiates the elegance of the female figure.
"Pwetty Please?" She pleaded in the cutest way possible.
The great Hokage was sent flying back with his nose bleeding like a geyser or red. As for Itachi, he used his Sharingan to keep himself from being overwhelmed again. It was a useful thing to have, especially against his tricky wife. Itachi loved her with all his heart, but sometimes he worries that his fiancé would accidentally kill him with her irresistible charms or that Jutsu she just did. Naru could kill him with her tricks and beauty if he wasn't careful by the blond woman. Naru was truly a Kunoichi, gorgeous but deadly to a fault.
She then turned back to normal with a triumphant look on her face.
"Like it? I call it my Sexy Jutsu. Pretty cool, huh?" She smiled like a fox as the Third Hokage picked himself up from the ground with tissue to his nose that her fiancé kindly offered him.
"It is very tricky, perhaps too tricky. Don't do it again." He ordered as Itachi saw the picture of Naru.
"Lord Hokage, if I may, I would like to keep that picture of Naru." The elder Uchiha requested as he was smitten by his future wife.
"I can, though I am surprised." The Hokage answered then chuckled a bit.
Again, pot calling the kettle black.
"You really like it, Itachi? Awe, thank you." Naru thanked as Itachi blushed even more.
"Well, you are quite the beautiful woman, and a future husband must show pride in her attributes, her many wonderful attributes," Itachi explained himself.
"Also, where is your headband?" The Hokage asked.
"Oh, I left it back home because I didn't want it to get ruined on the first day," Naru answered.
"You are worried about damaging your headband, but you chose to look like this for your photo?" He questioned.
Itachi then heard footsteps, tiny footsteps that he knew very well, and took a step back.
It was the grandson of Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konohamaru Sarutobi, a trickster himself.
He was planning another attack when he slipped and fell, all the while his trainer came rushing in.
Ebisu was a snob the tenth degree, not even an Uchiha would have more arrogance than that man. Itachi watched Ebisu trying to help the young boy up when he spotted Naru. The Elder Uchiha did not like the look in his eyes.
"Ebisu, why are you looking at Naru in such a manner?" Itachi calmly asked as it made the trainer shiver, "You are not thinking things indecently about her, are you?"
"No-no! I would never think of such a way to the future wife of the Uchiha Clan!" He answered as Itachi knew it was true but like to keep him on his toes.
"Hey, you were the one who tripped me!" Konohamaru accused Naru as she picked up.
"Listen you little brat, you tripped by your own feet!" Naru snarled.
"Naruto! Release the honorable grandson at once!" Ebisu ordered as Naru hesitated in confusion.
She didn't know the Third was a grandfather.
"Ha! Yeah that's right! I bet you won't even hit me because I am the Third Hokage's Grandson!"
WHACK!
"I don't care if he's your Grandmother, you little brat!" She growled as she whacked him over the head.
Itachi knew she would do that. But that headstrong attitude was one of the reasons he loved her.
It wasn't long before Naru went off, giving Itachi a kiss on the cheek as the grandson of the Hokage was being lectured by that pompous peacock.
"You stay away from that ruffian, Honorable Grandson. You are destined to be the Hokage and to do so you must listen solely to me because I was right. Because I am the path to your success and to your great future and must only listen to me. Alright?"
But when he looked down, Konohamaru was already gone.
"Honorable Grandson? Where did he go?" Ebisu questioned as he looked around in a panic.
"I think he went to follow Naruto." The Hokage answered as he was smoking on his pipe.
"WHAT!? NO! HONORABLE GRANDSON!" He bellowed as he fled after them while the Hokage and the elder Uchiha sighed.
At the meeting outside the Academy…
Itachi stood beside Iruka as they informed him about what had transpired with Mizuki.
"Mizuki was taken in right after he was defeated. We still don't know why he wanted the scroll, but we can make a good guess." The elder Uchiha explained as the Hokage sighed, knowing what he meant.
"I see." Hokage breathed, "Tell me something, what do you know of the Nine-Tailed Fox and its connection to Naru."
"The Fox Demon appeared by an outsider, the pretender who stole the eyes of a dead Uchiha and caused chaos and death of many. Luckily, the Fourth's cunning and sacrifice were used to seal the beast away into an infant, the last child of the Uzumaki Clan, the Guardians against the Fox." Itachi answered, "It had caused her many hardships, ones I am willing to face with her."
"What do you mean hardships?" Iruka wondered with his face showing concerns.
"The Fourth wanted Naru Uzumaki, the little girl made sacrifice to be known as a hero. That was his dying wish. But fear was great and many saw Naru as the monster and even though it was an S class secret, the children sensed their parent's fear, causing Naru to be alone for quite some time." The Third explained, "But as an infant, the council desired to see the Uzumaki restored to their former glory and declared that Naruto be placed in the restoration act."
"But-but how could they?" Iruka gasped as he felt outraged for his student.
How dare they make Naru into a broodmare.
"I tried to avoid it but there was no chance of stopping them. So, I found a solution to please everyone. Naru will have the freedom to marry at least three men before she turns eighteen." He explained.
"My father offered me as one of the potential men to court and we developed a relationship over the years, until a purpose to her and she said yes," Itachi remembered as he was fond of that memory.
He missed his engagement ring, the original ring.
The day he lost his arm was the day he lost that ring, the day he lost almost everyone. All that was left of the Uchiha was him and his brother Sasuke. But soon it will grow again as Naru would become his wife.
"To be noticed and respected is her greatest dream. That is why she wants to be the Hokage." The Third finished.
"I-I never knew…" Iruka uttered as he wished she had talked to him, at least even once about her problems, her struggles.
Later that day at the training grounds…
Itachi came around with a bento for his bride as he sees Naru with Konohamaru and the unconscious Ebisu with a bleeding nose.
It seemed that Naru had unintentionally won over the boy's heart, quite an impressive feat she has done twice. She will probably do it some more over time.
"Itachi!" Naru grinned as she rushed over to the elder Uchiha and hugged him.
"I thought you may be hungry from teaching and I made you a little something." He offered as Naru blushed.
Konohamaru pouted then marched straight up to Itachi.
"Listen up, Uchiha! From this moment forward, we are rivals! I am going to become Hokage and Naruto-Sama's number one husband!" He vowed as Naru was shocked and Itachi chuckled.
"I look forward to the challenge and I accept your rivalry." Itachi accepted.
Yep, the couple of years will be rememberable.
