When Hyuga Hyashi received Hiroshi's announcement a smile appeared on his face, a big surprise considering the man doesnt used to getting carried away by emotions!
Could it be that the young boy had finally realized what was an obvious truth to the rest of the world?
He hoped that was the case
Hyashi had counted the days since the Rokudaime asked him the favor of letting Naruto visit the main house of the clan, for the Hyuga leader it was more than clear the boy's true intention was simply to spend time with Hinata.
1 day
2 days
7 days
2 weeks
Time passed and Hyashi saw the boy arrive almost every afternoon, sat down with him, received all the lessons with attention (at least the attention you could expect from a ninja as clueless as Naruto) and then spent a not inconsiderable time talking with his eldest daughter.
He noted the boy's obsession with the clan's marriage rules, ok if they were a bit strict, but represented minimal obstacles, nothing that a decent proposal from the next Hokage, hero of the ninja world, couldn't overcome.
It had to be a matter of time, he knew.
Due to the brilliant look the young man gave her daughter every time she was included in the training sessions,
Due to the way his eyes never left hers when she made the tea.
Due to the incessant (and sometimes annoying) attempt to make her smile under any excuse…
It was certain, Naruto Uzumaki was head over heels in love with the Hyuga heiress. And that made the heart of the patriarch of the family happy, thinking of the well-deserved happiness Hinata could obtain at the blond's side.
And so he started to feel, without realizing it, the affection of a son towards the blonde. Nothing gave him more peace of mind than knowing from now on his most precious beings could count with the protection of the strongest man in the ninja world.
Because of course the Hyuga clan was powerful and respected, but it was absurd to try to compare themselves to the overwhelming power of the Kyubi bearer. Hyashi knew perfectly well that if for some reason the clan opposed the union between Hinata and Naruto, the blonde could easily wipe out the existence of the entire clan in order to get Hinata, and there would be no human power to stop him.
Hinata would always be in good hands, and her offspring, as bonus points, would be the most powerful generation the clan could dream of in years.
1 month
It was a matter of time, of having patience so that the blond could put his feelings in order and notice the love he had for his daughter,
2 months
Naruto started a relationship with the young Haruno. Something that made the old clan leader a bit mad, not so much because he had been wrong in his predictions, he was more than sure of Naruto's feelings for Hinata, but that situation complicated maintaining Hinata's single status. Until that moment, the elders of the clan had the same hopes as Hyashi of receiving the future Hokage into the family, but with the news of his courtship, those hopes were buried.
He now had no excuse for not looking for a fiancé for Hinata, which annoyed him.
The pressure from the elders was not long in coming, and Hyashi found himself in the painful situation of imposing on his daughter a fiancé selected at the fingertips of the clan's elders. He was surprised by the cold response he received when he notified Hinata about the selection of Hiroki as her fiancé, but he could understand it perfectly, since the day Naruto had started his relationship with the doctor his daughter's heart had been wrapped in a very bitter sadness
And once again Hyashi was only consoling that Hiroki seemed like a good man, and maybe with some effort he could win the affection of his daughter.
But what a fate that those two decided to castrate Hiroki to get out of such a commitment.
Because the pair could think of themselves as smart-ass, leading the rest of the clan to believe that this had all been a training accident, a lie that the entire clan believed completely without question, except for Hyashi. He knew perfectly well the honor and combat style of his daughter, and knew that under no circumstances would she dishonorably attack an opponent during training, so the probability of such an accident was out of the question.
Of course, understanding the reasons for such an action was beyond him, and Hyashi as a loving father (at least in recent years), had decided to let his suspicions go, in favor of Hinata's happiness...
If only the young Uzumaki knew how to tell the difference between being horny and true love!
But it was asking for pears from the elm! How the Hyuga patriarch had wanted to break the blond's hard head, especially when he had started playing Don Juan, making Hinata's depression even more dark.
Finally, all that agony seemed to be about to end, at least that was Hyashi's inner prayer as he saw the eternal love of her daughter face to face.
-Thank you very much for responding to my call so promptly, Hyuga-samma, and by the way, I want to thank all the support the Hyuga clan has provided in fulfilling this mission, and…especially for saving my life- he bowed his head with deep respect. .
-for our family, duty has always been an honor, your thanks, young Naruto, is well received, but it is not necessary.-
-I understand that the fulfillment of such a duty has caused damage to the image of the clan and the fulfillment of other…ahem…commitments-
Hyashi signed for a moment, he was going to enjoy putting the man who had caused Hinata so much grief to agony for a while.
-Yes, certainly we have had some consequences. Mr. Otsuki has declined the engagement with my eldest daughter, alluding to her disobedience to the order he made about her departure to the village of the Moon two days ago-
I'm really sorry, it's all my fault. If the poison hadn't reached me, maybe...-
-in that case the poison would have reached the young Oz, and if by a miracle he had resisted the initial blow of the poison, my daughter's skills would have been required in the same way. Knowing Hinata, and taking into account the close friendship that she maintains with the gentleman, I'm sure that she would have acted in the same way with the young Oz as she has done with you.-
Naruto's face showed a jealous scowl that delighted Hyashi. Who says old people don't know how to have fun?
-Besides, although Hinata has lost a suitor, the young Oz himself has submitted a marriage request that the clan council will see very favorably, so in the end, the situation is not terrible-
A new grimace from Naruto made the Hyuga leader's jubilation extreme. Thank God for the stoic face that so many years of leadership had given him and that prevented Naruto from realizing that he was kidding at that moment, because although the Ronin's proposal had been received just upon his arrival in Suna, it haven't received any answer, considering Hinata's delicate situation.
-It's true, just before receiving the enemy's attack I had the opportunity to hear Mr. Oz ask for Hinata's hand, but…she didn't have time to respond. I suppose..- , he added with a sigh as his hand tangled in his hair in frustration, - that by now she has already accepted such a proposal-
Hyashi decided to stop playing with the boy's heart and cutted his little play.
-The gentleman has not received any response, neither from the clan, nor from Hinata. It is clear his proposal would be considered, as long as a better option does not appear, especially if the interested party is a respectable shinobi like the Kazekage or Mr. Uchiha, who despite his track record could undoubtedly generate extraordinary Hyuga heirs.
-In that case, Hinata's decision doesn't count at all? And if she wants to marry Ronin?-
-Young Naruto, the question you ask me has many nuances. As a father I would like my daughter's happiness at all costs, but as the leader of the Hyuga I must consider that if she chooses to marry a civilian it is practically impossible for her to continue being the heir to the title, her children unfortunately would not have enough skills to continue the strengthening of the genes of the main branch.-
-In that case, Hyuga-samma, let me help you a little to decide on the whole matter-
Despite the fact that the older man's face did not show a hint of astonishment, he internally could not understand the plan that the boy was hatching.
-As you know, there is no longer any scion of the Uzumaki clan that can take my place as bearer for Kurama at the time of my death, which makes me start the search for an heir. I must also tell you that Kurama has a certain affection for your daughter and together we have reached an agreement: inherit Kurama's power to one of Hinata's children. As you can understand, the fact that Kurama himself chooses his container means the future relationship between the two is based on companionship, and that person will have all the power that I currently possess.-
Hyashi's eyes widened and not all the training he had saved him from showing his surprise. For everyone it was taken for granted that upon the death of Naruto the Kyubi would decide to walk free around the world like his other companions. Now to think the bearer of such power would be a Hyuga was a dream from the very beginning of the family, a dream that could come true in Hinata's children.
-However Hyuga-samma we have a condition to make this deal... This heir must be part of the line of succession of the clan's leadership, so by default requires...-
-for Hinata to become my successor- added Hyashi
-no matter who she marries- for a second both men stared into each other's eyes.
-Boy, wouldn't you and the Kyubi want to inherit such power, and by the way, such responsibility to one of your own children?-
Naruto's face lit up with a smile and Hyashi didn't need further explanation.
Finally!
-Hyuga-samma all my life I had kept a single dream: to be Hokague. Now is the time to look beyond my own existence and think about my legacy. I have given you my word that a member of the Hyuga family will be the heir to my power, but nothing would make me happier for that heir to also carry my blood. Therefore, I want to ask you to consider my official request for Hinata's hand in marriage-
-Son, it will be an honor to give you Hinata's hand, I'm sure the council will approve the union immediately-
-Huyga-samma I have one last request, since it is my promise to inherit Kurama even if Hinata marries Ronin, I want to ask you… to allow Hinata to decide who she wants to marry-
