(Guest chapter 1 . May 6

why even entertain Sakura ? It's none of her business what Naruto's doing with his life. She has a husband now, bully him and leave other people alone ffs.)

I just figured that's how she would react to it. But you do make a valid point, it really isn't any of her business.

(Guest chapter 1 . May 6

I like it very much)

Thanks I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far.

Naruto, Hinata and Hanabi nervously returned to the Hyuuga compound. They feared what this conversation with Hiashi would bring, because they knew it would involve the fate both of Hanabi and her unborn child. Whatever happened Naruto was determined to protect one of the women he loved and the child she was carrying.

They went to Hiashi's chamber and found Hiashi waiting for them.

"Hinata, Hanabi, Naruto thank you for coming. Please have a seat," gestured Hiashi.

They all took a seat in front of him. His calm demeanour made them nervous, especially considering how angry he had been the day before.

"Before we begin, I just want to apologise for my outburst the day before," stated Hiashi.

"It's alright Father, we had a feeling the news would come as a shock," said Hinata.

"Indeed, but regardless my behaviour was inexcusable, and I apologise for that," Hiashi reiterated by bowing. "Now let's get to the point. I'm sure you know why I've called the three of you here?"

"Does it have to do with Hanabi and her baby?" asked Naruto.

"Yes," sighed Hiashi. "The three of you have caused a lot of trouble for me, as I arguably have no legitimate heir to take over as head of the Hyuuga Clan. With Hinata marrying outside the clan and taking her husband's surname, she has forfeited any right she has to being clan leader, which also extends to her son Boruto. As for Hanabi, she has become pregnant out of wedlock from entering a… less than traditional relationship."

"What does that mean for me?" asked Hanabi.

Hiashi took a breath before answering. It was clear he didn't like what he had to tell them.

"Normally it would result in your banishment from the clan, along with the branding of the Caged Bird Seal," stated Hiashi.

"In other words, she can no longer be heir to the Hyuuga Clan?" asked Naruto.

"Indeed, in situations like this, we would normally pass clan leadership to the next in line. Sadly, that is no longer possible," stated Hiashi.

They all bowed their heads in sadness as they remembered the passing of Neji, Hinata's cousin who had given his life to save Hinata and Naruto's in the recent war.

"I noticed you said this is what you would normally do. Is there an alternative in this case?" asked Hinata.

"There is, but you're not going to like it. I've talked to the clan elders and they've agreed to have Hanabi reinstated as heir, provided she agrees to the following conditions. She is to leave her relationship with Naruto, return home and her child is to be raised as a Hyuuga. The child will never know its father and the child will eventually become a part of the branch family!" explained Hiashi.

"The Branch Family, but if I'm to be reinstated as heir shouldn't my child be the one next in line for leadership. Will my child even know I'm its mother?" asked Hanabi.

"Unfortunately, your child becoming clan heir isn't possible. Due to the illegitimacy of its conception, it would be dishonourable to name it clan heir. Furthermore, as your child will only be half Hyuuga we can't guarantee it will inherit the Byakugan, further damaging its legitimacy as clan heir," stated Hiashi. "As for your other question, your child will be allowed to know you are their mother and you will be permitted to be a part of your child's life. But it will never be in the main family, only the branch family. To make up for what you've done, you will be allocated an acceptable partner within the clan, through whom you will produce legitimate heirs. This is the only option I can offer Hanabi I recommend you take it."

Hanabi looked like she could nearly cry.

"I can't do that father, I can't befall my child to the same fate as Neji, because I know it'll eventually grow to hate me. Also I don't want to leave Naruto, I love him. And how can you expect me to raise my child and not let them know who their father is?"

"Then I'm afraid you are to be banished from the clan and branded with the Cadged Bird Seal," stated Hiashi.

"Hold on," interjected Hinata. "Before you do anything to Hanabi I have a question. I've given up my rights to the clan and I wasn't branded with the Cadged Bird Seal. Did taking Naruto's surname prevent this from happening?"

"Yes, by marrying Naruto and taking his surname, we lost any right we had to use the Cadged Bird Seal on you," answered Hiashi.

"Does that mean Hanabi would be safe from the seal if she took my surname?" asked Naruto.

"Yes, if Hanabi were to take your surname, she would be protected from getting the seal. Unfortunately, you'd have to make sure she's protected until you are able to do so, because once the clan elders hear that she has denied returning, the clan will want her brought back and branded immediately," stated Hiashi.

"Then we'll just have to make sure she's protected until we can change her name," stated Naruto before turning to Hanabi. "Provided that's what you want, I wouldn't ask you to do anything you didn't want to do."

Hanabi embraced Naruto.

"If it means I get to stay with you and our child is protected, I'll do whatever I have to," she cried.

"Then its settled. Lord Hiashi, we're leaving, don't try and stop us because as strong as you are we both know I'm stronger and I'll do whatever I have to protect both Hinata and Hanabi," declared Naruto.

"I am not going to try and stop you. I have caused my children enough pain, I am not going to be the cause of anymore. If being with you is what Hanabi wants then I'll accept it," stated Hiashi. "Go, I'll tell them you needed time to think about your decision."

"Thank you, father," said Hanabi,

The three of them got up to leave, but Hiashi had one more thing to say. "Naruto take care of my daughters."

"I will I promise," declared Naruto and the trio left.

After they had gone Hiashi couldn't help but sigh at the whole situation.

"Naruto what is it about you that allowed you to capture the heart of not one, but both of my daughters?"

After leaving they immediately headed to the Hokage's office to tell Kakashi about the situation. Kakashi was once again annoyed by this, but nevertheless agreed to help Naruto in any way he could. Not only did he help them in getting Hanabi's name changed, but he also agreed to help protect her until they were able to do so. Naruto and Hinata were immediately given time off to help guard Hanabi around the clock and any available Shinobi would be assigned for additional security.

Because of this, word quickly spread about Naruto's relationship with the Hyuuga sisters. Opinions differed greatly on this. Sakura's best friend Ino had a similar opinion to Sakura, accusing Naruto of being a disgusting pervert who had betrayed Hinata. Thankfully, she calmed down once she heard Hinata's side of the story. Ino's husband Sai on the other hand was impressed by Naruto's ability to have two romantic partners, as this wasn't anything like the traditional relationships he had read about.

Hinata's old teammates and teacher were initially sceptical, but when they heard that Hinata had been the one to invite Hanabi into the relationship they, accepted it for what it was. Naruto's friend Shikamaru mainly asked why Naruto would want two partners' considering how troublesome one could be. This led to Shikamaru getting hit over the head by his own wife Temari. Shikamaru's teammate Choji didn't seem particularly bothered by the relationship and simply congratulated them when he saw them. Finally, Tenten who was the former teammate of Neji and Lee had similar suspicions as Sakura and Ino, but didn't argue about it when she heard the full story.

Within a month, they were able to successfully change Hanabi's name and she was able to leave the trio's home as Hanabi Uzumaki, a free woman.

From here the trio were able to walk around the village carefree. As suspected, they could see a lot of people staring at them and whispering about their relationship, which only worsened after Hanabi began to show. They didn't pay it any mind however, because in their eyes they were a loving family, who would support each other until their dying days.

Nine months passed and eventually Hanabi found herself in the hospital holding a beautiful baby girl in her arms. She had her mother's brown hair and white eyes, but had many features of Naruto, most noticeably a few of his trademark whiskers.

Many people had come and gone to see the baby, but Naruto and Hinata hadn't left Hanabi's side since she had given birth. This baby was the newest member of their family, and they weren't going to leave Hanabi's side until she was ready to come home. And even though this baby was technically Hinata's stepdaughter/niece, Hinata had promised to love the girl as if she was her own. Hanabi had agreed to do the same for Hinata's son Boruto.

Eventually the trio were greeted by an unexpected visitor, as Hiashi entered the room.

"Father?" asked Hanabi surprised.

"Hello, Hanabi are you doing well?" asked Hiashi.

"Still a little tired, but I'm powering through," answered Hanabi.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. I hope its ok that I'm here?" queried Hiashi.

"Of course it is. Regardless of what's happened, you're still my father and that's never going to change," stated Hanabi.

Hiashi's eyes focused on the child in Hanabi's arms.

"Is that your child?" asked Hiashi.

"Yes. Father, meet your granddaughter. Natsuko," announced Hanabi.

"Natsuko Uzumaki?" questioned Hiashi.

"Yes father, I hope that's ok," stated Hanabi.

"It is your right to give her whatever name you please and honestly, I should not have expected anything else," admitted Hiashi.

"Would you like to hold her?" offered Hanabi.

"You trust me to hold her?" asked Hiashi.

"Of course I do. If you were gonna run off with my child you would have tried to force me to stay behind after we told you I was pregnant," stated Hanabi.

"That is correct. And despite the issues the three of you have caused for the Hyuuga Clan, I still wish to be a part of your lives, and nothing would make me happier then to be a part of my grand children's lives," admitted Hiashi.

"And believe me father that would also make us happy," interjected Hinata.

"Now would you like to hold her?" offered Hanabi again.

"I would love to," answered Hiashi.

Hanabi placed the girl in her father's arms and even the usually strict Hiashi couldn't help, but smile upon holding his granddaughter for the first time. He'd had the same smile on his face when he had held Boruto for the first time. Despite the anger he had presented upon initially hearing the news of Hanabi's pregnancy, they had a feeling that Hiashi would be a loving grandfather to his grandchildren and would greatly soften as the years went on.

Years passed and the trio continued to live as a happy family. Although, Hanabi could never legally become Naruto's wife like Hinata had, he always referred to her as such and even presented her with a wedding band that was identical to the ones worn by Hinata and Naruto to help show she was an equal part of their relationship. Other villagers continued to judge them throughout the years, but it calmed down eventually as they knew there was nothing, they could do to change the situation.

It took a little longer than anticipated, but eventually Naruto became the 7th Hokage of the Leaf Village. A few were still hesitant to give him the position, given his untraditional relationship, but Kakashi was eventually able to convince the other village leaders, that Naruto's actions to protect Hanabi from harm was proof that Naruto would go above and beyond to protect those he cared about. An attitude he'd constantly shown throughout his years of service to the leave village and one he would continue to show if he was granted the position of the Hokage.

Naruto's duties as Hokage, meant he couldn't see his family as much as he would like to. Thankfully, as the more outgoing of the sisters, Hanabi was able to convince him to come home when he was spending too much time at the office. This allowed Naruto to continue to have a relationship with his children, while simultaneously fulfilling his duties as Hokage.

Boruto and Natsuko grew to be very close over the years, doing nearly everything together, viewing each other not only as siblings, but best friends.

Things wouldn't always be easy for the siblings over the years however, as many believed Boruto would merely ride on the coat tails of his father's success. Things were worse for Natsuko however, as many still saw her as nothing more than Naruto's illegitimate child.

Thanks for reading, please leave a review and tell me what you think. All feedback is greatly appreciated. I was originally going to wait a little longer before releasing this chapter, but I decided to release so I could help set the stage for what's to come. Like I said this story will be an alternate universe of Boruto and the next chapter will take place at the beginning of the Boruto anime. I'm going to take a little more time for that so I can figure out how this change will affect the story.

The character of Natsuko Uzumaki belongs to Mattwilson83 and this is again inspired by his story 'A Sister's Love'.
