Author's Note: I don't own Naruto.
Chapter I
Silly!
In Konoha, there was a rule that all boys followed. They were taken from their homes and placed into this camp that was their permanent home until they were taken away by either a girl or death. Essentially, all these guys were slaves that killed until they were married off to a woman choosing them or their untimely demise. The only boys who were spared such a fate were the boys from noble clans.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't fit this requirement and was sent to the camp.
It would've been better if it weren't for the camp's leader, Danzo, not giving him the hardest missions that meant certain death for Naruto and not letting him out into the courtyard when a young woman would appear to find herself a husband.
But Naruto made it work and had the dream of becoming a Hokage one day. That may have been one reason why Danzo was trying to have Naruto killed so much. It made sense since all Danzo did to Naruto was malnourish him, beat him, torture him, and never give the young man rest.
That all changed one day for Naruto though. It turned out that a prestigious clan's daughter was coming to the camp to find herself a husband. It seemed that the man she was supposed to marry had passed away and the only other option was the camp.
Danzo had everybody but Naruto brought out and stood in a line. At the front of the line were two people Danzo thought she would like. A dark haired boy named Sasuke and another boy named Sai.
When the clan came to the camp. The boys had to stare in awe of her. The girl was a head spinner for sure. Her entire body seemed to portray a perfect level of beauty and innocence. Her eyes were warm despite their gray appearance. And her skin was smooth as glass.
"This Lord Hiashi is Sasuke Uchiha. He's one of our best ninja and can do the hardest of tasks." Danzo said as he showed Hiashi and Hinata Sasuke. Sasuke stood there proud as ever. 'How can she not pick me?' He thought to himself. "Not him father." Hinata said without hesitation.
This caught the boys off guard. 'She really just rejected the most powerful boy here?' They thought in unison. The line continued down and every single time, Hinata said "He's not it" or "not him."
Eventually, they went through every boy except Naruto. "Hinata you keep saying that none of are the one you want. You have to choose between these boys that's all they have." Hiashi told his daughter. Hinata however looked towards a building. "There's still one more person that he hasn't shown...his chakra is low though. I must act fast!" Hinata said as she took off towards the building.
"DON'T LET HER IN THERE! THERE'S A VERY BAD THING!" Danzo screamed as Hiashi also took off after his daughter. When he got to where his daughter was, he stopped. There in a cell was a blonde headed boy who was clearly just tortured.
His muscles didn't hide his bones due to his extreme malnutrition. The look in his eyes told everyone just how he was being treated. Yet just how determined he was to keep going.
Hinata knew what her decision was when she first laid her eyes on him. She grabbed his weak frame and pulled him closer to herself.
Poor Naruto was too malnourished to understand what was happening. His vision blurred and the last thing he remembered was some man turning to shout at Danzo while an angel held him in her arms as he passed out.
Naruto didn't know how long he was out. But man he was comfortable at the moment. It felt like he could sleep like this forever. But all dreams must end.
He opened his eyes slowly. The light almost instantly blinded him causing him to cringe with the glare. Why did it have to be so bright? Naruto thought as he sat up straight.
He opened his eyes and they adjusted themselves to the light of the room. It was a lot bigger than the cell he used to call home since forever. He looked down at where he was last inflicted by that terrible whip Danzo had hidden away on his robe.
The scars were gone thanks to the Kyuubi inside him. But that didn't mean it still didn't hurt like hell.
"O-Oh y-you're awake!" A female's voice said. Naruto quickly turned to see the angel that held him before he blacked out. Only his mind perceived her differently.
Naruto immediately jumped back and pressed his body into a corner of the room. His arms outstretched to protect himself from harm. "PLEASE DON'T TORTURE ME!" He shouted.
Hinata wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from her husband so she flinched slightly. "It's ok I'm not here to hurt you dear." She said in a soothing voice.
Naruto froze for a minute and looked at her confused. "Did you just call me 'dear'?" Naruto asked as he squinted one eye at Hinata. Poor Hinata blushed a little but she managed to compose herself. "I-I did." She stuttered.
Naruto was beyond confused about what was going on. "Who are you?" Naruto asked seriously. Hinata suddenly couldn't contain herself anymore and suddenly started to laugh out loud. Her laugh was like music over field of violets to Naruto. But this didn't prepare him for the shock of a lifetime he was about to get. "Silly, I'm Hinata Uzumaki. I'm your wife."
Naruto's eyes bulged out of their sockets and he fell to the floor unconscious yet again.
