I do not own Naruto...and I have been working on changing the name from Arashi to Minato. I have succeeded on two sites where this is posted.
Chapter 77
Konoha Village
The following day...
Naruto sighed sadly as he stood with Hinata looking at him longingly as Ayeka clutched his arm. Only yesterday, the two had fussed over him, and he had been able to feel Hinata's soft hands and warmth envelop his senses.
Even Kyuubi had all but howled when he had come to and Hinata had left him. Leaving only her scent that had long since dissipated. But because of what happened last night, well other things were being put into play.
Thinking of things that to be honest annoy Naruto as well as his siblings. Their ANBU guards were allowed to become visible. Although they would not be there from what he understands during the actual exams, for the three Namikaze children. Minato still had Wolf, as Naruto had Hawk, Umiko had Tiger.
Therefore the Fourth needed two more guards for Sasuke and Sasami. The former Uchiha would get Eagle; her tenaciousness was highly reminiscent of Naruto when he was younger and more of a prankster then a ninja. She would be able to keep up with Sasuke and his pace easily.
And for Sasami, she had Bear. A big barrel chested man, thought by size alone to be a possible Akimichi, he was a gentle albeit deadly giant. Who could keep up with the little girl, and answer her questions with kindness rather then silence.
That settled, the two new ANBU guards for the Namikaze family had vanished to go find their charges at the home. The Yamanaka and Kakashi already aware of the two others coming to be their guards, quietly greets them as Sasuke scowls compared to Sasami's giggles.
In the meantime as Naruto is sent away by his father to go and return to training with Yamato, he turns to look at Ayeka and Hinata with a gaze of concern. Hiashi not able to make his meeting because of another he had to attend to. Hinata would stand in his place as the heiress of the Hyuuga clan.
“Ayeka, what can you tell me about the trustworthiness of your villages three jounin here?”
Startled by this question, as normally this would be handled by her father, the young woman is about to say so, but is silenced as Minato begins to explain. Sitting down as with every word spoken, she can understand his need to come to her and rather then her father. The young woman looks thoughtful...
The Hyuuga head doesn't trust her father?
Well, she really can't blame that for happening, Ayeka thought ruefully. Not many people do, they cater to him mostly because he is indeed powerful. Her father is one of the main reasons; she believes that her sister married outside the clan...outside the village if all possible.
“They are good men Yondaime-sama” Ayeka said softly.
“What are their strengths?”
“Sir, I do not know you would have to ask them. I just know that they are good men. They treat their genins with care and respect like a father would their own children, from what I have observed.” She responds as she looks over at the Hyuuga heiress. The pale eyed girl looking away with a mixture of hatred and remorse at her. Ayeka can tell that this girl normally does not have a bone to hate within her body.
Well who could blame her for hating her rival?
“I understand...” The older man stated quietly as he summoned forth Shikamaru who had already gotten the three Cloud ninja leaders. “Hinata hear knows of what I am about to tell you Ayeka and so does Shikamaru. I would ask that you do tell your father or your jounins if you agree to allow me to speak with them for a moment.”
Confused, Ayeka nods her head. Although her father was in charge of the journey here, the jounins more or less listened to her anyway. Their admiration of her kind heart and gentleness was profound as she had also stood up to them twice during the journey to discipline their errant students.
She was someone who albeit not a fighter was one by nature and temperament. She stood by what she believed in. So as Minato told her of his past and the attempts to already come after him and his family by many an assassin from various villages. Ayeka understood why he wanted to speak with her village's jounin.
Giving her consent, the three were allowed to come in. The situation explained to them by not just Ayeka, but by Minato. The three ninja understood and were willing to work with Shikamaru in protecting the teams and their leader's grandchildren.
Despite being adopted, they had been thrilled to learn that although Naruto was his by blood, that the Raikage could add two more grandchildren to the list. Sasuke was the other boy and a former Uchiha to boot. Already they can tell that despite the reputation for fighting amongst themselves often. The two were balanced out by the little girl who seemed to examine them with a practiced eye and cluck in disapproval like a proper sister would.
Therefore Akira Takedo, Naoe Mitsuki, and Shang Miyagi became the newest members of the Konoha exam security force along with Sand and Leaf ninjas. Their sole mission was to make sure the Chuunin exams went off without a hitch and that the only deaths... were the enemies own.
So as Ayeka left Shikamaru alone with Minato and the Leaf ninja, she exited the room only to find herself face to face with the dark haired Hyuuga girl.
“Why?” Hinata asked softly. “Why did you have to come now? I just got him to see me...to see that I was there!”
“I'm sorry...” Ayeka said gently. Not really able to say anything else, the young woman just looked at her rival with a genuine sorrow, which Hinata could tell was heartfelt and truly meant. Turning around, the young woman said a few more things...
“I will fight for him you know...” Hinata said quietly and much to Ayeka's surprise.
“I know. I would expect nothing less.” The Cloud Lady said warmly.
“Promise me...promise that if lose to you...that...that you will take care of him?”
“I promise.” The red headed girl responded with a true feeling of emotion in her tone. One that convinces the Hyuuga girl as she sets off to find her blonde, that after all this that maybe...maybe the two of them can become friends.
Namikaze Compound
“Sasuke Namikaze you are the most stubborn pig headed emotionless teme this side of the Fire Country!”Shouted an irate blonde named Ino Yamanaka. Having come with her father, to help train Sasami in mind jutsus, Ino was happy to see her new found boyfriend.
Unaware of the small gathering of ninja, consisting of Naruto and his sister, as well as their trainers and ANBU guards; the Uzamaki siblings had gotten comfortable to watch the entertainment value. Ever since Naruto and Sakura had stopped their playful fighting of sorts, the fights between Ino and Sasuke had only stepped up.
He often called her a loud mouth brash bimbo...
She calling him...well you saw.
“Look Ino, you are not going there and that's final!”His dark eyes flashing blue for a moment, nobody notices, but all are way now.
“Final my ass!”The blonde stated as she strode toward him. Her long blonde hair swinging in the breeze, Sasuke is hard pressed not to give into something else. What is it with him and picking blondes to fight with?
“Five bucks says he kisses her and she slaps him.” Naruto whispers to Kakashi.
“That's a sucker bet.” The ninja responds. “I say ten bucks she knees him first and then kisses him.”
“You're on!”
Bets are flying around Sasami just shakes her head as she continues watching the fight between her newfound big brother and what she already hopes, a big sister in the blonde girl. She has grown to love her sensei Iniochi and his clan. They had helped her grow and also to understand that she could still have her restaurant and be a ninja along with her family at the same time as they have done with the flower shop.
“I bet you guys paying for their first official date, that not only do they kiss, but big brother tells her I love you.” Sasami said knowingly.
“You're on!”
As the fight continues, suddenly Sasuke's expression takes on one that Naruto knows quite well from his memories. It was the same one that e had been given, when his brother in spirit and now blood had asked him a certain question.
“Why? Why do you go so far for me Ino? Why won't you let me be me...?”
“Because I love you, you idiot! I won't let you turn into the old Sasuke again! I won't let you turn into that emotionless ass that you were when we were kids! I won't let all that hard work Naruto, and the others did to bring you back to us to go to waste!”
Something within her words caused the youth to look at her with an expression of surprise and of understanding in his features. Gathering the courage to do something he has wanted to do for a while. Sasuke just strides up to her before anyone thinks twice and proceeds to kiss the blonde senseless.
Soft and warm...Sasuke just savors the feel of her underneath his lips. Her mouth opening he nips at her lower lip before diving into tasting Ino even more.
Sweet was the only way to describe it.
As the others watch this happening, Iniochi admittedly was fighting the urge to go and break them up. After all she was his daughter, but he also knows his wife and if she found wind of him doing that to their child.
Well he kind of values certain parts of his anatomy thank you very much...his wife was after all Shikamaru's mother's sister and the two were quite close. Watching as they finally part away, with the others they observe as the blonde is looking up with blue eyes into deep black ones...
“I love you to...” Sasuke worded softly.
Giggling, Sasami looks at the others with a smirk. Getting up, the little girl runs over to her dark haired brother and whispers what had happened in his hear. The former Uchiha looks murderous, as he starts walking. Naruto and Kakashi recognizing that look starts to flee into the woods with Sasuke on their tails as Sasami whispers the same into Ino's ear.
The blonde's blue eyes narrowing, Ino just approaches her daddy and smiles.
“I'm telling Mom.”
“But Ino...” Iniochi pleads as his daughter strides away with a dark and yet flushed look. But the blonde pauses in mid step...
“By the way I will make sure Sasuke takes me to the MOST expensive place in town!”
The others groan in pain as their pocketbooks feel the lightness that is coming...
