Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Hinata's Secret Life ❯ the house, Kyuubi and the party ( Chapter 20 )

While they were headed to the house to get ready for the party Naruto had begun to lead Hinata to an unfamiliar area. Knowing that they were close to the Uchiha complex, yet in an unknown area Hinata turned to look at Naruto before asking “where are we Naruto?”

 

Smiling with his foxy grin at her he said “I have something to show you Hinata.” As he led her further down the path Naruto began to become more and more excited. Soon Hinata saw a gate with what looked to be a red spiral but in the middle was a fox face. Looking at the symbol closely Hinata was able to see that what appeared to lead out was in face tails. It was the Uzumaki symbol made with what looked like a nine tailed fox.

 

Turning and looking at Naruto's excited face Hinata asked “Naruto what is this place, where are we?”

 

“I figured that my apartment was too small for our family so a few days ago I had some of the new Genin's make it ready. We can move in at anytime, if you want that is.” Naruto said hurriedly scared that he had upset Hinata.

 

“You are pretty sure of your self aren't you Uzumaki” Hinata said trying to be serious and not laugh but the faltering expression on Naruto's face was making it hard no to “and what would have happened if I didn't want to marry you or be with you? Then what would you have done?”

 

Realizing that Hinata was picking on him he said “lucky for me I don't have to know then do I”. He said pulling her close before whispering “seriously I would be dead without you, and I almost lost home many times. I never want to feel that again.” Kissing her on the forehead they headed back to the Uchiha compound to drop of Hinata to get ready for the party. After agreeing to meet the group at the party Naruto went home to think about some things and have a talk with Kyuubi.

 

 

After taking a shower and getting dressed Naruto sat down on his couch and decided to have his much needed talk with Kyuubi.

 

“Hey Kyuubi you there?”

 

`What do you want?”

 

“Do you know what that mark was on Hinata's hip was? If I didn't know better I would say it looked like a little fox print.”

 

“That's because it is. It shows to everyone both in your realm and the demon realm that she is your mate. Both of them have it.'

 

`Both of them you mean Ramen has one too?'

 

`Of course, it shows that he is your kit and gives them certain protection they would normally not have'

 

`What kind of protection could it give them that they didn't already have?'

 

`Both of them have access to my chakra now not just you. It isn't as noticeable yet, at least in Hinata but they both heal rapidly now. Not as fast as you mind you but that will change soon.'

 

`What do you mean it will change soon, what is going to happen to them Kyuubi?'

 

`What did I say would happen to you once you finished absorbing my chakra?”

 

`You said that I would be considered the new Kyuubi”

 

“Right making you a full fledge demon instead of just the vessel of one, when the conversion is complete any kits you have will become half-demons, including your mate”

 

`I don't want them to go through what I had to endure growing up. Is there any way to stop the process?'

 

`No there's not, but if it makes you feel better you won't be able to tell by looking at them or anything. Also most of the older people thought you were a demon child to begin with, so naturally they think your kit is. Now you both will really be considered it. Now leave me alone brat, and let me die in piece. Be prepared the next few nights will be rough on you and it will be harder to contact me. So I had better say this now kit, make me proud and protect our family.'

 

`Incase I don't talk to you again Kyuubi, thank you for protecting me all these years'

 

Opening his eyes Naruto felt a small tear release from his eye. Quickly wiping it away Naruto got up and made his way to the party. Taking in the sights, sounds and smells he found that he was able to sense these things from people down the road from him. Trying to tune out the sounds of the villagers talking Naruto made his way into the club only to see that most of the group was already there.

 

“Hey Naruto over here” Naruto heard turning to look at who had spoken seeing Ino sitting on Chouji's lap. Making his way over there Ino asked “Naruto do you know why Shino asked all of us here? I heard it's for the results of the testing today but there has to be more to it.”

 

“You will find out when everyone else does also ok Ino” Naruto said, but before he could say more Shuri and Shino had walked in.

 

Looking around Shuri ran up to Naruto and said “Mr. Uzumaki-san where is Ramen?”

“Ahh Shuri” Naruto said talking to the little girl “you don't have to call me Mr. Uzumaki-san, just Naruto will be fine. Ramen should be here anytime he is coming with his mother.” Feeling the presence of his family Naruto looked to Shuri and said with a smile “in fact they will be walking in any moment now.” He said as he pointed towards the entrance and none other then Ramen Uzumaki came in the door first.

 

Looking around he quickly saw a few faces he had seen before locating who he was looking for “Daddy, Shuri-Chan you're here.” Ramen said running to Naruto and Shuri. Hearing that someone called Naruto daddy some of the group began muttering among themselves for some didn't know about Ramen. Ino figuring out what was going on was glad for once she kept quite about this little secret.

 

Moments later Hinata and Temari walked in instantly blinded from being outside. Moments later their eyes adjusted and they heard Ramen yelling “Mommy, Aunt Temari we're over here”. The girls made there way over there but before they could get too far they were stopped by a loud voice “Hinata is that you?”

 

Hinata turning to look at who had spoken turned and seen Kiba sitting with a pretty woman holding a three year old. Seeing the familiar red triangles on the child's face Hinata knew instantly it was his child. “Hi Kiba, long time no see.”

 

Gaara and Sasuke had made their way into the group not long after this. Malina and Yuki had decided to stay home tonight after hearing a message that Itachi was on his way home. Looking at her friends Hinata was able to see the changes that happened to their group.

 

Ino had gotten taller and her hair was shorter then what Hinata remembered and she was sitting on no other then Chouji's lap. Chouji had appeared to have gotten bigger yet he didn't look fat just muscular. His spirals on his cheeks, a darker red making it more stand out, and his hair was longer no longer looking like little tuffs on the side of his head.

 

Having seen some of the other members before she wasn't too surprised about the changes that had happen to them. Shikamaru was standing next to the karaoke machine leaning on it like his life depended on it. Neji was off in the corner talking to TenTen but both nodded to Hinata who nodded back. Shino was standing talking to Naruto while both Ramen and Shuri were playing a card game with Gaara and Temari. Kakashi was talking to Kurenai, her old teacher and Anko about the new students.

 

A little boy in a green jumpsuit, and orange leg warmers, looking like he was six made his way over to play with Shuri and Ramen while his parents came to introduce themselves. The man in front of her was wearing a matching green jumpsuit as the little boy that just passed her complete with a bowl hair cut and bushy eyebrows. Hinata knew instantly who it was. “Rock Lee it's been a while how are you?” Hinata asked pleasantly but also hoping he wasn't about to go off on the `SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH' as it was called.

 

“Ahh Hinata-sama I am pleased to know that you still remember me. This is my wife Kaede, and the little boy who passed you is my son Daiki.” Rock Lee said in an actually calm and pleasant voice. Hinata turning to look at the woman who she figured must be near Buddha to marry Lee and was surprised by what she had seen. Kaede was definitely the woman for Lee, Hinata decided taking in her looks. Kaede had her hair short in a similar fashion to how Hinata use to wear hers, but was in a dark green shirt with green ninja pants that matched. She may not have been wearing the jump suit but she was close, and for that Hinata was thankful.

 

“Hi nice to meet you” Hinata said sincerely “I'm Hinata, just plain Hinata.” Before she could say more though she felt Naruto's arms wrap around her waist before telling her “Hinata you've never been plain in your life and trust me Hinata Uzumaki you will never be plain.”

 

Looking at Naruto, Hinata said “I'm not an Uzumaki yet, you know” with a scowl on her face.

 

“Hinata you've been an Uzumaki the day you left here on your mission, you just didn't realize it yet.” Putting his hand out to Lee, Naruto said “Lee, Kaede it's good to see you again. I can see Daiki is playing well with my boy Ramen and Shuri, glad to see you brought him along.”

 

Lee looking over to see his son playing cards with a girl he could only make out as Shuri and a little boy who looked like a younger version of Naruto playing cards with Shino, Gaara and Sasuke, Temari was making her way to Shikamaru. Turning back to look at Naruto, Lee got a big smile on his face and said “they shall enjoy the SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH TOG..umph” Lee stopped as his wife hit him on the back of the head. Lee seeing the look his wife gave him said “sorry dear, I forgot no yelling indoors. To make up for it I shall fun around Konoha five hundred times, and if I can't do that I will..umph” Lee went as his wife hit him on the head again.

 

Turning to look at Lee, Kaede said “Honey I think Gai-sensai is back why don't you go check?” with in second Lee was out the door and turned and smiled at Hinata and Naruto “sorry about that. He's gotten a lot better over the years but he still has his moments of excitability. It was nice to see you again Captain, Hinata, it's nice to meet you. I'm glad there are other kids around Daiki's age to play with now. Unfortunately most kids see the green jumpsuit and energy and run, it will be good to see him actually playing with kids instead of training all the time.”

 

“Kaede” Hinata said “Daiki looks old enough why hasn't he try out to be in the academy? Knowing his father I'm sure he's able to pass any test.”

 

“He is in the academy” Kaede said “He will begin the final year this year even though he will be turning seven. He was lucky though because he can use chakra while Lee cannot. We're just glad he can even fight for if he couldn't that would certainly destroy him.”

 

“Kaede” Hinata said “I know I have no right to ask this and I don't want to get your hopes up but I've been working as a doctor for the past seven years and I would love to check and see if there is anything I can do to help Lee about his chakra issues.”

 

“Hinata” Kaede said “that would be wonderful. I will tell him not to get his hopes up but if you can do anything that will be great. I will send him in on Monday.”

 

“How about Tuesday” Hinata asked “I don't work on Monday because we are throwing Ramen a surprise birthday party and I would love for you guys to come.”

 

“We would love to be there.” Kaede said sincerely “I had better go and check on Daiki, I will get the info from you later ok.” Kaede said as she went to go and check on the kids playing goldfish.

 

“So Captain, my captain” Hinata said with a smile “when do you think we will get the results for the testing?”

 

“Tsunade should be here at anytime to give the results, but I'm more worried about when the Hyuuga representative shows up. In case you haven't noticed the parents of the kids who competed today are here. The only one I can see being missing is a Hyuuga.”

 

Looking around Hinata was able to see that Naruto was in fact correct, most of the people there was parents of the participants. Feeling a dark brooding of killer intent aimed at her, Hinata looked to see a group of woman in standard Jounin and Chounin outfits giving her a death stare. “So who are those women?” Hinata said with a nod to of head in the direction of the stares “and why are they giving me death stares?”

 

Following Hinata's nod Naruto turned to look at the group and winced. “Those are my fan girls, unfortunately. Ever since the truth about my father came out they have been chasing me around. I never encouraged their actions, but that never stopped them from following me around.” Kissing Hinata on the head Naruto said “Maybe now that everyone knows I'm with you they will finally layoff.”

 

“I hope so because I don't share” Hinata said confidently. “I had to share you when we were younger and now that I have you. You're all mine.”

 

“Grandma you're here” said an enthusiastic Ramen running to Tsunade before leaping into her arms. “Are you going to tell us how we did at the tournament?”

 

Setting Ramen down Tsunade said “down boy, how about you come over tomorrow to spend the day with me alright.” Handing Shikamaru a scroll Tsunade addressed the crowd. “Thank you for being here ladies and gentlemen. In a moment Shikamaru will read the results of the tournament. I feel very secure in knowing that Konoha's future is in good hands. Now please excuse me.” Tsunade said as she began heading to the door but not before handing Naruto a smaller scroll “you can complete this in the morning as you drop of Ramen. Eight o'clock don't be late” she said softly so not to alert everyone, then walked out into the night sky.

 

Shikamaru muttered `troublesome' under his breathe before walking up to the microphone. Going in order of class placement people started to leave after finding out where the kids were located. Nearing the end Naruto and Hinata started to get nervous until Shikamaru said “finally in class eleven we have Shuri Aburame, Hiro Hyuuga and Ramen Uzumaki. These are the placements we expect to see you in class on Monday.” After everyone else had left seeing all of his friends there that mattered to him Shikamaru said into the microphone “Seeing as we are all friends here I want you all to be here for this troublesome event.” Turning and looking at Temari, Shikamaru got down on one knee and said “Temari I love you, marry me. I already have permission from your brother and our different villages issue taken care of. Now I just need is you. Marry me and put this troublesome man out of his misery.”

 

Temari stood there in shock looking at Shikamaru before her brain started to piece together everything he was saying. He had gotten permission from Gaara, which means he no longer objected. He found a way they could be together from being from two different villages, and after all the trouble and heartache they been through. He still wanted to be with her. Temari did the only thing she could she said “yes” before tears were streaming down her face. Tonight just couldn't get any better for her.
