My first naruhina. I hope you would enjoy it. I try to keep everyone in character, Tsunade might look a little bit OOC now but later she will be herself more.
Disclaim: If I have a lot of money I will buy and own Naruto, but I don't. You know what it means, right? :)
The village of Konoha lies peacefully under the sun, too peacefully in fact. A small wind softly blows the sunshine hair away giving the young man a feeling of contentment and happiness. Here he is, in his beloved village around with his loyalty comrades, his faithful friends. He is the man of good fortune, indeed, despised many bad things that had happened, he has full filled his promises, protected people that he cared about, and gained the recognition and love that he is deserved. But what is this ominous feeling that suddenly begins to form in his stomach? He has a very bad feeling of what is going to happen as he approaches the Hokage Tower. In fact, he doesn't remember anything good had ever come out in the Hokage office. Sigh lightly, he pushes the door open.
"You are late, what is taking you so long? Show some respects to your elders, you know."
That's odd. Bachan must up to something, she usually ignores his lateness, and he is not even that late, not that he is ever late for any important meeting. No actually, he is never late (that explains why she never complains about his lateness before). Looking at the watch, he is like 2 minutes late. That usually is not even a problem, consider his contributions to the village. Hold on a second, for some reasons bachan looks very tense, like she prepares to do something really big. Hope not another S-rank mission, he is tired to death.
"Good morning bachan. What are you up to? I hope not another S-rank mission, uh. You know, it is kind of against the village moral codes to work its shinobis to death, dattebayo. I had like 20 S-rank missions continuously within this month. I don't even stay in the village literally for 3 months".
He suddenly stops his ramblings as bachan waving a piece of paper in a lazy manner. Oh crap, could he ever able to get out of this mess?
"Any complain, kid?"
"No, no, absolutely not, Tsunade-sama. All I asking is a little vacation, just three day"
"Huh"
"No, what I mean is one day. No, half day. Ok, three hours is fine. I just want to have ramen with Iruka sensei"
"Oh, Naruto, if you want to stay in the village you just need to ask so. Acutally, I have a little mission that is prefect to you. No, don't worry kid, you can do it in the village, and spend some time with your friends"
"Yata. I don't know you could be so understandable sometimes, bachan. Let's see, I want to have ramen to Iruka sensei, asking Sakura-chan to another date, having a barbecue with the group. I can't wait to see Choiji face with how much meat we have. Having a sparring match with Neji, Kiba, Lee, and Sasuke".
His high spririt suddenly drops dramatically. Talking about that, it has been a long time since he last checked on Sasuke. How he has been? It has been two years, surely he would have gotten used to the life of the village right? No, he has been thinking too much, last time that he checked, Sasuke was in a much better condition. At this time, when he has much calmed down from his excitement, he notices an evil smile from bachan which gives him a chill. Looking at Shizune, she forcefully smiles at him, a smile that signals him that bachan is going to do something very very stupid, and he is gonna be a part of it.
"Drop the act, bachan. What do you want from me? I am not gonna be another spawn on one of your stupid plans anymore. For your information..."
"FOR YOUR INFORMATION, NARUTO. LOOK AT THIS, I HOPE YOU REMEMBER IT WELL. AND IF YOU CONTINUE TO TALK THAT WAY AGAINST ME, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT"
'Wow, bachan looks very angry, she never mind the way I talk before. Well, she might be a little irritated, but never that angry. And she shows that stupid piece of paper again, I should seriously consider steal it and destroy it once and for all'
While Naruto is still deep in his thought, the Hokage sits down again, and takes a deep breath. How she is gonna persuade him to do it is the biggest problem. She knows Naruto, there is no way he is gonna agree to this. He is very protective to his friends, but that also could be used against him. This time she knows she needs much more than her precious paper to win this game. It is so much difficult to talk this out when Shizune glances her nonstop, signals her that it is a very bad idea. She can not back out now, her pride is at stake, her career as a gambler is at stake. She has to protect it no matter what.
Naruto waits and waits. Since bachan sits down, she hasn't talked yet. Something must really trouble her. A flood of guilt swaps him, he shouldn't be so mean to her. As a Konoha shinobi, he has the resposibility to assist the Hokage. And as Uzumaki Naruto, he doesn't want to see her upset either.
"Bachan. What is happenning? You know I don't mind some little missions at all. Actually, I am about to ask you for more difficult missions, all those solo S-rank missions getting more and more boring. I just finished them too soon I guess. Nowaday, people don't have a lot of tough missions huh"
"So Naruto, you wouldn't mind any missions that I'm gonna assign you at all, right?"
A hint of happiness and hope in her eyes is too much for Naruto to handle. He stupidly answers without a second thought.
"Of course, bachan. You know I am also a very reasonable person"
"That's good to hear". Maybe things will not be as bad as she imagined. "Naruto, this is your next mission"
"Hai"
"You are gonna marry Hyuuga Hinata by tommorow"
Shizune knows it is a very bad idea, one of the worst idea could possible come from Tsunade-sama. On the second thought, it is not an idea from Tsunade-sama. Thank god. But she goes with it anyway, so no thank. This is bad, this is bad. Naruto looks like he is gonna faint. The Uzumaki Naruto is gonna faint. Our village is gonna be doom. People will hate Tsunade-sama, her career as a Hokage is going to an end. Too much for her peaceful days at the village. Tsunade-sama will be kicked out of the office once people know how long Tsunade-sama has used the village hero for her personal deeds. Oh, she is going to go back to the dark days when she has to run away non-stop with Tsunade-sama from the debt holders. She has to do something fast, but what to do, what to do?
"Do you want some water, Naruto?"
…...!
Oh my god, what a stupid thing to say, but may be she should go get some water any way. It might be the best idea get away from the scene as soon as possible. She would not want to caught in the fight of the two most powerful shinobi in the village. Personally she would like to them to take the fight esle where, it's costly and time consuming to repair the Hokage office and maybe the whole tower, and she is going to be the one who has to do it. May be she should go by the Supplier and Maintainance Office on her way to get the water. Wait, what she is thinking in this time of crisis?
"Thank you, Shizune-oneechan, but I am fine"
Wow, as expected from Naruto. He seems to regain his wit. Shizune has to admit that Naruto has grown a lot through out the years. He has been more mature and smarter? Maybe smarter in some way but he's still the moron of the village that everyone loves. It would be the huge lost for the village to lose some of his stupidity. More than stupidity, it is more like pure and sincere. Yes, he is so pure and true to himself and care too much for his friend that outsiders see it as stupid, but she and other villagers know it better. That stupidity is something valuable to the village and possibly to the whole shinobi world
"Bachan, this is a bad joke. Tell me what is really happening. I don't want to be in the dark, dattebayo."
"This is exactly what is going to happen tomorrow, and that the end of it. You know that you are bound to me by this piece of paper, right?"
"You know very well that that piece of crap is not going to help you this time. There is no way I am gonna..."
"You called this a piece of crap? Come on Naruto, you know more than that, you are the one who beg me to make this piece of crap as you call it"
"I never beg..."
"Shizune, read this out loud so that moron will remember it deep in his head and never dare to talk back to me again"
"Tsunade-sama, I don't think it is a good idea to..."
Tsunade sends Shizune a death glare piecing through her whole body and to her core that reminds her the best way to save her little life right now is to comply to the furry Hokage.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto, the worthless little brat that never in my wildest dream imagine the honor to be in this precious piece of paper by the hand of the Great Fifth Hokage *cough*. Due to my utmost admiration to your unrival strength, your outstanding personality, your unimaginable beauty, *cough* and your incredible kindness for such an incest like me. I am begging you, Hokaga-sama, please make me your apprentice(.!) No, I am not even worth to be your apprentice, please, please, please make me your slave(...?) I would die in content if I have the honor to be your slave for your lifetime, using my humble strength to assist your great personal goals(... ) Yes, I am your personal slave from now on, and you are free to use me as you see fit.*double cough*. If I ever get the gut to do the most abominable thing as to discard this contract and deny your ownership over me, I am not worth to be called a shinobi, to eat ramen everyday, to dare ever show my shameful face to my friends and the villagers, and to be called Uzumaki Naruto ever again . Sign: Uzumaki Naruto"
A/N: What in the ( ) and * * is Shizune reaction while reading the paper, it is not in the paper itself
Shizune feels her face get hotter by the minutes she goes on with the contract. Who in the right mind could have write such a …..letter. She feels so embarrassed just by reading it. Glancing over Tsunade-sama, she can feel the heat rising from her body too. She also seems to be so embarrassed just by hearing it. Is this possible that Tsunade-sama hasn't read it even once? She know that Naruto is dense but to write such a contract is so much not like Naruto. Talking about Naruto. Oh my God, he is fainting, literally, fainting.
