Oath of Oblivion: Does anyone even read these things? I only do if people put the whole 'important notice' or 'read this' in caps. But even then it tends to be something pointless to me. Anyway, don't own Naruto, obviously, otherwise there'd been multiple filler episodes centered around Itachi's Konoha days. Just because Itachi's that awesome.

Hinata Hyuuga sighed as she buried her head into her knees. She was at Sakura's house, with her legs drawn up to her, and her arms wrapped around her legs. After a hard day of work at the hospital, Ino and Sakura had decided a girl's night at Sakura's house was in order. They even invited Tenten, and right now the three girls were talking about their love lives. Even though Hinata was happy for all of them, even though Sakura's love life was centered around her engagement to Naruto now, she couldn't help the hollow feeling in her heart.

She was the only one of them not in a relationship. Even Shikamaru and Temari were together now. Kiba also had a girlfriend, and Shino was engaged. It seemed like all of her friends were moving on in their life while she wasn't. Already twenty years old and she had never had a single boyfriend.

"Hinata, you alright?" Hinata raised her head, placing her chin on her knees, as Tenten looked questioningly at the girl, "I'm fine Tenten. Just a little tired." she mumbled.

Ino grinned, "You know what I just realized? Hinata, you don't have a boyfriend, right?"

Hinata blinked, "Ano, I don't. Why?"

Sakura grinned next, "I think I see where you're going with this, Ino."

"Really?" The blond haired girl asked.

The pinkette nodded, "And I think it's a great idea."

Hinata blinked again, obviously lost on what the two were saying. Did they have some kind of special jutsu that let them read one another's mind? She wouldn't put it past someone like Ino to be able to do such a thing, given she was a Yamanaka. It certainly seemed like the two could hear the others thoughts from time to time.

"What are you two talking about? You know me and Hinata can never follow your weird unspoken conversations." Tenten said, leaning back on the couch she was seated on.

Sakura grinned, "We should get Hinata a boyfriend!"

Hinata could only blink again in response, "A-Ano, I don't think-"

"Oh come ooon Hinata." Ino whined, stressing the o in on, "You've never even had a boyfriend before, have you? You're really missing out!"

Tenten smirked, "Yeah Hinata. I actually agree with them. You're already 20 years old, Sakura and Naruto are engaged, and Shino's engaged to that girl from the Rain village. Kiba's even got a girl, everyone's in some form of a relationship but you."

"So, since you haven't gotten a boy on your own. It's up to us, your lovely and kind friends, to help you get one!" Sakura said, grinning at the ceiling as she put her legs over the arm of the chair she was in, and laid her head on the other arm.

Hinata frowned, "I'm fine without one. Boys don't tend to like me much anyway." she sighed.

Ino rolled her eyes, "You're just meeting the wrong boys, then. How about this, let's write down a list of what you want in a guy, and then me Tenten and Sakura will find whoever best fits the list, and then we'll do nothing more than tell you who the guy is and bug you about him every now and then. How you react to the guy is completely your choice, alright?"

Hinata sigh as her head hit the top of the couch, looking at the ceiling, then Sakura spoke, "Or you can refuse and we'll have to take drastic meddlesome steps to get you a guy. Which will probably involve telling Naruto, and you know how much of a blabbermouth he is."

Hinata blushed slightly. If Naruto knew, then everyone knew. Unless it was something super important and confidential, meaning related to the safety of Konoha or one of it's ninja. Unfortunately, Hinata's love life had nothing to do with that. The Kyuubi container was more likely to go to the nearest bar and announce to all the occupants that Hinata Hyuuga was single and looking for a guy.

The Hyuuga heiress sighed in defeat, "Alright, I'll do the list idea. Then I'm going home." she said, to which Ino squealed like a teenage girl again and ran off to find a few pieces of paper and some pens.

'What have I gotten myself into?' the girl thought, watching as Ino came back and handed out the paper and pens to Sakura and Tenten.

Uchiha Sasuke tapped his foot impatiently as he sat next to Naruto in the Konoha council room. It had been four years since the Uchiha had spoken with Itachi, turned against Madara, and defeated the Uchiha alongside Naruto. Afterward he had come back to the village with the blonde. For three months he was in a cell, then for about two years he could not leave the village, and always had to be in the presence of Naruto Kakashi or Sakura one, with numerous ANBU tailing him all day.

But finally he was a Konoha citizen again, given the rank of Jounin. They said it would be a long time before he could become ANBU, if ever, given his past. But since Tsunade was getting old, and had already declared Naruto as her successor, he didn't need to worry about that. He had spoken in length with the Kyuubi boy what it would take for his return. He had to be ensured that Naruto would become the sixth Hokage, to which Naruto said he would become said Hokage. He also wanted the council removed when Naruto took his position, only Naruto and whomever Naruto trusted greatly would be allowed to have influence in the village. That way when Sasuke started rebuilding his clan, he would be sure that his descendants wouldn't be used as pawns for Konoha, then tossed away later like before.

Naruto agreed wholeheartedly, saying he would do that even if Sasuke didn't return. So the last Uchiha agreed and returned to Konoha with him. Now four years later Tsunade was close to retirement, given her old age, and Naruto was soon to take over her spot. At which point Sasuke would become his most trusted adviser, along with Sakura. Naruto planned to have it simply be him Sasuke and Sakura leading Konoha. Always making agreements, and going on the principle of two votes overrule one vote if there was ever a disagreement.

Sasuke personally thought it was a good idea. He and Naruto had been out on the field so much, with Sasuke himself having been out as both a Konoha Shinobi and as a rogue. So he had much more experience with more outside forces. Sakura was the top healing ninja of Konoha, probably the world, second to Tsunade only. The three together would make a perfect council to run a village.

'But until then' The Uchiha thought, glaring at the elders before him, 'I have to participate in these damn council meetings with Naruto. Ugh.'

"Uchiha." Sasuke turned to look at one of the men seated around the table, "For quite sometime your attire has been bothering me. Is there a reason you decide to wear the clothes that Orochimaru gave you, and an Akatsuki cloak over top of that? You wouldn't happen to be planning anything, would you?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "This is one of the Akatsuki cloaks my brother had while he was in service with the Akatsuki. I wear it because it's good for concealing hand signs and weapons, and because it belonged to my brother. I wear the clothes I wore when with Orochimaru because it's the outfit I've worn to battle for almost seven years, and I don't tend to change my wardrobe often. If you have a problem with it, I'd be glad to meet you outside after this to show you just how useful in battle it is."

The man looked away from Sasuke, crossing his arms.

Another man spoke, one of the elders of Konoha, "A rather pressing matter is our dwindling ninja supply. We're losing more and more ninja, rather it be because ninja are choosing less hazardous lifestyles or they're just dieing in missions. if we don't do something, we'll be open to attack to from other nations. Since the allied shinobi forces was terminated almost a year after the war with Madara, we can't trust another war won't happen at one point."

"I understand that we're low on Shinobi, but what exactly do you want me to do about that?" The 5th Hokage growled at the two elders. The meeting was important, so the Hokage, Naruto, Sasuke, the two elders, and several clan leaders had to come to it.

(Heads up, I don't know the names of the two elders, so I will simply refer to them as the male elder and the female elder. Sorry if this causes annoyance.)

The male elder turned his gaze to the Mangekyo Sharingan holder, "One way we can help this, is if a certain Sharingan wielder would get to restoring his clan."

Sasuke glared at the man, his bloodline already activated. After the war he tended to have it activated for extended periods of time, as his brother had done, "I will not be restoring my clan until Naruto takes place as the ruling Hokage, and I find a woman I actually care for. This might come as a shock to you, but I don't intend to restore my clan with just any girl willing. I would like to actually have a relationship with my future wife."

The elder narrowed his eyes, "A waste of time. Everyday is just another day we don't have more Sharingan to help us. With Kabuto becoming more of a problem, and the fact that he obviously targets you for what you did to him and his master in the past, there's no telling when you could die. At which point there would be no hope for the Sharingan. Kakashi can't pass it on since he got his from an Uchiha. So if you don't hurry it up, then the Uchiha are facing extinction."

"Then you should have thought twice before you had them exterminated. Now I suggest you stop speaking of my clan, before I decide that avenging Itachi and the rest of the Uchiha is actually worth it." Sasuke replied, glaring at the man, hoping he would speak again just so he had a reason to give him a round in Tsukuyomi.

The old man backed down, as the Hyuuga leader Hiashi spoke, "I agree with the elder. The Sharingan would be very useful in building our ranks, very useful if another genius such as Itachi or Shisui was to arise again. At the moment, the only two really strong enough to take Kabuto and his reanimation jutsu one on one is Naruto and the Uchiha. If one were to die, it could put us at a tremendous disadvantage should Kabuto attack. Especially if he were able to use reanimation on the one who died."

Several other council members agreed to Hiashi's statement, much to Sasuke's annoyance.

Tsunade sighed, taking a shot from a sake bottle, "How about this then, to appease you both parties. I plan on retiring before long. So, Sasuke, I'll let Naruto take my place as soon as you marry and impregnate a girl. That way these old farts get their Sharingan user, and you get what you said would be the requirement for you reviving the clan."

Sasuke scowled, not liking the fact that the offer was to good to pass up. Even though the council would still be around while his offspring was on the way, it wouldn't take long for Naruto and Sasuke to remove the council members of their positions when he was Hokage. So he reluctantly agreed. If he, Naruto, and Sakura played their cards right, the council would be no more and Team Seven would be in charge of Konoha before the child was even born.

As they all shuffled out of the meeting room, Naruto threw his arm around Sasuke's shoulder. Given he still wasn't trusted very well, he had to share an apartment with Naruto. Thank god Naruto always went to Sakura's when they wanted to do something.

The Uchiha's eye twitched as he remembered one of his first nights at his and Naruto's new apartment, when the Uzumaki had brought Sakura back and they had retreated into Naruto's room, keeping Sasuke up all night with how loud they were.

"So, Teme, I guess this means you're gonna find a girl soon, right?" Naruto asked, grinning widely at his best friend.

Sasuke shrugged Naruto's arm off his shoulder, "Aa. I guess so, and knowing my luck, it'll be far harder than I expect."

The soon to be Hokage slapped the Uchiha on the back, "Don't worry, I'll help you out! I bet Sakura would love to play matchmaker with you!"

Sasuke scowled, looking at the Uzumaki boy, "No. Don't tell anyone of this. If you're going to butt into my life then fine, I learned a while back I can't stop you. But the last thing I need is Sakura and Ino and whoever else you and her can round up trying to find me a wife. This stays between you, me, and the other council members."

Naruto sighed, nodded, "Alright. Do you even have a clue as to what kind of girl you'd like?"

Sasuke shrugged, "You mean personality wise and all? Of course I do. Everyone with half a brain does. Like how you apparently like loud abusive women."

Naruto chuckled a little, "Well, what's your type of girl? Unless you want me to just throw random girls at you."

Sasuke glanced at him from the corner of his eye, Sharingan still active, then sighed, "I'll tell you when we get back to the apartment."

With that, the two continued walking down Konoha's streets.

Oath: I wonder how far I can go with this fanfic. Probably only be able to get around 10 to 15 chapters. Hopefully those won't be as short as this one though. Then again, this was about 2500 words, that at least decent, isn't it?

Hope you enjoyed, see you next time.
