Heart of a Fox

ch.12

The next half hour was spent tracking down the Jonin and bringing them to Tsunade's office, the chosen staging point to for the move."

"Okay guy's I just need to go get my cousin and I'll explain everything." Naruto explained, causing all the jonin and Tsunade to look at him with a question on their faces.

"You have a cousin?" Piped up Kakashi.

"Yeah we only figured it out a little while ago. But when my mother and her aunt have the same name and both developed the same seal for the same reason it was kind of an easy guess."

"So who is it, and you still need to get ..."

"That's it!"

"Who?" Kakashi questioned

"Sakura, and before you say I know all that time wanting to be romantic with her to find out she's my cousin is kind of creepy and please leave it at that."

Kakashi was shocked.he never expected that in a million years.

"I'll be right back" and Naruto vanished out the window.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Across town a few minutes later.

Sakura had just gotten off work and was getten ready to start dinner, when there was a knock on the door.

"That must be Naruto coming to help with dinner."Sakura though out loud heading for the door.

When she opened the door she saw Naruto standing there with out Hinata. "Hey Naruto, you here to help with dinner? And where is Hinata?"

"Nata's at the Hokage's and right now when and actually right now I actually need your help."Naruto answered.

"What's up?"

"Well I just got a new place and Hinata's gonna move in with me so we're gathering some friends to go to the Hyuga compound and collect her things."

"Sure, let me tell Sasuke where I'm going. By the way where are the two of you moving to anyways?"

Naruto turned and points to the now freshly painted blue and white gate across the road, "Right over there. It was my dads before he died, and he left it to me."

"No way, Sasuke's gonna love this. I'll be right back"

With that Sakura ran into her house crying "Sasuke! Naruto's gonna move in across the street with Hinata. I'm gonna go help them move her out of her fathers house be back in a little while."

At that Sasuke rolled his wheel chair into the hall way, "Hey dumb ass, how ya doin' ? What's this about you moving in across the street, and with Hinata Hyuga no less?"

"Well the long and short of that is Four days ago Hinata took a poisoned kunai in the shoulder for me and all I could think of was getting her to the hospital making sure she was safe. And I spent the next three days worrying about her and thinking about her and just every time I've been around her. The way she blushed when ever we spoke, the fact that she believed in me when very few others did. You know for the longest time I saw her watching me from the shadows. I guess hindsight is 20/20"

"It's kinda like me and Sakura. After I left for the longest time there where only two things I could think about killing Itachi, and this pink haired girl I left behind. Well there was a third, but that was making sure I was never caught alone in the shower with certain subordinates of Orochimaru.... So you guys coming over after."

"Actually yeah, Sakura thought it would be a good first date should be a nice sit down dinner with my family."

"Good...wait you aren't cooking, are you?"

"No, just helping"

"Good I still remember the last debacle you called a meal"

"Hey, I've gotten better since then."

At that moment Sakura came back to the front door, now out of her hous clothes and dress in a longer, blue version of her old Ninja gear complete with headband tying back her long pink hair."Okay, Naruto I'm ready to go."

"Cool, lets go, we gotta get back to the tower to explain the situation to the rest of the group," and with that Sakura bent down and kissed Sasuke good-bye and they were off running back to the Hokage's tower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A short time later back at the Hokage's tower

Sakura and Naruto Had just gotten back and Naruto got ready to explain the plan.

"Okay everyone, this is the plan we came up with Tsunade. It's kinda simple, the six of us head over to the Hyuga complex, escort Hinata to her bedroom and pack all her stuff, and carry it out. I don't expect it to be that easy. Hiashi Hyuga has made his disapproval of our relationship well known, and is looking to keep Hinata under his control. I hate to say it but the main reason for you guys coming is as a deterrent against any funny business from the Hyuga."

"No problem Naruto" Kurenai responded "I'm glad you two finally got together but I've seen your apartment you sure you both can fit"

"That's already been taken care of, because we are moving into my fathers old house"

Everyone but Tsunade and Sakura looked on with a questioning expressions, when Asuma asked, "And who was your father?"

"Minato Namazaki, the Fourth Hokage" Naruto responded.

Kurenai's mouth dropped open, while Asuma smiled and bowed his head, but surprizingly Kakashi stared at the boy unbeleivingly. "Why didn't I see it? I spent close to five years training with Namazaki-sensei and I didn't even recognize his own son."

"Don't feel so bad he looks more like his mother and acts like her to.He just got his fathers hair and eyes" responded Tsunade

"I guess that explains the new get-up"

"Yeah, my mom made it for my father for their wedding, the swords where his as well though the only reason I wear them is, I don't have a proper place to put them."

"I'll help you with that after this is done" Kakashi said solemnly.

"Yeah that sounds great, but first things first we need to move Hinata in to our new house. I think it's time we get moving"

"Yes" came from Kurnei

"Sure" was all Sakura said

"Let's do it" came form Asuma

"Naruto love, when we get there let me do the talking. Everyone there needs to know this is my decision this is my fight as much as it is yours."

"Fine, you do the talking, but if it comes to blows I will make sure they know there will be hell to pay if they try to take you from me."

"I know love, I know"

At that the entire group disappeared Tsunade's office heading to the Hyuga Complex.
