The Truth Revealed

Chapter 9: Meet the Parents Part Deux

Naruto's face paled at the letter Hinata's father wants to meet him and had things he wanted to discuss with him. He thoughts were running wild with ideas of what Hiashi was going to say to him or do to him, he may be the Fourth's son but Hinata was almost considered a princess and so to be the head of the Hyuuga clan. He knew that Hiashi approved of his relationship with Hinata but how far did he approve.

"Hey little bro what's up you look like you've seen a ghost" Takamichi asked with concern in his voice.

Naruto hand the letter to his brother.

"I'm going to go back to my room to play with the baby some more before Ino heads home" Naruto told his brother before heading to his room.

On the way back to his room he couldn't help and think why would Hiashi want to come here instead of the Hyuuga compound. Unless he is worried about Hinata and his safety, there were proably a few Hyuuga elders who the the Kyuubi would try to devour the Hyuuga heir as well as the rest of the village. He got to his room and Ino was trying to get Kouji to go to sleep but he just wouldn't go down without a fight just like his mom.

"Let me see him i have an idea" Naruto said holding his arms out

Ino handed the child to Naruto how exits the room, Sakura and Ino follow him down the hall. They stop at the nursery as Naruto walks in and sits down in a old rocking chair. He places Koujis head next to his heart and slowly starts to rock the infant. Kouji fussed alittle when he was first moved next to Naruto's chest but as soon as he caught the sound of Naruto's heartbeat and the steady motion of the chair his eyelids started to fall as he drifted off into slumber. Ino and Sakura stood in awe they watched the little one, who just put up such a fight now blissfully asleep in the blond chunnin's arms.

"Your going to make a great father one day kit" a certian demon fox piped into Naruto's thoughts.

"You really think so Kyuubi I just thought of what my brother told me about my father and it just came to me" Naruto thought back.

The girls noticed Narutos blnak stare they both knew he was talking to the Kyuubi but there was no anger on his face so they didn't have to worry about any chakra flares to wake up Kouji.

"Naruto can you watch Kouji for a few days my team is going on a mission and we don't have anyone to watch him" Ino asked

"I thought Sakura babysits for you Ino" Naruto asked

"Kakashi and myself are going with them so your the only one left" Sakura said with a grin

Naruto looked at the girls and sighed.

"Ok I'll pick him up before Hinata gets here tomorrow" Naruto said

Ino came over and picked up Kouji from Naruto's arms, they said their goodbyes and exited the Namikaze estate.

*The Next Day*

Naruto walked to Ino and Chouji's home to pick up Kouji they lived near the flower shop because Ino's parents love to pop by unannouced to play with the baby. Naruto knocked on the door and Chouji answered.

"Hey Naruto here to pick up Kouji" the chubby ninja chuckled

"Yeah and pick up somethings from the store for the Hyuugas coming to dinner tonight" Naruto states

"What you cooking" Chouji asks with a little drool on his mouth

"I have no clue Chouji my brothers cooking tonight not me. Anyway don't you have a mission to go on, tell you what hurry up and get back and we'll have a party with the gang"Naruto said with a slight chuckle.

The two were laughing when Ino came with Kouji and his baby essentials.

"Ready Naruto he's all yours, take good care of my little boy" Ino told him.

"Don't worry Ino he's in good hands" Naruto said with his trademark grin

"He better be Naruto or it's your hide" Ino said with a dark look on her face.

Naruto walked Ino and Chouji to the village gate so they could say goodbye. After that Naruto and a few shadow clones with Kouji in tow went to the market and then headed back to the house. Hinata showed up to see if dinner tonight was possible and he told her that dinner should be ready at 7-7:30.

*late afternoon at the Namikaze estate*

The Hyuuga's arrived at the house at 5:00. Naruto got alitte scared when he opened the door and Hiashi Hyuuga was standing in front of him.

"Hiashi-sama in didn't expect you so soon please come in" Naruto said with a nervous tone.

"Thank you Naruto-san" Hiashi said as he, Hinata, Neji and Hanabi walked through the door.

He showed them to the living room and brought them tea.

"Dinner should be ready in a few hours* Naruto said

While the Hyuuga drank their tea Naruto went to the nursery to check on Kouji who was having his afternoon nap. When he entered the nursery to find Kouji wide awke playing with one of the stuffed animals in the crib, as soon as Naruto entered the room Kouji held out his arms to be picked up. Naruto chuckled alittle and picked him up and brought him out to the living room so he could play with the others and start the next step of Hinata's Rasengan training.

Hiashi turned towards Naruto as he enter the room with the infant in tow, Hinata told him earlier that day the Naruto was watching her friend Ino's son for a few days while she and her husband were on a mission for the next few day. Naruto had a smile on his face as he held the child Hiashi knew that Naruto would make a great father some day and he hoped that Naruto would be the father of his future grandchildern. Naruto put Kouji in the playpen in the living room so that he could go get a box from his room. After setting the little boy down in the play pen he exits the room only to return with a box of hollow rubber balls.

"Ok Hinata i'm going to give you your next training exercise" Naruto told his girlfriend.

"I had heard you were teaching Hinata a powerful new technique" Neji said"

"Ok Hinata your going to burst this ball with your chakra just like you did with the water balloon" Naruto said

All four Hyuuga had their Byakugan activated was Naruto made the ball explode. Kouji who was playing with his teddy jumped at the sound of the ball bursting but all he did was turn to Naruto and stared with wide eyes. Hinata picked up one of the balls and started to move here chakra inside the ball, her chakra started to make the ball dimple and rock but just would not burst.

"Hinata this exercise is much more difficult than the first one it took me almost 3 weeks to get it right" Naruto said

"Dinners ready guys" Takamichi said.

Everyone got up and headed to the kitchen with baby in tow.

"We are going to start off with a Smokey Tomato Soup and a Mozzarella Salad" Takamichi said putting a plate in front of everyone.

When Naruto started to eat is soup he noticed Kouji was staring at his bowl and he got an idea. Naruto took a small spoonfull of soup and held it to Kouji's lips and to everyone's surprise he ate the soup. Naruto alternated between spoonfuls for Kouji and himself Hinata couldn't help but smile at the sight. Kouji even tried the salad which was tomato, fresh mozzarella in a vingerette dressing.

After the main course they went back into the living room.
