You are N & H Uzumaki!
Near Kumogakure.
"Yo, little fellas. My brotha, the Raikage, is a special kind of guy, y'know. He seems angry all the time, but trust me, under that scary exterior he's a softie. I suggest being honest and answer his questions. I'll be there with you, okay?"
"Bee-san, should I drop my Henge now? Or Hinata?"
"Eeeeeh, nope, no way, niet, never. Once I explain your story, you won't have to worry. But after that kidnapping incident a while ago, Kumo-nin are on edge and ready to go. Better safe than sorry, yeah!"
"Bee, your rap sucks."
"Thank you, Eight-O! I love you too."
"Wow, Kumogakure looks amazing. Ne, Hinata-chan, wanna explore the village when we get some free time?"
"Na-Naruko called me Hinata-chan…" she whispered, thinking she was talking to herself.
"Of course I called you Hinata-chan! You said you love me, want to marry me, and have a big family together, right? That means we're pretty close. You're my very first friend, and once we get to know each other better, I bet you'll make an awesome girlfriend. Don't get me wrong—I'll sign the marriage contract the moment you ask, just to keep you safe. But I'd like to get to know you before the wedding and all that stuff."
Hinata faints.
"Oh man, not again! Hinata? Hinata! Wake up!"
"Dork."
Raikage Tower
"Yo Mabui-chan, tell my brotha it's me—the awesome Killer Bee."
"Bee-sama, who are those little girls?"
"It's top-secret information, I can't give you an explanation. But we can have a reservation—to make love and have a conversation. Oh yeah!"
"Tasteless, even if the rhymes were somehow passable."
"Bee-sama, I'm not going on a date with you. Please stop asking. A-sama will see you now. Please follow me."
"I'll follow you to the ends of the world, Mabui-chan."
"BEE, STOP HITTING ON MY SECRETARY OR YOU'LL FEEL THE IRON CLAW!"
The Raikage's thunderous voice shook the entire building.
The Raikage was a massive, muscular man with an ogre-like face and the same skin tone as Bee. Just as the jinchūriki had warned, he looked truly intimidating.
"Mission complete, Brokage—with a little extra you're sure to love. These youngsters in my care are a surprise you'll want to hear about. Yeah!"
"Bee, what have you done this time?"
"Relax, Brokage. These cute girls came with me willingly. I see kidnapping as something ill. In private, their story you'll feel! Yeah!"
"Bee, this is serious… SO STOP RHYMING FOR KAMI'S SAKE!" roared A, smashing his desk.
"Okay, okay! Chill, you fool. Send Mabui-chan and the ANBU out, and I'll explain."
Once alone, Bee began.
"These are Naruko Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga of Konohagakure. Hard to believe, I know, but the Fourth Hokage himself asked me to take care of them. So listen up—this is quite the tale."
Later That Day – Raikage's Office
"BEE, YOU'VE DONE WELL! I'M SO PROUD!" A cried, tears streaming down his face. "Girls, I assure you, you'll be treated fairly here. Naruko, I knew your father, and I'll honor his final wish. Hinata, you've suffered due to what my predecessor did to your clan. I'll try to make it right. It's your choice, but I recommend you maintain your Henges if you attend the academy. Also, Miss Hyuga, it may be wise to change your surname."
"Ano… that won't be a problem. As soon as Naruko-kun signs this document, I'll… I'll be Mrs. Uzumaki." said Hinata, turning bright red.
"Well, that certainly solves that problem."
"We want to be ninja, Raikage old man!"
"BWAHAHA! 'Raikage old man'—I like these kids!"
"You know, Brokage, I want to train them. Naruko's a jinchūriki, and Hinata has some of the kyubii's chakra, up to three tails."
"Grrr… fine. They'll go to the academy half-time and train under you the rest. The final four years will be mostly on Turtle Island. From now on, they're N and H Uzumaki—shinobi of Kumogakure. Tell Mabui I've ordered a Genin apartment for them. After I speak with Bee, he'll show you to your new home and enroll you in the academy. Welcome to Kumogakure—I'm sure you'll make us proud."
Later That Night – Genin Apartments, Naruto and Hinata's Room
"Wow… this is amazing! We've got our own kitchen, our own bath, two rooms—though we could share one if you want, Hinata-chan."
Hinata.exe has stopped working.
"Crap, not again! You okay?"
"I-I'm fine… I-I just need some fresh air," Hinata mumbled, barely coherent.
"Oh, okay. I'll go make us something to eat then!"
As Hinata stepped outside to the small balcony, she leaned on the railing and looked up at the full moon. The stars were bright over the hidden village in the clouds. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart.
"Naruko-chan… I can't believe you said all that in front of the Raikage…"
She clutched the small marriage contract scroll in her hands.
"You really meant it. You're not just saying things… You really care."
Back inside, Naruko was failing miserably at making rice.
"Why is the rice exploding?! Damn it! I should've paid more attention to Iruka-sensei!"
Poof!
"Stop ruining dinner, kit."
"Kurama?!"
"Yes. I figured I should offer some assistance before you burn the apartment down."
"Well, thanks I guess—but you're not exactly a professional chef either."
"I can possess your body and use your hands to make food. Do you trust me?"
"…No."
"Smart boy."
Knock knock.
"Hinata-chan? Are you okay? I made tea!"
"I-I'm okay, thank you, Naruto-chan."
Hinata's Room – Later
As the evening wore on, Hinata sat on her futon, brushing her hair. The room had been decorated simply but tastefully. She looked at the small framed photo of her and Naruko they'd taken on their first day in Kumo—Bee had insisted. She smiled softly.
A small scroll lay open on her desk: the marriage contract.
I won't force him. I'll give him time. But I won't let this chance slip away. Not again.
She carefully folded the scroll and tucked it into her pillowcase, right next to her heart.
Naruko's Room
"Kurama, do you think we'll really be okay here?"
"You're still an idiot, but you're my idiot. And Kumogakure's stronger for having you both. Just don't screw it up."
"…Thanks, ka-chan."
"Anytime, brat."
