Political Alliances
Chapter 4: Meeting the Bride to Be
Temari was with Baki and her brothers as they were escorting her to Konoha, a part of her kept waking up every day on the trip here thinking that it had been all a dream what was happening. It just seemed so unreal to her but the closer she got to the village the more real it seemed. They stayed in inns on the way but each day and every step just seemed to fill her a little bit more of dread. In truth she loved being a Suna nin and she loved her village even given how it had treated her youngest brother and what had been done to him. But the fact was she was no longer going to proudly ware the Suna symbol around her neck but one of the Leaf.
She fingered the protector that she liked to wear around her neck another time knowing that soon she would never wear it proudly for the world to see.
“How are you holding up?” Kankuro asked her.
“The same,” she replied as they walked on. “I just wish I knew a bit more about this guy, I mean was the whole loudmouth idiot thing some kind of act?”
He just shrugged, “Don’t know but if it is it’s a good one. Still don’t see why Gaara liked the guy so much.”
“Still couldn’t get him to elaborate,” she sighed as it was more of a statement then a question. No matter how much they tried they couldn’t get him to say why exactly. It was almost like whatever happened between him and the blonde was private but then again Gaara also wasn’t the most open person even before his new change of heart.
“Well looks like we’re here,” Baki said breaking Temari from her thoughts.
She sighed seeing the massive gates, when she first saw them she though them impressive. Now looking at them she realised she would be seeing them for the rest of her life as she left and returned to the village. She could see several people already waiting by the gates and guessed it was their welcoming committee. She tried to get ready for this but in all honesty how could you get ready for something like this? She just hoped that with time she could learn to accept her fate and deal with it.
By the massive gates to the village stood the Hokage, with Shizune, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and just joining them was Kakashi.
“Kakashi, where were you?” Tsunade demanded as the man was already late but that was nothing new with him.
“Sorry, I had to help a little girl find her cat,” he chuckled and rubbing the back of his head.
“Lair!” Naruto and Sakura yelled at him.
“Now that isn’t a nice thing to say to your sensei,” Kakashi said to them.
“Well maybe if you showed up on time for once we would have more respect for you,” Sakura said crossing her arms as Naruto was nodded his head in agreement. Then she turned to her orange clad team mate and sighed looking at him. “Seriously, Naruto couldn’t you find something decent to wear? I mean you want to make a good impression don’t you?”
“What’s wrong with this? I always wear this,” Naruto said looking down at the orange and blue jump suit.
“Don’t you have anything that isn’t so...orange?”
“I like orange!” he said in defence of his favourite color. He didn’t know why but he just liked his suits because they had so much of his favourite color plus they were durable, warm and had lots of pockets and for all the pranks he pulled over the years that came in handy.
“Enough!” Tsunade said getting the kids attention, “looks like they’re arriving.”
They waited as the four Sand shinobi came up to them as Tsunade took a step forward, “Greetings, as the new Hokage I formally welcome you to the Village hidden in the Leaves.”
Temari was shocked that this was the famous Tsunade the Sannin. This woman looked no older than twenty-five but the reports she had read said that this woman was supposed to be over fifty! If she was she looked amazing and looking at the huge chest she had on her she had to wonder if those were even natural. She looked at her other companions and she could see that Baki was trying not to stare Gaara looked like he was staring at Naruto but without the bloodlust she normally would have expected. Her other brother however was making no attempt to not look at the Hokage’s cleavage she smacked him on the back of his head.
He gave a look but she gave him a hard glare before he opened his mouth.
Naruto snickered when the guy in the makeup got smacked for looking at Tsunade, although he suddenly got elbowed by Sakura as he looked at her confused.
“Are you supposed to say something?” She whispered.
“Oh right,” Naruto said remembering the greeting that Kakashi made him memorise. He took a few steps forward to Tsunade and gave a bow to her. “I great you and I wish you welcome and safety.”
Temari wasn’t expecting a formal Suna greeting but she returned the bow, “I am thankful for the hospitality and the honor.”
Naruto then smiled up at them and noticed Gaara was walking towards him. He stiffened a bit but something was different this time, he wasn’t getting that creepy feeling and of terror like the last times he met the guy. He couldn’t place it but the guy just seemed more normal than last time although it was hard to tell with that mostly blank expression on his face.
“Uh...hey?” Naruto said not sure what to say to him.
“Naruto Uzumaki,” Gaara said but there was no malice in the tone. “Will you take care of my older sister like you would those precious to you?”
Naruto blinked in confusion before he smiled, “Of course I will! It’s a promise and I always keep my promises.”
Gaara nodded his head, “Thank you...and...for what you did as well...”
“Huh?” Naruto asked once more confused.
“You showed me where true strength comes from,” Gaara said simply and Naruto got a huge smile on his face.
The others who were watching were just as confused. Temari and Kankuro didn’t know what to make of their youngest sibling, Kakashi was looking on in interests although he had a small smile under his mask. Tsunade and Shizune were wondering what the story was behind all this, Sasuke just didn’t look pleased mainly because watching the two of them, only reminded him of how he had failed to defeat Gaara and Naruto had.
Sakura was caught between confused and nervous being around the boy that had tried to kill her and her team the last time she saw him. Although she couldn’t help but notice that the guy seemed less...intense, she supposed the word would be, although she still wasn’t exactly easy to be near him. Images of what he had done to Lee replayed in her mind as well.
“Well then,” Tsunade said breaking the moment, “I think Naruto should show Temari their new home. The three of you I’ve made arrangements to be put up in one of the hotels in the village. Tomorrow at ten, I want everyone in my office as we officially swear Temari into the Leaf village and also her place in Team 7.”
“Huh, she’s going to be in my team?” Kakashi asked.
“If you weren’t late all the time you’d know that,” Tsunade told him a small vein growing on her head. “Since there are no open slots and given the circumstances, I’ve allowed her to be placed in your team.”
She also secretly hoped that it would help Naruto and Temari get to know each other better through the experiences.
Kakashi rubbed his chin, “Hmmm, okay that shouldn’t be a problem. But I’ll need a week to evaluate them and get their teamwork up to speed before any major missions. D ranks should be okay for now but I need to see what she can do and think of new team tactics with her as well.”
Tsunade nodded her head as it sounded okay for her.
“Hey shouldn’t you have more stuff?” Naruto asked Temari seeing them only carrying travel bags and such.
“All my stuff is sealed up in scrolls since there is no way I want to haul all that crap all the way here,” she told him.
Naruto remembered seeing Tenten used that in the chunin exams in her fight with Temari, that girl had used a lot of weapons and he had forgotten about that.
“Hey is that hard to do using sealing scrolls?” Naruto asked her.
“You don’t know how to do that? Most ninja in Suna learn that when they’re on a genin team.”
That caused the members of Team 7 and Tsunade to glare at Kakashi who at least had the decency to looked a bit embarrassed.
“I kept meaning to but they never really needed it so...”
“You kept putting it off,” Tsunade said glaring a bit harder at the man. “Kakashi I know this is your first genin team but you should at least get them up to date, or I might have to consider other ways to ‘motivate’ you.”
Kakashi didn’t know what she would let alone could do, but he nodded his head. He mentally sighed as it just meant less reading time and relaxing.
-Uzumaki Home-
Temari looked at the place that was to be her new home all in all it wasn’t too bad. Looked like they would have some privacy at least something she liked to have now and then although it was odd for her to see so much green. It was the same when she first came here during the chunin exams she wasn’t used to this climate either. It was too cool for her tastes but during the exams she did adjust to it and after awhile it wasn’t so bad. The sun didn’t scorch you as badly, the humidity was a lot more bearable but it was still different.
She had no idea what it was even like to have a yard as the water to maintain grass was a luxury that people didn’t bother with as not dying from thirst was more important.
“Well come on, this place is great!” Naruto said smiling eager to show her around. “There’s this nice backyard that I think we can turn into a nice training area...that is if that’s okay with you?”
Temari shrugged although it did sound like a nice idea to her whatever the shorter blonde was at least he was somewhat practical. “Sounds okay to me, but can I put my stuff away first?”
“Huh, oh sure!” Naruto led her inside and the place obviously would need work, Temari thought looking around.
It certainly could use a woman’s touch, plus if she was doomed to live here she might as well make it her own. She took one of the sealing scrolls and placed it on a table, it held things that could easily go down here and she could set it up later. Naruto led her upstairs to where the bedrooms were and a part of her was dreading this, would he force her to sleep in the same bed as him? Sure they were going to be married and she was duty bound to certain parts like at least having one child and the things that came with it. But she sure as hell wasn’t going to be some trophy wife either or subservient to his every wishes.
Just as she was about to voice her strong opinions on the matter he spoke up first.
“This is your room, mine is just across the hall.” Naruto smiled at her.
Temari blinked a few times a little surprised he had given her, her own room. “My own room?”
“Well yeah,” Naruto smiled nervously as he scratched the back of his head. “I mean, I know we’ll be married but we don’t even know each other all that well. I didn’t think you’d like sharing a room with a stranger and it wouldn’t really be right to force you to so I figured to give you the large room and I get the smaller one.”
Temari had to admit not only was she surprised but she was impressed with his decency in the matter. Although there was one question she had left, “So why did you give me the larger room them?”
“Well I figured you would have more stuff, you know coming from a family and all,” he shrugged and she nodded also remembering the report that said he was an orphan. She wasn’t sure how to feel about that although sad she didn’t really know him that well to really feel much.
“Besides girls tend to have a lot more stuff than boys,” he grinned remembering some of the stories Kiba told of his older sister and mother.
Temari’s eye twitched, just when he was starting to earn from points with her, he had to go and say something stupid like that. Naruto noticed the glare that she was giving him and shrunk a little under her gaze.
“What did I say?” he muttered.
“Baka,” she muttered going into her room leaving Naruto to wonder just why girls were so hard to understand.
She went through setting up her room, the sealed scrolls she had mainly had a lot of her stuff from back in Suna. She gathered up everything she had since it wasn’t likely she would go home other than a visitor. So she got her bed, a nice large one with a soft mattress. Sometimes she needed to relax and this was one of them, a dresser, vanity mirror and her clothes and stuff. She still had her equipment scroll that held all her ninja gear and things she needed to repair her fan and the replacement fan too. She decided to leave that for later and placed it aside.
“Hey what’s this for?” she heard Naruto’s voice and she was starting to wonder if she should worry. She went down to the first level as she saw him looking at the scroll she had left he had it open looking at it.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Sorry,” he said quickly trying to move it back to where he found it. “It just looked so cool and I wanted to see how it worked.”
Temari was once again wondering if he really was like this or if it was an act, although she didn’t know what he would bother to keep it up around her. “Fine, I’ll show you but in return you got to help me set things up.”
Naruto eagerly agreed with her as he watched as she used the scroll to bring out the items in it. It was basic stuff like a couch, lamp and several other things. Naruto helped her to set up the living room and by the end of it things were looking a bit better now. She put up a spare picture of her and her brothers up as the place felt a bit better with it. After that Naruto showed her around the rest of it, she was surprised by the backyard as he had been right it was a good place for a outdoor training area. The rest was kind of empty but she knew that they had the rest of their lives to fill it up, that thought was a strange one although not very pleasant.
There was a small onsen as well, although it looked to be just newly repaired. Naruto told her that the previous owner was said to have some water jutsu to make it. It wasn’t very large looking only to fit a few people but it would be great for those days when she was sore from training.
When he said how he wanted to turn one room into a place to put all their ninja gear she once again liked the idea. When he showed her the room it wasn’t much, small, one window, a small closet and apparently he had started. There was a self made shelf with kunai, some wire, extra pouch and holder. The closet she could easily place her fan and a couple of others if she got more. All in all it was a nice starting place and she had to wonder just how a kid so hyperactive and seemingly an idiot had some practical sense.
It just seemed the more she got to know him the more confusing he was as nothing made sense.
Although there was one thing she didn’t know about Naruto and that was when they got to the kitchen and she when she took a look at what they had to eat she was dumbfounded by what she found. The fridge held a few things but there were two cupboards full of nothing but ramen. There was instant ramen and ingredients to make your own, and in all kinds of flavours as well.
“How the hell can you eat all this stuff?” she blurted out.
“Why not?” Naruto asked her. “Ramen is the best food there is!”
Temari gave him a level look, “No wonder you’re short if that’s all you eat.”
“What’s that’s supposed to mean?” he shouted as Temari once again wasn’t sure if she should anger the boy or not. She had seen him and knew that in a fight she couldn’t beat him.
“I-I just mean that without proper food you can stunt your growth.” She told him in the same type of tone she used with Gaara when he had been crazy.
Naruto wasn’t sure why she seemed so strange but he didn’t think nothing of it but still he didn’t get her point. Ramen was the best food there was plus it was easy to make and cheap too. Then a thought hit him, what if she didn’t like ramen? How could he get married to a woman that didn’t like it? The idea wasn’t too pleasant for him but he had to make sure.
“So you don’t like ramen?”
“It’s okay now and then,” Temari said but then looked around the kitchen and frowned. “But there’s more than just ramen you know. Don’t you have anything else here?”
Naruto thought but in all honesty he hadn’t really shopped lately and shrugged. Temari sighed and rubbed her temple so far this wasn’t going very well. She gave him a look and hoped that he wouldn’t cause a fuss. “We’re going out, I need to do some decent shopping for food but since I don’t know where any stores are you’re going to have to show me where they are.”
“Now?” he whined.
“Yes.”
Temari, while on the way to the nearest store, had Naruto tell her and show her anything that she needed to know. She had a basic layout of the village from her time here and from her studies but she would be living here so she needed to know where certain stores were. Drug stores for her more feminine products, shopping stores for clothing, decent ninja gear stores, and anything else. So far he was helpful although when she pressed for details on certain stores he only gave her a few, what she didn’t know was that these were the only stores that actually let Naruto buy anything.
Naruto for his part did tell her about a few others but he wasn’t sure they might let her in given that she was wearing a Suna symbol and the fact that if she was currently walking with him wasn’t good either. He noticed the same looks on the villagers, the ones of indifference like he wasn’t even there or the few glares at him. Although lately they hadn’t been as numerous, he also noticed a few angry looks at Temari. He sighed on the inside he should have guessed that she wouldn’t have it easy. He took a few quick glances at her and she didn’t seem to notice the looks or just didn’t care.
Naruto thought about the day and so far it hadn’t been very good, it was just so awkward being with her. He knew next to nothing about her but Tsunade told him that he should give her a little space to settle in first. Although he was curious about her, sure she was a little rough on the outside but she wasn’t too mean, she was being nicer then when they first met at least.
-Later-
Temari now knew something for sure about Naruto, that whole issue of him being a loud mouthed idiot being an act or not was officially over. It wasn’t an act, he really was a loud mouthed idiot. The whole thing with shopping with him had been something that was giving her a headache. The boy was very hyperactive and when she asked for certain things like if he knew where the avocados were he just gave her a blank look. When she found them and showed them to him he said he had thought those were just giant seeds.
Some old bat had also been giving him attitude, she hadn’t seen what started but the old lady had been spewing out something at him that mad the boy angry. She had heard him arguing all the way across the store and when she asked him what happened he evaded why the old woman seemed to have it in for him. He just muttered about how stupid some adults were.
She decided to let it drop, the rest of it wasn’t easy but eventually she got a decent amount of food. She had taken her savings with her thankfully and paid for them but had Naruto carry them all. There was one good thing with Naruto was that he was the perfect pack mule, all those shadow clones easily made him carry an unlimited number of bags that she could get. She smirked knowing that the next time she got to do some more personal shopping spree to take him with her. She also learned that he wasn’t like her brother in the fact that she could actually get mad and he wouldn’t try to kill her.
She hadn’t been sure about him but so far she had learned that if she glared at him she could control him easily enough. It kind of gave her a perverse sense of power to know she could control a genin as strong as him just because he seemed to be afraid of a girl’s glare. Maybe this whole marriage thing could work out after all she thought smugly as they walked back to their home. After putting everything away the rest of the day she just wanted to rest up, it had been a long travel and she was tired.
While she was taking a nap in her room Naruto thought about something to do, mainly he was thinking of how this was going to be his life now. Temari wasn’t too bad but she was still cold to him, although Tsunade said to give her space he felt that he should do something nice to at least show her that she was put a little more at ease. Plus he wanted for them to at least be friends at some point, they were going to have to live together and he didn’t want them to hate each other.
Then he got an idea, he ran to the kitchen as he figured he would try and make something to eat. Of course he usually did cook ramen but he did eat other things at times. It was just that he really loved ramen but he might as well make something different for her, plus one of the things you learned while living on your own was how to do things yourself like cooking. Of course he had a very hard learning curve but he managed to get through it without burning his old place to the ground.
Although there had been a few close calls before the Third Hokage taught him a few things.
An hour later Temari could have sworn that she smelled something nice, her eyes slowly opened as she got up, her body ached especially her legs. But then her stomach rumbled and she looked at her clock to see the time she looked around confused until she remembered where she was now.
‘Oh right I’m in the Leaf Village,’ she thought as she got up and stretched. ‘What is that smell?’
She went down and found that it was coming to the kitchen she walked in a little confused to the site. The place had dirty dishes in the sink but on the table there was Naruto setting up what looked like some teppanyaki BBQ. It actually looked kind of good. She was surprised that the blonde knew how to cook something other than ramen.
“Oh hey Temari, I thought I’d cook something nice for your first night here,” Naruto said giving her that huge smile of his. She had never known anyone that smiled at much as him in her life.
“Didn’t think you knew anything other than ramen with how you talk about it,” she said looking at the food.
“Well ramen is the best but I learned a few other things,” he said scratching the back of his head.
Temari took a taste of the meat on the dish and she had to admit it wasn’t bad, it could be better but it wasn’t bad. “Not bad it just needs some more spices.”
“Really? I never tried spices so I wasn’t sure what to use, it’s those things in the little shaker things right?” Naruto pointed to the spices that Temari bought.
“Yes, tell you what next meal I’ll help show you them and how to use them.” She said and she noticed his huge smile. She didn’t understand why he seemed so happy to be shown something so simple as that.
What she didn’t understand was that to Naruto, anyone willing to actually show him something and to teach him anything. Sure it was cooking but to Naruto it meant a bit more than that, in fact once Temari got comfortable with a person she wasn’t so bad to hang out with. They took their plates and started to eat up, Temari was glad that her future husband had some talent in the kitchen it meant that she wouldn’t have to cook all the meals and there was no way in hell she was going to do all the house work.
Naruto hated silences and decided to try and talk, “Hey are you going to see your brothers tomorrow?”
At least that’s what he meant to say only with food in his mouth. Temari gave him a glare and he knew he had done something wrong.
“Don’t eat with your mouth full, I can’t understand you and it’s disgusting,” she said. Naruto blushed and gulped before saying his question again. “Oh, well I hope to. They’re going to be there at me swearing in so I’ll see how long they’re going to be here for.”
Naruto noticed the sad look on her face and he wondered how sad he would be if he had family he wouldn’t see. “It must be nice having a family.”
“Sometimes it is,” she smirked remembering times like when she caught Kankuro stealing her makeup for his ‘face paint’ years back. She also remembered how things were when Gaara was still young, before something broke in him and he became emotionless and murderous. Now she was going to miss out on all the things with her brothers and she wondered how much they would miss her.
“You’re lucky to have them,” Naruto said and she looked up to see a strange sight. It was a sad look on his face as he was playing with his food.
It just seemed...wrong, his face was made for happiness and joy and to see it like this just didn’t seem right with her. She knew that the boy had no other family and she couldn’t begin to understand how that was like. Plus he wasn’t too bad a guy, sure he was a loud mouthed idiot but he was actually kind of nice idiot. All day long he had been helpful to her and so maybe he wasn’t all bad.
“Well look at it this way, they’re going to be your family soon enough,” she said.
Naruto looked up at that, he never thought about it. That meant they would be his brothers in law, in a way he would have a family of his own. Sure it wasn’t what he always dreamed of but it was more than he had now, he smiled brightly as he thought about this.
“Thanks, Temari! I never thought about it, maybe later we can all get together then, I want to learn more about my new family.”
Temari shrugged, “Sure why not.”
The rest of the dinner wasn’t too bad after that, they talked a bit. Mainly he filled her in on the team members and warned her of a few things like how Kakashi usually was late. She told him a few things about herself as they got to know one another. Both were surprised when they realised they had been talking for a couple of hours. Temari had never actually met anyone interested in her life before, and the same was with Naruto. It was kind of nice for someone to take an interest in their lives for a change. Naruto as the village outcast had never had many people notice him, while Temari on the other hand as the daughter of a Kage and sister to the most feared person in her village didn’t leave many that wanted to be her friend.
Naruto offered to do the dishes, at first she thought that maybe she should do at least some work but he said that she had a longer day and it was nothing for him. It was true as he made more shadow clones as one washed, dried and put the plates away. She just shook her head, not understanding how he had the energy to keep making those clones. Although they were very handy to have around the house to say the least, they could have many chores done easily with them.
Temari headed to her room thinking on all that she learned about her future husband. He was still a mystery like to how when he looked so harmless he could be so powerful, how he could act like an idiot at times but then act smart, he was loud and sometimes obnoxious and yet he was kind and caring. She had some answers but it just seemed she also have much more questions. Well whatever it was tomorrow was another day and now she would learn more about her new team.
She sighed wondering if this would get any easier as time when on?
Next up chapter 5: The new Team 7
Sorry if the chapters seems kind of slow/dull but I needed for them to have a little start on getting used to each other. More interesting stuff will come later.
