Author’s Note – I have to make an amendment in regard to the history of the bijuu; apparently, Uzumaki Mito was married to the Shodaime, not the Nidaime. Thank you so much for pointing that out to me! This is what happens when I write when I don’t have internet and don’t have access to my research sites! I humbly apologize for the mistake.
Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. You guys are truly an amazing inspiration!

Chapter Five – Important Decisions
Once the crying jag had ended, Haku cleaned his mate’s face with the handkerchief he often kept with him and gave the smaller boy a hug. Naruto clung to him for a moment, and the two of them simply held each other before the Hokage called for attention again.
“There’s a few more things that we need to talk about, Naru-chan,” he told him, eyes softening at the sight of the small boy cuddled up into the older one.
“What is it, Jii-chan,” he asked, hoping that it wasn’t bad news. The fair haired child wasn’t exactly sure how much more he could take today.
“The reason you have been living under your mother’s name is to protect you from your father’s enemies; Minato and Kushina both stipulated in their wills that you had to be a chunin or married before all of this information was given to you regarding your parentage as well as giving you your inheritance.
“The bonding with Haku-kun means you two are married,” he told the boy, who tilted his head.
“Does that means we’re a family now,” he asked the male he trusted. “Like the married couples in the village?”
“Exactly so,” Sandaime told him, pleased the boy understood. “So things are going to change for you. Firstly, your name will change to your father’s last name, just like he wanted. Haku-kun’s name will too so that people will know you’re married.
“You will be living with Haku-kun and his father at the Hyuuga clan’s compound,” he continued. “Zabuza-san used to be a shinobi with Mizu no Kuni and moved to Konoha so his son could grow up without fear. Mizu isn’t too kind to those with kekkei genkai, and Haku-kun wasn’t safe there. So he has immigrated to Konoha and is going through a probationary period until he can be a full shinobi here.”
“So I don’t have to stay at the apartment now,” he asked, tilting his head again.
“No, Naru-chan, you don’t. Zabuza-san and Hyuuga Hiashi-sama will take care of you both and ensure you learn what you need to protect yourself, your family, and the village,” he answered. “You still want to be a shinobi, right?”
“I do, I want to protect the village like my parents did,” the blond informed him soberly. “I have people who see me, and I want them to be safe.”
“Will you work hard, Naruto-kun,” Zabuza asked, leaning forward to meet the boy’s eyes. “There will be people who will say you can’t do it, that you shouldn’t do it because of what they think you are or because you are the last living link to the Yondaime. There will be a lot of doubts from other people and yourself. Are you strong enough to work through all of that?”
“Yes sir,” he answered, meeting the shinobi’s eyes. Everyone in the room could hear the determination in his voice, and Hiashi was reminded of his teammate as he watched the boy.
“All right then, Namikaze Naruto. I’m Momochi Zabuza, your father-in-law, and I will ensure you become the best man and shinobi you can be. You work hard, and I will work hard with you. You have my word on that,” he told him.
Hiashi looked at the boys, a soft look on his face. It felt good being able to help the child of his friends and not be hindered by outside influences.
“I’ll teach you what you need to know to be a good clan head,” he told the two. “You will have duties to those who need the Namikaze protection as well as the village. There’s a seat on the council you will fill once you become old enough, usually Genin age.”
“It’s been empty all this time,” Naruto asked, a little confused but wondering if having his father’s seat empty was good for the village.
“I’m afraid so,” the Hokage answered from where he was doing the paperwork needed to change Naruto’s name as well as Haku’s. There was also a marriage certificate, authorization of Minato’s estate being handled, as well as the paperwork for Zabuza.
“Hokage-jii, does that hurt the village? Having it empty I mean?”
“It doesn’t hurt the village, but it doesn’t help either,” he replied, looking up from his work. “There are times having a voice there would help when there’s a tie in the vote. There’s some clans that traditionally back the Namikaze, and they really haven’t had leadership.”
Naruto chewed on his lower lip, thinking things through. He was a smart boy, despite his young age, and he looked back at the leader.
“Can someone sit there for me until I get old enough? Hyuuga-sama said he’d teach me so whoever sat there could talk to me with him there and make sure I know what’s going on.”
“Actually, Naru-chan, you can do that but it can’t be me. It’s called having a proxy,” the old man explained. “It’s the responsibility of the proxy to tell you what’s going on, why this is good or bad, and see what your thoughts are on it before voting.”
“Can I ask anyone to do it?”
“As long as they are citizens of Konoha,” he told the boy, watching him with twinkling eyes as the boy looked to Hiashi and Zabuza.
“Zabuza-sensei isn’t a citizen yet so I can’t ask him but Hyuuga-sama, you said you were my dad’s friend?”
“He called me his best friend,” the clan head answered, meeting the boy’s eyes. “I was honored to be that for him, and I called him my best and closest friend.”
“So you know how he would vote if he were still here,” he asked, surprising the man with his insight.
“I do,” Hiashi replied soberly. “In fact, our political thoughts were very similar.”
“If I ask you to hold this proxy, would you promise that you would vote in the way my dad would if he were here? To do what is best for the village and her people?”
The pale eyed man was struck by the thought of just how much like his best friend this little boy was. Minato would have been very proud of his son, and Hiashi swore to himself that this child would continue to follow in his father’s footsteps to become an honorable man.
“I would,” he told the child. “To honor your father, his beliefs, and his family, I would make that promise to you.”
The boy chewed his lip for a moment, looking at Haku. The older boy smiled and nodded, knowing his mate was on the right track there. All the child needed was encouragement, which he got from the dark haired boy.
“Hyuuga-sama, will you please become proxy for my clan’s seat until I am old enough to take it? Will you promise me to vote in the way my dad would and keep our home safe?”
“Namikaze Naruto-sama, I would be honored to do this for you and ensure the values of your family are able to influence our government,” he told the child, who gave him a shy nod.
“Thank you,” Naruto said to him, giving him a bright smile that the usually stoic man returned.
“Thank you for trusting me with this,” Hiashi told him. “I also promise to talk to you about what’s going on and see what you think is the right thing. We’ll discuss what should be done and help you learn what you need to do in the future.”
“Like I told Zabuza-sensei, I’ll work hard,” he answered, sounding truthful and earnest.
“Of that, I have no doubt,” he told the boy, then looked to the Hokage. “How do you want to handle all of this?”
“I’ll be sending all of the documentation to the daimyo today,” the older man answered. “I’m debating on how to handle the joint council session. The shinobi council won’t be a problem; it’s the civilian council that will try to pitch a fit.”
“I suggest bringing the shinobi council in first since the Namikaze clan has always been a shinobi clan,” Hiashi informed him. “I can brief Naruto-san on which clans held an alliance with his and let him know which of those are trustworthy now. He can claim his status and then name his proxy. You can back him up with proof. The Anbu who controlled the mob today will be able to verify the visible chakra activity of the bonding, and then I can confirm the results.”
“I think that will work,” he said. “Can you both boys outfitted by tomorrow? I’ll let the bank know about you and Zabuza taking guardianship so you can draw a weekly amount for what he needs. We’ll deal with the estate itself later in the week.”
“I’ll have them ready,” he answered, knowing that Naruto’s spouse would need to be there as well. It would probably help the blond child feel a bit steadier when in public.
“Right,” he commented, looking over to the boys. “I have almost everything done, but I need you two for a moment.”
Naruto slid off of Haku’s lap, watching as the other boy climbed off of the couch. Unconsciously, their hands joined together as they headed to the large desk.
“The chakra bonding makes the marriage official,” he told the two. “I just need for you to sign the marriage certificate. The adults will be your witnesses. Later, when you’re older, if you want a commitment ceremony, we can do so.”
The long haired boy nodded, giving a small bow.
“Thank you, Hokage-sama. I think we may want that when we’re older and ready to do so,” he told him. “Where do you want us to sign?”
Sarutobi moved the scroll closer to the boy, handing him the pen and pointing to the line. He watched as the child wrote his name with beautiful penmanship, then chuckled when Haku looked to his father.
“It’s going to be strange writing another name after this,” he said to him, making Zabuza chuckle.
“Even though you’re a Namikaze now, you’re still a Momochi at heart,” he teased, making the boy smile brightly at him.
“All right, Naru-chan, your turn,” the Sandaime said, boosting the child up so he could see the paper. “This is the name you’ll sign,” he told him, pointing to where he had written the name change document so the boy could see the kanji for his new last name.
Naruto carefully wrote out his new name, beaming up at the old man when he didn’t mess up. The Hokage chuckled, hugging the child he loved as a grandson.
“Congratulations to both of you,” he told the boys, letting the blond child scramble off of his lap. He copied the documents, ensuring several copies were made.
“I want to make sure we don’t have issues,” he said, handing each adult a copy of the marriage certificate, authorization of Naruto’s inheritance, name change documentation, and the paperwork Zabuza would need. “One set goes to the daimyo, who will protect it. One will go into the public archive and another to the Anbu archive. I’d rather each of you keeps a set for protection. One never knows.”
Both men nodded, taking the scroll, and Zabuza was handed the storage scroll that contained Kubikiribocho.
“Once the probation period is over, we’ll assign you duties and discuss the idea of a specialty unit like the swordsman group Mizu has. I have at least one swordsman that would work well with that, but we’ll talk about it later. We’ll also see about housing once the period is over too,” the Hokage said, giving a small smile to them. “Hiashi, I shall see you, Naru-chan, and Haku-kun tomorrow at the shinobi council. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a team I need to meet with about dereliction of duty.”
After bowing, the two men gently herded the children out of the Hokage’s office and spotted a team waiting anxiously in the ante-chamber.
“I wouldn’t want to be those three right now,” the former Mizu shinobi commented to his host, who gave a grim smile in return.
“Nor would I,” he commented. “I’ll be following up on whatever punishment Hokage-sama gives them because one member of that team is a Hyuuga. He should know better,” the clan leader replied, looking displeased.
“Let me guess, standing orders to watch over Naruto-kun?”
“Exactly, and I do not take the abandonment of duty lightly,” Hiashi said to him as they headed out of the tower. “Naruto-san, is there anything in your apartment that is special to you?”
“Just my nightcap,” he said softly. “Inu gave it to me when I was having nightmares, and it helps a lot.”
“I’ll send someone for it,” he promised, guiding them to the compound where they would be residing for the time being. “You’ll be staying in my house for now until Momochi-san’s probationary period has passed. My two daughters and my nephew live with me so you two boys won’t be lacking for company. I’m hoping you’ll be good friends with them in time.”
Haku listened to the man, contemplating the memories of the past. Neji had wound up being Naruto’s best friend after the wretched Uchiha had abandoned the village, and it would be good for both boys to form the bond earlier. It was possible Naruto’s influence would keep Neji from going down the dark path that the blond had to beat him out of during the Chunin exams. Hyuuga Hinata would also be affected by this proximity too, and that would also provide a good friendship for him and her.
He sighed softly, knowing he would need to talk to Zabuza about what should be done regarding the Uchiha. Keeping both of the brothers out of Akatsuki would make things easier but he wasn’t sure what they should do.
Haku gave a silent prayer to Inari, Suijin, and Fujin for wisdom and patience, knowing that he and his father would have to tread carefully to ensure that the future did not follow what they had seen. History could not be repeated, and he would do everything he could to ensure that it didn’t.
