Political Alliances Chapter 7: Making Her Smile For the past week things had been going okay with her life, Temari was getting used to the village although it was still not her home. After her brothers and Baki had left she had felt very alone even with sharing a home. But at least Naruto turned out to be decent company. She had been also started with the wind training with Naruto although he was starting to have some trouble with it. She did her best to explain it but it seemed that Naruto worked best with simple instructions and then he could get along fine enough. In Suna when someone had wind elemental abilities you had to cut a rock with it. It wasn’t easy as a rock was very tough but once you did that anything else was child’s play. Basically you had to hold a rock in your hand and focus on the wind chakra and force it to cut the rock up. Temari had managed to do it after nearly six months of training she constantly made small cuts into her first rock over and over until it broke. Then she had to try and do it with less cuts each time until she could cut a rock with only one try. She had found out that typically in this village you would use a leaf but it wasn’t like there was much plant life in her home, you had to use what you could and with Naruto’s huge chakra she felt that a rock would be better to get him to do it properly. He was more of a blunt fighter anyway and with wind jutsus at his disposal he could be very devastating in battle, after all wind wasn’t called the battle element for nothing. Besides that it was just slightly odd living in the Leaf village, she got some cold looks but she was prepared for it. Although she would admit that it was kind of lonely but she was used to that as well. After all most of her life her father had been cold and distant, her younger brother obsessed over his puppets, her youngest brother had until recently been completely insane. Baki had been more teacher than friend and because of her Gaara and her status she didn’t have many friends. But at least she was in her own village, here she didn’t have the same sense of belonging that she had on her village. So she was currently lying on a small ledge looking outside the window of her room looking outside. She could smell the scent of the trees and flowers (she was surprised that Naruto actually gardened at least a little and had a hard time telling what was a weed and what was a plant) but she still missed the smell of desert lilies as well. While she was at the window Naruto was up in his room getting all the supplies he needed for the day. His team had the day off and Tsunade suggested to him that on days off he might as well get to know Temari more. Well given what he heard of her childhood being just as lonely as his, only less fun it seemed. Well he was going to fix that up, he put his supplies into a sealing scroll and he wished he had known this before. Knowing how to seal things up would have made his life so much easier and he was wondering why that was never taught in school? Maybe he’d ask Iruka next time he saw him, at any rate this would be a nice way of thanking Temari for showing him how to do it. He went in search of Temari as he had something planned out for the entire day, he found her in her room looking out the window. He paused for a moment as he just watched her, he guessed she was thinking about her home he would be if he was in her position. “Hey, Temari?” He asked. Temari looked over to him, “What’s up?” “You okay?” Naruto asked seeing the look of longing in her eyes. “I’m fine,” She said getting up and away from the window. Naruto was silent a moment as he looked at her, she was putting up a false face which was something he had a lot of experience in. He knew the signs of someone that was hiding any kind of pain as he used that same mask himself a lot of the time. “I know you miss your home and I’m sorry you had to leave it,” Naruto told her bluntly. Temari hadn’t thought she looked that transparent but she just shrugged it off, “Not your fault, sometimes you just have to take what life gives you. Nothing can change it so I’m not going to let it dominate my life.” “You know you never said but what are the things you miss the most?” Naruto was genuinely curious. “I mean I know what I would miss if I had to leave but I’ve never been to Suna.” Temari shrugged, “well there is a few things, there was this nice coffee shop that served this great stuff there. I miss the sunsets that I could see on the mountain ranges, in the right season the sands can look like they’re on fire for a moment. The way the west wind would bring the scent of desert lilies was also nice...” Temari lost herself in her memories of her home, sure it was a bit ‘desolate’ compared to other villages but it was still her home. Naruto could see the downcast look on her face and he figured that she really did need what he had planned out, plus he filed away those little pieces of information away for later as well. He went over and grabbed her hand surprising the taller blonde. “What the hell!?” Temari asked being dragged through the home. “Come on, you’re coming with me.” Naruto simply said as she nearly dragged her out the of the room, she barely managed to grab her fan before leaving as well. It wasn’t that she was expecting trouble it was just that she always went everywhere with it. It was when he finally stopped on the top of a building that she finally managed to get him to stop and explain. She wanted to know when why they had the day off he came and dragged her halfway across the village to some building looking around for someone. Naruto grinned at her, “Well you said that you never got to have any fun in your life.” “I said I never had a normal childhood and for the record I did have fun at times,” she said putting her hands on her hips. “Yeah but I doubt it was much, so I’m going to show you just how much fun you missed out on. One of the things I’m going to show you is how to pull pranks on people as well.” Naruto told her taking out a scroll. “This is stupid,” Temari said turning around to leave. “What you scared or just think that you can’t pull one off?” Naruto challenged her. He saw her pause in mid step and he knew that she was a very proud girl and like a lot of proud people couldn’t pass up a challenge to their pride, now he just needed to push her once more. “Plus I guess the fact that the first target is Shikamaru means nothing huh?” Temari turned around to see Naruto pointing in the distance. She took a long look and managed to spot the boy laying on some bench on the top of a building looking like he was sleeping of all things. An eyebrow started to tick on her head at that, she never did forgive him for that humiliation in the chunin exams. Their battle had been long but in the end he had out manoeuvred her the entire time, he had her in that shadow technique of his and what did he do? He gave up! Sure she technically won but she didn’t feel like it was a win, the fact that he didn’t like to ‘fight girls’ and how work was too ‘troublesome’ was also very irritation to her. The boy was just so lazy and a bit sexist in her opinion, plus the fact that he was the only one promoted to chunin and he still shirked off the responsibility. If she had been made a chunin she would have honoured the position and not sat around sleeping the day away. “What do you have planned?” she asked Naruto who just grinned a bit evilly. He pulled out a sealing scroll and suddenly in a cloud of smoke lots of hot air balloons tied down and other balloons that looked like they were filled with water. There were more of the hot air ones than the water ones and she was wondering what he was thinking of. “Can you make sure that these balloons float over him with your fan?” Naruto asked and then Temari suddenly got where this was going. She had a grin on her face as she quickly helped him to tie the hot air balloons to the water balloons. Over with Shikamaru he was enjoying a restful day, sure he was supposed to show up for a mission assignment at the Hokage’s office but she never did say when he had to show up. So he was taking his time enjoying the clouds as he liked to. He loved clouds, they were just so carefree and slowly did whatever they felt like doing, which was just floating along really. He closed his eyes listening to the wind gently blowing, then the wind picked up a bit he didn’t think much of it until a shadow fell across his face, he just thought a cloud got in front of the sun. “Now!” Yelled out a familiar voice. He opened his eyes just in time to see several suriken hit several balloons popping them, but then he noticed that several balloons were now falling which made no sense unless they were filled with... Splash! Shikamaru got up after the water balloons hit him and looked over seeing Naruto laughing his ass off with Temari who looked like she was enjoying herself. “What the hell Naruto?” Shikamaru yelled over to him. “Sorry, nothing personal just trying to show Temari the joys of pranking people, well got to go we got a lot more targets to hit,” Naruto called out as he and Temari ran off. Shikamaru sighed as he wiped the water off his face. He hated it when he got pulled into one of Naruto’s pranks, sure they were fun when they happened to other people but not to him, although he will admit that was a unique one. But still why did he have to ruin his cloud watching? He managed to get out of some work for Tsunade for the day and then that happened and worse he seemed to have recruited Temari of all people to help. Those two blondes together seemed to be just so troublesome. “Shikamaru, where the hell are you?” Ino’s voice yelled out from nearby. “Lady Tsunade asked me to come looking for you for work!” ‘Damn it,’ the young chunin sighed. ‘Figures that she would send Ino after me.’ “Shikamaru get out here now! I’m using my break time from the flower shop so you better get your lazy ass out here now or when I find you I’ll use my mind transfer jutsu and make you walk to the Hokage’s office myself!” The thing was, he knew that she wasn’t bluffing. He sighed as he got up off his spot as now his whole day was ruined. “First Tsunade, then Naruto and Temari and now Ino,” He muttered as he went to find Ino. “Why is it that besides my mom, the most troublesome people I know are blondes?” “There you are, where the hell were you..and why are you all wet?” Ino asked him when he saw her. He just muttered something about troublesome blondes and went to the Hokage’s tower. -Elsewhere- Hinata was walking the streets of her village she wasn’t really caring much where she was going. Her team had finished off with a mission and she had said her farewells. She just wanted to be alone for the moment, ever since Naruto’s announcement of his marriage she had been very depressed. She still broke down crying at times late at night in her room a few days, it just wasn’t fair. She should have said something to him all those years ago but she wasted all that time because she had been so shy, she was still shy and she hated being like that. What if she had found the courage to admit her feelings? If she and Naruto had been a couple then would have the Hokage refused it? Then there was the fact that her family would most likely not approve of Naruto, at least not before the chunin exams when he defeated Neji. She had seen how the village had changed a bit some people actually looked at Naruto without the cold looks although she still saw many that held whatever resentment they had. She never did figure out why so many people seemed to dislike Naruto so much. One of the reasons that she came up with was that maybe his family had fallen into some dishonour in the face of the village, it would explain much but she never heard of any Uzumaki family unless Naruto was the last. She found herself at the park for some reason she stood there watching everyone having a fun time. She saw families there, children at play and she felt a wave of sorrow over her. Her family wasn’t really that warm, they had to be the picture of perfection and nobility. Her own father trained her and her sister very hard because Hinata knew that the main branch had to be the strongest and she knew that she was a disappointment to the standards of her family. Although her father was cold he wasn’t totally abusive to her, it wasn’t like he hurt her physically but she did feel the pain of his disappointment in her. He always would say that she needed to be stronger, and she knew that he didn’t know that she had overheard what he had said to Kurenai on that day. She wanted to make her father proud of her to be stronger but she knew that she still had a ways to go. Looking at the children at play reminded her of her own lonely childhood she never had any friends really while growing up. Maybe that was one of the reasons she noticed Naruto at an early age, he was lonely just like she had been. He wanted to be noticed as well so he acted out and he trained himself so hard all the time. Hinata remembered the times she would secretly watch as he kept pushing himself long after others went home for the day. “Hey, Hinata.” She jumped as she was broken out of her thoughts as she turned around to see Kiba there with Akamaru. “K-Kiba-kun?” “We’ve all been a bit worried about you lately,” Kiba told her, “So I decided to see if you needed someone to talk to.” “T-thanks,” Hinata said giving a small smile as she looked back to the playground. Many of the children were leaving with family it seemed for the moment. Kiba stood beside her as she was looking over the playground wondering what she was looking at. He knew that she was really depressed over the whole marriage thing with Naruto. He never knew just how much she must have liked him until this whole thing turned up. He hated seeing her like this actually, she was just the most kindness person that he ever met. She didn’t deserve to be miserable like this. “So, what are you thinking about?” He asked. “Just...just thinking about when I was younger.” Kiba thought about it for a moment, “You know I can’t remember seeing you all that much outside of the academy.” Hinata jumped a bit as she looked down at her feet, he noticed the look and was worried. “I just figured you had your own friends to play with,” Kiba told her. Hinata’s mood got a bit darker, “I-I didn’t really make friends until I was put on Team 10.” Kiba was surprised by that, he figured that she would have had some friends, or at least some in her own clan. But the look on her face told him otherwise. He couldn’t remember seeing her playing with others when he was younger not that he looked for her. She was so quiet and she just blended into the background so much that you could easily miss overlook her. Now that they were put onto the same team he had taken notice of her, she had become his friend like Shino had and now he wished that he had been her friend when they were younger. Well if he couldn’t change the past he would at least give her something better for the present. “Come on with me,” Kiba said as he grabbed her hand and led her into the playground. “K-Kiba-kun?” she asked. “Let’s just say I want to make up for you missing out on a few things.” Kiba said as they got to a set of swings. He asked her to sit down and she nervously did although she did with a small smile. She knew that she might be a bit old for this but she never really got the chance to do something like this, in fact she had been too scared as a little girl to try it out. Kiba helped her when he figured out that she never been on a swing before so he got behind her and started pushing. Hinata had to admit it was fun, she had never had a friend to push her on one of these things and the feeling she got when she got up made her feel funny in her stomach area but in a good way. She saw Akamaru running below her barking as he would try and jump up to tap her feet so she tried to move her feet like targets for the pup. She actually laughed a bit and Kiba had heard her giggle but never really laugh before, it was a nice sound actually and for some reason made him smile. “Mommy aren’t they a bit big for swings?” A little boy asked his mother as they passed by them. The mother just smiled at her son, “Don’t point Kenji, just leave the young couple on their date.” At the word ‘date’ both young teens froze up, and it didn’t help that they froze with his hands resting on her hips. Both of them noticed this and blushed as Hinata jumped off the swings and Kiba put his hands behind him quickly. Both avoided looking at the other for a moment, Kiba just meant to cheer her up not make it look like he was dating her. “So...uh...you know,” Kiba wasn’t sure what to say at the moment and Akamaru gave a small whine and turned away, the little guy wasn’t going to help him out with this one it would seem. “T-Thank you Kiba-kun,” Hinata said quickly to avoid anything more embarrassing happened between them. She knew that he was just trying to cheer her up after all. Kiba blinked and then smiled at her, “Sure no problem, just remember if you’re ever sad or lonely me and Akamaru would be glad to help out.” Akamaru barked to let her know that he agreed with his master. Hinata smiled feeling a bit better now as she nodded her head. -Elsewhere- So far the blonde duo of Temari and Naruto had hit several targets throughout the day. Naruto felt good doing some pranks again he hadn’t the time since he made genin after all and he was well overdue. After they hit Shikamaru they went onto the rest of the town as well. Anko had been about to enjoy her dango when she took her first bite her mouth nearly caught on fire, she went to drink all the water she could, apparently the server had been Naruto in a henge while Temari had put the hot sauce on the dango. Naruto had been meaning to getting back at Anko for cutting his cheek and freaking him out during the chunin exams. They later hit Kakashi, posing as a kid and their cat stuck in a tree, the jonin had left with several scratches on his mask because of it. A couple of the more stuck up Hyugas from the main branch ended up with paints of all different colors all over them. A person who had made a anti-Suna remark against Temari ended up hanging upside down with their pants around their ankles. A few other things as well before they took a break, they were resting on a bench and Temari had to admit she had a lot of fun, despite herself. “See, told ya it was fun,” Naruto said grinning at her. “Okay, okay so you were right,” Temari told him still smiling. It felt good in a way to cut loose, she never got the chance to do anything like that plus Naruto was very good at it. “How often did you do this?” “Oh I used to prank people all the time,” Naruto said proudly. “A few times I never even got caught, but my best prank was the one I pulled before I graduated.” “Do I want to know?” She asked in good humor. “See that mountain range with the faces of all the Hokages?” Naruto asked her. “I painted it all up after an hour I had to get up early for that one but it was worth it.” “You didn’t.” Temari said both shocked and impressed that he was able to do that without anyone seeing him until it was done. “I had jonins, chunins and ANBU chasing me for over an hour!” Naruto laughed and despite herself Temari gave a small laugh at that as well. She was starting to see that surprising people was a trait that Naruto had, she never would have done anything like that back home. Her father would have been so angry with her is she had painted up the side of the rock wall that shielded their village. “Well if it isn’t the dead last and the Suna girl,” a slightly annoying female voice said and instantly Naruto’s mood dropped. He looked and was surprised to see two girls both of them had been in his class. One was Amy and he thought the other was named Haruka. Both of them were die hard members of the Sasuke fan club in fact Amy was kind of a bully in class and picked on others. “Man I’m not surprised that you get the job of marrying this girl,” Haruka said grinning. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Naruto asked her angrily, he never liked these two. “That of course the dead last would get chosen for such a horrible fate, I mean to marry this girl is laughable. She’s just a peace offering so our village doesn’t crush hers, although they certainly deserve it for betraying us like they did,” Amy said in a dark tone. “First off ‘little girl’,” Temari said standing up to her full height which was at least a foot taller than the other girl. “My father was murdered and replaced by Orochimaru and tricked us into his plans, and as for Naruto I don’t know why you don’t thank him as he’s the one that save your village from my brother Gaara.” “Oh please like he could have done anything,” Haruka said waving it away, “I bet he only got in Sasuke-kun’s way when he fought.” “The Uchiha?” Temari actually laughed at that, “He couldn’t land a blow on my brother and Naruto was the one that beat Gaara, I should know as I was there watching it all and let me tell you both something, he’s a lot stronger than the Uchiha boy.” “I don’t think so!” Amy yelled out at her. “No one is better than Sasuke-kun!” “Yeah!” Haruka said. “Come on Temari let’s get out of here,” Naruto said as he gently grabbed her wrist and led her away. Temari was fuming it was bad enough a couple of arrogant bitches were bad mouthing her village, but how could Naruto stand that kind of verbal abuse like that? He was clearly stronger in her view, but why did those girls not know that? Maybe it was because they were blinded by their views of Sasuke Uchiha, she had seen this all too often in her own village. Girls like that made her sick as they weren’t wroth being ninja in her opinions, and to top it all off they hadn’t even been in the chunin exams, and Naruto had gotten into the finals on his first try. So there was no way they could look down at him as he had accomplished more than they most likely had. She was about to demand why he didn’t let her just trash those girls when she noticed the evil smirk on his face. “What are you planning?” Temari narrowed her eyes. Naruto’s grin only grew, “Why fight them when we can just get even?” Later that day Amy was walking through the village, she was still smirking about putting that Suna girl in her place, she would never forgive the Suna for what they had done. For one thing her home had been one of the buildings damaged and her family had to start over again. It wasn’t fun and she had a lot of good memories of her home, she was about to see how her mother was doing when she froze in horror. There not twelve feet away was Haruka and Sasuke of all people and they were hugging each other! “Oh Sasuke-kun I’m so glad that you agreed to go out with me,” Haruka smiled at the boy. “I couldn’t stand it anymore, you’re the most beautiful girl in the village.” Sasuke said. “Better than Amy?” “Oh please that hag couldn’t compare to you, Haruka-chan.” Sasuke said as she sighed. “She is pretty ugly huh?” Haruka said as both laughed. They didn’t see Amy as she had ducked around the corner of a building to hear them but she was gritting her teeth now. She couldn’t believe that Haruka would say that about her let alone steal her Sasuke-kun. “Meet me at the park in an hour okay?” Sasuke asked. “Sure thing,” Haruka said happily. That was enough for Amy as she stormed off, if Haruka was thinking she was getting away with this then she had another thing coming. When she was out of site both Sasuke and Haruka smiled as in a puff of smoke there stood both Naruto and Temari. “Okay we got one now we just need to get the other one,” Naruto grinned as Temari matched it. An hour later both Temari and Naruto were waiting in the trees for their targets, they had pretty much pulled the same stunt with Haruka so now they just had to wait for them to meet up and for the fireworks to start off. Temari had to admit this way of revenge was more work but it was a lot more fun, plus they couldn’t get into trouble for it. While doing this she figured that her beating the hell out of a couple of genin (even if they had it coming) would look bad so this way both girls got what was coming to them and she and Naruto were just looking on being innocent of the whole affair. “Hey I think I see target one,” Naruto smiled. “And there is the other one,” Temari said pointing as the other was walking in the opposite way towards them. When both girls saw each other it took only for a second before both of them grew furious seeing the other girl. “You bitch!” both girls yelled out as they started the verbal fighting, this caused many on lookers. Both were saying how the other was a two timer, a bad stabber, and every other name they could think of. When one of them called the other a whore...well that was it. The fight became physical at that point as the girls went to the ground clawing at each other. This caused a few boys their age to stop, many started whistling and cat calling at the cat fight started up but a few chunins were in the area and pulled the girls apart eventually, although they were still kicking and screaming at the other while being held back. “Well I was hoping they would be able to fight some more but over all I think it was good,” Naruto said smiling. Temari smiled and shook her head, “Remind me never to get you pissed off to prank me, in fact you ever do and I find out about it you better run.” Naruto smiled nervously and scratched the back of his head, “Oh come on I would never do that to you what kind of guy do you think I am?” Temari gave him a deadpan expression as she pointed at the two girls and Naruto had to admit she made a good point. “Okay I promise that I’ll never prank you...at least nothing horrible like that.” Naruto said as he wanted to make sure he could keep that promise. “You better keep that promise,” she said. “Hey I always keep my promise, it’s part of my ninja code,” Naruto said proudly. Temari gave a small smile, “Alright then, well let’s eat.” “Alright! Race you to the ramen stand!” Naruto jumped out of the tree heading for his usual eating place. “Huh, Naruto get back here!” Temari yelled out as she had to run after the boy, she had never agreed to ramen and if he got to that stand first she couldn’t talk him out of it. They had eaten there last night and she was trying to get him to eat different foods, and for some strange reason she felt that he planned this part out as well. She grinned as she chased after him, ‘looks like you’ll keep me on my toes Naruto.’ She was looking forward to the challenge that he looked like he was going to give her in life. She thought Shikamaru was smart but Naruto took surprising to a whole new level. Next up Chapter 8: Mr. Nice Guy
