Political Alliances
Chapter 8: Mr. Nice Guy
Naruto was standing in the Hokage’s office not even sure why he was called here. It had been after training when the message got to their team that he was to be called into the Hokage’s office as soon as possible. He was kind of disappointed that he had to since Temari had loosened up a bit since the pranking they had done and he had been wandering if he could have found something else fun for them to do. She seemed a bit more settled into things as well although she was still a bit serious but he hoped that he could help with that.
But now he was standing in front of Tsunade’s desk as she was going through a pile of papers that Shizune had put there.
“I can’t believe how much paper work this job has,” Tsunade muttered to herself. If she had known how much work this job had she might not have taken it.
“Someone arrested for public nudity, graffiti and above all two young kunoichi brawling in the streets,” Tsunade told Shizune as she was looking over the incident reports of yesterday. “I tell you I don’t remember things like that happening when I was in the village at least not this much happening.”
Naruto suddenly froze as he started nervously sweating, those sounded like the pranks he and Temari had pulled. He swallowed hard as he quickly out of habit scanned for all the possible exits he knew that he’d have to make a quick getaway if he needed it.
Tsunade gave a look at Naruto, “Why are you so tense? Aren’t things going well with Temari?”
Naruto suddenly realized that since she was so new at her job and to being back in the village his reputation for his pranks wasn’t known to her, at least yet. He figured as long as he didn’t say anything he was in the clear and then hoped that when she found out about his pranks she never thought back to this day.
“Oh yeah things are going okay, we’re training really hard and she’s showing me how to use wind nature although it’s kind of hard. I have to split a rock with my wind chakra and so far I can just put scratches on it.”
“Well nature elemental training was always pretty hard normally,” Tsunade told him.
“Then how come Sasuke-teme managed to use two different types?” Naruto sulked a bit.
“Uh...well...” Tsunade looked to Shizune for help but she quickly made it look like she was busy with looking over the paperwork in her arms.
‘Traitor,’ Tsunade thought darkly to herself before looking at a waiting Naruto. “Well kids like Sasuke are rare and besides his clan was always good with fire elemental jutsus so since he already knows how to use an element it’s easier once you find out what your secondary element affinity is.”
“Oh, I guess that makes sense,” Naruto thought to himself.
Tsunade was glad the explanation worked on him, she wasn’t sure using the term ‘genius’ or ‘prodigy’ would work with someone like Naruto. But now it was time to get to why she called him into her office.
“So Naruto do you like Temari?” the Hokage asked.
Naruto scratched the back of his head, “I guess so, I mean she’s teaching me some cool stuff, it’s nice not living alone anymore and thanks for the new home by the way. She’s kind of strict at times but I think I know how to loosen her up some.”
Tsunade sighed, “That’s not what I meant, and do you find her attractive?”
“W-what?” Naruto said blushing a bit.
“Naruto have you even tried to go on a date with her yet?” The older blonde asked the younger.
“Why would I? I mean we’re getting married so what’s the point?” Naruto asked honestly.
Tsunade felt like slamming her head into the desk at that point, how he could be so short sighted was beyond her. She had been hoping that he would make an effort to at least court the girl so that that something could develop but Naruto had no plans at all for it.
“Naruto just answer the question do you think she’s attractive?”
“W-well I guess so,” Naruto admitted.
“Look Naruto, you really don’t want to be put into a loveless marriage do you? Maybe at least make an effort to take her out for a date or something. You never know, something might happen and it would be better if you could love each other eventually as well.”Tsunade said gently to him. “I know this is hard but it will make this easier in the long run at least, plus it will make you both happier as well.”
Naruto looked down thinking about it, he never really did think about his life over the years. He might be able to live with just a marriage without love but in all honestly it wasn’t something to look forward to either. Naruto had to make a lot of changes in his life, some easier than others. He had done his best to give up on his quest to win Sakura over to him, although a part of him still cared for her and he doubt he would totally get over it. But was it really fair to live an entire life without trying to find some kind of love? Plus what about Temari, did she deserve the same fate?
He thought about his future wife, he would admit that physically she was pretty good. Her long legs were nice and he remembered how she looked coming out of the show with her hair all wet like that, he gulped at the memory. Okay sure he found her physically attractive and they were getting along, she had the same work ethic as him too which was nice.
“Well I guess I could try,” Naruto wondered out loud.
Tsunade smiled, “So what kind of plans do you have for her?”
“Well...I’m not sure I mean I never had a date do either of you have any ideas?”
Tsunade thought about it, it was better to get advice from them then someone like Jiraiya if he found out that he was looking for advice. “Well treat her nice, I mean take her out to dinner, or just for a walk. I remember a date with Dan, he showed up with my favourite flowers and we walked to his favourite spot. It was this little bridge overlooking a lake just as the sun was setting.”
She sighed remembering those days, “It was a beautiful moment and he would tell me how lucky he felt that he found me and said how he admired my abilities, my strength and my beauty.”
Tsunade sighed as a bit of a sadness hit her she missed him so much at times. He was the only man that she allowed herself to fall in love with but the pain of his death was just too much for her. She had stood over him, covered in his blood trying to save his life but she couldn’t, she couldn’t save her little brother who died on his first mission away from the village and she couldn’t save him even when she was there.
Shizune looked on in sympathy for Tsunade and the fact that Dan had been her uncle too, her parents had died when she was young and Dan had taken her in and when he had died, Tsunade had taken her in after that. After that they had spent the years looking after each other and was the closest thing to family she had in the world. She looked over at Naruto who was like a lovable kid brother to her lately.
“Naruto-kun, just remember that girls like to be treated well, complimented and try to be romantic if you can. Holding hands is a nice way to start and don’t forget to be a gentleman either like holding a door open for her, pulling out a seat for her or paying for the meal.” Shizune added.
“And when was the last time you went out on a date?” Tsunade asked with a sly smile.
Shizune flinched at that, “I-It’s not my fault, I just like a certain type!”
“Shizune if you keep those high standards you’ll never find a man,” the Hokage joked as Shizune hung her head in slight depression. She hadn’t even been with a man in two years and she hadn’t found the time to date in a long time. Naruto noticed the downward look on a woman that was like an older sister to him and he didn’t like it.
“Well she might have had the time if you didn’t drag her all over the place and running from all the people you owe money to, or dragging you home after you got drunk, baa-chan.” Naruto told the other blonde who had the good graces to blush at the mention of her less than honorable moments in her life. Shizune gave a small smile to the boy for sticking up for her and he did have a point too. With all the running around she had barely the time to date, hell she had left the village as a teenager and she still remembered that horrible night she decided to lose her virginity to a boy she met on the road in this village they had stopped at one night.
That hadn’t been a good time for her and she was glad when they left it far behind, thankfully the very few men she found later on were much better but she had never found ‘Mr. Right’ while on the road. Maybe it was something that she could finally get around to doing now that she was now living in one spot all the time.
Tsunade coughed trying to get her dignity back, “Well anyway try and at least make an effort with making a relationship, above all I just want you to be happy the best way I can.”
Naruto gave her one of his smaller but sincere smiles at that last part, it was good to know that there were people now that actually cared about him. Plus maybe he should at least try things out with Temari after all they would be living their entire lives with each other.
-Later-
Naruto went walking around the village trying to figure out things that Temari would like, so far he knew a few things about her and he was trying to figure out something nice that he could get her. Something that reminded her of her home would be perfect but looking around there wasn’t much he could find, plus he didn’t know all that much of Suna to being with other than what she had said and it was in a dessert. It was on his wondering that he noticed a flower shop and he suddenly was hit by an idea. He grinned widely as he ran to the store hoping they would be able to help him.
Inside the shop there was Ino Yamanaka, her mother had asked for help with the store today and since her team wasn’t doing anything she was the one currently working the counter. She didn’t mind it, she loved flowers and knew all kinds of information about them plus she had been helping with the family business for years anyway. Today hadn’t been too bad, it had a few slow periods but overall there had been enough people coming in so she wasn’t bored, she hated the slow days as it just seemed to drag on and she would rather train than just sit there doing nothing.
Plus after her match with Sakura in the chunin exams she had taken to thinking that she needed to train more, she had always been the stronger ninja but Sakura had beaten her to a tie and it was a wakeup call in a way. Although the other good thing that came out of it was that their old friendship had started to be repaired.
The door opened up with the familiar door chimes.
“Welcome to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, how can I help you?” She asked just on instinct before looking at the door.
“Ino?”
The blond looked over and was surprised to see Naruto of all people.
“What are you doing here?” Naruto asked.
“What do you mean, this is my family’s shop didn’t you know that?” Ino asked.
“Uh...” Naruto actually didn’t know that as he didn’t really read the sign he just saw the flowers and figured to go in. Plus he never knew that Ino’s family owned a shop at any rate.
Ino rolled her eyes and sighed, “Well what can I do for you anyway?”
“Oh right!” Naruto remembered why he came in here for. “Do you have any dessert lilies?”
Ino blinked surprised by that, “I’ll have to check that’s kind of a rare flower for here as it’s not really native to our climate. But give me a moment and I’ll see if I can find it.”
Naruto smiled broadly hoping that Ino had the flower, while she went into the back Naruto looked around. There were so many different types of flowers in fact he hadn’t know that there were so many flowers in the world as he looked around. When Ino came back she was carrying a potted plant.
“Well you’re in luck this is the only one we had,” Ino said as she put it on the counter, “why did you want such a rare plant anyway?”
“Well it’s for Temari,” he told her getting his frog wallet.
“Oh?” Ino said getting interested in this now, “So giving flowers to a girl is a major thing. You like her or something?”
“Uh, well, it’s just that, well...I was told by Tsunade-baachan that maybe I should try dating Temari before the wedding. These are actually her favourite flowers so I figured it would be a good start.”
“I’m surprised at you, I never figured you for someone that would be so romantic so where are you taking her, and please tell me you are not wearing that.” She pointed at his clothing.
Naruto frowned and looked at his favourite jump suit, “What’s wrong with this?”
“Where do I start?” Ino said dryly, “Look you want some advice for dating from a girl’s point of view?”
Naruto thought about it, he didn’t really know what he was doing but any helpful advice was good. Shizune and Tsunade had helped him out but he really wanted to get all the help he could get as he wanted this to go really well. Plus it wasn’t like he knew many girls that could help him out as well.
“Okay, so what do I need to know?” Naruto asked her eagerly.
Ino smirked as for the next few hours Naruto got more than he bargained for.
-Temari’s Room-
Temari sighed as she placed her battle fan against the wall and sat down, she had done some extra training with her fan to kill the afternoon and now she felt a bit tired. She looked in her mirror and her eyes went to the picture of her and her brothers. She had taken it before she left the village, in it she was giving a small smile, Kankuro was smirking and Gaara...well he looked as neutral as ever but you could tell he was more relaxed in the picture.
Placed near it was her old forehead protector, sometimes she would trace the outline of the symbol put on it as a reminder of where she came from. Not that she really needed it but it helped to ease the small pain of being away from home. She sighed and closed her eyes and for a moment she thought she could smell the scent of desert lilies.
‘Wait a minute,’ she thought as her eyes opened up. The smell was way too strong for a memory and she looked around and there by the window was a potted plant with of all things her favourite flowers. She sat there shocked and dumbfounded for a moment before going to it. She saw there was a card along with it and took it as she read it.
‘Hey Temari I hope you like the flowers I know you like them, if you’re not doing anything you want to go out tonight? I want to take you someplace special to me I’m getting some things ready just in case so I’ll be back before four.’
She smiled as it was sighed Naruto at the end, she had to admit this was one of the nicest things someone had done. She sniffed the flowers enjoying their scent it was a very thoughtful gift and she had to admit that she liked it. She looked back at the note and then read the last part over again as something hit her.
‘Is he asking me out?’ Temari thought looking at the wording. It sounded like it although she supposed it could have been taken the wrong way but why would he ask her out when they were already going to be married.
Unless maybe the boy actually liked her and wanted to ask her out that made Temari’s cheeks blush a bit mainly due to the fact that no one had even had the courage to ask her out before.
‘Maybe I’m just reading too much into it,’ Temari thought to herself but just in case she went to shower and change her clothing. She decided to pick something that was nice and yet not too nice, she wanted to look good because they were going out but not too much in case it wasn’t a date. By the time she was finished she was in a black version of one her dress that she wore when she first came to this village. There were a few differences but it still held a skirt and she wore a different pair of the leg stockings, a matching set on her legs that covered her legs. She decided just a slight shade of lip stick would be good enough and nothing else.
She checked the clock and found that she was going to run late and she was anything but someone that was late. Temari debated taking her fan but she doubted she would need it this time and went downstairs.
Naruto had been waiting hoping that Temari would agree to this then he heard someone coming down the stairs and looked up. As she came down the stairs he had to admit that she really was pretty, and black somehow looked good on her. He was glad that he took some of the advice that Ino told him and changed himself seeing how Temari looked a bit better than normal.
He had gotten rid of his favourite orange jump suit and went with some of the few clothing he did have that wasn’t that. He found an old pair of jean shorts and he wore his black t-shirt with the orange swirl marking on it. He also put away his headband for it as well.
Temari gave a small smile seeing Naruto out of his orange suit he looked different when not wearing that suit of his plus his hair looked a bit more wild without the headband there. She made a mental note to try and get him some more clothing one of these days.
“Thanks for the flowers,” Temari told him.
He gave a huge grin as he scratched the back of his head, “Glad you were happy with them I know how you missed your home and stuff and remembered how you talked about those flowers.”
“Well you didn’t have to go to all the trouble but thanks anyway. So what is this thing you had in mind for us?”
“Well...uh...” Naruto didn’t think this would be so hard after all they were going to be married right? But he could feel his face heating up a bit, “I just thought that we should try and...well, date.”
Temari raised an eyebrow at that she really hadn’t thought about it. Although it wasn’t like she had any experience with dating given her family no one had been brave enough to go and ask her out, so she ended up just giving up on dating and focused on her ninja training. Then the next thing she knew she was getting married and figured she would never have to go through it all. But now Naruto was asking her out on a date?
She felt a bit touched that he would ask that and was glad she dressed up a bit. She might as well try it as she figured this might be the only date she ever got in life.
“Alright, so what do you have in mind?” She asked surprising Naruto.
“Well come on I wanted to show you a special spot of mine,” He told her as he grabbed a few items that he had fixed up for it.
They eventually ended up on the Hokage monument on the top of the Fourth’s head. Temari had to admit that the last thing she thought he would take her was up here and also that he would be making a picnic of all things, she watched as Naruto set things up. Temari was also wondering if they were even allowed to do this and kept looking to see if any ANBU would be coming any minute to take them away.
“Hey it’s all ready,” Naruto called to her.
‘Well if we’re going to jail for this then we might as well get something to eat,’ Temari thought as she sat down next to him. Overall it was a nice set up and the view was nice up here, she looked at the food and it looked pretty good in fact it looked better than what Naruto normally cooked. She was wondering how he was able to cook so well until she noticed something in the basket.
“So you cooked this yourself?” she asked him.
“Oh yeah, I sure did. Pretty good huh?” Naruto asked her smiling proudly.
“Oh yeah if I didn’t know any better I would have sworn this was store bought stuff,” Temari told him giving him a sly smile.
Naruto stiffened a bit and gave a nervous laugh, “What? No way, why would you say that?”
Then Temari got a small smile and pulled out a cup that had a store brand name on it, Naruto gulped nervously as he mentally cursed himself for getting careless. He had thought he had managed to get rid of all of the things that would have shown where he bought the food.
“Don’t worry about it,” Temari told him putting it away, “it’s the thought that counts anyway.”
Naruto chuckled nervously, “Sorry I just wanted to make his nice, this is actually my first date with a girl.”
“Well it’s my first time too so don’t sweat it.” She said.
Naruto looked at her for a moment, “How come? I mean you’re smart, strong and...well...pretty. So how come you haven’t been on any dates before?”
She actually blushed a bit when he said she was pretty, no boy had actually done that before that she could think of. She looked down at her food to avoid him seeing it as she thought if she should tell him. In the end she decided she might as well and told her of how the boys were too intimidated by her to ask her to date. Naruto actually looked sad for that, he never figured that someone with a family could still be lonely and he could tell. From the way she talked about her childhood he could just tell, after all he had a lonely childhood himself and maybe that was why he could see that part of her as she was talking.
Naruto then brightened up, “Well then I guess I’ll just have to make it up to you by giving you the best dates I can do.” Then he looked a little uncertain, “That is if you still want to.”
“Well...so far it’s been nice,” Temari said not sure what she felt about it. “Let’s just play it by ear then. So this is your special spot huh?”
“Yeah,” Naruto’s face took on a more serious look as he looked over the village. “I sometimes come up here when I need to get away or to think. Plus looking over the village reminds me of my dream.”
“To be Hokage.” Temari stated.
Naruto nodded his head. “I originally wanted to be Hokage for people to recognize me and respect me but I learned that to be Hokage means more than that. It means that you put your life on the line to protect everyone in the village, and I know I’m not the smartest or the most well liked, but this is still my home and I’ll do everything to protect this village and my precious people.”
As he was talking the sun was setting down over the city casting a light over the area and from her viewpoint Naruto almost looked like he was bathed in light for a moment. The way the light hit him as he looked over the village for some reason captivated her as she listened to him.
“I promised myself that I would become greater than any of the other Hokages, to protect my precious people and to ensure that everyone in the village is protected and I always keep my promises, it’s my nindo my way of the ninja.
‘He really means it,’ Temari thought as she just stared at the genin in front of her. The look of intensity in his eyes were like a fire-no more like a maelstrom. That was the perfect thing for this boy, he was full of energy and power, he was unrelenting and never let anything get in his way. She remembered his fights against Gaara and how he had learned the Rasengan as well, there was so much potential in the boy and for some reasons she felt drawn to it. It was like a burning sun, full of light and power and above all warmth.
She felt her cheeks heat up slightly but then the light started to die down and the magic of the moment went with it. She controlled herself before he noticed and as they continued on she had to admit that he had got her interest. He was certainly not like other boys and maybe being married to him might not be so bad after all. It was still too soon to tell but for the first time she had hope that this wouldn’t be so bad an arrangement.
Naruto was glad that the first date had gone well, she had seemed to enjoy herself and it had been nice. He was happy that his first real date had gone so well, he had kept expecting something to go wrong but besides the fact she found out his little secret with the food it hadn’t been so bad. They had finished up and cleaned things up on his insistence (odd for a boy that once painted up the heads) but he had a new found respect for the Hokages since the Third had died and he wanted to keep it clean.
It was late by the time they got back and he was glad to see her actually smiling a bit so he guessed that she had enjoyed herself. He was about to put the basket away when he had to say goodnight to Temari first.
“So I hope you enjoyed tonight,” Naruto said a little nervously.
Temari gave him a small smile, “Yeah it was fun.”
“So...maybe you’d like to do it again sometime after all?”
To his surprised she bent down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, “I think I’ll enjoy it, goodnight.”
Naruto was blushing all over his face that was the first kiss he got from a girl. He was too stunned to say anything as Temari took pleasure in the fact she seemed to have that effect on him, after all it was nice for a girl to know she could get that kind of reaction out of a boy she was going to spend her life with. She walked away as she grinned at a thought to put a little extra sway in her hips as she walked up the stairs.
Naruto couldn’t help but look as she walked up, a small drop of blood was threatening to fall out of his nose. He quickly shook himself. ‘Damn it, stop acting like Ero-Sennin!’
Naruto went to put away the picnic stuff, and also maybe take a small cold shower as well.
