Back at the Hyuuga palace.

Hiashi and Hina were now entirely focused on leaving this village, that they had forgotten about the Solkvore clan.

They had made sure that Chris planted a teleportation seal on a bunch of the Hyuuga members. Chris made sure that none of them had done anything bad to Naruto before. He would ask them a simple question about Naruto, and would see how they would react.

For those who knew that Chris was a friend of Naruto, they didn’t say anything bad about him, and just complimented him instead.

I don’t care if they lie to me, as long as they did nothing to him, then I would add a teleportation seal on them.

After adding a teleportation seal to almost every single Hyuuga member, I decided to go to visit Hinata, Naruto and Hanabi. I wonder what they are doing?

While walking, I saw Hiashi talking to somebody outside the front door. Hiashi was talking to someone I have never met before. But, I could tell that he was a member of the Solkvore kingdom, from the Solkvore symbol on his right chest.

The symbol was engraved in his clothing, and it sparkled like gold glitter when it came in contact with the sun rays.

I could vaguely hear what they were talking about.

“Tomorrow?! Are you certain that is what he said?” (Hiashi) asked to be sure. They were talking about the marriages being held tomorrow. But a hint of anger could still be seen on his eyes. He will never forgive the fire Daimyo for tricking him like that.

“Yes, I am a hundred percent certain lord Sheldon ordered me to deliver this message to you.” (Wu)

Hiashi didn't say anything else. He closed the door in front of Wu’a face, not even caring if he was a servant of the Solkvore kingdom.

He has been thinking a lot, and he made up his mind to escape from Konoha.

Even if he was super stubborn, he knows just how stupid it is to protect your honour, if you don't even try to protect your family.

He was planning on staying behind to fight for the leaf, when it gets raided by either Kumo, or the alien.

But that would be stupid on his part. He didn't want to die. He wanted to see his grandchildren, and to spend time with his family as much as he can.

He decided this not as the leader of the proud Hyuuga clan, but as a loving father, and a caring brother.

He was not ready to meet his brother in the afterlife, not yet.

After he made this decision, he doesn't see Solkvore as a threat anymore, but more like a small mosquito bite that will disappear over time.

When he shut the door on Wu, he had never felt more alive. He would always be respectful to other clan members, but today that has changed.

I on the other hand, smiled. I was worried that Hiashi would stay behind to protect Konoha for some stupid reason, but it looks like he is smarter than I thought.

I have been adding seals to people the whole entire day. As a blood puppet, I cannot get tired. But looking up to the sky, it was almost night time, and I needed to ‘sleep’

I needed to at least pretend that the real Chris is still here, so they don't get suspicious.

I have tried contacting my original body, but to no avail. I even tried contacting the other blood puppet, but it was no use as well.

Knowing the real me, he is probably busy.

I walked up to Hinata's room. Inside, I could hear 4 different voices coming from Hinata's room.

I heard a bunch of laughter. I slided the door open, and found Hinata, Hanabi, Luna, and Naruto were all having a good time together.

“Onii-chan!” (Hanabi) ran cutely as she ran to me with her arms stretched.

Just like every other time, she launched herself at me, and I pick her up. This routine is something that we will never get bored of.

“Tell Luna, that you are gonna marry me!” (Hanabi) said as she pointed her finger at Luna from across the room.

Hanabi still thinks that we are gonna get married for real. I only said that to make her feel better.

A few hours ago, after Hinata had brought Naruto and Hanabi to her room, she remembered that Luna is probably alone in her room.

Luna was practicing her moves inside her room the whole time she was there. She will put as much effort as she can to get stronger, to keep protecting her friends.

Smelling like sweat, she took a shower after she had finished practicing. After that, is when Hinata invited her over to her room.

It's not the first time that Hinata has invited Luna to hang out with her, but she was still kind of surprised.

Still with a wet towel on her head, she dressed in a blue Hyuuga robe, with only her pyjamas underneath it,

When Hanabi saw Luna coming here, her cheeks puffed a little.

Hanabi knew that Chris and Luna were hanging out a lot, and she saw them kissing and holding hands a lot this past month.

She never gave her much thought, until now after she thinks she should be the one to marry her Onii-chan.

Shortly after she entered the room, she now saw Luna as her nemesis. Girls at her age, are more territorial and possessive over things, and sometimes even people.

Hanabi still had yet to learn the meaning of ‘sharing is caring’ but she is too young to care.

Luna’s eyes landed in Naruto, and was a shocked to see him here. After the fight with Gaara, her vision of him changed for the better.

Everyone but Hanabi was in a good mood. She kept glaring at Luna as if she wanted to stab her with her eyes alone.

Luna noticed Hanabi looking at her like that, but paid no mind to it at all. After a while, Hanabi still gave her that look.

Even though her and Hanabi rarely hang out, she still saw her as a sister, because Chris also sees her as nothing more than a sister.

After she asked Hanabi; why she was looking at her like that? she said.

“I won't let you have my Onii-chan.” (Hanabi) stated that very clearly.

Naruto is still very dull, so he didn't really get what Hanabi just said.

Hinata sighed at Hanabi’s innocence. She could tell that Hanabi really likes her Onii-chan, but only like a kid who likes a toy, that is how she likes Chris. And Chris doesn't see her more than a cute little sister, who needs attention from her brother.

Luna didn't get what she meant, as she wasn't there when Naruto was tied up by Hina and such. She didn't really put Hanabi’s words by heart.

After a while, they had a good time and that is when Chris entered the room.

After that, Hanabi jumped into his arms tone caught by her Onii-chan while in mid-air.

“Tell Luna, that you're gonna marry me!” (Hanabi) pointed at Luna.

The blood puppet looked at Hanabi for a while. He smiled at her and said.

“Of course I'm gonna marry you.” (Chris)

Hanabi was very happy that he said that in front of Luna.

Chris looked at Luna, and sighed a little. He could tell Luna thought that Hanabi was just joking, and Chris too. Luna thought that this is something that most kids Hanabi's age do.

*Woof* *Woof* a dog suddenly ran through that sliding door that Chris left open by accident.

The dog only focused on one person in the room, and that was Luna.

Akamaru ran around Luna in circles, hoping that she would play with him.

“Akamaru! I haven't seen you since the attack. I am thankful that you are okay.” (Luna) started scratching Akamaru softy.

Akamaru seemed to always enjoy Luna’s constant petting, as he then turned around and showed her his tummy to pet it there.

I just looked at Akamaru, and couldn't help but frown.

‘I am the reason why you're here today with Luna, and yet you don't even acknowledge me! Your true owner’ I thought.

It's true what they say. “Hoes before bros”

… you bastard.

When Hanabi saw Akamaru enter the room, she wanted to jump off me to play with Akamaru. But now, she had second thoughts when she saw Luna petting him. Hanabi didn't even want to get close to her.

Naruto though that Akamaru looked very familiar. After Akamaru was tamed by Chris after the second round of the Chuunin exam, it was the day Chris became his owner.

Naruto had to leave that day with Jiraiya to find Tsunade. Meaning that he was unaware of the changes that had happened this month.

Naruto kept scratching his head. He just couldn't remember where he last saw Akamaru.

After a few seconds, Luna had realized something.

“Sorry, Hinata. I forgot that your house doesn't let dogs inside.” (Luna) said very apologetically.

The Hyuuga clan had very strict rules when it came to pets. Unless if it is a summoning animal, they won't allow pets in here.

She picked up Akamaru and had tried to bring him outside the Hyuuga palace. She felt bad that Akamaru had to be alone outside, so she had made up her mind to spend some time with him outside the Hyuuga compound.

Hinata stopped her in her tracks.

“It's okay, Luna. He can stay here.” (Hinata) said very fast.

Hinata was also very respectful of the Hyuuga rules here. But, she was more worried about that fact if Luna were to accidentally ecounter a Solkvore member outside.

Only Hina, Hiashi, and Chris  knew that they were gonna leave this village sooner or later.

Chris had send a couple of shadow clones in his place, to apply seals to whoever Hiashi and Hina wanted to be saved from the future disaster.

Honestly, Chris doesn't really care for those strange people at all, he just doesn't want Hina and Hiashi to see him differently for not trying to save their own friends.

He has already seen those two more than contributors, he sees them as his own family as well. Which, if you think about it, that would also make Hinata his sister… I don’t know, its too confusing.

“Are you sure? Hinata?” (Luna) asked a bit surprised.

“Of course I am. I'm sure that nobody would really mind.” (Hinata) said.

‘Is no one wondering how Akamaru got here in the first place? Sure, he might be a ninja dog, which automatically makes him stronger, faster, and smarter than ordinary dogs. But, that still doesn’t explain how he get in here?’ I thought

Luna was happy that HInata didn’t mind Akamaru staying here. She was happy to have a friend like Hinata.

“Woof! Woof!” (Akamaru)

Akamaru seemed to understand what Hinata meant. He jumped off Luna’s arms, and ran straight towards Hinata and licked her face. This was his way of saying “Thank you.”

“Heh heh, stop Akamaru! That tickles!” (Hinata) seemed to enjoy Akamaru’s company a lot.

She was a bit hesitant to touch him, considering that it was Kiba’s pet, but that doesn't matter anymore. Akamaru has a new owner right right, and it is Chris and Luna.

As Hinata was playing with the happy dog, someone was getting jealous. Hanabi, wanted to pet Akamaru as well. As a girl, and a kid, she likes to pet animals a lot, especially if they are pretty.

All of a sudden, Naruto said. “Hey! I have an excellent idea.” (Naruto) raised his right hand high up. It was like he tried to answer a question in school.

“What is it?” (Chris)

“How ‘bout we have a sleepover right here.” (Naruto)

“Sleepover?” (Chris) I asked confused. Even the girls were confused at Naruto’s request.

It's not like they have never been in a sleepover. But, for girls and guys to be in a single room for a whole night, is a little bit awkward.

“Yeah. It's when a bunch of friends are together for a whole-” (Naruto)

I interrupted Naruto. “We know what a sleepover means. But why do you want a sleepover?” (Chris)

“Well… to be with my friends, of course. I have never been in a sleepover before, and I always wanted to do it with my closest friends.” (Naruto)

Hearing that Naruto has never been in a sleepover before, Hinata’s and Luna’s eyes watered a bit. Sometimes they forget that Naruto has a hard life.

Hanabi didn't really think much about it. She too has never been in a sleepover before.

However, hearing Naruto’s idea, glowing stars seemed to glow brightly on Hanabi’s eyes. She too has always wondered what it felt like to be in a sleepover.

“I don't know Naruto. I will have to ask my father for permission.” (Hinata)

“Uh, Hinata. Your father is a bit busy right now, meaning that you can't ask him for permission. How about Hina?” (Chris)

“Hina… it's just that, she might hurt Naruto is she knew he will stay in my room.” (Hinata)

Hinata thought of the possibility of Hina tying up Naruto all night, incase she thought Naruto might do something ‘weird’ to her.

“I am sure that she wouldn't mind you with us, but-” (Hinata)

“He can stay. I will allow it.” (Hina)

Hina just had happened to be outside the open door, when she heard about Naruto’s idea.

She felt a bit guilty for tying him up earlier, due to her misunderstanding.

“But, I will have a condition of my own!” (Hina) this condition was directed to Naruto only.

“Which is?” (Chris) I asked. Naruto was still a bit afraid of Hina.

“If I see him, do anything to my nieces, I will do so much more than simply binding him to the wall. Understand.” (Hina)

Her face was stern and serious. Even I, who has been living under the same roof as her for the last month, have never seen her in this state.

Only Hinata, and Hiashi have seen her in this state before. Hina had the same face when she had been training Hinata before the last round of the Chuunin exams.

*GULP!* “I understand miss!” (Naruto) a hint of fear could be heard from his tone.

“Chris!” (Hina)

“Hai?!” (Chris)

‘Huh? Why do I get that same feeling when my mom would call my name before?’ I thought to myself.

“I will leave you in charge that he doesn't do anything to Hinata.” (Hina)

“Okay!” (Chris) honestly, I have forgotten what it felt like to have a mom, but it felt nice to be reminded of that familiar feeling I had long forgotten.

Hina put her trust on me a lot. And even if I wasn't here, Hinata would have been more than enough to teach Naruto a lesson.

Hina gave Naruto a stern look, before walking away. She really doesn't approve of him at all. It's gonna take time for Hina to get used to Naruto.

“Why doesn't she like me?” (Naruto) finally felt safe enough to say something.

“It's not you Naruto… nevermind, I lied, it's totally you.” (Luna) she tried to comfort Naruto but first, but couldn't find the right words to say it.

“Great job at comforting Naruto, Luna.” (Chris) she just had to keep making Naruto feel bad about himself.

“Let's see you try to comfort him!” (Luna) was not gonna bow down, and gave me a small challenge instead.

“I will.” (Chris)

I slide over beside Naruto, and out my arm around his shoulder.

“I know why Hina doesn't like you Naruto.” (Chris)

“Why?” (Naruto)

Although Naruto has always been hated his whole life, this was different. He could not see nor feel any type of hatred towards him, it was more like fear or an uncomfortable feeling he felt from her, which was very new to him.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

It was the first time, that somebody is treating him bad, but not because of the nine-tails inside of him. It was for an entirely different reason, and he doesn't know why.

“Think of it this way Naruto. Let's say that you are eating a bowl of ramen, but a stranger comes out of nowhere and tried to take your ramen. What would you do to him?” (Chris)

“I would punch him in the face!” (Naruto) raised his voice a bit. Just the thought of that alone, is enough to trigger his hatred. Luckily, he doesn't need to worry about his hatred taking over, otherwise Hinata's room will be destroyed.

“Correct! Now let's say this. Hina, sees Hinata as her precious, and most delicious cup of ramen. But, she thought you would steal her from her. That is why she doesn't like you.” (Chris)

Naruto seemed to understand, as he hit his fist on his open hand I realization.

“Oh! I see. But why would she think I was stealing Hinata from her? I don't wanna steal Hinata, only being friends is good enough for me.” (Naruto)

Hinata looked at the ground. Not due to embarrassment, but because Naruto had just friendzoned her.

I tried to hold in my laughter. You would never have expected Naruto to friendzone his future wife.

As if you can laugh. How many times have you been friendzoned in your whole life.

First; shut up. Second, I don't keep score of being friendzoned, it brings back too many painful memories.

67.

What?

That is how many times you have been friendzoned before.

How do you know that?!

I'm a blue screen, which makes me omniscient for some reason… well, only about your past life. In short, I know everything that there was about your past life.

That is far too creepy.

Meh!

I then resumed with my chat with Naruto.

“Trust me Naruto. Just be yourself, and Hina will be nice to you.” (Chris)

“K.” (Naruto) responded with a smile as well.

“I'll go get my bedsheets!” (Hanabi) she ran barefooted to her room. She had always wanted to have a sleepover with people that aren't her family.

“I'll go get mine as well.” (Naruto) he seemed pretty excited as well. He stood up and left in a hurry. This is gonna be his first time sleeping over with his friends.

“Chris, we have a problem.” (Hinata)

“What is it?” (Chris)

“What do we do about the beds? I only have one bed in this room, but there are are five of us. What should we do?” (Hinata)

I looked over and pondered a bit. Then a thought popped up in my head.

“I know. How about we guys sleep on the floor, and you three girls sleep on the bed. Your room is pretty spacious, so we don't need to worry about space. And your bed is big enough for you, Hanabi and Luna to sleep comfortably.” (Chris)

“But… I-” (Hinata)

She thought that it would be bad for our healths if Naruto and I were to sleep on the cold, hard ground.

She was gonna propose another idea, but I interrupted.

“Or, do you want to share the same bed with Naruto, and Luna and I will sleep on the ground.” (Chris) I said in a teasing tone.

Hinata blushed at my idea. Luna bumped me in the shoulder for teasing her friend.

“Stop teasing Hinata like that, or I will never talk to you!” (Luna)

I raise my hands up as if I surrendered. “Okay, okay. Fine. I am sorry Hinata.” (Chris) Then someone entered Hinata’s room unannounced.

“Sorry to barge in, but have you seen Akamaru?” (Kat) appeared in our room, looking for Akamaru.

“Kat? What are you doing here?” (Chris) I think this is her first time ever visiting the Hyuuga palace.

“Well, long story short. I was gonna visit Luna, to see if she was okay. But, I saw Akamaru just outside the Hyuuga palace. It was pretty chilly outside, so brought him into the Hyuuga palace. Shortly after, he escaped from my grasp and ran to this room.” (Kat) explained.

‘Lies. Akamaru was nowhere near the Hyuuga palace, or I would have sensed him long ago. She must have brought Akamaru here as an excuse. And also, she must have abused her identity as a Senju member, otherwise nobody would have let Kat enter so late at night, with a dog.’ I smiled at her way of thinking.

“Why did you want to see if I was okay?” (Luna) asked confused.

Kat seemed puzzled at her. Hasn't Luna heard of the news yet?

She looked at me, with a look that basically said “why haven't you told her?” (Kat)

I don't think that the Solkvore clan is anything important right now. If it weren't for the over-powered alien, then the Solkvore and Kumogakure would have been the greatest threats right now.

And besides, we were gonna leave Konoha as soon as possible. Maybe even tomorrow.

Then I sensed something outside of the Hyuuga palace. I don't have that acute chakra sensing that my original body has, but I can still sense people a bit far.

I could sense it was 2 people, and they were waiting for someone to come out of the Hyuuga palace.

It doesn't take a genius to guess that they are from the Solkvore kingdom, but the question is, who were they waiting for?

It could be either Luna, Hanabi, Hinata. Or maybe, even Kat. I'll found out soon enough.

“You tell her the news, I need run a quick errand.” (Chris)

Before they could say anything, I left that room very quickly.

Kat frowned at me. Now she has to do the explaining to Luna. It looked like I ran from the room, to avoid telling Luna the news.

“Is there something that I should know?” (Luna) turned both sides to see if Hinata or Kat would tell her.

Kat looked at Hinata petting Akamaru’s fur. She let out a small sigh, then said.

“Just earlier today, a kingdom known as the Solkvore clan came to the leaf village…” (Kat)

While Kat was explaining everything to Luna, something else was happening not very far away.

Two men who were leaning on a building, that is literally across the Hyuuga palace, were chatting with each other while hanging out in a dark alley. You could tell that each one of them are from the Solkvore kingdom, as they had their symbol on their left chest.

“Why are we here again?” (Hao) someone by the name of Hao said.

“Because, lord Bradley ordered us to do so.” (Wu)

“What I meant was, why are we following his orders? I thought only Sheldon could give us orders?” (Hao)

“Because disrespecting his orders, are like ignoring lord Sheldon’s” (Wu)

“But still. Why do they get all the pretty girls? I mean, you and I have been single for years, and we had to work on finding pretty girls, and give them to them. It's very painful I tell you. I can't understand how your balls aren't purple by now.” (Hao)

“I know, Hao. You literally keep telling me the same thing over and over again. It's getting annoying to the point where I just wanna punch your balls.” (Wu) said in a irritated tone.

“Ouch! Thats cold.”(Hao)

“Meh.” (Wu)

“So… who's the unfortunate girl this time?” (Hao)

“Well, it's a girl with a wood style Kekkei Genkai. It was just announced that she comes from a strong bloodline.” (Wu)

“Another person with a powerful Kekkei Genkai. Why is lord Sheldon so adamant on his grandchildren marrying these people?” (Hao)

“You should know why by now. Didn't you attend the meeting a few months ago?” (Wu)

“Don't you remember, I had diarrhea that day, for drinking spoiled milk.” (Hao) shivered at remembering that time.

“Oh yeah. Well, I'll explain it to you then. Lord Sheldon thinks that his grandchildren are really strong, and talented in every way.” (Wu)

“Which they're not.” (Hao) those four grandchildren of his are failures. How does Sheldon not know about that?

“Quiet! You knew that we shouldn't talk about that!” (Wu)

“Okay okay… wait. AAHHHHH!!” (Hao)

They found themselves being tangled in very thick roots and leafs. Not only that, but they felt their chakra being drained from just those roots. Their mouths were covered with roots, so that they won't yell and cause a scene.

Of course, this was the work of Chris. He decided to quicken the pace a little bit, and ‘ask’ these two what they were looking for Kat.

The duo found themselves hanging from the air, unable to move or do anything. They were helpless before him.

“It's funny you know. I am just trying to have a nice sleepover with my friends, and all of a sudden, you plot to take them away from me.” (Chris)

He said that, as he put a truth seal on their foreheads.

“Now, I am gonna remove the roots from your mouths, and you will tell me everything I wanna know. Nod your head if you understand.” (Chris)

They both nodded their heads furiously.

“Good.” (Chris) I said as I removed the roots of their mouths.

The second I removed the roots, one of them tells out.

“HELP US!!! WE ARE DYING HERE!!!” (Hao)

He didn't want to scream for help, but he just saw a couple not that far away from their location. If he could get their attention, then those two will call for help.

“How about if we go back to my room. My parents aren't home yet.” (Stranger 1)

“You're drunk, aren't you?” (Stranger 2) the girl giggled at his comment.

They were both drunk that they didn't pay attention to them. And even if they weren't drunk, Chris had placed a seal around the place, not letting any sort of sound escape.

Hao saw the young couple walking away, with tears escaping from his eyes. He knew he had screwed up.

“You should know better, than to scream for help when you are tied up like that.” (Chris)

The next thing the man knew, the roots were now sucking up all of us chakra. If the roots manage to take all of his chakra, he will die. It will be like dying from chakra exhaustion.

After just a few seconds, the man turned into a lifeless corpse.

“Hao… Wake up! Please!” (Wu) almost couldn't believe it. He thought that as long as the were part of the Solkvore kingdom, then they would live comfortable and at peace.

But, who would have known that a kid would kill one of his own like that. Not only that, but Hao was his best friend in the Solkvore kingdom.

Wu wanted to scream, but didn't. Once he screams, he will die just like Hao.

“Planty, come and eat your late night dinner.” (Chris)

… nothing happened at all.

Planet usually comes out as soon as Chris calls him. Where could he be now?

Plenty would usually dispose of the crime evidence, but he isn't here this time.

“Oh well, he'll be back. Now talk!” (Chris)

“Okay… what do you want to know?” (Wu) he isn't a traitor, but the truth seal doesn't let him tell a lie to Chris.

“What I want to know is, why is your lord such an asshole?” (Chris)

“He was born that way.” (Wu)

Wu cursed himself. He has not once ever cursed at lord Sheldon.

“Good answer. Now for the real question, why are you after Kat? I don't remember her as one of the girls to be married to the Solkvore kingdom.” (Chris)

“Lord Bradley, the oldest son of lord Sheldon, requested it himself to add Kat as his concubine. And if that doesn't work, the fire Daimyo I will put her in the CRA program.” (Wu)

Ah. I see.

“Does that also include anybody named ‘Ino Yamanaka’ and ‘TenTen?’” (Chris)

“Ino and TenTen will also be concubines of lord Bradley and lord Colby.” (Wu)

“I see. Anything else I should know about?” (Chris)

“The marriages are planned to go smoothly tomorrow. And that the fire Daimyo was bribed by lord Sheldon.” (Wu)

“Anything else I should know?” (Chris)

“Right now as we speak, there are others who are now going after Ino, TenTen, and possibly Sakura Haruno.” (Wu)

“Sakura too?! Are you trying to marry them, or steal our girl?.” (Chris) I said a bit annoyed.

“Kind of both.” (Wu)

“One more question, how is Karen related to the Solkvore clan?” (Chris)

“You know her? How?!” (Wu)

“I just do. Now talk.” (Chris)

“Karen, was suppose to marry somebody she loves, but that person died a long time ago, I can’t even remember his name. But after his disappearance, she was suppose to marry Gato, so both sides would gain even more power and reputation far across the elemental nations.” (Wu)

“Let me guess, she didn’t want to marry somebody she didn’t know, so she married Itachi.” (Chris)

“Wait! She married Itachi?” (Wu) exclaimed in shock. Even lord Sheldon doesn’t know that Karen married Itachi. They all thought she escaped, and that is all they know about her, some of them even thought that she was dead.

Ah shit. Me and my stupid mouth.

*Crack* that was the sound of Wu’s neck breaking by a root. He died just like that. I torched their bodies, until they were nothing but ashes, then blew the ashes away so all the evidence disappears.

I summoned 3 shadow clones. Two of them will replace the two corpses, so that they will follow lord Sheldon to his home, and blow it up.

The other one, will be going for Sakura.

I will be going after TenTen personally. If I had known that they would be attacked this early, then I would have done something about it long ago.

Luckily, I placed teleportation and tracking seals on them. It’s a good thing that I learned from my last mistake.

My shadow clones knew about this too, and they each went to help Sakura.

What about Ino?

What about Ino?!

Aw come on, please save her.

Let me think about it… no.

Please

No.

Please.

No.

Please.

No.

Please.

...okay.

Yey.

I never took you for an Ino fan. I always thought that you were a Sakura fan.

I am not just an Ino fan, I am a fan of everybody. It’s like that one song says, ‘gotta catch ‘em all.’

Ha! True.

I summoned another shadow clone, to protect Ino and bring her to the Hyuuga palace.

I then teleported to TenTen’s location. As for my other two shadow clones, they went to infiltrate the Solkvore kingdom.

As soon as I teleported to TenTen’s, I saw two people tied up with bruises all over, and broken bones and teeth.

They were all wearing the Solkvore symbol on their chests, just like Wu and Hao did.

“Don't scare me like! Chris.” (TenTen) said in shock as I appeared all of a sudden. You could see a bit of cuts and bruises on her clothes, signifying that she had a bit of a hard time dealing with them.

“Did you do that?” (Chris) I pointed to the two men on the ground.

“Yes.” (TenTen) answered proudly of herself.

“Haha! As expected from my student.” (Chris) I petted her hair. She is just too cute and awesome.

TenTen enjoyed it when I petted her hair. She had her eyes closed as she enjoyed it.

“I'm glad you're okay, TenTen. But we need to go.” (Chris)

“Go? Where exactly?” (TenTen) asked.

“To the Hyuuga palace.” (Chris)

“But why?” (TenTen) asked.

“There is a huge chance that the Solkvore clan will… um, I don’t know how to say this to you.” (Chris)

“Do what?” (TenTen)

“Well, someone of the Solkvore clan wants to um… make you… his…” (Chris)

Before I could finish the sentence, TenTen quickly put her hands on my mouth, preventing me from finishing that last sentence.

TenTen seemed to have caught on, and quickly put her hands on my mouth, before I said it. She was disgusted at the thought of that.

She thought these two men were here to steal from her store, but to actually do THAT to her as well. She should kill them right now.

“But why would they come after me?” (TenTen) asked. She isn’t an important character like Luna, or Hinata. So why is the Solkvore kingdom after her as well.

I pointed my mouth, indicating that she still had her hands blocking my mouth.

She blushed a little, and retracted her hands.

“Because you’re pretty, and hot.” (Chris)

“...” (TenTen) thought that it was weird for me to say that. Because she isn’t girly, and she can’t even be compared to everybody else. She was normal looking at her view.

“Is that what you think about me?” (TenTen) asked.

“I do, actually.” (Chris) I said without a thought.

TenTen blushed at the comment. This is the first time Chris has said something like that to her.

“Okay, I will follow you. But what about my dad? I am afraid that he will be targeted to get to me.” (TenTen)

She still had her father to take care of. She can’t just leave him here.

“I’ll protect him as well, you just have to trust me." Chris)

“Okay, I trust you.” (TenTen) said with a beautiful smile.

I hate you.

Where did that come from?

Any sane man would definitely want her in his harem, but you had just to stick with Luna. WHEN ARE ARE GONNA STOP BEING A GODDAMN PUSSY, AND GET HER IN THE HAREM!!!

I…

I don’t wanna hear it, humph!

When did you turn into my mom?

I ignored him, and continued talking to TenTen.

“Go get your sleeping wear, and i’ll meet you back here.” (Chris) If she is gonna stay over the Hyuuga palace, she needs to sleep comfortably.

“What about them?” (TenTen) pointed to the two men she just tied up.

I already had a plan for them since the beginning.

“I’ll take care of them, you just go and get your sleeping utensils.” (Chris)

“Okay!” (TenTen) without saying another word, she marched straight up to her room.

I then turned to the two unconscious Solkvore people, and killed them just like the last ones. I also summoned two shadow clones, to be in their place.

And lastly, I summoned an additional shadow clone, to appear like TenTen. This is my plan: The three shadow clones will pretend that TenTen was captured, and taken to the Solkvore people. They will never suspect TenTen at all. It's a good plan indeed.

I also contacted my shadow clones, that were supposed to take care of Ino and Sakura, and told them to do the same thing.

TenTen appeared with a small bag, with everything that she needs for the night.

“You ready?” (Chris)

“Hm!” (TenTen) nodded at my question.

I held her hand, and teleported the both of us to the Hyuuga palace.

Inside Hinata’s room, everyone was there. They all had sleeping bags on the ground, and Naruto brought lots of ramen for some reason,

Hanabi was the same, only she brought in lots of junk food.

Hanabi and Naruto thought that having food at sleepovers, would be fun. They’re not wrong.

I looked at Hinata, and was weirded out because Ino, Sakura, and Tenten also came here unannounced.

I didn’t realize that Luna was pouting at me, because I was still holding TenTen’s hand.

TenTen noticed her gaze, and let my hand go. She sat down on a part of Hinata’s room.

Hanabi and Naruto were really excited about this. They had never hanged out with so many friends, especially at a sleepover.

“Hinata, can I talk to you for a minute outside? Please.” (Chris)

“Yes, sensei.” (Hinata) stood up from the ground, and followed me outside.

Luna saw the both of us go, and sighed a bit. She wasn’t worried at Hinata at all, since Hinata was not that kind of person. She had her complete trust in me, and didn’t think about it much.

Kat thought about teasing Luna about this, but she refrained after what happened at the hospital.

However, Ino took full advantage of this.

“I bet they’re kissing right now, don’t you think so as well, Luna.” (Ino)

“No they’re not. I trust him.” (Luna)

“Aw, I was expecting a different answer.” (Ino) gave up shortly after.

Her and Sakura met some of this Solkvore guys as well. Except Sakura was able to pummel them to the ground easily, just like TenTen.

Ino was still weak, and she was almost abducted by them. Luckily, Chris’s shadow clone came at a right time to protect her.

Her view of Chris changed after that. Even when they are not friends, he still came to her rescue. She even envied Luna a bit, for having such a great boyfriend.

The atmosphere was pretty awkward. What to do here…?

Outside of Hinata’s room.

“I am sorry I brought so many people to your room unannounced. But just for this one night, please let them stay here.” (Chris) I bowed to Hinata while I said this.

Hinata smiled a bit at me. She didn’t mind them one bit at all.

“You brought them here to protect them from the Solkvore kingdom, didn’t you.” (Hinata)

“How did you know?” (Chris) I didn’t want to tell her so it doesn’t worsen the mood. But how did she figure it out?

“Because I know you, sensei. You’re very kind, and considered and you don’t like violence. You only fight to protect yourself, and those beside you.” (Hinata)

“Is that how you see me?” (Chris)

“I do. You helped me get this strong without asking anything in return. You helped Naruto get stronger, to achieve his dreams of becoming the greatest Hokage. The same thing goes for Sakura, TenTen, Kat, and Luna. I am glad to be your student.” (Hinata)

She feels that she owes me a lot, for helping her and her friends this whole time. And having so many people at a sleepover at her room, is like paying back a part of what she owes me.

“Thank you Hinata, I am glad you’re my student as well. But how did you know that the Solkvore kingdom were after ino and the others?” (Chris)

“Because you would have never brought so many girls in one room, in a sleepover, especially with Luna here.” (Hinata) teased me a little.

Wait?! When and how did she learn to tease others like that?

I pinched her cheek a little. She blushed a bit, then held her red cheek. No one could resist pinching her cheeks.

“Let’s go back. It is never a good idea to let Sakura and Ino alone in a room by themselves.” (Chris)

Hinata nodded while she touched her cheek slightly and followed me to her room.

Not far from her room, were two individuals watching us. It was Hiashi and Hina.

“Damn it! I thought Chris would ask her out, but it was just a stupid question.” (Hina) seemed a bit disappointed at this for some reason.

“Is this why you brought me here? When I am so busy! And why did you expect Chris to ask my daughter out, he already has a girlfriend?” (Hiashi) whispered to her, afraid that someone would hear them.

“I sincerely thought he would ask her. If he did, then I would have accepted their relationship.” (Hina)

“Wait a minute? Are you saying that you agree on Chris getting a harem, with my daughter included?” (Hiashi)

“I do.” (Hina) answered without a thought.

“Is that why you hate Naruto so much, because you’re afraid he will steal her from Chris.” (Hiashi)

Hiashi couldn’t believe this. Even as the Hyuuga clan head, he only had one wife, and never cheated on her. But for his sister to agree on Chris having a harem, that is something else.

“So what! I say that there isn’t another person who deserves Hinata, other than Chris.” (Hina)

“You’re kidding, aren’t you?” (Hiashi)

“Not this time, brother. I have seen what Chris could do, and what he has done for our family. If it weren’t for him, I would be dead by now. If it weren’t for him, Hinata would have always been an outcast. If it weren’t for him, Hanabi would have been used as a breeding machine for Kumo. If it weren’t for him you would have never changed to the caring father and brother you are now. He has done so much for us, but what have we done to him.” (Hina) started shedding a few tears uncontrollably.

Hiashi was shocked by this. He had never given this much thought to it, until now. The only thing that they have done for Chris, is taking care of him, and his girlfriend in the Hyuuga palace, and that was because he revealed his Kekkei Genkais and took responsibility afterwards.

“Hina, what you’re saying about Hinata right now, isn’t because you think they would be a great couple, it's because this is a way for you to repay him for what he has done for us.” (Hiashi)

“You’re wrong, brother. I am afraid of what will happen to Hinata in the future, if she does get with Naruto.” (Hina)

“What do you mean?” (Hiashi)

“Without a doubt, Naruto will become the Hokage. But, would he be there for his family.” (Hina)

“What are you saying, exactly?” (Hiashi)

“Because of your stupid status as the Hyuuga head, you missed beautiful time with your daughters. Where were you when Hinata and Hanabi said their first words? Where you when they took their first baby steps?” (Hina)

She also missed precious time with them, when she was poisoned. She missed 11 months of spending time with her nieces. This made her sad, and very angry at Sasori.

“I was… at work.” (Hiashi) said helplessly. There is no excuse he could come up with. And lying would be useless too.

“You see! If Hinata does marry Naruto, will he be there for her in the future? And his family? just like you were there for your family?” (Hina)

“He won’t. But that doesn’t mean that Chris will be there for her either.” (Hiashi)

“You haven’t noticed, have you.” (Hina)

“Noticed what?” (Hiashi)

“The Chris inside her room, is a wooden puppet of some kind.” (Hina)

“It is?!” (Hiashi) used his Byakugan to check on Chris, and there is a different type of chakra around his body.

His body is made out of wood, not out of flesh. It is indeed a wooden puppet.

“Even if Chris is busy right now, doing god knows what, he is making an effort to protect his friends, and being there for them when they need him the most. Can Naruto do that for you daughter?” (Hina)

Hiashi was speechless. He just didn’t know what to think or say anymore.

“I just hope that Hinata sees that. If it weren’t because of her obsession over Naruto, then I would have pressured them to be together.” (Hina)

Hiashi put his hand on Hina’s shoulder, and said.

“I know that you are worried about Hinata’s future, but it is still too early to think about those things for her. Maybe it won’t work out with Naruto in the future, but let's just be patient with her. Okay.” (Hiashi)

“Brother, do you support Chris being with Hinata as well?" (Hina)

“If that’s what Hinata wants, then yes I do.” (Hiashi)

“Thanks.” (Hina) She hugged her brother, as she liked that he was on her side.

Hiashi just sighed a bit. He never would have thought about pairing those two, but maybe it isn’t such bad idea.

Inside Hinata’s room.

And the prize to the greatest aunt goes to, Hina Hyuuga. And the other prize for the father of the century award goes to, Hiashi Hyuuga.

What is that about?!

Heheh. No reason. Just ignore me.

… what the fuck blue screen?
