The Hidden Leaf

Sunshine Couple

Author's Note:

This is just a part of the fanfic that I made on my Tumblr account. It's a story featuring all the canon (and non-canon, in Konohamaru and Hanabi's case) couples of Naruto Universe. For the whole – and real chronologically arranged – story, visit my Tumblr account linked on my profile page. There is a page containing all the links to all my Naruto fanfictions in Tumblr. This one's included in the Valentine's Day story.

"THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS THAT a potential member of the Ōtsutsuki clan was spotted at the southern part of the Hidden Rain Village. Our sources said that the guy manifests some traits and even techniques that only that specific bloodline could do."

Naruto Uzumaki gave the picture to Sasuke Uchiha. "That image was taken by one of our Anbus. The identity of that guy is not yet clear, as no one in the Hidden Rain seems to know him."

Sasuke looked at the picture. "I see. I will leave at once."

"You can leave the day after tomorrow," Naruto said.

"I could go in an hour."

"But, tomorrow's Valentine's Day. I'm sure you want to spend it with your wife."

"What's so special about Valentine's Day?"

"What?" Naruto was surprised about that question.

"It's just another ordinary day."

"It's the day when you can get romantic with your wife, you know."

"It's a day that only good-for-nothing people celebrates, those who do not have anything to do and do not have any mission to take care of."

Sasuke left and got out of the office, leaving Naruto behind.

"I'm not a good-for-nothing guy," he said.

Enter Shikamaru.

"Oh! Hi Shikamaru! How's Temari?"

"She's still under the weather. Couldn't even get up from bed."

"She's that sick, huh?"

"Yeah. She could not make it to the party tomorrow night. I guess I'll just have to go there alone."

"You? Alone?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"You can't go there alone. It's not right."

"Why wouldn't it be right?"

"Because that party happens to be a Valentine's Day Party. I'm sure all of the persons attending have a date or someone to be with them."

Shikamaru sighed. "I don't have much choice. My wife could not make it, so I have to attend solely."

"Yeah, but what I mean is that-"

Three knocks on the door stopped Naruto from talking. And then, someone from the outside yelled.

"Daddy!"

"Hmn?" Shikamaru looked at the door.

"Come in!" Naruto said, quite surprised to hear his daughter's voice behind the closed door.

The door opened and Himawari and Hinata stepped in.

"Hima!" Naruto said.

"Daddy!" Himawari excitedly called. But before she rushed to her daddy, she stopped to greet the other guy in the room. "Oh! Hi Uncle Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru smiled. "Hello, Hima!"

"Daddy!"

The little girl rushed to her father. Naruto carried her up and placed her on his lap.
