Naruto the Neglected

Chapter 15

Its been a month since the group of six returned and they fitted in with their daily routines perfectly. The war that had threatened to occur was easily dispearsed, once word of the SS-rank group was from Konoha, so now everything was alright in the war. Naruto and Kushina had a thriving mother-son relationship. They're love for the sealing arts also helped, which was one of the reasons why Naruto chose Uzumaki as his surname. They began constructing a variety of seals, from storage seals that had limitless space to the loved anti-rape seal for all kunoichi everywhere. Kushina was glad that her son had finally accepted her and given her a chance, and she had shown it well. Naruto, despite all his denial before, loved spending time with his mother, becasue like everyone else, a mother's love is the most desired. His relationship with Minato and Naruko didnt really improve, but he could tolerate them at a civilized level. They, along with Jiraiya, kept asking him about his skills instead of his well being, which was he refused them, unlike Kushina who was genuinely worried about his well being by asking about it when he first arrived.

They were now all gathered in the Hyuuga compound, along with the rest of the Hyuugas to watch the match between Hinata and her father for the position of clan head in their clan. It was Hinata's long dream to get rid of the cage seal that the Branch families were branded, and the only way to achieve it was to become clan head. She had been training tirelessly for too long, just for this day, and there was no where in hell she was going to give up now. Not when she finally found a way to remove the seal completely.

"The match will be between Hinata Hyuuga and Hiashi Hyuuga for position of clan head." a branch member said. The branch family always liked Hinata, not only because she wanted to set them free, but because not once did she use the seal or treat them loke trash. Its why they were all secretly cheering for her to win, unlike others.

"Yeaaa! Go Hinata, thats my girl! Wipe that ugly smirk off his face!" Narito shouted.

"Grind him into the floor Hinata! Show him what your made of!" Sakura yelled.

"Beat the dude into a bloody pulp!" Miley yelled, as they continued cheering her on. The Uchiha brothers didn't cheer the same way they were, but were giving their support along with Neji. Those three seemingly frightened Hiashi, as  his daughter became more and more confident and had a bloodthirsty grin on her face. This was one match he'd remember.

"Hajime!" the Branch member yelled and then stepped away.

They both went into their Hyuuga stances and battled it off. The match was fierce. Blows were traded but the entire match didnt take long. Hinata had the match in her favour, she wasn't and S-rank nin for no entire reason. The match was finally over, Hinata as the victor. Everyone cheered and congratulated her, as she received a fifteen second long kiss from Naruto, which would have been longer if Neji didnt place a wedge between him and his cousin. She then began to undo the seals of the branch family with Naruto's help of shadow clones, but made them promise that they wouldnt get revenge on the main house and try to work things out, as a family should. Just as they finished, the Hyuuga elder who-god knew where they were the entire time-just arrived saw what happened and demanded that the branch family to get their seals back. Poor them, since they didnt get the memo that Hianta was far from the shy sweet girl from when she was younger. All she did was break a nearby wall with a tap of her finger and said

"If you try to undermine my authorirty again, you'll end up like that wall, is that understood?" she said darkly. The quickly nodded and left to their quaters in full retreat. They never tried anything after that. Hiashi could only look at his daughter with pride, despite losing to her.

Sakura had her own things to do as she quickly gained recognition in the hospital. She was said to have her medical skills to rival Tsunade herself and was greatly respected by the nurses and doctors. The success rate for surgeries went extremely high due to her skills and more and more people kept asking for her to treat them. She became a well-known celebrity in a short time.
