Peruto: Cosmic Waves

The Mission (Naruto's POV)

I woke up that morning to my alarm clock beeping and my daughter jumping on the bed. Himawari giggled uncontrollably as she jumped from my side of the bed to Hinata's side.

"It's time to wake up, daddy," she said in that innocent childish voice you just couldn't ignore. So I sat up in my bed and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "Good morning, baby girl," I said, smiling sleepily.

"Did you sleep well, darling?" I turned to find Hinata smiling and looking up at me. I chuckled as I kissed her forehead gently. "Sure did, babe," I replied. "Did you?" She kissed me softly and placed a hand on my cheek. "I always sleep well when I'm next to you," she said, blushing as always.

I heard footsteps in the hallway followed by a loud thump. "Oww," Boruto said as he limped into the room. "Good morning, dad," he said groggily. "Don't forget, you have to go to the Ninja Academy and give a speech on hard work and determination." I smacked my head so hard that it rang through the house. "Dang it," I mumbled. I had completely forgotten. I didn't even have a speech written. Hinata saw my dilemma through my body language. She smiled and said, "I'll go with you, honey."

I lowered my hand down from my face as my expression softened. I enjoyed working with Hinata. She was always so supportive. I gave her a quick peck on her lips before rolling out of bed and rushing into the bathroom.

It took me fifteen minutes to get ready. It took Hinata thirty minutes. Boruto helped Himawari get ready before getting himself ready, which took fifteen minutes all in all. We ate breakfast and were out of the house in an hour and ten minutes.

As we rushed to the Academy, I constantly kept track of the time. When we arrived, the first thing I did was look at the clock. It was 9:36. "Crap..." We were over thirty minutes late. I looked into one of the classrooms only to see Iruka sensei glaring at me while stalling for time.

I walked to the front of the classroom, catching the attention of all the young schoolgirls. Hinata chuckled at this as Himawari sat quietly in her arms.

Boruto went to his seat next to Sarada and Mitsuki. Now I know you're thinking to yourself, I thought that they graduated. They did, but every once in awhile, they decide to visit just to see their old teacher.

I stood next to Iruka as he whispered, "You were supposed to be here half an hour ago." I shrugged and smiled sheepishly. "Simple mistake," I said, trying my best to look innocent. It must've worked because Iruka directed his attention toward the class.

"Class, as you know, today we have a special guest," Iruka said in his usual teacher voice. "Please give Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, your undivided attention."

I smiled as the old sensei took a seat among the Academy students. "Thanks Iruka sensei," I said, trying to sound as professional as possible. "I see a bunch of smart ninja in this class. So let me ask you guys a question. What do you guys think it takes to become hokage?"

------------

I lectured for about an hour, but once I finished,  the young academy students seemed to show a renewed love for training and hard work. I walked out of the building only to be greeted by Shikamaru. He had a strangely anxious look on his face. It was never good when he was anxious.

"You need to come to the holding chambers," he said. I raised an eyebrow. "Why? What's up?" Hinata walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Is everything okay?" she asked. Shikamaru sighed and gestured toward Hinata. "She might need to come too," he said solemnly.

I was starting to get irritated. "C'mon, Shikamaru," I urged. "You're not telling me anything." All he did was look at me as he said, "The mission was successful. We have Percy Jackson in custody."
