In my Dream Chapter 11

In my Dream
Chapter 11
 
Naruto walked over to Hisashi.
 
“It’s over,” said Naruto.
 
“What? You’re not going to kill me,” said Hisashi.
 
“No, I want you to live with your defeat and the humiliation that will soon follow,” said Naruto.
 
Just then, some medical ninjas came to heal Hisashi. They healed him as much as they could, but he was still pretty beat up. He would have to go to the hospital. Then, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Joyce, and Hanabi exited the balcony.
 
Both Joyce and Hanabi quickly embraced Naruto. “Naruto-Kun, I’m glad you’re okay,” said Joyce.
 
“Yeah, we’re both happy . . . Who knows what we'll do without you,” said Hanabi.
 
Once Hisashi was healed, he stood up and began to walk away when he heard someone clear his throat. Everyone turned around to see the ANBU standing in the arena with them.
 
“Seeing as Uzumaki Naruto won, these are his requests that will be granted, one: The cage bird seal will be abolished in the Hyuga clan, two: Hyuga  
Hisashi will be removed as head of the clan, and Hyuga Neji will take his place as head of the clan. Three: As of this moment, any and every bond that ties Joyce and Hanabi to the Hyuga clan is now severed, and they are not to be ordered, threatened, bothered, attacked, or followed in any way by the Hyuga Clan if so, anyone who does will be killed.”
 
“What!!! There is no way I’m stepping down. The Hyuga is the strongest clan in Konoha, and they need me to lead them,” said Hisashi.
 
“Hisashi,” Tsunade was about to speak but was cut off.
 
“He’s right,” said a Hyuga elder who stood there along with the rest of the Hyuuga elders, listening to what had been said.
 
“Why is that?” asked Jiraiya.
 
“This battle was between Hisashi and the . . . boy, personal matters if you will, the bird cage seal and the head of the clan are matters of the Hyuga clan, the clan should not be brought into this matter, and most certainly, it should not be punished for Hisashi’s incompetence, the fate of a clan should not be made by him,” said the Hyuuga elder as he looked at Naruto with hateful eyes.
 
“I see,” said Tsunade.
 
“I’m glad you agree, Hokage-Sama,” said the Hyuga elder.
 
“No . . . I'm afraid I have to disagree. I understand your reasoning, but it’s wrong,” said Tsunade.
 
“What?” said the elders and Hisashi.
 
“You might be old, but it seems like you are either acting stupid or you don’t know all the rules of the battle contract; Naruto didn’t bring the Hyuga clan into this. You brought yourselves into this. One of Hisashi’s requests involved the cage bird seal. For any request that involves matters of a Clan, the clan has to approve it. You indeed approved it, which is why you stamped your seal of approval on the contract, and once you did, not only did you approve Hisashi’s request that involved the clan, but you also automatically agreed to all of Naruto’s requests that involved your clan, those are the rules” said Tsunade in a satisfying tone.
 
“YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS,” yelled Hisashi, furious that he was being forced to step down. What would he do now?
 
“I am, and I expect these changes to happen within the next three days,” said Tsunade.
 
All the Hyugas present were angry except for Neji, who couldn’t believe what happened.
 
‘He did it, that son of bitch did it,’ thought Neji thinking back to what Naruto had said to him during the chunin exam; however, he did it before he became Hokage.
 
 
All the Hyugas left, especially Hisashi, humiliated in front of the other elite Clans of Konoha, who watched the fight and their conversation. Neji, however, stayed behind.
 
Naruto began to walk away, dragging Joyce and Hanabi.
 
“Where are you going?” asked Jiraiya.
 
“I have to go tell my friends what happened. They're waiting for me, remember,” said Naruto.
 
“Alright, go, but you and I have to talk soon,” said Tsunade.
 
Naruto, Hinata, and Hanabi left, and Neji was about to follow till Tsunade called him.
 
“Neji, I think we should discuss your new role. Would you please come to my office?” said Tsunade.
 
“Of course,” replied Neji.
 
“You too Jiraiya,” said Tsunade.
 
“Neji, wait,” said Hinata from a distance.
 
“What is it?” he asked.
 
“I want to thank you,” said Joyce.
 
“For what?”
 
“For the gift, I love it,” said Joyce.
 
“Oh, no problem, I’ll see you guys later,” said Neji.
 
“Oh, and Naruto, I want you here tomorrow at the same time,” said Tsunade.
 
“What for?” asked Naruto
 
“You’ll see,” said Tsunade as she left with Neji and Jiraiya.
 
At the last moment before they disappeared, “Good luck, Naruto,” said Jiraiya.
 
“Good luck for what?” said Naruto.
 
“I don’t know, but let’s go,” said Hanabi.
 
Naruto met with the others, along with Joyce and Hanabi. He told them of his victory and Neji’s new position in the clan.
 
The gang went out to celebrate the victory, and Neji was the new head of the clan even though he wasn’t there.
 
Naruto didn’t want to tell what he did and how he did it, so he said he beat Hisashi. However, Hanabi stepped in and told them everything that happened. Everyone looked at Naruto to see if she was telling the truth; all he did was nod.
 
The gang just hung out without a care in the world. They talked and laughed. Joyce thanked the others for the gifts she received. Naruto and everyone around him were all happy with how things turned out. All night, they talked about things that did not involve the shinobi world.
 
The three were now at home; now that the night was over, they lay in bed resting from a very long day. Joyce and Hanabi were sleeping, but Naruto was still awake thinking.
 
Now that Akatsuki was gone, he no longer desired to retrieve Sasuke, and his relationship with Hinata was safe from Hisashi. The only thing he wanted now was to spend time with his family, the family that he never had.
 
Months had passed; Joyce was ready to give birth any day now. Naruto and Joyce were in bed discussing names for their soon-to-be daughter; they had finally gotten word that the baby was indeed a girl.
 
“Ok, so how many names do we have?” asked Naruto.
 
“Six,” said Joyce.
 
“Which ones are they again?” asked Naruto.
 
“Let’s see . . . Kazumi, Akemi, Minako, Emi, Yuriko, and Azumi,” said Joyce.
 
Naruto turned towards Joyce, hugged her, and kissed her.
 
“How about we name her Joyce? That way, I can have two suns shining to light my way,” said Naruto.
 
“No,” said Joyce.
 
“Why not,” he asked.
 
“Cuz, I want her to have her own name,” said Joyce.
 
“Ok . . . let's see my favorite. Is, Yuriko,” said Naruto.
 
“Yuriko . . . . . . I like . . . Emi” said Hinata.
 
“Emi?” said Naruto.
 
“Which one should we choose?” asked Joyce.
 
“How about we decide that tomorrow it’s late? We should go to sleep,” said Naruto.
 
“Ok,” said Joyce.
 
Naruto quickly fell after Joyce said OK, but Joyce had trouble sleeping. It was only after twenty minutes that Hinata finally fell asleep.
 
Only a minute into her sleep, she suddenly heard a knock, and someone called her.
 
“JOYCE hears knocks on the door, Joyce; wake up,” said the voice.
 
Knock, knock, knock.
 
Joyce finally woke up, and when she did, she quickly noticed she was in bed alone. She then began to look around the room, which looked all too familiar.
 
‘It can’t be,’ she thought.
 
“Joyce, knock, it’s time to wake up, knock,” said the voice.
 
Joyce began to tear up and shake her head; she couldn’t believe what was happening.
 
‘No, no, no, no . . . please god, no’ tears were now rolling down her cheeks, then she brought a hand to her belly and quickly fell on her bed sobbing as she confirmed her suspicions. ‘How . . . could it be . . . it felt so real,’ she thought as she sobbed and cried.
 
“Joyce, are you okay? You have to get ready for your party, which starts in less than an hour,” said the voice that Joyce knew was Neji.
 
So much had happened that made her happy, and now it was all undone. Perhaps she was bold, daring, and naughty because none of that was real. It all felt real: the events, the conversations, and the fight. She was torn apart; she thought she had finally gotten what she wanted.
 
With tears still rolling down her eyes, she ran to the door. She opened it and dashed out.
 
“Joyce, where are you going to dress like that?” Neji asked; Hinata ignored him and continued to run.
 
She ran through the hallways of the Hyuga compound, then out into the streets and jumped through the rooftops of the buildings. She wasn't dressed as usual when she ran out of the house. She had no shoes or socks; she wore tight black shorts under her pants and a tight black undershirt.
 
Joyce was damn if life was going to take a different path other than the one she had experienced. Whether what she experienced was a dream or something else, she wouldn’t let her shyness get in the way of letting things run the way she dreamed it. She wanted nothing more than to be with Naruto and to have her little girl.
 
Joyce continued to run through the rooftops.
 
‘He was there after the party was over, but he was there thinking maybe he’s already there,’ thought Hinata as she remembered where she would find Naruto.
 
When Naruto arrived at the location, she looked at the village, but this time, she showed a different emotion.
 
‘He’s smiling . . . . . . In my dream, he was sad and thought of Joyce before Naruto saw her.
 
“Joyce?” said Naruto, staring at her with a huge blush. He couldn’t turn away from her. Her clothes were tight, showing every curve in her body. She made no attempts to cover up; she wanted Naruto to look at her.
 
‘He’s blushing’ “Naruto-Kun”– she began to say before Naruto spoke.
 
“Joyce, what are you doing? Shouldn’t you be getting ready for your party,” said Naruto.
 
Joyce stood there a bit shocked, yet again something was different, “You . . . You remembered,” she said.
 
“Of course, I will never forget your birthday,” said Naruto.
