"Hiashi-sama?"Hiashi sighed."Enter.

"Hiashi-sama?"

Hiashi sighed.

"Enter."

The person slid open the screen door and entered, sliding the door close behind him.

"What is it Neji?" Hiashi was glad that it wasn't any of the elders. He already had a lot of problems going on as is.

"Yes, well, I wanted to report that everyone is expressing their worries concerning Hinata-sama." Neji gave a polite bow.

"Do tell." Hiashi reached in his drawer and took out a bottle.

"We have been receiving reports that she has been spending time with Uzumaki Naruto lately." Neji could hear his uncle cough.

"Continue." Hiashi's voice was raspy.

"They detest the idea that Hinata is running around with Uzumaki Naruto when she is to be wed in just a few days." Neji dared to look up at his uncle to see his reaction. "Other branch members, including myself and a few main household members such as Kō worry of the outcome if the elders catch wind of what's going on."

"Hiashi-sama," Neji pushed himself to say more. "Hinata-sama is already with a fiancé, but she is acting as if she were a free woman. To the eyes of a Hyuuga, it's immoral and make her seem like a whor—!"

"Silence these ideas!" Hiashi somewhat slammed the bottle down on the table. "Thank you for the report. Rest assured, I surely will have a stern talk with Hinata."

An angry mob of children later, Naruto and Hinata laughed, their backs leaned on the back wall of the Academy.

Granted, both were out of breath.

This was what had happened:

Finding out that Hinata had a love for cinnamon buns, Naruto dragged her to the vendor that had just made his way to the Academy where a handful of children eagerly waited for the cart to come to a stop, the paper money ready in their hands.

Because he was more experienced and bigger, Naruto rushed to the vendor just in time for the cart to stop and ended up being in the front of the line.

A few complaints rang out, but the old man who was pushing the cart and cooking the pastry just laughed, making an effort to calm the children down.

"What does the soon to be Hokage wish to have?" He winked at Naruto, catching Hinata in his peripheral vision.

"I want to buy all of the cinnamon buns, please." Naruto readily grabbed behind him for his wallet.

"All?" The old man raised a brow, nervously looking at him and the patiently waiting children. "But—!"

"Naruto-kun, don't you think that buying all of the buns would be a wise decision?" Hinata bit her bottom lip nervously, eyeing the now impatient children, hungrily watching the buns heating. "I don't really want—!"

"Psshhh!" Naruto waved her off. "You didn't eat anything for breakfast!"

"Yes, but I think one or two buns would suffice." Hinata gave a shy smile. "I don't think it's necessary to buy all."

"I-I would listen to the young lady if I were you." The old man gulped.

Stubborn as he was, Naruto just shook his head. "I want all, and that's final."

Sighing, the old man complied, placing multiple buns in multiple paper sacks.

"Might as well give you the whole cart, boyo." He muttered.

The children were finally catching on what was happening.

"Hey!" A boy, not much younger than Konohamaru at the moment exclaimed, pointing his finger accusingly at Naruto. "That dumb looking guy is buying everything!"

"'Dumb looking'?" Naruto just mouthed the words, glancing at the children.

"Get him!"

Naruto yelled out when a handful of children jumped on him, pushing him to the ground.

"Naruto-kun!"

He could hear Hinata shout his name, but he couldn't see over the dust.

"I told you didn't I, boyo." The old man sighed when he saw that his cinnamon buns were flying everywhere.

Naruto cursed under his breath and he pushed himself up.

"Kage Bunshin!"

Ten exact duplicates of Naruto appeared and began catching and gathering every one of the flying cinnamon buns.

"You little snots have been naughty! You guys don't deserve any of this!" A clone sneered, pulling down the flesh under his eye as he stuck out his tongue.

The children forgot about the actual Naruto who was dusting himself off.

He ran up to Hinata, who looked shocked and amused at the scene in front of her and grabbed her sleeve, running the opposite direction where the children mobbed on his clones, dispelling them one by one by throwing rocks, kunais and shurikens at them.

Naruto winced every time one dispelled.

"Hey! You need to pay for all of these!" The old man shouted after him.

Clicking his tongue in frustration, Naruto grabbed a few paper money and threw them behind him. "There you go old man! Sorry for the troubles."

And so now, they were laughing and catching their breaths in the back of the Academy.
