The curious five-year-old girl was oftenly referred to as an airhead. Of course no one dared voice this out loud. For after all she had a Hokage for a father, a prankster for a brother and the ex-Hyuuga Heiress for a mother. Those three were enough to make most people terrified of even voicing these thoughts about the girl out-loud. However, even in the Uzumaki house-hold they always knew that their youngest member was an airhead.

But her family never worried. For after all, the little girl was just a child…


She was grocery-shopping with her mother once. Their hands were intertwined as they walked through the crowd. The little girl was a chatterbox and her mother listened to her with a gentle smile nodding every once in a while. Uzumaki Hinata scooped the little girl up in her arms as they made their way to another shop.

"No, don't buy menma, Daddy doesn't like them"

"I wasn't going to purchase it, honey"

Hinata laughed as her daughter nodded seriously at her. She continued on with her shopping rounds choosing to completely ignore the fact that her daughter seemed to be staring into space again. She also seemed quite oblivious to how no one ever discussed Naruto's issues with menma with her daughter.

Uzumaki Hinata never worried. For after all, the little girl was just a child…


Himawari loved spending time in her father's office. Whenever her mother was on a mission, the little girl would usually accompany her Daddy to work while her brother was in the academy. And it helped her father a great deal that the little girl wasn't half as mischief as her brother. Naruto only had to endure her usual cheerful chatter (which served as a blissful distraction from his never ending paper work).

"You forgot to sign the patrolling drills report, Daddy!"

Naruto's head snapped up at Himawari's sudden sentence. She had been silent for five minutes just staring into space, he wasn't aware that she was watching him. He grinned at the little girl, and took the paper she offered him. Looking at it properly it was indeed the patrolling drills report, which was yet to be signed.

"You are quite smart, I never knew that your mum taught you how to read" he praised her feeling quite proud of his daughter.

"But I can't read, Daddy, I am only five"

He tried to believe that picking up the correct paper was a wild guess on her part then. Sometimes it's better to be oblivious.

Uzumaki Naruto never worried. For after all, the little girl was just a child…


Himawari loved watching her Aunt Tenten practicing. Out of all the Kunoichi's in the village, she was only mesmerized by her Aunt Tenten's practice. WEAPONS WENT FLYING EVERYWHERE! Her parents expressed their concerns as they knew how being in a close distance to the weapons' mistress training area was quite dangerous. Himawari would always smile and them and say "Aunt Tenten doesn't aim at what she doesn't want to aim at".

"That was great, Aunt Tenten!"

Tenten smiled and walked over to the little girl. She patted her head before sitting down next to her. The little girl handed her a water bottle.

"Now remember, drink slowly and don't gulp it all down"

After being told that by the little girl many times before, Tenten wasn't surprised anymore. She would usual just smile and do as instructed. However, deep down she knew for a fact that it was probably impossible for a little girl to quote the dead.

Neji…

Tenten always worried. For after all, the little girl was only a child…


It wasn't until after the fifth shinobi war that her parents began to worry.

The war was…terrifying, to say the least. Konoha lost many honorable shinobis. But the memory that haunted the Uzumaki couple the most was that of their cildern almost dying. They had been instructed to stay inside the house where their father had placed a justu to protect them. But did they follow the instructions? Absolutely not.

They didn't know what happened exactly but they knew that the village was ambushed. Naruto and Hinata were immersed in their own battles when to their horror, their daughter came running out of the house crying for her parents closely followed by her brother.

If it wasn't for Tenten being there in time.

If it wasn't for Tenten shielding them with her body.

If it wasn't for Tenten taking the blow.

Yeah, they owed her that much.


Himawari didn't cry in her Aunt's funeral, defying all of her parent's expectations. In fact, she was the one that consoled her mother when she broke down. She hugged her mother's leg tightly and looked up at her.

"She doesn't want you to be sad, mummy"

Hinata only kept crying as her husband scooped up their daughter with a solemn expression placed on his face. He wrapped an arm around his wife and kissed her head. Himawari reached out for her mother and kissed her cheek silently.

"Really, mummy, Aunt Tenten is happy now. She tells you that she finally got her happily ever after."

Himawari didn't know why but she felt her father's arm stiffen around her and her mother abruptly stopped crying. The little girl watched as both of her parents stared at her quietly with calculating eyes. They shared a look before Naruto again turned his attention to his daughter.

"I have always wondered, Hima-chan" her father started speaking slowly and almost hesitantly. "Why did you refer to her as 'Aunt Tenten' and not 'Tenten-san' as you do with your mother's friends?"

"Because Aunt Tenten is family. Uncle Neji told me he'd have married her were he still alive."

The answer came out as simple as that. But it was enough to freak her parents out.

Her family started to worry. For after all, the little girl was only a child...


Uzumaki Himawari didn't inherit her mother's Byakugan. She used to sulk over this fact every once in a while. She also didn't inherit her father's incredible chakra. She still curses her luck whenever that comes up. However, throughout the history of Konoha, Uzumakis were known to be quite exceptional. And Himawari certainly had her own unique abilities…

"Rise and shine, Hima-chan"

"Tenten, it's too early to wake her up"

"It's her first day in the academy I want to give her some pointers"

"I won't have her running around the academy twirling a Kunai"

"You are no fun, dear"

Himawari giggled slightly at her morning wake-up call. She loved her Aunt and Uncle to death. And even though her Uncle may say that her Aunt's wake-up calls were in-appropriate, he knew that his niece preferred it to her father's loud ones.

"I am up, Aunt Tenten" Himawari said groggily. Opening her eyes she sat up in bed and blinked at her Aunt who was sitting on the edge of her bed. She had her hair down and wore the white Kimono that Himawari noticed all of her 'friends-from-the-after-life' usually wear. Her Uncle Neji stood beside Tenten, smiling down at the little girl.

"Morning, Hima-chan!" Her Aunt exclaimed with her usual grin. Her Uncle grimaced at the exclamation, though Himawari could see how his eyes had that sparkle that they always had ever since Aunt Tenten reunited with him.

"Good morning, Himawari" her Uncle stated simply smiling down at the girl.

They were interrupted by a gentle knock on the door and hushed murmurs that awfully sounded like Hinata trying to talk Naruto out of exclaiming his daughter's name since it was her first day at the academy. Neji scoffed while Tenten just giggled as she stood up and wrapped her arms around his torso, his lips curved up slightly as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder bringing her closer to him as they watched Hinata enter the room.

"Hima- oh, you are already up" Hinata said as she entered her daughter's room, closely followed by Naruto who had a huge grin on his face. Himawari smiled at her parents who seemed to be glancing around the room curiously.

Yes, over the years they had learned of their daughter's ability to see her 'friends-from-the-after-life' as she liked to refer to them. And yes it had taken some time to get used to it, but they learned that it was a blessing after all.

"It's Uncle Neji and Aunt Tenten" Himawari stated smiling at her parents noticing their curious looks.

"Tenten-san, please don't urge Himawari to go around twirling a kunai" Hinata said smiling warmly at no one in particular. Neji chuckled lightly and nudged Tenten who scoffed.

"Himawari, tell her that I am keeping your Aunt in line" Neji said to the little girl whom giggled and nodded.

"Uncle Neji tells you that he has her in line, mummy"

"But I have no objections-"

"No, Naruto, your daughter won't be playing with any sharp objects for fun"

Her family learned to not worry about the little girl. For after all, she had all the guidance anyone can ask for…


I've always thought that Neji and Tenten should've their happily ever after too. And this idea just popped in my head out of no where. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
