Read it I guess.

Himawari stared up at her ceiling cradling her panda closer to her chest. She glanced over to the clock to see that it was past mid-night. Daddy had promised to tuck her in tonight and he still wasn't here. Though she understood, he was a busy grownup with important Hokage duties. She shouldn't bother him with something silly such as wanting a goodnight kiss. She was eight now after all, things such as that would be a thing of the past and she shouldn't beg for attention.

Her brother on the other hand craved it and it was understandable. He was expected to become something great like her daddy. She loved her brother dearly, but she knew how he could get on the villagers nerves. Which would only lead to trouble to daddy. So she would be quiet and not ask for too much. After all she was a big girl now. Himawari nodded determined to herself that she wouldn't become a bother and pulled the covers of her shoulder. She slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Hima...Hima-chan, Himawari~"

Himawari slowly opened her eyes to see herself surrounded by white clouds. She pressed her hand in the surface curious to feel the soft texture. Himawari stood to her feet clutching her panda to her chest. Where was she? The last time she checked she had fallen asleep in her room. Was someone playing a trick on her or was this just a dream? Though, none of her dreams had ever been this vivid.

"Hima-chan, this way." A voice said. She didn't know whether or not she should trust it, but she followed it anyway. The closer she walked the louder the voice became along with a light shining brightly at her. She raised her hand and squinted her eyes as figures came into view.

"Whose there?" She called nervously. As the light dimmed down she saw a man and a woman smiling down at her. She tilted her head curiously at the two. They looked at her as if they knew who she was. "Who are you?"

The woman smiled at her and put a hand out for her to grasp. "Come this way." Himawari stared at the hand for a moment before looking back up at the woman.

"It's alright, we're not going to hurt you. I promise." The man said. Himawari pursed her lips before taking her hand into the strangers. Her touch was soft and kind. The smaller girl relaxed a bit as the three of them walked down the clouded path.

"Where are we going?" Himawari asked. "Who are you two?" At first they said nothing which made her nervous and she was about to pull her hand away when the man spoke.

"I'm glad that we get to meet you in person, Hima-chan." He said looking down at her with a kind smile.

"How do you know who I am?" She asked curiously.

"You mean you don't recognize me?" He asked with a teasing shock. Himawari lifted her brow before leaning forward to get a better look at his face. She stared for a moment trying to remember where she had seen his features before.

"Your...your the fourth Hokage, aren't you?" She asked. He only smiled at her. "I've seen you on the Hokage rock. Then that means...your my grandpa and your my grandma." She looked over at the red headed woman who laughed happily.

"That's right, that's right! Oh your just so small and adorable, Dattebane!" She said squishing her cheek against the smaller girls.

"I seem small?" Himawari asked looking at herself. "I guess my panda makes me seem little, but I'm actually already eight. I'm turning nine really soon."

Minato and Kushina glanced at each other before she spoke. "What's the rush to grow up?"

"I don't want daddy or mommy to be burden because they have to take care of me. After all being the Hokage is very important and I shouldn't bother him." She replied nodding her head as if everything she said was a fact.

"Hima-chan, no one thinks your a burden. Your parents love you." Minato said patting a hand on her shoulder.

"I love them too that's why I can't bother daddy." Himawari countered. She paused before looking up at them. "How can he protect Konoha if I get in the way?"

"Hima-chan..." The older man trailed off before Kushina intervened.

"Well, I won't waste anymore time. Hima-chan would you like a present?" She asked with a smile.

The smaller girl looked at the woman with interest. "A present? Why would you give me a present?"

"Because we're your family and grandparent's are suppose to spoil you with gifts, Dattebane." She said grinning down at her.

"What is it?" Himawari asked becoming more curious as to what they were going to give to her.

"Well, let me answer that question with another question. Would you like to spend time with your father?" She asked.

"But I don't want to bother-"

"Yes or no? Which is it?" Kushina interrupted.

Himawari gave a hesitant nod. "Yes, I would like to. Only if I'm not bothering him."

"On the contrary, I think he would love to spend time with some one." She said grinning over at her husband. Minato nodded.

"You'll have fun I promise."

"I wish Boruto could come too. He would love to spend time with daddy." She said with a bit of guilt in her tone.

"He'll get his chance as well rest assured." Minato said. "But a good girl such as yourself deserves to be happy."

Himawari gave a slow nod. "Okay...when I'm done. How will I get back? Will I just wake up?"

"Wake up...?" Kushina repeated. She opened her mouth to inform her on what exactly was going on, but Minato got her attention shaking his head.

"Yes, when it's time for you to leave you'll wake up." He said with a smile.

Himawari tugged her panda closer to her chest. "It's too bad it won't be real..." Minato and Kushina glanced to her before looking at each other. She peered up at them. "So where do I go?"

"Walk straight towards that light and you'll get there safely, I promise." Minato said. Himawari glanced toward the shimmering light at the end of the cloud road.

"Okay." She said with a nod, before turning around and hugging her grandparents. "Thank you." They hugged her back and she could feel the happy warmth. She separated and turned toward the light. "Bye grandpa, bye grandma!" She said waving to them kindly. They waved back as she walked into the light.

Kushina looked back to Minato. "Was it alright that we didn't tell her?"

He nodded. "I think it was better that way."

"Alright..." She said.

Meanwhile, Himawari felt like she was floating through the sky and her entire body felt tingly. It was strange and she wasn't sure how comfortable she was with it. Himawari held her panda close to her chest to comfort herself. Suddenly she fell flat on the hard ground and she yelped. Dreams weren't suppose to hurt were they? She shook her head, grandpa said that I would wake up just fine, right? She stood up dusting off her pajama pant's.

She looked around trying to pen point where exactly she was. The trees and building looked familiar, but in a way they didn't at the same time. She furrowed her brow. Didn't they say she would get time to spend with her daddy? Where was he?

"You get back here!" She heard cackling laughter whip behind her into the bushes and she blinked in surprise. She looked over to see a blond boy with goggles around his head. "Naruto you brat!" She stiffened when an familiar ninja stared her down. Though he looked younger she knew it was Iruka.

"You child!"

"Yes!" She said.

"Have you seen a little blond brat running through here?" He asked. He looked frustrated and he was covered in paint, orange to be exact. She was hesitant for a moment.

"He went that way." She said point in the opposite direct.

"Thanks...by the way kid, what are you doing out her in your pajama's and with no shoes?" He asked.

Himawari glanced down at herself realizing she was indeed shoeless..."I sleep walk, it's a problem of mine."

"Oh...alright, make sure to get help with that. I'll be on way now." He said running on ahead. When she was sure he was gone she turned around only to be face to face with bright blue eyes. She stumbled over a rock and fell to the ground. The blond boy stared her down as he squatted in front of her.

"Why did you help me?" He asked with an accusing expression.

"You seemed to be in trouble...I though I was helping." She explained calmly.

"Well you got him off my back so you did help me, but I want to know why." He demanded.

Himawari tilted her head. "Why not?" He hesitated for a moment.

"Ah nevermind." He said waving his arm at her. Before looking back at her. "So why aren't you wearing shoes?"

"I'm sure you've heard about my sleep walking problem." She said, though the boy only squinted his eyes at her. This was uncomfortable. She glanced at the paint covering his hands. "What did you do to get that man so angry at you?"

He slowly grinned at her. "Just a little redecorating."

"He didn't seem to like it."

"Oh well." He said with a shrug. "So what's your name?"

"Himawari." She said politely. "What is your's?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage of the hidden leave village!" He said pointing at himself confidently. Himawari blinked a few times before speaking.

"Daddy?"
