Hello everyone. It's good to be back in fanfiction land. This is my first Naruto x Hinata fic so I hope it's good. This is for my friend who is a huge NaruHina fan. Don't worry; I am still a NaruSaku fan. Well here's my story, please enjoy. And as always, please review. Of course, I don't own Naruto.

Hokage Tower

"I have assembled you all here because you are the best, most intelligent ninja we have."

Jiraiya smiled, "wow, you actually called me intelligent, that's a shocker."

Tsunade glared at him, "oh, I'm sorry, I meant everyone here is intelligent except for Jiraiya."

Jiraiya smirked, "that's what I thought you meant."

Tsunade looked at everyone in the room. For this meeting, she had assembled twenty people. Jiraiya, Yamato, Hiashi Hyuuga, Kakashi, Danzo, Shikamaru, Neji, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, the two Leaf Village elders, Gaara and his siblings, Sakura, Kiba, Gen Abruhame, Gai, Asuma, and Shizune filled the hokage's office looking very annoyed due to Tsuande waking them up at 2 a.m. for this announcement. Tsuande pounded on her desk to get everyone's attention and began speaking, "hello everyone, thank you for coming. I've called you all here at this early hour because many of the villagers would get nervous if they saw the best ninja in the village all met with the hokage at once. I've called you all here because I have chosen who will succeed me as the sixth hokage." Everyone's eyes shot up to look at Tsunade. "But at the annual meeting of the kages, it was decided that all of us have to vote whether or not my candidate will become hokage, agreed?" Everyone looked around at each other and nodded. Tsunade smiled, "excellent, you will have one hour to make your decision. My candidate is Naruto Uzumaki."

Most of them looked unsurprised at her decision. Tsuande went under her desk and pulled out a box and set it on the floor. "Simply write yes or no on a piece of paper and throw it in this box before the end of the hour." Everyone murmured and walked out of the office.

Naruto's Apartment (around 6 a.m.)

Jiraiya walked into Naruto's bedroom and said, "Hey you wake up." Naruto didn't respond. So Jiraiya started kicking his bed, "hey kid, get up."

Naruto groaned and put a pillow over his head, "what do you want? And how the hell did you get in my room?"

Jiraiya shrugged, "I climbed through your window, but that's beside the point, get up, I have something important to tell you." Jiraiya kicked his bed as hard as he could causing Naruto to fall off onto the floor.

Naruto groaned again and threw a pillow at Jiraiya, "go away you old perv! If you're not out of here in three seconds, I'll tell Tsunade the old lady about you peeking at her last week!"

The color immediately drained from his face, "ok, I'll leave…hokage-sama."

Naruto sat up and looked at Jiraiya, "what did you just call me?"

Jiraiya smiled, "now that I finally have your attention, are you going to listen to me?" Naruto nodded, "good, well, early this morning, me and twenty other people voted to see if you would be the next hokage."

Naruto jumped off of the floor, "well tell me the result pervy sage! Am I going to be hokage?!"

Jiraiya yelled, "Calm down! I was getting there before you interrupted me! As I was saying before I was interrupted, we took a vote, and you won sixteen votes to five. When Tsunade gives up her position, you will become the sixth hokage." Naruto jumped up and hugged Jiriya, but Jiraiya pushed him back onto his bed. "Calm down hokage boy! We have much to do before tonight! There is a huge party being held in your honor and every important person in the Leaf Village will be there. So not only do we have to make you look presentable, but you should probably prepare a short speech."

Naruto groaned again, "but I'm a horrible speech writer! Will you help me?"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes, "fine, but first you get dressed and come with me, I have some stuff to show you."

Hyuuga Compound (around noon)

Hinata sat on the floor of her bedroom, deep in meditation. But her thought was interrupted by a loud knock on her door. Sakura's voice rang from the other side of the door, "Hinata, can I come in? I've got something important to tell you!"

Hinata rolled her eyes, "Sakura, I was meditating, can't you come back and tell me later?"

Sakura continued to pound on the door, "No, you want to hear this now trust me! It's about your precious Naruto-kun!"

The door immediately flung open, "what happened to him? Is he hurt?"

Sakura smiled, "no, it's nothing bad like that. In fact, Naruto just got voted to become the sixth hokage."

Hinata smiled, "wow, that's so great, I'm really happy for him."

Sakura shrugged, "but that isn't what I have to tell you. I came here to tell you that there is going to be a big party for Naruto tonight, and you are going to ask him to dance."

Hinata blushed, "what? Me? Ask N-Naruto-kun to dance? I don't know if I can…" Hinata turned away from Sakura.

Sakura moved so Hinata was facing her again, "of course you can Hinata; you just need to have more confidence in yourself. How about this, lets go shopping and buy you a new dress. Then we'll come back here and get you all dressed up for tonight."

Hinata nodded, "ok, and I'll think about asking Naruto to dance tonight."

Sakura smiled, "good girl. Now let's go get you some nice stuff to wear for tonight."

Hinata smiled and followed Sakura out of her room.

Naruto's Apartment (2 hours before the party)

"What the hell was that about pervy sage?! We didn't accomplish anything today! You just made me do all of your housework and then go get something for you from your bank vault! I still have to write that speech!"

Jiraiya sighed, "Here's your payment for the housework." He tossed Naruto a small scroll and he unraveled it. He read the speech that Jiraiya had written for him, "and the package you got from my vault is for you, open it up."

Naruto opened the box that he had picked up and looked inside. Inside was an old white cloak with orange flames on the bottom. He instantly recognized it; it had belonged to his father. Naruto lifted it up and inspected it. "Why are you giving this to me?" Naruto put the cloak on, it fit perfectly.

Jiraiya shrugged, "your dad wanted you to have it. And he wore it to his hokage party, so I thought this was a good time to give it to you."

Naruto spun around in front of a mirror, "this is awesome, thanks pervy sage."

Jiraiya nodded, "well I'm gonna get going, I'll see you at the party."

Naruto watched Jiraiya jump out of his window. He sighed, "Well I should probably go take a shower. The new hokage has to make a good impression on these important Leaf Village people."

At the Party

Sakura and Hinata walked up to the entrance of the ninja academy where the dance was being held. Two jounin nodded at them and opened the door. Inside, the room was dimmed and soft, melodic music played and a few couples were dancing. "Come on, Hinata; let's go see what's happening in the other rooms." So Hinata followed Sakura down a dark hallway and opened the first door that they came to. Inside were three long tables with food and beverages on them. Choji sat eating with a group of jounin that Sakura didn't know. "Hey Choji," Choji looked up at them. "Do you know where Naruto is?"

Choji thought for a second, "oh yeah! He's in the third room on the left of this hallway."

Sakura nodded and left the room with Hinata following close behind. They went to the third room on the left and opened the door. Naruto was laughing with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shizune, and Gaara.

Naruto noticed Sakura and Hinata and walked over to them. "Hey guys, I'm glad you could make it." He turned to look at Hinata, "Hinata, you look great!"

Hinata turned bright red, "thanks Naruto, congratulations on becoming hokage, I-I'm sure you'll be great."

Naruto smiled, "thanks Hinata that means a lot."

Hinata smiled at him, "um, Naruto, can I ask you something?" Naruto nodded and Hinata took a deep breath. "Well I was wondering if you would…um, maybe d-da-,"

"Naruto! It's time for you to give your speech! Everyone else follow me to the main room!"

Naruto looked at Hinata, "you'll have to ask me later Hinata." He turned and walked out of the room, "wish me luck!"

Hinata frowned and walked out of the room and down the hallway to the entrance room. The room was now filled with people looking up at Naruto who was now on stage speaking. Hinata sat on a bench on the far end of the room and witched Naruto speak. He seemed to very confident and he connected with the people, he would be a great hokage.

Naruto began to wrap up his speech, "thank you for all of the support! I promise you, that with your help, I will bring hope to the people, prosperity to our nation, and peace to our village. Thank you." Naruto bowed and thunderous applause broke out among the crowd. He jumped off the stage and people gathered around him the shake his hand. Hinata thought that he would get bored of this very soon, but he stayed there shaking hands and waving. The music had turned back on and the crowd began to disperse and start dancing. Hinata's eyes followed Naruto as he walked away from the crowd and down one of the hallways. Hinata got up off of the bench and followed him. She looked in each of the rooms and eventually found him sitting on a windowsill looking at the sky.

Naruto turned around when she came in, "oh, hey Hinata. Sorry I kind of had to ditch when you were talking to me earlier, what was it that you wanted to ask me?"

Hinata's face turned red again; luckily Naruto couldn't see it in this dark room. She looked down at her feet, "N-Naruto-kun, I wanted to ask if you would…um, maybe like to d-dance with me?"

Naruto hopped off the windowsill and walked over to Hinata who had turned away from him to hide her blushing face. "Do you really want to dance with me?"

Hinata spoke quietly, "yes, very much."

Naruto smiled, "well then let's go!" He grabbed Hinata's hand and practically dragged her out of the room. They ran down the hallway into the main room and Naruto went over to the DJ and whispered something to him. The DJ nodded and everyone in the room watched as Naruto lead Hinata to the middle of the floor. A slow song started playing and Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist. Hinata put her arms around Naruto's neck and laid her head down on his chest. Hinata sighed and smiled, she couldn't remember another time in her life when she had felt so happy, or so safe. She moved her arms from his neck to around his chest and hugged him as tight as she could. Hinata whispered very quietly so Naruto wouldn't hear, "I love you Naruto-kun."

After a few mores songs went by, Tsunade went up on the stage. "Alright everyone, it's getting late, I think everyone should return home now. Thank you all for coming."

Naruto looked at Hinata, "well I better get going, thank your for the dance." Naruto smiled and walked away.

Then Sakura came out of nowhere and hugged Hinata from behind. "You asked him! I told you that you could do it! Let's get going, you can stay at my house tonight and you have to tell me all about it!" Hinata smiled and followed Sakura out of the academy.
