Naruto's Wedding

"Hey Gar! Kankuro! Temari! We're escorts todayy" Natsuko said as she and Lee walked up to the door, her head leaning to the left showing the half up half down braid with the pale blue bow sewn into it. Wearing a light blue Yukata lined with red and green lotus flowers. She wore black biker shorts underneath A black belt around her waist paired with summer sandals, her hokage cloak left at home. Lee wore his usual jumpsuit paired with his chunin vest. 

"This is still a mission. Act like it." Tenten said, swiping at the two, Natsuko using flying raijin to teleport away, landing behind Gaara, 

"I am, You know, I've noticed, that you're very quick to violence, when it comes to your team." Natsuko said before jumping as Temari pushed her back, 

"Youre the escort, get escorting…" She said before also pushing Gaara and Kankuro out, and shutting the door, 

"Natsuko, are you even supposed to be here, Neji said you two were busy with wedding planning." Tenten said as they walked through town and Natsuko looked down, paling slightly, 

"They're going over color paletes. Did you know theres over 70 variations of the color white? Cause I do… Now." She said, as they walked through town, 

"What are you getting Naruto and Hinata?" Kankuro asked and Natsuko hummed, scrunching her face for a moment, before paling, 

"Uhh…" She said, Gaara looking over, 

"You haven't gotten him anything yet?" Lee asked and Natsuko put her hand on the back of her head, as  she did an embarrassed laugh

"I've been trying to figure out something they could both use, So um.. I've been deadlocked" She said her face dusting a light shade of pink 

"You've been approaching it analytically, rather than as his sister.. Haven't you?" Gaara said, and Natsuko turned her head away, 

"Whatttttt, me…. Lee you already get your gift?" Natsuko said, looking away from Gaara, 

"I got him a dumbbell set." He said and Natsuko grinned, 

"I got him and hinata chakra blades." Tenten said and Gaara hummed

"Both your gifts will remind Naruto of you, smart." Natsuko said, before looking at the ramen shop, 

"Well… There might be one person who know's Naruto better than me. Mr. Teuchi, come on" She said grabbing Gaara's wrist, pulling him behind her as she ran up to the ramen shop, which was a few meters ahead of the group. 

"Natsuko" Gaara said as Natsuko released his wrist as she moved the curtain aside. Looking at the end of the barstools, she seemed to stop for a moment, 

"Oh.. I wasn't expecting to see you here. Iruka Sensei." Natsuko said as the man turned, facing the group, Kankuro, Tenten and Lee catching up,  she bowed, tilting her head.

"Thank you for caring for my brother after I left the academy. It truly means a lot." She said and Iruka waved his hands

"Lady fifth please, just forget it okay. I just did my job. Lord Kazekage, what brings you guys by?" Iruka asked and Natsuko hummed, 

"your job includes buying food for academy kids? Naruto's wedding, thinking about what to get him." Natsuko said, before turning to the the guy with the chefs hat coming up to the counter

"Well, I was thinking of giving him this, free ramen for one year coupon." he said and Natsuko hummed before paling, 

"M..Mr. Teuchi." She said pointing behind him, Teuchi didn't turn in time as Ayame walked him with a spare ladle 

"Are you crazy!!" She said, hold the ladle out

"I guess you do have a point… one month then." He said and Natsuko put a hand over her mouth, snickering

"Naruto could eat you out of shop if your not careful old man." She said looking between the two 

"Shes right you know.." Ayame said

"Natsuko what's the most ramen you've seen Naruto eat in one day?" Kankuro asked and Natsuko hummed

"Depends. Are we talking before the academy, during, or after? Cause before and during the academy we would eat a crazy amount of ramen, it's what we could afford you know. But after..I've seen him eat… 50 bowls in one sitting." She said 

putting a finger near her mouth as she looked up, 

"Why 50 bowls… thats… that's a lot of ramen" Gaara said and Natsuko hummed looking over

"If I remember correctly, we made a bet. I won." She said 

"What type of bet was it?" Lee said 

"It was before my first 5kage summit. So… when we were 14. The bet involved cleaning." She said rubbing the back of her head 

"Natsuko, what'll it be today?" She said and Natsuko grinned, 

"Naruto's favorite. The large miso soup ramen with chasu and the fishcakes, please. " She said, 

"We've started marketing them as Naruto fish cakes and they've started selling better" teuchi said

"I'm not calling them that," Natsuko said 

"What about you four?" Teuchi asked, looking at the group, they all called for the same. As the bowls came out Natsuko looked at hers, 

"Hey thanks…" She said taking a bite of the noodles 

"Any ideas, Gar?" Natsuko asked and Gaara shook his head, the group decided to take a break at a bench near the rivers end. Killer B approaching them, telling them about the elected dance Ay was going to do

"B. Does Ay know he's doing this dance? He doesn't seem like the type, you know." Natsuko said leaning against Gaara as Kankuro stood up, B looked over

"That he will as a matter of fact. We've gotta act, fool ya fool." He said and Natsuko hummed, 

"He's sweating." Natsuko whispered to Gaara who looked over, 

"Why're you so obsessed with getting Naruto the perfect gift? Who said it had to be perfect anyway" Natsuko said as Killer B moved on, Gaara hummed a moment, 

"Are you kidding it has to be perfect." Kankuro said and Natsuko shoved his face away, 

"Was talking to Gaara, if you wanna get him a perfect gift then go for it. But I thought this was for Gaara to find his gift or at least get an idea." Natsuko said, Kankuro huffing, before Natsuko suddenly straightened 

"Uh oh…I'm late…" She said before jumping behind Gaara as Tobirama teleported in front of the group, 

"Lady Natsuko.. I can still see you." Tobirama said, Natsuko lowering her head, 

"Yeah… I blame the shrubbery." She said 

"Woooooow, you look amazing. Naruto, Hinata" Natsuko said looking at Hinata who stood in a Lavander kimono with red detailing, the white belt held her fan, holding the red tassel on the end. Her purple hair ihn a curled ponytail, with two strands framing her face as well as her bangs covering her forehead, a white lily flower pined on the left side of her head, complimenting the dress. As well as Hinata's red lipstick and light eyeshadow and other makeup around her face. Naruto wore his spikey hair in it's usual style, some of it falling over the right side of his face, as he wore a black Kaikaru with a white fan in his hand. On his back he held the Uzumaki crest. 

"That's what I was gonna say, aww" Hanabi said, her brown hair falling over her face as she smiled, wearing an orange and kimono with a grey belt and pink climbing up the sleeves. Reaching her ankles where she wore orange traditional sandals, paired with white socks. Hiashi stood behind her, wearing a dark purple kimono paired with a black overcoat, which also reached his ankles, covering his black traditional sandals, paired with his black socks. Natsuko stood in front of Minato, her light red hair in a french braid down her back, a dark blue ribbon sewn into the strands. She wore a teal kimono, with a black belt, and dark red flowers detailed over the fabric. Which stopped at her knees, the skirt poofing out slightly, wearing white shorts underneath. As she wore dark blue sandals. Paired with white socks. Neji stood to the left of Hiashi, behind Hanabi, wearing a similar kimono to Hiashi. His curse mark having been removed after the war, his forehead on full display for the first time since receiving his cursemark. Minato wore a black kimono, the Namikaze symbol in the middle of his back. The kimono reaching his ankles covering his dark blue sandals

"You've truly grown up, Naruto." Minato said, a tear slipping past his eye. The room they were in was small, the window near the back showcasing hokage mountain, where Hashirama's, Tobirama's, Hirizens, Minato's, Natsuko's, and Kakashi's face were carved in. a dark purple rug lined the floor, leading towards the door where The group stood. Naruto grinned, turning, as he and hinata joined hands

"Thanks you know" he said, 

"We don't want to keep the guests waiting at your own wedding ceremony, come on." Neji said kindly he and Natsuko opening the doors, allowing the couple through before following behind out into the field. The girls walking off to talk with the group, dancing and such. 

"So Natsuko, are you and Gaara next to walk down the aisle?" Temari said and Natsuko's face went beet red, matching the detailing on her dress. 

"What?" she said, almost squeaking, the group laughing Temari wore a light violet kimono, stopping at her knees, paired with a black belt and black shorts underneath. She wore matching sandals on her feet, her hair in pigtails behind her head.

"Could as the same about you and Shikamaru, eh, Temari?" Ino said, Temari looking over, her face also going beat red

"You four are so plainly obvious, it kinda hurts." Hanabi said, crossing her arms, blowing her brown hair from her face. 

"Shut up Hanabi, you know." Natsuko said laughing, as the group laughed together, dancing. Ino snapping photos with the group. Before Sai, Shikamaru, Naruto, Gaara, and Neji walked over, the couples dancing slowly.

"Out of everybody in the leaf, she chose a sand ninja, the Kazekage no less." Tobirama said looking at Natsuko and Gaara talking, Natsuko laughing as she gestured widely. Gaara wearing a dark red tunic with dark blue accents. In the pocket, he held a teal flower. As he smiled over at her, putting a small amount of sand to stop her chair from tipping when she leaned back too far. Going completely unnoticed by Natsuko who continued to gesture widely, Hashirama placed a hand on his shoulder, laughing

"It's a different time brother, come now, it's a wedding, time for dancing, not judgement." He said, and Tobirama groaned, putting a hand on his face, 

"I would rather not." He said, Hashirama ignoring him and dragging him to the dancefloor, a few other people dancing

"Gaara and Natsuko, I was wondering when those two would get together it was starting to get awkward when she came to the sand." Kankuro said, standing next to Minato, who'd been standing near Iruka and Kakashi, thanking them for the role they played in his kids' lives. Kankuro wore his usual hood paired with a black suit. 

"I'm gonna go ask them something." Minato said, before noticing Naruto and Hinata walking up, saying something to the couple, Natsuko turning a deep shade of scarlette, Gaara doing the same. As she waved her hands around in front of her face,

"Looks like Naruto, beat you to it." Jiraiya said and Minato hummed, before looking where Natsuko had started looking, the members of the small gathered group doing the same, before pulling out her phone passing it to Gaara, clapping her hands together as she would when excited,  who lifted the device with sand, all four members standing in frame, with Gaara hugging Natsuko his chin on her head, Naruto in a similar position with Hinata. Natsuko and Naruto wearing matching grins

"Guess this means I have a younger sister now" Natsuko said hugging hinata, who grinned. 

"Hey what am I, a chopped liver?" Hanabi said, the 13 year old looking over, laughing with the two, 

"Yes." Natsuko answered jokingly
