Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Chapter 242

Hiruzen laughs his slow repetitive laugh, turning to Uzumaki who steps beside the elder to see before snorting, "ha! I knew it!"

"Isn't that an interesting development," the Hokage voices before the toad disappears in an enormous puff of white smoke.

Temari was nervous before the giant toad appeared and now she's confused. Feeling like she's lost her grip on the direction of the dialog, she reiterates in hopes she hasn't messed up her odds, "as the Kazekage's only daughter, my father has allowed me to submit my own candidate into the preliminary list. The selection process includes an investigation phase of the candidate that requires I get to know Uzumaki Naruto, which is important because I wish to submit him as soon as possible. It has not escaped my notice that he is unique—important to Konoha—and I do not want to cause any undue anxiety between our allied nations."

"You're here to ask my permission," Hiruzen states returning to his seat with an elated Naruto next to him.

"I am, Hokage-sama," Temari concedes. "I came to make my intention clear. I'd like to spend time with Uzumaki-kun and get to know him. It isn't an engagement, however, should everything proceed without incident, I would like Naruto to be my husband." Naruto's eyes couldn't get any larger. He even forgot to breathe until Sarutobi pats his back to get him functioning again. After an awkward moment, Temari nervously offers, "I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have..."

Hiruzen turns the option to respond to a perpetually stunned Naruto and decides to ask instead, "would you be opposed to a chaperon?" She would be opposed to it, however, that might tip them to an ulterior motive. When Temari assures the elder leader she wouldn't, Hiruzen turns to Naruto and responds, "if you're truly to become a clan head and leader of people, I feel this would be a good opportunity for you to learn weighing the options of a situation; the advantages and disadvantages. So, I leave this decision to you."

"I'm sure we can be friends even if this doesn't work out," Temari voices. "And of course, I'll still be grateful for your help. So, would it be okay if I send my father a favorable response?"
