In this world, Neji is injured severely, but he is not dying and he sends a tiny apology to Lady Hinata but chooses his own selfishness and gets a battlefield confession held in the arms of the one he loves. He understands Naruto’s blush and lack of answer. Naruto is not one accustomed to confessions of love, let alone two. (Hinata had of course made her own.) Now Naruto is also the hero of Konoha. Defeater of Pain. People smile and cheer when they see him. Neji watches this, watches via Tenten’s often missed gaze as his own family makes plans to push for the shiny new hero and the Hyuuga heiress.

Naruto does visit him, but his heart is still caught up with Sasuke and Neji will not begrudge him that. (How can he? That devotion is one of the traits Neji loves about that loud golden boy.) He does give Neji get well flowers (which makes Tenten giggle and both boys blush) and a renewed vow of aiding in eventually stopping the Hyuuga system of slavery.

Hiashi has been observing this and sees a new road. Once again he approaches his hospital bound nephew, this time with his eldest daughter in tow and speaks to them as plainly as he knows how. Both accept his words, though world events naturally prevent much from happening for quite a long time.

Neji will never forget the feel of Naruto and Kyuubi’s chakra enveloping him on the battlefield…

He isn’t thrilled mind you about Naruto and Sasuke’s big fight, nor Naruto’s missing arm but he does not arrogantly ignore the happy worn out smiles touching the faces of both combatants when he aides Haruno in retrieving them. Nor does he ignore the almost bereft look when Sasuke realizes he does not get to die side by side with his most precious person today.

So while the Uchiha waits in prison for Naruto to wake up and demand his release (as he will undoubtedly do) Neji goes to speak to the young man. He speaks of the future and of protecting Naruto’s personal Will of Fire, which others may try to tamp out or temper to be more suitable to their own ends.

He speaks of the vengeance of living well, of forcing the Elders of Konoha, the Elders of the Hyuuga clan, to see them rise and thrive to see them be the aide that Naruto will need when words and politics become his battlefield and all his years of physical training are for naught.

Sasuke gives him the barest of nods. Neji is relieved. Hate is hard to let go but whatever occurred in their battle, Sasuke has now chosen Naruto over it.

Neji had worried about Lady Hinata…she had been quiet on her feelings ever since he father spoke to them, yet when he leaves Sasuke’s holding cell he does not go far before she joins him. She allays his worries, with possibly the most she had ever said to him. “Don’t…don’t worry so, about me.” The shy girl tells him. “This is best. I love Naruto…but I have never truly inspired him, not like you or Sasuke… I can quietly and gently love him, I can offer my name and bloodline…this way…these things will also help others. I couldn’t see past becoming strong for myself. Well, if I wasn’t confident in helping myself how could I ever hope to help anyone else in our family?

Feeling Naruto’s emotions during the final battle…I have no fear that Naruto has it in him to love a lot of people, this way many people may have the chance to love him and protect him in return. Better than I ever could alone.” Neji-nii.

Neji looks are her only slightly hunched shoulders and her faintly blushing cheeks and pats her head. “I am glad this is a road we will walk together... imoto.” He says.

During this time another ally comes forward. Shion, Priestess of the Land of Demons, who comes looking for Naruto in hopes of getting him to fulfill a promise he, made her.

She has a lot of spirit and Neji is relieved she likes the plan. What the “plan” ultimately boils down to, when they finally hit Naruto with it in the Hokage’s (Hatake Kakashi’s) office, Sasuke an ominous near the future Hokage’s shoulder.

It’s for Naruto to marry. All of them. (Neji loves him but it doesn’t stop him from wanting to laugh at the teakettle screech Naruto gives out).

Shion takes point on this, gazing soulfully into Naruto eyes, while ensuring a blushing Hinata is directly behind her and in Naruto’s eyeline. She holds his hands and (with Naji and Sasuke aiming glares and even Shikamaru (who wasn’t going to be shut out) grunting occasionally to prevent Kakashi from trying to speak up, explains how if the Savior of the World, Hero of all the Hidden Villages, weds both a main and side branch Hyuuga, it will show how he doesn’t view one as lesser than the other,it will be a big dent in the Hyuuga marrying Sasuke will show that he at least holds the young man’s loyalty, even in no one else can claim it. Marriage to Shion will also show that Naruto and Hidden Leaf aren’t prejudice against outsiders. Also what better way to show peace and unity than a nice big wedding?

Hinata speaks then; “Also…Naruto-kun…it…these are good reasons but…all of us would marrying you…even without…um…such advantages.” Naruto’s face turns redder, but Neji can see tears in those blue eyes, tears that flow more as he glances at each of them and receives a nod. (Neji thinks is Sasuke had less poise the boy would be just as red as he gives a stiff nod.

Kakashi tries to divert them…Naruto needs to train to become a chunin, Sasuke refuses to don a hidden leaf headband (this almost starts a fight, for once Naruto understands why Sasuke won’t wear the brand of the people who caused his Clan’s death (obviously) Naruto comes in on Sasuke’s side. Says he brought Sasuke back for him anyway, not for anyone else. Shikamaru gives some dry but pointed statements from the sidelines, and Kakashi only attempts to once bring up Haruno, to which Sasuke nearly growls “if you think she’s so special you marry her, I owe her nothing. I’m not obligated to like her just because she supposedly likes me.”

So it is concluded that the engagements will be announced soon…(in time Shikamaru says…for other countries to potentially offer up candidates. ) (Naruto makes a big show of not hearing that part. Meanwhile Naruto is to dedicate himself to his studies (to the blondes horror).

Shion cheerfully kisses Naruto’s cheek before taking her leave, needing to go to her assistants to speak of what has been decided. Hinata merely squeaks a goodbye, but cannot hide her broad, happy smile as she turns to leave and Neji offers Naruto a blushing bow, before following.

nsfw! Naruto/Hinata/Shion sextuple drabble.

#1. NaruHina (Naruto Uzumaki x Hinata Hyūga) - Meant To Be, Written In The Stars, Soulmates, call them what you want, but yeah. The flagship of not JUST the fleet of Naruto romantic relationships, but the ARMADA of anime romantic relationships. Let that sink in.

#2. NaruShion (Naruto Uzumaki x Shion) - She’s a bleach blonde, pink iris invert of Hinata Hyūga, but went through the emotional wringer of solitude, which makes them an ideal couple. Also, if Naruto made such an impression on her to the point she openly offers him to put a baby in her… YEAH. She EARNS the #2 spot. Also, in comparison to Hinata, there’s a Pokémon reference joke to be made. (Hint: it’s from Generation 7.)

#3. NaruHana (Naruto Uzumaki x Hanabi Hyūga) - Listen, it’s like a 5 year age gap, it’s not a bad idea, & there IS potential. I for 1 find it a cute & funny idea of the sister of Naruto Uzumaki’s #1 cheerleader to be romantically attracted to her sister’s huggy fox. There’d be a verbal, but civil back and forth between the sisters over who gets to be the lucky lady.

#4. NaruKona (Naruto Uzumaki x Konan) - Right off the bat, Konan is, for all intents and purposes, the Akatsuki equivalent of Hinata Hyūga. The idea of a stoic woman seeing the light, so much to the point being romantically infatuated with Naruto, yeah, I’d be adventurous too. Upon retrospect, 1 of the most interesting “I Can Fix Her” relationships to think about. (Also, there’s nothing wrong with Younger Man, Older Woman romantic relationships, we’re only human.)

#5. NaruIno (Naruto Uzumaki x Ino Yamanaka) - Top 5 territory, y’all! With Naruto’s energetic outlook, & Ino’s spunky personality, & you’ve got some considerable competition for Hinata Hyūga. Also, Blank Period (The Last) Naruto & Ino? Mother of God, she’d be pregnant with triplets!

#6. NaruKurot (Naruto Uzumaki x Kurotsuchi) - Hear me out. Yes, they had a VERY little amount of interaction time, & they started off on the wrong foot. But when you see where they end up in Boruto? Hokage & Tsuchikage? That’s what we call a power couple! Also, if you squint your eyes, she looks eerily similar Tenten (Different hairstyle/hair color, of course).

#7. NaruAmaru (Naruto Uzumaki x Amaru) - A relationship so out of pocket, so out of left field, even I thought would be at the bottom of the post. But miraculously, Amaru has earned her place in the Top 10. A tomboy girl becoming slowly attracted to Naruto through their shared loneliness, so much to the point she jumps in the air, down towards him to catch him at the risk of being splattered, you can tell she wants it.

#8. NaruSasame (Naruto Uzumaki x Sasame Fūma) - The 1st filler girl of the Naruto anime, but not the last. Appearing in the 1st arc after the Sasuke Retrieval arc, there’s potential for a romance between these 2. Short term romance that would result in a drift-apart, sure, but potential nonetheless. For all his denseness, Naruto shows the audience he has rizz, & he doesn’t even TRY.

#9. NaruRyū (Naruto Uzumaki x Ryūzetsu) - The last movie girl in the Naruto franchise, Ryūzetsu manged to secure her place in the Top 10 in time. The idea of Naruto being able to charm a tough-as-nails Anbu, to the point of exchanging her life for a dying Naruto? I’d be left speechless to learn someone loved me to the point they’d consciously trade their life for mine. A good example of Never Meant To Be romantic relationship. (Also, Ryūzetsu’s silver hair is BEAUTIFUL. Combine that with her athletic build, & I’d imagine Naruto putting twins into her.)

#10. NaruTen (Naruto Uzumaki x Tenten) - How do you define “Wasted Potential”? This relationship. I imagine this being a grudging romantic relationship, the kind of which it’s a slow crawl, but it’s THERE. It’d be interesting to see how the chemistry would play out. Naruto’s raging fire resolve, & Tenten’s public fetish for weapons, & you have a power couple dynamic that would be mentioned by the Kages. (Also, they LOOK cute together.)

#11. NaruSāra (Naruto Uzumaki x Sāra) - Upon first glance, Naruto would’ve fulfilled his mother’s wish of finding a girl like her, at least in aesthetics. Overall, an interesting twist on the prince/princess story dynamic, given the setting & universe it’s in. (Doesn’t Sāra REALLY look like Kushina Uzumaki?)

#12. NaruTema (Naruto Uzumaki x Temari) - This relationship is no doubt a hot take, but humor me. Temari is arguably just as lousy a romantic partner for Naruto Uzumaki as Sakura Haruno, but what makes this relationship 1 in a million is that Temari arguably wouldn’t be as physically abusive to Naruto as Sakura is, only when she NEEDS to be. As for what would spark this relationship? Well, Temari would consider Naruto Uzumaki being a dumbbell not worth her time or effort in the slightest at first. However, after being genuinely surprised that Naruto’s selflessness towards others being extended to her brothers, Gaara & Kankuro, would play a factor, arguably major. She’d be able to see that Naruto’s pros outnumber his cons. She’d become slowly attracted to Naruto, & keep that fact under lock & key. Eventually, she’d work up the nerve to have a 1-on-1 heart-to-heart with him, & tell him how she feels. Overall, same relationship as she has with Shikamaru Nara, but not as abusive, his charm would no doubt have her lighten up.

#13. NaruKagu (Naruto Uzumaki x Kaguya Ōtsutsuki) - Please just listen. Regardless of your opinion of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki as a character, you CANNOT deny the idea of Naruto Uzumaki, a man with a double-sided resumé of womanizing at the point of the Kaguya arc, having an INHUMAN boyish charm to the point of a FREAKING GODDESS wanting his baby batter, is nothing short of entertaining. Granted, it’d be a one-sided relationship cranked up to an 11, but maybe she’d love it so much, she’d clean up her entire act. It’d be a crawl, but it COULD happen. The idea alone is why she isn’t at the bottom.

#14. NaruShizu (Naruto Uzumaki x Shizuka) - A relationship even I knew would never happen. The only thing she’s really got going for her is her looks. She’s just in 1 episode, whereas the other filler girls either had several episodes or even movies to leave a lasting impression. She’s pretty, she’s a skilled fighter, but she’s forgettable. Despite those cons, she’s better than the girls below her. Oh well.

#15. NaruSaku (Naruto Uzumaki x Sakura Haruno) - Boy oh boy, what can be said about this relationship? Fan backlash of Sakura’s shitty treatment of the titular character, combined with Sakura’s 1-dimensional “Damsel In Distress” trope, throw in the Sunken Cost Fallacy in regards to Sasuke Uchiha, a character who wants NOTHING to do with Sakura, with a seasoning of a struggling writer trying to figure out what to do with characters, & you have the unholy, inbred union of Missed Opportunity AND Never Meant To Be romantic relationships. How that’s even possible, I fail to understand. I don’t care if they look cute together, Naruto is many things, but he is NOT Sakura’s physical stress doll.
