❝ where is my kiss? ❞

as he leaned his back against the chair. He felt very tired. His body was tired because he sat all day and his mind was tired from being used continuously. Especially with paperwork that seems endless.

Being a Hokage is not easy.

He glanced at his reflection from the computer screen on his desk. For several years now, he has only smoothed his blonde hair, with his bangs curled and separated sideways exposing his forehead. It was the style Shizuka suggested, because of Naruto's original intention to cut it short ―which Shizuka immediately rejected―. His blue eyes looked tired and there were dark circles under his eyes.

Naruto slapped his own face. "Back to work!"

And after several hours of torture, he was finally done. Naruto quickly came out of his office, without tidying up, and ran to his house.

With a happy feeling, he opened the door. The first thing he saw after he put off his shoes was the youngest child playing with his game console.

"Father!" the boy looked up, put it on the table, and immediately hugged him tightly.

"Boruto!" Naruto smiled broadly at his son. He is Uzumaki Boruto, the second and youngest child. His looks are similar to Naruto. It's just that his hair is a blend of Shizuka's straight hair with Naruto's spiky hair. It's a little weird actually as it looks like a banana.

"Dattebayou!"

"Dattebassa!"

The two giggled at their own usual greeting as Naruto picked up his son and twirled them.

"Boruto! Don't scream, you will disturb the poor neighbor, nanodayo," someone who was coming out from the inside scolded him. He is Uzumaki Shintarou, Naruto's eldest son, and looks like the male version of Shizuka ―dark green hair parted to the left that doesn't reach his eyes. Light green eyes with prominent lower eyelashes, and wears black-framed glasses. He too has Shizuka's tall genes as he was taller than most of his age― It's just that he has two pairs of whiskers on his cheeks which shows that he is Naruto's son. He is 14 years old but has already become an ANBU, a genius like his mother. "Welcome home, Father. Mother was preparing dinner."

"Alright, thank you, Shintarou," Naruto lowered Boruto who was still clinging to him, and walked deeper into the house.

Just like what his first child said, Shizuka was busy cooking. Her long hair is now tied in a low ponytail with a black ribbon and she wears a brown apron. Now Shizuka is the head of the entire ANBU crops and a member of the Konoha Investigation Team.

Naruto leaned to the island, observing her with a big smile. Didn't intend to disturb her cooking.

"Oh, You're home already," said Shizuka after noticing her husband's presence. Then glanced at the clock on the wall. "You're home early."

"Yeah, I want to spend a little more time with my family," Naruto replied, helping to bring the pot of soup to the dining table.

"You don't have to push yourself. Being the father of the village is hard," said Shizuka, frowning after seeing his tired face, "and our sons already understand that."

"I know," He smiled, "but I am still a father to our family. I can't leave that."

Shizuka sighed. "Whatever you want."

Naruto walked over to her and put his arm around Shizuka's waist. "Where's my welcome home kiss?" he asked while learning forward.

"W-what?!" Shizuka flushed.

"My kiss?" Naruto leaned forward again but Shizuka immediately put her palm on his mouth to stop him.

"S-stop it!"

"Gosh Shi-chan, we've been married for years and you're still embarrassed?" Naruto teased, throwing her his trademark grin.

"Shut up and go wash yourself!! You stink!"

Naruto chuckled and headed straight to the room to do as Shizuka told him to. And after he finished, he headed to the dining table, seeing Shizuka and his sons waiting for him there.

Naruto couldn't feel happier than this. Spending time with his little family. Together with the people he loves.

"Itadakimasu!"

Boruto: ah, I'm curious. Who was your first kiss?

Sarada: Oi, Boruto?!

Shintarou: Boruto! Don't ask something that private! That's not polite, nanodayo!

Boruto: oh come on, nii-san. I'm very curious, ttebassa!

Sarada: Honestly, I'm curious too.

Boruto: what's with your faces?! (looking at the faces of Naruto and Sasuke that seemed to be holding back vomiting. And the faces of Shizuka and Sakura which looked normal but looked uncomfortable)

Naruto and Sasuke: (хдх)

Shizuka and Sakura: (_　_|||)

Sarada: *squeal* if you are shy, you can just point it!! Or write the name!

...

Naruto and Sasuke pointing at each other.

Shizuka pointing at Sasuke

Sakura pointing at Naruto

Sarada: -_-（¯口¯）

Shintarou: What sorcery is this?!

Boruto: PLOT TWIST! PLOT TWIST!!

I am very proud of myself for finishing this book. I honestly don't want to publish this chapter. But well...

Anyway, I'm sorry for any mistakes in this book. And thank you all for your support! I'm so touched(╥﹏╥)

:

1. At first this story was Sasuke x OC, but because Shizuka's character didn't really suit Sasuke so I switched to Naruto.

2. Shizuka is older than Naruto.

3. The character Shizuka follows are from Midorima Shintarou from the anime Kuroko no Basket

4. Oha Asa is a kind of horoscope.

5. Nanodayo is from 'Nanoda' is a form of the verb "to be"（in this case simply 'da' / だ）, used to indicate , whereas yo / よ gives a nuance of 'presenting new information' to someone or of 'trying to convince' someone. In actual usage, the effect 'nanodayo' has is somewhat similar to saying "This is fact.", "That is how it is." or "It is so." after making a statement.
