Honoka replied, "Didn't you hear right? I said my name is Uzumaki Honoka. Naruto-kun and I are Uzumaki by birth. Though we're distant cousins, you and everyone in Konoha will look at me as his new big sister from now on."
"As much as we like to stay and explain how a female Uzumaki was found, we still have to see the Hokage about our mission and Honoka's appearance. Now, if you two will excuse us," Kakashi said before anything further could happen. The group continued on their way to the Hokage Tower, leaving the two speechless Chuunin at the main entrance.
"That hot babe is Naruto's cousin?" Izumo remarked while trying to believe what he and his friend just learned.
"I didn't think the kyuubi-gaki had any existing relatives, let alone outside of Konoha! Heads will roll when this news gets out!" Kotetsu added.
Honoka looked around the village as she took in everything her eyes saw. The trees, shops, houses, restaurants, gardens, the famous Hokage Monument, the populous, her eyes captured it all. And speaking of the populous, she noticed how some of them were looking at her as she walked next to Naruto with her arm still around his shoulders. Some men turned their heads to look at her also, only to be smacked across the back of their heads by their wives or girlfriends, if they weren't single.
"You're becoming quite a celebrity Honoka-nee. I hope those women don't try anything spiteful out of jealousy," Naruto teased.
"They would do well to keep their men on a leash rather than to misdirect their senseless jealousy on an innocent newcomer," Honoka said.
"In any case, there are a number of people I'm dying to introduce you to after we stop by to see Jii-sa-"
"Naruto-kun!" a sweet feminine voice called out.
Naruto and the others turned to see Hinata, Kiba, and Shino approaching them. Upon seeing the older female with Naruto, Hinata looked at the scene questionably, but she decided not to jump to any conclusion without knowing anything first. Kiba smiled and blushed as he checked out the older female, and Akamaru barked and leaped out of his master's coat to run over to Honoka. Shino looked at the young woman with curiosity, feeling a strange sensation from his bugs asking permission to go over to Honoka, wanting to sample her sweet chakra.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto exclaimed happily as he ran over and embraced the surprised Hyuuga heiress tightly before kissing her deeply and shamelessly in front of everyone. Whatever embarrassment Hinata felt from Naruto's stunt just now was canceled out from the feeling of his embrace and his tongue in her mouth, as she returned the kiss and hugged him back.
Sasuke groaned lowly and turned and looked away, not wanting to watch, while Sakura wished that was her and Sasuke doing that. Honoka giggled at the scene while kneeling down and petting Akamaru, as the small dog panted and wagged his tail enthusiastically. Kakashi looked on in boredom.
"What's that boy doing with that girl mommy?" an innocent five-year-old girl asked.
"Just ignore them," the mother answered as she continued on her way with her daughter, though the young girl kept looking at them curiously.
"But sometimes I see you and Daddy do that together too. Is it fun doing that? Can I do it too?" the girl asked.
The embarrassed mother blushed and replied, "I'll tell you when you're old enough to understand."
While Hinata and Naruto were in their own world, Kiba and Shino turned their attention to the female companion that was accompanying Naruto earlier and still petting Akamaru.
"Whoever that woman is, Akamaru already took a serious liking to her," Kiba observed.
"My bugs have taken a keen interest in the newcomer before us as well. Even now, I'm fascinated at the excited frenzy my bugs are having from her presence. It's taking all of my willpower not to succumb to their desire to head over to her and allow them to taste her chakra. They insist it must be the sweetest they will ever taste," Shino commented.
Reluctantly, Naruto pulled away from Hinata, who was looking back at him with a lively smile of her own.
"Damn! I wanted to do that for days! It was hard being without the ability to satisfy that need," Naruto said with a grin.
Hinata licked her lips as though she was savoring the taste his lips and said, "I missed you too, Naruto-kun. But who's your new friend?"
The young Hyuuga pointed over to Honoka.
"She's someone I want you guys and everyone else to meet!" Naruto said excitedly as he led Hinata and her team to Honoka. The older woman stood back up to look at the Genin team coming over to her.
Honoka smiled and greeted, "So you must be the lovely Hyuuga heiress that Naruto-kun told me so much about. Hinata, yes?"
Hinata blushed and replied, "Yes. I'm Hyuuga Hinata and Naruto-kun's girlfriend. And who might you be?"
"I'm Uzumaki Honoka," Honoka replied. Hinata, Kiba and Shino blinked as if their minds were just fried. The older female looked at their comical expressions and added, "I'm Naruto-kun's distant cousin, and new big sister. We found each other during his first mission outside Konoha a few weeks ago."
"It's true. She and Naruto are of the same Uzumaki bloodline descent," Kakashi said after a long period of silence.
After what was said was fully processed, Hinata congratulated and cheered happily, "Naruto-kun, this is so wonderful! You found a part of your family! I'm so happy for you!"
"YOU'RE UZUMAKI HONOKA? YOU'RE NARUTO'S DISTANT RELATIVE?" Kiba shouted in disbelief, now getting all of the attention of the villagers nearby that heard that name. They came by to look at the woman and Naruto.
Some of the villagers sneered at the two, and one of them jeered, "Don't believe that garbage for even a second! I'm sure it's another one of that stupid brat's pranks he's playing on us! Just ignore him!"
Honoka gave the crowd a cold stare and performed a set of hand seals. Suddenly chakra chains appeared out of the ground and bound the instigator and several other villagers who sneered at them.
"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Honoka said as she produced over a hundred solid clones that surrounded the crowd and onlookers. The clones themselves looked ready for anything.
"This is no prank. I'm the real deal," Honoka stated.
