The Fourth Hokage's Love Story

Whenever asked what his favorite flower is, Minato Namikaze always smiles and answers, “Cherry blossoms.”

Because that is the name of the person he loves most.

He doesn’t know when this love began. He only realized it once his heart and mind were already filled with her.

She is the dream of his youth, his blood and bone, his soul, and his one and only.

At nine years old, the truancy queen, Harano Sakura, made her first friend her own age.

Her friend had brilliant blond hair and sky-blue eyes. Most importantly, he was the kindest person in the world.

No matter what she said, he went along with it.

Even her dream, which made her stand out in the village.

Her friend was kind, helped her study in his spare time, and even got rid of the celery she hated more than anything in the world.

Harano Sakura immediately decided that they would be friends for life.

To repay the world’s best friend, Harano Sakura vowed to make the best ointment ever. She sought help not only from her adoptive mother and Big Sister Tsunade, but even found a way to work with the strangest of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru.

She never expected that, through a twist of fate, she would end up making the world’s most powerful “skincare product.”

The noblewomen and young ladies went wild, and so did the merchants who smelled a business opportunity.

And at some point, even the “world’s best” friendship between them seemed to change into something else.

Harano Sakura: Wait, I only made an ointment. What do you mean I’m a candidate for Fourth Hokage?!

It’s a Love Story About the Fourth Hokage, but Don’t Ask Who the Fourth Hokage Is

Reader’s note:

This breaks up the Minato-Kushina pairing!!!

This is important, so I’m saying it up front!!!

A romance-brained story inspired by how I fall for the Fourth Hokage every time I rewatch Naruto.

Just as the title says, it’s a romance full of cuddling, written as the ideas come to me.

Once again, this is an indulgent, love-powered creation, with heaps of original worldbuilding. If it’s not for you, click the X in the top left and leave. No need to comment, and thanks for being so sweet, everyone. I hope you have a wonderful time reading. Mwah!

Probably won’t be a long story (probably).

OK?
