"Guess who your future wife is, goshujin," she smiled.
"Um, are you okay Mei, because I'm not your husband?" Naruto asked once he comprehended what the Mizukage had told him.
"I'm fine Naruto, I mean, aren't you," she glanced around then pulled Naruto in alley to avoid any overhearing. "Aren't you the son of Namikaze Minato?"
"Namikaze Minato? I know that name," Naruto thought for a second with his eyes closed. Three seconds later his eyes shot open as he looked at Mei, "Y-yondaime-sama? Konoha's Yellow Flash!"
"Uh-huh, aren't you his son?" Mei asked again, confused at the blond's reaction. She recognized him immediately as soon as she'd found out he was actually a shrunken person rather than a toy.
Naruto was confused, angry, happy, sad, and shocked all at the same time. Within the alley, the blonde teenager slumped to the ground. The man that he had adored his entire life, the man that he had always wanted to surpass, the Yondaime Hokage, was his father; it was too much for the boy to take in at once.
Terumii Mei knelt before her betrothed and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. When he looked up at her she spoke with a saddened tone, "I know, you didn't know. Sarutobi-sama kept the truth hidden from you to keep you safe from people like Iwagakure. I…I was told you had died during the Kyuubi's attack, but…you're alive, and I know this is a lot to take in, but, believe it or not Naruto, we're engaged."
One blink, two blinks, three blinks and then laughter erupted from the blondeson of the Yondaime Hokage, "Okay now I know you're joking!"
A small, stunned expression crossed Mei's eyes before she narrowed the one eye that was visible, uncovered by her long, brunette hair. "Why would I joke about something like this? For fifteen years I thought you were dead! Then I find you alive…"
"No, no that's not it," Naruto stammered. "I'm only fifteen, how can I be engaged? I mean, I've never even met you before."
Mei smiled as the simple explanation before speaking again, "Well, my father, the Sandaime Mizukage, sixteen years ago set up an arranged marriage between myself and you while your parents were expecting you as a means to create an alliance between our two villages. But because when the Yondaime Mizukage started the war on those who had Kekkai Genkai, Sarutobi-sama thought I was killed as well."
Naruto's mind felt like it was going to explode from information overload. He was suppose to get married? And to a Kage no less! The fox was sealed into him by his own father? He knew the fox's power better than anyone and knew that if even the Shinigami couldn't get rid of the fox, then that had to mean the fox was immortal. Therefore what couldn't be killed could however be imprisoned. Naruto would need to think about this, right now he was torn between hating his father and understanding why he did what he did. And he understood why he was never told about his betrothed at least.
"So ready for the wedding, darling?" Mei asked seductively
"Um...no offence, but I don't feel exactly comfortable with getting married to you right this second." Naruto said.
Mei frowned. "Why not?"
"I mean...shouldn't we get to know one another first?" Naruto said quickly, not wanting to upset his bride-to-be.
Mei blinked a few times before she laughed and reached towards Naruto and pinched his cheek with the tips of her thumb and index fingers "Ho you wanted to go out on a date and get to know one another first rather than rush things and marry someone that's still more or less a stranger! That's alright my goshujin. Sorry, I thought you weren't going to marry me!"
She let go of his cheek and scooped him up in her hand
"Now my goshujin, what say we enjoy a night on the town?"
"Um, are you okay Mei, because I'm not your husband?" Naruto asked once he comprehended what the Mizukage had told him.
