Chapter 19

Naruto paused to take a deep breath to try calm himself and stop his hand from shaking. He realise with a start that everyone was listening quietly and attentively. "Any questions?" Hands were raised instead of them shouting over each other. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the sudden change. "They respect you." Ryuji said, nudging Naruto. Naruto pointed to one of the reporters in the first row. "Are you in a relationship?" A few hands went down due to the fact that their question being asked.
"Yes." The reporters looked amused when the employees of the merged corporations made themselves known by bolting up from their seats to gawk at him. "Why didn't you tell us!" One of them cried out, mock hurt.
"It was personal! It's not like you guys are gonna help us elope so we can get married without all this troublesome work... Oh my kami, that's an amazing idea." Naruto said, the last part was mostly to himself.
"You better not run off young man." The woman chided playfully, locking him in a headlock.
"Next question!" Naruto called out, looking up from the head lock position. He really hated being so short sometimes. Many more hands shot up from the sudden display between the boss and his employee.
"... She's touching you..." The reporter pointed to said in disbelieve.
"What? I am not kami, of course she can touch me. Let me go! Stop taking advantage of my height!"
"Never!" The woman declared, rubbing her fist on his head for emphasis.
"But she is your employee and you are her boss!" The reporter said, bewildered and still slightly horrified.
"Nah. We are a team. No such things as superiors and inferiors." Naruto said and felt the pressure loosen. He looked up to see the woman looking teary. "My heart... You're too cute. I'm going to cry." The woman sniffled and released Naruto, wiping at her eyes. Naruto whipped out a packet of tissues and held it out to the woman. Collective 'awws' came from the audience.
"Next!"
"Who are you in a relationship with? Councillor Danzo has said once that he arranged a marriage-"
"No." Naruto's bodyguard snarled angrily, frightening quite a few people. Naruto looked over, slightly startled from the sudden loudness. "Danzo is not allowed arrange this sort of things, it can and is in fact considered illegal. We have pressed charges and are in the process of collecting more information. We know for a fact that Danzo is involved in many illegal activities and we have handed over those suspicions which were later confirmed and proved. The police are currently taking action as we speak." At that, it sent the reporters into a frenzy - all trying to rely the news back to their bosses and to start getting an interview from Danzo. Naruto knocked his fist with Ryuji when the man stepped away for him to take over. Naruto waved away the opportunity. He sat himself into the table, taking a cookie from the plate on the table.
Naruto smiled cutely when he received a text from Itachi. A few seem to notice as they started trying to questioning him. "Who's your girlfriend?"
"Are you guys getting married?"
"Do we know her?"
"Is she famous?"
"Is she rich?" The questions were all fired at him and Naruto looked startled and amused at the same time. Naruto raised a hand and all sound seized immediately. "Mind all of you, I am only 16 and not getting married anytime soon. Not that I mind marrying him." Naruto mumbled to himself but the microphone in his hand caught that. "Oops." Naruto said, his hand flying over the microphone and his face flushed even more, making him look cuter and even more innocent. Men and women alike, both tried to contain their squeals and nosebleeds. "Wait wait! Him?!"
"Right! Next point, I am bisexual, but truth to be I am perfectly happy with my current boyfriend. So.... Let's move on. A few more quick questions and we'll move on to the main point and people can resume watching their tv dramas. I know for starters that all of you have interrupted some tv show just to air this conference live. Which is extremely awkward..." Naruto said, chewing on yet another cookie.
"Why are you still eating, you polished off half the plate of chocolate chip cookies all by yourself?" One of the reporter asked.
"The question is how he can still stay so tiny. You should see the amount he can eat." One of Naruto's employee exclaimed.
"I am not tiny! I have a fast metabolism and I exercise! Deal with it! I'm always hungry and I can't help it."
"Then how do you survive not eating for a whole day due to the fact that you were too busy to? Hmm? Hmm?!"
"Ahh, those things. Those are the days I like to risk with death by not eating." Naruto said, waving his cookie around. "Quickly next!"
"Hobbies?"
"... Good question... I really like figure skating and learning new stuff. Especially science stuff, those stuff are cool."
"Fears?"
"I would say anything related to public. I hate cameras! Like this for example, look my hands are still trembling." Naruto stopped moving around to show them all.
"But you seem so confident!" One of the reporters shouted out.
"Well, these guys would chop off my head if I didn't do this." Naruto joked, waving a hand in his employees general direction. "And this will happen sooner or later anyways. As people like to say: fake it till you make it. I think I did a pretty good job. Now all the fun fun stuff is roughly covered, I'll go over the serious stuff, one minute." Naruto jumped off the table and started pacing at a slow pace, eyes followed him as he went back and forth while talking. "We have expanded the corporation to overseas and as we speak, many others are investing in the corporation. We sponsor organisations and many others. The corporation has invested in more than half of the market."
Naruto talked clearly and was straight to the point, captivating everyone. Many understood him clearly and we're all eager to hear more from the kid. If this kid is going to be leading the future, I think everyone can die happy now.
