I do not own Naruto and have no rights to it or viz.
TAILS OF FIRE AND EYES OF SNOW
Location: Konoha
Month: early May
After a long, 3 years of non-stop missions, Tsunada decided that the village ninja needed a summer off from all the chaos. She posted a notice that stated "No missions will be assigned until September, therefore all ninja are ordered to take a reprieve until then. Have a nice summer signed, Tsunada."
Naruto, who has been on 8 straight missions, was like a zombie, not wanting to do anything but slam his head on a pillow. Before he could do that he felt an almost dire need for a warm shower having been on 8 straight missions he had no real time for a chance to wash up. He smelt so bad he could scare even a skunk away. He started home, not even noticing the edict on the gate set by Tsunada.
Naruto walked inside and felt like passing out right there on the mat but the smell would only keep him awake. He shot up stairs and jumped in the shower. He was about halfway done, when he sat down in the tub feeling the hot water hit his skin. It made him think of one of his missions involving fire-style and water. Naruto soon started to drift in and out of sleep, and eventually he passed out with the water still on. He awoke 30 minutes later and felt like his whole body was numb. When his senses caught up with him he felt the freezing water hitting him and bolted out of the shower nearly tripping over the curtain. With out a second thought he went to the heater and leaned over it trying to warm up. He then remembered that he left the water on and bolted back into the bathroom but slipped on a puddle of water and fell flat on his face in the pool of water.
45 minutes later, a soft voice called out from down stairs "Naruto…..Naruto are you home" Naruto was asleep on the bathroom floor snoring in the pool of water he slipped on. The voice called out to him again "Naruto are you up there" foot steps came from behind him as he heard "naru…..oh my… goodness...Naruto Kun you're…" Naruto suddenly awoke from the surprised voice only to find that it was Hinata Hyugga. She stood behind him and blushed as she could see his rear end. Hinata suddenly turned away and said "I'm so sorry Naruto I didn't know you were….umm…" With her reaction he stood up and waved his hands over his head and with his unique expression said" oh no…it's nothing, ya see I kinda tripped and fell…down…ahh…Hinata whats the matter" noticing that he was naked " oh whoops" Hinata, who is only an innocent young girl, felt light headed and was completely red and fainted. Naruto saw her about to fall and stopped her head from hitting the hard wooden door frame. "What the heck was that about" he said while scratching his head, not understanding why she had fainted he brought her to his room and laid her on his bed. He then grabbed a chair and sat next to her waiting for her to wake up so he can apologies to her.
2 hours later, she awoke and she turned her head to see Naruto at the side of the bed with his arms up on the side "so you're finally awake huh". Hinata now just remembered why she fainted and turned away from him to hide the inevitable blush that was appearing on her face. Naruto, seeing that Hinata was hiding from him sighed and said calmly "I know a little wile ago was a little much for you I understand that, but I slipped on a puddle and was unconscious and I could not hear you coming". Hinata giggled a little thinking about the awkward way he was on the floor but said nothing more. A few minutes later she faced him and said "Naruto….I came here to…" she struggled to find the words. "Came here to…what Hinata" he said impatiently. "I came here to ask if you could spend the summer with me and relax before going on another mission" she bites her bottom lip and forcefully swallowed as she waited to hear his answer. Naruto raised his hands and put them on the back of his head and said "gees I don't know…..I'm pretty sure I will be getting missions over the summer, besides you know that." Hinata said "you didn't see the edict that Tsunada posted on the village gate when you came back from your mission?" "What are talking about, what edict" she pointed out the window on the balcony and said "go look for your self you can see it from here" Naruto walked over to the balcony and squinted to help him see it "WHA…..WHAT? TSUNADA ORDERED A IMMEDIT WHAT" he said in disbelief to the notice. Hinata then said to make it clearer to Naruto "Tsunada really thinks that the ninja of Konoha need to take a break" Naruto said suddenly "I don't need a vacation, I'm at the top of my game" Hinata then said " you might be, but every one else is worn out, and besides its an order from lady Hokage" Naruto sighed deeply and said "ok fine, I guess I can't train because that pervy sage is gone and I got nothing better to do, ok I will spend the summer with you, sure" Hinata nodded, pleased with his answer. "Besides I always wanted to spend some time to get to know you" she blushed at this remark and thought to her self "he cares…..Naruto really cares about me" he then said "anyway it's been along time since I had a vacation"
So ends the 1st chapter of the unexpected vacation of 2 young ninja: Naruto the clumsy, idiot and Hinata the shy girl with a hidden love for Naruto.
