Unknown-nin345: Hello readers. This is a small one-shot that I came up with when I heard my little brother watching the Disney movie: Camp Rock. After listening to a couple of the songs on the movie, an idea began to form in my head and I eventually came up with this: my first songfic. There will be fluff and OOC-ness. Takes place right after the Wave Arc.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or "This is me" & "I Gotta Find You" from the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock. If I did then I wouldn't be writing this would I?

Fourteen-year old, blonde-haired Uzumaki Naruto absentmindedly strolled through one of the many parks located in Konohagakure while the moon shone brightly in the starry canopy known as the sky. The blonde genin sighed and looked up at the shining stars above as if searching for answers to soothe his troubled mind. His team, if you could call it that, had just gone on a C-rank mission that had been upgraded by his 'sensei' to an A-rank due to what they experienced on their mission to Nami no Kuni.

First they had been attacked by two chunin-level nuke-nins known as the Demon Brothers; at first it had seemed like Kakashi-sensei had been killed, but the one-eyed jounin revealed that he had used the Kawimari no Jutsu after Naruto had been cut by one of the Demon Brother's claws and Sasuke had disabled the Brothers. It was then and there he had sworn to never run from anything, no matter the danger to himself, or be so afraid that he would be a hazard to the mission.

They then continued on with the mission with the next attack coming from the A-rank Kiri nuke-nin Momochi Zabuza. Kakashi had been trapped in a water prison by Zabuza after a couple minutes of fighting and had told the genin to take the client and run. Naruto, however, simply used his sensei's saying against him and teamed up with Sasuke (much as he loathed admitting it) and freed Kakashi from the prison. Their sensei then nearly killed Zabuza but was halted by the arrival of the zanbatou-wielder's accomplice, Haku, who was posing as a Kiri hunter-nin. Haku left with Zabuza while Naruto was forced to carry Kakashi who had collapsed from chakra exhaustion as the group continued to their client's house.

After Kakashi had recovered, the cycloptic-jounin proceeded to teach the three genin the tree climbing exercise. To be honest, Naruto had already known the exercise and was adequate at using it, but hadn't been able to focus his chakra properly since something else was on his mind. A couple days into the training Naruto had spent all night practicing the exercise and met Haku the next morning. When he had first seen Haku, Naruto thought she was the second-prettiest girl he had ever seen (and no, Sakura was not the prettiest in his opinion; in fact he sometimes wondered if the pinkette really was a girl) and had said as much.

Haku just laughed lightly and thanked him for his compliment. They then had a discussion about why Naruto was training so hard. He had said it was because he wanted to become stronger. When Haku asked why, the blonde said it was because he was tired of hiding who he was as well as pretending to be something he wasn't. Haku was silent for a moment before she said that it was her belief that true strength came from the want to protect someone or something precious to oneself. Haku left shortly thereafter, saying to Naruto that she hoped he wouldn't grow stronger for the wrong reasons.

A couple days later came the infamous battle at the bridge. After he had taken out two thugs that were attempting to run off with Tsunami, no doubt with less than pure thoughts towards her in mind, Naruto sped off to the bridge and once he arrived began to help Sasuke fight Haku while Kakashi was fighting Zabuza. It was during this fight that he had consciously called on the power of the Bijuu sealed inside him for the first time after Sasuke had been knocked out by Haku's sebon needles. Naruto proceeded to beat the crap out of Haku, but stopped when her mask broke apart and revealed just who Naruto was fighting.

The two of them had short discussion where they both revealed their secrets; for Haku, it was what drove her to the eventual meeting with Zabuza and for Naruto, it was the fact that he contained the Kyuubi no Kitsune. They both agreed that if the circumstances had been different then they could have been friends, and possibly more than just friends, however at that moment they both caught the sound of Kakashi's assassination technique: Chidori. Haku gave the blonde-haired jinchuuriki a kiss on one of his whiskered cheeks, and then she created an ice mirror and intercepted the jutsu with her own body.

Gatou and his thugs chose that moment to show up at the bridge and the short tycoon immediately insulted Haku once he saw that she had died. Naruto, who had arrived in time to hear the tycoon's words, turned to Zabuza and laid into the eyebrow-less man verbally. The nuke-nin was in tears by the time Naruto had finished his speech and asked the blonde for a kunai. Zabuza had somehow unwound his mouth wrap at this time and caught the kunai in his pointed teeth since both his arms had been made useless by Kakashi.

The Demon of the Mist then rushed into the large group of thugs and hacked, sliced, and slashed his way to Gatou all the while being stabbed by various weapons. He then cut off the tycoons arm and put several slices into the bastard's body before stabbing the short man in the neck. Gatou then stumbled backwards and fell off the bridge while Zabuza collapsed to his knees. What happened next was known only to Kakashi and Naruto since Sasuke was still out and Sakura was crying over his 'dead' body.

Naruto, who still had a little bit of the Kyuubi's chakra running through him, picked up Zabuza's zanbatou and spun twice before he let the large sword fly at the thugs. Said thugs were so shocked at seeing Naruto do what he just did that none of the thugs in the spinning sword's flight path got out of the way in time. The sword easily sliced through all the bodies in its path before its momentum was eventually slowed as it exited the crowd and skidded to a stop next to its still kneeling owner. The rest of the thugs promptly fled, especially since the villagers of Nami arrived at that moment.

Zabuza, whose last request had been to see Haku one last time before he died, and Haku were then buried by Naruto on a cliff overlooking the bridge. Naruto had decided to take Zabuza's zanbatou, Kubikiri Houchou, with him after he discovered how easily he could wield it. So he (with a little bit of help from Kakashi) sealed it into a scroll until he grew tall enough to where he could place the sword on his back.

A couple days after the battle, the bridge was completed and the Konoha-nins headed back home. When they arrived in the Leaf village, Kakashi gave his students the next day off to recover from the mission and unwind. So here Naruto was, wandering one of the parks as he thought over the mission as well as something that happened a couple days before the mission.

~~ (Flashback) ~~

Naruto sighed as he hopped through the trees. He was trying to blow off some of the frustration he was feeling from the seemingly interminable D-rank missions. He swore that if he ever had to go after that damn cat one more time, then something painful and permanent was going to happen to the feline.

The blonde stopped on a thick branch and leaned back against the trunk as he rested from his hopping. His ears twitched when they caught the sound of someone humming coming from nearby. He dropped down to the ground and crept closer to where he thought was the origination of the sound. Naruto paused when the humming abruptly changed to the sound of a gentle female voice singing.

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Naruto held his breath the entire time the words were sung and marveled at how beautiful it sounded. He began moving forward to see who was singing, but a small branch decided to side against him and cracked underneath his foot. The blonde shinobi heard a light gasp and sped up, but when he reached where he thought the voice had come from, there was no one there. Naruto was left to wonder if what he had heard had only been in his imagination as he dazedly made his way back to his apartment.

~~ (End Flashback) ~~

Naruto sat down on one of the benches lining the park path with a sigh and leaned back to look up at the stars. After a couple minutes of contemplative silence the spiky-haired blonde removed his orange jacket, leaving him in a plain black t-shirt, and looked down at the tattoo on his left arm. It was an intricately designed acoustic guitar with a couple miniature music notes surrounding it.

He then bit down on his finger and pressed the bleeding digit against the image of the guitar and in a puff of smoke, one appeared. The body was mostly a dark red color with black flames leaping up from the bottom with a similar design being painted on the neck and headstock. The guitar had been given to Naruto on his seventh birthday by the Sandaime as a hope to instill in the blonde some sense of discipline and that Naruto would learn that skill would come with hard work and perseverance.

Naruto hadn't understood the words at the time, but he immediately became hooked on playing and quickly learned the nuances of his acoustic. So, whenever he wanted to just have some time to forget about the world around him and its troubles, he brought out his guitar and strummed a couple songs. Before he could begin playing a song that he had been working on for a while now, a female voice spoke up from the path.

"Naruto-kun? What are you doing out here?"

The blonde looked up and saw Hinata Hyuuga, the heiress of the Hyuuga clan, standing there dressed casually with a small blush decorating her cheeks. The lavender-eyed girl was wearing a light purple t-shirt, that accentuated just how much of an early bloomer she was, and matching pants that clung to her athletic legs and had a white line spiraling down them. Naruto was hopeful that the darkness would hide his blush from the girl standing a couple feet away.

You see, Naruto had known that Hinata had a crush on him, but he knew that because of what he carried she would mostly likely be shunned by the majority of Konoha's populace, not to mention what her family might do. So, he had chased after a girl whom he knew would never show any affection towards him in hopes of sparing Hinata the pain that would most likely come with being with him. But the blonde watched as Hinata kept her affection towards him and while she never said or did anything to him that would indicate it, Naruto knew how she felt towards him.

Naruto shook the mental cobwebs from his head as he said, "Uh, I was just about to play a song I've been working on for a while now. I think I finally got it right."

Hinata shyly looked down at her fingers and turned to go. "Oh, I guess I should be going then," she softly said.

The blonde swiftly stood up and grabbed her hand as he said, "No!" He realized what he just did and both of their blushes darkened as Naruto released her hand as he continued, "I-I mean, you can stay here and listen. I don't know if it'll be any good though." Hinata nodded and the two teens sat down on the bench. Naruto closed his eyes as he began strumming a moderately paced melody on his red and black acoustic before he started singing,

Everytime I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand

I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, you're not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah

You're the remedy I'm searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it'll be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, you're not that far

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I want to be
Oh next to you... and you next to me
Oh I need to find you... yeah

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you (yeah)
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you (I gotta find you)
You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Yeah, yeah... I gotta find you

The blonde strummed out a couple more chords and slowly faded the song out. When Naruto finished singing he opened his eyes and met the pearl-like lavender ones of Hinata. Both of them just stayed like that for minute as they ignored the world around them, the only thing registering in each of their minds was how handsome/beautiful the other's eyes looked.

"That was incredible Naruto-kun," Hinata softly said. "When did you come up with it?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head in a slightly embarrassed fashion as he answered, "Well…a couple nights before my team left on our C-rank mission I was doing a little tree-hopping. When I stopped to take a break, I heard some girl sing this really incredible song that got me thinking. I didn't finish coming up with the lyrics until close to the end of our mission."

With that he launched into telling her all that had happened on the mission to Nami no Kuni (minus the part about him using Kyuubi's chakra). He even brought out Zabuza's zanbatou and showed it to her, when the petite girl tried to lift the sword she nearly tore her arm out of its socket from the sheer weight of the blade. Naruto took it back and was confused when he was able to swing it around like it was a feather. With a shrug and a silent promise to do a little research as to why this was happening, he sealed the sword back into the scroll.

"Um, Naruto-kun there's this club that Kurenai-sensei brings me to sometimes. In it, if you want, you can sing a song and if you get a good enough reaction from the audience then the owner lets all of your purchases for the night be free of cost," Hinata softly said while looking down at her fingers. She brought her lavender eyes up to Naruto's cerulean ones and finished, "I think that your song would be more than good enough."

Naruto was silent for a moment before he asked, "Will you be there?"

Hinata blushed lightly as she nodded, "Kurenai-sensei is bringing me there tomorrow night at around seven since she's hinted that we might be taking our first C-rank the day after tomorrow. Does this mean that you're going to go?" When Naruto nodded the midnight-blue haired girl smiled as she wrote down the address. She handed it to him and stood up. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," she said and then did something she thought she would've never had the courage to do before now: she kissed Naruto on his whiskered cheek.

The shy girl's mind seemed to catch up with what her body just did and she turned neon red before making her way out of the park as Naruto called after her with a bright smile, "It's a date then!"

~~ (The Next Night) ~~

Naruto nervously stood in front of the club Hinata had told him about the night before. He had decided to change his outfit a bit, both in hopes that no one might recognize him and to look good for Hinata. The spiky-haired blonde was wearing a red jacket with black flames at the hem and cuffs to match his acoustic slung across his back with a black button shirt and black pants. Instead of his hitai-ate, he had found a black headband to keep his bangs from falling into his eyes. The clothes had been a gift from Iruka-sensei the day he had officially become a genin and Iruka had jokingly stated that they would probably be the only clothes Naruto ever have that weren't ninety-percent orange. He fiddled with his jacket collar before he took a deep breath and stepped into the club.

Meanwhile, inside the club, a nervous Hinata was anxiously awaiting her turn to step up to the mike. She peeked out from around the curtain and was easily able to spot Kurenai-sensei sitting at a nearby booth, but wasn't able to locate the one she really hoped would be in the crowd. The metallic blue-eyed girl (she was wearing colored contacts to disguise her heritage) was just about to drown in her rising depression when she heard her name called. She took a deep breath and steeled herself as she strode over to the mike, reminding herself that she had been practicing for the past couple weeks for this moment.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw a blonde-haired boy with a red and black guitar on his back enter the club and felt her heart soar while a wide smile stretched across her face as she began singing. As for Naruto, his eyes widened as he immediately recognized Hinata's singing voice as the one he had heard that one night before he had gone on his C-turned-A-rank mission.

(A/N: Hinata singing: Italic only. Naruto singing: Italic underlined. Both: Bold Italic)

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is meeee

Hinata took a small breath as she prepared to move onto the next verse but her eyes widened as Naruto grabbed a mike, stepped up onto the stage, and began singing as he walked over to stand in front of her; both of them with eyes only for the other.

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need

The song inside of me
I need to find you
, I gotta find you

By now, the entire audience was on their feet clapping to the beat of the song and generally cheering the two incredible singers.

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
(this is me)
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing

Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is meee

Their voices faded away as the song ended with both of them still staring into the other's eyes. Naruto then wrapped an arm around the petite girl's waist and pulled Hinata up against his body before he claimed her lips with his own. The audience's cheers rose to a higher pitch as the two singers separated.

With a slightly goofy grin, Naruto asked above the roar of the crowd, "Will you go out with me?!"

Hinata nodded, her own goofy grin stretching her lips, as she shouted back, "Yes!" The blonde shouted in joy and swept the petite girl into another toe-curling kiss.

Chapter End

Unknown-nin345: I hope you like the story; it's my first time doing a songfic so I'm a little nervous about it. I want to know something from you readers out there: should I make this into an actual fic or not?

If not, then I'll just post an epilogue that will take place seven years later.

If so, then here's a glimpse at the pairing: NarutoxHinataxTayuya. Bet that's got you all interested huh? Plus, each chapter will have one or two songs mentioned in some form...it is a song-fic after all. The epilogue though will only remain a NaruxHina.

Also, for those of you who will wonder why Hinata isn't a stuttering fainting mess, it's because I think everybody overdoes her shyness. Hinata rarely ever stutters or faints in the show/manga, usually only in really embarrassing moments that involve Naruto surprising her. Besides, I did say there would be OOC-ness.

Well what are you waiting for?! Push the blue button and review!

Song(s) of the chapter:

'This is me', by Demi Lavato.

'Gotta find you', by Joe Jonas.
