Hey everyone this is my first time making a fan fiction, and Naruto is my absolute favorite.

I will accept any criticism since I've never been the greatest when it came to paragraph writing.

hope you enjoy.

Don't own Naruto.

Prologue

It was dark and quiet, no vision at all. With no visual the other senses needed to be active. Unfortunately even those were not working properly as well.

"Dammit" Naruto just couldn't figure out how he winded up in the genjutsu. One minute he was chasing after his target and the next everything just went black.

"I really wish I knew how to break free of this!" It really was frustrating that even though he's improved since the time he started his genin career, no matter what genjutsu was one thing he couldn't do about.

"So now what? How can I break free of this, feels like it's been hours." He closed his eyes and tried to get an idea forming in his head, but nothing seemed to come to mind.

"Arrg!" Pulling his hair in the process. It was supposed to be an easy chase after finding their location, and now he was stuck until either help comes or he figures out how to undo the genjutsu.

"Naruto-kun, Naruto-kun"

"Huh"?

"Naruto-kun"

Someone was calling him and it was getting louder

"Who is it?" Naruto yelled hoping to reach the voice

"Open your eyes Naruto-kun"

Suddenly it was just easy to open them. He had to shield his eyes from the light, but when he came to he saw the face with the voice that was calling him.

"Hinata?" surprise placed on his face.

"…." Hinata just realized how close their faces were and was trying very hard not to faint, although her face resembled the color of a tomato now.

"Are you alright Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah thank you I owe you one" he always held her in high regard since she always tried so hard to change and seems to be the only one who never put him down or his dream. But seeing her up real close made him think of something he's only ever really thought of when he saw Sakura-chan.

'She's actually really cute now I get a closer look'. Wait. Where did that thought pop up?

In any case he had to refocus back to the mission at hand.

"What happened? What about the mission?"

"I mission was completed and where now just bringing him with us" Neji came along with Shikamaru and Kiba.

"Oh? Hehe I guess I just couldn't follow since being caught in his genjutsu" putting his head and scratching, seemingly embarrassed.

"You weren't in it for too long and if you hadn't injured him like you did this would have gone much longer chase, let's just get back and report to call it a day" stated Neji

"Hai"

Along the way Hinata just kept watching him while traveling back.

'I hope you'll someday notice me Naruto-kun'

What she didn't realize was how he already has.

He just hasn't realized it himself yet.

So how was it, based on how the reviews turn up for this week, will result in me making the next chapter or not.

I do love the pairing of Naruto and Hinata, but to much lovey dovey isn't so my thing so i'm going to make it slow the way it should instead of just jumping into it.

Yes they're will be other character pairing but only as a side thing, nothing too involved
