Standing on a rooftop facing the Hokage mountain, a teenage shinobi gazed over the entirety of the Hidden Leaf Village, his new black mission coat flattering against the wind, one hand on his hip. A smug smile was grazing his face as if saying, Alright! Bring on the new challenges
Of new Mission clothes and Physical Attractions - Naruto Uzumaki
Heaving in a fresh spring air, a taller, leaner and all grown up Naruto leaped down with a 'Humph!' before landing on his feet, pumping his bandaged fist in excitement. He hadn't been assigned for a mission in a while now so it's an understatement to say that he's overly ecstatic when he got the permission to go for a mission today. He even had a haircut yesterday as to celebrate a fresh start and was looking forward to see how well his prosthetic arm will work. After the great war, the elders and Kakashi always put him under Hokage lessons and some other formal stuffs that require a lot of sitting down, reading and memorizing rules and other legislation to prepare him for his future Hokage duties. He's not complaining though, Naruto had somewhat passed that childish behavior of his and he can say that he had matured quiet a bit, at least compared to his bratty brash happy go lucky young self. One proof that he'd grown up was the fact the he was the earliest of their team to reach the gate, a few minutes earlier than their meeting time.
"Hey, where are you guys?" He muttered, tapping his feet anxiously, fearing that Kakashi might changed his mind and called him off the mission, though it's a bit unlikely but it might happen. Locking his hands behind his head, Naruto felt relived to see two Konoha ninjas coming his way. "Heeyy, Sakura-chan, Sai, you're late!" the blonde called out.
"No, we're not. We're on time. You just came here extra early." Sakura retorted, adjusting the backpack over her shoulder.
"Hehe! That's because I got my new mission clothes today and I'm excited to try them on." Naruto admitted, that excited childish grin of getting something new not leaving him yet.
"Sorry, Naruto-kun." Sai approached the blonde ninja. "Lord Sixth called us on our way here."
"Kakashi-Sensei? What does he wants?" Naruto eyes widened anxiously, fearing to hear some bad news.
"He gave us some back ups." Sakura interrupted. "The initial mission given to us was to rescue a kidnapped young heir which happened to have the key to an ancient family treasure scroll but Kakashi sensei got a follow up report last night that the group of bandits had moved to another hide out. And we are at a lost for their route, so he asked other team to help us."
Naruto felt relived to hear that he will be joining this mission, perking back up as he realized what the pink haired kunoichi just said, "Wait, another team will be joining us for this mission? And who would they be?"
Sakura rolled her eyes, "Stupid, who else could it be? There's only one team who's the most specialized for search and hunt missions."
Naruto tilted his head on the side, contemplating before the answer finally hit him.
Ruff! Ruff!
A dog bark caused Team 7 to turn at its direction.
"Oh, it's Kiba and Akamaru!" Naruto waved as he saw Kiba riding his comrade mut approaching the gate . "Oi Kiba, hurry up! We're leaving!"In a woosh, the man-sized mutt was in front of them, barking as his way of greeting.
"What was that, Naruto?" Kiba muttered, his eyes squint down at the blonde, mentally telling the guy that its not their fault for being late, having called out for a mission in such short notice.
"Yo, about damn time." Naruto raised a brow as his eyes caught a pair of bare arms wrapped around Kiba's waist. "Hmm, is that Hinata?" he inquired, peering over to see the person sitting behind Kiba.
Hinata peeked over Kiba's shoulder, showing her face to Naruto and the rest of team 7 before smiling bashfully as usual. "Good morning." she greeted.
"Yo. It's a been awhile, Hinata." Naruto greeted with a toothy grin.
"Y-Yes, it's been a while." Hinata blushed at the warm welcome, hiding her face back behind Kiba's shoulder. Though she stuttered, unlike before she can now keep her gaze at Naruto for a little longer and resist from fainting anymore. Might be because of her training and their past interactions during Pain's attack, during the great war, at Neji's funeral and the some other times that they bumped into each other while roaming around the village.
"You can get off now, Hinata." That was Kiba, feeling the heat of Hinata's burning face on his back. Being Hinata's childhood friend, he could easily figure out what's going on in the girl's mind.
Naruto, his new hair, and his new mission clothes.
Upon hearing her name, Hinata straightened her back and collected herself, answering a soft "Hai!" before reluctantly got off the mutt.
"Hehe, so we will be teaming up again, huh? This feels like the old times!" Naruto commented, placing his hands again on the back of his head. "Hey, what about Shino? Where is that-" The rest of his words were caught on his throat as he turned towards Hinata who just landed on her feet and was now standing in front of him in
all
her
female
glory.
"Sorry for being late. We just came back last night from another mission so..." Hinata answered, though her words fell on deaf ears as Naruto felt like the world had slowed down around him.
His chest suddenly tightened and he could hear his heart beating hard on his ears at the sight of the Hyuga heiress. Her hair seemed to grow even longer, looking softer than before as it flutters gently against the morning breeze. Her usually pale skin looked a bit pinkish, from her cheeks, her neck, her now bare slender arms down to the little exposed skin of her legs. More importantly, that curve, that womanly curve, it's like one of his sexy jutsu transformation, or even better. Has her body gone through some special training or is it like that all this time? Dammit, why can't he remember? Maybe it's due to the fact that she has been wearing baggy clothes all the time? Yes, it must be that jacket and that calf length pants, that old mission clothes were hiding all this womanly figure all along.
But now this..this is...
Hinata, in her new mission clothes..
"...sick. That's why Shino-kun could not come today." Hinata tilted her head on the side, placing a balled hand over her chest. "Eh is something the matter, Naruto-kun?" she asked, but did not received any response making the others to turn at the blonde ninja. Being wary of the situation, Kiba called out Hinata's attention and gave her some last minute information for their mission, leaving Naruto still in awe. And if it wasn't for an elbow nudging his side ribs, Naruto would not snapped out of his frozen state.
"Hey! What was that for, Sakura-chan?" Naruto whined, clueless of the fact that his friends caught him gawking at the Hyuga brunette.
"I thought you're in a hurry to leave. Wipe that perv look on your face and let's move."
Naruto blushed, "Wh-What!"
"It must be the new mission clothes." Sai suddenly appeared behind the blonde guy, placing his fingers on his chin in contemplation. "I heard that it was specially designed for Hinata-chan so her arms can move freely. Like me, Naruto seemed to first notice how really big Hinata-chan's bosom is."
"E-EH?! What the heck?!" Naruto blushed furiously.
"Am I wrong? But I saw you staring at them just a while a-"
"I wasn't staring!"
"Oh really now." Sai smiled, eyes closed.
"Tha-That's-"
"I'm pretty sure that's what you're staring at-"
"I'm not a pervert, dattebayo!"
"Funny, I did not mention anything about being a perv-"
""Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
"Don't worry, I've read that it's natural for male as they grow up."
"Waah! You freak!"
Sakura groaned under her breathe. Good thing Hinata could not hear their conversations as Kiba kept her distracted. Just when she thought, her teammates have grown up, here she was listening to Naruto and Sai fought over women's breasts and some other perverted stuff. "Shanaro!" The sound of a fist hitting the ground with a boom, got everyone's attention. "Ne," Sakura dusted her palms together, "Let's go." she said smiling, but it was a creepy 'lets move-or-I-will-shanaro-your-face' kind of smile that had Naruto and Sai nodding obediently. The pink haired konuichi started walking off.
"Hinata, are you sure you don't want to ride on Akamaru?" Kiba offered to her female teammate, knowing the fact that both of them have been walking around since yesterday.
"I'm fine, I can walk, Kiba-kun." The brunette answered, Kiba and his mutt then started walking off ahead.
"Hey, Naruto," Sai whispered, leaning closer to the blonde ninja. "If you walk beside her, it's a good chance to see how big they really are."
Naruto felt his face heating, he wanted to give Sai a taste of his fist but the guy was already jogging away. He is not new to this kind of conversations and teasing since he spent a lot of time with perverted teachers but somehow, this situation is different. He felt different and weird, like something is stirring up inside him. Maybe because...
"Naruto-kun?"
"Hai!" Naruto perked, turning on his heels swiftly with his chest out like a soldier in attention, keeping his gaze above Hinata's head. "W-What is it, Hinata?"
"Let's go."
"Go? With me? Where?" For some reaons, his heart started beating frantically again.
"Ahm, to the mission. The others are already ahead of us."
Naruto blinked, finally gaining control of himself and true enough, he saw the rest of his teammates already retreating. "Ahahaha. To the mission, right!" He laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"I'm going on ahead, Sakura-chan might get angry if we kept them waiting. Ja!"
Naruto nodded as his gaze followed Hinata's form and in a matter of a split second, his sharp eyes noticed how her chest bounced as she jogged off away from him.
"If you walk beside her, it's a good chance to see how big they really are."
PAK!
Naruto slapped his cheeks hard, "What is happening to me? Waahh! I need to focus!" Scratching his head in frustration, Naruto tried to calm himself and if it wasn't for Sakura's angry voice calling him out, he would have not get the strength to follow and join his team.
.

o~o
"Byakugan!"
Naruto turned his gaze towards the side and stared at the owner of that sweet voice. He and his team, with the exception of Kiba and Akamaru, were each perched atop tree branches, surveying the surrounding for any trace of their target. And so far, it was only Hinata and Kiba whose been busy and doing the works since they were assigned for tracking down the enemy. Earlier in their journey, Kiba was whining about not having rest yet since he just arrived from a mission last night. Their mission seemed exhausting the fact that Shino got sick aftewards. If that's the case, Hinata might also be exhausted. Though unlike her male teammate, Hinata is not the type to go whining and complaining around. But Naruto was sure that she's also feeling restless.
And so, Naruto got cautious of Hinata's whereabout, following her every moves, looking for any sign of fatigue. Yeah, it might be the reason why he was always staring her way. That, and the fact that he was struck by his budding admiration of her new mission clothes. Though he tried to resist looking at the Hyuga heiress, he failed miserably as he always caught himself drawn to her. He become wary of all of her movements, like the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the way her eyes narrowed and how closed her fingers are to her lips whenever she whispered her ninjutsu, the way her mouth curved when she talked and the timid way she covered them when she giggled, the way her hips swayed when she walked, the way her arms moved, the way her chest-
"You're staring at them again."
Naruto almost lose his balance on the tree as Sai once again appeared behind him and whispered in an accusing tone. "Bastard~" he muttered between gritted teeth. It seemed that Sai will continue to tease him unless he admits the guy's point true.
But before, he could start another banter, Sai handed him a folded piece of paper. "Here, might help."
"Huh? What's this?" he looked at the paper suspiciously.
Sai just smiled, "The enemy is still nowhere near so Sakura-chan said we can pause and have our lunch. In case you did not hear that because you're too preoccupied with 'spying'."
Naruto grimaces as the guy jumped off the tree and chose not to put more energy on his teasing. Anyway, lunch must be a good idea, it might get his focus back. He looked at the folded paper in his hand and was about to open it when-
"Oi Naruto! What are you still doing up there?! We must finished lunch quick!" Hearing Sakura's voice , Naruto tucked the paper in his pocket and jumped down from the tree to rejoin his team. "Geez, it's not like you to space out like this. What's gotten in to you today?" Sakura asked."
"I'm kinda hungry dattebayo."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "That's more like you."
"Tehe." Naruto scratched the back of his head with an awkward grin as Sakura turned away and sat on a grassy spot to have her lunch, Sai sat beside her. Looking around, Naruto's brow creased as he only found Kiba and Akamaru napping against a tree. "Hm? Where's Hinata?" he asked.
"She said she forgot to bring water, and walked to a nearby river over there." Sakura pointed out a finger to her north.
"I see." For some reasons, Naruto felt a little anxious. A small voice inside his head was telling him to go check out 'the river' but turning back to his teammates, he saw Sai smiling knowingly at him. Grumpily, Naruto decided to sit with them and have his lunch which put a confused look on Sai's pale face. Though it was only for a couple of seconds because Naruto devoured his lunch so fast and quickly stood up.
"Where are you going?" Sakura asked, not surprised to see Naruto finishing his meal in that tremendous speed.
"Taking a leak." he answered, waving up an arm and turning away but not before seeing a glimpse of Sai displaying a coy smile at him again. That bastard. He will deal with him when this mission is over. Naruto took note of that.
Scooting over a big tree, Naruto unzip his pants, sighing as he let out that leak he was holding off.
To be honest, Sai was right. All he did since the start of this mission was gaze off Hinata. He cant quite figure out why though. He's already used to her face, her physique, her voice and everything about her, they were childhood friends for God's sake! But today, there's something about her that made him dazed. Maybe it's the fact that they havent seen each other in awhile. Or maybe it's the new mission clothes, just as what Sai predicted. But Sakura was also wearing a new mission clothes today and he is not gawking at her like what he was doing to Hinata all morning. Maybe he was so used to seeing Sakura in sleeveless and shorts that's why he's not impressed by her new mission clothes anymore.
Impressed?
That must be it. He might just be impressed by how Hinata changed from being shy and fully covered to being a little...confident, more mature Hinata.
Hinata...
Mature Hinata~...
Naruto shook his head furiously, trying to rid the perverted thoughts forming on his mind. He quickly zipped his pants up and prepared to walk off but something, or someone caught his eyes. Not far away from him, he saw Hinata sitting on the river bank. Her boots were laying neatly on the side as she dipped her legs on the water, reaching down to massage her aching foot. She then took a handful of water on both hands and splash them on her face. Sighing in relief, her left hand moved to wipe the cold liquid off her face, swiping some droplets down her collarbone and dragging her palm to the back of her nape, moving her head around slowly to ease some tensed muscle on her neck.
Naruto gulped, and like a magnet, he found himself once again drawn and was already walking towards her. "Yo."Naruto saw the girl jerked in surprised at his sudden presence and mentally slapped himself for making so.
"N-Naruto-kun!"
"Ah, sorry Hinata. Did I startle you?" He smiled apologetically, one finger scratching an invisible itch on his cheeks.
Hinata nodded a little. "It's fine, I got a little dazed and could not sense any presence around me. If it were the enemy, I must have been captured by now. I'm sorry too."
"Hm, are you alright?" He asked, tone laced with concern as he noticed the tiredness on her voice.
"Hai, my feet is a little sore but I'm alright."
Naruto place his hands on his pockets. "Don't push yourself so hard, I can also track down enemy's chakra, you know?"
"Yes, indeed. If I cannot use my Byakugan anymore, I'll ask Naruto-kun for help. Thank you, Naruto-kun."
Naruto got lost for words as Hinata smiled at him with that freshly washed face of her. Cute is totally an understatement, God, she was shining and he almost had to go sage mode to get enough strength he needed to turn his head away. He felt her going back to what she was doing so he chanced a glance at her again and as good timing granted, he saw her wiping some droplets of water on the chest part of her blouse.
"...it's a good chance to see how big they really are."
A hot steam exploded in his head so he quickly knelt down on one knee and grabbed a handful of cold water, splashing them on his face, repeating the process several times until he successfully cool down the heat crawling up his cheeks. "Ah! Feels good~." He finally sighed in relief.
"Naruto-kun, you have to pull your sleeves up or it'll be wet," Hinata commented.
"Aah, crap! Why didn't you tell me that before, Hinata? It's my new mission clothes, dattebayo?!" Naruto frantically waved the water off his sleeves, making a silly face which made Hinata giggle. Naruto pouted a little before laughing at his own mishap. The first real laugh he had today.
"Hai," Hinata extended a hand to the blonde ninja and though confuse, Naruto stretched his arms towards her. Scooting closer, Hinata reached for the sleeves of his left arm and started folding them. Naruto's gaze followed what she was doing.
Hinata has such tiny hands, it was a wonder to him how she managed to fight off enemies with those caring and gentle hands. Her touch was so light that Naruto wanted to grab that hand and feel her palm just to try to understand his logic. She would make a good wife, he thought, smiling genuinely.
"...y-your new mission clothes, they looked really g-good on you."
Naruto glanced down at her, he sensed her muttering something but did not quite hear them. "What was that?"
Hinata jerked, rolling the guy's sleeves faster as she realized that she had said something embarrassing, "N-Nothing!."
"Say that again~?" Naruto finally looked down, moving his face closer to her with prying eyes.
"I-It's really nothing." This time, Hinata looked up at him with a sheepish smile.
"Come on, you can tell me you know." Naruto pouted, making Hinata giggle at his expression and soon he was also chuckling with her.
"Naruto-kun looks cute."
"You are cute too, Hinata."
"..."
"..."
Realizing that they just spoke their minds out loud, Naruto and Hinata turned at each other and met each other's surprised gazes. And it's as if the world froze before them. Naruto could feel his face heating up but it was lke a universal pull jutsu was casted upon him, he could not take his eyes off of Hinata's face. Not now when he could finally see her this close. His eyes quickly scanned Hinata's features, her small face, that strands of silky hair on her forehead, that pearl eyes staring wide at him, the red blush staining her cheeks, that pert nose, and down to the small, soft luscious lips that he suddenly wants to-
"Ah! There you are!" Sai's abrupt appearance from behind the bushes causes the two ninjas to jump apart, faces still red. "Sakura asked me to fetch you up. We have to leave." he informed, smiling with his eyes closed casually.
"Hai,"Hinata quickly gathered her boots, excusing herself with a slight bow before taking off. Naruto let out the breathe that he didnt know he was holding off, turning around he found Sai and quickly wished he didn't.
"Tehehe."...
Naruto palmed his face. Alright, you win.
.
.
"Naruto, I told you we have to be quick right?" Sakura said as Sai and the blonde ninja in question rejoined them.
"Sorry about that, Sakura chan." Naruto placed his palms together in front of him in an attempt to have forgiveness, grinning toothily. "I'm fully recharge now, I won't be spacing out again tebayo!" he declared, confident at his new found energy.
"I do hope so, our enemy was able to attack a heavily guarded family so we can't be negligent of their capacity. Kiba and Hinata were already exhausted, our main priority was the hostage but if possible, we can't let those two engage in the fight ..so we're counting on you, Naruto."
"Hai! Leave it to me!" Naruto responded. He turned at the members of team 8, or more specifically at Hinata.
The Hyuuga heiress was asking Kiba if he's feeling alright to which the guy replied with a grumpy nod, stretching his back. Hinata then petted Akamaru, telling the mutt to hang on a little bit more, and that they can do it, the mutt then replied with a positive bark, feeling recharge with the heiress gentle touch. "Let's do our best for Shino-kun." she said, smiling at her teammates.
The kindness in her smile warmed Naruto's heart. And it that moment, he realized the answer as to why he suddenly became so drawn to her. He balled his hand and brought his arm in front of him, looking down at the neatly folded sleeves of his coat. Sakura then noticed him staring at his left arm. She thought that he might be having a hard time folding the other sleeve and offered to roll them for him. But Naruto shook his head lightly and looked at the person who folded that sleeve.
"Nah, I prefer it like this," he answered with that familiar mischievous grin of his. Heaving in a deep breathe, Naruto slammed his bandaged knuckles to his left palm, "Alright! Let's go!" He said with great vigor, making everyone looked at him as he leap off ahead with a confident side smirk.
Sakura was left puzzled on her feet.
"It must be the new mission clothes." Sai spoke from behind the pink haired konuichi, startling her.
"Why do you always have to pop out of nowhere?!" Sakura groaned but Sai just smiled and said,
"It really is because of the new mission clothes."
