A/N: New story here. I am truly fascinated by eyes in the Naruto world. The Sharingan and the Byakugan are some of the best techniques in any anime that I've heard of. This story is going to look into them more while also creating a relationship bond between Hinata and Naruto. Takes place with the Shippuden characters. Basically as my story starts Akatsuki is pretty much dealt with save like two or three members who you'll learn about later. Also Sasuke is not with the village either and he is still with the team that he created. Hopefully this story can become something other than a one shot. Please review I want to know what everyone thinks. Enjoy.

Note: N-N-N-N-N are my page dividers

From the mind of NovaSky


They say that an Uchiha's eyes are his greatest tool. True geniuses of the pack, the Uchiha stands out as the top fighter able to see everything before and as it comes. It is for this that everyone wants to get their hands on those eyes. However there is one exception. There is one style that is said to be able to match those of an Uchiha, one that if used to its full potential can match that of a Sharingan. That tool is the Byakugan, the eye that sees all.


Between Our Eyes and Hearts


I: The Formed Bond

"Thanks for the ramen Ichiraku-san" Naruto yelled as he left the Ichiraku Ramen shop full from his usual three bowls.

"Get home safe Naruto, its late" Ichiraku replied as he began to shut down.

"No problem" Naruto said. He smiled but had no intention of going home just yet.

He jumped up onto the roof of the building and began to make his way towards his usual spot. As he did so a pair of eyes watched him from the distance. Naruto moved through the village swiftly and silently taking heed not to make any noise whatsoever. As he moved about he thought of all the things that were on his mind. He stopped moving as soon as he reached the roof of the Hokage's office. Tonight the sky was clear as very few clouds arranged themselves around the full moon. Larger then life and as bright as any light the moon had appealed to Naruto for awhile now. It allowed him to think and make decisions about what to do next. Since the full moon didn't occur every night Naruto made sure to take advantage of these nights, to watch the village that he hoped would soon protect as the Hokage.

'But' Naruto began to think to himself. 'Akatsuki has pretty much been stopped. There are no major threats to Konoha itself and more then ever these seem to be peaceful times. Yet…' He sat down on the rough tiled roof and looked up at the many stars that enshrouded the moons presence. 'Sasuke…I still couldn't bring you back, back to Sakura.'

Sakura; sometimes when he though about her it truly hurt him. He cared for her and Sasuke but knew that her love for him would never die. He tried his best to be there for her and even tried to take it to the next level, but Sasuke, the friend, the brother, he promised to bring back…it was still all about him. He felt as if he'd never get pass the friend stage.

Naruto's eyes began to water, but he didn't shed a tear. Instead he just kept his eyes focused on the moon. His true destiny, he still questioned it. He gave a sign and a shrug of the shoulders and closed his eyes.

"Who's there?" he asked softly.

The pair of eyes widened in fear. "Um…um…sorry, Naruto-kun, I didn't mean to spy" said a soft voice.

Naruto smiled. "It alright Hinata. What are you doing up?" he asked.

Hinata made her way closer to Naruto as she began to poke her two index fingers together. "Well I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk…and I just happen to, uh, see you and, um-"

"Hinata, what do you think of the moon?" Naruto asked.

She looked at him in surprise then said "It's really pretty." She had no clue why she had decided to try and get closer to him this time. In reality she had seen him start this little ritual some time ago. She normally followed him at a safe distance and looked up at him while he watched the sky. But tonight she had decided to get as close as going on the rooftop with him. She had masked her presence but Naruto was easily able to sense her. 'I guess all the rumors about him getting stronger were the truth. I masked my presence as if I was in a battle yet he found me without turning around.'

"Hey Hinata?"

Her attention was instantly focused on his voice. "Y-yes"

"I've always wondered how things looked with your Byakugan. How do you see things?" Naruto asked. At first it seemed like he was just making conversation, but in all actuality Naruto really wanted know. What Hinata didn't realize was that she fascinated Naruto all the time with her techniques and increasing determination yet had no clue as he never spoke openly about it.

"Well, it's a bit hard to explain. I'm able to see past the normal boundaries of a normal person. I can see through things like walls to find specifics objects. And I can also see into a persons body as my eyes allow me the ability to see chakra points" Hinata explained as Naruto looked on. She noticed his eyes. They didn't leave hers once. 'Okay Hinata stay calm' she thought to herself.

"Really, your ability is so cool. I wish I had something like it. I could probably save Sasuke if I had eyes like yours" Naruto stated. "You're pretty amazing Hinata, I really mean that."

Hinata began to blush heavily. Never had Naruto spoken so softly to her. Somehow, someway it gave her courage. "Naruto-kun, you're amazing too. I know you'll find Sasuke."

Naruto stood up. "Thanks Hinata. It's late; we should both be getting home."

Hinata nodded in agreement. They both began to go their separate directions when Hinata quickly said "N-Naruto-kun."

"Yeah, Hinata" Naruto replied.

"I…if you ever need help, I'll be there to help you" Hinata said. In an instant she jumped off the roof towards the ground below.

Naruto looked down. 'Thank you…Hinata.'

He jumped down in to the shadows as he began to make his way back home.

N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N

Hinata smiled as she jumped the rooftops of Konoha on her way back home. For the first time she had been able to talk to Naruto without fail. He spoke highly of her and she couldn't just let that go to waste. She needed to speak passionately to him. In more ways then one she couldn't wait to see him again.

She started to remember all the times where she had been too embarrassed to say anything to Naruto at all. All the times she fainted were beginning to feel silly and stupid to her.

She gently reached the ground outside of her house. As she made her way inside she took one last glance at the moon.

'Naruto-kun, thank you.'

A single black crow made it way into Hinata's view. It flew in a circular pattern right above Hinata's head. As she looked closely there seemed to be something clutched in both its talons. Something didn't seem right.

"Byaku-"

Instantly the crow grew in size catching Hinata by surprise. As its talons opened two small grey spheres dropped onto the ground.

'Smoke bombs!' Hinata instantly thought to herself. Taking immediate action she jumped onto the roof of the closest building and looked into the sky. There was no crow to be found. Instead a boy dressed in black garb and a black mask that covered his right eye stood across from her.

'Kakashi-sensei, no his hair is white, this person's is brown' Hinata thought to herself. "Who are you?" she yelled out unafraid of making any noise.

"At this time it doesn't matter" said a voice from under the mask. His showing left eye stared blankly at her. "All that matters it that you come with me."

Hinata took a stance. She extended her right leg forward and put her right hand out in front of her left at close to an arms length. Both her palms stuck out clear in the open.

"Well of course you weren't going to come easy. Oh well!" said the mask assailant. "I have no choice." The assailant rushed towards Hinata with blinding speed.

Hinata was once again taken by surprise but she still didn't drop her stance.

He rushed her with two punches but Hinata dodged both then struck his chest with her right hand. The boy was pushed back but that's all. He ran towards her again but stop a few feet before reaching her and jumped up into the air. Instantly he spun as he fell towards her to land a hard punch. It connected flawlessly as Hinata fell to the ground.

"Come on, I'm not that easily fooled" said the boy as Hinata disappeared into thin air. "Shadow Clones aren't really my thing."

"Then how about the real thing?"

The masked enemy quickly turned around. Standing ten feet away from him was Hinata. 'But wait, that had to have been a male voice!'

Suddenly the rooftop upon which they were standing on cracked from underneath Hinata's enemy as Naruto gave the assailant a scorching uppercut.

"Take that!" Naruto boosted as he landed in front of Hinata.

"Naruto-kun!" This was turning into one hell of a night for Hinata.

"Hey, I couldn't just let you go home by yourself" Naruto explained smiling.

As the masked enemy got up both Naruto and Hinata noticed a tear in the back of the mask. Hinata's eyes began to widen. To both their surprise the mask fell off reveling his right eye.

"Wait a minute" said Naruto in disbelief. "His eyes, his left one is brown but his right is lavender. Just like-" he turned towards Hinata.

"A Byakugan eye!" said Hinata. "But how?"

The boy began to grin. "Oh there is so much you have yet to learn. Both you and that sister of yours. Although I must give you're cousin credit, I didn't think he'd show you up s much as he did!"

"Who are you?" Hinata yelled. Naruto very rarely saw Hinata angry, but something was truly getting at her this time.

"Hinata come with me, we can make you stronger!" the boy pleaded.

"Who's might "WE" be?" Naruto asked.

"This is really none of your business" the boy said giving Naruto a scornful look. "Wait…no it can't be." The boy stared at Naruto. 'Whisker like marks, fang-like teeth. This boy he's the Demon Fox, this is going to be interesting news indeed.'

"Hey you, how about we finish this. Kage-Bunshin no Justsu" Naruto yelled as six clones surfaced around him. He raised his hand as one of his clones began to quickly move their hands in a circle above his. The other five clones rushed out towards the boy.

Just as they did the boy noticed someone else on the ground below. 'It's him. Time to finish this now!' he thought to himself. He turned towards Naruto's clones. "No time to play right now kid!" His right eye began to glow.

Instantly all fives clone exploded. He then disappeared and reappeared behind Naruto punching him in the back and kicking Naruto's clone. The clone disappeared and Naruto fell to the ground with his incomplete Rasengan still in hand. His hand hit the corner of the roof in front of him cracking it. But the roof couldn't hold Naruto after being cracked under him from the pressure. It complete broke off as Naruto and pieces of debris fell to the ground.

"Naruto-kun!!!" Hinata screamed as he fell. Instantly the boy appeared in front of her.

"You know" he began as he looked straight into Hinata's eyes. "You should really think about yourself right now!"

Naruto looked up towards the rooftop. A bright flash overtook the sky. In a quick instant both Hinata and the boy were gone.

He turned onto his back clutching his eyes in the process. 'My vision was happening to me?'

A heavily concerned looking Neji was the last thing he saw before fading out.
