That night she couldnt sleep at all, all she could think about is him. 'Where is he? When did he leave? Did he run away?' and most of all was 'Is he coming back?' All these questions and many more were going through her head all at once.
Today she sat by one of her friends at the acadamy hoping to see him here."Hey Ino have you seen Naruto around?...whats that your reading Ino?" Asked the little girl. she was hoping it was something about him.
With a look of sadness, shock and anger she said "How can he do that?" She then looks at her friend and says "Uh... Hinata I ... I think you should...should read this.." she trailed off trying to hold back her anger and her tears.She hands the piece of paper to Hinata and it states:
Dear Konoha
'I am currently packed and about to get away from all this torment by running away, but I wanted to write to my friends first. I will miss all of you...well the ones that i consider my friends anyway...I might return one day, but im not sure by how the villagers are treating me and all. The people i will miss the most are Iruka,Hinata and Hokage-sama.'
By this time Hinata was well shocked would be an understatement. She was crying really hard and all in the middle of class none the less.
'Also I have a messege for Hinata. "I always knew that you loved me and I love you too. The reason i didnt say anything before is because I've planned on leaving years ago. Hinata I will miss you the most and if I ever do come back I vow to seek you out first.'
your friend Uzumaki Naruto'
Now she was bawling her eyes out silently and when she tried to give the note back to Ino Iruka saw her passing a "note" in class. "Hinata i though you knew better to not pass notes during teaching hours...Hinata why are you crying wats wrong?" She handed him the "note" he took it and read it gasping a little bit here and there. when he was almost finished his students started to see a single tear rolling down his face."Class ...today is... a bad day for me and some students class is dissmissed.."
Everyone in the class was shocked to say the least. after class Neji ran up to his cousin and asked her what was wrong. She looked at him then looked back down to the ground "I'll wait for 'him' no matter what happens" Stressing 'him' in the sentance Neji knew exactly what she was depressed about.
TIME SKIP
If you were to say everyone cheered up with time then you are sadly mistaken for a group of shinobi.Hinata was still depressed but not as much she trained to keep from thinking too much and losing control of her emotions. Soon the third hokage was died in a battle directly after the chunnin exams with Orochimaru. The knew Hokage was a woman named Tsunade no doubt she was one of the legendary sannin.
When everyone heard there was going to be a new hokage though noone would show it or say it they all wanted and hoped it to be Naruto and when it wasnt then they just when back to depression.
One day while Iruka was in her office Tsunade asked him why this was she didnt hear anyone speak of a name they just got hopefull and depressed again. "The reason why everyone is like this is because of a certain shinobi once said he was going to be the next hokage...even if it killed him."
"Who was this shinaobi Iruka?" she asked a little disinterested but didnt want paperwork to do right now. Then she thought for a second and it hit her.
FLASHBACK
"Tsunade-sama Konoha is wishing for you to be the next Hokage. Will you except this request?" asked a white haired man with a big scroll on his back.
Though unknown to them someone was listening to them a little distance away. "What did you just say about Konoha?" The stranger asked coldly
"I was asked by the Konoha coucil to inform Tsunade-sama here to be the next Hokage. what does it matter to you hmm you little brat!!!" said the white haired man givong off KI or killing intent quite annoyed.
" It matters to me because my dream was to become the next Hokage in Konoha and finally be recognized as the hero i was supposed to be." the boy says again coldly giving off his own KI, which is enough to suffacate the two sannin, which is saying quite alot.
"What do you mean 'Recognized as the hero you were supposed to be'?" asked Tsunade
The stranger then removed his hood and also removed his pure black mask showing shocking results. Two fluffy red ears on his head , dark wisker marks on his cheeks and pitch black eyes with crimson red slits.
The two sannin were well shocked as a lack thereof." Are you the one that has the nine tailed demon inside you?...Naruto right?" asked Tsunade.
"Yes, I must be going now I want to talk more but i really must leave good bye." He puts his mask and hood back on and walked out the door.
END FLASHBACK
"Naruto" could be heard escaping Tsunades mouth in a bre wisper
"You know him Tsunade?" asked Iruka standind in shock as she said his name
"I met him on the way here, well time will tell if he returns or not it is up to him you know"
TIME SKIP 4 YEARS
"Well,well,well if it isnt old Konoha" said the black cloaked figure aproaching the gates to the village.
"Halt! State your business!"
"Well if it isnt Shikimaru hmm well ive come to talk to Hokage-sama i need to be re-instated as a shinobi" he said coldly enough to send shivers down the gaurds spine.
"Very well you may enter." said the gaurd in a little shock. 'Theres something familiar with him' he thought to himself and then watches the clouds.
The figure chuckled to himself ' this is the same song i heard when i left'. he looks down at his I-pod, "Through the fire and the flames dragonforce" He walked through the village getting glares as usual but this time they werent of hate but of curiousity.
"Hey hinata-chan" yelled the one and only pink haired konochi. "I know its been hard but i havent asked in a while how are you about 'him' it has been five years and all?" At this his head turned and faced the two talking girls luistening more intentively.
"Yes I do Sakura. I just hope that he will come home soon and be back with us again."
Elsewhere... Kiba was following a growling Akamaru wondering what was wrong. Then he too sensed it a dark and menacing charkra. He followed ahis senses and ran as predictable as Kiba is and ran towards the cloaked figure thinking 'I cant trust this guy...especially by Hinata the way his chakra is anyway' and before he knew it Kiba was floating up into the air a good fifty some feet.
Dropping his cloak as to not ruin it he reveals his black mask, he then jumps up and attackes Kiba. "Fool dont go attacking people you cant beat...KIBA!!" He said this cold enough to cause everyone in earshot to shiver in fear even Iruka. Almost all the shinobi where thinking the same thing 'How does this stranger know Kiba??'
"Please stop attacking my comrade!!!" yelled hinata hoping it would work . just as an ANBU got there and heard this he stopped not wanting to intervean unless neciccary. With what Hinata had said the figure was with amazing speed that topped an ANBU infront of Hinata with his cloak on kneeling in front of her as everyone could hear Kiba dropping to the ground hearing the sound of bones cracking.
"I am sorry Hinata-hime" he said coldly as he stood up and kissed her cheek bearing his canine teeth earning a slight blush from Hinata.
'Hime they all thought before'- "Dont you touch her!!" yelled a very annoyed and pissed off Neji runnung at the cloaked figure.Neji attacks with his kunai in hand and shreds his cloak into pieces leaving him in black cargo pants and a black wife beater.
He growls luodly slightly scaring Neji "Your going to pay for my cloak white-eyes!!" He growled out again coldly and dissapeared kicking Neji up and persueing him.
"STOP!!" yelled a now annoyed Hinata. Its as if everything has froze by her voice but the figure was seen kneeling in front of Hinata once again apologyzing. "Please let me see your face. Or you can tell me your name hmm?" she asked a little more calm now.
"Im very sorry but i cant do that." was all he said
"Remove the mask or ill take this up with the Hokage!" Everyone gasped and she smirked as he got up brushing himself off.
"Fine." he said finishing his dusting as people finally noticed his littl red fox. walking away he says "Lets go see the hokage then." she followed not able to believeher ears. Sakura,Neji and a limping Kiba followed them waiting for the punishment...grinning.
HOKAGE OFFICE
"What do you need Hinata?" Tsunade asked giving thier 'visiter' a questioning look.
"This person attacked my teammate Kiba and my cousin Neji. He wont remove his mask to show us his face, also he wont tell us his name." she said calmly
" Okay then um sir will you please remove your mask for me." Tsunade says more of a demand then a question.
After a little pause he simply stated "No"
Everyone gasped at this action and smirked everything was going to get better. "Maybe you dont know about me then is that it or do you actually think you can get away with that?" Tsunade says getting angrier and angrier with each passing second.
"I know alot about you Tsunade-sama" He moves towards the balcony. "A hint is this ' Rakugosha-fox." He then smirks under his mask.
"O my" Escapes her lips a single tear falls from her eye. "Shizune get Iruka now!!!! You shinobi stay here and take a seat... you too" She looks at the figure and he obeys so does the other shinobi.
"Hokage-sama" He says bent on one knee.
"there is something that concerns you take a seat." She looks over to the figure and so does everyone in the room. "Now if you dont mind will you please remove your mask for me?" Everyone but Iruka sighed thinking he wouldnt do it this time either. As they saw him strting to remove it the all were fixated on him. Before the mask came off completely Tsunade ran over to him and gave him a big huge and then let everyone see his face. " Thank kami your back everyone missed you and wanted you back now you finally returned...Naruto!!!" Everyone was stunned and crying tears of joy except Neji and Kiba.
" well seeing as people did miss me then i can show you my change of apearence and not waste anymore chakra. Dispell!" Soon his ears were showing red and fuzzy, his wiskers darkend, his claws grew longer and sharper, his canines were larger, his eyes now black with red slits and he now had eight red swishing tails behind him. Everyone was curious they didnt notice anything until Hinata made her way to him and hugged him. She felt something soft go across her hands and then his tails pulled her close to him and an "EEP" was heard. Everyone got more shocked if posably by this. Naruto got closer to Hinatas ear and said "I love you Hinata-hime, and ill never leave you again." Hinata blushed
"I love you too Naruto-kun." she wispered. Both of them were now blushing slightly as they looked into each others eyes. Sakura was getting irritated and pushed Hinata into Naruto more making them kiss. Then she smiled and sat back down.
