Hey everybody and welcome to my brand new Naruto story. This is going to be a fanfiction dedicated to NarutoXHinata romance. My name is Joshua and I will be your official badass writer. I'll post as often as possible and if anything comes up I'll keep you updated. But without further a do lets get on with it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything in the Naruto universe.
Naruto felt the breeze as the wind brushed through his hair tickling his cheeks. It was early morning, his favorite time of day. Where everything lied still and the only audible sounds came from mother nature.
The weather was cool. The sun had already risen high into the sky brightening everything in view.
fall had overtaken the land of fire as the beautiful leaves blew in the chilly wind.
A spiky haired blond had just awoken from sleep. His arms flew into the air stretching out his upper body which was followed by an over exaggerated yawn. He stepped out of his tent and wondered over to the cliff side.
Naruto looked down from the high peak he stood upon scanning his old home.
Konohagakure
"It's great to finally be back."
Naruto wiggled his toes as he strolled across the ground back to his jumbo sized shelter. Slowly he unveiled the curtains revealing a disheveled old man.
"Time to wake up Pervy Sage."
The only response was a soft, low grumble.
Naruto crouched down next to Jiraiya's sleeping bag close enough that he began to pull the blanket over his head. Naruto pushed down enclosing Jiraiya's face suffocating him.
At first all that was heard was some snorts. Then Jiraiya's hands shot up flailing his arms to his face and sides as he attempted to breathe. His back arched and eventually Naruto set him free.
Immediately after being released the toad sage shot up hacking, trying to catch his breathe. Jariyah spoke still slightly wheezing. "You little twerp!"
"What the hell was that for?" "To wake you up so we can get an early start to the leaf village." A vein appeared on Jiraiya's head in annoyance .
"You could've at least waited another hour!" Naruto smiled while he disassembled the tent. Purple bags were under Naruto's eye's. His excitement last night prevented him from sleeping.
Naruto and Jiraiya began down the hill side packed full of gear.
The trek was short and uneventful but the towering wall doors were in site. Naruto's exterior appeared calm but on the inside he was extremely thrilled. Jariyah was the first to enter the gate followed by Naruto past the guard post where you could see a stunned Izumo, and kotetsu.
They followed the road down till the end of the road and the beginning of the city. "Well kid I'll see you later, I have some business to attend to." "Going to the hot springs I'm guessing?"
"Heh, You've caught on pretty well but no I'm going to visit the Hokage, you can go off and meet up with your friends." "Awesome thanks pervy sage!" "I told you not to call me that in public."
"Well get used to it, that's your name to me for life." Naruto didn't wait for a reply, he bolted off in the opposite direction of the Hokage tower.
Naruto slowly came to a halt as he neared his destination. In front of him stood an old apartment complex. He slowly climbed the stairs up to the top level and followed the rail down till he came to an old door with a plant next to it.
The plant was dead but he stuck his hand down to the bottom of the soil and slowly pulled out a rusty piece of metal.
"Ah it really is nice to be back." Naruto jiggled the key in the slot and rotated until he heard a click. He pushed on the wood and soon after a cloud of dust and dirt swarmed his face.
"– cough, cough-" "at least no one broke in while I was gone." Naruto stepped further into the living room glancing around, all his past memories good and bad flood back into his mind.
Everything was the way he left it besides all of the dust buildup, but that could be easily fixed. His couch and other furniture still had plastic that he threw over it the day before he left. Everything seemed to be in place
Naruto entered his room and fell back on his bed with an over exaggerated sigh. He lay there unmoving for a moment just taking in all the sensations. No matter how much he liked travelling nothing could beat home.
He finally tillted his head in the direction of his dresser, peering at the photo that sat on top. His brows furrowed in confusion.
Naruto bounced off the bed and grabbed the picture frame.
Naruto examined the frame closely. He looked at it fondly relishing old memories. He stared at it a few moments longer before a face of confusion appeared. He wiped his thumb across the glass. "Nothing." It was free of dust! Not a spot on it nor his room. His bed sheets felt soft and neat.
It was clear that someone had been in his room recently. Naruto checked under his bed and in his drawer's. Nothing was missing. The only thing the supposed burglar did was clean his room.
Naruto gave up. "Whatever, less for me to do." Naruto leaped up from the wooden floor and bolted out the door. He jumped from roof top to roof top at an astonishing speed, everything flying past.
He came to a abrupt screeching halt as he his eyes spotted something just below him.
Choji and Shikamaru were sitting at an outdoor café. Choji was stuffing his face while Shikamaru was leaning in his chair watching the clouds go by.
Hopping off of the building he went to greet them. Both looked different , Shikamaru being slightly taller and defined but otherwise the same.
Now Choji on the other hand had changed substantially with his now long brown hair, large body shape and height. "Hey guys." Both heads turned to the voice.
"Oh wow is that really you Naruto?" Choji said jumping up to hug him. "Wow I cant believe your back so soon." Choji said. All astonishment from Shikamaru's face disappeared. "Bummer, thought it might last just a little longer."
"Ah shut it Shika you know you missed me." "ha-ha, good to have you back Naruto." "Oh yeah before I forget!" Naruto grabbed two slips of paper from his jacket. "You two are officially invited to the Uzumaki dinner and party Tonight." Choji Grinned. "You mean to tell me I get to party and eat food, count me in!" "Yep and its all free." "I would catch up With you more but I got to do a lot to do today."
"It's fine I'll see you some other time Naruto, Bye." Naruto walked around the corner not paying attention smiling like a goofy idiot and crashed straight into someone causing all of their bags groceries to spill onto the street.
Naruto fell forwards causing himself to land atop the person he had intersected with. Naruto slowly opened his eyes only to see another pair staring right back at him. Below him Naruto saw a gorgeous raven haired woman pressed up against his body
He jumped up quickly embarrassed.
Naruto saw the girl tense as he spoke. " Are you okay?" Naruto extended his hand out to help the woman up. She took his hand and raised herself from the ground
"Hinata, is that you?" Naruto said knowingly in astonishment. He heard a small high pitched voice. "Yes I-it's m-e." Naruto hastily gathered all the grocery items and sat them on the ground in front of Hinata.
Hinata's head was tilted down, while she played with her fingers. Her long hair hung down low making it impossible to make eye contact.
Naruto eyed at Hinata's purple jacket and black pants. Her face was hidden. Naruto's curious and Impatient mind was itching and it eventually got the better of him.
He took a step closer to Hinata and lifted her head by placing 1 finger under her chin and pulling up slowly. Naruto was placed in a momentary state of shock.
She was … beautiful.
Her appearance was so... mesmerizing
Naruto and Hinata stared into each others eye's for a moment.
It was brief but there was a lingering feeling flowing through the air.
"I'll help you carry these bags"
"Oh Naruto y- you don't h- have to."
"It's okay Hinata." "I would love to help."
Naruto looked away and they began walking down the sidewalk.
The first few Minutes went by rather peacefully the only sound being there footsteps and soft pitter patters in the distance. Naruto felt horridly uncomfortable, so he decided to break the silence.
"How have you been?"
Hinata looked over at Naruto but then back to the ground. On the inside she wanted to tell him she had never felt more heart heavy in her life ,and she would absolutely dread having to do that ever again.
She took a deep breath
"I-I have been f-fine Naruto." "H-How was your t-t-trip Naruto." Naruto smiled. He hadn't made small talk with anyone except Jariyah in a long while.
"It was great, but I'm happy that I'm back."
"Me too" Hinata whispered.
Hinata thought she was going crazy.
It felt unreal. She had heard Naruto would soon be getting home but it still came as a huge surprise and there was nothing she could've done to prepare for it. Especially this.
Not only had they coincidentally run into each other, literally ,but he was helping carry her bags willingly! He was even nervous just to ask. Hinata felt light headed. She was walking eyes to the ground next to Naruto, thinking.
She didn't know what to say. She thought about asking if he'd like to stay for dinner for helping.
"No no no, that's far too bold."
"I wish I wasn't such a coward sometimes."
They began approaching the hyuga compound. They reached the front gate which led to a long path way that concluded at the entrance of the mansion.
They traveled the cobble stone till they found themselves at the door. Naruto peeked over at Hinata who was still staring at the ground, looking like a ship that was about to sink. "here's your stuff Hinata." He sat the plastic bags on the front step. "Thank y- y- you Naruto t- that was very nice."
She began to bow but was stopped when she saw Naruto's face kneeling below her. Her cheeks became heated. Naruto gave a little chuckle as he saw her jump. "Haha You're pretty cute when you are flushed." A new flame burst through Hinata's eye's widening .
Hinata raised up back to standing position. "T- Thanks" is all Hinata could say audibly. After a short pause Hinata leaned back up.
"Thank y- you a- again N- Naruto I a- appreciate your effort but I think I should go inside now."
"Your welcome, but first I have to give you something."
Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. "What is that Naruto?." "It's an invitation to a party I'm having later if you would like to come." Hinata's expression was one of surprise as she looked stupidly at him.
"If you don't want to come its fine- I will definitely be there.
Naruto smiled "Great, see you later then." Naruto felt confidence today and instead of his casual wave he moved closer to Hinata and he wrapped his arms around her back, hugging her body. Hinata was barely able to maintain an upright position Somehow she regained some feeling in her arms to place her them around his shoulders to hug him back. He had to lean down because of how much shorter she was than him.
After a minute or two Naruto slowly and reluctantly released his grasp on Hinata. He gave her a quick grin and dashed off. He yelled behind him. "Bye Hinata!" She leaned against the wall. "Bye Naruto", she whispered her heart pounding.
Well that is the end of the first chapter guys sorry it took so long. I actually have 5 more pages of writing that I decided to split up into 2 chapters. This one might be a little boring but I had to do the whole character development and whatnot. Anyways the next chapter will be quite a bit longer and more romance and action. Hope you guys enjoyed. – Joshua out ✌
