Chapter 1: Is It Destiny or Just a Coincidence?
It was just another peaceful day in Konoha; Naruto was in the training field. 'I guess that will be all for today's training' Naruto said in his head. Naruto started to head back to his apartment to rest. As he entered the village, he heard a scream that was near by and he rush to where it came from. Naruto look down the alley to see four punks that was surrounding a cute girl. Naruto over heard one of the punks say, "You can scream all you want and there is no one around to save you, so why don't you just come with us quietly and we may even show you a good time." Naruto was angry at what he heard and then he noticed that the girl was Hinata. "J-J-J-Just leave me alone," Hinata said. "As if we are going to let a petty like you go," said another punk. Naruto could not stand it any more and then he shouted, "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU PUNKS." Naruto charge in at the punks and the four punks seen Naruto coming at them. Hinata was shocked that Naruto was coming to her rescue. Naruto punched two of the punks out cold. Then one grabs a knife out of his pocket and then grad Hinata with the knife by her neck. Naruto heard the punk say, "Take another step towards me and the girl gets it." Naruto stopped and the other punk punched Naruto in the face. When Naruto hit the ground and the suddenly Naruto's body turned into smoke. The punk that punched Naruto said, "A shadow clone." The punk that had the knife by Hinata's neck said, "Who is he and where is he hiding at." Then out of nowhere the punk that had the knife was knocked out and Hinata was still shock that Naruto, the boy that she loves since the days at the academy, was here. Naruto quickly knocked out the last punk. "And that takes care of that. Are you ok now Hinata," Naruto asked as he walked over to her. "N-N-N-N-Naruto, y-y-you j-j-j-just s-s-s-saved m-m-m-m-me," Hinata replied as her face turned red. "Of course I saved you Hinata, you are one of my friends and those punks should have known better to understatement me," Naruto said with a smile that made Hinata's face redder.
As Naruto came closer to Hinata, Hinata's mind began to blank out and then suddenly she fainted. Hinata's body fall backward, but was caught by Naruto. Then Naruto noticed that Hinata was really beautiful. Naruto found his heart beating faster and faster just at the sight of Hinata's beautiful face. 'I should get her out of this alley and find a better place to wait for her to wake up' Naruto thought. Then Naruto held Hinata in his arms as he carried her out of the alley and headed towards the park that was near by. Naruto place Hinata's body on the grass with her head on Naruto's lap. 'She is really beautiful and her face is cute when she is asleep' Naruto thought. 'Why don't you give her a kiss to wake her up, Kid,' said the Kyuubi. 'I am not going to kiss her. If she finds out that I did then she will either hate me or punch me in the face just like when I asked Sakura for a date' Naruto replied. 'Face it Kid, you like her,' said the Kyuubi with a smiled. 'WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE,' Naruto shouted at the Kyuubi. 'I am having to much fun with you and you have to admit that this girl is better looking then that pink hair girl that you being chasing since the ninja academy,' the Kyuubi said as he enjoy messing with Naruto. 'I will agree with you on that, but I am unsure on what my feelings are right now,' Naruto replied with a said tone. Naruto saw that Hinata was starting to wake up. "Hey there Hinata," Naruto said as he smiled. Hinata blushed red when she Naruto face. Naruto and Hinata looked deeply into each others eyes and Naruto started to blush a little. A few minutes pass as they kept looking into each others eyes. Naruto turn his head and asked, "How did you get in that situation earlier. Naruto listen to Hinata as she told him how it happens.
Meanwhile somewhere in Konoha, Tenten was walking to the tea house. Tenten was stop by a shinobi and she knew who he was. "Well hey there good looking," said the shinobi. "Leave me alone Rex," Tenten said with a little anger. "Are you still mad when I dumped you a few months ago," Rex said. "Of course I am mad about that," Tenten said with fury as she punch at Rex, but Rex stop the punch with his hand and pull Tenten towards as he put his other arm around her. "LET ME GO OR YOU WILL REGRET," Tenten said as she tried to get out of Rex's hold on her. Then out of nowhere a fist came right at Rex's face that made him release the hold on Tenten and put his back on the ground. Tenten saw that it was Neji's fist that his Rex. "Well, well, well look who show up to save you," said Rex as he holds his face where the pain was. Tenten saw the anger in Neji's eyes instead of the calmness that he always had. "Leave now," said Neji. "Ok, but I am not finish with either of you two. Don't think that I have forgotten about when you punched that you gave me when I dumped her. Later losers," Rex said as he jumps to the roof to leave. "Are you ok now Tenten," Neji asked with calmness. "Yes I am now and thank you, Neji. Did you really punch Rex when dumped me," Tenten replied. "Yes I did. I was angry at him when he made you cry and I lost my cool when I saw him," Neji answered. Tenten started to blush a little red and then walked over to Neji. She placed her hand on Neji's face and kissed him. Neji was surprised at her and then he kissed her back as he hugged her.
Hinata was finished telling Naruto what happened to her. "I see," Naruto replied. 'This is your best chance to tell him how you feel about him,' said inner Hinata and Hinata replied, 'I am not sure if I should and what would happens if he does not feel the same.' 'WILL YOU STOP BEING SO SCARIED AND JUST TELL HIM,' shouted inner Hinata. "Hey Hinata are you alright," Naruto asked in concern. "Y-Y-Yes, I a-a-am," Hinata said as she blushed. Naruto got up and gave Hinata his hand to help get up off the ground. Hinata took his hand and got up to her feet and smiled at Naruto. Naruto blushed red when he saw her smile. "May I walk you back home Hinata. Just to make sure that nothing bad happens to you just in case," Naruto said and Hinata replied, "S-S-S-Sure Naruto." 'Is he worried about me? I am so happy," Hinata thought. Naruto and Hinata began to walk to the Hyuga compound. A few minutes pass as they reached the Hyuga compound, "T-T-T-Thank y-y-you N-N-Naruto," Hinata said as she blushed and Naruto said, "No problem. Hinata, I was wondering if you want to go eat lunch tomorrow with me after the team meeting is done." Hinata was shock that Naruto was asking her out on a date and happily said, "S-S-Sure." Naruto was happy that she said yes and asked, "Where do you want to meet at and when?" "H-H-H-How a-a-about we met at I-I-Ichiraku R-Ramen s-s-shop at 12:30, s-so the t-t-two of u-u-us can g-g-get r-r-r-ready," Hinata replied and Naruto replied, "That sounds good. So it's a date then." Naruto said good bye to Hinata and left. Hinata entered the main house and went to her room. Hinata was still shock when she heard Naruto say the word date. 'You have a date with the man that you have had a crush on. You should tell him how you feel about him,' said inner Hinata. 'Maybe I will. But I should get ready for tomorrow and get ready to go to bed,' said Hinata. Naruto was heading back to his apartment and he was still thinking how beautiful Hinata has gotten before he left on his two and a half year of training with Jiraiya Sensei. Naruto could not wait for tomorrow. 'Do you like her, Kid,' said Kyuubi. 'I am not sure, but I do feel something when I am with her,' Naruto said and the Kyuubi replied, 'You should try to get to know her a little better.' 'That sounds like a good idea. I might do that and thanks Kyuubi,' Naruto said. Naruto entered his apartment and got his clothes ready for tomorrow, and then went to bed.
At the Hokage's office, "Lady Tsunade, I was in the room that holds the records of people that live in the Konoha and I found this box. I think you might want to see this and also take a look at the name on it," said Shizune while she placed the box on Lady Tsunade's desk. Lady Tsunade looked at the on the box and she was shock at name that was it. Lady Tsunade turned to Shizune and said, "I need you to go give someone a message for me and tell him to meet me tomorrow, so I can verify something with him." "Yes Lady Tsunade. Do you think we should tell Naruto about his family," Shizune asked and Lady Tsunade answered, "I will think about it, but here is the name and address of the person that I want you to give the message to." Shizune looked at the paper and replied, "I will go now and good night Lady Tsunade." Shizune left the office and Lady Tsunade looked out the window towards, and thought to herself 'I am concern that Naruto will not be happy after what he is told about his family.' Lady Tsunade sigh as she opened her desk drawer and pull out a bottle of sake. Lady Tsunade went to take a sip and then she realizes that Shizune drain out the bottle and replaces it with water. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE DID THAT," Lady Tsunade shouted as she threw the sake bottle filled with water out the window. The bottle was out of sight and disappeared in the night time sky that was so peaceful.
