A lovely day in The Hidden Leaf Village. The kids were swimming in their pools others were playing basketball and getting tans in their front yards except for one kid.

Naruto was a depressed kid ever since Sakura moved away to the Sand Village to help the sick. His eyes were bloodshot red from lack of sleep and his orange jumpsuit reeking of sweat. All this time Naruto just sat there doing nothing in the house he now lived in with Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura.

Kakashi then came down the stairs and saw Naruto on the couch. Kakashi scratched the back of his head and said, "Naruto, you can't just sit there all day." Naruto didn't respond. Sasuke then came down the stairs and saw Naruto as well. "He's still sitting there?" Kakashi sighed," What is up with him? He won't eat, sleep or move. I've tried everything to snap him out of it. And with that Sasuke slapped Naruto on the cheek. Naruto responded by hitting him back. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto grunted to tell he did it because he felt like it. Kakashi wondered," Why didn't I think of that? Anyway, Naruto we have a mission. The Sand Village was under attack. Throw on a new jumpsuit. We need to pick up a teammate since they dropped from their group to help ours.

Naruto came down with a new jumpsuit and the 3 performed a teleportation jutsu to the mission center. "So who is the ninja and where is he or she?" Kakashi looked around then the door open. Kakashi then said, "There she is." Naruto looked and he saw a girl with black hair and a white and purple jacket it. Naruto had seen this girl before he thought long and hard and remembered this girl fainting around him all the time. Naruto finally spoke, "Hinata?"

She turned around and Naruto expected her to faint but she walked over to Naruto smiling. Naruto thought to himself why she hadn't lost her cool. Why isn't she acting like herself? She walked over and said "Hey, Naruto." Naruto held his arms out still expecting her to faint. Hinata laughed and said, "Naruto, I'm not like that anymore".

A puff of smoke appeared and out came Kurenai and her child. "Hinata you forgot your Kunai knives." Hinata took the knives from her and put them in her jacket. "Thanks, Kurenai sensei. " Kurenai nodded and said "Good luck, Hinata." Hinata nodded and told Kakashi "Let's go."
