This is my first story and I don't write much, so this is new to me, especially writing a fanfic for Naruto. I got this idea from a drawing I saw and it sounded like a good opportunity to write my own story out of it. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters.

"Hey Naruto!" A pink haired ninja comes up behind him

"What is it Sakura-chan?" Naruto asks.

"Everyone is going camping for a couple of days, we were hoping you would join us."

"Who all is going?"

"Well you will find out if you get ready by noon," She replied sarcastically.

Naruto slouched a bit and sighed at the statement. "Fine, I'll be ready. Where is everyone going to meet?"

"The training grounds." And with that she walked away. He watched her walk away as she met up with Ino and Kiba a ways down the street.

Naruto continued walking down the street, hands behind his head and looking around to see the hustle and bustle of the day starting. Naruto decided to get some training in before he left for a couple of days so he made his way over to the training grounds. When he got there, he saw Hinata and Neji hard at work training with each other.

"Hey Neji, Hinata!" He shouted loudly while waving his hand in the air so that they would notice him. Hinata stopped and turned to the voice that said hello. Her cheeks turned pink when she realized is was Naruto with his adorable smile and he was watching her train.

"N-naruto-kun," she stuttered. Completely defenseless against Neji, he hit her full on with his 8 trigrams vacuum palm and she got blown backwards into the green grass. Surprised by the sudden attack, she didn't have time to defend herself as she let out a little scream as she went flying through the air and landed on her back. Neji released his attack pose and stood up straight and said sternly, "Hinata-sama you've got to pay attention."

Naruto, seeing hinata flying through the air, took him back to the memory of her flying through the air and being stabbed by Pain when he attacked Konoha and he suddenly felt the urge to run to her aid to see if she was alright and unhurt.

"Hinataaaaa!" He yelled while running towards her.

She slowly got up and by that time Naruto was by her side. "Are you alright Hinata?" He took her shoulders so she would look at him. Hinata looked up and saw Naruto, just inches from her face and she could feel her face get cherry red. Her eyes got wide as she saw how concerned he was to see if she was alright. Her heart started beating fast, her heart in her throat, and then she got dizzy and then blacked out, her heard tilted back whilst Naruto still holding her shoulders.

"Gahhh Hinata-sama!" Naruto exclaimed.

Neji then rushed over to Naruto and Hinata to see what else had happened. He saw Naruto holding Hinata's shoulders and he sighed at how typical it was.

"Naruto let go of Hinata-sama."He let go and laid her down on the ground again. Naruto stood up so Neji could wake her up.

"Neji why does she faint so much?"

"Well to put it simply, because of you." He said bluntly.

"What? Me? Why?" Naruto stood flabbergasted at what Neji said.

"If you haven't figured that out by now then you are stupider than I thought. You may be the hero of Konoha and are skilled in battle, but you are horrible with romantic gestures."

Naruto stood still, trying to see what Neji was trying to say but wasn't quite getting it. Neji looked up at Naruto and saw that he had a blank look on his face and closed his eyes and made a deep sigh.

"Why don't you keep thinking about it and leave since Hinata is still out cold."

Neji finally said. Naruto, feeling glum left the field and traveled farther out to train by himself, still trying to comprehend what Neji was talking about. 'What would Hinata have to do with him? Was he really a bad person? He liked Hinata, she was sweet, cute, quiet, and pretty...wait what?' Why had he said that. He stood puzzled at himself. His mind then thought over to training, abandoning his train of thought for the time being. He made a a few dozen clones of himself and starting battling against himself.

A few hours went by and by then he was feeling sweaty and his stomach began to growl loudly..."RAMEN!" He shouted into the air. He made his way back into the village and into Ichiraku. He entered the shop and ordered a huge bowl of ramen, his stomach growling even more in the anticipation. After a couple minutes his delicious food arrived and he devoured it in minutes. He paid and left the shop to go back to his apartment, take a shower and meet everyone back at the training grounds for camping. An hour later he was ready and out the door with his bag which was filled with clothes, snacks, and some weapons if it was needed. He felt in a good mood as he strolled through the village streets and to the field, the wind was blowing a warm breeze and the birds were singing.

When he got there he saw Ino, Choji, Sai, Sakura, Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru, Lee, and Hinata. He looked Hinata up and down seeing that she was alright from earlier. He smiled and he walked over to where the group was huddled and chatting while waiting for him to arrive.

"Hey you made it Naruto." Kiba stated.

"Good, now that we are all here we can move out." Sakura said eagerly.

"Where are we even going Sakura?" Shikamaru asked.

"I found a spot on a hill where we can camp and see the village below, it's not that far. Oh and there is a pond not far either, its perfect." Everyone started getting giddy after hearing that there was somewhere to swim nearby.

"Why are we even going camping?" Sai said with as much enthusiasm as a brick.

"I figured that we all needed a break from the village and missions for a while. It'll be fun and who knows what might happen." Sakura added mysteriously.

After that, everybody started hiking up the trail and following Sakura, and Naruto fell into the back. He saw Neji and Tenten chatting up a storm and occasionally laughing at something Neji said, Shikamaru was with Kiba, Akamaru, and Choji with Shikamaru arguing with something that Kiba was saying and Choji loudly eating a bag of chips. Ino was up in the front alongside Sakura and Sai with Lee, telling him to calm down about youth. Then eventually his eyes fell upon Hinata who was walking alone quietly behind Neji and Tenten. He looked at her purple hair and curvy figure and felt something inside him stir with emotion. 'Was that because of what Neji said earlier?' He thought. 'No can't be.' After his little inter-mono-log, he decided to jog and catch up to her so they both have company. He greeted her with a hello as soon as he caught up with her. Hinata turned her head and saw Naruto walking alongside her and whispered a quiet hello back, her cheeks turning slightly pink. Naruto's hands went behind his head in a relaxed pose and continued walking with her, not saying much. He looked around him, with his friends still talking to one another and then the trees and how nice of a day it was.

"It's a nice day out Hinata." Trying to create a conversation with her.

"Yes N-naruto-kun," She answered back.

"So how did the rest of your training go after I left?"

"Ehhh...oh right. It went fine." Her face got a little brighter. "Sorry I fainted again."

"It's alright, I'm used to it." He stated casually and laughed it off.

His mind began to think about what Neji said to him and began to wonder if it was true, if it was really caused by him. Hinata began smiling at Naruto's laughter even if she thought it was embarrassing of her to faint. She made a mental note to stop doing that, she was supposed to be a stronger person now. "H-how was your training N-naruto?" She made him snap out of his thought process, unsure of what to make of it.

"It was great. I had a great morning." He was surprised she asked him something in turn which made him smile. It became quiet as they ran out of stuff to talk about. After a half an hour of walking through the trail, they reached their camping spot. It was a clear open space with plenty of room to move around and or spar with one another.

"Way to go Sakura-chan. This is way better than I thought, why didn't I think of this before. Next time just Sakura and I should come here. YES that's..." Before Lee could say another word Sakura punched him in the head, causing a bump to show.

"Lee that's not going to happen," Sakura said slightly annoyed.

Lee sat on the ground pleading with Sakura to say yes and Sakura shaking her head, getting more and more annoyed by the second with Lee's pleas. Naruto noticed that she had also set up the tents already, surprised by how ready she was. Naruto went and set his stuff in one of the larger tentswith Choji, Neji, and Shikamaru, following him to put their stuff in as well. There were 3 tents around the area in total. The girls in one, and Sai, Lee, and Kiba in another one. He couldn't wait to get started with the activities.

"So what are we supposed to do now after we put our stuff away?" Sai asked, clearly unaware of the word 'camping'.

"We can do whatever we want now, but it's almost sunset, so we might as well start a fire." Sakura seemed in charge so they all began collecting sticks and piling them to start a fire.

"Did someone bring marshmallows?" Choji asked eagerly. His thought on the food.

"Yes I did," Kiba replied.

The sun started to go down below the horizon as they finished making and building the fire. They all sat around the fire, just looking at the flames and smoke rising into the sky. The stars started to appear one by one until there was thousands of them in the purplish sky. He looked over to Hinata, she seemed out of it and felt the need to accompany her. He got up from his spot and sat besides her.

"N-n-naruto-kun? You don't have to s-sit with m-me." She blushed again in the dark.

"You looked lonely over here and I was too. No harm done." He grinned a big smile at her which made her face turn even redder.

Kiba brought out the marshmallows and Choji was the first one up to grab a handful of them and placed some in his mouth before he put the rest over the fire to cook. Naruto grabbed a couple and placed them on his stick he found and put it over the fire and Hinata soon joined him, smiling at the closeness and also blushing brightly in the process. This could be a good trip they both thought. She has wanted to get close to Naruto lately and this is the perfect opportunity, she smiled at the opportunity before her, excited for the next couple days.
