Author's Note: Hey guys, please go easy on me. This is my First Romance FanFiction. I'm not an expert with those stuff. Sometimes I think it is disgusting. I don't know why, so anyway enjoy. Don't forget to Review.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, the show belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.


"Hinata! What are you doing in here?! You should go back in there! I don't want you to get hurt! Please just—"

"I know that I'm being selfish, but I wanted to do this for you. It's my turn to save you." She said while clenching her fists.

"What are you talking about? Get outta here! You're no match for him." He said to her, with full of concern,for He's worried that she might be hurt.

She just stood there, not hesitating to leave. What if she dies and she didn't even tell her own feelings to Naruto? She needed to say it! She's got a 50-50 chance of dying here! It's Now or Never!

"I used to cry and give up. I've made many wrong turns but you... You helped me find the right path. I always chased after you. I wanted to catch up to you. I wanted to walk beside you all the time. I just wanted to be with you. You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That's why I'm not afraid to die, protecting you!"

He just stared at her. Wandering why did she do that. Why did she said those words? Why does she want to die for him?

'Pathetic.' Deva Path (Pain) said to himself.

'Why Hinata?' Naruto silently asked her.

"You know why? It's because... I love you."

He was both shocked and speechless at that time. How can a beautiful, kind and hard-working kunoichi like her love him? How can he be so blind? He was so distracted by his feelings for Sakura and he didn't even notice her. Was he dreaming? Well he's obviously not dreaming because he can feel the pain on those rods. Now he felt so guilty! He wanted to say something, but what should he say? Before he could say anything, he saw her in her Fighting stance, ready to fight and protect him even if it cost her life.

Pain thought that she's gonna fight him, so he got ready, however, he saw her destroying the rods that he put on Naruto. Of course, He won't allow her to do that, so he engages her in a battle. Their battle goes on and on while Naruto's just watching them. He saw how many times Pain hurt his friend. Deep inside, he was mad at himself because he couldn't do anything but watch.

'Hinata.' That was all in his head.

"Pathetic." Pain said and Hinata was easily defeated.

His eyes widened when he saw her easily defeated by Pain. "Hinata!" He shouted and tears came out from his eyes. "Hinata!" He saw her trying to stand up and he was happy to see that she is still okay.

She's doing the best she can to stand up, but her body doesn't want to. She's too weak to stand up.

"Hinata, that's enough!" He shouted, but he saw her crawling towards him.

Pain was watching them, he saw how pathetic that Hinata will risk her life just to save that jinchuriki. He has no choice but to finish her.

Hinata crawls to Naruto and gripped on the rod. She told him about her nindo and smiled at him. Naruto just stared at her. Is he really that important to her?

Pain cannot take it anymore, he used his Shinra Tensei on Hinata and hurled her high up into the air and slammed her into the ground.

(A/N: Okay, I'm sure that you don't wanna know the next part. It's too painful.)

...

...

"Hinata! Hinata! Wake up! Wake—whaa!" He fell on his bed. "Ow, that hurts." He said while rubbing his head. Thank God it was a dream, a nightmare to be exact.

Why am I dreaming about her again? It's not like she's dead and her ghost is haunting me. I don't want that to happened. Naruto said and lie down and his bed. He tried closing his eyes so he can sleep, but he can't. Every night he has nightmares about her after he confession. He keeps on wondering why does he had those nightmares.

Great, I can't sleep and it's only 5:00am. He said and stood up. "Maybe I need some training. Wait, that's it!" He shouted and quickly changed his Pajamas in his usual training clothes.

"Isn't it too early to train kit?" Kurama asked while yawning.

Yeah I know, but I need to. I can't sleep thanks to that nightmare.

"Maybe you miss her kit." Kurama said and started smirking while Naruto just blushed.

That doesn't even make any sense! Hinata and I train most of the time since the war ended. He said and put on his jacket and went outside.

...

...

Naruto arrived shortly at the training grounds. The place is really peaceful, but it looks chaotic because you can see a lot of ninja tools on the trees, some of the trees are destroyed and there are some trees with holes in it.

"Time to start training! Ready Kurama?!" Naruto punched his fist into the air. Seriously, he'll get himself into a lot of trouble if he wake some villagers because of his loud mouth.

"No." Kurama said.

"What?! But we need to train!"

"No, I'm too tired. Besides, you should stop shouting or else you'll get another punch from someone."

"Great, thanks for reminding me." Naruto mumbled.

They heard a ruffling sounds from the bushes. Is it Ruffians? Thugs? Bandits? Shinobis? Pirates? Pranksters? Samurai's? Frogs? Rabbits? Okay, I think the last part sounds preposterous. Going back.

What's that? Naruto asked.

"I have no idea kit. Maybe it's just some animals."

The sound was gone.

I think we should follow it. He said and started following it.

"Wait kit, you might get yourself in a lot of trouble!"

"Don't worry I—Whoa." He saw some shurikens coming towards him. He stopped at his tracks and grabbed a kunai and used it to deflect those shurikens.

"What do you want blondie?" That guy asked.

"What are you doing in here?" Naruto asked and the man threw a kunai at him, but thankfully, he dodged it. "What the heck was that for?!"

"Don't you ever tell anyone that I'm here. Or else, I'll hurt the ones you love."

"Not if I beat you up first!." He shouted and started punching him, but that guy is so fast, he quickly dodged his punch and used a kunai on Naruto's neck.

"Try to hit me, and I'll cut your head." Naruto just gulped. "Don't even try to call for help. I'll use a forbidden jutsu on you and your whole village." Naruto just clenched his fist. He has no choice but to give up. "Hn. Don't tell anyone about our little secret kid. You know the result if you tell them." The Shinobi smirked and let go of the kunai on Naruto's neck.

"Don't you ever hurt my friends, or else you'll regret it." Naruto said getting his attention.

"Pathetic, but don't worry. I won't hurt your friends, If you'll leave me alone and forget about our meet up Naruto." The Shinobi left leaving an angry Naruto behind.

What should Naruto do? He doesn't want another war after two years. He can't let his friends be a part of this. The worst part is, Lady Tsunade will kill him if she finds out about this.

...

...

On the other side of the training grounds, that brunet Shinobi stopped at his tracks and checked his stuff and started smirking. "Yes, I got it. The scroll that has the forbidden jutsus of the Hidden Leaf Village." He said and went outside the village without anyone stopping him.

...

...

At the Hokage's Tower, a girl was running to see the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama!" She shouted and got inside the Hokage's office.

"Oh Hello Yui, what are you doing in here?" Shizune asked. The woman saw the Hokage sleeping and drooling at the same time.

"Bad news." She said.

"What do you mean?" Shizune asked.
