(this is my first chapter I hope it works please enjoy my fanfic)
Secret Desirers
"Itadakimasu!" the yellow haired shinobi snapped his chop sticks in two as he slurp down his bowl of ramen. He grinned proudly to himself as he pushed the bowl aside and glanced up at the waitress. "Another bowl Ayame!" he cheered loudly. She shook her head as she pulled yet another bowl away from the shinobi. "You know Naruto, it's not good for you to eat this much ramen, one day you might regret it" she warned as her father handed him another bowl of miso pork ramen. Naruto shot his head away from Ayame making a "pfft" sound as he dug into his fifth bowl that day.
"Gochisou-sama" Naruto grinned as he waved to Ayame and Teuchi (Ayame's dad) and headed out towards his apartment. Naruto was now 16 years old, strong, brave and very handsome. After he returned from training with Jiraiya almost 4 months ago the people in the village seemed to notice him a lot more, and not just because he was the kyuubi's vessel. After the "handsome runaway" Sasuke Uchiha left the village the women of konoha started to see Naruto in a completely new way. Despite the new attractions, there was always one girl who always thought he was handsome and a worthy ninja.
Hinata Hyuga, heiress to the wealthiest clan in Konoha. Hinata is a shy, timid girl who often blends in with the background. She doesn't like to be the centre of attention and is more worried about other people's problems, than her own. However, after years of brutally hard training, Hinata has gotten stronger and stronger, her confidence in her fighting and above all in herself has grown more and more each day. She never would have imagined she'd be this strong, if it wasn't for her long time crush Naruto Uzumaki, who gave her courage and strength during her fight with her cousin Neji Hyuga, she would have never driving to be anything more than a disappointment and a failure to her friends and family.
Hinata smiled shyly to herself at the thought of her crush. A faint blush played across her cheeks as she remembered the day he came back to Konoha, he looked really good.
"Hinata" she snapped out of her daze shaking her head as she spun around to come face to face with her team mate and best friend Kiba Inuzuka and his friendly companion Akamaru. "Hmm...?" he put his hands on his hips and lend in closer to her face looking her over. Hinata's blushed deepened as his eyes wondered over her face. He smirked and pulled back. "So... thinking about Naruto again huh?" he gave her a wink as her face got redder (if that was even possible)
"A-ano n-no I was...ah..." she started twiddling her fingers praying that he would get the point and change the subject. Thankfully he did.
"Anyway Hokage-sama sent for us, she wants to brief us on our next mission" she nodded and followed after him as he made his way towards the Hokage mansion.
"Naruto...?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow as Naruto burst into her office and slammed his fist on her desk. He frowned down at her meeting her strong gaze and growled under his breath. "Come on granny Tsunade! It's been weeks since I've had a descent mission!" he yelled leaning in closer to her face.
Tsunade's eyebrow twitched at the common nickname. She sighed and leaned away flipping her hair away from her shoulder as she looked back at the stack of documents that covered her floor. "I've already told you; after you were so badly hurt from your last mission it would be unwise for me to send you on any high ranking missions for awhile"
Naruto growled again frantically running his hands through his hair as he screamed. "Ahhh! I already said I'm fine! I feel heaps better, come on granny Tsunade just one mission, please...?" he begged. Tsunade frowned and was about to respond when there was a knock at the door. Naruto turned around as Tsunade called them in. Kiba walked forward with Hinata closely behind him. "Oh" Naruto blink as he watched the two of them walked towards Tsunade's desk. "Hey Kiba and Hinata, what are you doing here?"
Hinata gasped as she looked up and down at Naruto. "N-Naruto-kun..." she felt her cheeks heat up as he looked at her with those deep blue eyes. She ripped her eyes away from his as she stared down at the ground fiddling with her fingers. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her actions and thought 'weird...'
Kiba scoffed at Naruto's question crossing his arms over his chest. "What normal ninja's do idiot, we're here for our mission" he half yelled. Naruto frowned at him from across the room forgetting about Hinata as Tsunade talked.
"Good I'm glad you're both here" she gave a sideways glance to Naruto and smirked a little intertwining her fingers and bringing them to her nose. "The three of you are to collect and deliver a scroll of great importance to Konoha (hidden leaf village) and Iwagakure (hidden stone village), if the scroll is not safely delivered to its destination, great calamity could fall upon the two villages"
There was silence for a brief moment before Kiba cocked his head to one side. "Wait the three of us?" he stated bluntly. Tsunade sighed. 'Out of everything I just said that's what he asks me' she lowered her hands and smiled at the three shinobi in front of her
"Yes, for this mission Naruto will be accompanying you, he will be replacing Shino...seeing as how he's on another mission" Naruto's smile grew at hearing her words.
"Yeah!" he jumped up pumping his fist in the air as he processed what she had said. Kiba sighed and shook his head slowly. 'Why does this always happen' Kiba grew a stern look on his face as he looked up at Tsunade whilst Naruto continued jumping for joy.
"But Hokage-sama, I thought this mission was meant to be stealthy, you know, get in get out sorta thing. Wouldn't it be easier with fewer shinobi and no offence, but Naruto's not exactly the quietest guy around"
"WHAT!" Naruto yelled. Kiba rolled his eyes at his outburst whilst Tsunade just smiled.
"Ha, I am aware of the mission's requirements, but also in the slight chance you do get detected you will need to be able to defend yourselves and the scroll. Having just two shinobi to retrieve the scroll should be enough, but bringing it back safely might be a different story. There are strong ninjas after this scroll, some may even rank as high as 'S' rank so it would be wise to send someone with skilled fighting abilities in case of an attack".
"But...if that's so t-then why is this just a B rank mission instead of s-something higher?" Tsunade turned her attention to the shy Hyuga girl as she spoke. Naruto looked at her surprised as if he forgot she was there. Tsunade nodded in agreement.
"The reason we are not classifying it as a higher rank is because, the mission should be fairly simple. Not many people know about the scroll's existents; and even if they did only a handful of people including myself know where it's hidden"
"Then why don't we leave it there, if hardly anyone knows about it then why should we bother to move it?" Naruto asked scratching the back of his neck in confusion. Tsunade sighed and nodded.
"I understand how you feel, but the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, has a growing suspicion that someone knows about the scrolls location and fears that his village will be attacked. That is why he has asked us to retrieve the scroll and bring it safely back to Konoha where it'll be more protected"
Naruto grumbled to himself as he nodded slowly. "Good" Tsunade stood behind her desk and gazed over their faces. "You will head to Iwagakure and retrieve the scroll, then you'll bring it back here where it will be securely guarded" she gave a small smile and winked at Naruto as his eyes met hers. "Alright dismissed, you will depart as soon as you leave here" she announced. The three shinobi nodded as they left her office and packed for the journey ahead.
Hinata sat with a small smile on her lips as the cooling wind rushed throw her hair making it blow slightly around her face. Kiba growled and paced back and forth whilst Akamaru watched his master as he panted heavily sticking his tongue out. "Ahhh! Where the hell is he we were meant to leave 5 minutes ago" Kiba yelled. Hinata looked up at him and bit her lip as she looked down the street. 'Naruto-kun' just as she thought that a spiky blonde haired ninja dropped in front of her eyes and smiled.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late" he said sheepishly scratching the back of his head. Kiba sighed and walked forward walking out of the gates with Akamaru and Hinata.
Kiba groaned as he slung his bag over his shoulder. "Ahhh whatever, let's just get going before we waste any more time" Hinata nodded smiling lightly as she walked beside Kiba. Naruto ran up to them and breathed deeply taking in the open air. 'Finally...' he sighed mentally.
