Naruto - Hinata's wish
(at Konoha in a real-life perspective)
written by: Nichiren
Chapter 1 - Everyday
Early one morning, Naruto woke up. The sleepy boy seemed to have problems leaving the bed.
He was so tired he bent forward before he opened his eyes. Naruto noticed his room was rather
messy. He created a Rasengan last night as he fell asleep to some boring TV show. He thought
it was just a dream. The hole seemed deep... He got up, walked slooowly to the hole, looking
down on it. Naruto stared for about 30 seconds before finally laughing at it, taking it easy by
thinking of how much power he has gained.
He walked somewhat dizzy to the fridge, opening up to stare into a couple of beers he got
from Chouji last week. Not really tempting right now... He fetched himself a glass of milk and
drank it up. His eyes had yet to open up, maybe he slept for too long... It was one of his days
off. He saw Shikamaru's forehead protector he forgot about in his last visit laying on the table.
There was currently no missions so he just took it all easy, resting after his previous night
training with creating one Rasengan in each hand, at the same time.
Later he took a walk to visit one of his friends, named Shikamaru. He knocked on the door,
and the door opened up by itself, and Shikamaru sat on the couch eating bread and cheese
with his left hand, while his right hand formed a seal. Naruto looked rather confused.
"W-what's... How did you...", he stuttered. Shikamaru smiled somewhat proudly, and told
Naruto he has gotten better with his techniques, and explained what he did. Not did he only
create a Shadow imitation with one hand, but also opened the door with it. "You're weird...",
Naruto said, and scratched his back head like he always do when he's confused.
Naruto joined Shikamaru on the couch and he asked Naruto how his training was going.
"Heheheee, I'm getting hella strong, I tell you!", Naruto said, "I just recently learned to create
Rasengan without Shadow Replications to help me out, but currently I'm struggling creating
one in each hand, it's so confusing..." Shikamaru got surprised by how a dumb kid like
Naruto could manage something like that. Shikamaru finished his meal and walked into the
living room to get a board of chess so that they could play. Naruto liked the game, even
though he always lost to Shikamaru.
Then, the door knocked, and Shikamaru was assigned to a mission. "How troublesome...",
Shikamaru said, and walked outside followed by Naruto. "Well I'll see you later when you
return", Naruto said. Naruto checked his money pouch, and yep, Naruto has become rather
rich! But that was about the only reasons for doing C-class missions all the time...
Later that day, Naruto walked through Konoha market, spotting Hinata and approaching her
from behind. Naruto snuck up on her, and suddenly grabbed her shoulders hard from behind
combined with a loud "BOO!". Hinata, screamed out, and Naruto starts his laughing, like he
just won a victory. Hinata turns around, recognizing his voice, and shy as she is she doesn't
even have the courage to look him in the eyes. She mumbles a low "N-naruto-kun..." and
smiles a little. She's embarrised. She often take on a walk during nights, which made her
a bit tired at daytime. Maybe that made her easier to scare. Naruto, however, still hasn't
figured she is super-shy and have a big crush on him...
Naruto says he's sorry about it, and grabs her shoulders again, and looks deep into her eyes,
asking if she's alright. Hinata starts to blush real hard, a red color covers her face, and she
passes out. Kiba, which was with her, says "Now again?? She always passes out when you're
nearby Naruto, you bring bad luck! Geez..." Naruto mumbles something and walks home,
ignoring the event.
Naruto came home to relax a bit, laying down on his bed watching TV as the night came across.
Lazy as he is, he creates a Shadow Replication to turn on the TV for him, and another one to
go to get his chocolate bars. He laughs for himself, enjoying the candy and life's good sides
on the lazy front. One of the clumsy Replication also hits Shikamaru's forehead protector
while forming the seal. There would be no wonder if Naruto should slip on it...
Later on, Naruto gets tired, and crawls up from the bed, and notices his picture of Sakura
on his desk. He stares at it, and the inscription he made on it some years ago. Naruto takes
a deep sigh, looking somewhat sad... Realizing he has finally given up on her, he pics up
the picture and throws it out the window, smashing the glass on it on a big stone.
He then goes to bed to get another night's sleep.
On the other hand, Hinata is on her usual nightwalk, constantly focusing on improving herself
to approach Naruto, even though after several years of failure she still hasn't made it.
She hear the sound of breaking glass nearby Naruto's place, and she walks by, afraid of
being noticed. On the ground some meters away from his window she found the picture,
and read his inscription. It said "Sakura-chan, my future love" with several hearts attached
to it...
