Attention: This is really about an M, but I'd say it's T 14-16.
Author's notes: This is my first Naruto fic, as well as my first fic ever. Please don't be rude, just give comment or feedback. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Story note: This takes place after Tsunade is hokage, and also after Sasuke ran to Orochimaru.
Pairings: Almost every pair available with the characters that are actually in the fic.
Extra: This is T. Not R, people. There will be juicy moments though...and maybe some smut behind the scenes.

"NARUTO!!!" was the only thing that rang throughout the Blonde haired boys ears. He froze when hearing Sakura-chan's voice, it sounded rather angry and she was not pretty when she was mad. Which is why he now regretted doing all those things that he had just done throughout those past ten minutes of the day, like walking in on Sakura while she was changing, and just staring. He hadn't run until she was running his way with a clenched fist.
"Smart, Naruto...just smart. Maybe I should have knocked on her door before I walked in."He was having a debate with himself as he felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of his face. He had been running from her for only about ten minutes, but Sakura had gotten quicker and smarter since training with Tsunade, not to mention prettier.
"That idiot is going to get it when I find him...Where is he?!?" Sakura asked herself as she walked along the streets of Konoha, acting sweet and innocent to passing people of the village. She had really grown in the past three years, she had matured. Stepping foward into Konohas forest she smirked, he would be around here somewhere. Slowly walking and not making a sound, she waited for him to pop out as she hopped up in a tree and watched a bush…the exact bush in which he was hiding.
Long, black hair wisped side to side as Hinata strolled through the streets of Konohagakure. As much as she had grown over the years, her love for Naruto had not changed in the least. She sort of envied Sakura, she knew Naruto loved her. Unaware of why Sakura had called Naruto's name before storming off with clenched fists, she continued to walk onward. Pupilless purple eyes stared down to her black shoes, as she twiddled with her two index fingers. Life in Konohagakure had grown boring, but maybe Tsunade would have something interesting for them to do. Thinking about that, she then realized she needed Naruto and Sakura to come along as well, and she began to run after Sakura.
Once in the forest, she looked up upon hearing a twig break only to see Sakura. "H…H…Hey Sakura!" Hinata called, but probably not loud enough, not realizing where Naruto was. "N...Naruto, me, a…and you are all wanted by Ts..Tsunade! We should go now." Hinata stuttered. That stuttering problem hadn't changed much either, but she could atleast get most of it out without blushing so much. Talking to Naruto was a different story, however.
Sakura glanced down at the Hyuuga girl curiously, but she soon nodded and hopped down from the branch and onto the ground with a soft thud.
"What does Lady Tsunade want? Is there something wrong?" Sakura asked, a cross expression of worried and conern playing across her face as she awatied an answer. She was too soon interrupted by the blonde haired nin to get an answer, whom had jumped out of the bushes a few seonds later. "Granny-san needs us?" he asked as his blue eyes widened as he wondered what she needed them for.
Thoughts played in his head as he snickered. One thought was that Tsunade was handing him and a crown and naming him Hokage of Konohagakure, which he knew would never happen, but hey, the boy could keep dreaming. Wishful thinking is what it was.
"N..Nothing's wrong. She just needs us is all." Hinata explained, blushing the second Naruto popped up. "H..Hi N..Na...Naruto-k...kun." Hinata stuttered, her face getting redder by the second. If it was a mission it would be the perfect time to get Naruto alone and tell him how she felt, or atleast try to before fainting. If it was just to tell them some news of the village, her secret would stay a secret. She sighed and turned to go back to Tsunade, not wanting to let Naruto see how red her face was. Her index fingers began to twiddle once again, and her purple eyes were looking on ahead.
"Oh, alright. Lets go then…" Sakura said, smiling as she glanced over to Naruto and rolled her eyes.
"Idiot, we only have to go see Tsunade-sama..."she told him as she looked at Hinata and nodded for her to walk on and they could all leave togeter. Her emerald eyes glanced around the village as she sighed. There was always something, someone missing to her and Narutos daily activities. She couldnt help but think about him sometimes, but she always forced herself not to.
Naruto was in his own little world just walking along the path with the two girls
"Heh, granny-san needs us! I wonder if its a mission..." he snickered, his voice trailing off
Hinata just smiled at all their remarks. As much as she wanted to, she felt as though she would never be able to tell Naruto of how she felt. She would someday though, someday soon.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, she knocked lightly on the door, exhuberant eyes waiting for permission to step in.
After Lady Tsunade's tired voice called them in, Hinata opened the door, stepping to the side as Tsunade rose to her feet
"There have been mysterious deaths lately in the Waterfall village." Tsunade began, standing in front of the three. "And since they're our allies, I'm sending you three on a mission there to find out why, and who. You leave early tomorrow morning. Any questions?" She said, leaning on the front of her desk
Sakura stepped forward. "This is a little short notice, don't you think?" She asked, hoping Tsunade would reschedule. She had wanted to train tomorrow, and she was not in the mood to go on a mission with Naruto, and she still wouldn't be tomorrow
"No, ninja must be ready for anything. Now go and get ready. I will see you off tomorrow at Konohagakure's gates, understand?" Tsunade said, sitting back down and getting rather comfortable
The three nin nodded and began to leave, but Hinata jumped out with a question
"W…When do we need to be back by? A..And um…do we need to bring back the ninja if we do find out who it is?" Hinata asked
"If you aren't back within a month, ANBU will come after you, and you will fail your mission. This is the only mission I will ever ask you to do without your sensei. And, we would like it if you brought him or her back alive. Okay?" Tsunade explained, a smug look on her face. This wasn't JUST a mission. It was a bet throughout Konoha. These three would never realise it though
They turned to leave, mentally preparing for tomorrow.
