Peacemaker01: Alright people, I hope you are ready for this. The story you are about to read is the sequel of Mission to the Land of Lightning. Naruto and Hinata have returned from their mission, but what will everybody say about their new and delicate relationship? (I might change the title later, but let's see how it goes...)
Being With You
Chapter 1 Return to the Leaf
Naruto and Hinata had just walked in through the village gates and were still holding hands together. As they walked in, Izumo and kotetsu, the guards to the gate leading in and out of the village, watched in amazement at the sight of Naruto Uzumaki, the number-one-hyper-active-nuckle-headed ninja, and Hinata Hyuga, the heiress of the Hyuga Clan, hand in hand.
"D-Did you see that!" asked Izumo to Kotetsu. Kotetsu nodded as he watched Naruto and Hinata walk off towards the village, still shocked that they looked like they were together.
"I sure did. That's a surprise for sure." said Kotetsu. They both sat down and continued their job together, wondering what had happened over their mission. I mean after all, they were teenagers...
Naruto looked at Hinata with a smile as he looked all around them, seeming unsure if they should really be walking through the village like this... as a couple. She was happier than she had ever been before, but she still was worried about what other people would think. Naruto nudged her a bit as she looked at him as he winked at her.
"Don't worry Hinata! Just ignore these guys. I'm right here with you all the way." said Naruto. Hinata blushed heavily and smiled as she grabbed onto Naruto's entire arm and pressing it close to her chest, making Naruto feel... uncomfortable.
"Thanks Naruto." she said. Naruto nodded and smiled at her. He then looked ahead and noticed that they were close to the front door to the Hokage's Tower. They stopped for a second as Naruto held her hands and looked at her fully.
"Look Hinata, how about this: I'll go and report in to Grandma Tsunade and then we can meet up later. Say around, maybe seven, at my house? I know this place we can go to to eat tonight... unless, you don't want to, I-" said Naruto. Hinata dove into Naruto and gave him a big hug, stopping his sentence.
"I would love to! That sounds great!" she said. Naruto nodded and hugged Hinata back. Hinata let go and started to head toward her home down one way from the Hokage Tower. Naruto turned to enter to go and report to Grandma Tsunade about their mission. He entered through the front doors and continued up the rounded hallway to the top level where Tsunade stayed in her office all day doing paper work. When Naruto knocked on the door, Tsunade grunted and then gave him the word to enter inside.
"Mission Accomplished Grandma!" said Naruto throwing up a thumbs up at her. She looked at Naruto and seemed surprised at his appearance in her room.
"Oh, Naruto! Good to see you back." said Tsunade. Naruto nodded and brought some money out of his backpack and handed to it Tsunade.
"This is the payment fee that the Village Hidden in the Clouds owed us. Plus a little extra for doing such a great job." said Naruto whiping his nose with his index finger acting proud of himself. Tsunade looked at the money herself and was surprised about how much they paid him.
"Good then. Great job, Naruto." said Tsunade. Naruto nodded and began to explain things to Tsunade about his mission...
Hinata entered into her house and was greeted by her father and her younger sister, Hanabi. Hinata looked down at her feet, not exactly thrilled to have returned from her mission and back to her house. Haishi, Hinata's father came up to Hinata and put his hand behind his back and intertwined his fingers with eachother.
"How was your mission?" asked Haishi. Hinata nodded and looked past him towards the end of the hallway where her room was.
"It was fine. Naruto and I completed it without much of a struggle." said Hinata. Haishi looked at her with a hint of annoyance.
"Naruto?" asked Haishi sounding displeased. Hinata looked away from Haishi more than she already had. "Hinata, I told you to stay away from that boy. He's dangerous." he said sounding strict. Hinata nodded and walked to her room only glancing at Hanabi who was almost glaring at Hinata. Hinata entered her room and sat down on her bed as she let down her bag on the floor.
"Naruto is not dangerous." said Hinata. She smiled and thought about the always smiling face of Naruto and she blushed lightly. She couldn't wait to see him later on that day and headed to her wardrobe. "I have to find something nice for tonight." said Hinata as she began to pick out clothes from her wardrobe and started to decide which would be best.
"What!" yelled Tsunade at Naruto. Naruto blushed and rubbed the back of his head, feeling a little embaressed. "You and Hinata are a "what" now!" she continued to yell.
"A couple." said Naruto proudly. Tsunade broke the pen that was in her hand at the time and reached over her desk to grab Naruto by the collar and shake him wildly.
"I send you on missions so that you can help the village earn more income and to hone your skills as a ninja! Not so that you can have some alone time with a pretty young woman and take advantage of the situation!" yelled Tsunade. She let go of Naruto's collar and allowed him to recover and breath again from her monsterous strength.
"I-I'm sorry! I try and share my happiness with people about how Hinata and I are together now, and I get beat up for it!" yelled Naruto at Tsunade as he continued to hold a hand to his throat to make sure it wasn't broken or anything. Tsunade let out a sigh and sat back down in her desk.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you so roughly." said Tsunade. Naruto nodded and looked at Tsunade as happy as can be. Still though, there was a question floating in the back of her head. "So, Naruto." said Tsunade.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"How long have you and Hinata been together?" asked Tsunade. Naruto thought about it for a second and then answered.
"About two, maybe three days." said Naruto. Tsunade glared at him and crossed her arms as she looked at Naruto.
"So... in that time... did you and Hinata... "do" anything?" she asked with her voice as sharp and cold as ice. Naruto didn't understand what she meant at first, but after a moment of thinking about it, Naruto caught her drift as his faced turned red with complete embaressment.
"N-No! I-I would never! I haven't e-even thought about "that"!" yelled Naruto at Tsunade. Tsunade's anger began to grow larger and larger as Naruto could feel the very life slip out of him from her staring.
"Are you sure? I'm a medical ninja after all, so I can find out as soon as I call in Hinata." said Tsunade. Naruto shrank even more as Tsunade's suspicion began to overpower him.
"I haven't done anything! I swear!" yelled Naruto. In an instant, Tsunade and Naruto returned back to normal.
"Okay then, I believe you." said Tsunade. Naruto nodded and let out a sigh of relief. That was the most unplesant conversation he ever had with anybody.
"Thanks." said Naruto as he began to leave. "I have to go right now though, so I'll see ya later Granny." said Naruto and turned to walk back out of the door. Tsunade let out a sigh and leaned back in her chair. She knew that durring the years that Naruto was away, he was with the biggest pervert that Tsunade ever knew. In all that time, Naruto could have picked up a few "tips" from him, which would make him a threat to Hinata. It was a good thing though that Naruto was trustworthy. As Naruto walked out of the Hokage Tower, he ran into Kakashi as he was walking and reading his new "Make-Out Paradise" volume. Kakashi glanced up at Naruto as he approached and put his book away in his back pocket.
"Hey Naruto. How was your mission?" asked Kakashi. Naruto looked at Kakashi and gave him a smile with a thumbs up too. "It went great! Actually, can we talk, y'know, in private?" asked Naruto. Kakashi looked at him with a look of surprise as he nodded. "Sure, why not? I got some time to spare." said Kakashi. He followed Naruto to where it would be private enough for them to talk. When they found a place behind a building further out in the village, Naruto began speaking.
"I see." said Kakashi. Naruto nodded and waited for his approval. "So while you were on your mission with Hinata, you and her became a couple, huh?" asked Kakashi. Naruto nodded. Kakashi put a hand on Naruto's shoulder and smiled (though he could never really tell because of Kakashi constantly wearing a mask. T.T). "Good job Naruto. You chose quite a pretty young lady to be your first girlfriend." said Kakashi. Naruto smiled big and nodded.
"Thanks!" he said. "Hinata and I are meeting up later, and I told her we were going out tonight. I want to at least look good for her, but I don't have a whole lot of other clothes..." said Naruto.
"Okay..." said Kakashi.
"So I was sondering... I don't know much about what to actually do on a date, and I'm not sure what clothes I should buy so that I could look good for her either. If you can, will you help me out here?" asked Naruto. Kakashi was shocked at the request as he scratched his chin.
"Why me, though?" asked Kakashi.
"You're a cool guy, so have to have been at least on one date before. I was sure that you would have more experience than I do, so I thought you could help." said Naruto. Kakashi nodded his head and smiled.
"Well, you're right about that. Okay, I'll help you out." said Kakashi. Naruto jumped and the air while at the same time launching a fist upward and smiled.
"Yeah! Thanks Kakashi Sensei!" yelled Naruto. Kakashi sighed and started to walk away.
"First thing's first, Naruto. We need to go get you something to whear..." said Kakashi as he and Naruto headed down the main market street. As they continued to the store where Naruto could buy a suit, Kakashi explained the basic procedure to any date. You have to always be polite, always have something to talk about, and make sure to listen to what your date has to say. Respect her space, while at the same time, not acting distant. And most importantly, follow most of these steps while at the same time being yourself. Naruto understood most of it and nodded as Kakashi explained things more and more. At the end of the day, Naruto had arrived at his house and Kakashi followed him inside.
"Thanks a lot for your help today, Kakashi Sensei! I learned a lot!" said Naruto as he took his clothes that he just bought and put them on his bed in his room.
"Sure. Just make sure to not mess it up for yourself." said Kakashi with a bit of humor in his voice. Naruto nodded and shook Kakashi's hand.
"Don't worry, I won't." said Naruto. Kakashi nodded and left Naruto's house, heading back outside to read his book. Naruto looked at the suit that he bought and smiled at it. This was going to be perfect. Naruto would be extremely sure of that.
