Chapter Two
Little over a week had past since Naruto had the dream. Life went on has normal, if you consider, having kunai and shurikan thrown at you on a daily basis normal.
Right now, he was on his way, from his peaceful shack in the woods, to the only place in the village he could be without having something thrown at him. The Ramen stand.
"What will it be today Naruto-kun?" asked the owner.
"Ramen, with BBQ pork and squirrel!"
"Coming right up!"
After eating lunch, he headed for a training feild for obvious reasons. He would be going to the acadamy soon. He had the pyhsical stamina, but he could barely Henge. Though because he could Henge, he was able to go in to library to study nin-arts, chakra control, he had mastered a few basic jutsu. Kawarimi(substitution), and so on.
He trained for hours practicing jutsu he knew. Also trying a new one he had found in the library, Kage bunshin. He needed work, lots of it. The clones sucked. Parts of the body in the wrong spots. Plus basic tiajutsu.
Little did he know...
Hinata had only just finished training with Neji-sama. A couple fields away, and was cooling off while walking down a trail, when she heard this...
"Damn! Why can't I get this right?! Okay, again. Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"
She saw smoke, looking through the bushes, into the clearing smoke to see...
'...Him.' she thought blushing. Entering the clearing.
"Damn it!" suddenly turning, Blue-eyes glaring, while taking a basic tiajutsu stance.
She took the same stance, her jacket sleeves covering her hands.
"Who are you?" asks the blonde boy.
"Hy-Hyuuga H-Hinata, a-and you?"
"Uzamaki Naruto, the next Hokage." he pauses only to see Hinata drop her stance. "I'm ready for anything you can throw at me. It probably has already anyway."
"W-why w-would i d-do that?" suprised at what he just said.
"Hate. Hate, is the reason. All but three people in this village have shown hate. Why should you be any different."
"B-B-Because I d-d-don't h-ha-hate you. I-I-In f-fa-fact I w-would l-like to b-be y-y-your friend."
"Y-Y-You m-mean it?" he asked. While Hinata nods slowly, he stared into her eyes looking for deception. He saw nothing but sincerity. Then decided to look at her appearence.
She had: Raven hair, shorts that cut off just above the knees, sandles, fingerless gloves, and a whiteish jacket sleeves a little to long. He walks up to her and hugs her.
"Thank you...Thank you." he said in her ear barely a whisper.
"Y-Your w-wel-welcome." blushing, but speaking in a caring voice, patting him on the back. After a few moments Naruto broke the embrace.
"Would you mind sparing with me?"
"S-Sure I'll sp-spar w-with you." taking a basic tiajutsu stance. After a while they stop at this sound.
gggrroowwwllll
Both looking down at their stomachs. Naruto rubs the back of his neck.
"Heh.Heh. We can go to my place and get some ramen. If its okay with you."
"O-Okay." Twenty minutes later, they step into his shack.
"It's not much but it work," giving a freshly made cup of ramen.
"Th-Thank you b-but wh-where are your p-parents?"
"They died during the kyuubi attack the same day I was born, the sameday I got this," showing her the seal on his stomach. "At the request of Old Man Hokage, the ramen stand owners cared for me 'til I was old enough to fend for myself, that was six years ago... Did I say something wrong?"
Hinata was crying openly "N-No. I'm sorry..."
"For what?"
Y-You m-must be so l-l-lonely."
"A little. Your the first friend I've had."
"I-I-I am?"
"Yes." pausing to messly eat ramen. "I mean your the first of the village to walk up to me and show kindness. I don't hate them for this. I just hope to know why, and that they'll know me for me."
"They will," she told him, her voice was stronger suddenly. "You'll make a great Hokage... Someday."
