Hi there… uhm I said "on a week regular basis" but I hope nobody complains if I update more early, right
Hi there… first of all, sorry to u all… I said "on a week regular basis" and with the 2nd chapter I'm alredy late… sorry… btw, next chapter could be late too, u know, I'm studing for the september exams' session at my college, and I have quite a lot to study (I suppose I was a little lazy during the year…)
Summary…
Sasuke is back! But why does he have an Akatsuki cloack on? And why does he brought his team with him? What will Tsunade decide about him? How will team7 and the rest of the rookie 9 react? …but more important: how can Hinata manage a date with Naruto without fainting every other second?
…Authore note & Reviewers corner at the end of the chapter…
And now… R&R!
Disclaimer
I don't own Naruto, nor does Hinata… yet…
Chapter 2
Reunion
Tsunade narrowed her eyes… she absolutely did not like when things did not turn out like she planned them… and that interrogation report really pissed her off…
A complete interrogation on the subject seems almost impossible, even for me. Obviously, being an Uchiha, genjutsu does not work on him, and he being Orochimaru's former pupil, it seems torture is not as effective as I hoped it to be…
Basically, he managed to keep a lot of informations hidden from us, but I managed to find out that he being in Konoha has something to do with an "incomplete revenge" and the "rebuilding of his clan", while his Akatsuki cloak was simply a convenience thing: it seems that, after killing his brother, the subject collapsed, and was taken away by the Akatsuki leader – probably here we're not talking about the same person that killed Jiraya, thought… something's odd, but I can't be more clear on this, being the Uchiha very stubborn on that part – that forced him to join the organization.
It seems that the rumors about him killing Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha and Deidara are true. Also, it seems he acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan (however, I suggest questioning Hatake Kakashi for more informations on this). So, restraining him isn't an options: probably none of our ninja will have a single chance against him. Also, from the informations gathered, it seems that keeping him from leaving Konoha will be pointless: it doesn't seem he has any will to leave, mainly for the reasons stated before.
His buddys, however, are really something.
The bluish guy is named Suigetsu and is from the Mist. His goal seems to be the gathering of the Mist's Seven Swordsmans' swords, but he didn't manage to steal Hoshigaki Kisame's when he had a chance. Probably he will remain in Konoha, because it's very likely Akatsuki – and his target, Kisame – will show here, sooner or later. It seems he has the ability of turn himself into liquid on will: restrain him isn't an option.
The girl is named Karin, and she being with the Uchiha… well, is an hormonal thing… it doesn't seems likely she will leave anytime soon, plus she has some interesting chakra-sensing ability and she is absolutely no harm.
The big guy, Juugo, seems to be the origin of Orochimaru's cursed seal. Basically, sometimes he's assaulted of an uncontrollable killing urge, and him following the Uchiha is because it seems the said Uchiha has the ability to keep that urge under control. Likely, if we manage to provide him a cure, he'll stay. Also, he's no harm when not in Cursed Seal state…
The blonde Hokage groaned. Restraining them seemed pointless, but keeping an eye of them, expecially on the Uchiha boy, was the main priority. She needed to came out with a good plan…
But first… "Shizune!" called
Her assistant peeked from the door "You called, Tsunade-sama?"
"Iie. I was simply shouting random names because I felt like doing it." Shizune sweatdropped "Contact Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura. I want them here in one hour. And I want the Uchiha in stanby in the next room" "Hai, Hokage-sama"
…meanwhile, somewhere else…
Hinata awake with the smell of ramen and the sun peeking from orange curtains. She mumbled something unintelleggible and turner over herself in the bed, covering her face with the blanket. A suppressed giggle was heard behind her, and a sweet voice called "Hinata-hime… is time to wake up…"
Still half-asleep, the Hyuga heiress took a couple of second to register what was going on. Last thing she remembered, she was talking with Naruto and she blanked out. Now, the unknown bed, the smell of ramen, that voice… were all hints that leaded in the same direction: she was in Naruto's house!
As soon as realization hit her, she shot up from the bed, red as a tomato, and found the source of the voice
"Na-Na-Naruto-kun?" he grinned his trademark grin
"Good morning Hinata-chan" he greeted "You must be confused… here, let me explain everything: yesterday you passed out while we were talking, and not knowing what to do, I ended up bringing you at my place" he grinned again, than reached for two cups of istant ramen that were on the table and handed one to Hinata "Here, take that. You must be hungry"
Hinata was in heaven: she was with the boy she loved, in his house, on his bed, and he was offering her food. Hinata sighed 'If that's a dream, I don't want to wake up'
"What's up Hinata-chan? You don't like ramen?" she blushed, realizing she was staring at Naruto, and averted the gaze
"Ah… N-no, ra-ramen is fine… I-I was s-simply da-daydreaming, N-Naruto-kun…"
He laughed "Hinata-chaaaaan… you where in the realm of dreams just a minute ago and you're already back there? Is my house so bad that you can't stay here even for just a couple of minutes?" he joked. Hinata couldn't suppress a giggle. Seeing that, Naruto grinned from ear to ear
"You know, Hinata-chan? You should laugh more often… you're really cute when you do…"
She blushed ten shades of red and started poketing her index finger. "A-ano…" 'He called me cute! He called me cute! He called me cute!'
Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a knocking at the door.
"It's open" shouted the blonde ninja. A pink-haired girl and his pale teammate peeked through the door "Naruto, the Hokage told us…" green eyes meeted lavender ones and widened in shock "…ah… sorry… did we interrupt something?" asked Sakura grinning
Hinata blushed a new shade of red and waved her hands in denial "N-no w-we…N-Naruto-kun… m-me…"
Naruto sighed "Sakura-chaaaaaan!" whined the blonde "You're embarrassing Hinata-chan!"
The pink-haired kunoichi giggled "Gomen Hinata-CHAN, I couldn't resist"
The lavender-eyed girl blushed more and started poking her index finger together. Sai chose that moment to intervene
"Small-Dick, like Ugly was saying" both Sakura and Naruto shot him a death glare "Hogake-sama request your presence at the Hokage building in half a hour"
"Hai, Emo-Boy" agreed the blonde. Hinata giggled hearing the three teammates call themselves with that kind of nicknames
"Well, we'll better be going" Sakura said, waving her hand "later Naruto, bye Hinata"
"Later, Small Dick, bye… uhm… Tomato!" waved Sai. Hinata's eyes widened 'Tomato? He… He's not talking about me, right?' Naruto bursted in laughs
"Hei Sai, you know, you're getting better at that nickname things. Well, later guys, I'll se you at the Hokage building" waved the blonde.
Hinata, however, was too shocked to say anything 'Tomato? …am I really THAT red?'
Naruto laughed again "You don't like Sai's nickname? How comes? You were laughing so bad when you heard Sakura's and mine" teased. Hinata blushed "N-no I-I was…"
The blonde haired boy grinned his trademark grin "No need to worry, Hinata-chan… Sai's nickname's are funny, anyway… well" said Naruto getting up after his two teammates were gone "I'll better get going too. See ya around 12 at Ichiraku's for our little date?" asked to the Hyuga girl.
Hinata eyes widened, while her blush deepened and the poor girl started to hyperventilate 'Date? He said date! He thinks that's a date! I'm going on a date with Naruto-kun! Oh my god' her vision started to blurry. The last thing she heard was Naruto saying "Hinata-chan? What's wrong? Hinata? Oh Kami, not again…" and then the Hyuuga heiress blanked out… again…
…one hour later, at the Hokage building…
Tsunade was tapping nervously on the desk, waiting for the arrival of the last member of Team Kakashi, which surprisely was not the copy-ninja, but the loudmouth-one. The other three members were alredy in her office, a little preoccupied… It wasn't like Naruto being late…
Speaking of the devil… the door shot open as our favourite blonde run screaming in the office, crashing with a chair and falling on the floor face first. Tsunade bursted in laughings, Kakashi simply sweadropped while Sai, as usual, remained calm like nothing appened. "Na-ru-to! Have you any idea of when was the meeting scheduled and what time is now?" inquired a pissed Sakura
Naruto regained the standing position grinning sleepishly, and scratching with a hand the back of his neck said "Gomen nasai, Hinata-chan fainted again and so…"
Tsunade arched an eyebrow, amused "Hinata-CHAN?" teased
Naruto blushed a ligh shade of pink "Aaaaaanyway!" he tried to change the subject "Tsunade-baa-chan, what do you called us for?"
Tsunade smiled an evil grin, ignoring the 'baa-chan' "Shizune!" "Hai" "Let the guests in" "Hai"
The members of Team Kakashi exchanges puzzled looks. Suddenly the door shout open and a well-known raven-haired ninja entered the office… tripping on the same chair on wich crashed Naruto, and falling on the floor face first. A bluish boy entered the office right after, laughing like mad "Sasuke-baka! I told you, but no, you had to do it your way, and look where you're now… ouch!" a red haired girl had smashed him on the head "Just try to be quite for once, would you? You just ruined our entrance, dobe!" "Nani? It was him that ruined everything tripping on that chair… right Juugo?" the bluish guy asked at a guy as big as Choji. Meanwhile, the raven-haired boy had regained the standing position, muttering a "whatever…"
"Sa-sa-sa-sa…" was all Sakura was able to stutter while the scene developed right in front of her eyes. Sai was looking at her with an amused look on his face, while Naruto managed to get out of the shock and scream "Sasuke-teme!"
The Uchiha turned and glared an icy-glare at Kakashi "Seems like you haven't changed a bit, dobe"
Kakashi's eyebrow twitched "Sasuke… how bad has your eyesight gotten? I mean… you're not confusing ME with Naruto, are you?"
The raven haired boy blushed a little (A/N: it's an embarrassed-blush, not an hinata-trademark-blush, obviously…) and turned to face the Hokage, while muttering a "whatever…"
…a few hours later, Ichiraku's Ramen Stand…
Our favourite heiress was sitting on a bench in front of the most famous ramen stand in Konoha, waiting for her date to arrive… she was a little early, but better wait a few minutes that making her crush grow tired waiting for her, right?
Being the matter a date with her Naruto-kun, she was blushing madly at the simple thought, poketing her index fingers together and daydreaming about the possible outcome of that date… so she completely missed the head of an unusually quiet Naruto peek from a corner of the stand. A few seconds later, being as subtle as he could manage, the blonde-haired boy was circuing Hinata, out of her sight, and approaching her from behind. When he was sure she hadn't seen him, he closed the distance until he was only a few inches from her back, and quickly covering her eyes with his hands from behind, he shouted "Guess who?"
Hinata let out a single "Eep!" of surprise before realizing that the voice was unmistakably that of her Naruto-kun and he was obviously touching her, and then, promptly… fainted!
Next Chapter – What the hell?! Training?!
What happened during the meeting with Sasuke? Has Tsunade came out with a good plan? And how is the NaruHina date going?
Author Notes
Finally done! Not long how I hoped it would be, but I thought it was better not putting too much things in a single chapter… till now we had basically two points of view, a Naru/Hina-third-person-omiscent-pov and a Sasu/Tsu-third-person-omniscent-pov, next issue I'll introduce a Neji-third-person-omniscent-pov and an Hanabi one… and gradually I will had more and more povs… obviously I can't manage tons of pairing without a good number of povs, can I?
Some important note:
…on Kyubi… in the first chapter, there are hints of Hinata knowing something about the Kyubi… well, she does not, she only knows what Kabuto told during their encounter (remember? While Sasuke was fighting Deidara…)… the matter is tabbed to be on the next chapter anyway…
…on Sasuke the avenger… actually, I think my Sasuke is less ooc than that of the real series… I men, he wants revenge on Konoha (you'll see, you'll see…), why should he go hunting the eight-tail? It's pointless to him!
…on NaruHina… I don't think my Naruto is ooc being sweet with Hinata… he's simply being a clueless flirting idiot… like he is xD
…on Karin… ok a little confusion, is not pink but tomato-red, anyway you can see my point, right? …she's weird :P
…on the pairings… continue your suggestions plz, you're helping me a lot in deciding…
Reviewer's Corner
My thanks goes to all the people who reviewed the first chapter, expecially to:
jojoma-kitsune: ok, he's a sword maniac… but anyway I think TenTen will find his obsession cute xD ShikaKure is interesting…
Numadude: yeah I see your point xD she's even more aggressive than Temari… not to mention her chest (I see Shikamaru like a boobs-obsessed pervert xD)
GraityTheWizard: Shikamaru's relationship analisy is a pretty good one… but I must disagree with the Sasuke's one: the point in Sasuke's having a lot of mates is that he can restore his clan easier that way… what's the point in Naruto's?
JoshK1o25: I like challenges xD
I'MNOTCRAZY1: Sakura? Who said Sakura? xD The other choice is a I-want-to-restore-my-clan-the-best-way-possible-so-I-have-to-choise-carefully-the-best-possible-wife-Sasuke, and I don't think Sakura is "the best possible wife" for restoring the Uchiha clan… (bloodline limits? Any particular ability? Oh Kami, she has PINK hair… xD)… and Karin is not ugly, poor girl… xD
I think I'm setting down on a couple of pairing, but continue your suggestions, nothing is decided until is written down and u can convince me change my ideas (even if u don't know what they are xD I will not tell u what I'm deciding till I write it down, the fic is under "NaruHina" so that will be the only known certain paring for now xD)
Again, thank you all and stay tuned...
