Next chapter! Thanks for the reviews and story alerts! Oh, and sorry for the bad grammar in the last chapter, I didn't see it when I posted, reading through it I saw the mistakes. But didn't know how to fix it. Okay, in this chapter we center on Naruto. Last chapter I thought since Satan's blood could open the world of Gehenna; Rin's blood could open other worlds as well. This takes place in Naruto Shippuden before Sai comes in and at the end of season one. I hope you enjoy.

"Hey, Ichiraku! Hit me with another bowl of miso ramen please." Naruto Uzumaki, better known as the holder of the nine-tailed fox yelled, who had just finished his fifth bowl of ramen and was egger to eat more. The owner of the current shop they were in chuckled a bit before yelling in a barbaric tone across the room, "Another order of miso ramen on the double." A female voice was heard as she shouted back, "Got that."

Naruto smiled at the generosity these people always gave him, they never had that dirty look in their eyes whenever they saw him as a child. They even gave him free food, when Iruka-sensei wasn't around that is. But most of the time he would have to pay. A minute later, a girl with soft, long chestnut colored hair that matched her eyes and on top her head was a white bandana, her outfit was a dark blue color with a white ribbon that held it in place on her waist, under it was a white robe. She walked in saying, "Another miso ramen fresh and hot ready for you Naruto." She slid the bowl on the table; it stopped in front of the host of the nine-tailed fox. Ayame rested both her elbows on the counter crisscross, as she stood next to her father. Naruto's sky blue eyes alone looked like he had already devoured the meal. Grabbing a new pair of chopsticks from the counter, he broke them in half and started to happily eat the ramen.

"So, Naruto. How's team Kakashi doing so far, have a fist fight yet?" Ayame asked, who was now cleaning the counter with a white cloth. 'Not with Sakura, her fist would break every bone in by body with a single punch.' Naruto shuddered at the thought. Slurping up his current noodles he spoke.

"We've been doing fine so far, although there have been a few arguments." The host of the nine-tailed fox stated to look up at the ceiling, remembering the "arguments."

~Flashback~

"Naruto, you baka!" Sakura punched him in his gut.

"Naruto, you baka!" Sakura slapped him in the back of the head.

"Naruto, you baka!" Sakura uppercut him.

~End of flashback~

"Not so much of arguments, but I'm glad we've been made a team again. I don't know what I would do if I was put in another group." He rubbed his blonde hair, but then continued eating his miso ramen.

He finished his favorite food with a satisfied sigh, as Naruto got up from his seat and reached into his pocket. He successfully pulled out what appeared to be a frog pouch; he opened it and took out some money.

"This is enough for all the ramen I just had, right?" Naruto held out a hand full of money and placed it in front of the counter for the owner to see. Ichiraku took a glance at it and easily saw that it was more than enough for the food, worth about three more bowls in fact. He looked up and stared at Naruto, before the demon container gave off a grin.

"For all the times you gave me free ramen, it's not enough to repay for all of them so consider it a tip more or less. For the meals and more you guys gave me." Before any of them could replay, Naruto walked out of the shop, not missing the smile on the ramen shop owner's face.

'Naruto, you didn't have to thank us, we were more than happy to help our best costumer.'

The blonde haired boy roamed around town, looking for something to do to pass the time. Having a day off from doing missions had him bored out of his mind. He was thinking of finding Sakura and hanging out with her, but his fear of bothering her on a day of relaxing had steered his mind away from his idea. He could go visit Lee, but he was probably training (Which meant he was doing something very unpredictable and super weird with his teacher.)

'Training. That's what I should be doing right now. I can't lay around doing nothing, although that would be nice, I need to train some more. Oh no, I'm starting to sound like Bushy-brows!'

Deep in his thoughts, he hadn't noticed a certain girl coming towards him. Coincidently, she too, was deep in thought, because of this, they both crashed into each other. Effectively knocking them both down onto their butts, Naruto and the mystery girl both rubbed their heads and looked up to see what had happened. Hinata Hyuga was not expecting to be seeing Naruto on their day off. But it was a small village, so it was likely to happen. She was too deep in thought about something to even notice he was walking towards her. Now that she had got a good view of the person she had bumped into, she realized it was Naruto. The way his sparkling blue eyes locked with her own had her blushing.

She turned her head away, but noticed a hand near her out of the corner of her eye. Hinata's light blue pupil less eyes looked up and once again, saw Naruto smiling down at her. She took the offered hand and he helped her get own her feet again. But much to her dismay and luck, she had stumbled with a yelp, forward, right into his arms and into a hug. Poor Hinata was blushing furiously now, her face strawberry red and she could not hide it. So, to stop this nonsense, she pulled away once she forced her daydream of him to stop.

"Uh, are you hurt Hinata? Sorry I bumped into you, I was kinda thinking of something." Naruto apologized, brushing off his orange shirt and orange pants to get rid of any dirt. The long, dark-blue haired girl shook her head.

"No, I'm fine. But it was my fault since I wasn't looking where I was going," she laughed nervously, "I should pay more attention to the road to make sure I don't bump into anyone else." She started to walk off, but a hold of her forearm had her stopping and looking back.

"Wait, we just started talking. I'm kinda bored, so you wanna walk and talk? Unless you have somewhere else to go?" Nauto raised an eyebrow. Hinata considered her options for a split second, but the idea of spending more time with Naruto had all plans wiped from her mind.

"No, I'd love to spend time with you." Hinata answered as she started to come back and walk along side Naruto.

"So… it's kinda like a date, right?" Naruto asked her. She looked at him as if he was a madman, stuttering, "W-w-what? Do y-you consider it a d-d-date? I-I mean, you just said "hang o-out". I-I-I-I-I… " She blushed like crazy out of her embarrassment, her soft, creamy face turned into a tomato color. Just then the blonde-haired ninja started to snicker, then a full-grown laugh had erupted from his mouth. The locals looked at them weirdly, but once they saw Naruto they looked away with a disgusted look upon their faces. Neither of them noticed, one too embarrassed and eyes closed, and the other holding his side from the fits of laughter. Naruto finished his laughter once he couldn't breathe anymore, but still snickered.

"I was just joking Hinata, no need to get flustered. Take a joke every once and a while, it'll make you feel better." The princess of the Hyuga clan looked up at him, with her blush slowly fading away. She softly punched him in the shoulder, suddenly feeling more confidence in herself, knowing that the mood between them was light.

'I can't believe I really thought he meant a date, that could never happen. Only in my dreams about him. W-wait, I only dream of him on some occasions.'

"Don't do that, I thought… I-I-I… just don't do that again." Her blush, now entirely gone, didn't hide her feeling for him in her heart. Naruto rubbed his shoulder, pretending to be hurt.

"Some more charka control and you could be the next Sakura." They both chuckled, although Naruto was a little worried about what he said. It would be so wrong on so many levels if the sweet Hinata, eldest princess of the noble Hyuga clan, would become someone like Sakura Haruno, the younger version of the tough Hokage: Lady Tsnuade.

"So, how's your day off so far?" Hinata asked Naruto who was walking along side of her to nowhere in particular. He had his hands locked together behind his head as he answered, "Boring, the first thing I did in the morning was go to Ramen Ichiraku, after that I started thinking of what else this ninja could do. So deep in thought I didn't notice that you were coming right towards me. When I saw it was you, I thought that we could hang out, because I was so bored. And here we are now," he turned his head to see her, asking, "Now that you know about my day, how's your day off? Did you finally do something bad?" Naruto asked.

"I still didn't do anything bad. But my day is great so far. Neji and me have been getting along well, so he treated me to some ice cream this morning. He had to leave for something, so we didn't really hang out for long. Just like you, I started to wander around the village, and I was also deep in thought. The next thing I know, I'm crashing into you. Since you offered to hang out, I thought, why not since I was bored as well. So, here we are. Walking together. C-close to e-each other…" She stopped speaking, realizing that words from her mind were speaking out loud.

"Okay…" Naruto looked weirdly at her, thinking about the last part. What did she mean by "close to each other"? Eh, he'll let it slide, it probably wasn't that important to think about. "So, where do you want to go? Of course we could still walk and talk but eventually we'll reach the end of the village. Do have anything in mind?"

Hinata thought about the answers to that question. She couldn't think of anywhere to go. But maybe this was a message to her that he didn't want to walk anymore. Or maybe he was thought she was tired and wanted to rest somewhere. Or maybe he knew she was going to say she wanted to keep walking, but then offer to take her somewhere fancy. Many thoughts raced through Hinata's head, until she came up with an idea.

"We could go somewhere to train, if you want. O-or we could keep walking, if you want to do that instead." Hinata said, hoping to impress Naruto with her ninja skills. Or if he didn't want to train, they could always keep walking and talking. So, she gave him two options. But she hoped Naruto would pick the first one, or offer her somewhere else they could go.

"Sure, I was thinking about going somewhere to train today. So I'm glad you mentioned it. Are you talking about where we met up last time?" Naruto stopped walking, and unlocked his hands from behind his head so his arms lay at his sides. Hinata nodded her head, "Yeah, that's the one I was talking about,"

'I can't believed he remembered after two and a half years!'

"Okay. Race you there!" Naruto said before he started running at speeds like a roadrunner. "W-wait, you got a head start it's no fair." She took off after him, running slightly slower than he.

"I win!" Naruto yelled as he jumped into the air, fist pumped. Hinata came in moments after he had touched a wood log that was sticking out of the ground.

"You got a head start, that wasn't fair. I would've won if you hadn't took off like that." She touched another log that was sticking out if the dirt.

"You should've had fast reflexes."

"And you shouldn't have cheated."

"Wow Hinata, I never knew you would accuse me of such a thing." Naruto clutched his shirt where his heart is, pretending to be hurt. This lead Hinata to think that he really was hurt.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I didn't mean you to accuse you of such a thing. I'm really sorry." She looked down as she put her hands so the were each gripping each other's elbow, like she was hugging herself. She knew that if she got too comfortable with him, she would blow it. But to her surprise she looked up when Naruto had said,

"What are apologizing for? I'm glad you said that, it's nice to know that you can act normal around me," Naruto added a grin when he said that, "You should act like that more often. You have a nice personality, so don't hide it." The eldest princess of the Hyuga clan blushed. She felt silly for even apologizing to him, if that's what he felt of her, than she should act like this more often for him, and everyone else. Well, not everyone yet, she could never imagine herself acting like that in front of her cousin Neji.

"I'm sorry-I mean, I don't think I could ever act that way in front of anyone except you or someone else I'm close to. Especially in front of cousin Neji, he's so serious all the time. And he already thinks poorly of me. Even though we've been getting along fine, I sense he still thinks badly of me. Because of that, I don't think I'll ever be able to act normal around him for a while." She gripped her elbows tighter, she always remembered herself when she was younger, when she was still in the academy, when she was always trying to prove herself to him.

"You shouldn't let anyone stop you from being you. Especially that up tight Neji." Naruto stated proudly, head held high.

"Um, Naruto. Neji is-" she got cut off what she was saying.

"Is a prick, he can't lighten up for even a second."

"Uh, Naruto you really should-"

"And another thing, he has no right to judge other people. He can't just judge you and say, "It's your destiny to lose to me" or "It's your destiny to always have a miserable life" blah, blah, blah. If you ask me, he's just another emotionless, noble who thinks he needs to be better than everyone else."

"Is that really so?" Naruto froze at the sound of that voice. He whipped his head around to see Neji walking towards them. "Then I don't really care what you think of me. I only came here for Hinata," Neji looked behind Naruto to look into his cousin's eyes, "I was sent to come and get you. Your father is requesting for your presence. I was sent before in the morning for my part of the information, now it's your turn. It's a more… personal situation for the head family. Now if you will." Hinata understood and walked toward her cousin.

"Sorry Naruto, maybe we could hang out later." She whispered as she walked to Neji. Naruto nodded his head, as he saw them run off towards their waiting clan. Once they were out of his sight, he sighed.

"What am I going to do now? Well, I did come all the way out here to train, so I might as well do that. But I don't have a partner to train with." Out of nowhere, a bush to the right started to rumble and shake. The host of the nine-tailed fox's gaze followed the movement of the bush.

"I AM THE GREAT ROCK LEE, BETTER KNOWN AS THE HANDSOME DEVIL OF THE HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE! MY POWER OF YOUTH IS UNBEATABLE, SO BEWARE VILLIANS!" Naruto sweat dropped at that, he instantly knew who it was, even before he had announced his name.

'What the hell was Lee doing hiding in a bush all this time? He's weird on way too many levels to even comprehend.' The container of the nine-tailed fox couldn't help but think that thought.

Lee jumped out of the large green bush, one hand on his hip and a finger pointed at Naruto.

"YOU SAY YOU NEED A PARTNER?" Naruto, once again, sweat dropped at bushy-brows question. "Yeah, but I think I should-"

"NEVER FEAR, THE GREAT ROCK LEE IS HERE. NOW, TIME TO GET SPARRING TO HELP BUILD MORE POWERFUL YOUTH!" The bowl haired cut ninja said, getting into a very weird pose.

"Wait, that doesn't even make sense- ah!" Naruto started dodging sudden punches and kicks. The foxlike teenager dodged a kick that was aimed high at his head; he grabbed the ankle with both hands and did a full spin before throwing the other ninja. Lee's arm pressed its palm against the ground to stop his body, then pushed himself on the same arm to get back onto his feet. Not a split second later, Lee rushed toward Naruto, catching him off guard with his inhuman speed. He punched him in the gut, which resulted in the container of the demon fox to hunch over in pain; Lee took this chance to grab the back of Naruto's jacket and swing him over to a tree. Naruto hit the large tree painfully as he grunted, but soon enough, he turned into a puff of smoke.

'A shadow clone. I didn't even see him do it.' The bowl-haired ninja thought as he scanned the training field, looking for any sign of his opponent. His eyes trailed over and saw his opponent running up to him as he showed himself from behind a tree. Getting into another fighting pose, he failed to notice the sneaky fox behind him.

Naruto got him in a headlock; probably not the best move and was not quick enough for Lee, as he bent over slightly and kicked his leg backwards, kicking Naruto in… his manhood. The eyes of the container of the nine-tailed fox widened like dinner plates, his lips forming an O as he howled in pain. Lee once again, grabbed the back of the other ninja's jacket and tossed him over; making the two Narutos crash into each other. One disappeared in a puff of smoke, but the other started to get up from the ground. The real Naruto rubbed his head and faced toward Lee.

'Man am I glad that wasn't me behind him! Good thing I decided to attack him and not hold him down in that headlock.'

Lee was the first to strike, trying to knock some sense of youth into his head, literally. The ninja dressed in green rushed to Naruto; fist pulled back as he tried to punch his opponent in the head. The ninja dressed in orange brought his head to the side to avoid the punch; he could feel the force that was intended to hit him in the noggin. But Lee soon brought his fist up a little more and swung it horizontally, intending to hit him in the cheek, but that soon failed as Naruto ducked that one, as in the movie, Matrix. He slid on his knees and managed to get one leg out in time to lift the limb up, making it hit direct contact with Lee's butt.

The ninja dressed in green stumbled forward, but soon turned around to face his opponent. Naruto quickly got onto his feet, and whipped up three shadow clones, making Lee's fists tighten in his wacky pose. They stood far apart, the wind blowing in their hair and faces as a breeze picked up. A few seconds passed, they both waited for either to make a move. Two shadow clones ran forward, fists held back. Lee also ran forward, arms at his sides. Both punched at the same time aiming for the head, but their opponent had squatted down at the last milo-second to avoid the blow. Reeling his arms and head backwards, he made sure his palms touched the ground before he did a handstand, hitting both of the Narutos backs. They hit the ground with a puff of smoke. Lee jumped back onto his ninja sandals, but didn't find the real one in front of him as expected. He was surprised when he felt a pain from his behind.

"A thousand years of death!" Naruto screamed as he held up his index and middle finger, the fingers sticking together as he rammed them up Lee's crack. The bowl-haired ninja hopped into the air with a howl of pain and crash-landed a few feet in front of Naruto and where he was before. He lay there, rubbing his butt, trying to ease the pain away as his face was buried in the dirt.

"… Eight, nine, ten! I win!" Arms crossed together as Naruto finished counting. He only got a grunt of pain from Lee as a reply.

"GREAT JOB MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND! FOR I, MIGHT GAI, WELL KNOWN AS THE LEAF'S NOBLE GENTLEMEN, AM HERE TO CONGRAGUALTE YOU!" A tree from the left started to rumble, making some of the leaves fall to the ground as a spitting older image of Lee jumped out and landed on the hard earth, as if kneeling for a king.

"Uhhhhh…" Naruto was at a loss for words.

'Where the hell are all these weirdos coming from? Do they always do this?" Naruto couldn't help but sweat drop. 'I mean do they always wait here or something?' Gai regained his posture; he winked, putting one hand on his hip and gave a thumbs up to Naruto.

"YOU HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB SPARRING MY PUPIL! THE POWER OF YOUTH IS STRONG IN YOU MY DEAR FRIEND!" He ran over to Naruto and started to shake his hand very roughly, almost rocking the blonde's whole body. After a few seconds of greeting he shouted, "LEE, GET OVER HERE AND SHAKE THIS YOUNG MAN'S HAND." Suddenly, Lee got up, as if the "a thousand years of death" had never happened, and ran to Naruto as well.

Grabbing the other hand, Lee thanked him, "Thank you for sparring with me, Naruto. The last move was brilliant." They both stopped shaking his hands and bowed to him. This time the blonde really was at a loss for words.

"Uh… it was nothing, really guys," he laughed awkwardly while rubbing his head with his left hand, "I was looking for a person to spar with anyway." Both of them raised their heads up. Gai put a hand on his pupil's shoulder.

"OH, WILL YOU LOOK AT THE TIME. THE TIME HAS COME TO LEAVE THIS PLACE LEE!" Lee nodded his head. "RACE YOU TO THE END OF THE VILLAGE." They both got into a racing stance.

"Wha-" Naruto got cut off as they ran with inhuman speed, leaving behind dust for him to eat. Naruto coughed as the dust reached his face. 'They are most defiantly the weirdest people I ever met. But it can be a good or bad thing.' Once the dust was cleared, he walked over to one of the logs that was sticking out of the ground, he climbed to the top, and sat down on it. Swinging his legs, he thought, 'Man, everyone's leaving me. First Hinata with her stupid cousin Negi, now Lee with his mentor. I admit, Bushy-brows might be strange, no, is strange, but he's good company. And a good partner to spar against, maybe I can train with him later.'

Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts as he saw two lone figures in the distance. He blinked when they came closer and recognized that the figures were Sakura, and Kakashi. 'What are they doing here?'

He jumped off the wooden log as they stopped walking and faced him.

"What are you guys doing here? Today's a day off." Naruto asked. Sakura answered him.

"I was coming here to train, I saw Kakashi and asked him what he was doing. He said he was going to train so I asked to come along with me. When we got here, we saw that you were here as well. Does that answer your question?" Naruto nodded his head. Lucky him that his team just happened to show up to keep him company. What a strange coincidence, he asks for company and he gets some. Maybe he should ask for ramen to fall out of the sky. That would be the best day of his life.

"So, what were you doing here Naruto? By the dirt on your clothes and the small bruise on your face, it seems you've might've gotten in a fight. Or you just ran into a tree." Kakashi asked, noticing those things the moment he saw the blonde. Naruto snapped out of his fantasies about mouth-watering ramen, and locked his fingers together behind his head and leaned on the wooden log.

"Hm? Oh, I ran into Hinata in this morning. We walked and talked and I offered her to go somewhere with her, you know, because I was bored. She said she wanted to come here to train. But when we got here, her cousin said she had to go to a family meeting. Then Bushy-brows came out of nowhere," he threw his arms up in the air, "then sparred against me." His arms dropped to his sides.

"I won of course. Then his crazy mentor came out, congratulated me, and then before I know it, they're racing to the opposite side of the Leaf Village." Then both stared at him, and then Naruto and Sakura suddenly broke off laughing for some reason. The copycat ninja was lost as to why they were laughing.

'Why are they laughing? Was there a joke I didn't get? I'm not that old that I don't get children's antics, am I?'

"Okay, was there something I missed?" They both settled down, and soon their laughter turned into chuckling.

"That's the thing, you didn't miss anything," Naruto said, trying to hold back as much laughter as possible, "Sometimes you just need a good laugh once in a while because you don't know when your next one will be. And what better time to do it then with your teammates?" Now, both looking calm, stared at Kakashi.

"What?"

"Laugh, chuckle, something." They said at the same time, they looked at each, and then slowly started to back up. Kakashi laughed awkwardly.

"Sorry, not in the mood. Now are we going to train, or are we going to keep standing here and keep laugh at thin air?" Naruto nodded.

"Your right, we came here to train and that's what we're going to do. Sakura, I-I mean Kakashi, ready?" He wouldn't spar with Sakura, there's no telling how much pain that would cause him. Kakashi was a better choice to go with.

"I never said spar, but if you want to train that way, fine. Sakura get to choose who she wants to spar with next to make it fair." The pink-haired ninja smirked when he said that.

'Damn, wasn't expecting that. I hope she doesn't pick me but with the smirk she's giving me, I don't think she'll be sparring against Kakashi.'

"Okay." Sakura backed up as she saw the two ninjas get ready for the upcoming fight. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't start their battle because of a sudden explosion off into the forest. Kakashi and Sakura could see a blue explosion as if a bomb had been set off. Naruto turned around and saw this as well. The wind picked up and the ground started to rumble. They were all forced to shield their eyes as dust and dirt starting to blow in their faces. Trees started so slant from the force of the wind, everything was as if a hurricane suddenly sneaked up on them. But as soon as it begun, it had ended. When everything seemed calm, they were all left thinking,

'What the hell was that?'

That's a rap. Sorry if you thought anyone was out of character, tried my best. There will probably be no pairings, just put a little Hinata in there because I was bored. So, read and review please, this will follow the story line from here on out except for some changes thanks to Rin and Kuro. Hope you liked it, and if you didn't notice, had trouble closing this chapter. On a side note, I'm going to see the Christmas tree in the NYC, hope it's as good as they say it is.
