The Next Day
The sun rose and shown through window and onto Naruto's eyes.
Naruto turned to face his clock noticing it said 10:38 a.m. Naruto quickly sat up and paniced at the time.
"I gotta be traing right now!" Naruto quickly got up and did his morning routine and ran out the door.
10 seconds later
"Finally got here...huff huff... kage bushin no jutsu." With that being said he made twenty clones and tried to come up with new moves and ways to get rid of his doppelganger in the upcoming battle. While in the shadowsthe doppelganger awaits for the battle as he watched Naruto training
"Just you wait Naruto I'll kill you and take over your body, your life, and whatever else belonged to you... Soon I'll no longer need to hide in the shadows."
It was lunch time and Naruto decided that he would eat at his apartment and eat today and as he walked he was thinking about Hinata. What am I going to do? How am I going to tell Hinata? And most of all am I strong enough to beat him?" Naruto then turned into an alley to get to his place quicker. Then he bumped into a girl. "Oh, I'm sorry miss I wasn't watching where I was going." The girl looked up at Naruto and took Naruto's hand and pulled herself up. Then Naruto had noticed who it was.
"Naruto-kun?" said the girl with with a sweet angelic voice, while blushing.
"H-Hinata-chan?"
"W-when did you g-get back?"
"Last n-night, Hinata-chan."
"Are you okay."
"I'm alright, but the real question is are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah."
"Are you sure? It looked like you fell pretty hard."
"Yeah I'm sure...Naruto-kun."
"Hm?"
"I...I..." Hinata then looked at his hand and noticed how baldy it looked, "I was w-wondering where did you do this m-morning and w-why are your hands so b-bloody?"
Naruto looked at his hands and then looked back at Hinata, "I was just training for an upcoming mission."
"Oh? W-What do you have to do?"
"I'm not going to worry you so I won't tell you."
"I-I see"
"Hinata-chan."
"Huh?"
"Would you like to join me for some ramen at my place?"
"Y-Yeah."
"Alright." Then they walked towards Naruto's place and he cooked up some ramen for the two of them. The two engaged in a really nice conversation and got to know each other better. Hinata then noticed the sadness in his eyes.
"W-What's wrong, Naruto-kun."
"Hm? Oh, it's nothing."
"Naruto-kun, p-please don't lie to m-me."
"I don't want to worry you."
"Pleeeeease." Hinata then gave Naruto the puppy dog pout.
"GYAH! Not the puppy dog pout, anything but that!" Hinata widened her eyes, made her lower lip quiver, folded her hands and placed them under her chin, and leaned in closer to Naruto. This continued for another two minutes until Naruto finally gave in. "Alright! Alright. I'll tell you. Just, please, stop that." Hinata gave a squeal and giggled. "Sigh. There's this guy and he challenged me to a fight to the death... I'm not sure I can beat him, but I have to try."
"P-Please allow me to help you, Naruto-kun."
"I can't, otherwise you'll die. I can't let that happen."
"Why?"
" How bout you wait for six more days." Hinata just groaned and Naruto couldn't help but to laugh.
"Hinata-chan...Would you like to spend that day with m-me?" hinata nodded happily. "Would you mine helping me with my training?"
"S-Sure."
After that Naruto and Hinata went to the training field. They trained until the sun came down.
Naruto then walked Hinata home, and he was really glad when he learned some new moves.
"Naruto-kun."
"Huh?"
"Don't you ever get l-lonely when you're alone?"
"Yeah, but I don't want it to be like what it used to be."
"What fo you m-mean?"
"Well before i met you and my other friends I had no one to turn to...Well...except Iruka sensei."
"D-Didn't you have any parents?"
No...I don't know what happened to them."
"Sorry."
"It's okay. Look like we're here."
"Thanks for walking me home."Hinata gathered enough courage and kissed Naruto on the cheek
and ran towards the door. Naruto put his hand on the cheek that Hinata kissed and he blushed. As Naruto turned he was stopped by his doppelganger.
"Oohhhh. How kawaii. Look like you have crush."
Naruto jumped back, "What are you doing here?"
"Well hello to you, too. I noticed that kawaii girl and just thought, hey, how bout I kill something you love?"
"Go near her and I'll..."
"You'll what?!"
"Grrrr."
"That's what I thought."
"..."
"Let's make a deal, you don't go near anyone you love until the day of the showdown and I won't
kill them."
"Grr. Very well, but first tell me your name."
"Okay. My name is Dantensh Makai."He then disappeared in a cloud of leaves.
"I won't allow anyone to die...I think I should go somewhere where no one can find me...That's it!"
Just like that Naruto then disappeared in a cloud of leaves.
