Nearly everyone in the Konaha village seemed to be waiting for Naruto at the gates. The small, hated child didn't ecpected wuch a warm farewell or any at all. He stood stunned in the middle of all of them as they cheered him for his win against Hiashi, and wished him luck with his journey.
"No really, I don't need all of this. Come on stop guys"
Hinabi and Neji both walked out from the crowd and stood close to Naruto. "Just because Hiashi has taken a liking to you doesn't mean i will so easeily, one day I'll bet you Naruto"
"Knock it off Neji" Hinabi elbowed him. "Unfortunately Hinata could not make it to see you off Naruto, Though she did instruct this note be given to you" She handed Naruto the note and then left into the crowd with Neji.
Naruto opened the note and read what was on it.
Naruto, Sadly I can't stand to see you off on this mission. Though I urge you not to do anything bad. There is something inside you that isn't capable of feeling the comapssion you can. I will always keep a watchfuul eye on you Naruto, I will make sure you return safely to me.
Naruto was confused at the last part of the note but took the rest to thought. He placed the note in the same pocket as the Hinata doll.
"Always watching me eh? If i didn't know any better I'd say you had a hidden camera, but that'd be stupid" Naruto said speaking to the doll.
Naruto turned and left the village, his mind set on his mission. Millions of questions flowed through his mind and turned his look near sour. Naruto was well on his way when a russling came from the bushes. Naruto quickly drew a Kunai and almost throw it inside the shrub, but he remembered the time when he asked Hinata to dual, and stopped it before he hurt someone.
"Hinata? Is that you? Come on out, quit hiding"
"It's not her idiot" A gruff voice came from the shrub, then a small white dog walked out casually. "It's Kiba"
"Kiba? Wha tare you doing here? I don't need your help on this"
"I'm not here to help. Hinata's nowhere to be found"
"Wait, what?"
"Hinata's gone missing! No one in our team can find her, Akamaru can't even pick up her scent"
"S-She's been kidnapped?!"
"No, There aren't enough facts to say that yet. But her window was open this morning, We fear the worst. Naruto, If someone did take her out of the village, Can you find her?"
"Hm-mm, Yeah, I'll do that, It's the least I owe her. You have no worries Kiba, I'll find her and protect her"
"Good to hear, Cause if our team loses one member I'll know who to look for" Kiba growled. Naruto stepped back in fear, Then Kiba laughed. "I'm joshing you man, don't be so tense, I know you can find her and keep her safe"
"Right" Naruto nodded and then turned back on his way.
Unknown to the two men Hinata was right there, Listening in on the whole conversasion. She held a bottle of clear liquid with a perfume spout on it. "Thank you mother" She held the bottle closely. A label read "Scent cover".
Naruto travelled for hours, every so often he'd stop for a small snack break and then head back on the road. The several small villages he past said that'd years ago they had seen the women he may be mentioning, She wore a deep dark blue robe that sovered her whole body and most of her face, A Hyuga Clan symbols placed on the left shoulder to hold the clock closed infront. Naruto was greatful for the information and head on his way, never aware that someone is keeping true to thier word and keeping a close eye on his moves.
It was night of the first day and Naruto settled down a camp off the road side. The fire was burning brightly and crackling with delight. Naruto stared blankly at it and mentally questioned himself.
"Why did my mother leave me? What ever happened to my dad, and why didn't she even leave me a gift? All i have is a small piece of out family emblem, and that's suppose to be enough to remember her? I wish Hinata was here, Her words have always gotten me into brighter spirits" Naruto remembered his day just before the second part of the exams, when he went to his old training grounds. Hinata was thier, looking near lovingly at the logs.
Naruto said a quick "Hi" and she jumped behind the logs and looked back at Naruto, Naruto wondered why she was there and then remonesed about his past and his memories of that place.
"Come to think of it, I was the only one there. How did she know I trained there? She was a wierd one that's for sure, She could barely raise her voice to an audible level, or even speak two whole words. But when I told her about how all the pressure was getting to me, she seemed to be alright, to a normal level. She told me how she admired me for always standing back on my feet, for being a "proud failure" she told me it was me who gave her the strength to keep fighting with her match against Neji. She seems to admire just me, Like I was a major part of her life. Something tells me, when this is all over, I'm going to need Hinata's words once again"
Naruto pulled out the doll from his pocket and looked at it.
"You've always been there for me, And I have been there for you too. Like we are a match made in heaven, Good night Hinata, I hope your safe where ever you are" Naruto curled up in his bedroll and laid down to sleep.
Minutes later Hinata emerged from the nearby bushes and set near the fire at Naruto's camp. She looked ay him with her loving eyes, not a sign of a blush on her face. She watched him as he tossed in his sleep.
"You've always been there for me" Hinata recalled his last words. "And you for me" Hinata remembered her day at his old training grounds. She was thinking of him when she was staring at the large logs. His greeting broke her out of her fantasy and had her hide scared behind the log. When Naruto started confessing his pain and pressure Hinata looked inside herslef, recalling all her pain and pressure to. Her match with Neji, her ever desire to help but lack of ability to do so efficiently. She recalls when her life changed, when Naruto graduated. It was then she forced herself to be just like Naruto, to never kneel down to someone with wicked intensions, to someone like Neji who thinks one persons will or actions can not do a thing. She was so far intranced by his leaving words, that even Kiba's arrivail went unnoticed by her.
"I'm always here when you need me Naruto" Hinata kissed his brow and smiled at him, And then took her leave. Letting the dreaming Naruto have his sleep.

Man that worked out, All i needed was one more episode to watch and i had all i needed to fill a fic, I was near tearjerked when Hinata was talking to Naruto, I was in awe of the whole scene, then when Naruto confessed to liking people "like" Hinata I almost broke out and cried, Hinata looked ever so cute in that outfit too, I may just have to make another NarutoxHinata fic with that image now in my head.
