(a/n) Thank you for the reviews, it's the only thing that keeps me going.

………………………………………………………………..

The sun beamed on Hinatas face and her heavy eyelids fluttered open. Her vision was blurry and she yawned. Clear white eyes meet deep blue. She screamed not a manly scream either.

"Bout time you woke up. This is my sleeping bag you're crashing in Believe it!!"

Hinata fainted. Two minutes later she came to it and stared up at Naruto. "Y-Y-You!"

"Hey! That's Naruto Uzumaki to you," Narutos pinkie was wedged in his ear. This freaking boy screamed like a girl. "T-This is your sleeping bag?" Hinata blushed. She was sleeping in her crushs sleeping bag.

"Yeah. And who the hell are you?" Naruto squinty eyes peered at her. He came off as being rude but Hinata blushed brighter. "I a-am Hinchi H-Hyuuga."

'Hinchi Hyuuga huh?"

"y-yes."

Hinata was melting under his intense gaze. "You're a Hyuuga? Do you know Hinata and Neji? You're kind of small. I never seen you in Konoha. Are you a chuunin?" Naruto bombarded her with questions. It took a while for Hinata to digest it all, "umm. Y-yes. Yes. And I'm a jounin."

'Haha, you stutter like Hinata," Naruto laughed. "s-sorry," Hinata groaned. "At least you're not acting like snotty Neji." Naruto whispered as if Neji was around.

"Y-you don't like Neji?"

"Nah, I like him. Its just Neji gives me a beat down sometimes."

"Why?"

"Something about talking to Hinata."

'What! Neji attacks Naruto because he talks to me!' Hinata couldn't believe it, 'wait till this war is over. Neji's going to get it.'

"So I'm S-Sasuke and y-your partner," Hinata pushed her index fingers together. 'Great! You'll be more fun than Sasuke," Naruto cheered. "We're just going to have to get you a sleeping bag because you can't have mine."

"s-sorry," Hinata stood. She hadn't seen Naruto in three months and she could see the changes. Narutos hair was a little longer causing his spikes to fall a little. He was attractive as ever, Hinata pushed back the dirty thoughts of him. He already thought 'Hinchi' acted like Hinata. It just, she didn't think she would be seeing him so soon. It made her happy though.

"Hinchi you've been paired up with the strongest in the camp," Naruto grinned. "umm, Sasuke," Hinatas eyebrow rose. Naruto almost fell at that comment, "no! Me, Naruto Uzumaki! I'm going to be hokage one day!" He boasted with his hands on his hips.

Of course Hinata knew he was talking about himself but it was funny to tease Naruto. She laughed and her stomach grumbled.

"……………"

Naruto laughed this time, "come on."

They exited the tent and Hinata covered hers eyes from the harsh sunlight. Naruto was already walking on without her. 'I need to pay more attention,' she followed. The campgrounds were empty, she must have over slept.

After a few minutes Naruto and Hinata stood in front of the biggest tent in the camp. Hinata gasped. "What?" Naruto looked back at her. Her wobbly finger pointed at the scene in front of her.

Men sat on benches slopping down food. Some had half eaten noodles hanging out of their mouth and some were eating with their hands. Others were playing chopstick war in each others food bowls. Some just came up and stole others food. It was disgusting, none of them had manners something the heiress of the Hyuuga clan was accustomed to.

"Yeah, food," Naruto pushed Hinata into the tent. They pushed through the thread of men to the food line. "The food's not that bad here," Naruto assured her. The cooks shoved bowls of noodles and chopsticks in their hands.

Hinata looked down at the half-cooked noodles drowning in brown broth. 'I-I can't eat this,' she thought. She followed Naruto to a crowded table Sasuke was sitting at. "Hey Sasuke did you meet Hinchi?" Naruto sat.

"Yeah," Sasuke answered glancing at Hinata. She sat beside Naruto staring at her noodles. Did she really have to eat this?

She looked up and saw Naruto gulping down his noodles. Maybe it wasn't bad. Hinata lifted one noodle with her chopstick and stuck in her mouth. She grimaced, it tasted like salty mush. The broth had a gritty substance flooding around. She started gagging.

"The food's not that bad Hinchi," Naruto rolled his eyes. He patted his full stomach and pushed his bowl forward. "So Hinchi, how is the village doing?"

(h)"A-All right."

(sa) "Naruto's worried about the girls."

(na)"No I'm not. They can take care of themselves."

(hi)"Everything was fine when I left."

(na)"Did a lot of girls see you off?"

(hi)"n-no."

(na)"What! When Sasuke Shikamaru and me left a lot of girls saw us off. I mean a swarm of girls! They gave us a lot of gifts."

Hinata was jealous, what girls gave her Naruto-kun presents? "But only one gift meant something to me," Naruto sighed. Hinata was pissed, what gift was he talking about? "Who was it from?"

Before he could answer a younger boy stole her breakfast. "Hey!" Hinata shouted. The boy stuck out his tongue and darted away.

"Give that back," Naruto appeared out of a puff of smoke and snatched the bowl back. There was another puff of smoke and Naruto was back at the table.

"T-Thank you Naruto."

Sasuke glared, "next time get your food back yourself."

"It was no problem Hinchi," Naruto smiled, "ignore Sasuke."

"Hinchi we're not here to baby-sit you. So don't think about relying on us."

"I won't be relying on you Sasuke," Hinata glared back. "Better not, I can't have tow weak partners," Sasuke growled and stood up. Naruto frowned, "Sasuke stop being a jerk!"

………………………………………………………….

Sasuke sat in the tall grass. Training camp was just a waste of time. Why not just send them right into battle. The food was nasty, the men were annoying and he is paired with a weakling and idiot. He just wanted to go into battle and defeat worthy shinobi.

Speaking of the weakling and idiot, they were practicing taijutsu behind him. He was mildly interested in Hinchi. More like wondering how long he would last.

Naruto grabbed hold of Hinchis arm and flipped him into the grass with ease. "Nice try Hinchi. But could you come at me a little harder. It's like you're holding back." Hinchi groaned and rose slowly. His byakagun was activated, he reached into his vest pocket and retrieved a kunai.

Naruto sighed, "no holding back okay." He grinned at the exhausted boy. "Hai!" Hinchi ran towards him and swung his kunai. Naruto planted his feet firmly to the ground. "Ready!" Naruto swung his bare palm up knocking the kunai from Hinchis hands.

He grabbed the kunai with ease and charged. Bringing the kunai up he knocked off Hinchis headband. Hinchi fell back in the tall grass.

Sasuke chuckled. "Shit I think I over did it," Naruto knelt beside Hinchi. He was still in shock and a bruise marked his forehead. "Sorry man," Naruto helped him sit up. "I-It's okay. I should have kept my guard up," Hinchi groaned.

Naruto fished into his pocket and brought out a small lavender box with a chinese print on the top. 't-that's,' Hinchis eyes widened. Naruto opened the box and picked out one of the five ointments inside. Popping open the ointment he squeezed a drop on one finger and gently rubbed it on Hinchis forehead.

"There is that better?"

"y-yes."

Naruto stuffed the box away, "a girl back home gave me those."

A trumpet blared in the distance. "Time to run," Sasuke informed them. "Let's not go. We're already the fastest people in camp. Let's train Hinchi." Naruto suggested.

"W-Won't we get in trouble," Hinchi poked her fingers together. "Nah! Kakashi doesn't really care."

………………………………………………………………………….

(later that night)

Hinatas muscles ached and her chakra was depleted. Naruto and even Sasuke trained the energy right out of her. Then they went to the mess hall for dinner without her. "I'm so tired," she rolled on Narutos sleeping bag. She didn't know how much more of their training she could take. And it had just been one day!

Along with the pain she smelt like sweaty socks. Hinata dug into her traveling bag and got a soap and towel. Then she snuck out her tent to the lake. No one was around, everyone was chowing down slimly noodles. Wasting no time Hinata activated her byakagun and started stripping off all her clothes.

She sank into the cold murky water, her toes smushed the sandy earth. Lathering herself quickly she splashed over her. Using a fire jutsu she heated the icy cold water and went under the warm water.

When she came back up she thought she heard something but it was just an owl. After being startled she hurried and dressed so she could beat Naruto and Sasuke back to the tent.

…………………………………………………….

Sasuke was the first back to his tent. "where's Hinchi?" He was going to bed but now he was curious as where Hinchi had went. Something wasn't right about that Hyuuga. He couldn't put his finger on it but he'd find out.

He searched around the camp till he got to the lake. He could hear a woman humming but was that even possible. Sasuke flew into a tree making sure not to frighten the owl beside him.

Then he saw her. She was rinsing the lather off her nude body. Her ink blue hair was in a braided bun on the top of her head. Suddenly she used some kind of fire jutsu to heat the water and she dove all the way under the steamy water.

He was mesmerized, sasuke wasn't one for peeping but he couldn't help it. He was in a camp full of men after all. He could see the water drip down her neck then between her full chest. The stupid owl next to him hooted and the girl looked his way. Sasuke decided to flee before the girl noticed him.

He still couldn't believe it. A woman but who?

……………………………………………………………………

"Hinchi I brought you some food back!" Naruto busted into the tent. He dropped the bag of fruit and dried meat onto Hinatas lap. "Thanks Naruto."

"It was nothing," he unzipped his vest and tossed it on the ground. Hinata watched him snuggled into his sleeping bag. She was sitting on the cold ground. "Damn I forgot you still don't have a sleeping bag," Naruto eyed Sasukes empty bag. "You could take Sasukes. He's not back yet….."

"B-But I couldn't."

"Yeah you're right. He'd throw a tantrum."

He rubbed his chin then sighed. "You can share with me." Hinatas eyes got as big as saucers, "Wh-what?" Naruto patted the space beside him, "I'm not homo or anything like that."

'sleeping with Naruto,' she scooted closer to his bag blushing. "Geesh. I'm not going to bite, "he laid down on his right side. Hinata poked her fingers together then slipped into the sleeping bag. She laid on her left side so their backs where to each other.

"Umm. N-naruto the ointment that girl gave you. Was that the only gift that meant something to you?"

"ummm." Naruto grunted. "Yeah but the girl's just a friend."

"Oh so you don't have any feelings for her?"

"Well….nope we're just friends."

Hinata was glad he couldn't see her face. Just friends?! Was he not aware of her feelings, would he ever notice her?

…………………………………………………………….

A wide smile spread on Narutos face and his arms wrapped around his pillow. "Fine. Fine you can touch me there." He snuggled into the pillow. "N-N-Naruto." His eyes cracked open. "GAHHHH!!!!" Naruto released Hinchi and rolled out his sleeping bag.

"I forgot about you," he hissed. "I see that," Hinchi started dressing. "I said I'm not homo," Naruto started changing too.

"I d-didn't say you were."

"You're over there changing like you're hiding something. Believe it!"

Hinchi was in the process of pulling a clean shirt under his nightshirt. Naruto rolled his eyes. They were all guys afterall, just change and don't be such a drama queen. "Hinchi hand me my shirt," Naruto was lacing up his boots.

"H-Here," hinchi tossed him a shirt. "Are you okay? You're red," Naruto slipped the shirt over his bare chest.

"I'm fine."

Sasuke walked into the tent. "Everyone's suppose to report to the center of the camp right away."

"sasuke where were you last night?" Naruto nudged his friend. Sasuke glanced at Hinchi the back at Naruto, "I came back a little late. You guys were already asleep."

"I wish we could go kick some Kaminari Tsuchi ass already," Naruto walked ahead of Sasuke and Hinchi. "After this month we should be going off to battle." Sasuke stated. Before long they reached the center of the camp. "Move it! Move it! Get out my way!" Naruto forced his way to the front of the crowd. In the process of doing this Naruto had to throw some guys around.

"Looks like everyone's here," Hugo scanned the crowd. "You can begin Kakashi-chan!"

"I told you not to call me that!" Several kunai narrowly missed Hugos nose.

"Stop being so dramatic Kakashi…chan."

That was it, Kakashi reached his breaking point with this guy. The crowd of snickering chunin and jounin turned their heads so they wouldn't have to witness anymore of the brutal beating.

Kakashi dust his hands off, "okay. Now that he's quite. You are here for a intense challenge that will test your endurance and jutsu knowledge." Hugo smiled, doing a series of hand signs. The ground shook and the earth infront of him sunk in.

"Our enemy Kaminari Tsuchi is skilled in earth and lightening jutsu. It only makes sense for our army to brush up on those types of jutsus or to strengthen other jutsu. Today you will try to pass that," Kakashi nodded at Hugo.

"Earth style jutsu: Rock wall jutsu!" Hugo slapped his hand on the ground. Encircling the commander a massive rock wall formed. "Try to get to Hugo. It won't be easy though. Go on all of you," Kakashi pulled out his novel and moved out of the mens way.

"This is going to be a piece of cake," Naruto ran towards the wall. Sasuke and Hinata stayed behind. This was more than a mere wall.

As thousands of men approached the large wall the earth rumbled and the wall sent waves of mud at them. "What the-" Naruto started running back before the mudslide engulfed him.

"N-Naruto," Hinata squeaked. Sasuke grabbed the back of her vest before the wave swallowed them. "Fine, then I'll get in from the air," Naruto started towards the top of the wall. Just as he was soaring to the top he was hit by lightening. "What the-"

"Naruto!" Hinata jumped towards his falling body. There wasn't a cloud in sight. 'lightening jutsu,' Sasuke glanced at Kakashi who was sitting in a nearby tree. He looked up from his book and waved.

"Got you," Hinata caught Naruto. His face looked charred and his clothes smelt burnt. They hit the ground and Naruto started coughing up smoke. "Lightening jutsu, sneaky.." The earth started rumbling under them. Hinatas white eyes widened, the wall was sending another land wave. Mens arms and legs stuck out the moving land.

"Great. My hair's fried," Naruto had a blond afro. "Gah! Hold on," he did hand signs. The wave was about to hit them when a gust of wind surrounded them. The dirt sprayed in the opposite directions.

Hinata peeked between her fingers and gasped. Beside her, Naruto and Sasuke everyone was out cold. ""Hat was close," Naruto groaned.

"That's it. What a disappointment," Hugo undid his jutsu. "Well for those who are still conscious. We'll give this another try tomorrow," Kakashi started walking off. "Hey wait up! Who's carrying all these bodies to the infirmary!" Hugo motioned toward the groaning bodies.

"Man," Naruto slammed his fist in his hand. "We need a strategy," Sasuke mumbled. Naruto grabbed at his still burning hair, "I'm not good at strategies!"

"Well I am."

The boys and Hinata turned to see Shikamaru dragging Choujis unconscious body. Looked like they had hit by the land wave. 'Shikamaru my lazy friend. What have you got?" Shikamaru ignored Naruto, "I got to bring Chouji to the infirmary. What a drag, this is like carrying a sack of boulders."

"Come on! You have to have some plan."

"Later Naruto," Shikamaru mushed pass the hyper blond.

"Shikamaru!!"

'Fine, man you're annoying. We go through the wall."

"Through the wall," Hinata repeated.

"Yeah through the wall. That way you avoid the lightening. Now I got to go."

"Through the wall huh," Naruto rubbed his hands together. Hinata pondered, "I'm not sure that will work.."

"What are you crazy!! Shikamaru is a genius he knows what he's talking about."

"But Naruto.."

"It's worth a try," Sasuke walked off.

"But Sasuke…"

"Hinchi stop worrying. We got this." Naruto grinned.

The mess hall was quieter that usual due to everyone being sent to the infirmary. After eating another unappetizing dinner Hinata found a way to ditch Naruto and Sasuke and make her way to the lake. Just when she was about to shed her clothes Hugo jumped out of the water.

"EKKK!!" Hinata covered her virgin eyes. "What?" Hugo wiped his soaked green hair out of his eyes. He seemed oblivious to the fact that he was flashing "Hinchi". From what Hinata was seeing Hugo was definitely the full package. Body like a god.

"Commander Hugo what are you doing here," despite her embarrassment Hinata managed to salute the nude commander. Hugo chuckled, "bathing, what's it look like."

"Umm," she adverted her gaze. "Hinchi Hyuuga right?"

"Y-yes.'

"Are you going to join me?"

Her eyes grew as big as tennis balls, she looked like a deer caught in headlights. Her mouth kept opening and closing.

"Well," Hugo smirked. "N-No. Umm, I was going on a night run," she lied.

"Oh really, then way did you bring a towel?"

"Umm, I sweat," she babbled. "Don't be shy," Hugo walked slowly towards the shore. Hinata couldn't run, her feet felt like lead. His nakedness was hypnotizing her. Blush painted her cheeks, 'don't' faint! Don't faint! I got to get out of here!'

Hugo snatched her towel out of her trembling hands and wrapped it around his waist. His bright cerulean eyes peered into her white eyes. "hinchi you're such a weird boy. And trust me, there's a lot of weird boys in this camp. Like bug boy, or dog boy. Or fat boy who never stops eating.."

"Sorry I'm a weirdo sir."

"You're cute too," Hugos hand brushed her cheek. Hinatas brain kicked into overdrive and she slipped away. Hugo just smiled. He watched Hinchi run off and was pleased with himself. There was a puff of smoke and Kakashi appeared on a boulder on the outer banks of the lake.

"Kakashi-Chan! Are you here to bathe too?" Hugo waved. "Gah! You're here," Kakashi groaned.

"I'll scrub your back for you."

"No thanks," there was another puff of smoke and Kakashi was gone.

…………………………………………….

Hinata ran like the Kaminari Tsuchi ninjas were chasing her. Drifting through the trees she kept glancing behind her. Was Commander Hugo making a move on her? More like making a move on Hinchi.

Hinata ran head into someone and she was sent to the ground. The person didn't fall but growled. "S-Sorry," she rubbed her swore butt and looked up. "S-Sasuke what are you doing out here?"

"Walking."

"oh. That makes sense. I guess I'll see you back at the tent." She waved and ran off.

Sasuke shrugged and headed towards the lake. He knew what he was wrong but he had to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him. Was there really a woman at the lake that night? He was just investigating, nothing was wrong with that.

When he got to the lake no one was there. He felt a pang of disappointment. Okay, maybe he wasn't really investigating and he just wanted another peek. The woman was lucky he saw her and not anyone else. He sighing he crept back to his tent.

……………………………………………………………..
