Blood doesn't stain the floors of Naruto's lab no matter how much or how think. Naruto had just finished his tests on the young man that was currently strapped to the table, and as far as Naruto could tell the man had not realized that his entire left hand had been hacked off by the blow of the kukri knife. The blond scientist frowned, his experiment had been a failure he had upped the dosage three times and still had not killed the man, but he created a very functional quick acting painkiller. After Naruto's encounter with the Rock ninja he was trying to duplicate the poison he used on the two rock ninja after all it was very useful, and he doubted Kabuto would just hand over the recipe. Even if he did it more than likely would come at a cost he did not wish to pay so instead he was left to his own devices, but the blunder he had committed had led to the discovery of a very potent painkiller, which could be useful, but was not what he was looking for.

"Damnit" Naruto cursed to nobody in particular as he brought his blade down on the test subject once again this time slicing the man's throat. Naruto then in his rage at the constant failures that had befallen him in the lab lately, as he was no closer to the gene splicing research than he was months ago he also was failing to duplicate the poison Kabuto had given him as a sign of good faith before he left for his last mission, Naruto lashed out hacking into the corpse over and over and over again while occasionally spouting out curses leaving the man's corpse a bloodied mess before he stopped his wild hacking and just stared at the corpse. A clink was heard shortly after and it barely registered in Naruto's head that he had dropped his kukri knife to the floor. He needed to get himself under control, so he closed his eyes and focused on his breathing soon the tremble in his hands from his range came under his control. He kept his eyes closed, his breathing steady and quickly became aware of a presence running quickly down the hallway leading to his lab.

Naruto quickly retrieved his knife and made the Ram hand sign.

Hiding in Surface Technique

Naruto sunk into the surface of the wall near the entrance to his lab that was cloaked in shadows and waited for the situation to develop. It didn't take long for the hidden entrance to ship and begin to slide away revealing Kabuto standing in the entryway breathing heavily. Naruto waited another second to ensure that it really was Kabuto before he melded out of the wall and called out to him.

"Kabuto what's going on?" Naruto asked calmly but was worried, something had the spy spooked and he was nearly on Naruto's own level in terms of strength.

"The ANBU have been tracking the disappearances of the citizens that you have been taking to experiment on they are systematically searching the tunnels to find them." Kabuto informed the young researcher.

"The lab is well hidden, they shouldn't find it there have been patrols in these sewers before they have never found it." Naruto informed Kabuto.

"That may be, but they never were actively searching for a lab or the area you use to dump the bodies."

"Kabuto what do you want me to do?"

"Grab your research and let's go, Lord Orochimaru has plans for you, you cannot be captured or killed now."

"Kabuto this lab is safe we will be fine in here I can't just leave the lab."

"You don't get it Naruto, the ANBU are being lead by Itachi Uchiha!"

Naruto froze at that, a normal squad of ANBU would most likely not find the well-hidden lab, and even if a normal ANBU squad did he would more than likely be able to use genjutsu to stop and send the ANBU away, but Itachi Uchiha was different. Naruto leapt into action quickly gathering up all the notebooks he could get his hands on.

"Kabuto grab those cans of oil and dump them everywhere. We need to destroy the lab."

Kabuto did as Naruto asked quickly while shuffling some of Naruto and Orochimaru's notes into his pack.

The partners in crime worked quickly, soon all the note books had been gathered and the place was covered with lantern oil. Naruto turned and struck a flint and steel together a few times, he could have set the place ablaze with a jutsu but with someone like Itachi close by he had no desire to draw any additional attention to himself or his location, but the lab needed to burn if there was any evidence that Itachi could use to link the lab to himself then the fire would wash it all away. After Naruto set the lab on fire he moved out of the area and closed the hidden door in an attempt to contain the fire and to conceal its location on the off chance he may be able to salvage it one day.

He wasted no time morning the loss of his lab, instead the young shinobi left quickly running along the water in the direction Kabuto had turned to flee. Naruto figured that since Kabuto had come ahead of the ANBU he knew the direction in which they were coming and would therefore avoid them. It was a risk, but a calculated risk and one Naruto was willing to take, Kabuto had no reason to betray him at this time Orochimaru still wanted to meet him after all.

The two genin moved far more quickly and gracefully atop the water and along the side of the wall through the sewer and quickly made their way onto the street above entering into an abandoned building. It appeared to be clear but Naruto took no chances he quickly made the Ram seal and sunk into the floor of the building and then proceeded to make his way out and back toward his apartment.

Kurenai

Kurenai awoke with a sudden stir, something felt off to her. She looked out the window and noticed it was still pitch black out, but something was eating at her and she couldn't tell what it was. The red eyed jonin shook her head and slide out of bed and went to the restroom, afterwards she came back to her bedroom and lit the candle sitting on her nightstand and settled back into bed pulling the blankets up around her and picking up a worn paperback book that was bookmarked about halfway through the story. She opened to her last page and began reading it again all the while shifting in bed to get comfortable.

Her talk with the Hokage was worrisome, Naruto apparently had a very rough childhood, and she had even seen the apartment in which he lived in while he was out, it was very simplistic, just a bed, a bathroom a wide open floor and drawers full of nutrition bars. No refrigerator, no furniture, no stove, or table or anything. There was a well behind the building he must have used for water, but beyond that nothing. She wondered if the boy had ever had a proper meal or if he just lived off the bars and water. She felt for the boy and wished he had a better upraising. It explained a lot about him though, perhaps she could hold a dinner party for her team and try to get Naruto to open up. In fact it was a perfect idea she could have the whole team over and discuss the chunin exam. Hinata probably wasn't ready mentally for the exam, but Naruto certainly was and Kiba more than likely would perform well and between the two of them she was sure they could give her surrogate little sister the confidence she needed.

Kurenai laid back against the head board of her queen sized bed and wondered what she should cook, and what kind of dress code she should have for her dinner party, should she invite additional teams, just friends of hers, other jonin? She shook her head, if she was trying to get Naruto to open up she should keep things simple and familiar. She shifted slightly while straightening her nightgown and closed her book and leaned back against the pillows of her bed and made up her mind about the guest list and now was pondering what she should cook, and how best to talk about the exams with her students. She figured with Kiba being dense, and Naruto and Hinata were socially awkward that a direct approach would be best. The jonin made up her mind tomorrow she would inform her team and they would meet at her home tomorrow evening to discuss the chunin exam and to have dinner as a team. With her new approach to her team in her mind she slouched down onto the bed and let herself drift back to sleep.

With Naruto

The two boys came into Naruto's living room silently through the window and closed it behind them. They had just traveled across the village in near darkness to arrive at Naruto's home, which was the closest of the two genin's homes, and to safety.

"Are we safe here?" Kabuto asked quietly as though too much sound would bring the entire ANBU black ops atop them.

"As safe as we are anywhere else, we are on the other side of the village we should be good they will most likely suspect someone that lives in that region to be responsible for the kidnappings." Naruto answered quietly while he pulled the curtain of his lone window closed and went about lighting some candles.

"You need some furniture" Kabuto said as he looked around at the modest home and the distinct lack of anything but a bed.

"Why I live alone and I have a bed what else do I need?" Naruto inquired almost rhetorically.

"Never mind Naruto you have everything you need." Kabuto responded flatly.

"You can stay here tonight if you need to, I think I have a spare blanket underneath the bed give me a second." Naruto said as he moved to get the blanket.

"It's okay Naruto I can get back to my home unnoticed, we should take a break from our covert meetings for a while until you meet with Lord Orochimaru, until then keep your nose clean and be safe." Kabuto said as he pulled one of the spare cloaks from Naruto's coat hook and draped himself in it before he silently left the room, had Naruto not been watching him he never would have known he had left.

Naruto sighed to himself and settled atop his bed and tucked his pack filled with his research notes underneath his bed. It had been a rough night and he had to leave his lab, his place of knowledge and learning the one place he felt truly himself was gone.

Naruto shook his head. "Ohh well onto the next thing."

With that Naruto settled down into bed, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The Next Morning

Naruto had moved quickly to the training area team eight was currently using. The young man had elected to hop through the roofs, tree tops, and generally just taking the long way around so that he wouldn't have to walk through the village square and discover if the ANBU chief's raid had been successful. He was stalling, but he had no desire to deal with it at this moment he would put it off as long as possible.

Naruto landed atop a tree near the training ground and he then sat down on a branch and observed the training ground. Kurenai was there alone at the moment she had a large envelope in her hand and she was sitting down atop a log in the center of the field. He had no desire to spend time alone with the team eight leader, she was smarter than she looked, and far too self-righteous for his taste. So he settled atop the tree and waited. Soon the boy found himself closing his eyes to meditate, and it wasn't long before his true sensei called to him for a chat.

With Kurenai

Kurenai shifted slightly on the log she was sitting on, it was becoming uncomfortable waiting for her team to show up as they normally weren't late, and while they still weren't late they normally were quite early, especially Naruto he was always early but she was patient she could wait.

She looked over the envelope in her hand for a third time making sure everything was correct and all the required forms and documents were filled out. She had three chunin exam forms and the jonin consent form all filled out along with three papers that had three different training regiments for each of her genin so they would be better prepared for the exam. It wasn't long after the final check of her forms that Kiba came over the hill side rubbing his eyes, and carrying his dog.

Naruto

Naruto was pushed out of his mindscape and nearly feel from the tree he was sitting on, but his good balance and quick reflexes saved him, although Naruto could feel a slight headache forming between his eyebrows from the mental strain of a forced conversation with his sensei.

The young shinobi smoothly slide off the tree branch and onto the warm Earth. The Leaf Village; being in the land of fire was constantly warm. Naruto looked around quickly observing everything he could on pure instinct to ensure there was no danger, or something he may have missed. He spotted Hinata walking through the forested area of the training field while trying to head to the meeting place. Naruto's sensei did tell him he needed to get close with key people in the village if they were to bring about its downfall, and the downfall of the Leaf was something Naruto wanted ever since he learned what the village had done to his sensei was beyond his forgiveness, Hinata being the heir to the Hyuga clan, the second most powerful clan in the Leaf besides the Uchiha, she was in a prime position to bring about exactly what Naruto wished and all he had to do was bend the girl to his will. She was weakly willed so he figured it would be very easy to bend her to his will, so Naruto approached her.

Naruto moved behind her perfectly silent, not a crunch of rocks nor the snap of a fallen tree branch would make a sound and give away the young man's position. He took a brief moment to check the girl out, what she lacked in confidence she more than made up for in generous curves and silky midnight blue hair, and while she wasn't nearly as attractive as Kurenai was she still was decently attractive, and while Naruto held nothing but contempt for the weak little girl he still found her body promising of at least some fun. It wasn't Naruto's goal to date the girl though, he just needed the girl to help bring down the Leaf she was useless to him except for her name and position.

"Good morning Hinata, how are you doing after the last mission?" Naruto casually asked Hinata as he seemed to materialize next to the Hyuga genin causing the young girl to jump slightly.

"Ohh . . . Narut . . . Naruto. . . . I'm okay . . . just . . . the . . . . the . . . the last mission ." Hinata sputtered out quickly to her teammate.

"I know I was brutal Hinata but it came out of concern for you, they planned on killing you I had to stop them." Naruto said to Hinata softly trying as hard as he could to make himself sound sincere.

Apparently Hinata bought it because she suddenly blushed a bright red and found the ground to be very interesting, and in the next few moments the two broke the tree line and were noticed by the remaining team members. Kurenai was the first to notice her two students and did a double take, because not only was Naruto walking with his teammate, he also apparently did something to make the girl blush, not that it was hard to do, but the interaction brought a small smile to her face as she saw Naruto finally opening up and becoming part of the team.

It didn't take long for the two to reach Kiba and herself and as they did they fell silent. She looked her team over and she nervously fiddled with the envelope in her hand. She had never been a jonin sensei before, nor had she nominated a team for the chunin exam and most one year genin teams didn't get nominated or wouldn't made the cut. She was taking a big leap of faith with her team but she had a gut feeling they wouldn't let her down.

"Good morning team, as you all may or may not know the chunin exams are quickly approaching, and I have decided to nominate the three of you to partake." Kurenai informed her team.

"OH does that mean that we will gain a new rank if we pass? How does it work?" Kiba asked eagerly the doglike boy leaning forward anxious for the answer.

"That is another matter I wish to talk to you three about, I am going to give you today off, but tonight at eight o'clock you are each to report to my home we will be having a team meal and discussing the exam attendance is a must."

Kurenai took a small breath and noticed she still had the complete attention of her team so she slide the papers out of the envelope she carried and started to pass them out. "These are the petition forms requesting to take place in the chunin exams and the other paper is the jonin teacher sign off signally that I have state you are each ready to take the exam, look over the papers and meet me at my home tonight, and wear something nice. Have a good day." As Kurenai finished passing out the papers she then turned and leapt away.

The three genin of team eight were left alone in the field, but it wasn't long before Kiba began to talk. "So what do you guys think, do we want to be in the chunin exams?"

Hinata was the first to respond stuttering all the way through "I . . . I . . don't . . . kno . . . know . . Kiba . we haven't . . been genins very long."

"But we are strong we can make it through as a team." Kiba announced confidently.

"We should each withhold any snap judgements we may make and look over the release forms and applications we were each given once we are better informed we can make a better choice about what we each think of the exam and if we wish to partake, but we should reserve final judgement until we hear what jonin Yuhi has to say in regards to our taking the exam." Said Naruto as he took on a leadership role within his team.

"I . . I . . . I think. . . . you . . . ar . . are . . . right . . Naruto." Hinata sputtered out.

Soon group eight gathered around one another and Kiba and Naruto took turns reading the release form and the petition form aloud to the group and tried to gain a better understanding of just what was involved.

With Kurenai

Kurenai was currently in the market getting food and making preparations for the team dinner she planned on hosting later tonight. She had just picked out what she planned to cook for the night before a new stand caught her eye and letting curiosity get the better of her she picked it up and read it over. The news was disturbing apparently over the last four years a sum of thirty five people were kidnaped and then kill, the preliminary autopsy reports seemed to indicated that they had been experimented on before they were dumped in the sewer and it was finally discovered last night. That was disturbing news the fact that someone in a highly militarized village, let alone a village with Hizuren Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha, who were two of the greatest shinobis in the world, was able to kidnap thirty five people over the course of four years and not be noticed until today and was still able to avoid justice was scary. She knew even with all her talents as a shinobi she couldn't pull it off, and she doubted even some of the better jonin such as Kakashi Hatake could have done it for so long without being unnoticed. Someone scary was out there in her village.

She shook of the wicked thoughts and finished picking out the food for tonight she obtained rice, some fish and kale, a nice and healthy meal with pretty bland foods that should be the easiest to consume. Tonight if her instincts were correct would be Naruto's first cooked meal in a very long time and she hoped that the food and companionship could be enough to bring him around.

With Naruto

Naruto had spent hours with his team trying to get them to understand what the petition forms had said and as a consequence it consumed much more of his 'free' day than he would have liked. That wasn't all of Naruto's problems as he noted, because after he began walking back once he got onto the streets of the Leaf village he felt eyes on him and someone was even following him. They could be a newly minted ANBU or someone that underestimated him, but they weren't demonstrating the skill to conceal themselves from him. Not that it mattered much if he did anything about it then it could reveal his true skill and that would be just as bad. Sometimes secrecy was a double edged sword.

Naruto took a deep breath.

He knew that he couldn't do anything until he revealed who was following him, and if it wasn't an ANBU he needed to try to question the person. So Naruto began weaving as quickly as he dared toward his home where he could shut himself in clone himself and then used the clone to lure out the person following him. It didn't take the young shinobi long before he reached his home, once inside he brought his fingers up in a crossed seal and made a single shadow clone of himself. He then had the clone open the window's curtain and leave the door open trying to give the appearance he was trying to cool his apartment by allowing airflow through it during a hot day. Naruto then proceeded to slip out using his hiding in surface jutsu and made his way to a nearby area. A few minutes later Naruto spotted the man following him, and he wasn't an ANUB. The man had a forehead protected tied to conceal his hair, a pair of very dark glasses obscured his eyes along with a mask that feel to his face, outside of that he wore an outfit that was eerily similar to the one Naruto had often seen Kabuto wearing. Naruto decided to take a gamble and approach the man as it did not seem he was on official business. Nothing gave Naruto's approach away as he appeared behind the man.

"You're Kabuto's teammate aren't you?" Naruto called out to the man who for his part seemed to keep his composure other than a small jump that was made at Naruto's sudden appearance.

"Correct, I am Yoroi, Kabuto sent me to give you a message and to inform you about the Chunin exams." The man called Yoroi informed Naruto.

"What is the information?" Naruto asked.

"He said that our Lord would meet you during the second portion of the exam, and that in order to partake in the exam your entire team must participate, you also need to know not to contact any of us during the exam other than in the second portion." Yoroi said as he looked nervously about.

"Settle down were alone, now tell me where will I be meeting your lord at during the second exam?"

"Don't worry he will find you."

"Anything else?" Naruto asked.

With that Yoroi reached behind himself and withdrew a long cloak from his backpack. "Yes Kabuto said to return this to you and he appreciates the loan." Yoroi said as he handed Naruto his cloak back and then leapt away.

Naruto for his part took the cloak and draped it over his arms and then he quickly made his way back to his home and dispelled his clone. He hung the cloak back on the hook by his doorway after he took a quick moment to inspect it and ensure that it had not been tampered with.

He had more pressing matters, the upcoming exam, Naruto doubted that Hinata was going to partake the girl seemed frightened at the prospect as it was and she was critical, if she didn't participate then team eight couldn't, and that would mean his meeting with Orochimaru wouldn't happen. While as smart as Naruto may have been he did realize that he needed Orochimaru's help to finish his gene splicing research especially now that his lab had been discovered. If the snake Sannin's notes were true than he had already successfully implanted the gene that would give the user the wood release abilities into a human test subject that survived. That was something Naruto was quite interested in.

The pseudo genin moved to his closet and opened it up and noted that all he had were variations of the same outfit, some tight fitting black long sleeve shirts and grey pants, and some loose fitting black long sleeve shirts and gray pants along with three pairs of heavy duty leather combat gloves and one pair of very thin black gloves. Along with rows of shinobi sandals. He had nothing for a dinner party which was one problem he needed to solve so he picked up his wallet and left his apartment and entered onto the busy streets of the Leaf village.

Kurenai's Home: Hours later

Naruto tentatively knocked on the door of Kurenai's home. His jonin leader, who he refused to call his sensei since she had never taught him anything, answered the door quickly after the knock and Naruto found her outfit and boy to be interesting. She had on a red knee length form fitting sleeveless dress with a jeweled shoulder clasps and had her hair had been neatly done into waterfall curls. Naruto found the dress she was wearing and more specifically the curves beneath it appealing as he reached outward and handed her a bottle that was wrapped in some cloth.

"Greetings Jonin Yuhi and thank you for the invitation this is a bottle of sake for you." Naruto said as he strained to remember exactly what Madara sensei had taught him about the proper edict for a dinner party, and thankfully he remembered to consult him again before he left his own apartment, his sensei had thankfully reminded him that it was rude to show up empty handed.

Kurenai smiled a dazzling smile as she took in the blue silk hakama that her student was wearing, and noticed it really brought out his eyes and the fine delicate features of his face, and she noted without his headband and combat gear he looked more like a young nobleman than a trained killer. It was a look she expected from people that may have come from the Hyuga or Uchiha clan as they were descendants of noble families, but it was unexpected from her orphaned student, she pondered briefly perhaps he was the descendant of a noble family.

"Thank you, that was very thoughtful of you, come on in dinner won't be ready for another few minutes so you can just make yourself comfortable." Kurenai spoke as she stepped aside, and coyly took another peak at Naruto's exquisite looks as she allowed the young man entrance to her home.

Naruto noted as he entered her home that he was the second to arrive, and that sitting on the couch was the girl that had been the cause of most of his concerns of the day. Hinata Hyuga was wearing a pure white traditional Kimono that accented her pale byakugan eyes and contrasted nicely with her midnight blue hair. She looked like she belonged in a court of nobles and not in the ninja world.

Naruto gave a brief bow to his host as she quickly moved back into the kitchen, the aromas that came to Naruto's nose was something different to the young man. He had often walked by and smelled the food of many restaurants in the village, but he had never actually went in and tasted any of the foods, for the majority of his young life he had sustained himself on nothing but nutrition bars. The prospect of actually eating some of the food he had spent his life smelling and never tasting worried him. He didn't want to offend his jonin leader by refusing the food but he worried he wouldn't like the way it tasted and therefore would opt to just go home and get more nutrition bars.

He was pulled from his thoughts as Hinata approached him and acting in a very out of character manner spoke to him. "Hello Naruto . . . you . . . you look . . nice"

Naruto looked the girl over and noticed the blush that came rushing to her face and smiled a slight smile at her. "You look lovely Hinata, like the princess of the Hyuga clan."

The complement caused Hinata to blush slightly and look away before she moved to join Kurenai in the kitchen. Naruto shook his head and his face quickly returned to the emotionless state it was typically in, smiling and trying to befriend the Hyuga girl was a very trying task.

It was but a few minutes later before there was another knock at the door that Kurenai moved to answer, Kiba had worn much the same thing that Naruto had except the coloring of his hakama was different it included more brown into the design and a dog was stitched into the lower section. It was ill fitting and obviously was an heirloom and not a custom fit for the dog boy. Naruto gave a slight wave to Kiba before he stood and moved into the kitchen.

Kurenai was busy setting up the dining table when Naruto came in and silently began to help her with it. Her eyes lingered a second longer than was decent on the boy before she resumed setting the table. In the next moment it was completely set and she was ready to bring the food out. She moved to the kitchen where she found Hinata taking the rice off the stove and sliding it onto a serving tray. Kurenai offered the girl a smile for her troubles and picked up the tray with the cooked fish sitting on the kale bedding made for it.

"Thank you for your help Hinata." She proclaimed before her female student and herself brought the food to the dining table.

Shortly after the food had been placed upon the table Naruto, with Kiba in tow, entered into the room, Naruto smoothly pulled out a chair and offered it to Kurenai while Kiba did the same with Hinata before the two boys took their own seats across from each other at the table.

"Go ahead and eat, I cooked it all myself as a thank you for being such a good team." Kurenai announced with a smile as the three genin started to place things onto their plate.

It was then that small talk cropped up among the diner party, there were several topics discussed such as the current position of the village in the world all the way down to what their favorite dish of the night was. It was soon after their small talk came to a conclusion as Kurenai made the announcement.

"I take it you all have read the petition form and the jonin consent form and understand the ramifications of taking the test and the possible reward namely becoming a chunin."

"We have sensei, we read it as a group after you left." Kiba informed Kurenai.

"Very good now you each have the option to take it or not, it would be easiest to take it as a team but I cannot force you to take it and the choice to partake is up to each and every one of you." The red eyed jonin said as she steered the conversation toward their training.

"I . . . I don . . don't know . . . if . . I . . . I'm . . . ready." Hinata sputtered out.

"Its okay Hinata the choice is yours if you want to take it or not you don't have to if you don't want to." Kurenai said as she tried to easy the girl and get her to relax.

Naruto had an internal war going on, he needed to find a way to get Hinata to take the test at all cost, obviously Kurenai was withholding the fact that they had to take it as a team, that or Yoroi had lied to him, but if Yoroi was actually working for Orochimaru then he had no reason to lie to him, but if he wasn't and had lied to him. . . No Naruto decided he would get Hinata to take the test that way no matter what the actual rules are his team would be in the exam.

The dinner party came to an end shortly after that and the three genin had gone their own ways to their respective homes, a Hyuga boy approximately their age was waiting outside to escort Hinata home, and beyond that the walk home for Naruto was pretty mundane. Naruto didn't have an awful time like he hypothesized he would, and he actually enjoyed Kurenai's cooking, now he was just faced with one last task for the night, find a way to get Hinata to take the test.

Kurenai's Home

Kurenai smiled as she watched her team depart, they had been quite pleasant to have over, and even though she had her doubts the class in which they conducted themselves was very formal and polite, it was obvious their clan training had served them well. Naruto however she found especially impressive as the boy never had anyone in his life to teach him edict and the boy not only showed up in very flattering appropriate dress, as it took a great deal of physical appeal to get Kurenai to look at a man the way she looked at Naruto, but to behave in a way befitting a young nobleman. She had enjoyed the diner party and even hoped to do it in the future.

Kurenai yawned she was tired and ready to turn in for the night. She went upstairs to her bathtub and shed her formal clothing, she opened the top cap and allowed the water to begin to flow through it filling the tub before she capped it again and lit the small woodpile underneath tub allowing it to heat the water before she sunk into it, laid her head against the side and let herself relax. It had been a good night.

Hyuga Compound

Naruto had snuck around the guards of the compound who thankfully didn't have their byakugan active and quickly approached the main building. His long black cloak whispered around his ankles as he walked along the wall and found the room the heiress he was seeking lived in. He bounded onto the balcony and withdrew the hood of his cloak from the top of his head and knocked on the screen which slid open only a second later.

Hinata had yet to remove her white kimono she had worn to Kurenai's home and blushed as she saw Naruto, still in his formal clothing, standing on her balcony. The Hyuga girl was the first to break the silence.

"Naru . . Naruto . . wha . ." Hinata began to stutter out before Naruto moved slightly closer to her and cupped her chin pulling her pale lavender eyes to stare into his deep blue eyes.

"Hinata you should participate in the exam." Naruto told her while holding her gaze and the young girl began to blush.

"Naruto . . . I . . . I'm not . . strong. . ."

"Hinata you are stronger than you think." Naruto told her before he closed the distance and put every effort and will into the kiss he began with Hinata trying through force of will get her to obey him.

Hinata stiffened significantly before she began to return his kiss in a nervous and inexperienced manner. Naruto began to move her backwards into her room and shut the balcony door behind them and moved her in. The two teammates were surrounded by the darkness, but Naruto's eyes adjusted quickly to the white of Hinata's kimono. He continued to kiss her before he slid his hands lower on the girl gliding them along her lower back and then around her waist until his hands found the tie of the kimono. His hands slid it free and dropped it to the ground as the girls kimono opened in the front and Hinata suddenly crunched in on herself but Naruto stopped it as he pulled the girl against his body and pulled away from the kiss slightly.

"Hinata you have nothing to fear." He comforted the girl as he laid her onto her bed and crawled along overtop of her. It took a few seconds but Hinata nodded before Naruto's lips found hers again and they were once again locked into a kiss.

Naruto's hands then slide into her kimono and along the pale skin of her stomach and chest. In the next instant her kimono was pulled out from under her and she laid there in nothing but her lone undergarment. Naruto felt the girl trembling beneath him and decided to capitalize on it. He moved his mouth away from hers and along her neck, in the next breath he bit down slightly on her earlobe as his hands moved lower and one of them ran experimentally overtop of her covered clit. Hinata moan.

Naruto continued to move his fingers along her as he felt her body tightening up beneath his own. Suddenly her hands were around his neck holding onto him. It was time to take her. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of the remaining undergarment and pulled it softly, and slowly off her body leaving the Hyuga heiress completely exposed beneath him.

Hinata for her part couldn't speak all she could do it seemed was cling to Naruto and enjoy the sensation he was giving her. In the next moment she felt Naruto's body move against her own and she shivered.

Naruto then looked down at Hinata and kissed her twice before she nodded her head ever so slightly. She wanted him, that nod was what Naruto was waiting for her surrender.

Naruto moved his hips quickly and pushed into her. Tight didn't begin to describe the girl as he struggled to move his length inside the Hyuga girl. She nearly called out but he quickly covered her mouth with his own and kissed her again. The girl was incredibly wet Naruto noted and it was aiding him in moving deeper inside the girl's body. Over the course of the next few seconds Naruto's length hit the back of the girl's body bumping up against her cervix Hinata moaned out and Naruto moved his mouth away from the girl and began to thrust in and out of her.

After a few moments Naruto pulled out of Hinata and gripped her hips, the girl let out a quick squeak at that before she was flipped over onto her stomach.

"Get on your knees." Naruto ordered the girl who after a stunned second complied.

Naruto was behind her in the next instant and aligned himself with her opening. He gripped her hips and used them as leverage to thrust back into the girl. He moved quickly this time taking the girl over and over and she let out small moans before Naruto reached forward and pushed her head into the pillow to stop her from alerting the rest of her family to their nighttime actions.

Hinata's body was highly aroused and she soon started to tighten around Naruto's own body. He was being squeezed tightly by Hinata's longing body before he was surrounded in a great deal more of the girls own fluid and Hinata went slack underneath his own body as if all the strength had left her limbs the shaking and quivering had stopped and she didn't seem to move after that. Naruto pulled himself out of her and turned her over to see she had her eyes closed and she was smiling.

Once Hinata realized she had been rolled over she stuck her arm out longingly and Naruto complied taking her arm and pulling her up and against his own body as she laid against him.

"Naruto that was wonderful." The girl whispered to the blond boy.

"Yes it was Hinata yes it was." Naruto responded absently.

After a few moments of silence in which Naruto held the girl Hinata finally pulled away and moved to light a candle by her bed stand which put her entire naked body on display.

Naruto looked her over for a second and smiled slightly to her trying to make the gesture seem warm and caring. Hinata moved to Naruto silently and kissed him before pressing against his chest to hide her blush and averting her eyes downward.

"I . . I . . I'll take the test." Naruto said quietly and uncertainly to her teammate.

Naruto smiled at her and leaned her head up to kiss him again. "Good Hinata good."

In the next second Naruto turned Hinata around so she was facing her bed and he moved the girl till she was standing with her thighs pressed against her bedframe. In the next second Naruto had bent Hinata back over and moved right against her. He entered the girl quickly from behind and leaned down to her ear.

"But we aren't done here yet."
