Authors note: Sorry for late update..Life got in the way But i made it a little longer this time so please enjoy
Once again i don't own Naruto because if i did trust me it would be horrible...
The annoying bleeping of an alarm clock shook the tiny bed room. Naruto turn on his side with a groan before grabbing his blankets and pulling them over his head. But that did nothing to stop the loud beeping noise drumming in his ears. Finally with a deep sigh he gave in and quickly slammed his hand down on the alarm, shutting it off.
He was exhausted from the previous night filled with partying drinking and Girls. Yes being young and single was great, no extra baggage, party's beyond end and with his looks he could practically have any girl he wanted. But it wasn't all wonderful, he couldn't help but feel lonely at times.
His parents died when he was younger so every day he'd come home to a dark empty apartment with no one waiting for him. Sure he had his friends but Naruto always wondered what it would be like to share his life with someone, to be in LOVE.
It wasn't like he didn't try he had several girl friends in the past. But for some reason they never worked out. They never understood him or he could never understand them. From the gold diggers and mega bitches, to the cheaters and self-absorbed psychos Naruto had practically dated them all. And the break ups...OH they were horrible. The screaming and crying killed him, he had to replace his tv five times and even had to change the locks a few times.
The depression that followed was way worst so Naruto decided to take a break from dating for a while. How hard was it to find a cute girl with a killer personality? That's all he asked for, was that too much? In fact forget the cute part someone who will just love him for him. Naruto crawled out of his bed with a yawn stopping himself from dwelling on negative thoughts. He shut his curtains to stop the warm sun from blinding him and ventured off to the bathroom. He silently hoped it would be a good day.
Naruto quickly opened the door and stepped out into the cool fall air. It was time for another boring day at the university and since his car was in the shop he had to take the train.
It wasn't his fault he wrecked his car, the day went like any other. He was driving to school along with his best friend Sasuke and they got into one of their usual arguments.
It was about Sakura, Sasuke knew Sakura had a thing for him for years yet he still refused to make their relationship official. Even though it was clear that the usually cold Sasuke had warmed up to her.
Naruto had it! he didn't care if he had to grab him by his stupid emo looking hair and drag his ass to her house, he was going to make sure they got their relationship figured out and that's exactly what he did.
He picked Sasuke up earlier than usual, explaining to him that he had a project he had to do so he had to go to school earlier. Unfortunately Sasuke caught on quickly when he noticed the route they were taking and ordered him to turn the car around. He refused and they broke out into a fight about relationships and happiness.
"What are you afraid of man! Here's a great girl who's practically poring her heart and soul out to you and your telling me your just gonna leave things alone!" Naruto yelled turning to his friend.
"Hey Dobe-." Don't you dare Dobe me you ass hat!" Naruto said pointing his finger in his friends face.
"WATCH OUT! Sasuke said grabbing the steering wheel and turning it. And boom just like that Naruto's beautiful black mustang with orange flames on the sides was wrecked. Luckily no one was hurt, the car ran off the rode into a nearby tree. But it took practically all Naruto's savings to get it fixed.
Now here he was squashed on the Train between a few sweaty old men and an overweight woman eating something that looked and smelled like something that crawled out of the pits of hell.
Sasuke's lucky ass was getting rides from Sakura now, so in some ways his plan kinda worked. He decided it was for the best that he didn't tag along, it would help the two get closer it was the least he could do. But why oh why did being a good friend have such horrible prices like this.
Naruto tried to wiggle himself out of the old smelly sandwich he was stuck in to only bump into some one. His nose immediately filled with the sweet and calming sent of lavender and vanilla. Naruto knew instantly who it was and he felt a smile begin to creep on his face.
He bent down so he could reach the ears of his victim. "Why hello there stranger." He whispered seductively causing the person to jump with an eep! They then spun around to look at him in a defensive stance.
Naruto couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing loud. "N-Naruto-kun!? Hinata almost yelled. "Haha Oh my god y-you should have seen your face!" he said between breaths and laughter. "And whats w-with that stance are you some kinda ninja or something ahahha." Hinata's face turned bright red, she pulled her lavender scarf up and tried to hide her embarrassed blush.
However Naruto noticed "Hey Hey it was just a joke don't be embarrassed" Hinata started to pout and Naruto prepared himself to get hit when he saw her raise her arms.
To his surprise Hinata put both her hands at the sides of her face and stuck her tongue out at him. Naruto's stomach dropped and he was filled with overwhelming happiness.
He had missed this Hinata the one who understood his jokes, the one who smiled gently at him when he did something stupid, the one who he could talk to about anything. It was like she was beginning to be the person he knew again and they were taking the first steps in repairing their relationship
"I-I wasn't embarrassed" she said looking away holding back her smile.
"Yeah right!" He said laughing again and this time she joined him.
Her laugh was light and gentle like bells. Naruto couldn't help but stare at her, it had been so long since he heard her laugh. Her head tilted to the ground slightly, her smile peeked through her fingers as she tried to conceal it, her cheeks stained pink and tiny tears lay in the corner of her eyes. Naruto smiled thinking about how cute she looked laughing like that.
Naruto felt his chest flutter but he couldn't figure out why. In fact this wasn't the first time he felt weird around Hinata. Back in high school he sometimes felt the urge to hug her and well do other THINGS... but he banished those thoughts. She was one of his best friends after all and to think about her that way was just strange. Now that he thought about it he really did value Hinata and his friend ship that's why he was so heart broken when she left him...right?
"So where are you going hmm?" Hinata stopped laughing and looked at him. "Oh uh the U-University" she said Naruto looked at the ID that hung around her neck closely
"Hidden Leaf University! You go to that ritzy ditsy private school" he said looking at her confused. "Ah yes W-why?" Naruto's eyes drifted to the ground.
"No reason I was just hoping that- Look Hinata" he put his hands on her shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes seriously
"W-what is it?" She was feeling a bit uncomfortable with him being so close to her face.
"You should stop going to that boring School and transfer to Konoha University" he said slightly shaking her.
"W-what why?" Now it was her turn to be confused.
"I- I mean everyone kinda misses you and it would be kinda cool if everyone was going to the same school again."
Hinata didn't say anything she just blinked she did miss her friends but transferring was that ok?
"And if you're worried about your classes our school has those fancy smart people classes and plenty of activities just ask shikamaru!"
Konoha University was a great school and she didn't think her father would mind, after all neji went there and the only reason she didn't go there was because of the drama that went on.
" Oh I-I don't know about that I-I Mean transferring out o-of the blue like that isn't i-it a bit sudden?" Hinata forced herself to look up at him.
They were so close Hinata could feel his breath tickling her cheeks. If only there was some room on the bus, she would have backed away from him, her face was heating up.
Naruto thought about it for bit and came to a conclusion that she was probably right, then again she was always right Hinata was really smart and thought things through unlike him. He sighed "I guess your right but at least think about it ok?"
Hinata nodded and Naruto released his grip on her. Hinata couldn't figure out why he was so interested in making her apart of everything. He couldn't have missed her THAT much? Sure they were like best friends but he had sasuke, maybe he was just trying to be a good friend
"Um Naruto-kun" Hinata decided it was her turn to make an effort on her part, enough of this awkwardness.
"Yeah whats up" Naruto turned looking at her with curiosity.
"Would Y-you M-Maybe want T-to" Hinata was struggling so hard to get her words out her face was changing shades.
"JAPANESE Hinata JAPANESE" Naruto said hoping to snap her out of her stuttering frenzy.
"Wouldyouliketohangoutafterworktoday" she squeaked out quickly. Hinata wasn't sure he understood what she said because he just stood there saying nothing.
Maybe she asked to soon after all they just started talking again. "I-I mean we don't have too i-if your busy o-or we can bring o-our friends too." Hinata looked down at her brown boots, she was afraid to look at his face.
"NO THATS PERFECT HINATA THAT WOULD BE AWESOME-TTEBAYO "Naruto yelled a bit too loudly.
Then he grabbed and forced her into a bear hug. The embarrassment Hinata felt before was nothing compared to the way she felt now. Loud claps and cheers filled the train all eyes were on them and Hinata thought she would die right there. "You go girl!" Yelled one girl, "Kiss her yelled" one Man. If Narutos arms weren't strangling Hinata in place she would have melted away.
"Well I gotta go Hinata this is my stop, I'll see ya later" Naruto waved to the still embarrassed Hinata as he hopped of the train. Hinata smiled slightly and waved to him. She turned around to a crowd of people with creepy smiles spread across their faces and the rest of train ride she was bombarded with questions from her fellow passengers
Naruto was felt like he was walking on air. He couldn't wait to tell his friends about hanging out with Hinata after work.
He walked down the street to his school whistling the happiest tune he could think of. He stopped when he saw a very familiar duo exiting a white car. "Sasuke! Sakura!" He yelled while waving his arms frantically in the air.
"Maybe if we pretend we didn't hear him he will go away" Sakura whispered to Sasuke. "Nah i say we make a run for it" He whispered back to her. "Ok in 3...2...1.. Go! The duo broke out into a wild sprint towards the school.
"Hey you Guys Stop!" He yelled as he tried catching up to his friends. "Ok if that's how you wanna play Fine but let's not forget who the captain of the soccer team was for two years in high school!" Naruto then picked up his pace and was quickly catching up to them.
"Oh shit he's catching up!" Sakura yelled "Split up Sasuke yelled back. And just like that the duo separated. Naruto knew Sakura was much easier to catch so he let her go and went straight after the harder catch Sasuke.
He was right on his tail and with one final reached he was able to tackle him to the ground. "Why did you guys run I just wanted to talk" Naruto said getting up from the ground.
"That's exactly why we ran you had that stupid look on your face and frankly I'm not interested in another Dobe story telling session." Sasuke said rolling his eyes and dusting the dirt off his pants.
"Well to bad now shut up and listen!" Naruto's attention turned to the tree behind him. "You too Sakura, I see you get over here" Sakura slowly slid out from behind the tree and walked towards them. "Ok Ok just get it over with I have classes to get too" she said crossing her arms.
Naruto took a deep breath and started rambling on about his train ride and Hinata. "And then she said we should hang out after work Can you believe it! Its like high school all over again this is going to be great! Tebayo."Naruto collapsed on the ground again with a loud sigh.
"I haven't seen him like this in a while, man I gotta hand it to Hinata" Sasuke said looking at Sakura.
"Yeah if i didn't know any better i would think he was going on a date or something," sakura said giggling.
Naruto shot up from the ground like a bullet " Date!? What no it's not like that it's just two adults going out and enjoying themselves" Naruto felt his face heat up, must be the sun.
"More like an adult and a child" Sasuke murmured.
"What was that teme! Naruto growled.
"Settle down boys, now naruto where are you going on this...Non date" Sakura questioned.
Naruto didn't say anything for long period of time "I...Uh... well.. You see"
"Oh my god he doesn't know" Sasuke place his hand on his face and shook his head. Naruto sent a fist flying towards him but he easily dodged it.
" Thats Not true we...just didn't talk about it." He couldn't believe he forgot to talk about it with her.
"Well you might wanna figure that out its kinda important" Sakura said turning around.
"Well good luck on Your Non date" she said just as the bell rung.
"Try not to make a fool out yourself for like 5 seconds ok Dobe" Sasuke said as he followed Sakura up the stairs.
Naruto gave him a not so nice hand gesture before walking to his class. He didn't care what they said this was going to be the best NON date ever.
Hinata was a nervous reck she still couldn't believe she asked naruto to hang out with her after work. What was she thinking she couldn't handle hanging out with him alone again. Maybe she could ask one of the girls to tag along. No they would say no plus she needed to WOMAN up and do this. It would be her first step in recovery and to be honest she kinda missed hanging out with him as well.
Hinata stopped walking around the library. She made up her mind she was going to do this no matter what, nothing was going to stop her.
"What are you doing Miss Hinata?" For the second time today Hinata jumped in fear. "Oh hello Toneri you scared me" Hinata turned to her snow white haired friend.
"I apologize that was not my intention are you alright? "He asked concerned.
Toneri was always nice to Hinata, she could remember when she first came to Hidden Leaf University and she knew no one. But then she met Toneri and he showed her around and helped her make friends.
"Yes I am alright I was just thinking, so w-what brings you here?" Toneri circled around the couch and sat next to her.
"I was passing by when I noticed you were still here at the library, so I thought I should give you some company."
"Why that's very sweet of you but I a-actually have to go now it's time for work" she said smiling as she got up from the couch.
"I guess I will be seeing you" and with that Hinata started to leave.
All of a sudden she felt some one grab her wrist tightly. "Wait!" Toneri almost shouted.
Hinata felt her stomach drop, "Yes?" she questioned.
"You forgot your bag" he said smiling at her again. Hinata took the bag from him and bowed before sprinting off to catch her bus. She stared out window of the bus in deep thought. Toneri was very sweet but whenever she was around him she got a weird feeling. Hinata rubbed her slightly red wrist, IT Hurt.
Naruto tried to focus on the loud customers and hundreds of orders being thrown at him but he couldn't. He couldn't wait for Hinata to burst through those doors, so they could talk about their plans and he knew exactly where they would be going.
Almost as if she heard him Hinata came running into the shop and grabbed her apron. "HINATA!" Naruto yelled nearly causing the customer he was serving to go deaf. But he didn't care he sprinted over to Hinata overjoyed.
"Hello Naruto-kun" She said after mouthing an apology to the customer he was serving.
"Ok I know this is probably bad timing but I know the perfect place for us to go after work."
Just then the manager came running out from the back room cutting him off. "What are you two doing we have a ton of customers waiting for you" she yelled with her hand placed on her hip.
Naruto then turned around dramatically. "I'm so sorry Miss Manager I was just telling Hinata how beautiful you look in your new sweater and how your eyes look like the ocean sparkling in the sunlight. Ah!I just couldn't help myself" Naruto then winked at her.
The manager face turned tomato red " Well ok but you guys hurry up there are customers waiting" she then shyly walked away. " And That Hina is how you get out of trouble, I guess we will talk later" he whispered as he walked away.
Hinata tried her hardest not to laugh and got to work. The rest of the work day was filled with laughter and peace. Ever since Naruto started working at the cafe he really brightened it up. He was funny, quirky and somehow had the power to make anyone smile.
Seriously! Hinata saw customers in the worst moods ever but somehow he was able to make them smile, he was like the sun truly. Hinata had to admit she was really starting to enjoy working with him regularly.
Hinata glanced up at the clock that hung in front of the front door. It was 7:50, closing time was in ten minutes and Hinata was a bit excited surprisingly. She was interested in seeing just where Naruto had planned on taking her. "JUST hanging out" Hinata repeated in her head, she was also afraid of having TOO much fun and letting her self-fall for him again.
She knew she had to be strong and erase any previous affection she had for him before and look at him as a friend, but as much as she tried she couldn't help but feel like she wanted more. "Hey Hinata" Hinata snapped out of her daydream and turned to Naruto.
"Are you ready I just have to lock up" Hinata shook her head" Uh y-yeah I was just l-lost in thought" she said smiling awkwardly at him.
Naruto sighed "Typical Hinata always daydreaming "he joked.
"Well I'll go take care of those pesky locks and then it's you and me." Smiling he walked back towards the doors.
"Yep just you and me" Hinata murmured nervously before slipping into her beige coat. After putting on her lavender scarf and gloves Hinata waited quietly by the front door for Naruto.
"Alright everything is all set...after you" Naruto said opening the door for Hinata. And with that the two were out the door and on their way to their NON Date.
"So where are we going e-exactly" Hinata looked at Naruto who was grinning. Naruto put a finger to his lips "It's a secret"
"N-Now it's a secret? You were going to tell me earlier"
"Yeah i was... BUT I think it's more exciting this way" Naruto laughed.
Hinata pouted "Tell me" she looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Cute but it's not gonna work on me" Naruto patted her head and continued to walk. His words caused Hinata's cheeks to redden.
"I promise I'm not taking you to some weird place, you'll love it trust me" Hinata looked at the ground and didn't say anything.
"Hinata?"
"Ok Ok I-I trust you" she sighed in defeat.
Naruto smirked "Good, that wasn't so hard... now stick close to me were getting to a crowded part of town I wouldn't want you getting lost"
Hinata quicken her pace to catch up to him. Hinata hadn't been to this side of town in ages. There were shops at every corner, Lights filled the streets and there was tons of people. But there was something about the specific path they were going, it just felt familiar, oh how she desperately wanted to know.
"Ok milady I'm gonna need you to close your eyes for a bit"
"C-Close My eyes!" There were so many people and cars she was bound to bump into something.
"Don't worry I'll guide you" Naruto extended his hand to her.
"Just trust me." Hinata hesitated for moment but obliged. She reached out blindly and placed her gloved hand in his. All the nerves she felt before instantly melted away. "Alright lets gooo." A small smile began to creep on to her face as she felt him pull her through the streets. She didn't know why but with Naruto by her side she felt like nothing bad could ever happen to her.
"Ok open your eyes in 3...2...1" Hinata opened her eyes slowly.
There in front of her stood Ichiraku's ramen shop. "N-No you didn't" Hinata said shocked "Oh but I did" Naruto took her hand and led her inside.
Flash backs of the past filled her head, Naruto and her use to go here all the time in high school. They use to have so much fun, laughing and having competition's on who could eat the most ramen. She would somehow always win and the loser always had to pay for it in the end."Ah just like old times huh?!" Hinata nodded before running over to her favorite stool in front of the kitchen. She loved that spot because she was able to watch the food while it was cooking. "Look the stool is still chipped from when I fell off it that one time" Naruto said pointing to the leg of the stool which had a piece of wood missing. "I remember there was ramen everywhere and then we had to clean it up"
"And then I fell trying to clean it up" Hinata reminisced. The two busted out laughing at their humorous memory. "Hello how can I help you-"The women who looked around thirty stop mid-sentence. "Well Look who it is naruto and hinata how are you two."
"Hey Ayame, I'm great just coming in for my regular stuff." Naruto took a seat next to hinata. " Oh but of course…What about you Hinata you haven't been here in a while have you."
"I'm fine, I'm sorry I have been so busy I planned on visiting when I had some free time."
"I bet you're really glad I brought you here then." Naruto said taking chop sticks from the can him next to him. "Yeah." Hinata smiled at him gently "Thank you Naruto-kun."
A huge smile formed on Ayame's face. "You two wait right here I have to get my father.
Naruto was happy to return to the shop he and hinata had loved since they were little. Just seeing the excitement in her eyes when they got here brought so much happiness to him. Most girls would hate to come to places like this but Hinata, she was different. She didn't care about expensive stuff or going to five star restaurants. She seemed to just enjoy spending time with the people she cared about. Naruto wished that all girls could be more like hinata, it would make dating a lot easier.
"My, my Hinata have you grown" an older looking man said coming from the back of the shop.
"It's nice to see you again Mr Teuchi" Hinata said slightly bowing.
"Still as kind as I remember…. Can't say the same for you Naruto."
Naruto slammed his chop sticks down on the table "Hey!"
Hinata couldn't help but giggle a bit. "I mean really, I don't know how she is able to deal with you, You really have found someone special." He said nodding his head as if to confirm what he was saying.
"Well-mannered Beautiful Naruto you are a lucky man" he said laughing.
Hinata's face turned bright red, "what do you mean old man?' Naruto questioned.
"You too are on a date are you not?' Teuchi asked confused.
"Naruto's Face also turned slightly red "WHAT NOOOO ME AND HINATA ARE JUST HANGING OUT AS FRIENDS" he blurted out quickly "Why does everyone keep saying that.
Both Teuchi's and Ayame's faces dropped into frowns,"Seriously? How old are you two now any way" Ayame questioned.
"We both will be twenty pretty soon" Naruto answered confused "why?"
Teuchi turned to Ayame with a concered face. "It's been years and you two still haven't become a…. well I just thought that…well hoped that… nevermine" Teuchi turned to the kitchen.
"I'll just… go and make your orders Miso with extra Chasu right?" They both nodded, Naruto might not have picked up on what teuchi was saying but Hinata sure did.
Hinata picked up the warm sider Ayame had left for them and took a sip. Her gaze fell to the counter as she let her thoughts take over her. Even teuchi and ayame knew about her feelings for Naruto without her telling them, so why was it so hard for him to notice.
Was it her looks? Was she not pretty enough for him? Or was it her personality? She was so shy and kind of simple was that boring? Did it detour him? Hinata gazed deeply into the warm honey colored liquid. She once again forced her mind free of the negative thoughts that surfaced.
"Hey Hinata are you ok" Naruto looked at her with worry, she had just been sitting there staring into her cup for a long period of time. "Oh…. I-It's nothing" she said not looking away from her cup.
"Don't say that... It's gotta be something you finally stop stuttering around me and now you're doing it again"
Hinata hadn't noticed it but to her surprise she did stop, it must have been because she was feeling comfortable with him.
Naruto had become frustrated with hinata hiding things from him. He reached over and took Hinata's hand in his, causing her to jump slightly in surprise. He gently removed the lavender glove from her hand and firmly gripped his cold hand with her warm one.
"Listen to me Hinata." She gave him her full attention." I know things have been a little rough between us since… You came back." Naruto took a deep breath and swallowed before he continued
"But I just want….. I just want it to be like it used to…. When we had fun…. When we were happy"
Hinata looked at him with watery eyes.
"I don't know if I did anything wrong but if I did I'm SO sorry.. Really I am Hinata
"So please… Can I have my best friend back? Naruto smiled sadly awaiting her answer.
Hinata squeezed his hand back, Tears began to fall down her face when she heard him swallow back his own tears.
"What are you talking about…. siily…. I never went anywhere" Hinata placed another hand on top of his and smiled gently "And I am never going anywhere."
Any sadness Naruto was feeling was instantly melted away by the words she had just spoken and he broke out into the biggest and brightest smile hinata had ever seen.
"Ok…. A fresh start that means no more secrets between us ok?" Naruto raised his pinky up. Hinata giggled at his childish antics.
"It's a promise" She gripped her pinky with his to seal the promise.
Sniffles and claps drew the attention of the two.
"That was beautiful" Ayame said clapping.
"Here's your meals there on the house" Teuchi said wiping his tears.
Naruto and Hinata looked at each other for a moment before bursting out in a fit of laughter.
Hinata made a promise to herself that she would not let anything get in the way of their friendship ever again… even if it was her own feelings.
Naruto rubbed his hand with his other, secretly missing the warmth that had once been there.
"Can I open them now?' Hinata frowned as she was once again pulled throughout the city streets.
"Haha nope I got one more surprise for you and that means no peeking."
Hinata slowly began to open her eyes "Ah! I said no peeking" Naruto placed his hands over her now closed eyes.
"Aw! you're no fun'" Hinata giggled as he used his body to shove her forward. Hinata stuck both her arms out to her sides and began moving them.
"What are you doing now" Naruto questioned.
"I'm trying to see if I can feel where were going you know since one of my main senses are blocked" Naruto laughed and placed her arms at her sides
"Haha that won't be necessary were almost there"
Hinata was proud of herself with in just a few hours she had almost opened up to Naruto completely. She was really enjoying herself and any tension there was was completely gone.
"Ok now you can open them" she opened her eyes to an Empty Park that was covered with autumn leaves.
"Wow this place hasn't changed either." Hinata said as she looked around.
This park also held a lot of fond memories, Hinata and Naruto spent there weekends here sometimes when they were little.
"Yup and check it out" Naruto pointed to a swing set that was tied to a tree. Hinata slowly walked towards it.
"They kept it still after all these years." she said as she ran her fingers against the ruff surface.
"Yeah I thought it would be gone too especially since I tied it here… but nope they kept it."
Hinata took a seat on the old wooden plank of the swing. "Push me?" Hinata said quietly.
Naruto was thrown off by her words "What was that.. You want me to push you? A grown woman like your self.
Hinata's cheeks heated "Ah never mind your right it was stupid." she started to get up from the swing but Naruto stopped her.
"No I'll do it I was just surprised ya know "and with that he gave the swing a push.
Naruto hadn't felt this nice in a long time, being here with Hinata was like a dream, a dream he never wanted to wake from.
He pushed the swing with a little more force each time it came back to his hands "Hey Hinata?"
Hinata, who had closed her eyes enjoying the breeze on her face opened them giving him her attention. "Hmmm?"
"Let's do this again sometime…. ok?" Naruto looked to the ground slightly embarrassed by his question.
Hinata smiled tenderly "Of course." Hinata jumped off the swing and turned to him.
"Just let me know and we will." Naruto smiled and took both her hands "Ok then…. How about tomorrow?
Hinata was shocked that was so soon. "Really are you sure ….Thats pretty soon" Hinata said expecting him to back down.
But Naruto gripped her hands tighter and gave her a firm nod.
She sighed "Well if that's what you really want ok." What did she have to worry about anyway she was going to get over him, she promised herself.
Naruto flung his fist in the air "YES! Hinata put her hands over her mouth and laughed. Neither Hinata nor Naruto knew it, but in the distance there was someone watching them... and they were NOT happy.
