Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Chapter 3

Naruto was sleeping peacefully as Hinata couldn't catch any sleep at all. She just couldn't get over the fact that he, her longtime crush, was just an inch away. She wanted to touch him, but she knew that wouldn't be appropriate. She turned red, just by thinking of her touching him and let out a soft giggle but quickly put a hand over her mouth to cover the sound. Luckily Naruto didn't hear anything.

She sighed as she stepped out of the tent. Why are we here again?

Oh yeah, to save Sasuke-kun… Hinata felt deeply ashamed that she payed more attention to her blond crush than to the mission to save Sasuke. She also felt ashamed that she had to lie to the hokage and to her father in order to be alone with Naruto. I had to lie… she tried to convince herself…I had to lie so we could save Sasuke-kun! She wasn't convinced by her own thoughts at all.

Flashback

Should I really go through with this? she questioned herself. But before she could give herself a response, the door flew open and a young woman, carrying a pig in her hands appeared. "Tsunade-sama can see you now", Shizune said to Hinata who was waiting at the door.

Entering the room Hinata saw Tsunade at her desk, holding a cup of sake.

"So, Hyuuga-san, what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Eh.." Hinata began, while tipping her two fingers against each other, "I-i have a f-favor to ask y-you, Tsunade-sama"

Tsunade's eyes windened, a favor? Hinata is asking ME for a favor? How odd..

"Hn; continue," she said instead, taking a sip from her sake.

"I-it involves N-naruto-kun"

Now THAT makes sense. Tsunade thought as her lips formed a small smile.

"What can I do for you, that involves Naruto, Hyuuga-san?" she asked.

"A-ano, I would l-like to go on a mission with him."

" I see, what kind of mission?"

" A-actually it's more kind of a trip."

"Well if its more of a trip than I could not forbid you for going on a simple trip with Naruto, now could I?" What kind of trip is she talking about? Are they dating or something? She grinned.
Tsunade, as all of Konoha, knew about Hinata's crush on Naruto, and she thought it would be a good thing for them to spend some time alone together. Maybe Naruto would finally realise what everyone else has realised a long time ago.

"I-it's just that my father… he wouldn't want me to go on a trip with Naruto alone" she stated.

" I see, well, I suppose I could say to him you went on a mission"

"Hai, arrigato Tsunade-sama" Hinata responded as she bowed and quickly removed herself from the office. That went alright, she thought till she bumped into the pink-haired apprentice of the Hokage. "Gomen, Sakura-chan!"

Sakura eyed Hinata walking away at rapid speed.

Hinata couldn't help but wonder if Sakura had overheard their conversation…
