(Location: forest region waterfall country territory)

In the tallest of trees, two shadowy figures were jumping the tree branches at a fast pace. They were obviously in a hurry because they hasting their pace with each jump. One of the figures look like he was eighteen going to nineteen he had long shoulder spiky blond hair with cerulean eyes. He was tall probably reaching 6'4 tall his clothing was very noticeable to keep a low profile. He had an orange jounin vest with a long sleeve black vest the shirt also had a fish net design in the neck portion. Black cargo pants with an orange line on the sides' one could tell that he likes the color orange a lot. He had a shuriken pouch strapped on his right leg while a kunai pouch on his left back side and a black leaf headband strapped around his forehead. Lastly he had black boot style sandals and black fingerless gloves.

The second figure was a couple of feet shorter than the male. She was nineteen with long navy blue hair reaching to her back with white pearl eyes. She was quite beautiful and very attractive with a noticeable voluptuous chest that would make any man drool and have tons of nose bleeds. She was wearing a short sleeve lavender vest with her leaf head headband strapped on her neck and a regular jounin vest. She was wearing long grey pants with brown ninja sandals. Her shuriken pouch was on her right leg and her kunai pouch was on her right backside. Lastly her left hand was covered in bandages. Her pale had a couple of veins shown she was obviously using her bloodline limit the byakugan to gaze further ahead than the ordinary human eye can see. The two ninjas finally stopped staying on of one of the branches, while she kept her gaze at the road ahead.

"Have you found her yet Hinata-chan?"

"Not yet Naruto-kun…."

The blond sighed" this supposed to be an A rank rescue mission but it feels higher than that, we've been searching for the bandits hide out for days. Even my shadow clones haven't found anything yet…"

"We will find it eventually Naruto-kun I believe in both of our abilities…" she smiled at her boyfriend of three years.

"I know I never give up no matter what" Naruto gave his fox grin.

"Me too" Hinata replied to her boyfriend with a smile.

After three years in being in a committed relationship, both Naruto and Hinata have become very close. They have become the best friends while loving each other. Hinata has managed to come out of her timid shell and she was now speaking more freely having great communication with her boyfriend. Both couldn't be any happier with each other. Hinata was beyond happy to finally get together with her crush since the academy. She couldn't be any happier with her relationship, everyone has approved of her happiness from her friends and her family. Her father Hiashi was happy that she together with Naruto the hero of Konoha and the son of the Yondaime Hokage, which in time the secret got out and the people started spreading the word that he was a Namikaze. It wasn't so shocking that Naruto was the son of the Yondaime because at eighteen the blond was a total replica of Minato except for the whiskers. As far as she was concern she wanted to be with Naruto for the rest of her life.

Naruto was in the same boat as Hinata he loves her that's all that matters to him. He has been living his life happily with her, yet there was an empty space in his heart. It was something he didn't understood yet. Sure he was still hurt that Sakura rejected him three years ago when he was about to confessed to her. But he move on and he was happy for her that she got together with Sasuke. As long as Sakura was happy then it was enough for him, his feelings for Hinata are strong. But there was something missing in his relationship with the Hyuga heiress, something he didn't know. He was happy with Hinata yet he felt like he wasn't complete. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has hidden his feeling for a certain pink haired kunoichi deep in his heart without revealing them ever again. He needed to focus in his relationship with Hinata, he also knew that it wouldn't be long before they get engage and get marry. Of course Hiashi approve of the future engagement since he was the son of the Yondaime it would benefit the Hyuga clan a lot. Sometimes he would question Hiashi's reasons, because he worries more for the clans business than his daughter or her happiness for the matter.

"Should we move on ahead to check if your byakugan can pick up the hideout's location" Naruto said.

"Let's continued moving I know were near" replied Hinata.

They continued jumping through the trees.

"I hope we find these guys and our target, the hidden waterfall village has been having some rough times lately."

Hinata nodded" I know their village has been attack a couple of times by bandits."

"I don't think they are ordinary bandits, these guys attacked the village with fire weapons and they were pretty strong too. Luckily the village wasn't so damage Shibuki has already gave the order to start the reconstruction of the village. The question is what kind of lowlife bandits will get powerful fire weapons?"

"It must be the work of someone selling them weapons."

"A weapons merchant" Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun…." Hinata looked at her boyfriend in concern she knew the expression on his face meaning that he was in deep thought and trouble about something.

"I'm fine Hinata-chan…"

"No you're not something is bothering you" Hinata frowned at her boyfriends comment.

The tall blond sighed he couldn't hide things from his girlfriend" fine it's just that people that sell fire weapons are like diseases, they sell their weapons of destruction to other villages with the purpose they used them against their enemies another killing each other in the process. Their love ones who lost them will want revenge on their part and they will want to have the same fire power to get even with their enemies and vice versa, and thus the never ending circle of hatred continues. Wherever hatred and revenge are near death is following closely, can there be a way for everyone to get along?"

Hinata gave a small smile at her boyfriends' speech. After three years he was still trying hard to find the answer to achieve peace. It was all thanks to his teacher Jiraiya who inspire him to search for the answer as well as Nagato a man who took the wrong path of peace by sacrificing a lot of lives. Hinata has always believed in him and she knows that someday he will find the answer, because he never gives up not going back on his word is his ninja way.

"Let's find these bandits and put an end to their fire weapons frenzy" Naruto said.

"Don't forget about our mission Naruto-kun, we have to rescue our clients' target"

"Of course I will never forget about something important like that, I won't let Shibuki down believe it!"

(Location: underground cavern waterfall country territory)

Deep in the underground of a dark cave in a prison cell there was someone sobbing. It was a little girl who seems to be around six, she had short brown hair with onyx eyes. She was wearing a purple kimono with flower designs on the sides. It seems she has been crying for a while, she was very frightened while trembling like she was cold. She gasped as the door to the area opened revealing one of the bandits next to another figure. The little girl took a step back seeing one of the bandits appearing on the cell. She took a close gaze at the stranger he had orange hair with blue eyes wearing a blue vest long black pants and black boots. The stranger also had what it seems something long strapped on his back like some kind of weapon.

He smiled gazing at the little girl" ah there's my little prize how are you doing?"

The girl was still crying" let me go you meanie I want my daddy!"

The stranger pretended to be hurt" oh don't be so mean I'm taking care of you, you could say I'm your baby sitter."

"Let me go you meanie!"

"Sorry I can't do that I need you because you're my little ticket to get the money I want" he gazed to one of the bandits" did you feed her?"

"Yes Banjo-sama!"

"That's good I don't want my little money ticket to die of hunger" he chuckle.

The little girl was still sobbing" let me go I want my daddy…."

"Don't worry once I have what I want I will let you go, you have my word little one."

"Will this plan work Banjo-sama?" asked the bandit.

"I can't believe you're questioning my intelligence of course it will work, this plan is the most effective way to gain lots of money. You see it begins with you people buying my weapons and use them to attack the hidden waterfall village, after the damage is done you fall back and let the ninjas do their job. However ninjas are very proud of their skills and they will never choose in buying my weapons."

Banjo gazed at the little girl with a grin" and that's where you come in my little one, I kidnapped the daughter of the kage of waterfall making him with no choice but to use brutal force. That's when I will make my appearance to him by offering my fine selections of weapons he won't hesitate knowing that his little daughter is in danger so he will buy them and used them on you in order to rescue his daughter."

"But won't we be in danger?" the bandit was scare.

"Relax I have everything under control, when they water fall ninjas attacked if they find our hideout that is I will give you guys my secret weapons which they are a lot stronger than the ones the waterfall ninjas will be using" Banjo said.

The bandit grinned" that is one heck of a plan Banjo-sama those waterfall ninjas won't know what hit them."

"Of course you will have to buy them just like any other customer of mine."

"Not to worry we have quite the amount of money to pay you, you'll be quite please Banjo-sama…"

"I am already just hearing the word money makes me all happy on the inside, after all I need to find potential customers to buy my weapons."

The little girl was still sobbing" daddy….I want my daddy!"

Banjo sighed in annoyance" again are you going to keep on crying? You sure can be a pain in the ass brat, let's get out of here I am sick of hearing her whining."

They left the prison area leaving the little girl alone she was still crying.

"Daddy….please daddy save me…."

(Location: near the hideout)

Hinata and Naruto were standing in one of the tree branches. They were gazing at an old house which it look like a mansion because of the size. Naruto spotted two bandits with swords guarding the main entrance, while his girlfriend was gazing at the whole house with her byakugan.

"Looks like we finally found the hideout" Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun there are lot of bandits inside the house"

"Define how many?"

"There are twenty inside the house, wait there is a secret passage that leads underground I see more bandits six and there's one who looks he's about to leave."

"I see do you have a plan Hinata-chan?"

"What I thought you already have one Naruto-kun?"

The nineteen year old scratch the back of his head" the only thing that comes to my head is barge in there, defeat all of the bandits and rescue our target."

Hinata sweat dropped at his comment" Naruto-kun that's reckless and you're a jounin now I think it will be best if we come up with a plan rather than charging head on."

"But they look like they're nothing I bet we can take them down with one single attack."

The Hyuga heiress sighed at her boyfriends' attitude she has come to know him that much" you're going to charged in there head first without making a plan are you?"

Naruto gave her a peek on her cheek making her blush" you know me that well Hinata-chan trust me this will be easy we won't even break a sweat."

"But still let's be careful okay?"

"Right!"

The blond jounin made a hand seal" mass shadow clone jutsu!"

POOF!!!

A hundred Naruto clones appeared standing all over the tree branches while they all took an explosive kunai.

The real Naruto gazed at his girlfriend giving his trade mark fox grin" just follow me Hinata-chan and you'll be all right."

The Hyuga heiress pouted while putting her hands on her hip" obviously you have forgotten that I'm a jounin too and even if the Hokage didn't promoted me from genin to jounin but I'm still strong you know."

Naruto chuckle" of course I know I'm more worry about those bandits."

Hinata giggled activating her byakugan, gazing at the abandoned house" let's do it Naruto-kun!"

Naruto nodded looking around his clone army" all right everyone seek and destroy and take no prisoners but there's no need to get our hands bloody."

"Roger!"

The clone army jumped the branches running straight at the house, the guards from the front door gasped and before they reacted towards the intruders all of the clones threw the explosive kunai.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Banjo was completely startled by the loud noise" what the hell was that?!"

One of the bandits went to him" sir intruders have break into the hideout!"

"What it can't be there's no way waterfall ninjas found our hideout so soon" the weapons merchant was not happy one bit.

"What should we do sir?"

"What do you think go stop them used my weapons on them for all I care for, but most importantly don't let them entered to my weapons stash" Banjo replied.

"Yes sir!" the bandit left.

Banjo growled"I'm not letting any stinking ninjas get a hold of my weapons without paying that is."

Back inside the house bandits were defeated with one attack by the Naruto clone army while Hinata was having her own fight against the bandits, which just like her boyfriend told her they were nothing but weaklings. It only took them a couple of minutes to beat the bandits in the house. Following Hinata using her byakugan the clone army head into the location where the underground passage is located. They head down the automatic lift heading into the underground, only to be met by a lot of bandits all with weapons. Naruto recognize the weapons he has seen automatic weapons that fire just by pulling the trigger, they were claim to be faster thank kunais and shurikens but he didn't believe the rumors. Hinata was a little nervous, of course she has heard of fire weapons. Getting hit by them the wound will be life threatening also she didn't know if she could reflect the bullets with her great heavenly spin.

But she never got the chance to think about the outcome. The Naruto clones have quickly thrown a sworn of shuriken killing all of the bandits before they got the chance to open fire. It seems ninja's reflexes were far off quicker than a regular bandit. They continued running through the underground cavern while Hinata was still checking their surroundings with her byakugan.

"Hinata-chan have you located our target?"

"Yes I can see her she's in a prison area not too far from here we have to take a left turn in the passage!"

"Let's go then I don't want to know if there anymore of those bandits with weapons" replied Naruto.

They turned left to the corner heading straight ahead they saw the door that leads to the prison area, Naruto decided to called back all of the shadow clones knowing that they have almost completed their mission. They slowly opened the door and they didn't saw no one, the prison area was empty until they gazed at one of the cages and they saw the little girl who was still crying.

"Naruto-kun there she is!"

"We did it come on let's get her out of this horrible place."

"Hold it!"

The two jounins stopped in their trackes seeing that Banjo has walked straight at them next to the little girl. The two teens glared hard at him they knew he was one of the bandits but Banjo was unfazed by their glares.

Banjo grinned" so I'm guessing you two have come to get her" he pointed to the little girl.

"That's right were going to get her out of here and bring her back to her father!" Naruto said.

"Are you the one in charge?" asked Hinata.

Banjo chuckle at the question" not quite their leader left them because he was a coward so I decided to used these bandits to my advantage in my business, you see I'm a weapons merchant and I will do anything just to get business done."

Naruto growled" so you're the one who sell those fire weapons to the bandits!"

"Shessh what's with the anger treatment I'm not a bad guy I'm just a business man, I needed the girl to sell my weapons to the people of the hidden waterfall village."

"Shibuki –san and his people will never waste their money buying your weapons" Hinata said.

Naruto's eyes widened before giving a glare to Banjo" unless they have his daughter making him take the decision, in consideration isn't that right that's your plan."

"Looks like you got me guilty as charge" Banjo smirked.

Naruto was holding his anger with the weapons merchant" you don't care about the bandits or the people of waterfall you only care about your money from buying your weapons, that's enough to make you happy you don't care if they kill each other with your weapons as long as you have your money."

"I am a business man after all my weapons are good quality so they have to pay me with good quality money."

"Naruto-kun…." Hinata was worried about her boyfriend seeing that he was angry.

"You….people like you are the reason that war occurs and hatred is unleashed on the world, people like you are the reason that the circle of hate continues to never end you bastard…" his eyes were now blood red.

Banjo raised an eyebrow" unleash hatred circle of hate I really don't understand what you're saying, but I do know that you two aren't leaving this place alive or with the girl…"

Banjo unstrapped his large weapon from his back and fired a powerful blast of lighting at the two jounins.

"Kaiten!" Hinata shouted using her great heavenly spin.

Her powerful spin of chakra blocked the lighting blast Banjo was about to fire his cannon again before he gasped seeing that Naruto was already in front of him with a spinning sphere of chakra in his hand.

"Rasengan!"

Banjo was hit by the powerful chakra sphere sending him to the far wall hitting it hard.

"Bastard!" Naruto growled his eyes were still red.

"Calm yourself Naruto-kun"

Hinata went to the cage to see the little girl was still sobbing and she was trembling. The poor thing looks like she was dying from cold temperature.

The Hyuga heiress smiled at her" don't worry were not going to hurt you it's all right."

The little girl took a step back she was still afraid of these people.

"It's all right Kaour-chan" Naruto got next to his girlfriend his eyes were back to normal.

"Who are you?" Kaoru said.

"Everything is going to be fine were from Konoha see" he pointed to his leaf headband.

"That's right you're father send us to rescue you" Hinata said.

Kaoru was smiling" daddy…."

"Yeah it's a good thing Shibuki send us before this bastard started selling his crap weapons to him" Naruto said glaring at the unconscious form of Banjo.

"Stand back Kaoru-san!" Hinata said as the little girl took a couple of steps back

Hinata destroyed the iron door using her gentle fist as Kaoru went to the tall blond noticing his whiskers.

"What's wrong Kaoru-chan?"

"You're Naruto…."

The blond was surprised" how do you know?"

The little girl smiled" because daddy told me about you and how you helped saved the village from meanies."

Naruto chuckle remembering when he helped Shibuki stopped the evil ninjas that wanted to take the hero's water when he was back in team seven" I see so you're dad already told you about me eh well how about if we take you to him?"

"Yay!" Kaoru gave a quick hug at Naruto while Hinata was smiling at the whole thing.

'I didn't know Naruto-kun was good with kids.'

"Come on Kaoru-chan let's get you out of here" Naruto said.

"You're not going anywhere!"

They gasped seeing Banjo back on his feet looking very angry. What shocked them the most that his stomach was half open because of Naruto's rasengan, but instead of his organs there were all sorts of wires on him. Everyone was shocked at the sight while Kaoru was horrified.

"Oh my…." Hinata was stun in disbelief.

"What the heck are you?!" asked the shocked Naruto.

Banjo grinned" it's a little complicated but let's just say that a long time ago I had a little accident and I had to be operated with machine parts."

"You're not human!" Hinata was shocked.

"You could say that I'm a special kind of human" the weapons merchant was still grinning.

"So you're a freak!" Naruto said.

"I preferred the term special person but anyway I'm not letting you leave this place with that girl, at least not alive…"

The blond jounin turned to his girlfriend" Hinata-chan take Kaoru-chan and leave this place I will handle him."

"What but Naruto-kun I can't let you fight him alone!" the Hyuga heiress was worried about her boyfriend.

"Don't tell me you no longer believe in me, I'll be fine I won't go down so easily you should know that believe it!"

Hinata nodded before taking Kaoru by her hand" be careful Naruto-kun let's get going Kaoru-san."

They started leaving the prison while Banjo was about to fire his lighting weapon" you're not going anywhere!"

He fired the lighting blast but Naruto quickly summoned a shadow clone taking the blast for his girlfriend and the little girl, he felt on his knees feeling the pain from his clone.

Banjo grinned" looks like you weren't so lucky to dodge my attack too bad."

Naruto quickly took a kunai which look different from the regular kunais, it was bigger and it had three pointy blades with a seal tag attached to it.

'Look like I have no choice but to use it.'

Banjo pointed his lighting gun at him" look like you won't be escaping this time farewell."

Naruto focus his chakra pointing the kunai at Banjo's leg, the inscriptions of the seal appeared on the same leg which the blond grinned. Just before Banjo fired his weapon Naruto instantly vanished appearing next to the weapons merchant in a blink of an eye.

Naruto pointed the three blade kunai on his neck making him gasped" it's over…"

"What the how the hell did you get next to me?! I didn't even notice you…"

"You won't understand and never will I'm hitting you with something stronger than rasengan, sorry but I'm getting rid of you."

Although Banjo was scare he still kept his cool" you want to kill me just because I'm trying to make some business I'm not doing anything wrong."

"That's complete and utter bullshit you have no heart you sell your weapons and you make people buy them from you with the purpose of using them against each other creating deaths and spilled blood. What you're doing is not a fair living but you're only causing meaningless wars, the same kind of wars that will breed new hatred and revenge and the same thing will continued over and over again. Like I said before people like you are the ones who cause the never ending circle of hate."

Banjo chuckle" look you obviously forgot the kind of world we live in, this is the ninja world hate, revenge, war and death those things will always follow in this kind of world you can't expect that this world we will live in complete peace and harmony, not as long as the ninja system controls this world it won't."

"You're right" the blond jounin replied creating a much bigger rasengan in his free hand" that's why I will find a way to break the never ending circle of hate and bring peace to the five countries believe it!"

Banjo chuckle" that's very amusing but I don't think you will find the answer."

"Odama rasengan!"

Banjo was hit by the powerful big sphere sending him crashing a wall his body was now in pieces. There were wires and blood everywhere.

"You're bleeding that means that you're human" Naruto said not taking his eyes off the weapons merchant.

Banjo coughed some blood before smirking" not anymore that accident I mentioned to you I was almost killed beaten half to death, the only way to have a chance at living again it was to have to an operation replacing my human part with robotic parts so I became half human half machine."

"Where are your weapons?" the blond jounin asked.

"I guess there's no harm in telling where they are since I'm going to die, they are in the storage room a not too far from here."

"Thanks…" Naruto was about to leave.

"Do you think you can accomplish that?" asked Banjo

"I think I can and I will" Naruto replied.

"You're that committed but the truth is that although what I was doing was wrong, people favor war that's how the history of man is it's all about war fueled by hate and the people that suffer because of their actions they favor hate and revenge so war will eventually follow. There is no way to stop war peace is only an illusion."

Naruto stood quiet before facing him again" I will find the answer for peace one way or the other, I'm not going to give up until I succeed in achieving it believe it!"

Banjo chuckle before coughing more blood" what's your name?"

"It's Uzumaki Naruto…"

"Uzumaki Naruto eh….good luck with that" those were his last words before he closed his eyes and died.

Naruto didn't wasted time as he left the prison area and went to the storage room, he quickly arrived at the sealed door and opening it using a rasengan to break it since it was locked. He saw it all with his cerulean eyes the whole storage room was filled with all kinds of weapons. There were fire weapons electrical weapons, even weapons that shoot kunais and shurikens faster than then average ninja can throw. He growled looking at the weapons of destruction and with a look of disgust he quickly threw a kunai with four paper bombs attached.

BOOM!!!

The whole room was destroyed but the destruction caused the whole cavern to start caving in. Naruto head for the life to leave the underground cavern, he just hope that he makes it in time.

(Outside of the hideout)

Hinata and Kaoru were waiting patiently for Naruto to come out of the hideout. Right now Hinata was losing her patience because she was worried sick about her boyfriend. She heard the explosion and she has been searching endlessly with her byakugan. She smiled feeling relief seeing a familiar chakra signature leaving the hideout which it was Naruto. The house crumbled to pieces because of the cave in from underground but luckily the blond jounin made it out in time. Hinata rushed to him and hugged him tightly while Naruto smiled returning the tight embrace.

He broke the hug" sorry Hinata-chan if I made you worry."

"It's all right Naruto-kun I'm just glad that you're all right" she replied with a smile.

Naruto had to sigh mentally he got used to getting hit by Sakura every time he did something reckless. Sakura hitting him was her way of showing concern, he mentally smiled he really missed her and her punches because in truth he was kind of a masochist. But with Hinata it was different she didn't get angry with him when he was about to do a reckless plan she will just get worry. Sometime he just wish his girlfriend would just hit him or a playful punch would be nice but she would just hugged him and cry in his arms. Not that he didn't mind the hugs, Hinata's hugs were nice but it wasn't enough to make him very happy compare to his pink haired teammate's antics.

"Well that takes care of that another mission done" Naruto said.

Hinata giggle" the mission is not complete until we return Kaoru-san to her home."

"You're right" the blond replied looking down at the little brunette" what do you say Kaoru-chan want to go home with daddy?"

"Yes I want to be with daddy I miss him!" cried Kaoru.

"Let's go then" Naruto smiled carrying the little girl on his back.

Hinata as she followed them out of the hideout jumping on the tree branches heading back to hidden waterfall village.

(Time skip: hidden waterfall village)

The people of the village have gathered when they heard that the ninjas of Konoha have returned. They started cheering seeing Naruto and Hinata, but what got them even happier was when they saw that Kaoru was all right and well. Ninjas from all rank gathered along with the civilians from genins, chunins and jounins they have come to witness that the little brunette was fine and she has missed her father a lot. Soon the leader of the village came to the gathered group, a man in his early twenties, wearing a long white cloak with the symbol of the hidden waterfall village with long brown hair and dark eyes. He smiled gazing at Naruto for his return and Kaoru who was running at him while she was crying.

"Daddy!" Kaoru went to her father giving him a bone crushing hug.

Shibuki accepted the hug of his beloved daughter while lifting her up and just like her he has missed her a lot. The people gathered around their leader along with Naruto and Hinata smiling happily at the family reunion.

Shibuki smiled at the blond" thank you very much Naruto I knew I could count on you to rescue my daughter."

"No problem Shibuki were always glad to help any ally village especially if it's yours, I sure missed on a lot I never thought you will have a daughter consider the last time I saw you" Naruto gave a smile at Kaoru.

The waterfall leader laughed" I guess it's been that long since we last met, a lot has happened since then as you can see with the village."

"It's very big" Hinata said gazing around the tall buildings.

"Whoa the village has really changed since the last time I was here when I was a genin."

"Daddy Naruto save me and Hinata saved me!" Kaoru said happily before gazing back at Naruto slight blush.

Shibuki smiled" I know sweetie but you shouldn't be blushing at Naruto like that don't tell me you have a crush on him."

The little girl only went behind her father shyly feeling embarrassed while Shibuki laughed along with Naruto.

Hinata put her hands on her waist feeling amuse at the scene" Kaoru-san please don't make me jealous Naruto-kun is already my boyfriend."

Everyone shared a laugh before Shibuki turned to the two Konoha ninjas" but anyway I humbly thank you rescuing my daughter from the bandits I'm sure you didn't had a problem dealing with them."

"Nah they were so weak I felt sorry for them, but rest assure that they won't be attacking your village again."

"Thank you now I can feel safe for the village" replied Shibuki.

"Shibuki-san will your village be safe with the damage done by the bandits?" asked Hinata.

"That will be all right we already fixed the damage done which it wasn't so much, so there's nothing to worry about our carpenters are fast and skilful."

"I guess everything is good I'm glad" Naruto said.

"Please Naruto Hinata I know that now that you're mission is over you have to return to Konoha, but I will be honored if you could stay the night in our village?"

The two Konoha ninjas looked at each other before looking back at the leader of waterfall.

"I guess we could stay the night what do you say Hinata-chan?"

"I guess its fine with me I will like to see more of your village Shibuki-san."

Shibuki smiled" thank you I'm very please everyone!" he called to his people" tonight we celebrate for our allies in Konoha!"

Everyone started cheering while Naruto was feeling hungry.

'I hope they have some ramen here.'

(Time skip: in a restaurant)

Shibuki decided to treat the two Konoha ninjas to a restaurant. It was the least he could do after they rescued his daughter. He also decided to pay for their food which Hinata friendly warned him that he shouldn't because of her boyfriends' inhuman appetite. But Shibuki insisted because he wanted to pay them back for saving his daughter. Hinata sighed she knew he was going to regret it later. Naruto was currently eating a hot bowl of ramen already liking the ramen from the restaurant of course to him no ramen was better than Ichiraku's. Hinata only ordered some cinnamon rolls which she paid with her own money because she didn't wanted to bother Shibuki, he has already wasted enough money on the ramen devouring machine seated next to her.

To say that Shibuki was shocked was a statement his mouth was wide open as well as his eyes. He never thought he would see someone eating so much ramen in his entire life. Naruto has eaten twenty bowls of ramen, he thought that maybe he had a bottomless stomach and he hope that this was his last bowl for his wallets sake. Yet people always learn from their mistakes and Shibuki has learned something valuable from Naruto.

'I am never treating him to ramen again' he sweat dropped.

Naruto finally finished his twenty bowl" boy the ramen here is good…"

"I'm glad you like it Naruto although it will be painful for my wallet."

The tall blond scratched the back of his head" sorry…"

"Anyway Shibuki-san thank you so much for inviting us here" Hinata said.

"I'm glad you both are you enjoying yourselves I know you did Naruto" Shibuki said with a sweat dropped.

"Sorry Shibuki but I was hungry" replied the blond jounin.

"I can see that…" the waterfall leader smirked before they shared a laugh.

"So Shibuki-san about Kaoru-san?" asked Hinata.

"Isn't she beautiful she's my pride and joy?" Shibuki replied smiling.

"She sure is I'm guessing she will be the future heiress of the village" Hinata said.

"That's right after I retire Kaoru will be the next leader of the village"

"That's great Shibuki I'm sure her mother is very proud of her" Naruto said.

Shibuki's eyes softened after hearing that while the two leaf jounins knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong Shibuki-san?" asked Hinata in concern.

"My wife Kaoru's mother is….dead…."

"I'm so sorry Shibuki-san" Hinata said.

"Yeah I'm sorry to hear that too I didn't know" Naruto said.

"It's all right you two I don't mind taking about her Fuu was a great fighter and a wonderful person, she was always thinking about the village and she loved Kaoru very much although she didn't care how terrible her past was."

"What do you mean?" asked the Hyuga heiress.

"Fuu didn't had a nice childhood because of the horrible burden she was given" replied the waterfall leader.

Naruto blinked feeling déjà vu at Shibuki's words' no it can't be.'

Shibuki continued" you see Fuu wasn't a normal person she was a jinchurikki."

Both Naruto and Hinata gasped at the revelation. Now Naruto knew why she was dead she was eventually capture and killed by Akatsuki when her Bijuu was extracted. Thinking about the organization made him wonder what they were doing or more precise what Madara was doing right now. He has heard from sources and Kakashi that they haven't heard from Akatsuki in three years, it's like they have vanished from existence of course that would be too good to be true. Hinata was gazing at her boyfriend obviously she was worried for him. She knew how he feels for being a jinchurikki too and how heavy the great burden to carry a tailed beast is.

"I see….so she was treated as an outcast I know that pain too."

"Why is that?" asked Shibuki.

Naruto smiled at him knowing that he wasn't going to hate him" because I'm a jinchurikki too."

"Really you're one too which Bijuu you have?" asked the waterfall leader.

"The Kyuubi" replied the blond jounin.

"So you have the nine tails the strongest of the Bijuus at least I met another jinchurikki, Fuu was the jinchurikki of the seven tails rhino beetle Shinchibi so she was in third place to possessed the strongest Bijuu."

"Her life was that bad?" asked Hinata.

Shibuki nodded" yes her childhood was basically being shun by the rest of the village and glared, most of the people ignored not minding talking to her like she didn't existed it was really painful to her that's why she never talked about her past…" his dark eyes softened thinking about his diseased wife.

Naruto nodded he understood that pain all too well, he remembered how the people of Konoha used to treat him before they acknowledge and they idolized him as the hero of the village. He remembered how hard he trained and how long it took him to gain the acknowledgement, trust and respect from the villagers which in the end all of his sacrifices were worth it.

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata was worried about her boyfriend.

"Don't worry Hinata-chan I'm fine"

Shibuki smiled" I remembered I used to watch her walking all alone in the village, Fuu will cry before the end of the day because how the villagers were always ignoring her. One day I decided to talk to her which she was shocked since she wasn't used to being talk to, after that we become friends. As time passed we became best of friends and inseparable, as we grew we eventually fall in love with one another. I didn't care that she a jinchurikki although I never saw her in battle using her Bijuu."

Hinata blushed a little" that's so nice you two were so close…"

"Yes I and Fuu have this powerful bond and we were always there for the other" replied Shibuki.

"I know about bonds too" Naruto said with his fox grin thinking about team seven.

"It took a while but eventually the villagers started liking Fuu and slowly they started accepting her as one of their own. They trusted and she became one of our most dedicated ninjas."

"They acknowledge her existence" Naruto said smiling.

Shibuki smiled" yes I remembered how happy she was to see the whole village putting their trust in her, after a long time me and Fuu got married and months later Kaoru was born, Fuu was the happiest person on the day of her birth."

Naruto grinned" of course you and Fuu got busy."

Shibuki blushed at his comment along with Hinata.

"Naruto-kun that's not nice" his girlfriend was embarrassed.

"But it's the truth" the blond gave an innocent smile.

"Naruto-kun" Hinata only shook her head.

Naruto sighed mentally at his girlfriends' behavior' Hinata-chan that's not the right thing to do you're supposed to hit me for being rude and a pervert I got used to Sakura-chan's punches I missed her…'

Shibuki cleared his throat changing the topic" in the one year that we're married I was the happiest man in the world that is until…." he trailed off thinking of a horrible day.

"Akatsuki" Naruto's eyes hardened at the mentioned of the organization.

"I suppose you know about them Naruto since you're a jinchurikki too."

"Yeah I have killed a couple of them they are only four members left however we haven't heard from them in years, the ANBU team assigned to search for them haven't found anything yet" Naruto said.

"I see Akatsuki ruined my life they took one of my most precious people I loved Fuu very much, I remember the day she was taken by Akatsuki I have had left on a mission to tea country but it was the biggest mistake in my entire life to leave the village on that day. When I returned to the village, it was a wrecked everything was destroyed like an explosion just occurred. One of my ninjas told me that the Akatsuki members that took Fuu one was riding on a white bird and he threw some kind of explosives and the other was very short but he could use his long tail like it was a whip."

Naruto nodded remembering the Akatsuki members' I see so it was Deidara and Sasori who captured Fuu'

"You have nothing to worry about Shibuki those two Akatsuki members are dead" replied the blond jounin.

"Really I'm glad to hear that at least I can rest better now to find out that Fuu has been avenged, I looked everywhere but I never found here until a week after she was captured. I and my ninjas found her body next to the waterfall that leads to the village, I was devastated and Kaoru was still just a baby."

"I'm sorry Shibuki-san" Hinata said.

"Akatsuki obviously killed her when they extracted the seven tails from her, that's what happens to all jinchurikkis when Bijuus are extracted from our bodies. Once a Bijuu is sealed a human host it bonds with the host becoming one with the Bijuu, and their chakra circulatory system as well as heart becomes connected with one another" Naruto said.

"So if one dies so does the other?" replied Shibuki.

"Yes and the same thing happen if the Bijuu is extracted from the human host."

"I guess without sounding cruel I guess jinchurikkis in the end are finally free from their horrible burden."

"You could say that even if the only way to get rid of our burden is through death" the blond replied.

"True but I knew Fuu very well and I know that she was happy that she was a jinchurikki, when she was younger she thought it was a horrible punishment for her that she hated it. But she died without any regrets she was glad she became a jinchurikki."

"Why in the world would she say such a thing?!" Naruto was shocked.

"I asked her the same question after we got married and she told me that it's because that she was a jinchurikki that she met me her most important and precious person ever. I believed her and I was happy to hear that, now I have a wonderful daughter because of Fuu and I have no regrets."

"Good for you Shibuki-san I'm glad you chose to be a father, Kaoru-san deserves all the happiness and the love from her father especially when her mother is gone" Hinata said smiling.

"Yes I agree too well it's getting late I would like if you two can spend the night here before heading back to Konoha."

"I guess we can stay in the night here Shibuki" Naruto said.

"Yes we will be honored" Hinata replied.

"Thank you I have already made reservations at our inn it's the most expensive inn in the whole village, I hope you all had a pleasant night"

"Thanks Shibuki we will" Naruto said.

"I have to go I have duties to attend to once again thank you both of you for saving my daughter" Shibuki said.

"No problem Shibaku" replied the blond.

The leader of waterfall nodded before leaving the restaurant.

(Time skip)

On their way to the inn the couple has been walking at a slow pace noticing that it was getting dark. They didn't mind staying the night in the village before returning to Konoha. However they haven't said a word for various reasons, Hinata was caught in how beautiful the hidden waterfall village looks in night. Naruto was in deep thought remembering what Shibuki told him. His diseased wife and jinchurikki Fuu was actually happy that she was a demon container because she met Shibuki of her fate being a jinchurikki. He thought about himself was it the same with him? Is it because he was a jinchurikki that he met his friends and they became his precious people. That couldn't be he would still be born as a regular human being, without being a jinchurikki he would have never being treated so coldly by the villagers. He would've still meet Iruka and his friend from the academy not to mention team seven and Kakashi.

There was no need to be thinking about the cruel past. He was happy now the village treated different he was now the hero of Konoha, and he was the first ninja to be promoted from genin to jounin which it was abig achievement in Konoha history. His friends care about him and he had a wonderful girlfriend. Even if deep in his heart he thought that she wasn't the one he wants. He didn't know why Hinata was kind, strong, and cheery and she has also changed some of her timid ways when she got together with him so why would he feel like this. It was simple to Uzumaki Naruto there was only one girl he has always love deeply and truly ever since he was little. She was the girl with the cheery blossom colored haired and a wide charming forehead. Even after his three year relationship with the Hyuga heiress he missed her a lot and he wanted in pure secrecy. But he knew it was impossible now that she was together with Sasuke, the boy that she have always love and he was happy for her even if it was killing him on the inside as always.

Naruto saw Sakura at the hospital reception desk, she didn't look like she was busy. He needed to talk to her because he just found out that she and Sasuke have gotten together. The sixteen year old took a breath before heading to her at the same time he was feeling his heart breaking with each step he took.

"Sakura-chan…."

The sixteen year old turned to see him smiling at her of course it was the usual Uzumaki Naruto fake smile to hide his pain.

Sakura gave him her own fake smile" hey Naruto how are you doing?"

"I'm fine I can see that you're happy let me guess you and teme got together" the blond was still holding his fake smile.

The pink haired medic smiled putting some of her hair on her back" I guess the rumors spread faster than usual in Konoha's gossip network, let me guess was it Ino who told you?"

Naruto jus gave his fox grin" yeah you know she's very good in gossiping."

"I should it know" replied Sakura with a sigh" well I won't lie to you yes we recently got together a week ago."

"Congratulations Sakura-chan I guess in the end you finally have the guy you have always like isn't that right?"

'Not really' Sakura thought sadly looking at him thinking that she wanted him and not the Uchiha.

Sakura put her own smile" what about you? I heard you got together with Hinata."

Naruto almost face faulted at the comment" Ino told you too didn't she?"

The pink haired chunin giggle" yup you already know how Ino likes to gossip she's the gossip pig of the village."

Naruto chuckle at her comment" you're right I guess in the end were both happy…"

Sakura nodded" yes we are I think we both deserve some happiness after everything we've been through especially you Naruto…"

Naruto was quiet his cerulean eyes softened like he was thinking about something else of course Sakura notice his behavior all of the sudden.

"What's wrong Naruto?"

"Huh oh it's nothing I guess I space out for a moment."

Sakura frowned" don't lie to me Naruto if there's something bothering you then tell me all right, I'm your friend right?"

"Yeah of course you're my friend Sakura-chan but nothing is wrong with me…"

The pink haired medic was getting upset" you're still lying to me what's wrong Naruto tell me?"

The blond finally sighed in defeat" it's just that…..I'm afraid Sakura-chan…."

"Afraid of what?"

Naruto paused before gazing into her beautiful jade eyes" I'm afraid that now that we have other people important in our lives…..I'm afraid that I will lose your friendship and the strong bond that we both share will be gone I really don't want to lose you Sakura-chan. I want to continue caring for you because you're that important to me and I hope you feel the same way too…"

Sakura's eyes widened at his comment that's what's being bothering him. He was afraid to lose her friendship because it meant so much to him that she was his friend. Even if she was a little disappointed because deep in her heart she wanted to more than just his friendship but she knew that the blonds' heart was now off limits to her. No he was wrong he will never lose her even if he marries Hinata she will continue to love him probably forever.

"Never….don't you ever think that Naruto we will always be friends no matter what, our friendship will never die even if we have other precious people with us you will always be my friend" she replied holding the urge to cry.

Naruto was feeling all better now and he was smiling happily at her" thanks Sakura-chan and you will always be my friend no matter what believe it!"

"Just remember if you need some advice or some conform I will always be there for you" Sakura said.

"Me too Sakura-chan you know I will always be there for you" he gave his fox grin.

"Well I better go I promise Hinata to take her to Ichiraku's by Sakura-chan"

"Bye Naruto"

The blond left the reception desk but he never noticed the tears that were falling from Sakura's eyes.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata called out to her boyfriend.

"Huh what….what's wrong Hinata-chan?"

"You tell me you're the one who just space out for a moment."

"Oh it's nothing….I guess I was thinking about the past that's all…"

"Naruto-kun I have already told you not to think about the past anymore it's gone and it's done" she make sure he was looking at her.

"I know I know and I'm sorry Hinata-chan but what matters now is the present that's what you always told me."

"Exactly right now is what all matters the most, but I can sense that something is still bothering you."

"What no nothing is bothering me I'm fine really."

Hinata giggle as she started doing small circles on his chest" now Naruto-kun don't lie to me I think I have a pretty good idea what's wrong with you."

"You do?" the blond raised an eyebrow.

The Hyuga heiress nodded" I know exactly what you need, since were staying in a inn together for the night, then tonight it will be pleasure night" she finished in husky whisper.

Naruto blushed before he grinned pulling his girlfriend closer" Hinata-chan you naughty girl you just said exactly what I need."

Hinata kissed his lips softly while breaking away smiling seductively at her boyfriend" let's get going then."

Naruto watched as Hinata started walking off sensually shaking her hips making sure he noticed what she has to offer to him.

Grinning like a pervert he followed his girlfriend to the inn' this is exactly what I need.'

(Time skip: nightfall at the inn)

Naruto was seated in one of the two beds of the room. He was on his boxers and he had a big smile on his face since it's been a while that he has had some fun with his girlfriend. After three years in his relationship with Hinata they have already shared some intimacy. They have already practice oral sex and mutual masturbation, however they still haven't done the next level of intimacy since both of them weren't ready yet. Tonight was his turn to get some oral from his girlfriend which it's exactly what he needs right now. He admits that Hinata has some skills in oral which only made him grinned like his perverted teacher Jiraiya. He was getting a little anxious even his manhood was increasing in size thinking about the oral session in store for him. He finally snapped from his fantasy as he saw the door to the bathroom opening and came out his girlfriend.

"Are you ready Naruto-kun?" Hinata said in a sexy tone walking closer to him.

Naruto blushed while having a small nose bleed. Hinata was wearing a small purple tank top showing her amazing wrack. After three years Hinata's breasts have grown in size reaching an E cup, she didn't had a choice but to wear bindings and even with the bindings her breasts were still very noticeable. She was also wearing regular white panties which she look hot in them. The Hyuga heiress got seated next to him as she caressed his whiskers marks looking very seductively at him.

Hinata giggle at his behavior" now now Naruto-kun don't get shy I don't want you hiding behind a tree the little shy Hinata is gone forever and there's only the new me."

Naruto grinned" who said anything about being shy?"

The blond pulled her closer to him giving her a passionate which Hinata moaned at the contacts of their lips. Naruto's tongue begged for entrance on Hinata's mouth and she complied letting his tongue explore further ahead. Pretty soon their tongues were dancing while they were moaning in each other's mouths. Naruto who was in full control of his hormones broke the kiss while pulling up Hinata's tank top revealing her massive melons. He started fondling them while pinching her right nipple, at the same time he gave them a nice squeeze. Hinata felt the sensations as she started moaning loudly at her boyfriends' ministrations.

"Naruto-kun ooooooohhhh….ahhhhh….Naruto-kun…wait….ooohhhhhh your tongue!!!"

The horny blond was now ravaging her breasts like there's no tomorrow. He did all kinds of ministrations to her nipples. He kissed, licked, blow and sucked Hinata's nipples. When he was satisfy with the right one he did the same ministrations to her left nipple. Of course he wasn't going to abandon her right breast as he was now fondling squeezing it while pinching her nipple. Hinata was losing control of herself as she continued to moan loudly her boyfriends' name begging for more. His ministrations had a big effect on her body as she was getting very wet in her private place between her legs. When Naruto was done with her nipples he was still fondling her breast feeling them like they were two big round soft pillows and it felt very good to touching them, Hinata finally managed to control herself as she stopped her sex hungry boyfriend although she was disappointed herself.

"Hinata-chan…what's wrong?" asked the hormones control Naruto.

Hinata gave him a fake scolding expression" bad Naruto-kun you're so naughty I never told you to do that to me…"

Naruto gulped believing her angry expression" I'm so sorry Hinata-chan I didn't know what came over me…."

Hinata giggled" silly I'm not angry with you but tonight I'm the one who's suppose to give you pleasure not you now sit back and relax let me take care of everything."

The Hyuga heiress got on her knees and she smiled seeing the big tent forming in her boyfriends' boxers. It seems that his hunger on her breasts has really turned him on a lot and it was a good sign. Without any shame or embarrassment Hinata pulled down his boxers revealing his twelve inch cock. She was still blushing she has done plenty of times with Naruto and yet she still couldn't get used of seeing his hard cock. Naruto was very impressive in size and the way it was throbbing in anticipation it was enough to make her licked her lips in hunger. She grabbed the huge pillar of flesh with one hand making the tall blond in front of her gasped. She smiled while giving it a few strokes making him moaned a little.

Hinata started by giving the wonderful big cock a few kisses. She kissed every single part Naruto's cock all the way to the shaft and the very tip. Naruto moaned at her actions and he loves how much she will tease him before going to the main event. After she was done with the kisses she grabbed it with one hand seeing that it was throbbing more than ever. She started giving it a couple of licks outside, it was the same way with the kisses. She licked the big pillar of flesh all the way down reaching the shaft and the tip. This action was enough to make Naruto moaned even louder, the feeling of Hinata's tongue licking every part of his cock was so amazing.

"Ahhh…Hinata-chan shit….please go already put it in your mouth!"

Hinata stopped her licking while giving her blond boyfriend a smile" all right Naruto-kun I'll make sure to work my tongue and my mouth!"

Finally Hinata stopped her teasing and went to the main event. She slowly took Naruto's twelve inch cock into her mouth in a very slow matter. Naruto groaned as he felt his girlfriends' mouth entering his pillar of flesh it felt so good. Hinata started sucking very slowly working both her tongue and her mouth. She couldn't suck his cock completely because her throat wasn't long enough to take the twelve inch rod. Naruto moaned as the Hyuga heiress was picking up the pace on her sucking, she was very good using her tongue and mouth. He moaned louder Hinata was going all out on him with her sucking.

"Ahhhh…damn it Hinata-chan…it feels so good….please use your breasts!"

Hinata removed her mouth from his throbbing cock while smiling at him. If there's one thing that her boyfriend love about oral sex is that she used her breasts giving him a tit job.

She smiled sweetly at him" all right Naruto-kun!"

She grabbed her E cup breasts before sandwiching them between his twelve inch pillar of flesh, Naruto was smiling at how good it feels to have his cock between his girlfriends' big breasts. Soon she started moving up her melons on Naruto's cock making him moaned. She added the bonus of licking the tip of his shaft it was her reward to him for being such a good boyfriend. Naruto moaned louder he couldn't take it anymore it wouldn't be long before he reaches his climax. However looking down at Hinata who was giving the oral pleasure he has complete replace her image with another woman. A certain pink haired medic nin. The image of Sakura sucking his cock while giving him a tit job at the same time made him moaned even louder and it was finally happening he was about to blow.

"Ahhh…I'm about to….come!!!"

"Yes Naruto-kun go ahead come for me!" Hinata exclaimed happily as she speed up her ministrations on his cock.

A couple of strokes from Hinata's voluptuous breasts and a couple of lickings to his shaft and it seems the blond jounin has reached the end of the line for.

"Ahhhhhhhh….I'M COMING!!!"

Hinata moaned in pleasure as she really felt the powerful torrent. Her face was hit by a shower of hot thick cum and she really like it a lot. She started cleaning herself from her boyfriends' seed, but she wasn't going to waste the white sticky cum. She took all in her mouth swallowing the hot essence once she was done she licked her lips at the great taste before gazing at the pleasurable look on her boyfriends' face after having his orgasm.

Hinata gave a couple of licks to his cock cleaning it from any remaining cum before smiling sweetly at him" how was that Naruto-kun?"

Naruto smiled at her" that was great Hinata-chan you were amazing!"

"I'm glad I guess practice makes perfect."

Naruto chuckle while pulling his boxers up" you know Hinata-chan maybe we should spend another day in this village I'm sure Shibuki won't mind, so we could stay in this inn and I can show you my skills with my tongue and fingers."

The Hyuga heiress blushed knowing how good her boyfriend is when it comes to giving her oral sex" as much as I want to we can't we have to returned to Konoha, the Hokage won't happy if we don't arrive soon to give in the mission report."

Naruto pouted like a little kid" fine…."

Hinata pulled her tank top down covering her breast while giving her boyfriend a sweet kiss on his lips" time for bed Naruto-kun."

"Yeah"

The couple went to their rightful beds before they fell asleep. However before Naruto closed his eyes and drifted to sleep he was thinking about the woman who keeps hunting his dreams and desires. The pink haired medic nin how he wanted to hold her and kissed her. He knew it was never going to happen since she was together with his best friend, but as long as she was happy he was happy while on the inside his heart was shattered.

'Sakura-chan….'
