adngo714: I know they don't have the same strength, that last part was for comedic effect, reason why this story has humor as one of the genres

Thanks guys/gals for the reviews!

Understanding

After the incident of Hinata's confession to Naruto, he was sent once again to the hospital. However due to his previous injuries just the week before, this time he had to stay another month although he'd woken up after two weeks, the fox refusing to heal him. Kurama's reason being he didn't want to.

Kurama actually felt sorry for the girl despite usually not caring for anyone but as a general rule, he'd take care of Naruto's precious people, he wouldn't, however, take care of Naruto for the dense idiot that he was being.

That being said, Naruto had woken up on the third last day thinking about Hinata's words to him and the other three's reactions.

/"I, I like y-your personality a-and I like how you l-look and basically I just like you in general!" She stammered out, she was bowing to hide her embarrassment./

"I like Sakura... Her pretty pink hair, her glowing green eyes, she's such a nice person but she has never stopped loving Sasuke, her beauty is... " He had spoken aloud but his thoughts once again drifted over to the dark haired woman that was his friend, Hinata Hyuga.

'She is beautiful, sure, her long silky hair with her pretty, fair skin along with those round white eyes would make any guy like her if it was for just appearances alone... I said I liked her as a friend but what was up with Sakura, Ino, and Tenten? I'lll have to find out later I guess..' Naruto thought more confused than before.

/You really are stupid aren't you, brat?/ Kurama thought to himself. He could see what Naruto truly felt himself but the blond didn't realize it in that think skull of his

After geting released from the hospital several days later, Naruto instead of heading home, decided to go to the old training grounds where he and his former team used to train. He walked up one of the larger trees and laid down on one of the larger limbs, relaxing as he stared at the clouds lazily moving past.

His heart twinged, but he wasn't sure if it was at the thought of never being able to gain Sakura's affection or if it was because of him somehow hurting Hinata when all of a sudden he was jolted out of his thoughts as he fell out of the tree.

He manouvered in the air and landed on his feet, in an attack position when he realized it was just Ino.

"Oh hey Ino, what do you want?" Naruto spoke, relaxing against the tree.

"You are an idiot but I have to ask, who do you like?" Her eyes narrowing as Naruto thought about the answer.

"I like Sakura of course, why do you guys keep bringing this up?" Naruto answered, puzzled.

"Dear god, I feel so sorry for Hinata.." Ino said, shaking her head she walked away.

Losing it at the indirectness of the situation, Naruto screamed in frustration. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" The scream reverberated throughout the entire village causing flocks of birds to take flight. Many people turned their heads to the direction of the sound and just shrugged it off, thinking it was Might Guy and Rock Lee again.

Naruto decided to get a meal at Ichiraku's in order to get it off his mind so he left the training grounds. As he was heading there, he noticed Sakura and Tenten not far off talking to each other, waving at them, he continued but as he left them, he overheard then saying the same as what Ino had said. (I feel so sorry for Hinata, Naruto is such a jerk for doing that to her.)

Growling, he ran the rest of the way. Upon arrival, he loudly ordered,"Hey Old man! Three miso porks with extra meat!" He sat down and banged his head on the counter, still confused as to why the three girls were talking about him and Hinata. He couldn't get it out of his mind now that all three of the girls continued to talk about it added to the fact that he hadn't even seen Hinata since he woke up. He'd remebered hearing about how she'd followed him a lot when they were younger by Kiba and he was right when he sensed her following him once after they cleared up the battle against Pain so long ago, but now it didn't even happen so what did he do?

He sighed and dove in to his noodles with half his normal enthusiasm, finished, payed, and left. Naruto was annoyed and with those thoughts he couldn't stand it anymore and went back to the grounds where he blasted dozens of trees apart with Rasenshuriken. After getting tired, he went back home hoping to just sleep away the confusion.

As he reached the door to his place, he saw Sakura standing, waiting. Hoping he didn't do another thing to incur her wrath, Naruto spoke up, catching her attention, "H-hey Sakura, wh-what are y-you doing here?" He stuttered in fear of getting hit again by her monstrous punches.

"I'll tell you this directly, I know you said you like me, it's not as if you haven't told me or anyone else before, but do you not realize what Hinata said to you before?" Sakura said sharply.

"No! I don't! All I keep getting are cryptic answers or questions! I thought she said she liked me as a friend!" Naruto yelled in frustration.

"Wow you really are one dense idiot, SHE SAID SHE LIKES YOU, MORON! SHE LIKES YOU LIKE YOU THINK YOU LIKE ME!" Sakura shouted back hoping her words finally got to the blond. If he said another stupid thought, she'd send him to his parents.

The indignant cries of the people trying to sleep rang out but other than that there was silence as Naruto tried to make sense of what Sakura just said. "W-what? What do you mean she likes... Do I like her?..."

Sakura didn't say anything but knew he'd need time so she held his shoulder for a moment and wandered off, giving a knowing smile to Hinata who was hiding behind a tree as she passed. Hinata let out a small sound and disappeared, waiting for Sakura to not be around when she made her reappearance. A few minutes later she went and climbed up to where Naruto was standing, still mumbling about Hinata liking him.

Hinata tapped him on the shoulder which made him jump but then he realized she was there instead of Sakura. "Naruto, y-you can tell me what you feel tomorrow okay? I won't hold it against you if you say no..." With that, Hinata ran away, hoping with her heart and soul that he'd say the opposite.

Naruto having been brought out of his trance, "I am such a jerk!" He said, and went inside, changed and went to bed, thinking properly again. He said the words he'd been repeating earlier. "Hinata.. Likes me..." He said slowly, a sort of warmth began to cover his heart. "Hinata likes me." He said again, more sure of the words than before. The warmth spreading to the rest of his body as one more thought ran through his mind before he began laughing loudly.

I like Hinata!

His laughter started out slowly before it became louder and louder as the warm realization of his heart spread to every part of his body. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHA..Ha..ha... She really does like me?..."

Finally understanding, Naruto smiled lightly and fell asleep.

I like Hinata!

Wow that took some effort to write, just trying to write romance of any sort is difficult when no such thing has been experienced by the writer themself, luckily I've read a lot of half romance fanfiction and specific good romance/action movies by now, hope you enjoyed this! Tell me what you think! I'll see ya guys later!
