Chapter 3: News

As soon as the sun started to set, Shino then decided "I hope it's clear to everyone that since i'm team leader, i've decided that we all should rest and give ourselves some energy before tomorrow." Naruto, like the outburst kid he still is growled in frustration.. "I don't like this one bit Shino. The more we wait, the more the land of the hidden mist could be in danger or worst..tortured." He looked down, a torn up expression filled with misery written across his face.

"I know how much you care about them Naruto, but the opponents that we might even face can have chakra levels that are up the scales and can easily take advantage of any misleading actions we present to them. That includes the akatsuki members that are heading out to look for you, Naruto." Naruto, clenched his fists and responded back with bitter words. "I-i know."

Hinata kept her distance near Sakura, Kiba, and Akamaru while listening to Shino's instructions. She was tempted to just leave and run away as far away as possible, noticing how far the forest can be and just not confront her problems as a shinobi. But, of course, her Hyuga dignity is far too strong and she will not step out of the village anytime soon until she hears Naruto's apology.

Soon as Shino was able to get everybody's approval, everyone began to unpack their sleeping bags while Kiba took care of the fire and Naruto left to gather up some wood. Hinata made sure she left her sleeping bag close near Sakura, but noticed how there was so much space next to her and how there was a possibility that Naruto would end up setting up his sleeping bag next to hers. "Please Kiba, just finish up already." Her gentle voice screamed in the back of her mind, but noticed Kiba was having trouble lighting it up.

Naruto came back with the wood and layed it across where Kiba was and he snickered at Kiba, "Hehe, what's wrong Kiba? Having trouble with a little fire?" "Shut up! I'd like to see you try, jerk!" Naruto shrugged at him and got his sleeping bag and rolled it next to Hinata's. It was a mere inches away from her, but it felt like hell to Hinata. "Why K-kami?" Her face reddened as she finally saw Kiba lit up the fire. Everyone was soon sitting crossed legged and the leader already had a tired look on his face as his eyelids were becoming heavy.

Sakura was carrying food pills and handed one to Hinata, "Here you go Hinata, a food pill." She then tossed one to Naruto and the rest of the gang, "Hey, catch! They're food pills."

"Thanks Sakura." Naruto responded.

Although it made Hinata felt like covering her ears from Naruto's voice, she tried to just imagine another teammate for her to listen to but it failed every time his name was mentioned. If Naruto was sure to make another move on her, she'd surely give him another piece of her mind. Whether he's a jinchuriki or someone that acquired some sort of rare aptitude that was a part from her, he is a shinobi and every one has a limit to their crimes. All she could do for now is settle inside her sleeping bag and turn her back from Naruto.

Everyone was soon sound asleep and the only thing that could be heard was the crackling of the fire. But, something was taunting Hinata's back and Hinata tried to force herself not to look back at the blonde boy's devilish, handsome face. No matter how hard she tried to sleep, her instinct told her that someone was awake.

"Psst, Hinata. C-could you get a little closer, it's really cold." Naruto whispered, trying not to wake up the rest of the group members with his loud, annoying voice. "Ignore him, Hinata. Just ignore him." Her figure trembled just as he asked what he wanted from her. No matter how hard it was to conceal her feelings.. It was too complex for her to hide such hatred, painful, dull vengeance experience she had with him. And, it wasn't something she'd also let go of that easy. "I know you're awake.." She heard him mumble. Kami, the way he mumbled only left her with the benefit of the doubt and all she wanted to do was let bygones be bygones and let herself be consumed by his lust for her in his arms.

After a few minutes of silence, Naruto knew she wouldn't budge.

Hinata could hear Naruto ruffling with his sleeping bag as his presence got nearer. All she could do was keep her chakra levels under control and prevent Naruto from noticing that she was well aware of him. He scooted closer to her sleeping bag and kept gawking at the beautiful body that laid under the quilt. The way it outlined her figure was just enough to make him sigh with desire. His eyes were slanted and he decided to keep the peace between them like that without bothering her.

Hinata knew that she was going to have a long time sleeping. After what felt like mere, tortuous hours passing by, her body just wanted to lay on her other side because of how stiff her body has become. By this time, Naruto should be asleep right? She shivered at the thought of just her and Naruto awake in the middle of the night. Her head throbbed and her body was screaming for her to turn her body to the other side. As soon as she turned, her eyes met with his oceanic ones that were narrowly staring at hers. The ones that were invoking her to drown in and have her heart racing. She couldn't help but let her adrenaline take over her body and stress herself by having fear course through her veins.

She laid her head against her elbow and was not about to give up her strength against him and stared back with as much intensity her eyes could transmit to him.

"I knew you were awake, Hinata-chan.." He mumbled once more.

They both stared at each other and it felt like an infinite genjutsu of him just glazing at her body with his heart-wrenching eyes. Hinata stood still, but soon noticed Naruto closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep. And, before she knew it, slumber took over her and the sun started to set as the leader started to awake everyone.

"Now come on youthful beings, wake up before you waste all your years wasting your time sleeping. The day is long and i'm not getting any younger."

"And, here i thought you were just a stubborn old man. You're beginning to sound like might guy as the days progress," Sakura's mind pondered as she slowly got up and rubbed her eyelids. "Hm, where's Naruto?" She questioned as she looked around. Hinata was also curious to where he was as soon as she woke up and her mind slowly processed her surroundings. She noticed that Naruto's sleeping bag was farther away than before she fell asleep.

"W-was it a d-dream? B-but, i know Naruto was asleep right near me before i had gone to rest.." Hinata pondered.

As impatient as the leader was, he responded.. "He's up there!" He pointed up at the tree branch Naruto was standing as he stared at the sun setting east. The colors were alive and so was the team ready for the journey that laid ahead of them."Now, come one now! We haven't gotten all day." Hinata looked up at his direction and felt her face reddened as she looked at Naruto's poster. "So much potential, but least amount of dignity.." She told herself as she looked down with sadness.

Naruto walked down, infusing his chakra against the surface of the tree before he reached the ground. He started walking next to Hinata and saw in the corner of his eye how her eyes were drooping with dread. "Hey, what's wrong Hinata-chaan?" He placed the palm of his hand on her shoulder and her face became clouded with an emotionless expression as she hid her eyes behind her bangs.

Before she could retort an answer back to him, she felt a bile of vomit starting to reach her esophagus and she ran away from Naruto's view and retreated herself behind a tree and let out all the debris that she consisted of inside her stomach. Although Sakura was observing them from afar, she menacingly started to get closer to Naruto. "N-narutoo." She said as she pounded her fist once more. "N-no, it's not what it looks like Sakura-chan! I was just making sure she was o-" POUND. "W-why me!?"

His tears ran down like a pouring waterfall.

Sakura made her way towards where Hinata was hunched over, wiping a bit of vomit that covered the corner of her mouth. "Are you alright, Hinata?" Hinata nodded and responded back, "I just feel a bit s-sick.."

"Let me heal you and don't say no because we're not moving until you recupperate.." She reassured her. Hinata let her use her medical ninjutsu to heal her abondemen and Sakura let out a gasp. "H-hinata, we need to talk.." She helped Hinata go to a secluded area and made sure that no one else was near them. She was sure that Shino must have been getting help from Naruto and Kiba putting out the wood and not leaving any traces behind, so they don't have a chance of being followed. "Hinata-chan, have you been intimate with anyone lately..?"

Hinata had her face flushed crimson and her head began to throb as her legs started to tremble.. She could feel her adrenaline rise as she was afraid to answer back. She nodded her head forcefully, but hesitant. "Well, this may be the wrong time to tell you Hinata-chan but.. Congratulations you're pregnant." She smiled and embraced Hinata in a hug. "Th-this c-can't be.." "Now Hinata-chan, you can't be providing your baby any stress hormones or else you'll lose your baby, alright? So, no fainting and control your adrenaline."

It has only been a day and she felt nausea already taking over her. Now, she will not protect one life but two as well.. She wanted to break down right then and there but she was going to have to suck it up and be a big girl from now on. Of course, she wasn't going to let Naruto know. Atleast not yet, since she would have to keep it a secret. "P-please don'ttellanyone, Sakura chan!" She rushed her words out and Sakura cocked her head to the side. "Oh, sure Hinata."

Hinata then stared at the bright, blue sky and enjoyed the view as they began to walk. It seemed like a very long road ahead of them as she used her byakugan to see how far would they need to reach the land. And to her, it felt like if it will be a decade that will lead them away from the many trees that surrounded them and the only thing that guide them was the narrow road ahead.

Shino then sensed another form's energy chakra close. Since he was the leader of the group, he stood his hand out to motion everyone to come to a halt. Before Naruto was about to complain where they were heading, Kiba shut his mouth before he let the enemy find out they have noticed their presence. "No more playing hide and seek, show yourself." Kiba remarked at the empty distance before them.

It was none other than Itachi Uchiha.
