Naruto dreamed about Sasuke that night, but it wasn't the same as the dreams that had tormented him for the past three years. In the dream he was with Hinata searching for Sasuke, when they eventually found him he was held captive by Orochimaru who was just waiting until he could take Sasuke's body and gain the sharingan he had always desired. Hinata released Sasuke from the chakra-draining cell that he was locked in while Naruto fought with Orochimaru. When Sasuke was free he joined the fight along with Hinata, Sasuke had grown immensely during the three years with Orochimaru, and he was almost a match for the legendary Sannin, but they could not protect Hinata from Orochimaru's wrath and eventually Orochimaru managed to trap Hinata with one of his snakes.

"Leave now or I'll have two new test subjectsss" said Orochimaru hissing his s's. Seeing Hinata's life in danger made Naruto explode with rage, reaching into the nine-tailed fox's chakra he gained seven tails in less than a second.

"Let her go and your death will be quick and painless," said Naruto menacingly. Orochimaru just smiled and licked his lips, this was a terrible mistake which made Naruto snap, even Sasuke's sharingan couldn't see his movements but in less than a hundredth of a second Orochimaru was pinned to the wall with Naruto's hand on his throat, Naruto readied his rasengan but then decided that would be to quick and painless, instead he just smiled and crushed Orochimaru's throat with his hand. They left Orochimaru to choke on his own blood and triumphantly began the journey back to Konoha.

Naruto woke up smiling and thinking about the dream, it had been his best ever and he wished it were true. Then he turned over and saw Hinata smiling at him.

"Was last night real?" Hinata asked.

"Of course it was" Naruto replied smiling back.

"Even the part when you said you loved me?" questioned Hinata.

"Yes even that." Confirmed Naruto, heart beating fast. Hinata let out a little squeal of joy and glomped Naruto. Laughing Naruto hugged her back.

"You are the cutest girl ever Hinata!" he whispered in her ear.

"I've loved you for so long Naruto-kun" she whispered back.

"I know, sorry it took me so long to realize." He replied, Hinata kissed him on the lips, "don't apologize," she said when she pulled away. Hinata suddenly smiled brightly, "what do you want for breakfast Naruto-kun?" she asked.

"I'll make breakfast for you! Don't make it for me!" Naruto exclaimed.

"You got dinner so now it's my turn" insisted Hinata with a cute smile.

"Alright then. How can I refuse when you're so cute?" Naruto said. Hinata got up and went to the kitchen and started cooking bacon, upstairs she heard the shower start, suddenly she thought of something that she had never imagined thinking before. But the thought quickly disappeared from her mind. They were only sixteen anyway, that could wait.

Hinata had just put breakfast out when Naruto came down with wet hair.

"Bacon!" Naruto shouted excitedly, without hesitating he began to eat. Within a minute his breakfast was gone, Hinata took a bit longer, but she was quicker than usual because she was starving after all the excitement.

"Thank you for breakfast cutie" said Naruto "what are we going to do today?"

"I don't have anything I need to do and I don't mind, so you choose!" replied Hinata.

"I still need to catch up with everyone, I was thinking of seeing Ino and Sakura, but if you want to do something else I can wait to see them." Naruto said.

"I don't want you to stop seeing friends because of me, let's go and see Ino and Sakura." Hinata said. Really she would of preferred spending the day alone with Naruto but she didn't want people thinking they were doing things they weren't.

"If you're all ready then let's go then." Said Naruto.

Five minutes later Naruto knocked on the door of the house Ino and Sakura shared, after ten seconds Ino opened the door. When she saw Naruto she smiled, he could be annoying but the village got dull without him around.

"Hey Naruto, hope you're training wasn't just perving."

"Tsunade said that as well!" said Naruto, "there's no way I would help ero-sennin with his research!"

"I'm sure you could be convinced" said Ino, then she shouted back inside

"Sakura hurry up! Naruto and Hinata are waiting!" Sakura appeared after another minute. "Sorry I was just cleaning up Ino's mess" she said poking Ino.

"You could of left it for me to do later" Ino replied smiling.

"Hinata nice to see you with Naruto!" Sakura said looking at the lavender-eyed girl. "Nice to see you too Sakura." Replied Hinata. "Does this mean Naruto finally realized? Are you two together?" asked Ino hoping it had finally happened.

"Y-yes we a-are" said Hinata shyly. She then went bright red and hid behind Naruto. "Hinata you're so adorable! Don't be embarrassed" said Sakura. Hinata slowly came out from behind Naruto still blushing.

"What are we gonna do?" asked Ino.

"I was going to ask you that!" said Naruto, "are there any movie's you want to watch?" "Now that you mention it there is a new horror I really want to see." Said Sakura, knowing Hinata would be cute during the movie.

"Then let's go see that" said Naruto.

Within five minutes they were walking into the cinema,

"4 adults for Paranormal Activity" said Naruto.

He paid for the tickets and got popcorn for everyone. When they were sitting down Naruto whispered

"I hate how you're an adult after 13, it's just wrong"

"Well you didn't need to pay for everyone," replied Ino "although I suppose you've got rich from selling those pervy novels."

"Hey! I'd never help ero-sennin with that, my money is all legitimately earned" said Naruto.

"Sure it is Naruto" replied Sakura. The movie got up to a scary part and Hinata hid her face against Naruto's chest.

"Hinata!" Ino and Sakura squealed, "You're so cute! It's not that scary."

"Shhh it is for me" replied Hinata. Naruto pushed Hinata's head back up and kissed her on the lips,

"I'll protect you cutie," he whispered. This made Ino and Sakura squeal again.

"Who knew Naruto could be cute?" Ino said, loving seeing the two of them like this.

"We should get you a boyfriend," replied Naruto.

"If you say so," said Ino, thinking that the only person she would want to be with was Sasuke.

"So have you two done anything yet?" asked Ino as they left the cinema,

"W-what do you mean?" said Hinata.

"You know! Anything more than kissing?" this made Hinata blush bright red.

"N-n-no we h-haven't," replied Hinata before hiding her face in Naruto's jacket.

"I give it a week max before you do, Naruto's too horny not to" said Sakura. Now it was Naruto's turn to blush,

"Hey how would you know that?!" he said defensively.

"Come on we all know it, you've been away with Jiraiya for three years, of course you're going to be turned into a pervert." Said Ino, loving winding Naruto up.

"No! Ero-sennin could never make me a pervert!" replied Naruto defiantly, but secretly thinking about how much he wanted to see Hinata naked.

"If you say so" said Ino.
