Declaimer: Lovelyanime does not own Naruto. If she did, Naruto and Hinata would have been on the same team.

Sasuke: Wouldn't that ruin some of the story line?

Lovelyanime: Who cares. If they are on the same team, Naruto can finally see Hinata's true feelings. Damn baka…

Naruto: Hey! I heard that!

Lovelyanime: Good, because you were supposed to. You know, some of my guy friends say that you aren't really a idiot. At least to Hinata's feelings.

Sakura: Are you sure about that? You sure you heard them right?

Lovelyanime: Yeah. We were talking about Naruto as we were walking from school to get something to eat. I started talking about how Naruto is oblivious to how Hinata felt about him. Then they started to say that he already knows. Like some guys, he just doesn't want to admit it.

Naruto: Ha! Some people finally see that I'm not an idiot!

Lovelyanime: Don't get your hopes up. They only said you weren't dumb about her feelings, nothing else. But anyway, lets start already. It may be a little stupid, but just live with it. I didn't know what to put in this chapter.

Chapter 4-At the ramen stand

"Ayame-obaa-chan! There's nowhere to sit!" He yelled with his stomach growling. He rubbed his belly. "It's making those weird sounds again. I think it's getting mad." He started to pout.

The young woman named Ayame giggled as she looked around. There really wasn't anywhere to sit. Then her eyes landed on Naruto. An idea popped in her head. "Hey Naruto, is it okay if he sits on your lap?"

Naruto looked back at Ayame. "It's fine I guess…"

"Who are you?" Hisoka asked as he stopped rubbing his stomach.

"I'm Naruto and who are you?" Naruto still couldn't put his finger on it. The boy looked very familiar. That blonde hair and those blue eyes…They looked so familiar.

"Look, I told you he was here." A woman came in with a man right behind her.

"Sorry, can we leave now? I want to get something else besides ramen." The man said.

The woman seemed like she didn't hear her husband. She walked up to Hisoka as he backed up a little. She picked him up and started saying things like 'you're so cute,' or 'I just want to eat you right up, and 'your kaa-san is lucky to have you.' As she talked on and on, Hisoka wasn't really paying attention and tried desperately to escape. This would happen almost everyday, people coming by, snuggle him close to them, say how precious he was and blah, blah, blah. Hisoka had a name for these people…the crazy people. But at least they were better than some others, which he called the bad people. He still remembers that horrible day when he saw them and what they did.

The woman looked up at Naruto as he watched what was going on. 'So it is true, he is back.' the woman thought. She handed Hisoka to her husband and walked closer to Naruto.

"I'm really sorry," she started. "For all those times we have all treated you. I feel terrible now after all these years. I should have thought of you as a hero instead of a monster. I hope you can forgive me, my husband, and everyone in his village."

The woman meant every word. Four years ago when Hisoka was born, everyone in the village feared of the son of the demon boy. But as time went on, everyone realized they were never in real danger. When they heard Naruto had died they felt guilt instead of celebrating for how they treated him. Especially when they found out who Naruto's farther was. They couldn't believe they treated the most powerful hokage's son like that. Everyone in the village became kind to Hisoka, hoping one day they would be forgiven. Everyone felt this way except for a certain clan.

Naruto didn't really understand. She was apologizing to him. TO HIM. The demon boy the villagers hated and wanted dead.

'Umm…Sure…" Was all he could come up with.

The woman felt relief all over her body. She turned around and grabbed Hisoka who looked irritated. All he wanted was some ramen. That was it, was it to much to ask for? He had nowhere to sit, his stomach kept growling, one of the crazy people comes by and the lady was taking her time talking to this guy about who knows what.

"Okay, back to otou-san." The woman gave Hisoka to Naruto. She waved goodbye as she left with her husband, who to like Hisoka was very hungry.

"Otou-san?" Hisoka blinked his eyes a couple times. The huge kitsune in his dream did say his otou-san was coming by today. And Hisoka was at the academy so he wasn't able to look around. Maybe this was his otou-san. Hisoka was about to ask Naruto if he was when he smelled ramen. He looked over at Naruto's ramen, still untouched, and began to drool.

Naruto sat the boy on his lap as he thought the woman. It felt kind of nice that she apologized, but wondered why she thought he was the boy's otou-san. He glanced at the boy who looked like he was scratching his butt or something. But in truth, he was moving his tail so he wouldn't sit on it. Because if he sat on it for a while, it would start to hurt.

"That smells good." Hisoka reached out for Naruto's ramen. "Now my tummy will be happy." Before he touched the bowl, Naruto snatched it.

"Get your own. This one is mine." He held the bowl over Hisoka's head. He watched the boy carefully. He took his chopsticks and began to eat pretty fast

"D-d-demo…" Hisoka's eyes got watery.

Ayame walked up to the blonde boy. "Don't worry, I got yours right here." She placed the bowl on the counter. She then she got two small bottles and poured them into the ramen. She stirred it around a little before handing Hisoka his chopsticks.

"Arigato!" Hisoka began to eat almost as fast as Naruto and a little sloppier. Ayame walked away to take care some other customers.

"What did she put in there." Naruto put down his bowl and grabbed another.

Hisoka stopped eating and wiped his mouth. "Soy sauce and hot sauce. It tastes really good with ramen." He grabbed the bottles "Here, you try." He grabbed the bottles and held them up to Naruto.

"I don't thank so. I like my ramen how it is."

"Come on, try it! Try it! Try it! Try it! Try it Try it Try i-"

"I don't want to!" Damn, the kid might look sweet, but he was annoying as hell just in a few seconds. That was a new record for Naruto.

"Fine," Hisoka put the bottles down and grabbed his bowl. "Meanie." He said before eating his ramen.

Naruto just ignored the boy and went on eating his own ramen. As Naruto ate he wondered why the boy looked so familiar. Maybe he was related to one of his friends? If so, then who had blonde hair, blue pupiless eyes and can get real annoying under a minute? Then realized who and wanted to ask the boy.

"Hey, do you know someone named Ino?"

Hisoka stopped eating his ramen again. "Yep! She's kaa-san's friend. I call her oba-san like all kaa-san's friends. I also call some of them oji-san."

"Okay…" Naruto didn't really ask him the last part, but oh well. At least the boy answered his question. Maybe it was a coincidence that he looked like Ino. Naruto started to think of any other people. 'Maybe he's related to baa-chan…Nah, that's not it.' He looked down at the boy once more and noticed something.

Hisoka's tag on his shirt was hanging out and had a name on it. Naruto looked more carefully and the name that was sloppy read 'Naruto.' He then finally realized why the cloths looked familiar too. They were his! They were the same ones he wore until he was like five or six. How the hell did he get them?

"Oi kid. Where'd you get those cloths?"

"Baa-chan gave them to me." Hisoka grinned as he remembered her giving them to him before going out for some ramen.

"Who's your baa-chan?"

"Tsunade. Now can I eat the rest of my ramen? I'm hungry and you're annoying." He went back to his ramen.

"Why you little…" Naruto sighed and went back to his ramen as well. He needed to ask Tsunade why she gave his cloths away. Of course it never occurred to him that it might have been that everyone thought he was dead and didn't need them. Plus, they didn't exactly fit him anymore.

After awhile some people left the ramen stand and went back to their normal lives. There were chairs left so Hisoka was able to leave Naruto's lap. Hisoka was happy since he wouldn't have some ramen juice falling on his head. Hisoka tried to get him back for it by putting in some hot sauce in Naruto's bowl. For a second, Naruto thought Ayame gave him the wrong bowl when he tasted it. But when he ate a little to fast, his throat burned and saw Hisoka laughing, he knew what had happened. It seemed Hisoka, like his farther, was a prankster.

"That was tasty Jiji!" Hisoka rubbed his stomach. Then he smelled the air. He could smell someone coming and he was close. "I have to go! Bye Ayame-oba-chan! Bye Jiji!" Hisoka jumped off his stool and looked up at Naruto. "Bye mister." With that Hisoka ran out.

When he left, he automatically saw Iruka coming his way. "Hisoka! Ready to go back?" Hisoka nodded. "Good," he picked up the boy and put him over his shoulders. He began to walk back to the academy.

Back at the Ramen shop, Naruto was finishing his last bowl. He saw the boy leave and was unable to say bye to him. There was something about the boy that Naruto couldn't put his finger on it. The boy was annoying, but Naruto still kinda liked him. He seemed to be a good kid. As Naruto thought about him he thought about something. He never got the boy's name. It didn't really bother him. It wasn't like he was going to him again anyway.

After finishing his ramen he decided to look for Hinata once more. He also decided that if he still couldn't find her, he was going to visit Iruka. He really wanted to see his old sensei. But he had no idea that he who's sister was going to come by as well…

Jiji- old man

Lovelyanime: I love putting hot sauce and soy sauce in my ramen. It really is good, except when I put to much of them. Oh, and I'm sorry, but you have to wait for the certain Hyuuga to beat Naruto up (twice)in the next chapter.

Naruto: Why me, why?(Sigh)…So who's turn is it to tell everyone to review?

Lovelyanime: It should be Kiba-kun's turn. Okay Kiba-kun, tell them. (Silence) Kiba-kun? Where are you?

Sakura: Uhh…He kinda ran away…You probably should've put a leach on him like Lee.

Lovelyanime: I know I should've. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait until the dog catcher get him then. For now I'll tell everyone to review.(Clears throat) Please review and I'll do my best on Naruto getting his ass kicked in the next chapter.

Naruto: If anyone out there loves me, please don't review. I don't want to get hurt anymore!
