~~~~~~~~ Three Years after the Nine Tails Attack ~~~~~~~~

A lady with crimson red hair walks by with a young blonde haired boy about the age of three holding her hand. Many of the villagers stare at her and the boy, looks of disgust clearly written on their faces. They clearly wanted to do something to them when the lady turned unleashed high amounts of KI (Killer Intent) and that frightened the villagers from doing anything stupid.

The two of them walked all the way to the park, where all the kids were playing at the moment.

"Mum, can I go play?" He looked at her with his clear blue eyes.

"Yes, just be careful and have fun." She said as a smile emerged on her face.

"Okay, I promise believe it." He held out his hand which was balled up into a fist when he said those last two words. The lady laughed at that and waved her hand as she watched the boy run off to play.

The boy ran towards the swing set when he noticed a little girl being picked on by three older boys. The girl had short blue hair and wore a shirt and pants. She was on the ground with her hands covering her face crying her eyes out as the three older kids continued to bully her by holding her ball high into the air and out of her reach. He ran towards them and shouted at them.

"Leave her alone, you bullies." The bullies turned their attention towards the boy. "What if we don't? What are you going to do about it?" They continued to pick on her as the bully asked the questions. The only reply he got was a fist in the face that sent the boy to land on his butt. "I'm going to beat you up if I have to, that is what I'm going to do." The two other bullies saw how serious the blond haired boy was and they ran off, dropping the girl's ball. The boy picked the ball up and handed it to her. "Here's your ball back. What's your name?" He hadn't even asked her name yet and he just helped her out.

"My name is Hinata Hyuga." She said in a small and sweet voice. "What's your name?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. It is nice to meet you Hinata." He held his hand out to her to help her up which she gladly took. Once she was up she started to blush a little at the contact.

"Well, bye Hinata. I have to go now. My mum's calling for me." Naruto was running towards his mom when Hinata spoke out.

"Naruto-kun, do you want to come over to my house to play later?" She asked him. She wanted him to say yes but she would understand if he didn't want to.

Naruto turned his head to face her again. "Yes, Hinata, I would like to come over to your house. I just have to ask my mum." Hinata smiled at his response. "See you later Naruto-kun." She waved goodbye to him as he ran back to his mom.

"Mum, I just saved a nice girl and she invited me to play at her house later. Can I go?" He was clearly excited to hear her answer.

"What is the girl's name?" She asked with a smile. "Her name is Hinata Hyuga." Naruto said. "Okay, you can go as long as Wolf comes along with you." The boy nodded and thanked her. "Thank you." He was now practically jumping into the air with joy as she smiled and laughed at his antics.

~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile at the Hyuga Estate ~~~~~~~~

Hiashi noticed how happy his daughter was and wanted to know why she was smiling. "Hinata, did something good happen to you today?" He asked and she turned her head to face him. She nodded and continued to smile.

"Yes, a boy saved me from bullies earlier and I invited him over to play." Hiashi felt anger at the boys who bullied her and his KI (Killer Intent) rose at the thought of teaching them a lesson. He felt gratitude towards this boy who helped her and wanted to thank him.

"What is the boy's name Hinata?" He asked, wanting to know her savior's name.

"His name is Naruto Uzumaki." She said and at that Hiashi froze before remembering that Naruto was Minato's son and that he promised to keep secret, this information, to keep Kushina and Naruto safe from Minato's enemies. "Okay, I'll inform the guards to let him pass when he comes by."

She thanked him before running off. He walked up to the guards and told them to let the boy through when he comes by. They nodded and continued to guard the estate.

Naruto came by two hours later accompanied by an ANBU Black Ops ninja as a guard. The guard was really young and looked to be around 14 years old. He wore a white porcelain mask that had the designs of a wolf. Both of them came walking up to the entrance of the Hyuga Estate and they were let through.

Naruto ran over to meet up with Hinata while Wolf was watching from afar. He smiled under his mask when he saw Naruto trip on his own feet and fall face forward into the ground with Hinata all worried over him. They played for until it was night time.

Hiashi invited Naruto to stay with them for dinner which he gladly agreed to. After they were finished eating, Naruto looked bone tired and was about to fall asleep so it was time for him and Wolf to head back.

They started to walk towards the exit of the estate when both of them heard a scream. That woke Naruto up as he recognized it as Hinata's. Wolf saw in Naruto's face a look of determination that he grabbed the boy and decided to take him along.

Wolf flashed with Naruto in his hands and stopped right in front of the intruder who was holding the girl. He let go of Naruto as he drew out a kunai.

The intruder rushed him intending to catch him by surprise when the intruder felt the kunai's sharp blade edge at his throat. "I suggest that you let the girl go before I kill you." The intruder obliged by setting the girl down on the ground.

Naruto ran over to her and held her head up from the ground. "Hinata are you okay?" He asked worriedly. "Don't worry Naruto, there are no signs of any wounds on her and she is still breathing."

The Hyuga guards came by, shortly after the scream, accompanied by Hiashi. He picked up and carried his daughter back while he told the guards to lock the intruder up in the cell and to watch him so that he would not try to escape. Hiashi gave his word of thanks to Wolf and gave Naruto a reassuring smile that Hinata was going to be alright.

Wolf dropped Naruto off at his house, seeing again how tired the boy was, and headed off to give Minato a report of what happened. He arrived at the Hokage's office window and he opened it asking Minato if it was okay. Minato nodded his head in approval.

"Sir, I'm here to give you a report." Minato waved his hand for him to continue. "An intruder broke into the Hyuga Estate and tried to kidnap Hinata Hyuga. It was revealed that the identity of the intruder was a ninja from the Land of Lightning." Minato nodded grimly before asking.

"What were you doing at the Hyuga Estate when I positioned you to guard Kushina and Naruto?"

"Oh, Naruto was invited over to the Hyuga Estate by Hinata Hyuga to play and Lady Kushina asked me to watch over him while he was over there." As Wolf continued describing the events of the visit with much detail, he smiled at how Naruto made another friend.

"Well, thank you for the report Wolf. I'll speak with the Council and then meet with the ninja of the Land of Lightning and ask why one of their ninja attempted to commit this atrocious act. You are dismissed Wolf." Wolf bowed his head before heading out the window and disappearing.

Minato stood up out of his chair and got ready to go home to Kushina and Naruto. At that thought his smile got even wider and he laughed, imagining Naruto falling on his face from the detailed report Wolf gave him. "At least he made another friend and maybe a future girlfriend." He walked out the door and left his office.


Me- I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. Remember to review if you can.

Kushina- Oh so Naruto made friends with such a cute girl. Maybe she will be my future daughter-in-law.

Minato- Kushina, you don't know that and they are still 3 years old.

Kushina- I'll look forward to the future.
