4: On a date
A/N: Yay for all the views I've been getting, although more reviews would be appreciated *hinthint*. I just want to say something before you read this chapter, I wrote this before Naruto chapter 614 came out. If you've read it you can probably guess why I'm mentioning that. If you haven't read it then I'm not gonna spoil it for you. So yeah boo Kishimoto for doing that to us.
It was Naruto's idea to skip the meeting with the Hokage. The one that was supposed to be mandatory. And since Hinata couldn't say no to Naruto they both ended up sitting at Ichiraku Ramen and trying to avoid being caught.
"So Hinata-chan," Naruto looked over at his girlfriend who was sitting next to him, "What do you want to do after we finish eating?"
"Shouldn't we go to the meeting? I mean Tsunade-sama did say that it was mandatory." Naruto laughed and grinned.
"Aww that was just a suggestion. I was thinking that we should go to the bakery, you know the one that sells cinnamon buns." Hinata grinned and nodded. Naruto's grin widened, he knew that it was probably uncomfortable for Hinata to be missing a "mandatory" meeting but he was enjoying the fact that they got to spend time together.
"That sounds great Naruto-kun."
"Woo-hoo! Wanna head over now then?" He asked noticing that Hinata had just finished her ramen.
"Ok." And so the couple departed for their next destination. However they didn't get very far because of a very annoyed looking Neji and Sakura.
"NARUTO!" yelled Sakura as she punched Naruto on the head.
"Oww…Sakura can't you see I'm trying to enjoy a date?" Sakura twitched slightly in annoyance.
"You're supposed to be at a meeting just like the rest of us! I can't believe that you dragged Hinata into this!" Her yelling continued as Neji walked over to his cousin.
"Hinata-sama…" Naruto recognized that tone of voice. The disapproving older brother tone of voice that made Hinata upset, "You shouldn't be slacking off on your duties like this. At this rate you'll never become head of the clan." Hinata nodded and looked down. Naruto felt a twist in his gut at seeing her upset like this.
"Oi Neji, lay off. It was my idea. I made her go along with it." Neji looked over to Naruto before smirking slightly.
"Very well then, you can explain this to Tsunade-sama."
Well, that date could have gone better was Naruto's first thought as Sakura dragged him to the Hokage's office. Well at least I got to spend time with Hinata was his second.
