Last and final chapter of "Repeated Events." Minna, enjoy!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, as it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.
The face of the mysterious Jounin was none other the Hyuuga heiress, Hyuuga Hinata, herself!
Naruto stared in shock. Hell yeah, he knew Hinata was strong, but strong enough to become the second Jounin in the Rookie 11? Now that was strong.
Suddenly Hinata stirred, snapping Naruto out of his amazed thoughts. As she slowly opened for weary eyes, she couldn't believe it when she saw a pair of bright blue eyes staring at her in worry.
"Na…Naruto-kun?" she whispered.
Without thinking, Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist and pulled her into a tight hug. Hinata was shocked. Was this really Naruto?
"Naruto-kun?" she said a bit louder with her face becoming a bright red.
Naruto then regained his senses and quickly withdrew himself, his face a slight tint of pink. Hinata looked at the boy in surprise.
"Is that really you, Naruto-kun?" she said.
Naruto gave her a grin and a thumbs-up.
"The one and only!" he said proudly.
Hinata gave a surprised and happy gasp and pounced onto Naruto, despite her being slightly injured.
'Hinata-chan…' he thought. Then he hugged Hinata back.
"I've missed you so much, Naruto-kun…" Hinata murmured as her eyes were filled with crystallized tears.
Naruto stroked Hinata's hair as she cried tears of happiness into Naruto's jacket.
After what seemed like an eternity, they let go of one another, blushing heavily. Then after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Hinata spoke.
"I guess they did send someone after all." she said.
This brought Naruto back to the "performance" Hinata had given off earlier. He decided to ask her about it.
"Hinata-chan…what did you do out there..." was all he said.
Hinata turned a faint pink after being called "Hinata-chan" by Naruto and then spoke.
"That was one of my Storm Summoning Jutsus. That one was called Heaven Lighting Strike." she explained.
Naruto nodded.
"What did you do?"
"First, the bubbles were to revive the Tentou Kangen flowers surrounding the lake. Without those, I couldn't use the jutsu. Then as I…er, sang, the gray clouds covered the border of the Fire Country, since that was where the Sun ninja were. Then, lighting came down, killing all the Sun ninja, I'm pretty sure. Then the rain was actually the water from Iyasu Lake falling down to revive any trees or animals I damaged. It was also to put out any fires that the bolts might've caused." the Hyuuga heiress said.
"But how come I didn't get wet from the rain?" Naruto asked.
"I made it so that the water wouldn't wet anything; it would just heal things." she said.
Naruto's eyes widened. Hinata noticed this as took as a bad thing and got concerned.
"Is something wrong, Naruto-kun?"
"You've gotten so strong…" he said in amazement.
Hinata turned pink and started pushing her fingers together.
"Well, it's thanks to the training I've had. Especially at the waterfall near-" Hinata clamped her mouth shut with her hands. She didn't mean to blurt that out! What would Naruto say now?
Naruto looked at her.
"So you were the one at the waterfall…" he quietly muttered.
"Eh?" Hinata said, not sure that she heard the boy correctly.
Instead of answering, Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata.
"I'm so happy I fell in love with you…" he muttered, burying his forehead into the crook of Hinata's neck.
Hinata blushed furiously.
"You…you what?" she whispered in shock.
Naruto lifted his head and looked into her wide lavender eyes.
"I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize, Hinata-chan. But, I love you." he said softly.
Hinata gasped quietly in happiness, and smiled as tears came to her eyes once more.
"Naruto-kun…" she muttered before she crashed her lips onto Naruto's, surprising him.
They were in a lip lock for hours, so it seemed. Hinata slowly snaked her arms around Naruto's neck as he licked her lower lip, asking for an entrance. The girl shyly opened her mouth to let the boy's tongue explore. Hinata moaned slightly at the action and let her tongue roll playfully across Naruto's.
The two stayed like that for hours it seemed, but unfortunately nature had its limits and the two parted, catching their breath as their foreheads touched.
Hinata smiled at Naruto.
"I still love you, Naruto-kun, even if you do have the Kyuubi."
Naruto smiled back, happy to know that she wasn't scared.
"So you know?"
Hinata nodded.
And the two enjoyed each other's company until they both fell asleep in the cave, Naruto's arms wrapped around Hinata's body protectively and the girl burying herself into the boy's well-shaped body.
As day broke and the two awoke, they greeted each other with a kiss.
"Should we head back?" asked Naruto.
Hinata nodded.
As they made their way back, the two talked of many things and soon got on the topic of jutsus.
"You know, Hinata-chan, the jutsu you did last night was really amazing! I don't understand why you would've needed help!" Naruto said.
"Well, you caught me before I drowned. That jutsu is supposed to kill the one doing it. That's why my destination was Iyasu Lake. Once I fell in, I'd have been healed. But I wouldn't have woken up fast enough to get myself out of the water. Basically, someone needed to get me out of the water once I was completely submerged and had finished the jutsu." she explained to the amazed boy.
'So you saved my life twice, Naruto-kun,' Hinata thought, thinking back to the mission with Princess Haruna. 'I need to repay you somehow…'
"Either way, could you teach me something like that Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked, snapping the Hyuuga heiress out of her thoughts.
'Bingo.' she thought, smiling.
"Of course, Naruto-kun." she replied.
As the two ninjas returned to Konoha, they reported to Tsunade and were soon greeted by the rest of the Rookie 11.
No one noticed that that whole time, the two were hand in hand.
