Two days later Naruto woke up with a broken arm, two broken legs, 7 cracked and bruised ribs, concussion and a cracked skull.
"Huh...what happened...last thing I remember is Sakura lifting my bed with Hinata still on it...did she do this...where is Hinata"?
Naruto sat up and immediately lay back down, groaning in pain.
Tsunade walked in and spoke to Naruto," why would you do that you annoying, silly little man, you know that Sakura always gets pissed off when you mention her relationship with Sasuke".
"Tsunade sama, I didn't even know she was dating until this afternoon, I've been with Hinata."
"Uh oh, do you know how long you've been here?"
Naruto suddenly felt uneasy. He very slowly sat up and said cautiously said," how long have I been here.
About a day and a half", Tsunade realised what he had said beforehand.
"What do you mean you've been with Hinata, I didn't know you'd seen her yet".
Tsunade thought about how much Hinata liked Naruto and wondered what he had been doing.
Naruto saw the look on her face and planned his response before answering,"I realised just before I left a couple of years ago that Hinata loves me as much as I love her, so we ended up as a couple.
Tsunade looked at him, unsure of whether he and Hinata were making the right choice.
Hinata walked in with a bouquet of roses. She saw Naruto, conscious and dropped the flowers on his bed.
She quickly walked around the bed and leaned down to kiss him.
That was the moment that Tsunade knew that they would love each other, would be married and in all probablilty die together at an old age.
She saw exactly what Sakura saw, a look of complete and total devotion and love.
Naruto, with no parents, no siblings, no relations at all, and Hinata, with only one sister who had always been the favourite and a father who had never believed that Hinata was worth anything.
Both felt like they were judged by their own village, like no one would acknowlege them, and both were eventually acknowledged by a single person, both ended up being acknowledged by many.
"Like Gaara, the Kazekage", she thought suddenly thought, happy that both of the Jinnchurikis' had found love, Naruto with Hinata and Gaara with Sakura.
Tsunade laughed inside of herself.
Nobody had expected Gaara to fall for someone like Sakura.
Then again, no one expected Naruto to fall for anyone.
Yet here he was, gazing into her eyes with an absolute and total devotion, with a love and passion that shocked even Tsunade.
She didn't even think that Naruto was capable of those emotions.
"Oi, TSUNADE SAMA. TSUNADE SAMA!!" Tsunade jumped as she realised that Naruto was calling her name.
She sighed, before replying,"what is it now Naruto"?
Naruto reached up and held onto Hinatas hand before he asked politely,"when will I be allowed to leave the hospital Tsunade sama?", Naruto suddenly looked years older.
Tsunade realised that his years with Jiraiya hadn't been wasted, that Naruto really was older than he had been.
That he had aged, not just physically, but he was emotionally so much older than he was before his training.
"Why do you want to know, Naruto?", Tsunade knew that she was going to let him out soon, but she had no intention of letting him know that.
"Hinata and I are going to tell Hiashi sama that we're...well...that I...That Hinata...", Hinata held up a beautiful gold ring with a heart shaped emerald, surrounded by small diamonds and pieces of amethyst.
Tsunade stood there, mouth gaping for a few seconds before she passed out onto a bed behind her.
A medical ninja rushed in and saw the Hokage unconscious on a bed.
"Don't worry, she'll wake up in a moment, I just surprised her",Naruto grinned deviously.
"She said that I was clear to leave though". The ninja looked skeptically at them both as they hastily walked out of the door, hand in hand.
