Leaf village training grounds:

It had been a few weeks since Mako had told Kushina about his past and to his surprise she did not condemn him for what he had done. Later that night he had met Naruto whom to Mako's surprise had not been mad that his parents had taken a complete stranger into their home and was actually very glad that he would know have someone to train with him that was the same age as him. Mako noticed that Naruto had a personality that just made people to like him. He had met many of Naruto's classmates when they had come over after school and was glad that Naruto had so many friends. Then one afternoon one of naruto's friends had started talking to him his name was Sasuke Uchiha and slowly but surely Mako and Sasuke became friends. One day Mako asked Kushina if she minded if he did some training by himself in the evening. Kushina agreed that he needed to start to develop his own skills by himself so she would allow it. Mako went to the training grounds every night after he ate dinner and would stay up late developing his taijutsu. Mako did this for several weeks then one night he met someone and she changed everything.

Mako was walking up to his usual training ground when he heard what sounded like someone practicing. As Mako walked up he saw a girl on the ground infront of a log that had been beaten to the point that Mako could see the very center of the log. Mako walked up next to the girl and saw that she was crying.

"What's wrong?" Mako asked.

The girl looked back at him with her white eyes. That's when Mako noticed that her palm's where bleeding.

"Come here let me take a look at your palms." Mako stated as he motioned her closer to him.

The girl walked closer to him and stuck out her hands. Mako stared at the girl in shock this girl had managed to burn all the skin of the center of palm. Mako reached back and pulled out a container of cream that Kushina had given him and spread some of it over her palms.

"Why would you do this to yourself?" Mako asked.

"Because I must become stronger so that I do not shame my clan more than I already have and maybe make my dad proud of me." She replied.

"Well how about this I help you become stronger and you help me with my taijutsu?" Mako asked.

"You would really do that for me?" The girl asked.

"Yes of course I would. So what do you say?" Mako inquired.

"Yes I would like that." The girl responded.

"Well what's your name?" Mako asked.

"Hinata Hyuga and what's yours?" Hinata asked.

"Mako."He replied.

"Do you not have a last name?" Hinata asked.

"No I never knew my parents but I am living with Minato and Kushina and they treat me like their own son." Mako replied.

"You mean you live with Naruto?" Hinata asked as she blushed.

"Yeah and I am guessing from your reaction that you have fallen for him?" Mako asked with a smirk on his face.

"Yes ….. I have." Hinata stuttered as she responded.

"I'll tell you what including making you stronger I will also tell you all of Naruto's likes and dislikes." Mako responded.

"Why would you do that for me?" Hinata asked as she looked like she was going to cry.

"Because you are not like those fan girls that are always chasing after Sasuke and I think if anyone deserves a chance with Naruto it would be you." Mako responded as handed her a rag to wipe away her tears.

"You are one of the nicest people I have ever met." Hinata stated.

"It's the least I could do for Kushina and Minato after what they've done for me. I want to make sure that whatever girl Naruto chooses truly loves him since I have a feeling he will do great things one day." Mako responded

"Meet me here tomorrow at six and we will start our training." Mako stated.

"Ok we should probably be going."Hinata responded.

"I will walk you home." Mako stated

As they walked Mako told Hinata all about Naruto. All his likes and dislikes, his favorite food, and many other things.

"Thank you." Hinata said as she gave him a hug.

"You're welcome and don't forget all the stuff I told you tonight." Mako responded as they broke out of the hug.

"Well see you tomorrow. Night Mako." Hinata said as she walked into the Hyuga compound.

"Night Hinata." Mako responded as he began to walk towards the Namikaze compound.
