The Truth Jutsu

Chapter 4

Day 4

The next day Hinata woke up, got dressed and once again headed for the kitchen to make a picnic breakfast and get the lunch she had made the night before. This time the cook was no where to be found.

After leaving the Hyūga residence Hinata met Naruto outside the gate.

When to the he saw the picnic basket Naruto asked "Is that another picnic breakfast and lunch?

"Yes it is," answered Hinata blushing.

"So is your plan to spoil me," commented Naruto with a smile, "So that I'll marry you, being unable to eat another girl's cooking?"

"No," replied Hinata, "but is it working?"

Hinata was surprised at this last part, particularly since it had nothing to do with the truth jutsu.

They went to the same place to eat breakfast as they had done the day before. This time it was bacon and eggs and plenty of both. After eating they packed up and left.

On their way to the area behind the faces of the Hokages, Naruto and Hinata ran into Sakura.

"So it is this truth jutsu still in affect?" asked Sakura, "Or is this a real date?"

"It is still in affect," replied Hinata, "Not that it's any of your business."

"What's your problem Hinata?" asked Sakura, "You're usually so sweet."

"You're my problem," responded Hinata clearly releasing a lot of pinned up anger as a result of the truth jutsu, "You've been in my way for years. All this time you've played with Naruto's feelings even though you have no romantic interest in him at all. I've seen you flirt with Naruto several times just to get him to carry packages for you. Even worst,

Kiba told me that you one time told to Naruto that you love him even though you know it's a lie, just to get him to stop looking for Sasuke. Fortunately he saw right through it. I on the other hand really love Naruto and actually want to date him, marry him, be the mother of his children and grow old with him."

"OK," responded Sakura, "truth jutsu or no truth jutsu, you've gone too far."

Sakura proceeded to throw a punch at Hinata, who then blocked it with a chakra shield. Naruto stood there shocked at first, but then he started look for a chance to break it up. However Naruto had to admit to himself that part of him was actually enjoying it. When Sakura realized that she could not lay a punch she found and opportunity to grab some of Hinata's hair and gave it a good yank. Before any one knew what hat happened the two girls were on the ground in an all our hair pulling brawl. At this point Naruto realized it would be too dangerous to intervene.

Finally the girls broke it up both being exhausted. Naruto pulled Hinata out away leaving Sakura sitting in the dirt.

"You did quite well Hinata," said Naruto, "I didn't know you had it in you."

"Neither did I," respond Hinata still trying to catch her breath, "But just between us. I was holding back."

"By the way I know that Kiba told you about Sakura's fake confession of love," said Naruto, "But how did you know about her getting me to carry stuff for her?"

"Well," replied Hinata fidgeting with her fingers, "I kind of use to stalk you because I wanted to be close to you but was too nervous to say any thing."

Naruto just laughed. "Well you don't have to do that any more," said Naruto, "Feel to talk to me any time you want."

Hinata just blushed.

When Naruto and Hinata area behind the faces of the Hokages they sat talked for time.

"What did you mean when you said you were holding back in that fight with Sakura?" asked Naruto.

"Easy," responded Hinata, "I been developing my chakra control for years. I've developed it a lot further than it was when you saw me practicing in that pond on our mission to find the Bikōchū."

Hinata then blushed at what she had just said.

Several seconds later.

"Wait," responded Naruto, "You were the ultra beautiful girl I saw that night, it was so amazing. That memory has hunted me ever sense, now I find out that it was you… Well all I can say is WOW!."

Hinata then blushed even deeper, but Naruto just looked longingly at her only making it worse.

Several minutes later Naruto broke the ice, "Could you give me an example of one of what you've come up with?"

"Sure," responded Hinata, "Watch that fly."

Moments latter Naruto saw a small thin bolt of chakra go by and then he noticed the fly pined to wall.

"WOW," responded Naruto, "That's impressive."

"I practice on flies that come in my room," commented Hinata.

"I don't suppose you have much of a problem with flies then," responded Naruto with laugh.

"OK," said Naruto, "Let see how you handle me in sparing match."

As they spared at one point Hinata saw an opening and proceeded to use her chakra control to knock Naruto's legs out from under him. As a result he fell over taking Hinata down with him. When they landed their lips fell right on top each other cause them to accidentally kiss and to the surprise of both of them neither made any effort to end it.

When they finally came up for air Hinata was redder the Naruto could ever remember seeing her.

When Hinata opened the picnic basket at lunch time Naruto was surprised to see more than rice cakes, but a have dozen chicken legs and several ham sandwiches.

"Don't lent Tonton see these," commented Naruto.

Hinata responded wit ha smile, "The way you she won't get a chance."

"True," replied Naruto with a laugh.

On their way to Ichiraku's for dinner Naruto and Hinata came across Temari.

"Hi Temari," said Naruto.

"Nice seeing you two," responded Temari, "So is see you finally noticed this Girl. After all she's been in love with you at least as long as I known the two of you."

"Well I am currently helping her with a problem," replied Naruto, "But you can say I've finally noticed her."

Hinata blushed but got a hopeful smile.

"So do the two of you know why I'm visiting Konoha?" asked Temari.

"Sure," answered Hinata, "You're here to play tonsil hockey with Shikamaru."

"I'm here on an official mission for my brother," declared Temari.

"Maybe so but you're not denying the reason Hinata gave," responded Naruto with a smile.

Temari stood there as though she were about to say something but did not.

After leaving Ichiraku's, Naruto and Hinata headed for the Hyūga residence when they reached the gate Hinata was expecting Naruto to say, "Good night," bit instead he kissed her. This was not accidental nor to help keep her from blurting out something embarrassing but because he wanted kiss her. It was some time before they come up for air but when they did they said "Good night," and Hinata went inside.

Once inside Hinata headed for the kitchen to prepare a picnic breakfast and lunch for the next day. When she did she encountered the cook was not available. So she went head and prepared the food. After wards she head for her room where she was too excited to sleep because is looked as though Naruto was finally falling in love with her.

Upon arriving at his apartment Naruto when right to been but just laid there thinking of Hinata. It was at this point that he knew he had fallen in love with her.
