"There's about twenty of them in the trees around us." Whispered Hinata into Naruto's ear. As she leaned back, she saw Naruto smile. He thought there was more then that, if it were only that many, then there was no need to worry.

Naruto openly said, rather loudly, "You take ten, and I'll take ten, we'll meet up here after we're done. Ok." And with that he looked into the trees and all twenty ninja jumped at them. Hinata had taken down two when the rest that were attacking her jumped on Naruto. That's when it hit him, they were only after him, not Hinata or to ruin the mission, they were only after him… but why?

"KYUUBI, I need your power, help me." Naruto's mind screamed.

"No you don't kit, you can handle this on your own." She replied to him.

She had never lied to him before, so he trusted what she said and then it came.

The smell of blood had risen to his nostrils and it was over whelming. His gorgeous, bright blue eyes had turned red and grown black slits. His K.9 teeth had grown longer and sharper, and his fingernails had grown and resembled claws. This was the first time anything like this had ever happened. The first time he had lost control since he learned how to gain it.

It was too late, the bloodlust had become to much to take back. He clawed his way out from underneath all the ninja holding him down. He was not going to roll over for these losers.

He had managed to kill the remainder of the ninja that surrounded them in a matter of seconds then he turned to Hinata, the blood lust was still strong, but he would not hurt the woman he loved, even if he couldn't tell her that.

Hinata looked into Naruto's eyes, she couldn't help but seem scared but he was still Naruto. Even if his eyes had shown nothing that was him. Instead of being the bright, full-of-life Naruto she had known, his eyes were scary, they will ice cold and the only emotion they were showing was killer intend. She took a step towards him, but was yelled at to stay back, but she didn't listen.

She slowly made her way towards him, until she was so close. Naruto took a step back, he wanted to hurt her, to rip out her throat, but he wouldn't. He loved her, even if she didn't love him back.

Hinata rested her hand in his shoulder and immediately he calmed down. His eyes went back to their shining blue, but held regret in them.

"Naruto… what exactly are you?" she asked quietly and he looked ashamed of himself.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, but I can't answer that." He said and looked away unable to look at her.

"Naruto… you're the baby the demon was sealed into 18 years ago… aren't you?" she asked him and he was silent for sometime.

"Yes" he said, unable to lie to her. He expected her to turn on him, here and now, but all she did was wrap her arms around him. He didn't know what to do now. Not once in his entire life, did anyone ever embrace him like this. Was there a particular something you were supposed do in this event?

She let silent tears fall down he cheeks as he just stood there, not knowing what to do now. She didn't know the extent of the cruelty he had been dished out. She knew of the name calling in the academy, and sometimes she saw the glares that people had given him when he walked to his favorite restrant… Ichiraku's ramen stand. Sometimes she even heard whispers from the adults, telling others of his latest failure. Now she understood why.

Naruto had slowly risen his hands to rest around her waist, not knowing whether he should do this or not… he waited for her to start yelling at him or punching him, or something. But nothing came. So he was the one to break the silence.

"Hinata, I think we should get going now. We still have a mission." He said, his voice was so close to cracking and when she looked up into his eyes she saw the pain they held and the tears he was not letting fall. "Ok" she replied and then realized that Naruto had killed 18 ninja while doing absolutely nothing. He really had grown from being the slowest to the most efficient ninja in the village.

They picked up their weapons and started to keep walking.

Night had fallen.

Hinata was starting the fire and Naruto was putting up the tent that Anko had given him. Tonight was trial 1. If she could keep herself under control tonight then she knew she could do it for the rest of the trip. She breathed as Naruto had come to sit down next to her. He picked up his bag and began to rummage through it. She was wondering what he was looking for. Until he bought a bottle of water and something to boil it in she thought he was going to make diner, which is exactly what he was doing. As soon as the water had finished boiling over the fire, he pulled out 2 instant ramen cups and filled them both with water. He then handed one to Hinata who thanked him and waited for them to absorb the boiling water, which would make them eatable. She had to hand it to him, he came prepared.
