I don't own Naruto.

Ch 5: A Simple Walk Home (Our Home)

After Naruto and Hinata had left the school, it was just a simple bus ride before Naruto said it was a short walk to his house. Once they had gotten off the bus and started walking, Hinata began to notice something odd.

Even thought even though quite a few people were staring at Naruto and her, no one was coming near them. Not even the people walking in their direction. Neji and the others noticed this to, but didn't think of it too much.

Eventually, Naruto and Hinata reached a small alley way. And after they had past that alley way, Hinata noticed they were now being followed by a rock with eyeholes. After being followed by the rock for a while, Naruto stopped, turned around, pointed at the rock, and said, "Alright, get out here."

"Your quick boss," the rock said, "I even made it look like a real rock. Just what I expected from my greatest rival." Then the rock exploded. After the smoke cleared, three kids stood there on their hands and knees, coughing from the smoke. "I think we used too much gunpowder guys," said one of the kids.

After they stopped coughing, the kids looked up. The first thing Hinata noticed was that they all wore a headband that looked like the one Naruto wore, except that theirs were blue and the spirals were silver; plus a few lines had been added to the spiral so that it now looked like a leaf.

One of the kids was a boy with short brown hair and big glasses. Next to him was a girl that had orange hair with ponytails that were held up almost like they were horns. The third one had brown spiky hair and a long blue scarf. Hinata recognized him as third Hokage's grandson.

Seeing Hinata, the three kids jumped up and posed. "Hi," the girl said, "my names Moegi, the sassiest female ninja." "I love math," the boy with glasses said, "call me Udon." "And I," the third's grandson said, "am Konohamaru." "And together," they all said at once, "we are 'The Naruto Ninjas'."

Hinata smiled at this. Naruto had made his own little ninja team. It was so cute. "So boss," Konohamaru said, looking at Naruto, but pointing at Hinata, "how did you know it was us; and who is that, your girlfriend?" This caused Hinata to blush.

"There aren't any rocks that size in this part of town," Naruto told him, "especially one's that move." "Ah, I should have figured," Konohamaru said, thinking his problem was the rock size. "And second," Naruto said, pointing at Hinata, "her father told me that she and I are now engaged, so I guess you could say she's my girlfriend."

This caused Hinata to not only blush harder, but nearly faint. Meanwhile, the others were trying to hold Neji back so that their cover wouldn't be blown. "Wow," Konohamaru said, looking from Hinata to Naruto in amazement, "quite a score boss." "I know, right," Naruto said, smiling and putting his hands behind his head, "and I didn't even need to do anything."

Now Hinata really did faint. And the other really needed to hold Neji back to stop him from storming out. "Hey," Naruto, catching Hinata as she fell, said, "how bout we go get some Ichiraku ramen?" "Sure thing," the three little ninja's said, raising their hands. "Last one there has to pay," Naruto said before putting his school case in his mouth.

Suddenly, Naruto (holding Hinata bridle stile) and the other three jumped onto the roof of the building next to them, and started to run and jump on the rooftops like it was how they always traveled (which it pretty much was).

Neji, Sakura, and the others had to run to keep up. Once or twice they nearly lost them, but soon found them again. "These guys are good for wannabe ninjas," Kiba said after following them for 15 minutes. After another 20 minutes, Sakura and the others found themselves outside an open-air ramen stand, which had 'Ichiraku Ramen' written on the front of its awning.

"Man boss," Konohamaru said, "you always beat us here." "Looks like I'm not going to pay today," Naruto said, happily eating his ramen. Hinata, who was just waking up, looked over at Naruto and the others. Remembering the conversation earlier, she almost fainted again.

Luckily, the man behind the counter (presumable Ichiraku) asked what she wanted, turning her thoughts away from the others. But Hinata just said she was on a diet, and thanked him anyways. "That's a great girl you got there, Naruto," the Ichiraku said. "She not mine yet," Naruto said, causing Hinata to blush again, "but I'd like her to be."

After hearing this, Hinata fainted once more. "One glass of water, please," Naruto said, looking at the old man. After Ichiraku gave Naruto the iced water, Naruto immediately dumped it on Hinata, who woke right up. "Thanks," Naruto said, finishing his ramen.

After waiting for the others to finish, Naruto stood up, bowed to Ichiraku and his daughter, and said, "thank you for the food." Then he gathered his stuff up, and pointed to where Sakura and the others were hiding. "They'll pay for it," he said.

He grabbed Hinata's hand and took off before she could look to see who Naruto was talking about. Since Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi ran after Naruto, Neji and the other had little choose in paying. So they quickly did so and starting followed Naruto again, more carefully this time.

Once they caught up to them again, Naruto and the others were in the middle of watching an old woman try and carry her groceries up the stairs to a walkway. Naruto, surprisingly, walked over to the woman, took her groceries, picked her up, and piggyback her to the other side.

"Wow boss," Konohamaru said as he and the others walked next to Naruto, "you're always so strong and helpful." Once Naruto and the others got to the other side, Naruto put the old lady down and handed her the groceries.

Then, the old lady did something very surprising. She smacked Naruto on the head with her purse, then continued to smack him. "Leave me alone you crazy demon boy," the old woman said, still hitting Naruto, "HELP, MUGGING!"

"Let's get out of here," Naruto said, picking up Konohamaru and grabbing Hinata's hand. "But Naruto," Hinata said, "you didn't do anything. I'm sure if we just talk to the police, they'll…" "They won't care whether or not I was mugging that woman," Naruto said, still running and holding Hinata's hand, "even if the woman herself vouched for me, they'll just use it as an excuse to arrest me."

"What," Hinata asked, trying to keep up, "why?" "I don't know," Naruto said, "maybe for braking out of jail when I was 7." "Naruto," Hinata said, laughing a little at this, "they can't arrest a 7 year old." Naruto stopped and looked at her. "Really," he said, looking like she was joking, "are you sure?"

Hinata was surprised. He really was arrested at 7. "There he is," a man in a police uniform said. "Crap," Naruto said, running once more. Then, after thinking about it, he put Hinata under his arm, jumped, and ran up the side of a building.

"You won't escape this time," one of the officers said, "you just kidnapped an innocent girl and the third's grandson. He'll have to let us know where you live now." "But I wasn't kidnapped," Hinata said, looking back. "Don't bother," Naruto said, jumping from building to building, "they won't listen. They'll probable just think you were brainwashed, or something."

"What," Hinata said, looking at Naruto like he was crazy. "It happens," Konohamaru said, putting his cheek on his hand, "trust me, I know." Hinata didn't say another word until they were at Naruto's house, which was designed to look like an extra large water tank on an abandoned building.

Once inside, it began to really look like a house. After a little while, Udon and Moegi showed up and joined them. "Can I get you guys anything to drink," Naruto asked, heading for the kitchen. "Yes please," Hinata said.

"So," Hinata asked, as Naruto made tea, "how long have you lived here?" "Most my life, actually," Naruto said, "I moved in after I was kicked out of the orphanage at five." Hinata stared at him. "How old are you now," she asked. "Bout 15," Naruto said.

Hinata just stared. He had been alone with no home… no real home, for nearly ten years. That was just horrible. "That's just horrible," Hinata told him. "You get used to this kind of stuff," Naruto said, "or at least, I have."

"But… why does it happen to you of all people," Hinata asked. "Oh," Konohamaru told her, "it's because he has the…" "Actually," Naruto said irritably, interrupting Konohamaru, "we don't know why. Isn't that right?" "Yea," Konohamaru said, feeling nervous under the evil eye Naruto was giving him, "no clue."

Hinata could tell that they all knew why, but she decided to respect their wishes for her to not know (well, Naruto's wishes anyways) and just play dumb. "Oh, I see," Hinata said, "it must be awful, to be hated, yet don't know why."

"You're a bad liar," Naruto said, finishing up with the tea, "but thanks for not prying." Then he came into the room with the tea. Hinata looked up. Something was off about the tea. "Naruto," she asked, "are you sure we need…" she counted, "eleven cups." "Yea," Naruto said, giving tea to Hinata, Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi.

Then Naruto walked over to the window, opened it, then gave tea to the surprised Shino, Neji, Lee, Kiba, Tenten, Ino, and Sakura. "…thanks," Sakura said, taking the tea. "You want to come in," Naruto said, "or would you like to stay out in the windowsill."

Deciding there was no longer a reason to stay outside, they all decided to come in. "so," Neji decided to ask, "When did you first now when we were following you?" "The whole time," Naruto said, drinking some of Hinata's tea, "you really need to work on your ninja skills."

Ignoring that Naruto had just stolen an indirect kiss from Hinata, Neji said, "There are no more ninjas." "That's not what Pervy-Sage told me," Naruto said, again drinking Hinata's tea. "Stop that," Neji said, "and, who?"

"Stop what," Naruto asked, looking up, "and who's who?" "Stop drinking Hinata's tea," Neji said, seriously ticked, "and who is this 'Pervy-Sage'?" "We're married now, aren't we," Naruto told him, taking another sip of tea, "Hinata and me I mean. And 'Pervy-Sage' is what I call Jiraiya."

"You're not married yet," Neji said, "and… wait, Jiraiya? How do you know Jiraiya?" "He's my godfather," Naruto said, taking one last sip of Hinata's tea. Neji and the others just stared. It was impossible to believe. This kid not only knew a well known author, he also said he was his godfather.

They wouldn't have believed it if said man didn't come in at that moment. "Hey Naruto," Jiraiya said, holding up a plastic bag, "I brought…" after seeing all the people in the room, he just said, "never mind," and came in.

"…you really do know him," Ino said after a while. "Yep," Naruto said, "told you Pervy-Sage was my godfather." "Don't call me that kid," Jiraiya said, "at least not in the company of others." "Now that I think about it," Hinata said, drinking her tea without thinking about it, "you said your godfather was a traveling author. I just never thought…"

"What," Jiraiya said, "that I might be the very author that he was talking about?" "By the way," Naruto said, smiling at Hinata, "thanks for the indirect kiss back." Then Hinata noticed that she had just drunk from her glass; the same glass that Naruto had drunk from just a few seconds ago.

After they had finally woken Hinata up from the faint she had sircum to after that, they all really started to talk to one another. Never knowing that just outside, yet another person stood, listening to everything happening inside. 'Well,' Sasuke thought, 'this is quite interesting.'
