Suteneko: Thanks for all the reviews! Hope you like this chapter too! I do not own Naruto!
A few months later, the Uchiha family invited Hinata and Naruto to have a picnic with them in the woods who agreed right away. But before they went, Mikoto got to the two girls and dressed them up.
Naruto was dressed in a red tunic contrast ditsy shirt and granddad-style button denim jeans that ended just above her knees. She wore red plaid canvas shoes that matched her shirt. With Naruto blushing so cutely from embarrassment, anyone could mistake Naruto for a girl when she was usually, supposedly seen as a boy when she really was a girl.
Hinata on the other hand was wearing a dress. The dress was white with black polka-dots which flared out on the bottom. On the right side, there was a black bow on the shoulder. She wore black leggings and white flats. On her head, she wore a white headband with a black bow on it. All in all, she looked adorable.
Itachi was smiling the whole way to the picnic site which made Sasuke curious.
"Nii-san, why are you smiling?"
"I'm smiling at the fact at how cute the girls are today."
Hinata and Naruto blushed a beetroot red instantly hearing that, "Itachi!"
"What? All I did was speak my mind."
The girls frowned and Itachi just smiled, amused.
Finally, they reached the site. After the preparations had been done, they set down to eat.
"Hey Hinata-chan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure Naruto. What is it?"
"Who is your idol?"
Hinata pursed her lips deep in thought.
Hiro nii-san?
Hanaka nee-san?
My mother?
My father?
"I guess I don't have one."
"Oh, why not?"
"I guess I just never found someone whom I want to be like to when I grow up."
"Oh, well mine is the Fourth!"
Hinata smiled at the fact Naruto idolized her own father.
"Why?"
"Because he defeated Kyuubi! He must be really strong to kill such a big powerful demon like that!"
Immediately, everyone besides Sasuke tensed.
I wonder if he'll ever know-?
Sasuke meanwhile was confused, "Why are all of you so tense?"
Fugaku's eyebrow twitched slightly.
Damn Sasuke's observant skills…
"So Hinata? How is your sister?" Itachi asked, immediately changing the subject.
"She's fine. Thank you Itachi."
"How old is she now?" Mikoto asked.
"3"
"Is she a prodigy like you Hinata?" Sasuke asked.
"No, she's ordinary. But she's a fast learner though and I'm sure it would help her a lot in her future."
Suddenly the sound of fire cackling caught the group's attention. The group turned to see two fires. One was in the north and one was in the south.
"Byagukan!"
"Oh my god! The Uchiha & Hyuuga compounds are under attack!"
"By who?" Itachi asked her
Hinata had a completely surprised expression on her face when she recognized the man fighting her father at the moment, "Orochimaru?"
Immediately the adult's eyes widened.
"Mikoto, you stay here with the children. Itachi let's go."
Hinata deactivated her Byagukan and glared at the Uchiha head, "Hold it right there! I'm not going to stand back and let my clan be attacked! I'm going!"
"But Hinata-!"
Fugaku stopped short when Itachi came up behind her and knocked her out. He did the same with Sasuke and Naruto.
"Itachi?"
"We all know how stubborn Hinata is. That was the best way."
"But the other children?"
"They might have wanted to come in and help."
Fugaku nodded, "You're right. Come on Itachi, let's get going."
Later on, it was revealed that Orochimaru had attacked both Konoha's dojutsu clans and due to the attack, their clans had lost quite a number of its people but luckily, Orochimaru didn't manage to get any of their corpses but unluckily, the Hebi bastard got away. Itachi mourned over the loss of his best friend, Shisui Uchiha whilst Hinata mourned over the loss of her two sensei, Hiro & Hanaka. Hinata's father, Hiashi had to undergo surgery due to the injury he got from his fight with Orochimaru but he made it out alright, much to the relief of his daughters. Hinata, herself was enraged that Itachi had knocked her out but more angry at herself for not being able to avoid it. Itachi had apologized and Hinata forgave him in the end because it wasn't Itachi's fault, he just didn't want her to get hurt. Naruto and Sasuke were sorry that such a thing happened but was there for Hinata & Itachi all the way.
It's been 4 years since that day. And today was the trio's genin test!
Naruto had grown out his shyness and was more open to others. He was known to be a very enthusiastic and cheerful boy. He eventually made friends with the other boys in his class like Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara & Akimichi Chouji. He even often played pranks with them well except Shino since he said he was too mature for that kind of stuff..
Naruto's short, spiky blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes has reminded many of the Fourth of what he looked like when he was young which shocked them greatly. He now usually wore a sleeveless white shirt that had a red swirl on the front and blue Capri pants that matched the regulation blue sandals he wore and also the kunai pouch he had on his right leg. He also got himself a dream. To be Hokage! He dreams to have the recognition of everyone so they'd know just how much he wants the village to notice him as Uzumaki Naruto so they'd stop hurting him and respect him.
Hinata had grown too. Physically that is, was 5'4 with a figure that many would kill for and many have drooled over. Her long. silky, midnight dark hair now ended at her waist. Her eyes were no longer the same white with a tinge of lavender Hyuuga eyes she was born with, they were now completely lavender, making her even more unique. She wore a sleeveless cream colored hoodie with the Hyuuga clan symbol on the back, white short sleeve shirt underneath, blue shorts, the regulation blue sandals and kunai pouch on the right leg. She also wore bandages on both arms from elbow down.
Sasuke had changed too. (He's still wears the same in the anime.) But Sasuke had gotten a façade over time. A cool bad-boy kind. People think of Sasuke to be arrogant and a cold rebel but really, he's kind and loves to helps others. But only Naruto & Hinata could break that façade of his. His family too can break it since they knew he was just acting. Hinata thinks that the only reason he got the façade was to match up his brother but she never dared ask him. Sasuke can get mad pretty easily.
Right now, the three friends were helping Naruto with his clone test. They had to take the genin test later in the afternoon so they were practicing a little first.
"Damn it why the hell can't I get this!" Naruto shouted out in frustration.
"Naruto," chided Hinata at him, "You have to use a set amount of chakra for clones didn't you pay attention to that in class?"
"Hey Hinata why don't you see how much chakra he's using with your eyes?" Sasuke asked as the idea hit him, "With your eyes, you can tell how much he's using and he can use that as a way to help him judge how much he's using."
"Just about to."
"Just why is he using so much chakra?" Hinata thought to herself.
She faced Naruto and made a hand seal, activating her eyes. She saw the world turn black and white like a photo negative and for the people, she could see their chakra network, the blue lines that ran over their bodies. She watched as Naruto gathered up his chakra and immediately saw it was too much.
"Wait Naruto that's too much." She told him and he stopped.
"Huh? That's too much?" He asked her confused and she nodded her head. He sighed and tried it again, but again she told him he was using too much. This went on for several more times before Sasuke got frustrated with the whole affair.
"Damn it just use as little chakra as you can!" Sasuke yelled out losing his patience.
"That is the least amount that I can use Sasuke! What do you think I've been trying?" He yelled back at him.
"Hinata just how much was that?" Sasuke asked.
Hinata sighed, "About twice what you use normally."
"He's using twice as much as me normally! How the hell can he use that much and call that a small amount?"
Hinata nodded her head and turned to Naruto, "Naruto, you've got to limit the amount you use. You need a LOW amount to make a clone. That's one of the reasons they teach us this move. But if you use too much, it won't work so that means..."
"You're screwed," Sasuke finished
Naruto shot Sasuke a glare, "I'm screwed? That's all you can say?"
Hinata frowned even more, there has to be some way to help Naruto right?
"Well actually, there is a way to help you Naruto."
The 12 year olds turned to see Itachi coming up to them.
"Aneki!"
"Sasuke" Itachi greeted back.
Hinata raised an eyebrow, "How are you going to help him?"
Itachi smirked, "Oh I have my ways."
"You'll really help me Itachi?" Naruto asked
"Of course but be prepared for hell for the next few hours."
"I''ll do whatever it takes!"
Hinata and Sasuke smiled, that's their Naruto alright.
Naruto: Orochimaru must pay for killing so many of our citizens!
Uzunaru99: Way ahead of you. Yo Anko!
Anko: *comes in, scowling* What you brat?
Uzunaru99: *tosses her an Orochimaru voodoo doll* Play with this okay?
Anko: *wicked grin comes acorss her face* Oh you bet I will! *runs off to find some pins*
Suteneko: *shakes her head* Please review!
Uzunaru99 then starts laughing loudly at hearing Orochimaru's blood curdling screaming and Anko's sadistic laughter.
Naruto: *sweatdrop* Sadists...
Suteneko: PS, the Orochimaru clan massacre idea was given to me by yukicrewger2!
Thanks a bunch for the idea!
