* Okay, so College is actually a lot more strenuous that I thought, so I do apologize in my delay in updating. I would like to note that I am a strong fan of Naruto, however I am not Kishimoto Masashi, so therefore I will make mistakes, and this story may not revolve just like the actual storyline, I would find that to be quite boring. **
The sun's light painted over the dark shadows of the night's sky, bleeding through the darkness. Naruto smiled, even though he was on the verge of passing out from pure exhaustion. He had discovered that training was much easier in the early mornings, before the sun sapped all of your energy. So many things were changing in Naruto's life, he wasn't even sure how to wrap his mind around all of it.
" If I am to be with Hinata, I must protect her with my life, and I must become stronger then ever before."
Thought Naruto while applying some ointment to his chakra burns. Naruto had been awake for hours, trying to come up with his own original Jutsu, nothing like his Sexy Jutsu, because now he needed something real, something that could save lives.
" Damn it, why is this so hard?" muttered Naruto
Sure, he understood the basic rules, combine chakra, usually along with your chakra affiliation, and boom! You'd produce a Jutsu. However, all Naruto was getting was explosions and pain.
" You know, even the most powerful Ninja have encountered problems with creating Jutsu's, you shouldn't take it so personally" Garra said, while advising Naruto's training.
" Garra, This is ridiculous! I will master my own Jutsu, somehow, and it will be one that will save a life." Naruto grinned.
" Naruto, do you have to return to Konoha today?" Garra asked, while gazing at the ground.
"Uh, well yes, only because I need to take care of some unresolved issues. Why? What's wrong Garra? You look, scared." Naruto gasped.
" Naruto, I must ask a favor of you. I am about to ask one of my ANBU leaders, to marry me. Her name is Katana, and I do plan on having children. One day, I may ask that you take in one of my children. I as you know never quite grasped how to love as a young Jinchuuriki, and you did. I ask that you train him when he reaches the appropriate age, so that he would not turn out like me. Can you do that for me?"
"Garra, you don't have to ask. You're like a brother to me, of course I will." Naruto smiled.
"Thank you" Garra sighed.
" Naruto-kun?"
" Hinata! You're awake. I'm glad. We need to get ready to head back to Konoha today. There's a storm coming, and we don't want to get caught in it." Naruto explained as he drew her into a hug.
The sensation that radiated from them both, was knee locking. It felt so right, to be held by each other that they moved closer, and were now meshing their bodies together.
"Ummm." Garra coughed.
Naruto and Hinata broke apart, both blushing.
" Well goodbye for now Garra, if you need anything, just send a scroll." Naruto smiled as he shook his hand.
" Same to you friend. I bid you farewell."
With that Naruto and Hinata started the long journey back to Konoha.
