Young Love
Chapter 7
Naruto woke up the next day with Hinata in his arms (no there wasn't any funny business between them) at that very moment he realized just how fortunate he was to have her. She was the heiress to an ancient and powerful clan, she was beautiful, she had money, and of all the suitable men in the world, she had chosen him. While he was lost in his thoughts, Hinata woke up. She was cold so she snuggled up closer to him. He smiled.
As he started heading outside he realized something; he hadn't taken off his hitai-ate (forehead protector/headband) for the entire time after he had gotten it! He had even slept with it on! "Ah, well" he thought "might as well get ready for today… what is today anyway?" he stopped and started laughing when he realized that he would have a Jonine assigned to him. Hinata wondered what was so funny and he told her what he had remembered. She smiled this time. Lost in thought she wondered if her life with Naruto was really worth giving up what she had. In the middle of her thoughts, Naruto took her lapse of concentration and planted a kiss right on the mouth. Hinata was surprised, turning a deep shade of crimson, then REALLY started fighting back. By the end of it, they were tossing and turning on the ground (their clothes are on, you idiots), making out like there's no tomorrow. Sasuke walked by and gave them a pathetic look before continuing on his way with a jealous expression. Eventually, they had to stop flirting with each other and walked to the place where they were supposed to meet their sensei, holding hands the whole way.
While waiting for their new sensei, Hinata took to practicing some of her own jutsu, while Naruto began dreaming of what life would be like with Hinata at his side. Sakura hadn't been present at the naming of the teams, so she was clueless about the whole Naruto and Hinata thing, so when she saw him she noticed the strangest thing. He actually seemed… well, more mature (let's put it that way lol). She quickly formulated a plan to make him his.
"Oh Naruto!" she cried out.
"Huh? Oh err hi Sakura."
"Soo ummm after today's training you want to… maybe… get a bowl of ramen?" she asked coyly.
"Uhhh I'd love to but… Hinata and I have other plans." He responded weakly.
The look on Sakura's face was priceless.
"W-W-What?" she stuttered. "No way… NO WAY! She couldn't have gotten up the courage to ask him… could she? No. he has to be bluffing, trying to make me jealous!" she assured herself.
Unfortunately for her, at that very second Hinata called to Naruto "Naruto-kun, will you please help me practice?" she asked almost 3 times as coyly as Sakura had flirted with him.
"Sure, Hinata" he said trudging over. "What can I help you with?" he asks unwittingly.
"This" she said before tackling him to the ground and began fighting with him
"WTF!?!?!?" exclaimed Sakura and as she ran over to investigate she saw that they weren't fighting, they were making out.
Sakura's jaw went slack, she just sat there staring.
Hinata giggled "Oh, hi Sakura, I didn't see you there." She said politely
Sakura's mouth was moving like she was trying to talk, but no sounds came out. Hinata giggled again and said "when you feel like talking, come find me" before getting back to Naruto.
At that very instant their Jonine leader, Kakashi arrived. Naruto and Hinata straightened out instantly and stood up. Sakura still looked like she had been hit with a truck, but she had stopped her mouth.
"Humph. You all look pathetic; blondie over there looks like he doesn't even know what a shinobi is, while miss shy here looks like she couldn't hurt a fly, and don't even get me started on that slack-jawed billboard brow over there. They must have REALLY lowered the standards recently... Oh well time to move on to the exercise" he grumbled as if he couldn't care less if they were turned into human pincushions for shuriken and kunai. "You have to take these bells from me before lunch. If you fail you miss lunch and go back to the academy, it's just that easy. You have around 5 hours. Go!"
Hinata and Naruto looked at each other. There was a barely perceptible nod, and they split off in different directions, disappearing into the underbrush. Sakura, still being KO'd from the NaruXHina thing just went thump on the grass and was down for the count.
"So much for her help" thought both Hinata and Naruto simultaneously.
Naruto suddenly jumped from his tree and, wielding a kunai, jumped at Kakashi. Kakashi intercepted him in mid-air with a set of shuriken. Just before the collision with Kakashi's deadly missiles, Naruto was replaced with a log (completely impaled with the deadly metal stars), which landed harmlessly in front of him.
"Substitution; One of the most basic jutsu, Naruto, You'll have to do much better than that." Chided Kakashi.
Suddenly, Naruto jumped from the trees opposite of the log with 2 doppelgangers at his side. "Uh oh, looks like Kakashi's gonna have to learn some manners huh boys?" Said the lead Naruto. The other two smiled and started pumping chakra into their hands. "Wanna see something that Hinata taught me???" asked Naruto with a huge grin on his face; "Tenketsu Overload Jutsu!!!" he whispered under his breath. The chakra in his hand started pulsing "it's ready" thought Naruto. With that, Naruto ran towards Kakashi, arms pulsing with energy. When he started to attack Kakashi, instead of using fists, he was using open palms.
Hinata was listening in but was having trouble comprehending. "But I never taught him any moves… all I taught him was how the juken (gentle fist) style works… what could he be planning? And on top of that he must have left a backup in case it didn't work… the question is where? OF COURSE!!! Naruto-kun is a genius!!!" she thought with excitement as she figured out his backup idea (she still had no idea what the technique was though)
(F.Y.I. for those of you new to the series, the Juken, or gentle fist style of attack works so that when a Hyuga hits an opponent, they release chakra into the enemy's body, where it will cause damage to the internal organs or the enemy's chakra system… c'mon people you gotta know these things . at least read Naruto Manga book 9 geeze…)
Kakashi ducked under the first attack, sending a Naruto doppelganger over his head, grabbing another's arm, as to stop him from unleashing the chakra in his hand. Kicking the final doppelganger away, it vanished in a puff. As the one behind Kakashi tried to attack, Kakashi merely grabbed him by his face and flung him into a tree where he disappeared into a gout of smoke like the last one. The one that was the real Naruto was shortly punted in the ribs in the direction from which he had attacked. Once he was done coughing up blood, he smirked. "HINATA!!! NOW!!!" he cried, standing and walking towards Kakashi.
Hinata had been waiting for the signal from Naruto, so when she heard it, she quickly used the substitution jutsu- on the log that Naruto had strategically placed there! In short order she closed off all chakra points available from his back and then proceeded to hold a kunai up to his throat while Naruto relieved him of his bells, one for each Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura.
Kakashi smirked. "Good job, guys you pass. You're the first Genine to beat me" he said laughing, but at once stopped as he started spitting up blood. "Would you guys be so kind as to escort me to the hospital?" He asked as he lost consciousness. After Hinata re-opened his chakra points, Naruto brought Kakashi to the hospital on his back, as Hinata took Sakura just in case…
