Naruto and Hinata: The Master and the Princess

Chapter 6: Cloudy with a Chance of Eyeshadow

A week after the near rape of Saya, Hinata, Itachi and Saya began treating each other as friends. Although Itachi isn't nearly impressed as Saya on Hinata. He gave her a chance to prove herself.

Itachi asked Naruto for permission to court Saya, Naruto agreed but not before pulling Itachi to his office and giving him 'The Talk'. He also did the 'You hurt my daughter and I'll make you pay' kind of warning.

This is one of the very few moments were Itachi was truly afraid of Naruto, but it was worth it as Itachi knew what is to fall in love.

Hinata woke up the day after and saw Naruto talking to Shikamaru and Temari. The latter being a Templar ambassador for Suna. It may seem that she heard the middle of the conversation.

Naruto saw Hinata going to him and raised his hand at her, telling her to wait.

"Our alliance between Suna and the Templar Order is finalized thanks to your brother.."

"Yes Naruto-sama." Temari replied. "Gaara is now finalizing papers with your sister."

"Very good. You will supply us jewels and minerals, and in exchange, we will provide you men to accompany yours to transport water to Suna."

"I will tell Gaara that as part of the alliance."

"Very well, Temari." Naruto said then he directed his attention to Shikamaru, "You are taking Temari out on a date yes?"

"This is a drag...yes I'm dating her."

"Well, I'll keep my mouth shut and let you two have your date." Naruto said before his voice turned dangerously low, "but if I hear that you mistreat her in any way Shikamaru, I'll see to it that everyone in Suna, your mother and Gaara included, know about your relationship with Temari."

"Listen to him Shika." Temari told the Nara.

"Troublesome, Okay. I promise to treat her well."

"Good. You may go now."

Naruto then motioned Hinata to come closer as Shikamaru and Temari went away.

"Welcome back Hinata."

"Is the Order is allied with Suna then?"

"Yes. Their minerals would be invaluable but our work doesn't stop."

"What can I do to help?"

"An impressive attitude!" Naruto complimented, "If only more of my friends spoke like that..."

"Anyhow..." he continued, "You are to head to Kumo and aid the Raikage with some tasks. Mainly the Hyuuga problem."

"But how? I can't give one of my own clansmen to Kumo. It would trigger a diplomatic incident."

"I believe I may have a solution." Naruto said as he snapped his fingers and a briefcase appeared. "It contains blood cells and genes of past Hyuugas. All frozen in storage and still pure and healthy."

"What do I tell the Raikage when I deliver that briefcase to him?"

"Tell him that I will need that Hyuuga Guard he has back and he can keep those blood cells and genes."

"May I ask where you got the samples from?"

"Usually after birth, we take in the blood sample of everyone and place them into the archives. Same is true for Konoha."

"So what will Kumo do with the blood samples and genes of the Hyuuga?"

"Tell them to inject the cells into any volunteers and there they will become true Hyuuga."

"That's some scientific stuff you did there Naruto-kun."

"Indeed. I took a page out of Danzo's playbook and used blood splicing as a solution to Kumo wanting the Byakugan."

"Can you explain to me how would injecting the blood into a Kumo nin would turn them into a Hyuuga?"

"Simply put, the knowledge as well as the Dojutsu will be applied to the person injected by those samples."

"Does it work?"

"Certainly. It was tried and tested in Uzu and no ill effects happened."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Not harmful per se. But it's a slow and a very long process."

"Okay. If it means I don't have to sacrifice someone to be a stud for Kumo, then I'll deliver that briefcase."

"Good. You're also going to help the Raikage deal with 'extra matters' he couldn't have his men do. I think they're a waste of time but you can do them if you want some more money in your pocket."

"I'll leave immediately Naruto-kun."

"Hinata wait," Naruto called out. "Jiraiya is absent right now because he and Baa-chan are heading out to speak to the Fire Daimyo and heal those affected by the radiation. So Saya will be your partner for this mission."

"Okay Naruto-kun." Hinata answered then she walked to the estates and board the WindWhisper.

Hinata saw Fuu and Shino talking.

"Hey guys." She called out.

They greeted her and kept talking. Once their talk is done, Hinata revealed to Shino that Fuu is a Templar and he must gain the approval from the Grand Master to even speak to the Jinchuriki. Shino raised an eyebrow about this and agreed to speak to Naruto.

"I must warn you Shino-kun. Naruto-kun's approval won't be easy to get. You'll need to become a Templar and earn his trust which is not easy either."

Shino nodded and walked to think about it.

Hinata went to the WindWhisper's helm and took the wheel with Saya beside her.

(Kumo, two days from takeoff)

Hinata went to the Raikage's office using her ring to gain entrance. She spoke to the Raikage and told him that she was sent by Naruto along with Saya.

"So did your Grand Master took care of our Byakugan problem?"

"Indeed, Raikage-sama. And we have the proof." Hinata replied while she motioned Saya to bring out the briefcase and show it to the Raikage.

"Those are blood cells and genes. What are we going to do with those?"

"Inject them to anyone who will volunteer to become Hyuuga. It will be a slow process, but you'll get the Dojutsu you wanted so much." Hinata explained.

"Very well, I'll have my best ninjas get ahold of that briefcase and-"

"But," Hinata interrupted. "Naruto-kun wants the Hyuuga guarding you back to his service in exchange for that briefcase."

"Done." The Raikage finished. Meanwhile Yugito eyed Hinata and was told by her tenant that she holds great power. Not as much as Naruto's, but certainly greater than your average Hyuuga.

"I was told that you have some tasks you couldn't have your men do?" Hinata asked. Having Saya give the briefcase to Mabui.

The Raikage told her that they could use her help in healing their wounded, hunting down some beasts attacking their caravans, and also repairing their Wi-Fi hotspots.

For healing the wounded, Hinata and Saya went to the Kumo hospital. Hinata used her healing ninjutsu combined with her healing water to heal any sort of wounds marked on the skin. She used her cream to clean any burns and cuts in the patients.

The doctors were very impressed by her efficiency in this work. She completed her task in under two and a half hours.

Hinata hunted down the beasts attacking the caravans. They were flying but with Saya's help using fire jutsus, they brought down the flying beasts.

The hardest part is repairing their Wi-Fi hotspots. Hinata is no mechanic but she used an instruction manual nearby to figure out how to repair it. Turns out the reason they were damaged is because of a nest of spiders. Saya burned the nest and Hinata used water jutsu to clear away the spiders.

With those tasks done, Hinata and Saya returned to the Raikage who was very impressed by the reports given. With a new way to produce Hyuugas, the Raikage then tells Hinata...

"Tell that blonde Grand Master of yours that Kumo is willing to be an alliance with the Templar Order."

Hinata nodded and she and Saya left Kumo via WindWhisper.

(Konoha)

Hinata walked by and saw Naruto eating in the Ichiraku restaurant. She sat beside him and saw that he had eaten ten bowls of ramen.

"So Hinata, how's your trip to Kumo?"

"I gave the Raikage the briefcase and asked him to release the Hyuuga under your command which he agreed,"

"You're doing great. You know I have thousands of ninjas during my term as Grand Master. Few meet my expectations, fewer still surpassed them. We still have a long way to go, but don't let that bother you because we are making good progress."

"I also did those extra tasks you mentioned about Naruto-kun."

"Well then, here is your reward." Naruto gave Hinata a wallet with lots of ryo.

"And here's for the extras." He gave Hinata a scroll. "Very powerful, use it well." Hinata opened the scroll and realized that it's A-Rank jutsu!

"Thank you Naruto-kun. But what is this scroll for?"

"This jutsu allows you to heal your allies or strengthen the next jutsu they use. Like I said, very powerful."

"Nice, I need to learn how to use it."

"Anyway, good job in making Kumo ally themselves to our cause. You've earned yourself a break."

Hinata nodded and ate alongside Naruto in Ichiraku's.
