Chapter 7:
Banishment?:
Naruto looked at the position he was in and realized what it looked like he was doing.
"Nyah!" exclaimed Naruto.
He quickly threw himself off of the ground and to Tsunade's side.
Hinata was just as quickly on her feet, and she looked across the room to see her father.
She blushed a furious shade of red when she realized what it must have looked like they were doing.
"Father... I-I-I c-can explain!" pleaded Hinata.
"Ex... EXPLAIN!" exclaimed Hiashi incredulously.
"You both were just on the floor!" exclaimed Hiashi in disbelief.
Hinata blushed even redder, she was completely embarrassed.
Hiashi turned angrily to Naruto, and pointed at him.
"I would expect this from you!" said Hiashi, glaring at Naruto.
"But my own daughter!" exclaimed Hiashi.
He looked back to Hinata, who was nervously staring at the floor with her head bowed. She looked like she knew she had done something terribly wrong.
"This transgression against the Clan will not be tolerated, you will be severely punished." said Hiashi, closing his eyes in disappointment.
"Hey! HEY!" exclaimed Naruto.
Naruto stepped in front of Hinata with his arms out-stretched.
"She had nothing to do with this! If you are going to punish someone, punish me!" said Naruto.
Hinata gasped in surprise. Naruto was defending her, he was coming to her rescue, all for her. She was completely speechless.
Hiashi looked at Naruto in surprise. He was willing to take punishment in place of Hinata.
He could see that Naruto might actually care about his daughter, because he was willing to take the blame. But he had experience with boastful people like him. He knew that if Naruto actually knew of the punishment, and it was bad enough, that he would back down.
'He doesn't really care about my daughter, he just wants to play the part of the hero. I'll simply expose him for what he really is.' thought Hiashi.
"You are willing to take the fall for my daughter?" asked Hiashi.
"Absolutely! None of this is her fault!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Interesting... You do know that the punishment for doing anything in a sexual manner before marriage in the Hyuuga's main branch is banishment... right?" asked Hiashi with a smirk.
Everyone but Hiashi gasped at this.
"Hiashi!" exclaimed Tsunade in surprise.
"B-b-banishment?" gasped Hinata.
"I would say banishment is a fitting punishment. Defiling the heir before marriage would usually result in the death of the offender. So intead, I am offering you two choices." said Hiashi.
Naruto was completely shocked. He didn't expect anything this drastic at all.
"One. You take all of the blame for Hinata. She is not in the least in trouble. She will not get her title of heiress stripped away from her. But as punishment, you accept banishment from Konoha." said Hiashi.
"Two. You take none of the blame for this, and let Hinata take the fall. She will be stripped of her title as heir, and will be reduced to a branch member. But as punishment, there will be none. You get of Scott-free." said Hiashi.
Everyone could only stare at Hiashi in shock.
"I will leave it up to you, it is your choice." said Hiashi.
Hiashi crossed his arms, and began waiting for Naruto to make a decision.
Hinata was wide-eyed, staring at Naruto.
'I won't let him take the blame! He doesn't deserve this! I will take the fall, I have to!' thought Hinata.
She was going to make the decision for him, but she didn't get very far, as Naruto held out a hand to signal her to stop.
The mere movement held her still in surprise.
"Banishment from Konoha?" asked Naruto, his eyes watering up..
"That is correct." said Hiashi, watching the boy intently.
"If that is the price I must pay to save Hinata, then so be it." said Naruto bravely.
"Na... Naruto!" exclaimed Hinata.
Hinata was completely floored. He was willing to give uyp everything for her. She could feel the tears flow involuntarily from her eyes.
She was overwhelmed that Naruto would give up everything he worked for. His ninja rank, his home, and his friends, just so she would remain out of trouble.
Hiashi, Hinata, and Tsunade all stood in shock at what Naruto said.
Hiashi pushed his shock aside to think.
'This could all be just a one-shot deal, and he probably put all of his courage into one declaration, and if he were to re-think it, I bet he would back out.' thought Hiashi.
"You are willing to be banished in place of Hinata then? You will never be able to return to Konaha, and you will be stripped of your rank as a chunnin in this village. Are you sure this is what you want?" asked Hiashi.
Naruto looked straight into Hiashi's eyes and he felt the tears trying to escape his eyes.
"If that is the price, I will pay it." said Naruto quietly.
He took off his Hitai-aite and tossed it to Hiashi.
Hiashi caught it in surprise, almost dropping it.
They were all stunned that Naruto was willing to go through with it. He walked past Hiashi towards the Hokage's door.
"I care for Hinata-chan, and if I let her take the fall, everything she's ever worked for in her clan will be undone. I can't let something like that happen." said Naruto quietly, his hand against the door.
"Na... Naruto..." said Hinata in shock.
"Hinata is an amazing ninja, and an even better friend." said Naruto, slightly opening the door.
"She deserves a good and happy life." affirmed Naruto as he turned to Tsunade.
"I will miss you Baa-Chan." said Naruto shakily.
He felt himself breaking down, but kept pushing himself to retain his posture and composure.
"I will miss everyone, so please, tell everyone I know goodbye, and that they were the best friends I could ever hope to have." said Naruto quietly.
"Naruto!" exclaimed Tsunade, still shocked in place.
"Have a good life Hinata." said Naruto.
The tears finally escaped his eyes, rolling down his cheeks to drip onto the floor.
"I will miss you the most." said Naruto.
What Naruto was doing for Hinata, was the biggest declaration of affection, or anything for that matter, that she had ever gotten. She didn't want him to leave, she didn't want him to suffer, she wanted him to be happy. She had to do something, or Naruto would be banished, and she would never see him again.
Hinata was shaking, her eyes shut tight and tears poured out of them. She was barely standing, she couldn't take this. This was horrible.
Just the thought of such a thing happening to Naruto gave Hinata enough courage to stand up for him. Suddenly Hinata's gears were running at full. Her mind was done thinking, and her body acted.
"NO!" shouted Hinata.
She ran forward and wrapped her arms tightly around Naruto, preventing him from leaving.
"No Naruto! You can't do this! I won't let you!" shouted Hinata in tears.
Naruto was shocked all over again. He didn't have time to react.
"I'll take the fall! I WILL! I won't let you ruin your life, just because of me! I care about you too much! Don't leave!" shouted Hinata.
Naruto's eyes widened, his whole body froze, comprehending what she said.
"Hinata... I'm sorry. But it's my choice. I can't let this happen to you." said Naruto sadly.
More tears flooded to Hinata's eyes, and she tightened her grip.
She looked like she was trying to say something, but her she kept choking on her tears.
Hiashi couldn't take this anymore. Seeing his daughter cry had really gripped his heart.
"Wait... Naruto..." said Hiashi.
When Hiashi said this, he sounded almost emotional.
A look in Hiashi's face told Naruto that he had something important to say to him.
"The fact that you are willing to give up everything, just to keep my daughter happy, is enough for me..." began Hiashi.
Naruto and Hinata looked at Hiashi in suspense.
"To lift the punishment all-together." finished Hiashi.
"Neither of you have to be punished at all. You are both free to go." said Hiashi.
Naruto stood completely still, and felt a wave of relief sweep over him. He didn't have to leave his home, his friends, or his life. And to top it all off, Hinata wouldn't be punished at all.
'Hinata...' thought Naruto as he fell to his knees, bringing Hinata with him.
All of these emotions came flooding back to him too quickly. Happiness, relief, joy, comfort, and confusion, but one emotion stood out from the rest. It was the one emotion that he did not understand, but it was the strongest of his emotions.
Hinata was in his arms, the same look of relief on her face. The overwhelming happiness. The warmth from the care they had for each other.
These combined emotions overwhelmed his mind causing him to pass out.
Hinata felt so happy. All of the relief, the happiness, and the closure. She felt Naruto's body close to her's, it was enough to make her world turn black.
'Naruto...' thought Hinata as she slipped into unconsciousness.
They both fell over at the same time, completely mentally wiped out.
Hiashi stood there in amazement for a moment, but collected himself.
'I can't believe he went so far... I really underestimated him. I will still have to watch him very closely, but for now, I will give them both a free pass.' thought Hiashi.
Hiashi turned to leave, but stopped when Tsunade abruptly stood up from her desk, and slammed her hands on the surface.
"Hiashi!" shouted Tsunade.
Hiashi turned back around, and looked at her.
Tsunade did not look happy with him at all.
"What you did was despicable!" exclaimed Tsunade, not letting her anger get the better of her.
Hiashi blinked in fake-surprise.
"I do not know what you are talking about." said Hiashi.
"Hiashi don't lie to me! You and I both know, that there is no such punishment like that in the Hyuuga clan for something so mild! And besides, it was just an accident anyways." said Tsunade sternly.
"Accident?" asked Hiashi curiously.
"Yes. Hinata thought Naruto was guilty of your previous sexual harassment accusations, and hated him for it. She told him off, and really upset him, but Naruto left Hinata with the truth." said Tsunade with a smirk.
"The truth?" asked Hiashi.
"Yes, the tape for the restraining order meeting." said Tsunade with a smirk.
Hiashi's look suddenly changed to worried. He feared that his daughter had heard the whole tape.
"Don't worry, I cut some parts out." said Tsunade assuringly.
Hiashi only nodded in response.
"But anyways, Hinata came rushing in here after hearing the tape, and she apologized quite emotionally. They even forgave each other with a hug." said Tsunade.
She looked at the two teens that still laid unconscious on the floor.
"As they were hugging, you barged in and scared them apart." continued Tsunade.
"But when Naruto tried to stand up, his knee got caught on a floorboard, and he accidently knocked Hinata over and they fell into an innappropriate posture." said Tsunade.
Hiashi didn't know what to say to that, but none the less, he gave Tsunade a look of disbelief.
He then looked back and forth from Naruto to Hinata. Seeing their current stressed-out-beyond-belief states, decided that he should leave them be and take her word for it.
He nodded, and turned to open the door, but he stopped when he heard Tsunade's voice once more.
"You put these two through a lot just now. I happen to know for a fact that they already have enough problems to deal with. I suggest going easy on Naruto or Hinata the next time if you have a choice." said Tsunade.
Hiashi didn't respond, and simply left.
Tsunade was left with Naruto and Hinata, both unconscious on the floor.
'They are both rather cute together...' thought Tsunade.
Seeing them together in her office reminded her that they were supposed to be on a mission soon.
Tsunade sighed and decided that it was time that she called for a gathering before the mission.
'Naruto's emotions are swaying too wildly with Hinata around...' thought Tsunade as she smiled at the two.
'And with the Kyuubi's powers in Naruto, the combination of the two could be disastrous.' thought Tsunade as she picked up the phone, dialing in a few numbers.
She waited for a moment before hearing the other line pick up.
"Gai?" asked Tsunade.
"Yeeeeeessssss?" asked the over-enthusiastic Jounin.
"(Sigh) I need your team to go on the relocation mission with Team 8 and Team 7." said Tsunade.
She waited for the over-enthusiastically loud response she was expecting.
A few seconds went by and none came, but suddenly, the door to her office burst open.
"TEAM GAI!" shouted Gai as he skidded to a stop.
He had Ten Ten under one arm, and Neji under another. Lee was not-so-surprisingly standing right at his side.
Tsunade sat there in shock at the sight in front of her.
Suddenly Neji jumped out from under Gai's arm and ripped off Ten Ten's shirt.
"Ahhhhh!" screamed Ten Ten, instinctively covering herself.
"What was that for?" exclaimed Ten Ten, blushing a furious red.
But when she got a look at him, she immediately realized what it was for.
Neji was completely naked, and was using her shirt as a kind of kilt to cover himself.
Ten Ten stood stunned at the mostly naked Hyuuga boy in front of her. Her face flushed even more red, so she quickly looked away in embarrassment.
"GAI! God damn it!" shouted Neji in rage.
"What? A ninja has to be aware, and ready at all times!" defended Gai as he crossed his arms.
"I was taking a bath!" exclaimed Neji as he turned to storm out.
As he turned, he accidentally stepped on his make-shift kilt, and fell into Ten Ten.
He knocked them both over onto the ground, and Ten Ten awkwardly tried to brace herself from hitting the ground.
She put her hands out behind her back to cushion the fall, but she realized after she fell, that this was a big mistake.
Neji was nearly naked on top of her, and she wasn't wearing a shirt. Neji had her pinned to the ground, their noses inches away.
'Accidental sexual poses seems to be a recurring theme.' thought Tsunade in amusement.
As she thought this, she smiled and snuck across the room while everyone was looking at Neji and TenTen.
They all suddenly heard a click and saw a flash.
They looked over to see Tsunade with a camera aimed at them, and she was smiling mischievously.
She had not only gotten a picture of just Neji and Ten Ten, but she had gotten Naruto and Hinata in the shot as well.
"Oh my god!" exclaimed Lee.
"What is Hinata doing to Naruto's pants zipper?" asked Lee.
The mentioning of Hinata, got Neji's mind back into gear, and he finally realized what kind of position he and Ten Ten were in.
Neji quickly jumped off of Ten Ten, and stood up. But he almost jumped again when he saw what position his cousin was in.
"H-Hinata!" exclaimed Neji incredulously.
Hinata's face was pressed directly against Naruto's crotch.
"Eeee!" shreaked Ten Ten.
Everyone looked at Ten Ten to find that she was using both of her arms to cover her chest.
Ten Ten realized that when she was knocked down, her bra must have fell off.
Gai only stood there, shocked to see all of this happening.
Ten Ten was looking for her bra while covering herself, Hinata looked like she was sucking crotch, and Tsunade was rolling around on the ground laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked a voice.
They all looked to see that Naruto had woken up.
They all stopped moving, and held their breaths.
"What's everyone staring at?" asked Naruto.
Tsunade suddenly burst out laughing, Team 8 blushed, and Tsunade started snapping more pictures.
"What?" demanded Naruto again.
He suddenly realized that there was a heavy pressure on his crotch.
He looked down and froze in place, staring at Hinata.
Then the worst possible thing that could have happened, did.
Hinata had partially woken up.
She moaned slightly and stretched.
To Hinata, it was just a tired moan, but to everyone else, it sounded more sexual than anything.
They held their breaths to see what would happen next, but they were all surprised by an even worse thing that shouldn't have happened.
Hiashi came walking casually through the door, looking down at some papers in his hands.
Even Tsunade stopped what she was doing. She just wanted to have a bit of fun, but Hiashi walking in, was definitely not something that she wanted to happen.
"Tsunade, I just wanted to say that I was sorry for..." began Hiashi.
He stopped in mid-step by the door when he saw what was in Tsuande's office.
He first saw that Ten Ten had no shirt on, and her bra had misplaced itself.
Ten Ten saw him looking at her, and she frantically hid behind Tsunade.
"Gah! Where is it!" exclaimed Ten Ten as she turned even more red.
Realizing what she was looking for, Naruto spoke up.
"It's um... It's on Neji's head." said Naruto, pointing at Neji.
Neji then felt the top of his head and pulled off a pink lacy bra.
He saw it and blushed immediately. Without looking at her directly, he handed it to Ten Ten.
Ten Ten immediately hid behind Tsunade to put it back on.
Hiashi was now in complete shock as he saw the state of Neji, and figured out where Ten Ten's shirt had gone. He was about to yell at Neji about indecency, and the clan's marriage traditions. But then remembered the familiar voice that told Neji where the Ten Ten's bra was.
He slowly looked over at Naruto to see him in a kind of shock as he moved his hands against the wall trying to get out from under Hinata.
"OH MY GOD! HINATA!" exclaimed Hiashi.
Hinata then woke with a start, and looked up to see Naruto, noticing her mouth was just on his pants crotch.
(Bleahk!)
Blood came out of Hinata 's nose, and she flew onto her back and laid still, completely red in the face.
Naruto stood up and looked towards Hiashi and back towards Hinata, then saw that his pants were un-zipped.
He blushed and zipped up his fly, then noticed Tsunade holding a camera.
"You did this didn't you!" accused Naruto in annoyance.
"Guilty." said Tsunade with a cocky smile.
She held up her camera for everyone to see.
"Couldn't resist" said Tsunade waving the camera back-and-forth.
"You... you took pictures!" exclaimed Naruto.
Tsunade smiled and then made a few hand signs.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" said Tsunade while slammig her hand into the desk.
A small black shoe box appeared on her desk. She then quickly put the camera into the box and poked the box's side, making it disappear in a poof of smoke.
Hiashi glared around the room, and then finally laid his eyes on Naruto.
"So... this was not your doing?" asked Hiashi angrily.
"NO!" said Naruto defensively.
"I respect Hinata, and would never do anything without her proper consent." said Naruto, as though he had been made to say it before.
He looked over to Hinata and then back to Hiashi.
"Hinata is my best friend, and I would never do anything that would ruin our relationship." finished Naruto.
"Relationship?" asked Gai while giving him an almost perverted smile.
"Yes. As friends." confirmed Naruto while walking over to Hinata.
Naruto picked her up bridal style, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He began to wipe the blood out from under her nose, being delicate as he did it.
Hiashi lifted up his arms in protest, and was about to tell him put down his daughter. But he stopped himself when he saw the look on Naruto's face.
Naruto was looking into her face caringly, and with that caring look, came feeling of trust towards Naruto.
Hiashi lowered his arms when he recognized the look on Naruto's face. It was a face that he saw every day.
Every day that Hiashi got up from bed, he would see his wedding picture on his nightstand, and would see himself with that look his face, the look of love.
Hiashi then crossed his arms and smirked.
Everyone was surprised at this, and Tsunade even gave him a loook of surprise.
He was skeptical that it was love, but he could see that he cared none-the-less.
"Alright then Naruto, I understand" said Hiashi while looking at Naruto.
"But sexually, I want you to stay away from my daughter... Understand?"
Naruto was about to complain that Hiashi did not understand their relationship as friends, but decided that Hiashi had a right to feel this way, especially after what happened between them.
"Understood." affirmed Naruto, looking back down at Hinata.
"As for you Neji..." began Hiashi, but stopped once he got a good look at him.
He was wearing a lime green jump suit with orange leg warmers.
"If anyone says anything, I swear to god..." said Neji, blushing slightly in embarrassment.
Everyone looked from Neji, to Gai, to Lee, to see that they were all basically wearing the same thing.
Naruto, Ten Ten, and Tsunade all looked as though they were about to burst out laughing.
"What?" asked Lee looking confused.
"Where... (Ahem)... where did you get that... outfit anyway?" asked Hiashi incredulously.
"Oh that, I always keep a spare with me." said Lee giving Neji a thumbs up.
Neji groaned and walked over to stand next to Ten Ten and Tsunade. At least so that he wouldn't be standing next to Lee or Gai.
There was an awkward pause when Ten Ten's gaze met Neji's. It would be hard for it not to be awkward, especially after what just happened.
After a moment, Neji leaned in close to Ten Ten.
"Do I look that ridiculous?" asked Neji
Ten Ten blushed for a moment before saying anything.
"Yes... But I like you anyway." said Ten Ten assuringly.
She was blushing because he was close to her, and because she didn't have a shirt on.
Neji saw her blush and looked at her to realize she was missing an article of clothing.
"Oh." said Neji.
He reached down into the waist area of his jumpsuit to retrieve Ten Ten's shirt. He pulled it out of the collar of the jumpsuit and handed it to her while blushing.
"Here." said Neji.
He moved in closer to give her the shirt. As Ten Ten put on the shirt she realized that Neji had not moved back, but stayed closer to her. She blushed when she realized this, but blushed even more when she realized that Neji was watching her the whole time she had no shirt on.
He was still looking at her with rapt attention, as though he was learning something new in school. Neji was studying her figure, as though he had never seen it before.
TenTen wanted to say something, but couldn't. She had felt amorously towards Neji for a long time, and now that he was finally giving her attention, it felt good.
All the time they were teammates, Neji looked at her as a team-mate, not a possibility as a mate.
Now that he had seen her without her shirt or bra, he noticed that she actually had a very nice figure.
As he looked around her figure, he stopped and looked at her butt. He became fixated on it, almost wondering where it had been hiding all these years.
Hiashi saw this and sighed to himself.
'Is every child I raise going to be a pervert?' thought Hiashi as he put his hand to his forehead.
He looked as though he was laboring a headache.
'Hopefully Hanabi will turn out better.' thought Hiashi refering to his younger daughter.
Suddenly Kiba came bursting through the door, looking really agitated.
