Tales of the Templar
Chapter 8: Training Day
Naruto arrived at his room tired. It was a very long day where he had little rest. When he opened the door, he was surprised to find Hinata there with a loving smile on her face. That smile is enough to melt the stress he had on his body. With their uniforms on, they slept together on his bed.
Naruto woke up first feeling well rested and he and Hinata went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, they decided to go for some 'training' with the Rookies.
Hinata went to her teammates while Naruto went to Team 7.
(With Hinata)
Hinata went to the training field where he saw Kiba and Shino and surprisingly Kurenai with her daughter Mirai in the field. Kiba saw her first and asked for a spar. She accepted of course as she wanted to test her accuracy with the bow against her teammates.
Shino attacked first, he tried to swarm Hinata with his insects but Hinata dodged them and shot three water arrows at Shino. Shino blocked it with his arms and grunted a little in pain. He made a nest of insects while he continued to direct his insects against Hinata.
Hinata realized this and continued to dodge Shino's insects and hid using a Genjutsu to conceal herself. Hinata prepared a sleep poison on her next arrow then she cancelled the Genjutsu. She decided to use an explosive arrow on the nest Shino prepared and immediately it blew up. Shino attempted to avenge it by throwing an insect bomb at Hinata. It hit her but she used Guardian Shield at the last minute and shot the sleep arrow on Shino, rendering him unconscious.
Kiba tried his hand next. He used Fang over Fang on Hinata but she dodged it. Hinata decided to place her bow on her back and deal with him using Gentle Fist. The two attempted to hit each other but Hinata gained the upper hand and struck all of Kiba's chakra points, taking him out of the fight. Akamaru decided not to fight Hinata after seeing his master beaten and gave up.
Kurenai was impressed that her former student was able to beat both of her teammates and without a scratch too.
"That was good work Hinata." Kurenai complimented Hinata.
"I trained with the best." Hinata said.
"May i ask who you trained with Hinata?" Kurenai asked while Hinata spaced out for a second.
"Toushiro-sensei. He's a Hyuuga like me." Hinata said while Kurenai remembered the "incident".
"I heard what happened to him. Naruto punished your father and the clan yes?" Kurenai asked with Hinata nodding.
"Yes. From what Father told me, Naruto used the Hyuuga clan's funds to pay for Toushiro-sensei's hospital bills. He also paid for Toushiro-sensei's legs with the clan's funds."
"Did Hiashi say anything about it?" Kurenai asked while Hinata shook her head.
"Simply put, Naruto-kun owns my or rather the Hyuugas now. He can simply break or build it however he wished. But that only happens when they don't fall in line." Hinata said.
"So they can't just say 'Hyuuga clan business' when it comes to Naruto?" Kurenai asked with Hinata nodding.
"That's right. Naruto-kun did not want history to repeat itself after what happened to the Fire Daimyo. So he did not let the Hyuuga clan have their own privacy like they did with Konoha."
"Very nice."
"Anyway, I've got to get going now Kurenai-sensei."
"Okay. You take care Hinata-Chan."
Hinata left the field and headed for the estates to spar with the Jinchuriki a little.
(With Naruto)
Naruto saw his teammates in a different field than Hinata's and came to them. Sasuke saw him first and angrily told Naruto about his brother being engaged. But Naruto countered him that it's officially legal and the rest of the villages will be informed in two days.
Sasuke decided for a spar again and Naruto agreed. Same thing for Sakura.
Sakura moved first and tried to use her super strength against Naruto but he easily blocked it with his hand. Sure the shockwave happened again but Naruto wasn't in pain. It shocked Sakura how did Naruto easily block it and the worst part is he wasn't using the Kyuubi's power (he IS the Kyuubi). Sakura then backed away from Naruto and used her Slug Fusion.
Naruto smiled when he saw her in that form. "Fascinating." He commented.
Sakura spat out acid against Naruto only for him to dodge it. She went behind Naruto and proceeded to wrap Naruto with her arms. Her arms elongating like rubber to further trap the Grand Master. Seeing no choice, Naruto grabbed a kunai and stabbed himself to get Sakura off him.
Naruto went for the counter attack and punched Sakura in the face. He didn't let up and went for the kicks. After the third kick, he went back to punching her in the stomach, pushing the air out of her.
While Sakura is getting her butt kicked, Katsuyu said to her in a pleading voice, "Please leave him alone! Lady Sakura! I don't know how much we could take!"
"But we could still beat him right?" Sakura asked but the Slug Summon shook her head.
Katsuyu kept begging for the pink-haired medic to leave Naruto alone. Eventually, she conceded and forfeited from the fight.
While all this was going on, Sasuke tried to use his Sharingan to copy what Naruto has, only to find it useless.
He decided to have a go at Naruto to prove himself worthy. So he went after Naruto using Fire jutsus But Naruto retaliated by absorbing the flames into his glove and fired them back at Sasuke.
"Nice glove Dobe, but it has to do more than just absorbing jutsus." Sasuke said with Naruto smirking.
"It can do more than that. What I just did is a sample of its power." Naruto said before using all of the Orbs against Sasuke.
Sasuke used his Rinnegan to create a giant rock orb (Shinra Tensei) to crush Naruto. It worked but Naruto used his Ninshu's Fingers to turn the debris into BATS and had them charge against Sasuke. Sasuke used his Chidori and charged at Naruto. The latter made a Rasengan using his right hand and charged at Sasuke. It resulted in a clash.
"You can't beat me with that Rasengan Dobe." Sasuke said as they charged.
"I have other ways to beat you." Naruto replied as they clashed.
After two minutes, Naruto won the clash plunged the Rasengan to Sasuke's stomach. Pushing him to a wall and making a crater out of it.
As Sakura is the only one standing, she acknowledged Naruto as the winner. Naruto thanked her then walked away, leaving Sakura to tend with the unconscious Uchiha.
Naruto went back to the estates and saw Hinata already done sparring with the other Jinchurikis. Together, they ate lunch and stayed with each other for a while in the Namikaze estates' gardens.
Naruto reveled in the presence of Hinata. He felt at peace whenever he touched and hugged her. He felt like he could be like this and not act the Grand Master as he always had to.
Hinata on the other hand only felt love for her master. She finally got the chance to be with him and to finally be useful to him and she's not going to waste it. She knew what happened to the other Hinata back in the other timeline and swore to herself that she will never leave Naruto's side and will follow him even in the blackest nights of darkness.
Naruto and Hinata sat on a bench and stared at the gardens, enjoying the peace and quiet. Their alone time was interrupted when Utakata appear in front of them.
"Naruto-sama, the documents have already been sent to the other villages regarding Itachi Uchiha."
"I will speak to Itachi regarding more...personal matters." Naruto said, Utakata nodded then sunshined away.
Naruto looked at Hinata, "You will serve as witness to my meeting here." He ordered, Hinata nodded.
Naruto stood up and offered a hand for Hinata to take. She accepted it and they walked inside the estates and into his office where Itachi waits with his hands behind his back.
