How Could I Know?

By: The Hylian Rider

Chapter 8:

Naruto walked confidently out of the Uchiha compound. He felt as though he was royalty, and he was as royal as ninjas got anyway. He was dressed today in a pair of white pants that stretched and weren't baggy. His shirt was a deep, dark blue with the Uchiha crest on the back. He had his forehead protector on, of course, and felt as happy as he had ever been. He had a great girlfriend who was utterly devoted to him, he two brothers, one of which was a genius of the Uchiha clan and the other was the Kazekage. Naruto felt like he was finally starting to get what he deserved.

As the cool wind blew past him Naruto threw on his chuunin vest and pulled Hinata outside. They began to walk up the street as the sun was setting. Hinata was wrapped tightly around her lover's arm and her head was on his shoulder. Naruto turned to her and smiled.

"I love you," he said. "Hinata-chan."

"I'll always love you, Naruto-kun."

Naruto began to walk to the Hyuuga complex. When the appeared near the large steel gates several tall male members leapt down and got in the 'gentle fist' style. Naruto stood tall and proud without any fear of pain or death. The Hyuuga closest to Naruto spoke.

"State your name and purpose here."

"Our names are Uchiha Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata. As for our purpose, we've come to gather Hinata-chan's things." Naruto replied.

Hinata turned to look at Naruto. He looked so... brave, standing like that. He was upright but not gloating, strong but not strutting. He was the ideal gentleman, yet still with the Naruto touch to it. The man glared at him and Hinata thought that there wasn't any chance in hell of Naruto entering.

"We are the Hyuuga's and simple chuunin like yourself don't deserve to step on our grounds. We have the higher authority here."

"I believe your mistaken," said Naruto. "I am an Uchiha, who's authority exceeds the Hyuuga's."

The man looked at Naruto for a few moments. Naruto could see the brain working quickly behind the forehead. If he allowed Naruto to go in, the punishment from Hiashi may be terrible. Yet he couldn't very well annoy the Hokage by refusing her Ototo and one of the last of the Uchiha clan entry. There was only one thing the Hyuuga could do.

"Fine, Uchiha Naurto, your allowed in."

Naruto thanked the man then walked into the lovely grounds. They were covered by flowers and other admirable plants. The day was a bright and sunny one and it made seeing the grounds all the better. Rain from the night before still clung to some of the grass and leafs. It made them shine and sparkle in a way that wasn't normally possible. Naruto smiled with his mouth slightly open and pulled Hinata towards the house which was almost worthy of the garden of Eden that surrounded it.

The large stone doors were pushed open by the chuunin blonde. Naruto called out for Hiashi and the man with long flowing hair came walking out of the dinning hall. When he saw Naruto and Hinata standing side by side he became downright pissed.

"You, You ungrateful little BITCH!" he said and raised his hand to strike Hinata. "And YOU! You goddamned demon! Hoodwinking my daughter, making her your whore." Hiashi had finally said what he thought, but he had defiantly crossed the line.

"I don't really care what you ever do to me. But, when you even think about striking my Hinata-chan, I will kill you!"

Naruto raised his other hand and struck Hiashi across the face. The Hyuuga lord was sent backwards from all the anger in the blow. Hiashi leapt back up and dashed at Naruto with a blinding speed. Naruto calmly side-stepped him and elbowed him in the ear. The Hyuuga lord fell the ground the spun using rotation. Naruto pushed a wave of his own chakra the other way to combat it and canceled out the effects. Hiashi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Don't take me lightly, teme." Naruto hissed.

Hinata looked at the battle with fear. She knew that her father was an insanely strong person. What she forgot was that Naruto had been training hard over the past few years and he had gotten much stronger then anyone thought he could. The problem was that her loved one was in danger, and when the one you love is in danger, you instantly doubt their strength no matter the cause. It's an unfortunate effect of love.

Naruto leapt up in the air and formed several quick hand signs.

"FIRE STYLE: GRAND PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!" Naruto called and he release an angry wheel of flames at the older man. The Hyuuga took several steps back and used rotation again. Naruto landed and preformed more hand signs while dodging the reflected fire.

"EARTH STYLE: EARTH WALL BARAGE!"

The Hyuuga lord nimbly leapt side-to-side avoiding the giant packs of sludge.

"THUNDER STYLE: CHARKA BLADES!"

Naruto pumped chakra through his hands and made it into the shape of two katanas. Hinata gasped. Even she didn't think he had managed to become this strong. He must've been holding back before at the chuunin exams from what everyone saw. Naruto ran forward and slashed at Hiashi's head. The Hyuuga drew his own sliver blade in a flash, and stopped it. Naruto flipped the other chakra sword up-side down and swung again. His blade occupied, Hiashi leapt, flipping over Naruto to dodge.

Naruto turned around then jumped in the air releasing the chakra swords. He was making hand signs again, still faster this time. He had gone through hell to get here but his kid was jumping and pulling out jutsu like Kakashi.

"WATER STYLE: WATER DRAGON BOMB!"

Water from the fountain outside changed and morphed into the style of a huge dragon. The water monster flew right at Hiashi and the Hyuuga began to make hand signs.

"Wind style: Bull of the Wind!" Hiashi said.

A bull of wind began to run through all the water, and right at Hinata. Naruto moved quickly.

"WIND STYLE: SAND COFFIN!" Naruto cried in a panic.

Sand rose from the floor of the Hyuuga compound and covered the beast. It soon vanished leaving Naruto, Hinata and Hiashi cover in sand and water, which really just made it mud. Hiashi swore being tired of fighting the blonde youth.

"Damn you Kyuubi. I hope you burn in hell!"

"I'll meet you there," Naruto responded. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

Several shadow clone appeared around Hiashi and pulled out a knife, running at him.

"LEAF STYLE JUTSU! ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF HELL!"

Hiashi turned around and felt one Naruto plunge a knife up where the sun don't shine. Both Hyuuga's faces paled, Hiashi's a lot more then Hinata's. Then, the Hyuuga lord let out an angry howl and flew into his own ceiling clutching his bleeding backside. Naruto walked over to Hinata and kissed her, even though she was covered in mud. Then they heard a small cough from the end of the hall. Hanabi, Hinata's little sister had shown up.

"You should leave now, Hanabi." Hinata warned.

"I don't want to hurt you, sister, but I can't allow a demon to take you for his desires." said the younger girl.

Hiashi fell the ground and landed on his head, knocking him out. Naruto started to turn to face the girl, but Hinata grabbed his arm.

"Wait Naruto-kun," she said. "I shall handle her."

Hinata activated her byakugan and stood in her unique style. Hanabi rushed at her sister and Hinata spun on one foot rapidly to side-step her sister and then kicked her in the back. Hanabi's eyes widened in shock. Her sister had never defeated her once in four years of combat, yet now she could defeat her easily? No, that couldn't be right! It had been a fluke, surely. Hanabi rushed her sister again and pulled a chakra covered fist back. Hinata's open palm made it first. It made Hanabi go flying backwards into a pillar.

"Gomen, Nii-chan, oka-san." said Hinata.

Naruto stared at her for a little bit.

"Come on Hinata-chan, let's go, before they wake up again." Naruto said.

He kissed her on the check and Hinata stood up. She embraced him tightly and never wanted to let go.

"Thank you for all off this Naruto-kun. I love you so much, and I know I probably don't tell you it enough, but I can't even begin to explain how much you do mean to me. I love you so much Naruto-kun, I'd do anything for you."

Naruto stroked her check lovingly and kissed her nose lightly.

"I know you do. I love you too Hinata-chan. You've always liked me for me. Been there for me no matter what stupid idea went through my head. You've always done what I wanted to. I mean, you left your family just to be with me and I know that can't be easy. I'm really sorry it had to be like this. I didn't mean to make things so hard on you. I love you more then anything Hinata-chan." Naruto said and kissed her warmly.

When they broke apart Hinata looked at him.

"I love you more." she said.

"No way, cause I love you more then you love me." Naruto retorted.

"No way, I love you more then anything."

"Nope. I love you more then my ambition to become Hokage!"

"I love you more then my need to stay as a ninja of Kohona." Hinata said, trying to thwart him.

"I care about you more then ramen!" Naruto said.

"...N-N-Nani?" asked Hinata.

"There's the stutter again." said Naruto and Hinata poked her fingers together. "It's ok Hinata-chan, but I do mean it. I care about you more then anything in the whole wide world. So, if I had to choose between you and ramen I would ban it."

"...I love you Naruto-kun."

"I love you too Hinata-chan. Let's go grab your things."

They walked up a set of stairs before entering Hinata's room. Naruto hadn't gotten a good look at his place before. Now he was he noticed one thing. His face was everywhere. She had gone so far as to make an "I love Naruto-kun" shirt. Naruto shook his head at her.

"What am going to do with you?" he asked.

She smirked and kissed him heatedly. Naruto moaned a little. No matter how hard he tried she managed to be the dominate one in this battle of the mouths. His infinite stamina, so useful in training, had no effect against Hinata's mouth. Hinata meanwhile, was on cloud nine. She was slowly growing lightheaded in her own little heaven as she wrapped her arms happily around her boyfriend's head. Naruto trying not to pass out, and wrapped his hands around Hinata's waist.

Hinata opened her mouth and ran her tongue hungrily across his lips. Naruto granted her access to his mouth and she darted in quickly. Naruto gratefully massaged her tongue with his. The scent and taste made all of his scenes go haywire. Naruto moaned and pulled Hinata closer into his body. Hinata moaned back and tired to pull Naruto's lips closer to her's. Naruto put his tongue in Hinata's mouth as she drew her tongue back in. Naruto pulled himself out of Hinata's mouth and they broke apart, keeping their lips close.

"I love you." Naruto whispered.

"I love you too, Naruto-kun." Hinata quietly replied.

Naruto placed his lips on hers again and moved his hands up and down her back. Hinata moaned again and started playing with his hair. Naruto and Hinata broke apart reluctantly and opened their eyes. Naruto spoke first.

"Come on, grab your stuff and we'll get back home."

Hinata nodded and started grabbing clothes and other things. When she had all she thought she would need she grabbed Naruto, and they leapt out of the open window. They over rooftops and through trees with some of the upmost ease, as ninjas do. Then, they heard the small clink of a kunai knife. Naruto turned quickly and threw a three-pronged kunai at a tree. Then he made three hand signs for the replacement jutsu and called out the name of the fourth's special move.

"Hiraishin!"

Naruto vanished in a flash of light and reappeared behind the figure who'd been spying on them. Naruto pulled out a Kunai and held it to the figure's neck. It was the biggest pervert ever, Jiyria. Naruto cursed and kicked the sage in the head sending him falling over onto the floor.

"Wow, brat. You've gotten better, but why hit me?" asked the toad sage.

"GIVE IT!" Naruto demanded.

Jiyria started to whimper and then handed over his notebook with tears in his eyes. He pleaded but Naruto opened it and saw what he'd expected to see. The pervert had made notes on the whole of his and Hinata's relationship, including a few things that never had happened. Naruto angrily threw the book in the air and then formed hand seals.

"FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL JUTSU!"

Naruto jumped down and grabbed Hinata's arm to take her back to the Uchiha compound. When they arrived at their room Hinata quickly closed the door then tackled Naruto hungrily. She looked into his blue eyes.

"I love you Naruto-kun."

"I love you too, Hinata-chan."
