Last Time: Last time In "Konoha's Runaway Demon", after a little chat between Iruka and Anko. Tsunadae believed It was best for Naruto to move to his apartment to rest. By then Sakura came to visit him and now she's with him In his bed.
What's goanna happen next?
(Location: Konoha, Specific Location: Naruto's Apartment)
A sound of a groan was heard. It was morning, by then people would always groan and wake up to start of a new day of their lives.
However.
This groan was not heard of for the past two weeks. This groan, belonged to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
He has finally awaken!
"Ahhhhhhhhh man! What happened! All I remember was going to meet my team at the bridge then…. BLACK! I'm out cold. What the hell happened anyway!" Naruto Thought as he stretched his whole body, "OH NO! DAMN IT NO!" Naruto Thought as he Just realised that he missed his chance with Sakura, "DAMN IT! It was the anniversary for the day I met Sakura-Chan….. And now It's ruined…" Naruto Moaned, as he began to open his eyes slowly
However.
He was stopped when he felt bandages on his eyes.
"What the…." Naruto Thought as he unwrapped the bandages around his eyes
At first his eyes were a little blurry. But soon he regained his vision. He looked down on himself to find out that he wasn't In his normal pyjamas that he's usually In, but Instead he's In hospital robes.
"How did this get on me?" Naruto Asked himself, as he decided to look under It
When he did that he realised that he was covered In bandages, his eyes widened at the site of his body. His chest was completely filled with bandages. He was shocked, he didn't feel any pain when he was knocked out. When he touched It to feel how hurt It was, he felt extreme pain on his body, like he was on a mission or some sort.
"OW!" Exclaimed Naruto In pain, "What the hell happened to me?!"
He then felt his back hurt a little, so he decided to get back down on his bed.
However.
When he got back down he herd snoozing, someone who was sleeping. Naruto looked to his left. Only to Instantly go In total shock as he seen Sakura, the girl of his dreams right next to him In his bed. He had dreams that this was happening. He decided to pinch himself and test that theory that he was asleep still.
To his amazement, It wasn't a dream. It was reality.
He touched her hear and brushed It lightly, and discovered this wasn't a GenJutsu either.
He wanted to wake her up and see If she was the real deal, but she seemed so comfortable and peaceful he decided not to. He smiled at her softly before realising her arms were wrapped around him. Naruto layed back In bed to lift her arms and wrap them around his neck, while he wrapped his around her waist. He Instantly blushed as he couldn't believe he was holding the girl he loves with all his heart.
Sakura felt some movement on her, which caused her to wake up. She opened her eyes slowly, while Naruto widened his In slight fear that she may hurt him. But Instead he saw her eyes widen In concern and sadness, as a few tears began to swell up In her jade eyes.
Without warning, Sakura shot herself at Naruto, hugging him.
"YOU'RE AWAK!" She Screamed happily, as a few of her tears fell on his bed
Naruto was beyond the word shock, as he was being hugged by Sakura. Instead of saying anything, he hugged her back, Ignoring the shock.
Sakura held Naruto as tight as possible, as his life depended on It.
"Sakura-Chan….. Wha-What happened?!" Asked a Shocked Naruto, as he and Sakura broke the hug
"Well… *Sniff*… How much do you remember… Do you remember anything?" She Asked, as she rubbed off the tears In her eyes
"All I remember Is that I was walking to where we would normally meet you know? And suddenly…. Black… I wake up and I'm In pain from something. What happened?" Naruto Asked, With a Confused look on his face
"CHAAA! YES HE DOESN'T REMEMBER! DON'T SCREW UP IDIOT! HE'S OURS AND MAKE SURE HE STAYS THAT WAY!" Cheered Inner Sakura
"Well…. You were coming to meet us. But you never came, we grew worried and tried to find you, only to find you surrounded by a mob of angry villagers beating you up….. We managed to save you and Tsunadae-Sama arrested the mob and sent them to prison for a few weeks…. When we found you we took you to the hospital for you to recover….. That's when Tsunadae-Sama told us your ummmmm…. Secret." Sakura Lied, but managed to convince Naruto
"Secret! What are you talking about?!" Naruto Lied, as he began to panic
Sakura sighed, as she knew this was goanna happen, she took Naruto's hand and gave him a warm smile.
"Don't worry Naruto-Kun….. We don't hate you, and we never will hate you… You're not the demon that took my father's life. You're a great ninja, and a caring one at that. You are the only person that acknowledged me for who I was when we were little….. Not the monster that tried to destroy this village." Her words sank Into Naruto's skull, as Naruto wasn't panicked anymore, he was smiling softly at her now
However.
He soon realised that she used the word –Kun at the end of his name and asked, "Are you really Sakura-Chan? Because If you are I need proof?" Naruto Asked
Sakura Sighed, then put her smile on softly, "Naruto-Kun, I remember when we first met… I was bullied by the girls as usual, when you came to save me… When you came you punched one of them, bit the group punched you till you were unconscious… I remember that I tried to take you to the hospital, only to be neglected by the doctors….. So I had to take you to my house so my mom could treat your Injuries….. When we treated you, I loved you, I like you, because… You motivated me Naruto-Kun." Sakura Explained, Naruto went wide eyed, "You see…. After we healed you, you said that you would become Hokage one day… I saw myself In you Naruto-Kun…. Because, people said I had a huge forehead and said I would never become a great ninja….. But your determination saved me….. I wanted to be popular, I wanted people to acknowledge me… So when I heard how popular Sasuke was In the village… I wanted him to recognize me so I would be popular aswell…. But I was going the wrong way, I threw the old self away and brought In a new one, one that forgot about her love for you and wanted someone who never will love her In." Sakura Said, Sadness In her voice, Naruto realised she didn't use the word –Kun In the end of Sasuke's Name, "I really wanted Sasuke to recognize me….. That he somehow turned Into a crush. No. An obsession… I realise now that I never loved him but you… I was mean to you, and hated you because of the villagers attitude towards you…. I didn't want that. I was selfish beyond belief and I was wrong….. Naruto-Kun….. I'm so sorry for all that I have done to you… But sorry won't change the past….. But I want to be… Your…. Girl If that's okay with you?" Sakura Asked, as a few tears started to emerge from her eyes
Naruto was wide eyed for a few seconds before gaining a soft smile and pulled Sakura Into a hug.
"Now that's….. The Sakura-Chan I remember." Naruto Said softly as he hugged Sakura tightly, she hugged him back
"The new Sakura Is dead Naruto-Kun….. I'm the old one….. The one that…. Loved you for who you are….. I promise Naruto-Kun…. I won't tease you, hurt you or humiliate you ever again. I won't Join the villagers again, no matter what, even If they come after me… That's a promise of a life time." Sakura Promised, but she was pushed back by Naruto when he looked at her face to face
"No….. It's our promise of a life time Sakura-Chan…." Naruto gave his usual smile to Sakura which she smiled back at
"Oh Naruto-Kun…." Sakura Said, as she and Naruto pushed themselves In for a kiss
What felt like seconds felt like minutes or hours to them. They never did wanted to let go of each other, they meant the world to each other, they never did wanted to leave each other's sight.
After the kiss, they pulled each other away. They looked at each other's eyes and continued gazing Into one another. They Loved each other so much.
Naruto got close to Sakura's right ear and Asked, "Does this mean that It's official?"
"Baka! It does….. We kissed didn't we? And I said that I'm your girl….. So yeah…. It makes It official." Sakura Replied, a she and Naruto moved In each other for another kiss
The two soon backed away for a bit, to look at each other's eyes again. They stared for a while before Naruto had spoken.
"Sakura-Chan….. I guess since we are boyfriend and girlfriend now. I guess we can start dating." Naruto Said, as he started to get off of the bed, only to be stopped when he felt pain at his lower left rib, "Uhhhhh!" Naruto Groaned In pain
"Naruto-Kun! Becarful! You're still hurt!" Sakura Informed as she was worried for Naruto as she helped him back on bed with a concerned face, "Give the wounds sometime to heal fully Naruto-Kun…. Until then. I'll watch over you." She Said as she comfortably laid Naruto on the bed
"What about your mom? She wants to know where you are? She may be worried sick about you?" Naruto Asked, as he was concerned for his newly named girlfriend
"I'll tell her what I've been up to. But for now I want to be with you Naruto-Kun." Sakura Said, as she covered her and Naruto with the cover and kissed each other before falling asleep
(Location: Uchiha District, Specific Location: Sasuke's Room, Mind: Sasuke)
"Where am I?! What IS this place?!" A Shocked Sasuke Asked, as he turned left and right multiple times
Sasuke was at a place which was dark, very, very dark. Nothing was there but pitch black. All he could see was Just his Pyjamas he was In. Which Consisted of him wearing a light blue T-Shirt and white Shorts, wearing no shoes at all.
"Where you are you say? Well let me explain." A voice said
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE!" Demanded Sasuke, As he was prepared to attack and activate his Sharingan eyes
Only they couldn't.
"Calm down. Calm down. You'll waste your breath. And give me a headache." The voice said again
Slowly, the voice began to emerge Into a figure about a few meters away from Sasuke. He looked like a man about 40 years of age, he had a black long cloak with two white commas at each sleeve. He had white hair and eyes, his skin was dark shadow. (Think of an alternative Zetsu) He was holding a long white staff with the Ying and Yang emblem encrusted on the top.
"Who are you and why can't I use my Sharingan?!" Sasuke Asked In a warning tone
"To answer your second question. You can't use your eyes because you are In your mind. And don't worry, even though you tried to turn them on and failed you won't have them on In the real world. Here anything that happens to you won't affect you physically In the real world." He Explained, "And to answer your first question, my name Is Yang." He Informed
"Yang? Wait! If you're supposed to be Yang then where Is Yin?" Sasuke Asked, wide eyed at the person In front of him
"You will see her In future. But now we have more Important matter to attend too." Yang Explained
"HER!" Sasuke Exclaimed, "What are you and why am I here?" Sasuke Asked, as he lowered his fighting stance to listen to what Yang has to say
"What am I? A Spirit, someone who has been passed down by many Uchiha heirs for many Generations. Like your father I was his Spirit, who guided him to every way to become the man he once Is…. Or were… Seeing how you're the Uchiha heir I believe that your the next body I'm supposed to guide. Do keep this a secret though. I'm sure not many people would believe you." Yang Explained
"Wait, I'm the second born of my mother and father…. What about Itachi?" Sasuke Asked, as he silently growled at the name of his brother
"I only passed on to those that are worthy of my guidance. Itachi Is not. I have chosen you since your worthy of my guidance." Yang Explained
"Worthy of what?" Sasuke Asked, dumbfounded
"In time Sasuke. You shall discover that reason. As did your grandfather and your father had, aswell as the other Uchihas I had guided throughout their lives. But for now I have a little chat with you." Yang Explained
"One more question. How long have you been In my mind? And why didn't you talk to me sooner?" Sasuke Asked, Amazed by Yang and wide eyed
"I was passed on to you since the day you were born. Same with the past Uchihas aswell. And I didn't contact you because my soul had to bind Into your mind, most Uchihas would usually get the chance to talk to me at a later age than you. Around fifteen or twenty to be exact. I only met you early Is because of the Kyuubi's Chakra, It accelerated my binding speed to your mind. And my origins Is a long tale, but I'll explain that later. We have something Important to take care of." Yang Explained, as he narrowed his eyes at Sasuke
"And that would be?" Sasuke Asked with a serious look on his face
"Revenge. We need to talk about It. To put It simple, give up." Yang Replied Simply
"WHAT! What do you mean give up?!" Asked an Angry Sasuke, as he did not like Yang's Reply
"Sasuke. I can tell you're mad at him because of what he had done to your clan. But you must understand that revenge Isn't the path to go. Trust me I was In many Uchihas minds, even those that tried to get revenge for their dead friends and family members. Those people are the ones that turned traitor or died trying to get revenge, making others hearts pain from their deaths. Overall Sasuke, revenge Is defiantly the wrong path to go down at. Which I why you must give It up." Yang Explained to Sasuke, but Sasuke grew mad at this and he didn't like Yang's explanation one bit
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GIVE UP! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM! I'M GOING TO GATHER ENOUGH POWER TO SALUGHTER HIM AND COLLECT HIS HEAD FOR THE CLAN!" Sasuke Shouted back In Rage
"And where would you get this power from Sasuke? Orochimaru. Sasuke he lost the ability to use NinJutsu by the Third's hands before he died. If you agree to that you'll end up by his hands when he takes your body. Many people can see It Sasuke even you can, Orochimaru Is out there somewhere and he's planning to take your body because of your Sharingan. Which Is why you must give up revenge." Yang Explained to Sasuke again, but It didn't have any effect on him
"Then I'll kill Orochimaru when he tries to take my body. I'll make sure of that!" Sasuke Growled back
"Even so. You still have no Idea of the dangers outside of the village. What If you die? Revenge Isn't the only goal you wish to see as reality Sasuke. What about rebuilding the Uchiha Clan? If you die then Itachi will be the one who revives the Clan. Not you." Yang Added
"…" Sasuke didn't say a thing, all he Just did was hang his head down, as Yang's words started to take affect on him
It was true, If Sasuke died Itachi would've been the one to rebuild the Uchiha Clan, something Sasuke couldn't afford to do.
"Overall Sasuke. There are people here who respect you like you, and somebody who loved you but doesn't realise It yet. How do you think they'll react If you left. Your friends will be devastated, Naruto would be broken and Hinata would be heartbroken." Yang Informed, as Sasuke went confused when he mentioned Hinata's name
"Hinata! What does she have to do with any of that?!" Asked a Shocked Sasuke
Yang Just sighed before replying, "So you really don't remember do you? I guess I'll have to show you. The day you had a crush on Hinata."
Sasuke when wide eyes Instantly as Yang had tapped his staff onto the ground to have a huge flash of bright light all around them. Sasuke shielded his eyes while Yang didn't, Instead he Just waited till something came up.
Soon the flash was gone, Sasuke slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He saw that he was In the ninja academy, the place where he learned what he knows today. The place that taught him right. The place that was his school.
"The-The ninja academy?" A Confused Sasuke Asked
"Not really…. More of a memory of the ninja academy. What you see here Sasuke, Is Just an Illusion, Just the memory you have of this place. And this dates back a few years ago when you were eight years old. I'm pretty sure you remember this day." Yang Replied
"No…. You don't mean….. The Uchiha Massacre!" Exclaimed Sasuke, as he was horrified he was on the same day his clan had died
Yang Just simply nodded, as Sasuke began to shiver In fear of him seeing all the members of his clan die right affront of him again.
"WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE?!" Demanded Sasuke, As his voice was mixed with Sadness, Rage and Fear
"Because this was the day you met Hinata. The day you finally discovered love. And the day you lost It to your vengeance." Yang Answered as he tapped his staff on the ground again, sending them at the playground of the academy
There Sasuke could see kids playing around and having fun. School was over and kids were laughing and enjoying themselves.
Sasuke looked around and saw his eight year old self.
He was smiling, his young self was smiling and laughing like the other kids were. Running around the playground Joyfully.
He noticed that his younger self was wearing his usual high colour shirt, and white shorts. But mostly his face features remained the same.
"Is that…. Me?" Sasuke Asked, as he was shocked to see his younger self
"Yes It Is. You see Sasuke, before the massacre, you were like the other kids. Smiling, happy and always laughing. What you're about to see, Is something you have forgotten because of your vengeance against Itachi." With that Said Yang had sent himself and Sasuke a little further more In time to see Sasuke In the forest beating up a bunch of boys
"What the…..?!" Sasuke Exclaimed, as the Image began to be more clear
In the scene, Sasuke had beaten up a bunch of boys who were picking on a Innocent little girl with dark blue hair who was curled up In a ball behind Sasuke crying.
"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA MAN!" One of the boys shouted
The young Sasuke was holding a stick, a stick which was used by the boys to torment the little girl and trying to give her pupils In her eyes.
As soon as the young Sasuke heard the boy shout he snapped the stick In half, causing the boy and his friends to gasp In fear and sweat drop.
"If you ever mess with her again…. I'll kill you!" The young Sasuke threatened, as the boys started to scream and run away
"SORRY WE'LL NEVER TRY AND GIVE HER PUPILS AGAIN!" One of the boys shouted, as he started crying and running away
Sasuke Just dropped the stick and turned back to the little girl who was still crying, he walked towards her and lifter her chin up to get a look on her face.
To be honest Young Sasuke Kinda blushed lightly at the beautiful face of the young girl. She had pale pupiless eyes, and fair skin, her hair was long on the sides but the back of her hair was cut short.
"Hey… Are you okay." Young Sasuke Asked In Concern
"Y-Yeah….. *Sob**Sniff*…. They wanted to poke my eyes….. To g-Give them pupils…. Th-Thank you for saving me." The little girl who looked a year younger than the young Sasuke Thanked
"No problem. What's your name anyway?" Young Sasuke Asked, as he had a soft smile on his face
"My-My name?" The Girl Asked, Sasuke nodded In reply, "Well…. My name Is Hinata Hyuga." The Girl now Identified as Hinata Replied
(Location: Hyuga Compound, Specific Location: Hinata's Bedroom, Hinata's Mind)
"Where-Where am I?" Asked an Afraid Hinata, as she looked around left and right multiple times like crazy
She was In somewhere Similar to where Sasuke was, but the entire area was white Instead of black.
Hinata was wearing her usual pyjama, which consisted of wearing a white shirt with no bra and black under wear. If a man was anywhere near Hinata they would have a blush and nosebleed Instantly.
"Do not be afraid Hinata. This place Is Just your mind. You are here so I can speak with you." Informed a female voice
Hinata looked around everywhere, only to find behind her a girl dressed In white robes about 30 years In age, holding a white staff with a black comma on the crest and her sleeves with two black commas, her eyes were black while her skin was flash white.
"Who-Who are you?" Hinata Asked, as she blushed while pulling her shirt down to cover up her underwear
"My name Hinata. Is Ying. And I'm here to guide you." The woman now Identified as Ying Replied
"Ying-Ying-San? Where-Where am I-I?" Asked a Nervous Hinata
"As I explained myself before Hinata. This Is your mind and I am here to speak to you. Secondly If you're thinking why am I here, I'm here to guide you Just like the other Hyuga heirs to the Hyuga Clan Hinata." Ying Explained
"But-But father… doesn't want me to be the heir….. He-He say I'm weak, pathetic…. And-And….. Soft." Hinata Informed as a few tears started to form In her eyes, while hanging her head down In shame
Ying walked towards Hinata and rubbed the tears off of her eyes and lifted her chin up, saying, "Do not upset yourself Hinata. Sometimes In life we cannot be what people expect us to be, sometimes we have to accept It, or we'll never get on with our live. Even though your not the heir to the Clan, I still see a great ninja Inside you. You're worthy of my guidance, either your Clan heir or not. Usually I guide the heirs but In this case Hinata, Your special." She gave Hinata a Soft smile
"I'm-I'm Spec-Special Ying-Ying-San?" Asked a Shocked Hinata, she's never been special before, with the expectance of her status as an Hyuga Clan member
Ying Just simply nodded before Replying, "Indeed Hinata, Indeed. I've heard you had few troubling feelings with the Last Uchiha, may I ask what has been bothering you?" Ying Asked
"Well-Well, ever since we got Naruto-Kun back from trying to leave. I've Had-Had a bit of strange Fee-Feelings for Sasuke-Kun. I-I don't Know-Know why but… I think I love him?" Hinata Explained, "But… I love Naruto-Kun." Hinata Objected, but Ying could sense that Hinata was In denial
"Then why do you care a lot of this Sasuke Hinata? You've been having some strange feelings for him ever since he gave you that hug and chat when you were at the lake looking for Naruto. If you want answer I can show them to you." With that Said Ying tapped her staff on to the ground and suddenly the entire area was glowing white, Hinata shielded her eyes from the light, once she opened them and released her arms from her sight she was at the grounds of the academy
"EEEEPPPPP!" Hinata Shouted, as she Instantly curled herself In a ball to hide her lower body
Ying chuckled for a bit before saying, "Not to worry Hinata. This Is Just your memory, not reality. If people see you they won't know that you're here. All of this has already happened Hinata, and this Is the Academy four years ago."
"Four-Four years ago? Why?" Hinata Asked as she stood up from the ground
"Because Hinata. This Is the time, that you actually had a crush on Sasuke." Ying Replied
"But-But I've never had a crush on Sasuke-Kun. Really." Hinata Objected
"Trust me Hinata. This Is the day, you've Just forgotten about It." Ying Said, as they suddenly moved from the entrance of the Academy to the forest near the academy playground
There Hinata could see her young self, about seven years old, curled up In a ball crying while three boys were laughing at her, saying they want to give her pupils with a stick they're carrying. Her young self was smaller than she was, she worn a purple bright Kimono that went all the way down to the ground, and wrapped around her stomach was a blue dark band that keeps the Kimono In place. Her Kimono was all wet and salty because of the tears she poured from her eyes by the bullies.
"Pl-Please *Sob**Sniff* I'm-I'm sorry." The Young Hinata Apologised, while crying In her dress
"HAHAHAHA! Sorry for what! This girl Is funny, she Just says sorry all the time for no reason what's so ever!" One of the boys laughed
"I know. You Hyugas think you so special because of your DouJutsu you have. My father came back home one day and said he had a bad day with your father bossing him around like he's Hokage." One of them added
"Yeah and I heard you all think that we're some kind of second class citizens and your first because of your heritage." The other Added
"Pl-Please leave me alone." The Young Hinata begged
"HA! Like we will! We're Just helping you that's all, we're Just going to give you Hyugas some pupils! I've always wondered what they would look like with those big eyes." One of the boys said who was holding a stick started to walk up and pulled his hand out to grab Hinata with
Hinata closed her eyes and prepared for the worse to come.
Only It didn't.
All the young Hinata heard was someone grabbing the kids hand she believed.
"HEY! WHA-WHAT ARE YOU-." He couldn't finish that sentence as he was punched In the face
PUNCH!
The boy was sent to the other boys who caught him but fell to their butts.
The Young Hinata looked up and saw a boy with black duck ass hair, wearing a high collared dark blue shirt and white shorts, on the back of his shirt she could see that there was the Uchiha crest Imprinted on his shirt.
She looked down on his hand to see he was holding the stick one of the boys was holding, she couldn't tell his facial features since he had his back turned towards her.
"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA MAN!" One of the boys shouted
As soon as Hinata's saviour heard the boy shout he snapped the stick In half, causing the boy and his friends to gasp In fear and sweat drop.
"If you ever mess with her again…. I'll kill you!" The Young Hinata's Saviour threatened, as the boys started to scream and run away
"SORRY WE'LL NEVER TRY AND GIVE HER PUPILS AGAIN!" One of the boys shouted, as he started crying and running away
The Young Hinata saw that the other two boys followed him crying for their parents, The Young Hinata then put her head on her knees and started to sob again, she was ashamed that she was weak and had to let someone save her who was nearly her age.
"I-I remember this Ying-San. I-I Re-Remember what happened this day." Hinata Informed, as she went wide eyed and started to remember what had happened on this day
"If so Hinata who do you think saved you?" Ying Asked, as she smiled at Hinata, happy that she's remembering
"I-I…. I don't know really…. That's-That's the one thing I can't remember Ying-San." Hinata Replied, her voice was filled with sadness that she couldn't reply
"That's okay Hinata. You'll see soon." Ying Informed as she patted Hinata on the shoulder, which made her calm down for a bit, Hinata then turned her attention back to the scene, when she saw the boy walking towards her younger self
"Hey… Are you okay." The Saviour Asked In Concern
"Y-Yeah….. *Sob**Sniff*…. They wanted to poke my eyes….. To g-Give them pupils…. Th-Thank you for saving me." The Young Hinata Replied, thanking her Saviour
"No problem. What's your name anyway?" The Saviour Asked, as he had a soft smile on his face
"My-My name?" The Young Hinata Asked, Sasuke nodded In reply, "Well…. My name Is Hinata Hyuga." The Young Hinata Replied
"That's a beautiful name. My name Is Sasuke Uchiha." The Saviour now Identified as Sasuke Informed
"SASUKE-KUN!" Hinata Screamed In Surprise
(With Sasuke)
"HINATA!" A Shocked Sasuke Screamed, "WAIT I DON'T UNDERSTAND!… I hardly remember this up until now. I remember I saved her from those fools.….. How-How did I forget about this time?" A Disbelieved Sasuke Asked
"Because Sasuke. As I said before this Is the day that the Uchiha massacre happened. When you saw your Clan die all this was forgotten and you mainly focused on revenge. Pushing everything to the side-lines." Yang Replied
"Thank-Thank you for saving me uhmmmm….. Sasuke-Kun." The Young Hinata thanked again
"No problem uhmm….. Hinata-Chan. You know you're really cute you know that." The Young Sasuke Complemented, as he and The Young Hinata Blushed lightly, "Let me help you up." The Young Sasuke Said as he given a hand to The Young Hinata and pulled her up
"Tha-Thank you." The Young Hinata Thanked, as she was pulled up by The Young Sasuke
"So what happened anyways, why did those bakas try and hurt you?" The Young Sasuke Asked, In Concern for The Young Hinata
The Young Hinata looked down with sad eyes before Replying, "It's Because-Because I'm…. A-A Hyuga….. The other Kids are Jea-Jealous of me because I-I live In the main Household of The-The Clan…. They see me as someone Impor-Important to the village, they pick on me because they're Jealous that they're not more Important than me." The Young Hinata Explained, "They also pick on me because of my father…. My father, He-He's one of the Councilmen on the Shin-Shinobi Council, he finds out Clan greater than any other In Konoha…. That's why they pick on me, because my father doesn't see their parents any Importance to him." The Young Hinata Explained Again, "They said that my father never cares for any of them. Because they're not Important to us, they're Just-Just people with no Importance to us at all." The Young Hinata Finished
"Is that why they hate you?" The Young Sasuke Asked
Hinata Just simply nodded.
"What about your father, surely he can help you to deal with them and stop It?" The Young Sasuke Asked
"My-My father doesn't help me with this… He-He says I Have-Have- to deal with all of this on my own… If I don't then I'm…. weak." The Young Hinata Replied, as she hung her head down In shame
"Weak? But you're can't be weak? I heard from my brother Itachi-nee-san that Hyugas are strong as us Uchihas. So I think your father Is Just underestimating you?" The Young Sasuke Guessed, The Young Sasuke looked at The Young Hinata for a while, before The Young Hinata broke the silence
"Uhmmm….. What are you Loo-Looking at?" She Asked while blushing
"Nothing Important, Just a beautiful girl that's all." He Smirked, causing The Young Hinata to blush
"Beau-Beautiful….." Hinata had never been called that before hand, she'd been called a disgrace or pupiless, but never beautiful, even If she asked the branch clan members, they found It as an order to call her beautiful, without giving their personal opinion about her, "Do…. Do you really think I'm beautiful?" The Young Hinata Asked Shyly
The Young Sasuke Just simply nodded In response.
"Th… Thank you…. Sas-Sasuke-Kun." The Young Hinata Thanked
"Your welcome. Hey Hinata-Chan. Do you, wanna play with me tomorrow?" The Young Sasuke Asked Shyly
The Young Hinata was shocked, but then she replied Shyly "Sure-Sure Sasuke-Kun."
"Good. See you tomorrow then." The Young Sasuke started to walk away, before The Young Hinata decided to give The Young Sasuke a kiss on the cheeks, which made both him and The Young Hinata blush
"Bye-Bye Sasuke-Kun." Hinata waved, by the time The Young Sasuke left, The Young Hinata fainted, with her whole head burning red
Soon, the entire area had been turned back to nothing but a black pitch.
"So you see Sasuke. This was the day you had a crush on the Hyuga girl. However, you forgot about this when-." Yang was cut off by Sasuke
"Because of Itachi. My vengeance against my brother had drove It away." Sasuke Confessed, as he had finally remembered while hanging his head In shame
"Exactly. May I ask one more thing? What were Itachi's purpose for killing off the Clan, surely there must've been a purpose? I would wait and see for myself for a little bit later till I would get the chance to talk to him." Yang Explained
"Hinata-Chan….. Why did I push you away? What have I done?" Sasuke Asked, In a Sad tone
(With Hinata)
"I-I can't…. H-How did I forget?" Hinata Asked herself, while hanging her head In shame that she had forgotten about this day
"Do not blame yourself Hinata. It was your father's doing, he heard about this affair with the Uchiha and Immediately forced you never to speak to him again. Every time you get near Sasuke, Naruto Is also close, so you must've gotten the two mixed." Ying Explained, as she tried to calm Hinata down
"Why?…. Why did father do this to me?…. Is the Clan's rules really Im-Important that he would erase his daughters crush away? Why?" Hinata Asked herself, as she tried to hold back the tears that were coming out of her eyes
(With Sasuke)
"Why?... Why?... I guess Itachi was always getting the better of me…. I should've never had focused on him more than anything else. I'm pretty sure Hinata-Chan won't remember either." Sauske Guessed, as he realised he put the "-Chan" at the end of Hinata's name, but didn't care
"I wouldn't be sure of that Sasuke." Yang Said with a Smirk on his face, Sasuke looked at Yang In Awe of what he meant, "If you sure of what you said, why did you hug her, and why didn't she stopped It? The answer Sasuke, will come to you eventually." Yang Advised
"I guess….. I can let go of vengeance Just for a little while…." Sasuke Guessed
"Good Sasuke, I have to go now, your time Is now up. I have fulfilled my duties at the moment." Yang Said, as he turned away from Sasuke and started to walk Into the darkness, before Sasuke grabbed his arm
"Will we meet again?" Sasuke Asked
"In time when you need me Sasuke. In time when you need me." With that said Yang walked Into the darkness disappearing until the next time the two meet
(Location: Uchiha Compound, Specific Location: Sasuke's room)
"Huuuu!" Sasuke woke up, and looked around his room to see he was back from his mindscape, he checked the time to see It was 03:00 AM In the morning, "Maybe tomorrow. I can try and go out with Hinata-Chan. If she's willing to go." Sasuke then went back to bed to sleep, however found It difficult to sleep when his thoughts were filled with Hinata
(With Hinata)
The entire area had turned back to the way It was after the memory, back to a white blank area without anyone or anything besides from Hinata and Ying.
"Still… I don't think Sasuke-Kun would want to be with me now since I had to forget about our talk." Hinata Said In a sad tone
"I'm not so sure Hinata. If he didn't why did he hug you, why did he want to help you to stop crying?" Ying Asked, which put Hinata In realisation when she remembered what happened with her and Sasuke two weeks ago, "I think I made my point." Ying Smirked In achievement, but dropped It when she turned her back,"I'm sorry Hinata. But I must go now." Ying Informed
"Will I see you again?" Hinata Asked, as she was drying off the tears she cried
"In time Hinata. In time when you need me." With that said Ying disappeared Into the whiteness of the area
(Location: Hyuga Compound, Specific Location: Hinata's Room)
"Huuuuh!" Gasped a woken Hinata, as she looked around her room to see she had woken up from her mindscape, She looked down and was In deep thought, as she was thinking should she ask Sasuke out, "Sho-Should I go ask Sasuke-Kun tomorrow to Go-Go out?" She Asked herself, and Immediately agreed and would ask Sasuke out, before she went back to bed with Sasuke In her head
(Location: Hokage's Tower, Specific Loacation: Tsunadae's Office)
Tsunadae was working extra hard tonight because of all the requests that were still being sent to her for Naruto to marry one of the Council's daughters, even though she had rejected so many so far. And that wasn't the worst case. Due to the younger population distrusting the older population, the younger population decided to move away from their parents who told them that Naruto was a demon.
She Sighed In frustration.
Next to her was Shizune, who watched by her master's side Incase If she needed help, or Sake.
"Damn Council Just won't take no for an answer!" Tsunadae Growled
"Tsunadae-Sama, may I ask something?" Shizune Asked politely
"Go ahead." Replied Tsunadae
"Yesterday with the doctor, he said something about Sakura's father being the one known as "Salamander"? Who Is he?" Shizune Asked In Curiosity
"Ahhhhhhh Salamander. I remember him, he was always the hot headed ones. "Salamander" Shizune Is what they call him, his real name Is Kaen Haruno (Note: Kaen Is Flame In Japanese Term), or was." Tsunadae Explained, "He was one of the strongest Shinobi that ever lived, he was In pair with Minato back when they were alive. Usually people with Chakra Elements are born with two, when others are born with three, but those are the rare types but not the only ones, there are even people with one Chakra Element." Tsunadae Added
"One! But that's Impossible, Isn't It?!" Shizune Exclaimed
"No It's not, people can have one Chakra Element, but they're so rare no one hardly believes any of them has one." Tsunadae Explained
"What was his Chakra Element?" Shizune Asked In Curiosity
"His Chakra Element was fire. He was mostly good with It. In fact he was the one that had a huge affect on "The Will Of Fire", his fighting techniques and battle skills had proven everyone that "The Will Of Fire" was strong In Shinobi. Even his hair would be on fire like his whole body would, that was the most famous techniques anyone had seen, he called It "Fire Body"." Tsunadae Explained
"And what happened to him?" Shizune Asked
"Well….. The day after the Kyuubi attacked he was found dead lying one his stomach on the ground In the forest outside of the village. No one knows exactly what had happened but medics had saw that he was scratched on his back, they were deep and thee wasn't Just one but a lot. Their best guess was that the Kyuubi killed him. And of course It made most Shinobi hate Naruto because he contains the killer of Sakura's father." Tsunadae Finished
"So that's why he tried to kill him, that's why the doctor stopped himself from killing Sakura for a while, she's the daughter of a great Shinobi." Shizune Summarised In a Quiet voice, loud enough for Tsunadae to hear
Tsunadae simply nodded before Ordering "Yeah, that's how It happened. Now….. Shizune bring me some Sake."
DONE!
Author's Note: So yeah It took a while, but that's because I'm working on some other stories. Plus I had a few assignments to complete because, you know, the Christmas holidays.
Ying and Yang are goanna be In this story a lot, and they're advisors for Sasuke and Hinata for future cases.
