Chapter 9: A Day That Was Good

Naruto walked through the park with Hinata at his side, he was still shocked at how Hinata defended Naruto and threatened the man who degraded Naruto's feelings "Hinata ... I really must thank you for defending me, normally I would have ignored it or responded but ... well you know ..." Hinata stopped Naruto and shifted him towards her "Naruto ... I never thanked you" Naruto looked puzzled "For what ?" Hinata blushed "a long time ago I was being bullied for being Noble and rich, you stepped in and defended me from the boys who tried to hurt me, you were unconscious when my Bodyguard Ko came. He didnt help you, he only told me to come away ... ill never forget what you did for me Naruto ..." She hugged him close

"Am I interrupting hahaha" They turned only to find a wide grinned Tenten. "Oh hey Tenten" Naruto Blushed and stepped back. Hinata smiled "So whats up TenTen ?" Tenten pulled out a scroll and activated it, 100 pounds of Metal weaponry landed right at her feet "oooooh you know ... just shopping for girl things, could I speak to you for a minute Hinata ?" Naruto looked surprised "What about, why cant I know" Tenten glared "unless you want to join our conversation about Soaps, stuffed animals and hot boys" Naruto pretended to vomit "Forget i asked" he walked off and sat down at a bench.


"so now that he is away lets talk about what I really wanted to talk about" Tenten grinned "Tenten, that was crafty" She grinned "So ... how is he ?" Hinata nodded "I figured you would ask, he's fine. I think he is doing quite well actually" Tenten pointed over to him, Naruto was admiring a blue Butterfly with a faint smile "You sure have changed him Hinata" She looked over her shoulder to make sure Naruto was not looking , "he's changed you as well" Hinata blinked hard "What do you mean ?" Tenten giggled "Well look at you, you are so confident and a bit feisty too. i love the anger" Hinata gasped "you saw what i did ?" Tenten laughed out loud "Saw it ? I recorded it and saved it deep in my mind, you rock !"

Tenten began walked off home, "Naruto lets head back to your place, its getting cold" Naruto smiled and took off his jacket and gently placed it over Hinata's "Naruto, no you will get cold " He only shrugged it off "Its fine im used to being cold" Naruto thought to himself 'Im cold in the heart and in the body'. He felt one of his hairs being plucked out "AAH Baka" he turned around and no one was there but the snow. "Something Wrong Naruto ?" He shook his head "No .. must have been in my head"

Ino placed his hair in a zip-lock bag and proceeded back to Tsunade's office


"Tsunade-Sama i have his hair!" Ino called as she ran into Tsunade's office "Good bring it here, you have no idea how hard it was to find DNA of the Fourth Hokage" she slipped the two samples into the Machine and applied her chakra into the two Hand slots in the side of the Machine "What is Tsunade-Sama ?" Tsunade bared her teeth in effort "Its an experimental machine we took from the Hidden Rain, it matches DNA and tries to find relevant strands and Chakra, this will tell us if Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage" A large beep sounded and Tsunade smiled "Now we wait 3 days for the DNA to match"

Sakura entered the office and smiled "Tsunade-Sama I had a good ide..." Tsunade slammed her fist down "for the last time, only Mentors and Officials call me with the Sama title at the end, just call me Tsunade, dammit" Sakura laughed "Tsunade i had a idea ... we throw a dinner party here for Naruto's friends ETC" Tsunade looked puzzled "Tsunade ... Naruto needs company now and maybe his friends will further cheer him up. what do you think ?" Tsunade nodded and sighed "I'll go get my Hokage discount card ..."


Naruto opened the door to his apartment and collapsed on the Sofa and let out a long breath "I have not walked so long in my life ... but it was great, thanks Hinata" She nodded and went to the kitchen "What do you want for dinner ?" Naruto smiled "I think I know, Hinata put on your coat, im taking you to Ichiraku for dinner, my treat" Hinata blushed deeply 'Naruto is inviting me to dinner, this is a dream no doubt'. They both put on their coats and head out to Ichiraku "Hinata ... today was a good day ... thank you so much for being her" She smiled "of course Naruto im glad you are happy" little did they know, they would both wish they never left the apartment.
