Disclaimer: Eh again just a formality, I don't own them.

VFSNAKE, I know you made a guess that Sasuke and Sakura would be after revenge, but sadly I cant kill them off (YET), Unfortunately I need them for the sequel to this story. There will be blood shed of a different kind.

Chapter

9

Blood Drenched Snow

Naruto woke up, and searched his room, his puppy still laying in its bed, the chakra beast laying beside his bed, he looked at the clock on the wall, and noticed the time.

"No, I am late." He jumped from his bed and rushed to get changed, he picked up his black uniform that Owari had given him. He pulled it on, and ran for the door. Naruto ran through the village, passing the people like a blur, he decided to get out of the street and jumped to the roof tops, snow covering the ground and roofs making it slippery. Naruto landed on an ice patch slipping off the snow covered roof and right in front of Hinata. Hinata giggled at the snow covered Naruto.

"You made it." She said, looking down at him she smiled and helped him up.

"Are you ready?"
"Yes." She laced her fingers with his, her other hand held onto his arm as they began to walk. The village had settled but still looked at him in disgust, no one had forgotten the incident months prior. Some had forgiven him, thanking god that they had not been killed.

"Where are we going?" Hinata asked, she had been delighted when he had asked her to go out with him, but had no idea where they would go. Naruto simply smiled as the snow continued to pour down on the village.

"We are going to a spot where I like to go to think." He said, then pointed to the top of the cliff where the Hokage faces were carved. There in the distance was a plat form, they continued the lengthy walk, the village still looked at Naruto with cold eyes, even as time passed since, Husbands and children lost at his hand. Hinata leaned her head against Naruto's shoulder as they walked through the village, snow covering every inch of the ground. Hinata watched the children playing, with a smile, thinking of one day when she would have her own. Naruto kept his eyes ahead of him, watching the people pass by, when in the corner of his eye he caught the sight of Sasuke and Sakura. He was just going to pass by and not say anything when Sasuke's arm jutted out and grasped Naruto's shoulder.

"Naruto?"

"What do you want?" Naruto stared at him with cold eyes when he spotted a smile on Sasuke's face.

"Last we fought you were right in saying we had our reasons wrong, but let no mistake I will beat you." Naruto smiled and said.

"I look forward to it." Naruto shook his hand and continued his walk with Hinata, when they reached the top there was a spot cleared of snow, Hinata looked up at Naruto in wonder. Naruto smiled and sat down, holding Hinata close to keep her warm.

"Hinata?" Naruto said, his voice trailing off.

"Yes, Naruto-kun?" She looked up at him, Naruto looked troubled he wanted to tell her what Neji had told him those many months ago. He decided to ask something different.

"What are you doing for Christmas?" Hinata smiled up at him as the snow started to fall again.

"I spend Christmas with my family," Naruto looked away for a minute, as he realized he had never had a proper Christmas. "How about you come spend Christmas with me?" Naruto looked at her, but quickly answered.
"Your family hates me, and I don't think I'd even get through the front door." His face went cold for a minute, and then he said. "I will drop your present off then I will go back to my home." Hinata wanted to argue but was sure she would lose. The day passed as they watched over the village, by sun set they were on the road back to their respected homes, Naruto heard twigs breaking from behind him, Naruto turned his head slightly to see who was following and there stood Hinata's father.

"Hinata go home." She looked up at her father and frowned taking off down the path.

"I assume Neji has told you what is to come."
"You assumed right." Naruto took a defensive stance.
"Relax I did not come to fight." Hiashi's whit eyes pierced deep within Naruto, they were not filled with hatred towards him at all, but his eyes were filled with a dangerous idea.

"Why, why does she have to bear such a burden?" Naruto asked half yelling it.

"To atone for her dishonor she will bring the new age to our clan, we will finally have a fighter worth calling Hyuuga." Naruto looked away. "Boy, come to our home Christmas day, don't tell Hinata that you are coming." Hiashi disappeared, leaving Naruto shocked and in the middle of a snow storm.
