10. The Monthly Barbeque is worse than poker nights, and Hinata wishes she knew why people keep losing their clothes at these events. – Shlee
Hinata wonders if maybe she should have skipped on this but there was the chance to see Naruto and maybe get up the courage to actually talk to him this time. That is, if he's not busy fighting with her partner. And there is a big con there. Sasuke hates her. She's pretty sure he'll shoot her himself if she makes a mistake on the field so she's very careful not to. He may think very little of her but Hinata knows how to work hard.
So, she goes to the monthly Konoha PD barbeque once she's finished choosing an outfit that best shows off "hardworking but feminine" and it doesn't include a skirt because she's pretty sure Sasuke would take it as another reason to hate her if she dared be less than fully prepared to defend herself and the village from an invasion of every country on the planet. Her pants are sturdy and she has way too many knives hidden in inside pockets. Her shirt isn't anything like the showy things she sees other women wearing and the light jacket she has over it hides her back holster perfectly. Her shoes are comfortable, well broken in, and good for the long haul.
She couldn't resist leaving her hair loose or the pretty little pearl barrettes in it. Maybe Naruto will notice…
When Hinata makes her way through Chief Minato's house to the back lawn, she stops dead in the doorway and just kind of stares. Maybe she should have expected that the barbeque be worse than the poker nights and she wishes she knew why people keep losing their clothes at these events.
Kushina and Sakura are screaming at the tops of their lungs and clutching their arms around their bared breasts and Jiraiya from archives has their bikini tops and is waving them around while Naruto offers to show himself to make Sakura feel better and Sasuke snarls out something about ripping it off if he has to see it and-
Hinata swoons. Thankfully, that nice detective Kakashi catches her and lowers her down to the porch with one arm. She happens to look across to what he's holding in the other and the sight of cartoon breasts with something thrusting in them is what turns her swoon into an outright faint.
She wakes up later on Chief Minato's couch and Sakura is checking her vitals, thankfully with her bikini top back on. Hinata thanks her profusely for fussing over her and Sakura waves it off. Her cheeks are still red from anger and outside, Hinata can hear Naruto fighting with Sasuke, as usual.
Hinata stays long enough to prudently taste the steaks Kiba somehow managed to save from the huge brawl, but then she slinks away and swears up and down never to come to one of these again.
…Unless maybe Naruto asks her to.
