Naruto awoke the next morning with mixed feelings. He was happy that he could train with his friends but sad that he would have to leave his girlfriend. He stopped by Hinatas bedroom as he was leaving; he couldn't see her and assumed she was at breakfast. He continued walking to the gate and figured out why Hinata was not in her room. She rushed toward him with her arms open and started hugging him when she reached him. He swept her up and carried her to the very edge of the gates. As he sat down he hugged her close. They sat there for a moment and before long Hinata was asleep using Narutos chest for a pillow. Naruto was asleep within moments using the top of Hinatas head as a pillow.
"Wake up baka." Naruto heard while waking up. As if to help him wake up he felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked up to see Sauske looking smug and Kiba laughing. He suddenly looked down and saw Akamaru biting into his side. Hinata stood up to let him hurl Akamaru off of him. Kiba went running off after Akamaru.
"You know something Naruto you really should stop falling asleep so close to Hinata people are going to assume the wrong thing." Sasuke said as he looked down at his best friend. He cracked a grin as Naruto blushed worse than Hinata did before she told him.
"Well this isn't the first time something like this has happened. So it's not a big deal." Hinata said this turning fire engine red.
"Yeah I know that the first time was waiting for Sakura and I at the gate a few days ago right." Sauske said this like he knew everything.
"No it was at your apartment when it rained so hard right Naruto?" Hinata said as Naruto blushed but nodded all the same. They looked at Sauske who was shocked and looked like you could knock him over with a feather. Kiba came back running with Akamaru and looked at Sasuke.
Jiraya came walking up the road and saw his students and one other. He walked up and saw Hinata beside Naruto. He started to talk to his students and telling them how long they would be gone. They got ready to leave and they walked out of the village. They had to stop for a few minutes as Hinata ran up and kissed Naruto really very deeply.
"Ok bye Naruto I'll miss you." Hinata said breathlessly as she let go of Naruto.
"Now if that didn't give you a big hint on how she feels for you you're stupider than you look." Jiraya said to Naruto.
"What do you mean she already told me? Why do you think she kissed me?" Naruto asked.
"Ok well then okay. Young love is the greatest." Jiraya said this with an almost wistful look on his face. They went off and started training. They then trained and set up camp.
