Hey guys sorry for the long hiatus. I've been trying to figure out where to go next in the story, and to be honest the more I thought of this concept. The more I couldn't wait to put it in so I hope you all enjoy these next few chapters and tell me what you think.
So without further a dew I bring you the next installment of Redepmtion.
Chapter Ten: The Way We Came to Be Prt.1
Days after they had completed the first test of the Chunin Exams. We find Naruto and Hinata engaging in a sparing session in preparations for the second exam.
"You're gonna have to do better then that!" Naruto said as he caught Hinata's fist and threw her into the air.
The young Kunochi performed a series of somersaults after she was flung into the air. Once Hinata had landed on the ground, she quickly ricocheted toward Naruto while extending her right knee.
Naruto quickly saw this and blocked Hinata's attack with his knee, the force of the impact created by the two ninjas briefly shook the training field.
Hinata quickly lowered her body and spun her body counter clock wise while extending her left leg, causing Naruto to trip.
"8 Tri Grams: Air Palm!" Hinata shouted as she gathered some of her Chakra into the palms of her hands while driving them into Naruto's abdomen, sending the young Shinobi flying through the training field.
But as Naruto crashed into a nearby tree, Hinata was shocked to see Naruto vanish a cloud of smoke.
"Shadow Clone!" Hinata said to herself as she notice three shadowy figures rapidly approaching her from above.
The young Kunochi only had a split second to escape the three way kick Naruto and his clones had prepared as they came crashing to the ground.
The impact of Naruto and his clone's attack shook the ground and engulfed them in a massive cloud of dust, while Hinata slid on the ground.
Suddenly from the cloud of dust, Naruto and his clones were seen charging straight towards the young Kunochi, armed with Kunai Knives in their hands.
Hinata quickly pulled out two Kunai from her weapon pouch on her right thigh and ran towards Naruto and his clones.
The first clone lunged his fist towards Hinata, while she countered by colliding her Kunai against his.
The second clone saw how she had prepared herself by already aiming her other Kunai at him. The clone then raised his Knife and countered Hinata's attack.
The young Kunochi then spun herself in mid air counter clockwise and drove her right leg straight into the last Naruto and drove him down straight to the ground.
Suddenly the other two Naruto's had vanished in a cloud of smoke leaving the real Naruto.
"Better?" Hinata asked as she turned Naruto's unconscious body on his back.
The young Kunochi was shocked when Naruto suddenly rolled her onto the ground until he was on top her. She winched as Naruto was about to throw his fist at her, but was shocked when instead of Naruto's fist. She felt Naruto's lips gently pressing against her cheek.
"Better." Naruto said with a big grin.
Both Shinobi laughed as they laid weary and exhausted underneath the shade of a nearby tree.
"I'm really exhausted Naruto-kun." Hinata said while trying to catch her breath.
"I am too." Naruto said with a weary smile while holding onto Hinata's hands.
"That's the funny thing about Senjutsu. One second you feel invincible, but once it's depleted you feel completely exhausted."
"Would you like to continue sparing Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
Just before he could answer, Naruto's stomach suddenly growled as though it were a wild boar.
"Uh...I guess I worked up an appetite." Naruto said with a blush.
"Actually I'm kind of hungry too." Hinata said with a giggle.
Naruto slowly picked himself off the ground, then politely pulled Hinata off the training grounds.
"Alright, but how about we go and grab some lunch before we continue out training?" Naruto asked.
"Sounds good." Hinata replied as she and Naruto slowly walked away from the training field.
Moments later as the young couple were about to enter the famed Ramen shop. Two female voices could be heard calling out to them.
"HEY NARUTO, HINATA!"
Both Shinobi turned their attention towards the feminine voice. To their surprise it was none other than Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno, a former member of Naruto's old team.
"Sakura, Ino hey!: Naruto shouted as he waved to the two Kunochi.
"Good afternoon Ino and Sakura." Hinata said as she bowed in respect to the two.
Sakura had long pink hair that she proudly let loose, while wearing a sleevless red jacked, a pair of black gloves, and a pair of black shorts.
Ino had long light blonde hair that she kept in a pony tail while her bangs covered her right eye, She wore a purple blouse that reveled her bare stomach, long purple sleeves that came up to her elbows, an apron skirt, and red scarf.
Sakura quickly noticed how Naruto was holding onto Hinata's hand and was shocked at this sudden revelation.
"Are...ARE YOU TWO GOING OUT!" Sakura shouted while pointing her finger towards the couple.
Both Naruto and Hinata looked at each other while light blushes grew on their faces.
"Well...Yeah..." Naruto said while awkwardly scratching behind his head, while Hinata had a small smile grow on her face.
"Oh my gosh I;m so happy for you two!" The pink haired Kunochi said as she ran over and held tightly onto the two.
"Phew, I no longer have to keep the secret." Ino said as she took in a sigh of relief.
"You guys just have to tell me everything, like who asked who out, where did you have your first date, oh and did you two kiss yet?"
"Sakura!" Naruto shouted.
"What I'm sorry but I just want to know everything about you two." Sakura said with a hint of gitty.
"Actually I wanna know everything too." Ino said.
"We...Well...We were about to have lunch, if you'd like we wouldn't mind having some company." Hinata replied.
"Alright, as long as Naruto treating." Sakura said with a grin as she and the others entered the ramen shop.
"Aww, why do I have to pay?"
"Because you're the Hokage's son." Ino said.
Minutes later, as the group of Shinobi enjoyed their meal. Naruto and Hinata indulged Sakura and Ino with tales about their adventures together, and eventually begain to tell their tales of how they came to be together.
"I have to admit...I was worried when Naruto had brought me to the forest. But when I saw that he had made such a lovely picnic on top of that hillside. And the moment when the fireworks went off and we shared our...First kiss." Hinata said with a blush.
"Oooohhhhhhh, Naruto you sly dog you." Ino said with a grin while rubbing her elbow against the blushing blonde's stomach.
"NARRRRUTOOOOOOO...YOU PURPOSLY DROVE A GIRL OUT INTO THE FOREST ALONE!" Sakura shouted as she put Naruto in a choke hold.
"Gahhh...Sakura...I wouldn't...do anything like that to...Hinata...ACK!" Naruto said while repeatedly tapping Sakura's arm.
"Sa...Sakura!" Hinata blurted out.
"Hey Billboard Brow, if you weren't busy trying to choke the poor guy out. You wouldn't have missed out on what the point of Hinata's story!." Ino said while Sakura completely loosened her grip around Naruto.
"They had their first kiss."
Suddenly Sakura's attitude changed.
"Oh my favorite knucklehead finally had his first kiss." Sakura said happily as she suddenly started to choke Naruto again.
"I can't win here." Naruto said to himself.
"Oh hey Naruto I've been meaning to ask you something." Ino asked.
"So we all know that Hinata has been in love with you her whole life. But what I want to know is when did you start falling for Hinata?"
Suddenly all three of the girls attention were focused on Naruto, while the hyperactive ninja found himself looking back on his past.
"Ummmm well...Now that you mentioned it." Naruto said as placed his fingers underneath his chin.
"I guess it happened that one night."
Naruto then painted an image of him, Hinata and Jiraiya as they were out exploring the wilderness outside Mount Myoboku back during their training.
"Naruto...Did you get that tent set up yet!" The old sage shouted as he carried two pales of water up to the campsite he and his two young students had made for the evening.
"Almost!" Naruto replied as he and a couple of his shadow clones struggled to fix up the tent, while Hinata started a small campfire.
"I got the campfire started Sensei." Hinata shouted.
"Ah excellent job Hinata." Jiraiya said.
"Yes I'm finished!" Naruto shouted as he as he stood proudly next to the tent.
"Oh really?" Jiraiya said as he walked up to the tent.
"Eh, pretty cool tent huh Pervy Sage?" Naruto said proudly.
"Not bad, not bad." The sage said as he carefully inspected the tent.
Just as Jiraiya finished his inspections he gently blew some air onto the tent, and in a matter of seconds the tent suddenly collapsed.
"Yup, you'll have to make it all over again."
"PERVY SAGE!" Naruto shouted.
"No butts kid now hope to it."
"Fine." Naruto said in a gloomy tone.
"So Hinata which side of the tent do you want?" Naruto asked as he began to reassemble the tent.
"Hold it Naruto." Jiraiya said.
"You and I are sleeping outside tonight, while Hinata gets the tent."
"Say what!" Naruto shouted.
"I...I don't mind Sensei really." Hinata said.
"It's not about sharing Hinata. Back on Mount Myoboku you at least have you own dorm with privacy, while out here in the wilderness you're out here with two boys and no privacy."
"I...I see." Hinata said with a blush.
"Okay, but what happens if it rains Pervy?" Naruto asked as he wrestled with the tent's tarp.
"We'll then we politely ask Hinata if she's decent and once she is then we'll camp in the tent."
"Oh alright." Naruto replied.
"N...Naruto-kun I...I don't mind if you wanted to sleep in the tent re...really." Hinata said.
"Nah it's cool Hinata, besides what Pervy Sage said does make sense." Naruto replied.
"I mean my mom and dad have always told me to respect girls so I don't really mind, and anyways I was just giving the Pervy Sage a hard time."
"Oh alright." Hinata replied.
As the day was slowly turning into night, and the evening sun was touching the western mountains. We find the group of Shinobi enjoying a pleasant meal with each other.
"My, Hinata. I have had a lot of meals before, but I've gotta say that was the best meal I have had in a long time." Jirayia said.
"Yeah Hinata you gotta teach me how to cook like that someday." Naruto said while patting his stomach.
"Thank you everyone." Hinata said with a light blush.
"Alright you two, we'll worry about the dishes tomorrow right now I say it's time we all turn in." The elderly sage said as he unrolled his sleeping bag next to the camp fire.
"Yeah I hear ya Pervy." Naruto said with a yawn.
"Al...Alright...G...Good night everyone." Hinata said with a bow before she entered the tent.
"Good night Hinata." Naruto shouted.
"Sleep tight." Jirayia replied.
As the hours passed by and the full moon reached it's peek, we find the young Hyuga tossing and turning in her sleep.
"Oh my, I can't get to sleep." Hinata said to herself as she slowly lifted herself from her sleeping bag.
She quickly poked her head outside the tent and watched as both Naruto and Master Jirayia slept comfortably next to the camp fire.
"I hope I won't be disturbing them if I step away for awhile." Hinata said as she quickly garbed her usual clothes on.
"I think that small water fall we saw as we were walking through the forest earlier wasn't that far away." The young Kunochi said as she quietly walked into the forest.
Moments after after searching in the forest, the young Kunochi finally found a small water fall that was directly above a babbling brook . The light from the full moon shimmered against the cascading waterfall.
"Perfect." The young Kunochi said to herself.
Meanwhile back at the campsite, a rush of cool night air awoke the elderly sage from his slumber.
As he lifted himself up he noticed that the fire was slowly dying out.
"Naruto, hey Naruto." Jirayia said as he awoke the young Shinobi.
"Darn it Pervy I was dreaming that Ichiraku was having an all you can eat special." Naruto said as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"Hey the fire's slowly going out would ya go get some more fire wood?"
"Aww why me?" Naruto said as he slowly grabbed his jacket and shoes on.
"Hey haven't you heard of helping your elders, and besides somebody has to keep the fire going till we get more fire wood."
"Fine." Naruto replied as he walked into the forest.
We find the hyper active ninja collecting any twig, branch and lumber that was in sight.
"Man can't believe Pervy is making me do this, as though he doesn't trust me with keeping watch over the fire." Naruto said to himself.
"Okay there was that one time back on Mount..." Naruto said to himself but was suddenly interrupted by the sound a rustling water in the distance.
"What was that?" Naruto said as he gently put the pile of fire wood on the ground and went to investigate.
Naruto slowly approached a small babbling brook, with a small waterfall right above it.
"I'm pretty sure I heard that weird noise coming from..."
Just then, they hyper active ninja saw a mysterious shadow dancing on top of the water.
"What the..." Naruto said to himself as the figure leapt high into the air.
As the figure spun itself in front of the light of the full moon, a female figure took shape as it gracefully twirled in the air.
"Is...Is that a...girl?" Naruto asked himself with a blush as he used the light from the moon to traced the shadows of the curves of the mysterious girl.
The mysterious girl gracefully returned to the water's surface and quickly spun herself while creating a veil of water around herself. The full moon's light made the veil of water shimmer.
"Wow she's...Beautiful." Naruto said to himself in awe,
Without realizing the young Shinobi was slowly pulling himself towards the water.
"Wait is that..." The hyper active ninja said just before he plummeted into the pound.
The mysterious girl quickly noticed Naruto's presence and retreated into the forest.
"Hey I'm really sorry about that miss I..." Naruto said as he got out of the water.
But as he searched the entire area, there was no sign of the mysterious girl anywhere.
"Hello...Is...Is...anyone there?" Naruto shouted as he continued to search for the mysterious girl.
But unaware to the spiky blonde haired Shinobi that on the other side of the pond laid a pair of women's clothing on top of a nearby rock, with the Hyuga clan insignia on the sleeve of the jacket.
