...move's on. ( part 2)
Hyuuga Hinata stood there, admiring the stream and the forest with out a care in the world. She had just returned from a mission from sand, only a B class one to. Hinata and her team had to protect a group of travelers from the leave's to the sand, forcing her to have to put up their...unique behavior. Of course when the one guy grabbed her ass, she sent him through a few walls, but beside's that it was fine. Hinata just needed to relax and come to a place that helped her remember...
Hinata sighed, how long had it been, 7...8 years, and not a damn word from him. She had no clue wether or not he was still alive, and that's what frightened her. All Hinata really had as confirmation that he was still alive was from Jiraiya, who Naruto sent a message to every to weeks. Even then though, Naruto stopped sending message's, which was about a year ago. And through all of this, Hinata wondered were the hell he was?
It's nothing new that Hinata cried when she found out what happened to Naruto , oh that would be an understatement ( but lets not go into exact details ). All the anger, sadness, pain she received in knowing that this village not only killed him, but his mother, just kinda rushed to her all at once. Which reminded her that Anko's anniversary would be coming soon...
Hinata pushed that thought to the side, as she looked down at the necklace and played with it a bit. This necklace was the last thing she ever received from Naruto, well actually, it was the only thing she received from Naruto, materia wise anyway. Of course she had received things from Lee and Shino, but this one was special...disregarding the time frame on it.
Hinata blushed at that thought...and the thought of how she would've had him. Yeah, she knew that the females of this village weren't going to take an interest in him, so what? Less competition for her. Her hopes rose when she first set eye's on naruto's neckless. Of course she knew he just his clan symbol on there and had no clue what it meant, but she still took the opportunity All she had to do then was wait till they were seven-teen and she would have been 'forced 'to marry him. But nooooo, the people of this damn village had to go and try to kill him, like they hadn't already done enough as it is...
Hinata snapped out of her thought's, as she spun around and pulled out a kunia, placing it near a man's throat. The man didn't even flinch, as the kunai pressed up against his clothing ( the big collar...remember? ) the looked down at her with dull blue eye's, waiting for her to make her next move..
"...Blue...eyes..." Hinata though, as she stared into them, only to receive a chuckle out of the owner, which snapped her back to reality.
" I get that a lot." he stated, as he watched Hinata about to say something. " I mean no harm, I only came to admire the stream." He said, cutting her off. Hinata thought about it for a moment, the decided he was telling the truth and put her kunai back into it hoister. I mean come on, if he wanted to kill her he would've by now. Not only did he sneak up on a Hyuuga , but he also didn't even flinch as a kunai was being pressed against his throat (not that it means much.)
The man just smiled at her and walked towards the stream, before bending down and splashing the water a bit with his hand, not once paying any attention to Hinata, who just stood there and watched him. This went on for several minutes until he finally spoke up.
" So Hyuuga-sama, why are you here? Shouldn't you be with the other Hyuuga's training?" asked the man, not in a tone of mockery, but more of a tone of curiosity. Hinata was shocked that this guy knew her family, before mentally slapping her forehead. Of course he knew her family, everyone did. She stared at the man for a few moments, as he continued to splash the water around. Hinata contemplated on wether or not to tell him her reason, then decided what the hell? Not like it's going to change anything...right?
" My reason for coming here is...so that I can remember a friend of mine." Hinata said, as the figure stopped splashing the water and looked at her. His eye's having some mild interest.
" A friend you say? " The man replied, as Hinata nodded.
" Yes, my best friend."
The man thought for a moment before asking."So where is he now?"
" Some things happened...and he had to leave." Hinata said, drawing out the last part, as she clutched her fist up and closed. The man looked at her with sympathy, before standing straight up.
" Well it's time I be on my way." stated the man as he began to walk past Hinata and continue onwards, before stopping and looking over his shoulder. " I hope you find your friend, Naruto, Hyuuga-sama." and with that he faded away. Hinata snapped in the man's direction at the mentioning of Naruto's name , only to see that he was gone, leaving her to wonder what the hell just happened.
" Who...was he." Hinata thought, unaware that she just gave Naruto a reason to stay in the leaf...for a little while.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto continued onward towards the tower, his talk with Hinata had really brightened his mood. Hell, he might just stay in this hell of a village for awhile ( see, told you), just to see his old friends again. He continued to walk forward, as the guards paid no attention to him, having already been informed of his arrival. He made his way to the lobby just outside the Hokage's room, seeing both Tayuya and Kyojin siting on one of the benches, waiting for him. Naruto looked to see that Kyojin looked a bit worried and Tayuya looked even more pissed than usual.
"He didn't believe you right?" Naruto asked, as he watched Kyojin sigh.
" Not one word."Kyojin replied, as Naruto heard Tayuya mutter something along the line's of mother fucking old timer. Naruto sighed massaged his timbale's, closing his eye's to think. He opened his eye's a few seconds later and looked at them.
" Did he at least give you 'sanctuary'?" Naruto asked, as Kyojin brighten a bit
"Hai, he did, it seem's were going to be living in an apartment not to far from here, we were only waiting for you to show up."Kyojin then got up and gave Naruto a key, presumably to the apartment. Naruto in return summoned a small spider and handed it to him.
" Stay with them." Naruto ordered, as the spider made some clicking noise's and crawled up Kyojin arm, Tayuya made a face of disgust, even though she should have been used to spiders by now.
"Oh and one more thing...I'll take care of Ero-Oiji-san, so don't worry about it." Naruto said, as he took off his cloak and handed it to Kyojin , who just looked at him in shock ( What he's wearing will be told later on in this chapter ). Naruto, NEVER took off his cloak, not that he knew of anyway. Naruto just gave them his infamous grin before heading into the Hokage's office, Tayuya and Kyojin watching him as he entered...
Inside.
Jiraiya looked up from his paperwork to see a very foxy grin, one of which he meet with his own.
" Long time no see...eh Naruto?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata sighed, as she continued to walk down the streets of Kohonah, having already rejected a few
males looking to go out with her. Hell, it was only noon, something must have been up. Sure she had gotten that many to ask her out on a day, but not so soon. Nope, most of them where lazy bastards.
She wondered what it could have been, of course she had heard rumors of a people showing up recently ( with Ino around, who wouldn't?). knowing them, they probably thought that their chance's were getting slim. Hinata began to laugh as she thought about it. Beside's, she won't fall for just anyone.
" HINATA-CHAN!" Hinata smiled, as she turned around to face a Lee, who was jogging lightly towards her. He had changed over the years, especially when they did the unthinkable. They were able to get Lee, of all people, to wear something other then his green suit, truly an act of god. Of course, Hinata didn't know what happened to the suit, only that Lee had dealt with it.
" He probably built a shrine for it." Hinata thought dryly, as she took the time to admire his clothes. He was now wearing a ( from top to bottom) a pair of brown pants, along with a long-sleeved black shirt, which actually showed his muscles quite well. He had a pair of sandles and to keep a little of his old self, still wore bandage's around both of his arms and hands. He also wore his chuunin vest, which also seemed to add to his muscular look.
"Hello Lee-kun." she greeted, as Lee stopped and jogged in place.
" Hinata-chan, Hokage-sama has summoned us to his office! He is probably going to give us a speech on how he's so proud OF ARE YOUTHFUL SPIRTS! LET US REJ-." Lee stopped there when he felt his foot getting stomped on, which caused him to jump on one foot and hold the other on while yelling in pain. Of course Hinata hated to do it, but it was the only way to stop him from giving his speeches. After he finally stopped ( took a good three minutes.) Hinata began to speak.
" Why exactly has Jiraiya-sama summoned us?" Hinata asked, hoping to get a little information out of Lee before another youthful spirt rant. Don't get her wrong, she loved Lee like a little brother, with the fact that he had the one thing that every little brother had...
Being exceptional at annoying the HELL out of people.
" I sorry Hinata-chan, he only told me to retrieve you and Shino-kun, and that he would explain when we arrive." Stated Lee, as he watched Hinata sigh and think for a moment.
" Lee-kun, where were you when you received the message?" asked Hinata.
" I was at the training field." Stated Lee happily, as he began to become excited at the thought of possibly continuing his training with Hinata. That way those people would leave him alone. Hinata knew he was thinking this.
Surprisingly with all of lee's craziness and defaults, he had...a fan club, which proved that you only needed hard core abb's to make it in this world. Most of the time when Hinata trains with Lee, she's ends up having to chase the girls away.
"Which field?" Hinata asked.
" Number 15."
"So you managed to run all the way from training field 15 and tell me that we were summoned in less than...?"
" One, It was in less than 5 minutes and two, I told Shino-kun first." Lee said, cutting Hinata off, as she raised a eye brow. Sure enough, Shino landed next to Lee on a large cloud of bugs. The bugs quickly returned to him as he landed on the ground. Shino had a interesting style of clothes, one could say... He wore ( do I even have to say it) a pair of black and white cargo pants and a HUGE black jacket, I mean he looked big enough at 6'4, but damn. He kept the jacket unzipped to revel a dark green shirt. He wore boots and bandages around his hands, also carrying a large brown pot on his back, the lid tightly on.
Hinata was relieved to see him, since most people ( the one's that didn't know him ) tended to avoid both Hinata and Lee when they saw him. Shino was a giant in his clan with his height and muscular look, which scared the shit out of anyone that came near. What really pissed off Hinata was the fact that the only time they would actually notice him was when they were trying to get points with her or Lee.
"Hello Shino-kun." Hinata said with a smile, as Shino turned his attention to Hinata.
"...Hello Hinata-chan." He replied, while keeping his stoic face. He still rarely showed emotion, even after all this time. Hinata knew he cared, but she at least wanted him to open up more.
" How's Okami?" Hinata asked.
"...She's fine, me and her were actually training before Lee came." Shino stated, as he looked over at Lee, who was in his own little world. "...Should you do it or should I?"
Hinata sighed, as she walked up to Lee and smacked him upside the forehead, causing him to snap to. " Lee-kun stay focused. We have to get to the tower. " Stated Hinata, as Shino and Lee nodded, before they headed off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hokage tower was or is one of the best looking buildings in Konoha. It is over 15 stories tall, each storey having it's own department in different areas of the shinobi world. It undoubtedly had the best security as well, the Hyuuga mansion being second of course... What really shocked Hinata was that they were able to keep such a large place clean 24/7.
As soon as they arrived at the tower the were push up the long widening stairs, only to reach the top and be out of breath. At the sound of a noise, they turned around in time to see a wall open up and two people walk out from an elevator. At once, all three of their eye's twitched, as the man who sent them up the stairs walked out from behind the first two. The man looked at them and noticed the rising of killer intent, he greeted them with a sheepish smile...before running for his life.
Hinata sighed, as she started to head towards the Hokage's office, the nicest building in the entire complex . The other two followed, though still pissed that they walked up those steep stairs . When they entered the Hokage's office they were greeted with a grinning Jiraiya, who had a clean desk. Which in it's self was rare indeed...the desk part that is.
" Hello Hinata, Lee, Shino." Jiraiya greeted, as the three bowed.
" Hello Hokage-sama." The three said at the same time, as Jiraiya sighed.
" God...I hate that title." " I have some important news for you three." Jiraiya said in an exciting tone of voice. He looked like he was about to bounce right out of the chair.
"...So?" asked Shino, as Hinata and Lee gave their full attention to the Jiraiya.
" First let me ask you a question." Jiraiya said, as all three of the chuunin looked at him confusedly.
" What is the one thing in your child hood that you remember the most?" Hinata, Shino, and Lee looked at each other for a second before turning to Jiraiya
" It would be him." Hinata whispered, as her eye's stared at the floor
" Hai, and his SPIRIT OF YOUTH, OH HOW IT SHINED WITH-." Shino covered Lee's mouth quickly.
" ...He would be it." Shino said, as he kept his hand over Lee's mouth, praying to god that he would keep quite.
Jiraiya smiled warmly at their reactions, as he leaned back in his chair, making himself comfortable. " Well, this news involves him." the stared at him in shock, before Hinata snapped out of it.
" What is it about? Where is he? What happened to him? Why the hell hasn't he even spoken to us? Is he hu-."
"STOP!" Jiraiya, cutting Hinata off, before trying to regain his composure. He sighed before making himself comfortable once again.
" Instead of asking me all this shit, why not ask him." Jiraiya then looked over his shoulder. " You can come out now." The three's eye's grew BIG as a figure appeared before their eye's ( if you had to imagine how, just think of the predators off of AVP when they turn off their camouflage gear.)
The man standing before them was 6 feet tall. He wore ( you know already.) A pair of black jeans and an orange hoddie. He also wore sandle's and his hands were wrapped with bandage's, along with some hand and arm guards. The jeans had around 6 to 7 pockets on it and three belts, two that held some scroll pouches and holster's. His hoodie had what looked like a tail attached to it, going around the hoodie in a circle, making it look like a belt. The hood itself was HUGE, he could hide his face easily underneath it. The hood also had to fox ears sown on it, and fur sown on the edges of the hoodie. What really caught their attention was the figures spikey blond hair and...blue eye's.
Hinata stepped forward, still keeping her eye's on the man." N-Naruto." she said, as her eye's shined with hope. The man replied, his face forming into a foxy grin.
" Hello Hinata-Chan, Lee-kun, Shino-kun...it's been a while."

Outside the Hokage tower, Kakashi was walking by reading his new paradise novel that he imported from snow country, spending over 400 hundred dollars in the process. Of course his wife pretty much almost killed him, but thanks to an act of fate, he was let off on just having to do ALL the chores in the house and having to sleep on the couch for the next two months. He knew that it didn't matter, since she would thank him the next time they...played.
Kakashi snapped from his thoughts and lazily looked towards the top floor of the hokage tower. Two figures could be seen flying from it, a black haired figure chasing a blond headed one. Kakashi thought for a moment, before shrugging and continuing to read his book, ignoring the screams of pain coming from the blond figure...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"IT'S BEEN A WHILE? IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY AFTER EIGHT YEARS?" Hinata yelled, as she continued to chase Naruto, who was running for dear life, and leave a trail of destruction in her wake.
Back at the hokage tower, both Lee and Shino started blankly out of the newly made hole in...what was left of the wall. Jiraiya was laughing his ass off, as he rolled on the floor while grabbing his side. He was also wondering if this was the result of being Tsunade's student. Then again, naruto turned out all right...didn't he?
Several hours later.
As soon as Jiraiya finally calmed down, they gave chase to the two. It wasn't much of a difficult search, considering that Hinata left a nice little 'trail' for them to follow. When they arrived at the sight, jiraiya once again wondered if this was Tsunades influence.
In the middle of a crater/ tree wreckage/shurekin and kunai filled training field laid Hinata and Naruto, Naruto being given a bone crushing hug from Hinata. Naruto looked pretty scratched up, compared to Hinata that is... Hinata seemed to be to busy rubbing her cheek against Naruto's ( her eye's where closed and she had a BIG smile on her face) to notice them.
Of course when Naruto finally noticed them, he looked at them with pleading eye's, since he was to afraid to move his mouth in the slightest bit and set off another rampage. Jiraiya just stared at Naruto for a moment before his face slowly turned into a evil smile, as he looked over at Lee and Shino. Lee too had a evil smile, as Jiraiya noticed that Shino's lips twitched a bit. He looked back to Naruto, who was in turn, looking at them frantically. Jiraiya just slowly backed away, as Shino and Lee followed.
" The next few weeks will be quite...interesting. For all of us." Jiraiya thought, as he continued towards the Hokage tower...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you ask, yes, Kakashi dose know that Naruto arrived, he was just to interested in his book to go visit him. Please read and review.
