Team 7 minus Sasuke was at the gate of Konoha saying their goodbyes to Arashi and his team. The reason behind Sasuke not showing up was because he was furious with the fact thanks to Arashi he was humiliated in front of everyone. After the invasion ended Unabara and his team stayed behind to help Konoha rebuild a little bit before they left. They only reason why they stayed behind was because Arashi suffered internal bleeding and needed medical attention. The reason they helped Leaf rebuild was to make time go by faster. When Arashi got out of the hospital his left arm was in a sling to keep it from moving around to much, but instead of leaving they continued to help the Konoha people. The reason behind them leaving now is because Unabara received a note from their Mizukage telling them that they were needed back at the village now.
They had enough time to stay for the burial of everyone who lost they lives defended their home. The appearance of the Mist nins at the burial confused them greatly and when someone asked what their were doing Unabara responded by saying we are paying our respect to the falling.
"Thanks for your help." Kakashi said shaking Unabara's hand.
"No problem." Unabara said with a slight smile. "We would have stayed longer, but our Mizukage is calling us."
"See you later Naruto." Arashi said with his half smile on his lips.
Naruto nodded his head, but Sakura spoke up. "What was that power you used against Naruto?" Sakura asked in almost whisper. Arashi looked at her in surprise, but then smiled at her.
"I'll tell what that was later." Arashi said with amusement. "Hell you might even figure it out yourself."
Sakura only looked at him with a critical eye which amused him even more. Arashi then leaned forward and began to whisper into Naruto's ear.
"You'll have to tell them sooner or later." Arashi said with a note of seriousness in his voice. "Especially that Hyuga girl you are going out with." At that Naruto's eyes widened.
"How do you know that I haven't told anyone yet?" Naruto asked with confusion in his voice.
Arashi just smiled as a black and gold eagle screeched overhead. Arashi just turned back around and noticed his team already walking away. He ran in the direction of them waving at Team 7 with a smile on his face.
Team 7 watched has the Mist group disappeared into the forest. The team turned around to go back into their village.
Naruto separated from his team to go off to find a quiet place to rest from all that has happened in the course of two days. He was lying underneath a tree when he heard someone coming towards him. He turned in the direction of the footsteps and saw Kurenai.
"Hey, Naruto." Kurenai said with a sweet tone.
"Hello Kurenai-sensei." Naruto said with a smile.
"What are you up too?" Kurenai asked
"Just resting." Naruto stated with amusement.
"Oh, will I can't blame you it has been a stressful two days." Kurenai said in a saddened voice thinking about everything that as happened. "I hear you're taking Hinata out on a date."
"How did you know that?" Naruto asked only to see Kurenai smile at him.
"I asked Hinata why she was so happy two days after she got out of the hospital." Kurenai said with amusement, but the look she suddenly gave Naruto was creepy. "Just to let you know if you so much as make Hinata sad or cry I don't care where you are I will find you and hurt you. Do I make myself clear Naruto?"
Naruto nodded his head very quickly saying that he would never hurt Hinata.
"Good." Kurenai said her smile on her lips again. "Well you best get going and get ready."
Naruto got up very quickly and ran leaving a trail of dust behind him and a smiling Kurenai. Naruto walked through the village until he found who he was looking for. Hinata was walking with Kiba and Shino when Naruto came up to her. Hinata immediately blushed at seeing Naruto.
"He-Hello Na-Naruto." Hinata said with a stutter.
"Hi, Hinata." Naruto said with a slight smile "You remember what I said in the hospital when you were hurt by Neji right."
Hinata's blush deepened in color and she nodded her head.
"Well, how about I pick you up around seven?" Naruto asked.
"Tha-That should be fine Naruto." Hinata said
"Great see you then." Naruto said while running off.
"What was all that about?" Kiba asked Shino.
"It would appear that Hinata as arranged a date with Naruto." Shino said in his monotone voice. "And it would be wise for you to catch her."
At this Kiba gave him a confused look until he felt Hinata fell backwards into him. Kiba caught her and kept himself and her from falling onto the ground. Kiba looked at Hinata and saw a small smile on her face.
"Same old Hinata." Kiba said with a smile Shino only nodded.

Naruto arrived at the Hyuga manor one minute before seven he was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened revealing Hiashi.
"Hinata will be down in a second." Hiashi said with an emotionless voice. "But before you go anywhere we need to talk."
Naruto swallowed the lump that was developing in his throat as he was lead into Hiashi's study.
"I wish to know what your plans are for my daughter." Hiashi said.
"Well, I would like to know her better." Naruto said in a nervous tone. "You know her likes and her dislikes."
Hiashi stared at Naruto with his white after awhile Naruto felt like he was looking into his very soul.
"Very well." Hiashi said. "You are to bring her back at eight not one second later if you are I will find you and put you in the hospital for a month. Do I make myself clear Naruto?"
Naruto nodded his head in understanding. Hiashi nodded his own head and lead Naruto back to the front door where they meet Hinata. She looked from her farther to Naruto with a confused look.
"You ready to go Hinata?" Naruto asked. Hinata blushed, but nodded her head regardless. The two left the house, but Naruto looked behind him to see Hiashi looking at him sharpening a sword with his byakugan activated. Naruto just gulped and kept walking happy to get away from the stare that Hiashi was giving him. Naruto and Hinata both got to Ichiraku they sat down and watched as Ayame came out to take their order.
"Hey Naruto who's your girlfriend?" Ayame said with a smile on her face. Both Naruto's and Hinata's face turned red.
"This is Hinata." Naruto said still red.
"Well it's nice to meet you." Ayame said. "Well what will you guys be having today."
"I'll have some miso ramen." Naruto said in joy Ayame nodded her head and looked at Hinata.
"I'll hav-have the sa-same thing." Hinata said. Ayame smiled and went to go fill out their orders. Naruto and Hinata began to discuss different things what they liked, disliked, and what missions they went on before the Chunin exams. When Ayame came back with their order they ate in silence. When they got done with their meals Naruto paid for the ticket and then went on their way. Naruto realized they still had some time before Hiashi would come looking for Naruto to skin him with his sword took Hinata to the top of the Hokage Monument.
"It's beautiful." Hinata said as she saw the sun beginning to set casting a beautiful orange glow across the village. Naruto looked at her and saw her glow in the setting sun and he developed a slight blush.
"Hinata is beautiful." Naruto thought "I have to ask her and see if it is true."
"Hey Hinata can I ask you something." Naruto said in a nervous tone. Hinata looked at him and gave him a nod. "Do you love me?"
Hinata blushed a bright crimson and fainted right on the spot only to have Naruto catch her. When Hinata came back she was looking directly into the concerned face of Naruto. She blushed once more and almost fainted again, but resisted the urge.
"I'm sorry Hinata I shouldn't have said that right then." Naruto said with sadness in his voice.
"It's o-okay Naruto." Hinata stated with a worried tone. "But wh-why the su-sudden in-interest."
"Someone told me that you care for me more then just friends." Naruto said in a honest voice.
Hinata began to run through the different people who knew and who would tell she marked off each one until she got to Arashi. She then remembered what he said on the balcony about growing up alone and not knowing what true love was.
"Did he do this so I would have to tell Naruto?" Hinata thought to herself. "Well if he set this up this opportunity then I'm not going to waste it."
"Ye-Yes Naruto I lo-love yo-you." Hinata said without looking at him. "I ha-have always loved you since the ac-academy."
At that Naruto was shocked. "She loves me ever since the academy."
"Hinata I don't know what my feelings are to you…"Naruto said with a pained look on his face.
Hinata thought the worse and tears where threatening to spill out of her eyes, but all her pain went away with Naruto's next words.
"… But if you are willing to give me a chance I want to see where my true feelings about you are." Naruto said with a smile. Hinata nodded her head and they both hugged each other as the sun began to disappear the both broke the embrace and looked each other in the eyes and before they could stop they kissed each other. When they broke from the kiss they were both supporting the same color blush.
"That was interesting." Naruto said with some nervousness. Hinata only blushed harder and looked at the ground hiding her smile. They both stood on the monument watching as the sun final set.

Naruto was walking hand in hand with Hinata when they approached the Hyuga manor only to see Hiashi outside on the front step. He looked at them and nodded as he let Hinata walk inside.
"Cutting it a little bit close weren't you." Hiashi said in his emotionless voice.
"Oh, I wasn't that close was I?" Naruto asked with some nervousness
"You had about one second before I came after you." Hiashi said in a voice that left no doubt that it was true. "Goodnight Uzumaki." An with that Hiashi went back inside while Naruto went to his apartment.

The next morning Naruto was outside training thinking about last night when Jiraiya appeared.
"Hey, Ero-Sennin what's up?" Naruto said his fox smile in place.
"I told you not to call me that!" Jiraiya yelled at his student. "But that aside you are coming with me on a mission and I'll be training you on the way." At that Naruto's eyes sparkled like stars, but he stopped and thought about Hinata.
"It won't be right to leave without saying goodbye." Naruto thought
"Can I do one thing before we leave?" Naruto asked Jiraiya
"Sure, but be quick and meet me at the north gate." Jiraiya said before disappearing in a swirl of leaves. Naruto headed straight for the Hyuga mansion in order to find Hinata.

"Why do you have to go?" Hinata asked with a little bit of sadness in her voice.
"Jiraiya needs me to go with him for some reason." Naruto said. "But I promise you that when I get back I'll make it up to you."
"Promise." Hinata said with a smile.
"Promise and you know I don't go back on my word." Naruto said with his fox smile on his face. He was about to turn around when he grabbed Hinata and gave her a kiss on her lips that left her stunned. When he broke off he smiled at her as she began to turn red.
"That was to seal the promise." Naruto said with his smile as he disappeared leaving behind a very happy Hyuga.

"So you ready to go." Jiraiya said with a bored tone.
"Yep, but tell me what are you going to teach me this time?" Naruto asked with eagerness in his voice.
"I'm going to teach you one of the Yondaime's original techniques." Jiraiya said as he watched the eagerness grow in Naruto. "The rasengan."

On the border of Mist four people were coming into view and one of them was waving his arms around like a madman.
"Stupid thick ass mist." Arashi said with annoyance in his voice while his teammates only watched in amusement. Thanks to the mist Arashi couldn't see where he was going and tripped on a rock and landed face first onto the hard earth.
"Stupid ground!" Arashi mumbled out as his sensei picked him up while Taifuu began to laugh and Nami giggled.
"That's enough Arashi were here already." Unabara said with a tinge of laughter in his voice.
"Why does our Mizukage want to see us when the mist is this fucking thick?" Arashi said with a growl.
"Maybe because she knew it would annoy you." Taifuu said still laughing. Before Arashi could retort a mist ANBU appeared wearing a white clothing to blend in to the mist and a fish shaped mask.
"Oh, hello ANBU-san don't worry tell the Mizukage we are on our way." Unabara said with a smile.
"No," The ANBU said with a monotone voice. "She doesn't want to see you she wants to see Arashi." At this everyone gave shocked looks except for one.
"Come again?" Arashi asked while scratching his head.
There it is I hope you all enjoy it oh and just to let you know I will be sticking with Arashi all the way until Naruto fails to bring Sasuke back, but after that it will be back to Naruto and I'll be going of cannon a bit. The reason why I'm doing this is because I want to give you guys a back story on Arashi. You know where he original came from, who took care of him, and more about that mind covering Genjutsu of his. So until next time Read and review. Oh, can anyone tell me how to say The Embodiment of Illusion and Destruction in Japanese thanks
