Chapter 13
Let It Go
"Naruto, it's already been eight days. Can't we play for just a little bit?" Sasuke was almost desperately begging the blond. No response came from the blond.
"Aren't you even going to answer my question?" the raven asked. Another question was made rhetorical. Sasuke was really starting to get annoyed with Naruto and he was already frustrated to a high level. But he couldn't just voice out what he wanted to the blond though he really wanted to scream it at him at the moment. Taking what's left of his patience, he grabbed the sitting blond at his waist and started to kiss his neck softly.
"Please, Naru." he asked again, using his new pet name for the blond. A glint of hope shimmered in the raven's eyes when he heard a soft moan escape from the blond's lips. "I promise I'm going to make you feel good." he whispered seductively on Naruto's ear.
"Ahh, Sasuke please stop. Not now. I'm… watching the movie." Naruto said in almost a gasp for air. He was watching the new ninja movie starred by Yukie Fujikaze, AKA Princess Koyuki of the Land of Snow whom Naruto idolized ever since he saw her movie when they were 12 and he helped save her and her country from the bad guys.
"But you know want to do it too. Your body's craving for it, I can feel it. Why are you fighting what you want?" the raven asked. The blond turned his attention away from the television and looked at the raven.
"Sasuke, you know I want to do it too, but some other time."
"You're sounding like Itachi again. Why some other time when we can do it now?" the raven asked, hoping that Naruto's answer would be something he can counter and win against.
"I do have a reason Sasuke but I can't tell you." Naruto replied firmly. Naruto really does have a reason and why he can't tell Sasuke is because telling him will ruin the purpose of it.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"I just can't. Please, just trust me Sasuke." was all Naruto could mutter. Sasuke was really getting upset with this, and mostly because of Naruto's reasons. So he just did what his instincts are telling him. He leaned forward and captured the blond is a hot searing kiss. 'This should make him want more.'
Sasuke continued to kiss the blond, with more passion and force that their lips could get bruised from their actions. To Sasuke's surprise, Naruto was kissing back with as much passion as he was. Seeing this as a cue that he can continue, he started to run his hands on the blond's stomach, caressing the well toned muscles surrounding it. He felt the blond twitch from the sensations his fingers were sending to the blond's sensitive nerves. He held the blond's shirt and started to pull it up. Naruto help his arms up so the raven could take away his shirt but after doing so, he immediately reconnected his lips which were parted from the raven's for three seconds. But the raven broke from the kiss and now started to lightly suck on the blond's neck, earning him a moan from the blond. He went lower down to the blond's clavicle and continued to his hardening nipple. He sucked on it heatedly and now the blond couldn't help but lie on the bed, definitely enjoying what Sasuke was doing to him. After having his fun with the boy's nipple, he trailed down lower until reaching the hem of the blond's boxers. He was so close to having what he wanted but after starting to pull down the fabric, the blond immediately pulled away from him.
"Sasuke we can't." the blond said with heavy breathing. The blond silently praised himself for regaining his control. But his body was shaking. He wanted this. He definitely wanted to do this but he can't.
"Why the hell not?" Sasuke snapped, his voice loud enough to be heard from the room next to theirs. "You're always saying we can't, we can't, we'll do it some other time, but why can't you tell me why." Naruto didn't know how to react. It was the first time he heard Sasuke shout at him like that in their relationship. He knew he could only blame himself but he could only feel frightened and shock from Sasuke's tone.
"I…" the blond couldn't continue. Sasuke realized at once what he did and went to apologize for his actions.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. It's just, I really…" he said in panic but the blond cut him off before he could even finish.
"No you shouldn't. It's my fault that I won't tell you why we can't yet."
"But still I'm really sorry for shouting at you like that. It's just, like what you said. I need to know why. Please Naruto, tell me." he pleaded, his eyes showing the desperate need to know why. So many reasons can come out from the blond's mouth. What would he say?
"Ok. But please don't tell me I'm so sappy." At last Naruto finally agreed.
"I won't. Whatever your reason is, as long as it has a good point, I'll be fine with it." Sasuke assured.
"I want that our relationship not be based by sex." Naruto said.
"That's it?" was all the raven could say.
"I wanted it to be a special moment shared between the two of us. Sasuke, remember that after the escort mission we did and when we returned to the village, we had sex?"
"Uh huh."
"Do you remember how many times we did it?"
"I didn't really count but I hues it was a lot of times."
"16 times Sasuke. 16."
"Did we really?" Sasuke couldn't believe they reached that much. Was he really that horny that he had to have 16 sessions in one week? Not to mention that it was at least two rounds each time and sometimes it reached to five rounds. Well, he was deprived of it for two weeks that the day they returned to the village after the mission, they immediately went at it but did they really have 16 sessions?
"Yes we did. We had sex in the morning and in the evening and a few days we even did it during the afternoon after lunch."
"But you enjoyed it as much as I did right?" that was the question. If Naruto enjoyed it, then Sasuke wouldn't have any problem with Naruto's reasoning. As long as he has given pleasure to the blond as much as he received it, he's happy.
"Of course I did. I enjoy every single moment I'm with you, especially the more intimate ones."
"If that is so, why won't you want to share it with me now?"
"I already told, I want to make sex something special. I don't really want to call it sex. I want to call it love-making." Could Naruto be sappier? That was Sasuke was thinking right now but of course he can't tell the blond that.
"Of course it's love-making. I love you and I want to show it to you every chance I got." Sasuke said. "Alright. If you really want, I'll wait."
"Thanks Sasuke. It really makes me feel that if we do it everyday it won't have that much meaning anymore, you know. It will be just like a routine to follow." Naruto voiced his opinions out. Then a smirk made its way to his face as he grabbed the back of the raven's neck and pulled him into a kiss. The raven responded as fiercely as he did a while ago and they continued to make out for about another five minutes before getting a time out.
"Naruto?" Sasuke called the blond's attention who was breathing hard as he rested on the bed. The blond turned to look at the raven only to be greeted again with an evil smile. What could the Uchiha be thinking right now?
"Yeah?"
"You're not making love with me just because I only let you top once in all the times we did it right?" Sasuke teased him.
"Of course not. Why would you even think that?"
"I was just kidding about that. But seriously, do you want to top the next time we do it?"
"That would be nice. But it's fine with me if you don't want to bottom."
"So you do like being bottom then, my little uke?"
Naruto blushed at this. Did Sasuke just call him an uke. No, he can't accept that but he was right. He only topped once and he was the one always playing hard to get. He was like the girl in the relationship. But being dominated by Sasuke like that, at first he felt that he would want to balance it out with Sasuke but all the times he was bottom, it just felt so good that he never thought about topping again. Sasuke was just so good. How could he deny that?
"How could I not like it when you make me feel so good?" Naruto admitted, his cheeks flaming red. He turned his face away to hide it but Sasuke cupped his chin and kissed him on the lips.
"Then I guess next time it will be you who would make me feel that good too."
"I promise you I will, Sasuke." the blond kissed the raven again. They almost had their first fight but thankfully it was resolve before it turned into a real one. He held the raven in a tight embrace as they slowly drifted into the realms of slumber.
...
Next day found Naruto training early on the outskirts of the Mist Village. It was already 6 AM but he started 2 hours ago. Of course Sasuke was against this because he didn't want the blond just wandering off on his own in a village which is unfamiliar to them but the blond has convinced him that he will be fine and that he needed to train alone. If he trained with Sasuke, then how will he be able to beat the raven once they reach the final round? They would have already seen each others' move and you can't win against your opponent if that happens. The element of surprise is always necessary.
After practicing the new moves he developed that incorporated the teleportation jutsu, he decided to get a little rest under a tree. He sat down and let his eyes drift to sleep.
"Aren't we getting a little careless, Naruto." he heard a whisper from behind him. He didn't immediately recognize the voice because he was starting to fall asleep but instinctively, he used the jutsu he had in his arsenal. In a flash, he was now behind the new arrival and grabbed both of his wrists, only to be relieved when he realized that it was Sai.
"Hey, don't sneak up on me like that." he said. He let go of his hold on the pale-skin raven.
"How did you…?" Sai was shocked. 'How in the world did he do that? Naruto's not fast. He could have only achieved speed like that if he was in Sage Mode or Nine-Tails' Chakra Mode. But I didn't even feel him move. He was there and he was gone, only to appear behind me again in no time at all.'
"It's a secret." Naruto grinned.
"Ok."
"And by the way, what are you doing here? Did anybody else come here? Where are they? Why didn't anyone inform us that you're going to come here?" the blond asked excitedly, his questions piling up before Sai could even answer them.
"Slow down. We're just here to watch the final rounds of the exam. Yes, others came here too. They're at the hotel you're staying at. And we didn't inform you because it's not really necessary." Sai answered all his questions calmly, opposite of how the blond asked them. How he managed to even register and remember all the questions and answer them is quite a feat.
"That's great. Who came with you?"
"Well, there's Kiba, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, Sakura, Hinata and even Suigetsu and Juugo came." the raven enumerated.
"Cool. Come on lets go back. I want to see them. I have so much to talk about."
"Ok lets… huh?"
"Ok. We're back."
"What just happened?" a very, very puzzled Sai asked himself. There they were in the middle of the hotel lounge and all his other companions were now looking at them.
"Hey guys, what's up?!" Naruto hollered at them, who were just taking in the fact that Naruto and Sai just appeared in front of them out of nowhere.
"Yo Naruto! Good to see you. Congratulations on finishing the first three exams. It's about time you become a Chūnin." Kiba said to him. "Shikamaru here by the way has just been promoted to Jounin and is now the Hokage's official adviser. You're really falling behind Naruto. I might even become Hokage before you do."
"It is his own fault that he lost to Konohamaru during the last exam he took because he's a dummy." Shikamaru reminded them. Everyone in the lounge laughed at the new Jounin's comment.
"It's not my fault. I only wanted Konohamaru to win." the blond explained but sure enough, no one believed him, especially his former henchman.
"Come on boss, we all know that's a lie. You lost because you weren't listening to Temari that's why you're stuck as a lowly Genin while I got to become a Chūnin." said Konohamaru.
"Oh just beat it Konohamaru. And by the way, I thought Hinata, Suigetsu and Juugo also came. Where are they anyway?" the blond asked, looking around the lounge of the hotel.
"Hinata's with Sakura, taking a look around the village while Suigetsu and Juugo came to see Karin and Sasuke. I think they're in Karin's room." Shikamaru answered for them.
Kiba walked towards Naruto and whispered something to his ears. Blue eyes widened and Naruto headed for the exit of the hotel, Kiba following him.
"Hey boss, where are you going?" Konohamaru called out.
"Oh, sorry for cutting our time short but I have things to talk about with Kiba so just wait for me to get back Konohamaru." Naruto requested.
"Whhaatt!? I came all the way here and you're not even going to attend to me first? What's so important to talk about with Kiba anyway? I don't even see you two talking in the village." Konohamaru whined.
"Don't worry Konohamaru. I promise I'll show you a cool new jutsu I've learned when I come back."
"Cool. Will you teach it to me then?" Konohamaru asked with sheer excitement.
"If you can manage, then yes." Naruto assured.
"Oh yeah! See you later then boss." And with that, Konohamaru let the blond and brunet go and have their talk.
...
"Out with it Kiba. I can't believe you would use that to blackmail me." Naruto sighed. They've reached a forest were no one would overhear them so Naruto decided to get on with the issue. What was so important to talk about anyway that Kiba has to threaten him with telling the secret Naruto and Sasuke shared? This must really be important or else he'd make Kiba his sparring partner right now, just so that his time was not wasted. And also, he could use a spar with another shinobi right now. His clones aren't really good for practicing with.
"Ok. Naruto, you're still 'involved' with Sasuke right?" Kiba asked, straight to his point..
A blush crept up on Naruto's face. Damn that Kiba for not minding his own business during their trip to the bathhouse. "Uhm… yeah. Why do you ask?" he said in a low, shy voice.
"Then that's good. I actually came here to ask a favor from you?" Kiba said.
"A favor? What is it?" he asked curiously, one eyebrow raised.
"You should know Naruto that I've liked Hinata for a very long time now. And you do know that you're the one Hinata likes, right?"
Naruto remembered the time Hinata confessed her feelings for him during their battle with Pain. With the memory coming back, he also remembered that he didn't give his response to Hinata. He had acted like it never happened. In reality he didn't give much thought to it so it slipped his mind, but now Kiba has brought it back.
"Yeah, I know. But I don't like her in anyway more than a friend should."
"Then if that's the case, please Naruto. Can you tell Hinata your reply to her confession?" Kiba begged him. "She came to ask me for advice and told me about it last month and she said she'd want to wait for your reply. She also wanted to remind you about her feelings for you but she just couldn't muster up the courage to tell you again for the second time. I didn't know what I should tell her. I really like her a lot and most of the time I just wish she would get over her feelings for you but I know it wouldn't make her happy if I somehow tell her to do just that. I just care about her Naruto. Really I do. Just give her long awaited reply. You said that you can't return her feelings and I know this is going to hurt her a lot but I don't want her to hold on to false hopes. She deserves to be happy and she can't be if you can't return her feelings for you. I know I can give it to her, but as long as she hopes that there's a chance you two could still be together, then I can't then. I know that it's hard to do. No one wants to break someone else's heart but you have to do this because it would only make it harder for her in the long run."
"Kiba, I uh... I don't think I can do it." Naruto admitted. What should he tell her? Something like, Hinata I'm sorry but I couldn't return your feelings because I've already found someone I love and it's Sasuke. That wouldn't work.
"You have to Naruto. For me and also for Hinata." Kiba pleaded.
"I don't know how to say it." Naruto reasoned. He wanted to just avoid this. He didn't know what he should do. And what does he even now Kiba that he should do this for him?
"You have to." Kiba insisted.
Naruto sat on the ground under a tree and leaned on it. This was too sudden and it came out of nowhere. He needed time to think about this and Kiba's pressuring him to do something so difficult. He looked at the clouds and suddenly found them interesting. He didn't want to think about what Kiba said. With it he realized why Shikamaru liked to watch the clouds as they drift across the sky. It was peaceful and it gets your mind of off things you don't want to think about. Yeah he should have just watched them and ignore the brunet who was watching him, waiting for his answer. But he couldn't concentrate. His thought returned to Hinata and what he should do. And so he thought hard and after 20 minutes in silence, he finally made his decision.
"I'll do it Kiba. I'll tell her." he said to the brunet, who was watching him the whole time.
"Thank you Naruto." the brunet said.
"We should return to the hotel."
"Yeah." Kiba agreed.
"We're here."
"Huh?"
...
"Hey, how was training? Think you can beat me already?" Sasuke greeted him as Naruto entered their room.
"You have no chance against me Sasuke. So, how's your old team?"
"Nothing new. They came to watch the final rounds. They were getting bored staying in the village and not much missions are being given lately."
"At least that means it's becoming more peaceful now that there are fewer needs to hire us ninjas. But that also means there will be fewer income for the village, but peace is more valuable."
"Wise words, for a future Hokage." the raven said, not in a teasing way. He really meant it.
"Thanks."
"Hey, come here." he motioned to the bed and Naruto sat next to him. "You know, I was thinking about the final rounds and I came up with an idea to what we should do?"
"Do about what?" the blond asked, no idea of what Sasuke could be talking about.
"Deciding who will win?" Sasuke said, as if it was obvious.
"What do you mean?"
"If it was a real fight between the two of us, no one will give up and I don't think we could just knock each other out without doing damage to each other that can be healed by just some ordinary medical jutsu. I don't want us to hurt each other to that extent."
"So you want our fight to be scripted? No, I don't want that Sasuke. You're the one I've always wanted to fight the most and to win against you is one of my unfulfilled dreams. And I want to show the world what I can do, to show them my strength so that one day, they'll accept me as Hokage. That they can put their trust in me because they know I can protect them."
"Just listen to me first before you start rambling. To tell you the truth, winning or losing against you doesn't matter to me. I'll fight you as a real opponent. In reality, I won't give up from a match against you but if you do something in the match that makes me feel that you've won, I'll give the win to you. I'll forfeit."
"What? But why would you do that? If Sasuke Uchiha is one thing, then he's not a quitter. Are you really Sasuke? Or maybe you're a transformation." Naruto asked, not believing he was asking this from Sasuke a second time. The first time was during their first encounter with Orochimaru.
"I'm not a transformation dobe. I just want to have a good match with you and show our skills. It's not like you have to win in order to become Chūnin you know. What you need to do is to show that you have the skills and the intelligence to become a team leader. And I assure you that I won't hold back when I fight you. I'll give it my best just as you would, but unlike the last time, I won't do anything to you that will leave you severely injured."
"As if you could do something like that to me."
'I won't be able to do something like that to you.' Sasuke thought to himself.
"Ok, just forget about what I said. Just make sure it's you and me at the final match. It will be quite a shame if you got beat by one of these Genins. There's no Kurama to help you this time." the raven teased.
"You know I did defeat Pain with only my mastery of ninjutsu, not his chakra." Naruto reminded him.
"I guess you did. Well, I'm tired and I want to sleep. That loudmouth Suigetsu woke me up about an hour ago. Care to join me?" he said hopingly.
"I would love to Sasuke, but we haven't even eaten breakfast yet and it's already 8 AM and my stomach's grumbling." And indeed it grumbled at the same time Naruto said it. "Hear that?"
"It is quite loud. You just go on ahead. I still want to sleep." the raven said then yawned and let his head rest back on the pillow.
"Suite yourself." Naruto said and then he left the room to go downstairs to the hotel's dining hall.
...
Naruto went inside the dining hall and was glad to find that the crowd has already thinned out and no one was in line to get their food at the buffet style serving the hotel had. He giggled like a child when he saw that there was a table that had the ingredients for ramen, and you can choose which to add. You can make your own customized ramen. After choosing his favorite condiments, naruto and menma included, he placed them in a bowl and poured boiling hot miso soup to go with it. Happy with his breakfast, he took a seat on a table near a window and started to chow down on his favorite meal.
"Itadakimasu!"
It was only 2 minutes since he started and about 75% of the ramen has already went down his stomach. But that's not surprising really, what was surprising is that out of nowhere, Hinata called out to him which immediately caught his attention. She was looking down at him, holding a plate with some bread on it.
"Uhm, may I sit with you Naruto?" she asked quietly.
Is this real? Is Hinata really here in front of him and asking if she could sit with him? That was absurd, more like impossible. Since when did Hinata have the courage to go to him in her own will?
"Su-sure. No problem." He stood up and pulled the opposite chair out of the table so that Hinata can sit down. Wait, since when did he do this stuff? Were they on a date or something? He sat down too but he couldn't resume on eating his ramen. His thoughts were preoccupied with too many things right now.
"You don't mind me sitting with you, right? It's just I was tired when we arrived so I slept for a few hours before deciding to eat breakfast" she asked, snapping Naruto out of his musing.
"Of course I don't mind. It's good to have company. And it's nice seeing you again Hinata especially since you and the others came all this way just to watch me, Sasuke and Karin in the final exams."
"We had a month off thanks to Lady Hokage. And I wouldn't want to miss your upcoming epic battles for anything."
"Thanks." the blond said, now continuing on finishing his ramen. "What are those you are eating anyway?"
"They're cinnamon rolls. They're my favorite so that even when I've just enter the dining hall, I can already smell them." She cut the roll with her knife and using her fork she bit down on the bread.
'Is this really Hinata? But how? She isn't even stuttering anymore just like last time. But Kiba said she still likes me. Maybe she just got a little more confident. You are so gonna treat me for a ton of ramen for this Kiba.' the blond thought.
"So uhm, I was wondering, can we take a walk outside once we're finished? I have something to talk to you about." he asked innocently, not giving any hidden motive.
Hinata blushed deeply and she looked towards her side. Guess even with the confidence she showed just a while ago, hearing something like that from Naruto still made her flustered.
"Oh, uhm… sure. I'd like that. So… what is it you want to talk about?" she finally said after regaining herself.
'Gee. I just told her I want to take a walk with her and she's red already. How am I going to handle this? I should have asked Sasuke for advice. He's very experienced when it comes to letting down girls. Oh wait, wrong, that was not a good idea. He's indifferent to them.'
"I'll tell you once we get to the park."
"Ok."
...
"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Hinata asked once they've sat on a bench in the park. Despite it being 9 AM in the morning, there were very few people who were there. 3 kids were playing ninja on their right, and there was a couple from across the park feeding some swans that were on the small creek under the bridge they were at. How sappy what those two were doing and it didn't help but made Naruto think that from people who didn't know Naruto and Hinata, they too will think he and she were on a date. And that was not something he thought about.
'Okay Naruto, time to tell her. This is for her own good. You don't want to hurt her but you also can't have her wait for something that's she's not going to get. Damn it, I don't know what to say.' he struggled with his thoughts.
"Uhm, Naruto?" she called out to him. Naruto was so busy with his thought that he forgot that he was supposed to answer Hinata's question earlier.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something."
"It's okay. I was just worried because you look so nervous." Position reverse, that's what happened. Naruto was the one fidgeting in his seat for words.
'Here it goes.' He took one deep breath.
"Do you remember what you said to me during our fight with Pain?" he asked, calmly. Hinata blushed, clearly remembering her confession to Naruto.
"Yes I do."
"Does that hold true until this day?"
"Yes it does."
"I see."
Hinata did not know what to think of it. Why did Naruto bring that up now? He hadn't said anything about it before. Even she thought that Naruto might not have heard her say it, confess her feelings for him. What would Naruto say? This was what she waiting for more than a year. Will he return her feelings or not?
Only silence followed. Neither anyone of them knew what to say next. Naruto was searching for the right words while Hinata was just shocked about this and feared that her latter thought was what Naruto was going to do.
"I'm happy to hear about how you feel for me. I like you Hinata… but no more than a friend." he finally managed to let out. He looked at Hinata, waiting for a reaction from the girl. None came but he did notice that a trickle of tear was starting to form in her eyes. "I'm sorry if my reply's a year late. But I already love someone else." Did he have to say that too? The world is cruel.
"It's… okay. I understand." Hinata said weakly after hearing Naruto's words. Yes, she really did understand. She knew from heart that her feelings would always be one-sided. She knew but she wouldn't believe. But now that she heard it herself, it was like she was freed from it. She can now start moving on, even though it hurts so much. She couldn't control the tears from her eyes.
"Hinata please don't cry." the blond said, in a bit of panic. Did he just make her cry? Yes he did, but it was for a good reason. No one could blame him. He wrapped his arms around Hinata's back, tapping his right hand slightly to calm her down. He really didn't know what to do? He didn't even know if his actions would have helped the situation or just make it worse. Hinata buried herself in Naruto's chest and continue to cry while Naruto kept comforting her.
"You must think I'm so childish, crying because my feelings aren't returned." she sniffed, managing to say the words as she pulled from Naruto's embrace.
"No I don't. It's okay to cry."
"I've loved you for so long Naruto. Yet, even though I knew that you don't feel the same for me, I still love you. Maybe it's my fault because I didn't tell it sooner but maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. And now that I've heard the answer to the question that I've been asking myself for a long time, I can finally move on. But even so, you should know that I'll still love you."
"Thank you Hinata, for understanding."
"So who is this girl that you love? I should be jealous of her but I'm not. I'm happy as long as you're happy so no matter who you choose, I'll support you. We're still friends, right?" she asked.
"Of course we are." he assured.
"I'm glad to hear. So may I know who this girl that you love is? Is it still Sakura? I know it's not my business asking you these things but, I want to know."
"Uhm… can I just tell you when I'm ready?" How could he say that the person he loved was not a girl, and more than that, it was Sasuke? He can't say it now.
"Okay."
"We should go back to the hotel. They might be looking for us since we disappeared without telling anyone where we were going."
"Alright."
"Hold my hand." he said to her. She didn't know why he asked but she just complied and held Naruto's right hand. She was looking at Naruto but when she turned her face away she now saw that they were already in the hotel.
"What did you do? Why are we in the hotel all of a sudden?"
"It a new jutsu I've learned. The same one my dad was best known for."
"You've mastered the Fourth Hokage's teleportation jutsu?"
"I wouldn't say mastered, but I do know how to use it." he grinned.
"Wow! You could be called the second Yellow Flash of the Leaf if they see you now, especially when you become the Sixth or Seventh Hokage."
"Thanks Hinata." he chuckled, his hand on his head.
"I'm going to go find Kiba. I told him I'll just be eating breakfast and he might worry if I came back too late in our room." she said, before heading towards the elevator.
"Ok." 'You better make sure you treat her well Kiba or else I'm going to kick your ass for this favor.' he thought. Hinata doesn't need to know that it was Kiba who requested Naruto to tell her his reply. It was not necessary. Now it's up to Kiba to what he would do to gain Hinata's heart. Naruto smiled as to what he expected will happen next. But no more about Kiba and Hinata for now. It was time for Naruto and Sasuke again.
A/N: I am so, so, so sorry about this very, very, very late chapter. It has been two months since the last update but I'm really so busy with my schoolwork. And I started to write two other stories, Fullmetal Alchemist X Naruto (no yaoi, mostly adventure but possible pairings), and Battle for Naruto (KibaNaru and SasuNaru). That's why I have to take turns in writing them. Next I will write Chapter 4 of FMA X Naruto and after that Chapter 4 of BFN, before I write Chapter 14 of TWC. But I promise I'll try to update every two weeks once summer vacation starts and it will be around April. That will give me a lot amount of time to write and finally wrap up TWC before it reaches one year in June.
Please don't hate me about the Naruto and Hinata scene. I just don't really know how to do things like that. For the NaruHina lovers, I'm really sorry. I also like NaruHina pairings but it can't happen in this story. And to those wondering why there is some slight NaruKarin in the Chapter 10: Secret Revealed, it's because I also like that pairing. They're like Minato and Kushina. Though there are very few stories that used a NaruKarin pairing which disappoints me. It's really hard for me to write straight pairing because I've never had a girlfriend and I don't really know how a girl acts or speak because I'm a guy. And more especially what they feel during citric scenes which makes it even harder to write.
Also I recommend reading the stories of these authors:
Jelp - NaruSasu
FastForward – NaruSasu, she likes angst and killings. Sadly, lemons are not too graphic. But there are some with not much bloodshed like the story 'Naruto' which I would say made me cry. And humor like Haunted House on the Hill.
stealth gato – NaruSasu, especially Roommates and its sequel Roommates II, and also fics where Naruto is older and Sasuke is young and it's Sasuke who likes Naruto.
NaruSasuNaruLover – obviously NaruSasu
living paradox - NaruKiba
Naughty Tech - NaruKiba
Tanuki's Rejects - NaruSasu
Tanuki Mara - NaruSasu
gretty23 – NaruKiba
Sodapops – NaruKiba
Fishing for a Smile by Eye of Sincerity – NaruKiba
Guide to the Wild Side by darkalbino – NaruSasu
Battle for Dominance by Charlie911 and its sequel Meeting a Stanger - NaruSasu
I Think I Better Leave You Right Now by purrfectly679 – NaruSasu
No Choice by keikopanda102 – NaruSasu
My Fragile Love by darkloverkitsune - ItaDei
Pairings are not ordered so they're interchangeable
When I write for example NaruSasu or NaruKiba, it means most of the author's stories are those pairings.
Straight Pairings
'The Hebi Geek and the Foxy Idiot' was the NaruKarin I've read.
Love Me by Fangie-chan for KibaHina fans
I Don't Know by Jelp, and A Single Call by hinatasgreatestfan for NaruHina fans
Finally the computer is repaired and I've already started writing again. I will update Battle for Naruto at April 21, 2014 any hour at that day. And if possible, also FMA X Naruto. For Together We Can, maybe by May. And next week, I'll upload a new story one-shot for Naruto. Read that too and review.
