- Damn this wild young heart CH:14-
"UZUMAKI NARUTO" Tsunade´s voice sounded strict and severe.
The blond was sitting in the middle of a huge room. In front of him were Konoha´s elders sitting next to a large table, between the two of them Tsunade walked nervously.
The Hokage looked at the floor and listened what she said.
"We have heard your explanations but they don´t seem to be enough to stop the political implications that your reckless behavior provoked" she said balling her fist.
He didn´t answer.
"You had put too much in risk: your village, Konoha´s nijas, civilians, diplomatic relationships and even your title as a Hokage" she raised her voice trying to call his attention but it was useless the boy didn´t seem to be affected with her speech.
She turned around and looked at the elders "However, we could not forget your accomplishments as a Konoha Hokage" she looked at him from the corner of her eye "We have decided to respect your position as long as you guarantee that our relationships with Suna are going to remain as strong as before this episode" She turned around violently
Naruto stood up, bowed quickly and turned around to go.
"NARUTO!" Tsunade yelled at him.
He looked at her. His eyes looked empty and sad. The older woman froze and he continued his exit in silence.
llllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll
Inuzuka Kiba knocked the door of an apartment.
"Who is it" Shikamaru opened the door.
"Hey!" Greeted him cheerfully "I need to see Gaara"
"He is not here" The Nara answered coldly.
"Yeah right! Come on!. It´s important… for him" he insisted.
"Tsss" Shikamaru opened the door. He could hide him from several types of ninjas but not from an Inuzuka´s nose.
Kiba entered the apartment and greeted a surprised Temari.
"Wha?" The blond asked her boyfriend
"He is behind the second door on the left" He pointed and looked at Temari "Troublesome" he sighed.
The short haired boy moved to where he pointed. When he opened the door he found Gaara sitting on a chair in deep thinking.
"Hi!" Kiba entered in.
"Inu!" He said surprised.
"Big mess, ha?" He moved closer.
The red head looked down. "I just… I didn´t want to end it like this"
"I know" He sat on the bed in front of him.
"I would never hurt her!" He looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"I know!"
"I´ve heard that you send a letter to Konoha´s elders asking for forgiveness"
Gaara nodded "I don´t want to turn this into a war… I never did. I just wanted to talk to her" he looked down again. "If she told me that she was in love with Naruto I would have gone"
Kiba sighed. "I want to help you"
Gaara looked at him really surprised. "What? Why?"
The brunette scratched the back of his head "Because it´s such a big chaos! And I´m her friend"
"Inu" He said moved.
"It´s Kiba" he grinned.
"Thanks Kiba-san" He bowed.
llllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll
"Hina-chan, how is she?" Tenten asked Hinata who was sitting next to Hanabi´s bed. She had been in the hospital for the whole morning.
"She is stable, just like yesterday"
Tenten moved closer the unconscious Hyuuga and brushed her bangs away her face. "The baby?"
"Sakura says it´s perfect"
The brunette looked at Hinata "Don´t worry Hina-chan. She is going to wake up. She is just running away for a couple of days" she smirked.
Hinata sighed "I envy her"
Tenten looked at her surprised.
"I don´t want to deal with any of this" she looked down.
"Hey! You are the leader! What are we going to do without you!"
"Tss… You are a better leader than me, you can handle my father. You are not loosing hope and you are encouraging everybody"
Tenten held her hand. "Me? No way! I just got mad at your father. You were the one who was keeping everyone together"
She looked at Hanabi "And look how we ended"
"Don´t say that!" She nagged Hinata.
The Hyuuga leader looked down.
"Hinata, why don´t you go to your house and take a shower. Rest a little. I´ll stay here"
Hinata sighed and stood up "thanks" She went out of the room.
llllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll
"No kissing in the halls children" Sakura said to Neji and Tenten.
Apparently the brunette had jumped to passionate-kiss her boyfriend in the middle of the hospital. They broke the kiss at the sound of Sakura´s voice, Neji blushed madly.
"You are so envious" Tenten mocked the pinkette.
"You have no decency" Sakura glared at her.
"I´m so in love I can´t contain myself!" She hugged Neji.
The Hyuuga looked uncomfortable.
Sakura rolled her eyes and continued walking through the halls.
"Neji, I love you!" she said
"Tss… I´ll see you at dinner then!" he said coldly.
"Give me a kiss… I´m going to miss you till then!" She followed him behind.
"Tenten we ar-" but she shut him up with a kiss.
"See you later!" She waved at him and walked back to Hanbi´s room.
When she arrived at there she found Kiba standing at the door.
"INUZUKA!" She punched him on the head.
"OUCH! What´s that for!" He asked surprised while he rubbed his head.
"You suggest Neji that Hiashi followed my advise because he ´likes me´" She said furious.
Kiba chuckled.
"Kiba! He is sickly jealous and you know what he thinks of Hiashi!"
He put his arm in front of his face defending from Tenten´s punches "Hey! Neji is my friend… he asked my opinion and I told it to him!"
"Kiba! How could you think something like that!"
"Because men only eat their pride when they are trying to get into someone´s pants"
Tenten rolled her eyes "Hyuuga´s have principles"
"so?"
"Kiba! He is old… "
"So?"
"He could be my father"
"so?" He stared at her blankly.
"Arrg… I´m not going to discuss this with you! Just don´t give Neji weird ideas!"
"And you don´t give them to Hiashi!" he grinned and winked at her.
She rolled her eyes.
"Hey! I talked to him. He is coming at midnight" He said serious.
Tenten nodded concerned.
"Hi Ko, I´d like to see Hinata" Naruto talked with the Hyuuga at the gates of the compound.
The older nin looked down "She is already sleeping Hokage-sama"
Naruto´s eyes widened in surprise. It was a little early for the Hyuuga to be sleeping already. "I really need to see her" he moved forward.
"I can´t let you in" He said coldly and got in his way.
"KO!" His eyes glared at him angry. "I´m your Kage… This is an order"
"You can´t come in… It´s an order" He gulped.
"I´m your leader!" He yelled and grabbed him from the collar of his vest.
"You can´t come in, It's an order… from my leader" He looked away.
Naruto couldn´t believe his ears. He stood frozen for a couple of seconds until he let him go. He turned around and walked away.
