Minato sat there. Alone.

Upone reading the first paragraph he sent the four shinobi out of the office.

He had the scroll in front of him.

Obito Uchiha.

His old student and wanna be hokage.

Obito Uchiha.

The one who hated Kakashi and loved Rin.

Obito Uchiha.

The one who challenged Kakashi and always tried to impress Rin.

Obito Uchiha.

The one who tried to destroy the leaf village, his comrads, and the world, because he loved Rin.

...

Minato couldn't believe that all this had happened to him. It made it much easier to understand why Obito acted the way he did in the past.

And it definately explained why he wanted to accomplish such a crude sick goal.

He was lonely.

Inside he was dying.

He wanted to be loved,

He wanted to be loved by Rin...

He just wanted Rin...


Shikamaru, Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura walked out of the building.

They were still absorbing everything they had just come to know.

The truth, written by Obito himself.

Could they trust the information?

Was the 'source' reliable?

Of course not, what kind of question is that!

How the hell could all this shit be happening in the village and no one not even the third or fourth not catch a single thing out of the ordinary!

Or did they know and not say anything in order not to cause commotion?

UGH!

Shikamaru suck his teeth and sighed heavily.

Maybe he was thinking too much?

There he goes again!

But...these were all possibilities.

He looked up to the sky wishing deeply that he had his long time dead sensei to help him out on this one, no matter how bad a shogi partner he was.

'What would you do Asuma-sensei?'

His thoughts were cut off by Naruto asking Hinata to ramen.

"Hinata-chan! Lets go to Ichiraku's, my treat!" He shouted happily.

Hinata blushed.

"A-Are you sure?" She asked her voice low.

He put his thumbs up in a good guy pose "Yea! Come one it'll be fun!" He yanked her arm and dragged her along, leaving Shikamaru and Sakura behind.

Shikamaru sighed and walked off and Sakura just stood there.

'He asked her and not me?' She thought.


Naruto had Hinata seated next to him and was asking her what she wanted to eat.

Teuchi came from out back with an unusually big grin "Why if it isn't our savior!" He greeted making Naruto flush.

"And who's the young lady you got there" Ayame came seemingly out of no where and nudged Naruto on the side with a mischiveous smirk on her face.

Now Naruto and Hinata both blushed.

"Uh-Um-Uh-"

"Well-Errr-Ya-See-Errr"

Hinata and Naruto both stuttered looking for the right words.

"Uh, We're, Uh, Just...Friends-Yeah Just friends" finished Naruto quickly right after Hinata.

Ayame deviously smiled "Oh I see. If you say so I guess..." She glided behind the counter giving Naruto the 'Mmmhhmmm' look.

Naruto flushed and stood up "Now wait a minute, Ayame nee-san! I'm not sure how Hinata feels being seen and thought of in public like that with me!" He blurted out.

Hinata tensed up. He thought he wasn't good enough for her!? Hinata got real defensive real quick.

"N-Now just hold on a second, Naruto-kun! You never asked me how I would feel about it so don't think so negatively about it!" She said back loudly (for Hinata).

Ayame looked at them talking and knew the conversation was no longer with her.

Naruto eyed Hinata carefully.

"Alright then" he said as he got close to her face, their noses just inches apart "How do you feel about it then?"

She flushed.

"I...wouldn't hate it..I would actually more than like it..." She mumbled.

Naruto leaned closer to her so that his lips were at her ear.

"Hinata-chan" he whispered huskily "I can't hear you if you speak so low with that cute mouth of yours."

Hinata was blushing like mad, she could feel his warm soft breath as he stayed by her ear.

"Hinata-chan" He whispered again.

She shivered at the way her name sounded on his lips that way.

He leaned away slowly and looked at her.

Hinata just stared at him and he stared right back.

They leaned in close and were interrupted with a "Get a room you two!" From Teuchi.

They quickly got away from eachother and were blushing deeply.

'What the hell?' Thought Naruto

'What just happened?' Thought Hinata still blushing like mad.

'Oh no! I probabaly ruined the little friendship we had! I'm so stupid stupid!' Hinata scolded herself.

'I was about to kiss Hinata-chan?' Naruto smiled warmly to himself. He didn't mind though he thought now she probably hated him.

They disregarded the moment and tried to eat their ramen in peace.

After all they need to enjoy what they have while they have it right.

Peace wouldn't last forever especially not in Konoha.


At home Naruto was preparing for bed.

He had walked Hinata home and they ended up making new conversation, completely forgetting about the kiss that almost happened.

But now the thought came back.

Naruto didn't know what had come over him.

All he knew was that he had the feeling he should be leaning forward.

He remembers looking at those soft pink lips. They were so inviting.

He was willing to take that invitation had it not been for Teuchi-san.

He had to admit deep down he was disappointed that Teuchi-san had stopped him from kissing her.

But never in a million years would he tell anyone that...unless, of course, Hinata-chan asked.


Hope you liked it!
