Hinata had been extremely quiet since she had revealed her past to Naruto, which was not a shock to the youngest of the Uzumaki-Namikazi siblings. As the minutes ticked by, Naruto decided that he was going to make the same offer that he was once given though first he had to pay for the meal that they just had.
This only took a few moments and soon Naruto was back at the table. "Alright Hinata. I want to thank you as well as Setomi for sharing this meal with me as well as for you sharing your story with me." Naruto spoke out to the two outcast Hyuuga's though this was not where his words stopped. "I know that I have taken up much of your time today but there is something else that I want to show you and when we get there I would like to make you an offer that would change both yours and Setomi's life."
Like before Naruto assumed that Hinata would become uncomfortable with this request and was pleasantly surprised when she immediately started to speak. "Okay Naruto. I have had a good day so far, so I will go with you." Hinata replied as she pushed herself away from their former lunch table.
From the way that Hinata was moving, Naruto could that she was tired which caused Naruto to reach over and pick Setomi up. "You don't have to do that Naruto, I can hold my own son." Hinata spoke out as she watched her son be grasped within Naruto's arms.
Naruto figured that this would have been Hinata's reaction since she has had to do everything on her own. "Hinata, it is alright to have help once in awhile." Naruto replied back as he made his way from the restaurant, still holding Setomi within his arms. Not wanting her son to get to far away from her, Hinata hurried to catch up with Naruto.
"Are you telling me that the incident between our sons and Sasuke was because he was trying to force himself on Kumi?" Minato questioned and though at first the blond Hokage was bewildered from what he heard, by the time that he had finished his words he was downright fuming.
Though before he said anything else, Minato waited for his wife to respond back to him though the only thing he got from Kushina was a nod. Knowing that this would be the only response that he received, Minato decided to continue. "Well my love, then it looks like we will have to ensure that this village of ours is purged of those who would allow such things to happen within it...though we will have to ensure that we only have those we explicitly trust partake in this endeavor." Minato spoke out. As Minato came to the end of his words, he saw a smile form on Kushina's face.
"I know of just the Ninja." Kushina replied before making an abrupt turn which was followed by the crimson haired Ninja leaving her husbands office. Though Minato had an idea of the Ninja that his wife was talking about, he would have still liked to have had Kushina actually give him the name of said Ninja but knowing that this wasn't going to happen until she was ready; Minato decided to start scouring his files in hopes of finding potential traitors.
Naruto, Hinata as well as Setomi who happened to be sleeping within Naruto's arms all stood in front of a shimmering portal that Naruto had created within his closet. From the bewildered look that Naruto saw on Hinata's face he could tell that this was not what she was expecting him to show her.
"Wait...you can't seriously want to take us through whatever the hell that is?" Hinata stammered out as she took a slight step backwards.
Upon hearing Hinata's words as well as her reaction to the portal, Naruto started to lose himself in his laughter. This laughter went on for a few minutes and by the time Naruto was able to regain control of himself he saw that Setomi had woken up and was staring at him with a look of curiosity plastered on his face. Though Setomi wasn't the only that was staring at him, which he soon found out when he turned to look towards Hinata and saw that she was glaring daggers at him and though Naruto could tell that she was angry by his reaction he could also see pain hiding behind Hinata's eyes.
"If looks could kill, then I would most definitely not be breathing any longer..." Naruto concluded though he was quick to shake the thought off so they could get back to the reason that Naruto had brought them all here in the first place. "I am sorry Hinata, I didn't mean anything by laughing." Naruto hurriedly spoke out in hopes of making the former Hyuga heir feel better and as he came to the end of these words he saw the look fade from Hinata's eyes. Seeing this as a way to continue with everything else that he needed to explain, Naruto quickly dove in. "Before you ask what is beyond this gate, I am just going to give you this information. As everyone remembers I tried to end my life three years ago though what most people don't know is that during that time, my body was the only thing that was in a coma. While my body slept my soul was sent to another realm which is known as Krystal which is where I gained these crystals that are embedded into my skin."
Once Naruto had finished his long winded explanation, he expected Hinata to give something in recognition of what he just said. Though the only thing that Naruto received was a nod which he took for her agreeing to go with him and as such Naruto was soon grabbing Hinata by the hand and pulling her through the shimmering portal that stood before them.
