Wormkaizer - Thanks for all your support for this story. It really is appreciated.

Ookima - Thank you so much for all your reviews, and stuff. I really do appreciate what you reviewers do.

Hikaru9 - lol. When I read your review, I started laughing. I started this fic during March Break, because I was bored. I never though it would go this far, or get so many reviews. Thank you, I really mean it.

S-Wanderer999 - I would like to thank you for all your reviews and for all the wonderful ideas you have put into my head for this story. Without your reviews then this story would be.... not as good as people think it is now.

Naeko kono - Thank you. I really don't know what you people think is good about this story. Seriously. Thanks for your review and for your encouragement. Without reviewers this story wouldn't be as it is now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gone chapter 6 - stupid villagers

Hinata POV

I woke up really early and excited to start training since I wanted to become stronger for Naruto. I

guess I was a little early. Only 3 and a half-hours early. That minimized my excitement a lot. Kiba,

Akamaru and Shino came 3 hours and 20 minutes later. With only ten minutes to spare. They were

yawning, come on it's 9. You should be awake by then. I decided to wake them up. "Wake up," I

yelled. "We're here to train not to sleep." "Whoa, are you really Hinata. Because you sorta sounded

like Ino there." Now I was a little embarrassed. I looked down blushing. "Sorry," I mumbled. "It's okay

Hinata," Kiba replied to me. I looked at Shino, he was just standing there staring at me. Kurenai -sensei

was walking up to our training section. "Guys I have some bad news." "What!" I said. I don't like bad

news. "The villagers are going crazy, because they just found that Naruto lives. So they are

going crazy." "Why does that affect us, sensei." "Because our Hokage asked all the genins,

chuunins, and jounins that aren't on a mission to help deal with the villagers." " Oh so this is like our

mission right, Kurenai-sensei?" "I guess you could say that, Hinata." "I have a question sensei." "Go on

Kiba." "Why would the villagers want to go after Naruto any ways? Why would they be mad that he is

alive?" "Okay guys, sit down this might take a while. Your parents always told you to stay away from

Naruto right. They didn't tell you that for no reason though. You have all heard of the nine-tails demon,

right." "Yeah of course we have," all of us answered together. "Well, the fourth needed to get rid of it,

and the nine-tails was sealed inside of Naruto. That is why your parents told you to stay away from

Naruto." We all sat there thinking about it for a minute. "Your wrong sensei," I suddenly said. "Naruto

is still Uzumaki Naruto, he just happens to be misfortunate and have a demon in him, but he is still

Naruto." Kurenai-sensei looked at me strangely, in fact I think everyone else as staring at me as well.

"You're right Hinata, but the villagers don't see that part of him." Kurenai-sensei smiled at me. "Come

on guys we have a mission to do." I called to everyone. Akamaru barked in agreement. Shino just

walked silently behind us. "Kiba," I called. "Would you ... would you train with me when we're done

with this?" "Sure Hinata, but you can't forget about Akamaru." "Sorry Akamaru," I said humbly.

"Thanks Kiba, Akamaru." "Anytime Hinata."

Sasuke POV

"Where have you all been. These people are going crazy." "It doesn't look like it Sasuke," Kurenai-

sensei said to him. I did the other impossible. I think I blushed. Stupid people getting

stupid reactions out of me. "That's because we got most of them under control before you got here." I

glared at them to hide my embarrassment. "Sorry we're late Sasuke," Kurenai-sensei joked. "Now can

you tell me where everyone else is." "Yeah there down there somewhere." "That really helps me

Sasuke, you three stay here with him unless I call for you." 'Okay sensei." "Whatever Kurenai-sensei."

"Sure." They all answered at the same time saying different answers. "How long have you been here for

Sasuke-kun?" Hinata asked me "Don't know." "Hinata do you want to train now?" Kiba asked her.

She looked around at me and Shino and looked a little embarrassed. "Umm," she said. "It's okay I'm

leaving," I said, "Kakashi-sensei didn't say that I had to stay here." What is so embarrassing about

training. "Okay then Kiba. Now is a great time to train." I left. hmm I think I'll go see Naruto.

"Naruto you here." He looked like he had been crying. "You okay Naruto." I asked concerned. "Yeah,

yeah I'm fine." He said. Fine my ass. "Naruto it's okay tell me what's wrong." "No. nothing is wrong

Sasuke. Why would you think something is wrong." "Naruto you've been crying you don't have to hide

anymore. You never did have to before either. Please don't try to hide behind your mask. We are here

for you Naruto. Let us help you." With that said. He just burst into tears. You have to remember that

this was only the second time that I had done this so I was still inexperienced. I let him cry on my

shoulder and remembered from Hinata to pat his back. If someone walked in, they would have seen a

weird picture. Me, Uchiha Sasuke the unfeeling, patting the Uzumaki Naruto, the cheerful one, who was

crying on my, Uchiha Sasuke the cold one, shoulder. Once Naruto was all cried out, I asked him "

Now what happened to make you cry that much?" "I don't know, I just felt like doing that. I have

wanted to do that since I was a child." "You are a child, baka." I said jokingly. YES I got a smile out of

him. *knock knock* "Come in," Naruto said. There was Hinata with some flowers. "These are for you

Naruto-kun." She took a seat on Naruto's other side. "You, Kiba and Akamaru finished training?" I

asked her. "Yep," was all she replied with. "Sasuke ... could you leave for a second. I ......I would like

to speak with Naruto-kun alone for a second." Did she just tell me to leave. Is this really Hinata speaking.

Hinata POV

Did I just really ask Sasuke to leave. Oh well this is my only chance. "Naruto-kun." "Yes Hinata." "I ...

Well I......I really like you." Naruto didn't talk for a long time. I guess that meant refusal. I just mumbled

something like 'Oh sorry for wasting your time Naruto.' Just when I was about to go out the door he

called me back. "Sorry Hinata-chan, I was just a little shocked. I..... I like you to Hinata-chan." I felt

like I was on cloud seven. "Maybe when you're better we can go get some food sometime eh Naruto."

"Sure Hinata sure." Yeah he even smiled at me. YES. I did it. "Naruto one more thing, I... I though you

only liked Sakura." "I did, but a couple months after she passed away I got over her, and realized I only

ever liked her as a friend. So I was really just wasting my time when I could have been with you." I

blushed obviously, who wouldn't. "Thank you Naruto-kun" I said clearly. Yes we were finally together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sentimental freaks they are. They are finally together. But happiness is not something Naruto has for a long time though is it. Thank you for all your reviews. Sorry For Being your Troubles.
