DOWNFALL OF THE LIGHT:
Chapter 13: Crush Depth
Disclaimer: You know the drill by now, I don't own Naruto, I don't own Warcraft3 either. I only own Rin! YAY!
AN: Hello sir, it's good to see another reader in uniform! By the looks of things, looks like I'm in one piece somehow, I'm sort of happy for that. Unfortunately, I've got some bad news. The Captain complained that I didn't know my squad too well. That was the reason why they got separated. Guess what, they're blaming me for this, so they sent me to boot camp to do some squad training and saying I need to know my squad before I lead a real platoon. Damn those bastards for setting me up for a stunt like this, I'll make sure I snipe and kill a several of those instructors for being such jackasses! Anyway, before my training exercises begin it's time for me (OpposingForce) to thank all of those who actually bothered to review. As you all know, I can't thank all of you since there are like 20-30 people I have to give my gratitude to. But for all who did press the purple review button and gave me suggestions or answers or comments, I'll reward you all with the latest chapter. The Jutsu-List is updated since there will be action in this chapter, read it when you don't understand some of the techniques, okay? Now, I'll leave you all alone for another 'hopefully decent' epic of our favorite Death Knight. Later!
Q1: Is the Rin I have the character from Maburaho?
A1: I have to thank that series for helping me make this new Rin. Mine isn't like the one in the anime. Yeah, violet hair, violet eyes but her hair isn't the same length or the personality and part of her looks too are different. Can't explain it right now but the name… Kamishiro isn't a not-known last name, I saw it in other Japanese cartoon series as well. I always liked the name Rin. Same name, but different character, okay?
Q2: Why do I like anyone to kiss people on the forehead?
A2: Trust me on this one, I really don't know. I suppose it's a sign that you care about the person by a lot, to show that they are important to you. I take it was a genuine expression and action. If this satisfy those who asked me this question, I'm glad. If it didn't, please go to your local psychiatrist for your preferred answer.
AN: What, you guys are still here? C'mon, start reading already!
"You're his sister?" asked Sakura to Rin as if it was the strangest thing in the world. Rin nodded cheerfully with a smile that nearly made the Uchiha suffer a case of nosebleed. Damn, she was beautiful, what caught the raven hair boy's attention had to be her chest. He wasn't perverted but it was hard for a guy to resist. "How come you two don't look alike at all?"
"Everyone asks us the same question," said Rin with a giggle. "The truth is we aren't biological siblings, we are really, really close friends. Naruto-ni-san isn't only my partner in all the missions we have faced, he's really my best friend I can't live without."
"Can't live without?" asked Naruto raising an eyebrow. "Isn't that a little too far?"
"Oh, I get it," said Rin pretending to be hurt. "You never missed me did you? You're mean!"
"I… I didn't mean it that way, Rin-chan!" said the Death Knight flailing his arms in a defensive position. "I'm just saying that can't live without a person is just too extreme, that's all!"
"Can you live without me?"
"I'll get over it…" Rin gave her brother an unconvinced look. "Hey, I'll be sad but life is tough… I'll have to get over it sooner or later, right?"
"You're always so honest and blunt, Naruto-ni-san. You should really start to be a little warmer."
"Naruto-kun is usually quite collected, Rin-san…" said Hinata rather low. "He doesn't show much emotions towards a lot of things… even me at times…"
"Naruto-ni-san, who's this girl to you?" asked Rin curiously.
"She's my…" Naruto tried to use the correct words.
"I'm his girlfriend." stated Hinata clearly and to the point.
"That's it," said Naruto clicking his mind. "That's the word I was looking for."
"You have a girlfriend? I am SO happy for you! How long have you been together?" She then rushed to Hinata's side. "Has ni-san been good to you? Has he been a cold and senseless guy who crushed your heart plenty of times? Has he cheated on anyone?"
"I wouldn't do anything like that to Hinata-chan, Rin-chan…" said Naruto rolling his eyes somewhat.
"Yeah, Naruto-kun wouldn't do that," added Hinata with a smile. "He's very devoted."
"I was just teasing you! I forgot, what are your names anyway?" asked Rin to the three other genins.
"I'm Hyuga Hinata, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Haruno Sakura, Naruto-ni-chan's best friend!" said the mentioned girl with a bright smile. Rin looked very surprised. She was glad her brother had another close friend by his side.
"I'm… Uchiha Sasuke…" said the Uchiha boy dully trying not to look at her. 'Don't look at her…' he thought to himself. 'Control yourself, Sasuke… it's not like you haven't seen girls before… calm down and don't look at her.' Suddenly Rin was in front of him, her face was only a foot away from his. The Uchiha nearly jumped a several feet away.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" asked the female archer teasingly with the cutest face Sasuke had seen. "Is it because I'm pretty? Oh, you're so nice!" The Kamishiro girl immediately hugged Sasuke making the boy to nearly faint. At that point, Naruto just laughed.
"Rin-chan, you gotta… you know…" Naruto calmed himself in a matter of seconds. "Anyway, you need to see sempai, right?" Rin turned back to him and nodded. "We should get going then, each second counts." With that, Hinata, Rin and Naruto leaped into the air vanishing. Sasuke and Sakura were amazed at their speed.
"Looks like it's just the two of us," said Sakura holding the Uchiha's hand. He blushed slightly.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere with you!" He chuckled a bit and took off to their own destination. Sakura knew she was winning his heart slowly, inside she was dancing with absolute joy.
=========================
Rin rushed into the guest-room immediately as she went into Naruto's apartment, the Death Knight didn't care too much though, he knew how concerned she was about her sempai. After being a good host serving his girlfriend, he quietly sat on the couch and began to read the new volume Jiraiya wrote for them. This is what he usually did when he was down or depressed, this novel series always helped him relax somehow, trying to seek out the best answers in life. He then began to read out loud and didn't even know Hinata silently went to his side.
"Life is very unfair," he began dully. "Those who have the true skill and strength may not be praised for it, on the other hand, those who live their lives with trickery always seem to get the best out of everything. It does seem unfair, true hard work not recognized. What hurts even more is the fact that no one realizes what you did. Even when your true intentions aren't for fame, it does still hurt. Remember this, glorious moments don't last forever, eventually people will seek out the real truth. Lies and trickery can only win so much but truth and honesty will always satisfy anyone. No one in the world would want to live in a society of lies, not even liars. Life again is really unfair, there's no such thing as fair game anywhere. In order to achieve things, one must utilize everything within their heart, mind, strength and soul. If you lose, try again, never give up. We all know how painful it is not to be able to help change something close to you after everything you put into it. It really does seem to be unfair isn't it, powerless to make a difference… this world does seem to be just a place of lies." At that point Naruto closed his book and gave a sigh. "The world is really unfair… the people who are closest to me always have to suffer…"
"Naruto-kun…" murmured Hinata as she wrapped her arms around his right arm. Naruto was startled for a second, he didn't realize the heiress was next to him the entire time. Hinata then placed her head on his shoulder for comfort, the Death Knight sighed and put his arm around her pulling her closer. He kissed her on the cheek which made her blush slightly. She knew he was worried the entire time. Those smiles he gave before were just a mask he placed on himself, he just didn't want his sorrow to affect anyone important to him. The real Naruto was in a deep depression, he had been like this ever since Haku arrived and showed no result in getting better. He didn't blame it on anyone, but he secretly blamed it on himself for not being good enough to help. Hinata could see how important Haku and Rin were in his life. Come to think of it, Rin was exactly like Naruto but a much more bright and cheerful. The scenario which Rin was talking to Sasuke suddenly appeared in the Hyuga girl's mind, she could remember Rin just looked at her friend and got the answers she wanted. She was just like Naruto, she may look happy but when she faced her real problem, she took off that mask and her real down self was revealed. "Naruto-kun… you want me to make you happy?" The Death Knight wasn't really paying much attention to what she just said, his eyes were suddenly lifeless and out of it. As Hinata stroked his cheek, Naruto seemed to have a bit of reaction.
"What? What did you say just now?" he asked without much energy.
"You want to make your unhappiness into pleasure?" she asked again as she pulled him closer while pushing herself to him. Naruto looked at the smile she was giving, it was filled with love and passion. The words he just heard kept ringing in his mind. Then he focussed a little more and observed her as quick as he could. Then he understood what she meant. 'I want to make you happy, take me!' thought Hinata as she was swooning over him at this point. The Death Knight didn't seem to be even showing any signs of retaliation, she was already on top of him ready to kiss him. The expression on Hinata was filled with lust, she wanted him and he wanted her too. However, Naruto kissed her on the cheek quickly and got loose from her. He simply stood up and gave her a smile.
"I'll check on Rin-chan for a bit." He stated without much emotion and walked away. Hinata showed much disappointment on her eyes, she cursed herself for not being firm enough. She missed her chance, she couldn't believe she messed him her big chance. As Naruto entered the guest room, she found Rin kneeling next to Haku silently without saying a word. She was stroking his cheek gently, Naruto saw the pain that was put into it. He kneeled next to his sister and put his hand on her shoulder trying the best to comfort her. Rin stiffened a bit at his touch and immediately hugged him. The runeblade wielder didn't pull back his emotions and just embraced her with sadness.
"Hey, what are you two being so sad about?" asked a voice suddenly. The Death Knight's eyes widened as he heard a voice that wasn't Rin's, it didn't sound like Hinata's either. Naruto was dead stiff and Rin immediately started laughing. The silver hair boy broke the hug and allowed his sister to continue to laughter. He glance up front just to see to a figure crouching at his level with a grin on his face, an evil grin to be exact.
"What the living hell…" asked the Death Knight stuttering hard on his words.
"Hey, you seem like you've just saw a ghost. C'mon, has the great Uzumaki Naruto scared to see his sempai?" teased Haku nearly laughing.
"Why you little bastard!" exclaimed Naruto as he tackled Haku with full force like a kid. Haku didn't have enough time to dodge him, he just took the hit completely and collided to the wall.
"Don't hurt Haku-sempai like that, Naruto-ni-san!" shouted Rin covering her mouth with a gasp while the silver hair genin was pounding the older Mist-nin playfully.
"This little bastard's gonna get it for setting up this little trick… Rin-chan, I haven't forgotten about you either… you will know endless torment like your beloved sempai here!" Rin pouted and gave him a sinister smile. She immediately tackled her brother as well knocking him off Haku. Secretly Haku was thankful that the boy was off him since he was still in a recovering process but he couldn't help himself from laughing at the sight displayed in front of him. Rin was on top of Naruto punching him like a little girl would, she was having a lot of fun.
"You like bullying my sempai?" questioned Rin as she beat her brother some more.
"Hey, I can't allow him trick me like that! Ow… ow… hey, you helped him set this up didn't you?" Rin nodded sticking her tongue at him. She knew she couldn't hide a thing from him but that didn't stop her from punching him. The Death Knight flashed a sinister look and put his hands on her waist. She stiffened immediately and melted to his touch. Haku knew this too well, he was quite eager at what was going to happen next. A devilish grin appeared on Naruto's face, since he was such a cold person, that grin made him look extremely dark and evil. Rin felt a blush on her face since he was touching her in a romantic way. The female archer knew too well that this wasn't much of a romance thing, he had something up his sleeve. Naruto then allowed his fingers to do the talking as he felt his sister completely relaxed, he tickled her. Rin chuckled at first but soon she was laughing again, she couldn't resist it when she was touched at the waist. Within a matter of seconds, Rin was rolling on the floor laughing defenselessly. Naruto grinned as he gave Haku a suspicious look ready to strike.
"Hey, I'm the patient here!" justified Haku. "I'm still trying to heal! You're not here to hurt me!"
"Patient my ass!" retorted Naruto grinning then recovering back to a serious one. "How long have you been awake though, Haku-sempai?"
"Around sometime after you left. I felt a little weak so I didn't say anything and fell back to sleep."
"How did Rin-chan react when she saw you?" asked Naruto curiously.
"Oh, her reaction wasn't the one I expected my little boy… she gave me my first kiss…" Rin blushed immediately and hid behind Naruto like a little puppy. "I knew Rin always wanted to do that, I knew she was too shy to actually try it." Haku then went to Rin's side and poked her in the cheek slightly causing the girl to flush deeper. Naruto simply smiled at the two.
"Rin-chan, you kissed Haku-sempai as a waking up gift?" joked the Death Knight. "I never knew you had it in you to do that."
"Be quiet, Naruto-ni-san!" exclaimed Rin blushing. "You have a girlfriend too, I'm sure you kiss her too!"
"I kiss her, yeah, but not on the lips like you did… what if sempai gets a heart attack?"
"If I get a heart attack because of that sweet kiss…" stated Haku shaking his head. "You can consider me a weakling, I don't deserve the Hunter-nin title."
"Rin-chan's a good kisser, huh?" questioned Naruto punching him in the shoulder slightly.
"Is your girlfriend a good kisser then?" asked Rin innocently batting her eyes cutely.
"I hope you're not waiting for a response…" Suddenly something sort of hit him, his eyes went to horror and shock. "Damn… holy crap… what…"
"Naruto, you okay?" asked Haku tapping the Death Knight's shoulder. "Is something wrong? Hey, say something would you? You're freaking me out!"
"I just remember what Hinata-chan just said before I came into the room… I was too down and occupied to pay attention… when Rin-chan reminded me of her… her words… Hinata-chan was trying to seduce me!"
"What did she say though?" asked the purple hair girl.
"I want to turn your unhappiness into pleasure…" answered Naruto with quite a pale face. Rin nodded with a slight bit of confusion while Haku's face turned white like the Death Knight's.
"What's so bad about that?" The Kamishiro girl was still too innocent. Haku went to Rin's side and whispered in her ear slowly and the girl nodded at the first sentences and blushed at the next couple of words. She gasped and looked at her brother who was nodding with the best straight face he could muster.
"I never realized your girlfriend is that seducing…" muttered Haku. "You scared of that?"
"Yeah, sometimes…" Rin and Haku weren't convinced. "Okay, nearly all the time! I don't show any signs that I'm afraid or even give her the impression I am getting lured. I just continue as if she isn't doing anything in particular and act everything is normal."
"Yo, she's gonna give up on you if don't show some reaction, my friend." Rin agreed with her sempai as well.
"Hey, I'm no pervert, I refuse to allow myself get seduced!" countered Naruto.
"Naruto-ni-san, you really have godly self-control… you're amazing…" admitted Rin giggling.
"Don't give me too much credit, she's getting more persistent and more seductive every time… it really is a matter of time before I fall."
"If you know that you're going to fall soon, why don't you just give her what she wants?" suggested Haku as if that was the most correct answer. "That girl wants you man, give it to her. Besides, there's nothing wrong if you love her."
"Hey, you know I ain't the most touchy person in terms of romance. I know I love her and I will take care of her even if I have to offer my life. I love her… but I don't know how to start these mushy things. I am a Death Knight for crying out loud, I shouldn't even be having someone like Hinata-chan! She really deserves someone better… I feel like the luckiest guy on this planet the day I found that she loved me, I don't want to hurt her…"
"If you do what she wants, trust me, you aren't hurting her one little bit."
"What if I don't want to do what she wants to do?" asked the Death Knight.
"I'm sure Hinata-san would do anything to catch your attention. If you feel so strongly about it, you have to tell her," said Rin. "Or you could just have amazing self-control that you can't be affected."
"I'll do that!" pointed out Naruto clearly.
"I don't know about that, even though you're have the maturity of a 20 year old… you're human after all," said the Mist-nin doubtfully. "How long can you keep this up?"
"I've survived for this long, I can continue on like this." Haku and Rin certainly didn't look convinced by his words. "Hey, I'm a half demon too, I ain't like a little human." added the Death Knight.
"Even so, anything other than a machine has a tolerance level, I'm certain that you're going to fail sooner or later, Naruto. It is something called temptation."
"I'll make sure that doesn't happen then."
"Whatever choice you make," said the violet eye girl. "I'll stick by your side and aid you."
"Thank you, Rin-chan. That reminds me, Haku-sempai, what are you going to do now after Zabuza… well is no longer with us? You can go back to the Mist-village and continue living… or you could stay here and register as a transfer shinobi. You could be a ninja serving Konoha instead and and contribute your services here. I'm sure Konoha sure would accept a Hunter-nin such as yourself. I know your past with the Mist… that's why I am making this choice. It's up to you…"
"I will accept it, after Zabuza-san is gone, I really have no more reason why I should stay there."
"Then we should get going to the Hokage's office then, we should get you as a citizen of Konoha as soon as possible. You should get dressed properly and move out." Rin and Haku nodded in agreement.
=========================
Naruto allowed the other two to be alone for a while, so he decided to exit the room. As he made his exit, he felt someone immediately attached to him. He knew this touch too well. He lowered his head just to find Hinata already found her head into his chest claiming it.
"What took you so long, Naruto-kun?" asked the Hyuga girl not letting him go as she gave him a cute look to make ensure she got her way. Naruto smiled at her only and stroked her back gently.
"Haku-sempai is up." Naruto answered with a smile across his face. Hinata looked excited.
"Really? How is he now?"
"He's feeling quite fine, just a little rusty from the one week's worth of rest."
"Is that so, what are Rin-san and Haku-san doing in there still?" asked the heiress.
"I suppose Rin-chan is just treating some injuries he still has…" he lied somewhat. "Maybe I shouldn't have tackled sempai that hard…"
"You tackled a recovering person?" The Death Knight admitted with a nod, Hinata then took his hand and held it. "What if he gets hurt again because of that?" 'It was more like a skull bash…' thought Naruto.
"Nah, I'm sure sempai is strong enough to make it out fine. Anyway, I need to get to the Hokage's office to deal with Haku-sempai's citizenship stuff. I need to register him here as a member of Konoha."
"You're leaving now… but I want…" He immediately put his finger to her mouth.
"We have to deal with the chunnin exam in 2 days, this is the best time for me to do it," justified Naruto. "Besides, I want sempai to forget about Zabuza's death soon. I know he's affected someway, I need him to get over it as soon as possible." Hinata nodded and gave him a long passionate kiss on the cheek. Naruto was surprised. "What was that for, Hina-chan?"
"You never asked me the reason for any of my kiss," said Hinata looking at him innocently.
"I know, but why did you kiss me for that long though?"
"You don't like it?" she asked as if she was hurt.
"That's not it, you know that."
"It's just you're always so kind to people no matter what kind of critical situations people have. You're willing to sacrifice your interests and wants to help them."
"It's pretty stupid isn't it?" he asked sadly. "I never seem to think about myself, only others."
"I think that is wonderful that you are so caring."
"Thanks for saying so." Naruto stated sincerely. "Well, you can't say I sacrifice any interests when I never had any. As least I don't have it much anymore. I only lived this life for one purpose, to seek vengeance on Konoha. That dream never changed until Rin-chan started to become an important person in my life."
"Rin-san is really crucial to you, isn't she?" asked Hinata still embracing him. The Death Knight nodded.
"However, I still believed that Konoha deserved to burn to the ground… what they did to me was unforgivable, I still seek that day Konoha falls. However, you made me reconsider that thought. If I destroyed Konoha, I would hurt you too… I don't want that to happen because you are also very important to me. Hina-chan, you have no idea how I adore…"
"Naruto-ni-san!" called Rin as she came out the door with Haku not knowing she interrupted their conversation. The Death Knight allowed it to slide this time however. The Mist-nin then immediately went to Hinata without a second thought and held both her hands with his in a romantic way. Hinata looked at Haku who had a very innocent smile on his face. (AN: Think Miroku from Inuyasha! I have to love that guy!)
"You must be Hyuga Hinata-chan that Naruto was talking about," said Haku still holding Hinata's hands passionately, Rin was fuming a little with a hint of jealousy. The silver hair boy only rolled his eyes boringly not showing much amusement. "I have to thank you for the hospitality you provided. In order to thank a gorgeous girl like you, would you be kind enough to allow me to take you out on a date?" Hinata blushed immediately while the Death Knight sighed in exhaustion. Rin immediately whacked her sempai on the head with a twitching fist.
"Sempai, what are you doing trying to hit on ni-san's girlfriend!" exclaimed Rin angrily.
"I'm just showing her my gratitude, what's wrong with that?" That alone resulted in another smash in the head. Naruto simply pretended nothing happened.
"Naruto-ni-san, let's get going!" commanded Rin as she dragged Haku by the back of his collar and headed to the door.
"I'll be back later, Hinata-chan," said Naruto as he kissed her on the cheek. The Hyuga girl blushed at his touch like she always did when people were around. She then slowly kissed him back but he decided to pull back quickly. With another ruffling her hair, the three shinobis then disappeared in a flash leaving Hinata alone.
======================
While as they exited the apartment, Naruto was extremely surprised to see that Haku was still at it, his speed was definitely impressive in the condition he was in. The three were dashing around the sides of buildings of Konoha as if there were no streets at all. The trio dodged anyone they could in the village, it wasn't like they wanted to avoid them, they were too quick for the villagers to see or sense. Seeing there was no point to take their sweet time, Naruto then leaped high to the sky with Rin and Haku following him using their preferred teleport technique and warped out the vicinity.
The Death Knight with his two closest allies arrived outside the Hokage's building with their warp. Naruto observed his surroundings carefully with a straight face, he could feel a disturbing aura around here. Haku and Rin didn't sense it since it wasn't directed at them but Naruto could see many people were watching him. The silver hair genin then smirked widely, somewhat sinisterly. The female archer and Hunter-nin noticed this, they knew something was going on when they sensed many different energies nearby. As the three looked around, many chunnins and Anbus were already here hiding and revealing themselves. All of them had evil grins on their faces, they were up to something.
"I didn't expect this to be a welcoming party," said Haku sarcastically eyeing the surrounding chunnins.
"More of a ambush to me," said Naruto with a stern annoyed look.
"What did you do to make those people act like this, ni-san?" asked Rin angrily watching each shinobi. There were over 2 dozen, the scary part was this took place outside the Hokage's office.
"I'm sure these guys would give you the answer soon enough. I recognize some of them, they were the chunnin judges that were in the first part of the chunnin exam."
"So, the demon boy has a good memory now," mocked one of the chunnins. "You have a lot of nerve coming here after what you said to Ibiki. You threaten him, you have messed with us!"
"I didn't come here to fight, I'm here to see Hokage-sama." stated an unmoved Naruto coldly.
"Too bad, you came at the wrong time, this happened to be our break time."
"So what about it?" asked Rin suspiciously.
"We are here to deal with some unfinished business with that demon," explained another older rank shinobi with a sense of authority. "Boy or not, no one dares speak to the Anbu Captain like he's the boss."
"If Ibiki feels so strongly about, why isn't he here?" asked the Death Knight not seeing the special jounin with sight range.
"He was proud that you stood up to him, but of course we didn't think so. Demon brat, it's time for you to know your place in Konoha!"
"Oh, so you volunteered yourselves to do this?" asked Haku with a grin. "This makes things even better."
"Yeah," agreed Naruto. "You guys have brought on this responsibility upon yourselves. Don't blame us when you get hurt too much."
"There's no way you three kids could beat all of us," shouted a cocky chunnin. Naruto nearly yawned.
"Why don't just see for yourselves how powerless we are?" questioned Rin with dark sarcasm. "Guys, this would be just like old times, right?" The other males nodded as they reached for their weapons. Haku had his needles and glaive (AN: I should make him have more than just needles, he needs a decent weapon for real heavy combat.) while Naruto held on to his blade. Unexpectedly, all three of them vanished right before all of their eyes.
"What the hell happened?" questioned an enemy shinobi.
"How the heck am I supposed to know?" shouted another. At the next split second, three of the chunnins already had sharp objects stabbed into their chest. No one saw that one coming, it was too quick for them even to sense. As the three teens pulled out their weapons out of the now nearly dead chunnins, they glared at the remaining older shinobis who had an angry and fuming expression. One gritted his teeth and formed hand seals for an advanced attack.
"Fire Wave-no jutsu!" yelled the mentioned chunnin as a flame of raging fire burst from his mouth in a mannerly fashion. The teens simply leaped high to the air and dashed down holding their weapons first in a defensive position and then dived down at high speed in a charging state. Some of the enemies quickly tossed kunais and shurikens at the incoming genins (AN: I know Rin is a chunnin but naming them genins is a little bit easier right now.) hoping to halt their assault. However, their attempts were to no avail since they were deflected easily as if they were nothing. Haku immediately slid at high agility to reach close to his opponents. The chunnins didn't expect what the Hunter-nin did next, using chakra Haku generated a large Ice Shard in his hand and launched it at a chunnin. It struck him hard in the chest and exploded in contact. It stunned him badly as well causing his movements to be severely dulled. Two other shinobis decided to go melee on the Mist-nin, Haku was prepared for anything they had in store. When the slash came, the Mist-nin simply moved back to evade and raised a leg to break one of the chunnins' wrist. The other one was shocked at what happened, Haku did it like as if it was the easiest thing in the world. However, that didn't stop him, he continued his assault hoping it would at least wound the Hunter-nin by just a bit. The older genin had enough warming up, it was time to end this chunnin's overconfidence. Haku leaped backward a bit and formed a set of hand seals.
"Frost Nova!" shouted Haku as a powerful burst of ice came from the chunnin. He was frozen, not literally inside an ice cube scenario but his body was freezing. He no longer had the will to continue battling. As soon as Haku sensed another person behind him, he lifted his glaive and slashed horizontally at the person's stomach causing a very deep cut. The enemy grabbed his wound in pain and fell to his knees defenseless, he was already losing quite a bit of blood. The Mist-nin didn't bother ending his life, it wasn't worth getting his hands slightly dirty. Instead he took off to aid his other comrades. Of course, he was interrupted on the way since the chunnins were here to stop his progress in any way possible. Haku smirked and continued to engage those fools.
"Death Coil!" shouted Naruto as he released a green coil of death at a chunnin that struck his face. The damaged shinobi held his face in pure agony, it was music to the Death Knight's ears. Suddenly from behind the fallen chunnin, two of his subordinates fired dangerous fireballs as a covering attack. Naruto defended with his blade while moving slightly back due to the effective suppressing fire. It was then Rin did some firing of her own to support her brother. Generating chakra in her hand, she began to fire Cold Arrows to pierce through the incoming fireballs. Naruto smirked at his sister's excellent timing, it never ceased to impress him. As the icy arrows destroyed some of the attacking fireballs, it struck directly in their faces sending them falling backwards.
"Hey, I would've taken care of myself quite well you know!" shouted Naruto as he released a Chain Lightning at more incoming troops.
"Is that what you say after I helped you?" questioned Rin teasingly as she dodged a kunai aimed for her chest. Naruto smirked in response as he dashed to another chunnin attacking with his blade held high ready to strike. Rin ignored her brother and continued what she was doing. With a Blink, she teleported herself to a good distance and unleashed the powerful Forked Lightning at 3 slow chunnins. The others who were alerted tossed more shurikens to stop her assault. The female archer easily deflected them using her own ranged attacks and gave off more suppressing fire that nailed down another ninja. 'These guys are weak!' thought Rin with a smirk as she smashed a sneaky one behind her in the face with her fist. At the exact same time, a kunai was flying her way unexpectedly but it seemed like slow motion to her. She simply grabbed the handle with whizzed it at the person who tossed it. It struck in the chunnin's vest deeply into his flesh and to make him know more pain, the girl shot a Mana Burn at his stomach allowing the feeling of suffering enter his system. Another annoying ninja charged at her, she glared slightly and moved away as his attack nearly damaged her. With a quick hand seal formation, she placed her hand on his arm with an devilish grin on her cute face, the chunnin was sweating bullets then since he couldn't break free from her grip. Her grin then faded and an extremely high volt Forked Lightning all focussed onto him only nearly killing him in one shot.
Meanwhile, Naruto wasn't showing a sign of mercy at the shinobi he was dealing, his onslaught frightened all those who were engaging him. A chunnin attempted to stab the Death Knight as he got close but that only resulted in the kunai to be sliced in two smoothly and a forceful kick in the face. No one could get close to him or even last long if Naruto was fighting close range. They tried genjutsu which had no signs of effectiveness since he would just dispel it as if it was nothing. Their ninjutsu techniques would be all drained by the Devour Magic or the Death Knight would just evade it making them waste their chakra. Bunshins and other replication techniques couldn't fool him either, he would simply use Chain Lightning, it would guarantee to hit the real person.
"Silence!" shouted Naruto as he unleashed chakra on a chunnin who was about to use a ninjutsu technique. (AN: CHECK JUTSU LIST to find out more about these techniques)
"Hey, what are you doing?" questioned a chunnin angrily as he blocked one of the silver hair boy's blade assaults which were physically strong. "Why aren't you firing?"
"I can't! I really can't!" called back the Silenced shinobi. Knowing he couldn't release his jutsu, he reached for his pouch and threw a kunai at Naruto aiming right for his head. The dark warrior tilted his head slightly as the weapon whizzed by his face. The chunnin's eyes widened in shock, he never expected the boy to be this incredibly good. One higher rank ninja dashed to the Death Knight's side preparing to strike his waist with a kunai. This didn't go unnoticed by Naruto though for his moved back a little allowing the foolish chunnin to pass by missing him completely. With the perfect timing, he raised his knee up to the chunnin's stomach causing blood come out of his mouth as an immediate effect. With a twist, Naruto gripped the chunnin's face with his available hand and started to crush it. The other's could only watch it fear as a hungry smile of satisfaction came across the demon boy's face.
"Cripple." stated Naruto as a loud splash of chakra sound was heard from the victim. The victim was released from the grip one second after that but he looked crapped up beyond imaginable, it was similar his bones and ligaments were busted and dislocated beyond FUBAR. With a glare, he raised his runeblade and aimed at one of the dumbfounded opponents. However, he didn't fire anything but he Blinked to his side and stabbed the blade in his chest with much strength causing him to yell in absolute pain. Blood covered Nightshadow (AN: If you don't know what this name is, that's his runeblade) as Naruto pulled it out, to ensure the guy knew endless torment before he died, the Death Knight shot a Death Coil before the blade extracted completely. His dark smirk grew only wider.
"What in the hell is going on here?" yelled a voice in panic and disbelief. The three teens stopped their assault for a second and took a glance at who was actually stopping them. Haku and Rin didn't know who he was but that man wasn't a mystery to Naruto, it was no other than the Hokage.
"Nothing much," lied Naruto as kicked the body away off so he could sheath his runeblade. "This was a welcoming party these guys wanted to give me before I was given permission to see you."
"Yeah," added Rin as she released a chunnin from the collar to the ground. "They certainly entertained us."
"Welcoming party?" questioned the Third angrily. He glanced at the amount of chunnins on the ground, he counted 23, only 5 of them were still standing with absolute fear. The conscious middle class shinobis didn't know what to be scared of. The fact that three kids beat 28 chunnins or the consequences for starting this in the first place. By the looks of it, a lot of them have been killed, they certainly seemed lifeless and showed no signs of even twitching. The Hokage gasped and eyed Naruto dangerously, the Death Knight showed no reaction.
"You seem like you want to say something," said Naruto with sarcasm. "I don't like my time to be wasted."
"Did you kill some of these men, Naruto?" asked the old man dangerously.
"Hey, they volunteered themselves to perform this on me," justified Naruto with no sense of feeling any guilt for killing or nearly killing these 'allies'. "I was only here to look for you."
"This doesn't give you the right…" Naruto flashed a cold glare.
"What the hell am I supposed to do when these Konoha freaks surrounded the three of us when we arrived? They weren't here to chat, I know that."
"Naruto-ni-san just wanted to bring Haku-sempai to you!" said Rin with a touch of guilt for hurting so many people. Deep down, she felt no remorse just like Naruto, she was smirking victoriously inside.
"You must be Kamishiro Rin from the Hidden-Air. Jiraiya has told me enough about you," said the Third somewhat coldly at the female archer. "You do know it's nearly unforgivable that a foreign ninja such as yourself to come to other's village and kill over 2 dozen of their skilled shinobis." 'Skilled is hardly the word,' mocked Rin in her thoughts. Haku grinned at that fake neutral expression on her face, he simply loved it.
"They insisted to attack Naruto-ni-san, I felt obligated to step in."
"What was the reason that they wanted to take down Naruto so badly?" asked the Hokage very curiously. Haku and Rin honestly didn't know, however the silver hair boy seemed to know.
"I said something about threatening Ibiki-san's life," answered Naruto all covered in fresh blood, the other two were the same as well. "It happened in the chunnin exam when Ibiki-san was doing his psychological torture on me and others. I just lost to my emotions and threatened him to stop."
"I see, looks like Ibiki did a good job at that department."
"What I'm confused was if Ibiki-san was the person I threatened, why are these men here? If he felt insulted… which I seriously doubt, shouldn't he be here taking me on as well?"
"You're right," stated the Third. "Ibiki isn't that type of person who takes these things personally, he knows why you said what you said. I think the reason of these chunnins acted the way they did was the fact that…" Naruto looked at the ground sadly as he wiped the blood off his runeblade.
"I'm the most feared one in Konoha, I'm the last of my clan who became a Death Knight, right?"
"Naruto-ni-san, you're not a demon!" shouted Rin holding his arm.
"What's the point of cheering up when everyone else believes that you are?" questioned the silver hair boy lifelessly in a miserable state. "Believe me, this incident happened when I found out Haku was brought here by Sasuke and his team. Two Anbu members attacked my team just because I was asking who was coming to the gate. Rin-chan, Haku-sempai and Hokage-sama, as long as I'm here I will only cause trouble to the village… I'll admit that, I'll accept this fact as long as I live."
"Naruto…" whispered the Third too ashamed to look at the boys cold eyes with pure hatred towards Konoha and most of the people. He blamed himself for not doing a good enough job to help the boy the way it should've been done. He sighed in silence. "Naruto… I'm very sorry that you still feel about Konoha the same way after all this time… I really thought that living away would change your beliefs and doctrine. However, it seemed like after your absence you have turned into what the villagers never wanted you to become…"
"Naruto-ni-san isn't what the people think he is!" shouted Rin angrily but not angry towards the old man.
"I know, Rin," continued the Third calmly but holding a lot of sadness. "I don't think so either. To me, it really doesn't matter if he's the Uzumaki Paladin or the evil Death Knight. Believe me, I truly believe that if he was evil, there would be no way that you would still be alive. He wouldn't have accepted people into his life and found a source of something that is of worth for him to protect. He found you, Jiraiya, your Mist-nin friend Haku, his teammates, he's willing to make sacrifices for them no matter how big the cost. I think he's a great Death Knight, he's really the first one to be like that. You can say he may be dark, he's not evil at all. It's really a shame that so many people still see him as a monstrosity…"
"It's okay, Hokage-sama…" said Naruto devoid of any feeling but he was glad to be accepted by him. "As long as there are people who want me to be me… that's more than enough." He then walked to the bodies with a grin on his face. "Hokage-sama, I'll deal with the bodies… I'll take all the blame on this, I'm sorry we may have killed 20 chunnins today to weaken Konoha's men… I'm willing to suffer any consequences you have prepared for me. Just allow Rin and Haku to slide out of this. I beg you, they just didn't want me to get hurt…" At that point, the boy was already bowing to the old man begging him to meet some of his requests. The Hokage just smiled.
"There's no need for that, Naruto."
"What?" asked all three teens shocked.
"The law does state that no one is allowed to pick on fights with you are they not? Unless it was a friendly challenge or match in a test or something. If any citizen decided to ambush you for the reason of you're the demon and wanted to kill you for that, they have to deal with me. If you killed them… even though it was somewhat inappropriate, I'll take it as a form of self defense." The three teens were dumbfounded by this answer, Naruto never received such grace from anybody before other than Rin loving him as the most important person in her life and Hinata accepting him no matter what. Naruto gratefully bowed holding back tears as Rin gave him a passionate hug and the Hunter-nin gave a friendship embrace with pats on the back.
"I thank you, Hokage-sama!" exclaimed Naruto sincerely when his inner self was grinning with a sense of lust in blood. He was glad more bastards died today. The old man then guided Rin and Haku to his office to decide on what kind of plans they should be making now. Rin needed to fully register herself here so she could be the official judges of the chunnin exam while Haku needed to be a citizen of Konoha and get into the Medic-nin squadron for the chunnin exams and future career. As for the 5 dumbfounded conscious chunnins, the Third ordered them to stay behind after his conference was done.
Naruto smiled as his two friends went in and began to gather up the dead bodies to put them into a pile. He took a good look at his face as a body's forehead protector gave him his reflection, he didn't realize he was covered in blood that was turning dark red at this point. He smiled as he licked and drank some of it on his arm, it tasted satisfyingly sweet. His hungry expression soon returned to neutral as he shook off all the evil thoughts that roamed around in his mind. In reality, he sensed someone was behind him nearby. He flashed a look at a large tree with a grin and decided to tie up any loose ends.
"Gaara-san," called Naruto kind but firm. "Why are you here?" The red head immediately jerked as his name was called, how did Naruto know he was there even though he wasn't revealing himself in anyway. Knowing he was spotted, he decided to reveal himself but not so gracefully.
"You're pretty good for noticing me this quickly," stated Gaara with a cold look.
"Enough of the mockery," said Naruto wiping away most of the blood on his upper body. "I know you have been watching for some time. Anyway, I have no idea why you're here but I want to talk to you though."
"If it's about that incident we had a week ago, I have no interest to talk about it. I already apologized."
"I'm certain that you would like the subject topic. Would you mind if I talk over dinner?" Gaara winced at him with confusion. No one ever treated him to dinner, especially not someone who he barely knew. However, the expression the Death Knight gave him was a surprisingly understanding one. It seemed to be an offer he shouldn't refuse even though he felt awkward about it. Gaara nodded slightly and a grin immediately appeared on Naruto's face. Soon, the two teens made their way around Konoha to find a place to eat.
=======================
"So…" said Gaara hesitantly since he was never the one to make any conversation. "So… what is that interesting thing you said that you wanted to talk about?" Naruto gave him a grin.
"Not the best conversationalist are you?" asked Naruto as he took a mouthful of ramen and swallowed it plainly with no feelings whatsoever of praising kami-sama for this invention. "Or are you just never the patient type?"
"A little bit of both actually…" stated the red head flatly but it was honest. "What is this stuff?"
"Ramen," answered Naruto as he took another bite. "Haven't you heard of it? It's not bad, you should try it my friend. You gotta eat something sooner or later. If you haven't heard of it… man, how badly isolated are you from the outside world?" Gaara glared at the dark shinobi as an immediate response. However, Naruto simply grinned back. "You seem upset to what I just said, is it because what I said is all true? You have been alone for some time now? Trust me Gaara-san, I know what it feels like to be like that."
"How would you know though?" asked the Sand genin suspiciously. "Why are you so certain that what you said just now is all true?"
"Because, I know that you are the same as I am. The first day I met you I already figured out you and I were very similar. The way you act towards Kankuro showed me enough, you can't fool my eyes. You have a demon within yourself, just like me." Gaara was stunned at this truth, it was sort of too overwhelming for him to accept. He didn't know how he should react, the fact that his secret was completely open to a stranger or the fact that this total mystery boy was exactly like him. "Gaara-san, those eyes of yours tell me a lot…"
"Just who are you anyway?" asked Gaara somewhat frustrated. "You just come up to me and say that you're a demon like me while you don't even know me! I don't understand this, how could my secret be exposed to you as if it was right in front of your face? I don't get this! If you don't tell me… I…"
"Will kill you?" questioned the silver hair boy calmly as he took a zip of water. Gaara's raccoon like eyes widened at what he said. "You can't hide a thing from my eyes, especially not the demon. Do you feel lonely and painful with that curse that was brought upon you? Do you feel unfair as if the world was against you ever since the day you were born?" The Sand genin slowly nodded as he took a bite out of the mysterious ramen. He had to admit that it was decent, not like he would say it though so openly. "Believe me, I felt this way ever since I figured out I had the demon within me at the age of 5 to 6. Realizations began to hit me, why no one liked me, why no kids wanted to be my friends or even if they did their parents would simply want to pull them back…"
"I think I went through worse…" said Gaara.
"How so?"
"Based on what you said, it seemed like the kids don't know about this demon of yours, am I right?" Naruto nodded in response as he dug out more noodles. "Unfortunately for me, everyone in my village knew who I was. They hated me ever since I was born, adults and kids included. All of them had either a sense of fear or rejection or hatred in their eyes. So unlike you, I may not have any friends…"
"You really didn't have any friends?"
"No, did you?"
"I did, she became the most important person in my life until I became a renegade and left the village until recently. She became my source of strength, she didn't know of course. I would melt to see her happy face everyday, it would pain me when she cried, I would laugh with her when something was funny… those were the only happy times when I was a kid…"
"What made you leave though?" asked Gaara with interest. He wasn't trying to make fun of him or anything, he was quite curious.
"I'll tell you some other time," answered the Death Knight. "You can say that my life was then dedicated to killing and training afterwards. Knowing the demon within myself… I knew life would only be a living hell, I needed to be strong to protect myself until I met another person."
"Who was this person then?"
"You don't need to know her, she also showed me a lot of things. The most important person important people in your life are the things that hold value to you. You would do anything to make them feel happy, warm, accepted, appreciated, wanted, needed, make them feel or know they are something worthy… she helped me realize this one day very indirectly. I valued her and she felt the same way. I realized that there are many kind people out there who are a lot more open and accepting than others. If we continue to look one direction, we would never see what's happening behind us or around us."
"Why are you so sure about this? We are demons, nobody would acknowledge us!" argued Gaara sadly.
"I have people who do accept me for who I am. Trust me, there will always be people out there who will see the Gaara the human instead of Gaara the monster. There are people waiting to be wanted and cared for, you could be the person to satisfy that emptiness for them. Believe me, once they trust you… they won't think the demon was anything. Think of it this way, if you were actually a demon, why the hell would you care for them to begin with?"
"You may have a point there… but I was once foolish enough to believe there was a thing called kindness in this world. It was then I truly felt hated… it wasn't the best introduction as to what this world had to offer."
"You're right," chuckled Naruto slightly. "This world has nothing to offer if we don't look for it. I know it may seem too hard for you to digest this in one conversation but killing people to feel satisfied won't ever satisfy you. Even today I want vengeance for what this village gave me but there are those who are here that are precious to me. If I set my heart on this plot of revenge… I will hurt those who…"
"Care about you?" asked Gaara snorting a little bit. "I wish I had people like that."
"You just need someone to understand, Gaara-san." The Death Knight gave him a pat on the shoulder encouragingly. "I understand you completely, you have no clue how much I know."
"Naruto…" said Gaara. "How could you be so light about this? Don't you hate what you are? Hadn't this thing inside you caused you enough torment the way it did already? I hate myself with this monster and I see you being so carefree and caring and all that! I don't see how you do it!"
"I hate myself too, I wanted to kill myself for living such a life. But I would also pain too many people if I died or do something that would worry them. Once you know you are something to just one person would mourn over you over and over after something tragic happened to you, you know that person sees the real you." replied Naruto with a grin. "I'm cold like you, but warmer to people who understand the real me. Gaara-san, I'm willing to be your friend. I know why you react like you do or even decide to do things the way you want to. You want to satisfy yourself right?"
"How do I do it though? Everyone seems to be against me…"
"Cut that crap, dwelling in your own self-pity won't change shit you know!" shouted Naruto not with much fury in his voice. "Change is hard, I know that… it took me a long while to see things a little bit more clearly. You may still hate those people who did whatever they did to you but always keep this in mind, there's always someone out there who would see the real you not your reputation or anything else that may change their perspective."
"Why do you care so much though? Why do you bother to want me feel wanted and accepted? I appreciate that you understand but…" The Death Knight then flashed him a serious glare, it gave Gaara the shivers done his spine. His sudden change was frightening.
"Gaara-san," explained Naruto with a deadly tone. "In the chunnin exam I sensed that you wanted to find something important to me… you wanted to tear it away from me. I meant what I said earlier, you could hide nothing from me. Not now, not ever. You dare threaten my friends or hurt anyone who is valued to me for sheer entertainment, I'll make sure you know what the true meaning of death means! Despite how damn angry I am with you, I still want you to realize something. Even though we have demons within ourselves, it's not worth it to live it as if it's all hopeless and killing others or dwell in self pity are the only solutions. Someone can fill in the gap of that loneliness and make it into something great. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow. But remember, whatever happens don't give up on yourself. If you forfeit, no one would be able to help you from there."
"I… thank you… Naruto…" said Gaara sincerely for once. "Are we friends then?"
"As long as you don't hurt my friends that is," joked Naruto with a chuckle.
"Hey, just because we are friends it doesn't mean I'll go easy on you on the exams!"
"Never intended you to, it's getting late, Gaara-san. We should get going now." Gaara silently agreed and left the ramen restaurant in a more cheerful mood. The two talked a little bit more before they parted their different ways back to the places they were staying for the night.
======================
Naruto checked his watch, it was around 9:58 PM already. He didn't realize that he had been out for so long. After leaving his place in the mid-afternoon, he had to admit time certainly did fly when you were having fun. As he turned his keys to his apartment, he gave out a slight yawn in exhaustion. After locking his door, he made his way to the kitchen and took a cup of water. The place was quiet and knowing he had 2 visitors here, he thought he shouldn't have a feeling that he was completely alone in the area. He saw a note on the table, it was a message from Rin and Haku.
"To Naruto-ni-san," he read out loud. "I thought you would've been home by the time we came back but you weren't here. So, we decided to leave you a few words. Haku-sempai and I got an apartment from the Hokage to stay at. I really don't want to bother you at your place since you have your own girl to deal with. Please meet us at the Hokage's office at 10 AM tomorrow morning so we could give you all the details about today's meeting. Writing it out now would be too annoying for me. See you there. Love Rin and Haku." 'How nice,' thought Naruto. 'Looks like those two would have a lot of fun without me.' He placed that note on top of the coffee table and made his way to his room to gather clothes after his shower. As he entered, he saw that someone was sleeping in his futon. He sighed once he figured it was no other than Hinata, his girlfriend. 'Looks like Hinata-chan didn't go home tonight… she really doesn't need to stay with me…'
He kneeled down to her level and stroked her cheek softly. She was so cute sleeping so soundly. He sighed with a smile on his face and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. 'Well, one night wouldn't hurt I suppose,' he said in his mind. 'I'll just sleep in the guest room then… after I take a shower that is.' With that thought ended, the boy made his way to the bathroom without much sound so he wouldn't abruptly wake her. Within 10 minutes or so, he came back out all dressed and took his pillow from his futon and prepared his way to the room next door. However, someone grabbed his wrist making him stop in his tracks, he knew the girl was awake.
"Naruto-kun…" cooed Hinata softly. The boy simply sighed lightly.
"You have been awake all this time haven't you?" he asked teasingly, somewhat.
"Whatever gave you that idea?" she asked innocently while sitting up slightly.
"Never mind," stated Naruto. "I'm sleeping in the next room, I'll go now."
"Please stay with me, Naruto-kun…" she pleaded cutely and a little bit seducing. "I want you here, I haven't seen you for so long already…"
"Hina-chan," he said. "You already miss me for not seeing me for only 6 hours?"
"Of course!" she exclaimed hugging him closely. "You are my Naruto-kun after all." The Death Kniight chuckled a bit at that response, it seemed a little bit blind. "Can we sleep together then?" she then asked hopefully holding him closer while she pushed herself a little towards him.
"I don't know…" replied Naruto feeling a bit of her chest on his. Like mentioned before, he had an incredible ability not to get into a seductive trance or anything like that. He simply kissed her on the forehead and gave her a smile. "I'll pass." However, Hinata's words weren't a request, she then launched herself at him to a kiss. A kiss that she desperately waited to get from him for some time.
Despite how much willpower the boy had, when the girl was able to get this close, it was just hard not to accept this sweet tasting sensation. He soon forgot what he just said and pulled her by the waist to his body feeling all her curves. She was definitely gorgeous, he knew he was in love with her even though he didn't show it too much. When they were alone, it was a whole different story but he still refused to get seduced. Was he getting seduced right now? Not really, you all could say he gave in before anything seductive acts were performed. He deepened the kids by leaning his head closer to hers, she responded by allowing her tongue to brush his lips wanting entrance into his mouth. He couldn't refuse that kind of offer, anyone who rejected his Hinata's touch was an idiot. She scoured his mouth pleasantly and she made sure she took her time as well trying to give the boy as much pleasure as she could offer. Naruto secretly loved it when she kissed him, she always gave her all to him as if he was all hers, it was true, Naruto was hers. He then slowly did the same and scouted her sweet mouth, she moaned into his pleasantly which made him melt inside knowing she was happy and he was doing a decent job at it.
The Hyuga girl then pushed him on the futon and laid on top of him breathing heavily since she was getting out of breath. The boy however, showed no signs that he was tired or out of air, he just smiled at the gorgeous face that was above his, Hyuga Hinata was truly his goddess, nothing would ever change that. She felt like the happiest girl on earth, Hinata today couldn't believe after all these years of waiting she finally had him. Her Naruto was and always will be her safety, her comfort, her light, her guidance, her strength, her encouragement and most importantly her one and only love.
"Do you love me?" asked the Hyuga heiress sweetly.
"Do you even need to ask?" questioned Naruto as he wrapped his arms around her narrow waist.
"I don't know about that, you seem to like Rin-san a lot. You've been spending the entire time with her and Haku-san the entire day. I really don't know if you have feelings for Rin-san…"
"Rin-chan is my sister, Hina-chan," Naruto couldn't help but chuckle. "I already told you, Rin is just my sibling and yes I love her too but not the same way I love you. So don't worry about it, okay?"
"Can you still say those three words to me?" requested Hinata gently to his ear.
"You know I feel that way towards you."
"I love hearing those words come out of your mouth," she said lovingly. "Can you say it for me?" At that point, who was he to disappoint her? Only a fool would upset his favorite girl at a time like this.
"I love you, Hyuga Hinata," he said as he kissed her cheek. "I'll love you now and forever as long as this body is able to draw air."
"I love you so much, Naruto-kun…" she moaned with pleasure. "Will you leave me?"
"I'll stay by your side forever." He then kissed her on the lips once again giving her the best amount of love he could muster, this was already overwhelming for the Hyuga girl but she willing accepted all of it and showed no signs of hesitation of returning more back. The two loving couple embraced in that position for a long period of time giving each other all the pleasure that they were hungry for. When both were finally satisfied they slept in each other's arms lovingly with Hinata kissing Naruto's neck when she took every breath. Naruto couldn't help but smile during the night each time she did that, her lips were amazingly soft and gentle. Once their midnight activities have ended, the two slept peacefully until daybreak.
