Seeing Hinata cry, Naruto felt saddened. Being a caring person, despite his brash nature, he wanted to help her. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure how to approach her. Would she think he was stalking her? That would be creepy…
Suddenly, the proverbial light bulb lit up over his head. Unbeknownst to him, Kyuubi had given him an idea. Quickly performing seals, he was about to slam his hand on the floor when he realized he forgot the blood. Redoing the seals again with the blood, he slammed his hand onto the floor and whispered, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" A small puff of smoke appeared. Out of the ninja smoke, trotted a cute and fluffy kit. "Hana! Alright, I need your help ok?" said Naruto.
The kit yipped in response. "That girl in there is a friend of mine. She's feeling sad and I want you to help me cheer her up! Got it?"
The kit yipped again. With a nod, she turned around and trotted in. Hinata, in her distress, was completely unaware of the little fox until it had jumped onto her bed. Startled, she gasped and spun around. When she saw the little fox, she relaxed and went back to her crying.
The fox crept forward towards Hinata's body. She nudged her with her nose and licked the tears off her face. "Why am I so weak?" uttered Hinata through her crying. Hana cocked her head to the side and looked at her. "Neji-niisan's right… I won't ever become a chuunin. I'm just a failure." She sobbed.
'Neji? That's the guy who was asking Sasuke's name before the first Exam! That bastard!' thought Naruto.
"I wish I were stronger. I wish I were brave like Naruto-kun."
'She th-thinks I'm b-brave?'
As Hinata sobbed into her pillow, Hana curled up right next to her. "You don't think I'm weak do you?" she asked the fox.
Hana looked at her and shook her head. As she licked the tears off her face, Hinata smiled and started to pet Hana. They started to play together and outside the door, Naruto smiled and stood. He went to search the tower for Neji.
'What do you think you're doing?' said Kyuubi.
'I'm going to go kick that bastard's ass for making Hina-chan cry.'
'Oh, I see. So you're head over heels in love right?'
'Exac- HEY! I am so not in love…I think…'
Kyuubi laughed at his confusion, to which he responded with a prompt yell of "shut up!" as he continued to check all the training rooms for Neji. However, as minutes turned to hours, Kyuubi was getting ticked off. 'Kit! Stop looking for the Hyuuga and train! You will have a chance to defeat him in battle during either the preliminaries or the third exam. He is by no means weak and will not be eliminated in the preliminaries.'
Begrudgingly, Naruto agreed and found a training room without others and sparred with his clone.
