Disclaimer: Is this story a NaruHina? Do I own Naruto? They have the same answer.

-Konoha-

Then Kakashi poofed right in front of them and said , "No one yet. But right now we have an A class mission right now. The Hyuuga heiress has been kidnapped by Akatsuki. Our mission is to get her back."

Normally our loud-mouthed blonde would have been leaping with joy but now he just stood there with a serious thinking cap on. Both Kakashi and Sakura thought the same thoughts, 'What's wrong with him?'

Then Naruto spoke, "We're just chuunins. Why aren't jounins going on this mission?

Kakashi replied, "Most of the jounins are on missions right now for a long period of time. Also they don't know Hinata as well as you do. You two are going alone so bring her back. The secret of the Byakugan is at stake."

-Akatsuki's Lair-

"Kukukuku, so now we have the famed Byakugan in our hands." Itachi smiled as he looked upon his bound prisoner.

"Leave me alone! I won't let you get my eyes!" Hinata screamed in a futile attempt to dissuade Itachi from taking her eyes out.

"Silly little girl… I'm not going to take your eyes. I'm just here to create a most powerful person." Itachi smiled once more. His smile was not seen often, and when it was, it shone. Not radiance, but pure evil.

"Then what do you want?" The 16 year old Hyuuga whispered. She had been frightened by seeing Itachi's smile, so all her hopes of escape were dashed to the ground in the smothering evil.

"As I told you, I'm here to create the ultimate fighting, killing, and thinking machine. My part in this I do not like and neither will you. For I am here to create a whole new bloodline. I call it the Shakyugan." Itachi smiled a third time.

Realization dawned upon the scared Hyuuga Hinata. "No… you can't do this."

"Oh yes I can my little Hinata."

-Konoha-

Once again the Hokage Sarutobi spoke to the citizens of Konoha. "Today the Hyuuga heiress has been declared missing. Two of our chuunins will be on their way to bring her back safely."

Hyuuga Hiashi stood to protest about who was going on the mission. "Hinata is my daughter. Why should two people with no bloodline limit go and save MY daughter? If they go, Hyuuga Neji goes also."

"No." The answer was short and clear. It came from a tiled roof and on top of the roof stood Konoha's one-and-only Uzumaki Naruto. "You can trust me and Sakura-chan for this mission. Although we may look weak, although we might be weak, we will bring Hinata back at all costs. And that's a lifetime promise."

"Then you better remember that promise brat." Hiashi walked angrily away.

The people of Konoha were mumbling among themselves, "That damn demon brat always butt's in." Again they asked themselves, "Why trust a demon?"

-In the Woods-

In the woods Kakashi was briefing Naruto and Sakura on their upcoming mission, "… you begin tomorrow."

"But…" Naruto was cut off by Kakashi disappearing in a puff of gray smoke. "Oh, well…"

There was a moment of silence as Naruto and Sakura stood there looking where their perverted sensei once was two seconds earlier.

Sakura suddenly said, "Hey! Naruto-kun! Wanna go with me to Ichiraku Ramen?"

"Uhhhhh… sure…" Naruto was shocked at the sudden changes in Sakura. One, she called him Naruto-kun. And two, she asked him out. This was turning out to be a weird day.

"Hey slowpoke! Hurry up or I'll make eggs at your house and give everyone a copy of you in the bunny suit!" Sakura called out teasingly. Naruto blinked and suddenly Sakura's hair looked a lot pinker…

'They make a good couple…' Kakashi smiled. He had been in the tree right above Naruto and Sakura reading Icha Icha Paradise.
