Ruins of a Hidden Village

Hey guys, its time for chapter 2!

This story is based after the death of Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.

For those of you who found the first chapter confusing, here's my explaination.

Naruto has been having these weird dreams lately. He doesn't really understand them, so it gets confusing. Basically, the dreams are based on the Naruto's hidden power which will be explained in this chapter.

Thanks to my reviewer:

I read over my story so far, soI get why u don't understand it right now. Be patient, its is going to progress slowly.

On with the story!

Chapter 2:Ruins of a Hidden Village

Naruto woke with a start. He was in his room. It was all a dream. Heaving a sigh of relief, he laid back down on his lumpy mattress.

'Thank god that was a dream. I thought I was a goner.' he thought.

Checking his clock, he saw that it read 8:55am. Jumping out of bed, he rushed to his bathroom.

'I'm going to be late!' he thought.

FLASHBACK

That day, Kakashi had told Team Seven to meet him at the Hokage Memorial. He said that the Hokage had a personal mission for them. Naruto had happily emptied Ichiraku of their ramen supply for a day, and then ran home to prepare. He had spent half the night complaining to himself quietly about the injustice of drycleaners. His favorite orange outfit was two sizes too small for him. It had shrunk in the wash. Muttering curses he packed a matching black pair of shorts with a dark blue short sleeve shirt with diagional orange stripes that met in the middle, finishing with a black jacket with a single orange stripe running down the sleeves.

Satisfied, he had fallen asleep wearing his work clothes. Thus ended the day, as Naruto had snored loud enough for the Hokage to hear.

END FLASHBACK

Naruto quickly showered and put on his black outfit. As he brushed his teeth, he boiled water for his ramen. Once it was ready, he bagan to eat. Slurping his ramen at top speed, he ran out of his apartment, slaming the door as he went.

Checking his watch, it read 8:59am. Cursing, he ran even faster. As he approached the bridge, he saw that Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura was already there. As he approached, Kakashi turned to him.

"Well Naruto, I would have thought that you would have been here by now." he said.

"Gomen, the alarm didn't go off."

"Hn, that isn't surprising coming from a dead-last like you Naruto." said Sasuke.

Naruto felt his blood boiling at the insult.

"You want a fight right now Sasuke Bastard!" he shouted.

"Naruto! You are no match for Sasuke-kun! He has a Bloodline Limit, you don't." scolded Sakura.

Kakashi stepped in before any more could be said. He didn't want to have a beaten up Genin on his record as a Jounin.

"I expect that you're all wondering what kind of mission the Hokage wants to give you." he said.

"Anosa, anosa, will we be fighting any other ninja on this mission?" Naruto asked excitedly.

'I could show off my new move to Sakura-chan, and she would dump Sasuke for me!' Naruto thought excitedly.

"Hn" was all Sauske said.

"What type of mission will this be Kakashi sensei?" asked Sakura.

"It should be a retreival mission, Sakura. The Hokage had recieved information about the discovery of ancient ruins of a hidden village. Tsunade-sama wants us to find the Forbidden Scroll from that village." explained Kakashi.

"I want you all to be prepared, and to meet me at the gate at noon. You're all dismissed." he said, and with a puff of smoke, he was gone.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, do you want to go to Ichiraku Ramen with me?" asked Naruto.

"Iie, Naruto. I have important things to do today before noon." said Sakura.

Sasuke just started to walk away. Sakura, noticing this, started to follow him.

"Ja ne, see you later Naruto." she said.

Naruto waved half heartedly, and headed on his way.

'Well, since in have nothing to do until noon, I guess I'll go to the hotsprings.'

Having decided, Naruto started to head towards the hotsprings. Unknown to him, a pair of pale white eyes watched him go by.

Hyuuga Hinata had been walking down the streets of Konoha when she saw none other than Naruto headed her way. Looking around for a hiding place, she dived into a bunch of bushes just as Naruto walk past. Watching him go by she sighed to herself.

'Naruto-kun seems so calm these days. He also seems to be chasing after Sakura a lot less too. Could he be looking for another girl?' she wondered.

Determined to find out, Hinata started to follow Naruto, being careful to stay out of his sight.

Meanwhile, at the hotsprings, Tenten, and Ino were enjoying themselves when all of a sudden they saw a bit of white hair sticking up from the fence.

"Tenten-san, what do yout think that is?" asked Ino in a hushed voice.

"I don't know Ino, but i could've sworn that it just gave a giggle." replied Tenten.

Suddenly, a loud smack was heard by the two girls followed by sounds of running feet. Getting up to see what the commotion was all about, they spotted a man with white hair being chased out of the hotsprings by a group of angry women.

"YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!" yelled one of the women in the mob.

"You keep peeking on us everyday! Now we will have our revenge!" yelled another women in the mob.

"Whats going on? Who is that guy?" Tenten asked one of the people in the mob.

"Thats Jiraiya, the pevert who always sneaks around the women's part of the hotsprings peeking.!" answered the angry woman.

"Ino, I'll bet that he was the one who was behind the fence!" said a very angry Tenten.

"You're right Tenten, thats the same guy who was spying on us!" said an equally angry Ino.

The two girls stepped in front of the angry women.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of him." said Tenten.

"Yeah, by the time we're done with him, he'll never peek again." promised Ino.

As they were about to make their move, a familiar loud voice was heard.

"Oi, Ero-sennin, what are you doing here again?"

Ino and Tenten turned around to see Naruto in his new outfit standing by the perverted old man.

"Naruto, you know this guy?" asked Tenten.

"Of course he knows him, he's as perverted as the old guy!" declared Ino.

"Yes I know him, and no I'm not as perverted as he is, you loud mouth!" stated a very peeved Naruto.

"Then what are you doing here then Naruto!" asked a very angry Ino for being called a loud mouth.

"I came here to enjoy the hot springs before I have to go on a mission with the rest of my teammates." said Naruto.

"Fine! Then go do your own thing while we deal with this pervert."

"Fine! Just as long as you don't bother me!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Both blondes then turned away form each other and sulked.

"Uh, Ino, Naruto, how about we settle this later. We still have to deal with this pervert behind me." said Tenten.

The said pervert was nowhere in sight.

Ino was furious.

"Where did he go!" she screamed.

Clearing his ringing ear, Naruto looked around. Noticing a slight flash of white, he realized that Jiraiya was on the other side of the hot springs. Turning to Tenten and Ino he decided to tell them that they should stop searching. He immeadiately regretted this when he saw they were both comming at him with kunais.

"Naruto, where is that pervert?" Ino asked dangerously.

Naruto decided it was dangerous to have two dangerous girls after him, made two bunshins to buy him time, and ran for his life. Tenten immediately dispatched the two bunshins with well aimed kunais. As the smoke cleared, they saw that Naruto was no where in sight.

Deciding to hunt down Naruto and that pervert Jiraiya after they finished with their hot spring, both girls returned to their spring.

WITH NARUTO

Panting from running so fast, he stopped and looked around. He was in the male part of the hot springs. Deciding to rest for a while, he changed and went into the hot spring.

'The girls won't think to look here.' he thought.

Relaxing his body, he was soon snoring gently.

WITH HINATA

Slightly put out that Naruto had escaped here sight, she decided to rest herself at the hot springs. What she didn't expect was to find Tenten and Ino there.

"Hinata-san! Come join us!" shouted Ino.

Hinata simply nodded and got in after she changed.

"So, Hinata, what brings you to the hot springs?" questioned Tenten.

Hinata blushed furiously. She couldn't tell that she was tracking Naruto and had lost him.

'I better think of an excuse before they get suspicious.' she thought.

Before she could even open her mouth, Ino spoke.

"You were following Naruto, ne?"

Blushing furiously at being found out, Hinata didn't say anything. But Ino did.

"Hinata-san, what do you see in that loud, orange obsessed freak anyway?"

"Ino! Don't be so harsh in front of Hinata-san like that! We all know she like Naruto." scolded Tenten.

"I know Tenten, but everyone also wants to know why she likes Naruto." countered Ino.

Tenten didn't say anything, she was lost in thought. Looking up, she suggested a plan.

"Why don't we spy on Naruto after we're done here? That way, we will see what Hinata see in him."

"Alright, lets do it!" shouted Ino.

Rubbing her ears, Tenten scolded her.

"You don't have to be so loud Ino!"

Unkown to both of them, Hinata was trying to sneak away after she heard their plan. The only problem was, her clothes were in the changing rooms.

"Oi, Hinata-san! Wait for us!" shouted the other two girls.

Hinata flinched. She had wanted a clean getaway. Now she would have to be a part of the two girls' plan.

MEANWHILE, FAR FROM KONOHA

Far from Konoha, there was a valley. At the center of the valley, were some ruins. It seemed like you average everyday ruins, but something wasn't right. Down in the valley, something shifted.
