Chapter Five: Family

On her way to the training grounds with some food, Hinata met up with Gaara.
"Going to the training fields?" He asked.
She nodded her head and replyed with a "Hai."

When they got their they say Yondaime and Naruto spred out across the ground fast asleep. Yondaime, at one point, had point his coat over Naruto. Hinata thought it was adorable, while Gaara thought he was going to throw up.

"I smell food." said Yondaime with his eyes still closed.
"Food!" naruto shot straight up looking around. "ah! Hinata-chan! Did you bring ramen!" hinata smiled while she set down the ramen in front of naruto. Yondaime had sat up also and she gave him his food also.
"I brought some extra if your hungrey also, Gaara-kun." Gaara was surprised first by the fact that he had been addressed as "kun" and that she actaully considered bringing extra just in case.
"No thanks." He said, dispite himself no eating breakfast that morning.
"Come on Gaara!" Naruto said with his mouth full. "It's really good!"
"Hey, dont talk with your mouth full." Yondaime said, pointing at Naruto with his chopsticks.
"Hey! Dont point at me with yor chopsticks!" Naruto yelled, pointing at Yondaime with his chopsticks. (A.N: Its disrespectful to point with chopsticks, i believe.). The two then got into a fight about how and how not to eat. Hinata and Gaara noticed that there was something different about how they yelled at each other. It wasn't like yesterday when they were pissed off at each other. They now yelled on a more fun father/son standerd. Hinata couldn't help but wonder what happened after she left.

"What the hell happened after we left?" Gaara finally asked, interupted the two's fight which had somehow ended up with the two almost shoving food in each others faces. Yondaime then sat back down and straightened himself out, business like.
"we just talked."
"Talked about what?"
"Lots of stuff!" Said Naruto happily. "Like cool jutsu's, life in Konoha, the Chuunin exams, the Akatsuki, Orochimaru..."
"Looks like... You talked about some.. serious things..." said Hinata.
"Nah! it wasn't all serious! Like... like when we talked about Konoha. We compared what it was like when he was alive and how it is now! You wouldn't believe all the stuff that happened when he was a kid!"
Yondaime laughed. "A lot of things have changed. It's like... It's a whole new Konoha. naruto told me about his fight with you cousin, Hinata." He said looking at her. "Is.. did... is it really that bad?"
"Um.. ano.. well... its... not... anymore really..."
"He also told me about how he's going to change the Hyuuga." Yondaime laughed. "He may have a little difficulty unless hes on real good terms with the head of the house at the time or if he marries the head of house or something!" Yondaime laughed. "So, who's supposed to be the successor, anyways?" He looked over at Hinata to see her turn more red with embarressment then he's seen so far. She baried her head in her hands and mumbled something.
"I'm sorry what was that? I din't quite hear you."
"imthesuccessor." She said quickly and quielty. Yondaime leaning closer.
"I'm sorry, i didn't quite hear that?" He smiled. He knew perfectly well by her reactions that she was the successor, but this was to much fun.
"I'm the successor!" She finally said, looking up, more loudly then she had intended. She blushed and hid her head in her hands again. Yondaime's smiled broaded.
"So, the only way he'll change the Hyuuga is if you let him or marry him." Yondaime was now smiling ear to ear now. her reactions were just so funny and obvious.
"ne, ne! Why are you doing that! Your embarressing her! And of course she'll let me! It's not like she's going to want to marry me!" with that the two were at it again. Gaara surpressed a slight smile. He was kind of jealous of naruto for having a father/son relationship, but he wouldn't let him know that. He looked over at hinata who still had her head baried in her hands.
"You really like him don't you?" Gaara asked her. She looked up at him in surprise.
"ah... ano... uh... umm... ah..." She couldn't believe he had asked her something like that.
"It's ok, you don't have to answer. It's obvious you do." he had been so blunt in saying it that she almost felt comfortable about liking him.
"I got a great idea!" Sadi yondaime who had Naruto in a head lock. "let's go to the next town! They have a great amusment park! Let's go and have some fun!" Naruto, who had been grumbling about the head lock, Looked up at Yondaime in excitment.
"Really! Can we go! Really!"
"Ummm... I dont... think my father..."
"let me handel your father." said Yondaime winking. He then turned to gaara. "How about it?"
"I don't think you want me along."
"Of course we do! I told you that people with the demons in them are like family! I don't Naruto would want to go with out his family and probably one of his closest friends!"
"I'm not his friend."
"NANI!" Exclaimed naruto. "Since when haven't you been my friend!"
"Since I almost killed your other... your friends." naruto waved his hand back and forth
"ack, forgive and forget. forgive and forget. So how about it! You can even bring Temari and Kankuro!"
"Temari and kankuro have already headed back to the sand."
"Oh well their loss then! Come on! It won't be as fun if your not there also!"

After a while of trying to convince (and eventually succeed) Gaara to come along, they went to the Hyuuga house (Yondaime with henge) to talk to Hinata's dad. After a private conversation (and a surprsed yell) Hinata was allowed to go with them.

"Well everyone ready!" asked Yondaime as they began to head out.
"YOSHI!" Exclaimed naruto. Hinata said a quite "hai" and Gaara just... well.. was Gaara.
"Alright then! Let's go!" with that they headed through the gate and headed for the amusment park.

Silently, in the trees, someone ran back to report what they just saw.

"Well, kabuto?"
"You were right, Orochimaru-sama. His shakra is here and he is with the Kyuubi. Shall I gather some..."
"No.. no need. I think I'll pay Yondaime a... personal... visit." orochimaru smiled as he got up and headed for the door.
