Chapter Nine: Breakfast at Hinata's.

"It's about that time." Orochimaru said smiling.
"yes it is, Orochimaru-sama." Answered kabuto plainly.
"I would like to see Yondaime before the jutsu wears off." Said Orochimaru getting up from his chair.
"If we leave now, we can get there about tomorrow..." Kabuto trailed off. Orochimaru widened his smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some how, Yondaime decided it was his turn to get breakfast. (when in reality all he wanted to do was go into town again). They were at about the middle of the town when he stopped and looked up at the monument.
"I can't believe they put my face up there."
"yeah, it certainly is an ugly smug, isn't it?" said naruto jokingly. Arashi turned to him and hit him on the head.
"Ne! What'd i do!" Arashi just shook his head and rolled his eyes. Hinata like seeing these two act like this. It was comforting to see them act of if nothing bad has ever happened. Act as if Arashi wasn't dead.
"what idiots..." Gaara said under his breath. hinata giggeled and Arashi gave him a noogy.
"But we're fun idiots aren't we?" he asked smiling, gaara still under his arm. Gaara looked away and replied with a small "I guess..."
"Ne ne! can we go to the ramen ba..." But before he could finish Yondaime and Gaara both looked at him (gaara still under his arm) and said a very straight forward "no." naruto just folded his arms and looked away.
"Act... actaully... my father... invited you over... for... breakfast..." said Hinata quietly. Yondaime turned and looked over at her with a surprised look on his face and Gaara heaved his arm off from around him. Yondaime then smiled.
"ok! Then it's off to the Hyuuga house!"

When they arrived they were surprised to see Neji waiting outside for them.
"Long time no see naruto."
"Hey! Neji! How have you been!" Asked naruto arroaching him.
"Better." 'thanks to you.' but he wouldn't say the last part aloud, knowing Naruto's ego.
"Were you waiting for us Neji-niisan?" asked Hinata.
"yeah. they already have breakfast all laid out, so you can go in and eat." They began to file in but Neji pulled naruto back.
"naruto-kun, are you aware of how my cousin feels about you?" He asked in all seriousness, looking naruto straight in to eye. naruto to got a serious look on his face.
"Y... yeah... I'm still trying to figure out why." he said jokingly.
"Don't joke naruto." said neji, still looking him in the eye. "If you do anything, and i mean anything, to hurt her in anyway, I'll..." naruto laughed. then he smiled at Neji.
"Never thought i'd here you defending her after the chuunin exams." He said smiling with a little harshness in his voice. "Don't worry," he said in a lighter tone. "I would never dream of hurting her in any way. Now can we go in? I'm really hungrey!" and at that moment his stomach growled in agreement. Neji closed his eyes and smiled.
"Ok, let's go in."

When they sat down Yondaime and Hinata's father were in a, what seemed like, a deep conversation. Naruto sat down next to Hinata and Neji, next to Gaara (who was eating chocolate which somehow had been set out wih the rest of the breakfast foods).
"Ne, hinata-chan. what are they talking about?" naruto asked pointing to the men. Hinata just looked at him and blushed a little.
"ano... uh... no... nothing..." naruto just looked at her. It must have been something because the last time she said ano was before he and Yondaime's "little" fued. naruto thoght about all the things they could be talking about. They could be talking about th recent attack. The Hokage's. Recent fuel price incress... then naruto thought... 'whats fuel?' He then shook his head to get the thought out. He spent the remainder of the breakfast (which he had ramen) still trying to figure it out.
When they set out to leave, Yondaime thanked Hinata's father and they left. naruto caught up with Yondaime and asked the question he had been dieing to ask all breakfast.
"What the hell were you guys talking about!" Yondaime looked at him inoocently surprised and said.
"Nothing... Nothing..." he said simply, smiling.

----- What they were talking about---------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Hinata really likes naruto?" Asked Hiashi.
"Oh yeah. that poor idiotic boy. Doesn't even realize it." said Yondaime saking his head. Hiashi just looked over at Naruto and Hinata, thinking. naruto just said a joke or something stupid. gaara had smirked, Neji laughed silently, and hinata giggeled. hiashi sighed.
"I guess there's nothing i can do about it? Even Neji is happy around him."
"Can you blame them? naruto is just that kind of person. I'm sure if you were given an hour... 30 mi... 10 minutes, you would be as light hearted as them." hiashi just shook his head, not in disagreement, but in acknowledgement.
"Well, then, Hinata has my blessing." he said sipping his tea. Arashi laughed.
"Oh come on, your not giving her away to marry him... yet..." Arashi added as a side note and hiashi choked slightly on his tea. Arashi patted him on the back and laughed.
"So, what about that sky today. talk about blue." Arashi sadi smiling. hiashi just looked at him and sighed. 'What will be will be I guess.' he thought. He and Yondaime then talked about pointless little things such as: the recent attack, the hokage's, and the recent fuel price incress. After a moment silence the wondered what fuel was and then just shook it off.
