Konoha's Yellow Storm

Chapter 8: Dinner, games, and grave robbing?

Everyone in the carriage sat in silence, their eyes all directed at Naruto, who was busy staring off into the sky. Everyone scowled at once, those darn sunglasses were hiding just what exactly was going threw the mind of the usually loud mouthed boy. But it seemed that now, the boy they remembered had grown into a man in just a few short days. However, one person in the carriage was tired of the silence had decided to break the ice.

"So, Hokage-sama, Kakashi-sensei, how exactly did you get invited to this little party of ours?" Sakura asked eyeing them both suspiciously."

"To be honest Sakura, we aren't even sure why we are here. All I know is that I received a letter from Naruto saying that he was making a personal request for myself and Kakashi here to join you all this evening. And to be honest, to turn down such an invitation would have been very rude, right Kakashi?" Tsunade said looking at the silver haired ninja next to her.

Tsunade sweat-dropped when she saw that Kakashi was paying no attention to her, he just had a bored look on his face and he was reading those damned perverted books of his! Tsunade snapped and gave Kakashi a few hits on the head before snatching the book away and using a jutsu to make the book go straight to her office. Kakashi just sighed and looked out the window.

Hinata was busy staring at Naruto and suddenly an image of him naked ran threw her mind. She let out a quiet yelp as a small bit of blood began to drip down her nose…

Before anyone even noticed that Hinata had made a noise, Naruto was kneeling in front of her with a tissue and was wiping the blood away gently. He asked if she was ok and she nodded her head quickly blushing horribly at his actions.

This chain of events didn't go unnoticed by anyone in the carriage, what Naruto just did was incredible. Kakashi predicted that Naruto moved at a speed ten times faster than his own when he was trying his hardest. Before anyone of them could ask Naruto the obvious question, the carriage came to a stop.

Naruto opened the door and jumped out with a smile on his face, he outstretched his hand and said in a magical voice, "Welcome to the best restaurant in all of Konoha, The Blue Sage Restaurant!"

When Naruto said it was the best restaurant in all of Konoha, he wasn't kidding. This place was huge! Everyone's breath was taken away, all of them had heard of this place, but it was near impossible to get reservations, and as if that wasn't bad enough, this place could rob you of all your money in about two minuets flat! Everyone looked at Naruto with stars in their eyes. If he managed to pull this off, he was a miracle worker to say the least.

Slowly, everyone got out of the carriage and walked down the blue carpet that laid the path to the restaurant. They were stopped at the door by a big muscle man that asked them if they had reservations.

"Naruto, party of nine for the private table, Naruto said with a smile that beat all other smiles."

The man looked at his list for a second and then eyed the boy. He asked for identification and Naruto flashed him his ninja I.D card. The man looked it over and opened the door for them.

"Good evening Mr. Naruto and welcome to the Blue Sage!" The big man said as they all entered the restaurant.

The restaurant was laid out in a very romantic fashion, the lights were dim and everything was blue from the carpets to the tablecloths. A waiter came up and directed them all to a large table near the stage that said, "reserved" on it. Everyone took his or her seats.

The seating arrangements went as follows: (The table is round)

To Naruto's left is Sakura; to Naruto's right is Hinata.

To Sakura's left is Sasuke; to Sakura's right is Naruto.

To Hinata's left is Naruto; to Hinata's right is Neji.

To Sasuke's left is Kakashi; to Sasuke's right is Sakura.

To Neji's left is Hinata; to Neji's right is Ten-Ten.

To Kakashi's left is Tsunade; to Kakashi's right is Sasuke.

To Ten-Ten's left is Neji; to Ten-Ten's right is Lee.

To Tsunade's left is Lee; to Tsunade's right is Kakashi.

To Lee's left is Ten-Ten; to Lee's right is Tsunade.

A waiter came up and took their orders for drinks and gave them a choice between soup or salad. All the girls choose the salad and all the boys chose the soup. Tsunade ordered a bottle of sake to have a little bit of "fun" with the group of teens. The waiter came back a few minuets later and game out the drinks and soups and salads. The waiter walked up to Tsunade and showed her the bottle of very expensive sake wanting to know if it was ok. She nodded yes and asked that everyone be given a glass for some. The waiter just gave her a strange look and did as he was told.

She poured a glass of sake for everyone except for Lee who declined saying that when he drank bad things happened. Everyone eyed the glasses curiously and it brought a big smile to everyone's faces when they all drank some. Everyone had pretty much had the same surprised expression at how good it was, but it didn't take long for the alcohol to kick in. A faint blush spread across everyone's cheeks except for Tsunade, Kakashi, and Naruto. Tsunade looked over at Naruto to see that he hadn't had a drink.

"Is something wrong Naruto?" Tsunade asked looking at the boy carefully.

"This stuff…. is poison…a horrible poison for the body…I will not drink it…" Naruto said staring at the glass before him.

Everyone looked at him shocked; they never expected him of all people to react that way to it. They all looked at the glasses and pushed them away, the buzz they had from the drink gone in an instant. They all sat in silence for a few minuets as they ate their soups and salads. Just as they had finished a band came on the stage and began to play soft jazz music. The waiter came back up and cleared away the bowls and plates and glasses. He brought back refills for their drinks and asked them what they would like for their main course.

Everyone ordered what he or she wanted and the waiter left…

"So, how are we going to break up the bill I wonder?" Tsunade asked which made everyone look up.

"What the hell are you talking about old hag? I'm paying for the food, this was my way of thanking everyone for helping me clean up my house, so you better stop thinking about how to pay for the food and start thinking about how to enjoy it…" Naruto said with a grin on his face.

Tsunade twitched at being called an old hag, but let it go as to not cause a scene. Everyone began to chat engrossed in his or her own conversations and Naruto looked around at everyone. He was glad to see that everyone was having a good time. His eyes finally stopped on the girl to his right, Hinata…she truly was beautiful, he hadn't noticed her much in the past, but the years had been good to her body, she had grown into a beautiful women and the dress she wore was really showing it. What was this feeling inside of him? It made his heart tighten up and it brought a weird feeling to his stomach. It was about that time that Hinata noticed Naruto was staring at her and she immediately looked down and blushed. Naruto was about to say something when the waiter came back with their food.

The food was served and everyone began to eat. Tsunade expected Naruto to cause a scene and begin to eat like a wild animal, but he surprised her. He calmly took his napkin and placed in on his lap, picked up a fork and knife, and began to eat slowly. Tsunade smiled; maybe his merging with the Kyubi wasn't such a bad thing after all. It had apparently taught him how to act more civilized thought she didn't see how that worked.

The jazz band began to play another song and it made Naruto close his eyes. The song was soft and almost sad, his body began to rock with the music and everyone watched him amazed, they had no idea he liked music so much, what he did next shocked them all. He calmly took his napkin off his lap and placed it on the table, he then stood to his feet and walked up to the stage, he caught the attention of the band leader and whispered something into his ear, the man's eyes widened and he nodded to the young man. Naruto climbed up on stage and walked over to a man holding a violin. He whispered something into his ear and the man gave him the violin and stepped back. The entire band left the stage and Naruto walked up to the microphone on its stand at center stage.

Naruto leaned towards the microphone and said, "This one's for my wonder friends with whom I have enjoyed a great dinner with." With that being said, Naruto put the violin to his cheek and put the bow across the strings.

Everyone looked at him amazed, to the best of their knowledge, none of them knew he could play an instrument and they thought he was going to make a fool out of himself. Tsunade was about to call out to him but he began to play. The entire group was stunned; the music that came from the violin was incredible! Never, had any of them ever heard such sweet music before. The group began to look around the room and saw couples holding onto each other as they watched the young man on stage and listened to the heavenly sound coming from the violin.

When Naruto finished his song he took a bow and everyone rose to his or her feet clapping. No one could see due to his sunglasses, but if they could they would have seen shock in his eyes. He smiled and bowed again as the band came back clapping. Naruto handed the man his violin and thanked them all as he got off the stage. He went back to the table and everyone was just stunned to silence. Naruto just simply smiled at them. At that point the waiter asked them if they wanted dessert and they all politely declined. The waiter then handed Naruto the check and walked away. Naruto looked at the check and his smile disappeared, and was placed with a look of shock. Tsunade felt horrible thinking that he bill was much to expensive for the boy so she grabbed the check out of his hands and read it, the writing went something like this…

For giving such a great performance and entertaining our guests with your wonderful music, the check for your meals is on the house tonight. Also, if you are ever in need of a job you can always come here and join the band, we will always have a place for you. The Manager

Tsunade smiled at the boy who still had a look of shock on his face. "You did a great job Naruto, you deserve this…" With that she stood to her feet, as did everyone else. The all walked out and got into the carriage. Almost the entire way home, Naruto was looking out the window deep in thought.

"D…do you guys want to have a sleepover at my house? I would really enjoy the company, its gets pretty lonely living alone all the time…" Naruto said, a faint blush spreading across his face.

Everyone thought about it and agreed. But Naruto made sure that none of them told their parents that they were going to his house to spend the night, that it would only cause trouble. They all agreed and they decided that they would say they were having a sleepover at Ino's. (Poor Ino…) They arrived at Naruto's home and they all got out. Tsunade and Kakashi thanked Naruto for the wonderful time and politely went their separate ways. Everyone went home to change and bring clothes for the sleepover. Hinata and Neji went to their apartment to make sure their belongings were there. After about an hour, everyone was back and Naruto let them in.

Everyone came in and Naruto smiled at them all, he was glad that he finally had some true friends. Everyone looked around at the handiwork that they had done and then their eyes went to the center of his living room. There it was, the item that stuck fear into all of their hearts… The bottle for truth and dare… Naruto grinned at them and "dared" them to come sit in a circle. With a bit of tension forming in the air they all took their seats around one another and looked to Naruto for directions.

"This is normal truth or dare guys, spin the bottle and ask the person truth or dare, then figure something out." Naruto said with a very playful grin on his face.

"Since this is my house I will do the honors of spinning first," Naruto said as he spun the bottle. It went round and round until it landed on Sasuke.

Sasuke looked away and Naruto asked him truth or dare. Sasuke immediately said something he was going to regret, he choose dare. (Sounds of impending doom in the background…grins)

"I dare you to kiss Lee on the lips!" Naruto said triumphantly.

Everyone in the room paused, Hinata blushed, Neji laughed, Sakura shot death glares at Naruto, Ten-Ten giggled, Lee looked like he had gone into shock as did Sasuke. Slowly, Sasuke came to and leaned over towards Lee, Lee tried to back away but it was too late, their lips touched and they both quickly pulled away wiping their mouths clean, one thing was for sure, Naruto was going to pay… Sasuke grumbled at he spun the bottle.

It went round and round until it landed on Ten-Ten, she looked at him shocked as he casually asked her truth of dare. She thought about it for a minuet before she said truth carefully. Sasuke thought about it and asked her what was the dirtiest thing she had ever done. At this everyone looked at her with anxious eyes. She had a look of fear in her eyes and then she got an idea. She leaned over and whispered something into Sasuke's ear that made him blush and look away. Everyone looked at her for an explanation and she calmly explained that he didn't say that she had to say it aloud. Everyone complained but they knew it was true so they let it go as she spun the bottle. It went round and round until it landed on Neji. She blushed slightly as she asked him truth or dare.

He thought about it calmly and decided to be bold and go for dare. She thought about it for a few minuets and then she grinned at him. I dare you to play the rest of the game in nothing but your underwear. Everyone laughed at this and Neji simply grunted and began to strip. All the girls started whistling and whooping, which made him blush. These events fueled the fire more and the boys roared with laughter. Neji grunted again and spun the bottle hard. It went round and round and round (dizzy…) until it landed on Sakura. He asked her truth or dare and she quickly choose truth. The genius thought about it for a moment then he asked her to tell the whole group her most embarrassing moment. She thought about it and told them about the time when she had just bought a new dress and the first day she wore it she slipped and fell in the mud in front of a huge group of people who laughed as they helped her up. Satisfied that her answer was good enough, she took the bottle and spun it, and it went all the way around and landed on Hinata.

Sakura asked her truth or dare and unsurprisingly, she choose truth. Sakura grinned and told her that she had to tell the group if she had ever done anything perverted. Hinata's blood ran cold, she couldn't tell them, not with Naruto present. He would surely hate her for what she had done. She began to sweat and everyone suddenly became very interested in this turn of events. They all leaned in and told her to spit it out.

"I…I…l…looked…a.a…at s…someone w…while they w…were c…changing…an..and i..i saw them n..nake…naked…." She said blushing so much that they were afraid she was going to faint.

They wanted to know badly who the person was but they knew it was Hinata's turn. She spun the bottle and it landed on Lee. She asked him truth or dare and he choose dare. She thought about it and dared him to forfeit his next turn so it would keep Naruto safe, this plan backfired though, because Lee got to spin twice to see who got to ask truth or dare and who had to receive it. His first spin said that Sasuke had to ask the truth or dare and the second spin said that Hinata had to receive it. Hinata knew what was coming if she said truth so she went for a dare. Sasuke grinned and dared her to tell the whole group who she looked upon while they were naked.

Hinata couldn't believe it, she had fallen into a trap that had no outs, even if she accepted a truth now it would be the same thing in the form of a truth. She bowed her head and whispered out Naruto's name in shame. The room went dead silent and all eyes went between Hinata and Naruto. Tears formed at Hinata's eyes and she ran out of the room crying.

Naruto stood up and glared at Sasuke saying, "That was taking it too far Sasuke…." He then ran out after Hinata.

Everyone in the room fell dead silent feeling guilty for wanting to know so bad that they wouldn't even take Hinata's feelings into consideration. They hoped that Naruto would be able to convince her to come back, little did they know just how much was going on outside…

Hinata had no idea where she was going to go, she just knew that she wanted to run to a place where no one could find her. She was almost out of sight of the house when she looked back to see Naruto chasing after her. Fearing that he was angry with her she sped up and turned a corner, she looked back to see if he had caught up and she tripped on a rock which made her hit the ground hard and slide a bit. She winced in pain as she saw a shadow standing over top of her. The figure bent down and helped her sit up. She looked at the person and it was who she feared it was, she was looking into the fox like eyes of Naruto.

"Hinata…" Naruto said softly trying to rest his hand on her arm only to have it slapped away.

"How can you even look at me after what I did to you? I invaded your privacy after you had been so nice to me and Neji and now…now…" Hinata broke down and sobbed hard, her entire body racking with the shakes.

She gasped as she felt herself pulled into a warm embrace, the tears stopped for a moment when she heard his soft voice say…

"Its okay Hinata…I mean, its not as if you looked in that hole just to see me naked, you were just curious. There is no shame in this, you just happened to be looking in the wrong place at the wrong time." Naruto said holding her as close as he could.

At this comment, Hinata broke down again and sobbed into his shirt crying out that she was sorry over and over again. Naruto held her and stroked her hair gently whispering to her that it was ok and gently going "shhh…"

After a few minuets of this, Naruto noticed that Hinata had stopped crying and he looked down at her. She was fast asleep in his arms. He picked her up bridal style and began to walk back towards his home. He kicked open the door and everyone looked at him and her shocked. He didn't have time to deal with them so he began to bark out orders, they went as follows:

Neji was to grab some of his healing cream to cover her cuts and scrapes.

Sakura was asked to go into his bathroom and get some rubbing alcohol to clean the wounds.

Ten-Ten and lee were asked to grab some blankets off the couch and bring them to his room.

Sasuke was asked to go to hell for taking the game too far…(A/N: Laughs at Sasuke)

Everyone rushed off to do what they were ordered to do except for Sasuke who was in no mood to go to hell… After about four minuets her wounds were cleaned and covered with healing cream. Naruto set her down gently in his bed and they all helped cover her shaking body with blankets. After all this had been done and Hinata was comfortable enough, Naruto asked them to go into the living room and do whatever they wanted until they were ready for bed. They all nodded and went out of the room closing the door behind them softly.

Naruto got down on his knees and took her hand in both of his own, he placed his cheek against their hands and let his eyes grow heavy, after a few short minuets he was asleep. The rest of the group stayed up for about another half hour discussing how they were going to apologize to Hinata for taking the game to far with her, after they came up with a great idea they all went to bed…

At the Hokage's Manor

"You want us to do what?" The ANBU guards asked Tsunade not quite sure that they heard what they thought they did.

"I want you to dig up the graves of Naruto's parents and bring me their ninja headbands, I then what you to lay them back to rest just like they were." Tsunade said, making sure to choose her words carefully.

"So basically, you want us to dig up the graves of the forth and his wife? Shouldn't an undertaker do these things so it doesn't seem suspicious?" The ANBU asked also choosing their words carefully.

"The undertaker has already taken off for the day and I am not going to ask him to come back to work at this hour, this is a direct order from me and I expect it to be done within the next two hours am I understood?"

All of the ANBU reluctantly agreed to the task and set off towards the graveyard. At this Tsunade leaned back in her chair and sighed saying…

"Naruto…I hope you understand why I am doing this…I don't want you to be angry with me, I just want you to have what rightfully belongs to you, also…I think its about time I showed you that tape…"

Having said this she stood to her feet and walked to the bookshelves. She traced her fingers along the books and found the video hidden behind some old books of poems. She set the tape on her desk and decided to go to bed, she would summon him in the morning and explain everything to him. She left a post-it note (God I love those things…) on the door to her office telling the guards to put the headbands next to the video and lock the door as they left. The ANBU got back, read the note, did as they were ordered and went home, all of Kohona was now sleeping peacefully, for tomorrow was going to be a big day and they would all need their sleep….
