Chapter Four: Admirer

Naruto-kun...

"I'll never give up! That's my way of the ninja!"

No matter what people said or did to you, you always held your head high.

"I'm going to be Hokage!"

You are strong. You are brave. You're everything I'm not.

"The Hyuuga have no future if YOUR the one inheritor."

I tried my best, always, but it was never good enough. Never...

That day I talked to you before your fight with Neji-niisan...

"I always thought you were dark and weird..."

Your words hurt me...

"But you know... I like people like you."

And gave me hope.

"Sakura-chan! Did you see that! Huh? Whaddya think?"

You tried hard for her to notice you. I tried hard for you to notice me.

"Hinata... what ever you do... if you go up against Neji... Don't fight him... Promise me Hinata..."

I was so scared. Neji was family. I love everyone in my family, but he had so much hate... and i didn't know why...

"Give up. Your so pathetic. Just give it up."

I wanted to... I never wanted to fight again... but... I didn't want to be pathetic. I wanted to be strong and brave. Like you. Then i heard something i thought i'd never hear.

"Go Hinata! Beat the crap out of him! You can do it Hinata!"

You had actaully called out my name. You had noticed me... for the very first time. That gave me courage.

"I CAN do this!"

That was all I thought about. That and the fact that you were watching me and cheering me on. It didn't matter that he was stronger then me and that he wanted me to die. I was going to prove myself to everybody and have them acknowledge me as the heir to the Hyuuga. I wasn't going to back down.

That is my way of the ninja.

The fight went on, and no matter how many times I fell... no matter how many times i thought it was hopeless, you were always there to call my name and give me support. I would either win, or die trying. That was my belief at the time. My way of the ninja.

This was it. I could barely move. his hand was coming in for the final strike. You called my name one last time...

"That's enough! I think we have a clear winner."

I opened my eyes. The jounin were holding him back. The last thing i remember was you leaning over me.

"Naruto-kun... did I... manage to change... even a little...?"

I always messed up during missions. I would trip and fall. I would mess up on attack. I would get a jutsu wrong. I would set off one of our traps. I started to think there was no hope for me. Then i would remember what you were like at the academy...

"NARUTO! That is not how you do the jutsu! Try it again! Concentrate on your chakra! Stop fooling around or you'll fail this class!"

"Naruto! Did you set off another trap? Go back and set it al up again! NOW!"

"What an idiot! Does he have two left feet or something?"

You would yell back or smile as if they didn't just insult you. I remember seeing you for the first time. You were like that.

"How can he do that? Doesn't he care that everyone is watching him? Won't his family think he's a disgrace?"

That was what i thought when i saw you fumbeling around. only after that did i learn you HAD no parents. That when i started looking up to you. Even after all the hard times and the things that people put you through, you still got up, smiled, laughed, retaliated. but i had no idea that that admiration would turn to...

Th... That's not important...
