Chapter begin

Tsunade and a reluctant Jiraya continued for the Hyuuga manor by the north trail. "Tsunade do I really need to come too?" whined Jiraya who was literally being dragged along.

"Yes you do. Who else would I use as my human shield when Hiashi throws a tantrum?" Tsunade says looking over her shoulder at Jiraya.

At first Jiraya thought she was joking, but when he looked into her eyes he saw she was serious. 'OH CRAP! WHY ME? I MIGHT AS WELL BE ON THE EXECUTIONERS BLOCK WITH OROCHIMARU!' thought Jiraya.

When Tsunade saw the absolute terror on Jiraya's face, she turned away smiling as she continued down the path with a hand full of Jiraya's shirt. 'He thought I was serious. Man my poker face is getting good.' Tsunade thought to herself.

Tsunade kept going on dragging Jiraya (who was trying to get help from a higher power by preying) for another 20 minutes till they reached the gates to the Hyuuga manor. A guard then approached Tsunade from the other side.

"State your names and your business." said the guard.

"I am Tsunade the 5th Hokage, and I'm here to speak with Hiashi." said Tsunade.

"And I am Jiraya and I'm being held against my will. HELP!" said Jiraya.

"Sorry sir, but the Hokage is of higher rank then you. And she probably has a good reason for taking you." replied the guard. He then opened the gate and said "Welcome to the Hyuuga Manor. I will alert Lord Hiashi of your arrival." And with that, he bowed and vanished.

"You know you really abuse your power." Jiraya pouted.

"Will you quit your whining?" Tsunade asked looking down at him.

"Well I'm just saying you really pick on people, like me." Jiraya says crossing his arms.

Tsunade frowned again for she was really getting frustrated with him. "Your a little low in the ranks to be mouthing off." said an annoyed Tsunade.

Jiraya looks at her angrily as he points a finger, "Well you're a little old to be picking on me like this. Will you ever grow u..." but was interrupted by an infuriated Tsunade.

"I AM NOT OLD!"

Inside the Hyuuga Manor on the top floor

Hiashi was relaxing in his office for it was a rare day that he had time to. "What a wonderful day." Hiashi says to himself. Then the guard appeared next to him.

"Lord Hiashi. Lord Hokage and Lord Jiraya are here to speak with you." The guard reported.

Hiashi was a little annoyed at first but then remembered what his guard had just told him.

"Tsunade and Jiraya? What could they want? Let them in." Hiashi says to his guard. The guard bows and walks out of the room.

Hiashi walks over to the window to see Tsunade and Jiraya sitting at the front gate. Hiashi knew Jiraya didn't want to be here for he was sitting down next to Tsunade and they seemed to be yelling at each other. Then to Hiashi surprise...well not really, Tsunade smacked Jiraya on the head which sent his face straight to the ground.

'Poor Jiraya.' Hiashi thought.

Back outside

The guard reappeared just in time to see Tsunade snap.

"I AM NOT OLD!" exploded Tsunade as she smacked Jiraya on the head which sent his face straight to the dirt.

Tsunade then realized that the guard had returned. When she looked at him he then remembered why he was out there.

"Oh right. Lord Hiashi will see you now." The guard says chuckling nervously. 'I really hope I don't end up like him.' The guard thought as he looked at Jiraya who hadn't moved except when his fingers twitched.

"Oh good. We'll be heading in then." Tsunade says as she grabs Jiraya by the back of his collar and begins to drag him to the door.

But she didn't get far before Jiraya grabbed the guards leg in a desperate attempt to get out of his situation. "Don't let her take me in there! Help me!" cried Jiraya.

The guard only gave Jiraya a confused look and tried to shake Jiraya off his leg.

"SHUT UP!" Tsunade exploded getting tired of Jiraya's whining.

She then gripped Jiraya's shirt tightly and tossed him at least 50 feet face first into the wall next to the front door. Jiraya then slowly slides down the wall until he was laying his stomach.

"While your there, hit the door bell would ya?" Tsunade ordered smirking as she began to walk towards the door and Jiraya.

Jiraya then lifted his shaky hand to hit the door bell. Tsunade reached the door and picked Jiraya up by the back of his shirt, placing him on his feet.

"Well old or not you still have one hell of an arm." Jiraya says dusting himself off.

Then the door swung open to reveal Hinata at the door. Tsunade tried to keep herself from smiling too much but couldn't help it. She could only imagine Naruto's face when he sees how much Hinata has changed. She had matured in more ways then one. She wasn't as shy as before and had really built a lot of confidence in herself. Also she had a much more matured figure and Hinata knew it for she began to where more clothes that showed off her figure instead of hiding it in a big jacket that she used to wear.

"Oh Lord Hokage. What brings you here?" Hinata asks.

"Oh yes Hinata. We're here to speak with your father. Do you know where he is?" Tsunade says snapping back to reality.

"Yes he's in his office on the top floor." Hinata says nodding.

Tsunade nodded heading for the stairs with Jiraya not far behind. Hinata was about to close the door when she saw something that left her frozen.

With Naruto

Just as Tsunade and Jiraya had went inside, Naruto had reached the front gate. He then tried to open the gate door but found out it was lock.

"State your name and your business." The guard says returning to his post.

"My name is Naruto and I've come to speak to Hinata." Naruto says looking at him.

"Sorry but I can't let you in unless she says so. I'll be right back." The guard replies. He then turned around to see Hinata in the door way, Naruto saw her as well.

'WOW! She's beautiful. OH WAIT, HOW'S MY HAIR? AND HOW'S MY BREATH?' A frantic Naruto thought as he tried to fix his hair and checked his breath which smelt fine.

"Miss Hinata, a boy named Naruto has requested permission to speak with you." The guard asks walking up to Hinata.

This snapped Hinata back to reality as she was able to look away from Naruto. "Oh...Yes let him in." Hinata replied.

The guard bowed and went back to the gate. When he reached it he pulled out a key and unlocked the gate and said "Welcome to the Hyuuga Manor. Miss Hinata is at the door waiting for you."

Naruto nodded without taking his eye's off Hinata. He then began to walk towards the front door and Hinata. 'Wow she sure has changed. I wonder if she still likes me. I mean that story Iuka sensei told me was 6 months old or so. She sure is pretty. I can't believe I didn't notice her before. Oh crap! What am I gonna say to her? Maybe I should just try and start a conversation. Yeah I'll do that.'

Hinata watched as Naruto walked right towards her. 'I can't believe he's back. And now he wants to talk to me. But about what? Oh god how's my hair?' thought Hinata.

Naruto had made it to the door and was standing in front of Hinata.

"Oh N..Naruto. What b..bring y..you here?" asked Hinata. 'Oh no I'm stuttering.' thought Hinata as she began to blush from embarrassment but Naruto didn't notice.

"Oh well I...Well I just got back and...I was just in the neighborhood and...so I thought I might say hi." replied Naruto as he laughed nervously. 'SAY HI! THAT'S THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH?" thought Naruto as he scowled himself.

"Oh. Well it's good to see you." Hinata says frowning.

"Yeah you too...Ummmmm. Want to go for a walk?" asked Naruto. 'A WALK. THAT'S PERFECT!' thought Naruto as he had made up for his stupidity from before.

Hinata blushed madly as Naruto suggested that. 'A walk? That's one of the first steps.' thought Hinata as she remembered what she read from a teen magazine that she borrowed off of Sakura. "Y..yes I would." Hinata replied.

She then began to lead them to the garden. 'Quick Hinata. Start a conversation. But about what...Oh I know.' thought Hinata. "S..so Naruto. Was your mission a s..sucess?" asked Hinata.

This brought a big smile to Naruto's face. "It sure was. And along with Sauske we caught another big prize." replied Naruto.

This brought a confused look on Hinata's face. "W..what do you m..mean?" asked Hinata.

"Well...We caught none other then the one that took Sasuke from us in the first place." replied Naruto.

Hinata thought for a moment and then it hit her. "Orochimaru?" asked Hinata.

Naruto grinned and nodded. 'WOW! AND I THOUGHT HE WAS GREAT BEFORE. But wait. Once the village hears of this then all the other girls will want him. Should I tell him now?' Hinata questioned mentally.

Then one of the maids came out and ran up to Hinata. "Miss Hinata, your father requests your attendance in his office."

'WHAT? I FINALLY GET TO TALK TO NARUTO AND MY FATHER WANTS ME? HE NEVER WANTS ME. ITS ALWAYS MY SISTER HE WANTS!' thought a furious Hinata. She then let out a sigh and said "Alright. I'll be right there."

Then the maid grabbed her hand and said "No he wants you now. Let's go." The maid then proceeded to drag Hinata to the house.

Naruto then noticed Hinata going away and started panicking. 'Oh no! What should I do? AAARRRGH!' grunted Naruto mentally as he began to bring up his courage. "Hinata." called out Naruto.

Hinata then turned around. "Can I please have a moment?" Hinata asks the maid.

The maid let out a 'humph', "Alright, but make it quick." The maid says.

"Y..yes Naruto?" Hinata asked walking towards Naruto.

Naruto was beginning to sweat and blush as he started. "Well. You see...I was just wondering...If you're not busy tomorrow night...that you know...we could get some ramen."

"Naruto? Are you asking me out on a...date?" Hinata asked blushing.

"Yes." said Naruto quickly as his face was complete flushed.

Hinata's whole world was brightened as she quickly replied "YES! I..I mean, I'd l..love t..to." Hinata quickly replied as her whole world brightened up.

"Great! So I'll pick you up at around 7:00?" He says smiling, feeling like the entire world was lifted off his shoulders.

"Sure. 7's g..great." She says nodding.

"Alright then. See you then. Bye." He says smiling.

Hinata then remembered her father and said, "Good bye." As she walked back into the house with the maid.

Naruto stood there for a minute and thought about what just happened. "A date. My first date." Naruto said to himself.

He then smiled and started to walk towards the gate but his excitement was too much and he began to run. He whizzed right past the gate and was heading home.

"YEAH! I GOT A DATE! NOTHING COULD RUIN THIS DAY!" Naruto shouted from joy.

He then noticed someone running towards him. As it got closer he could see it was none other than Shikamaru.

'Shikamaru? What's he doing here?' Naruto wondered as he watched Shikamaru run up to him

"Naruto!" Shikamaru cried out. Shikamaru was now standing in front of Naruto.

"Shikamru what is it?" asked Naruto.

"It's Sasuke!" said Shikamru.

Naruto's face was suddenly serious. "What? Did he escape?" asked Naruto.

"No...It's worse. The council has just decided that Sasuke is to be...to be executed 3 days from now." Shikamaru says shaking his head.
