So….before we go any more into the story I'll describe it more. Let's see, everything is almost the same. Their older so they are all Chunin and basically have all the techniques and jutsu from the manga/anime. And as some of you have noticed, some characters are very OOC. The story remains rated M for surprised in the future…he he he. Sayonara!
Chapter Eight: Making Up
Sauske stopped getting closer to me, he then stepped back and jumped away, I fell to my knees, breathing heavily. Kiba ran up to me and knelt down, "Hey, Hinata…are you okay?" he asked.
"Um…yeah, I'm fine Kiba." I said, "Just a little shock…and scared." He came up to me, then he gave me a warm comforting hug, "Don't worry, I'll protect you, anytime." He said. In his warm strong arms….I felt warm and safe…I didn't want to leave. "C'mon…let's get you home." He said, and then stood up. He walked toward my house…I followed him to my house. I walked to the front door; I smiled at him and waved good-bye. I was still shaking from what just happened, I walked to my room, closing the screen shut. I changed into my sleeping clothes, tucked myself into bed. I thought about what happened today…Kiba, then the little incident with Sauske…oh what to do. I laid in my bed, mind full of thoughts, doubts, and this and that. After hours and minutes of thinking, my mind finally drifted off into sleep. The Morning After I was being shaken, "Hinata-chan, wake up." Said one of the servants, "Hinata-chan!" I opened my eyes, "Hinata-chan, get ready Hokage-sama wants to see you." She said. When she left I lazily pulled myself out of bed, why would Hokage-sama want me at 6 in the morning? I crept into the bathroom and fell into the bath; I fell asleep in the warm water caressing my skin. There were three loud knocks on the door, "Hinata-chan hurry up please, Hokage-sama says its pretty urgent." She said. I woke up from my slumber in the tub and quietly but quickly took cleaned myself then got out and dressed. "Hurry Hinata-chan, she's waiting for you." She said. She led me to the door opened it and I walked off toward the Hokage building with half a rice ball in my mouth and several others in my hands, eating and walking half-asleep. When I got there Shino and Kiba were there, as well as Sauske, Sakura, and Naruto. "Okay, team Kurenai and team Kakashi are all here." Said Hokage-sama.
"Why did you call us hear so early?" asked Naruto who seemed to still be asleep.
"Both teams with be going on a mission…together." She said. The aura of the room changed; there was a shocked expression on everyone's face. "W-what, is the mission that hard that we'll need both teams?" asked Sakura.
"I guess so." Said Hokage-sama
"What's the mission then?" asked Shino
"Both teams will be going to Kumogakure and receive a scroll from their Raikage." She explained.
"What's this scroll for?" I asked
"This scroll is being given to the five great shinobi countries, basically it's a renewed peace treaty between Konohagakure and its allies with Kumogakure with its allies." She said.
"The Raikage wants to prevent what happened in Konohagakure in any of the other hidden villages." She said, "It's basically an alliance between the 5 great shinobi villages."
"Why would we need to ally the other villages, we easily warded off Orochimaru's attack on Konoha a while ago." Said Kiba.
"Yeah, but that day we lost a lot of ninja, ultimately losing military power." She said, "This alliance is so we and the other 4 great shinobi countries can keep the lesser shinobi countries in check."
"Also if one of the lesser shinobi countries were to attack, the other 4 would aid us in battle." She said, "Well that's how it's supposed to be planned."
"What if they betray us again…like what Sunagakure did." Said Sakura
"That is why we need the scroll, it contains all the terms and conditions of the alliance." She said, "It is important you come back with it undamaged."
"One damage could cause a mis-understanding and ruin the alliance." She said
"If it's that important why don't you send higher ranking ANBU or Jounin ninja?" I suggested.
"All of the Jounin and ANBU are already on other missions important to the village." She said, "And I'm sure a team of 6 Chunin is enough to bring it back safely." "Okay, you guys will be leaving this afternoon; you'll have 4 days to get to Kumogakure and 3 days to get back." She said.
"I suggest you 6 start packing and getting ready for the mission, the village's safety depends on it." She said. She then dismissed us and we were all off to our individual homes to get ready for the upcoming mission. Back at Hokage-sama's room "Do you think it's a good idea to send them on such an important mission?" asked Shizune, "You know both teams have been having conflict with each other."
"I know, but this mission is special." She said, "The little story I gave them was just like the instructions to a test."
"So what you're saying is that this isn't a real mission." Said Shizune.
"Nope, it's just a test." She said, "Both teams have been acting badly and failing their previous missions."
"So this is a test whether they can get it together to complete a complex task." Said Shizune, "What about the enemy ninja?"
"Oh those will just be the ANBU and Jounin of the village disguised as enemy ninja." Said Hokage-sama
"So it will be like a mini Chunin Exam." Said Shizune
"Yeah…sort of like that." Said Hokage-sama
"I just hope this 'test' knocks some sense into them." Said Hokage-sama, "This is not the way ninja from the same village should treat each other."
"What if they actually make it to Kumogakure?" asked Shizune
"They won't, the ANBU and Jounin will make sure of it." Said Hokage-sama, "Let's just hope this test comes back satisfactory." Back to Hinata I arrive at home awhile ago, I hap already packed about five days worth of clothes, but we were staying there for a week right? I quickly went back into the closet and shoveled out more clothes. I then went to the bathroom to get some medical supplies that we might need during the mission. Hm…what else do I need, oh yeah food, I went to the kitchen packing some rice, dried meats, and nori to make simple rice balls. It was already 11 am, so I already got my stuff and went out. I should eat before I leave for the mission. I passed by Ichiraku getting a whiff of several flavors of ramen which made my stomach rumble. I went inside, Naruto was there, and I took a seat two seats away from Naruto. "What would you like?" asked the old man.
"Miso Ramen please." I said
"Hai." He replied. I slightly glanced at Naruto, and then glanced away. He was slowly gobbling down some ramen, not in the usual way where he would gulp down bowl by bowl. The old man gave me my ramen, "Thank you." I said, "Itadakimasu." I parted the wooden chop sticks then started picking the toppings off the ramen. "I got your letter." Said Naruto. The letter…but I didn't finish it yet? "I guess I'm like that…always acting abrupt, doing before thinking." He said. I shoveled more toppings into my mouth, "I'm sorry." He said, "I was going to say sorry at first, if you came to Ichiraku that day." "But then you didn't come, then Sakura said you hurt her and Sauske for now reason." He said, "But then Sauske told me, that you were only protecting yourself." I started on the noodles, "I guess it's a bad habit for me, not to think first before I act." He said.
"It's okay…Naruto." I said.
"Huh?" he replied, there was a surprised look on his face.
"I've always…admired you for it." I said, "You were always strong, never running away, never thinking." "But I, when I thought I never thought that I could do it." I said, "Then I ran away. "But…I eventually found the strength in myself." I said, "Then I could firmly plant my feet in the ground, not running away, to protect the people I love." I drank the broth of my ramen, "Just don't worry Naruto." I said, "I forgive you." Wow…I said all those words without stuttering….not one bit. "C'mon Naruto, their probably waiting for us." I left the money on the counter and grabbed his arm and we walked toward the village gates. When we arrived Kiba, Shino, Sakura, and Sauske were already there. I walked up to Kiba, "Sorry I'm late." I said.
"It's okay." He said giving me a smile, I smiled at him back.
"Okay let's start this mission!" Shouted Naruto enthusiastically.
"Let's go!" I shouted after him. Sakura gave me an annoyed look full of evil and discontent. I didn't dare look at Sauske; he might take it the wrong way…again. I hope this mission come out a success.
Aw…Hinata and Naruto made up lol.So I have decided on my next story after this one is over. It will be ShikaxHina which should be good right? I also might make a sequel to this, which I shall describe later.
