Chapter Eight: Gone For Now
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So he put up a struggle and you guys didn't manage to stop him?" Tsunade asked before letting out a big sigh.
"Yes... but I don't think that he left the village just yet." Kakashi reported.
"Really... well everyone one that is can still fight get a good nights rest, because you're going after him in the morning."
"But, Tsunade-sama..." Kurenai didn't finish, because Tsunade glared at her, "Never mind."
Konoha Hosipital
Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Neji, Kiba and Akamaru were walking in the hall of the hospital, going to pay a visit to their wounded friends.
"I can't believe that Naruto would do this something like that." Sakura said, after being informed by Ino, about what happened, "So he just beat everyone up?"
"Yeah... that wasn't the same goof-ball Naruto; he was different... he was more like a demon like." Ino responded.
"I wonder why."
"How could I just let him do that to me?" Kiba thought as he got clips of how Naruto beat him so easily.
"That Naruto..., I ought to." Sakura grunted.
"Why is it that they're speaking down about Naruto-kun already? Don't they know that he could have easily finished us all off but didn't" Hinata defended Naruto in her mind.
"If he got so much power, than he should use it to bring back Sasuke-kun, that... Naruto…!" Sakura shouted.
"Hey yeah he should!" Ino realized and joined Sakura in belittling Naruto, "That punk, Naruto!"
They continued to spit their rude words, until Hinata couldn't take their words anymore, "Who are you two to talk about Naruto-kun that way!" Hinata shouted, "It's not like he has a choice."
The two became silent Neji, Akamaru and Kiba remind silent as he listened to the girl's conversation, "What do you mean, Hinata?" Ino asked a little enraged because she was told off by someone so silent.
"He told me himself, or at least I saw it in his eyes." Hinata paused, "When I stared at his eyes I saw the real Naruto stuck inside there, I don't know why... but he's stuck in his own body!"
Hinata turned and ran away, but bumped into someone. She looked up to see Kakashi with a happy, though unseen face, "Hinata..., you're right." Kakashi said as he titled his head a little.
"What…, you mean what she said is true?" Sakura asked in shock.
"Yes." Then they went to the empty waiting room.
Waiting Room
They were sitting in the bright room, and Kakashi told them what he knew about how and why Naruto was acting the way he was.
"So, that fox demon sealed inside of him is the cause of this?" Sakura stared at the ground.
"Yeah...," Kakashi assured.
"And we went and insulted him like that." Ino was now sorry for what she said about Naruto.
Kiba didn't contribute to the conversation but instead, was quiet and even distanced to the corner; as he stared out the window at the stars with Akamaru in his jacket. Hinata saw this and went to sit next to him, "Kiba-kun...?" Hinata called, with her hands behind her back and bent at the waist a little, with a smile.
"Huh...," Kiba was confused, as he stared at her posture.
"Can I sit down?"
Kiba nodded and blushed a little when she sat down.
"Kiba-kun, why are you over here by yourself?"
'...,' Kiba was silent for a while, "...Because I just can't win."
"What do you mean? No body was able to win against Naruto-kun."
"It's not just that I didn't win. It's just that, Naruto keeps getting fortune and I can't even beat him."
"Well Kiba-kun, don't you think that it's time Naruto-kun got a break. I mean his life wasn't that good, if you forgot."
Kiba turned his vision to the ground, "That's true. I guess, I was just being a little selfish but then, their still is only one thing that I still want but it seems like Naruto just keeps stealing away from me."
"What's that?" Hinata said as she titled her head to see him and show a smile to brighten his spirit.
"Well that something's... well... it's..."
"What is it, Kiba-kun? You can tell me."
"Okay... it's your love." This information made Hinata's smile reform into a frown, "How do you feel?"
"Well... umm... Kiba-kun I..." Hinata stuttered as she blushed, "I... I'm sorry but I don't feel that way about you."
Kiba was shocked for a second but didn't freak out. He smiled, "What was I trying to do anyway?"
"What do you mean?"
"I couldn't be jealous of one of my best friends. I'm sorry for telling you that, Hinata-chan." Kiba stood up with a smile on his face, "I guess there are just some things that just can't be helped, besides that just means that you don't have good taste in men, because I look way better than, Naruto!" Kiba laughed as he held his hand out to help Hinata up.
"Alright everyone listen up!" Kakashi said loudly, "We all have to get some serious rest for tomorrow because first thing in the morning, we're back after Naruto. Are there any questions, before you're all dismissed?"
"Yeah…!" Kiba shouted, "Is Kurenai-sensei coming?"
"She can't."
"Why not…?" Hinata asked softly.
"It turns out, that she has another mission especially for her, and so, she can't come."
"I have one more question." Sakura asked.
"What's that Sakura?"
"Can I tag along on your mission?"
"Sure." Kakashi assured her that she could go, with the closing of his eye, "Okay everyone's dismissed.
Naruto
Naruto was walking through a messy alley still groaning from the pain in his chest; he fell to his knees holding his chest until finally the pain stopped and Naruto's appearance changed to normal and he began faint. "Why me...?"
"Well…, because, you're the unlucky one that I was sealed in." Kyuubi said.
"How can you talk to me if I'm not in that place?"
"That's because you're fainting, baka."
"Whatever! Why are you talking to me?
"This is a warning..., if you interfere with what I'm trying to do one more time I'll..."
"You'll what? Kill me?"
"Alright the next time I'm free I'll destroy this village; before I was just going to have you run away but not any more."
"Who are you trying to fool? I know that you're lying." Kyuubi then smiled as Naruto fainted.
Hinata's Room
Hinata entered her room in her tight long robe, after having a hot shower. She leaned against the door, lifted her left hand and stared at it for a few seconds before having a flashback.
Flashback
Hinata and Naruto were the only to shinobi without missions and they were all alone. So Naruto asked if she wanted to train, while they wait for something to happen.
Hinata had asked Naruto to throw some kunai at her so the she could test her speed and reaction time. She was doing great until Naruto threw one when she wasn't expecting it and she caught the blade, "Wow! That was cool, Hinata-chan!" Naruto shouted as he came out of hiding and ran up to her.
Hinata looked at him with a blush and a small smile. Naruto looked down at the kunai to see a bit of blood draining down it, "Hinata-chan...!" Naruto grabbed her hand causing her to drop the kunai. He saw that her index finger was bleeding, "You got cut."
"It's... nothing." Hinata said as her blush grew across her face, "Naruto-kun… is holding… my hand." She thought.
"No... It looks kind of deep." Naruto then put her finger into his mouth, "Wow! Hinata-chan's skin is really soft." Naruto thought as he suckled on her finger and reached for a bandage in his pouch. He took her finger out of his mouth and then wrapped the bandage around her finger, "There…, all better!" Naruto said as he stared at her and started to blush with his silly smile on.
"Tha... thank you…, Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered as she stared back at him with an even bigger blush, "He's so handsome. I wish he would always do this when I get hurt." "Umm... Naruto-kun..., m... my... hand."
"Oh!" Naruto shouted as he let go of her hand and began scratching the back of his head.
They stared at each other for about four minutes until they snapped out of their trance.
End of Flashback
Hinata stared at her finger after that, "Naruto-kun, I know that you can over come this... this what ever it is." After that thought she began to suckling on her finger with her eyes closed. Then she headed off to her bed, to sleep.
Sakura's Room
Sakura had just stepped out of the shower and was already in her bed, "Naruto what's going on with you?" Sakura was now sitting up whispering to herself, "You can't change like this..., you made a promise. You have to bring Sasuke-kun, back to me." Sakura's eyes became teary-eyed, "It's your way of the ninja, to not go against your word. Also, if you change, then won't your dreams will go to waste?"
With that Sakura laid back down about to go back to sleep but she was disturbed when her eyes began playing tricks on her and she thought that she saw Sasuke standing right next to her bed, "Sasuke-kun...?" But he faded away as she fell asleep.
