This is the second chapter of the day mainly because I decided to post two today for you guys.

Hey guys I probably am putting too much relationship already in it but it doesn't matter really I mean Naruto will eventually have several loved ones anyways. But anyways I guess I should just stop talking and actually start with the story eh?

Oh, but I don't own Naruto instead I just pretend I do by writing stories using Naruto charecters.

'Talking To Demon'

Hinata was sleeping peacefully when a few rays of the new morning light fell onto her face waking the girl up. "Dumb sun why did you have to come so soon. I mean this is the softest my bed has felt in ages... Wait I don't even remember leaving Naruto's home…" Hinata thought then opened her eyes only to notice that she wasn't in her room. Which of course worried her for a few moments until she realized that it was Naruto's room and instead, she just started to blush trying to remember if anything happened to cause her to end up on Naruto's bed. "All I remember is crying into Naruto's muscular chest which I guess must have tired me out so much that I fell asleep right there in his arms. So, I guess he must have put me here. Though the question is where did he go after that seeing as I doubt my Naruto-kun would actually try something on me when I am asleep. So, he probably just went to be somewhere else." Hinata began to think with complete trust in Naruto. And after she figured out that she was safe and in her love's home she began to let her more perverted side come out. So, she quickly buried her face into Naruto's pillow and breathed in deeply inhaling Naruto's sent that had been completely absorbed into the very fibers of the pillow.

"Ah, today really is starting off good. Hmm, actually maybe Naruto wouldn't notice if I 'borrow' a few pieces of clothing and such to remember this day by. I just need to make sure that it smells like him…maybe I am being a bit to fan girlish doing this though… Actually, no that doesn't matter seeing as Naruto liked that pink banshee that was one of Sasuke's biggest fan girls so he must like girls like that. Though I can't really do it in public, I mean not only would the clan kill me for it but it would just be too embarrassing for me to actually do." Hinata thought deciding that Naruto had to like girls that were at least partially stalkerish to have a 'crush' on a fangirl. So, she only left the room after she hid several pieces of Naruto's old orange clothing in a small storage seal she paid one of Konoha's seal makers to put on the back of her forehead protector.

"So glad I added that" Hinata though with a smile as she played with her head band while walking into the living room where she saw Naruto's feet hanging off of the couch.

So, she quickly walked over to him and was about tell him good morning until she noticed that he was still sleeping peacefully with an arm and leg hanging off the couch as he softly snored.

"Ah, Naruto looks so cute sleeping. Wait he is sleeping I should take this chance to finally kiss him. I mean even if he doesn't like me back I can just hopefully take his first kiss and give him mine without anyone ever knowing it is perfect." Hinata thought happily then blushed as she slowly moved her head down to Naruto's taking every precaution to make sure he doesn't wake up. Soon enough she was only a few inches from Naruto's face with her hair now blocking anyone who walked in view of Naurto's face. And soon enough she was just about to touch her lips to his and the distance shortened by the second. Five inches..four..three…two…one. Hinata's eyes were now closed enjoying the feeling of Naruto's hot breath on her lips and was just about to feel his lips on hers…

"Naruto breakfast is ready!" Haku yelled down the hall shocking Hinata into jumping away from Naruto and also woke Naruto up from his slumber.

"Coming Haku-chan" Naruto mumbled as he was still waking up then he noticed Hinata was standing a little way away from him. "Oh, hi Hinata I hope you don't mind the fact that I didn't wake you up last night. You were just sleeping far too peacefully." Naruto told the girl rubbing the back of his head a bit at the same time.

"I-it is fine Naruto-kun" Hinata stuttered out quietly still blushing about what she nearly did. Course Naruto didn't notice this seeing as he was already walking towards his breakfast clearly expecting Hinata to follow without having to say it. Course said girl just stood there for a few more seconds trying to get her blush under control.

"Stupid breakfast I was so close." Hinata mumbled under her breath then followed Naruto to where Haku was patiently waiting by a table covered with pancakes, eggs, and bacon.

"Ah, Haku-chan it looks as delicious as ever." Naruto told the ice user. "You really are one of the best cooks I know." Naruto added while sitting down in an empty chair causing the girl to blush slightly though it went unnoticed by the others.

And soon they all sat down to enjoy the great breakfast that Haku created for the three of them.

"So, Haku-san how is your medical career going?" Hinata asked after eating a small amount of eggs.

"It is pretty good. I mean I start to actually work in the field today in about an hour and if all goes well, I should start training to become a medical ninja within the month according to the hospital director. Though I think that Hokage-sama is speeding this up a bit because Naruto-sama trusts me. Course even that won't help the fact that I am not allowed out of the village for several month…but that is understandable to make sure the village stays safe." Haku told her after eating a chunk of one of her pancakes.

"Wait why would Jiji do that only because of me?...and stop calling me –sama" Naruto asked then ordered her still disliking the girl's idea that he owned her.

"Naruto-sama you are one of his beloved people in this village so he likes to help you and your 'trusted people by doing what he can without angering the council." Haku told a still confused Naruto. After all she was fully aware that at any other time she would surely be under heavy watch or even worse treatment for several months if this was a normal situation.

"What? So, I am taking advantage of Jiji!?" Naruto asked her holding his head in shock.

Course Haku and Hinata giggled a bit at this reaction. "No, Naruto-kun she means that Hokage-sama just wants to help you by giving you and your friend every chance he can give them without showing too much favoritism. Though as for why he does it he probably thinks of you like one of his family members seeing as you make his life that much more interesting." Hinata explained though Naruto seemed to still be confused. Though he didn't ask on it again seeing as he doubted he could understand even with another explanation. So, he just kept eating while half listening to Haku who was talking about the training she had to do to become a registered healer and about various herbs and creams used for healing various things with Hinata who seemed to have an interest with the subject. Though for Naruto all of what they were talking about was completely out of his range of understanding. Still he chose to not interrupt them to explain things; after all, even then he doubted that any of the ensuing lecture would be understood either. Eventually though they all ate their food and went their separate ways. Haku went to the hospital to start her job, Hinata went home to change and then to her team meeting and Naruto went out to train for a bit before his own meeting started. In Naruto's case he was happy to have his normal training routine clear his head from the medical conversation he just sat through.

"Hinata was really nice to me yesterday…and today…come to think of it she always is nice to me. I mean she never hits me, calls me names, or even yells at me. And she even hugged me after telling my secret! She has to be one of the nicest people I know…and one of the most beautiful…Wait where did that come from?" Naruto asked himself and stopped training to rest his chin on his hand in a 'thinking position.'

"Hmm, I guess I need to think about this more. I mean it is obvious that I have somehow created some feelings for Hinata-chan. But I am not sure how strong those feelings truly are. I really don't want to make a mistake that will make me ruin an amazing friendship in the future." Naruto mumbled out loud thinking he was alone then quickly left the training field to meet his team at the bridge yet again. If he stayed, he would have noticed that Kurenai decided to come out of her hiding spot relatively close to the blonde.

"Naruto if you break Hinata's heart I will break you." She though evilly unintentionally releasing a small amount of KI then poofed out of existence showing that she was just a shadow clone the whole time. Course due to Kurenai being focused on the safety of the girl she thought of as a younger sister she failed to notice that Kakashi was hidden behind her the whole time

"Naruto you better be careful or you might learn why Kurenai is known to be one of the most dangerous women in Konoha." Kakashi thought worried about his sensei's son. He then sent a quick prayer to whatever god would listen for the boy to stay safe from Kurenai…for the off chance a greater being would listen to those that don't believe in them normally. Normally he wouldn't have even bothered trying but Naruto needed all the help he could get if he got on Kurenai's bad side. Then again, he might not have to worry for that long seeing as it is quite possible that he won't even survive the chunin exams Naruto would be going entering in just two days. A fact that always brought a frown to Kakashi's face as he worried about the first genin team he actually trained.

_Kurenai_

Kurenai was happily talking with her team getting ready for their training session to begin when all of a sudden, she stiffened up and glared at the air.

"Sensei what is wrong?" Shino asks his normally calm teacher surprised she looked annoyed all of a sudden. "She didn't look that mad since when she first learned about Kiba's perverseness" Shino though shuddering remembering how much Kiba screamed at the sheer horror of that genjutsu she placed on him. In fact, Shino promised himself that no matter what happened he would do everything in his power to never get on his sensei's bad side.

"Oh, it is nothing just something I remembered. Now Kiba I want you to work on your chakra control for about an hour while Shino you begin practicing your katas for the same amount of time and we will meet back here after that for the next phase of training. Though you two will be working with my clones seeing as I have to talk to Hinata for a bit." Kurenai told the two boys who quickly went towards their redone training area while Hinata just looked up at Kurenai confused.

"What did you want to talk to me about Kurenai-sensei?" Hinata asks curious making said women just sigh then kneeled down to Hinata's height.

"Hinata it has come to my attention that you like a guy that has feelings for you back right?" Kurenai asks the girl she thought of as family in all but blood.

"Y-y-yes I guess y-y-you could say that." Hinata shyly tells her automatically thinking about Naruto and began to wonder what her teacher heard to say that he likes her back.

"Ah, while I am happy for you to find love just make sure they don't force you to change or do anything you don't want to okay? You are a great girl and you shouldn't change that, well maybe except for this shyness and lack of self-confidence problem." Kurenai tells the girl with a small smile. "Please Hinata just listen to me on this; and I ask you not as your teacher but as your friend." She finished up and was surprised by the fact that Hinata gave her a quick hug after making sure the other team members couldn't see.

"Yes I will Kurenai-nii and I know we are supposed to keep this professional but ever since mother died you have been the only female that I really could talk to so I will always listen to you." Hinata tells her then quickly moves a few feet away from Kurenai who smiled at this.

"Sure, now then let's get you ready to learn a bit more about your clan jutsu using the scrolls you were given." Kurenai tells her then they both go to where Shino and Kiba were training and also worked their hardest to improve.

"Naruto is it true? Could Kurenai really have heard that you like me?" Was Hinata's last thought before she began to work on her rotation defense jutsu while stuff was thrown at her by Kurenai.

+Team 7+

Kakashi happily walked towards his students an hour late as usual only to tell them that they were running around all of the training grounds to test their stamina. So, they soon found themselves running by a severely damaged training field when they heard someone coming by hearing them scream out something that sounded like "Yosh."

Though when they heard this they all looked not noticing a green blur go past them behind their backs. So, when they finally noticed it the blur was already near Kakashi talking to him.

"Yosh! How are you doing my rival!?" the man that was the blur called out far too loudly. Course that wasn't what everyone first noticed. They all were still focused on his horrible fashion sense. A green spandex body suit covered slightly by bright orange leg and arm warmers and his head band being used as a belt. Still the weirdest part about the man was his bowl cut hair and massive eye brows. All in all they all were completely creped out by this new guy but they were able to refocus on the conversation when Kakashi responded to the man.

"Hello Gai. Let me introduce you to my students. This is Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke; and guys this crazy guy is jonin instructor Gai." Kakashi introduced them to each other and pointed at each one of them when he told him their name.

"Ah, such youthful students let me introduce mine." Gai told them happily then let off a loud whistle and soon three teens came from the trees.

(same as anime so I am not writing down their looks I only did Gai's because it seemed to fit the spot)

"This is Neji, Tenten, and the youthful Lee." Gai told them pointing at each one individually as they walked up to the group.

"Playing favorites much" was all Naruto could think when he noticed the special treatment Lee got. He even had one of his sensei's 'fashion' pieces on.

"Hey Tenten." Naruto and Sakura told the girl who happily responded with the same thing then noticed Naruto's sword.

"Naruto where did you get that sword?" Tenten asked not showing any emotion.

"Um, I found it." Naruto lied though he still was a horrible liar.

"Oh, really?" Tenten asked him not believing him for a moment. "Then can I see it quickly?" Tenten continued to ask holding out her hands that were soon filed with the blood red sword. Which she quickly began to examine thoroughly.

After she spent several minutes just looking over the entire blade she eventually saw very small writing on just above the hilt of the blade.

May this raging whirlpool protect thy user from all that your ninja career might present you.

Course when she read this she froze for a moment then glared at Naruto.

"Naruto, why do you Kushina Uzumaki's sword?" She asked not releasing her glare in the slightest.

"I told you I found-" Naruto began to tell her but was cut off by Tenten.

"Cut the crap Naruto. I know that is a lie. For this blade was locked away as a piece of Konoha's history and can only be given to her relatives seeing as when the blade was made they put several seals on it that make it almost as strong as one of the named blades IF used by her clan. The red whirlpool is basically one of the most guarded weapons in Konoha. I will ask again Naruto how did you get it?" Tenten asked him keeping the blade out of Naruto's reach.

"Tenten this is most unyouthful. Give Naruto-kun back his sword." Lee told her but it somehow didn't make it seem like an order.

"No, I will not give this precious blade back to a maybe thief." Tenten told him then felt an increase of KI in the area and looked over to see Naruto's eyes which seemed to be turning a red as he glared at the girl.

"I may have had to steal to survive as a child but I would never do it for personal gain if I don't have to." Naruto thought furious that the girl would immediately accuse him; just like the other bastards in the village did. The fact that she did so after getting under his guard pained him a bit but after daring to accuse him, he quickly destroyed any trust he held in the girl. Naruto then let a small growl pass his lips shocking before shocking the group around him by creating a chakra hand. This chakra hand came from his foot and took advantage of the shock it caused to easily take back the blade. He then looked at his teacher without sparing the girl in front of him another glance.

"Kakashi-sensei I am going to train alone with my MOTHER'S blade so don't follow me." Naruto growled out then left the still shocked group to go to his 'secret place' to vent his anger on something that wasn't human. After Naruto left Tenten quickly remembered that Naruto had to be Kushina's son not only because she found out at the sleep over but also because they obviously shared a last name. Though when she finally came to this conclusion Naruto was already long gone.

=Remaining Group=

"What is wrong with Naruto?" Sakura asked her sensei surprised that the normally happy guy could get so mad.

"Sakura. Naruto has had a hard life. A life that you will have to ask him about seeing as I will not give out his life story. But even with his life being rough he made a point to rarely steal anything from anyone. In fact, the few cases I have heard about was done purely because of necessity. So, he truly hates being called one seeing as he never went that route even when his life was so bad…and because several people of this village constantly called him one even knowing this fact. Now normally he would just ignore the name calling seeing as he seems to sometimes keep his real emotions locked away to everyone but his friends but it seems Tenten had managed to lower his block a bit but now she just wrecked her progress. I mean it seems he trusted her a bit more than the average person so by doing this she managed to hurt him a bit." Kakashi told them just so Tenten knew exactly what she just did.

(ANE: basically Kakashi would often be one of the ones to keep an eye on Naruto through his childhood and he also did his research on his students. For if he was going to have students he was going to make sure he knows about them)

"So, I basically gained his trust then stepped on it?" Tenten asked feeling bad.

"Yes" Kakashi told the girl bluntly then said good-bye to Gai and his team and took Sasuke and Sakura to train knowing that Naruto would be fine by himself for a day of training. Plus, he knew that the boy would be happier alone at the moment.

=Team Gai=

Gai quickly noticed the change of mood in the air so he decided to refocus his group on training to get rid of it. "Yosh! Let's get down to work so Naruto's dedication to training doesn't overpower our youthfulness." Gai called out with Lee on his heels ready to go while Neji and Tenten followed more slowly. Course Tenten's mind was on other things even as she hit the targets bull's eye over and over again.

"So, I caused Naruto pain just by calling him a possible thief? Crap. That probably means that he no longer thinks of me as a friend I bet. Though why do I care so much? I mean I hardly know him but yet I want to be his friend no matter what. But why? I mean it can't be love. I love Neji with all of his strength and power. I mean Naruto seems to be kind of strong and has a possibility to become a great ninja, and he is really kind. But, I don't like him just because of that do I? No. It just couldn't be possible…right? Oh, well I guess I will just have to think about this later but for right now I will focus on trying to mend the bridge between us." Tenten thought determined then patiently waited for her team training session to end so she could go find Naruto.

_Naruto_

Naruto was still fuming and quickly went to his favorite hiding/training location. Training Ground 44; The Forest of Death. Course he has been coming here for years just to escape the villagers and to calm down a bit. So, he knew how to avoid most of the stuff he couldn't handle through trial and error he did while growing up. Though he got injured quite a bit figuring that out and was lucky the larger animals thought he was too small to really be of any value as a meal. Though for right now he didn't bother going into his spot instead he just found a tree that was only about five minutes from the entrance he went through and began to destroy it through his training. Though he didn't pace himself like he normally did so he quickly was out of breath though this lasted only for a few seconds due to the fox healing him back up to be at the top of his game no matter what and his own natural regeneration. Course what he didn't expect was to hear someone behind him call out to him.

"What's up brat?" it asked and Naruto quickly turned to see one of the most dangerous women in Konoha; Anko the sadistic snake. As some people have come to call her seeing as they found out why she was meant to be feared through her special torture and all of her snake based jutsus.

"Hey Anko" Naruto responded to her loosening from his defensive stance in front of his friend. They both were very different but they had to go through a lot of the same stuff. She was hated by people in the village due to something she had no control in just like he was. So, when they met one day in the very forest they were in. They quickly became friends just so that neither of them would fall too far into their own depression. Course they now saw each other less now that they had other friends but they still saw each other every now and then. For they were friends for life just because they helped each other as they tried to stay out of the darkness that was in their souls.

"So, what has your panties in a bunch this time? Shouldn't you be happy with your new clan status?" Anko asked her normal blunt self while she pulled out a container of to-go dango from who knows where.

"Yea I know but now all those bastards that used to torture me and you are now trying to brown nose me. Oh, yeah speaking of them if you get some problems from them or something just let me know so I can actually use the crap they try to feed me. Anyways that's not what I am annoyed with right now. I am annoyed because one of my so called friends called me a thief due to me having my mother's sword which is supposed to have special properties or something." Naruto told her remembering how annoyed he was with Tenten.

"Well, that is enough about me for right now. So, tell me why you are here right now. Don't you have plans with Hana today or something?" Naruto asked her having long since heard about Anko's group of 'Konoha's Ice Queens' but has yet to actually see any of them except for Anko.

"Oh, I am still going with Hanna-chan to that new bar that opened up to party a bit but she doesn't get off work for a while yet so when I saw you I decided to just come over to say hi" Anko told him with one of her rare true smiles that were held only for her most trusted friends.

"Ah, well it is good to see you again I mean I haven't seen you since my mission to the wave." Naruto told her returning her true smile.

"Yes, I just had to come see these new eyes of yours Naru-chan." Anko told him walking up closer to him and looked straight into his eyes.

"It makes you look fiercer and crazier…I like that." Anko told him now practically on top of him.

"U-um thanks Anko-chan?" Naruto told her unsure how to respond while blushing due to being squished against the girl. Course after a while she backed off laughing at his embarrassed state.

"Ah, you are still so easy to tease." She eventually told him then noticed the time by looking at the sun through the trees (not too dense seeing as still practically at the edge)

"Oh! Gotta go see ya latter Naru-chan" She then quickly told him then left not giving Naruto a chance to speak. Course this just made Naruto chuckle a bit now in a better mood.

"Wait! That was her plan wasn't it? Oh, well I guess I need to thank that sneaky girl yet again for putting me in a better mood." Naruto thought happily and then began to train seriously now that his mind was clearer. Though he couldn't help but wonder what the special attributes of the sword has now that Tenten made him realize the small seals that were etched onto either side of the blade.

_Tenten_

Tenten's group finally finished after two hours though now the sun was setting seeing as it was getting close to dinner time and she couldn't find Naruto anywhere. So, she quickly changed directions and decided to look for Hinata so that she could use said girl's bloodline to help find Naruto. Thankfully in this case she was quickly able to find the girl and get her to help in her search mission.

So, she now stood in front of training ground 7 as Hinata scanned the area around them for any sign of the blonde.

Though when Hinata finally was finished Tenten was surprised by the answer. "Sorry Tenten-san but I can't see him anywhere around here." Hinata told her.

"What? How can that be you just scanned the entire place how can he not be here if he was training?" Tenten asked still shocked.

"I don't know but where ever he is we won't find him." Hinata told the shocked girl confusing her even more."

"Why?" Tenten asked figuring that everything the boy did would be loud and bold.

"Well Naruto was always a master prankster so he end up being regularly chased by ninja and civilians alike. So, through this it seems that he has developed his skills in stealth to a shocking level…or at least according to what I have heard. Though I do know for a fact that he even managed to prank the Hyuuga clan compound." Hinata tells Tenten remembering that strange time.

*Flash Back; Hinata two years ago*

Hinata was standing in front of the academy when she noticed her love interest was just a little way away from her. So, she decided to quickly try to go up and talk to him though one of the Hyuuga council saw this and quickly ran up to Naruto and kicked him hard enough to push him a few feet away from where he once was. "Get out of Hinata's way!" he told Naruto smiling only using that as an excuse to hurt the demon child. After he did this he quickly walked away though if he looked at Naruto's eyes he would have noticed the glimmer of mischief in them. Course Hinata didn't see this either because she quickly left as well not wanting people to know that she was crying because she thought her love was hurt because of her.

+That Night+

Hinata was still crying in her room trying to figure out how to say sorry to Naruto when she heard someone clearly furious outside of her room. Something she rarely heard seeing as many of the clan tried to keep their emotions to themselves. Still it was more than enough for hinata to decide to get out of her room and look around at what was going on. And what she saw was the man that kicked Naruto earlier yelling at several branch members.

"…how the hell did he get in? I want a full scan of the walls to figure out! And will someone get me something to clean this off with!" After he yelled this out the clan members quickly were trying to do what he asked while Hinata finally couldn't help but take a closer look at what was going on. Something that lead to her ending up in a fit of giggles after seeing the council member.

For the council members once, black hair was now dyed bright yellow or what was left of it anyways. After all it seems that he also got a haircut that took all of his hair except for a long pony tail. Plus, on his head directly in the center of his forehead was a chicken drawn in permanent marker. Due to this the council member ended up staying in the clan compound and completely refused to go anywhere in public. He also took to wearing hats quite often and even had the 'dishonor' of wearing his headband over his forehead. Course he never got his revenge on Naruto even when he brought it up to people seeing as there was no proof it was him.

*Flash Back End*

Course Hinata was lost in her thoughts of this day for quite a while so Tenten decided to leave the girl to her thoughts. But soon after she left Hinata snapped out of it due to hunger and quickly went home to get some food. Funny enough though as she ran home, she accidentally ran into the person she was looking for just a little bit before. But due to them both traveling on the roofs she quickly felt herself lose balance thanks to the shock but thankfully was saved by the man she hit. Something that made a blush quickly appear on her face.

Course this just made Naruto with his already confused mind blush as well. "Man that blush makes her look so cute and she is in my arms right now maybe I should just give her a quick kiss….No! Bad Naruto! You don't even know if she likes you like that! Don't let Anko's teasing get to you this much." Naruto thought to himself and gently put Hinata back on her feet. Course when he did this, she got even more embarrassed and her cheeks turned even more red and she poked her pointer fingers together repeatedly showing her shy side even more.

"She looks even more cute now! But…You know what screw waiting until I know if she likes me I am just going to go for it!" Naruto told himself then quickly turned to the girl.
"Hinata."

"Hmm?"

"Would you…Would you go with me to dinner tonight?" Naruto asked blushing just as much as she was.

And that is the end of this chapter. Now this chapter ended at a cliff hanger mainly because it seemed right to end here. I mean right after Naruto asks Hinata out. Anyways I decided that I would post this one and another instead of the last one and one of my other story. Now anyways I am done talking now so Ja Ne.
