Hello there, I'd like to explain something because of on of the comments. It is not my intention to make Naruto look bad in this story, at least not for now. It was Shino who had ill feelings about Hinata letter. But otherwise thank you so much for the reviews. This chapter is something I've never written so I hope you like it ❤️


Her element was water. Always has been but there was never a good way for her too use it because of her fighting techniques. Nevertheless she's been playing with this element since she learned how to. To her water is something natural, she has always been a good swimmer, and there was a great deal of respect in her for the strength of it. Water was the source of all the life but it can also take any life. Tsunamis are fearsome things which killed so many people yet there is nothing like the rain after the fire burning the entire village. Water was both gentle and powerful and Hinata admired it. Sasuke was fire. He was powerful and could bring the world to its knees. But to her he was also the fire in the fireplace, somewhat worm but not burning her skin. He always thought that if people were too close they would burn but not her. She was water and she could withstand the destructive fire he was. Their differences in this area made them perfect for each other.

Knowing all of that Sasuke wanted to come up with a training that would use nature transformation. There was a way for her to use it effectively with Byakugan but he didn't know exactly how to do it yet. Right now he wanted to see how accurate was her kunai throwing. He wanted to see if senbon would be useful for her. The metal needles he knew to be lethal. During his first real mission he had been almost killed by a wielder of senbons, Haku. There was still a lot of admiration for the technique that had been used then and he still remembered how painful it had been. Still it required a lot of skill in accuracy. She did have Byakugan and it would probably be useful but it's not enough.

After an hour of throwing kunais at different targets she was a little tired. Her Byakugan was better at hand to hand combat. She felt irritation building up in her but she has asked him to train her and she had to have trust in his ways. She was pretty exact with her hits but not enough to be a great senbon user right now. They trained this exact way for a few hours second day in a row. There was an improvement but he wanted to just jump in and give her senbons but to do that he had to find a place in the village to buy them first. It was not the most common weapon in this country. They weren't the gentle type of people and this kind of weapon requires not only patience but also taming the personality of the fighter. He wanted her to stay the way she was but stronger. There was no need to change who she was.

When they finished she dropped on the floor and drank some water. It was driving her crazy. Nobody ever expected her to be a weapon master like TenTen was. There was no need for her to train it in the Hyūga Compound and her team was mainly a tracker type. But she wanted to become stronger and maybe this was a way, a weird and unclear but a way.

„Why aiming practice?" She asked when he sat next to her. He could feel her frustration so he smirked.

„I have an idea, but you have to have a nearly perfect aim for it to be a good idea" he answered. „You know Shizunes weapon of choice?"

„Senbons?" She was in disbelief. „You think I should be using senbon needles?" There was some sense in it but she's never even tried to throw senbons, she saw them being used by TenTen, Shizune and that girl from sound in chuunin exams. They all had different styles too. TenTen used senbons with other weaponry and it gave her attacks a great deal of surprise. Shizune was a medic and she used them as a medic would - to cause a lot of damage in the right places. Girl from sound used them in a more intelligent way, manipulating what the opponent saw and what they heard. If she was to use them she could be dangerous. They would be good in a close combat as well. Doing much more damage to chakra points than her fingers. But from distance it was nearly impossible to hit a separate point in a human chakra system. He had to know that.

„Well I think they could suit your way of fighting. And they can be used in many different ways. Do you want to try it?" She had nothing against the idea. At least she would be better at long distance fighting. She shook her head and smiled. He was so focused on her when they trained. She was full of gratitude for meeting him. There was no other person she would prefer to be with. They also were getting closer and closer. They now even slept in one bed. She suddenly felt tightness in her stomach. It was causing her stress but it felt so good to finally be able to be close with somebody she felt something for. They were traveling together for more than 20 days now and it felt even longer to her. She felt as if she knew him forever. Were there things he still kept hidden from her? For sure. But she decided she didn't care about it. They had all the time in the world to get to know every little thing about each other. And maybe it was good that they weren't the type of people who unveiled everything at once because there was still things they could be curious about, things they could get to know. For now both of them knew that they wanted and needed the others company.

„We need to see something in the village tomorrow since we're going away soon." The Village Hidden by Rocks was not favorite place in the world for neither of them but Hinata wanted to see more of it. She believed that the places she's visited were enriching her in the only way she cared about. She loved the differences between one city and the other. There were no two exactly the same places in the world and all of them had something to offer.

"Sure" he answered even though it wasn't a question.


It was now their tradition to sit together before going to bed and play some games. They played cards for now but she wanted to introduce him to the other games. They both were liking this way of spending time together. There was room for talking but it wasn't always necessary. They also just wanted the company. The games they were playing didn't demand a lot of strategic thinking. It was just plain fun. After that they went to bed and fell asleep

He's been having nightmares since forever. They were vivid and always caused him to wake up and not sleep for the rest of the night. He hasn't had any for a while now and it was great. But nothing lasts forever. And that night he had a nightmare, one that occurred the most often.

He was alone in the dark. There was a soft but cold light behind him. He turned around and the first thing he saw were his hands. Dark with blood dripping from them on the floor. The closer to the light he was the more blood he could see all around him. He knew who's at fault for all that blood. He was. It was cold and dark but the light seemed worse. When he was close to it there was one nameless body at the floor, and the other closely by. When he looked closer there seemed to be more and more bodies every time he looked. Some faces he knew, some were just a mere memory. There was his family, there was his brother. There were his friends, his enemies. Every one of them dead because of him. Some had their throats cut others were simply cut by the blade of his sword. When he saw his brother he was desperately trying to wake himself up but it was impossible. He had to see three more people, as always. And there they were, lying together. Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. All died fighting him. None wanting to fight him. He expected the dream to end there but it didn't. He turned around and saw Hinata. She wasn't dead but she was covered in blood of all these people, horror in her eyes filled with tears. She saw him for who he was. She saw what he did. And she attacked him with her bare fists. She didn't even try to kill him, she knew she couldn't. He tried to calm her down, but how could he. Suddenly she grabbed the kunai and tried to stab him but he averted the impact of it and she stopped moving. He felt better for a moment just to see the kunai in her chest. A fatal spot. He dropped to his knees. Tried to save her, tried to stop the bleeding but couldn't. More blood on his hands. This broke him he forgot it was a dream and all he felt was pain. He wanted to scream but couldn't.

She woke up because she felt that Sasuke was trembling. He was deep in his sleep but it had to be a bad one. She tried to wake him up but there was no way that worked. She was worried and couldn't do anything. When he woke it was sudden. He nearly jumped out of the bed. She tried to ask him what was the nightmare about but when he saw her he grabbed her and hugged her hard. She was here, she was safe.

„It's okay Sasuke" she whispered „everything's fine" he looked at her face. There was no sight of the way she looked at him in his nightmare, she cared, she wan't scared of him. He kissed her. Hard and desperately. He wanted to feel her and make sure she was the real one. She was caught off guard by his kiss but responded to it almost could feel the desperation in the way his lips moved. His hands were all over her body and slipped under her t-shirt. She almost froze but allowed him to do it.

Her skin was smooth and warm. There was a silky feeing to it. He laid her on her back and started to pull her shirt off of her with question in his eyes. She was red as a tomato now but nodded. When he saw the upper part of her body he was immediately aroused. Her abdomen was flat and fit. Her breasts full and perky. He glanced at her face. She had her eyes closed. He kissed her throat and slowly came down on her body. When she felt his lips on one of her breasts she opened her eyes and let out a low moan. This was a strange sensation and she wanted more of it. Her hands were now in his hair. His on either side of her, holding on to her hips. Her hands began wondering over his body. She touched his shoulder blades and bis back. In the meantime his shirt was off as well and she had the opportunity to travel her fingertips across his torso. After a while he went to the other nipple and began stroking the first one with his fingers. She was trembling. There were these lightning like sensations going through her body every few seconds and she couldn't stop herself from making noises she's never made before. He was proud to make her look the way she did. When she came he hugged her. He didn't want to rush her into doing things she wasn't prepared for and she already looked out of it. When she fell asleep again that night he watched her with happiness but there still was that feeling in his stomach. He was still broken by the dream. This was the first time a nightmare included her and it somehow made it worse. But seeing her so peaceful and flushed he fell asleep as well hoping for the nightmare never to come back.
