Naruto walks onto the boat to see many others around but he didn't care all he wanted was to relax and maybe one day return to village to prove to them that they were wrong about him being a demon and about him being weak. He goes and sits on the railing of the boat as it leaves the port his older brother thought it would be best to allow him to be by himself to think since he needed it more then him. Kurapika keeps thinking about that night the night he saved his younger brother he wonders what would have happened if he didn't arrive on time to save. The thoughts made him so angry that his eyes started to glow, Naruto turn to his brother and quickly runs over to him and hugs him tightly saying " big brother am okay now am here " Kurapika smiled softly as he hugs him back and then Naruto spots Gon and once again he feels his heart race and of course he hears laughter and Naruto growled " what you laughing at furball" Kurama was still laughing before answering back "kit why won't you tell him how you feel" Naruto sighed softly and answers back with such honesty that it made even Kurama shock and pity the young boy " because what if he doesn't feel the same way or worse what if he does and then founds out about you and starts treating me like how the villagers treated me" Kurama felt saddened the villagers of Konoha did a very bad number on him that now his precious kit is too afraid to tell the boy he likes that he loves him.
As Naruto sits next to his brother and peeks out at Gon every now and then, Kurapika noticed the look of distress in his brother and felt bad for him so he gently tapped his shoulders and said softly " Naru why don't you go and talk to him" Naruto looked shocked that his older brother would even suggest that and he said and whispers " I can't " Kurapika was confused and wanted to find out why but at the same time he was scared that if he pushed too hard, then his brother would grow to hate him so he decided it was better to stay silent.
Gon looked up and turn to see Naruto staring right back at him, this causes him to blush and he turn pink he couldn't help but wonder what was going through the blond boys head he was quiet and seem to avoid him Gon thought that the boy might just not like him which caused him to be sad as he didn't know what he did to make the blond hate him or even dislike him, Kurapika noticed the upset look upon Gon face but before he can say anything he noticed that the clouds have become bigger and darker and just as he thought the weather turn for the worse.
Everyone started shouting and run to make there way to the bottom of the deck so that they can stay dry and safe Kurapika couldn't help but notice that Naruto kept looking at Gon as if wanting to make sure that he was okay and wasn't hurt, Kurapika sighed and just pushed Naruto towards Gon. Naruto almost trips and bumps into a man with glasses, the man turned to Naruto and started yelling and fighting with each other and Gon of course noticed this and quickly walks over trying to calm them both down Naruto thinking that Gon was against him as he seemed to try and calm the man much more than him and this caused him to snap at Go, as he finally finished snapping at him Naruto realised what he said and saw the tears that flow down his face Naruto panic and he tried to calm him down but was stopped by the man who glared at him and told him to leave Gon alone.
As Naruto looked down he listen to the man and walked off back towards his older brother he heard the man shouts at Gon not to chase after him to Naruto surprised Gons hands had wrapped around him and he whispered softly to Naruto " please don't hate me Naru" Naruto stopped when he heard Gon call him Naru it was like an angel singing he turned around and looked at Gon before wrapping his arms around Gon and whispering " am sorry Gon i never meant to hurt you." Gon just smiled and nodded his head and answered " I know Naru" as the too got lost in the moment they didn't notice the looks they were getting or the captain trying to get there attention as the two boys were making things really awkward for everyone. Kurapika sighs as he walks to his brother and taps his shoulder saying "Little brother am happy for you but the captain wants to talk" the boys stopped what they were doing and turn there attention to the captain.
The captain just sighs as he explains to everyone that they are almost there disentation and this got everyone excited even Gon, Naruto just smiled and was ready to prove to people that he wasn't the weak idiot boy that everyone thought he was and he was going to prove to everyone that he is strong and he well show them his strength. As the captain told everyone it was now safe to go back up the boys quickly run together as they wanted to spend as much time together before the hunter exams, the two boys smiled as they looked at the ocean and they could see the beautiful city form the boat Gon got excited and said " Naru look we're almost there" Naruto just smiled and nodded his head before saying "Yes we are almost there" Gon couldn't help but ask Naruto questions for example what he thought would be part of the hunter exams and if it was going to be easy or hard. Naruto just smiled and told Gon that he didn't know and that they needed to wait and see when they arrive.
