Chapter 7 "That Promise"

.

"Naruto, there is something we need to talk about." Shikamaru said as he is about to escort Hinata back to her inn for she isn't feeling well. "Sai can escort her back."

"But—" he is about to protest, but seeing Shikamaru's eyes had told him that there is something serious he wants to talk about.

Disappointment is evident on his face, he thought that this would be the perfect time to be with his wife and to have a heart to heart talk with her.

He wont be a coward anymore and will tell her how he really feel no matter what her response would be.


Shikamaru had lead him towards the Kazekage office where Gaara is waiting for them as well as Yamato who seems to just arrive.

" Yamato-sensei" He greeted at him, but then he suddenly feel something stung him from behind and he feel weakened. " Shikamaru!"

"Sorry Naruto, but it's the only way to save Hinata." Gaara said as he look at his friend who collapsed after being injected with a sedative called Clawrental Hexodinean,a specialized Suna sedative that can put even a Jinchuuriki into a sleep.

But knowing Naruto he would be okay in a short while, but at least it would buy some time for Hinata to be safe tonight.

.


...

...

Naruto woke up, feeling dizzy. Whatever it is that Shikamaru had injected him with had him sleep for God knows how long.

"As expected, you woke up early than what we planned." Shikamaru commented as Naruto sits down on the chair feeling dizzy.

"To hell with that Shikamaru! What the hell is you're problem?" He asked angrily at him still trying to take the dizziness away.

"That's the only way me and Gaara can ensure that you wont act stubbornly and to buy some time." He explains.

"well you please go straight to the point Shikamaru and give me good reasons why I wont beat you and Gaara's ass." He said.

"First things first and please Naruto don't restrain yourself." Shikamaru said as he took a hold of Naruto's shadow.

"Is this necessary?" he asked.

"yes totally." he said.

"Oh, so you woke up early than expected." Yamato commented as he walk inside the Kazekage office with Gaara.

"Yeah and you guys better explain to me whats going on." He asked.

Gaara looks at Shikamaru and nodded. Giving Shikamaru a signal to do the explaining.

.

" You see Naruto before we arrived here in Suna, Shion had a vision of Hinata's death."

Naruto eyes went wide and he almost break Shikamaru's jutsu resulting for Shikamaru to tighten his shadow possession technique on him.

"What do you mean by that vision?"

" You know the power of Shion's prediction right Naruto?"

"Yes, she saw me dying in the past as well but hell I prove it wrong! Hinata wont die, let me go and ill see to it that it wont happen.!|"

"Too bad we cant Naruto!" Gaara said firmly. "You see, Shion's vision of Hinata's death has you on it."

"Me?. What do you mean Gaara?"

...

No one speaks. There was a long silence before Shikamaru decided to put the pieces for Naruto.

"Hinata's death will be caused by you Naruto" Shikamaru said and as he looks at his blonde friend he tightens his technique even more.

"You will kill Hinata with a katana. That's what Shion had in her vision. And it will happen tonight."

Naruto trembles.

"There's no way I would do that to Hinata!" he shouted.

"We know, but Shion's prediction are always right Naruto, well aside from yours, but still we don't want to take any chances. And well hope you understand us." Gaara said.

Naruto went silent. He couldn't believe what he is hearing.

He would kill Hinata? How could he?

When Hinata is his world and means to much to him that he wont even let a mosquito harm her.

.

"I need to talk to Shion!" he asked.

Shikamaru didn't budge and gives signal to Yamato as Yamato went out the office. Shikamaru look at the clock and wished for nothing but for this day would end without anyone getting hurt.

He just asked Yamato to return to the inn and join Sai while guarding Hinata's door.

And then Shikamaru is in a deep thought.

He know there's no way Naruto would ever do such thing, but Shion had made it clear to them that what she saw would happen today. Cause today is the only day in Suna, when the blue moon would appear.

He is a man that uses his head and so Shikamaru wont just rely on Shion's prediction alone.

As a young woman from Gaara's research team came in the office with a folder in her hands. Shikamaru took the folder as he read its content and Gaara had to wait patiently for him to finish.

"Just as I thought." He said and handed the folder to Gaara.

.

Naruto who is in deep thought suddenly took notice of Shikamaru deactivating his jutsu. "what are you doing Shikamaru ttebayo?!" he asked confused.

"Naruto, did you remember when Kaoru Miya had let you sign something?" he asked.

"Hai."

"Did you took notice of the pen that he let you used?"

Naruto is in deep thought. "Now that you mention it. It feels like there's a special chakra inside the pen but I was thinking that its no big deal."

or so he thought..

"The Miya clans specializes cloning jutsu using a special ink like Sai, however the clones they can create are near to perfection and that's because every time they let people used their pen, a portion of the holders chakra would be the ink of their pen and thus by using it they can create a perfect clone." Shikamaru explains.

"And you're point Shikamaru?" Naruto asked.

"The Miya clan specializes on wielding Katana weapon Naruto." Shikamaru informed.

And that concludes it. As Naruto is about to dash in a lightning speed going towards the inn where Hinata stayed, Gaara had hold him off with his sand.

"Naruto!, before you rush in, there's something you must know."

.


.

.

"Na-Naruto kun?" she was able to say his name a midst of the blood that came rushing out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry but no." Said the man pretending to be Naruto all this time. He transform back to his real face and kneel in front of Hinata as he pull his sword from her.

"I'm sorry about this Hinata, but this is a payback for what you did on turning down our clans proposal. I bare you no ill but I have to carry out this mission." He said.

Hinata couldn't hear what he had to say next, the last thing she saw was Kaoru's apologetic face and then darkness took over her.

Kaoru watched as Hinata slowly stop breathing.

"Its done." Kaoru said as he clean the blood from his sword.

A figure from the rock slowly emerges. A guy with an anbu mask came in

"You better hurry, we must not underestimate Naruto and the Kazekage." The mask man warn.

"I know that. " Kaoru agrees and took a tube to get some drop of the Hyuga's blood only to be greeted by a body of ink..

"What the?" It's a trap!" He shouted to warn the mask man behind him.

.

"Shannaroo!" scream a pink haired girl above him who suddenly appears,

Kaoru wont make it in time but luckily the mask man is able to grab Kaoru with his own special jutsu and had him survive the surprise attack.

The fist landed on the solid rock causing a portion of the valley to crack.

"Next time my fist will land in your skull." The pink haired girl said.

.

"This is a trap." The mask man says recognizing Sakura Haruno, the sanin student of Tsunade.

And as he would plan to take his escape a fist land on his stomach sending him flying to the next valley.

.

"Master!" Kaoru shouted seeing the mask man in pain as he crumbles on the rocks.

Kaoru know how bad will it get if they will get caught but he trusted his master so much that he went through the plan tonight.

"Aargghhhh!" Kaoru screamed as a hand that took his master down flew towards him next, holding him by the neck and crushed him on the rocks.

His vision went blurry as he look at the man who did all of this in a split seconds.

.

Naruto's eyes were full of his intent of killing people tonight. And number one on his list is Kaoru Miya.

He doesn't need to hear any explanation from them he is going to pulverize them.

Seeing the mask man who stood up after his punch Naruto went directly for another hit, leaving Kaoru Miya as he wanted to torture him later after he is done with this mysterious mask man who Naruto know is a strong foe. The mask man block his fist and kicks and could match his speed.

"Who are you!" Naruto demanded.

"Someone who will kill you!" the mask man laughed maniacally as he emits a black chakra from his body and an explosion follows.

.


"Naruto!" Sakura shouted as she tries to rush to where Naruto is.

.

"That was closed." Naruto exclaim as he took off his Suna's cloak that's on his way from fighting and were halfly burned due to the chakra explosion.

"Are you okay Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." He answered. "Thanks though Gaara!" He look at Gaara whose sand had shielded him and the village from the possible rocks that might fall from the explosion.

"This guy. Who is he?" Gaara asked as he were floating mid air with his sand.

"I don't know but, I'm gonna kick his ass!"

"Be cautious Naruto, that guy can use his chakra as an explosion." Yamato warned who stood behind Naruto.

.


"Gaara of the sand and Naruto Uzumaki, the hero of the ninja world." The mask man recognize the two ninja in front of him.

His hands covers half of his face as his mask were halfly destroyed due to Naruto's punch that hit him before he was able to release his explosive chakra.

"This is not the time for me to fight you two head on." He said with his hoarse voice as he tries his best to cover his exposed face.

"Don't worry! Its just me whose gonna beat you into a pulp!" Naruto exclaimed.

The mask man smiled before he disappear from the rock.

"Matte!" Naruto shouted but the mask man had disappears and he no longer could feel his presence.

.


.

Hinata look at the blue moon that's been shining tonight.

"Naruto-kun." She whisper as she can sense the tension far away from the valley where Naruto, Gaara, Sai and Sakura where.

She wanted to go and help but she had strict order from Yamato-sensei and Gaara to stay away from the battle, they even had Shikamaru's jutsu on her shadow to ensure she wont be going anywhere.

"You don't have to worry really Hinata." Shion commented as she stand beside her looking at the valley as well. "you forgot that your husband is the worlds hero. Any ninja who would go against him were digging on their own grave."

Hinata smiled at Shion. "Thank you Shion-san."

And a long silence ensued.

Neither one of them knows what to say next as they silently waited for what would happen.

"They have captured Kaoru Miya." Shikamaru informed Hinata and Shion as he receive a message from Sai's bird. "We will be interrogating him to know his real intention of targeting you Hinata."

Hinata nodded her head in response to Shikamaru's news as Shikamaru disperse his jutsu on Hinata.

"Thank you Shikamaru-san and to you as well Shion-san. If it weren't for you're vision I might be really be dead right now." She gratefully bowed in front of her.

"And Im…. Im… Im sorry for not telling you about me and Naruto. I feel bad about the promised you two made with each other. Trust me I want whats best for Naruto and you, and so I decided to keep it in secrecy from you.. I… i—"

"Hinata." Shion stopped Hinata and grin at her. "I knew that Naruto and you are married all this time."

"Eh? What?"

Shion let out a soft laugh.

"When I saw your death and saw Naruto stabbing you with a Katana, I thought back then that I would definitely save you from such fate. At first I thought you and Naruto were just friends but then when we meet Naruto here in Suna that I have started my suspicion that you guys have a deep relationship since I could see clearly how Naruto worries about you and the way he looks at you.''

"The way he looks at me?"

"Yeah.. like he always want to hold you and kissed your or something intimate like that." Shion sighed as she explain to the blushing Hinata.

"Come on Hinata! Don't you dare faint on me." She laughed.

"I always know Naruto would never harm you in anyway, but Im scared of the vision that I have so I confided with Shikamaru and Sai as well as the Kazekage last night in secrecy. When they told me that you and Naruto were married, I got more reasons to take you away from Naruto. I cant imagine you dying in the hands of the one you loved."

"Shion-san… All this time you were wanting to protect me?" Hinata asked feeling bad at how she ends up being protected by the person she is supposed to be protecting.

"I just returned the favor Hinata. You see, you're cousin Neji defeated Kusuna long time ago. I wasn't able to formally give my appreciation to Neji-san at that time, but Im always grateful to him for defeating that guy who killed Taruho. Taruho is a very kind friend and bodyguard to me. Despite my spoiled and selfish behavior back then, Taruho was always gentle and understanding till the day he died for protecting me.

Haruka is Taruho's brother you see and I took Haruka since he reminds me so much of him.

By protecting and saving you in my own liitle way I could return the favor, but his time its not just Neji but to Naruto as well, to all of those who loves you dearly Hinata."

"Shion-san" Hinata wipes the tears that forms on the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry about giving you troubles.''

"Troubles? You didn't give me that, you've given me inspiration instead. Because of your personality Hinata, I wished to live and find love, like the love Naruto is giving to you. He loves you, you know. You have to believe it."

Hinata's face reddened at Shion's last word. Did Naruto really loves her as how they describe it? Or was it evident all alone and she is stuck with her insecurities that she over looked everything.

.


.

Naruto grabbed the wounded Kaoru Miya by the collar.

"Tell me everything about that mask guy right now you Baka!"

Kaoru Miya just look at Naruto as if trying to recognize who he was and then he look around the place.

horror is written all over his face.

"Ahhhhh! Let me go! Don't hurt me! Ahhhhhh!" he screamed and squeal causing Naruto to let him go and be surprised by his sudden outburst.

"Whats going on?" Naruto asked Yamato who is also surprised with the way the Miya boy reacted. "Somethings not right."

"Please! Don't hurt me! I will give you what ever you want, money or jewelries name it all I can give it to you! Just please don't kill me!"

.


.

"It seems like Kaoru Miya had no knowledge about what just happen. Its like all his memories were taken away." Gaara informed Naruto as they let the Suna interrogation team do the task of questioning Kaoru Miya.

"A Yamanaka can interrogate him better by exploring his mind but as of now Naruto, I'm telling you. Kaoru Miya is like a puppet created by that anbu mask guy."

Naruto sighed. "Looks like ill be on a hunt for a mask guy then." Naruto declared.

"He is powerful Gaara and there is something familiar about him. His scent and his voice, but I could not remember where and when. Moreover his desire to attack and kill Hinata, what are their motives?"

"Perhaps it's Hinata-san's byakugan they were after all along." Yamato speaks out after he was done with sending a message to Kakashi about what just happen with them in Suna.

"I had a gut feeling Yamato-sensei that its more than that." Naruto said feeling unease.

"As for now Naruto, you need to rest. Ill see to it that all possible threat tonight will be long gone. All diplomats from the Miya clan are also been captured and taken into interrogation as we speak. If they don't have anything to do with what happen, they will be release but if they do then they will receive a Suna trial." Gaara promised.

.


.

"Ino will be called from Konoha to interrogate that Kaoru guy or something here in Suna." Sakura said as she narrates to both Hinata and Shion what just happen during the attack.

"I really cant believe that it was Kaoru I saw on my vision." Shion said as she took a sip on her tea. "He was cloning himself to look like Naruto to lure Hinata. Gladly that shadow guy and the pale blunt had thought of the idea of making a Hinata clone in exchange of the real one."

"Kaoru-san seem to be a good guy, I am so surprised that he is part of this sudden attack." Hinata really is surprised by the news.

"You dont have to be so kind Hinata-san, that Kaoru guy is an evil." Haruka joins in as he and the rest of Shion's guard where all awake the entire night guarding Shion. "I feel so bad that I wasn't able to give that guy a taste of my Katana."

"Shut it Haruka!" Shion said looking sarcastically at Haruka. "Stop acting cool. Hinata is married and stop flirting with her."

Haruka blushed at Shion's word. "Thats not it Shion-sama."

Sakura just raised her brow at Haruka while Hinata just understandingly smiled at him which had Haruka to blush even more.

.

"I don't get what really happen Sakura-san, I mean, if Kaoru had an intention to kill me, why not do it when I was dehydrated?" she wonders.

"We will soon find that all out once Ino would crack that man's skull." Sakura answered while raising her fist. "I was only holding myself from cracking his skull back then."

"Hey do you girl think that Shikamaru does have a gift like I have?" Shion suddenly asked.

"I mean he predicted that Kaoru would pose as Naruto and he would seek Hinata, lure her to the valley, so that's why he made all the action of having Sai to create a perfect clone of Hinata. He is good at it more than I do."

Both and Sakura smiled at Shion. "Shikamaru wont be called a genius for nothing Shion-san" Sakura giggled.

"And no he doesn't have a power like yours, he was just a good tactician that's why he could tell what would the enemies move will be. So hard to explain how that man's brain work but he really is good at what he does."

"Ohhh sugoi, he is amazing then." Shion complimented. "Oh! Naruto is here." She said as she saw Naruto and Sai from the Inn's gate, more like informing Hinata that Naruto had return.

.


In reflex, Hinata runs towards Naruto to check him up.

"Naruto-kun, are you okay?" Hinata asked while her eyes roams around Naruto's feature trying to see if he had any bruises or wounds, gladly he doesn't have any.

Hinata smiled at that realization when all of a sudden, Naruto's arms envelope her into a tight embrace. She was caught off guard and blushed madly as he tighten his arms around her, one on her waist and the other one on the back of her head. She didn't know what to do, would she wrap her hands around him as well?

"Naruto-kun?"

And he tighten his embrace more than before, its like he wanted to squish Hinata, no! he wanted to feel Hinata after so many days of trying to control his self to do that.

Hinata could feel Naruto's breathing on her neck that sends chills to her.

Naruto this close had made her heart beats so crazy, she's sure that at this state Naruto could hear her heart out loud.

"Thanks goodness, It was Sai's clone that Kaoru stabbed back then." Naruto softly say while still hugging Hinata.

"Cause I don't know what Ill do if that were really you." Naruto sighed and he kissed Hinata's neck so lovingly.

"Naruto-kun." His name slip on her mouth as she blushed at Naruto's sudden show of affection.

And then Naruto went to kiss her neck again. "You're mine Hinata." He said that sends heat on Hinata's body as Hinata involuntarily touched Naruto's face with her right hand and her left wrap around his shoulder.

"Get a room you two."

.

And the intimate moment had crushed hearing the comment they receive from Sakura, who thought how stupid Naruto was but at the same time she's happy seeing the two lovers together.

Sai who were holding a sketchpad and draws the two together

and Shion who clapped her hands as well as some of Shion's bodyguard who were present all along and were giving them cat calls.

Hinata covers her face, embarrassed by forgetting that they were surrounded with friends and let Naruto be intimate to her for the first time.

Naruto on the other hand seem not affected with the moment, more like he is mad at being disrupted.

"Geez, you guys could just leave yah know." Naruto retorted back earning him a smack on the head from Sakura.

"Baka! This isn't your honeymoon place!" Sakura shouted.

"Im sorry Sakura-san, Minna" Hinata who is still red was able to give a bow towards her friends.

"Nah its not a problem Hinata, glad this idiot had finally made a move on it. Tell you what this idiot has been so depressed back in Konoha since you left, he even threaten Kakashi sensei to send him here in Suna so he can see you right away or else hell burn all Kakashi-sensei's precious Icha Icha Paradise."

"Eh?" Hinata look at Naruto. "Did you threaten the Hokage Naruto kun?"

"You really don't have to say that Sakura." Naruto scolded Sakura and then look at Hinata blushing. "He is slacking off because of those books so I guess it should be right." Naruto defended.

"Well seems like Naruto is having a fun of threatening people, since he also threatens me and Shikamaru before leaving konoha back then." Sai joins in the conversation as he smile widely. "I wonder if I could threaten Naruto with the dickless painting of himself that I draw before."

Naruto rushed towards Sai.

"Don't you dare Sai, I'm completely not a dickless you idiot" he warn.

"Well for me you're a dickless unless Hinata-san would prove me wrong." Sai said causing Hinata to almost faint.

As Sakura find her team mates a nuisance that she both give them a what she called a sandwich punch.

.

" Shanaroo!" and she knock them down. "Both of you are baka! You should not talk something like that when there are ladies around!" Sakura shouted.

Hinata laughed at the scene. Though she really don't like to see Sakura throw punches but she know that Sakura would never seriously hurt her friends.

Hinata looks at Shion who were laughing at the same time like her.

"Shion-san." Hinata calls out to her. She have to tell her this.

"about the promise you have with Naruto." She started. "Im sorry but I .. I wont let that happen."

And she bow to her while closing her eyes. She's selfish and shell tell herself that over and over again, but she had decided to never give up her feelings for Naruto.

A decision she know Neji would support her.

"Its alright Hinata, if its you its fine." Shion smile causing Haruka who is near her proud of his priestess.

"Thank you Shion-san"

"promise? What promise?" Naruto asked curiously as he rubbed his head after receiving a fist from Sakura.

"Ahmmm.." Hinata look at Shion, not wanting to be the one to say the word. Moreover she's scared of telling Naruto.

"Its nothing Naruto." Shion said. " That promise isn't important anymore."

"I still don't know what promise you're referring to Shion." Naruto said. "Ohhh! Is it the promise that I told you ill teach you good jutsu?"

Shion eyes went sad as Naruto seems not to remember that promise he had. Shion stood up and is about to leave saying that shell get ready with her morning rituals.

Hinata feels bad for Shion. She is so kind to her and she wants to return the favor. "Naruto-kun, you made a promised to Shion before that is so important. You have to remember it." Hinata pleads making Naruto think harder and Shion to stopped from leaving to wait for Naruto to remembers it.

"Hmmmmm… I got nothing." He said.

Shion smile and let out a soft sigh. At least she should act like she's aint in pain about this and so she went straight to Naruto and punch him as hard as she can. Unlike Sakura though her punch were like nothing.

"You Baka! You promised me to be the father of my child." Shion exclaimed causing all his guards mouth to hang open at that and Sakura and Sai to sweat drop.

"Ehhhhh?!" Naruto exclaim… "you mean you're pregnant now?! Wheres the dad? And why would I ask to be the father ttebayo?!"

Shion and Hinata were dumbfounded with Naruto's reaction. But later on Shion had understood something and she smiled. "I was kidding you baka! Chill out."

"Ohh you were?" Naruto asked and laugh.

"Woooohhh! I got nervous all of a sudden. I mean I want to have a child or moreover a dozen children and be a father soon so which mean me and Hinata would have to work hard." Naruto bluntly said causing Hinata to lost her consciousness as Naruto caught her falling figure. "Oi Hinata?"

Shion laughed at the scene.

.

"That promise?" Sai look at Sakura.

"It was only a misunderstanding. Shion had Naruto promised to help her pass the power of the priestess to the next generation, and Naruto thought that Shion wants protection so he promised her that."

.

.


.

"Consider yourself lucky that you are still breathing"

Kaoru Miya eyed the blonde girl in front of him as he is brought through interrogation. This blonde girl is actually pretty.

"Yah know..you might hear this from someone already but you're kinda like a Goddess." He said.

The blonde woman just raised her brow at him. "Yah I don't get that a lot, especially that I do have a boyfriend who is so blunt. Anyway, I would love to see what's inside your head so bear with it.".


.

Sai waited patiently for Ino to be done with her interrogation, When a loud thud was heard inside followed by a screaming Ino.

"Ino!" Sai calls out as he went inside the interrogation room.

All of the other Suna ninja surrounds her trying to calm her down.

"Call Sakura now!" Sai ordered a Konoha ninja who is Ino's escort to Suna. "Ino?" and Ino stopped screaming and she lost consciousness.

Sai carried Ino out of the interrogation room as he took another glance at Kaoru Miya who seems comfortable on his seat smirking at him.

.

.


THE END

More chapters to come..

Chapter 8 will be posted 4 days from now so please stay tuned.

And ohh.. heres a little spoiler from chapter 8.


"Tadaima!" Naruto calls out as he enter their living room. "Hinata?" he calls out for his wife.

Seems like she's not at home yet. He forgot that she asked to visit her father today perhaps he should have went straight into his father in law's house then.

And then a sound of the front door opening had him excited. She's home!

"Welcome back!" He greeted at her only to be surprised by her running towards him and greet him in a tight embrace. She is crying.

"Hinata what is it?" he asked worriedly hearing her soft sobs.

Instead of answering him Hinata sealed his lips with hers.
