"Speech"
'Thoughts'
Of all the things she expected Hinata to say, that was not one of them. 'I thought I was careful, how did she figure it out, and if she figured it out who else knows?'
Seeing the inner battle Naruto was having with herself Hinata tried to soothe her "Naruto-chan… it's not what you think I only found out by accident. I realized now that if I never would have followed you I'd have never found out you were a girl all along."
Taking a deep sigh "How long have you known?"
"I saw you take off your cloak a few weeks ago while you were training and your figure was too feminine. So later I would follow you home and use my Byakugan to spy through the walls."
Dumbfounded Naruto didn't know what to say, thinking she was safe in her own home until Hinata basically broke down that defense. Slowly coming to the realization, if Hinata can see who else can see or listen to what she has been doing. 'How come I have never thought about that, all this time thinking I was safe from prying eyes?'
'There has to be a way to seal my apartment from others right?'
"That's it, seals!" Hinata not expecting Naruto to start yelling about seals, was a bit startled but her yelling.
Suddenly standing up, Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand without saying a word she starting dragging Hinata behind her.
"Naruto slow down. Where are we going?" Hinata asked trying to keep up with the pace Naruto set.
"Oh sorry Hinata, we are going to the library to research seals and you are gonna help me." Naruto basically demanded.
Puzzled Hinata could only try and keep up "Are you not worried that I know your secret?"
"Why should I be, now I have a girl to ask questions about things I don't understand about female bodies. Plus I have always wanted a best friend." Naruto spoke like everything was completely normal.
Blushing fiercely Hinata would never have guessed that she would be Naruto's best friend, the person she admired most was now her friend, her equal and she will not let her down.
Unaware to the two would be best friends they were capturing the attention of every villager that Naruto dragged Hinata past.
No doubt they thought that the Hyuuga Princess was being kidnapped by the demon.
Naruto paid them no mind as she dragged Hinata through the library doors. Quickly heading to the one place that seemed untouched for years, Naruto started looking at the scrolls for anything that would give him somewhere to start with seals.
"Seems like we will have to practice calligraphy Hina-chan."
"Hina-chan? Naruto I already know calligraphy, so I can help you if you want?" Hinata asked.
"That will be great! I guess I will need brushes and what not, let's go get some." Tucking the sealing scroll away Naruto once again grabs Hinata's hand pulling her out of the library.
"Let me go buy the items we need, I will meet you at your apartment." Knowing how people treat Naruto she knew that it would be easier for her to get the supplies without a fuss. The whole sealing practice and process will take a while.
NEXT DAY
Walking hand in hand with Hinata into the class the next day got the new best friends some stares from their fellow classmates. Both too caught up in their conversation about seals, neither would have never thought that the class thought they were dating. Finally looking around the class Naruto noticed the stares everyone was giving them. Gently nudging Hinata with her foot the girl instantly turn red from the stares she was receiving.
Luckily Iruka sensei walked in to put her out of her misery.
"Alright, listen up its time to assign you to your squads,"
"Each squad will be a balance of your strength, first squad seven will be."
"Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno."
"Squad eight, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame."
"Since we already have a squad nine active squad ten will be, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi."
Instantly the class voiced their opinions, none of which Naruto paid any attention to. All that was going through her mind is that she finally found a friend that knows her secret and they were about to be separated.
Missing when Iruka-sensei announced the sensei where here to get their squads, it wasn't until Hinata starting calling her name say she had to go with her sensei did Naruto snap to attention.
Quickly jumping out of her seat to hug Hinata good bye. If everyone didn't noticed them before they definitely noticed now.
Bright pink Hinata could guessed what was going on, whispering softly, "This doesn't mean we won't be best friends Naruto, it just means we won't see each other as often but we will make time for one another."
After Hinata left it was only squad seven waiting for their sensei? Left alone as Sakura pestered Sasuke, Naruto couldn't help but to be jealous at how easily Sakura made it known that she cared for Sasuke.
Another hour had past when Naruto finally got fed up and decided to leave. Just as she opened the door she came face to well chest with their sensei.
"Meet me on the roof." With that said he simply disappeared.
Turning to her teammates they looked as stunned as she was.
Their sensei was a weird one, to start off he only had one eye visible and his hair was white and seemed to defy gravity.
"Okay. Why don't you three introduce yourself." He asked about ten minutes of silence.
"Sensei why don't you how us how it's done?" Sakura asked.
Naruto had to admit that was pretty clever now they would know more about their sensei.
"Alright, my name is Kakashi Hatake, Kakashi-sensei to you. I don't enjoy most things and I enjoy doing even less. I also have no plans for the future." Kakashi-sensei said with his eyes closed as if he was bored.
'So really all we know is his name, he is more than I expected.'
Sakura sighed knowing her plan failed, "Guess I will go next, my name is Sakura Haruno, I like flowers and…" she turned pink and stared at Sasuke. " I don't like Ino-pig and loudmouths and I hope to be a great Kunoichi one day."
"Pretty good, alright brooding boy why don't you go next."
Sasuke glared at his new sensei clearly not liking the man, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I don't like anything and I hate people who getting my way. My goal for the future is to kill a certain man."
The whole team now stared at Sasuke hoping he was joking but as always he was being quite serious.
"Well I guess it's my turn, my name is Naruto Uzumaki I like my best friend Hinata and learning new jutsu, I dislike people who judge without knowing them. My dream for the future is to be Hokage and protect my friends."
Kakashi considering his new team, they would need a lot of work but maybe they can make it.
"Tomorrow you will be put to the test, a survival training so to speak" gaging their reactions they all seemed determined to prove themselves.
"Okay team lets meet tomorrow morning at training ground seven, six am sharp. Oh don't eat breakfast you might just throw it up." Giving them an eye smile Kakashi vanished in a swirl of leaves.
Not wanting to be around her new teammates anymore Naruto got up and left. Thinking about what Kakashi-sensei said something was didn't sit right with her. What ninja purposely did not eat to make sure they were in top condition? It struck her, the survival training already began everything leading up to tomorrow counted. With that she decided to be prepared heading home to rest and go to bed early for the next day.
'I wonder how Hinata is doing..'
