Chapter 7

A Revelation

Author's notes: Okay yall I really would like some reviews. It would be nice to get them

Anyways please read and review.

"Kit, we need to talk." Kurama told the blonde as soon as he entered into the mindscape when he fell asleep.

Naruto gulped, "Uh what about Kurama?"

Kurama looked at him, "The Hyuuga."

Naruto sighed, "What about Hinata, why do you want to talk about her?"

Kurama grinned, "You know she has feelings for you."

Naruto nodded, "I know I look stupid Kurama, but it was just an act, I have known about her feelings for a long time. She is one of the few people who has always believed in me."

Kurama shook her head, "Then why are you holding back, you have feelings for her, you are definitely sexually attracted to her."

Naruto was taken aback, "W-what are you talkng about."

Kurama grinned again, "Kit, I can hear your thoughts, I get your feelings, I know exactly what you like about her. Namely that oh so shapely figure she has, plus what was it tonight, the way she looked in the moonlight. Why are you lying to yourself, you are attracted to her and she loves you so what are you waiting for. Why are you holding yourself back?"

Naruto blushed but shook his head, "Kurama, I don't know if I am in love with her! She is head over heels for me, I don't even know what love is. I have never been loved, I can't go forward with her not knowing that I love her. She is too good for that, too good for me. You know that Kurama, we are from different worlds. I mean she is a freakin princess, and I am a peasant, just a lowly demon boy."

Kurama shook her head sadly, "Kit you know I love you, I know you have never had family and don't know what it is like to be loved, and I know that is my fault. But I see you as my family, you are like a little brother to me."

Naruto hugged Kurama, he could tell she was sad, "Kurama, it isn't your fault, I love you like a sister, but let's be honest, this is a little different than a normal familial love. You are a demon afterall" Naruto continued with a sly grin, "I mean I didn't even know a demoness could love."

Kurama laughed and playfully shoved the young boy who had become like a brother to her. She had never had never known a human to be like this boy, he treated her with kindness and love she had only ever seen from the sage of six paths. He really was her family.

Nevertheless she continued to speak, "Kit, all joking aside, do not delude yourself into thinking you can trick me, we both know this has nothing to do with that. You are scared to take a chance, it isn't like you. Do not let all of this stand in your way of being happy, you haven't been happy yet in your life, not truly happy anyways, why are you scared of this?"

Naruto sighed, "I am happy enough just being her friend, I don't want to bring her into this."

Kurama replied, "Naruto, you need to give her a chance, you need to tell her about me, and give her a chance. Please Kit, trust me let her in. If you let her in though, do yourself a favor and tell her. Tell her as soon as possible about me."

Naruto nodded, and the two of them continued to talk and have fun, until Naruto's alarm went off and he woke up.

Naruto headed for the training fields to meet Kakashi and Hinata. When he got there Hinata was already there speaking with Kakashi and another woman, the woman wore a trenchcoat and had purple hair. He had no idea who she was.

Kakashi was the first to notice Naruto, "Ah Naruto, I see we both are of like minds bringing someone for training."

Naruto nodded, "Sorry Kakashi sensei but you know her situation by now right?"

Kakashi frowned, "Yes it is unfortunate, this is Anko Mitarashi, she is a friend, at first I had brought her to help train you, but it looks like she will be much better off helping Hinata."

Anko took Hinata's hand and started to drag the young girl off, "You owe me one Kakashi." she purred as she walked by.

Kakashi grinned and responded, "Don't worry, you will get your normal payment in full."

Naruto and Hinata both blushed deep realizing what the two were talking about, but Anko continued to drag Hinata away for her own specialized version of...training.

Naruto looked to Kakashi, "She seems, well crazy, perfect for you huh."

Kakashi looked down to Naruto, "I have no idea what you are referring to. But we need to have a little talk. Yesterday you showed me your jutsu's and your taijutsu skills, I am not so stupid as to think you learned that on your own. Who has been training you?"

Naruto grimaced, "Okay, I will tell you, but you have to promise to not be mad, don't jump to conclusions. My teacher is Kurman, better known as the 9 tailed fox."

Kakashi was shocked, "Naruto, why would you listen to anything the fox has to say."

Naruto glared at him, "Her name is Kurama, she didn't have a choice when she attacked the village. It was Madara Uchiha, but more on that later. She was there for me, when no one else was." Naruto started to get upset now, "Do you have any idea what I have gone through?"

Kakashi stayed silent.

Naruto continued, "A year ago the villagers beat me so bad I was put in a coma for a month. I was beaten so bad, the only reason I survived is because she healed me."

Kakashi stopped Naruto there, "I know what you have been through Naruto, I am sorry I have not been there as actively as I have should have been. You know, I have been trying to adopt you since the day you were born. The civilian council, nor the ninja council would let me. I went into Anbu so that I could do my best to protect you. I am sorry Naruto, I didn't do a good enough job.

Kurama has my thanks by the way."

Naruto continued to glare at him. "Well you clearly did not try hard enough. Because I grew up as a fucking orphan. I had no family, and before the team selection I had no idea who the hell you even were. Let's just get to fucking training."

Kakashi sighed, and nodded starting Naruto on a workout. Having Naruto run laps around the village, he went and got breakfast for him, Naruto, Hinata, and Anko.

When Kakashi got back, He had the three of them meet him in a clearing for breakfast. He sat down with Hinata, and Anko, but Naruto shook his head said no thanks and continued to train.

Anko saw the look in Kakashi's eye and knew what had probably happened. She finished her breakfast, and told him she would take a crack at training Naruto. With that she disappeared from the clearing and found Naruto. When she did, she was not gentle. She grabbed him by his jacket and threw him into a tree, "Just what the fuck was that with Kakashi. What the fuck did he do wrong?"

Naruto glared at her, "Who is he to tell me that he tried to be my family. I have been alone since the day I was born. Kurama is the only one who has ever cared about me."

He was shocked when Anko slapped him across the face. "You have no fucking idea what Kakashi has done for you. He has always done his best to look out for you."

Naruto was no full on upset, "Oh yeah, where the fuck has he been then? Where was he when I was being chased by the fucking villagers? Where was he when I was beaten almost to death a year ago. Where the hell has he been."

Anko slammed his back into the tree again, "You don't get it do you, who the fuck do you think stopped the villagers from killing you? Who do you think carried your broken fucking body to the hospital, who watched over you while you were in that coma? Kakashi was there for you as much as he could. He is a ninja for the village as well. He was on missions every time you were attacked, but he would come and check on you first. He would find you beaten and broken and when he could he punished those that hurt you. He was not allowed to be seen by you, he was not allowed to adopt you. He almost took you and left the village. The only reason he didn't was because of his sensei and his father. How disappointed they would have been in him. He would have gone rogue for you. Don't you ever question his devotion for you. He pulled every string he had, every favor he could to get your team instead of Sasuke's."

Naruto was shocked, he was confused, "Why? Why does he care? Why has he done so much? Why did the council stonewall him?" The young blonde had tears in his eyes.

Anko shook her head, "I can't tell you that, neither can he unfortunately. But kid he has gone through hell because you were hurt. Until you carry the broken and beaten body of someone you care about, you won't understand the hell it was for him. After he has lost the people he has lost. His best friends, his father, his mother, his sensei, the woman who was like a mother to him. You remind him of almost every one of them. He is just lucky the council has no say in team placements. Otherwise you still wouldn't know who he is."

Naruto looked down, ashamed of himself, "I need to go talk to him." With that he sprinted off to find Kakashi.

When he arrived with Kakashi and Hinata they were sparring while talking, "Hinata, can you give me a moment with Kakashi, Anko is waiting to continue your training."

Hinata nodded and left.

Naruto turned to Kakashi, "I am so sorry sensei, I had no idea." With that Naruto hugged Kakashi.

The man grinned and hugged him back, "It's okay Naruto. You didn't know."

Naruto shook his head, "Why do you care about me so much?"

Kakashi shook his head, "All I can tell you is I owe it to your parents, I can't tell you why, nor can I tell you who they were. I am not even supposed to say a word about them. But fuck the rules, your father was the bravest man I have ever met, your mother was so strong and caring. Unless you wronged someone she cared about. She was incredible."

Naruto nodded, "Thank you for telling me what you can, thank you for saving my life."

Kakashi nodded, "I will never sit by and let you be hurt if I can avoid it. Now let's get back to training."

Naruto nodded and the two started sparring. Kakashi correcting Naruto's form when he saw things wrong and continuing to help him with his defense.

After a couple hours Shikamaru arrived as well Kakashi gathered Hinata from Anko and Anko left telling Kakashi she would see him later. Kakashi nodded and the team went to get their first mission.

When they went in the Hokage gave them a mission to find the Fire Daimyo's Wife's cat. Naruto groaned at how lame the mission was. Nevertheless team seven set out for their first mission as a team. When they got to the last known spot of the cat, Kakashi told them to pick a team leader for this mission, and they would pick a new leader for each one of these missions. But he warned them for harder missions he himself would most likely take lead, he wanted them however to realize each other's skill sets and to be able to choose and follow a leader if he wasn't able to help them.

The three discussed it a little and they decided that Shikamaru was the best candidate and so he started to form a plan. "This is too easy, Hinata activate your Byakugan, Naruto create 12 clones. Naruto send your clones out in different directions when they see the cat the need to dispel them so we know where the cat is. After that we will go to the location and Hinata you will use your Byakugan to zero in on the target." The lazy genius explained his plan. "Then once we find it Kakashi you Naruto and Hinata will chase the cat into my shadow possession jutsu then I walk it to the Hokage tower to the Daimyo's wife. The three other members of the team nodded their heads in agreement and went to do the mission. The plan worked out just as Shikamaru planned it. After the completion of the mission, Kakashi was so proud of his team he took them out to eat.

The team enjoyed their meal together talking and laughing, even Anko joined them in the fun, Hinata was really starting to look up to Anko. The woman was confident and took what she wanted. She was a great ninja and was strong. Something Hinata really wanted to be.

After a while Anko and Kakashi stood up and left, Anko pulling Kakashi hungrily. Shikamaru left shortly after the two teachers. That left Naruto and Hinata alone. The two stood up and and left on a walk.

Naruto turned to Hinata, "Hinata, I know you have feelings for me, I have known for a while but I haven't acted on them because, well I don't exactly know what love is. I have never had a family, or even really any friends. I am telling you this, because, well I really like you, I don't know if it is love, I want to see though. Will you give me a chance?"

Hinata gasped, "N-naruto, r-r-really?"

Naruto nodded and asked, "So, what do you say?"

Hinata nodded, "Y-yes."

Naruto grinned and hugged her, she hugged him back and he kissed her on the cheek. The two continued to walk heading for Hinata's home. When they got there Naruto stopped her.

"Hinata," Naruto paused, he knew he needed to tell her, but then he thought about the eyes of the villagers, the hate they held for him, he couldn't risk it. Not with Hinata. He couldn't risk her hating him, he thought of that look being in her eyes, he couldn't take the idea of it.

Hinata interrupted his thought process, "Naruto, what is it?"

Naruto shook his head, "N-nothing Hinata. I am just happy you are giving me a chance." With that Naruto and Hinata said their goodnights and Naruto kissed her on the cheek.
