Naruto had sent a clone and grabbed a storage scroll. He The clone unsealed his mother's dresser, and found some clothes bringing them too Naruto and Hinata. He gave her a set of jeans and one of his mom tee shirts. She thanked him and walked into her room changing into them. She felt weird, these clothes had a familiar presence about them, she put them on and felt truly comforted for some reason. She couldn't place what said reason was but she felt much warmer inside than she had in a long time.
"Maybe Naruto will let me keep these clothes, I don't know why but they are really comforting right now." Hinata thought. While she slid Naruto's hoodie on. She sighed stepping out of the room and walking downstairs to find Naruto waiting for her. He grinned and the two walked out of the house, Hinata slid the hood of the jacket up over her head, hiding herself away from the world. She was so ashamed of being marked the way she was. They looked around for a while, but Hinata didn't seem interested at all. She hadn't picked out really anything for her room yet.
"Hinata you know you can choose anything you want; your dad is willing to pay so you can be at home in your new room."
Hinata sighed, "N-Naruto, f-for two y-years I lived i-in a cell f-from h-hell. I-I had n-no bed, I-I was o-only g-given r-rags as c-clothes. I-I d-don't n-need a-anything."
Naruto looked at her as she continued to look at the street, his heart breaking for her, "Hinata, it isn't about need, you can want things. We can get you anything you want."
Hinata nodded, "I-I'm sorry N-Naruto." After that Hinata chose a few things and Naruto created clones to take everything to his house.
The two of them finished shopping and Naruto asked her, "What do you want for lunch Hina?"
Hinata shrugged, "I-I don't k-know."
Naruto nodded, "I'll choose then, lets grab some ramen. I haven't had Ichiraku's in too long."
Hinata giggled slightly, thinking back to the first time they had grabbed lunch together. "Okay N-Naruto, l-lets go."
The two walked into Ichiraku's and sat down, "Old man Teuchi, one large pork ramen please, and whatever Hinata here wants!"
Teuchi grinned seeing Naruto, "Naruto my boy, how have you been?"
Naruto grinned, "Great, it has been far too long!"
Teuchi laughed, "Don't I know it, business almost tanked without you here."
Naruto laughed out loud., "Well I can't wait for the many more meals to come here."
Hinata giggled at that and Teuchi looked at her, "So Hinata was it? What will you have?"
"I-I will take t-the s-shrimp ramen p-please." Hinata responded to the man.
Teuchi grinned at her, "Good choice, two ramens coming right up." With that Teuchi walked into the back and started making their ramen and Naruto turned to Hinata.
"Hinata what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" Naruto asked her.
Hinata shrugged looking at him and seeing his smile, the same smile that lit up her world a with a brightness akin to a thousand suns. It warmed her heart to see Naruto smile like that.
Naruto nodded, "Well I want to teach you a new jutsu, you want to try it out after lunch?"
Hinata raised an eyebrow, not that Naruto could see due to her hood, "T-training N-Naruto? I-I didn't think I w-would be a-able to y-yet. I-I am s-still i-in my b-brace."
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, well it isn't anything too difficult, just my shadow clone jutsu. It will be helpful in your training. Also, we will start working on your chakra control. Kurama says your chakra capacity is off the charts. Like as of right now you have a higher chakra capacity than Jiraiya."
Hinata nodded, "Y-yes, m-my chakra c-capacity is h-high."
Naruto nodded, "I don't remember it being so high."
Hinata's fist clenched the seat she was on, "C-can w-we please n-not t-talk a-about it?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Sure thing Hina." They sat and didn't talk about much else after that. After they finished eating, Naruto paid, leaving a hefty tip for Teuchi. The man had always done so much for Naruto, he would forever leave him such tips."
Naruto and Hinata walked out and walked back home, Naruto was on guard the whole time, Hinata didn't notice, but Naruto clocked several suspicious people. He had noticed multiple people with cloaks on, too many to coincidental. He did a few hand seals and activated his Fox ears and Fox nose jutsus. He sniffed the air, listening intently. The did not speak, yet they had the scent of the Hyuga clan, he knew the scent from the clan compound. He growled, they were watching her, he didn't know why, and would not make a move, he didn't want to compromise anything Hiashi might have set up. He looked back at Hinata and she seemed to have noticed something was off.
"N-Naruto, what i-is wrong?" She asked without looking up at him.
Naruto shook his head, "Nothing is wrong Hinata."
Hinata looked up at him and he could see her eyes, she was angry, "Don't lie to me."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "I will tell you in a second. Brace yourself."
Hinata glared at him, "F-fine."
She was surprised when he put a hand on her shoulder, then they flashed away, back to the Namikaze estate. She gasped when they flashed back into existence, she was dizzy. She tipped, starting to fall, but Naruto caught her and held her close for a moment.
She took a deep breath, breathing in his sent as he held her. She sighed, she loved the way he smelled. After a few moments, she pushed away from him looking into her eyes, "T-thank y-you Naruto."
Naruto nodded, he couldn't believe how beautiful she was, her eyes were gorgeous to him. They were unique, beautiful. "Uh right sorry Hina."
Hinata nodded, "W-what h-happened i-in t-town?"
Naruto sighed, "People were following us, I clocked them multiple times."
Hinata looked away from him, "W-who were they?"
"They smelled like they were from your clan. Not a scent I recognized though." Naruto told her.
Hinata's fists clenched, "W-why?"
Naruto sighed, "I don't know Hina."
Hinata nodded and sighed, she sat on the couch in the living room, Naruto sat next to her pulling her hood down, and looking at her. She was lost in her thoughts. "Hinata, why don't I go ahead and take a look at the seal on your forehead, I need to find a way to undo it."
Hinata looked at him, "N-Naruto, t-there i-is no w-way to u-undo it."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "That's not the Hinata I know, she never gave up. Why would you tell me anything can't be done?"
Hinata looked away, "I-I'm not t-that g-girl anymore. A-A lot has c-changed N-Naruto."
Naruto looked at her eyes wide, "Hina, what?"
Hinata looked at him tears in her eyes, "N-Naruto, I-I'm sorry, t-this is w-why w-we c-can't be t-together. I-I'm n-not the g-girl you f-fell in l-love with."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Hina you are still that girl."
Hinata got mad, "NO! I-I'm not. T-the things t-that were d-done t-to me, t-they changed m-me."
Naruto back away from her slightly, "Hina, I know bad things were done to you, but you shouldn't let that change you. That is letting them win."
Hinata had tears rolling down her cheeks, "T-they a-already won."
"No Hina, they didn't win. You are alive, and back you won. You survived." Naruto responded softly.
"N-No N-Naruto, T-they took e-everything f-from me." Hinata told him.
Naruto shook his head, "You still have me. I'm not going anywhere."
Hinata shook her head, "N-No, t-they took m-my a-ability t-to be w-with you." With that Hinata shakily stood up and limped away as fast as she could, sobbing all the way up the stair and to her room. Hinata entered her room and stumbled falling onto the bed, pulling a pillow to her chest and crying into it.
Naruto knocked on the door, "Hina, can I come in?"
"N-No p-please leave m-me alone." Came her muffled reply.
Naruto nodded and cursed, "Okay Hina, I will leave you be for now. Later I want to look at the seal, I will undo it, I promise, and you should remember that I always keep my promises."
Hinata didn't say anything, so Naruto walked to his room, he decided he was going to take a soak in the hot springs.
…
9 lay on the ground groaning in pain, Orochimaru had figured out her plan. She had been sabotaging Kabuto for weeks now, and the snake had finally realized what she had done. She tried to get up but everything hurt too much. Orochimaru walked into the cell and kicked her in the side, she flew into the wall screaming in pain as she felt several ribs break. She landed hard on the ground and coughed up blood.
Orochimaru walked over to her and picked her up by her hair, she tried to struggle but her punched her face hard knocking her out.
When she woke up she was hog tied on her stomach with her hands and feet tied together behind her back. She was in a lot of pain, and the tie wasn't helping, it was putting weight on her broken ribs. She was also gagged, a cloth in her mouth. She looked around she was in a caravan that was moving. It hit a bump and she cried out in agony as it hurt her ribs even more.
Finally, the caravan stopped and she waited as she heard voices outside. It sounded like a woman, and Kabuto groaning in pain. He was fucked up in more ways than one.
9 grimaced as the back opened and a man grabbed her and lifted her, taking her into a new prison for her. She was thrown roughly onto the ground, and she grimaced in pain. As she was left there to sit in the painful tie.
Finally, a woman came in and cut the tie, she pulled 9 to her feet, "Orochimaru wants to see you."
9 glared at the girl, still unable to talk due to the gag in her mouth. The girl had red hair and wore glasses.
She pulled 9 with her to Orochimaru. She was thrown down in front the pale snake man and he glared at her. "You have betrayed me 9. I gave you so much freedom, I treated you better than any other prisoner, in order to gain your medical help and you betrayed the trust I put in you."
9 glared at him and started trying to talk, "Karin, remove her gag." Orochiimaru ordered.
Karin untied the gag and 9 shrugged her away, "You have beaten me, tortured me, done unspeakable things to me, and I was fine with it. I put up with your shit for eighteen years. I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am from, I am haunted not knowing anything about my past, all I can remember is a blonde man, that I think I loved. Then you kidnap Hinata and have me care for her, you make me heal the fucked up shit you did too her, then take me from her. You have taken out your anger on me for years! I have been broken in so many ways, so many times. You say you gave me freedom, you are the one holding me captive! You say you treat me better? You torture me! You have done so many unspeakable things to me. So yes, I have had enough, I will not be healing anyone from now on. You are on your own."
Orochimaru was livid, "How DARE you speak to me that way!" He stood and walked down to her. He grabbed her by her throat and lifted her in the air. He fired a fist into her stomach and she coughed up blood. He threw her into the wall and was on top of her immediately. He kicked her kicking her in the side over and over again until finally he stopped, 9 having trouble breathing. Blood filling up her lungs. He reached down and picked her up again by her hair. Blood trickled down her chin from her mouth as she struggled to breath, trying to suck in any air. Orochimaru dropped her and walked over to Karin. Grabbing her by the back of the neck and leading her to 9. Orochimaru pulled her arm out and forced it into 9's mouth making the woman bite down.

Naruto went back up to Hinata's room a couple hours later, he knocked on the door and waited a moment. She didn't answer, so Naruto opened the door to check on her, he was shocked to find she wasn't there. For a moment, he was terrified, he put a hand seal up and focused on the flying thundergod seal he had placed on her. He flashed into his garden looking at her.
Hinata let out a gasp as he flashed in front of her. "Hinata! Geeze, I was so scared, I went to your room and you weren't there! It scared the hell out of me!"
Hinata's head dropped, she had disappointed him, "I-I'm s-sorry Naruto, I-I came o-outside to be i-in the g-garden, I-I'm sorry."
Naruto hugged her, holding her tight against him, as he tried to steady his breathing. "It's okay Hina, I just got scared, next time I will check around the house before I get super worried about you."
Hinata nodded, "W-why did y-you get s-so worried?" She couldn't help but nuzzle into him, he was so warm, so comforting she loved him so much, but she thought there was no way that he could actually still love her. She couldn't be so selfish as to confine him to her.
Naruto sighed, he was enjoying the hug himself, "Hina, I can't lose you again. I just can't"
Hinata was confused, "W-Why?"
Naruto looked at her, "You are my life Hina, I love you more than anything."
Hinata looked at him, her eyes wide, "N-Naruto, I-I…T-thank you f-for caring s-so much. Y-you are t-too kind."
Naruto looked into her eyes, she had such beautiful eyes. He stared into them for what seemed like forever. Finally, she looked away from him.
Naruto sighed as she removed herself from his arms, "Do you want to train out here?"
Hinata nodded still not meeting his eyes, "O-of course N-Naruto."
Naruto grinned and he showed her the hand seals, this is for my favorite jutsu, it's helpful for everything you could think of. When it is dispelled you get its memories, you get the experience that it made. Meaning you can use it for training."
Hinata nodded and tried the hand seals. After the first try it didn't work, she let her head fall in disappointment and shame. "Hinata, don't worry about it. It took me forever to get this down."
Hinata nodded and continued to try. After a few hours, she still hadn't done it and was getting tired, Naruto called a stop for the moment. "Okay Hinata I need to look at your seal, sit down and I can take a look at it."
Hinata sighed obviously upset about not getting it down yet. "I-I'm s-sorry N-naruto."
Naruto shook his head and took out a marker. He drew the leaf symbol on her hand and told her, "You are going to work on light chakra control exercises while I look at this, channel chakra into the middle of that symbol," Naruto told her before handing her a stick, "Use your chakra to make this stick to your hand, just like you once did when we did the tree climbing exercises."
Hinata nodded and started to work on it as Naruto lifted her bangs out of the way, and placed his hand on the seal. He explored the seal with his chakra focusing hard, trying to find if there was a key and what it could be. After he explored all aspects of the seal, he found nothing. He cursed and shook his head, "Hinata, this will take some research I will have to look into it in order to find a way to unseal you. I'm sorry. While I can't unseal you, I am going to put a seal on top of it. Because of its complexity, I can't stop it from doing what it was made to do, I will put a seal on top of it, that I will notify me if it is activated. I should be able to get to you and help you if that is the case."
Hinata nodded really sad, "I-It's Okay N-Naruto. Y-you tried."
Naruto nodded, "Hinata, I will find a way to unseal you. I swear I will."
Hinata looked at him and nodded, "I-I know N-naruto. T-thank you." She leaned forward and hugged him tight. She held him as tight as she could and the two sat there for a moment, Naruto playing with her hair.
After a while Naruto got up pulling Hinata with him, "Hina, let's get that shadow clone jutsu down for you."
Hinata nodded and stood up working on it, after a few more hours Hinata finally got it. Naruto shouted in joy, hugging the girl as she actually got kind of excited. "N-Naruto I-I got it."
Naruto nodded, "You did great Hina, I knew you could do it! And you did it faster than I did."
Hinata blushed at the praise, "T-thank you N-naruto. For e-everything."
