Special thanks to sasmith, Rose Tiger, luisdox, Einjeru Hatake, and DragoFae24 for their reviews let's get some more reviews on this one guys!
Hya! Hinata shouted as she thrusted a palm strike at Naruto, Naruto pushed her hand away, before going into a leg sweep and sweeping Hinata off of her feet. She groaned in pain as she landed and rolled over before climbing to her feet.
Her and Naruto had been training hard the last few days, after they had found out about Kushina, Hinata had discovered the fire in her belly and had come alive, she was working extremely hard and the two were sparring a lot. Naruto was still moving slow, and didn't have any access to his chakra at all, the civilian council had dropped charges, as they had no evidence and none of them wanted an investigation into their actions. However, the jonin council had yet to come to a decision, Naruto had a trial later that night, in which he had to appear in front of them and explain his actions, the council would then decide his fate, whether he was demoted, stripped of his ninja rank, or even thrown out of the village would yet to be seen. Best case scenario, he would be given a slap on the wrist, a list of "D" rank missions to complete and would keep his rank. That didn't seem likely however.
"Hinata you can't leave yourself open to attacks like that when you attack, from there I could have easily ended you. Let's take a break from sparring, I am going to up your weight seals and you are going to do physical work outs for a while, let's go ahead and go on our run, you ready?"
Hinata shook her head and looked at him determinedly, "One more round of spar." She said breathing hard. Naruto grinned at her and nodding, dropping effortlessly into his fighting stance as she did the same. She charged at him throwing a punch this time, Naruto dodged moving his head and sweeping the punch away from himself. He fired a strike into her side, stopping just before her ribs and lightly tapping her to know he had gotten a hit in. Hinata turned into a leg sweep and Naruto jumped over it and kicked at her head. Hinata bent over backwards dodging it before firing her feet over her head, going into a back handspring, just missing Naruto as he turned away from it. Hinata let her body roll over herself landing gently on her feet and showing her flexability.
"Good work Hinata, remember, you are fluid and uh, very flexible, use that to your advantage, move around my strikes, staying close enough to use your strikes. You don't need momentum and power when you hit, so get up inside someone's guard and fire your gentle fist into them. Think fluid like water."
Hinata nodded before charging in again, ducking under the punch Naruto threw bending around him and firing a palm strike into his side, before hitting his arm in multiple places, before Naruto turned and swiped his leg at her, pushing her away. "Good job Hinata, much better this time, that's enough."
Hinata was breathing hard but nodded, "Thank you Naruto-sensei."
Naruto nodded, both of them were sweating, Naruto had taught Hinata how to activate his own weight seals, he had a lot of weight on every seal. It had been a great workout for both of them, Naruto took the time to look Hinata over, she was wearing tight knee length workout pants, they were tight on her body, Naruto loved how she looked in these tight blue workout pants, he had a hard time staying objective with her, and on task. She wore a tight grey workout shirt, she was still very subconscious about the scars on her back and chest that wouldn't go away yet. At least that is what she had said, and for the most part it was true, she didn't mind so much that Naruto had seen her scars, it was the scar on her stomach that Kabuto had carved into her and the scars on her most private places that she didn't want Naruto to know were touched by those bastards.
Okay Hinata lets up our weights, and go for a run. Hinata nodded and applied twice the weight on each seal for all their seals. Naruto stretched slightly, watching as Hinata bent over and touched her toes to stretch. He took in all of her curves as she did, he was truly enamored by the woman in front of him, she was the only thing that was keeping him sane lately. They hadn't slept together again since she had helped him the night that he found out about his mom. Since she wasn't in bed with him, he hadn't slept well and neither had she. They had found each other in the living room both nights and talked for a while before trying to sleep again. Hinata really seemed to be getting better, he was a little worried that all she did was train, it kept her mind off of everything and she was very driven at the moment.
That night he found out his mom was alive had been a real turning point for him and Hinata, things were great with her, they were like best friends again. Kakashi on the other hand, Naruto hadn't seen him in the couple days since that meeting. He had tried to find the man, but there was no sign of him, nor Anko. Naruto was worried he had actually hurt the man.
Kakashi had in fact taken it hard and was avoiding Naruto on purpose, he was pretty upset with Naruto. The kid had a point sure, but it wasn't like he hadn't been here for him as long as he could be.
Naruto and Hinata started their run with a dead sprint, they were racing, and making it a contest around the village, Naruto had made an obstacle course with flags when they had started doing this, taking them around the village in a different route, going around buildings, over them, or through a building that Naruto knew was fine to go through. Naruto and Hinata would run this course, that zigzagged them around the entire village, multiple times to win. When they finished ten laps they were exhausted. This was their second run that day, they did two runs before they stopped and got back to Naruto's house. They then did pushups and crunches before doing pullups and other physical exercises. Naruto was pushing Hinata extremely hard. They finally stopped and Naruto pushed her through a training program with her bow, making her fire hundreds of arrows off into the targets in the room.
Naruto then handed her two daggers from the wall and took two himself and they worked together with dagger fighting. Naruto working on her form and making her go through the katas hundreds of times before they started to spar.
Naruto won the spar scoring light hits on her here and there, obviously, the seals protected them from being cut but Hinata still lost the spar. Hinata dropped to her knees breathing hard when Naruto called the match.
Hinata let's go get you in the hot springs so that you can relax a little. Hinata nodded and the two walked into the hot springs area. They both climbed in how they were and Naruto climbed in as well. This had become a ritual for them after their hard-ruthless training sessions.
After their session, Naruto went and got dressed, he had a trial to get to after all.
Naruto walked into the council chamber wearing a nice Kimono. Naruto bowed to them all and Kakashi spoke up, "Naruto Uzumaki, you are here to explain your actions in your most recent mission. What was said mission?"
Naruto cleared his throat, "The mission was to find the Hidden Waterfall village's Jinchuuriki Fu. Trying to stop the Akatsuki from capturing her."
Kakashi nodded, "During this mission you were reported as having endangered the mission and your team at a high level, in order to complete an objective that had nothing to do with the mission you were assigned. Please explain."
Naruto nodded, "Hinata Hyuga was given the caged bird seal without the permission of the clan head, she was then tortured with it, which is why Lord Hiashi brought her to me. I placed a new seal over the caged bird seal that would alert me if the caged bird seal was activated. During the mission, I was alerted that her seal was activated. Which leaves her completely defenseless to whatever they wanted. I love Hinata Hyuga, she is my betrothed, in accordance to a deal Lord Hiashi made with my father Minato Namikaze. I had already lost her once. I sent a clone with most of my chakra reserves here to save her. Admittedly I underestimated my opponent, thinking I could still beat him in this weakened state. It was a bad judgement call, but a call I would make again in order to save Hinata again. I will not apologize for following my gut as I have been taught my entire life. My teammate Shikamaru Nara was injured during the mission and I regret that and have made peace with him, I saved his life almost losing my own to do it. Hinata Hyuga is my most precious person on this Earth, I know you all know what it is like to lose a precious person, it is part of our job description. However, I would like to ask you all to keep in mind if you would have had a chance, any chance to saved that person, wouldn't you have taken it?"
There were murmurs going through the room as Naruto stood there, "So Tsume Inuzuka spoke up, why should you be allowed to keep your status, rank, or even to stay in the village after doing this and endangering the good of the village."
Naruto looked her dead in the eyes, "Lady Tsume, I have never been treated as part of this village, as you all well know. I have been treated like hell by everyone and yet I still put my life on the line for it daily, I have fought a tailed beast to save this village, I have brought back after two years of looking an heir to the most powerful clan in the village, then just saved her again. This village has done nothing but hurt me, yet I still put my life on the line for it daily. As to why I should keep my jonin rank there are but two people in this room who have a chance at beating me in a fight. Kakashi and Gai being the only two, along with my sensei Jiraiya I am one of the top five strongest ninja in this village and have worked hard for the title of Jonin."
There were more murmurs going through until Shukaku spoke up, "Naruto, you may have saved my son's life, but that was only after endangering him. You have his thanks, as well as mine, because you did save him, and almost died doing it, however you just told us you would do it again to save Hinata, let's say you do it again how can you guarantee that your team will live through the ordeal."
Naruto sighed, "I don't have an answer to that, I would risk my life to save any one of my comrades. My Sensei taught me that people who don't follow the rules are scum, however those that abandon comrades are worse than scum. I may be scum, but I sure as hell would never abandon a comrade."
There were more murmurs going through the chambers, "Naruto we have no more questions for the time being, please wait outside for a moment so we can take a vote and try to come to a verdict."
Naruto nodded, before bowing and walking out. He sighed as he waited for about thirty minutes until Kakashi walked out and pulled him back in, portraying no emotion. Naruto was worried at this point, Kakashi took his seat and began to speak, "Naruto Uzumaki, the council has come to the decision to strip you of your status as a ninja of Konoha.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW
This was not the civilian council, it was a council that is made up of the clan heads, as well as the multiple high ranking jonin. They put it to a vote..
