Naruto and Hinata had finally set up their restaurant, they each had a clone working in the restaurant, and Naruto was for the first time in a while taking a look at Hinata's forehead. Naruto sent a bit of chakra into the Caged bird seal, he went slowly using as little chakra as he could, trying to feel out any possible key. He had done this a few times and it was like an incrediblely difficult maze, that would give Hinata pain if he hit a dead end. Naruto had hit the dead ends before, and when he did it caused Hinata a good amount of pain.
After the first few errors Hinata had stopped him, telling him the pain was too great when she knew there was no possible key. It was impossible for him to break. It had taken months to convince her to finally let him poke around more. Especially since they didn't have much to do. He sent his chakra left right left left right, then came to a three way split he had yet to see before, he tried to sense which was the correct way but the seal was too complicated, he guessed middle and sent his chakra only to peel away shaking his hand at the voltage sent through it. He cursed as Hinata let out an agonized grunt holding her forehead.
"That one hurt worse than the ones before." Hinata told him, "You must be getting closer, but I can't take much more of those shocks. She shook her head trying to clear it.
"Are you ready for me to continue? Its just going to be a little painful but as long as we keep going we will eventually find the key. Then I can free you of this burden." Naruto asked her.
Hinata sighed, "It hurts a lot. How many more times will I get that shock? Will it get worse?" Hinata asked him.
"I don't know Hinata, it's a complicated seal, there could be a lot more shocks. I'm sorry but there is no established seal key and I can't just break the seal, it would kill you." Naruto told her.
"Fine, try again." Hinata pouted, not happy about it one bit.
Naruto tried again this time going through to the three-way split and choosing right, he was correct and sighed, hitting the next split he went down the right side a good way with his chakra but hit a dead end, he cursed as his hand was shocked again and Hinata cried out, this time unable to stop the few tears run down her cheeks. "That one really hurt Naru."
"Okay Hinata, that's enough for tonight, the shop is closed down, but there wasn't a whole lot of mention of the leader. Let's go grab some drinks at the tavern down the road see if we can hear anything about leader that stands out." Naruto told her.
Hinata nodded still holding her head, "Yeah, lets grab dinner too right?"
Naruto chuckled "Sure, what did you want to eat?"
"We can just eat at the tavern, try out their food." Hinata responded as she got dressed, and Naruto did the same in civilian clothes. They left walking down the street to the tavern. Hinata sighed as she saw how tense Naruto was, not his Menma image the seal gave off, but the actual Naruto. He had been incredibly tense since they got into the village, yet he wouldn't tell her what was bothering her. They had been acting as husband and wife, yet she had never felt quite so far from him, he wouldn't open up about the tense foreboding he had.
When they got to the tavern they chose a table in the center of the room, where they could hear everything being said. Naruto had trained enough that he could hear multiple conversations at once, while keeping up his own conversation, combined with the added hearing Kurama gave him since birth this was the perfect kind of mission. They ordered burgers and fries and went ahead and ate, Naruto ordered an ale to go with his meal, while Hinata didn't drink with dinner.
After dinner they ordered a bottle of Sake and drank that together. Just chatting about random things, they joked and laughed with the Sake as Naruto listened to other conversations. The two looked like they were the perfect husband and wife couple. However, Hinata was getting upset, she would have to have a talk with Naruto later tonight.
Naruto perked up slightly, as he heard something about Leader, but then immediately scowled, he told Hinata under his breath, "I picked up on something but the gate guard from when we entered is coming this way, take lead on the conversation, I'll chime in here and there."
Hinata gave a slight nod as Naruto continued listening to the other conversation as the guard walked up, "How did the move in go? Did you get everything settled in?" The guard asked.
Hinata nodded, "We sure did! Thanks for asking, how is your day going?"
"Fine, I just got off my guard rotation and wanted to get a drink. I saw you guys and figured I would check up on the two of you." The man said.
Hinata smiled, "Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?"
"Boren, and remind me of yours?" The man now identified as Boren stated.
"My name is Hikari, and this is my husband Menma." Naruto smiled at him and shook his hand.
"Thanks for checking up on us Boren." Menma told him.
Boren grinned, "My pleasure Menma. Hikari, what do you guys serve in that restaurant anyways?"
Menma raised an eyebrow at Boren talking directly to Hikari instead of him, he growled slightly but was ignored by both. He shrugged and continued listening in on the conversation about leader.
"Well we serve a multitude of things; our signature dish is definitely my husband's ramen." Hikari responded.
"Ramen? That's interesting, well hey I have a day off tomorrow, would you like me to show you around the village while your husband holds down the shop." Boren asked.
Hikari squinted slightly, "Uhm, Menma what do you think?"
"What you aren't allowed out without your husband's consent?" Boren asked.
"No, she just respects me enough to ask my opinion before just going out with another guy. I'm not sure I like what your assuming about me." Menma responded glaring at the man.
"Menma, its alright, our customs from back home may not be the same as they are here, I'd love to see the village thank you Boren." Hikari responded, trying to calm Menma down so he wouldn't make a scene with one of the gaurds.
The guard smiled, "Great I'll grab lunch there then we can go on the tour. I wish you could come too Menma but someone has to run the shop right?"
"Yes, your lunch will be on the house tomorrow Boren, thank you for your kindness." Hikari said before Menma could say anything.
Boren nodded and turned around, "Sounds great!" He said as he waved goodbye grinning.
Menma sighed, he finished his drink and gave Hikari a look telling her to finish her own drink. She nodded and downed it and the stood up, paid their bill and left, they went home. Waiting until they got home to their room above the shop.
They got there and Hinata sighed, "What is it Naruto?"
"I don't like that guard something is off." Naruto told her.
Hinata sighed, "Naru, I think you are just being jealous, its coming off as you are being possessive of me. I'm your girlfriend, not your property."
Naruto glared at her, "He was being odd, something was off Hinata. I'm not saying you can't go, you already offered him free lunch and said you'd go. I'm just saying be careful." He growled out.
Hinata reeled back in shock, Naruto hadn't used that kind of tone with her in a while, "What is your problem."
"What was that?" Naruto asked shocked.
"You've been stressed out since we got here and won't tell me about it, now you're being mean." Hinata told him.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Hinata, I'm not stressed out-"
"Bullshit!" Hinata interrupted him, "Don't lie to me Naruto."
Naruto glared again, "Fine. It's the chakra I sense, its pure evil. There is an evil person here, but I can't tell who it is. There is a darkness in this village, Kurama can sense it too."
"Why wouldn't you tell me that?!" Hinata asked frustrated.
"I didn't want to worry you, and besides I can smell the snake has been here, Kabuto too." Naruto told her. "Did you ever consider that's why I don't want you going out?"
Hinata looked down upset with herself, "N-No, I'm sorry. I don't think he has anything to do with Orochimaru or Kabuto though."
"Fine do what you want Hinata." Naruto told her.
"What did you find out in the tavern?" Hinata asked him, ignoring him.
"I found out leader is looking for another person to send to Orochimaru it seems. He is deciding who to send. He had those particular ninja gathering files and they were worried about who he was going to send. Worried that he was going to continue to deplete their forces." Naruto growled at her.
Hinata raised her eyebrow at him, "Why are you being so mean now?"
"Because you accused me of being similar to Kabuto, that I thought of you as my possession." Naruto growled, before turning and taking his shirt and pants off getting into bed and turning towards the wall away from her.
Hinata cursed, "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that."
"Well it sure as hell sounded like that. I'm not Kabuto Hinata. I'm worried about your well being not that you are my object." Naruto told her.
Hinata frowned and took off her own clothes for the night, she grabbed Naruto's clothes and put them in the dirty clothes for him, she then took off her bra and replaced it with a T-shirt, and then climbed into the bed next to Naruto. She kissed the top of his head, "I'm sorry Naru, I know you care for me, I'm having a hard time I guess. I'm still messed up a little and I don't want…no that isn't it…I can't be owned again, I can't be someone's pet again. I know that isn't what you want, but I have to be able to go out on my own at some point. Without you. I'm not allowed to in the village, but here no one has the ability to activate my seal, I can walk around freely. Kabuto isn't here, you said so yourself."
Naruto sighed, "That doesn't mean this Boren guy is a good guy."
Hinata nodded, "I'm aware, but he asked to show me around town and we don't know the culture here, if he asked me in front of my husband it's probably something that is considered commonplace around here. If I'd have said no it could have looked like we aren't trying to assimilate to the new culture."
Naruto sighed, "You're probably right there, I don't have to like it though…Come here." Hinata grinned and allowed Naruto to pull her into his arms as she cuddled in tight. Naruto sighed there was something off, but he had decided he was just going to tail Hinata tomorrow, he wouldn't let her out of his sight with this strange man.
