Chapter 1: Homecoming

I do not own Naruto

By SallyPika

Is Naruto something special or what?

She just doesn't get why Hinata likes Naruto so much after all this time. She hasn't even given a glance to a man or woman. Its only Naruto and normally I would just leave it like that but for Hinata sake and my own curiosity I'm going to see what so special about Naruto.'

"...we should go right sensei, can we go? hello sensei shouldn't can we go" Kiba practically yells to his red eye curly haired sensei.

I blink, thinking what my student is talking about with his bright brown eyes seeking for my approval shaking with energy with his little Akamaru yelping like crazy on top of his wild spike out brown hair.

"Sensei" Kiba says like everyone should know. "the barbecue at Choji's family BBQ joint for Naruto, to welcome him back to the leaf village from his trip with Jiraiya-sama

Oh yeah now I know why I'm in my current predicament. Kakashi found out through Tsunade-sama that Naruto will be coming back this week and Kakashi-san told the other jonin (well Guy but he screamed it to the sky) at the bar and knowing Hinata's feelings I soon told her and she fainted

Fainted

Fainted

Fainted

…...

She's a Shinobi for crying out loud how can she faint just thinking about him I have to nip this in the butt before it gets worse So with the goal set in my mind, I order my team to follow my lead to choji's barbecue

Choji's families barbecue restaurant is as livelier than I remember at least forty or fifty stalls filled with excited and hungry customers waiting for their meat. I see team Ten and team Gai waiting in the Stalls with their sensei's.

Ino waves us over to the table excitably "guys team Seven will be here in a few minutes so sit down" she says with a smile.

Though she's looking at Hinata with a predatory look. Probably because she loves gossip and she knows that Hinata loves Naruto so in her mind a very juicy event will unfold. 'Well good for me I will be able to see what's so special about him.'

Not even a moment later Team seven comes in with Jarya-sama in toe. Kakashi bring in the front with sliver gravity defining hair and his lone eye locked on to his book. With Sakura in line talking excitably with the blond hair blue eyes jinchraki was a slightly less hideous jump suit. (seriously orange, that's not a ninja color).

His whiskers are prominent more than ever making him look feral even. Blond locks fall over his headband and his eye shine with excitement and barely contained energy. He runs passes by Sakura and Kakashi to his fellow rookies.

"Hey guys what's uplongtimenosee" Naruto chatters excitably

"Yo" shikamaru says

"Still orange!?" Ino practically yells 'though it's better then his last one.'she thinks with a grimace

"Definitely dattebayo" Naruto says pridefully

Shino nods to Naruto in a respectful manner though Naruto just waves with a grin.

"NARUTO YOU POWER OF YOUTH IS SPRINGING MY YOUTH!!!!"

Naruto sweat drops and nodes to Lee "Did you say something Lee?"

Kakashi, Sakura, Maito Guy, and Lee's eyes pop out of their head.

"NARUTO YOU AND YOU COOL HIP ATTITUDE YOU ARE MY NEW ETERNAL RIVAL!!"Lee states

Sakura just signs and sits down

Now, Naruto take a look at the rest of the group he spots Hinata blushing in the corner of the booth

"Oii Hinata how it hanging" he says while scratching the back of his head.

"Eepp" cries Hinata as she ducks her head and then says quietly

"Hello Naruto-kun"

"Hey you grow your hair out, it looks really nice" says Naruto with a cheesy grin

And………

She passed out

"HINATA, are you ok, Hinata

While Naruto, Kiba and Ino try to help her before she face faults meanwhile her sensei facepalms.

'What's so special about him?'

Hi,
