Hi Guys, Mangalove here I hope you're liking the story so far This chapter is the beginning of some drama but it's still funny at the same time but, I promise I'll make it up to you guys with a really fluffy chapter next week. In my story Neji is still alive and I`ll explain this chapter. The story takes place right after the war so everyone is at home resting predominately.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of its characters but I do own poop Kun XD!
The sun was beating down as konohas most mysterious man stuck his head outside of the front door of the Hyuuga manor. Drawing a lot of attention since Hiashi rarely left unless on official clan business, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead from the august heat he squinted his eyes not wanting to attract the gaze of his fellow clansmen.
He searched for the elusive mailman who was running behind. Could he have possibly been kidnapped? Did someone discover his secret? It was very unlikely since the precautions he took to ensure the safety of his weekly package were extreme to the point of being barbaric why just last week he air palmed and elder who happened to be returning and collected the mail from said mail carrier.
After careful inspection he realized he overreacted but, surmised that it was best he did not take the risk of his secret being exposed.
He used to have the package delivered to a safe deposit box but once his personal bodyguards insisted on accompanying him to pick up the parcel, he could not risk curiosity overtaking his subordinates and them using the byakugan to discover what was inside.
"Ohaiyo Hiashi sama." With a slight nod of his head Hiashi proceeded back inside only to notice his youngest daughter Hanabi make a dash for the door. Swiftly turning back around Hiashi noticed in the distance a figure carrying a small bag at his hip. With reflexes befitting a ninja of his stature he grabbed Hanabi by the collar of her shirt and unceremoniously through her back inside and closed the door he the cleared the leap from the doorstep to the pathway in front of their house to greet the mailman.
"Hello Hiashi sama." With a curt nod Hiashi retrieved his package as well as the rest of the Hyuuga mail and ran back inside where he deposited everything else on the table.
Just then Hanabi jumped from the ceiling kunai in hand, he quickly sidestepped the strike and ducked her follow-up attack and with a low sweep knocked her off her feet.
"Ouch you're such a meanie father I deserve to know what it is you get every week. "hn." Hiashi replied with little interest and proceeded to his room. Checking all directions he closed his door and put up a privacy barrier to keep prying eyes away.
He pretended to take the special gold foil off of his parcel when Neji appeared and made a grab for it. With a swift chop to the back of the neck Hiashi deposited his nephew outside next to Hinata who had both eyes pressed against the door with her Byakugan activated. Slamming the door shut he opened the package to reveal…..
Xoxoxo
Sitting in her room reading a novel Hinata was sitting on her bed when a knock on the door interrupted her.
"Ano come in." Neji stuck his head through the door "phone for you."
He chucked the phone at her and she caught it and put the receiver to her ear figuring it was Tenten or Ino she answered "Hello?" only to be surprised at the person who greeted her at the other end. "Hi Hinata how ya doing?"
Frozen in place at Naruto unexpectedly calling she replied "Na…Naruto?" Neji smirked and left the room.
"Yep the one and only." The blonde replied enthusiastically "whatcha doing today?" "Err nothing today wh..why do you ask Naruto kun?" She nervously replied "well we were all gonna go celebrate at the teme`s place on the outskirts of the village and, I wanted to see if you would come."
Shocked that Naruto was inviting her anywhere Hinata had to ask why they were celebrating. "Oh Neji didn't tell you? Sasuke and I just got promoted to Chunin." "Oh. Congratulations." Hinata quietly replied. "Hey Thanks I hope you can make it." Naruto replied "I really had fun at ichirakus the other day even though you passed out." Hinata blushed a deep shade of red at that "I'm sorry I didn't mean." "Don't worry about it. Naruto cut off her apology "well I have to get ready I hope to see you there." With that the blonde hung up the phone. Leaving Hinata to dwell on what they just talked about.
Naruto was moving pretty fast through the ranks since the war ended. The next Chunin exam wasn't supposed to be for two years but in honor of the shinobi`s service in the previous war Tsunade and Gaara managed to FastTrack the exams for everyone who was due a promotion. Kakashi was preparing to take over as Hokage and Sasuke had been welcomed back to the village with open arms once everyone heard what happened while they were under the infinite Tsukuyomi minus Narutos fight with Sasuke.
Hinata couldn't help but think about how her life was changed by the war. She almost lost her cousin but it was Madera's use of the rebirth technique after Kaguya`s sealing that brought him back.
If only she were stronger she could protect those she cared about. She had just finished changing into a purple sundress with white spots and her sandals when a knock brought her out of her musings.
"Hinata sama are you coming? Im getting ready to head out." She walked to the door to join Neji in the hall and found him dressed in a white polo shirt with blue khaki shorts and his hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Hey I`m ready." With a nod the two set off for the other side of the village.
Xoxoxo
"So there I was about to hit Kakashi with a rasengan when out of nowhere grandma Tsunade thrashed me with a right cross.
I thought I was done for because Kakashi sensei was charging up a raikiri running at me full speed when teme over there intercepted him with a chidori, luckily at that moment Shikamaru managed to catch a distracted Yamato in his shadow that's when me and my clones rushed granny Tsunade and pinned her down so Sasuke could grab the flag."
Everyone was sitting in Sasuke`s living room listening to Naruto recount how they passed the exam. "Wait so how did Sasuke get past Kakashi sensei? Tenten asked "well it was a drag but luckily Naruto here is a pervert who likes to expose the private lady parts of older women." Shikamaru explained "Hey it's not my fault when I grabbed her, her boobs came out of her shirt I was traumatized."
"Baka!" Sakura yelled hitting Naruto over the head. "Ouch I didn't mean for it to happen." He tried to explain.
"Luckily." Shikamaru cut in "your Sensei is a pervert because Kakashi immediately focused on our exposed Hokage and Sasuke was able to just walk over and grab their team's flag winning us the match.
Everyone exploded with laughter at what had been another epic moment from konohas number 1 most unpredictable ninja.
"Hey Hinata." The blond gossip chirped looking to gain the attention of the pale petit Hinata who was trying to suppress a giggle behind the sleeve of her jacket.
"Yeah Ino san?" the Hyuuga heiress inquired "So when are you and Naruto going out again?" At that Tenten and kiba fell over in shock, lee stood up to proclaim the wonders of two people in the springtime of their youth, Shikamaru put his head down muttering troublesome Sakura looked at Naruto incredulously while he scratched the back of his head confused because he thought he was the only Naruto in the village Sasuke muttered Hyuuga and the dobe hmpf wile smirking to which Neji calmly asked Hinata to explain to which she blushed 20 different shades of red.
"Well Hinata explain Neji asked his facial expression not betraying the slightest bit of emotion. "I Uh Ano." Hinata stuttered at a loss for what to say.
"Naruto when were you going to tell me that you were dating Hinata?" Sakura asked clearly ticked
"Huh I'm not dating Hinata she'll never talk to someone like me." He tried reasoning to which many face palmed at his ignorance of the Hyuuga princesses feelings towards him but, Lee unintentionally let the cat out of the bag
"Surely Naruto you know Hinata likes you?" at this everyone's jaw dropped while if possible Hinata blushed even deeper. But Naruto had heard it and shocked as he was he turned towards her a serious expression on his face.
"Is this true Hinata?" Silence filled the room no one dared to speak all eyes were directed towards Naruto and Hinata who looked as though she was considering running for the door and Naruto who's eyes held a mixture of hurt and guilt. "Yes I Like You! The proclamation rang out through the home everyone was shocked at Hinata's boldness and it wasn't until Naruto stood up and walked out of the room did anyone dare make a sound but what could be heard was a door slam behind him as the blonde stormed out in a fury.
Xoxoxoxo
Hinata was sitting alone in her room with her face in between her legs tears had been silently streaming down her face off and on for the last few hours. To say she was hurt was an understatement she was devastated, she knew there was no way Naruto could ever like her but she didn't fathom it would be enough to make him completely go off in a fit of anger.
Hinata was roused from her musings by a knock on her door. Quickly wiping her face off on her sheets she walked over to her door and opened it to reveal Neji standing there his hands in his pocket looking at her with his usual emotionless smile however Hinata had known him long enough to know that there was a bit of anger hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"Hinata sama, you have a visitor." She looked past Neji to see none other than the current source of her problems Naruto standing behind him.
"Hinata can we talk?" he said his voice completely devoid of the usual cheer and excitement it usually held. She gave a silent nod to Neji and opened the door wider indicating that Naruto should come in her room.
"Listen Hinata." he started "I didn't mean to rush off but I was so angry I didn't know what to do."
Hinata sat on her bed with her head down while he stood up looking at her with a solemn expression on his face.
"I couldn't believe that someone would put you up to pretending you liked me to try and get more favor in the leaf village." At this her head perked up slightly what was he talking about?
"Was it your father? You can tell me I won't say anything."
"Naruto what are you talking about?" Hinata was earnestly confused at what our favorite blond was referring to.
"Well surely someone told you to try and get with me so you can try to influence my future decisions in the village."
Hinata was shocked at this proclamation and disgusted he thought so little of her.
"Listen Naruto I don't know…" "you don't have to lie anymore Hinata I've had girls from different villages approach me all claiming to have admire me for one reason or another wearing all kinds of revealing outfits thinking I'm as shameless as ero sennin." He rambled on "I mean I never expected the Hyuuga clan to come after me but it's understandable considering I`m being trained to take over as hokage in a few years."
At this Hinata put her head back down she once again felt bad, not because of Narutos accusations but she never thought about how his current status as Hero/representative of the Namikaze Uzamaki clan as well as future hokage might have garnered him unwanted attention.
"Hinata I don't want my friends acting different around me so you can drop the act its ok." He ended
"But Naruto it's not an act." She mumbled
"Huh Hinata you say something."
She lifted her head a little and stared him straight in the eye. "It's not an act I do like you." "Come on Hinata cut the crap look at you, you're smart, pretty, heiress of a clan you could practically have anyone you want. I mean…"
Hinata got up in the middle of Narutos rambling and closed the distance between the two of them and slapped him full across the face. Naruto stood their stunned looking at the heiress surprised she would slap him but, what she did next surprised him the most she lifted both hands to his face and brought her lips to his in a soft tender kiss. She tried to convey every bit of feeling she could in that moment. Hinata felt Naruto tense up but seconds later she could only guess he understood the message because he dropped all precaution and wrapped both arms around her in embrace and started to return the kiss.
