"Jirayah?"asked the leader inquisitively. Itachi stood before the entire organazation. Itachi nodded. "There's no need to engage him now. Only attack if he becomes a threat"said the leader.

Hinata sat on the sidewalk, holding the side of her head. "I should have that kid killed"she said. She seethed. "Damn, that hurt, he's strong. I wonder, could he be the one with kyuubi? Hmm, I can't just say it's him, I need proof. I heared the jounin say his name was Rock Lee. Well Lee, if you are the one, you'll have made my day"said Hinata getting up.

Hinata went back up the trail where she had met them before, but she was much more caustious, ready to fend off Lee if he came leaping out at her again. Even a breaking branch made her jump. "Damn it Hinata, clam down"she thought. She stopped when she heared something repeatedly smack against a tree, as well as someone yelling "Aiah!" She rushed out towards the sound, trying to be careful of making too much noise. She finally caught a glimpse of Lee kicking a wooden post, then hid herself. "Allright, let's see if he uses any power. Kyuubi chakra is orange and that color is exclusive to kyuubi chakra, so if there's any orange chakra, then that means he's the one"thought Hinata. "530, 531, 532-

"He's been doing that many? Man, he really must have kyuubi"thought Hinata. Hinata lost track of time, watching him and waiting for any sign of kyuubi chakra but he did not show any. "Damn it, this is a waste of time. If he won't use it training, let's see him using it during a real fight"thought Hinata, taking out a shuriken. She thrust them out at Lee immidiately. Lee easily dodged them. "Who's out there?"asked Lee. Hinata hid behind the tree. "Damn, no chakra. I hope itachi's here"thought Hinata. Lee was coming closer, no doubt to check for intruders. Turning around she quickly grabbed a tree branch and pulled herself up on top of it. Too late, Lee was allready there. "You!"said Lee.

Hinata quickly thrust another out, Lee easily dodging it, giving her an opening. "I'll cut off his chakra points, then he'll have no choice but to use it"thought Hinata. Hinata got down and went for the first strike but Lee slapped her hand down. Hinata quickly spun up and went for it again but Lee used his palm to knock it down, Hinata then trying to sweep him but Lee leaped up in the air, and landed on his feet. "If this is about earlier, I am sorry"said Lee. Hinata rushed him, Lee pushing Hinata's palm down and stepping to the side but Hinata saw this coming, stiking him in the chest with her other palm. "Aw!"gasped Lee, feeling the blow to his heart.

Hinata acted quickly, getting another palm in.

"4 strikes! 8 strikes! 16 strikes! 32 strikes! 64 strikes! 128 strikes!"

Lee fell to his knees, holding his chest. He panted, unable to stand. "Allright, all his chakra points have been cut off, if he has the kyuubi chakra he'll have no choice but to use it"she thought. "That fighting style, are you a Hyuuga?"asked Lee. Hinata froze. She hadn't even thought about her fighting style giving her away. She had gone through rigorous training throughout her youth to perfect her Hyuuga techniques, despite not being trained by an actual Hyuuga.

"I don't know what you're talking about, now show me your hidden power"said Hinata. "Hidden power?"asked Lee. "Well, don't you have ANY more power?"asked Hinata. "Not, really"said Lee. Hinata quickly kicked him on the head, knocking Lee unconcious. "Well, that's one down"thought Hinata walking off.

Hinata, now back in town, sighed in frustration. "Damn it, what a waste of time. Where's that damn kyuubi?"asked Hinata. She heared a familia voice and immidiately hid behind a post. Naruto and Jirayah were walking by together. "So what does this Tsunade look like?"asked Naruto. "She's blond, had a red dot on herforehead, and wears a green jacket that says gamble, you'll know that's her when you see someone with all 3 of these"said Jirayah. "It's those 2"thought Hinata peeking.

She remembered Naruto offering his coupon to get her out of trouble, and scarfing down his ramen. "C'mon Hinata, focus. Sure the kid's nice but you have a job to do"she thought. "Why do we have to find her again?"asked Naruto. "The village needs a new hokage, and I'm not about to do it"said Jirayah. "Yeah, I really bet that's the reason, pervert"thought Hinata. "Hey, I bet you just want to do lewd things with her!"said Naruto. "Exactly what I was thinking"thought Hinata with a smile, but she quickly forced it down.

"Please, she'd hurt me worse then that blue haired girl. She's creepy"said Jirayah. "What did you call me!"yelled Hinata. Before she could rehide yourself, they spotted her. "AGH! It's her! The creepy girl who nearly broke my nose!"he yelled. "I should break it again you sexist pervert!"yelled Hinata. "Hey Rei!"said Naruto. Hinata looked to Naruto. "Hey there Naruto"she said. "Careful, she's dangerous!"said Jirayah taking cover behind him.

Hinata ignored him, walking up to Naruto. "Hey, I never did get to tahnk you for helping me out at the ramen shop"said Hinata. "Heh, no problem"said Naruto. "Why do you hang around with this guy?"asked Hinata. "He may not look it but he's one of the sanin, and he's been training me!"said Naruto. "A sanin? Hmm, he must be Jirayah, I know it's not Orochimaru and Tsunade's female"thought Hinata. "So she IS your girlfriend. She's not bad, a little flat though"said Jirayah. Hinata leaped right on top of Jirayah, punching him left and right. Naruto grabbed her around the waist but Hinata still went after him. "You, good for nothing, pervert!"she said. It took about 5 shadow clones to restrain her.

"Hey, why don't you come with us Rei?"asked Naruto. "What!"yelled Jirayah. The clones disapeared. "Hmm, following him may help"thought Hinata. "Allright"said Hinata. Jirayah had a mortified expression. "She'll be the death of me!"thought Jirayah, imagining Hinata stabbing him continiously.

Naruto looked around but Jirayah was gone. "Where did he go?"asked Naruto. "Well now that he's gone, can you give me that tour you promised earlier?"asked Hinata. "Uh sure"said Naruto. "Ah, the spirit of love is in the air"said Kakashi leaning at a building across from them, book in hand.

"Where did you come from!"yelled Naruto. "Take me take, she said with loning eyes"

"He's reading from a book"thought Hinata annoyed. She grabbed Naruto's hand. "C'mon, I've had it up to here with all these perverts!"said Hinata. Kakashi looked at them from the corner of his eye.

"This is the cemetary. These graves belong to the hokages"said Naruto. Naruto was gravely serious here. "I'm sad for them"lied Hinata.

Naruto showed her through various parts of town, saving one place for last. "This is my house!"said Naruto, stepping inside with her. "Lovely"she lied. The kitchen was a mess but other then that the house seemed average.

"And this is my room"said Naruto. Hinata noticed a framed picture of Kakashi with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. "Is that your team?"asked Hinata. "Yeah, that one's Sasuke, and she's Sakura, she's crazy about me"said Naruto. "Uchiha Sasuke?"asked Hinata. "Yeah"said Naruto. "So that's Itachi's little brother. Nowhere near as intimidating as Itachi. He looks pretty bitter though"thought Hinata. "All the girls are crazy over him but I never understood the big deal about him"said Naruto.

"If he's anything like his brother, then he could probaly care less about them"she thought. "Do you know him? You'r looking pretty intensely at that picture"said Naruto. "It's nothing. Thanks for the tour, I better get going"said Hinata. "Allright, see you around!"said Naruto. Hinata felt a tinge of sadness leaving. Was she starting to like the guy?
