Author: I got two review's on the first chapter, that's never really happened before on one of my serious fanfic's, so I thank all that reviewed. I kinda planned on updating every two weeks ,but I had some free time, so I was able to work on the second chapter. I was to lazy to decide on who Naruto would be paired with so I'll let you guy's decide for me.
Pairings I will do.
Naru/Hinata
Naru/Tenten
Naru/Ayame ( the ramen stand waitress )
Naru/Tayuya ( from the sound five )
Naru/Temari
Naru/Kin ( from the sound team in the chuunin exams.)
Naru/ (Female) Haku
Naru/ ( Female) Kyuubi
Screw it all and go with a Naruto harem.
Parings that I will NOT except.
Naru/Saku
Naru/Ino
NO yaoi what so EVER
The harem will be between Naruto and 2-4 girls, whatever number I feel like. Another thing, If I don't get enough votes, then I'll just choose randomly, so it's up to you guys.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto.
Enjoy the fic.

A youthful greeting
Several weeks had past since Naruto and Hinata met. They usual would meet in a signed locations like the forest or the Ichiraku ramen stand. They tried to met at the park once. They noticed a kid with black hair and sunglasses and tried to talk to him. That was until the parents saw Naruto and chased him off while screaming threat's at him. Naruto even showed Hinata the seal on his left shoulder.
Currently Naruto was running through the forest to another meeting. The reason they chose forest this time was because the villager's were getting a little restless with having Naruto around so much, since he usually either stayed in side his house or in the forest all day (except when he went to Ichiraku's ). When he finally reached the location, Naruto saw Hinata sitting by the river. An idea slowly formed in Naruto's mind as a grin grew on his face...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata was thinking about what had happened in the past couple of days. They were forced to meet pretty far from the village, do to the villagers dis-liking of Naruto. She couldn't understand why they hated Naruto, he was a kind and gentle person. Actually he was the first person to show her kindness without wanting something in return.
"I hope Naruto-kun can make it today." Thought Hinata, as her face showed a worried expression. There had been a couple of times when Naruto wasn't able to meet with her, due to the villagers. She had even come across one time when she had witnessed some of the villagers beating him. She would have fought them off ( due to her family training, she was already at genin level, and the villager's were civilians.) , if Naruto hadn't looked at her and shook his head slightly, mouthing the words. " Don't interfere." All Hinata could do was watch from the shadow's, as he dragged himself out of the village. When they meet at the stream a little later, she asked him why he wouldn't had let her help. He just smiled at her.
" Sorry Hinata-chan, this is one thing I have to do on my own."
" Besides...they may hit you as well."
Hinata sighed, as she continued to wait. She started to have a strange feeling like something was going to happen, but shook it off. She slowly stood up and brushed herself off, a second later disappearing in a puff of smoke, as Naruto now stood in Hinata's place being hit by his own chakra made water balloon ( See chapter 1 for details.)
"No fare hitting me with my own balloon!" Naruto yelled, as he pointed to the section of the forest that Hinata was walking out from.
S-sorry N-Naruto-kun, b-but it's f-free f-for all." replied Hinata, while she formed a water balloon and threw it at Naruto. Soon the entire area became like a battlefield, as they went at it with chakra made water balloons. After a couple off minutes of throwing balloons, they decided to rest in one of the tree's, Hinata was sitting on one branch and Naruto was lying on a branch a little higher up. Their was a comfortable silence between the two, until Hinata decided to speak up.
"N-Naruto-kun... W-why do all t-the v-villagers h-hate y-you?" she asked as she looked up at Naruto. He thought for a moment before shrugging.
"I don't know...they just always have."
"B-but t-there h-has to be a r-reason w-why they c-call y-you d-demon b-brat."
" Ten to one, they probably have a reason for it. I'm not saying it's a good reason, but a reason never the less."
"S-Still N-Naruto-kun I..." Hinata was cut off as they heard a loud noise and saw a large dust cloud burst up from the ground about a mile away ( they were in a tree remember ?) Naruto and Hinata glanced at each other, before jumping out of the tree and running towards the source of the nosie. They slowed down their pace as they reached a clearing full of smoke. When it finally cleared, they saw a big crater with a boy standing in the middle jumping up and down, while what looked like...crying.
" I'VE DONE IT GAI-SENSEI! I'VE FINALLY DONE IT! THE BURNING YOUTH IS IN ME!" yelled the boy as he continued to jump up and down. The boy stopped for a moment, before looking in Naruto's and Hinata's direction. "I know your there, show yourselves." Both were shocked that the boy noticed them. Naruto sighed as he grabbed Hinata's hand , of course causing her to blush, and walked out to meet the boy.
The boy looked strange, he had short black hair and THICK eye brows. He wore a green suit and bandage's around his hands. About half way to the boy, Naruto let go of Hinata's hand and continued on his own
"We're sorry, we were just interested in what made that noise." Naruto said, as the boy's face instantly lit up.
"THAT WAS JUST MY SPIRT OF YOUTH! I AM ROCK LEE! " The boy said, as he posed, causing Naruto and Hinata to sweat drop.
"It's nice to meet you. I am Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto then pointed towards Hinata. " and this is Hyuuga Hinata."
Lee nodded. " THE SPIRT OF YOUTH IS BURNING WITH IN YOU! ALLOW ME TO ACCOMPANY YOU TODAY, AS WE SHOW ARE BURNING PASSION!" Naruto looked over at Hinata, who had a confused expression on her face, before turning back to Lee and shrugging.
"Sure, why not, just try to keep the volume down..."
They had been walking around aimlessly for several hours now. Naruto had to repeatedly came Lee down as he yelled about the spirt of youth. He was a nice guy and treated Naruto with respect, even if it was in his own way of showing it ( spirt of youth yells, jumping up and down, challenging Naruto, etc). They were pretty much bored the entire time and Lee's, however a nice guy he may be, yells were not making things any better.
" ALL OF KOHONAH SHALL BARE WITNESS TO ARE FLAMES OF YOUTH! ARE PASSION! ARE SPIRT! ARE..." Lee's mouth was covered by Naruto's had as he still went on about flaming youth.
" Lee...shut up." Naruto said, as he watch Lee try to tell him something, but couldn't make out what it was.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" asked Naruto, removing his hand
"I said, YOU CAN NOT SILENCE ARE FLAMING YOUTH! FOR IT SHOW'S ARE PASSION! ARE SPIRTS! ARE..." Lee was cut off yet again ( thank god ) by a noise coming from around the corner. The three looked at each other, before slowly walking up towards the corner. When they got their, they saw a little girl crying with a man in white robes standing next to her.
" ...And then when asked the boy with sunglasses and spiky hair to play with me, he said he couldn't, because he had to look for something. When I asked him if I could help, he said no and left me all alone..." the girl cried a little more, as the man adopted a thinking position. A few seconds later his face lit up, as he formed a few seals. He closed his hand and ,what looked like, blew on his hands. He signaled for the girl to come closer, as he lowered his hand downward towards the girl. When his hand was in front of her face, he opened it to revel a few very small golden butterflies ( what else would come out ). The girls face instantly lit up, as she watched the butterflies until they finally disappeared.
"Feel better?" asked the man, as the girl nodded a bit." Would you like me to teach you how to do it?" The girl nodded her head vigorously. "Meet me here tomorrow evening and I'll." The girl smiled and nodded once, running off towards the park, but not before turning back to the man and waving. "Bye Hokage-sama."
The Hokage smiled and waved back. " Bye Sakura-chan." When the girl finally left, the Hokage's face hardened. " You know it's not nice to spy on people, Naruto." The Hokage's face dropped into a smile, as Naruto stepped out from behind the corner and rubbed the back side of his head, while a nervous smile plastered it self on Naruto's face.
"Crap, how dose every one keep noticing me.." "Sorry Oiji-san, but we were just wondering who was crying." The Hokage nodded before looking over at the corner. " Who are your friends Naruto-kun?" At this point Naruto's face was beaming. He singled them to come, as Lee pretty much dragged Hinata over to meet the Hokage.
Naruto smiled a bit. " Oiji-san, this is Hyuuga Hinata." He said, as he pointed towards Hinata, who was pushing her fingers together and looking at the ground. " And this is Rock lee." he said, as he pointed towards Lee, who pumped his fist in the air and for some reason looked like he had fire going in his eye's. " Guy's this is Oiji-san." Naruto said, as he pointed towards the Hokage, who was smoking his pipe.
"H-He-llo H-Hokage-sama." Hinata said, still pushing her fingers together.
"It's an honor to meet you Hokage-sama, such a person WHO IS FULL OF SUCH MAJESTIC YOUTH! THE SPIRT OF YOUTH SHINES WITH A BURNING PASSION! IT..." Lee mouth was yet again covered by Naruto's hand, as he sighed.
"Sorry Oiji-san, he can get carried away at times." Naruto said, as he looked over at Lee who was still talking about youth. The Hokage laughed at this.
"It's okay Naruto, by the way, could I speak with you privately for a moment?" asked the Hokage, as Naruto nodded. He then turned around to face Hinata. "Watch him."
Hinata nodded, as she listened to Lee go on and on about youth, while Naruto and the Hokage walked toward's an alleyway, once the Third made sure no one was watching his face hardened again. " Naruto, the number of report's about the murder attempts and beatings you have received from the villagers have increased lately. Did you, by chance show anyone or let anyone see your gift by accident?" the Hokage asked, as he watched Naruto, waiting for an answer.
The only person that has seen it was Hinata and I already made her promise to not tell anyone." Naruto replied.
The Hokage did not look pleased with the answer he was given. " Seriously Naruto, if anyone finds out you have that summoning seal, their would be an uproar, I wouldn't even be able to help you."
"I don't understand what's so special about this particular summoning. I mean they shouldn't be afraid, since I can't even use it." Naruto said, as frustration started to form inside of him. The Hokage sighed and bent down to Naruto's height. "Naruto, their afraid of what will happen when you do use it."
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto, as his face formed a confused expression.
"It's nothing, just promise me that you won't tell any one else."
Naruto thought for a moment. "Fine.." he said, as the Hokage smiled.
"Good, now go play with your friends." Naruto did a salute before running off to save Hinata from her fate. A frown formed on the Thirds face. "I can only hope to be there for him when the real reason behind the summoning seal is reveled. At least he made some friends, but who would have thought they would be the Hyuuga heir and Gai's student..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After saving Hinata from having to listen to Lee rant on about the spirt of youth, they all continued to wonder aimlessly around the town. Both Hinata and Lee noticed the glares that Naruto were receiving from the villagers, But since he acted like he never received any at all, they just kept quite about it. Soon they were forced to separate due to how late it was getting, Hinata having to return home and Lee needing to do some late night training. Naruto left for Tsunade's house, since his mother was not back from her mission yet. Naruto was surprised to say the lest when he managed to make it to Tsunade's house with out receiving a beating from the villager's.
"Weird..." Thought Naruto, as he walked up towards the door of Tsunade's house. "They would have at least thrown stones by now." He turned the nob, as he walked inside, it was a decent two story house nothing all that special about it. All the essentials were in the house and two guest rooms. Actually one guest room and his room, it might as well be his room since he stayed at Tsunade's house most of the time.
" Yo, I'm home!"He yelled, as he walked into the living room, to see Shizune on the couch. Shizune looked up from her book and smiled at Naruto. " Hello Naruto-kun." Naruto looked at her with his famous grin. " Hello Shizune-chan!" He then proceeded to run towards the couch, jumped, and land next to Shizune.
" I give it a 8.5 "
"Damn." Naruto replied, as he pouted a bit.
"So how was your day Naruto-kun?" Shizune asked, while closing her book and putting it on a nearby table.
Naruto's face broke into another grin. " I managed to make another friend today."
"Oh, really?" This had really caught her attention now.
"Ya, he said his name was Lee."
"It's possible..." thought Shizune, as she continued to listen to Naruto.
"And he kept going on and on about the spirt of youth..."
"Yep, defiantly Gai's student." Shizune thought, as she sweat dropped. For the rest of the day, Shizune listened to Naruto, while he told her about what had happened and how he was excited for having two friends. Soon it was time to go to bed. Naruto went to sleep with a smile plastered on his face...

Feel free to ask any questions about the story and please tell me what you think about the story. I'm a little afraid that I didn't catch the true essence of Lee. Like before, please read and review.
