It had now been a week since the incident with Naruto's chakra burning Hinata's hands and arms. They along with Neji were heading over to the Konoha Hospital to have Tsunade check and see if she was Ok to start training again. Kyuubi and Umi had decided to stay at the house to start working on how to train the two. As they reached the hospital the group saw Sasuke exiting it.

" Oi Aniki." Naruto said waving to him

Sasuke smirked at this and walked over to the group seeing Hinata's injury, " Oi dope, Hinata what happened?"

" Sakura-chan didn't tell you?" Hinata questioned

Sasuke blushed a little from her question, " Ano sa, the hospitals been so busy lately I hardly get to see her. That's why I come by and talk to her on her breaks."

" That's nice of you Sasuke-kun." Hinata said smiling

He just scratched the side of his face, " Yeah anyway what happened?"

" It was my fault." Naruto said hanging his head

" Otouto?" Sasuke asked worried

" Naruto-kun." Hinata spoke upset at him

Naruto looked at her, " It was Hinata-chan it was my fault you got burned and haven't been able to train for a week."

" Now we talked about this it was both of our faults. Anyways, that's why we're here for Tsunade-sama to check me over and give me the ok to start training again." Hinata said trying to reassure him

" But what if…" Naruto was stopped as Sasuke hit him upside the head Naruto rubbed his head and glared at Sasuke, " Teme, what did you do that for?"

" It was an accident stop beating yourself up over it Otouto. Hinata knows you weren't to blame and she doing fine. So stop." Sasuke said annoyed at him

" I think you are hanging out with Sakura-chan to much Teme." Naruto said still rubbing his head

Sasuke smirked at him, " Is that so bad?"

" Iie, it's just you've picked up some of her violent tendencies." Naruto said smiling

" Is it violent or something to snap you out of being a baka?" Sasuke questioned

Naruto looked at him shocked never thinking of it that was, " Probably a little of both."

For a moment Sasuke activated his Sharigan and looked at Hinata he looked shocked for a moment but smiled.

" Sasuke?" Neji questioned

" Don't worry she's fine, better than before." Sasuke said walking off raising a hand to wave goodbye to them

" Teme wait what did you mean by that!" Naruto asked annoyed but Sasuke didn't turn to tell him he just continued walking as he disappeared in the crowd of villagers, " Just walks away without explaining anything. I think he's turning into Kakashi-sensei too."

" Is that bad?" Neji asked

Naruto smiled, " Iie, as long as he doesn't turn into a sukebei and starts reading Icha Icha Paradise."

" I don't think Sakura-chan would allow that." Hinata said smiling

Naruto looked at her, " She's pound him to the ground before she let him touch one of those books."

With that the three headed inside the hospital.


As they entered the hospital Sakura was still at the front. She saw the group and waved at them.

" Naruto, Hinata! Neji?" Sakura said waving

The three moved over towards Sakura, " Sakura-chan we're here to see Obaa-chan." Naruto said

Sakura nodded, " She's in her office, follow me."

With that the three followed Sakura to Tsunade's office. As the reacted the corridor they heard yelling from the room Hinata had occupied the week before.

" Hey! Don't wrap them so tight Tsunade-hime I'm fragile." A male voice said

" Fragile my ass. You're just lucky I didn't see you peeping." Tsunade said back annoyed

" Oh but I wouldn't have mind." The male said

" Oh no." Naruto said sensing what was about to happen

He grabbed the group and dove back as an object was slammed through the walls that they were just standing in front of.

" What was that?" Neji asked shocked

" Ero-sennin." Naruto and Sakura said

Naruto laughed Sakura had called Jiraiya his nickname. Sakura smiled knowing why he was laughing.

" As much as he's in that room for being caught peeping Naruto I think your nickname suits him well." Sakura said

" That it does, though mine's still in question." Tsunade said looking through the hole Jiraiya's body had made

Naruto smiled rubbing the back of his head, " Do you want me to tell them why?"

" NO!" Tsunade shouted, " Come in here Hinata so I can look you over. Naruto you and Neji stay there."

" Why?" Naruto asked

It was then Sakura hit him on top of the head.

" Arigatou Sakura." Tsunade said smiling

" Naruto you baka we have to have her remove her clothes to look her over." Sakura said annoyed

Naruto eyes grew wide as his face turned red. He didn't even notice the girls walk by him or Neji saying they should go sit down to wait for Hinata. Naruto was in a daze just standing there thinking of what Sakura had said.


Inside the room Tsunade had Sakura grab a hospital gown and hand it to Hinata, who went into the bathroom to change. While she was in there the two got everything they would need to check over Hinata to see how she was healing. The two had just finished getting everything out when Hinata emerged from the bathroom.

" Hinata please take a seat on the bed." Tsunade said motioning to the bed

Hinata nodded and did what she was told. Sakura came over to her and started to unwrap the bandages that were covering her hands and arms.

" Have they been hurting you?" Tsunade asked looking at her notes she had made a week ago

" Iie, just like the day I came in they didn't hurt badly they just stung. About three days ago though, that went away and they have felt alright." Hinata told her

" Have you been changing them?" Sakura asked

Hinata nodded, " Hai, Naruto-kun helped me since it was hard for me to do that by myself." Hinata told her

" Otouto helped then that's good." Tsunade said smiling

" I think he thought he had to." Hinata said

" Oh?" Tsunade questioned

" He still blames himself for it and for what's happened at the compound because of it." Hinata said upset at this

" At the compound? Hinata what are you talking about?" Tsunade asked confused

" You don't know? Otousan didn't come and tell you?" Hinata questioned shocked

" Iie, Hiashi hasn't come to see me at all. The last time I saw him was the day I had him come here because of you." Tsunade said


Naruto and Neji heard this and Naruto turned to Neji, " The elders wouldn't of tried to do anything to Hiashi, would they?"

Neji looked worried too, but knew they were wrong, " Iie, even if they are trying to control who will be the next heir. They wouldn't put the current head in danger for fear of having an enemy try to attack them when they're weakened."

" If you say so, but if that's true then why hasn't Hiashi come to tell Obaa-chan?" Naruto asked

" I don't know Naruto." Neji said now worrying about this news

" Neji-nii-san has been living with Naruto-kun and I for the last week." Hinata said

" Is it that bad?" Sakura questioned

" One of the elders saw me." Hinata said looking at Tsunade

Tsunade groaned and smacked her head, " I knew I should have made you go out the back way. Let me guess he went back and told the other?"

Hinata nodded, " That's only the half of it Tsunade-sama." Neji said from outside the room

" Oh you two can come in now." Tsunade said forgetting the two were out there, " Neji explain to me what's going on."

Neji explained everything to Tsunade about what the elders had decided, to Hinata's punishment if she lost. He even told her the reason he was staying with the two for the past week was because of Hiashi's orders. After all this was said Sakura was standing there shocked and Tsunade was on the verge of busting a blood vessel.

" So what are you planning on doing?" Tsunade asked Hinata

" I'm still going to fight her. Even if I don't like what the elders have done I need to stop them and if this is the only was so be it." Hinata said

Tsunade smiled at her, Seems like Otouto's rubbing off on her more everyday.

" Well then lets check you over and see if it's ok for you to start training again." Tsunade said

The two women started to form chakra to cover their hands to look over Hinata's body. As they were doing this, the two opened their eyes and looked at each other not saying anything.

" Hinata will you lay down for me?" Tsunade asked

Hinata nodded and did what she was told. Sakura went over to Tsunade's note as Tsunade scanned the girl's entire body. She looked confused as she finished.

" Obaa-chan?" Naruto asked worried seeing her face

She looked at him and smiled, " Nothing to worry about Otouto. Hinata you're as good as new and can start training whenever you feel like it." Tsunade said

Hinata nodded and smiled, " Umi will be please to hear this."

" Why?" Sakura asked

" She was going to start teaching me Mizu Jutsu and Kyuubi is going to start working with Naruto again." Hinata explained

" Well as long as he doesn't go overboard with the summoning of his chakra again we'll be fine." Tsunade said smiling

Naruto though go upset at this Tsunade saw this and moved over to him, " Look Otouto it was an accident. She would be hurt much worse by a Hyuuga Elder than what you did to her, so don't worry about it."

Naruto looked at her shocked by this information. He nodded and turned to leave not saying a word.

" Naruto-kun I have to change, but I'll be out in a second." Hinata said

Naruto didn't turn around, but nodded so she knew he heard her. Hinata looked at Tsunade.

" I shouldn't have said that should I?" Tsunade questioned

" Don't worry about it I'll talk to him." Hinata said, " Neji-nii-san you can go to the house and get your things and head back to the compound. Arigatou for staying with us."

"Hinata-sama as I said it was an order from Hiashi-sama and even if I'm his guard now I will always protect you like I'm suppose to." Neji said

Hinata smiled at him and nodded heading into the bathroom.

" Neji." Tsunade said stopping the boy from leaving

He turned back to look at her, " Tell Hiashi I wish to see him in my office at the tower as soon as possible." Tsunade told him

" Hai, I will tell him." Neji said bowing and leaving them to go gather his things from Naruto's house

As he passed Naruto he looked at him and smiled, " Protect her Naruto."

" You know I will." Naruto said

Neji nodded and left the boy seeing the troubled look on his face. A couple of minutes later Hinata emerged back in her normal clothes and they headed out of the hospital. The two walked in silence for a long time and Hinata was getting upset at this.

" Naruto-kun how about we stop at Ichiraku and grab lunch?" Hinata asked

" Iie, I just want to go home Hinata-chan." Naruto said

Hinata looked at him worried knowing he'd never pass up Ichiraku unless something was really bugging him.


Finally the two entered the woods going back to Naruto's house. As they were halfway there Hinata had had enough of his silence and stopped. Naruto sensing she was no longer following him stopped and looked behind him confused.

" Hinata-chan?" Naruto questioned as he moved back to where she was

Hinata looked at him anger in her eyes, " Naruto-kun I'm not going any further until you tell me what's wrong."

" Nothing's wrong, why would you think that? Come one lets go home." Naruto said grabbing her wrist

But she pulled it out of his hand, " Uzumaki Naruto don't tell me nothing is wrong. I've been staying with you for months now and can tell when something is bugging you. So stop pretending and tell me." Hinata said sternly

Naruto signed as he walked to a fallen tree and sat down on it she followed him sitting beside of him taking his hand.

" Naruto-kun I know you're worried about me, but I can take care of myself. You know that." Hinata spoke to him kindly

" I know it's just…" Naruto stopped to look at Hinata's hand on his

" Just what?" Hinata asked

Naruto looked up at her sadly, " Was it really that bad Hinata-chan?"

" Was what bad?" Hinata asked sort of figuring what he was talking about

" Your home life. Did you get hurt badly or was what Obaa-chan over-exaggerating it?" Naruto asked

Hinata signed, It was what I thought.

" Naruto-kun what she said was correct." Hinata said and Naruto looked at her with wide-eyes now, " But it was a result of the Hyuuga training. For us to have great chakra control you must get hurt every once and a while. It was never anything major either. I never stayed in the hospital I was always able to go home and rest. But Hanabi has it worse than I ever did."

" Nani?" Naruto questioned

" Since everyone thought I was weak they started training Hanabi at a young age. She was pushed worse than I was and was hurt more. That's why whenever we spared I couldn't make myself fight her seriously since she was hurt so much before." Hinata explained

Hinata stood up and offered her hand to Naruto, " Come on I'm sure Umi and Kyuubi are waiting for us."

" Alright." Naruto said taking her hand as she helped him stand up

" Feel better?" Hinata asked

" I little, I'm still not so sure it's such a good idea for you to spar with me." Naruto said

" I did it before when Kyuubi was in you and we were fine. You just have to learn how to control it Naruto-kun and that's what Kyuubi is going to help you with." Hinata told him

She could still see the reluctance in him though, " Tell you what. We won't spar until you're absolutely sure you can control you chakra."

" Really?" Naruto smiled happily

" If that will ease your worry." Hinata said

" Arigatou Hinata-chan." Naruto said embracing her in a hug

Hinata smiled as she returned it and soon they were moving again back to the house.


As the two reached the front of the house they heard a rumbling coming from the backyard. As they rounded the corner they saw Kyuubi, who was just small enough that the house was able to hide him digging a portion of the training area out. As he did this every so often Umi would add water the hole he was creating. The two moved closer to them.

" Would you mind telling me why you're digging up my backyard?" Naruto asked annoyed

The two stopped and looked at him smiling.

" It's part of Hinata-chan's training." Umi spoke

" Training?" Naruto questioned

" Yeah Kit, how's she going to train with Mizu Jutsus if there isn't a large source of mizu around here. So, we decided to make one. It'll help you both out in the long run with expanding your chakra." Kyuubi said

" My chakra can't be expanded. Can it?" Naruto asked

Kyuubi smiled at him, "Wouldn't you like to know."

Naruto glared at him, " From you I take that as a yes. As to why you never told me I'm not even going to ask."

" So how long till this is done?" Hinata asked

" Just a couple more minutes and we can start training you." Umi said as Kyuubi went back to digging

" Training us?" Naruto asked

" Yeah kit, Umi will train Hinata, while I help you with you control." Kyuubi said still digging

" Iie." Naruto said crossing his arms

That made all three of them look at him.

" Nani?" Kyuubi asked shocked

" If we're going to do that Kyuubi we're going to go somewhere were we can train and not hurt anyone." Naruto said

" Naruto-kun it's alright. It won't happen again." Hinata told him

He looked at her, " I DON'T CARE! This way I can make sure that no one gets hurt." Naruto told her

She sighed knowing she wouldn't be able to change his mind

" Alright kit, we'll go somewhere secluded to train." Kyuubi said starting to dig again

" Hinata-chan if you want to I have a list I made out of Mizu Jutsus I will train you. It's over on the back porch." Umi said

Hinata nodded and the two headed to the porch to sit and read the list. Hinata grabbed the sheet of paper that was on the table and sat down, as Naruto sat next to her be able to also read the sheet. As he did he let out a whistle at all the Justus that were on the list.

" Umi really expects you to learn all of those Jutsus?" Naruto asked shocked

Hinata was shocked as well, " She must actually a lot of these are good in combination with the Hyuuga Justus I know."

" Really?" Naruto asked, " I still thinks it's a lot I mean the whole page is filled up."

" Kit don't think that I'll be going easy on you either." Kyuubi said walking over to the two with then now back to there small sizes

" You are done then?" Hinata asked and the two foxes nodded

" What do you mean by that Kyuubi?" Naruto asked

" Not only are we going to work on you controlling the chakra I left you, but I'm also going to start teaching you Kitsune Justus too." Kyuubi said

" But I already know them." Naruto said annoyed

" You know some the ones I knew you could handle at the time, now you can do many more, so I'll be able to teach you them." Kyuubi said

" Cool!" Naruto said exited at this news

The two foxes and Hinata smiled seeing the boy's excitement.

" Well Hinata-chan shall we begin?" Umi asked

" Hai." Hinata said standing up and walking over to the newly formed lake with Umi

" Whelp kit, I say it's time we head off too." Kyuubi said

" To where?" Naruto asked

" To a spot I use to train in. It's secluded and no one know about it except for Umi and Shukaku." Kyuubi said

" Why does Shukaku know about it?" Naruto asked surprised by this information

Umi heard this and frowned, " Don't go getting that Tanuki involved in you training Kyuu."

The two humans looked confused at this.

" Kyuubi what does she mean by that?" Hinata asked

Kyuubi chuckled and looked at Hinata then Naruto, " Lets just say when we go together no one was safe from the tricks we pulled."

Umi rolled her eyes at his words, " That's an understatement."

Naruto smiled and Hinata giggled at his.

" I wonder if Gaara would go for pulling some pranks with me?" Naruto questioned

" Probably not." Hinata said and Naruto looked at her upset, " He doesn't seem the prankster sort Naruto-kun."

Naruto crossed his arms and tilted his head from side to side, " Yeah I guess your right. Anyways we'll see you two later. Have fun Hinata-chan."

With that Naruto and Kyuubi walked off into the woods and disappeared from the two females sight.

" Umi will they be alright?" Hinata asked concerned

" Hai, Kyuubi is gaining his chakra back little by little and is stronger than you two think. He'll protect Naruto-kun if they get into trouble." Umi said, " Which they will."

Hinata giggled at that and nodded.

" So ready to begin?" Umi asked

" Hai." Hinata said

" Ok so first off we'll start on the basics. " Umi said starting to explain

Hinata nodded listening to her explanations of the basic Mizu Jutsus she need to know to do other advanced Jutsus later on.


Further out in the forest Kyuubi and Naruto had just gotten to the special hideaway that they could train in.

" Ok kit here we are." Kyuubi said

Naruto was in awe of the place, there was a waterfall that ended in a small pond and the area itself was about 5 times as large as his backyard, which was saying something.

" Sugoi." Naruto said looking around

" Yeah I like it too." Kyuubi said smiling " So you ready?"

Naruto looked over at him, " Yeah."

" Good cause we're going to work on that control first." Kyuubi said

Naruto visibly paled at this.

" Come on kit you can't keep on being afraid to call on your other chakra." Kyuubi said seeing his reaction

" I know it's just…" Naruto said looking at the ground

" Look kit, I'm out here so the only one in charge is you and we're out far enough out that we're miles from any humans, so if you do have a backlash again no one will get hit except for me and you chakra won't hurt me since it use to be mine." Kyuubi explained

Naruto sighed, " Alright, what do I have to do?"

" Just do what you did last time. Only try to bring it out little by little. I think if you do it like that you'll be able to control it." Kyuubi said

Naruto nodded and started summoning his chakra.


Back in Tsunade's office she was currently sitting signing paper that Shizune would place in front of her.

She let out a sigh of boredom, " Shizune…"

" Hai Tsunade-sama." Shizune said

" Have we heard anything from Hiashi?" Tsunade asked

" Iie, Tsunade why?" Shizune asked

" Some thing came to my attention this morning and I thought we might have heard back from him by now." Tsunade said

It was then a knock was heard at the door.

" Enter." Tsunade said

The door opened to reveal Neji coming in.

" Neji did you speak to Hiashi?" Tsunade asked

" Hai Tsunade-sama, he wanted me to apologize. It seem the elders are trying to keep him busy and not have him meet with you." Neji said bowing to her

" Really?" Tsunade questioned, " Then maybe I should go have a visit with them. They can't exactly keep their own head locked up in his own house."

Neji smiled at this thought, " Iie, they cannot and after I relayed the message they got nervous about what you might have found out."

Tsunade smirked at this information, " So when will he be by?"

" Tomorrow at 9 Tsunade-sama." Neji informed her

" Good. Now if you're not busy Neji I need for you to go do something for me." Tsunade said

" Iie, it's not a problem Tsunade-sama, though I do have meet with Tenten for dinner." Neji said his ears turning red from this

Tsunade smiled, as did Shizune since the boy didn't know what he was doing.

" Alright then will you please go and find all the Chuunin 12 sensei's, along with Jiraiya." Tsunade said

" Hai Tsunade-sama." Neji said turning to leave

" Oh and Neji…" Tsunade said stopping him, " If you can't find Ero-sennin, as Otouto call him, check the local Onsen's on the East part of town."

Neji looked at her confused, but nodded and left.


Hours later Hinata and Umi were now standing on top of the lake doing basic Mizu Jutsus. The two heard some noise come from the forest edge and saw Kyuubi as big as a horse emerge, lying on his back was Naruto.

" Naruto-kun." Hinata said worried as she ran over to him

Kyuubi moved towards the two girls.

" Kyuu what did you do to him?" Umi asked

" Nothing he just went overboard like always." Kyuubi said picking the boy up by his jacket and placing him on the ground

Hinata quickly knelt down and placed his head on her lap. She started to summon chakra to her hand to check him over. Satisfied he was ok she sighed in relief.

" What happened?" Hinata asked upset

" Like I said he went overboard. He wouldn't stop until he got full control over the chakra I left him." Kyuubi said

" Did he?" Umi asked

It was then they heard a failure chuckle, " Yep." A weak voice said

" Naruto-kun you need to rest still." Hinata said worried

Naruto opened his eyes and smiled up at her, " I'm alright Hinata-chan and I don't have to worry about hurting anyone anymore. Though I still want to train a little bit more before we start sparing again." Naruto said smiling weakly up at her

Hinata smiled down at her, " Can you stand yet?"

Naruto tried to sit up but couldn't, " Gomen Hinata-chan, but I might be down for a little bit."

" That's alright Naruto-kun we were just going over one last time the basic Mizu Justus." Umi said smiling

Naruto smiled and looked at Hinata, " So you got them down then?"

Hinata nodded at him her smile reaching her eyes, " If you want I can show you them."

" I'd like that since I can't do much until my strength returns. I can see how they're done and maybe learn them later." Naruto said smiling

" Gomen kit, but you can't." Kyuubi said

Naruto turned his face to look at him, " Why?"

" Because I'm a Hi no Kitsune and with my chakra you can't learn any type of Kitsune Justus except for Katon Jutsus or Kaze Jutsus since that's you element. The only reason Hinata can learn the Kitsune Mizu Jutsus is that is her element." Kyuubi explained

" Man that sucks." Naruto said annoyed, " We'll I'd still like to see what you've learned Hinata-chan."

Hinata nodded to him helping him sit up. Kyuubi moved over the boy replacing where Hinata had been and allowing him to sit up to watch Hinata and Umi. The two moved off a little bit to get closer to the lake.

" Ok Hinata start with what I showed you." Umi spoke

Hinata nodded and gathered chakra in her hands and started moving them in a circular motion in front of her. Naruto looked up at this amazed by the gracefulness, but also confused over what she was doing.

" Kyuubi, what's going on?" Naruto questioned

" Just wait and you'll see kit." Kyuubi said resting his head on his paws

Naruto continued to watch as he started to see what was happening and took in a deep breath. In between where Hinata hands were circling a ball of water was starting to form.

" A Mizu Rasengan?" Naruto questioned

" Iie kit, but it is a Mizu Jutsu." Kyuubi said Naruto turned his head to look at the fox, "The chakra she's summoning in her hand is causing the water in the air to be gathering in the center of the jutsu allowing her to produce water where there might not be any. This is the starting jutsu for all other Kitsune Mizu Jutsu." Kyuubi explained

Naruto looked back amazed by this new, " Sugoi Hinata-chan!" he shouted to her

She smiled at him as she had finally gathered enough water to do the next jutsu. She grabbed the floating water in her hand as she turned to a nearby tree.

" Alright next jutsu Hinata-chan." Umi spoke

Hinata nodded as the water grew in size as it covered her hand and arms up to her shoulders, " Uneri no Kitsune!"

With that the gathered water shot out from her hands as it hit the tree causing the bark to start braking off the tree. Naruto sat there watching amazed at the power that the jutsu had behind it.

" Kit because of her awesome chakra controls the jutsu is so powerful. You're Hi no Kitsune is as strong or even stronger now." Kyuubi commented

Naruto just looked up at him shocked by his statement.

" Naruto-kun this is the last one she learned today." Umi spoke

Naruto nodded looking back at the two. The water was now gathered on the top of Hinata's arms and started to grow in amount again.

Kyuubi snorted at seeing this, " She's already got this one down too?"

Naruto looked up at him and Kyuubi smirked, " The jutsu she about to do kit it the last in the basic Mizu Kitsune Jutsus it's also the hardest to learn and sometime it takes a Mizu Kitsune years to learn this."

Naruto looked shocked at this and turned back to see what Hinata was about to do. As he turned back he saw that the water she now had on her was huge. Suddenly the water splashed out on her making it look like she had just doused herself with the water, but as Naruto watched the water moved out and around Hinata's body forming around it. As it finally finished he was shocked by what he saw. Hinata looked like a water version of himself when he called upon Kyuubi's charka. The water had taken on the form of a fox. Finally able to move Naruto pushed himself further up and was able to stand with Kyuubi help.

" But how? I thought…" Naruto said

" That you could only do it because of me?" Kyuubi finished him and Naruto nodded, "The shield you use since reacts almost like it's alive itself, but hers is different."

" Different?" Naruto questioned

" Just watch." Kyuubi said as the two looked back at the girls

" Ready Hinata-chan?" Umi asked

Hinata nodded as Umi spread her tails. On each of her three tails water started to gather.

" Mizu Supiku." Umi said as the water formed sharp spikes and sailed towards Hinata

As they grew near the tails made of water came forth and batted one away with little effort. The other two Hinata caught in her now claw covered hands and dropped them to the ground.

"Kit whereas your shield acts like it's alive, Hinata is the one to control hers." Kyuubi explained to the boy, " That was excellent Hinata."

Hinata released the water shield and blushed, " Arigatou Kyuubi."

Naruto came slowly walking up to her and she looked at him worried her be upset by what he had just seen. As he stood him front of her she couldn't ready his face for once, but saw his hand clenching and unclenching. Suddenly she was engulfed in a hug and she melted him his arms.

" Hinata-chan that was amazing." Naruto said to her picking her up

" Arigatou Naruto-kun." Hinata said back laughing at what he was doing

Naruto released her and moved her a little away, " I guess we are a lot alike now, eh?"

Hinata smiled and nodded at him. The two foxes looked at each other smiling knowing what they meant. Looking into the sky Kyuubi noticed it growing dark.

" Come on let's get inside." Kyuubi said starting to shrink heading to the backdoor with Umi

Naruto and Hinata followed the two and headed inside. Hinata with Naruto's help fixed the four dinner and Naruto sat with Hinata for a little bit and told her what had happened to him while training. Soon it was very late and the two decided to go to bed since they foxes were already asleep. Naruto and Hinata each started to head to their own room. As they each reached their door they looked at each other.

" Ano sa Hinata-chan?" Naruto said

" Hai." Hinata said turning to look at him

" Would you like to keep me company again?" Naruto asked

Hinata looked at him making sure he wasn't joking since they hadn't been in the same bed since the first night of the accident a week ago, " Is that what you want?" she asked and Naruto nodded, " Then give me a couple of minutes and I'll be over, ok."

Naruto smiled widely and nodded as he moved into his room to change quickly, so he didn't have to worry about embarrassing Hinata. Naruto had just finished changing when he heard a knock on his door.

" You an come in Hinata-chan." Naruto said

Hinata walked in wearing a lilac PJ outfit with a silver tiger and golden fox on the pants leg. Naruto looked at it and then up at Hinata with a questioning look on his face.

Hinata smiled, " Just happened to find it one day at a store in the village. I really like it the shopkeeper said that that was the only one he got in and no one wanted to buy it because of the kitsune. As the time I didn't know about Kyuubi, but the kitsune reminded me of you." Hinata said blushing

Naruto just smiled knowing even then the girl had only one person in mind to be with.

" Well let us go to bed if Umi's anything like Kyuubi she'll be in here early to start you training again." Naruto spoke

Hinata nodded and the two headed towards Naruto's giant bed. As the two started to doze off Hinata moved closer to Naruto as she nuzzled closer to him. Opening on eye to see what the movement was Naruto saw what Hinata was doing. He smiled and moved his arms to circle her so she could gain the closeness she wanted. Finally hearing her sigh in content and fall into a deeper sleep Naruto was soon to join her.
