Author's Notes: First. I am sooooo sorry for prolonging this chapter. I got banned from the computer for a week and a half because I got a detention. After that I had a bunch of L.A. homework. By the way Dragon Man 180, I now know why you recommended using the summons to find someone. If they fall unconscious, then you could have the summons find them. However, Naruto can just follow their scent using the Kyuubi's chakra. The frogs don't have noses like a fox or a dog so they could only use sight to find them. Also, the frogs won't be able to find the sleeping bags, trust me.
For Love
"So Naruto, how much do you know," the Hyuuga insisted twitching, obviously nervous.
"There was so much information, my mind just stored it for later comprehension. So basically, I'm still reading it," the jinchuriki replied, "It looks like I'm just about to start on 'your dreams'."
"To hell you will!" the heiress shouted at the blond ninja. The lavender-eyed konoichi walked up to Naruto and "bitch slapped" him.
"Huh?" questioned Naruto while rubbing his cheek. The jinchuriki was confused. He had never seen the shy konoichi like this, "What did I do?"
Sakura walked over to Hinata and put her chin on the heiress's shoulder. "Let me guess, you're trying to distract him so he won't read your dreams," whispered the pink-haired ninja.
"No shit," implied the shy konoichi.
"I think I know a way to distract him..." said a pink-haired ninja slyly. The shy girl had 8 ideas in her head of what this could mean. Each one made her blush to a certain extent. "Soooo... To what extent do you dream about him?"
The Hyuuga backed away from the nosy konoichi and waved her hands in front of her face. "No! It's not like that! Hugging, tops!" shouted the embarrassed konoichi.
Naruto was dumbstruck, "What the hell are they talking about?" he thought. The blond was now on the brink of boredom. He had no idea what the konoichis were talking about. "I think I'll finish those dreams while they're fighting. I bet Hinata won't notice."
Five seconds and one dream later a pissed shinobi glared at the konoichis. "Hinata...In your dreams...Why the hell am I ing you," the jinchuriki wanted answers and he wanted them now.
"Sure Hinata, hugging tops," the Sasuke stalker said slyly and sarcastically at the same time, if that's even possible.
The lavender-eyed konoichi flashed a deep, red blush. She didn't know how to answer this question.
"Hinata pop the question, or you'll have to answer his," whispered the Hokage's apprentice who was, once again, behind Hinata. Hinata nodded. She knew this was the largest undertaking she would ever have to face. The shy konoichi hoped she would not faint.
"Naruto, do you likeme?" the Hyuuga implored, nervous as hell, "As more than a friend?"
The shinobi's visage became very grim and downcast. "No, I don't like you, I like Sakura," Naruto turned around and nonchalantly walked towards "their home".
Sakura was shocked. She was not shocked at what he said, but how he said it. "Why did he become so depressed when he said that?" the green-eyed ninja thought," Oh shit! I forgot about Hinata. This is going to kill her self-esteem." The green-eyed ninja turned to see the Hyuuga absorbing what had happened.

Naruto leaned on the cave wall. He slid his back down the wall so he was in a sitting position. The jinchuriki sighed.
"Why did Hinata have to ask me that," thought an already depressed shinobi. "If she knew what I was, she would despise me for what I am, a demon. The only girl who ever accepted me was Sakura, and even that took a while."
The pain slowly became unbearable. "I have to get this out of my mind!" thought the blond as he turned around and drove his fist into the wall. An idea clicked into his mind. Naruto walked over to his pack and took out a scroll. The orange-wearing ninja rolled the scroll out across the stone, cold, cave floor. He pumped chakra into his index finger and placed it on the beginning of the text. The iron ink reacted to the chakra and created a magnetic field. The shinobi was able to pick up this field with his finger and read the text.
"Hmm this scroll goes from easiest to hardest in terms of recipe difficulty," the azure-eyed shinobi thought aloud, "Lets see what's at the end," Naruto twisted the scroll in order to see what was in the back. The blond's eyes glanced at the paper and his entire body instantly spasmed. The blond covered his eyes with his hands as quickly as he could. He knew the seal recipe written on the paper all to well. The Bijuu seal.

Hinata stood there absorbing what had happened. The heiress clutched her hands to her chest, letting a few tears run down her fragile cheek. She started shaking.
"I don't like you, I like Sakura," These words repeated themselves in her mind. Every time she heard these words her heart would break into another piece.
"Hinata, he didn't mean it," was all the green-eyed konoichi could say before the Hyuuga dashed away into the woods, crying. The pink-haired konoichi followed her. Sakura, who was about 5 feet behind Hinata, repeated what she said before, "Hinata, he didn't mean it!" the green-eyed ninja had to shout in order to get the sound into Hinata's ears.
"Yes he did!" was all the heiress could say before everything went black...
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Can I ask why Hinata is unconscious," implored the jinchuriki as he stared at the girl who lay unconscious in his lap
"She ran into the woods because you rejected her," the Hokage's apprentice started, "but she didn't watch where she was running and she tripped over the sleeping bags." (Author Note: LOL! I bet you weren't expecting that )
"Wow, I can't believe she found the sleeping bags that way," the Kyuubi container remarked.
The Hokage's apprentice tried to change the subject, "Naruto, why did you turn her down? And another thing, why were you grim when you said it."
"You know precisely why," snapped the blond, "she would despise me like everyone who knows about the Kyuubi."
"She loves you!She wouldn't, no, couldn't hate you," The Sakura shouted, incredibly pissed off.
"Sakura...I was always beaten for something I couldn't control. I was shunned for something that I had no power over!" the blond raised his voice for each sentence that passed, "I was thought of as a monster for something that I didn't cause!" Naruto was officially pissed off. "I care more about keeping my friends then scaring them off." The Kyuubi container stared at the wall, waiting for someone to break the silence...
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
The sun was beginning to set. "Ah shit... Ero-Sennin only gave us two sleeping bags," sighed the jinchuriki, "That pervert."
"Your sleeping with Hinata!" laughed the pink-haired konoichi.
"Come on... I want to sleep with you," whined the blond. (Author Note: I don't know why but that sentence sounds perverted).
"No, your sleeping with Hinata!" Sakura proclaimed as she shook her finger at the shinobi
"Sakura, will you ever like me?" questioned the Kyuubi container.
Sakura was caught off guard, " Maybe, who knows."
"Fine, whatever," said Naruto, "lets go to bed."
Naruto had to pick up sleeping Hyuuga bridal style in order to move her. He gently lied the fragile girl in the sleeping bag and got in with her. Naruto didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable sleeping next to an attractive girl. He felt Hinata's breath tickling the back of his neck. "Wow, for some reason, Hinata's breath is really seductive," thought the jinchuriki. He quickly banished those thoughts from his head and attempted to go to sleep
Sakura was snickering at Naruto from a corner in the cave. She found it hilarious how the blond squirmed when Hinata subconsciously moved closer to him.
Sakura sighed and closed her eyes, "Don't worry Hinata, I know he'll be yours."

(2 months later)
Naruto threw 7 shuriken at a tree, and each one hit its target.
"Ha ha! Beat that, Sakura!" the blond remarked.
"Gladly," the mostly useless ninja retorted as she took 8 shuriken out of her weapons pouch and shot them at the same tree. Only 4 hit their target. The jinchuriki burst out laughing. He collapsed to one knee, crying from laughing so much.
Sakura tried to change the subject. "I can't believe it's been 2 months already," observed the Hokage's apprentice.
"Yeah I know," said the Hyuuga while walking up a tree, "and it only took us like 2 weeks to learn 'chakra fields'."
"Those 'field things' were easy," the Uzumaki replied while walking on a nearby stream. Naruto froze and let the wind attack dissipate. "Too easy..."
The konoichis looked at him with curiosity in their eyes.
"What do you mean?" questioned the heiress.
"Why would he make us train for 3 months for a skill we could learn in two weeks," implied the blond, "I think he's got like a hidden agenda of some sort."
"I bet your right, but who cares, we get to spend 3 months together as friends," admitted the Hokage's apprentice.
"That reminds me, I have to finish a potion," the Kyuubi container revealed as he walked off with his hands behind his head.
"Sakura, do you think he will ever like me?" the lavender-eyed girl implored after she saw her crush disappear into the forest.
"I honestly don't know, Hinata. That's for him to decide," said Sakura while looking up at the clouds. A small breeze passed over the landscape and they both took that as a signal to end the conversation.

"Heh Hehhh... The potions almost done!" Naruto thought as he rubbed his hands together, "I knew my dad would leave me a decent recipe. This love potion will make any girl I want fall in love with me, or in this case, Sakura." Naruto had a devious smile on his face by now. Naruto took the potion off the heat rack. "I hope this works...

Ok, I am very sorry that I had Naruto turn down Hinata, but it was necessary to the story. Hides
By the way, a heat rack is something I just made up. Its a small metal rack that has a fire built under it.
