Hey guys, here is Chapter three of Rinnegan Reincarnated
enjoy
oh and yea, I don't own Naruto
It was early in the day, while Naruto took a walk around the village. He couldn't stop smiling since he woke up, he still couldn't believe he had made a friend his own age. Walking by his favorite restaurant, Ichraku Ramen, he smiled at his sister figure , Ayame.
"Hey nee-san! How are you!" the blond asked cheerfully
Ayame looked up from her work space and noticed that Naruto was extremely happy for some reason.
"Hey there Naruto, I'm doing good. How about yourself? You look very excited" she responded with a grin
"I have a reason to!" he declared
"Oh and why is that?" she asked with evident curiosity
"I made a new friend, one that's my age and she's really nice!" he blurted out, unable to contain his sheer happiness
Ayame smiled at this, she always new that Naruto didn't really have friends because of the parents telling their kids no to associate with him. "Those idiots" she thought to herself. To hear that he had made an actual friend warmed her heart and put her at ease. Now he wouldn't be so alone.
"I'm so glad to hear that Naruto" She finally got out with a warm smile on her face
Just then Teuchi came out "What's this talk of a new friend Naruto?" he asked
"Hai ojii-san! I made a new friend yesterday!" he replied "She's real nice and she said she would teach me some stuff on how to be a ninja!"
Teuchi knew of Naruto's dream to be a great ninja and someday be hokage, he really wanted to see him succeed and become a strong and influential person. "She does sound very nice, but does she like ramen? Maybe you can bring her with you when you come"
Ayame sweat dropped at the question. She always knew her father never passed up on a chance to get a new customer. "Dad, is all you think about money?" she asked with mock irritation.
Teuchi let out an embarrassed chuckle. "Well I was just asking so Naruto here would have a companion to eat ramen with."
"Don't worry ojii-san, I'm sure she will like ramen, it's the best food in the entire world after all!" naruto said
"Lets hope so my boy, so what will you be having?" the squinting man asked
"Nothing right now" naruto answered plainly
The mans eyes became wide in shock and almost fell out. "What! Are you sick Naruto? You never pass up on an opportunity to eat ramen!" he almost screamed
Naruto gave out a nervous laugh "No ojii-san I'm not sick, I just wanted to find my friend to see if maybe she would like to come here with me"
The mans visage quickly calmed down "You had me worried there for a second Naruto"
"Awh that's so cute he wants to find his little friend" Ayame chirped
Naruto blushed at the comment "Ayame nee-chan" he whined "don't tease me, she's not my girlfriend"
"Sorry Naruto" She apologized as she struggled to keep the giggles from coming out "why don't you go find your friend and bring her here" she said with a smile, regaining her posture
"You bet nee-san, I'm going to look for her right now!" he yelled as he was making his way out and into the street
Ayame waved to Naruto as she saw him run off, thinking to herself "Oh darn I never asked him what her name was, maybe I knew her, oh well I guess I'll have to wait and see her until Naruto brings her around"
It had been well over two hours since Naruto had begun looking for Hinata, he couldn't find her anywhere. He had no clue to where she lived or where she hung out. He had been almost everywhere in the village, some of the forests and training grounds, but nothing. The only place he hadn't been was the shopping district, he hardly went there, he only visited rarely to restock on his ramen. He hated going there because no one would sell him anything and he would be kicked out instantly from the various shops.
"Well that's really the only place I haven't checked, might as well give it a shot" the sun kissed boy thought to himself
Heading to the shopping district, he could already see the hateful glares that were being thrown at him and the whispers of demons and monsters.
Ignoring them all, for he was already used to it "Maybe she is buying some supplies or something, after all a ninja needs weapons" he pondered
Walking to a shop with a giant unraveled scroll and kunai spread across it for a sign that read weapon shop, he looked through the window and to his surprise and joy, there was his friend Hinata, he felt a warm sensation roll over his chest. Smiling he was about to run inside until he stopped himself.
"Man I'll probably get kicked out as soon as I walk in there" he guessed "I'm going to look like a total idiot in front of her" he thought with a bit of panic "I'll just wait out here till she comes out"
He proceeded to sit for a couple of minutes outside on a bench. He saw the door to the shop swing open with a chime of a bell that hit the door upon opening. Hinata noticed him right away and she smiled as she walked towards him. Naruto completely forgot what he was going to say. All he good get out were broken stutters.
Hinata, seeing him struggle thought she should say something "H-hello" to Naruto's surprise, it was Hinata who spoke up first
He calmed down and took a deep, relaxing breath "Hey Hinata-chan, are you here to buy some cool ninja gear?" he asked, his goofiness returning
Hearing her name with the unusual suffix of endearment, she couldn't help but blush. "Hai N-naruto-kun" she got out
"That's so cool Hinata-chan! Hopefully I can join the academy with you and we can be in the same class and when we graduate and become genin, we could even be in the same squad!"
Daydreaming of what Naruto had just mentioned, she could not hear what he was asking her at the time all she could do was stare off in to space.
"Hey Hinata-chan, you listening to me?" he finally asked, breaking her from her daze
"S-sorry N-naruto-kun, I was just thinking o-of stuff, what where you saying?" she asked
"It's fine Hinata-chan, I was asked you if you wanted to go to this awesome place with me? It's called Ichiraku Ramen, they make the beset ramen you'll ever taste!" he finally finished with a fist pump
Hinata blushed at his offer "He wants to hangout with me?" she thought to herself
"Hey Hinata-chan you alright? Your getting kind of red, it's alright if you don't feel well, we can go another day" he said with clear concern in his voice
Not about to lose this chance to hangout with her friend she felt confidence she hadn't ever felt before and in a stroke of boldness she shouted out "NO!"
Naruto was a bit shocked to hear this small timid and well mannered girl scream out like that. Hinata was a bit mortified, she didn't mean to scream that out so loud, but damn it! She was not going to pass on the opportunity to hangout and be a normal kid with someone her own age.
"I m-mean... I'm not s-sick, I would l-love to go with y-you to the r-ramen resteraunt" she said with a bit of embarrassment of her earlier behavior " W-well that is if my f-father allows me to go" she finished looking down to the ground.
Naruto smiled at the fact that she had agreed but then suddenly realized of what she had said in the last part "Oh no, her father would never let her go with me" he became very sad at this thought. Just then the door to the shop opened again and out stepped a tall and elegant man, he was tan and had black, silk like hair running down his back. He was wearing loosely fitted traditional robes. His eyes seemed to be fix in a state of a glare and were very serious, lacking a pupil like Hinata's.
Naruto felt his muscles go very stiff, they seemed to ignore his brain telling them to move. He stood there for what seemed like an hour, under the mans calculating gaze. Until Hinata was the one to break the silence.
"O-otou-san?" she let out
Her father turned her gaze upon her, she seemed to shrink under such an intense gaze "What is it Hinata" he asked, his voice passive
She struggled to find the right words to say to him "I w-was wondering if you could a-allow me to go with N-naruto-kun to eat s-some ramen?" she motioned towards Naruto, who gave a nervous smile to the man.
Hiashi was a surprised to see his normally timid daughter ask him something like this and almost stutter free "This boy, he is Uzumaki Naruto, the vessel, Ko told me that Hinata had met him yesterday, yesterday was also the start of her showing more confidence and she actually trained harder, did this boy give her some kind of courage?" he asked himself
"Very well Naruto, you may spend some time with my daughter" his voice rang through their ears, they couldn't believe it "Two hours, no more, you will have her home within this time or face some serious consequences boy" he finished with a threatening voice
Naruto seemed to not acknowledge the threat or the fact that the man already knew his name, he was too happy, he couldn't believe that he had accepted. "Do not worry sir, I will have her home by then, thank you" Naruto bowed down, he had never acted so formal before, it took Hiashi back a bit but he brushed it off.
Hinata was in a state of shock as well at her fathers answer "Th-thank you father" she also bowed down in thanks "I w-will be back home s-soon" she said as she walked by Naruto's side, ready to leave.
"Very well, I will see you back home later, we will continue your training" Hiashi said as he gave Naruto another warning glare which made Naruto shrink a bit as well
Hiashi walked off, down the street "Shall we?" Naruto motioned down the street, going the opposite direction to his favorite restaurant
"Hey old ojii-san! I'm back like I told you I would be" Naruto declared to the ramen maker
"Ahh so you are my boy" Teuchi frowned for a bit though "Where's your friend though Naruto, did you find her?" he asked worried that he wouldn't be getting a new customer today
Naruto laughed at this "She's right here old man" he said as a small figure behind him emerged from hiding behind him.
"Hello sir, it is nice to meet you" she said kindly and formally
"This is the Hyuga heiress, Hinata Hyuga, Naruto did not tell me this, hmm knowing the boy he doesn't know himself" the man quickly thought to himself "No no Huyga-sama, the pleasure is all mine" he got out with a big grin
"Huh? What do you mean by Hyuga-sama?" Naruto asked curiously
"You can't be serious Naruto, she's the daughter of Hiashi Hyuga, head of the Hyuga clan which means she's an heiress to that clan" Ayame said as she made herself known
Naruto was in some deep thought by the looks of it, while Hinata looked kind of embarrassed by all of the attention.
"So she's like a princess!" Naruto declared "Wow, no wonder your already training to be a ninja, your so awesome Hinata-chan!"
By this time, Hinata resembled a freshly picked tomato. She felt light headed at the parallel of her and a princess Naruto had made and the compliments she was receiving. It was all so foreign to her. All she could do was fight to stay conscious and smile.
Ayame, sensing the girls distress thought it would be a good time to sit them down so they could order. "Alright Naruto, your embarrassing her, you guys take a seat and I'll get your menus" she said walking to the back
"What did I say" was all Naruto thought as he took a stool
Hinata did the same and soon both had ordered what they wanted.
"So Hinata, I didn't know you were from a powerful clan, is that why you all have the same eyes? Do they do something cool?" Naruto asked looking at said eyes
Hinata started poking her fingers together "Y-yes, it's called the b-byakugan, it lets us see farther than normal and also we can see everything around us" she stated "once it has matured enough, you can see peoples tenketsu points" she added
Naruto was completely lost, to say the least, Hinata noticed this and let out a small giggle, which Naruto noticed.
"Hey! Don't laugh at me" he said with a mock pout
Hinata was quick to apologize, she didn't mean to laugh, but he looked so cute with that pout...wait cute? Hinata's face turned crimson at what she had thought.
"F-forgive me N-naruto-kun, I didn't m-mean to l-laugh, I shouldn't h-have" she said in a worried tone, she didn't want to lose her one and only friend
"I was just kidding Hinata-chan, don't worry, I know I'm dumb" he said to her
"Y-your not dumb!" she quickly disagreed, surprising Naruto "Y-you just don't k-know, I c-can teach y-you, if you would l-like" she finished almost in a whisper
"Really! You would teach me all that stuff you were just talking about?" he was clearly excited
Hinata was about to answer when Ayame brought their ramen.
"Alright here we go, a small miso for the young lady and a Naruto sized miso with extra pork" She said with a smile
Hinata looked at Naruto's bowl, it was enormous! And on the side of the bowl it had Naruto's name. The bowl had to be the size of some serving bowls Hinata had seen, where there were mounds of food piled upon them and you served yourself from it. Well not in this case, since it appeared Naruto was going to eat straight from it.
"Since Naruto can eat so much, we decided to make a special sized bowel for him so it would be sure that he would get full." Ayame informed Hinata "Well aren't you going to try your ramen Hinata?" she asked eagerly
Hinata looked back to Naruto and saw he was already halfway done. Determined to finish before or at least at the same time as Naruto she picked up her chop sticks and broke them apart "itadakimasu" she quietly said as she quickly picked up a noodle. The look on the young Hyuga's face was all Ayame needed to see as she headed back to the back of the shop to give them some privacy.
To be honest, Hinata had never tasted ramen so good before in her life. She had gone to places that supposedly were top restaurants that only served food with the freshest and best ingredients. To think that such a small place as this, beat all the high end restaurants, astounded her. She defiantly planned to return here in the near future.
She took her eyes off of her bowl for a bit and glanced at Naruto, she couldn't help but giggle, he was eating the ramen like his life depended on it, almost having his whole face inside the giant bowl
Naruto heard a giggle and looked up from his bowl for the first time and saw where the giggle had originated from. He saw Hinata smiling while she held her hand to her mouth to try and not laugh too much. He couldn't explain it but he felt really strange to see her smile, not in a bad way but in a foreign way that he had never felt before. He felt happy at the sight and smiled in return, forgetting that he had food in his mouth though.
Seeing this, Hinata giggled even more "U-um N-naruto-kun, you have f-food in your m-mouth" Hinata tried to get out while laughing, she didn't seem to be repulsed by the sight, she couldn't, not by Naruto
Noticing how ridiculous he looked, Naruto turned crimson in embarrassment "Oh no! she's probably going to think I'm gross and leave, but why is she laughing?" he thought as he swallowed the food as to avoid any more embarrassments "S-sorry, I didn't notice" he said lamely
Hinata seemed to calm down enough to return to her normal shyness "It's okay N-naruto-kun, you just f-forgot" she said poking her fingers together like earlier
They kept eating in uncomfortable silence until they were done
To avoid any more awkwardness, Naruto tried to talk about something, anything to kill the silence, but for some reason Naruto couldn't think of anything. Naruto very rarely stayed quite when there was someone to talk to that wanted to listen, so it was a new experience for him to not be able to draw out anything.
"How was your ramen?" he asked "Man that was so lame, could I have asked a more stupid question?" he asked himself
"Oh it w-was quite good, t-the best I've t-tasted" she replied "Come on Hinata, think of something else to say to him" she thought but like Naruto, she couldn't come up with anything
"Really? that's great" Naruto said while Hinata simply nodded
Naruto frowned "Oh no, she's probably really bored and already wants to go home" Naruto dreaded
Hinata saw Naruto frown and she also frowned "He probably got bored already and doesn't want to hangout anymore" she thought
"Hinata? Are you bored?" he asked
"N-no! of course n-not" she answered "I t-thought you were b-bored"
Naruto's eyes widened for a bit but then returned to normal "No! I'm not bored! I just really don't know what to talk about" he said slightly ashamed of himself for making her think that he was bored of her "I haven't really done this before Hinata-chan, your my first friend" he finished
Hinata felt like crying at hearing Naruto say that, he was her first friend too, her father never let her out, he would always train her, night and day so she really had no time to be socializing, only recently had he allowed her some free time.
"Y-your my first f-friend too N-naruto-kun, I am a-also new to this, I-I'm really enjoying our time t-together though!" she said to him
She saw him smile "I guess it's just something we are going to get better at together!" he declared
His smile made her feel safe and happy, she liked the idea of spending more time with him "H-hai" she agreed
They walked down the street towards Hinata's home. It had been an hour and a half since Hiashi had made his time limit. Naruto, to be on the safe side did not want to cut it short, so he offered to walk her home early, he really did not want to suffer Hiashi Hyuga's wrath. He cringed at the very thought.
It was not too long before the Hyuga compound came into sight. It had a big iron gate in the front and from the gate branched off a wall that surrounded the complex. The wall was about ten feet high an it was of white rock, like marble. To the left of the gate was a bronze plaque with an impression that read Hyuga. Two guards were standing watch at the gate. Hinata and Naruto walked up to them.
The guards took notice of them "Hinata-sama, your father told us you would be arriving around this time, he told us to escort you to his office once you had arrived, bid farewell to Naruto-san here and we will head there right now" said one of the guards very politely
"Hai, t-thank you" she said as she turned back around to face Naruto "I h-had a really g-good time today N-naruto-kun, Thank you" she said to him sincerely
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and gave her a wide grin "Don't mention it Hinata-chan, I had a good time too" he said "We should do it again sometime" he continued as he did something that Hinata did not expect. He hugged her, it wasn't a very long hug or anything special, but to Hinata it was beyond special, she went numb, not knowing what to do. As soon as he had done it he broke the hug and said goodbye
"Well bye Hinata-chan! See you around" he said as he walked in the direction of his apartment
Hinata stood there for several minutes with what appeared to be as a permanent blush upon her cheeks. She was broken from her daze from her fellow Hyuga.
"Hinata-sama, are you alright?" he asked
All she could do was face him and nod
"Well then lets hurry, we don't want to keep Hiashi-sama waiting" he said as they walked through the gates.
Later that night, the young heiress wouldn't be getting much sleep on the contrary to a blond whiskered boy who slept like a baby with a perpetual smile on his face.
Well there it is
Sorry it took me so long to get it out, I get distracted really easily and I can also become lazy
I'll try to update as often as possible
Not much action in this one but there will be later on and Naruto will get some awesome skills
Anyways R&R please!
