Naruto meets JLU (Version two Chapter six)

*Small recap: Naruto and Hinata are both attacked by Hiashi who shows up to punish Hinata for disobeying him and the clan. Before anything could happen, Naruto tells Alfred to get Hinata to Shikamaru's place and to stay there with her until he comes to get her. So while Naruto is fighting Hiashi, Neji, Kiba, Diana and Shayera show up right in the middle of the fight. It wasn't until Neji noticed that his uncle had started to block Naruto's Chakra flow that they stepped into the fight. And Diana and Shayera would have knocked the fool senseless and they would have too, if Neji and Kiba didn't tell them that there was another problem. While in his unconscious state, the fox demon in Naruto decided that Hiashi would pay for doubting his container and would have killed him if Neji and the other didn't get him to where Hinata was at that very moment, for she was the only one that could calm him down at the moment. Just as things were getting worse for them, who of all people show up to help them, but the Kazekage of the sand himself and all time good friend of Naruto (and future brother in law to Shikamaru) Gaara of the sand. So while the others take Naruto to where Hinata is at, Gaara has a nice little talk with Hiashi not knowing that he is being watched at the moment. While Gaara has a heart to heart with Hiashi, Naruto wakes up to find that he is in his friends apartment and asked Hinata to come with him and Shikamaru to Metropolis to handle some business over there, which Hinata agrees to. Now lets join our favorite sand ninja as he has a nice little chat with Hiashi.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Demon talking

Jon talking telepathically

"Now Hiashi tell me how does it feel to be the helpless one now? Not a nice feeling I gather well this is what you call karma at its best. Now do you want to tell me what you were planning or do I have to have the Lady Hokage herself help me? Cause believe me she would want nothing more than to kill you right now for what you have done. Now where is your partner Danzo? I know he is in the city somewhere, the question I'm asking you Hiashi is where?" Before Gaara could get his answer a gust of leaves appeared and swirled around him and the sand that held Hiashi hostage. As quickly as the leaves came they went and with them went Hiashi as well.

"This does not bode well, Danzo must know of a way to dispel my sand. I think its time to have a nice little chat with my future brother in law tomorrow." And with that said Gaara disappeared in a wave of sand along with his siblings.

Meanwhile back at Shikamaru's place, Shayera and Diana were talking to Naruto while Hinata went to go talk to her cousin and to play hostess until Shikamaru gets back and she tells him what is going on. Needless to say Neji was not so happy to find out that Hinata went on a date with Naruto and didn't tell him first. But Neji knew that Shikamaru would pay for keeping this secret from them dearly. If not by his hands then by the hands of Sakura. So while Neji was helping Hinata with the treats and tea, Naruto was trying his best to tell Diana and Shayera what had happened to him.

"I still don't understand how your eyes keep changing color like that. Are you sure that you're alright Naruto?" Diana sat on the edge of the bed while Shayera sat on the other edge of the bed.

"I'm telling you guys I don't know how it happened, all I remember was getting really mad and the next thing I know I'm out cold and it felt like something else was taking over. Its weird and kinda scary." Naruto turned to both Diana and Shayera who looked just as confused as he was.

"Well we'll talk about this later when you get back to the tower cause Superman wants to talk to you as well as Batman. And the girls and I are going to talk to you as well about your 'ahem' date with miss Hyuga. See you in a little bit Naruto." With that both Diana and Shayera left with grins on their faces knowing that Naruto was blushing like crazy and muttering about his friends being nosy.

About five minutes later Hinata came into the room followed by Shikamaru who was sporting a huge lump on his head and a limp for some odd reason. Naruto was about to ask what happened to his friend when another person came in with a smug look on his face and slightly bruised knuckles. Naruto noticed that this guy had the same eyes as Hinata and knew that this guy and Shikamaru had a disagreement about something before coming or someone. Also that this guy had to be the cousin that Hinata told him about at dinner. And judging by what happened to Shikamaru, he wasn't at all happy to find out that he wasn't told about Hinata's date tonight or the fact that she was here in Gotham. Naruto being a guy that value's his life, decided that now would be a good time to get on the good side of the only relative that cares for Hinata and won't kill him in his sleep like Shayera and the other League women said they do to him if he turned into Bruce. So as this guy got close Naruto extended his hand, hoping to get on his good side.

"Hi my name is Naruto, and I take it you just found out that Hinata is going to be my secretary for a awhile and you had no clue about any of that did you?" Naruto saw a vein pop up from this guys head and he noticed that this guys eyebrow did the same twitchy thing that Batman does when he's close to hurting some one. Hinata saw this as well and decided to try and calm her over protective cousin before he killed both Shikamaru and Naruto.

"Neji-san, please understand that when I took this job, it was to help Shikamaru. Remember you promised that let me do this while we were making the tea. Besides, Naruto-san is nothing but a perfect gentleman. Please trust me on this, Neji-san." Neji knew that Hinata could take care of her self it was the fact that she was with the worlds most idiotic ninja in the world and the sad thing about it is that the Naruto in front of him doesn't even remember a thing about what he is to him and his friends. That and the fool was just as clueless now as he was before he lost his memory.

" sigh, alright Hinata. But know this bub, Hinata is my younger cousin, and I don't take kindly to idiots that take advantage of her and does her any harm, so know this, anything happens to her, you and me will have a nice little talk that involves me shoving my fist in your face, understand?" Neji took Naruto's hand and gave it a firm squeeze to let him know that he was serious about what he said and to his surprise he found that Naruto squeezed his hand just as hard.

"Don't worry about a thing, I plan on taking very good care of Hinata so don't worry. I may not remember much about myself, but I do know how to treat a lady. So you have nothing to worry about and you can stop plotting my friends demise in your head." Naruto just smiled when he saw the shocked look on his face. He then turned to Hinata and gave her a wink letting her know that everything was alright and he just loved to see her blush. For some odd reason Naruto just loves the way Hinata's cheeks turn red when he's around her. There was something about the way she acts around him that brought on odd flashes, ones that confused him and scared him. Shikamaru noticed this too and decided that meeting his bosses in the morning would be a good idea.

"Hey Naruto, how about Hinata and I meet you tomorrow and we can talk business, but for now why don't you head home and get some rest. You look like you walked to hell and back man." Naruto nodded and Naruto made his way to the door but stopped in front of Hinata for a few minutes. Then he bent down to her and whispered something in her ear. After that he and Hinata left to talk about whatever Naruto wanted to talk to her about.

Once outside in the hallway, Naruto turned to Hinata and smiled and she smiled too and for some odd reason, his face was getting close to hers. Heck he didn't even know she was talking to him, all he was paying attention to were her lips and how delicious they looked right now.

"Naruto-san, please forgive my cousin Neji, he's just worried about me. Since my father attacked both of us and has been a nightmare to both of us, he's been very protective of me and- mmmm!!!!" Hinata was cut off by Naruto and his lips and for once she didn't care. Inside Hinata's mind, she was jumping for joy for her long time crush turned love was kissing her and for once in her life she didn't mind her blush or feeling like fainting around this wonderful man that was kissing her senseless.

Naruto didn't know what came over him. All he could think about was how good Hinata's lips would feel against his and how wonderful it would be to kiss this wonderful angel. Now here he was kissing her senseless. The kiss that the two were sharing quickly went from gentle to very rough and hard, like if they didn't keep kissing each other they would be consumed by the fire of passion that had consumed them. But the lack of air caused them to pull apart after their five minute kissing session. Once Naruto and Hinata parted lips, both were sporting a nice shade of blush and breathing heavily. Naruto didn't know what came over him a few minutes ago, but he just had this sudden urge to kiss Hinata and judging by the blush on her face and the smile, Hinata was very happy that he kissed her. As soon as Naruto looked into Hinata's eyes he saw something that he thought was the result of the kiss or his own mind playing tricks on him. But before he could find out what it was that he saw in her eyes, Alfred showed up along with Bruce who were ready to go. Naruto groaned at the thought of not finding out what that look was in Hinata's eyes, but knew that he would get his answer later. So he bent down to her ears and whispered something in her ear then he kissed her again but this one was on her cheek and left with Bruce and Alfred out of Shikamaru's place.

As Hinata watched Naruto and Mr. Wayne leave she failed to notice both Sakura and Anko right behind her with devilish grins on both their faces. For they had just arrived in time to see Hinata get kissed by the guy of her dreams. When Hinata turned around to head back to the others, she paled instantly for now she was going to endure a long night of personal questions from some of the nosiest women in Konoha. Hinata was just glad that Ino wasn't here also, for if she had been

Ino would have told the whole village what happened. Which not a good thing to do, one for her sake and the thought of the whole village knowing her business made he shy and nervous and second reason was for Naruto's sake. If the council found out about that Naruto was still alive, they would do everything they could to destroy him and anyone that is close to him. Also she wanted to make Naruto as happy as she could before something else happened. But for now, Hinata must deal with Anko and Sakura and their millions of questions regarding her date with Naruto. This was going to be a fun and long night for her.

Meanwhile Naruto was sitting rather uncomfortably in one of the chairs at the watch tower in the infirmary waiting to get the results of his test. Before meeting up with Superman and the others Naruto wanted to make sure that everything was alright and he wasn't coming down with something. A few minutes later the doctor came back with his results.

"Well doc am I alright or is something wrong with me. Cause a lot of weird stuff has been happening to me lately. And Diana and Shayera said that my eyes are starting to change color again. And the same thing that happened a few months ago is happening again. So what's wrong with me doc?" Naruto had a confused and anxious look on his face that made the doctor laugh a little.

"Shadow look I know your worried and everything but the test results are just the same as they were last time you came to me for a check up. The only difference this time your heart rate is a little higher than normal like you were running or something, tell me did something happen that could have caused this?" The doctor looked at Shadow with a knowing look and saw him nod his head yes.

"Yeah I kinda ran into some trouble on the way here. Tell me do you know anything about techniques that can stop someone's heart and mess up their nervous system?" The doctor shook his head no and went to the counter to get something. To Naruto's horror it was a needle.

"Now Shadow I'm just going to take a small blood sample and-," The doctor turned around a found that once again his patient had run off at the sight of a needle.

"Hughhh, that's the fourth time this week that he's done that. Oh well he'll come back next week, like usual to get checked up on. Until then, I think that I'll head home. I have a golf game in the morning any how and Marlene has an ultra sound in the morning anyway." And with that the doctor left to head home for the day.

Meanwhile Shadow had managed to make it all the way to the meeting hall where Superman and the other members of the league were waiting for him so they could talk about what has been going on and the recent attack that has happened. Not just in the city, but the constant attacks aimed at Naruto.

"Well if it isn't Romeo, and he's decided to grace us with his presence today. What's the matter, did you and your little girlfriend not enjoy dinner, or did you to get tired of making out with each oth-OWWW!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR BRAT!?!?!" Flash who had decided to open his big mouth at the wrong time, had suddenly gotten a huge lump on his head via Shadow who was not in the mood to talk about his date with Hinata, no matter how much he thought about her and how he would rather be with her right now than here in this room.

"Okay now that everyone is here, we can get this meeting on the way. Everyone as you all know in the past few days the recent attacks have been getting more intense and much more deadly. Although no one has been killed in these attacks, thank goodness, they are becoming more and more intense. Also the group of unidentified villains wearing black robes with red clouds on them have been spotted again. This time they have been spotted around Metropolis. Shadow you said so yourself that these guys show a big interest for some odd reason. Have you found out why?" Superman looked at Shadow and saw him nod his head no.

"Sorry, Superman, but I still don't know why these guys are after me. All I know is that they are ninja's and they mean business. And they don't care who gets in their way, these guys will stop at nothing to get what ever it is they want. Now I have a question for you guys, and I hope that one of you can answer it. What the heck happened downtown and why does Flash have dead snake skin on him?" Shadow was surprised to find out what had happened while he was dealing with that bastard that called himself Hinata's father.

"So that's what happened to you guys. But something still confuses me and that's how did these guys get here and how do we find them and stop them before they hurt any more innocent lives.?" The Senior league saw the look of worry on his face and knew that Shadow was right. But before the league could think about this any longer Batman decided to intervene and change the topic. Like what Hinata's father wanted and why did he attack him and Hinata.

"Shadow before we wrap this meeting up, did Hinata's father mention anything unusual when he was talking to you while you were fighting him. Anything at all?" Shadow thought for a minute then he remembered something that shook him to the bone.

*flashback to the fight with Hiashi*

"Not bad, for a demon. Tell me how much do you know about what you hold in you kid"

*flashback end*

"As a matter of fact he mentioned something about knowing about what I hold within me and he called me a demon brat for some odd reason. I don't know why, but when he said that it made my blood boil, along with all the stuff he said about his own daughter. I can't believe a guy like him actually exist in this world, or this life for that matter. He didn't even care about his own daughter living her own life and being happy. All he cared about was making her submit and obey him." The others saw how tense Shadow got when he talked about Hinata's father and knew that if this man showed up again, Shadow just might end up beating this guy within an inch of his life, or worse he might actually go as far as to kill him. Jon sensing the inner struggle within Naruto decided to talk to him in hopes of easing his mind a little.

"Shadow, I know you are upset and angry, but you must keep a cool head. Remember you are not the only one that he went after tonight. I believe that Miss Hyuga came here not only to help her friend but also to get away from her father and try to live a normal life. Shadow try not to focus so much on Miss Hyuga's father and focus on other things. Like the new opening of this building that Wayne industries has in Metropolis." Jon put on a smile when he saw Shadow put a smile on his face and all the dark thoughts he had about killing this girls father had disappeared. But he still needed to talk to Naruto and the fox about what is going on.

"Naruto before I forget, I would like to talk to you later this week and probe your mind to help you understand what happened earlier this evening. I think that once you know what happened, everything will make sense and perhaps these constant nightmares you have will stop as well." Shadow just smiled at Jon and that made everyone happy as well. Once the meeting was over with, both Batman and Shadow Ninja were heading to the Javelin hanger and were planing on heading back to Gotham, when Vixen and a few of the other league women showed up with smiles on their faces that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.

"Uhhh..can I help you ladies, cause I have to get up in the morning and go to work, and Vixen how did you get my cell phone again and why is that picture on there!?!?!" To Shadow's horror, his assistant Shikamaru, had sent him a picture of him and Hinata kissing in his apartment. After looking at this picture, all Shadow could think was how much he wanted to kill Shikamaru right now. And speaking of our dear friend he is going to be in for a big surprise when he gets to the office.

*Skip to the next day*

The next morning, Naruto decided to pay a visit to Shikamaru's office to find out how he got that picture and why did he send it to him. Also he needed to talk to him about the trip to Metropolis that he, Hinata and himself were going to take later on that evening. As Naruto got within two feet of Shikamaru's office he saw two men standing outside and both looked like they were ready to kill. Well one looked like he was suffering from insomnia while the other was bored out of his mind.

"Uh hey if you guys don't mind do you think that I could get in there, I need to talk to the guy in the room you are standing in front of for a few minutes and what is that sound?" No sooner had Naruto said those words, Shikamaru comes out of his office looking disoriented and flushed with some lipstick on his collar and his tie undone. Naruto was about to ask what was the matter when a young woman with dirty blonde hair in two pig tails came out of his office sporting a satisfied grin and a short mini-skirt with a tight fitting blouse that revealed some cleavage to the world, that would make any decent man's nose bleed, if they were into the short mini skirt thing.

"Uhhh do I want to know what happened in there, or should I come back in twenty minutes?" Temira just laughed and walked up to Naruto.

"I'm sorry, I thought even Shikamaru would have told you about his own fiancee once in a while. But I'll deal with him later. I'm Temari by the way and these are my brothers, Gaara and Kankuro." Naruto shook both of their hands and shook Temari's hand and congratulated her on her and Shikamaru's engagement. He then turned to said man and signaled him to follow him to his office to talk about what was going to be happening in the next few days. Also he needed to talk to him about that picture he sent him last night.

"It's been very nice meeting you all and I hope I'm invited to the wedding, but I need to steal your fiancee for a few minutes ma'am. You see he and I need to talk about a business trip that both he, myself and my secretary will be taking. Now if you will excuse us we must leave and talk about boring business and such that will probably put one of us to sleep, and my money is on Shikamaru here. Come on, Bruce is not a patient man when it comes to business." Shikamaru just nodded and was about to leave when he turned around and kissed Temari on the lips and keep in mind this was no small kiss. Once done he turned and followed his friend down to where his office was and where Hinata was waiting for both of them.

Once they were a good distance Naruto turned to his friend and put on a scowl that said 'we need to talk now!' Shikamaru knew what that meant and knew this was about the picture that was sent to him last night.

"Okay before you say anything, I know what this is about. Look one of my other friends came over last night. He came with Neji, Hinata's cousin remember. Well his name is Sasuke Uchiha and he was the one that took the picture and sent it to you. Before he and his girlfriend decided to keep me up half the night with their "playing" in the living room. So before you get mad at me I'm just letting you know that it was him that took the picture and sent it to you. And believe me when I say this, I already got my butt kicked by Neji for not only the kiss, but for the whole going on the date with you and not telling him thing." Naruto then understood why his friend was limping when they came in this morning and why he had dark circles under his eyes. Before he could ask anything else, both of them arrived at his office door when Hinata sat in a chair beside the door waiting for both of them. Naruto just smiled, knowing she was trying her best not to blush when he looked at her. But before they were later than they were, Shikamaru decided to remind his boss of his plans for the day.

"Um don't we have to meet up with Bruce in ten minutes, Naruto?" Shikamaru just chuckled and saw Naruto look frantically at the clock and saw that he was right.

"Yeah your right, come on lets go. Hinata, I'll explain a few things to you on the way about what is going to happen while we're in Metropolis okay. So don't worry and try to smile more often, you look cuter when you smile" Shikamaru noticed the giant blush that appeared on Hinata's face when Naruto said that, but what surprised him was not only did she not faint when Naruto said that, but she did indeed smile, and surprisingly it was a smile that no one had seen in three years since Naruto's disappearance. Not only did this make him smile but he had a funny feeling that Neji would be very happy to hear that his cousin was finally happy again.

Once they got to Bruce's office they went in and found that not only was Bruce in there but two other people as well. Shikamaru and Naruto knew who these two were but Hinata got a little nervous about these two and hid behind Naruto which caused the two guest to laugh.

"Sorry to frighten you like that Miss Hyuga, but these are a couple of friends of mine from Metropolis, Miss Lois Lane and Clark Kent of the Daily Planet. They will be traveling with you to Metropolis and covering the story of the opening of the new museum I told you about. Now remember Naruto, Miss Hyuga, and Shikamaru will be representing Wayne Industries and you all must act according to the rules of not just this company, but of the city. Which means no stupid stuff, understand?" Bruce saw all three teenagers nod their heads yes and then turned to Clark and Lois and gave them a smirk knowing that he directed that last comment more towards Naruto than the others.

"Now that we have cleared that up, why don't you three go get ready to leave. You have the rest of the afternoon off to do so and take what you need. But before you leave, Shikamaru, Naruto and I have a surprise for you. Naruto you and Miss Hyuga are free to leave and Miss Lane I will see both you and Clark in a few minutes for lunch." Bruce saw both Naruto and Hinata and Clark and Lois leave his office leaving only Shikamaru and Bruce to talk.

While Bruce and Shikamaru were talking, Naruto and Hinata were heading back to Naruto's office to get a few things then head home to pack a few things for their trip when Hinata thought about something that she didn't think of before. She saw her Naruto come out of his office with his suit jacket and a few papers in hand and went up to him hoping he could help.

"Um Naruto, can I ask you something?" Naruto saw the worried look in her eyes and wanted to know what was wrong.

"What's wrong Hinata, why do you look so worried?" Naruto saw that Hinata was worried about something and hoped that it wasn't about what happened last night.

"It's nothing serious, its just I was wondering about the hotel that we will be staying in do they allow pets, cause I have a little fox that I brought with me and I don't like the idea of leaving her and," Naruto held up a hand and smiled a smile of relief.

"Is that all, don't worry about it. And speaking of foxes, a little fox should up this morning at Bruce's place. Funny thing though, this fox had papers, tags and everything. And the name he had on his collar was very unique, he's called Orion. And for some odd reason I can't seem to get rid of him. I was going to bring him along too. So you can bring your fox as well. And I take it that Shikamaru has one too, huh? Tell him when you get back to his place that he can bring his fox too. The hotel that we'll be staying at is okay with people bringing their pets in and staying the night. Heck even those guys with the white tigers stayed there. Now what were their names again? Oh well don't worry about it okay, just have your things ready and Alfred and I will pick you up at three and then we'll head for the airport to Metropolis. See-ya Hinata. Oh before I forget..." Naruto then pulled Hinata into his office and closed the door behind him and kissed her with all his heart.

Hinata was on cloud nine again, for all she could think about was her Naruto and his wonderful talented lips once more. In fact the only that kept her from fainting during her talk with Sakura and Anko last night were thoughts of him and spending more time with him. While Hinata wqas thinking how lucky she was that moment, Naruto was having a little problem with a certain fox who decided to take over his sex drive at the moment and was causing Naruto's senses to go crazy.

As Naruto was kissing Hinata he started to get weird images of both him, Hinata and Shikamaru and a whole bunch of people from when he was still thirteen years old. He didn't know why but every time he was around Hinata or Shikamaru for that matter he got these strange images. And these images got stranger when he met with Shikamaru's fiancee and her brothers. But at the moment both he and Hinata became very aware of the lack of oxygen that their lungs craved. So Naruto broke off the kiss and stared into Hinata's pupil less eyes and saw the same thing in her eyes that he saw last night after he kissed her. Before he did something else, Naruto lead Hinata and himself out of his office and headed for the car where Alfred would drop them off to pack.

*Time skip to Shikamaru's place*

Meanwhile, Neji and his team were going over the data that Iruka retrieved for them while in the city looking for Hiashi and Danzo. As luck would have it Iruka found out that Danzo made a deal with Hiashi in order to get here.

"So you see, Danzo and Hiashi teamed up to not only find Hinata, but to finish what Luther and his goons couldn't do three years ago. And its times like that I'm grateful for Naruto's endless dumb luck saving him." Iruka looked at his former student now teammates and saw that they agreed as well with what he just said. Sakura was the only one that had a look of worry on her face, which didn't go unnoticed by Sasuke.

"Hey Sakura what's wrong, I thought you would be happy that Naruto is alright and alive, minus the whole memory loss thing." Sakura then turned her lover and told him what was on her mind.

"Sasuke, mina I am happy that Naruto is alive and everything. The thing that worries me is the Akatsuki and how close they are to finding Naruto. I know that Naruto is strong and so are we, but the Akatsuki is stronger and getting stronger by the day. Are we strong enough to take down rouge ninja's from different nations and who plan on destroying everything in their path?" Sasuke put his arm around Sakura in hopes of comforting her.

As the team sat in silence thinking of what to do about the Akatsuki, all of them heard a very loud and annoying voice that made them cringe.

"OH MY YOUTHFUL FRIENDS, HOW GOOD IT IS TO SEE YOU!!!!" Everyone groaned and knew that they would have a headache by the end of the day thanks to him.

Neji went to open the door and knock some sense into his loud teammate when he became lip locked with his girlfriend/teammate TenTen. So while Neji and TenTen were kissing, Ino and the other members of Rookie Nine showed up and filled the apartment building along with their foxes with the new member to the group Sai and his fox Scribe.

"Okay what are you all doing here? I thought you all were back in the village with missions of your own and why is Kurenai-sensei here with you guys?" Sakura and the others noticed that not only was Kurenai here, but also Gai and Asuma who had cotton stuffed in his ears for some odd reason. Then before anyone could say anything, Kakashi shows up from a puff of smoke right beside his two students.

"To answer your question about why we are here, it simple. Late last night Danzo and his Anbu Root attacked the Lady Hokage and tried to take over the village. Unfortunately for Danzo he underestimated not only the power of the Hokage, but he also didn't take into account that Gaara was informed of what was going on and to say that he was unhappy was an understatement. Now not only is Hiashi here, but Danzo as well. And the reason why we are here is because the Lady Hokage has given us another mission." Sasuke, Sakura and Neji looked even more confused than ever and were about to ask about this new mission that they were given when Sai spoke up and told them what the mission was.

"This new mission that we were assigned to is a SS-ranked mission and it requires all of us to finish it. For not only do we have to find the Akatsuki and Orochimaru, but also Hiashi and Danzo for acts of treason and betrayal against the Leaf Village and trying to destroy the Hokage. Which as you know is a major crime in its own right. This mission also requires the help of a certain Nara, and where is he?" Sai and the others received their answer when both Hinata and Shikamaru appeared in the room. And the first thing they noticed was the look of shock on Shikamaru's face and the look of content on Hinata's face. Heck Hinata didn't even notice the others in the room, she just left to go pack her things for the trip and didn't really notice anyone until Sakura, TenTen, and Ino came into her room to see what was wrong with her.

"Hinata are you alright, you look like the cat that caught the canary. What happened to you anyway to make you seem so floaty. Its like your on cloud nine-," Ino stopped what she was saying and then put on a smirk for she knew what was wrong her friend when they all heard something that meant bad news for Shikamaru and a whole hour of embarrassment for Hinata.

*KNOCK-KNOCK*

"HEY SHIKAMARU I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU GUYS YOUR FLIGHT TICKETS TO METROPOLIS!!!" Through the door everyone heard the voice that caused many people to gasp in shock, while it caused Shikamaru to say only a few small words.

"Oh crap."

*AN. Hey looks like Shikamaru has a lot more explaining to do before he and Hinata leave with Naruto for Metropolis as well as try to calm down a few other ninja and keep them from killing him. Next chapter....the trio head for Metropolis and find trouble along the way. Also Hinata meets up with Shadow Ninja and starts to fall for him, when in reality she is falling for Naruto too. Talk about drama. Also I would like to take this time to apologize to all my faithful readers for my lack of response to your reviews and lack of updating. My family and I had moved into a new house a week ago and it wasn't until this weekend that just past that my family moved on to Wi-Fi (wireless internet). So please forgive me. Also with the 4th of July holiday last week I was kinda busy at work, who knew that so many people could buy eight hundred dollars worth of food and fire works. Well enough about my life, I will be working on more chapters to my other stories and posting a few new stories as well. Also I'm still looking for someone to translate Japanese to English and German to English as well. Please let me know if there is someone out there like that. So until next time..Ja ne!!!*
