TheElly929: Okay, this goes to all of my readers: YOU MUST REVIEW SO THAT THIS STORY CAN CONTINUE!
Neji: Shut up, Elly, you're making a fool of yourself.
TheElly929: The only one who is making a fool of themselves is you, Hyuuga. If you keep acting like that, then I'll remove you from the story.
Tenten: Do whatever she says.
Neji: And why should I?
Tenten: Because one, she is the author, and two you and me are NOT gonna make love tonight.
Neji: NOOOOOOOO! Okay, okay. I'm sorry Elly-sama.
TheElly929 (sweat drops): Okay, apology is accepted. Tenten-san, will you do the honors of saying the disclaimer? (Thinks to herself: Poor Neji).
Tenten: Elly-sama does NOT own Naruto. Only Hinata and Kishimoto-sensei own him. Oh, and if you say that Kishimoto-sensei is a baka, I will come to your house and kill you with one of my sacred scrolls.
TheElly929 (sweat drops): You know, you don't have to threaten the readers, Tenten.
Tenten: Sorry, it's my nature.
TheElly929: You're forgiven, for now.

Neji could not believe his Byakugan activated eyes. He saw trouble. He saw that Naruto was about to grope his paternal cousin's sacred naked body. He also saw that they were sleeping in the same bed as each other. When he walked into Naruto's mansion the next morning, the door was unlocked. 'This is odd,' thought Neji. 'He usually leaves his door locked around this time.' He walked up the stairs to an orange door. He opened the door and saw that nobody was there.
'I wonder if they are in the other room,' he thought again, closing the door. He opened the violet (or purple) door and saw that the both of them were buried into each other. Neji took a deep breath and said
"NARUTO UZUMAKI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HINATA-SAMA?!" With that outburst, both Naruto and Hinata woke up and saw that Neji was standing at the foot of the bed, fuming. Both of them giggled nervously. Instead of scolding at the younger shinobi, he simply gave Hinata a change of clothes.
"Aren't you supposed to be at the office by now?" asked Neji. "There are many ninja waiting to put in their mission reports and it's already noon."
"Oh, right," said Naruto, sheepishly smiling. "I'm sorry Neji. This is all a misunderstanding. Both of us were on a date and her house was too far away from the restaurant that we came here and I told her that she can stay here as long as she wants."
"Whatever," said Neji, who was exasperated. "What I want to know is how is that you saw my dear cousin nude."
"He di-did wh-what?" asked Hinata. "N-Naruto-kun, is this true?"
"That's because you fainted!" Naruto exclaimed. "I didn't know what to do! You know what? I'm going to the office. Besides, I have a mission for you anyway, Hinata."
"Hai, Naruto-kun," replied Hinata. And he said to Neji "You have to get back to work, Neji. Those young Hyuugas are waiting for you to teach them something." Neji was about to protest, but kept his moth shut. He bowed to him and left the room
(Fast forward to office)
Naruto is busy with a lot of filing and checking off mission reports. He looks serious on the outside, but he was trailing his thoughts on the inside. One of his thoughts trailed back to Hinata. 'Why is it that my thoughts go all the way back to her?' he thought to himself. All of his thoughts were broken when Hinata stepped into the room. Shikamaru, his assistant, still had not arrived yet. 'Hmm, maybe Ino-baka might have kept him in all night just so that he could miss a day,' he thought again.
"A-Ano . . ." said Hinata, twiddling her fingers. "I am here for the mission." Naruto observed what she was wearing. She was wearing her trademark hoodie (from Naruto Shippuuden, not the 1st part) with dark blue pants and her shoes. 'Even though her clothing is simple, she looks
good,' Naruto thought, resting his chin on the back of his hands (just like Tsunade does).
"Right the mission," Naruto said. "Your mission is to spy on and gather information on Sasuke and the Akatsuki. It is known that they are still going after the Kyuubi no Youko. But the real reason why I want you to go on this mission is to find out whether or not Sasuke will return to Konoha. This is your first S-rank mission in a long time. I am sending you with your old squad, Squad 10. Do you think you are up for it?"
Hinata sighed. 'It's been a while since I've seen Kiba-kun and Shino-kun,' she thought. 'But this mission does not require for me to reminisce the times I've had with them.' She sighed again. "I-I'm up f-for it," she finally said.
"Good," the Rokudaime said. "Because I am placing you as captain of this mission, since you are familiar with the area. This is close to where we found the Bikochu beetle. That's the new place of which the Akatsuki have their lair. Don't ask how I got the information. I have my own ways of getting it."
"But, wh-when are th-they coming?" Hinata asked.
"They should be arriving shortly," said Naruto again, writing something down. He was writing down how he should congratulate Hinata for being one of the best spies that the ANBU has to offer. 'I'll go ask Sakura or Ino-baka for some advice," he thought.
Three moments later, Kiba and Shino arrived along with Shikamaru and Ino. Kiba and Ino were shoving each other just so that one of them could get in first. Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Shino, sweat dropped at this sight.
"Move it, dogbreath!" exclaimed Ino.
"Not a chance, piggy!" Kiba shouted back.
Ino went wide-eyed on him (you know when their eyes bug out without any signs of pupils and stuff like that). "What did you just say?!"
"I said 'Not a chance, piggy'!" repeated Kiba.
"That's it!" Ino shouted. "I've had it with you!"
"That's enough you two," said Naruto, calmly. Everybody turned around to see that Naruto was tapping the table. They also noticed how calmly he solved the situation.
"Anyway," continued Naruto. "Ino, get one of your best students and tell him or her that they have a mission to take care of."
"Hai, Naruto-baka!" exclaimed Ino. She poofed away right before Naruto was going to punch her in the head. 'Damn, that girl is one pain in the neck,' thought Naruto. When Ino came back, she brought Mayuri Tsutomi, her best medical ninja student. She reached Chuunin level at age 9 and is now aiming for Jounin at age 15. She is currently 14 years old.
"Mayuri-san, long time, no see," said Naruto, who kept on writing mission approvals.
"Hello, Naruto-sama," said Mayuri. "I believe that I am on this mission because you need a medical ninja. Am I right?"
"You are correct on that level," said Naruto. "But another thing is that you are here because of your family's bloodline limit, your kekkei genkai. It is a form of dojutsu similar to the Hyuuga's and Uchiha's. Am I correct?"
"Hai, Naruto-sama," said Mayuri. "It traps enemies into a genjutsu from a far distance. We can also set illusionary traps in an area that we want or expect an enemy to go to. It is called 'Godogan' or 'the way of the eyes'."
"Hinata will inform you on what the mission is all about. Kiba and Shino will keep up with the terrain, while you, Mayuri, will tend to their wounds and trap enemies or threats with your Godogan. Is that clear?"
"Hai, Naruto-sama," said the four of them.
"Tomorrow, you will leave at dawn. Make sure you pack up wisely because this mission is for three weeks. You may leave." And with that, Squad 10 and Mayuri left. Who would've thought that Naruto would be a good strategist? (No offense Shikamaru.)
"None taken," Shikamaru said to the narrator. All this time he was quietly assessing the line up and people used in this mission. That was the 1st purpose of being Naruto's assistant/adviser/secretary/right-hand man.
The other purpose was to carry and alert information to Naruto (dammit, I said too much).
"Shikamaru," said Naruto, breaking the speech that I just gave. "Why are you so late? It's not like you to do that."
Shikamaru started to blush. Knowing that Shikamaru rarely has his emotions leak out of him, this is a rare thing that would happen. He leaned toward Naruto's left ear and said something to him. Whatever it was, it made Naruto open his eyes wide (without pupils). This caused Ino to open the door and slam it, causing a picture to fall down from the wall. She was sanding outside of the office, blushing hard.
'What if Shikamaru told Naruto what we did?' she thought. 'Then he'll be doing something that would cause the whole village to know! Oh my goodness! What should I do? Maybe I should talk to Sakura about this. But not until I get a check up first.' Ino sighed and walked over to the hospital. She was greeted by a few patients, nurses, medical-nin-in-training, and surgeons that were there.
Going back to Shikamaru and Naruto, Naruto had his eyes wide open without the pupils.
"So wait a minute," Naruto finally said, his eyes returning back to normal. "You did (Naruto put a finger in his mouth and made a popping sound as he took it out) and now you think she's (Naruto did another motion which caused him to show a growing belly)?" Shikamaru nodded his head.
"Now what are you going to do?" asked Naruto. Shikamaru shrugged and pulled a small box out of his pocket. The box had a ring inside of it.
"I'm going to ask for her hand in marriage," said Shikamaru. "This might be such a pain because she might squeal with joy."
Naruto was about to say something to motivate him, but was interrupted by Sakura, who just happened to open the door with out knocking.
"Sh-Shikamaru!" said Sakura, panting. "Ino just stepped into the hospital today. I gave her a checkup and it just so happens that she is pregnant."
"Sh-She is?" asked Shikamaru. That was when he started to cry tears of joy (SO out of character right there). "I'm, I'm going to be a father." (Who would've thought that the non-motivated Shikamaru Nara was so emotional?)
"Shikamaru," said Sakura. "What are you going to do now? Ino's pregnant and is throwing up in a toilet bowl right now."
He rubbed the back of his head. "I love her and I can't stop loving her (insert "Can't Stop Loving You" (I forgot the name of the artist) here). I know this is troublesome and it's not like me to say this, but I want to ask for her hand in marriage."
"Oh my goodness!" gasped Sakura. "You should do it now! Bring her some flowers and stuff like that. You could buy her a necklace and other things!"
"What a drag," said Shikamaru. "But Ino is worth it."
"Naruto-sama is Hinata around today?" asked Sakura, returning her attention back to our blonde hero. "I need to speak with her." Sakura noticed that Naruto was blushing.
"She is," Naruto said. "She should be at her house by now. She's going on a mission at dawn tomorrow. This is her first S-rank mission ever since she was injured half a year ago."
"I'm going there now and I'm going to help her pack. See you later." With that, Sakura poofed away from this scene.
"Finally I can get some peace and quiet," Naruto said, leaning back on his chair and putting his feet on the desk.
"While you do that, I'm going to visit Asuma's grave," said Shikamaru. "Then I can propose to her when I get plans laid out.
"So I'll see you tomorrow then," said Naruto.
"Alright, later Naru-Naru."
"By Shikamaru, AND DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
That was when Shikamaru poofed right in the nick of time before Naruto got a hit out of him with a book (Old habits seem to stick with Naru-Naru).
"I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT!" shouted Naruto.
"Sorry," said the narrator.
. . . . .
Hinata was right in the middle of packing her bag when all of a sudden, Sakura appeared from out of nowhere to now here (a tribute to Guru Pitka .) in her room.
"Wh-what a-are you d-doing here S-Sakura-chan?" asked Hinata.
"Nothing really," said Sakura. "Just gonna ask you some questions."
"O-Okay," said Hinata, looking unsure.
"Do you remember 4 years ago when Naruto came back from his 'research, writing, and training' for about a year?" asked Sakura.
"H-Hai," said Hinata. "We've seen how much he changed over the years."
"Remember when you fainted when we both found him?"
"H-Hai."
Flashback 3
Sakura and Hinata were looking for casualties from the big explosion that occurred not too far from Konoha. They found a body buried in rocks, but he was not dead. As the two kunoichi dug the man out, they saw that he had long, blond, shaggy hair with a built physique and faint whisker markings on his cheeks. His clothes were ripped and tattered and he was beaten pretty badly (probably because of the rocks that fell on him). Both of them blushed at the sight of the really handsome man.
Sakura went through the hand signs and had clones carry the tattered body and the clones went back to Konoha.
"Okay, Hinata," said Sakura. "We can go now. He looks like he is the only casualty around here. Hinata? HINATA!" When Sakura turned around she saw that Hinata was red and she fainted. Sakura sighed and went through the hand signs again and more clones came. This time, they picked up Hinata. Who would've thought that neither of them remembered or thought that it was Naruto.
End of flashback (tee-hee!)
"So what do you think of Naruto-sama?" asked Sakura.
"A-Ano . . ." Hinata started.
"No, it's okay," Sakura said. "You can tell me. Besides, I noticed this a long time ago that you liked him."
"Y-You d-did?"
"Ever since the academy days. While me and Ino would chase around Sasuke, I would stop sometimes and notice you watching the dense boy train." She paused for a moment, and then continued. "But no matter how dense he was, you still believed in him and he still believed in you. So are you two going out or what?"
"I-I d-don't know," said Hinata, twiddling her fingers. 'But he did take me out to dinner last night so I guess we do,' she thought. "Well, I, I think that you sh-should a-ask N-Naruto-kun that question."
"Okay," said Sakura, who was a little disappointed. "I'm going back to the hospital. I'll stop by the Hokage's mansion and go to his office at the end of my shift. I'll see you in two weeks."
"Bye, Sakura-chan," said Hinata (FINALLY, no stutter! :D).
"Bye, Hinata-hime," said Sakura, as she poofed away.
'Hinata-hime?' thought Hinata. 'I never heard anyone call me that before.' After being stunned by what Sakura said, Hinata continued to pack up her ninja tools.
Although he had more papers to fix up and approve, Naruto was exhausted. All of the writing and stamping that he had to do caused his hands to turn as red as Hinata whenever she blushed. He was up to his last
pile of the day, when all of a sudden, Sakura poofed into existence. She was looking at Naruto as if she had a plan or something to do with him.
"Naruto," she said. "Do you like Hinata?"
At first, Naruto was sitting down, dumbfounded at the question. But then, he caught on with what Sakura was trying to do. "What makes you say that?"
"The way you look at her, the way you smile at her, and each time she leaves the room, you seem sad and depressed."
He thought it over for a moment. 'Damn, she's right,' he thought. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Now let me finish my work." He pulled a pile of papers towards him and continued to stamp them. Sakura held his right hand to prevent him from stamping more papers.
"Why are you avoiding my question?" she asked again, looking more serious. "Oh, I know! It's because you like her, no love her!"
When Sakura said the word "love", Naruto fell out of his seat and was on his gluteus maximus. He started to blush a bright pink.
"If you don't answer the question, then I will strike you," she threatened.
"Alright, alright," Naruto said, sitting down in the chair again. "I like her. I'm not sure about love yet because we didn't get to know each other that much. No matter how many missions that I have been on with her, I don't know how she feels. She's so shy." (A/N: What a dobe . . .)
"My Kami-sama Naruto," she shouted. "Why are you so clueless and dense? She likes you or maybe even more. She was like this ever since we went to the academy. Even when we were in the training fields, she would watch you. You motivate her and that's why she's so strong! Dammit Naruto, you need to go to her house and take to her!"
"But does she even know about what's inside of me?" he shouted back, on the verge of tears. "I don't know what she'll say when she finds out I have the Kyuubi inside of me!" He started sobbing really softly.
"She's not the type of person to make you feel terrible," Sakura said, softening her tone. "If she was, then why would she like or even love you?
I'll leave you to think about it yourself." Sakura opened the door and closed it lightly.
"You know, she's right kit," said the Kyuubi. "She was always caring for you and was there to support you. She might even help you out when it comes to me."
"For once, you're right, Kyuubi," Naruto said. "She's nearly always been there for me and almost vice versa. Now I need to tell her how I feel towards her. I'm going to the Hyuuga compound today."
"That's the spirit, kit."
Naruto finished up the last pile of mission reports for the day. He stamped them and placed them back in their designated files. Once he finished, he checked the time. It was 6:45 pm. Time flew by ever since he got here at about one. He took his jacket (the one that resembles his father's in being white with red-orange flames, but it said "Yellow Flash Jr.)" and walked out of his office. The Hyuuga compound is about a 30 minute walking distance from the Hokage mansion (A/N: For those who are Naruto Nerds, I KNOW that it's not a 30 minute distance from the Hokage mansion. Go away.). So Naruto decided to do a Body Flicker Jutsu. When he did that, he reached the Hyuuga compound in only 15 seconds. He took a deep breath and walked over to the guards at the door.

Okay, so here's chapter 2. It's gonna take longer for chapter 3 to come up, but I promise it will be good. What I also wanted to do was insert one of the songs that I am writing in this chapter. It's called "All I Ever Want is to be With You." It's for Serenity, my story. It was going to go into when Hinata was packing up her ninja tools. Please review so that I can continue this story! I actually like it!
-TheElly929
BTW, do you think I should have written a prequel before I wrote this story? Please R&R or message me. I would REALLY appreciate it.
Note: Song "All I Ever Want is to be With You" is a © copyright of Serenity written and illustrated (cover) by Elly. Please DO NOT take this song or title of story away from me. I worked really hard on this story and this song!
