Random Fact:
The whole time I was writing this, I was listening to "Dj Got Us Fallin' In Love" By Usher. XD But then again, I always listen to that song whenever i'm on my laptop. O.o I Love You Usher! 3 Blah, on to the story -_-
Naruto woke up from his slumber with a yawn, sitting up and stretching. He had to admit, sleeping early really helped, because he felt amazing. He sighed getting up and unzipping his tent a bit to see if Hinata was awake. His eye's widened when he saw her in fact awake, punching a tree with one chakra less punch, making the whole thing collapse on the ground. When did she get that much strength? But the weird thing was, he wasn't focusing on her insane strength, but how her now soaked from sweat cloths stuck on to her body, showing off her breathtaking figure. He watched her twirl around, throwing perfect punches and kicks in nothing but a tank top and butt length shorts. He bit his bottom lip when he saw her jump, her ample chest bouncing up and down with her. How come he never noticed this girl before?
She jumped up, nailing the perfect back flip that Kiba taught her. It was a technique that helped aim with your Kunai's to be more accurate. She was good at the back flip, but it was always the landing that messed her up. She could never nail it. So crossed her fingers when she started to fall back toward the grassy ground. She decided to put all her pressure on one leg, only to bend it and land on her left knee incredibly hard, feeling the excruciating pain rush through her leg. She sat down and grabbed her knee, hugging it to try and make the pain go away, hoping it wasn't broken.
"You need to focus more on your leg positioning and not the back flip.." she heard a voice say from above her. She looked up and blushed when she saw the shirtless Naruto. He stuck his hand down toward her, which she eventually used to get up. She felt the slowly healing pain rush back toward her knee and let out a cry. "Don't worry, it isn't broken. I guess it isn't that used to pain, huh." Naruto said, chuckling. Hinata nodded, not being fully convinced though.
"So.. you have any clue on how I can land it?" She asked after she thought that the pain had disappeared. This earned a smile from Naruto as he started stretching his arms.
"Well, if your legs are always the problem, you can try landing on your hands." He said, using his hands as legs when he got into his hand stand. He bended his elbows and hopped up into the air landing perfectly on his feet. Hinata's eyes widened in shock as she shook her head, not because Naruto was the one who just demonstrated something to her, but that she was staring at his shirtless body the whole time. How his perfect cut abs worked when he jumped up in the air. She recognized how toned it was, and that it wasn't pale like the other Ninja's in Konoha. She blinked a few times when she felt hands wave in front of her face. When she fully opened them, she recognized how Naruto's nose was touching hers. "Oh phew, I thought you got bored with me and died." He said, grinning his usual huge grin, not once stepping back so he could let her breath. When she felt the blush come on her face, she mentally cursed at herself. She tried everything in her power to control her blushing and stuttering in front of Naruto. She tried acting like her feelings for him disappeared and convinced almost everyone back in Konoha, except for Ino who always knew what she was thinking. She closed her eyes and bit her bottom lip to try and sooth the anger. Why does he always have this control over me? When she felt fingers place themselves on her forehead she opened her eyes again. "Are you alright? Your acting pretty strange." she shook her head to get her head back together.
"I-I'm fine." she mentally cursed at herself again for her stuttering, but surprised when the smile started forming on Naruto's lips.
"That's the cute Hinata I missed." He said, causing her heart to pause for a moment. He missed me? And thought I was cute? She shook her head again, knowing how much of a mental person she might be looking to Naruto right now. She exhaled the breath she never knew she was holding and braced herself when she looked up in his eyes.
"I-I think we should b-be going now." she said, pinching herself as a warning if she stuttered again. Naruto nodded and backed away, heading for his tent. When she saw that he disappeared inside it, she slowly slid down the tree. This was going to be harder then she thought.
Sakura slowly resisted the urge to kill Hinata for getting that close to Naruto. She didn't want to cause a scene just yet. The murderous thoughts disappeared when she thought of a something else she could do that could get Hinata killed, without her doing the all nasty work. She smiled to herself. What else could you expect from the smartest Konnoichi in Konoha?
Time Skip: At The Sound Village Entrance.
Naruto and Hinata reached the entrance in one peace. Hinata sighed when their awkward silence finally ended. They headed in through the gates, when they were stopped by two Ninja's.
"Who are you, and what business do you have here?" One of them said, as the other crossed his arms.
"Um we're-"
"Oh! I know who you are! Your Gate Ninja's right? Oh! Oh! Did you go to the same Gate Ninja school that our Gate Ninja's back in our village did?" He exclaimed, cutting Hinata off with a pointed finger and wide eyes. The place got silent as everyone watched Naruto in confused expressions.
"Is this some kind of Joke, Carl?" the one who hadn't spoken asked. The other one rubbed his chin.
"I think so, Bob. I mean, either that, or he must be one idiotic teenager." He said as the two nodded their heads. Hinata thought it should be time to interfere again when she saw the angry expression come on Naruto.
"Um, i'm so sorry about my husband. He can be a handful sometimes." she said, hugging Naruto's right arm. "We're here because..er...uh...i'm pregnant! Yeah, pregnant, and what better place to have our baby then-"
"The place we grew up in!" Naruto offered. Hinata looked at Naruto then at the Gate Ninja's who looked like they weren't buying it.
"Yup, that's it, we grew up here. Oh, and you'll never believe it, we were just thinking to name the baby...um...Carl'O'Bob to!" she said, smiling innocently.
"You know honey, that is a beautiful name. I am jealous at the people who have the names Carl and Bob. I mean, if only my parents named me...er...Carl'O'Bob instead of Naruto." Naruto said, grinning at her then the Gate Ninja's. The one named Bob sighed.
"You two are the-"
"Sweetest things ever!" Carl replied, getting an angry look from Bob. "I mean, I was waiting for the day that people noticed what an amazing name Carl really is. You know what, come inside!" he said, opening the village gates. The now very surprised Naruto and Hinata walked into the gates. "Remember to come and tell me when the baby shower is!" he yelled after them.
"Oh you know we will!" Hinata yelled back, turning away when she felt the laugh creeping up her throat.
"And they call me the dumb one." Naruto said, chuckling a bit as they walked further into the mysterious village.
"I'm telling you, Shikamaru. She just walked off when I told her they were heading for the Sound Village, and now her mom tells us she went off on a mission? Somethings up." Ino said, taking another french fry and popping it into her mouth.
"Isn't kind of already obvious?" Shikamaru said with a yawn. Ino raised her eyebrow at the lazy Ninja.
"What is?" she asked, grabbing about five french fries and stuffing them all in her mouth.
"That she must like Naruto. It only makes sense, she was in love with Sasuke, Naruto been telling her how useless it was and that she'll get heartbroken, Sasuke leaves and she sees Naruto was right. Then she started getting really close with Naruto, who then left for two years to wherever the hell he went to, he comes back this completely handsome dude, (well, not that handsome in my perspective) and Sakura decides this is her chance in getting who she wants because she realizes that Naruto is already madly in love with her. I mean, if your not in love, always fall for the person who loves you right?" Shikamaru finished, raising his eyebrow at the blonde haired girl who was frozen in her spot while a fry dropped from her hand.
"Oh...My...Fucking...Goodness. She's gonna kill Hinata!" Ino exclaimed, getting up. Shikamaru yawned once more stretching his arms.
"Well, I guess my work here is done." he said when he felt her hand wrap around his wrist.
"No, it isn't. Your job is just beginning, let's go." she said as she tugged on his wrist, dragging him to the gates.
"And just what is my job anyway?" He asked when they reached the gates.
"Saving Hinata." Ino said before they broke off into their run.
The two walked into the shop that had "Sound Village Ramen Shop." written on it and Naruto rubbed his hands together. When the guy went out back to the kitchen to get their orders, Hinata turned to the blonde hungry ninja.
"Um, Naruto...Tsunade didn't tell you the reason why were um...here yet, did she?" She asked, watching the impatient boy pounding the table and yelling for his Ramen.
"Nope. Does it really matter anyway? You know, so that's good enough." he said, grinning when their food finally arrived. Hinata bit her bottom lip before she took her first chopstick full of Ramen. She had to tell him sometime.
"Sasuke." she blurted out, as Naruto slowly turned to Hinata with a confused expression, his mouth never leaving the chopsticks. "We're here to find Sasuke." she whispered really low, not trying to meet his gaze. When she realized nothing was happening, she turned back to Naruto who was frozen in his spot. She opened her mouth but closed it when his bowl dropped on the floor, breaking it.
"Hey kid! Your gonna have to pay for th-"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" he exclaimed, anger rushing through him. Hinata noticed his eyes turn from sky blue to blood red and slowly got up. "What kind of heartless person are you Hinata? If you- If you- If you had just- ARGHH!" he pounded the table again, this time making the whole thing collapse. He got up and grabbed collar of Hinata's top, pinning her to the wall. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HINATA! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I CARED FOR HIM!" Hinata couldn't concentrate on what he was saying while it got harder and harder for her to breath.
"N-Naruto your...your ch-choking me." she let out, feeling the grip on her shirt loosen. When he finally let go, she watched his eyes blink blue then red again as he backed away slowly before breaking off into a run. Hinata looked down, Tsunade had warned her not to tell him before they actually found Sasuke, but he deserved to know. The snapping of fingers caused her to pick up her head.
"Hey lady, here's your check." The ramen man said. Hinata sighed as she searched her backpack for the cash she brought.
Sakura finally reached the sound village, totally breathless. She panted a bit before she started walking through the gates, when a couple of Ninja's stopped her.
"Who are you, and what business do you have here?" one of them said.
"And why is your hair pink?" the other asked, raising his eyebrow at her odd hair color. She frowned at the one who asked the question about her hair while she tried breathing normally again.
"Have... Have you... seen a... blonde haired boy...about yay tall... accompanied by...a shy looking violet haired girl...with freaky white eyes?" She asked, grabbing a water bottle from the side of her backpack and gulping it all down. She hasn't been working out these past few days. The two Gate Ninja's looked at each other with shocked expressions and turned back to her.
"Yeah, the married couple came in a few moments ago. They had come here because...er.. what was it again, Carl?"
"Because they were having a baby!" Carl exclaimed, clapping his hands. "How could you forget that Bob? You know, their naming it Carl'O'Bob! I'm having a baby named after me! Aw, I can't wait until that baby shower!" he said, smiling like he just won the lottery and was going to France. Sakura raised her eyebrow at the Gate Ninja. How could he actually fall for that? Sakura cleared her throat. It was time for her plan to go in action.
"Oh my kami, she did it again." Sakura said, slapping her forehead. "That lying, devious little- Argh!" she opened up her backpack to take out a small notebook and pretended to write things down. The Gate Ninja she now knew as Bob raised his eyebrow.
"What's wrong?" he asked, kind of scared. Sakura sighed.
"I'm with the Konoha...Secret...er..."
"Society?" Carl asked.
"Yeah, Society, whatever. Well, my mission was to find this girl, well, this con artist, who goes around, taking hostage after hostage, making them lie for her. We've been trying to track her down for...er...2 years now, and i'm right at the heat of her tracks. Turns out this new hostage she has, is suppose to be...uh...the next Hokage!" she exclaimed, trying to hold back her laugh at the image of Naruto being the Hokage. The two looked at each other again.
"What? Your telling me that dumb little blonde kid is supposed to be the next Hokage?" Bob asked, narrowing his eyes in disbelief.
"Oh, yes, yes. His father was the fourth Hokage. In all honesty, he's nothing close to dumb, she's only forcing him to act that way so nobody would notice, he really has a lot of..er...potential." She said, trying to hold back her laugh again. Naruto? Potential? Oh yeah right. Bob's eyes widened, has he been fooled?
"Wait, but why would she want to lie in the first place? What could she possibly get out of all of this?" Bob asked, his hands on his hips.
"Hello! She stole the next Hokage and brought him all the way to the Sound Village, planning to lock him up and leave him here while she runs back to Konoha, telling everyone that he died and that she tried her best to save him, and become the next Hokage for all her courage, and who knows what she'll do with all of that power." Sakura said, surprised at how convincing she sounded. Bob scratched his head while Carl crossed his arms.
"But wouldn't you people already know that wasn't the truth because the Konoha Secret Society is already looking for her knowing her entire plan." Bob asked, making Sakura become more angry with him. She sighed.
"I'm the only one who knows of her plan with the Hokage at this moment. What if she leaves and gets to Konoha before I can? She might banish all K.S.S and I wont even be aloud in there to tell everyone the truth about her." She said, tired that she had this much explaining to do. Bob thought about it for a second then widened his eyes.
"So your telling me there's a power hungry, Hokage stealing, Shy looking, wanted by the K.S.S con artist in the Sound Village?" he sighed. "Yeah, uh dude, we're totally fired."
"Wait, wait." Carl said, getting a sigh from Sakura. What more information did they need? "Your saying that...there really isn't a baby that's gonna be named Carl'O'Bob?" He asked, a bit sad. Sakura raised her eyebrow at him. Will there ever be a baby named Carl'O'Bob?
"Damnnit Carl, your the stupidest Gate Ninja i've ever met. No duh there isn't a baby gonna be named Carl'O'Bob! Didn't you hear the K.S.S's story? The girls a liar! Why are you even a ninja to begin with?" Bob stated in disgust, turning back to Sakura. "So, how fast can you rid her out of our Village?" he asked her. Sakura mentally grinned. Jackpot.
"In a few days maybe, I can work as fast as I can. That's just how I was raised sir." Sakura replied.
"Okay, i'll alert our Ninja's. We're gonna keep a lookout." he said.
"Good, i'm gonna need help." Sakura said, bowing. The Gate Ninja nodded, opening the gates for her as she walked in. She smiled when she was out of sight range. Now she wasn't the only one who wanted Hinata dead.
"Shikamaru! Can your run faster? Seriously, i'm beginning to think Chouji's faster then you." Ino said as the lazy ninja stopped to breath.
"Can we please set camp? My legs are starting to give out and I think my heart is gonna pop out of my chest any second." Shikamaru said in between breaths. Ino crossed her arms and sighed.
"Whatever lazy ass. Seriously, why did I pick you to come with me?" she asked as she walked over to the spacy field.
"I seriously don't know." he said as he followed her but tripped over something. He looked down and saw a folded piece of paper that had "Property Of Sakura Haruno." written on it. He unfolded it and saw a map of the Sound Village with dots over buildings in it. He raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Hey Ino, I think I found Sakura's map." he said. Ino turned around an ran up to him, practically ripping it out of his hands.
"Oh my god, what could she be planning then?" she asked, squinting her eyes at the map, trying to figure out what it meant.
"I have no clue, but I think you'll make me find out." he said as Ino nodded. He sighed and took the paper from her hands. He didn't know what Sakura could be planning, but he had a taste on how precise and well thought they ended up to be.
TheEnd.
