Chapter Four: Do You?
2 years and 6 months ago--
(naruto slams into the ground with sasuke standing over him holding a chidori in his left-hand.) "COME ON NARUTO! GET YOUR ASS OFF THE GROUND AND FIGHT TO YOUR POTENTAL!" yelled sasuke. 'man when did he get so bad, I mean his training just isn't as intense as it used to be.' "can we take a break?" asked a very out of breath naruto. "yeah, its lunchtime anyway" said jiraiya. " Hey Jiraiya-sempai didn't we have some research to catch up on?" asked Kakashi in a specific way. (hee hee) "yes my student I think we did." answered a giggling jiraiya. "sasuke, naruto give us your wallets." ordered Kakashi. "NO." said the boys together. "that's fine we'll use the mission money tsunade gave us, you guys go to the hotel and rest, eat, take a bath, or whatever I don't really care." said jiraiya while they were walking towards town. "don't wait up" added Kakashi. (at the hot springs) "stupid pervy-sage and ero-sensei." muttered naruto while stepping in the springs. " they'll never learn" added sasuke. "dobe, what's up with your training its not as hardcore as it used to be." asked sasuke plainly. (naruto looked around for a few seconds as if to make sure no one was there ,then relaxed and looked back to sasuke) "do you really want to know teme??" asked naruto. "sure why not" said sasuke while shrugging, all though inner sasuke was acting like sakura or ino would as they were about to find out about a secret no one else knew about. " well, about three yr.s into the academy I started training after it was over for the day at training ground 3, and in the middle of one those training sessions I felt a weird chakra" "did it have killer intent or something" interrupted sasuke who was still acting like he didn't care. "no. in fact it had the opposite type of feeling. It was encouraging almost loving, so ever since day around 2:30 I'll go and train there. That chakra it made me want to try harder, do more, be better and all that stuff. So I'd train until there was nothing left, at first I thought that maybe it was my father's chakra. As stupid as that sounds, it took me forever to figure out that it was a person watching me. It took me forever to figure out who that person was." 'I'll have to tell her about those dreams of our future when we get back to kohona' naruto said and thought while staring off at the sunset. "so who is she?" sasuke accidentally asked aloud . "that you'll never know." stated naruto as he hit the water with his hand effectively splashing sasuke. "dobe, if you do that again you'll die." said sasuke. "like you could beat m…." but before naruto could finish sentence a fist had collided with his face knocking him out and ironically waking him up.
:IN KYUUBI'S DEN:
"so kit did you enjoy the movie? Hehehe" asked the fox-teme himself. "you could say that. Now why am I here?" asked a rather sleepy naruto. "you just ran into a door because you were distracted by the dirty thoughts you were thinking about how Hinata ACTULLY looks. that's all." the kyuubi casually. "WHY DO I KEEP DOING THAT!?" yelled naruto. "oh so you admit to the dirty thoughts? hehehe" laughed the fox. "!,&,!" mumbled naruto under his breath. "ah such language what would Hinata think?" asked the kyuubi in a mock thinking pose. " uhhh… whatever." said naruto as he woke up from his unconsciousness to sakura shaking him violently, very much like tenten had done to lee in the chunnin exam's survival stage. "WAKE UP NARUTO YOU LAZY BAKA" yelled sakura. He decided to just lay there and get some sleep, so sakura gave up and took him to his apartment.
:AT NARUTO'S APARTMENT:
Once sasuke knew for sure naruto was asleep he decided to repay him for yelling in his good ear earlier that night. So he walked ever so slowly up to naruto's bed and leaned in just far enough to be able to whisper in his ear "naruto hurry wake up Hinata's in danger." barely louder than a pin drop but naruto was up with a kunai in both hands. "WHAT!!WHERE ??" he yelled repeatedly while turning around in circles on his bed for about 3 minutes straight. "SASUKE!!" was all naruto could say. "calm down baka, or do you not want to know what Kakashi found out about our ummm.. Predicament" said sasuke. "oh yeah what has our old friends been up to lately?" asked naruto completely forgetting about earlier. " well not a lot and that's what's making our two favorite perverts worried. So jiraiya has gone off to try and find out a few things, he supposedly won't be back for a while. However Kakashi told me that Tsunade-sama has a story for us to stick to with everyone else until further notice." answered sasuke. "yeah yeah the usual?" interrupted naruto while opening the door to outside. "yup. Oh and naruto . (yeah) go put some pants on." sasuke had a look of pure joy as he saw naruto's face redden and him disappear.
:IN TOWN:
"BOSS?! BOSS Hold on a second" yelled kohoanamaru. "sorry kohoanamaru I got to go see baa-chan about a mission" said naruto while jumping up through a window in the hokage's office. "oh naruto you're here. Good now we can start." tsunade said as she pointed a finger towards Kakashi and kurunai.(they put up a sound proof jutsu on the room) 20 minutes later……..
"WE HAVE TO DO WHAT?! Yelled naruto. "calm down naruto, its not as if we want you to faint again." sasuke sneaked in between words. "seriously naruto all you have to do is protect Hinata. In fact Kakashi said you might even enjoy this mission." tsunade leaned in to whisper.(naruto blushed slightly but just enough for the slug sannin to notice) 'maybe he's finally realizing he loved her.' "your team is to leave tomorrow at 5am don't be late" tsunade said as they were leaving. "hey Hinata can I speak to you for a minute?" asked naruto. "sure naruto-kun, But I have to leave soon or I will be late for supper " answered Hinata. 'whenever she calls me that it makes my spine crawl in the best way ever' "lets just go eat while we're talking" naruto thought/said. your such a chick'shut up demon' 'ahhso hostile I'm sure Hyuuga just loves that in a guy' 'her name is Hinata and don't talk about her like that' 'its not as if I'm the one that called her over here and then randomly started talking to a demon inside me she has no idea about' 'AGGHH I'm such an idiot' 'you'll find no argument about that here, oh but I wouldn't think about that just yet anyway she's still waiting' "naruto-kun are you okay?" asked Hinata talking to him like he had just been hit by 50 kunai in the back. "yah Hinata-chan I'm fine." said naruto finally returning from his argument with kyuubi. "ano naruto-kun didn't you have something to talk to me about?" asked Hinata while eating a few noodles. "yeah… are you sure your okay with this mission? I mean I would completely understand if you wanted someone else." naruto said a little hesitantly. "NO!! I mean of coarse not. Do you want to be on another mission its fine if you do I will just say to tsu" Hinata started to say only to be interrupted by naruto. "NO! I mean no I'm fine I just wanted to make sure you were okay. What we're supposed to do is going to be quite out of the normal mission type." "I'm fine with it as long as you don't care" Hinata stated while turning the noodles in her ramen bowl around with her chopstick. She looked up to find naruto staring strait into her eyes and they stayed like that for about 30 seconds. "ORDER UP" yelled a cheery ayame walking out to the front of the front of the ramen bar. Naruto and Hinata were both trying to hold back a blush and doing their best not to look into each others eyes. "let me walk you home" naruto said breaking the silence. "no you don't have to I've kept you out long enough." debated Hinata. " I insist. And I wouldn't get any sleep if I didn't know you got home safely." naruto said with a puppy dog face. " fine but you have to promise you'll go right to bed as soon as you get home." Hinata said knowing she couldn't say no to his face puppy dog or not. 'I just hope he isn't late tomorrow' (5:45 am at the front gates)
"WHERE THE HELL IS NARUTO?!" yelled sakura with steam coming out of her ears. "calm down sakura he'll be here later, he's inherited a few things from Kakashi and this is one of them." sasuke said fully knowing the reason why he was late. 'I just hope he gets here soon' thought Hinata. "yo" said the man in question. "NARUTO YOU ARE SO DEAD" sakura once again yelled out. "calm down already sakura. Lets get started shall we." said naruto backing away from sakura and slightly towards Hinata. "sure as long as you don't run into the door" sasuke teased. "whatever teme lets just go" and with that naruto and the other three turned around and walked out of kohona.
(Authors Notes)
Hello to all of my readers! I know I took forever on this one so I made it longer to hopefully make up for that. I also changed the last sentence in chapter 3. So this would be the first chapter in my story that naruto didn't end up on the ground. I have decided to make sasuke and sakura a couple in this fic so if that bugs you don't read. I Need a beta so pm me if you know someone or want to do it yourself. I have no idea when the next chapter will be up because I have an idea for another fic also naruhina. everyone please R&R.
