Back at the land of fire later that night ,Ino ,Sakura,and Hinata later finish shopping ,and have lunch for free, because they are with the Hokage's first lady of course ,Ino ordered her husbands favorite meal barbecue ,Sakura ordered diet dumplings with soy milk to keep her sexy figure, and Hinata ordered more that that ,she ordered a big juicy steak with strawberries on top ,a baked potato with strawberry sauce and butter, and for desert a strawberry filled burrito with nothing but strawberry based filling ,and actual ones.

"Hinata were worried about you ,we think you've had enough too much strawberries already" Sakura said in a concerned voice ,Ino agreed to this, and said "yeah if you eat too much strawberries ,you'll bust out into them, maybe you should cut down on them ,your stomach looks like it cant take anymore."

But as she was about to take away Hinata's meal ,Hinata firmly grabs Ino's hand ,and tosses her aside aggressively ,Sakura who saw this tried to stand up to Ino, by saying to Hinata "hey you ,what gives you the right to cast her aside, after all thi-" before she could finish, Hinata tossed her aside too, and said to them "now you two listen up ,because I'm only going to say this once ,do not tell me what to do, when it comes to strawberries, I'm eating just fine"this shocked her two BF's.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know any better, please forgive me" Hinata then says later ,Ino and Sakura forgive her though ,as Hinata says "I mean if you wanted my food so badly ,all you had to do was ask" sharing her strawberry burrito, Ino accepts it and eats it replying "hey ,this doesn't taste so bad yum."

Meanwhile back at the land of snow, we now see the whole crew have packed up their things ,ready to go back to the leaf ,Midori however wanted to say goodbye to everyone in the snow village before leaving,Choji then came up to her before they left ,and he said to her "thanks for what you did back there, but I dont know how I can repay you ,wait maybe I do" he says searching around in his bag.

He then gave her the last bag of chips he had ,and said "I know how much you like these, so I decided to give these to you ,as a token of my gratitude" with his teeth clenched together,not really wanting to give up his last bag of chips, but he did so anyways, knowing that he owed Midori big time ,for saving the crews life "thank you Mr Choji" Midori said taking the chips,"dont mention it ,(goodbye forever my darlings)"Choji answered in a teary voice.

After saying goodbye to the land of snow ,the crew with a tied up Sasuke in a strait jacket being dragged behind , wanted Koyuki offered to take them back to the leaf on her vehicle ,but she noticed that Sasuke before the battle started, destroyed them blocking of any cowards chance of escaping ,Naruto however wasn't going to accept the fact that he has to stay in the land of snow ,and wait around for them to rebuild a new one.

He stated"there's no way I'm staying here ,I dont care if I'm going to have to walk back to the leaf village ,carrying my little girl, I made a promise and I intend to keep it ,no matter if I catch a cold ,or get cold feet ,I'm not gonna break my promise to Hinata" with a serious face.

Shikamaru then tried to convince him to stay and wait ,by saying" Naruto dont be a drag ,you'll never make it back alive ,what if a snow storm comes and you cant see where your going ,or if a tree falls on you breaking your legs" ,this did not stop Naruto either.

Instead Naruto replied"you call yourself a leaf ninja wimp ,we've handled worse in the past ,so sure if something happens to one of my legs ,Ill limp home carrying Midori in my arms ,if both my legs wont respond Ill walk on my hands ,and carry her with my teeth, if they stop working Ill hop home and carry her on my jacket, if I cant see where I'm going Ill count on my sense of hearing ,if I go deaf Ill smell my way home ,because I have a promise I mean to keep ,and I'm not gonna break it ,no matter what I will keep that promise ,and dont try to stop me."

He then storms off on his own ,until Kiba stands up to him ,and says "hey Naruto ,how are you gonna smell your way home without me by your side ,I'm coming with you as your sense of smell,lord Hokage" with a smile, following them making Midori very happy to see Kiba join in ,"besides if you leave with the kid ,Akamaru wont have anyone to play with "Kiba stated, which was true as we see Midori getting licked by him.

Neji then joins them, saying "Lord Hokage I'm not going to leave you and Kiba go off alone with my niece, I shall go along as your bodyguard ,to make sure you and Midori are out of harms way, with my Byakugan to search for hidden enemies" ,also with a smile on his face ,Choji this time with a basket of food the land gave him, caught up with them ,and said "hey you three wouldn't last 5 days out there without food, you'll starve ,Ill come too as your human food supply ,so you wont starve"with a grin of kindness on his face.

Shikamaru however still stayed ,with a serious face saying "well I'm not going anywhere ,you guys have totally lost it ",Naruto began to argue with him ,saying" hey dont be crazy ,you have a good memory on every path that leads to the hidden leaf, even the shortcuts" hearing this ,Shikamaru replied "I dont care, I still say we wait till they vehicles are rebuilt."

Naruto then yelled at him saying "and as the Hokage I say we travel on foot ,or I carry you on foot ,your pick" Shikamaru was given no other choice, but to do as he says "fine Ill come too ,you do need brain power " joining the rest, as Naruto replies "Alright ,lets go back to the leaf village everyone" leaving the land of snow ,as they do Toke looks back at them, and says "well always be grateful to you ,lord Hokage especially how you helped us so long."

Back with the girls ,Sakura ,Ino ,and Hinata went to a bar for drinks ,but Hinata however was forbidden to drink any alcoholic beverage ,since shes pregnant, so she settled for strawberry juice instead ,the three where drinking and talking for another hour ,and then some real fun started to happen,when Ino and Sakura got drunk.

It all started when Ino whose a little bit drunk ,noticed a hot ninja male ,with a six pack body, she went up to him ,and said" hey gorgeous ,this seat taken " it started out with the two talking ,then Ino went off the edge, by revealing part of her breasts, saying "I bet you your hungry big fella, cause I got me some nice creamy milk in these two coconuts, wanna taste" causing the guy to reply"I'm married, back off bitch" causing Ino to whimper back to her friends.

Sakura who was completely drunk on the other hand, revealed all her breasts to allot of perverts, yelling out "take a good look boys ,cause I'm single!" Hinata began to blush in embarrasment after seeing this ,the bartender then asked her "you want me to kick these two out for you lady Hokage?","No they're with me, we where planning to leave anyways "Hinata says ,getting up from her seat ,she then dragged the two drunkies ,and dragged them out of the bar ,and into the car.

The week was now over ,and later one night Hinata then took Ino and Sakura home to bed ,to get rest ,she then went home unlocked her door ,closed it again, and said to herself" if that was to make me cheer up, and forget about Naruto ,forget it ,I've made up my mind, I'm never leaving the safety of my home again ,at least not without Naruto" in a worried tone.

Uh Oh after all that she wont ever leave her home again Naruto better hurry lets hope he does make it in the next chapter and in the meantime please review this one
