Summary: Alternate seires of events set after the Sasuke/Naruto fight at the Valley of the end - If Naruto won.
Disclamer: I do not own Naruto, or anything else of value. It is not worth mugging me.
Chapter 9 - Dark Secrets
- - - Naruto's POV - - -
Today was a good day. Why? I got free ramen ! Ino wanted to talk to me about somthing . . .I invited Sasuke along, just so she couldn't trick me into haveing another date with her.
"Soo . .. Naruto-kun, I hear you didn't tell her"
Huh?
"Tell who what, Ino-chan?"
"Tell Sakura about furball"
IF ONE MORE PERSON CALLS ME THAT . . . .
" . . .hnn, Furball IS a kinda big secret to keep, Dobe"
LET ME KILL HIM
no
PLEASE
at least their not Nibi, right Kyu-kyu?
YOU WOULDN'T
wouldn't I?
I'LL BE GOOD
I laughed out loud at that . . . .earning quizical looks from my friends
"Furball got angry at his new name, so I frightened him into obediance . . ."
"You can do that?"
"Yup, I got some good blackmail material after my date with Ino-chan."
"You should still tell Sakura about Ky-"
"And YOU should tell Hinata-chan"
Sasuke's face paled.
"She told you"
"She told us both, Sasuke-kun"
If only I had a camera, the look on his face was priceless . . .then he mumbled somthing that shocked us both.
"I did tell her, yesterday, after my visit to Sakura's"
cue Ino, gossip queen . . .
"what happened"
you could almost see her plans to tell the world in her eyes . . . .slightly creepy . . . also, slightly hot . . .
"well . . ."
- - - flashback, Saske's POV - - -
knockknock
"H-he-hello"
She's so cute when she stutters . . .
"Umm . .. Hey, Hinata-chan"
"H-hello, Sasuke-san"
"Erm . . .H-hinata-chan?"
"What is it?"
"I really like you."
"Th-thank you, Sasuke-san, bu-"
"I mean, mabye we could be friends or somthing?"
"Ok, Sasuke-san . . ."
"Well, I was kinda hoping we could . . erm . .you know . be . .um . . more than just friends?"
"S-sasuke-san! I-I'm sorry but . . .you . . .your . . ."
"I know I'm not Naruto, but please, can I just have a chance?"
"I-I'm sorry Sasuke-san"
"Ok . . .well, the offers there if you change your mind, Hinata-hime"
she blushed a deep crimson . . though if it was the dobe that called her that, I KNOW she'd have fainted . . .
"Ok, then, Sasuke-san, we're friends, nothing more"
"please, just call me Sasuke, Ok, Amai-hime"
she fainted . . .
"Oops . . ."
- - - end flashback, back to Naruto's POV - - -
WOW . . .he really likes her . . .never thought he'd call her that though . . .I was cut out of my musings when I saw something pink go past . . .
"SAKURA-CHAN!!! WANT SOME RAMEN"
she turned and smiled at me, then she scowled at Sasuke, and looked to Ino-chan with a look that seemed to ask something . . .
"Hey, Naruto-kun, Ino-chan, Asshole-baka"
the three of us just sweatdropped at her greeting . . .
"Sakura-chan . . .we need to talk . . .its something Ino-chan and Sasuke already know . . . "
"What is it?"
"Well . . "I explainded to her about Kyuubi, including the fact that his ex wife is Nibi (2-tails biju) and had the best chakra control of all the biju, and as such could match him in a fight, so I threatened to summon her into my mindscape whenever he pissed me off . . . .I found out about Nibi during Sakura-chan and Sasuke's 2nd date, when they were telling Ino-chan that they were together . . .
"WOW . . .she knew this before she fell for you"
Sakura-chan was pointing at Ino-chan, so it was obvious who she was talking about.
"Yup, if you don't want him now, then thats OK, I'll just have him all to myself . . ."
"This doesn't change anything Ino-pig . . .well . . .I like him a bit more now, after all he's gone through"
Thats about when I started to cry. I was so glad there were 3 more people who accepted me as me, even after being told about Kyuubi . . .
- - - 1 month before training, Hinata's POV - - -
I . . .I can't beleive Naruto-kun went on dates with Ino-chan and Sakura-chan . . . mabye he'd even think about dating me . . .but then . . .I might be to weak for him . . .
"Heey! Hinata-chan, how are you"
Its him!!!
"Ah! N-n-narut-to-kun"
"Gomen, Hinata-chan"
Why is he apologising?
"N-naruto-kun?"
"Sakura-chan and Ino-chan told me you liked me . . "
So . . . . this is it . . .I AM too weak . . .
"Oh. . .I . . .I'm sorry, Naruto-kun . . .I . . I just . ..its . . .well. . . .I really like you and . . ."
"Thats why I apologised, Hinaya-chan, I think of you as the sister I never had, so . .. hehe . . . .we're still friends, right"
Sister? Then its not because I'm weak and usless, like my father said? So . . he does like me . . .just not like that . . .
"O-of course, Naruto-kun!"
"You really are one of my best friends ever, Hinata-chan, along with Sasuke Sakura-chan, Ino-chan and Gaara . . . "
I-I'm one of Naruto-kun's best friends!!? T-that must mean that he cares about me . . .a lot . . .
"Um . .Hinata-chan? Ah crap, she fainted again. . "
Mabye I should take Sasuke-san up on his offer, even if it is just to try and get over my feelings for Naruto-kun . . .
- - - Ino's POV - - -
I can't believe Naruto-kun didn't just say 'yes' to our offer . . .but, at least he's thinking about it . . . .
"Ino-pig"
"What is it, Forhead?"
"HEY, you said you wouldn't call me that anymore, now that . . ."
"And you said you wouldn't call me pig!"
"EH . ..hehe . . old habits die hard?"
"Grrrr . . ."
"Ok, OK I'm sorry, better now, Ino-pi . . .Ino."
"Much, Sakura."
- - - Naruto's POV - - -
"So Hina-hime knows you only think of her as a sister?"
"Yep."
"Hello, Kyuubi, Brother, long time no see . . . "
Sasuke charged a Chidori, Sharingan active . . .
"Itachiiii"
Itachi dodged the strike, and Sasuke felt his power sap as Kisame used his blade to block, sucking in his chakra . . .
"Weasel, Fish-face . . .you back so soon?"
"DON'T CALL ME FISH-FACE!!!"
"Sorry, Fish-face, I won't call you Fish-face anymore, OK, Fish-face?"
"Damn brat . . ."
"Kisame, you do know your scream probably informed some nearby shinobi that we were here, right?"
"OH, THE UNYOUTHFUL AKATSUKI HAVE RETURNED TO ATTACK MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS MOST YOUTHFUL RIVAL !
BEWARE, AS I, KONOHA'S BEAUTIFUL GREEN BEAST SHALL SHOW YOU THE ERRORS IN YOUR UNYOUTHFUL WAYS WITH THE AMAZING
POWER OF THE SHINING FLAMES OF MY YOUTHFUL YOUTHFULNESS!!!"
"Uzumaki, Uchiha . . need any help?"
"Thanks Neji. . .err . . you too Lee, Gai"
"THOSE HIP AND COOL ATTITUDES REMIND ME OF MY EVER YOUTHFUL ETERNAL RIVAL KAKA-"Kisame attacked Gai before he had a chance to finish his . . .erm . . .'youthful' . . . speech, but Gai blocked the sword with his wrist weights, preventing the great blade from draining his chakra
. . .unfortunatly, the weights shattered on contact, and both Kisame and Gai were struck with fragments of broken weight . . . Kisame lost all use of his left arm, and a fragment became loged into the
front of Gai's throat. Kisame jumped back, to exit the battle while he attempted to remove the metal from his arm. To guard him, Itachi stepped forward, He used Tsukomi, I was lucky enough to avoid eye contact,
and Sasuke already had his Sharingan active, greatly weakening the genjutsu's effect on him . . . I heard Anko and Ibiki aproching, followed closely by Kakashi, Sakura and Ten-Ten.
"Until we meet again, Kyuubi, brother . . "
The members of Akatsuki left, just as the others turned up.
"Itachi . . .I WILL kill you . . . "
Kakashi looked slightly pale and spoke . .
"I guess that was Akatsuki again"
I nodded
"Lets go see Tsunade-baa-chan"
- - - 10 minutes later, Hokage's Office - - -
"Shizune . . .what do you mean she's not here . . ."
"Well, Anko-san, she said there were no nice gambling places in Konoha, so I should look after the place while she goes to 'the best place in the world' . . ."
"I know where her favorite casino is . . ."
"Ehh? Naruto? How do you know?"
"Simple, Sakura-chan, Jaraia told me . . .Shizune, I know your a good med-nin, but I know that the only person who can repair the damage caused by Itachi is Baa-chan, so I want to lead a mission to bring her back."
"OK, Naruto-kun, who do you want to take?"
"Well, we'll need about an hour to get ready, and Sasuke should have recovered by then, due to the strenth of his Sharingan and the fact he had it active, so I'll make a clone to pack for him . . . In all, I want Sakura-chan, Ino-chan, Hinata-chan and Sasuke for this mission, as Sakura-chan and Ino-chan want to convince her to teach them her monsterous strength, and both the Sharingan and Byakkugan would be useful in locating her. Before you ask why I chose Hinata over other Hyuuga's, it is because I believe she is the 2nd strongest Hyuuga, regardless of the fact she lets her sister win their fights, and she is also the Hyuuga I trust the most."
"Very well . .. I take it Neji is the strongest."
"Yes, but not by much . . ."
- - - Hinata's POV - - -
I know that evesdropping is a bad habit, but it was Naruto-kun, and Neji-nii-san is in trouble, so . . .
"Simple, Sakura-chan, Jaraia told me . . .Shizune, I know your a good med-nin, but I know that the only person who can repair the damage caused by Itachi is Baa-chan, so I want to lead a mission to bring her back."
"OK, Naruto-kun, who do you want to take?"

Naruto-kun . . .trusts me? . . .He thinks I'm strong? . . .
"Very well . .. I take it Neji is the strongest."
"Yes, but not by much . . "
Wait . . .Naruto-kun thinks I'm almost as strong as Neji-nii-san?
