Last Time
"Hey Hinata I've just remembered something" said Naruto
Hinata stopped and turned to him
"W-w-w-what i-s-s-i-t" she stuttered.
"On the bridge at the land of waves you wanted to tell me something what was it?" asked Naruto.
Hinata's face turned as red as red could get
"Well…I…um…I…wanted…"
"Come on Hinata I told you before how is anyone gonna know what you want if you don't speak up?" said Naruto teasingly.
"W-w-w-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-I-I-I-I-l-l-l-o-o-o-v-v-v-e-e-e-y-y-y-o-u" said Hinata she then blushed furiously.
'He's going to hate me now' she thought as Naruto looked at her in shock
"You do?" he said in disbelief
All Hinata could do was nod at this point.
"Hinata" said Naruto
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you" she shouted
"What upset me how could you upset me with that do you know how long I've waited for someone to say that to me?" said Naruto.
"Naruto" said Hinata Naruto then walked over to her, he wasn't sure why he was doing it but it felt right, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Hinata felt stunned
'Naruto's kissing me, oh what do I do' she thought then it was as if it was automatically answered for her as she kissed him back.
After about five seconds they both released only to breath
"I'm sorry Hinata I shouldn't have done that" said Naruto
'Why do I feel this way towards her what is this feeling?' he thought.
"Its alright Naruto I'm not mad" she said with a smile on her face.
"Really" he asked this time she leaned in and kissed him, after anther five seconds they broke apart.
"I'll take that as a yes" said Naruto with a smile, she smiled back at him then they walked back to her house.
To find Hiashi waiting for Hinata the sight of the two of them holding hands made him smirk, then he put on the stern face look.
"Hinata what are you doing?" he asked as sternly as he could
"F-F-F-a-a-a-a-t-h-her-Naruto's j-j-just w-w-w-walking me home" said Hinata.
"It looks more like he's holding your hand to me" said Hiashi sternly again.
"I'm sorry sir it's just I really like your daughter and she likes me too" said Naruto pulling his hand away this caused Hiashi to give him a death glare.
"If I ever catch you so much as thinking of any other girl besides Hinata I'll break your neck" said Hiashi trading his stern look with a smile.
"You approve father" said Hinata without stuttering this surprised Hiashi the most
"Yes, I approve he's a good man and I know he'll protect you" said Hiashi Naruto then pulled Hinata towards him and kissed her full on the mouth again.
This caused Hinata to faint
"Uh Hinata we've really got to work on that" said Naruto wile Hiashi stood there leaning against a fence post laughing so hard tears fell from his eyes.
He then took Hinata inside and bade Naruto a goodnight Naruto nodded then went back to his apartment with only one thing on his mind.
'Someone love's me' he thought.
***
Hinata awoke the next morning to the sun filtering in threw her dark blue curtains she just had the most wonderful dream.
She dreamt that Naruto actually kissed her not once but three times, and that her father also approved of their union.
She sighed and got out of bed to find she was still wearing her normal cloths
'Must've been so tired I forgot to change' she thought.
As she grabbed a change of cloths and a bath towel and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
She came out of the bathroom fully dressed in her usual tight shin high blue pants with a black t-shirt with a fishnet shirt under that.
She walked out to her family training ground for her early morning training with her father.
She walked out to see her father waiting patiently for her to arrive
"So Hinata am I going to be able to keep your full attention?" asked Hiashi with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, father why?" asked Hinata
"Well I'd have thought you would have had your mind on your boyfriend" said Hiashi his smirk turned into a full fledged grin.
Hinata's face turned a brilliant shade of red
'It wasn't a dream' was her last thought before she fainted this caused Hiashi to laugh so hard that his tears fell from his face again.
***
Naruto awoke giving a loud yawn he felt great today he had just found out the night before that someone actually loved him.
But that was also something the confused him did he love her, he'd never known love and therefore didn't know how to love.
'I know who to ask' he thought he then dressed and hopped out the window to the village hot springs.
***
Hinata awoke to find, herself laying on the grass
"About time you woke up I thought you were going to sleep the morning away" said Hiashi.
Hinata darted straight up
"I'm sorry Father" said Hinata as a red tint grazed her cheeks
"You're forgiven Hinata now hurry along or you'll miss your training session with your sensei" said Hiashi.
Hinata nodded then took off towards team 8's training grounds leaving her smirking father behind her.
***
Naruto was hopping from roof top to roof top till he heard a loud yell coming from the hot springs.
'Sounds like he's been found out' thought Naruto shaking his head as he continued running until he saw Jiriaya.
Running from an angry mob of towel covered women, Naruto shook his head again then threw a smoke bomb in front of the girls then grabbed his Sensei.
Then returned to the roof top that he'd been previously
"Thanks Naruto that was a close one" said Jiriaya peeking over top the roof.
"You're welcome sensei, now I have a question" said Naruto
"What is it Naruto?" asked Jiriaya in an annoyed tone.
"What is love?" asked Naruto
This caught Jiriaya off guard
"Uh…well…um…Naruto…love is" said Jiriaya unable to think of something.
"Well love is something that people naturally feel for the people and animals they care about, it's a bond stronger than any. Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Tiejutsu" said Jiriaya.
"I don't understand" said Naruto with a confused look on his face
"Why the sudden interest?" asked Jiriaya.
"Well someone close to me told me they love me and well I kind of kissed her but I don't know if I love her or if its just some kind of Imation. As a child I grew up without knowing any other emotions accept anger, hate, fear, and some happiness I don't know anything else" said Naruto.
'What you must've gone through to turn you into what you are' thought Jiriaya then it hit him.
"Wait a minute you said you kissed a girl, so tell me Naruto who's the lucky lady?" asked Jiriaya nudging him in the arm.
Naruto gave him a demonic glare
"You're lucky you're my sensei, because if you were anyone else you wouldn't have that arm right now" said Naruto as Jiriaya stopped instantly.
"And to answer your question it's Hinata Hyuga" said Naruto now looking towards the forest.
Jiriaya sighed
"Naruto there isn't anything that I can tell you that will explain the emotion of love, because honestly I myself don't know anymore than you" said Jiriaya.
"Well thanks anyway Sensei oh and I have a request" said Naruto
"Name it" said Jiriaya as Naruto raised his shirt.
"When I was inside the forest of death I ran into a man that called himself Orochimaru he placed some sort of seal on top of the Death Reaper Seal" said Naruto drawing some of his chakra showing the two seals.
"Interesting" said Jiriaya placing his hand on Naruto's stomach
"An odd seal over an even seal, it's amazing you're able to draw any chakra at all" said Jiriaya.
"Can you remove it?" asked Naruto
"Just hold still for a second" said Jiriaya as his fingers glowed a bright blue then he thrust it into his stomach.
"Five Pronged Elemental Seal Release" said Jiriaya as Naruto gasped for air as the release Jutsu undid the seal.
Naruto then felt the fox's power return to him as his connection was restored with the fox Naruto allowed the chakra to flow through him.
Then he sent it back to the seal
"Thank you Sensei" said Naruto bowing to Jiriaya
"Now then if you'll excuse me I've got research to do" said Jiriaya as he headed back to the hot springs.
Naruto smirked as he took off towards the forest to train for his upcoming match against who ever fate decided.
***
Hinata and Kiba waited patiently for Kakashi sensei to arrive, well Hinata did anyway
"Ah where is he?" yelled Kiba pacing up and down the small bridge.
Suddenly their vision was clouded by a puff of smoke as Kakashi sensei appeared from nowhere.
"Ah good afternoon guys" said Kakashi with a smile
"You're late" growled Kiba Akamaru who had been lying on the bridge gave a yawn as his greetings.
"Yeah I had a few things to take care of" said Kakashi
"Well what are we doing today?" asked Kiba.
"You are going to be practicing your chakra control Kiba, and you Hinata will be continuing your training with the Chidori" said Kakashi.
Hinata nodded then began to perform the hand signs then she gathered her chakra in her hand it started to chirp.
As it build in her hand unbeknowneced to them a pair of red eyes each with a single tomo was watching their training.
***
It's been a week since Naruto had the seal removed he was now heading towards the Ninja Training Gym.
Inside was a raised platform with two winding stair cases it was large enough to find an entire cathedral comfortably.
A statue carved into the shape of two hands that formed the tiger hand sign above them in the wall behind them was a large screen.
Naruto joined the group of Shinobi that had made it passed the second exams these included.
Team 7, Team 8, Team 9, and Kakashi's rivals team that called themselves Team Guy, this team consisted of.
A boy with eyebrows as thick as caterpillars wearing a green jumpsuit with his headband around his waist his hear was cut into that of a bowl.
The female ninja of the team wore a tight pink sleeveless shirt with a pair of loose fitting green sweat pants.
The third and final member of this team was the boy that Naruto had seen the only time he'd had breakfast with the Hyuga's.
His eye's were pail white his hair was as down to the length of his shoulders he wore a loose tan colored t-shirt with blue colored shorts.
The rest of the Genin consisted of a team from the Village Hidden in the Sound and a team of ninja from the Village Hidden in the Grass.
"Welcome all of you to the preliminary round of the Chunin Exams once you leave here if you win you will be able to fight in.
The Semi-final Rounds in a months time, now then if you will please direct your attention to the screen you're names will.
Be picked at random and you will then come down here and fight" said the Third Hokage from the platform.
There was a puff of smoke and a Jounin appeared
"I'll be your referee" said the ninja as everyone directed their attention to the scoreboard.
Kiba Inuzuka
VS
Kankuro
Kiba smirked as Akamaru popped out from beneath his coat
"Ready boy" he whispered getting a small bark from the ninja-hound.
Then the dog jumped out from within his jacket wile everyone headed up the stairs except for Kankuro.
He then pulled something that was wrapped up from behind his back then in a poof of smoke it turned into a puppet.
"Well what do yah say we get this party started" said Kiba to the Jounin the man nodded
"Begin!" he shouted then jumped out of the way.
"Kiba, if you don't make it to the finals I'm gonna kill you" said Naruto with a smirk on his face.
This caused both Kiba and Akamaru to gulp
"Hmm sounds like you're teammate is nearly as blood thirsty as Gaara" said Kankuro
"You've got no idea" said Kiba as Akamaru jumped in front of him.
Akamaru then changed into an exact clone of Kiba then they both spun at Kankuro's puppet causing it to shatter in an instant.
"What that's impossible" said Kankuro
"Not for us" said Kiba as he and Akamaru prepared to attack again.
Kankuro raised his arm
"I forfeit" he said to the referee who nodded
"Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru win" said the Jounin.
The two Genin nodded to each other then took their positions with their teammates as two more names popped up on the screen.
Rock Lee
V
Sasuke Uchiha
The boy dressed in the green jumpsuit jumped from the platform as did Sasuke they both took their respective fighting stances.
"And begin" said the Jounin as he jumped back to the platform
Sasuke activated his Sharingan as his eyes turned red with a single tomo on each eye.
Then both boys disappeared from the view of those who either weren't Hokage or hand never seen Naruto fight in his Kyuubi shroud.
To them both fighters appeared to move at normal speeds Sasuke and Lee exchanged a barrage of kicks and punches.
None of which did any real damage until Lee kicked Sasuke in the jaw sending him rocketing skyward. Then Lee jumped up with him his bandages that covered his hands became undone and wrapped around Sasuke.
Then he crossed his feet around Sasuke's face as they dive-bombed to the ground in a spiral motion.
There was a huge explosion as the floor now had a great hole in it once the dust settled Lee stood next to an unconscious Sasuke.
"Nice" said Naruto beside Hinata
Next names on the board were
A ninja from the Grass and a ninja from the Sound, the match was one of the shorter matches at the Sound ninja destroyed his opponents eardrums.
The next match
Hinata Hyuga
V
Neji Hyuga
"Oh no" whispered Hinata
Naruto looked at her with a confused look
"What's the problem Hinata you're stronger than he is just go out there and mop the floor with him" said Naruto.
Hinata looked at Naruto with surprise
'He's giving me encouragement' she thought
She then hopped down from the platform as did Neji.
"You might as well surrender now there is no way you can possibly win" said Neji what ever confidence Hinata had vanished.
Her gaze fell to the floor
'Oh no' thought Kakashi
"B-b-but-b-brother…" said Hinata
"He's her brother" said Kiba
"Not really he's been around her so much that she considers him her brother, when actually he's her cousin" said Kakashi.
"That's slightly disturbing" said Kiba turning his attention back to the fight
"You may begin" said the Jounin.
"Hinata do it" said Neji firmly as Hinata started to raise her hand
"Hinata, don't listen to him" said Naruto.
Hinata stared at Naruto with a surprised look
'He's doing it again' she thought as excitement rose through her.
She then turned to her cousin
"Neji I will not back down" she said taking her fighting stance wile Neji took the same stance.
Then they began to slap at each other but the sounds of heaving hits echoed throughout the room.
"Sensei what are they doing it looks like they're just slapping each other" said Kiba
"Neji and Hinata are using the Hyuga style of fighting called the Gentle Fist what appears to be just simple slaps are actually quite painful to their opponent because.
The Gentle Fist Style teaches the users to force chakra from their body and into the body of the opponent.
Thus causing more internal harm than external" said Kakashi
Naruto's eyes widened
"Hinata get out of there!" he shouted Naruto causing Kakashi and Kiba to shift their attention back to the fight.
They looked to see Hinata kneeling on the ground
"Ref, call the match!" shouted Naruto as Hinata staggered to her feet.
"Hinata forfeit before you're killed" said Naruto again
"No, Naruto I will fight him and I will win" said Hinata.
"Hinata, listen to me you've got nothing left to prove you've already showed you're strong by standing up to him" said Kiba.
Hinata turned to Kiba and glared at him
"Well I'll be it looks like she's finally grown a spine" said Naruto with a grin.
Suddenly she fell flat on her face as she coughed up blood Naruto jumped from the platform.
He walked over to her lifeless body and knelt beside her as a small puddle of her blood reflected his face.
He then looked up at Neji his eyes glowed fiery red as a wave of fury welled up inside him
"Neji was it, I'm going to let you know when we meet in our next fight I will kill you" said Naruto.
As he started to perform a set of hand signs then he placed his palms over Hinata then a green chakra emanated from his hands.
As he healed her
"Neji wins" called the Jounin
As a medical team walked into the room to take Hinata away
"She was weak she deserved what she got" said Neji.
This caused a wave of dark energy to hit him like a ton of bricks he turned to see Naruto's body covered in a One-Tailed fox shroud.
His eyes were blood red his pupils were vertical slits his whisker marks were thicker his fingernails lengthened to claws.
"I take back what I said I'll just kill you now" said Naruto in a growl like tone as he advance upon his prey.
He stood as still as a statue as if he were paralyzed
'What is he' thought Neji as he still had Byakugan activated.
He could see the face of the Nine-Tailed Fox within Naruto's chakra coils
"What are you" said Neji.
Naruto's fanged lips curled into a smile
"Wouldn't you like to know" he said as he ran towards Neji his clawed fist poised to knock his head from his shoulders.
When he was stopped by Kakashi and Guy grabbing him by the legs and arms
"You two have got three seconds to release me or I'll kill the both of you" said Naruto in a growl like tone.
"Naruto this isn't the time for this you're up next" said Kakashi nodding to the board
Naruto Uzumaki
V
TenTen
Naruto pulled himself free then walked to the center of the gym his fox chakra tail swished with anticipation.
Kakashi was now once again standing beside Kiba
"I pity her she's not going to last to long against Naruto especially since he's ticked off" said Kiba nearly laughing.
"That's not too amusing Kiba, Naruto's more likely to kill now that he's enraged" said Kakashi.
"Nah she's a Konoha Ninja Naruto wouldn't do that" said Kiba
"Wouldn't he?" asked Kakashi.
Kiba's face showed uncertainty
"Begin" said the Jounin as the girl from team Guy pulled out a small scroll
"I'm sorry but I don't have time to play so I'm just going to finish this" said Naruto.
He then disappeared from view
'Incredible he's got that much control over the Kyuubi's chakra' thought the Third.
Naruto reappeared behind the TenTen, who jumped forwards to dodge Naruto's attack only to find he hadn't made any attack.
Naruto's mind was racing with the thought that Hinata might die and it was all his fault
'I shouldn't have told her to fight him' he thought as the fox's shroud began to dissipate
"Hey if you're not going to fight then I'll finish this" said TenTen.
She then unrolled her scroll then jumped into the air she applied chakra to the scroll as she spun in the air causing weapons of all kinds and makes to strike Naruto.
Naruto left out a mighty roar that caused the weapons to fall uselessly to the ground then Naruto jumped at the weapons mistress.
Then punched her in the head causing it to leave her body both fell to the ground with a sickening thud.
Her skull cracked causing blood within it to pour onto the floor wile a larger puddle flowed from her lifeless corpse.
Naruto then turned to the shinobi before him
"Harm one of mine and I kill one of yours" he growled as several of the girls started to dry-heave from what they just saw.
"He's a monster!" shouted a Grass ninja
Naruto turned to him with a smirk
"That my friend was only a fraction of my power if you want to see a real monster then keep pushing me" said Kyuubi-Naruto.
'He's another Gaara' thought Kankuro as Naruto ran out the doors for what reason he was unsure.
***
Naruto ran as fast as he could to the hospital where he found Hinata had just arrived and was being prepped for emergency healing.
"Where is she" asked Kyuubi-Naruto to the receptionist filing her nails
"Uh where is whom?" asked the lady
"Hinata Hyuga" said Kyuubi- Naruto
"Sorry but you're not next of kin and I wouldn't let a filthy demon like you anywhere near her" said the woman cruelly.
This caused Naruto's anger to explode as his shroud took on two more tails then in a single swipe he obliterated her desk.
"You've got exactly two seconds to tell me where she is before you end up like your desk" said Kyuubi-Naruto as his shroud exploded with a red fury.
The woman's face became chalk white
"Second floor, room 212" said the woman then Naruto swiped at her causing her to turn into a pile of ribbons of flesh.
He snickered as he made his way to the room he was told of there he saw Hinata resting comfortably, he then.
Placed his shroud covered palms above her as the fox's chakra started to heal her internal organs he could feel her racing heart beat.
Begin to slow down until it was slow and steady, her wounds now fully healed Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and sat in chair beside her bed and allowed sleep to take him.
A/N I'm really sorry to those who wanted a Neji/TenTen Pairing
