Chapter 2, the mission begins

Changing from Naruto to Hinata's point of view, and vice versa

Sorry for the wait everybody. I wasn't intending to update this story, but now that I see a lot of people like it, I'll update. I have up to chapter 13 written, so relax, I'll try to get them up in 1 or two weeks.

With Naruto

Hinata was on my left as we approached the main gate. Gaara, Lee and Sasuke were waiting for us, with the architect. "Right on time, we are." The fox said.

"I am Sirentro. Are you Naruto, The Red Fox ?" The architect said this. I grinned. When you become a Juunin, your unique powers are evaluated and you are given a title. My title is The Red Fox.

"That's me, believe it! We'll be your bodyguards on your trip home. Are you all ready to go?" "We are all ready Naruto, we were waiting for you." Gaara said this. "Sorry for the wait. Let's get going!" We went through the gate.

The Island of Lightning is 500 miles away, and then another 100 miles across an ocean. The distance and the ninja after Sirentro are what made this an A ranked mission.

"By my calculations it will take 20 days to get to the ocean, and then another 4 days to cross the ocean." Lee said this. "Have you guys introduced yourselves to Sirentro yet?" I asked this.

"Yes." Sasuke said this. "I'm Hinata Hyuga, nice to meet you." She said this in a low voice. It seemed like the day went by fast. The sun began setting.

"We better make camp. I see a clearing up ahead." We soon go to the clearing. "Shall I scatter my sand?" Gaara asked this. He had gained the power of a new skill. If he surrounded an area with sand and added some chakra, we had a very powerful protective barrier.

"Do it." He did. We quickly had set up our two man tents in a triangle formation, and I set up a one man tent in the middle. "The middle tent is yours Sirentro." He went in. "Hinata and I will take the first watch. Lee and Sasuke will take the next one. I doubt Gaara's barrier will be broken through, but there's always a chance."

Sasuke and Lee entered a tent. "What should I do?" Gaara asked. "Activate the barrier and turn in. You'll know if it's been hit." He nodded and went to sleep in his tent, leaving me and Hinata alone. We sat and began watching the barrier. I conjured a black rose and gave it to her with another card from her secret admirer. "I found this at the gate before we left." She read the card.

I read the card and finally recognized the hand writing. It was Naruto's. It was almost too hard to believe. "Naruto. Are you my secret admirer?" He blushed and looked at me with dark eyes. "Yes. I think you're beautiful Hinata. When we get to the Island of Lightning, do you want to get some ramen?"

I almost couldn't contain myself as I answered. "Yes, I would love to get ramen with you Naruto." He leaned over and kissed my on my lips softly. That's when they attacked.

I had finally kissed Hinata and was enjoying the moment when they attacked. There was an earthquake as Gaara's barrier was hit and destroyed. He ran out of his tent. "Naruto!" "I know! Get Sasuke and Lee NOW!"

He came out 2 minutes later with them. "Hinata, Lee and Sasuke guard the architect. Gaara and I will fight them." They obeyed, and Gaara came to stand next to me. Finally we saw them. There were 3 of them, enough for Gaara and me to handle. "Hand over the architect and nobody gets hurt!"

I responded to that by using my ninja centerfold tecnique. My new female form is as beautiful as a goddess. "You wouldn't hurt a lady, would you?" They almost collapsed from looking at me. What wimps! Gaara sent a jolt of lightning at them. They barely dodged it. I heard 1 of the guys say to the other 2 "When this is over, want to kidnap the girl?" They nodded. I hurriedly changed back.

"This means war Gaara. Let's get them!" We charged forward. They used fire jutsu on us. I grabbed Gaara and disolved into the darkness. We reappeared behind them and grabbed two of them. The other guy noticed immediatly.

"If you want them to live, then you will leave now." He vanished into the air with a flash. I wasn't fooled. I reached out to my right and grabbed him, shattering the illusion.

"How did you know?" "You'll never touch the Red Fox." He looked shocked out of his mind. I turned my right hand into a dagger and plunged it into his heart, killing him. The other two tried to escape. Gaara killed one with his "Sand Coffin". The other one was pinned to a tree by me. He summoned a giant living tree to his defense.

"Ha ha ha! Try beating me now!" I sighed and summoned Gama Bunta. "Where's the fight Naruto?" I pointed to the tree. "Oh. No problem." Using his tongue he grabbed the tree, and pulled it from the ground.

I jumped and sent a fire ball at the ninja. Because he was falling, he had no chance to dodge it. I landed on Gama Bunta as he started to jump onto the tree.

I saw Naruto and Gaara take the ninja's down like it was nothing. I saw Naruto get blood mad when the enemy said they wanted to kidnap me. After killing them he walked towards me, and pulled me in for a hug, not that I minded. He also placed a kiss on me. I placed my arm around him.

When he released me I heard Lee and Sasuke say "It's about time! Naruto. for someone who is named "The Red Fox" you are way too shy." He grinned. Later that night, before I slept, Naruto poked his head in and promised to protect me always.
