Hello everyone, just here to say a couple words before the chapter. I am annoyed I still get reviews on chapter 1 about first person even though I put something in bold to say to ignore it as it would never appear again unless I actually need first person. Oh well, I'll just keep ignoring it.

I put out a new story called Seihime. I put it out late at night so it was most likely not the best time for it lol. it's a FemNaruto fan fiction about Naruto failing enough to give up at a young age. So she decides to go to the civilian school and becomes the student council president. Of course, nothing ever goes right or how she wants it. So if you want to go check it out, I'm always looking to see what people think of it.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter. During writing: Mwahaha, I just realized what I could do with a Hinata paring if I get far enough into Shippūden.

Flash God Naruto

Chapter 6

Day before Chunin Exams Finals

Hinata was not in the best of moods considering what she has seen. She wanted to meet with Naruto alone and ask him not to think badly of Neji as well as to not hurt him to badly. She believed Naruto could beat him but he was still her cousin. She also didn't want what happened to her to happen to Naruto.

She had finally been released from the hospital and told to keep it easy for a while which meant no training. So instead of doing nothing, she sought out Naruto to talk to him about the fight tomorrow. Of course, what she found when she found him was not reassuring.

Naruto was hanging around the last person Hinata felt he should be around. Of course, the two of them were arguing like always but the two were still hanging out. It didn't sit well with Hinata even if they were teammates but Sayuri was not someone she liked. Sayuri hurt Naruto a lot with the way she acted around him and talked to him.

Even with that, Naruto still tried to be around her and talk to her. He even seemed somewhat happy at that even if it looked like they were fighting. It annoyed her and while she wanted Naruto to be happy with any he ends up with though she wishes it to be her.

That however did not mean she would let Sayuri have him. All she did was hurt him in there talks, was cold to everyone including him and the way she took things was not the best in terms of mind set. Someone like that would not make Naruto happy whatsoever.

"Huh? Oh hey Hinata. How are you feeling?" Naruto asked as he noticed her looking in their direction and Hinata's face ignited. All thought of the two being near each other seemed to leave her mind. All that was left was her saying that Naruto was talking to her.

"I'm… I'm fine Naruto-kun." Hinata stuttered out with a low tone and Sayuri rolled her eyes. It was easy to guess that she was more shocked that Naruto still hadn't figured out Hinata's feelings than being annoyed with how Hinata was around him.

"Oh that's good. You had me worried there. I still cant believe that the bastard would do that to someone in his own family." Naruto said with anger in his voice at the thought of someone abusing someone in their family. It just didn't sit right with him.

It was obvious to see that Naruto would hold family high up on things he holds dear even if he didn't have any. Its because of that, that he thought highly of it. To him, family was something you should cherish even if there were problems. That you should never intentionally hurt people in your family no matter the circumstances.

"Its fine…. I know the reasons and I've long excepted them…" Hinata stated with a quiet voice as she looked away at this. Naruto scowled at this and even Sayuri seemed to not like this. She cherished family a lot since she lost hers. There was no excuse that justified killing your family or trying to.

"I don't care what his reasons were. Trying to kill a member of your family is as bad as you could get. I'm going to knock some sense into him." Naruto said with a heated voice and Sayuri nodded in agreement. She agreed with this full heartedly.

"Please don't hurt him to badly. No matter what happened, he is still family to me." Hinata said as she realized that nothing was going to persuade Naruto out of this. Naruto just looked at her for a couple of seconds before nodding. He would kick his ass but he would at least not majorly injure him if he could help it.

"So, what's up Hinata? You seemed to be seeking us out?" Naruto stated to which Hinata realized that Naruto was interested in why she was most likely staring at them. Hinata wondered what she should do before steeling herself for this line of questions.

"What do you think about me Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked making Naruto blink at this question while Sayuri's eyes widened at this. She never thought that the soft spoken Hyuga would actually get the courage to ask this. She even tilted her head before noticing that Hinata was glancing at her somewhat heatedly.

'Does she…. Oh god does she think…' Sayuri thought to herself in shock and with a red tinge to her cheeks as she turned away from the Hyuga. She has been spending her downtime with him since that whole episode but the two didn't even look or act like a couple. Where could Hinata have pulled this idea from?

Naruto was extremely confused at this. He hadn't seen Hinata since the preliminaries and this was rather odd as a starting question for the first time seeing each other in almost a month. He really didn't know how to respond to this at all really.

"Well… I've always thought of you as weird." Naruto said as he looked up in thought as he rubbed the back of his head. Sayuri just stared at him blandly as she couldn't believe he just said that to her face. Hinata looked rather chest fallen at this. Luckily for both of them, Naruto continued with his thoughts.

"Your nice though and you've shown me that your very confident with your fight. Your smart, kind, beautiful and a person I would like to get to know better. You act strangely around me so I've mostly thought you were weird though." Naruto said to which Hinata was now very much almost fainting from the comments.

'He's lucky that he didn't just say she was weird or I would of clocked him over the head for being an idiot.' Sayuri thought as she was glad Naruto wasn't a complete idiot and actually went into detail.

"Why are you asking though Hinata? No ones actually asked for my thoughts on them before." Naruto asked confused and curious at the same time. No one has really asked for his opinion on anyone so he was naturally curious about why she was asking as the first person to come to him about it.

"Its because she likes you moron. You seem to be the only one that hasn't noticed." Sayuri stated blunted shocking Naruto if his stilled form was anything to go by.

"Sayuri-chan." Hinata screamed out utterly embarrassed that she was the one to say it and in front of Naruto no doubt. She had confidence issues, she didn't need something like this right now.

"What, you weren't going to have the courage to ask him and he's the idiot for not noticing in years. Now its out of the way." Sayuri stated with a firm tone that said she was right and that neither of them should doubt her on this. If Hinata wanted to beat Sayuri up, now was the time she really wanted to do it.

"Is this true Hinata?" Naruto asked with a neutral tone that brought Hinata's thoughts to him. She just looked down and nodded. Naruto was hit with a realization of every interaction with Hinata and felt like an idiot. How could he have not seen the signs?

"I'm flattered Hinata but…" Naruto started as he rubbed the back of his head with a blush on his face. Hinata's heart dropped at this though. She didn't want to hear the but. "I'm not really sure what I want in a relationship yet or what I really want personally."

"You're a great person and someone I could probably get along with. I'm having a hard time right now and I'm recognizing things I tried to ignore forever really. In truth, I'm not sure I would be able to reciprocate your feelings or anyone's right now. I'm trying to get everything straightened out and I'm not even sure if I want a relationship now. So please don't think its you alright." Naruto finished with a low voice and he hoped he could get his point across.

"I see…" Hinata said with a slight depressed tone. At least she was let down nicely compared to anything. She knew that she wasn't the problem or anything on this.

"Why don't you two be friends? There's no reason not to hang out with each other. Might give me time away from this idiot." Sayuri stated to which the two looked at her. "What? Its not like this has to weaken your relationship with each other."

"I think that's a good idea. Hey Hinata, you want to come with us? She's kind of forcing me to get a change of clothes." Naruto stated with a mutter and Hinata took in the condition of Naruto's clothes. She silently had to agree with Sayuri on this one even if it was his trademark outfit.

Naruto's jumpsuit was almost completely destroyed really. It was being held together really by different patches that Naruto must of done to keep his clothes intact. It looked like complete shit in her opinion though she would of never voiced it as such.

"Sure, I can help." Hinata stated as she felt that maybe if she hung around the two she might feel better. Hinata looked at Sayuri who blinked. "Can I talk to you in private though for a minute or two?" Hinata asked to which Sayuri just nodded slightly. She was kind of confused why she was asking her.

"Go ahead you two. I can wait here." Naruto said with a cheery smile and the two nodded before walking a good distance away. Naruto just hummed to himself for a couple of minute until the two came back. Naruto blinked at this as Sayuri was a couple shades paler while Hinata had a bright smile on her face. Naruto wouldn't say anything towards the smile because for some reason it made him shiver in fear.

"Is there a problem, you two?" Naruto asked skeptically, wondering if he should really even ask.

"Of course everything is alright, right Sayuri-chan?" Hinata said with a perky tone as if whatever shyness she had around Naruto was completely gone. Sayuri on the other hand just nodded her head as if the mere thought of saying anything would be lethal. Naruto felt he shouldn't even bother asking for an in-depth explanation.

Elsewhere

"Kabuto, have you found any information on where the Uchiha is training or anyway we can acquire her before the invasion?" Orochimaru asked from his seat as he stared at his second in command. Both of them sat/stood near a balcony where a bunch of people are currently fighting down below them.

"No, I couldn't get close to the route she uses to get out of Konoha or where she goes for training with Kakashi. It is heavily guarded and the path isn't clear to get a direction on where she goes. When she is in the village, she is around the Kyubi brat who is being watched by Jiraiya." Kabuto stated with a neutral tone as he reported to his master and Orochimaru frown and sneered at the information that Jiraiya was in the village.

"Jiraiya, I didn't think he would return to the village. The man is becoming a thorn in my side. He's usually to busy looking up a women's skirt than return to give a debrief on what he found." Orochimaru said to himself more than anything else.

"He probably came back with information about the Akatsuki. Its not information that can be trusted to a messaging summons or by bird. They would of found out about them sooner or later." Kabuto stated with a mirthful smile at this. "Should I eliminate him?"

Orochimaru glared at him with some killing intent. "Do not get full of yourself Kabuto. Jiraiya isn't someone to trifle with even if he acts like a letch. You wouldn't even be able to handle Tsunade if she actually kept her skills up. Only I or the high tiered Akatsuki members could deal with him." Orochimaru growled out at the mere thought of how strong the buffoon he knew as being strong enough to beat him.

"He is of little significance to the plan though. He will be more busy out in the village and no where near the Sandaime. He would never appear at the exams even if his students were in it. He trusts the Sandaime and his students enough not to be there. The fool." Orochimaru said with a smirk as he didn't have to waste time dealing with him.

"Yes that is true. From what I hear of Jiraiya, he really doesn't like showing himself in a public appearance like the Chunin Exams. He would rather spend his time in a brothel or bar." Kabuto stated with an amused tone at the thought of one of the Legendary three being like that.

"Should I got after Uchiha-chan while she is with the brat? It would be easy to get her when she is with him." Kabuto asked as if that was the best thing to do.

"No. If something happens during the kidnapping, we might have Akatsuki after us instead of them after Naruto-kun. We need Konoha to have a reason to kill them off enough where they are no longer a threat. We will wait till after the exams to get her." Orochimaru stated as he took into account that Naruto wouldn't just let her get kidnapped or let himself be caught off guard even if the kid didn't look like it. He might release the Kyubi's chakra again which is just a beacon for people to follow.

While the boy wasn't overly skilled compared to what he would think, the boy was under Jiraiya's guidance now. Despite his former teammates demeanor, he was a good teacher if Minato was any point. While it had to do with Minato's own talent more, if Jiraiya stuck to actually training him rather than learning to control the Kyubi, the boys skills would leap enough. Enough to not get caught off guard by a sneak attack at least. He would still lose to someone he sent to retrieve the Uchiha that is.

"Will there be a problem with the Uchiha's body being that of a girl? The boy you took over and modified is a girl but this changes your long term plans." Kabuto stated towards his creepy master.

"Its no matter. We can always do some experiments and use artificial means to get more Uchiha's for me to change into once her body breaks down. There are plenty of women that are loyal to me that would not mind bearing those children." Orochimaru stated with a wave, not even caring about the fact the Uchiha was really female.

There was a bloody scream of pain from down below and the two turned. Down below is a hand is throw one of the combatants chests. The dead combatant fell to show a blood covered silver haired teen who had a dark and evil smile on his face. His eyes glowed red and his pupil is slitted. The scene caused Orochimaru to chuckle and Kabuto frowned as he saw who lived.

"It seems Kimimaro's replacement for leader of the Sound Four has been decided. To think the last member of the Beast Clan would find his way into my clutches. He will be useful to my plans." Orochimaru said with a chuckle as the boy just looked up at them with a crazy, blood thirsty look.

"Uzumaki… I will kill you." The boy muttered as he couldn't wait to fight a certain blonde haired ninja.
