Chapter 15
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
It was virtually silent as Tsunade and Shizune traveled. Both too busy entertaining their troubling thoughts to communicate in pointless chatter. For that is all it would be,
neither wanted to speak to the other of the situation in Konoha. As they traveled in a hurried pace, Shizune noticed Tsunade's private messenger bird darting high above, taking
out her bird whistle she called "Felicia" down. With a graceful swoop, the bird lands on Shizune's arm.
"What are you doing out here Felicia?" Shizune murmured as she fed the beautiful bird.
Tsunade whom the bird actually belonged to was curious too. No one but the Hokage is supposed to use one of the elite birds, and the fact that someone was using her
favorite was a warning bell in her head. While Shizune cooed and spoiled the Felicia, Tsunade removed the letter attached to her.
What she discovered will change her world forever.

Sasuke was kicking and spitting on the unconscious body of his teammate, Sakura Haruno. Her wounds included burns and stab wounds, bruises, cuts, and splinters littered
her body. In her hair were dirt and sticks. Sakura definitely had at least a few broken bones, overall she was a mess. Sasuke was completely out of his mind at that moment.
His eyes were red and his anger just refused to be satiated. He was completing the signs for a chidori when his brother and cousins chakra signature caught him off guard.

"You don't have to pick up my mess, after all you are a guest in MY home Hinata-chan!" Naruto proclaimed. With the tense and romantic atmosphere completely lost and
forgotten, Hinata could finally breathe. On one hand, Hinata was relieved that the awkwardness was over, but also dissapointed that it was too. Hinata really didn't know
what to feel or do. Everything was so new to her. Once Naruto was done cleaning up all the glass, he blushed and turned to Hinata. Hinata was blown away at the blush on
the handsome blonde's face, he looked so gorgeous! Like a prince in one of those civilian fictional stories her nanny used to read to her at bedtime.
"Erm Hinata-chan.." Naruto awkwardly mumbled.
"Y-yes Naruto?" Hinata could feel her face heat up.
"I was wondering, since you know, the food was ruined and I still have to make it up to you for making you faint in all..." Naruto nervously sputtered. Hinata tried desperately
tried to control her breathing and focused on not losing consciousness while Naruto continued.
"Would you like to.. gooutforfoodsometime!" Naruto started out slow but rushed the last part of the sentence. Hinata really did NOT know what to do now! Her breathing
accelerated and her face was really hot. Naruto was afraid of her passing out again so he hurriedly exclaimed "Just nod yes or no!"
Hinata blushed even deeper if that was possible and hurriedly nodded yes before running out of his apartment. Naruto was so happy he didn't even care she ran away,
Grinning to himself, Naruto thought a celebratory dinner at Ichariku's was in order, his teammates far from his mind.
