"Woah! Hinata time out for a second. You sure do pack a punch!" Naruto said getting back on his feet.
"Oh sorry Naruto kun. I didn't mean to harm you…" Hinata looked down.
"Ahh it's okay! I think at this rate, you might have a higher chance to get Jounin!" Naruto said optimistically.
"Thank you Naruto kun. Now please don't go easy on me, I want some challenge." Hinata said activating her Kekkei Genkai, Byakugan.
"Alright Hinata you asked for it." Naruto said charging up is signature jutsu. "RASENGAN!"
Naruto dashed towards Hinata quickly with his ball in hand. Hinata was able to evade the attack and hate a hit at Naruto's left arm. Naruto didn't stop from that hit but instead charge up another Rasengan but instead used Kagebunshin no Jutsu. The barrage of Narutos ran towards Hinata on her Gentle Fist stance ready for the attack.
"Naruto kun, are you going easy on me? You know this isn't helping me." Hinata complained, "Well I guess I'll use this technique."
Hinata quickly went into her postion and cried out, "Protection of the Eight Trigram Sixty four Palms"
At her stance, constant stream of sharp chakra shot out of her hands, hitting the Shadow clones of Naruto and instantly making them disappear. One by one the many clones that Naruto summon began to disappear, eventually leaving Naruto by himself with his Rasengan. Hinata being exhausted from using her technique collapse on the floor with zero chakra.
"Naruto… I think I'm done…" Hinata managed to say before she fainted.
"Hinata? You okay? Ahh well, I guess we can take a rest then..." Naruto said a bit concerned.
Hinata woke up a couple of hours later, she saw that she was at the river side and Naruto eating the riceballs she had made for the both of them.
"Naruto kun?" Hinata said trying to call on Naruto.
"Oh Hinata! You're awake! Well it's been a couple of hours since you passed out. Here, want a riceball?" Naruto smiled.
"Thank you Naruto kun…" Hinata said taking the riceball and taking a bit out of it.
"So Hinata, I gotta say you're pretty darn strong." Naruto complimented, "I think you're in much better shape to compete in the Jounin exams than me!"
Hinata was surprised; she always thought that she was a weak and fragile girl. No one had told her that she was strong or anything of that sort. And the fact that Naruto, the supposed strongest ninja of Konoha saying that made her grim and blush.
"Thank you Naruto kun. I think you will do well in the Jounin exams also." Hinata replied back.
The day went by as both Naruto and Hinata trained their hardest, trying to sharp their skills to its best intent. Naruto became more resilient at direct hits due to Hinata's Gentle Fists. He was also more capable of doing Taijutsu after learning Hinata's attack patterns. Hinata, on the other hand was able to sharpen her speed in her attacks and movements, dodging many opponents at once came easy for her because of Naruto's Kagebunshin. It was night fall before Naruto and Hinata called it a day of training. The two went out to eat at Ichiraku's and went home.
"See you tomorrow Naruto kun." Hinata said leaving her dear Naruto.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow also!" Naruto said with his trademark grin.
