Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto.
In the morning Naruto and the others packed up their things and left the hotel.
"Big brother, I'm hungry" Ranmaru asked while being carried by Kimimaro
"How about we stop by the market to load up on some supplies and maybe get you something to eat" Naruto suggested, Ranmaru nodded yes
"Naruto, why does Ranmaru call you big brother" yukimaru asked
"Oh that, well, we consider each other family so he calls me big brother" Naruto explained
"Um, can I call you big brother" Yukimaru asked
"Of course, we're family after all" Naruto said as he patted Yukimaru on his head
"Come on let's go to the market, then we'll go see if we can get you and Guren some new clothes, okay" Gaara said
"Hey! Why are we getting clothes! You got a problem with the way I dress" Guren said
"No, it's not that, it's just, the only clothes you guys have are the ones you're wearing" Kimimaro said
"Oh" Guren said
"Oh, that reminds me, we have to get some clothes for Fu too" Naruto said
"Yeah, I can't wear hinata's clothes everyday no offense Hinata" Fi said
"It's okay" Hinata said
"Come on let's go inside" Haku said as he pointed at a clothing store" the others nodded and went inside. Once they were inside they were greeted by a man who had thinning brown hair and had blue eyes.
"Hello, do you kids need any help" the man asked
"No, we don't need any help" Hinata said
"Okay, just ask me if you need anything" The man replied before walking off
"Come on let's go get you some clothes" Haku said then he and Yukimaru started looking for clothes
"I'll go help Fu and Guren pick out clothes" Hinata said then she, Guren, and Fu started looking for clothes.
"Kimimaro, Why don't you take Ranmaru to the market to go get some food and can you go get the supplies we need while you're at it" Naruto said
"Ok" Kimimaro said and then left the store
"So what are we going to do" Gaara asked
"Let's go help Haku pick out clothes for yukimaru" Naruto said and the boys walked over to where Haku and Yukimaru were
With the girls
"So how long have you been with them" Guren asked as she looked through the clothes
"With who?" Fu asked as she was looking through a stack of clothes
"You know them" Guren said while motioning towards where the boys were
"Not that long, I actually met them a day before we met you and Yukimaru" Fu replied
"So how long have you been with them, Hinata" Guren asked
"Well, Naruto is the one who brought us all together and, I've always been with him ever since we ran away from our village" Hinata said while blushing
"So Naruto is the one who started this group we're in" Guren said
"Yes, Naruto was always treated cruelly just because the Kyubi is sealed inside of him, even so, Naruto still smiled and kept on trying to everyone to acknowledge him." Hinata said while blushing
"So how did you meet Naruto?" Fu asked.
"Well" Hinata said as she recalled the memory
Flashback
A young Hinata Hyuga was standing in front of the ninja academy.
Mother, I wish you were here, Hinata thought it had been a year since hinata's mother passed away. Since then Hiashi had rigorously trained Hinata and Hinata unfortunately couldn't keep up and her father had given up on her.
Mother, if you were alive would you be disappointed in me like father is Hinata thought while clutching the hairclip her mother gave her. Hinata never went anywhere without it, she always felt that her mother was with her because of the hairclip.
Mother why did you have to leave me alone, Hinata thought then she heard a rustling in the bushes behind her, she quickly turned around to see three boys that were older then her.
"Hey, that girl's a Hyuga" One of the boys said
"She's probably arrogant just like that Neji kid, right" the other boy said
"Come on let's teach her a lesson" the last boy suggested
"Yeah" they all said and then one of the boys grabbed Hinata by her hair.
"Your hair is weird, it's such a weird blue color, nobody has this weird blue hair" the boy teased as he kept on pulling on her hair. Tears started to leak out of Hinata's eyes as the boys kept on teasing her.
"It looks like the Hyuga isn't all high and mighty when their bodyguards aren't around" one of the other boys said
"I-I'm s-sorry" Hinata cried
"Oh look she's sorry, well sorry doesn't cut it" one of the boys said
"I-I'm s-sorry" Hinata cried as they pulled her hair
"Hey leave her alone!" they all turned around to see a blond hair boy with whiskers.
"Hey! That's the boy my parents tell me to avoid" one of the boys said
"My parents says he's a demon!" the other boy said
A demon? Hinata thought
"Leave her alone!" Naruto yelled then he punched the boy that was holding Hinata's hair causing him to let her go.
"Pick on somebody your own size" Naruto yelled
"How about we just pick on you!" the boy said and then the three boys started to gang up on Naruto and started beating him to the ground while Hinata just watched
I'm so useless, I have to help him, Hinata thought. Soon the three boys got tired of beating Naruto and left.
"U-Um, a-are y-you o-okay" Hinata asked but the boy only groaned in pain
"Lady Hinata" a voice said
"Ko" Hinata said as she turned around to see him
"Come on Lady Hinata, your father is waiting for you" Ko said as he took her hand
"B-But w-what a-about h-him" she motioned at Naruto
"That thing is none of your concern, Lady Hinata, come on we have to get back to the compound" Ko said as he took her away
"B-But" Hinata protested as she looked behind at the fallen boy
I'm sorry, Hinata thought as she walked away
End flashback
"That was pretty brave of Naruto, to stand up for you, that is" Fu said
"Who would have thought that blond boy would have had that in him" Guren said as she looked over a shirt
"Ever since them I've always admired him" Hinata said while lightly blushing
"So he's your first love, right" Fu asked
"Yeah" Hinata said while blushing
"How was Naruto treated back in the village you guys used to live in" Guren asked
"Naruto, was always hated by everyone, there are very few people that are kind to him that I'm sure you can only count all of them on one hand" Hinata said
"Really, that few" Guren asked
"When you're a jinchuuriki, you have to live with being hated by others, it's rare for one to have a lot of friends"
"I should know" Fu frowned
"What's with this depressing atmosphere all of a sudden" Guren said trying to lighten the mood
"Guren's right, come on, we still have to pick out clothes for you" hinata said
"Yeah" Fu replied
With the boys
"Haku, are you done shopping yet" Naruto whined
"Just a little longer Naruto" Haku said as he looked through a pile of clothes
"But I'm bored" Naruto whined again
"Why can't you just be patient" Haku said
"I agree with Naruto, just how long does it take to buy some clothes" Gaara replied
"Gaara, not you too" Haku crying anime tears
"Why's Haku crying"
"What are you trying to do Kimimaro, give me a heart attack" Naruto said as he turned around to face Kimimaro and Ranmaru who was eating a blueberry muffin.
"Want one" Kimimaro said while showing them a basket full of bread and pastries
"How did you get these" Naruto asked as he and Gaara each took a bagel
"There was a bakery that just opened up and they were having a contest, letting the customers try to win bread, pastries, or money" Ranmaru explained and then took a bite of his muffin
"So what did you have to do to win something" Gaara asked
"Well all we had to do was pick a loaf of bread that had a key inside of it. If you get a bronze key you get a basketful of bread, if you get a silver key you get a basketful of bread and pastries, if you get a gold key you get two basketfuls of bread and pastries and $500" Kimimaro explained (I'm using U.S. currency here I don't know how much it would be in Japan currency)
"So did you get a silver key" Kimimaro shook his head no
"We got a gold key" Kimimaro answered
"Ranmaru used his bloodline, didn't he" Naruto asked
"Yep" Kimimaro said
"So where's the money" Gaara asked
"It's in my backpack along with the bread and pastries" Kimimaro said
"You also got the supplies that we need, right" Gaara asked.
"Yeah I did" Kimimaro answered
"Hey guys we're done" Haku said while carrying a pile of clothes
"Good you got all the necessities" Naruto asked
"Do you really think I wouldn't get them" Haku said
"I'm just making sure" Naruto said then he saw the girls coming towards them while holding a small pile of clothes
"You girls finished shopping" Naruto asked
"Yep" Fu replied while carrying a small pile of clothes
"Come on let's go pay for them and leave" Gaara said, the others nodded and they paid for their clothes
"Have a nice day" the woman said as the kids left
"Here Yukimaru have one" Naruto said as he gave Yukimaru a muffin from the basket
"Thank you, big brother" yukimaru said as he took the muffin and bit into it
"We're going to leave town since we got our supplies" Naruto said as he took a bite of his bagel
"But what about breakfast" Fu asked then Naruto threw a bagel at her
"That's breakfast" Naruto replied
"But I wanted to eat something else" Fu complained
"It's either that or starve" Naruto replied
"Fine" fu said and took a bite out of her bagel
"So where are we going next" Guren asked as she took a small loaf of bread out of the basket and split it in half and offered it to Hinata
"Thank you" Hinata said as she took the bread and ate it
"The closest town is about a couple weeks away from here" Haku said as he took a muffin from the basket
"Don't forget we also have to read those scrolls while we're traveling" Naruto said as he ate his bagel
"So it's going to be awhile before we reach another town, right" Guren said
"Yep" Naruto said as he finished his bagel "Come on, let's get going now"
"Ok" the others replied and left the town
"So which way do we go" Naruto asked causing the others to face fault
Even though he could be mature he's utterly clueless when it comes to directions, Haku thought and pointed where they were supposed to be going
"That way" Haku said
"Thanks" Naruto said then ran in that direction leaving a cloud of dust
"NARUTO!" Haku yelled and quickly ran after him
"And he's the one who started this group" Guren asked
"Apparently" Kimimaro answered
"Come on we better catch up to them before Haku kills Naruto" Gaara said then they all ran after where Naruto and Haku ran.
Later, they found Naruto and Haku and luckily they found them before Haku could try to kill Naruto.
"We'll take a break here and while we're at it we're going to read some of the scrolls, okay" Naruto asked
"Ok"
"I'll start unsealing the scrolls" Hinata said as she started to unseal the scrolls
"I'm going to practice the crystal jutsus in this scroll you found" Guren said as she held up the scroll
"That's fine just make sure you practice far away from here" Naruto replied as he was reading a scroll
"Do you really think that I'm that stupid" Guren answered
"No, I was just implying th"
"You're implying that I can't think for myself now" Guren yelled
"No, I didn't say that"
"But you were thinking that weren't you" Guren yelled accusingly
"N-No" Naruto replied
"Then why are you stuttering"
"Uhh, umm"
"I'm going to kill you!" Guren yelled and started to choke Naruto then sand started to wrap around Guren and Naruto and gently pulled them apart
"Guren, don't kill Naruto in front of Ranmaru and Yukimaru they're too young to see their big brother die" Gaara said while making the sand gently put them down on the ground
"H-How" Guren said as she looked at the sand
"It's a long story" Gaara replied
"Guren why don't you just practice those jutsus in the scroll, we'll call you when we're going to start traveling again, okay" Haku said
"Fine" Guren said and then walked off
"Come on let's go read some of the scrolls" Hinata said once guren was out of sight
"Big sis what are you reading" Ranmaru looked at the scroll Hinata was currently reading
"It's a scroll about medical ninjutsu" Hinata replied
"Medical ninjutsu?" Yukimaru asked
"It's a type of ninjutsu that medical ninjas use" Hinata explained
"What are medical ninjas" Yukimaru asked
"They're ninjas that specialize in medical treatment and medical jutsus. In order to become a medical ninja you have to have excellent chakra control" Hinata explained
"How do you know if you have excellent chakra control" Ranmaru asked
"Well one of the ways to find out if you have excellent chakra control is walking up trees using chakra. If you can easily walk up the tree the first time, that shows that you have excellent chakra control" Hinata said
"So does that mean you and Haku can become medical ninjas" Ranmaru asked
"Huh" hinata and Haku replied
"You and Haku were the first ones to master the tree walking exercise. Does that mean you guys are going to become medical ninjas" Ranmaru asked
"That would be wise, I mean if one of us were to get hurt the other would heal them, or if we were separated into two groups then each of the groups would have a person who could heal their wounds if they were to get hurt" Hinata said
"Yeah we should study medical ninjutsu" Haku said as he picked up one of the scrolls
"Um, what is medical ninjutsu anyway, you never explained" Yukimaru asked
"Oh yeah, I never told you did I, medical ninjutsu is a type of ninjutsu that is used heal another persons body or yourself. It works by using your chakra to heal the wound. Medical ninjas also have to learn about medicinal herbs to make medicine or antidotes to counteract poisons, and the human anatomy in case they have to perform surgery on one of their patients." Hinata said
"It must be hard to become a medical ninja" Yukimaru said
"Yep it is" Hinata agreed
"Do you think there are any medical ninjutsu that can heal my body" Ranmaru asked
"I'm sure there's bond to be one out there" Hinata said while patting Ranmaru's head
"Come on let's keep on looking through these scrolls" Hinata said
"Ok" the two young kids said. The young group of children looked through the scrolls for about half a hour before Guren came running towards them covered in blood. Wait… BLOOD
"Guren are you okay, you're covered in blood" Hinata said as she looked at Guren who was completely covered in blood
"I'm not the one who needs help, someone else does" Guren said
"Who?" they asked
"Come on" Guren said leading them towards where she was training which was now all chopped up and there was a man on the ground whose upper body was bleeding
"What in the world did you do to him" Naruto asked
"I didn't do anything. Instead of asking why don't you try saving him" Guren said
"Haku and I will try to stop the bleeding" Hinata said as she walked over to the man and started taking out bandages from her backpack with Haku right next to her looking through his backpack and then pulled out some medicinal herbs and started helping Hinata clean up the wound. After a couple of minutes the two stopped working.
"Don't worry he's going to be okay" Hinata said while wiping her bloody hands on a towel
"That's a relief" Guren said
"I'll say, this guy was pretty close to bleeding to death" Haku said as he started cleaning his hands
"Hey Guren, how do you know this dude" Naruto asked
"Well just recently he just saved my life" Guren replied
"What!"
