Postpone?
"I see-" the youngest Kazekage said "-Uchiha Sasuke asked that we postpone the battles for another a week?"
"Hai-" he released the smoke into the air "-Hyuuga Hinata, it is because of her that Sasuke wants the battles to be postpone-"
"Hyuuga Hinata?-" Gaara asked him, Sarutobi nodded "-for a Kunoichi? Postpone the battles for a Kunoichi?" he asked, once again Sarutobi nodded "Hai, I believe he has also changed because of her."
Uchiha Sasuke. He'd fought him when his father, the Kazekage gave him along with Temari and Kankuro orders; orders on attacking Konoha.
Then he learned the truth, it was Orochimaru, Orchimaru who had killed the Kazekage, he had disguised himself as the fourth Kazekage, and planed an attack on Konoha.
Orochimaru was caught when he had used one of his own jutsu to fight an enemy, and was discovered by as well as the Konoha ninja, together they both managed to cause him his arms.
After a peace treaty Suna and Konoha had become allies, and by the Suna village elders decision Gaara had become Jounin and taken the role of the fifth Kazekage.
The Suna villagers were against the fact that they had a Jinchuuriki was the new Kazekage.
Gaara wasn't so thrilled about being Kazekage, and Kankuro even asked if he could be Kazekage, Temari was against that.
Knowing the village feared him, Gaara felt as thought he shouldn't be Kazekage.
However Naruto changed the peoples views as well as Gaara', he told Gaara that if he cared for someone other than himself and fought for someone other than himself, he would see results.
Soon he saw villagers smile at him, greet him, Suna respected him, and they respected the new fifth Kazekage.
However this had nothing to do with Naruto. This was about Uchiha Sasuke, the last of the Uchiha.
Sure Naruto and Kiba burst in and asked to postpone the battles, but according to the third Hokage Sasuke was there first.
"Changed?" he asked, he really didn't know anything else besides the fact that when they fought he saw loneliness and anger in his eyes, he wanted power for revenge.
He knew nothing more of the Uchiha other than the well known Sharingan.
"You see Kazekage, Uchiha Sasuke may be a well skilled genin among others-"
"Naruto?" Sarutobi nodded with a smile "-Hai" he cleared his throat and continued "-Sasuke trained alone, he hated working in groups even in missions-"
He looked at Hinata' profile "-then she came into his life, Hyuuga Hinata ex-heir to the Hyuuga compound."
Gaara listen to the Hokage as he told her how her father had dishonored her from the Hyuuga name.
How she trained day and night, how because of Sasuke she wanted to prove to her father Hiashi she was a Kunoichi.
How she had become ill, and had gone into coma. How Sasuke gave his chakra to help her regain conscience.
He had gone to all the troubles just ask the Hokage if they can postpone the battle for another week just so Hinata could be in them.
"What will we be doing in a week?" Gaara ask him, Sarutobi smiled "Celebrating, and training of course."
"Very well, I will have to send a message to Suna, saying that the battle will be postpone for another week"
"Very well, I will inform the Shinobi of Konoha." Sarutobi told him as he released more smoke, smiling he said "I will arrange for your stay here in Konoha-"
"Arigatou" the Kazekage told him.
…
Lying on the hospital bed, once again he thought about what would happen will the battle be postpone?
If it hadn't been for the dobe and the mutt along with Akamaru, the Hokage would have let him talk a bit more.
"Dobe-" he said closing his eyes.
"Two days" she thought, just tow more days and the battles began. Hinata sigh looking out the window.
"-Hinata?" the nurse called out, "C-come in" Hinata answered.
The nurse entered with Tsunade by her side, "How you are feeling?" Tsunade asked her "F-fine, arigatou." she answered "You may go home today."
"Home?" she asked, Tsunade and the nurse nodded "-hai."
Tsunade then reminded her again "Just remember what I told you, don't push yourself to exhauster. You have to rest"
"Hai" she said sadly.
"Is there anything else you need?" Tsunade asked her.
She thought about it "Ii-" then she asked "-wh-what about S-sauke?" Tsunade smiled, "He can go back home, as well."
Nodding Hinata smiled and thanked them once more, the smiled and closed the door so she could change to her clothes.
...
"Sasuke?" he heard his name called, he didn't answer, slowly the door opened and Tsunade entered, the nurse had gone to do his and Hinata' papers for them to leave.
"I think you'll be happy to hear that you can leave home today." she expected for him to smile or even sigh, but he didn't.
"Hump" he just grunted, as if thought he didn't care.
"Like I told Hinata, just don't push your self to exhauster" he quickly got up, "How-"
"She's fine. She's going home today too."
"Home?" quickly Sasuke got out of bed, he already had his clothe on. Tsunade smiled at his action, "Well at least someone motivates him." she thought.
He was out the door, and he saw bumped with "Hinata" she looked at him and smiled "S-Sasuke-"
She was finally able to go home, with him. Hinata fidgeted with her fingers "-I umm guess...we g-go umm home." he gave her a small smile and nodded.
Leaving the hospital, the place Sasuke hated more than Naruto' place (which always smelled like ramen and milk)
Both Hinata and Sasuke walked down Konoha, and began hearing "Postpone?" and "I've been working all week for this battles."
Sasuke didn't really pay attention maybe Naruto had something to do with this, maybe he knew the Hokage wouldn't do anything so he started spreading these rumors around.
"Hinata, I'm glad I found you-" Kiba said, he looked at Sasuke, "-why is he-" Hinata didn't want to make
Sasuke uncomfortable "-what's w-wrong K-Kiba?" she asked stepping in front of Sasuke and her comrade.
"Kurenai-sensei asked me to look for you-" he looked at Sasuke again "-Kakashi-sensei is looking for you Uchiha."
"What for?" Sasuke asked him, Kiba shrugged "L-lets go." she told them both, heading towards the same direction they saw the Hokage and Kazekage. What were they up too?
Again all the rookies, and Jounin and Chuunin were all gathered, as well as Shinobi from Konoha, Suna and other countries.
"LISTEN UP YOU MAGGOTS, THE HOKAGE IS ABOUT TO SPEAK" once again it was Anko yelling getting everyone's attention so the Hokage could say what he had to say.
"As you may already know the battles, which will prove if you are ready to be Chuunin will be in two days-"
Everyone cheered, obviously everyone had trained hard for them, and to prove to everyone how strong they are.
Hinata's eyes sadden. Sasuke's looked at her and his fists tighten and shook, so he didn't-
"-The Kazekage and I have decided to postpone the battles for another week."
"What?"
"Postpone? But I've working all of the days and nights."
"Yeah, me too"
"ENOUGH!" yelled a now irritated Anko, everyone hushed.
The Hokage continued "-I know you may be disappointed, however you have another week to train improve and even develop new techniques."
"Why?" a brown haired Kunoichi asked the Hokage.
He looked at her and smiled "-because it has come to my concern that-" he looked at Sasuke smile still on his face he said "-some just need more time, and I would gladly give her another week."
Obviously the so called Shinobi were too slow to catch the word her in the sentence.
"Her?" Sasuke thought, he nodded at a sigh of giving him his thanks, "-so train hard, and rest. That is all." those who had quested why the battles had been postponed were now glad.
"-now I can train harder."
"-yeah and I can sleep"
"-same, with all the training I barely got any sleep"
"Alright!" Sasuke and Hinata and well practically everyone within 100 feet heard the loud mouth of the village, Naruto.
Hinata eyes widen "Postpone?" she asked.
Kiba saw that that might be a good time to leave her and Sasuke alone (even thought he didn't like the Uchiha guy, he'd been there as well probably telling the Hokage about postponing the battles.)
"Well I'm glad you'll be in the battles Hina-" Kiba smiled "-take care, bye."
"Arigatou Kiba, bye" she told him, Kiba along Akamaru left, slowly enough the people began to leave, leaving only the few who talked among themselves.
"-because it has come to my concern that-" the Hokage had looked this way finishing his sentence "-some just need more time, and I would gladly give her another week." She looked at Sasuke.
Could it have been him? No. As if though he had read her mind she nodded "Hai, it was me who talked to him."
"Why?" she asked him curiously, "-because I couldn't bare the thought of you training hard and not being in the battles."
He did it for her? He…she was filled with so many emotions, emotions towards him; she soon closed the space and hugged him, tears running down her face "Oh Sasuke-kun, Arigatou!" she cried.
He wrapped his arms around her small neck and inhaled her scent "-anything for you, Hime"
