As the four were walking Naruto began walking ahead of everyone else. Sakaru stared at Naruto's back facing everyone. "This isn't the same Naruto I know…I know that there is something bothering him, but what?" Sakura thought to herself as she walked towards Naruto. Naruto glanced over at the pink haired ninja who was currently walking besides him.
"Naruto…are you sure that there is nothing bothering you?" She asked while looking into the hyperactive ninja eyes. Naruto looked at Sakura and could tell that she was truly worried about him. He didn't mean to snap at her like he did before it was just that he hated when she always ignore him and pay more attention to Sasuke, it really annoyed him.
Naruto looked at Sakura and gave her a small smile. "I'm fine Sakura-chan" he said while looking away from her. Sakura smiled at Naruto.
"Sakura-chan…"
Sakura looked at Naruto who was looking at her. "What is it Naruto?" she asked.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you yesterday" he said while looking at her with a straight expression as his expression began to form a small smile. Sakura looked at Naruto.
"It's okay Naruto, I forgive you"
Naruto grinned at Sakura as they both continued to walk side by side, leaving Sasuke and Hinata behind watching the two walking together. Hinata watched Sakura and Naruto together, oh how she wish she could trade places with Sakura just for one day so she could get all the attention from Naruto that Sakura gets from him. Hinata looked to the ground as she let out a long sigh. Sasuke looked at Hinata and knew that she was thinking about Naruto.
"I don't get it why does she like that dobe? Why doesn't she just come out and tell him that she likes him…it's so annoying to watch her look at him the way she does" Sasuke thought as he glared at Hinata. Hinata notice the glared but looked away when she saw him staring at her. Sasuke was glaring at her a lot lately it really annoyed her and made her feel uncomfortable, but she doesn't say anything about it she just looks away whenever he looks at her.
"Hey look a village, maybe we could stay here for a few days" Sakura said while looking down at the village.
"We don't have time for a vacation Sakura we're on a mission" Sasuke exclaimed with and irritated expression. Naruto looked at Sasuke. "A little break couldn't hurt Sasuke, besides we've been walking for days now and it would be nice to sleep in a bed at an inn instead of sleeping out in the forest" Naruto said. Sasuke knew Naruto was right but didn't want to show it.
"Whatever" Sasuke said was he began walking ahead of Naruto. Naruto grinned in victory. As they were walking into the village they all scanned there surroundings. As they continued walking Sasuke got a few stares at some of the local village girls.
"He's so cute I wonder does he have a girlfriend?" one girl said
"If he doesn't I'll be glad to be his girlfriend" the girl with the blonde hair said as she began to walk towards Sasuke. Sasuke continued to walk ignoring the girl that was approaching him.
Sakura gave the girl an evil glare as she walked towards Sasuke. "Don't you dare take one step closer to MY SASUKE-KUN" Sakura gave the girl an evil stare as the girl backed away from Sasuke in a frightened way.
"It seems he already has a girlfriend…a scary one with an abnormal size forehead" the blonde hair girl said as she began to walk away. Sakura got even angrier when she heard them say that. Sasuke just smirked when he heard the girl say that about Sakura. Naruto glared at Sasuke. "Why are all the girls always interested in HIM, no girl ever has looked at me that way before like they look at Sasuke-no-baka" Naruto thought to himself as he continued to stare at the Uchiha.
"Ano…Naruto-kun" the Hyuuga said hoping that Naruto couldn't hear her. Naruto turned and looked at Hinata. "What is it Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked. But Hinata quickly looked away.
"Hinata-chan you're really weird you know" Naruto said while staring at her. Hinata didn't hear Naruto say that because she had her back turned away from Naruto twiddling her fingers like she always did when she's nervous. Sasuke noticed the comment that Naruto made about Hinata as he stared at Naruto. He wanted to say something to Naruto but he didn't want to seem like he liked the Hyuuga girl, so he just bite his tongue on this one and said nothing.
"Come on Sasuke-kun let's look around for a bit" Sakura said as she pulled Sasuke's arm. "Hey Sakura wait let go of me" Sasuke said as he was now being dragged by the pink haired ninja. Naruto watched as Sasuke and Sakura left together as he turned towards Hinata.
"Well now it's just you and me Hinata-chan" Naruto said while grinning at Hinata. Hinata blushed as Naruto grinned at her. "I'm alone with Naruto-kun" Hinata thought to herself as her blush deepened.
"Well come on Hinata-chan we might as well look around ourselves" Naruto said looking ahead. Hinata nodded as the two began to walk together.
"Hey Hinata-chan…can I ask you something?" Naruto asked. Hinata looked at Naruto as she began blushing. She didn't know what Naruto was going to ask her but she slowly nodded her head.
"Why is her face always so red around me? I wonder if she's sick or something" Naruto thought as he looked at Hinata. "Do you like Sasuke" Naruto asked while looking at Hinata. Hinata looked at Naruto in a confused way. "Why did he ask me that of all questions" Hinata thought to herself as she looked at Naruto.
"Why would you ask me that Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked out of curiosity.
"It's just that it seems like all of the girls like him and I was just curious what they see in him" Naruto said honestly.
"I honestly don't know myself Naruto-kun what they see in Sasuke-san, but no I-I do not like him" Hinata said while looking at Naruto. Naruto looked at Hinata in shock. "Finally a girl who doesn't like Sasuke-no-baka" Naruto thought as he grinned.
"...If you don't mind me asking who do you like Hinata-chan..."
Hinata nearly fainted when Naruto asked her that. She knew the answer but she couldn't just come out a tell Naruto the he was the one that she likes. Hinata began to turned beet red. Naruto looked at Hinata and noticed that her face was red.
"Hinata-chan are you okay? You're turning red are you sick or something" the dense ninja asked as he touched Hinata's forehead checking her temperature. Just at that moment Hinata fainted.
"HINATA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled as he caught Hinata just before she fell to the ground.
"Sasuke-kun this is going to be fun hanging out like this without Naruto hanging around us" Sakura exclaimed. Sasuke made a grunt noise as he continued walking with Sakura.
"I'd whether be with Hinata right now than Sakura. I wonder what she and Naruto are doing. WAIT a minute what am I thinking it's not like I have feelings for that Hyuuga loser or anything because I don't, she's a loser and a weakling someone that I DON'T care for at all" Sasuke thought to himself as he started to frown. "OR do I?"
"Hey Sasuke-kun are what's wrong? Lately you look like you have been deep in thought" Sakura said while looking at Sasuke in concern. "Is there anything you would like to talk about?"
Sasuke looked at Sakura in an annoyed way. "I'm fine Sakura" he said with an irritated expression on his face. Sakura nodded her head as they both continued to walk. "We should have decided on a meeting place where we could meet back up with Naruto and Hinata-san" Sakura said while putting her finger up to her chin while thinking. Sasuke looked at Sakura.
"I'm sure that we'll run into them sometime soon" Sasuke replied. Sakura nods her head. "I just hope Naruto won't do anything stupid while we're here" Sakura said as she continued to walk.
"Hinata-chan, Hinata-chan are you okay?" the blonde haired ninja asked while holding Hinata in his arms. Hinata slowly opened her eyes as she looked at Naruto and noticed that she was in his arm. She began blushing.
"N-N-Naruto-kun" she said as she sat up looking at Naruto. "You fainted Hinata-chan, are you sure you're okay?" Naruto asked while having a concerned expression on his face. "Ano...I'm okay" she said as she stood up. Naruto stared at Hinata for a while before standing up himself.
"Hinata sure is strange" Naruto thought to himself as he looked at her. "We better try to find Sasuke-no-baka and Saku-" Naruto stopped talking when he sees something that interested him.
"A RAMEN BAR" Naruto yelled as he ran straight for the ramen bar. Hinata looks at Naruto as he runs towards the bar. Hinata smiles in a awkward way as she follows him towards the Ramen Bar.
"I'll have one bowl of chicken flavor ramen please" Naruto said while grinning.
"Coming right up" the man said. "Hinata-chan would you like anything?" the hyperactive ninja asked. Hinata shook her head.
"Okay if you say so" he said while looking around at the Ramen bar.
"Here you go one bowl of chicken flavor ramen" the man replied as he handed Naruto the bowl of ramen. As soon as the man handed Naruto the bowl of ramen he started eating it really fast.
"Mmmm...This is almost better than the ramen in Konoha" Naruto said as he continued eating his ramen. "Are you sure you wouldn't like anything to eat young lady?" the man asked Hinata. "Yes I'm sure" Hinata replied with a smile on her face.
"Another bowl please" Naruto said as he handed the man his bowl. The man took the bowl and handed him another one.
"Another bowl"
The man handed him another bowl while staring at Naruto in shock.
"Another"
"Another"
"One more please"
"I never seen someone eat as much as this before... especially a kid like this" the man thought as he stared at Naruto with wide eyes. Hinata also looked at Naruto at with wide eyes.
"...Naruto-kun..." Hinata said while staring at him in shock. Naruto finished his last bowl as he laid back in his seat.
"Ah, I'm so full" he said while rubbing his stomach. Hinata stared at Naruto. "He just ate six bowls of Ramen...six bowls" Hinata thought while she stared at Naruto in shock. Naruto notice that Hinata was staring at him and was about to say something but Sakura and Sasuke walked towards them.
"Naruto we've been looking everywhere for you" Sakura said while walking towards Naruto and Hinata. Naruto looked at Sakura and grinned at her. "We were just eating Ramen...well I was Hinata didn't eat anything" Naruto exclaimed while looking at Hinata. Hinata looked away from Naruto when he looked at her and she started blushing.
Sasuke looked at Hinata and made an irritated expression. "Can't she go one day without blushing around that dobe...it's annoying" Sasuke thought while glaring at Hinata. Hinata notice the glare as she looks away from Sasuke. Naruto also notice that Sasuke was glaring at Hinata.
"Hey Sasuke-no-baka you are always glaring like that at Hinata-chan? What did she do to you to make you stare at her like that?" Naruto said while glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke glared at Naruto as Naruto was walking towards him.
"Hey come on you two, people are starting to stare" Sakura said while looking at the people around them stopping and looking at the two ninja glaring at each. The two ninjas ignored Sakura and the other peoples staring as they continued glaring at each other.
"Ano..." Hinata began. Both ninjas barely heard the ninja as the continued glaring at each other.
"Ano..."Hinata said but this time a little louder. Both ninjas looked at Hinata. "Sakura-san is right you two such stop" Hinata said while blushing. Both ninjas did stop.
"You're lucky this time Sasuke-no-baka" Naruto smirked. Sasuke grunted as he walked away from Naruto as he walked passed Hinata. Hinata looked down to the ground as Sasuke walked passed her. Sasuke looked at Hinata from the corner of his eye and could tell from the look in her eyes that she seems to be nervous around him.
"Look Hinata-san" Sasuke started. Hinata slowly lifted her head up to look at Sasuke. "You don't have to be so nervous around me, I'm not going to bite you" Sasuke said while looking at Hinata. Hinata looked at Sasuke as she began to give him a small smile. "I'm sorry for acting like that around you Sasuke-san, I apologize" she replied while smiling at him. Sasuke felt his cheeks heat up as he turned his face away from Hinata.
"It's okay Hinata-san" Sasuke said while walking towards Naruto and Sakura. Hinata stared at Sasuke for a while before following him and Naruto and Sakura to find and inn to stay at.
"I really don't get Sasuke, sometimes he's being nice and other times he's acting like a completely different person" Hinata thought to herself. As they were walking they found an inn to stay at as they walked inside it was full of ninjas from different villages. The four ninjas looked around at all of the men as the ninjas looked at them walk in watching them like they were some type of aliens from another planet.
Naruto, Sakura and Hinata looked at the ninjas in a frightened way as they gulped. Sasuke stared at them with an angry expression, although he too was frightened of the ninjas but of course he wasn't going to show that he was afraid.
They four Konoha ninjas walked towards the desk were a lady sat. "We'll like to stay here for the night" Sasuke said while looking at the lady with his expressionless expression. "We have two rooms open" the lady said while smiling at the raven haired boy. "Would you like those?" The lady asked. "Yes we'll take those" Sasuke replied as he and Naruto paid for everyone.
As they were walking to they're rooms the ninjas glared at Naruto and Sasuke along with Sakura and Hinata making them feel uncomfortable. "Gosh the ninjas here are so creepy" Sakura thought as they were standing in front of there room doors.
"Well you guys take that room while Hinata-san and I take this one" Sakura said while looking at Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto nodded as he walked into his room as Sasuke grunted as he followed Naruto. As they closed they're door Naruto was muttering something to himself.
"Why do I have to share a room with Sasuke-no-baka" Naruto muttered to himself. Sasuke glared at Naruto when he heard him say that.
"Look I don't want to share a room with you either but there was only two rooms left and I wasn't going to share a room with Sakura or Hinata" Sasuke exclaimed. Naruto glared at Sasuke as he walked towards his bed.
Meanwhile in Sakura and Hinata's room. "I wonder what Sasuke is doing right now...I hope Naruto isn't bothering him" Sakura said while she frowned while thinking about Naruto. Hinata looked at Sakura and smiled.
"Sakura-san?" Hinata started as she looked at Sakura. Sakura looked at Hinata.
"What is it Hinata-san?" the pink haired ninja asked. "W-Why do y-you like Sasuke-san?" the blushing Hyuuga asked while looking at Sakura. Sakura blushed at the question that Hinata asked her.
"Well because super kawaii and his cool" Sakura said while blushing. Hinata looked at Sakura.
"Oh" Hinata replied. "That's the only reason why she likes him?" Hinata thought to herself as she looked at Sakura who was now blushing. Hinata sighed.
"Hey Sasuke why do you always ignore all of those girls who follow you all of the time? If I were you I wouldn't ignore them" Naruto said.
"Because annoying and irritating" Sasuke replied. Naruto narrowed his eyes at Sasuke.
"Sasuke are you...gay?" Naruto said while having his eyes narrowed. Sasuke looked at Naruto in shock as he looked at Naruto with an irritated expression. "I'm not gay you dobe" Sasuke said in a angry tone. "Then why are you always being mean to all the girls who like you and you always turn them down" Naruto exclaimed. "I already told you, you baka" Sasuke said while glaring at Naruto.
"Well is there someone that you do like Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke was quiet for a while before answering him.
"Ah ha there is someone that you like. Who is? Is it Ino? Is it Tenten? Is it Temari? It better not be Sakura-chan" Naruto said while looking at Sasuke. He was asking a question a mile a minute, of course Sasuke was getting quiet annoyed.
"It's not any of your business who I like and no it isn't any one you just named" Sasuke said while walking towards the door.
"So you do like someone" Naruto exclaimed while looking at Sasuke walking. Sasuke slammed the door as he walked out the door.
"I wonder who it is that he likes." Naruto thought to himself.
As Sasuke was walking he kept thinking about what Naruto asked him. Are you...gay? Sasuke shook his head. "That baka...that was the dumbest question that I've heard" Sasuke said to himself as he frowned. As he was walking he bumped into Hinata. "I'm sorry" Hinata said as she walked away but Sasuke grabbed her arm.
Hinata looked up at Sasuke in surprise. "Oh Sasuke-san it's just you" Hinata said. "JUST me, I bet if it were Naruto she'll be blushing like there's no tomorrow" Sasuke thought to himself as he looked at Hinata and gave her a small smile.
"What are you doing out here?" Sasuke asked the Hyuuga girl. "I just wanted to get some fresh air that's a-all" she exclaimed.
Sasuke smirked. "Sakura's that annoying, huh?" the raven haired boy asked with a smirk on his face. Hinata blush of embarrassment.
"No-No that's not it, I just wanted some alone time that's all" Hinata replied. Sasuke just looked at Hinata and noticed that she didn't seem as nervous at all. Sasuke smirked.
"Sasuke-san..." the Hyuuga girl started.
Sasuke looked at Hinata with his cold eyes. "What?" he asked.
"Umm...never mind" Hinata turned her attention to the ground. Sasuke looked at her with one eyebrow being cocked up.
"No tell me" Sasuke said while looking at Hinata. Hinata not looking up at Sasuke continued to look at the ground. "It's nothing really" Hinata exclaimed. Sasuke wanted to know what she was going to say but decided not to pressure her into telling him.
Sasuke looked at Hinata's facial features and notice how pretty she was. "I've never really paid her any attention before when it came to her appearance but Hinata is actually really beautiful" Sasuke thought to himself as he stared at Hinata. Hinata noticed that Sasuke was staring at her and he seemed to be in deep thought. Of course the Hyuuga blushed at how long the raven haired ninja was staring at her.
"Ano…Sasuke-san" Hinata said while looking at Sasuke while still having a blush on her face. Sasuke snapped out of his trance and looked at Hinata who was looking at him a puzzled way while having a shade of pink across her cheeks.
Sasuke turned his head away from Hinata as he felt the heat from his cheeks rise. It was an awkward silence between the two as they stood there.
"I wonder where Hinata-san went off to." Sakura said to herself as she was walking to the hallway. Sakura looked up to see Naruto walked towards her. "Sakura-chan" Naruto said as he walked towards Sakura.
Sakura smiled at Naruto as he was walking towards her. "Hey where is Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked while looking around Naruto seeing no sign of Sasuke. "Umm…he seemed pretty mad about something so he left the room earlier so I haven't seen him. Sakura glared at Naruto. "Did you say something to Sasuke-kun, Naruto" Sakura asked in a demanding tone. Naruto shook his head. "No all I did was ask him who does he like and he just left the room" Naruto exclaimed. Sakura blushed at what Naruto said.
"…Well did who he said that he likes" Sakura said while blushing. Naruto looked at Sakura and could tell she was hoping the he would tell her that Sasuke likes her but he wasn't going to lie to Sakura they telling her that.
"No he wouldn't tell me…but it's not you" Naruto said while looking at Sakura's facial expression. Sakura eyes saddened. "How do you know it's not me for sure Naruto" Sakura asked. "I asked him and I practically named all of the girls that likes Sasuke including you but he said it wasn't none of the girls I named" Naruto said while looking at the ground. "…Sasuke-kun…"Sakura thought to herself.
"Where's Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked while looking at Sakura. Sakura shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure, she said she wanted to get some fresh air and with that she left" Sakura replied.
"Hey Sakura-chan have you ever noticed how weird Hinata-chan is, I mean she's always looking away from me and blushing whenever I look at her" Naruto asked Sakura. Sakura stared at Naruto for awhile before answering.
"He's got to be the densest person that I've ever seen" Sakura thought to herself as she continued to stare at Naruto. "Naruto it's so obvious that it's staring you in the face" Sakura said.
"Huh?" Naruto said densely. Sakura sighed. "What I'm about to tell practical everyone back in Konoha knows" Sakura started. "Everyone" Naruto thought to himself.
"She has a crush on you of which you are completely unaware of, and interestingly, Hinata-san is one of the few females that are in Konoha who does have not expressed romantic interest in Sasuke-kun, but rather in you Naruto" Sakura said while looking at Naruto who was staring at her in disbelief.
"Hinata-chan likes me…"said as he looks at Sakura. Sakura nods her head as she was smiling.
As Sasuke and Hinata were both walking they both spotted Sakura and Naruto ahead talking. Hinata felt the heat the on her cheeks rise while she was looking at Naruto. Sasuke over at Hinata and noticed that she was blushing. As they came closer and closer towards Naruto felt his heart beating faster and faster as Hinata approached them.
"Sasuke-kun" Sakura said cheerful. Sasuke gave her a cold look before glancing at Naruto who was staring at Hinata. Sasuke looked at Naruto and to Hinata they both were blushing while they starting to look at the ground. Sasuke stared at Naruto for a while before looking at Hinata.
"Well we better be getting some sleep…come on Hinata-san" Sakura said snapping Hinata out of her trance and also Naruto out of his. Hinata nodded her head.
"G-Goodnight Naruto-kun and Sasuke-san" Hinata said while bowing to them. Sasuke just nodded. "…Goodnight Hinata-chan…" Naruto said while looking at Hinata. Hinata blushed before walking off with Sakura back to their room.
As they made it back to their rooms Hinata couldn't get Naruto out of her mind.
"Something about him today change…the way he was looking at me, I never seen him look at me like that before" Hinata thought to herself while closing her eyes.
Meanwhile in Sasuke and Naruto's room
"…Hinata-chan is likes me…" Naruto thought to himself. Naruto couldn't get the words out his head at all. Naruto stared up into the ceiling. Sasuke looked at Naruto and could tell that he was in deep thought.
"Hey Naruto" Sasuke said. Naruto turned his attention to the raven haired boy who was sleeping in the other bed next to his bed. "You're being awfully quiet" Sasuke said while looking up at the ceiling. Although Sasuke did enjoy Naruto being quiet for once in a while but there was something that Naruto wasn't telling him and he had a feeling that it was about Hinata.
"It's just that…well…Hinata-chan likes me and I…" Naruto started. Sasuke looked at Naruto in shock. "Does he like her back or something" Sasuke thought as he looked at Naruto. "I think that I…well…never mind I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this" Naruto said as he turned around with his back facing Sasuke. Sasuke glared at Naruto for a while.
"So you like Hinata-san?" Sasuke asked nonchalantly. Naruto froze completely when he heard Sasuke ask him that. "Why would you say that? I never said I liked Hinata-chan where did you hear that they're lying because I don't" Naruto said while blushing. Sasuke grunted.
"Nobody said anything I could tell just by the way you were looking at her earlier" Sasuke replied. Naruto froze. "So you just realized that you liked her" Sasuke asked while glaring at Naruto. Naruto nodded his head. Sasuke continued to glare at Naruto.
"Remember earlier what you asked me?" Sasuke asked Naruto.
"Yeah" the blonde hair ninja replied. "There is someone that I'm starting to like" the raven haired boy responded. "Really who is it?" the hyperactive ninja asked.
"Hyuuga Hinata" he said and with that he went to sleep. Naruto eyes widened when he heard Sasuke say that. It wasn't like Sasuke to come out and tell something like that to somebody that he liked someone but he wanted to let the hyperactive ninja to know that he did like Hinata. "He likes Hinata-chan? Is that why he's always staring at her…humph well I'm not going to let Sasuke get to her before I do" Naruto thought to himself.
The Next Day
When Sasuke awoke the next morning Naruto wasn't in the room. Of course in didn't give it too much thought so he went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Meanwhile Sasuke was in the shower Sakura, Hinata and Naruto were already dressed and sitting down eating breakfast together.
"Sasuke-kun hasn't came down yet, it isn't like him to sleep in like this" Sakura exclaimed. Naruto frowned when he heard Sakura mention Sasuke's name.
"Remember earlier what you asked me?" Sasuke asked Naruto.
"Yeah" the blonde hair ninja replied. "There is someone that I'm starting to like" the raven haired boy responded. "Really who is it?" the hyperactive ninja asked.
"Hyuuga Hinata"
Naruto shook his head trying to forget it as he looked at Hinata. Hinata looked away from Naruto when he looked at her as she blushed. Naruto smiled while he continued to look at Hinata.
Sakura looked at Naruto and Hinata and noticed that they both were blushing. Sakura smiled as she watched the two but her smile became even bigger when she saw Sasuke walking towards their table.
"Sasuke-kun you're finally awake" Sakura gleamed. Sasuke said nothing as he continued to walk towards the table as he pulled up a seat next to Sakura. Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"At least he didn't try to sit next to Hinata-chan" Naruto thought to himself as he continued to glare at Sasuke. Sasuke noticed that Naruto was staring at him but he just ignored him. "Sasuke-kun aren't you going to eat?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not really hungry" he replied while he glanced up looking at Hinata who was eating. Sasuke was starting to like Hinata but not that that much like the way Sakura liked him, he wasn't going to let it be noticeable that he does like her …not yet that is.
As everyone finished eating they all got up from they're seats and started walking out since it was they're last day staying at the inn they walked out continuing they're mission until two ninjas approached them in the forest. The four ninjas glared at the two ninjas as the stopped in front of them.
"You're ninjas from Konoha am I correct?" the taller ninja asked while glaring at Hinata and Sasuke.
"Who wants to know?" Naruto asked while glaring at the taller the ninja.
Both ninjas made grunt noise as they both decided to introduce themselves. "I'm Asano" the taller ninja replied. "And I am Heijiro" replied the shorter ninja.
"What to you want with us" Sakura asked in a demanding tone.
"We don't want anything with you three" Heijiro said while glaring at Sakura and Naruto and Sasuke
"It's the Hyuuga that we want" Asano said while grinning in a devious way at the Hyuuga. "Hinata-chan, what do they want with her?" Naruto thought to himself as he stared at Hinata.
"What do you want with Hinata-san?" Sakura demanded. Heijiro grinned at Hinata. Sasuke glared at the two ninjas. Hinata didn't know want to do and she didn't who why these two ninjas were order to kill her. Hinata stared at the predicament that they were in as her eyes widened.
"You're father is Hiashi am I correct?" Asano asked while still glaring at Hinata. Hinata nodded her head as she continued to look at the ninja.
"You're father killed our father the ambassador from the Lighting country he tried to reveal that the intention of the "treaty" which was to get into the Fire country and acquire the secret of Byakugan" Asano said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Want do you want with Hinata-chan, she's not the one who killed your father" Naruto yelled as he glared at the ninjas. "But by killing her we will be avenging our father and her father will feel the same pain as we did when he killed our father" Heijiro explain while frown while he looked at the Hyuuga with disgust. Both Heijiro and Asano hated all Hyuuga's after what they did to their father and wanted to anything to make them suffer.
"Well you're going to get by me first if you want Hinata-chan" Naruto replied as he stood in front of Hinata in a protective matter. "And me" Sakura said as step in front of Hinata. Sasuke also step in front Hinata.
Both Asano and Heijiro looked at each as they grinned at each other. "Very well then" they both said as they ran towards the Konoha ninjas. Heijiro ran towards Naruto as Asano ran towards Sasuke and Sakura.
Naruto grinned as Heijiro ran towards him. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" Naruto yelled as he formed five other Naruto's. Heijiro stopped and looked in amazement but snapped out of his trance as he pulled out his Nagakama. "You think you're going to slow me down with a few measly clones…you thought wrong" Heijiro said as he ran towards Naruto's clones swinging his Nagakama at each clones. 'Poof' "One" 'Poof' "Two" 'Poof' "Three" 'Poof' "Four" 'Poof ' "And Five" Heijiro said as he grinned as he finished hitting all of Naruto's clones. Naruto looked at Heijiro as he made an angry expression.
"I'm not going to let them get her" Naruto thought to himself as he glared at Heijiro as he made more clones but this time he made even more.
Asano glared at Sasuke and Sakura. "And the two of you mere children think that you can stop me?" Asano said while smiling in a devious way. "CHILDREN, you look no older than us" Sakura yelled.
"Humph" Asano grunted. Sakura was right both Asano and Heijiro were close in age with them. Asano was thirteen years old while Heijiro was only eleven years old. Asano was tall with black spiky hair and grey eyes while Heijiro had longer black hair than his older brother and he too also had grey eyes.
Asano ran towards Sakura as he pulled out his Steel Whip attempting to hit Sakura with it but Sasuke threw his Shuriken at it so it couldn't hit her. "He stopped my Steel Whip with a mere Shuriken" Asano thought to himself as he glared at Sasuke.
"What is that thing?" Sakura asked Asano while looking at the Steel Whip.
"It's a Chinese weapon called bien tzu or lien tzu chiang, made of links of chain. It can be wound up and easily hidden. It is used to strike, wrap or sweep the opponent. An expert like me can use this as a sword or a staff or to block, parry, disarm, and perform other techniques" Asano said while grinning in a devious way. Sasuke and Sakura looked at Asano in shock.
"Well whatever it is you're still not going to get through us" Sakura exclaimed. Hinata stood behind Sasuke as she watched them defeating her. Hinata wanted to help, she like the fact that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were protecting her but she didn't want to just stand there watching them fight while she does nothing.
Sasuke looked over at Hinata. "It's okay Hinata-chan we'll protect you" Sasuke said while giving Hinata a confident smile. Hinata looked at Sasuke in shock, she didn't know if it was because what he just told her or if it was because he just called her Hinata-chan not Hyuuga-san or Hinata-san but Hinata-chan. Sasuke turned back around to face Asano.
"Gōkakyu no Jutsu" Sasuke yelled as he did his Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique on Asano.
Meanwhile back to Naruto's fight with Heijiro, Heijiro struggled to keep from falling because he knew he was losing. "Oh can I be losing to someone like him…I am one of the strongest people along with my brother in my village and I'm fighting with someone with this caliber who is beating me" Heijiro thought to himself as he glared at Naruto.
"I'm giving you a chance to give up now or else" Naruto said while he glared at Heijiro. Heijiro shook his head. "I'm never going to give up…no…matter what" Heijiro said while panting. Naruto creates another clone as it stands right next to him.
"Odama Rasengan" Naruto yelled as he attacked Heijiro. Heijiro fell to the ground unconscious. Naruto looked at Heijiro lying on the ground as he soon turned his attention towards Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata.
"Gōkakyu no Jutsu" Sasuke yelled as he watched the fire die down he noticed that Asano was no where to be found. "What!" Sasuke said as he looked around for Asano only to find him behind him holding a knife to Hinata's throat. Sasuke looked at Asano with an angered expression as did Naruto while Sakura looked at him with a shocked expression.
"It looks like you let you guard down" Asano said while grinning.
"Let her go" Naruto said while growling as he walked towards Asano. "I wouldn't come any closer if I were you unless you want to see your precious girlfriend dead" Asano said while holding the knife closer to her throat. Naruto continued to growl.
"Girlfriend?" Both Sasuke and Sakura thought as they looked at Naruto who wasn't any attention to them and wasn't taking his eyes off of Asano.
Be sure not to get in anyone's way
Hinata couldn't get those words her father said out of her head. She decided to act against his words to prove to herself and her father that she wouldn't be in anyone's way. Hinata did a Judo shoulder throw as Asano fell down on the ground in front of Hinata. Asano quickly got up glaring at Hinata.
"So you finally decided to fight back" Asano said while smiling at Hinata. Hinata looked at Asano in determined way. "You look at me like you're really confident about this fight…almost like you're going to win even though you're not" Asano smirked as he ran towards Hinata.
"Byakugan" Hinata said as Asano ran towards her. Asano punches while Hinata blocks with a knife hand block. Asano punches a second time, while Hinata blocks. Asano punches a third time and Hinata blocks and counter attacks this time with a punch to Asano's stomach. Hinata cock her arm in preparation for another blow from Asano as Hinata finishes the attacker with a second punch this time to the face. Asano slides back but he never fell to the ground. Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke all watched Hinata fighting Asano and all very shocked and amazed even more so then the last time she fought the other ninjas a few weeks ago.
"You bitch you punched me in the face" Asano hissed as he glared Hinata while holding his cheek. "Hey don't you ever call Hinata-chan that you bastard" Naruto yelled as his eyes began to turn red. Sakura stared at Naruto in shock as she looked at Sasuke whose eyes changed to Sharingan as he too was glaring at Asano. Asano looked at both Naruto and Sasuke in frightened way.
Naruto ran towards Asano punching him continuous in the stomach as he did a knee strike to Asano's face, then Sasuke ran towards him doing a Hooking kick to Asano's face causing him to fall to the ground.
Both Hinata and Sakura looked at Sasuke and Naruto in shock as both of they eyes changed back normal. Naruto walked towards Hinata.
"Hinata-chan that was really awesome…you're awesome" Naruto said while grinning at her. Hinata looked at Naruto while blushing.
"Naruto-kun…"Hinata said while she was smiling while blushing. Sasuke was just about to walk over to Hinata but Sakura grabbed his arm. "Sasuke-kun you're leg it's cut" Sakura exclaimed. Sasuke stopped as he looked at his leg. "Here let me help you" Sakura said as she pulled out some bandages and ointment. "I'll be fine Sakura it's just a scratch, it's nothing to get worry about" Sasuke replied as he walked towards Hinata.
"Are you okay Hinata-chan?" Sasuke asked but before Hinata could answer Naruto cut her off.
"When did you start calling Hinata Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked while glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke ignored Naruto and continued to look at Hinata. "I'm fine Sasuke-san…thank you for protecting me Sasuke-san, Naruto-kun and Sakura-san I really owe you" Hinata said while blushing.
They all smiled at Hinata. "There's no need to repay us Hinata-san we were just doing what we should be doing…protecting a friend" Sakura said as she gave Hinata a big smile. Hinata blushed as she too smiled.
They both looked at Asano and Heijiro and noticed that they were no longer lying at the same spot where they were. "I wonder were they run off to." Sakura asked. "Who knows and who cares, right Hinata-chan" Naruto said while giving Hinata one of his foxy grins. Hinata giggles as she nods her head. Sasuke glares at Naruto.
He wanted to get closer to Hinata but he knew that Hinata liked Naruto but he was just going to have to find a way to get her to like him.
