Dear Naruto,
I'm glad you liked my letter. Reading about your reactions made me laugh. Since you never said if you wanted to stay in touch, I'll stop writing. I'm kidding! Please stay in touch! From the way you reacted, I think that it's safe to say you don't mind if we continue writing each other, hehe.
I told everyone you said hi, and that you'd never gotten a letter before, so don't be surprised if your friends start writing you too. It's amazing you're being taught by one of the Sanin, even if he's weird. Tsunade-sama said he better not corrupt you, but refused to explain. She forgot that I'd be writing you and you could explain though!
It's been quiet in town. I told my team this, and Shino said that 'The sound level is in the acceptable range of normal.' He needs to relax, or we'll have to make him an honorary Hyuga! Oh, Lee and Sakura-san say to be safe, but to train hard because they're training hard too. I'm sure Kakashi-san meant to say hi, he was busy reading a book though and just nodded.
Are all your teachers strange? I asked him what the book was about, and he started giggling. It was really strange because Sakura hit him when he started to explain what it was about, and then she said not to listen to him. And then she dragged Kakashi-san away muttering something about perverts.
Oh, and Sincerely is just a friendly way of saying you mean what you wrote, it's usually how you end a letter. You can write other things if you like also.
Your friend,
Hinata
P.S. (This is how you add something to a letter you forgot.) I shouldn't need to say this also, but since you tend to take training to the extreme... Be careful and don't overdo your training!
Dear Hinata,
Heh, you guys know me too well. Training isn't too hard, but it's really tiring and frustrating sometimes. For the past couple weeks I've been working on summoning toads, and some of them don't like being summoned without a real reason. It sounds easy, but it takes certain amounts of chakra to summon specific ones. And Gamatatsu always demands snacks every time I summon him on purpose or accident. That happens a lot. I didn't understand most of it, but Ero-Sensei says I'm more attuned to him than the others so I summon him the easiest. At this rate I might need a loan to buy more snacks for him.
And so far, it seems like all my teachers are strange, as in they're all great big perverts. Let's see... Iruka-sensei was a closet pervert, I'm sure you remember how he freaked out at my 'sexy jutsu'. Ebisu was only my sensei for about an hour, but he was the same way as Iruka-sensei. Kakashi reads the Icha-Icha paradise series... constantly. I'm pretty sure that's how he got so fast, running away from women who got mad about that.
And then there's Ero-sensei. He's a self proclaimed 'super pervert'. He writes the Icha-Icha books, peeps on women every chance he gets, and even introduces himself as a pervert. I'm surprised old lady Tsunade hasn't killed him for it yet. So yeah, all my teachers have been strange. I pray that Jiraya's bad habits don't rub off on me. I don't want to be hated by women like he is.
Your friend, (I like that better than sincerely)
Naruto
P.S. (That's cool too.) I got a package from someone, all it had in it was a bag of chips and no sender, but I think it was Choji that sent it. Tell him thanks, and if I find any cool food I'll send some to him also.
Dear Naruto,
Choji said he sent a letter when I asked about the chips, then he looked really confused, and Shikamaru said he probably ate the letter and mailed the chips! We were laughing about it, at least until we seen the look on Choji's face. We thought we hurt his feelings, but it was okay, he thought it was funny too and was just excited about being sent food from faraway places! And he eventually found the letter, so you'll be getting that soon too. Well, his mom found it when doing laundry. He apparently stuck it in his pocket and set the bag of chips on Tsunade-sama's desk, so she mailed it.
Tell Gamatatsu I said hi, and not to be too upset if you don't always have snacks for him since you're not always near town. I didn't know much about the Toad summons, well, other than the fourth summoned them, so I asked father about them. He said the Toad summons are really, really strong and rarely accept summon contracts. It's so incredible that you've got a contract with them. I guess you already know this, but it's just so neat that I had to fill you in on what he said.
I asked Kurenai-sensei about the books Kakashi-san always reads. I've never seen her so mad before. Thankfully she wasn't mad at me. Then Kiba said he's read them and they were pretty good. Big mistake. We had to listen to a long lecture about perverts and the 'slow degradation of society's morals'. She left afterwards, said she had to put a stop to something. Kiba said he'd let me borrow his books sometime. He was blushing though, so I don't know if that's a good idea or not.
Tsunade-sama said that you were going to be away from towns for a while and won't get this for a couple weeks, so I might write again before you even get a chance to read this. And don't worry, I would never hate you, even if you did take after your Sensei.
Maybe I will write again after we get back from our next mission, we're heading to Iwa on an escort mission.
Stay safe!
Hinata
Dear Naruto,
That mission... was horrible. We had to go Iwagakure to escort a Konoha merchant back home. The entire time the man, Kentsuki, kept hitting on Kurenai-sensei and telling dirty jokes. I don't know how she tolerated it. He kept looking at me also at first, until Sensei said something to him and he stopped. Mostly.
I never really understood what people meant by saying they felt dirty when being stared at or being watched with perverted eyes. I do now though. He'd keep staring at well, everywhere but my face, and it was uncomfortable, even when he wasn't looking at me I could still feel his gaze, and I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. I don't know how to describe it really, it's just... Ick! Please don't ever be like that! Just kidding again, I know you wouldn't.
Anyway, we got attacked by bandits on the way back. Well, would be bandits. There were three of them and they weren't ninja, so we took care of them easily. Kiba and Shino each killed one, but the last one tried to sneak up on me from behind. Guess he didn't realize I'm from the Hyuga. I kicked backwards when he was right behind me, and it didn't kill him but broke several ribs. So we not only had to deal with Kentsuki, but we decided to take a wounded prisoner back also.
Do you remember Ibiki Moreno, the scary scarred guy from the chunin exams? He said he might have a mission for us, just as soon as he found out if the one we brought back had other friends. Hopefully he doesn't. I really don't like extermination missions, even if they are necessary sometimes.
I need to get some sleep, so I'm going to stop writing for today. And you have a lot of reading to do when you finally do receive these, sorry about that.
I might read a chapter two out of the books Kiba loaned me, for some reason he made me promise not to tell anyone where I got them from, like he's embarrased about them, but I figured you'd be okay to tell. I'll finally learn why everyone makes it a big deal about them. So Shhhh! don't tell anyone! Hehe!
Good Night,
Hinata
"You perverted bastard!" Naruto still hadn't touched his dinner when looked up from reading and glared at Jiraya.
"What? Did I do something? More than usual anyway?"
"Hinata-chan is reading your stupid perverted books! She doesn't need to be reading those!"
"They're works of art! And I can't control who reads them! If you didn't want her to read them, you should have specifically told her not to!"
"I did!"
"No, you only told her I wrote them and... Ah... Damn..." Jiraya trailed off, realized he'd slipped up.
Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "And just how did you know we'd talked about that? You... Damn pervert! Stop reading my letters!"
"I can't help it! They could be a source of inspiration for a book! Two lovers writing each other from far away, telling each other what they're doing, like long distance foreplay! And then, when they finally meet, they-"
"It's not like that! ARGHHH! Freaking nosey pervert!" Naruto walked away, waving his hands in the air and angrily stomping his feet as he did so.
"Jiraya the Sage?" A messenger walked up and handed Jiraya a lavender envelope.
"Yeah, that's me. But just take it to the boy, it's from his friend."
"No, this one's addresed specifically to you."
"Bwahaha!" Jiraya had an enormous smile after he read it, and tucked the letter into a pocket. 'Since it's not to him the boy doesn't need to know about this one. Seems I have a new fan.'
Dear Jiraya-sama,
After hearing several people talk about your books and giving them such wonderful yet vague praise, I decided to read the Icha-Icha series. I'm ashamed to say this, but after a couple chapters I was unsure and almost stopped reading. But then suddenly I just couldn't stop. I simply had to know what happened next! I absolutely loved the way the characters developed their feelings towards each other, their issues and problems they worked through, they were just so lifelike and believable. And their intensity, their passion, it swept me away!
Your newest one, Icha-Icha Distance, I love it! Even though it's only one book, it's by far my favorite! The way the heroine cared for and watched over the man who at first didn't notice her feelings, it really struck a chord in me. I really hope you decide to write more for that series, I can't wait to find out what happens next.
Sincerely,
A fan
