Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Last time:

"The rule for having children is now weakening. I'm sure you've been waiting for this too, right?"

It was true; he had been waiting for her 23rd birthday. He smirked. "As you wish."

A New Mission

That night would have to be one of the best. They were made Head of the Hyuga clan and they…celebrated in their way. Their want for it was finally achieved. They slept in their own bedroom; soon they would move into a larger, it was only one of the privileges they received. More of them would come along as time went on.

Naruto, who already had Hinata in his arms moved closer to her and kissed her hidden forehead. She was shorter than him, making him think of her as a living teddy bear, not in a bad way though but the way little kids loved to play and cuddle them. That was how he felt. How he loved to cuddle her during the night.

He felt her stir beneath him, making him groan in displeasure. He wanted a few more minutes together like that.

"Why are you groaning?" she asked.

"I wanted you to stay still for a little while longer. I was just getting comfy."

There was silence. Naruto didn't mind, at least he had more time to stay in the position they were already in. Hinata, started to think. She thought of many things, about her past and Naruto's past. Why? Only Lord knew. Suddenly, she thought of Naruto's childhood, when he was out in the streets, alone, being beaten up by every one just because he was the container of Kyubi.

"I know you are the container of the Kyubi but why were you beaten up for it? The villagers should think of you as a hero," she said in a quiet voice.

He only tightened his grip, making Hinata feel more secure. "They didn't understand, that's why. Most of them must've lost a special person and because they knew Kyubi was inside me, they turned their rage to me. Besides, I should be thanking them. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be having a dream to follow."

Hinata kept silent from there. She found it horrid for people to treat a young boy but she understood how they felt, to lose a special person. Yes they would've had to take out the sorrow some way but to attack a small innocent boy…that was not right.

They stayed together, mentally comforting each other. It soothed Hinata greatly to feel her husband's arms around her. It made Naruto smile to have Hinata his. But that was all ruined when someone knocked on the door. It was Neji.

"Hinata-sama, Naruto-sama, Tsunade wants you two in her office as soon as possible."

They both got up and prepared themselves to meet up with Tsunade. Naruto had hoped for it to be a mission as Tsunade had recently called for him only to tell him a few things. They left the building and leaped through the village until they arrived at the Hokage Tower.

"Yo, Tsunade-baachan, what's up?"

"I have just received information that Sasuke left to see Orochimaru for power. I've already sent Jiraiya to investigate."

"Why did we need to know that?" Naruto asked.

"Because since you are most likely to become the next Hokage, you need to know. If he attacks to get Hinata while you're in power, it would be a good thing that you knew and already had ninja ready to defend Konoha in case of war. Moving along now, I am giving the two of you a mission. The strongest clan in the Land of the Whirlpool is in need of help. The current Head needs to find her son to give him the position of Head. She is also a dying woman; you must find the clan and find her son. Once her son has been given the position, you may come back."

"What's the clan's name?" Hinata asked.

Tsunade laughed nervously. "Tonton ate it the piece of paper that had he information on it."

"That's the lamest excuse Baa-chan!"

"It's the truth!" She turned to Shizune for back up. Shizune nodded her head, confirming it was the truth. "Case closed. So, here is the route to get here. And before you ask on how to find the clan, ask around. Don't forget Tonton ate the information paper."

Naruto snatched the map from Tsunade's hand. He walked out the office mumbling to himself: "Old lady, can't do anything right. She looks to be 20 when she's actually-"

"Is there something you want to say?" she asked in the eeriest voice. He knew she had her fist ready to hit him.

"N-no."

With that, Naruto and Hinata left the office to Shizune, Tonton and a very pissed off Tsunade.

Naruto quickly made his way back home with Hinata walking behind him. When he was a good distance away from Tsunade, he finally slowed his pace. He sighed in relief, Tsunade wasn't following him and he was able to live a little while longer.

"You do know if you don't want to get flicked by Hokage-sama, then don't say bad things about her within a 50 metre radius. She has quite good hearing when it comes to being old."

"I can't help it. If she's going to be a klutz then that's what she'll get from me. Besides, she is old, somewhere in the late 70s or something like that."

"I guess so."

"Let's forget about Tsunade-baachan okay? We have a bit of packing to do."

Within half an hour, they were ready to leave for the Land of the Whirlpool. They left from the East Gate. A good sized boat was waiting for them at the shore. Naruto was excited but at the same time, disappointed. They were only looking for a missing son; at least it was a mission though. As for Hinata, she felt sick at the though of the sea. She her foot hold and bumped into Naruto, startling him.

"Hinata, you alright?" he asked.

She held his arm for balance. Once she regained her balance, she answered, "I'm fine."

"Okay then, let's go!"

She smirked to herself, sensing the two had left Konoha. 'Naruto, you will get a big surprise. Tell me everything once you get back.'

Chapter 2 is finished! Okay, as I am almost finished with the new characters for the continuation of the 'Undying' Trilogy, I'd like to thank RasenganFin and Innocence Is A Virtue for helping me decide the pairings and names.
By the way, I have just released a oneshot story about Sasuke and Sakura. The name is 'Torn to Pieces'. I think it's my best oneshot story yet.
Thanks and please review!
