Last time:

"Then, that means, I'm a part of that clan."

With the sea breeze hitting against his face and happy passengers, he couldn't help but join in with the smiling frenzy.

Stormy Seas and a Peaceful Land

She spewed once again, thinking of if it was possible. She was certain she wasn't seasick. For a second, she felt kind of sorry for the fish that had to put up with her. It was only for another few hours and there would be no more. She thought of the night they celebrated. They did it because she was almost old enough to do it and if she did get pregnant, they wouldn't get into any trouble. Her attention switched to Naruto. Did he see her vomit or not?

Naruto, this time didn't seem to notice. He was talking to Kaizu like an old friend. She was glad he didn't see her as she was certain she was bearing a child. She never intended to have a child yet but it made her happy to think of holding their child in her arms. They wouldn't get into trouble for having a child anyway. By the time it would be born, it would be around August and she would already be 23 as well. The thought bearing a child didn't bug her but telling Naruto did. She thought of how he may react once she told him. Would he be happy? She also needed time to think of what to say and what to do in the future. Walking slowly, she entered their room.

In the corner of his eye, he watched Hinata. He knew what was going on and decided for her to tell him at the right time. He just hoped she didn't say it at the wrong.

"Oi, Naruto-san, are you listening to me?" Kaizu asked, annoyed.

"Yeah." Kaizu continued talking about how he moved to the shore with his mother and father and created a small business. As he babbled on about his story, Naruto looked carefully out in the distance. In the distance, land was seen. He asked Kaizu if it was the Land of the Whirlpool.

"Why yes, that's my home land!" He jumped with joy while Naruto prepared himself for the shock he was about to receive. "We'll be there in an hour or two. You'll love it there, I know you will!"

"I'm sure I'll like it too." He then walked away to inform Hinata of the news. He found her sitting on her bed playing with her fingers while staring at them. She looked troubled and didn't notice him come in.

"Hinata," he said.

No answer so he tried again. "Hinata."

She jerked her head back up in surprise. "Naruto, when did you come in?"

"Just then. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that we'll be arrived in an hour or two."

She listened to him but didn't answer. After he spoke, she continued to think of what to do. Naruto knew what she was doing but asked anyway.

"Oh nothing, I'm just wondering if we'll fail this mission," she lied. "I mean, we have failed quite a few before and father did seem upset."

"Okay, I get you when we arrive, is that fine?"

"Super," she answered. So Naruto left her as she continued thinking.

Outside, Naruto watched as the island came closer to them. He thought of many things, Hinata, his parents, Kyubi, Konoha and more relating to his past. It was around half an hour later did he snap out of it. Kaizu was screaming out a warning.

"There are whirlpools ahead of us! Naruto-san, get Hinata-san and stick with her! This is going to be one heck of a ride!"

He quickly ran to their room once Kaizu's warning ended. Hinata was still sitting on her bed, troubled. Without warning, he slid his arms around her waist and held her tightly. She gasped in shock. It was quite sudden.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Whirlpools ahead," was his answer. Together, they waited for a sudden burst in speed. Curious, Naruto wanted to see what Kaizu was doing. "Hinata, can you stay here, hold tightly onto something until I get back," he yelled as the winds were strong and had blocked out their voices. Hinata nodded innocently so he left.

He saw two of him. It seemed to be a Kage Bunshin since it wasn't an illusion. The Kage Bunshin looked out into the distance and steered the boat. Kaizu was standing at the railing. He did his best to get to him as quickly as he could.

"Kaizu, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to keep the boat safe from the whirlpools." He formed hand signs and said the name of the technique. "Bubble Conveyor!"

Water from the sea gathered around the boat forming a bubble. It lifted the boat off of sea and into the air. The boat was slowly carried over the many whirlpools below them. Naruto looked over the edge and saw quite a few boats being sucked into the sea. As they were above the largest whirlpool, Kaizu's technique weakened. The bubble started to drip back into the sea as if it was melting ice. Kaizu strained himself to keep the boat up but failed. A hole was soon formed above them. As the hole got bigger and bigger, they dropped lower and lower towards the dangerous sea. They were still above the large whirlpool. If he didn't help, they would swirl to the bottom of the sea. Naruto rushed to his help. He concentrated chakra into his hands and the water came back up. They were rising back up again. The technique took out quite a bit of chakra out of Naruto, tiring him.

"Slowly absorb your chakra now or we'll land in the middle of the land!" he instructed. They both did so. The boat slowly lowered back into the water. After a few minutes of resting, the boat hit the shore.

"Naruto is it safe?" came a voice from their room.

"Yep, come out and enjoy the breeze while we rest for a while longer!"

Hinata came out to find the two men breathing heavily. Beads of sweat were seen on Kaizu's forehead.

"Hey Kaizu, why'd you ask me to keep Hinata safe?" Naruto asked.

"Because, I've rarely used that technique and the last couple of times, I failed. The boat fell to the water. Boy was it hard to steer the boat to safety! The passengers never came back to us for a ride. I thought it would happen again so yeah. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made it." They all heard a poof as the Kage Bunshin disappeared.

"What happened exactly?" asked Hinata, interrupting their conversation.

"Oh, I used Bubble Conveyor to take us safely to the Land of the Whirlpool. It's a technique that only the villagers know. It helps keep intruders away from our land."

"I guess we'll be going now," Naruto said as he stood, followed by Hinata. Kaizu led them off of the boat and onto land. The land was firm and made Hinata incredibly happy.

"I'll see you two soon, eh? Until then Hinata-san, Naruto-san, good bye."

"See you soon Kaizu."

"Yes and thank you for the ride."

They waved each other good bye until Kaizu could no longer see them. He turned to his boat and waited for a new passenger.

The sand they walked on was soft and brown. Naruto turned back to look at the sea before they entered the land. Where he was, the sun was high and shone brightly. While on the sea, there were many storms and whirlpools to keep intruders out. They were soon walked on a dirt path. It led them to an unprotected village. It was like a miniature size of Konoha. There just wasn't any Hokage Monuments. They walked until villagers were visible. Laughter from little kids was easily heard. There was a smile on everyone's faces. There wasn't a single sole that was poor or ultimately rich and powerful. It settled it, this village was peaceful, happy one, almost like Konoha.

"If only this was Konoha," Hinata commented.

"Yeah, I guess my clan has made a very good village."

They continued walking into the deeper parts of the Land of the Whirlpool. Naruto didn't know why but his feet took him there. They didn't stop until they met a large building, smaller than the Hyuga compound. It was guarded by red walls. There was a large gate, like the one at the private Hyuga land. On the poles next to it, it said "Uzumaki".

Chapter four is done! Okay, I've tried my very best to explain why Naruto and Hinata "celebrated". I'll try again just in case. Because it was only a week before Hinata's birthday, the rule to having kids has weakened. Due to that, Hinata was allowed to do "that" and if she did get pregnant, she would be old enough anyway. Don't worry; I got myself confused while writing that part. With that sort of explained, once again, please ask me any questions if you are confused and I will answer them unless their just plain stupid questions.

Also, just wanting to say, while I was away, I spotted a restaurant called the Minato Restaurant. It has a very good reason to be named that. Check an online dictionary if you don't know what minato means. Just sayinag. Okay, please review guys and girls!
