Hey guys! A miracle has occurred I stayed up for hours typing this incredible chapter for u how lucky are you guys! Anyways im going to explain a few minor spoilers so please skip this paragraph if u haven't watched shippuuden or read the manga. Anyways The fourth hokage is Naruto's dad. Naruto was named after a character in one of Jiraya's books. (Not a pervy one.) anyways the fourth was also known as the yellow flash for his high speed jutsu and his yellow hair. So that's a hint on what jutsu Naruto learned. Also for those who are worried about the Ino thing, don't worry! It will remain a NaruHina Ino is just there to make Naruto nervous and stuff. Oh and Hinata and Ino will become best friends. Hinata needs a girlfriend! ( not yuri! Perverts…) Ino and Naruto are so similar that I figured if Hinata loves Naruto then Ino would make a good friend for her. Shy and loud… opposites attract right? Anyways, enjoy this chapter as it is VERY long and I worked so hard on it!
KNOCK KNOCK
Hinata was awoken by someone obnoxiously pounding on her door.
"Hinata! Are you awake?"
Hinata rolled over and tried to ignore her cousin's loud voice. Suddenly, she bolted out of bed. I'm going to be late for the party!
On the other side of the door, Neji heard frantic movements and several drawers being shut. "Hinata? Are you OK?"
Instead of her reply, Neji heard the faint sounds of falling water. Neji fought to keep his curiosity restrained and his Byuakugan unactivated.
Hinata emerged from the room several minutes later, her hair dripping wet.
"Hinata… Did you just take a shower?"
"Yeah…"
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Yeah. I'm going to a reunion party for Naruto."
"Wait… Naruto's back?!"
Hinata smiled. "Yep! He arrived yesterday."
Neji stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Hmmm… I wonder if he has gotten stronger. I wonder who would win in a fight now…"
"Did you want to come along?"
"Actually, yes. I think this could be interesting…"
"Well… I'm going now. So I'll see you there." Hinata said and walked out of the complex.
Meanwhile, Ino was also getting ready for the party.
She got out of the shower and stood naked in front of her mirror. She made several poses, scrutinizing every aspect of her body, making sure it was perfect for Naruto.
She then put on her revealing swimsuit, wrapped herself in her usual bandages, and put on her purple skirt and shirt.
She checked herself once more in her mirror before walking out the door. She made a brisk pace, heading for the lake.
However, along the way, she saw Hinata walking in the same direction. She decided she should at least say hi.
"Hey, Hinata!"
"Hello, Ino. Are you ready for the party?"
"Damn right! I can't believe that we get to see Naruto in a swimsuit in only a few hours!"
'I'm e-excited too. I …uh… I actually saw him shirtless once."
"WHAT? You did? You have to tell me all about it!"
Hinata began to tell Ino the story of when Naruto took off his clothes doing the tree climbing exercise.
By the time she was done, they were already at the lake. It seemed like they were the first ones to arrive.
However, an hour later, everyone else had arrived. Except for Naruto, of course.
Sakura grumbled. "Late to his own party! That's Naruto for you!"
"What about me?" Naruto said from behind Sakura.
Sakura screamed. "H-How did you sneak up on me like that?"
"Hmm? I wasn't trying to… Maybe you need to be more alert…"
Sakura grinded her teeth in fury. "And you're one to talk! Since when did you know how to hide your presence like!"
"…Um … I guess Jiraya must have taught me something like that."
"Geez. Just what else did he teach you?"
"A bunch of stuff! But this one is my favorite!" Suddenly, Naruto vanished. Then, as quickly as he had disappeared, he reappeared with an Icha Icha book in hand.
"Look!" Naruto said, holding out the book. "This is Kakashi's favorite book!"
Sakura's jaw dropped. "H-How did you do that?"
Neji activated his Byuakugan. "That wasn't a teleportation jutsu! That was high speed movement!"
Lee suddenly looked interested. "That wasn't a jutsu? Which means… Naruto is that fast?!"
Naruto laughed. "Wanna race, Lee? Or are you scared of losing?"
Lee's eyes turned to flames. "I never back down! Let's see just how fast you are!"
"OK! First one to the ramen stand wins and you have to bring back chopsticks as proof. Ready? GO!"
Lee took off running at full speed towards the ramen stand. Naruto, however, didn't move a muscle.
"N-Naruto… Why aren't you running?" Hinata asked.
"I'm trying to make it fair. Tell me when you can see Lee at the ramen stand, please"
Hinata activated her Byuakugan. "He's already there. He is on his way back now."
"Seems like a fair head start." Naruto said and then disappeared. He reappeared seconds later, the chopsticks hanging out of his mouth.
Then, Lee came barreling past him. "Man! You really are fast! I can't believe I lost to you! I guess I'm going to have to double my training!"
"Hey wait a second!" Tenten said loudly. "Lee is wearing his weights! So that wasn't a fair race!"
"Well… Actually…" Naruto took of his headband. "Watch." He dropped the headband and it slowly plummeted to ground. However, when it hit there was a huge 'BOOM' and a large dust cloud filled the air.
Then he pulled up his pants and pulled off two leg-weights exactly like Lee's. He dropped them and the lake was filled with more dust and another loud explosion.
When the dust cleared, Naruto's friends stared at him in shock. There were several deep holes at his feet.
"NARUTO! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF?" Sakura screamed and threw a fist at Naruto's face. But he wasn't there. Sakura looked around only to see him standing behind her, a sheepish grin on his face.
"I feel sooo light!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"W-Why do you carry around so much weight, Naruto?" Hinata asked shyly.
"Actually it's not really a battle technique. It is used in conjunction with a rasengan. The rasengan has to make contact with the opponent for it to work and this technique allows me to close in on my opponent instantly. I call it the 'Instant-Rasengan'!"
"That really is amazing. You are sooo awesome, Naruto!" Ino yelled, causing Naruto to blush.
Meanwhile, Lee reached into the holes and tried to pull out Naruto's weights. "Holy crap, Naruto! This stuff is REALLY heavy! I don't think even I could carry it all at once!"
"Let me try!" Chouji said and stepped up to the holes. "Partial Expansion Jutsu! Both hands!"
Chouji's hands grew to ridiculous sizes and he plucked up all the weights. "Whoa! This stuff really is heavy!"
"Wow! I'm surprised you can pick it all up!" Naruto said. "It took me a year to do that! You really must be strong!"
"Yeah, but I can't even imagine running while wearing there weights! Are you even human?"
Naruto's shoulders sunk and his smile faded.
"Hey! Don't say that! It's rude!" Ino shouted in Naruto's defense. She knew what Naruto has inside of him and how much that comment must of hurt him.
Hinata, however, was surprised. Not only did Ino come to Naruto's defense, but she had even beat Hinata to it. Does she know about the fox? Hinata wondered to herself
"Sorry, Naruto. I didn't mean it like that." Chouji apologized.
Naruto put on his fake smile. "Don't worry! It's nothing."
Hinata recognized the fake smile and tried to make eye contact with him. However, it seemed he was avoiding her gaze.
Suddenly, Neji stepped forward. "If it's not a problem, Naruto… I would like to spar with you. I want to see just how far you have progressed."
Naruto grinned for real this time. "Sure!"
"H-Hey wait!" Tenten interrupted "Neji is the only jounin here! And Naruto is still a genin! Is this really a fair fight?
"Sure it is! Naruto kicked his butt in the Chunin Exams, didn't he? GO NARUTO!" Ino cheered.
Everyone backed off, giving the two rivals some space. Neji slid into his gentle fist stance while Naruto stuck his hands into his pockets.
Ino's eyes turned into hearts. "Naruto looks soo cool."
Hinata was thinking the same thing, but she managed to keep her thoughts in her head.
They all turned to the fight, each desperate to know who would win.
"Neji has got this one in the bag. Naruto doesn't stand a chance." Kiba said.
"Don't be so sure. All Naruto has to do is avoid Neji's gentle fist. And he certainly is fast enough."
"But Neji is a jounin. If he hits Naruto once, it's over. If Naruto slips off , is caught off-guard or loses his balance, Neji will strike and it will be over." Shino said quietly.
"Naruto won't mess up. Look at his face. He is serious about this fight." Hinata stated.
Suddenly, Neji leaped forward and reached out for Naruto's stomach. Naruto effortlessly reached out and caught Neji's arm.
Neji smirked. "You forget I can send out my gentle fist from any part of my body."
Naruto quickly pulled his arm back, but it was too late. Neji's chakra flowed through him, blocking his chakra points.
"That's OK! I can beat you with out using my chakra!"
"We will see about that! Eight trigram: 128 palms!" Suddenly Neji appeared in front of Naruto, his fingers flying at amazing speed.
However, Naruto swayed back and forth, moving with Neji's arms and dodging each one of his 128 strikes.
Neji pulled back and gaped at Naruto. "How did you dodge that?"
"That technique is pretty impressive! It's so fast it almost seems to stop time. But if I move faster than your eyes can follow, all you will see is my afterimage. You can't hit me with that technique."
Naruto grinned. I'm going to have to use some of the fox's chakra. "Now it's my turn to attack!"
Naruto dashed forward, however, as he got closer, Neji began to spin. When Naruto's fist made contact he was frozen in the whirl for a second.
"ROTATION!" Neji yelled.
Dust filled the entire battlefield. When it began to clear, Naruto was nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, Naruto exploded from the ground beneath Neji. However, Neji sidestepped and blasted Naruto with Eight Trigrams: 64 palms.
Naruto fell to the ground twitching.
Neji smirked. "Did you think you could win with the same attack as last time? Your confidence was your downfall."
POOF! Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"A clone?! But how?"
Then Neji felt a sharp point in his back.
"6 inches below the neck. The Byuakugan's only blind spot." Naruto said as he held a pair of chopsticks in Neji's back.
"H-How did you know about that?" Neji gasped.
Naruto laughed and twirled the chopsticks between his fingers. He walked over to his headband and strapped it back on. He held up a hand sign and his headband made a poof sound.
"Ah! That's better. I never did like training with all those weights. That's your thing Lee."
Lee, like everyone else, was too stunned to speak.
Dead last Naruto, the only genin in the rookie nine had just beaten the #1 rookie, Neji, the only jounin in the rookie nine.
Ino was the first one to recover. "You rock, Naruto!"
"Wait a damn minute. Explain to me how Naruto was able to dodge all those strikes!" Kiba shouted.
Hinata spoke up. " Naruto was moving so fast that the eye couldn't keep track of him. After Naruto moves he leaves an afterimage behind him. Therefore, Neji was aiming at the afterimage, not the actual Naruto."
"OK, but how did he make a clone after Neji blocked his chakra points?"
Hinata froze. "Uh… he … has … t-two chakras?"
"Oh please. No one has two chakras!" Kiba yelled.
"It's possible that Naruto hid it underground before Neji blocked his chakra." Shino explained.
"Like Naruto could think that far ahead!" Kiba laughed.
"Hey!" Ino and Hinata shouted at the same time.
"Stop fighting." Shino said monotonously
"Yeah. I think it's time for a swim!" Naruto said happily.
Ino and Hinata simultaneously began to blush. Finally it was swimsuit time!
"Ooooh, Narutooo!" Ino cooed. " I need help changing into my swimsuit. Want to come 'unwrap' me?"
Naruto blushed. "Actually I have to change into my swimsuit…"
"Next time then." Ino winked and pulled off her clothes. Hinata did the same thing.
"Whoa, Hinata. Nice swimsuit." Naruto said as he walked up to her. "It looks just like a rasengan mark!" He held up an imaginary rasengan and placed his palm on Hinata's stomach, giving Hinata a fierce blush.
But Ino refused to lose to Hinata. "How do you like my swimsuit?" She said as she thrust her chest into Naruto's face.
"Um… It's nice!" Naruto said, trying to be polite.
"Thanks! What about your swimsuit?" Ino asked.
"Oh! I almost forgot." Naruto reached down and began to take off his clothes, until only his swimsuit was left.
Hinata and Ino were fighting to keep their drool in their mouths. Naruto's body was covered with muscles. It was clear how hard he had been training.
"Wow, Naruto. Your must work out." Ino said
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Naruto caught himself staring at Hinata. He quickly looked away, but Ino happened to look up at him at the same time and their eyes locked.
He was so checking me out! Ino cheered in her head.
"So anyone up for a game of volleyball?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry, but Gai has a mission for us. We have to go." Lee said
"That sucks. Oh well… Anyone else?"
"Swim with you? Yeah right!" Kiba laughed. Neji, Shino and Shikamaru also said No.
"Some friends!" Naruto remarked. "I'll guess I'll just have to make a few shadow clones to play against!"
Naruto held up his hand sign and focused his chakra. Suddenly, A strange mark formed on Naruto's belly.
"Hey, Naruto… What is that?" Lee said, pointing to Naruto's belly.
"Hmm? Oh, that's my seal…" Naruto trailed off as he realized what he had just said.
"A seal? For what?" Neji asked.
Naruto looked around at his friends. They all were staring at his belly. His eyes met Hinata's and suddenly she understood. Oh no! Please don't!
Without warning, Naruto took off running into the trees.
"Wha- Where is he going?" Sakura asked, dumbfounded.
Hinata ran after him. She couldn't follow him, but she had an idea of where he was going.
She ran up to Hinata's Hill, just as the sun was beginning to set. She spotted Naruto sitting on the edge of the cliff.
"Naruto…?"
"Hey, Hinata. Guess my secret is out." Naruto said sadly.
"It doesn't have to be. Neji has a seal, too. No one treats him like a monster."
"No one really knows about it. Everyone is going to ask about my seal. I don't want them to think I'm a monster…"
"You are not a monster! You are a hero for saving the village from the fox!" Hinata said, trying to comfort her love.
Naruto smiled. "I'm not ready to tell them about that. I don't want to lie to them, but I don't want them to think differently about me.
"I know." Hinata said softly. She walked over and sat next to Naruto. "You don't have to tell them yet. Not if you don't want to."
Naruto sniffed. "Thanks, Hinata. I guess your right. You really are a great friend." He pulled Hinata into a deep hug.
Hinata blushed as she felt Naruto's bulging muscles against her skin. However, she managed to hug him back.
"Hinata, that reminds me! I have a present for you!" Naruto reached into the back pocket of his swimsuit.
" I found this in one of the villages I went to when I was with Jiraya." He held a silver ring. The crystal was sky blue.
"The crystal changes color in the sunlight." Naruto said and held it up to the light. The crystal sparkled and changed into a light lavender color. "It's the same color as your eyes."
Hinata began to silently cry. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. And Naruto had gotten it for her! It was the nicest thing anyone had done for her.
"T-T-Thank you so much. This means so much to me."
Naruto blushed. "It's nothing." He grabbed Hinata's hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.
However, Naruto was oblivious to marriage traditions and placed it on her left ring finger.
Hinata noticed this and sighed happily. She would never take it off. She leaned over and rested her head on Naruto's shoulder.
"Just like three years ago." Hinata whispered.
Naruto smiled and wrapped his arm around Hinata.
"I think you bested yourself again, Naruto. This is defiantly the best day ever."
Naruto laughed. "There are plenty more to come."
Hinata sighed again and closed her eyes. She wanted nothing more than a life filled with Naruto. She wished this day would never end.
But sadly, all good things come to an end. And they were going to come to an end fast.
