Kamiko's sharp eyes stared at the man, "How can I keep your secret if you cant keep it?" She hissed quietly as she threw her hands into the air, "Seriously," she growled as she began walking towards the pharmacist.

"Kamiko," Kakashi muttered as he reluctantly followed the frustrated woman, "What happened?" he asked, knowing the girl wasn't just frustrated with him.

Kamiko's eyes stayed focused ahead of her, "We need to hurry, I might need to help them." She muttered, more to herself than to the man behind her, "The nine tails' chakra can be intimidating." With wide eyes Kakashi picked up his pace, the faster they were done the quicker they could get back out to help Naruto.

EARLIER:

Hinata panted heavily as sweat covered her porcelain skin. Tamori held out a towel, a small smile crossing her lips, "Y-You're getting better," Tamori whispered as her smile grew.

Hinata's eyes fell to the ground, "I still don't have enough power," she whimpered quietly, using the towel to wash her face.

Tamori sat next to the woman, "Hey now," she whispered quietly. Hinata's eyes rose to the woman's crystal blue eyes, glimmering in the sun's light. "You have strength, with that power is irrelevant."

Confusion crossed Hinata's face as the woman gave a small sigh. "Hinata-chan," Tamori whispered shyly. "If you had a choice, who would you want to be like – anyone in the village." She asked full well knowing the answer. Hinata quickly looked away, blush clearly evident on her face as a small formed. Tamori could only smile back, "And why him?"

Hinata thought for a moment, pushing her own thoughts aside. Looking up to the clear blue sky, her voice became serene, "He has this will about him… when I'm with him, he makes me want to believe in his cause, to follow him even to the pits of hell. He's so much stronger than we are, but he makes us feel that strength too." She giggled softly, "He's kind, and strong, and never lets anyone down!" She chimed happily.

Tamori smiled, "And who would you least like to be?"

Hinata's brow frowned together, searching for the words, "Uchiha-san." Tamori's eyes sharpened at the name, memories flying back. She gave a nod, urging the heiress to continue. "He'll do anything to get his way, he's powerful and forceful," she paused and gave a nervous smile, "And honestly scary."

Tamori nodded, standing up holding her hand out for the woman, "Stand up?" she smiled politely. Hinata did, Tamori taking her hand softly and pulling her back out onto the Hyuuga training grounds. "Take your stance," Tamori muttered. Hinata gave a quiet whimper and took her stance once again; Byugakuan activated.

Tamori's lips parted, taking a deep breath as her eyes changed; mimicking the woman in front of her. "This… is power," she muttered as she touched Hinata's bicep, slowly stepping back in front of her. "What you fight with when you're angry, when you've lost control… when you don't care." She stepped closer, avoiding Hinata's palms, "But this…" she whispered as she pressed her palm against Hinata's chest, letting the thud of her heartbeat pound, "This is strength. What keeps you fighting, what you fight for, your will."

Tamori let her eyes return back to ice as she looked at the heiress with a whole hearted smile, "You will one day lead the Hyuuga clan… would you rather be a leader like Uchiha-san, or Naruto-sensei?" Hinata's eyes widened at the question, it was an easy answer. Tamori rose a brow and giggled, "Then notice how you used power and strength differently. Trust me, there is a difference in that type of leader."

Tamori's turned her back, walking back to her seat. Hinata's eyes widened, the sun highlighting the ragged scars across Tamori's back. "Tamori-chan…" Hinata couldn't help but smile as warmth filled her heart; completely understanding the message that the woman had given her. Running after the brunette Hinata smiled brightly, "T-Thank you for training with me."

Tamori's eyes widened as she gave a soft giggle, "I like training with you," she whispered softly, "Your bloodline… it relies on the inner nature of a person and since I can only take what you have, I get only good from it." Hinata's eyes widened, blush crossing her face at the comliment. "But I should go, your family will be home soon."

Hinata's eyes lowered, guilt washing over her, "I'm sorry that we cant train with them knowing."

Tamori's brow rose again, "You really are kind, Hianta-chan, but I-I know my place with the villagers."

"D-Do you mind if I walk with you?" Hinata asked quietly, her voice failing her, "So we can talk more?" Tamori couldn't help but smile, this woman was far from what she had expected.

Kamiko and Takemaru walked down the stone path from the academy. "What do you mean, I cant put that many weapons in a scroll?" Takemaru whined as he looked at Kamiko with begging eyes.

She shook her head, "Baka, you don't have enough chakra to release them all. Why put more than you can even take out."

"In case I want a different one!" Takemaru huffed as he shoved his hands in his pockets. Takemaru couldn't help but smile as the woman beside him shook her head; giving up the argument. "Oh look!" Takemaru smiled happily as his eyes rose, seeing Tamori and Hinata down the road, "Tamori's done training with Hinata-sama,"

Kamiko's eyes sharpened noticing the people between them. Tamori and Hinata were on the other side of the street, many people in between; the most important of which being Hanabi and a few other of the Hyuuga clan. "Takemaru… we might not want to go and see them." She muttered cautiously.

Takemaru waved her off, walking quietly to go see his teammate, Kamiko following at his side. Continuing to talk to Kamiko, Takemaru wasn't watching where he was going; his shoulder slamming into someone's as he passed.

Quickly turning around to apologize, Takemaru was met by the glaring white eyes of another Hyuuga heiress, "Watch it outcast." The woman sneered, "Arent you going to apologize?" the woman growled as she crossed her arms.

Takemaru's voice lowered, "I was until you were a total bitch about it," he pouted as his face became cross.

Hanabi's white eyes widened at the statement, "Excuse me?" She growled

Kamiko grabbed Takemaru's shoulder, her eyes piercing into his skull begging for him to back down. He only straightened his posture, "You bumped into me, you apologize."

Hanabi smirked, her eyes dark, "Why would I ever apologize to scum like you? You're lucky my family even allows outsiders like you in the village." She snapped darkly as she turned away.

Takemaru grinned, "I'm surprised the Hokage lets snobs like you stay in the village," he shot back quickly. Kamiko's eyes widened, a low hiss escaping her lips from the stupidity he was showing off. Hanabi turned around, her eyes pulsing with chakra.

Tamori's eyes sharpened feeling the raise of chakra, only to focus on her teammates standing face to face with one of the top ninja in their class. "Hinata-chan, y-your sister," she whispered quietly as they both turned to see the scene starting to unfold. "Sh-should we stop them?" she muttered as her shy façade began to fade.

Takemaru's eyes sharpened, "Do you want to fight Hanabi-chan," he provoked as he grabbed the handle of his scythe. Kamiko's eyes darkened, her whole body becoming defensive as tension filled the busy streets.

With his golden eyes locked on the young Hyuuga, Takemaru nearly drowned out the people walking throughout the street. Whispering as he stood toe to toe with one of the Hyuuga heiresses.

"We have to get Naruto-senei," Kamiko's eyes darted around the area, "He's either at the hospital or getting ramen," she groaned knowing both were too far for her to call for him. Another growl escaped Takemaru's lips as he tightened his grip, "Tamori-chan…" Kamiko whimpered quietly knowing Takemaru wouldn't back down. Looking over to the girl across the road, her eyes flickered; alerting her to what was about to happen.

Tamori's eyes widened, glistening as tears welled in her eyes. Quickly turning to Hinata she forced herself out of silence, "Take my hands," she whispered as fear gleamed in her eyes, "Take my hands and… n-no matter what, d-don't let go." Tamori looked down, holding out her palms. Hinata's eyes became determined as she grabbed Tamori's wrists. Never once had the woman asked anything of her until this point; and Hinata had every intention of giving the genin the simple request.

Hanabi took her stance, her eyes pulsing. Shit, shit, shit, Kamiko's eyes flashed silver as she rose her palm, her eyes only on Tamori.

Naruto laughed as he walked into Ichirachu's ramen stand, Sasuke following behind him, "You know, it's nice having you back for more than a few days, feels like a team again." He beamed happily.

Sasuke's eyes softened slightly, quickly turning away so he couldn't see. "I didn't notice," he muttered; trying hard to give his friend more than a few words.

They ordered while Naruto soaked in the surprise of a few more sylabols in a sentence, "You seem more protective of her than normal, teme," He muttered softly. Sasuke's fist clenching on the table, "Are you overreacting again?" Naruto teased as watched the Uchiha's reaction.

"Kakashi was in her bed," Sasuke growled quietly, only letting Naruto hear.

Naruto's eyes widened, "Well, they were training with my team," he muttered softly, quickly being distracted by the ramen in front of him.

Sasuke gave a nod, "So she said," he gave a low growl, his bangs falling over his eyes as he slowly picked up his chopsticks.

Naruto shook his head, patting the man's shoulder, "She's gonna get married one day," Sasuke's fist clenched again, shattering the chopsticks in his hand. "Teme," Naruto beamed, unable to control himself, "There's never going to be a guy that we both approve of. But if there was, wouldn't it be someone we already trusted?"

"Hm,"

"Teme!" Naruto growled, "Cant you ever agree with me?" The man shouted as he flailed his arms, the Uchiha at his side smirking. "Dammit, you know I'm right-" Naruto stopped. His eyes widened as his senses became flooded. Sasuke's eyes sharpened sensing the chakra as well. "No…" Naruto gasped out, breathless as he sensed Tamori's chakra reaching a height he had never allowed. "We need to go," Naruto growled, Sasuke already out of his seat, slamming money down on the table quickly leaving. "Teme, find her!"

Sasuke sneered, "If youre so scared of her power, you shouldn't have set her loose!"

"Not the time!" Naruto growled darkly as they ran through the streets. "she's there!"

Naruto and Sasuke both jumped down from the rooftops, eyes widening at the sight. On one side Tamori stood, silver chakra glowing around her, Hinata tightly gripping her forearms. Sasuke's eyes focused on her, Naruto's looking to the other side. Hanabi and Takemaru were already fighting, Kamiko standing between the two, her eyes pleading for him to help as the silver ring began overpowering the purple of her eyes. "Sensei! I cant control them all!" Kamiko called as her body shook, trying to restrain both Tamori's and Hanabi's chakra.

"What the hell is going on?" Naruto's voice boomed as he looked between his students.

Hearing his sensei's voice, Takemaru stopped, only to be hit by Hanabi's gentle fist. Her palm pressed against his chest, forcing chakra through his body; sending him feet back panting heavily. With Hanabi momentarily stationary, Kamiko's eyes focused on Tamori, restraining her chakra. Piercing sapphire eyes shot over to Kamiko, "Are you alright, Kamiko?" he asked coldly, a soft nod the only response he got from the woman. Naruto walked over to Takemaru, grabbing Hanabi's wrist as she lunged for another attack. "Enough," he growled looking down at the woman.

Hanabi's eyes widened, "Let go of me stupid fox!" She snapped darkly, frantic to get away from his touch.

Naruto's eyes widened, it had been so many years since he'd been called that. The name violently stirring inside him, Kurama clawing at his stomach in anger. "Uzumaki! What are you doing?" A cold voice called out, cutting through everyone. Hinata's eyes widened, her father stepping forward, "Let go of my daughter."

Takemaru whipped the blood off his lip with his fist, "She should apologize for being such a bitch!" he snarled at the dark haired man.

Sasuke looked down at the raven haired girl, "Kamiko, was it?" Kamiko nodded, confused on why the man was speaking to her, "Go to the hospital, get Sakura, now." Without another word, Kamiko had jumped to the rooftops, running as quickly as she could towards the hospital.

Hiashi stood with his arms crossed, staring at the quarrel before him. Darkness clouded his vision as the blonde hesitantly let go of Hanabi's wrist. Hinata's eyes were wide, her hands shaking at the sight of her father. His brow rose, "Someone should put you in your place," he growled as his brows frowned together.

Hinata's eyes widened, quickly jumping from her spot. Naruto's blue eyes glistened in the light, Hinata's dark hair brushing past his face as she stood in front of him, Hiashi's palm past her face. Wide white eyes stared into her sharp lavender ones, "I wont let you hurt Naruto-kun," she said firmly as she stared into her father's eyes. Their eyes pulsed, staring into each other, their gentle fist style stances holding, frustration evident in his eyes. Hiashi slowly lowered his arm, annoyance clear on his face, "N-Naruto-kun has done very much for this village, time and time again!" Hinata snapped, her eyes glistening with pride for the man.

Hiashi's eyes darkened, closing for a moment only to shoot open. A loud slap echoed through the streets, Naruto's eyes widening more as he watched the raven haired woman fall, her cheek crimson from the contact. Hiashi has slapped his daughter in front of the crowd that had begun to form. "That fox is the reason we went to war," he hissed darkly as his eyes turned to Naruto and Takemaru, "He's a time bomb ready to kill us all," Narrowing darkly as he continued, his youngest daughter smirking at his side, "He sided with a traitor, brought these abominations into our village, and expects to be treated as if he wasn't the same?"

Naruto's eyes widened, glistening with emotions as his body froze. The harsh words penetrated his skin, Kurama stirring inside him. It had been more than 5 years since he had last been spoken to in that manner, let alone by someone who's life he'd saved. Hiashi turned away from him, Hanabi following after, "Your mother was an outsider, you will always be an outsider," He growled, turning and looking over his shoulder, "You'll be the one to destroy this village, Uzumaki. Don't drag my daughters with you."

Everyone's eyes widened as Naruto's fists clenched tightly at his side; shaking with fury. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" Naruto screamed as he shook his head in frustration, tears glistening at the corner of his eyes. Sakura, pushing her way through the crowd that had formed, watched with sadness at the man's outburst. "Do you think you can just say that bullshit, and walk away?" Naruto ran, gritting his teeth, as he grabbed Hiashi's shoulder.

The elder Hyuuga spun around, a chakra filled palm hitting Naruto's jaw; startling him. With the force of Hiashi's enraged chakra, Naruto fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his lips as the bruise quickly formed.

Tamori's eyes widened, quickly jumping between the two men; crystal eyes lightening to the white Hyuuga eyes. "Don't you dare," she growled as he moved into his stance; Tamori only mirroring his movements. The man's eyes widened, watching the young woman in front of him. "First you hit Hinata-chan, then you insult my sensei," TAmori's eyes narrowed, "You call us abominations, but these people are my family!" She snapped darkly, venom dripping from her voice, "What you said is wrong! All of it! Naruto-sensei is the only shinobi who isn't blinded by his own heritage!" She snarled as her silver chakra became visible around her palms. "His mother saved this damn village, so has he! The only excuse you have for your hatred, is because he's stronger than you could ever hope to be!"

Hiashi's eyes widened, shocked by the woman's testimony. Dropping his stance, Tamori let her eyes return back to normal. Standing firmly in front of her sensei, "I-I owe sensei, my life," she smiled at Hiashi without a second thought, "As does everyone in this damn village and I won't let even a clan leader sully his name." She crossed her arm over her stomach, bowing as formally as possibly to the man, "Please leave, there is no more need for a scene."

Naruto's eyes widened, he had never seen Tamori stand so firmly for anything; she had never sworn to someone higher than her before, she had never taken that tone of voice in front of him, she had never used her bloodline against someone else from Konoha. Hiashi, hearing the murmurs of the crowd around them; siding with the woman. "Abomination," he growled.

Tamori kept smiling, "Arrogant ass." As they left, Tamori felt her body swoon, Takemaru catching her as she fell to the ground, "T-Takemaru-kun, get everyone out of here." Tamori whimpered as her eyes fell on her sensei, his eyes focused on the ground.

Takemaru's eyes scanned the crowd, Sakura stepping forward. He couldn't help but smile as she cracked her knuckles, "Everyone scatter, or I'll break your neck!" Most people turned tail and left, while a few didn't head the woman's warning only making Sasuke smirk, turning to face the crowd with his crimson eyes; the rest quickly running.

Kakashi's eyes scanned the area below him, Kamiko sitting beside him on the rooftop, "Looks like you weren't needed after all," Kakashi teased as he watched his students.

Kamiko's eyes sharpened, "That's not like Tamori-chan," Kamiko's eyes scanned the area, "I took away her chakra when we arrived, she shouldn't have been able to face Hyuuga-sama. This isn't right…"

Kakashi put his hand on her shoulder, "Don't overthink it," he gave her a soft smile, her eyes widening, "Sometimes, the need to protect the people you love overpowers everything else."

Hinata stumbled to her feet, slowly walking over to Naruto, "Naruto-kun a-are you okay?" she asked quietly as she helped him up. The second that he got to his feet, he slapped her hand away.

"Stay away from me," he growled, red flashing in his sapphire eyes. Turning on his heel, he ran from her, ran from everyone.

Hinata's lavender eyes softened, "Hinata-chan," Sakura called as she lightly touched the woman's forearm, "He needs his space," she whispered hesitantly. Hinata shook her head and ran after Naruto, refusing to listen to Sakura's words.

Hinata ran for miles, finally reaching the edge of the old team seven's training grounds. With her shaking hand against her chest, she watched Naruto's movements; evaluating if it was alright for her to get closer.

Naruto paced back and forth, his fingers running through his hair in frustration. The man let out a scream in frustration, smashing his fist against the nearest tree. Hinata's eyes softened watching the turmoil, her heart breaking by every moment. Slowly, he calmed down, sitting on the bench beside the beaten tree.

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata's soft voice whimpered as she sat beside the man. Her hand reached up, healing the bruise on his cheek. He didn't look at her, his dull blue eyes focused only on the stones under his feet. "Naruto-kun, what he said-"

"It doesn't matter!" Naruto bellowed startling the timid woman at his side. His fists were clenched tightly at his side, knuckles white from the force. "It's never going to matter…"

Hinata's eyes softened, it hurt her so badly to see him in pain; let alone because of her father. Her hand hesitantly reached for his, reassuring him that she was there. The small gesture shocked the man, his eyes slowly turning to her, "M-My father will never be happy, Naruto-kun, least of all with me. I've accepted that," she whimpered as she tried to force a smile, her eyes now on the ground, "But… what he said was wrong, there are many people in the village who believe otherwise—people who… love you."

"They all think I'm a monster…" His eyes turned to her, whirling with emotions, "No one loves me, Hinata-chan," he growled as his teeth grit together.

"That's not true!" She called out almost instantaneously, tears pooling at the corners of her lavender eyes, "Didn't you hear Tamori-chan?" she asked as she squeezed his hand, "You're her family…" Naruto's eyes fell to the ground, brooding once again.

"My team… they're like my kids," he chuckled, forcing the goofy grin on his face; bitterness evident in his voice, "But I'll never get married… Im 21 and I haven't had a girlfriend… no one will ever love me that way," he hung his head, Hiashi's words ringing in his ears.

"Naruto-kun… do you remember our fight with Pein?" she asked quietly. Hinata's eyes widened as she watched his tears fall to the ground at the memory, her own threatening to fall. She slid off the bench, finding herself kneeling between his legs with her hands cupping his cheeks. "Naruto-kun," she whispered softly as she cradled his face in her soft hands.

Slowly, she made him look up, glassy sapphire eyes looking into her lavender, "Hinata-chan?" he asked quietly.

Blush painted over her face, her thumb running over the whiskers on his cheeks, "It might not matter…" she whimpered quietly as her tears threatened to fall, "But I've always loved you Naruto-kun," she smiled up at him, a beautiful smile that was reserved only for him. "I have since I first met you," she smiled as she leaned her forehead against his, letting her tears fall. "I've stood by your side when you were at your very worst, and I have adored you at your best; I've protected you through every moment I could." Hinata smiled as she moved his forehead protector kissing his forehead, "And my love for you has only grown."

Naruto's eyes widened as he felt the featherlike kiss against his forehead, her words ringing in his ears. He smiled, encircling his arms around her waist, resting his head against her shoulder. Hinata gasped quietly, returning the embrace. Naruto let his tears fall as he held the woman in his arms; almost completely forgetting the words her father had spoken.
