Chapter 8
Naruto approached the hyuga estate seeming completely confident within himself. His idea, no matter how crazy it was, had a 100% success rate! Not a single thing could stop him from being with Hinata now! Three weeks had flown by like they were nothing and the day had finally come for Naruto to announce his challenge! He steped towards the large mansion and three different Hyuga members guarded the main enterance. In a second that he began to come into view, the guards moved in to meet him.
"Naruto Uzumaki! You are not allowed to meet with Lady Hinata under any circumstances! Please leave now!" said one of the young men. Naruto smirked at them and put his hands behind his head, seeming releaxed.
"Actually, I'm not here to see Hinata. I am here to meet with the head-honcho! Let me see Lord Hiashi Hyuga!" Naruto exclaimed in his husky voice. All three men seemed incredibly shocked and approved of his audience with Hiashi and escorted him inside. As Naruto was led through the halls of the mansion, they all came to Hiashi's workroom that was cluttered with scrolls and books galore. In the desk working, was Hiashi Hyuga; looking at Naruto with the eyes of true disgust.
"Ah, Naruto. What are you doing here?" asked Hiashi. Naruto stepped forward and pointed a finger at Hiashi.
"Lord Hiashi Hyuga! I challenge you to a one on one match for the privilege to be with Hinata Hyuga!" yelled Naruto. Hiashi looked at him with a glare and then smirked evily.
"Really? And what makes you think that I would agree to that?" asked Hiashi.
"I learned a little bit about you, Hiashi! I learned that you are a stickler for the old Hyuga traditions." said Naruto. Hiashi stood up from his desk as his eyes thinned to a slit.
"Indeed I am. But you do know what you're getting yourself into, don't you?" asked Hiashi. Naruto nodded.
"What do you think I've been doing these past three weeks? I've been training my ass off just so I could beat your face into the ground!" yelled Naruto throwing his pointed finger at the ground for emphasis.
"I see… then as the Head of the Hyuga's Main Branch Family, I accept." said Hiashi. "When shall this take place?"
"Tomorrow at the arena where the chunin exams are held. We'll settle things there." said Naruto. Hiashi smirked once again and nodded and went to shake hands with Naruto.
"Very well…" said Hiashi. Naruto looked at the Hiashi's hand and shook it firmly with a determined smile on his face. Hiashi, in this single second, had gained a little respect for Naruto. Something inside the boy had changed that had given him a certain aura about him. Hiashi was pleased with Naruto's determination. As the handshake ended, Naruto was escourted out of the office as Hiashi sat down in his desk. A servant that was by Hiashi's side and leaned down to speak with him.
"Are you really going to fight him, my Lord?" asked the servant into Hiashi's ear. Hiashi nodded, intertwined his fingers in front of his face as his elbows lied on the table, and smiled. He too, had been intrigued by Naruto's unique nature and was suddenly very interested to fight him the next coming day.
"Of course I am." said Hiashi with a smile. "I wouldn't miss a match with that man for the world." The servant seemed confused but only nodded without question to the Lord's decision.
As Naruto had finally left the premises, he turned around and looked up at the window that belonged to Hinata's room. From inside, he could see Hinata waving at him from up above. Naruto waved back and began to walk away.
"Don't you worry Hinata! Tomorrow, everything will go back to normal!" thought Naruto as he walked away and back to his house to prepare for the following day.
