Defining a Color
"It's not what I-" Naruto paused for a second, unsure as to whether or not his claim would hold any ground "It's not what it looks like" he finished. He glanced around the room, found his shirt, and hastily put it on. Yamato was about to begin screaming as he remembered… remembered Hinata, the girl who he had only met a few times, but was easily made out to be a mature, responsible person. Naruto waited, cringing in preparation for Yamato's incoming assault, but only found silence. He opened his eyes to see Yamato, with a now casual expression on his face.
"I believe you; pack your things we're leaving in a few hours." Naruto sat there, still, as Yamato left their tent. Naruto sighed in relief, and then lay back down. He still had a few hours before they would go to the land hidden in the clouds. He rolled over and saw Hinata, her eyes slowly creaked open. He stared into her eyes, only a foot or so away. He felt close all the same. Hinata was now awake and there was little more than the sound of breathe in the awkward atmosphere.
"I-I, umm I'm sorry" Naruto said, looking away from her. She remained silent, unsure of what to say. She noticed a tear running down the only visible, left side of his face.
"Sorry for what" she asked. Neither of them made a sound until "I had fun" she said, her face turning red.
"Really" he asked, she couldn't see it but he was now grinning."Come on" he sat up then walked out of the tent taking a right as he looked back, before the flap fell to its original position, blocking her view from him. She groggily got up and leaned her head out the tent.
"Naruto" she called as she stepped out of the tent, her attention still where Naruto was. He stopped at the edge of the tent and turned around. Hinata stood at the entrance of the tent confused, as Naruto watched one of the clones he made sneak up behind her. The clone got close before it reached its arms around the girl slowly, and then quickly tugged her. She gasped, barely able to keep herself from screaming. She was still confused for a moment until the Naruto holding her disappeared leaving white smoke. By then she had faced to the clone and when she looked back, the real Naruto was in her face and picked her up by the waste, and carried her back into the tent. He laid her down then proceeded to lie down beside her. She couldn't stop giggling, embarrassed at how he was able to scare her like that.
Naruto only had a few hours so he would make them count. He crawled his way over to her. Slowly, inch by inch he made his way towards her, an evil grin on his face. She smiled then faked a frightened face "no" she yelped, inching away, every time he inched forward. He thought it was a bit self-disturbing but he even found her' scared face cute. They continued to squirm until Hinata ran out of space to retreat into in their small tent. Naruto crawled to her slowly. He leaned over her, looking into her eyes, now in his shadow. She sucked in one last, large breathe before he leaned his way down and kissed her. He pulled his head back. He placed his lips at her bottom one, kissed gently, then gently nibbled on her bottom lip.
She clenched in preparation for the moment he might bite a bit too hard but no such moment came. He eased his teeth off of her lip then kissed down her neck. He worked back up from her neck then kissed her lips again, his tongue now working its' way into her mouth. He hesitated for a moment, remembering the night before; maybe it was a bit too soon. He pulled back a bit. She noticed this then gripped his face, she didn't want him to feel restrained; she smiled and licked up his left cheek, her tongue working its way over the bottom, then middle, and then top whisker mark."He-he that tickles" he itched vigorously at the spot she just licked. The sensation eased and he leaned towards Hinata getting the hint with her previous action, he stroked her bottom lip with his tongue and her mouth opened in a half grin at what she just did, the taste of salt from his skin in her mouth. Their saliva mixed as well as their hands, their hands' fingers entwining then locking. They both stopped and lied down. They stared into each others' eyes. For him, he found comfort in the beautifully large cloudy sky, a sea of purple only seen when you look hard enough, for her, she found comfort in his endearing, unique shade of blue, bringing her a sense of peaceful drowning, whatever that is. He was hesitant to say it before but he was now feeling more and more that this warm felling that washed over him was love. He brushed his hand through the hair that fell on her face, resting his hand on her cheek. He felt as her cheek warmed and watched as it reddened. He smiled, acknowledging her uncontrollable habit, a faint reminder of how he used to think she was weird.
"I would offer to cook you breakfast, but I doubt there's much I could do" she smiled.
"Yah" he smiled in return."But there's a few things I could cook for you" he leaned up and pulled two containers of noodles he had been saving out of his bag lying in the furthest corner of the tent. He stepped out of the tent and formed a Rasengan, he then found a patch of grass that had been shielded from the rain and was relatively dry. He lightly grazed the dry grass with his Rasengan, holding it in place until the friction sent it up in flames. Hinata watched his resourcefulness, a bit impressed. Naruto quickly found some wood to sustain the fire then went to the ship to find a pot and a gallon of water. He started boiling the water and sat next to the fire. Hinata stepped over to the fire and sat beside Naruto. She rested her head back against his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her. At this moment all he could smell was the floral scent of her hair, the smell of the fire, and the wet grass. A tingle went down her spine when she felt him smell her hair. He looked down while rubbing her arm and noticed the goose bumps. She felt him staring at her and knew he realized it. She looked up to him to see a smile on his face."Always so sensitive" he said, looking into her eyes as she blushed."I should call you Hina-Hime-Chan."
"I'm no princess" she said trying to suppress her flattered expression.
"What? You're beautiful, well mannered, respectful, and are the ninja version of royalty."
"If I'm a princess what are you, a prince" she asked, still red at the thought of being a princess.
Naruto pondered for a moment "I think I'm the dragon, I have bright colors and I protect the princess from the evil prince."
"The prince is the nice one and the dragon is evil" she said laughing...
"Oh" he grinned and scratched his neck with his free arm. He noticed she was still laughing so he leaned down and licked the bridge of her nose. She stopped laughing to rub the moisture off her nose. She then went back to laughing."You want me to do it again" he asked in a threatening tone. She stopped for a moment then nodded."Really" he asked then licked the bridge of her nose again. Her nose cringed as he reached the apex of her forehead."I'm having a hard time deciding if I want ramen or if I'll just keep on doing this, cause' you taste good."She blushed fiercely of embarrassment. "Ramen!" he yelled as soon as he heard the water start boiling, pulling away from his girlfriend. He lifted the lids on the two cups and poured the water in each, he got himself and Hinata some chop sticks out of his bag. They ate in relative silence, only interrupted by the occasional slurping noise.
An hour or so after they finished, they were already on the boat to the land hidden in the clouds. The rain was finally starting to let up by the time they pulled into harbor. Naruto and Hinata stood at the bow when they noticed a few figures standing to meet them. The ship pulled in and the passengers started to unload. All of the five kage were waiting for the ship."Gaara" Naruto yelled leaping off of the now stopped ship. Naruto approached the five kage. Hinata remembered the red head, unfortunately. She remembered how he smashed a defenseless opponent without hesitance, the way he casually watched as the blood poured from the sky."He still kind of scares me" she noted before trying to act casual around the Kage."Hey, Naruto" Gaara said in his kage outfit.
"I have to admit, I get kind of jealous when I see you as the Kazakage."
"It'll be your turn soon enough" a familiar feminine voice chimed in.
"Hey old lady Tsunade" the Hokage cringed in frustration.
"How many times… have I told you not to call me that""Show some respect, especially in front of the other kage!" she smacked him in the head, buckling the ground beneath him. The rest of the kage watched the spectacle, unwilling to involve their selves.
"Naruto-kun?" a shy voice asked as Hinata rushed with Yamato and Gai towards the kage, just now getting off the ships' ramp.
"Y-yes…Hokage Sama" he said his eyes twirling in his head as he lay in the crater. Hinata made it to Naruto and helped him out of the slight concave he had been smashed into."Why you got to hit so hard…" he mumbled, now trying to find his balance against Hinata. Tsunade ignored his comment and observed Hinata's abnormally casual behavior but shook it off as unimportant.
"Yamato, will you come with us to give the report on the Akatsuki?"
"Of course, Tsunade-Sama" with that notion they left down a vacant spiral path that lead up a large rock pillar, Naruto could only assume was the Raikage tower. Gaara and the rest of the Kage were walking side by side when Gaara addressed one of his jounin assistants to note the report and deliver it to him later.
Gaara returned to his friends, which stood at the port in confusion "they just left us here…" Naruto grunted to himself before noticing the Kazakage walking back towards them.
"Naruto…I saw these people playing this game, it's called" he paused for a brief moment to think "basketball, yeah it was called basketball, wanna try it?"Naruto thought for a moment before agreeing and following him to a court with two hoops eleven or so feet off of the ground, Hinata followed them as well. Gaara set his white kage robe and hat on a bench that traced the sidelines of the concrete. Naruto slipped off his jacket and placed it next to Gaaras'.
Gaara picked up an orange and black ball from the north end of the court that was lying next to the hoop. He moved towards the median line and Naruto did the same, except from the south side of the court."You have to dribble, or I should say, bounce the ball off the ground while you move, like this" Gaara pressed the ball towards the ground and in its' recoil it arose back into his palm where he repeated the process. Naruto recognized his motions and began to focus."Three points from this line and two from any distance within this line."
"Alright" Naruto said, Gaara flung the ball in the air and on its fall back to the ground they both leaped for it. Gaara found the ball in his possession as he made his way down court. Naruto jogged down the court in pursuit but was already breaking a sweat. The two and a half months he had spent between the ship ride and the island its self had taken affect on his fitness. He was beginning to doubt himself, I mean look at Hinata she was in every aspect of the word, beautiful and he was, well, his muscles were losing their tone and he was in the starting of a gut."I'm gonna have to work that off" he returned his attention to the game and went to smack down a shot from Gaara, he was too late and the ball swooshed in for two points.
They found themselves at the median line as Gaara threw the ball into the air. Gaara caught it again but Naruto was unable to prevent him from making another two points."Hinata, why don't you throw it this time" Naruto called to the girl that was sitting silently with a smile on her face, watching them, on a small set of bleachers off to the side of the court. She nodded and made her way down court. She awkwardly lifted the ball, made a few throwing motions, and sent the ball a few feet into the air. She stepped back so she wouldn't be sandwiched between the two, but her foot snagged on an uneven piece of concrete. She had begun falling but was slightly confused when she saw that Naruto had instinctively grabbed her hand. She was embarrassed that she had interrupted their game but was relieved when she noticed Naruto looking down at her with a smile on his face.
He tugged her up from her still awkward angle. She was kind of disgusted at the scent she was picking up but at the same time something about it was driving her crazy, she felt weird."Is t-that, Naruto" she asked herself, still staring at Naruto, sweat hugged white shirt and all."Great she's staring at me. She probably thinks I'm…." his thoughts trailed off for a word he could use, Hinata was getting a really distinctive feeling. Naruto began to see a weird aura in her look and was a bit confused, but all the same decided to lean over and kiss her. Hinata could smell the primal sweat Naruto was emanating and it was troublesome. Gaara watched, at first he was a bit surprised, but all the same he was happy for his friend. He smiled something that doesn't happen very often. Naruto broke from the kiss only to hear the sound of a ball swooshing in his hoop."One second Hinata" he said, motioning her to watch with two fingers to his eyes then a smile with a thumb pointing to his chest as she went to sit down."Go, Naruto" she yelled, hands cupping her mouth, from the sidelines. Naruto and Gaara continued to go back and forth for an hour. The final score, forty three to thirty seven, Gaara was leading. Naruto trudged back to Hinata."I really need to get fit; I lost in front of Hinata…" Hinata noticed his gloomy expression."Good job" she said, moving off the bleachers to meet him halfway."I lost" he said, unsure of whether or not she knew that."I know, but you tried." Naruto still had a semi sarcastic look of disappointment in himself but he knew it was just a game and smiled and scratched his neck. "I would've asked him to finish the game with me but he has things to do, I think he just knows he'll lose". Gaara returned to the bench he had set his things on and flung Naruto's jacket across the court to him.
Gaara slid the white, neck long kage mask piece over his head, and then his hat, and of course his robe. One of Gaaras' assistants came carrying his gourd and a spiral notebook. After handing Gaara his gourd and the notes from the debriefing, Gaara waved his friend off. Yamato took his place as he told Naruto and Hinata that they were going to head out, despite it already being six. They departed from the village hidden in the clouds. Large bags on their shoulders and all.
They had been traveling on foot for about two days. It was now two in the morning and they were approaching the village gates. Naruto, Hinata, Yamato and three other leaf jounin all stepped past the stone, arch shaped path that signified the entrance to the Leaf. The villagers were almost done with the new border wall, but for now all that signified that you were in the Hidden leaf Village is that border line made of stone on the ground. All of the Ninja looked in awe at their village which was now more than half way rebuilt."Wow, it looks amazing" Hinata said, admiring the casual wood buildings and the occasional wood structure which towered above the other, but not by very much.
"All this work in two months even without Yamato" Naruto said, preparing to take another step. Hinata remembered something and leaned in towards Naruto.
"You said Yamato's jutsu is weak against the rain, what does that mean for the buildings he made for the village" she asked, her face mixed with curiosity and concern.
"I, uh…I don't know" he responded. He turned to Yamato and relayed Hinata's question to Yamato.
"Its fine, the durability of the wood depends on how much chakra I expend into each jutsu, I used a lot for each building I made in Konoha, plus the buildings are painted then covered in shingles". With that question answered they all departed towards their respective homes, Naruto of course walking Hinata back to the Hyuuga compound. They had been walking for some time when they both realized they had no idea where their homes or anything for that matter were in the village. The sun was beginning to peek over the horizon and they were both tired in all aspects of the word.
Naruto saw Hinata's exhausted expression and decided they needed to find their homes soon. Naruto made a few hundred shadow clones and sent them scouring across the village for anything that seemed familiar to him. After a few moments a clone saw what he could only assume was the Hyuuga mansion, so he ended himself with a kunai. The clones' memories returned to Naruto and he immediately knew which direction to take Hinata. He arrived with her at a large white walled building that had other buildings branching off of it, weaving through the woods, which were probably artificial, because all of the area within the leaf village had been destroyed by Pain. They both stood in silence by the two doors that was the single entrance to the Hyuuga building. The sun was rising but they were both freezing, the fogs of their breaths were now appearing in front of their mouths. Naruto let Hinata knock on her door. He regretted letting her do it before he could kiss her, but figured he could find time. She turned around to tell him he better disappear before someone opened the door, but was interrupted when he pressed his lips to hers'. He did so as if he wouldn't see her again, forcing her against the door, which she happily obliged and leaned back against it. With one last pushing savor he forced her head to nudge back against the wall, he started pulling back but she followed him until he pulled back far enough. Their lips made a smacking sound as they both withdrew. He smiled and looked around nervously. Hinata smiled and leaned back against the door and closed her' eyes to take in the moment
. Just then she felt the support she had on the door become vacant as she fell backwards. Hiashi shot his hand forward supporting her weight. She remembered Naruto and opened her eyes only to see the only thing there was a trace of golden flame-like chakra dissipating into the air, a reminder of the only technique Naruto could use to get away that fast, Kyuubi chakra blending. She quickly leaned up, making her own support, and turned around to see her father. "Why do you look disappointed" Hiashi asked in his monotone voice."I-uh" she began to say but was interrupted.
"Come inside" Hiashi said gesturing for her to enter by stepping aside. Naruto stepped down the path that led away from the Hyuuga compound. That was when he remembered that he didn't have a home since it was destroyed in the last invasion. He scolded himself for forgetting that his home had been destroyed, I mean, how does one forget that? He found a bench facing the woods, over the path leading down the hill to his left, which went down to Konoha. He was tired and made himself as comfortable as possible on the wooden bench. It was two am and if he were to fall asleep fast he could get four to six hours of sleep, but a three hours passed and he found himself staring at the ground. Still sitting up against the bench he leaned his head back and fell asleep.
It was now five in the morning. Hinata reluctantly got up. She stepped into the new main housing room. She had slept okay, but she still wasn't use to the new room. Hiashi was still asleep but Hinata continued to grab a grapefruit off of a centerpiece on the living table and headed out to explore the building. She exited through the front door and made a circle around the clan house, which was rather large. She made it back to the front door and went down the path that led through the woods. She headed through until she came to a clearing, split in half by the path she was on; grass on the left and right side of the stone walk way. She could see the starting of Konoha down the path and a bench on the left hand side, with a familiar looking person sleeping on it. She cautiously walked towards the figure until she recognized the man, seated awkwardly on the bench. She remembered how his home had been destroyed in the attack and felt a strike of guilt that she was unable to find a place for him to stay. She stepped towards him even closer and sat down next to him.
His eyes shot open as he looked around, only to see his girlfriend seated next to him smiling. He repositioned himself to lie down and she did as well, removing her jacket and placing it underneath his head. He looked concerned, but then unzipped his jacket, and she lay against his chest. He slipped his arms out of his sleeves, giving his jacket more room to stretch. He struggled to find the right angle, but managed to zip his' jacket over the majority of both of them. The majority was good enough as they also had each others' body heat. Not to mention the sun was visibly peering over horizon as it rose. Naruto took one last groggy look at his girlfriend which had her face lying against his chest, his right arm wrapped around her under the jacket, resting on her back. He took notice of her as the orange sunlight illuminated her hair and the part of her face that she left away from his chest to breathe. His left hand slid up from his side and weaved through the girls' hair. She let out a mumble."I can hear his heart beat…" she thought, her' ear to his chest "it's so steady; 1…..2…..1…..2…" she counted to herself until they both fell asleep on the bench, looking like a large orange amoeba.
Naruto's eye lids lifted open. He once again weaved his hand through her hair, but this time it was too subtle to wake the girl from her seemingly peaceful sleep. He grinned, he then noticed one of the seams in his' jacket had torn, it seems his jacket wasn't quite big enough for the both of them. He sighed, but was perfectly content with it; he could always get a new jacket. It was better than him letting Hinata get a cold. He watched as she raised and then lowered with each breathe he took. He noticed her eye open and grinned. Hinata was slightly confused, was, her walking to the bench a dream, and if so was it all a dream? She got an urge to cry, but her fears faded when she heard the heart beat on her' left ear, she raised her head to see the orange boy she loved.
"What time is it" she asked rubbing her eyes with her wrist, in a way only somebody with her soft personality would. She couldn't help but smile as she rested her head back down. He grinned at her then arched his head back as his world flipped over, he took position of the sun and made his best guess "eight" he said. He had only slept three hours, he had sat on that bench, unable to sleep, for more hours than he would have liked, the sun was now high and he could see the village downhill, rustling with life from his upside down perspective."You should probably get home" he said, raising his head. Her eyes widened as she took in his' words "eight" she thought to herself. Naruto already knew what she was thinking and unhinged his jacket zipper so she could get up."I'll walk you home" he said, casually getting off the bench with her. He walked her back through the woods, never straying from the path that led to the Hyuuga house. Hinata was concerned that her family might already be about in the Hyuuga home.
They arrived after three minutes of walking and talking occasionally about small things like Hinata's training. They were now standing in front of the Hyuuga door again "Thank you, Naruto" she said leaning in and tugging him down a bit, leaving a kiss on his lips. He was surprised, he was usually the one who took the initiative, but he couldn't keep a smile off his face.
"You should probably go, Naruto-kun" she said, Naruto could hear the concern in her voice and remembered where he was.
"Yah" he leaned in and returned her' previous kiss. He leaned back "bye-"he lost his words. He couldn't help but try to suck in air. He looked down to the arm that was jotted into his stomach, his torso was hunched over the arm, hiding the man's hand, but Naruto knew what just happened. He was still trying for air; he was beginning to panic from lack of oxygen, he slowly looked up and as he thought, there was the leader of the Hyuuga clan, with a stern, spiteful look being donned on his face, Naruto hated his kind, the one's that thought they had the right to judge everyone. The one's who not only judged but always judged others as lower than themselves. Naruto's teeth clenched, he was now drastically grasping at the hand.
He hoped it was just a simple street punch, but he was sure it was more than that. If it was gentle fist, his stomach could be split, or his chakra center damaged. He didn't have time to worry as to whether or not he was gonna be able to eat normally, or if he would be able to make chakra.
"What do you think you're doing to my daughter" Hiashi asked but was interrupted, not something he took kindly to.
"Father, don't hurt him" Hinata yelled, unable to decide what to do.
"Quiet" Hiashis' arm fell from against Naruto's chest to his own side. Naruto stepped back still trying to breathe. He felt a weird sensation in his gut, Hiashi had hit him in the stomach making it collapse on its self, but it had now returned to its original shape. Naruto felt a sense of relief that he was able to breathe again. He looked up at Hiashi and raised his fists. Naruto attempted to gather chakra at his feet, but like he thought, Hiashi had completely disturbed his chakra flow. "Don't think you're welcome here or near my daughter, now leave" Hiashi turned around and began to walk away when he felt a blunt yet sharp pain in his back."Don't turn your back on me" Naruto spoke, his fist formed against Hiashis' spine. Hiashi turned and pressed Naruto's hand away, jabbing Naruto in the shoulder, once, twice, three times, over and over again. Naruto, unable to control the chakra he had left, couldn't stop the endless assault of subtle pokes, he watched as the hand flung into his body over and over again. Pain was starting to throb in waves, from each point that was hit.
"Stop…stop…stop!" Hinata yelled, unable to watch the fight any longer. Her father hesitated for only a moment, but ultimately decided to continue."I SAID STOP" Hinata looked down; his daughters' arm was stopping his left from moving to hit Naruto. Naruto couldn't feel his stomach or shoulders. Even so he readied his self; he doubted Hiashi was going to let his daughter get in the way of him fighting. Hiashi observed Naruto and couldn't help himself be a bit impressed at how persistent the kid was. He had shut down almost all of his chakra points, excluding only the ones in his lower body, his ankles and hips, and even if he did have chakra left, he wouldn't be able to control it very well, for a while.
Naruto waited for Hinata to calm down "Hinata just let him go, it'll be over quicker if you let him fight" Hinata observed his serious expression and let go of her fathers' arm "I trust you". Naruto drew a kunai out of his back tool pouch. Naruto wrapped an explosive tag around the end of his knife and threw, landing a few feet behind Hiashi. Hiashi didn't move "He can't make the hand seals to detonate the tags, so why he using explosive kunai… is he stupid" Hiashi asked himself, activating his Byakugan and looking around the woods to make sure Naruto wasn't going to do anything roundabout. Naruto stood, attempting to make a Rasengan, without a clone, and with his disturbed chakra system. Hiashi watched confused "he doesn't actually expect me to watch, does he" Hiashi shook off the thought and began to charge at Naruto. Naruto began to run in the opposite direction of Hiashi, gradually revolving around the kunai.
Meanwhile, a pink haired girl across town had decided to leave her home for the morning. She had stepped out of the Hokage tower, through its left entrance and noticed a weird sensation, coming from the distance. It didn't make very much sense, being that few people ever had business in the woods to the side of the Hokage tower. The only thing there was the Hyuuga compound, but what was this feeling? She stepped down a hill and broke off to her left, walking up a path that lead through the woods, the other path leading through the main streets of Konoha, all of these paths met at a fork.
Naruto turned, still running, he continued to stride backwards. Hiashi reluctantly followed, he could catch up the second he wanted to but was curious whether or not the kid was running from him, or if he had other things in mind. Naruto looked semi panicked as he made long backward strides in a circle. He threw another kunai out at Hiashi. Hiashi sidestepped slightly, still maintaining his pursuit to Naruto. Naruto turned back around and ran as fast as he could. Hiashi continued to follow until Naruto turned around, once again running backwards. Naruto threw another kunai, it missed. He wrapped around and threw another, and another, Hiashi was getting irritated, it was nothing more than a cheap trick. Naruto reached behind into his pouch to grab another kunai but only shuffled through the bag, "finally" Hiashi thought realizing Naruto was out of kunai.
Naruto stopped running backwards, and decided to run at Hiashi. Hinata watched, confused as they ran about the clearing next to the compound, in repetitive circles. That's when she realized the shape of the six kunai, it was a broad circle, about fourteen feet in diameter, all lined with explosive tags. That's when she realized Naruto was going to lead him into the circle somehow then detonate the tags. She worried for her father at first, but then she realized that Naruto would never kill her father, a comrade, especially in front of herself, she then noticed multiple other kunai making no recognizable shape, maybe Naruto didn't know what he was doing?.
Naruto lunged with a right fist towards Hiashis' waist, Hiashi sidestepped slightly. Naruto missed and rolled, quickly turning around a pulling Hiashis' tool pouch off of his left hip, then turning back around to run. "so that's what he was aiming at" Hiashi grunted to himself in annoyance, at the thought Naruto could be planning to do the same thing over again. Hiashi charged after Naruto, deciding to end the fight, he thrust his hand into Naruto's right kidney, Naruto twisted then fell on his back. Naruto weakly gripped his left waist, Hiashi watched in disgust. Naruto leaned over on hands and knees and crawled, desperately, clenching Hiashis' bag to his chest, with his left hand, the strength in his breath was unsteady. Hiashi stepped slowly behind him, watching Naruto crawl pathetically, towards a kunai sticking out of the ground. Naruto got to the kunai and began to press his hand at it."He must have already check in the bag" Hiashi thought, he was going for his kunai because Hiashi had no kunai in his tool pouch, Hiashi figured that Naruto by now had figured out how to detonate kunai with just concentrating just like the Byakugan, but didn't have to worry because , the knife Naruto was next to had no tag.
Hiashi stepped on the kunai Naruto's hand was working at, pressing the kunai back into the ground. Naruto looked up and grinned. Naruto shot the majority of his remaining chakra into his feet as he made one quick bound. Hiashi finally noticed the circle Naruto had made out of kunai "looks like he planned on luring me into the center of that circle, but when I injured him, he decided to use his own explosive tags as a shield. Well, all I need is one good shot" Hiashi leaned down to grab the kunai out of the dirt. He heard Naruto kicking at one of the kunai that comprised the circular shield he was in, Hiashi could only think that Naruto was trying to fish the kunai out of the ground, to counter Hiashis' kunai. Hiashi was about to grab the kunai when he noticed a string attached to the knife that lead towards the Naruto's other kunai. Hiashi looked up at Naruto, his hand still reaching for the ninja tool, that's when Naruto smiled then gave one last kick at the knife in the ground, Hiashi watched as a ball of blue chakra quickly formed and flowed down the line.
The Rasengan hit his foot, breaking it and his ankle, Hiashi doubled over himself, and then fell on his back. Naruto's injured expression faded as he walked over to Hiashi, who was now laying on the ground in disbelief. Hinata had watched the whole thing and was confused as to what had just happened. Naruto crouched next to him.
"You see, I had maneuvered in those circles obviously to buy time to form the ring of explosive tagged kunai I was just in the center of, right? I was also trying to make it look like I ran out of kunai, when in truth, I still have one, this was also meant to ware at your' patience, forcing you to use full strength, it wouldn't look real if I just let you hit me, tetebayo." Naruto dropped Hiashis' tool bag by his' side, then pulled one of his own kunai out of his own bag."I was going to need this to injure myself, giving me a reason to crawl to the knife I had in the ground. I had reached the knife, but I wasn't trying to grab it, I was tying this string around it." Naruto leaned down to his left and pulled the kunai out of the ground, tugging on it slightly, to help show the resistance of the now chakra burned string." I knew you would grab the kunai, because now you had no ninja tools, and wouldn't risk your' life by entering the circle of explosives over this. The second you tried for the kunai, I "flashed" over to the kunai keeping the string in hand so I could tie the two, I arrived on the opposite end of the string then pulled my chakra out of the tag, which was just a chakra seal, not an explosive tag, then I reapplied it in the correct pattern necessary to form the Rasengan, which slung down the string, I'm kind of lucky the Rasengan didn't fade, string isn't a very good chakra conductor, and neither are my hands right now, which is why I had to use my feet, being that you hadn't flattened my chakra points there, that's why I was kicking at the string. When you were following me you had your' Byakugan activated the whole time, didn't you, that's what a was hoping for, it wears you out if you use it too much, doesn't it? I needed to be sure that you wouldn't be able to look at my kidney; truth is I had shifted just enough to prevent you from rupturing my kidney. While I was sitting up on the floor after you hit me, I lightly stabbed my hip, which is why you see the blood soaking through my jacket; the truth is, this was probably won the second you decided to observe me".
Hinata stepped up and leaned down to her father. Naruto asked her for a bandage rap, which he assumed she had, and began wrapping it around Hiashis' broken ankle.
Sakura was still wandering down the path, seeking the source of the weird vibe she was still getting. She passed through the space in between two trees, and came to a clearing, the Hyuuga compound now close. She looked down from the building and noticed a familiar orange humanoid kneeling by two others."Narutooooo!" she yelled happily, her words fading into a yell as she got close enough "what the hell did you do idiot?" Naruto didn't look up from his task wrapping Hiashis' injured ankle.
Authors-Note: It's been a long time, but I've finished this chapter, hope the quality was good enough for you ladies and gentleman, if you have a hard time understanding what exactly happened between the Naruto and Hiashi, pm me and I'll make a rewrite, oh and about the format, a new paragraph will not start if the dialogue switches but a new sentence doesn't start ex: Naruto waited for Hinata to calm down ("Hinata just let him go, it'll be over quicker if you let him fight") Hinata observed his serious expression and let go of her fathers' arm ("I trust you")-notice how there's two different peoples' thoughts and speech, but they share the same sentence. P.S-happy Easter, I removed the section element of the format, you know where I had a bold title for every few paragraphs :)
