(Location: apartment complex urban district Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

Naruto and Sakura were happily sleeping together peacefully it was another day that the blond jounin wanted to spent the night with his pink haired girlfriend. Ever since they have gotten together the two ninjas have been inseparable and they were rarely without the other, needless to say they have grown closer than ever before. They were naked their bodies covered by the warm blanket they were both happily sharing letting their journey to dream land one that it would never end. Yet for both it felt like everything was a dream to them they still it wasn't real what they have experienced. It felt too good to be true they were together as a couple they have taken an oath taking the next step into a romantic relationship, it was so wonderful and fantastic being together. It was like both of them have finally got rewarded handsomely for everything they went through, for all the pain and suffering they experienced. They knew it wasn't a dream and for that they were grateful they secretly promised to each other they will cherished one another through good times and bad and they will be there for each other just like they have done before becoming a couple. Even if it was real it was still feeling like an amazing dream, from the looks of things neither of them were planning in waking up literally they were still enjoying their rest.

Naruto slightly opened his eyes only to be met by the sight of true unique beauty. He was staring at his pink haired girlfriend Sakura who was still sleeping soundly with such a calm expression on her face. He smiled he love looking at her he would stay watching over her forever in his eyes she was truly an angel. He still couldn't believe that she loves him very much and that they were together it was something that he only thought it will happen in his dreams, perhaps he was in denial that she will ever love him and move on from Sasuke. Reading her diary he realized the truth of her deep feelings and everything she has done for him the lengths she was willing to take just to make him happy, her sacrifices mean a lot to him. He reached touching her pink hair feeling the strands on his hand he caressed it with so much tender and care she was truly beautiful. He leaned forward and gave her forehead a kiss pulling her closer to him like he didn't wanted to let her go, Sakura was finally his and she accepted his deep feelings. There was nothing else he needed now that he had the only girl he has ever truly love since he even knew what love means, he smiled one more time before drifting back to sleep.

His eyes widened when he felt a hand stroking his manhood it felt so good. He looked to the one responsible only to be met by a very aroused looking Sakura she bit her lip stroking his manhood which was still in regular size. Her expression was enough she wanted to have some fun enjoying herself with him this early in the morning. Not that he didn't wanted to make love to his pink haired goddess he was more than happier to do so, after all he was feeling a bit aroused himself some love making will help him start his day. Sakura reached to him and kissed him passionately letting her tongue have her its way with his tongue the two ninjas moaned tasting their lips as Naruto pulled her closer. The pink haired medic moaned in pure satisfaction due to her arousal and how good it felt to kiss her blond boyfriend, her hands caressed his messy blond hair. She got even closer wanting to feel his well tone naked body on her own naked body it felt so good however her right hands was still stroking his dick which it has increased in size due that he was now fully aroused. That was exactly what the pink haired woman had in mind now that he was fully hard they could have come intimate fun before getting up to start this wonderful day, her arousal level was high she was going to love this as well as the blond jounin.

(Lemon start!)

Once they broke the kiss Sakura went beneath the blanket getting down to meet his ten inch cock. She didn't hesitated she hungrily took the pillar of flesh in her mouth as she started sucking on it rapidly. Naruto groaned giving a moan of satisfaction he loved it when his girlfriend gives him oral he grinned biting his lower lip at how hungry she was devouring his cock almost taking the entire length of his cock. The sex starve Sakura stopped her sucking before she spit on her boyfriends' dick using her saliva as lubricant before she resume her sexual assault on his pillar of flesh, the effect were quite obvious as the blond jinchurikki moaned loving the blowjob a lot. He groaned he was prepare to hold his climax he didn't wanted to come yet he wanted to save it for when they start doing their intimate act. He groaned once more his pink haired girlfriend was really hungry her sexual appetite was immense she worked her mouth and her tongue well so she can give her boyfriend the ultimate experience in oral sex. Her blowjob also gave her a big effect as it helped her get so wet that she particularly wet the sheets of her bed her juices were flowing from her pussy like a river, she couldn't help it she was so damn horny.

"Oh Sakura-chan yes it feels so good!"

"Mmmmmmm….."

Naruto removed the blanket wanting to see his girlfriend sucking on his ten inch cock and grinned at the sight it's like she was starving and needed to suck something big and hard to satisfy her appetite. However it was cut short as the pink haired kunoichi stopped sucking it she finally got what she wanted in the first place, she licked her lips her eyes were on her boyfriends' pillar of flesh. Her plan worked it was so big rock hard and it was throbbing in anticipation to penetrate some pussy she was going to enjoy this so much, her hormones were basically choking the life out of her. Giving the man she loves with all her heart an sultry look she straddle him getting on top of him she spread the lips of her wet womanhood lowering her hips ready to hit her mark which was her boyfriends' crazy throbbing manhood. She didn't expected that Naruto who was very aroused by now moved his cock penetrating the pink haired woman's pussy causing both of them to moan in pleasure, the penetration felt so good from both sides. Both started moving their bodies in perfect rhythm beginning the act of sex the one thing they loved was the sound of their pelvises smacking against the other due to penetration, they moaned louder as they increased their speed and tempo. Naruto groaned as he sexually hungry gazed at his girlfriend who loved the pleasurable ride of having his dick inside of her. He grabbed her ass squeezing it a little as it gave it a couple of spanks making Sakura moaned louder, it fueled her desired to ride him even faster.

"Oh Sakura-chan shit you feel so good!"

"Yeah Naruto-kun faster fuck me harder, deeper I want to feel it all the way inside of me ooohhhh!"

Once Naruto got satisfy from giving her ass enough fondling and spankings he went to touch her double D breast it was very arousing watching them bouncing up and down from the sexual ride she was taking. He increased his speed letting his ten inch cock penetrate even deeper in her wet pussy both moaned loud hanging for their dear lives, he fondle and played with Sakura's erect nipples and her breasts. The pink haired medic gave another moaned of pleasure and satisfaction loving the sex her boyfriend was giving her this was the best way to start the morning indeed, at least for her. She looked at him giving him such an aroused and hungry expression it's like she wanted him to devoured him alive, no doubt she was truly horny she added some pleasure running her hands all over Naruto's bare muscle chest. The fact that by now his body was filled with sweat from the intensity of their hardcore workout was turning her on even more, she loved rough sex with lots of sweat proof how intense was their love making. To her it proof how much they loved each other and how much they desire the other it was the ultimate test of love to proof how much they care for each other. She felt her hands getting slippery due for touching his chest full of sweat but she didn't care she loved it, kinky hardcore sex with Naruto was the best it made her felt so alive and in control. Some of her sweat fell on his chest she was sweating a lot from how fast they were going both were lost in the lust and the pleasure.

"Sakura-chan yes your pussy feels so good I don't want this to end!" he hungrily squeezed her breasts.

"Oooohhhh Naruto-kun fuck me more give me more I want more pleasure!"

Like the good and obedient boyfriend he was Naruto comply his girlfriends' request. He free one of his hands from her breast making a hand seal summoning a shadow clone, her eyes widened in shock. She smiled in an arousing matter seeing another naked Naruto with his cock very hard, like his original master his manhood was throbbing like crazy. He was standing on the bed and he did something that shocked Sakura a lot he thrusts his cock in her mouth moving his pillar of flesh back and forth. The pink haired kunoichi felt like she was in heaven so much pleasure she was feeling, she loved the fact that she was getting fucked while sucking another dick that is also belongs to her boyfriend. Her muffle moans of approval were signs that she loved this new sexual addition the blond jinchurikki has made especially for her. He pounded her faster using all his strength and stamina to give her more pleasure while she was hungrily taking the pillar of flesh from the shadow clone.

"How's that for giving you more pleasure Sakura-chan?" he went back to squeeze her ass letting his shadow clone to play with her breasts.

"Mmmmmmmm….." the pink haired woman was in dreamland truly the heaven of all sexual pleasures.

The blond jounin got enough satisfaction from pounding his cherry blossom on top and decided to change positions. He got her off from him but she didn't protest because she was just too busy from sucking his shadow clone she sucked him very good. She also removed her mouth stroking it while licking it she used her tongue to lick his shaft making the clone moaned he reached for her breast once more. The real Naruto grinned at the sight it made him give his cock a few strokes at how arousing it looked but he went back to the matter at hand in doing a new sexual position. It seemed Sakura has read his mind as she positioned herself in doggy style position showing her nice round ass and her wet pussy, she didn't said a word to him due that she was still enjoying herself licking the pillar of flesh from his clone. The blond jinchurikki grabbed his manhood guiding it to his girlfriends' wet entrance piercing it quickly he resumed his sexual assualt getting a free arousing view of Sakura's ass jiggling because of his pounding. He wanted this to last forever both of them wanted it to be that way but they knew something so good and pleasurable was destine to end, they could feel it. They were reaching their climax it was going to be a huge explosion from their release, it was a matter of time now.

"Sakura-chan I'm about to come!"

"I'm going to come too!" the shadow clone gave a groan.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm….."

Naruto increased his speed grabbing her nice bottom before he felt his orgasm reaching him" I can't hold it in anymore I'm coming Sakura-chan!"

He removed himself spraying his wide load all over his girlfriends' ass cheeks it was a lot while Sakura released a wave of her juices resembling a fountain. The hot thick cum filled the entire round bottom at the same time the shadow clone reached his orgasm releasing his load inside of Sakura's mouth. The pink haired medic was shocked but she took the powerful load making sure that she swallowed it all and that nothing left from her mouth. She loved the taste of her boyfriends' semen sweet and salty at the same time, she managed to swallow it all without spilling some. The shadow clone gave a big smile in satisfaction before he vanished both ninjas were finally satisfied in this morning because it was an amazing sexual workout. Both ninjas finally collapsed on the bed as Naruto wrapped his arms around her kissing her cheek holding her like he didn't wanted to let her go. The pink haired kunoichi had a big smile on her face accepting the blonds' embrace today she has never felt so relief and satisfied now she can finally start her day.

(Lemon end)

Sakura finally released from her arousal state she was still panting from the afterglow of her orgasm, she took a look at her boyfriend giving him a smile" hey….?"

He chuckle kissing her cheek" you know Sakura-chan I really like your new way of saying good morning it's way better than just saying plain good morning."

"I couldn't help it I get arouse in the morning…" she replied feeling embarrassed.

"Really so does that mean before we got together you masturbated in the morning thinking about me?" he gave a perverted grin.

"Of course not don't be such a pervert!" she shouted blushing at the comment because it was true.

"You're one to talk Sakura-chan" the blond jinchurikki gave a playful smirk he wasn't the only pervert around.

"What was that?" she said in a warning tone reminding him that one more comment like that and she was going to hit him.

"Nothing just kidding…"

"Good then…." She smiled going back to enjoy the embrace before her eyes widened" what the…why do I feel something sticky in my body?"

Naruto felt himself getting pale" what…what do you mean?"

"This feels like…." She reached to her backside and gasped looking at it from her hand recognizing the white substance" oh my….is this…."

By now Naruto was no longer hugging his girlfriend and he has taken a couple of steps back, being at the far end of her bed. The pink haired medic looked behind her and was shocked at what she was seeing; she gave the blond a glare.

"Narutoooo?" she formed a fist" why is there semen on my butt?"

"I….I was caught in the moment…." He gulped in fear he didn't felt like experiencing her wrath.

She frowned at him her right eye twitching" caught in the moment what an excuse you actually thought I was going to like getting cum on my butt, just look at it there so much of it….ew!"

"Ew…what do you mean ew?" Naruto felt hurt by her comment.

"Just hand me a towel would you?"

"But Sakura-chan….you actually have swallow my seed before….this is no different."

"I'm not going to clean it up and the send it to my mouth, it's your fault for not coming inside."

"That's just it I didn't wanted to come inside because I was afraid you might get pregnant, it was a huge load" he smiled mentally it was a good reason.

"I'm a medic ninja I always take shots to prevent pregnancy so it doesn't matter how much cum you release in me."

"Oh….I'm sorry Sakura-chan I'm sorry I got you angry…it won't happen again I promise" his cerulean eyes softened feeling hurt.

The pink haired woman bit her lower lip feeling hurt for hurting his feelings. She hated herself right now it was a surprise how she would always find a way to screw things up and end up hurting the man she loves with all of her heart. The expression in his face she couldn't stand seeing him like that it makes her heart ache with so much, she hated seeing him sad or hurt. She was his girlfriend for crying out loud she was supposed to be the one to always keep him happy and bring that wonderful smile she loves so much to see, making Naruto happy was her top priority over everything else. Making the blond jounin have a happy life was her reason to live so why the hell did she have to get upset for something stupid as getting cum on her butt while they were in the middle of some passionate hardcore sex. It made her so angry it frustrated how she will sometimes get upset for the silliest things. She reached out to him and gave him a soft kiss looking back at him with a wonderful smile wanting to stop his hurting.

"Hey dummy don't be like that….I'm sorry for making you sad I didn't meant it."

"No its okay Sakura-chan you're right I messed up I shouldn't have come inside I just…."

She silenced him with her index finger"you idiot don't apologize for something so dumb I shouldn't have scold you in the first place. So what if you came on my back I kind of noticed when you did that I didn't whined because…..I was caught in the moment" she finished with a blush remembering how intense was her orgasm.

Naruto gave a smirk" you were caught in the moment just like me…"

She took the cum from her butt and started cleaning herself licking it from her hand" see I'm licking it I like it so don't get so down."

The blond jinchurikki stood there watching his girlfriend licked his seed from her ass, he thought it was hot and a turn on at the way she was licking it. It was like she was eating the most delicious thing ever like she needed it to survive. He kept his cool making sure that he didn't got another erection he did shot one huge load from his orgasm he could keep up a couple of rounds more but he controlled it, his hormones needed a break.

"There did I missed some spots?" she showed him her sexy ass checking if she still have some of his seed left.

He blushed at the bootylicious sight there wasn't any more cum on her bottom" no it's all clean…"

She giggled as she embraced him her sudden action made Naruto fall to the bed as he accepted her wonderful hug. He pulled her closer enjoying the warmth of their naked bodies the pink haired kunoichi gave him a perk while caressing one of his whiskers. He blushed he loved how she will play with them he knew she did it to tease him it felt so good to feel her fingers caressing them, he was sensitive in his whisker marks. They shared another passionate kiss this time adding some tongue action it wasn't a kiss without adding tongues, once they broke it they smiled at each other getting back to their relax embrace. They remained there for a couple of minutes relaxing in their arms nothing to worry about only on the things they have planned for today, but it was tempting to stay in bed and do nothing at all.

"What time is it?" asked the blond jounin.

Sakura gazed at the small clock on her nightstand" it's six forty five…"

He smiled pulling his cherry blossom closer to him" it's still early we can stay like this for a while, maybe resume our sleeping."

"I wish we could but we can't I have things to do today and so are you."

"I don't know if Kakashi sensei will give me a mission after all I don't have anything to do today."

"Didn't you tell me you were going to teach Konohamaru the odama rasengan?" she smirked at him.

"That's today?" Naruto blinked.

"Yes and I suggest you get going even if it's still early in the morning."

He pouted" but Sakura-chan I want to stay with you Konohamaru is probably not even awake yet, I don't have to wake up either…"

"Since when we ninjas need a reason to stay in bed sleeping we're not lazy slugs, we always have to be discipline and responsible that also counts in doing our job to follow the rules, getting up early is one of those responsibilities" she frowned at him.

"But I love you…" he gave a small pout.

Sakura threw him rudely from her bed hitting the ground. He wasn't expecting to get thrown off like that from the woman he loves but then again maybe he did deserve the rude awakening for acting so lazy.

"Sakura-chan…." He rubbed his head.

The pink haired woman crossed her arms showing her serious expression" are you really Naruto-kun or a worst copy of Shikamaru?"

"Huh a worst copy of Shikamaru" he sweat dropped at her comment.

"At least Shikamaru would get up early even if he will be whining saying how troublesome it is. You said you were going to teach Konohamaru the odama rasengan now get up, get dressed and take a shower!"

The blond jinchurikki finally gave up sighing in defeat he got up he couldn't argue with a upset pink haired medic she was his boss and he didn't have a problem with that" you're right Sakura-chan I will do as you said, I did promise Konohamaru I was going to teach him…"

His comment made her smiled before he started putting a pair of pants he found lying on the ground, he was having some trouble putting them on.

"Naruto-kun?" Sakura sweat dropped.

"Argh what gives Sakura-chan these pants don't fit me?"

"Of course they won't fit you those are MY pants!" she sighed picking all of the clothes that belong to him.

"Oops sorry I didn't notice it" he gave a goofy grin before removing the black pair of shorts getting back to his naked form.

"Don't forget to wear your boxers" she sweat dropped again while he still had his goofy grin on his face.

"Right I need my boxers too heh…"

She handed him his clothes" here you go, take a shower and get dress I will go and make breakfast."

Naruto gave a big smile" oh I love your cooking so much Sakura-chan!"

She rolled her eyes he always said the same thing ever since she perfected her cooking" just go already idiot…"

The blond jinchurikki left her room while Sakura watched him leave her jade eyes were glued to his ass, like she was being hypnotize watching the nice formed bottom go back and forth with every step he took' mmm….that's one fine piece of ass right there.'

She blush thinking about her boyfriends' bottom before she got dress and left heading to the kitchen to cook the breakfast.

(Scene change time skip)

(Location: Uchiha household Uchiha clan district)

Sasuke was having one of those days when he was feeling very lazy and he didn't had the motivation to wake up or even get up from bed. He was having a good sleep the best rest he has had since he has returned to Konoha in three years, usually he will have some trouble sleeping. With everything he's been through in his life it was no wonder how he couldn't sleep peacefully his past was a living hell, the Uuchiha massacre, Itachi's way of tormenting him reminding him how he weak he used to be, finding out the truth behind the massacre, the death of his team members from hawk. He has actually forgot what it was like to have a nice sleep with no troubles, no stress, just peace and quiet. He smiled in his sleep slowly he opened his eyes, his onyx eyes looked around his room a scowl was formed on his lips he was awake making him in a bad mood. Just when he wanted to stay sleeping for once he felt lazy probably lazier than Shikamaru when he's in the morning couldn't he just take a day off so he could waste it sleeping, it was frustrating him. He hoped he didn't had to do any missions today and that was very rare coming from him who constantly hoped that he get a high rank mission, today was a big exception. There was no way he was going to get up today his plans for the day were to sleep all day and that was his final decision. He did gave a mental note that he started having a goodnight sleep since Hinata was staying with him, he smiled going back to sleep.

Suddenly his nose caught the scent of something burning on a grill or casserole, it was food being cooked and it smelled delicious. He has never smelled such an exquisite and mouth watering smell he knew it tasted very good a smile was formed on his lips. Now he knew he couldn't go back to his sleep with the wonderful aroma hitting his nose thrills tempting him to get up and follow his nose to the food site. He knew who was the one cooking his friend who was living with him this was the exact hour she will start cooking breakfast. He smiled in agreement if there was one person who could cook it has to be Hinata, she was the only woman he knew who was a prodigy at cooking. He sighed he gave up there was no way he will be able to fall asleep again with the fresh aroma coming from his kitchen, at the same time his stomach made a loud growl he was hungry just in time. He got up from his bed taking his regular clothes, but first he needed to take a shower. As he prepared his clothes he couldn't stop thinking of the food his appetite was getting the best of him, his mouth was already watering dying to have a taste of the kunoichi's cooking.

(Scene change time skip)

Sasuke left the bathroom wearing his regular clothes heading to the kitchen his nose was really taking the effect of the smell. The closer he got to the kitchen the stronger and wonderful the smell of the food was reaching to his nose, it only helped fueling his appetite even more. He entered the kitchen he gave a small smile watching the sight, for a moment his heart was beating quicker than usual staring like he was in a daze. Hinata was wearing a white apron which it used to belong to his mother Mikoto he agreed that if she wanted she could wear it, it looked good on her. She was wearing a grey mesh shirt with a dark blue skirt reaching to her knees with blue sandals he admitted she looked nice with the clothes she was wearing. He was able to take a look at her long perfect legs along with her white creamy skin it go well with her beautiful face, last but not least her assets. Even if she was wearing the apron her chest was still noticeable it was hard to covered E cup breasts through an apron and bindings, the Hyuga kunoichi wasn't comfortable with showing too many details of her body. She was still a little insecure in that department even if men will have tons of nose bleeds and women would kill to have her voluptuous body. He was caught watching the food she was making it was his favorite food rice ball with green tea it didn't surprised him at all. Before he knew it he was caught in his little world of fantasies concerning him and the Hyuga beauty.

"Ooohhh Sasuke-kun faster deeper aaahhhh ooooohhh yes more give it to me more!"

He snapped from the thought why would he be having such impure thoughts in the first place, it wasn't the first time though. If it wasn't thoughts it was dreams about his fantasies involving the Hyuga beauty he was a man after all and sometimes hormones can get the best of someone, turning into a sex starve pervert was the last thing he needed. But at the same time he was happy to have her here when he wasn't thinking with his hormones the kunoichi was someone he has come to care a lot, perhaps because she reminded him so much of his mother. Just looking at Hinata cooking the breakfast he was able to tell how much similarity she has to Mikoto even the same personality. The Uchiha female was kind, calm and she always hide her strength which she was one of the strongest kunoichi among the Uchiha clan and Konoha's kunoichi. He smiled at her it makes him happy to have here he realized he needed her, because she was probably the closest thing he had to his mother the woman who gave birth to him. He was too caught up staring at her that Hinata has finally noticed him in the kitchen, she smiled at him while trying to die the blush he looked cute with his regular clothes.

"Good morning Sasuke-kun I didn't see you there breakfast will be ready soon!"

"Thanks I'll wait at the table…"

She nodded watching him leave she started putting the food on the plates. She was so happy that she was finally independent she always wanted to cook on her own. Back at the Hyuga compound she couldn't cook because that was the job of the branch members, to cook for everyone and the members of the main branch. But now that she was no longer part of the clan she can finally do things she couldn't do back at the clan, cleaning and cooking among other things. She like doing chores it was like having some sort of training in order to clean your house, it was an exercise training to keep the house clean. She smiled enjoying her freedom she always wanted to live in a house that wasn't the clan's household on her own where she couldn't be control by the rules of the Hyuga clan, her life couldn't get any better especially when she was living with her close friend. She finally finished making breakfast putting the rice balls on a plate along with her meal, she left the kitchen leaving the orange juice behind she was coming back for it later. She arrived on the table settling the plates down Sasuke left to the kitchen and he returned with the orange juice helping her, she smiled at his kind gesture he could be polite when he wanted to.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun…"

"It's the least I could do with you always cooking."

She smiled" it's enough for me."

They got on their knees on the table before they started eating. Sasuke tasted his first rice ball his taste buds felt like they have experiencing an pleasurable explosion due to the delicious taste he has never tasted such rice balls before, not even from the ones he has ate in restaurants. This rice balls were unique they were nothing like them in the village or in the five countries they were simply the best period at least to the Uchiha thought so. Hinata smiled eating her own cooking she was very pleased how good it tasted she has learned through the years from reading different cooking books. She couldn't test her cooking skills back when she was living with the Hyuga clan, she was happy she could finally give it a try now that she was living with Sasuke. She gazed at him eating the rice balls looking very hungry she gave a warm smile, she has seen how kind and cordial he could be like a true gentlemen. The Uchiha has asked her plenty of times that it was all right that she didn't had to work herself cooking but she insisted because she likes cooking. He has also insisted that they could eat in a restaurant but Hinata told him that she will be happy to cook for the both of them, not that he didn't complain because he loves her cooking very much. Both have realized that they enjoy each other's company.

It was a mystery to Sasuke both he and Hinata were so different it scared him, but at the same time they were the same it didn't make sense. He was rude, impolite, emo, had a tragic past, hates Konoha, antisocial when he felt like it, as well that he wasn't very talkative. Hinata was completely the opposite from him she was nice, kind, sweet, like talking to her friends she cares for everyone, great cook and she wasn't the kind of person to hold a grudge of hatred with anyone she was his opposite as well as in gender. Yet he felt that they were exactly the same not knowing how he figured out a while back that the only thing they had in common that both of them wanted to be acknowledged by their father and their desire to make their clan proud of them, but it never happened. He lost his clan at the hands of his own brother under direct orders by the elders Hinata was never treated highly by her father like him she was living under the shadow of her younger sister Hanabi when it came to skills. She left her clan because it wasn't worth it to keep trying anymore when it was useless, she couldn't gain something that she will never have knowing that her father didn't saw her as a potential kunoichi in the first place. They had something in common at least one thing that will be enough for him he didn't intended to complain.

He knew that she cared for him after hearing what she thought of him, she considered him her friend. He could still remember her words when Neji was here he felt so happy in fact he has never felt so happy since in a very long time. The former Hyuga heiress has become an important friend just like his teammates from team seven he has seen how much she cares for him. He felt like he needed to protect and keep the bond he has forged with her he wasn't planning in destroying their strong friendship, thanks to Naruto he has come to understand how important and powerful bonds are. After all he only had a little of people who were his friends and who didn't hate him, only seeing him as a traitor. She was one of the few who care for him so he was going to make sure that he cares for her and treats her like a true friend she is, he was flattered and grateful for her. He felt like he owed her a lot and maybe someday he will repay the favor it was the least he could do. They were eating quietly enjoying the tasty breakfast while the Uchiha was in deep thought there was one topic that was always brought back to his mind, about Hinata remaining an outsider from her clan. Was she doing the right thing in leaving he knew the clan or rather her father won't stood up to this he's not going to stay with his arms cross, he will probably find a way to get her back to the Hyuga clan.

He looked at her who was enjoying the food it was enough that the village already had a traitor who's not worth to be back as one of their own, there was no need for another to join him in the loser club. He didn't care if the village hated him forever he always tried to ignore the villagers but the question he was asking for, will Hinata be able to withstand it. He knew it the moment she left her clan was the day that her image will be change forever the people won't look at her the same anymore. She will not be the heiress of the Hyuga main branch but rather an outcast who failed to meet the clan's standards, he didn't know what to do he had no right to interfere it was up to her to decided what to do with her life. He took another bite from his rice ball in deep thought was it a fair that another person be treated like lower trash, especially when that person was a close friend of his. He took a sip from his orange juice thinking things through he enjoy having her here but it comes at a terrible risk, he was happy with the choice she made but was she happy with herself. Looking at her happy expression she wasn't bothered with her decision at all it's like she was living her life for the better, could she be having a happy life staying with him.

He took another bite his taste buds reacted to the delicious taste" these are good…"

Hinata swallowed one of her rice balls smiling" I'm glad you like them rice balls are your favorite food."

"It's the best I have tasted I think there's no one else who can make them any better…."

His compliment made the kunoichi blush" thank you I'm always focusing a lot on the quality of my cooking."

"It's good quality" he replied taking another bite from his remaining rice ball.

"Just let me know if you want more, I will be happy to make you more."

"That will be all right I almost full" he swallowed another piece from his food taking a glance at her" it's not my place to speak about this….do you regret leaving the Hyuga clan?"

He was expecting that she will hesitate and feel uncertain but instead she shook her head" not at all I'm fine with my decision. I haven't been this happy in a long time I don't regret it…"

"You really don't like your clan…"

"You would feel the same way if you were part of the Hyuga main branch. I was never fond of their methods and rules, the elder's ways of teaching always treating the branch members like they were mere slaves treating them like they were emotionless tools. Then the branch members were marked by the bird cage seal like they were marked cattle for the purpose to keep them in line so they were obedient and follow orders, a way to destroy their freedom of speech and free will."

"That's how a prestigious and powerful clan like the Hyuga do things, they are proud and strict they support power as well as obedience. If they find people who are a potential threat to them they will find a way to eliminate them, you should know that" Sasuke took another sip from his orange juice.

The Hyuga kunoichi nodded" I do when I was in the clan I felt like a prisoner just like the branch members. I felt like I couldn't be myself I felt like I was out of place, I tried hard to be worthy in my father's eyes but I was only a weakling to him. Being in the clan only showed me how unhappy was my life I don't live with a family, but rather clan where freedom doesn't exists I couldn't be there anymore. I finally had it when father rejected me for the last time, that's why I decided to leave it felt right and I don't regret my choice…"

The Uchiha nodded" can you continue living happy the way things are?"

Hinata smiled at him" I am happy being here with you Sasuke-kun…ugh I mean I'm happy living here" she blushed at the first part, the way she said it in a intimate kind of way.

His onyx eyes showed some sorrow" can you really be happy being near me….?" He said in a whisper.

"What?"

"It's nothing…." he finished his last rice ball.

She paused eating on her last rice ball feeling a little hurt looking at him" Sasuke-kun you don't want me to stay with you?"

The Uchiha sighed" I believe I told you once that I don't bother that you're here, why do you keep thinking that?"

"I feel like I'm a burden here…."

"You're not I don't mind having company staying here, it's a big place" he took a sip from his orange juice' also it gets lonely here…'

She smiled at him" thank you it means a lot to me that you're letting me stay here. I promise I will repay your kind deed…"

"Hn…" he was in deep thought" you don't have to it's all right…"

Hinata smiled at him taking another bite from her last rice ball she felt happy whenever the Uchiha will open up to her, although it was hard for him to do so. Sasuke has always been the kind of person who keeps himself distant from those around him, he wasn't the social who likes to make friends or desperate to get attention. He didn't opened up to no one even to his friends from team seven Naruto and Sakura, it took a while for him to start opening up to those two and get used to their company. Little by little he has started opening up to her which means that she has probably become a good friend of his, at least she hoped for. She swallowed her piece of her rice ball before she meet eyes with him both of them were staring at each other before she gave him a smile, to her surprise he gave a small smile. He was done drinking his orange and decided to wait for Hinata to finished eating, showing some courtesy. He suddenly heard a knock on his door leaving the table while the kunoichi was still eating her last rice ball.

When he answered the door he saw his teammate Sakura wearing her regular outfit. There was a small problem with the pink haired medic chances were high that she might find out about Hinata living with him, he has done everything to keep things quiet for the past few days but it wasn't meant to last in a ninja village. They will eventually find out about the Hyuga's defection from her clan and the truth that she was staying with him, people will start hearing rumors and the rumors will spread. It won't be long before the truth escapes and everyone will find out that Hinata was now an outsider for leaving her family clan. He gave her his usual stoic look or more precise his emo expression making sure that she didn't suspicious that he was hiding something from her.

"Hey…."

"Hi Sasuke-kun just checking in, I wanted to tell you if you were coming with us tonight?"

"Tonight….about what?"

The pink haired woman sighed" you know we're going to spend time together the three of us you me and Naruto-kun. Good old team seven together."

"I don't know…."

She frowned at his comment and attitude" you said that you wanted to spend more time with us, we don't have an exact place to go but the point is that we're together and hang out like the old days. Now you're having second thoughts don't be like that especially Naruto-kun he's really looking forward for tonight."

"I did say that but it seems it's going to turn into one of your dates with Naruto I don't want to be a third wheel."

"It won't be a date just the three of us hanging out I promise you that there won't be no making out between me and Naruto-kun, I will have that idiot in his place so he doesn't get any ideas" she smiled she was the one in control of her boyfriend and the one wearing the pants in their relationship.

"You could be the one to make the first move on the dobe" the Uchiha gave a grin.

"What was that?" Sakura gave him a warning look.

"Nothing…."

"Hmph…you're really asking for it. But come on don't shut us down Sasuke-kun we really want you to be there."

He nodded" fine I'll think about it…"

"You'll think about it how about saying yes?" she sweat dropped.

"Hn…"

"I don't think that counts as a yes."

"Sasuke-kun I made dessert would you like some?" Hinata came to the entrance.

Sakura blinked seeing the Hyuga kunoichi her eyes fell on the apron she was wearing. A dozen of thoughts were running through her head just by looking at her, one of them was what was she doing here. Looking at the apron she was obviously cooking for Sasuke but why, and then another thought came to her mind that there was the possibility that she was staying with him which she considered it to be crazy. Sasuke sighed in annoyance now he will have no choice but to tell his friend about Hinata's reason for staying with him while the Hyuga beauty was feeling awkward about the situation. She thought the person who visited the Uchiha would have left by now but she wasn't expecting it will be her friend, she remembered the friendship bracelet she gave her which she have treasured as something precious to her. The pink haired medic looked at Sasuke, then Hinata, the back at the Uchiha, then back at the Hyuga kunoichi and forth she did that for a minute. She was really confused not knowing what was going on she was feeling a little lost, last she checked Hinata lived at the Hyuga compound not here which it was very weird. Of course other thoughts such as that they were together ran through her head but she completely ignored that, there was no way that was true. Remembering what Ino told her that both of them have been spending a lot of time together.

"Okay…." She replied looking at the two" did I….did I miss anything?"

Sasuke sighed" there's no point in trying to hide it now" he took a glance at Hinata.

"What do you mean?" Sakura was still staring at the two ninjas" what's going on?"

The pale eyed kunoichi nodded understanding Sasuke's point" Sakura-san I think you should come inside, there's something I need to tell you."

"Sure okay…." She was still uncertain about what was going on.

"Come on in" Sasuke let her in.

(Time skip)

Sakura was seated on her knees of the table listening to every single Hinata was telling him, she stood carefully listening to what she has to say. The Hyuga kunoichi told her everything her reason to leave the clan, the way her father has always treated her and her limit with his actions. Her choice in leaving the Hyuga clan after trying so hard to earn his acknowledgement, years of trial and error wasted because it was a failure. The pink haired woman nodded understanding her point although she was quite amazed to find out that she had such a backbone to stand up to her father and defy him, she was a bit proud of her. It took a lot of guts to do something like that plus that she actually walked away from him without a single hint of fear in her, it was impressive since she has always thought of Hinata as someone quiet and insecure. It proved that she was no longer the old shy girl who used to fidget and hide behind a tree another thing that surprised her that she was staying with Sasuke living in his house she never thought she would see the day. She knew things were about to get a little complicated with her decision and she was already trying to come up with a solution.

"And that's what happened Sakura-san….I chose on my own to leave the Hyuga clan I couldn't take it anymore…" Hinata finished with her story.

"Oh wow a lot has happened all right…I really missed on a lot, and now you're living with Sasuke-kun?"

She nodded giving a smile to the Uchiha" it's not bad staying here I have actually enjoy my stay it's a lot better than being back at the clan's household."

"Hn…." Sasuke replied not sounding too interested in the conversation.

Sakura frowned at her teammate" having Hinata here I'm sure you're relaxing now, I bet you have turned her into a real slave driver making her do all the work in your house."

A vein popped on Sasuke-s forehead" I haven't asked her to do anything…"

"It's all right Sakura-san I'm the one who volunteered to do most of the chores I don't mind. I really like it I have never had the chance to clean or do any kinds of chores because branch members did all of them back at the compound."

The pink haired kunoichi crossed her arms her frown was still present in her face keeping an eye on the Uchiha" all the better for you to take advantage and make her do all the chores isn't that right?"

"Would you stop accusing me like I was a lazy bum I can do all the chores in my house, I used to do them before Hinata got here and I can still do them now" he gave her a mean comical look.

"Then how about if you do it?" Sakura replied" Hinata is the guest in your house and she shouldn't be cleaning it especially when it's your house."

"Hn…" he gave a scowl.

She sighed turning to Hinata" so you really want to do this, being away from the clan?"

"I'll be fine I can take care of my own…" Hinata gave another smile.

"Are you sure you're doing the right thing?"

"Yes I always wanted to have some freedom in my life being part of the Hyuga clan was preventing from having that freedom. I feel so much better now I don't have to get concern with the rules of the clan anymore."

"I guess…you're old enough to make your own decisions and if you chose to leave the clan then there's nothing they can do in the matter. You have also lost your status as heiress of the clan too" replied Sakura.

"My sister Hanabi took her rightful place as the heiress of the main branch she was always more suited for the job than me…"

"I see…." She stood in deep thought' I guess she's pretty comfortable with her decision and she doesn't regretted it at all that's good I want to support her.'

The pink haired woman stood quiet watching both Hinata and Sasuke looking at each other. He was still not feeling happy with her comment about him not cleaning his house and letting the Hyuga kunoichi being his personal maid, there was something about it. The way she was looking at him giving him a smile that it was unique full of happiness, full of life she has seen it before. It reminded her as the same kind of smile that she will give to Naruto of pure affection it was a true smile, her jade eyes widened. Just looking at Hinata gazed at Sasuke with that same smile and remembering what Ino told her she couldn't believe it she wasn't stupid when it came to that topic, called love. It was pretty clear when she looked at her it was predictable but she still couldn't believe it to be true, it was too shocking to believe. It was best for her to have a talk with the former Hyuga heiress in private Sasuke couldn't know, she was still unsure of the situation and she needed to make sure what it was all about. By now Sasuke has started cleaning his house taking the broom beginning to sweep the floor, he was mumbling about what she told him earlier. It seems he has taken his attention from the two he wasn't focusing that he had guests focusing too much on his chore, he already planned more of the chores ahead.

"Hinata can we talk outside…alone?"

The Hyuga kunoichi took her attention from the Uchiha to her friend" sure…"

They left the table while Sasuke was seeping the floor with a scowl on his face he wasn't in a happy mood' I never treated Hinata like a slave driver I didn't even told her that she can clean my house every day I'm not taking advantage of her.'

(Outside the Uchiha household)

"What is it Sakura-san?"

"Hinata….we're friends right?"

She smiled showing her the friendship bracelet she gave her" of course we are I have the proof right here."

The pink haired medic smiled" I'm glad you like it, I know this is going to sound a little sudden or rush but I'm going to ask you a personal question I hope you can answer it honestly…"

"Sure I don't see a problem…." The pale eyed kunoichi was starting to sound a little uncertain.

Sakura took a deep breath knowing that the question was going to shocked her or probably worst" do you…do you like Sasuke-kun?"

"What….eh?" Hinata was shocked her cheeks flushed from the sudden question" Sa…Sakura-san I…"

"Do you really like him Hinata?" the pink haired woman asked again.

The Hyuga kunoichi took a step back feeling nervous it wasn't long before her face started heating up, uncertainty hitting her. She was feeling insecure like she couldn't do this she wasn't expecting that she will be asked such question, she managed to cut off Neji when he was about to tell her the exact thing but now she didn't know what to do. The pink haired woman could tell with her expression that she was hiding something like a big secret along with her behavior around the Uchiha, it all falls into place making sense. Although she was fidgeting feeling so nervous Sakura couldn't help but smile it was weird for her to like someone like Sasuke but she was happy for her, she needed some happiness. She wasn't the only one deserving to have a chance to be happy but her friend and teammate too Sasuke needs someone too after everything he's been through, she didn't mind if there was a chance for them to get together. It wasn't easy though since both of them were from two different elite clans which it makes it look weirder for both of them to get together. It was strange to see a Hyuga and an Uchiha as a couple she was still staring at Hinata who was still looking uncertain trying her best not to get nervous but it was too late, she was blushing by now.

"Hinata…?" Sakura smiled" it's all right if you like him there's nothing to feel embarrass about."

"I…no…it's not that Sasuke-kun he's just my friend that's all…" she tried to sound very convincing but she failed, she didn't even believe the life herself.

The pink haired kunoichi crossed her arms in amusement with a smirk" Hinata who are you trying to fool me or you?"

"I…." she lowered her gaze she felt Sakura putting her hands on her shoulders she looked back at her" Sakura-san…?"

"You like him don't you?"

The Hyuga beauty didn't reply she only gave a small nod" I don't know what to do…"

"Does he like you back?"

"What….Sasuke-kun no of course he doesn't feel that way about me…we're just friends."

"But you would like to be more than just friends right?" she gave a playful smile.

"I….I guess…." She blushed slightly" I know it will never happen…"

"How can you be so sure if you haven't talk to him?"

Her pale eyes widened" no I can't do that I…..I don't want to risk our friendship I know he will never feel the same for me but I will like to keep things the way they are. Having Sasuke-kun as my friend is enough for me, I'm not that desperate to have a relationship with him I did just recently broke up with Naruto-kun."

"I don't want to push you but maybe you should give it a try, you may never know Sasuke-kun might feel the same way about you. I looked at the two of you and I saw how he acted near you, he seems like he has gotten so close to someone closer to me or even Naruto-kun."

The former Hyuga heiress gave a smile" thank you Sakura-san for encouraging me but like I said I want things to stay like this. Sasuke-kun is not the kind of person who is motivated to have a girlfriend after everything he's been through, right now the one thing he needs is friends. He needs to be reminded of how precious bonds are you, Naruto-kun, Kakashi sensei, and everyone from our group."

"Everyone excluding Neji" smirked Sakura remembering that they don't see eye to eye.

She giggled at her comment" I guess…"

"Don't forget about you I'm sure Sasuke-kun sees you as an important friend too."

The Hyuga kunoichi nodded" I hope I become an important friend to him…"

"You will I have never seen him acting so openly before, you must be having that effect on him."

"I hope you're right…"

Hinata stood in deep thought looking at the laughing Sakura' I think it will be best if I don't tell her about the kiss…' she blushed remembering the soft kiss she shared with the Uchiha back at their mission to hidden grass village.

(Scene change)

(Location: Hokage office fire tower)

Kakashi was doing another pile of paperwork due that he has been slacking off lately, namely on his work for the upcoming Itcha Itcha paradise book. It was been quiet, too quiet there hasn't been any dangers in a while making him feel uneasy. Since the mysteriously vanished Akatsuki the five countries has been relaxing enjoying some peace and tranquility it didn't meant that they were no longer in danger. They still haven't found any lead of the criminal organization in three years and each passing day trouble him a lot, none of the ANBU team that were assigned to find them hasn't found a thing. It meant that they were hiding well that not even professional trackers like ANBU couldn't find them it made him wonder what they were planning that will take so long to resume their plan in capturing the remaining jinchurikkis. It was going to be another busy say for him, he wasn't feeling well with the current situation of Sasuke with what happened and Heaven and Earth Bridge, and he was attacked with Hinata by stone ninjas. Then there was also Naruto's situation in his mission with Konohamaru going to the hidden rain village he didn't know who to believe, but he did trusts his two students. He heard a knock on his door and replied that they come in, he saw Shizune entering along with Sai and Yamato wearing their usual uniforms.

"You wanted to see us sempai?" Yamato said.

"I did but first…" Kakashi looked at Shizune.

The raven haired woman nodded showing him a message scroll" this is the reply from the Tsuchikage about that matter you asked for."

He nodded taking the scroll from her and opened it his eye never left the writing reading it cautiously. His facial expression changed as he continues to read it the content was serious for him to take a short pause, while Sai and Yamato were still waiting for the reason he called them. He finished reading the scroll before he close it down and placed it on his desk he was in deep thought at everything he read.

'So it's just as I thought…if my suspicions are true then we're in for something big.'

"It's a good thing I called upon you two in time to receive the message. Yamato Sai I have a mission for the two of you."

"We're ready any time" replied Sai.

The mask Hokage nodded" you know about the incident at the Heaven and Earth bridge during Sasuke and Hinata's mission to hidden grass?"

Yamato nodded" they were attacked by jounins from hidden stone."

"At least that's what Sasuke-kun claims" Sai added.

"Hinata also confirms the same thing I trust both of them. A while back I sent a message to the Tsuchikage asking him about this situation an attack like this could lead to a war so I have to be careful to what I wrote in the message. I wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, so I finally received his answer…"

"What does it say?" asked Shizune.

Kakashi stood quiet before speaking again" he says that he checked his ninja records and he doesn't have any ninjas that resembled Sasuke's descriptions on them. He also says that he hasn't sent any of his ninjas to the location of the hidden grass, he clarifies that there wasn't any stone ninjas at the Heaven and Earth Bridge."

"Can we really trust the Tsuchikage's judgment?" Yamato said.

"I believe we can the Tsuchikage's in regards with his age he's very proud, I doubt that he will lie about something serious like this. He knows the great risk if this turns out to be true Hinata is the heiress of the Hyuga clan, attacking someone with her status could easily lead both villages to war."

"And Sasuke-kun?" Sai replied.

"That's another story" Kakashi gave a sigh even though he gave the Uchiha the right to be heir of his clan the other hidden villages still viewed him as a criminal for his treachery.

"I see but if the Tsuchikage isn't lying then Sasuke he could be the one lying…" Shizune said.

"Like I said I trust Sasuke and Hinata also said that they were attacked by ninjas from hidden stone."

"Well someone must be the one lying?" Yamato said.

"I believe both are telling the truth" replied the mask Hokage.

The three were now confused by his comment things couldn't get more confusing, or complicated.

"You're not making any sense Kakashi" Shizune said.

"I know both of them are telling the truth, however I believe there's something else involve in all of this or should I say someone else…"

"What do you mean?" asked Sai.

"You mean a third entity could be behind this whole ordeal?" Yamato added.

He nodded" it's not just the attack at the Heaven and Earth Bridge but the attack on Naruto and Konohamaru during their mission to the hidden rain village as well."

"But that's different the ones who attacked Naruto-kun and Konohamaru-kun were ANBU from hidden mist, according to Naruto-kun's mission report it can't be connected to the stone ninjas that attacked Sasuke and Hinata" Shizune said.

"But I believe they are connected and that the third person is somehow responsible for the attacks" replied Kakashi.

"It doesn't make sense…" the raven haired woman replied rubbing her forehead trying to control an incoming headache.

"I will have to agree with Shizune on this one sempai how can those attacks be connected?" asked Yamato.

"Do you have any proof?" Sai added.

"I do, I wouldn't be saying all of this if I didn't have any evidence to prove my point. The first evidence is from the bingo book that Sasuke retrieved from one of those stone ninjas, according to him he said that his profile was written in the book."

"The bingo book was shown to the council and the page where his profile is supposed to be was blank" Yamato said.

"I hate to admit it but Sasuke could have lied about that part, they checked the book a couple of times and the page was blank, and the texture of the paper is like it hasn't being written in it for a while" Shizune replied.

"I addition to the Tsuchikage's message" the mask Hokage showed the scroll" he also says that he hasn't given any authority to write Sasuke's information on their bingo books, he's not bothered that we confiscated one of his village bingo books he acknowledges that Sasuke is no longer a missing nin…"

Both Yamato and Shizune were more confuse than before because it didn't make any sense, both were in deep thought. They knew how much their Hokage believes in Sasuke but there was nothing they can do the Uchiha was one of his students, although it was hard to believe if he was telling the truth even with Hinata backing him up. Sai was in deep thought too but he was thinking more about the bingo book and blank page there was something that was bothering him, he finally got a possible answer.

"Perhaps Sasuke-kun's information was really in the page of the bingo book" everyone was staring at the former ROOT" but when the time came it wasn't there anymore…"

"What do you mean Sai?" Shizune was more confuse than ever before.

"You mean it vanished from the page?" Yamato was starting to understand the logic.

Sai nodded" it must have vanished maybe the person behind this cast…."

"A genjutsu?" Kakashi cut him off" looks like you finally understand my way of thinking Sai."

"Once you think about it, it makes perfect sense why Sasuke-kun saw the page displaying his information and then vanished when the council was about to look at it. Perhaps the person who cast the genjutsu made it so it has a time limit, that's all I could come up with…" replied the former ROOT.

"All right I understand now and it does makes sense, but still if it was really a genjutsu don't you think Sasuke would have been able to tell if it's a genjutsu with his sharingan?" replied the raven haired woman.

"She has a point…" Yamato said.

"My theory is it must be a special genjutsu, perhaps a high rank genjutsu that it could possible make the sharingan useless when it comes to detect genjutsu" said the mask Hokage.

'Kakashi I think you're putting too much trust in Sasuke' Shizune thought not that she didn't trusted the Uchiha but she has her limits in trusting people, and her limit with Sasuke was almost reaching it's final peak.

"That could be it, at least we now had strong suspicious that someone hiding in the shadows is responsible" Yamato said.

Sai nodded" what's the second proof Kakashi-san?"

"The second proof is from Naruto and Konohamaru's mission to hidden rain. From Naruto's mission report he said that when he was fighting those ANBU from mist, he used a rasengan on one of them and….it went right through him."

"What?" Shizune's eyes widened from the shock.

"You mean that the rasengan fazed through him like he was some kind of ghost?" Yamato was shocked but he felt like he has seen such thing before.

"It sounds familiar…" Sai said remembering where he has seen it before.

Kakashi nodded" I believe we have seen that before from one of our past missions."

"You have?" Shizune replied.

"Now I remember!" Yamato said" when we were in the mission to search for Itachi and Sasuke years ago, on the way leading to Sasuke's location we ran in with two members of Akatsuki."

"Yes I remember too one of them was a man that resembles some kind of plant, I believe his name is Zetsu" Sai added.

"The first member we met before Zetsu what was his name….Tobi the one wearing that orange swirl mask. I remember Naruto using a rasengan on him and it went through him along with Naruto" replied the wood user.

"The same thing happened to Kiba when he tried to attack him" said the former ROOT.

Shizune was shocked but now it makes sense all the pieces were finally being put together" this can't be a coincidence…this must be somehow related to those attacks."

"Akatsuki must be connected in all of this" Yamato replied.

The mask Hokage nodded" that's what I believe it seems that we are finally hearing from them after not being active in three years. However they are being very cautious and they are planning their moves very swiftly making it difficult to figure out what they're up to."

"We know that they're after Naruto-kun as a jinchurikki" Sai replied.

"Let's not forget about the eight tails too he and Naruto-kun are the only jinchurikkis left" Shizune said.

"What does this mean sempai should we be starting to get ready for another Akatsuki attack on the village?" asked Yamato.

"We still don't know what they are planning; they are obviously planning something big for them to remain in hiding for so long. That's what leads me for the mission I have for the two of you, Yamato Sai I want you to go to the exact coordinates where the attacks took place."

"So it's a mission to hidden rain and the Heaven and Earth Bridge?" replied the wood user.

"You two are the best suited for this mission as best trackers, along with your experiences in ANBU and ROOT this won't be too hard for the two of you. Checking those coordinates we might get a lead on Akatsuki and their whereabouts…if we're lucky."

"The ANBU teams that were sent to investigate and hunt down the Akatsuki haven't found anything yet, what are the chances that we will find something?" asked Sai.

Kakashi smiled at them" I believe in the two of you I always have a lot of faith in my ninjas."

Yamato chuckle" that will be enough sempai."

"You are to leave immediately also Sai keep me in contact with one of your ink messages if you find anything."

Sai nodded as he and Yamato left the office.

The mask Hokage sighed" so much for peace and relaxation, it wasn't meant to last forever."

"So Akatsuki has finally started to make their move after so long, no doubt they will go after Naruto-kun" Shizune said worried.

"There's nothing to worry about Akatsuki are short in members and they basically have the five hidden villages as their enemies, not to mention that Naruto isn't the same old weakling he was back then. They will have one heck of a fight in their hands if they want to capture him."

The raven haired woman nodded with a smile" he even defeated Pain who was considered one of the strongest ninjas in the five countries and wielder of the legendary dojutsu the rinnegan, not even Jiraiya-sama couldn't defeat him but Naruto-kun he…"

"This time it won't be easy for Akatsuki to get their hands on the jinchurikkis, what worries me is that they are planning something big to stay in the dark for three years…"

Shizune nodded in agreement with the mask Hokage she was feeling the same with the situation.

(Scene change time skip)

(Location: urban district village center Konoha)

Naruto was finally done teaching Konohamaru the odama rasengan. So far the chunin was almost getting the hang to perform the strong jutsu he had to admit he was very stubborn and refused to give up. He was determined to learn the next stage of the odama rasengan the training lasted for three hours and that was because he was too exhausted to continue so he decided to give him a break until the next day. He smiled if they keep it up it won't be long before he masters it, he remembered how he taught him rasengan he laughed out loud. Konohamaru thought he was teaching him a powerful version of the sexy jutsu he completely brainwashed the young Sarutobi with his perverted nature it was all thanks to his training with Jiraiya, he gave a goofy smile walking the streets. Looking around the villagers passing by they were giving him the usual hero treatment making him embarrassed, after all these years he was still not getting used to be treated so highly and respected. They smiled at him giving him cordial greetings while some people asked him if they wanted to have ramen with him, sadly he had to kindly refuse the tempting offer because he has plans with his girlfriend. Sakura told him to meet her at the library although his stomach was growling at him demanding for a nice hot bowl of ramen, he hold the thought for next time holding his hunger being with his pink haired girlfriend was more important. He was finally in the last street that leads to the Konoha library before he was meeting by a group of people they were all in front of him.

He had to sweat dropped his fan girls we're here this is the last thing he needed, or the last people he wanted to see. He was in a hurry not to mention that now that he was together with the pink haired medic things were very complicated when it comes to his fan club. He had to shiver in fear mentally imagining what Sakura will do to him if she finds him with his fan girls ogling and daydreaming about him, however there was a problem. He could easily tell them right now that he didn't had time for them if all of them were showing his one true weakness especially when he was hungry, his mouth started watering at the sight. The young women were all showing him hot bowls of ramen no doubt that they were the ones who made them just for him, the blond jounin was more focused on the delicious sight rather than most of them we're wearing tight shirts that were showing their nice cleavages. Sweat started pouring from his forehead talked about fighting temptation from your stomach the sight was enough to make his stomach growled like a wild Kyuubi ready to go on a rampage. He admitted he deserved a gold medal for not going and devoured all the ramen bowls being offered to him by his wonderful fan club, he finally cleared his head facing the girls.

The fan girls however were very excited eagerly waiting for this moment. They have heard the rumors that Hinata has broken up with him meaning that their number one man was finally single, ready to be claim and taken. They all had the chance they have been waiting for a long time to finally make the blond jounin theirs they were going to let anyone have him. They knew they will have to fight themselves to get him and they didn't care if it means they will have Naruto for their boyfriend, it was worth the shot. They were going to act now because there was no chance in hell they were going to let another woman take him, they will kill to have their hot blond.

He was still sweating fighting temptation' please Kami give me the strength to control my hunger I'm suppose to meet Sakura-chan, I don't want to be late she will get angry.'

"Everyone I…." he started.

"Naruto-kun we have been looking everywhere for you" one of the fan girls gave him a cute pout.

"Look you guys I…." he started again but he was cut off.

"You're always so busy you don't have time to spent with us but we understand Naruto-kun" she winked at him.

"You must be hungry here we made you some of your favorite food" another fan girl offered his the hot bowl of ramen.

The blond jinchurikki was now sweating bullets the smell was now hitting his nose trills badly, his mouth was watering even more his stomach was going crazy' damn the ramen smells so good I'm going to die here.'

He gazed at the end of the street' the library is so close please Kami don't let Sakura-chan see me or she will kill me…'

"Look I really have to get going…"

"Don't go Naruto-kun please taste my ramen."

"No taste mine!"

"No mine!"

"Mine!"

"Everyone that's enough I can't stay I'm leaving now!" Naruto raised his voice starting to leave.

"You're not going anywhere until you taste one of our ramen bowls!"

He gulped hearing that his stomach was still growling' damn it why couldn't have ramen before coming to the library?'

"Naruto-kun taste my ramen!"

"No he will taste mine!"

"No mine!"

Mine!"

"Guys listen I…" he started trying to calm down the angry fan girls.

"Ahem…"

Naruto eyes widened in terror' oh no I'm dead!'

He turned around and his whole skin turned pale looking at Sakura who wasn't very happy with the sight, his fan girls we're also watching meeting up with the pink haired woman. He gulped in fear he knew she was angry she obviously got tired of waiting for him in front of the library and she finds him he's surrounded by his little fan club, it was worst that Sakura was the jealous type. She stared at him with a glare while looking at the fan girls this was the last thing she needed what else would she expect from the hero of Konoha, popularity means respect equals having fan girls. She knew that her boyfriend was probably in the brink of crapping his pants because he knew she was upset with him however she made an exception to take out her anger on the blond. Instead she glared at the fan girls they were the reason Naruto was late for coming to the library with her and it angered her even more that they were holding bowls of ramen tempting the blond jinchurikki to eat them, in a attempt to get to his heart getting through his stomach. She gave them a glare that made them take a step back she gave one last look at her boyfriend who was still shaking in fear. To his surprise she smiled at him like nothing has happened making him wonder if there was something wrong with her he knew her too well, she must be angry or maybe she was hiding all of her anger ready to unleash hell on him and his annoying fan girls.

She giggled mentally looking at her scared boyfriend' I didn't realize that Naruto-kun looks cute when he's scared.'

"Look Sakura-chan this isn't what it looks like I…"

"No Naruto-kun it's exactly what it looks like, you're here with your little fan club instead of waiting for me at the library" she frowned at him.

The fan girls were glaring at Sakura they knew all about her. She was Naruto's best friend and teammate and she was also known to them as the over protective bitch with a temper tantrum, they didn't like her. The pink haired kunoichi has become kind of a rival to them because they knew that their blond idol had a thing for her now it was critical time since Naruto was single again she was their biggest rival yet. She had the highest chances to get together with the blond jounin of course they didn't know the secret that she was already together with him, they envy her as well as disliking her guts.

Naruto gulped" Sakura-cha I didn't mean it I swear I was about to arrive at the library but they found me and they all have ramen….which smells so good" his mouth was still watering.

The pink haired woman sighed' instead of thinking of women either he's thinking of me or ramen…'

One of the fan girls sneered at her" hey you leave there's no need for you to try and protect Naruto-kun from us!"

"That's right we heard that Hyuga broke up with him so he's single now."

"Yeah we have the right to try and conquer his heart now get lost!"

A vein popped on Sakura's head getting angry with the annoying fan club' those bitches who the hells do they think they are to tell me to get lost?'

'Uh oh Sakura-chan is angry things are going to get ugly' Naruto gave another gulp.

"I guess you people don't know a thing I have some unfortunate news" Sakura gave an evil grin" I don't know how to say this but Naruto-kun has already found a new girlfriend, so you people have lost."

The fan girls gasped trying to ignore the feeling of heart break they won't admit defeat of losing their blond idol.

"You're lying!"

"We don't believe you!"

"Fine I will prove it to you then!" the pink haired medic smirked looking at the blond" Naruto-kun pulled down the neck area of your shirt."

The blond jinchurikki was now blushing from utter embarrassment at the request of his girlfriend he knew all about it and she knew too, he had no idea what she wanted him to do that" but Sakura-chan if I do that….I can't…"

"Do it now!" she growled at him.

He nodded quickly lifting down his shirt in his neck showing to everyone his expose neck. The fan girls gasped in shock some of them had their mouths wide open, while other had their jaws to the ground. On Naruto's neck his left side to be exact there was a large hickey very noticeable like a huge red spot it looks like the person responsible wanted to suck his entire neck in the process. The fan girls were blushing and in awe at the sight of the hickey they have never seen anything like it in their entire lives while Naruto was blushing in embarrassment.

"Holy shit!" one of the fan girls was so shocked that she dropped the bowl of ramen she was holding.

'Oh no the poor ramen' thought Naruto.

"Damn that's one huge hickey!"

Sakura was chuckling making the blond jounin scared at her evil expression" it is big and you want to know who gave him the hickey?"

The fan girls eyes turned wide like dinner plates when the pink haired medic gave a evil laugh" it was me that's right I'm his new girlfriend I marked him with that hickey he's my territory, my man, my boyfriend, my property he belongs to me and only me….everything about him is mine even this!"

Naruto gasped when Sakura grabbed his crotch touching his penis" this is mine too his dick is mine. I don't want to see any of you approaching him ever again because if you do, you will face my wrath now scram!"

The fan girls finally reached their limit they left running scared for their lives screaming, they obviously dropped the bowls of ramen. This last action caused Naruto to scream in horror he felt on his knees in front of the shattered bowls of the tasty noodles with comical tears falling from his cerulean eyes it was so painful to see his favorite food being wasted for nothing.

"No why the poor ramen was innocent, it looked so good and it smells so good too why?"

"Oh quit it already Naruto-kun you're always thinking with your stomach I bet you weren't even paying attention to your fan club" the pink haired medic gave a sigh' or the fact that they were basically showing their breasts to him….the sluts.'

"All that precious ramen wasted I'd rather see it in my stomach than spilled on the ground ah Sakura-chan!"

The pink haired woman was dragging her boyfriend by his shirt through the street" let's get going we already wasted enough time here!"

They reached the end of the street finally arriving at the building which it was the Konoha library. The building had the leaf symbol on the front while its doors had the sing that said open. The library was always open during the entire week from morning to sunset and it ninjas were allowed to go when they needed to find all kinds of information like jutsus, clans, even Konoha's history in general. Civilians however needed to get permission from the Hokage to enter the place since the library was more design to be use by the ninja population instead. Civilians did have their rights to search through the village historic archives to gain knowledge or to satisfy their curiosity, there was nothing wrong if they wanted to learn all kinds of things about their village. The two ninjas walked towards the building heading to the entrance while Sakura kept her eyes on her boyfriend, for some reason she felt like teasing him a little.

"Look Naruto-kun I know this place is taboo for you so please try to keep up with me here."

"What's that suppose to mean?" the blond felt hurt by her comment.

"You know you never come to the library before you hate reading books, you're not the kind of person who would want to gain some knowledge by reading" she kept her playful smirk.

Naruto gave a pout" I…I have come to the library!"

"Really?" Sakura still had her playful smirk feeling like teasing him even more" what was the last time you've been here?"

The blond jinchurikki blushed" I….just a couple of weeks ago but I like finding some good books about wind elemental ninjutsu I find them interesting. After all my element affinity is wind, I want to know about all kinds of wind jutsu maybe I can learn them some day."

The pink haired kunoichi smiled" I'm impress Naruto-kun I guess even someone like you can have a craving for knowledge through books besides craving for ramen, I expect nothing less from my whiskered blond idiot."

The blond sweat dropped at her comment" I have a feeling that you're not giving me a compliment."

She giggled in response taking his hand to the doors of the library" let's go already my idiot."

"By the way you haven't told me why we're coming here?"

"I'll tell you soon."

Sakura opened the door of the library entering the building they walked passing the librarian's counter. She gave the older woman a smile and a wave and she smiled back also giving Naruto polite bow, he has taken noticed at how she reacted towards his girlfriend. It's like she knew her well probably because it wasn't the first she has come to the library and it didn't surprised him at all. Sakura was very smart and she was always very knowledgeable about ninja things jutsu, bloodlines, clans along with her knowledge for medical ninjutsu. She has learned all those things from reading many books it's how she has become one of the smartest kunoichis back at academy and he was very proud to have her as his girlfriend. He has always seen her as a smart and strong kunoichi and most beautiful there was no one like her, she took him through some of the bookcases which they were a lot of them. The library was big almost as big as the fire tower and they were plenty of books anyone could easily get lost in the building Sakura already knew her way in the place so her boyfriend was safe nor he had to get worry about getting lost. They finally stopped getting between two book cases like the pink haired medic knew this was the place to find what she was looking for.

"What are we looking for here Sakura-chan?" Naruto kept his voice volume low knowing that in the library you have to be quiet.

She sweat dropped at his comment" I'm looking for ramen."

"This is the library" replied the blond with a sweat dropped of his own.

"I was being sarcastic we're in the library what do you think I'm looking for here?"

"Sorry what kind of book are we looking for?"

"First there's something I have to tell you" Sakura looked at him" I know I can trust you I'm sure you can keep quiet for what I'm about to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Just don't freak out when I tell you remember we're in the library so be quiet okay?"

He nodded" sure I'll be silent…"

Sakura sighed she knew he wasn't going to be quiet" it's about Hinata…"

"Hinata-chan?"

She nodded" she….she likes Sasuke-kun."

"What?" he shouted but his mouth was covered by a scowling Sakura.

"I told you to stay quiet hello library silence" she removed her hand.

"Yeah sorry about that….I can't believe it Hinata-chan likes him it can't be it sounds crazy."

"Why do you think so?"

"It just doesn't feel right you know they're so different complete opposites. Hinata-chan is sweet, kind and she can be very social when she wants to be. Sasuke he always broods, anti social, rude always saying that hn thing and he's….emo I find it impossible for someone like Hinata-chan to like someone like Sasuke…"

The pink haired woman rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's description" I guess you could be right they're so different it's scary I only thought that opposites attract didn't existed, but now I know I'm wrong which brings the reason why we're here."

The blond jounin tried to put the pieces together" you want to find a book about relationships so it helps Hinata-chan get Sasuke?"

"Not quite and you're not bothered by the whole thing" she smiled at him.

"Why should I Hinata-chan is my friend I want her to be happy, if she likes Sasuke then she should go for it that is if he feels the same way for her?"

Sakura gave another smile" you're right but I have a feeling that Sasuke-kun might feel the same way."

"I…I don't know about that Sakura-chan it feels weird taking the idea that they could get together, especially when they're so different" Naruto gave a thoughtful expression.

"Maybe you're right it must be because they are so different or more precise opposite sides, that it shows they are equally the same and it's the reason why it feels so right for them to be closer to the other."

The blond jinchurikki blinked" they are so different that they are the same okay that doesn't make sense at all Sakura-chan, I'm confused here…."

"I'm about to explain that to you my wonderful idiot" she started checking on the book case searching for that specific book.

'A book on relationships is more likely what she's looking for, if that's the case she should ask Sai I think he has a familiar book about that sort of thing' thought the blond jounin.

Sakura was still searching through the piles of books in the book case" I started reading a book a couple of days ago and at first it wasn't so interesting so I stop reading it. But after I found out about Hinata liking Sasuke-kun I decided to give it another try because it makes sense and it supports my theory why they could be attracted to each other."

"It's not a book about relationships then?" Naruto was still confused.

She giggled" nope but it can be use to tell if they are compatible for a relationship, here it is I found it."

Showed him the book which the cover was colored blue Naruto noticed the front cover had a symbol which it was familiar to him, like he has seen it before" Ying and Yang…this is the book?"

She nodded as they got seated at the nearest table opening the book" after I saw Hinata and Sasuke-kun today I started considering reading this book again, then I started thinking about all kinds of details that goes well with my theory."

"Okay I don't understand much about this theory of yours and I don't know any of this Ying and Yang stuff on the book."

"I will tell you everything so it will be better if you listen carefully."

"Right I'm listening I'm interested in learning more about this and your theory Sakura-chan."

The pink haired woman nodded" first of all Ying and Yang is used to describe how polar or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world and how they give rise to each other in turn, are you following me so far Naruto-kun?"

"Yup you got it I'm still listening" he gave his fox grin.

"Ying and Yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole everything has both Ying and Yang aspects, although Ying and Yang elements may manifest more strongly in different objects or at different times. Ying and Yang constantly interacts, never existing in absolute stasis many natural dualities has manifestations of Ying and Yang. For example dark and light, female and male, low and high, cold and hot etc…"

"Okay I'm starting to understand this but I still don't get what does this have to do with Sasuke and Hinata-chan?"

"You will understand now" replied Sakura" to put it more simple Ying and Yang are two opposite forces that are different in everything however they are needed to coexist with one another. They are polar opposites but they complement each other, both forces shared something of equal value that makes them so similar. The book also mentions that it could be more than one value to tell their similarity…"

Naruto nodded understanding most of the information she was telling him but soon his attention was no longer focused what his girlfriend was telling him, but something else worth to pay attention to. His cerulean eyes fell on her shirt or to be more precise her nice cleavage, soon he was hypnotized by the two mountains that were hidden behind the pink haired woman's shirt. Ever since they have gotten together Sakura stopped wearing her bindings making her breasts more noticeable than ever he couldn't get his eyes off the amazing view. It was arousing before he knew it he was lost in his little perverted world thinking of touching and playing with his girlfriend's double D breasts, all ideas came to his head. He prayed to Kami that he didn't get an erection here of all places now it wasn't the time for any of that but it was so tempting to take the pink haired kunoichi and do all kinds of perverted and pleasurable things to her, things that will make her scream in ecstasy begging for more.

"Naruto?" Sakura was now looking at him angry waking him up from his perverted fantasies, she noticed his far off look like he stopped paying attention to her a while ago" are you paying attention to anything I just said?"

"Huh…what oh yes of course Sakura-chan I have listened to every word you just said" he smiled at her finally waking up from one of his wet dreams with the pink haired beauty.

"Really then tell me everything I just said to you?" she suspected he wasn't paying attention to her thinking of Kami knows what probably ramen or something perverted, she knew him so well.

The blond jinchurikki nodded nervously trying to remember anything she told him" hmm…that Ying and Yang are opposite forces and….boobs ah wait I meant that they complement each other and….boobies wait Sakura-chan that's not what I meant."

But it was too late the upset Sakura smacked him on his head leaving a big lump to grow at the top of his head the blond jounin had a comical look seeing stars. She was so angry at him giving him a mean comical look with a vein popping on her forehead she felt shouting at him with one of her usual temper tantrums, but she remember that they were in the library and they have to keep quiet.

"I…I can't believe you" she kept her tone as low as possible" here I am trying to explain to you about the concept of Ying and Yang and you're only paying attention to my breast. If it's not ramen your thinking its sex sheesh Naruto is that all you could think about?" she blushed covering her chest.

"But your breast are nice" Naruto replied still seeing stars.

"That's irrelevant Naruto I'm talking about something important here and right now you have sex on your head" however she blushed because she felt flattered of the complement she received of her assets.

"I wasn't thinking about sex Sakura-chan I was only staring at your breast that's all."

"And what's the difference?" she gave him a mean comical expression" if you were staring at my chest you will eventually think of all things that will lead to sex, so quit with the excuses."

The blond jounin sighed" sorry Sakura-chan I promise you it won't happen again, I will never stare your boobies. Instead I will stare at other women's boobs."

"What?" she growled a couple of veins popping on her forehead she grabbed him by the neck of his shirt" listen to me Uzumaki Naruto if I caught you looking at other women's balloons I swear I will pound you to the ground so hard that you will end up going to the center of the earth, are we clear?"

He gave her his fox grin" Sakura-chan I was only kidding I will never stare at other women's boobies, your boobies are just perfect and unique there isn't a pair like them anywhere not even Hinata-chan's boobies can't compare to yours."

The pink haired medic let him go she was blushing feeling so flattered picking up the book" let's just drop the topic okay now where was I before a certain pervert got me off the topic?"

"You were explaining to me the concept of Ying and Yang."

"Thank you now as I said before Ying and Yang are two opposite forces while they're completely different they complement each other they coexist with one another."

"They are polar opposites but they have something that makes them the same" replied Naruto.

"Yeah that's right you finally understand what I'm trying to tell you" Sakura smiled at her boyfriend.

"It's easy to understand once you know about it Ying and Yang can be related to certain things like love and hate…"

"Yes or night and day, war and peace, life and death, cold and hot…."

"Ramen and wasabi" Naruto gave a big grin.

Sakura put her boyfriend in a headlock giving him a comical expression" idiot that has nothing to do with Ying and Yang and stop thinking about food already, either you're thinking with your stomach or your hormones."

"But I am hungry Sakura-chan I forgot to eat before coming here" the blond was struggling with his girlfriend's strong grip.

She let him go giving him a frown" then it's your fault for not eating you will have to be patient until we leave the library now work with me. Since you already know about Ying and Yang you must be wondering what does Sasuke-kun and Hinata have to do with Ying and Yang?"

"Yeah I've been wondering that since we got here" replied the blond jinchurikki.

The pink haired kunoichi nodded before she closed the book and showed him the frontal cover the symbol of Ying and Yang" I believe Sasuke-kun and Hinata are the perfect concept of Ying and Yang."

Naruto blinked" what Sasuke and HInata-chan are Ying and Yang."

"That's what I believe Sasuke-kun is Yang and Hinata is Ying."

"Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

"No Yang is for the male and Ying is for the female here take a look here this where explains the characterization of both concepts" she opened the book flipping to the right page.

The blond jounin gazed at the page where it was explaining the two concepts which he thought it was interesting.

Ying-characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet and tranquil they are generally associated with Femininity, birth and generation, and with the night.

Yang, by contrast, is characterized as fast, hard, solid, dry, focused, hot and aggressive. They are associated with Muscularity and with the daytime.

Naruto nodded finished reading the explanation" okay that makes sense and you were right Sakura-chan Yang is more associated with male and Ying is associated with female."

"In Ying's case like the book says it's also related with birth, women give birth through child labor" replied the pink haired woman.

The whiskered blond was still paying attention to the book" now that I read this information again the descriptions to Ying and Yang some of them sound familiar they go well with…."

"With Sasuke-kun and Hinata" Sakura smiled at him reading his mind.

"Yeah these descriptions kind of go well with their personalities it's the reason why they are opposites in the first place."

Sakura nodded" both are Ying and Yang let's check on their physical. Sasuke-kun has black eyes and Hinata has white eyes, black and white is another concept for Ying and Yang similar to light and dark."

"You're right Sakura-chan what about elements Sasuke's main element affinity is fire so…"

"That means Hinata's affinity is water, fire and water another concept for Ying and Yang."

"I don't know if Hinata-chan's affinity is water I haven't seen her using water type ninjutsu" Naruto gave a thoughtful look" but I have seen her using her gentle fist on the water when we trained together, she used the water against me like a weapon it must be because her chakra is so flexible that she gains control over the water flow."

"Flexible is another characteristic for the Ying concept along with fragile. Also when it comes to their fighting style look at Sasuke-kun's taijutsu he copied it from Lee-san and his taijutsu style is focused on causing damage outside of the opponent's body. Hinata's style the gentle fist is focused on causing damage inside of the opponent's body like his organs, muscles and the blood circulatory flow."

"Outside inside….another concept for Ying and Yang?" replied the blond.

The pink haired medic nodded" it is another thing I remember that Sasuke-kun told me that he likes sunny days, they make him feel happy."

"Hinata-chan told me that she likes the nighttime because it helps her relax."

"Night and day another concept for Ying and Yang"

"What about their birthdays is there something we can get from that information that relates to Ying and Yang?" said Naruto.

"I guess" Sakura checked the book" let's see Sasuke-kun birthday is July 23."

"Hinata-chan's birthday is December 27."

"7/23 and 12/27" her jade eyes widened" if you add all those numbers it leads to sixty nine.

"Sixty nine….isn't that a perverted position?" the blond gave a grin.

His comment earned him a smack from his girlfriend who was scowling at him" would you please stop thinking with your hormones and pay attention?"

"Sorry Sakura-chan I guess I had that coming" he rubbed his head.

She sighed showing him the book" sixty nine is a common number in the Ying and Yang concept it's a valid number not a sex position."

The blond gave her a grin" so you know all about it Sakura-chan you perv.

"Just shut up drop the topic" she gave a comical look

"Right but I have to admit everything really makes sense" Naruto was in awe" this can't be a coincidence."

"I know it's perfectly clear that both Sasuke-kun and Hinata are the concept of Ying and Yang, I never thought this topic will get my interest I didn't believe it at first but now I have change my mind."

"But wait Sakura-chan what about what you said that they're opposites but they have something that makes them the same?"

"You're very interested in the topic too?" she smiled at him" yes you're right like I have mentioned before Ying and Yang are opposing forces but they complement each other seeking perfect balance. Both forces have something in value very important to the other it's the one thing that makes them the same as one entity. I also mentioned that there's the possibility that there could be more than just one value."

"So what will be that value that makes Sasuke and Hinata-chan the same when they are so different?" Naruto was paying attention to every word his girlfriend was about to say.

"For me as much I have known about Sasuke-kun when I was together with him I learned that he wanted acknowledgement from his father, to be recognize as a great ninja in the Uchiha clan because Itachi was far better than him and he also wanted to be that great in his father's eyes."

The blond jounin nodded" acknowledgement from his father I think that must be the same thing for Hinata-chan."

"What do you mean didn't Hinata told you about her past or her family you were her boyfriend for three years?"

"She never told me a thing about her clan looks like she didn't like talking about it."

"I see so assuming that Hinata wanted the same thing too acknowledgement from her father then it's the one thing that makes her and Sasuke-kun the same. Acknowledgement from their fathers that's the value that makes them the same from their opposite poles"

"Is it possible for them to have another thing in common besides that?" replied Naruto.

Sakura was in deep thought" maybe there is both care for their friends. I mean Hinata cares for her teammates Kiba and Shino and Sasuke-kun feels the same about us…"

The blond jinchurikki eyes widened in realization" Sakura-chan I know….I know another thing they have in common it's me…"

"What do you mean?"

"They both risked their lives to save me."

"What?" she was shocked.

"Remember Hinata-chan tried to protect me from Pain risking her life…"

"Did Sasuke-kun do the same for you too?"

Naruto nodded" he did back at the mission to wave country he protected me from Haku's senbom needles risking his life for me."

The pink haired medic gasped" that's it….that's the other thing they have in common that makes them the same oh my…."

"What's wrong?"

"Naruto-kun I think you're their point of balance."

"I'm what?" the blond blinked hearing her comment.

The pink haired kunoichi flipped through the pages of the book stopping on the right page" here it says although Ying and Yang are opposing forces always seeking perfect balance with the other, they may come to a part where they find the point of balance. The one thing that will keep both of them in perfect balance and harmony, as long as the point of balance remains the two forces will continue to coexist with the other."

"So wait I'm Sasuke and Hinata-chan's point of balance?"

"Yes don't you get it both of them care about you a lot that they were willing to risked their lives to protect you?" she smiled at him" you were the one that saved Sasuke-kun from the darkness of being lonely since he lost his entire clan he became your best friend and brother, you were the one that saved him from living a life full of revenge. You were the one that gave Hinata the courage to gain confidence and believe in herself, you were the source of her strength to do better and you were also her source of inspiration and admiration. Naruto-kun you're the one that's keeping them together to become stronger and better people."

"In other words I'm the glue that is sticking them together?" he gave a goofy grin.

"Well to put it simpler in your level of intelligence yes that is correct" Sakura gave a smirk because she was teasing him.

The whiskered blond gave a pout" Sakura-chan that's over doing it."

She giggled closing the book" I think that's about it we know now that Sasuke-kun and Hinata represents Ying and Yang we have plenty of proof."

"Yeah he's Yang and she's Ying I never thought about it, they're so different and they're the same too. Thanks for taking me to the library Sakura-chan I really like it I actually had fun."

"You see you can have fun in the library and at the same time you learn to train your brain feeding it with knowledge, when it doesn't concern feeding your stomach with ramen that is."

Naruto sweat dropped" that wasn't a compliment?"

"Nope just teasing you" she replied with a smirk.

"I knew about that, so how about if we go get something to eat I'm really hungry?"

"Fine let's get going then" she got up putting the book back where she got it on the bookcase.

They started walking away from the table Naruto couldn't get the thought of Sasuke actually getting together. Those thoughts were erased when he started thinking about something or a rather number related with sex.

"Hey Sakura-chan I've been thinking maybe later we can give the sixty nine a try?" he gave a perverted grin.

WHAM!

The pink haired woman has smacked her boyfriend silly making him see starts again she gave him a mean comical look" perverted idiot!"

She covered her mouth remembering that they were still in the library but it was too late because the librarian came to scold her.

(Scene change)

(Location: market district Konoha)

The people were busy walking the crowded streets buying some products. The merchants were running their businesses as usual it was just another daily life in the hidden leaf village. They smiled selling their products while other shouted to get the people's attentions of the things he has to offer, among the villagers Sasuke and Hinata were passing by the crowd. Now Naturally the Uchiha didn't like traveling through the crowded areas of the village knowing how much the people like him, he will avoid all places including the market district. He always used his ninja skills using teleportation or jumping through the roofs but this time he had to make an exception because he wasn't alone. He was accompanying Hinata who promised her teammate Shino she was going to visit him with his girlfriend in one of the restaurants from the district area. Already he wasn't feeling comfortable walking the streets they were giving him the usual mistrust expressions and glares he got used to them, he was more worried about Hinata. He has noticed how a few were staring at her with those same expressions it seems that some of them have heard of the rumor that she was no longer part of the Hyuga clan. Soon the entire village will be giving her the same treatment just like him, in their eyes both were just outcast rejected because of their beliefs. He betrayed Konoha for power to fulfill his revenge and Hinata left her clan to have her freedom, they were different and yet they were alike.

Hinata was only paying attention in reaching the restaurant where her teammate was waiting for her she was ignoring some of the villager's glances. She was well aware of what was going on just by looking at Sasuke's face she didn't care the only thing that matters to her is visiting Shino. It has become a little complicated spending time with her teammates with Kiba busy with his married life and missions he has gotten as well as Shino who has been assisting ANBU a couple of times before, along with his girlfriend he has been busy too. She knew her life was going to be complicated the day she left the Hyuga clan but she was staying with her decision until the end she will continue living with the support of her friends. She smiled Sakura was supporting her and Sasuke too she knew Naruto will feel the same way if it meant that she will be happy, Neji also was by her side happy that she made the right choice. It didn't mattered what the villagers would say she will find a way to go on without letting her defection from the clan affect her she took a glance at the Uchiha and their gazes met. She smiled at him happy to have him as her friend at least she was able to understood some of the pain he's going through right now as a traitor, she wasn't a traitor to the villager but to the Hyuga clan.

They finally arrived at the restaurant which it was one of the many bbq restaurants in the district. They entered seeing that the place was crowded, the people in the restaurant were no better than the villagers that were passing by the streets. Most of the glares were aimed at Sasuke but he didn't even look at them he shrugged it aside as always, he only hoped that the same thing didn't happen to Hinata. They saw Shino wearing his usual hood uniform covering his entire face he was seated in one of the tables with a woman. She had short orange brownish hair with brown eyes wearing a florists dress with white high heels she was smiling with the Aburame. Hinata couldn't help but smile at the sight it seems that both of them were happy, looks like her teammate has found a great girlfriend. She didn't admit it but sometimes it made her feel a little envious that both her teammates have found people to love and make them happy Kiba was married to Ayane while Shino already had a girlfriend. She was happy but sometimes she wished she could have someone close to love and cherish someone to make her happy who could make her feel special. She took a quick glance at Sasuke before going to the table where Shino and his girlfriend were seated, by now the couple had noticed that they have company.

"Hey everyone!" Hinata gave a big smile to the couple.

"You're here Hinata and early" replied Shino.

The Hyuga heiress was still smiling" of course I couldn't possibly be late to finally meet you're new girlfriend."

The Aburame nodded ready to introduce his girlfriend" this is Sayuki she's the woman I have talked to you about. Sayuki this is one of my teammates Hinata of the Hyuga clan."

Hinata avoided not flinching hearing being in the Hyuga clan part as she shake hands with the young woman" nice to meet you Sayuki-san I'm so happy to finally meet you."

Sayuki smiled" I feel the same way I'm happy to meet one of Shino's friends."

Shino gazed at Sasuke who was still quiet from the meeting" Sasuke thank you for coming as well"

"Hn….er I guess" the Uchiha tried to sound polite his comment only made Hinata giggle, in which the Aburame noticed.

"Sayuki this is Uchiha Sasuke."

Sayuki smiled as she shook hands with the Uchiha" I have heard about you I'm sure we can get along."

"I hope so too…." He kindly shook her hand' at least she's not glaring at me it's a good start.'

"Please sit down" Shino said he was happy that some of his friends were going to spent time with him and his girlfriend it was hard to tell with his face completely covered.

They got seated Sasuke let Hinata seat first showing that he can be the gentlemen when it comes down to it. The Hyuga kunoichi smiled at his act however her smile was livelier it had a spark that shine more on the friendship basis. Shino was always been the quiet type but he was very observant to notice things he had seen Hinata's smile it reflected a deep admiration and affection it was completely different from the smile she used to give to her ex boyfriend Naruto. He has heard from his friends that she and the Uchiha has formed a strong friendship he didn't minded or he was disturbed about it, he was actually happy that Hinata has found a close friend although it was weird of all people it was Sasuke. It wasn't just a smile but the way she looks at him the expression of her eyes every time she will look at him, there was all kinds of emotions running in her pale orbs. Admiration, friendship, tenderness, affection and kindness right now he wondered what was going on inside the kunoichi's mind.

"Would you like to order something?" asked Sayuki.

"Thank you Sayuki-san but I'm not hungry" replied Hinata.

"The same with me…" Sasuke said.

"Are you sure I don't mind paying for both of you?" Shino asked.

"That will be fine Shino-kun I'm not hungry and neither does Sasuke-kun" she smiled while the Uchiha nodded.

"As you wish…" replied the Aburame.

"You know Shino has said a lot about you, well all of you to be exact his teammates and his other friends. I felt like wanting to meet you all" Sayuki said.

"I'm glad you feel that way at least we were able to meet you, the others are always busy to take their time to hang out" Hinata replied.

"Hey it's all right you aren't the only ones who are busy I'm kind of busy myself too."

"What do you do?" the Hyuga kunoichi was asking for her job.

"I own a greenhouse I sell all kinds of plants I have different varieties from home type plants to exotic types. I'm also an insect breeder I have a large collection of insects I've been a breeder since I was little."

'I guess Shino-kun would obviously find someone who will share his fascination of insects' thought Hinata smile.

'They both like bugs' thought Sasuke with a sweat dropped.

"I find insects rather interesting they are no different to how people lives like ants for example. They live under the rule of the queen the rest of the colony is loyal to their queen no matter they have a high sense of loyalty for their ruler."

"It's the same thing with the Hokage" Shino replied giving his opinion.

Sayuki nodded" it's similar in that case however the colony needs the queen in order to survive, without the queen the colony dies."

"It's very interesting listening to all of this I can see why Shino-kun likes you" Hinata said smiling at the couple.

"It is isn't I have learned so much over the years from breeding insects and to this day I can still learn all kinds of new things too."

Shino nodded" would you like to elaborate on the conversation Sasuke?"

The Uchiha blinked he really hasn't said a word since they got seated" bugs are nice I guess…"

Sayuki giggle at his comment while Hinata smiled at him, Shino just remained quiet his expression unseen as always.

"I guess you're not such a talker" replied Sayuki.

"He isn't but he's trying hard to make friends isn't that right Sasuke-kun?" Hinata looked at him.

"Hn…"

"Eh?" Sayuki didn't have a clue what he meant.

"That means yes" Hinata replied with a smile.

"How do you know that?" replied the young woman.

"Once you get know him better you start to understand what he means whenever he says that."

"I see….I hope I get to learn to understand his language" Sayuki gave a laugh along with the kunoichi.

'Why do I feel like they're teasing me?' though Sasuke with a sweat dropped.

"There's nothing wrong if you don't talk much, some people don't know what to think or just don't feel like giving their opinions" Shino replied giving his two cents.

"Speaking of personal experience?" Sayuki gave him a wink.

"Yes I don't mind to admit it and neither should you Sasuke."

"I'll keep that in mind thanks…" Sasuke said.

"So Shino-kun Sayuki-did you guys already eat?" asked Hinata.

"We did, we did came a little earlier than expected to meet with everyone but nevertheless I thank you both for coming it means a lot to me that you chose to meet Sayuki" replied the Aburame.

"I couldn't be any happier to meet Sayuki-san you're a great person I feel like we're already close friends" Hinata gave another smile which Shino noticed.

'She seems to be happier now, compare to how she used to be she's smiling more often than regular…'

"I feel the same way too Hinata I'm glad to have met you. That goes the same to you too Sasuke."

"Hn…."

"What did he say now?"

"I think he feels the same way" the Hyuga kunoichi gave a giggle.

Sasuke sighed while he felt Hinata's hand on his shoulder" I'm only kidding Sasuke-kun."

"I know but I'm glad you haven't ordered any cinnamon rolls, I don't want you gaining weight" the Uchiha gave a grin.

The pale eyed beauty gave a pout" I haven't eaten any cinnamon rolls in days but thank you for your concern."

"I was just kidding" replied Sasuke with a sweat dropped not knowing she was going to take his joke seriously.

She smiled" I know…"

Shino and Sayuki stood quiet watching the two friends smiling. They could already tell how close they were it was more of a surprised to Shino to witnessed the whole thing. He has never seen his teammate acting this close with him, Kiba or anyone from the former rookie nine members not even with Naruto. He knew she has changed and matured she wasn't the same timid girl who used to hide behind a tree, or stuttered, or even fidgeted. But she was acting more openly than she normal she was livelier, happier like she was the happiest person in the village. With the good observer that Shino he was able to come to a conclusion after watching Sasuke and Hinata's developed friendship, there was something going on more than just mere friendship.

"I have to go to the restroom to wash my hands I'll be right back" Hinata got up from the table and Sasuke move out of the way to let her pass.

'Hinata you….' Shino was gazing at her leaving the table after seeing her friendship with the Uchiha.

Even with his face covered Sayuki could tell something was bothering her boyfriend" something wrong Shino dear?"

"It's nothing…" he replied calmly while Sasuke was staring at him.

Hinata arrived at the end of the doorway of the restaurant that leads to the restroom area. She went to the women's room grabbing the door knob she stopped as soon as she started hearing voices coming from inside the women inside were obviously talking about some gossip. She didn't recognized the owners of the voices just some of the women villagers even if she wasn't the kind of person to eavesdropped in someone else's conversation, she didn't like gossip.

"Have you heard about that woman?"

"Her….yes that woman from the Hyuga clan I heard she left the clan."

"She's not some Hyuga she was the former heiress of the clan, but I heard something else that it was her father who kicked her out because he was disappointed in her she didn't had what it takes to become a worthy candidate for the title of heiress."

"The Hyuga clan are one of Konoha's strongest and most prestigious clans, whether she left or kicked out it means that she was weak."

"The Hyuga clan are not going to let having weaklings in their ranks, that woman had it coming."

"She must be a true failure for her own father to abandon her I wouldn't want to meet her."

"If I do meet her I will ignore her Konoha is not a ninja village to be having failures."

"Ew just thinking about her disgusts me…"

"She must have trained a lot and yet she's still weak, I guess It's true what they say once a failure always a failure."

Hinata stood quiet where she stands outside of the door to the women's restroom she has listened to every single word the two women just said. She didn't realize the tears that were falling from her pale eyes she bit her upper lip to prevent a sob, her eyes widened when the door knob was turned. She turned around showing her back as the door opened revealing the two women they seemed to be in their early thirties. They noticed the kunoichi showing her back to them but they decided to ignore her leaving rather rudely right now she was feeling hurt, her heart was crushed by their harsh words. She was hurt her heart was broken she couldn't believe they will dislike her just because they found out she left, or the other false rumor that Hiashi kicked her out of the clan. More tears were falling as she tried to dried them but she couldn't more were coming out the same words were repeating in her head over and over again. She dried her tears as best as she could and entered the restroom she made sure that there was no one inside and went to wash her hands, she washed her face in a attempt to erased her crying expression. She gazed herself on the mirror she could still hear the words but there was one word that really hurt her, that cut deep in her like a knife.

"Failure…."

She hated being called weak but failure was the one word that she couldn't stand, the word made her feel so angry. The word only showed her that she was useless at being a ninja like her life didn't have a purpose or that there was no need to be alive. She was finally done washing herself and left the restroom she still couldn't forget the women's words why did she felt so hurt they didn't knew her and they hated her so much, because of something as insignificant as leaving a clan. She returned to the table where the group was waiting for her she gave them a smile but it was considered being fake. Sasuke and Shino immediately noticed and they knew something was wrong with her the expression on her pale eyes was different before she left. Something was really bothering her while Sayuki didn't noticed it, however observant people like the Uchiha and the Aburame knew it as soon as they saw her. Sasuke wanted to know why her sudden change in expression she was so happy a moment ago, before she went to the restroom. Hinata avoided eye contact with the Uchiha she tried as hard as she could to pretend like nothing was wrong, she erased the harsh words from the two women from her mind.

"Hinata….?" Shino replied.

She smiled at them" Sayuki-san it was a pleasure meeting you I'm glad to have another friend, I have to go…"

Sasuke gazed at Shino he didn't need to know his facial expression somehow he knew that he should go with the kunoichi and figure out what was going on. He didn't have to read the Aburame's mind both knew something wasn't right with their friend.

Sayuki wasn't happy that she had to go" do you really have to go so soon?"

"I'm sorry but I should get going I'm sure we can get together some other day…"

"It was nice meeting you Sayuki…" Sasuke replied.

"Take care maybe next time everyone will get together I really want to meet all of Shino's friends."

"Don't worry Sayuki you will get the chance" replied Shino.

Hinata didn't want to stay any longer she was feeling uncomfortable being in the restaurant anymore" see you later…"

She left with Sasuke following her close by while Shino was in deep thought' Hinata seems heartbroken what could have happened to make her feel like that?'

(Scene change)

(Location: village market street district)

Hinata was walking through the streets feeling so uncomfortable, she thought she will feel better if she left the restaurant she couldn't have been any more wrong. As she gazed at the crowd she noticed some of the expression of the villagers they were giving her the same expression before she arrived at the restaurant. It was the expression that reflected anger, disappointment and even a large amount of hatred. Before she knew it she was no longer just a regular ninja of Konoha but someone different without realizing it, she was different made by the villagers. She was an outcast with their expressions it's like she has lost the dignity and respect she had back when she was the heiress of the Hyuga clan, this was the prize for leaving her clan. She was getting the traitor treatment from the villagers like she was an evil monster they didn't understand what she was going through or her desire to have a life full of freedom. Sasuke was able to catch up to her after a couple of minutes from passing the busy crowd, as usual ignoring any glares he was receiving. He got next to her seeing that she still had the same look in her pale eyes everything was going well for them before she left the restaurant, he admitted he did enjoyed spending time with Shino and his girlfriend.

"What's wrong?" he finally asked he kept his tone calm showing no concern.

She shook her head" it's nothing…"

"If you don't want to tell me then don't, you don't have to lie…"

Hinata looked at his shocked" Sasuke-kun…?"

The Uchiha kept his eyes around the crowd not looking at her" something is bothering you or there's something on your mind, I'm not obligating you to tell me…"

"I…." she lowered her gaze.

"I thought we're supposed to be friends or am I wrong?" he finally turned his gaze meeting her eyes.

"Of course we're friends…"

"You're not going to tell me so we'll leave it like this…"

"I'm sorry…"

"Don't apologize you haven't done anything wrong…."

'I did something wrong…' she thought with guilt for not telling him.

"Sasuke-kun?" the Hyuga kunoichi started.

"Hn…?"

"I would like if you want to spar with me?"

"Spar?" he replied before giving a small smile" I don't see a problem with that, I could use the exercise."

She smiled" thank you…"

Hinata ignored the glances from some of the people" come on let's go back to your house to change before we go to the training field…"

He nodded following her through the street' something is wrong with her all right…'

After reaching a corner in the crowded street they passed two little kids a boy and a girl playing with a white cat and brown spots, both seemed to be around eight. The little boy had spiky brown hair and eyes wearing an orange shirt and black shorts with brown sandals. The little girl had black shoulder length hair and dark eyes wearing a blue shirt with white shorts and brown sandals. They were having fun playing with the cat while they took a gaze at Sasuke and Hinata.

Sasuke however took a quick glance at the two kids giving them a suspicious look, it's like he has seen beneath the underneath' what are they up to…?'

Once they were out of sight the two little kids stopped playing with the cat before they vanished in smoke revealing two adults, Naruto and Sakura to be exact. Naruto was still looking where the two ninjas headed he had a bewildered looked on his face he admitted that he was shocked at the sight, he never thought he would see the day seeing Sasuke and Hinata spending time together. He looked at Sakura a couple of times she was still smirking at the scene she couldn't help but role her eyes at her boyfriend's expression. It was probably shocking to him seeing the two ninjas walking so freely and closely like they were already together but for the pink haired woman it brought a smile to her face. She was so happy to see them like they were close friends believing on the concept of Ying and Yang she learned from the book of the library.

"Sakura-chan you saw it too?" Naruto was still shocked.

She giggled" yup Sasuke-kun and Hinata have gotten so close for a while now. The way they walked together is the same way as us."

"I never thought I would see the day" the blond jounin was still holding the white cat they were playing when they transformed into kids.

"I'm not surprise they're both related to Ying and Yang even as opposite forces both will grow closer to the other with time, it's destine to happen come on let's follow them."

Naruto blinked" what follow then isn't that the same thing as stalking them?"

The pink haired medic blushed" no no it's not the same thing we're just going to follow where they going and then we're going to watch them that's all…"

He sweat dropped" okay that's the same thing we are stalking them."

"Let's just go I really want to know what will happen next" Sakura gave a childish pout.

"We're not watching some soap opera Sakura-chan" suddenly he gasped seeing that white cat scratching his hand because he was annoyed being hold for too long" ah damn cat!"

"Naruto-kun!" Sakura gasped.

The blond formed a rasengan at the screeching cat" take this!"

WHAM!

Sakura smacked him making him land on his face while the cat ran away she was giving him a mean comical look" you idiot I can't believe you were about to use rasengan on a poor defenseless animal!"

"Defenseless?" the blond gave the same mean comical look" look what he did to my hand?" he showed her his scratched left hand.

"He didn't know any better you were holding him for a while, cats gets uncomfortable when you're holding them for too long."

"Ow it really hurts" whined Naruto holding his injured hand.

Sakura sighed kneeling beside him" here let me take care of that."

She started using her green chakra to heal the scratches on her boyfriend's hand" next time be careful" she said in a scolding tone.

Naruto nodded before he noticed that he had a good view at his girlfriends boobies' yeah this is a perfect view better than the one I got back at the library hehe.'

"You better not be looking at my breast again or so help me I will punch you all the way to Kakashi sensei's office" she was still focusing on his hand although her tone was harsh.

"But I'm your boyfriend don't I get that kind of privilege?" he was hoping she didn't hit him.

"Only if I want to I'm the one who can give you permission to take a peek, until then eyes elsewhere."

"Yes Sakura-chan you're the boss."

She smiled happy to be the one in charge of their relationship" there we go all done I'm not happy that the cat ran away because of you."

"Are you sure it ran away because of me and not you?" Naruto sweat dropped.

"What are you saying it ran away because you were about to use an A rank jutsu on him not me?"

"I'm not the one with the temper and the super strength."

"What was that?" Sakura gave him a warning glare.

"Nothing!"

(Scene change time skip)

(Location: training field number five forest region Konoha)

Sasuke and Hinata we're having another sparring match although it has become quite different compare to their previous ones. At first it started normal just exchanging blows nothing serious but slowly it got a little complicated it wasn't a big deal for Sasuke he liked the workout he was getting, but he knew something was bothering Hinata since they left the restaurant. They have changed to their jounin uniform having a taijutsu match somehow tension has grown in their match and it wasn't coming from the Uchiha but someone else, they resumed their fighting focusing on their opponent. Sasuke had his sharingan activated while Hinata had her byakugan activated he could see some anger building up in her eyes it was bothering him, curiosity was affecting him. It annoyed him that she didn't told him what was wrong with her she was clearly hurt when they left the restaurant why he wanted to know why did he care. He knew the Hyuga kunoichi has become an important friend just like his teammates from team seven he has forged a strong bond with her he didn't deny it. It was hard to concentrate on the fight with his friend having a problem and she didn't tell him what was wrong, she wasn't obligated to tell him but she should reconsider so he can help her. He hated to see her bothered, hurt, or sad and it angered him that there was nothing he could to make her feel better if she didn't tell him.

Hinata has focused all of her attacks on her opponent after all Sasuke was very good on taijutsu not to mention he was fast, she has come to keep up with him a couple of times during their previous sparing matches. This is exactly what she needed to forget her troubles exercise training her mind just concentrating on her match, no need to think about things outside of her fight with the Uchiha. But no matter how hard she tried no matter how much focus she put in the match she couldn't forget their words. The words from those women were still in her head she could still hear them clearly the same words that have crushed and break her heart, cold harsh words that cut her like a sharp kunai through her skin. She dodged another kick from Sasuke countering with her own attack a chakra charged palm but she missed she has lost focus because of the words in her mind. Before she knew it there were more voices in her head from the past all the times she was ridiculed by everyone, her family as well were part of the insults she had to take. She tried to attacked the Uchiha but she couldn't anymore her mind was overtaken by the voices every single harsh word were being repeated in her mind over and over again, she launched another palm but Sasuke dodged it. He gasped noticing a couple of tears falling from her sorrowful pale eyes.

'Hinata….?' Sasuke was staring at her with some concern.

The former Hyuga heiress stood quiet letting her first tears fall remembering every single insult from her past' it hurts why….?'

"Do as you see fit with her she's no longer any concern to me, she's useless her younger sister is better than her" Hiashi told Kurenai the day she became part of team eight.

"Fate has decided that you're weak and a failure you're not meant to be a ninja just forfeit the match" Neji told her when they fought at the chunin exams preliminaries.

"Why do you even bother trying Hinata just admit that you're not strong, it's better if father makes me the heiress of the main branch" Hanabi said to her before the chunins exams took place.

"I have made my decision to make Hanabi the heiress of the clan's main branch as it should be in the first place, you understand this Hinata you're still weak" Hiashi said to her three years ago.

"I wish there was something I could do to boost Hinata's confidence she's so insecure, it's no wonder why she thinks she's weak. Her own father shuns her as weak and a failure…." Kurenai said when she overheard her talking to Asuma in one of their meetings.

"I order to become strong Hinata-sama you must overcome all of your negative emotions, it will be the first step to take in order to reach your true potential" Neji told her when they were having one of their training sessions.

Hinata was still standing frozen in the middle of throwing an attack while Sasuke was staring at her, more tears were falling. By now she was clutching her heart with her other hand her lips have changed to an angry scowl.

"Whether she left or kicked out she was weak."

"The Hyuga clan are not going to let having weaklings in their ranks, that woman had it coming."

"She must be a true failure if her own father abandoned her I wouldn't want to meet her."

"If I do meet her I will ignore her Konoha is not a ninja village to be having failures."

"Ew…just thinking about her disgust me."

"She must have trained a lot and yet she's still weak, I guess it's true what they say…."

Hinata's eyes were wide while Sasuke was still worried about her he has never seen this expression in her before it reflected so many emotions.

"Once a failure always a failure…."

"Weak….failure…useless…"

'Weak…failure…useless…weak….failure…useless….weak…failure…useless…'

As the words were still being repeated in her mind she clutched her head she couldn't take it anymore. Sasuke was shocked as he saw Hinata screaming at the top of her lungs in anger it has finally happened after a long time, Hinata has finally snapped. She growled launching with a powerful chakra charged palm which the Uchiha was able to dodge it hit one of the trees in the training field. She angrily launched another palm hitting another tree and she resumed doing constant attacks, she also used the sixty four palms strike. The trees were destroyed while others were sent to the ground by the sheer strength of her attacks she sent another barrage of her palms to more trees destroying them quickly. She angrily released another powerful barrage destroying more trees while Sasuke just stood there in shock seeing how upset she was, he has never seen her so angry before. It's like all the rage in the world has taken over her and has turned her into its slave he has known Hinata as quiet, sweet, kind and caring but this was a whole new side of her has never witnessed, or he thought she never had. He tried to calm her down but it wasn't wise to interfere if she was experiencing an anger breakdown that it was better to let her continue her assault on the trees he hope she ends soon or there won't be any more trees in the training field left. He patiently waited until she has calm down perhaps he can find out why she became so angry all of the sudden.

Hinata attacked another tree destroying it, every tree she brought down she imagined it was all the people the shun her and ridicule her. Weak, failure, useless the words were still being repeated in her head over and over again after all her training there's no need to call her such names. It felt so good as she attacked the trees hitting all of those people her father included, they don't believe her they don't have faith in her why should they doubt her skills. After minutes of going berserk in the forest she finally calm down panting a lot but her anger was still in her system, she was tire her anger won't vanished so easily. The voices were still in her head no matter how many times she attacked the trees she couldn't get rid of the voices disrespecting her she gritted her teeth as she slowly walked to a nearby tree. She leaned her head on the tree she gave a growl but soon it was replaced by sobbing, after a while she was finally releasing her tears. Her anger has been sustain she was still upset she buried her head on the tree, Sasuke noticing that she has finally calm down decided to go to her. As he got closer to the kunoichi he gasped when she attacked the tree she was using as comfort sending it to the ground, her tears were falling but her expression showed anger.

"Why?" she shouted the anger in her voice was evident" why am I weak why am I a failure why am I useless?"

The Uchiha had to sweat dropped at her comment here he was looking at all the trees she destroyed using her gentle fist. He knew for sure this wasn't the work of someone weak she had it all wrong.

"Hinata…?" he started.

The Hyuga kunoichi wiped he tears but more come out" I train and train and train and still nothing I don't get strong why?"

"Is that what's been bothering you?" he finally put the pieces together on her behavior.

Hinata let more tears fall" I have been training for years I have really been training hard until I'm exhausted but nothing's change….I'm still weak….a failure….I'm useless…"

"You really think that?" the Uchiha sweat dropped.

"I….I guess was my training all for nothing?"

"You have to notice your surroundings look around you!"

The pale eyed beauty looked around and her eyes widened taking noticed at the sight. There were dozens of trees demolished like a powerful cyclone has passed it was the cause of her sudden anger that made this. She looked at every direction the shock never left her face this wasn't possible she couldn't believe it was true this was real not some dream. Sasuke was staring at her surprised at her reaction was she unaware of how her strength has increased in the past years.

"I….this…I couldn't…." Hinata lowered her gaze.

"Yes you did all of this. You haven't realized how strong you have become, answer me would someone weak will be able to do this?"

"I guess not….but they still think I'm weak…"

"Who says you're weak?" Sasuke was next to her.

"Back at the restaurant" she replied the Uchiha was paying attention to her" I heard two women talking in the restroom they were saying I was weak and a failure. They dislike me because they found out I left the Hyuga clan…"

The Uchiha scowled" is that it is that what has you so hurt?"

She nodded" all my life I was doubted, shun, called weak that I was nothing but a failure. No one realized my strenght or my potential I wanted to show everyone including father that I could be a worthy ninja in his eyes. Thanks to Naruto-kun's determination I got up from crying and train, and train, and train. But deep inside I was afraid that I was really weak, I feared that I will become a burden to my teammates."

"You're anything but weak and a burden you really took me by surprise when you destroyed those trees. You have become strong Hinata stronger than any Hyuga, my only regret is that I wasn't there when you beat Neji" he gave a grin.

Even if she was still in tears Hinata gave a laugh looking at him" you really don't like Nejini-san, don't you?"

"We have never seen eye to eye on things, he doesn't like me and I don't like him…"

The Hyuga kunoichi nodded" ever since I left the clan I have never felt so free in my entire life, I can finally be myself for once and it feels great. But it seems haven earned that freedom from having ties to the clan there are consequences to pay…"

Sasuke nodded" I know what you mean…"

"Now the village seems to hate me either they will hate me or they will ignore me, it's like I'm no longer a regular human being just for leaving the clan. I have become an outcast just because I'm no longer part of the Hyuga clan today was a good example. Those two women didn't like me at all they were saying how weak and a failure I am, how much I was a disgust to them that they will ignore me. Once a failure always a failure that's what one of them said, it has been on my mind since…"

"Screw them!" shouted Sasuke shocking the pale eyed kunoichi.

"What….?"

"I said screw them who cares what they think. People like them are nothing but a bunch of ignorant fools who only judge other people without knowing a thing about them. They don't know the real you so they don't have the right to insult you or be little to you, let the ignorant alone you know that they are people who knows who you really are and they care for you they have accept the person you are. They care for you as Hyuga Hinata not as the heiress of the Hyuga clan…"

The Hyuga kunoichi stood shocked at what she just heard, tears were still falling but she managed to give a smile. Her heart skipped a beat he was right she remembers her friends who have come to accept her for who she is not for the title she used to have, the Uchiha's words has had a positive effect in her. She kept her smile on him while he turned away a little feeling embarrassed, why was he feeling like this.

"You're absolutely right I don't have to let what other people say about me. The important thing is that I have friends who care for me for who I am I'm lucky to have such great friends. I also like having you as my friend too Sasuke-kun."

"You don't mean that…" he whispered but she was able to hear him.

"Yes I do I'm very happy to have you as my friend and for letting me stay in your house too. I guess there's another thing we have in common we're both outcasts, the village see us as traitors."

"My case is completely different from yours…"

"The villagers don't like us" she replied.

"You didn't betray the village to run off to a mad man for power, and you didn't want to destroy the village all for revenge…"

"It doesn't mean I can't understand what you're going through now that we're both traitors I will understand you even more. It won't hurt if we face things together right?" she smiled at him.

"Hn…."

"I will take that as a yes" she giggled smiling at him with a lot of affection" thank you Sasuke-kun I'm feeling much better now, I don't feel angry anymore. I guess I needed to let some of my anger and frustration out of my system I have never done that before, or even snapping like that for the matter."

"It's not healthy to bottle all your anger inside it pisses me off when the villagers are murmuring insults on my back but ignore them. It's not easy being the outcast of the village and the people around you hating you, I always find ways to erase the anger…"

"Like meditating?" she replied knowing that she has meditated with him a couple of times.

He nodded" and hanging with my friends I have come to understand how strong bonds really are, you can thank Naruto for that."

Hinata smiled thinking about the blond" he's amazing isn't he Naruto-kun has done a lot for me?"

"He has done a lot for both of us…."

"You're right that's why he's precious to us we have plenty of reasons why care for Konoha. Outcasts or not I want to continue fighting for my village."

Sasuke stood quiet in deep thought hearing her words he gave a nod" I think that will be enough for today we should head back."

"Yes you're right…"

"I hope Kakashi doesn't complain about this" Sasuke was gazing at the demolished trees caused by Hinata's gentles fist.

The Hyuga kunoichi blushed in embarrassment" I hope I don't get in trouble we're not supposed to cause too much damage to the training fields."

They left the training field Hinata was still staring at her friend. To think that Sasuke has helped her ease her anger his words were still in her head, now she knew she wasn't weak much less a failure. She smiled at him she has never doubted how much the Uchiha has become a close friend of hers, someone very important to her. She tried to control the beating of her heart along with the feeling of blushing she was happy now that she had another thing in common with him it wasn't going to be easy living in the village now everyone will find out about her defection from the Hyuga clan. She was ready to face anything as long as she has her friends with her, as well as her closest friend. She noticed that Sasuke was looking at her and she blushed smiling at him before she turned her sight back to the road. The Uchiha just stood quiet walking with her he didn't know why it made him feel nervous whenever Hinata will looked at him, it was weird he doesn't understand. As they leave the training field none of them were aware that they were being watched by two people, they were hiding far away among the bushes. They have seen everything that happened between the two ninjas however they couldn't hear a thing because they were too far away from them.

Naruto and Sakura were responsible for spying at Sasuke and Hinata they knew getting closer to hear their long conversation will make them sense their presence. Their reactions were quite predictable Sakura was smiling at the sight of her teammate with the Hyuga kunoichi noticing that she was having some emotional problems and the fact that the Uchiha made her feel better was a sign that he really cares for her, she couldn't help but smile at the thought. Naruto gave a smile two at the odd but happy people who had a strong friendship although he was in deep thought, before he arrived to the training field his girlfriend told him what she has been keeping from him. Sakura told him about Hinata leaving the Hyuga clan and her current staying with Sasuke at his house, he was worried when he saw the kunoichi crying and acting violent destroying the trees in anger with her gentle fist style. But everything turned for the better when he saw his best friend talking to her which made her feel better, she was no longer upset. They left the bushes since the two ninjas have already left they were done with their stalking for now.

"I guess I'm not surprise" replied the blond" Hinata-chan has never told me a thing about the Hyuga clan she always looked uncomfortable whenever the clan was mentioned, she obviously didn't like her own clan."

"I think she did the right thing in leaving, it's better to choose her own path being in the Hyuga clan wasn't in her path. I actually like that she's living with Sasuke-kun as long as she doesn't do all the chores…" Sakura frowned thinking about Hinata doing everything on the house while Sasuke was resting with a smirk.

"Yeah the teme can make her do everything like she was his alive he will think Hinata-chan is a maid or something."

"He did promise me that he will do his chores and he will divide them with Hinata so I will believe him."

"I guess but I wonder what have gotten into Hinata-chan you saw her destroying those trees like she was going mad?"

The pink haired medic shook her head" I don't know Hinata seemed to be very upset I wonder if something happened to her on the way here?"

"Maybe we should go check on them to find out" Naruto suggested.

"No we have done enough stalking for the day, we should head back now."

The blond was smirking at her" oh so now you say stalking I thought you said we were just going to watch over them."

Sakura sweat dropped giving him a comical look" it's the same thing…"

"That's exactly what I said Sakura-chan why did you have to lied about it the first time you said it?"

"Never mind that let's get going I'm hungry let's get something to eat that isn't ramen" she took his hand leaving the training field with her boyfriend.

"Sure thing Sakura-chan you're the boss!" the blond jounin gave his usual fox grin.

"You're paying Naruto-kun."

"What….but I'm a little off on money come on Sakura-chan can't we split the bill please?"

She gave him a scowl" what kind of boyfriend will you be if you don't pay the food of the woman you love?"

"I don't know…" he lowered his gaze knowing that his toad wallet wasn't so full.

Sakura got closer to his ear whispering" if you pay for the food we might give the sixty nine a try."

That was enough to lift the blonds' face with a big smile" all right I'll pay!"

She giggled" thanks…"

'He may be a perverted idiot….but he's my perverted idiot.'

(Location: market street Konoha village district)

Sasuke and Hinata were once again walking the same street where the people were giving them the glares only this time both ignored them like they didn't existed. They were obviously being looked down and shun for something they did which wasn't right, to most of the villagers they were just a couple of outcast not worth being in their village. In their eyes there were no longer equal Konoha ninjas but rather a traitor and a failure in which both ninjas have accepted their punishment in an attempt to love their lives to the fullest, and in the right way. By now Hinata has erased all of the harsh words from her head happy that she had relief all the anger that she has bottled up inside of her for a long time. This time they will face the crowd that only judge them without knowing anything about themselves together and they weren't going to be afraid, it will be tough but they will get through it. Walking the streets Hinata noticed a store with pictures in it was a photo shop this made her smile since she was with the Uchiha, she knew exactly what she wanted.

"Sasuke-kun let's go to that photo shop."

"What for?" the Uchiha didn't had a clue what she wanted.

"Come on I….if it's all right with you I would like for us to take a picture together" she tried her hardest not to blush at the last part of together.

"You want to take a picture with me?" Sasuke was surprised by her request.

The Hyuga kunoichi nodded" you know just a photo of two friends I would want for us to have as a reminder of our friendship, but like I said if you want to."

The Uchiha looked at her and then at the shop" why not…?"

She smiled" thank you…"

They entered the store staring at all the kinds of photos hanging on the walls. They were all kinds of varieties of pictures from beautiful sceneries from different locations in the five countries, to people's pictures. Hinata smiled at how beautiful the photos she could tell that all pictures had high quality and the photographer who took them was a professional, they went to the counter waiting for the employer to attend them. Suddenly an older man in his late forties with glasses and a mustache came from the back of the stores arriving at the counter looking at his new customers. Now both were expecting that the employee would glare at them at least at Sasuke but he didn't, instead he gave both of them a cordial smile.

"Welcome to my shop how can I help you?"

"We…we would like to have our picture taken."

The owner nodded" all right that will be fifty ryou an extra fifty if you order another copy."

Hinata nodded" we would like one copy for each of us thank you."

"All right that will be a total of one hundred ryou."

"Yes that will be fine."

"Then let's get started follow me" the owner left the counter walking to another room of the shop.

They followed him to the room they saw the set where the photo shop was going to take place. There was a background of a temple with cherry blossoms tree and the camera was not too far from where the background stood. The photographer went to his camera as he signaled the two ninjas to go to the background set, they took their positions. Hinata was exactly in the middle of the camera a perfect shot for her, however Sasuke was a little far from her looking he won't appear in the picture.

"Young man would you like to get a little closer to the young woman?"

Sasuke sighed as he took one next to Hinata while the photographer gave a sigh of his own" a little closer please."

The Uchiha took another step but he was starting to feel uncomfortable, one more step and he will be too close to the Hyuga beauty. Hinata was thinking the exact same thing and she was trying that she doesn't blush or worst that she doesn't faint, having Sasuke so close to her have those effects on her. The photographer was getting annoying with the Uchiha's attitude he needed him closer to Hinata in order to get a perfect shot but his client wasn't being very cooperative.

"Miss can I ask you a question?" asked the photographer.

"Huh yes what is it?" replied Hinata.

"Are you a vegetarian or a carnivorous?"

She blinked at the question" what….well I eat both I guess why do you want to know?"

"Just checking do you eat human meat?"

Hinata gave one comical look while Sasuke sweat dropped at the question" what?"

"Do you eat human eat?" he repeated the question coolly again.

"I don't eat people what kind of question is that I'm not some monster that devours people!

He nodded gazing at Sasuke" you see chicken butt she doesn't eat humans she's not going to eat you if you get too close to her."

A vein popped on the Uchiha's head' chicken butt?'

Hinata covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing while the photographer didn't care that Sasuke was very upset with his name calling because of his hair.

"Just get closer to the lady you two are supposed to be in the picture."

Hinata has calmed down by now and Sasuke was next to her very close.

"There we go much better, now buddy I need you to put your arm around the lady's shoulder."

"What….?"Hinata was shocked but she was blushing.

The Uchiha sighed putting his arm around her shoulder like she was his girlfriend, although he was feeling more nervous than before' what's wrong with me…?'

The photographer smiled at the sight" good you two are such a cute couple."

"What?" both shouted in unison.

"We….we….we're… not together" Hinata stuttered her whole face was red.

"Just friends…." Sasuke said.

"Oh my bad then, I apologize I thought you two we're together that's why I told you to put your arm around her. But anyway if you're just friends then you can remove your arm from her."

Sasuke nodded and removed his arm from the pale eyed kunoichi's shoulder, although she was disappointed a bit she was no longer blushing.

"Now pose for the camera and say cheese….sorry I know it's old but I can't resist every time I say it."

The two ninjas finally composed themselves from their last predicament. Hinata smiled with Sasuke next to her and he gave a small smile. Both seemed to want to make this picture count since it was going to be their friendship photo, a very important frozen memory.

"Here I go then…." The photographer was ready to take the picture.

SNAP!

(Scene change time skip)

(Location: Uchiha household Uchiha clan district)

Sasuke was sleeping on his bed soundly after the busy day he had. Next to his bed on his nightstand stood four pictures which they are very important to him in his entire life. The first picture on the left was of his family when he was six with his father Fugaku, his mother Mikoto and his brother Itachi. The second picture was the team seven picture when he became part of Kakashi's team. The third picture was of him with Naruto and Sakura when he was freed from prison, they were smiling while Naruto was giving him bunny ears. Finally the fourth picture which was added to his precious moments in his life was of him and Hinata the picture they took today. It was proof how an important person and friend she has become in his life, he continued sleeping with a smile on his face which it was strange for someone like him.

It will be the first time he will ever have a peaceful goodnight sleep after everything he's been through.

It's finally done sorry it took so long I've been very busy. I hope you enjoy the Sasu/Hina development in this chapter please note that not all the information from the Ying and Yang it's true, I made up some parts. If you want to know more about Ying and Yang go to Wikipedia. Also for those who knows about Spanish I recommend a video on youtube about the Ying and Yang theory resolving the Sasu/Hina pairing, because of that video I was inspired in writing this chapter.
