"Akamaru now!" shouted Kiba as they both did the jutsu "Fang-Passing-Fang" perfectly hitting the target.

"

Yahoo!" he shouted as he gave a high five to Akamaru whom was n ow cloned as Kiba himself.

" 12 seconds" said Shino dryly . "it takes you twelve seconds just to hit the right target"

" Arr !" yelled the dog master as he pulled his spiky brown hair. Akamaru only barked at his master's actions.

"Come on Shino, that device is obviously fucking broken" yelled Kiba, Shino only shook his head at his friend.

" don't blame the time for your laziness and bad aiming" stated Shino folding his arms over his shoulder.

Akamaru transformed back into his large white furred self and barked. Kiba only hit himself on the forehead with annoyance.

" I'm not lazy Shino right Akamaru !" yelled Kiba , and as though to answer him Akamaru gave a loud bark.

Shino only shook his head at his stubborn friend and then looked towards the tress on the left of the field.

"Naruto-sama were you planing on staying hidden for all of our training?" asked Shino, as he spoke two of his bugs perched on his shoulder and crawled under his jacket.

Jumping out of the tree, with a huge grin on his face was non other then the young blond Hokage

"I was wondering the same thing , your fucking scent was starting to bug me so much I couldn't concentrate" added Kiba as he scratched his head. Akamaru only shook his head add what his master said.

" Kiba it isn't good to blame others on your laziness" bashed Shino in a very decent way.

Kiba only pouted at what his friend said.

"So baka what brought you here anyways?" asked Kiba with his arms fold over his chest.

Naruto eyes grew wide at Kiba as he pointed his finger at dog user in a very dramatic way.

"Hey it's Hokage-sama to you " said Naruto with a huge grin.

Kiba put his arms up in surrender.

" okay, okay you got me there Mr Hokage-sama" laughed Kiba

Naruto only chuckled.

"I'm only joking , I'm actually looking for Hinata, I've been searching for her since yesterday" said Naruto with a smile.

" Do you have a mission for her?" asked Kiba being rather inquisitive.

Naruto laughed.

" No actually, I wanted to thank her for this necklace" said Naruto as he started to open and close the frog locket, a habit he seems to have developed for the pass days.

Kiba and Shino looked at the golden necklace around his head and then at the frog locket in his hand.

"Oh I've seen her with that must have cost a fortune" said Kiba.

"Quite complements your personality" added Shino

Naruto smiled nervously he was actually trying to decipher if that was a complement or not m, he didn't see how he was compared to a frog, most likely it was because of his Toad-sage title he has.

" well you just miss her" said Kiba."She said something about going to the market to buy some grocers or something like that"

" thanks Kiba. I'll see you guys later I'm gonna try catching up to her" said Naruto quickly .

Naruto was about to run off when he was stopped by Shino.

"Naruto Hinata doesn't seem to be in a very good mood today, she's usually to last to leave training and even so she hardly spoke" said Shino in a worried tone.

This made Naruto feel a bit worried too, but only gave Shino one of his smiles,

"It's alright Shin I'll find out what's wrong and cheer her up" said Naruto as he hopped back onto a branch and was off.

"Yes! finally his scent is gonna fade, Naruto smells like ramen and milk" said Kiba.

"Come on Akamaru we can beat it now !" shouted the dog user as he punched his fist in the air.

Shino only shook his head at his friend.

"Well show me what you can do?" beckoned Shino.

"hn, Akamaru, Fang-Passing-Fang!"

Hinata looked at the plump red tomatoes and took up three, she wasn't sure what it is it that she's suppose to buy for Sasuke, she doesn't know what he likes or what he doesn't like , she doesn't even know what he's allergic to. Come to think of it Sasuke was like a complete stranger to her, before the arrangement she has never spoke to him at all.

She sighed and continued walking through the market when a group of kids ran pass her.

"Please give me back my doll" she heard a little girl begged.

She turned to were the group of kids were, when she noticed that it was three boys that were teasing the young girl in the middle. Hinata arched her eyebrows as the boys mean little boys taunted the girl with her doll.

The little girl started at the doll with puffy red eyes from crying eyed, her dark eyes couldn't look the boys in the face.

"Ah your just a cry baby " yelled one of the boys whom was holding the doll in the air. He was rather big and was really chubby, he started waving the doll above his head.

He was then about to through it to the ground, when Hinata caught his fat arms.

The young boy looked up in shook.

"who are you ?" he said looking starlight in Hinata's eyes, she took the doll out of his hand very softly.

Something about this boy remind her of one of those bullies back then that would hurt her.

" Hinata Huyga" she said softly.

She looked at the little browned eyed girl, who was started to dry her eyes.

" Here you go sweetie" said Hinata as she gave her back the doll.

The girl blushed and hugged the doll tight to her. Hinata smiled at this. S the turned to the group of bullies.

"It's not good to pick on girls boys, a real ninja respects women even if they seem to be a little different from you" said Hinata, but those words hurt her in the chest, knowing that she was being very hypocritical saying that to them, when she herself wasn't given any the respect by her own father.

The boys didn't say anything but quickly just ran off. Hinata raised her finger to her lips, she wondered if she scared them off. She picked up her basket and was about to walk off when a hand wrapped around her elbow.

"Thank you Ms Huyga" said the little girl.

Hinata blushed and smiled at the little girl

" you can just call me Hinata nama wa nan desu ka -whats you name?"she asked politely .

"Mika"she answered "Hakashu , Mika"

'Hinata smiled at this .

"would you like me to buy you some ice cream?" asked Hinata politely

When heard ice cream Mika's eyes brightened and a blush appeared on her face.

"Hai please" she smiled showing her two missing front teeth, that only made her seem even more adorable.

"Okay come on" she was about to move when she heard a familiar voice call her name.

"Could that be...

The blond shinobi finally found her. Naruto couldn't help but to run up to her, even invading her personal space.

This closeness made a blush streak across her pale face .

"Naruto-kun" she said aloud.

"Hinata I've been searching for you since yesterday" said Naruto with a grin.

"from yesterday?" Hinata repeated. She wondered what was it that was so important.

"Ano... I went to the Huyga compound" he said

The Huyga compound . That meant that he knows about her and Sasuke already, either ways he would find out eventually Sasuke is his best friend.

"And I saw Neji, he said you weren't there, then I went looking around Konaha but I couldn't find you . So today I found Kiba and Shino training and they said that you were here so …... her I am Hinata " he grinned.

"I finally found you" He said happily.

"Ano Hinata your friends with the Hokage?" said Mika

Naruto looked down on her, the little girl blushed from the sudden eye contact. Naruto didn't notice her before.

Mika slowly inched her way behind Hinata. It was ironic that a shy person was hiding behind another shy person .

"My name is Mika, Hakashu Mika"she said softly it almost sound muffled.

"Well Mika you don't have to be scared of me see. I don't bit . I'm nice and hug-able" said Naruto.

Hinata giggled at Naruto. Mika smiled and hugged Naruto whom lift her up and was now holding her in his arms.

"See that's not hard" he giggled.

He then looked at Hinata

"we were g-gonna get s-some ice cream Naruto, would you like to j-join us ?" asked the red Huyga.

"Of course, I like ice cream" smiled Naruto. "I'll pay for everything too" he quickly added.

Hinata smiled as all three of them started towards the ice cream parlor down the street.

After having ice cream and dropping Mika home, Hinata and Naruto continued walking through the streets. Hinata was so nervous this was actually the first time both she and Naruto were spending time together without them actually being on a mission of some sort., and she wanted to treasure this moment.

"Ano Hinata -chan " spoke Naruto softly

"H-hai Naruto-kun" she answered him back in the same tone.

She watched as he took the frog locket into his hand and began to open and close it. Hinata blushed when she realized that, that was the very locket she gave him.

"I was actually trying to find you so that I can thank you" he said smiling really wide.

"to thank me?" Hinata repeated in her head. It seemed as though she was questioning everything that he said. She couldn't' t believe it was all true.

"Hai" said Naruto as though to answer her mental question."i was trying to thank you for this, I love it Hinata" he smiled.

"y-your welcome Naruto-kun, it's the least I can do" she answered with a blush.

Naruto grinned widely. When he remembered something that Shino said.

"Say Hinata w..." before he could finish Naruto heard his name bring called.

Naruto looked up to just in time to be hit in the head by Sakura, causing an instant bump to grow on his temple.

Hinata's eyes grew wide at Sakura's strength, it wasn't the first she saw her super strength in action but each time it never failed to amaze her. Everyone in the village respected Sakura -chan including her father.

"NARUTO!" shouted the pink heard girl as she held her fist under his nose.

"Ahh Sakura -chan what did I do?" he asked rubbing his head.

"you baka your office is piled with so much documents, mission reports, barrier patrol and you here !" she shouted as she was about to hit him again and that's when she noticed the Huyga standing a few steps away.

"Naruto was here with Hinata, were they on a date?" questioned Sakura t o her self.

"Hinata I didn't see you there" said Sakura as she dropped her fist.

Hinata smiled at her.

"Sorry for keeping Naruto" she quickly apologized.

"Oh that's okay I thought he was out her fooling around" she said as she place her hands on her hips

"Oh no " said Hinata with a smile.

Sakura hated to take Naruto away from Hinata right now but it was important that Naruto read those reports .

"Hinata would you mind if I brought Naruto back to the office ?" asked Sakura kindly.

As much as Hinata wanted to spend time with Naruto she knew that being the Hokage wasn't an easy job.

"yes of course have to get home now either ways" said Hinata she knew she meant the Uchiha. Then it hit her . Sakura.

"Thanks Hinata" she said as she grabbed onto Naruto ears and started pulling him.

"Ouch Sakura!" wailed Naruto in pain.

"Bye Hinata thanks a lot!" shouted Naruto at the top of his lungs.

Hinata couldn't help but to wonder as she looked at Skua, she felt horrible, she felt as though she have betrayed her pink haired friend. Sakura was in love with Sasuke since academy days and up until right now. Somehow she reminds me of myself. I surely would have felt hurt if I found out that Naruto was marrying someone else, but that's just it, he is going to marry someone else .

Hinata can feel her cheeks warming and fresh tears brimming her eyes. She needs to stop crying.

"Hinata -sama?" Hinata quickly wiped away the tears then turned around to see her cousin standing behind her.

Now she felt even more guilty from when she had snapped on him yesterday, it wasn't his fault he couldn't tell me, everyone wants to please her father, even now she is still trying to please him.

"Neji-niisan I'm …...Gomen" said the Huyga bowing her head.

Neji smiled at her cousin and nodded his head. She has nothing to apologize for, she was angry he understand that.

"it's okay Hinata

"hmm" said Hinata as she looked down.

"How is everything at the Uchiha compound?" asked Neji.

Hinata knew that , that question was eventually going to be asked. "it's beautiful everything is fine"

Neji narrowed his eyes.

"Are you okay Hinata?' asked Neji. Hinata was about to reply when she caught sight of her watch. She quickly took up her basket.

" Ano Gomen Neji-niisan I have to go." she apologized as she started running off. When did time fly by so fast, it's about 5:00 clock now and she haven't started making dinner. She sighed at the thought of having another silent , depressing dinner with Sasuke again.
