Hello Naruto fans! I'm sorry that I've been away from this story but I've been so busy with school work and my other stories as well. I feel so ashamed that I've let you guy's down. But no worries! I'm going to start posting more chapters of New Friend and Lover! Staring my two Fav Characters and # 1 couple in my book, Naruto and Hinata!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, then Naruto would hook up with Hinata and Sasuke would realize how stupid he's acting.
Naruto woke up to a new alarm clock, now smashed, and yawned and got ready for the academy. He walked down the street, ignoring the glares sent his way. He perked up when he saw Hinata, walking with Sasuke towards the academy.
"HEY HINATA-CHAN!" Hinata and Sasuke stopped. They turned around and saw Naruto waving and running towards them. Hinata waved back with a smile and a small blush on her face. Sasuke noticed the blush and smirked.
"I'll see you later at the academy, nee-chan, and make sure not to be late, today's the genin exam after all," Sasuke may seem cold-hearted, but he only showed his caring side to his sister and maybe potential wife, but we all know that will take awhile. Anyway, back to the story. .
"Hai nii-chan," She waited for Naruto to catch up as Sasuke began to walk away. She smiled as he stopped in front of her.
"Hey Naruto-kun, how are you?" Naruto smiled his big cheesy grin and put his hands behind his head.
"I'm excited of course! Today's the day of the genin exams and when we can finally become ninjas!" Hinata smiled at he's enthusiasm.
"Yea, I can't wait too," Naruto smiled at her. He frowned as a serious question was nagging at him.
"Ano, Hinata-chan, I don't mean to be rude, but how your both a Hyuga and an Uchiha?" Hinata smiled towards Naruto.
"It's okay, you not being rude, and I'll tell you," Hinata smiled a sad smile as she and Naruto continued walking towards the academy.
"Well, my mom is a Hyuga woman who was from the main branch of the family but not that high up and my father was actually related to Sasuke's father by being cousins. He met my mother one day during a regular meeting between clan leaders because Sasuke's brother was about to be born and his father was gone so my father took his place. My mom said that she saw him as he was leaving and when he saw her his eyes widened and my mom told me how she was shocked at being caught and had blushed and ran away. The next time they saw each other, he had asked her out and he said he wanted to do it the first time they met, but she ran away before he could talk to her," Hinata smiled at the memory of her mother telling her this. Her mother still lived at the Hyuga household and Hinata would always visit her whenever she could. Naruto saw her smiling and something inside him just wanted to keep that smile on her face. Hinata sighed and a sad frown appeared on her face.
"After I was born, my father was told by his clan members that he couldn't visit me because I was not of blood-status of the Uchiha clan and my mother could not visit him because the Hyuga family forbidden it. And since they couldn't visit anymore, I never saw my father before he died and the Hyuga clan treat me as an outcast. But I still have Sasuke-nii-chan. He found out that I was his sister after the Hokage told him my story. But it-it s-still hurts that I-ill never m-meet my d-dad," Hinata stopped and looked like she was about to break down crying. Naruto and Hinata had stopped in front of the old swing in front of the academy. Naruto saw a lone tear escape her eye and he stepped forward and wiped it away. Hinata gasped and looked into his eyes that had a sad look on his face.
"Please don't cry Hinata-chan," Naruto whispered. He felt so much pain and grief for not being able to comfort her somehow. Hinata blushed beet red at how close Naruto was, but nodded and wiped away any excess tears. Naruto smiled and pulled away, wearing his big cheesy grin.
"All right! Now, let's go to the academy and pass our genin exams and become the best ninjas ever!" Naruto pulled Hinata's hand and pulled her towards the academy. She blushed but giggled at Naruto's eagerness and ran along with him. He made her feel so much better by being him.
Naruto and Hinata ran into the classroom, laughing and out of breath. Naruto jerked and felt a murderous intent towards him. He slowly turned and dread filled him as he saw Sasuke glaring at him with the eyes that said 'Touch my sister and die dobe,' He saw he was still holding Hinata's hand, which she didn't seem to notice. He retracted his hand and Hinata turned to him while he blushed lightly and rubbed his neck in a sheepish gesture. He felt the murderous intent fade and sighed. He heard a dog bark and looked up to see Kiba Inuzuka and his dog Akamaru walking towards Hinata and him. He glared at Kiba. He always acted like he was all that and always made fun of Naruto whenever he could. He sneered at Naruto and cast a lecherous look at Hinata.
"Hey Hinata-chan, why don't you sit with me and not that dead-last loser?" Naruto felt anger coursing through him and was about to yell at Kiba when Hinata beat him to the punch. She got up in Kiba's face and poked him in the chest.
"Why would I want to sit next to you Inuzuka? You just another boy who thinks he can get any girl he wants well guess what, you can't get this girl, so I'm going to go sit with my brother and my Naruto and not you, so blegh!" Hinata stuck her tongue out at him and he stepped back and blinked. Akamaru barked at his master, probably saying "You just got served!" cause Kiba glared at him and walked away. Hinata pulled Naruto towards their seats near Sasuke and both of them sat down. Hinata sat down between the two boys and felt someone staring at her. She turned to see Ino waving and smiling at her and Hinata waved back. Kiba had dated Ino for awhile and then broke up with her unexpectedly for a cuter girl. Ino was so heartbroken. Hinata had told Ino to forget about that jerk and stand up on her own. Ino and Hinata had been friends ever since. Ino was the only girl in the class that didn't fall for Sasuke's looks. Iruka-sensei walked into the class and Hinata turned around and payed attention. Everyone sat up straighter (except Shikamaru of course lol). Iruka-Sensei coughed to start and began talking.
"Hello class. Today is the day where you begin your genin exam and see if you are cut out for the life of a ninja. I will be calling three people up at a time, so please stand up when I call your names. Would Choji Akimicha, Shino Aburame, and Sakura Haruno please follow me?" Those named stood up and followed Iruka-sensei. Naruto began chewing on his nails and he waited for his name.
"Oh man, what if I mess up on the Bushin Jutsu? That's always my worst jutsu," Hinata smiled at Naruto.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun, I'm sure you'll do fine," Naruto smiled at Hinata.
"Arigato, Hinata-chan," Sasuke smirked at Naruto.
"And if you don't pass, you can always watch me become an awesome ninja and learn from your mistakes," Naruto formed a tick mark and Hinata huffed at Sasuke.
"Nii-chan!"
"Teme!" Just then, the door opened and Choji, Shino, and Sakura walked out, all wearing ninja bands on them. Sakura smiled and ran over to Sasuke.
"Do you see Sasuke-kun? I became a ninja! Do you see my headband? Isn't it cute?" Sakura batted her eyelashes at Sasuke who "Hn"-Ed and turned his head. Hinata snorted. Sakura turned to her and gave her an icily glare.
"And just what is so amusing?" Hinata stood her ground and glared right back at Sakura, who flinched back.
"I would suggest you get over your crushes and fantasies, cause in the ninja world, the only you thing you should think about is surviving each day, got it Bubble-gum?" Sakura paled and ran back to her seat. Naruto turned to Hinata and frowned.
"Don't you think you were being harsh?" Hinata turned to him and gaped.
"Are you seriously defending her? She's treated you like shit and you defend her?" Naruto gulped and raised his hand in defense.
"No, I was just..." Iruka-sensei came out before Naruto could defend himself.
"Could Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, and Hinata Uchiha-Hyuga please come with me?" Hinata stood up fast and walked away from Naruto, grumbling and angry. Naruto sighed and slumped down in his chair. Sasuke frowned at Naruto.
"Listen dobe, I know my sister and you seem close, but if you try to hurt her, then I'll break your face. Hinata and I have both lost what you call the innocence of being children when my clan was killed. If it wasn't for Hinata, I would be an emotional wreck and probably an emo. She helped me out of the dark. I don't know if you know what it's like to almost losing yourself to the dark in you and giving in," With that, Sasuke turned away from Naruto and left him swimming in his own thoughts. Naruto had once felt the darkness when he was young, but the Hokage and Iruka-sensei both helped him out of that. Maybe Hinata was right about being serious. The door opened and revealed Hinata, Kiba, and Shikamaru all wearing their brand new headbands. Hinata was wearing her's around her neck. Hinata glared at Naruto when he opened his mouth to her.
"I'm sorry," Hinata blinked and stopped glaring. She sat down and looked towards him.
"You're right. We shouldn't act like kids anymore and you were right about Sakura. She did treat me like shit and I shouldn't defend her at all, and for that I'm sorry," Hinata smiled at Naruto.
"It's all right Naruto-kun, I forgive you. Friends again?" Hinata held out her pinkie. Naruto smiled and wrapped his pinkie around her's.
"For sure," Hinata and Naruto smiled. Sasuke smirked. Iruka-sensei walked out again.
"Will Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Ino Yamanaka please follow me?" Naruto and Sasuke stood up. As they walked out, Naruto turned towards Hinata and put his thumb up.
"Don't worry Hinata-Chan, I'll come back with a headband and then we can be on the same team," Hinata giggled and gave a return thumbs up to Naruto.
"Okay Naruto-kun!"
Naruto walked into the room and saw Sasuke and Ino being monitored by other chunins. Naruto walked over to Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei. He walked up to the desk and saw the new headbands gleaming. He couldn't wait to get his. Iruka-sensei smiled at Naruto.
"Okay, Naruto, all you need to do is just give us some simple Bushin clones, 3 max," Naruto gulped. That was his worst jutsu! He breather deeply and tried to concentrate his chakra.
"Clone Jutsu!" Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke, and then it cleared and showed two Naruto's standing together but one deformed Naruto lying on the ground. Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei gaped at the clone. Iruka-sensei formed a tick mark on his forehead.
"YOU FAIL!" Naruto gaped and groaned.
"Aw, come on Iruka-sensei! I got to pass!" Iruka-sensei frowned and shook his head.
"No, I'm sorry Naruto, you fail," Mizuki-sensei cam up to Iruka-sensei and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Come on, Iruka, I'm sure that we can let Naruto pass this time, he did make one clone good," Naruto shook his head up and down in agreement. Iruka-sensei sighed and turned to Mizuki.
"No, we can't Mizuki. If we gave him special treatment, then it wouldn't be fair to the other children," Naruto frowned.
"Ugh! Fine then!" Naruto walked out of the classroom and out of the whole academy. He couldn't face Hinata of he didn't have his headband. He was never going to be on the same team with her and he was never going to be a ninja together with her. Naruto sat down on the swing set on sighed. He saw everyone coming out of the academy wearing their new headbands and talking with their parents. Naruto gripped the set harder.
"Look, it's him,"
"Looks like he didn't pass,"
"Good thing too, that kid shouldn't be a ninja,"
"Yea, since he is..."
"Shh! Remember the law," Naruto heard the muttering and looked down even harder. He saw a shadow approached him and looked up to see Mizuki-sensei standing over him.
"Oh, hey Mizuki-sensei, what's up?" Mizuki sighed.
"I'm sorry about Iruka, Naruto, I wish he ddi pass you," Naruto frowned and looked down.
"It's okay, I'll always try again next year," Mizuki frowned then smiled at Naruto.
"How about I tell you a secret Naruto that will help you pass?"Naruto sat up straighter and smiled.
"Really?" Mizuki smiled.
"Yep, all you have to do his take the forbidden scroll from the Hokage's library and go into the forest and wait for me there and I'll help you with your training," Naruto stood up and grinned.
"Awesome, thanks' Mizuki-sensei! I will defiantly be there!" Naruto ran off in search of the scroll and Mizuki grinned and evil grin
'Yea, you do that, you demon brat,'
