Hey guys thank you for your reviews, they were very much appreciated, I'm going to try to make this the most interesting as I can make it, also I want to apologize for the bad grammar and thank those that helped me with the pointers in where I made my mistakes.
Disclaim: "what the hell is a disclaim?" (Is where you claim that you don't own something or someone) "Uhmm ok whatever I don't own Naruto nor Hinata but this story is mine"
Shy X Style X Confrontations
" Ok nii-san I think we are far enough so, will you tell me what happened and why did you brought Hinata with you?" asked Naruto once again, he noticed that Hinata didn't want to talk about it but the buy was curious
"Naruto, I don't think is ok for you to inquire in matters that doesn't concern you" said Itachi somehow annoyed with the boy
"I-Is o-ok U-Uchiha-san, h-he i-is just c-curious, a-and, he i-is going to f-find o-out once t-the hunter nins c-come f-for me" said Hinata with a saddened expression
Itachi frowned and glared at Naruto for making the girl depressed, and the boy got ashamed of himself so he did what he thought best at that moment.
Once again Hinata went from depressed to depressed-but-happy state and a beautiful cherry red face, Naruto kind of find it cute that she would blush that much.
"I don't want to make you depressed, and I promise you that I will never let anyone hurt you, but I need to know what happened, or I won't be able to knos against what I'm supposed to fight, I just want to protect you" said Naruto with a serious face.
Hinata couldn't believe it, her crush was willing to fight and protect her, it was just like that one dream when he….and then….and after that she….just remembering that made her feel dizzy. She was about to faint but used all her will power to not do it now and enjoy more of the embrace.
"N-Naruto-kun t-thank you, a-and I p-promise to w-work hard t-to p-protect y-you too" said Hinata while hiding her face in his shirt.
After a lot of stuttering and some misunderstandings later, Hinata told Naruto everything that happened, since the physical and mental abuse her father gave her, to the moment that Itachi rescued her.
Naruto was royally pissed off, he just couldn't believe what happened to Hinata, but the proof was that the girl was just damn too shy for her own good, and not only that but there was a faint scar near the lower lip in the right of her face.
"THAT MAN IS AN ASSHOLE, IM GOING TO KILL HIM WHEN I SEE HIM AGAIN, JUST HOW COULD HE DO THAT TO YOU, HIS OWN DAUGHTER" by this time Naruto was leaking red chakra and Itachi knew this was not a good sign.
"Naruto you need to calm down, think that after your training with me you will more likely be able to kill that man for what he did to her, but right now you need to calm yourself and focus in the training got it?" said Itachi trying to convince but it didn't seemed to work.
Hinata saw this and for the first time she did something she had never done before, she talked without stuttering "Naruto-kun thank you for your concerning but at the end I got something good of all this, I can travel with you and Uchiha-san and I want to get stronger to protect you" at this point she realized that she was hugging Naruto and started to lose her determination, "and because y-you are a v-very p-precious f-friend t-to m-me" that was it, she couldn't hold it anymore and what better way to get out of that situation that fainting, so that she did.
Naruto was calm at that moment and just stared at the smiling face of the Hyuga princess with a smirk of his own, he was happy that she thought of him as a friend because he always thought no one wanted to be near him, but after hearing her story he guessed that she always had tried to be his friend but maybe her family didn't allowed her to.
"Itachi nii-san, it was a good idea to bring her with us, but now I want to know what caused you to get spotted?" asked Naruto while letting Hinata rest in his lap.
"Well is a long, sad, and tragic story that mix horror and adventure with a bit of romance and humor" said Itachi trying to avoid the subject
"oh yeah?, enlighten me please? I think it would be a good story before we go to sleep" answered Naruto while trying to get Itachi start with the fantastic tale.
"well you see, I was on my way to the Hokage tower when I remembered that the scrolls were moved to the state were your parents used to live, it had a lot of seals, so I did what I thought was better and blew up some of them…" Naruto waited patiently for him to continue but after a minute of nothing just asked, "that's all?"
Itachi just looked at him and then nodded, "that's all", Naruto wanted to rant about it not being adventurous, romantic nor humorous but decided against it as Hinata was still unconscious.
After a while Hinata opened her eyes and noticed that she had a soft pillow but didn't remembered the place, she turned right and noticed two big blue orbs looking to her lavender ones, as she took in that she was resting in Naruto lap he decided to say something "Hi, nice to see you are awake" with this Hinata quickly blushed and fainted again.
Itachi wanted to face-palm himself but decided against it, Naruto was curious so he looked at Itachi and asked "hey nii-chan, why is Hinata fainting and getting red?, is she sick?" Itachi couldn't resist and hit himself in the face against a tree.
"that's not very sane nii-san" said Naruto, Itachi looked at him and said "like is not sane to be too oblivious but I will let that aside for now, and as for why she does that, well ask her when she wakes up" Naruto looked puzzled and decided to just do that.
Meanwhile…..
"Hokage-sama I want to know if there are any news about my daughter and her whereabouts" asked Hiashi walking in the office as if he owned the place.
"Hiashi, I will have to remember you that this is my office and not your compound, you can't enter whenever you want to, is that clear?" asked the Hokage with a glare that made the Hyuga shiver, but he was not about to show it.
"My apologies Hokage-sama, but I'm worried about my daughter" said Hiashi trying to excuse himself, thought Sarutobi didn't believed him.
"I'm sure you are, but sadly our ANBU team couldn't find traces or clues that point the direction they headed to" Hiashi was not pleased with this, that girl was a risk to his clan, he should find her and kill her in the spot just to make sure she doesn't get kidnaped again in the way back to the village.
"What about the Inuzuka´s? What are those dogs doing that they can't find a single child?" asked Hiashi annoying the Third.
"HIASHI HYUGA, I WILL NOT LET YOU DERATE MY SHINOBI LIKE THAT!" Yelled Sarutobi with anger in his eyes
"Yes Hokage-sama, I'm sorry "with this Hiashi left the place not wanting to find out why the old man was still the Hokage.
As he reached the Hyuga compound he called a squad of branch members to quickly go looking for the failure he raised, the squad quickly deployed but as always they just stayed in the outside of the village doing nothing.
XxNarutoxX
"Naruto-kun…" Naruto turned to see Hinata sleeping and saying his name in her dreams, he got curious and crawled closer to her "…you silly ~giggles~… no.. Don't do that ~more giggles~…not there… ~and yep, even more cute giggles~…." Naruto raised his brow in confusion and looked at the smiling face of the girl wondering just what the hell could she be dreaming about.
"…You know I…." just as she was going to say something important Itachi dropped some training weights in the ground scaring Naruto and waking Hinata in the process.
"Oops, sorry…hmm…it just slipped my hand" Said Itachi with a face betraying the poor excuse
"Yea sure… whatever, Hinata can I ask you something?" Hinata looked at him and then nodded.
"What were you dreaming about, you said my name and then something about not doing something and you were…like…laughing? But in a cute way" at this Hinata was totally red but she didn't faint
"w-well hmm p-probably something i-I d-don't r-remember a-anything a-about i-it" said Hinata while playing with her fingers nervously
"Weird, well whatever it was it seemed funny and you had a cute laugh" said Naruto smiling and not even aware of the effect it caused in the poor girl as he just saw her plop in to the dream world again.
Itachi just smiled at this and decided to tease the boy a little, maybe he could realize something important while being embarrassed and it would give Itachi a fair entertainment.
"Naruto, if you keep making her faint like that I can't train her properly so, would you stop flirting at least while we reach the next village?" this made Naruto turn red and started to yell random curses that didn't make any sense because he was embarrassed.
"You know what, forget it, I'm going to train" said still very flushed about the whole thing and just headed out somewhere nice to train.
Xx Two weeks later in Konoha xX
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, HOW CAN YOU BE TOO INCOMPETENT, I ONLY ORDERED YOU TO GET SOME CLUES FROM MY DAGUTHER'S KIDNAPER!" Said a very angry Hiashi, the squad didn't say anything and just bowed.
"Hiashi-sama, please let me look for her by my own" Said Neji bowing down, from all the branch family he was the only one that hated her cousin, and he was looking forward to see her die.
"Alright Neji, you are free to do as you wish, I'm expecting positive news from you" Said Hiashi while going back to his paperwork waving his hand to dismiss him.
Neji quickly went to the Forest Area, he knew he had to sneak out the village to try and find more clues, he aws not a full-fledged ninja yet.
Once there he started looking carefully for any clues but he didn't expect this to be easy so he prepared to be there at least three more days.
"Who are you and what are you doing?" Asked a girl around his age with auburn hair in two buns , and a pink Chinese quipao.
Neji looked at her with a serious face but if you looked very very very close to his face you could see a red tint in his cheeks
"I'm working" said Neji while avoiding her gaze.
"can I help you? I sneaked out to get materials for my weapons but I can spare some time" asked the girl while giving the puppy look.
"but you don't even know what I'm looking for, and why would you want to help me?" asked Neji while rising a brow, he couldn't understand why a cute girl like her… woa woa woa "cute? What the hell.."
"Because you look like you need to find something and because you look cute so I'm going to help ya" stated the little girl
Neji blushed at this but looked away quickly to cover it, "I think is ok then, but don't get in my way, I need to find any clues about my cousin whereabouts, she was kidnaped a while ago and my uncle is mad.
"Alright then, my name is TenTen, what's yours? Or should I just call you cute boy?" asked TenTen with a big smile.
"I'm Neji" answered the guy.
Xx Hinata xX
It was morning already, she had a very nice dream about her crush proposing and hugging her, and other thinks I can't tell you because this is T rated. Itachi saw that Hinata was awake.
"Hinata, I don't know if you are aware of this but, you talk in your sleep….quite loudly" said Itachi
"I-I…d-did I s-s-say s-s-something s-strange?" asked Hinata blushing a whole new shade of red and almost fainting
"you did, and you said Naruto's name a lot, other things too, I will not tell him but you should do something about it, life can change in the flick of a finger" Itachi walked to the forest to start training again, they were actually approaching Stone Country.
"Hinata, once we reach the next village we are going to start your first step of training, we need to develop a new fighting style that suits you and can use your byakugan as an advantage, I have some ideas but for now, go get Naruto and pack everything.
Hinata blushed, she walked to Naruto and saw him sleeping peacefully, she almost feel like letting him sleep for a while but decided against it.
"N-Naruto-kun w-wake up" Naruto opened his eyes and found Hinata at his side, he took a look at her clothes, she was not wearing the same baggy jacket, instead she had a cute lavender tank top with a sleeveless fishnet and a black pant
"Hinata-chan, good morning, where is Nii-san? Are we leaving now?" questioned Naruto with a blush on his cheeks.
The truth is, when they bought her clothes he noticed that Hinata was cute, he always thought she was chubby or something like that because of her previous clothes but…damn he was wrong… Sakura was just nothing compared to her.
"Y-Yes N-Naruto-kun" Naruto just stared at her for a while.
"You look cute when you stutter and blush like that" he said without thinking….again….after a few seconds it dawned on Naruto that he had just said that out-loud.
"I-I m-mean y-you a-a-always l-l-look cute b-b-but….aah y-you k-k-now w-w-what i-i-I'm going t-t-to l-look f-for n-nii-san" he blurted out and went to the forest.
Hinata was blushing furiously "He called me cute…" and after that she fainted.
Naruto found Itachi and greeted him "good morning nii-san" Itachi nodded.
"Naruto, we are near Stone Country but I was thinking about Hinata's training and perhaps is a better idea to go to Tea Country, I have an old friend that maybe can help" Said Itachi, he knew that Tea country was in the south of Fire country, that only meant they needed either go back, or walk around Fire Country and the first was not a good option.
Hinata woke up and went to look for Itachi and Naruto while blushing, Itachi and Naruto saw her walking to them and Naruto remembered what happened.
"I need to go change…so….I'll be back" said Naruto while running back to get changed.
Itachi then turned to Hinata and saw her staring to where Naruto had gone.
"Did I miss something? You seem quite flustered today…. A lot more than you normally are that is" Hinata looked at him and then back to where Naruto went.
"He said I looked cute when stuttering and blushing" said Hinata and Itachi noticed that she didn't even stutter this time.
"Did he? Maybe that is why he was embarrassed, he probably talked out loud what he was thinking" Itachi started to walk to where Naruto had gone but then stopped.
"Hinata we are going to Tea country" Hinata nodded and followed him.
xX Neji Xx
It have been the worst 5 days of his life, he was only supposed to be outside the compound three days, but this girl dragged him to the border between Fire country and Rain country.
"You know TenTen, I'm starting to think you don't know what you are doing, I mean, how can they even be near the border?" asked Neji a bit irritated.
"Come on Neji-kun, they could have been here, I mean maybe they needed a boat or something" said TenTen.
They reached the port when a drunk sailor spotted them.
"You little twerp, what the hell are you doing here…*burp*… I told that other girl yesterday, I don't like stuck up kids" Neji just ignored the man, and decided to go away when the man grabbed his attention
"Yeah that's right go away, you and her are just the same….stupid…Hyuga stuck ups…*burp*" Neji quickly grabbed the men by the collar
"Where did she go? ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW OR I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR TROATH OUT GOT IT?" yelled Neji.
TenTen was a bit scared by the boy, he looked royally pissed off and she didn't know why, she was staring to believe that helping him was maybe a mistake, but he was cute and she couldn't help it.
"They asked for a boat to Tea country and I don't know anymore and I don't care and im going to puke on your shirt….wraaalk *pukes*" Neji throw the filthy man aside.
"I think you need a bath and a change of clothes" said TenTen.
"And what gives you that idea TenTen? Is it the fact that im covered by puke or perhaps the fact that I smell" asked Neji with sarcasm.
"Both" answered TenTen and started laughing and rolling through the floor.
Neji started walking away to find a public bath.
xX Itachi Xx
Things were going smooth for the group. They reached the Tea country and were near Sora Village.
"Once we reach the village we are going to look for my friend, she will help Hinata with her training" Hinata turned to Itachi with a puzzled face.
"Wh-What k-kind o-of t-training?" Itachi looked at her and then to Naruto that was actually training in the second step of a jutsu called Rasensomething… ok he was bad with names.
" I think your problems with Jyuken resides in the fact that the style was made for the Hyugas with a earth affinity, but two weeks ago while trying to figure out your affinities we found out you were a water type. It actually made sense you couldn't master the Jyuken because water affinity are less stiff and more fluent with their movements" said Itachi while thinking in how they were going to make it work.
"But first we need to work on your confidence problems and I think I have the perfect idea for that" he then walked to Naruto leaving a confused Hinata behind.
After a while they reached the village and went straight to look for Itachi's friend, after a while they reached a house in the other side of the village.
"This is the place, wait here while I go to check out if my friend is still here" Itachi walked to the house while Naruto and Hinata stayed behind.
"So… has Itachi nii-san told you already what's the next step in your training?" asked Naruto trying to break the awkward silence, it had been like that since that time when he called her cute.
"k-kind o-of..." said Hinata while blushing.
"Hey Hinata why don't we try working on your stuttering problem? I have a good idea that may work" said Naruto
"o-ok w-what d-do y-you h-have i-in m-mind" asked Hinata while blushing.
"why don't you try taking deep breath, you seems nervous, try to calm yourself, close your eyes and forget for a moment that there is someone next to you" said Naruto, when he was 4 he had that problem because he was shunned by everyone, there was a point where he was shy, but Inu had helped him that time.
Hinata did what he asked and closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Ok let's try this, Hinata what is your favorite food?" asked Naruto, the truth was, this was only an excuse to try and get to know her better.
"I like cinnamon rolls Naruto-kun" answered Hinata fully aware that she didn't stutter this time.
"awesome Hinata you didn't stutter, ok so what is your favorite color?" Hinata this time took another deep breath and opened her eyes while smiling
"I love purple and blue Naruto-kun" Hinata was happy, she didn't stutter but it wasn't because of the exercise. It was because she was happy that Naruto-kun was taking interest in her and she didn't want to ruin this moment.
"Those are cute colors, but I like orange better" Said Naruto smiling at her.
At that moment Itachi approached with a blue haired girl, she had gray eyes and was wearing a blue yukata
"This is Hinata and the blonde one is Naruto" said Itachi.
"Nice to meet you guys my name is Ran, Itachi here has told me that Hinata wanted to train and get better with her fighting style" Said Ran smiling at the girl.
Hinata was about to answer but remembered what Naruto told her, she took a deep breath, calmed herself and then answered.
"Yes, I would love to improve myself to protect my precious people" answered Hinata without stuttering.
This surprised Itachi and then looked at Naruto.
"What did you do to her? She seems a bit more confident" Asked Itachi but Naruto just shrugged.
Ran then took them inside the house "Ok guys, first things first you are going to stay in the rooms in the guest's rooms in the second floor but the problems is that there are only two rooms available… "Ran was about to give one room to the boys and the other for Hinata when Itachi and his evil mind worked his earlier plan.
"I'm sorry to say this but I will not share a room with Naruto, I have sleep with him enough in the way back here and I'm not exactly fond to his snores" said Itachi as he quickly took a key and placed a seal in the inside of his room.
"Ok… so that leaves one room and two people, I hope this is not a problem Hinata" Hinata was blushing madly "I'm going to share my room with him" This was too much for her and fainted.
Naruto caught her before she hit the floor and looked at Itachi who was just standing there smirking as if he did the best prank ever.
A/N: I know this is hard but TRY to picture him smirking.
"I thought she wouldn't faint seeing how you helped with her stuttering" said Itachi while going into his room.
"whatever, I will get my revenge nii-san , mark my words Itachi. One day I'm going to enjoy seeing you at the exact same position and I'm going to love every second of it" said Naruto and took Hinata to their room.
Ran went with Naruto and Hinata, "well guys I'm sorry about Itachi, I will see you later after you get some rest, I will tell you when dinner is ready ok?" Naruto nodded and thanked the girl before laying Hinata in the bed.
He brushed some hair behind her ear, "god she is very cute, I wonder if things would have been different if I had noticed her before Sakura, would she hit me if I asked her out?"
Naruto extended a futon in the floor near the bed and took a quick nap.
Ran was with Itachi in his room at the moment scolding him.
"What were you thinking, they are just kids and…" she was going to argue even more but Itachi Interrupted her.
"Exactly… they are just kids so they will not make anything foolish, but Hinata needs to work her confidence and Naruto is the only one that can help her" said Itachi.
He proceeded to tell Ran about Hinata and her family, all the abuse and the way Kasumi just made him take her with him.
Ran couldn't believe it. What kind of sick man would do something like that to her own daughter.
"I will teach her all I know, and you will see that once she knows the properly dance she will have no equal in taijutsu." Said Ran with a determined look
xX Neji Xx
Neji really wanted to follow them but he wasn't prepared for a long trip to Tea Country and he didn't know how much it would take him to get there, besides holydays were ending and he needed to attend school, but he had very good information to give to the clan head.
Once back at Konoha he walked TenTen to her house, he owed her that much since it was her idea to go to the River Country border.
After he was sure she got safe he returned to the compound and went directly to Hiashi.
"Hiashi-sama, I have news on Hinata-sama whereabouts" said Neji bowing down at the Hyuga leader.
"Very good Neji is nice to see there is someone reliable to do his job" Said Hiashi with a smirk in his face.
"However Hiashi-sama the news I have are not what you are expecting" Hiashi raised a brow and waited for the boy to continue.
"I'm afraid that this was not a kidnap and that Hinata-sama went by her own free will, it seems she went to the Tea Country with the Uchiha bastard and apparently there is someone else with them" Said Neji
Hiashi was furious, how dare that scum to run away like that but now he had the perfect excuse to kill her, but first he needed to do something else.
"Make Kasumi go to the backyard of the manor and call everyone in the branch family" ordered Hiashi while walking away to get the elder together.
Once everyone was outside they waited patiently for whatever was going to come, thought Kasumi already knew very well what was going to happen and she was prepared for it.
Hiashi walked to the backyard and faced everyone, "I have got news about my daughter thanks to Neji, and it seems that stupid piece of trash run away by herself" Everyone keep quiet but they knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Now what I want to know is why did you let her run away Kasumi" Hiashi faced her with an angry expression, " You knew what was going to happen to her and you knew she deserved it but even so you let her escape, it seems that you don't have the best interest of our clan in mind"
Kasumi looked at Hiashi with an angered face, "I will not let you talk about her like that, Hinata-sama was the only one that really cared about us as a family and you only treated her like trash, she was your own daughter and even so… I don't know how twisted you are Hiashi, but I don't regret my choice"
Hiashi had enough and activated the caged bird seal. Kasumi was in pain but she keep glaring at the man.
"ONE DAY SHE IS GOING TO COME BACK AND YOU WILL REGRET EVERITHING YOU DID TO HER, SHE IS GOING TO MAKE US THE BEST CLAN EVER AND THE BEST OF IT ALL IS THAT I WAS THE ONE THAT STARTED IT AND YOU HIASHI AND ALL MAIN BRANCH MEMBER WILL DIE" screamed Kasumi in pain as the seal got stronger.
"You filthy trash, how dare you spat that nonsense…" said Hiashi while applying more chakra to the seal.
"I will see you in hell Hiashi...You will never see your wife again in the afterlife… I will make sure of that…" With that Kasumi's dead body collapsed.
"Jin, Koro, Nakamaru, Do you have anything to say? You were the ones to find her "Injured" and stated that my daughter had been kidnapped" Jin had already foreseen this would happen and he already had a backup plan, thought it didn't end well for him.
"Yes Sir, I knew all along, I was there before my teammates reached the place and I already knew what Kasumi did, I knocked her out and then told Koro and Nakamaru what happened, it was mine and Kasumi's doing sir, and I don't regret it because I'm sure that lady Hinata will make this clan stronger" once he finished talking Hiashi just activated the seal and killed him in the spot.
"Take the bodies out of here, Koro, Nakamaru, I hope you don't forget what has just happened here and use it as an example of what will happen when you go against our clan tradition" said Hiashi.
Koro and Nakamaru only nodded. Oh they will remember this day that much was true.
After two days Nakamaru had decided to get the hell out of the Hyuga compound. There were more important things to him that waiting to be killed in the spot, and besides lady Hinata needed someone that could teach her the secrets of the Byakugan.
He entered Hiashi's office and searched the place for the scroll that contained the most powerful secrets of the Byakugan and got out of there.
When Hiashi stepped in his room he found it totally crashed and a note that said "For the glory of the Hyuga Clan"
An angry Hiashi quickly demanded to know who left the compound and after finding it was Nakamura he made Koro come to his office.
"You are in this too aren't you? You are his teammate so tell me why are you two so fixated in helping a low trash as Hinata?" Koro knew his mission has ended well. He was the one that delayed Hiashi until Nakamaru got out of there.
"You know nothing Hiashi, you and the main branch had forgot something important, and that's why you are all going down one day, it only pains me that I will not going to be alive to see you die by your own daughter hands". Said Koro
"Oh, so enlighten me please and tell me what this we forgot about is" asked Hiashi while activating the seal.
"We…are… all…family" and with that Koro died and what angered Hiashi the most was the smile in the man's face and not only him, everyone that had died for Hinata had a smile on their faces.
"Neji!" Hiashi demanded the boy's presence.
"Hiashi sama? What can I do for you?" Hiashi looked at the boy and knew that he was the only one that could be reliable enough for this mission.
"I know you hate my daughter Neji, you blame her for my brother's dead and you are right, it was all her fault, so I will give you a long term mission once you are out of the academy understood?" Neji nodded and waited for this so called mission.
"You are to find Hinata and kill her in the spot, bring me her head as a proof of your mission and I promise you the hand of my daughter Hanabi in return, and with this you will be the clan head once I die or step down" said Hiashi knowing that the boy would not step down this offer.
"It will be an honor sir, and I will do as you request" said Neji bowing down.
"One more thing before you go Neji, from this day you are the branch family head so you will report to me everything that happens in the branch compound, is that understood?" Asked Hiashi with a smirk seeing how Neji was shocked by this.
Neji only nodded and got out of there.
Hanabi couldn't believe her father did that to her, she was going to be the clan head but how could he just give her as a price to be earn for good job and to kill her sister no less. She started to believe that her sister did the right thing when she got away but unfortunately she had not that luck.
The good thing is that she was only four (A/N: I know she is actually 5 years younger than Hinata but im gonna make her a bit older for this story so bear with it) she had enough time to plans a way to escape or wait until her sister came to rescue her.
Hanabi admired her sister, even though Hiashi always beat her to the ground Hinata always got up again but what she liked the most was that it didn't mattered if she was kicked, pounded or whatever it was, she still was the same kind and shy Hinata.
"I really miss sister" said Hanabi while going to her room.
xX Three weeks later in the Tea Country Xx
Hinata had been training with Ran, at first she thought it would be some kind of harsh training for a new taijutsu stance or something like that but it turned out that all she needed was learn to dance.
But this was not any dance, this was a traditional dance that mixed a lot of spins and some of the Jyuken katas were easily adaptable, Hinata was actually getting the hang of it very quick and her flexibility only helped her to improve quicker and make some very hard moves.
Naruto was speechless; he had seen Hinata train and the way she danced was just beautiful. The way her hair danced with each movement. But he figured it was just because the dance was pretty so he shook the thoughts aside.
"Ok Hinata that's enough you have made a great progress the rest is up to you and how you adapt to fighting with this style" said Ran totally proud of this girl
"Thank you Ran nee-san but I think I will practice a bit longer…" then quietly she added " I…kind of like when he is looking at me…" Hinata flushed but she was getting better with her shyness.
After the second night with Naruto she figured that fainting will not do any good as she would miss the chance to talk with him in private more frequently; so after a hard time trying to not faint she had achieved to talk with Naruto without stuttering or fainting and the only exception to the rule was when he hugged her…and that happened a lot.
Naruto was now trying to learn how to make the Rasengan without a Shadow clone and he was getting better but his chakra control was not good enough. Itachi had said that a good way to get a better chakra control was by trying to manipulate his elemental affinity but the exercise proved to be too much for now.
Even so Naruto was probably better than any genin with half year of experience so it was ok.
Itachi then remembered a jutsu that Naruto should learn and probably this would help him too with the Rasengan thought it was kind of dangerous.
"Naruto come here, I have something for you…and yes is a high level jutsu so please don't start yelling ok?" said Itachi smiling at Naruto's excited face.
"what is it Nii-san, does it have something to do with a big flashy move?" asked Naruto wanting to see the new jutsu already.
"No but I assure you that is a very powerful move that let the Yondaime win the third great shinobi war." Said Itachi knowing that Naruto wanted to be better than him.
"Ok so what do I have to do?" asked Naruto and Itachi just gave him a scroll.
"That I don't know as only the Fourth could achieve this jutsu but, I think you will manage to discover how to make it work" Said Itachi with confidence as Naruto read the scroll over and over again trying to figure out the whole thing.
"hmm this looks kind of hard, I think is going to take a while before I can make some progress with this" said Naruto calmly.
Hinata spotted Naruto and decided to take a break so she went and sat beside him.
"something new Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata while blushing.
"Just this new jutsu nii-san gave to me but is kind of hard" said Naruto while showing her the scroll.
She took it and read what it said but it looked a lot complicated and advanced so she decided to give it back to Naruto.
"Is going to take you a while right? But you know, I have the feeling that you can do it Naruto-kun" said Hinata while standing up and going to the house.
Naruto just stared at her and then to the sky "This is not bad at all, and I don't miss anything from that stupid village" and with that he decided to follow Hinata to the house.
He was about to enter the house when suddenly he was greeted by a strange man. He knew there was something familiar with him but what?
"Excuse me young man but would you please be so kind to tell me where can I find Lady Hinata? You see, I have an important delivery to her" said the man while taking notice of the strange look Naruto was giving him.
"Who are you and why do you want to see Hinata? Are you a hunter?" asked Naruto cautious of this strange man.
"Nothing like that, I'm from Konoha yes but I'm not here to hurt anyone, I just want to deliver this scroll to Hinata-sama as this contains the strongest secrets of our byakugan" said the man uncovering himself.
"My name is Nakamaru Hyuga and I used to be an old guard but, I decided to leave because the clan is just not what I should be. Just please let me see my Lady Hinata and I give you my word that I won't do anything to hurt her" After a while Naruto decided to go and call Hinata.
After hearing who was looking for her Hinata ran to the door and quickly hugged the man
"Maru-san what are you doing here, I thought you would be in Konoha. Tell me how is everyone and how is Kasumi doing" Itachi and Naruto were at her side already.
Nakamaru didn't wanted to tell him but he could not lie either so it was better to tell her the true than hide as she would find out later anyway.
"I'm sorry Hinata-sama but… I'm afraid I am the only one alive… Kasumi died when your cousin Neji discovered where you had gone and told Hiashi you didn't were kidnaped… Jin was the second to die right after Kasumi… Koro was the last, my brother distracted Hiashi while I got this and after a while he didn't caught me so… he is certainly dead…I'm sorry Hinata-sama" Hinata was crying right now.
Naruto didn't liked seeing Hinata like this, he went to hug her and she returned the embrace while crying in his chest.
Itachi was sad… Kasumi was one of his friends from academy and the only that didn't judge him for what he had done.
"Hinata-sama, everyone wished for you to have this and to comeback one day to regain what was yours from the beginning, they also wanted you to make us a stronger clan by uniting us again as a family" Nakamaru gave her the secret scroll.
"I'm not going back Nakamaru, I will go and free everyone but if I go back is just to level the compound and kill everyone for what they have done" said Hinata with decision in her eyes.
Nakamaru had never seen this fire in her eyes and it was a good sign. It was the sign that the so needed change was about to come.
"Hinata-sama I must inform you too, with what happened is probably that Hiashi will give Hanabi-sama's hand to Neji to make it clan head, I'm afraid he did it to get you killed and get Neji in his side" said Nakamaru.
Hinata was furious. How could her father…screw that. How could Hiashi do that to her sister.
"It will not happen Nakamaru because I won't let it happen" said Hinata while turning back and going inside the house.
Everyone followed her and started planning the next years training. Naruto knew that the years to come were going to be harsh but he was going to help Hinata to achieve her goal.
"The most I learn of that stupid place the more I start hating it" said Naruto and then he went to sleep.
xX 3 Years and a half later in konoha Xx
"Hokage-sama, I think is time to stop sending troops to search for them" said Kakashi with a saddened expression.
"I know Kakashi but it pains me to have failed like this to Minato" said Sarutobi while looking at the picture of him and an eight years old Naruto.
"These villagers are a bunch of stupid people that can't even differentiate between a jail and it's prisoner "Said Kakashi with a scowl in his face.
"I know but there is nothing that I can do to change the way people think" answered Sarutobi.
"Well, if you excuse me Hokage-sama I have a meeting with Rin and I'm still thinking hard about the whole teacher thing" said Kakashi bowing down and getting out of the Hokage's office.
After a while he found Rin at the memorial stone, she turned to look at him and smiled.
" hey there, I thought you were with the Hokage" said Rin while looking back to the stone.
"I was but I have things more important than a meeting about me taking a genin squad and I know the council only wants me to be Sasuke's teacher because of his sharingan" Said Kakashi and then started to walk away from the stone with Rin at his side.
"I still believe you will be a good teacher" said Rin with a grin in her face "thought you would probably piss them off with your tardiness" Kakashi eye-smiled at this and then shrugged.
"Meh they will just have to deal with it" Said Kakashi. They walked through the streets of Konoha hand in hand.
xX Team Gai at Tea-CountryXx
"Gai-sensei I would like permission to take a detour as there is someone I wold like to find" said Neji.
"Ok you are free to go but be quick please" answered Gai while going back to train with Lee as their mission was over already.
After walking for a while he found two old villagers talking peacefully and enjoying a goo Tea cup, "I really miss that sweet girl, she was always smiling and her eyes were beautiful" Said the old man.
"Yes she was certainly lovely I wonder if she was blind, but she appeared to see just fine" said the old woman at his side.
"oh well Hina-chan will come back one day dear" said the old man while laughing.
Neji heard this and quickly went to the old couple.
"Excuse me would you tell me more about this Hina person? I'm looking for my cousin Hinata and I am very worried about her" said Neji with a serious expression.
"Oh yes dear, they were here till some months ago but it seems they left, I don't know where thought" said the old woman.
"But young man, you don't have to try and lie to us, I know you are not worried for her and I can see in your eyes a hate that sould not be there against someone so sweet" said the old man giving a stern look at Neji
"What would you know! You know nothing about my life or how hard it has been" yelled Neji.
"Maybe you are right after all…I am just an old man that has only lived for almost 75 years so what would I know about a youngster like you hahaha" said the man and then he took a sip to his tea.
"I'm out of here" Neji glared at the old couple and then walked away.
xX Wind country border Xx
"Are we there yet? Because im getting tired" asked a green haired girl.
"Don't worry Fu-chan we are almost there" answered Hinata.
"But that is what you have been saying for the last two hours" Fu-was getting exasperated.
"I don't know why we let her come, my god she is just too noisy for her own good" said Naruto while Itachi gave him a weird look.
"That coming from you? Is the world coming to an end?" asked Itachi and Naruto just frowned and avoided his gaze.
"Remember me why did we let her come with us" Nakamaru asked looking at the two of them taking a look at Fu and Hinata laughing.
XxX Flash back ~half a month before~ XxX
"So we are going to Wind Counrty?" asked Naruto to Itachi.
"Yes we are going to try and enlist you guys there, as you know the chunin exams are almost there by this time and I would like you guys to take the test to see how much you two have progressed" Said Itachi.
"Fine by me" answered Naruto he was going to ask something again when a girl running through the forest knocked him out.
"Ow damn that hurts" said the girl.
"Well you don't have soft head you know" answered Naruto.
Itachi looked at the girl and saw a few bruises on her arms, and a Taki headband with a scar on it.
"You are from Taki-gakure right? Are you a missing nin?" asked Itachi. The girl quickly stood up and was about to run but then a Taki-nin landed near them
"Hey there you are monster, don't worry I will let your death be quick" said the man while taking out a kunai.
Naruto heard the words of the man and was instantly mad remembering what he went through at his old village. The man was about to kill the girl when a blue sphere of energy impacted on the man sending him flying.
Itachi went to check if he was still alive but there was not much left of the former human.
"Why did you protect me? You heard him I'm a monster" Said Fu with tears in her eyes.
"Because people used to tell me something like that before without even knowing why" Answered Naruto and Fu's eyes widened.
"thank you" Said Fu and she was about to walk away when Hinata stopped her.
"Why don't you come with us? You don't have a place to stay right? And we are all the same because we are all hated at our villages" said Hinata while taking her hand.
"Are you sure? Is ok?" asked Fu a bit afraid. She didn't wanted to be alone.
"Of course I'm sure it is ok right Naruto-kun, Itachi nii-san?" Naruto just nodded.
"If Ran is going to take care of her then I don't have a problem either" said Itachi and Nakamaru just shrugged
Ran that had been quiet the whole time finally said "Yeah and it would be great to have another girl in the team" said Ran.
"ok then, I would love to follow you guys" said Fu and they walked away
"But first we need to do something with your hair" said Ran making the girls laugh.
Behind the guys just watched the whole thing. "This is going to be interesting" Said Itachi and the others just nodded.
XxX End of Flashback XxX
"I still don't understand why that ninja called her monster but I know that she is a nice person" Said Naruto looking at the girls.
"Yes and that same can be said for you Naruto" Said Nakamaru and Itachi just nodded.
Fu was wearing a navy blue T-shirt with a navy blue skirt and black shorts under them (No peeking) she had her kunai pouch at her hips and the right leg and a senbon holder at her right arm, her hair was short (A/N: I'm not very good with description as I tend to be very detailed but just imagine her with Eureka's style from Eureka 7).
After a while they reached Suna and were stopped by two guards.
"Identify yourself!" Said Baki
"My name is Itachi Uchiha and these are my companions, I would like a meeting with the Kazekage to offer my services as a jounin." Said Itachi.
The guards recognized him and one of them was about to attack when another team reached Suna, they were three genins and a jounin.
"Baki-san please help us here" said one of the guards "This is Itachi Uchiha and is a wanted ninja for Konoha" said the other.
Baki looked at Itachi and then to the guards, "No let them pass, the Kazekage would be glad to know them better and believe me, there is no way these guys are a thread to this village" said Baki walking away of the two guards.
Itachi walked away following Baki. One of the genins looked at Naruto and Fu, he looked like he hadn't sleep at all in his entire life.
Naruto was amazed by the place; he wondered how did people get used to live in the desert.
Hinata and Fu were looking around too but Hinata was mostly looking at Naruto. Fu saw this and decided to make a little joke.
"Is cute isn't it?" Asked Fu while smirking but Hinata was too busy contemplating Naruto to notice.
"Yeah very" Said Hinata.
"Hey Naruto watch out! Hinata already took a liking to your butt and says it is cute!" yelled Fu embarrassing the two.
It was like a hobby to embarrass them. Sometimes she found their relationship kind of weird, sometimes they would talk like the best friends ever, and other times they would flirt unconsciously with each other, it was kind of annoying but it made it even more fun to tease them.
And sometimes Itachi would join in to the fun "Hinata-chan please don't stare to Naruto's butt too much, we need you focus in case something happens"
Hinata was totally red but said nothing and just activated her byakugan.
"Hinata don't use you byakugan to peek through his clothes, my god you are innocent but sometimes you are a pervert too." Said Fu laughing hard.
Itachi couldn't hold it anymore and started to laugh too, Nakamaru was just smirking and Ran had an amused look.
Naruto got tired of this and started to yell curses at them while chasing them around and Hinata just de-activated her byakugan and looked to the ground.
The red head genin couldn't understand anything at all. So he decided it was better to know why these two that were so much like him could laugh like that…so carefree.
While walking to the Kazekage's mansion Naruto noticed that everyone in the village was glaring at the red headed boy and even heard someone murmuring something between monster and demon.
This was too familiar to Naruto and he started to believe that maybe each village had a rule to make one kid miserable through his whole life.
Naruto walked beside the boy "Hi there, what is your name?" asked Naruto and noticed the look on the boy's face, it was a face full of surprise.
"I'm Gaara…Sabaku no Gaara" answered the boy. He knew it was better to not tell nothing and just kill him but he was curious too as he wanted to know why this Naruto guy could smile like he did when he was the same as him.
"Be careful kid, this guy is not just another Jinchuriki, he has the king Kyubi inside of him. To be more precise if you were to anger him you would probably die in a second" Said Shukaku.
Gaara nodded. "My name is Fu! And this is Hinata, and that is Ran and that is Itachi and the other guy is Nakamaru, nice to meet ya" said the green haired girl.
Gaara looked at her surprised that she would get so close without hesitating even a second.
"Kid I don't know if you have a very bad luck but this girl has the Nanabi inside of her, she is not as powerful as Kyubi-sama but she is a lot stronger than me got it? It would be better to be in their good side" Once again Shukaku warned his vessel.
While this happened the other teammates couldn't believe it, these guys were talking with their brother as if nothing bad would happen and Gaara was not even trying to kill them.
"Hi guys my name is Temari and this geisha is my brother Kankuro, but don't get confused by his appearance, he just likes to use my makeup" sai the girl on the Suna team.
"Is not makeup is battle paint, is used as camo get it? And besides the girls like men who wears camo" yelled Kankuro
Hinata and Fu looked at each other and then at Ran, the three of them nodded and looked at Kankuro "you look creepy" said Fu, Please don't get near me" said Hinata while going to hide behind Naruto (who was smirking at this) "Are you sure you are not a pervert? You already gave the creeps to my poor Hinata and Fu" said Ran while covering his hand as if she was about to puke.
"I'm not a creep! I'm just different!" yelled Kankuro and then ran away crying totally embarrassed.
The four girls just shared a high five. Temari already liked these girls, it was hard to get Kunoichi friends about her age since usually the other were just fan-girls that didn't take the job seriously.
xX At the Kazekage Mansion Xx
"I will go to report to the Kazekage and tell him that you guys want to speak with him I think he would be pleased to know that some ex-shinobi from the leaf wants to join our ranks" Said Baki and then walked to the Kazekage's office.
Gaara couldn't contain his curious side and decided to ask Naruto what he had wanted to ask.
"Hey Naruto, how is it that you can smile so carefree like that?" asked Gaara making the boy look at him puzzled and surprised at the same time.
"I mean, you are exactly like me but you are always smiling" Naruto nodded at this
"Why do you say that I'm exactly like you? Fu was mistreated in her village too" said Naruto.
Naruto was not stupid, he had seen the glares of the villagers and they were the same as the ones he received at Konoha but he wanted to know if Gaara had some kind of answer as to why he was hated.
"Yes but is for the same reason as both of us, we are al Jinchuriki" At this Itachi perked up and quickly tried to grab Gaara but a wall of sand blocked his way and trapped him.
Naruto saw this and looked at Gaara. He knew that Itachi would not die because if the red headed wanted he would have killed him already.
"What is a Jinchuriky, what do you know that I don't" asked Naruto but the one that answered was not Gaara.
"Is the vessel of one of the nine tailed beasts and is said that whoever containing the demon is the demon itself" Answered Fu.
"How.."
"…do I know this? Because I am the jinchuriki of the Nanabi" Fu had a sad look in her face.
"But the Kyubi was killed by the Fourth Hokage, there is no way Naruto-kun can be the demon!" Yelled Hinata.
"A demon can't be killed by a human, the only way to stop him is by sealing him inside a container, and the seal that the Fourth used needed a newborn to succeed, and that is why he sealed the Kyubi in his own son…You Naruto" Said Itachi while the sand around him dispersed.
What will Naruto do? How will he take the news? Find it out in the next chapter!
