Disclaimer: I own nothing! Now, I want you all to know something. For this fic I am considering moments from Rock Lee's spin-off series (except the last episode) to be cannon. Why? Because they are hilarious! Google Crunchyroll and look up Rock Lee on the site, you'll find it in like two minutes. So if you have a chance, watching Episode 9 where most of the moments I will be referencing are from will be helpful. Now, on with the fic!

~Team 8's S-ranked Secret!~

A crow flew by going "Caw! Caw!"

"And then I said to her-" said Kiba to Shino as they took a break from training on field three. When their peaceful conversation was rudely interrupted by a fanatic call of "Oi!"

Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru all sighed and sweat-dropped as they turned toward the quickly approaching cloud of dust they knew to be their loud and exuberant friend.

"There you guys are!" exclaimed Naruto as he gasped dramatically trying to catch his breath. "I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"Naruto, it shouldn't have been hard to find us," stated Shino calmly. "Why? Because-"

"Because we always train here you, baka!" yelled Kiba cutting off Shino's explanation. "Now, what the hell do you want?!"

"Arff!" barked Akamaru in support of his master's question.

"I- need- to ask you guys- a question!" gasped Naruto still trying to catch his breath.

"I... okay... what kinda question..." asked Kiba with a raised eyebrow to Shino, which he returned in kind. What on earth had Naruto so frazzled that he had run frantically around the village searching for them?

"Did you, know?" Naruto asked with almost a growl as he straightened and looked them in the eyes.

"Uh... know what, man?" questioned Kiba in return as he became even more confused.

Naruto then lunged forward and roughly grabbed him by the shoulders. This made Kiba jump a bit as Akamaru growl threateningly.

"Naruto! What the heck-"

"Did you know, Hinata was in love with me?" asked Naruto, dead serious as he stared Kiba down.

Shocked silence echoed across the open training grounds as only the wind dared make a sound.

The quiet was then shattered, by of all people, Shino.

"Who," said the Bug-user in the coldest voice Naruto had ever heard from him.

"What?" he asked, turning his gaze toward his usually quiet friend.

"Who-" said Shino as he grabbed Naruto by the front of his collar, "Told- You!"

"I-" squeaked out the blond, clearly stunned.

"Who, has betrayed us, Naruto!" demanded Shino as his grip on Naruto's shirt tightened.

Naruto started shaking, and nervously sweating. He had only ONCE heard Shino raise his voice in such a manner. And he was positively terrified to be on the receiving end.

"Erk!" croaked Naruto as Shino simply continued on. "You have been told the most closely guarded secret of the Allied Shinobi Force!"

"Wait, what?"

"Team 8's most secure S-rank secret!"

"Uh... Shino..."

"You will tell us who told you, Naruto," growled Shino angrily as his normally docile bugs suddenly swarmed about him in a furious storm of vengeance.

"Damn it, Naruto!" exclaimed Kiba as he suddenly snapped out of his shocked stupor. "You just had to poke the bee-hive!"

"But regardless, Shino's right," growled Kiba as he cracked his knuckles threateningly. "Spill it! NOW! Who the hell told you, and betrayed Hinata!"

"I- well, technically I figured it out by accidentally seeing Hinata's memories," admitted Naruto nervously, secretly hoping they wouldn't find out that Sakura had told him they knew.

Once again Team 8 froze in unified disbelief. Was... Naruto actually serious?! Kiba then violently shook his head as he once again regained consciousness.

"I, wait, what? When the hell did that happen?" questioned Kiba, still visibly stunned.

"O-on the Moon Mission, … you know the one we just came back from," answered Naruto with a bit of an embarrassed stutter.

And slowly, very slowly Shino released Naruto's collar and took a step back from his friend.

"I... see," whispered Shino as he still stared at Naruto, but thankfully his bugs had calmed down to a dull roar. "We did not get a chance to speak with Hinata last night after your team returned. She has been in the hospital with her father and sister since then..."

"Yeah, I kinda know that," confessed Naruto as he rubbed the back of his head. "Hinata said she was going to take Hanabi in to get checked out before we even knew about her father being hurt. I guess I should probably check to make sure we're still on for our date tonight, huh?"

All three members of Team 8 froze dramatically once again.

"Whoa! Whoa! Time out! Time out!" screeched Kiba as Akamaru whined in disbelief. "Let, me get this straight- you figured out that Hinata's been in love with you for like FOREVER, and now you're going out on a date?!"

"Hai..." answered Naruto shyly as he looked down at his feet.

"... You finally understand how you feel about her, don't you?" Shino asked insightfully.

"How... he feels about her?" questioned Kiba as he glanced expectantly at Shino. "He forgets she's even there half the damn time!"

"HEY!" growled out Naruto immediately, "Watch it, Kiba! I'm very well aware of what I put Hinata-chan through over the years! I- well... at least I am now. But- I well-"

"It has always been there, right below the surface," confirmed Shino softly. Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru whipped around and stared at the Bug-user in surprise. "You just simply didn't know what it was."

"Shino..." whispered Naruto, clearly stunned.

"Every time Hinata has been hurt, or in danger you react with more intensity than with any of your other friends. That is because-"

"-you love her back," finished Kiba in awe as Akamaru howled for joy.

"WOOT!" exclaimed Kiba as he leapt forward and gave Naruto a quick hug. He then moved aside to let Akamaru bowl Naruto over and start enthusiastically licking his face.

"GAHH! Kiba! Get your damn mutt off of me!" exclaimed Naruto as he tried to remove himself from Akamaru's furry clutches.

Kiba then shook his head in disbelief, and said teasingly, "Naruto, dude, forgive me saying this but, I'm totally not buying it..."

"Not buying, what?" asked Naruto with a confused blink as he was finally able to shove the mammoth dog off of his prone body.

"That you figured it out at all!" laughed Kiba wildly as Akamaru howled in delight. "I mean really, Naruto! For years, every time you've been around Hinata, she's turned tomato red and fainted!"

"Kiba," said Shino calmly, trying to interrupt his friend's speech, but Kiba just kept right on going.

"I mean, heck, we used to train with Neji's team from time to time to help her build up a resistance so she'd stop fainting around you!"

"Kiba..." said Shino warningly as his bugs once again stirred to life around his form.

"Oh, come on, Shino!" exclaimed Kiba indignantly, "Naruto couldn't even figure out that Hinata was freaking girl he saw naked in the waterfall!"

The second the word "waterfall" left Kiba's mouth, his hand clasped over it horrified.

"KIBA!" yelled Shino as his bugs instantly attacked, "You have revealed Team 8's second most secure S-rank secret!"

Kiba and Akamaru screamed bloody murder as the bugs swarmed, biting and stinging them with all their might; while Naruto just stood, as frozen as a statue, staring off into the distance.

"AKAMARU! DYNAMIC MARKING!" yelled Kiba as they ran past Naruto trying to evade the bugs.

The golden shower splashed Naruto in the face and he didn't even flinch.

Then as Shino sent his "CLOUD OF BITING SWARM!" attack at Kiba once again, a few of the bugs divided off and started buzzing around Naruto's head.

Still, he did not move.

And then slowly, very slowly the wheels in Naruto's head started to turn.

"Wait..." thought Naruto, "if Hinata was that ultra pretty girl I saw in the waterfall on the bug mission... then that would mean-"

Blood then violently shot out of Naruto's nose and he passed out. Because he finally figured out that he had seen Hinata water dancing naked.

To Be Continued...
