Hello my fans welcome to and another update story, as i said in my last story in the sage prophecy which is now updated i recently got a laptop and you know the rest anyways, anyways lets move forward to the story.
-I do not own Naruto-
Chapter 8 the confrontation. A beatdown in Tanzaku town. Confession
Naruto was up watching the window as Hinata was asleep. He had two days to work on his Rasengan with an element. His best chance would be wind but it wasn't gonna be easy. ( "what do you think jiji?") Naruto asked his grandfather.
("the yondaime was a genius coming up with the rasengan. Even i couldn't think of idea like that, it was amazing you finished it quick, but adding a element to a non jutsu is unheard of. I recommend you practice your wind control, the Fujin hammer you barely had pull off during the invasion.") advised Jin
Before they had talked more Naruto heard a knock on the door, "who is it?" asked Naruto
"Its Shizune, Tsunade's assistant, i wanted to talk to you." Shizune asked from the other side. Naruto took a moment and had got up answer the door. As he opened it Shizune was standing their with her pet pig.
"Come in." said Naruto as he let them in.
Closing the door Naruto took his seat, he offered Shizune a seat but she prefered to stand as she was holding Ton-Ton.
"I really need to talk to you Naruto-san. I'm sorry about Tsunade-sama attitude..you see she wasn't always like this.."
"You don't need to be apologizing Shizune-san...has your master always been like this?" asked Naruto
"You have to understand..Tsunade past." said Shizune
For the next five minutes Shizune had explained Naruto about Tsunade's past losing her brother in a trap by the enemy, her uncle which was Tsunade lover was killed in enemy crossfire, Tsunade had try to save him but it was too late and the supposed curse necklace.
Naruto was listening while he stayed quiet. When she was done explaining Naruto stood up and walk to the door, "i'm still gonna win that necklace." declared Naruto
"Have you not been listening me or are you really that selfish!" shouted Shizune.
Naruto stop. "you wouldn't understand." said Naruto as he open the door and left.
Shizune was left confused by his words.
"You shouldn't have said that." Said a voice behind Shizune as she turned around seeing Hinata sit up.
"Naruto-kun has never been one to be selfish. he always had put ahead his friends first before him, he has never given up on anyone. Naruto understands Tsunade pain of losing someone close to them, he recently found out his mother who is Tsunade-sama cousin died protecting him during the Kyuubi attack...but even then people had started to picked on him i don't know why but Naruto has dealt with that almost his whole life but...recently some events happened and the people finally saw who Naruto was... I have faith in him and you should too Shizune-san," Hinata said as she got her sandals and coat on and went to look for Naruto, leaving Shizune in her thoughts.
-at the bar-
Jiraiya and Tsunade sat down as they order some drinks.
"What were thinking teaching him that technique." demanded Tsunade.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Why..well for starters it's his birthright, second of all he needs to be ready." said Jiraiya
"Ready for what?" questioned Tsunade as she raised her own eyebrow
"Have you heard of the Akatsuki?" Jiraiya asked Tsunade.
She shakes her head negatively. "No i haven't, what's this got do with the Gaki." questioned Tsunade
"I'm getting to that, anyways the Akatsuki are not one to be taken lightly, their consist of 9 member who are S rank shinobi." Jiraiya told Tsunade which had surprised her. S rank Shinobi are considered very dangerous. Any chance of you claiming their bounty and making it back alive would be zero. She was on the list and so was Jiraiya even their former teammate Orochimaru.
"Not too long ago they had try to capture him yesterday." said Jiraiya.
"Who were the missing ninjas?" questioned Tsunade as Jiraiya face grimace.
"Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki." answered Jiraiya which more had surprised Tsunade.
"Why, do they want the Gaki anyways." tsunade asked as the waiter came back with a bottle and two small cups.
"Thank you." Jiraiya said as the man set the cups and sake down and took money as he bowed and left.
"anyways, it's not that they want Naruto...but of what's inside him." said Jiraiya said leaving Tsunade confused till she connected dots leaving her wide eye in shock but then look down.
"So he's the kyuubi Jinchuriki." Tsunade said as she took a drink of her Sake.
"He carries the same burden as your grandmother..and Kushina." added Jiraiya as he poured a glass for him and Tsunade.
"So what do these Akatsuki want with the Kyubi?" asked Tsunade as she took a drink.
"I'm not sure, but it's not just the Kyubi...they want all the Bijuu." said Jiraiya solemnly which brought a shock to Tsunade. "Thats insane..what do they want with them." questioned Tsunade as she was brought back from her shock.
"I don't know so far that's all the info i got even i haven't found anything on the leader." said Jiraiya as he drank his glass. "Anyways about what i teach my student is my business, besides i'm his godfather i promised Minato and kushina that i look after him." said Jiraiya.
Tsunade didn't question her teammate answer. She poured another drink for her and Jiraiya.
"What did Orochimaru really want?" question Jiraiya which had stop Tsunade from taking her drink, as she set her drink down and looked her teammate as she didn't speak for a few seconds
"...He wants me to fix his arm...in exchange he'll bring back Nawaki and Dan." Tsunade answered as she looked at her drink.
"Do you actually believe that he'll keep his words? This is Orochimaru were talking about someone that wants nothing more than to burn Konoha to ashes, we lost many of our Shinobi because of the Invasion...you know sensei still has hope for you..he needs you back." Jiraiya said
Tsunade didn't reply as she still looked at her glass.
Jiraiya look at Tsunade with his eyes narrow. "Tsunade i'm warning you..if you decide to go along with Orochimaru...i won't hesitate kill you." Jiraiya voice turned cold at his last five sentence which shocked Tsunade as she looked at her teammate.
Would Jiraiya really go that far if she did accept Orochimaru's offer. Jiraiya got up to leave as he walked he stopped by Tsunade. "Also sensei said he's not asking you..he's ordering you..and i'm sure he be would grieve forever if i told him i had no choice...please make the right decision Tsunade." with that said Jiraiya walked away leaving tsunade alone.
Tsunade had continue to look at her drink digesting Jiraiya words. She wanted to think her sensei was bluffing but she knew her sensei was not one to bluff, she had never thought the old man who she consider a grandfather would order her back. But then orochimaru off popped back again. She took the sake bottle as she took a long drink finishing the bottle as she left the bar.
-With Naruto-
Naruto was on ground as he struggle to get up. adding the element to rasengan was not going good, it seems whenever was close to finishing it seems to always blast him away. So far this was attempt five. Naruto again had concentrate to make a rasengan which was easy. Now came the tricky part Naruto had started to add his wind chakra, slowly the rasengan was turning into a light white blue Naruto almost had it. the keyword almost had it meaning it blasted him back again.
Naruto groaned in frustration as he was down on his back.
"i don't understand, every time i have it, it ends up blasting me away!" Naruto shouted as he was frustrated.
(don't strain your self Naruto, i think you should take a break. You have until tomorrow, so it'll give you time think about it, but for now you need rest.") Jin
Naruto knew he couldn't argue with that, he did need rest and to gather ideas.
"Naruto-kun." called a voice called out which made Naruto turn to see Hinata running to him.
"Are you alright?" asked Hinata in a worried tone as she helped Naruto suit up.
"Y-yeah, im was just working on my rasengan." said Naruto as he didn't notice his paw was starting to bleed and turn raw red. Hinata took notice of this.
"Naruto-kun your hand." gasped Hinata
Naruto was confused for a second until he looked at it at his hand.
"oh yeah..don't worry it'll heal up." Naruto waved it off.
Hinata grabbed Naruto's hand looking at it she went in her pouch and had pull out a small medicine bottle.
Hinata opened a bottle of her medicine cream as she scooped some up and rubbed it on Naruto's wound.
Naruto had looked at her as she was rubbing the medicine.
The night was perfect as there was a full moon, the stars were showing, nothing but the sound of nature. Now that Naruto had looked closely at Hinata, a moonlight had hit her giving her cream skin a beautiful glow which had Naruto blush. For the past three days during their travel he began starting to get close to Hinata, she was always helpful and nice...she even put her life in danger to protect him against some missing ninja that the perv mention. Naruto was scared for Hinata when she was hurt...but never again will he let that happen and that's a promise. Naruto vowed.
HInata was done. Naruto looked at his hand as it started to heal.
"Wow Hinata that medicine cream is good,did you make it?" asked Naruto, Hinata nodded shyly.
"Y-yes actually my kaa-san had taught me when i was young, we a-always collected herbs around my garden. One day I asked her if she can teach me to how to make medicine as i always wanted to help heal people since i was little. She then began teaching me about all kinds of herbs and what they can used for." Hinata explained. but frowned a little as thought of her late mother. Naruto saw this and held Hinata's hand.
"I'm sorry." said Naruto softly
Hinata looked at Naruto confused. "For what?" asked Hinata.
"For bringing up you mother up i forgot-
"No Naruto, it's okay..i know you didnt mean too, b-besides i know my kaa-san would want me to be happy." Hinata assured
The two shinobi's sat for a few minutes not saying anything till Hinata broke the silence. H-hows your rasengan training so far?" Asked Hinata.
"Well so far i'm making good process except the final step...but i think i might need to rest for now but i'm not giving cause tomorrow it will be finish," determined Naruto as he looked at the sky watching the stars.
Hinata knew Naruto was a person who always got back up and do it again, this is what Hinata liked about Naruto, his determination, his spirit of never giving up, this is what made Hinata stronger were those two things. Determination, never giving up. She had looked at the stars with him enjoying the moment.
A few minutes later Naruto spoke. "we should head back." Hinata had nod but she felt a weight on her hand. Looking down she see's Naruto Hand around hers.
Her face had became instantly red and she had try not to faint, this was not the time to faint, she had to stay conscious. If she wanted to be with Naruto she had to change. Hinata took a soft deep breathe.
Naruto while he was about to get up he felt his hand on something, as he looked he saw Hinata he realized.. He was holding Hinata's. His cheeks were red in embarrassment. How the hell did he not notice he was holding her hand. When Hinata had looked he quickly pulled back his hand back. "S-sorry Hinata." Naruto had apologize.
"I-its okay, Naruto-kun." said Hinata
Both had got up heading back to the hotel.
-the next day-
The sun was beginning to rise, soon the light had hit Naruto eyes which irritated him as he turned over and try to go back to sleep.
Naruto groaned as he was tired but this was his last day to complete the rasengan. He had sat up as he rubbed his eyes waking up. He looked to see Hinata still asleep, getting up quietly to change.
Few minutes later he came out wearing his chunin vest but over it he had wore a black leather jacket with a pair of black jeans. He slipped on his blue shinobi sandals as he was on his way out.
As he reached the handle of the door. "Naruto-kun you're leaving so soon?" asked a voice as turns and sees Hinata sitting up rubbing her eyes.
Naruto had sheepishly scratched his head."well today's my last day to finish my rasengan, so i figured i would start-
"You need to eat breakfast." Hinata cut off Naruto which surprised Naruto since Hinata was not one to cut people off
Before Naruto can answer his stomach growled which caused him to blush a little and Hinata quietly giggled
"M-maybe i am a bit hungry." admitted Naruto
"W-well we can go back to that restaurant. I'm sure they serve breakfast." suggested Hinata.
"Good idea Hinata." Naruto said which made her blush.
(five minutes later)
Naruto and Hinata left the hotel and were on their way to the restaurant.
As they walked three kids around around eleven were paying an older teen along with six more teens who wore raggy white pants with a no sleeve dirty white button shirt.
"Heyy what's this you holding out on us?" demanded the teen as he pinched and pulled the boy's cheek hard.
"Ooow thats all i got i swear." the teen cried out.
The older boy was gonna say something till he spotted two people who were walking by, the little kid didn't like the look on the teens faces.
The teen looked at the boy. "What you doing standing around go one." the teen shoved the boy towards the two people.
The kid was walking normally towards the two. As he was close he took off running snatching a pouch from one of the them, before he can continue to run a chain wrapped around his wrist which surprised the boy as he was pulled towards the two.
(i forgot about Kushina's chakra chains bloodline which Naruto will have so.)
The boy was now in front of Naruto and Hinata.
As the chains unwrapped. Hinata had bent down to look at the boy. "May i have my pouch back please." Hinata asked politely.
The boy looked down in shame as he handed Hinata the pouch back "i'm sorry miss." apologized the boy.
Hinata smiled. "It's alright."
"But you know stealing is wrong." frowned Naruto
Before the boy could reply the group of teens went up to them.
"And what's wrong with stealing huh?" questioned the teen who was with his three buds while the other three were behind.
Naruto knew what be coming as did Hinata.
"Do i have to show you?" asked Naruto
One of the teens behind were gonna attack but being quick Hinata blocked the attack and had disable the boy's arm as she launched a palm attack to the teen as he was launched back to the other two knocking them over.
Before the teen can react. Naruto launched a front kick to the teen making him launched back toward the other two. One of them had dodged it while his buddy got hit.
The teen ran towards Naruto as he pulled out a long chained whipped out as it wrapped around the teens ankle yanking him forward making the teen drop on his back hard.
The two teen had recovered and and went to attack, Hinata saw the knives and as they were gonna stab she grabbed both of their wrist and pulled them forward and had hit them with a palm strike to the stomach knocking the air out of them.
One of the teen had got up and pulled his knife out but Naruto chained wrapped around the teens hand and was yanked towards Naruto who then kicked him in the chin knocking him out.
The last teen was in pain ashe was holding his chest as he couldn't get up. Naruto walked up to the him and had bent down and took a pouch from him.
Tossing over the pouch the the little boy who caught it was still in awe of what he had witness.
Naruto grinned at the boy as he left back towards Hinata who had waited for Naruto as they left leaving boys groaning in pain.
The boy was looking at the two leave, (" who were those people?") the boy wonder as he looked at the pouch and ran back to his friends they're not gonna believe this.
(few hours later)
Naruto and Hinata had left the restaurant hours ago and were walking around town while Naruto was explaining Hinata about the rasengan.
The sounds of foot was approaching behind them.
As they turned around they saw same teens but with a older man who had a tied up ponytail wearing tan baggy pants with a long sleeve button up shirt. He had facial hair from side to side but had also wielded a staff.
"That's him." shouted one of the teens who pointed at Naruto
The man slapped the teen in the face. "He's just a kid, you let him beat you." the man said in anger as he looked at the teen who had looked down embarrassed
The man turned and looked at Naruto. "Boy i don't know who you think you are but i could care less about these little shits.. But touching my money was the biggest mistake you made." the man said to Naruto who then twirled his staff and charged at Naruto.
"Hinata get back." Naruto told Hinata as she backed away.
The man charged strikes forward to Naruto who had dodge the attacks but the man changed and attack lower which had made Naruto flip backwards back to get distance. But the man had jumped towards Naruto and spun around Naruto rolled out of the way as the staff connected the ground hard.
Naruto unleashed his chain as the man twirled his staff towards him. Naruto started to run as the man was chasing him but Naruto had jumped turned his body as he whipped the man's face with his chain face leaving a bruise which hurt him as he backed away.
Naruto had then start whipping the guys feets repeatedly which had made him run backwards but the chain was again whipped in his face which made the bruise even worse.
Getting angry the man swung the staff which Naruto blocked and caught as he wrapped his chain around the staff pulling the man close as Naruto gave multiple kicks to the man's abdomen forcing the man to let go as he wobbled back.
Taking the chance Naruto ran towards the guy as he jumped and landed on guys shoulders with his knees. Naruto began throwing punch after punch which brought the guy down on his back.
The Man shoved Naruto with his foot as he then went to get his staff but before that could happen something wrapped around the man as he was hoisted up high as he he screamed
"I leave you alone with your girlfriend and you're already fighting." a voice said above as everyone look above to see Jiraiya on his Toad.
Naruto scratched his head as Hinata helped him up. "Well it's not my fault, this jerk seem to have a problem with me." Naruto pointed at the man.
Jiraiya didn't need to know as he witness the whole thing. (it seems he has inherited his mother's bloodline, though Kushina said their was small chance he would inherit it since she said it's very rare..") Jiraiya thinking.
"Well i'll take of this." said Jiraiya as the man hanging had gulped.
"Hey brats come get me." shouted the man as he turned his head only to see his followers gone.
"Alright Ero-sennin, come on Hinata." Naruto leaded as Hinata followed.
As Jiraiya was seeing them off he turned and looked at the guy.
"Now let's have a little chat." said Jiraiya as the man gulped again.
-With Naruto and Hinata few hours later-
Naruto was done practicing his wind training as Hinata also finished her training from a scroll that was left from her mother.
Naruto was demonstrating to Hinata of what he had so far for his wind rasengan and as before it exploded as he almost had it which made him flew back on the ground as Hinata helped him up.
"See i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I almost seem to have it but i'm doing something wrong at the end." Naruto explained to Hinata.
Hinata had recall the first and second step he did and the third step it was a difficult to mold out the chakra. Naruto seem to have the right idea so far.
"N-naruto-kun try again making a normal rasengan." Hinata asked
Naruto was confused but did what she said. The blue ball started to form. Hinata activated her Byakugan.
"Now try to add you element." hinata told Naruto which complied and started to pump his element in.
"Too much." Hinata said. Which Naruto decreased.
"Okay Naruto-kun a little more." instructed Hinata.
Naruto had concentrated as he closed his eyes and felt his felt his chakra turn light. Soon the rasengan started to turn sky white blue.
"You got it Naruto-kun." Hinata said excitedly as Naruto open his eyes and looked at a target as he spotted a boulder he rushed to it, as he made contact with the boulder it started to drill and shred in deep.
As Naruto had stop he had backed up breathing hard as he fell on his butt.
"Wow...that was awesome." Naruto cheered as he got up but almost fell as Hinata caught him and set him down.
"T-that was great Naruto-kun." Hinata said to Naruto as he rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"Yeah but i couldn't done it without you thank you so much Hinata." Naruto said as he hugged her which was unexpected for Hinata and Naruto didn't realize it as he pulled back but then looked at her.. He never knew Hinata had beautiful eyes now that he looked at her closely. She was really cute with long hair too. Naruto couldn't stop thinking of her last night. After only a couple days he started to have feeling for her..Sakura was a different story he knew he loved Sakura but not romantically but more like a sister.
Hinata was alway nice to him, she even had cheered for him when he fought Neji,
Hinata had looked at Naruto silver blueish eyes. She would do anything to protect Naruto. He had help Neji through darkness, having her father opening up to her. She never felt more happy as she felt like her family was back like so long ago..she can never repay Naruto for what he has done for her.
Naruto brung Hinata closer as he leaned in and gave Hinata a soft kiss and pulled back but Hinata kissed back, Naruto then brung her close as he turned her and leaned her down as he leaned in giving a big kiss to Hinata which started to turn to a makeout.
Few seconds later they had separate and both had embraced each other.
Soon the sun started to go down. As Hinata snuggled with Naruto relaxing.
"We should head back it's getting late." suggested Naruto.
Hinata wanted to protest as she didn't want this day to end. "I'm afraid when i wake up tomorrow it'll be a dream." softly Hinata said.
"I promise you when you wake up it'll be real and when i show Tsunade the rasengan and we get back to Konoha... will have a date." Naruto said which Hinata sat up as she looked at him.
"W-what about my tou-san?" asked Hinata, she knew her tou-san didn't hate Naruto but dating was something never brought up.
"Ill talk to him," said Naruto which did not say much for Hinata but she trusted Naruto.
Naruto had got up and helped Hinata up as they looked at eachother and smiled, walking back to the hotel holding hands.
