Chapter 5: Starting the search.
Hinata was walking down the streets of Konoha trying to figure out the best way to tell Tsunade what happened with Naruto.
As she walked she would occasionally look down at the headband that she was still carrying in her hand.
"I really hope that one day you can come back Naruto. I miss you so much already, and I'm worried about you." Hinata pushed Naruto's headband into her chest against her heart and closed her eyes as she thought this.
Hinata continued to walk for a few moments until she reached the Hokage's residence. She slowly walked through the building and up to Tsunade's office.
She stood outside the door for several moments before she built up enough courage to actually enter the room.
Hinata finally held her hand up and gently knocked on the doors.
"Come in!" Tsunade yelled from her desk inside the room.
Hinata hesitantly opened the doors. Her hands and legs were starting to shake as she was afraid Tsunade might get mad at her for letting Naruto remember.
She slowly walked up to Tsunade's desk and stopped when she got really close to it.
Tsunade could see that something was wrong with Hinata.
"Her face is puffy. Has she been crying?" Tsunade asked herself.
"Do you need something Hinata?" Tsunade asked politely.
Hinata didn't answer she just placed the headband on Tsunade's desk and stepped back a little.
Tsunade looked at the headband and got really confused.
"Hinata why did you just lay your headband on my desk?" Tsunade asked her.
"I-It's n-not mine. I-It's N-Naruto's…" Hinata said as she tried her best to hold back tears.
Tsunade's heart dropped.
"W-Where is he? I-Is he okay? What happened?" Tsunade asked out of panic.
"H-He r-remembered." Hinata said.
Tsunade instantly knew what the girl was talking about. Tsunade sighed and leaned back in her chair.
"He left the village didn't he?" Tsunade asked rhetorically.
Hinata's muscles twitched and a tear rolled down the side of her face as Tsunade asked that question.
Hinata's reaction to the question only further confirmed Tsunade's suspicion.
Tsunade shook her head back and forth as she sat in her office chair.
"It's all my fault. He's mad at me for lying to him." Tsunade thought to herself.
Hinata stood there with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"It's all my fault. He's mad at me for lying to him." Hinata said to herself.
After a moment Tsunade finally decided to do something about it.
"Shizune, can you please clear my schedule for the next few days?" Tsunade asked.
"O-Oh, umm, why Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked.
"Because me and Hinata are going to search for Naruto." Tsunade said.
Hinata stopped crying and looked at Tsunade as she stood up from her desk.
"B-But Lady Tsunade, who is going to run the village while you're away?" Shizune asked.
"I think you can handle it for little while can't you?" Tsunade asked with a slight grin on her face.
Shizune was afraid Tsunade was going to say that. She really didn't want to play Hokage for a few days but, O'well.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Shizune said as she rolled her eyes and sat down in Tsunade's office chair.
"Good." Tsunade said with a big fake grin on her face.
Tsunade turned around and started walking towards Hinata.
"Come on Hinata, we have a Naruto to find." Tsunade said.
"W-We're going to look for him right now? I-I need to go get some supplies first." Hinata said.
"Well then hurry up! You have 5 minutes starting now or else I leave without you." Tsunade said jokingly, she wouldn't really leave without Hinata, she knows how important this is to her.
Hinata nodded her head and quickly ran out the door of the office.
She ran down through the many streets of Konoha. She ran for a solid 2 minutes straight until she reached the Hyuga compound.
Hinata quickly ran into the compound and started grabbing things she thought she might need.
She grabbed a bag, some canisters of her signature healing ointment, Some gloves, Kunai, Shuriken, Food, you name it she put it in the bag and quickly ran out of the compound before anyone noticed her.
She kept sprinting and sprinting down the streets of Konoha until she reached the Hokage's residence once again.
She was greeted by Tsunade who was standing outside waiting for her arrival.
"Wow, that was actually pretty quick. I'm impressed." Tsunade said as she watched Hinata hunch over and start panting like crazy.
"Now let's get a move on." Tsunade said not giving any time for Hinata to rest.
Hinata straightened back up and started walking with Tsunade towards one of the gates of the village.
Just as they were about to leave Hinata realized that she almost forgot something and stopped dead in her tracks.
"I forgot something. Here, will you please hold this for a moment?" Hinata asked as she handed Tsunade the bag she was carrying.
Tsunade took the bag and watched as the small pale girl ran towards her residence again.
Tsunade then found herself getting curious about what exactly was in the bag. So she unzipped the bag and took a look inside.
"Oh Hinata, your organization skills need some work. I mean, a pair of gloves, really? What are you going to use those for?" Tsunade asked herself as she held the gloves up and looked at them for a moment before putting them back in the bag and zipping it back up.
Hinata rushed back into Tsunade's office and quickly grabbed the headband she had left on her desk. Shizune watched as she did this and smiled at the girl as she ran back out the door.
"Good luck! Be careful!" Shizune shouted to her, it was soon followed by an "I will!" coming from Hinata.
Hinata then ran back to Tsunade and put the headband in her bag.
"Are you ready to go now?" Tsunade asked.
Hinata nodded and the two of them headed of in search of Naruto.
Naruto was still asleep on the tree branch when he felt something like a stick poke him in the nose.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and saw three people standing in front of him.
Naruto blinked the sleep out of his eyes so he could see better, but once he did he noticed the the three people were completely naked!
Naruto quickly closed his eyes and placed his hand over his face so he couldn't see them anymore.
The people who were standing in front of him started laughing. Naruto could identify two males and a female just from the pitch of their laughter.
"It's so cute when a kid tries to keep their innocence even when they know they want to look, isn't that right kid." The female of the group said.
"No! It's not! What do you perverts want anyway?" Naruto asked them sounding very annoyed.
"Whoa, calm down kid! We just wanted to know which village you belong too. That's all." One of the males said.
"Are you stupid or are you just blind? You can clearly see that I'm from the leaf-" Naruto stopped talking once he realized his headband wasn't on his head anymore.
One of the three naked people picked Naruto up by his jacket and pushed him against the tree.
"Did you just call us stupid and blind you little runt?" The other male of the group said as he held him against the tree.
Naruto really wasn't in the mood for this.
"Yes I did. Now if I were you I'd let go of me before something bad happens." Naruto said as he kept his eyes closed.
"Ohhh, I think we might have fight on our hands ladies and gentleman." The female of the group said.
As the girl said this Naruto threw his hand up to hit the guy who was holding him against the tree but the man quickly grabbed Naruto's arm by wrapping his hand around his jacket.
"Trust me kid. You do NOT want to get under our skin. We have a pretty EXPLOSIVE anger." The male said making the other two nudists laugh.
Naruto didn't really care about what he said though, he was more concerned about how he was going to fight these guys with his eyes closed.
Naruto then quickly put his foot against the man's chest and kicked him off sending him into the other two naked people with a lot of force.
Almost as soon as one of the naked people touched one another they irrupted in a giant explosion sending fire and bodies flying in every direction.
Naruto got blown clean through the trunk of the tree and thrown into a different tree with enough force to make a Naruto shaped dent in it.
The three naked people got sent in all kinds of different directions. Some of them slammed into trees and some of them slammed into the ground.
The explosion that was released was so powerful that it shook the very ground all the way back at the leaf village. And a black smoke cloud was clearly visible in the sky a few thousand yards away from the village
Tsunade and Hinata looked at the smoke with worryful eyes.
"I don't have good feeling about that. Do you Hinata?" Tsunade asked as she looked down at the pale girl.
Hinata shook her head back and forth to insinuate that she felt the same about the situation.
"Come on, let's go check it out." Tsunade said as she started jumping across tree limbs at an alarmingly fast rate.
Hinata followed as close behind as she could, but it was a little hard to match Tsunade's speed with her bag of supplies weighing her down.
"I really hope that you're okay Naruto. We will find you soon. I promise." Hinata said to herself as worry filled her stomach.
Chapter 5: End
So I have to say I am a whole lot happier about this chapter than I was the last. I still like the last chapter but I feel as though I could have written it better, and I bet most of you agree.
So obviously there is going to be fight in the next chapter. If you're wondering why I made those 3 people naked, you'll find out in the next chapter. Promise.
Thanks to Magikiz2sick, Naruhinakiralacus, Saiyanvegeta1648, and kffhbleach9 for leaving some very helpful reviews.
Kffhbleach9, I actually really like that idea, you will probably see something similar happen now. (P.S. The story takes place a little bit before the first Chunin exams.) Thanks for giving me the idea. :)
Magikiz2sick, I will be sure to that with my chapters next time. Thanks for the help. :)
Naruhinakiralacus, I'm sorry that I made the last chapter so confusing, but I wanted Naruto dropping his headband to insinuate that he was mad at Tsunade as she knows how important that headband is to him. So by him leaving it, it shows he is upset with someone and Tsunade is the only one who lied to him, Hinata never had to lie to him. She just acted like it didn't happen. I hope I can make things clearer in the Future. :)
Saiyanvegeta1648, Thank you for your comment as well. ;)
And if you're wondering why I don't reply to reviews in the review section, it's simply because I find it to be more fun to reply this way. That's all.
Also Holy shit! This story is exploding. I just hit a 1,000 views yesterday and now I have 2,000! What the hell is happening?! Thank you all so much! See ya!
