Go re-read the ending of Chapter 8, I messed up on some stuff and had to change the ending for that chapter. If I hadn't done it then this chapter wouldn't really make any sense. Sorry but please just go back and read the new ending before reading this chapter. I didn't add a whole lot, I just fixed a massive plot hole. That's all...

Chapter 10: A New Mission.

Hinata stepped out of Naruto's bathroom fully dressed after she finished taking her shower. Naruto looked at her and smiled as he asked her a question.

"Are you ready?" Naruto asked. Hinata nodded to Naruto and Naruto started walking to the front door of his house. Hinata followed close behind and watched as Naruto opened his door and stepped outside. Hinata followed and Naruto closed his door and locked it. He and Hinata then started walking towards the Hokage's residence.

Hinata walked behind Naruto for several minutes, much like she had done her whole life. Now that her and Naruto were together and she knew he loved her she thought she would be able to walk next to him without getting nervous but this wasn't the case. She desperately wanted to hold Naruto's hand so she could show everyone that Naruto was finally hers, but, for some reason her nervousness wouldn't let her.

Hinata slowly reached out her hand towards Naruto's hand and once her hand got close to his she pulled her hand back as she was afraid Naruto wouldn't like to hold hands with her. She knew Naruto loved her but, her nervousness was starting to her the best of her. She once again reached out for Naruto's hand and stopped when she got close to it.

"Come on Hinata just do it! What's the worst that could happen?" Hinata screamed to herself as a means to get her confidence up.

Hinata slowly got closer and closer to Naruto's hand until eventually she just threw her own hand into Naruto's. Hinata then gently grasped Naruto's palm. Naruto jumped a little as he wasn't expecting Hinata to randomly grab his hand like that but once he looked back at her he understood what she was trying to do.

Naruto looked at the nervous girl as her face was turning red and he watched as she turned her head away out of embarrassment. Naruto smiled a little as he thought this was really cute. He then felt Hinata pull her hand back but Naruto didn't release his grip as Hinata's pulling was very sudden and abrupt.

"I-I'm sorry!" Hinata exclaimed as she thought Naruto disliked the fact that she grabbed his hand.

The sudden force of Hinata pulling made Naruto stumble towards her. Naruto stopped stumbling once his body got very close to Hinata's. Hinata blushed a lot once she realized that she basically jerked Naruto over to her.

At first Naruto was a little nervous now that he was standing this close to Hinata. But he realized that Hinata said 'sorry' to him for some reason. Naruto then forgot about his nervousness.

"Sorry about what?" Naruto asked as he continued to stand super close to Hinata. Hinata heard him ask her this and she looked down to find that Naruto was still holding her hand.

"I-I don't k-know, I-I just thought t-that maybe y-you wouldn't w-want to h-hold hands with me." Hinata said as she got a seemingly sad expression on her face. Naruto saw and heard what she had said and his expression changed to one that expressed confusion.

Naruto tilted his head to look at more of Hinata's 'sad' face. "Hinata, why wouldn't I want to hold hands with you?" Naruto asked.

Hinata kept her head down slightly and simply shrugged her shoulders. Naruto saw this and tightened his grip around Hinata's hand. This made her look up at him for a moment. Naruto then made his move.

Naruto firmly planted his lips against Hinata's and passionately started kissing her. The suddenness of Naruto's actions stunned her for a moment but her body eventually made her return the kiss to Naruto. Naruto then broke from the kiss and moved his head close to her ear.

"Hinata, there is no one I would rather hold hands with other than you." Naruto whispered to her. Hinata felt chills swim down her spine and throughout her entire body as Naruto did this. Naruto then moved his head back and smiled at the blushing Hinata.

"N-Naruto just kissed me, in public!" Hinata screamed to herself as she couldn't believe Naruto would be that willing to show everyone that they were together. However, for a moment there Hinata completely forgot she was even outside. It was as if Naruto was completely distracting her from everything around her and for a moment there, it was just him and her, even though many villagers were still watching them.

Naruto started looking around and he saw that some of the villagers were looking at him and Hinata. Normally he wouldn't really care about how they looked at him but this time he got kind of sad as he noticed that some of the villagers were looking at Hinata with 'disgust' in their eyes. Naruto was actually expecting that to happen, but he was really hoping that it wouldn't, even though it did.

Naruto turned back to Hinata, who hadn't seemed to notice the villagers dirty glares yet and put a fake smile over his face. Naruto then turned around and started walking away. After just a split second Hinata felt something pull herself towards Naruto. Hinata then realized that Naruto was still holding her hand. Hinata blushed but she quickly tried to shorten the distance between herself and Naruto.

Naruto noticed that out of the corner of his eye he could see Hinata walking next to him with his hand firmly planted in hers. Naruto then gave her a very real smile as he was happy to see that Hinata finally had enough confidence to walk beside him. Hinata smiled back with her blush filled face and tightened her grip around Naruto's hand.

Just holding Naruto's hand made Hinata's soul feel amazing. She was impressed by how soft and smooth Naruto's hands were. Normally you would think of a Ninja's hands being tough and jagged due to all the calluses from their intense training, but Naruto had some of the softest hands she had ever felt. Not that she had ever held hands with anyone before but in her time she has shook hands with a few people and the softness of their hands had nothing on Naruto's.

Hinata and Naruto walked for a couple more minutes with their hands firmly intertwined with one another's until they reached the Hokage's residence. Hinata and Naruto then made there way to the Hokage's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Tsunade yelled from behind her desk inside the office. Naruto and Hinata both stepped into the room. Naruto then noticed that a man with solid white long hair was sitting in the chair to the right of the room facing Tsunade's desk. Naruto instantly figured out who it was and ran up to the man and wrapped his arms around him. Unfortunately though, he let go of Hinata's hand in order to do this.

"Jiraiya! You're back!" Naruto yelled in excitement. Jiraiya smiled and looked up at Tsunade as Naruto continued to hug him. Tsunade smiled a little as well as it was good to see Naruto get excited about something other than Ramen. After a moment Naruto finally let go of Jiraiya.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had to go peep on some naked girls for your book?" Naruto asked, making Jiraiya wave his hands back and forth in front of him.

"What? Who told you that? Boy, you have a really crazy imagination Naruto." Jiraiya said nervously as he could feel Tsunade's anger leaking out of her. Naruto got kind of confused and he was about to ask Jiraiya a question but Tsunade interrupted him.

"Jiraiya is here, because he needs to tighten that seal on your stomach." Tsunade said as she stood up. Naruto was confused again, he looked down and pulled his shirt and jacket up to look at his stomach only to find that there was still no seal to be found.

"What seal do you guys keep talking about? I don't see a seal on my stomach." Naruto said as he tried really hard to look at every part of his stomach which made Hinata giggle a little.

"That's because it only shows up if you direct enough Chakra to it." Jiraiya explained as he too stood up and placed his hand on Naruto's abdomen and sent Chakra to Naruto's stomach. Naruto felt his stomach start to tingle as the Chakra spread across it. Naruto was then very surprised to see that a strange looking black symbol appear on his stomach.

"Woah! That's cool!" Naruto shouted as Jiraiya removed his hand from Naruto's stomach.

"Well, it may look cool but that seal is what is keeping the Nine-Tailed fox inside you, and I fear that it is getting weak, so we need to tighten it up to make sure nothing bad happens okay Naruto?" Tsunade explained with a slight tinge of worry in her voice.

"O-Okay, that's fine with me but, will it hurt?" Naruto asked as he suddenly got kind of afraid.

Jiraiya started shaking his head. "No, it won't hurt as long as you stay very still." Jiraiya said not so reassuringly. Naruto sighed as he heard Jiraiya say this.

"So Naruto when you're ready I'm going to need you to take your shirt off and sit down in this chair for me." Tsunade said as she pointed to one of the guest chairs next to the wall at the side of the room.

Naruto took a moment. For some reason he felt really nervous about this, he felt like something bad was going to happen, but Naruto looked over and saw Hinata standing just a few feet away from him and he instantly started feeling better. Naruto took his shirt and jacket off and sat down in the chair.

Jiraiya then walked up to him. "Are you ready Naruto?" Jiraiya asked as he stood in front of the seated Naruto. Naruto took a few deep breaths and then stretched out his hand towards Hinata indicating that he wanted to hold her hand. Hinata walked forwards a little and gladly placed her hand in Naruto's.

Hinata was really glad that Naruto wanted to hold her hand, she was starting to worry about him for a moment but Naruto's embrace made her feel better and she hoped that she did the same for him. After Hinata grabbed Naruto's hand Naruto felt so much better, and he knew that he was ready for this. Naruto nodded to Jiraiya and gave him the okay to tighten the seal.

Jiraiya nodded back and held up his right hand. Naruto and Hinata watched as Jiraiya's fingertips started glowing a vibrant blue color. Jiraiya then quickly threw his hand into Naruto's stomach making sure to hit the exact right spots on Naruto's seal.

Naruto jerked forward in pain and unknowingly started squeezing Hinata's hand really hard. So hard in fact that Hinata could have sworn that one of her bones cracked under the pressure. But, Hinata kept her hand placed in Naruto's hand as she knew he needed her there now, more than ever.

Naruto's body kept jerking forward as if all of his stomach muscles were contracting all at once. After a moment Naruto straightened out his body and pushed his back against the back of the chair he was. Naruto felt his eyes start to roll into the back of his head as the pain seemed to increase.

*Flashback*

*WHAP*

Naruto leaned forward in pain as he just felt something hard throw itself into his stomach.

If Naruto didn't have tape over his mouth he was sure he would have coughed up blood from how hard he got hit. Naruto then heard a voice speak to him.

"You awake yet? You demon bitch!" The voice screamed out before slamming the same object into Naruto's stomach again causing him to groan loudly through the tape on his mouth.

*End Flashback*

Naruto's eyes rolled back to their normal position to reveal that they were red. Naruto started breathing heavily and he seemed to be panicking. Naruto quickly started looking around the room and moving around a lot. All the moving around caused Jiraiya to move his hand a little sending a massive amount of pain throughout Naruto's body.

Naruto's whole body jerked as if he had just been shocked by something. He quickly let go of Hinata's hand and grabbed Jiraiya's arm with a crippling amount of force. Jiraiya could feel his very bones start cracking underneath the immense pressure of the boy's grip. Jiraiya winced at the pain and leaned in to Naruto using his body weight to push his hand into Naruto's stomach just a little more before he quickly twisted his hand clockwise to tighten the seal.

So much pain ran through Naruto at this point that he started crying. Naruto was having so many flashbacks from when he was tortured that he didn't know what was real and what wasn't. Naruto eventually had enough of the pain and placed his foot on Jiraiya's chest and kicked him away with so much force that he slammed into the wall on the other side of the room leaving him stuck in the concrete wall.

Tsunade and Hinata both watched in horror as Naruto continued to thrash about out of pain. Hinata and Tsunade both could see that Naruto's eyes were red and his whiskers were thicker than normal. They also noticed that his teeth were very pointy and animal like.

"What? Did it not work? Why is the Nine-Tails Chakra still leaking out of him?" Tsunade asked herself as Naruto stood up out of the chair and screamed loudly at Jiraiya as tears continued to fall from his cheeks.

Hinata watched as Naruto freaked out. She noticed that he was crying and he seemed to be afraid of everyone to an extent. Hinata reached out her hand and gently touched Naruto on the shoulder.

Naruto turned to her with an expression that screamed fear and slapped her hand off of him as he backed away from her crying hysterically. Hinata winced at the massive amount of pain that was coming from her hand after Naruto did this. Naruto normally wouldn't be acting like this but right now he was stuck in his own head. Constantly being tortured over and over again as he kept having flashbacks.

After Naruto slapped Hinata's hand he sat down on the floor and continued to cry as he didn't know what to do anymore. He didn't know where he was or why he was there, all he knew is that he didn't want to be there anymore. Hinata watched as Naruto started to break down and she couldn't help but feel bad for him. She wanted to cry because seeing Naruto like this was really scary to her.

Hinata knew that she would have to hold her tears in though as now was the time for her to act. Hinata walked up to the crying Naruto, who was still on the floor, and knelt down beside him. She then reached over and gently pulled Naruto's face over so he would face her. Naruto had tears pouring out if his eyes and fear struck his face and this broke Hinata's heart. Hinata blushed a little as she knew that she could only do one thing that would calm Naruto down at this point.

Hinata grabbed both sides of Naruto's face and quickly pulled his head into hers making both of their lips touch. Hinata started passionately kissing Naruto as a means of calming him down which seemed to be working. Naruto still had his eyes open since he didn't realize what was happening at first.

Naruto then noticed that he felt something really soft and warm pressing against his lips. Naruto calmed down a little and looked to see what it was. He was surprised to see Hinata's blushing face pressed against his. Naruto then remembered where he was and why he was there and suddenly started getting very calm. The red in Naruto's eyes faded away slowly to reveal Naruto's vibrant blue eyes and his whiskers thinned back out as well.

Once Naruto realized that Hinata was kissing him he gladly started kissing her back. This made Hinata blush a little more as she could feel all the feelings that Naruto was currently feeling as he kissed her. All of the feelings were good feelings thankfully. She could feel a massive amount of love being put into the kiss by Naruto and even more passion. Hinata's mind started to go blank and she figured that this meant it was a good time to stop kissing him.

Hinata broke from the kiss slowly as she still wasn't very sure if Naruto had calmed down or not. Hinata moved her head back to look at Naruto's face and she could clearly see that the Nine-Tails Chakra was gone for the moment. Hinata and Naruto stared into each other's eyes for several moments.

Looking into Hinata eyes somehow calmed him down even more than the kiss did. Despite how many times Naruto had looked into Hinata's eyes he had never noticed just how beautiful they actually were. Her white eyes were so amazing and fascinating to Naruto that Naruto could sit there on the floor for the rest of his life as long as he had Hinata's eyes to look into.

"Okay that's enough you two, I'm gonna need your help getting Jiraiya out of this wall." Tsunade said as she broke the immersion Naruto and Hinata were in at the moment. Naruto and Hinata both stood up though as they figured she was right. They both then walked over to Jiraiya and grabbed a random body part and got ready to pull.

"One. Two. Three!" Tsunade counted down as they got ready to pull the white haired man out of the wall. Once she reached 3, all three of them started pulling on the man's body until he was no longer stuck in the wall. After Jiraiya was freed he took a moment before he stood up and spoke to Naruto.

"Jeez Naruto, do you think next time you can hold back a little?" Jiraiya asked jokingly.

"But there won't be next time right? That's why you tightened my seal so that wouldn't happen again?" Naruto asked as he hoped he didn't go through all that pain for nothing. Jiraiya sighed before he broke the bad news to everyone.

"Actually, who ever put that seal on you intended for the Nine-Tails Chakra to leak out. I can't tighten it because it can't be tightened." Jiraiya explained making everyone in the rooms blood turn cold.

"B-But why would someone put that seal on Naruto and want the Nine-Tails Chakra to escape?" Tsunade asked as she put emphasis on 'someone' almost as if she knew who put the seal on Naruto. Jiraiya crossed his arms and sat on Tsunade's desk.

"Maybe that someone wanted Naruto to learn how to control the Nine-Tails one day?" Jiraiya asked rhetorically as he knew that was the exact reason that the seal was on Naruto.

"Well, someone is an idiot!" Tsunade yelled as she started to get upset with Jiraiya for some reason. Jiraiya didn't say anything back as he wasn't sure if he agreed with what Tsunade said or not but Jiraiya got a good/bad idea to pop in his. Jiraiya turned to look at Tsunade while Naruto and Hinata stared at each other once again.

"What if I teach him how?" Jiraiya asked suddenly making Tsunade look at him like he was stupid.

"Teach him how to do what?" Tsunade asked.

"Teach him how to control the Nine-Tails." Jiraiya said with excitement in his voice. Saying this really made Tsunade look at him like he was stupid. In fact that was one of the stupidest things she had ever heard him say.

"Are you stupid? There is no way you would be able to teach Naruto how to control the Nine-Tails. It just can't be done. The Nine-Tails is too strong." Tsunade implied.

Jiraiya stopped to think about it for a moment before he spoke. He looked across the room at Naruto and Hinata and he remembered how easily Hinata seemed to calm Naruto down when he was freaking out.

"What she helps?" Jiraiya asked as he used his head to point at Hinata. Tsunade looked over at the Hyuga girl and at first she thought it was a pretty good idea but then she remembered about something.

"That won't work. She's a Hyuga and her clan will never give the okay to help with any kind of training that involves Naruto." Tsunade said as she put the thought of Hinata helping to rest. Or so she thought.

"That's true. But, what if they didn't know she was helping Naruto?" Jiraiya asked mischievously.

"You mean you want me to lie to one the most powerful clans in the village?" Tsunade asked as if that was a really bad idea. Jiraiya sighed as Tsunade missed the point he was trying to make.

"Look, everyone dislikes Naruto because they are scared of him. They are scared the Nine-Tails will one day just randomly bust out of Naruto and go on another rampage, but, if I can train him and teach him how to control it, then they won't have to be afraid anymore. They'll be safe." Jiraiya explained to Tsunade.

That was actually a really good idea. Tsunade was impressed. "Okay, but just what exactly do you plan on telling Hiashi?" Tsunade asked as she brought Hinata's father into the mix.

Jiraiya smiled. "It's not what I'm going to tell him, it's what you're going to tell him." Jiraiya said with a goofy looking smile.

Tsunade's eyes widened. "No, I'm not telling Hiashi anything. You're out of luck." Tsunade said as she suddenly got kind of afraid of Hiashi.

Jiraiya frowned. "Come on Tsunade, all I need you to do is tell him she is going on a fake mission, but make it seem real. That's all I'm asking." Jiraiya pleaded to her. Tsunade rolled her eyes.

"Fine, but if he gets mad at me I'm going to kick your ass into next week." Tsunade said with a very serious tone in her voice that made Jiraiya a little nervous.

"How long is this training going to take anyway?" Tsunade asked so she would know how long she would have to keep lying to Hiashi for.

"I don't know, it all depends on how long it takes Naruto to master the Nine-Tails Chakra. It could take weeks, months, maybe even years before we come back." Jiraiya explained.

"What? So you don't know? Then what am I supposed to tell Hiashi then?" Tsunade asked as this seemed to escalate into a worse and worse idea.

"Just tell him that you assigned Hinata a mission with an unknown time of completion. Tell him it will more than likely take more than a year or two before she is to return." Jiraiya said simply.

"What Genin goes a year long mission!?" Tsunade basically yelled at him making Hinata and Naruto look over at the two of them.

"Tsunade you're the Hokage whatever you say to Hiashi he will believe you. So just make a fake mission and then we're good to go." Jiraiya said reassuringly. Tsunade sighed and rolled her eyes again.

"Fine." Tsunade said as she crossed her arms and pouted a little as she knew she was going to have to do it either way.

Jiraiya smiled. "Good, now I want to be able within the next three days or so, is that okay?" Jiraiya asked. Tsunade nodded her head up and down while she still kept and 'annoyed' expression on her face.

"Good, I guess I better fill those two in on the situation then." Jiraiya said as he walked towards Naruto and Hinata.

"Hey, good news you two! All three of us are going on a mission!" Jiraiya said excitedly. Both of the Genin smiled back, especially Naruto who seemed like he was about to jump out his seat due to excitement.

"What are we going to do Jiraiya-sama?" Hinata asked.

"Me and you are going to help Naruto learn how to control the Nine-Tailed fox." Jiraiya explained making Naruto and Hinata's eyes grow large.

"We are?" Hinata asked excitedly.

"Yep, and you better start packing because we are going to be gone for a long time." Jiraiya said making Hinata's excitement go away for a moment.

"B-But what about my father? He wouldn't like me leaving with Naruto for a long time." Hinata explained. Jiraiya smiled at the nervous Hyuga girl.

"Don't worry, we already have it covered." Jiraiya replied as he thought about the hell Tsunade was about to have to go through in order to get Hiashi to agree to her terms.

Hinata smiled and looked over at Naruto and blushed as she realized that she was about to get to spend even more time with him. She was so happy that this was happening that her heart felt like it was going to explode. She was about to go on her first mission with Naruto and little did she know that this mission was going to take two and a half years to complete. And a lot can happen to couple in two and half years.

Chapter 10: End.

Thank you so much ausheine for telling me about the plot hole. I knew I was going to fuck something up along the way, but this is my first fanfic so I'm going to use that as my excuse. #NoShame. Also thank you for Reviewing! It means a lot to me. Also special thanks to toshiro12 for Reviewing and telling me I'm a good writer. That made me feel so good because, personally I think I'm pretty bad a writing and I think my plot hole mistake proved that but thanks anyway! You're the best!

Okay so I have decided not to end the story in this chapter as I have come to realize that ending the story here would leave a lot left unsolved, so thanks to who pointed that out to me. Also I'm sorry for any spelling mistakes, if you find one then you can go ahead and point it out to me so I can fix. I skimmed over the chapter a few times and didn't find too many of them but I'm sure a few still slipped by and if they did. sorry.

Also if you haven't noticed I just sent Hinata and Naruto out on the mission Naruto went on after Sasuke left the village. Mainly because I feel Naruto would get a lot stronger if Hinata was there to cheer him on. I also plan on Hinata getting a little stronger as well. And I do plan on them having sex during this two year period however that will not be the end of the story after that happens.

Sorry that this Chapter is kinda all over the place. I had to write it quickly as I'm a little stressed for time right now, but none the less I hope this chapter was good enough to satisfy your Fanfiction needs for now. Thank you for reading and I'll see you in the nest chapter.
