Chapter 11: One Long Week

* Couple Days Later *

Naruto slightly groaned as he put his arrow in his quiver and after that chuckled hearing " You ok?" Naruto turned to look at Hinata and nodded but also was confused why his face slightly heated up and his heart beat faster. Naruto just smiled then turned thinking of the dream he had two days ago before waking up. Naruto had no idea why he wanted to kiss Hinata, hold her and never want to leave her side. Naruto shook his head, getting the thoughts out of his head, then he looked at Hinata, the sun going down and said " Why don't you head back? I need to do something, then I'll be back and before you ask I'll be fine." Naruto saw Hinata just nod nervously then heard " Ok." Naruto saw Hinata walk off so after seeing her out of sight he turned back. Naruto was about to practice shooting again when he saw mist form around him and heard " I can't believe another demon is alive." Naruto chuckled channeling Kyuubi's chakra and said " Not exactly."

Naruto saw Zabuza appear so he said " Zabuza Momochi." Naruto saw Zabuza nod and walk and then heard " If you're not a demon then why do you have the power of one?" Naruto chuckled and said " Sorry I must introduce myself, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, holder of the Kyuubi." Naruto saw Zabuza nod and heard " So Kyuubi you're still alive." Naruto heard a chuckle in head then heard Zabuza say " So let me guess you think you could stop me from holding him." Naruto nodded and said " Yea but I think I don't need it. As I remember I did some pretty decent damage to you without using his power." Naruto saw Zabuza just nod so he said " If you're wondering I know almost everything and also don't use the Kyuubi's power unless I have no choice." Naruto saw Zabuza nod again and heard " I believe you so I give you this warning leave and I won't hurt anyone." Naruto chuckled and then said " Right." Naruto saw Zabuza sigh then heard " Come on kid." Naruto chuckled then said " Nice partner he was at the first battle. Let me guess, similar to my age, sixteen at most powerful has a bloodline." Naruto saw Zabuza surprised so he said " I have great stealth myself and whoever this person is is good Zabuza but I still sense them." Naruto saw Zabuza chuckle and heard " Shit kid you impress me."

Naruto chuckled then said " Not just that Zabuza I can use demon ninjutsu and have created my own." Naruto saw Zabuza impressed again so he said " This is my warning you leave or fight a Strong Genin with power for the Kyuubi that he willing lets me use but also someone who could do Demon ninjutsu." Naruto heard a chuckle from Zabuza so he said " I also have another offer." Naruto saw Zabuza nod so he said " Let me talk to the Hokage I might convince him to let you join the village. I want to offer homes to demons including you and that is my goal so what do you say." Naruto heard a chuckle from Zabuza and said " I like to see that but it won't happen." Naruto chuckled and said " A Genin shouldn't be able to cut one of the seven swordsmen of the mist but I put three arrows into you." Naruto heard a chuckle from Zabuza and heard " True." Naruto saw Zabuza step back in the mist and heard " You're going to have to kill me for that to happen." Naruto sighed and said " I met my first Demon and they want me to kill them, that's great. Naruto then did hand signs and said " Wind Style Great Breakthrough." Naruto let out a huge gust of wind blowing away the mist seeing no one. Naruto sighed then turned and headed back to the house.

* Next Day *

Naruto was standing at the bridge with his team and Tuzna. He was sitting on the bridge with a rubber mat in front of him with ten arrows on them. These arrows had a black shaft with a silver arrow head with the edge white and two of the three fletchlings are orange with the last one white. Naruto looked at his poison tipped arrows. The poison on the tips of the arrow was fast working poison that will knock out any one. Naruto watched his arrows when he saw a person in the corner of his eye so he turned his head to see a person can't tell the gender due to the face looking like it could be both and no shape. Naruto looked at the person seeing them crouch and start picking the nearby plants. Naruto stood up and walked over to the person and said " I'm going to need you to leave." Naruto saw the person look up and heard " Sorry but why?"

Naruto saw the person stand up then heard " My name is Haku and if you're wondering I'm a boy." Naruto nodded and said " Thanks actually but I still need you to leave. We are protecting our client and we would like no risks." Naruto saw Haku shrug and heard " I just wanted to pick plants, I'm no ninja." Naruto chuckled and leaned in and said " You have the same chakra signature from the last two times you were hiding just in case you need to help Zabuza and I've sensed you've been around since you arrived three minutes ago." Naruto looked at the face, saw it nod and heard " I understand." Naruto nodded then saw Haku turn and leave. Naruto turned and walked up to the bridge and after a couple of getting to his arrows he sat back down just to hear " What was that about?" Naruot looked at Hinata and said " Zabuza tried to spy on us and it failed. I sensed the same chakra when I fought Zabuza and he has the exact same chakra signature." Naruto saw Hinata nod then heard " Ok." Naruto smiled then said " On the other hand how is it going for you?"

Naruto heard a chuckle from Hinata then heard " Bored nothing to do." Naruto nodded and said " Why don't you help? I mean you'll be training and if you walk under the bridge as well you increase chakra control and a chance for chakra capacity." Naruto saw Hinata nod and heard " Why am I not surprised you thought of that." Naruto chuckled, standing up grabbing his arrows to hear " Won't those just drip off your arrows over time?" Naruto shook his head then said " This poison hardens and will turn to liquid by the human body heat." Naruto saw Hinata nod then heard " And I assume the fletchlings let you identify them." Naruto nodded and said " Slightly more when I have to put my quiver together. I actually have these arrows slightly smaller like an eighth of an inch. I'm going to teach myself to recognize the size difference quickly." Naruto saw Hinata nodded so he smiled then said " Kurenai thought of it." Naruto saw Hinata nod again then walk away. Naruto smiled at Hinata as she walked away and as he looked at her back he mumbled " You're really pretty." Naruto just smiled now knowing this feeling and decided to ask Hinata on a date after this."

Hinata was leaning against the railing of the bridge watching Naruto shoot a random pattern of arrows with his eyes closed. Like two regular and three poisons then another regular arrow. As Naruto couldn't keep his mind off his feelings for Hinata, Hinata can't keep what she felt for Naruto. Hinata just smiled as she saw Naruto get the first part of the pattern he started. Hinata then looked at Kurenai then back at Naruto with just a smile and a slight blush. Just a month after being banished Hinata realized she had a crush on Naruto due to being put down by her father and that Naruto was put down by everyone beside Iruka. Hinata sighed, getting those thoughts out of her head and just looked at Naruto again. Hinata just smiled seeing Naruto finish his first full pattern right when she heard " You haven't taken your eyes off him."

Hinata looked at Kurenai and said " What?" Hinata saw Kurenai point at Naruto and heard " He's been doing that for half an hour and you've been watching him since he started not moving your eyes." Hinata blushed at that and then said " So I was just making sure he's ok?" Hinata saw Kurenai nod with a smirk so she said " I don't have a crush on him anymore. I used to and I know it was because of me being put down by my father with Naruto being put down by the other students at the academy." Hinata saw Kurenai nod then heard " Doesn't mean you have got a crush on him now. Hinata you two are close, really close and Hinata, Shikamaru found you laying on top of him." Hinata blushed at that just to feel a hand on her shoulder then heard " It's completely ok to like him and be comfortable around him like that. I used to do the same with my boyfriend's back then." Hinata nodded, then said " I'm his best friend, family and it's just weird to like him." Hinata heard a chuckle then heard " Iruka is a close friend to Anko before they started dating like you and Naruto are. For a year I listened to Anko talk about Iruka." Hianta chuckled but nodded and said " One day."

* Next Day *

Naruto was sitting at the table in Tuzna's house eating, ignoring Sasuke who was looking at him. Naruto looked up hearing some footsteps to see Tuzna's grandson walking down the stairs. Naruto saw the boy look up just to hear " Why are you even here?" Naruto just ignored the kid and went back to eating when he heard " Sasuke can beat whoever tries to hurt your grandfather." Naruto looked at Sakura and sighed just to hear " What's the point you'll just die." Naruto saw Kiba stand up and heard " I won't die." Naruto chuckled when he heard " What are you laughing at? My father is dead because he was stupid like all of you. You're an Uzumaki, a powerful clan. You're treated like a god from your home as my life is hard."

The next thing everyone saw was that the kid was extremely scared and had a cut on his cheek. Naruto looked at kid and said " Shut your fucking mouth." Naruto stood up and crouched in front of the kid then took out a kunai putting it to the kids cheeks and said " Stop complaining about your goddamn life because your father died for doing what he thought was right." Naruto chuckled rubbing it against the cheek and said " You know nothing about my fucking life, kid." Naruto looked at the kid then he lifted up the blade and said " Let me beat on you with fists, broken glass bottles, torches just to name a few." Naruto looked straight into the eye of the kid and said " I'll do that for eight and a half years everyday." Naruto then chuckled as he grabbed the kunai that cut the cheek and after pulling an Anko and licking the blade he said " When that's over you tell me my life is good." Naruto saw the kid step back so he said " Even if I did that you'd get off easy then what I went through." Naruto did not see the kid not so he smirked as he made his eyes change to the Kyuubi's as he said " Boo." Naruto saw the kid fall so Naruto stood up and started walking to the door when he saw a kunai to his throat and heard " Where do you think you're going?" Naruto looked at Kiba and just smirked changing his eyes to the Kyuubi's version then he grabbed Kiba's wrist twisting is arm behind him and slammed his head to the table and said " You even think about doing that again I'll rip your fucking arm off." Naruto saw Kiba smirking and heard " Try." Naruto twisted Kiba's arm slowly, putting pressure on his wrist to see his smirk disappear, then he saw pain on his face. Naruto didn't care and continued twisting when he heard Kiba's dog bark and after twisting it some more he heard Kurenai yell " That enough Naruto." Naruto released Kiba's arm and walked out of the house heading to a tree.

Hinata just looked at the door as it closed and after a couple of seconds she heard " That fucking demon." Hinata looked at Kiba and said " Shut up." Hinata looked at Tuzna, seeing him holding his grandson. Hinata just sighed then looked at Tuzna and said " Sorry for him his life isn't something he doesn't like talking about and when your grandson said Naruto is like a god it set him off." Hianta saw Tuzna nod and heard " He needed that." Hinata saw Tuzna walk his grandson up the stairs so she turned to go to the door just to hear what was that?" Hinata looked at Kakashi just to hear " I mean how he acted was weird." Hinata chuckled and said " Anko Mideratshi." Hinata saw Kakashi nod then heard " That makes a lot of sense." Hinata chuckled just to hear " That Demon and his lies." Hinata looked at Sakura and said " That wasn't a fucking lie that was him being really, really veg about what has happened to him. Something that he will never get over." Hinata saw Sakura chuckle and heard " That demon should kill himself." Hinata got angry, really angry but let out a breath and walked up to Sakura and smiled. Hinata looked at the woman just to kick her in the knee and as she fell to the ground Hinata brought her knee up which made contact to Sakura's face. Hinata looked at Tuzna's daughter and said " Sorry for this." Hinata saw the woman shake her head with a sad look then heard " It's fine really." Hinata nodded, then went outside to find Naruto.

Hinata looked around the training area that they train at hoping to find Naruto. Hinata looked around not seeing him so she turned around just to see him sit against a tree, his head against his knees and knees to his chest. Hinata walked to Naruto and then just sat next to him. Hinata saw Naruto look at her so she smiled just to hear " Leave me alone Hinata." Hinata shook her head then said " Naruto it's ok." Hinata saw Naruto shake his head and raise up his face bruises and a couple cuts on it." Hinata was in complete shock and quickly put her hand on Naruto's face and ran a finger over a cut which made Naruto flinch. Hinata was in complete confusion when she heard " I do it to myself." Hinata was in more shock but then heard " You know the saying, opening old wounds?" Hinata nodded then heard " To me it literally. I have nightmares and I started waking up with old wounds from attacks. I found out what I'm doing to myself by manipulating my chakra." Hinata just hugged Naruto and said " I should've known." Hinata heard a chuckle then said " You should know everything about me." Hinata nodded and said, " You have wise words." Hinata chuckled, then leaned against Naruto and said " Sorry."
