Hey, hey!

Slight cliff hanger last chapter, but more on it this chapter.

It's a fight this chapter. Just to let you know. Just tussling.

WARNING: Kissing, Making out in this chapter. That will be all. Nothing more.

Enjoy the chapter!

"Don't be stupid."

Sasuke frowned as he looked at Naruto, who rolled his eyes and looked as if he was about to walk away from Sasuke. "Tsk, whatever. I should have known."

Sasuke growled at the insinuation that Naruto was comparing him to the other people in the village. Like he wasn't important to Sasuke or something. Sasuke looked around the streets and saw that the afternoon rush was over and the night owls were starting to roam the street. He yoked Naruto up by the arm and signaled for Hinata to follow him into the trees.

The three disappeared from sight. Sasuke had a strong hold on Naruto, who was giving Sasuke a dull look. Why was he doing this if he wasn't willing to go the extra mile and leave with him?

Once they were comfortably alone Sasuke released Naruto and almost threw him into a tree. "Don't you ever compare me to those people. I get you're upset. You have the right to be, but don't do that." Sasuke was giving Naruto a heated look, because that look Naruto gave him earlier really hurt Sasuke.

Naruto had no clue how much Sasuke was trying to change himself for them.

Naruto gave Sasuke a menacing look. They were getting older now. Sasuke would be 15 soon, but Naruto was getting height on him as well. The two were now the same height and as they aged Sasuke took more of a slimming look and Naruto a solid one.

Naruto could hold his own against Sasuke just fine now. He was keeping up with Sasuke in training sessions just fine now compared to the academy. Naruto could now back up all the shit he talked.

He didn't care about a stupid Sharingan. He didn't care if Sasuke came from the 'Uchiha' clan. Who fucking cared about a stuck up, fancy ass, rich clan anyways. "Fuck you teme." Naruto turned around to walk away, but Sasuke snatched his arm again.

This time Naruto reacted to Sasuke and quickly snatched his arm away and pushed Sasuke. Naruto swung immediately after and made contact with Sasuke's face. Right on his right cheek.

"Naruto!" Hinata looked at the two in shock. "Please STOP IT." She whispered viciously at the two as Sasuke quickly reacted and the two started to fight.

This only made Naruto angrier. She was taking Sasuke's side. Naruto always knew Sasuke was going to get what he wanted. That Sasuke was going to take Hinata away from him because Sasuke ALWAYS got what Sasuke wanted. Sasuke didn't care if Naruto had nothing. He was going to take everything Naruto had, and Hinata was Naruto's everything.

Naruto didn't want to talk. He didn't want to listen. He just wanted to pound Sasuke's face in.

Sasuke punched Naruto in the gut and punched him in the face with his other hand. A two-piece swift combo that Naruto couldn't deflect in time.

Naruto seemed to shrug off the hits. Being engulfed in rage and adrenaline. A menacing smile on his face. "Well, me and you both know you can't win teme. If I grow tired. That fucking fox will tear your head off and I'll let it." Naruto kneed Sasuke in the stomach just as hard and tackled him to the ground.

Hinata watched the two and had no clue what to do. How to stop them. She'd walk up close to them just for either Naruto or Sasuke to push her away. Both boys too angry to think straight.

Sasuke has been nothing but patient with Naruto. He slowed his pace just so Naruto could catch up and understand. He patiently took in Naruto's loud and hyper behavior and helped mold it into something worth wild. Just for this fucking prick to TURN on him. HIM!? One of the people that's had his back the whole time.

Oh. Sasuke was seeing red right now.

He got a solid clean hit on Naruto's nose and while Naruto was a bit loopy from the hit, Sasuke pushed him to stay on the ground as Sasuke pounced up and kicked Naruto right on his stomach. Hoping to entice the demon fox to come out. "You ungrateful, IDIOT!"

Being called an idiot immediately triggered Naruto and he used all his strength to spring up and tackle Sasuke midsection to the ground and on his back. Knocking the wind out of Sasuke.

Sasuke had no clue when Naruto had gotten this strength. This was all Naruto too. No evidence that the fox was feeding his chakra. Naruto was all out physically stronger than Sasuke now.

Sasuke didn't know whether to be proud or jealous at discovering this. In this moment, he was jealous.

Finally having enough of the two making one another faces a punching bag, Hinata wrapped Naruto around the neck in a chokehold. Naruto was currently on top of Sasuke and even though Sasuke was guarding his face from Naruto's current hits. Eventually Naruto was gonna break the guard and get solid hits on Sasuke's face and the fight would just get worse.

It would turn from a street fight to something more. Hinata could already feel Sasuke's chakra stirring with rage to match Naruto's.

Having Naruto distracted with Hinata, Sasuke pushed Naruto off of him and quickly stood up to kick Naruto in the face now that he was exposed. He channeled chakra to his foot and pushed it down hoping to hit Naruto so hard, he started to hear bells. However, Hinata saw this and flipped Naruto over so she was covering him and Sasuke ended up kicking Hinata on the top of her back. Right over her agonizing bruised back.

The sound of utter pain from Hinata froze Naruto and Sasuke right in their tracks. Naruto heard Hinata loud and clear since she was shielding him. He even saw her eyes as she was kicked. They went from wide and alert to utter pain. Her Byakugan even activated out of reflex from the pain. She then squeezed her eyes shut and screamed out from clenched teeth.

Sasuke immediately went over to her. He couldn't believe he wasn't more careful. He couldn't believe he was the one to make Hinata scream out in pain.

She was precious to him. Sasuke loved her.

Sasuke's eyes widened and his Sharingan activated with pure rage. His eyes danced with pain and hate and Sasuke rushed over to Naruto and Hinata. To save her from Naruto's self-destructive, selfishness. "You fucking IDIOT!" Sasuke pushed Naruto from Hinata. This was Naruto's fault. He made him do this. Get this angry.

Sasuke was doing so good at controlling his anger since he decided he wanted Hinata in his life. He understood Hinata's gentle nature and he adapted to it. He's chilled out on so much and bit his tongue on so many topics, but Naruto pushed him to this. This was NARUTO'S fault. "You couldn't control your idiotic, hot-headed temper! You picked the fight with me."

Naruto watched how broken Sasuke had looked just now as he yelled at him and cradled Hinata, who was taking deep breaths to recover from the aching pain. "I was trying to help you Naruto. We were just trying to fucking help you! I'm not the villagers. Hinata is not the villagers!" Sasuke continued to hold Hinata and winced when he tried to touch her back and she shrunk away from the pain.

Naruto fell on his butt next to Hinata as he looked at the two. He felt like an animal the way he just lost it right now. The way he just raged. He was struggling to control himself more and more and just felt so angry each day. Lost and now after finding everything out he just completely snapped. He wanted to get away, but he wanted to get away with Hinata and Sasuke.

"Why? Why didn't you just say yes? I wanted to leave with BOTH of you. I…can't do this without you two. I just can't get anything right. I keep messing up. You two are all I got."

He needed them.

Hinata looked at Naruto and shook her head weakly. Her back was killing her and training tomorrow was going to be unbearable. "You're not an idiot Naruto. You're not a bad person. You're upset. You're angry. We're upset and angry for you. We're on your side. You're not alone anymore. You won't ever be alone anymore Naruto. Not as long as I'm alive." She reached over and took Naruto's hand and weakly squeezed it.

Naruto looked at Hinata and saw her smiling up at him. After everything that just happened she was smiling at him. Hinata had a horrible day. She was going through withdrawals, training extra hard and was in constant pain and she was the one looking up at HIM. Still with a smile. She still sympathized and cared for him.

He cried. Naruto squeezed Hinata's hand back and covered his face with his other hand as he cried. "I'm so fucking sorry. I'm sorry Hinata. I'm really, really sorry Sasuke. I'll fix it. I'll work on it. This won't happen again. I swear to you. I promise you guys. I really messed up."

Naruto meant it. He'd rather die than to lash out on Sasuke and Hinata again like this.

He'll never put his hands on them again like this and Naruto never went back on his word.

Sasuke let out a sigh and while Hinata's head was in his lap he reached over and pulled Naruto to him. He hugged Naruto. Cradling his head to his chest and letting Naruto express his sorrow.

Naruto cried like a child in pain. Years of misery and trauma seeping out in tears. Naruto clung to Sasuke and squeezed Hinata's hand. He just wanted to be around them. He just wanted to always have them around. "Please. Don't leave me."

Sasuke let out a soft sigh through his nostrils. "Stop talking. Get out of your head Naruto. All those insane thoughts of us just randomly leaving you is in your head."

Naruto rested his head on Sasuke's shoulder and his hick ups started to slow down as he calmed down from Sasuke and Hinata's warmth. "How do you know?"

Sasuke leaned his head on the top of Naruto's head. "Because. I have dark thoughts. They cloud my head almost every day. I see the death of my parents in my mind perfectly clear every day because my brother showed me in a genjutsu. I…get it Naruto. I really do understand how it feels to constantly be hurt and angry."

Naruto pulled Hinata closer to him and held her in an embrace. Now Hinata was lying across Sasuke. Her head resting in Naruto's lap as he still settled beside Sasuke.

Naruto's hand slid up her back, under her shirt and watched as she still looked to be in pain. "I'm sorry." He didn't wait for her to reply back as he dipped his head in between her neck and laid kisses along her neck. "I'm so sorry."

Hinata gasped at the feeling. "I-I-It's O-Okay." She pressed him deeper to her neck and relaxed in his hold. Sasuke looked at his watch. Not wanting Kakashi to go on a manhunt for them for not bringing Hinata back in time.

Sasuke also didn't want to take Hinata back in a worse condition. Kakashi was slightly more protective over Hinata than him and Naruto. Kakashi would indeed FLIP his shit if he saw Hinata like this. They had to aid her.

7:00.

"Get up. Let's go to my apartment. It's way cleaner than Naruto's anyways."

Hinata laid on her stomach as Naruto catered to her back. The bruise was now darker and bigger, multiple colors now and had a little gash in the center from Sasuke's foot. Both Naruto and Sasuke let out a breath of relief that Sasuke didn't break her back. That Hinata steeled herself for his impact.

Sasuke could barely stomach what he did. His mother would be absolutely disgusted that he hit someone he viewed as a future wife. In Sasuke's mind he was courting Hinata already and he just hit her. He made her scream in pain and he caused her to bleed.

His mother. His father. Hell, even his brother Itachi would have murdered him for such a thing. Itachi was heavy on manners and chivalry. He wouldn't have accepted this from Sasuke.

Hinata looked over at Sasuke as he laid on his back on his bed beside her. He was looking at the ceiling because he refused to look at her. Naruto scrunched his brows together as he cleaned her up. He had took a warm washcloth and cleaned her with soap and water. He dabbed her with alcohol and applied some numbing cream for her aches and pains. Currently now Naruto was focused on bandaging her up.

It would be nice if Sasuke helped.

It was hard fixing Hinata up when she was such a reserved person. She was NOT removing her top. The most she'd do for them would be to lift her bulky top up and it was hard because Hinata wore double sport bras. Lifting all that material up and keeping it steady so it didn't slide down, all while treating her. That was freaking hard and having Sasuke help would have been nice.

Naruto held in the urge to fuss and start an argument with Sasuke.

Sasuke blamed Naruto, but in reality Sasuke knew he was the one that equally lost his temper and made a cheap shot to hit Naruto while he was down. Of course Sasuke's pride wouldn't let him express that out loud, but Naruto knew Sasuke knew it was him that kicked Hinata.

However, Naruto knew it was his fault in general. Starting the fight with Sasuke out of nowhere. So, he'd let Sasuke think what he wanted. Sasuke could say Naruto was the one to kick Hinata and he'd just let Sasuke lie because he shouldn't have started the fight to begin with.

"It's going to take even longer for your back to heal. Probably weeks. Make sure you take care of that thing when me and Naruto aren't around." Sasuke said this as he looked up at the ceiling. He closed his eyes when he felt Hinata play with his idle fingers.

Sasuke could feel the mesh glove that Hinata kept on this hand. Her hand that she got injured during their mission. Her hand that she was ashamed of, now her back was something she'd hide from them until it healed.

Hinata has recovered so far from a cut throat. A mutilated hand. Topping it off with fighting her addiction. How much more could this girl go through. Sasuke felt like he was causing Hinata more pain than anything. "I'm sorry."

Hinata and Naruto both looked at Sasuke. He wasn't really someone that apologized, so he must have felt really bad about tonight. "Given everything that has happened. I should not have fed into your anger Naruto. I should not have fed off my own anger and tried to cheap shot you. You're life basically fell apart today Naruto, and Hinata you were already on the decline. I should have been there for you two better."

It wasn't easy for Sasuke to be there for people. It was easier to look out for just himself. He should be just looking out for just himself, but he couldn't help himself. Sasuke felt a connection with these two and something was pushing him inside to make amends.

Just like Naruto, Sasuke didn't want to lose what they had.

He was trying so HARD to be a better person for these two. When he told Naruto he didn't want to end up like Itachi he was serious. He's been trying to change himself for a while. Sasuke couldn't stomach if he was the odd man out of team seven again. Forget team seven. He couldn't stomach being excluded from Hinata and Naruto's life.

Sasuke turned his head and looked at Hinata. His Sharingan glowed with emotion and he looked at her with such remorse. "I did something only a coward would do and I apologize. To the both of you. Honestly. Seeing that you have progressed so much Naruto. That you're up to par with me now, it threw me off. I guess I handled it spitefully instead of being proud of you. Another scumbag thing for me to do."

Hinata watched Sasuke and she smiled. Sasuke and Naruto had no clue how she could always smile when they messed up.

Hinata inched closer to Sasuke and ghosted her lips shyly over his. He blinked at her because this wasn't like Hinata at ALL. This…was like she was rewarding him for opening up to them. For showing them his vulnerabilities. "Thank you Sasuke-kun. You…are a good person."

Hinata cupped Sasuke's face and stared straight into his dangerous eyes. Her Byakugan wasn't activated. She was opening herself to him. "I deeply…care about you Sasuke-kun. I truly do." Hinata then kissed him.

Sasuke felt like this was the first time Hinata had directed such heart filled words solely to him. The way she looked at him, that looked he deemed just for him. Was this what it felt like to be in love? To hear words from someone that just made you feel like you always wanted to make them proud and happy.

Sasuke closed his eyes tight and responded to the kiss. He wasn't shy like Hinata. Sasuke pulled her in hungrily and deepened the kiss. If being open to Hinata got him this treatment, he would have been open with her months ago.

He was growing, he was maturing and Sasuke wanted to show Hinata and Naruto more. However, given the emotional situation all the teens were in at the moment, it would lead to many regrets and utter chaos.

Hinata said words Sasuke wanted to hear from her for a long time. Something directed only to him and not to him and Naruto. They were all doing this together, but to be able to know when to separate them. That's what Sasuke wanted and needed right now. For her to give her all to him like he was willing to do for her.

Sasuke gently laid Hinata on her back and hovered over her. He didn't think about the pros and cons of his actions right now. Sasuke felt Naruto run his fingers tenderly through his hair. Sasuke sat up to look at Naruto with foggy eyes. The two wasted no time locking lips with one another as Sasuke pulled Naruto to him by his collar.

"It's 8:45." Naruto mumbled this in between kisses and Sasuke frowned.

"So what." It seemed Sasuke was losing his maturity now. Letting his teenage hormones take over the situation they put themselves in. He even gave Naruto a smirk. Showing his boyish Uchiha charm that many from their social group swooned over. "We're here. On a bed. We want to be together. What's the problem?"

Sasuke was sick of that outside world. Look what it did to them. It turned him and Naruto against one another. It just kept hurting Hinata. Sasuke wanted to be in a bubble with the three of them right now. He didn't want to deal with the real world. He hated it right now. What they had was genuine and pure. That world out there just tries to ruin what they have over and over again.

Sasuke opened his mouth and ran his tongue over Naruto's lips. Naruto blinked at the new and advanced move Sasuke was trying to start. Sasuke could tell Naruto was interested because he saw Naruto's breathing pattern change.

However Naruto held his composure. Even though temptation was there, he wasn't willing to let Hinata get in trouble. Sasuke's never deepened their make out sessions like this before and the curiosity to explore it was very tempting for the three of them.

However, they had a curfew and while Naruto was still upset with Kakashi. He was more scared of him than anything else.

Naruto stood up from the bed and got himself together. He ignored the annoyed glare Sasuke was giving him and helped Hinata up out of the bed from under Sasuke. The scowling Uchiha sat on the other side of the bed and let Hinata get up when he saw she wanted to end their session as well.

Naruto rolled his eyes at Sasuke. He was in a mood right now. For boyish reasons. Not for mature reasons. Not for love, but for tension. A lot had happened tonight. It was a lot of tension. Even Naruto felt it, but he wasn't going to act on it and possibly regret it.

Naruto was green and inexperienced, but not that inexperienced. "Don't be like that teme. Come on. Let's go before it gets too late."

Hinata slowly stood up and looked at Sasuke to follow them. Sasuke laid back on the bed and turned from the two of them to face the wall. She frowned at this and thought Sasuke was angry with them over declining his affection. "Sasuke?"

"Leave me for a minute. I'll meet you at the door in five minutes."

Hinata looked confused and looked at Naruto, who had a grin on his face. Naruto took Hinata's hand and gently pulled her out the room. "Trust me Hinata. Give Sasuke a minute."

After the most awkward five-minute session of Sasuke's life he regrouped with Naruto and Hinata. The trio walked through the village leisurely now and Naruto showered Hinata and Sasuke with sweet smiles and his sunshine personality again. Sasuke eyed Naruto, not really believing Naruto was 100% himself again, but he was a little better.

Naruto held Hinata's hand because there weren't many people around and looked over at Sasuke. "Why didn't you want to run away with me?"

Sasuke had his hands in his pocket and was a certain distance away from Naruto and Hinata. He looked over at Naruto with an arched brow. "You were going to run away with the Hyuga clans ex-heiress. The clan leaders daughter and somehow you thought in that thick skull of yours that was a good idea."

Naruto blushed and looked to Hinata. She blushed as well, but had a smile on her face like what Sasuke said was witty and funny. She didn't laugh because she didn't want to upset Naruto. Naruto smiled at this. He wouldn't have gotten upset if she laughed.

Now that he thought about it, Sasuke was right. It was dumb. "Okay. Okay it was a dumb idea. Still, even if you had a dumb spur of the moment idea. I would back it up asshole."

Sasuke grunted at Naruto. This was true, but Sasuke wasn't Naruto. "If it was just me and you, then yes. It's not that scenario and you were putting Hinata at risk. If her father found out she'd be dead." She probably really would be dead. Naruto looked at Hinata and she seemed to be okay with getting in trouble if it meant he was going to be happy.

She supported them that much.

Naruto took Hinata's hand that he was holding and brought it up to his lips. He nipped the back of her hand and Hinata giggled because it tickled her. Naruto laughed at this as he started to happily swing her hand. "I'm sorry Princess."

Hinata smiled at his cheerfulness. "No. I'm sorry. For the hard day you had. For me snooping when I shouldn't have."

Naruto looked at Hinata like she was crazy. "Whatttt?! I wanted you to do it. I wanted you to tell me things I didn't know. I'm happy you did that because everything led to me finding out who I really am. About my parents. About my life Hinata. I owe you a million thank you's!"

Naruto leaned over and kissed Hinata on the cheek. It was a big, sloppy, loud kiss and Hinata's whole face lit up red. Naruto whispered into Hinata's ear and held her for support, "My favorite part of you helping me Princess. I liked you on top of me the most."

Sasuke could tell Naruto said something inappropriate because Hinata looked like she was fighting to not pass out.

Naruto spent the rest of the walk giving Hinata hugs and kisses. Rotating between giving Hinata affection and Sasuke because he knew Sasuke secretly wanted attention. Even if he did distance himself from the two of them.

When they arrived back to Kakashi's apartment it was 9:15. Hinata had a key and unlocked the door. Kakashi was sitting at the table at the kitchen counter and had a cup of tea. Enjoying his favorite book. He looked at the three and his eyes glanced over to his microwave to see they were just a little early. "Well?"

Naruto walked in and sat on the couch. Kakashi took a good look at the three of them and he wasn't surprised to see it looked as if Naruto and Sasuke had been fighting each other. He'd keep that witty comment to himself though.

"I don't know. I'm still upset and mad, but there is nothing I can really do about it. I can't change the villagers mind about me. I can't get my parents and my life back. I'm Naruto the orphan now. That's the life I know and cannot change. All I can do is learn about my past and better my future."

Kakashi looked at Naruto for a while. He tapped his figures on the kitchen counter and clicked his tongue against his teeth. "I can do you one better. I can introduce you to your God father. See if he wants to train you after the Chunin exams. Take you under his wing for a bit. Get you out of here. Some fresh air away from the village. You seemed to enjoy being out the village anyways on missions. How does that sound? You become Chunin and you get a ticket away for a bit. Figure things out."

Naruto blinked at the proposition. "W-What about the team? I couldn't leave Sasuke and Hinata just like that. The Chunin exams are in like three months!" Kakashi shrugged his shoulders. "It's something for you to think about Naruto. You want my honest opinion?"

Naruto wanted to say no, because he was still angry, but even he was still curious. "Yeah."

Kakashi walked to his hall closet and took out several pillows and blankets. The same ones Sasuke and Naruto used when they always spend the night with Hinata. "It'll do you some good Naruto. You'll progress the way you want to. Your God father knows how to push you in the right path a hell of a lot more than I do. He's more up to par on your extreme training level."

"I-I t-think it's w-worth giving it a thought Naruto."

Naruto snapped his head so hard and looked at Hinata in shock. Was she just pushing him off?! "What?"

Sasuke took the blankets from Kakashi and walked over to Naruto. "Don't start." Naruto was getting worked up again, over nothing this time. Naruto puffed his cheeks out in frustration and sunk further in the couch. "I'll…umm really think about it. Seriously sensei this sounds like a great opportunity, and I want to take it honestly."

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders as he went into his bedroom to retire. "Team seven isn't going anywhere. Just remember that."

With that Kakashi closed his bedroom door. Leaving Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke to get comfortable for the night. They laid the layer of blankets on the floor near the balcony window because Hinata liked the light from the moon. Naruto sat on the makeshift bed first and helped guide Hinata on the floor gently for her back. Sasuke had fluffed Hinata's spot extra just for her sore back.

Hinata looked at Sasuke after she got comfortable with Naruto. Waiting for him to take his usual position, but instead of wrapping his arm around her, or even touching her at all, he just laid beside her. Hinata and Naruto were still comfortable under the blankets, but Sasuke laid on top of the blankets and had his own thin sheet covering him. Totally distancing himself from them.

Hinata pouted at this. She was a bit saddened that Sasuke didn't want to stick to the routine. Even Naruto looked over at Sasuke for an answer of the odd behavior. Sasuke laid his head on the pillow and looked up at Hinata and Naruto. "I can't."

Hinata still didn't catch on, but Naruto did. "Seriously? Still? Even after, ya know?" She turned to look at Naruto for an answer, but he just smiled at her and gave her a look like she didn't have to worry. Gosh Hinata was so innocent. Naruto didn't have the heart to tell her. Sasuke looked at the two and patted the pillow for Hinata to lay down. "Maybe tomorrow night. Not tonight."

Hinata frowned. Worried that he was upset about earlier tonight. She leaned over to kiss Sasuke goodnight and saw him inch away from her. "Another night Hinata."

Hinata was a people pleaser. Sasuke knew that. So this was taking every ounce of willpower in his being to push her away. Sasuke knew if he wanted to…he really could get what his teenage hormones wanted. He respected Hinata too much to pressure her into doing something she wasn't ready for, because even Sasuke could see she was nowhere near ready for the next level.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "You're such a prude. Don't worry Princess. He's just frustrated is all." Naruto gladly gave Hinata a peck on the lips. "He'll be in a better mood tomorrow. Trust me!"

Hinata laid on the makeshift bed and looked at Naruto with concern on her face. "What is Sasuke frustrated about? Is it something I did?" Naruto laughed at this and while he wanted to say it WAS something she did, he didn't want Hinata to blame herself based off his joke. "Nah. It's a guy thing. TRUST me when I say it's a guy thing."

Sasuke grunted at this and closed his eyes. "Go to sleep you two. You're being annoying."

End of chapter. Just teens being teens. Fights, making out and living life. Except they're trained killers as well.

I wanted to show Sasuke in a more mature light here. How he really takes Naruto being on the same level as him. I try to back track to show that the shift in Sasuke's personality happened when him and Naruto talked in his apartment when they found out about Hinata's abusive family.

Sasuke wanted to be a better person, so he's been working on himself sense that moment. So for a while. Meaning, he could reflect on things longer and not grow as jealous of Naruto.

This chapter shows the shift or foreshadow of how Naruto will now kind of start having a more dominance of the group. Sasuke being more calm and quiet, like he'd rather be and Naruto being the dominant hot head. Still, got some ways before we get there.

As for relationships, Hinata has started to show her independent affection for Sasuke. Her walls she built that only Naruto could get through, now Sasuke could get through them as well without Naruto's assistance. Just took 16 chapters.

Next chapter will be a Hyuga chapter with Hinata, Neji, Hiashi and Hanabi! See you Saturday!
