On the sixth day Hinata did not show up at the negotiating table. She sent an excuse with one of the sand palace maids, notifying she was feeling unwell.
That morning Naruto was unable to have peace, less to negotiate properly. He was so concerned about her that he didn't allow himself to focus on anything else. From time to time he activated the sage mode to monitor her emotions, indeed the young woman's chakra was noticeably altered, apparently she was going through a lot of physical pain
What would be happening to her?
"It's not very exciting to come to this meeting without Miss Hyuga's presence" he heard Ronin say from the other side of the room -
"I agree with you Ronin-san, in the middle of so much paperwork, once in a while looking at such a beautiful face is refreshing" added one of the old men at the table.
-You refer to her face only? I actually lose myself watching her big b…-
Three kunais appeared in front of the face of the depraved old man who had dared to speak, each held by a different person. The three men stared at the old man, then looked at each other, trying to understand the other's motivations. The first to speak was Ronin, who was holding his Kunai in an extremely inexperienced way, he was definitely not a shinobi.
- Mr. Atsu, you must know that my comment expressed my unhappiness for the absence of our friend, but I never tried to offend her. I demand that you take your words back or I'll make you take them back by force-
"Damned impostor" Naruto thought angrily as he held his own kunai, the one closest to Atsu's neck.
-Miss Hyuga is a kind person very appreciated by me and I do not allow her to be spoken of in such a vile way. I hope gentlemen- said Naruto, who addressed everyone at the table- that this pitful comment does not leave this room so as not to embarrass the young lady, who has come in the most professional terms to ensure the well-being of her loved ones, despite the fact some of us behave like a pack of dogs in her presence- he remembered her comment about having to stop a man earlier -and to you, Mr. Atsu, know that if I see you again setting eyes on the young lady, I'd be happy to get them out of your face so you dont bother her again-
Gara's hand rested on Naruto's kunai, inviting him to lower his weapon, while the other hand held his own kunai -Miss Hyuga is an emissary invited by my village, and I won't stand to be disrespected. Your comment, sr, could lead us to a war with the village of the Moon, a nation that at this moment is as big as the entire country of fire. Hinata Hyuga is the person at this table with the highest rank, close to royalty, so please learn some good manners around her, unless you prefer to be executed for treason to our country-
"Yes... yes gentlemen, my apologies to the lady, and to you too" Atsu said with a trembling voice. "Mr. Uzumaki, you can be sure I won't look at her again," he said to Naruto, whose threat had been the most terrifying of the three. Perhaps because as he spoke, the boy's eyes had taken on a reddish fury, and for a moment Mr. Atsu felt that he was in the presence of a demon.
After that no one else dared to speak about the princess again, and followed the regular schedule. When the blonde couldn't handle his anguish anymore, he also excused himself and left the room. He needed to know she was ok, her chakra was even more disturbed.
"Hinata, are you alright?"
The door opened slightly to allow the heiress to appear, who felt surprised by the young man's visit. Her face showed a clear tiredness, probably due to lack of sleep.
"Hi Naruto-kun... I'm fine, I'm just a little weak" she said leaning against the door as it seemed that she could vanish at any moment.
-Hina we have very different concepts of what it is to be fine. You can barely take a step! Come, I'll take you to bed- And without waiting for her answer he took her in his arms, closed the door behind him and deposited her on the bed
-Now, could you tell me what's wrong with you?-he took one of her hands in his -You really have me worried-
-It's nothing Naruto-kun, I'll be fine tomorrow... it's just a matter... personal-she would have blushed but the girl couldn't even do it, such was the pallor on her face
-Personal?- added the confused boy.
-The girl is with the bleeding, boy"- Kurama told him trying to explain the situation the blond didn't seem to understand.
-AHHHH! Kurama says that you are bleeding Hinata, where is your wound? - the young man began to try to inspect the girl's body, who this time had managed to get a bright red color on her face
-YOU ARE REALLY AN IDIOT! THE FEMALE IS IN HER BLEEDING CYCLE, SHE IS NOT INJURED! YOU HAVE FORNICATED ALL THE FEMALES YOU HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT LEARNED WHAT BLEEDING IN ONE OF THEM MEANS?-
Now it was Naruto's turn gradually blushing, Hinata tried to hide from his scrutiny and tried to explain
-No, it's not that, it's that…-
"Don't worry, I got it," he said while his eyes looked at the floor in embarrassment. He slowly looked up to see a wincing Hinata. -Does it hurt so much? I... I don't remember any couple that suffered so much in those days-
She looked down -I suffer from a special condition in my uterus, it causes more bleeding in each cycle, and the process is extremely painful-
-It's not dangerous?-
-Beyond making me spend a day or two in bed, it is not dangerous. The elders of the clan did rigorous tests on me when I started to bleed…because what was happening to me was not normal. They were worried that it was sterile, but fortunately it was not the case- a new grimace of pain took over his face
"I would love to be able to help you in some way" he told her, it really saddened him to see her like that.
-There is something we can do boy. I have lived in the body of many women and some used part of my chakra to strengthen their belly. We can pass her a small part, that should take the pain out of her-
-Wooow you're amazing Kurama!- He turned his gaze back to the girl -Hina, Kurama has a technique that can help you with the pain, shall we try it?-
-Honestly, I'd love to get rid of this, even if it's just this once-
The blond paid attention to the explanation his biju gave him and started to provide the instructions to Hinata.
-Okay, then lie down, and open the robe-
Her heart skipped a beat. Feeling exposed to Naruto again made her extremely nervous. Still she followed the instructions.
Naruto watched her delicate hands travel to the lace of the robe, to loosen it slowly and nervously. Opening it, he found the girl dressed in a two-piece silk ensemble: a tank top and a small panty. His breathing changed instantly.
-Hina, I must place my hand, um... on your belly, as close as possible to your uterus.- He didn't say anything else, silently waiting for her approval.
-Okay, do it- she replied with a low voice, somewhat scared.
Naruto's hand rested near her navel, then lowered to dig a little into the panty edge, stopping at the place where he could be in contact with the girl's uterus. Little by little he was letting a thread of chakra flow towards her.
Hinata couldn't help but feel a pleasant sensation, Naruto's warm hand on her, and the chakra she received from him was making the pain lessen.
"Naruto, this…feels really good" she told him in a low sigh.
He felt a heat begin to rise through his body, and his heart beated with impressive force.
"Kurama, I feel…strange. Please don't let things get out of hand"
-boy, what you are feeling is not desire, so you both are safe-
-What the hell can a man be feeling when he has his hand in the underwear of a woman as beautiful as Hinata?-
-Kid I'm not your babysitter, and you're not a brat anymore. Find it out, and hopefully soon. But since you're an idiot, I'll ask you a question that might help you... what do you most want to do with her at this moment?
"I wanna…"
The blond's eyes stopped to observe her magnificent legs, the belly he was caressing at that moment, her beautiful breasts and finally the face that was finally beginning to show a peaceful smile of relief, her pain had disappeared "
"I want to take care of her"
