Hey, hey!
So, just fair warning this chapter has all the cocktail ingredients for a toxic relationship. I love to see it, but I want to warn you all as well. NaruHina goodness, in the best deranged fashion I can give you all. I hope you enjoy!
Also! For Stargazer, you asked about Sasuke mentioning Hinata not being all there in the head. She's emotionally inept in the worst way possible. It'll be explored more in the story, but she has every sense to be a leader and a ninja. However on the emotional scale she is very hard of understanding other's feelings. Mainly due to her rough upbringing and trauma. Hinata treats her team as a team. Just not too much personal information about herself being shared with them, so they don't see that she's dealing with multiple personalities sometimes.
Hope that answers your question!
The third rounds for the Chunin exams have started.
All the remaining teams were watching as they were paired off to fight one another for the finals. The third rounds were held at the rally point from the forest of death phase. An old two level building. The first floor was where the fights were held, and everyone else waiting on the second floor. All the watchers were on the top floor, leaning against the rails watching their comrades prosper or fail. Naruto was laying on the floor, his head still resting on Hinata's lap.
He wasn't even watching the fight. He was too busy looking at Hinata. Reaching up to touch her loose strands of hair. Getting lost in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes. Her blush that would appear on her cheeks whenever they'd enter their world together. The world of only Naruto and Hinata. That burning fire. He could feel it in his chest again. Just by looking at her, because she was returning the same attention he was giving her.
He just wished she showed him a little more.
"Who attacked you? Tell me Hinata." She just shook her head at him. Not feeding into Naruto's urge to make someone suffer. That's all he was doing. Naruto wanted her to tell him who she fought in the forest of death, just so he could take their life. She knew that. He was having an itch and all he wanted was blood on his hands to sooth it.
There was a time and place for everything, and Hinata understood Naruto did these things for a good cause. She just wanted Naruto to understand that NOW was not the time.
Hinata touched his cheek, and Naruto leaned into her touch. Still looking into her eyes. She shushed him and her other hand played with his hair. "Just regular ninja's, trying to advance just like us Naruto-kun. Enough about me. Did you come into contact with the sannin? Are you okay?"
If anything, Hinata was worried about Naruto. There was a dark cloud looming on team seven, and she didn't want Naruto to get hurt. Or worse, lose himself.
He watched Hinata bite her bottom lip in concern, and from being too shy to control the conversation between them. This made him smile. "I'm okay. We didn't even see him. I blasted some poison in the air, and a few of his people dropped. The air was too toxic and he ran off to regroup. By that point, we already had the scrolls and made the decision to get the hell out of the forest. I…I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."
Hinata giggled at Naruto. There was no need to apologize. "Oh! It's okay Naruto-kun."
That wasn't what he wanted to hear at all.
Naruto was now sporting a confused look. His brows furrowed together and he looked caught off guard by her reply. It's okay? It's okay?! Why was it okay? Did she not feel how he felt? Did she not want him there with her every minute of every second? Wasn't it killing her to be separated from him?! It KILLED him. He stood there at that fucking entrance all day and night. For HOURS waiting for her, because it hurt him so bad being away from her.
If Naruto could implode, he would. He would fight one hundred men. He would burn villages and kill whoever got in his way. All because Hinata wasn't mad at him for not being there. She was being too understanding, and that infuriated him!
Why didn't she need him there?! Why didn't she care about him this way! This is what he was talking about when he was talking to Sasuke. Hinata needed work. She needed to feel how he felt. "Why is it okay? Cause you had your teammates there?"
Hinata tilted her head as she looked at Naruto. She watched him sit up from her lap and look at her with slight anger in his eyes. Anger and confusion was not a good combination for Naruto. Why was he angry? She didn't understand. "Yes Naruto. Just like you had your teammates. I had mine. Please do not be upset."
His right eye twitched. Please don't be upset? Please don't be UPSET?! He was fucking livid!
"I'm not upset Hinata." He gave her a tight lip smile, and his eye just couldn't stop twitching from agitation. The worst of it all. Hinata KNEW he was lying right now. Hyuga's could tell these things with those fucking special eyes of theirs, and Naruto sometimes grew very annoyed with the skill.
Before Hinata could question him further. The two heard his name be called, along with her teammate Kiba.
Naruto's eyes lit up and Hinata just looked further nervous. "Naruto-kun. Wait." He whipped his head towards Hinata, and she could see he was in fact very upset. "Don't do that. Don't talk to me in formalities like that. Don't switch it up because I'm going up against your teammate. Your Kiba-kun."
Hinata had never called Kiba that. Naruto was making this up.
She reached for Naruto and he pulled his arm away from her hold. A vicious, ear splitting smile appearing on his face, and Hinata knew nothing good was going to come from this. "Nar-"
"Tell me you wanted me to be there instead of them. Tell me, or I'm going to break every bone in his body and slit his throat. Do not forget these battles can be deadly Nata. So, tell me. Right fucking now."
Naruto stood up as he looked at her. One thing about Hinata. She was stubborn. She didn't like apologizing too much, and she didn't like to make her family look weak. So begging wasn't one of Hinata's things. That day Naruto got her to apologize to Sakura. Hinata didn't talk to him for almost two days. He had to butter her up at home to get her to forgive him for being so cruel to her.
He wouldn't butter her up this time, and she wasn't going to beg this time either.
Naruto's eyes danced wildly, and a manic grin covered his face as he laughed. "You know I'll do it. You know how far I'll go Nata. Say. It."
This was a defining moment between the two. She was calling his bluff, and Naruto thought now would be a good time to show her to not do this to him again. He turned around to leave down to the stairs and didn't pause for a second.
Sasuke watched the heated exchange between the two as he sat beside Kakashi and Sakura. He had already taken his turn and beat his opponent. Now Naruto and Sakura had to go. Just by watching the miniature argument between the Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke could tell Kiba was done.
When the fight was cleared to begin. Naruto looked up at his sensei, and then at Kurenai, team eight sensei. Scenario's and thought's went through his head. How fast he could peel Kiba's head back before everyone realized he was going to kill him. Kakashi would realize first. He would definitely get in the way.
Finally a small smile graced Naruto's calculating face. He dropped down in a fighting stance and held a kunai in his hand. There was a room full of jonin, and technically speaking. He shouldn't know how to use the Rasengan. He shouldn't know how to use multiple techniques that he had in his rolodex. So, planning on taking Kiba on with little to no chakra, it was a cocky decision, but it was his.
He was going to show her.
He'd show her just how weak her team was. Just how much she needed him. He'd take down Kiba with little to no effort just to show Hinata that her teammates could never be there for her like he could. They would never amount to him.
Naruto watched Kiba's trusted canine transform into a second version of Kiba, and he made sure to keep his eyes on specifically that dog.
Sprinting not at his fastest, but surely faster than anything Kiba has done, Naruto took his left hand and mushed it in Kiba's face and buried him into the ground. Meanwhile he used Kiba's body as momentum and launched himself to Akamaru and stabbed the dog with his kunai. Right in it's forehead.
An audible dog yelping could be heard and a puff of smoke. Naruto now holding a limp dog in his arms. Akamaru's leg still twitching. "I guess in human form, I got his head. In animal form, I have no clue how, but I got his throat. You can forfeit, and take this thing to a vet. You're no use to your team with a dead dog. You're no use to Hinata at all anyways."
Naruto approached Kiba and a dark aura surrounded him. Of course Kiba didn't cower away. Naruto knew this dog loving nuisance wanted to put on a brave face. Why did Kiba want to show no fear? Simple, because of his Hinata. Naruto could tell when someone liked his Nata.
His hands gravitated to the tiny dogs neck and made a move to snap it, but was stopped by Kiba. "Stop! Fine! I quit, just stop it!"
That was almost too easy. Kiba made it boring for him. No hand to hand combat. No human blood spilled. This was…well this was a drag. Naruto tossed Kiba his weakened friend, Akamaru and smiled as he saw Kiba run off to get his canine some help. The proctor announced Naruto the winner, and his smile dropped from his face as he looked at Hinata. Who was staring right back at him. A frown on her face as well.
He hoped she was upset with him. He hoped this hurt her.
He wasn't trying to just win. He wanted to cause emotional damage. He wanted to break her team that had her back so much. If that other teammate had a problem with him. Naruto would pour gasoline all over him, and set Shino and his bug on fire.
When Naruto made his way up to the stands. He stopped at his team and looked at his sensei. "Well, one step closer for team seven. Right sensei?" A cocky grin graced Naruto's face and then the proctor called for Hinata Hyuga and Sakura Haruno.
This just had to be some type of joke. Just as it appeared, Naruto's grin slid right off his face.
Kakashi and Sasuke just looked at Naruto. With their arms crossed over their chest in unison. Sasuke rolling his eyes at Naruto's jealousy getting the best of him. Again. "Dobe."
Naruto blinked because he did not see this coming at all. It was like slow motion as he looked at Hinata and watched as she didn't even use the stairs. She just leaped over the rails and dropped down to the bottom floor. He couldn't see her eyes. Her bangs oddly covered her eyes and made her seem emotionless. "Hinata."
He whispered this heatedly down below to Hinata. He knew she heard him, she had amazing hearing. Hinata was choosing to ignore Naruto and this was making his blood boil because this whole thing was blowing up in his face. Unlike Hinata, Naruto was still being heavily watched by his sensei. Naruto has told Hinata once before to lay off Sakura. Hinata ignoring Naruto now was her way of silently saying fuck you.
The proctor announced for the battle to begin and Naruto held on to the rails as he watched the shit storm he created. How Hinata dropped into her traditional family fighting stance. How she watched Sakura charge at her and didn't immediately aim to blow her chakra points into shambles. She was just fighting Sakura. Hand to hand fighting.
"Well. You didn't use much effort against Kiba. Why would she show herself using chakra against Sakura. An eye for an eye Naruto." Kakashi said this as he watched the fight go on. Hinata was toying with Sakura, and now Kakashi was staring holes in the back of Naruto's head. He instigated all of this and put his teammate in danger. In retrospect, Naruto was failing his team.
Meanwhile Hinata was silently making a statement. She wanted to show Naruto that he was nothing without her. That she was his one and only security blanket, that she kept him in check. No one else on this planet could make Naruto double down like Hinata.
Naruto gripped the railings and felt like they were going to bend. Hinata did all of this for her teammate? Kiba had to have meant more to her if this was the case. Naruto should have snapped his neck.
As the fight down below went on, Naruto could conclude that Sakura wasn't weak. She was agile and heavy with the punches. It was just, Hinata has been training before she learned how to talk properly. She was trained to hurt people since birth. Hinata blocked a punch and took the hand aiming to hit her and twisted it into a wrist lock Applying more pressure when Sakura tried to escape.
She tightened and tightened until she heard Sakura's wrists snap. The grunt of agony coming from Sakura did nothing but fueling Hinata to look up at Naruto and almost glare at him. "Tell me to kill her. Tell me you hate her."
She whispered this, so low, even Sakura couldn't hear her. She knew Naruto could read her lips. Clearly. Just by his reaction she knew he read them. This whole ordeal upset Hinata. She didn't like to behave like this, and she didn't like that Naruto forced her to behave so unlike herself. Hinata didn't know why, but whatever mood Naruto was feeling always easily rolled off onto her.
Naruto was silently seething to himself. Moments away from snarling and breaking the damn rails he was bending. Tell her to kill Sakura? Yeah, in front of his sensei. Even if Naruto could spin it and say it was to save Sakura from a career ending injury. If Kakashi asked Naruto if he really felt such darkness towards his teammate. Naruto knew Kakashi would read him like an open book. Naruto didn't hate Sakura, he was just indifferent to caring for her outside of this team.
Plus, Naruto was just as stubborn as Hinata. She wasn't going to win this with him.
It was almost like Hinata wanted Naruto to not say anything. To remain mute, because a small smile graced her face as she forced Sakura to lean over. She held two digits as she activated her Byakugan and looked into Sakura's back. Forcing her fingers in a particular spot over Sakura's spine, and Hinata let out a small burst of chakra.
Naruto watched Sakura's eyes widen from pain and start to gasps for air. Like she couldn't breathe. He watched Hinata lean over to Sakura's ear and whisper in it. Whatever she was saying to Sakura caused Sakura to panic. Her eyes widened and Naruto saw blood start to come out her mouth and nose.
Sakura couldn't breathe. The strained gasps for air, and Sakura turning the color blue instead of red, was showing she was getting zero oxygen. "Alright that's enough." The proctor walked in front of Hinata and gave her a bland look. "You obviously have won. She's moments away from dying and she has nothing left. You win Hyuga. Now free her up so she can breathe."
Hinata continued to look at Naruto as she rubbed her cheeks against the corner of Sakura's bloody lips. She did as the proctor said and sent another chakra wave through Sakura's spine and watched her take a large intake of air before falling on the floor.
Once the match was called and ended. Hinata didn't walk to the stands. She walked through the tunnel, where the injured was recovering, or where you could have privacy.
Naruto immediately followed after her.
Kakashi and Sasuke watched as the two left. Kakashi's face converting back to mock amusement. He'll definitely have a talk with Naruto later. "Granted. A lot of chaotic things are going on during the exams and it should have been canceled. The Naruto and Hinata dramatics makes it all worth it. It's like a story out of the books."
Sasuke turned his head and looked at Kakashi. A genuine smile gracing his face. Probably the first time Sasuke has whole heartedly agreed with Kakashi.
Naruto powerwalked as he followed Hinata. Ignoring all the sickbeds and Genin groaning in pain. When they made it to the very back room, it was empty and Hinata finally whipped around and stared at Naruto fully enraged.
"You just couldn't say you hated her?!"
"You did all of this for that fucking dog boy?!"
They said this in unison, and paused at the same time as they stared at one another. Naruto had no clue what to feel right now. She was saying this because she really wanted him to hate Sakura? To want her to kill her? Is that what Hinata was really secretly desiring? "What?"
Hinata was taking large gulps of air. She felt hysterical. Unbalanced and not herself. What she did. It wasn't her. She wasn't someone that tortured people. She wasn't someone that demanded attention. It was unwomanly. Naruto was her friend. Why was she feeling these things?! "Kiba is my teammate. Why did you do that Naruto-kun? Why…why did you want to hurt me?"
Oh this was crushing Naruto's heart.
His heart literally felt like it was going to erupt from his chest. He walked towards Hinata and she backed away. "Don't do that Hinata." She didn't listen to him. She kept backing away until she was met with a wall and Naruto had her trapped.
He invaded her personal bubble, and his eyes were crazed. He clenched his teeth together and held in a growl. "Don't talk about him like that. You're my…friend Hinata. My best friend."
Hinata looked at Naruto confused and was still breathing heavy. "I-I don't understand. Can I not have more than one friend? You tell me not to befriend Kiba, but you befriend Sakura. I don't understand Naruto-kun. You are confusing me. You have been confusing me lately."
Lately? So, he was getting through to her.
Just like that, his whole demeanor changed and Naruto smiled at Hinata again. He leaned up and kissed Hinata's forehead before backing away. "I'm sorry Hinata. I didn't mean to cause a scene. I'll even apologize to Kiba. Also, don't worry about Sakura. You've been worried about her too much lately. She's just my teammate, just like Kiba is yours. Okay?"
Hinata sniffled and her bottom lip poked out. Quivering slightly. Her eyes adverted from Naruto's, but she slowly nodded her head. "C-Can I have a kiss? Y-You said that it was normal for friends to kiss. That it is comforting."
That warmth that she gives him filled his chest again. That feeling that this was going to be forever. That one day, Hinata would want to be with him forever. His meltdown that he had earlier had faded away, and Naruto was in a much better mood again. He's been on edge since the Chunin exams started. He just needed this TLC.
He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Closing his eyes, and feeling comfort in Hinata. As pathetic as it was, that he basically tricked Hinata into being encouraged to kiss him. As friends. The most annoying idea that he loves and hates. Naruto couldn't make himself stop what they were doing. He liked kissing Hinata, and the fact she enjoyed this as well made his heart sing melodies.
As Hinata held his kimono, she gripped his cheeks roughly and pulled him away from her. So she could stare into his eyes. "Tell me you hate her."
Maybe. Just maybe Hinata wasn't as deranged as some might think. Or maybe, she really was a match made in heaven for him.
Naruto felt dizzy. He could barely focus on what Hinata said, and focused more on her lips and hands forcefully gripping him. Like she was commanding him. Hinata ghosted her lips over his, and her thumb rubbed his cheek. "Tell me. Tell me you don't care if she dies."
Swallowing his thoughts on Sakura earlier. Naruto gave Hinata a lovesick smile. "I don't care Hinata. I don't care if she dies, and I don't care about her. I hate her."
Hinata nibbled on her bottom lip as her face heated up. Pulling Naruto in to another kiss.
As the third round to the Chunin exams came to an end, everyone was assigned their final opponents for the actual exams. Naruto said nothing as he met up with team seven. Like the blow up between him and Hinata never happened. He looked much more calm, and in way better spirits than earlier though.
"So Sasuke. You'll be fighting Gaara from Sauna, and Naruto, you'll be up against his sister. Temari. Do you know who Lady Hinata will be fighting?"
Naruto scratched the back of his head in thought. "Some ninja from sound village. Kabuto, from my knowledge." Obito already told them about Kabuto. Naruto already knew, and the plan was to eliminate him.
Kakashi slowly nodded his head and looked at Sasuke. "You have the option to train with me. Unless you feel the need to be more independent. It would be interesting to see what you can come up with on your own Sasuke. I already taught you Chidori before the exams. So, it would be nice to see what you and Naruto can come up with on your own for a month."
Sasuke dug his hands in his pockets and nodded his head in agreement. "I'm sure we have it under control. How is Sakura?" Naruto looked at Kakashi as well, "Yeah. How is she?"
Kakashi sent Naruto a pointed look. "She'll be just fine. Especially once your best friend gets her sights off Sakura. That fight between them was months of built up anger from Lady Hinata. Why?"
Naruto clicked his tongue against his teeth and frowned. "It's really hard to explain what got Hinata so upset." Kakashi tilted his head and continued to dig for an answer. "Try me."
Naruto let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his neck. He knew this conversation was coming. The whole time Sakura and Hinata was fighting, Naruto was thinking of ways to explain his way out of this. "I missed a few dinners. Ya know? Hinata is big on family dinners. If it was Sasuke that wanted to do team dinners after missions or practice, Hinata would have been angry with him. Sakura just so happened to be the one to want to do the dinners is all."
Kakashi furrowed his brows together. All this over missing dinner? That made no sense, but for some reason, it DID make sense. Simply because the whole dynamic of Naruto, and his personal world made no sense. It was something Kakashi just didn't want to dive further in. Like Naruto trying to psychologically damage Hinata's teammate. Kakashi did NOT want to dive into that conversation. Especially with the village on high alert for Orochimaru.
Anything that involved Naruto was out of this world. The way Naruto functioned in his head was bizarre. Naruto reminded Kakashi of one of those kids that would go out in the forest and kill animals just to have a fake lab experiment with them. Or just so he didn't kill people. The kid that liked to do arson for no damn reason. That's how off the level Naruto was to Kakashi.
Yet, Kakashi had no problem with Naruto because Naruto knew when to turn it on and off. That was fine with Kakashi and all he asked for. All ninja's had their quirks about them. In the beginning Kakashi was on high alert with Naruto. Simply because of the way he got adopted. It was very off that the following day Hiashi Hyuga died, Naruto was adopted by the Hyuga clan.
The Uchiha massacre, Hiashi's death and Naruto being adopted after nine years of living. Very suspicious order of things and it had Kakashi very on edge.
Just to find out Naruto had no connection what so ever to Itachi Uchiha. Kakashi searched high and low and concluded that Naruto never even met Itachi. Even though Naruto is very much talented, at nine years old he wasn't killing Hiashi Hyuga. So, while Naruto raised alarms for Kakashi, he deemed Naruto to just having quirks about him.
Did he like Naruto's lack of teamwork? No, but again, personally Kakashi in the beginning lacked this trait as well. It can be something learned.
Besides. A kid like Naruto. He was exactly what the Konoha council needed to go up against. It was time for a change, and Kakashi saw change in this kid. He liked Naruto and his psycho tendencies.
Kakashi made it his mission to not pry in Naruto's off duty lifestyle too much. It was the least he could do for his sensei's son.
When Kakashi and Sakura left the boys alone. Naruto turned to Sasuke and had a serious look on his face. "That sannin is still in this village lurking for you. Stay with me and Hinata in the Hyuga compound. There's gonna be a meeting tonight anyways with Boss. So I know for a fact that Orochimaru won't try to creep into the compound with him around."
Being at the Hyuga compound reminded Sasuke of his home. Except the Hyuga compound was bigger. More upscale and more private. Once you entered the compound, it was like you were in a whole different world compared to Konoha. Traditional and elegant.
Hinata arranged to get Sasuke situated in a room and politely welcomed him as she continued with her duties. Upon entering the Hyuga compound, that was when Sasuke realized that Hinata really did have important roles. That when she entered the compound, she was 'Hinata-sama' and she had to make decisions under guidance of the Hyuga elders. They were really just waiting for Hinata to reach an age to fully be deemed leader.
Sasuke went through the hustle and bustle of getting settled, showering and having the 'infamous' Hyuga family dinner, that Naruto just HAD to attend. Night settled and Sasuke found himself in Hinata's study. Watching as Neji sat in the large leather seat. Naruto got comfortable near the lit fireplace, and how Hinata laid on the floor beside him, but her head rested on Naruto's lap.
Sasuke was standing, and leaning against the wall to the door. He watched as Obito just opened the door he was near, and walked in casually. Shutting the door as he entered. He took off his mask he was wearing and even though Sasuke has encountered Obito before and trained with him. It still froze him on the spot to see that there was another Uchiha alive.
Everything that Naruto had told him. It's not like Sasuke didn't believe him back in the apartment, but to actually see everything start to fall into place. Sasuke's adrenaline started to pump. He was that much closer to seeing his brother again. Confronting him. Gaining what he wanted.
This gave Sasuke a certain level of respect towards Naruto. He was a person of his word. Reason why Sasuke always had Naruto's back now.
Obito looked Sasuke up and down. Watching as Sasuke's Sharingan slowly became active. In return, Obito smirked. "You still have some work to do with your Sharingan. After this meeting, come out back. We're training after this anyways. Simply because my intel tells me that bastard Orochimaru is becoming desperate. His thirst for immortality has weakened his body, and he's become someone that steals bodies from strong ninja's and takes it as his own. Again, reason why he wanted a Sharingan body. However, with his first plan to get to you failing. He's going for the next best dōjutsu. There has been a hit out on the Byakugan. Specifically, one without the caged bird seal."
Sasuke looked at Naruto and saw how serious he grew. He leaned forward as he listened to Obito and didn't say a word. Hinata started to cling to Naruto's frame and that just made the situation more nerve racking.
Neji took his feet off the desk and frowned at the new intel. Not many people outside of Konoha knew that the Hyuga clan abolished the caged bird seal, and that the branch family was all free. So that just meant this Orochimaru man was after one person. "Hanabi is too young. He put an order to kidnap Hinata-sama."
Someone was trying to take her again.
Obito let of a heavy breath. Believe it or not, he was actually upset at hearing the news too. This messed with his plans. He needed Naruto. He needed this kid to start transitioning to Akatsuki, and Hinata on the hot list to be taken by Orochimaru wasn't going to get Obito what he wanted.
He needed these kids to be strong and defend themselves. Orochimaru was a league of his own, and little to no Jonin were going to really be able to help Naruto, Hinata or Sasuke. Obito couldn't be there. There was no way he'd risk his plans being foiled over this. "As you can imagine. I'm sure this will all happen at the final Chunin exams. Orochimaru is going to go for both of you, Sasuke and Hinata. So, you both have to be able to defend yourselves during his massive invasion."
Naruto bit his bottom lip and looked Obito in the eyes. "So. During the invasion, if we have to fight how we've properly been trained by you. People see it. People see what I really am. You know I can't be here anymore."
Yes. Duh.
That was Obito's plan this whole time kid. Orochimaru coming to this invasion was perfect timing for him. He just needed everyone not to get themselves killed during the invasion is all. "Well. This might be the last mission I have for you in Konoha then Naruto. Looks like you'll be with Akatsuki soon enough."
End of chapter.
Think you guys wanted some NaruHina! I laid it on thick. So, Naruto fell down the rabbit hole that he was trying to trap Hinata in. This chapter kind of shows what will be projected heavier later on. That Naruto wants love, and Hinata struggles to provide it. Just not able to cross that threshold yet, and won't for a bit. Not on the love scale. Aww you'll see later!
Obito is no help what so ever in this lol. Just a little, he is relaying important information. He's also like, 'figure it out yourself'. Simply because he wants Naruto and the nine tails. Maybe he'll come around eventually.
So, for all my readers that's stuck with me for a bit with my stories. Like, notice how everything is kind of chill for the moment in this story? Yeah? Hint-hint for next chapter because that will be the chapter Naruto just completely falls. Aww, remember, he is a villain in this fic.
With that said, see you next Saturday!
