Chapter 1: The Newest Chapter

He had been promised that this would have been a simple B-Rank mission, a simple track and kill mission. He, Kiba, Tenten, and Hinata were sent after a group of rogue ninja from the Hidden Stone

Village, who operated mainly in the Land Of Rain.

And now, after only two days of tracking him, Naruto and Hinata had been separated from the rest of the squad, lost all kinds of supplies, and were beaten and bruised by the aid's bodyguards. Naruto looked over at Hinata, who had her veins throbbing on the sides of her beautiful lavender eyes.

"We lost track of him, and Kiba and Tenten too, I can't find them anywhere in the area." She said, disappointed. Naruto sigh and opened his mouth to yell, only to be met by Hinata's palm.

"Please Naruto, d-don't do anything like t-t-that." She was on the verge of tears. Naruto wasn't very good with women at all, but he could tell Hinata was still mourning the loss of her cousin, Neji.

"Don't cry Hinata. I know you feel extremely sad, like the rest of the Hyuga family. I am also mourning the loss of a great comrade too. But you have to be strong. The Fourth Great Shinobi War is over, we won, and the Akatsuki are incredibly weak. All you have to do is remember what you told me when you were saving me from Pain." Hinata jolted upright, remembering what she had said to him. Her eyes were no longer red with sadness, but her checks were with embarrassment. "You don't have to be sad any more Hinata, we can return to the Leaf Village once we deal with this mess. And maybe I could take you somewhere to cheer you up a little bit." Naruto flashed her a friendly smile.

The big boom of thunder startled both of them. "Gosh, does it ever stop raining here in the Land Of Rain." Naruto started to complain. HIinata started to grin a little bit, she always found it funny when Naruto got flustered.

"We should probably find some shelter for the night. We might get sick if we stay out here too long." Started Hinata, before shivering. They already lost their coats and blankets when they were attacked by the rogue ninja, who then took all their supplies and fled.

"That's a good idea. I really need to get my 10 hours of sleep." Naruto responded. "Hey, Hinata, use your Byakugan to find a cave or something nearby." Hinata sighed and pointed to her left. "Oh." The two walked into the cave plopped down in a spot where they could out the entrance, but no one could see in. Hinata shivered and cuddled up against Naruto.

"Uh...Hinata?" He started.

"Sorry, I didn't know it bothered you."

"No... not that. I'm perfectly fine with that. But, your ninja tools are starting to poke into my leg."

"S-Sorry Naruto." Hinata said before adjusting her ninja tools. Naruto felt a rush of anxiety before wondering, Should I put my arms around her? Naruto took the risk and put his arm around Hinata, who still had her arms arms around his torso. She looked up to see Naruto's smiling face. He tugged a little bit with his arm, gesturing for her to move closer. She cuddled up against him more. Naruto then put his other arm around Hinata.

Hinata now had a rosy red tone across her face. Then Naruto spoke, "Hinata, did you really mean what you said before you fought Pain? When you said you loved me?" Hinata reran the flashback in her mind over and over.

Feeling quite embarrassed, Hinata said, "Y-Yes Naruto. I meant every word of it. And I don't regret it." Naruto thought she would say that. A smile slowly spread across his goofy face.

"That what I thought." Hinata looked up at him with a startled expression on her face. "If what you say is true, then I want you to go on a date when we get back to the Hidden Leaf. Unless you don't want to, of course."

Hinata was so surprised that she didn't know how to react. She gave him a tight squeeze and said, "Of course Naruto, I would love to go on a date with you." Hinata cheeks were red as roses. And Naruto looked as happy as he had ever been.

"I'm looking forward to it. But, we should probably get to sleep now, we might have a few more days before we find those rogue ninja. Good night Hinata."

"Good night Naruto."

Naruto awoke to a big slobbery lick that went all the way across his face. "Come on Hinata not yet, just a few more minutes."

"That wasn't Hinata you idiot, it was Akamaru. It seems he finally found you two lovebirds in here." Naruto snapped his eyes open to find a smug looking Kiba, and a mischievous looking Tenten staring at him. He looked to his left and found Hinata still clinging to him, asleep.

Naruto removed his arm from around her shoulder and gently shook Hinata at her waist. He noticed how beautiful she looked when she was asleep, like an angel. "Hey Hinata, wake up. Kiba and Tenten found us asleep." Hinata slowly opened her big lavender eyes and looked around at her surrondings.

Then Tenten spoke up,"So what were you two doing last night alone, huh?"

"The only thing that these two were doing was leaving giant tracks in the ground. Even a new Genin could have spotted those tracks a mile away. Good thing we found you two first though."

Naruto shot to his feet, and glared at Kiba. He didn't even realize that Hinata had fallen over because of him.

"N-Naruto." Said a quiet, gentle voice below him. Naruto Realized his mistake and bent over to help Hinata get up. He grabbed her around her waist and under her arm. He had no trouble lifting her up, he noticed Hinata was so light, like a feather.

"Well before you two lovebirds start gawking over each other, we need to get going. We found their hideout when we were looking for you two this morning. Chances are that these rogue ninja are still going to be there. It isn't to far from here, maybe about a kilometer or so away. So, let's go there and take them out shall we?" Said Tenten

"Can we get some water first, I haven't had any any fresh water since we were separated from you guys." Asked Naruto. Kiba sighed and pulled out his bottle, then tossed it to Naruto, who drank about half of it before handing it to Hinata, who then took a few sips and handed it back to Kiba.

"Thanks." Said Hinata.

"Now let's go you two have already wasted enough time already. We still have a mission to complete. You two can cuddle again later." Hinata's cheeks turned rosy and Naruto looked annoyed.
