A/N: A short omake for you all. Naruto's POV of the events in the last chapter. Thanks to reviewer RavenShadow for pushing me over the fence when it came to this chapter. I was considering writing this and finally decided to do it after your review.

Naruto had been thinking. A lot. Which was strange for him. As a hunter, he relied mainly on instinct, both to ensure his own survival and the survival of the tribe. Overthinking either caused your death by a predator, or caused you to miss a vital shot at your prey. All this thinking was giving him a major headache but he just couldn't stop.

What was he thinking about? The shy, mysterious Hinata. For most of his life, he thought of her as dark and weird. The few times he did think of her, that is. Most of his thoughts back when he was younger used to be dedicated to the pink haired, loud Sakura. Meanwhile, Sakura's thoughts were dedicated to the brooding, sullen Sasuke. Naruto couldn't handle it that Sakura preferred Sasuke over him, and would constantly try to win her over. To his dismay, his efforts were usually met with insults and a fist to the face.

Eventually, Sasuke acknowledged Sakura's love and claimed her. That's when Naruto finally conceded. He didn't want to get between a claimed couple, especially when the individuals in that couple were his best friends. After losing Sakura, he just assumed he wouldn't claim any woman, kind of like Jiraiya, the man who taught him everything he knew about hunting. Unlike Jiraiya, he wouldn't go around having sex with as many tribeswomen as he could get his hands on. Sex without claiming just didn't appeal to him.

He was of this mindset until about half a moon ago. He was wandering through the forest, gathering some plants, when he came across a small waterfall. Under that waterfall was none other than Hinata. A very naked Hinata. A very naked Hinata with water droplets covering her body, glistening in the sunlight. His jaw dropped and he felt his dick harden under his furs.

He had seen naked women before, living in a close-knit tribe it was bound to happen. But he had never seen a figure like Hinata's. Her breasts were large and round, jutting out alluringly from her chest. Her waist was tiny, leading into large hips that looked perfect for grabbing on to. Something about the situation, the fact that he could see her but she didn't know he was there, made it even more titillating for the young blonde. Hiding behind a tree, he reached under his clothes and jerked himself off, cumming harder than he ever had in his life. He felt so ashamed immediately after that he turned around and left despite his meager pickings.

Ever since that moment, he couldn't stop thinking about Hinata. He didn't even get any respite at night; he even dreamed about her. They rarely talked, but when they did she was always so nice to him. She never hit him and never insulted him, unlike the majority of the tribe when he was younger. The more he thought about her, the more his feelings grew, until they even surpassed his feelings for Sakura. There was only one problem—he could hardly ever find her. You would think, being that the tribe is only so big, that he would run into her often. This wasn't the case. Whenever he caught a glimpse of her, she was going the other way. Wherever he was, she wasn't. It was so frustrating that Naruto, the great hunter, couldn't hunt down the one thing he wanted most.

Irritated by the situation, he came up with a plan. There was a hunt coming up soon. All he had to do was track down some big game, and make the killing blow. Hinata would be so impressed she'd run straight into his waiting arms. And then…Naruto wasn't sure exactly, to be honest, so he sucked up his pride and went to ask the most perverted man he knew, Jiraiya, about the intricacies of sex. Jiraiya was more than happy to teach him all he knew about women. Some of the things he told him about a woman's body made him blush, but after that talk his dreams of Hinata really leveled up. There were so many positions he wanted to see her in, so many pleasure points that he desperately wanted to find on her body.

The hunt came and lasted two whole days, mostly because Naruto kept insisting that the group shouldn't settle for simple deer, but bring back a real prize to the tribe. Eventually, they ran into a large boar on its own in a clearing and Naruto was satisfied. After the group hit the creature's hide several times, weakening it, Naruto threw his spear with all his might, shattering the animal's skull and finally causing it to collapse.

Naruto had a large grin on his face the whole trip back home. Phase one was complete. The boar was big enough to feed everyone for about a week and there would definitely be a huge celebratory feast that night. That was when Naruto was going to make his move and Hinata would be his. He was giddy with anticipation.

Returning home, as always, was nice. The tribe was really excited by the hunters' kill. The unclaimed women in particular flocked around Naruto, singing him praises. He was flattered by the attention but also upset that the one unclaimed woman he wanted to see wasn't there to greet him. No matter, she would definitely show up to the feast tonight, he thought. After all who would miss an opportunity for fresh meat?

After everyone settled down, it was time to get to work. Naruto helped set up the fire pit for the spit roast, and helped clean the boar. He kept hoping that Hinata would show up and see him playing the part of a capable, strong male, so she would know he'd be able to provide for her and their children no problem. As usual, he found himself disappointed. The boar was well on its way to being fully cooked and she still hadn't arrived. Sasuke pointed out his grumpiness, but Naruto wouldn't tell him the cause.

Finally, finally, he caught sight of her approaching. He watched as she paused, then started turning around. No way, Naruto thought, she wouldn't get away that easily. He ran up to her and grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.

"Hinata!" he called out to her, watching as she slowly turned to face him. She looked like a frightened doe, opalescent eyes wide, her perfect mouth opened in a 'oh' shape. Naruto gave her his best smile, considering his heart was racing from being so close to her, to put her at ease.

"N…Naru…" her lilting voice started saying his name.

"Come!" overexcited, Naruto interrupted her and led her toward the fire. As they advanced, he racked his brains for Jiraiya's advice on women. Every move he made was integral in getting Hinata to like him back and see him as a potential mate.

"Women want to feel special," Jiraiya had said. "Even a male who's not particularly strong or handsome can get a woman's attention by paying attention to her." What could he do to show her she has his attention? Naruto wasn't very smart, at least he wasn't as smart as Shikamaru who redesigned their spears so they flew twice as fast, but he was determined.

He thought of another bit of advice from his perverted teacher: a man can gauge a woman's interest based on how receptive she is to his touch. So, he thought, why not combine both pieces of advice? They approached the log that Sakura and Sasuke were sitting on and Naruto knew what to do. He sat down and pulled Hinata into his lap, holding her to his chest with one arm and letting a hand rest on her thigh.

Hinata was as stiff as a tree trunk, Naruto noticed, worrying. Did that mean she wasn't interested? Well, he placated himself, at least she wasn't fighting to get out of his arms so maybe she was just surprised. Naruto continued holding Hinata as he restarted his conversation with Sasuke. He noticed his friend glance at the girl in his lap and gave him a glare, daring him to say anything about it. So help him, if Sasuke ruined his chances with Hinata he would never forgive him. Luckily, Sasuke appeared to get the message and spoke with Naruto as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Coming up next to the roasting boar, Tsunade got everyone's attention and announced, "The boar is prepared! Naruto, you may make the first cut." His chest puffed out with pride; he sure hoped Hinata was impressed. They got up and he gave her another smile. He couldn't help but smile around her.

He took her by the hand and led her to the boar, giving her the sharp rock to cut the meat. In his mind, he couldn't be any clearer about his intentions—only claimed couples gave each other the first pick of a kill. He dejectedly let go of her hand so she could cut out their portion of the boar. Once she did, he walked her back to the log, pulling her into his lap again before she had a chance to sit elsewhere.

As they started eating they watched the rest of the tribe get their meat. Naruto noted that Hinata was a lot looser this time around and was slowly but surely sinking into his embrace. After he finished his meat, he wrapped his arms around her as before, with one hand on her thigh. She eventually lay completely against his chest, their cheeks practically touching. This was a good sign, an excellent sign, he thought. She had never been this comfortable around him before—she was usually blushing and nervous whenever Naruto saw her. He started to slowly rub her thigh, testing the waters. She sighed and cuddled further into his broad chest. This was perfect, he mused excitedly, all of the reactions so far have been positive. She wasn't hitting him and she certainly wasn't pulling away.

In the periphery of his mind, he noticed Sasuke and Sakura leaving, but the majority of his thought process was focused on the woman melting into his lap. He glanced over at her. The pale, delicate skin on her neck was calling to him, so without thinking too much about the consequences, he buried his nose in her neck and inhaled deeply. Hinata's unfiltered, heady scent washed over him and he let out a growl in appreciation. He tightened his hold on her, wanting to feel all of her against him.

Hinata whimpered.

Pure, unadulterated lust clouded Naruto's mind. Hinata would be his, there was no doubt about it. He abruptly rose, taking a confused Hinata with him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Let's go," he commanded her, taking her small hand in his. He was leading her back to his cave when he felt her tug in the other direction.

"My cave is over there," Hinata told him when he looked at her questioningly. Naruto was a bit disgruntled. Did she really not understand what was going on here? Didn't he make his intentions crystal clear?

"No. Come with me," he demanded. He watched as she rubbed her thighs together. That elicited something wild and primal within him. He couldn't wait to take her, claim her as his. She nodded dreamily.

They continued on until they reached Naruto's cave. He nervously watched her take it in, hoping she would be impressed by his bed of furs. There was bear and even mountain lion in that pile. It hopefully showed off his prowess as a hunter and his ability to provide for her. He let her look around as he went to start a fire.

He got up, and offered Hinata his hand. She took it without hesitation and he pulled her into his chest, his heart pounding in anticipation of what he was about to do. He leaned down and kissed her.

Things moved pretty quickly after that. They had amazing sex, which Naruto really hoped was as good for her as it was for him. He pulled out as many of Jiraiya's tricks as he could remember in the heat of the moment, and felt he was successful given that she came. But then she almost left in the middle of the night, waking him up as she untangled herself from his arms. He didn't even think before pulling her back down and pounding her tight pussy one more time to show her who she belonged to. It seemed, after that, that she finally understood he had claimed her.

Naruto wrapped his arms around his woman and went to sleep, his heart feeling incredibly full.
