Hi, this is my first fanfic and seeing as I really love Naruto and all the fanfic's made about it, I decided to do a NaruHina fic seeing as that's my favorite pairings. I don't know what I'm going to do with this, but I hope you like it. I'll try to keep it T, but it might change to M over time. Or stay a T. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape, form, reference, phrase, saying, idea, random happen stance, or anything else I can think of, own Naruto, even though it would be awesome if I did… BUT I DON'T! OKAY! On with the story.

In My Spare Time: Chapter 1: Caught and Questioned

Jaraiya sat in a tall tree, doing "research." He was watching some girls playing in the water and trying to think up new ideas for his next book. While he was doing this, he was also thinking of more important things. Naruto.

In a few days, he would be leaving with Naruto on a 3 year training mission. The objective was to make Naruto one of the strongest people in Kohona, or that's what he told Naruto. The real purpose was to help him control the Nine-Tails chakra.

Jaraiya took out a schedule he had made. It was his plan for training Naruto. It was a very balanced schedule. Half of each week would be given to training Naruto. The other half would be given to Jaraiya so he could be himself. The plan itself was great. The only problem was Naruto.

That kid had so much stamina, that at times, even Jaraiya himself got tired out. When Jaraiya showed him the schedule, he complained that his training time wasn't long enough. There was no pleasing that kid without almost killing yourself.

Jaraiya sat there and thought for awhile. How could he be himself and please Naruto all at the same time? There had to be a way. Then it came to him.

He could bring someone else along with him. Then Naruto could train with the other person and leave Jaraiya alone to be himself without Naruto interrupting him. It was perfect.

The only problem was who? It either had to be someone who could wear him down or calm him down enough to take a break.

'Let's see,' thought Jaraiya. 'Who would be good? Well, who are his friends?' Jaraiya sat there and puzzled about it. 'Well, who do I know he's friends with?'

Jaraiya frowned. He only knew a few of Naruto's friends.

'I know that dog kid,' Jaraiya thought, 'the bug user, the lazy kid, and that fat kid. Let's see, the dog kid would probably argue about who is the better fighter, which would encourage Naruto to ask for more training time. The bug user would probably do the same. The lazy kid wouldn't want to train, hence 'lazy kid.' The fat kid would run up the food bill. That wouldn't do.'

"This isn't going to work. Might as well change my schedule," Jaraiya said with a defeated sigh. Suddenly a certain noise was brought to his attention. The giggling of the girls he was watching. Then it struck him.

Why not bring a girl instead? The idea was genius. He did hate that Naruto never knew what it was like to be with a girl. It was bad for Jaraiya's moral as a teacher and parental guardian. If Naruto didn't want to be with the girls Jaraiya was always with, why not have another girl who is his friend be with him. Then Jaraiya could have time to his self and feel good about leaving Naruto to train without him. It was a plus all-around.

The only problem, once again, was who. Who were the girls Naruto liked?

'I guess there is that Sakura girl,' Jaraiya thought. Then he remembered she was she was Tsunade's student. 'Bad idea. Very bad idea.' Jaraiya shivered at the thought of what Tsunade might do if he tried to take away her new pupil.

'How about that blond haired flower girl?' Jaraiya contemplated. 'No, she complains too much, and would probably just anger Naruto. Oh well, I should go inform Naruto of this idea.'

The only problem was (there have been a lot of problems lately) that it was getting harder to find Naruto. If he wasn't eating ramen, he was impossible to find.

Jaraiya got out of his hiding spot and ran into town. He immediately ran to Ichiraku's ramen shop. When he saw no one there, he almost gave up hope. Jaraiya didn't feel like going on a wild goose chase.

Just when he was about to go back and see if the girls were still there, Jaraiya noticed someone familiar. There, hiding in an alleyway, staring intently at something, was a small, blue haired girl. He recognized her immediately as Hinata Hyuga. She was the daughter of Hiashi Hyuga, the future leader of the Hyuga clan, and one of Naruto's friends.

Jaraiya stopped walking and decided to go and ask Hinata where Naruto was. She was a shy girl, but was still quite smart. Maybe she knew where he was.

Jaraiya walked right up behind Hinata and said, "hi Hinata. Do you know where Naruto is?" He guessed she had not heard him coming, because when she heard him, she jumped a foot in the air, turned around and somersaulted backwards.

"M-m-master Jaraiya! I'm sorry. I didn't see you there," Hinata said as she tried to get up. Jaraiya reached down and helped her up.

"Sorry Hinata," Jaraiya apologized. "I just wanted to ask you a question."

"I-it's okay," Hinata said as she got to her feet.

"Anyway, do you know where Naruto is?" Jaraiya asked. At this, Hinata blushed a deep scarlet.

"N-n-naruto? H-he's at the grocery store," Hinata pointed at the store across the street, "buying food just like every Thursday at two."

'Woah,' Jaraiya thought. 'How does she know that? Well, if she knows Naruto that well, maybe I can get some information about him out of her.' Then he pulled out a blank scroll and a pen.

"Can you tell me Naruto's schedule?" Jaraiya asked casually. Hinata blinked. She didn't expect that question, but telling couldn't hurt. He was Naruto's master after all. So she told Jaraiya what Naruto did every day, Sunday to Saturday.

Once they were done, Jaraiya grinned and said, "Thank you Hinata. I have one more question." Hinata braced herself for the next question. Every question except the one Jaraiya asked next.

"How do you know all this?"

Well there you go. The first chapter of my first fanfic. Hope you liked it. R & R.
