Shino looked at Kurenai and Asked, "Do you think Hinata is taking it easy?" Shino Asked in his calm voice
"I feel Hinata's pain Shino, she Isn't taking it easy at all, she must be suffering from depression at the moment?" Kurenai guessed
Kiba sat down on the ground.
"My feet are killing me. How is it possible that Naruto can cover his tracks, I mean, in the Academy days when we played hide and seek, Naruto was the worst hider I had ever met, finding him must've been a piece of cake." Kiba Stated
"ARFF!" Akamaru Barked in agreement with Kiba
"I'm not surprised Kiba, since Naruto graduated from the Academy, I heard of reports of red Chakra from my father at the council from the land of waves where Naruto's mission was held. Let's not also forget the Chunin Exams where Naruto used the Red Chakra to beat Neji and Gaara. So I'm not surprised If Naruto knows how to control it somehow." Shino
Objected
"I agree Shino. Naruto has better control of the Kyuubi than he did before. But because of the villager's attitude towards Naruto, his feelings were building up like a dam ready to burst. When Sakura hurt Naruto's feelings, that must've been the last straw, so we must help Naruto as much as we can when he comes home, if we find him of course?" Kurenai Explained
"I hate the villagers for what they did to him! They don't deserve Naruto at all for what he had done for that place!" Kiba Growled in rage
"I agree Kiba, Naruto had done a lot for the village, and all the villagers still hate him for something he is not." Shino Agreed, adjusting his glasses
"You're both right, That's why we have to do our best to help Naruto with his situation. Alright?" Kurenai Asked
"RIGHT!" Kiba Shouted with a smile
"ARFF!" Akamaru Agreed
"I will also help Naruto and his depression as one of his friends." Shino Agreed
(With Sasuke)
Sasuke managed to get to the lake, he dumped his hands in it and pulled them out to get a quick drink form the lake. He then rubbed the remaining water from his hands on his face to wash it a bit.
The lake was big and wide, It's water was light blue sky, and the lake was pure clean, shape was huge rounded like a circle. The edge of the lake was a bit hilly, about one meter high.
After minutes at the lake, Sasuke heard a small whimper and cry not too far from here.
"*Sniff**Sob**Sniff**Sob*" Someone was crying
Sasuke walked towards the direction to find out what it was.
(With Hinata)
Hinata was curled in a ball, holding her legs tightly and crying into them out of sadness. She was depressed, she was upset that Naruto had ran away.
She was uncontrollably crying, she was angry aswell, but angry at herself for not helping Naruto in the past, even though it was not her fault why she didn't help, she was forced by her father to never speak to or interact with Naruto at all.
Even though her friends say and it's the truth that it wasn't her fault that she couldn't help Naruto, the poor girl still blamed herself for not helping Naruto in the past.
She kept on crying and crying, till her pants got soaked in her own tears. She tried her best to fight them back, but she never could, she just couldn't stop no matter what.
She heard footsteps coming over the hill. She turned to the direction of the noise to see Sasuke coming, with a confused look on his face.
Sasuke of course didn't see Hinata very often, as he did spend most of his time training for the day he kills Itatchi. In fact he hardly saw anyone but Kakashi, he was always busy training and practicing to seek his vengeance against his older brother.
Sasuke asked Hinata, "Why're crying?"
Hinata quickly rubbed a tear from one of her eyes and tried to pretend that she had never cried before.
"I'm not crying, I was yawning." Hinata lied, turning her view towards the lake
"*Sigh*" Sasuke sighed then walked towards Hinata, then sat next to her
"You don't have to lie, I can tell that you're lying, there's something else that is bothering you isn't there?" Sasuke Asked
"You're right…., I guess lying to an Uchiha is…., is not that easy as I….., I thought?" Hinata guessed, tapping her fingers together
"So tell me, what is it?" Sasuke Asked again, his look turning back to his normal Emo look
"Well…., It's about….., about…, about Naruto-Kun…., He's…, He's gone….., and I never got to tell him…., How…., How…, How much I…, I…, Loved him…." Hinata replied sadly, tears forming in her eyes
Sasuke saw the tears and didn't want Hinata to cry, he didn't know why but he wanted those tears to stop blocking his view of those beautiful Hyuga eyes of hers.
He then rubbed one of the tears off of her cheek with his fingers.
Hinata wide eyes at this action Sasuke did and blushed a little.
Sasuke than smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, We'll find Naruto, he can't hide forever."
Hinata then rubbed her eyes for a second.
"H….., how do you know?" Hinata Asked shyly
"Well I don't…., But that doesn't mean that I can't believe that Naruto will be found and brought back to the village now does it?" Sasuke Asked with smirk on his face
"Sas….., Sasuke-Kun?" Hinata said, shocked of Sasuke's words and action
Hinata then smiled back at Sasuke.
"Something tells me you and Naruto-Kun are…., are close to each other?" Hinata Guessed, "Is that true?" Hinata Asked
"*Sigh*" Sasuke sighed sadly, his face changing into a sad expression "Yes Hinata, that is true, Naruto and I are like brothers, we both know how it feels to not have any parents, we both share the same type of loneliness. Until I discovered, what life Naruto had been dealing with." Sasuke said in a sad tone
Hinata felt sorry for Sasuke, her expression changing into concern mixed with a bit of Sadness for Sasuke.
"I wasn't much of a brother now that I think of it, I wasn't much of a brother to him at all. He had suffered greatly, and I ignored it when I should've seen it, what type of brother am I if I can't even help one brother. I always said that he's weak, a dead last and a loser and a dope, I should've realised what Naruto has been feeling while we were in the Academy. I'm no good to be his brother." Sasuke Admitted, sadly, tears coming from his eyes
Hinata felt something in her body that she wanted to help Sasuke. She grabs
Sasuke's hand with hers, smiling at Sasuke.
Sasuke went wide eyes at this. His jaw slightly opened due to the surprise he got.
"It's Okay Sasuke-Kun, Naruto-Kun will forgive you, he always forgive everyone, no matter what they do to him." Hinata Stated, holding Sasuke's hand a little tighter with a small smile on her face
"I'm just surprised that Naruto forgives the villagers after all they had done to him, they don't deserve his respect or loyalty to Konoha at all." Sasuke Said, with a hint of anger in his voice
"I know after all the pain they put him through…., *sob* for something *sob* that he didn't do." Hinata said, tears forming in her eyes again, expression changing into sadness
Sasuke couldn't take anymore, he grabbed Hinata by the waist then pulled her into a hug. Hinata blushed furiously in shyness, her head turning completely red. Sasuke was blushing, but not as much as Hinata, as he was trying to figure out why he did that.
After a couple of seconds with the hug, the hug broke, both Hinata and Sasuke quickly separated from each other after the hug was broke.
They both looked away in shyness, both blushing.
