章節 15: Chapter 15
.
Eventually they found themselves on a random training field, just outside the village. The two stood on opposite sides of the clearing, and just stared at each other. Without a word they were both charging each other.
Sakura went for powerful kicks and punches utilizing her chakra enhanced strenght. While Hinata went for precise and fast jabs using her Byakugan to see all of Sakura's movements. However Tsunade's evasion training had paid off, and Sakura effortlessly dipped and dodged around Hinata's jyuuken strikes. Hinata was dodging Sakura's attacks, but they were slowly but surely getting closer to striking her. As they continued to trade blows, Hinata made the mistake of trying to block one of Sakura's blows. She was sent flying across the field, and with a grunt she did a quick flip and landed on her feet.
Hinata was panting heavily as she clutched her throbbing arm. She looked to see that Sakura was slightly winded, but she still looked like she could go for a while. This surprised Hinata, because she knew Sakura didn't exactly have the best stamina and would usually tire quickly.
"How is she moving so fast? It's as if she's speeding up. Also how is she not tired yet? She looks she could still fight for a lot longer." Hinata thought as she activated her Byakugan. What she saw made her gasp.
Sakura was feeling great. All her senses felt heightened. When she was fighting Hinata, it looked as if Hinata was moving in slow motion. Also Sakura was surprised at how spry she still felt. Normally by now she'd be bent over in exhaustion. She was shaken from her thoughts when she saw Hinata activate her Byakugan and gasp.
"Hinata what's wrong?" Sakura asked concerned she might have hurt Hinata.
"Sakura your arm." Hinata said as she saw the red glow Sakura's arm was giving off. The glow seemed to be spreading throughout Sakura's chakra system.
Sakura blinked and lifted her sleeve to see that the rings on her arm were slightly glowing.
"What are those?" Hinata asked as she appeared next to Sakura.
"These are because of Naruto," Sakura said as Hinata poked the red and orange rings. "I got them after we...had sex. Naruto bit into my neck, he said Kurama told him to."
Hinata again gasped, but this time for a different reason.
"WHAT! She had sex with Naruto-kun. But...but I wanted to be his first. Well if I can't be his first, I will definately be his second." Hinata thought as she shot Sakura a jealous look.
Hinata decided to get back to the topic on hand.
"Well it seems that those rings have given you some of the kyuubi's chakra." Hinata said as she again activated her Byakugan. She saw that the red chakra in Sakura's system was slowly starting to retreat back into the rings.
Sakura went wide eyed when she heard this. So that's why she wasn't tired, and everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. It was because she had some of Kurama's chakra in her. Sakura had to let Tsunade know right away.
"Hinata we have to let Tsunade-sama know about this." Sakura said as she took of back towards the village with Hinata in tow.
Naruto trudged aimlessly through the village streets with nowhere to go. He was officially bored out his mind. But luck shined upon Naruto, because he spotted Tenten walking out of a weapon shop just in front of him.
"Hmm might as well ask her." Naruto thought as he ran to catch up to the weapon mistress.
"Hey Tenten!" Naruto called out as he ran towards her.
Tenten quickly spun around and grinned when she saw Naruto.
"Hey you knucklehead." She said genuinely happy to see Naruto.
"How have you been, Tenten?"
"Ah, I've been alright. I've been training with Lee and Neji a lot lately. Also I've been visiting Gai-sensei at the hospital." Tenten said with a sad smile.
"How is he doing?" Naruto said sadly as he thought of Gai.
"Oh he's doing well, still spouting nonsense about his 'flames of youth' never being extinguished," Tenten said with a sigh, but she was smiling. "I can tell he's disappointed that he can't be a shinobi anymore, but he's making the best of it. Plus Lee is with him all the time trying to cheer him up."
"Well that's Bushy Brows for you." Naruto said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah it is," Tenten said as she looked into Naruto's piercing blue eyes, her brown eyes met his blue ones. She blushed slightly and looked away. "I...I uh never thanked you for bringing Neji back and for saving Gai-sensei."
"You don't have to thank me Tenten-chan." Naruto said with his usual grin.
Tenten blushed even more when she heard him add the -chan to her name.
"Yes I do Naruto. If I had lost Neji and Gai-sensei, I don't know what I would have done." Tenten said as she fought back tears. She wouldn't cry especially in front of a Naruto. She was a tough woman, and she wouldn't look weak in front of him.
Naruto saw this and he scowled a little.
"Tenten just because you want to cry doesn't make you weak. Even the strongest woman needs to let out her emotions sometimes." Naruto said as he placed a hand on Tenten's shoulder.
Tenten listened to Naruto's words, and they made sense to her. She let a few stray tears streak down her face, but she quickly wiped them away. Naruto may be right, but she didn't like to cry in front of others.
"Thanks Naruto, I needed that." Tenten said as she looked up at him and smiled.
"No problem Tenten, that's what friends are for." Naruto said with a smile.
"Yeah friends." Tenten said sadly.
Seeing this Naruto decided to go for it.
"Hey Tenten would you like to go out sometime?"
"What, like a date?" Tenten asked surprised by his sudden request.
"Yeah I'm free tomorrow. Maybe we could spar then hang out afterwards."
Tenten thought for a moment. True a part of her still liked Neji, but she knew that relationship likely wasn't going anywhere. Plus she had always had this silent admiration for Naruto, it had started after he defeated Neji in the chunnin exams. He was one of the few guys who truly caught her attention. She decided to throw caution to the wind, and just go with it.
"Sure thing Naruto, pick me up around 6 p.m. tomorrow." Tenten said with a big smile.
"Alright it's a date. I'll see you tomorrow Tenten-chan." Naruto said as he took of down the street.
Tenten watched Naruto run of, and a dreamy sigh escaped her lips. She knew tomorrow was gonna be amazing.
Naruto now sat in Ichiraku for dinner waiting for his order to be prepared. He was a little disappointed that Ayame wasn't there, but Teuchi told him that she hadn't been feeling well lately. Naruto just sighed, he missed talking with his neechan. He had briefly considered a relationship with her, but she was his sister in all but blood. It would have been weird dating her.
As Naruto sat there he thought of the exhausting day he had. The entire day had been a fucking emotional roller coaster. He had no idea what he was gonna do after he ate. He hadn't seen Sakura or Hinata all day, and Konan and Ryuuzetsu were both out on short missions. Naruto sighed as Teuchi placed his bowl in front of him. Teuchi wanted to talk to the boy, but he looked like he needed to be alone right now.
Naruto was just about to start eating when he heard the flaps to the stand be pushed aside. He was gonna ignore whoever entered, but he was surprised to hear the person speak to him.
"There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you."
Naruto spun around on his stool and was surprised to see Ino Yamanaka standing there. He was even more surprised to hear that she was looking for him.
"You were looking for me?" Naruto asked as he pointed to himself.
"Well yeah, when I couldn't find you at your apartment or the training grounds. I knew you'd be here." Ino said as she took a seat next to him.
"Why were you looking for me?" Naruto asked honestly confused. Ino and him weren't exactly the closet of friends. But she was one of his precious people, and he cared deeply for her. It also helped that she was honestly one of the hottest kunoichi in the village.
"I...I have something I want to ask you." She asked as a blush spread across her face.
Naruto was confused. Ino was usually very loud and direct. But to see her stuttering and blushing was very surprising.
"Sure Ino, you can ask me anything." Naruto said as he looked into her pale blue eyes.
Ino took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
"Naruto...h-how would you like to go out on a date with me?" Ino asked as she blushed furiously.
That was the last thing Naruto was expecting to hear.
"Wh-What?" Naruto asked still a little shocked.
"I asked you, if you wanted to go on a date." Ino said a little more confidently this time.
Naruto just stared at her for a moment. He honestly couldn't think of any reasons to not a least give her a chance.
"Sure thing Ino-chan, but I'm busy tomorrow. So how about the day after that?" Naruto said with a smile.
Ino's face lit up when he agreed.
"Thank you Naruto, that sounds great!" Ino nearly yelled as she pulled him in for a hug.
Naruto hugged her back, and inhaled her scent. She smelled of freshly picked flowers. Realizing that they were hugging slightly too long, Ino released Naruto as a fierce blush spread across her face.
"I-I'll see you soon Naruto." Ino stuttered out just before she bolted out of the stand towards her home.
Naruto watched her leave with a smile on his face. He then turned back to his food and realized it was now cold. He quickly yelled for Teuchi to bring him a fresh bowl. Naruto just sighed as he waited for his ramen to be prepared.
"Kami now I understand why baachan drinks." Naruto muttered as he put is face in his hands.
His life was gonna get real complicated, really soon.
