Chapter 2

Arrival & Pent up emotions
Outside of Konoha

On the horizon of a beautiful day a man and his ward approached the gates of leaf. Sun setting in the background one can’t help but reminisce about his past and future. Although for both of the travelers, their past are not the most enjoyable, but their future is looking bright.

“Wow” Naruto mutters, now just seeing his home for the first time in years.

‘Well it’s still the same dump you left’ the fox said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

‘Ahhh…you’ve miss this place as much as me’ Naruto thought, mentally mocking the ancient demon in him.

‘Yah just a little sad that this hell hole is still here, I’m still going to tear it down’ the fox said ‘but first it would be nice to see pale eye’s’ providing Naruto with an image of Hinata.

‘Baka kitsune … you will never get out and also her names Hinata ok H-I-N-A-T-A” Naruto said treating the century old fox as if it were only 4 years old. Still showing the childish nature he could not get rid of after all these years.

‘Whatever kit all I know is there is something special about that girl …oh and heads up’ the fox warns right as Naruto walks into the red gates of Konoha. “Baka kitsune...” Naruto mutters cursing the fox for distracting him.

“Hey kid what did I say about talking to yourself, your back in civilization now people will think you crazy ... eh, or crazier.” Jiraiya says as a familiar chunnin jumps down to greet them.

With a yawn the chunnin asks “State your business and … wow is that you Naruto”

“Shikamaru!” Naruto yelled grabbing Shikamaru in a death grip, earning him a “troublesome” form the lazy Nin.

“It’s good to see you Naruto, go right ahead I’ll see you in a little I got guard duty.” The shadow user statedwith a yawn.

“Wow the powerful Chunnin Nara Shikamaru is on guard duty ... lucky you.” Naruto said laying the sarcasm on pretty thick.

“Yah well it lets me watch the cloud’s” ‘And think about Temari’

“Alright, later Shikamaru,see ya later.” Naruto yells as he runs to catch Jiraiya.

“So where to?” Naruto asked while pulling out his CD player. Popping in a CD labeled The Fall of Troy: Doppelganger.

Listening to the music he looks around the city as the lyric play in his ears.

None of this has changed, when we all look the same.
Addicted to the one that left you, we can't forget you.
We colonized in war, predicting many more.
Addicted to the hand that fed you, you can't remember.

‘Hmmm… Still the same Konoha’

“Oi, brat listen, Kami, knows why I got u that devise. You never pay attention anymore… or well you never did to start did you?” The very irritated Toad-sannin quipped.

“Well seeing as how I paid for most of the mission and did most of your ‘Research’ I think I earned it … Hey was that a joke about me being slow?” the equally irritated Naruto replied.

“Forget it, and stop yelling so I can think.” The sannin said in a more mellow tone.

“Well I, guess we should see… Tsunade…” but Jiraiya could not finish, he was in awe at the sight of…

“Is that Baa-Chan up there on the monument?” Naruto yelled in disbelief as they enter the Hokage tower.

“Yeah” Jiraiya says “and its so life like just like Tsunade normal stone faced ugly mu…” but was cut off by a fist in the face sending him through the doors of the Hokage office.

“Thank you, LECH, for getting the door” Tsunade said about to deliver another hit to her former team mate when she notices the teen standing next to Jiraiya’s twitching body. “Naruto! It’s you, Kami, look how you’ve grown it’s so good to see you.”

“It’s good to see you to Baa-Chan.” Naruto says returning the hug to the closest thing he ever had to a mother.

“Ok, enough chit-chat tell me how training was and treat it as a debriefing.” Tsunade now sitting in her chair anxiously awaiting the story they have.

“Well I’ve gotten stronger and Ero-sensei has taught me so many new jutsu. But I can’t stay I got things I need to do before it gets late.” Naruto say looking out the window to see it was already dark.

“Fine, I wouldn’t want to keep you, but before you go …” Tsunade pulled out a ring of keys and an envelope which she hurled, at the blonde already at the door, yelling “catch.”

Eyeing the keys Naruto asks “What the hell are these.” Looking at the envelope and keys, Tsunade just threw at him.

“Well seeing as how that hell hole you live in now will be demolished I’m giving you this for a new residence, and that” gesturing towards the envelope “is your pay for the mission.”

“Hmmm…Thanks Baa-Chan I need this money I forgot thing cost money. I’ve really been gone awhile.” He says with a hand behind his head and a sheepish grin on his face. “Well, see ya.” And with that he was gone leaving the two sannin to talk about what they are going to do.

“So, what are we going to do?” Tsunade asks pulling out the bottle of sake from under her desk.

“Well, there is only one thing we can do. Akatsuki is still hunting for him so we have to get him out of Konoha, but it can’t be suspicious.” Jiraiya said taking the warm sake and sipping it down.

“Hmmm…well we are going to have to send him to the Oasis.” Tsunade said

“Good idea… but we’ll have to get the others too.” Jiraiya said in a very serious tone.

Streets of Konoha

Naruto slowly made his way down the busy street, and his mind in utter turmoil. ‘What now, where is this house and where is Hinata’ Naruto thought all seemed to melt away at the mention of the pale eyed girl. ‘I wonder if she’s change, I hope she missed me … oh crap I still got to take her for ramen I got to tell her …but where would I find her’ just then he spotted none other then Sakura, the girl he had a crush on, the closes thing he had to a sister.

“Sakura!” Naruto yelled at his old teammate.

Seeing this tall man running at her Sakura immediately got ready for the worst, but when he hugged her that was it. She pulled back and gave the creep one shot right to his orange clad stomach. ‘Wait…Orange?’

“Naruto?” was all the medic nin was able to force out.

“Well, it’s good to see you too.” Naruto made out between coughs.

“Wow it is you” Quickly dropping her bag of ice cream and picking up the fallen boy to give him a hug.

“Wow your back and look at how tall you are this is great. It’s good to see you after all these years.” ‘Hmmm…and I know a certain girl who would be so happy to see you right now. She could us the boost in confidence’

“Hey, Naruto”

“What Sakura?”

“Well I was wondering if you would like to come to my house for a while.” ‘Now I got him he’d never turn down an opportunity to be with me, and then I can cheer up Hinata. Perfect’ But Sakura was brought out of her scheming when Naruto said

“Sorry, Sakura, but I got plans I made a promise to someone special and I never go back on my word. Bye and thank anyhow.” And Naruto was off to find Hinata, leaving a very confused Sakura behind. ‘Wow, he just ditched me for someone else that must be one important person.’

Sakura picked up her bag and walked back to her house still a little confused.

Sakura’s House

The moment she opened the door she was hit with a pillow.

“About time forehead girl, that ice cream is probably melted by now.” Said a very annoyed Ino.

“Yeah what took you?” Asked a very intrigued Ten Ten.

“Who cares I still want an answer about methods…” Ino shot back at Ten Ten.

“Well I liked it and … is it just me or did you guys think there was something familiar about the characters.” Ten Ten asked looking at Hinata.

“Sakura …” Hinata started to shake Sakura’s shoulder when she finally came out of her trance.

“Sorry I was just thinking…” Sakura started

“About what Forehead girl.” Ino said already opening a carton of cookie dough ice cream.

“Well Ino-pig” Sakura spat “I ran into Naruto on the way back.”

“WHAT?!” the girls yelled

“Yah he was just walking down the street and I asked if he wanted to come over here, and he said he had to find someone…” Sakura said trailing of at the end.

“Wow sure it was Naruto” Ten Ten started “I mean I don’t think he would have turned down a invitation from you.”

“Well he said something about a promise… that this person was special.” ~BAM~! Hinata feinted and hit the ground.

“Wow, I guess the shook of Naruto being back was too much for her.”

“Or it was something entirely different.” Ino said with a knowing smile.

Streets of Konoha

‘Damn it’s getting late and I still haven’t found her’ Naruto had been searching for some time after his run in with Sakura. But to no avail, he just couldn’t find Hinata. He was starting to feel really down, when he rounded a corner and ran straight into, not the Hyuuga girl but the Hyuuga boy, Neji.

"Uhhh ... Neji?!" Naruto exclaimed happy to see his friend after so long. "Wow it's good to see you how have you been?"

"Ahhh ... Naruto, oh hey I’ve been fine, but more important how are you?" Neji asked with a little excitement in his voice.'Hinata's going to be mad when she finds out who I met.'

“I’m fine, the training with Ero-sensei help I got so much stronger." Naruto said flexing his muscles in a childish manor. But suddenly remembers who he had been looking for, for the last 20 minutes quickly asked Neji. "Ahh ... hey Neji, Do you know where Hinata is?"

Now being one of the brightest and most gifted in the Hyuuga clan and in most of Konoha, Neji was not used to being surprised. But, Kami, Neji's mind was in overload wonder what Naruto wanted.

"I haven't seen her at the clan house all day, but I think she's at Sakura's house with Ten Ten and Ino." Neji replied still tiring to figure Naruto out.

"Really, Thanks Neji I’ll see you later and thanks so much." And in a flash Naruto was gone, to the same location he left a bewildered Sakura, leaving an equal confused Neji.

On the Hokage Monument

"WHAT?!?! Your kidding right there is now way in hell!" The Blue man yelled not believing his ears. (Or what ever he's got)

"Kisame, I'm almost positive.... there are two now and in the same location this is to good to be true." The stoic man with red eye exclaims with a hint of excitement in his voice.

“Well, Itachi, If it’s luck, the lottery or one of our birthdays, I don’t give a shit lets get ‘em. I mean the boss will shit himself if we bring two instead of the one brat.”

“In Time Kisame, but for now let us watch I have and odd feeling something is going to change.” And with that the two figures on the monument disappeared like they were never there in the first place.

In Sakura’s House

“Mmm… Naruto-kun…” the young kunoichi moaned as she awakened to find herself in a very, very pink room. ‘Sakura most have moved me in here when I fainted. But why I haven’t done that in year’s… oh it was because Naruto is coming to … see… me…’ Blotting up right in the plush bed, the memories of what Sakura had said come flooding back to her. “H-he’s c-coming to s-see me, he even turned down Sakura.” The last bit of her joyous speech done with no trace of a stutter.

‘Little one …’

Hinata’s eye’s widened in horror realizing it was the same voice as before, but how? Looking around the room and finding nothing she was about to get up and leave when it cam again.

‘Little one you must listen I’m still weak. But I will be with you soon…’

Now all, but calm, Hinata activated her Byukugan to search ever inch of the area. Only to find the nothing, but…

~Knock, Knock~

Hinata turns to the door, to see it open and the girls all coming in to see her.

“Well it’s about time I thought you’d never get up.” Ino said with an annoyed look on her face.

“G-gomen, Ino I didn’t mean to …” Hinata started only to be cut off by Sakura.

“Ahhh… just ignore Ino-pig she is just in a bad mood since I finished all the hot fudge.” Sakura say’s grinning at the blonde at the door.

“Sooo…” Ten Ten began with a knowing grin on her face. “Why’d you feint you‘ve gotten better over the last couple of year’s and it’s only when someone mentions a certain blonde that you do that.” Causing everyone to turn and laughing when they notice the pale eyed kunoichi try to hide under the covers.

“Ahhh … leave poor, little Hinata alone we can just talk about something else…. Like Icha Icha.” Sakura say to Ten Ten and Ino signaling to continue their pervious conversation.

“Yah, good idea” Ino says with a manically grin on her face. “Is it just me or in Methods, does it seem a little similar to someone we might know?” turning to look at Hinata, causing her to retreat more into the covers.

“Oh yeah I’ve always wonder who Miki and Ryu were based after,” slowly putting out in the obvious what all the girls were thinking. “Maybe it’s based on someone’s life or their dream’s…”

At this point Hinata wanted nothing more to just disappear, this was so embarrassing. Ok, so maybe reading the dirty books, like Kakashi, was embarrassing in the first place, but this was a whole new level of embarrassment.

In the book Methods the sequel to Tactics, from the ever so famous Icha Icha series, there is a couple that is used a lot. Now it wasn’t the dirty things the couple did that were embarrassing, in fact that was Hinata’s favorite part, but it was more of who they were. It begun with a certain boy called Ryu, a tall, blonde, teenage ninja with a series of scars on his cheeks. Now Ryu finds that he is in love with a girl named Miki, a young kunoichi with pale skin and blackish-blue hair and very distinctive pupil less eyes. Once these two find their love for each other they would go through many dirty ideas that could only be imagined by a teenage boy, or a girl who was deeply in love. Needless to say these were pretty much Hinata’s dreams and darkest desires published for the world to see, it was like who ever wrote this knew how she felt …. Or felt the same way.

Now as for the other kunoichis they all love to do this. This was so wrong, but so right, they all hated to tease Hinata, but come on this was such a good opportunity. Basically everyone knew Hinata like Naruto it was kind of obvious, well to most. ‘Baka.. I can’t believe he still is clueless …hmmm maybe I should lend him a copy of my Methods maybe then he’ll get some Idea’s and Hinata will get a lot more then idea’s’ the pink haired medic Nin was jarred from her thoughts as the doorbell rang.

“Hmm ... wonder who that could be.” Sakura started only to turn to Hinata with a wicked grin on her face. “Maybe its Naruto, maybe he decided to take me up on my offer, Hmmm, you know what maybe we should ask him what he thinks of Methods.”

Never one to miss an opening, Ino caught on and quickly added to the elaborate joke on the young Hyuuga. “Well let’s go see maybe ‘Ryu’ wants to meet a ‘Miki’ of his own.” And with a wink and a quick laugh all three girls left Hinata there in shock and bewilderment. ‘Oh Kami, what if it is him, oh no they’re going to show him the book. I have to stop them’ But before Hinata could leave she notice the window was opened. ‘Open? Did Sakura open it or was it…’

Downstairs

“You know it’s not going to be Naruto.” Ten Ten interjects getting a groan from the other two kunoichi’s.

“Yah we know, but come on you know that was fun she is probably up there now already feinted just thinking about what he might do.” Sakura protests, not wanting to stop her fun yet.

“Yah she probably has such a big blush, blood is not getting anywhere else in her body.” Ino said with an evil smile.

As the girls reach the door the heard a small bark, confused Sakura pulls the door open slightly to reveal a small puppy.

(Cue cheese girls-acting-like-idiots-over-dog-scene ACTION!)

“Oh look at him He’s so cute. Yes you are, yes you are.” Ino Screams, and grabs the puppy to glomp it in a hug.

“Ahhhh… let me pet him he is so adorable. I just wuv him!” Ten Ten yelled quickly wanting to hold the puppy.

But before Ten Ten could get the dog it ~Poofed~ away leaving 3 slightly confused kunoichis and a letter. Sakura Picked up the letter only to have the confusion leave her and be replaced with anger. “That baka, should have known look.” Sakura spat and handed the letter to Ino and Ten Ten.

Dear Sakura, Ino and Ten Ten,
Hope you enjoyed the show, but it was only a joke. Sorry I’ll try and make it up to you guys, but I need a diversion.
P.S Don’t worry about Hinata-Chan I’m only borrowing her.
Heheh,
Naruto

The kunoichis all look at one another with the words “I’m only borrowing her” ringing clearly.

“OH SHIT.” They yelled and ran up the stairs to find an empty room with no Hinata and an open window.

“Wow did that just happen…” Ino said with a tone of disbelief in her voice.

“I’m going to kill him when I find him. That baka breaking into my house.” Sakura said in a very pissed tone.

“Hmmm…guys does this seem a little familiar.” Ten Ten said tossing them a copy of Methods.

“No”

“Freaking”

“Way”

The page Ten Ten opened up to was page one and chapter 1 and it said
Methods
Ch1
‘Snatch’ and Grab
(I’m sooooo sorry for the awful joke couldn’t resist)

On a Rooftop 5 minutes earlier

Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
she wonders why I'm always in a good mood.

Killin' time before she struts her stuff,
She needs support and I've become the crutch.

She'll never know how much she means to me.

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,

Turning off his CD player and removing the CD marked Billy Talent II, Naruto looks at the house with the girl, he has thought about for the last 3 years, in it.

“Well the easy part is done now I just need to get her.” Naruto said to no one in particular.

But with a Demon in you there is no privacy ‘Kit this is so good do it like your first idea.’ The fox boomed with a chuckle in its voice.’

‘What …’

‘Oh kit, you disappoint me, I thought you would remember your first night with only thought of her and ‘The Five Knuckle Shuffle’ all by yourself. That’s how it all began you having your little dreams of her and’

‘Okay, Okay stop. I got it, and yeah that seems fitting. I pray Hinata won’t be mad but I got to see her.’

‘Hey kit what if she reads the book or the other ones. You will be in deep shit.’

‘Nah none of them would, they all hate Perverts.’

‘Well they better never find out about Volume 9 and Methods’ the fox said with a singsong quality to his voice.

‘No shit but still I don’t think Hinata would read it at least.’

‘Yah, but you never know…Hey did you hear something’

‘No did you’

‘No forget it and get in there that shadow clone is nearly out.’

‘Oh good point alright later’ and with that Naruto leapt to the side of the house and climbed up to the only window with a light on. As he peered though the window there she stood. His breath caught in his throat. He had never seen someone this beautiful, the little girl he had grown up with was gone and now there was only the strong woman she had become. Not willing to wait any longer to see her he quickly opened the window. With in a second Naruto quickly snaked his way into the room with out being seen by Hinata. ‘Hah Prankster king is back, I never lost my touch,’ But in his haste he forgot to shut the window.

As soon as she noticed the window he panicked and grabbed her quick, but gently so not to hurt her and jumped out the window and to a near by roof where he put her down.

With in second she dropped into a fighting stance and was ready to take on anyone. But what she didn’t expect was the boy she loved to walk out of the shadows. Her Breath caught in her throat audible enough to make Naruto cringe. ‘Damn now she’s going to hate me.’

“N-n-naruto-K-k-kun?”

‘God she is still cute as ever, same old Hinata-Chan’ but he was snapped back to reality as he saw she was shaking.

“Oh, Hinata-Chan, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scary you it’s just that I still got to take you for ramen and you needed to tell me something and I got stuff I need to tell you too.” He said realizing that he just blurted all that out and was not sure if she got all of it.

But actually Hinata couldn’t take it all that had just happened, the kidnap, Naruto seeming strangely nervous and the fact he called her –Chan. It was too much for her, after not seeing him for over three years she threw all he shyness away and ran up and hugged him.

It took Naruto a second to recover, ‘since when is Hinata this brave… wow she is so warm too, I wish I could stay here for ever.’

But that was only wishful thinking as Hinata snapped back to her senses and feinted in his arms.

With a chuckle Naruto sat down on the roof, Hinata still in his arms and muttered “Hinata what am I going to do with you.” Naruto said just trying to joke only to hear.

‘Damn, Kit, you stupid… well you are, but come on I got some idea’s’ sending Naruto some mental images of him and Hinata doing some rather interesting things. This caused Naruto to gush blood from his nose and pass out with Hinata still in his arms.

‘Damn maybe next time.’ The fox said hopefully. ‘But Ahhh... Ain’t they cute?’

‘Yes, yes they are…’ the ominous voice said trailing off at the end.

‘What, HOLY SHIT…’


What could it be that is so scary it scares a demon?

Why is Akatsuki here?

Who are the ‘Others’ Jiraiya was talking about?

Why is the Author using such a bad cliché?

Why am I asking YOU?
