Naruto's House in the Dining Room
Naruto and Naruko were eating awkwardly at the dining table sitting side by side next to each other, no one dared to say a single word. The reason being was Kushina who was sitting across from Naruto. She didn't particularly look mad, she had a blank look on her face the entire time they ate their breakfast. She didn't do anything, however both Naruto and Naruko were terrified to speak, as if her silence was the calm before a storm.
'She has to know what Naruko and I were doing, there was no one way she didn't know! I should've made Naruko wait for a more private time, not as if she would have listened. Her and Kushina didn't listen when I said we shouldn't have done this. Now I don't even know what to say right now.' Naruto was thinking how he shouldn't have done this. He needed to apologize, he just had sex with Naruko and he should've went to Kushina and atleast say something to her first. Naruko was her daughter and I just fucked her when I had done the same with her the night before.
He took a deep breath and was ready to come out and admit it and hopefully Kushina wouldn't be too mad.
!
His eyes turned wide open as he felt something pressing into his crotch, he glanced to his right to see if Naruko was grabbing him. However both her hands were above the table as she was eating. He turned to the only other person it could've been. No longer was there an unreadable face on Kushina, no it was now a foxy grin which confirmed who was pressing onto his now quickly hardening dick.
There were two things Naruto was thinking at this moment. One, she didn't seem upset with what he did with Naruko. Two, why is she doing this with Naruko right next to us!
Breaking the silence Kushina spoke up "So you two are finally going to see what teams you guys are placed in today. Are you both excited?" She says normally as if she wasn't massaging Naruto's manhood.
"Y-Yeah, hoping we're teamed up with at least someone we know" Naruto tried to talk as normal as possible. Hoping not to raise suspicion to Naruko and get caught.
"I'm hoping me and Naru-nii are in the same team, and I'm really hoping I'm not on the same team as Kiba" Naruko didn't hate Kiba however she wasn't fond of him either since he could be too much at times and didn't want to be in the same place as him for too long.
"We'll whoever you guys get teamed up with make sure you don't let personal feelings get in the way of teamwork. A shinobi's life isn't a safe one, you need teamwork to increase the chances of your survival" Kushina was saying in a serious tone to Naruko, this would have sounded like Kushina being a veteran shinobi with experience behind her words. It certainly did for Naruko. Naruto however couldn't at the moment as she continued her shenanigans under the table.
Naruto decided it would be best if he ate his food quickly so he could leave and not let the situation escalate any further. However Kushina saw him quicken the pace of his eating, realizing what he was trying to do. Smiling again that she didn't want her fun to end just yet she 'accidentally' drops her fork.
She went down to pick it up, however before she got back up she needed to just quickly do one thing. She crawled over to Naruto, and softly placed her hand on his knees to let him know she was there. And with one swift motion she grabbed the front of Naurto's pants and pulled it down to let his dick be free from it's confines. She needed to quickly get back up or else Naruko would notice something was up. She couldn't pass the chance to give his pulsing member one long lick on his entire shaft before she crawled back to her seat and sat back up.
"That took a little too long to find, guess my age is finally starting to kick in," Kushina said as she went back to eating. "It could be worse, you look really young and your age isn't even showing that much. I have so many people say that you look more like my older sister instead of my own mother. I swear I better get the same treatment when I get older" Naruko said, trying to cheer up Kushina, thinking she was actually feeling old. She was almost done eating before she noticed something.
"Naru-nii? Is something wrong, you stopped eating your food" Naruto was nervous to say the least. How the fuck was he supposed to get up with his dick out?! There was no way he could pull his pants up and shove his dick which was at full mast inside without Naruko not noticing. He had to wait for Naruko to leave, that was the only choice he ha-.
Kushina was smiling more than before now as she went back to feeling up Naruto's cock with her foot. Naruto was doing his absolute best to seem as if nothing was happening.
"N-Nothing's wrong, was just thinking if at least one of us would be with Kakashi" Kakashi always helped out the family as best as he could. He was the 4th's Hokages student and felt indebted to them, despite Kushina saying he should feel the need of being indebted to the Uzumaki family. He also was sort of a big brother like figure for both Naruto and Naruko.
Naruko finished up her food and she got up to put her dishes in the sink, "Yeah, that would be nice instead of getting someone like Guy. Not that he's bad or anything! Just that he's just too, what's the word….. Passionate. Yeah that's it, he's just too passionate for my liking is all!"
Naruko then went to the front door to put on her sandals, "I'm heading off, hurry up Naru-nii or you'll end up being late! Bye mom!" With that Naruko left the house leaving the mother and son alone.
Kushina let go of Naruto's cock and a sigh of relief came from Naruto's face that nothing escalated too much. "Thank god we didn't get caught" he said under his breath. However Kushina was still able to hear his words.
"It's not like she hasn't seen it, or it wasn't just inside her 10 minutes ago" Kushina said with a calm tone. It was a little confusing if she was actually mad about it or not. She got up from her seat and grabbed her dishes and went to the sink, swaying her hips as she did. She didn't say another word as she started washing the dishes. He got up and followed her to the kitchen, after he put his dick back in his pants of course.
"Mom I can explain, I promise I wasn't trying to-" She quickly turned around and got close to Naruto face to face. She had an understanding look to her.
"You don't need to explain yourself, I can't say I'm ecstatic to find out you're fucking my daughter but I would be a bit of a hypocrite since I fucked my son" He never said it out loud be he was always so happy when she called him her son, ever since he found out he was actually an orphan but still regarded him as family and not a stranger, it was the start of him being truly grateful to have these people to be called family and would do anything for them.
However because she viewed herself as their mother she had to make sure he knew that she wasn't actually okay with it. She wasn't a strict parent but she also didn't spoil Naruko or Naruto too much. She was for the most part nice but she needed to make sure when they did something bad that they knew that she was not okay with it. So now putting on a stern face for appearance sake she began to scold Naruto.
"That doesn't mean you're off the hook, at least me and you had sex during the night. When Naruko was sleeping. Did you even think that I wouldn't notice when I'm wide awake? I was able to hear everything! We're even trying to be discreet?!" Her stern face then became one of a surprised one.
"Wait, unless you wanted me to hear?! Oh Naruto, I never knew you were such a naughty boy" Now she was getting closer to Naruto and put a finger on his chest and moved it in a circular motion. Yeah, she wanted to scold him but man did she just want to forgive him already and maybe do some 'family bonding' instead.
'Discreet?! You were just playing with my dick under the table! And even sprung it out and gave it a lick before going back to caressing it with your foot with Naruko right next to me! Yes it felt good but that's not the point!' Naruto internally screamed but would never actually say it out loud. While growing up with the Uzumaki's he noticed a lot of times the red headed woman would say some h̶y̶p̶o̶c̶r̶i̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ contradicting things but wouldn't speak up about it.
After all he would never want to disobey Kushina nor Naruko, what they say is the truth. Whether he believed it or not is another matter.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to make it so you could hear. One thing led to another and I wasn't thinking clearly I-" Kushina cut him off by placing her lips onto his, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him deeper into the kiss. Naruto was a bit surprised but returned the kiss, if this is what she wanted from him then it was his job to comply. Kushina opened up her lips and pushed her tongue against his lips and Naruto opened his, giving her access as their tongues began to dance with one another. After a minute she pulled away from him, pressing her forehead against his.
"Listen, I like doing this with you. I want to keep doing this and much more. But Naruko, I'm not mad or disappointed. But I am confused, I never faced a problem like this. I've faced many problems since I became a shinobi, but this is definitely a first. So when you and Naruko come back home, we're gonna have a long talk about this and what will happen moving forward. Understood"
Naruto could only nod as she said this, she smiled. She grabbed Naruto's crotch one last time before letting go "Now go to school already before I make you stay home and 'help' around the house" Naruto gave a small chuckle to her joke as he made his way to the door and to the academy.
At a park near the Academy
'Well atleast Naruko got Kakashi, and she didn't end up with Kiba either. Sasuke and Sakura are both good at what they do, honestly Kakashi has quite the line up'. He was hoping he ended up one Sasuke's team but at least he's with Naruko. He always thought Naruko had a crush on Sasuke but that was put to rest because of what happened this morning. Naruto was thinking as he walked into the park and saw his teammates and new sensei in the park. His sensei said to meet up later at a nearby park in an hour as she had errands to run, once they met at the appointed time they would introduce each other.
His sensei was a woman with long black hair reaching her upper back. She had these unique looking red eyes, her make up consisted of purple eyeliner and red lipstick. She was wearing a white mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible which was red. Said blouse resembled the look of bandages however had a pattern of rose thorns on them. Her hands and upper thighs were wrapped in bandages and the konoha forehead protector on her head. She was a slender woman but definitely had curves in all the right places, her cup size had to be a D cup at least. This beautiful shinobi's name was Kurenai Yuhi.
One of his teammate's was a girl with two Chinese-style buns on her head with short bangs framing her face. Her outfit was a long sleeve, high collared white blouse with maroon edges. She had black fingerless gloves, low-heel sandals and a black forehead protector. She wears maroon, puffy hakama-style pants with the exposed parts covered in bandages. Just like his new sensei she had nice curves on her body that were quite pleasing to the eye. Her bust wasn't as big as her but a nice C cup for was familiar with her as she hangs out with Naruko quite a bit. His now teammate was called Tenten.
His last teammate is someone he's more familiar with than the other two. "Hey Hinata-chan, Ten-chan" He smiled and waved at the two, seeing as he was the last one to arrive. He came 10 minutes early but his team was already here, guess he's not the only one that likes to be late.
"H-Hello Naruto-kun" Hinata blushed while greeting Naruto, Tenten just smiled and waved as he walked over to them.
"Alright, now that we're all here we can begin. Also I'm surprised but quite pleased that you all arrived earlier. I'm not a fan of people who can't manage their time properly and arrive late" Kurenai said as she looked over to her new students. She knows of Hinata the most as she spent some of her private time with her to try and help her with her self-confidence issue. She knows about Naruto since he's the adopted son of the Uzumaki family, there are hardly many people that don't know of him. However the majority that knows him see him in an unfair light and often mistreat him.
Kurenai would at times intervene when she was there at the time the people of the village tried to do something to the boy. While she didn't view Naruto like the son she never had like she did with Hinata as she saw her as her own daughter in a figurative sense. She didn't like seeing someone get mistreated when they had nothing wrong. She's already seen terrible things as she lived her life as a shinobi, she didn't want to see more as she was living in the peaceful village of Konoha.
However if there was a stranger to her it was Tenten as this was the first time the two met, which was good odds for her as two of her students were someone she knew which wasn't even common to get one that you were acquainted with.
"So even though it seems that a majority of us know each other already I would still like to have us introduce ourselves properly. I'll go first to give you an idea of how to go about it then I'll have you guys do the same after me. My name is Kurenai Yuhi and my likes are reading and drinking wine during the night or after dinner. My dislikes are perverts and cake"
The rest went on as one would imagine, they gave their introductions and learned small things about each other but nothing new since Naruto already knew a good bit about them already. "Alright, that'll be it for now, we'll meet up at training grounds 10 tomorrow at 8am and I'll test you guys so I can gauge how strong you three are and work our way from there. You have the rest of the day to yourself, you're dismissed"
With that Kurenai shunshin out of there leaving the three teammates behind. "Want to go grab a bite to eat or hangout as our first day as a team together?" Naruto suggested it to Hinata and Tenten.
"Sorry, I promised my dad if I had spare time I would help around the shop. Tomorrow after we're done with whatever Kurenai-sensei has planned for is I'll be down if you want to though. Later!" Tenten left Naruto and Hinata alone as she went off.
"What about you Hinata-chan?" He looked at the white eyed beauty who nervously looked towards him. "I-I wouldn't mind some Ramen" Hinata was both glad and scared that she was left alone with her crush, happy because why wouldn't she want to spend time with him. Scared because she was a nervous wreck and didn't want to somehow do something and mess up this chance.
"You know Hinata-chan while I would love nothing more than to eat Ramen, we don't have to keep eating there just because of me" Naruto and Naruko have an adoration for Ramen and that's something everyone one of their friends know. Naruko is a bit carefree and doesn't really notice but Naruto knows that most of their friends choose to eat there specifically for him and his sister.
Sometimes he feels a bit guilty that their friends eat literally nowhere else because of them. He wouldn't suggest anything else if Naruko was with him so she could eat her Ramen. However if she wasn't with them he has been trying to be more vocal about that they don't have to keep choosing ramen.
"I know you love ramen Naruto, but I've gotten to grow quite fond of it so I really don't mind getting it" Hinata reassured him, Naruto's friends notice that he's been trying to suggest other places besides Ichiraku's because he felt guilty that they always ate their. They've known the boy for a long time and could tell when something was up.
They decided to indulge his suggestion but after a few times they decided to just go to Ichiraku's only. Everytime they are somewhere else the employees would 100% mess up Naruto's order and try to charge him extra. Ino and Sakura would complain and go upfront to the employee's, not worried about how vocal they were being. However the most surprising one to Naruto who was the most angered was Hinata.
While she wasn't as vocal as Ino and Sakura, she was able to make the staff terrified. She never said it but everyone could basically tell that should go bring this business down just with her glare alone. Not many dared to go against the heiress of the Hyuga clan. Naruto would always try to break up the fight, telling the girls it was an honest mistake and it's nothing to get too worked up about.
Shikamaru would always say troublesome things under his breath and offer Naruto some of his food, seeing as though those two have similar taste and more often than not ordered the same thing. The rest of the group, Kiba, Choji, and Shino would also be upset with what happened but left the girls to deal with it since they seemed happy to do it themselves. Since this kept to be a repeating occurrence of them not treating Naruto right it was decided that it'll just be Ichiraku's from now on, not telling Naruto of course.
"If that's what you want Hinata-chan, let's go" Naruto smiled as they both walked side by side to the ramen stand.
Ichiraku's Ramen Stand
Naruto and Hinata had finished eating their ramen, it was a bit awkward with just the two of them. Naruto would try to make some conversation with her but she would keep stuttering and saying simple things such as "yes" or just "okay". He said something he regretted as soon as the words left his mouth.
"Hinata-chan, do you not like hanging out with me?" Naruto's eyes turned wide as soon as he said that.
"Of course I like being with you, what makes you think I wouldn't!" She wasn't stuttering as she yelled this. She stood up as she slammed both her hands on the table.
"Sorry, I didn't actually mean to say that. Just pretend like I never said that" Naruto nervously smiled while rubbing the back of his head. 'Why the fuck did I say that?!' However Naruto's response didn't seem to satisfy Hinata.
"Naruto-kun, what made you think that I didn't like hanging out with you?" Hinata needed to know what made Naruto think this way. Not even realizing her no longer being the shy timid girl she is but really assertive right now. Seeing that she wasn't going to let go despite asking if could ignore it he decided to say why.
"It just seemed like you never really liked talking to me I guess. We always greeted each other but that's it. I can't really remember me and you having a conversation. Right now I thought we could change that but you didn't seem to want to talk. Even if we're with Naruko we would exchange a few words but that's about it. So I just thought that maybe I was the problem since you seemed to be willing to talk to everyone else" Naruto was looking away from her as he said this, afraid of the face she would make.
Naruto hated that he was afraid, he had no problem when it came from facing the people in the village that hated him, when they beat while he did nothing to resist. He wasn't afraid. He knows being a shinobi is a dangerous life with an unpleasant death for most shinobi, despite that he wasn't afraid. Yet when it comes to little things like this his heart wouldn't stop pounding, his body would feel cold and start to have trouble breathing.
Naruto couldn't see because he wasn't looking but Hinata was mad, whether it was at him or herself is something she didn't know. Was she mad that he would even think about something like that or herself for making him think that was the case.
"Naruto, you're not the problem. Believe this if nothing else. The reason I always-" Hinata stopped seaking, she started to calm herself down but as she did so she realized had just yelled at Naruto. And not only that but was she just about to reveal her feelings to him?! Taking a deep breath she sat back down.
"I-I can't say why exactly. B-But I really do enjoy s-spending time with you. Every moment I spend with you is something I've come to t-treasure" Hinata exclaimed, while she was at first loud when she spoke, she quickly started getting quieter and quieter. Making it so Naruto didn't hear the last thing she said.
"I see" Naruto smiled, relieved that she likes spending time with him. Naruto didn't think that Hinata hated him or disliked him, he didn't think any of his friends did. However, growing with people telling you that you're just a "Demon" or "Demon Container", that his so-called family only took him in out of pity. People physically hurt him at a young age seeing he deserved everything that was coming at him. It's not necessarily something that doesn't affect you.
It's because of this that there's always this voice in the back of his head that did say that his family only took him in because of pity, that his friends only put up with him because of pity and not because they actually enjoyed being with him. He always tried his best to ignore it but it's a thought that always lingers in the back of his head.
He never really told this to anyone, he didn't want to question the relationship he had with his family and friends. It would almost be like insulting them saying that he thought they were faking the way they felt about him. That's what he always told himself, but he knew the real reason was because he was afraid of hearing their answer.
But hearing what Hinata said made Naruto's life just a tad better. "Alright! We're in the same team now so we'll be talking a lot, we'll talk and talk to the point we can think back on this and laugh at how silly this was" Naruto said with a huge smile on his face.
Hinata was glad that Naruto looked happy, she realized she could no longer keep being the shy timid girl she is. He was right, they're teammates now so she needs to get used to talking to him with stuttering. And right now was the perfect time to practice, "N-Naruto-kun, do you mind if we can talk right now?"
"Sure! What do you want to talk about Hinata-chan" Now Hinata did say she wanted to talk but she didn't actually have an answer. So she said in an embarrassed tone "I don't actually know… But I do want to talk with you! I just… I just don't know what though…" She brought her hands up to cover her face as there was now a deep blush on her face. She felt so stupid! What was she even saying!
Naruto thought it was kinda funny that she wanted to talk but didn't know what she wanted to talk about, nevertheless it made his smile even wider. "Hmmm, how about what might happen on tomorrow's test? Oh, what about the time Naruko was getting scolded by Hokage-sama for painting the Hokage Monument. Or maybe something silly like wearing sandals in the house is ok but not shoes"
Hinata removed her hands from her face and tilted her head in confusion, mainly because the last thing he suggested. But she wasn't going to pass down an opportunity to talk with him now.
"O-Okay"
And so the two talked, trying to guess what Kurenia had planned for them tomorrow. About all the times Naruko got caught for all the pranks she did. And strangely enough they spent most of their time talking about why sandals are okay to wear in the house and not shoes. While Naruto was saying it's fine, Hinata was refuting him. Saying that's not proper etiquette to do such a thing. Naruto would say something silly in their arguments which Hinata couldn't help but bring her hand up to her mouth while she giggled at his silliness.
It was then Naruto realized something and brought it up, "Hinata-chan, you're not stuttering any more!" Hinata was surprised when he said that and was recalling their conversation and to her utter belief she didn't remember stuttering at all. She was just happily talking and at one point she wasn't feeling nervous. Unfortunately you can't get rid of being shy overnight.
"Y-You're right, I d-didn't notice…" Naruto immediately noticed her stuttering again, but that was fine. They had plenty of time to work on it, Hinata didn't know but her just stating she enjoyed spending time with him and that she wanted to talk to him just for the sake of wanting to. It was a moment that Naruto would recall from time to time as a fond memory. They continued to talk, and left once they finished their food and noticed it was now dark out Naruto went to walk Hinata home.
Near the Hyuga Compound
"Hinata-chan, I just wanted to thank you for today. I really enjoyed it'' They were maybe five minutes away from her house, Naruto didn't plan to drop her off right at the entrance since the last time he dropped off Hinata in Naruko's place since she had last minute plans, the Hyuga guards at the entrance weren't to please to see Naruto alone with Hinata and weren't afraid to show their displeasement. While Naruto was used to it and didn't mind it that much Hinata just wouldn't stand for it. After Hinata sent the guards away he apologized but she assured him that they were in the wrong. Thinking back now he didn't remember her stuttering at that time.
"I-It was my pleasure, I-I'm glad we were able to talk" Hinata was glad that she was able to make some progress today. There were a number of times when she wasn't stuttering anymore, however once she thought about that she wasn't and remembered that she was talking to Naruto alone did she become timid again. However she was definitely better than she was yesterday and she was happy with that.
"Hinata-chan, do you think you could keep what I asked you earlier between us?" Naruto seemed nervous as he asked her this. It's probably because he said it in a nervous manner that she was able to tell what he was referring to. Hinata knew she was visibly upset when he asked when they were eating ramen, after all she yelled at Naruto of all people. Even right now when Naruto asked if they could keep it a secret, the mere thought of remembering that moment upsetted her.
Hinata still didn't notice but when she was mad she was not the shy girl she usually was, but instead she was more assertive, well just less hesitant really. That may be why she was able to push Naruto against the wall and push both her arms on both sides of Naruto's head so he couldn't escape.
"Listen Naruto-kun, it seems like something is bothering you. I hate that you asked me that and would even think that I felt that way. You don't want people to know and that's fine. I won't pry and make you tell me why you asked that nor will I tell other people that you said that. But remember this, not me nor any of our friends hates being with you"
Naruto was shocked from the sudden push and her trapping him between her arms. He might've been enjoying the feeling of her breast against his chest. However he was too distracted from what she was telling him to even notice. Naruto noticed it earlier but when she's mad she becomes like she is now. He's not sure why, maybe it's because of how the moonlight was shining on her face or because of the sudden closeness between the two.
Her eyes that would always stare at him but then quickly look away when his gaze went towards her. They were now staring right into his own eyes just like when she yelled at him when they were eating. Hey was finally able to look at her again with her not being shy and looking away. Her pale skin which only added to her amazing looks. Those glistening lips that he wanted to lean towards. Looking at her face that was only a few inches away it was as if he just noticed.
"Beautiful" he said under his breath, normally no one would hear what he just said but Hinata was right in front of him. As if it took a few moments to register what he just said, Hinata's face that was serious quickly became overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions. Gaining a deep red blush on her face she stumbled backwards in a rush, which happened to make her trip on her own feet. Naruto however quickly went forward and grabbed her hands and pulled her towards him so she wouldn't fall. She was pulled into Naruto, her face in his chest and he let go of her once she got her footing. He started dramatically waving his arms around while trying to explain himself.
"Sorry Hinata-chan, I know you were being serious. I don't know why I said that, you were so close and couldn't but look and I guess I just never realized it and-" Naruto was rapidly saying what he was trying to explain himself but Hinata wrapped her arms around Naruto, now hugging him.
"Thank you" She whispered, loud enough so he could hear her. She moved her face away from his chest to look up at him, she was still blushing but that only made her look cute in his eyes. Naruto didn't know what was coming over him, he wanted to cup her face, lean down and capture her lips. He usually would've been thinking that he shouldn't do this. He was adamant against Kushina's and Naruko's advances towards him, sure he ended up succumbing to his lust and their desire's but he didn't purposely initiate any of those moments and tried his best resisting them. He's already in a complicated relationship with Kushina and Naruko, he really shouldn't be doing this.
Is it because he's had a taste of sex that he wasn't stopping himself now? Did he no longer care about the consequences and just wanted to delve into his desires? Or maybe he just really wanted to kiss Hinata. He didn't know which of these were the reasons but he decided to just let that be a problem for the Naruto in the near future. He lifts one hand to her face and caresses her cheek, she doesn't pull away. He lifts her face a bit more up while he moves his closer to hers. She doesn't pull away. She knows what he's going to do as she closes her eyes. Naruto moves his lips closer to hers.
They kissed.
It wasn't a heated kiss, just a simple gentle one but to the both of them it was just perfect to them. Their lips continued to move against each other for a few more seconds before they pulled away. Hinata was happy, Hinata was incredibly happy. She wanted to pinch herself to see if this was a dream but was scared to test it since she was afraid that this was a dream. Tears were at the edge of her eyes as she was simply overjoyed.
Naruto however saw that and immediately thought the worse. "H-Hinata-chan I'm so sorry! Please don't cry! I shouldn't have done that, I don't know what came over me. Was that your first kiss?! Please don't tell me that was your first kiss and I just stole it, I'm so sorry I can't believe I-"
Hinata shut Naruto up by placing her lips onto his, Naruto was confused thinking she was crying because he forced himself on her and she didn't do anything so their friendship didn't get ruined or some stupid reason like that. However those thoughts were washed away when she was the one that started this kiss. She wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck to deepen the kiss which Naruto was quick to return.
Staying like this for a good minute they pulled away again "Naruto, that was wonderful" She said to him with a smile on her face, trying to show him that she was genuinely happy and that he didn't do anything wrong.
"B-But then why were you crying?" Hinata blushed on being asked that despite them just kissing.
"N-Naruto-kun, this may be out of order to say since we already k-k-k-ki-" She tried to say kiss but just thinking that she actually did that with Naruto was making her a stuttering mess. Naruto didn't know what he should do so he just moves his hand to her cheek once more and makes her face him. "Just take a deep breath, and take your time" he gave her a reassuring smile trying to calm her.
Trying her best to urge the feeling of just going to kiss him again she takes a deep breath and calms down. Geez why is kissing him okay but saying the word kiss is much more difficult for her. As if she also just realized how weird her train of thought was she tries so say with her now found determination.
"Since we already k-kissed, I need to t-tell you Naruto-kun" Hinata looked at him as he just looked back with a smile and listened.
"N-Naruto-kun, for a couple years now I've had f-feelings for you!" She closed her eyes once she said this. This was the big moment for her. All the years of being friends with him and her future with him all depended on his answer. Hinata was scared, everyone is scared when put into this position, Naruto knows it as he himself was in it not too long ago. Now what does said boy think about what just happened.
"..."
"..."
"..."
If Hinata wasn't scared to the point of her soul about to leave her body she was now. Why wasn't he saying anything?
'Hinata-chan like me? She likes… me? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I'm not some dense MC right?! How could she have liked me? We met as kids, sure I helped a little when some kids picked on her but after that me and her never really talked. We've always just been friends of a friend type of thing. She's Hinata! The Hyuga Heiress, easily the most beautiful of the Hyuga (in his eyes), part of the most elite clan in Konoha!' Naruto wasn't saying anything because he was too busy having a mental breakdown. However he was broken out of that when Hinata decided to speak up.
"N-Naruto-kun?" She said in a weak voice, she was able to break into tears fearing that she was about to be rejected. Naruto saw this and cursed at himself, while he was having his dilemma Hinata who had just bared her feelings to him was practically just ignored.
"I'm sorry Hinata-chan" Tears now falling on her face, she turned and went to run away but not before Naruto could grab onto her wrist to keep her from leaving.
"Wait! I should have chosen something better to start off with instead of that! I meant sorry for turning into a silent idiot!" Hinata turned around back to him once hearing those words. Hoping that meant she hadn't lost her chance. "O-Okay" She said in a whisper, she wiped the tears off her face and took a deep breath again trying to calm herself down. While she wasn't crying any more, she still wasn't calm. It's kind of hard when in the situation she's in.
"It's just that, like why me? You're the Heiress of the Hyuga clan, some people even the Hyuga Princess! You're kind, smart, and beautiful. You can literally get any other guy you want so-"
"I don't want any other guy!" Naruto had literally no idea what to say. Hinata just shouted to him, her eyes were no longer the scared looking ones just a moment ago. She seemed mad again, why she kept getting mad at Naruto was something he just couldn't figure out. Though she seemed mad just a moment ago her face now had a tender look to her face.
"You probably don't remember but once we were kids I was always picked on for having these eyes. You helped me from that, I won't say that I fell for you in that moment but it was what made me meet you. I've come to learn more about you, you're a kind person despite the amount of unfair treatment that's gotten for being the Jinchuuriki. You can be stupid at times and not tell anyone that some of the villagers harassed you since you don't want to be a bother. You can be so stupid sometimes be even that is part of why you're such an amazing person. Ever since I've known you, all I saw was an amazing person that inspired me to be better. How could want anyone other than you"
Naruto was, he was. He didn't know. He was not expecting her to say that. With how the past few days have been and how today started he wasn't expecting anything like this. Is he allowed to accept it? He wants to, he really wants to. He was maybe thinking that something happened to her like what happened with Naruko and Kushina but she's not being as forceful as them, and she doesn't have the same look in her eyes like they did. But it would be bad to say yes right, he's already with something regarding Kushina and Naruko. If he had to choose between Hinata or his family he would choose family. So because of that he shouldn't think about being with Hinata if he can't put her first right? Also he would get Hinata in all sorts of trouble with her clan if she ends up with him. So he has to choose no. Simple, just say no since it's for the best. Easy-
"Naruto-kun?! What's wrong, why are you crying?!" Naruto didn't even realize tears were streaming down his face, why is he crying?
"I…. I don't know" He tried to say but he found it hard to speak at the moment. He doesn't want to say anything in fear of saying what he actually wants. He wants to say yes, he doesn't want to say no. Hinata just said all the things about him, and he was happy. Like genuinely happy, not smiling to play the role of a good son/brother to hide what's been happening with. He couldn't bring himself to tell his family about his mistreatment with the villagers. Everytime they find out they go and get revenge but they always get some form of repercussion from the civilian council.
He loved his family but they cared too much to the point they would have to face some type of consequence because of him, he couldn't let that happen so he started keeping what happened a secret from them. He wouldn't fight back because either if he did the world would have gone out and his family would know or they would exaggerate an injury he dealt making it seem worse than it actually did and his family still getting involve.
With everything that happened with Naruko and Kushina he was able to keep himself occupied but he could still remember the night where he was almost killed. He could remember the pain of the stab wounds on his body, the taste of blood and dirt in his mouth while they happily laughed as they continued their attacks on him. His body losing its warmth with his last thoughts of maybe this was the end where he finally dies. Maybe this was for the best so he wouldn't be a bother to his family. If he died would the Kyubi die, if so wouldn't that be the best for the village?
He didn't want to die, he didn't want to get hurt, he didn't want any of this but he didn't want to bother the family that took him in. Him being selfish would result in that so he couldn't, yes of course he kept all this in because it's what for the best. The night that almost killed him had traumatized him should be left alone, he lied when he said he didn't remember who did it. They weren't regular civilians but shinobi who could have a wide amount of connections. He had to just ignore like everything else since it was for the best.
Just like he had to turn down Hinata, this was a chance for something for him to be happy. Who would dare go against the Hyuga clan. But that was only wishful thinking, the Hyuga clan didn't like Hinata hanging out with him as is and would most likely do many things to try to make Hinata get away from him. Just as they think her not being with Naruto was the best for the Clan, Naruto was thinking Hinata not being with him was the best for Hinata.
'Ah if only she was clanless like Sakura, I could've had a chance of romance' Naruto jokingly thought to himself trying to raise his own spirit. Wiping the tears off his face, he realizes that he was silent for quite some time but Hinata was giving him the time he needed and just stayed by his side. 'She really is amazing, such a shame. Whoever she ends up with will be one lucky dude.'
"Hinata-chan, thank you. I really mean it, you have no idea what those words you said mean to me" She looked at me with a smile, I really hate that I have to do this but it's what's best for her.
"Hinata-chan I don't-"
"Well if it isn't Naruto. And looks like he's with the missing Hyuga! The clan has been searching for you Lady Hinata" A group of men showed up, a lot of men who appeared to be from the Hyuga clan. Naruto could recognize them since they are the ones Hinata always argued with when it came about Naruto. However the one that he despised seeing the most was the one that spoke out loud to them with an not so nice smile on his face.
