Nightmare and its consequences ...

"gahhh I can take ramen now!" Naruto said with a yawn. "I still have some in the closet should I do something?" Naruto grinned. "Sure! Um ....... you Neji? Ehh you know ... I've been pretty broke lately and couldn't pay my bill for my apartment ... Now I've been kicked out and I don't know where I'm going Now should! Could you maybe take me in for a while? Just for a while ... "" Sure ... all right. You can stay here as long as you want ... "The blonde smiled. "Thanks Neji! I owe you something!" Neji smiled back. "No, really not! Shall I bring you something else? A noodle soup or something?" Naruto shook his head and said: "No, no! This is enough for me!" After the Uzumaki had finished his soup, he asked the long-haired one : "And ... what are you still doing today? Are you going anywhere tonight?"
Neji shrugged. "Actually, I had nothing in mind. And uh you?" Naruto shook his head. "Somehow I don't understand you ..." "huh? What ... do you mean?" The Uzumaki looked at the ground. "I ... I mean ..... so Hinata is ..... and I don't understand how you take it that way." Neji didn't know how to react at that moment. I am Hinata! I am not death but ... rather in another body! But how do I make that understandable to someone? the long-haired puzzled to himself until Naruto pulled him out of his thoughts. "Neji? Everything okay?" The addressed nodded. "You know .." Neji started. "There is so much crazy in the world ... Would you ... believe if a boy told you that he was really a girl who died on a mission and was reborn in the boy's body?" Naruto looked puzzled at Neji. "Of course not! You can't do that at all!"

"Well ... since you don't believe it anyway ..." Neji sighed. He was hoping Naruto would believe the whole thing. Otherwise Naruto always believes in ghosts and other crazy things.
There is probably nothing to close ..... thought the brown-haired one.
"How did you come up with it? What does that have to do with Hinata? Does that have anything to do with her at all?" Naruto asked after a while. Neji wondered what to answer. He couldn't have told Naruto that Neji, i.e. he, actually is Hinata! He would put him in the trap immediately. "Oh that has ... nothing to do with her ... that ... just occurred to me ... so spontaneous!" The rest of the evening the two 'boys' had hardly spoken to each other. Around 10:00 p.m. Neji went to sleep. Just as the long-haired man almost fell asleep, there was a soft knock on his room door. "Yes?" Neji muttered sleepily. The door opened. "Um Neji, I ... I can't sleep .." Naruto said a little embarrassed. Half asleep, Neji replied: "Why not? Otherwise it worked well ..."Naruto nodded. Actually the blonde had slept like a rock, but tonight he felt so ... left alone.
"Should I put a mattress here so you don't feel so alone?" asked the brown-haired and without waiting for an answer, Neji got up from his bed and got a mattress from under the bed. “I'll just wait and get a blanket and pillow!” When the bedchamber for Naruto was finished, the two went to sleep.

In the middle of the night Neji woke up from a whimper. "Naruto? Is what?" No answer came from the Uzumaki. Only a low whimper could be heard.Apparently Naruto is sleeping!stated the white-eyed man. "mhm ... Nh! N-no let ... let her! Go away!" Naruto muttered anxiously in his sleep.Naruto has a nightmare ... the poor .....And already the blue-eyed man began to mumble incomprehensible things again in his sleep. "No! Hi-hinata don't go! Hinata !!! AHHH!" Naruto woke up from his nightmare screaming. "Naruto! Everything okay? That was just a nightmare! Calm down!" Neji sat down next to Naruto on the mattress. “Do you want to talk about it?” The blond nodded slightly and he noticed that tears welled up in his eyes. "I ... I ... dreamed of her! About ... Hinata .... Me and her ... were in a meadow and suddenly ... we were attacked! And then Hinata was kidnapped, and actually I wanted to help her but ... it didn't work. Then suddenly Tsunade appeared and said to me that ... that is Hinata's death! She then said: 'It was your fault that she was dead and that Sasuke was at Orochimaru They left only because of you ... "Tears flowed down Naruto's cheeks. "That was so bad! Kiba ... Kiba said, Hinata would have loved me! Even if she didn't want it, I had to avenge her! Kiba had tried to keep me from doing it, but now there is no other way ..." At the moment it was Naruto totally irrelevant that Neji, WHO NEJI HYUUGA, saw him cry. Naruto didn't care if Neji would think he was a wimp now.

"hey ... calm down! You don't have to avenge anyone at all! It's not your fault that Hinata is dead and that Sasuke went to Orochimaru!"
The long-haired one put his hand on the Uzumaki's shoulder. "It'll be all right ..." "Try getting some sleep okay?" Naruto nodded and went to sleep. Only Neji stayed up and thought about Naruto's dream. Why did Naruto miss Hinata so much? Could it be that Naruto had the same feelings as Hinata? No certainly not! Neji protested and went back to his bed. Despite all this, he did not fall asleep. Suddenly he wasn't tired at all ... But tomorrow would be a busy day! Tomorrow Neji was supposed to go to Tsunade and that means he would get a mission! After a while Neji closed his eyes and tried hard to fall asleep, which he succeeded after a while. The next morning, Naruto wasn't at Neji's apartment.Instead, there was a note on the kitchen table. When the Hyuuga read the note, his blood ran cold. The letter said:

Dear Neji,
thank you for your help!
You're a really nice friend and I don't know how I can ever make it up to you that I was allowed to live with you!
If you read this note, I'll be gone! That means that I left Konoha! I found out where to find Hinata's killer and I want to avenge her! I know that sounds like Sasuke now, but I'm definitely not going to the bad guys! Anyway, please let me go and don't worry about me!
When I'm back in Konoha, I'll find my own apartment, pick up the rest of my things from you, and come and see you every now and then!

Kind regards, Naruto Uzumaki.

Neji had no idea what to do now. The doctor had told Naruto shouldn't make any physical exertion because of the wound on his head. It could ignite or burst! In no time at all, Neji ran to Tsunade to tell her about the incident.
