It had always been clear that she would become a Kunoichi. It was unusual for women to make such decisions when they actually had to take care of the family ... Her best friend had also decided to follow the path of the ninja.
So was it a coincidence that they met? Was it really a coincidence that they were put into a common group? Even though she was young, she knew that something big was about to happen.
In the 16th century it was not uncommon for several ninja villages to be found in the areas of Iga. But only the best ninjas were allowed to live outside of the village. The highest commandment: to protect innocent people who lived in the village.
Although the Shinobis were aware that they might die the next day, they lived just like everyone else in the village. But emotions were out of place during a mission. A ninja was never allowed to show his feelings.
How should you confirm your affection for your great love when he was only busy with his training outside of a mission?
It was one of those days that couldn't have been hotter. While Sakura and Hinata looked for a shady spot, Sasuke and Naruto trained like crazy. Both had a goal. They wanted to give everything for their dreams, to be invulnerable and to become the strongest ninja in the village.
While the two Shinobis hit each other's heads, Sakura and Hinata had a special conversation.
"And why haven't you told him yet? You have nothing to lose, and apparently you get along really well."
"It is. I don't want to endanger our friendship by telling him how I feel. I still don't understand how you could convey your feelings to Sasuke."
"In the beginning I had exactly the same thoughts as you. I always thought to myself 'You can't do that anyway' and 'He'll just turn you away' but to my surprise it was completely different.At first he just looked at me with his gaze - you know this one, where no one can say what he's thinking - and suddenly I could feel his lips on mine. It was just amazing. ", enthused Sakura about her first kiss with Sasuke.
"I don't think Naruto would react 'like that'. After all, he's ... Naruto. That just doesn't suit him. He has other things on his mind than getting into a relationship with his teammate anyway."
"I've known Naruto for years, just like I know you. You know that he trusts me with so many things, and if not me, then Sasuke. Believe me, he really likes you. Ask him later if you don't have a little one Want to take a walk around the village. I'm sure he won't say 'no'. "
So they ended their conversation. It was clear to Hinata that she would have to speak to him. He wouldn't come by himself.
After a good hour, both of them were exhausted and sat down with their teammates. Sasuke dropped next to Sakura and Naruto right next to him. With a wink, Sakura wanted to reassure Hinata. Surely she couldn't pinch again ?!
While Sasuke attacked his girlfriend, Naruto leaned back against the tree and had to grin slightly. It's funny. His best friend and best friend were a couple. He was a bit jealous, but he granted both of them their happiness. The two really deserved their love for each other after all the hardships they had endured.
He was torn from his thoughts when he realized that someone had stood in front of him.
"You, Naruto? Could you come with me?"
She pointed with a look at the couple and wanted to make it clear to him that they should rather leave the two of them alone.
"Listen, Sasuke. Let's finish training for today and take care of your girlfriend."
Without breaking the deep kiss, Sasuke raised a hand and answered his best friend."You wanted to speak to me?" Asked Naruto, slightly surprised.
Was there a reason she wanted to talk to him?
"Well. Actually I wanted to ask you something," she said softly.
Naruto almost didn't understand her words, but when he called the sentence into his head a second time, he understood her words.
"And what is it exactly?"
"Actually, I wanted to ask you if you would like to accompany me on a walk. Of course you don't have to do that, it was just a question."
"Of course I'll come with you. Would be boring for you if you had to go out alone."
A slight grin formed on his features when he saw the young woman's face blush.
Both started running. As usual. There was just no reason to blush and she really wasn't red anymore. Instead, she relaxed around him and just enjoyed spending time with her crush.
When the two were outside the village, Naruto spotted a larger meadow from a distance. Immediately he had to smile. Yes, he wanted to go there now. Find a shady spot and talk to Hinata. He thought she was a really good listener and a nice young woman too.
Hinata was so absorbed in her thoughts about finally being alone with Naruto that she was startled when she suddenly felt something on her hand. But she couldn't draw her attention to it for long, because suddenly she was pulled along and only then noticed that Naruto had taken her hand and started walking.
"Come on Hinata!"
A slight smile played on her lips and she willingly let Naruto pull her along.
For a few minutes now they had been lying in silence next to each other in the cool grass, which was shaded by a tree. The young woman had her eyes closed and was able to perceive the various scents and the noises of the surroundings a lot better."You know, Hinata ..."
When Naruto spoke to her, she opened her eyes and turned her head to him.
"... when I see Sakura and Sasuke turtling, then ... I don't really know, but I think I'll get jealous at the sight. Can I even be? I mean, the two are my best friends and it's not fair to both of them. I don't mean to say that I don't allow the two of them to be happy together, but ... when we go somewhere together I feel out of place and neglected. "
"I think..."
Naruto, who was looking up at the sky the whole time, now looked over at his teammate and was a bit amazed. The look in her eyes was different from the one he knew from her.
"I think you can have such thoughts. After all, these are your best friends. Before the two were together, it was very different between you. You all fooled around with each other and experienced many beautiful things. Now that they are together, want They of course have more time for themselves, want to get to know each other better. You feel out of place because they are just a couple. You feel neglected because the two of them just want to be alone, just want to spend time together. You wish for yourself that you have someone who embraces you like the two of them do. Hence the jealousy. I understand you well, Naruto ... "she said softly, but he could understand every single word.
But one thing was already on his mind.
"Tell me, Hinata. Did you fall in love? Did you have someone in mind when you said that? Do you feel neglected by Sakura too?"
She looked at him in surprise. She would have answered his questions with ease, but ... was she ready? Could she reveal herself to him now?
"Of course I feel a little neglected by Sakura. After all, she is my best friend.Yes, I would like someone to hug me the way I can see them both. And yes, I'm in love, but who ... maybe I'll tell you another time. "she said softly.
No. She couldn't tell him now. It was just way too early.
She sat up and looked at the sky. Funny. There really wasn't a cloud to be found.
"Do you actually know that you've gotten really pretty in the last few years?"
Instantly she turned red. Did he actually know what he had just said? Her heart was beating a lot faster than usual and the tingling in her stomach got a lot more intense. But then she put on a slightly offended expression.
"Does that mean I was ugly?"
Before she knew it, Naruto had jumped up and was laughing in his stomach.
"Really. What do you think of me?" He asked, still laughing.
"That you are a bully and totally childish!", She replied, still slightly offended.
"Oh yes?"
Before she could even react, he crouched down next to her and tickled her. After a few seconds he let go of her and straightened up again.
"You will atone for that, Naruto!", She played angrily, also straightened up and ran after the young shinobi.
He tried to hang her, but to his misfortune she couldn't be shaken off. After two minutes the young woman was still running after him and he thought if she was really serious. Unfortunately for him, he saw the stump too late, was just able to keep his balance and he actually thought he was saved. In the next moment he found himself in the grass. Beside him lay Hinata, who was faintly red.
"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry ..." she mumbled, embarrassed.
"Oh, not so bad ..." he answered her quietly.
He couldn't say more, because he looked straight into her eyes and she into his.He had never noticed before what an extraordinary, but also totally beautiful, eye color she was.
She couldn't utter a word either. It threatened to sink into his eyes ... Infinite blue, which gave away all emotions.
Before they knew it, their lips were on each other's lips.
It was strange. She had hardly dared to ask him if he would go with her on the walk and now ... Now they were kissing.
Her eyes reflected a slight shock, but when she noticed that he was keeping his eyes closed and enjoying the kiss, she also closed her eyes and surrendered to her feelings completely.
She had never felt such happiness and he was overwhelmed by these feelings. He never dreamed that it would be so beautiful.
Hinata was half lying over the blond-haired man. Both felt each other's rapid heartbeat and apparently enjoyed every single second.
As they released their kiss, the young Kunoichi looked up dreamily at Naruto. Now she had the courage to say what she was feeling, even if he wouldn't return her feelings after all.
"Naruto ... the one I love ... that's you.", She whispered in his ear.
She was sure she was jeopardizing their friendship, but then they would have
