Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ After a Midnight Meeting ❯ A look at the Future ( Chapter 7 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The next few weeks were quiet for Naruto and Hinata. They trained as always, lived together, shopped together. Not a lot came along to bother them. Neji left them alone, but still held his normal animosity. Kiba had become more of a brother to Hinata, and they had even gone to his house for dinner a few times.
One morning Naruto awakened to the pleasant sight of Hinata’s peaceful sleeping face. He kissed her forehead and got dressed, she began stirring as he began to descend the stairs.
He began frying up some sausage and hash browns. Soon enough the smell permeated the whole house and drove Hinata downstairs.
“how are you doing today Hinata?” Naruto asked and smiled. Hinata was wearing her little black nightgown.
“its wonderful Naruto” she walked up and kissed him softly on the lips. They held each other while the sausage and hash browns sizzled. Hinata nuzzled into Naruto’s chest.
Soon enough, breakfast was ready, they filled their plates and sat on the couch next to each other. Hinata leaned into Naruto who laid back with her in his arms.
Naruto took a bit of sausage and held it in front of Hinata’s lips. She took it in her teeth gently and pulled it out of his hand. She did the same, letting Naruto suck on her finger a little.
They kept on feeding each other until breakfast had been eaten. Naruto picked up the plates to rinse them and brush his teeth. Hinata hurried up the stairs to get into the shower first.
Naruto placed the dishes next to the sink and ascended into the bathroom. He opened the door and saw Hinata in the shower, her nude form was blurred by the etched and frosted glass window. So she looked more like a mosaic than a girl.
On the other side of the window, Hinata blushed hard. She knew that Naruto could not see her nude body in any detail, it was the fact that he might join her…not that she would mind, however.
Naruto quietly brushed his teeth and hummed, waiting for Hinata to come out from the shower.
“Naruto, could you throw me my towel?” asked Hinata.
“sure” Naruto tossed Hinata’s white towel over the glass door. She quickly dried herself and wrapped the towel about her body, covering her bust. Sliding open the glass door and stepping out of the shower, she blushed when Naruto looked her body over.
“You’ve seen it before Naruto” she smiled and blushed.
“I never want to stop seeing it” he stepped toward her and picked her body up in his arms to kiss her.
Hinata didn’t even notice that Naruto’s hands were holding her up by her bare bottom. She was enveloped in the kiss. She realized where his hands were as he set her down and blushed hard again.
He grinned “it’s soft”
She couldn’t speak, but her hands moved around his waist and into his shorts.
Needless to say, Naruto was a bit surprised and aroused. A bulge began to form in his shorts. Hinata smiled and closed her eyes as Naruto wrapped his arms around her.
“Hinata…” he whispered. Hinata cooed in response.
“Does this mean…you’re ready for me?” he asked. Hinata looked up at him with a hint of embarrassment and sympathy.
“I’m sorry Naruto, but we’re so young…” her eyes watered a little, she hated the fact that she might be disappointing Naruto.
“its okay Hinata” he tightened his arms around her “I won’t pressure you into doing something you don’t want to do…I love you too much for that”
Hinata smiled and dried her eyes. “Thank you Naruto” she leaned her head on his chest. Naruto smiled and stroked her raven black hair. Hinata pulled him down near her lips.
“but that doesn’t mean we cant be sexy” she smiled and blushed.
Naruto grinned “that’s something I can live with. He gave her a little spank and stepped into the shower, also teasing her with a little hip-gyration before sliding the shower door closed. She giggled and walked to the closet.
Dressed in her typical thick winter coat and black pants, she went downstairs. And lounged on the couch. At her family’s house she might have been severely scolded if she got caught lying around. She closed her eyes and laid her head back on a soft pillow. Not as good as Naruto, but good enough for the moment. She sighed with happiness and stroked her hair.
It was very quiet in Naruto’s house, except for the shower noise upstairs. She enjoyed the quiet until she heard a knock on the door. Choosing to ignore it and relax a little more, a letter was soon pushed through the mail slot.
Naruto finished up his shower and walked downstairs.
“hey, what’s that?” Naruto asked.
“a letter, I was too busy to read it” she smiled. Naruto picked up the letter and laid down on the couch. Nestling between Hinata and the back of the couch. He opened the letter while Hinata nestled onto his shoulder.

Dear Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyuuga Hinata

You two have been commissioned for a joint mission between the two of you. You are to meet Hokage Tsunade at the administrative building at 1:00 Pm.
PS: this letter was written on your porch, we know you’re in there, you’re lucky we didn’t barge in and interrupt whatever you were doing that you thought was more important than the mission.

Hinata giggled and blushed when she read the Post Script.
“well, lets go see Tsunade-sama.” Naruto said.
“no” said Hinata.
“why not?” asked Naruto. Hinata didn’t answer, she rolled over and kissed Naruto on the lips, wrapping her arms around his neck. He stroked her back and hair. Hinata’s hands moved up his neck and into his hair, her fingers fondled every little spike of hair on his head. She giggled and kissed Naruto at the same time and he stroked his soft hair.
Soon, the two were cuddling. Hinata laid facing Naruto while she laid her head on his shoulder. Soon enough the two were taking a cat nap on the couch. When the time came, they went to report to lady Tsunade.

Naruto opened the door into the hokage’s office. Hinata walked nervously in.
“good to see you Hinata and Naruto, Tsunade leaned her head on one hand as if in bored and the arrival of Hinata and Naruto mildly amused her. She made a motion to two padded chairs signaling them to sit.
After Hinata and Naruto had seated, Tsunade retrieved the mission briefing papers.
“to practice for when you each possess your own three-man team as jonin, you have been assigned a team of ninja trainees from the academy. You and your team will be airlifted via zeppelin to a remote area. You must remain in the area until a certain amount of time has passed so we may airlift you back to Konoha.” Tsunade spoke in a very commanding tone, as if she were a general. “this mission will test both your ability to survive and your ability to manage a team”
Hinata and Naruto nodded. Tsunade’s expression softened.
“and it might also be good practice for the future, eh?” Tsunade smiled and Hinata blushed. Naruto blinked and looked about, rather confused.

The three kids they were assigned were a boy names Sasume, a girl named Yuuki, and another boy named Hideyoshi.
Naruto had never seen a vehicle like the one he was getting on. It was a massive balloon with a building attached to the bottom. As he boarded, he noticed that there were other genin teams, he saw Kiba with Shino, Ino and Chouji, Sakura and Sasuke were here too. Sakura called to Naruto.
“Hey! Naruto!” she ran to him and gave him a hug “it’s been a while”
“haha, it has. Me and Hinata have been training hard together though” Naruto said. Hinata blushed and held her hands behind her back in a bashful pose.
“this thing is crazy, does this belong to the leaf country’s military?” Naruto asked.
“this vehicle is called a zeppelin” Sakura said “it was developed by the sand and wind nations. Maybe Gaara had a part in it’s design”
Naruto smiled “maybe”
Sakura smiled and winked “how are you and Hinata”
“we’re better then ever” Naruto grinned “believe it!” Hinata blushed.
Everyone was instructed to take a seat with their teams. Naruto noticed that Sasume was staring at him.
“you’re mister Uzumaki, right?” Sasume said.
“yeah, what about me?” Naruto said.
“mister Uzumaki, you’re my hero!” Sasume hugged Naruto “I would ask for your autograph, but I forgot my book”
“that’s alright, you can get my autograph after the mission” Naruto smiled. Hinata apparently wasn’t his only fan. It made him wonder what other trainees admired him.
Hinata held Naruto’s hand as the zeppelin lunged into the air. She moved with the lunge and leaned on Naruto. Their team giggled.

Perhaps a few hours later, a chuunin entered their cabin and put harnesses on them. He then dropped a long rope down into what appeared to be a jungle. They rappelled down into the deep canopy…
Naruto was first to land, he caught his other team members as they landed and helped them out of their harnesses. The harnesses were taken by the chuunin and the zeppelin flew out of sight.
They were alone.
Naruto looked about at where they were dropped. It was a small artificial clearing in the jungle that allowed the sun to shine through. They were not given much supplies due to the rules of the mission. All they had were their clothes, Kunai, and perhaps three days of food. A week if they ate sparingly.
It then hit Naruto that they had no idea how long it would be until the mission ended.
“First we’re going to need some shelter, Sasume, use your Kunai to cut some thin branches off of these trees. Hideyoshi, Yuuki, cut some of these large leaves off the branches.” Naruto ordered. Hinata smiled, seeing Naruto cool in this situation made her more confident.
“what should you and I do?” asked Hinata.
“we’ll clear off the spot where we’ll be staying, grab a branch” Naruto said, taking a branch in hand and clearing the fallen leaves off of the ground. As they cleared the ground and revealed the rich brown earth underneath, Hinata and Naruto saw bugs skittering away from the light and surface.
Soon enough, Sasume, Yuuki, and Hideyoshi returned with what they were ordered to bring. Naruto leaned the branches against the trunk of a thick tree and using a vine, lashed the branches to the trunk.
Over a short amount of time, Naruto lashed more branches to the structure, occasionally having the trainees and Hinata go for more braches or leaves. And soon enough it was finished, Naruto stood back and admired his the fruit of his labor.
“it’s wonderful Naruto” Hinata said. The kids cheered at the finished project. Naruto put his arm around Hinata. She leaned on him.
The sun had not completely gone, beyond the horizon yet. But Naruto could see storm clouds gathering.
“it’s going to rain soon” Hinata said.
“then we’ll have to build a fire” he gathered some of the extra branches Sasume had cut and took them into the hut, Hinata followed after. Naruto broke the branches into smaller pieces and stacked them up. He then started striking two kunai together to create some sparks. Soon the hut was lit up with a warm fire.
It began raining outside. Soon it became obvious that this mission was going to be miserable. They had nothing to sleep on, the next day they would have to find something to keep them warm other than their clothes.
The kids slept in one side of the hut, while Naruto and Hinata cuddled in the other. Their bodies kept each other warm through the night, and soon they were asleep.

Thunder and lightning blasted the sky and Naruto could feel something trying to wiggle between he and Hinata. He opened his eyes to see what it was. It was the girl Yuuki.
“what are you doing?” asked Naruto.
“I’m scared of the lightning” she said. Another blast from the sky came and she curled up against Naruto and closed her eyes. Hinata cooed and put her arms around Yuuki, protecting her from the lighting.
“it’s okay Yuuki” she said. Yuuki calmed down a little bit and fell asleep. Naruto grimaced. He didn’t like the idea of something getting between him and Hinata. But given the circumstances, it seemed to be all right. He laid down with Yuuki and Hinata.
Later, Naruto felt something else coming up from behind, he turned around and saw Sasume.
“you don’t like the lightning either?” Naruto said.
“no…I had a bad dream” Sasume blushed.
“fine” Naruto said. He let Sasume in with them.
Soon enough, Hideyoshi was trying to get with them too.
“you too?” Naruto said.
“its cold over there” Hideyoshi said.
Naruto grumbled and let Hideyoshi in between him and Yuuki.
It wasn’t so bad, Naruto thought, at least it was a bit warmer than just with Hinata.

Things were sunny the next day, everyone woke up a bit slowly. The rain had soaked into the ground around their hut, but didn’t leak in. as they emerged, the saw the leaves shine with the rainwater that was left on them.
“its beautiful” Hinata said. The kids nodded. Naruto put and arm around Hinata’s waist as they looked at the leaves glisten in the sunlight. Naruto kissed the top of Hinata’s head.
“should we have some food and look around?” asked Naruto.
“sure” Hinata said, nodding her head. She got a few dango from her pack and handed them to the kids. They walked out into the forest.
“Tsunade said something funny about this mission Hinata” Naruto said.
“what was that?” Hinata said, she looked at Naruto.
“well, she said that this mission was practice for the future…I thought it was a little weird” Naruto said.
Hinata blushed and put a finger up to her lips.
“do you know what she meant?” Naruto asked.
“well, maybe someday when we’re grown up…you and I could have children of our own” Hinata took Naruto’s hand.
Naruto thought about it for a moment, he had never thought of having his own kids before. But having kids with Hinata sounded like a nice idea…he thought about all the things that came before kids too, like marriage, and.…
He blushed. Hinata took notice and giggled. She leaned on him, smiling.
Eventually they came to a river nearly roiling with fish.
“wow! This will make catching some food for us easy!” shouted Naruto. He dove in, scaring away the fish nearby. Dive after dive, Naruto and the kids could not seem to catch a single fish between them.
Hinata rolled up her pant legs and entered the water very slowly. The veins on her temples bulged, showing that she was using her sight beyond sight, the byakugan.
As the fish swam about her ankles, the other watched and marveled as her hands moved. It all looked like normal to her, but Naruto and the kids saw her hands only when they stopped and began moving in another direction. It was amazing.
By the end of the day, Hinata had caught enough fish for a long time!
“tonight, we eat like kings!” Naruto cheered, the kids cheered with him.
“a cheer for Hinata!” Yuuki shouted. The kids and Naruto gathered around Hinata and with a great “huzzah!” they lifted her in a way that their bodies made a seat for her.
That night they roasted the fish over a fire and ate heartily. It seemed that Hinata could help on missions, despite what her father always said about her.
Naruto put his arm around her as they ate around the fire.
“you’re amazing Hinata” he whispered. She kissed his cheek.
“thank you Naruto” she leaned on him and took a bite of hr fish.
It was three weeks before the zeppelin returned and picked them up. Tsunade rappelled down to see them. She gasped when she say their campsite.
“this is just… amazing!” she said. They had done so much in only three weeks. And all in the name of living in comfort!
“yeah, I’m a little sad to leave it” said Naruto.
In a couple minutes they were harnessed up and on the zeppelin.
“mister Naruto?” Sasume asked.
“yeah?” Naruto said with a smile.
“lets do that again! Real soon!” Sasume said, Yuuki and Hideyoshi nodded with cute smiles.
“that would be wonderful!” Hinata said.
“sure, but give me and Hinata some time too!” Naruto put his arm around Hinata. The kids giggled.
The other teams looked rather ragged compared to Naruto’s. they were getting a lot of dirty looks. Naruto just smiled and waved.
The zeppelin came landed with a heavy thud and everyone unloaded. The trip seemed pretty uneventful overall. The kids returned to the academy (through some strange coincidence, Iruka was their teacher.)

It was time again for Naruto and Hinata to sleep in their own bed. Their bodies were rather stiff from sleeping on the ground. As they slipped into bed, they somehow both found themselves contesting for the middle. Naruto’s arms wrapped around Hinata and rolled her on top of him. She lowered her head and kissed him gently.
“hey Hinata” said Naruto.
“yes?” she said.
“if…when we do have our own kids…would they have the Byakugan?” Naruto asked.
“they should…our Kekkei Genkai has carried on to the children of those who married outside the family” she giggled “I’m sorry Naruto, they’ll all have my eyes”
Naruto smiled “that’s fine, your eyes are beautiful” they kissed, keeping their eyes open.
“Naruto, I don’t know if you know how happy you’ve made me” Hinata said.
He stroked her hair “I don’t know Hinata…but I’m sure it’s a lot!”
Hinata giggled.
“you make me so happy too Hinata” he nuzzled her forehead “and I know there’s even more to come”
“oh Naruto!” she wrapped her arms about his neck and kissed him passionately. When the kiss ended, Naruto stared deep into Hinata’s eyes.
“Hinata, lets not talk about the future anymore” he said.
Hinata gasped “why not?”
“if we spend too much time thinking about what will happen, we’ll miss all the days before that” Naruto said, stroking Hinata’s back “lets enjoy every day we can together, without having to worry about all that stuff”
Hinata smiled and laid her head into Naruto’s chest. Soon they were asleep. Tomorrow would be another day.

Time in a bottle baby…time in a bottle…
