“Speech”

`Thought'

As Long as I Have Friends

It was had been a week since the incident and things were returning to normal. Well, as normal as they could be with Naruto around. Only a few people even knew Hinata was living with Naruto. It was kept from the Hyuuga family, the Hokage wouldn't tell them on the request from both Naruto and Hinata. The Hokage gave them the message not so search for her and that she might come back. They Hokage knew the reason they wanted her back was to put a seal on her, but since she wasn't part of the family any more they couldn't put one on if she didn't consent. The Hokage had stated that if she was forced to go back and have the seal put on he would strip the clan of its titles and make it public on what they have done.

`What a long day, and there is still piles of paperwork to do.' The Hokage sighed. He stared to think about what happened when he arrived at Naruto's apartment earlier in the week.

~Flashback~

“This is it” Naruto said as the opened the door.

The Hokage looked around while Naruto stood back waiting to see if he could help. Hinata realized she had left her cloths on the floor blushed with embarrassment.

“Naruto, where are you going to sleep there is only one room.” Hokage waited for Naruto to answer.

Naruto stared at Sandaimewide eyed then scratched the back of his head as he let out a nervous laugh. “I hadn't thought of that, hmm…… I know,Hinata can have the room and I will sleep out here.”

Hinata blushed. `He's letting me sleep in his room?' “I-I c-cant let you d-do that N-naruto-kun,” she said looking down at the ground.

“Hinata-chan, you probably want privacy when you sleep. So I don't just walk out here while you or changing or something in the morning, anyway I have slept out here before and it doesn't bother me, ok.” He says with his foxy grin.

Sandaime smiles at them. “Well since that is settled it looks like you will need a bed of some kind and a dresser.” Then his face gets serious. “It may be wise Hinata to not go back to the Hyuuga estate; they may try to put that seal on you.” At the mention of a seal Naruto flinches. “As long as you don't go back I can somewhat protect you and it may be wise not to tell many people where you are living. So only tell people you can trust.”

“Well they can go fuck themselves because Hinata-chan is not getting any gay ass seals. Anyone who puts seals on people without a good reason can go to hell.” Naruto said in a cold voice making Hinata and Sandaime shiver. Naruto closes his eyes and begins to think. `Should I tell her, should I not, should I tell, should I not, hmmm. Well since she is living with me she should know.'

Hinata and Sandaime were staring at Naruto wondering what he was thinking about. Naruto then looked at Sandaime and rubbed his stomach. Sandaime got what he meant and nodded and smiled at him.

Naruto gave a big smile at Hinata, “Hey Hinata, I need tell you something important but you have to keep it a secret, ok?”

Hinata looked puzzled but she nodded.

Naruto lifted up his shirt and focused some chakra. A seal appealed on his stomach, “this is one of the reasons I hate seals so much, but this one has a good reason. If this seal wasn't placed on me the village would have been destroyed. The forth Hokage sacrificed his life to put this seal on me, it holds Kyuubi.” He said while smiling. Hinata was shocked and stood staring at him but then Hinata could tell that he was not happy. His eyes had lost the light that usually gives them an immense shine of power. Now they were a dull blue that radiated sadness.

Hinata walked over to him and did something she normally couldn't have done. She knelt down in front of him and started poking his seal on his stomach. “Does the Kyuubi ever say anything?” Just them there was a loud growl from Naruto's stomach. Hinata jumped back in surprise.

“No, that was just my stomach. I'm hungry, lets to get RAMEN!” Naruto said razing his fist.

~Flashback ends~

Sandaime knew they had requested a meeting with Hiashi but since he had some out of town business to attend he couldn't talk to him. `It had to be after I found out how convenient, if I didn't have so much paperwork to do I would have got a hold of him right away but that would have just increased my paper work. Being Hokage does suck sometimes.' He let out a sigh. `I don't think they know where Hinata is but I bet they heard she was in my office so he knows that he can't force her to go to the estate. If he does I bet I could hear Naruto from across the village.' He chuckled. `I can't tell if Naruto likes her or just doing it because of who he is. It doesn't really matter. Better get back to work.'

Naruto and Hinata

“Come on Hinata-chan why can't we have ramen?” Naruto wined.

“B-but Naruto-kun we need to eat other f-food then ramen, d-don't you like my c-cooking?” Hinata used her puppy eyes.

“Your cooking is the best Hinata-chan,” He said. He had told her one of the reasons that he had ramen so much was because it was cheap and easy to make since he couldn't cook worth crap. If it wasn't for Kyuubi he said he would have died from food poisoning. “But I would like some…” He had looked into her puppy eyes and gave in again. “Ok, ok no ramen,” he pouted.

“T-thanks Naruto-kun,” Hinata said. She had found out her puppy eyes work well on him, in his defense this was the first time anyone had used it on him so he gave in. Now she wasn't stuttering as much either and was proud of herself. Plus Naruto had found out she was a really good cook and had been parsing her for the good food. “L-let go back and cook it.” Hinata said.

“YAY, I GET HINATA-CHANS COOKING!” Naruto yelled, as they headed back to the apartment.

END.
