Noel: Glad that's all over!

Merei: Like you shuttin da hell up for once and let someone else talk?

Naruto: WHAT?!

Desro: Just shut up and enjoy the story, Anewbyss sama doesn't own Naruto. But he owns the others so I guess he should be happy.

1 year later... Naruto 9, Hinata 9, Leon 11, Merei 11, Desro 12, Una 11, Alexis 11 Noel 25, October 9....

Alot can change in just a years time. Naruto was turning more demon as time went on, he skin paled, his hair grew to a black spiky mane, his claws grew and so did his fangs. Hinata also appeared more demonic, her hair grew longer and it went to her back, it was now jet black; but it was only because Merei and Leon dyed it with chakra dye, no gettin it out. Her skin paled, her fangs and claws grew and her Byakugan was now darker, a demonic Byakugan. Naruto also grew in strength, he was now at 79lbs on each of his weights and he now has 10 Katon jutsus, 6 Fuuton jutsus, and 24 non affinity jutsus along with the high level genjutsu to hide his true apperance. In the genjutsu, he had his blonde hair back, his claws were gone, and his hair was short and spiky, despite all this growth, he was still thicker than syrup start from the tree. He would argue with some of Noel's teachings from time to time. His punishment would be a nice spar against her, true she would hold back, but it was still one sided and extremely painful and he was clueless as to why Hinata would get red around him. Hinata also had grown. She had learned excellent chakra control and developed jutsu of her own to make up for her lack at the Jyuuken, and she was in the development stages of her own style of taijutsu. She was on 66lbs on each of her weights and now had learned 6 Mana jutsus, 10 Senkou jutsus, and 4 Suiton jutsus and the high level genjutsu to hide her true self. In the genjutsu her hair was short once more and her features hidden well, but she kept her hair black, yes she had grown in strength, but still, the years of mental torment still lingered. She still saw herself as weak, still she stuttered and was easily led by others, not that they chose to. Well the others would change that.....

'Ok Kit kun, Kit chan. Before I decide our next course of training, I need to see your skills.' Noel said as everyone gathered to watch especially Merei and Leon, who looked forward to the match.

'How much you wanna bet Kit kun shows the most progress?' Leon asked as Merei scuffed, yeah right that baka?!

'Oh please! Hina chan will show much more progress. First of all Hina chan has her taijutsu, which Naruto still hasn't perfected yet and I personally taught her Senkou. And what does Naruto have?' Merei stated now it was on.

'Kit kun may not have his taijutsu down pack, but he's a combo specialist... in the makng. Plus he's taken my Gummi Bunshin to the next level not to mention he knows more ninjutsu!' Leon stated, he had been mentoring the jet black Hanyou for a while and had confidence in his abilities. Both decided to watch the match... Closely.

Hinata timidly walked to the opposite side, not to keen on the idea of fighting Naruto. Naruto on the other hand was excited! He had saw Hinata spar against Merei and Leon and had to admit that she was skilled. She then activated her Demon Byakugan as the veins around her eyes bulged and pulsated, with this she could see all around her, and could even see inside Naruto's mindscape, although there wasn't much there. Just the caged Kyuubi, looking bored.

'Ok Hina chan, Go all out on the Kit baka!' Merei joked as Hinata blushed, Naruto had gotten alot better compared to her...

Naruto assumed his own taijutsu stance called the preying fox, he would kneel like a preying animal, one arm in front of him the other at his side. This stance allowed him better angles to attack and to gauge his opponents and he could perform multiple attacks. Hinata also slipped into her own taijutsu stance, it was similiar to her clan's Jyuuken in stance, but her claws were out. Naruto started by rushing towards Hinata on all fours as his stance pertrays, he quickly went through handseals as Hinata went through her own.

Dragon, Boar, Ox, Tiger, Snake, Reverse Ox! 'Valor claw no justu!' Naruto roared as chakra erupted from his arms and slowly took the form of claws.

Sheep, Rat, Rabbit, Bird, Monkey, Reverse Rat! 'Senkou Kata: Hollow palm jutsu!' Hinata chanted as her hands were engulfed in a lavender aura, Naruto knew to be cautious. He'd seen that jutsu before and didn't want to be on the recieving end of that jutsu, zig zagging around her to throw her off, Naruto came in with a claw swipe at Hinata's torso, only for to side step and thrust her jutsu at him. Thinking fast Naruto went through a set of handseals in a instant.

Monkey, rat, dragon 'Gummi bunshin jutsu!' Naruto roared as he used the bunshin to launch himself away from the jutsu. Naruto watched as the jutsu ate away and drained the bunshin of all its chakra as it was gracefully sent to Hinata. Hinata stored the chakra into her jutsu as it grow stronger from the added chakra, Naruto pounced down on Hinata with his chakra claws as he slashed down on her, but Hinata saw this and managed to jump to the side. Naruto was left wide open, his guard off, and Hinata saw this, but she hesitated.

"What the hell is she doing?! She had a wide open shot at him.." Merei thought to herself, she just didn't get it.

"It's called blooming love Merei." the purity Deity from within her said, she knew this, but still didn't she want to win?

"Still Eternity, Doesn't she want to win?" Merei asked her Deity. Sometimes the Deity wished she was more lively, maybe if she had a boyfriend... Well maybe later.

"It's not that she doesn't want to win, she just values Naruto's opinion more." Eternity told her, but this just didn't make sense to Merei.

Naruto used this time to go through his own handseals.

Monkey, Dragon, Ox, Sheep, Horse, Snake! 'Katon: Kitsune Spark jutsu!' Naruto roared as a blue flame was conjured and hurled towards Hinata, but Hinata was ready. She put her hands in front in an arc as the flames roared towards her, using her hollow palm she split the flames in half and drained it of its chakra. Once the chakra was stored, she went through her handseals.

Horse, Monkey, Rabbit, Sheep, Reverse Rabbit, Snake, Ox, Semi Tiger, Semi Ox, Boar, Semi Rabbit! 'Senkou Kata: Hollow Ball jutsu!' Hinata roared as the gathered chakra molded into a greenish ball of chakra, she shot the ball at Naruto as he went through handseal for the Gummi Bunshin.

Monkey, Rat, Dragon, Semi Dragon, Semi Rabbit, Horse! 'Tajuu Gummi Bunshin!' Naruto roared as he throw over 36 gummi wads into the air as they materailized into other Narutos, they quickly gathered and mashed into a dome a Gummi dome and sheilded him. The ball of chakra slammed into the dome as it drained the clones and stared to ware down the dome and make its way to Naruto, Naruto was shocked that her jutsu was able to get through his dome, seeing the ball soar towards him and getting stronger, Naruto jumped out the dome just in time to evade the ball. But Hiata wasn't done, with movements similar to a elegant dance,she controlled the jutsu as it made is way back to Naruto. Naruto managed to evade, only for the ball to make a double back and aim right forhim, this time slamming into his righ arm as he felt the agonzing pull on his chakra as it left his body and left his arm numb and useless. "So this is Hinata chan's Senkou based jutsu... That's so awesome!" he thought, butdidn't have time to admire the jutsu as it was sent at him again, he had to think... FAST! Naruto used the rest of his chakra claws as he sent a slashwave at the ball, the two jutsus clashed as they canceled each other. Naruto used this to capitalize on Hinata, he ran through handseals.

Ox, Semi Sheep, Horse, Rat, Monkey, Snake, Reverse Ox, Semi Horse! 'Fuuton: Oni's Wail jutsu!' Naruto roared as he let out a howling wail that cut through the area and churned the wind as it sent waves of winds at Hinata. All she could was brace herself as the winds shredded her body. Both were ready to go, but with a halt gesture from Noel, they bowed and stopped as Hinata deactivated her Kekkei Genkai. Leon had to admit, it was a good spar, but Naruto should have lost. The Senkou style jutsus drain an opponent of their chakra, and Naruto was wide open, but Hinata choked.. Oh well, this way neither he nor Merei lost or won. With that in mind, Leon pulled out his favorite manga Ichigo 100%( Strawberry 100%) as he read a few pages.

"I swear I'll never know the appeal of such ecchi garbage!" Dyi-Edge stated.

"How dare you?! This is true masterpiece! A work of art, featuring romance, drama.... Hmm." Leon thought to the yin yang Deity within. He looked at Naruto praise Hinata as she blushed and swear it reminded him of Ichigo 100%. The clueless idiot with nothing going for him, except the love of a beautiful girl he has no clue about.. Leon thought of the perfect plan as he grinned sinisterly.

"Oh shit..." Dyi-Edge said as he knew what the Hanyou was planning.

'Hey Hia chan!' Leon called her as she went over to him.

'Y-Yes Leon nii san?' Hinata asked timidly, this would be good!

'Hey Kit kun!' Leon called out to Naruto as he went over, Hinata's face getting brighter.

'What is i Leon senpai?' Naruto asked.

'To put it simpl, you should have lost, but Hia chan here decided to let you off and teach yo how to do handseals quicker.' Leon lied, not about the losing but the other part.

'W-w-what?' Hinata askd. She didn't want Naruto to think she thought he was tooweak to take seriously, but she didn't agree to that.

'REALLY?! Thanks a ton Hinata chan haha, my handseal speed could use some work, so how will you help?' Naruto asked, Hinata was so lost. How was she supposed to help him,she didn't even know what Leon was planning.

'With this, she's going to play the Cat's Cradle with you. The rules are simple:Person A: Pick up the string noose on your forefingers, middle, ring, and little fingers so the string goes between thumbs and forefingers and around the back of your hands. Turn palms towards you and grab the near hand string with your forefingers, middle, ring, and little fingers. Turn palms away from you and pick up the near string onto your forefingers, middle, ring, and little fingers. There are now two strings across the back of your hands and one across the palms. Right middle finger now picks up the left palm string, then left middle finger goes between right middle finger noose and picks up the right palm string similar to Opening A. This is The Cradle. You can make it look more like the cat's cradle by temporarily inverting your hands with fingers pointing down. There are different ways to play though.' Leon explained giving them some yearn(Laced with chakra hehehehe...) seeing Naruto's confused face and Hinata trying to explain it better made Leon chuckle softly. It was only a matter of time now, for the same thing happens when you put a baka in a game of cats cradle.... Naruto yelped as their hands were caught together in an impossible knot. Hiata's heart raced, his hands were cupping hers, just like in Leon's manga just before they.... She had to will hersel from fainting, but her face was blood shot red as she tried to undo the knot. But she found it hard, even when she sent chakra bursts into it the knot wouldn't undo, and without the use of her hands,she couldn't do anything... "Wait! Leon nii san could..." she thought as she looked only to see he was gone, she knew right then and there this was foul play...

'Hehe sorry Hinata chan..' Naruto apologized, in truth he couldn't believe how warm her hands were. And they were very soft,despite her working so hard. Hinata always worked ten times harder than anybody, he would watch her train or spar and would be moved. She made battle seem like a performance.

'Um... I-i-i-i-it's o-o-okay N-Naruto kun...' Hinata said, she couldn't help but feel embrassed. His hands were rough, but held a softness to them, under his genjutsu, his eyes were ocean blue as she lost herself in their depths,she had to avoid eye contact. Otherwise...

'Man Hinata chan, you sure have gotten better, I mean I was scared for a sec when I saw how you had an open shot at me... Hey why'd you hesitate?' Naruto asked,his curiosity getting the best of him.

"Oh know. Now he's going to think that I thought he was to weak to take seriously! What should I do?..." Hinata panicked to herself, only for her tenant to respond.

"Don't worry Kit chan. Just tell him the truth, yo couldn't hurt the one you care for." Yin Kyuubi stated, Hinata had to admit, she had a point, but she couldn't say that.

'Um.. W-well.. I-it's ju-just... I-I didn't t-think I.. I.. I could pull it off. You know, the jutsu... I thought I m-might fail..' Hinata half lied, Naruto was shocked( Baka actually bought it...)

'But it looked so cool and it seemed like you had it down pacted. You know Hinata chan, you should believe in yourself. Cuz when you don't you let down those that do. I'm sure Merei nee chan was disappoint, all that work only for you to get scared.' Naruto said as Hinata's spirit was crushed. " He really does think I'm weak..." Her thoughts spiraling down the worst path as her confidence pummeled.

'But... Then again, that's our Hina hime.' Naruto said with a grin, his words brightening her mood a bit. " Our Hina hime?" Those words played over in her head over and over. He hought of her as a princess, her?

'The way you always blush, your stuttering, I don't know. You just wouldn't be Hinata to me if you didn't do that. Plus I think it's kinda cute, you've grown so much and so much has changed. In fact I'm sure more will change, but can you do me a favor? Never stop being Hina hime, even if you stop blushing and stuttering. As long as you kepp being nice and sweet and sincere, I'll like you..' Naruto stated. Hinata was lost in her own world, seeing this Leon cut off the chakr flow to the yearn as i undid.

'Wow, they came off, well Hinata chan I'm off. But we can play later K?' Naruto said as he ran off, tomorrow was their birthday and he had to go find a gift. Hinata just sat there in her trance. Leon chuckled, if she thought this was big, wait til tomorrow.....
