Don’t own Naruto.
---------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
HINATA’S MINDSCAPE, 3 MONTHS LATER
Hinata and Naruto had gotten closer over the past 3 months. They now knew everything about each other. And they even started to rub off on each other. Naruto was now I bit quieter although still not the sharpest kunai in the pouch. Hinata was still quite but she is now more confident but not overly so like Naruto, her stuttering was just about gone only returning when in stressed conditions. Naruto’s taijutsu that was greatly lacking had improved a great deal but still wasn’t what one would consider the best.
Hinata and Naruto both sat side by side near a small lake. This was their favorite spot to be together after their spars.
“So Megumi says it’s almost time to get rid of Yoko’s seal, right?” Naruto asked.
“Yes. In a few hours we’ll go back in your mind and put her plan into action.” Hinata answered.
“I’m still a bit nervous about this whole thing, there is a chance we may not survive this.” Naruto said.
“I’m scared too.” Hinata admitted. “The last time I saw him he tried to kill me. But I don’t think Megumi will let anything happen to us.”
“Yeah I guess your right.” Naruto started. “We should get back and rest. We’ll need to be in top form when the time comes.” He said while getting up.
As Naruto was about to walk away he was pulled back by Hinata and spun around right into her lips. Naruto’s eyes shot wide open but soon he returned the flavor and lightly licked Hinata’s soft delicate lips making her give a light moan. Naruto took his chance and shot his tongue into Hinata and started exploring. Hinata in turn responded by grabbing the back of Naruto’s head and pulled him deeper into the kiss and started to do some exploring of her own. Soon they bother broke for air with a bright shade of red on their faces.
“T-that was for luck.” Hinata stuttered.
Naruto’s only response was broken gibberish.
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD: hokage’s office.
“Hey old man It’s been a while” a voice.
“Ha Jariya. You’ve finally come.” The old man greeted. “You know it’s getting harder and harder to find you.”
“Yeah well I am one of the sannin after all.” The toad sage said proudly.
“Now for the reason I called you here.” The hokage started. “It involves the seal that holds the nine tailed fox.”
Hearing this the toad sage’s demeanor changed to a more serious one. “What happened?” He asked.
“About 7 months ago Naruto was attacked and a friend of his got badly injured. He unconsciously drew on the fox’s power so much so that it nearly destroyed his chakra network. I need you to make sure the seal is still functioning the way it should.”
“Alright I’ll get right on it. I just need a few hours to get organized.”
“Very well.”
“See ya old man.” Jariya said in his unusual lighthearted tone.
TIME SKIP 6 HOURS HINATA’S MINDSCAPE
“Alright it’s time. Let’s get a move on.“ Ordered Megumi.
“Right” Hinata and Naruto said in unison.
The trio made their way into Naruto’s mindscape. “So Megumi umm why did you take so long to get ready for this?” Naruto asked.
“There is no need to be so nervous towards me Naruto.” She stated. “And it took me all that time because the technique normally uses charkra but my power is held back due to the seal, so I had to remake the technique so it would use chi instead. “ she explained.
“Oh I see…….. And I’m not nervous of you.” Naruto blurted out.
At this Megumi turned her head to him and smiled. “I’m empathic you know……”
“”What the heck is that?”
“Naruto, Megumi means she can sense how you feel.” Hinata explained. “So if you’re afraid of her she’ll know.”
Hearing this Naruto paled a bit. ‘Awe man that sucks ass!” Naruto thought, as he remained silent.
‘Hmmm maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to tell him that’ Megumi thought. ‘ But I suppose he would have found out sooner of later.’
After a few more minutes of walking they finally arrived at the massive cage that imprisoned Yoko.
“It’s quite, I think he might be asleep.” Megumi whispered to Naruto and Hinata. “This makes our job much easier. Naruto lets go Hinata stay over here.”
Naruto and Megumi moved silently toward the cage. “Ok Naruto move the seal.” Megumi whispered.
“Alright.”
Naruto then jumped up and grabbed the seal and took it off. At this point everything went in slow motion. As Naruto dropped down for a landing two blood red eyes opened up and a sinister laughter rang out. And a massive surge of red chakra blasted the cage open sending Naruto flying into a wall near Hinata.
“I’M FREE!!!!” The fox roared. “Fools you have signed your own death warrant.” The fox threatened.
“Hinata check on Naruto! Ordered Megumi. “This won’t work unless he’s ok!” she continued as a giant paw narrowly missed crashing down on her.
“Ok” Hinata replied. While dashing towards Naruto.
The fox saw this and sent one of his tails at her with every intention of ending her life. But Megumi stopped the attack by grabbing the tail and swung it so hard the fox was sent crashing into a nearby wall creating a large cloud of dust.
“Naruto are you alright?” Hinata asked worriedly but the only reply was mixed up gibberish. “Megumi I think he’s seriously hurt!”
“You’ll l have to use the healing technique I’ve been teaching you!” Megumi shouted while dodging a tail.
“But I having mastered it yet!”
“Hinata you have to have more confidence in yourself. Besides I don’t think he’s hurt too bad.” Megumi assured her while sending a blast of chi towards Yoko. “It’s not like your trying to bring him back from the brink of death.”
“But what of I do something wrong?”
“Hinata if you don’t do this, both you and Naruto will die! You have to at least try! Do you want to let him down?!?!” Megumi shouted. This got the desired effect and Hinata moved over Naruto.
“She’s right I have to do this’ Hinata said to herself. And started making the chi handsigns to heal her loved one. ‘Water, air, earth, light, earth, water, TAO ART: HEALING PLAM JUTSU!’ Immediately afterwards her hands glowed white and she started holding them over his head. ‘Please let this work’
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
The entire intensive care unit was in chaos. Red chakra lashing everywhere.
“GET THE REMINING PEOPLE OUT OF HERE! Doctor Shinji shouted to one of the orderlies.
“Sir what about lady Hyuuga?” One of the assistants asked.
“There’s nothing we can do for her, she’s still attached to Naruto with that strange connection. “
“Yes sir!”
“Shinji?!?! What the hell is going on here?!?! A voice asked.
Shinji turned to see who it was.
“My god Jariya you’re a sight for sore eyes.” The doctor started. “About 3 minutes ago red chakra started lashing out of Naruto, seriously hurting everyone in its path.” The doctor explained. “To top that off a girl is in there as well but she’s connected to him in some way making moving her impossible with out moving Naruto as well.”
Hearing this Jariya became terrified. “Leave this to me.” He tried to enter the room and immediately go blasted back out by a surge of chakra.
‘Damn it this is bad it’s almost as though the seal just vanished. If worse comes to worst I’ll have to kill my own godson!’ the toad sage thought to himself as he got up. ‘The only way to do this is to go all out.’
“Hey doc have some of your guys on stand by I will ended up pretty banged up after this…… provided I don’t die.”
“Right I’ll get right on it. Be careful Jariya.” Shinji said as he ran off/
‘Now I’ll have to constently focus my own chakra round myself if I even want to have a ghost of a chance to pull this off.’ The legendary sannin thought to himself and focus a blanket of chakra around himself and dashed back in.
Upon entering Jiraiya was hit but a stray wisp of chakra. But moved over to Naruto. Once there they took a kunai and cut his hospital garment off. ‘What the---?!?! Where… where is the seal?!?!’ He asked to himself. ‘The only way this could happen is if the seal was destroyed or removed. Dammit! It’s been 5 minutes since the seal was destroyed that means I only have 5 minutes to fix this.’
He then took out a brush and started drawing symbols “it’s not on the level as Minato’s seal but it should work.’ He thought to himself as he continued to draw symbols.
NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE
“It didn’t work” Hinata said to herself in disappointment. But then she heard a small moan from Naruto. “Naruto?”
“Agrh what hit me?” he asked out loud.
“Naruto your ok!” Hinata shouted while hugging him.
“Yeah how did I get---- WHOA MEGUMI!!!!
Hinata turned to look and saw Megumi being blasted into a wall
“Now you will die! Even you can’t survive this!” the fox said sinisterly. After saying that Yoko’s tails started frailing bout wildly then suddenly they stretched out (think how a peacock does it’s tail) and blue flames formed at the tip of each tail. “FOX FIRE!!” the demon roared. Sending the blue flames where Megumi landed.
“MEGUMI” Hinata shouted worriedly.
“I haven’t eaten in years.” The fox demon said evilly. “You two will make a good appetizer for the main course…… your precious village. “He continued while slowly making his way toward them. When a blast of chi hit him sends him flying back into his cage. While he was disoriented Megumi appeared on his head.
“NARUTO GET READY!” She shouted. While performing the handsigns.
“RIGHT” he replied while getting into position.
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
“DAMMIT” Jiraiya cursed. “It didn’t work I don’t anymore time.” He said as he took out a kunai. “forgive me Naruto, Minato.
BACK IN NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE
“TAO ART: SEAL REMOVAL JUTSU!” Megumi shouted as she slammed her hand onto the seal and jumped off. And shut the cage.
Naruto jumped up and place the seal back in its place.
“Did it work?” He asked.
“We’ll have to wait until he comes around.”
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
“What the fuck?” the toad sage asked out loud. “The seal reappeared. Hmmm but there’s something different about it. Well it seems the fox is contained again so I’ll leave it at that. But still I’ll have to keep in eye out.” He said as the hokage and several ANBU burst trough the door. “Heh about time you got here.”
“Jiraiya what happened?” the fire shadow asked.
“I’m not sure myself. The seal looked like it was removed then it just came back.” He said while coughing up some blood.
“Dammit he needs a doctor and fast.” One of the ANBU said.
“Help’s already here.” A voice said from behind.
“Ahh Shinji it’s you.”
“Please step outside lord hokage we’ll get him fixed up.” The doctor assured him.
“Very well. I’ll leave him in your more than capable hands.” The hokage said as he left with his ANBU.
When they were out of earshot one of the ANBU spoke up “permission to speak lord hokage? He asked
“Of course.”
“Forgive me for asking, but are you sure you should leave master Jiraiya with that doctor? He isn’t a medical ninja.
The old man chuckled upon hearing this. “I can assure you that Shinji is more than capable for the job.” He started. “He may be unable to use chakra, but he is an unbelievable inventor and created machines and techniques that allow him to tackle the most life threatening problems one can face wither it’s from a common fall or an advanced jutsu. Even Tsunade has a great deal of respect for him. In terms of medical care he can give her a good run for her money, and they could practically bring back the dead when they work together.”
“Amazing.” Was all the ANBU could say.
BACK IN NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE 4 HOURS LATER.
“I think he’s starting to wake.” Megumi said.
Naruto immediately tensed remembering how much torment the fox caused him.
“Yoko? Hey Yoko you ok?” Megumi asked while noticing everything about him changed. He no longer had evil, angry red eyes, they were now yellow, and his fur, which was wild, was now sleek and tame.
“Megumi?” he asked confusedly. “What are you doing here? Where am I?
“You don’t remember anything at all?” She asked.
“No the last thing a remember was a dream. I dreamt that I nearly destroyed an entire village and killed many. And what’s worse I-I think I enjoyed it.”
Megumi face saddens after hearing this. ‘He thinks it was all a dream.’
“I-it was a dream right? Right?” He asked nervously.
“I’m sorry Yoko but it wasn’t. You attacked the hidden leaf village 12 years ago. The villages forth hokage sealed you in this boy. (Points at Naruto) to save the village using what seems to be the reaper death seal.”
Yoko looked down at Naruto “did I hurt you?” He asked sadly
Naruto didn’t answer but the look in his eye told Yoko all he needed to know. He was then engulfed by blue flames that sent everyone expect Megumi on guard. When the flames cleared there stood a tall man with long orange hair yellow eye’s wearing a yellow robe (it’s the same as Yoko Karama from yuyu hakusho can someone tell me what it’s called?) with fox ears and nine sleek tails gently whipping behind him.
“I’m sor----“
“I may to be the brightest----“ Naruto started. “But I know you have nothing to apologize for. A few months ago I hated your guts but that was before I found out about the seal. So there ain’t any need to apologize you didn’t do anything intentionally. “
Yoko was taken aback by this. “I thank you” he started sadly. “But still, it doesn’t change the fact that I killed many.” He said while shedding a few tears.
“Yoko don’t be so hard on yourself” Megumi started “you were not yourself.”
“I DON’T CARE!!!” Yoko yelled at her while breaking down. “You…. You don’t understand.” He started. “This place was my home for many years. I made many friends here, and they all died because of me!” he said while slamming his fist into a wall.
“The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the one who sealed me in you, was my best friend. He and the entire Namikaze clan as well as a few other clans gave up their lives to seal me away. Despite my killing of so many they still chose to let me live.” He started. “Those clans used their owns bodies to seal up some of my power, killing themselves in the process. I’m starting to remember now. Even the few children in those clans had given up their lives to weaken me enough to the point where the reaper death seal could work on me. They could have killed me….. Minato SHOULD have killed me. But knowing him he chose to let me live knowing I wasn’t myself. He and his entire clan made the ultimate sacrifice for me. All of us were friends. I vowed to be this villages protector but I nearly destroyed it.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. He was on such good terms with the fourth hokage? Megumi called for Hinata and Naruto “It’s pointless trying to get to him now. Let leave him alone for a while.” She suggested.
“But Megumi we need his help.” Hinata reminded.
“Yes I know. But you see Yoko is a fox spirit. They are known for their loyalty to their friends and family and always keeping their word.” She explained. “He killed his friends or at least they died because of him, and the feels that he broke his promise. The very idea must be heartbreaking for him. You guys go back to Hinata’s mind I’ll be right there.”
“Ok.” They both said then left.
After Megumi was sure they were gone she walked up to Yoko who was lightly crying against the cage.
“Yoko I understand you feel as though you betrayed your friends. I personally don’t think you did BUT let’s say you did. Your friends willing went out of the way to make sure that you lived. That in itself shows they forgave you. And instead of walking around with your tails between your legs you should try to made sure their sacrifice was for something.”
Megumi noticed that Yoko’s crying had stopped. He just sat there quietly. After a few more minutes turned to leave.
“Megumi” Yoko called getting her attention. “Thank you. You’re right I shouldn’t let their sacrifice go to waste.” He started. “Today I will renew my vow to protect this village, and make a new one.”
“Oh and what will that vow be?” she asked with a smile
“I will train Minato’s son and help him achieve what ever dream he may have.”
“Oh so all the namikazes didn’t die off. So you know who it is? She asked.
“Yes he is none other than the one I’m sealed up in.”
“Well I guess I should be that surprised. Who would use someone else child for something like this?” She asked to on one in particular. “Well you’ll have your work cut out for you. He’s not what one would call a genius but he’s eager to learn. And I think you should be concerned with his mental state, as you can see for yourself.” She added while looking around the mindscape.
“Yes I see that. As bad as it looks I don’t think it will be difficult to fix.” Yoko assured.
“One more thing Yoko.”
“What is it?”
“Hinata, the blue hair girl you saw with Naruto, and I first came here for your help.”
“What’s wrong?” He asked
“Well you see a few years back a got in a fight and go badly injured. Hinata chose to let me seal myself in her and well–oh hold on I’ll show you better that i can tell you.” She then placed her index finger on Yoko’s forehead showing him everything she knew about the condition.
“I see. It is quite a problem. But it can be fixed. In fact the answer is in the seal that holds me here.” He started. “You simply sealed yourself in her but don’t have anything to regulate your chakra. That is why Hinata’s chakra gates are stopping you chakra from mixing with yours, if it did she would have died almost immediate after you sealed yourself in her because al of your power would have just blasted right through her.”
This bit of info made Megumi feel disappointed in herself for not thinking things through but she focused on the task at hand.
“So what do I need to do?” She asked.
“You don’t do anything. There’s nothing you can do.”
“WHAT!!”
“Let me finish.” He started. “Someone must apply the seal from the outside. Our only option is Naruto. I will teach him sealing for about a month none stop. When I’m finished with him he’ll be at a good enough level to make the seal.”
“He was badly injured are you sure he can recover in that time?” The blue hair goddess asks with concern.
“If he wanted to he could wake up now. With me back to normal his healing factor is much higher. The few minor things that needs to be healed will be heal in a few days.”
“That’s a relief. So I can send him back here?”
“Give me a day or two. I need time to think.”
“Alright I’ll send him back in 3 days. And Yoko?
“Yes Megumi?”
“It’s good to have you back.” She said happily.
“It’s good to be back Megumi.”
Right afterwards the goddess vanished in a flurry of feathers.
BACK IN HINATA’S MINDSCAPE
Naruto was watching Hinata train in her tai chi style. But was bored witless at how she was training. She wasn’t striking posts or anything she was just standing there making slow fluid movements.
“Hey Hinata is that really training? I mean it’s not like you can attack anyone like that.”
“Believe it or not this calms the mind and helps with concentration.”
“Whatever you say.” He said in disbelieve. “Man how long will Megumi take?” it’s been over an hour!”
As if on cue Megumi appeared. “Someone call me name?”
Hinata was in front of Megumi asking questions at high speeds. “What did he say? Can he fix it? How long will it take? When can we start? Can we do it now? How about-----“
“Hinata one question at a time.” Megumi said. Megumi then explans the details of her and Yoko’s conversation.
“So I have to learn sealing?” Naruto asked in disbelieve “man that sucks.”
What?” Megumi asked. “Sealing is great.”
“”It’s boring and is pretty useless in a fight.” Naruto explained
“Tell that to your fourth hokage when he sealed Yoko in you.” She retorted.
“Ooh….. Yeah Heh Heh Heh.”
“Anyway you’ll be going back to your mind in 3 days so you guys better make the most of your time together.” Megumi started. “Just don’t do anything too naughty.” She finished teasingly. This immediately made Hinata and Naruto turn several shade of red.

“TAO ART: SEAL REMOVAL JUTSU!” Megumi shouted as she slammed her hand onto the seal and jumped off. And shut the cage.
Naruto jumped up and place the seal back in its place.
“Did it work?” He asked.

“Of course.”
“Forgive me for asking, but are you sure you should leave master Jiraiya with that doctor? He isn’t a medical ninja.
The old man chuckled upon hearing this. “I can assure you that Shinji is more than capable for the job.” He started. “He may be unable to use chakra, but he is an unbelievable inventor and created machines and techniques that allow him to tackle the most life threatening problems one can face wither it’s from a common fall or an advanced jutsu. Even Tsunade has a great deal of respect for him. In terms of medical care he can give her a good run for her money, and they could practically bring back the dead when they work together.”
“Amazing.” Was all the ANBU could say.
BACK IN NARUTO’S MINDSCAPE 4 HOURS LATER.
“I think he’s starting to wake.” Megumi said.
Naruto immediately tensed remembering how much torment the fox caused him.
“Yoko? Hey Yoko you ok?” Megumi asked while noticing everything about him changed. He no longer had evil, angry red eyes, they were now yellow, and his fur, which was wild, was now sleek and tame.
“Megumi?” he asked confusedly. “What are you doing here? Where am I?
“You don’t remember anything at all?” She asked.
“No the last thing a remember was a dream. I dreamt that I nearly destroyed an entire village and killed many. And what’s worse I-I think I enjoyed it.”
Megumi face saddens after hearing this. ‘He thinks it was all a dream.’
“I-it was a dream right? Right?” He asked nervously.
“I’m sorry Yoko but it wasn’t. You attacked the hidden leaf village 12 years ago. The villages forth hokage sealed you in this boy. (Points at Naruto) to save the village using what seems to be the reaper death seal.”
Yoko looked down at Naruto “did I hurt you?” He asked sadly
Naruto didn’t answer but the look in his eye told Yoko all he needed to know. He was then engulfed by blue flames that sent everyone expect Megumi on guard. When the flames cleared there stood a tall man with long orange hair yellow eye’s wearing a yellow robe (it’s the same as Yoko Karama from yuyu hakusho can someone tell me what it’s called?) with fox ears and nine sleek tails gently whipping behind him.
“I’m sor----“
“I may to be the brightest----“ Naruto started. “But I know you have nothing to apologize for. A few months ago I hated your guts but that was before I found out about the seal. So there ain’t any need to apologize you didn’t do anything intentionally. “
Yoko was taken aback by this. “I thank you” he started sadly. “But still, it doesn’t change the fact that I killed many.” He said while shedding a few tears.
“Yoko don’t be so hard on yourself” Megumi started “you were not yourself.”
“I DON’T CARE!!!” Yoko yelled at her while breaking down. “You…. You don’t understand.” He started. “This place was my home for many years. I made many friends here, and they all died because of me!” he said while slamming his fist into a wall.
“The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the one who sealed me in you, was my best friend. He and the entire Namikaze clan as well as a few other clans gave up their lives to seal me away. Despite my killing of so many they still chose to let me live.” He started. “Those clans used their owns bodies to seal up some of my power, killing themselves in the process. I’m starting to remember now. Even the few children in those clans had given up their lives to weaken me enough to the point where the reaper death seal could work on me. They could have killed me….. Minato SHOULD have killed me. But knowing him he chose to let me live knowing I wasn’t myself. He and his entire clan made the ultimate sacrifice for me. All of us were friends. I vowed to be this villages protector but I nearly destroyed it.”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. He was on such good terms with the fourth hokage? Megumi called for Hinata and Naruto “It’s pointless trying to get to him now. Let leave him alone for a while.” She suggested.
“But Megumi we need his help.” Hinata reminded.
“Yes I know. But you see Yoko is a fox spirit. They are known for their loyalty to their friends and family and always keeping their word.” She explained. “He killed his friends or at least they died because of him, and the feels that he broke his promise. The very idea must be heartbreaking for him. You guys go back to Hinata’s mind I’ll be right there.”
“Ok.” They both said then left.
After Megumi was sure they were gone she walked up to Yoko who was lightly crying against the cage.
“Yoko I understand you feel as though you betrayed your friends. I personally don’t think you did BUT let’s say you did. Your friends willing went out of the way to make sure that you lived. That in itself shows they forgave you. And instead of walking around with your tails between your legs you should try to made sure their sacrifice was for something.”
Megumi noticed that Yoko’s crying had stopped. He just sat there quietly. After a few more minutes turned to leave.
“Megumi” Yoko called getting her attention. “Thank you. You’re right I shouldn’t let their sacrifice go to waste.” He started. “Today I will renew my vow to protect this village, and make a new one.”
“Oh and what will that vow be?” she asked with a smile
“I will train Minato’s son and help him achieve what ever dream he may have.”
“Oh so all the namikazes didn’t die off. So you know who it is? She asked.
“Yes he is none other than the one I’m sealed up in.”
“Well I guess I should be that surprised. Who would use someone else child for something like this?” She asked to on one in particular. “Well you’ll have your work cut out for you. He’s not what one would call a genius but he’s eager to learn. And I think you should be concerned with his mental state, as you can see for yourself.” She added while looking around the mindscape.
“Yes I see that. As bad as it looks I don’t think it will be difficult to fix.” Yoko assured.
“One more thing Yoko.”
“What is it?”
“Hinata, the blue hair girl you saw with Naruto, and I first came here for your help.”
“What’s wrong?” He asked
“Well you see a few years back a got in a fight and go badly injured. Hinata chose to let me seal myself in her and well–oh hold on I’ll show you better that i can tell you.” She then placed her index finger on Yoko’s forehead showing him everything she knew about the condition.
“I see. It is quite a problem. But it can be fixed. In fact the answer is in the seal that holds me here.” He started. “You simply sealed yourself in her but don’t have anything to regulate your chakra. That is why Hinata’s chakra gates are stopping you chakra from mixing with yours, if it did she would have died almost immediate after you sealed yourself in her because al of your power would have just blasted right through her.”
This bit of info made Megumi feel disappointed in herself for not thinking things through but she focused on the task at hand.
“So what do I need to do?” She asked.
“You don’t do anything. There’s nothing you can do.”
“WHAT!!”
“Let me finish.” He started. “Someone must apply the seal from the outside. Our only option is Naruto. I will teach him sealing for about a month none stop. When I’m finished with him he’ll be at a good enough level to make the seal.”
“He was badly injured are you sure he can recover in that time?” The blue hair goddess asks with concern.
“If he wanted to he could wake up now. With me back to normal his healing factor is much higher. The few minor things that needs to be healed will be heal in a few days.”
“That’s a relief. So I can send him back here?”
“Give me a day or two. I need time to think.”
“Alright I’ll send him back in 3 days. And Yoko?
“Yes Megumi?”
“It’s good to have you back.” She said happily.
“It’s good to be back Megumi.”
Right afterwards the goddess vanished in a flurry of feathers.
BACK IN HINATA’S MINDSCAPE
Naruto was watching Hinata train in her tai chi style. But was bored witless at how she was training. She wasn’t striking posts or anything she was just standing there making slow fluid movements.
“Hey Hinata is that really training? I mean it’s not like you can attack anyone like that.”
“Believe it or not this calms the mind and helps with concentration.”
“Whatever you say.” He said in disbelieve. “Man how long will Megumi take?” it’s been over an hour!”
As if on cue Megumi appeared. “Someone call me name?”
Hinata was in front of Megumi asking questions at high speeds. “What did he say? Can he fix it? How long will it take? When can we start? Can we do it now? How about-----“
“Hinata one question at a time.” Megumi said. Megumi then explans the details of her and Yoko’s conversation.
“So I have to learn sealing?” Naruto asked in disbelieve “man that sucks.”
What?” Megumi asked. “Sealing is great.”
“”It’s boring and is pretty useless in a fight.” Naruto explained
“Tell that to your fourth hokage when he sealed Yoko in you.” She retorted.
“Ooh….. Yeah Heh Heh Heh.”
“Anyway you’ll be going back to your mind in 3 days so you guys better make the most of your time together.” Megumi started. “Just don’t do anything too naughty.” She finished teasingly. This immediately made Hinata and Naruto turn several shade of red.
