For some reason I had a lot more trouble writing this chapter than I thought, but I got it written in the end! I love all of the reviews that I'm getting and I'm glad that people are enjoying this story!
I appreciate all of the suggestions you guys have been giving and to be honest I actually might go with some, although I won't tell you guys which!
One reviewer even mentioned giving Naruto a bit of his chakra back so he can preform basic things! Keep that idea, because as Naruto gain's some of his chakra back over time he will be doing some pretty...well let's say he won't be doing anything that people in our world would be accustomed to haha.
Don't forget to read the author's note at the bottom!
Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 4
"Everybody get up against the wall." The robber commanded.
Nobody in the bank moved, mostly out of fear. Which only served to annoy the man's partner.
"NOW!" He shouted as he pushed the closest woman to him towards the wall.
Naruto slowly helped Hinata up, his face was a mixture of confusion and anger. The confusion was because he didn't know exactly what was going on, and the anger was because he understood that whatever was happening was putting Hinata and everybody else in the bank in jeopardy.
"Naruto..please.." Hinata begged seemingly sensing the rebellion inside of the blonde haired boy. "Just do what they say...Those weapons in their hands are very dangerous.." She tried to reason.
Naruto's eyebrow twitched as he listened to Hinata.
"Boy! You and the girl get over to the wall too!" One of the men shouted towards Naruto as he aimed his gun, showing that he would shoot if his orders weren't followed.
Naruto's eyes briefly went to the man before going back to Hinata. Before he could handle this situation he had to make sure that the girl was safe. Without a word he nudged Hinata towards the wall.
The robber smirked as everybody got against the wall.
"So we have 23 hostages.." He muttered out loud. "Did any of you click an alarm?" He questioned as he turned around towards the bank tellers. They all quickly shook their head as their hands flew above their heads. The fear in their eyes was clearly visible, the sight made the robber's smirk grow.
"I know your lying, but don't worry I don't have time to kill all of you." The robber said in a dangerous tone as he pointed his gun towards a male bank teller. "Besides..I have good feeling that it was you."
Before the bank teller could say a word a loud shot rang throughout the bank causing Naruto's eyes to widen as he watched the employee crumble to the ground.
Before the blonde could act however he felt a tight grip on his arm causing his attention to go back towards the girl who had agreed to take him in.
Hinata was visibly shaking, and the sight only made Naruto's anger grow. "It's alright. I won't let anything happen to you." Naruto comforted when the girl didn't respond to his question.
"They..Killed him.." Hinata finally managed to get out. Her breathing was rapidly increasing showing her fear of the situation.
Naruto could only pull her closer to him to try and calm her down. "Who are those guys?" He asked seriously his eyes going to the two men in suits.
"Bank robbers..." Was the only reply Hinata could manage in her mental state.
Naruto nodded. "Robbers huh..I guess scum like this exist no matter which world you're in."
"Those weapons in their hands...They're guns and they are extremely dangerous.." Hinata continued as Naruto slowly placed a comforting hand around her shoulder when he noticed she was still shaking.
"Yeah...I can tell..That guy got downed from just one small action..." Naruto agreed.
Had the situation not been happening, the small girl would have blushed, but she barely noticed how intimate the action was. She appreciated that Naruto was trying to comfort her.
"So those things shoot from a distance..Damn, that makes getting closer to them even harder without chakra." Naruto muttered as his brain still continued to analyze the situation.
His words caused Hinata's head to snap towards him. "No! Please don't do anything!" She whispered harshly. She had almost screamed, but that would have attracted the robber's attention and they would have known that Naruto was up to something.
Naruto gave the girl a small smile. "It's fine, I've dealt with way worse than a couple of losers like this. Madara makes these guys look like a couple of ants."
Hinata briefly gave a confused expression at the name "Madara," but decided to ignore it for now. "Naruto-kun..That's not the point...This isn't your world, you can really get hurt if not killed if you try to stop these men alone."
Naruto shrugged. "But if I don't do anything they might hurt you and the rest of these people too."
A powerful voice spoke before Hinata had a chance to reply.
"What the hell you two talking about over here?" One of the robbers questioned as he began walking towards Naruto and Hinata.
Hinata pushed her body closer to Naruto as her eyes made it's way to the gun that was now pointed at her. She had never been so scared in her life.
"Nothing." Was Naruto's quick reply as he stared at the man with a hard expression.
His reply did nothing, but further annoy the man as he redirected his gun and now pointed it towards Naruto.
"Tell me what you were talking about tough guy." The man commanded, a smirk coming to his mouth as he heard the gasps from the other hostages.
Naruto didn't respond, which made the man bring the gun closer to the blonde's face.
Hinata's eyes closed as she whispered a silent prayer hoping that nobody would get hurt.
"Dude! Stop playing around and help me get the money in the fucking bag! We probably have another two minutes before the cops show up!" The robber's partner yelled interrupting the staring contest that the man and Naruto were having.
The man didn't move at first as he continue to hold his pistol closer to the blonde haired ninja. Naruto didn't flinch as he continued to look directly at the barrel of the gun.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity the man lifted his gun and smirked. "It's your lucky day tough guy." He teased in a cocky manner as he turned to go help his partner.
Before Hinata could even blink Naruto went to action. He immediately attacked the man from behind instantly grabbing his arm and aiming it into the air to avoid being shot.
The robber grunted as he felt his finger squeeze the trigger causing multiple shots to ring out in the bank. The other hostages screamed as they began running towards the exit, using Naruto's actions as a distraction.
"Shit!" The robber's partner yelled as he saw what was going on. He quickly pulled his pistol out and ran from behind the clerk's desk to help deal with the situation.
Naruto could tell when the gun could no longer shoot once he heard simple clicks from the weapon. He smirked as he put the man in a strong headlock. He could tell that the man wasn't use to physical conflict due to his lack of basic fighting skills.
"Kid!"
Naruto's attention shifted towards the voice and he let a small growl slip out at what he saw.
The robber's partner who Naruto had briefly forgotten about now had Hinata in a headlock with his gun pointed directly at her temple. "This is your girl right? It would be a shame if she were to die because of your stupidity."
Naruto's grip around the man's neck tighten as he watched Hinata struggle to get loose.
Hinata wanted to cry, she had seen the other hostages escaping, but she didn't want to leave Naruto all alone. She had hesitated to make a decision on what she should do, but before she could decide, she had been caught.
"Let her go." Naruto said in a threatening tone. By this point the police sirens could already be heard getting closer to the building.
The robber holding Hinata frowned as he put more force into holding the pistol against the girl's head. "Let him go. Or she dies."
Naruto cringed. What could he do. If he let the man's partner go there was no guarantee he wouldn't be able to hurt Hinata and there was no way he could close the distance between them before the man pulled the trigger.
"LET HIM GO!" The robber screamed as he heard the sirens pull up to the building. The robbery was a complete failure...Unless...
Naruto growled in frustration as he threw his hostage towards the ground. The man was struggling for breath as he held his hand on his neck were Naruto had been holding him. "How the fuck can a kid have such a tight grip?"
"Put your hands up kid. Don't resist if you want this girl not to get hurt." The main robber commanded as he began slowly walking towards the bag of money he had already gathered.
Naruto did what he was told, understanding that Hinata would be killed if he disobeyed. Inside he was cursing at his inability to keep his friend safe. He had to absolutely make sure that she didn't get hurt.
Hinata gasped for air as the man continued to hold her tightly although he moved the gun away from her head as he picked up the bag of money. "Come on, we're going to use these two as hostages so we can get out." The robber informed his partner.
His partner nodded as he finally stood up. His eyes went to Naruto who still had his hands raised. "You little bitch!" The robber shouted as he whipped his empty gun towards Naruto's face.
Naruto didn't make a sound as his head went down and a small amount of blood dripped began dripping from his head.
Hinata shuffled trying to get out of her captor's grip when she saw Naruto get hit.
"Hinata, it's fine. Don't worry, I'm going to save you." Naruto assured as he looked towards the girl and gave her a small smile not at all bothered by the blood now dripping down his face.
"You won't be saving anyone, come on." The robber commanded as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pockets. "Put your hands behind your back." He commanded.
The robber had snatched the handcuffs off a security guard earlier when he was tying him up in the restroom. It was a good thing that he had thought they might come in handy.
Naruto complied, not wanting to do anything to risk Hinata getting hurt. His actions are what caused her to get captured in the first place, he couldn't just think about himself now.
He instantly felt his hands get constricted behind his back, and he winced a bit by how tightly the metal was around his wrist.
"Let's go." The man holding Hinata stated as he strapped the bag around his shoulder and began walking towards a window. The second man motioned for Naruto follow.
Naruto quickened his pace so he could close the gap between him and Hinata, while not drawing attention to himself. His eyes went to the gun that was no longer pointed at Hinata's temple. If he could get rid of that then he could handle these two without worrying that Hinata would get hurt.
"Come here man, the police have this whole place surrounded.." The man robber muttered in an annoyed tone as he glanced out of the window.
The man following Naruto listened as he walked in front of Naruto so that he could see outside as well.
Naruto smirked as his hands lifted a bit so that he could get into his ninja tools. Thank god he brought them. It was a bit tough to get his hand into the pouch with the handcuffs, but eventually he managed to do it as he pulled out a kunai knife.
Both men seemed to be discussing a way to use their hostages as a way to get out, and their discussion kept them ignorant of Naruto's actions.
Hinata, who was still confined to a headlock managed to turn her head towards Naruto and noticed his attention seemed to be behind his back.
She wasn't sure about what she wanted to happen. If Naruto attacked again they could both possibly be killed, but if he didn't they might both die anyways...
Hinata's captor suddenly released her as he used his hand to push his hair back. He instantly noticed his mistake as Hinata bolted towards Naruto.
"FUCK!" He shouted as he pointed his pistol towards the girl, but Naruto was quicker as he closed the distance between him and Hinata as the bullet shot out from the chamber of the gun.
Naruto grunted as he rammed Hinata out of the way, unable to be gentle due to his hands still being constricted behind his back. He felt the bullet graze his hoodie, but had otherwise missed, instead shattering a nearby window.
"Hinata get out!" Naruto shouted as he stood up, hoping to act before the two men composed themselves
Hinata nodded dumbly amazed by Naruto actions as she stood herself up and bolted towards the door ignoring the pain that her body was in due to Naruto ramming against her.
The second robber noticed. "She's getting away!" He shouted.
The main robber finally composed himself from watching Naruto react so quickly as he pointed his gun towards the running Hinata. He never got a chance to shoot however as he suddenly felt Naruto's weight on his shoulders.
"What the fuck kid get off!" The robber yelled as he began to aim his weapon up towards the teenager.
Naruto didn't give the man a chance to pull the trigger, however as he tightened his legs around the man's neck and pulled his body backwards.
The robber let out a shout as he felt his body flipping over, and he tried to shoot, but his arm was now pointing towards the ceiling causing the bullets to miss Naruto completely.
The man let out a yell as his body completed the flip. The momentum of both he and Naruto's movement's made his head's impact on the tiled floor extremely hard.
Naruto didn't wait to find out if the man was still conscious as he turned his attention towards the second robber who was staring at the blonde unable to believe what he had just seen.
Forcing his fear to the back of his head, the man pulled out a small pocket knife, since his gun had ran out of bullets earlier.
Naruto's eyes darkened a bit, as he mentally prepared himself for the confrontation. He still had the kunai that he had pulled out of his pouch earlier in his hand that he was sure the man didn't know about. But it would be hard to use it while he still had the handcuffs on.
Luckily Naruto had heard the doors open when Hinata had made it out, so he didn't have to worry about her safety any longer.
"THIS IS THE POLICE, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. IF NOT WE WILL ENGAGE!" A loud voice echoed from the outside, causing Naruto's attention to briefly shift from his opponent towards the window.
The robber took the opening. "Damn it! If I'm going down I'm going to take you with me!" He shouted as he snatched off his sunglasses so he could see better. Holding the knife straight forward he charged.
Naruto's attention instantly went back to the man as he jumped backwards to avoid a sideways slash. The man didn't plan to give Naruto any opportunities to counter as he continued his assault not noticing how easily the blonde haired boy was avoiding his attacks.
"You're so obvious about where you plan to attack..." Naruto slightly teased as he flipped backwards aiming a strong kick to the man's jaw as he raised his leg.
The robber reeled backwards, unable to believe that a teenager was able to do all of this. "What the fuck are you?" He questioned as he used his free hand to rub his now throbbing jaw. It was a miracle that he was even still standing.
Naruto didn't answer as he charged towards the man, this time it was the man who was being pushed backwards as Naruto bombarded him with a fury of kicks all while cleverly avoiding the pocket knife. The robber, however was unable to dodge any of the kicks as he felt the pain course through his body as each blow connected. Suddenly without warning Naruto delivered a powerful high kick to the man's cheek sending him crumbling to the ground a small distance away.
As the robber hit the floor, Naruto's eyes instantly noticed the small key that fell out of his pockets. A smirk came to his lips. That had to be the key to his handcuffs.
With Hinata
"Please you have to save my friend! He is still in there!" Hinata shouted, her normally small voice reaching new levels as she desperately tried to express her concern for Naruto.
"We will, but we have to follow procedure. We can't just go rushing in there." The leading police officer replied before he motioned for another officer to come escort Hinata to a ambulance to get checked out.
"Please! He's trying to fight them by himself!" Hinata continued hoping that the officers would understand just how much danger Naruto was in.
She saw the officer close his eyes in frustration. "Damn it..." He muttered, people trying to be heros always resulted in something bad. He tore his eyes away from Hinata as he looked at the other hostages that had made it out. They also spoke about a blonde haired boy attacking the robbers giving them a chance to escape.
"GOD DAMN IT! I need a team ready to get inside in the next 10 minutes! We can't afford to follow procedure here!" The man shouted towards the surrounding officers causing them all to shout in agreement.
"Your friend is brave. I'm sure he will be fine until we get to him." The officer finally directed his words towards Hinata. Although he couldn't help, but mentally wonder why he hadn't heard of any security trying to help in any of the stories.
Hinata bit her lip in frustration as another officer gently pushed her towards a ambulance.
"Please be alright Naruto-kun..."
The robber's eyes instantly went to the key that had fallen out of his pocket. This boy was kicking his ass with the handcuffs on, lord knows what he would be capable of once he got them off. He quickly got himself together as he reached out intending to pocket the key once again. He stopped suddenly, however as a kunai knife embedded itself into the ground directly between himself and the key.
He felt his heart skip a beat knowing how close the knife had been to hitting his hand. His attention flew to Naruto, who was the only possible culprit.
Naruto paid no mind to the robber, however as he jumped towards the key, quickly scooping it up before the robber could regain his composure. The blonde was a bit annoyed that he had missed the man's hand, but he figured he could give himself some leniency since his hands were tied behind his back and his wrist had very limited movements.
"I bet Tenten would have nailed him easily." Naruto couldn't help, but mutter to himself as he fumbled with the key struggling to unlock the cuffs by himself.
After a few seconds the robber finally realized what was happening as he stood up intending to stop Naruto from unlocking his cuffs. He was to late however as the cuffs fell to the ground.
"Damn, those things were tight." Naruto complained as he rubbed his wrist. The cuffs had made a visible impression on his left hand, since it wasn't wrapped, but that wasn't that big of a deal.
The robber growled to himself as he watched the boy, who didn't seem to feel threatened by him at all. The fear that had slowly developed of the boy by watching him fight slowly faded as Naruto rubbed his wrist. Regardless of how strong he was, he should feel a bit intimidated by the fact that he had a knife. Suddenly a thought came to his mind.
His partner had a second gun on his person!
Taking advantage of Naruto not paying attention, the robber bolted towards his unconscious partner. He quickly found the holster and pulled out the second pistol. He flicked the safety off and aimed it at Naruto.
Naruto's eyes finally left his wrist as he looked at the man who was now pointing a gun at him.
Without a word being spoken the robber squeezed the trigger.
With Hinata
Hinata's eyes snapped back towards the bank as a gun shot was heard. Her hands instantly flying towards her mouth, the worst possible outcomes coming to her head.
Suddenly multiple other shots rang inside the bank causing tears to well up in Hinata's eyes automatically assuming the worse had happened to Naruto.
The police officers also went into action as they prepared to charge inside of the bank. But before anybody could make a move the doors to the bank opened.
Hinata's face brightened almost immediately as she saw the orange hoodie and whiskered cheeks. It was Naruto carrying two men on his shoulders a bright smile on his face.
The police officers quickly ran towards the man, recognizing him as the teenager that many of the hostages had spoken about during their stories. Naruto was happy to hand over the two men to the police as they urged him to let an ambulance see him. It was flattering at first, but the attention quickly annoyed the blonde haired boy as he struggled to find Hinata.
Hinata had yet to move from her position next to the ambulance car. She couldn't believe it, Naruto had stopped a bank robbery all by himself. Yeah she had heard all of the stories about his life, but to actual be a witness to how brave the boy could be, was breathtaking. Soon her eyes met his blue ones and she watched how the annoyed expression on his face quickly turned back into a smile as he broke away from the police officers and approached her.
"Thank god you're alright, I was worried." Were the first words out of Naruto's mouth when he approached Hinata.
Hinata's standard blush came rushing back at his admission as she redirected her eyes briefly. But she then forced herself to return his eye contact. "Thank you Naruto-kun...You saved my life..." Hinata said hoping that the boy understood just how indebted she was to him.
Naruto merely shrugged. "Eh, it was nothing. I could have taken those guys out in my sleep." He replied in a cocky tone, causing Hinata to give a small giggle. There certainly weren't many people like Naruto.
Her eyes then traveled behind Naruto as she saw the head police officer heading towards them. Hinata informed Naruto that now the police would want to talk to him about what had happened, and she could tell that by his expression he certainly didn't want to deal with it.
What Hinata didn't catch however was the mischievous glint that appeared in Naruto's blue eyes. Without giving her a chance to blink Naruto scooped up the lavender eyed girl causing her to squeal.
"N-N-Naruto-kun! What are you doing?!" Hinata managed to get out as Naruto began running nimbly avoiding the crowd that had gathered around the bank wanting to find out what was happening.
"There is no way, I'm going to spend the day talking to those guys! I'd much rather continue my tour of Tokyo!" Naruto replied as he turned around, proud of himself when he saw that nobody was following him. They obviously hadn't expected for him to run.
After a few more minutes of running Naruto finally stopped in front of a small coffee shop. "That should be far enough right." Naruto laughed.
Hinata was still a bit in shock. Half of her was wondering would they get in trouble by running away from the police, and the other half was a bit excited over the thrill of Naruto's actions. After taking a few seconds to calm herself down she looked up towards the blonde haired ninja who was now looking towards the ground.
"Damn...All of that action, made a a bit hungry.." Naruto complained as his stomach growled agreeing with his statement.
Hinata almost wanted to roll her eyes at how the boy didn't seem to comprehend just how serious his actions had been. "We can eat something here...It'll have to be cheap though, since I wasn't able to get any money.." Hinata replied a bit ashamed that she couldn't afford much. She wanted to repay Naruto for saving her life.
Luckily Naruto didn't seem to mind as he flashed her his signature smile and opened the door to the coffee shop, just happy he was going to be able to get something to eat.
Hinata told him to sit down and she would order something good for them both and Naruto complied. The moment he sat he grimaced, grabbing his side in pain.
Earlier in the Bank
Naruto's eyes widened as the man pulled the trigger. He didn't even think that he would possibly have another gun. Naruto's body acted out of pure instinct as he rolled out of the way barely avoiding the bullet.
"Shit!" The robber shouted, annoyed that he had missed. He re positioned his gun at Naruto and began firing multiple times, each one missing as Naruto ran towards him, ducking, and sidestepping mostl of his bullets.
Naruto cursed to himself as he felt a bullet tear through his hoodie and pierce his side pushing completely through, but he didn't allow the pain to stop him as he closed the remainder of the distance between him and the robber. With a shout of determination, Naruto delivered a powerful punch to the man's face instantly knocking him unconscious.
Naruto sighed, a bit happy that the situation was handled. He used the reversed side of his hoodie to wipe off the bit of the blood on his face that had come from the pistol whipping he had received earlier.
"Guess I better take these guys out.."
Present
"Damn..I completely forgot about this wound..." Naruto muttered to himself as he grabbed his hoodie. He could feel the blood slowly staining his white undershirt. The wound was obviously a lot more serious then he had deemed it. "I can't believe something so tiny can hurt this fucking bad..." Naruto groaned as he allowed his head to rest of the table.
He obviously had to patch up the wound, but he didn't want to worry Hinata. Plus if he did tell her she might force him to return back to the bank to have the police help him and that would lead to them questioning him for hours.
Naruto's eyes drifted towards a door labeled "Men's bathroom." and he smiled. Luckily he had the bandages that he used for his arm in his pouch so he could easily patch up the wound in there.
Happy with his decision Naruto stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Hinata saw him, and was going to ask where he was going, but her question was quickly answered when she watched the boy enter the restroom.
The moment Naruto closed the door he snatched off both his hoodie and t-shirt and gazed at his wound. He sighed after a few seconds before grabbing a few paper towels and wetting them, he gently rubbed the wet towels on the wound to clean up all of the blood. He would have preferred to use alcohol, but unfortunately water would have to do for now.
After reaching towards his pouch, Naruto pulled out his bandages and smiled glad that he carried it everywhere. He sat them down on the counter as he grabbed a few more paper towels intending to clean up the blood that he had gotten on his hands.
His eyes drifted towards the door while he was cleaning his blood as he saw it open. His blue eyes immediately locked eyes with the black ones of a man dressed in casual clothes. Naruto was going to say "what's up" to be polite, but changed his mind once he saw the man's facial expression.
It looked...Scared?
Naruto suddenly realized what he was doing. Sure his wound was clean, but now there were just a bunch of blood stained paper towels laying everywhere.
"Hehe...I know what your thinking, but I didn't kill anyone..This is my blood." Naruto slowly started, but the man had already bolted from the bathroom before the word "this" had left Naruto's mouth.
Naruto groaned as he listened to the man screaming in the coffee house, creating a large misunderstanding. Naruto quickly wrapped his bandages around his wound and put back on his clothes despite the small amounts of blood on them.
When he exited the bathroom all eyes were on him. Some in fear, and others in curiosity. Naruto also noticed a few people ready to bolt out of the door at the slightest hint of danger.
"Umm.." Naruto started unable to think of anything else to say.
Hinata had heard the man say there was a man cleaning up a large amount of blood in the bathroom and she had instantly gotten worried. She should have known that the boy would play off how hurt he was. She had heard his stories after all, he wouldn't want her to worry.
"Naruto-kun...Are you really alright?" Hinata questioned as she approached the blonde haired boy, ignoring all the stares.
A hand instantly flew behind his head as the blonde gave a nervous chuckle. "Hehe..I guess I was a little reckless earlier.."
Hinata worries instantly increased as she absorbed the boy's appearance. It didn't take her long to find the obvious bullet hole in the orange hoodie. "Naruto! We have to get you to a hospital, you've been shot!" Hinata shouted her shock over the new information forcing her to forget to add an honorific and her manners.
Instantly the look of fear that had been on the faces of some of the people in the coffee shop became a look of concern. A few people instantly pulled out their cellphones intending to call an ambulance.
"I'm fine really..It's not that big of a deal..Can we just forget about it and eat.." Naruto urged causing the people in the shop to pause.
Hinata's facial expression showed clearly that she didn't like Naruto's idea.
"Please." Naruto seemingly begged. After a few seconds Hinata finally sighed.
"Do you promise that you're alright?" She quietly asked. Naruto quickly nodded a smile coming to his face as he realized she was going to drop it.
Against her better judgement Hinata nodded as she walked back to their table. She wasn't aware at all at the looks she and Naruto were getting, but after a few minutes the atmosphere became less tense and everybody seemed to go about their business. Either believing that Naruto hadn't been shot and people were just being over dramatic, or just thinking if the blonde didn't seem concerned why should they.
Naruto looked down at the small breakfast Hinata had gotten him and she could tell he wasn't satisfied with it. "I'm sorry...That's all I could.." Hinata started only to be interrupted with Naruto loudly clapping his hands.
"Food looks so different here, but it smells great! Thanks Hinata." Naruto said in a loud tone before he began eating.
Hinata gave a small smile, she knew that Naruto had seen that she had felt bad and once again he was going out of his way to make sure that she didn't. He really was too kind.
"No..Thank you Naruto-kun, but...We might need to go home for today..For one the police might be searching for you, and then I don't think you should be walking around with a bullet hole and blood on your clothing.." Hinata suddenly said causing Naruto to look at her with a surprised expression.
This time he was unable to hide his disappointment, but ultimately he agreed that she was right. He would rather be inside then have to deal with answering a bunch of questions all day.
Thus, the two headed back to Hinata's dorm after Naruto finished eating. Which turned out to be a pretty good idea since Hinata had no money and Naruto looked liked he had just been in a gang fight.
Luckily for the two it had been pretty easy to get Naruto back inside Hinata's dorm room since the rules weren't as strict during the weekend.
"Jeez, we've only been gone for maybe two hours, but it feels like it's been all day." Naruto said as he allowed himself to fall onto Hinata's bed briefly forgetting that it wasn't his room
He instantly realized his mistake as he stood up and apologized. Hinata just waved him off, saying it wasn't a big deal as she grabbed a pair of loose fitting pants along with her favorite hoodie and walked into the bathroom. Since she was in her room she had no intentions of still being dressed as if she was going out.
Naruto decided to take of his hoodie, and frowned as he looked at it. "Damn..I really liked this too." He muttered as he looked at the small hole in it.
Once Hinata walked out of the bathroom dressed in pants and her purple and white hoodie. She gasped when she saw Naruto's white t-shirt stained red. "Naruto-kun! I thought you said you were alright, this is serious!" Hinata almost yelled as she saw the amount of blood that was on the boy's shirt.
Naruto was a bit caught off guard, by the girl's loud tone, but quickly composed himself. "It's fine. I already handled it earlier at that shop." Naruto answered as he lifted up his white shirt showing Hinata the bandages on his wound.
A blush instantly came to Hinata's face at the boy's actions. "N-Naruto-kun! Alright I understand! Please cover yourself!" Hinata stuttered out although the site of Naruto's bare stomach seemed to be cementing itself into her brain. Despite the bandages that were wrapped around it she could still see the defined ab muscles and the thought was making the blood rush to her face.
Naruto shrugged as he put his shirt down and turned on the TV. "So I guess we're just going to be sitting in here for the rest of the day huh?" Naruto asked although you could tell that he was hoping that Hinata didn't say yes.
"Well...Unfortunately yes..We can try again a different day..Plus I have to find another bank so I can get the money that my father..." Hinata started before a thought came to her head.
She instantly pulled out her cell phone not bothering to finish her sentence. and dialed a number.
Naruto watched the girl with an intrigued expression, wondering what she was doing.
"Hello?" Hinata suddenly said confusing Naruto since there was nobody else in the room.
"Umm..Hinata?" Naruto replied figuring she must have been talking to him, but she simply held a finger to her lips signaling for him to be silent. Naruto was going to protest, but decided against it as she continued talking.
"There was a robbery at the bank today..." Hinata slowly said. She paused for a second and Naruto could now tell that obviously someone was talking to her from the gadget that she had at her ear.
"No, I'm fine, but one man was shot..." Hinata once again started speaking. Her expression turning into a frown as she recalled the details from the bank robbery. She had mentally blocked out the scene of watching a man murdered in cold blood without even realizing it.
"I suppose I will speak to you later..." Hinata finally replied after a long pause. She then hung up the phone and sighed. Her father did sound concerned, but still, he could have been at least a little comforting..
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked after seeing the down expression on the girl's face.
Hinata nodded slowly, but didn't reply.
Hiashi closed his cell phone and sighed as he looked up from his desk towards the large flat screen that hung above his office. He silently turned the television on and switched it to a news station curious about the bank robbery that his eldest daughter had just spoken about.
"According to eyewitnesses the suspects were taken down by someone who was described to be in his late teens or early 20s. Apparently the young blonde was able to subdue the robbers without any help from the police officers at all!" The news reporter spoke in a loud bubbly tone.
"Police report that the suspects had tied the security guards in a restroom and had killed one man during the robbery, so these men were not to be taken lightly. It is amazing to think that somebody so young would be so brave."
Hiashi watched with interest. It was rare that he actually heard about somebody who wasn't a coward.
"However, police also say that one of the suspects claimed that the boy used a kunai knife...For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a particular weapon that shinobi used in the distant past.. It's highly unusual for such a weapon to be used, although nothing has been confirmed. The blonde haired boy was unable to be reached for comment since he fled the scene shortly after with a girl who looked to be around the same age."
Hiashi felt his heart skip.."A kunai knife...It couldn't be.." He muttered to himself. A feeling washed over him that he hadn't felt in a long time. Worry. Instantly he began dialing his eldest daughter's number once again. It took a few seconds but she finally picked up.
"Hinata, is a blonde haired boy with you right now?" He questioned immediately, not beating around the bush.
To say that Hinata was surprised by her father's question would be an understatement. How did he know about Naruto? She was taken out of her thoughts as her father repeated his question, his patience clearly running thin.
"No..Father, why?" Hinata lied. She didn't know why she lied. After all if her father suspected something, then maybe he had more information about Naruto then she.
Hiashi didn't answer, but Hinata could hear what sounded like a sigh of relief. "Good..I was watching the report on the bank robbery, and I believe that boy is very dangerous..."
Hinata's eyes traveled to Naruto. Although her father had clearly just given her a warning about the boy, she didn't feel any fear. How could she be scared of the man who just saved her life. "I don't think he is father..." Hinata muttered a bit hesitant to disagree with her dad.
"Hinata. I am serious, if you are approached by the boy in the bank I want you to contact me. This is very important."
The lavender eyed girl bit her lip feeling a bit conflicted. She didn't exactly enjoy lying to her father, but she didn't want to expose Naruto to him especially if her father deemed him to be dangerous.
"I'll be in contact." Her father said in a blunt tone before hanging up, not bothering to say goodbye.
Naruto's eyes silently told Hinata that he was curious as to what had just happened. It obviously seemed to effect her. Hinata hesitated briefly before telling Naruto not to worry, it wasn't anything important. The boy clearly had enough worries, he didn't need to know that some how her father had known that they would meet. There was obviously a lot going on, but she wasn't going to be able to get any answers from her father, she and Naruto would have to figure it out on their own.
Hiashi couldn't help, but feel a nagging feeling as he hung up his phone. Had his daughter lied to him? No..Hinata would never do such a thing he reasoned. His eldest was very trustworthy. Had she been in contact with the boy she definitely would have told him.
The silver eyed man slowly opened his desk drawer and looked at the contents. He hesitantly pulled out a black headband.
"I just hope my past hasn't finally caught up to me.." Hiashi muttered as he traced over the Konoha emblem.
WOAH! Hiashi has a past and it definitely seems to be connected to Naruto! What does he know? Why does he have a Konoha headband? Guess you'll have to keep tuning in to find out!
You guys don't know how much trouble I had writing the bank scene...Lol I must have rewritten it around 5 times. Hell Naruto had picked up the gun himself in one of the versions lol. In the end I decided that this was the best one.
Before anyone points out Naruto's handling of his bullet wound, don't worry that is an issue that will be addressed later in the story. Obviously you can't just clean it with water and wrap it up, but he doesn't know that which will cause problems. Normally I don't like giving hints at the future storyline, I just don't want the reviews to be filled with people mentioning it. Haha!
I'm really thankful for the people who have been reviewing though! I really appreciate it and please keep them coming! It helps me write quicker lol.
I also appreciate the constructive criticism! It really helps, since in the end I write these stories to help me improve my writing so please feel free to point out my mistakes so I can correct them and hopefully not make them in the future.
Finally above 20k words! Let's keep it going!
