I'm finally writing a Naruhina fic!(It's one of my favorite couples but I'm a procrastinator…) Anyway I want to try to reply to reviews for once!! (Because I have no social life… I'm kidding… Don't take it seriously...) I hope you all enjoy the fic!

Disclaimer -I don't own Naruto (I wish I did)

Chapter 1

Fragile pink petals fell at Hinata's feet as she instructed her class.

"A kunoichi must be able to blend in with normal women while on missions. One good way to blend in is to arrange flowers. Now I want all of you to go out into the fields and gather some flowers for arranging alright?" Hinata said boldly.

It was easier to open up among the young future kunoichi of the village for her. Hinata was just glad to be doing something she enjoyed. The young girls ran off, running towards the flowers scattered among other plants by the training fields. Hinata sighed and began walking near the training grounds. Naruto was training hard with his shadow clones. Hinata blushed slightly. After all the years she's known him, she still hadn't gotten the chance to admit her feelings to him. And after all that time, her girlish crush had matured into love. She continued to watch Naruto from afar. Beads of sweat fell from his bare chest. Hinata blushed further.

'Maybe I should say something-'

"Hinata-sensei! Are these flowers good for arranging?" One of the girls said loudly as she pulled on the edge of Hinata's jacket. Hinata stopped blushing and returned to attending to the students.

Naruto, in anbu attire, continued to train. He defeated his kagebushin quickly. As to be expected from an anbu black op. He panted for a bit and then took off towards the Hokage's office. He arrived there within a matter of minutes.

"You're late Naruto… You probably picked that up from Kakashi I presume." Tsunande scolded as she filled out paperwork behind mountains of paper on her desk. "Only by a few minutes." Naruto said as he secured a fox shaped mask over his face. "More like a few hours…" A female voice said from behind him.

Naruto turned around. She wore a red and pink rabbit mask.

"You're just early Sakura-chan!"

A slight chuckle could be heard from behind Sakura's mask. She and Naruto had been together for a number of months now. After Sasuke left the village and Naruto returned, she found that she actually liked Naruto as a bit more then a friend.

"Come now you two. This is a serious matter." Tsunande yelled. "The two of you are to infiltrate Otogakure and capture this man. She slid them a small photo from across her desk. The gaze he had in the picture was terrifying. It was obvious that he wouldn't be an easy opponent.

"His name is Yakushi Kabuto. I'm sure you remember him. He's made his way into the bingo book as an S-ranked missing-nin so keep your guard up at all time. He's supposedly been causing trouble and creating a revolt against Konohagakure so attempt to get some information out of him before taking him out alright Naruto?"

"Why is that directed at me?" Naruto grumbled.

"Because I know for a fact that Sakura can control herself. You have five hours to get ready. Good luck. You'll need it."

The two nodded and calmly walked out of her office. Naruto immediately tore his mask off once the door behind them closed.

"What did you do that for?" Sakura asked.

"I can barely breathe through that thing!" Naruto groaned.

Sakura giggled and took her mask off as well.

"Well then, I'll be going. I'll see you later Naruto-kun!" Sakura blushed.

Naruto waved goodbye and they left their separate ways.

"I'll go to Ichiraku's first then I'll do some more training… Or maybe I should train first then get some ramen…"Naruto pondered as he walked down the busy streets of Konohagakure.

Hinata dismissed her class about four hundred meters away.

"For the next week we'll be arranging flowers so practice at home alright?" Hinata smiled as the energetic girls ran off form the academy grounds.

'I think I'll have some ramen later today. I wonder if I'll see Naruto-kun.' Hinata thought as she took off her jacket and tied it around her waist.

The smell of freshly cooked ramen filled the air. Hinata ducked under the hanging signs of the shop and sat down at the counter.

"Umm… I'll have one miso pork ramen please." She said quietly. Hinata sat patiently at the counter as a few customers came and left.

"One miso pork ramen please old man!" Naruto exclaimed as he sat down at the counter next to Hinata.

'Oh my gosh… He's right next to me… He ordered the same thing I did too… I bet he doesn't even realize I'm he-'

"Hi Hinata-chan!" Naruto smiled.

Hinata's signature blush spread across her cheeks. She hesitated to give reply.

"H… Hi Naruto-kun. Umm… How are you?" Hinata managed as she pressed her index fingers together shyly.

"Pretty good! I have a mission in a few hours so I decided to have some ramen and train a little before I leave! How about you?" Naruto asked.

"Um… Well I'm alright… I uh… I'm teaching at the academy now…" Hinata blushed further.

"Order up!" Teuchi yelled as he placed a large bowl of miso pork ramen in front of each Naruto and Hinata. "Enjoy!"

"Hey Hinata? I didn't know you liked miso pork ramen too!" Naruto said as he broke his chopsticks.

"Um… Well I saw you eating it a lot so I umm… I assumed that it was good. This is your favorite place to eat after all…" Hinata blushed.

"Really? Most people think I have bad taste. Anyway let's eat! Itadakimasu!!" Naruto exclaimed as he dove into his ramen.

Hinata nodded in agreement as she took small servings of ramen at a time.

'I can't believe we actually had a conversation… I'm so embarrassed… It's almost like we're on a date. I wonder what everyone else is thinking…' Hinata thought as she quietly ate her ramen.

She looked around and noticed that people were staring. She felt warm and her blush returned. She quickly turned around to find that Naruto had already finished his ramen.

'That was fast…'Hinata thought looking at her own bowl. It was about half full.

"Umm… If you want… You can umm… Have the rest of mine…" Hinata blushed.

"Thanks!" Naruto smiled.

He finished the bowl quickly. Hinata simply gazed at him while he ate.

'He's so cute… Especially when he eats…'

"You have a bit of noodle on you cheek Naruto-kun." Hinata giggled.

"Oh?" Naruto asked. He rubbed his cheeks for a bit. "Did I get it?"

"Yes…" Hinata replied.

"Thanks again Hinata-chan! We should do this more often!" Naruto smiled as he left the money on the counter and left the shop.

'He… We… We had a real conversation… I'm so happy!' Hinata thought to herself. She turned to pay the bill.

"Naruto paid for it already." Teuchi said with his back turned to her.

"He… He did?!? I have to go thank him!" Hinata said timidly as she rushed out of the shop. Naruto had already left to train.

"Well that was to be expected after all… I suppose I'll thank him later then…" Hinata said quietly to herself.
