(Naruto's 10 years old/ dark/ smart Naruto, but not evil. He shall show his original personality every so often.)

Naruto was running down an alley, a crowd of angry drunken asshole villagers in hot pursuit. 'Why do they do this every year on my birthday!? Ojji-san save me!' Naruto exclaimed in his head as he ran into a dead end corner. "They are close by!" Naruto said frantically to himself, as the sound of the crowd getting increasingly closer, signaling his possible impending doom.

A little 11 year old Hinata hears the commotion down the alley, and decides to investigate. 'W- why are they beating that poor kid!?' Hinata thought to herself horrifyingly. "S- stop attacking him!" Hinata exclaimed meekly, before finding her voice "STOP!" Hinata exclaimed as loudy as she could, surprising herself, stopping a genin from ending Naruto with a swift, and lethal kunai.

The leader of the group, obviously drunk off his ass stepped up to Hinata, stumbling a bit. "Look little girl... Get gone... Before we *hic* have to hurt you for *hic* have to hurt you for being that things friend..." He said through his hiccups, and then ran off to the corner to puke, motioning for the thugs to continue, while he recovered his stomach, but right before the kunai hit home, Hinata body checked the guy as best as she could, sending the kunai sliding into the shadows.

The thug cursed, and backhanded Hinata, only sending her back a few inches. "Damn it... Those things are expensive..." The thug said, then drew a trench knife from a boot sheath, raising it above his head, and slamming it down with full force as Hinata was held back.

Naruto clenched his eyes, waiting for the impact to end him, but it never came. 'Nani?' Naruto thought, then all he felt was the cool embrace of the nights breeze caress his skin. "I must be dead..." Naruto muttered to himself, then peeked through his eyes, all the thugs scattered around him in a perfect circle. "D- did you do this?" Hinata asked in fear at a bewildered Hinata, who shook her head furiously, pointing at Naruto, awe, shock, and terror riddled her porcelain face.

Naruto was confused as to what happened, as a few of the crowd that wasn't seriously injured, ran off in fear, and the brave, mostly uninjured one's stood their ground. "I don't know how you did that, but I'm going to kill you!" He exclaimed, as Naruto held his hands up in some semblance of defense, an invisible wall, extending from all directions, forcing the charging thug into a nearby wall, impacting leaving a small crater in the wall, with a sickening thud, probably killing him.

Hinata cringed at the sound of the sickening thud, keeping her eyes on Naruto, being unaffected by the invisible wall that once again came from Naruto once again. 'W- What was that!? It was like a breeze to me, but forced everyone else away. "Ano... Are you ok?" Hinata asked meekly, finally able to see his eyes, they were deep blue, before fading to a pale purple, not exactly purple, but not exactly lavender, with what resembled a ripple pattern accross his eyes, starting at his dot of a pupil which was all black, startling Hinata a bit at the sudden change. "A- Ano... Your eyes just changed" She said, walking to the cowering boy. "I'm not here to hurt you, I tried to save you" Hinata said, seeing the boy visibly relax, before he passed out, leaning on Hinata a bit. "Are you ok!?" Hinata exclaimed, then heard the boy snoring lightly, then she relaxed.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Mini Time Skip: Setting:

Hyuuga compound, a guest room
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Naruto stretched, and yawned, before the memories of what happened before he blacked out. "Don't hit me anymore! Please!" Naruto exclaimed, curling up into a little ball, awakening the Hyuuga heiress that was watching over his sleeping form after bringing him back, sneaking in.

Hinata rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, then turned on the nearby bed lamp. "Ano... Its me, H- Hinata, from earlier." She said softly, noticing Naruto's eyes land on him, causing him to relax again. "What's your name?" She asked curiously, seeing Naruto realize she wasn't a threat.

Naruto flopped back down onto the bed, sighing lightly "My name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." He said, his genuine smile showing through his mask of impassiveness. "Nice to meet you Hinata-chan." He said, then much to Naruto, and Hinata's surprise, she hugged him, then Naruto flinched a bit at the sudden movement, not really knowing what to do, he wrapped his arms around Hinata, and hugs her back, loving the smell of oranges coming from Hinata. "You smell great Hinata..." Naruto mused really to himself more than anything, loving the smell.

Hinata blushed brightly, then pulled back reluctantly. "T- Thank you Naruto-kun, well you are welcome to stay the night, you are safe here, stepping on Hyuuga grounds without our permission means a declaration of war for anyone else, even Hokage-sama." Hinata said, then got up to leave, but felt a hand grab her wrist softly, stopping her embarrassed retreat.

"H- Hinata-chan... Would it be too much to ask for you to stay with me tonight? I am afraid of being alone..." Naruto trails, blushing gently, causing Hinata to blush even more than before, but she nodded, getting into bed with Naruto. "Thank you Hinata-chan, I'll be able to sleep well now. Naruto said, Hinata laying down next to Naruto, them both drifting off to sleep soon after.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Significant Time Skip: 4 years: Naruto graduated the academy the first time, top of the class, after the event where he killed a thug, he was never bothered by another villager, and the Hokage, much to the groups displeasure, the Hokage pardoned him, saying it was in self defense, but the couldn't rebuke him, because he threatened them with treason, for attacking his self adopted grandson, that stopped a lot of attacks, and harassment from irate villagers. Also Madara/ Tobi never joined the Akatsuki, so they never became evil, but mercenaries trying to better the world, after hearing of their existence, he immediately joined up with them. And after the teams were chosen, Naruto was put on team 8 with Hinata, and Kiba. Shino had replaced Naruto on team 7, with Sasuke, and Sakura, who were still the same.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Naruto was sitting in the Hokage's office, decked out in his standard Akatsuki cloak, black fabric, with red, and white clouds patterning it. "jii-san, what's our next mission?" Naruto asked bluntly, ready to just go ahead, and get his mission over with, so he could get back to just relaxing with his girlfriend. 'Maybe it will be a mission that doesn't involve Tora the demon cat again." Naruto mused to himself as his girlfriend to his right sat, watching the Hokage silently.

Kiba was sitting in the chair to Naruto's left, grooming Akamaru, who was the size of an average labrador now. "Yeah! We have done 40 c ranked missions, give us another b-ranked already!" Kiba exclaims in his normal brutish manor, very impatient to say the least, but his head strong attitude was a good aspect about him as a ninja, and a team player, were all things that made him a great ninja.

Hinata just sat there quietly, not really wanting to speak, as to not be too much of a bother to anyone, but finally found her voice. "A-ano... We have done our missions well enough, I- think we are read for something bigger." Hinata said softly, then Kurenai, who was their sub still staying quiet up till this point, spoke.

Kurenai cleared her throat, to garner the Hokage's attention, and succeeding in such. "I believe they are indead ready to go on to b-rank, and if they show apptitude enough later, an a rank, but they are not ready for an s-rank as of yet. Their teamwork is second to none." Kurenai said proudly, her smile never falrtering the progress her students had made in a short time, ever since their first day together.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Flashback (1 year): Kurenai watched as her students stood before her at training grounds 8. "Today we will be testing you guys, this decides if you become a genin, or need another year at the academy." Kurenai said bluntly, examining each one of their shocked faces, smirking to herself, because ot was a test to test their teamwork, and now it was time to give them a hint to this test, maybe one of them would notice, and step up as team leader. "If one of you fail, you all fail." Kurenai says, putting extra emphasis on this fact, taking in their even more shocked faces, but when she looked into Naruto's eyes, she also saw he understood her unworded hint to the reason behind the test.

'Either she let that slip, or she said it to see if we would notice it, but either way, considering we are on a team, it is only obvious we should work together." Naruto thought, then Naruto looked over to Hinata, who seemed to be slowly coming to understanding this, but Kiba still seemed to be in the dark mostly, due to his innate thickheadedness.

Hinata had a lightbulb go off in her head, when she noticed the unspoken meaning behind their sensei's words. 'I know Naruto-kun has probably realized this, but Kiba-kun seems to be stuck on the fact we may go back to the academy if we fail this test.' Hinata thought to herself, then turned her attention back to her sensei, who was starting to explain what the test was going to be, and how they could pass.

Kurenai chuckled lightly at the two who were quick to catch on, and began describing the test. "The test is to catch me, and since I am more than likely above your skill level, I will lower myself to mid-genin level, and use taijutsu, and academy jutsu of henge only. However you catch me, is entirley up to you. You have until sundown, after that, you fail." Kurenai said, taking a moment to let this sink into their heads.

Naruto was almost at Nara level, when it came to Tatician skill, and was already making a plan, up to 100 moves a head, with Shikimaru being one of his only friends, he was quick to catch on to Shikimaru's natural born talent for plans. "Alright, is that it?" Naruto asked, a bit bored with only talking, adjusting his cloak to allow for easier swift movements.

Kiba raised an eyebrow to Naruto's over eagernes, normally he was calm and collected, but his old personallity poking through. "Yeah! Lets go sensei!" Kiba exclaimed, even more eager than his teamate.

Hinata just nodded, as Kurenai looked upon them with contempt, sizing them up for the challange.

"Good, then lets start." Kurenai said, as the world seemed to crack around the edges, then alltogether shattered, bringing them back to the real world, all of them staring in shock, as where their sensei was once standing, was nothing there now.

Naruto was the most caught off guard by this, because he had met the Kyuubi before, and he had told him, he was all but immune to genjutsu's for two reasons, his massive chakra reserve, which was currently on high jonin level, and his latently awakened doujutsu called rinnegan. "That took a lot of skill, to trick even me..." Naruto thought with a chuckle, then turned to Hinata. "Hinata can you find her?" Naruto asked with a level tone, snapping Hinata out of her surprised stupor easily.

Hinata looked to Naruto, regaining her wits, then nodded, and quietly said "Byakugan!" Activating her bloodline, veins pulsing on the side of her head, but she shook her head in dissmay, her sensei had cloaked her chakra signature, making it that much harder to find her. "Sorry Naru-kun, but no..." Hinata trailed off, blushing a bit realizing she had given Naruto a nickname, but was down she was not able to help Naruto, feeling like she let him down.

Naruto smiled gently at Hinata, one of his few smiles now a days. "Its ok hun, it would be too easy if we could just find her right away." Naruto said, then turned to Kiba, when he saw Hinata smile. "Kiba, use your surperior sense of smell to sniff her out." Naruto said, Kiba nodded, turning his head upward, and sniffing the a bit, as Akamaru, who was only slightly bigger than before, popped his head out of his jacket, sniffing the air too.

Kiba nodded, then motioned for them to follow him. "I smell her, lets go!" Kiba exclaimed, running for the forrest line, heading for the smell of his new sensei.

Kurenai chuckled to herself, and sat by two other logs, where she was henged as a third log, had already taken the precaution to hide her scent by rubbing on tree's at various points of the forrest. 'Lets see how long it takes dog boy to realize this.' Kurenai thought with a silent giggle, as she pulled out her icca icca paradise copy, and started reading it, as she waited for her students to find her.

Naruto took point, as they came on the first strong point of her scent, which was coming from a tree a good distance away from the training grounds. 'I'll rush her, and while she is distracted, take her down!' Naruto mouthed to his teamates, then counted down. '3... 2... 1...' On one, Naruto lept down with easily high chunin level speed, landing in front of the tree, realizing as he got down there, that no one was there, but it was too late, he was already wrapped around the tree with ninja wire. (Its the wire that Kakashi trapped Sasuke to that tree when he tried his first time to abandon the village) "What the?! You guy! No one's here! We've been had!" Narut exclaimed, then struggled at the ninja wire, but it dug into him, and his cloak, starting to cut him, so he stopped as his teamates freed him.

Hinata blushed deeply realizing she had messed up by trapping Naruto instead of her sensei. "Gomen Naru-kun..." Hinata said, helping Naruto up.

Kiba rubbed the back of his head, and chuckled nervously a bit. "Yeah... Sorry 'bout that!" He said, the retracted his ninja wire into a spool on his belt. "We have two more points to check out, and..." Kiba trailed, looking at the suns position for a second to figure out the time. "More than enough time to track her down." Kiba said, taking point again, tree hopping to the next point of the smells. 'This one seems too old to be any good, and the freshest one is near the training grounds.' Kiba said, still keeping silent, just in case Kurenai was still around, rushing back to the training grounds, using chakra to muffle their foot steps off tree branches to tree branches.

Kurenai could sense their chakra signatures coming back torwards her, then chuckled to herself, closing her book, slipping it into a pouch on her butt. 'Time for my grand finalle I guess.' Kurenai thought to herself with a smirk, before focusing on them.

Naruto came back to the clearing, and could clearly see her through her weak henge, that he assumed was intentional. 'So she was behind us the entire time? No wonder I couldn't see her after she broke the genjutsu.' Naruto thought as he stopped his teamates from entering the clearing, motioning to he three logs placed at the far side of the clearing. 'Henge' is all he mouthed, his teamates instantly understanding what he meant, then he held up 1 finger, signifing it was the first post she was at.

Hinata nodded, and Kiba did too, as they broke appart, deciding to use a pincer attack, to take hef by what they thought was surprise, but she saw them seperate, and go in for a surprise attack.

'Seems that Naruto kid is the team leader, I will have to keep an eye out for him in the future, he has a lot of potential.' Kurenai thought to herself, confident with her prediction of the future, molding the chakra it would require to once again trick them.

Naruto took the frontal attack, not surprising Kurenai by their position choice. 'Seems she hasn't noticed us yet, good.' Naruto mused to himself, then his eyes widened as he noticed what was a hidden smoke bomb, as he stepped the trigger, enveloping the area in a giant cloud of smoke as Hinata, and Kiba came in, as the smoke cleared, the fake log was gone, but there were two Hinata's.

Kurenai smirked inwardly, although her outward appearance as Hinata was one of complete surprise. "N- Naru-kun! Why are there two of me?!" Kurenai said in a perfect Hinata voice, and persona.

The real Hinata was just as confused as the fake Hinata, then looked to her teamates. "N- Naru-kun, t-thats a fake, I have been with you, and Kiba the entire time..." Hinata said meekly to Naruto.

Naruto sighed, as a famous saying of Naruto's favorite Nara would say, 'this is troublesome...' Naruto had to think quickly over how he would seperate the real from the fake. 'Yata! Henge's only take on outward appearence, so her bloodline cannot be copied!' Naruto thought, allowing a confident smirk to grace his lips a bit, hidden by the collar of his high collared cloak. "Hinata's use Byakugan for a second." Naruto mused outloud to the two bluenettes, only one nodding.

The fake Hinata chuckled lightly, then the general area around her flickered, before the familiar image of their sensei reappeared infront of them.

"Well done you guys, I am pretty sure you guys were the fastest to ever get past my test, the last team took all day to find me, and were sent back to the academy." Kurenai said bluntly, but her smile never faltered. "You pass, your teamwork was excellent, you are now officially Konoha Shinobi." She said, illiciting cheers from her students. "Meet me at Akamichi bbq in an hour to celebrate, I'm buying." She said, then shunshied away from them.

Kiba highfived Naruto, and Naruto as Akamaru yips happily. "Yata! We did it!" He said, running off towards the village, more specifically to the Inuzuka compound to brag about his official promotion.

Naruto and Hinata were left alone, then Naruto picked up Hinata, and swung her around, hugging her lovingly, before putting her down, their face meer inches away from each other, both of them flushing lightly at how close they were, but Naruto was the one to make the move, leaning in, and kissing Hinata gently, causing both of them to smile in the middle of the kiss, but Hinata happily kisses back. "Hinata-chan..." Naruto trailled off, fidgetting a little at the question he was burning to ask. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Naruto asks a bit emberrasedly.

Hinata couldn't believe it, her crush was asking her out, she fainted from the sheer happiness she felt.

Naruto's eyes widened to the size of saucers when he saw her reaction, thinking he hurt her, he set down on the ground softly, then frantically looked to see if he could see whats wrong, his Rinnegan not registering anything physically wrong with her, and thats when he heard it, ever so softly, but there, Hinata's snoring, causing him to break into his trademark grin, before picking her up princess style, and walking for their home, the Hyuuga compound.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sorry for being a bit cliffhangery, but I think that was a good place to end for the time being.
