The Return of the Hyuga (Nightly's continuation)

Feelings

- -Hinata's POV- -
Kakashi-Sensei asked me to go and get some food and talk for a while. After a short small talk, he came out and admitted this was a test to see how I thought. I chuckled at his confession whilst he awkwardly laughed, scratching the back of his head. Whilst walking through the street, we began to actually talk. About shinobi, what kind of exercises I did while I was away and how I developed my lion fist jutsu. I admitted it just happened after I gotten very angry after some thug tried to rob me. "Hm" he said response. We kept on walking for I don't how long when we suddenly heard running footsteps. As our eyes went towards the sound, we saw..Naruto? He was running while crying. He didn't look at us. He just kept on running and running. And running until we couldn't even see him. "That was..strange" Kakashi-Sensei said. "What happened for him to cry like that?" He said again. As I was filled with concerned, I remembered it was today hid date with Sakura. Something must've happened during that date.

- -Naruto's POV- -
Do I like Hinata? That question kept ringing in my head over and over again. I sat next to the river for hours, the sky turning into a deep orange and red. I was deep and lost in thought as I tried to answer the question. I felt like such an asshole after finally putting all the pieces together. She always liked me: She was the only that truly respected me during the academy days, she was the one always asking me if i was ok after I fell, and when she left her goodbye was her confession. But I was too blind to see it. And even my side of the coin was similar: My sudden excitement when she fought Kakashi and how she was so much more confident with herself. How I felt jealous when I saw her with Shikamaru before me when she arrived. She always liked me and I liked her for a while too. But my shy smile rapidly fell. All this thinking also made me realize her reaction when I said I had a date with Sakura. How she didn't even look at me, how she was cold and quick with her recommendation before her sudden leaving. Even before the spar with Kakashi-Sensei, how she always looked down when I arrived. "God I'm such an idiot!" I screamed, making birds fly out from the woods in-front of me. I stood up and faced the tree that was giving me shade and protection from the setting sun. I slowly began to punch it, a soft jab. But it rapidly began to become a volley of punches, adding kicks afterwards. I began to screamed, a scream of anger as the tree slowly chipped away. Why why why why WHY! As I felt my anger at myself finally reached its limits, I made a small rasengan in my hands and hit the tree with it, making a large swirling pattern on the tree. It slowly began to fall back and snapped before hitting the floor. My knuckles were bleeding. My pants were torn. My hand burned and pulsating in pain. And everything went black.

- -Sasuke's POV- -
I was walking alongside the running river inside the forest. Clearing my head from dark thoughts when I began to hear faint knocks. As if someone was punching wood. It quickly became much more violent, as the punches became louder. I ran towards the noise. Who's doing that? I thought, sensing the chakra growing and growing but it then exploded, as a massive explosion was heard. As I arrived at the heart of the sound, I saw Naruto breathing heavily, dripping blood from his knuckles. I looked towards the tree as it began to fall and creating a loud snap when it reached the floor. The tree was completely chipped and slightly painted with blood. But my eyes caught something just in the nick of time. I looked towards Naruto as he fell unconscious but was caught by...

Shikamaru?
