There were many traps across the village and some of them were life threatening.

Naruto realized that they could die at any moment, after he got hit on the head by a log making him pass out for a few minutes and that also meant that he had to tell Hinata he loved her.. He didn't want it to be like those sad love stories.. Naruto would regret it if she died before he told her how much he loved her.. 

They spent the whole day hanging out, making jokes like the world wasn't crumbling around them

 Being with Hinata made things less serious and fun.. He was sure Hinata felt the same with the pretty pink blush that was on her face. She was practically glowing of happiness..

Right now they were building shelter, It was fairly easy.. because of the debris conveniently scattered around them

"Hinata?"-Naruto called out picking up a large wood block

"Yeah?"-Hinata called out a few feet away from him

"Y'know.. If you were a vegetable, Which one would you be?"-Naruto grinned

"Seriously?.. That's so random.. but If I had to I'd be a cucumber, They taste nice"-Hinata giggled

"I can imagine you being a cucumber.. No, If you were a vegetable you'd be a 'cute-cumber'.. Your too cute"-Naruto in an overly dramatic fashion

He could see the tips of her ears go red.. She sneezed in a chibi fashion..

"I'd say 'God bless you' but looks like he already did.."-Naruto glanced at her..

"F-Fine..I'll go too...N-No wonder the sky is g-gray—all the color is in your e-e-eyes."-Hinata shot back blushing furiously while avoiding his gaze

If that's how she wanted to play then sure.. Two can play at that game.. Naruto smirked looked at her with amusement in his eyes.

"You hand looks heavy.. Can I hold it for you?"-Naruto

"Sure.. I-I mean No..."-Hinata looking like a Tomato before carelessly slipping on a patch of mud

"See your hand was too heavy for you chibi body.. Now let me hold it"-Naruto grinned pulling her up

"I just slipped at the wrong time.."-Hinata muttered pouting

"So you wanna hold my hand or not?"-Naruto teased

"Uh.. Yes please"-Hinata meekly hiding behind her bangs

"Thought so.."-Naruto helping pick up the sticks she'd gathered in companionable silence..

"That reminds me Hinata?"-Naruto looking at her

"Yeah.."-Hinata looking at him

Not now.. Now's not the time to tell her..

He wanted to tell her at the perfect moment.

"Never mind"-Naruto pulling her towards their 'home'..

Their 'home' was a large leaf tied on two poles.. but it was the people that made the house feel like home right?

The sun was setting and it was absolutely beautiful..

Now's the time..

"Hinata.. Y'know that you can die anytime?"-Naruto started

"So your saying that I'm weak?"-Hinata without looking at him

shit.. Hinata Hyuga does not like being called weak.. Especially if someone close to her called her Weak...

"N-No.. I didn't mean it that way..It's just everything's so suspicious and dangerous and-"-Naruto with a panicked expression.

"Excuse me, I'll be back in a few minutes"-Hinata got up
