The Wandering Ronin N

chapter 29

*another day passed as the sun was shining down on Konoha, people were hustling and bustling, Shinobi were dashing to there new assignments. Root anbu were spying on Naruto who was meditating in the roof of the apartment complex*

Hinata:there you are N

*Naruto opened his eyes and saw Hinata smiling at him, Naruto gave her a nod and changed his sitting position to a more relaxed one*

Naruto:a good morning to you Hinata, did you enjoy the breakfast?

Hinata:y..yes it was wonderful, thank you for making it. You didn't have to though, your our roommate not our butler

*Naruto patted the mat he was sitting on, it was big enough for two. Hinata nodded and sat down in front of Naruto, facing him*

Naruto:it's no bother for me, I enjoy cooking, brings back memories of miss Takeda teaching me how to make things like cookies, or how to grill eels

Hinata:that's sounds kinda nice, I wish I had memories of that of my own mother

*Hinata said softly, Naruto could see the expression change on Hinata's face, her smile didn't reach her eyes*

Naruto:miss Takeda Is not my mother, she's the caretaker of the orphanages

Hinata;o..oh I'm sorry that was so rude of me

*Hinata said nervously, but Naruto just shook his head. He gave Hinata a patient smile*

Naruto:you missed the point my dear, my memories aren't good memories because of blood. There good because of love

Hinata:I...don't understand

*Hinata said softly, Naruto took a deep breath and stretched, Hinata could hear the pops from Naruto's joints*

Naruto:what I'm saying is that family is more then just blood, there the people who you love and they love you back. You must have someone like that do you not?

Hinata:w..well there's miss namikaze she's very nice, and my sensei is very patience with me. She even taught me how to stitch

*Hinata smile got a little smaller but more
Sincere, Naruto smiled as this smile did reach her eyes*

Naruto:it would seem that you have some nice memories, you just haven't realized it till now. Remember family are not those who you share blood with, but those who you share love with

Hinata:that's... certainly a good to see things

*Naruto just shrugged with a smile thinking of all the people that he loves and the memories he build with them*

Naruto:you seem to be thinking more of the negatives of life, instead of the positive that it has given you

Hinata:yeah, guess I do. Tenten's always telling me I concentrate too much on the negative, guess she's not wrong is she?

*Hinata said with a bit of a amused huff st herself while Naruto just gave her a polite smile*

Naruto:now. Is there a reason you've been looking for me?

Hinata:oh uh right, right! W..well since you met Sakura's teammates, I was thinking that perhaps you would like to meet mine?

*Hinata said a bit nervously, Naruto hummed putting his hand on his chin, he shrugged his shoulders*

Naruto:I see no problems with that, but to make it clear, I did not meet Sakura's teammates. I simply trained near them, we did no socialize. I don't even know there names

Hinata:oh! Well one of them Is traveling on a training trip with family, but the two that were there was Kakashi Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha

*Hinata said with a finger on her chin, Naruto hummed as he got back to s meditating position*
