Hinata sensei

Sapphire village part 1 family and trust

Naruto couldn't help but be mesmerized by the scenery of the village. He still found it strange that the inhabitants still weren't out in the open; it felt like a ghost town even though he knows there are people. He and his teammates were waiting for their sensei.

"I don't know about you but this place gives me the creeps"Naruto cannot help but voice his thoughts out loud.."for once I agree with you,"said Kagome. "To think that Madara Uchiha once set foot here it's surreal."Sasuke couldn't help but say that even he was amazed by this place."I just want to be out of here,"Naruto said trying to hide his discomfort. "Soon the Chunin exams are coming. I don't know about you but I want to be prepared,"said Naruto who is eager to prove himself. "The Chunin exams I agree it would definitely would be helpful if I were promoted. It would make things a lot easier."Naruto can't help but notice something beneath Kagome's exterior. Perhaps there's a lot more to her than he initially thought but he didn't want to ask due to him not wanting to intrude.

"You're starting to notice things that ordinary people wouldn't notice cuz they only look at what's on the surface good you are learning.Said Kyubi, impressed with Naruto's observation skills. "I don't know why I didn't notice it before?"Naruto said kicking himself." It's because of your experiences why you're able to have those skills it's not something you can gain unless you have empathy and compassion for others,"he answered. It made sense to Naruto before he couldn't indulge in his thoughts further he saw Hinata approach the group. Naruto couldn't put his finger on it but he could tell she was distraught.

"Our mission is done, we're heading home,"Hinata said with no emotion. Whatever was bothering Hinata was making her want to leave the village as soon as possible. Before the party can leave the man that they escorted was looking at Naruto."you're not like I imagined Naruto Uzumaki"Toneri said to him. "I don't know what that's supposed to mean,"Naruto said to him, confused. "You'll learn in time you should head home"he did not know what that was about he followed his team they were coming back from the way they came. He couldn't help but feel like no he disregarded it for the time being if Hinata was comfortable she would reveal it. He put whatever thought he had on his mind aside for the time being in order to get out of the place that was creeping him out.

Kagome couldn't stand the awkward silence it had been four days since they started the journey home traversing the landscape took even more time getting back then getting in. She wasn't complaining the mission was easy but she felt something was off her Sensei was quiet like she had a lot on her mind. Make sure the coast was clear and opened the pendant that contained the image of her mother holding her as a baby alongside her father who passed away on a mission 6 years ago. She missed her father the rare instance where she showed emotion she allowed tears to fall her father was killed by a missing nin the person that did it was a traitor to the village she looked at her sword the only thing she had left of her father she vowed if she ever found the man that murdered him she would kill him.

"So you do actual emotions"she was startled and she saw it was none other than Sasuke."you will tell no one about this"she said with barely controlled anger."I have no interest, I'm just curious. You are so mysterious compared to the rest of the students of our class next to nothing is known about you. Your last name is nothing special I can't help but be curious"she didn't want to hear it she did not want to have this discussion.

"Do you have a point Uchiha or are you trying to piss me off?"she said dropping any pretense of respect."I mean no disrespect I mean things don't add up you get dropped from the program only to be added back in because of your talent don't you find that a little suspicious?"she didn't care if she told Sasuke she didn't care that if someone had to die for her to have another chance she didn't care if it sounded heartless her mother needed her. "I really don't care,"she said dismissively.
