The Leaf's Red God...

Kage Summit... 3

After what Naruto found out, he was starting to become even more upset but he calmed himself down.

He took a long second before even thinking of going to sleep and decided to take a long meditation session. Sakura saw this along with Hinata as they both looked at one another...

Though, when they looked at Kiyomi, she didn't seem worried. Which meant that...

She had a good idea of who it was...

Surprisingly, Kurenai was shocked as well as Kakashi came back, letting Minato know that there were no more grunts or anyone near their campsite...

With that, they made their way to get back to sleep. But Sakura and Hinata were still worried...

The pinkette looked at Hinata, she was a little jittery. She wasn't afraid of Naruto, she just didn't like to see him angry...

Sakura: Hey, Hinata?

Hinata: ?

Sakura: Listen, if anybody can cheer Naruto up - it's you. Why don't you go over there and sit with him? Maybe he'll feel better.

Hinata: ... U-Um...

She looked at him before back to her...

Hinata: O-Ok.

Sakura smiled at her as she made her way to him but stopped and turned back to the Konoichi.

Hinata: ...

Sakura: ?

Hinata: ... N-N... N-Not you, Sakura?

Sakura: ...

She rubbed her arm and said...

Sakura: We're not that close yet. Plus, I'll have to work harder at that than you. Go on, really.

Hinata nodded but the more she thought about Naruto and Sakura or Naruto and Kiyomi...

The more it honestly didn't hurt to think about.

Both have admitted to having feelings for Naruto - well, one has...

The other one is just screwy and wants to be the boy's naughty little sperm tank - but same thing... not really...

The pinkette has made it apparent that it wasn't just his looks that caught her...

It was all of him...

Hinata sat next to the boy and looked at his hand, her heart beating fast, wondering how he would react...

She tightened her jaw and slowly began to reach out for it...

Only for Naruto to meet her half way and gently take her by the hand...

Hinata: !!!!

She looked up at him, seeing a content smile on his face, instantly feeling better because she got up the courage to touch him first.

Naruto: Thanks for trying.

Hinata: ... (Blush) Y-You're welcome. B-But... S-Sakura was -

Naruto: Yea, I know.

He looked at her as she laid down with her back to him, falling asleep. He was going to make that up to her...

He just needed to think of how he'd do it.

Later on, he ended up falling asleep where he was before only to find that he opened his eyes...

And he wasn't on the grass plains like before...

Naruto: Hm?

The place was dark and had an eerie sound to it as it rumble from a loud noise...

As if someone was getting hit or something...
