A Changing Vision Of The Future

Chapter 3: Because I love you

Snowflakes were falling down gently, it was winter in Konoha. And it was just a few weeks after the incident of Naruto's strange vision and the academy spar. The Kyuubi festival was just a week ago, together with Naruto's birthday.

The academy was just over and Naruto who was wearing a beautiful red scarf and as always his still green goggles, was sitting on the swing under a tree from the academy, watching sadly as the parents of his classmates came to get them to take them home.

The whiskered blonde sighed deeply and was about to stand up and walk home until he suddenly heard a soft cry from the bushes. He frowned and rushed towards the sound and saw a blue haired girl being pushed around by three boys.

It was Hinata the weird shy girl from his class, she was crying and apologizing to the boys as she was pushed down on her head while they threw insults towards her. Naruto could see the tears falling down from her face on the pure white snow.

'I'm sorry...' she cried out softly as the tears ran down her face and falling down.

'Heh! That was pathetic!' One of the boys Laughed. 'Put some more feeling into it!!'

The fat boy laughed, 'We said APOLOGIZE!!'

Hinata's eyes filled with more tears as she cried harder, 'I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry!

'Cut it out!' Naruto said firmly to the boys as the ran towards them. The leader of the boys looked at him like he was an idiot. 'Hah, who are you?'

The other boy recognized Naruto, 'Hey, it's that kid!' he whispered to the other boys.

'I'M NOT THAT BOY!' Naruto yelled, 'I AM GOING TO BE THE FUTURE HOKAGE DATTEBAYO!!'

'Ehhh? Future hokage...? The leader of the three boys taunted. 'Are you an idiot?'

'Hmpf!, I am gonna show you!' Naruto scoffed. He made the familiar hand signs. 'BUSHIN NO JUTSU!' The bullies stepped back slightly. There was a large poof of smoke when two sickly half dead clone appeared on the ground from the smoke. The boys were silent, and then began to laugh hard at Naruto, who was still standing on the same place stared at the half dead clones with a shocked expression. A small sweat drop appeared on his head.

What he did not see coming was a fist of one of the boys that landed right in his face, successfully knocking the whiskered blonde out, with a nose bleed.

The boys took Naruto's scarf and started to play with it. The boys used the scarf to play with it and completely ruining the once beautiful red scarf. After they were done they stomped on the remains of the scarf, leaving it dirty, ripped and teared all over the place. Forgetting that they were bullying the small Hyuga.

When the bullies left the place Hinata slowly came out of her hiding place, after checking if the boys were really gone. She carefully picked up the red scarf which was now ruined and heavenly damaged. She stood up and she slowly walked towards the knocked out boy, she saw that he had a slight nose bleed and his eye was a little swollen.

She didn't know how to feel. She felt guilty for letting him getting injured but also happy that he stood up for her. She was pulled out of her thoughts when the blonde boy from her class jumped up in his messy fighting stance. And yelled out

'WAIT! I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU GUYS YET! This time my justu will work and then....' He trailed of when he saw that the bullies were not there anymore, only to be stared at by a certain shy Hyuga.

"Are... are you alright?" she timidly asked, making the boy hurriedly clean his bloodied nose with the sleeve of his jacket, figuring that the red liquid was probably the reason the girl was worried about him.
