Lavender Love Beauty

Chapter 17

Sasuke.

Naruto walked down over to the hot springs. Entering the men's room Naruto undressed from his pants, and a t-shirt since Hinata still had his jacket, then setting his clothes inside the shelf. Wrapping the towel down around his waist he walked over to the sliding door to slide it away to see the large heated pool.

Unwrapping the towel and setting it on the ground Naruto stepped in then sat down. Signing calmly Naruto closed his eyes feeling the hot water soak into his body. Hearing the sliding door close Naruto opened his eyes to see Shikamaru, Sai, Kakashi, and Yamato.

So much for being alone.

Naruto also heard Sakura and Hinata on the other side of the wall where the women's hot spring would be. The young boy's heart started racing thinking about Hinata in the nude. It wasn't his fault that his teacher was a pervert who had rubbed off on Naruto himself. Maybe one peek won't heart.

Naruto was caught off guard as Sai swam over to him. "Thinking about Hinata are we?" Sai whispered with a big smile on his face.

The blonde's face lit up red, Naruto stood up shakily pointing his finger at Sai. "N-N-No!" Naruto yelled embarrassed.

"Well, I guess you do have equipment after all," Sai said rather loudly.

Naruto's face lit up even redder and splashed down into the water swimming away. "Y-You pervert!" Naruto yelled.

Sakura and Hinata heard the whole commotion over in the men's hot spring with Naruto and Sai. Sakura was covering her face trying not to laugh at what Sai said, and Hinata had a red blush across her face with a surprised expression. Sakura couldn't seem to hold it in anymore and busted up laughing.

Naruto and the others heard Sakura laughing over the wall, Naruto's face began to become red once again. "D-Damn you Sai you bastard!" Naruto yelled.

After Sakura stopped laughing she looked at Hinata noticing her perfect body. "Gosh Hinata you have a perfect body you know." Sakura signed being a bit jealous.

The lavender eyed girl's face became even redder at what Sakura had said. "T-Thanks Sakura-chan," Hinata said.

When all the men finally left Shikamaru waited to look at Naruto." You coming to Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.

"No, I'm going to stay in here for a little longer," Naruto mumbled.

"Whatever." Shikamaru signed walking away.

Laying beside a rock Naruto stared up at the moon.

"Sasuke." Naruto signed loudly.

Waking up everyone got ready and met in the lounge of the hotel. Then they headed out of the hotel, this time they didn't bring their umbrellas'.

"Yamato you, Naruto, Sai, and Hinata, are going to look around the west area outside of the village," Kakashi informed.

"Got it," Naruto said.

"Shikamaru, Sakura and I are going to look around towards the mountain over there," Kakashi said pointing to a large mountain close to the village. "If you don't find anything report back here at dawn," Kakashi said.

"We will," Yamato said then signaled his group to follow him.

As the rain poured down onto them they first started in a forest.

"Sai search up top," Yamato ordered.

"Right," Sai said panting a large bird on a scroll then doing his usual hand jutsu. The large bird appeared and Sai hoped on waving to them and flew off.

(Okay guys if you watched the episode on how Naruto fought with Orochimaru at the bridge from getting information from the Akatsuki then I'm telling you I'm going to switch the story up a bit. "

Looking around Kakashi and Sakura stood in front of the large mountain, they looked around for secret paths or any way to find a cave.

Sai hovered over Naruto and Yamato and Hinata. "There is a bridge up head if you want to check that out!" Sai yelled down at them.

"Okay lead the way!" Yamato yelled up at him.

Sai nodded a flew slowly leading them to a large red wooden bridge.

Yamato and Naruto and the other two stared at the bridge. It looked sturdy enough, but just to make sure Yamato walked onto it first.

"It's safe," Yamato called out.

Naruto stared at the bridge still uncertain but he trusted Yamato.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei I found cave over here!" Sakura yelled.

Kakashi hurried and made his way over to Sakura to see a medium size cave.

"Shall we explore it to see if it is their hideout?" Sakura asked.

"Yes," Kakashi answered.

The two of them walked into the cave together, only to reach a dead end.

Yamato stared at a snake-eyed man and a boy who was older then Naruto's walked onto the other side of the bridge.

Orochimaru. Kabuto.

"What have you done with Sasuke?!" Naruto yelled angrily.

"I haven't done anything with Sasuke." Orochimaru grinned.

"Give Sasuke back then!" Naruto snapped, the Kyuubi's chakra swirling around him as his anger rose. After a few moments two tail formed from behind Naruto's back.

"Sasuke came to me on his own free will, I am not holding him hostage." The snake-eyed man taunted with a sinister smirk on his face.

Naruto thought back to the times he spent with his teammate.

"Are you scared? Scaredy cat." Sasuke smirked.

"What!" Naruto snapped.

"Even though I hate you.." Sasuke mumbled closing his eyes.

"I always hated you too but.. but," Naruto said holding his friend in his arms.

Naruto thought back to the times he would fight with Sasuke, and how he saved the blonde boy.

"Sasuke.." Naruto mumbled.

"Damn you!" Naruto said racing up to Orochimaru hitting him to the side sending him flying. Kabuto jumped getting out of the way.

Yamato saw a third tail waving from behind Naruto's back.

Naruto's vision suddenly went blank, as if he fell asleep.

Kakashi sensed a large amount of chakra. "Sakura lets go!" Kakashi said racing towards a large amount of chakra.

Yamato stared as Naruto and Orochimaru found further away from the bridge. Looking over he saw Hinata staring at Naruto in shock.

"W-what's happening to N-Naruto-kun." She asked terrified fo her beloved.

"Sorry, Hinata but I have to keep that a secret If you don't know then that's for the best," Yamato said making a wooden clone.

"Watch and go see what is happening to Naruto," Yamato informed the clone.

"Got it." The clone said racing away.

"Naruto-kun," Hinata whispered sadly as she watched him from a distance with the Byakugan.
