Lavender Love Beauty

Chapter 28

When Naruto left Sakura's party to go to his apartment it had been about two o' clock in the morning.

Naruto was only a few blocks away from his house until he stopped and turned around to head towards the Hokage monument.

Walking up the steps it took about half an hour until he reached the top. Walking over to the edge he sat down looking at the beautiful moon.

The stars were shining brightly along with the moon down on the silent village. Naruto put his hands on his lips.

"I kissed Hinata.," Naruto whispered to himself through his hand. A blush came across his face, he found out his true feelings now, he didn't know if he was completely right about them, but he had a pretty good idea he was right about his feelings.

How could he face Hinata now that he found out his feelings for her? Did Hinata have feelings for him?

"There is no way that she could have these feelings for me, even if she did I don't deserve those type of feelings form her.." Naruto signed sadly.

"I'm sure she has feelings for Kiba." Naruto pouted.

Naruto felt his heart aching from thinking of Hinata being with Kiba. Naruto tightened his fist but then let them relax. He couldn't lose complete hope, maybe he had a chance with Hinata.

"I'm sure I deserve just a little bit of these feelings from Hinata if she feels the same for me as I feel for her," Naruto whispered.

Naruto transitioned from sitting on the grass at the edge to laying down on the grass with his hands behind his head looking up at the moon.

Naruto felt his eyes becoming heavy and soon sleep drifted over him.

Waking up the next morning Naruto got to his feet rubbing his eyes. Dammit, I fell asleep here..!

Grumbling he began walking down the steps of the mountain. Naruto thought of what he should do today, maybe he would ask Grandma-Tsunade if she could give him a mission where he could go alone.

Naruto headed towards the Hokage's office, he thought it would feel nice to be alone. After all, he was practically used to it, being alone and all.

Waking into the building he walked through the halls until he reached the Hokage's door. He was getting ready to knock until he heard Kakashi-sensei and Grandma-Tsunade talking. He stood there a few moments in silence wondering if he should knock or not.

"Naruto you can come in!" The Hokage yelled.

Naruto was surprised but figured he shouldn't be after all she was the Hokage. Opening the door he saw Kakashi looking at him, the sensei waved to the blonde hair boy.

"Yo!" Kakashi said.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto grinned.

"What can I do for you Naruto?" The Hokage asked with a wondering glance.

Naruto walked up closer to her desk but kept his distance.

"I was going to ask if you had any mission I could go one," Naruto asked.

"Hmm." The Hokage said going through some paperwork.

"Here is one, it's a B class mission, but it's pretty easy. You can take Sakura with you along with Shikamaru." Tsunade said.

"Actually I was wondering if I could alone.." Naruto said.

"Well. The mission is to look around the borders of Konoha for unidentified ninja's, we don't know have power they are so I think you should bring Sakura with you and Shikamaru, and Neji." Tsunade insisted.

"I can handle it alone," Naruto answered.

The boy's sentence struck Tsunade, the Hokage frowned. You're used to being alone. But now you have so many friends why do you still want to be alone?

"Very well, I can see you have your reason on going on this mission alone, but I'm having Katsuyu go with you in case something happens. Tsunade insisted.

"No I can do it alone, I'm not a child," Naruto said before the Hokage could argue the boy walked out of the room.

"What a troublesome boy." The Hokage signed.

"I could follow him and keep an eye on him if you want," Kakashi asked.

"Thank you, after I forgot the Akatsuki is still after all of the tailed beasts, and I'm sure they have already collected many." Tsunade signed in frustration.

After a large cloud of smoke, Kakashi saw the Hokage's famous summon.

"Take Katsuyu with you so she could report if anything happens both to you and Naruto." Tsunade insisted.

"Right. Well, I'll be off then." Kakashi said grabbing the small snail and putting it on his shoulder then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

As Naruto grabbed some supplies for the almost short trip he hurried and headed out towards the gates of Konoha.

Kakashi looked around the village until he saw the blonde hair boy rushing towards the gates of Konoha.

"Dammit, I actually was wanting to finish my book!" Kakashi grumbled, then signed here was no way of helping it, he would just have to wait until he got back to the village.

As Naruto hurried and rushed off towards the gates. He wanted to get out of the village and kick some butt, and have time alone. Waving to the guard the blonde haired boy hurried and raced into the forest.

It would take about two hours to get the borders while running, Naruto thought.

As Kakashi followed Naruto from a distance the man was dying to finish one of his books, but following the energetic blonde, there was no way he could read and run after the boy.

As Naruto kept racing on the forest ground he suddenly was in a familiar sewer. Looking up he saw the familiar demonic eyes.

"What do you want nine tails?" Naruto asked.

"Just here to tell you to have good luck with those 'unidentified ninja's'." The demonic fox laughed evilly.

"What do you mean, do you know who they are, how many of them, are they close?!" Naruto asked surprised.

"Yea I know who they are, there are two of them, and they are about twelve miles away, and they want you." The fox said before being swallowed up by the darkness of the sewer.

Naruto's eyes flashed open and he saw he was still running on the forest floor.

"Damn fox! Calling me at a time like this! Who wants me?" Naruto grumbled.

"Maybe it's Sasuke! Maybe he's looking for me to return back to Konoha!" Naruto said excitedly making him boost his speed.

If it is Sasuke out there looking for me. then wait for me Sasuke!

Kakashi grumbled tiredly as the blonde hair boy boosted up his speed. Kakashi got closer to the boy but made sure to keep his distance and himself hidden, he didn't want to anger Naruto since the boy wanted to be alone.

Kakashi wondered why the boy wanted to do this mission alone, Kakashi was sure he rather have his friends to help him just in case anything happens, but that wasn't the case.

When Naruto was running he looked up ahead to see black figures.

Nine tails said they were about twelve miles away but I only moved seven... Are these the right people..?

Naruto skid to halt.

Kakashi halted into a tree so he wouldn't be seen, he couldn't identify the two men so he uncovers his left eye. Squinting to see the two men Kakashi stood in shock. Crap..!

"Naruto get back!" Kakashi yelled.

"Well, we were just looking for you. Kyubii." A voice said evilly.

Naruto turned around to see Kakashi racing towards him before Kakashi could reach the blonde boy there was a giant explosion.

"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled only to be flung back by the explosion.
