*Naruto's POV
I heard a knock on the door and rushed up to go get it. I opened the door to see Tsunade standing there.

"Ya ready" she asked with a smile. I nodded flashing her a quick smile but to be honest I was scared shitless. We both walked in silence until we were a few feet away from Ichiraku Ramen. I saw five sets of feet from underneath the curtain. I stepped back to just be stopped by Tsunade placing her hand on my back.

"You need to do this" she said as she pushed me forward. I took a deep breath and pushed aside the curtain.

"Hey guys" I said to Kiba, Shikamaru, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata. They all stopped eating and shot death glares at me. There was one last seat left so I sat down and ordered my normal Miso Ramen with extra pork. Everyone was silent as my ramen was placed in front of me. I broke apart my shop sticks and thanked them for my food. I was about to take a bite but I stopped and put my chop sticks down

"I'm-" I began to say but I was sent out of my chair and into the street by Kiba punching me in the face

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" Kiba began to say as he tried to punch me again. I braced for another hit but Kiba seemed to be frozen in place.

"DAMN IT SHIKAMARU LET ME POUND HIS ASS" Kiba yelled. Shikamaru took a few steps forward and offered his hand out to me. I grabbed it as he helped me up. Well at least I thought he was pulling me up. I was smiling as he pulled my nose into his forehead. I jerked back by another hit to the nose before he punched me across the jaw.

"Damn that felt good" he said brushing off his hands as Kiba cheered him on.

"Ouch" I grumbled as I nursed my most likely broken nose. As I stood up I was met with blond hair. I felt a first connect with the top of my head. I was now looking down to the ground after the blow now holding the top of my head. I felt blond hair hit the side of my head as Ino turned and walked away. I thought it was over but now all I could see was a red dress. I almost threw up as Sakura punched me in the stomach making me fly back a few feet and land on my back. I waited another minute before I stood up and walked back into the Ramen stand.

"I deserved that" I said as I took my first bite of food

"Damn right" Kiba said as he lifted his bowl to his mouth to finish off the broth. I took this opportunity to flip the bowl up spilling the hot broth all over him. He screamed out as everyone started to laugh.

"That's for not letting me say I'm sorry" I jokingly said to him. Kiba started to growl at me as he started yelling a flurry of insults that I quickly returned. Our fighting made everyone laugh except one. I glanced over to see Hinata with her head down near her bowl with her bangs covering her face. I guess I was staring because Kiba scared me as he pulled me into a head lick and began to rub his knuckles against my scalp.

"Good to have the real you back" Kiba said with a smile

"Yeah if you ever ditch me with a clone I'll kill you" Shikamaru said with a smile

"So many death threats in one day" I grumbled as I ate the rest of my food. To night was filled with small talk like nothing ever happened. Except Hinata said basically nothing. As we stood up to leave me and Hinata we the first to stand up. She quickly turned to walk away but I reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Hinata" I called out as I spun her around. I pulled her in right as she lifted her head to look at me. I could see tears in her eyes. I quickly pulled her into a kiss. Everyone stared at us as I embraced her. I pulled away resting my forehead on the top of her head.

"I know I messed up. I'm sorry and I understand if we can't be like we used to be but I need led to do that one last time-" I began to say but she grabbed the back of my head and pulled he into another kiss. Silent stares again as we embraced in the middle of the street.

"Naruto I will always love you" Hinata said as she pulled away and looked up at me. She was still crying but she had a smile on her face. I also had tears streaming down my face.

"I didn't deserve that" I said looked away in shame. She pulled me into another quick kiss heeping her hands on the side of my face to keep me still.

"No you didnt" she said with a smile. I began to smirk but my smirk was quickly replaced with a face of fear as the veins that went to her eyes became more prominent. I tried to step away but wasn't quick enough. Hinata landed a palm strike again my private's making me double over in the middle of the street

"You deserve that though" she said as Sakura and Ino extended out their hands for a high five that she returned

"Damn that looks bad" Shikamaru said in a bit of a frightened tone.

"Yeah remind me never to piss off Hinata" Kiba said. They helped me up and walked my black and blue body home. They walked me threw the front door and were meet with Tsunade sitting at my kitchen table.

"How bad is it" she asked with a smirk on her face as she sipped some kind of drink out of a cup.

"Did you know this would happen" Shikamaru asked laughing.

"No, but I hoped it would" she said as she walked over to us

"Take him upstairs to bed please" she said as she continued to smile

"Aren't you going to heal him" Kiba asked still a bit afraid after what Hinata did to me

"No" she said laughing as she walked out the front door. I groaned out in pain as the other two boys laughed. They carried me up stairs and threw me into bed. I groaned out in pain again as they left my room laughing

'This is going to be a long night'

A/N

Happy birthday my little sunshine. I hope everyone had a good Naruto day (cough cough should be a national holiday) and enjoyed the chapter. Hope you found it funny or cried, but I was aiming for funny.
