With You, Forever | Naruhina

Chapter 6: A Lousy Mission

They both entered Kakashi sensei office. "Yo! Kakashi sensei, you called us?" said Naruto in the casual manner he always uses around him, even though he is Hokage, not that Kakashi cares. 

"Ah, yes Naruto and Hinata I have a mission for both of you," he said, smiling with his eyes. Both of US?!?! Together? Naruto thought it was like Hinata read his mind and asked the same question out loud.

"B-both of u-us only? Lord Hokage?" asked Hinata, a little bit wide-eyed.

"Yes, yes, I would've set you up with Kiba but he is still recovering from the events of last night," he said eyeing Naruto which made him look away, "and won't be on his feet for a few days and Shino just left for a mission today," he replied.

"Now, Naruto this is a little different mission from what you are used to."

"Different? How?" he asked perplexed.

"I want you both to infiltrate Land of Silence," he said in a formal voice.

"Land of Silence?" asked Naruto.

"Yes, we think after the war due to so much distress and mismanagement many ninjas who were against the Allied Shinobi Forces faked their deaths and became rouge ninjas. It is suspected that they are taking missions illegally in the Land of Silence. Your job is to infiltrate the land and gather information about it now this information can be completely false and pose no threat to us but I still want to investigate" Kakashi finished.

"But don't you think, L-Lord Hokage that N-Naruto-kun will attract a lot of attention?" asked Hinata.

"Oh yes, I know he will, that's why you two must go in disguise. It'll be good training for you, Naruto."

"Training? How is that training, Kakashi sensei?" he asked scratching his head.

"Well, I don't want you to engage with the enemy at all. I want you discreetly gather information; you have to be sneaky which will test your patience Naruto. Let me see that what reading all those books for a year has done to your brain."

"Oh, well I guess- fine..." he said feeling a little embarrassed. He couldn't still wrap his head around the idea of alone on a mission with Hinata. I've gone on missions with her before, but it was never alone... woah I am feeling dizzy. What the hell is- his train of thoughts was broken when Kakashi spoke up again.

"And as for disguise I want you both to go as a couple and come up with different names got it?" he said casually.

WHAT. DID. HE. JUST. SAY. A COUPLE?? Naruto thought and looked at Hinata who was already looking at her feet and her face was rosy red, if you believe it Naruto's face was redder than Hianta's.

"Haha, kid go and get some. I have started to feel like your life's story is changing from action to romance" said Kurama suddenly. His sudden comment made Naruto go even redder and he started feeling giddy.

"Oi, Naruto are you listening to me?" came Kakashi's voice breaking him from his thoughts and he nodded, "so as I was saying Naruto you can't use your Kyuubi Chakra mode until absolutely necessary, I would say avoid fighting at all. You should leave tomorrow; I think you still haven't recovered from yesterday's events" he said with a chuckle. Naruto was lost for words he just nodded and left the Hokage office. Both Naruto and Hinata decided they will leave early morning and said their goodbyes, both were clearly in shock at the disguise they have to pull from tomorrow.

The rest of the day went by a blur for Naruto, he didn't know why but he just couldn't wait for tomorrow something which even Kurama noticed and chuckled. Thinking of what kind of name he should choose for his disguise, he slowly drifted to sleep, but his dreams only consisted of Hinata smiling at him.

Flashback to the morning

"Oh Sakura and Sai, what brings you both here?" he asked happily.

"We have some information on Land of Silence, we would like you to follow it up," said Sai.

"Oh I just know the couple for the job," he said while reading the documents.

"Are you talking about Naruto and Hinata?" asked Sakura.

"Oh well yes, who else?" he replied smiling behind his mask, "it's about time that idiot understands his feelings, plus everything is really peaceful right now so the timing is perfect."

"Can't argue with that" said Sakura smiling to herself.

"Well Sai go on, call them both to my office and I need my kids to grow up," Kakashi said.

Flashback over

Admiring the view of Kohona from his office, Hokage Kakashi was smiling behind his mask. Very pleased with himself, he decided to take a day off and wander around. Gathering his things, he set out for a walk, he walked everywhere his feet took him. After walking for almost thirty minutes or so, we stopped and saw his feet brought to where it all started. The Third Training Ground huh. He saw the middles pole, once where Naruto was tied up as team 7 failed their training, he remembers the day crystal clear. He is proud of all three of his students, and now that Sasuke is out for redemption and Sakura has finally allowed herself to stop chasing and just wait for him, only Naruto is left, in terms of romance.

Kakashi is proud that Naruto never let his fame get to his head. He is still that oblivious 12-year-old, with some awesome powerups, who was tied to the very pole Kakashi decided to sit on. He took out his bento box and ate his rice-balls in peace thinking about how flushed Naruto got earlier during the day.

I never thought Naruto could blush like this, I mean I knew sending them as a couple for just my way of teasing them but man that kid couldn't even look me in the eye after that!! Well, maybe he is starting to understand a little bit of what's happening. Minato-sensei, Kakashi looked up to the say, he has really grown up in a year. 

He just couldn't wait for their mission report. 

I have a hunch something is going to happen between them during this mission.  

And we all know his hunches are almost always right.
