With You, Forever | Naruhina

Chapter 7: The Mission Begins

Naruto was waiting at the main gate for Hinata, he arrived half an hour early just because he couldn't sleep and was weirdly excited for this mission. He was still wearing his black and orange jumpsuit as it will take them at least a day to get to their destination, so he decided he'll wear something non-ninja like before they reach there.

The sun was starting to rise and the sky was divided into yellow and red, just then at the horizon, a small female figure came into view, she wore her purple long top with black shorts and a belt. Naruto looked at her dumbfounded. She waved at him and he waved back not sure how he was body able to move when his brain was only concerting on the fact that he has to act as her "boyfriend" or "husband" on this mission. This thought made him smile goofily.

"G-good morning Naruto-kun, I hope I haven't made you wait for l-long.." she said when she was near enough.

"Huh, oh no n-o not at all, I just got here f-five minutes ago!!" he said beaming, "let's g-get going t-then.." he said. Did I just STUTTER?! My mind is playing tricks on me.

The sun was up now and there was a little coldness in the air, they both started their journey slowly making their way to their destination. They walked in silence, for about half an hour when Naruto decided to break the ice.

"So what's your disguise?" he suddenly asked her.

"Ano- I-I will probably only c-change my last n-name as no one really knows me, but I need to hide my byakugan so I-I brought some contact lenses to h-hide them" she replied her face was a little pink and with the little sunrays hitting her face, made her look mesmerizing. Naruto could only stare.

"What about you"? she asked him without looking in the eye. He suddenly realized that he was staring at her with an open mouth, he felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed.

"Oh well until I don't use any of my chakra modes I'll be fine, I just have to somehow hide my whiskers because they might give us away. Oh and for the name I decided to go with Memma Tanaka" he replied with this hands-on his head.

"Oh that's a good idea, Na- Memma" she said smiling a little. It made Naruto's heart pound a little hard and without any filter, he said, "Thanks, Miss Hinata Uzu-Tanaka." Hinata went beetroot red and could only stare at her feet. Hinata Uzumaki? I was about to say it!! he thought and was suddenly red-faced. He suddenly heard a burst of familiar laughter in the back of his mind. Shukaku?

"You were right, Kurama. This kid is super dense and not at all smooth" came the squeaky voice of the demon raccoon.

"Don't tease him like that, you all felt THAT saying stuff like this will only make him more awkward" said the two-tails Matatabi.

"What are you all doing here?" asked Naruto as he entered his mind palace looking at all of the tailed beasts.

"Kurama summoned us, he said something funny was going on" replied the five-tails, Kokuo.

"Also, I think he was starting to get lonely knowing that you would be, you know busy with other stuff," said Son Goku teasingly, Kurama just growled.

"Okay well you guys have fun; I need to concentrate on my mission," Naruto said giving them a puzzled look. Something was fishy.

"Right and don't forget to concentrate on your girl!!" said Chomei the seven-tails happily.

"CHOMEI!!! SHUT UP, DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT. Naruto ignore us, have a good mission" Matatabi said in a motherly voice.

"These tailed-beasts are really crazy sometimes" Naruto suddenly said out loud, completely forgetting the awkward situation he was in.

"Tailed-beasts are inside you? All of them, right now?" Hinata asked gladly that the awkwardness was gone.

"Oh yeah, looks like Kurama was getting lonely. He's a big softie not that he'll ever admit that" Naruto replied with a chuckle. "Kid stop acting so MACHO!!!!" Kurama screamed.

After another couple of hours passed, where they both secretly kept looking at each other and made small talks they finally reached a small restaurant and decided to eat there. Naruto ordered a ramen bowl and Hinata ordered cinnamon rolls.

"Huh I never knew you loved cinnamon rolls, Hinata," Naruto said as she stuffed one after the other in her mouth.

"oou weul yasu ie realey do" she said her mouth full of cinnamon rolls. It was Naruto's turn to get beetroot red.

Shit, she is adorable!!!

Naruto started laughing loudly and her face went red. "You are really something else Hinata," he said. Hinata still had cinnamon rolls in her mouth and couldn't say or laugh so she just kept her focus on eating them. Afterward, they made their way into the woods again. This time it was a little misty.

"Hinata..." Naruto said suddenly stopping and looking around and without missing a beat he asked, "you felt that right?"

"Yes," she said activating her byakugan, "I see."

"Friend or foe?" Naruto asked.
