I Am In Naruto - Chapter 23
Konoha Streets
Naruto was walking through the streets of Konoha going to a training field 3 to start training his taijutsu with Maito Gai and Rock Lee.
Naruto was walking peacefully keeping himself in the shadows not to have problems until he heard someone crying checking so see who was it, he noticed it was Hinata, she had her knees to her ċhėst and was crying. Naruto quickly rushed to her side.
“Hinata-chan what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” – he asked worried to help her.
Hinata seeing Naruto quickly hugged him crying even more. Naruto tried to ask what was wrong but she didn’t answer. Naruto started whispering comforting words saying it would be alright until she fell asleep in his ċhėst tired from crying.
Naruto picked her up bridal style and took her to his apartment, he laid her in his bed took a chair and sit by her said, grabbing her hand he fell asleep minutes later.
“Uh, I will late for training”
After a few hours, she woke up.
“Hinata-chan what happened? You can tell me I will help” – naruto said trying his best to help her.
Hinata was looking at the ground sadly, she decided to tell him everything and started to remove a piece of cloth that was tied to her forehead, she removed it showing a green tattoo, it was the Cage Bird Seal. Naruto seeing this was shocked they branded the heiress of the clan.
“My f-f-father s-said I w-w-as to w-weak to be the h-heiress o-of t-the clan so h-he b-branded m-me and … d-disavowed f-from the H-Hyuuga C-clan” – she said looking at the ground.
Naruto was furious how could they do that to family, branding it’s a despicable decision but to remove a member and even his daughter from the clan for being weak.
“It’s ok Hinata-chan, you are not weak and … you have me” – he said slightly blushing.
“I’m nothing more than a loser. I’m weaker than brother Neiji and my sister, Hanabi” – she replied crying and yelling. Letting all her anger and frustration out.
“No, Hinata you are not weak. You are a kind, loyal, hard-working and a beautiful person” – he said getting blush from her “Look at me” – he said taking his hand to her chin and raising her head, they locked eyes and he continued. “I’m hated by everyone in the village, they all call me demon and try to hurt me, to them I’m nothing more than a loser that shouldn’t even be allowed to live but I don’t give up and I never surrender that my way of ninja and one day I will prove to them that I’m strong.” – he exclaimed getting a smile from her
“Hinata, let’s work hard and prove to them that letting you go was the worst decision they could ever make. If you want I’ll help you” – he said
“Really?” – she asked hopefully
“Of course, I take care of the people I care about and… love” – Naruto said with a blush, lightly bending forward and softly kissing her on the lips, after receiving Naruto’s kiss, she fainted.
“This is youth,” Lee said
“UH… this is not youth, Lee,” Gai Sensei said.
“Uh” when Naruto looked at the windows, Gai Sensei and Lee watched Naruto and Hinata.
“Naruto… So you are late because you want to do lovey-dovey with her. You still a kid. Don’t try to do this and that. Naruto, listen to me. The kids today don’t know the true meaning of youth, they only know about love”
Naruto “this is not what you had seen, Gai Sensei.”
Naruto started to explain what had happened to Hinata.
After hearing the story, Gai sensei and Rock Lee were crying. Rock Lee, Gai sensei, and Naruto hugged each other.
Gai “What a poor girl”
Lee “Gai sensei, let’s ask her to join our training”
Gai “Don’t worry, I will make the female version of the Green Sublime Beast suit, after that, she can join us. Wait for a minute” Gai jumped from the window and ran away with the high speed.
After a few minutes, Hinata woke up.
Rock Lee: “Oh, you wake up the third sister.”
Naruto: “Hinata, let’s grow stronger together with us”
Hinata just nodded. She mumbled herself “As long as I can be together with Naruto, I will do everything.”
Then Gai arrived at Naruto’s house and took the female version of the Green Suit. “Taadaaaa…. Wear this, Hinata. If you want to be free from your suffering, make up your mind. If you give up on your dream, you will suffer more.
After wearing the green suit, Gai sensei said to her.
That’s it, Hinata! Let the power of youth explode!!
After that, Hinata started to join Naruto’s training, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Hinata then lived together with Kurenai in her home.
