IF you like BNHA check out my ongoing reader insert story called Fight or Flight!

I was walking to training ground 44, the forest of death, and along my journey I saw a mop of blonde hair. I ran up and jumped on Naruto's back. He stumbled but kept his balance, his hands finding their way to grasp my thighs to keep me on his back. He sent me a fake glare that turned into a bright smile when I started giggling.

"Onward my steed, march us to our death." I said, pointing my hand in a random direction. Naruto neighed like a horse and took off, both of us laughing loudly on our way to the second part of the exams. The Genin that passed yesterday, all 70 something of them, were gathered around Anko, who was sucking on a dango stick while picking at her nails with a kunai. She looked up at Naru and I, a smirk on her features making her look even more badass, then she looked back down, uninterested in our arrival. Sasuke made his way over to us, eyeing Naruto with distaste, then proceeded to pull me off his back, standing closely to my side.

"Hey what the hell teme, Hina-chan and I were having fun!" Naruto shot Sasuke a glare, sparks flying between them.

"Hn." Before they could get into another argument, Anko yelled out to get our attention. She handed out papers to sign making her not liable for our death. Her eagerness of it seeming like a lot of us were going to die shook up some of the ninja I didn't recognize. They were shaking in fear, Anko and I both smirked at them. She met my eye, and I winked, making her laugh and wink back. I swore I almost died in that moment, she is the coolest. Sasuke went off on his own, he saw Ino and Sakura then scurried off to hide. Naruto was running away from Konohamaru and his squad, looking like the dorky idiot he is. Anko made her way over to me, smirking devilishly.

"So brat, you think you're ready to face all the beasts the forest of death has to offer? A place like this eats up and spits out little girls like you."

"The forest of death can kiss my ass, if I can handle facing ninjas like Itachi and Zabuza, I can handle a measly forest. There's no way in hell I'm going to die a death as lame as one from a forest or from another Genin. When I die it's going to be with a bang." Anko studied me intensely for a second, then let out a booming laugh and gave me an almost sinister smile.

"So you're the Hyuuga brat that shit on Ibiki's test. I don't say this often, but I like you kid. You got guts, lets see if you have the skills to back it up." My smile was so wide at this point, I thought my face was going to split. Anko looked thoroughly amused by my obvious love of her. I watched her closely and hidden behind her sadism and amusement, I could see the brokenness that she harbored from Orochimaru, and how that made the village distrust her. Then a glimmer of hope was there, the same one I saw in Haku and Naruto, hope that I would truly accept her.

"FUCK YEAH! The Anko Mitarashi likes me!" I said fist pumping. "This means you can be my new mentor and teach me all kinds of cool things. I look up to you so much. You were shunned for how you trained under Orochimaru, yet you overcame it and became one of the most valued ninja in the village. You don't fit the stereotypical woman like everyone wants us to be, I am like that too. Plus you can summon snakes which is so fucking awesome." I noticed how she flinched at the name, and the unadulterated rage that burned in her expression. She switched to a prideful smirk when I boasted about how awesome she is. I mean, she's similar to Naruto in the way that everyone hated her for what was out of her control, and instead of letting it get to her and turning evil like they thought, she became an invaluable aspect to TI and the leaf village. She is outspoken and does what she wants, since I no longer have Lady Seiko or any other female role model/teacher, I want her to be my next one.

"I am that awesome aren't I. Well brat, if you survive this next stage and manage to impress me, I might take you under my wing and give you that awesome female guidance your missing. I mean, like you said, I am the best at what I do." As much as I didn't want to, I couldn't help but hug her. She tensed up and quickly shoved me off, blushing in embarrassment which I thought was funny.

"Hell yeah, just watch I'm going to crush this stage of the Chunin exams, and you're going to beg me to be your apprentice." Anko smirked devilishly and sauntered away, throwing her head back to call to me, in a fond yet snarky tone.

"Keep talking brat." Basically glowing with happiness, I made my way over to my teammates, watching in interest as Sasuke finished his interview, which somehow had Naruto fuming in rage. They exchanged lightning filled glares yet again, Sasuke had a triumphant smirk and Naruto was glowering. Moegi noticed me, and with an adorable grin, she ran over to me, her boys following hurriedly after her.

"Hinata-nee! Can I please interview you? I want to know more about the girl I strive to be like." I patted her head in affection.

"Hai, ask away my spiderlings." We all took a seat, and their eyes were staring intensely into my form. If anyone else stared at me like this, I'd probably try to hide. I also noticed how Naruto and Sasuke broke from their glare fest and inched closer to hear the interview, both of their eyes on us, taking in every detail. Udon was staring at me dazedly with a blush on his face and hearts in his eyes.

"So tell us about Team 7."Moegi asked, taking control of the interview. Konohamaru had the notepad to write down what I say.

"Team 7 is pretty much awesome. We have Naruto Uzumaki, who you guys know all about. Naruto is an idiot for sure, but he has one of the kindest hearts I've ever encountered. He's a ray of sunshine in the darkest of days, and one of my best friends. The thing is, everyone sees him as a deadlast, but throughout the whole academy, he was faking it. He's one of the strongest Genin right now and I feel sorry for anyone who has to go up against him. He's unpredictable and is going to be the greatest Hokage someday." The three kids of the Kono Squad were filled with even greater admiration for their boss, and I could feel the sunshine happiness radiating off of Naruto from here. Sasuke had a depression cloud, which I ignored, he broods for no reason sometimes. They were watching me expentantly, so I continued. "Next we have Sasuke Uchiha. Just by his clan, you know he is strong. He was the top male student in our year for a reason. Everyone sees Sasuke as this cold and stoic shinobi, but he has a heart of gold and is super funny in his own way. I've known Sasuke, for forever and we are basically family, I'd trust him with my life with no question. Also, his nickname is duckbutt and he will forever be duckbutt to me. Sasuke and Naruto fight more than they get along, but together they are a perfect team, like Yin and Yang. My two halves of my team. We also have our Sensei, Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi-sensei is one of the coolest people in the world, but he also is a huge asshole because he is never on time to ANYTHING. Not only is he famous and super badass, he is a great sensei and has taught us so much even if his training is draining. No matter how tense of a situation, Kakashi-sensei is there to protect us. He is super quirky and has so much swagger. He's the guiding hand of our team, he keeps us on track and has made us an unstoppable team. The final member of Team 7 is new, a rogue ninja Zabuza Momochi. Zabuza is one of the most entertaining people ever, and he's my Senpai. Zabuza is sadistic and merciless, but his heart is in the right place. He came with me to atone for his sins and protects me, he also trains us, and oh my gosh is it horrible yet effective. He's one of the 7 ninja swordsman of the mist meaning he is a master with a sword, and his is big and awesome. Zabuza increases our teams scare factor tenfold. Overall Team 7 is awesome and I love being in it." My teammates were smiling, Sasuke wearing a smirk, and I knew that this information would somehow get to the other members somehow. If given the opportunity, I'd gush all about my whole team endlessly, but alas, there is a time limit.

"You forgot to tell us about yourself Hinata-nee, you're a member of Team 7 too, we want to know all about you." I laughed and blushed sheepishly at forgetting to talk about myself. I put on a smirk and began to tell them all about myself, to the best of my ability.

"Oh yeah, well lets see. I guess I'd say I'm like the glue of my Team, strong and sturdy. My dream is to be the strongest I can be to save as many people as I can good or bad. I think everyone deserves a chance at a better life. To do that I have to kick ass and take names, which I have been doing my whole life. Since I was 1, I've been training every day to get stronger and smarter so I can save everyone and bring peace alongside my friends and family. I have support to help me on my journey, my team; my friends: Lady Seiko, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Kiba, Lee, Gaara, and Tenten; my family: Shisui, Neji, Hanabi, and My dad; and those I've lost: the Uchiha clan, Itachi, Haku, and my mother. All of these people have aided me in becoming a kick ass Kunoichi and will keep aiding me in the future." I finished and there was a crowd gathered around us, all of the Genin were listening Intently. My friends were staring at me in awe and love, Gaara looked shocked yet pleased that I mentioned him as a friend, and Kabuto was watching me with that strange interest like yesterday. It was super awkward with all the gazes on me so Anko called everyone's attention to explain the rules.

"This test consists of an anything goes battle to get your hands on these scrolls!" Anko said, pulling out 2 scrolls, one with the kanji for heaven and one for earth. "You'll be fighting to get both, a heaven and an earth scroll. All together there are 26 teams, half will be going for the heaven, and half the earth. That means more than half of you will fail."

"Ok, so how do we pass the test?" Sasuke asked, well more like demanded. Anko smirked causing many of the Genin to shiver and look worried. Anko finished explaining the rules and point of the exam, I could feel the blood thirst rise among us, people were itching to kill, and a lot of it was directed at us rookies.

"Oh, and one more thing, this test has a time limit. You must finish it within 5 days." Anko stayed silent, letting that digest in our minds for a minute.

"5 Days?" Ino and Sakura screamed out.

"What are we supposed to do about food?" Choji asked our worriedly, his eyes wide. I smirked, I packed a lot of ration bars to eat and survive on. Anko and Kabuto tag teamed, telling how the forest has lots of food to find, but also lots of deadly alternatives. Yep, make everyone more fearful. Shikamaru raised his hand, eyes lidded and huffing in annoyance.

"Soo...um lets say we're halfway through the exam. Can we quit?" He drawled out. Everyone who didn't know Shika gave him incredulous looks. I had to turn my head away to hide my laughs of amusement at his laziness. Only he would think that, I can see him just sitting down, right before being attacked and giving up, going to sleep.

"In the middle of a battle can you just say 'sorry I quit?' No, you will end up dead." Anko said, annoyed at the absolute laziness of Shika.

"Great... this is going to be such a drag." I walked over to Shika and wrapped my arm around his waist, smirking up at him.

"Stop being such a lazy ass, you know you're smart and can finish this exam easily." Shikamaru grunted and shut his eyes, placing his head on top of mine and shutting his to relax before going into the forest.

"Mmm, same to you, just... just don't die out there troublesome woman."

"Eeh, you know nobody here can kill me." I could feel the eye roll coming from him, he buried his face in my hair and inhaled, then grunted before he let go and walked away. I went to each of my friends, wishing them luck. I made it to Gaara, and we had an awkward stare down. To end it, I hugged him, getting no hug in return, just a happy vibration from his sand bracelet. I wished him luck and made my way back to my team, not noticing the multiple pairs of eyes following me, and Gaara's mutter of 'mine' under his breath as I left him. I finally returned to my team, Naruto was animatedly telling Sasuke about all the he's going to kick. Sasuke replying with short answers or taunts, they seemed content and almost happy to converse with one another. We sat on the ground, taking strategies while everyone got their scrolls. I decided to give Naruto the scroll, nobody would expect the dead last to have it, its perfect. And this time, Sasuke cant hand it over to Snake man. We were so engrossed in the conversation, I didn't notice the presence near us, until the person's shadow covered me, blocking out the sun. I looked behind me, and almost jumped away, there was the Grass Nin aka Orochimaru. He eyed each of us, his eyes basically glittering when they landed on Sasuke. I saw his eyes rake over y form, interest sparked in them. I don't doubt Kabuto said something to him about me.

"Ahh, so you guys are some of the rookies. You must be quite impressive to have made it this far." My body was tense, and I had to prevent myself from calling him out, I already fucked up with Kabuto, I can't mess up my plans again.

"What's it to you?" Sasuke demanded harshly, his eyes narrow and body poised to attack.

"Yeah creepy lady, leave us alone." Naruto yelled out. They both didn't like the aura of Orochimaru. Orochimaru laughed a creepy laugh, voice still distorted to be like a woman's.

"So testy. My apologies, I'll be on my way." He said, he licked his lips, looking over us once more, then slithered away. Man if he wasn't so creepy and wearing someone else's skin, I'd be pretty excited to meet a Sanin. He's even more snake like in person, he moves in a deadly grace like a snake, I can tell and I haven't even seen him fight yet. I ripped ,y eyes away from him, and we went back to strategizing. Finally, everyone received their scrolls and we were called to each of our gates. We stood, exchanging glances, determination etched onto each of our features. 5..4..3..2..The gate was opened and we rushed inside. We were moving quickly to find the river, and I had my Byakugan on, scouting for potential threats as well as good resting spots. After 2 hours, we finally came to a stop, there was a cave and the river was only a quarter mile away from us. Sasuke went out to set some traps and Naruto and I were alone. I was feeling a bit exhausted from using my Byakugan consistently for so long, and I was running through my plans in my head over and over. Naruto noticed the strain on my face and he scooped me up in his arms. I was so focused on what to do with Orochimaru, I barely noticed Naruto holding me in his lap as he set up the fire. Sasuke came back and noticed my far away look, but said nothing. I fell asleep to Naruto's warmth, and got a good hour nap before I woke up. I noticed Sasuke's stare and went to sit by him, allowing Naruto the next nap. Sasuke and I were playfully bantering as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

After a few hours, the sun was getting ready to set, and one of the traps went off. We were all up and alert, weapons drawn. I was molding my chakra, moving it around readying it for ninjutsu use and to be used if I have to use olympic style with the enhanced strength. A team came from the Northeast, they were a team of 16 year old boys from Takigakure. Each of them had dark smirks on their faces. The boy on the left hand long green hair and was wielding a Chokuto (A/N this is a type of sword. Same kind Sasuke uses). The boy in the middle, he seemed to be the leader, hand short spiky dark grey hair, he had a Kunai, but I he looked like the jutsu user of the bunch. The boy on the right had purple hair and was carrying senbon, he was further back than the others meaning he's probably their medical ninja of the crew. It's rare to have med ninja in the field, but I could tell he was prepared to fight.

"Look who we have here, the three little rookie Genin from the Leaf. They must be getting so desperate to appear strong, they allow babies to try to become chunin." The middle boy scoffed.

"It really sounds more like you're jealous that we're in the Chunin exams as rookies when you weren't good enough until you were 16." I said back, putting on my shit-eating grin and laughing in their face. The green haired boy's face scrunched up into rage, he's the hot headed one. I signaled for Sasuke to take him on, weapon user versus weapon user; plus, Sasuke's cool facade always pisses off the hotheads, making them even more of a wild and blind fighter. I signaled for Naruto to take on the Medical Ninja, Naruto's brute strength and overpowering chakra, his fast healing from any specific medical attack, and especially his clones and wind use will make it easier to take out the medical ninja who has a small amount of chakra and is a fighter based off of dodging and not strength. Tsunade is the only exception to this style of medical ninja fighting, so Naruto will be the perfect contrast to overwhelm him. I decided to take the grey haired boy, he seems to be a jutsu user and looks to be more of a mid range fighter. I have the best handle on justu's between our teammates, and with combining my nin and tai jutsu, I will be able to take this guy down. I can fight him mid-range with my water ninjutsus, and use that to push him into close combat, which I can decimate him with.

"You bitch, I'll..." Sasuke and Naruto sent ferocious glares to the green haired boy.

"Little princess has a big bark, lets see if she has any bite." The grey haired boy said, calming down his hot headed teammate, cutting him off before he could continue to freak at me. Sasuke smirked as his opponent drew his sword, taunting him just by looking at him.

The boy's rage surfaced again and they shot at each other, kunai and sword meeting in a clang, sending off sparks from the collision of metals. The boy had strength, and his pressure with the sword was slowly overpowering Sasuke, but quick on his feet, Sasuke gripped the boys wrist, twisting it and throwing him over his shoulder effectively disorienting the boy so that Sasuke would not be overpowered. The green haired boy was fast, but Sasuke was faster. Greenie sent a flurry of swipes and jabs towards Sasuke, his skills with his sword were blatantly apparent. He moved with a deadly grace and if Sasuke was any slower and less skilled, he would have lost. The training with Zabuza and Kakashi kicked in and Sasuke easily dodged each swipe, making the green haired boy even more pissed off. Losing his temper, the boy added in some more moves, and managed to nick Sasuke in the shoulder. Sasuke scoffed in annoyance and activated his Sharingan. Sasuke jumped in the air, made the hand signs and sent a massive fireball at the swordsman. While the boy was occupied with dodging and not getting fried, Sasuke threw a barrage of Kunai around the boy. The boy laughed and taunted Sasuke for having shitty aim. Sasuke merely smirked, landing on a tree branch. Looking closer, there was a glint of ninja wires surrounding the boy and each of the wires led back to Sasuke. Sasuke made a fist and pulled back causing all the wire's to wrap tightly around the green boy, easily trapping him in a hold he would not be able to get out of. The boy shouted a string of curses at the Uchiha as Sasuke teasingly stalked his way forward. The onyx eyed boy chopped the green haired boy in the neck, knocking him out. The boy slumped over and Sasuke searched him for the scroll, finding nothing.

Naruto was having a standoff with the med ninja. The boy smirked at Naruto, dismissing his skills immediately like so many others. That angered the knucklehead and Naruto got ready to fight. He sent a wave of chakra through his hands, activating his brass knuckles. The med ninja noticed this and put a bit more distance between himself and Naruto. Grabbing 4 senbon in each hand, the boy threw them quick and precise at numbing spots. Naruto noticed this and managed to move enough so that the senbon impaled him, but nowhere important. Being hit already pissed off Naruto even more. He took a calming breath like he was taught and assessed the situation. He noticed the distance the med ninja but between them, Naruto figured out that meant he was not a strong fighter, and by his weapons, the same as Haku used, he figured the boy must be fast, but he can tell he's no where near Haku's level. The boy sent another round of senbon at Naruto, but this time Naruto remembered the training that was beat into him: 'duck, dive, dodge' ran through his head, don't get hit, never get hit.

Naruto moved in his wild way, dodging the senbon, punching the last one with his iron clad hand, sending it clattering to the floor. Right when the boy grabbed another handful of senbon, he prepared a senbon Shadow Clone jutsu to sent a mass amount at Naruto. Noticing this, Naruto made a ton of Shadow clones, using each of them to take the hits of the senbon instead of him. Naruto figured out that if he cant fully dodge something, using a shadow clone to take the hit is the best way to survive. The med ninja froze in shock at the mass amount of Shadow Clones, wondering how much chakra Naruto must have to not even be phased by it. The med ninja pulled out more senbon, these ones laced in poison, the purple liquid was dripping off of them. He threw a barrage yet again at Naruto, leaving him without enough time to make enough Shadow clones. Naruto pushed himself into the air, twirling to avoid some of the senbon, and send a giant Great Breakthrough jutsu from his palms, rendering all of the senbon useless and sending the med ninja flying back into a tree, covering him in cuts and knocking him out. Naruto jumped in joy, curling his hand into a fist, proud of his first real success in the exams. His bright smile was making the area basically glow, and he all but skipped over to his defeated victim and checked his pockets, not finding the needed scrolls. He did find food scrolls, and decided to take those for future help in the exams.

Sasuke and Naruto rushed into battle, I was having a stare down with the dark grey haired boy.

"Little Princess, if you tell me who has the scroll, I wont hurt you...much. This place is not meant for cuties like you, you should be in the kitchen not trying to be a ninja. I'll even be nice enough to make you mine after this and you can cook for me all I want. I like a feisty girl." He said with a smirk, licking his lips lecherously.

"Damn, I finally got Kiba to stop being a sexist bastard, now I have to beat it into you too? Call me princess one more time and I'll show you why I'm to be feared, asshole." The boy smirked, letting out a laugh with a mix of annoyance and lust.

"I can't wait to break you in... princess." I giggled at him, turning it into a full blow laugh. I narrowed my eyes and activated my Byakugan, watching as he revved up his chakra. His chakra was gritty and moved steadily. He started making hand signs and the flow of his chakra was being moved around, his chakra moved towards his arms and when it reached there, it was being molded into the likeness of rock and mud. He's an earth user. The best counter for that is lightning, so with my limited arsenal, I'm going to have to improvise and add lightning into my normal water jutsu's. Just like wind and fire amplify each other, lightning and water do. Water is a conductor so when a hit of lightning is added, the water becomes electrified. He finished his unfamiliar hand signs, and called out Bashōsen: Coil of Earth. Why people call out their jutsu's I'll never know, only some don't and they are the smart ones. It's honestly such a handicap and gives so many opportunities for counter. I can't believe more ninja haven't noticed this. 4 giant, sharp stone slabs emerged from the ground and came barreling towards me.

I dodged one, and jumped to avoid the other three. Grey boy made one more handsign and spikes came shooting out from the Earth coils. I pushed chakra throughout my body and spun emitting a mass amount of chakra from myself, creating an impenetrable dome of chakra. The spikes hit the dome and broke right as I finished my 8 Trigrams Heavenly spin. The boy watched in shock and fury as his attacks did nothing to me. I merely smiled at his angry state. He prepared another justu and I prepared one of my own. I did the hand signs: ox, tiger, ox, tiger creating the Water Dragon Bullets. As each was formed, right before they attacked, I infused the lightning from my palms into the bullets, electrifying them. They shot towards the boy, he blocked one with his Mud Wall justu, but since they were lightning based, the other's broke through. They lost some of their size from the water being absorbed by the mud, but they made contact with the boy, frying him dizzy. While he was trying to gather his wits, I body flickered up to him and gave him a swift punch to the jaw, knocking him out and leaving a nasty bruise to form. I checked in his pouch and sure enough he had a scroll, sadly it was a heaven scroll, same as ours.

Naruto and Sasuke dragged their KO'd opponents to me, and using some of Sasuke's ninja wire, he tied them all to a tree. Naruto and Sasuke both were basically glowing with pride of our wins. Sasuke had on a small smile and I jumped on his back, wrapping my arm's around his neck like a Koala. I pressed my cheek to his, smiling brightly.

"Guys we kicked ASS oh my Kami we were awesome!" Sasuke removed me form his back, hiding his face slightly so I couldn't see his blush. Still amped up with Adrenaline from our fight, I knew I'd get the hype I need from Naruto. I ran and jumped on his front, wrapping my legs around his waist. He held me up and we fist bumped. I was so proud of Naruto, I got to see glimpses of his fight and he was amazing, it was nice to see him fight somebody other than our teammates for once and it really showed on how skilled he's become. I kissed his cheek and Naruto's grin widened. Naruto carried me back to our fire and I sat in his lap, eating my food as he told me in detail all about his fight. Sasuke got up, going to fill up all of our water bottles. Naruto and I continued out conversation.

"Naru, why do you like Ichiraku's so much. I mean, the ramen is good, but you treat it like a godsend." Naruto's cheerful demeanor was changed into thoughtful. His eyes glazed over like he was remembering something. He was wearing a soft smile, but it was still sad.

"Before I met you, I had nobody. Everyone hated me so it was hard for me to find food, it was always too expensive or nobody would give it to me hoping I'd starve. One night after I was kicked out of the orphanage, it was pouring rain and I was so cold. I was walking in the street, trying to find some place to let me in before I died from the cold. All of the stores laughed at my misery and shut me out, until I found Old Man Ichiraku's. The place was warm and smelled so good, so I walked inside, huddling in the corner. Old Man Ichiraku walked out to greet me, and I thought for sure he was going to kick me out and beat me like everyone else, but instead he smiled at me and let me sit down. He made me a miso ramen and was so kind to me. It's one of the only good memories I have as a kid so I think I associate the food with the memory. The place is a godsend to me, without it I'd be gone." I was in tears by the end of the story. I'd always wondered why he loved ramen so much, but now I see why he does. I turned around and hugged Naruto tightly, doing my best not to cry at how horrible his life was. He rubbed my back. "Don't be sad Hina-chan. I'm not sad about it anymore, because I have you and Kakashi-sensei, and even teme." He said, his cheerful aura was back and it was comforting. I laughed a bit, as he wiped away my tears. Naruto and I talked for a bit longer when he brought the topic of Sakura up.

"I figured out something." Naruto muttered, his blue eyes sharp and pensive.
"You can think on your own?" I teased. He smiled and punched my shoulder, calling me Teme 2.0.

"I know why I liked Sakura." My eyebrow raised, I definitely noticed the past tense liked, not like. Is he finally over the fake pinkette.

"Liked?" We were both facing the fire, his head on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I liked her because she was different, she was bullied like I was, but figured her way around it. I liked that and because I wanted to be like that, I thought she was the love of my life."

"What changed? You swooned over her all the time."

"When she first stopped being your friend, I noticed she wasn't the nice girl anymore, but I ignored it. Same as how I ignored that I didn't have a chance with Teme being her love. When you asked me why, I though about it a lot. I realized, I don't love her anymore, she's just a mean girl and there is someone better for me. I' starting to think my heart belongs to someone else." My eyes widened, who the hell is he talking about. Somebody is taking his heart, whoever it is better not break it. I turned my head around to look Naruto in his vivid blue eyes.

(Sasuke POV)

I finished gathering water, and was making my way back to our camp for the night. I didn't like how Hinata kissed Naruto, or how he looked at her. She's mine and she should only be kissing me, even if it's on the cheek. I was fuming in jealousy at the blonde dobe. I made it back to the camp after checking all of our traps. My teeth clenched and my Sharingan activated at the sight. MY Hinata was sitting on the dobe's lap, looking up at him. He was looking at her, a slight blush on his face as they spoke in hushed tones. I know she isn't in love with him, and I thought the dobe was in love with Sakura, but this looked too romantic, and by his blush, he must like my Hinata.

"Who?" Hinata asked, furrowing her brows. She looked so beautiful with the fire illumaniting her face. Even with dirt and stray hairs, she's always beautiful. More so than any other girl I've ever seen. I was far enough away, they didn't notice me yet, and I could read their lips with the Sharingan. Naruto grinned at her, she laughed in return. My blood was boiling, but I had to stay to figure out what they are talking about.

"She is the prettiest girl I've ever seen, she's really strong, sometimes scary, really loud, boyish, and cusses too much. She isn't the ideal girl, but she's mine. She believes in me and always had." My glare was so strong, I'm surprised Naruto hasn't combusted yet.

"She sounds cool." Hinata replied, still oblivious that he was talking about her. She was smiling in pure joy that Naruto liked somebody. He tucked her stray hair behind her ear and leaned down to kiss her, but before he could, I revealed myself. I walked straight up to them, Naruto removed Hinata from him and stood up. We had a glaring match, more tense than usual. This was not one of friends but of rivals. I smirked a bit as a thought came to my head. While their attention was on my face, I sliced myself in the leg with a Kunai. I looked away from the dobe and turned to my lavender eyes beauty.

"Freak, I just noticed that guy we fought earlier cut my thigh. You have the bandages, wrap it." She sighed and shook her head at us.

"Hn, duckbutt." She said, mocking me. I smirked and sat down, ignoring the glares from the dobe. For the next few minutes, Hinata cleaned out my cut and wrapped it. Her fingers caressing me gently, well as gentle as she can be, contrasting to her violent words calling me an idiot for noticing so late. Each touch sent jolt's through my body, I had to control myself from kissing her. I love her so much, but I still don't have the guts to tell her. I'm a failure of an Uchiha. This would be so much easier if she was an actual fangirl. I settled for watching her work, loving her touching me. It should be me, not Naruto she touches.

(Hinata POV) Timeskip to the next day.

We woke up, ate some ration bars, and packed up all of our stuff, leaving the traps just to help take out other teams. Instead of a code to make sure it's us. We each have to reveal a secret only we would know. Naruto's code is 9 Tails, Sasuke's is Root, and mine is Peter Parker. We were moving in our formation, Sasuke in front, me taking up the rear. Sasuke stopped to take a drink of water and thats when a massive gust of wind came knocking all of us out of whack. The wind was sharp like needles and left cuts in all of us, then blew each of us apart. I felt my back hit a tree, knocking me completely through it, before hitting one more. I slid to the ground groaning in pain.

I wanted to show each fight briefly to show more of the high level Team 7 is at compared to some of the other genin right now. You will see a lot more of their skills in time in the next few chapters and how they came to get those skills. Orochimaru, Kabuto, the Sound, and a few special guests are next! How's this going to play out?? Mmm, Naruto's finally starting to have feelings and Sasuke's jealous.
