Confession

(1 Year Later)

"C'mon, you guys can do better than that, come at me!"I yelled at the four in front of me. With a frustrated look on their face, they all start running at me from in front of me, behind me, to my left and my right. Smirking at an idea, right as they're about to collapse on top of me, I jump up and notice a look on surprise on their face but notice Sasuke recovers enough to jump right before they dog-pile on each other and tries to grab my leg but falls just short ultimately falling on top of all of them.

Seeing what happened I start laughing making them get angry looks on their face.

"It's not funny!"They yell out comically making me laugh harder and I notice a certain girl blushing harder than the rest making me calm down a bit and smile wryly instead thinking of her.

For the past year I have been training Hinata, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke and they've all gotten significantly stronger, especially Naruto since he's been learning everything in the scrolls Minato left behind and Sasuke learning from the scrolls his clan left behind and getting a fully matured Sharingan. Hinata has gotten over her fear of hurting people and shyness and also has gotten better at the Hyuga's Taijutsu style along with healing jutsu since Hyuga's have complete control over their Tenketsu points and with her Byugan she can identify any problems immediately, she's also earned the respect of her father finally. Though I remember the conversation I had with her dad to allow her to learn healing Jutsu since Hyuga's are known for being pure Taijutsu users. Sakura has been learning healing Jutsu and Taijutsu, I've been trying to prepare them both for when Tsunade comes around so they can both be trained by Tsunade.

"We'll get you next time!"Naruto exclaimed bringing me out of my monologue. I just smiled in response and Hinata walks in front of me.

"Hey Ryu, can we talk?"Hinata asked me.

"Sure."I said with a smile anyway and took Hinata farther from the group where we're out of earshot and sight and sit on a bench and signal her to sit down to which she does.

"Soo, what you want to talk about?"I asked her while using a hand towel wiping away the sweat away from my face. Hinata then takes a second and a determined look on her face.

"Ryu, I really like you and was wondering if you can be my boyfriend?!"She practically yelled the last part, and this caught me off guard, Hinata is a really nice girl and anyone can see that, but I don't want to cuck Naruto.

"...Hinata, wh--"

'I also think your really nice and cool caring person and have always been there for me, please date me!"She said again and looked down with her eyes closed waiting for my answer, making my heart ache though I don't know why since there's no way I like her and she's supposed to be Naruto's, but above all I don't want to get hurt again, I can't and for that I can't let anyone in again.

"I'm sorry Hinata, but I can't reciprocate your feelings."I said slowly.

"But we can still be frie-"

No! It's okay, I'm sorry for bothering you!"She said with tears in her eyes and ran away, as I'm about to chase her though I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Sasuke shaking his head telling me not to follow and behind him are Sakura and Naruto, and Sakura did something surprising, she walked up to me and slapped me.

"How could you hurt Hinata like that?! She loved you with all her heart and you rejected her! You were her idol, her everything! It took all her courage to confess to you and it ended in her being hurt!"She exclaimed, and I just stood there shell shocked, letting the words sink in.

"I'm going to look for her, Naruto, Sasuke, you going to help or not?"She said to them and they nodded in agreement and went to find her. After standing there for a while I got out my shock finally.

'I have, no, I need to find Hinata.'I thought to myself before following where I felt the footsteps go.

(Near Hinata)

"This is the opportunity Lord Danzo has been looking for, go and report while I follow her."One man with standard Anbu gear said to another identical one where the only difference that can be seen between the two is their mask. The other man nodded before disappearing into the air.

(Root Headquarters)

In an underground lair/cave an old man can be seen sitting on a throne. Before him the other man from before appears in front of him kneeling to him.

"What do you have to report?"The man on the throne called Danzo said.

"The Hyuga Princess is currently alone."The man said in a stoic voice, while Danzo got a smirk on his face.

"Take 3 squads with you to retrieve her just in case."

'...I will have you under my control, Ryu.'
